0:32
straws uh how did you Faire these early morning fights you know I love a early
0:39
morning fight I I like waking up to a fight in my bed I'm like oh
0:46
they're on oh oh the first two fights have already started let me uh let me
0:52
watch in bed while I get one more snuggle from from butcher you know like
0:58
I I really enjoy the early morning fights and then you get to crawl out of bed make yourself a little sandwich
1:04
watch more fights have a coffee I like it I like it and get straight to the point I think we should do it more often
1:10
in the US you know I don't like fighting early in the US but I do like watching early
1:15
in the US I loved the one time I fought early it was in New Zealand and I loved
1:21
it because I like it I didn't have time to get nervous I woke up and then it was
1:27
checking time so there was no time for like a ShakeOut I kind of did my ShakeOut at night but then I woke up I
1:34
ate went and checked in and then by noon we were done and I was like yes I don't
1:40
like it because I don't have time to wake up I'm like my system doesn't doesn't want to to deal with any of this right
1:47
now but I do like getting it out of the way um although I just on Saturdays it kind of throws me off you know I I don't
1:54
know what to do with myself now yeah yeah no now we're like huh I guess we'll have a life outside of
2:00
side of U have no excuses for not doing things now understand don't appreciate that well speaking of outside of UFC
2:07
fights there was a lot of stuff going on last week that we ended up missing cuz uh Jessica got sick and I'm in fight
2:13
Camp so thank you Jessica for keeping your J oh God it's uh past the eight days so I'm
2:21
not contagious anymore just unpleasant to be around we're just going to film it
2:26
like this give it a littleit area here so tell me tell me how bkfc was
2:35
so I I flew in on on Tuesday for fight week to corner back and I got to see her
2:41
for one whole day and then I just got hit really hard um I took a bunch of
2:47
stuff and I thought that I just kind of got rid of whatever it was I was like maybe it's like a little travel thing um
2:53
it was a big travel thing and um I was at the press conference with her and I'm
2:59
like you know I I think I need to get out of here and uh get away from you because I I think
3:07
something's happening you know it's bad when it comes on that fast like it it's
3:12
not a lingering for a few days thing it's just like uh hey I felt great you go to training you come back home and
3:19
you're like oh no D it [ __ ] slapped me like all over the place I I was
3:25
miserable I was I was sweating I had the body aches I was coughing so hard I gave
3:31
myself a sore throat and just hacking stuff up it was awful and I couldn't be near back because there's no way she could have fought if I had like passed
3:37
this to her right and that was a tough fight too that was a nice uh she looked really good in that fight but the girl
3:44
just like she she had that zombie mode on her where she was going to keep coming forward whether whether Beck made
3:50
her pay for it or not yeah she makes for um they make for good opponents for each other both of them just you know they
3:57
like to come forward they like to throw neither one of them Rel L um it was just
4:02
I I told back afterwards I was like dude I I know how hard you hit and I felt bad
4:08
for her at some point because I know how hard you hit well she seems like a really sweet girl too she is it was my
4:15
first meeting she's engaged to my friend Nick who um he does like a lot of the
4:20
behind the scenes like uh videography photography for bkfc we worked cffc
4:25
together so um yeah just anybody who would be in a relationship ship with that person I know is an amazing human
4:33
so total sweetheart both of them uh so it was it it's always nice I know it's
4:39
not as fun for the fans but as as somebody as a fighter I appreciate when
4:45
you have a really respectful and and like cool opponent it just kind of takes
4:51
it it just alleviates something for me that I don't have to worry about you know this weird tension that I mean
4:58
we're already going to fight we don't need to make it any more tense and weird than it has to be um Jeremy Stevens does
5:04
not share my sentiment at all he likes hating the person he had he was very calm and collected though he had all of
5:12
Philadelphia like ready to [ __ ] jump him and he thrived in it it was insane I
5:18
was like you know this could go really well but it could also have some
5:23
repercussions uh but you know and it reper cussed all over his jaw did you see the Eddie Alvarez uh x-ray the the
5:31
scan and they showed this huge crack in his jaw and he played that like I was
5:36
impressed with Eddie Alvarez because he played that [ __ ] off so like it looked
5:41
like something bad happened but I love the clip of him
5:46
going no there was that last punch towards the end of the second round I was like something's wrong like
5:51
something's off and then his Corner threw in the towel and I was like yeah I wonder what that was yeah it was it was
5:57
crazy but like he he did everything he could to stay in that fight it seemed like until he got back to the corner and
6:04
uh hats off to him but man Jeremy hits hard and then he was in the gym the next
6:10
day you know or when during our Wednesday sparring he comes through to ezk and he's just like doing his thing
6:17
doing his recovery stuff rolling out his arms and his legs and I just I I've
6:23
always admired um just the discipline of him like he does all the things that are
