287 watch party.
Watch along with MMA Fighting.com
as the UFC returns to Miami for the first time in nearly two decades.
And with it, a long-standing combat rivalry writes its next chapter.
The UFC middleweight title is on the line in a rematch as Alex Pereira
defends his title for the first time and looks to put former champion Israel Adasanya
behind him for good in the main event.
In the co-mate event, Gilbert Torreño Burns tries to get back into title contention.
But to do that, he will need to spoil the homecoming of the BMF champion in Miami's own Jorge Cambred, Mosvedal.
Live from the box studios in beautiful New York City, this is the UFC 287 watch party.
Yes, we are here.
Welcome to the UFC 287 watch party.
It looks like we're in Miami, but we're actually in the beautiful Vox Studios in New York City.
I know, it's unbelievable.
I'm convinced we're in Miami right now.
Yes, I am Mike Hack.
That is Don Johnson.
I mean, Connor Berg.
That Donnie J.
That outfit is outstanding.
I'm not going to lie.
Like, normally, you know, I try to remain humble.
When I first saw myself in the camera, I was like, wow.
Wow, we're really putting on a show for the people tonight.
Tries to remain humble.
I look fantastic.
Speaking of fantastic, Kelvin Gasolum and Chris Curtis are putting on a.
banger right now. They are
beating six shades of
caca out of each other. That is a fun
10 minutes. Where are the live odds
at right now on that fight? So there was the
accidental clash of heads. Right now, Kelvin
Gasol minus 285, Chris Curtis plus
225. I don't know if the judges are going to
recognize the accidental clash of heads. We saw Chris
Curtis go down there. That could be big for
the scorecards. It could be 2O
Kelvin Gasolm. But I think
the finish could be live in round three. I mean, these
these dudes are chucking them. It is a
good fight. Normally we don't get to
talk about the featured prelim.
I had a feeling these guys were going to make it.
I had a feeling these guys were going to make it both incredibly tough.
I mean, they're delivering.
This is definitely the fight that has delivered the most, in my opinion, so far.
Yeah, and right before that was Luana Pinero and Michelle Waters and Gomez, another great fight.
So they set the table.
Joe Pfeiffer, just Joe Pfeiffer, Gerald Mearshar.
Pfeiffer, man.
He looked incredible.
I mean, first round K.O., be Joe Pfeiffer.
He's a giant.
He's a big, big man.
He's a beast.
A lot of people are taught.
We do this thing with the middleweighty middleweights.
I don't think Joe Pipers are moving.
Nah, no, I would not say he's a middleweighty, middleweight.
Excited to see him.
I would love to see him go up against a really dangerous striker.
Yeah, I wonder, maybe throwing him in there with Bruno Silva.
That'd be a lot of fun.
Yeah, man, what was going on with Bruno Silva that one night against Gerald Mearshart?
He just got, he got rolled.
Gerald Mirashart did not have it tonight.
No, he didn't have it.
Mark Goddard let him take a little too much unnecessary, unnecessary damage.
for being honest as soon as he went down
goward was doing the right thing
the goddard defender here
here comes
mysterious frank i mean
so you're defending this frank
i mean gerald merser was down he was basically
doing everything in his power without actually
saying i'm done
oh yeah yeah yeah germereff essentially quit
like he was just like i'm good
why am i hitting this man anymore yeah he was like
i'm good on this like completely covering up he was like
who's gonna call this for me
but please frank defend him
Yeah, yeah, defend him, dude.
It's a great guy.
What do you think of round three here?
Say it one more time?
Yes.
What do you think about round three here?
Four minutes to go.
This is, I mean, again, with Gasselham, you have to run them over at the trail.
I was going to say that chin doesn't age so far.
Chris Curtis is doing the backing away from the fight.
Like, fight me, man, similar to the Hermanson one.
While he's not really pushing forward doing anything himself.
Gasolm looks good.
Oops.
Does he a Mouty fly or tooth?
Oh.
Tooth?
Or maybe just a big wad of spit.
Yeah.
Big spit, big beat of sweat, something.
I think Gasselm probably won the first two rounds.
That's my assumption.
Don't know with the judges.
Nice left hand from Gassolm.
Yeah, the cards haven't been...
I thought Watterson won.
I thought Watterson won the Pinheiro fight, but it was close.
I thought Calvio did enough to get it done.
I'm not going to lie.
Some people thought that was, you know,
the 32-27 Lupida.
didn't agree with. That was a stinky card.
I'm also biased. I had a Calvio plus
240 bet, so. But yeah,
I just don't see a world where Lupy won
that third round, but unfortunately, as soon as I heard the
3027, I was like, oh, man. We were live reacting to it,
and I had the fingers crossed, I was praying, and when
you heard 3027, you're like, gosh, he lost.
But Bruce even did the thing where he stood behind.
I thought that was, I thought that was the lock for
Caldillo there. He, like, went out of
his way to stand, like, very far
behind Lupita. I thought he was going to give us the
turn the other way, Calveo.
Well, while this fight is going on, we are going to have a chat bet.
We're going to tell you right now what fight that's going to be on.
Yes, and we're going to go ahead and get the poll up.
We're going to get it out so you guys can ride it with us.
So we're going to go Kevin Holland, Santiago Ponziabio.
We'll have you guys vote on that.
We'll go ahead and get the poll up.
I'll take the bet.
That's what we'll do.
All right.
Two minutes to go here.
If we cash and we've been very good at cashing, we'll let it ride to the main event.
For the big one.
For the big one.
for the big one. Hopefully, that's a tough fight to call, Ponzo Nouveau Holland.
It's such a weird fight. It's just kind of there.
Yeah.
Like, I feel.
Ooh, Chris Curtis.
Oh, Gassel with the left hand.
Oh, my gosh, dude.
This is exactly what I was hoping for this fight.
This fight is just delivered. Just a slobber knocker.
It's just like two dudes who chuck them and neither of them is going to go out.
It's fantastic.
Kevin Gasselm seems to be the butt of a lot of MMA jokes,
but people often forget how pretty solid and talented he is.
He's just dealt with so much bad luck
and not being able to make it to the cage.
But when he's in there, he's fun.
That was Curtis working the body with the knee.
That was nasty.
About 90 seconds left.
Oh, nice left hand, maybe.
All right.
Curtis.
Wow, Curtis, running away with it in this third round
in the striking differential.
Wow.
These score cards.
Oh, I love the body work.
That's what he does best, man.
He's fantastic going to the body.
Gassum song is down.
A live line is minus 550 Gasslam.
All right.
I don't know, man.
I think these scorecards are about to be dicey.
Yeah, nice knee from Gassol.
Oh, I like that little step in elbow.
Oh, my gosh, both dudes just swung for the fences.
Wow.
Oh, Gassel with the big over here.
Oh.
And that, that's like a little bit of elbow.
elbow were massive. Gasselm just nods. He's cool with it, dude. You legitimately have to run this dude over.
Gaslitz like a so hard character. Look at Chris Carter. Dude. Oh, Gaslam, right back to him.
Big off the cut. Oh, big knee. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh.
Gaslop. Look at him. Gaslom's bouncing. It goes to the takedown.
Curtis Defensive. Yo, this is crazy.
Oh!
Whoa!
Oh, another left in!
Exclamation point for Gaslo!
Wow, dude.
Wow.
I think that's going to be a 29-28 gaslum.
What a fight for real.
Gotta be a fight of the night contender, no doubt.
It's the leader in the clubhouse.
That was fantastic.
That was amazing.
Frank, I mean, how much did Mark Goddard's involvement in that fight
make it as good as it did?
A lot, obviously.
Are you eating something, Frank? What's for dinner?
Not at all.
It's a filter I have on the mic.
Okay.
Me and Frank went and got some Cubans beforehand, and I guess he's hungry again.
I was getting roasted, honestly.
A highly rated Cuban restaurant here in New York just ordered their standard Cuban sandwich,
and a lot of people were just like, what is this, man?
This isn't a Cuban.
It didn't help that you showed up half an hour late.
What's that I have to do with the picture come up from?
Oh, I didn't know that.
Why do we have to give that information out?
The trains on the weekend, they're spaced weird.
I missed it by one minute.
The Uber was running late.
You know, I was resigned to being late once I missed that train.
Yeah, it happens.
But people are giving you crap, not a legit Cuban?
Yeah, a few people.
Some guy was like, you must have gotten paid to eat this.
Yeah, man, I mean, food takes are as hot as any debated topic on the internet.
What's worse?
MMA takes or food takes?
Dude, I don't know, man.
It's a great...
Maybe food takes, bro.
People get hot about those
when, at the end of the day,
it all just comes down to taste.
The Cuban tasted fantastic.
I ate the entire thing happily.
All right, here we go, scorecards.
All right, let's see who got this done.
Gaslam.
We're about to get a splity, aren't we?
Better not.
Am I about to lose another split?
Nah, that's unanimous.
Gasolm.
Gasolm.
Yeah, that's Calvin.
Gasolm.
Gasolm.
Kelvin Gaston.
There it is.
Calvin Gasselham.
Bang.
Kelvin Gasselm, even money, yeah, plus 100.
Great bet. He's back, baby.
KG.
Dude, that was...
A real big ticket.
That fight ruled.
Word to Kevin Garnett.
Yes, that fight was fantastic.
How happy is Joe Rogan right now?
Elated.
I mean, he loves him some Kelvin Gasselm.
Or is he like to say Calvin?
Calvin Gassel.
From the second they touched gloves, he was loving Gasselm.
It was just a...
There's such a good fight.
There we go, KG.
All right.
Is he talking about himself or?
I don't know.
I mean, it would make sense.
He screamed.
He just screamed.
Yes.
I feel you.
I feel you, Kelvin.
Let's go.
Oh, quick little gong hit, you know.
Oh, a quick little gong hit, you know.
Shout out to Kelvin Gastel.
I mean, we're not even 15 minutes into the show here.
We're banging gong.
Shout out to Kelvin Gastlo.
So there's no pressure on the parley pals, huh?
No, but if there had been, I got my pick right over one and a half.
We died, unfortunately, last night.
New York Rick had Aspen Ladd in the PFL.
Watch that one was not an enjoyable watch.
Was not an enjoyable watch at all.
As someone that was riding with her for the parlay pals,
not a fun watch.
Yeah, that card looked like and seemed like a tough hang just on paper.
So I killed.
The Aspen Lab fight was the pinnacle of the tough hangness.
Good for Elena Klausnik.
Yes, good for her.
She's gone through a lot.
Yes.
So it was a nice win.
Shaved her head for the weight cut.
Yeah, she still missed it, though.
It's unfortunate.
Kelvin Gaslam.
Back.
Good win.
Love it.
There's Eddie Chah.
Just a great team of coaches.
Just coaching against each other.
Eric Nixick against Eddie Chah.
Good stuff right there.
Let's go.
Let's go.
And now we get to the main card.
That was a beautiful crescendo.
into the main card. I am pumped up
for this main card. Yes.
Get those votes in for the chat.
Speaking of... Yes, Frank, tell me.
The chat has decided.
Okay. They have decided.
Okay. Kevin Holland by
TKO or KO.
Wow. Kevin Holland, KOTK. All right.
I'm down with it. I dig it. Let's see what that
lines at. It's got to be plus money.
Has to be.
Let's take a gander.
I think partying with Calvin Gasol would be a pretty good
time tonight. I mean, tonight in Miami.
Kelvin Gasselham on the return.
If I showed up at his party wearing this,
you think he'd let me in?
Oh, he'd put you on his shoulders.
That's what I'm saying.
The look, and there's Alex Pereira, like, slowly walking down the aisle.
And he's just rocking, like, the UFC shirt with, like, the hat.
He's just like, yep, here to fight.
Shout out to New Jersey's own Chaucor Stevenson.
He's got a fight tonight.
Oh, yes.
Pride in Newark.
Okay.
The host site of the next pay-per-view.
Yes, yes.
UFC 288.
So what do you think of a 289, Connor?
Going to the Cove, Vancouver?
Oh, man.
We got a hell of a main event, another trilogy.
All right, so if we're going to talk to that,
I think that the people of Canada,
and I don't want to speak for them, I could be wrong here.
I think that, I thought they were hoping for a Toronto,
maybe a Montreal, maybe a Calgary, somewhere there.
The guy, Vancouver, beautiful city,
West Coast Canadians, got to love it.
Don't know if they're that hyped about the main event.
Don't know.
Don't really know if we need it.
Manonunia is minus 700 in the trilogy fight.
I mean, what if they just got there and it's like another 50-44?
It's probably what's going to happen.
I mean, to Julianne Appain is crap.
If I lived in Vancouver and, like, we had been fighting to get a Canadian pay-per-view back,
and that was the main event, I'd be pretty disappointed,
especially because it's going to be sandwiched in between 288,
which is Aljima Sirling, Henry Sehudo,
Charles Overeb and Hill-Therry Ush,
bangers, like, I cannot wait for that card.
And then 290, which is going to be stacked to the brim,
and then you're getting your card in the in-between.
Would not be incredibly excited about it.
I wonder if we're getting two July pay-per-views.
Because I know they're going back to London,
but for when I understand,
that's not going to be paper-view?
If we get two July pay-per-views,
will that be 14 paper-views this year?
Yeah, yes, because we got two in March
and then what I think, it seems like we're going to do two in July, but not real sure.
But at least they're doing a little more traveling.
We're getting out of the apex a little bit more.
Yes, which I do love.
So beautiful Kansas City next week, and then, well, back to the apex for two more cards after that.
And then it's Newark and then it's Charlotte, North Carolina.
What are the odds on that one?
Kevin Holland by KOTKO plus 150.
I thought it would be a little higher than that.
I kind of did too.
But the chat has spoken, and we will ride with the chat.
Okay.
And they haven't let us down very much.
No, I'm going to fully trust them here.
Ponsonibio, I suppose he is aging a little bit.
Kevin Holland, I feel good about the KOTKL prop.
Kevin Holland's kind of a guy that he's sort of killer be killed, you know?
I feel like if Kevin wins, that's how he's going to win.
Yes.
I feel like the longer the fight goes, the more it favors Ponzi scheme.
I like the idea of that.
I'm okay with that.
I've placed it,
and I'm happy to ride with the chat.
All right.
The chat,
I think we're like five and one
with the chat,
the initial one.
What fight on the main card
are you most looking forward to?
I mean,
I mean, the main and co-main event
I'm intrigued by
in totally different ways.
I love the Yana's Fawn fight.
It's so good.
Dude, when I say,
I can't wait for that.
I think we can have very similar vibes
to the gas,
him Curtis one. I think that could be a 15-minute war. Two fantastic strikers.
Rob Fon's talking about maybe using the wrestling, maybe going for a submission. I don't know.
I could see these guys just swinging it out and it being incredible. I mean,
Rob Fon, he's been dropped a lot in his last two fights, but he's, dude, he's got a chin.
Like, never been knocked out. You've got to put the man fully out. So that could end up being
a fantastic 15-minute affair. It's just a lot, like the level of competition is, it's night and day.
And that's the thing that I can't get out of my mind is Jan is super talented.
And if he wins this fight, then, like, kudos to him.
But Fawn has just fought everybody.
He's fought the murderers row in this division for years from, you know, starting back to, like, his first handful of UFC fights, fighting John Lineker in Brazil.
And then fighting Hafeola, the sons of the world where in the Munoz's of the world and all those guys on the way up.
And now going from that Ricky Simone, like, how good has that win aged?
Oh, my gosh, dude.
Ricky Simone fights for a few weeks.
How good has that win aged?
Oh, man.
And now we go up and up in Jose Aldo, Marlon Vera, where he did great in those two fights.
Like, he got dropped, but he did very well.
Like, the stats numbers and those two fights are just unbelievable to look at because
fun like doubles or triples up both guys in both fights.
And really the only reason that he's been losing is because of his, he's been getting dropped.
Yeah.
If he can avoid the power bunches of Yannes, which that could be a path to victory for Yannes.
It could be very similar to the last two fights where he gets outstruck by 80 strikes,
but he drops font two times along the way and picks up two rounds.
I mean, that could very well happen.
I mean, he's a huge power puncher.
Has a ton of knockouts in his career.
Love that fight.
The co-main event, very interesting.
We got Gilbert Burns versus Jorge Mazadol.
This is the fight where, and I feel like,
I feel like with any of these picks in the main card,
especially the last two fights,
you're going to look foolish either way.
Because the way I've looked at it is that the betting lines
in the Gilbert Burns-Horhe Mazadol fight,
it's just unfairly wide that Mazadol should not be
as big of an underdog as he is.
Like this fight on paper is more competitive
than the betting odds suggests.
Like this is not an 80% kind of a fight for Gilbert Burns.
I just don't think it's that case.
I don't think Gilbert is Colby.
He's not Oosman with the wrestling.
He's not going to sit there and shoot 25 takedowns in this fight.
Could he get Mazadol to the ground?
Sure.
But Mazadol is a very good defensive grappler.
He's actually a pretty good defensive wrestler overall,
and he's a very good defensive fighter overall.
The issue I have is if this fight goes down the stretch,
yes, he could fade.
But Mazadol, in this building with the reception he's going to get,
he's going to come out throwing absolute heaters.
And I feel like stylistically,
if Burns tries to take him down early, he's not going to have a ton of success.
So to me, this fight's going to play out a lot on the feet.
And you just can't make a case where Mazadol has no chance of winning a stand-up battle
with Gilbert.
It's not saying Gilbert can't win that, but you can't say that if this fight plays out on the feed,
for most of it, that Gilbert Burns is 80% likely to win.
Everything you just said, I completely agree with.
That if it's a minus 110, minus 110 fight, you're bringing out the bankroll on Gilbert Burns, no doubt.
plus 380 for Jorge Mazvedal, especially if it stays standing.
I really do think he has a better chance.
So I think he's going to win.
I would say it's on the less likely side,
but I do think he does have a chance,
especially with the way that this crowd is going to react in Miami.
Like, I really think this is going to be a hero's welcome for Jorge Mazvedal.
He's not going to go outside.
He is going to come out swinging.
And I think he's going to, you know, be tough for Gilbert.
And like you said, the later it goes, the more I probably favorite Gilbert.
Burns, but I'm excited for that one.
I mean, the dream is alive.
I'm paying the price of entry by betting on Jorge Mazel.
Just to have the dream alive for a minute, the King of Miami, you know, gets a knockout.
If he wobbles Gilbert, Frank, you're going to have to be watching the faders because I'm,
I'm going to scream.
I'm going to scream loud if it happens.
Like, we're, I'm going to raise it up an octave.
We're living for a dream at that moment.
But, yeah, I can't wait for that one.
Just, if not just to see the scenes of Jorge getting.
this co-main event in Miami.
I mean, the dude, his first professional
fight was what?
15 years ago?
20 years ago?
Mazadols?
Yeah.
03?
Yeah.
Like, it's been 20 years.
And, like, now he's getting a UFC
co-main event in Miami.
I talked to a man,
Tony Colada Good.
He may join the show later.
He's there.
He is from Miami.
And he says that
the fans are going to go
absolutely bananas for him
when he shows up.
Here comes this Girada, Sanya.
I love.
I love this.
Is that orange?
I love this.
A little like, yeah, it's like a deep tangerine there.
Satin, silk.
What are we looking at?
I mean, it looks good.
Love, we're back to the pearls and the chains.
Looks good.
Looks casual.
Whoa, Pereiro with the all black.
Looks like he's going to look like hitman.
Looking like hitman.
Oh, I love it.
I love this rivalry.
Love this rivalry.
I can't wait.
Pens and needles.
Last time we were here was one of, I would say it was one of the better moments in
in watch party history.
I kept the shirt far away from here.
I didn't even bring it with me.
Don't want to bring the curses in here.
Yeah, I can't wait for this main event, dude.
So before we got on,
you spoke so eloquently for like
three minutes straight about
the dream scenario about how this entire card plays.
I did. I did break down.
Do we want to put this out into the universe
and hope for the good juju,
or do you think this could jinx it?
Okay, all right, let's recap.
But we've already gotten the most brilliant start.
I mean, that is exactly what we expected.
I said, okay, we're going to go on to the air at 945.
Kelvin Gaslam and Chris Curtis will be entering the second or the third round in an absolute firefight.
Neither of the guys are going to go out.
That's exactly what happened.
That's where we're at.
Now, I veered off from where you normally are, but this is where I went.
I say, Christian Rodriguez comes out here, upsets Raoul Rosas, the 18-year-old, the man with all this hype behind him.
He upsets, shocks the world.
Christian Rodriguez puts his name on the map.
Shout out to Anthony Pettis.
We go to the Comain.
No, we go to the second fight of the night.
Kevin Holland, Santiago Ponson, Nibio, absolute Barnburner, ends up with someone getting finished.
Now because of the chat bet, we know that it's going to be Kevin Holland by KOTKO.
That's going to be a fantastic fight.
Then we go to fight three.
Decision, 15 minutes, Rob Fon, Adrian Yannes, back and forth the entire way.
