0:17
your ear things weren't in yeah yeah I can hear you yeah okay they were in I always put them in and then I go
0:26
hello just to make sure I'm Audible um man we had some good fights end of
0:32
the year fights I know I can't believe there are not going to be fights for weeks in a row how many weeks is it
0:38
going like three godamn I know we maybe it's just two but it feels like an eternity it
0:45
might be three let me see let me look at the calendar one two three yeah three weeks
0:53
of no fights has this ever happened before maybe four has this ever happened almost four because we had fights
1:01
yesterday on the 14th and then we get fights next year on the 11th so it's
1:07
almost a full month fight lless it's like a a Black History Month fight lless
1:12
28 days wow I don't think this has ever happened like this before yeah maybe uh
1:18
I don't know maybe they're just feeling really good about this year they just want to close off give everyone a good
1:24
break just like Thanksgiving really feeling for the staff and all their hard work that they're doing and going to
1:31
come back strong at the Apex I I can't wait
1:36
because they're starting off the year with a bang yeah they're starting off to year with a banger a banger of a girls
1:42
card a card that many people want to bang the main event the different
1:48
way I mean you could auction off who's going to be the ref in that one but then
1:54
I felt like he'd interfere a little too much in the actual fight um but before
1:59
we talk about that what did you think about UFC Tampa as a whole as a whole I
2:06
was really impressed I wasn't sure about this card at first yeah it was a whole lot of
2:12
fun yes it was my whole for violence was filled because you I love it when they
2:19
do that you know yeah yeah I feel very whole now after seeing that violent
2:26
violent performance there were so many finishes um there were a lot of uh just kind of meaningful
2:33
comebacks to um yeah I just I really enjoyed it the story lines are really
2:39
really great there was like a tiny bit of a lull in it I think the first card in the main or the first fight on the
2:45
main card kind of blew blew my load a little bit I was just like what is this
2:51
you go from Michael Johnson getting a crazy knockout to yeah like kind of contender series
2:59
level five fight but you know what you just sometimes it just happens that way
3:05
this this is the try I always say that when you're going somewhere to watch fights sometimes the first fight on the
3:11
main card is the one that they book so people can get to the venue that they're going to W watch the fights at you know
3:18
so if um if I really want to see Michael Johnson fight I'm like okay I'm watch this then I'm going to get on my car and
3:24
get to the place it'll take me about 20 minutes I might miss two rounds of the next fight and that's what this fight
3:31
was that Sterling versus uh what's his name t tkos toos toos tokos versus
3:37
Sterling so that was the only one that kind of was just like H left left you uh wanting a bit but every other fight
3:44
delivered you know I was really happy for the Michael Johnson fight yeah me too he did so well and you know they
3:50
again they always talk about about the age and you know he's had a you know a pretty up and down Road he's gone um
3:57
yeah it's just nice to see somebody have that and same with uh Cubs Swanson you know it's nice to see both of these guys
4:04
still out there doing their thing whooping on the younger guys and your boy uh jacobe too MH that was dope I
4:12
missed that fight oh you got to watch it I got to go watch it dude I was just like ah here we go again because he just
4:18
got knocked out by Reyes he was looking for a shot it was just looking a little
4:23
hard to get in but then every now and then patrino would make a big mistake and you're like dude this guy needs just
4:29
stick to what's working he keeps trying to wrestle or he keeps trying to do something a little fancy and then jacobe
4:36
would get one off on him and then finally jacobe found the mark like he just found the chin and dropped the guy
4:42
like nasty so that was a really cool one you you should definitely check out that one but let's talk about the main event
4:50
the main event there was there was a hole in Kobe Covington's eye since that's the word of the day yes
4:57
hole many holes were made in Coon's face so bad that they stopped
5:03
the fight man I kind of wanted to see that fight keep going though because it was a competitive fight I hate to see it
5:09
taken out that way I mean Buckley was doing an amazing job with just his his speed and his power is landing big
5:18
combinations um but I kind of wanted to see like what those four and five rounds
5:24
would look like with Buckley because that was his first main event for sure I would I would have loved to see it too
5:29
um felt like he was up all the rounds but the commentary was making me second guess it like oh maybe the takedown
5:35
meant something I don't think it did but it was the like in no
5:41
other in no other fight have I seen the takedown where no damages done make a
5:47
big difference especially when there was so much damage done on the feet and Covington wasn't able to answer back so
5:53
I was really surprised by the commentary trying to uh work through that like just say what you think quit trying trying to
5:59
be safe you know what I mean like a lot of times people if they think it's a close fight and they're leaning towards
6:06
one person they just say oh I'd hate to be the judges right now and it's like no you know who won they don't want to be
6:11
wrong they don't want to be wrong they don't want it to be controversial for no reason so they try to play it safe but I
6:18
think uh round two I think is the round in question that was obviously being won
6:24
by Buckley yeah so all the scorecards had Buckley up two rounds before they stopped that yeah and I think that's
6:31
right I think that even though it was it was a big takedown there was control time there was no damage um I thought it
