Watch along with MMAFighting.com
as the UFC heads back to Newark, New Jersey,
for a pay-per-view event
with a fascinating headliner
for the Bantamway Championship
as the Funkmaster.
Al Jermaine Sterling defends his title
against the former Bantamweight and Flyweight King,
the returning Triple C, Henry Zahudo.
In the co-made event, it's five rounds
in a pivotal high-stakes matchup in the Walterweight Division
as Gilbert Doreno Burns competes for the second straight
pay-per-view event against the surging.
The Law!
Remember the name, Muhammad.
Live from the box studios in beautiful New York City.
This is the U.S.
UFC 288 watch party.
Welcome, everybody. We are back.
Welcome to the UFC 288 watch party here on MMA Fighting.com.
I am Mike Heck.
That, I mean, just jerseied out.
Jerseyed out. We got the Bada Bing. We got the devils, though they're struggling.
I mean, we're feeling good. I got two sandwiches in me.
I'm in shock, though, right now.
I can't believe Drew Dover just got knocked out.
I can't believe it. I thought that chin was going to stand the test of time.
I cannot believe this.
It kind of did.
Joe Rogan kept saying, you know, he's complaining about the stoppage,
but when he stood up, he was walking around all wobbly.
When they showed it on the replay, Dober, like, protested immediately off of his back,
and as soon as he stood up, he was jumping around, dancing around,
yeah, he was bloodied up, and that was a nasty knockup by Matt Rivola,
but I kind of see where Drew was coming from.
That dude is able to withstand a ton of punishment.
Oh, yeah.
And hokey pokey herb typically would give guys with that kind of savvy,
a little bit of an extra time, but who knows?
Like, normally, I would prefer a fight get stopped a little sooner than later,
but in this case, with a guy like Drew Dober and that chin of his,
I don't know.
I might have let him take a couple more shots.
I mean, that's an unbelievable thing to add to Matt Provolta's resume,
which is now shaping up.
I mean, what was it?
A few watch parties ago, I don't think it was on the main card
or we were on Air Force or the Azteer knockout.
I mean, people were doubting him going into that.
He was a pretty big underdog in this one.
I mean, the Steam Rolla.
is rolling right now, man.
I love it.
I really cannot believe that first round, too.
First round.
Incredible.
Incredible stuff from Favola.
Shout out to the steam roller.
Did it in front of the home crowd too.
Now it's on Aljo to finish the job for Sarah Longo.
Absolutely.
I mean, a pretty fun prelims overall.
Kennedy and Zichuku, nasty standing.
Oh my gosh.
First, if I'm not mistaken, first submission as a
pro. I mean, shout out to him. Working on his grappling chops. And I mean, he's huge for that division.
So things are looking up for him right now as well. The pressure that man puts on his unbelievable
Chaos Williams and Rolando Badea. Dude, Rolando Bodea got my respect tonight, dude. He ate those
punches from Chaos Williams who has that, that lights out power. I really thought that was
going to be a first round finish for Chaos Williams, especially with Badea making his UFC debut.
I mean, that's a tough debut to make. And you can make the argument that he won on the cards.
I mean, you could seriously make that argument.
That was really impressive from him.
It seems like he's worked on his striking defense.
He was getting the counters off on chaos.
That was a really impressive performance by him.
Yeah, 100% not a robbery, though.
I saw some people throwing that R word out.
I don't know about robbery.
First round, I thought Chaos won.
Third round, I thought clearly it was Badoia round.
Second was close.
Yeah.
I could see it either side.
So great fight nonetheless.
And Badoia, even though he lost on the cards,
won in a lot of people's hearts.
So his stock rose.
Tacos up for sure.
If that's your debut, no doubt.
Verna Jandaroba, big win over Marina Rodriguez.
She might find herself in the top five in the UFC's Strawweight Division.
Parker Porter, taking another step closer to that rematch with John Jones for the heavyweight title.
Would you book it?
John, stop being a coward, bro.
Stop ducking Parker Porter.
It's time for the rematch.
We knew going into it, the fight with Braxton Smith was going to be a title of Eliminator.
The fact that he was able to pull it off under the bright lights of Newark, New Jersey.
I mean, huge for the guy's stock.
It's time to give him a fight for the title.
I mean, problem solved.
We do John Jones versus Steve Mietich, November, Madison Square Garden,
co-main event, five rounds, Paco Porter, Sergey Patton.
Yes, now we're talking.
And we will need all 25 minutes of that one.
I can assure you that.
All jokes aside, I mean, shout out to Parker Porter, man.
He was having a tough stretch and getting knocked out in the first round just three months ago
to bounce back like that.
I know Braxton Smith was making his debut.
but, I mean, it looks like he was in better shape than normal.
That was such an aesthetically pleasing fight when they were in the octagon.
I mean, it was all downhill from there.
We knew that.
But, man, it was a joy to watch.
Shout out to Parker Porter.
The Pride of CT, the 860, rep in Hartford, Connecticut.
I'm watching Parker Porter fight for, like, over a decade.
I was at the John Jones fight.
Oh, my God.
Melted in a matter of seconds.
I'm assuming you have the ticket framed above your bed frame.
I know.
I was planning to go. I got a call like 15 minutes before.
Oh my God.
From a friend of mine who's like, hey, we're going to go to the fights, and I got an extra ticket
you want to come. I was like, all right. And the fight happened to be like 10 minutes from my
parents' house. And we went and who knew that I'd be watching the greatest fighter of all time,
get in there and knock out the second greatest fighter of all time in Parker Porter.
I thought you were going to say, who knew I was watching the greatest fighter of all time,
get his rare loss to John Jones.
And, I mean, Parker Porter did the damn thing, but we had two violent knockouts to start off the night.
Claudea Ribero and Iqram Alaskero, holy smokes.
That's, like, dude, it's, you know, you never want to see, like, I mean, obviously, you do want to see knockouts, but, like, you don't want it to see, be, like, too vicious.
That Phil Haas knockout was vicious, where you're kind of worried for him after it happens.
I mean, and it just landed so perfectly.
Phil Haas doesn't have the best chin in the world,
but man, he just landed it right on the chin,
and Haas was just...
You know when he can't stand up to get the hand raised or not?
Like, you know that it's not good.
So you're...
Obviously, fans of the M.A.R.
know you guys have the parlay pals.
Yeah.
Two of the legs crossed off, right.
Well, is it the parlay boys, Frank?
It's the parley boys.
Remember, we had a discussion.
So Juliana Paine came on,
shouted us out, said the parley boys
instead of the parley pals.
I thought the rule was if we took Giuliana Pena and she won, we would officially change the name.
I mean, that's what you guys want to do fine, but in my heart, it's Parlay Boys.
All right. Frank, number one Giuliano Pena fan.
Mysterious Frank.
Facts.
She can just come in and just change names willy-nilly, you know, do change all our branding.
No, I'm with that. I'm with that.
So how about we do a little chat bet?
Okay, Frank.
I'm just going to say that.
Producer Frank here.
We're not going to mess around either.
I love it.
I think we got a good one.
the first fight of the night,
Return of Cron Gracie,
ice cream Cron?
Ice cream Cron? Is it Ice Cron?
Ice cream Cron?
Yes.
Ice cream Cron.
Ice cream Cron.
Ice cream Cron.
Sorry.
Cron Gracie.
Listen, I did a bet on Cron Gracie by submission.
You want to know why?
Why?
Because I read his dad's book.
And yeah, that's pretty much it.
Listen,
read his dad's book.
Get you familiar with the family.
Like, it really makes you think they're like just a family of badass.
is, obviously submission specialists.
So, Chrome Gracie versus Charles Rodin.
This is history.
We have not done the chat bet on the opening fight.
I love it.
I love it.
Let's do it.
First time for everything.
Yes.
Normally it's like the second fight, but the second fight is Mavzar of Loya
versus Diego Lopez.
Yeah, that's a tough one.
Respect to Diego Lopez and that incredible hairstyle of his,
but just didn't seem right to do that as the chat bet.
So we're going to do two chatbets regardless.
Regardless.
We're doing the main event as well.
Hopefully we can just make it, we can have it just roll over to the next one.
Okay, so right now you can vote on who you are picking to win the fight.
Cron Gracie or Charles Jordane, and then we'll let that roll for a few minutes.
And then once we find out which fighter gets the most votes, then we'll go by method of victory, and that will be the chapbed.
And the chap bet treated us very well.
Oh, my God.
Treated us.
I mean, yeah,
Tritius, Frank.
Yeah.
Mysterious Frank.
What else do we have playing?
We got chat bed.
We've got a Chronicles box, baby.
We are getting some autographs tonight.
I feel good.
I feel good about the results that are in this.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I hear some good stuff in here.
I hear some good stuff.
Yes, we have a lot going on.
We do have video games to play.
Yes.
We are going to sim the...
We were going to do the Jess Gunjad
versus Janjohn-on-on-Fy fight,
but for some reason, UFC 4.
Yeah, can we talk about that, please?
But Janjohnan is not in UFC 4.
That is a freaking travest thing.
Yes, I mean, what are we talking about that?
What are we doing here?
So, Belal Mohammed and Gilbert Burns are both in the game,
so that will be the fight that we will do.
Jed Michoud will then join us for the co-main event
for this five-round fight.
Jedmishu, I believe this is the No Betzbarred Chats GPT bets.
Yes, yeah, it is.
The Chad-GPT bet is Belong.
Muhammad, we enter it into the computer, the computer pumps out the results, and that's what we go with. So far, I think, I believe the results are four and two. So there he is. Do we see any limp, any unevenness there?
I mean, the way his stride is, yeah. It feels like it, or is he messing with this? It's hot, it's hotly debated in the Twitter streets right now. The conspiracy theorists, we've got our tinfoil hats on. There's been some pictures, the videos from the ceremonial weigh-ins. Is he limping? It kind of looks like he is, but like, is he trolling? See, this is what?
but not limping looks like.
Gilbert Burns is definitely not limping.
God, he looks good.
He looks good.
Like some Bruno Mars vibes going here.
Like we got the hair looks great.
I love the suit.
Looks like a man fighting on his third pay-per-view card
of 2023 and it's only May.
It's only the first week of May.
Yeah, and he looks cool as a cucumber.
Blal looks a little bit nervous.
Looks a little bit nervous.
And there's Al Jermaine Sterling
who will fight Henry Suhudo in the main event.
Rob Font
UFC Bannaway contender
Rob Font
who on our last watch party
got a massive win
Adrian Yane is
You remember that Frank?
Yeah
That was a sick knockout
by Rob Font
wasn't it?
It was a sick knockout
That was a sick knockout
Frank loved that
Either way Rob Font
joining us for the main event
The number six great
Antomwait in the world
Yes
And I
From there it is
There it is
So that'll be a lot
lot of fun. We will not tell Rob
that Frank went against
the chat bet. Yeah. So
we are going to have Rob Font
react to us
reacting to
Rob Font. Which is, I mean,
history. I mean, it's a great
inception moment on the watch party.
We're going to have Rob Font watch us
watching him. So it's going to be
great moment. There is a moment where Frank
is like upset about what's
happening. I wonder if Rob's going to pick up
on that. Hey, chat bet
in. Chat bet is in. We already have
everything. Chrome.
Oh, by submission.
I mean, right, so I'm doubling up. Let's do it.
I mean, Chrome by sub. Put it in. It's a lot of exposure.
And the chat
has been known, you know, just...
What are you trying to give me to go against the chat, Frank? Are you crazy?
I was saying. I was just making sure you have all the facts.
The chat is always right.
They've been on fire. They had a great UFC 287.
All right. Chrome Gracie.
by submission.
Yep, I'm putting it in right now.
And if we hit this, we'll roll it over to the main event.
Yes.
And if not, we'll take the main event anyway.
And the pay-per-view is about to begin.
Paperview is about to begin.
I mean, the most beautiful phrase,
Dateline Newark.
Doesn't get much better than that.
Does not get much better than that.
What's the biggest question you have about the main event?
We got Algeman Sterling looking to make some history.
history in his own right, become the first fighter, Bannamway champion to defend his title three
consecutive times, to tie it overall. We've had T.J. Dilloshaw and Dominic Cruz both defend their
title three times as champion. No one has defended that title three times in a row. Could
happen tonight. Or Henry Suhudo making history in his own right, becoming the first fighter, 36 and
over, lightweight division or below for the gentleman to win a title fight. What's the biggest
question you have. How is Henry Sehudo going to look at the age of 36 years old making a return
after a three-year layoff? What is the size discrepancy really going to look like? How much
is it going to matter? I mean, Al Jermaine Sterling is not just bigger. He doesn't just have a reach
advantage. He is also just like jacked to the gills. He is in as good of shape as possible.
And he has talked multiple times in the lead up to this fight, how he is going to use his size
to his advantage. He says Henry Sehudo hasn't felt someone with the size that he's
he is. And I'm curious to see
how it happens, man, because I mean, you just can't
I would be a fool
to doubt one of the greatest
MMA fighters of all
time making a return on a three year, after
a three year layoff, because I did it
just two months ago and it did not work out
well for me. John Jones
winning by first round submission over Cyril Gahn.
Yeah, I mean, it's a really
interesting matchup. Like, even if they fought three years
ago, I would
kind of feel the same level
of intrigue. Like, I know
Suhudo is a lot of,
on a great run and after those
two losses that he had,
what he did after that was incredible,
almost unmatched in a lot of respects.
One of the best four or five fight runs we've seen
in the UFC, but still,
Aljo, underappreciated
guy, was winning a ton of fights against a lot
of really tough guys.
It could have been a tough matchup back then
for him too, so this is,
it seems like Sterling's chip
on his shoulder is larger than ever,
especially with what happened at the Wayans yesterday,
and Zahudo's team chirped
away at him and he felt really
disrespected. He was really upset about that.
That final face-off was absolute fire
and it seems like Sterling just
has more of a point to prove tonight.
Yeah, and I mean, another thing is
is like, it's just a tall
task for Sterling as well. It's going to
be interesting if he does pull it off, how he's
going to get it done because, I mean, Henry Seudo
obviously, Olympic gold medalist
wrestler. I don't know if you've heard that at all this week.
I don't know if that's been mentioned at any point throughout his career.
He does have a gold medal
in Olympic wrestling. So that's going to be
for Aljo right there, especially if he wants to get the grappling going.
One of the most, like, the typical way of Aljo winning, if he wins inside the distance,
it's by submission. Henry Suudo has never been submitted. That's a tough way to go about it.
And then the striking, over the course of five rounds, I just don't know how, like, if it just
stays standing, how he's going to constantly get the better of Sohudo. Like, it's going to be,
it's just a really interesting matchup, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.
That's where I think the size is really going to take shape in the side. It's on the feed.
because of the length, the distance that Sterling is able to capitalize on.
Suhudo obviously getting inside can make things very, very interesting.
But, yeah, I mean, there's just so many questions about this fight.
And clearly to me, and I don't know if you agree with this,
like I know Henry has had a lot to say.
His confidence levels are through the roof.
He wants to use this comeback as a way to try to win that third title and fight Alexander Volcanowski.
And if he loses this fight, all of that goes away.
So, sure, he has a lot riding on this.
but I feel like, I mean, Sterling has everything to lose in this fight
because if he loses, there ain't going to be no rematch.
Sean O'Malley is the man in waiting.
He is in the building.
And I would be stunned if Sean O'Malley is not getting sent into the octagon
to face to face with the winner of this fight.
And if it's Henry Sohudo, that is going to be a rough build.
And the UFC is going to eat that up with all the trash talk those two guys are going to have.
Yeah, I mean, I think there's absolutely no doubt.
O'Malley, no matter who wins O'Malley
is ending up in the Octagon tonight.
He's in Newark, like he went out
for the fanfare today, was
taking pictures with fans and everything, and he'll be
cage side. It's a no-brainer to bring
him in. I think
it feels like for both these guys, the plan
is, win tonight, beat Sean O'Malley, go up to
145. Yes.
So, parley pals, what was your leg
again? My leg was
Ribeiro Holmes doesn't go to a decision.
Franks was
Marina Rodriguez
Yeah, it was.
Bearing of Jandaroba over one and a half.
Great bet, Frank, went to a decision,
was never a sweat at all.
Ariel's is,
Balamahad Burns over one and a half.
And then it's New York for...
And it's New York for...
And it's New York for all the marbles.
Clearly did over one and a half
in the main event, right?
Because there's no other pick to make here.
He played Aljimate Sterling
to retain the Bantamway Championship
of the world.
He says he's confident.
I don't know if there's
bias there.
Ali Aquinas his realtor.
He's a long island guy.
I don't know if there's a bias there, but
maybe he's got a little read on Aljo
because he told me, I bet Piotr Yon in their second
fight confidently, and he told me
Aljo was going to win the whole way
all the way through the lead-up, and he was right.
So I'm just going to trust him, man.
I mean, there just seemed to be like,
I mean, there were certain prop bets that
seemed obvious that didn't really pan out,
but there were some that were like super duper obvious.
New York, Rick, is, you can't say he doesn't have gusto.
The man has lots of gusto.
Oh, I mean, you have to, to take Al Jermaine Sterling here.
But I don't have anything on that fight other than over one and a half.
So let's hope that the ball ball, Burns, gets us there.
And so we can be cheering on the parley pals to get it done in the main event.
Absolutely.
So chat bet is about to happen.
Crone Gracie's return about to happen.
Maybe we should play a little UFC 288 trivia, gentlemen.
Oh, I'm with it.
What do we think?
Frank, you down?
I had to step away, what?
I thought you were already heading home
for the night, Frank.
I was trying to.
I'm literally in the elevator.
Fair enough.
Do you want to play some trivia
before you hop in the car and just home?
All right, so this is more of a,
just a potpourri of trivia
because with some of these matchups,
it's like so obvious how this could all play out.
So we'll do like three or four questions here,
and then we'll do three or four questions for the next fight,
and then that's how we'll do it.
So Frank, we'll start with you, buddy.
That's what I want to hear.
I kind of gave you the answer, but let's see how well you were paying attention.
True or false, a UFC ban and weight record will be broken regardless of the result of the main event tonight.
True.
You're absolutely right.
Nice and easy question.
Thank you.
Good one, Frank, good one.
Very good.
Yeah.
You were paying attention.
Connor.
So much attention.
This is an obvious one too, because we just talked about this off here.
Which fighter on the card went from the main event in their most recent fight to a prelim fight tonight?
Marina Rodriguez.
direct answer.
Nicely done.
Good job,
Frank wouldn't have gotten that.
Frank wouldn't have gotten that.
Yeah.
Frank,
how many UFC debuts were made on the card tonight?
Three, four, five, or six?
It was four.
I mean, some of them haven't happened yet.
So,
yes, overall, overall.
And I actually didn't break the answer down.
It's four.
Don't even bother Googling it.
You already know this for a fact, all right?
Yeah, four.
Are you, uh, are you?
Do you agree or disagree?
Connor.
Yeah, I'll go with Frank. Let's do four.
Let me just make sure I have this right.
Four fighters, yes.
Diego Lopez.
Rolando Bedoya.
Braxton Smith.
And Iqram Alaskaroff.
Wow, great call for him.
Great job.
I'm telling you.
So this will be the last one for this round.
Sure.
We'll start with Connor.
All right.
Connor, who has more post-fight bonuses in the UFC?
Cronin Gracie or Charles Jordane?
Jordan.
Frank.
It's totally crone.
Correct answers.
Crone Gracie?
Wow.
He has two.
Charles Jordan has one.
Wow.
I don't have a sip.
A loser aide.
Yeah, loser aide.
You're calling Ice Pop Prime loser, loser, Frank.
How is it nice and cold?
Ice cold.
Nice.
I know we love orange, french.
Frank, but ice pops up there.
Ice pop's up there, dude.
Ice pop, if you're a child,
he wants a popsicle.
Orange, if you are an adult.
And you don't want to get scurvy.
There is something nostalgic about that
that orange flavor. I don't know what it is.
Yeah, it's when you were on the pirate ship
for years.
How about this? How about this mic set up, Frank?
You know what? Oh, yeah, let's try to...
So, can we take...
Yeah, it was definitely blending in.
Both of them on. Look, for sure, blending in.
These two guys are not the same.
Mike had flies in,
time, every time for the watch party, always wearing a shirt that has somewhere for me to mount
a microphone. Now let's go over to Mr. Baseball hat. Can't even see my eyes because of the shadow.
Baggy shirt, not even fitted. I don't know why. So we don't want to hear that roughling sound.
We got to keep it on the upside of your shirt. Compared to Mike's, all right?
Your farmer's tan? There's a reason his is fitting. I got, I got, all right? There's a reason mine isn't
filling out. I've been in the gym, though, lately Frank, don't do.
I have them tailor that up for you.
I mean, but look at this though, Frank.
We've got the bottom of being shirt.
It's silly.
You're wearing the mic of shame today.
I'm sorry, I couldn't get the buttons.
Mike Heck looks like a pro.
Do I?
Should I start wearing plaid?
Should that be my thing?
Plad button downs every time?
I'll start.
I think I might make that my thing.
What?
We're in...
No one's done that.
No one's done that.
I know.
It looks great on digital cameras.
I think this is an open market
that I could monopolize.
I think we could do something real
fun for 289. Oh, I've got
some ideas for 289. That's Canada
right. We have some... Don't you
worry about that. We had some off-the-air
conversation about 289 attire
and I am excited for this.
Honestly, I have to say, I'm a little bit disappointed. We're kind of
prop light tonight. We had
the discussion. Nothing like incredibly
iconic, like signature
New Jersey.
So we're kind of like light on the props.
We're going to make up for it with 289.
I can promise you that.
You didn't bring any Wawa?
When they do U.S.C. Philly, I'll bring in Wawa.
Oh, wow.
All right.
Yeah.
We'll have the old red and white maple leaf flying this time next month.
What's the Jersey, like, delicacy?
Wawa.
It's Wawa?
Yeah.
Is there a certain...
When I think Wawa, I think Philly.
Which is weird.
All right.
I mean, we don't have to keep this debate going.
I just like...
I saw you come in with your backpack, and I'm like, oh, that's where the Wawa is.
You're going to bust it out in the middle of the watch party.
And now I'm learning, no, you didn't do that.
Also, the funniest part about, like, just blankly staying, like,
Connor, bring in some Wawa.
That's, like, being, like, what?
Like, there's so many things you can get from Wawa.
Like, that's way too broad of a statement.
Surprise me.
Do you want me to bring in cans of gasoline?
No, I thought we agreed we're going to do donuts because of, um,
what's his name?
