[Music] now I'm recording hey and
0:07
hello what a night yes you can't tell it's uh 88: a.m. which is very much uh
0:16
not the time I like to wake up on a Sunday but here we are talking about
0:22
fights cuz we're amped and we can barely sleep last night so excited dude UFC 300
0:27
was so good I don't know what we did to deserve such an event H but I'll take it
0:34
we fight for the company I feel like it was if anything it was payment to us aside from you know but something we had
0:40
to actually pay for yeah which is weird weird to me
0:46
altogether still have to pay for Fight Pass too it's if only we were at the press conference we could have asked
0:53
Dana when he was giving out all the [ __ ] he's like oh you can have custom shorts
0:58
oh you can have um 300K for the bonuses hey Dana can we get
1:03
free Fight Pass absolutely I'm in such a giving mood can we can we not have to pay for
1:09
UFC 300 or any other pay-per-views or any pay-per-view I mean I feel like when I
1:16
heard that 300K I was like you guys you could
1:21
afford that every single fight you really could yeah and then as I was you know clicking on the button to purchase
1:28
the Pay-Per-View for $80 after budgeting your account making sure you making sure I'm
1:35
not going to withdraw overdraw any accounts uh I uh I didn't buy at least
1:43
three avocado toast this month so I can afford the pay-per-view see you're smart I
1:48
like I just there's money in there so I'm like it's fine it's fine and I'm like oh wait now I can't do now we can't
1:55
do this okay oh no never learned how to budget they should have added that into our uh ele Elementary School curriculum
2:01
I know right they tried they tried with the athlete retreat but it I think it was kind
2:07
of not the right move they they didn't get the right people to educate no the
2:13
fighters no and then they made us watch Ballers did you have to watch Ballers no it was so sad wait what so it's a
2:22
through that one we just didn't wake up for it um it was it was uh it's a
2:29
documentary I forget who did it maybe like HBO or something like that is that The Rock one no that's uh that's a
2:36
miniseries oh okay HBO did that one okay uh but this one is called Ballers and
2:42
it's basically like what it sounds like they have a bunch of EX ball players who have
2:49
basically um spent all their money and they you know were making millions and
2:55
millions on top of the world buying everything that their heart desired and now they're like left with nothing that
3:00
most of them had a file bankruptcy um it it was really really sad yeah and they had some God I don't
3:08
want to say like like Dion Sanders type level people I don't know I don't remember if he was in it or not it was a
3:13
long time ago and I get punched in the head for a living so I don't exactly remember a lot of details sometimes I
3:19
get my days confused sometimes I forget what year it is yeah but it was just
3:24
really sad and they were just you know just kind of trying to give some insight and education to young and upcoming
3:31
athletes um I kind of glazed over at certain points CU I'm like this does not actually pertain to me we don't make
3:38
enough Millions for this to be a problem that we would have this yeah it doesn't really
3:45
translate well but I get what you're saying put money away for the taxes they needed to have that meeting with the
3:52
four people that actually make money that's close to that which is like Jon
3:58
Jones Ronda Rousey McGregor and that's probably it yeah that's kind of it
4:04
that's kind of it that's probably it um yeah it would have applied to them better and they've already done their
4:11
thing with it so yeah I think they're good um the fights though were insane
4:18
and you could tell that everyone was hyped about that 300K like everybody fought like they
4:24
were trying to earn that 300K which was very very much appreciated yeah well
4:29
there was was one moment where um I think it was the first fight uh and I
4:34
remember watching like an Instagram video uh who was it it was uh blond Brunson he posted a video he was like
4:41
this is what every fighter is going to be throwing like after they heard about 300K and he's like hit in the bag all
4:47
crazy and then he throws a will kick and sure enough Cody Garand throws a wheel kick in the beginning of his fight
4:54
versus biggy it gets kicked in the chest trying to do it and I'm like oh [ __ ] everyone's going to be doing wild stuff
5:01
that they haven't practiced in fight camp that they I'm going to bring this out for a special occasion yeah they
5:08
haven't done it on pets they didn't talk to their coaches about it they're just going to go wild and crazy because they
5:13
want that 300K yeah everybody was freaking out in the corners I remember who I don't even remember who it was but
5:21
they kept telling them calm down calm down oh no it was gaii they kept telling gaii like like uh like be patient just