6:37
was impressive because of the punishment that Colby was enduring for him to still be able to get that take down in the
6:43
second and the third round especially how badly the first couple of attempts went yes like it reminded me of when you
6:51
see the guys training football takedowns like tackles I mean I don't know I don't know Ball Sports
6:57
but yeah they're they're hidden the tackles on the football sleds like
7:02
that's what it looked like he he just dug his feet in and was able to just push Colby away grabbed his head Kobe
7:09
had to back out otherwise he was going to get kneed in the face so that was really impressive he did that multiple
7:15
times yeah it was um I saw a lot of a lot of growth in Buckley we you know see
7:20
him going more offensively you know being more of an offensive but looking
7:26
at his his defense his ability to get back up uh him facing a little bit of adversity and staying calm and making
7:32
good decisions and just um his confidence never swaying was really exciting to watch yeah it was really
7:38
great um I love how he looked standing in front of coventon I love like the the
7:44
distance management that he was able to do every time he came in he would faint first Covington would bite on it and
7:51
then he'd come in with his own attack um he's like ambidextrious too with his
7:56
attacks he's able to jab from the left jab from the right and really just confused and overwhelmed which is
8:02
something that Covington is usually able to do to his opponents like that I think
8:07
people forget just because Covington has had a rough run lately you got to look at who you know it was Usman it was Leon
8:15
Edwards now Buckley is in the same ranks as these guys which is huge for him
8:20
because a year ago we weren't saying this so I was really impressed with that um I I was impressed with his attempts
8:28
to Grapple too how skeed out were you when Buckley went
8:34
for that like kind of back triangle and squeezed all the blood out of C's face I
8:43
was so distracted by that it looked like paint it looked like paste it was there was like a a textured it was so thick it
8:51
was gross it coagulated so fast it was so much and I mean I I actually I really
8:57
appreciate the doctor being honest and giving them another chance and then saying like hey this is like we're going
9:03
to stop this soon so like this is your chance I really appreciate that she did that because they they could have you
9:08
know taken that opportunity away from him and yes it didn't end up going his way it ended up you know ending because
9:13
of the cut however I just appreciate when they give a fighter a chance to fight yeah I do too and people are
9:21
saying I don't know I guess criticizing the fact that the fight was stopped but I why but like look at so people are
9:29
comparing this fight to like the Alana fight at 300 listen it's different I
9:35
don't want that to happen to my face what happened to Alana I don't want that to happen to my face Maybe in the moment
9:42
I'll be pissed that they stopped the fight but if I could see into the future and see that that's what would have
9:48
happened maybe five minutes later then yeah I would have been super grateful
9:54
for the doctors to just be like no you're good have you been following her journey of recovery with that been a long journey and like her face is
10:01
healing like Wolverine so I got to say like I'm not it it's not about I guess
10:09
the looks or just being worried about like how you're how pretty you're going to be afterwards I feel like uh just the
10:17
ability to move your face you know like you can become a handicap you can lit
10:23
like uh mobility and N damage and that like when you have a stroke like when people lose the ability to move half of
10:29
their face um that [ __ ] is real and I think the first time I realized my own
10:35
mortality in in the cages when um I had a fight and I didn't feel like anything
10:42
really bad happened but I was crossing the street and I was like oh someone's
10:47
flashing at me and I look over and there's no cars and I was just like wait and then I look over again and I see the
10:53
flash again I'm like oh [ __ ] that's in my brain yeah like well it's probably on the back of your eyeball it's it's in my
11:00
eyeball but I got one of those right now no one yeah it's it's freaky right it's [ __ ] it's [ __ ] up no one else can
11:06
see this thing that is happening I feel crazy and I don't like that and just to
11:12
imagine if something like that is permanent just from being too tough from not wanting to stop a fight that you're
11:19
losing like that I don't think the outcome would have been different you know like he he buckly was up two rounds
11:25
I'm pretty sure he was on his way to winning that third even though there was still control time in the third round
11:30
too so it didn't seem like uh the juice was worth the
11:36
squeeze for like of a better over the on the mat and on his knees oh there
11:44
it looked like he had a on it was everywhere it was gross but hats off
11:49
hats off to Kobe as well for just enduring that and and still persevering
11:54
that was that was a tough can I help you can I help you I don't know he's
12:01
nesting I think he's yeah he's making the green screen more comfortable so he can lay on
12:07
it oh my gosh oh buddy but your lay down can I help you you need to lay down I
12:13
need don't be mad at me for pushing you you need to move don't be mad see now he's never going to see hey you can come
12:18
back come here there you go come on place play there you
12:23
go what a what a primadana I can't believe he did that such a t
12:30
oh the dog I'm raising let me tell you can we do have a kid that'll be fun be
12:36
so spoiled um and what a crazy call out I
12:42
actually like to sty I've never seen that before letting the audience choose who they want to see Buckley fight next
12:48
and the consensus was Camaro Usman yeah I I think I agree I think that's who the
