[Music] hello hey we're back we're back and
0:09
we're here in a timely fashion I know we're like turn quick turnaround on top
0:16
of it we are like settling into our new uh careers as broadcasters slash news
0:24
Rel lights we we monetize now so you know he
0:30
it's really important for us to stay on top of things we're journalists we have to bring you the daily uh we break news
0:36
yes we do break news unless we break it first or people's faces exactly We Do It
0:44
All We Do It All We Moguls yeah we're uh we're just Renaissance women like that
0:50
dude so we just watched the fights we had our first fight companion which I am so excited about
0:57
yeah it was really good right I've only been asking for for a few years but you know no big deal I mean that's how long
1:03
it takes I'm kind of like a dude you know you just ask ass ass and then eventually I'll surprise you with the thing that coming up with a really great
1:10
idea yeah I'm like hey I got this good idea you're never going to guess like oh my God that's such a good idea yeah how
1:16
did you think of it oh my God you're so smart you're a genius you're so smart so yeah I came up with the bright idea to
1:22
do a fight campanion yes you did all by myself and we finally did it and here we
1:30
are talking about here we are um I yeah I enjoyed it I think we could do it more often especially for the early cards
1:37
because it's uh it's just really easy to you know get over here and get it all
1:42
set up and then CH it out it's like brunch I love a brunch like a bestie
1:48
brunch with like I should have planned ahead and got the mimosas but we did
1:53
have our wine so that helps I mean that's fine yeah it works I'm a red gal anyway so I next time though the mimosas
2:03
the screwdrivers the uh oh yeah the Bloody Mary yeah the salty dogs oh shoot
2:10
I love it all that good stuff um how do you enjoy the fights today I missed a
2:16
lot of the prelims but I did check out the guy that we interviewed your boy
2:22
Eric Anders I got to watch that fight and uh Jamie picket he retired after that which is always like kind of like
2:29
uh it makes me sad when I see people retire however what the broadcast team was
2:34
saying was he he had planned on it being his retirement fight okay and it sounds
2:39
like he's really set himself up for Success you know he's um he's definitely
2:45
been one of those Fighters that have thought about what's what's after fighting which a lot of people I don't
2:50
think realize that there's you know there's a life there is a life after fighting and you can't fight forever um
2:57
I mean Prime you don't want want to fight forever and I think a prime example of that is when we were watching
3:04
uh Crazy Horse yeah fight tonight uh he fought in bare knuckle uh with gamebred
3:11
FC yeah and I mean bare knuckle MMA sounds I'm not sure if it's more or less
3:17
brutal than bare knuckle boxing I have an easier time with bare knuckle MMA
3:22
than I do bare knuckle boxing just cuz there's more to do right for whatever reason yeah I think it is I think
3:27
because bar knuckle boxing you were just obligated to stand in bang with someone and you like there's no getting away
3:35
from the damage and while I feel there are more tools inside of bare knuckle
3:40
MMA I just feel like you can keep yourself safe a little bit there's just a bigger chance that
3:47
you can keep yourself safe yeah it's a it's a weird thing but that's that's just my mind set on it as of right now
3:53
no I I agree there's no running away really in bare knuckle boxing like you could tie up but eventually they're
4:00
going to break you in MMA you could tie up and just like hang out there forever you could take him down and just sit in
4:06
half guard yeah just hang out you can let them take you down and just stop
4:11
their uh break their posture and then you're pretty much not getting [ __ ] up as much as you would be if you're
4:18
standing in front of him banging so yeah I agree man I like I've said I've I've
4:24
been in the corner of bare knuckle boxing fights and I am just it's it's kind of hard to Focus sometimes it's
4:31
brutal it is I can't even imagine I don't think I've ever been to one live
4:36
but whenever I uh watch it live it's it's just really nasty I mean the game
4:42
brand FC card we just watched was pretty oh Sano oh it was pretty raw and
4:49
real right there and I mean um you know Junior Jo Santos he's one of those guys that he's he's up there in age and he's
4:56
still competing at a very high level and I feel like he's one of those fortunate guys where he probably doesn't
5:02
necessarily need to compete anymore he's just doing it because he loves it but referencing back to Jamie picket it's
5:09
like we as MMA fighters especially if you're not like main Eventing you're not the world champion you're not like
5:15
headlining fights it it's kind of it's hard it's hard to actually like put
5:21
enough money away make a living and set yourself up for success success afterwards yeah and especially
5:28
if you have people who know how much you make who rely on you and stuff like if
5:34
you're supporting a family supporting uh you know random Entourage or your
5:40
friends or whatever situation you're in it's easy for them to see those paychecks that you get even if it's not
5:47
that much say you're getting 20 and 20 that's a lot of money to people they're like oh you made you made 40 Grand in
5:53
one night no no no my friend no you made maybe half of that half of that and then
5:59
you know you're not going to make that again for maybe another half of the year
6:04
so it's not that much money and um it's easy to spend it when you have it and
6:11
regret it when you don't oh I act like I am rich when I have money I'm like what do you need where do
6:17
you want to go dude I got you my treat no as soon as I book a fight I'm like all right let's go out like we're
6:23