5:28
chill it was in the first round and then when he got his nose broken they were like just go D just go we need a knock
5:33
out yeah but um yeah there was no holding back from anyone everybody
5:38
brought it it was absolutely amazing yeah no holding back except for uh the
5:43
Alo fight where he literally held the guy down and back I mean he Calvin he
5:50
threw a couple kicks in there a couple naked kicks as we refer naked so naked
5:56
yeah he uh he restrained the [ __ ] out of that guy it was like a a drunk guy at the bar
6:03
that you're just bro bro just chill just chill calm down Bro Look do you need a ride home you there's a cab outside
6:11
where do he live like that's that's what Al he would make a great bouncer actually wouldn't he he would he would
6:18
never hurt anyone stop it I love Alo no I'm just
6:24
I'm just joking but it was uh it was a really um eye openening fight for him
6:29
because like he looked big in there he was dominant in that fight like after
6:35
that like I was surprised how easily he handled him because this was the fight where I was like uh I don't know like he
6:42
might regret making that decision going up against these bigger guys and then you see him um you know trying to get
6:48
the takedowns over and over again and like you hope that his gas tank can last because takedowns they G you out
6:54
especially against bigger guys but he was he was fine yeah I mean eljo always comes in shape and I thought that the
7:02
the Striking range would be an issue for him however I I love me some Calvin CER but
7:10
he he does have a big gaping hole in his ground game and it's takedown defense we've seen that time and time again so
7:18
it was a risk with him trying to close the distance however once he got in there um ker just really was on the on
7:26
the defense um unfortunately it it was a great introduction into the
7:31
featherweight division though yeah and I'm interested to see you know where he goes into the rankings and what's next
7:37
for him I feel like it could be depending on who the matchups are I feel like it could be a quick trip to the Top
7:44
If he doesn't run into you know some technical uh matchup issues yeah I I got
7:50
to check out the uh featherweight rankings right now um but like ker was
7:57
ranked like number eight or something right yeah yeah so that's a big jump like suddenly he's there he's in there I
8:03
remember um we were talking to Rose she fought the number two girl and lost and
8:09
was surprised that she wasn't in the rankings with a win there's a really uh good chance that he could be number four
8:16
five something like that just because you think that big that big a jump I mean there's a chance there's a chance
8:22
I'm not saying it's going to happen I mean we are talking about aljo notoriously disliked by the rankings by
8:31
the fans but uh apparently he was not getting the hate that he usually gets
8:39
this week interesting yeah I wonder why that was because you're still fighting
8:44
like you know Boston guy American guy or whatever I think maybe just the whole um
8:50
the whole leadup to his title his not the leadup but him gaining the title the
8:58
weird ways that it was was defended I feel like man it was just a really rough
9:04
uh reign as a champion for him when it came to the relationship with the fans so he kind of put that behind him and
9:10
now he gets to come in with a clean slate yeah I think that I mean I think
9:16
that he didn't do himself any favors early on in his career with how he was showing up and I don't think it was necessarily authentically him would in
9:23
what way well just he was being Brash and outspoken and you know the Persona that he was putting forward I don't
9:28
think it was really genuinely him and I think that people picked up on that and it gave them a reason to want to fire
9:34
back um as as it tends to do with MMA fans you mean a black guy was confident
9:41
in his abilities I'm not saying it's right I am not dare it's right how dare
9:48
you aljo don't believe in yourself I'm not saying it's right however but that's that is the way it
9:55
goes a lot of times yeah sometimes people will pick up on like one little you said and just hold on to it and then
10:01
they wait in the folds for for their opportunity to go off like they did our boy Jamal yes oh my God bro you guys
10:10
need to chill I I woke up and I know you did too we woke up to um notifications
10:15
on our on our Instagram post from weeks ago or at least one week ago like at
10:22
least a month ago yeah this was that first clip that we posted when they first uh announced the fight
10:29
and that was that was a while ago you know that was a while ago that was a while and so crazy that um you know the
10:37
the MMA trolls have uh maybe they they bookmarked it they did they circled back
10:42
they're waiting for their opportunity to come and gloat and and do what trolls do this aged well bro you guys you guys
