You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story until now. People assume that I'm like this pervert. My name is Natalie Robamed, and in my new podcast, I talked to Allison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member. How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma at other people? I don't even know how to answer that question. Alison After Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify. You're listening to the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, we could not be more live. Welcome to the UFC 319 watch party here on MNayfighting.com. I am Mike Heck. That is Mr. No Gray area, Jed Mishu. And Jed, it is finally here. We've been waiting for this one since the fight was announced. All the trepidation. Sometimes there's doubts.

Sometimes you just want to see Hamzad get to fight week before the confidence starts to build. He is at 5. fight week. Those two guys built this one up and we are going to get Drickus Duplice versus Hamza freaking Shemaya for the middleweight title later on tonight. Excitement levels, I don't think there's a number high enough for me. I assume you're pretty in a pretty similar spot. Buddy, I've been pumped all week. This week was the first week I allowed myself to get excited to be like, Chameya's made it to fight week. There's always the chance that something going to happen. But I was like, I'm ready to get pumped. As it's going on,

I've just thought about the fight so much. Like I, this is not, I'm not excited about the rest of this card. I think the rest of the card is good. It's very good. But I am excited about this main event, all the permutations of what could happen in just a few hours, what will happen after, you know, one way or the other. This is, I talked about this earlier this week. I think either BTL or Prevue Charlton, which one, for the first time, and I honestly, honestly, God, can't remember. I had a dream about this fight.

Um, like I woke up in a, in my dream and I want it out here on the record right now in case I'm in case I am Miss Cleo and Clay. In case the spirits have channeled through me like the Oracle of Delphi. And in my dreams, I saw Hamzaa Chimae get a takedown. Drickus duplice full guard white belt hip bump sweep into mount beat the shit out of Hamzaa game over. I don't think that's going to happen frankly. but like I don't be insane I don't dream about fights anymore like it's just never happens and this one you know I'm obviously too close to it in general it's my guy probably the the biggest fighter for me currently in I think the most fun fight you know the most interesting high level fight that we've had all year one of the best ones you can make in a division like at like full stop Straight up, I think this is the most difficult challenge for Hamzaa Chamaa, both that he's ever faced. And I think it's the hardest fight for him at this weight class as well.

So just like every part about this rips, I cannot wait to get going. I know. And speaking of Hamzaa Chimai, if we're about to see his teammate, Bising North, Kayaf, Jimmy Suss, as we are going to call me fighting. Hell yeah. Forever and ever. Us pointing that is, that's a sick one. I don't know who did it, but well done. Yeah, Jimmy Suss.

spectacular. He's making his way about to walk into the octagon to face Eric Nolan. I got to tell you, Jed, and I was talking about this on the People's Pre-Fight show, ever since Tuesday night, they have handled this brilliantly. The matchmakers went out and they found, they could not have found a better opponent for this spot. They put Jimmy Suss in the featured prelim, fighting a guy with credentials. If you go to Tapology, you could see Eric Nolan, regional champion for a promotion that people know

that's on UFC Fight Pass, CFFC. It's CFFC, right? Yeah, but he's a Walterway champion. Walterway, not metalweight, you know? Yeah. Jimmy Suss is about to destroy this man. And it's like a guy that's going to go right after Jimmy Suss.

He's going to give it everything he has. He's going to be a trier, but he's going to get wrecked tonight. And this is exactly what they need to do. I mean, it is, it was so unexpected. ever we talked about this a lot this week and it's they clearly see

something with Jimmy Suss and they're they're doing the Hamzot thing he's he'll be the first I know that Dana White Contender Series is not technically the UFC that is really like kind of a false separation between the two

it is held in a UFC space by UFC people you know all the people that work at our UFC like it's a UFC event so he's to have two fights in four days, which is a record that will never really be approached. And like, again, I mentioned this. I work in Tinder series.

Jimmy Suss would have gotten the full Bejo Piper treatment. 100%. But for the fact that his name is by Sanger Serskayev and Dana White could not pronounce it. And so he just kind of made jokes about it, but was still clearly over the moon with this kid who, super good prospect, undefeated. Oh, it's Jason Herzog. Oh, boy. This could get, speaking of suss,

this could get real sussy. That is a little suss. All right, it's Jimmy time. We will let Casey know when the fight begins. Be in mere moments. Look at the new graphics, by the way. Casey just nailing it. I mean, just crushed it.

All right, Jason Herzog, getting them ready. And we're off. We have a high five or a low five, 455, 454, 453 here in round. number one. But yeah, they've just strapped the rockets to them where they were like, all right, we're going to give you prime position, big fight card, there's a storyline

behind you, good opponent. They put them on the podium. They put them up on the dais for the presser. Which is awesome too. Oh, big head kick. They are like, hey, let's see what we've got. See, Eric's a tryer. He's going to go in there. He's going to try.

And Susikai of is, you know, know he's a guy with who fights with some swagger in there yeah he's a young man too i've there's there's very few i mean obviously like every fighter that trains with another fighter is gonna say yeah this fighter is awesome but the way homes not putting him over hamzot obviously putting him over but even like just anyone i've talked to the trains at kill club is like dude susa guy a freaking is a monster yeah all the kilkoff guys put him over major hamzot at the presser when um nolan tried to say something. It's like this,

Nolan, like, with a pretty good little bar. Like, he trains with Hamza, he ain't Hamzaat. Yeah. And Hamzaa was just like, he's better than me, dude.

Like, he just was like, he is better than me, dude. Which, you know, probably a, not true, but still putting your guy over. That's how you do it.

See, Nolan's, no one, this is, this is good. Because no, oh boy, big collision. Nolan is tough.

Me? We're at 325, 24, 23, 22. three minutes, 20 seconds left here in round number one. So there's a kind of, you know, maybe having a little too much fun right now. Doing the 52 blocks just.

Yeah, I mean. It was fun and around, but he clearly does not have any concerns about what's what's coming here. Yeah. He's got a guy basically coming off the couch to fight him. Yeah, but like, I don't know, man, a lot of upsets. I mean, today, a lot of underdard. dogs both barking and looking strong, even if they didn't cash. I successfully avoided climbing with Chase Hooper.

Smart. Which is a shout out to Billy. Oh, nice elbow. That was nice. Billy Ward, the guest on No Betts Bar this week. Chase Hooper was his return to the climb. We are halfway through around one. Oh, good left hit.

Nolan's looking pretty decent here. All right. He's working. Jimmy Suss is going to have to stop Messer. Oh, there we go. quit you got to quit totally taking him unsurious yeah and start fighting so a little too

what is a yeah he's gonna be yeah the leg kicks you can see in his face he is he's yeah he's like all right joking around as well as well alright this guy's hit me a bunch let's let's get going now he's going down yep took him down this this fight might be over very soon

I'm gonna get that little grapevine action stuff the head no we're at We've got 152, 51, 150 for those sinking up here in row one. Jimmy Suss trying to sneak around to the back here. He's got it. Can he get some hooks in? Why would you belly down?

You shouldn't be bellying down. This is a bad plan. Yep. Up to your feet. Oh, Eric's back up. Where they want to be. Trying to break the hands. Oh, boy.

That's the thing you can't. Yeah, this is a, oh, he just ragdaws him head first into the feet. If you're going to hit that switch, you got a window there, but no. Yeah, he's just, he's just got a freaking mall around his back right now. Oh, he's about to go. Oh, boy. That was a big slam. Goes up.

Must come down. He's, he's marauding him right now. He's just letting him stand back up and he's going to keep chucking him down. Just going down again. The question is, can he do it forever? Because he was a short notice opponent or a guy on contender series. Oh. Much less stepping in here.

Oh, no way. He's, he's just messing around too much. He's, I mean, he's definitely, he's going to lose his round because he's just jerked him, like jerked around in there, you know, like he and Eric, no. Oh, right back to that, to that front kick that finished last way. Oh, no one hated that kick. He was not a big fan. 33 seconds left here in round number one.

Oh, he's got, does he have the hands locked? Oh, that was a nice knee. They, that was a nice knee to be locked. Nice knee to the body. knee. She tries to drag good wizard from Eric Nolan. Very nice.

And then just fires the right hand. No one's like, oh, that would hurt him. That was nasty. No one's a Marine though. Oh.

Oh, good right hand, Eric Nolan. Oh, he's stunned him. Nolan heard him. He's just, he's just fucking around

way too much in there. And Nolan, Nolan caught him one. You saw the legs and the way he sat down. Sheesh. He won the round for sure. I think so.

It got real close. I thought he was running it anyway. We definitely went there. It got real close. But yeah, that, that flurry at the end, I think gave a, Nolan the round.

I mean, you just can't, you can't fuck around forever. Like, you got a, you can fuck around for like moments at a time or whatever, but it's just,

you can't exclusively be like, ha ha, like, you got to actually hurt you. Jimmy might really be Joe Piper, L.O.L. that would be I don't think Eric

Jimmy was RDR but yeah Jimmy was for sure wobbled He got he got cracked there He ate a bunch of punches In that round You know I was thinking about this the other day

That if search Sky wins this fight He needs to You ever see the sign Phillip said with Jimmy And Jimmy just talks about himself In the third person all that Yes That's what you just need to do Just be that Jimmy guy

Jimmy is pretty sweet on you Every If every fighter just adopted some various... Round two is off. I think let's see. Yep, we are right on point, Casey. Nicely done. Boom, Casey.

What a profess. Yep. And let's see if, oh, back to the body. Oh, good, and he, though, from Nolan. Nolan's game. He's very, very game. He needs to get his jab going more. He's got a good one.

Yeah, those rips of the body are rarely starting to effect, Nolan. But he's just so... But he's dog tough, man. This thing, when he gets, his, oh, I would say it's the, the inside low kick has hurt him twice now in a row. I just don't know if he's like possuming it or if he's just really hurt. That did not look like a possum to me. I would also be really stupid to possum and then roll for a knee part that failed. This may be, oh, that's the worst idea you ever had.

Yeah, he's in so much trouble. Okay. Jimmy Suss all over him. I mean, riding in the full turtle now, full turtle position. I was just the back of the head, but it's herzog, so you ain't going to say anything. I mean, she, you should always headbut him. You should probably just headbutton. Yeah, you'll lose a boy.

If I'm Nolan, I'm headbutton. Why, why wouldn't you? You know, worst case scenario is. Jimmy says, working on an arm. Oh, no, he's, oh, this. Nolan's going to roll, give up the back. No hooks in. Yeah, there's one.

There's two. Oh, boy. Now he's a little high. He is. But he's going to consolidate here. He's got the seatbelt. Just punch. Just punch.

We're probably close to the end here. I would say that it is likely this is not. Oh, good little scramble. Oh, no. I was about to get a hammered. Yeah, I would say that this is probably, probably don't have much longer left in this one. But all over a big shot.

Oh, he's trying. He's got to see. Oh, he's down. I got to see where that's across. It looks like the chin's tucked, but you know, you can crank that still. I don't know if no one. the kind of guy that's going to tap.

Oh, he did. It's over. It was under the chance. That sure was. Jimmy Suss gets it done. Clowned around a little too much. And almost missed jumping on top of the cage. I mean, dude fought twice in 40.

That's a lot of fighting. It's a lot of fighting in a lot of hours. Back in my day, they used to fight twice in one night, Mike. I used to fight as many as three times in a night, Michael. But yeah, I mean, look, he's had as good as start to you, year, you know, as you can really hope for. Oh, yeah. That light kick was brutal.

That's the thing. Like you could see it really called. Oh, I love this angle. Oh. That's, that's a tree trunk. You know, we tried to do the. Oh, you could see. I say it looks like it maybe actually just pop something out.

That was a sick ass angle right there. It just a squeeze. Dude, super strong. Let's see 24. Uh, maybe. I'm not sure. Let me check that out. I know he's in his early mid-20s. Yeah, he's a young man.

Young man. Oh, man, I forgot I'm on the heavy-fighting one. So this is trash. Doesn't have any of my presets. By Singur is 24, turned 24 in January. Oh, yeah. So he's like about to be 25. He's got a long way to go.

A lot of time. Long way to get. Middleway John Silva. I saw somebody in the comments with that. There's, you know, A little bit of that going. Certainly with the showmanship, the showboating around, probably not taking things as seriously as he should.

But he's a young man. You know, you live and you learn. Tinsen, I'm doing great because in a few short hours, Drick is Dupluss City. We're going to hear Ann still. And Mike, we were talking about it off air. You have a take. I do have a take.

I do have a take. Share with us your take. So I've landed a different take. I have landed on that while I believe that the narrative around this fight will ultimately ring true, that Hamzat leads the dance, DDP starts getting success in the later rounds, the notion that Hamza is just going to die in there, I just, I'm not buying it. I'm more concerned about if Hamzat gets hurt in the fight. And what I mean by that is, does he break a toe?

Does he break a hand? Does he break a finger? Because when that happens, that's when he starts to get mentally hosed. Did that in the U-Spen fight. He gets a little hesitant, if you will, still finds ways to win because he is game. But what I ultimately think is going to happen is we are going to get, we're going to get the fight of the year tonight. We're going to get 25 minutes.

And what this fight is going to look like is we're going to get Hamzat Gilbert Burns, are one person walking down the street. And then over on this side, walking across the street the other way is Yuri Pyrashka versus Glover Tashara. And then those two are going to hug each other and magically they're going to morph into what this fight is going to look like.

And in the end... It would be a hell of a fight. In the end, what I'm putting out into the universe is we are going to end the night saying, this is the fight of the year. It is going to take something incredibly special to beat this. I'm also saying this will be one of the top 10 most memorable fights of all time.

What we're going to get is some good MMA, some power stuff, and then we're going to get the MMA we love so much with two super tired, hossy powerhouses, just with no gas left, and they're just bloody and battered, just trying to throw as hard as they can and land and just a war of attrition to that final horn sounds. And in the end, Jed, Drick's Duplice, will still,

still be the middleweight champion of the world, possibly a spitty, but is going to be as close, but way more fun than DDP Strickland won. I mean, it would be great if you're right. I've talked myself the exact opposite way. DEP's just going to smash up around.

I want to freely acknowledge. I am too close to this. I can't be objective. I try. All week, I tried. I didn't even write a pass this week. week because like I can't decide what is like actually logical in my head what I think is going to happen versus just like what my heart is saying I need to have happen because as this week

has gone on all I have been able to do is like I totally get it if Tremaya of tackles him gets the back chokes him out I won't be like astonished right it's very obviously a thing that can happen but I have just sort of dug in like a tick to the idea that I'm with you. I don't think Chimae rolls over in the later rounds like that because even in the Usman, the Burns fight, I guess those fights went long, he slowed down, but he didn't quit fighting, right?

Like he did not mockwani it, where he was like, oh, I went seven minutes, I'm not won, games over. I think the first round is going to be way more competitive than people think. I think Drickus is going to he'll get taken down some but I think he is going

at the end of the first round we'll go maybe Chimaev won it I'm not even saying Drichas can't have won it but Shemayev will be looking like Oh Matt Brown Maddie Brown Maddie Brown all right

MMA fighting's own co-podcast co-host A Fighter and the Writer and there's go of Burns Cheeto Fighting Amin's a hobby I mean, yeah. Yeah, pride stand in the building.

But yeah, I think Drickis, at the end of the first round, Hamzot's going to look over. And he so clearly thinks he's just going to smash this dude. And he's going to be like, holy shit, I didn't just smash him. And not only did it, like, that was hard. And then it's going to snowball from there. And Drickis is going to take over and have, like, a really unbelievable performance and get a lot of,

late finish because he will continue to put it on Hamzat and Hamzat will eventually break. I don't think it'll break like in the way I think people think, but I think I'm just like, yeah, DDP's going to win. He's going to win pretty big. And everyone's just going to have to be like, holy shit, that guy is because to me, it's like, as I've tried, again, trying to think about this as logically as I can. Hamzot has an A game and it's a great A game. is an unbelievable A game.

He's never really showed a B game. Like, the times that his A game hasn't worked, he's held on to win against Kamar Ustman and Gilbert Burns and, like, made it happen. Drickis is so smart. He is so good at making fighters fight left-handed at bringing specific tools to combat,

what fighters want to do. I think he's going to come in there, and he is going to have, like, a dedicated plan to prevent Chimaev from Chimayev from Tremai having him. And then he's like, does Hamzot have more ideas? Because he hasn't had him before.

And Drichus is nothing but ideas. Talking about Drichus, I was explaining him to friends this week because it's passed the mom test this week actually. Oh, 100%. People were interested. Like, I think them going on the barstool shows, Drickus got like, people were like,

hey, like, tell me about this Drickus Dupus E guy. And what I settled on explaining to him to kids, or to my friends was like, Drickus fights like little kids run. We're like he, he's too excited about stuff. And so it doesn't like look good, but it ends up like,

little kids are fast. They just like, there's a lot of arm movement and they're kind of, but they're still fast. And it's like, that's how he fights. Like he's, his brain is moving faster than his body.

Wow. And it's really fun. And they're like, I'm in. I want to see it. Like I, the barso stuff like is fine. Like you,

you are interested. introducing sort of a newer fan base, but like for anybody who's watched fighting for more than 18 months, like, you learn nothing new from any of those conversations. No, no, no, which is tough. But it's, it's, but here's, it's, it's for the people who don't know anything about fighting. Yeah. Having said that, the true heroes of this week are the fighters. Like the UFC, sure, they put them in like positions to be on some bar still shows and stuff like that. And that's great.

And there's going to be a few people who are going to illegally stream this pay-per-view today. just to see this guy say, try to kill a man in Octagon, because he said, if I have to kill a man in the Octagon, the rep doesn't pull me off, I'll kill him, and I'll be okay with it. But the way DDP and Hamzaa have built up this fight has been incredible. And they really haven't, like, they haven't said any mean shit about each other. They've dropped a cold line or two, but, like, just nothing really disrespectful,

nothing that's made a fighter cry or like we haven't had a Stricklander and Izzy sort of build up it's just like two egomaniacal badasses just thinking that they are tougher than the other one and that they are the best in this weight class and it has led to like two incredibly intense face-offs which to me normally I don't care about the face-offs especially the press conference one but that one it just was the ticking time bomb where it got me so excited for the ceremonial face off. And then Hamzaat just gets shot out of a can and just like shoves DDP. And then the DDP thing,

like he shoves DDP and DDP just stood there. They didn't even move them. And I'm like, oh shit. Now I'm like, what's going to happen when these two bowls collide? Like I don't, obviously my prediction is just like wishcasting. And this is what I hope happens

that this fight delivers what it can deliver. And then it's not over and 45 seconds because it'll be cool if Hamza or GDP wins in 45 seconds, but I would rather watch these guys fight for as long as possible. And I would like to laugh during this fight multiple times because of how fun it got. But truly, and there are people in here who say to themselves like, oh, these people don't know what they're talking about. They're journalists. They don't know anything about fighting. You don't either. You don't know what's going to happen in this fight. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. All this is an educated guess. This is a educated guess. This is a

Michael O'Eachick versus Gerald Beershardt? Like, we knew what was going to happen there. That's why this is fun. Like that's why this is going to. It's so good. There are very few outcomes that I would be just like completely flabbergasted by in the main event. If you're like, actually, Hamzot threw one punch, caught DDP, died.