12:53
crowd was calling for and I love the way because that when he first started doing it I was nervous for him
13:00
because he said all y'all are leaving right now which is a damn shame because
13:05
I'm going to do some crowd participation thing and I'm like nobody's listening oh my God nobody know they're all still
13:11
exiting oh God oh God oh God but he's really good at getting people to pay
13:17
attention he was good at getting them to get back involved turn around cheer and
13:23
then have them participate in the whole calling out thing and even bisbing had to laugh cuz at first he was like oh I
13:29
don't know if we want to do that mate this might be a little cringe mate but uh yeah W him like he really pulled that
13:35
off and made it a really fun call out um and I saw a clip of kamaru Usman leaving
13:43
before that whole thing happened oh he didn't even see it dang that sucks dang
13:50
well he he's heard about it for sure oh yeah he's heard about it it just would have been fun if he could have responded
13:56
to the whole thing but he was he was out of there he was he was already in the fighter area getting on the shuttle bus
14:03
back to wherever he came from so yeah he was out of there what did you think about uh Coon's walk out I didn't see
14:10
walking Buckley's walk out I'm assuming it was normal there to Kobe com ripping his
14:17
shirt off oh did he rip his shirt he ripped his shirt off what that's amazing
14:22
yes so he must have known that Hulk Hogan was walking yeah I'm sure I'm sure he made the call I mean
14:29
is is a Florida native so is Hulk Hogan like he yeah I'm sure he orchestrated that Hulk Hogan is like Mr Miami oh wait
14:37
um cinon ripped the shirt off yes that's cool it as an homage to Mr Hogan I
14:44
thought you said Buckley ripped the shirt off I was like man what a troll he is like grade a troll but no that is
14:49
still cool it's still cool um I was going to say uh there's always something weird about an
14:58
American walking out with two American flags to fight an
15:04
American it seems a little redundant like what are you he's proud
15:09
to be an American what are you trying to say nothing that's his whole stick are
15:15
you trying to say that you're more American uh what's really going on here
15:21
but no need to take it there I'm just saying it whenever I see
15:27
an American walk out with the flag when they're fighting an America it feels weird but like I'm like oh okay you're
15:33
just kind of proud but he walked out with two flags two and Hulk Hogan and chelon in I was like how how much do you
15:42
w to there's a lot going on in the spread it on you're spreading on pretty thick
15:48
and then I saw the uh the walkin too when he had his chain of Donald Trump
15:53
mhm and he uh kisses it on the head for good luck he's he's really into that
15:59
Ro so uh one fan question that we got um
16:05
was and let me find the question but one of them was asking about his role uh
16:11
okay at ether 6136 in on our YouTube page ask Florida
16:18
is a red State last time I checked fake Republican Kobe cenon got booed there
16:23
after deting Trump for years nonstop what do You' all think his career will be like like now that his act is played
16:32
out well these are the opinions of ether and not of two straws but yeah maybe in
16:37
mind well I think it gives I don't speak for Jessica Colby an opportunity to
16:43
reinvent himself to be honest all fighters get to well all humans get to reinvent themselves we all have
16:49
different chapters and stages in our lives so I feel like this is an opportunity that he can kind of just you
16:55
know go and be all you and be there you go be
17:01
something genuine and not pretend I would love that there's um you know we
17:08
we've seen it because of Conor McGregor that everybody like thinks that they have to be a certain way and they have
17:14
to be like loud Brash outspoken they have to be like be this huge Persona and what it's helped Colby a lot it's gotten
17:21
him to Main Events it's you know pushed his career it's done well for him um I
17:27
just think maybe it's so far off from who he truly is as a person that it's
17:33
hard to keep up yeah and I'd like to see a little bit more authenticity I feel like I I've never met him but I've I've
17:40
heard many times that he is not who he projects himself to be and I would really you know I I might like who he
17:47
really is you know I might be able to connect with him in a way that I I am having a really hard time connecting with him now no for sure especially
17:54
since he's already done the whole thing like the whole fighting for title being
18:00
a draw all that stuff he could probably drop the act now and just be himself and
18:06
I think uh there was this one moment that kind of went viral years ago where
18:13
it went viral because people thought that he was talking to a young Roy V but it turns out it wasn't him at all but it
18:20
was just some random Mexican kid but he was talking to this kid and giving him
18:26
like some really solid advice about being a fighter and how you have to work
18:31
hard and work harder than you think everyone else is working and you got to grind and you got to love the sport and
18:36
blah blah blah and it was just a really nice heartfelt speech to this young fighter that was just like hey what
18:42
advice do you have for me I'm trying to be where you're at so I think if he showed more of that side of himself and
18:48
less of thetick then he could probably win himself back a lot of fans in a lot
18:54
of respect I mean it has to be hard to
18:59
not just play a role but play it badly for so long like he keeps forgetting his
19:05
lines a he's not good at the role he didn't even vot he he like does this
19:11
whole Donald Trump stick and he didn't even like he wasn't even registered to vote so it's just like come on bro like
19:18
you got to follow through when you meet a pro wrestler in the wild they keep the character going you know so you got to
