I just I have so much money I just need to wow I just it's there's so much it's
0:10
so hard being so rich oh my God oh my God like these jackets are so heavy and
0:17
like thick God warm I know thank God have so much money again to Fan
0:24
ourselves off God do you remember what it was like to be poor I don't I mean
0:30
it's like been a whole three days since we got all that money from the big
0:35
settlement I know my god oh Dark Days Dark Times days Dark Times well this
0:42
been another two straws we don't have to do this anymore because we're rich [ __ ] this is our last episode see you
0:49
later suckers no um big news the settlement
0:55
that apparently no Fighters opted out of I definitely didn't including the
1:01
ones that testified for the UFC has been uh settled the lawsuit I
1:08
mean and you know 30 what is it $335
1:13
million it it sounds like a lot of money it's not because you know you still have to pay all the the lawyer fees the court
1:21
fees and then there's like what like over a thousand fighters on the on the
1:27
on the list you know I just hope that the managers and the coaches don't try
1:32
to get a hold of that [ __ ] off [ __ ] off I want to put it past them don't even
1:38
put that out into the universe oh my God okay let me take it back let me take it back don't even try it don't try it it's
1:44
ours it's ours I need to get my my sage and smudge the room after you just said that my
1:50
God yes um it's GNA be at the most maybe
1:56
a few hundred or not a few hundred a hundred right like for each fighter if they split it down the middle for
2:04
everyone I don't know like that I just I hope that because I know that money
2:10
could change a lot of people's lives especially the ones that are no longer fighting who can't get back in there and
2:16
make more money like it's a big deal but at the same time you almost wish that
2:22
they held out for a little bit more or tried to take them to court and actually get what they could fully get make it
2:30
make a difference yeah there are some you know ex UFC Champions that um you
2:36
know were on the roster for a long long time and not making you know the money
2:41
that the Champions do now yeah and so I I wonder you know what that money looked like back then compared to now obviously
2:48
you know UFC has blown up and it's so much bigger um and making so much more money so I I do wonder what exactly they
2:56
were getting paid and what their sponsorships looked like and and all that kind of stuff um I just I really I
3:03
really hope that especially the veterans that paved the way for us you know get
3:09
something substantial yeah I hope they get their their cut and and they're happy with it but um yeah I don't know I
3:17
think it I think it's been kind of people on both sides like some people are saying oh that's a great that's a
3:23
great thing that happen and other people are like that's not going to do anything if anything you're just taking a quick
3:28
payday but I hear that there could be another lawsuit for uh a different kind
3:35
of time period because that was for a certain chunk of years and then they're going to probably do another one for
3:41
another certain chunk of years where there's going to be more money having been made more Fighters that can cash in
3:47
on that so we'll see if that becomes like a thing that happens the crazy thing is that even if they paid that a
3:54
few times over like they settled for that much money like it's still jump change just a A Drop in the Ocean yeah
4:03
of their uh Dr Scrooge pool of money oh my
4:10
goodness Mr Dougs worth be be generous please share with us commoners give us a
4:15
couple Shillings just a few more for our mini
4:21
coats which are totally Real by the way this is real
4:26
Le yeah well I'm hot it's a little stuffy but um we had a lot of uh hot MMA
4:37
News to get down to First dude did you see what happened with Ral
4:43
roses yes yes I did he is in big trouble with his parents dude that's so wild all
4:51
right so how old is this kid is he 18 or what was he 17 I remember he needed his
4:58
parents to allow him like to like sign a waiver which I mean this is not unheard of did he okay I
5:05
hear about that so I mean he's he's young enough to where when he started fighting he actually like needed
5:12
parental consent oh yeah I remember um Chris hardi uh the Canadian who was in
5:18
like the the IFL maybe no I think he was just in the IFL but I remember he was so young that
5:25
when he started he needed like parental consensus like 16 15 yeah he was really
5:32
young I think by the time he got into the IFL he was like maybe 18 19 like kind of like uh ra Rosa uhuh uh but can
5:39
you imagine that like I don't care if you're a UFC fighter take out the garbage oh like Bro you've made a couple
5:47
paychecks why are you still living with your parents you know because again management fees I mean I don't know what
5:55
he's getting paid but he came off of the contender Series in my cor so maybe he's
6:01
at that like beginner contract no but he's such a he's already a big name I feel like he's already making probably
6:07
he already fought on the pay-per-view cards like he's or on the main event of a pay-per-view card like he he's getting
6:14
enough to share a room in an apartment with a teammate or something for sure
6:21
like you can you can move out of your mom's house you can always go back to do your laundry or to by the looks of it