I'd be like, that could happen. That would be surprising. Actually, Hamzat won a decision and be like, okay, he probably won the first three rounds and then that was it. Like, there's so few things that I would be shocked by if it happened here. And that's like what makes it fun. Like that is one of the reasons this main event is so special.

what would be the more surprising result based on the narrative? Is it DDP smoking Hamzot and finishing within the first two rounds? Or Hamzot dominating DDP for 25 minutes and then getting a 10-8 somewhere in the championship rounds? And I was like, I don't think either guy is going to, I don't think either guy is going to get a, even if DDP turns the corner and it does turn out to be like well Hamzat has eight minutes to finish when if he doesn't

DDP is just going to kill him the rest of the fight I don't even see DDP getting a 10-8 round in the latter rounds. I can see him winning rounds and gaining momentum but to me it would definitely be like Hamzat winning a 50-44 like that would be like a non-cut like a Marab pure

like if Hamzat Marabs that would be the most unexpected outcome. Yeah if Hamzad is the Marab to Peter Jan's drink his suplice tonight like that would be

shocking to be if he like goes out in 50, 40s him that I would be like holy shit that would also be like okay

so no one's ever beating him that would still like if he does because if he goes out and he taps him in the first I'll be like dude's hell of impressive

I'll pick him to beat any middle weight alive but I'll still have questions I'll still be like okay what happens if someone just makes him fight into the fourth

and fifth round does that go if he just like puts a hammer to DDP for 25. I'll be like, okay, well, no one's ever beating him. So that's good to know. That's just like that'll be the takeaway.

Is that the, see, so I know you're saying, I know rankings wise, because we're going to have an update, obviously. When you have a card like this, you have to do a rankings update. If I know if DDP goes out and wins tonight, he'll be convinced me. What if Hamzaa wins? What if Hansa goes?

He won't be number one. If Hamza just just runs over DDP today. He'll be up there. I'll have to figure it out. But like he will absolutely. be I'm certain I would I just off the top of my head top five somewhere in that um I don't think it would be number one um I have DDP a three right now so I'd probably put Hams out there the thing like yeah it that something like that feels four or five something like that um I mean that's actually

it's really tough because like does he jump above Marab does he jump above pants this thing is hard to put him above Marab because like his wins are good but limited in a lot of ways right like Usman's a middleweight. Usman has a middleweight or whatever. Gilbert Burns, Walterweight. Like this is, this and Robert Whitaker are amazing, but it's only two. So, yeah, we'll see. Joshua, I looked for the PFL post-by press conference early and couldn't find it.

Where can I see Mike speak with that for Don? How was BFL yesterday? I stopped while. After the presser, we had so much stuff happening in last night that was trying to deal with back end. I did not pay one bit of attention to PFL. I saw disappointed. Liz Comush was almost my climb this week, but I was like, I can't climb with a full.

You're in a bed sweating that one a little bit. I heard that, but I did choose you won, so it would have been at least good. In violent fashion. But I heard that it was okay, big upset in the main event, and I heard old dapper Dom is there. So how was the journey?

So to answer the question, like there is a PFL presser. The problem is, And look, PFL is great. The setup is great. In terms of like recording and like putting those out there, there is no mic to actually ask questions. So like you put your mic up on the podium. So if you see any, like if you see in the clips like it's the PFL mics and then you see the MMA fighting mic flag up there.

So it's either like you hold the mic and then like hold their voice travels to it or you put it up there. the problem is when you ask questions you can't hear them so my whole method was like all right i'm just going to record these and then like if there's anything interesting like i'll pull social clips and and do all that fun stuff uh i did see dapper don uh we spoke in person for like 15 minutes uh we didn't record it or anything like that uh i walked up he saw me we locked eyes you give my number and be like hey didn't just hit up jed he's he's ready he's ready for that consulting position i walked up we locked eyes he saw me.

We said hello, we shook hands. He talked about how he's felt about the season. He asked me how I felt about the season. I've told him how I felt. He's like, this has been our best. He's like,

this has been our best year in terms of like fights. I actually agree with that. I was like, I think you're actually right about that. I was like, look, and I think, and I've said this many times,

we just, you're not going to be the UFC right now. No one should expect you to be. We just want to know that you're like, you're trying something and you're like putting forth an effort to stand out and be somewhat different. And, you know, you're not just trying to compare yourself to the UFC all the time. And I think with those boxes that I needed to see, I think they've checked a lot of them off. They re-signed Dakota Dichiva for a multi-year deal, which is brilliant on their part. It was a must-do.

I'm told there will be- One of my big tactical bozo beating people up in this highlight package. I'm told there'll be other big announcements in regards to that coming soon. And yeah, I got his opinion on the ESPN, the UFC Paramount deal. And he said kind of what I would have expected him to say, that it's rising tides. It's proof positive that. I mean, for their functional business model, that's exactly right for him. So yeah.

Yeah. Shout out, Ryan. Thank you for becoming a channel member. Yes. And he's like, yo, he was like, look, I invested in this sport and made it a thing. And I try to tell people like MMA is like mainstream and it's bigger than you think it is. Because now you see the UFC signing a billion plus dollar year deal.

That's just all of us who are in the space and know how special the sport is saying, ha, ha, told you so, this sport is massive. We can be up there globally with some of these other sports. it's going to be interesting to see what they do because this is obviously a big year for them. Such a venture capital dude. God damn. This is such a big year for them.

Next year's even bigger. Every year is the biggest year. Well, it is more specifically next year because at the end of their contract. Their ESPN deal is up the end of 2026. So they need to do something big. And now the ESPN's going to be out of the MMA game. Could they just attach the wagons to PFL?

Could PFL be like, all right, we're going to push you guys to the moon? Or it's just like, we're just done with M.A. Go somewhere else. I don't know. So exciting. We'll see what happens. Yeah. But it was good kind.

You got to be at the scenic Bohangles Center in Charlotte. Is that? That's out. That's out. I had Bojangles chicken finger for the first time. Because obviously. Is your first time? Never had them.

I'm from Massachusetts. I mean, I guess that's fair. So look, their chicken's solid. You got to do the. breakfast breakfast is there breakfast jangles the boberry biscuit it's it'll knock your socks off man chat from the south you've been to the bohong lace let them know perfectly fine i would say above average fried chicken restaurant boberry biscuit the breakfast that that's where it's at yeah they had like a little food set up back there and i was like and i'm going through i'm like oh all right chicken skewer's

good and I'm like I don't know what that is. Am I going to eat it? I'm not going to eat crab cakes from North Carolina. It's not Baltimore. It's not Maryland. Yeah. You know? So we're going to probably avoid that and that open the last one. I'm like, oh, it makes sense that Bojangles chicken fingers would be here. And I was like, oh shit.

Kyle, the Cajun Filet biscuit, also a heater. There he is, Jed. There he is. Look at my big tactical bozo. I want to answer this question to, Cater versus Patricio Pitbull in Paris. Oh, that got an else? We confirmed it. Our own Giermei Cruz.

Wow. Confirmed it today. So just chuck at them. I mean, right in there. Oh, boy. Tom Zod's got the hunting camel on.

That's pretty tough for for Pitbull. What the end? They did the same thing to the patchy mix. They're not doing any fucking favors to this boy. They did Apache too. That is.

It gave him. That's a tough man. That is a tough one. I mean, that's fun. You see that's Paris? the patissio one's Paris yeah oh yeah that's it's damn it's good fight man that's to be real it's a banger but damn they are they're doing it out there so yep um thank you chat i am jacked i'm not but i'm working on it what else we got keep keep bringing up the questions um

but yeah well you didn't see lazy beds tweet earlier i mean i did well that so no i'm talking to the I'm talking to Jack Michoud. I mean, that's all you need to see. That came from a preview show bit. We were talking about it in the chat. Really? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. There was a preview, like we were talking about something in the preview show. And I think LazyBid was like, Jed, you're looking jacked. And I was like, well, I've lost a bunch of weight this year. And I go to the gym or shitload. I'm trying to get checked. I'm not jacked from I'm making an effort. And then that turned into a whole thing.

That picture was so funny. It was incredible work from LATTS. easy. It's funny because when the broadcast started I thought Anick completely shaved his face and then

maybe he just grew back a 5 o'clock shadow as the card went on. Yeah, I was like, okay, but yeah. Can I just say something that has been annoying? And I hate to bring this up every week, but

Daniel Cormier and Rogan too. Like, Rogan doesn't have to. He's Rogan, whatever. But Daniel Cormier truly needs to understand the scoring structure in MMA. Him throwing a fit on national television.

Yeah, that one was pretty... Because Corrine A. Silva got the decision is insane. Because in my eyes, that was the right scorecard. Like, 29, 28, Creena Silva was the right card. Yeah, I think you could have gone

28, 29, 28 either way. Sure. If you gave round two, if you gave round two the other way, like, I probably wouldn't like fully have agreed with you, but it was close enough for I could be like, okay. But Daniel Cormer, like, he, for a minute,

he went on a tangent these judges she got to take down until she wins the round that's just how it goes yeah and DC lost it and then Rogan lost it and Annick's trying to like

wrangle them in and it was just like come on man like every week you're talking about the judges and the scorecards and all the shit but golly man

you know so annoying it's all of the problems in the sport largely can be traced back to just like there's no need for him to do better

you know like he's never going to fire it, he's entrenched. And so it would be great if they weren't like, if they didn't just talk about scoring and not know it, or at least he could just be like, do the thing I do where it's like, I don't agree that scoring should be this way. It's stupid.

You know? So hold on. The it factor of May, you are calling that a robbery. How long have you been watching the sport for? That's a robbery? That was not remotely a robbery. That's not even.

I'm okay with you scoring it either way. If you're calling that a robbery, that is ranked 776,000th on the list. Like, that is clearly not a robbery. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Yeah, it's not a robbery. And made decisions, most people scored it for Creanei Silva. Most people on Twitter scored it for Creane A Silva. Was it really minus 1,400 live line at the bell?

That's insane. It shouldn't have been that big at the bell. Yeah, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't. But that's also just like, that is wild that they did that. Yeah, I don't give a shit with the live line is. If I had seen that, I would have a thousand percent thrown money. Yeah, whoever.

Dude, more often than not, more often than not like the live line favorite is, is true. But that's not like the first time that's ever happened. You know what I mean? Like, again, that's just the betting community. That's not like judges aren't, judges aren't submitting their cards to draft kings for live odds. Yeah. That's just the way it was. Like, I was pretty confident.

like when it was over i'm like crene i was like crene a one i gave her the second round crene clearly won the third round yeah it was very clearly round three were clear yeah two was swing round and a swing so yeah that silver did enough in the second like so i i had it the other way but that was also like i had an underdog bet on her so it's like because i took a lot that's not a robbery oh jesus christ not a robbery that was i absolutely wild though i had no idea the live line was that that's interesting like if that's a robbery What's Jared Gordon versus Patty Pimble? What's, uh, I mean, that's, that is closer to a robbery, certainly.

Yeah, that was. What's, um, what's another example? A crime. Yeah, what's, yeah. I'm trying to think, well, I used to have my go to. Martin Campin. No, it was Chase Beebe and who the fuck was it at like LFA some shit? Yeah.

It was RFA. I don't think it was. Yeah, there were some bad ones. Um, I mean, there have been some real ones. That's just not one to get up at arms about. Yeah. I had money on the dog. It would have been cool.

she won. But I also didn't won money on Jokar close. I'm not entirely sure he won that fight either. So I had a close one. I also thought he won, but again, I had money on it. So it's like,

I'm not the most reliable narrator here. I was just, that was just unfortunately like not that fun. It was like, it was kind of sad. I think Dracar was like, I don't want to kill him in there. Yeah,

but except for then he just like, I also think he just got, he's just old too where he started slowing down. It just, it became a sad old man. fight age appropriate matchmaking yeah i mean that's also what happened yeah i mean that also is what happens when you're in the toughest division in the sport by a lot um but yeah a lot of dogs because like so that uh i thought there's shared of value on hernandez i didn't end up betting him because i agreed i

didn't touch it but but i was like i just don't know that chase super should be this big a favorite i said on the preview show i don't know about it was like i mean i know he's on this great run since moving up the lightweight but if you look at it he beat some dudes you don't know Slava Clause who can't grapple and then Clay Cuea who he'd already beaten in a jujitsu tournament and then Jim Miller who's just Clay Gwita plus at this point

and I love Jim Miller legend should go into the hall of thing Yeah that was like a decent way yeah And so now it's like now he's fighting a guy who is a physical specimen in his athletic or at least close to his peak That's just a bridge that's different And so like as you just shouldn't have been that big a favorite but like i i i think tim elli has a lot of value as an underdog

here i am concerned that he has had a big layoff but in this fight he's older he's older and a big way off but kai the problem with kisaker is he is so wild when he punches that it will be really easy for tim to just be like here's a double leg the reason and i was talking to a k about this because a k suggested i'd climb with kai and i didn't because i was like i think there might be value with Tim. But then I looked into it and a fun fact, Mike, because I think of Tim Elliott as like a live dog historically. I heard this out of no, I'm inspired. He's one of eight fights where he was an underdog. That was the Tiggerwin, right? Correct. Every other fight, you know, like he performed well against Demetrius Johnson and loss. He's one in seven as an underdog. So it's like actually

he maybe exceeds expectations, but doesn't actually win. And so I stayed away. but like it's very viable I still think he's got kind of like in my head there's value even if maybe I don't believe it the taguer win was one of the it was probably the most attention that tim Elliott has ever gotten because he I remember he did an interview with us and I asked him about like the glove because that was like the infamous like him cheating in the fight like clearly grabbing the gloves and like all that stuff but I was like, I was like, is that fair? Did you cheat? Oh, yeah.

Because yeah, I cheated. Yeah. Because I absolutely cheated. Like absolutely did. They didn't call it. I was so, I was like, okay. Goes look, man, like I got my kids. Like, I got a family and I need this.

Of course he will. He'll do it in every single fight. He gets it. He'll get it. He'll headbutts up. If he needs a headbutt to like stay in a fight, he'll do it. Like he understands the game right now. Ellie grabbing the cage plus.

I'd take that. Oh, I'd for sure take that. Yeah, I'll take it. This is a really good question. So I don't actually, I don't think this was a bad stoppage from Herzog at all, the Chase Hooper one. I didn't either. I thought the stoppage was actually perfectly fine.

It, like, that was like part of the concern with me in this fight is that Chase Hooperate still doesn't really, he knows like some parts of fighting. He still doesn't know a lot of parts of fighting. He would have very easily survived that round, probably recuperated, and then just going back to fighting. And we'll never know what happened if he had just gone to his back. But instead he took like a really desperate bad shot forward and just put his head unguarded into the line of fire. And Hernandez didn't get tackled by this horrible shot and then clubbed him in the head.

Yeah. And it's just like that's that's a dude who's not a veteran. Like he doesn't know all the constituent parts of fighting. Yeah, he was done. And he was done. And he was done. He had the canvas real hard. The follow shot to his head was just like, yep, that fight should be stopped.

I thought Jesus does all you just fine there. Yeah. I got, I want to, as much as I want to give him shit, I'm not overhead Budgate. I'll never be overhead butt gate, frankly,

but yeah, I don't think that was Herzog. But he was, Herzog logging in the miles. He was refing PFL Charlotte last night. Oh, wow, that is a tough week for him. Yeah.

Vegas, Charlotte, back to Vegas, catch the red eye or whatever. Well, Chicago. Or Chicago, sorry. You right, you right. Yeah, but to, kind of go back to PFL.

The Charlotte crowd. Lively? I was telling Casey. The first prelim that started. They're like, ready, ready, fight. You hear, there's people there. All of a sudden, you hear, hey, grab his dick and twist it. Get me the dick twister.

Like literally three seconds into the first fight. Got to set that time. Everybody heard it. Everybody, like, laughed. And I was like, all right. Well, I guess. Got to set that time. I guess is what, this is what's going to be.

tonight, but it wasn't. They were so into it last night. Like I was actually like blown away by how much people were into the fights. They were very loud for good or for bad. The booze turned to cheers with literally any movement or anything happening. It was just there's no indifference at all. They just, they were super into it. They cheered a lot of stuff and they were hyped.

I was, I was very impressed. And I left there feeling if PFL's going to like what we say quote unquote do the thing, they need to go to Charlotte again and probably go multiple times a year because that is it's a place that wants them there. I think I've been to two events in Charlotte. One at the Bojangles and one at a different arena. I don't know what it was. And my recollection is that it's a lively crowd that they are, you know, they're into it.

And some of that I always feel, And like, I don't, this is pure speculation. I always wonder like if that would be a thing for PFL to do to go to underserved markets. Because the UFC, I mean, shit, the O'SC goes to Chicago once every eight years or whatever. But like they don't, they, you know, they never go to Charlotte, you know, they rarely go to, I know, they rarely go to like Fort Lauderdale or some shit. And like maybe that would be like, sizable. city centers with people that you could go and attract if you just kind of went to not like major

major metropolitan areas but like you know those second tier sort of few million people in the city you could that want to see fights because like i don't know what kind of a fight town charl is but every time the pfls come to atl and alana has a very good fight community around it in general but they've every show i've ever been to in alana they're very small arenas but they're always full they could probably do more in bigger spaces yeah and so that might be something for look don i know you are just straight up refusing to hire me and all you're doing is stealing every idea i give you here and that's okay if it makes y'all better i'm happy with it take this one do do more of that do the thing do the thing um yes the grab addictive interest i understand that's i gave viral thing um but that was literally like

20 years ago is forever ago yeah like it was literally like the Ready to fight, ready to fight. Like no one knew who the two fighters were. They barely even got introduced. And then they started fighting. And that was the first thing that was said. I was like, all right, it's going to be a weird one. And then I got to interview Flav or Flav last night.

That was definitely not on my bingo card. Pretty cool, pretty cool dude. Never interviewed him. I met him once at, oh, she was like a Ramshack class event in Atlanta. He was there. It was like the wildest thing. It was, it was an LFA. I'm like almost 100%.

since it was an LFA that I rolled into. It was actually an LFA where Jason Jackson won the LFA belt that was here, which is wildly funny. And it was like, flavor, Flav, there was a group of Flavor, Flav, crazy horse,

Charles Bennett, for those you know, yeah. And somebody else, I don't remember, I was like, that conversation has to be awesome. That's a roundtable podcast.

That just needs to happen. Put a BTL together for that one boy. because that would be something friggin special. Yeah, good dude in my like two second experience with him. Yeah, he was very cool.

Because he was in there and like we did the scrum with with Biazio after he won. And I was like, yeah, talk about flavor of flave and what he's meant to you and all this stuff and he started talking. And then like I hear like literally

three inches from me like thank you God's son. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. And he's like sitting like literally right behind me. And I just turn around and like look at him and he like put, his hand out to shake it.

And I was like, hey, can I just grab like 90 seconds with you after? And he's like, yeah, man, whatever you need. And I just like did a quick like two minute interview with him. And like it was it. Like, I was like how many times do I get to like interview flavor flame? Like, come on. It was just like a weird thing. The only thing you asked him was what time is it?

Like what time is it? I was like just talk. Oh, sorry. Oh, fight. Oh, five 554, 454, 453. Apologies. We got flyway to action. Tim Elliott already did a jumping spin.

Yes. It was nowhere close to landing, but he sure did it. 45, 44, 43. And now he's in full karate stance backing his butt up towards the sky. As you can see, as you can see, my pick is Asa Karakeo around one. My bet is under two and a half in this fight. I got it plus 100.

Yeah, I mean, not terrible. What do I have in this one? I have nothing in this one, I don't believe. because I passed on Kai Asakura climbing and I feel okay about that. Yeah. A lot of weird movement from Tim, which is expected. I didn't take Asakura knockout round two

even though I think Tim might be live because Tim's old and hasn't fought in a while. I just expect a huge speed advantage for Kai that hasn't really manifested itself to this first minute. He's just so rangy. He's just going to find his shot at some point. Yeah, it's a good body shot. That was nasty.

Really good. My entire concern is just that he gets too wild and Tim changes, takes him down. And then it's like, okay, well, Tim wins around. But thus far, Kai is not trying to play that game. He's staying at a good range right now. I mean, this is just, that's just smart fist fighting from him. Oh, God, he swings a hammer, dude. Oh.

Oh, he's caught. Oh, I thought he heard him. But then he was just being Tim. Yeah. He was just like, I think he did her. And then he just snapped right out of it. Damn. That boy just swung so hard.

