[Music] there we go and we're we're ready I
0:06
couldn't hear you without I know that's why I didn't say anything I'm like she's not going to be able to hear anything I say CU her headphones aren't
0:13
on and we're back yay hey guys thanks for joining us
0:20
yo joining us for reals if you're watching us already the
0:25
button join do it um I am super excited about this Chris
0:34
Curtis string drama for some reason I it it makes me sad I really I'm
0:41
I'm such a fan of romances in the UFC there are some really beautiful like friendships that have you know been
0:47
created yeah on the roster and I just want everybody to you know stick together so when I hear that you know
0:53
something's not right it it makes me sad yeah like uh chamaya until I'm know are
1:00
they still together I mean I feel like they should be I didn't hear if anything happened or not yeah me neither but it's
1:07
just not the same since he's not in the UFC and if that's the reason that's very disappointing yeah yeah that would I
1:13
mean is Jamaya really in the UFC he
1:18
dabbles he's here and there he's probably fighting in some underground uh
1:24
Chic fighting League that's only for the Royal Chic families or something I mean
1:30
teaching his teaching their kids how to fight and stuff and shooting guns yeah I
1:36
don't know doing something really shady that would be in like a Arnold sweger movie
1:43
he's just so back and forth you know he's first he's going to retire and then he's calling for a title shot oh I just
1:50
want to see you fight bro oh did he do that yeah he did that again oh against
1:56
balow um no wait no what size is he 85 85 well he he tries to be 170 but so who
2:04
did he call out no he just said he wants the title shot next he was supposed to fight he got sick he pulled out he said
2:10
he was going to retire cuz his health yeah was the second time he said that and now after he said he's retiring
2:17
because of his health now he wants a title shot okay against Whoever has the title but he didn't specify which weight class
2:24
no whichever one will have me yes I'm not picky
2:31
um yeah what other bromances are there uh font and oh um what's his name calinar
2:41
yes yeah that's so cute and then we have morab and aljo yes I think that's my
2:46
favorite adorable that's my favorite for sure they're adorable I love them yeah yeah but Curtis and uh Strickland were
2:53
an interesting one because strigin is just so racist sounding and then his besties is black
3:00
dude and you can just imagine the types of conversations that they would have you know just like browing out together
3:07
and being like bro you can't [ __ ] say that bro and he's like I can say whatever I want this is America he's like yeah but you can't [ __ ] say that
3:14
bro like I feel like that would be every conversation that they have at least they can punch it out you know get over
3:20
things a lot faster when they can punch each other in the face no and I think uh half of people understanding each other
3:26
when it comes to uh issues where people can't I don't know agree upon is just talking
3:32
about it instead of getting caught up in your Echo Chambers and that's why I thought that those two were such an
3:39
interesting uh interesting Bromance because yeah they're just bringing
3:45
together some uh cultural diffusion that wouldn't normally happen
3:52
online well apparently this um the the beginning of the discourse uh
3:59
potentially from what we've read on Twitter the most reputable Source on the planet um is that there was a training
4:07
session where Curtis blad just wanted to drill and Strickland wanted to spar as
4:12
he always does and that was just the end
4:17
of it huh it was really sad yeah you know there's more to that for sure I'm
4:23
sure there's more to that I'm sure there was more and that was like I can't take it anymore yeah that's the straw that
4:30
broke the camel fighters can be notoriously uh known for being selfish
4:35
and you know very inward focused on their goals and which you have to be and so it sounded like um Curtis blades
4:42
needed to him to step up Curtis blades what did I say Chris ctis oh
4:50
yeah you're like no that's right ctis yes Chris Curtis have I been saying
4:57
that this whole time no no no that first time C Blaze just fought so that was
5:03
long your mind you didn't Leon Edwards bow so you're good dude I can't believe
5:09
he did that I still can't believe he did that on accident like it it did seem
5:15
like on accident but he wasn't mad at it because he was mad at the fat joke I
5:20
mean he could have been being a little undercover shady I mean DC is good at
5:26
that it's never really that undercover either I mean he's in the position he's in so
5:32
he can do what he wants I guess he's got control of the mic my mic
5:38
yes you can't talk anymore oh
5:43
man yeah I I I really I feel for uh Curtis though because he doesn't have
5:49
the same online Army and it seemed like he had to make a press release for not
5:57
being this guy's friend anymore it was weird how that happened right yeah well and I mean it's as Fighters we've always
6:05
