UFC 307 is in the books and what a fight night from Salt Lake City. I mean, Alex Poetan Pereira retains Giuliana Pena becomes Ann New again and so many other great contests from the fight. Guys, Salt Lake City has now become one of the best cities to come and call fights in. I love this city because the fans come out early. They stay the whole time and the fighters deliver it. The circumstances you have to fight under here are very difficult because of the altitude, it's exhausting when you're in there. People are fired up.

The energy is different. But the fighters have time and time again shown why the UFC is the UFC. Let's start with Alex Pereira. Going into this fight, so many people thought Kalil Rangri Jr. rank number eight in the world had no chance. Very, very early, that was proven different. friend. Kalil Rountree Jr. started this fight very good. He was actually winning on all the judge's scorecards. He was up two rounds to one going into round four. He fought well. But Alex Pereira literally made one of the best adjustments in fight that I've seen. You could see

that he initially thought what everybody thought. This will be a little easier. This is one of those nights where I'm going to knock him out. And why wouldn't he? He had knocked out former champion, Yerra Proshka, he had knocked out former champion Jamal Hill. He had beaten so many great fighters and done it so impressively that when you're fighting the number eight-ranked guy in the world, why wouldn't you expect the same thing to happen? That's exactly what Pereira did. He expected the same thing to happen early, but it didn't. So what did he do? He slowed everything down. He slowed it all down and he took his time. He went back to his low calf kicks on the opposite side. He got more responsible with his defenses because early in the fight, he got hit

by Round Tree. He got dropped almost by Round Tree off a head kick that he missed. But he settled himself. Took his time. By the way, I didn't think he lost wrong one. I thought Pereira should have been up two to one. But the judging here tonight was not A plus. These people were fucking up. It was unbelievable to see some of the scorecards that these judges had tonight. But again, back to Pereira. He slows everything down. He goes back to fighting as if he's in a high-level glory kickboxing match. You could see the shift. You could see him change right away. And it paid dividends. Kalil Rontree Jr. was out there like a guy that overcame extreme circumstances, had a tough upbringing, almost died on his couch. He looked like he was ready to do. He looked like he was

to die inside that octagon tonight. Pereira had to show him the way out. And it wasn't easy. He heard him very bad in round three. But in round four, he strategically broke him down. And when he hit him with that body shot, body shot, body shot, uppercut,

roundtree goes down, fight is over. I mean, the cut, Khalil had a cut, whole eye was split over on the right side. cut underneath, split open on top, cut on the left eye, all from jabs. Jabs! He was jabbing him in putting that much damage on Khalil Roundtree Jr.

It was a tremendous performance by Alex Poetan Pereira, and that is why, honestly, he's the biggest star we have in the UFC. The fans love him. They love him and rightfully so. The guy competes. shows up and he just defended the belt for the third time in seven months. Today he broke Ron the Rousey's record for the shortest turnaround in terms of title fights and he always does it so impressively. What a champion Alex Poetown-Perer is. Hats off to Kalil Rondtree Jr., man. He left it

all out there. He should be proud of himself. Many thought ranked eight, he didn't deserve a title fight. I think tonight he showed he deserved to be in there with one of the best fighters in the world. Perre's making a boatload of money right now and rightfully so he's a champion that's available. He's a champion that steps up and he's a champion that when you put him on the card, he performs. So hats off to that entire team. I'm going to go back and talk to Glover and them at the end of the fight him in Plinyo get some words on what they thought of their prize pupil. In the co-mainte, Julianna Pena became the world champion again tonight. I thought that she lost to fight. I will be honest. But I need to go back and watch round one. I thought Raquel won round four

and five pretty convincingly, but Juliana did have moments in round five, but I thought it all came down to round one. I will go back and rewatch that to see what I remember though. It was a very, very slow round. So, and if I do watch in Julianna one, I will eat my words. But that's on Raquel Pennington also. You can't fight such a slow pace so early. tore around that hardly anything was done. Caust you your world championship. She fought well down the stretch, but she didn't fight very well early. You guys see the boy Miles again.

Stupid-ass Liverpool shirt, man. Take that shit off around me. Oh, everybody getting on camera tonight. Good fight, though. Much better. Raquel Pennington had her hurt bad in round four. Juliana recovered showed her grittiness, showed her toughness.