Super close contested decision.
Someone wins clearly 29, 28, one of the ways.
Co-Mane event.
Crowd goes crazy as Jorge Molle Molle.
Masvedol enters the octagon. I have chills. We go to me and we zoom in on my arm. I have actual goosebumps. You're like, wow, this is really getting crazy. And it comes out. He's doing the whole smirks, everything like that. Firefight the entire first round. It never goes to the mat. It's just a back and forth. Oh, man, both of them get wobbled at one point. I mean, it's absolutely crazy. We go to round two, about two minutes left in the round. Gilbert Burns is having a ton of success in round two. And then out of nowhere, spinning back fist from Jorge Mosvidal. Oh, Gilbert's rocked. He's wobbled.
He's wobbled.
Gets him up against the fence.
Jorge Mazvedos teeing off.
The arena is going absolutely crazy.
No one can believe what we're seeing.
Jorge Mazvado is he going to get a title shot against Leon Rocky Edwards at this point?
In steps Frank's favorite, Mark Goddard, to break it up.
Calls the fight off.
There it is.
Jorge Mazadol struts across a hero's reception.
Everyone throwing roses into the Octagon.
It's an absolute scene.
He cuts the promo of all promos.
Now Kobe Covington title shot in doubt.
Why are they showing this parley if Curtis already lost?
That is a great question.
Wow.
That's a great question by Frank.
This is the best in the business.
I mean, this is unbelievable, man.
Wow.
I'm over here writing the story of a lifetime,
and we're asking about why are we showing?
People, uh, they throw an underdog parlay up on,
if you're not watching, they just threw an underdog parlay.
Unbelievable.
Up on the screen, and Chris Curtis at plus 110 was one of them.
I did see that.
I did see that.
It was just won.
But you just laid out a great scenario.
We get to the main event, Israel, out of Sonia, wins in round three.
There it is.
Well, it also be kind of hilarious.
is that Joe Rogan asked Jorge Mazat all about the title situation,
and then Dana White comes in and says,
no, you're not allowed to ask that.
It's about the fight.
It's about these two guys, okay?
Come on, guys.
What do you guys want to talk about?
Come on.
So because I said all that,
none of it's going to happen.
None of it's going to happen.
Yes.
I couldn't predict a fight to save my life in 2020.
I feel like a lot of things you said could happen.
I don't feel like what we're about to see is going to happen.
You're very, very confident, Ravel Rowe.
I think Rowe was going to run, just run him over.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Look, here's the thing.
The UFC matchmakers, they do a very, are they great at just developing talents as a whole?
They're very, they're solid.
But when they pinpoint certain talents that they want to push, they are as good as it gets
when it comes to putting the right matchups together.
Joe Pfeiffer.
We saw it earlier.
I feel like they want to push Joe Pfeiffer.
We all thought that fight could have been very competitive.
The matchmakers are like, Pfeiffer's going to kill him.
And he killed him.
And he killed him.
As a Gerald Mir Sharpe better, that is not a dog that fought for my money.
It was over and over quick.
Right.
And I feel like that's kind of how this fight's going to be.
Now, do I think it could get a little reckless and a little crazy at times?
Yes, that's why I'm picking Rose's second round submission.
I think he calms down a little bit.
But Rodriguez is a good scramblers, good grappler.
He's a fun fighter.
Just the weight miss kind of rubs me the wrong way.
And I actually thought this fight was going to be very, very competitive.
Um, all not competitive, at least fun for a while before roses got the job done.
But after the weight miss and everything, I was just like, eh, maybe I was wrong about that.
Okay.
Rouse can get him, but we'll see.
All right. We'll go ahead.
We'll see.
I got no action on this fight.
You've got no action on this fight.
We can just kind of, a gentleman's wager of nothing, bragging rights.
I like it.
Is it up, here we go.
I have to say, the Mexican color sombrero is just a plus.
I'm hoping we get that again here.
I wonder how Miami is going to take to this young man.
I think they're going to cheer for him pretty loud.
I think he's going to get a big pop.
It's hard to cheer against an 18-year-old.
Like, it's a cool story.
And he just, he has zero Fs to give.
He'll just, like, he just kills him.
Oh, he's 18 years old.
Yeah, he's 18 years old.
He was just talking all that greasingness.
I would have said some wild things
if you put a microphone in front of me when I was 18.
So we got Raoul Roses Jr. getting ready to take on Christian Rodriguez.
What is he favored at right now?
Is it in the twos or did it get in the twos?
Two's. Maybe it's closing in the ones, but he was in the twos for almost the entire week.
Wow, he's moved even more. Minus 25, Raul Rosas Jr.
Maybe the weight miss kind of took it over the edge. I don't know.
Yeah.
But let's see what this kid can do. This is definitely his toughest test.
I would say Christian's a good fighter. He's got to get the weight management issues under control, man.
It's not like this fight was on 10 days notice.
For sure.
One of the first fights that was booked for the card.
He has only 25.
So, got to get this together.
Because he fought JSP at 45 for his debut.
Correct.
Made way for his second fight.
That was a very tough matchup.
I know he lost.
Weeks, weeks, right?
Yeah.
Daringeke.
And then now he missed his way to get.
He missed his way for the contender series fight against Junior Cortez.
Got to get that underway.
Like, you got to get that stuff figured out.
It's just tough.
So let's see.
Let's see if you can get it done.
Frank, your official prediction for the,
young gun Raul Roses.
I don't think he's
going to make it.
You don't think he's going to make it?
I don't think he's going to make it.
Make it to the octagon?
Or make it to the
promise land? Make it to the end of the fight.
Oh. It's going to be a chaos.
Oh, Raul Roses is getting
K-Oed. That's what I'm feeling.
Wow. This is
something. I feel like Frank's
just back there, just leaned back.
He's got the hands behind his head
and he's just got his feet kicked up
and then we say something to him. He's just like,
drinking a Miami Vice back there.
Yeah, yeah.
You're the ones we're in sunglasses.
Yeah, he's not going to make it to the end.
Incredible.
Incredible stuff.
Yeah.
So I don't have like a ton of, like I have some trivia.
Okay.
I have a ton.
Some of it's just like, it's just a mixed bag of different things.
So I'll ask this question.
Frank,
Roses Jr. and Christian Rodriguez, which one of these fighters has their own Wikipedia page?
Rodriguez.
I want to say Rol Roses.
The correct answer is none of them.
Wow.
Neither of them have a wikis.
Hey, give me five minutes and ask again.
Get going.
Get going.
The gold standard of fighter profiles having a Wikipedia page.
I'm stunned Rall Roses.
I know.
Same here.
It might be like a legal thing.
18.
That's a consenting age to have a Wikipedia page.
Hmm.
I don't know.
That might actually be a pretty decent point.
There's definitely kids with Wikipedia pages.
All right.
Connor, I'll go to you here.
Jorge Mazadol has not fought in Miami since 2010,
where he faced current BKFC champion, Luis Palomino,
at G-Force Fight 3.
Did Mazadol win or lose that fight?
He won.
Frank?
He won, for sure.
This is kind of, kind of.
of the tale of Mazadol's career in a lot of ways
lost a splitty that a lot of people
thought he should have won.
That's what I thought we were going on.
How many split decision lost does he have on his record?
Something we need to look up, but he's got a bunch.
He's got a bunch on that record.
I mean, it really is.
It feels like he's got like five or six in the UFC alone.
Oh, yeah.
Let's see.
Splitty lost to Davey and Maya.
Only five throughout his career.
He had three, like four straight losses or splities.
Yeah.
At one point.
That's the same.
That's got to hurt.
That has got to hurt.
That's five in the UFC.
He lost a splitie to, yeah, the Palo Mino fight was a splitie, too.
Also, I don't know if anybody's pulled this in terms of, wow, at one point in 2005, he fought against Raphael Assumsoe?
Oh, yeah, the Jafel Sunsau, too, yeah.
Yeah, that's one goes to 135, one goes to 170.
That's wild.
They fought it lightweight.
Bad news for Gilbert, I mean for Jorge Betters.
He has fought one Gilbert in his career.
He is 0 and 1 against him.
That's okay.
Never beaten a Gilbert before.
Let's go.
There's the sombrero.
Mexican color sombrero.
Fantastic.
I hope he always does this.
It looks fantastic.
Mexican mouthpiece too.
I love it.
We'll ask one more and then we'll go to the tail here.
Frank,
which former UFC champion
headlines the last time the promotion
was in Miami at UFC 42.
Was it Tito Ortiz,
Matt Hughes, BJ Penn,
Rich Franklin, or Chuck Liddell?
That's Ortiz.
Rich Franklin.
Correct answer?
Matt Hughes.
Defeated Sean Shirk.
Rough go for us there, Frank.
It's all right.
Hey, listen, we got some more.
We got some more.
Some different kinds of trivia questions.
All right, then.
Here comes Raul Roses Jr.
His brother is in his corner.
I believe his brother just won a fight recently.
He's aspiring mixed martial arts himself.
I believe another undefeated fighter.
How old is his brother?
20.
This guy is the youngest fighter in UFC history.
He's going to be, yeah.
We have like a kind of a running joke about,
you can't call him Raul Roses Jr.
you have to call him 18-year-old Roe versus Jr.
That's the thing.
His brother is 20.
Man.
He's 20.
He's undefeated.
4-0.
4-0-4-4 finishes.
Well, one was kind of an illegal knee, DQ.
But 12-second knockout, first-round submission, then he fought.
March 31st, got a submission under 90 seconds.
Nice.
Another one coming up.
The tail of the...
the Roses brothers.
There's Raoul up. Let's go.
Speaking of tails, let's go to the tail of the tape for this first fight on the main card
in the Bannamweight Division.
There you are.
Not a ton of an experience difference here as far as professional martial arts goes.
Roll Roses undefeated.
Christian Rodriguez seven years older.
Two inches shorter.
He does have a four and a half inch reach advantage over Roses Jr.
Unfortunately, Rodriguez missed weight.
second attempt, 137 pounds, and 20% of his purse
goes to Raoul Roes Jr.
And Bruce Buffer's about to get everybody fired up
rocking the golden jacket.
The jacket is just a thing of beauty from Bruce here.
Outstanding.
Places packed.
Places packed.
Dana White said about $11.
Over an $11 million gate for this one.
Yeah, I saw it was over $11.5 when he mentioned that.
But that's kind of the problem of,
they didn't come back for so long is that
the other gate that they did
was just Garbo.
I mean, I know it was early on kind of
in the evolution of
the sport and the company, but...
I hope they keep going back to Miami if this is a success.
Yeah, I think so. I think that'd be
a great idea. I mean, the sport
has evolved so much out there, because even
like in Boka, you get,
you know, that's kind of where Gilbert lives
and a lot of those guys, so...
And Flores just kind of good central place for
a lot of the fighters who are in here, so.
Yeah, Miami. Great place
to travel to.
Of course.
A great place to, you know,
kind of a destination
UFC card thing.
Yes.
Christian looks very excited.
He looks happy to be there.
Big smile on his face.
And there's,
Rose is getting the heroes welcome here.
I'm telling you,
I feel like it's hard to cheer
against an 18-year-old.
Youngest fighter in UFC history.
He's got the monster patch.
He does.
I feel like that's,
like, yeah, you know,
I've had conspiracies about it,
feel like you've got to reach a certain level to be able to get the monster patch.
I guess he's reached that level early on too.
That's probably a good, uh...
Did I just see who I thought I just saw?
Who, who?
I think, uh, the former president is in the front row.
DT.
Donald Trump.
45 in the house.
You can't miss them.
I'm pretty.
I think he's there.
I think he's there.
Uh, did you see on embedded Jorge went to his speech?
All right.
What's up?
And there's Mike Tyson.
There he is!
There's the Trump!
There's the Donald in the house.
All the dignitaries have arrived.
Rost is shooting!
Look at him, 18 years old, fighting in front of a former president.
Roche just sprinted across the octagon going for a takedown.
And he's got the...
I thought he had doubles, doesn't.
Oh.
And he just swarms on Christian, trying to get him down.
Christian is a very good grappler.
He scrambles very well.
And now they battle against the cage.
Yeah.
Rodriguez, nice knees to the leg.
Rose is trying to get something going.
Frantic pace to start.
Yep.
Kind of what we expected.
Oh, Rose's got them up.
Wow.
Isn't that bad?
Yeah.
Very nice.
Look at that, man.
To stay up.
All right.
45 seconds in.
A bunch of grappling.
Very few strikes thrown.
But I feel like Rodriguez has done well so far.
I mean, how long did it take him to finish Jay Pairn?
A few minutes?
I mean, he's...
He's stuffing his right now.
Not as good as Rodriguez, but he's pretty good.
Oh, man.
Rosas...
Oh, man, he's going for this thing.
He's got the leg all the way up to his shoulder.
The right leg is at the...
Ooh, there it is.
He's got Rodriguez down.
Already inside control.
This is not good.
Not good for Christian Rodriguez.
So let's see what Roses does.
I mean, just was not going to stop.
No, I mean, they said it on the broadcast.
Desperate for that takedown.
He was desperate and he got it.
Uh-oh.
Is he going for a gilly?
Uh-oh.
Wow.
Richard Rodriguez.
Nice move.
Oh.
You know what?
Conor, maybe.
Roses not letting go to that chance.
Oh.
He's got the...
Oh.
He's trying to take the back.
He's got the back.
Oh, Kristen Rodriguez.
And Roses gets up.
And they're back up.
And right back to a takedown and attempt for roses.
This is some scrambles.
scrambling here, man.
I wonder how...
Rodriguez has got to be, like, so frustrated with this.
I mean, yes.
He's just got a kid, just throwing you around.
Just hanging on his back.
Grab the cage.
Just grab the fence, Christian.
Ain't going to call it.
What was that?
Oh, someone lost the mouthpiece.
I think that was Rosas.
Which one was that?
It was like a jumping punch to the face.
Yeah, I thought it was the Mexican flag mouthpiece.
Ooh.
Rosa got him down.
the no-nonsense Keith Peterson
waiting for the moment
to put the mouthpiece back in.
Yeah, it's kind of a tough position
to be like, hey, stop it.
You got his back.
Yeah, right, right, right.
You can't really do it.
This is just...
Failed to mention
both cut shorts.
Oh, oh, oh, Roses.
Both hooks in?
Oh, yeah, it looks like he's got it locked up.
Oh, man.
Let's see.
This is two minutes with him all in the back.
Body triangle.
This is a lot to ask for Christian Rodriguez here.
Oh, no.
He's trying.
Oh, man.
This might be it for Christian Rodriguez.
This might be it.
It's got it's like right at the chin.
I mean, either way.
He's got to survive another 95 seconds.
I mean.
Rodriguez gets the arm free.
What do we do here?
Scrap him on the fence, try and get him off.
Like, I mean, he's got it locked up.
He's got the body triangle.
Versus doesn't even look like he's taking any deep breath at all.
Now he's going to get him.
Oh, man.
Oh, man, this might be it.
Right across the face.
Oh, he fights the hands.
Ooh.
Oh, it looks like he's all right.
Oh, no.
That is tight.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
He's in trouble now.
I don't know.
This could be it.
He's got him down.
Oh, this is tight.
But Rodriguez is trying to defend it.
Oh, he's fighting the hands.
Look at Christian Rodriguez.
Wow.
It's out of it.
Chris.
He's got another 55 seconds to survive, though.
A dog.
What a freaking dog.
I mean.
All in all, very successful first round for Roe Russell.
Yes, over three minutes of control time and counting.
Still got 43 seconds to work.
Body triangle locked up.
Man, impressive stuff from Rodriguez to get out of that.
Very Sam Page Hughes-esque from earlier tonight.
Most impressive.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that was tough, Jacqueline Amram.
Yeah, she had it locked up.
Should that have been a draw, though?
I didn't watch it, but a lot of people thought it was like a clear 10-8 first-
I wouldn't say it was a clear 10-A, but...
No?
Looks like Christian Rodriguez is going to get out of this first round.
All right.
That was impressive, man.
That was impressive.
We're going to see about this gas team.
I prediction.
For Christian Rodriguez, because that had to have zapped him.
Yeah, my staff pick is still in play.
Rosa's second round sub.
Pretty clear here.
10-9-4-the-18-year-old, Raul Roses, Jr.
There it is.
Wow.
Pretty easy round to score.
Oh, very easy round to score.
Love him that happens.
Duke Grufus telling Christian Rodriguez,
hey, you knew this is coming.
You were prepared for it.
You knew you were going to have to survive a short warm.
Yeah, that was impressive stuff.
Imagine sitting in that front row right now.
You got Trump.
Mike Tyson's hanging out there.
Is Mike Tyson wearing his own shirt?
Yes.
I hope so.
I think I need to get another look at that,
but I think he's wearing a shirt that says Mike Tyson.
He better be.
I can't tell.
If there's anybody you can get away at that?
If we stop showing the fighters and can we just show Mike Tyson, please.
And his shirt.
It looks like a pretty cool graphic, too.
I actually, I'm getting a standing O right now.
I'm really just taking your word for it on Trump.
I haven't seen him yet.
Trump literally just stood up and waved to the crowd because they're all cheering for him.
That's what just happened.
Yeah, Mike Tyson is wearing a Mike Tyson shirt.
I love it.
Man, you know you've made it where you can wear a shirt that is of you.
Ooh.
So, if you take down intent from Rowe's.
our commentary on the first round.
Oh, oh.
Nothing to add.
Rose's charge, got a blake, but now Rodriguez
on top, all right.
Saw that coming.
Broadcast saying that
Christian Rodriguez can go arm triangle here.
Yep. Now he's got
side control. Now he's got the back.
Ooh.
All right, Rodriguez, making things
happen early on.
Just a couple right hands.
Oh, uh-oh. Oh, this gets up.
Oh, there we go. A little bit of striking.
Oh, man. The knee?
Did he land it?
I don't know if he did or not.
No, it looks like Roses are right.
Oh, good right here from Christian.
He's just, yeah, Roses just doesn't stop.
He doesn't stop.
What are the striking numbers in this?
I mean, have there been, like, any strikes thrown?
Rodriguez probably has, like, it's probably like 14 to 2.
Yes, it's like a strictly grappling match.
Scambles continue.
Is there any world where Rau Roses is getting tired?
I don't know.
It doesn't look like it.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
Does I nail it?
Raul Roses has landed two significant strikes
and Christian Rodriguez has landed seven.
Oh, okay.
Leading the striking numbers, Christian Rodriguez.
Almost tripled them up.
Tripled them up.
Over tripled, three and a half.
Almost quadrupled him up.
Oh, man.
Takes him down a little bit, but Rodriguez gets right back up.
Just hanging on his back, man.
That's going to be so annoying.
Oh, my gosh.
Can you imagine?
You just can't get him off.
He's just sticking to you like glue.
Let's see.
just hanging onto his back,
pulling him backwards.
Oh, going for the legs there.
Grab the fence, Christian.
I'm telling you.
Keith's been allowing a lot of nonsense.
No nonsense, Keith Peterson.
You're cool for a couple fence grabs, though.
Yeah, a couple.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Oh, turn it.
Interesting.
Rodriguez gets on top of this.
I get on.
Wow.
Wow, this is good for Rodriguez.
All right.
I mean, Raoul just does not stop moving.
Oh, oh.
Oh.
Oh, all right.
This isn't comfortable, Raoul.
This is not comfortable for our old.
North-South position.
Side control for Christian Rodriguez.
I'd really like to see Christian Rodriguez trying to inflict some damage here.
Crucifix time?
Oh, wow.
I mean, that's serious damage if he can get that.
Yeah, there we go.
He's going for the bows now.
All right, short elbow for Christian.
All right, some tide turning here a little bit.
Those for the back.
Roses just does not stop moving, man.
Roche is just so much in a house.
He just doesn't accept any position.
Christian Rodriguez doing a great job right now.
Being very patient.
Oh, nice elbow to the body.
He needs to keep it good than that.
I'm with you, Frank.
Frank, did you step out in the hallway during round one?
I don't have to confirm.
I'm not going to lie.
Kind of freaked me out a little bit.
I saw it.
What are you doing looking out the door?
Focus on the front.
The light hit you?
And I was like, who is that out there?
It's the shades.
You see the shadows a little bit.
I thought it was Mike Tyson.
Martin of Mike Tyson.
And he sure was.
He sure was.
There you go.
Rodriguez still on top.
Yeah, I mean, this is a great round
for Christian Rodriguez so far.
Oh, he's trying to lock it up.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Roses just gets out of every position.
He really does.
Just get out of everything.
Oh, man.
Got his back again.
Oh.
Just get it out of the chin.
Does he have the body triangle locked up?
He does.
All right.
Now he's got a minute 14 to work.
This is crazy.
Let the man cook, Frank.
Got to do.
Got to do something here, Christian.
Rose is moving trying to scramble out, but Rodriguez remains on top.
Oh, man, he's trying.
Right hands?