been told that you know we have to be have an online presence and be very um
6:12
approachable and accessible so it's no surprise that you know people get really
6:17
involved and he felt like he had to kind of speak his truth and and defend himself a little bit yeah no I don't I'm
6:23
not mad at him for defending himself but I just think that he got forced into that position where a lot of people
6:31
might have just capit themselves yeah like not air your dirty laundry all over
6:39
the Internet well when your bestie is known for you know being very outspoken
6:45
Dirty Laundry dir laundry all over the Internet you got to be you got to be prepared with the press release for that
6:52
sort of thing that's why that's what we witnessed I mean that just makes you think that that guy's never going to
6:58
have any real F friends Happ like a challenging relationship for sure like if that's what happens when
7:04
you have a disagreement like that's hard that's a hard relationship and he's he's got some lessons to learn for sure yeah
7:10
well maybe uh coach Eric uh nisk can step in and play play a moderator I bet
7:19
he has him block too no I mean that's how everyone found out because Strickland saw that Chris
7:27
Curtis blocked them and he start started outou in that like posting screen grabs
7:33
and going oh my God bro you blocked me he sounds sounds a little uh upset
7:41
sounds a little sensitive sure very self-aware
7:47
mhm all right hopefully this will be a really good learning experience for him yeah you think they're going to get back
7:52
together I mean I saw a screenshot of an Edible Arrangements being sent so I hope
7:57
that that was a start if that doesn't work I think a boom box on his front porch lawn would uh be the next step
8:06
yeah playing some of that hardcore music that uh car just likes I forget what he said he wanted to
8:12
walk out to but they told him no it was like some metal music and uh he ended up
8:18
walking out to P Diddy cuz he was like well if they're not going to let me walk out to that I remember that and then
8:23
they let him walk out to P did and he's like really really guys you supposed to say
8:30
no now I have to walk out to P Diddy like oh we're okay with pedophiles really shot yourself in the foot with
8:36
that one guy we're okay with pedophiles just no metal music unless it's face the
8:42
pain it's a classic yeah so no we'll we'll keep our eyes on that romance but
8:49
um people wanted to know the drama that we were talking about with between Randa
8:57
and the rest of the people on tough M when we uh kind of alluded to it last
9:02
week yes we did so have never talked about this before well so it's the funny
9:07
thing is I didn't really experience Randa in the way you did because she was on your team so we only saw her in the
9:14
house she was really quiet um really didn't see much of her I did kind of
9:22
make fun of her one day uh when she did a face off it was the fa were you there
9:29
she faced off with Feliz Bubblegum and Feliz blew the bubblegum in her face and
9:36
she was so angry and so I think me and Beck reenacted it for the people who
9:41
weren't there no I was right there and I had a weird angle because I was on felisa's
9:47
team so I was like right behind yeah and I mean feliss was my friend and Randa
9:53
was not very nice to me so I was like well I'm clearly supporting Fel in this and I didn't know she was blowing a big
9:58
obnoxious [ __ ] bubble gum with her double Bubblicious chewing oh my God it was so bad I tried to talk to her a
10:04
couple times I'm like dude can you like not and she's like well I'm going to do what I want I was like okay oh man you are my
10:13
friend um sometimes you just got to support your friends even when they're being seaword oh my God yeah and then I
10:21
didn't realize a bubble was being blown and I just thought Randa like slapped her but she was slapping the bubble that
10:26
was like touching her skin so it's like all right that's that's fair yeah yeah that was a good reaction but I
10:33
think I think she was mad at me because I impersonated her and I did the walk
10:40
out all angry and like threw the shoes across the room and got into the scale
10:46
all mad and and that's like how she weighed in she had this that's how she cooked breakfast
10:53
yeah like that's how she stayed she stayed angry the whole time it was
11:00
exhausting she had a big chip on her shoulder for sure I don't know what you guys did to
11:06
her must have been something we tried to be friends with her but I remember at
11:11
the medical she had her headphones on her glasses on and like not talking to M I was like all right this is what she
11:17
needs to do to like get herself mentally prepared it's fine but anytime any of us
11:22
besides like Jojo tried to talk to her it was just it was just met with like yeah
11:30
really the Effy face yeah okay and that that's a lot coming from you because you are notorious for giving that face to
11:37
Stranges yes I know and I was like damn girl chill yeah why are you so
11:43
angry the [ __ ] you put the b in
11:49
RBF and even was too much yeah it was a lot what was it like after the show did
11:55