Fighter who makes donuts.
I'm drawing a blanket.
Drew.
Drew.
Oh, Drew.
Yeah, you missed all that during his interview.
He was like, oh, I make a good donut.
And I was like, let's do wall-wad donuts.
Oh, yeah. He's a baker.
Yeah, that would have gone well.
We were, yeah, we would have been eating the donuts as he got finished.
I was too busy getting your guys dinner order together.
Which I appreciate.
Could have Frankie Edgar's pizza place.
Damn.
See, now all the ideas are coming.
That's right.
So they're doing the preview for Chrome Gracie versus Charles Jordan.
We'll ask a few more trivia questions.
We're going to be ripping packs pretty quickly tonight.
I mean, I can't wait for this.
We're going to get a couple autos.
We're going to keep a lot.
Who are we thinking?
Who's going to be the autograph in here?
Someone good.
Someone big.
I think it's going to be someone on the main card.
We're going to get someone on the main card auto.
I think you're going to get a Francis and Gano one.
Wow.
Wow.
I think it's going to happen.
I like that.
I'm going to say we're going to get a Belah Muhammad auto in here.
Which could rise in value depending on what happens tonight.
You're hearing it?
Yeah.
I think I hear it.
I hear it.
Belal Muhammad autograph in there.
Oh, all right.
Waiting on us.
All right.
Let's keep the trivia going.
Frank.
true or false?
Tonight, Gilbert Burns
will become the first fighter
to compete in the Octagon
three times in 2023.
You know, I don't know for sure,
but this is so crazy, I want to say it's true,
because he fought in January,
he fought last month he's fighting now,
not even a month away, right?
So it's got to be true
just because it's new to me.
Okay.
Do you agree?
I'm going to say true,
but I feel like you're about to say someone
and I'm going to be like,
Duh.
Some obscure guy.
He's the enemy of this question, and he's an enemy of flyweight under.
Oh, I said false, by the way.
Johnson.
Yes, Charles Johnson.
He was the first person to play three times in 20.
You didn't let me finish.
I was about to say, but I know it's false.
Yes, yes, of course, yes.
I know you were, Frank.
No doubt.
Connor, how many UFC finishes does Jan Jaunan have?
One, two, three, or zero?
Zero.
Frank, do you agree?
I agree.
You should agree.
because it is zero.
Maybe tonight will be the...
I actually did know that.
Here's come Charles Redan.
Last trivia question.
And we'll start with you, Frank.
Frank, Al Jermaine Sterling is tied for third
for the most submission wins
in UFC Bannamate history.
Name one of the fighters in the top two spots.
Dennis Hoffman.
A little inside joke there.
Nice, Frank, nice.
Come on, is it, can you give me a multiple choice?
Sure.
Let's see.
I don't know.
I feel like I give it away.
I want to see if Connor get it with multiple choices.
All right, this has been such a long banter
because you repeat the question for me.
Al Jermaine Sterling is tied for third
for the most submission wins in UFC Bannon Wade history,
Name one of the fighters in the top two spots.
Greg, man.
Dennis Hoffman?
I love it.
One of them.
All right, I'll knock one off the list.
I like to play underhand, not overhand.
Softball.
See, one.
Okay, so I'll knock one off the list.
He's a Hall of Famer.
I believe he's a Hall of Famer.
Someone put 35K on Gracie.
Not fully retired, but not really.
active either. Uriah Fabor is
one of them. The
other guy, and I'll give you a hint, this
dude recently
fought,
it's a name that would not surprise you to be in the
top two.
Marlon Vera? It's not Marlon Vera.
Frank, another clue.
Mike looks so disappointed. No, no, this is a
tough one. Like when you hear it, you get like, oh,
of course. This guy
got brutally finished
in his most recent appearance. Frankie Edgar?
Nope. And you'd be
Very recent.
Very recent.
Adrian, no.
Nope.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
First time he was knocked out in, God, over a decade.
The second you say this, I'm just going to be like, duh.
I'm already upset with myself.
Oh, oh.
Dustin Hoffman.
Oh, God.
Who is it?
Honey-ya.
Oh, yes.
Wow, wow.
I just need 30 more seconds for that one.
Yes, I'm sure you did, Frank.
I'm sure he did.
All the iterations of Dustin Hoffman would have come out.
Can we talk about Gracie taking three years off, four years off,
and then he's the red side.
He's the red corner.
He's the A side of the fight.
Yeah, I mean.
Plug and play.
This referee is the best, by the way.
He's like 5 foot 4, but he's like 320.
He's stacked.
He's stacked up.
Just absolutely yoked.
Just like this card.
And let's, for the first time, go to our tail of the tape for this chat bet opening fight.
of the UFC 288 main card.
Tail a tape for Crone Gracie versus Charles Jordane.
Here we go.
First fight in over four years for ice cream crone.
Five and one.
He is seven years older than Charles Jordane.
Height exactly the same.
Crone Gracie, one inch taller.
Both men hitting the featherweight championship limit,
145 pounds apiece.
I'm on the edge of my seat.
I have just as many questions about this fight
as I do with the main event,
because what Chrome Gracie is going to show up.
Let me ask you this, Connor,
and I hate to make this a negative question.
Okay.
What happens if Crone Gracie loses this fight?
Is that like it?
Like, what do we do with them here?
It kind of feels like it's it.
Would you be that surprised if he just doesn't even want to be there?
Would that be the craziest thing to you?
No.
It wouldn't be.
It's felt like all week.
I know he's from the Diaz camp and, like, you know, he doesn't love media or anything.
But, yeah.
But, like, yeah, like, if he just comes out here and loses and he's just like, yep, you know,
he's finishing out of contract or something.
It felt like he's had, like, no interest in this.
So it's the first time as an underdog in a fight in the UFC.
Understandably so.
What happened?
And there's Damien Maya in the corner, by the way, which I found out about this from,
My old hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
I found this out from...
Gary Copeland looks...
Gary Copeland.
A nominal.
Dude, he looks so good.
He does some push-ups.
Oh, I think he does a couple push-ups.
I mean, he's...
He's going to break you up good if you're getting broken off.
Gary Copeland.
Where is he on your ref power rankings, Frank?
He's got to be number one and a half.
I mean, he's number three right now.
Nice.
Look at Keenan Thompson in the back.
You can't see him behind the referee.
Yeah, he's just too jack.
He's just not a lot on that, dude.
All right, here we go.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Congressy, back in there.
Watch it with us, everybody.
If you're ahead of us, which is a good chance you might be, just pause it.
Just pause it.
Just pause it so you get to the 440, 439, so forth and so on.
If you're listening on the podcast version, we're at 435, 434, 433.
If you're listening on the podcast version, you are truly a trooper.
Yeah, you guys are.
I mean, I edit that thing.
I appreciate you doing that, Frank, and I appreciate anyone listening.
Oh, Charles Jordane with a big comment.
Had Charles Dordane just finished him right there, I would not have been that shocked.
What if Cron wins, though?
I also won't be shocked.
That's the craziest thing.
In my opinion, his only way he's winning this is by submitting.
Oh, all right.
So Cron's got a hold of Jordane.
They're clinching against the fence.
This is exactly where Cron Gracie wants to be right now.
I mean, if he can get this to the ground, that's huge.
I mean, he looks to be in pretty good shape.
If...
All right.
Charles Jordanian gets separation.
they're back striking.
But if Crone wins...
Oh, wow.
Jordane just touches them off, man.
If Crone wins this fight,
is this the kind of fighter
that the UFC will just strap the rockets to?
To come back and fight Jordane,
you go out there and sub them in the first.
Does it seem like he wants rockets
strapped to his back, though?
I mean, I don't think he really cares
what the UFC wants to do. He'll just do it.
I mean, the name is everything here,
but, I mean, so far, he's...
Charles Jordane is definitely finding
some good success on the feed here.
I like the pressure that Gracie's putting on,
but I mean, he's...
I mean, look at he's got the hands down.
He's just like Diaz Army, bro.
I mean, it's very Diaz-esque shirt.
Oh, yeah. No doubt. No doubt.
Oh, Jordane with a nice right uppercut.
I mean, Gracie's tough, man.
He's got a chin on him, but man.
Cubs Watson hit him hard like 8,000 times
and he didn't crumble, so...
George Jordan seems very...
aware of what he needs to do to win this fight so far. Yeah, just don't get taken down.
I mean, Gracie is...
Gracie's got a great strategy of just blocking everything with his face.
Nah, no, no, no, no. We're about halfway through the round here. But Crone just, no fear. Nice to like it.
Can he get to, can he get this to the ground? That's the question. I mean, he's having a...
Oh, my God. Brilliant!
Wow. That's so crazy that he would rather be fighting off of his back than standing and trading. That's how confident he is in his BJJ skills. Is he holding his mouthpiece?
Who? Crazy.
Is he? That's what it looked like.
What are we eating back there, Frank? The rest of your sandwich?
My mouthpiece.
All right, let's see. He's got two minutes to work from here, and that is more than enough time for a guy that's...
I mean, does they work? And he's on his back.
It's just a crazy thing.
Just making the choice.
I'm just going to jump up and fall and wrap the leg.
Yeah, and you're just going to have to come with me.
Jordane just basically trying, it's almost like he's trying to.
Yeah, yeah, he doesn't want anything to happen.
Oh, he's got one leg up.
Oh, he's going for the triangle.
Yeah, it doesn't look like he's able to get anything there.
That's still a lot of time to work.
Cron landing some punches off of his back.
I mean, the best part for Cronier is that like,
Jordane is not wanting to do anything because he doesn't want to expose himself.
So he's kind of in a good position.
Now, what is the referee going to do with all of this?
I don't know.
I mean, I mean, Crohn's being active.
Yeah, I hope he doesn't stand.
I hope he's aware.
Oh, there you go.
But Jordane stands up on his own.
And Crone is.
Oh, we're getting some butt scoots, baby.
Let's go.
Let's go.
It's going to get him with the pincers.
I like that.
A little sidekick.
All right.
And Crohn's back on his feet.
I just saw Gary nod his head in approval.
And then he did 10 push-ups.
43 seconds to go.
Man, he's...
Oh, this is...
Crone pushed him up against the fence.
Let's see if he can get him down.
Is he going to hop on his back and do a Damien Maya back-take?
Man, Charles is just...
He is fighting this with all he's got, man.
He knows that he can't go down.
Crone's landing in some nice body shots.
Nice job by Charles.
Jordane has been very confident all week
that he was just going to beat the hell out of this guy.
I mean, when they're standing and striking,
he's definitely doing that.
There's the first clap of this main card.
It feels like Krona hasn't been doing too much sparring
on the feet of getting ready for this fight.
Listen to that horn, baby. Authentic.
There's a maca for you.
Thank you, sir. There's an eraser for you.
Yes, we will be scoring.
the fights. As we go along here,
Grosy by submission. I mean, all it takes is one, but...
Pretty clear. Pretty clear.
Pretty, pretty clear. Charles Jordane.
That is Air Jordane, the Canadian, the French Canadian.
10-9, no doubt. No doubt about it in my mind.
Any chance, Jordane gets tired as the fight goes on,
and Gracie has an easier time taking him down.
In submitting him, according to the...
I mean, third round Jordan.
So, Frank, like, yeah, that's, I mean,
that'd be the goal if he got him down.
What, the mythical creature third round Jordan, dude.
Come on.
Oh, that, I mean.
That lasts, what, like?
That actually kind of seems alive here.
I'm not going to lie.
Yeah, maybe.
All right.
Round two, Charles Jordan looking confident,
looking focused, and Cronin is just like,
all right, I guess we're going to do this fighting thing.
Yeah, Cron just like,
Round two.
It's very like...
Charles coming out of firing.
It's kind of like Nick Diaz-esque.
The Diaz-Lollet, right?
I'm just waiting for Kroen to, like, lay down
and do one of those.
Yeah, just like...
I like the stance switching from him.
I mean, he's fighting the way he was acting all week.
Cron...
He's just nonchalant.
Yeah.
Cron trying to chase him down.
Jordane is moving around.
Let's see if Cron can close that distance.
Oh, he's got.
He's got him, oh, she's got an underhook, body lock, up against the fence.
Get him down.
We got a-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Oh, wow.
All right.
Look at Jordan.
Jordane is not having any part of this.
He's got his legs, Crohn's got those legs wrapped around.
Wow, this is, I don't think I've ever seen this.
So if you're not watching live, they're basically battling against one of the term buckle.
Yeah, well, oh, all right, we're back on the ground.
And now they're on the ground.
And back, full guard for Crone.
Let's see what Jordane can do.
Yeah.
Does he, he's throwing punches.
Oh, is he going to try to stand right back up?
Probably should.
There's a couple fence grabs there by.
Yeah.
Come on, Gary.
Oh, we got a little rolling here.
He's trying for it.
No.
He's trying for an arm bar.
I like the little short fence grabs.
I mean, Gary wouldn't dare call it.
And who's going to question them?
Not this guy.
No, no, no.
Definitely not me.
I'm very curiously where Gary ends up on Frank's rankings by the end of this card.
Oh, yeah.
Over her?
The power rankings could definitely be in flux.
So it's Herb, Goddard?
Wow, we're getting some booze from the crowd.
Herb Goddard.
I feel like you kind of had to expect what was going to happen here with Crone Gracie.
What kind of fight did they expect?
So you were saying, I think, on No Bet's Bar that the ticket prices for this car were, like, insanely ridiculous.
Yes, they were.
Or the cheapies.
Cheapies, I think just to get in the building was like at least 275, 300.
Jeez Louise.
Yeah, I mean, it's a tax to get in there for sure.
Wow.
Man, Crohn's going for that arm, but...
He is.
Feels like Jordane's feeling more comfortable now.
I think so.
Oh.
No, yeah.
He's feeling comfortable in the guard.
I just don't...
Yeah, I mean, he's got to keep doing what he's doing.
Jordane's just not posturing up.
He's just staying in real tight, lend short shots to the bus.
Not taking any real risks.
Crone's like trying to
to like, oh, I thought he's going for
an Ezekiel joke
for a second there.
Oh, yeah, I mean. Oh, like's coming up.
Nope, Charles Jordans. There he is.
Keeping that head right in, right in Crohn's chest.
Oh, yeah, man. I mean, Jordane's doing great here.
Oh, good. That fence grab was right front and center.
Gary, Gary,
Gary wasn't ready. It's been noted mentally.
Yeah, he's got it.
Back up to the feet.
Jordan,
Jordan, only minus 400.
That feels,
it just feels low.
This feels one-sided right now.
This is a good live bet.
Uh-huh.
Minus 400.
Yeah.
I mean,
Kron just,
feels like in hindsight,
this probably shouldn't have been
on the main card.
Yes.
Probably should have put
Kennedy and Kennedy
on the main card?
Yeah.
Parker Porter.
Yeah.
Parker Porter and Braxton
Smith should have been
the prelim
the featured prelim, and then Dober for Vola should have kicked off the main card.
Braxton Smith.
Distant head strikes, Gracie has two.
Jordane just teeing off at this point.
Third round.
There's a nice little left hand from Crone.
All right.
Imagine Crone sits them down and then submits him.
Knocks him out.
That would be sick.
All right, now they're battling against the fence again.
Let's see what Crone can do here.
Jordane doing a nice job.
Crowd booing.
He's pulling.
Guard again.
Guard again. I don't
love the guard.
Crowd at the Peru not happy.
Not happy with this.
Jed Mishu saying this is a setup for third round Jordan.
This is a big brain move by Charles Jordane to get the third round finish here.
Yes, he wants that gimmick back.
Yeah, I like that.
So, I mean, I shouldn't even erase the board here, but...
Yeah, I shouldn't have erased either.
Yeah.
That's, uh...
Why did you erase?
I thought maybe Cron had something up his sleeve, you know?
And the prudential crowd is...
I don't blame him, I'm not gonna lie.
I don't blame him for doing this.
Not the performance Cronin Gracie was hoping for.
Well, there's always third round Cron.
Third round Cron.
I mean, if he goes out there and beats Charles Jordane in the third round,
I mean, that's something.
That's like two wins and one.
You steal the moniker?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He'll win.
Yeah.
I mean,
like,
what I was thinking
as well
was like
he just needed
one takedown.
Man,
he's like not even
getting close
to getting a
takedown.
And Charles
Dordane only has
like a 46%
take down
defense.
Yeah,
Charles can be
taken down
pretty easily.
Shane Burgos
had some trouble
with him in
the third round.
That's where
third round
Jordan showed up.
But let's see
what happens here.
Final five
minutes.
And there's,
yes,
the new
main event of UFC 289 on the screen, Amanda Nunes versus Arrini Aldana.
Got to be a good one.
I got to tell you, man.
I'm getting some vibees.
I'm getting some vibes.
Rio Mexico, little new champ.
I don't mind it.
I don't mind that.
All right, here we go.
Third round.
Yes.
Arrini Aldana.
Nice right hand from Jordan.
Crone with a little jab.
All right.
I mean, look, it ain't pretty, but it's somewhat effective.
All right, to be blunt, he essentially stands no chance on the feet of winning the fight.
Unless he just...
He could have a moment or two.
I mean, yeah, I could eat these words if he somehow knocked him out, but like he has to get it to the ground.
Ooh.
That looks like something, maybe I james it.
I thought he dropped it for a second.
He hit him and Charles Dardine took a step back and, like, tripped over his own foot for a second.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
That was a nice right now.
Crone just...
One thing you can't say is, I mean, Cron is tough, man.
Here we go, here we go.
I like it.
What are we even called this?
It's like the baby holder.
Like it's like a parent carrying a baby.
I like that.
I like that.
I love that.
The baby holder.
The kangaroo pouch.
Ooh, that's a good one too.
We'll have to put that in the chat.
Oh, a little clash of heads.
Not bad, Kroen.
Do what you can do me.
Like the strategy, kid.
Like the strategy.
Clash your heads, get them on the ground.
Maybe they don't notice.
Yeah, Crohn's, uh...
Okay, let's, let's, let's, let's,
Let's say this just...
Ribroaster.
Let's say this just goes out
for the next three minutes and 40 seconds
and it just continues to look like
what it's looked like.
Like, really where does Crone Gracie go from here?
I mean, I don't know.
Oh, man, Jordan.
Dang.
Putting it on him.
D.C. is saying it right now.
Rappler who was on the Contender series?
I mean, D.C. saying it right now,
what do you do with this guy?
He has a very limited skill set.
I don't know. It's tough. I mean, I would just, I don't know what you do. Because I mean, I'm sure he's not like on a 12 and 12 deal. I'm sure he's making a little bit more than that.
Yeah, I mean, you'd have to hope so. We got back in guard here. Some booze continue to pour from the crowd.
The prue is not rocking like it was during the prelims. That's for sure. I think the, I think the, I think the, I think the,
next few fights, we'll get the Prodential Center back rocking.
Yeah, I think Mazzar of Loyav needs to go out and get a finish.
Oh, man, could you imagine? I mean, I feel like a bad case scenario would be Movsar by like
a wrestling decision. Like a 30-26 wrestling decision? Yeah, I don't think that would be a good thing
at all. But yep, Jordane is doing Jordane thing. Yeah, I mean, I guess we just have to break the fourth
wall here right now. We have lost our stream in
in studio here. I think it's back.
Hey, we're back. We're back.
And we miss nothing. We miss nothing. Gracie is in guard.
That was some scary moments there. We lost it. And the clock's lined up
beautiful. The clock is lined up beautifully. We tried to fake it until we make it, but that's
tougher than I expected it to be. So we got a minute 50 for
the chat bet to cash here. But the boo-birds
are singing. They are singing here.
Crone, I don't know if she's looking at the ref?
I mean, that should...
All right.
That should just about do it for the fight, right?
Him getting up with 90 seconds to go.
Jordane, just kicking Crone Gracie in the legs as the butt scoots.
Continue on and they're getting slower and slower and so...
Oh, a little bleak kick off the butt scoot.
I mean, he's just kidding.
Jordan is just ripping shots to the legs right now.
This is...
There's Gary Seth.
Gary.
Look at it.
Looks good.
Looks good.
Is the next to number two now, Frank?
No more butt.
Sorry, we're having some issues back here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you think, do you think.
Oh, good rib roasting.
Oh, my gosh.
Like, he's standing there, dude, just like.
I mean, Cron is tough as hell, man.
Tough as hell, man.
He's got that Rolanda Badoia chin.
Jordane, the unofficial distance strikes.
Oh, he's trying to set something up.
Doesn't have it.
Crowe needs to, like, I don't know.
The flying.
the flying guard is not a good idea,
but if you're a flying triangle...
Did he get credited with any takedowns?
I don't think... I doubt it.
No.
No.
Lots of guard pulls up.
Charles Roden got credited
for seven minutes of control time.
Oh, well...
Cron Grassey did land 167 total strikes.
He did? Get out of here.
I mean, it's all the elbows and the guard
and a little tiny one. Significant strikes,
he only landed.
24. Oh, Gordane! Yeah, great, great performance by Charles Dordane.
Very solid. All right. Chat bet. I can't blame him.
Chat bet doesn't cash, but what can he do? What can you do? But this is a smart performance,
and it wasn't, like, terribly boring. Like, when they're on the feet, Charles was beating his ass.
Oh, yeah, man. Charles Dordane put on.
It was a good fight. It was a good performance. It was exactly what he needed to do.
Man, nice elbow.
Yeah. What are the cards on this one?
I mean, 3027.
It's got to be. No doubt.
Just don't even bother to write it down.
Yeah, we don't need to round it.
3027 for Charles Air Jordane.
I just hope this referee doesn't rip Charles Dordane's arm out when he raises it up.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, man, really would.
Look a buff man's shoes.
Look at that card. That card is so chaotic that he has.
That he was reading off of, that script card.
Oh, yeah, you could pay, like, what, $1,000?
$1,000, and that could be your name.
Why would anybody do that?
That could be your name.
I don't know, man.
People got money.
Do you get the canvas, too?
Yeah, yeah, they do something.
It's still a thousand shingles.
Look at Gary.
This is Gary.
This is Gary's moment to shine right here.
Oh, look at that.
Look at that, dude.
Do you see what he did?
How often?
I was going to say, I was going to say, how often he thinks he's in the mirror
and he's just like, there it is.
Look at this guy right here.
Look at this guy right there, huh?
Yeah, that's scary's moment to shine.
Yes, well done.
Charles Ordain, congratulations.
Congratulations.
Two-fight wins, streak, well, two-fight losing streak over.
Yeah, I was going to say, bounce back.
Tough fights against Shane Burgos and Nathaniel Wood.
