They're in your corner with unlimited 5G data that will not slow you down. What's up, guys? UFC 320 just wrap and what a night from the team over the arena as look at Miles.
Starting point is 00:04:24 My boy, Miles in the back. Hey, living good as he can when Liverpool is just crap in the bed right now. Go Arsenal. But guys, what a night. from T-Mobile. Alex Predator is once again the UFC champion. And guys, it was not competitive. There was no drama. There was nothing of, like, nothing of consequence happened outside of Alex Praneda
Starting point is 00:04:49 making a decision. All week, even going to the second this week, he said he was not himself in fight number one. And most fighters say stuff like that. Tonight he proved that he was telling the truth, and he wasn't himself in fight number one. The fight starts, and a lot was made of how Magumann Ancolaev was able to back Pada up in fight number one, make him focus so much on defending takedowns that he wasn't able to get his offense going.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Well, tonight you could tell Pareda made a choice that he was not going to back up. He came to the middle like he was shot out of a cannon and immediately attacked Anclyev. Leg kick, leg kick, leg kick, got Ancolaev against the octagon. on side, hits him with a nasty overhand right, puts him down. Uncle Iev goes down 12 to six elbows. He landed some of the nastiest. 12 to six elbows I have ever seen in grounded upon by anyone that allowed for him to get the finish.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Uncle I of wasn't going anywhere. You could tell that with the aggressiveness that Pereda was showing, with the emphasis and the impact, he was landing. those shots with it was only a matter of time to do what he did against magumont uncle is so impressive because of how good uncle i have is there are so many cliches the younger guy wins the rematch as you get older you're not as good especially whenever you're fighting a guy that became the champion who's supposed to be better in the rematch especially if he's younger perera takes he doesn't pay any attention to that type of stuff but he doesn't pay any of attention to that type of
Starting point is 00:06:34 up. He's just a special type of talent, a special type of guy. I mean, this guy's had 12 UFC fights down. Nine of them have been for UFC championship. He's still less than four years on the UFC roster. He's a
Starting point is 00:06:50 sure-fire Hall of Famer. He has one belts three times. And I think the most important factor about how dominant he is and how daunting a task it is to fight him is listening to with potential next challengers, Carlos Olbert and Yuri Prohaska.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Yuri Prohaska told Megan Olivi, maybe you don't believe me, but I'll find a way to fight him. I'll find a way to beat him. Carlos Alberg almost tried to tell him he needed to go up to heavyweight. Carlos, that I'll fight anybody. Make no mistake about it. These guys are afraid of Alex Panetta, but it is a very hard battle that they are facing when they fight him because this dude is the real deal and he seems to be this break right this seven months that he's been off which he's never had in this career before it refreshed him he must have got
Starting point is 00:07:51 healthy he had time to improve but he looked like that crazy dangerous guy that we saw on a couple of occasions whenever he was uh whenever he was defending his championships on multiple occasions. He's special, man. He really, really is special. And what a guy and what a person, what a performance. Mega Man, Uncle I, is going to have to go home and answer some questions about himself.
Starting point is 00:08:21 What does he have to do if he gets himself back to this opportunity? Because he will, right? Most guys can't deal with Uncleaya. So he's going to have to figure out what he needs to do to try to change that. Because after what happened tonight, I think Padena, we're trying to fight him in the same way. In the co-main event, Marab Du Wallace Vili once again defended his Bannamway championship.
Starting point is 00:08:44 And he did it, and it was so impressive because Corey Sanhagen fought a wonderful fight. Corey Sanhagen and his team should be proud because the preparation that they did for him, the shape they got in, the wrestling defense, everything was on point. But the job that John Wood has done with Marab Duolish really, is I tip my hat off to him every time I see him because his stand-up's gotten better and when you're that dangerous in wrestling, you have that level of cardio
Starting point is 00:09:16 when you start adding all those other things, you become a real problem for everyone in your division. And Marab right now is just the biggest problem that any division in a long time has ever seen. His pace, pressure, cardio, he just won't be deterred. You know, I'm not blowing smoke when I say Corey Sanagan fought what possibly was a perfect fight. I mean, Rogan hit the nail on the head when he said that.
Starting point is 00:09:45 He goes, Corey fought the best fight he could have possibly fought. And even though he did that, he got beat four rounds to one across the board. Four rounds to one across the board. Maraba was finished him in the second round with his hands. And he wants to fight again in December. say let him fight again because we've never seen a person defend the championship four times in a calendar year let him let him he's closing in on Anderson silver's record of 16 straight fights win in the UFC nobody's done that his win streak could get the 16 fights he's up there
Starting point is 00:10:26 with Islam macha for a win streak where abdu al-zraeli is very very special I got to tell you I think Umar to Megamatoff is probably the one guy that can challenge it. We saw them fight. It was 48, 47 across the board. Everyone else cannot stay with him. It's going to be very difficult for guys to figure out how to beat him because he's going to just keep hitting him with takedown. Just keeps hitting you at the hips, man.