6:27
beg her to do yours beg mom that is the Latina mother she's not letting him do his laundry or make
6:34
his own food yeah but Dad dad is the one that uh put his foot down apparently
6:40
allegedly I'm not sure how reputable these sources are but I would love to get to the bottom of it I would too I
6:47
want to know what chores he wasn't doing he probably you know I mean he's a big UFC fighter he probably doesn't want to
6:54
do the dishes anymore not that he ever did he probably doesn't want to clean up his room which probably his mother did
7:00
uh maybe he didn't want to do his homework anymore maybe he's like you know what this school thing isn't for me although I think he was already homeschooled who
7:07
knows I'm like what are you complaining about just just I I I wish I was still
7:12
living with my mama right all you have to do is take out the trash that's the bill you have to pay easy I'm all about
7:19
like labor I'll do labor before I give up any money I will I will trade over what do
7:26
you need me to do yeah we'll work for food
7:31
these kids man they don't know how good they got it they don't they're dying to grow up and be independent and then they
7:38
realize you got to pay for internet you got to pay for electricity you have to pay for trash and all this other stuff
7:45
you got to pay for food yeah that's so nice is it nope gas
7:51
you know how much gas is a it's ridiculous car insurance dude yeah oh my
7:58
God where where does he live where he from I don't I feel like he's training in Vegas
8:04
though every time I I hear about him he's out in Vegas but he might not he might just be in fight week all the time
8:11
maybe I don't know but that's hilarious every he probably wasn't uh cleaning
8:17
behind his ears that's what he got in trouble for Clovis New Mexico oh it's cheap out there well
8:24
that's where he was born I don't know if he's still out there but yeah get your [ __ ] together
8:31
don't leave home don't leave home don't do it yeah just get your [ __ ] together so you can keep fighting and don't leave
8:37
home because you're gonna spend all your money from your fight purses on
8:42
rent yeah is that it's not worth it yeah it's just not worth it take it from
8:49
me it's not all it's cracked up to be I do think if I knew that I was going to be a fighter I've never would have left
8:56
home like uh just because of how broke you are but at the same time I set out to be an artist which is that that's not
9:05
my that's like a a lateral move yeah it's just as challenging there was no
9:11
pay bump like you know what this artist thing isn't working out I'm gonna be a
9:16
fighter great idea you're so
9:23
smart I had a big a big imagination that's all um yeah it it was pretty
9:30
funny to see that but hopefully he could use some of that settlement to get himself his own spot and then he's not
9:36
getting any of that settlement oh yeah none of it he wasn't even bored that settlement get out of here wait your
9:45
turn you have nothing to complain about you back in my day when people started
9:51
fighting we made less than $1,000 we had to pay for our own medical
9:57
well we still have to pay for our Medical uh but we did not we did not get
10:02
paid very well at all and we did it happily and now these kids I remember
10:07
when like uh Paige and Sage like came onto the scene and they're getting all this attention from the UFC and I found
10:12
out they were like entry level making like 40K I was like
10:18
youu and you're complaining about fighter pay I made 400 to show 200 to
10:25
win2 200 to finish I made $800 and it was gone like that nice I made uh what is it I think my first
10:33
MMA fight I made three and three and I was like let's go but we were trying to
10:39
expedite it so I could get on tough so we were like okay this this isn't going to work if we just pay them regular so
10:46
we took part of my show and put it on their show and that was why it was so
10:52
low and then she signed a contract and I [ __ ] her up CCH you [ __ ] but uh but you know I
11:00
had to take a hit for that and I never really got paid until I got on tough yeah and I was like Wow 2500 a
11:09
week was it that much it was something like that right yeah what was it was it
11:16
I thought it was 2500 a week I don't maybe it was 15 I don't
11:22
think I got paid that it something hundred a week and we got paid for what was it eight weeks seven weeks seven
11:29
weeks yeah yeah which isn't a lot of money to be on national TV
11:35
but it was something that's why reality TV is so popular you don't have to actually pay for talent yeah you just
11:42
pay for [ __ ] like us enjoy you're welcome enjoy the
11:48
entertainment give them something to talk about yeah and then after you got off the show I think it was eight and
11:54
eight at the time or maybe 10 and 10 no it was eight and eight it was eight and eight at the time when they went up to
11:59
10 and 10 I was like oh wow okay that's so nice
12:06
wow and so like good for you you realize that we're coming up on our 10year tough
12:12
anniversary right we should have a reunion a very select select should
12:20
we as I said that as I said that I mean it make great
12:25
TV it would oh God where are they now H I really want to know I mean I know
12:32
where some of them are some of them I mean some of them fought one of them fought last night uh some of them are in
