All right, guys, so we just wrapped UFC Vancouver. It was a crazy night. I mean, it was one of those nights that we never could have, we never could have expected to see what we saw. I got to be honest, man. I know Brendan Allen is a phenomenal fighter. I know he's the best, Miles, get my jacket off. That thing barely coming off. Miles hooked me up today.

Hey, I know Brennan Allen is a phenomenal fighter. And I know that he's special in so many ways. what I did not expect was for him to do what he did to Ryan and Derrida. Let me show you guys what I deal with every time we do this. Watch them. Hey, these guys yell at me. They yell at me, scream at me. One guy just told me he kicks my ass every single day.

It's what happens. Constant when I'm trying to make these videos. So I want you guys to know what I go through to bring these to you right next to the Octagon. I didn't expect Ryan DeRitter to break. in the way that he did. Brennan Allen told us that he was going to go out there and he was gonna break RDR. But after watching the Ritter,

fight Robert Woodacre in the way that he did, watching him and beat Boonecker in the way that he did, watching what he did in one of the FAC all those years to becoming the world champion in multiple away classes, you just did not expect for what happened. Brennan Allen started very quickly once he got on top. RDR was able to control him in round one.

When you're fresh, you can take the back, you can control, you can win. But the moment that he was able to lose position or switch position, I'm talking Brendan Allen, it was all dominance. He controlled him. He landed a ton of damage on him. And he really did a good job of taking over that fight. From round two on, it was all Brendan Allen. This got weighed 222 pounds a month ago when he threw his name in the hat to potentially fight Rainier-Daritter.

Not only did he fight right near the Ritter, he got the job done in impressive fashion. You know, it just speaks to how quickly things can change from fighters. Last year, Britten Allen lost to Imovov and he lost the Fluffy Hernandez. And he spoke about how many changes he had to make, how much you had to take a look at himself. Maybe he wasn't the guy that he thought he was. And then tonight he goes out there and he changes everything with a result following a result. because in New Orleans he breaked Marvin Vittory, who is a former world title challenger. He comes out tonight and beats Rainier de Ritter, who is a former two-devision champion in one-fc,

who had just beaten Robert Whitaker. The spectrum that this young man has been on over the course of the last year, truly is telling. And it takes a very big man to overcome those thoughts mentally, physically, and where he was in his career. 12 months ago to where he is today. So now Brendan Allen finds himself in the top five and one fight away from potentially getting a title fight. That's crazy.

And he had three call-offs tonight. He called on the champion Tchamayev to a fight. If not Tchamaiv, he said he wants to fight the former champion, Drenka's duplessi. And if not Drenka's duplice, he was asking for a rematch against Sean Strickie. You know, taking advantage of him. your opportunity. He did that in Yakton tonight and he did that in the post fight with the call

outs and having all those names ready for him whenever he had the chance to say what he wanted to do next. So hats off to Brendan Allen. It was his night. He deserves all the praise and all the credit. For Rainier de Ritter, it was very surprising that he kept taking him down and kept getting reversed and kept playing jujitsu. I mean, it's exactly what cost him. It was decisions, right? Multiple decisions, they compounded themselves to put him so far behind the eight ball

that his corner stopped the fight. He was barely able to get up after round two, three, and four. There was no way he was going to get through another five minutes. His corner did him a favor, a solid, by saying, hey, we'll give you the opportunity to live another day and fight another day. So, I know at times we're hard on coaches for not being willing to throw in the towel.

Rainier the Ritter's coaches throwing the towel tonight. They gave their guy a chance to fight another day. Kevin Holland, Mike Malott, was one of the weirdest fights I have ever seen in my entire life. It looked like Kevin couldn't fight anymore. And if he couldn't, no one could blame him. No one could blame him if he couldn't fight anymore. He got hit low multiple times and if he couldn't fight, he couldn't fight. But he continues to try.

And then our boy, Dan Murgleada had a rough night tonight, man. He was struggling because now he was earlier in the night. He was put in a very bad position in the fight with Drew Dover and Kyle Puppolet. So then when he was put in the same position with Kevin Allen and Mike Malott, he didn't necessarily want to make a decision. So we had all this time passing between Kevin Holland getting hit low to Kevin Holland using all the injury time to Kevin getting more injury time because he wasn't sure if he could continue.

Half off to Kevin for continuing, going all the way to decision. That was a weird one, man. I mean, the doctors are in the case there. we need a yes or no. The officials are telling him we need a yes or no. It was so weird. I mean, this whole night was weird.

From that to the Drew Dover thing to a another fight happened earlier with an illegal shot. It was just, it was nuts, man. It was nuts. But hats off to Mike Milad for getting the victory. And what, again, was the weirdest fight I've ever seen. Amund Zahabiaz now 17,

fights in the row and tonight he beat chido vera it's time to start really considering him uh for one of the main players in this weight class uh that lady has on that daniel premier shirt hey nice jersey that's a real nice jersey yeah that's a nice jersey uh my man thank you thank you my man uh Manon Fior showed once again why she's one of the best fighters in the world. She knocked out Jasmine Jazz Division is in no time. Guys, I don't know if I've ever been more wrong. I thought that Mano Fior was being more passive tonight, but instead she gets one of her greatest knockouts of all time.

Charles Jardin, flying knee to a guillotine. Two fights at 135, two finishes, both by guillotine. Charles Jardin is a real problem for people at 130. 35 pounds. Oh, it was the Kyle Nelson and Matt Provola fight. The fight was stopped. And then the fight wasn't stopped. Justin Gage messages me. What a shit show when that happens. I just don't know what happened. I go into the ring after, and Dan Mervley-Av goes, was it close? I said three whole seconds. He goes, oh my God. Look, I understand human error. But, man, I don't know what happened. He said, he thought he heard a bell. There was no bell. Carl Nelson still won, so it felt like the right guy still won, but he got robbed of a finish. He should have got a finish. Drew Dober, Carl Perpollet, kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. I mean, Perpillet gets hit low.

He's severely compromised, and it wasn't intentional. Drew Dover is not a bad guy, but he severely compromised. A point gets taken away, sure, but Dover is just sitting there waiting, gets five minutes off, Of course he's going to get shot on him of a cannon to try to finish the fight. He's a smart guy. He recognizes that if he doesn't finish, he's going to lose. So I don't know, man. That will kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.

I didn't like that. A beautiful knockout by Arici Long. Bruno's over with a submission. Just a whole night of great fights. It was amazing to be a part of. Now it's time for my total wireless performance of the night, And that's going to go to Charles Jardin for that beautiful flying knee and that submission. Look, guys, it's easy to give it to Brendan Allen because he's the main event.

But my Total Wireless performance of the night goes to Charles Rodin. Guys, again, thank you for your support. I appreciate you.
