1:04

You're listening to the Vox Media Podcast

1:06

Network. What's

1:28

up everybody? It is Friday,

1:31

April 26th, 2024. It is

1:33

indeed a heck of a morning. We're

1:37

live on the MMA Fighting YouTube channel. You can hear

1:39

the show at its entirety. Well,

1:42

obviously here and on the

1:44

MMA Fighting Podcasting Network. What's going on everybody? I

1:46

am Mike Hec. Hope you're all just having a wonderful

1:49

Friday. There was

1:51

no UFC this past weekend. There

1:54

is a UFC tomorrow, UFC Vegas 91. I

1:56

think the weigh-ins are kicking off either

2:00

now. now or at noon Eastern. I'm not

2:02

really sure. We got knuckle

2:04

mania tomorrow too. Mike Perry versus Tiago Alves.

2:06

I can't even begin to tell you how

2:08

excited I am for that. Those BKFC cards,

2:10

especially when they do a big are just

2:12

incredibly fun to watch. So

2:15

I'm looking forward to that. And

2:18

yeah, I mean, there's things we could

2:20

talk about and that's why we're

2:22

here. So let's just get after it. Throw

2:25

your questions in the comments. We'll bring them

2:27

up. We'll discuss. We'll

2:29

make it happen. Of course, the super

2:31

chatters get to cut the

2:33

proverbial line. We get to jump through

2:36

the velvet rope, so to speak, but we'll get to

2:38

as many as we can. And

2:41

we'll get after it. Lazy

2:43

bed with the correct attitude, a heck of a morning and a

2:46

hell of an afternoon. You're damn right. You're

2:49

damn right. Thank

2:53

you, Bree. Thank

2:56

you, Garrett. Oh,

2:59

God. Who's the clown, Don

3:01

Davis or Tony Khan? Damn,

3:04

dude. That's a question,

3:06

is it not? I

3:13

don't know. I don't think either like

3:15

deep downer cons. I understand like the

3:17

premise of the question. I'm

3:24

not really like offended by what

3:26

PFL is trying to do. What a

3:28

W does is just awful. And

3:31

as someone who has watched pro wrestling forever,

3:33

and I know I'm not like as into

3:35

it now as I once was, but man,

3:37

the one thing. And

3:40

I was talking to somebody about this because we're

3:42

having a wrestling discussion. Like

3:44

a couple of days ago and someone had

3:46

brought this up about Tony Khan. And I'm like,

3:48

a W has just been so bad. The

3:51

one thing they just cannot do is put

3:53

Tony Khan on television. He cannot be

3:55

a storyline character in

3:58

any way. And then like, two. days

4:00

later he's on friggin dynamite and

4:03

he's gonna be part of a storyline. I will credit

4:05

him for rocking the neck brace

4:08

at the NFL Draft yesterday but man

4:10

AW is bad. Oh is

4:13

it bad? It's tough. Don

4:16

Davis to me is the funniest

4:18

man in all of combat sports.

4:20

When he speaks I have to

4:22

listen even though he's wrong about

4:25

almost everything he says it's just

4:27

hilarious to kind of see how

4:30

wrong he is and at

4:32

the end of the day I think we all root we

4:34

root for Don Davis we root for the PFL

4:37

we want them to do well we we almost

4:39

like we need them as MMA fans to

4:42

do the right things and be

4:44

good and be compelling and draw

4:46

an audience and make money we

4:48

need somebody to nip at

4:50

the heels of the UFC and

4:53

the biggest fear I've had when it comes

4:55

to PFL and I continue to have with PFL is

4:57

they feel like they're already there they feel like they've

5:00

done everything they need to do that they're in the

5:02

right spot and I think they're

5:04

so far away from where they need to be

5:06

or at least the way they perceive themselves that

5:09

perhaps maybe they're getting a little

5:11

too comfortable and God man but

5:15

Don is hilarious funniest funniest

5:17

man in all of combat sports. Joseph

5:22

will there be a watch party live from

5:24

Vegas for UFC 303? I don't know. I

5:26

don't know. We

5:29

shall see. I wouldn't be opposed

5:31

to it. I would like to

5:34

spend more than a day in Las Vegas if we're

5:36

gonna do that and

5:38

make like a thing out of it. See one of

5:40

my one of my goals

5:42

has always been especially doing all these shows

5:44

is that and

5:47

I know it's a different world post COVID

5:49

and everything going on I would love to

5:51

like do BTL like live

5:53

at a at a spot and

5:56

I even like just charge people money to come

5:58

in like I saw

6:00

Morning Combat do some live shows at Brewhouse

6:03

or Beerhouse or something like that, like right outside

6:06

of T-Mobile. Like I would love to do something

6:08

like that and just do

6:10

the show there with live mics and fans

6:12

reacting to shit. Like that's what I would

6:14

love to do. Even do this

6:16

show from there. Just had people walk up and ask questions.

6:18

I know that's a dangerous, dangerous game to play, but I

6:20

think that'd be fun as hell. So

6:24

maybe we could do something cool like that. Yeah,

6:26

look, if we could work it out, then I

6:30

would certainly be down. But

6:35

hopefully it's for more than a day. That makes sense.

6:40

Left Lane Talk Fight Announcements.

6:43

Buckley versus Roodsibayev, Van versus

6:45

Tyra, Jacoby versus Reyes, Imba

6:47

versus Kynoneer. We

6:50

talked a lot about Buckley versus Roodsibayev

6:53

on BTL. I sort of tweeted my

6:55

thoughts and I'm still

6:57

incredibly confused by that matchup.

7:00

And this is what I, one of the things I said on

7:02

BTL yesterday was if you gave

7:05

me 500 guesses on who

7:07

Joaquin Buckley's opponent would be. Nurse

7:10

Elton Roodsibayev would not have been one of them. It's

7:13

just so on a left field.

7:15

And that fight is so close from happening.

7:17

Like we're two weeks away from that fight.