12:39
front of you as we speak with all their
12:44
money that they got on Amazon and but yeah there's a few of them that
12:51
are just kind of wandering the Earth like Nomads yeah and we never heard from them
12:57
again I think we should pitch that theight Netflix that is uh netfli Netflix worthy TV right there I feel
13:04
like it is just like a summer house like you know how they do like sure house no okay that's where I draw the line no it
13:11
has to be the ringing in show when you all sit on a big couch and then you talk I can't go back to a house with those
13:18
girls or if is you I feel like you would be the last
13:23
one who want to I am absolutely am you know
13:29
oh my God come on no I don't want to do that I yeah I would love to do a reunion
13:36
show though I could do like an evening or like you know how on um Love is Blind
13:42
they have the little party like they'll like I'm sure they're lying but they'll say oh so and so has a birthday wouldn't
13:50
it be great if we got the whole cast together for their birthday and then everyone shows up and they're like how
13:55
could she show up on my birthday [ __ ] like I think that would be cool we could
14:01
do something like that so you want to drink with these women I would spend an evening you remember not like another
14:08
what happened at the the wrap dinner that when we were all drinking
14:15
and eating together it was great it was great I have no regrets
14:21
from that [Laughter] night I let my hair down a bit yes you
14:28
[ __ ] did and no one was mean to
14:34
me after that uh like oh she's she's a
14:40
feisty one she's different than the show where did that come from now that the
14:45
cameras are off [ __ ] I see you
14:51
outside the parking lot yes I'm getting paid I already did my dues um so yeah I
14:59
think we should pitch that little reion show 10 years ago R roses was six years
15:04
old [ __ ] off he wasn't that young but no he probably was no I don't even think he
15:10
was that old maybe eight seven or eight you keep going up I feel like he was even younger no he's 18
15:17
now I'm bad at math math oh God I'm bad at
15:23
math all right anyway um let's move on to uh a little bit of fight news did you
15:31
watch the fights last night I did how was it not closely but I
15:37
did where were you up to nothing a yeah I think everyone's kind of in that boat
15:44
like there's a couple fights that you're like oh okay I I'll make sure I tune into that one but then most of the car
15:49
you're just like oh who's this guy oh that was cool all right anyway back to my video game you know like kind of that
15:57
that type of fight card which I think is actually good for MMA I know a lot of fans like to talk crap about oh we have
16:05
these fight night cards there's no name value this and that but I really do feel
16:10
like MMA is getting to that point where it's something that you look forward to every Saturday like you go you watch the
16:17
UFC it doesn't matter who's who's uh fighting if you're a Super Fan then you're just happy that there's fights on
16:23
and there's something new to talk about at the end of the week so I feel like it's a good thing even if we're not having these big crazy pay-per-view
16:30
esque cards it's a great thing otherwise we wouldn't have you know a podcast and
16:36
all this money yes I think it's great that it happens every week it gives us
16:41
something to talk about Angela yeah I agree yeah I agree too um what did you
16:47
think about the main event Rose versus Rebus or heus heas heas versus
16:56
hes Thug Rose yeah um I I heard commentary talk about how
17:04
Rose is sometimes too cautious or composed composed was the word I believe
17:10
um like composed to a fault is yeah it's probably what they said um
17:17
yeah that was a Laura that said it right yeah yeah I think that I think that Rose
17:23
did exactly what she needed to do I thought that she was read everything reading everything as well as she could
17:29
good I think that uh heas poses like a challenge in that she has like really
17:35
odd Rhythm she just she's very unconventional
17:40
unorthodox so it is it's really challenging to get her timing but I think that Rose was really patient she got the timing um her counters to the
17:47
throws were beautiful um and I think she you know
17:53
except for maybe it was the third round I think I gave he us yeah um I I think
17:59
that's the only round I gave her but I thought that she did really well and even though people were kind of
18:05
complaining about that I I was really impressed yeah same I I think uh the problem of reis's rhythm is that there
18:13
is none you know she's just jittering kind of Jitter bugging across the cage
18:19
and coming at you and throwing shapes in the air you're not really sure what's going to come but then when she actually
18:25
throws something it's good it's a it's a real nice f fast spinning Hill kick it could be um a quick kick upstairs it
18:33
could be a onew straight down the pipe but the Rhythm before that happens is a little uh chaotic and you kind of get
18:41
like lulled into like what's going to happen oh yeah it happened yeah exactly
18:47
and like rose is finding the timing but I think it was hard for her to figure out when to follow up on a punch like
18:55
