Notte UFC was a unbelievable success. What a fantastic night from the T-Mobile Arena. I spoke to so many people just text messages over the course of the night. People were blown away with the atmosphere. It was, honestly, pay-per-view level. From the fighting to the crowd, it didn't feel any different to me. I felt like I was at a number of event. It was that good.

The Mexican fans really showed out tonight. Guys, they had these jerseys that say Noche UFC, as the boy Miles breaks it down again. I tried to get one three times. I went to the products department. They didn't have none. Then all of a sudden the product department says, we put more out D.C., go up there.

They didn't want to give me nothing free. By the time we got up there to get one of the jerseys, they were sold out again. The pride in this building tonight was crazy and all the Mexican fighters felt it. This fight car was built around Mexican Independence Day and, you know, Alexa Grasso is from Guadalajara, Halisco, Canelo Alvarez is from there. And generally, one of those big-time boxers headlines this weekend in Las Vegas. And honestly, the UFC feels like it should be headlining this weekend every single year. because this place was on fire.

By the time we got to the main event, nuts. Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shepchenko put on an absolute classic. Two women fighting at the top of their division in really setting the standard for what female mixed martial arts is and can be down the line. If women aren't proven to this level right now, I can't wait for what happens three, five years down the road. Valentina came out with a different game plan this week.

All week she said she was mad. She was angry. She intended to dominate. She fought like she thought that she could do that. She fought behind a beautiful jab. She fought behind beautiful combination bunch and once again, she showed that she can control Alexa Grasso on the ground. She showed that she has that ability to be able to not only,

take Grasso down, but hold it down in spots. Because I think what really dictated the fight as it went longer was Rassel's ability to get up once she got taken down. She would get taken down. She would get right back to her feet. Round one, I thought Valentina fought beautifully. She won the round behind her striking. She got to take down late and controlled it.

Round two, Alexa Grasso fought really, really well. She dropped Valentina Chef Chico. Now, Valentina took her down, took her down, and she was able to control her, but not do much damage. So they still scored the round four, Alexa Grasso, which made me feel good about the judging, because it made me feel like they got it right, right? Regardless of her getting taken down, they put the onus on the damage and the control that Alexa Grasso had round two, right? Round three. Valentina goes back to the wrestling. She controls round three with the rest of round four. Two judges scored it for Valentina. One scored it for Alexa Grasso. I myself had the round for Alexa Grasso. Why? Because she was able to land those good knees, got to take down, landed some ground and pound. Now, Valentina was fighting very well to start that round. But then Alexa Grasso fought our way back into there. And only one judge gave it to her. Canidro, I think her name. name is Junichiro Canidro gave the round to Alexa Grasso round four.

I thought she won that round. Round five is where things get a little crazy. Round five is where shit gets crazy. Mike Bell scores the fifth round for Alexa Grasso. Let's be honest. The start of round five was Alexa Grasso's round. She was winning that round. And then she gets taken down at the end of the round.

with about two minutes ago, and sure, she gets dominated. She got beat, ground in pounds, some submission attempts, and she handling lost that round. Handily lost that round. I get in the octagon. I'm waiting to interview whoever won. Because remember, if I'm scoring the fight in my mind, I think that Alexa Grasso is going to retain.

But I get something, it's a draw. Anytime guys Bruce Buffer takes a while to come back into the octon, you should get worried. Because it doesn't take that long for the scorecards to come in. So I started to get a little worried when it took Bruce a while to get into the octagon. It's a draw. And it felt to me like Mike Bell, I don't know when he could have watched to score that fifth round, a 10-8 for Alexa Grasso. Now, he won the round. No doubt about it, she won the round.

but a 10-8 is just, it is honestly one of the worst scorecards that I've seen in a really long time. And think about how an event can leave you feeling so, like, weird, especially on a night when you saw Edgar Chavez and Daniel Lasserta called a no contest or no decision because an official made a call. where he jumped in a little too early. And honestly, I like Chris Tanyone. He's a wrestling coach. And he asked him inside the oxygen, what did you guys think?

I said, in his face, I said, I thought you made a mistake. I said, you got to wait. He goes, well, I grabbed his arm a couple times. And the third time, it kind of dropped. I go, I understand everything's moving fast. You're working in real time. But I thought he made a mistake. So from Mike Bell's judging that 10-8, absurd,

Tanioni made a mistake on that call. But it wasn't as egregious as the Mikeville scorecard to score that tenet. Literally, people were astounded at that scorecard. And honestly, the crowd reacted in a way where they thought that their champion lost. But then they announced the Ann Stills and everything felt like they kind of went back to celebrate. Got to run it back. We got to have these two women fight again. And I feel like every time we match them up, we are in line for a tremendous fight between these two.

In the co-main event, Jack Delam Adelaidellana fought Kevin Holland, and he won a split decision. It was the biggest fight of Delam Adelaan's career, and he stepped up to the challenge against Kevin Holland, who fought a good fight himself. And I don't know if anyone would be upset regardless of who won the fight. But it doesn't feel like anybody got robbed with Jack Delamadena winning the fight. He was very responsible with his defenses, and he landed good shots. Kevin Holland also had his moments. Raul Roses Jr. came back from the first time he ever lost his career and had one of the greatest performances. He destroyed Terrence Mitchell.

And it was phenomenal to see because you never know how a kid at 18 years old will respond. With that being said, I feel like I didn't do him justice by bringing up the loss as the first question. I feel like I should have led with something better opposed to how he got over the adversity. For me, I've dealt with a ton of adversity. So I want to know that, but in reality, I should have been in there to uplift Raul Roussa Jr. I shouldn't have brought up his losses. So for that, my bad, I shouldn't have done it. My apologies to Rau.

He fought beautifully tonight. What a tremendous performance by that young man. And it shows that regardless of age, you can get back on the horse and correct things. And now it feels like once again, it's all systems goal for Raul Roses, We saw Lupe's O'Donis as the best performance of his career. We saw Roman Coppulov once again knock somebody out. This guy's now knocked four guys out in a row in the middleweight division. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged.

It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

You know, she has gone through a lot over the course of the last year, personally and professionally. We spoke to her in the fighter meeting and she was crying. because it took her, it was such a hard road for her to get back. She fought in a war tonight against Jasmine Jazz DeVizzias, and she got the job done. So overall, guys, a great night of fights from the apex. No-J UFC was a tremendous success,

and I hope this becomes a yearly thing, because the UFC fans deserve it. What an atmosphere. We got to show my boy, Kane Velasquez, winning the UFC championship, and really becoming the first Mexican champion. He wasn't Mexican born, but he was the first Mexican champion,

a first generation Mexican superstar. Brandon Moreno joined. It was just a fantastic night to celebrate a historical weekend for the UFC and for Mexico. That's it for me. I got a couple weekends off. I hope you miss me. I hope you miss me.