spending money I got to look nice when I go to fight week we got to go on a vacation first and then afterwards it's
6:31
so easy to just plan ahead for all that money to be spent and not think about
6:36
saving it it's crazy um we have to give 10% to our gym a lot of us Outsource so
6:44
you have to pay Upfront for you know say strength and conditioning say um body
6:49
work yeah all that kind of stuff and then you have to pay for fight Camp which is expensive upfront because you
6:56
have to eat well you have to take care of your body and so it's like before you know it like the money that you've made
7:04
is already it's already gone it's gone you have to put away 30% for taxes the
7:10
taxes really kill you too I remember when I was Bart attending in New York and um all of a sudden like we I was
7:17
working at this place where they didn't uh claim tips for a long time and then
7:23
all of a sudden we had to claim our tips and even though we weren't really claiming all of them we were still
7:28
claiming enough for me to get raped by taxes the IRS was like give me 10 grand
7:35
I'm like what 10 grand where where did that money come from that you think that
7:40
I owe you I can barely like fill up my bank account with rent money so it's
7:46
it's really hard once you get to like that fighter level where you have more money than you've ever had in your life
7:53
and then all of a sudden IRS comes and they're like we didn't take any
7:58
out get give it here come on pay up sucker I saw your pay you live in
8:04
California do in California I know exactly how much you
8:10
made yeah it's pretty wild yeah and you know seeing seeing people like dos
8:15
Santos uh Junior dos Santos fight and he's still being successful he's still making money and all these things I
8:21
think that's amazing but then I look at you know Crazy Horse just like I I wonder what 40 and 42 that's his Reon
8:30
now and uh the they were saying on the commentary most of his wins came uh early in his career so that's that's a
8:37
good amount of catching up on the loss side you know it's uh it's really rough
8:44
and I don't know every now and then he pulls one out and I love to see it because you know he's being brought in
8:50
to lose being brought in for whatever Young Gun they have to make a name off of him but uh but a lot of times it just
8:57
seems like he's just doing it for a paycheck and it seems like that yeah it doesn't look like he's actually putting
9:04
time into like his craft mhm it looks like he's he's showing up to get paid and I mean if if that is what he's
9:11
comfortable with and that's what he's agreed to that's his choice um I just I hate to see it because you know I grew
9:18
up watching him yeah I grew up tuning in to see him you know his Shenanigans like he's a very he's a very you know cheeky
9:25
likable guy um and he's he's one of a kind in in fight Sports and I just I
9:33
don't know I just I I hate to see it yeah I I always think about his fight I
9:40
forget who he was fighting but he picked the guy up he walks over to the camera
9:45
throws up a PE sign and he starts spinning and slams him into the wall and I was like man I wish I could just fight
9:52
like that because I know I could but I don't have the nerve
9:57
to no that man is unhinged unhinged he's one of a kind and he's amazing I'm here
10:02
for it he's unhinged and he's talented like that takes talent to be able to pick up a grown man like that against
10:08
his will spin him into the wall after throwing up a PE sign like it's so impressive I I love Peak Peak Charles
10:16
Bennett like I love watching him fight yeah I unfortunately this wasn't it no no Tonight Tonight wasn't his
10:23
night unfortunately but I feel like it's it's his choice yeah he's having fun he
10:29
doesn't look like he's getting super hurt out there either and it's crazy cuz he doesn't look like he's trained but
10:35
he's been in so many fights he has so much experience he can still get in
10:40
there and you know hang at the very least he can still do what he's going to do um and be who he is but I just I
10:48
don't know I'm I'm always rooting for those people you know yeah and you were super impressed with the kid who beat him
10:54
stop you're so shady you're so rude I was
11:01
not you could have F nether were you you could have faked it you know that's not
11:07
possible no that's not we digress it's been a long day I feel like that high
11:12
ponytail has made you like extra feisty I don't know what it is you're like this thing I'm like Sasha with this
11:21
ponytail Sasha Fierce Fierce you got oh my god um um
11:30
let's move on because that fight makes me sad but I do love watching uh felony
11:36
perform I loved that he had like he'll always be crazy horse to me yeah he'll always be crazy horse but he prefers
11:42
felony he's actually corrected me on Instagram before so I feel oh you know him like that wow he he has corrected me
11:50
on Instagram and I'm like I cannot disrespect the legend by calling him out
11:55
of his name that he chooses I'm sorry but he hasn't corrected you he's probably
12:01
more afraid of you you don't know me he's like I'm not talking to her
12:08
she'll call the cops on me I am not a cop caller I'll be felony
12:13
times two D did you see his shirt yes the walkout shirt I want to buy it yeah
12:19
we should I want to buy it we should that's amazing I rock the [ __ ] out of that like a crop top that'd be so cute I
12:25
love it yeah I love it uh Charles FY Bennett uh tell us
12:31
where your store is so purchase purchase a couple uh want to support the cause uh
12:39
there are a few good fights on that game bread card if you want to talk about that first which ones do you want to
12:45
talk about specifically I mean let's talk about the the main because that's the one that's the most clear in my head
12:52
junor dos Santos versus um uh beler yeah uh Alan beler yes yeah how uh crazy was
13:01