7:20

15 days from that event and

7:22

Roodsibayev is going to cut to 170. Like

7:25

I don't even know if that fight's actually going to

7:27

happen, which is crazy to think

7:29

about. On the other end, if Roodsibayev

7:31

does make 170 and he does it healthy,

7:33

boy, is this

7:35

a tough matchup? This is a tough, tough

7:37

draw for Joaquin Buckley. Dude just got the

7:39

biggest win of his career, goes out and

7:41

finishes Vicente Luque. And

7:44

I feel like almost every move he

7:46

has made since that win has been

7:49

the wrong one, if that

7:51

makes sense. Like I know a lot of people

7:53

gave him credit for getting up

7:55

on the mic at UFC 300 of that press conference. I

7:58

thought the timing of that was awful. I

8:00

really did and some people gave me

8:02

some shit for that and I'm happy to To

8:06

accept it I guess I will say but I

8:10

Stand by what I said. I think that hurt

8:12

him. I think that hurt him I

8:14

think the matchmaking is not a punishment, but it's

8:16

more of like alright, man Be careful

8:18

what you wish for now if walking Buckley goes

8:21

out there and beats Yourself then would survive gets

8:23

a big finish then gets on

8:25

the mic and does the thing and calls out

8:27

a name says MVP I'm coming to Manchester you

8:29

best meet me in the octagon Then

8:32

I will take back everything that I say

8:34

but until that point I Think

8:37

he's done D-plus work honestly,

8:39

and I like walking Buckley. I like

8:41

him a lot But I just

8:44

feel like there's been misstep after misstep after misstep,

8:46

and this is just a tough ass fight for

8:49

him very

8:51

high-risk super

8:53

low reward But

8:55

let's see what he does van versus

8:57

Tyra is awesome. Love that fight Big

9:00

opportunity for Josh van that's your attire is in putting

9:02

in the work for a while I think this guy's

9:05

gonna fight for a belt. He's incredibly talented He

9:08

was supposed to fight Tim Elliott Tim Elliott. I was

9:10

told Undisclosed injury so

9:12

that fights no longer happening and Josh

9:14

van need a new opponent So

9:17

now we get tattoo retire stepping in at

9:19

302. It's a hell of a fight. I

9:21

love that fight Jacobi Reyes. That's in Louisville

9:24

Good fight still I mean I'm

9:26

still at the point with Dominic Reyes where it's

9:28

like I'm

9:32

worried, but I actually think this is a and

9:34

this is this is a fight I've been talking

9:36

about I should get an ought-not-know point for

9:38

this because this is a fight that I've suggested

9:41

for a while I think it makes

9:43

a lot of sense So

9:45

we'll see how it plays out. I think We're

9:48

at the point with Dominic Reyes, and this is no

9:50

disrespect for Dustin Jacobi because he's a good fighter But

9:52

if Dominic Reyes can't be Dustin Jacobi like what are

9:54

we doing here? You know and

9:57

then emovov cannon ear I

10:01

don't. even. it's tough to even

10:03

react to this because. It's.

10:07

Not official if that makes sense. From

10:09

will I was told that reporters a.

10:12

Tad bit premature. It seems like that

10:14

direction they're going, but. Not. A

10:16

done deal. On a done deal.

10:21

Hector. Just bringing in. The. Positive

10:24

vibe. Shoutout to Hector. That's.

10:30

A Michael panics a number a worse traffic, it

10:32

worse draft pick in the last ten years. Blurry

10:35

makes no sense. Cannot

10:37

believe it. The second mark on

10:39

Monday starts covering the Atlanta Falcons.

10:41

Be it the Falcons. The.

10:43

Worse rapid of all time. Again, this is

10:45

the worst apex card ever which was worse.

10:48

It has to be top five. This is

10:50

deathly not the worst. This.

10:52

Is definitely not the worst. The Holly Holm.

10:55

My. Are going to silver card is. Really?

10:58

Really terrible. We've had worse

11:00

cards this year. At

11:02

the apex. Than. This one. I

11:05

know the main event is now that tremendous but if this.

11:08

And. I know Alice for as kind of takes a lot

11:10

of shit for not getting into the Octagon, but he had

11:12

a damn fun fight with. Mohammed. The high

11:14

like he stood in there and like battled

11:17

made it to the cage. If.

11:20

This is Mateus Nickel Arm and I'll Cop. Or do

11:22

you feel the same way? Round.

11:25

Spanned Bogdan Goose Coffee Bean. It's gonna be

11:27

while their fights get be fun as hell.

11:29

Green a silver area he lives. He is

11:31

a great fight. Janata

11:34

Deniers vs Austin Lane someone's getting finish

11:36

real quick jaunt. It appears David are

11:38

not a good fight to means yours

11:40

managed. Good fight Honey I bet you're

11:42

Henry Good fight. And

11:44

that we start to sort of. Veer

11:47

into the cyclo, knows.

11:50

It's gonna be tough, but. I'd

11:53

there have been worse a bucks guards I can

11:55

name off that my head. but we've had worse

11:57

cards as year I think the first like three

11:59

apex. cards this year

12:01

were really, really bad. Even

12:04

on paper compared to this one. So there we are.

12:09

Chris, how is everyone so convinced that Ryan was

12:11

trolling? He admitted to drinking every night and is

12:13

still talking skits out about Bohemian Grove, despite all

12:15

his claims to have been trolling. He

12:18

is Ryan Garcia.

12:21

I just don't understand taking a journey

12:23

through that man's mind is, uh, it

12:26

would be quite the trip. But I

12:28

guess we have to see what happens when the next fight is booked. How

12:32

is he going to try to top that? Could he perform as well as

12:34

he did against Devin Haney with that? I'm

12:39

not really sure. That's

12:43

on Drake may like to pick. They got to build around him. They

12:47

got to build around him. Damn race can't catch a break. He

12:50

is matched up with Kobe Brandon. That fight is

12:52

going down. That fight is going down outside of Mike Perry, who

12:55

produces the most viral moment

12:58

of the night and knuckle mania. I

13:02

got to say it's probably the Renzo hunt. Win

13:05

or lose. He just seems to be

13:07

that guy. Just seems

13:10

to be that guy. Let's

13:15

see. I'm

13:19

not even going to try to, I'm not going to try to, I'm not

13:21

going to try to try to, try to, try to. I'm going to

13:23

say the epic Mike. Is there a reason why the UFC outside

13:25

of a few moments like the recent max Holloway KO or Connor

13:27

Rhonda? They

13:33

didn't get the rest of it. UFC never goes to

13:35

the WWE with having their fighters getting along with

13:37

celebs collabing on mega levels being prominent on pop

13:39

culture. It seems like we lack things. Dude,

13:42

we lack a lot of things. We

13:45

lack a lot of things. We lack a lot of things, but

13:51

I feel like, I Feel like some of

13:53

that will be, will be better. I Feel like some of that will

13:56

be better. Let's.

14:02

See Ah Bree I do realize is entirely

14:04

off topic but you work for both You

14:06

have see and became a may I ask

14:08

us a clue. The all but strictly a

14:10

males on such scares I read out of

14:12

work for either of them. I

14:15

work for him a fighting. Bide.

14:18

We cover both were given cover both these

14:20

cards and I can assure you, Knuckle Mania

14:22

is gonna do. It's gonna

14:24

have ten. Fifteen, maybe

14:26

even twenty times more interest in the

14:28

Apex Guard. It's just how it always

14:31

works. It's just how it always works.

14:33

And look the of see charging A is the Us

14:36

is it be tried you eighty dollars for yep C

14:38

Three A one. Not.