every now and then she would land a big cross over the top or she'd land a big hook but then she didn't know when to go
19:02
cross hook or hook cross hook you know it was hard for her to figure out when
19:07
to commit to a combination or when to just like try to catch her as she's coming in with a big crashing punch so I
19:14
felt like she did a good job with just still scoring and Landing the better shots um and I think Rivas kind of gave
19:20
the fight away because she was doing well with just being unpredictable and Landing her own stuff too but then when
19:28
she would do weird stuff like go for the hip throw that got reversed or go for like a rolling knee bar stuff that you
19:36
kind of know it's going to get reversed especially after the first time especially after you feel them in the
19:41
first round and you feel like the top pressure um she still kept going for
19:47
these things that had low percentage uh chance of working and I felt like if she
19:52
had just stayed on the feet even she might have been more convincing on scor cards I I agree with that I think that
19:59
when she was coming forward and creating more more volume she was doing really
20:05
well and scoring but then she went back to just throwing one big kick and like a
20:11
lot of her stuff ended up being telegraphed um as the later rounds uh as
20:16
we got into the later rounds Rose was really picking up on like the big shots
20:22
and I know that you know her her coroner told her that she was down we did a knockout and she was trying to deliver
20:28
that she was doing everything she could it's just you know something that I think is a big takeaway from this fight
20:33
is to work on your setups yeah or follow-ups after a kick it just can't be
20:39
just one huge movement yeah yeah for sure and just to
20:44
not do the stuff that's not working over and over again you know and I mean I I
20:49
love that kind of stuff I love throws to a KNE bar but like it it did not work it didn't work don't do it again it she she
20:57
kept going to it do another throw she kept going to that throw or use that throw to set up a different throw
21:02
exactly and it kind of worked with that one sagging hip throw that she got when she caught the head and then spun to the
21:09
right side and was able to get on that side control I think that was the third round you were talking about and I was
21:14
like okay this might be the moment that Reus figures out or heus sorry figures
21:20
out the method to getting to Rose and getting on top of her and getting to her back cuz she transitioned real nicely in
21:26
that round um but she never got close again and I think she got a little desperate when she couldn't get a hold
21:32
of Rose in the in the fourth and fifth and that's when she started doing these sacrificial kind of rolling things and
21:39
ending up on bottom and just being content down there and that's not what you want to do to win an MMA fight
21:45
because the Optics of just being on bottom even if you're throwing punches even if you're trying to score you're
21:52
still underneath them they can still hit you they're still controlling mhm and so
21:57
yeah it was a good effort I thought it was a a a technical fight to watch it was a good fight to watch um uh people
22:04
were kind of criticizing the commentary a little bit because uh they were a
22:10
little biased towards Rose and I feel like sometimes people complain if they
22:18
really want someone to lose and I think uh the fans have been kind of split down the middle with rose recently like
22:25
they're either really for her or really against her and then someone like Rebus comes in heus and she's like you know
22:33
she is so likable no she's a fan favorite obv say
22:40
likable obviously not Angela some people would say likable I would say uh I don't
22:49
know not boot licky no I don't know there's something about
22:55
it that just seems very very much a front or not a front very much like fake
23:01
just kind of uh I don't know but that's that's a conversation for another day I
23:06
I just felt like people were really behind Rebus and they were trying to see what they wanted to see with with her
23:12
striking with her um aggression and I felt like a lot of it looked like it was
23:19
either missing or not doing anything to sway the momentum of the fight and I
23:25
thought it was a pretty clear win for Rose but I wasn't going to be surprised if they gave it to Rebus just because of
23:33
um the pressure I saw a k a couple
23:40
CIP I saw a couple tweets that you know the UFC put up um as the broadcast was
23:46
going on and somebody had it like uh going into the third they had it what was it uh
23:52
327 for for heus what I like bro how did this TW it through you know
24:01
why yeah yeah maybe hey you got to play the game girl you got to play the game
24:07
and you know what else she had the little butt cheek hanging out she did she was playing the crowd she was like
24:13

24:20

going to need you like we're just try hey we're helping with Optics you one up on the cheeks that she presents making
25:01
sure there's a nice with Optics this is just just putting it out there for you oh man oh um speaking of uh criticism of
25:11
the commentary you mentioned something that I did not hear about girl tell me again
25:18
and tell the fans what was going down on Twitter last night W uh ex UFC fighter
25:26