that that that was even made you know the size of him is was not like that
13:08
when he was fighting the U when When Alan belshire was in the UFC he was 170
13:13
pounder and it looked uh like he always had really good
13:18
uh Muay Tha so when he made the move to Bare knuckle boxing with uh he was with bkfc for a while yeah it was um it was
13:27
surprising that he was so successful at such a higher weight class yeah uh
13:33
because he was just smaller so how many fights has he had at this weight class I'm sorry I'm like ring table I know
13:39
yeah it's it's further away than it usually is um it needs support in the back I'll just lean on it I'm going to
13:45
lean too and then we should be good and then next time it'll be on the
13:52
wall yeah it's crazy to me that he jumped up like what four three weight
13:58
class yeah he just said screw it there's this really funny video on uh Instagram and
14:07
it's this uh young guy or at least this this guy who's where the caption says oh
14:14
what my wife saw when she first met me and he has like the Muay Thai stuff on and he's in a ring and he's all skinny
14:21
with a six-pack and he's fighting and it's playing the Titanic music and then
14:26
it cuts to the Titanic like recorder [Music]
14:32
version and then it shows how much weight he gained what he currently looks like
14:38
throwing kicks in the Muay Thai Jem and he's just fat and I feel like that's
14:43
what happened to beler kind of just exploded the athleticism wore off the
14:49
metabolism slowed down a bit I think he just said you know what I've cut weight
14:55
for so many years and I'm over it yeah it's fine this is just this is where I'm going to be at and I'm okay with it um
15:02
it's crazy to me that he has had success at heavyweight because that's a huge jump MH and the guys at heavyweight are
15:10
just so hard-hitting but I mean he's he's he transfers that that power um and
15:16
his punches and he he he's just doing well he's doing way better than I thought he would now this fight tonight
15:23
with dosantos and Belcher I I thought that the size the power of Junior do Santos
15:30
was just it was just too much yeah it was it was um a lot and you can see the
15:36
difference when you saw them just kind of standing next to each other facing off of against each other he Junior dos
15:42
Santos just looked like a beast in front of him but Bela was still able to crack
15:47
that nose man he cracked it like a walnut that nose has gone through so many phases of his life it's like a
15:56
moon it it's a crescent nose right now no it is it is oh my God it it's I I
16:04
would love to see the evolution of singo's nose well I just looked at um in
16:09
a picture much like uh felony Bennett's yeah right like mug shots just a lineup
16:15
of noses just a nose not his face just a nose yeah a progression well I like
16:21
looked them up just to check out as Wikipedia and the nose looks so young and healthy it's broken but it's not as
16:28
broken as it was yes many phases it was full here it
16:35
was maybe maybe a gibbous a waning Gibb
16:40
gibbous nose I love that you know the faces of the Moon my girl I'm going to start getting you crystals
16:47
hey I can't give you plans because you killed them but I'll start with crystals now easier to keep alive yeah they don't
16:53
[Laughter] die how are my aloe plants out there there I ask they're there they're in the
17:01
back somewhere in spirit yeah there I do have Alo plants in the back they're just
17:07
not the ones you gave me they're alive may they rest in peace
17:14
yes sorry sorry Alo
17:19
um they're healing my yard right nowt the compost uh yeah so Jinga dos Santos
17:26
look nasty in that fight he uh it was it was a back and forth match surprisingly
17:32
um Bel was doing well but dosantos just like was cracking him cracking him in that last round and then once he popped
17:39
up and kind of wasn't really protecting himself he was just trying to get away as fast as possible dosantos used that
17:47
as a moment to crack him with the hook and it looked like his whole body exploded with that punch like it was it
17:54
was a scary sight it was yeah it was um and what was even scarier was the ref
17:59
not jumping in the refs were chilling he let him take Pro I think it was three
18:05
more punches than he should have dude the refs were chilling tonight uh the chase Sherman fight too he was fighting
18:12
Mike Perry's homeboy and Chase Sherman found the mark it was another fight
18:18
where it was back and forth it was they they were well-matched fights I thought they were competitive they were well matched no one was like brought in to
18:25
get messed up but uh T sh found Mark and then he found it again and again and
18:31
again as the guy's head was like pressed up against the cage and his eyes were
18:36
rolled into his skull it was kind of nasty homeboy homeboy ref with the with
18:43
the hair ties with the hair ties on his beard you need to step your game up you
18:49
need to get your reactions a little faster and I'm not talking about um Mike Beltran That's my boy he's quick with it
18:56
he's like baby Beltran like he hasn't evolved D into full beltron or he's like Grandpa beltron cuz he has like a white
19:03
beard so once his beard grows to like full full belron uh then he'll be a good
19:11
ref maybe but he still has his training wheels on right now yeah he doesn't have to tuck it in it's just like a little so
19:18
he still has some work to do with the beard and the raffing I like
19:24
um yeah I have an issue with his beard as well because I'm like listen there can only be one right only be one Bel it
19:31
does look kind of like he's um it looks like jacking his style exactly oh my God I haven't heard that since like I was in
19:37
high school qu jacket my style all of in my Koolaid don't know
19:43
the flavor oh my God you're you're so retro right now I can't
19:48
handle it right now yeah I I I agree I wasn't super