This is big moments for Christian Rodriguez.
Oh, my gosh.
Does he have something?
No, not yet, not yet.
He's trying to work it.
40 seconds left to make something happen.
Rose is defending.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
It's so good.
He's got to get that.
He's got to get that hand, man.
I wonder how much this is taking out of it.
This third round is going to be really.
Yeah, I mean, this is as clear of a 19-19 as we can get if it makes it to the third round.
Which I love.
The 18-year-old, then a 1-1 fight on a pay-per-view main card.
Wow.
Incredible stuff.
It looks like he's going to survive to this round three.
We got the club.
Huge round for Christian Rodriguez, man.
man. Way to fight.
It was like literally exactly. He just did the same thing back to him.
Yes. Yes.
All right. 1919.
Shout out to Anthony Pettis.
1919.
Crod. 10-9. No doubt. No question about it.
1919, folks.
Who saw this coming?
18 years old, man. One-one fight.
Undefeated record on the line.
What's up, Frank?
He said who saw this come?
coming. Well, Connor, it's kind of a saw it coming.
I mean, no big deal, whatever.
Let's check on the live line here, via Draft King's Sportsbook.
Christian Rodriguez minus 320.
Wow, really?
Yes. Raul Roses, plus 250.
Wow. Holy cow.
Should have nutted up and bet on Christian Rodriguez.
Geez, Louise.
What I say, Frank, the dogs that I pick will lose, the dog that I don't want.
Something like that.
I'm up.
These sunglasses are fitting.
Three blind mice.
That's what I'm doing, throwing out this year.
I got nothing going for me.
Sterling Sehudo coming up.
I can't wait for that one.
Oh, it's going to be fantastic.
Just over the way, just across the river in beautiful Newark, New Jersey.
That's what they said.
They say 18-year-old Raoul Roses Jr.,
they say beautiful Newark, New Jersey.
Ooh, nice left hand from Raoul.
All right.
Set that in sync.
Jigs.
Find me a cold.
Yeah, no talking.
Israel out of Sonia energy drink before the main of that.
Oh, spinning back to this, but Rodriguez catches him.
Okay.
I mean, I'm loving this.
This is good stuff.
This is good theater.
Yes, yes.
Wait, theater.
They're both just trying to figure the other out at this point.
Oh, nice.
I think Christian Rodriguez is going to welcome a stand-up fight all day.
Momentumption to shift.
I think he's going to have a huge, huge advantage here on the feet.
Oh, we shoot.
Nice sprawl, though.
Nice sprawl.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Just can't get him off.
Rosa's hanging on to that single.
Uh-oh.
Oh, nice.
Wow.
Rodriguez defense.
For Christian Rodriguez.
All right.
We're seeing Raoul Rosa's back against the wall now.
Let's see what he could do.
Ooh, another nice sprawl, dude.
It's so easy to see it coming.
I think he's getting more tired.
I think he's telegraphing him more.
and Christian Rodriguez is picking up on him now.
Roses at the left hand.
Wow, 12-15 on takedown defense.
Rodriguez doing a nice job.
Not bad.
Ooh.
An ankle pick.
Rodriguez takes the back.
Oh, yeah.
Raoul Rosa seems to be getting tired.
Oh, man, nice shots with the left hand from Christian Rodriguez.
Now Christian Rodriguez seems to be doing the ragdollum.
Oh, wow.
This is big.
Get that triangle in.
Look at that, man.
Look at that.
Rodriguez. But Raul just doesn't stop moving.
Look at C-Rod.
Oh, man. This could be it.
He's got him flattened out.
Yeah. Land and shots. Oh, man. Oh, man.
Oh, man. Look at Christian Rodriguez.
Look at Christian Rodriguez. This might be the end for Raul Roses.
Let's see. Raoul just hanging on.
Hang on, dude. Hanging on.
I mean, either way, this is watch the shots to the back of the head.
that Christian.
I mean, either way, this is a huge
round for Christian Rodriguez.
I don't know. He's trying to go back to the choke.
I don't know if I like that idea.
He was doing it so well. He's got two and a half minutes, you know.
Try a little bit of everything.
I like this. Work the body. Just pepper the body and see if the choke
opens up for you.
You're just landing a bunch of unanswered punches.
Like, Browell wasn't doing anything.
Yeah, yeah. I felt a stoppage was very live there.
55 to 5 in total strikes.
Oh, man.
He's getting close on that choke, man.
Two minutes to go, let's see.
Oh, good elbow.
Elbow straight to the cheek.
Oh, look at that.
Christian Rodriguez minus 2,100.
I mean, this is an...
It'd be almost impossible for him to blow this round there.
Wow, you just put it out in the universe, just like your...
I just threw it out there.
Oh, he's got under the chin.
Tough chin to get under.
He's got a big chin.
He's got a big chin.
Tough to get under.
Facts.
I mean, everyone saw the side profile on Embedded.
Big Chen, tough to get under it.
This is crazy.
To some.
If he just made the weight, man.
If he just made the weight.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I thought he had it for a second.
Oh, no, it's there.
It looks like he has it.
No, he could have gotten it.
That shin just miggle this way out.
Tough to get under.
He's trying to finger to.
It's tough to get under.
Oh.
This is dominance from Christian Rodriguez.
Christian Rodriguez has to be completely comfortable with accepting this final 60 seconds in the fight is his.
You can just stay like this and he wins.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, he can just chill for the last minute here.
Wow.
Miami's crowd is silent right now.
They're quiet.
They're not hyped up.
Not believing this.
Booing.
They're booing the men about to pull off the upset as a plus 220 dog.
Just short elbows from Rodriguez.
Oh, good right hand.
This is...
Yeah, dominant round from Christian Roder.
Oh, yeah, no doubt.
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
Up on the back on the feet for a little bit,
15 seconds to go.
Rosa got 15 seconds to do it.
Ooh.
I don't know if he's got anything here.
Yeah, he's going to have to
throw some sort of crazy drop kick.
Wow.
At the hands of defeat for the first time,
Raul Roses Jr.
And there it is.
Wow.
Christian?
You put it out there, the card of cards.
Uh.
The upset, and I think you've, uh...
Two for two so far.
Kelvin Gasoline gives us the barn burner.
Yeah.
Christian Rodriguez pulls off the upset.
So now we got Kevin Hollen's on top.
We're putting it out into the universe.
Kevin Holland by K.O. next.
Oh.
Kevin Holland by K.O. next.
Good win for Christian.
Just mired with a little bit of weight management issues, but it is what it is.
Man, I mean, and Raoul,
Ross, Christian Rodriguez
had to survive that last
two minutes of Raoul Roses being on his back in the first round.
Wow, that knee did land and it landed nicely.
And then just took over those last two rounds, man.
That was...
I love those elbows to the body.
Nice fight by Christian Rodriguez.
Now, I said
Rodriguez would win, right?
You said knockout.
You said...
All right.
You said, well, actually, you didn't even say Christian Rodriguez,
but when you just said, you didn't think...
It was implied.
You didn't say Raurros was going to make it.
All right.
He did make it.
Wow.
Yeah.
Well, let's see if the judges get it right.
You never know.
Come on.
Come on, bro.
It's Florida.
If it gives us to Rao Roses Jr.
That would be one of the biggest robberies I've witnessed in real time.
It's Florida.
There's no way.
But yeah.
29, 28, all three score cards.
It's just that easy.
Corristen Rodriguez.
Here we go.
Monster can.
29, 28.
Yeah, easy.
Chris Rodriguez.
Kind of have little faith in the judges.
Raoul!
Oh, do you imagine that?
Oh, wow.
Shout out to Chrissy Rodriguez.
Huge win.
Cash is a big underdog.
Post-225 is where he closed that.
Big time.
What was to Rodriguez by decision?
I feel like that was like the best thing to make.
I bet that was even bigger.
Shout out, man.
What a way to bounce back after that first round?
That was incredible stuff.
Shout out the Anthony.
Petis.
Yeah.
All right, so...
Shout out to Anthony Pettis.
I've said it like 19 times.
Got to show love to my guy.
Shotan.
Apologized for being...
Immediately apologizing for being overweight.
You got to fix that, man.
Yes.
You got to fix that.
Of course.
The momentum for this win...
That scale wasn't calibrated.
Well, it was calibrated for everyone else, Frank.
I mean, you know,
it's not the first time we've had scale issues.
Any explanation?
Mark Goddow was at the scale,
then we'd have no issue.
I see where you're coming from.
He wants to fight international fight week.
All right.
So one down.
One down.
Chat bet coming up.
Where to go, chat bet.
I'm feeling good about it.
Chat back coming up.
We do have special guests joining us a little bit later.
Jedmishu will join us for the co-main events between Gilbert Burns and Jorge Amazadal and New York Rick.
We'll join us for the main event between Alex Berger.
Maybe we'll even head straight to the arena.
Maybe we'll be joined by a special guest live from the arena.
Really?
Miami-Dade County Arena.
It has a new name.
Do we know what it is?
Man, it's on the cage.
Just give me a little circular.
There is.
There's Serge.
That's Serge.
Sergio, sorry.
Glasses, you know.
Yeah, Anthony is twice the size.
I had to fight Roy Jones Jr., you know?
Yes.
Did you watch that fight?
No.
You didn't watch it?
You know, watch the Game Bar Bakken card?
No, I was busy.
Shout out to him.
He passed up.
Wow, I just saw it.
It's just like the...
Not gonna lie here.
These white pants aren't the most comfortable.
You can see me squarming over here.
There's Vitor Belfort.
Every episode.
Every episode.
Beard boxing.
Listen, you know.
There he is.
That is Kid Rock.
Sin next to Kid Rock.
Unbelievable.
Wow.
Imagine sitting like right around that crew of people.
She's so ridiculous.
The stories will be able to tell.
Yes.
Yes.
It is.
Yeah.
Donald Trump.
Kid Rock and Mike Tyson wearing a Mike Tyson T-shirt.
Shout out.
Unbelievable.
Ridiculous.
That's what you get in Miami.
That's what you get in Miami.
It's amazing.
Kevin Hong.
He was in New York earlier this week.
What's that?
He said he was in New York earlier this week.
He sure was.
Shout out.
Shout on Anthony Pettis.
Shout out to Anthony Pettis.
Shout out to Christian Rodriguez, man.
Big Dump.
Big Dump for C. Ron.
Oh, man.
That's it done.
I'm ready to cash this chat, but I don't know about you.
Oh, it's going to happen.
Oh.
Are we getting another Hall of Fame induction?
We're getting at every card.
Kimbo?
Oh, it's a fight.
Oh.
Come on.
2015?
Oh, it's not going to be...
Oh.
Oh, yeah, they're doing Robbie Lawler.
Roy McDonald.
I felt like there was some talk about that this week,
not about getting inducted in the Hall of Fame.
Well, we've been talking...
We've been talking about it for like the last couple of weeks.
It's either the fight they were going to nominate was either this fight, which is a good one.
But to me, I'm on Jed's side.
As good as this fight was because it had moments and especially like the fourth round where they stared down all bloody and battered each other.
Lollah Condit is a better fight.
Okay.
It's a better fight.
Like start to finish, it's a better fight.
I think the optics to help this fight a lot.
This is a great.
I mean, this is...
I mean, like the Roy McDonald like.
Like the look is like iconic.
Oh, yeah.
But him and Condit is one of my favorite fights ever.
But this is a good one.
This event as a whole was just absolutely insane.
I mean, we're getting, it feels like every pay-per-view card,
we're getting a Hall of Fame announcement.
Yeah, I don't know what else is left.
I mean, there's the award, the Mask Award or whatever it is for the charitable giving
that Dustin Pori got last year.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They'll probably wait on that.
We'll probably get it the next baby.
But this fight was...
This fight was something.
Fantastic.
Shout to Robbie Lawler.
Shout to Roy McDonald.
And Anthony Pattis.
Can't forget.
Showtime.
Oh, they got Joe Silva talking head.
How about that?
Oh, yeah.
It's...
Yeah, I mean...
It's this one right here.
That moment right there is why this fight is so...
I mean, the whole fight is...
Look at how bloody they are, dude, yeah.
This is crazy.
Robillola's lip is just gone.
Fifth round Robbie.
This is mythical creature.
Fifth round Robbie.
And that's how,
and he did the same thing to conned it.
Man, bro, Roy McDonald looks like a literal zombie.
Yeah.
That fight probably...
If he walked up to me in the streets,
like, I would be incredibly concerned.
Yeah.
His note, like, I've never seen a nose
so badly battered.
That's one of those ones
where it's just, like,
waking up the next morning for Roy McDonald
just had to have been just like, oh,
for both of.
I mean, look at that lip, that gash, man.
And then you got Connor McGregor Chad Mendez after that.
Like, that was in the end of the night.
That was the co-made event.
Laller's lip was just, like, ripped open.
Let's hope we get that tonight with Jorge Mazzboe.
Oh, there we go.
There's Robbie Lawler.
Gilbert Burns.
Full lip.
Oh, just a great fight.
If you want the lip, we can get the lip.
Look at him.
I'm getting some love.
Like the button down.
You know, Robbie absolutely hates this moment.
Yeah, it's like a little bit of a mechanic look.
I like it.
The button down, blue collar looks good.
Because it's a blue collar shirt.
Yeah.
Well, it's a literal blue collar shirt.
Oh, look, D.C. blue collar.
Yeah.
John Anick.
A good guy.
John Aneck's great.
Tremendous.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
What is that blue with a gray accent?
Fantastic stuff from Johnny.
Yeah.
The gold.
It might be gold.
You got to love the Joe Rogan with the Levernergy
right next to the coffee.
And he just threw the IFB out.
And a knife with the Starbucks label all over.
Is that a pocket knife?
It's a pocket knife.
Joe Rogan has a pocket knife with a Starbucks coffee
right next to an energy drink.
No, that's a knife.
And then he's got the headphones on
and the IFB is just thrown out.
Like, the IFB is just gone.
There's no point.
Whoever, Frank, I can't hear you right now because my IFB's out.
Now it's back in.
As an audio person, do you take offense to that?
He was also wearing headphones.
Oh, okay.
So you think you can hear him through that?
Yeah.
Okay.
Wow.
IFB's a little itchy tonight, Frank.
You should probably be a clean ears.
Okay, so clean the IFB.
It's not clean the IFB.
We don't need to clean the IFB.
It's a brand new one.
Brand new one.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
It's a great fight.
I mean, it is a good fight.
Any chance the monster is sponsored?
No, because it's open.
You think it's real?
No, it's opened, yeah, it's real.
No, I meant like, is it just like an empty can?
I don't think so.
I don't think so, because I feel like there'd be a third one for Johnny N.
Soon it will be.
It might be.
Maybe John just has this hidden.
The pocket knife is crazy.
Does anyone know the story behind that?
There's not even a pocket knife.
That's like a dagger.
That's a sizable knife.
I would love the story behind that.
You can see the blade
Consider that man as a knife in front of him
And look at his eyes
At very first I was like what is that
Like a ridge wallet or something
Now like it's undeniably a knife
Just sitting on the table
And I can't think of any reason why he would need it
It's Miami man
Shout out
I mean that's
Miami
It's just what you get
Hall of Fame
Are we gonna be there Frank
International Fight Week?
You have C-290?
I got my tickets
No I'm being dead serious
Are we actually going to be there?
Because I will be in Las Vegas for International Flight Week.
You will be?
Oh, yeah.
Interesting.
Whether as a fan or as a worker, I will be there.
That's been known for about a year.
I went last year.
I need you to come into the office.
You don't mind.
Could you just come into the studio on that day?
Yeah.
Could you just like come in?
I will be there.
Yeah, I was.
Go to the Hall of Fame.
Go to the X, the Conchews.
invention thing.
Yep.
Say what's up
to some fighters.
It's a good time,
man.
Bullside in Vegas.
I've never been to a
UFC pay-per-view event,
so if we don't do a
watch party for some reason...
Well, you know we're going to do a watch party.
We're going to do a watch party.
We're going to do one.
So I would like to go out there as well.
My game plan would be,
and maybe you'll have to do the same one,
I don't know.
Go out Tuesday,
take a red-eye Friday,
Friday night,
Vegas time,
come here land first thing in the morning
Saturday, catch some Zs and do the watch party.
Oh, wow.
It's another idea.
But no guarantees of this happens,
but this is how I...
I think a watch party could happen
or we could do it in Las Vegas.
I mean, look, if that can happen,
then that would be glorious.
Maybe some roots planted.
Ooh.
Oh, cheese?
We shouldn't be talking about this.
We shouldn't be talking about this?
We shouldn't be talking about.
You know the wrong people are listening right now.
I'm going to put the shades back on.
What I'm going to do?
Yeah, we have to stop my mouth from blabin.
I'm just support the brand, support the company.
All right.
Pop open a prime.
Oh, I haven't, I have not had the actual.
The one is punching air right now.
He is not happy with us.
I have not had the hydration drink yet.
I've only drank the energy drink.
You should try the metamoon.
Is it the metamoon?
The metamon flavor.
Frank pushes the worst flavors on everyone.
Classic Frank.
Let me try this one.
This is tropical punch.
I mean, the ice pops.
Might do it in two gulps.
Maddie boy.
I feel hydrated.
Ice pop's great.
I bet it tastes the way it sounds.
I just don't know how you guys drink those warm.
It's not bad.
It's room 10.
Come on, Frank.
I'll send the Venmo over to Howani, don't worry.
I got us covered.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Does he drink?
Does Helwani drink the energy drinks, too?
Yeah, he drinks it all.
He guards it like a hound.
I actually, there it is.
Yeah, I actually just got the.
My request on my phone.
I'll fulfill it.
Don't even worry about it.
I got it.
It's all good.
Paying for them.
The guy essentially runs a bodega back there.
It's great.
It's convenient.
It's convenient.
It's a bodega.
You have to take a shoes off to get into.
Yes.
Yeah.
On the carpet.
Here comes Santiago Ponsonibio.
Ponsi.
Ponsie.
Making the walk.
Not going to lie.
Writing with the chat, so it's not going to lose.
Kevin Holland.
KOTKO plus 150.
Shout out to the chat.
All right.
Wouldn't be shocked if
Santiago pulled this off.
As a man who has backed Kevin Holland
on numerous occasions,
head of tonight's UFC 287,
one better put $20,000 on this parlay.
Ponsonibio most takedowns,
Kevin Holland most knockdowns,
potential payout $210,000.
Wow.
Oof.
What are you doing putting $20,000 on that?
making $210,000?
I don't know, man.
So let me ask you this.
If Ponzi gets like,
if Ponzi lands like three takedonsons in the fight
and Holland doesn't knock him down at all
and there's no knockdowns either way.
My assumption would be if there's no knockdowns,
it would be a push
unless it's most knockdowns
and he didn't get the most knockdowns,
then he lose.
I would need to see the slip to be able to like confirm it.
but my assumption would be it would be a push but I don't know most knockdowns if you don't get one knockdown I like the concept of the bet 20,000 is just just seems outrageous yeah whenever I see something like that though you have to know that like the person is probably disgustingly rich Drake so it doesn't even matter yeah Drake's riding with Jorge tonight didn't you put like 300,000 dollars on yeah I don't know if those tickets are real though you don't think they're real I don't I don't I don't I don't
I don't know.
There's like steak,
he's clearly like a steak partner or something.
I mean,
he's also got enough money.
He owns a jumbo jet.
He's got enough money to bet that.
So I also want to be surprised at the real.
Did you see I,
I think it was Brandon Marshall,
was talking to Izzy,
did an interview with him with $100,000 cash.
And Izzy was like, yep, put it down on me.
And he was like, all right, I'm going to go put it down.
100,000 cash.
Yeah.
Marshall's like here.
I have $100,000 here.
Should I put it on you?
Yes, and like Izzy like blessed it and was like I'd put my whole life on it
This is my whole life
Didn't Brand do that with Mazadol the last time and then all be just 50-44?
Yikes
I hope not
Here comes Kevin Holland
Here's what I know what's going to happen with Kevin Holland getting into the octagon
We're in for a fun fight
I hope so
No matter what happens I think we're in for a fun fight
It's getting windy back in the trees seem to be
Yes
I mean we are in Miami
Yeah, hurricane season.
The hurricane season was over.
All right, ready for a trivia question, Frank?
Let's do it.
When Israel Adasania steps into the Octagon, he will do so in a UFC main event for the blank time.
The sixth time?
Fourth.
Eighth time, tenth time, or eleventh time?
10th, eighth.
Correct answer.
Tenth.
It is the 10th.
Thank you.
The 10th.
Ninth straight, ninth straight main event.
Great call, great call.
Ridgel Osad, yeah.
How long did you take you to scroll Wikipedia back there, Frank?
Hand is in my hoodie pocket.
Oh, well.
True or false, the number of fighters on the card coming off of a loss
is in double digits.
False.
True.
You tied it up, G.
It is true.
Ten fighters entered UFC 27 coming off of a loss.
Including this man.