14:40

A good pay review guard. one of a

14:42

worse we've seen a while like I do

14:44

actually think it's gonna be a a somewhat

14:47

enjoyable watch. Pads. Jose vs

14:49

Earth is a really good fi. It's just not a

14:51

main event, it's just not going to. It.

14:54

Is not gonna make people want to drop eighty bucks. Knuckle.

14:56

Mania is thirty dollars. It's Twenty nine

14:58

Ninety nine. And if you already I

15:00

think if we already have the the

15:02

bk of see app. It's.

15:05

For I think it's free or it's only

15:07

like five bucks or something like this. The

15:10

value in this is unbelievable if you never

15:12

watched a Bj Fc card especially when they

15:14

do a big it is. Fun!

15:16

As hell. It's. Very fun.

15:19

The scapula fun. But.

15:21

I I I work for. This.

15:23

Company but our for the of Fear

15:25

or Btc. An.

15:28

Hour and a guzman a good look your

15:30

subject for him, Ah, what do you know

15:32

about call the any and Gary about as

15:34

much as I've seen? Social.

15:38

Media. I mean, Everything that

15:40

Eons kind of talked about.

15:42

Like I'd already heard that.

15:44

Colby still a little bit dinged up.

15:47

So. That date may not work. That's.

15:50

just kind of what i've heard in would have

15:52

been told from a cold we would probably know

15:54

the answer to that but he is trying to

15:56

draw some interest you want to get on this

15:58

gonna car understand what he's trying to do i

16:00

just don't know if this I don't know if

16:02

this date's gonna work you

16:06

might want to pivot but I don't

16:08

know I honestly I honestly do not know

16:14

mark I've not seen that video prelims

16:16

are pretty bad I agree Garrett mark

16:23

likes Gary verse MVP in Manchester I don't

16:26

hate that it's

16:32

a big honestly and MVP is like over

16:35

and stuff but I think it's it's definitely

16:37

a step back for Ian the better fight

16:39

for him business-wise is definitely the Colby fight

16:42

but the build to that is gonna be awful

16:44

and I think and

16:47

I've talked about this before I think I know a

16:50

lot of people don't like Ian Gary I feel

16:52

like some of that hatred is a little

16:55

off if we're being honest but he's

16:58

I mean he's always been super cool to me so

17:01

I have no problem with Ian at all he's

17:03

a tremendous fighter the dude's probably gonna win a

17:05

title at some point he is

17:08

incredibly skilled and he's only

17:10

gonna get better the reputation

17:12

that he's kind of getting it at certain gyms I

17:14

know the Leon Edwards stuff kind of rub people the

17:16

wrong way but it seems

17:19

like he's found a home in Brazil and training

17:21

with Charles Oliver and those guys but

17:24

I think he kind of needs I guess

17:27

an imagery fresh and there is a part

17:29

of me I think I'd rather see the

17:31

Colby fight just for how he progresses and

17:34

how close that would get him to a title fight

17:37

but the MVP fight would be a way

17:39

more refreshing the build MVP is

17:41

not a big shit talker even if

17:43

Ian starts firing shots like MVP is not

17:45

gonna sit there and talk about his wife

17:48

or anything like that so I think it

17:50

would be a little bit uh it'd be

17:52

refreshing but we'll see what happens where

17:59

does the collage go if he wins on Saturday, instead of being

18:01

raw dogs, he's been on a good run. I

18:03

don't know. I

18:08

don't think much, man. Maybe

18:11

he gets, I

18:16

mean, he might even get like the, the Tyra van

18:18

winner. I mean, he's just in a really tough spot

18:20

right now. Maybe

18:24

gets the loser of

18:26

the title fight or if

18:28

Steve Ursig loses. Maybe

18:33

gets the verse. Like, I don't really know, man. Uh,

18:41

thoughts on the Lakers versus nuggets series on how

18:43

disgruntled mentally checked out they look, what do you

18:45

think Lakers need to do in the off season?

18:47

Still being get tender reminds me of volt for

18:49

smacks. I

18:52

look there, the Lakers are just sometimes

18:55

you can get great players on one team.

18:57

It just doesn't work and it's not working.

18:59

It has not worked. It has

19:01

not worked. They're going to make the playoffs every year, but

19:04

just has not worked. LeBron is still

19:06

very good at basketball. He would beat the

19:08

shit out of me on the court and

19:10

most other people around the world, but

19:12

dude is getting up there. He's gonna be, he's knocking on the door of 40.

19:15

He can't do this shit all by himself. Hey,

19:18

honestly, I think they got to blow it up, man.

19:22

But go Celtics, go

19:25

Celtics. Uh, thank you.

19:27

Lazy bed. BKFC recently purchased you expect big

19:29

changes. No, I expect no changes. Why

19:34

would they? They're

19:37

doing good. They're

19:39

doing well. I know that the trailer thing

19:42

is strange, but I just

19:46

want to add to that. It reminds me of Maxable, since no

19:48

matter how skilled the Lakers were, they can't seem to overpower and

19:50

throw the drug or not. High IQ. Denver's really

19:52

good too. Mike,

19:54

hearing anything about Leon's matchup in Manchester, what are the

19:56

odds? It's not Belal. My God. We

20:00

were talking about this on BTL yesterday. Can you

20:02

imagine if Dana White dropped

20:04

a video in like 10 minutes? Guys,

20:07

we're going to Manchester. We got a

20:09

couple of badass fights. Tom

20:12

Aspinall versus Curtis Blades.

20:15

This is how the first fight went, yada, yada, yada. And

20:18

then Leon Edwards, England's own,

20:21

defends the welterweight title against the

20:25

undefeated Shopkot Rakvatov. Can

20:27

you imagine the frigging

20:30

reaction if that happened?

20:33

That would be insane. It

20:35

would be absolutely insane. God,

20:37

and I would feel so bad for Balal, man.

20:40

Like I know it's kind of almost like

20:43

an unspoken joke at this point that like every

20:45

time something happens and Balal's not a part of

20:48

it, he just becomes part of the conversation as

20:50

sort of the butt of the joke. And

20:53

it's been a fun kind of gimmick to see. Even

20:56

just Steve Ursig getting a title

20:58

shot before Balal Muhammad gets one

21:00

or before like Marab gets one,

21:02

like that's crazy. That is

21:04

frigging nuts. And I'm not saying like Steve doesn't deserve

21:06

it because of what's available and what they needed to

21:08

do with this card. Steve was the perfect guy. He's

21:12

on the good streak. He's finishing people. He's

21:14

delivering fun performances. And I honestly think stylistically

21:16

like Vinny Siggs is a really good chance

21:19

against Pantoja as long as he can keep

21:21

this fight standing. But man,

21:25

if Shopkot gets it over Balal,

21:28

that would be tough. But I got to say, I think

21:31

if we're looking at this from a Leon

21:34

and Tom just fighting in Manchester is going to

21:37

sell that place out. Like it doesn't matter. And

21:39

you probably throw Patty in there and a

21:41

couple of other names, MVP, et cetera. That place is

21:43

going to sell out. So from

21:46

a ticket purchasing standpoint, none of

21:48

that shit matters. But

21:50

from a pay-per-view standpoint, I

21:53

think this honestly, I think there'd be more intrigue

21:59

with Leon versus versus Shopkot. Balal

22:01

deserves it. I ain't trying to, I'm

22:03

not trying to stand here and tell you that he

22:07

shouldn't get it, because he should get it. But

22:11

man, what an interesting time.