19:55
happy with the beard maybe he could dyet a cool color like give me a little green
20:01
beard put some flavor in it what was those uh lollipops the tricolored uh
20:07
OAS or something like that yeah make it like red white and blue yeah I would
20:13
love that yeah then i' be into it it's already white he's already halfway there be easy just a couple little and then
20:20
you feel a little more unique and then maybe you'd be faster I
20:25
feel like those colors make you faster too but he needs to get in there a little fast I was I was a little mad at the stoppages especially cuz they're big
20:32
boys yeah there's I mean there's a lot of damage that one punch can inflict when you're that large and there's no
20:38
gloves and we're counting on the ref to protect the fighters so it's just um and
20:45
and we talked about this on the live like there's room for human error there's emotion attached to it I understand all these things but like in
20:51
those situations you just you got to be so on point it's like um you know they
20:57
they shouldn't take any of the Splenda they shouldn't take anything that like the pilots can't take they need to be
21:02
like running on all cylinders Splenda is that a thing that Palance can do yeah because yeah I didn't know that yeah
21:09
it's like it's a crazy thing like they're not allowed to like drink they can't Splenda like some artificial sweeteners can like slow your uh
21:16
reactions wow uh yeah I didn't know that they even have um so when I was in Tulum
21:22
and I was on my dive trip I met some um like uh airplane control
21:28
people that are like in the tower and they're like like monitoring all these things and they can only work
21:36
for you know a certain amount of time and they have an age range because your brain starts you know kind of um
21:43
deteriorating deteriorating so like they have they have forced retirement at I think it's like in their 60s okay um but
21:50
they have to be checked every so often and they can't take Splenda they can't um drink before they can't have certain
21:56
things because it can like dull your son huh is this like in competition Splenda
22:01
or you can't take Splenda ever like if you're working you can't
22:07
okay like you shouldn't ever okay so I feel like it's the same kind of thing but if you're if you're just chilling on
22:13
holiday you're not going to fly a plane for a few days you can have splend it'll get out of your system okay
22:19
interesting I just need I need the refs to like run on all cylinders yeah no
22:25
strip clubs the night before no drinking the night before yeah get your rest yeah
22:30
yeah you just need to you know uh uh uh be on point exactly because lives depend
22:37
on it yes oh man especially in uh bare knuckle MMA fights uh but what I did
22:43
like was the chumminess of everyone everybody was a friend everyone was so
22:49
happy like I I'll be bummed that someone lost a guy that I really like watching
22:54
fight or something and then they have the biggest cheese on on their mouth like biggest uh you know smile on their
23:00
face afterwards and I'm like oh I guess I I can't be that bummed because they're having a great time everyone's hugging
23:07
and slapping hands and giving each other dab and just having a good time and it's kind of it's kind of nice it makes you
23:14
feel like the community of MMA is starting to take care of each
23:20
other I don't know what it was maybe they were just concussed like I don't
23:26
know what it was but it was very unique they're very they they were all messed up I've never seen so many opponents
23:32
like each other after a fight right they were all so happy and chill and it was a
23:37
weird one no it was a weird one maybe they're getting paid well maybe there's no like threat of being cut yeah anytime
23:46
you fight massol is just like yeah you can
23:51
fight here as long as you want I don't know how long you want to but but you're good job security yeah I'm not not going
23:58
to cut you like I'm just happy you showed up and did this this is kind of [ __ ] up that it's kind of [ __ ] up sport glad
24:05
I'm not doing it yeah exactly but you go go for it no everyone just seemed like
24:12
man it's like the face you make when you get off of a roller coaster and you look at the person who was sitting next to
24:17
you even if you don't know him you're just like that was crazy
24:23
right yo we didn't die yeah we Sur vied
24:29
oh man I thought we were going to die but we didn't came close yeah um what do you call that thing U bonding through
24:36
traa Bond yes trauma Bond trauma Bond maybe that's what it is maybe it is I feel like I need to know what they get
24:42
paid unfortunately it's in Florida so we may never know unless we have like an inside source but I think it's I think
24:49
it's up there because I know the boxing they get paid pretty pretty well so yeah
24:55
I think the the MMA it must be up there I freaking hope so yeah I really really
25:00
hope so because that they deserve it yeah for sure everybody deserves to make money for sure um we saw some crazy like
25:09
flying knes today not just in game bread but then this guy put on this insane
25:16
fight with this other kid the the young kid um what's his name Ola versus
25:23
Solage Sage Sage excuse me part of my uh
25:29
that was a great fight my alerian where is he from Albania Albania yeah part of
25:35
my Albania flag I've ever seen it looks made up it looks like a cobra Kai flag
25:40
it looks so cool like it looks like the enemies in um uh what do you call it in
25:47
um GI Joe what are they called oh it was Cobra
25:52
yeah not Cobra Kai but Cobra yeah yeah it looks like that it's a really cool flag
25:58
I liked it I thought it was made up I had never seen it before had to look it up I literally never saw it before yeah
26:03
but that kid was good and he was so good I kind of feel bad that the knee got so