10:51
you're showing your asses right now get a life the yeah the thing is [ __ ] who
10:56
what do you look like when you're the guy who Waits two months to write this
11:02
age well like get on a dating app you yeah go go outside move out of your
11:09
mom's house she probably doesn't like you anyway like get do her a favor get
11:14
out of there come on come on it's too much um yeah that fight I felt horrible
11:22
for Jamal Hill he's he's a friend of ours um we've seen his come up I I still
11:28
feel like he doesn't get the respect that he deserves um just because of the way that he was able to knock out a
11:35
bunch of people get his work his way to the title shot beat Glover teex sah which is not like you know a easy feat
11:43
to accomplish and then to take this fight first fight back after such a horrendous injury not that much time to
11:51
prepare either like we were talking to him about it when we interviewed him um
11:56
which you can watch on our two straws p page and you know he he had to jump
12:02
right back into training as soon as he was cleared the cleared the train and you're kind of going through that same
12:08
thing where you cleared the train you're jumping back into training and it's rough it is rough a year out he had
12:16
about a year out too and man tell us tell us how you're feeling Jess I'd like to
12:23
interview how's how's returning to fight camp or TR
12:29
rather [ __ ] rough in preparation for a fight eventually it is it's rough I
12:35
was like yeah I'll be back in the summer probably not till fall our winter that's what we're looking at sitting sitting
12:41
for a year especially with I mean he had he had a very extensive injury I've had
12:46
I've had a broken foot with some setbacks in it and to I mean to be able to train around
12:53
that there's really no way you can train around it yeah when it's like that low in your body yeah weight bearing it's
13:00
the foundation for everything that an athlete does so it takes a lot a lot of
13:06
time he could have done a a year of arm bar drills
13:11
girl I was doing I was doing lifting I was doing mental training every time I try to do
13:18
something I would I would you know mess it up or I would slow the healing process so I was just like finally they
13:24
just put me in a boot for I mean it ended up being like five or six months in a boot yeah just because the thing
13:30
wouldn't heal so when you when you're injured like that and you're coming back from basically like a zero and as you've
13:37
you've mentioned this before like well you're an athlete you're never really back to zero yeah you're you're always
13:44
you know a little bit better we're we are athletes we we do know how to take care of our bodies and we do know how to
13:50
you know keep relatively in shape for you know I I guess it's it's better than
13:55
being a normal human yeah yeah you're not starting from the first day you walked into the gym you still have the
14:01
muscle memory you still have you know all the things that you remember how to do but it's still you have to get your
14:07
body used to moving the way that you used to used to like moving fast you got
14:13
to get your cardio back up you have to get like muscles triggering again there's going to be atrophy from not
14:19
doing the same movements that you're used to doing every day for the last five years all of a sudden it's like if
14:24
you're bedridden you know all of a sudden walking is hard that is same thing with training if you can't train
14:31
all of a sudden a a just a shot takes all the wind out of you you know one
14:38
little submission that one submission that you were hitting on everyone you try it on the white belt and you're
14:45
gassed because all those muscles that clench up they're tired they haven't
14:50
done it in a while so there's a lot of uh of your body relearning how to just
14:56
be strong and you're talking about coming coming back in Fall he had to come back in one season exactly you know
15:04
he had to come back he he started training I think December he said he had to come back to today that's one season
15:11
he he had winter to get ready for this and it it's it's it really is
15:18
impressive that he was able to go through that camp do everything he needed to do and show up and put on this
15:24
fight because it takes two to tango and everyone who's running into the comments like talking their [ __ ] like you guys
15:31
are keeping that man paid so good on you good job yeah yeah he's one of the
15:37
millionaires he now he can watch Ballers thanks to
15:42
you you did it guys well done I hope that was your intent yes you trolled him
15:48
into having so much money thank you yo but how good does
15:54
Alex Pera look like I was not really on the Hy train yet because he had a couple
16:00
tough fights at like heavyweight I felt like the move up was almost showing that
16:06