19:24
you got to follow through with the shick but to keep that act up for so long long I feel like it would probably be a huge
19:31
weight lifted to just abolutely put the character away take out a one of those
19:38
like crates like a costume crate fold up your hat just put it away your weird suits
19:45
that you wear with no shirt just put it away lock it up you can put the key in
19:51
your pocket or something you don't have to throw away the key but you don't need it right now because you've already done enough for the sport you can just fight
19:58
now yeah like you don't have to like I think it was uh telling that he showed up and he wasn't doing the stick at the
20:05
press conference he wasn't he did a little bit but he wasn't being really Brash as as Brash as us usual he was
20:12
letting shell talk for him so I feel like that was kind of telling he might be tired of it and I think it' be a lot
20:17
easier especially in your golden years of being a fighter to just fight and not
20:23
have to worry about doing that whole song and dance no it's a huge vergin when we were on um the the casuals
20:30
podcast we talked about R Rousey and how she feels like the MMA Community hates her and blah blah blah because she chose
20:37
to pick the heel she chose to like really lean into that role and it can
20:44
become more of a burden than a benefit yeah um in the long run and it can it
20:50
can just hinder your performances because you have all of this other extra stuff to worry about and so I feel like
20:58
I I agree I think that you know he has an opportunity to just like kind of let it down and like humanize himself and
21:04
allow himself to connect with people that he hasn't been able to yeah for sure I'm I'm excited to see it happen
21:10
especially because uh someone made this point before uh one of our callers on
21:15
the Sirius uh fight Nation channel on Sirius
21:20
XM and he was like you know the the Maga stick is old because everyone's Maga
21:28
uhuh and so you're not doing anything that makes you stand out anymore
21:34
so you kind of have to figure out okay what else makes me great as a fighter H
21:40
what else makes me interesting to watch and uh you know he another question that
21:47
was asked by one of our fans gain Bond asked uh how do we summarize col's
21:52
career in his place in the sport is he great or is the guy that or is he the
21:57
guy that almost got fired and S sold his soul for paychecks I think he's a great
22:04
fighter yeah and I think we get distracted by the stick by the Persona
22:09
that he's created I think we get really distracted by it and we forget that he's
22:14
a really good fighter he is a tough fight now he took this fight on short notice against Buckley who is in his
22:20
prime and on the up and I think that we just kind of forget no but Kobe is
22:27
really talented he is he is the his rise to the top um his fights against Usman
22:34
were very competitive he had him on queer Street a couple of times in those
22:40
fights and uh even in the Edwards fight he didn't really show up for that one but he went hard in the fifth round and
22:48
showed what he could do it just might have been like a mental flop so he's definitely someone who is to be
22:56
respected he's going to be a top guy for a long time um I don't expect him to
23:01
retire anytime soon I I expect him to probably not fight that often still because he had it in the past but uh
23:08
yeah I don't expect him to go anywhere like he can still beat a lot of the top 10 um with a full camp or not so I think
23:17
I think he has to be respected I feel like like you said it it's distracting
23:22
his stick and how unlikable he is on purpose but if you take that away you
23:28
still have a fighter who is able to do what a lot of people couldn't do I feel like the only person who is able to do
23:34
what Kobe does the be better than him is balah Muhammad like that whole overwhelming style being good at
23:41
everything and being able to game plan it into a way that you just destroy everyone you fight like Bala is the only
23:48
person who's been able to use that style better than him but he he was doing it
23:54
first he had the blueprint and uh people forget about that because we get so many crazy Knockouts and and submissions and
24:01
so many people just like you know getting hit to to or getting hit to get their own hits in and you forget about
24:08
the technicians that are able to just pick people apart so I I I definitely
24:13
respect Kobe's fighting um I respect that he was able to sell a soul in order to stay relevant too because a lot of
24:21
Fighters get the can just for being boring and his style of fighting wasn't
24:27
the most exciting to watch no but hearing hearing him talk and operate and the the drama and the
24:33
escalations that he causes is is what has kept him in the sport for so long
24:39
and in the spotlight exactly he's never not on a main on a main event yeah he
24:44
did that for himself so you you can hate the player or you can hate the game but he
24:51
was able to play the game well said well said thanks that P
24:58
that out of my ass somebody print that our next t-shirt um yeah so that
25:05
was that was a really awesome fight I'm happy I got to see it um again we're sad that we didn't get to see more of that
25:12
cut getting opened up but at least he's still has an eyelid that's kind of nice yeah you don't you need that you need
25:20
that for fighting you need it for life yeah it's important you know live to fight another day man we know people who
25:26
can't use their eyelid like real tough it sucks being stuck like this you don't want that you don't want
25:33
that he's like Kobe's gonna go on to be like a politician or something he's going to need both of his eyelids other
25:39
PE otherwise people aren't going to vote for him I don't know they may be into the eye patch thing that think that could be
25:45
kind of like like Bond villain is or you know that could be like sexy in a way an
25:51