Guy, Guy's looking for that big knockout. Our time sink is 307, 306, 305, 304. I think we'll probably stick with extra. That's our fault. Yeah. We're telling flavor of flavor of stories. We were, you know. What the hell is Tim Elliott doing?

Who knows? Tim. Tim doesn't even know. You know, he's just out there, vibe and having the time. It's hard to even, like, describe what's happening. I do like the Kai Sakura's rank despite being 0-1 in the UFC. And getting, like, thrashed in that one. Oh, good right here from Kai.

Pantoja, but, like, being number 15 based purely on, like, your rise and run is, it's a fun little thing. Oh, really nice shot from Kai. Oh, short little uppercut. He's landing a lot. He is stalking. Also, he is just leaning into that left hook to the body. I love that.

Especially because Tim keeps duck in. So, like, that's just, that's a good shot. Tim's just, he's just such a gamer, man. He's 38 years of age. He's a fistfighter. 100%. He's doing it for a long time. Oh, what a jab.

Old World Mick Mac. Casey's the one who doesn't wear sleeves. I almost always wear sleeves unless I'm shirtless, but I've been told I'm not. supposed to do these shows shirtless. Correct. We got to leave something to kind of entice the super chats. Yeah.

To get people to spend $300 to let us go tarps off. That might be the price for tarps off. I don't know. We haven't talked for the tarps off price. Oh. The body from us. And then a right hand after. Another one.

Oh. Yeah, I'll score is kind of just whooping that ass. I don't know how many more of these Tim was going to be able to, or any human being can take it. durable man, but he's, he's getting, he's getting hit an awful lot. And not another right hand. Honestly, I can't really remember Tim landing almost anything. He kind of just graze him with a, with a short little right hand there.

As we are. Michael Bass, I can do anything, but I like my job. At the one minute mark, officially. Nice little capoeira kick. Daniel Cormier getting to see Capoeira for the first time. Oh, head kick. And there's Tim getting the takedown. This was what I was concerned about, but he has a minute left, so it doesn't really matter.

He took a shin to the teeth before he got that takedown. He sure did eat one across the job. Tim's just going to be annoying. He's so good at this too. Just landing those little knees to the body, all inside control, just making you uncomfortable. 30 seconds. It's not going to be enough for him to steal this round, probably. There's no chance.

I mean, Dan O'Cormier probably thinks Tim has won this round. Oh, Daniel O'O'Cormier thinks it's a 10. Yeah. Oh, he got the crucifix. That's a point. That's a point deduction. But has done, oh, look at Tim doing veteran cheating bullshit. That's incredible.

He's got, he's trying. Tim, Tim just dug his chin into Kaiasakura's eye socket. Perfect cheating. Like, three, two, one, that's the round. Textbook. 10, 9, Kaiasakura.

Didn't even get called for it. I hope the commentary said something. I would assume they didn't. Absolutely. cheated his dick off right there. That was unreal. Always cheat. Like if you don't, if you never like rolled or like you might not have even seen it, but

it was a hundred percent I'm going to dig my chin into your eye socket, which is really shitty thing to do. But Tim's out here to win. We need to do a watch party like on the beach for all those people who want to see like the vacation vibes and no shoes, no shirt. I mean, look, I'll, I'm open. Honestly, a watch party on the beach, our own fight island would be in Rippers. Yeah, dude.

It's doing like Nassau Bahamas or something. Who wants to sponsor a show and send us out there? It would be incredible. I have no issue going tarps off. Love a tarps off. Yeah. You know? That was just a...

The way he just grabbed his foot after getting kicked in the ear is pretty fun. He's a very durable man. And Tim's getting the crowd fired up. There's the Nelks. I'll let you do the time. We're off, we're off, we're off, off, off. rough and I think we're gonna in 50 yeah we're pretty pretty synced up we're like a quarter of a second behind but we're we're pretty good they just started off so quick because they had the

camera on tim elliott and he's just bouncing around and he goes oh shit I'm supposed to fight now time to go um so you know I went on my annual golf trip a couple weeks ago um we tend to have a few um in the process and we're at pretty nice golf courses these are pretty high-end places they're not like oh it's not you know like uh tbc sawgrass or anything but like it's there's some pretty good in spots and every year without fail we get pretty big up there and uh this year there was a huge torrential downpour on one of the days and we played through it but uh our group uh four of us you were playing and we went to our first of us you were playing and we went to our off because we have just buckets of rain.

And so then we're playing the super nice course. Everybody else is, you know, inclement weather warning and we're just firing through tarps off. Then as the rain dies down and we're starting to play through. A couple of us put our shirts back on. Two other guys are just unbelievably smashed. And we come to the turn and one guy is now just, there's only one guy who's tarps off.

And at the turn, the marshal just like comes up. And as I came in, you got to put your shirt on. And he drunkenly slurs. Like, I didn't know I couldn't do that. And they're like, yeah, you have to wear a shirt. He's like, but it's wet.

He's like, I get it. You have to put it on. And so then he's drunkenly trying to put his shirt, like his wet shirt back on. He's like, I can't. And they're like, dude, you're going to get sent home. Like Patrick just put your goddamn shirt on, dude. It was unbelievable. As soon as the Marshall drove away, took the shirt right back off.

Oh, my God. He then passed out in the golf cart shortly after that. That's true. So it was a heck of a big right hand from Kaiuskoy. Tim's just standing there. He's just,

he likes getting hit. And he's swinging and missing a lot here. I, bear, I agree. I thought like, it was a shocking that he didn't say, thought this was America. Like it was, he literally looked this Marshall dead in the face.

Like, I didn't know I couldn't do that. Stan Marsh. It was just, He was just like, what do you mean? You didn't know you couldn't do that. It was like, but it rained. My shirt's wet. It's like, that's great.

All the other people have their wet shirts on. Oh, my God. That's too, buddy. And within two holes, he was passed out of sleep in the car. And then spent the rest of the round vomiting. It was quite a day. It seems like it. It really was a journey.

It was great for me. He was my opponent in our 2V2 scrambles. So it became a one and a half V1. My partner was also. Smoked. There was a point where it took him five minutes to tee off because he every time he was at a dress

five minutes is legitimately the time. Oh, Tim Elliott with the takedown. Here we go. And moves to the back. Oh. Oh, he tried to grab the feds. Also, yeah, I think. Oh, that's big for Kai right there.

That's huge. Yeah, it took him five minutes to tee off on his power three because every time he took the club away to start swinging, he would tilt and he put it back down like a tripod to keep himself standing. Oh, my God. And at the end of it, I was like, buddy, we just have to go.

And he's like, okay. I got you. And then we helped. Oh, really nice change levels from Kai. I'm not Kai from 10. Tim Elliott's on top. He's got work to do. Again, he's behind in this round in 90 seconds, a little less than 90 seconds.

Except on DC's card. Oh, well, that's certainly true. Yeah, he's up 20 to 14 now. Tim's starting to trying to do something. He's just being annoying. Throwing a couple levels to the body. Not really doing much. Kai's just holding on tight.

Oh, oh, he's trying to. Oh, he's scrambling up. Oh, Tim jumping the gillie. Don't be silly. Oh,

he's in mount. He's in mount. Hands aren't connected. You need to keep those hands from connecting. Oh, I mean, trouble. This could be,

I mean, that looks like it's hard to see the other side, but it sure looks like that hands in good place. Oh, is he trying to create space. He's trying to turn. He's trying to buck.

Oh, he's definitely in trouble. Yeah, he's in big trouble. You need to just be fighting that other hand, my guy. Keep him from connecting. Oh, he went out. He went out. Or did he tap? He must have tapped.

Tim Elliott with the sub. And we hit the under two and a half. What an effort from Tim Elliott in a fight. He was undeniably losing. Again, I told you. I thought he was live. Oh, money gun. We get to fire off the gun.

You get to. Do you want the double? The double gun? Might be a little jam. Yeah, I'll go with this one. Might be a little jam. Ooh, money God. And we're on the board, baby.

We're so back. Kazikor is probably not going to rank now that he's 0 and 2 in the O.C. What an effort from Tim from that was great. Because he was losing that fight, quickly got that transition. And then, I mean, just jumped on the gilly. Make Dustin Porier, who is there as an analyst. Oh, Dustin's probably loses mine right now. I'm sure tweets are coming.

Look at 38. Tim Elliott doing the thing. It was a really good transition. Again, Asakur getting up, immediately just jumps on it. This is where it's just like, bro, you got to keep that hand from connecting. Your whole life has to be about preventing that hand. You need to go to his hold his other hand. So is he just on his shoulder?

I'm trying to see this hands. Okay, now they're definitely locked. The hands get connected. There was a tap. There's a tap. Yeah, tough one. What a, I really. That was good for Tim, man.

That was sick. Really nice night for the underdogs. I'm glad I went under two and a half there. I'm very pumped. Really glad I didn't listen to Alexander K. Lee and, you know, climb with him. I have two plus 100 bets. Let's see if I can hit him both. The other plus 100 is the Jeff Deal point spread.

Nice. Basically all my bets are plus money bets. So looking at this, I mean, Joseph Morales was an underdog Deoni Barbosa wasn't but very competitive She's a fairly big underdog Jockar close two underdogs Three underdogs of four with Hamilton

I believe Lupi was the favorite Against Jessica Andrade's not believe I know Olegs Sajic was the favorite Jimmy Suss obviously the favorite Timbo Underdogs that's what four underdogs Cash today Could be a sign, Jed

Could be another sign here for Jared Kenanier Again, one of my buddies, one of my buddies hit me up like an hour before I came over here and was just like, hey, what are the locks tonight? I was like, I don't actually have any locks that I feel great about. I have, you know, like I have a climb bet. I'm not even in love with my climb bet, but like I got one. But I'm just on a lot of dogs tonight. And he's like, who? And it's like, every main card fight, just take the dog.

I think they are all some level of lives if you're just going to take a splash. He's like, okay. And so Timbo's a big start. he looks in incredible shape too the best shape he's ever been in 38 years young but tough stuff for Kaius Akura in the UFC very tough start for Kaius Akura

stopped in two straight but the good news is flyweight is fun as hell and there's some up-and-comers at 125 that you can check Kaius Kerr in there with and it'll be a damn good time so no I mean at some point I probably can't do it now but like

we need a battle of the Kyes Oh. You have to have a kai off. You could definitely do that now. I mean, oh, Kaya's curve versus Odey Osborne would be very fun. Oh, I would certainly be fun. That'd be very fun.

I need to know who the Supreme Kai is. You could just make that fight. Both guys are out of title contention. There's Dustin's treat. Don't be silly. Don't be a silly goose. Be a gilly goose. Michael Bass,

if you picked all favorites tonight is like already, you're pretty close to not. not being able to cash. I picked all plus fighters tonight. That's good then. Oh, if you picked all plus fighters, then that's,

yeah, you're winning. You're doing great four of what seven fights, $100 of cash. Yeah. And Tim was a big one. Tim was like plus 220 something. Tim by submission was plus 900.

That's pretty wild. That shouldn't have been. I didn't do my job well that I didn't find that because that's been the number. That should have been a splasharoo. Absolutely. Had I been better at my job, but I wasn't. So obviously, like, the way I do this whole thing is just silly and fun and silly gooseery.

You obviously have a program about this. Sure do. If someone, obviously with the narrative of what this fight is supposed to be, there's Jamal Hill. We'll talk about him in a second. Jamal Hill getting just booed out of the building. Normally I don't feel bad for Jamal Hill. I felt bad for a yesterday. I actually legitimately felt bad for it.

It was funny at the start. And then I was like, this is kind of sad. Like I immediately was like, all right, can we be done with the fan Q and anything? I, it was real weird. Can you just have like fans like the whole thing, but I was like, I don't. Can you just have fans like fill out a form like we're going to be there? Like when you come in, just fill out a piece of paper. And then like John Anna can just like pull a name out and answer like ask 10 questions to the people.

Like it's just some ridiculous shit. Thinks you would never say to Jamal Hill's face. But unfortunately like this is the audience the UFC is promoting towards. Oh yeah. They, like this is what they. want. That's what they want. They want the people who watch like the Nelks and all that. Like, that's

who they want as their fan base right now. And it's not a bad thing, but they also need to kind of understand like those people are not going to be watching the UFC in 2027. Like they're going to be done watching the sport. They're just going to be done with it. Yeah, that was super weird. It wasn't a big fan.

It was a pretty tough. It was like, like theoretically he should have been the second most popular on the stage fire on the stage. And he was just ground me booed i was like that's yeah born and raised in the area like and i from from the jump they were like

boo this man they just did were not into him super and i the only thing i can assume is um look you know he brought that on himself by saying things that he said but i don't know it was definitely tough scenes yeah uh what i was saying is

would a way to bet the main event if you are to believe what the narrative painted is going to happen. Should you sprinkle Shami if round one, Shemaiah for round two, DDP round three, DDP round four, DDP round five. So what I actually said or what we talked about,

I know it was Bard, I, and I didn't because I had to support my boy. I'm on DDP. I straight up, I really, really considered doing the climb with DDP this week, just as an F you to everybody.

Just like, here it is on my boy. I think that if you are, like really trying to play all the angles maybe go for a Chameh of round one or two bet and then live bet DDP after that. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah because I do believe

even me the most pro DDP guy here I'm going to assume Chamey of wins the first I just think he's going to get takedowns on the first round and so at the end of the first round unless something dramatic has happened he's going to have been a bigger favorite than the fights started at so uh okay chase hooper released a statement uh well not the best night at the office camp went well wake up was smooth felt great in the warm up but it didn't come together in the 15

minutes it mattered got complacent at the end of the round caught a heater no excuses back to real life tomorrow and back to work and the thing is like that's actually true because i thought it as it was happening i was like oh he just got lazy that right hand that hit him is 100% he was just being lazy at the end of the round and he got one and then he didn't do the right thing when he caught a heater. And like, that's why I was like, dude, he's still 25 and like, he's just not, he's not a, he's a professional fighter, but he's not a professional, if that makes sense. Yes. He's still got time to do it. So good for him. All right. We're about to get Jared Canada versus MVP. This is one of the weirdest fights I've ever seen, I think. A couple of things I want to say. Number one. You got a hot take here. Casey and I are literally in lockstep with this. Oh, Casey gave us his hot take yesterday. Michael Page is going to knock out Jared Canada around two.

Yeah. Casey and I both have said that, and Casey and I are both picking MVP to get a bonus. And I know this might be, you're probably hearing me say this and laughing, probably laughing to yourselves. But much like your vision of DDP overcoming and just killing Hamza. Let this fear speak to you. My vision for this fight is like MVP is going to catch Canada because he's old and he gets hit a lot and gets. gets hurt in a bunch of fights. And MVP is a sniper.

He's not Gregory Rodriguez, who's going to get tired and stop punching. He's just going to keep punching. So we're going with that. Also, I have just a straight bet MVP. But the most important thing, Jed, the first of my two fantasy players is about to compete. I do have MVP.

I mean, just maybe my best traffic here, because I get to use him in multiple divisions because he is a ranked welterweight. So I put him in my Walter weight spot, but yet he's the third middleweight on my roster. I have three middle weights on the roster. Yeah, that's fair.

So I can see it. But what I will say is and that I was considering the over one and a half for a climb this week. I ultimately didn't do it. It was big. It was a little too big. It was minus 750.

Though I have enough banked equity at this point that that would have been fine because all of my climb bets have been like minus 350 minus 400. So I could have done it and it would have been okay. But it was talked out of it because of essentially that position where it's like, Jared Kennedy has been getting hit a lot.

And MVP just might kill him. I still don't think that's going to happen. I'm also just, I kind of think that maybe Canineer just tackles him. And it's just like, hey, MVP, I'm a much bigger man than you and I'm going to take you down. But this is the fight outside of the main event,

which I don't know what will happen, because of a million things that could. I just don't, I can't even conceive of what this fight is about to be. It's so weird. I've never thought about it until it was booked. Just want to see what's going on here. And MVP's doing MVP things for his, dancing, really making a meal out of this walkout, having a good time. Yeah, this is, this is getting a little silly.

Let's like move this on a little bit, huh? But, and Chaz, Chaz Berkey brings up a great point, Mike. MVP's fighting for his mama. I'm not MVP, sorry. Jared Kennedy, you're fighting for his mama, trying to buy his mama a new house. You're going to bet against the man trying to buy his mama a new house?

Yes. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. I mean, if this is 28-year-old, Jared Kennedy, trying to fight for his, to buy his mom a house, I'm right. I'd be all over it.

41-year-old Jared Kenaner, who has clearly lost a step or two. I mean, he still can. Canninger fought for a belt. I'm sure he's making solid. You want to be a big. He don't want to buy Mama a condo. He don't want to buy Mama a duplex.

He's probably making six figures for this fight. Mama don't want no duplex. Sharing a wall with some musty-ass, loud-ass neighbor, paper-thin walls. You can hear him. Mama don't want that. Mama wants a house. Mama wants a not an above-ground and in-the-ground pool. Who won't above-ground, in-the-ground pool.

Grill station, backyard. You've got a win to get that, man. I didn't get it anyways. Also, you got to wait. You got to wait to get the big bonus checks. If I was a fighter right now, I would absolutely be like, I'm not fighting the rest of 2025. Dana told me that the bonuses are going up next year. Like, why would I possibly want to fight?

Like, if I was Charles Olivares team, I would have been like, you should not fight in Rio, both for your mental health. And you get a bonus every time you fight. You're like the most bonus fighter in history. You should fight in January. Yeah, but Chuck is. more money. Chuckie's probably making like real good money.

Every little bit helps. Yeah, but what do you think the bonuses are going to go up to? 60 grand. I think you go to 100. No. You think so? I think they're going to do it.

It's going to be a big splash. Because when you do the math, kicking the bonuses to $200 costs you to see like $2 million. They should. No, they should. They should. I think they're going to go to $100.

And they should do like the thing that we've been talking about forever. Like enough with just like three or four bonuses. Like pay. for finishes. That's all 100% 1-5 of the night and everybody who gets finished gets a bonus

that's how it should be but a thing. Pendi gin I do have a bottle of that you know it's I can't it's incredible

I drank it on with our friends at MK one of the smoothest things I've ever like it didn't it has like a little bit of a jalapeno flavor to it and it's like pretty low

ABV It's not like a super high alcohol content, incredibly smooth. It could just straight sip it and wouldn't have an issue with it. But solid little shooter. I'm not a margarita guy, but like a spicy marg would be pretty solid with it, I assume, if you're one of those people. So I did. I have no reason to hawk that.

They are not a sponsor of me. I was incredibly surprised because I'm not a big tequila guy. Jared Canaan Air. I mean, yes, he has. He's getting older, but he still looks, he looks depart. Look, I'm, that's what Jack Jed's trying to look like. We ain't there. We're a long way from there.

We've made progress this year. Very few. Very few are there. We've made progress this year, but we're trying to be the killer gorilla, you know. I'm trying to be when I turn 40 to strike fear into the hearts of men with my shredded physique. Shred my shoe, that's what you can call me. So, I'm checking. Chicken Jenkins, how you doing?

Man, this just really tastes like a cream sick. Is it good, though? Or is it like hard to drink? It was good for the first half of it. And now it's like, I probably, I mean, I need all of this caffeine, but I wish I had less of this flavor. So, when Cannon Air, when he, like, who did he wreck? Like, real bad. I mean, he killed Robocop at the end of that fight.

No, who was? I'm trying to remember. Now, you know what? I might get him confused at somebody else. Let me go pull up the list here. Kenair's fought in Chicago, right? Has he fought in Chicago? Let's find out.