he wasn't as scary as he looked at middleweight like he was he was just a big old size bully and that's it he's
16:12
still a size bully he's still huge and then in the press conference he was talking about going up to heavy weights
16:18
[ __ ] [ __ ] he could he could that is how large this human is and I it
16:25
came up um a couple times from the broadcast channel when they were talking about like Holloway they were like oh
16:31
you know he put on so much I was like first of all he didn't put on muscle for this fight it's impossible to put on that much muscle for this fight it just
16:38
shows like these people are cutting so much weight they are so big for their
16:43
division yeah and they have to be so strict with with the regimen and getting
16:49
down in that weight class like it is it is a science they do it very very well but uh for somebody to be successful at
16:57
a higher weight class says a lot about how much weight they're cutting yeah yeah it's um it I think Max was always
17:05
just a big old linky guy and now that he's moved up he's really filled into
17:11
that size he had um who was it that he fought um was it gatei he fought gatei
17:17
last time yeah he fought gatei last time he moved up and it was just it was just
17:23
a well he f g last night oh no not gagei um was it Ed did who did Max fight when
17:30
he moved up I forget and it was like super short notice and everyone was like
17:35
that was a bad idea Max I thought it was like Eddie Al or
17:40
somebody but I don't think it was um I just remember a lot of people were just saying you're too small you know
17:46
everyone was saying you're too small for that weight class um and let me
17:54
see it was Dustin sorry
18:00
huh oh yeah he offered he offered yeah he almost F could be but uh Dustin
18:06
Dustin porier was the one that he went up up and weight to fight and um and you
18:11
know it was a gutsy performance but he didn't look like himself and everyone was just like ah you should that that
18:18
was a bad idea blah blah blah now that he's had this like crazy performance I think people are going to be more like
18:24
oh [ __ ] did you see everybody everybody panned to Il toria's face oh my go he
18:32
looked like he saw a ghost oh he was like he looked like he looked like um a sad puppy he
18:40
really did it was really weird like he looked like he just got yelled at by someone like don't no put it
18:49
down well I think I think because he called out uh Ilia but then he also
18:54
called out uh Islam he was like Islam likes to fight featherweights too so
19:00
let's make that happen and like I think Ilia just assumed that they weren't going to look at him since he already
19:06
moved on he was processing oh I'm still here
19:11
he was processing you got to stay ready for those cameras yeah man they're going to Champ yeah yeah so is he thinking
19:18
about going back down I don't know I don't know I feel
19:24
like this could have been just a you know an opportunity and see how it goes and now that has gone
19:29
well why not yeah I mean it just it really opened up a lot of possibilities for him in his career and doing what he
19:36
wants to do I mean Holloway is one of those guys he was such a dominant champion and and yes he's lost the belt
19:42
however like he's not you know being sent off to pasture like he's he's at one of those spots where I feel like
19:48
he's put in so much he's been a company guy he's you know really delivered fights and he can kind of do what he
19:55
wants to do for his career for his legacy I feel like that's kind of where he is right now yeah yeah and it's funny
20:02
because I didn't really consider this an exhibition fight like a a fight where
20:08
he's just moving up for the opportunity to fight for this BMF belt I was feeling
20:14
like this was his introduction into the lightweight Division I mean now that he's won yeah if he lost maybe not yeah
20:20
I'm going to go back down with the other featherweight this for fun this is just for UFC 300 and for the fans for 300K um
20:27
600 $ 600 $600,000 and that man does not need money oh my God he's one of those people
20:33
that has fought so much uh with the belt that he's hopefully he has put the money in the bank man well that performance
20:41
though he's just man his stardom was already up
20:49
there and he just skyrocketed it like skyrocketed it like um last time he did
20:56
the hey right here nothing happen like they they swung it was a great moment it
21:01
ended up in all of his highlight rules but nobody dropped so I feel like gatei was kind of like all right we can do
21:07
that yeah why not and then bam one second left I
21:14
think that's like movie style ending that is like Babe Ruth level like uh not
21:23
infamy uh what What's the [ __ ] word um it's too early
21:29
notoriety thank you notorious not notoriety um that's like that's the shot
21:36
her round the world [ __ ] man it is so crazy because it was like you had the foreshadowing too with the with the