Yes, Kevin Holland.
gauge. Let's go to the tail of the tape for this welterweight bouts.
Wow, Kevin Holland, a win by KOTKO according to the broadcast, plus 175.
I took it a plus 150.
Oh, must have jack that price up a little bit.
Monster.
There we go.
Monster reach advantage for 23 and 9, Kevin Hall.
Yeah, eight inches.
And three inches taller for Kevin Holland, Pons and a B.O.
Six years, the veteran in this place called Life.
Let's see how we can get it on.
Kevin Holland closes as a minus 240 favorite
the comeback on Santiago Ponzoidio plus 200.
Kevin Holland trying to get the...
I mean, Santiago Ponziadinovian,
trying to keep the magic alive
from the World Cup win for Argentina.
That's very true.
He might be the happiest person in the world.
He was hyped up.
Offered to fight Canelo.
Oh, yeah.
Canelo threatened Messi.
Panzaubio.
corner. Did you see Bilal Mohammed shirt today? I did, yeah, yeah. I like it. You know,
dive into the troll job, I guess. He did that, um, International Fight Week last year. It was at the
Hall of Fame red carpet and Bilal was wearing a, like, a Hamzat, like a Balal-Maham
versus Hamzot shirt. It's great. He's very good at that stuff. The Bruce Buffer being that
much bigger than Ponzi Noviot kind of threw me off. Buffman is, like, he's pretty big.
He's, he's felt.
I was not expecting that.
My mind had a hard time comprehending that.
Yeah, he's jacked, man.
Buff's got some size on him.
Look at the size of that Q card.
Yes.
Yeah.
Are you the one that hates the Q cards, Frank?
It's actually a significant other.
She's convinced that he'll go like,
The U.S.
Looks at a card.
C.
I mean, come on.
A lot of pressure.
A lot of pressure.
Come on, Dan.
Look at that.
He's got the gloves on.
Murgliata, one of Frankie's favorites.
Merg's doing the main event, too.
Am I tripping?
Does it feel like it took us a long time to get here?
An hour to get the fight, too?
That seems slower than usual.
Yeah.
We're on Miami time, I guess, right?
Yeah.
We're moving slow.
I don't think anyone saw the first fight going on this.
Thought on the monster energy giant can in the middle.
I mean, it's everywhere.
It needs it like a drop shadow.
It looks weird.
Okay, all right, I like that.
Let's get into the graphic design aspect.
I like that.
We've seen a picture of Joe Rogan.
There's a pocket knife right next to it.
A lot of shit on the octagon, man, on that canvas.
It's everywhere.
When do we get the big of...
You could spend $1,000 and get your name on it?
When are we getting that?
Just put the watch party logo on there?
Oh, now we're talking.
That'd be sick.
All right.
Oh, Kevin Oliver, nice left hand.
The size difference is apparent now that we're looking at it.
Kevin's a stacker.
Yeah, he is much bigger than him.
He should be able to use the range here.
This is like Sterling Dilleshaw-esque.
Ponsinibio dropped twice against Alex Marono.
That was a, yeah, that was a good fight.
Oh yeah, great fight.
Short notice, Alex Marano, great white.
That Morono.
Hopefully we get an Alex Marono Shark Week fight this year.
Otto win.
Marono's still mad about that stoppage, by the way.
Yeah, I don't know.
He was not happy about it.
He's got a fight coming up.
It feels like Kevin Holland could be right.
but like needs a win here.
Oh yeah.
Feels like he needs a win here.
I mean, maybe, I don't know, it depends.
As long as he's competitive, like,
if Mazadol loses and Holland loses or wins, it doesn't matter.
You can still move out of that fight.
These leg kicks are working pretty well for Ponziabio here.
It's a smart game plan.
That's how you get him to stop bouncing around,
or at least slow down the movement a little bit.
Oh, that was a nasty little stepback elbow.
Ross elbow there.
From Kevin Holland.
That was nice.
Oh, nice left hand.
That's a slip.
Okay, slip, slip, good call.
You and Joe Rogan right on the same wavelength.
Good call, Frank.
Big Dan, did Big Dan call it a slip?
Do you text you that, Frank?
Yes.
Slip.
Frank's a big, big,
Mark Goddard and Big Dan, right?
Those are the two?
And her.
He's just the big,
rough guy.
He's just a big rough guy.
Not a big fan of Keith Peterson, though.
Yeah, Keith, yeah
Just not enough nonsense from Keith
Ooh
I like Ponzi's doing good with the body stuff
Holland's landing up top
Holland's been able to use the range so far
Two nice left hands
Step in head kick blocked from Ponzi
Yeah, that was nice by Ponzi
Holland's a little more patient this time around
That's kind of like it feels like he knows
He needs this win
Like I feel like normally it goes out
Like trying to have like fun fights exciting fights
feels like he's really fighting serious here.
Maybe he always is.
He would take offense to me saying that,
but it does feel like he's more patient than normal.
Yeah.
He got the, I mean, he got the boots put to him by Wonderboy.
Oh, yeah, bro.
That was an unreal performance by Stephen Thompson.
It's a really good matchup.
Both guys trade kicks.
Pretty close first round here.
Yeah, it's, it depends on what these judges are looking at.
Do they, a lot of times the leg kicks and the kicks of the body don't get enough love and the body work.
That left hand is working right now for Kevin.
90 seconds to go.
Usually when Holland fights were talking a lot more.
Yeah, anybody's around?
I'd say I favor Kevin Holland right now, though.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Ooh.
Oh, Ponzi coming in.
Nice.
There's forward pressure there.
Kevin Holland's talking now.
What's he saying?
That smack.
I smell it.
What is he talking about?
I don't know.
Oh.
Oh.
Nice right hand from Ponzi.
Oh my gosh.
All right, they're starting to trade a little bit more now.
Crazies thing about Kevin Hall, man.
Tough as nails, dude.
I mean, like to even end the fight,
it's even Warner Boy Thompson.
Like you said, I had to put the boots to him, man.
Yeah, Holland.
He does not go out easy.
Both these guys.
I mean, Holland's very, very durable.
Ponzi can be.
Yeah.
We've seen him put out a couple of hours.
Oh, nice combination from Ponzi.
Good leg kick.
This, dude, this is a tough round to score, man.
This is a tough round to score.
I wonder what the chat's thinking right now.
Thus far.
Nice to come's up from Kevin Holland.
I feel like you got to get it one or two of those a fight.
The hand seems okay.
It doesn't look like he's timid.
Uh-oh.
Oh!
What?
What?
No way!
That is!
No way!
Save by the bell, Ponzi and Nibio!
Holding
What?
That was unbelievable.
Holding Kevin Holland's leg up,
Kevin Holland gets the back fist
and seemed to drop on Zanibio.
He heard him.
Wow.
A little bit longer.
That might be the fight.
We're cash in the chat bet.
I mean, that's easy for me.
Trailblaze two top gets it done there.
10-9 Holland for me.
10-9 Holland.
Bang.
The last time Kevin Holland fought,
the World Cup was going on,
speaking of Argentina and pride, everything.
Yeah.
Rainer to Ritter fought in one FC,
and the USA played the Netherlands.
So it was the Dutch night, right?
Yeah.
Kevin Holland,
and USA playing the Netherlands all, you know,
related to the country.
I bet on USA, lost.
I bet on Kevin Holland lost.
And I bet on Rainer to Ritter, lost.
All three, I mean, the Netherlands,
it was my worst enemy that week.
Oh, man.
RDR.
Wow.
Yo, my gosh, he looks so terrible in that out of it.
All right.
That was wild.
Yes.
What an end around one?
I wonder if Kevin Holland's going to put the pressure on now.
I think he might.
I think he might here.
It's moving forward a little more.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone get dropped like that.
Yeah, that was...
That was crazy.
If anyone can do it, it's Nico Price and Kevin Holland.
Those are like the two guys who can knock you down from the weirdest positions.
Ponzi still looks a little foggy-eyed.
Kevin Holland fainting the takedowns?
I love that.
It's just like, dude, you're probably not going to go for those.
Wow, striking numbers, big differential there.
Wow, he threw 75 strikes on it.
Nice, nice kick there.
Oh, my goodness.
Kevin Holland misses twice the left.
That elbow is so nice. The little inside elbow from Kevin Holland is a thing.
You talk about loading up, bro.
He threw everything he had and missed twice there.
That would have...
Just hand Ponzi your leg, your foot.
Yeah, that's the way.
Let him carry you around and then just back fist them.
Oh, nice leg kick from Ponzi.
Oh, man.
I think if Holland is looking for a home for that.
If Holland goes left hook right uppercut, I think he's...
I think he lands.
He's going for the uppercut now.
Because he keeps docking underneath the hooks.
Oh, good leg kick.
Oh, I like that little kick up top from Kevin Holland.
Another leg kick from Holland.
I mean, he stays active, bro.
He stays putting him out there.
Let's see.
If Ponzi nobio can try to turn the tide here.
What an end to that first round, man, for Holland.
Stamped it, dude.
That was huge.
Holland had a great star.
It looked like Ponzi was closing the gap.
Yeah, it looked like Ponzi was coming on there.
at the end.
Oh, that elbow is so nice.
It's so short, too.
Nasty Lake Lake here.
Ponsie.
Ponson, Nibu is still finding.
Ponsi's throwing, all right,
Ponzi is throwing some heat back up top.
Oh, looks like, oh.
Ponzi's going for the home run swing now.
He's chopping at those legs, too.
Dean Thomas, we're in agreement with him.
He's got to do something with that calf kick.
Kind of like, we're kind of back to that, you know,
technical fight.
Now he's starting to talk.
a little bit. All right, that's what we...
It's like, you gotta get like two or three minutes into the round and then he starts talking.
He starts...
Oh man, he's going over that uppercut.
He threw that uppercut from the other side of the kids.
Yeah, yeah.
Telegraphed just a touch.
Yep. He just needed to speak to him a little bit.
Like kick-checked from Ponzi.
Another tough round to score, man.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is not where Ponzi did you imagine me got dropped twice from right?
Oh, that'd be nuts.
Oh, a high five, all right.
Like, you learned your lesson.
Yeah.
Ponzi chucking him
Kevin Holland has unloaded
with that left like three or four times
this round has missed each time
but man
if it lands
it's not going to be good news for Santiago
oh they both traded jabs there
oh nasty light kick from Ponzi Nibio
Holland nice right hand
kicked to the body from Holland
that was like a hammer face
on top of Kevin Lowe
oh oh big right hand another right hand
Look at it go
Ponziinovio
Ponsi locked him up
Yeah it clenches up against the cage
Let's see what Kevin can do here
Good news
There we go nice separation
45 seconds to work
Ponzi looks mostly recovered
Yeah bouncing around
I think he's got this
All right
Okay all right going against the chat
That's cool Frank
Frank Frank what was your parley palpick
Oh Kevin Holland
Good call yeah
Kevin Holland oh I didn't
How do you know that?
That's a gutsy pick, Frank.
I got to tell you.
It's the best pick.
It's the best pick.
It was a fun one.
That's a sweaty one, as you could probably feel right.
Not that it matters.
Oh, wow.
Wow, look at it.
Kevin Holland, another.
Thumbs up.
Get a couple of those each round.
I don't know.
I'd probably go Kevin Holland again.
I'll go.
Close round, man.
I'll go 2018, not 100% sold on it.
Could be 1919.
close, close second round.
I had an eraser, I don't know.
I'm just going to stick with it.
I'm just going to stick with it.
I come and deared the eraser there.
I'll go with 10-9 Holland for both of us.
I'm not very confident in that score.
But I think if we're talking damage here,
I think Holland's stuff landed a little bit.
Let's take a bit.
A little more, if that makes sense.
Let's take a peek and see what the live odds are out.
5.50 for Kevin Holland?
Do my guess?
You said what?
I'm going to say minus 550 for Holland.
Minus 750 for Holland.
They firmly believe he is up two rounds to none here.
Okay.
Final round, let's see.
We need a finish from Kevin Holland.
Max Holloway, Arnold Allen next week in Kansas City.
You're excited for that?
I am.
I can't wait.
It's actually a good card, man.
I wasn't like overly thrilled.
with the booking, just because I just felt like Arnold Allen should have fought somebody else.
Okay, yeah.
It's going to be a fun round.
Like that's in Kansas City.
Love the post.
Kansas is a weird place to have it.
Love the matchup.
I love the fight.
I just don't want to live in a world where Max Holloway is the number one contender at 145 anymore.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And I'm trying to, like, dive into it and find ways Arnold can win this fight.
And I think he can.
Don't doubt double that.
All right, here we go.
Kevin Holland.
Kevin Holland.
Knockout. This round.
Coming? Frank, we think?
Definitely.
What's hope? We hope.
That, dude, that leg kick is working for some of the August.
A little bleak kick right there from Ponzi.
That was nasty.
Come on, Kevin.
For the people.
For the chat bat.
For the chat bet.
Do we let it ride to the main event if we get there?
Yes.
Oh, 100%.
Nice left to end.
Feels like it just didn't even face Kevin Holland, dude.
He's got a crazy job.
Chen. Oh, a little push kick
up, up the middle from Kevin Holland?
It would go.
Media scores
pretty tight.
I mean, I would not be shocked at all if it was
19-19 right now.
I give that, I give that 2018 with
little confidence. Yes.
I expect a little more mayhem in this fight.
I'm not going to lie, did I jinx it
by saying it was, it was like, we were
guaranteed for a fun fight? I think I might have jinxed
it. It was a fun-ish.
It's fun-ish. That's what I would say.
It is no Kevin Holland.
It's no gasoline Chris Curtis.
That was an awesome fight.
It's going to be a tough time not being...
Oh, man, I thought we had like a serious issue there.
Just a little slip.
Slippery out there for old Ponzi.
Ponzi, yeah.
It looks like he went a little limp after landing a kick.
Maybe the giant monster logo?
Both been trading jabs.
Those leg kicks are just so nasty.
Yeah.
I'd love to know what the leg kick numbers for both these guys are.
Holland just missed with a spinning wheel kick.
Let's see. Kevin Holland.
Oh, Ponzi, big left head.
Oh, I missed it.
I was looking at the leg kick numbers.
There's another leg kick from Ponzi Nivio.
Shockingly, Kevin Holland.
Outlanding him on the leg kicks.
Yeah, there's another one from Holland.
Momentum, definitely on the Ponzi side right now.
I wouldn't be surprised if a couple judges had it in 1919 right now too.
Yeah.
Man, that kick is working for him.
Yeah, Holland's got to go after him.
Oof.
He's trying. He's trying to counter.
He loads up on it.
Oh.
Holland just missed to the push kick up top.
Kick to the body from Holland.
Oh.
Got the guard up, though.
Nice job from Holland.
Defended that.
Oh, good right hand from Holland.
Oh, he was left hand from Holland.
Oh, that's in.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
Santiago, not happy with the stoppage.
I got up too fast. I got light-headed. I'm a little light-headed. I got him too fast.
Wow. Kevin Allen goes to Dana White and Donald Trump.
Well, he's two Dana. Is he going to say. Oh, we got the Trump children behind him, too.
He didn't even acknowledge Trump's existence.
Chapet, let's go!
Hit the gong.
Chapet, chat bet, chat, bet, chat, bet, chip bet, whew!
I mean, we should just chat. I mean, it.
He's just chat bet all the fights.
I'm very curious as to what those scorecards looked like.
That was getting dicey for Kevin home.
What?
Just out of nowhere.
Boom.
Ooh.
Oh, dude, he went face down.
Oh, man.
And then he delivered more.
Frank, referee, guru.
What do you say, man?
Good stoppage.
It was a good call.
A plus stoppage.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah, he went face first, man.
There we go.
Yeah.
This is, boom.
He went, sheesh, as they say, right?
Oh, God.
No.
I don't know who says that in 2020.
I think it's the prime.
The prime is the prime making me say that?
You're so hydrated.
There we go.
That was nasty.
All he gets it done is got a little sweaty for the chat bet.
Oh, for the chat bet.
I had almost given up on it in my head.
Yeah, I was like, well, in terms of, I want to see the,
score cards because I really do wonder.
Yeah. I thought Ponziinibia was hanging
in there pretty tough.
Nicely done from Kevin Holland.
Kevin Holland telling him that
his feet are hurt because he doesn't know what the
F Ponzi is made of because he kept picking
him and hurt his own feet.
Wow. And we get Kevin Holland
talking to Joe Rogan so you know that's going to be fun.
Oh, no doubt it's going to be fun.
All right, we got our first finish of the main card.
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go
All right
Let's see what he has to say
Call anybody out, do you think?
Don't ask him about him a little Mazadol, Joe
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it, Dana will get pissed
kicking that guy was hurting my feet
I mean they both landed
Quite a few leg kicks
Yeah
I'm waiting to see the cards
That'll be a fun thing to look at
I'll say it's
I bet
We might have two judges who gave
that second round of Ponzi.
And it looks like Ponzi was probably winning the third, too.
Ooh.
Damn.
Like, that is a great stoppage.
Fantastic stuff.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, there it is.
Wow.
I love it.
If you don't run to get it to get your ass tonight.
I know the boss said, don't say anything, but...
All right, let's...
No better amount.
All right.
We've already re-reacted by the...
We've re-reacted.
reacted for the main event, I'm assuming?
Yep.
All right.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I'm free-rolling it.
Let's let it ride.
I think I won 40 on that.
Beautifully done, chat bet.
Beautifully done.
Do they ever let us down?
It's really unbelievable.
I think we've missed one.
So we got the fighter right, but maybe twice.
Maybe twice.
But it's really just unbelievable what the chat does for us.
The original ones.
Always plus money.
Sometimes we let it ride because we're feeling,
feeling a little froggy.
There's look. Hey, Logan Paul.
All right.
This primes for you, Logan.
Look at Cowboys-Roney.
Look at Jack Donald Zaroni with all the hair.
How is this possible?
Fake hair.
You got to love the cowboy hat
with the monster logo on it is all the time.
Kid Rock, Mike Tyson.
No love for Zach Brown in the middle,
I think that was.
Georgia's own Zach Brown?
I guess so.
No love.
Hunter Campbell is hanging out there.
A lot of stars out in Miami, man.
A lot of stars out.
Kevin Holland.
Kevin Holland, getting any done for the chat bet.
Let's go.
Love it.
Love it.
Trying to see if we get a scorecard for that fight.
I'm very curious to see that it is.
We will try to find that.
This next fight is about to be fantastic.
It's time for the Bannon waits, my friends.
Hey, let's go.
If you got the broadcast up,
beautiful Newark, New Jersey,
getting some love right now.
Look at it.
Look at the Peru.
NJ out there.
Frank's a big jersey guy
Biggest jersey guy ever
Have you been to the Peru?
Oh yeah
Nice
A few times
Oh great arena
Easy to get to from the crib
Nice
Never been
The rock as we call it
The rock
Yeah Prudential logo
It's a rock
And now we get the promo
For Henry Sehudo's return
What are you like in this fight
Sehudo Sterling
I like Aljo
You like Aljo
Okay
Tulsa Gah
Suhudo is great, and it would not surprise me if Henry won.
Sterling is just so big.
Like, he's going to be so much bigger than him.
And athleticism pretty close to equal, if not maybe a slight edge to Sterling.
But Sehudo's a very good fighter, very smart.
He's good at everything.
100%.
And Aljo is not really good at everything, if that makes sense.
Like, Sterling's not a great striker.
So who is a better striker?
So who is obviously the better wrestler?
But I just think Aljo is just so much bigger than him.
And I think that's going to play a difference.
But I don't know.
I'm intrigued in the fight.
This fight should not be happening.
I'm incredibly intrigued by what's going to happen.
Yeah.
Aljo fumbled the bag.
You should be fighting Sean O'Malley in this fight.
But it's what happens when you fumble the bag.
I mean, if he wins, though.
Yeah, I mean, still.
If he wins, he can just re-rack it.
R-rack it.
Yeah, I mean.
Fight, uh, fight Sean O'Malley and then move up to 145 and give Maraba a shot.
Yeah.
I just have like...
I mean, Charles Oliver up and nailed there.
It's a great fight.
The absolute banger.
I just, the build to that fight between Sterling and Sehudo, I wish...
I will not be watching that press conference.
That is going to be an awful presser.
God.
King and cringe.
I'm going to be watching.
Oh, it'd be terrible.
So, so bad.
Get me, Benny and Charles
I'd rather listen to those two guys
Get after it
I love the poster for it
It's nice
Are they gonna give us the rest of the card
All right, we got Andrade John John Johnon
Bryce Mitchell, JSP
And we got freaking Chrome Gracie fighting
Yes
Against Charles Jorday
Is that the main card?
Yeah
That is the main card
Shout out to
Did they
Did they Photoshop the Venom shorts on to Sehudo?
I think so
The chat has spoken
What did they say, Frank
Adrian by TK or K.O.
Who?
Adrian.
I don't know.
We're doing it for the main event.
Oh, yeah.