you guys still um she blocked me oh oh really just right away no I so I
12:01
mentioned that um you know I didn't realize it was that serious I thought that that's just kind of what she needed
12:07
to do while she was on the show for a competition because everybody responds differently every like different things
12:14
work for different people but I remember I went and we were all doing a jersey sign on the last day and I mean I had
12:19
just fought I broke my [ __ ] hand and I was like I was heartbroken like I lost a decision on the last day and I really
12:25
saw myself winning yeah um so I was sad but I was like you know what this is a once in A- lifetime experience like I
12:31
just need to embrace it and you know move forward so I was like all right you
12:37
know like there's there's no sense in holding on to any grudges or anything like that so I tried to get them to sign
12:42
my jersey and this [ __ ] just like walked away from me and I remember Jojo and her
12:49
were besties and JoJo was like um oh I she like said something
12:55
like weird and she's like oh I I don't know I I'll do it later and she just like walked away from me I was like really and I asked Ashley Ashley was
13:01
like really you want me to sign I was like yeah of course she's like okay I'm like yeah see it's not that hard ah got
13:08
to let things go but no they stayed angry what did you do to them nothing I remember one time I remember one time I
13:15
was actually really excited to meet JoJo cuz I thought she had really good striking and i' had seen her fighting Invicta we were both from Invicta and I
13:21
was you know talking to her while we were eating one day I was like oh man your striking is so awesome like I was trying to like just engage and ask
13:27
questions and she straight up went like wow I turn around I was like damn
13:35
when you were like on the same team and stuff yes that's so weird I'm not kidding you dude well I tried to uh be
13:43
friends with Joo too because my husband's Scottish I'm like hey you're basically family yeah you're Scottish
13:50
you do Muay Thai like yo like we're the same people basically I married into your family yeah so so I would try to
13:58
talk to her too she was really friendly at the tryy outs um and when we were first getting into the house but then
14:05
after they assigned teams she just would ghost me yeah like just would look past
14:10
me and not say anything she actually said something nice to me uh last time I was in like backstage with her and I
14:17
feel like that was the first time she said into me anything to me ever Wow since the show 10 years understand she
14:23
said ah no something I don't remember
14:31
you could never hear her and every time you would be like what did you say she would just lean closer yeah and then say
14:36
it in the same volume I'm like I I didn't understand like okay yeah but uh the the
14:43
reason I got like a little feisty at the post like at the rap dinner wasn't
14:49
because of Randa or JoJo it was because of ashn because
14:55
ashn that's how you say your name right she was talking [ __ ] [ __ ] about the fact
15:00
that I was on the show I remember that yeah and I got heated because I was
15:07
pissed that I had to fight the number one seed I ended up fighting KLA who you fought in the last round too and um and
15:15
even though I didn't win that fight I felt like there were a lot of people who I could have beat up especially Ashley
15:22
so she was kind of rapping on during dinner going hey hey I I don't think
15:28
that uh people like people like Angela who won in or who lost in the first
15:33
round shouldn't even have been on the show in the first place something like that and I do blame Angela bag
15:42
for putting some heat on that fire because she was at one side of the
15:47
table and I was at the other and she was kind of in the middle man was and she
15:53
went hey Angela did you hear that she would she's so terrible
15:59
said hey Angela and I was like what and I was already like I Angela Trill was
16:06
already peeking out like she was having a good time you know hugging people
16:13
being a little social butterfly and it takes a few drinks for me to get like that so when I heard someone was talking
16:21
[ __ ] I was like excuse me we don't need a cage to
16:27
fight we can fight right the [ __ ] here and like I just kept saying it over and over again like I think I was stuck on
16:34
repeat we can fight right the [ __ ] now and the coaches from our team were
16:40
like hedel hedel calm down like I'm like no no I think I said like
16:47
you don't want me to show my color like pulled out all the you know back in the
16:52
day insults of hand gestures yes lots of neck movements and hands snapping I
17:00
don't think I snapped but I literally snapped I was just like take the knife away from her excuse me yeah did you say
17:07
that dude I didn't even remember that part I had a we were at a steakhous I had a steak knife in my hand and I'm
17:14
like we can fight right now I don't need a cage I don't need a show let's [ __ ]
17:20
go so she uh she was very quiet after I love that girl yeah she's
17:28