22:13

What a world we would be living in if Shopkot

22:15

gets that shot. I

22:20

think it's, I think it's gonna be Balal, though. I'll be stunned. There

22:23

is an issue though. Like, I

22:28

just don't know how fun that fight's gonna be, and

22:30

especially for the Manchester fans, it's gonna be like six

22:32

or seven in the morning to end

22:35

the festivities with a fight that I don't

22:37

think is gonna be all that fun. I

22:39

think it's competitive, but I don't think

22:41

it's gonna be a thrilling fight. It's

22:43

tough. What

22:47

kind of driver you got? I got a Callaway,

22:49

man. I

22:51

got a Callaway. That's

22:55

an Elite UFC 303 card? I did not

22:57

see that. Let

23:02

me see if I can find something here. Hold

23:05

on. Let

23:07

me look at this real quick. Like,

23:17

where are these rumors coming from? Just

23:30

made sure there were two pictures. Yeah,

23:36

I don't really see anything here. Joe

23:48

Piper's recent Instagram story revealed that Ian Gerry will

23:50

take on Kobe Covington at UFC 303. I

23:53

don't know, man. We'll

23:55

see. But that's

23:57

honestly all I see here. Back

24:00

to Bree, I feel like I do like BK MMA a

24:03

bit more than UFC. It's

24:05

just a tad bit more grotesque and I am afraid. Sure.

24:11

I mean, BK FC is fun. I

24:14

think GameBread, like I think Mazadaw's fair

24:17

knuckle promotion is super

24:19

compelling. I really like it. I

24:22

think they could do something really big here. The

24:24

problem is, and I've talked about this before, because

24:26

you were talking about BK MMA, the GameBread stuff.

24:29

They need to go fully CW. You

24:33

cannot compete with UFC. You cannot

24:35

try to book these big ass arenas.

24:37

Like you can't. You gotta

24:39

go to these like 2000 seat venues and

24:42

just get the ravenous, loud,

24:44

obnoxious fucking people in there to just

24:46

scream and hoot and holler. Like

24:48

it should be the sort of anti-promotion. And

24:51

I know they try to portray themselves as

24:53

that, but when they do

24:55

it, they do it in commentary and it's

24:57

a little tough to listen to. Like

25:00

you need to be the anti-promotion without telling the

25:02

world that you are that. You just need to

25:04

show that you are. They need to go fully

25:06

CW. And I think if they do, I think

25:09

they can be really big. I think they

25:11

can be really big, but them going to

25:13

Vystar and them going to the big arena

25:15

in Orlando, it doesn't

25:17

make any sense. It doesn't make any sense

25:20

to me, but I do like what

25:22

they're trying to do. I think it's a good concept.

25:24

They're really the only ones kind of doing it, especially

25:26

in the United States. But

25:31

it's just they're trying to get too big. I

25:33

don't know how they're even pulling. I don't know.

25:36

I don't know. This

26:41

Mr. Hack, who's your favorite Massachusetts-born

26:43

bread mixed-martial artist? Jesus Christ. Um...

26:50

Oh, that's tough to answer. I

26:58

mean, Joe Lozon, probably. Like, if I'm going

27:00

back to Fan Mike, it's probably Joe. It's

27:06

probably Joe. I mean, I knew about the

27:08

stories of him and his brother, like, just beating the shit

27:10

out of each other in their front yards at family parties.

27:13

Those legends spread throughout. According

27:21

to Leon's coaches, they point 0.01% chance

27:24

the fight won't happen. It's probably going to be

27:26

the fight. At the end of

27:28

the day, the UFC just wants to sell out that

27:30

building. That's more important than a million

27:34

pay-per-view buys. But I

27:36

think they'll stack this card properly with

27:38

enough names and enough other star power

27:40

to make it compelling. But yeah,

27:44

Blah. Blah's probably going to

27:46

get it. Only one can

27:48

win it all this summer, Bruins or Celtics. I

27:55

mean, my heart is more with the

27:57

Bruins. I'll

28:04

say the Celtics though. I just want them to

28:06

shut people up. Mike,

28:10

if this is the FC 302 main

28:12

card, Islam vs. Dustin, Costa vs. Sean,

28:14

Fluffy, DeLize, Romanoff, Almeida, Van vs. Tyra.

28:18

What's your favorite fight outside of the main

28:20

and co-main? It's

28:24

probably Van vs. Tyra. Romanoff,

28:30

Almeida has the potential to be just

28:32

a hilariously bad fight. If it

28:35

gets out of the first round and I

28:37

think Fluffy Hernandez, man, I think this is a really

28:40

good matchup for him. But Van

28:42

vs. Tyra is going to be an absolute war, so

28:44

I'll go with that. What's your

28:46

favorite fight outside of the main and co-main? TrinDaddy,

28:53

I spent a small fortune on UFC 303 tickets. Should

28:56

I be concerned that they don't pump this card

28:58

up, or should I anticipate a video from Dana

29:00

on another silly victory lap? But how awesome it

29:02

was. Just go

29:04

back into time for the most part. When

29:06

you look at Conor McGregor cards, when

29:10

Conor's in the main event, usually the

29:12

card, the rest of it behind is

29:14

not very good. It's usually not that great

29:17

because it doesn't need to be. Conor's

29:19

the draw. He's the one bringing in all the eyeballs

29:21

and the tickets. Chandler's going to do his best to

29:23

try to pump it up. You are

29:26

getting Jamal Hill vs. Cleo Roundtree, which is

29:28

a super interesting fight, but

29:30

they're not going to – I don't think they're going to – this is not going

29:32

to be 300. This is not going to

29:35

be 299. I don't even think card quality top to bottom

29:37

is going to be as good as 298. But

29:40

none of that matters when you get the

29:42

return of the biggest star in the history of the sport. So I

29:45

think it's going to be fun. I think the festivities will

29:47

be great. It is International Fight Week,

29:49

so there's going to be all this shit going

29:52

on, and I highly recommend any fan. If you

29:54

have not done it, you should probably check out

29:56

International Fight Week and go to as many things

29:58

as you can. Like

30:00

every fighter on the roster is going to be

30:02

there. So they may not be competing

30:04

in the octagon, but at least you'll have the chance

30:06

to be

30:08

able to do, do some different things. There's going to

30:10

be like live shows and all sorts of fun stuff.