We're doing it for the main event.
We're doing it for each one.
No, no, no, no.
Poor chat bet.
What is happening right now?
No, main event, frankly, talked about this.
That's good practice.
Good practice.
All right.
Well, chat's got to be best.
Joe and I are going to take this one.
Yes, you guys take that one.
I'm taking the main event.
We're right in the chat bed until the end of time.
Oh, so you guys are going to do it.
Okay.
Let's rewrite.
Let's rewrite the main event.
I mean, I'm telling you.
This has been a good one, man.
This has been a good one.
It's time.
I cannot wait.
It is about that time, my friends.
Rob Font, Adrian Yanyes.
Official pick for you, Janyes.
Rob Font, by decision.
I'm going Rob Font, too.
Cautiously.
Not confident.
Optimistically.
Rob Font.
Oh, we got scorecards.
Big step up.
Score cards?
Might surprise you.
10, 2018 across the board for Holland?
Yep.
All three judges, 2018.
Yep.
So it was never even a worry.
Sal Demado, Eric Colon, and even the local judge.
Elicio Rodriguez all had Holland up 10-9.
So they're all with us.
They did a good job.
Nothing more than an exclamation point for Kevin Holland.
Shout out, dude.
Shout out.
Him versus Jorge would be.
That's why I thought that was so weird
that Dana shut that down.
Like, you're planting seeds
for a fight that...
Very well could happen.
Yeah, and very well could happen,
and people will watch it.
If Jorge loses and doesn't retire,
I think that's a perfect fight.
Yes, 100%.
I've said it before.
I'll say, Kevin Holland is the Derek Lewis
of the Welterweight Division.
Like, it doesn't matter who he fights.
Kevin doesn't need to fight for belts.
Anybody he fights people are going to care about.
And if they're throwing in there with Mazadol,
holy smokes, that's going to be a good one.
We got Rob Font.
First fight in a year.
First fight is a dad.
He's got that dad strength now.
But Yanyes does as well.
It's going to be weird trying to train myself to call him Yanyes.
I must have missed this.
He insists on that?
Well, I mean, I've been interviewing him since before he was in the UFC,
and I always call him Yanaz.
He never corrected me.
Yeah, Adrian Yianez.
But he went on Twitter, and he's added the teal day above his N.
Oh.
And then he said, like, Janez.
Okay.
Hey. Adrian Yonias.
Yeah.
I mean, I get to hear the John Anick pronunciation to be 100% sure.
But yeah, he has tried to make that a point.
I hope this fight delivers.
I hope it's fireworks, man.
I'm very excited for this fight.
What else we got playing for the show today?
I got to whoop you in UFC.
That's right after this, right?
We got to rip some packs.
Ooh, yes, we do.
We rip some packs.
and we got Jed coming on for the Co-Main
we got Rick coming on for the main
we're already at the featured boat
moving
we're moving along here
I don't know if we are 90 minutes
yeah we got a
full-on decision in Hall of Fame announcement
and a fight that got
to the third round
there comes Adrian Yannes
no
Anna going with the Yanez
I don't know what to do here
I think I'm just
gonna go yanas until you know i'm faced with him adrian yanna is 93 93 baby shout out shout out
tough to go against them you are you're a 93 baby 93 wow you guys are so young adrian
uh to the youngest except for anybody you know born in 94 95 younger than the people born in 96
that's that's very true that's chicken seven
I'm just waiting for you to go higher.
Let's go, Frankie.
Frankie smokes.
What?
With a sizable wager on the chat bet.
Wow.
Frankie Smokes is riding with the chat.
Yeah, the chat don't mess around.
I love it.
A sizable bet?
A sizable bet.
A sizable wager from Frankie Smokes.
I will say that.
Wow.
All right.
Trying to make us regret not taking the chat bet.
Yeah, it was a decision Joe and I made,
and then you guys just fumbled that.
We'll talk after the fight.
Actually, you fumbled it as we went over it.
You can't fumble if fumble.
Stop it.
Can't fumble.
Numerous times we went over it.
We will do the main event if we, you know, set it on the show,
set it in the pre-show meeting.
Oh, Frank, I forgot.
You missed the pre-show meeting.
Can't do meetings.
Yeah.
Yonah's by decision at plus 250,
and font by decision plus 275 are very interesting.
I thought fonts number would be a little higher than that.
But Yonzi's by plus 250.
Is Yonah is the first to crack the chin of Rob Fawn?
I don't know what I mean.
People have cracked it.
Let me correct that.
Crack it, I mean, completely blow it out and knock him out.
If he does, that will be freaking impressive.
Like, really, really impressive.
If Adrian Yoniaz knocks Rob Fon out here,
sky is the limit for the dude.
Welcome to Jamrock for Rob Fon.
Let's go.
From Wobin Mass.
I like it.
Business.
Hat.
Looking good.
Looking right.
Took Rob Fon as a dog here, plus 160.
I think it's a good bet.
We're going head-to-head here, huh, Frankie?
Yeah.
What was the chap at?
Have the loser camera.
You don't even care.
Yon is by knockout, plus 150.
Wow.
Frank, sizable.
Don't tell him.
We need to know what you're riding, man.
Joe's riding this as well.
Let's go.
Did you all split the bet you sent me?
No.
All right, sweet.
Sweet.
Just you.
Yeah, the chat's going to be,
the real watch parties
in the control room.
I bet, yeah.
Are we even live right now
or are you guys live right now?
I've been meaning to tell me.
We're just talking to nobody right now.
Sick.
They're back there like funneling beers.
Wait, we didn't go live in?
Oh, oh, man.
There's Tyson Charter here in the corner.
Tyson tweeted something out
that this is going to be like the 20th
or I think it's the 20th time
he's walking Rob Font to a cage.
Major General Conada Crump
That's cool.
Oh, guest walkout.
Oh, that's very cool.
I was about to say, that is a guest walk.
I thought I was like, man, there are some very random fans here.
Rob Fon's second most significant strikes in bandweight history.
Rocking the Puerto Rican flag?
Pop-a-Font.
Oh, man, I'm so excited for this.
I love this.
I love this.
I'm so excited for this.
Over under, if it goes the distance, over under 160 significant strikes for Rob Fon.
Over.
I'm going to go over too.
Yeah.
I think the volume's going to be there.
That'll be some interesting.
Can he avoid the power of Adrian Yannas?
There's some interesting numbers.
Johnna is ranked 12th, man.
This would be a huge win.
If he gets it by knockout,
holy cow.
Yes.
Let's go to the tail of the tape for this one.
For the chap that we didn't take.
We'll take the main event, don't.
We got to, yeah.
I mean, that was the plan all along.
I mean, we told you.
That's if we still do the plan.
Check the tapes.
Rob Font, 19 and 6, Adrian Yadah is 16 and 3.
Rob Fon, six years older, has an inch of reach.
Or an inch of height, inch and a half of reach.
This is it.
I mean, what else can we say?
Let's go.
These last three fights are about to deliver.
I cannot wait.
Can't get over Bruce's jacket.
It's fantastic.
Bruce is wearing the second best jacket on any
MMA-related broadcast tonight.
Oh, you win.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I thought that was...
Oh, yeah, that's awesome.
Everyone kind of knew that, but...
Bruce Buffer's jacket looks like the curtain
on the old Merv Griffin set.
I mean, just incredible.
Throwback.
I'm gonna come out here and just say something.
I don't know how you're gonna react to it.
I don't know how you're gonna do it.
I don't know who Merv Griffin.
It's okay.
I've never read.
You're a young man, 94, 95, 96.
Yeah, 94.
96.
All younger.
All younger.
Wow.
Breaking news here, if we've got it.
Doop.
The eraser's broken?
Just found the second eraser.
Oh, sweet.
It's been behind me the entire time.
I've been sitting on it.
That's how great this fight card has been.
I haven't even leaned back fully.
I just felt it.
I've been on the edge of my sea, quite literally.
There is.
Breaking news, Ben, thank you.
Breaking news, we've located the second eraser.
It was behind me the entire time.
Here we go.
Keith Peterson.
How do you feel about that, Frankie?
Feel good.
You feel good.
Oh, cool.
Have a key Pee in there?
I will be there.
K.P.
All right.
here we go.
I'm a little nervous.
Let's fight.
I am a little nervous.
A lot of respect between these two men.
Oh, big right hand from Fon right out of the gates.
Yeah, just spent all this gas.
He's done, dude.
He tanks empty.
That's it.
I mean, he's got to, oh, nice right hand.
He's got to stay cautious, man.
Yonaz has big power and beautiful boxing.
All right.
Both guys plotting.
Little fain.
A little faint there from font.
Talked about it in the press conferences.
Ooh.
Nice little combo there from Yannas.
Start just throwing it out there, Rob.
Ooh.
Yeah, great right hand from Yannas.
I spoke with Adrian a couple of weeks ago,
and anyone who said that,
oh, font just got cracked.
Yeah.
Anyone who is saying like font is wash
or anything like that,
he took a big exception to that.
That's crazy.
I mean, that would also be taking away from his win
if he's able to get it done here.
Oh, here we go.
He's, dude, Yanaz is also just so quick, man.
Yeah.
Ooh.
Man.
It's popping Rob Fon's head back.
It's only, no, we're only 90 seconds in, but damn,
it's been a pretty damn good start for Yannes.
Oh, fine, nice jab from Fon.
The jab is working early for Fon.
Oh, nice.
Oh!
Oh, he stung him.
Yeah.
That second one.
Whoa.
Oh, big right here from Yadas.
Man, almost connected with that.
Fonz's already busted up.
I mean, he doesn't show well.
Oh, good knee from Fon.
Wow.
Fon hasn't even, he's done that a couple times.
He hasn't even been able to get close to completing one.
According to the clock, we're two minutes into this fight.
What did I just say?
Yeah.
That's it?
What did I just say?
Of round four.
Oh, yeah.
This fight's already over.
We're in round four.
We are right back to wild car.
Wow, nice.
Awesome.
I mean, maybe they are funneling gears back there.
They're crushing them.
What is going on, round four?
Yes.
Man, man, these guys are throwing.
Rocky fight.
Wow.
Nice uppercup from Fon.
Oh!
Fought with a one, too.
We're getting chaotic here.
I mean, very chaotic.
Dude, they're throwing caution to the wind.
This is getting crazy.
Oh, big right from Fon.
Oh, another jab.
The jabs working.
Oh, nice uppercup from Funt.
All right.
Come on.
Oh, big right in.
Come on, Rob.
He's got Yonnas.
Oh, Rob.
Oh, Yonnas is.
He's still, Rob's got me careful still.
Yes.
Oh, another right in.
Oh, Rob, come on.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Plus 160.
Hey, baby, yeah.
Woo!
This is why I didn't take the chat pad.
That was that sound.
How's that sound? Rob Fon.
First round knockout.
Wow!
Let's go!
I think you are.
I am.
Rob Fawn.
He's mad.
He seems to be unhappy about something.
Is that about the stoppage?
Let's go, Rob.
That was just...
That was insane.
Let's go, Rob!
Plus 160.
Cash that for me.
It looks like, like, he landed a jab,
and then he landed another jab,
Wow.
That right hand.
Huge.
Damn.
Huge.
Yon just looks completely out of it.
Let's go. Rob?
Let's go.
Rob?
Yelling at what coach?
Yalling at his coach?
I think we're actually going to have,
I think we're going to go to the arena
after that knockout and talk to our man.
Oh, are we?
Yeah, I think we're going to be joined
for just a couple of minutes here.
From the arena, from Media Row.
Popafon.
telling you that dad strength
just does something. I'm sorry, I'm pretty hyped about that one.
Does something. What a few people, you know,
throughout the old
the old lock terminology around
Yanez this week. Not so sure
about that. I mean, you just
not so sure about that.
Again, dude, experience matters.
It really matters. I can't
believe that he just chinned Adrian Yanez.
I didn't see that comment. Did not see that company.
I thought it was going to be a Jabfest decision.
Woo! Wow, that's wild,
man. Let's go, Rob Font.
It's just about showtime for old Horace Mons.
I know.
I'm getting jitters, man.
If you thought I was obnoxious right there when Rob Funt won?
That was insane.
If you thought I was obnoxious there when Rob Fon.
If Jorge Monsol recreates that.
Oh, my God.
First round knockout by Rob Fon, man.
Nobody saw that coming.
Nine first round finishes.
That was good.
I mean, that was a fun-ass couple minutes.
Oh, man.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Rob, man, he doesn't take...
He does not take damage well.
Like, he's tough as hell, but I'm talking, like, visually.
Yes, he does not wear it well.
I mean, literally the first couple...
The first two punches, Jan has landed.
He had a black eye and a bloody nose.
Big time.
Big time.
What are the vibes like...
It's Ralph Fiatryon.
That's it.
No other fight makes sense.
What are the vibes like back in the control room?
It's great.
Oh, yeah?
Sounds great.
I just got a, you know, sizable?
Sizable on that.
I mean, how, like.
It wasn't, it wasn't a small amount of money.
Wow.
There's a party back there, I'm telling you.
Caution to the win.
No loser cam on the control room?
Oh, that's a great.
Enjoy your prime.
Great point.
Enjoy your prime.
They're going to have this ready when Gilbert wins this next fight.
Peter Yan, Pierre Jan.
Call it, Peter Jan.
Good performance. Good stuff.
Good stuff.
Let's go.
Adrian Yannes will be back
and
Oh, of course, dude
It was where, like, look, I had no issue
with the matchmaking, even in hindsight,
no issue with the matchmaking at all.
I'm a huge fan of Adrian Yonnas.
Yeah, he'll be fine, he'll be back.
As we saw displayed in that first round,
he has beautiful boxing.
Cole Hauser.
Yellowstone.
Okay.
There's Bilal Muhammad.
Our guest is here.
He is.
Okay.
From the arena.
Correct.
There he is.
Tony.
Tony Kaladio.
of Draft King's fame.
Where are we in the arena?
Look at this guy.
Look at this.
Hey, this is, it's pandemonium here.
Rob Bont just knocked out Adrianianus.
And the King of Miami is up next right now.
I'm about to go in.
Look, I'm outside of the arena.
I'm in the concourse right now.
Everybody's inside.
We're about to go inside the arena,
see if we can sneak in
and see if we can get Mazbado all coming out.
It's going to take probably a couple minutes,
but I don't see if I can take you guys there.
Just give me one thing.
What are the vibes like for Jorge Mazvidal?
Lives are crazy right now.
The entire part has been wild.
Every time they show George on the stream, people go crazy.
I can't even describe it.
So Trump just walked in before the fights.
You had like a fighters walk in with his own music and stuff.
Wow, really?
And I think it's going to be triple that for George.
Triple that for George.
We think Jorge Mazzanah was going to triple up the former president.
Yeah, for sure.
At least here for sure.
He might go say hi to say.
Trump, to be honest. Did you say Trump
had his own walk-up music? Yeah, that really
happened? Yes. All of a sudden
this music came on and we were all looking around
and then all of a sudden walking in
like a bullet train, Trump with a red tie
and I was like, oh, yeah, boom,
this is calling ass.
It was crazy. What did he walk? What did he walk out?
Yeah, what was the walkout song?
Oh, man, it was a rock song. I don't remember exactly what it is,
but he came out to a rock song.
He came out like every day I'm hustling. That's so ridiculous.
Did they have a camera as he was walking in?
Did they have him on the screen as he was walking down and everything?
Yeah, they put him on the screen.
Wow.
Wow.
How did they not see a video of this?
Yes, that is so ridiculous.
They've been embarking the video, I guess, but they put them on screen.
The people went nuts.
There was a USA chance.
Like, it was insane.
It was absolutely insane.
Have you seen Mike Tyson wearing a Mike?
Tyson's shirt. He's sitting, he, Trump is two seats away from Tyson. The package, just to you
guys know, just if you guys can get an update. The package for George and Gil is about to go on and
hear the music. So once that goes out, we're going to run inside and I'm going to show you guys
live what's been happening. I was going to say, listen, if you have to run, you have to run.
I know you've only got a couple minutes here. No, no, no, but I got to, I want to show you
us the reaction.
You tell you tell me your
prediction for this fight for a
Horace.
I got
George.
George K.O.
Let's go.
George K.O.
I like how you're looking at the camera.
You want us to see a big reaction.
Plus 550.
You took it at plus
550.
Plus 550.
Tony, I'll be acting an absolute fool.
If we...
I'm a little bit on a funny line, too, plus 360.
Oh, that's what I'm talking about.
I like the money line, that for sure.
Is Jorge getting the A side of the B sidewalk that we know?
He's got to be getting B side.
He's got to go left.
He does no way that's going to happen.
No, I don't think so.
I think the rankings.
He has to go first.
Come on, man.
I love the view.
We're just getting just the dead close-up of your face here.
It's brilliant.
No, I know.
You can't hear us.
You can't hear us.
Oh, man.
So Jed Mishu is going to join us in a few moments as well.
But I'm glad Tony is here.
Yes.
We had to go inside the arena just to feel how it was going.
It's crazy right now.
It's crazy.
There's like nobody at the concession lines right now.
The place is so loud.
Tony, you run in there and just let us see what's going on and then we'll let you go, man.
All right, here we go.
Let's go.
Is he walking now?
I don't think he's walking.
I don't think he's walking, but let's just see what it looks like, and then we'll let Tony run.
Wow, look at this.
Look at this.
We got the full screen.
We're inside the arena.
No.
No.
No.
It's all an illusion.
He's pulling back the curtain to get out to the arena.
Oh, there it is.
There it is.
Oh, I love it.
Okay.
It looks like they're showing this same thing.
And we're just like that.
We're right back out.
I think they're in front of them.
This is crazy for right now, guys.
Tony, dude, thank you so much, man.
Love you guys, man.
Enjoy you.
Yes, brother.
Mosvado by knockout.
Let's go.
Speaking into existence, Tony.
Peace, brother.
He just got the overhead biceposed to get us out.
Thank you, Tony.
Nice getting some.
Hectic.
I know, you know, he did what he could.
Fantastic stuff from T.
From T.C. there.
Yes.
Are we doing game here while we wait for Jed?
We can.
We can.
Let's do it.
I think we're going to the back.
backyard, I'm Jorge, you're Gilbert.
We're going to see what we can do.
Did we post the chat bet for the main event yet, or are we still salty about that?
Nobody's salty.
You're salty.
You look like Salt Bay that classes on.
Do the thing.
Oh, we actually, we passed Salt Bay's restaurant, Nurse Rhett.
We passed that in New York earlier.
All right, here we go.
All right.
Boom.
All right.
Game bread.
Burns.
in the backyard we're throwing it back here oh oh oh oh oh no oh big headking you learned you learned
oh oh oh oh oh oh man are we both rocking jorts by the way or those just gym shorts wow the jabs
working for you oh big overhead right who oh yeah there it is here it is oh no oh
the beginning of the end for Gilbert.
Oh, he's got him in full amount.
I'm hugging.
Oh, yeah, there it is.
This is what we're going to see.
This is what we're going to see.
I lose.
Is Jorge walking out right now?
Not yet.
Oh, is it burns?
I hear Scarface type music.
Is anyone walking out right now?
Can anybody tell us anything?
Yes.
Oh, wow, wow, wow.
Look at this.
I'm trying to figure out who's about
walk out. Who is this walking out right now? Oh, this is, I mean, it's got to be Jorge. He's got to be
the B side, right? Oh, this is fantastic with the, with the pink and the blue, the Miami theme.
Oh, man, I mean, I'm not even watching and I'm getting knockouts. This is easy work.
And here, here comes Jorge walking out. I got knocked out again. A knock that again. I mean,
I wasn't even watching. I didn't watch for one second. That's what happens. I mean, just
light work. Do we have Jed Michoud on the line? Is Jed here?
I love the...
Yeah, let's talk to Jed.
I love the Scarface walkout.
That's absolutely brilliant stuff for him.
There he is.
Oh, by the way, speaking of, like, look at the hair.
I don't know if you've seen this.
Oh, the hair's a couple days.
The hair's down or what?
I got to let it down.
I love it.
Come on, baby.
Let it down for Jorge.
Is this why we're doing it?
Of course we're doing it for Jorge.
Jorge Monsbyn't all dictating the hair for you.
Are you on a laptop?
Can we get you to look down just a little bit?
I got to see the full flow here.
Oh, hold on.
Let me see.
Yeah, we only see it.
want him to look down.
There we go.
There it looks better.
Oh,
right back up.
Better?
Perfect.
There we go.
Look at that.
Do a little shoulder shake.
How do we go about this?
Jorge walkout?
Love the blue and pink.
Look at that hair.
Hair looks fantastic.
What time is a band practice, Jay?
You know, I'm thinking speed metal.
That's where I'm going to find my niche.
I feel like Jorge Moss would all would love speed metal.
She's a huge fan of it.
Love the walkout from Jorge.
the pink, the blue.
Got Mr. Worldwide in the corner.
Come on.
He's ready to go.