and uh former WC champ Camp Jamie Verner took to Twitter during the broadcast and let everybody know what he thought of
25:33
Laura senko and it was it was not very flattering he basically um uh the Tweet
25:40
has been taken down but he basically said Lura Seno is winning the fights by talking so much uh leave the commentary
25:47
to the people that have actually fought a female a female UFC fighter should have that job she is just annoying and
25:54
it's obvious she is trying so hard and doesn't know what she's talking about um so you
26:03
know don't drink and tweet is is what I feel like I made that mistake so many
26:09
times yes I feel like I've done it a time or two and I have since then
26:15
corrected this um what did you drunk tweet I think I think I was actually
26:22
with you and Adam and we were trying a terrible influence I'm so impressionable
26:28
um I came up with like a little joke about um
26:35
samon uh samon yeah what is his name um he's uh I I'm actually a fan of his um
26:44
he or stamina it was something about his stamina because he was gassing out in the fight oh the the guy who died no no
26:52
Stam Stam ston yeah I said something about staman looks like his St and a
26:59
something like that oh I love it such so something we' tell you to yeah so we
27:05
like we I tweeted it and people [ __ ] ripped me on I was like it was a joke it
27:12
was a joke and I'm a fan of his oh that's great he won't even look at me when I've seen him in passing I'm like f
27:20
um yeah and people like um so I didn't like I didn't at him or anything yeah
27:25
but everybody added him and he ended up like losing that fight oh no I was I
27:30
know it was bad it it don't drink it did he gas yes it was a joke about
27:39
stamina I thought it was funny at the time yeah I feel like if I tweeted it no one would have had a problem with it
27:45
it's just you have a very you know I get that a lot uh dead
27:50
pen yeah I get that kind of demeanor even when they're reading what you
27:56

28:06
that know your audience and then play to the crowd yeah yeah sorry about that my
28:13
bad we should have told you oh no you encouraged it so going back [Laughter]
28:21
to taking myself off the hook here going back to Varner in his tweets um yeah you
28:29
think that was a drunk tweet he I so I was you know obviously I started doing some like investigating
28:36
okay um and he he's pretty outspoken on Twitter so maybe he wasn't drunk maybe
28:43
he was enjoying a beverage I don't know but I just don't think you should come after like the UFC sweetheart Laura Seno
28:50
yeah and I mean she's all class in her response she's you know said that she
28:55
actually fought on the same card as him and and you know they were in the same warmup room okay and you know she really
29:01
like admired and respected him and just you know like she she is a fighter maybe
29:07
you know she only fought at in Invicta for a short time and you know life
29:14
happen and all these things but like she she was still a fighter like I fought on the same card as her yeah um I remember
29:20
her back in the evicted days uh I think people just forget or or they want to discredit
29:27
because because I don't know she didn't make it to the UFC like who cares like she's worked really hard and I think she
29:34
does a good job at what she does she always comes in super studied and she's
29:39
on point with her stuff so whatever whatever issue he had I
29:45
don't necessarily think that the way he went about it was the best way yeah because everybody came to Laura's
29:51
defense well for sure I think if he had said that before she had actually worked
29:57
a day then he'd have more supporters but because she's been so diligent and so
30:04
good at what she does she she tries to make up for the expectations of her you
30:09
know she tries to show hey I'm not just a dumb blonde I actually know what these moves are called I train this I
30:16
understand it I've fought like this is what's going on and a lot of times you
30:22
get that criticism when someone like Brendan Fitzgerald or someone like even John anic starts talk about technique
30:29
and people jump on them but they've been watching this for a really long time they kind of know what they're talking
30:34
about even if they're not in there and not competing or never have been they still know what they're looking at and
30:40
the people criticizing them have no idea what they're looking at so it's like you
30:47
guys are calling like the pot is calling the the other pot black what is it pot
30:52
con the kill yes that one one the pots are black both you pot are
30:59
black being racist to each other stop it come together support each other yes
31:05
we're all on the same team so I hate it when people do that
31:11
but at the same time um because this is a a uh an opinion that a lot of people
31:17
also have said in the past when Laura SLE got the job why isn't a UFC fighter
31:23
who you know who would it be like I can't do it I'm fighting you know you're fighting I think it's
31:31
really hard to be an active fighter and to be um the first the first female on
31:39
there the one to get all the criticism the one to try to raise the ceiling for everyone to come afterwards so I feel
31:46
like it's almost a blessing in disguise that it was Laura anko I don't feel like
31:51
there are any um females that I see right now who are retired that are doing
31:59