21:43
previous fight with the whole come up and then you have this fight at the end of the movie it was so scripted it felt
21:51
so unreal like you're saying uh it was magical I was just like how is this real life real life is more crazy than any
22:01
stupid Roadhouse movie come up yeah oh my God just you
22:07
have see I know I know you have to see it I have to this fight was more unbelievable than roadh house which is
22:14
saying a lot it's saying a lot like the only thing that would make it I'm not getting
22:21
that reference damn it yeah well I can imagine Conor McGregor walking walking
22:27
into the cage ha naked after that fight because because
22:32
it was more unbelievable than Roadhouse you're going to have to watch it I guess I'll have to watch it to get it sorry guys got the time I'll be gone for a
22:39
week so you have all that time to catch up okay dude that fight was amazing um
22:45
there was a moment where I felt like gatei was maybe G to win it there was
22:51
there was a second I think in the fourth round where he just started getting his hooks through he started landing on him
22:58
and I was just like oh [ __ ] he might he might pull this off and I really felt
23:05
sad for Max at that moment because he had done such a good job up until that point and I didn't want I didn't want
23:12
the guy who seemed like the better fighter that night to just lose because the other guy is too tough but that's
23:19
Justin Gate's game he's always been too tough to get knocked out he's always been that guy who could just like you
23:24
know weather the storm and then P hit you when you least expect and almost did that in the fourth I am such a huge
23:31
gatei fan like I've always been he's always been one of those Fighters where I'm like I'm going to show up and watch
23:37
him because he always delivers when loser drw and he's such a cool guy too he he is one of those guys I say this
23:43
all the time I'm like uh when I likes him I'm like I just want to have a beer with that guy I just want to like chill hang out I know that like he would just
23:50
be awesome we hung out with with him at like the airport bar after one of your fights just coolest guy ever um side
23:56
note it was after The Zing y fight and you won and he Justin gatei told me that
24:03
I won that fight so he's always going to be in my cool person book for that
24:08
moment he was like you know comes down to human era and the human era was the
24:15
judges that's what he was talking about so
24:20
toi forever so I I was just in in awe and admiration of his of his toughness
24:28
his grit his perseverance because he faced adversity really early on and he had to
24:34
fight through that yeah for five rounds yeah and there there's man I mean
24:40
fighter fighters are tough but he's on another level of toughness in and I I
24:46
was just like holy [ __ ] you know what I'm a wuss I am you know complainant about my
24:52
foot complaining about this complaining about that and this man just fought five rounds with two eye pokes a broken nose
24:58
and getting dropped multiple times like he almost got kicked out of the cage like he was he looked like he was about
25:04
to turn around and walk out like you know what I'm out of here actually I
25:09
forgot I left uh the stove on wait wait what what what' you say d wait I I'll be
25:15
right there I'm on my way all right oh I just like uh it's just incredible to
25:22
watch somebody like that yes that's why they fought for the BMF Bel you know and uh it really is uh great
25:30
when when they live up to the hype when they live up to that opportunity I think
25:36
that's I I think that's what the UFC really loves more than title fights it's just okay these people have consistently
25:44
shown up in a certain way consistently just put their life on the line to be entertaining and they reward him for
25:52
that I think that's really awesome to see
25:59
such a great fight man I I feel like fighted a year like we we were watching
26:05
in a bar and just the reaction to that last second knockout everyone went
26:12
insane that is going to be a fight that goes in UFC Hall of Fame yeah you know
26:17
they just announced the the um the Anderson Silva versus chel sonin fight
26:25
going into you know the history books and that's you know what other fight could be in in there
26:32
with them and that's the fight you know that is yeah I I just hope that when they make the Max hallay Movie that's
26:38
the end like bam all right walk off into the sunset
26:46
yeah um speaking of uh belts what did you think about the female title
26:52
fight it was quite uh the uh exciting match it was a lot of back and fourth
26:59
there were surprisingly surprisingly yeah I was like oh wh's got this she's better everywhere but wh doesn't like to
27:06
strike anymore I feel like no she looks uncomfortable on the feet which is wild
27:12
well I mean to be fair Yan is you know a big strong uh sharp Striker so I feel
