The volume.

Guys, we're done with USC 293, and we have a new middleweight champion. It was unbelievable. I watched Sean Strickland pitch a shutout. A guy that went into the octagon, and did what most people didn't think that he could. You know, this guy, I spoke to him last week on the YouTube. You guys should check that out.

Because hearing Sean Strickland talk about his life. And hearing Sean Strickland talk about his journey, I really gained a different perspective of who he was. And I felt going into this like, wow, this is a guy that until he was an adult, he never felt love. He never been loved, right? The guy found love in a gym. He found love in a gym.

And he found strength in the wrong people as a young kid. And as most young kids will do, they make mistakes. But Sean Strickland took all those negatives, all those things that really did dictate his life early on. And he used those things to propel him into the UFC middleweight champion. All those hardships allowed for Sean Strickland. to do the unthinkable, because people did not believe that he could win. And I'm going to be honest with you.

I didn't. I'm not allowed to pick the fight before. But if you would have asked me if I thought Charles Strickland was going to win, I thought there was no chance. I thought that his style, because he needs to pressure, was ultimately going to lead to him falling into something. One of the tribes that Edezania said so masterfully. And Miles is dancing behind me as he breaks down the desk.

Guys. He never fell into a trap. He was on the gas the entire time. He was in Israel's face. He dropped him in round one. Mark Goddard never been stepped in to think about stopping the fight and hats off to him. Because he could have stopped that fight and Edisanya was okay. But even in that, even after that, Sean Strickland, after round two, he watched, lost that round.

And the only reason he lost that round was because he didn't do it. do enough. He just didn't do nothing. So Edassania won that one. But from round three on, Sean Strickman was right back in his face, popping him with the jab. And every time he landed, it seemed like he was hurting Izzy. I've never seen Izzy look so confused in one of his title fights. He told Coach Eugene, I can't get to my jab. And I think because he couldn't get to with Jeb, it really did mess with his entire game. He was drawing Strickland in, and we have seen Izzy do that a number of times, but we have never seen him have to do that the entirety of the fight.

Sean Strickland was unwilling to allow for Israel to sign you to dictate to him at all over the course of this fight. And I believe ultimately that is what led him to the victory. He was in front of him. It was the jab. It was the right hand sometimes. And it was really his presence, his presence, his ability to show Izzy, I'm the man in here tonight. And if I'm being completely honest, I don't feel like Edisonia look as much like himself as we're used to. And I believe that's partly due to the intense schedule that he keeps.

I mean, this guy is constantly fighting. And while that is to be commended, there comes a point. where you can't do that when you're fighting the best guys in the world. He did it time and time again. And tonight, he was in there with a guy that had nothing to lose. Hats up to Eric Nitzik. He told me, we have a game plan for this guy. It's going to work and it's going to be effective.

And you always take what a coach says with a grain of soul. But this dude, when I walked into the Akron, said we did it. We absolutely did it. I told Dana, Izzy better be hoping for a bad decision. because there is no way that he wins this fight any other way, and the judges got it right. We are always on the judges for getting it wrong. They got it right this time,

and I believe that Sean Strickland won four rounds to one over one of the greatest middle weights of all time. Before I get into what's next for Israel, Adasanya, and Sean Strickland, we got to pay some bills. What's up, guys? I'm Daniel Cormier. The fall season is right around the corner.

Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. I mentioned Adisanya didn't look as good. I feel like he was tired. And that is why I will not be politicking for him to get a title fight again. I don't think that Izzy should fight for the belt next. I think Izzy should take some time.

should rest, let the division shake out a little bit, and then come back. Because that constant desire to be up for these level of fights, it's too much, and nobody can keep that. You can't fight the most dangerous best fighters in the world three times a year, year after year after year. He has now lost two of his last three fights. Granted, they're all title fights. He had fought 11 them in the row. He needs to take a break from this thing. Rest in the first. the spoils of his greatness and then come back when he's refreshed because he looked a little bit behind the eight ball tonight and most of that was due to Sean Strickland just being an absolute dog tonight and there are a lot of people that don't like Sean Strickland but all week he received

some of the biggest applause in all of the situations all week he was greeted with love by all the fans in Australia I thought he looked a little nervous walking to the octagon I think that was just him being a man on a mission. Sean Strickland just fought the perfect fight. And I anticipated talking about other people from the fight card that was. It was a great fight card. But this video belongs to the new champion in the world. This guy did The Impossible.

And this is one of the greatest upsets in UFC history because of not only the champion, because of the person that did it. Sean Strickland fought Alex Baheda as a number four-rate guy when nobody else will do it. He lost, but he got right back on the horse. Then he fought Jared Cannonier. He lost, but he never let it deter him. Fights a mob off, fights another guy, finds himself for this opportunity, with short time to prepare and gets the job done.

Hey, you all know who Sean Strickland is. He doesn't hide from his past. But what you have to understand, go back to that interview, like I said earlier. He's much different today than he was before. In terms of what's next, I think Drake is Duplice earns his title shot. I think it deserves the opportunity to fight for the belt. He was supposed to be here tonight. Could you imagine Dracus right now kicking himself by not being here to fight at Asana?

Crazy. I feel like he gets a title fight. The only way he doesn't get that title fight is if by some way Hamzaa Tchamai of just starches Polo Kost and the world starts to go crazy begging for Paul O'Costa, or sorry, for Hamzat Jemayev to get an opportunity to fight for the belt. This division starts a new. Every time one of these long-reigning champions loses their belt, we get to start over. That's exactly what we get tonight.

And if you watch Sean Strickland fight, you know that you have a very dangerous champion. At middle weight now. So to wrap things up, Sean Strickland, Drake is Duplese, or Hamzaa. If I'm going to sign you take a step back, rest and recover champ, you have earned it. But boy, we have the greatest job in the world. The UFC is an MMA is like nothing else in the world. Because every time you think you've got it figured out, something happens, and then you're sitting there with your jaw on the floor.

That's why I'm so blessed to be able to come to you after these events. To sit next to this octagon for these great moments, unreal. And for Sean Strickland and his family is his team, congratulations, You earned it. There are so many people right now that are celebrating your victory. And do you doing something that you never thought you could? And nobody did. This is a kid that was not expected to be.

He believed in himself and the people around them did also. And tonight they achieved greatness. Guys, UFC 293 was a great event. There was a little bit of crazy shit going on with some of the bad words. These guys were used on the microphone. I'm pulling microphones from them. I'm telling dudes to chill. I mean, they're putting me in a bad situation.

But outside of that, we saw some tremendous performances across the board. What a fun night from Sydney. What a great fight town. Wow. People are crazy here about mixed martial arts. I love each and everyone. Thank you for always supporting me. Until next time, guys, like, subscribe, and tell your friends,

tell one of their friends that D.C.'s got a YouTube channel. See you next time. Peace.

For 1979, that was a big moment for me. big to me. I'm Sam Jay and I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it with our friends,

fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app,