eye patch I don't know not if he's still stuttering like well that well yeah that's another thing takes away the
25:58
stutter takes away from the grittiness for sure it does it does but maybe an eye patch can be sexy all right well you
26:04
know who could pull off an eye patch who Cub Swanson with that mustache cuz he
26:11
yes he looked like a straight up pirate and he went in there and he put on a
26:18
crazy [ __ ] fight against uh corano like I didn't know who was going to win that until that punch out of nowhere
26:25
just dropped oh my God that leaping lead hook followed up by a right it's so nice
26:33
it was beautiful it was it was absolutely beautiful the first round was like classic Cub Swanson he's you know
26:40
shifting his St big Ducks throwing the rights looping underneath um he just looked really really good but towards
26:47
the end of the round I saw him slowing down a little bit and Coro starting to like find his range and starting to like
26:55
fight back you know you figure figure things out was kind of staring he was a little overwhelmed at first and then in
27:01
the second round he I saw Cub slowing down a little bit more and I was like oh man oh man but I mean what a fun fight
27:08
yeah it it was a really fun fight um corano can get those knees up that was
27:15
that was scaring me that was I mean and that's what you do to somebody who dips their head so much and likes to stay in
27:21
the pocket that's like that's a great weapon and and we saw how effective it can be yeah because you have a lot of
27:27
velocity you dip like he's going crazy big right cross then rolling his head to
27:35
get out of the way of the hook but every now and then he would kind of go like hook knee or like jump knee or something
27:41
like that after the cross came out and it landed perfectly it was just like Boos you know a car crash and it made
27:49
him really get wobbled and made him U Move backwards and everything but that
27:55
cross was Landing so much and the role was actually like working 99% of the
28:01
time like every time he landed that big one two or 32 or just the two from his
28:07
hip he would roll out of the way of danger and for whatever reason Coro couldn't see it coming I think it was he
28:13
was so worried about getting hit by the cross that he couldn't plan an alternate
28:18
attack like every now and then he was able to punch over the shoulder with like a check hook or something but it
28:24
was a lot of force coming at him and when he punch from the hip it's hard
28:29
to I guess figure out where the punch is going and it's hard to get out of the
28:35
way because that angle it goes like right in between your elbows and up to your face so it was a really awesome uh
28:43
just display of how to use your boxing and MMA and uh use your head movement
28:50
too like he didn't even need his hands up because he was rolling his shoulders
28:55
and moving his head and getting out of away of everything coming for him uh
29:00
quano did a good job of like going for takedowns too but he was just iel like
29:06
he just didn't have enough steam to really get on top of Cub and and hold him down Cub was just too Savvy limp
29:13
leing out and he's super tricky he's you know a high level black belt and he was doing um some just really nice defense
29:20
just really staying calm and doing what he needed to do to get back up yeah how
29:25
crazy was it the difference between all the other punches that land
29:31
so I I have to give credit to coro's poker face because the way he fell when
29:38
that 3-2 Landed It didn't seem any harder than all the other punches but that one put his lights out so fast it
29:45
was like uh you're not going to get this reference but it's like it's like when
29:50
you're playing Fallout and you go into the vat system and it's like head shot
29:57
99.9% KO and then you hit it and then he just goes ragd doll effects like just
30:04
slowmo just dropped it's like I don't get the reference but I get
30:10
it anytime a video character video game character dies in like GTA or something
30:16
just R all effects yeah yeah just out of nowhere he just the air came out of his
30:21
uh inflatable uh inflatable wacky willly waving arm guy the two motor yeah yeah
30:28
yeah it just yeah he fell he fell hard and he was out for I mean not not too long but
30:36
long enough to be a little scary to be a little scary exactly um but they they
30:42
were beautiful dance partners and I love that um Cub commended him in the postf fight speech afterwards I also loved
30:50
that he mentioned when they asked if he was going to be fighting again he said you know he kind of told his wife that
30:55
he was going to like throw it in after this one and she's sitting there like you did you said it you said
31:03
it no more oh man it's hard though because with such a spectacular finish
31:08
like that that's got to like you're like no I could still do this yeah well he didn't take his gloves off he didn't
31:14
leave him in the ring so he's doing kind of the Tony Ferguson one glove off yeah
31:21
he's like I might I might I might not we're going to leave it open but if I do
31:27
this was great like like I don't have to yeah this is a great way to to leave it
31:32
um and I like how he's not rushing to make any decisions yet like they were pressing him in the press conference
31:39
what are you going to do are you going to retire are you going to fight again he's like I don't know like yeah leave
31:46
the guy alone you know it's you should never make decisions off of emotion whether they're they're a high or a low
31:52
one yeah you got to go regroup and uh We've we've said it before but you rarely get a chance to walk off into the
31:59
sunset on such a high note so like if he does end up leaving uh this is this is
32:07
as much of a plus to retiring as it is a minus to retiring you know what I mean
32:13
like you really want to end on a high not and you know if you do it again there's a good chance it's not going to
32:18
be that spectacular so unless you get like a total can and corano he is a a stud like