awesome and I feel like because I try to be very
17:34
welcoming and nice to people uh people mistake that for weakness you know true
17:42
they think they can uh [ __ ] on you and you're not going to do anything about it
17:47
and she found out real quick that I'm not the weakest link this one has a backbone
17:54
yeah I'm just nice so you don't feel uncomfortable [Laughter]
18:00
uh but yeah that that really pissed me off and uh I remember um when I started
18:05
training at Alliance she came through the train but I was out of town and I was so angry about it I was like calling
18:13
uh Eric delier I was like texting people how long is she here tell that [ __ ] to
18:18
stay here I remember that my hand was broken so I couldn't train with her but I think she had that concussion thing
18:25
and she wasn't able to spar anything yeah she wasn't doing anything I I don't think she's fought since yeah
18:31
yeah goes to show you you know um not not Karma but just you know is I
18:38
don't know just be kind there's no reason there's no reason we're all we're all fighting for the same thing and you
18:44
know there's um a lot more ways that we can connect and support each other uh
18:51
rather than like tear each other down and it was a long time ago so I'm sure like all the girls on the show have
18:56
matured I know I have like I feel like I'm a lot more kind Than I Used to
19:06
Be and a lot more I guess um what do you
19:11
call it uh when you care about other people's feelings empathetic
19:17
yes a lot more empathetic of other people's Journeys and stuff because before I was like [ __ ] that [ __ ] I'm
19:23
[ __ ] her up blah blah blah and then you know you don't want to think about the person behind the fighter that you're
19:29
trying to fight and beat up and now it's kind of hard not to so uh yeah if any if
19:36
you girls are watching which I'm sure you're not or if it gets around to you just like the internet does yeah all love
19:43
over here hope to see you out in the wild one day I'll give you a big hug and a smooch that's permission first yeah
19:52
well high five a fist bump oh well what fights did you want to
20:00
break down on uh UFC Abu Dhabi which is taking
20:06
place um next Saturday on ABC oh ABC it's a ABC
20:13
card ABC yeah
20:18
soon yeah which fights are you liking on that one um so a fight to not
20:24
necessarily to pick to bet on because I think this is a tougher one I mean I know how I'm leaning towards but the
20:30
main event is really exciting to me so we have San Haagen versus uh little baby nrog Med
20:36
off um in the main event and it's going to be a really fun matchup in my mind I
20:43
don't know how it's going to play out I'm leaning towards Nong off he has a slight yeah he has a slight Edge Plus
20:50
he's like little khabib he's khabib's cousin yeah yeah you know he looks really good and he has good striking too
20:57
he uses his lead legs so well in everything's power he has great takedowns I think that San Haagen can
21:04
give him a little bit of trouble because he's a lot taller he has that 511 reach
21:09
and he's constantly switching stances so if he can stay on that kind of footwork and confuse and sprawl and stuff like
21:17
that um I think it'll make it really difficult for namaga off but I just see
21:23
him his chain wrestling and his pressure will kind of take that long linky frame
21:29
and get him down and control him yeah who did we see San Haagen last fight was
21:35
it ver it was Rob font yes he did a really good job against all of his uh
21:41
his last three wins uh Vera was just a pressure fight it was a decision win but
21:49
I mean it was a split decision win but it didn't deserve to be um but I'm trying to think of who oh the TJ
21:55
Dillashaw one that was one where he got wrestled and sat on a bit and he wasn't
22:02
I watch in reference for this fight yeah yeah and so that's why I'm giving naged off a slight Edge just because sandhagen
22:09
is great going forward when he's pressuring the wrestling against a striker he's really good but I feel like
22:17
Naga MF is going to put so much pressure on him and put him on his heels and not give Cory those opportunities to push
22:24
his grappling game the other thing is though um he's been figh fighting uh the
22:30
top of the top the cream of the crop for a long time and this is going to be um
22:37
more step up nur's first like big step up his first five rounder first five
22:43
rounder too yeah that's a lot to do that like the last guy he fought doesn't even have blue on his Wikipedia uh Rioni
22:51
barcelos is one of my favorite unranked fighters in that weight class he's
22:57
really good um just everywhere wrestling kickboxing he knocked him out with body kick so I think that gives uh a a lot of
23:05
Hope in his step up going forward but there's always that chance that someone
23:10
like Cory is going to be able to use the veteran this and and he's gotten so much
23:16
better since that dillas Shaw fight too I mean I feel like the Marlin Vera fight
23:22
was like the Peak Performance for him where he was just able to do everything
23:27
he wanted in that fight change level strike pitter patter change level again
