I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The volume. Guys, we just wrapped UFC 314 from Miami. This boy Miles is getting out of control, man. Most solid resigns to Liverpool, and this dude is starting to act crazy again. Boy, what a big night from Miami, Florida. Let's start with Alexander Volcanovsky.

Obviously, he is once again the featherweight champion of the world. I mean, this guy, this guy, thank you, bro. Thank you, boys. Thank you, boys. Yes. Hey, uh, Alexander Volcanowski turned back the clock. Alexander Volcanowski made history on so many different levels tonight. One, he was the first fighter over 35 at 155, or by.

to become a world champion again. He got the job done. Alexander Volcanowski truly is amazing. Was able to win a fight by decision and really did dominate the fight. Hold on a second. Come here, boy.

Come here. Congratulations, kid. Look at this. Guys, look, Aaron Pico just showed up. How's it going? The brand new signing. You're excited, man? I'm really excited.

Yeah. I got my work cut out for me. Congratulations, man. Long time coming. That's good. You like the fight? I did. It was tremendous.

Yeah. What a night. All right, champ, I'll see you soon. Thank you, buddy. Thank you. Back to Alexander Volcanov. So, Volk did an amazing job. Controlling the fight against Diego Lopez,

managing all the risk, all the dangers that comes with fighting someone at that level. You know, Alexander Volkanowski had so many. questions to answer as he went into the octagon tonight. Could he take the punches of Lopez? How would he recover after losing the last three fights? How would he recover after being knocked out in the last two fights? There were so many questions and so many things stacked against this man. And once again, he was able to not only overcome, I thought that he fought a vintage fight.

And there was some, oh, you're being favoritism to Volk and da-da-da. I thought it was a pretty easy fight to score. I thought it was four-to-one Volcanowski. I thought that Lopez won round four in that fight. Outside of that, I thought Alexander Volcanowski was pretty dominant in the fight. You know, he said adversity is a privilege. To me, that is so true and telling and speaks to how special he is. Because I'm sure there were some really dark nights for Alexander Bokanowski.

When he was away, right, a year, he got knocked out. He doesn't know when he's going to fight again. And then when he started to get that itch, like he said in the interview earlier in the week, he didn't get the call. Well, he finally got the call tonight and he got the job done against Diego Lopez. Lopez to his credit, I think his machismo and his toughness got a little bit the best of him. Because in the exchanges, Volk would hit him and he would say, okay, let's go and want to fight more, but he wasn't moving his head.

So while he wasn't moving his head, Alexander Volcanowski was scoring. He was scoring. And ultimately that's a real problem. And I think that did cost Diego Lopez, but he fought five rounds. He fought five rounds effectively. I thought he showed a lot of heart, a lot of will and determination. And I think the questions, is he a five-round fighter? Is he a main event guy was answered and answered great by Diego Lopez?

So I don't know that he has much to hang his head over, especially considering he's only been in the UFC for a little less than two years. Co-main event, Patty Pimbley fought Michael Chandler. Guys, I got to get my water. It's been a super long day here. God, Patty Pimlet is actually really good. You know, every time we get one of these European guys that come to the UFC

and they have all this hype that comes with them, we as Americans, we almost wait for them to get humbled. We almost know that there will be a time where they get in over their head and they won't be able to handle whatever is sent in their direction. We thought it was going to be King Green. He submits him in a round after hurting him with a punch. Tonight was supposed to be the night that he would have the toughest challenge of his career in Michael Chandler.

Not only was it not the toughest challenge of his career, I would say it was his best performance and his most convincing win in the UFC. So many people hold on to the Jared Gordon. fight and say, well, if Jared Gordon can fight him in the way that he did, I know I can beat Patty Pimbley, but he keeps him proven. He's big for the weight class. He has super high level grappling. His striking, now this is where I think people get confused. Connor McGregor was the last guy we had that had this type of hype when he got here. But Connor McGregor looked like a finished product. Patty Pimbley at times, hangs his chin up in the

when he throws punches. Patty Pimlet may back up and throw at the same time. Patty Pimbley Pimlet doesn't look like he is as refined as Cona McGregor was, so he may not seem as ready, but that's false. It works for him. All those punches, he's now pressuring guys, and his confidence is raising more and more, and that only makes him more dangerous. He was able to take Chandler down, He was able to beat him up in the grappling. And he honestly won the striking against Michael Chandler. I find it hard to find moments where Michael had much success in that fight. And that said, we spoke about not being able to lose to the next generation of guy.

Not only did he lose to the next generation of guy, he got dominated about the next generation of guy. And that's very telling him for Michael Chandler. knee that landed split Mike open so bad. It's hard to watch when a guy you consider a friend starts to get, it gets beat up in that way. So hats off to Mike for his courage and hopefully he recovers very quickly. Yeah Air Rodriguez beat Patricky Pitbull. You know, Yahair Rodriguez is one of the best feather weights to run.

He has been for a long time. I think pit bull started way too slow. And he fought Yaira at kick range. And ultimately that cost him. He may be better the next time he steps to the octagon, but I did not think that we saw the best, Patricio Pitbull tonight. I think he can be a lot better.

John Silver, Bryce Mitchell had a lot of bad blood on it. But John Silver fought amazing. Yo, this guy really is a problem. His striking, his confidence. I said to Rogan and those guys, when you walked back down, how do they have that much fun going into a fight? Granted, I love my job and I love fighting. I never felt that happy when it was time to compete.

I liked it, but I was never smiling like John Silva. I was never barking like John Silva. John Silva is really having the time of his life when he gets the opportunity to fight. And tonight he submits Bryce Mitchell. And honestly, he just kind of dominated. A lot of bad blood. you talk to talk like he did, you got to back it up. And John Silver backed it up.

Dominic Reyes, congratulations, man, you are back. Knocks out Nikita Krilloff in the very first round. Dan Igay, with a stoppage victory over, uh, uh, what's, uh, Woodson's, uh, Woodson's first name. Uh, Danigay got a victory over Sean Woodson. Danigay got a stoppage victory. It was a horrible stoppage. Granted, I thought Sean Woodson might have been winning the fight or was very close.

Come to find out, the judges had it all for Dan Ege. So even though the stoppage may not have affected the result as much, it still was a really, really bad stoppage. These guys got to do a little better, especially when we saw one earlier, where we saw a guy take far too many strikes before they stopped him. Chase Hoopwood another victory, Vina Janjadova, Julian de Rosa. but Darren Elkins, I think, needs to walk away from the game. All of Shazek finishes his drink is Dumas, Asoumadarji, with a victory.

Tulio and Gore was tremendous. That was probably my favorite fight of the night. Once again, Miami delivers. UFC 314 was a fantastic fight card. I am so blessed and lucky to be able to do this for a job. Congratulations to Alexander Volcanowski and once again becoming the UFC Featherweight champion. And guys, thank you for support me. Hey, Miami was great.

It's time to go home. Back to Cali, I go, and I could not be happy. So until next time, guys, like, subscribe, tell your friend to tell their friends that D.C.'s got a YouTube channel. And I'm doing stuff like this. I mean, Octagon side. Nobody else is giving it to you like that.