30:12

So I think the week's going to be fun as

30:14

hell. I really do. I

30:20

need the UFC back in Cleveland next year. Run up the

30:22

numbers this year and next. I mean, the fact they haven't

30:24

been back since the steep pay

30:26

card is wild to me. I

30:30

mean, crazy. Belal

30:35

thinks he gets to tell everyone when he's done enough for

30:37

a title. He has done enough. He

30:39

has done enough. In a true

30:42

meritocratic world, Belal Mohammed should have gotten the

30:44

title shot like a year ago. He

30:47

probably shouldn't even had to fight Gilbert Burns if

30:51

we're telling the truth here, but this

30:54

isn't that. If this

30:56

is PFL or Belator, Belal would have gotten

30:59

the title shot probably in like 2022, 2023

31:03

maybe after the Sean Brady win, he probably would have

31:05

gotten it, but this

31:07

is not that this is a whole different world. This

31:09

is about getting asses in

31:11

seats and getting people to push. Okay. To

31:13

spend 80 bucks on a pay-per-viewing, Belal ain't

31:15

that guy. He's a great guy. Nice.

31:18

He's funny. Good presence on

31:20

social media, good personality, but

31:23

for some reason it just hasn't, it

31:27

just hasn't clicked with

31:29

the overall fan base outside of fan.

31:31

Just not wanting to see block title

31:33

shot, which is wild because what, like,

31:37

what is Belal truly done wrong? I

31:41

mean, honestly, like, what has he truly done wrong?

31:46

He does good things. He does. He's not a

31:48

dickhead. He's not out getting in trouble. He's

31:51

nice. He's got a funny sense

31:53

of humor. He wins fights. Yes.

31:56

I understand that some of his fights are

31:58

not all that compelling, but he beat them. breaks off

32:00

of Sean Brady. That was so impressive.

32:03

And I know the Gilbert Burns fight wasn't the, wasn't

32:05

the greatest fight of all time either, but that fight

32:07

should have never happened on that card anyways. So

32:10

I will give a little bit of leeway, but to

32:12

see a guy who really hasn't done a whole

32:14

hell of a lot wrong to see everyone just

32:17

sort of turn on him. He's almost like

32:19

this generation's Daniel Cormier. Cause

32:22

like DC never really did. I

32:25

mean, DC's always done the right thing and the

32:27

nice guy and everyone just sort of

32:29

turned on him. It's

32:33

different circumstances, but yeah, the

32:35

wall deserves a freaking tile shot. Ken

32:43

Flo. Yeah, dude, Kenny Florence great too. What

32:50

else we got? Uh,

32:53

back to Breeze, Mazel Diaz fight coming up this upcoming

32:55

UFC three or two. Now they're having a boxing match.

33:01

June 1st, probably the worst day they could have

33:03

it outside of doing it July 20th or

33:05

June 29th, but they're doing it June 1st. I

33:08

still don't understand why. It's gonna

33:10

be a tough night for them. I'm going

33:12

to be really interested to see how their

33:14

ticket sales go. I don't think that pay for

33:16

is going to do well at all, but maybe we'll do double

33:20

watch party June 1st. We'll

33:22

do the UFC one, but then when that Mazel Diaz

33:25

fight comes on me, we'll just do that on the

33:27

watch party. We'll tell you. And keep him with mass

33:29

theme questions. What bosses sports

33:31

hero would have made the best hypothetical transition into

33:33

MMA? David Ortiz. Easy.

33:38

Easy. He would have

33:40

been a superstar and he Pedro Martinez would have been really good too.

33:43

Cause he's just kind of an asshole and you

33:45

either love Pedro or you hate him. Brad

33:50

Marchand would be another one. seeing

34:00

on typology, Tim Elliott, Drew against Tyra, Josh Van

34:02

is even better fights. Great fight. Personally,

34:05

just for Tyra's development, I would have

34:07

liked to see in the Elliott fight

34:09

because Elliott's a ranked dude. I

34:13

think he's top 10 or just outside of it. It's,

34:16

and Tim's a tough out. He's a really

34:18

tough out. Not saying Josh isn't, but

34:21

the style Elliott brings to the table that

34:23

veteran savvy. I mean, he gave Mihalyev

34:25

problems. I mean, if Mihalyev didn't finish

34:27

him the third round, Tim Elliott would

34:30

have beat him in that

34:32

fight. So I thought

34:34

that was the perfect matchmaking, but this

34:37

is just a super fun fight. Trinity

34:46

fourth row in the upper deck, $1,500 each. Damn.

34:53

Good Lord. It's

34:55

a lot of money. Tyra

35:00

wins against Josh Van assuming moves up the ranks further.

35:02

At what point do the UFC start acknowledging that they

35:04

got to return back at Japan and or do a

35:06

fight night card there? I

35:12

mean, I think that doesn't hurt. Need

35:15

to get a headliner in there, like a really good

35:17

headliner. Maybe he gets there.