26:09
much attention because we went back and watched a fight cuz I missed a lot of the prelims and the fight was insane it
26:18
definitely deserved fight a night and and performance of the night like I felt like that was a really easy call to make
26:25
for the people giving out the bonuses um but yeah that fight was just like real
26:30
back and forth both Fighters had their moments both Fighters had insane like uh
26:35
wrestling with the the kid from
26:41
Al why don't I want to say alberia where is that that's not a place I think it's
26:47
a combination of beer and Albania yes it
26:53
sounds delightful I would love to go or like the country right in between Albania and Serbia like trans slania
27:01
yeah I don't know something like that but yeah um Albania um that kid was
27:08
super good wrestler really really aggressive fighter and then the other
27:13
one the Charles or not Charles ala the ol Vera kid was just throwing bombs the
27:19
entire time his leg kicks are nasty his hooks were just like everything thrown
27:25
in them it was baseball pitch and then the knee was just the icing on the cake like that kid was out of there before
27:31
that happened yeah olera had done a really good job in that round of just
27:37
really taking the fight out of them and I mean I think that so Sage Sage Sage
27:44
saage Sage I think sounds so fancy doesn't it yeah oh is that
27:51
Sage wow I didn't know you were rolling like that you have a
27:56
saage um I just so I did see I know this was
28:04
like a short notice step up for sage oh um I don't know what weight class he normally competes at if that's his
28:10
natural weight class oh I I don't know okay that's just like speculation but for me there was a size difference yeah
28:17
he definitely looked smaller but he looked stocky so I'm not sure if the other guy was just lankier or if he's
28:23
actually a flyweight I I'm not sure I'm G look it up but continue your thoughts while I do that um but what I saw in
28:31
Sage early was really good timing on the takedowns like he was up two rounds in
28:36
my opinion from what I remember yeah and again I've had a couple glasses of wine today so I mean I could be way off but
28:42
that's what I remember seeing his nickname is The Lion King I thought I Mard it
28:48
but I love it what is he like 20 and still watches Disney that's horrible yeah I'm surprised he even knows what
28:55
the Lion King is that's our time it is don't act like you should have been uh
29:01
watching I don't know what was the thing then Moana not Lion King get out of here
29:07
yeah they've had a whole new string you should have been watching all 3D movies not our little 2D movies get
29:15
out of here with their Retro Retro deep cuts um trying to see I think he does
29:22
fight at bantamweight usually so um even if it was short not this his his cardio
29:28
looked on point until he started getting hurt yeah so the third round was was
29:33
brutal for him Ola just really took it to him and just started really dismantling him and by the time that
29:40
knee landed I think he was already out on his feet like he really was just a moving Target to and I mean that in the
29:47
least offensive way possible but he just there was no offense coming from him he
29:52
was just kind of in survival and he was trying to move yeah it just didn't seem like he had really anything anything
29:57
left other than his his grit and his toughness which is admirable yeah he was super tough and um you got to commend
30:04
his coach for Welling him back into the fight uh getting him to at least like
30:09
throw some offense at him um because he tried he did all he could but you can tell he was just really hurt on the feet
30:17
uh trying to stay in there but I don't think he remembered a lot of that last round that
30:22
happened yeah I think he also probably lost a year or two off of his life as well it was like that it was like that I
30:29
mean you know that's what we signed up for he was born after 1999 so he'll live
30:35
longer than all of us he'll be fine um what other fights aside from the
30:41
main card uh did you get excited about on
30:47
this one because I kind of missed the prelims honestly that was that was the
30:53
one that that was the one that stood out over everybody else's um another fight that stuck out to me
31:00
was the makv and Perez oh yeah yeah talking about him on
31:05
the live stream because uh makab is he's really impressive great technique
31:11
well-rounded and then you have Alex Perez who has had a really long string
31:18
of cancellations and he's had a long layoff and so for him to step into to
31:23
that division against that opponent yeah after having having such a huge time
31:29
like a you know a hard time yeah dude we were looking at it so well yeah to have
31:39
so many fights uh get cancelled how many was it it was like eight yeah it was
31:44
eight almost eight in a row he fought Pantoja in between those so he had like five fights cancelled oh here you go
31:51
fight pania lost that then four more fights cancelled it was it was really
31:57
ridiculous number so he finally was able to get back in there I'm sure and I remember one of them was because he had
32:03
like a seizure backstage so these are really messed up ways to get your fights
32:11
just yanked away from you it's not like he he's one of these guys who kind of
32:16
make an excuse and don't fight he's trying to get in there and you can see it in this fight that he has been just
32:23
chomping at the bit to get in there and now he finally did and he put on a really impressive performance against
32:29
someone who everyone's ducking and like like we were saying on the live stream it's easier because there were a lot of
32:36
uh undefeated fighters on this card um a lot of people kind of making their debuts but even at the lower level like
32:44
Regional level it's really hard to be undefeated as a flyweight as opposed to