the job as well as she is and I feel like um people like us who who do work
32:05
on our craft who do try to become well-versed in like talking about fighting and and getting to that point
32:11
eventually I think she's creating a job for us in the future absolutely and so
32:17
that's why I like that she's there and that's why I'm not I don't have a problem that she's there because she
32:23
kind of did the hard work for us she's a pretty face she goes in there she knows what she's doing she's proving to the
32:29
guys that she can hang and that girls who hang out in gyms aren't going to make you feel weird when you're doing
32:36
your locker room talk and all that and I think she's been a really good Ambassador for uh any future female
32:43
commentators especially ones that used to fight I I completely agree
32:48
I I just think that you know if it was going to be anyone I'm really glad that it was her and I think she again she
32:56
represents you know women in in the sport in commentary and broadcasting I
33:02
think that she represents us very well and I think she has single-handedly like
33:08
opened a lot of doors and opportunities yeah you go girl thanks Laura holler
33:15
we'll see you on the all female panel in about five years I know I need to have I need to make my view my MMA view yeah
33:23
thing that would be fun it's been in my my um
33:29
what it visualization board your vision board yes okay yeah it's been up there for years yep it'll happen just keep
33:36
visualizing that thing um yeah and you need watch your mouth I
33:43
know that was disappointing it's it's always disappointing um not surprising
33:49
sometimes but disappointing when you know fellow MMA
33:55
fighters males in know specifically talking about the male MMA fighters um
34:00
are are not supportive of their female counterparts yeah it it is disappointing
34:05
because I like I like to think that you know we're all in this together um we're all trying to do the same thing achieve
34:12
the same thing we just happen to be in you know different different divisions and
34:18
and genders and genders but we have the same goal and you know I I just would
34:25
like to see you know us us stick together and support each other and and keep raising that ceiling and keep
34:31
creating more opportunities for each other uh so it is it is disappointing you know especially you know can you
34:37
imagine if you like heard somebody that you like look up to and respected say that like I know it's the hardest thing
34:44
it it really is [ __ ] stings sad it makes me sad but I think that's probably why he took the Tweet down and if her
34:52
responding like that that that humbles you a bit that that show was you oh she
34:59
did fight on the C you know like oh yeah I forgot that little skinny girl was you
35:06
oops it must have been an amateur card right because uh she only fought an Invicta I or maybe there were some other
35:13
like uh local was fighting I don't think
35:21
he um I I can't find the Tweet but um but the way she responded was you know
35:27
100% class good job yeah J well done great example yeah and like in his
35:33
defense he was probably trying to Big up the UFC the female UFC fighters who
35:40
might have been passed up on the opportunity but I honestly don't feel like the opportunity was there you know
35:46
like there there there was no passing up Laura kicked down the door and made
35:52
herself a spot and now we have like a little hole to crawl into one day
35:58
because she's barreled it out for us so thanks for
36:04
that um so moving on to the prelims on that card uh I think we got to talk
36:11
about the bite the bite of the night bonus oh my God speaking of burrowing a
36:17
hole that thing so how convinced were you before you saw it that the guy had
36:23
bitten him cuz I was like 50/50 I know that sometimes you get stuck in a
36:29
position and your lips are getting moved around and it might feel like you bit someone when you didn't do it
36:35
intentionally that guy looked like he was burrowing no that's what he looked like
36:41
the way he was like I was like bro what is happening
36:46
and then I remember I like walked into the kitchen and I walked back and then like the you know it had it had been
36:52
like timeout had been called and then I heard what was going on with uh Chris
36:58
tyon and the and all that stuff and I was like what happened they're like fight's over I was like what did I just
37:03
I am so confused so I have had the wrong fight man that fight was insane well I
37:09
watched it again okay good I I saw leading up to it and then I remember they were kind of stalemated when he was
37:15
you know biting him um I was like oh I can run to the fish right now this is fine there's a break happening and I
37:22
yeah it absolutely
37:31
and you know what the weirdest thing was is there were like upper bites and lower
37:37
bites I was like bro how did that happen where's your mouthpiece right like how did he get the top and the bottom I want
37:44
to see that mouthpiece right yeah me too he bit him hard if his mouthpiece was in
37:49
when well you know that like when you're getting the the mouthpiece molded you
37:54
have to like bite down so there's like indents from your lower teeth on on the upper row I was like is that what that
38:01
was I think so cuz I feel like the mouthpiece was in there but you know that [ __ ] had to have been hard just
38:07