35:25

Last fight I went to is UFC 274. I

35:28

spent $500 for a front row season. Yeah,

35:30

it's come. Come

35:32

full circle with all that. John

35:36

Jones is training again, training for who? No

35:38

one wants to see him. I

35:42

don't know if that's again. He's

35:48

going to fight CP guys. He's going

35:50

to fight CP Mijic. That's the fight. Pitar,

35:56

who do you think is the three most

35:58

authentic and three least? authentic UFC fighters

36:01

and why Chandler what do you mean

36:03

what do you mean with Chandler is

36:05

he off that do you think he's

36:07

authentic or not authentic I don't understand

36:11

Jesus three most authentic this

36:17

is a tough question I'm have to think about this

36:19

one so

36:22

you have to define it to like that are we talking about

36:25

how they're portrayed

36:27

on camera press conferences

36:29

etc are we

36:32

talking about like sort

36:34

of like over the year relationship

36:36

building and just talking

36:38

to some of these guys and

36:42

gals I

36:49

think Chandler probably is more

36:51

in the more in the authentic than less

36:54

authentic side honestly he's just

36:58

kind of sort

37:00

of one of those days I don't know how I

37:02

can I think about this one least authentic I mean

37:04

it is I like Colby I've had a long-standing relationship

37:07

with Colby I haven't talked to him in a while

37:09

but just because of the the

37:11

character the the gimmick

37:13

if you will that's

37:16

not really him and I think people

37:18

know that at this point but

37:21

fight week he he turns it on to a nine interviews

37:23

he turns it on to a to a 5,000 so

37:28

I think just because of that

37:30

you sort of have to put

37:32

him in there I think balala

37:34

is like pretty authentic I mean just

37:37

like people are giving him a whole bunch

37:39

of shit for that tweet because someone asked him how

37:42

he thinks the fight with Leon would play out and he said

37:44

he was gonna win by decision and I thought

37:47

I think people got a lot out of that steep

37:49

is pretty authentic guy a man a

37:52

few words but very authentic hard

37:54

worker firefighter DC obviously

37:57

very authentic his takes lately have

37:59

pinned So fucking bad

38:01

though. Like I gotta get I

38:03

think we need to get him on BTL and just Be

38:07

like come on man. What are you talking about? Calvin

38:10

Kater is very authentic all the new England

38:12

guys are very authentic. They don't talk shit

38:15

like they don't talk shit at all And

38:24

I guess like to some

38:26

degree I mean Like

38:28

him or not Sean Strickland is that man is

38:30

who he is. I Love

38:35

all these like MMA Boston

38:37

athletes MMA no Nomar no,

38:40

I think Nomar is a

38:43

legend but I Mean

38:46

you saw you saw the moment when like Derek

38:48

Jeter made that jumping catch into the crowd and

38:50

like Busted his face open and you see Nomar

38:52

just kind of sulking in the dugout because he

38:54

wasn't playing and then he his ass got dealt

38:58

Like a week later and then the Red Sox won

39:00

the World Series. So all good Pedro

39:04

would be a good one Wrecked

39:07

Raja Rondo would have made a great MMA fighter For

39:12

a couple years Robert

39:17

Parrish, yeah good one Marvin

39:20

Hagler Mickey

39:24

Ward would have been fun doing MMA All

39:29

right, now we're getting the authentic Tom Asinall Poet

39:33

on max Matt Brown love it. Love this.

39:35

All right, you guys are helping me out. I'm I suck

39:38

with some of these questions on the spot Chandler's

39:41

we are Chandler's

39:45

that made John Cena just does it says the right things at

39:47

all times to try people nuts Chandler's

39:50

like always been like that though always

39:55

Like it's turned up to a different level now,

39:58

but Chandler's always been sort

40:00

of that same guy that has is always

40:02

a sharp always with it always has something

40:05

to say always has says the

40:07

right things always has like a good quote

40:09

in mind like he's always been like that.

40:13

Always been like that. I'll

40:17

tell you I'll tell you a cool little Michael

40:19

Chandler story so I covered. The

40:23

Vitor Belfort a vendor Holyfield

40:25

trailer boxing shit show that

40:27

got moved from California to

40:29

Florida and. It

40:33

was that event where like trump did

40:35

color commentary is just it was just

40:37

like is so bizarre and a vendor

40:39

Holyfield probably shouldn't been fighting anybody but.

40:43

I saw Michael Chandler there and I

40:47

asked him I shoot him a text I'm like look

40:49

I'm here I was like do you mind if like I just

40:51

come up and. We'll do like

40:53

a quick cell phone interview just

40:55

for like our social media. He

40:59

was not long after the

41:02

fight with Justin Gagee was announced I think it was

41:04

maybe like a week after that I was

41:06

like two minutes that's all I need I promise you

41:08

it's only gonna be two minutes so I

41:10

like sleuthed around and like me and Chandler did

41:13

the thing. And

41:15

then we were done and I go and sit down

41:17

and then. I'm

41:19

not going to mention his name but another media

41:21

member kind of lurked behind us and

41:24

when we were done. Just

41:27

kind of like swooped in and tap Chandler on the

41:29

shoulder and like asked him to do an interview and Chandler

41:32

obviously is the kind of guy that feels bad.

41:36

If he says no so Chandler does the

41:38

interview and he texts me and he's kind of

41:40

pissed about it and I felt I

41:42

felt so bad I was like dude you know I

41:44

wasn't trying to do that like I was trying to

41:46

be all East Ventura. Trying to find

41:48

snowflake at that dude's mansion just trying

41:50

to you know mission

41:53

impossible theme in the background trying to sleuth

41:55

right in but someone just kind of like

41:57

stocked right behind and got

41:59

a channel. conversation and he was like not happy

42:01

with me and I just apologize for fusives like all

42:03

good men and then we're fine like two seconds later

42:05

like he's good dude he really

42:08

is get

42:12

ready for the greatest roast of

42:14

all time the roast of Tom

42:16

Brady a Netflix live event happening

42:19

May 5th hosted by Kevin Hart

42:21

the seven-time world champion gets his

42:23

cleat held to the fire by

42:25

famous friends and frenemies on an

42:28

unforgettable night where everything is fair

42:30

game tune in on me it's

42:33

only a kick

42:45

a jump a block

42:49

it's only a serve it's

42:51

only a tackle a

42:53

run it's only for the fan after

42:56

all it's only pressure you

42:59

got this Adidas what

43:08

else we got here you'll

43:10

see announced a couple road shows but they're pretty

43:12

bad we're gonna get apex level fight cards on

43:15

the road more often now okay

43:17

I'm glad you brought this up want

43:21

to talk victory laps here's a victory lap

43:23

for you I told

43:25

people after because that we knew

43:27

they were good UFC was going to st. Louis right we

43:30

knew they were going to st. Louis the

43:33

day before one of the events I

43:36

think it was I think it was the day

43:38

of UFC Atlantic City they announced that the main

43:40

event for UFC st. Louis is Derek Lewis versus

43:42

Rodrigo nasa mento now this is a market

43:44

that historically

43:48

is has a rich

43:51

history in combat sports that

43:54

like every pro wrestling company

43:56

most boxing companies or

43:59

promotions will try to go to St. Louis. At

44:01

least it has been like that over the years. UFC

44:04

hasn't been there in a hot minute, and

44:06

they come back with Derek Lewis versus Rodrigo

44:08

Nascimento. Now, I'm not here to get mad

44:10

at Derek Lewis because Derek Lewis is the

44:12

dude, and Derek Lewis doesn't say no to

44:14

fights. As long as the paycheck is where it needs to

44:16

be, he will fight whoever you tell him to fight, and

44:18

there's a 98% chance Derek Lewis has

44:21

no idea who he's fighting, and probably won't know

44:23

after he fights him because Derek doesn't watch

44:25

MMA. He just, oh

44:28

yeah, I'm in the main event. You want me to fight whoever? I

44:30

don't give a shit. Fine. But

44:32

this is such a trash main

44:35

event. This is an apex main

44:37

event if there ever was one. So

44:40

my whole thing was like, when

44:42

I first saw this and first reacted to it on

44:44

the People's Pre-Fight Show for UFC AC, I

44:47

was like, don't even buy tickets. Send

44:50

a message to the UFC that we will

44:52

not accept this. This is unacceptable. We

44:55

deserve better, and if you want us to

44:57

shell out hundreds and hundreds of dollars, give us better

44:59

than this. Derek Lewis is

45:01

a main eventer, sure, for a fight night, but

45:03

Rodrigo Nesamento, I'm not saying he's a bad fighter,

45:05

but he's just not a main eventer yet. I'm

45:09

not saying he can't get there, but right now, he's

45:11

not. He is not. And

45:14

Derek Lewis is coming off pretty lopsided loss.