The one thing you could never question about Julianna Pena's or toughness is she will be a deserving champion. I will say this. She dropped the ball on the call-out. I mean, Kayla's on the screen. Say her name. Why no-sell the person that is clearly going to be your number one contender? There is no world where she does not fight Kayla Harrison.

She's fighting her next. You might as well put the cell on it. Right now, don't wait until the, the fight is announced. Now you're a step behind when you had the opportunity to be a step ahead going into your fight with Kayla Harrison, who will be the number one contender for your championship as we go forward. And tonight's not like Kayla Harrison looked the best. Kayla's look better. Tonight she looked like a girl that needs to get takedowns. And if she doesn't, she is still in the very early stages of her striking. So Juliana Pena should have

after this performance been more willing to say her name. But at the end of the day, she becomes a champion again. And Mike Valley and his team out at Valley Flow now have two UFC champions on their roster. Massive for a gym out of Chicago that isn't a massive, huge gym. So great job, guys, congratulations. Congratulations, Juliana, on once again, conquering the world and becoming a world champion exactly like you said you were going to do. Mario Batista and Jose Al do went to his split decision. Mario Batista just clenched him. I get it. It might not be fan-friendly. You might not like the way the fight played out, but it was right. Guys, controlling the octagon is a form of criteria. Josie Aldo had a few bursts in the third round where he did damage, but

Not enough. You got to sustain some damage. You can't let a guy hold you along the octagon side, the entirety of that round, and expect to get a decision by some judges that honestly did not do a great job tonight. There wasn't great judging tonight inside of the arena in Salt Lake City. And I think that's probably the only bad thing I can say about this entire event. But Jose Aldo just seemed a little bit willing to let him hold in him. I think cardio played a part,

and I think he might have been a little bit fatigue, but it is what it is. Roman Deleads A-1, Kevin Howland heard himself. When he twisted, it looked like he might have popped the rib. That is probably the most painful thing you could do inside of fighting. I am glad that his coach called off the fight and did not let the fighter have to say, I can't do it no more.

You always protect your fighter. The one thing fighters have is toughness. Don't make them seem as though they choose the exit side. Don't do that to them. Kayla Harrison beat Kettlin Vieira, but it wasn't the best performance of her career. She didn't look great. And that showed Ketland Vieira is number two in the world for a reason. She's good.

And it showed tonight side to fight. But at the end of the day, Kayla Harrison got it done, and she is not a rightful number one contender. I don't care that Juliana doesn't think that she doesn't deserve it. She will fight for the championship belt. Next. Joaquin Buckley, congratulations. That was beautiful. To knock on one, the boy Thompson is very difficult to be behind and go and get that done is a big deal.

Congratulations, man. You did exactly what you said you were going to do. Yasmin Lucindo, Alexander Hernandez, Cesar Elmada, Ryan Span, Tisha Pennington, and Cort McGee. Congratulations to all of you. You guys all made for another fantastic night from Salt Lake City. Guys, at the end of the day, the night belongs once again to Alex Boiton Pereira. The best fighter at 205, and one of the best fighters pound for pound in the world. To have skills like that, crazy.

Joe Rogan said that when he talked to Mark Goddard, Mark Goddard said it's ungodly watching him hit people and hearing the sounds that it made. You don't hear that very often from one of the best referees in the world. He's a different guy. He is a different guy. And it shows every time he's in the Octagon. Congratulations, Bolton. Guys, like I said, I will never take your support for granted.

I love each and every one of you. I thank you guys time and time again for giving me the opportunity to do this for you and giving me the opportunity to live the life that I live. I will never take you guys for granted. I appreciate each and everyone. Until next time, guys, like, subscribe, tell your friends, to tell their friends, DC's got a YouTube channel and I'm giving you guys this type of access.

You ever wonder what happens after the UFC is this. VIPs get the opportunity to go inside the octagon and take pictures and do all those types of things. Or you can be a friend of mine and when you're a friend of mine, I take people in there too. But that's exactly what happens. Look, they take pictures inside the ocean.

Guys, UFC 307 was amazing. Until next time, go Arsenal and thank you guys for the support. I appreciate you. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite.