Oh, what do we think, Jed?
Round two spinning back fist.
T.K.os him on the ground.
Ooh, that's bold.
I'm going to go, let's just play the hits, baby.
Just a flying knee first 10 seconds.
Yeah, let's play the hits.
If you're flying knees right now,
I'm walking out of the building.
It worked once.
I'm walking out of the building.
I'm calling it.
Uber on the way to the elevator. I'm out of the building. Mike's doing the main event by himself.
Connor, can we just talk for a minute? What a fantastic outfit. I mean, I mean, thank you.
I mean, I'm glad you're a first guest to recognize it. Jed, I thought I looked pretty good.
When I saw myself looking back on the camera, I was like, oh, wow. Like, we're really bringing it for the people here.
Mike, a floral theme as well. I mean, we've got the trees. We got a little be in Veneto on Miami.
No one's talked about the
Flamingos yet.
A little gaff tape on the ground there.
Big part.
Over on the other side.
It's somewhere there.
I mean, you can tell the difference
between the trees. This one, standing
strong against the winds of a
South Florida hurricane.
Frank's over there that he set up.
There's actually a PA who did that one.
Deep roots. Frank's over there that he set up,
leaning against the TV, deflating, sad.
miserable. I mean, look at these
coconuts on mine. You could
pick these things and drink them, damn near.
I mean, these are fantastic
damn near. Damn near.
I will admit, I'm a bit sad that you guys
don't have some sort of a coconut
cocktail. Yeah, yeah. Here's the walk go.
Coconuts are tough to
land up here in New York.
We have a shortage lately.
You should have Mike fly him up with you.
That can be his carry-on.
He can't be bothered, yeah. What's in the
carry-on, sir?
19 coconuts.
They stopped me
in the carry-on line at the airport
because they have a new travel mic.
And it looks
like something out of men in black.
It's a little guy.
It's a little guy.
I don't know the name of it.
Oh, it looks like the chicken from men in black.
And it's got the stand that looks like
it could walk across
a room for sure.
The ageless Gilbert Doreno Burns on his way out
who somehow looks 10 years,
younger with the hair and the outfits.
He looks like he's in fifth grade in 1992, which is incredible.
How are we feeling about our Mastodol bet right now?
I want to feel down about it.
I want to be like, you know, he hasn't looked great.
He seemed distracted, you know, fighting in the streets last night.
I've never felt better.
I love that.
I'm just putting it out in the universe.
that we're going to make this happen, man.
Yeah, I don't know.
Something's in the air over there at Miami-Dade Arena.
I just, listen, at the end of the day,
we set it on No Bet's Bard.
I'm just paying the price of admission
just to have a dream here,
just to see if we can make it happen.
You know, I'm with you on the dream.
Let's just scum in the outcome.
Can you imagine what that place is going to be like
if George just like been asking them
it's gonna be nuts
I mean if he's been asking him
the place is gonna fall out
if he just wobbles him at one point
the place is gonna go absolutely
apis shit like
every punch Mazadol throws
his entire fight is going to be honest
it's gonna be awesome
Jed would you think of Robbie Fawn
how about Robbie Fawn
going out there and putting Adrian away
did he ever leave
oh I mean he for sure left
he lost we're gonna make a proclamation
right now. Are you going to go back
to something you said a couple of years ago?
We're not.
But it was great to see
him back. That was a really fun fight.
Just a smart way
to beat up Adrian Yonnas. It's been
a really good night of fights, guys.
I think we all thought it would be.
I think everybody was pretty pumped, and it hasn't been
like in 10 out of 10 A plus, but it's
delivered a good night, and now we're into the
real stuff. So, I mean,
these lines are too far inside. I don't.
I don't even know what to say about him.
I can't wait.
Also, most importantly,
Connor, the chat GPT bet.
It's here.
Yes.
It is here.
I wish Gasolam could have gotten a late finish,
but that was very close.
Bingo.
Things were happening.
It was so exciting.
It still got it.
Yeah, shout out to chat GPT.
Dude, also, Mike, what you said earlier,
how is Gilbert Burns aging backwards?
He looks great, dude.
He looks great.
If I can look like that at 36, I believe he is.
Woo!
I'll be a happy man.
I will be a happy man.
He looks, he looks fantastic, dude.
The hair really makes him look younger, too.
100%.
He wears the hair very well.
The boys are in the octagon.
All right.
Let's go to the tail of the tape for this.
Let's go.
Welterweight co-made.
He looks ready.
Let's do it.
Former title challengers, getting after it.
305.
It was Burns, two years younger, inch shorter.
Mazadol, the BMF champion, the 3-inch reach advantage.
Nothing else left to do, but has the Dapper, Bruce Buffer, get us going.
What you said, Jen?
Does he just get to be, does Mosvold just get to be the BMF champion forever?
Like, it feels like at some point he should have to defend the title.
I think Linneal right now is Leon Edwards?
I mean, this isn't the middleweighty middleweight title.
If I'm not mistaken, there it is.
there they are right here
Roy Mazvedo Money Line
Mazvedol KOTKO.
Just a dream, you know
just the guy with a dream.
I mean Mazadol looks ready.
This is
I think he's going to come out.
I mean, you have to come out
in front of this crowd.
In front of this crowd,
you've got to come out swinging.
I will say I don't feel very good
about my over two and a half bet right now.
Dude, I thought that Rob Fon, Adrienne Yonis
if I was going to go long.
It did not.
Yeah, I have to see it on that played out.
There's pause for every fight moving forward with overs.
Crowds.
You've had a couple of major comebacks tonight, too?
Crowd looks pumped.
Therino looks ready to go, bro.
Therino looks ready to go.
All about the business.
I mean, he's a beast.
He's a G-2.
Interesting stat line.
Game is game comes.
Interesting stat line from a betting perspective.
Gilbert Burns 5 and 4 is a favorite.
Interesting.
That is not good.
I wonder if he's ever been as big as a favorite.
as he is here.
He was a huge favorite
against Neil Magny as well.
I think it's bigger.
I would imagine
he would have been
something similar
to this against
that woman is clearly
cheering against Thorpe.
Yeah, maybe.
She was very excited about
this.
These guys
are getting the
full up Mark Goddard's speech.
Love it.
I know Frank loves this.
Oh yeah.
This is my hand.
He gets Big Dan
in the big man.
It's time. They have touched gloves.
There's Dana White, Donald Trump,
Kid Rock, and Mike Tyson. We're in the Mike Tyson T-shirt.
We are ready to go. We are in Miami.
Yes. There's Hunter in between them. I mean, geez, Louise.
What it would be like to sit down there?
Here we go. There's no flying knee, guys.
There's no flying knee.
I said I was going to leave. I said I was going to leave.
I'm glad I get to stay for the last two fights.
I didn't want to do this on myself.
I drank a lot of prime, though.
I do kind of have to go to the bathroom,
but, you know, we're hunkered in.
We're almost in.
You're very, extremely high-jured.
What's your prime of choice, Connor?
I'm actually a fan of a few of them.
The blue's good.
The ice pop's good.
Metamoon.
Metamom's actually good if you had a little water to it,
you know, lighten down the sweetness.
What are you doing?
I kind of like going half water, half prime.
It's, it's hard.
Wow.
No, I'm actually fully with Connor.
They are way too sweet.
It just water it down a little bit.
It makes it a little more, you know,
Sometimes I get that in the back of my throat, you know.
All right, let's get back to this fight, though.
We're 45 seconds in, we've only seen a couple strikes.
I was to say, we're not getting back to much.
Sunglasses is on.
You're going full of my hands.
I remember my first prime.
I'm sure you do.
It was probably like four months ago, Frank.
Nothing but leg kicks thus far.
Everybody's being real cautious.
I mean, you've got to be a little bit nervous in front of the crowd like this.
A lot of pressure.
This is like when you started a street fighter game.
I forget to pick up the controller.
This is like.
Frank, not a little.
enjoying.
This is every
Israel had this in your fight.
I'm going to kill him.
I'm a vampire.
I'm a dog.
I'm going to jab them and low kick him.
So that's what we're getting right now, folks.
If you're not watching.
Yes.
That's what we're getting.
Sucks to be him.
Renfield, Nick Cage, shout out.
Theater's only in theaters,
April 14th.
Nice left hand from Gilbert.
When do we see the first take down
attempt?
What do you guys think?
I don't know if we're going to see it in this round.
Oh, nice right.
End of the first round.
I think Gilbert's going to send a message at the end of the first round.
Okay.
At least try to.
All right, I like that.
Wouldn't be a bad idea.
He's going to sit here and box them.
I think as soon as Mazda...
Well, you know what?
I think if Mazadol lands something clean to the face, he'll shoot...
I like Mazved all working the leg kicks here.
Yeah?
Very measured.
Yep.
Now looking like he did in the first round against Uspin.
In that second fight.
Maswell is kind of looking like he's looked in all of his fights
except for that three fights
streak where he became like super popular.
I don't know. He looks fine.
They're just feeling each other out.
No, that's, this is who Horace Wal-
I like it, man.
We're here to scrap.
He's just a very good, defensive, scrappy guy.
Bernster's a body kick, those blocked by Mazadol.
Mazdaal, the left-an and laces leg kicks behind the combination.
A little bit of aggression.
Not what I expected from Burns this fight.
No, I thought he would really be pushing a lot more.
Mazza don't really looking to pepper that leg.
That Burns are going to shoot right there.
I'm still waiting on the burns.
Yeah, I feel like it's coming.
Just bouncing.
Burns throwing through the fastball there, but missed by a mile.
Missed by a lot.
Missed by a lot.
Minut 45 left.
We got the correct round on the screen.
We do have the correct round.
We were showing round four.
That was actually a...
Oh, oh, no.
Wow, I had a little tangle up there.
A little tangle.
A little tangle.
Burns starting to fire now, but still...
I was close from Burns.
Nice body kick by Burns.
This round 90 seconds and still very much anybody's round.
Yeah, I don't know how you would even score it.
Nothing really of significance has happened.
One of them needs to just step on the gas here, take a round.
I mean, that would be tremendous.
Minute left?
Still very cautious from both guys.
Yes, I didn't really see this coming.
This was not the fight I expected.
Nervous in front of the Florida crowd, you know?
Shake it off.
We'll get in an exciting.
Oh, there you go.
Burns throws the right hand.
Oh, Mosul firing back.
Oh, goes with the knee.
Not there.
Goes for it, though.
He's working that leg kick.
Oh, good right hand from Burns.
Yep.
He must have got out of the way to left.
Stepping right hand.
There's the right hand again from Burns.
Yep.
There we going.
Mosadol, nice little counter left.
20 seconds to go.
Right hand from Mazadol.
Oh, gosh.
Nice right hand from Burns.
Good jab from Mazadol.
He might not be there for Mazadol.
Knee just might not be there.
Oh, there's the takedat.
You called it.
Wow, you called that.
You called that Jed.
Wow.
Yes.
All right.
as they now just...
Ridiculous ground and pound from Gilbert there.
Yeah, I mean...
Sending a message.
That put a stamp on that one.
I think when he went for the knee and missed,
got the right hand, and then the takedown.
Gilbert 10-9.
You see some aggression here in round two from Jorge,
but I will go 10-9 Dorino, round one.
Yeah, I'm with you.
10-9 burns.
Feels right.
Feels right.
I can't imagine a ref.
or a judge giving that 10-9
Oswald. But who knows?
We're not listening to the crowd,
so it is possible that they are just like
no-selling the entirety of Doreno.
Yeah, that's the thing.
It's the crowd.
Burns, looking fresh as a
daisy in the corner. He does. He does.
Oswald looks all right.
The confidence has to be a little shaken on
like how much...
What are the live odds are right now?
Doreno just kind of threw them around there.
What are the live odds?
I'm checking right now.
I'm going to say minus 5 for Doreenia.
Minus 320.
Dron.
Dropped.
Plus two feet of Jorge, yeah.
I don't know.
Wasn't the most dominant round from Gilbert?
It wasn't, but I mean, he was already ahead and who wins around, gets the takedown, thought it'd be higher.
Yeah.
I do think we have to work.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Now this is what I thought Gilbert was fighting.
Yeah, me too.
I thought he would be coming out.
And now he goes take down.
Oh, this is going to be a takedown.
This is going to be one.
Oh, gosh.
Yeah.
Cool elevation jumps him.
Stop trying to hit him, Jorge.
Yeah, that's.
That is a lot of pressure from Dorino there.
Yeah.
I bet Miami's booing.
Nah.
We can hear him in, are you?
Oh, you can.
Yeah.
Can you not, should?
Sure can't.
Oh, wow.
That's a direct threat to Frankie there.
I feel great about it.
I don't, who needs the commentary?
Four minutes now?
This is tough for Jorge.
Yeah, and he's not, he's just tying up.
He's not trying to create space.
No.
Yeah.
This is, now, now Miami's building.
Yeah.
That was way too easy for Gilbert to get that takedown too.
That was incredibly easy.
Yeah, he just, he didn't try to, like, really defended, like he normally has defended
take downs in the past.
Yeah, now we're talking.
we're talking big time odd shift minus 750 gilbert burns yeah it's got to be surprised if it's
5,000 by the end of this round shout out to resident even before yes great call frank great call
what if moscow could probably uh probably close to standing this bad boy up i would say uh man
i don't know i don't know if goddard's going to get him up i don't think so you got a you got a
different ref maybe, but Mark's going to let him sit here for a long time.
I feel like Gilbert's working anyway.
Which is the right choice.
Of course.
Firm, agree, Frank.
Frank loves Mark Otter.
He can do no wrong.
Man, this is some serious pressure from Gilbert Burns here.
Yes.
It looks very uncomfortable to be Jorge Maswell right now.
Mark's talking to him saying, let's do something.
I don't think they should stand them up.
I think they're going to.
Marky Marks are standing a lot.
Burns is doing a lot more holding now, but...
Yeah.
But he's coming through.
There you.
Well, no.
Mark's taking a pretty sizable walk to the other side of this, so maybe he's not...
I don't think they're going to.
Mossville knows how to get up.
Let's try and make some things happen, Jorge.
You're to the fence.
I mean, that's easier said than done.
No, there we go.
Mazel's trying.
Oh.
Now he's starting to go.
And he's to the feet.
Whoa, tried something crazy there.
Oh, yeah, that's crazy.
Oh, no.
The Grammy roll.
It's not going to break the hands.
Trying to break the hands.
That was almost like a catastrophic mistake.
Oh, man.
Yes, that was close to be horrific.
Hands of Gilbert Burns.
Oh, but you just, I mean, basically gave his back doing that.
Staying with him.
Wow.
No, don't.
I'll just get back to the stand.
Don't slap on a gilly.
Don't do it.
Don't you do it.
He's looking like he's doing it.
Don't you do it?
Or do it because it'd be hilarious.
I mean, it's not going to happen.
It just isn't going to happen.
Seems unlikely.
You never know if you don't try.
Oh, we're going for it.
He's trying.
The chances of this working, and he's out.
And he's out.
Zero point zero seconds later.
He's out.
What are they funny?
This is no fun for Jorge Mosvidal.
Jorge Mosvidal should stop fighting people
who are going to grapple him.
Trying to get out.
Back up.
Trying to get up.
Trying to use a wizard on here,
but that's not going to work.
And Gilbert Burns is just very good at fist fighting.
Just catch you.
There he's an underhook.
There you go.
50 seconds to work for old Jorge.
Turn him over and get some separation.
Turn around.
Horne and he's trying to grab him below the belt.
There we go.
You should just hit him below the belt and then we'll break
and you can get back to space.
That's not a bad idea.
Easy seven.
All right, we got separated 30 seconds.
Let's see if anything can happen.
Baptize him.
Come on.
Oh, that was not a good looking part.
Oh, there we go.
Nice body kick.
What did I say?
Yeah.
But that right hand Mazadal through did not look good.
No.
The knees are.
Both landed there.
Both landed.
It's right.
Just suck them in.
the brawl, Jorge.
Right hand?
Nah.
Pressive second round
there for Darino.
Nothing changes for me.
Connor, we're fine.
10-9, Gilbert.
We're fine. Don't worry about it.
10-9, Gilbert.
2018, Darino.
We are fine.
You know what weekend this is?
Tomorrow or, I'm sorry, today,
according to my time and your time,
it's Easter.
And in the third round,
Street Jesus,
rose again from the dead
to defeat Gilbert.
Doreno Burns. That's what's about to happen.
Wow. The prophecy has been told by
Jed Mishu here on the UFC watch party.
No, I mean, totally honest,
like Doreno is probably just going to grind
him out here and just won a 3027.
Connor, that's not suffering the outcome.
10-9, Doreno.
Yeah, 10-9.
If this isn't 2018, Doreno,
that's shocking.
You never know.
I can see.
There's a world where Mazel wins the first.
Corner is saying we need to win the third round to win this fight.
Yeah.
Every punch that was thrown by Mazdaal got a reaction.
I think he needs to finish.
In that first round.
I definitely think he needs a finish year.
Baptize him. Let's do it.
All right. We touch gloves.
That's a tough ask.
It could be.
Gilbert Burns throwing a head kick.
That was flexible.
Yeah, not what I expected from him in round three of this fight.
I like the gusto, though.
I mean, they're right on top of the monster energy can,
center of this octagon.
It's a big can.
It's a big can.
Big can.
Oh, Burns the right.
Good right hand.
It's looking a little bit like the first round.
A little bit.
Burns charging it with the right.
You would think Gilbert Burns would try and go for a takedown, eh?
I think he's trying, it's looked that he has tried to shoot them
once he's gotten Mossadol back to the fan.
where the escape routes are not there.
Oh.
Like kick from Mazadol?
Could have need something more than that.
A lot more.
I mean.
Burns like, another light kick.
Burns just doesn't seem nervous at all.
I mean, Mazbel doesn't present it much
in terms of danger to him.
True.
Burns is not too a lot.
Not too at all, though.
I still think at this point at the fight, even though you could make a case he's down 2-0.
The Mazadol bet was the way to go with this one.
I don't know.
Let's see what happens to the last three minutes.
Let's see what happens the last minute.
If this round keeps going this way, then yeah, sure.
Let's see what happens to last year.
If he just gets another takedown.
Yeah.
Burns is starting to come forward, though.
Left hand from Burns?
Yeah.
Oh, big right hand from Burns.
Mosseroll is on chicken legs right now.
Mazadal's doing that.
Come on, but he's really hurt badly
and not throwing anything back.
This is where Burns is about to fire
a double leg right here.
I think he's crazy if he does that.
And Jorge goes for the inside leg kick.
We need something.
We need something on the feet here, Jorge.
I'm not even sure what Jorge could do at this point.
Yeah, he looks like he doesn't have much left of the tank.
Oh, there's the right hand.
All right.
Decent right hand.
Oh, nice, nice right hands from Gilbert.
Left hand back from Burns.
Ooh, big uppercut.
Oh, good uppercut.
Oh, he's got to have Mazved all hurt here.
Oh, nice.
Left hand from Burns.
Oh, man, he's just teeing off.
Oh, man.
Nice straight.
As what I was saying, come on, bring it.
He was waving him in.
You would hope he's going to have something back for him, no.
You just wait.
More like kicks.
Wait for the right opportunity.
The leg kick him.
Yeah, the leg kick in return is not great.
It's not great.
Nice left.
Nice left from Burns.
Oh, big right.
Oh, that was a monster right hand.
Oh, a little body work.
A little bodywork.
Leg kick.
Oh, take down, take down.
Take down.
Take down.
That's what I've got double overs.
That's what I was staying up.
needs to get his hips out.
Come on, Mazadol.
Get out of there.
I want to see the last minute of craziness.
It's way more fun when you were getting clubbed upside the head than getting held.
Spot the line, Mike.
Oh, oh.
That's boring.
And it's inside control.
I'm actually going to disagree.
I'm going to say the horay bet was not even, I'm going to say it was not the right bet.
I'm with Connor.
There really wasn't a moment where I felt like he was going to win the fight.
The over two and a half bet killed it, though.
Nice.
That was a great, nice.
But this is a...
Burns didn't run them over.
That was the thing.
This is not a runover, but it's whatever's just short of that.
Yes.
I'm actually with your shit.
Two steps.
This was not competitive.
This was Gilbert Burns kind of doing what you were doing.
First round was kind of competitive.
Kind of competitive.
The first one was competing because neither man did a lot.
I'd say.
Yeah.
Stratidri.
It was all about the dream, though.
It was all about the dream.
We had a dream.
We were reading Wordup magazine.
Sal and Peppa and Heavy D were up in the limousine.
Way to go, Mike.
I can do the whole song, but I ain't.
Oh, oh.
Oh, well, not going to happen.
All right, Gilbert Burns is my decision.
Gilbert Burns just continues to be super good at fighting.
Yep.
Yeah, I mean, no shot.
And now he gets to fight Belal Muhammad.
You think that's what's next for Burnsey?
Yeah, I think that's what ends up happening.