45:16

He's lost a lot of fights recently. We

45:18

still love him because he says funny shit, and

45:21

his balls are hot, but I mean,

45:24

you just deserve better. You

45:26

just deserve better than this. But

45:29

then on the flip side, do I

45:31

want this to sell out because this is

45:34

the UFC's way of testing out

45:36

the market? If I say, hey,

45:38

if these fucking people will buy tickets to

45:41

this card headlined by this fight, then

45:43

they'll buy tickets for absolutely anything. So

45:46

I'm torn on this one. I'm

45:48

torn on this one. And if

45:50

we get Jared Kinnear versus Nasserdin

45:53

Imavov in Louisville, what? What

45:56

are we talking about here? I thought Louisville

45:58

Lopez was a better idea. Diego

46:00

Lopez versus like Josh Emmett in that main event. Like

46:02

that's a way better main event. Like

46:05

Cannonier is good. Nastardinha Mopf

46:07

is good. But like,

46:09

that is an Apex fight. That

46:11

is Apex main event. Just

46:15

look at all these Apex main events. Half of them are

46:17

in the middleweight division, like mid

46:19

range middleweights. And

46:22

now like this potentially could be the main event for

46:25

Louisville? Like what are we doing here?

46:30

Do I think we're going to like

46:32

leave the Apex? I kind of

46:35

felt like St. Louis was the tester. But

46:37

honestly, like seeing Joaquin Buckley on this card

46:39

tells me that their ticket sales are not

46:41

good. And when we were doing

46:43

BTL yesterday, I went and looked at the map and I'll

46:46

pull it up again. It

46:52

was one of the worst maps I had seen in

46:56

terms of ticket sales. I mean, there was, there

47:03

was, that's what

47:05

I'm looking for. There were a lot

47:07

of tickets left. Let me take it again or

47:09

now. Oh

47:14

yeah. I

47:18

mean, there's like almost full sections available

47:20

for this card. I mean, they're doing

47:22

okay. Considering what this main

47:25

event is, like it's doing better than

47:27

it probably should, but I

47:29

mean, they have thousands of tickets still

47:31

available, thousands of them. Like

47:40

usually if a section

47:42

is sold out, it's gray. If

47:44

it's almost sold out, it's light blue. And if

47:47

it's far from selling out, it's dark blue in

47:49

the maps. There's a lot of dark blue on

47:51

this map. So look,

47:53

they're on fire right now and they can do this.

47:56

And they know, especially if they haven't been to a

47:58

market in a while, they can do it. They could

48:00

just throw shit at the wall and people will

48:02

buy it. So

48:10

I don't know. We'll see how it goes. And

48:14

again, it doesn't matter because they have this ESPN deal and

48:16

they're getting a shitload of money

48:19

just to put a card on there. What

48:26

else we got? UFC

48:28

303 pre-sale cold UFC social cheapest

48:31

tickets $2,500. Damn. That's

48:37

gonna be an experience. I always tell people

48:40

go to one like go to one big

48:42

event and just check it out.

48:44

And I think that's all you need. I think that's all you need.

48:49

It's better watching at home. There are certain sports

48:51

that are better watching live. I think baseball is

48:53

better watching live. I think

48:55

hockey is the best live sporting

48:57

experience you can get. Just

49:00

go into Bruins. Like if I had the choice to go

49:02

to any game, it'd be a Bruins game. 100% without

49:05

question. Football

49:08

I think is better on TV, but

49:11

still a cool experience. If you can get the

49:14

whole day out of it and do the tailgate and the food and

49:16

the parking lot and like hang out with your fellow fans and just

49:18

like make a whole day out of it. It's

49:21

awesome. Just that part of it. But

49:24

from the viewership experience football just kind of

49:26

drags a little bit because it's not like

49:28

you get to watch commercials in the stadium.

49:32

You see the guys on the field and they just kind

49:34

of stand around for five minutes while we wait for the commercials to end. And

49:38

I think MMA is just one of those sports that

49:40

I think once you see it once, you

49:43

go to a big card, you get to

49:45

experience the intensity and like the vibes from it. And

49:48

then you're just like, all right, cool. Done it. We're good. Louisville

49:56

Lopez, fantastic name. Battle of the media. Any

50:01

fight on UFC 300 is better than any fight this

50:03

weekend. I wish they saved this one for tomorrow This

50:07

is the go home look this is the

50:09

sandwich show. This is the meat you get 300

50:13

301 and smack dab in the middle is UFC

50:16

Vegas 91 There's

50:20

just Not every card is

50:22

gonna be 298

50:24

299 300 it just isn't 297 was trash. It was not a good

50:26

card We

50:31

got a good main event Drinking

50:33

soup pussy shum Strickland. We had some decent moments, but

50:36

I think every fight Maybe there's a

50:38

big there's a late finish on that card But that was the

50:40

longest outside of 300 where we watched

50:42

every single fight and did the watch party 297

50:45

was by far the longest watch party we'd ever

50:47

done It felt like we're

50:49

watching fights till 3 in the morning. It just

50:52

went forever And the card

50:54

on paper was not good so

50:57

The 302 is pretty damn good. 303 is gonna be good 304. I

51:00

think it's gonna be good and Then

51:04

we'll see what the rest of the year looks like but

51:06

there's gonna be some some pretty bad There's

51:08

always like one or two pretty awful paper

51:10

views every single year You Dominic

51:19

Cruz most authentic fighter of all time

51:21

tremendous tremendous name

51:23

drop Is

51:28

J. Elton I made it go in and move to light heavyweight

51:30

and what are his chances there super good Super

51:34

good he's gonna be a problem that division is not

51:37

great Outside

51:39

of the top six or seven fighters

51:43

It's not great so I think you do really well, but

51:45

I actually think he's gonna stick around a heavyweight at this

51:47

point because See what that

51:49

man looks like before the Curtis blades fight. He got

51:51

yoked up Pretty proper

51:54

he put on he looks like a

51:56

heavyweight his previous heavyweight fights even

51:58

even with the Derek Lewis fight. He looked

52:00

like a light heavyweight who didn't cut weight.