Croatia Anchorage Bunch does not appear that he has fought in Chicago. That would be a no boss. Okay. So I was wrong about that. I'm thinking, you know, I was thinking of Curtis Blades. I don't know why like that was the. that is a Chicago man because that's when he

he fought over him in Chicago and just like absolute it was that Chicago card where he just obliterated him I believe that is correct all right MVP getting the announcement it's good to see

he made it to the cage in under 11 minutes he did he is so big for Walter weight not like Jacked he's just like there's a lot of him there's just physical mass to him like MVP

eight feet arms yeah and the thing about MVP is like he's a little older as well and he's kind of put that out there but the same token like he is not as battle tested like he has not taken punishment like any of these guys have no he could fight another 10 years if he wants to i mean never gets hit in his fights and also the first 10 years of his career he fought like nobody good so he's relatively fresh in that sense i know like fighters during fight week aren't the most like they're not always the most pleasant people Jared canter air

yeah Jared cadadere might be the grumpiest fight week fighter in history of the company yeah that tracks I mean again cutting weight while doing interviews just must suck oh yeah especially dude that was a tough media day to watch for damn sure one of these all these days I'm gonna do that

I've like considered that as a project of like no not yeah Casey sorry posit positive positive cut for a week and just do all the shows I'll let you know when to go 57, 56, 55, 54, 53, go. MVP, I mean, MVP, I assume is going to be much faster. MVP bouncing aggressively. Yeah, he looks like more aggressive today.

You know, he's bouncing as if he's going to be aggressive. We'll see if it holds out. He looks just, there's some frenetic bouncing. He just looks bigger than Canada. He looks a weight class above Canada. I did not expect it to look at this aesthetically crazy. A very big, crazy. A big body shot from MVP.

The other one. Just sticking to the body. I mean, because Canaan Air also has that really low stance that he rocks in anyway, so it just looks like MVP's two feet tall than him. Let's see some leg kicks from MVP. MVP joking around, pulling a Jimmy sucks in there. Doing the crossover. Oh, man.

Canaaner is just. Canaaner should just be kicking the shit out of his legs. Like, that's, when you're fighting MVP, just don't even punch. Be Greg Maddox right now. My entire thing was like, I'm never going to punch. I may occasionally throw some counterhooks on your jab as a trigger and everything else. I'm just going to kick the shit out of your legs as much as I can.

Good rip to the body from MVP. Nice jab. He just looks so big. So big. Oh, Jack came here with the tackle attempt. It's a big moment in this fight right here. But MAP is very tough to take down these days. He has certainly improved a lot in that respect.

It's got the underhooks. Uh, chicken Jenkins. Prelims were okay. There were definitely some heaters. I wouldn't call it like the most exciting stuff, but some good things happened. Some interesting things happened. Yeah.

Tim Elliott performance was pretty good. I mean, he was losing until he lost until he won. There were three straight finishes in the, once, uh, what, Lupian Androge is the first ESPN fight, right? I believe that's correct. I didn't see, I didn't see one.

That was fun. That was fun fight. Ooh, MVP just just, just hooked canonyer off him. I mean, just. shucked him off. That was a fun fight. I think we saw it. He's sticking his tongue out.

Yeah. Now his MVP's out there. He's showboating. He's got the hand up. Jerry Canaaner just putting the lead hand out, trying to track him down. MVP not punching at all. Just,

just showboating. Yeah. His like, oh, he dropped him with a big right hand. I think Kennedy or maybe was just on one leg because he seems to be okay, but he absolutely got sad on his butt right. there. Yeah, I sure did. That was like,

Penn DGN, not so I haven't bet a lot of take down props or six props, but a few. I've only recently had those come available at the books I'm at. And it's a blind spot for me because it is one of those things I want to start getting involved in more. I just haven't because

I never really had access to them until basically the end of last year, mostly this year, I haven't thought. them but there are a few that I think they are yapping at each other yeah there's like like they're both they're both yeah MEP keeps sticking his tongue out jac canineer tries tries a double leg I mean if he doesn't take him down here he is in deep deep shit and I don't think he's gonna take him down here he's trying for that trip just got just going for the outside

mvp's grappling his defensive grappling is so much better and came here isn't a wrestler you know yeah like this is one of the things always say you can't like It's really tough to become something you're not overnight or even for one fight camp. So I don't think it's a bad idea, but it is one that can backfire pretty quickly if you just get really tired. I mean, that's the only, this is the only chance he has of winning this fight. I mean, is he has to take MVP down and just like control him because he's not going to win this fight on the feet. This is not going to happen. This is not winning him in the round either because he got dropped.

but he is MEP's just kind of like laughing in his ear right now yep I'm just talking that shit yeah he's getting knee to the knee that looks like a ding ding knee

but MEP did not complain about it MPS 1 under hook oh no he didn't get him tried the big strong mann it and didn't quite get it oh he's trying again

nope MNP defense again I heard I believe Billy said I know that's fired he was going to find a Canada Air like over one and a half take down prop Yes he was looking at I thought about that and I was like

I don't know if he's gonna take him if you down twice Twice would not have been But I was like oh one would have been One yeah and again like I was really confident In the over 10 seconds total in this fight Until canadares is nowhere near Until you all were like I think MVP's gonna kill him And I was like well now I'm now I'm a little concerned

But we did make it to the end of the first round Easy, easy 10-9 for MVP, especially with the knockdown. Very easy 10-9. Southside, yes, I have seen Jose Young's amy fight because he sent it to me. Because I had no idea he did it until, I don't know, we'd been working together for like a year or something that he mentioned. I was like, and then he showed me. I was like, that's tough. Tough outcome.

But he did it. He did it. Good round for MVP. Canada just kind of looks lost in there. But he get the crystals. What I would really like them to do, and I don't know if it's just not legal, which it could.

Yeah. I mean, catches him pretty well, more a knockdown because of the one leg than like he was rocked. But called him well still. Right in the ear. Right, you know,

right on that spot, one leg. Canada gets up. I think they should bring crystals to the corner and just start like rubbing pistols on him. And it was just, be funny. It'd be terrific.

That's why I can never be a professional. I would have. We're getting ready here. And we're off. And we are off. All right. Oh, good little snap right hand there from my bodd's minus 810 for MVP. I mean, I don't disagree, but damn.

Canner's got to get folded. I'm feeling so good about the round two KL. He's like, he's talking a lot of noise right now. It depends on how aggressive he wants to get. If he does the Izzy thing where he just accepts that he's going to lose a bat like a decision. But if instead he's like, I got to buy him. Oh, I got to buy Mama that beach house. Mama wants that beach house, you know, and tries to come make it.

He cannot hit him at all. He's a million miles away. Missed a leg kick. Although you just can't be punching at his head. It's not going to work. Just punch his body. His body's easier to hit than the head. Just keep punching his body.

That's all you got to do. or swing and miss at the head, which is very hard to do. MVP is really showboating so much in there, which is just going to make cannoneer keep coming at him. I want to see a Superman punch from MVP because it's open. Oh, oh. No, stop dancing.

Stop dancing. I would still feel good if I had the over one and a half from my climate. Superman punch. I'm telling you it's there. I do have the over one and a half in a parlay. it's fine. Yeah, just give it, wait another minute, then knock them out. Yeah.

And I think. Oh, good rip to the body. I had a other legs that parley were Oleg Seychic on the under because there's no farmy chance that fight to go. Yeah, no chance. What was the third leg of that? It was something. Oh, it's the over one and a half in Murphy Pico, I believe.

Maybe not. That might be a little sweaty. Maybe not. Actually, no, no, it can't be because I. I would have put that up there. So it was something else in the undercar. Proches Neal? No, no, Produsts Neal, I bet the over two and a half.

Oh, and I love that, by the way. I feel bold. No, the, it was so I had to be something from the undercarers. I don't know what it was. I'll think about it. And in a couple of days. Was it like Criney deoni Barroza over one and a half? That seems like a bet you would do.

Or loopy and drage. It might have been loopy androge, actually. There's like no chance if I was getting finished. Might have been Lupy and Drodge. I can't remember. It was three overs as a sort of wonky pan. Kenner just ran over one and a half hits. All right, now we can do the knockout.

So I could have climbed. That would have been dope. Yep. Now you go for the K-O. You guys convinced me not to do it. And I'm not sad because the two knockdowns would have made that a little sweaty. And plus I want to have fun on the main event, you know?

Yeah. I liked it. I don't know. It was, it would have been a terrific climb bet. Yeah, it would have been good. It was just a little bit. That's, who is that? That's a rapper who's famous,

and I can't remember his name because I'm not up to date. I'm not a Coo kid anymore. Canada try for another takedown? MVP is defending terrifically well. Whatever the rapper is, is not even watching the fights. Oh, see, the one. We would have gotten one on the takedown. MVP, if he gets another one,

Billy Caches that bet, baby. Let's go. I swear Mike arms be looking swole every time, L-O-L. Let's go. Dude, I'll talk to Mike. Mike's out here. Mike's out here lifting heavy weights. I'm starting to lift heavier weights, but Mike's like, oh, yeah, I total a thousand, no problem.

That's, I mean, that's, a thousand, total no problem. It's just very fun to do that. Like, it just is. You know, one day I hope to total a thousand. I think it will be very fun. Yeah, just, just lifting anyways is like, Like everyone's like, oh, you know, if you want to, you know, lose weight and lose body fat, like, you have to just run eight miles. And like, sure, like that doesn't hurt.

But it's like, Zava just lifting heavy. I used to just hate lifting. This year is the first year I've really like, like, I started liking it. Yeah. I hated lifting for my entire. It was just monotonous and something terrible. 100%. Now it's just like, I don't know, I got old man brain.

And it just became like, oh, now every time I go, it's like. Like, ooh, it's like a little mission accomplished. Like, I'm lifting five more pounds than I've ever lifted before or whatever. But now like doing clean like doing cleans and like snatches still suck. But like doing front squats and like doing all different. But like I love like doing like doing like doing. Front squats are fun. I love doing clean.

I've never done cleans or snatches. Oh, cleans are awesome. My shoulders are too fucked up to want to be committing to explosive movements like that. Yeah. Cleans are just fun. Like just go light. It won't really affect your shoulders. Because most of that stuff's like.

it's form, but it's mostly just like your, your legs just hossing everything else. That's the thing. Ended around. Another, another MVP round. Easy MVP round. 2018.

I like, you know, fantasy team, like we'll take the win. You're a ranked win. You're not going to, right now we're not getting a bonus, but ranked win,

it's good fantasy performance for you. Hell yeah. Wins and wins are the most important thing. You're going to, you're going to be in the running to win this thing if all of your fighters win. If all your fighters win, fighters win you're going to win.

That's just, I think that that's just it. Nobody ever had, nobody thus far has had it. We'll see. Bam, that was so nasty. Yeah. Boom, boom. Oh, a little left, a little just short left caught him and sent him tumbling a backwards.

Cana's like, all right, you son of a bitch. I want to, but that's thing, I'm not, I want to lift weight, like a weightlifter. I'm trying to lift. heavy. Except for this week. All right. And we're waiting for the promo

to be read. Off. Byer with the absolute roast of the day. Luke Thomas probably pulls sumo. Absolute. Luke might fight you

if you heard that. Oh, wow. Actually, Luke might even do that because his body is entirely fucked up. So it wouldn't totally shock me if he's like, I have to pull sumo. Every part of my body is broken.

um so i did his knees were shit forever i know he's got better knees now but oh really nice combo from mvp the real talk never pulled sumo i want to try it just to do it but i've never done i did it those are strength like two weeks last last monday maybe we're doing like sets of six the sumo it's just it's just different yeah i mean he's just not getting hit by anything oh big job oh The second takedown, Billy hits the bet. Does that cause a takedown if he just falls to the floor? I mean, I think statistically it does. But just a mistake by MVP.

Yeah, just a little over-aggressive. Yeah. And now here's Canaaner, you know. This is what the round's probably going to be, unless MVP can get back to the fence. MVP, like, Dalsam. Honestly, yeah, a little bit. A little, little Dalsami.

A lot of arms, a lot of arms out there. Yep. maybe we have a referee that will just be like quick to the quick to the standup because like nothing's happening here who is ref in this one i haven't paid attention is it goddard uh genuinely have no idea i don't either i cannot don't recall seeing him at all i don't know why he popped into my head but you know i don't i don't know the rules on whether you can't air full mountles into the case oh boy my guess is you can't it would be incredibly funny if jare kananer won this fight right now no wouldn't oh not for your fantasy team but for everyone not playing fantasy.

Oh, good job MVP. I mean, just veteran getting back in half guard. If Canada just got into Mount and then out of nowhere, finished MVP because he effed up, that would have been. It would have been really funny.

It would have been terrible. Disaster for you. I've had like the worst luck in this shit. So far over two seasons of it. So that would just be par for the course. Oh, good elbow. I mean, MVP,

As long as MVP just holds him, he'll be okay. I lose Armin Saruki in the day before he fights for the belt. You have somebody this go around two that I'm just like, oh, like you have Ilya. I don't think I'll is fighting this year. He might. He could. I got Kayla. She may not fight this year either.

Kayla's saying Kayla and I'm just like, that feels like new TV deal business for those two. I mean, the Ilya one is just like. Look at your kid. You're going for a wrong triangle. Oh my God. How funny would that be? I mean, not for you, obviously. I mean, the biggest thing with the Ilya, having Ilya on the team is like, it's dynasty season.

Like that's true. You do the guy. I can keep, I get to keep him next thing. I can keep him forever and ever. Oh, no. Look it. Going for a Camorra. He ever fucking finishes this from this position.

Oh, he was getting a little haussie there. He was. Oh, God. The scumoras are just so hard to. If he grabbed those gloves, there you go. Canaan here. I mean, they're both so sweaty, but can you're back in the mouth. back and about.

Get, get, always, I mean, Canaanier trying to show that. Is Jared Kenneyer ever submitted anyone? I need to find this out. He has two submission wins on his record. I don't, couldn't recall them.

Oh, so he had an arm bar in his second fight ever. And a rear naked choke in his fifth fight. So never a submission. Oh, man, he was so close to getting back up. What a hero.

So close to getting back up. Just give me that ranked win at this point. 60 seconds survival mode Southside Luke's down yonder thing is like I've told that story he's told that story it's absolutely a fact I think his better call y'all is an

incredibly fun name and then the rest of it is just like I mean I'm from the South so I'll own it but like he's from the South so whatever grew up in fucking Valdosta So, like, Valdas is more south than anything you can imagine. 30 seconds left. Great effort from Canaaner to a spirited 29, 28 loss incoming,

unless the judge is just stone robes. I mean, there's just no chance. There's just no chance. Very clear. If he gets a sputty, geez, that would be a robbery. That would, yeah. I will lose my shit. But that would be a robbery.

But, I mean, Canaan Air out here, he tried real hard. Page wins more than likely. MVP going to get the nod. We're going to get to fire the gun. Minus 198. And we get the fantasy win. I mean, I guess I got to probably cash,

so I don't recall in perpetuity. But I'll fire mine anyway, because the parlay leg cash for sure. And I just love firing the money guys. I won. I won. You should win. I can't, there's just not really a conceivable way to score.

He was knocked down in both of the other rounds. So how would you possibly score it for Josh, you're crazy. Josh is just, you're trolling. I think he is, but that's okay. A draw. What is happening here? I mean, he didn't do enough damage in the round three to warrant a 10-8. And I am the king of 10-8s, as we all know.

Yeah, the knockdown of round one is like, compared to Jared doing literally nothing. That's... Dang, come on, bad judging. People really just want you to lose fantasy points, Mike. It's what I'm gathering from this experience. Unless I'm just like... Oh, God.

Unless I'm just like super behind here. I would hope not. Oh, God. Now I'm nervous. Whatever you do, do not ask Canaaner any questions. Do I have to put the money back in the gun? That's tough. I have to pick

each individual hundred that I shot out. Look at Hans-Otcha. My God, I'm so ready for this. I mean, literally everyone online agrees because it's just very obvious. Michael Page is about to be the 15th ranked welterweight and the in a top 10 middle weight.

I mean, yeah. I mean, I guess Casey's got to put him high in the pound-for-pound list. Let's go. Let's go. I mean, hey, big fantasy points. That's one 50 smackaroos coming your way, Mike. That's absolutely massive.

What a great draft pick. We'll probably get another, at least one more MVP fight this year. I mean, very possible. You took no damage in this fight. Why is MVP doesn't have a flag? He's explained this before. I forget what is. I forget why.

That's weird. I don't know that I've ever noticed it. Um, that's odd, but okay. So who, who are you matching MVP up with next? Or do you just, it looks like he's going to stay at middleweight, which he probably should. He should 100% stay at middleweight. Um, let me take a look at the old UFC rankings, the old middleweight. So he is going to come into the number nine spot after defeating Jared Canoneer.

I think I have an idea. I could, I don't know that this is going to happen. just because there's a lot of other stuff, I could see them doing Izzy. I can see, I can see Izzy being interested in that. They're like, they're like buds. Oh, are they? Okay, then no.

I don't know the social aspect. So they're like tight. Like, they're really tight. Okay, if they're tight, then no. But MVP said he would fight him, but it would have to be for like a shitload of money. What about the loser of Imovov Bahalio? Yeah, be fine.

Because I don't want to give him Whitaker or Strickland. Yeah. Or is he? Because I want those guys to fight each other. Like, it's hard. I mean, I would... I don't know if he called anybody out or not. Chat, let us know if he called somebody out.

I'd give him RDR because I already would kill him. And it'd be great. Artie R'd kill him. It'd be sick. Pull up those rankings again? Like, Brennan Allen wouldn't be a bad one. Brennan, that would be him. fighting back.

Is he? Orlando Bloom showing up in Chicago. Legolas himself. Paul Costa? That'd be like the weirdest fight ever. That probably makes some level of sense. But that's the MVP thing.

There's always weird. Number one pound, pound fighter in the world, baby. For at least another hour and some change. I know who Taylor Kitch is. I don't know that I know the other two people that are in. Terminal is dark. Well, I assume is a terrible film.

Is that a film or a television show? I assume. And there's Alex Ferreira. How about that? That man has no sleeves in case you and Brian staying out behind him, Cheeto behind him, Burnsie behind him. Pereira looks like he's wearing like the dentist vest that you put on. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, in just that. Like, I mean, man has aura. He can wear whatever he wants. He sure, he can. Kind of wild that it's going to be like six weeks before we do this again, Mike. I was telling my life that I was like as we have watch party tonight

then we don't have another one until October and I was like we can actually Yeah I was like we can actually We'll probably be able to like comfortably go back in By that time The other command center We're probably gonna We're probably gonna have like a miniature

version of this couch going in there Nice So we're gonna mix it up This is a comfortable couch Those chairs Are like okay But they're not definitely not as comfortable as this.

Not nearly as comfortable as this. And a little more restrictive. I'm pretty excited for 320. Like, I mean, the main event, whatever. Um,

but Maraub's and I'm very excited about. I like 320. I think it's good. And I also love the patch of mix fight. I mean, just terrific matchmaking. Oh, wait,

we're about to get protested Neil. Okay. Uh, we sure are. I let the masses know. Uh, hopefully we get the entire 320 lineup here. It's important.

Um, despite the fact that I kind of think, Jeff Neal's a live dog. We have Carlos Prattis' favorite thing, and we will be celebrating fighting nerds in the appropriate fashion voice. Let's go. Let's go.

Time to celebrate Carlos Prattis, baby. Let's do the damn thing. Fire up your Marlborough Reds. Only the Reds. I'm so excited. Only the Reds, kid. I mean, I think this fight's going to be bad. got to do the red

product placement right there Michael I have another member of the team hack fantasy yeah you got a lot of boys coming up here in a hot minute I do fun hat the fun hat

didn't work this morning for the first five of the evening it sure didn't I assume Alex is not getting his belt back it would be cool if he did I'm going to guess he doesn't get his belt back but I guess we'll find out.

I honestly think the better outcome is him not getting his belt back. The better outcome is he should have got Alex Pereira or Tom Ascentall. Yeah, because then you can have Yeri fight on. You can be doing fun other things and Alex can go try and fight heavyweight. There's your main card. The two title fights, Yeri Khalil slapper. Banger. Rackich versus Merzikana.