Well, Charles Zardin called somebody out.
Crazy Twitter game.
Oh, the skinny beds.
Oh, skinny bets.
Shout out.
I've shared some Instagram DM.
It was Skinny Betts.
Well, I mean, he had a read off the phone.
I mean, clearly paid them, yes.
Look, I mean, cool, but you could probably go to Draft Kings and use the code of the Mayhauer.
There you go.
Use the code of the Mayhauer.
Oh, man.
It's a hell of a deal.
What's his camera over here do?
Skinny, Skinny Beds did win like 100K.
Oh, no.
No, there it is.
Oh.
Cheers.
Chat losing with me.
Yeah, the chat is losing with you.
But you know what Connor did very well tonight?
You know he needed very well tonight.
He got a little overexposed on a fight that most others wouldn't,
but it paid off because he went banana on Pac-a-Porter.
And what a brilliant move.
Parker Porter, Braxton Smith, biggest bed of the night, under one and a half,
fight to end by K.O.
Had a little side-sprinkle on Parker Porter, K-O-T-K-O round 1 plus 8-52.
Yeah, we were pretty hype here in the studio when that was going on.
I mean, I'm telling you.
We already laid out the MSG card.
Oh, yeah.
It's a heavyweight...
Hunter Campbell, you can rest easy tonight.
We've got this one covered.
Don't you worry.
Sergey Pavlovich versus Paco for the stakes could not be any.
All right, so now we get the...
So now we get...
We get...
We get...
We get...
I mean, what a hairstyle this guy has.
Yes.
This has been the hairstyle card.
Zalgazal Zuma Gulov, unfortunately, did not get to fight,
but that hairstyle...
There's Aaron Blanchfield.
the future. Flyway champion of the world, in my humble opinion. There's Kevin Holland.
Who's Kevin Holland got with him? Jimmy J-Wiles. Shout up to the Jersey Shore.
Kalyn Chukagan. There's Jimmy Miller. Just...
Wait, can we go back? Can we go back to that?
Hey, Frankie Edgar in the house of his son. I love it. Looks just like him.
Yes. I mean, freakingishly like him. Can we go back to
Kevin Holland,
Jenny J-Wow
from the Jersey Shore,
Caitlin Chukagian.
What a combination.
That's a wild,
a wild little party right there.
Yes, and Jay Wiles...
Oh, man.
Yes.
I listen, I know you guys are excited
about UFC 288 tonight.
UFC,
Day Card, ABC,
Jelton All Made a Main Event.
It just doesn't...
It's a pretty good main card,
honestly.
Oh, we got the future.
Gary.
Ian Machado, Gary.
Anthony Smith, Johnny Walker.
Tim means Alex Marona.
Tim means Alex Marona.
That's a damn good main card opener.
You know what the best part is?
It starts at 3 p.m. Eastern.
That's the main card.
It starts at 3 p.m. Eastern.
I love it.
We're going to have like a tip.
I mean, we're going to be literally eating bacon,
egg and cheese sandwiches and drinking coffee.
When the first fight of that, Charlie Carlin.
It's my favorite thing.
I'm so happy about that.
I love morning fights.
I love day cards.
They're my favorite things in the world.
It's incredible.
As we say that at 1043 Eastern Time.
And here comes 16.0.
Movzar of Lyef. Now, a lot of people, G.C., were calling in a heck of a morning once Bryce
Mitchell's off the car and they're like, the UFC should just pull Mavzar from this card,
or they should have bumped up Charles Jordane to fight him. Or, I mean, but most of the people
are saying, like, pull Mavzar off the card and, like, give him a fight with the higher-rank guy.
And to me, I'm like, no, just let Mavzar go in there and fight this dude, probably annihilate him,
and then he could turn him back around quick, and he could fight some.
somebody else that's ranked in the top 10 or whatever, because with a guy like Mavzar,
we've spent more time during his UFC run asking where he is as opposed to what's next.
Where's Mavzar of Lov?
Who's he going to fight?
We haven't seen him fight in a year.
Now it's been another year.
And it's kind of the same thing I felt about Shafkat Rakhmanov this year when his fight with
Jeff Neal fell off earlier this year.
Like, there's no need to rebook him or try to find a rank guy.
just get anybody who wants a call in there so Shafcott could truck him
and then he can fight two months later against somebody else ranked.
It's about getting reps and getting on television and getting in front of the people.
That's how you rise the ranks.
And this guy has so much talent and ability.
That's the one thing holding him back right now.
She just needs to get in there and fight people.
Yeah, and I won't even lie, man.
I can't even remember the last time Moussar fought.
When was the last time he was in there, June?
Against Dan Iege.
He did a fantastic performance against Dan Igay.
I mean, yeah, he's 16 and 0.
He's a huge prospect for the featherweight division.
We need to see him in there.
It goes one or two ways.
Mofsar, you know.
Diego Lopez, he showed wrestling weakness in the contender series fight,
but he does have a solid ground game,
and he has some dangerous submissions.
Either Mofsar rolls through him,
gets another rep, and he can fight again soon,
or Diego Lopez shocks the world
as a plus 700 underdog or whatever he is.
and gets a UFC contract out of it for long term.
That would be pretty wild.
Yeah, I mean, I'm okay with it.
I'm okay with this.
A lot of fighters asking about Belal Muhammad's ankle.
I think a lot of people are asking about Bilal Muhammad's ankle,
and I'm not going to lie, I'm worried about that over one and a half.
I mean, I would be pretty disappointed if he got in there,
got finished in the first round, and then he was like my angle was messed up.
Yeah.
Can't make that excuse now.
Like, you can't do it.
I mean, it's already there.
I think after the T.J. Dillishaw thing on 280,
I feel like people would much rather,
much rather you pull out of the fight
than come in ultra-compromised.
Yeah.
Hopefully this is just nothing,
and it's just angles and, I don't know,
the limping is sketch.
Or maybe he's just, I mean, I'm going to crowd a blacker.
That'd be pretty crazy.
Should we rip a couple packs?
Oh!
Did someone say?
They ripped packs?
I think so.
Yeah, I think Mike did.
All right.
As he's ripping over the packs,
Mavzar of Loyaf at his Media Day scrum
said there's only one man
that he believes can beat Alexander Volkanowski.
And his name is...
And his name is Mavzar of Lov.
I love it. I love it.
All right.
Let me grab our frame here.
You know what I did?
The frame.
Wow, the frame is not there.
Oh.
Frame gone.
Okay.
We got gloves.
We do have gloves.
We have no cases, which is another huge thing.
I mean, we might pull the million dollar card here.
We might be pulling a one-of-one here.
And we're not going to be ready for it.
All right, here goes Diego Lopez, man.
With that, I mean, just that incredible hairstyle.
All right, here we go.
We'll open a couple packs right now.
We'll see what we've got.
I'm excited.
I mean, how can you not be?
How can you not be?
You got the Chronicles.
We went all out for this one.
It's a very big deal.
We did go all out for this one.
I'm thinking next month we do,
this is the last 2022 box we'll do.
They just came out with the 2023.
When we pull the million dollar card,
the one-of-one Khabib autograph,
we only want it to be touched by protected hands here.
I completely agree.
That's what we do here.
We're careful with our cards.
as Diego Lopez makes the walk.
Here we go.
I don't know if you know the answer to this,
but is there a Holy Grail
UFC card out there right now?
I don't know.
One that collectors really want to help right now.
I mean, just any people that have
the potential to be champions
and...
Speaking of?
Like, very rare, though.
So, like, this is like a base card.
I've learned that much.
So...
Speaking of wanting to be champions?
Colby Tubbington.
Steve Amiochich,
also wants to be a champion.
Next title challengers.
Let's see.
Tito Ortiz.
Former champion.
That's not bad.
That's not bad.
A flux Michael Chandler.
Not bad.
All right.
This could be a...
Nice and shine.
Camaro Usman.
Okay.
All right.
And then we have one more.
I just ruined it,
but Magamette Ancolaev.
All right.
Chronicles always feel nicer.
There's a nice...
There's a nice array of them.
And with the hobby box, man,
we're getting two autos, guaranteed.
All right.
So, or so they say.
So they tell me.
That was a solid pack.
That was a solid pack.
It wasn't bad.
We're looking for the rare cards.
We're looking for the numbered.
We're looking for some really special stuff.
Al Jemaine Sterling in our main event tonight.
Nice.
You were right?
Nice.
Not bad.
Taituivas.
This is a numbered one.
So the Chronicles is blue.
You can barely see it, but the writing is blue.
This is a of 99.
It actually looks like we got 89 of 99.
I thought it was 99 of 99.
So that's the best card of the evening so far.
I said Kibibasa, so you can't go wrong.
Is that a...
Nothing crazy with it, nothing crazy with it.
It looks like it's just a recon, I think.
And then a Taitoivasa.
I mean, we're just...
I mean, all right.
We're hitting it on Taito Ivasa.
I love it.
This is also a numbered Taito Ivasa out of 199.
Look at this.
Nice little gets for...
Another Habib?
Another Habib, man.
What kind of card is that?
I don't know, man.
I wish I knew more about cards.
Someone watching that likes cards, probably like,
oh, that's obviously a legacy card there.
Origins, Amanda Nunez?
Why do I feel like there's like...
Another Habibh.
I was going to say, why don't I feel like there's like 50 cards in here?
Wow, look at this.
A rated rookie card, Ian Gary.
Nice.
That's a good pack right there.
All right, let's open one more.
Those Habib ones, I might have to look into those a little bit.
One of them had like the 80s school frame.
Yeah, we need like the really rare ones.
Ooh, I haven't looked.
Something feels up in this pack.
That comes the Francis.
Ghanu Autograph.
It looks like we're about to get something nice here.
I'm not looking.
I'm not looking.
Send us nice into the Mov Saravlov.
Send us nice into it.
Justin Gaechie.
That the regular Chronicles or the Blue Chronicles?
Regular, regular.
Rookie card for Max Griffin.
Okay.
Season ticket, Sean O'Malley.
That's not bad.
What do we got here?
John Jones season ticket.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Okay.
All right.
Here we go.
Oh.
A Valentina Shevchenko.
Looks like that's also just a base, just a normal.
All right.
You want me to be totally honest with you?
All these cards stacked together.
I thought we were getting like a really thick auto there.
Is that Volk?
There's a Volk.
I thought we were going to get like a patch card.
That's what I thought I felt.
Max Holloway.
All right.
Featherweights, galore?
Elite.
And then another Max Holloway, Recon.
Wow.
And then, wow, John Jones, Blue XR, out of 99.
Oh.
Out of 99.
So we've gotten quite a cute numbers card.
I like that John Jones one.
I like that John Jones one a lot.
All right.
All right, not bad on the first three.
Yeah, we'll have to check out the weight of those cards in value,
but let's check out the weight of these fighters.
Let's go to the tail of the tape for this featherweight main card bout between Mobbzar of Loya,
the biggest favorite on the card, taking on newcomer Diego Lopez.
Man.
Plus 625 underdogs.
This is a tall task here for Diego Lopez.
16 and O, Mobsar of Vloev.
Vloyev, one year older.
Four inches shorter than Diego Lopez,
but reach advantage exactly the same.
Both men, professionals hitting the mark.
Loyave 145, Lopez 146.
But Lopez has 10 more fights professionally than Mavsare of Lov.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Very excited to see Vloyub back inside the cage.
This dude is a problem.
Grant Dawson trains with this man all the time.
Can you imagine the type of sessions on the wrestling mats that those two dudes have?
No, I absolutely do not.
That has got to be something.
All right.
I do have Mozart in a parlay.
Yeah, paid a big price for him.
He goes with the over one and a half in the main and co-main.
Okay.
Cheers.
There's one of Frank's favorite.
Shout out to Keith.
Shouted to Keith Peterson.
No nonsense.
Depending on the night, that is.
I mean, it sounds like he's not a nonsense.
Before we get underway here,
happy with the cards?
Haven't gotten a single auto,
three packs to go?
But still?
No, we've got some autos waiting on us.
I know that to be true.
We got Habibs, lots of Habibs,
lots of John Joneses.
Number John Jones is great.
All right, you have to wonder,
how long is it going to be before Mosar goes for a takedown?
I don't even know if, I mean...
I think you should go for one.
Oh, Lopez, all right.
We saw a favor just about this big go down last night in one championship, Roberto Soldich.
That's very true.
Oh, boy, with a nice right hand over the top.
Interesting what John Anick just said.
Of all the matchups, oh, oh, oh, oh, holy cow.
Holy cow.
Holy cow.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, watch out, watch out.
Oh, he might have him in something here.
So much has happened.
So much is happening.
This is crazy.
It looks like right hand.
It looks like a boy of his good.
Oh, look at that elbow.
Look at those elbows.
Oh, look at that from bottom.
Lopez.
It looks like Mossar is having some trouble here, man.
Some serious trouble.
Look at Lopez.
So if you're watching live, you are going as bananas as we are.
Whoa, this is crazy.
If you're not watching live.
I mean, Diego Lopez is not cool with any sort of just lay and prey.
Wow.
got crazy as hell.
Vloyev landed a right hand as he was ankle picking.
Who down.
Lopez almost got him in an arm bar.
Evloia scrambles out.
Then Lopez gets him in a, try to get him in a knee bar that looks really tight.
Wow.
And then Lopez landing elbow off his back.
But of Lovloia is on top.
Diego Lopez came to play.
Diego Lopez came to play.
Yep.
Got to respect it.
Hell yeah.
Take this fight on what?
What's crazy?
Before all that craziness happened, John Anick was.
saying that of all the options that MoVStar was presented with, this is the one that he chose.
I wonder, I wonder if he saw something there, but man, what a, what a two minutes for
Diego Lopez?
I mean, that's kind of what you have to do on five days on us, right? Just get after it and
go for it, man. I mean, he's still having some success from bottom.
He's doing, he's doing well. But how long can he sustain this sort of pace?
Who knows? Oh, man. He's going, he's going for a triangle. He's trying. He's got one
He's got the left leg over the right shoulder of Vloyev.
The right leg is underneath the arm pin.
I was going to say his right arm is his right arm caught under Vloyov's leg.
O'Oyev's fine.
He's been very calm.
He's landing hammer fist.
All right.
Lopez back.
Oh, there's the.
Oh, man.
He's off of the arm bar.
This is crazy.
Oh, I think he got it.
I think he's got it.
No way.
I think he's going to get it.
No, I think he's going to get it.
And Flay, he's so close to tapping.
He's so close to tapping.
Oh, he didn't.
Oh, he didn't.
Oh, my God.
He didn't tap.
Holy shit.
Oh, my God.
This is crazy.
This is crazy, dude.
Diego Lopez is a dangerous man.
Oh, my God.
How did he not tap?
Oh, my God.
I thought he tapped.
Oh, no, I know.
He definitely did not tap.
Well, the way Lopez reacted, and maybe it's because he put his hand on the knee,
I thought for a second, like,
Lopez let him go, and that the fight was going to get stopped.
Was it so chaotic?
I don't know.
I can't, to be honest.
I get to see the replay.
I don't think there was a tap, but I'm curious if Lopez thinks he tapped.
Dude, Lopez is.
Now he's huffing him.
Dude, that was so close.
Dude, I thought it was over.
I thought it was over for sure.
He had it.
Holy smokes.
Didn't expect to have the chaos in this fight.
There were some people that were warning.
Oh, big right-hand.
from Evloev. There were some people that were warning about the danger of Diego Lopez,
and they were spot on, man. They said this line was way, way off, and they were dead on.
Holy spoke. I look like an idiot holding an Evloev minus 700 tickets.
Wow, Diego Lopez. I mean, he's still not done, dude. He could pull up something. He's going
for another arm bar. But ofloev is kind of seeing everything coming out. But I don't know, man. I don't
know, dude. It can happen in the blink of an eye.
Lopez is just a pest.
He is very talented.
Wow.
Oh, man.
What?
Dude, this is...
I mean, Cronin Gracie could take a little some...
Yes, gosh, man.
A whole different fight.
Diego Lopez might have been better...
He's gone to the arm bar again!
Diego Lopez might have been better getting matched up with Charles Dordane.
I've never...
What is Mousar-Evon?
What is that I'm saying over there in the corner?
That was insane.
Sane.
Oh, man.
You have to write something down.
Can I just write 10-9?
You shouldn't leave it ambiguous?
You guys know.
10-9.
You guys know.
Lopez 10-9.
I'll go Lopez, sure, Frank.
I mean, even if he didn't, I'm going to give it to him.
I mean, he had some crazy moments, bro.
He had some crazy moments.
That was awesome.
Right here.
Right here, he won that round.
That was awesome.
If we go to the stats.
He landed more significant strikes.
Obviously.
Round of the night for sure.
Round of the night for sure.
Let's take a look at the live odds, man,
on Draft King's sports book right now.
Minus 350 for...
Minus 320.
Oh, that's close.
Minus 320.
No, that is wrong.
That is not minus 950.
I'm looking at them right now.
They are minus 320 plus 250.
If he was still plus 600,
I'd take him.
Dude, that, holy smokes.
Wow.
Diego Lopez.
All right.
That's the question Sean Sheehan just asked
with his Twitter
that got brought up
is how much gas does he have left in the tank?
Oh, nice right hand for Mobsar over the top.
Now, here's the thing, man.
Mofsar does he have...
Oh, a little stingy left from Lopez.
If Lopez can get this round, man,
like Mosaar is not a finisher.
Ooh.
Is that an eye poke?
I don't know.
It looks like Lopez wasn't bothered by it.
Oh, good right hand from Ivoiv.
This man, Diego Lopez, dude.
He's just...
He's already won at this point.
Like, he's already won no matter what happens.
Dude, give me Lopez, Jorday and, like, right...
That's what it should have been, bro.
That's what it should have been.
Win or lose, he fights Jorday next full training camp.
This dudes are just chucking.
I mean, wow.
Really, though.
Crone Gracie could learn how.
work off the back like Diego Lopez my god that was insane and Lopez still moving around good
Lopez is big too man yeah I'm very jealous of the hair oh the hair's great dude the hair's great
can't do it's all a lot of great comparisons uh you know to boy band members actors
there were there were some good comparisons out there this is I mean no I wonder if that's
the best hair card ever I wonder if he's live is just looking to stand and strike now because of how
much dangerous moments he had. Big combination from Ivoev. He should. I mean, he's,
that, that, he's finding much more success on the feet this round, no doubt.
Feels like he's, he's able to duck now. He feels like he's getting some timing down from,
from Lopez. I mean, to go from Bryce Mitchell to this is very different. Yeah.
I mean, shout out to Evloia for not getting finished there. That was unbelievable stuff from
Lopez. And of Vloev was the short notice replacement to fight nice. Yeah, yeah. This was supposed to be
Bryce Mitchell, JSP, and then Bryce Mitchell of Lovov and now Evloev Lopez.
Shout out.
Crazy how things work, man.
I believe, coincidentally enough, if Loyaf and JSP are tied for the second active
win streak at 145 behind now, General Volcanoz.
Wow.
So if Lovoyev wins his fight, he jumps ahead of JSP.
Lopez is a nice shot.
All right.
Oh, it goes through the takdown.
It goes to the takedown.
I don't know about this.
Easy takedown.
Ooh.
But I don't like this down here for it.
Very interesting call there.
I mean, with how dangerous Lopez is, I don't know about this, man.
But again, Mavzar is trucking around with Grant Dawson every day.
Yeah, but still, man.
There was dangerous moments.
Mavzar of multiple takedowns and six of seven.
Oh, now he's stacking them up.
Yeah.
All right.
So Mossar is having much more success this round.
But it could be one one going into round three if it lasts that long.
So Bloyev on top trying to smother.
I mean, clearly he's just trying to get that gas tank down.
Yeah.
Yeah, Blive has not had a finish inside the octagon.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's what I was saying.
You know, he's not the biggest finisher.
So regardless, like, we could be looking at a one-one.
Oh, wow, nice shot.
Wow.
Wow.
Body head.
Lopez just taken over and over again.
Wow. Oh, man.
Evlo.
Evlo.
Evlo.
Oh, another right hand.
Nice, nice shots from Movesar.
Oh, another one.
Whoa, whoa.
Okay.
Goes for a little ride there.
Lopez with the, wow.
Wow, some big shots from Movesaar.
He's doing, whatever Lopez does with his feet.
Dude, I mean, hoist.
He definitely is, he's definitely getting in the gym on leg day, man,
because he's just hoisting Novsar around.
I like a wheelbarrel.
Yes, exactly.
There you go, there you go.
Look at Keith.
Entertained.
Yeah, he's loving like,
rather than fighting for the submissions now,
Lopez is just trying to hang on for the ride.
Final 20-ish seconds to go.
Oh, man.
Molesars is unloading now from up top.
Ten seconds.
Vlev, much better round.
Yeah, yeah.
Very little, not much.
Lopez,
much credit to that, man.
Yeah, I mean, I think no doubt that's a Movesar round.
And, uh, I mean, there's a...
Don't you misspelled it there.
Oh, I did.
1990.
Did I misspell it?
Nope, just keeping your toes.
Oh, Frank.
You don't know how to spell a boy.
Jeez, man.
19.
It could be 1-1 though.
Yeah, what are the live odds now?
Minus 1,500, most of it.
Oh, okay.
All right.
They see the writing on that.
I mean, it...
It could be 1919.
There's a world where it's 2019 moves are.
It depends.
Yeah, I mean, DC and Rogan certainly thinks 2018 mobs are.
Oh.
Can I make it the final three fights?
He just see it right hand, I mean a left foot.
You're out of water?
Out of water.
Do you need some more?
You get to the PA in there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Send the intern in, Frank.
Oh, this could be a miserable five minutes for Diego Lopez.
Or he could shock the world and get a finish, you know.
man I mean dig deep his stock rises no matter what happens here but I mean he could dig deep
it's incredible I guess Frank called in the intern I guess that was the intern yeah thanks Frank
unbelievable just looking out the intern stuck in here with us that door it was it was a push she
thought it was a pull she did it she did it's kind of embarrassing when you hear about this one on the
yeah we're definitely I have to demote the intern for it you're in for it all right here we go
four minutes, 25 seconds.
Diego, I mean, he's a trier.
Hell yeah, dude.
He's still live.
He's still live.
Good job from Movzar.
Nice combo from Mozar.
Oh, nice headcake.
Didn't land clean, but.
Oh, nice right hand.
He likes that double jab.
He likes pumping that out twice.
Wow, body strikes.
43 to 2.
Oh.
Lopez.
Nice little combo from Lopez.
man.
Counter right hand.