23:32
get him to the ground not waste energy on the ground let him up hit him again so yeah I'm wondering how that's going
23:39
to look against a more aggressive fighter it's so it's hard for me to pick a winner for this one this is not like one that would be like yeah go ahead and
23:45
go ahead and on this don't bet on this one but I'm really excited about this one yeah well let me see how do you find
23:52
the ranking I mean not the rankings the odds for this stuff
23:59
the what the odds like the betting odds I think you can just Google betting
24:04
odds for UFC on
24:09
ABC I feel like the betting odds would give namaga
24:15
off an advantage too should we go to dual bits oh we
24:20
should that would make so much sense uh can we even go to dual bit soie probably
24:26
not it's not available in the US the freeto play game
24:33
is oh one one that I think is easier to
24:40
pick would be the co-main event and that's mameda versus o uh the he's a polar Striker
24:49
he's more of a boxer yeah and then magam medov is the the a that does not wrestle
24:55
he likes to strike sherah yes you think this one's easy to pick yes I
25:01
do I think that maau has a chance with us really because his sher's last fight
25:09
he looked like he was getting put on his heels I wasn't sure if he won that fight
25:14
um who was it who did he fight was it um let me see it was short
25:20
notice [Music] yeah he oh he knocked out choli and it
25:27
was short notice but but troli was giving him all sorts of problems yeah
25:32
but troli is a different kind of fighter he is but I know that uh maau really
25:38
puts people out of their game it's it's a it's a random he's like uh if you like
25:45
hit a jackpot you know it's really random when he's able to just come out
25:51
and explode and just knock people out but he doesn't it's a really weird one I remember when he was getting ready to
25:57
fight Kevin Hall and I was looking at his um at his fights and he's just he's
26:03
either hit or miss but when he hits it's big yeah like it's really big he uh
26:08
knocked out chitty and jakani who's a very well welled was at middleweight and
26:14
chitty is better suited at 170 yeah but I'm just saying it he's still a really
26:20
well-rounded fighter and I don't think sherah is
26:25
as good of a met off as we think he is maybe I'm just biased because he didn't
26:32
want to take photos with me at The Fan Experience oh this is what this is about he was like who this I didn't know about
26:39
this this woman in the photo of me over and over
26:44
again what yeah how did you hear about this this what do you mean I was
26:50
there so at International fight week I I thought I told you this you did not you
26:56
told your other white girlfriend I had so many stories from International fight week but this one actually stuck with me
27:03
um I was doing the fan experiencing you know how they take you into that little VIP lounge with all the VIP people who
27:10
paid the extra money to have a drink with a fighter so we're in the VIP lounge and there were a ton of people
27:16
there like uh cowboy Cerrone and uh Michael Chandler and just a ton of
27:21
Fighters um and so they were like oh hey you want to take photos with the fans real quick and then we can escort you to
27:29
your seat downstairs and I'm like yeah sure so they pulled me and Shera magedov
27:34
out to take photos with the fans and so we take one picture you kind of like
27:40
then we take another picture with a fan in the middle and then he's like and I had my little bra top outfit booer my
27:48
little bootier but I had a Blazer on I was being very uh very proper with your
27:54
mid DFT showing yeah just a little bit just a little bit no more than you'd see
28:00
in a fight you know I fight in less and um and then he talks to his translator
28:08
and he's like who's who's this girl in in my photos and the translator is
28:13
talking to him and then they were like oh yeah he he doesn't want to take photos we can't take photos with the
28:20
both of you in one picture you have to take photos separately wow yeah and so the
28:27
translator told told me that he told him that I have more fights than Donald
28:34
Cerrone and I'm actually an MMA fighter and he's like oh well I don't like watch
28:40
MMA fights he's like you know D dastani men they don't watch MMA fights or they
28:46
don't watch female MMA fights that's what I meant so this was like a whole thing so they had to separate the lines
28:55
and then take photos of each of us separately and then eventually I just walked
29:01
away yeah he's a he's a hella Diva he couldn't share the spotlight with a
29:07
female fighter because it is against I don't know whatever I was like is it a
29:12
religion thing or it just a cultural thing it's a I think it's a religious thing because but it's not like you were
29:19
touching no we weren't the fan was touching me and the fan was touching him at the same time so maybe it was like an
29:25
orgy to him oh my god oh [Music]
29:31
why uh so yeah I guess it uh really upset his morals and he did not want to
29:38