6:30
boring you know like he does the long runs he does the cardio work he does the conditioning he does like the recovery
6:37
like all the stuff that's just kind of like ah I'll take care of it later he's on top of that stuff so I'm not
6:42
surprised at his longevity and the fact that he's able to take out someone like Eddie Alvarez especially in a sport that
6:49
was basically designed for Jeremy Stevens like Jeremy Stevens Mike Perry I
6:55
think that's it those back and back yes foret our girl back but there are a few
7:02
uh things about Beck style that makes it not necessarily the best style for her too because I feel like Beck would have
7:08
more success in regular boxing than bare knuckle because of like this the craz
7:15
that goes on like her um did she fight fight Britain har once or twice twice
7:22
and I felt like Briton Hart was not the better boxer in those fight but in those
7:27
fights but she was able to land stuff that would do something in bare knuckle
7:33
that wouldn't do anything in a boxing match I I think that the damage that Beck sustained when fighting Christine
7:40
uh Ferrera was probably the the biggest prime example of of someone and I mean
7:46
Christine's gotten a lot better their second fight she got a lot a lot more technical but she still has a brawler
7:52
style so I do think that be knuckle definitely like caters to someone
8:00
who has that kind of style you don't necessarily need to land clean uh but you just need to to land
8:07
yeah and and some of those grazing punches can do more damage than a direct hit yeah yeah but I felt like Jeremy
8:14
really dealt well with like the range with putting his entire like body behind
8:19
those punches when he would land and he's able to do both he's able to land clean and make a count and get out of
8:25
the way when things come at him uh kind of turn away to the side I like liked his little uppercut that he landed in a
8:31
clinch too that kind of Slide by uppercut I'm like o maybe I could try to
8:36
do that Little YoYo yoh ho ho style um in an MMA match cuz the gloves are
8:41
almost as small as not wearing any at all but yeah super fun night it sucks that you weren't able to partake in the
8:49
festivities did you run into Connor at all before you got sick and put in
8:54
quarantine um not run into him we all waited like 3 hours at the de pressor
9:00
for him to show up and rile everybody up for 20 minutes and then leave so that's
9:05
what guy you sick probably it was his fault he made you wait too long in the germ Zone yeah you were sitting in the
9:12
ger germ pool waiting for Connor to show up festering while he's doing lines in a
9:17
bathroom somewhere someone's butt that's that's the outbreak monkey
9:24
you know doing lines off of someone's butthole then came in yelled at everyone
9:30
spit on him I feel like he's a spit talker right now like he seemed like he was on one that weekend it is it is wild
9:39
to me that um one he he is like a
9:44
walking just like billboard for like advertisement and like attention and he
9:51
he really does well like giving his speeches he's a he's a living popup that's that's it doing it my Vis
10:00
is like and want to hear everything he says and then he's gone for Irish
10:07
Stout I heard it's good I heard it's good Beck had me like I was um in charge
10:12
of holding on to her like little funny funny you say that GED I I actually have
10:20
one in the fridge waiting for you to try oh yeah can't do a live tasting we'll
10:28
take a quick break and he can tell us exactly what you think of it but it's it's kind of crazy
10:36
to me that a got at grocery outlet for $4 I feel like that's well spent money
10:42
it's kind of like what happens with a lot of the um like Patty pilet energy
10:47
yeah like a lot of the UFC stuff ends up at grocery outlet for some reason we're not that we're not there yet we're
10:54
almost there we're getting there we're getting there it'll it'll be 20 2030 is our year nothing's going to
11:02
end up in Grocery Outlet Everything is Everything
11:08
Everything ends up at it's just all the celebrities well yeah there's a lot of H
11:13
Berry stuff too but you can argue that it's because she went MMA oh yeah the holberry workout plan
11:21
like all the it's the roller thing the Ab Roller and then you have a yoga mat
11:26
and then there's a couple other things with H Berry's face I'm like you can't copy Suzanne Summers she did it first
11:32
she did it best anything else is a knockoff I'm sorry Holly what are you doing have some respect and you need to
11:38
play the coach next time not the fighter come on girl oh
11:44
girl that one that was hard be bold bold in your oldness it happens to us all she
11:51
she's still got it though yeah she can still fight so she she was moving she
11:56
was moving in the few scenes that didn't look like it was a stomach person yeah yeah true true she was able to get her
12:01
hips up she looked good on John Wick hey on John Wick a fan yeah well uh yeah the
12:09
the fights are really um really fun to watch Conor made a show of it um and
12:16
then this weekend we had bare Knuck or not bare knuckle we had UFC in Saudi Arabia yes and we had um the first time
12:24
ever that they allowed women to be on a card in Saudi Arabia exting and they
12:30
delivered yeah I got to say though um as as good as J vious looked I I see a
12:38
pattern with waa Silva with how her head really gets in the way of of her
12:44
fighting she's had a really tough few fights like few losses where we keep
12:52