Ooh.
The jab is so crazy from Moves' eyes.
Rogan's talking.
I was literally going to just mimic what Joe Rogan said.
Evloev is fainting and getting Lopez to bite,
and then he's just falling up with really good combinations.
What's crazy is, Lopez is 21 and 5 in his pro career, too.
Yeah.
Two of the bigger dogs are.
Oh, nice elbow from Evlo.
A really impressive.
Nice elbow from Movesar.
Oh, he's going for a ride again.
Oh.
Wow, wow.
He just dumped Lopez.
Yeah, dumped him down.
He's laying down some shots now.
Man.
Three minutes a long time.
Lopez is very good to that.
Oh, wow, wow.
He picked him up by the legs.
I just got us back.
Will he grab the...
Ooh.
He was like, there's a little take down there.
Keith Peterson's the ref.
Can't do it.
Oh, you think he was going to grab the fence if that was Gary Culpin in there,
but because he saw Keith Peterson.
He's like I was going to do it, but no nonsense.
Keith knows what's up.
Yeah.
There's been seven days without nonsense.
Nice knee to the legs.
Rogan said he's going for a Camara?
He is?
Rogan says things.
That's very true.
Oh, man.
These knees are nice.
Right in front of him, so he sees it.
Yeah, these kicks and knees are nice from a vlog.
Oh, that's just brutal.
So if you're not watching live,
Lopez's head is in one of the corners
Oh, whoa.
Did you see that?
Mousar goes with a head kick from the back.
That was pretty tricky.
And then he just kicked him to the face.
Yeah, that was pretty tricky.
While his arms are wrapping down.
Moussar is very flexible, very flexible.
Can we also talk about the respect that we have to have from Mowcars
rocking the long shorts and then cutting them deep?
Oh, whoa! Oh, whoa!
Lopez!
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Oh, my gosh, he might get him.
Oh, most are rolls.
This is not happening.
Oh, it is happening.
It might happen.
It might happen, dude.
Bernie Lopez are the nasty.
Oh, my gosh, this would be so crazy.
This would be so crazy.
90 seconds for a lot.
I don't even know what this is.
Oh, whoa, whoa.
Oh, my gosh, dude.
This guy Diego Lopez is crazy.
I thought he was about to pull that off.
That was nasty.
Evolive can't be human.
There's two bad spots he was in.
Oh, man.
It just looked painful.
Maybe you don't go to the ground again, Mosar.
Oh, we got the intern back here with the water.
I mean, a true manch.
A true mensch.
We call the fireman.
The fireman?
When you hand the water to one person in the next, come on.
Nice cold.
City tap.
Doesn't get any better than that.
Well done.
Now, Mobsar are going for a submission.
Lopez.
Easy.
Easy. He's still got 40 seconds to survive here, man.
Now Lopez, I...
Oh, he's going to the leg.
He was going for a leg.
He might have it. He might have it. He might have it.
He's got the leg!
Oh my gosh, he might have it.
If he started tickling his toe.
Oh, Moussar shakes his head. He says no.
Mosar shakes his head. Almost like the Mahavim Chiaf one.
Yeah, but not quite as bad. Not near as bad.
He's fine. 17 seconds. 15 seconds.
Oh my gosh. Mossar is a...
Holy cow
He's got eight seconds to go
You're gonna have to get
Oh it's hard on his face
Oh no
Oh my gosh
I think he's just saying
He's just gonna survive
He's shaking no
He's just gonna survive
Wow
Holy cow man
What a fight dude
Dude for a fight that I had
Not a ton of expectations for
Rock it on to the whiteboard
Wow
Holy cow
No I'm gonna go of Loyav
for the win
I think that's pretty clear
round still. Yeah, 29, 2928 of Loyola. I think there might even be a 3027 of Lov.
Wow. Well, Vloiv closed. What are you going to do? Minus 6,000 on the score, on the live line.
I mean, that's, that was that arm bar and, wow. My respect for both these dudes just like skyrocketed.
What a fight. Is that going to fight at the night? I don't know how it couldn't be. I mean, I kind of feel like Lopez won that one.
What?
I mean, we don't have to agree
Like, you're actually being serious, Frank?
I mean...
Just saying.
It could...
I mean, yeah. I mean, maybe, I don't know.
Look, I'm just the humble audio guy.
Don't put too much weight into this.
It is Jersey.
We've seen some decisions that...
Here, here's what I'll say.
Here's what I'll say.
No matter what, Frank,
me betting on a lawyer minus 700 was a terrible call.
It ended up being a terrible.
But at the time, based on the odds and what
We knew going into a...
It seemed like a good call.
It was not a good call.
It was a terrible call.
Let's see.
All right, let's see this.
We'll even get...
Are we taking it...
We might even take a trip to Splitty City here.
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
Second and three, like, pretty clear.
Let's see.
Yeah.
2928.
2928.
What did I say?
Most are of them.
What did I say?
2928's and there'd be...
And I said there'd be...
1.3027. Good fight.
Good fight. Judges got it right.
Diego Lopez is a monster.
Do you hear those booze, though?
I don't know why they would boo him. Like, he performed fantastic.
So did Diego Lopez. It was a great fight. It was just a great fight, dude. It was awesome.
There's the great Sayat.
Yeah. Like...
Let's see.
High in New Jersey.
He's saying thank you for coming to my fight.
they're booing the hell out of them.
Shout out to the sideburns.
Those are great.
They're great.
They're almost chops.
They're rock-esque.
I wish they were.
It's probably working on it,
trying to grow it out.
Yeah.
Could be his thing.
That was a great fight.
What do you think, dude?
If there's like 20 more seconds,
does he tap to that?
That what?
She sure seemed like.
Leg log?
Did he see the look on his face?
He like, he grimace,
and then he just goes,
I'm good.
Like, I mean, once you hear that click,
And you know you're that close to a win?
He didn't even blink.
I mean, wow.
What a...
Tremendous fight.
Shout out to both dudes.
I'm very excited.
I'm going to do a little onto the next one pick.
Diego Lopez, Charles Jordane, sign me up right now.
I'm cool for that. I'm cool with that, man.
Sign me up.
I'm cool with that.
Look at that, dude.
It looked like he had it.
It looked like he had it.
I thought it was over with that arm bar.
And that's just nasty.
Like you saw his face, that's the one right there.
He's like, oh, I never tap.
Never tap, man.
Never tap.
Yes, he's very flexible.
That was crazy.
Will he call somebody out?
Is he going to call up Bryce?
Is he going to call out somebody else?
Wow, someone says,
Evelov's stock drops massively after that performance.
Why?
Interesting.
I don't know.
I mean, that's just Twitter.
Maybe zombie.
And there's zombie right there.
Wow.
Evalov's zombie?
Who was zombie just talking with?
I'll probably one of the guys on his team.
Wow.
Well, let's get my...
What else are you going to say?
That's very nice of them to think everyone.
Rogan's like, all right, come on.
But it's very nice.
I mean, I like this guy.
I like this guy.
He's going to be a prop.
Great fight.
Great fight, man.
Great fight.
Now we got three bangers to end off.
The card, man.
I mean, let's get it going. Let's get it going.
All right.
I don't know. Do we go, uh, go back to the packs?
Oh, yeah, we could open the last three packs.
I think let's go back to the packs.
We got, uh, we got to play the video game.
We got Jed coming up for the Co-Maine.
We got Rob Fonk coming on for the main event.
I mean, we're having a good time here at, uh, USA.
Hey, look who it is.
Hey, our guy Bronson.
And Justin Gachie in the house.
And there's zombie in the corner.
Rocking the Sig.
Iranian-Odana?
All the stars in the tent?
Mexican champ.
Oh, really?
Maybe.
I'm getting vibes.
Look at this, 289.
There's the Vancouver.
Can't wait.
Can't wait, Rogers Arena.
Great place.
Are they going to give us a main card preview here?
They're going to do a promo video for the new main event.
Yeah.
Oh, there we are.
Amanda Nunes
versus Arini Aldana
What Amanda Nunes is done, truly amazing
All right, well this is going on.
Three packs to go, and I think we get some big ones here.
So we're guaranteed two autographs?
That's what it says on the front of the box.
I mean, this is...
Two autographs per box.
We haven't had one yet.
Here we go.
Here we go, folks.
I feel like with the hat and the gloves,
I look like I'm like a barbecue pit master right now.
Like I'm not to pull out a big old slap.
You know yourself. Wow, you know yourself.
Action Bronson was just on the street.
Action Bronson, my guy.
I mean, the vibes are high after seeing Bronson in the building.
Action Bronson is the man.
Let's see, let's see.
How we feel in Newark, New Jersey, stand up.
Maybe we got something good coming in.
The Fransangano autograph is upon us.
I like where your head's at.
I like where your head's at.
Sean Strickton rookie card?
Ooh.
Yeah.
I don't see why not.
Nice.
I don't see why not.
Michael Chandler.
Okay.
That works.
Oh, the champ.
John Way Lee?
Nice.
How a card is that?
That is a rectangular-shaped card.
Thank you.
Flux.
Ooh, speaking of, oh.
Wait a minute.
Wow.
Juliana Pena Otto.
Woo-hoo!
Just in time.
The...
Just in time.
During the Amanda Nunes
Arrini-Al-Donna promo.
I mean, how about that?
Just in time.
Just in time a signed Chronicles autograph.
Okay.
I mean, not the worst thing in the world to have to hold on to, you know.
She does have a winner or a man in Eunice.
John Jones season ticket?
Another John Jones?
Another John Jones.
Is that another John Jones right behind it?
Nope, that's an Alexander Volcanowski black.
No, the one you're holding.
This one right here?
This is.
Yes, yes, two John Joneses.
I'm sorry.
I think it's John Jones' eye.
There's two of them.
Yes.
And then we got an Amanda Nunez.
Okay.
Red recon out of 199.
All right.
So we got Juliana Pena Otto.
Nice.
Former Bantamweight champion.
And, yeah.
We got our auto.
Just in time for 279.
All right.
Who's next?
Who's next?
There's Amanda Nuis just running over.
Megan Anderson.
Knocking out Chris Seiboy.
All right, Yohanna.
Goh.
Joe.
Joe.
Joe.
Goh.
McGregor.
Honor McGregor.
Another goat.
Little Chronicles.
Ooh, a Khabib.
A special-looking Kabeb here.
We have lots of Habib in here.
Whoa, this is a trippy little looking one.
Oh, goodness gracious.
Fisher-Torres autograph.
All right.
It's kind of hoping for better on the autos.
Fall River's own.
Fall River Mats.
Was kind of hoping for better on the autos.
Maybe there'll be another one.
McGregor?
Another one?
Gregor Otto would have been nice.
Oh, Francis and Ghanu.
Okay.
A blue Francis and Gano looks like this is no, no number on it, but still a cool looking, no, there is a number on it.
Out of 99.
Ah, see?
Out of 99.
Cool looking card here.
That's the biggie.
That is a biggie.
Is that two-shouldered T.J?
Two-shoulder T-J.
DJ Dillishaw, shout out.
Shout out.
Taito Ivasa, another one.
Looking good on the recon,
and then a recon for Dillishaw.
They just double up on these packs quite a bit, don't they?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.
I mean, good cards, good cards.
It's hoping better for the autos.
That's some better hope for the autos.
All right, last pack.
Here we go.
Let's rip into it.
Let's see what we got.
me something good. John John Nunn about to go down.
Ogerio Bontarine.
Okay.
Fly away.
Magamanaolyev, out of 2.99, it looks like.
1.99. Red on the chronicles.
I like that. It's cool looking.
Islam Makashev.
The champion. The champion.
The UFC's best.
Base card. Oh, here we go. A little Brandon Moreno, blue
Phoenix, I think. Blue Phoenix. That's what it looks like.
And it looks like we got a little number on that guy.
Yeah, out of 99 on that one.
We have some research to do.
We need to get a Beckett magazine.
These are some decent cards here.
I really, really like this one.
Yeah, we got an Izzy prestige.
Ooh.
Ooh, a little Zhang Wei Li red crown.
I thought those are brass knucks.
This is out of 199.
This is pretty cool.
That's a pretty cool looking card.
That's a, yeah.
Out of 199, too.
like that oh you don't like it frank
rookies and stars
Sean Brady
shout out to Sean Brady who just got married last night
wow congratulations the Sean Brady indeed
Izzy
Izzy crown okay
Nice
not the red crown though
Another Izzy Recon and Daveson
Figurado black
All right
There's three Izzys in one pack
Yeah so
It's not a bad guy to have three of
So here's what we're looking at
Top Spot
Zhang Wei Lee, the red crown, this is tremendous, out of 199.
Brandon Moreno, Blue Phoenix, out of 99.
Magamette Ancalaev Red Chronicle out of 199.
Francis Inganu, blue luminance, I believe this is, out of 99.
A Tisha Torres Flux Otto.
A Amanda Nunez Red Recon out of 199.
A Juliana Pena Auto
Chronicles Auto,
not bad at all that.
It's a pretty cool looking card too.
John Jones blue XR out of 99.
And then we got a Taitui Vasa
Blue Chronicles also out of 99.
So quite a few numbered cards, man.
I will say this.
I have looked up just the Zhang Wei Red Ground.
There's one on eBay selling right now
for $28, almost $30.
bucks just for the red crown
of Zhang Wei Li. I love it.
I love it. Do I just start selling
these off?
You gotta look at what's actually sold.
Start up the eBay store? Does it have any bids on it,
the $28 one? I think that's
just like, hey, this is what it's worth, buy it.
Oh, wow, buy it now. That's kind of lame.
You never know if it's going to get sold then.
Like if it's getting bids?
You can filter by what has
been sold.
All right, let's see.
Frank, you want to run my eBay store?
Yeah.
Nah, ma'am.
Julianna Pena, 20 bucks.
Is it the, which kind of, is it the origins autograph?
Which one?
What kind of signature card is.
Julianna Pena, Chronicles Auto.
Chronicles Auto.
Chronicles Auto.
Ah, there it is.
About 17 bucks for that one.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
Not bad at all.
I will, uh, I will take what we can get, man.
I'm sure there's John Jones ones.
Someone just hit me up on Twitter.
Shout out to Ace, H-G-R-Z.
Say, keep those base cards, Jones especially,
just winning that belt.
I got an early Connor base from the Bloodline sets.
Goes for 300 plus.
Whoa.
Yeah, so we'll hang on to that.
I'm telling you, I think there's some good ones in there.
I'm sure the Connor ones are all right.
I'm sure that some of those Habibs could be worth something.
Yeah.
Here comes Jean-Jon-Zon-Nan.
Big opportunity for her.
A lot of people feel like this could be the title
Eliminator right now, and I just don't know if I'm so,
I don't know if I'm feeling the same level of confidence.
We have Amanda Lamosh.
We have Rosamai Yuniz out there.
It would not stun me whatsoever
if Rosnamu Yunis got the next title show
with Zhang Wei Li.
And I feel like if Jessica Androge wins this fight,
you just have to do Jessica Androge versus Rosnamu Yunus three.
Like, I don't care if it's at 15 or 25.
it doesn't matter.
Like, what are we waiting for here?
Now, in your opinion, who do you think gets this one done?
I'm picking Justcon Drudge.
Okay.
Third round TKO.
Third round TKO.
I don't hate that.
It could be a fight where Jan Jarnan is up two rounds.
Wow.
When it happens.
That would be a bummer for me.
I am on Jan Jownan.
Shocked the world.
Our very own Jedmishu.
It's not a bad bad.
It says it is a lock that Just Gondrge will win.
So I haven't listened to all of No Bettsbarred.
I will say he probably saw the betting line and either,
probably had something to say like, how the hell is this?
That's the typical Jed move, yeah.
I respect it, though.
I respect it.
The Scott Holtzman-Claid Gwita bet will go down in history.
Just Scandrude.
Just Gondrages is terrifying.
If she wins, I will be in no way shocked.
Oh, she's doing the thing.
Oh, wow.
All right.
Okay
She looks
Piss
Yeah
115
Full Camp
This will be
Her third time fighting in
2023 won't it
Is it?
You're right
You're absolutely right
She did it before Gilbert Burns
She did it before Gilbert did
Yeah
Unbelievable
That's true
That's true
That's true
Going with the green
I feel like that's not typical for Androj.
It's a new day.
She's at that perfect height, man,
to just bounce between 115 and 125.
Yep.
This is a good fight.
I mean, this is a really interesting fight.
Yes.
Very intriguing.
Very intriguing fight.
Most wins in UFC women's history.
15 for Jessica Andrade.
She's got the most fights in UFC women's history as well.
Former champ.
Second most finishes in UFC women's history with eight.
There it is.
This will be fight number 24 in the UFC for Jessica.
Angela Hill will be at 23 next week.
And then Random Marcos, number three, Manoninez, 17.
Raquel Pennington, now without an opponent.
But because Renéaldon.
Yeah, Cary.
Obviously, yeah.
Curie says to what they're going to do with that.
Well, Raquel Pennington, according to Dana White, is going to be the back.
backup fighter for that main event.
So are they just going to scrap that one altogether?
What's the new main event going to be?
Yeah.
Do you just bump Anthony Smith, Johnny Walker back a week and make that the main event?
I don't like the idea of that.
I like keeping that.
What's Kyle Barolio doing?
I don't know.
It doesn't matter because it's time for the tale of the tape.
Let's take a look.
How do these two match up?
Let's see.
There it is.
Just Gondrage, clearly the more experienced fighter here.
Janjohn, on, two years old.
four inch height advantage, only a one inch reach advantage.
Both women championship weight,
115 pounds for this pivotal straw weight matchup.
Could the winner face Zhang Wei Lee next?
We shall find out.
Jan Shanan getting introduced.
As a plus 145 dog.
An all Chinese championship.
That would be huge.
That would be huge.
That would be huge.
Let's see if she pulls it off, man.
This is an intriguing fight.
I'll tell you what, man.
You know who's very popular in Boston?
Zhang Wei Lee.
Very popular.
I think Zhang Wei is going to continue to get more and more popular.
She's very popular in Boston.
She was a guest fighter the last time the UFC was in Boston in October 2019.
She got to meet Tom Brady, which was like a dream.
John Wee Lee?
Yeah.
She went out to Foxborough before going to the Garden for that card,
which is headlined by Chris Wydeman moving up to 205 fighting Dominic
Reyes. That's how that card was capped off. And
Zhang Wei Lee did a scrum. And we asked her about her visit to Boston. And she said she got to
meet Tom Brady and she had like stars in her eyes. Wow. I mean, I'd have stars in my eyes
too if I got to meet Tom Brady. I'm not going to
shout out to Frank. Shout out to
the other Andrage. Yes.
Here we go. Jessica Andrej is looking mean. She looks serious. I would not
want that on the other side of the octagon.
Here we go. Oh, no glove touch.
John's like, nope, not doing it.
She shook it off.
I wonder if she's going to regret that.
Curious, man.
Zion's speed enough of an advantage to get a win here.
Does she have enough defensive grappling?
That's the thing.
To get the win here.
Nice leg kick from the man.
Like that. Like that leg kick.
Wow, that's a good point by Anik.
One round for Andrage, obviously the submission of
of
Lemos.
Yes.
And now this is already her third fight.
Wow, they are chucking them.
I love it.
This is kind of probably not the fight Jan once.
She wants to be getting out.
Stick and move, stick and move kind of.
You know, use that speed.
Androge is kind of...
You'd like that, wouldn't you, Frank?
Not because you bet...
Sure, sure. Frankie, sure.
That's the tattoos.
Tattoos are cool.
I like it.
I like how she's got the headdress tattoo
that matches the headdress that she wears.
That's pretty sick.
The tiger on the forearm.
Yeah, yeah.
Androge, cool, that's for sure.
Yes.
The thing with Yon is she just can't...
It's kind of the same thing we said
about the Arnold Allen
Max Holloway fight.
She cannot let Andrade
start to start flowing and start flowing.
Oh, no. Absolutely not.
Ooh, nice left hand.
Oh, D'Raj just throwing caution
to the win.
She ate a couple big shots from Yon there.
Vitor keeping a safe
Yeah, you know, you know.
You don't see Vitor in there too often.
You can't be busy.
Oh, nice combo from Yon.
Jessica just can't really get to her?
Oh, almost.
Those were close.
Clipped their touch.
One or one on Drogh is going to show.
Oh, nice.
Big.
Big shot from Yon.
Boxing looks great for Yon so far.
Just fainting getting Jessica to bite a little bit.
Oh, nice light kick.
Oh!
Oh, oh, Yonan Jahn!
Oh, my God, with the finish, her first finish.
She finishes.
Chesgand Drudge in the first round.
Oh, my God.
Holy cow.
Plus 185.
Gong it up, you know.
Plus 185, Yon.
Gong it up.
Woo!
Let's go.
I cannot believe that.
Wow.
I cannot believe that.
First finish.
Wow.
That was.
crazy. Holy guacamole. Wow. Wow. I got to see right hand land.
Just melted.
Yon Jiannan. Wow. We need to talk about Vitor. She just started chasing her.
Boom! Right hand right over the top on Dros goes down and then hammer fist the lower.
What was yawn by Keo? What a great stoppage by that referee, Frank.
Oh.
Damn.
Shout out to the Jan backers out there.
What?
We're not only on this,
but also when she fought McKenzie Dern.
I mean,
Jan is a moneymaker lately, bro.
Castro had like plus 220 against McKinsey Dern.
That's a great call.
I mean, let's go, Jan.
Yon by K.
Plus, $1.84?
Damn.
Yon by K.
You could have gotten in at plus 950.
Yon by Kio in round one.
Let's see.
Yon wins
By your neighbor coming in?
Yon wins by K-O
in round one plus 2,200.
Damn!
I don't know why you would ever take that.
Dude,
someone show me the slip.
You know you're going to get a parley slip.
That was...
With that is one of like the eight pieces.
Jan, Jiao, non.
Let's go.
Jan John,
Big John, first round knockout.
I don't mean to expose my...
Over four and a half submission attempts.
Like just the weirdest card you've ever seen.
plus 87,000.
Oh.
Janjohn, Janjohn, massive win.
Dude, she might have just got herself a title shot.
She might have just leaped over everybody after that performance.
Wow.
Wow.
Incredible.
Absolutely incredible.
Oh, incredible, dude.
I can't believe that just happened.
She's melted her.
Wow, dude, back to back.
These last two fights have definitely made up for the,
the opener. That's for sure.
That is for sure, man. It's tough.
I don't mean to expose my ignorance here, but there's
three of us back here who were like, how was
that a knockout?