27:20
like um you know looking at the footage that's that's the fight that I would or that's the fight strategy that I would
27:26
have gone to with her uh but you are right o has like she is a
27:31
good Striker but I've just noticed her like becoming a Grappler I definitely noticed that I feel like that is the
27:37
strategy that I would have gone with though had I been matched up cuz you're a Grappler
27:43
well I can throw punches too I can throw some straight and some you know loopy
27:49
things yeah well I fought her um what year is that it was like 2018 or
27:54
something like that 2018 it was a while ago but when i f her um I was
28:00
comfortable standing with her and when I think of wh I think okay Striker versus
28:07
Striker and I should have known because in her limos fight it was a lot of
28:13
grappling and she also looked uncomfortable on the feet but I figure oh she just knows that the ground is
28:21
where she's going to win this fight she knows that limos will just sit on her back and you know work to get up she's
28:27
not going to throw up submissions and uh no she she really when I think back to
28:32
that fight she really looked uncomfortable past the point of like how a striker could look uncomfortable from
28:38
getting hit if that makes sense like she didn't seem to be happy standing and banging or slipping or or landing on her
28:46
she just wanted to grab and then in this fight it was even more apparent every time she came in she was getting nailed
28:52
with the with the cross she was getting nailed with like you know check Hooks and then kind of getting stopped in her
28:58
path on her way to change levels I feel like uh I don't know maybe just all the
29:04
wars that she's been in cuz she's been in a ton of Wars maybe she's finally feeling that uh that life of the chin
29:11
draining away like hey it's the the GSP switch you know yes yes it's uh I mean I
29:17
I feel like once somebody experiences like a bad knockout for the first time
29:23
it'll it'll make somebody re-evaluate their you know strategy training style
29:29
fighting style all those things so I think that that potentially could be what's happening you know it's it's
29:35
important as the champ to to keep the belt and you know find the fastest road to Victory and the safest uh especially
29:42
for longevity still want to you know stay on top as long as you can so I kind of see that that's that's what's
29:49
happening I mean GSP is the the primary example for that and people would say oh
29:55
he's he's boring he's this and that but but he was doing the best thing for
30:01
himself as a champion to keep that belt yeah because he didn't start off that way no he started off as like using all
30:07
of his athleticism and he's flashy and he's athletic and um you know he just he
30:12
was um more willing to take risk and then after the big Matt Sarah knockout he just
30:19
really reconstructed himself as an athlete yeah I think you feel a little more
30:25
Invincible until you get dropped oh yeah and then you're like wait this could happen to me me
30:32
what no and then it happens again it could happen in another fight or in training or something where you're just
30:39
like [ __ ] okay I need to do something else I can't just like take the punches
30:44
on the top of the head anymore I have to change level I have to get out of the way of them I have to grab this person
30:51
drag them to the floor and I commend wellie for going so hard on her
30:56
grappling technique like it looked phenomenal last night that like one arm lift throw that she hit off of the fence
31:03
was insane like she just even when she would fail on takedowns she didn't stop
31:11
you know she didn't get like down about it she didn't gas she would just keep going and going and going and eventually
31:17
she would get it get to the back get to the a position where it was obvious she was the winner of the round and I think
31:25
it is the safest way to fight especially as a champion especially when you have such a uh advantage on the ground like
31:32
yeah get in there get your points get the win can we talk about though what happened at the end of the first round
31:40
yeah [ __ ] I almost forgot how can you forget about that Angela because there was so much going
31:45
on I know I feel like I watched 10 fights one fight I was so mad like what do you do how does that
31:52
happen so what are the rules the rule is you can't help them to the corner right
31:59
they have to get up on their own accord I feel like wayy should have just sat there and let her crawl out of her guard
32:08
like crawl out of her back mound like she should have just sat there and just been like gone you got 15 seconds I'll
32:16
wait look at go on I'll wait you okay like hold her hold her down for you know like
32:24
instead she gave her a boo she's like get off me yeah she get off of me [ __ ]
32:30