I don't. That'll probably be fun because Merzacconov is probably going to kill him. Just going to try and kill him. And Abuse and Joe Piper. will be well i mean pipe for was not very fun in his last fight but abyss is kind of a madman both of those are weird all right what else we got like isn't that fun of a fighter is a problem but he gets got really good lately when he gets got it's just doesn't happen where's the rest of the card uh that's next week next week uh guys i'm going to let you know the climb i don't know what

the odds are the climb is going to be uh jengeng yang we're going to be climbing with old jang let are the odds up yet let's actually see yeah Brian Ortega, El Jermaine Sterling, Sergei Pavich, Waldoch Cortez-A-Costa. Despite hating Brian Ortega, because he sucks, I really like that fight a lot.

I kind of want to feel alive because I am going to work that card next week. So I'll be up bright and early for that one. I kind of just feel like I have to go over one and a half in Pavlovich, WCA. I think the electricity will just be all over the place. Yeah, no, my guy. Pavlovich who's on my fantasy team he's gonna throw one punch he's gonna throw one punch and I got Waldo so that's a big one for us

it is a big one I was just got tackle and beat him it's gonna be terrific uh actually I looked it up Zhang is only a minus 390 VR friends at Fandall right now so literally the moment this one is over and we've cashed this climb bet at the main event um we're gonna just turn around and put that in before that line changes too much because I don't need to study the tape it's gonna be the mountain tiger against the guy who dies real, real well. As is it, I'm going to take the Mountain Tiger against the guy who is maybe the premier dyer in the sport at this moment in time.

It's a good dire. Really good dyer. Premier dire. He might be the best guy dying in the whole sport right now. That might be the best thing ever. Zhang Ming Yang, he's a slapper dude. So that's our con next week, boys. Don't have to think too hard.

I love how Carlos Pratchez Jeff Deal is getting the centuries from Follow Boy treatment here. Nice. Also, don't feel a great song. I mean, that's a great song. Joseph Boza, don't feel bad for us next week. We like, next week, I'm pumped. That car's going to be done by like one. It's going to rock.

Oh, it'll be over before that. I don't have a Saturday evening for the first time. It's a night. No, it's a 6 a.m. main card. That's when I thought that was the prelim. No, 3 a.m. prelimbs. Yeah.

That's fine, dude. 3M prelims, 6 a.m main card. Some dumbass PFL on Friday? Yes. Okay. PFL Hollywood, Florida. Okay. So, I mean, I'll probably, I'll miss the prelims and I'll wake up the

The PFL. The PFL card. I'm working the PFL. Let me tell you about this PFL card. There are title fights, including the heavyweight title fight featuring Alexander Romanoff, not good enough for the main card. That is a prelim main event. Remember Carl Williams?

Sure do. He is fighting on the prelims. Carl Williams, heavyweight over champion. We love Carl Williams. Do you remember Andrew Sanchez from the UFC, middleweight? No. He's fighting on the prelims. It's a very PFL card.

Very PFL card. But it is a hard rock and it's always like a cool venue for fights. We love, I mean, PFL, you know I support the boys. I assume I'll be working that. and uh yeah because i feel like i usually were i didn't work in this because you physically went but i think i worked i was on it anyways oh were you okay yeah i was like i feel like i usually work pfls though i guess maybe not since i'm our contender series guy so maybe a k's like i won't have you stay up tuesday nights and friday nights now yeah i'm pretty i'm pretty happy because um

my kid and i are playing a golf tournament like later that day uh his like junior pGA seasons wrapped up so we're doing like a two-man scramble like the the kids and the dads oh that's a really fun concept yeah so what's interesting about it is we i have to we're all playing from the junior tees hell yeah so like rock you're gonna drive every green no like the junior pGA teas are par five is 200 yards yeah it's it's gonna be incredible i'll be in like you're never gonna hit driver it's ever i'm not gonna hit any i'm not gonna hit any i'm not gonna hit any i'm not gonna hit any would at all. Yeah.

Like you bring an executive bag. You just be like, all right. Eight iron and below, baby. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah.

Probably like, yeah, it's probably like seven iron below. Uh, on that note, my new low handicap achieved. I played Friday morning before work. Shot an 82.

Nice. I am officially sub nine. I'm in 8.9 now. Nice. Which is new career low. I shot a 38 on Thursday. I was very excited. I mean, 38's a good, good nine.

Yeah, it was a bogeyed the first two holes, and then it was nothing but pars and one birdie after that. So it was a great day. When is Ngatu fighting? Did you ask Don? No, he had no answer. He wouldn't tell me anyways. He wouldn't.

He wouldn't tell me. Casey, throw Fahim up there because Fahim super chatting us. What if your internet goes down and can't see the rest of the card, especially the main event. Buddy, I got a cell phone right here. Where there's a will, there's a way. I'll be doing a thing called a tether on this cell phone. It won't be pretty, probably be a bit patchy.

We'll solve that problem because there's a Bdubs. There's also a Bdubs like, there's a Bdubs like three and a half miles away. So we'll just, I can hum over to Bdubs. I'll be watching that main event come. It's literally the best fight of the year. I looked through it to me. I was like, oh, this is on paper. It's the best fight.

The best fight of the year booked, like previously or currently booked even. Like, the only fight that maybe is there is Islamilia. And, or not Islamalia. Sorry, Islam Jack. Speaking of PFL, when's the earliest we would see Dakota? We'll see Ditchfield, they just, she just fought. And they just re-signed. And she just resigned.

It's a multi-year deal. I would guess next year. No, when zero she could fight in the UFC. Oh, in the, oh, sorry. So 26, 27. I would say. Oh, you know that. I don't know the answer.

I mean, 28, maybe 28, maybe 29. It depends. 29. We're going to get Carly Judice, Dakota Ditchieva in the UFC. I mean, if I'm PFL, I mean, if I'm PFL, like I gave her a three-year deal for millions of dollars like just all in on her

and just just go and it might be the last contract she signs with them but who knows who knows where the sport is that's gene little star horizon that gene

big news paul cues especially if he gets the dub over over usman in this rematch like you got some building blocks you got some pieces there absolutely you definitely do like Dalton Ross has gotten

like really fun over the years um homie who just beat Godsy Alfie Davis Alfie Davis like he's pretty fun he's fun

he's got like a little bit of a fan there's something to go there with Alfie Davis you know they got some tools PFL's lightweight division is like

pretty fun right now lightweight man yeah who's been hughes Archie Colgan who got a number one contender fight

and won it and then didn't get a title shot which is incredibly funny now he's fighting on Dubai gets J.J. Wilson who's like sneakily

won like 14 of his 15 pro fights He was on like a six-fight win streak There's also just a really good prospect When he rolled in and then did that thing Where a Bellator, everybody just stopped Nobody paid attention

And you got Godsey who Like I was about to I was about to rank Godsey like number seven Yeah This win and now like I'm not ranking him at all Because he fought like terribly Yeah Godsey was in a weird position where I was like

If you wanted to rank Godsey high I would never have been like That's ridiculous I don't I At one point I had him like 14 or 15. It was just hard for me to feel confident about them. Yeah, I might have to.

I'm not a Dudley. Though I do now know who those people are, I'm a fighting nerd. Because let's go, boys. This fight is going to absolutely slap. Watching protest makes me feel like I'm playing the UFC game. Jedd Dudley, terrific. Very, very good.

Hey. Very good. It's pro wrestling. I know. I know. Bubba and Devon? I could have pulled Bubba. Don't think I could have pulled Devon.

But I know their faces. I've seen them in like, again, my TikTok Algo has become a lot of pro wrestling stuff because I like just started watching more of it. And I still just don't care about watching actual wrestling matches, except for the Royal Rumble because that's a really fun concept. That's terrific. but like all of the lore like the unreal thing on Netflix

that show was that show was great I was deeply invested in that show and the Dudley guys talked about it was like get a bunch of clips of them talking about some like big famous tables, sliders and chairs match with Edge and somebody else Edge and Christian and the Harry boys yeah and so like I'll get I know them

Great gimmick. Yeah. You know, like if you ever get into like you want to go down like a wrestling rabbit hole, um, get peacock and watch, go back and watch old ECW hardcore TV episodes. Um, ECW was, it was just the best.

It's what game bread bear knuckle should be. I know what ECW is. I've now learned a little bit about ECW. Um, I've watched a few of the vices. the dark side of the ring. And so, like, I'm, I'm developing some habitual line stepers, but they also have put on, like, is that the name of a tag team?

No, they were just... That should be the name of a tag team. They had... This is Mike and Jed, the habitual line steppers. That, I love that. That is a terrific game. They had the gangsters, which is a terrible name. New Jack and Mustafa.

New Jack's the guy... So I know about New Jack because he's a psychopath. Yeah. And I was like, I've, I've... The mass transit. The mass transit incident. Like an actual like stone cold lunatic. Happened in Revere, Massachusetts.

Like his face is like scarred because he cut himself so many. Like a stone cold lunatic. Even I know who New Jack is. Yeah. And yeah, they would just come out with barrels full of weapons and just beat the fuck out of people. Like that's what they did. They had this team called the Eliminators who were from Boston. What's the thing where New Jack like tried to kill a dude by throwing him off?

Of a scaffold. Yeah. Like 80 feet in the air. It landed in the ropes. Like an insane thing. That was like that was an attempted murder. Is that the incident you were talking about? No.

The mass transit one was it. He like cut the dude up. Oh, I don't. Like he car, he basically like carved a guy up. Oh, that's insane.

In the ring in Revere, Massachusetts. Well, that's crazy. The him like, I saw like the clip on TikTok of them being like, New Jack is a crazy person. And then we're like,

yeah. And then he's like, oh, I tried to kill this guy. I threw him from. the top of the building. I wanted him to die or whatever. I was like, oh my God.

Like, why is this man employed? Oh, by the way, Carlos Pottis. Yeah. Looks like he'll talk ECW after. Carlos Pardis looks like he is being shot out of a candidate. And Jason Herzog is a referee. So things are again. Also terrific mustache.

Hold on, Casey. Hold on, Casey. I'm not feeling great about my over two and a half. And we are going here. I will tell you six, five, four, go. We are off. I mean, whatever. professional.

I mean, I'm so, oh, he's the best of business for a reason. It's time to celebrate call his practice here. Even though I really hope

he doesn't win quick because I got that over two and a half, baby. Let's go. Jeff Neal with a high kick early. Practice looking big. My bet is, the Jeff Neal bet is plus three and a half points.

I actually got it plus a, plus a hundred. Strongly considered a Neil Underdog bet Just went for the over two and a half Because in my head I thought I saw it I was like this is just going to be a really fun Great scrap goes the full 50

I think we're going on the cards I'd love it But it's also just going to be a sweat The whole time Because at any moment in time Either dude could change the energy real fast I am definitely noticing That Pratt just looks way

He looks enormous, dude. Oh, he tried. Oh, Neil's cracking him. Yeah, man, that's the thing. Neil is a scrapping motherfucker. Yeah. Good jab from protests. Good light kicks.

That's been a great weapon so far. Yeah. They're gonna take chunks out of each other. That's how this fight's gonna go. Oh, good combination. Jeff is just so damn tough, man. He's a professional. He knows how to do this fist-fighting thing.

Oh, good shot from Jeff. I was an enormous fan of protest this week being like, oh, I'm absolutely still smoke. It helps me my weight cut. It's like because I want to eat food. But then if I smoke a cigarette, I don't want to eat food. And I was just like, honestly, that that's actually true. But like, it's kind of an insane thing to say. But just what a, what a hero.

Like, he's the most Muay Thai fighter that's maybe ever stepped in the US. Yeah. He's just like ripping darts and fistfighting guys. He's got the 80s Tom Selleck, Magnupii mustache. The mustache is so good. He looks like he's a member of the 1987 Boston Red Sox. It's incredible. So I'm really, I can't spark this.

There's a no smoking rule in effect. So this is in the famous words of Will Smith, it's for the look. I don't light it. That's a rough lyric from the song, Welcome to Miami? No. Is it Miami or is that WaiWal West? No, it's welcome to Miami because it's a cigar just bite it.

It's for the look. I don't light it. Oh, yeah, you're right, right, right. Jiggy make it feel like folk play. Big Willie Stile. No, it's getting jiggy with it. Oh, it is getting jigger with you. You're right.

Yeah, as I started rapping through it. Big Willie style is all in it. Getting you. But it's for the look. We don't light it. Will Smith said so many hits. Like it's great. How easy how many hits that dude had.

Hit machine. And he just, Jeff Neal's still scrapping the past off. Every hit song you have was just a stolen sample from somebody else. I mean, every single one. That's just good. Oh,

what a right hand from Neil. I mean, Oh, ripped to the body for months. All right. Neil cracking him with some good hands. Oh, he caught the leg.

Caught the leg. Good knee and a soft left hook from Neil on the break. Neil maybe getting a little puffy in, under that left eye. Yeah. It's that jab just over and over. coming around, but I mean, Neil has cracked him back a lot. Like letting the hands go over.

His jab, kick to the body, but Neil is. He's really looking for that step knee as Neil comes in because he's much taller. And as Neil comes in, lowers his way, like lowers his angle a bit looking for that knee. And Neil's the guy like pushing the action. Like he's the one moving forward to. He is making a fight happen. That's thing. That's what I was like, man, this fight's going to be a scrap.

But Neil's, that eye is definitely, definitely a little. it's wearing a little bit of work there. Oh, good left hand for protest. After the knee. Oh, and then Neil just rins right back. Oh, another good left hand. Protest feeling himself right now. Yeah, I sure is.

Really, he thinks he might have a moment and then Neil changes levels. There we go. Should be a smart, it's a smart play. I'm actually surprised Jeff hasn't shot more. I know he's not like a big wrestler, but especially after seeing the success that Ian had. You got to mix it up.

Oh, okay. I thought a big moment was going to happen. Jeff was going to throw something crazy. Oh, just missed the hammer. Left head. Good, like kick. From brought this. Just a good scrappy ass around from.

Oh, that was a stepping elbow. Weirdo elbow. Oh, spinning elbows. It's over? I mean, it's over. He colded him. Holy shit balls. I think that came out like at the ball.

Like literally at the horn. Like assuming that did even land inside the horn Because technically it lands after like that's weird No, it was definitely for it. Look at Fluffy Hernandez. He is literally there. I don't know if that was an elbow or a fist that landed it like he just spun it. I don't know. This happens so fast. Out of nowhere. So it was a step in elbow.

I mean he's showing the spin. Oh, it's like, Both. It was like elbow and fist. It was like the elbow caught the head and then he sort of finished through with the forearm. I think I think that elbow is the real part because the point of the elbow. And then the rest of it follows through. And yeah, just slumped his ass.

Also like showed it. And Neil. That was sick. Oh my gosh. Damn. Fight nerd boys. The over two and a half was ambitious. I knew it was ambitious.

Super ambitious. Honestly, it looked like I had a chance. I thought he was making. getting it to the end of this round. But yeah, that is... Wow. That is certainly in the... I would not say that's K.O.

The year, but it's in the conversation for it. Hyundai P. He's still down. Well, something's going on with his eyes because his team, like, put a UFC hat like over his face. Oh, that's interesting. When the camera was on him, they're trying to hide something. Blew up his orbital, maybe?

I don't know. I don't know what's going on. The buff man. Buff man. With the purple. Protests rocking the nerd glasses Carlos Dudley Yeah

That's that was Can't fuck that one up Herzog No That was pretty cool Man Carlos protest is really fun I don't know who he fights next

Oh I actually do know who he fights next I know exactly who he fights next Dude you can chuck him in there The MEP I'd be down for that No no no bro I don't know him if he's gonna say In middleweight Wonderboy

Good Wonderboy what he wants I mean, if they do it, it's not the worst. Give me Buckley. Let's do the damn thing. You want a guy that's just going to try to tackle a bunch? We need to see it. I mean, MVP or Machado Gary had like a lot of success doing that. And eventually, it's, I think do that and that fight would be cool.

I would also, you want to do the Morales Projects fight? Ain't nobody going to have an issue with that one. Mr. Protest, though, I believe that's a bonus coming his way for sure, based on how things are shaking out right now. Who has him? I believe that that is Alexander K. Lee. Of course it is. Sure is.

He also has Aaron Pico and DDP. So, yeah. Big points for AK there. Potentially, yeah. He's got at least 200 in the can. I'm going to go ahead and say two-fitty in the can coming. for for AK here. That was fucking sick.

Sleito, I don't know what he's saying in the post fight, so I can't judge. Yeah, I don't know either. We don't really have audio in that regard. Tell me what he says. Yeah, let us know. If there's a callout or anything, like we would love to know and be able to react and judge.

Apparently, the UFC rankings of website is down. Because I can't load it up anywhere. Interesting. This is really, really fun stuff. You have it up? Yep, I do. Let's take a look. Pratchez versus...

Yeah, dude, Morales would slap. Gilbert Burns needs to not be ranked number 10. That's sort of insane. Yeah. I mean, like, technically... Morales is probably... I mean, technically, if you're going to do the thing that, like, you kind of need to do to get Pratchez the next level,

you should probably just kind of feed Gilbert Burns to him right now. It's just... I mean... It is mean. Morales is the most fun. outcome. Yeah. But, uh, no wrong way to eat the Reese's friendly.

I kind of feel like, I kind of feel like Leon Edwards should fight Michael Morales. I think it's going to be Buckley. That's my official hot, no prediction. So thank you. Uh, AJ got, got ourselves a super chat from AJ in honor of that wild K.O. You all should both rock the Carlos, uh, stash for a month. Um, I can't. pull off just a stash it it looks atrocious

Damon John in the building FooooC CEO slash Shark Tank Shark There he is Joe Missoula and this Kamara Uspen Hey Balau you were looking for him he's right there oh there is That's my city oh and of course Ball is trying to to make some gun violence in America is no joke We gotta do another fake fight smash machine

oh look the people from bader coleman kerr rooting where's cm punk you know he's there where is he smashing machine you know punk's there I would assume also like they should put him up there you know former UFC fighter

incurred WWE guy maybe that's TKO that's all in the same household do they boobel all that's if someone is asking inner side Joe the Q&A so I assume they didn't boom here. Yeah, but

yeah, maybe they were booing Usen. I mean, that I could believe, you know, Chicago is Ballas City. All right.

It's Aaron Pico time, Jed and Shue. Time for Pico, Grams. Prochers with a 10 out of 10 Mike performance called his location

opponent got a bonus. Well, who was it? Who was the opponent? Tell us who he called. We need to know these things. Who did he call out? It could be anybody. I kind of think

Louis or if he's going to win this fight. I hope he doesn't. I've been manifesting it not, but I can just absolutely see him just not letting Aaron Pico fight him and winning just like a really uninteresting decision here.

Oh, he called Alian. Oh, that's a good callout. It's a good callout. That's a good call out. I'm super curious what they're going to do a Waltoy right now. Oh, here's that movie that these people are in, I assume.

Like, who's, I know Sean Bray, is saying that like he was offered a fight and said yes um i talked to him a little bit he kind of confirmed to me that like he didn't tell me who he was fighting but he was like yeah i got a name i said yes just waiting on like the other side did they offer moosman do they offer him schofcott because it has to be one of those two guys it has to it just has to and then and then malol is probably fighting the other guy so my guess would be brady shafcott would be sick and then you kind of have to do Usman Ball at this point

like just do it but I'm sure I'm super curious to how they do this and then like who does Leon fight what happens if Islam wins the wealth away title like there's just so much weirdness at 170 right now

he retires you think so I think he should I don't know if the UFC is gonna like I think he might again put him in there I think he might fight one dude he might be like I'll fight shopcott or whatever

That fight would be awesome. But like, he's just not going to make a sustained run. Maybe fights Ilya? Like, maybe that would be the other thing. It would either be like, I'll come try and get it and we'll do that. Or like, I'll fight Chavkat. Because I don't think they'd be like,

you can go fight DDP or Hamzot or whatever. Oh. But also maybe if Hamzot does win, they're like, Hamzaq can go down to 170 and we'll try. Would you trust him doing that? No, but it would be kind of gnarly. like that'd be pretty fun if nothing else you know

you think Leon's probably retired after the Brady loss I don't know could be cigarettes are I wouldn't say they're good base for MMA but they're not a disqualifying habit is what we've learned certainly

you can and they're great for cutting weight putting the smashing machine back up there I wonder who is reping the smashing I'm sure the UFC must be connected to it It's a Mark Coleman story. Or not the Mark Coleman story and The Rock, TKO. But they're giving it a lot of play. So I'm interested.

