You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Yeah, in a fight, you know, all the fights I'm in. But you guys aren't professional fighters. That's the thing. I'm 60-40 protecting myself. I'm sure the guys that are in there are like, I'm going to 100% knock this guy's head off. I'm going to weave it.

You guys have heard Mike Tyson say, right, I'm sure the guys that are in there are like, I'm gonna 100% knock this guy's head off. I'm gonna weave it, I'm mixing it. You guys have heard Mike Tyson say, right? Everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the nose. Everybody thinks they're gonna win the knockout bonus of the night right up until you're in a fight against somebody who's about as good as you are and you're afraid of it happening to you. The bonus needs to be higher.

$100,000 for those guys is not enough incentive it is no Dan it's not a million dollars you will have guys like Floyd Mayweather guys who don't go for knockouts they will then go for knockouts if it's not left and right okay same guys so who over like Martin Lawrence and then fight against Tommy Hearns yeah at least we get a knockout I mean Stu got I believe... You guys think... do you guys think I have this wrong? Because I know that Stugats' chief incentive is always money on all things. But I think that the chief motivator for most human beings that is higher than even money

is surviving. And when I put people who, even if they're trained in a fight in front of others where they can not only get knocked out, but also embarrassed and their career can get derailed by being on the wrong end of the knockout and everything they've worked for, there's not an amount of money that you can put in these circumstances that is gonna actually

get you more entertaining fights. I think we all understand that, but there are more entertaining fighters and they're guys with different different styles different disciplines that they're stronger at and if you're a matchmaker if your top guys are More suited for ground fights and more defensive style fights It's your job as a matchmaker to put guys that lean on other disciplines that are a bit more aggressive and a little bit more Exciting for the fans, especially when you consider it's happening at 4 a.m. local time I don't care what time it is in Vegas like it's 3 a.m. there the

the welterweight championship that we just saw between Leon Edwards and between Bala Muhammad was a war of attrition in the welterweight division because neither guy was supposed to get a title fight. They didn't want Leon. He had been unbeaten for nine years. Think about that. He had not lost a fight in nine years until he fought Kamaru Usman and beat him. They did not want to give him a title shot

through those nine years. Balamahamn, the same thing, hasn't lost in five years. They did not want to give him a title shot whatsoever. But it finally got to a point that they continued to win in their styles until it was like, all right, we have nobody else. Kolbe's out. Come on. Who's spins out.

Shaka rock Manu who's probably going to get the next title shot is a, just a buzzsaw. Who's going to be incredible. We'll see him in a little bit. But these are the two guys like these, we need to make this fight because they just keep winning and they've given us no choice. Dana is not happy that Bala Muhammad won this title. Like the boring winner. Yes, he's boring winners division. He was training with Khabib. You knew how this fight was going to go.

I'm going to get him on the ground. I'm going to try to put him in a rear naked choke for 4 and 1 1.5 minutes. With that, Dana's like, damn, now I have a champion who is going to try and wrestle everybody. And that's going to be boring. Because if he wins and he's successful at that, then I got another wrestling champion.

But he looked good on his feet against my boy. He did. He outstruck him. Right. He outstruck my boy. He totally closed off the octagon. Exactly, so I think, like you said, put an exciting fighter against Balau with wrestling skills, I think that fighter would be more shh.

I wouldn't mind seeing Edwards get another shot at it, because it seemed in his own, like, in round five, even though he was the much lesser fighter on the night, he kind of figured out what he had to do in round five. and he's a guy that we've seen in the Usman fight in Particular pull a win very late once he realizes. Oh, I finally figured this guy out. You just waited way too long again They got one of those two guys that they didn't want out now. They're not giving him an immediate rematch I think Dana said as much I think Shavkat Rachman is the next guy up because he has that wrestling Acumen and and his ability on the ground, but he's also a buzzsaw on his feet. So I think that's the next

fight to make in welterweight. I mean, he was trying to offset the main event by putting heavyweight power on the card too. And just, it wasn't, it was a knockout, but it wasn't a sensational knockout. One knockout is all you need. One moment from each card is all you need to make all those negative feelings go away and you just didn't get it this time. Stugatz, I want to show you a couple of things here because I don't believe that we have had a music phenomenon that is quite like Taylor Swift is. It makes you emotional. In the modern age, I have something stuck in my throat. I thought you were talking about Gojira. It is amazing what she's doing, I mean.

This is crazy. If you think you're popular, this is a good reality check for anyone out there with a following. If you think you're popular, you're not. A German stadium, a stadium in Munich, is filled for her concert. And then far enough away to not be able to hear that concert very well or see anything at all,

there's also a sea of people. On a hill, like just hundreds, like how many thousands of people you think are on this hill? Like this looks like 50,000 people outside of the stadium. You're saying they just- I have a better idea if they shot it in landscape. Right, that's a good point. But you're saying they just wanna be close to the action,

they can't hear, there's no speakers set up, there's nothing out there. No, they can hear, they can faintly hear it. It's a concert, but you're saying they just want to be close to the action. They can't hear there's no speaker set up There's nothing out there. They can hear it. They can faintly hear it's a concert, but you can't hear it It's not you can't hear it well And you can't see much of anything and this happens to her all over all over the world where outside Look at that people can't get in and they're just thrilled to get it to be able to be outside now Let's you know what I realize like it is way too hot down here in Miami. We would never do that. We could never.

We'd melt. It must be so nice out there. They're enjoying them. They just want to be outside near the action because their balls aren't melting. Right now it's 80 degrees in Munich. Look at all the fans that came to see Britney Spears. Mommy, beautiful. Come on, do the thing.

The guy is the guy. Not a lot of balls I saw there. I saw a lot of women there. It's hot as balls for women, too. Is it? Yeah, that one transcends. That's the LeBittard show. I don't understand that expression.

I've never understood that expression. You don't understand it? Your balls never get hot? I do, but I don't. I think I've heard Jess say, I'm sweating my balls off. It's just a saying. Put it on the poll at LeBittard show. Is it hot as balls for women as well? Now let's juxtapose Taylor Swift against the

SeaWorld concert series involving Soldier Boy. Who else is here at the SeaWorld? Bow Wow I believe. I believe this is Bow Wow and Soldier Boy performing where Shamu used to perform. That was a question you were asking because you don't know if Shamu is around anymore. This is less exciting. The SeaWorld Summer Concert Series feels like something not unlike what the Marlins... Hey, this seems like a pretty good party. I know which one I'd rather be at. This is great. So.

Joe Boy. Hey, look at him. Yo.