take photos well we should get that with me and fans we should get one of those photos and tweet it out into the Twitter
29:44
verse I know right look at me with my new
29:52
boyfriend oh man let me tell you what I do with that eye
29:58
but uh yeah that was a that was a funny little experience there and I've never
30:04
really been around dastani Fighters I've like never trained at Uka or anything so
30:12
I know that that's something that happens there was like when I was first training at um at my first very first
30:19
Jiu-Jitsu gym I trained with this uh hdic Jewish guy who he could roll with
30:25
me but he couldn't shake my hand at the end of class what yeah it was really weird feel like he got off on rolling
30:31
with me but but don't shake the hand don't touch another woman's hand that isn't your
30:37
wife's inter something like that it was something cultural religious or something some reason so I get it
30:43
there's cultural whatevers but it it's still real rude like homeboy you just
30:50
got here and you're coming into the US like you're acclimating you're be you're
30:56
an americ now basically I think it could have been handled differently yeah well he he seemed kind
31:02
of out there like when he was lined all the fans were lining up to take pictures
31:08
he was watching the fights happening like they're like he's
31:15
just yeah he he doesn't seem very um fan
31:21
friendly just not very uh housebroken ah
31:27
a bit feral yeah it's okay yeah so I mean that's why they like him but going
31:33
back to his fight I still I wasn't super impressed with him in his last fight and I know this maau guy can show up and do
31:42
random stuff it's like a coin toss though with him it is it is so I I feel like this isn't a good one to bet on
31:48
either really I feel like I hey if that's your lock then put it in I would
31:56
be cautious of that guy because like Kevin Holland was
32:01
just so many levels ahead but I feel like um Kevin Holland would handle that
32:06
guy as well Shara yeah I think so yeah um what about
32:12
Marlon Vera versus Davidson figuro so I'm leaning toward Davidson oh yeah yeah
32:19
just because it's a three- rounder Marlon is notoriously a slow starter and
32:25
he only has three rounds um and I think Davidson while I mean Marlin is always
32:31
dangerous and great at controlling range with those kicks I feel like Davidson just has a few more tools especially in
32:38
the grappling department and he's so fast and he has more of a tank now at the heav way it doesn't seem like a Sal
32:46
it's it's messing with him that range it seems like he's able to get past people's range and get his stuff going
32:54
um better than he could at at flyweight because he cut so much weight like he
32:59
looked really nasty against who was it is it Cody garbrandt mhm yeah he just
33:06
look he he's just been looking really good lately and I think moving up a weight class was the best thing he could
33:11
have done for himself so yeah I I think I I agree I feel like
33:17
that might be a lock even have Davidson figuro versus Marlon Vera just because
33:22
of the trajectory of how they've been doing lately Marlon Vera just being a habitual slow starter and against
33:30
Davidson you can't get away with that and I feel like even against people that Marin Vera has had to gone had to start
33:38
fast with he still starts slow MH and if he's lucky he might drop him yeah but
33:45
usually doesn't happen I'm leaning towards Figaro uh for D godz I'm picking
33:51
d That's a lock for me yeah godas just does not do well against people with
33:56
submission skills no she freaks out about it but she does not one thing I'll do I'll say to throw a little wrench
34:02
into your whole theory is that she was attacking versus Vera like she didn't
34:08
seem as afraid of vna's uh grappling as you would think and if anything it made
34:13
the fight a lot closer than it should have been MH so if she's still going on this path of her Grappler Journey facing
34:21
her fears of um being submitted and jumping into that fire and making people
34:26
work for it I think I think she's going to have a better chance but like we were talking with the Striking with d she
34:32
hits so [ __ ] hard and she's only throwing hard to either hurt you or jump
34:38
on top of you like there's there's no other game plan she's just going to try to throw really hard she might miss she
34:45
might get countered but eventually she's going to grab on forward yeah and she has like this caveman hit like she's not
34:52
gonna she's not g to stop she absorbs damage very very well she loves it it's like she likes getting uh getting hit
35:00
just because it tells her that she's closer to your body and she could grab you and climb up you and grab an arm or
35:07
get a choke or something like that so yeah I feel like that's my lock um for
35:12
this card too mckeny D um probably gonna either decision or submit luup godz I'm
35:20
going to say submission she just she's a completely different Grappler than VNA and both are extremely talented
35:26
Grapplers but very different and I just think McKenzie's pressure and aggression
35:32
are going to put ly in a really tough position yeah I would say lean more