because the top was imprinted just as vividly as the bottom damn it was so bad
38:14
and you know what I said as soon as I saw how how clear the Mark is I was like yo he should go get that tattoo on him I
38:21
cringed when I saw that I was like are you [ __ ] kidding me did you see yes he got it tattoo I
38:28
know I know so funny it's not I'm like oh my God I love that he did that I'm
38:36
like okay I hate it so much no I hate my new list of favorite new Fighters you
38:42
are one of them it's permanent stop I don't like it I just I
38:49
feel like I would do that if someone bit me like that and then I got a Bonus off of it so that was the cool part at least
38:55
he got a bonus for getting bit well you heard that he was supposed to get 25k and then Dana saw the tattoo and
39:01
he said you're getting 50 oh nice good good for him good for him see a small
39:08
investment got him a huge payback huge
39:13
returns stop just a little nibble all it took is a little NB would you would you
39:18
let someone bite the [ __ ] out of you for 50k yes would you tattoo it on your body
39:24
no no so it would be 25k fine worth it I'm getting a tattoo
39:31
removed right now so I'm like I'm good on tattoos it was a good spot though for
39:37
a tattoo it would have been great if he bit his ass it is so right on that Apple you know like
39:46
it's such an ugly tattoo it's such an MMA fighter tattoo I love MMA fighters
39:51
get the worst [ __ ] tattoos ever it just oh God this is like top of the list
39:57
for my favorite bad tattoos so that I thought it was a good choice I thought it was tasteful I like the uh penmanship
40:05
of the bite of the night uh around the actual bite I thought it
40:11
was classy well yeah I don't know if classy is the
40:17
word that I would use the fight was pretty insane though it was a great fight it was a really good fight I I was
40:23
mad at the guy who got bit and I feel like that's what happened he was grabbing the cage a lot yeah I think
40:31
that guy never lost I think both of them never lost before I think the guy that bit him got so frustrated that the fight
40:39
was getting away from him and this guy kept cheating and grabbing the cage they was like you know what [ __ ]
40:45
it it [ __ ] so I'm trying to like so I'm trying
40:51
to figure out like I've you know I've been pissed off in a fight and you know
40:57
like maybe want to hit a little bit harder like you know grind the forearm or you know do something like that but I'm also so focused on the fight that
41:05
like I I don't get pulled out of what I'm trying to do and he was like mad
41:12
yeah he that's like pure frustration right there yeah but I think it's also coupled with the fact that he's never
41:18
lost before sure you know so he he's getting cheated against he's feeling
41:26
like this isn't being addressed in the right way like they're not taking a point he's losing
41:32
takedowns he's he's the guy's using the fence to literally get back up and the
41:38
ref doesn't say anything he just warns him so he tried to go for another taked down I feel like he was about to grab
41:45
the fence before he got bit no he was like that's probably why he bit him he
41:50
was like you're grabbing the fence I'm going to bite you so you give up the takedown yeah because you are cheating
41:56
no I I get it but how like I mean that's kind of why Mike Tyson bit the ear off you know yeah he was he said he was
42:03
getting headbutted the whole fight so he's like you know what take a year yeah hopefully that's uh how his fight with
42:09
Jake Paul ends oh my God I'm so I'm so upset about that fight
42:16
happening I just I just don't I don't like anything about that yeah I just don't I would
42:24
love if he got bit like not the here I want him to get P you remember um Batman
42:31
Returns and the scene when penguin just like B yes I actually just watched that
42:38
I watched that on a flight the last flight that I took so good that movie holds water and freaking Michelle Fifer
42:45
my God yes my God there is no other Catwoman for me she was amazing she I
42:52
dressed up as Catwoman maybe three Halloweens when I was a kid because of her I always wanted to play like dress
42:58
up as uh Catwoman because of her yeah and my mom let me use the little sewing needle things holy [ __ ] for the yeah we
43:06
we got into Halloween damn yeah I was like it has to be those because that's what she did in the movie it was so good
43:14
so good oh she's so good she's so good she's um yeah so that would be fun
43:21
but where were we the the fight was pretty wild the the one before he got
43:26
bed and and then he got bet and um unfortunately for that guy that cost him
43:32
his uh contract yeah can't do that you think
43:37
that that was just yeah yeah you can't do stuff like
43:42
that um I I feel like there was a a guy recently maybe a couple years ago that
43:49
it looked like he intentionally kept fouling the guy like he kicked the kid in the nuts maybe three or four times
43:56
and they end up cutting them after that fight and it's like even if it's an accident you're a professional and this
44:03
happened all in one round yeah like you should have better control of your
44:08
weapons than that and it makes the promotion look bad so I definitely feel like it was just you can't have people
44:14
in there biting what's going to be next you know eye gouging fish hooking like