32:26
he's not a push over um Cub was in no way teed up to get this win it was a
32:32
very even match up so I was uh super impressed reminds me of when you're at
32:37
the poker table you know you you put it down you win big and you're like you know I'm going to go back one more time and then you lose everything and then
32:45
just just one more time and you know what I'm just going to double down no it's a trap it is it's a trap I saw when
32:52
I was in uh Las Vegas a couple weekends ago our man our manager lost a lot of
32:59
money see he wins money when Adam's there because Adam's cheap and Adam wins
33:04
a few hundred and he walks away because he's cheap should have learned actually I'm
33:11
cheap I was the one that convinced I was like Cub Swanson's wife I was like Adam we're done we're done you just lost 200
33:18
of what we were up by let's go it's not going to get any better than this and then he listened to me as Cub swansson
33:24
should do yes to his wife yes two much wives know best they do and I like what
33:30
you're saying about Cub just uh you know having a wealth of knowledge and just being so slick in there um because he's
33:38
started coaching already and he was really happy about being able to show his team how to go through a fight Camp
33:45
how to work hard how to go out there and deliver and I think um that fight might
33:50
have been even more meaningful to him because he's in this transitioning stage
33:55
of his life and a lot of those kids that training probably didn't get to see him go through a really successful fight
34:01
Camp so now they have like a bar to set and it's going to be good for them in
34:07
the future he seems to be really excited about coaching and yeah I'm happy for him yeah it's awesome he's got a good
34:12
thing going on um over there in uh technically Indio I think it is Palm Desert oh palert yeah he's got a good
34:20
thing going there's nothing to do there but train train exactly and take allergy
34:26
pills of all the dust and deal with tourists coming in for Coachella and oh
34:34
yeah stage coach and all those other festivals he should do like an alternate
34:39
gym where he just teaches them how to fight in the Thunderdome for I'm not kidding you I
34:44
want to see that Thunderdome one day that so F want to we should do like a tag team we could get like a little
34:49
Chariot with spikes on the wheels oh my God it be so fun I make you a little
34:55
mace we got to practice like a Battle Cry or
35:01
something we have like a secret move we'd have like a secret move that involves uh somehow like linking up and
35:09
like spinning one person or like no I'm anyways I like this I like this I think
35:15
I think we can make this happen it'll come for all our stupid gymnastics challenges that we keep do like you know
35:22
what I could kick you while you're doing this thing that we're doing I have so many saves for when we're on this little
35:29
uh fight Hiatus oh no I have so many saved and they're so ready to go and I think that we really need to commit to
35:35
it I'm saying it live so that we're going to be held accountable you guys oh well oh I haven't told you yet oh but I
35:44
have some news tell me well I'll tell
35:50
you but I'll tell you after the show but I
35:56
have fight news oh [ __ ] yes so I can't say yet cuz we haven't
36:04
like I don't know we I the contract is signed okay but I can't tell you guys yet but maybe on the bonus I'll uh I'll
36:13
drop it maybe or bleep it out or I don't know I don't know if I can say it yet I'll say it on the members only content
36:19
that's what I'll do that's what it is you got pay $1.99 and then you can see
36:24
who I'm fighting cuz I'll tell only my members and members you're not allowed to tell anyone else you guys are going
36:31
to get that can we trust you I think we can trust you you think so I think so
36:36
maybe maybe that one maybe that guy all right we'll give him a chance maybe
36:43
don't [ __ ] this up guys cuz it'll never happen again once you break the circle of trust there is
36:49
no repairing it no coming back you get kicked out of them actually no we'll keep you there for you $199 a month
36:56
but we're not going to respond to your questions I also have
37:04
news what I may or may not have uh signed a
37:12
contract for what for an organization I
37:18
know is it the one that a lot of our friends have can you talk about it yeah
37:25
yeah yeah yeah is it the gfl [Laughter] so do you know that one of our uh fans
37:33
actually asked this I did but I couldn't say anything cuz I was waiting I was like yeah so when do you find out what's
37:41
going to happen with that um so right now they've just announced the fighters that they've signed okay and there's
37:47
going to be tryouts oh yeah there's going to be actual tryouts for the rest of the spots that are going to be filled
37:53
like tough house or something I don't think it's necessarily going to be a house I just think it's going to be open try outs okay so not like you don't have
38:00
to fight you would just go and show show me what you got that's what I'm
38:06
understanding right okay is that the thing that's happening in January they had like a they said something about a
38:12
draft January 24th or something okay yeah and so the season so it'll be teams
38:19
and I don't know what team I'm on um I don't know how they select that but there will be teams it's almost like do
38:25
you remember IFL back in the day yeah yeah um so it's kind of like that
38:31
so one team is slated to fight a team and there's like certain scoring criteria per wins
38:37
finishes um losses all that kind of stuff so your team earns points and then
38:43
you go into the finals well I saw the all the other straw weights that have
38:48
been announced already and let me tell you I excited for
38:56
you very excited um that's awesome so you have no idea when the teams are
39:04
selected or like the first fight card is happening or anything like that it'll happen in April okay so they have they