32:49
being undefeated as a heavyweight because there's so much luck involved with the heavyweight division there's
32:55
not as much technique unque um with the bigger guys and I mean I'm not being a
33:01
dick saying that you can rely on your strength you can rely on your power um
33:07
some people just have that knockout button but flyweight is hard to have that you have to be on top of everything
33:13
you're wrestling your getups you're this and that especially because you're the smallest in the gym a lot of the times
33:19
so uh to be undefeated as a flyweight is a really big deal in my opinion and for
33:25
him to be undefeated and into UFC and have multiple fights in the UFC is an even bigger deal which is why no one
33:31
wants to fight him so Alex pereez coming in after a long layoff and putting on a
33:37
dog fight like that I I was super impressed with him yeah I think that he fought his best
33:45
possible fight I think he took it to him he had great volume he really shed up well and a lot of times when people do
33:52
this like um this hard shell They Don't Really sets up for success to counter M
33:57
but he was countering really well yeah and I that was one thing that really stuck out to me the way he was shelfing
34:04
and then countering back yeah yeah I like that he was good at like the inside
34:09
boxing he really had makave running backwards a lot which is what you want to do against someone who's just going
34:16
for the takedowns getting multiple takedowns getting deep on your legs like going for the low singles and stuff um
34:23
he was just doing a good job at keeping him away and I was kind of nervous in the beginning because he was kind of
34:28
leaning over I thought maive might throw something up the middle hit him with like a knee or an upper cut or something
34:35
but he was like stuck on the takedowns he's like no I'm going to take you down
34:41
it was a really close fight I thought it was pretty close it was I mean like competitive I think the right person won
34:47
obviously but it was it was anyone's fight at the like towards the middle of
34:53
the third round for sure no I completely agree uh um another I mean the main
34:59
event on that card was uh we were talking about uh Gaz how do you say his
35:05
name Gaz um I think that's what it is I mean he was up in the rankings I think
35:11
he was at the bottom of the rankings in the heavyweight Division I really hadn't you know seen much of him or or
35:18
remembered so it was surprising that he would get like Main Event honors one fight one fight one fight that's why you
35:25
haven't seen much of him because it was one fight yeah but uh Rosen struck really I I just I love watching him
35:32
fight he's so sweet he's he's so humble he's just such um yeah he's such a
35:38
Powerhouse and so humble in Victory and in defeat mhm I really enjoy watching
35:44
him and he brings it every single time he does he has that gentle giantess about him if you I I did a interview
35:51
with him a long time ago and he ended up sending me a shirt afterwards I'm like
35:56
oh my God cuz I was com I was like yo those shirts are sick and he's like I'll send you one I'm like oh thank you and
36:03
not like in like you know uh how you doing way just in like I support I I
36:09
appreciate your support kind of way you know like it was really sweet to him and he just has this uh quietness about him
36:16
like he's not trying to uh speak loud it's kind of like a Francis andano type
36:22
of thing where he's just this gentle giant he's he's very humble and very
36:29
uh just um aware of the fact that he's a big he can kill you big old guy that can
36:36
explode people's heads in half and he wants you to feel safe I appreciate that as somebody who
36:44
is who is very small and at the bottom of the totem pole at the bottom of the food chain I appreciate somebody like
36:50
that oh my God could you imagine him doing bare knuckle MMA God no was that
36:57
ref with little oh my God would die snowball beard ref
37:03
no somebody would lose their life necessarily it it would be horrible um
37:08
but what I like about uh um Rosen shook is the way that he's able to just put
37:15
Power into his hands like his jab was insane tonight it was so nasty um and
37:24
the cool thing was this corner was saying that he yeah I I thought he was down two rounds I was pretty sure he was
37:29
down two rounds and then in the middle or in between uh the second and third his Corner goes just jab just jab that's
37:37
all you got to do and it's literally all he had to do it took a few seconds but
37:42
then once he started throwing it started Landing it started seeing a reaction
37:48
from gaziev and then the more he threw it the more he made this guy's face look
37:54
like a mess I I've never seen somebody play with their mouthpiece so much I
38:01
wonder like if there was a break I something happened like I want to I want
38:06
to know more I want to like dig a little bit because him on the stool in the
38:12
corner before the fight was stopped uh and I mean hats off to Mark Goddard who
38:18
like really was he was adamant he was so in everybody's space and face and he was
38:26
like I need know what he said I need to know this and that because like his what he was displaying was not a fighter who
38:32
wanted to go back in there no he was displaying something like something's wrong please don't send me in there and
38:38
his Corner was like no go back in there you're good you're good homie this is your second fight in your main event and
38:45
you're getting back in there shut up and do it yeah it was um so good on Gard
38:51
like he he did he did a a solid because it didn't look like he wanted to answer that Bell no he didn't didn't it and
38:57
then he was saying something about his eye um whether it was whether his Corner
39:03
believed him or not you have to respect that you can't go in there against a heavy hitter like Rosen stru with one