What do you mean? How was it a knockout?
It just looked like she fell, and then it looked like Vito
cut it off before we could establish
if there was any actual damage.
I mean, that's just three of us.
We would all be wrong. I can't tell if you're trolling us right now.
They just showed it in slow motion and, like,
her right hand fully connected with her chin.
There was no complaints.
And then she fell, yeah.
But, I mean, usually when you're knocked out, you fall like timber, you know, like lumber.
You just...
I mean, she, like, left her feet.
We're wrong.
We're wrong.
Bad stoppage.
Frank says bad stoppage.
I agree.
She landed like four unanswered hammer fists.
I preface this with, I'm exposing my ignorance here, but I'm just telling you what it looked like to a casual.
I mean, look, you...
Rick, how much did you bet on Jessica and Drudge?
Tell me.
How much did you bet on Jessica on that?
I add the zero here.
right out of tape
sorry
I mean just
the freeze of this
right hand
should answer all the questions
look at that
it literally froze on her
off of her feet
off of her feet
holy smokes
I'm almost out of
this beverage here
oh you got the prime
man it feels if we just lost
the stream again it really feels like
it's so silent in here
it really does
Yeah, it's like quiet has come over us.
Wow.
Maybe we should have saved one more pack.
Yeah, we maybe should have.
Should have saved that T. Chita Torres Auto Pack.
What's the Xbox up to?
Yeah, we can probably...
What is the Xbox up to?
Let's rip some Xbox while we figure out this stream.
I mean, I'm riding on Cloud 9, bro, with that...
With that Yon knockout. Wow.
Yes, and then we're going to have a special guest joining us.
for this co-main event fight.
Yes.
Which is right around the corner.
All right.
I mean, Gilbert Burns and Belah Muhammad.
Yon's spitting on the mic?
Yep.
She's just called for the title shot.
I have to say this.
And I know...
I'm just going to say it.
The media tweets,
one of the worst ideas ever.
It drives me nuts.
I think a lot of people...
Even, like, I don't even care if I get on or not.
But it's just rough.
And you're going to throw some fighters up there?
Cool.
You know, you want to throw some?
I don't know.
It just, it denies me at this point.
It's run out of course.
I think a lot of people, like,
curate the tweets to try and get on.

Boo!

Yeah, after a big win coaching K.S. Williams.
Maybe.
I can't tell, dude.
I can't tell with the law.
I'm nervous.
I don't, yeah, I don't know.
I'm nervous.
Let's play the video game version and see if his ankle's hurt there.

Yeah.

I'm worried about this, man.

It's got to be over.
Herb, what are you doing?
Remember the name, baby.
This game sucks.
We're not going best of seven.
That's it.
Okay, let's go.
Okay.
I mean, we're waiting on Jed.
We just got a first round knockout by Janjohn.
Then.
I mean, come on.
Come on.
All right, well, this is, I mean, this has given me hope that Bilal is going to be ready to go.
All right.
All right.
Huge.
Oh, God.
Huge shots by Gilbert Burns here.
Oh, man.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah, there we go.
Pull guard.
Like that.
God.
I like that.
I like that.
Oh, Ghi-D.
Oh, he switches positions.
What was that, Frank?
Do you want to ask the chat?
What they think about this?
Of the game?
Like a chat bet for.
No, let's do main event.
Oh yeah, there it is.
There it is.
There it is.
There it is.
There it is.
There it is.
There it is.
We jabbed our way to a win.
Sorry, Frank?
We're having some problems with the guests, getting on Zoom.
Oh, that's all right.
Is he fully out?
He hasn't told us that he's fully out, but we'll keep you posted.
Okay.
Our end, his end?
His.
All right, cool.
We can play the blind game now.
It's like as long as we can keep the blame.
Jed.
Is that 3-1?
That's 3-1.
Might have to tag in.
Maybe we'll see if
Shaheen wants to tag in.
If we can't.
Sheen's around, you know?
Kind of missing the old chat bet stuff here.
I'll throw a line to him.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Oh, big left hand.
Big right hand, I mean.
Got my left and right mixed up.
There it is.
There it is.
There it is.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, look at this.
This guy's a killer.
You got a block.
4-1.
4-1.
Easy work.
Remember the name, Mike.
Remember the name.
All right.
They are making their walks.
Gilbert Burns looks revved and ready to go.
All right, that's enough Xbox for now.
Also take the camera.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, here comes Gilbert Burns.
Walk into the...
Kind of nervous for this below.
Walk out.
I just want Gilbert to, like, sprint into the cage.
Should we go watch Ball all walk?
Will the ankle be able to see anything?
What if he just sprints out?
What if he comes out with like a full leg cast on?
And it takes it off right before the fight's going to start.
Just full on trolling.
Who had it the tape on their feet and they had to take it off?
John Jones.
John Jones, John Jones, yeah.
All right, Gilwood Burns.
Getting ready.
Giving final.
hugs and thank you to his coaches, his corners.
Gilbert Burns just looks so much younger with that hairstyle.
Lined up nice, ready to go.
Lion Tattoo.
Get the Lion Taddy.
It's a big fight.
Five rounds.
Very high stakes.
Now, Herb is doing his thing.
Herb is doing his thing.
Herb had won championship last night.
in Brumfield, Colorado.
Must have caught a flight this morning.
Very hands-on in that main event for anyone that watched.
A lot of clinch breakups by Herb Dean last night.
He's got to do.
He's got to do them.
I respect it, Frank.
I respect it.
Gilbert Doreno Burns.
Little Billy Struddish, kind of.
All right, here we go.
Here's the...
The moment we've all been waiting for.
The arrival of Bala Muhammad.
And the boo-birds are flying.
All right.
I mean, this is a well-produced walkout.
He's got the lights.
Red lights.
While dancing.
I think I'm just reading too much into everything now.
It might be.
I think I'm just reading it because now I'm looking at his body language.
Oh, someone threw him the Palestinian flag.
Yeah, there we go.
Oh, all right.
Breaking the rules.
I love a rule breaker.
He didn't bring it himself.
Look, they're slapping five.
and now he gives the flag to a fan.
Probably somebody he knows.
Seems certainly like he knows him.
Belal Muhammad.
I'm just so nervous, dude.
I don't know what's going to happen.
I'm just like, I just, I'm having flashbacks to the...
Is Kevin Holland the little point?
I'm having flashbacks to the Dillishaw fight.
I think that's it.
Yes, we don't want to see that happen.
He looks happy.
He looks ready to go.
Tremendish condition.
There is with his team, his coaches, Louis
Taylor. Mama dancing around.
This is such an
interesting fight. I just want to see
his feet when he walks into the cage.
If his ankles taped, if there's...
I'm just, like, I'll be so upset if this ends
in, like, first round, I don't know.
He's on, like...
And there's Herb Dean getting that final check-in.
I mean, his corner
looks hyped up. His corner looks ready to go.
He's dancing a little bit.
Smiling.
Run. Run up those stairs.
He's not giving anything away.
Oh, he's in a full squat and looks comfortable.
See those ankles, man.
Zooms, zoom, zoom.
Nope, they're just not giving anything away on this broadcast.
All right, let's go to the tail of the tape
for this five-round co-made event in the UFC's welterweight division.
There we go.
22 and 3, 22 and 5 killers.
Gilburn's two years older, an inch shorter, one inch, reach disadvantage.
Game as game comes used to him.
Yeah, Burns 171, Blahmahmad, and at 170.
Here we go, Bruce Buffer.
Getting the crowd all fired up.
Love the tucks.
Purple's kind of a bold choice, but it's like a very almost hidden purple.
Both guys are very focused here, very focused.
vodka.
It's unfortunate
we will not have...
Yeah, so no Jedd Michoud?
But the good news is
if we don't get him,
he will be on the post-fight show tonight,
hopefully. I feel very good about that
to react to all of this.
And we'll see...
So Jed on No Bet's Bar just introduced
what he is called the Chat-G-T-Bet.
And you can't...
I guess basically you cannot ask
who's going to win.
You have to present it.
How is the fight going to play out?
Is essentially what he does?
the fight, then Chad GBT
selects a winner. He's like four and two doing it.
The machine chose
Bilal Muhammad to win by a
close decision. Close decision, okay.
Yes. My final pick was
Bilal Muhammad fourth round
TKO.
You'll see I have Belal Muhammad in the over one and a half,
so we'll see what happens.
Man, bummer about Jed.
He laughed at me.
He'll be on.
Don't you worry.
He laughed at me for taking Janjohn.
He'll be on?
Yeah, yeah.
We're feeling good about this?
We're going to have him here in a second.
Okay.
Excellent.
Here we go.
I'm, uh, I'm nervous.
I'm nervous.
I don't know what else to say.
I'm nervous right now.
I'm nervous.
Don't even give them, they're not even giving him a face off.
All right.
Here we go.
Jed's here, audio only for now.
But we'll see his beautiful face at just a few minutes.
All right.
Jed, how are you, my friend?
Guys, I'm so excited.
I made it in time for the fight.
Ghost Jed, what's up, dude?
We just started the fight.
448 left in the first round.
I can see the fight.
Sweet, sweet, sweet.
I just can't see, I can see y'all.
You just can't see me.
What do you think of the ball's ankle?
What do you make of it?
You know, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I'm going to be honest.
I like that.
I missed all of the pre-em precept stuff trying to figure out some tech issues.
Oh, wow, you're having real bad tech issues, huh?
You know.
What did you do?
Drop your laptop in the toilet or something?
No, I may have thrown it against the wall when my continuing curse of every time
can we talk about it?
I don't want to talk about it.
I don't want to talk about it.
You laughed at me a little bit when I took Janjohnette.
I didn't laugh at you.
I believe my exact words were I don't understand this one.
And every time I say that I lose.
You did preface that.
But there was some chuckles.
There were some chuckles.
Look, every time I say that.
The curse might.
The curse might actually be starting to be real.
Either way, let's get to the comane here.
Chat GPT, Belal on the line.
The chat GPT bet.
All right, there we go.
We're throwing a left leg kick there.
It went up out of that one.
I think I'm going to go ahead and say, minute 20 in.
Oh, good luck to him from below.
Look, stamp.
I've been feeling so good about this chat.
He passed.
He passed.
He passed the test.
I'm not worried about the ankle.
The ankle's all right.
No, he's fine.
Oh, Belalma, Holmes and rolls his ankle.
It's fine.
Gilbert.
Jinks it.
Gilbert's not doing anything.
He's ready to quit already.
All right.
Jeez,
are you actually watching the fighter?
He's just sitting here with this.
Look,
I believe in my guy,
and I'm here to back my guy,
particularly because I really would like him to win.
I kind of need it at this point.
That would be cool.
That would be cool if you want.
Are you having a tough night at the ponies, Jed?
We started out really well,
and then things have not gone well since then.
Yeah, I feel you.
I feel you.
New Dober.
Didn't see that one coming.
I cannot believe Matt for Vola knocked him out.
But it looks like Bilal is doing well so far.
I mean, so is Gilbert.
Pretty good right hand from Belaw.
Pretty close first round.
Yeah, very ball-y fight right now, which is good.
He's balloling all over out there, and that's what we came for.
Yes.
Gilbert working the leg kicks.
Which is very smart, especially with all the rumor and innuendia.
Yeah.
But it could all have just been rumors.
Ooh, Burns throwing heat.
I mean, we're getting some redness.
on the leg of Muhammad.
Yep.
It's a smart move.
I'm interested to see this in the later rounds
because it should favor Balal,
but also the short notice,
maybe it doesn't.
I wonder if Belal starts going for takedowns
at any point.
Oh, nice body kick.
That's what we're looking for here.
I'd like to remind all of the viewers
that the chat.
Oh, speaking of takedowns,
there's Gilbert Burns with one,
and they're right back up to their feet.
Wow.
Oh, another body kick.
Yeah, that body kick.
is nice from Belaw.
It's mugged that body kick.
He's thumping it in there.
Yeah, that's nice, man.
I like the stance switching from Belal, too.
What did you want to remind the viewers, Jed?
That the chat, GPT bets, the specific parameters,
you know, it said that Belaw's going to hurt Gilbert in the fourth round,
and the fifth round's going to be a lot of survival from Gilbert.
So I want to put that out there, see if the machines have won already,
or if there's still time to fight them off.
Well, if it keeps the landing.
and kicks like that to the body.
Yeah, those are nice kicks, man.
That was a really nice get-up from Balal too as well.
Yeah.
Men's a very good defensive wrestler.
Like a still very close first round.
I'd probably favor Balaw at this point.
The body kicks, yeah.
The body kicks are adding up.
Gilbert's just fainting a lot.
Ooh, going for it there.
This little counter sneaky left hand.
Oh, here's it.
Oh, Gilbert Burns gets rocked.
Alaw with the left hand.
No.
Knocked burns down.
Looks like he's recovered a little bit.
Oh.
I don't know if that hurt him or if that just caught him off balance.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It looks like we got some,
looks like we got some nose coming from the blood of Gilbert Burns now.
Yeah.
He seems like he's pretty clear-headed,
so maybe he just got caught off balance,
but that was exciting.
Either way,
that's a big moment for for Blah Muhammad in the first round.
Man,
he's countering these body kicks by Gilbert very well.
Okay.
Gilbert is throwing fastball.
Oh, nice catch.
Nice catch on the kick, man.
Exciting first round here.
I like this, dude.
I hope we get the 25 out of this one, man.
So do I.
Body kick.
It would be great.
I like the body kick faint.
I like the little front kick, too, yeah.
He's working well on the feet, man.
He's working well.
Oh, he kicked him to the head!
Nice.
Wow.
I'm not, did he kick him in the head?
Yeah, no, I'm not fully sold on that.
I think he kicked him in the shoulder.
I got to see the replay.
I need to see the replay.
Looked a little wobbly.
All right.
I'm going first round below, dude.
You can't see me holding up mine, but yeah.
10-9 below.
He's not actually holding anything.
10-9 below, dude.
That was a nice round from him.
Now I am.
Oh, now he's holding.
That was a nice, exciting round, dude.
He's already inflicted some damage on Gilbert.
RTN, remember the name.
He's bleeding early.
Good round for below.
Good round for below.
They're saying Gilbert's rushing a little bit.
Jed, I'll tell you what kind of, because this is one of those fights where when it was first announced, I was like, Gilbert's going to run them over.
But then I started rewatching fights, and I rewatched for the first time since the watch party, I rewatched the Mazadol fight.
I saw your notes on it, and you came to where I was at.
I didn't love it, man.
He did not look good in that fight.
I have not rewatched that fight, and I'm where I'm going to.
where y'all are at or the opposite of where y'all are at i thought gilbert looks pretty good he looked
good loud i have that there's jed there he is that hey here we go round two under what is that the
i see the lock is that flyweight unders or heavyweight overs no this is flyweight unders but if you
so they're showing it up because the flyweight unders have been taking some losses lately so uh just the
one just the one was uh because we lost this one i know i think we got i think we got i think we dodged a bullet i
I never even took it.
They just showed the live odds, minus 130.
Drafking Sportsbook's actually showing minus 265.
For Blah?
That's a big problem.
I mean, it could easily swing after any of these rounds.
Yes.
Yes.
But that's just a big difference, though, between the odds they're showing and what we've got.
I like what Ballal's showing so far, though.
He seems to...
Ooh, nice right hand from Gilbert.
Nice right hand from Gilbert.
He seems to be the quicker of the two.
Oh, I love that body kick.
The body kick is working.
He's setting the range really well.
Gilbert is just being forced to contest this
where Belal wants.
Yep.
And that's why he's firing
as many kicks as he can.
I think Gilbert probably,
and maybe this will come later in the fight,
I think maybe Gilbert expected Balal
to pressure more than he is.
I mean, he's putting on pressure,
but in a more calculated
and sneaky kind of a way.
Yeah.
Or Gilbert's just getting old, man.
That's one of the things
Very real question for me of that.
Yeah, that was one of the things I kind of took away from the rewatch.
Not too much younger than him, though.
A couple of years.
No.
Gilbert got a lot of fight miles, too, on him, man.
I guess Ballal does.
I was going to say, he's only got two more fights than him.
Yeah.
I mean, the, the birds who fought moz at all, like, it's not, that guy still beats most dudes at 1170.
Yeah, I mean.
This is a razor close round right now, and I think Gilbert's probably edging him.
At this point, yeah.
We got a lot of real estate.
It's time to get those kicks going, B'Lall.
Yep.
Yep.
Joe Rogan, making a good point.
Yeah, Den's the arm, even if you're blocking him.
He's been okay in the booth today.
Okay, is, yes, okay is good.
That's all we, that's all we're asking for here.
We don't have high aspirations.
He needs to stop trying to score fights, though.
Do we, do we think?
Who's reft mini fights in the UFC already?
We think the law.
He used to fight, right?
He's pretty good.
We think the law goes for a take down at any point here.
We are.
think if so it won't be till later i don't think and right now i don't think he has any reason to
or round and a half in and oh nice right hand from gilbert yeah oh yeah nice one all right we got
the over one and a half out the way there we go like that like that like that folks that's uh parley
pals it's now on it's now all on al germain sterling new york rick's pick incredible i've come
around uh i'm i'm fully on sterling and i might look like a total idiot but
But I've come there.
I've gotten to it.
Like, yeah.
Henry Sehudo's old.
So I was like the complete opposite of you did.
Love that body kick.
He's going back to it.
The way you viewed it like Sehudo is going to run Sterling.
I viewed it that Sterling was going to run Seharto.
I've softened.
I'm still on Sterling.
Nice.
But I just don't know.
I listen to the preview show.
Oh.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a great, great website.
Great content, you know.
But yeah, I thought Sehudo would run him.
And then I've just really come around to,
you know
Sterling is just committed to having
the most underrated championship
career of all time.
What was that? It's midnight, Frank.
Just by the way, I just wanted to give you an alert.
Oh, nice.
We've done it. We've made it.
We've made it to another day, guys.
We made it another day.
It's a little inside joke we had here.
My watch beeps.
Oh, it's a joke to you.
Frank hates it as an audio guy.
Sure, everybody loves it.
I mean, man, not the most exciting around here,
but I'd say Gilbert has had the better moments so far.
Probably.
With the little blood coming off the nose.
Yeah, I mean, that happened last round.
We've got three legs of the parley pals down.
Al Jermaine Sterling is New York Rakes Pick.
What were the other, I don't remember the other two that cash.
Oh, which is a little half for you.
Good little exchange.
Over one and a half was Ariel.
I was Ribeiroh, it doesn't go to a decision.
Over one and a half Rodriguez's Jandy Roba was Frank.
Oh, who.
That was a little sweaty early.
I was a little sweaty.
There was some moments there.
That was interesting.
Winners are winners, as they said.
They are.
I mean, I was never actually worried.
I was just playing it out.
And then New York, Rick, could have gone so many other, so many different ways, but he went full Sterling.
I love it.
I believe in Rick, too.
I love that energy.
It's a closely line fight.
Nice left hand from Bilal.
If you're curious.
A little bit better down the stretch in this round, but.
Oh, there it is.
Nice right hand.
This is a close round.
Yeah.
I'm going to close round.
Close round.
Close round.
Oddly, the live alternative now minus 360.
I'm, I'm gonna...
I'm gonna give it to burns.
I'm gonna edge it to burns.
I'm gonna say it's 1919, but like,
I wouldn't be shocked.
Good job, Chad.
Boom.
Yeah, Frank, don't bring your nonsense
about me not holding things up.
Yeah, exactly.
Obviously, I was doing it.
Mike, I want to understand what that says.
1990.
1990.
It's a 10-9 burns.
It's a terrible start to the 9.
10-9.
10 and rewrite it.
It's a terrible start to the nine.
Shout out to the air shocks.
Yeah, it was basically just like a question mark
without the period on the bottom,
and I couldn't fix it.
All right, all right, all right.
Three rounds to go.
I'm trying to plug up that nose.
It sounds like the corner's telling Gilbert
to pick up the pace a little bit.
I think, yeah, I mean,
still looks pretty good here for the short notice.
I mean, he's been very active,
so I guess he's in shape.
Doesn't look too bad.
This ice pop's gotten a little warm in a room temp ice pop.
Oh.
Scratches the throat a little bit.
That's the good stuff.
Yeah, best flavor ever, right?
Yeah.
I think I'm going back to orange, Frankie.
You never get this with orange.
There's only one left.
We'll have to order some ourselves.
But this is the bottle on the mat, so it's cool.
All right, here we go.
Round three.
We'll all just keep putting him back.
Putting him on the back foot.
Oh, growing shot.
Low blow?
Yeah, a little low blow.
Oh, Belal says he's good.
We're right back into it.
Right back into it.
No nonsense there.
But he did anyway.
Love the big, the New Jersey
Commission badge on their,
on their poloes.
Love that.
Got to let people know.
I would love to get my,
I would love to get my hands on one of those.
You too, Frank, I'm sure.
I mean, I already have one.
Classic.
Autographed by Gary Copeland.
Everybody.
Nice.
Gary Copeland's star of the evening thus far.
Oh, yeah.
Hope he's doing the main event.
I mean, it's going to be Herb, right?
Yeah, probably.
I don't know.
Did you watch one last night?
Herb was the star there.
It's true.
Action, boys.
Action.
Come on.
I only watched the main event of one because I was doing other things.
But the main event was doing.
You know, it was a Friday night and I was off.
I was hanging out with friends at a brewery.
Nice.
Good time.
That's aggressive.
Look at that.
A little head kick.
I like that.
I like that kick, man.
Just a little tap.
Just a little tap.
Funny how like the.
Funny how the ankle was a big concern,
and now he's just endlessly throwing kicks with that left, that left leg.
I mean, you think it was false information?
Maybe you just ran with it.
Oh, Gilbert with the leg.
Oh, all right.
I was, don't really even know what happened there.
Don't even know what happened there, either.
Burns is a couple choice.
I would like one or both men to start fighting.
Wow.
Wow.
Gilbert Burns is right, his right arm is red as hell.
I mean, he's nasty.
blocked a lot of kicks.
Yes, like that thing is super red.
The right arm, right above the elbow.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's like a...
It's nasty.
Sunburn.
Yeah, I don't think it's sunburn, man.
I think it's kickburn.
It looks like a sunburn, but it ain't.
I don't think it's sunburn.
All right, but I'll start to look...
I like the pressure.
I like the pressure.
The jab's working well.
He's not getting too aggressive.
He's not pulling a Jessica and droge
and just running
around with her face, not even looking at her. That's what killed me. The clip when they show,
and her face is like looking up and left and yons to the right. Like, I don't know what you're doing.