39:10
do have the dates solidified uh but I I don't know anything more than that okay
39:16
so April is a date to look forward to Yes um and that's all you know yeah what
39:24
about the contract is it juicy it's better than I was getting the UFC ooh I
39:29
know well I wasn't getting paid much in the UFC anyway so it's not a big deal it's a big deal anything paying
39:37
more than the UFC outside of the UFC is a big deal yeah because like after what's gone down with like pfl and
39:44
ballator and then 1fc now we're hearing Champions even say don't sign with 1fc
39:51
it's been seeming kind of grim yeah it it has and I'm when I initially heard about this
39:58
organization I was like well it's just I mean they've been talking about doing you know stuff and stuff never happens
40:04
so um it's finally I'm seeing like a light you know at the end of the tunnel
40:10
I'm like okay well maybe this is actually going to happen maybe it's not just like a pipe dream kind of thing yeah um so yeah I'm excited I'm excited
40:18
to be involved with it I'm excited you know to see what's possible they have I mean they have kind of like lofty goals
40:25
I'm not sure how everything's going to work out you know who's funding it at all it's like a lot of they're just not
40:32
a lot of money I know in the contracts at least yeah yeah um so I don't that was my that was
40:39
my question and they're trying to talk about like revenue swits and I'm like how are how is this going to happen the
40:45
thing that they have on their side though is name value yeah like they have so many big [ __ ] names like huge
40:53
names um we got to talk to illw Brooks about it and he it's funny he was also
41:01
kind of like Yeah well my wife set it up cuz he's also in that state um like
41:08
Cub Swanson where he was just kind of like I'm done I'm I'm nothing out there is enticing right now things aren't
41:15
things are falling through I'm going to just hang out my gloves and then the gfl called and I guess because he wasn't
41:23
with a manager at that point his wife dealt with any everything but he was
41:28
super hopeful you know about it and that's the thing when stuff like this pops up it's easy to kind of talk [ __ ]
41:36
and say ah it's never going to work out or you know IFL didn't work out this
41:41
isn't going to work out but like they have so many big names signed to it I feel like just the interest of of people
41:49
wanting to see these people fight again including yourself like I think that is enough to get it off the ground floor
41:57
yeah I had kind of like a similar experience as Brooks I was like well you
42:03
know I'm like kind of retired but like kind of not and then I remember I was at the fights I was at uh UFC 310 in Vegas
42:11
and um ode Osborne he was like oh someone about like uh he's like yeah didn't you just retire and I was like
42:18
no I like ish is like what what do you know what do you know you don't know me
42:26
and I was like he's just assum I don't even like the way this sounds he's just assuming things OD did you retire
42:33
OD retired in that fight that you lost he said he would come on the show
42:39
by the way yeah I really like him we're actually trying to get him on the show oh yeah we like him but just he said
42:45
that and it just didn't it just didn't feel right having somebody else say it and I was like you know what I don't
42:50
know and then this um and then like just at the same time like around the same time I got you know s the contract and I
42:57
was like okay well there you go nice all right well I'm excited for you I'm excited for you to make some money to
43:05
mop the floor with some of those girls on the website go check out the website and you'll see what I'm talking about
43:10
the global Fight League website look at the straw weights on there and you'll be like let's go Jess no everybody's tough
43:18
everyone's tough everyone's tough for sure but um yeah that should be fun that should be a good time yeah I'm looking
43:25
forward to it come by fast yeah all right well
43:31
um conversation kind of got drilled but what else you want to talk about on this
43:36
fight card we already talked about patrino jacobe oh well we got to talk about cop and we got to talk about cop
43:42
but I just wanted to mention petrino's booty is
43:48
Bodacious oh what is that guy EA missing out did you I missed out that's the fight I missed Dam girl girl I am a fan
43:56
of a booty okay this is another video game reference remember when they start first started like adding um just like
44:05
the jiggle of different body parts and like fighting games and like the
44:10
volleyball game and stuff he had jiggle physics going crazy on his butt cheeks
44:18
like he would throw a punch and his butt would go o
44:24
like how did you pay attention to what was up top I couldn't it's like uh whenever Phil
44:31
Davis would fight for me like before back before I knew Phil I had a little
44:37
crush on Phil Davis uh when he would wear those hot pink shorts they are hot pink shorts they're very distracting
44:43
yeah he always got the bright colors on the booty yes cuz he knows and his booty bounces he's like a baboon you know like
44:49
he like you know how like baboons have the bright color on their butt so it's like
44:56
it draws the ATT attention like that's I feel like that's why he does that it might have been like a cancer awareness
45:02
thing but I it was I also think he's trying mother
45:09
oh it was a win-win for for him and the Thirsty
45:16
women watching him fight he knew what he was doing he is one of the guys that I
45:22
know that get the most women swooning over him oh for sure but it's not just
45:28
the way he looks though it's his personality too he's such a gentleman he is very charismatic yeah he can talk to
45:34
anyone anywhere any place anytime we call him the mayor he really is the mayor of Chul Vista he he holds the key
45:41
to the city he does people just hand them their babies legit no I'm not
45:46