39:10
eyeball half a jaw and be expected to still put on a performance like it's
39:16
it's unfair for him um like you said you take years off your life the more damage
39:21
you take like that and these are Big Boys too they're not they're not little bantamweights these are heavy weights
39:28
while I was watching that fight I was just imagining it was like if I was a heavyweight male would I still want to
39:33
fight would that be my choice of career path I don't know I don't know I have no clue it depends on where you see
39:40
yourself because sometimes I watch heavyweight fights and I'm like man if I
39:45
was just a little bit bigger I was just a little bit bigger I could like land those punches but then
39:51
at the same time you have to think about the punches coming back at you exactly exactly and those things would hurt they
39:58
look hurty those those look just like something that I don't
40:03
want to deal with they look nasty and I always think back to uh the Alistair overing fight when he fought uh Rosen
40:10
stro um because I was there with my mom we were there live she she was having a
40:17
great time and then he just decided to blow up over's face and uh it was crazy
40:24
because it was kind of like a boring fight you know know Rosen stro he's very patient with his shots he'll he'll wait
40:30
a bit and wait to find the openings before he really like goes for the kill and he waited all five rounds till the
40:36
last like 30 minutes of or 30 seconds of the final round and when they stopped it
40:42
everyone was just kind of confused like why' they stop it and then they showed on the big screen over's lip and he see
40:51
teeth between the split it it was a horrible sight that made me happy that
40:58
my mom doesn't have to watch me fight as a heavyweight because after seeing that
41:03
I don't think you'd show up again no no she's gonna tape it and tell people to
41:10
tell her what happened and no before she even looks at what happened and like I
41:16
was talking about that earlier like you know family coming to the fights I I let my mother come to my first amateur fight
41:23
cuz I did not like I had no awareness no expectations like this will be fun yeah
41:30
she came to all my softball games my swim meets my soccer games Vol like I I
41:36
had never done a combat sport before and so when she came and I I won I won a
41:42
decision in my first amateur kickboxing fight yeah and I only heard this woman
41:50
SC screaming screaming like bloody murder and I was like Hey did you enjoy
41:56
yourself and she's like I just it was and I'm like you're never coming back
42:02
never did she have a PTSD from watching it she would there was some trauma
42:07
definitely and and I told her I was like listen you're you're never allowed back to any fight ever again like it's just I
42:14
can't I can't and I mean I've gotten like [ __ ] up in fights yeah and I just
42:21
can't worry about what my family is feeling seeing experiencing ining while
42:27
I'm in there if I'm going to war if I'm going to battle I need Soldiers with me and my
42:33
mother is is not one of them she not
42:39
no she she has a office job she can stay there a nice safe job
42:46
behind a desk my mom's a lover yeah not doing the combat oh man yeah no there
42:54
there're just you know there's the the personality types that I want with me there and I just I don't want my family
43:01
to to worry about me yeah and everyone's family is different um I always wonder
43:08
like Eddie Alvarez his wife you hear her screaming bloody murder I always wonder
43:16
if that like gets him going cuz it must I feel like he would say something if it didn't like if it bothered him if it
43:22
distracted him I feel like he would say something maybe he just doesn't hear her he like Tunes her out like an maybe
43:34
oh she's like talking about this girl at work that she hates and you don't want
43:39
that fish and he's like M mhm yeah he puts on his video game ears exactly
43:46
exactly maybe he has video game ears inside the fight May I mean I wouldn't be surprised you require the same Focus
43:53
for a firstperson shooter that you do for fighting in a cage I don't know I I have the you know
44:01
i' I've developed the ability to like you know Focus but when I'm fighting I can still hear stuff oh yeah I can like
44:09
I I'm like I if I see you when the parking lot afterwards [ __ ] you up I I
44:15
heard that yes I heard that yeah that's funny yeah no I I just I can do it and I
44:23
don't know how other people do it no I for me um my my I I guess my family's just ride
44:30
or die you know but there have been moments where I was just like man like
44:35
uh well it's never been at the fights like every now and then like someone will say something like oh you got to do
44:41
this or you got to stop being nice in there and I'm like I'm not trying to be nice like that's that's the least of my
44:48
worries is being nice and and so then you know creating that boundary was good
44:53
because then everything uh that like my core group family who comes to see me
44:59
fight says it's positive they're always Bing me up they're always like you know encouraging me to be happy and do what I
45:05
want um not all of my family members are like that but the ones whose opinions
45:12
matters they they really support me and and make sure when they come they're all
45:17
for me and they're all there to support me and that's it so it's I'm I'm really
45:22
lucky in that because I don't I don't want to say most but a lot of Fighters don't have that a
45:29
lot of Fighters have the family that pulls at them and tries to be the center
45:35
of attention and tries to make it about them and tries to like be seen with the
45:40
champ and stuff like that and it can I've seen it really wear on people like
45:47
super talented Fighters just have this like weight hanging over them because
45:52