um and I don't think she realized she was out and dude girl was out she was
32:36
out slump to the side well and it looked like um her dog was the ref right it looked like he was kind of helping her
32:42
up he was well okay I thought same thing I thought the same thing then they reh
32:48
showed it and he kind of just pointed her in the right direction which you always do we always walk the wrong way
32:54
oh and uh and he pointed her in the right direction and um I was like okay maybe he didn't
33:01
pick her up but he was telling her where to go but the whole time I was just like
33:06
she's out she's out like they need to ask her a question or something and maybe if she spoke English they would
33:13
have said do you know where you are or something but maybe they didn't try that
33:19
because of the language barrier I don't know I feel like she gamed her way into the second round not on purpose she
33:26
didn't know where the [ __ ] she was but she she was very confused and then did
33:31
you hear them say uh do you want to do you want us to wake her up yeah so that was a big that was a big thing that sent
33:38
the commentary uh panel into into a frenzy what was was that about so I mean
33:46
and they they ended up showing so smelling salts which I've I've actually
33:52
um experienced before um it they're gnarly they will they will they're like
33:58
a punch in the face to wake you up like they're they're very intense but they are not um legal technically I don't
34:05
know if there's anything written in in the rule books though because I was starting to Google and um in certain
34:11
Sports you can use them certain Sports you can't and it's to help you know wake somebody up but what um what the cutman
34:19
was talking about was um you put pressure like right at the bridge of like the septum and the nose and if you
34:26
put pressure it'll open up their their breathing pathes uh Pathways okay and
34:31
it'll help wake them up oh interesting so that's what he was referring to like
34:36
a a touch technique that um you know these catmen have been around for a long time they know all the tricks in the
34:42
books yeah um he wasn't talking about you know that he wasn't talking about that and
34:48
and there's a lot of uh zooming in in the corner um you know double checking it because those are you're not supposed
34:55
to be able to use those in in combat Sports although I still didn't find anything necessarily in the rub books
35:00
when I was Googling but I could do a deep dive it it was just interesting but I think it was used um in boxing back in
35:08
the day like way back in the day and I think that they ended up um saying that it was you know unfair to use that yeah
35:15
because you got a zombie coming back from the dead and he's either going to have a ton of brain damage after the
35:20
fight or beat someone who legitimately beat them already in the first round yeah so that's what that debacle was
35:26
about but I I I don't know how it went a second
35:31
round I'm glad it did I mean it was a good it was a good fight but I really
35:37
felt like man like will really should have gotten that win uh she in the first I mean I would have felt horrible for
35:44
her if she ended up losing that fight getting dropped getting hurt because how
35:50
how exhausted are you after finishing someone with a submission she put all of
35:56
her energy into that and and she was noticeably tired and fatigued and you know shaking out her
36:02
arms you know for the rest of the fight yeah it like it it took you know money out of the bank in that in that yeah it
36:10
was um it was really cool to see her come back from that still be able to uh rally you can see in the third round she
36:16
kind of looked um a little defeated she had been dropped she she couldn't get any takedown she even pulled uh um Yan
36:24
on top of her at one point and then eventually she got her [ __ ] together and got back in the fight and won won the
36:31
rest of the fight so I I thought it was a really interesting match it was a lot more competitive than I expected it to
36:37
be and man that first round it had me human especially because we just like I
36:43
was like okay it's late I got to get back home wait and then she gets there in the
36:50
some I'm like yes yes okay one more fight and then they started up again I'm like come on guys we're not done yet
36:56
come on e Coast girl I know it's like 1:00 a.m. on the East Coast right now
37:02
just just she's done she's done it's fine oh speaking of uh people who are
37:07
done there were a lot of crazy back and forth fights on their prelims but I think we should talk about that in our
37:13
exclusive 15 see you other side bye hope you enjoy
37:18
the fights oh b nickel won he did and he wasn't happy about
37:24
it he didn't knock him out in 10 seconds I'm a really good wrestler I'm supposed
37:30
to finish people immediately oh it's okay you'll get them next time that's fine bye
37:42