He's a ball, man. Look at the ball. Split in the hands there, splitting the hands for below.
Why did you back off? You were doing the thing. I liked that. I liked that.
Ooh, nice right hand from Burns. I like that.
That was a bit.
Yes, bro. Nice combo to the leg kick from the wall right back at him, man.
180 mile an hour heater down the middle chest.
Oh, nice knee. He went for it. He went for it.
I like it. If Gilbert starts doing this, I'm going to get real worried real fast.
Man, he's pressuring down on the gas pedal a little bit. I like it.
Feels like both guys are getting a little more active.
While continuing to switch stances.
Oh, look at Ballal. Just cardio kickboxing the hell out of him right now.
No. Just tapping.
No, take down attempts.
I love it.
That left foot and ankle does look a little rough.
I mean, if it is rough, he's...
If he's roughed, he's hopped up on some painkillers,
and he is battling through it because he's having no time throwing that kick up there, man.
Adrenaline's a hell of a drug.
Yeah, he's using that left leg as his main weapon.
Oh, that was a sneaky right hand behind it, too.
Oh, that's another nice right hand from Gilbert.
Burns throwing hard.
hard.
Gilbert's done that combination a couple of times.
The lunging right and then a right hook still following behind it,
and it's landed.
Gilbert's at a couple moments,
but I'd still lean below for this round.
I think this.
Oh,
that's a nice left right there.
That was an intercepting left.
Yeah, dude.
And just keep kicking.
Just keep shaking the arm out.
There it is.
You're shaking the arm out now.
Nice, man.
Ooh, start shaking that arm out.
Then you know that things are getting,
getting in the bad way.
And that body kick is there all day, dude.
Keep slamming it into him.
Oh.
What's going on?
John Henning said that something's going on with Gilbert Burns.
He kicked him in the arm 500 times.
Yeah.
I would not at all be surprised if Gilbert Burns had a broken arm at this point.
He has a broken arm.
That would be crazy.
I mean, it happens, man.
And he's, if his corner is telling him to overcome it and he's shaking his arm out,
that feels like, and he hasn't been throwing the left.
lot. Right? Like he's
throwing doubles and triples on the right
side. Wouldn't shock me if his left arm
was in a bad way here.
No, this is right on that he's been kicking.
But the left one he's
dealing with as well.
Huh?
Coming across with the block.
Burns looks really frustrated right now.
I'm going to go below this. He does.
Wow.
Minus 750 on the live on.
Oof.
So wait, how do we do this? Is this
Do we just score the round or the fight is a total?
No, just score the round.
I did both.
10-9 plus 29-28, Muhammad.
I've got Belaw 29-28.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a scorecard one of those judges had at 3027.
Yeah.
I could be that.
I messed up the nine again.
You could convince me also that it's 29-28 the other way.
You could give Burns that first round.
It's a competitive round.
Yeah, I don't think that's great.
Nah, no, no, no, no.
I thought that.
I wouldn't do it.
thought that first round was pretty clearly
Ballah, because he had those moments where he
put Gilbert down. Whether it was
dropping him or not, I mean, those were
visually appealing moments
for Belomahamad. Sure.
I think so far the second
was the biggest toss-up.
Belal Muhammad minus $1,300 on the
live line. That is a big
number. Yeah, that seems too
big. That number is too big. Kilmer
Burns plus $750?
I don't know if, I mean,
maybe there's just... I might throw a shot down
that that might not be the worst lot in the world draft kings that feels like draft kings know something
let me a area they're just thinking bull burns don't know anything i think it's been conclusively
established that i know nothing so you know though i will say at the opening fight of the night
i got robero after that first round at like minus 300 live that was lovely how much did you put on that
that's great a good amount because i did it was another but i was like he's he's obviously
Oh, Bala has had some major success right now, man.
Chat GPG said round four.
I picked round four KOT.
We'll see.
Whoa.
Burns is jumping back now.
Nice right hand.
There's no quitting him.
Nice right hand.
Nice combo from Ballal.
I like it, man.
I like it.
Oh, that body kick, man.
Just thumping him with it.
That sounds so unfortunate.
I mean, either guy winning here.
What was that, Frank?
Just cut quiet
Yeah
Oh sorry
I'm mesmerized by this fight
Castivated by what's going on
Yeah
I appreciate you filling the silence there
Frankie
Yeah
Yeah
I was waiting
Oh nice left hand from Ballal
Nice body kick man
Below is looking good right now
Body kick is he's just
Ridiculous
Starting to cook
Ooh
That was fancy from Gilbert
That was fancy
I like that, dude.
Nice.
I don't think I've ever seen him throw that.
Of course he's still dangerous.
He's Gilbert Burns.
Can't take him lightly.
That was pretty fun.
And then Blal just shook it off and lands a nice right hand.
Right hand. Yeah.
Blal just doesn't stop moving forward now.
Yeah.
Oh.
Gilbert is now really trying to load up big shots.
Nice left hand.
I like that.
The damage bar, Jed.
This is a great damage bar.
The damage bar would just be incrementally moving down.
Not these big gaps, just slowly inching down.
Oh, goes for a takedown.
No success.
Oh, nice right hand from Gilbert Burns.
Nice right hand.
Holy smokes, though.
Yeah.
That's got to be disheartening for Gilbert.
That was a clean shot.
That was his best shot of the evening.
We talk about Bedoy's chin?
Jed.
We talk about what?
Wadoe's chin?
Dude.
Dude's got a chin.
The whole fight, I was like, we've nailed every part of this,
except for the fact that Badoia seems to be impervious to damage.
Ran it chin on that, man.
That was impressive.
Chin is all out there to get hit, but it works.
If you could just take punches, it's fine.
Yes.
Another take-time attempt, nothing going from Gilbert.
He thought he could do that.
Drew-Dover was.
There you go.
And if Chaos Williams could throw some jobs.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice, Bola.
We don't throw jabs.
Come on.
Keep it going.
Keep the pressure up.
10 minutes.
All you hear is 1-1-2.
1-1-2.
Screaming at him.
He's like, man.
2-3-2 minutes.
Those kicks are just ridiculous.
No other one.
Even like the ones that are just grazing, you could tell.
Oh, nice.
Look a little bodywork there, man.
The wall's having some success, man.
A lot of success.
Yes, that's not working him now.
Minute 13 to go here.
and
Balal could find himself up
3937 heading in around 5.
Feels pretty likely
if this last minute
remains the same.
Yeah.
I got to be honest, though, guys.
However this fight ends,
I don't love either
dude's chance against Leon Edwards
based on this performance.
I don't know, man.
I feel like the champs got this.
I don't know.
Fight by fight.
Yeah.
Ballal just keeps coming, man.
Yeah, man, I really like this forward pressure from Ballal, dude.
Colby.
Ooh, that's a nice right hand from Burns.
Burns has landed a couple of good shots this round.
I was going to say, it feels like Ballal has all this success, has all this success,
and then Burns lands one nice shot, and then it goes back to Bilal having the success.
Yeah.
But this is like, we talk about this all the time.
We talked about it after the Max Holloway Arnold Allen fight.
The ability to take punishment and not get to be able to.
It's bothering you is such a skill.
Oh, yeah.
And Ballal's getting hit hard, and he doesn't show it.
And everything Belal hits Burns with, he's showing it.
I think I'm going Belaw, though.
I'm going Ballal.
For sure, Belaw.
So I'm just going to...
Man, Gilbert Burns looks burnt out.
No pun intended.
I'm going to stop erasing the 10-9 Bilal on my picture.
Yeah.
I...
I think if this goes to the scorecard, the Belaw is going to get it.
Unless a little pre-law...
It's five minutes premature, Frank.
I said if it goes to the scorecards.
It's exactly five minutes.
Did I not just say if it goes to the scorecard?
I mean, it could be a 10-7 at the end of here.
It could.
I think there have been like five 10-7s.
I met 10-8.
You're watching too much of that Hawaiian guy again.
Talking 10-7s.
I believe we should have 10-7s all the time.
Guess on the live line?
Uh, minus 2,000 below.
Very close.
Minus 2100.
You can get Gilbert Beres with plus a thousand.
You got to get that extra 100 points in the book.
You can, uh, yeah, you can get.
I did.
What's the comeback? Like plus nine?
Plus a thousand.
Sydney Sweeney was in the crowd earlier.
My girlfriend texted me.
Easy there on the reaction to seeing Sydney Sweeney.
Oh, wow.
What?
I mean, that's funny.
That's funny.
Talons of actress.
Very talented.
That's what I said.
I love you for you.
Round five, here we go.
Oh, we all, though.
Round five, do we think,
Gilbert needs a finish, right?
Do we think he's got a...
That's what I just said,
but then everyone jumps on me.
That's five minutes too premature there.
I said, if I believe it goes to the score cards,
the law is going to win.
So yes, I think Burns need to finish here.
Ooh, I'm trying to kick from the wall.
Just such a great weapon
Kind of a boring round so far
And by the way, we have some breaking news, Frank
Please.
Breaking.
Breaking news.
For those who are watching the party
And watching the UFC card
And they're unaware what's going on in the world of boxing
Oh, Canola Alvarez.
Canola Alvarez?
Knockout?
Did he lose?
Unanimous decision
Gets the victory over John Ryder
120, 107, 118.
Jeez, Louise!
I don't know.
Yeah, it's not like a barn burner over there in Guadalajara.
Back and forth battle.
Yeah.
They definitely,
they definitely needed to make that fight for sure.
Yeah.
Sometimes you got to just stay busy, you know?
Hey, listen, I'm with you there.
Minus 3,000 is what the broadcast is showing.
I remember Usama was minus 5,000.
Finish is always alive.
It is.
I would not be betting the minus three grand number.
I just wouldn't be betting either side of it.
Now, Jen.
Oh, that's a nice right-in from Gilbert Burns.
Now, Jen.
What's up, Mike?
Bilal Muhammad.
It seems, I don't want to get too premature here.
He's got three minutes to go.
Please stop.
Don't get too premature.
This is actually getting too premature.
Let's just wait until the end of this round.
I'm just going to keep it simple, Jen.
Will Belal Muhammad do the thing?
Will he do the thing?
God, no.
I don't even know what doing the thing would constitute.
He doesn't have to do much here.
I don't know.
Well, we'll, you know, let's not.
second premature, Mike.
Two minutes and 45 seconds.
Let's just,
let's just watch this through.
Was it over four and a half?
Because over betters are about to hit in just a couple of seconds.
That's premature also.
No one's young,
John.
It's four seconds premature.
That feels like that's successful.
We also said about to hit.
Wow.
There you go.
I hit.
All right.
Nice.
Over four and a half betters.
Cache those tickets.
Props to watch.
Honestly,
never in doubt.
Over four and a half.
Rock.
solid. I'm not going to lie, going into this,
it was a little bit worried about the, you know,
the ankle scare. I was like, oh, gosh.
Nice right hand from Belaw.
Is the over one and a half in danger? No, it was not.
Blah, just with the combos.
Just never stopped smooth.
Brood a lot of stuff.
Like that.
I'll admit, I am now a bit surprised
Ballal hasn't gone for.
No takedowns.
We are 23 minutes and seven seconds into this fight,
and there has not been one takedown attempt by Belal.
I would have thought in the fifth round,
Maybe not like a full take-town, but just...
I mean, I wonder if the game plan was to come out here and strike,
see how they did, and they found success,
and they said, let's just keep striking.
Probably. I mean, probably.
I just, I would have thought at some point he would try something different.
Yeah.
Not that he needs to.
He's winning the fight, but, you know, stay, stay frosty.
I mean, you talk about Belaw's cardio, man.
He looks fantastic right now.
It was unbelievable.
Aalelah can go five more rounds.
I'll go five more rounds.
Just...
Well, let's just go.
another 75 seconds.
This dude just doesn't, like,
three and a half weeks notice,
Ramadan, no training camp.
This is who he is.
Dude just trains all the time.
The post-Ramadan guys
doing well tonight.
Yes.
Picking up dubs.
Well, 58 seconds.
58 seconds to go.
Potentially.
Hey, thanks for keeping me.
Trying to keep you honest, man.
Trying to keep you honest.
Let me get out there, you know.
45 seconds to go.
It just kind of feels like Belaw's been a step ahead of him.
Yeah, that quickness, man.
I mean, obviously...
And a little fat footer.
The kicks have been huge, but Blal is just...
Wow, a significant body shot record for Muhammad there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's just...
I mean, Gilbert Burns is going to wake up feeling something tomorrow.
I think Gilbert Burns is about to dump it all out this last 25 seconds.
He's going to have to try and make something happen.
He's got that bounce like he's ready to brawl.
And he needs to, to have any chance.
I mean, he might.
What if he brawes and knocks him out?
I feel like Ball is sitting there waiting for him to brawl.
If I'm Belaw, I'm running around the cage right.
I was like, oh.
Belal knows what he's doing?
Gilbert isn't going after.
Wow.
Shot.
Stunned.
That was a...
All right, I have to say, I have to say, first time betting on Belal Muhammad,
I typically bet against him.
He's constantly underrated, typically an underdog.
I thoroughly enjoyed that.
I thoroughly enjoyed holding a plus one ticket,
one 10 ticket on Belal Mohammed Dern.
You got to be feeling pretty good about yourself.
I ought to feel decent going into those scorecards.
I mean, do you still give Ballal that round?
You know what, Frank?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'd say below.
10-9 Belal right there, Frankie.
100%.
If you want to feel less good,
you can just be prepared because the machines are taking over
because that's not only the first chat GPT hit,
or not a chat GPT win.
It's also the exacto.
Nailed it.
Nanimous decision.
for Bala Muhammad coming in.
Hopefully.
I mean, you never know.
It would be incredible if it didn't.
Honestly, I don't know if I'd be that mad
because it would be too funny.
Look at these kicks, man.
Just smacking them.
Just Bala look great.
Yeah.
So much quicker.
Great performance.
Good footwork, dictated where he wanted,
how he wanted that fight to go.
Herbert Burns,
dapping up Bala as, as we wait.
Yes, Frank?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're about to get the official decision.
Here we go.
Gilbert Burns knows.
Bilal is shushing the crowd.
5045.
If it goes to cards.
5045, 45, 4946, 4946.
Mike, is he going to do the thing?
There you go.
Is he going to do the name?
Belal Mohammed.
Remember the name, baby.
Bang!
I remember the name.
Do you remember the name?
Woo!
Chat GBT, G.T, baby!
Chat GBT, GBT.
Hit your gong, Jed.
I don't have one.
All right, let's see if Ballal does the thing.
Maybe invest in him?
All right.
Wow.
So now it's up to Ballal to do the thing.
I should invest in a gong, you're right.
Let's see if Belal does the thing.
He doesn't have to do much here.
What?
You give me eight weeks I can beat John Jones.
Is that doing the thing?
He was trying to do an A-Team quote, but he jacked it up.
That's basically an A-team quote.
He just screwed it up.
He's not.
Oh, my God.
I know so many people that cashed out their ball ball beds.
They did?
Oh, yeah.
I know quite a few because of that ankle picture.
That's amazing.
Fantastic.
That is beautiful.
Tough scene.
Not me.
Could not be me.
Could not be.
Boom.
Bilal is responding to the arm injury.
Gilbert's arm really was like very red.
Yes, dude.
It was incredibly red, man.
He was peppering that thing all fight.
He fought a fantastic fight, man.
Great performance.
Hey, we're going to see Belalma and get a title shot.
Is he going to do the thing?
Here's his time.
Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan's setting him up.
Let's see what Ball does.
Oh, love that.
I love that.
Not necessarily wrong.
Okay.
I love it.
So he said, New Jersey sucks.
Leon Colby, I'm coming for both you guys.
I'm coming for both you guys.
And then he apologized for Frankie Edgar.
Everybody had to walk through the parking.
I don't know.
It's not as bad as his last two.
I'll say that.
I mean, it's so hard to screw it up in this moment.
The only thing he could have done was, like, call it out of Sonia or something.
I mean, he could have, yeah, he could have done worse.
It would have been hard to do too much good.
That was fine.
That was fine.
I remained thoroughly unconvinced that that man will be fighting for a title within the next year.
He better do.
Oh, Martinebrador legend.
Legend for the devils.
I'm sorry, Skylar asked to.
Umar, Nirmagamatoff.
A true legend.
And the camera got off just before Ali was about to pop his head into the shot.
And there's Sean O'Malley.
Cage side.
With Frankie Edgar behind him.
Great.
Just looking like a great sunglasses.
on O'Malley.
Yes.
It's very bright in there.
Got to be prepared.
Jed,
what's the final prediction here for the main event?
I'm taking out Jermaine Sterling by unanimous decision.
I think he's going to find his way to the back of bunch
and outpoint Zahudo on the feet with length.
All right.
So that's it.
There we go.
Jed, thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for having me, guys.
You enjoy Rob Fawn.
Yes, in his main event.
We will.
Remember, last year, you said, or two years ago, you said Rob Font might be the best Bannoy in the world.
That was certainly a thing that I said.
It's true.
And then I was wrong.
But maybe I'm right again.
Who knows?
We'll see.
We will see.
Tell him I said hi.
And let's go out to Maine Sterling because the world's a better place if Henry Sudo isn't your champion.
Yes.
And we'll see you on the post-fight show, Jed.
We'll see you there, guys.
Thanks, fellas.
It was fun.
Love you, buddy.
Jed Mishu,
Mr. No Gray area from
No Betts Barred fame and Dame
they were good and
the Woody page of Between the Links.
So there you go.
We got the Spiderverse.
Oh, yes.
So you're excited for this.
You guys say you're Marvel haters.
Are you going to see the new Spiderverse?
No.
Never watched the first one.
Are you seriously?
Dead serious.
Like the soundtrack.
It is a good soundtrack.
You both.
you both listen to the soundtrack
and you didn't see the movie?
I saw the movie.
I've seen the movie 100.
All right, right, right.
It's a fantastic movie.
June 2nd, I'll be there.
I'll be in theaters.
Next time you see me sitting on this watch party,
289, I'll have seen the new Spider-Man.
Me too.
We could talk about it.
Yeah, sweet, sweet.
Well, I actually have a breakdown prior to the show.
Oh, probably, yes, my kid is so excited for that.
And the new Ninja Turtle movie
that's coming out as well.
Yeah.
So, Al Jermaine's...
All right, man.
Main event time.
versus Henry Sehudo.
It's going down.
Frank, what's your final prediction on this fight?
This is Sterling.
I'm going with Rick on this.
Okay.
All of confidence in New York, Rick.
Which, I mean, look, like we've said,
New York Rick has a lot of gusto.
He ain't scared.
Yeah, normally we have.
We won't have main event Rick on the show for once.
He's boots on the ground.
He's in the building.
Yeah, I know.
We'll miss him.
He's in the rock.
Oh, man.
Of course, I, like, jump on Twitter and, like, I immediately see those fake payout graphics.
How about, yeah, fake payout graphics?
Speaking of payouts, how about Anthony Pettis, I saw this before the fight, put $21,500 on Bala Muhammad to win, to payout $48,000.
And then he put another $25,000 on him to win another $27,000.
Damn, dude.
Yeah, he cashed out almost a...
A clean 50K on, uh, on Boah Mohamed.
Shout out to Anthony Pettis, bro.
Wow.
Amazing.
It's a pretty good, uh, it's pretty good 25 minutes of work right there.
I would say so.
Oh, yes, I forgot.
We're doing another chat bet.
Let's go.
Before we get Rob Zonkees.
I forgot.
Chat bet is now live.
Uh, I'm sure a lot of you, maybe some newcomers have jumped in.
Uh, cast your vote.
First we'll pick the fighter.
Then we'll pick the method of victory.
We're 0 and 1 on the chat bit tonight.
But that's okay.
Get it all back right here.
Yes.
As we get ready.
For the main event of the beginning.
Wish we had some more cards to rip open, you know?
That's all right.
Have you tried...
Just showing us the back of the cards?
No.
I mean, that's an idea.
Anyone can show the front.
Take something special to show in the back.
Oh, man.
Henry Sohudo.
Your final prediction.
Has anyone has your final prediction for...
I'm going out of the Stirling decision.
I think this is one of those fights
where he starts off great,
and Henry comes on strong down the stretch,
and Sterling holds on to win.
Nice.
Like that.
That's what I think.
That's what I'm expecting.
All right.
Our special guest is about to join us.
Oh, fantastic.
The chat bed is underway.
So cast your vote for the fighter.
We'll go right on to the method of victory.
I'm probably to do that post-haste because...
They're making their walks.
Who's about to walk out?
I love it.
What's he picking?
What's the walkout song?
Okay.
All right.
There he is.
There he is.
So Hudo is back, baby.
Henry's to Hudo is back.
Captain Eric looks more nervous than Henry does.
this is a big moment
he's got the gold medal
he's got the medal
here he comes
let's go
triple C Henry Sehudo

So, hoot by knockout.
All right, I'm taking it.
Also, yes.
Special guest is here.
Let's go.
We have a special guest.
Let me just alert the masses
that the special guest is here.
We're ready to bring them in.
We have a graphic and everything,
so I just want to make sure.
Rob, what's going on, man?
How are we feeling?
Rob fought here.
What's up, guys?
How you do, man?
I'm excited.
An absolute honor to have you on.
The first UFC fighter to join the program here.
We are about nine shows deep.
So you are the first to grace your presence for us.
Appreciate you guys having me, man.
It's awesome.
It's great to have you here.
So obviously, the last watch party we did, you were actually competing, Rob.
You were actually competing.
And I don't know if you got to see this.
We have a clip of our reaction.
We want your reaction to our reaction.
Yes, we want you to react to us reacting to you.
over Adrian Yana's a UFC
287 if we could play that clip
Yeah, let's rewind the clip
and then we'll play it here in a second
Yeah, sure, sure, sure
Get it ready for it.
All right, here we are.
All right, here we go.
Now we got it.
I love the glasses.
Oh, another jab.
The jab's working.
Oh, nice upper cup from fun.
All right, come on.
Oh, me right in.
Come on, Rob.
He's got Yonnas.
Oh, Rob.
Oh, Janice is.
He's still, Rob's going to be careful still.
Yes.
Oh, another right hand.
Oh, no.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Come on, Rob.
Let's go.
We were hype, bro.
We were right.
We got the gun.
He got the 20-1-panied seat on, too.
Yeah, we were hyping in it, man.
We were hyped to say the least, dude.
Oh, that's awesome, man.
Bro.
Unbelievable performance by you, man.
All the credit, dude.
That was such a phenomenal win.