their family is just stressing them out during fight week so uh so I'm really
45:58
lucky that my family is just like this ride or die fan club and every time I hear them saying something it's just
46:04
like get [ __ ] her up and that's what you want to hear you know you want to hear let's goe [ __ ] her
46:11
up and not like ah get off of her you're killing I will say I I am lucky in the
46:18
sense that my my family does support me yeah I just cannot have them at the
46:24
fight oh I get that can't I I actually love having them there uh it's like my
46:30
little I love your family my little TR maybe if my family was your family you'd
46:35
be more into it I think so oh they'll come they'll come to your fight how
46:41
about that they'll come when they'll be your mom and
46:48
brother uh but yeah uh the Rosen stro fight was it was really cool I like
46:55
seeing him be able to just use that jab and out technique Cham and make him quit
47:01
on the store I thought that was awesome um and then the co main was uh what was
47:08
it Tyson Pedro right yeah versus a guy I'm not really familiar
47:14
with yet uh vctor Petrino what do you think about that fight um this was a
47:20
fight that it there was such a big size difference and I I get really like
47:26
caught up on size difference because I I still see myself as an Adam weight I do
47:31
I'm just a fat Adam weight living in a straw weight World very fat very fat very very thick living in a flyweight
47:40
World um I just I see the size difference and um the Brazilian what's
47:46
his last name uh Petrino Petrino he his punches looked like they were just so
47:54
exhausting to like there he just it's watching somebody who has like a lot of
48:01
volume and then somebody who has a lot of power and just seeing like what it does when it meets and and I thought the
48:08
the Aussie um I thought Pedro had really great technique but just everything he
48:13
did and tried was just met with this strength and power and explosiveness and
48:19
everything was just kind of like null and void there's nothing more annoying
48:24
than fighting someone and you block the punch but it still looks like you got hit cuz you go flying backwards you know
48:33
and you know these are Big moments that they're calculating in the judge card
48:39
and even if eventually it ends in a a knockout you know uh these things are
48:45
just taking you off your game yeah you're getting knocked backwards you're getting slapped around you're you're
48:50
Landing clean stuff but the guy's just eating it and coming forward like a Terminator it's really hard to keep your
48:58
uh focus and keep your game plan going when you are the volume Striker you're Landing precision and the person doesn't
49:05
seem to be having an effect yeah it's hard to Rally it's hard to Rally when you're that guy and I I
49:11
thought uh Pedro was um doing you know his best to stay in there but Petrina
49:18
was just really big really athletic he's fresh and new he was probably more
49:24
motivated than Tyson because he ended up leaving the gloves yeah I don't know if that was uh
49:30
so there were two retirements tonight there was Picket and Pedro and um picket
49:35
announced his retirement before his fight I don't know if that was the case of Pedro yeah and I mean it could
49:43
obviously it was like Weighing on him it was you know a thought in in his mind I don't know if he had expressed it you
49:50
know to the public or not yeah but that still does you know it it weighs on you
49:56
I feel like if if I was having a retirement fight I don't I don't know what that would do to me mentally yeah
50:02
do you know what I mean so I kind of question that uh I think he was doing everything he could I think that you know he's always an exciting fighter
50:09
he's very technical I just you know I just saw kind of a Changing of the Guard
50:15
in that fight yeah I hate that too I hate it so
50:20
much maybe because of where I am in my career but I'm like ain't no guard changing here happening anytime soon but
50:30
it happens to all of us no it does you know it happens to all of us so um it's
50:35
always nice to see a fighter go out before they rack up too many losses too
50:41
much brain damage it didn't seem like uh Tyson got too hurt in the fight um
50:48
seeing as how strong the guy was how big he was and everything but uh it's nice
50:53
to see someone go out on good ter terms absolutely yeah I mean I I hope that we
50:59
can all be so lucky as to you know end our careers on our terms when we've you
51:06
know done all that we want to do and accomplish all we want to accomplish yeah um it sucks uh we didn't get that
51:15
ra roses fight on this card do you know what happened with that no and I would love to
51:20
know but when they announced that he was counseling because of sickness um and I
51:26
say sickness just because I don't know what it was I'm not being shady at all this just this just happen sickness um
51:32
but I was like if he's legitimately sick a week turnaround is not going to be it's not going to be enough right right
51:39
it yeah if he was so sick that he can't even walk out backstage after he was
51:45
hitting pads then that's probably something that hit him hard and isn't going to go away it's going to linger
51:51
yeah poor thing yeah but you know he's so young he's Young he's young he has I
51:56
don't feel bad for him at all we're going to die before him he's fine it's good he's gonna be
52:04
fine many years left in the UFC he'll be fighting till
52:12
2055 um yeah well yeah I think that's about it that happened in the fight
52:17
World anything else uh you want to talk about yeah but when we go to our exclusive content oh we got stuff to
52:24
talk about oh we have a really great interview coming your way and uh just going to talk about
52:31
other stuff I'm not sure what so you better tune in to our exclusive content so you can see what it is that be a
52:45
surprised