52:04

Before the blades fight he looked like a heavyweight. So

52:08

it's gonna be tough for him to cut down. But

52:11

I still think jail tunnel made it could be a

52:13

top five heavyweight for a long time. Again not a

52:16

lot of depth in that division. What

52:23

else we got? Iron

52:25

Lady very authentic germane yeah. What

52:32

else we got? Is

52:40

that all I see? This

52:46

is 3A me poor dear Mike try living across the pond

52:48

getting 60. Yeah you guys love fucking throwing that shit in

52:50

my face. You deserve better I'm

52:52

trying to fight for you guys. Like

52:55

you guys you guys

52:57

should be watching UFC 304 Manchester like

53:01

at the same time East

53:03

Coasters are watching fights. Not at

53:05

3am or 7am. Come

53:07

on you deserve better than that. But

53:10

we're all used to our we're

53:12

all used to our time zones right? Like just

53:16

kind of how it is. I

53:22

don't know what that sound just was. I

53:25

haven't been able to watch a lot of PFL this year.

53:27

Is the pacing even better? Yes

53:31

slightly slightly.

53:37

But still not great. Who's

53:42

your choice for the hottest prospect outside

53:44

of the UFC right now excluding established

53:46

talents from other orcs? I

53:50

mean it was definitely Paul Hughes until he

53:52

got signed. you

54:00

That's a good question. There's a lot of good ones. I

54:06

have to pull up my little dock here. Where

54:18

are you? Yeah,

54:32

I have to think about it. Austin

54:34

Bashi is a really good one. I don't

54:37

know if he signed anywhere. He's

54:43

really good. Umm... There's

54:47

others. I gotta find my little

54:49

dock. Ah,

54:52

dude. There's one that I've been super high

54:54

on for a long time. His name is

54:57

Isaac Moreno. He

54:59

fights for... Oh, I just thought of

55:01

another one too. Isaac Moreno usually

55:04

fights for Fury FC and stuff. He

55:07

was fighting for them super early on. Big

55:10

karate guy, but he's transitioned into MMA and

55:12

really got the ball rolling. Let me see

55:15

where he's at right now. He hasn't fought in a

55:17

minute. He has not fought... I think it's been like over a year since he's fought. Yeah.

55:23

6-0 Pro. Bunch of finishes. Spot pretty good

55:26

dudes. He

55:29

hasn't fought since March of

55:31

last year. He got a first round knockout. He's

55:33

a guy to watch. I was

55:35

super impressed with him as an

55:38

amateur. He's 26. He's on his way up. He's really good. He's

55:42

a guy to watch. I was

55:45

super impressed with him as an amateur. He's 26. He's on his

55:47

way up. He's really good. I'll

55:49

throw Gianni Vasquez in that conversation as well.

55:54

He's the up next fighting

55:57

flamaway champion. that

56:00

was on the wrong end of that awful

56:03

refereeing with the

56:05

fight. I did

56:09

a whole feature on it with

56:11

Edgar Chires, where Johnny

56:13

got put in a submission and was put to

56:16

sleep and the referee didn't stop the fight even

56:18

though everyone was screaming him to stop the fight.

56:21

And then Edgar Chires put him in

56:23

an arm bar, which woke him up so

56:26

he could tap as his arm is like falling

56:28

off of his body and he still hasn't recovered

56:30

from that and dude's still going out there and

56:32

winning fights. He should absolutely

56:34

get a UFC opportunity. I don't really truly don't

56:36

know what else he needs to do. Really

56:39

don't. Viking, what

56:41

are your thoughts on DDP's statement about Yuri should move

56:44

to middle weight? Yuri's talked about moving to middle weight.

56:47

Boy, would that be wild. I

56:52

mean, sure. If he could do it and

56:54

do it safely. I mean, is anyone going

56:56

to be mad at DDP versus Yuri

56:58

Perhaska? Is anyone going to be mad about

57:01

Yuri versus Izzy? Yuri versus

57:03

Hamzant? Yuri versus Whitaker? Like

57:05

I don't think anyone's even mad about any of

57:07

those fights. Mike

57:14

DeGed rage over the Falcons traffic. We had a good time

57:16

in the Slack channel. Once

57:19

that happened, we blamed Mark Romundi for that.

57:21

Really truly one of the worst draft picks

57:23

I've ever seen. Jesus,

57:28

Viking. Spamming

57:30

away. Oh,

57:49

great call. Great call.

57:52

Team Klein is that's

57:54

a great one. Yeah, she's

57:56

gonna be in the UFC very, very soon. Very,

57:59

very soon. Alright,

58:02

we got like five minutes,

58:04

so rapid fire. I

58:06

actually have to go to a meeting, so we actually truly

58:08

only have like three minutes. Jacobi

58:15

Smith. You

58:23

guys should be more critical of the UFC cards.

58:25

I don't know if that's sarcasm. I

58:29

think we're pretty damn fair

58:33

when it comes to the UFC,

58:38

but I don't know if that's sarcasm or not. Like

58:41

we're here to tell you if a card's great, it's

58:43

great. If it sucks, it sucks. And

58:48

there's been a lot of not

58:50

good Apex cards.

58:53

Just a lot of not good cards

58:55

all year. But again,

58:57

no one's nipping at their

58:59

heels, and no one can slow them down.

59:10

Why are UFC cards generally so late when

59:12

the paying demographic is older? Because they've

59:15

had the same process for a while, and it continues

59:17

to work. Now they are getting

59:20

somewhat better with the Fight Night cards. I

59:23

think every one of these Apex cards, the main

59:25

cards should start at 4pm Eastern. There's

59:28

no need ever for a

59:30

10pm main card at the UFC Apex. Ever. And

59:34

I think a lot of these Fight Night

59:36

cards, unless it's a massive name or they're

59:38

airing it exclusively on ESPN, those should not

59:40

be starting main cards past 7pm Eastern. But

59:49

pay per use being at 10, it's fine. Alright,

59:55

rapid fire. Keys to victory for Hill and Roundtree.

59:58

Hill just needs to not get hit. I don't

1:00:00

know what to tell ya. He'll need to wrestle not

1:00:03

that round trees a slouch on the ground, but I Mean

1:00:06

he'll carry really hard too. It's a really interesting fight

1:00:10

It's really interesting fight Anyone

1:00:13

know if Invictus done they haven't and then had an event

1:00:15

a long time. I don't think so Does

1:00:17

round tree fight for the belt if he beats Hill? I

1:00:31

hope so. I Hope

1:00:33

so dude clear round tree versus Alex prayer

1:00:35

is awesome I just wanted to add and

1:00:37

I thought you won the draft trick is the only pick threw me off

1:00:39

why? Jerkis

1:00:42

would fit in perfectly for BKFC No

1:00:44

sarcasm quality of recent UFC card sucks and we

1:00:47

have told you as such if a card is

1:00:49

awful We have told you that We're

1:00:53

gonna do a preview show 1 p.m. Eastern today About

1:00:57

this card and the BKFC card I could

1:00:59

assure you we're gonna spending five more times

1:01:02

on the BKFC cards in the FC card All

1:01:05

right final minute Alex for Sierra winner

1:01:07

fights winner of Arsenal blades Don't