Man, poor Leon. Leon's dream is now dead,
and he will actually have to fight Colby Covington.
Oh, yeah, he's definitely fighting Goldie.
How bad can the judges be?
Can we get a, you know, quick job?
I don't think there's home cooking enough here.
A little Jorge Splitty?
Why didn't he even go for that knee?
It was the among the worst scorecards I've ever seen.
Oh.
Like, yes.
We could see 29-28 mix in here, and even that is somewhat egregious, if we're being honest.
I think so, too.
It would be pretty bad.
It would be pretty bad.
Yeah.
If Mazzol gets the decision here, it's pretty bad.
I am interested to see if any of the judges give Moshedal the first round or if this is 30-27s.
It's not ultimately going to matter, but if they did, it was competitive for a lot.
No, it's true.
I think we're 29-20-year.
The first round?
No, the gloves are coming off, it appears.
Is Mazel?
Oh, I don't know.
Gilbert Burns was finding a lot of success on the feet.
I think it's 3027.
Yeah.
I mean, yes, I think so.
And it looks like he may be thinking about hanging this one off.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think that's a terrible idea.
We can go fight Kevin Holland, although I kind of, that could be bad.
Yeah.
I mean, I think he should not retire because Connor McGregor is still around.
He's not taking the gloves off, doesn't...
No, yeah.
Looks like he was thinking about it.
Here we go, Mazvedos.
Let's see what they say.
Let's go.
3027?
3027.
Yeah, there's a 928 in there.
Jorge!
Shout out of the Gimber Burns, bro.
He is a G.
Yeah, go of birds.
I mean, absolute stud.
Just taking all the fights no one wants.
And game as they come, bro.
Talk about game.
game bread.
Gilbert Burns is also that beast.
Fantastic performance.
Did exactly what he needed to do.
Oh, and we're going to get a Jorge talk as well.
Doreno's kids already in there.
Six shirts.
Miami colors.
Doreno.
Wow, Gilbert Burns drank that monster real quick.
As one does.
It's already open.
He's already turned it over.
It's not a drop.
Not a drop came out of that can.
He's a prompt can.
I love the, uh,
the Brazilian headband
sneak the flag out there, break their rules.
I've never thought about that, Conner.
Gilbert's just being classy.
Yes, classy.
Give it up for game bread.
Give it all. It's a classy dude also.
Don't you do it?
Only guy.
I'm willing to fight anyone.
I'm the only guy willing to fight anyone.
Oh, he's calling out Shavkat.
Balao.
Call out Shavkat.
Ah, you blew it.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, I see what he's doing.
Did he just say I'm not taking anything else?
You're not taking anyone other than the title fight?
You are mistaken.
I think he's saying he wants a winner of Colby Leon.
Yeah, he's not getting that.
No, zero chance.
I think he just said in Portuguese who he really wants to fight.
Yeah, he said, Bala Muhammad, I'm probably fighting you next.
If not, they'll give me Shafka-Rakmanoff, and I guess I'll do that too.
Perfect Portuguese, sir.
Yes.
Joe's trying to retire.
He's got the gloves in hand.
Sorry.
Respect.
All right.
This is where he ends it.
I like it.
Not a bad way to go out.
Great retirement speech, man.
I'm digging this.
You could pivot.
Wow.
What are you saying, Frank?
There it is.
Game bread boxing.
Hey, salute to Jorge there, man.
Good career.
Oh, there he is.
Shout out.
Shout out to Trump.
Greatest governor.
Shout out to Sanchez.
Wow.
Oh, man.
Okay.
Well, there's Jorge Mazinol.
Is this the most politically charged?
Joe Rogan is trying like hell to get that microphone back.
I got to say, from our retirement speech, I don't think that's how I'd have ended it.
But you do what you got to do, man.
Hey, listen.
He's a big political guy.
Yes.
Have we run the chat bet for the main event yet?
Please tell me we have.
Who do you guys have coming for the main event?
Ricky main event.
RMA.
Love it.
Love the energy.
Nothing back there on the, you know.
They just ignore.
I think they just left.
The chat has gone back and forth over the past few minutes here.
I love it.
It's really a 50-50.
I'm telling Joe, just to call it as soon as it's 51 on the other side.
Wow.
It's that close.
tremendous.
Holy cow.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to put any more money on your final prediction.
Maybe you'll sway.
Yeah, they lost you on the wrongfully suited chat, but I feel you.
I'm officially, Mike, I'm officially have predicted Israel with this and you by first-round
K.O.
I don't feel good about it at all.
Izzy's probably going to get knocked out again, but I'm where I'm at is what I've been doing,
sort of been saying.
So let's go, Izzy.
All right.
there's the official prediction from Jed Mishu
first round K-O
for Israel
Adisonia
getting the title back. That's what Jedmishu
is predicting. I like it.
It's great to have you, Judd. You're the best, Jedd.
Thanks, guys. Peace. Are you on the post-fight show?
Sure. All right, well, we'll see you on the post-fight show.
And we'll talk more about this and much more.
You and your hair, enjoy the main event.
And there's Amanda Nunes, and there it is.
that's right fighting juliana pain yeah
it is happening
and
I mean the collective reaction to that
has been uh
kind of sad
all right chappet's in
chat bet is in tell me
give me the good news
well we don't know by white yet
what side was it though
is he
oh let's go
51 to 49
51 to 49 that's incredible
that might be the closest chat bet
ever done.
I'm nervous.
Like, it honestly feels like another 10 seconds.
It would have been 51.
How does he get it done?
How does he get it done?
They're also undecided on that.
Wow.
Wow.
Well, they decide.
Let's rip a couple packs.
Let's rip a couple packs.
Yeah.
Why not?
I just heard of DJ Khalid over the UFC speaking?
I'm sure.
I love it.
All right.
So here's what we're rocking with.
Here's what we're rocking with.
We're going...
These are hobby packs.
I'm trying something new here in the card collecting world.
Hobby packs.
We're going one prism and one Donrus.
Donris?
Yeah, they're a little more expensive packs,
but I think you have a higher chance
of finding something good in them.
I'm a big fan of Donris.
I'm feeling a one-of-one.
I'm feeling a one-of-one.
Oh, okay.
I don't know about you,
but I feel a one-of-one.
Donriss brings me back
to my youthful days of collecting baseball cards.
Donrest was sticking around.
There's a lot of cards in here.
There's a lot of cards in here.
A lot of cards.
Yes, back in the gum in the pack days.
All right.
Where's the best focus?
Okay, this is the best focus.
We start.
Piotr Yon.
A lot of these are just going to be base cards.
Magumann Anklav.
All right.
Joanne Wood.
We're just going to keep free rolling
until we get something crazy.
Viviana Rujo.
Okay.
Oh, Marvin Vittori, but the text is...
Nope, no, that's just the base one, sorry.
Sorry, guys.
Jared Canineer.
Middle-Aid, middle-aids, back to back.
Domina Greas.
Mike Goddard.
Mark Goddard.
Why do you always do that?
I'm the worst.
Like, one day you're going to walk in and be like,
what's up, Calvin?
You always get incredibly close to people's first names.
Ah, there we go.
Benile there, you're just going to be fighting over there in Newark.
Not much going on with this pack.
A lot of base cards.
Caitlin Chukagin.
I was really hoping for something better here, Francis Ngano.
Ooh, there's a little something.
A little rated rookie for Chris Dawkes.
Chris Dawkins rated rookie on a tough skin lately.
All right.
All right, Robert Whitaker.
We keep it rolling.
Darren Till, press proof.
Press proof.
Whoa, here we go.
Sparkle.
Here we go.
We see a little sparkle here.
What is it?
We see you little sparkles.
Put it upside down.
Hand is raised.
Hand is raised.
I was going to say Amanda.
That is.
That is not a man in the internet.
Alexis Davis.
This is unbelievable.
I'll take tell.
Oh, we get out a comic book cover?
We got a comic book cover.
All right.
Alexis Davis, dude.
Shout out.
Who's this, Megan Anderson?
These were not the cheapest packs.
I'm not going to lie.
Valentin Shevchenko, Marvel.
edition. A Kabib Crunch Time. Looks like the
serial Captain Crunch. Here we go. This might be something. This might be
something. A little Connor McGregor magician.
Wow. All right. Wow. What does this mean? A Connor McGregor magician.
Number one. Someone in the chat wants to tell me if I just hit the lottery,
let me know. I mean, we got to put up the Alexis
Davis. That's big time.
Big time stuff there.
We're back to it.
Ronnie Yaya.
Mandahivas,
these might just all be base cards.
Alex Casaris, Daniel Kormier.
Nice.
I think you might have hit the jackpot on.
Yeah, I think we just found our retirement
in this Alexis Davis.
Cubs Swanson.
Edson Barbosa, he's fighting next week.
Someone selling the Conradger magician card
on eBay for $2.
So get excited.
Have you checked on the Spark?
Alexis Davis.
1,000, 2,000.
3K.
Brandon Roy Val fights next week.
Another Alexis Davis.
Wow.
We have hit the Alexis Davis jackpot, people.
This is huge.
This is huge.
We need another stand.
We're going to be able to go on to eBay,
and we're going to be able to sell an entire Alexis Davis lot.
This is huge stuff, people.
Michelle Waterson fought tonight.
And Macy Shazahn.
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend that.
the Donorous
pack
Something good in here
Looks like
Could be a $10 card
Let's ask Rick
What he thinks is in there
Small one-on-one
Oh New York Rick
Rick
Rick you interested in buying
A massive lot
Of Alexis Davis cards
Because your boy
Just came up on him
You know I'm not in the market
For those at the moment
He has a sheet full of them already
Yeah, I may have made a grave mistake.
The chat has spoken.
I think hobby boxes are the way to go, not packs.
The chat has spoken, please, tell me.
Is he by TK.O.K.O.K.
Oh, that's right where I'm thinking, too.
All right. We're free rolling it.
That Alexis Davis card, I'm seeing anywhere from $199 to $999.
Wow, $199.99 to $999?
If you had opened them with gloves, it'd be worth $9.99.
A decimal point between the first number in the last 99s.
But still, 10 bucks.
Great.
The pack was like fourfold that, but it's all good.
It's all good.
Israel out of Sonia.
We're free-rolling it.
We won $40 last time for the chat bet.
This plus $275.
Ooh, baby.
All right.
All right.
Let's run through this prism pack here.
I think I see some reds in here.
Some of-99s.
Let's see if we can get something good.
All right, Tucker Lutz.
If there's another like a day in there,
I'm going to lose my mind.
We're looking for it, make it a three-card lot.
Raphael Sunsau.
Nina Nunez.
Two retired fighters in a row.
Oh, man.
Cubs Swanson.
All right, here we go.
This is going to be in an of-99, I think.
Ooh.
Oh, Chuck Liddell.
Oh, that could be a good one.
Chuck Liddell of 200.
99, sorry.
Not quite as good, but
that's going to have to go right up there
with the Alexis Davis card.
And a Rosario Bonterine
rookie, this is like a funky looking one.
Doesn't look to have a number
on it, but that's a nice
looking red there.
Rookie too.
Shout out to Roger Bonterine.
Still fighting in the promotion?
Connor McGregor.
Fancy looking one.
And Jimmy Crute.
Is it coming out to Headstrong?
Another Rosario Bontarine.
And the Chan Song,
Junk, Korean Zombie, Alexander Volkov.
All right, those...
I like it.
I think we just need to get back
to, like, the Chronicles Hobby Boxes.
Yeah, I think so, too.
Yeah.
I think that's...
That was my mistake, everyone.
Israel Adasana making his...
Keep an eye out on eBay for the Alexis Davis card lot, though.
Yes.
Coming out to Headstrong by Trapped.
Didn't see that coming.
I love it.
I dig it.
He's all fired up.
He's going with the collar for the walkout.
He's still got the dog collar.
All right.
New York, Rick, how are we feeling here?
We're moments away from this main event.
We've had all these questions, all these different things going on, all these thoughts at our minds.
Like, is he due?
Is it finally the time?
Can he finally beat this man?
And now he's walking to the octagon, Israel Adisani, try to slay the dragon, maybe the last chance.
Maybe the last chance is going to have to get this done.
How are we feeling right now, New York, Rick?
Yeah.
My feelings on this matchup really haven't changed much.
I feel like Israel is going to be the more technical fighter, the more well-rounded fighter,
and he's got a path to victory that's very clear in avoiding Alex Pereira's power shots and winning on the feet.
He could also take it to the ground.
But the problem is, Alex Pereira always seems.
to find that one shot, that one button on Israel out of Sanya and turn out the light.
So I feel the same way I felt about the kickboxing matchups.
I feel the same way I felt about the first MMA fight.
It's Israel's fight to lose, but Alex finds the way to force the issue every single time.
It's hard.
I would imagine it's hard for Israel to stand there, extremely confident across the cage from a guy who's
beaten him three times
but there's something
in his makeup that makes me think he is confident
there is something that I think he can
kind of like have that QB mentality
of like next down like yeah I threw
three incompletes but now I'm about to
get this pass completed on fourth down
he feels like the type to be able to do that
but we're going to find out because Alex Pereira is a bad boy
he's a really bad boy
I can't wait
I cannot wait for this fight to officially go down
I'll say it this way
there's a lot of fighters who if they were in here on their fourth try I wouldn't even like give a shot to I think that that's it and I don't think Israel Adasanya is one of those fighters now is he going to get it done that's that's the million dollar question and the odds reflect that but I don't think he's he's dead in the water by any means just by by nature of the mental aspect of this what did you make of the song selection from Israel Adasanya I thought yeah I don't know sort of eight mile mashup and
And that is not what happened.
That's definitely, I'm sure,
something he'll explain in the Post-Fight Press Conference
as way deeper than any of us been understand.
Oh, speaking of, as we just saw Israel Adasanya walk out,
it's become a tradition now that this is our second
Israel Adesania watch party.
I mean, we give them the power here,
the Kill Cliff, the Ignite the Tequila Kiwi.
Okay.
I mean, Israel Ad Asi, I'm a big fan of these.
Rick, have you had one of these?
I haven't, no.
I mean, they've been in the control room
for about six months now
since the last time as he fought,
but I guess you just haven't gotten around to it.
Cheers to that,
cheers to another great watch party,
and here comes Alex Pereira.
Maybe the most,
I love how he just locks eyes with the camera,
maybe the most intimidating man in all of sports.
If he walked out to eight mile right now,
that would have been the best.
Is this one of the hardest things?
Oh, you know what?
That would have been great.
Mental warfare?
I like that.
Is this one of the hardest things in all of MMA right here?
I love it.
Harder stops.
I mean, this is like,
absolutely it's cold-blooded i love it also i haven't had one of these since the last watch
writing these are delicious they are delicious do you think alex perrera's like heartbeat ever goes
over like 80 beats per minute there is anything that could get him uh when he came in studio
and uh you know i i got a picture with him i think he got pretty nervous yeah i'm sure he was
he was stoked yeah if you were wearing that suit i was about to say if you were dressed like that
it would have been 120 look at the whew
Oh.
The crowd is a...
It seems very pro.
He's knocked out of a cameraman.
That would be something.
Rick, what did you think of Gilbert Burns, Jorge Mazadol, and Mazadol calling it a career?
Yeah, uneventful.
I mean, I'll be honest.
It wasn't a great performance by Burns.
I thought he had an opportunity in the third to really finish Mosvedal and didn't take it.
And if you're sitting there trying to make the case that Colby Covington should,
shouldn't be the one to get the fight.
Like, that was your chance.
He did what he needed to do.
Would I like to see a finish there?
Mazvedal was done in round three.
And hell of a career for Jorge Mazvedal.
Literally nothing left to do.
The guy's run in 2019 was magic.
He's made a lot of money.
I'm happy to see him going out.
Israel is the B side, man.
Been a minute since he had to do this.
He's the one waiting for Pereira to come out.
Pereira looking good in the champ shorts
earned himself a monster logo
when he came in the studio here to the
MMA hour he was monstered out
hoodie had everything
yeah take it
absolutely are you kidding me
if Kilcliffe
gave us a sponsorship I'd have it on every piece of clothing
I love this fight
God I love this fight
Are you kidding me dude my heart's beaten
Last time we did this were you on
I think you were on last time right
That's the um the drink
I wasn't because I was in
I was in
yes you were that you were at the arena
Shaheen was there wasn't he
wow
that's right you were there
what's gonna happen
what is gonna happen I don't know
I don't know I'm nervous
but isn't that isn't that unique
isn't that interesting in a in a fight
in a series rather where the guys down 3 oh
we're still kind of like I don't know what's gonna happen
I think that's special he's the favorite
and he's the favorite yeah mind boggling to me
I feel like that's special
Like this, people have been quick to call this not a rivalry.
In my opinion, this is a rivalry.
Yeah.
This is still a rivalry.
I understand what they're saying.
All right.
I don't know the tail of the tape.
By definition, but like, they're such close fights.
Yeah.
There it is.
Lose shorts for Izzy.
Seeing Pereira at 7 and 1 compared to Adasania.
That's where our graphics department for getting the shorts change last minute.
I mean, Izzy threw him a curve.
ball and they just knocked it out of the park.
Shout out to the graphics.
Amazing.
Past team in the world.
I mean, really, he's great stuff.
Both 6'4.
Izzy got the one inch reach.
Here we go.
It's time.
Bruce Buffer getting everybody flat.
I'm on pens and needles right now.
I think we see a more aggressive autosania
and I think things get crazy.
Rick, how do you grade Bruce Buffer's suit jacket tonight?
I mean, when you're looking at Connor Birx, like, that's like a C plus.
I said, I said Bruce Buffer should be,
he should be proud because he has the,
second nicest suit jacket in all of
MMA related content this evening.
So, I mean,
it's a good place to be for him.
Yeah, it's nice. It's nice to, you know,
have a silver medal.
What did you compare it to?
I want to know if Rick knows what you were talking about.
I said,
it's like Bruce Buffers wearing the curtain
on the Merv Griffin set.
There you go.
I got to tell you,
even I'm too young for that one.
There was a Seinfeld episode
with the Merv Griffin set.
I've seen a few episodes
Kramer found the Merv Griffin set in a dumpshare.
I know what you're talking about.
There we go.
There we go.
Frank's old.
We got it.
Way to save him.
You're the same way to save him.
I think you're a little bit older, but not by much.
I mean, Pereira is just like he looks exactly how he looked the last fight.
Just completely stone-faced, like just unfazed, fantastic.
There's been a lot of like body language doctors on both of them this week.
and I just feel like
it really means nothing.
Yeah, of course it means nothing.
Brerer just stands there.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Woo!
This is Glover over his shoulder.
Big Five Feels is an understatement.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm hype.
Remember in New York
when it was coming off Dustin and Michael?
I can't lie.
I wish we were coming off of Fontianas
because I was hype.
Oh, we didn't come off that. We came off of, uh, Zhang.
Oh, that was a great little too, though. That was a great one.
281 was a fantastic card. Banger.
That was a good card.
Thank you, Mike. Look at that. Correction department right away.
Here we go. I mean, if out of Sani is anything, he is a showman.
Yeah, he knows what he's doing when that cams on.
Always, bro. He knows what he's doing.
And Pereira is not even going to, like, move a muscle.
A little bounce in the step.
Wow.
Showing you wrong.
We're going to get any maybe a knuckles for the bow and arrow?
Just do it.
No.
Bruce gets too close.
Pereira might just punch him.
It feels like Pereira is about to look over.
But nah.
He might, yeah.
Nah, he's just all business, bro.
He's here to retain and move on.
Forget a little fist.
A little fist bow.
He went down.
The tattoo.
The tattoo.
is sick with the kickboxing belt on the other arm.
Yeah, it is pretty sick.
The updated tattoo is badass.
Oh, man.
Whoa, Nelly, here we go.
I mean, if we had a fight with so much on the line,
there's only one man who can ref it.
It's got to be Big Dan.
How do you feel about that?
Frank.
As the official referee grader, how do we feel about this?
Dan's going to be very fair.
Okay, good.
Blue shorts, I love it.
Love the switchup for Izzy.
Oh man, here we go.
Here we go.
Shortest fight ever?
I doubt it.
According to jet, it could be.
It's almost broken that.
And it's broken that.
We had a dream that, though, Frank.
Yep.
I appreciate your gusto.
Exploring the octagon.
Leg kick.
The size of Pereira's legs compared to Adisania's.
They're like two different human beings.
They are two different.
human like like two different
weight classes of human beings two different species
of a creature
Frank's hilarious right now
oh my gosh
what do you think the nerves are like for
otisanya right now
I think he's okay in that department but I think once
Alex lands a few that's when
then that's when it starts to tighten up
you know starts putting that pressure I just
don't want to see out of sonya with his back up against the cage
because this is the fight where
this is this is the fight where this is the
where out of sonya wants it right where
Alex is standing still is he's able to
take him from the outside
oh man I'm just waiting for something to pop off
I mean if you if you remember
round one Alex was coming for blood
oh for sure and
and that threw Izzy off and then he kind of felt
got his groove
Izzy lands another hard calf kick
this has like it's not
exactly the same but this kind of has
I don't know why but it's got like
steep A Francis
one vibes with this first round
where it's so cautious
but
Pereir could just throw something
I could be over in two seconds.