I've come around. I was very concerned because I don't trust the Rock as an actor and this is a very serious subject matter. But hearing good things, Benny Safdi, is a very talented man. We'll see. I'm open to it being good. This is Rock's like Oscar opportunity.

Yeah, I'm confident in saying The Rock's never going to win an Oscar for acting. But if he gets a non-dude for Clay and Marker... I also just can't imagine that's going to happen. Could be wrong. Could always be wrong. But he is a terrible actor. He is a great movie star. He is a terrible actor.

Oh, he's bad. Boot him heavy, didn't even pop for Coleman weird fans these days. I would bet so much money that 96, percent of the fans in the arena had no idea who mark coleman was they probably know who boss ruden is oh they certainly don't know boss uh maybe boss's kind of famous they'll like see him like oh that's the dude in um here comes the boo yeah or whatever there you go there you go um they certainly don't know who ryan bader is they have no idea who ryan bader mark cur mark coleman boss ruton are that's just that's fan base chicken jing is i did not see weapons um not a big or

horror guy. I've heard mixed reviews, so it's probably just not the thing I'm going to see in theaters. I'll probably see it. I haven't seen it yet. I'll watch like really high-end horror, but that's about it for me. It's just, it's never something

that I was drawn to. How do you feel watching Lauren Murphy highlight promos? I would, they make it look like he's not the most boring fighter in the promotion. He's not the most boring fighter. The enemy fight was not thrilling.

I mean, he's had a lot. He's had some good ones. The E.G. I was fun. He said, that's again, it's Danny Gay. He had San Barbosa fight. He beat the shit out of him. He just killed him.

It wasn't really that fun. Also, he probably should have finished Edson Barbosa. So, like, him not doing it as pretty tough scenes. Mockon was a fun fight. Again, Sabira is a fun fight. I don't remember that fight at all. That was a draw. I just don't remember it at all.

he's just like a really really good fighter but like when your primary skill the thing you are best at is dictating the terms of the fight that's almost never interesting it's like Rory was a really good fighter and Roy McDonnell had a fight many people consider to be the greatest fight

in history of the sport there are also a lot of Rory fights which is like he has nullifying offense for huge chunks of it yeah I'm going I'm going through the the history package. The Zubaira fight was interesting because he came in in his debut. I just don't remember the fight at all. He obliterated Ricardo Ramos.

Ampico making the walk for the first time to the Octagon. There is. I don't remember the Douglas Silva Day on Drogh fight. I remember him wrecking Machuan. The Gabriel Sontas fight, I remember being like super close. Yeah, it's just...

Kulabal is fun because Kulabal is always fun. And then Barbosa, Ege and Emmett. So yeah, ma'am, I'm mostly. Here's his chance. Also, I thought he lost E.gay. That's like the other thing. I thought he beat him as well. If you, like, aren't that fun and you win decisions that I don't think you deserve,

like, it's an extra added layer of thing. Talk about a well-built young man, a man who looks good getting off the bus. Just 28. There aren't many people in the entirety of the sport who look better getting off the bus. I'm curious how long. he's going to be a featherway for what he turns like 31 32 like could he be a lightweight

carved out of stone yeah I just don't know how much like body more body fat or like weight he could lose to fight there's no body fat on him just none whatsoever I'm very intrigued by this matchup well let's see what happens like

pical could like I I'm picking Murphy by decision I have a bet on the room Murphy, I got, I said, I even told you, if it gets to plus 150, I'm taking it. And I got it at over plus 150. I'm kind of stunned Pico's the favorite in general here. I thought it should be a coin flip. Yeah. Lowell Murphy is just by far the best opponent, Pico's face.

Oh yeah. And when you say by far, yeah, when you say by far, it's like on another planet. Yeah. Not in the same ballpark. Yeah. Like there is, and almost like every guy Lerone is. fought in the last since he's been in the UFC and probably the last couple of fights are like would be the best win of Aaron Pico's career. Oh, yeah. Even Mokwan would be the best win of Aaron Pico's career.

No, not want to go that far. I think so. Not want to go that far. Oh, definitely. I don't have a lot of high praise about Mokin on Mirkani, but. Tough one round fighter. I mean, he's really good for about four and a half minutes. Yes.

Time to find out if Aaron Pico is elite level. I mean I mean I think he's elite level we're going to find out how good he is unless his body collapses because sometimes

his body just quits on him that's true yes this fight was fairly short notice for Lurone just a few weeks I don't know if he's prepping for something else

but again this was supposed to be Mavsar the fight got moved back then Mavsar's all the way out well if I never got moved back well there was yes there was

there was talk that it was moving back because it was moved off of the night event because it was like misreported yeah uh and became a thing but um talking to pico he said that pico got moved back pico moved back but what what i found kind of interesting about it is um like pico got like a little bit of heads up about the mozart thing he was in morocco like trying to acclimate to the time difference and stuff like that um and pico told me like murphy was they were going to do murphy for abu dhabi Like if the UFC had their druthers, Murphy would just stepped in in the co-main event spot for Abu Dhabi.

And Loran's like, no, I'm not fighting Aaron Pico five rounds. Two weeks ago. I'm not broke. I'll fight them, but we just have to like do it a different day. And they landed on this. Dakota, what two bucks on do you come out to? I need to know, tell me. Hopefully it's my ambitious as a riotics.

That's song frigging rocks. I mean, just about every two bucks on rock. Yeah. But that's like, I don't. that makes you want to that's your one that's one that I'm like

damn I'm ready to go I think changes is his best song yeah but like for a fist fight though without

no you probably shouldn't go that changes I mean obviously your eye favorite came out to California love

yeah all the time but that makes a lot of sense and also about um you go by second round subs is Dylan

yeah what two puck song is this let us know um it is It isn't. I mean, just a smart man. It makes sense.

Murphy, Murphy, buy a billion. What's the first song on All Eyes on Me? I'm trying to think what the first song on All Eyes on Me is. I'm rapping in my head. Yeah, I love that. That was like the first, I remember, that was the first CD I ever bought with my own money. Was that double disc.

Was that and the other album that was. immediately before or after that. That's like 13 tracks. Is that the... He gets the world. Against the world. Is the other album? I'm just going to work this up now.

It's trying to wrap through the lyrics until I get to do. Yeah. And then even the Maccum, even the Machia album had a couple of slappers on there. If I die tonight. That is the one I'm thinking of

that song would get me pretty amped to commit murder. he's got a few if I died tonight you know if I died tonight pain you know you know what else is a good song too

pain from um the above the rim soundtrack god that's a good song dude what a film Brenda had a baby is probably the worst song to walk out too in the history of songs yeah team talk

yeah that's that's a tough one that is a tough one and Pico looking focused boys focus. It's getting a little focus in here, boys. Tupac's I get around.

It's just like a fun song. Oh, that would be really fun. Yeah. It's just like come out dancing too. Yeah. So the place is packed. Polish B came out today. They opened because it was sold out.

They opened up more seats. Yeah. They're like more. They're like sold up plus. Yeah. I mean, which you would have known. I mean, Chicago, the third biggest market in the country,

they hadn't been here in like six or seven years. a pretty big fight town in general and it's the UFC they break records everywhere they go certainly if you go to one of the biggest markets in the world and we're not like in football season yet I know that there are games going on

I guess they're done now well the preseason games but like all is is stacked up for some big business for them I don't know if the Sopranos theme would be a walkout song for me I mean It's a fun theme song

Like if you're a jersey fighter Fighting in Newark Like that'd be good But Yeah in that situation for sure Yeah Herb Dean gets the assignment About to get his first

Fight in the Octagon The world's tough Is proving ground Hold on Casey we're not We're not up yet OB2 We don't know who won Because they're just starting

All right 56 55 and hit it Pico came right out, put Murphy up against the cage. Oh, right hand. Oh, dropped him. Oh, Pico! Pico, putting it on him early and then into a clinch. Oh, nice elbow.

Good left hook to the body. Pico with a, now he's got him up against the clinch. I mean, he really found the concern I had was Murphy not allowing engagements. And Pico found him immediately with pressure. I don't think he was ready for Pico. He just came right across and was like, here you're backed up against the fence i saw some people and i understand this being like pico hasn't fought in 15 16 months 18 18 whatever it was and like i totally get it but to me i'm like

erin pico is 28 that he's probably spent the last 18 months getting really good at fighting and obviously getting oh nice oh oh oh oh shopping murphy really right good and oh he's going for the no my god oh my gosh that's gonna be tough but he's it i mean he's i would say it's gonna be tough because he doesn't have the leg control. Oh, I thought he was, I thought he just knocked on Pico out. I mean, I think that right hand hurt Pico. Yeah, it sure did. And that was the thing.

But now Pico, and here's the thing, Murphy gets taken down a lot, but he's, he's been good at getting back up. Can Pico control him is the thing. Right now he's in good head pressure. His hips are high. Keeping him down. This has been quite scrappy for the first 90 seconds. That was an intense 90 seconds.

Hook to the body from Pico is. mean and the little short hook from Murphy's back up in response was also mean and Murphy's got separation. Oh boy. Pico coming right back at it. Yep. He's got to be careful. He is sort of walking straight through the fire zone.

But he wants he wants Murphy against the fence, which I think is tactically correct. Then change his levels into a pretty good double gets it. And he's, uh, Murphy's got the wizard to keep him from moving to the back. Yeah. Really good work for Murphy to use that wizard and get his back to the fence. not let Pico build up on him. Yeah, he's not letting Pico really hurt him on the ground either. A couple good elbows there, but nothing like too major.

Yeah, it wasn't, nothing full on just yet. Just some work, some chipping shots. Murphy again with a good downblock and clear. Pigo is very aggressive tonight. I think that's been kicked to the body. He can't run away from me if I just pressure him backwards into the fence. And then I can hit him because it's hard for him to create space. If I've, oh, what a name?

my lower on Murphy. Really nice knee from Murphy and Pico change levels. Pico seemed to eat it well. Yeah. Aaron Pek, one of my favorite lines in my interview there was like,

I love fighting runners. He goes, there's just something about him like I fight my best against runners. Pico tried to try his own knee. That knee was so sick. Murphy has gone to open stance here. Yeah.

Try and get a little more space. And Pico, Pico digs a decent hook into the body and again collapses him against the fence. This is really, good tactically from very smart this is like a really

a nasty left to the body his role he might have the best left to the body in the game yeah like it's oh good good jab from lorone that was like clean I think you should go back to

oh Lorone was cold with the spinning back elbow oh my god that was absolutely ridiculous Pico is out effing cold

well that is getting the bonus and he might have just got himself he might have got a title shot I mean for with that it could be holy snikesies boys

wow if you're trying to not be boring that that's a good way to do that I was a really good way to do that he turned you he turned you he didn't turn me but I want it to be known I want it to be known that I you should all thank me

because the last two guys I've called boring, then immediately had the best performance of their career. Y'all should be begging me to call fighters boring. Holy shit, dude. You know who's really boring, Mike? Drickis Duplicee. This is the most boring motherfucker you've ever seen.

We have back-to-back spinning elbow coldings. That one was mega. This, this, that is a not, that's going to be on the knockout of year. I mean, yeah. Oh, just dead. He's dead. Oh, and the parting shot, too.

He's dead, dead. his body is convulsing bam what I don't know what Pico is doing there that was weird I mean her Herb did his best he did his best

there's only so much you can do with how quick that happened oh my god I just am not clear what Pico's idea was like he stepped off on the angle into the spin he became very pretty he became wicked predictable

Lauren you could tell Lauren was starting to like figure it out a little bit Yeah, like he stepped off to this side and then it's just like, what are you, what, what was happening? What was the thought process before thoughts and consciousness left vacated your head? And that's just like what happens when you fight like super high level guys like Laron has. And dude, that was, Pico has no idea where he is. Yeah. And probably won't for a while.

Yeah, that, I mean. But again, like this is this is super important, especially like the newer fans. like I mean are we gonna are we gonna play is is this a warranted fraud check he got exposed kind of thing I know because Lauren Murphy's like one of the seven best dudes yeah but that's just gonna happen yeah that's already that's already is it happening in the chat right now just a little bit he'll look great until he got elbowed in the friggin face my stance is always like fraud check nobody really correctly calls fraud checks and fraud checks usually take multiple efforts um and you don't get fraud check news is like one of the same

six best dudes in the way class. That was a hell of a performance from Laurel Murphy. That was sick. I will tell you what. I told Casey heading in during the People's Pre-Fight show, because normally we get the who's got the most game, who's got the most to lose on the card. And I was going to say, outside of the main event,

the fighter who had the most at stake was a guy not even fighting on this card. And his name was Mozart of Loyah. Because if Aaron Pico wrecked him, he's getting jumped. So Lorone Murphy, but that happening, could. He might leap frog Mozart or they might just do Lorone versus Mozart.

Because the thing is like Volt could just tweet right now and just be like, man, that was really impressive. I'll fight the shit out of you, dude. Let's go. Volk really wants the Mozart fight though. I know he does and he should. That's smart.

But yeah, that's that was a hell of an effort. Wow. I will also say everybody in the chat, if you have a favorite fighter who you would like to guarantee wins. Oh. cash at me some money and I'll call that guy boring and I promise you he will deliver a

spectacular finish in his next time. Is that the knock of the year? It's up there but uh I mean Tabori is gonna win it just because of the stakes and what it all meant but like Tabor's gonna win because of that I would also say the um the ruffy green one is better to me the jump knee slaughter king green yeah they're a couple like really good ones though this one's up there it's certainly going to be in the conversation yeah it'll be on the most list. Oh, Volk did tweet that. Of course he did, dude.

Let me, I understand Volkovsky. By the way, I got to think I hate him. I get a shoot off the Canada. You should. You well deserved. And I know Volk. Aaron and my best friend, AK, gets a zero for Aaron Pico.

Oh, that's very tough for him. And I don't think Aaron Pico's fighting the remainder this year. After that, no, no way. I have to do, I have to step out of the frame of camera for one moment. So I leave you in charge of the, Wow. Joshua Ash, he did call DDP Boring already. Just joke your ad though.

Oh, yeah, he's the most boring man you've ever seen. If there's one thing I'm consistent about. I have to let the peeps know. The one thing I'm consistent about. It's that trick is duplice, super boring. Let's see what happened. From the old Goldman? Yep, see you in December.

Hell yeah. Congrats. Let's go, boys. now it's time for me to support the boring man in fighting drickus do plus C poor bobs are all right bring your questions yep oh we're back we're so back let's go the most boring man in fist fighting drink is two plus C let me let me let the peeps know we will support him that the main it's before midnight and we're about to get ring walks for the main event which is spectacular I don't this might be the this might be one of the

first watch parties that we've done in this new era where that has happened. Normally it's like 1 a.m. Jedd, look. That's my guy. Ryan near to Ritter. He and there's Kyle Baha'uilio. He will be in the most boring fight you've ever seen.

Giff the Fluffs are up there. Come on. He deserves his time. Yeah. There's my boy right there. There's my guy. It's a shame. That's a super not boring fighter.

That guy, exciting is the day as long. I mean, just do the thing. Give us Fluffy versus RDR. Like what? No, no, no. No. Where's the next like weird? DDP with a terrible, boring decision that no one cares about.

Then it's DDP RDR. What's the weird? Like there's got to be a weird like fight night city that needs a main event. Like that seems just like the perfect headliner. Yeah, probably. Mantella, baby. Let's go. Dricus.

Duplessy. This is this. This is. is directly from South Africa. Friends who were in South Africa purchased it and brought it home for me. This was before they, my real life friends don't know anything about fighting

so they don't know that I'm in love with DDP so they probably would have gotten me something like that but alas. This entire card has been excellent. I'm a really fun. I knew it was going to be fun. It's been an excellent card. And now we're about to get the fight of the year.

Like, we're about to get the fight of the year and one of the 10 greatest fights of the whole time. It can't be the fight of the year. DDP is so boring. How can it be the fight of the year? I mean, Lorone Murphy just got the knockout of the year, or at least a top fiver,

which nobody saw a covenant. Ugh. Tough, tough day fair and Pico, man. That's, that's rough. It's a really, really tough start. It's a really, really tough start.

That's rough. Like, getting, like, he is. That's a bad, like, dude, Loron, he's going to. The people loss was tough. That was, that was, that's a, that's a worst loss dude he is going to be in the baba o'reilly highlight real video oh for the rest of his for the rest of time like that knockout is going to be in that

in that video forever and ever a buddy of mine texted me smashing machine trailer buddy in mind just texted me was like taking a spinning elbow to the face doesn't seem particularly fun and i was like nope ask the last two dudes who fought like here's here's the thing about smashing like I'm intrigued by this and like everything that I've sort of read and have heard internally from like people in the industry like say like you're gonna be kind of like blown away

by this whole thing. The problem is it looks like a shot for shot remake of the documentary and there's a lot of it that looks like straight out of the day. And it looks like the rock is wearing Plato on his face to look like Mark Kerr. Like it looks like

that I also that is like little jarring. I don't know if he's different, but like he looks, like he looks like he looks like he's in makeup. It's not like a supernatural look. And so that's tough. But it's all like it's like,

I'm trying to stay open minded. I don't know. I think I like, I think it's going to be good. I think it's a movie that will be kind of like enjoyable. But at the end of the day, like I can't get past that right now. But like when he's bald like ballmark her played by the rock like looks more

natural to me. It's just super weird. It's like, Vinnie Chase playing Pablo Escobar and Medellee is from... Dude, it's funny to say that. I was doing some work and I randomly threw entourage on for the first time in 10 years. I was just like, I just wanted some background noise or whatever I was doing stuff. And that show has not aged well.

Let's just say, like none of that show works today. But also, I was like, this show is actually way better written than I remember it being. Yes. It's way like way better written, but whole none of this. Super chat. Can we realistically expect a round one hums that sub? I think it's in play. Probably because he's one of the most exciting fighters has ever lived.

And he's fighting a guy who is not exciting. He's not an exciting. The most boring fighter on the roster. Costa Casimates, welcome to a fighting channel. Thank you for your membership. It's a great website. Terrific channel. And now we can watch the main event together.

Spinning stuff in the air tonight. It's ironic because they don't spin pizzas in Chicago because they're not pizzas. They're, I don't know, lasagnas, whatever, though. Chicago Deep dish pizza is just not. It's super weird to me. It's not awful, but it's weird. Time for the weirdest fight of the year.

Oh, my gosh. Buddy, I hope it is the weirdest fight of the year. It would be so fun if it was the weirdest fight of the year. You all know at this point, like all I want are weird fights. Like that's the only thing I'm looking for is for someone to get all right. Just real wacky.

I'm so pumped. I'm nervous. Pretty excited. God, because I'm just, I don't know what's going to happen. DDP is going to win a really boring decision. He's going to slowly.

He's going to DDP all over him. He's just going to stick and move, jab his way to a victory. Hansel's going to get tired and he can't even wrestling after the second round. Yep. Damn right's outside, Millie. It's going to be crazy as long as it lasts.

Or maybe Jed disagrees. It's going to be super boring. DDP is just going to make everybody be like, oh, God, this guy. So, not a... He's not a big bozo? No, he's still a big bozo. But he's a...