remembering what she looked like against Holly Hol yes and we keep wanting that to happen and then every fight since
13:00
then I feel like she's just had this huge crash and I'm not sure what it is if it's a head thing if it's just the
13:07
way she's training is she not recovered this time there was a bigger weight cut for her but this has happened in her 135
13:15
fights too so I'm wondering what it is like maybe CU like when when Molly mccan
13:20
had a tough performance at 125 she said you know I'm a small 125er I need to go
13:28
down so that I'm not getting as tired in these fights and I can actually move people so maybe that was uh bua
13:35
Silva's uh Reckoning for going down to 125 but the energy still looked like she
13:42
had a huge dump in that especially in that last round it just it looks like she's fighting herself in there it it
13:49
looks like maybe maybe there's like some sort of turning point in her fights where
13:55
maybe it's not going her way maybe some sort of adversity just kind of takes her out of it and she can't get back into it
14:02
yeah and it's I I feel for her I feel you know frustrated and and sad to watch
14:08
an athlete have to go through that and not like repeatedly and not know how to
14:13
how to course correct yeah it's a weird one because it it happened pretty drastically um she had her fight with
14:22
Holly Hol that got overturned yeah um then she had her fight with uh Raquel
14:30
Pennington for the yeah Raquel Pennington for the title and she had a huge dump there she was doing okay
14:37
against Macy it looked like she was kind of fading but then she started coming back and then Macy got on top of her and
14:43
landed that huge elbow that cut her down to the skull so that happened but there
14:49
was still that energy dump that seems to happen and then she'll she was able to Rally herself back into the fight but
14:57
eventually it ended the way it did and then with this one it just looked like yeah like not much there not much steam
15:04
there and uh it's also a tough thing to go all the way out to Saudi Arabia to be
15:09
in a new place to have all these um you know rules that you have to follow when
15:15
you're fighting I know we talked about it before but when you're fighting in Saudi Arabia the women have to be extra
15:21
careful not to break these rules that are that you kind of take for granted in a place like America or Brazil like you
15:28
know Brazil you're walking around with a bikini the size of a a Sho string you know but in Saudi Arabia they're like
15:35
cover your belly butt and over will Stone you you know so I was surprised that Jasmine was actually able to have
15:41
her shoulders show dude she was showing them shoulders off she was being very
15:48
cheeky with her shoulders she's like judges you like that shoulder Stripes
15:53
too like that oh yeah she struck with them too her bare shoulders her bare shoulders was uh she was
16:01
jabbing Myra in the face and she was actually complaining about it I probably would complain too that looks like it sucks ah she probably got the bone of
16:09
the shoulder Myra thought it was a eye poke or something bony shoulders are are a good
16:16
weapon to have they are you you would know I got that nice bony shoulders check that out b b put your face right
16:24
here put your face right I don't want to hurt I don't want don't hurt
16:29
fine I'll save it for the fight please and thank you yeah no I was I was happy
16:35
um to see the women fighting there though because uh they were calling for it uh the guy um what is his name um the
16:44
the guy who kind of like set it all up he was in the crowd and he's like I want
16:50
women and I want this and that one the one of The Sheiks or the princess yeah yeah yeah he was like all about it last
16:55
time they were out there so now they got to fight I felt like it was kind of a a testun because I was kind of uh
17:01
surprised that it was that fight you know what I mean that matchup really I
17:07
think I think both girls as opposed to like a bigger matchup well what you want
17:13
Eileen Perez out there like a meaningful you want her out there shaking her ass no they would never have
17:20
us back they would never have us back so good they make I think they picked two
17:25
two girls that represented very well and we will definitely be invited back
17:31
butcher's he's nesting he's just been doing it for so long I know I know it's really
17:38
distracting see it is distracting when it's in your eyeline right like I can just pretend he's not there but I still
17:45
feel it yeah feel the wrestling yes exactly so funny how appropriate because
17:52
I'm wearing my butcher Club shirt hey um it's almost warm enough to to like bring
17:58
that out again I know right so chilly well I'm in my fight Camp mode so my abs are popping I could wear this teeny tiny
18:04
baby clothes shirt I don't care if I'm cold everybody needs to see
18:10
this oh yes my muscles will keep me warm um yeah so uh so that was a interesting
18:18
fight what do you think about the um poges fight that happened before that
18:24
did you see the first fight of the night everyone was calling a robbery I didn't see the first fight I I saw the fights
18:32
um I went back and watched Terrence mckenny because he had some Buzz about him but I mostly just watched the main
18:40
card because we kind of had a a impromptu call time yes yes we need to
18:46
get this [ __ ] out on the Airways right now so I only wanted to talk about this one because it people were saying it was
18:53
a robbery and I wanted to go and look at who the judges were and guess who one of