35:38
towards decision just because lopy does a good job of uh locking up and just
35:45
surviving when she gets into a bad position she does a good job of exploding up too uh so I feel like if
35:53
anything D's going to get on top of her and make her defend the whole round and she's not going to going to be able to
35:58
get any offense off so that's kind of how I see that one going and you skipped
36:04
over who did I skip over you skipped over Mr Ferguson versus Michael kza oh I
36:11
did didn't I how did I not it's not even on my write up but I don't need to have
36:16
notes for that one so when it comes to Underdog
36:22
pics IAC see fuson beeden CH I mean on
36:27
paper all other factors taken out of it I think it's a fun fight it's a fun
36:34
fight for sure um it's not one where you're afraid of Ferguson getting beat
36:39
up pummeled um getting more brain damage it it's always scary when you see that
36:45
much red in someone's Wikipedia and someone's typology like you lost a lot
36:51
in the last few years and with Kessa at least you know if he loses it's probably
36:57
going to submission um they're probably similar when it
37:04
comes to like speed on the feet I don't think that this is I just feel like this
37:09
is a fair fight it's not one of these young guns versus Tony Ferguson to make a name for themsel like P pet um this is
37:18
some these are two people who could have fought already they're just fighting now so yeah go ahead sorry well no I was
37:25
just going to say that's that's why I like this fight for Ferguson um but also
37:31
Kessa has a weakness with head and arm chokes MH anytime the arm is close ahead
37:37
Guillotines head and arm chokes which is crazy because he's so good at Guillotines right like what is his
37:44
problem how does that work where you're really good at something but you also
37:49
get submitted with it all the time and it's kind of like me with arm bars no but I don't understand no but
37:57
you don't have like five armar losses on your record Michael kesa does yeah he
38:03
has maybe five bra choke Guillotine head and arm choke different kind of they're
38:10
different but they're kind of the same his arm gets his shoulder gets too close to his neck and he goes out yeah you
38:16
know so I'm wondering why that keeps happening to him I don't know it's kind of like
38:23
um some some people just have their Kryptonite like chelon and you know loves to get armbarred maybe it's cuz
38:30
his shoulders are so big maybe just slides right in I I think this is a fair
38:35
fight but I I mean just based upon like the body of work I have to give Kessa an edge yeah and that's who I would pick
38:43
yeah but if the odds are really I need to find out these odds find these odds I need to find these odds if the odds are
38:50
really going to make you some money put a hundred bucks on Ferguson man like what's the worst that can
38:56
happen you'll make up for the difference in some way shape or form yeah just do a a parlay the other way and you'll be
39:03
fine but I feel like the odds are going to be really um loaded when it comes to
39:15
kesa you looking try yeah I'm trying to oh I found it oh I got it too you go
39:21
you go first um so for oh oh sorry I was scratching my
39:28
throat I was like what is happening I forgot I was in a mic oh my God uh so Cory Ur nag is a
39:38
slight betting favorite okay um I see uh Ferguson is a huge
39:46
Underdog yeah of course minus four or plus 410 I feel like you can waste a little
39:53
money on that yeah that might not be a bad one I mean so many people hit me up
39:58
after my last win saying they put me on a parlay with a submission win over
40:04
Pinero and they made a lot of money heck yeah so I feel like that
40:11
that's a a safe one to play around with mhm you could do two different
40:21
ones no okay well I just found the one for for that fight apparently I put in
40:26
for the hard
40:33
but difficult um yeah we need to get on our
40:38
our Reddit I think if you go to ufc.com too
40:43
it shows you um so Davidson is minus 135 Cheto Vera plus 115 D -75 lupas plus 150
40:55
Michael Kessa minus 450 Tony Ferguson plus
41:02
350 yeah it only has like half the odds on ufc.com yeah this one's on Reddit oh
41:09
Reddit a yes don't spend too much time on there you'll become an
41:14
inel we're gonna get out of here real quick yeah oh um I'm surpris well I
41:20
guess I'm not but I think Corey San Haagen is a safe one to bet on if you're going to go for Underdog too but
41:28
yeah I think Umar might show up and show out on that one yeah I mean especially
41:34
since we just got wind of um khabib doing the game plan and strategy for
41:41
bal's fight oh yeah that's true so a fighter cannot lose with him in his
41:46
Corner yeah it's really a superpower isn't it yeah having that guy there yeah they've always talked about what a good
41:52
like coach and Mastermind he is and it's definitely it's definitely showing that he's revealing it yeah well is there
41:59
anyone else that you would highlight on the prelims I kind of feel like a safe
42:07
bet as well would be Sam Hughes over Victoria
42:12