Thank you.
I mean, I hope you guys, hopefully guys bet on that fight because we were the underdog,
so a lot of my friends want some money on that one.
Oh, bro, the plus 160, man.
We were in on it, man.
Let's go.
He was in on it.
What was the most amount of money you won somebody in that fight?
Did anyone, like, share actual figures with you?
No, no.
I think the one I've seen, it was like, like, three, almost like three grand, but like, everybody keeps telling me.
Obviously, they just kidding me.
I was saying, man, we won a bunch of money, won a bunch of money,
but I've only seen one
with like three grand.
I mean, brother, that's still crazy, though.
They got to sit there and watch you fight
and get three grand off it.
Like, that's still nuts.
Yeah, it's pretty cool, man.
It's pretty cool.
And you got to go to Florida to do it, which is nice.
I was, I was, I was, I wasn't having that week, man.
It was awesome, man.
Got to hang out with the family, enjoy that weather,
fight on a paper view card.
You know, I haven't fought in front of a crowd forever.
So it was a great time.
So you were, after the victory,
you were on the MMA hour and you were asked about this fight and we actually posted that article
today and you said it's going to be hard for you to pick against Henry Suhudo in this fight
against Al Jermaine Sterling. Now, obviously time has gone by since that prediction. You probably
had a little more time to ponder and think about the fight. Are you still under that same thought
process or has maybe some of the things that happened this week maybe persuaded you to change
your mind at all. What's the final pick before
this all goes down? Yeah,
I'm definitely, I think I'm going on. I switch my
pick, man. I think I'm going out.
I think I'm going out. I like
obviously the champ. Champ is,
you know, he's got momentum right now. He's doing his thing.
He's a bigger fighter.
He's a monitor fighter. Hopefully
he used that with advantage.
Henry, you know, it is,
it's been three years,
you know, like, for Henry.
And I'm a big fan of, like, you know,
man, I said,
I said a couple years off and I came back and I felt fine, but three years is a lot longer, you know.
And obviously, he got like John Jones that did it, George St. Beer, he did it, but they're not coming back and fighting, you know, a young hungry champ, like, as I mean it, you know, like, I believe when George St. Pierre came back, he fought Bispin.
And then obviously, see, he or gone, he's a killer, but he wasn't like, he wasn't like the champ.
he wasn't that kind of die.
And he's coming back and he's playing a legit threat.
So it's probably hard for him.
I love the style that he breaks.
I love all of everything he's done as far as his whole career.
But I just think it's time running out.
Yeah, he will, fighters, I don't know if you've heard this crazy statistic.
Fighters, 36 and over from welterweight to flyweight in the men's divisions,
two in 28 in title fights, 36 and older.
And those two wins were both by Tyron Woodley.
So lightweight and below, no one 36 and over has won a title fight.
Yeah, man.
And that honestly sounds like a fake statistic.
Yeah, now I'm going to move for the old guys now.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
I mean, the craziest part is Algeman is not too far behind him.
Like, he's, what, 33, 34?
It's 33, same age as Henry,
was when he beat Dominic Cruz and
retired.
Yeah.
Who you guys picking?
Man, it's just like, all right, so I
doubted John Jones going in
to the Serogon thing. I was like, three years
off, how's he going to look at heavyweight?
Zero gone might be a tough matcher for him.
I was so wrong.
Like, it obviously wasn't even funny.
At the end of the day, though,
I think I'm going to back Aljo.
I just think the size is going to be his biggest
weapon, and he's going to be able to use that
to his event.
manage and get it done.
Yeah. It's crazy because like, like, I don't necessarily see him taking him down.
I see like getting into the clinch, getting to like his bag and kind of like jumping on his
back or something like that and kind of widen up.
Right, bro, because like Sehudo is so tough to take down, but like Al Jamein doesn't have to
go like the conventional takedown route to be able to get your back.
So it's, it's going to be fascinating, man.
Plus I want to see what Sehudo looks like, man.
33 to 36 is a massive jump and like not being in the octagon.
for those three years, doing the YouTube,
doing the family stuff?
Like, you just have no idea
what he's going to look like.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm excited,
but there's a lot of questions about this fight.
I can't wait to...
I'll pick her right.
I mean, I can't wait to find out the answer, man.
Well, we don't have answers to the fight,
but we do have answers for the tail of the tape.
Final time tonight.
Let's go to the tail of the tape.
Herb Dean is the referee for the main event.
That's...
One of Frank's favorites,
the goat.
The goat referee.
There it is.
22 and 3 for Sterling, 16 and 2 for Sohudo.
Sehudo, three years older at 36.
Sterling, three inches taller,
seven-inch reach advantage.
Both guys made championship weight.
Sterling actually came in a pound under.
It just looks ginormous right now.
They're so small.
I can't wait to see this final face-off.
Sterling is going to look two-weight classes big.
bigger. It really is crazy the way that Aljo looks in that, man. He's just shredded to the gills.
And he's what can have? He's going to have three inches of height, four inches of reach.
Seven inches of reach, I think, actually.
I still don't know if Sterling is going to be the stronger guy. You know what I mean?
Like, I think Sterling's going to be the bigger guy. He's going to look like the stronger guy.
But in these, like, wrestling exchanges against the fence, because I feel like there's going to be a lot of clinching here.
What do you think, Rob? Do you think, Henry? I, I think, I, I think, I think, I think, I
I feel like Henry is going to, it would not surprise me if Henry won a lot of those battles
because he's a strong dude.
You've got to be to be an Olympic medalist.
I'm definitely leading towards Henry as far as the tradition.
Like you said, the traditional kind of wrestling.
If it's like 50-50 on the fence, I think Henry's going to have a vanish.
I think where Algeman is going to shine, it's going to be like catching a kick or something
like that and kind of getting into the clinch from there.
You know, say Henry does shoot on him and kind of like stopping it, snapping him down.
and get into like exchanges been there.
But if it's straight-out wrestling,
I don't think it's going to, like, favor Al Jermaine.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's hard, too, going against the guy like Henry Sehudo.
Obviously, Sehudo's got a great gym.
Like, how much, something that I wondered this week leading up to it is how much has it helped Al Jermaine
having Marab as a training partner through this camp?
Like, having one of the best bantam weights in the world to also train with.
Yeah.
it definitely helps. It definitely helps.
Especially your guy like Mara, but it seems like you can push a crazy pace as far as like the wrestling.
And obviously it seems like that dude doesn't get tired.
So like that kind of like consistently shooting on you.
No, I don't necessarily think Henry's going to shoot like that.
But like to have a training partner like that, same size, same build.
It's only going to help.
Yeah.
It's been, it's, you know, because Captain Eric was on the MAA.
I talked to Captain Eric as well.
And, you know, we talk about the wrestling exchanges
and how a lot of people feel like they're going to cancel,
sort of cancel each other out
and that a lot of this fight will play on the feet.
Captain Eric is just laughing at everybody.
Like, are you crazy?
Like, Henry's going to take him down
and just, like, do it over and over again at will.
Like, there's going to be no hesitation.
He's going to take this man to the ground.
Like, he's an Olympic gold medalist wrestler.
Sterling's credentials are nowhere near Henry.
He's like,
Why does everybody feel, though?
I'm curious if this is just gamesmanship.
I do.
I can't believe Suhudo's back.
I can't believe we're really watching this right now.
And Sterling looks gigantic.
Here we go, man.
Here we go.
All right, here we go.
Sterling moving in.
This is, uh, oh, they trade leg kicks.
Sterling gets in their feet.
Sterling just looks so big.
What do you think is Suhudo's like, uh, movement on the feet, Rob?
When you watch him strike.
He kind of has that, and he stands tall, has that karate kind of slash Taekwondo style.
It helps, you know, especially being the short of fighter, just fighting along, helps out.
You know, like, I remember fighting a guy when I was in the local scene.
He was like 6-2, and we try to mimic the top of his possible.
I think that's what he's doing.
Yeah.
When you talk about fight IQ, like Sehudo's at the top of the list, man.
He knows what he's doing in there.
And I got to assume, you know, like being an Olympian and being around that Olympic training center, he's trained with a bunch of Tapewondo guys.
For sure.
He's probably bringing a bunch of them in.
And, I mean, his fight IQ, his fight mind is probably sharper than it was when he was fighting with all the coaching he's been doing.
Oh, oh.
Oh, wow.
So hootle with the takedown.
Wow.
That looks pretty easy, too.
Yeah, man, like really easy.
Wrapped him up and chucked him.
now I'm curious to see what Tehudo does from here
here. Here we go.
This is a big moment here.
Man, I mean, weird to see Al Jamein being the one getting controlled after his last few fights.
Butterflies.
Let's see if Sterling get back to his feet.
He's playing the game too.
He's got the overhook.
Yeah.
He's going to look for like a triangle.
But he's got to use that to pop back up.
He doesn't have much there.
There it is.
Oh.
Oh, no.
No, I thought he was going to try to shoot a gilly, but yeah.
That would have been crazy this early to him.
But he's working that neck.
That's a great point by Joe Rogan.
Oh, yeah, Joe Rogan talking about the artificial disc in his neck.
Yep.
Just making him work.
This is interesting.
Yeah, man.
So they're going to help out Henry, let him carry his weight like this.
Oh, for sure.
Work on the gas tank a little bit.
But it's crazy.
Yeah, but like, we're like, where, like,
Al Jermaine, he stays that he's always in these type of positions.
Yeah.
And he's back up.
All right.
Here you go.
Henry's starting to throw a little more on the feet.
He did to do it.
Oh, they're throwing a little bit.
I like this.
Oh, body kick caught.
Oh, wow, man.
He threw a fastball.
Came up short.
Oh, nice body kick from Aljo.
Oh, goes to the elbow, yeah.
That was a Calvin Cater strike right there, Rob.
Right back up against the fence, man.
He's going to try to dump him again.
This is where Aljo can't get lazy.
Nah, man.
This is, and there we go.
So, Sohudo, using that weight.
Oh, good job by Aljo, reverse the position.
Oh, shit.
He was going to drop for a shot.
Nice sprawl from Henry.
Uh-oh.
Yeah, I, it's back in that same position.
Uh-oh.
Oh, sketchy.
Wow.
Nice job by Sterling, back to his feet.
Donald Rosen.
I saw his scrambles.
Yes, man.
That was dicey stuff for a second there.
And now Sterling's got him against him.
He's looking for a single leg.
Yeah, this could be a big moment for Aljo if he can find some success.
If he can get a takedown on Henry in the first round, that's going to be huge.
Even if he doesn't do much with it.
He's going to throw that John Jones spinning back elbow watch.
Oh, dude.
If that happens.
Oh, we got him.
We got them.
Seudo's on one way.
Oh, he's going for the back.
This is, yeah, this is a big moment right here.
This is huge for Aljo.
I like these knees.
Yeah, I like these knees.
Oh, that's a big knee to the body.
Let's see if he could get the hooks in and really take the back here.
It's a great position for Sterling.
Yeah, this is nice, especially if you can keep it like this.
Wow.
Oh, man.
He's on the back.
Now he's got the back.
Oh, he's trying to get the hooks in.
Oh, boy.
Oh, my God.
He's trying to get him in.
Oh, he couldn't get the body triangle.
Look, dude.
Look at the Hutto, grabbing the foot, man.
He is not letting it happen.
But he's so good.
Oh, man.
Nah, she's not going to have enough time.
Short punches.
Still, great way to end the round for Aljo, man.
Oh, yeah.
Like that.
Stay active with the knees.
Oh, nice elbow.
That was a nasty elbow.
Man.
Good rounds.
Excellent start.
From the way that he ended it.
Did I take your pen?
You sure did.
I did.
Right back to you, man.
You sure did.
All right, Rob.
So we also score the fight as we go along.
I'm going with the end of that round.
I'm going to go 10-9 Aljo.
I agree with that.
10-9 on that.
I'm agreeing with that.
9 Sterling.
Yeah.
Yeah, it felt like Felix Othoodle might get it like halfway through.
That ending gave it to Aljo for me.
Man, a little back and forth.
Success from both guys.
I like that.
But can Aljo, here's the thing.
Al Jamea won that round, but Suhudo did a good job.
Suhudo did a good job putting pressure on the neck, making them work a little bit.
We've seen Sterling fade late in these fights.
So can he keep this up?
Can he keep this pace going for 20 more minutes?
I think he's been going.
He just can't do this.
like take those swappy shots,
those shots that are from a mile away.
You know,
you got to get close to him
and you use that size on him, you know.
But if you start shooting from a mile away,
he's going to get tired.
100%, man.
I like, 100%, dude.
I like that cage work
and then progressing to a take down.
Here we go.
Round two.
I like that.
Oh, man.
He's got Henry backing up, man.
Sterling and...
Oh, nice body.
Yeah, nice body kick from Henry.
Sterling in an uncharted territory where he is the out-and-out baby face in a fight.
Yeah.
I mean, I talked about this in the previous show.
We're in Jacksonville, Florida when he was fighting Piotr-Yon.
And he got booed to the move.
Got booed out of the building.
Piotr Yon getting cheered like he's a hero.
It was crazy.
Yeah.
Russian and American, he's getting cheered.
Nice thing.
He's in a tough spot, man.
even like he wins this one.
Nobody's really going to give him that much respect.
It's going to be like, you know.
Segoo was off a three-year layoff.
He is, you know, so it's a tough spot, man.
Yeah.
As long as he keeps winning, man.
His name will be remembered fondly.
It's important for a clean win, like a clean win.
Like if Aljo, like, lands a leg kick right now and Sehudo, like,
snaps his ankle.
I don't want to see that.
But then he's like, oh, hell, another freak win.
Aljo, going for those stepping elbows, man.
I love that.
I like those.
Suhudo throwing a lot of high kicks in this round.
Ooh.
Oh, nice.
Knee from Beljo.
So we don't throw a lot of kicks in this round, a lot of them.
Popping, too, right now.
Yeah.
Sterling striking looks way better.
He looks comfortable.
Oh, a little question mark kick there?
I think Suu dodged that.
I like that leg kick.
Yeah, he did dodge it, but those are always just impressive for them to throw.
It's basically like a taekwondo competition with wrestling.
You know, these guys kick.
They don't even throw punches, man.
They just kick.
Yeah, right.
Both guys took shots that were not very good and didn't work.
And this is kind of the fight people expected to see.
Yeah.
He's too striking.
They do look much more athletic when they're kicking than compared to when they're punching.
That's very true.
So Hudo just froze.
98-mile-an-hour fastballs when he throw us punches.
I like that sneaky little leg kick.
There it is.
A little parlay caches with the over one and a half.
I'll take that.
Emmys kicks are heavier.
Yo, for sure, for sure.
215 left here.
It's a close round, man.
He's picking it up.
Yep.
He's picking it up now.
He's got his range.
He's trying to figure him out.
The light kicks.
Yeah, the leg kicks are smart.
Sterling is that little,
that little left hook that Sterling has thrown.
is landing almost every time he threw it.
The right is not getting through it all.
I think he's playing the reach really well right now.
I think Sehudo is struggling with the reach.
I mean, he's thrown that huge hook, and he's missed every time.
Yep.
This is where Sehudo wants to be.
Get Sterling's back against the fence for these strikes.
Nice leg kick from Aljo.
I think, yeah, I think Al Jolla got to get back to pressure.
Yeah, for me.
Yeah, for sure.
I'm with you.
It's slow.
Oh, those for a little spinning backwards.
Rob called it.
Rob did call that.
He said it was coming.
That might have just woke up Suhudo, though.
He might do it again.
Unbelievable call right there.
I was just said something to him.
He's talking to him.
Yeah, I like that.
I like that.
Oh, God, that one barely missed.
Dan, that kick, too.
So who don't look at good up to three-year layoff?
Yeah.
Knock a little rust off there.
Another close, close round, man.
I could see the judges.
Is that a Henry chant that I'm hearing?
That can't.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
That's the second one I've heard, actually.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
When he got the first takedown, they started chanting Henry.
His fans travel, I guess.
Yeah.
Like that body kick by Aljo.
Oh, here we go.
Oh, there's some tying up.
All right, we separate.
Unofficial stats, Sterling landing more strikes.
Oh, nice right hand.
10 seconds to go.
Fun, this is a fun fight.
I like that jab to the belly for Aljo.
Oh, nice.
Oh, no.
A little scrammy at the end?
Good round.
I think it's 19s.
Oh, man.
I think Henry won that round.
I'm going to go 10-9 Aljo again.
Ooh, okay.
Not confidently, though.
I'm not saying confidently.
I feel like Henry got enough there.
I think his shots mattered more.
You could do about, what,
four different combinations of scorecards right now?
I wouldn't be surprised if you had any of them.
How do you score it, Rob?
I'm going to go out to, Rob, but I can see how, like,
it's definitely a better for Henry,
I mean, a better round for Henry.
Definitely sort of middle of that round.
But I'm going to say I'll just sweep this one out too.
All right.
Close rounds, though, man.
close rounds. I hope it doesn't stay this way
for all 25 minutes when we go to the scorecards.
Right now, update live odds.
Aljo minus 175, Henry plus
140.
So I think people probably gave round two
to Henry, or at least that's with the...
I wouldn't be surprised, man.
It's a close fight. It's a very close fight.
Let's get the tweeties up there. Let's get the tweets
up there and see... Oh, yeah, the media scorecards.
Aljo looks fresh.
Yeah, Aljo still looks good, man.
15 rounds to go.
I don't know if it's just Henry's hair,
but like it's like, it's like his hair
makes him look more tired because he's so sweaty.
Great head of hair on him, though.
No hating from me.
Great head of hair on him.
I mean, you ain't going to get anything for me.
Yeah, me neither, bro.
Everybody's here.
Great to me.
Oh, man, nice start to the round by Henry.
His stance is just like so odd.
Yeah, Dean Thomas was talking about it.
He said he's the same thing as,
Rob, clearly trying to, oh, man.
All right.
There we.
I don't know.
I can't tell it.
It looked like he was going for a knee.
I don't know if it landed, though.
He's got the neck, but it's back to just putting the weight on it.
And look, I think it was just a shot.
Yeah.
Yeah, they both just trading body punches.
Just go straight body shot.
Sterly doing the.
All right.
How did you say get up?
I dig it.
Oh, man.
Good right hand from Aljo.
Nice leg kick.
Ooh.
Oh, goes for something.
I'm kind of surprised Algeo
was throwing more leg kicks.
Man, hey, Henry put a stop to that.
Take down a time quick, man.
I like the, I like the
if Algebra would throw a little more punches
and making those elbows again.
Yes, bro.
I like that stepping elbow.
I like this cage work, too.
I think that's the only way
he's going to be able to get Henry down.
Henry's got the hand right across the mouth
trying to defend this takedown.
Oh, man.
And then Henry
muscles him against the fence
and now they're battling it out
such an interesting battle
It's so close to
Sterling reverses Henry
And Henry reverses Sterling
And round and round we go
This is playing the dance right now
Oh, Aljo gets me down
He's got a takedown
Oh he's trying to get the hooks in
Oh this will be huge
If Sterling can get that other hook in
Oh my God you're kidding me
be massive.
And with like three minutes to go in the round.
Holy moly.
Tough to sub-Sahudo, though.
Oh, wow, wow.
Great get up by Suhudo, man.
Is he grabbing the fence?
He should, because they ain't going to call.
Nice knee.
Nice knee.
Into the body, dude.
It's just good exchange right here.
Yeah, it's super fun.
I like this for Aljo.
Even if, like, it's definitely going to have to slow down him here a little bit.
He really had to work out of that position.
Yeah.
And it's different, too.
Like, Henry's always had, like, a pretty good gas tank.
But, again, like, if it gets there, man,
you want in the gym and you can do all these different training techniques,
but it's just not the same.
Yeah.
Being in there and getting, like, being in a fight.
I'm curious to see what Aljo's going to look like if we get to the championship rounds.
Yeah, this is going to be a taxing round on both guys.
Oh, man, another takedown for Aljo would be so huge.
All right.
Sterling, separate.
Sehudo gets separation.
Nice.
Yeah, I love, that's a Hudo fan.
is nice, that little juke, the little backch.
Oh, Sterling's shooting again.
Yeah, this is what he can't do.
He can't shoot back.
Yeah, this is nice.
I'm 100% with you.
When he's away from the cage,
like he just can't seem to have
any success going for this.
Oh, Suudo was trying to go to his back.
But Sterling's like, uh-uh.
You can peek out now.
Especially, like you say,
with the whole neck situation,
like kind of just be hanging down there.
Yes, dude.
It's a dangerous game to play.
And Suudo could catch his
breath a little bit while he's down there too.
Man, I mean,
Sterling was having some success this round, but this is not a good
visual for Sterling.
Oh, man.
Oh, come on.
Stand up, bro.
Dude, he went back to the knee to avoid getting knee, bro.
There it is.
Is that a slap he tried to throw?
Oh, man.
Nice.
Yeah, nice catch.
Ooh, that was.
He's chasing him down with kicks.
It's like a type of one-dove fight, man.
Oh, come on.
Yeah, man.
He's not having any success with those.
But I still think Sterling's winning this round.
God, this is so hard to score.
Yeah.
Oh, big takedown by Henry.
Wow.
The live odds are even at my own.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
I think this cemented the round for Henry, in my opinion.
He's got to do something big here, though.
I just think this last 90 seconds.
This has been all Henry.
This is close, man.
I'm going to go Henry here.
I'm going to get it to 2928 Aljo so far.
Oh, we're going to get to hear from Ray Longo here.
Yell, baby.
Great advice from Ray Longo.
See with him on that one.
I'm going to go Henry on that one.
All right.
Me and Robin lockstep, but we're all 29-28s.
Heading into the championship rounds, man.
Wow.
So Ray Longo's advice to Al Jameen's advice to Al Jameen's.
Sterling for those who aren't watching was just,
hey, I think he got enough takedowns, man.
You're beating the crap out of him on the feet.
Like, literally word for word is what he said.
So basically he's like, stop with the lazy shots
and just punch and kick him.
I agree with him 100%.
Man, those late shots are not worth it, you know?
No doubt.
What would you tell Henry right now, Rob, if you were in his corner?
Hey, I would tell him to keep that pressure.
Keep backing him up.
Keep the pressure, like, you know, like if he ends up,
Kind of in the headlock position,
kind of really started doing some damage there,
because Al Jermaine's been going to hang out there anyway.
Why not just making payout?
Round four underway.
Championship rounds.
Here we go, man.
Ten rounds, ten minutes to go.
It's a lot harder to kick backing up, too.