Again, I was out running and thinking about it, and I'm coining the phrase tactical bozo for him and RDR and Yeri. They're my big. tactical bozos even though Yeri is actually like kind of

coordinated and athletic honestly the thing about like Dracus and RDR are deeply on athletic fighters is the thing Robert Wittaker

was like dude he's so slow because he's not athletic at all he's a hoss but he's like he's uncoordinated but he's

he's great and so big tactical bozos oh wow old world Mick Matt DDP deep dish pizza

I mean he's supposed supposed to win in Chicago. Holy shit. Had I even thought about that. I did think about getting deep dish to bring here. I thought about that too. And then I was like,

I don't like deep dish that much. So I'm going to pass. And then I was going to look for like a roast beef place. Oh man. Now that like a true Chicago beef, now that kind of would have slapped. Yeah. So I was not a big Chicago dog fan either.

They're okay, but it's too much. Boston. Too much involved. You want, but if if you ever had a roast beef sandwich in Boston area, Like, it is a game changer. Like, it truly is. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a gem that, like, nobody sees coming until they actually have it. Uh, once you go past, like, Central Mass, uh, you, it's just done.

But if you're in, like, the North Shore or, like, 30 miles, like, outside of Boston, like, north or south, Kelly's roast beef, like, any, like, small in a plaza place that says, like, that specializes in roast beef. you got to go and it's like your world will change i mean i love love a good rosebussando here comes hamzaa shimai if he's so confident with armin suruki in the corner won't be very soon he'll be confused he's got the uh chima got some momentum from from jimmy susr earlier he's going to be confused in like five minutes the db hipta's attempt is got to be legendary. He's going to be like, how am I losing to this guy? The same way that Robert Whitaker and Sean Strickland and his Chicago is going banana. I can't even hear it, but I can see it. It was wild how over he was with fans at the presser. Oh, he's super over.

Like just so unbelievably over in like a Chicago, which is not a place it feels like it should be him. They were in on it, man. Shumcago. Somebody said to A.K. said that? I don't know, but that's not bad. On the preview show, Shimcago. Shimkago. I love that. Or maybe Baby Hamzad said that.

I don't know. Oh, baby. The most important thing, we're climbing right now. I just need to finish. I just need this fight to not go to the scorecards. We could still get a fight of the year

and a finish. That would be fine. Just as long as it doesn't go to the score cards. That would be ideal. Shout out to the great Maji Shama, who I see in the crowd. I believe he's I don't even know what to call him

he's like the Paul Heyman for like without the microphone for Hamzaa Tchamai F he's the advocate if you will man also any fighter looking for one of those I think I could do that I could absolutely just be the guy for you you should there are plenty there are plenty out there that could use you

you know I could talk trash particularly about other people because then whether they're going to talk trash about me be like, yeah, of course you can't beat me. You can't beat him. Hey, I made the broadcast. And I was just retweeting. Here we go.

I was just retweeting our watch party tweet. If Hamzok gets a spinning elbow from below. That's a great tweet right there. That'd be really wild of a spinning elbow is what finishes this fight from either dude. I'm so fired up, dude. Like, I'm losing it right now. I'm pretty ready. I'm very, like, so is Nelson.

Let's go. Me and Nelson are both pretty prepared. If there's one thing I'm sorry. certain about the great Nelson Mandela that he would have been a big drickis fan feel like they had a lot in common oh my I hope homicides sits on top of the cage again like he did we go that is legitimately dope and he should do it he should 100% do it it's like a legitimately dope thing that he like made his thing I remember talking to izzie years ago um this is like well before he became champion because he used to do

a thing in kickboxing where he'd recline on the ropes. Like he'd be in his corner and he'd lay shoulders on one and the other while the guy came out. And I just remember it was like the coolest thing. It was such an aura move. And I was talking to him at like one of the UFC Atlanta's or something. I was like I guess it was the UFC Atlanta before the Gaslim fight at the Media Day when Media Day was different and they were just like they were all the fighters were together and little, you did scrums and moved around.

And I was like, hey man, I waited to everybody else. had gone to him and I just rolled up and was like hey used to do this is there anything that you could do similar and he's like had some ideas but nothing and then as soon as I saw Hamza do that was like that's it that's what you should have been doing she's been sitting on the cage watching the other dude walk in that'd have been cool as hell ddp no striking no wrestling no losses

love that I mean magsarapkin that's that's it I mean he has losses but you know dDP has become one of my favorite fight week fighters of all time Dude, he's, he's so good on the mic. He has all the tools to be an absolute megastar. He's the, he's the pound for found best in the microphone in the UFC right now. 100% without question. No question.

And that's the thing. Like he, because of the way the sport is, like he can't, he can't ever get to like super stardom unless he just holds the belt for a while. Like Anderson Silva style, he just has to keep hold like keep defending because like he's already done a run that builds a stardom, right? Like he beat Sean Strickland super popular. Be dizzy. Beech on Strickland.

Superpoppy beat Robert Whitaker. But like he's and he's at a level. But if he could hold it for like three or four more defenses, he is, I mean, I know he's one of the most boring fighters in the UFC. So there's that's tough. But he's terrific on the mic.

He is like a traditionally handsome dude. He looks pretty rugged tonight. Yeah. Like that extra beardage is, he's like a dude that you could see on a billboard doing stuff. He speaks well. This is great. On paper, Homs out wins, but DDP can't read.

I love that. Honestly, that's a really good simple breakdown of the fight. Like, it kind of strikes a lot to it. It's like, again, as my refrain I said all week is like, DDP has good cardio and that he doesn't believe in the video. Like, like Marava has good cardio because his resting heart rate is two. DDP is stuck in two minutes in but he just is like,

nope, I'm not tired. And like, whatever he says in his brain is just true. Like, I'm not tired. And so then he just keeps going. See,

here's, here's my biggest takeaway from this walker right now. Look at the look on this guy's face. Have you ever seen anybody look like that before they step into a cage with Hamza Atchamayev? I have, like literally smiling right now.

He's like, I'm, he's like thrilled and excited. Look at the smile on this man's face. It's like he's about to get married. He's the love of his life. He's one of the most confident fighters I've ever seen in like a very unique and weird way. We're like other like Hamza Chmai was confident.

He like he he believes, but for some reason it feels like Drick is like in his bones. There's not like an ounce of animosity or just comp. I need to prove anybody wrong. I get is purely just like a certainty of like, oh yeah, I'm going to win. like candy. I don't know. I'm going to went obviously. It is so freaking go.

Let's go. Let's go. Why would you pan away from that? Let's go, Jerkis boy. What'd they pan away from? Him and Hamzaa like cross paths and like Hamzaa's not walking towards them.

Like, what are we doing here? Like that's what you want. Let's go. Props to what. DDP. Shemiah by submission is plus 120. Holy shit.

Nadeira. Ilya, Ilya, in fact, does sort of have that same level of just like, oh yeah i'm just gonna win like just like as if oh ilia's a freak when it comes to that as if it's like an afterthought and almost so confident that it's not condescending even though it's almost definitionally a little condescending uh it's just like drickas is just like oh yeah i'm gonna win

it's cool and then like literally what ilia says about the fight happens which is like even crazier he's just like i'm gonna kill charles oliver in the first round like it's gonna happen yeah i mean that one everyone everyone may ask what your thoughts were on Shemai of weighing in at 183 did you take anything away from that was that like an FU to the haters or

my first inclination was that was him sending a message that actually actually bro I really can make it to 170 let me do that and then I'm because Jekis had some like the scale was apparently a little off maybe it was just like things got messed up but

can't wait Mark Goddard gets the assignment. Oh, my. Jesus Christ. Again, here it is. Like, if Hamzot, if things end up not going Hamzot's way, I can see Hamzah getting a little raddled. If Hamzot is beating Drickas up for four and a half rounds, I think he'll just, like, Drickus will just be like, oh, I'm just going to win in the final minute. Like, like, he's just, he is a delusional level of confidence.

Like, I don't, I just don't know that. there's anything that could talk him out of it whereas like i've seen hansa like struggle and like have some questions and he believes it but like you could you could talk him out oh what a camera shot it's great camera shot over ddp shoulder right see you guys on the other side i'm not like just looking at him be a hell of a shit it's going to be a hell of a one our bets you have ddp straight i have ddp straight and i have the climb here and you have the climb main event does not go to decision. I have a lot at stake here. I have DDP point spread plus five and a half at plus 130. Pretty happy with that. I like the bet. Because even if Hamzaa wins the way I see this fight

playing out, like I think DDP can win two rounds. But we'll see. And if he finishes, it's fine, some buffer. But I also have Hamzaa Chamaif on my fantasy team, which could end being the pick of the draft if he wins tonight because i think of hamza like super late could be oh no i got no he was one of my early picks he was not super late he wasn't like your first but he was top couple of rounds yeah uh over under how fast hamzaa shoot to take down um we're gonna set the line at six and a half seconds over wow i i think he's just gonna literally sprint across the cage and torpedo and see if it works he's gonna i think he's gonna try to i think homzah's gonna like trying to kill him with a punch.

I'd be, wow, dude. Early. Yeah, I am so fucking. I mean, I mean,

wouldn't shock maybe just shot up again. Six and a half seconds. Look at my big, beautiful, dumb ass. Boring. I mean,

he's a big, beautiful, boring bastard. First time, wow, first time closing as an underdog in all of his fights.

I did not know that. That can't be. I feel like I looked at that and that's not true. I guess maybe closing. Even the Whitaker fight? I was saying, I was saying,

I don't, know that closing must i mean they put it up there save some basis for that um i don't know that he was the favorite over strickland the oh my god this is so sick ready to go you guys are about to fight it's okay hobzat ddp getting introed he walked to the center of the cage hamzad just goes chest to chest with them security comes in bruce buffer yelling in his face let's go boys that was awesome there's not going to be a glove touch happen in here oh oh they did touch gloves look at them go I'm not talking. God, what a face off.

Let's go, boys. Let's freaking go. Oh, my. I mean, if DDP pulls them, Osvidol, I, tarps are coming off, boys. Shops are coming off. DDP pulls them off at all.

Oh my. Let's go. All right. Oh, yeah. Let's go. Come on, referee. Start the shit. Start it, ref.

My medium-sized down, son. My medium-sized moron son. Oh, right at six seconds. Right at six seconds. Six seconds he shoots. Oh, DDP, DDP, trying to pivot him.

Oh, he's not enough of the loss. You got to let go with that arm. We got the take down. You'll let go. He's trying to recompose. Hamza on side control. Hamza now going to attempt a Von Flu.

Nope. Right in the side. Beating smart. DDP's trying to get a leg. Keep spinning. Keep spinning. 30 seconds in, Hamzaa in a.

We knew this would happen. Yep, we did. Question is, can a big, beautiful boy just just be the most boring man

you've ever seen because that's what he is DDP's still trying to land some sort of punishment here he's really just trying to stay tight

Hamza's trying to step over into the crucifix which he does oh he gets the crucifix left hands these just aren't

ever going to be mega it's going to be a question of whether Goddard feels make it stop always

he's saying don't hit him in the back of the head. I mean, DDP is literally burying his face in Hamzat's chest. Oh, he just kicks out. He's trying that.

I mean, Hamlet's got that crucifix in. He's just a little short shots. Yeah. I don't know if this would be kind of like a ridiculous stoppage if it happens as quick, but if he hits him like, if he hits him 300 times,

you know, it is where it is. It's right on the air. Hear this. Yeah. You got to try and clear the head one. The one, the arm in the legs is going to be a hard one to break as he keeps,

keeps pivoting. He's got to clear. got the little head, like overhead headlock going, but these, these shots aren't going to do anything. I mean, yeah, you need to be going elbows if you're Hamz out here. His elbows are the things that will actually, but that is harder to pull off. But this is the strength of DDP right now. Like he's able to just like back overhook his head. He should pull his left arm and try and cross face now and pivot up and in.

But I mean, Homs up fully. DDP trying to hoss out. Again, bucking. He's almost got the elbow clear to a point where he can maybe pull. It's very close. I mean, Hamzat's just comfortable sitting right here. Yeah, he's not exerting a ton of energy here. I mean, he's also, these are the punches.

Yeah, he's landed 171 strikes in like one has been significant. Unclear why he's not committing to some elbow efforts here. Just because he's got a hold of his neck. Maybe I just, it's a strong man more than meets the, uh, this is very, this is very, this is very. This is a weird. I don't know what any of this. We're just holding each other right now.

Oh, there we go. And now DDP gets a little bit more of a turn. It gets out of the crucifix. And he locks his hands. Very smart. I mean, Hamzaa keeps moving up. He's going to try and reset that crucifix again.

Because what DDP is not doing is rolling to give the back. He clearly wants to be turning in, not out, which I think is obviously smart. Now he's got his feet against the fence. Now he's going to see to the fence. He's going to use this to wallwalk and try and create an explosion. Is he going to?

No, he's a little far. way now. Hamzat has his weight all the way up to stop this. I mean, Hamzot's pulling him off the cage. We are a minute 40 left remaining in this round. Hamzad is one way trafficed it, for sure.

But what does this be? I mean, he's winning the round comfortably, but he hasn't like done anything hasn't done any major damage. But he also knows that I can get takedowns and I can dominate these positions. Oh, DDP.

TDP immediately. Fence super duper fence grab. I mean, one of the most egregious fence. Now he's in a good spot to attempt an explosion off the fence. This is just smart fighting from Dracus Dupli right there. Like, what a fence grab. That's really good from Hamzat. Just walk around the fence with him and take that away from him.

Good knee to the body from Hamzot. Minutes to survive. This is what people, this is the big question. Can DDP get out of the first round? Yeah. I mean, the problem is like Hamzot has used no energy here. And that's why this is like such a. big round because this has to be a 10-8, right?

I mean, DDP's literally done nothing. So I would of course score to 10-8. I unclear if the judges will because there's not a ton of damage happening, but absolutely dominance duration. I mean, I think it's a textbook 10-8. Yeah, I mean, like statistically. We'll see if the judges agree. Statistically, like in the significant strikes aren't going to matter.

Now Homs out looking to maybe step to a knee on belly. Oh, now he got back. Oh, Jesus. DDP has 20 seconds. Keep spinning. That's the thing. Keep spinning, D. Keep spinning.

Oh, he's getting him. Why are you going for the neck, you dumbass? God, you tactical idiot. You beautiful bozo. Is he can go for a paper cutter? No, he's not. Okay. Okay.

Oh, good elbow from Hamzot. Okay. We knew the first round. My prediction that the first round was going to be really competitive was incorrect. Yes. That's an obvious 10-8 for, for boars there. Yeah, I'm going to say him.

Not one judge will score it that way, but I will. All right. I wish I could hear what he was saying, but, um. He's saying you're the most boring fighter in the world. I mean, he is. Just keep it going. He absolutely is. Guys, that's just not a 10-9.

I don't know what to tell you. The judges might score it. No, they're all going to score to 10-9. But that, but like, that's, I mean, that's a 10-8 by any reasonable interpretation of the rules. I mean, DDPDP. literally nothing. Like literally nothing. Yeah.

Hamza was in a dominant... He still smiled his ass off. Yeah. Hamzao was in a literal dominant position and probably landed a hundred and seventy-five strikes that round. Like none of them really significant. No,

nothing, nothing that was meaningful at almost at all. Like, there's one good elbow at the end. You can't, like, you just can't score that round the same way you scored

the Karini-Silva. All right. Deoni Barboza fights and sanity. Lead kick from D.D.D. Homsot fires one back. I mean, I assume Homsot's going to change levels and shoot, which he does. Sure does. That's the thing.

Defense. Oh, but he got the ankle. To the fence. You got to get up. Oh, don't get a hook. Just stand up against the fence. Turn your back to the cage. To the.

Use to the tush. I thought Max Holloway had a really nice breakdown point. He's like, um, you can't, you have to anti-w wrestle. Hamza, you can't counter wrestle him. So you can't be engaging in grappling. Hamzot all over him here. You got to stuff. and break and

neither of the bat thus far that has not been the case you know the butt 108 doesn't need more damage karen read the goddamn rules yeah it does i don't think it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't it's it's not the rules

it's it's 108 guys yeah it's just not a ddp didn't like literally nothing. You didn't land a strike. Literally had zero offense. Yeah. Let me get this fucking Jumoke out of here. Yeah.

The nonsense, bullshit. Man of 24 hour. I mean, the fight's only 30 minutes remaining. It's fine. DDP just up against the fence.

Again, not making Homs out work in a way that's going to be tough for us. So, this isn't like the worst thing that's ever happened for DDP, but I would not call

anything that's happened in the first seven minutes of this fight good for him. No. My baby. I mean, he didn't get finished, so if that's the mark. But again, is Hamzot

having to work that hard? No, and Hamzot now has to feel like really confident in forcing grappling exchanges here. So, you would have liked DDP, Hamsat's landing a couple knees, nothing major, he's just hanging on him, basically.

You would have like DDP to have some success as a DDP backer in, you know, blocking some shots, blocking some takedowns, making Hamzot think he at least has to engage in the striking and not just spam takedowns. But right now he should have no belief other than, like, I just use a takedown every second.

Again, breaks him back down. Oh, oh, well, he stuck the arm across, threatened with it, as DDP just keeps kind of knee walking around the fence. GEP just needs to get his literally get his back along the cage and scrape him off, but he can't. Hamzat's doing a really good job of breaking him down, stay working. Hamzat keeps at least threatening to feed a leg in and go for a back take. And now he actually gets one in, but he's not going to hold it as DDP just keeps shifting side to side,

trying to find a way to get his, get to the fence and scrape him off. DDP has not landed 12 strikes. That is a lie. 171 to 12. It's 10.9. Yeah, that's 109. 109. Yeah.

All right, going for a mat return again. Jurgis can get built up and that's when Hamza then breaks him down. And now Hansa got a hook in now. He's got one in maybe even across the thing. He's not committing to it because he doesn't need to. He's just slowly wearing. Are you surprised of the, I mean, he's working.

the conservation of energy here from Hamza. Like he is working hard, but typically... Very smart that he didn't... Because I think that that is how he would really open him up to lose if he just went, go for broke. Maybe he gets it. Maybe he just overpowers DDP and gets it. But if he doesn't, it's a problem.

But like, I just can't see a world where he can't do this for 25 minutes, you know? We got 56 seconds left, all Hamzaa Chamaif again. Uh-huh. But for all those people who... laid out the narrative. I mean, now we get into the rounds one and two. Now DDP's going to smash him. Now we get into C.

Again, he's yet to have literally even a moment of success. So it's hard to feel like. This is less 1080 than the first round. It's less than 80. I still think it should be. But if you don't score a 10A and I think that's, you can make an argument to not score this round. Yeah, this is more 10-9-ish.

Because DDP is like actively defending. Yeah, just hasn't actually landed any strikes really. As opposed to the last round where they landed 150 punches, even if they're not big punches, there's still punches. Like, Hamzat rendered him defenseless for like half of the round. That's why I would still sort of 10-8. If there's been zero offense from one fighter, I feel like that's a 10-8 to me. Final seconds, all Hamzad.

It's 10-9 for me, 2017 for Hamzad. They damp it up. They damp it up. Drick is, again, just completely undeterred after getting wailed on for 10 full minutes. my big beautiful boy you know this is where Drick has comes alive this is this is it

this is where Driggis comes live is like all right now I'm going to actually stuff a take down I'd love to hear it I'd love to hear it his head coach is telling him right now I don't know but any all of the things that I thought would be happening haven't so all of the like here's how here's how DDP can win he can chew up the legs

with low kicks and that'll make shots tougher he hasn't landed like anything so DDP's head coach had like the greatest quote in embedded history or UFC count on history talking about Hamzai is like he's like we can wrestle too like it's fine he goes he goes we'll like we'll defensively wrestle with him and like offensively wrestle him to the point where we make him strike

and he's like have you seen this guy's striking because I wouldn't even give him a license to compete in a striking match that's how bad his striking is we're going to find out maybe we sure are because currently he hasn't had to pretend to strike yeah Hamza looks fresh as a day He's just going to torpedo at the legs again and he should. There's no reason for not flying knee from Driggis.