Yeah, it's that coiled spring feeling, right?
It's like this thing's ready to pop any moment.
The thing about Alex, though, is he carries that power
five, he could go ten rounds and he still got that pop.
Of course. It never escapes.
I like the low kicks.
I expected this to be a little more aggressive, but yeah, you're right.
Me too. I expected a little more aggression
If the fight plays out here, this is 50-45, is he, right?
Like, that's, it's just what he does.
But Alex, if Alex starts pressing, that's where it gets interesting.
The thing is, he doesn't have to be in a rush.
He knows he's got five rounds to do this.
Of course, yeah.
He's live all the time.
Not a sprint.
I just don't think Izzy wants to do this for five rounds.
This?
I think you want to do this for five rounds all day.
He's kind of, I mean, I think you just got to try to get him out of there.
This is not the Rocky, this is not the Rocky three game plan I thought we'd see from it.
where he just gets after it.
I don't know.
We're still early on in this fight, man.
But we got 23 minutes to go.
Very moving forward.
Yeah, which you don't want to...
You don't want that for Izzy.
I got to say, I think Izzy's movement
has been way better this fight than the first...
than the first MMA one.
I really liked how he looks here.
Body kick from Adisania.
Also, look how calm Eugene looks.
Yeah, but he's like Alex.
Like, he's not going to get up down, whatever.
Oh, yeah, Eugene Berman.
First, I thought you were calling Murgliata, Eugene, Dan.
Come on, Frank.
You usually have the first letter, right.
I just called you, Dan.
Yeah, you always have the first letter right.
Except D is E is one-off from D.
A lot of kicks.
Yeah, a lot of kicks.
Very going to the calf, out of sign, has been upper legs.
It's incredibly tough round to score so far.
I got it, Izzy.
I was going to say anybody feeling strongly one way or the other?
Is he?
You say Izzy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Alex hasn't done much of anything.
Izzy's been the one pressing him against the cage, landing the kicks.
He's moving, Alex is moving forward a lot less than he did in that first MMA fight.
And Izzy's the one controlling the center a lot more.
Already landing 13 leg kicks.
I don't think he landed that many.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For sure.
And if you remember, leg kicks are what caused Izzy to do that back roll last time that led to the finishing sequence.
somebody was saying this to me and I wasn't really able to assess it so they said is he looks a little thicker this week what do you think
he looked the same to me but yeah he looks the same to me he looks a little more muscular I will say that
defined yeah yeah preero investing in those calf kicks man not not the most eventful first round all right round one in the books
Yeah, actually it is a little tougher than I thought
Is he was better early, but
That's a tough one
I'll say it, but I don't know
Did we get a third white
Why tripping?
Where did that come from?
How much prime have you, right?
Maybe it's the out of Sonia
I didn't know, but I didn't know.
10-9 Izzy. Oh yeah, that only had two. Wow.
That's a great line.
I'm going to go
I'm going to go 10-9 Izzy as well
Rick, what do you go?
Not insane confidence.
10-9 is he?
Not insane confidence.
But very close around.
I mean, the leg kicks of Pereira are definitely going to be costly down the stretch if he continues to land those.
I don't think this is the fight Alex wins.
I think he needs to be a little more aggressive.
I know.
It's just that always being live for a knockout at any moment is obviously a huge benefit.
It's powerful.
You talk about the focus that those five minutes require.
They're saying on the broadcast, Alex saying into his corner
that he's already getting the leg of Adisana.
I'm sure he has.
But those light kicks were kind of like an under...
Like an underrated element of that first fight.
Isri was...
Izzy's just so good with the poker face.
Yeah.
Like, he just makes it seem like nothing hurts him,
but it just can't not.
hurt him.
These kicks, barely mixed for Brera.
And now he's, now he's pressure him.
Out of Sanya.
Oh, now he's going for something.
Oh, Perry getting after it now.
Oh, now the swing.
The coil is starting to, I don't like
Otisania being up against the cage for this.
Oh, now they're really both throwing.
Israel standing in the pocket with him.
You might as well.
I love it.
This is kind of what I wanted to see from Izzy.
Just chuck them.
Move forward and.
Nice body shot from Izzy there.
Oh, I'm nervous.
watching this.
This is where overhand right barely missed.
Upercum misses.
Just missing the left hand.
Oh,
nice.
Honestly,
one, two.
And it kicked to the body.
It felt like he was trying to hit that roll away like he hit against Whitaker.
Like,
just right there.
God.
Got kind of crazy there for a second,
boys.
Got a little crazy there.
The level of striking for MMA between these two dudes is just insane.
Yeah.
Incredible.
but I'm glad to see like Izzy's willing to just go into that fire
if he has to.
He's got to leave it all on the table, man.
He can't stand against the fence and just let Pereira tee off on him.
He was in a rough spot and he was like, I'm going to try and finish it too.
Yeah.
Let's go.
And he's moving forward.
And when Izzy's moving forward, he has success.
That's the thing.
Once Alex is moving forward, that's where he's having.
Oh, man.
Nice left.
Dan with the eagle eye.
Dan's off.
I'm glad he's looking good
you're right Frank you're right
I mean he's he's looking very closely
right hand from his head
feels like they're opening up
a lot more this round
oh that was a little sneaky right hand
from Adesania
I like the way he's working
in the kicks of the body
right it's just every other second
though just going for those calf kicks
it's a really smart strategy
that's the second time that head kick has come
very close to Haleigh for Pereira
Pereira at the Jazz
Izzy answers to the jab of his own?
I mean, Alex could beat those legs up for three, four rounds and then find the finish.
Just like he did.
He never knows.
Just like you did in the last fight.
Now, Izzy talked about wrestling.
He hasn't shot a single take-down yet.
I mean, that could have just been talk.
Yeah.
I mean.
This is.
Oh, see, there you go.
Move forward.
Nice combination.
But here's the problem for Izzy.
He's not moving as much as he was.
he's going straight backwards.
He's falling into the things.
Oh,
I like the body combination right there from Izzy.
No matter what happens.
Pereira is throwing calf kicks out there.
Yep.
Oh, my gosh.
That head kick is crazy.
Nice right hand over the top from Izzy.
But you're right, Rick.
Seeing Pereer stock forward the way that he is compared to how he tried to do in the first,
it's quite visible.
The calf kicks are adding up.
The pressure is adding.
up.
Oh, they're chucking him.
That's what Izzy has to do.
He cannot, like, stand with his back against the fence
and just take shots.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
That Kafka from Pereira hurt him.
And then he landed a nice left hook over the top.
Ooh, I like the body shot.
Oh, man.
Izzy can't be in here.
Oh, no.
Oh, big right hand.
Oh, Izzy!
It's over!
It's over!
It's over!
It's over!
It's over!
He's real lot of Sonia!
They're new!
Man!
Let's go!
Oh!
Under four and a half!
And we get the chat, bitch!
Shout out to the chat!
Hey!
What do you want now?
Oh, God!
Oh, wow.
Let's go!
Wow.
One more for good.
Just for good measure, baby.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
He colded him.
Wow.
Can we watch it again?
Can we watch it again, please?
That was incredible.
He put him out.
How good this man?
How good does this man feel right now?
He's like, wow, that was impressive.
I made that stoppage.
Wow.
Holy cow.
Shout out to the chat.
Chad nailed it.
The chat, dude, the chat turned $15 into $150 for me tonight.
Shout out to the chat.
For the chat.
That's that.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry, Frank.
They turned 50.
Yeah.
Chat, chat.
Yeah.
Wow.
All week, he said, what if I do it better?
What if I do it better?
And it's hard.
It's hard to.
Look at this replay.
Look at that replay.
It wobbles him.
And then just finishes them out, bro.
Boom, that hammer fist.
We all, we're all, I was thinking like, uh-oh.
Wow, that right hand was so nasty.
Boom.
And I love.
I love him pulling out the arrows.
Oh, he pulls out the arrow.
So trilogy, when is that happening?
International.
Oh, he put him out bad, man. Wow.
Yeah.
He put him out real bad.
Yeah.
Ain't happening anytime soon.
That was a bad knockout.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Shush.
Is he?
That was nuts.
The guy.
Easy.
Oh, man.
The dog collar made sense, didn't it?
All week.
Yeah, the dog collar, but just like,
you got to respect.
Well, you have to respect about Israel Adasanya.
Is in that fight, he was prepared to lose, too.
He was prepared to lose as much as he was prepared to win.
And he was in the same spot he was in in that first fight and was like,
I'm willing to
I'm willing to trade here
Oh my gosh
That was incredible
That's what you need
I think that's
That was incredible
I cannot believe that just happened
Oh my gosh
Trilogy me
It's gonna happen
I mean
UFs how I give Dan his hand
By knockout
No he's got the belt back
Incredible bro
Incredible dude
Fuck y'all talking about the man
Silence them all
Incredible. That was incredible, bro.
Has anyone ever felt a greater sense of relief than Israel, Adasanya, right now?
I think he's got to be feeling pretty good right now.
Tim Simpson in there, shout out.
Tim, yes.
We got Tim, we got Ash, you got the whole crew in there.
Okay, Ad Sania, commandears the mic.
Yes, literally.
He's talking about the happiness that he feels.
That's what I'm saying.
The relief that he felt.
That was, this is pretty cool.
Oh, there we go.
There we go.
Motivation.
I thought he was just going to shit on everyone.
You would never get to be a guy.
He's going to do shit on everyone.
Can we, can we get a drink of the, of the Kill a Crew Kiwi, the Israelada Sonia, drink?
There we go.
Let's go.
Izzy is motivating the world right now.
And no.
He's back.
It's kind of happened.
Didn't have to wrestle once.
Didn't have to wrestle once.
What will they say now?
Rick, what will they say now?
I mean, that's what I want to know.
What will they say now?
Wow.
That's a bar.
That's a bar, bro.
I don't care what you say.
You know, I can say whatever else is corny.
That was a bar.
I mean, Izzy's the best at this.
He's so good.
I said, revenge is sweet.
I got a sweet tooth.
Let's go.
That was crazy.
That was crazy.
Coming through.
Shout out to the chat, man.
Yeah.
Izzy's just so good at this.
Putting Alex over as a monster.
Let's go.
And then putting himself over as the Monsia Slayer.
This is ready.
Casey O'Neill.
Casey O'Neill's up there.
There's Terrence McKinney.
He didn't know.
Oh, there's Hamza Atchimae.
See you soon.
There it is.
I mean, it's the Pereira trilogy, right?
Oh, God.
100%.
Yeah.
100%.
That's what we're doing.
In four months again?
Five months.
I'm cool with that, Frank.
Nah.
Nah,
let's put some space between it.
I would do it in July, honestly.
But that just seems too short.
Wow, that's so soon.
It's too short.
That's so soon.
Now, in a perfect world, if, like, Pereira was super healed,
which, who knows with that guy, he might be healed by tomorrow.
No, let's take some time.
You know, people were talking about early stoppage for Izzy,
and, you know, this one was.
No, he was out cold.
Hammers.
This was the nail in the coffin.
Oh my gosh, bro.
He, like, if you watch that replay, dude, he is standing in the pocket, like, trading with this dude.
Big Dan, a little slow there.
A little slow there, Frankie.
It's the, uh, he knew what to do.
He knew what to do?
Just let an unconscious man take a ferocious hammer fist.
It's the thing he was doing.
It's the thing he was doing in round five of the first fight.
Well, he wasn't throwing back with the intention that he threw back here.
He planted his feet and landed those.
God, he just killed so many narratives.
He's never going to beat him mentally.
You know, he can't overcome it.
Israel-A-Sanya has no power.
He can't finish anybody.
He just knocked out a dude who, like, walks through punches.
Like all these things.
He just went to the pocket with one of the hardest hitters in the entire division and knocked them out.
He was going to have to wrestle him.
All these things.
He just like obliterated it.
Yeah.
What a performance.
Wow.
That was bad ass.
That sure was.
What a rivalry this is, dude.
Yep.
Yeah, tell me it ain't
rivalry now
How about now?
It's a rivalry now
Let's go, bro
Look at him, man
A man, just living in the moment
That's insane
Well, there we go
Israel is on you
Here's what's so crazy
And why I love MMA
There's a real chance
If Alex picks his shots
A little bit better
That that moment against the cage
turns into a replay
Of the first fight too
Are you kidding me?
That's like so amazing
That's what that was going to happen, dude
I thought it was about to happen.
I love this.
Like, I really thought it was about to happen.
But he hit too low.
Wow.
I think Pereyris kind of saw that moment happening again, too.
And then he got punched in the face real hard.
And that was it.
I mean, if we go back, I think it was it was late round one or early round two.
We had a very similar exchange.
Alex was flurrying.
He had him in trouble on the cage.
He started to plant his feet.
He started throwing.
And Izzy showed up and fired back.
Like, it was clear.
He was looking for that.
He was looking for that shot.
And he got it.
Oh, he's killing the media now.
He's killing.
Oscar Ross.
I mean, bro, dude.
But this man got, dude, he got a lot of hate this week.
I would be doing the same exact thing.
No, nothing?
He got no hate.
He got some.
But the hate that he got, like, I'm sure he didn't.
take that too seriously.
I mean, I think
pretty much everybody on our staff
picked Izzy, despite all of that.
Is there a better winner
than Israel about the actual breakdown?
I'm just talking about like just people hating on him.
You know, we talk about some of the good losers
in MMA, but who's a better winner than Israel?
When he wins, it's a goddamn celebration.
Like the dude is dancing out of the arena right now.
He also doesn't lose that much.
So he's probably, he's probably had reps.
but God, when he celebrates, he really celebrates.
And any narrative negative that you put out there, winning changes at all.
And that's what you did.
And when you win like that.
That was crazy.
Wow.
That was crazy.
That was wild.
What a way to end it.
What a way to end.
They're so perfect for each other, too.
They're so perfect for each other.
I mean, we're going to see a third one in the UFC.
There's no doubt.
They're so perfect for each other.
You got guys like, you know,
Canineer and Vatori and guys who all their great fighters
and their top of the middleweight division
are just not going to be able to push Izzy in that way.
They're not going to be able to get them to this level.
And Alex just has that.
Alex, like, you can pull this out of Izzy.
God.
God.
July's too soon, but yeah, let's just do it.
Let's just hurry up.
And I'm the Mr. Noa Media rematch,
but like let's run this forever.
Let's do this forever.
Entirely down.
Entirely done.
You need to give Alex some time off.
Because that first like, you know, as quick as the turnaround was for Izzy, that's a quick turnaround for Alex too.
And that first fight wasn't exactly like, you know, a walk in the park.
I think let's put a little distance between this third one.
Let's both let them both heal up real nice and do something late in the year.
November, December.
I like that.
Yeah, I mean, you could go right back to the MSG in November, like, you know,
scene of the crime.
I'm down for that.
Yeah, scene with crime.
Or just holding until December where we have like a really good card.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like if, so a card that feels like the end of the year card.
So we don't have to watch see Jamal.
I mean, Magamannik Alive and Jan Bolovich fight for the interim.
Yes, yes, yes.
I mean, I think everybody, if you said trilogy,
they would say sign me up.
Yeah.
This is the first time in a minute that Hamzaa Chamaev is like,
yo, I want next.
And I'm kind of like, maybe not.
Like, I don't know if I need to.
Like, I don't think we need that.
Could you imagine if they do this trilogy in M.M.A.
within like a 365 day span and like each fight delivers.
Like, it's a third fight was incredible.
Like, this could just like, they could just close a chapter on this.
If they do it before the years out as just like,
One of the best just like rivalries, trilogies.
Like they could really do this perfectly if the third fight goes well.
Yeah.
It's like the one that I've pointed to many times.
Like, I don't love the immediate rematch, but when you've got Figurato and Moreno, you do it.
When you've got Izzy and Alex, you do it.
This is the situation where you do it.
You just let them run it.
I'm with you.
That was crazy, dude.
I need to watch that replay like 18 times.
So crazy.
I mean, dude, he's, he is taking, like, he, like, ate some big shots, man.
That looked, that first one that they showed looked like the exchange in the early second round or late first.
They're showing the replay right now.
When he starts covering up and he eats the knee and then he eats a big left hand and then that's when he reacts.
Like, I thought it was done for him, bro.
I cannot believe that.
Well, that shot.
I can't believe he was finally the one putting him out, dude.
That was crazy.
The right hand that Izzy lands to first rock him.
if he doesn't land that,
that left hand from Alex was coming.
That left hand was about to land.
The fact that he immediately went to the arrows.
He's been ready for that.
Nobody celebrates better than Izzy.
Nobody wins better than Izzy.
I can't imagine how he's feeling right now
back in the locker room.
The relief.
Everything was on the line, bro,
and he stepped up and delivered.
That was just crazy, man.
What a sick fight, dude.
What a sick fight, dude.
That's crazy.
I love that both the fights delivered so well.
Both the fights delivered, like, insane moments.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Yep.
And there's Berns and Mazadol.
Kind of the low spot of the main card, I guess, if we're being honest.
Yeah, I mean, look, I'm okay with Jorge getting one in Miami as like, okay, you know.
I mean, of course, yeah.
You can't blame the booking, but, like, the fight kind of stunk.
Yeah.
I'm putting more on Gilbert than I am on Jorge.
I'm putting something on Jorge there.
Gilbert had him dead to rights in round three.
Legit.
How much better would it have been in how he got the finish?
I was hoping for like a little bit of fight out of Jorge.
Yeah.
I just don't think there's as much himself.
He just didn't have it in him.
It's just not there anymore.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, he admitted as much.
And I agree.
I think that's the perfect time to hang it up.
Yeah.
It's not like he was going to get on some great winning streak or anything.
So just do it in front of the Miami crowd.
Yeah.
God, I would have loved to see Jorge versus Leon, man.
I would have loved that fight.
Yeah.
Alas.
Now we get the fight that the UFC all wants and the whole world apparently wants.
The real king of Miami.
The real king of Miami, Colby Covington, for the title.
Maybe that'll go down in July.
Who knows?
Maybe that'll be the main event for International Fight Week.
God, Izzy's just back like he never left, right?
Like he's the kid, like, what's, like, he's probably bad.
He's probably in a better spot now.
Dude, if he, if they do a trilogy and he beats Alex again, it's just like that first one was just a hiccup.
It was just a bump in the road.
I think you're right, Mike.
Because if he won that first fight against Alex, the narrative would have been they rushed them and he was never that good.
Alex sucks.
Like, Alex was just a manufactured product of the UFC.
The fact that he won it and then is he got the revenge, I think let people know Alex is legit.
And now it means even more.
Like, I think he's actually elevated.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's just over in a much bigger way now.
He slayed the beast.
Like, it made...
Wow.
Just made the story much more compelling that he got beat, he got stopped.
There's still questions whether the stoppage was early or not.
And then he goes and just colds him.
Coles him, bro.
Coles him, bro.
Coles him.
Yeah, iced his ass out.
And Alex is going to come back and be just as competitive.
given the next one too.
Yeah, of course.
This takes nothing.
Well, it takes obviously the belt and, you know,
finally losing to Israel out of Sonia away from him.
But, like, I mean, he's still an incredible competitor.
And the next fight will be lined closely,
and it will be a super competitive fight.
Yeah, for sure.
All right.
Well, I think we're, we've done it.
We've done it, man.
Palm trees are still up.
They survived.
The Herd King.
What a card?
That was a fun card, man.
Rob Font.
Is he?
Rob Font, getting it done.
Go.
And if you are not UFC 287 doubt yet, we are live on this here channel.
Not this link, but a different link.
Press conference is going live right now.
Jose is in Miami.
It's not going to be your typical press conference show.
You're just going to get the meat and potatoes of the matter here from the tastemakers,
probably hear from Dana White,
and get everybody's thoughts on what transpired in Miami.
And then we'll have a post-fight show a little bit later on.
And then AK and I will have on to the next one coming up tomorrow.
So that's it.
Any final thoughts?
Man, Israel, Asana, that's all I got.
This dude.
This freaking dude.
Sums it up well.
Well said.
Fun card.
Hope they go back to Miami soon.
This freaking dude, indeed.
Well, that is it for the best dressed man in MMA media.
Bruce Bob for a close second.
Shout out.
Glad to have you on board with me, Bruce.
There we go.
For New York, Rick.
For all the guys in the back, hope you enjoyed your big party.
You guys are great.
Sorry, the chat bat did better than you guys did.
And that's it, everybody.
So thank you for watching.
You watch Press Conference right now.
Good night, everybody.
That's annoying.
What?
You're a muffler.
You don't hear it?
Oh, I don't even notice it.
I usually drown it out with the radio.
How's this?
Oh, yeah.
Way better.