44:20
trying to bite something that could actually come off biting a finger you know like there there's so much dirty
44:26
stuff that you can do we have every tool almost in the book but you want to do
44:31
the dirtiest thing if you fought for another
44:37
promotion I think they would let it slide which one Bellator oh yeah no they
44:43
don't give a [ __ ] you do you do anything yeah you do whatever you want there but UFC is trying to um keep up standards
44:51
you know they're well Machine and people are busting down the door trying to get in so get rid of that guy you can find
44:58
another undefeated guy on on the Block in in Vegas somewhere you know it's it's
45:04
pretty easy to come across Talent so you [ __ ] up bro it's a shame yeah I I did
45:12
I I I got really sad for him for a second I mean again I think it's
45:17
completely fair and legit I just feel so sad that that moment of laps judgment or
45:27
anger or or reaction or whatever it was that he was feeling he allowed that
45:33
moment to just completely take away his opportunity you know some people never make it to the UFC some people never
45:39
make it to the big league shows and for him in just one moment just gone wrecked
45:45
it yeah and you know because it was his debut too that's what made it even more
45:51
likely to happen that he'd just mess up in such a huge way because he was so
45:57
desperate to hold on to it you know so makes even more sad yeah poor baby
46:04
you'll be all right you you can go to B he'll take you yeah pfl get in that
46:11
pfl tournament yeah you can make a million dollars now wouldn't have done that in
46:16
UFC you w't part of the lawsuit sorry about it uh what did you
46:22
think about uh the comain the comain yeah you had Carl Williams versus uh Justin TAA he was
46:30
filling for his brother um who ended up fighting for him we saw him yeah
46:39
yeah I and then the fight was it was it was it was kind of an interesting fight
46:46
I think a lot of people weren't sure who won it was kind of split down the middle I think a lot
46:51
of people thought that TAA won um but it was one of those typical grapples versus
46:57
Striker matches where he did all the damage on the feet and then Williams was
47:03
able to get him down and sit on him and he couldn't get back up yeah I'm noticing this is a pattern with some of
47:10
the Aussies great striking not so great take down the fence and get back up yeah and
47:18
it's yeah you you've got to know that this is what's going to repeatedly happen once people see that it's open
47:26
that's that's how they're going to like come at you so it just you really need to make
47:31
these adjustments it's it's becoming frustrating for me to watch I talked about this last week with tasa it it's
47:38
the same kind of thing and it's just it's frustrating I like I I feel for them I feel their frustration I'm
47:44
frustrated as a fighter and a fan watching it uh because again it I I have
47:50
no Tak down offense I I pull guard like I'm not but they don't sit on top of you
47:57
no because you're attacking and in in tfa's defense he was attacking in his
48:04
own way at one point it looked like he was trying to set up a Peruvian neck tie I was like oh oh no he he doesn't you're
48:11
just trying to get off no I saw that I saw that moment you saw right I was like
48:17
oh oh he did joke that he was a Grappler now like now he knows sheit see so I
48:24
think Carl Williams was a little uh wory of that just in case it was true but then once he felt them on the ground
48:30
he's like Ah that's fine it was a joke liar yeah good he almost got me I
48:36
actually kind of really like this Carl Williams guy why he's just adorable like uh did you hear his post fight speech
48:43
he's like talking about his family and you know he's going to move his wife and
48:48
kids down and he just he has like this kind of lovable character um he he he
48:54
reminds me like an uncle or something I keep calling him Uncle Carl like he
49:00
has that energy about him like have you ever um watched the Harley Quinn
49:06
cartoon yeah you know the shark on it no he reminds me of the shark character on
49:12
it it's like he's like this comedian uh black guy who's a comedian but he just
49:17
always sounds he sounds just like him so I thought that was I I like I watched a couple interviews and then I saw the
49:24
fight and I feel like people towards TAA are more because is more because of the
49:30
popularity and then you see the damage like he had him wobbly for a second in one of the rounds I felt like TFA won at
49:37
least one round um but I felt like Carl Williams and in the scheme of how MMA
49:43
fights go are going I felt like he did enough to win sure yeah I get that um
49:50
and maybe I'm biased because I think he's like a lovable Uncle character but who knows well well you know that uh no bias
49:58
you know belongs in MMA Angela and I would like to ask you to please refrain from being biased yeah it has no place
50:05
in it there's no bias in anything that is judged by human
50:10
beings stupid yes I'm sorry this is why I can't commentate
50:16
good job Laura you're not biased at all um all right well I think uh we
50:23
should take our little break I think it's about that time time cuz we have a few more fun fights to talk about and a
50:31
few more interesting things that happen this week in the MMA world and uh yeah