Like that'd be a smart move. Stram switching. Stans switching. Punches down to the body. Drickish just threw a kick and it kind of landed. Oh, that was a good left hand for BDP. Oh,

Hamza just slams on them to the mat. And we're going to be here for another five minutes. Oh, God. Oh, you are up now and maybe could get a breakout. Oh, just drag them right back down into space. But DDP trying to stand back up.

Five for five. on takedowns is tough. Yeah. Oh, GDP turns into him. Six for six now. Six for six. He does have butterflies here,

but I mean, Hamzot immediately passes. Yeah. Interesting. I mean, I'm going to guess we're spending the next four minutes and 16 seconds here

and side control for. Yeah. And I think Hamza's about to trap that arm again. Kind of feels like he's looking for the crucifix. He's stepping up at it. And DDP has shown zero ability to do anything productive here. which is tough.

It's tough for my guy. Oh. Hamzad is working. Oh, he almost had it. He tried to get that knee on the arm. He's just not forcing anything. He's going to let it happen as it happens.

Yep. This is a very... Jergis, you really got to find a way to dig an underhook once in your whole goddamn life. Yeah. And because the head fight you're working on here is you losing here. The pure hostage.

God, if he traps that arm. again, this could be curtains. I would guess not, but maybe. I mean, it's, this is not the fight I anticipated. No. A very measured performance, I mean,

incredible performance from Hams out this far. Very measured. And he gets the trap. He has the arm trapped. Drick is now trying to move, trying to buck. Oh, he's got, the trap has happened. We're back to the punches. Now Drick is sliding low. Trick is showing a little more desperation to escape in the first round.

He's strathar landing a little bit hard in the first round. He's trying here. He cannot get out of this at all. Mike, you remember about an hour and a half ago and I was like, the thing that would impress me the most is if Hamza just beat the shit out of him for 20 minutes? He might just elbow the shit out of his face right now. It's kind of like he's just beating the shit out of him for 25 minutes. Full crucifix here.

We're going 10-8 again, I think. I mean, we are, if Hamzot ever decides to start elbowing here instead of punching, this is going to be over. Over two and a half. Hits minus 105. But my big, beautiful boy is going to figure this out. Come on, you big silly bastard. Punches to the ear. I mean, God love Anik, like putting the excitement in his voice as if a stoppage is incoming.

It's not, at least not at this rate. Unless you can start. start chucking his elbow. Now he's got the other arm. Goddard's just going to let him do it forever. He should. Yeah. This is,

this is wild, man. This is a whooping. Yeah. Straight up whooping. Okay. So fight of the year is not happening. It appears a lot of our,

a lot of our calls were incorrect in this fight. So literally the entire world's calls were out of it. Because it's literally everybody was on the same. Oh, that was an elbow. Yeah. I mean, this is just a.

stone cold ass weapon. Like I, he, again, he's got to get out of the spot, man. DDP can't have landed one significant strike in this fight. Yeah, this is another. That's why it's 15 minutes. This isn't like the other ones where Hamzaa gets to take down and kills you.

Yeah. He's, this is like worse. I mean, it's certainly more disheartening. Yeah. Like, you could,

like, you couldn't, but like, there's a story to be told. It is just all Hansa Chimai. If this continues at this rate, you're like, There's no, I mean, DDP tries to.

Oh, he got the arm free. He got the arms free. So this is big. This is big. Nasty, Natty. I'm not here to say DDP has no wrestling. I'm here to say that Hamzaa Chamaev is just, oh, Hamzaa mounted. Unbelievably good at fistfighting.

Oh, he's going for the back. Oh, no. He's going to. Oh, it's so, oh, boy. He's blocking the choke quite well here. But I mean, he's got to say calm. I mean, that leg is all the way across the body and just the worst way it could be. 30 seconds left. He's 30 seconds.

second seems like a friggin' lifetime. Yeah. So Drurgis needs a finish. Yeah, Drigas might need two finishes. He certainly needs a finish to be victorious here. And again, Hamzat's not tired whatsoever. Not at all. Oh, this round, he worked.

He had to work a little harder in this round. Still, I can't imagine. Oh, hard elbows. But my big, beautiful idiot boy. Oh, DDP? Dars. Oh, he tried. 10-8 for sure

100% Yeah 100% Hamza I mean DDP's still smiling He's having a good time He's having a good time He's trying

He's like shit man What do I do? So what's it 3025 That is correct Yeah 3025 Yeah Hamza's

I mean this is This is an absolute ass weapon Yeah I don't know Who's gonna beat him At middle weight If DDP doesn't find a way To turn this around And he still is

because power of Mandela. Buddy, I get it. It's a reaction. You just can't react to him attacking you at all because as soon as your hips come forward, it's go time.

You're done. 15 to 1 significant strikes is a funny count. I mean, that makes sense given what's happened, but. What did the overall strike total? That's what I want to know. It probably was fairly low

because I think the over-under-un the fight was fairly low. I think most people... No, the overall strikes total in this fight so far. Like, what are the number? Oh, 15 to 1 is apparently with someone in chat says ESPN has seen.

Oh, for significant. I'm talking total. Oh, that would be extremely high. It's probably like 335 to. We're back. Round 14. Yes. My big beautiful boy.

This is it. Oh. Maybe Hamza. I'm going to do some striking to show my skills. DDP. At which point, DDP catches him. Good body kick from Hamza.

And a good jab into a takedown. Break! You got a break. You got a break. He did. He got punched in the face. But then. Hamza just kept going at him.

Grab the fence, DDP. There's an enormous golf and athleticism is what I'm seeing in this. Yes. Because Hamzaat like just came at him. DDP actually did a really good downblock stuffed, cleared. And Hamzaat was just on his legs again before DDP could move. Yeah. Just an enormous golf and athleticism.

Yeah, he is a freak. It was pretty impressive here. Seven takedowns landed for Hamzaa Chabayev. It is just all boers. I'm blown away how uncompetitive this fight is. Total strikes is 351 to 25. Jesus of Posa. Jesus Christ.

Yeah, I don't think I'm ever saying maybe this guy can win after this. I was pretty clear earlier. I was like, hey, if he just kicks the shit out of DDP for 25 minutes, I, there's, I'm never going to pick a middleweight against him. And that's where I'm at. He's kicking the shit out of DDP for, you know, what is 17 minutes at this point. But, you know, oh, we're back to the feet. DDP is on the feet.

Oh, my God. You have to get a wizard there. You have to get a wizard there. Like, you just have to have the wizard and keep him in front of you. You cannot let him get to the back as relentlessly as he is. This is insane. That's pretty impressive, man. Yeah.

It's really, really impressive. I'll be sad if my boy loses. I'm still not willing to say he's going to lose yet. He's got time. But it means we can. get ddp rdr and i'll i'll like that a lot too and then you know it's fluffy versus shemaiah would be incredibly incredibly fun i am a little interested to see how the fans react to humzot doing this because it's obviously incredibly impressive yeah but like casual fans don't really care about that um you know

if he goes as long as he is uh like what does dana say about this in the process i mean he dana's going to put him over he's like this is unbelievably impressive if this is a law it would be like not a Barnberger. Yeah, he's going to be like, this is on, like, to do that to a guy, Driggis never blah, blah, blah, blah, that he's going to put him all the way over. And I think that should be the reaction.

I am just curious, like, I can't hear if the fans are booing or whatever. Yeah. They're so pro-Hamsat. Let us know in the chat, by the way. Yeah, they're so pro-Hamsat. But, you know, like, this isn't the most fun thing to watch is incredibly impressive.

Oh, it's, it's so high opening. I think Drigis, oh, no, he's got in the store. Oh, no, he's going to trap his arm again. He's right into the cruise. Cruzevix. At some point, Driggis at least got out of the time.

He's okay. He's okay. Driggis going to have to start absolutely selling out because he has no chance. Oh, now he's got the arm trapped. Oh, boy. Yep. This is a big moment. I would like to see Hamza.

I mean, at this point, don't do it early because you want to preserve gas. You got seven minutes left in this fight, a fight that you're winning by a million miles. You should go a little ham, little ham here. Get a finish.

Make a same. Yeah, you should, you start, start empty. in the horses here. A little over 90 seconds left and just, I mean, literally one-way traffic here. There has been nothing productive from Driggis Duplessi for almost 20 full minutes. It will be the most incredible comeback in the history of the sport.

If he finds a way to do it, it seems unlikely. Oh, for sure. He builds his way back up a little bit. Like this is where Hamzat should just say screw it. just grab the neck. Look at this. Just do the fluffy bouncer choke.

I'm tired of this shit. Oh. What happened? Goddard. He just separated him? I guess. Why? Maybe the crowd's booing.

Sometimes I get some. It's a ridiculous separation. Oh, DDP kicked him. Something decent from DDP and they immediately goes right back to the ground. That was the weirdest. I mean,

I'm okay. I'm okay. It's bad. It's objectively terrible. I'm okay with it because why not? Let's have some fun. Yeah. Let's give,

let's give DDP a chin. Can you imagine if like head kick, chaotic him? If that knee had landed and then that was just the end. Yeah. The other thing, Hamza seems to have a good chin. The other other tough part for him.

Yeah. 20 seconds. Let's see if DDP can get any momentum here. There's no chance. I just want to see. Hom not going for it. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. I mean, so close. That's the thing. I want to see him do a little more of that, both because my climb really wants it. But like,

just try. Just unload. Like, now. this is and if that's literally that's the thing if homzot realized like oh instead of going as hard as i can at the opening bell i can just wait and go as hard as i can the last bell now the smile is off ddp's face yeah um i mean it would be hard to get the shi kicked out for 20 minutes that's a lot there's a lot of getting the shit kicked out of you and also this is one of those

Wallson's words just like they're they'll never fight again because why would they? Yeah. 40-34, right? Is that it? 30-25. A million to nothing. Yeah, 40-34. Yeah, 2-10-8s, 2-10-9s.

I think I may have, in hindsight, as I'm watching this, like one of my things is like, I don't like, Hamza, a lot of his game is predicated on just physicality. And like, I think Driggis can match that. A lot of Brick's game is also predicated on physical. And apparently Hamzad is much more physical. Also infinitely more athletic, which I think is actually the bigger issue. But yeah, this is a hell of a performance.

Goddard is a boat. What is he waiting for? All right, rough. Go for broke. This is it. Go for broke. I mean, just do a jumping knee. He did.

He tried. Oh. Oh. He slowed Hamzot down for a second. Oh, good right hand, DDP. Let's go. More of that. I mean, he's just going to shoot.

Oh, he's got to be. He's so slow. This is so slow compared to Hamzot. You cannot let Hamzot go first, man. Riley, I'm going to ban you because you're just a dick. Humble pie for Jed, like, why? What? At what point was I ever like, Hamzot sucks?

He's like, no, I love DDP and I'm going to be cool with it. Like, I'm not going to not like the guys I like. This is a hell of a performance. I'd love to see. At this point, like, Homsai getting a finish would just be. Yeah, I mean, right now you should just go for it. You can't ever lose this fight. So just crank all, like, put it all out.

Although my guard might just stand him from this position, the way he's been roughing today. I mean, again, you should just be elbowing. These punches are scoring, but Mark Goddard has proven he's never going. There you go. That was elbows. You can do 126s is now, too, Hamzut. Mm-hmm.

Oh, he's going for the Camorra. DDP To the back Just take it Just just Just take it Just fluffy bulldog Just be like

Bouncer choke F this dude Right now His neck was available Oh This is I gotta tell you If you told me

Hamzat was winning And the climb bet Was gonna fail I would not have believed you This is I mean literally Dominate him And the climb bet's not gonna cash

This is the Marab This is the Marab yawning That I just I was that that was That was gonna be the most shocking thing And this is exactly what that is.

Yeah, it's just incredibly impressive from Hamzai here. The guy I always like really liked, but then, you know, I'm in love with, with Driggas.

Get up, DDP. This is a huge moment right here. Oh, no, but Hamz is such a monster, it's a question of, will there be a stoppage?

That's all we're looking at. God, Hamzied and Fluffy is going to be something someday. I mean, Hamza is just going to kill him. If he's doing this, like he's just going to, kill him. He's going to kill everybody at this weight class.

Ah, needy. Yeah. It's nasty to the back. Let it go. Go put, put a statement down, Hamzot. Oh, you can't keep wrestling with him, I guess. He's on top. Now Hamza is just going to hold. He's like, I'm fine. If I just stay here for two minutes, it's okay. It's a big moment here. Oh, no, he shot the killie. What the hell? Oh, my God. I mean, they're worse things. Yeah. Whatever. I mean, you got to try something.

You got to get a finish. But yeah. Yeah, Gilly is not, uh, is not happening. But Mike, this is where it happens. This is where the white belt hit bump to mount. I am prophetic. I don't think that's going to happen. Be Derek Lewis.

Imagine if he hits like an Ezekiel joke right now. Like something's just fucking. Be dead for shit. Yeah. Um's up. Buddy, I need, you got 90 seconds to get my climb bed down. Again, I just never saw this coming.

What a performance from the soon to be a champion. I'd give him a bonus too for this performance. That doesn't, I mean like in by most. Oh God, he's stood him up. I'm actually totally okay with that. I'm fine with that one. I mean, I'm fine. I'm more fine with that one than the other one.

Jump knee. Jump knee, DDP. Just do it. We got to try and Moss for all his ass. Do the point down. Do the backs all the way. Do the point down right now. You know, that would be the best.

Do it. Do the point out. Oh, DDP with the kick. That's the best striking you let in 25 minutes. You got to try so hard, Triggis. Good right hand, but it's just not nearly enough. Oh, Hamza. You got to keep.

Hamza. Oh, oh my God, he's stuffed to take down. Kind of. Well, it's not going to stay forever. Oh, Elmo. Do a million of those. 100 million of them. It would be the best comeback into this year in the world.

It'll never have. There's no chance. There's just no chance. Look at him. He's finally almost defending takedown. Oh, DDP! Do it for me one time! One time, baby!

Oh my God! Oh, my God! Come on. No! No, it was so close. He had the arm across the chin. Oh, it would have been the best thing in the world. It would have been the best thing in the world.

You've got to try. try. There's 10 seconds. Do something. You got to do something. Oh, oh, Michael. That was so fun. Oh my God.

I allowed myself to live in that world for like four seconds. I mean, when he got the girl across, it's like if he just cranks it, I thought he was going to do it. just do everything you came into trying to crank it. That would have been incredible. I thought you did the year you finish up from Glover. Just like,

oh shit. What happened? I have it. Oh my God. Oh, it died the happiest man. I'm like, oh my God.

You would have to like just quit the sport. Like, quit covered the sport of that way because it couldn't have gotten any better. Millo, we're going to put you in time out because you're stupid. Is that 109 for a hundred? It doesn't matter. DDP.

You can get a 107 because it's just so funny. He finally stuffed some takedowns. Yeah, 50-43 is my final score for Hamza-Shima. The climb dies, that's a shame. Never saw the climb die in that way ago. What a day for Team Hex fantasy team. Hamza-Chame gets the big win. Terrible day for Hake.

He's literally like out of fantasy. He's like, he's done. Nobody's out, but it was tough. Pico's out for the year now with an L. D.P's out for the year with L. everybody takes losses somewhere. So he'll be still got a chance. Again, like look at that whole thing.

Like he's just the difference. He had three guys tonight. Who's the other person you had? I don't remember somebody else. I'd have to look it up. That was fucking. What a finish, man. Ah, and new.

Yeah. Unbelievable. All right. Now we're doing DDPRDR. Like without a question, that that is the fight. I don't care how long it takes. that is the fight. What a performance, man.

I mean, what can you say? You can't do anything, but take your head off. That's a bad man, and jammer right there. He's going to be like a pretty massive betting favorite

over everyone he fights. I had DDP number three pound for pound. I think I have to put Shemai'i in that spot. I mean, he's going to be top five for sure. Yeah, I think I just have to put him there. There it is.

It's official. Ron, there's Arm and Saruky and celebrating. Ron, I was pretty clear. I didn't, DDP, not to have the rain. that if he had won this fight, the conversation would be open.

But I'm just like super, is he had five title defenses? 50-44s. They're not the same. 50-44s across the board. So at least one 10-8 was given. Yeah. Again, that's probably not what should have happened. It should have been two 10-8s.

It just sort of doesn't matter at that point. I mean, that was just an absolute asshole. What a performance, man. Yep. And like, finally, he was the dude who was supposed to do this. It took him five years to get here, not even in the, the way class we envisioned it at. Yeah.

And now Armands in the corner and he, you know, who knows? Maybe, uh, maybe a hook of the chance. Robbery. You're right, Roebuck. That's so funny. God. I mean, just full circle moment. Chimae that most is going to fight twice here and that seems unlikely that that that's

even that much. I wonder if he does. I wonder if he fights by the end of the year. Like, Hamza barely like, he's not even tired, like at all. Not, not tired. I mean, there's no reason to get tired in that fight. Shout to Maji. Like, good dude, Majis.

Not a ton of, like, great dudes in the sport of Bajis. Look at a lear. Yeah, Jesus Christ. Look at a lear. He's like $2.90 right now. That's a big fellow. Yeah. Look, I'm sad.

My boy lost. He was never going to win forever. We now get my two medium-sized adult sons fighting, and it couldn't be happier. Yeah, you still get what you want, which is nice. It's going to be so fun. Holy shit, man. No, I don't believe Bullock could be DDP. What?

Somebody asked that. No, he could not. No. Again, guys, I think y'all really need to, like, that was, that was not a situation where DDP can't defensively wrestle. Hamza Chamaev is extremely good. He's just an absolute animal. He's extremely good.

I'm not tired to tell you that DDP is, like, the best defensive wrestler. But, no, that's. That's all. Hamzad is amazing. Not DDP is bad. All right. Drick is getting the mic time. I want to hear what he says. Let's see what he says. Say robbery. It would be so funny. Yeah. Did you be putting them over. That would have been the coolest thing in the history of the world. That has to be the clip right there. That's the clip.

I don't know the coolest thing in the history of the world. Yeah. That's that's the clip with this fight. We wouldn't have had a post show. I would be streaking through in South Carolina. I would just be sprinting around without pants on. I mean,

it's crazy how this card all played out because like the first 11 fights were all like heaters and big finishes and shit. And then this fight was just like one of the least things yeah, it was just, which is wow, it was all week.

I was like, I guarantee you that this main event will be awesome. Yeah. And it wasn't. It was impressive. but it wasn't like we're not going to go rewatch that a lot. Yeah.

And I mean, you did say on the preview show like something special is going to happen. At least that was pretty pretty damn special. And I'm not putting over his team champion of the world. He did it. That was incredible. He did it. How are the people reacting to this? We'll have a post show.

It's going to be at a different, it'll be at a different stream. So we'll take a brief time out. Shuffle up and deal, so to speak. But what a performance, man. Pretty fun main card. Tim Elliott gets a big finish. MVP almost got a finish. And then like because we got the moment at the end,

it still ended kind of fun. Yeah. And just incredibly impressive. Yeah. Like Carlos Pratch is spinning back elbow plus punch. and then Lorone Murphy with a knockout, a Baron Biko that is going to be on the list. It will be in the top five without question.

And then, I mean, just super duper level asshole from Hamzaat Shemayef. I mean, I cannot believe how uncompetitive that fight was. Guys, I'm starting to finish. RDR is not feeding comes up. Oh, my God. I believe I am the biggest RDR fan. on him.

And he's not doing that. I'll cheer for him. I'll bet him. I'll support him the whole way that happened. I honestly, I honestly think the only

and maybe this is not just me being a homer. This is just like, how I have a trivia feel. I think the only, and I don't think I wouldn't even pick him right now, the gimmick.

The only guy I think has any chance in beating Hamzad is fluffing. And I don't think he can be in it. I don't. You're listening to the Vox Media podcast network. Thank you.