kidding likeit like my child yeah he'll go to a coffee shop I always go to after
45:53
hours he's like oh yeah they just let me in like what I've gone to the coffee shops with him and it is like I'm not
45:59
even there I'm like can I order they're like no I'm sorry did you hear something I'm
46:06
sorry I'm busy get along so yeah as you were saying about
46:13
Phil's bright ass but that Patrina was wearing the yellow shorts and it was the same thing
46:20
there was a lot of contrast you can see all the movement there if he was wearing black shorts I feel like it wouldn't have been as much of a big deal I can't
46:28
wait to watch Even Adam had to say something about it he's like damn okay okay bisbing said something
46:35
about him not skipping leg day but I was like no he doesn't skip butt day like they're different days he he wor
46:43
glute it's all squats and uh what it's always disappointing when when guys
46:49
neglect the booty I'm like that thing needs that thing needs love too yeah that's where you get the power from work
46:54
it unfortunately it didn't help him I mean Jacob's booty was not nearly as rotun but that's neither here nor there
47:01
I think there's also experien Gap maybe a little bit just a little bit
47:06
um but yeah cop cops fight oh he was on fire that man I thought that I was
47:12
watching like in like two times speed yes that man is so fast he's so athletic
47:19
and and just impressive with his striking his balance like everything his takedown defense oh my gosh yeah yeah
47:26
was crazy it was nuts it was like when you see a cat play with a toy and they're just really going at it
47:33
like and then like as soon as uh Silva would come back at him he's out of the way out of the way out of the way make
47:40
him pay for it you know it was really cool to watch and then I was getting mad at Silva cuz he kept trying to land like
47:47
a spitting back Fist and every time cop just like
47:54
went I was more mad at all the the te kicks to the groin I'm like bro stop doing it yes that poor man the teep
48:01
kicks to the groin were so bad and then he had the nerve to complain about the
48:07
the body shot so I I watched it I was curious about that too but I it looked
48:13
like it was more of a body shot than a than a like a stab to the guts yeah like even and that hurts just the same it it
48:20
feels the same I I always felt like if I had anything to compare um a nutshot to
48:27
it would be a kick to the liver because it's kind of like Delayed Reaction like you it hits you and then yeah and then
48:34
you just fetal position you have your body just does it you have no choice yeah you're just like
48:40
trying to stay up but
48:47
no like it feels the same so I can I can get why someone would get confused
48:52
especially when their adrenaline's going and stuff but um it's just looked like a
48:57
skiff if anything it barely touched it and it was a clean knockout like he he
49:04
reacted so badly that you had to jump in there and stop it and it again it wasn't
49:09
like he was winning the fight in any sense uh cop was on top of things what
49:15
did you think about him like talking [ __ ] to Dana in between rounds I thought that was really funny and then finally
49:22
at the end of the fight Dana's like please go have your moment we'll talk later
49:27
like I don't know what he expected Dana to do he he won during the fight who was it uh one of the guys was it uh Fitz
49:34
Jerald he was like yeah he it seemed like he wanted him to hand him a contract out of his pocket right there
49:42
like what you I'm sure you'll see him in the hall later like you'll get called back to the Green Room it's fine I mean
49:47
I I like the point that he was making though I feel like he made a good case for himself especially because the
49:54
flyweight division has been cleared out by panta like who what are you going to do sign another guy if anything cop just
50:02
beat the guy or he beat the guy who they brought in in risen you know he beat
50:08
kakor he knocked them out in risen and for kakor to to fight and get that
50:14
opportunity and lose miserably that had to be a huge slap in the face for Manel
50:20
cop it's just after cop fought um oh my God m makv yeah I I was I didn't think
50:30
that it was going to be the trajectory to the title but after this performance yeah like I think it's it's what you
50:37
have to do it it is because if you're going to give some Outsider a
50:43
chance you got to give someone who is ranked lower a chance too if you don't
50:51
want to just keep seeing rematches over and over again well this is going to be a rematch technically
50:57
yeah but I think it's far enough away I the it baffles me every time I'm like
51:04
damn they fought already [ __ ] they did no they did but like everybody in this
51:09
like in this top five has literally fought each other yeah everybody's fought each other um so I think that he
51:16
just made an insanely solid case for himself to get the next title shot he did and and there's always recency bias
51:24
so they're going to have three weeks the mull over who's going to fight panoi next you know and that's a nice long
51:32
time to figure out like who is going to be the most exciting the
51:38
most fun even if they don't think that cop can win the fight they know it's going to be crazy yeah they know it's
51:44
going to be highlight RS fight of the night some kind of crazy finish like it
51:49
it's going to print money in itself so why not make that happen as opposed to someone who might go to decision with
51:56
him some who won't put it all in the line to beat him or who's already fought him a couple times I think that's a a
52:02
solid he made a solid case for himself so I can't wait to see who they end up
52:08
picking because yeah panto is going to be bored waiting around for someone to pop
52:16
up well he just fought so I think he's he's he can chill for a month or two
52:22
yeah yeah he'll be all right um
52:28
yeah well on that note what else on that little what else you want what else you