So, like, Henry can just push him back a little more,
like, you're going to force that sloppy shot out of Al Jemann.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd like to see, I'd like to see Sterling not shoot for any of those.
this round. And we've got a couple
scorecards all over the place from the media.
3027 Sterling, 2928, Sehudo.
Hey, a couple 3027s.
I don't know about that, man.
So hoodo's minus 125 on the live line.
I doubt it's 3027.
It could be.
Could be, obviously.
I like the pressure. I think Rob's, I like the
leg kicks from Henry.
Oh, yeah.
All trading them.
Oh, nice right.
Man, I started hand from Aljo.
Went for it.
He went for it.
Sterling with that little check back elbow.
There it is.
Nice right of hand from Suhudo.
Yeah, Henry does way better when he's going forward.
Yeah.
When Sterling's moving side to side, he's doing really well.
But when he gets a little fancy and goes backwards, that's...
Oh, that was nice.
That was nice.
Nice.
Nice leg kick from Henry.
I mean, honestly, like, if this exact matchup happened three years ago, I think it would look pretty much exactly like this.
Man, the...
You know what I mean?
The striking numbers are pretty jarring, favoring Sohudo.
I mean, favoring Sterling.
Oh, yeah.
He's one...
Man, wow.
Significantly.
Yeah, it's a lot.
Seventy-nine to 43 on significant strikes.
That's pretty crazy.
no one inflicting like a massive amount of damage either.
Sterling gets separation. Nice job. We're back on the feet.
Yeah, I think it favors an enemy to keep his striking.
Right now, I think the way he's pushing forward for sure.
Sterling's going to get back to him putting on the pressure or it could be tough.
There's a nice love, hand.
Ooh. Can't go for those men. You have not had success at all so far.
A light kick from Aljo. So who does kind of get that look in his eye,
like, I kind of get you figured out right now, man.
I like that jab by Aljo.
Yep.
And jab.
Ooh.
Oh, this is going to be tight.
Nice knee.
We're back to the fence.
Last time they were there.
Henry got the takedown.
Joe Rogan saying some significant swelling on the left leg of Henry Sehudo.
Yeah.
He's getting busy.
Yeah, man.
He's catching a lot of those kicks.
Eljo is.
It's like his stance is like almost like damn you to throw punches with him.
Yeah.
It's just so different.
You don't see, like the 12th fight of the night.
We haven't seen any.
Oh, man.
That was a nice right by Henry.
Just grazed him, though.
Sterling's defense has been great tonight.
He's getting hit, but not as much as had a nice elbow.
Yeah, I like that elbow.
I'm not going to lie, dude.
I do not envy the judges right now.
Yeah, that's going to be a tough one.
Yeah.
35 to 9 in the clinch strikes.
I feel bad, but Sterling,
because he's like, you know,
even if he becomes a close decision,
it's going to be,
it's never going to get enough,
he's never going to get any props
for anything he does.
Oh, of course.
Of course, man.
Of course.
He'd have to get that emphatic finish or something.
But see, here's the thing.
So Hudo could do this,
and that's cool.
But he ain't scoring any points doing this.
Oh, what a transition from Sterling there.
just turned.
So Hootos,
about to go full split here.
He's split.
Oh my God.
Look at the flexibility.
Oh,
Rob Van Damned.
That was brilliant by algebra, man.
That was beautiful stuff.
I can't do that.
Can't do it.
Oh, God, no.
I couldn't do that for like a tenth of a second.
I would tear something for sure.
There it is.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice finish to the round there, man.
That's a Sterling round to make it.
I'll go Sterling, too.
I'll go Sterling too.
A nice servant.
Yeah.
So I'm saying 3937 heading into the fifth.
Oh, man.
I'm excited to this one.
Yeah.
Final round, Rob.
Holy smokes.
Here we go, man.
That's a nine.
I have not been good with the nines all night.
I keep missing.
Yeah, we're going to get you like a workbook to work on the nines.
Yeah.
I need to get it.
It's terrible.
It starts like this.
Like, I do it quick.
Like this is what it always
Oh, that's miserable, yeah
I don't even know
You call that a 9th
Yeah, it's like I missed the pen
And then it starts terrible, bro
It's a question mark
Without the dot on the bottom
All right man, heading into the fifth
and final round
We've all got it 3937 Aljo
Live odds minus 230 Sterling
Sehudo plus 185
All right, Rob, if you're
If you're in Aljo's corner
What are you telling them right now?
Just keep doing what you're doing?
Yeah, definitely
chill out with the sloppy shot.
I'm not sloppy shot.
The middle
of the cage of shots,
keep pushing him against the fence.
I like him better,
closer with elbows, knees,
and I like the jab
to the belly he's thrown.
Like the jab to the belly
to get closer with the elbows.
I like that.
Let's see what happens, man.
Here we go.
I think pressure helps both of these guys.
Whoever's backing each other up
is definitely
getting the cleaning shots going.
Yeah. I wonder what...
I mean, look, Henry's corner is just super confident.
So there's a very real world where, like, Captain Durant's like, yeah, man.
You're up for nothing right now.
It's 40-32 right now.
And here's the thing.
I have Aljo up 3-1.
Henry doesn't look bad at all.
Like, he's looked good tonight.
No, no.
And we have Al-Jow up 3-1 in an incredibly close fight, man.
There's no telling what the judges are saying.
Yeah.
Like, this is a high-level fight.
Oh, yeah, no, it's been awesome.
Nice kick to the body from Aljo.
I'm blinded by the Spider-Man.
Oh, I like the Spiderman thing in the back.
It's nice.
Add a little color to the festivities.
So who don't move him forward a lot here?
Yeah, it's exactly what he needs to do.
He knows that he's got to implement the pressure.
He's ripping to the body.
I hope Alge doesn't think he has this, the shit,
because he's kind of backing up, wait too much.
Yeah, we need to see him do something at it.
Can't take the foot off the gas here.
Oh, spinning back here.
It makes it look so easy.
Nice fan.
John Anning.
John Annick just said exactly what Rob just said.
Yeah, John Annick said Sterling looks like he's throwing looks like he's sitting on the lead.
Yep.
Oh, nice, tough's hand.
I like that.
Aljo, sneaky, sneaky.
He's got to go forward, man.
Yeah.
We need to see some more stuff.
He's spinning back kick to the thigh from Al Jermaine Sterling.
We've seen it all from this man in this fight.
Oh, Henry.
Last hand.
Fudo is just so game, man.
Oh, he's got a single.
Oh.
Lying in a left hand.
Oh, good right from Henry.
And it looks like everything he touches it and kind of hurts him too.
Yeah, bro.
Henry's looking good in this fifth round.
He got Sterling's attention.
Oh, he's coming in.
He's throwing.
Nice little short jab from Aljo.
That was nice.
Oh, he went for that elbow again, man.
He's close.
He's got to get a little closer.
Bro, just a little bit closer, man.
Suhudo just looked up at the clock.
Two minutes to go, man.
I got this round to Hudo so far.
Yep.
Good left hand from Aljo.
Leg kick from Suhudo.
I don't even know what to call that.
A step in elbow to the chest.
I don't like this.
shot, man.
Not a good shot.
Couldn't get them up against the cage either.
Yeah, it just looks bad.
Minus 550.
I don't know about that.
Minus 550, bro.
I do not know about that.
Oh.
Wow.
Nice knees from Ceuto.
Aljo was kind of doing his best
to kind of give this on away right here.
Yeah, man.
Wow.
I mean, this would be the first round that Sehudo
struck him.
The numbers are kind of shocking to me
how much Aljo is up on the stretch.
He's, like, he is really outstriking him.
Not this round, though.
Yeah, not.
Sudo has really been.
He's got a security taked out.
They separate.
Final minutes to go.
Henry's got to go.
Yeah, Henry's got to go.
He's got to just kitchen sink him.
Oh, this takedown would be huge, whoa.
Oh, my gosh, he's got his back.
No way.
No, there's no way.
Nah, he looks like I was just about to get back.
Sterling's got those.
Sterling back up to his feet.
He's just so freaking
strong, man.
There's big moments for Sohudo, dude.
I think this is
the Henry Chan's going again.
Oh, miss with it.
There it is, Rob.
There it is. Just missed it.
Look at him, man.
Hockey fight now.
That's it.
Look at him, bro.
Show respect.
solid
all right man
I say Sohudo last round
48
last round
yep
I said 48 47 Aljo
but I don't know
I didn't like how you kind of
took it off the last round
yeah man
Aljo's admitting it too
like eh
dude I don't know what these
score cards are about to say
I would not be surprised
if we got a split decision here
could be it
what's the chat
what's the chat saying right now
Frank how are they score in this one
they're saying
4847 Henry
Okay
If that's if that's what the scoreboard was
But then someone else say 4847 Aljo
Oh okay
The chat is split
The chat is split
Should we put up a pole?
Can we put up a little pole?
I mean
Can you do 30 second pulls?
Yeah right
I mean
All right man
This is
Man it feels like in the Belal fight
They were just like
All right
It's over. Let's go ahead to the judge's score cards.
I feel like this one might take a second.
Yeah. Bruce Buffers making many laps around the cage.
I've been a ring announcer before.
It ain't easy.
You got to wait for those cards and these close ones.
Rob, man, you've been in close decision.
What's it like when you're waiting on the decision?
Man, it's the worst feeling, man.
Because you got it into the judge's hand.
It's multiple guys don't even train.
So it's horrible, man.
Obviously, you always want to, you know, like,
finish a fight, but
that's the one comes to this close, and I
feel bad for Aljo, because I think
he fucked himself with that one,
kind of like taking this, taking off the
fifth round. Yeah.
You know, so he's going into the, sitting right now
knowing what he did
in that fifth round, he can't be too confident.
Yeah, yeah. Hopefully, he knows something we
don't know, and he felt something we don't, you know,
we didn't see, but. Well,
you're about to find out, ladies and gentlemen.
I imagine your stomach's just
in knots right now.
Bruce Buffer.
Bruce does a great job of holding it to the last.
It's got to be the worst.
Here we go.
Oh, it's a slitty, Ceuto.
Oh, my guy.
Here we go.
Oh, boy.
And.
Oh, my gosh.
Here we go.
Wow, Algevin.
Algevin gets the, wow.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
Wow.
Holy smokes.
Algebra must feel 100 pounds lighter.
right now.
Holy cow.
Wow.
You see that sigh of relief he just gave?
Thank you.
Man.
This is going to be hotly debated.
I can feel it.
I don't...
Like, I'm not talking about, like, by media members or anything.
I'm saying, like, you go on Twitter.
People are going to be talking for sure.
Yeah.
Well, people just...
I'm with you, Rob, man.
Like, I do kind of just, like, feel bad for him.
Like, he's...
He had the split over Yon.
Obviously, the knee.
and then the split over Jan, Dillashaw shoulder injury,
and now a split over Suhudo.
You know, and then obviously you give him,
you probably give him Sean O'Malley,
and he probably takes him down and keeps him up.
And then, oh, he's a young dude that, you know,
like, that's just popular
and probably shouldn't have even been there with him.
So it's like, it's tough, man.
Like, he got to fight Maraub.
You know what I was the last time?
I think he goes, I think he goes O'Malley
and then tries to go up.
Yeah, yeah.
Get O'Malley in the cage.
Yeah.
Yeah, here he goes.
Get him in the cage.
What is that?
The Thriller jacket.
Get him in the cage.
Oh, saying the Olympic old medal of those
and copies shit in the octagon.
You ain't wrong.
It's true.
The numbers were pretty jarring, too.
What was the final statistics?
Damn, one 10 to 63 on significant strikes.
Four takedowns.
Four minutes of control time for Aljo.
Henry's got the gloves off.
Oh, shit.
Oh, here we go.
Wow.
This is a busy octagon, bro.
We're bringing in Sean O'Malley.
So who's going to retire?
Look at him.
Oh.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Will there be a shove?
Incredible.
These two would go after.
Aljo claiming he got a shot at the title and he turned it down.
I would love to repeat that whole exchange for you.
People weren't watching it right now, but we would probably get kicked off of YouTube.
Yo, can we, yeah, can we get a camera on Marab giving the jacket back to Sean?
Incredible.
Marab is a madman, dude.
Oh.
Oh, here we go.
Oh, now we got, okay.
All right, we got, we, it's popping, as the kids say.
And keep in mind, keep in mind right now, Henry Sohudo's on the other side with gloves in hand.
Oh, yeah, Sean did not like him putting on the jacket.
That was hilarious, though.
Yeah, that was a wild move by Mara.
Rob is the MVP of UFC 288.
and he just put a jacket on?
I'll just say September.
September?
See you there.
Call me in for a McGregor card?
Perhaps.
That'd be crazy.
Perhaps.
Maybe they can,
maybe they go to Boston.
Maybe it happens in Boston.
You have to think a title shot for O'Malley.
He's going to main event.
Why are they booing him, man?
He just never gets,
he can't even get the credit in his own hometown.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
He's in Jersey.
He's like an hour and a half away from home.
Tough, man.
I feel like, it's like, he's doing everything as far as winning the fights, but he just can't win with the crowd.
Yeah, dude.
It's tough, man.
It's the, it's the curse of that knee, man.
It'll haunt him for the rest of his career.
Like you said, it's basically his hometown, man.
Like, he came up in this area.
I believe he was fighting locally in New Jersey as well.
Yeah.
All right.
Now here we go.
I think we're about to get a Suhudo retirement.
Let's see.
Let's see.
Here we go.
He's speaking with Henry Sehudo.
He's tough.
than I thought, he says.
Henry giving him credit.
Coach said I won.
Two, four, and five.
Well, he's going to keep us hanging.
So let's see if we can,
I don't know, that's just an exchange.
I'm trying to see if I can dig up
the actual scorecards,
because I would love to see the scorecards.
Can't tell us.
Here it is.
All right.
Michael Bell was the judge
who scored it for Henry Sehudo.
two, three, and five for Henry Sehudo.
I think I scored three.
All difference cards, by the way.
Derek Cleary, 48, 47, Sterling,
rounds one, four, and five.
Sohudo says, hell no, to 125 flexes.
Says he's too big for that now.
But he's not retiring.
I don't know.
He says he's confused.
Let's see.
No decision.
This may be the last thing in the octagon, Henry said.
So Eric Colon, one, two, and four.
For Stirling.
So all three judges were on the same page for round one and round four.
I gave it one, two, four, Aljo, and three five, Sehudo.
Yeah, so one and four for Sterling, all three judges were on.
Round three Sehudo, all three judges were on.
Oh, man.
Cap Marek does not look happy.
Captain Eric's going to go in the M.A.R. and be like, it was 50-44 for Henry.
How about Ray Longo, bro? Look at Ray Longo, man.
Look at the face. It's just like nothing happened.
It's the man, bro. Ray looks like someone untied his shoes in the middle of the Octagon.
All right, so next up, I guess Aljo and Sugar Sean for the belt in September?
August or September?
Let's go to Boston.
Have a Bannonweight showcase, Rob.
A little Bannamweight showcase.
I was going to say, what are we going to do, Rob?
We're hopping on a Boston card?
That's the plan, man.
That's the plan, hopefully, man.
Oh, that would be incredible, bro.
Yeah, I heard the rumors that they're definitely coming.
So we'll see.
You'll see.
That definitely needs to happen.
Let's make it a pay-per-view.
Let's get Cater on there, too.
I mean...
I don't think Cal's going to fight this year.
Unfortunately.
Yep.
I forgot about his last fight.
Unfortunately.
But yeah.
I mean, just throw a bunch of Bannamwaites on there.
Sterling.
I mean, the division's deep enough.
We do Rob Fomt versus Piotr Yan.
Let's do that.
I'm down for that fight.
I'm down for that, man.
We do Marrb versus Umar.
I mean, anybody in the top 10 in Bannonweight is an absolute killer.
And I'm down for that.
The more Bannon fights, the better, bro.
Do you Sanhagan Marab on that card?
versus Cheeto Vera?
Let's just party.
Hunter Campbell, take the week off, man.
Mike Hex got you.
Yeah, well, we'll do all the matchmaking
on the program tomorrow, so.
So, Rob, if you had your druthers,
did we lose them?
I may have lost them.
Oh, he's here.
Oh, okay, we lost you.
Is Jan, from a realistic perspective
where you're at right now,
is Jan the guy?
Like, if the UFC called you and said, like,
from the, you know, sort of the
realistic contenders, is John
the number one choice?
Yeah, I would say, you know,
it's unfortunate that he's coming off a loss,
you know, obviously I'm coming off a win,
but it's kind of what happens when you fight
I'm a 12 guy, you know, like, you know,
I don't really move obviously forward at all.
And then it's kind of like the way to the VIN is set up,
it's like, it only makes sense to fight people on right now.
You know, it just sucks.
Like, I don't, I don't,
I go out there and beat him.
He's like, I'd be the fifth guy to beat him in the road, you know.
So he does suck.
He does have the name.
He obviously, he's a former champion.
That's cool.
But, you know, it just, it's a great opponent.
It just won't be that clean wing.
Like we were talking about Al Jermaine,
whereas, like, I go out and I do my thing,
and I beat him.
It's kind of like, oh, yeah, he's kind of on the way down.
You're catching him on a streak of bells, right?
Yeah, so it's, it sucks, you know.
But it's still a big name, big fight.
I still obviously I wouldn't even look no way in hell
I look past him or think he's kind of on his way out or whatever
like it just this sucks when you're fighting you know the top guys
you know like else come with come come with it you know
yeah bro and I mean he's still an incredibly respected name like you said
former champ like no matter how many losses like we're talking what
a couple years ago people were talking about him being pound for pound number one
I love that fight I am I think that would be an absolute bangor sign me up for that
I think about like Sterling and Sean main event,
putting me in the co-man event.
Like, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Let's get it in Boston, too.
Yeah, man, I'm excited for that.
I least go out.
Regardless, I know they're going to put on a show.
I'll be there regardless, but I definitely went on that car.
Yeah, I think, I mean, it's a freaking no-brainer.
Yeah, absolutely.
I think Joe might be coming out too, man.
If I'm not mistaken, Joe Loseon, might be having one more fights.
Oh, let's go.
That's what I'm here.
I'm here.
I like that, bro.
I like that a lot.
I'm on the main card.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we thought, I mean, the last time we fought in Boston was like, well, it might be my last
fight.
And then Dana White goes to the presser.
He goes, no, that's his last fight.
And then Joe's like, nah, I never said it was my last fight.
I got to get one more Boston fight in.
And how well did that Jonathan Pierce submission win?
Yeah, right.
Incredibly well.
Yeah, it's incredible.
He hasn't lost since.
Rob, man.
Thank you so much for joining us, brother.
Really appreciate it, dude.
This was a ton of fun.
Man, again, you guys, wherever.
want to do it again, let me know I'm here.
I appreciate you guys having me on.
It's just fun.
And, yeah, thanks again.
Of course, brother.
Best of luck in the future, man.
We'll be watching.
Absolutely, Rob.
Thank you so much.
There he is.
Rob Fons, the baddest dad in the Bannamweight Division.
Incredible.
Great dad, and still.
He gets it done.
It gets it done.
And now we figure out where Henry Sehudo goes from.
Yeah, I think he's got to go back to the drawing board,
figure some things out.
Talk to his wife.
Yeah, talk to his wife.
It feels like he's not adamant on retiring just yet,
but that could be the last time, man.
And if it is, incredible career, incredible career.
So let me ask you guys real quick before we get out here.
Sure.
Was that his last fight?
Do you feel like that last fight?
No, I think he's going to fight again.
Frank, what do you think?
Do you think that was it?
Certainly going to fight again.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm guessing you don't agree.
I don't know.
Like, the Volk, he said he basically only came back to get on this road to fight Alexander
Volkanowski. That fight doesn't, is never happening now. It's not happening. So unless Sohudo just
says, I'm going to bulk up Mac, and he goes all in on Max Holloway and convinces Max to fight him.
Yeah, what a weird matchup that would be. How tall Max is. That's a tough matchup.
What else does he have to prove? Nothing. There's literally nothing else. He's a double champ.
Yeah. It really just be to keep fighting and keep getting more money. But, uh, I don't know.
Well, man, what a night.
Good stuff.
Al-Mah Mohammad, remember the name.
He's going to get a title shot, Aljo and still.
And the Parlay Pal.
Janjao.
Pal!
Shut up the New York.
We're back.
We got an autographed Tisha Torres card.
I mean, look at that.
Like, can we talk about it?
I mean, that's big time.
I think there's a couple hundred.
There might be like a couple hundred bucks in there.
I think we can get some things for that.
I think we can get some things for that.
Yeah, Jan.
Knockout of the year, maybe?
Yeah, for the women.
I'm just kidding.
I mean, maybe for the women's actually, though.
The woman's actually an incredible knockout by her.
Cron Gracie.
Back.
Not great.
Mathravolta.
Matt Fravolta.
You all forgot about Matt Fravola with everything that happened.
Great card, man.
Another fantastic show put on by the UFC.
And the Jansichu, Bob Zare of Loya,
Diego Lopez, what a fight that was.
You know, I'm going to break the fourth wall, Mike?
I think these lights turn off automatically at 1.30 in the morning.
Oh, well, it's 127.
It's 127.
We're running out of time.
I know Joe's in the back sweating.
I mean, I kind of want to just see how close we can get to 130 before we sign off.
I mean, you still got some things you got to go through.
But, I mean, it's like that sign-fill episode where they drive the car and they want to drive it as far as they can before they run out of gas.
Oh, there it is!
Good night, everybody!
That's fake.
That's fake.
I was like, that's fake.
For a half second, y'all had me.
For a half second, y'all actually had me.
That was good.
That was good.
They faded too hard.
I've been in here when they turn off and they just shut off.
You fooled the hell out of me.
So, G-C.
My man.
Good stuff.
We'll see you on June 10th.
Yes.
Canada card.
Canada card.
New Mexican champ.
Irene Aldana, I'm down.
I'm getting the vibes.
I'm down.
I'm getting the vibes.
Shout out to everybody in the back.
Shout out to Jersey.
That's where I will lay my head tonight.
Garden State.
Great place.
Great state.
That's probably flying out.
You'll get some wala on the way home?
Some wala?
Yeah, I'll swing by Philly and get some.
Wow.
Well, you guys are the best.
Appreciate you watching the press conference.
You can watch live on our channel
that will post-fight show right after.
So for G.C., for Frank,
Rob Font, Jed Mishu,
everybody in the back, you guys are the best.
Thank you very much.
We'll see you next time, everybody.
Later.
You know what's better than the one big thing?
Two big things.