durova I could see that I was going to say menifield okay um over
42:19
murov mov I can't I can't say that right I don't know anything about muranov but
42:26
uh field is like a Minefield he destroys people's heads so so the
42:34
fights that I've seen from mov mov um I mean he's a heavy hitter he
42:43
he's you know he has Kos on his record and stuff like that he's just not quite as athletic and
42:50
explosive and uh puts things together the way menifield does I feel like metafield is just a wrecking machine
42:56
yeah and so I would say that he's a pretty safe bet what was Mini's last fight didn't he rush in against uh
43:03
someone and get knocked out orberg yeah that's what it was yeah but you can't compare those well no I
43:10
was just thinking um if anything that was a great lesson to learn it's like
43:16
the MMA math thing we were talking about he rushes in against this guy gets knocked out in 10 seconds he's never
43:22
going to do that again no you're never going to get that path of Victory against him again so if anything he's
43:29
going to be a little more patient look for his shots a little better and not
43:34
just try to get the fight started immediately and put himself in danger so yeah I like that one too um if ASAT is
43:42
say bad as you say he is but uh the Victoria dudakova
43:48
girl I she is she's been winning but not
43:55
very uh not against very great competition and I think um Sam Hughes
44:03
has just been battle tested she work won some lost some but she will grind you
44:09
out yeah like you said she's a Workhorse she knows how to win a fight if she has the ability to I don't see dakova having
44:17
more skill than her and more grit than her to be able to eek out a decision I
44:23
agree and if she's lucky she's GNA have another staff infection I remember that oh my gosh I would hate
44:30
to say you shouldn't have been in a place like the
44:35
Octagon I wish you told me that before I signed before I stepped in the cage yeah
44:41
don't do that again yeah you know how bad that could get give someone merca or
44:46
something and I mean contaminate the canvas it like survives on surfaces for
44:52
a time that's what I'm saying she could give the whole fight card something that happened to me early in um I think it
44:59
was like my third fight I after I fought and I was one of the later fights on the
45:04
card and after I fought I had like a ringworm everywhere like the whole the
45:09
whole fight card pretty much had it if you fought after a certain a certain opponent I don't know who it was either
45:15
dang I don't know who it was who was the outbreak monkey exactly I always want to know but it was in um it was like a
45:22
wrestler it was a boxing ring it was battle in the ballroom and so the yeah
45:27
the tarp that we were fighting on just absorbed and petri dish kind of thing
45:33
for us so gross it was bad it was bad I on antibiotics for that [ __ ] yeah cream
45:40
wasn't going to solve that you rub all the cream on your body
45:45
you want take a bath and got to take an oral you're just going to turn into a
45:51
worm oh it's so gross I hate when people don't take ring worms seriously it just
45:57
and stuff seriously and when I heard that about that girl H it was it was just disgusting no it's frustrating it
46:04
super frustrating like just pull out of the fight but I understand I think she's one of those people who can only fight
46:10
in certain areas for some reason um so she's only been on like the Saudi Arabia
46:16
cards or not the Saudi Arabia the um where is this place Abu Dhabi abh yeah
46:21
she's only been on those cards like the Middle East cards it seems like so um for whatever reason she can only fight
46:28
out there so maybe that was why she decided to risk her health and the health of everyone else on the card by
46:34
showing up see I was just talking about how selfish Fighters are inward focused hey if she becomes Champion everyone
46:41
will do it oh God that's the thing it's like what it's like what um uh uh what's
46:48
his name Tom aspinal was saying he kept talking about dipping his hands in gas I love that he was trolling so hard I love
46:54
it it's so good it's so just shows another side of his personality that you didn't expect but you love that it's
47:01
there yeah but yeah he was like Hey if I get this knockout everyone's going to
47:06
start doing it and then he was like okay I didn't do it please don't please don't risk do it it's probably really bad for
47:14
you it's probably a myth I bet they never did that really I I feel like
47:19
gypsies did I bet the petrol is different then though maybe like it's gas I bet it happened it it it probably
47:27
happened but it was probably some different stuff it's like when you see cowboy movies and they have the whiskey
47:32
it doesn't it didn't look like that back then no for sure it was like cloudy like
47:37
milk yeah I just read that oh I feel like such a history
47:44
buff yeah but yeah maybe it was a different type of petrol that didn't give you hand
47:52
cancer who knows um well uh that that is our preview for
48:00
UFC on ABC in Abu
48:05
Dhabi next week oh my God stop I'll be
48:10