Starting point is 00:10:52 He's a very hard challenge to prepare for. But as we were saying on the broadcast, somebody always shows, no matter how dominant you are, no matter how good you are, Every champion eventually runs it to someone that could compete with. Yerip Horatka and Khalil Rangri was everything we expected it to be. So hats up to the champ Morav and his team and everybody else. Ray Longo, what a guy, man. He's amazing.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Kalil Rontri Jr. and Yurin J.Rahadr was everything we expected it to be. It was violent. It was fun. We saw technique. We saw skills. Hart. Kalil Rontree won two rounds. The first two rounds.
Starting point is 00:11:34 and he won him pretty handling. But in that third round, Yuri Prohaska did what Yuri Prohaska does. He attacked him, pressured him. He made Yuri fight him in a dirty brawl. And when you fight Yuri Prohaska in a brawl, you don't do well. Not many people can handle Prohaska. The only person that beats him honestly is Alex Panetta. If not for Alex Prater, your prohasa may have had this belt the whole time.
Starting point is 00:12:03 He, another guy, was the UFC champion like three fights. You're his special. While he may be different, and he moves to the beat of his own drum, and he may be odd in the striking, this dude is an absolute winner, and he proves it time and time again, and tonight, he was up against it
Starting point is 00:12:23 because he was down two rounds to nothing on every judge's scorecard. In the third round, he flatlines Kalil Rauntree with a nasty right hand that puts him flat. Roundtree understood that he couldn't be in a little. brawl. But when Yuri forces that on you, you have nothing to do but respond or he's going to run you over. And sometimes even when you do respond, you get run over. Yusuf Zalau submitted Josh
Starting point is 00:12:50 Emmett in no time, guys. Josh Emmett has been around for a real long time. We have never seen him get done like Yusuf Zalaliyah did him tonight. Yusuf Zalah took him down and made it look easy. Yusufzalalal is real. And he's one of those guys that all featherweight should be paying attention to. Because so many guys... guys that victory's over Josh Emmett. None of them did it that way. He made him tap verbally. It's crazy. Joe Piper, part of wonderful fight. Congratulations to Dean Thomas and all those guys over there in Philly. Those guys are doing a great job with this kid. This kid does talk crazy at times. He's brash. He's unapologetic and maybe that rugs people the wrong way.
Starting point is 00:13:30 When he's putting performances like that tonight like he did against Abouz Magamelov, you better pay attention because he's now learned how to control his emotions in the octagon. He knows how to follow a game point. He has amazing striking and heart and big power. And then tonight he showed his grappler. Unbelievable. Joe Piper's the real deal. I'll say about Gaultier beat Treschen Bines. Guys, it was one of the weirdest knockouts I've ever seen in my life. The way Trayshon Bines fell down with Gaultier was elbowing him. And the way he hit. him was crazy. I don't think I've ever seen nothing like that. This kid's power is next level. The way you build him is you continue to give him fights with people that he can compete with
Starting point is 00:14:18 early. Let him continue to build because he's still so new, but he's exciting and he's fun, and he can knock people out. Juice on you and Daniel Santos fought a great fight. Daniel Santos missed weight by a lot, moving the fight up to a catch weight, but even if you, that fought wonderfully got a beautiful knockout hats off to daniel santos patchy mix got screwed but i will say that jacob wicklough i think his name was uh he fought a good fight for a debut i thought he lost the last two rounds or yeah i thought he lost the last two rounds but bad decisions happen man you can't leave it hands of the judges emman shabazzian got another victory now he's won three in a row pooled la soriano was disappointed what he got a decision win
Starting point is 00:15:05 Dona Santos, yo, six of seven people in the row has lost weight against Gianna Santos, and she's fought them all, and she's beaten them all. Now she's in the top five. Congrats to Yana. Fired Bostarot, biggest fight of his career, got a double against Chris Gutierrez. From Ms. Briahimae, this is moving to Chicago.
Starting point is 00:15:21 He's the real deal, beat Austin Vanderford by submission. And Veronica Hardy, not another victory. Guys, it's now time for my total wireless performance of the night, and that, and my performance fighter of the night is, none other than the champion, Alex Panetta. I was almost certain this will go to Yuri after that fight against Khalil Roundtree. But there is no denying that we watch absolute greatness tonight with the new champion again. So my total wireless performance of the night goes to none other than the new champion once again Alex Pareta for a beautiful performance.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Hey, they told them it was going to be no chama. It was absolutely chama tonight for the new champion Alex Prater. So, guys, I can thank you for your support.