18:59
the ones were that scored against Jamal poges even though most people thought he won at least 2928 your boy Sal
19:07
dead boy come on he was one of them um I'm trying to find who the second judge
19:13
was but uh a lot of people scored at 3027 for Pogues um I think 2928 was the
19:21
most fair just because there was uh there was not much action in the first
19:26
round but poges was on the back foot but for the most part and then in the second and third pokes landed more he landed
19:33
bigger shots uh his boxing was looking really sharp and uh he's he's one of
19:39
those guys that are really nice too during fight week like you don't get that often but you could tell that he
19:44
was vibing with the commentary team because as they're calling the fight they're like yeah you know it looks like
19:50
poges has got this one he did a lot of great work and he's such a joy to hang out with and then when you see someone
19:57
like that get robbed it makes a little more vocal like I feel like the commentary team was a lot more vocal
20:02
about the robbery this time than they usually are oh I like that yeah I like it too full honesty full disclosure like
20:09
hey my boy won like that's that's messed up and it even though it wasn't like a
20:14
blow out of the water uh performance by poges I think he might have like kind of
20:20
screwed himself too because at the very end they were high-fiving they were talking to each other but then not
20:27
really throwing stri at each other so I feel like that was a moment that he might kick himself for going back to the
20:34
locker room after getting like a split decision like that dang yeah but it it sucks but um yeah I know I think it
20:42
might have been cartilage I'm trying to look because also on the um on the page
20:51
and um on the what now the Shar Shar what
20:58
how you name Michael V and Paige oh okay who did he fight he fought uh Shar mag
21:06
thank you Sheriff I was actually I was your best friend I was surprised that oh
21:13
it was Mike Bell he gave one round to magedov and everybody else I think got
21:19
it right with 27 is always right he's always scoring the card the way I think
21:26
he should score it really Mike Bell is the good like we need a list well he
21:32
[ __ ] up today oh did he yes oh no I thought he got I thought he was the one they got it right so um no no no Jacob
21:39
Montalvo and Clemens Werner they both they both gave 3027 to Michael Venom pagee oh and
21:47
Michael Bell gave the last round to Sher mov and I just oh that's weird it was it
21:55
was a bit un uncharacteristic of him but that one stood out to me yeah I don't um
22:02
I I don't know how we got there I don't know maybe he uh saw
22:07
something it did look like Sher was pushing the pace a little bit but the
22:13
round I would have given him would have been the first round I think um and but
22:18
then I was like H he shouldn't get the first round I just feel like if uh he had gotten screwed if Michael Venom page
22:25
had gotten screwed they would have given share the first round but I got to yeah
22:31
the only thing for me in in the third round that I could be like maybe they thought it he did more than he actually
22:37
did was because he kind of grinded uh MVP Against the Cage a little bit get a little bit of cage control but I don't
22:43
think that that outweighed the work that mvp was doing
22:48
yeah I thought 3027 was really fair um but you know at least he only got one
22:55
round wrong as opposed to two out of three which is what um salato
23:02
and oh I got it right here Sal deato and Ben cartilage did guys I know and it was
23:11
separate rounds too uh salato gave poges the first round which is the round I
23:16
thought he might have lost and then or sorry Ben cartilage gave poges the first
23:22
round and then uh adhub the second and third you got
23:30
marbles in your mouth Sal deato gave poges the third round and a wob the
23:38
first and second and then Tony Weeks gave poges all three all three rounds
23:45
feeling it so we like him he's a boxing he's a boxing ref all right he he liked
23:50
the boxing of Jamal pokes it was looking sharp that night um so yeah I felt bad
23:55
for him I felt bad for him because it seemed like a clear win even though it wasn't like a crazy dominant performance
24:02
you shouldn't have to do that in order to win a fight you should just be able to win the fight yeah and it frustrates
24:09
me because I am on my way to the Octagon again and I'm hoping I don't get my
24:15
seventh Split Decision in a row because we know what happens when it goes split decision for
24:22
me well you know what you need to do just finish the fight yeah just got
24:27
finish it she a f she's got to finish it she got F fight she's got to kill her don't give it to the
24:34
judges don't do it don't do it number one mistake every fighter does that gets
24:41
robbed when are you guys going to learn yeah I know right just dummies doing the
24:46
same thing over and over again go judges judge our fights figure it out just do
24:52
it well on a lighter note um I was really excited to see te te uh
24:59
uh mckenny yeah he's got a a lot of Buzz about him and he delivers yes and um
25:06
only one fight has gone three rounds but it wasn't the distance yes um everything has been
25:14
finished within uh I believe the first round yeah he is insane first round
25:19
finisher first round get him finished and today he was on the right side of
25:25
the finish and it it really is awesome to see see the way he gets after it just
25:30
right away and he looks he looks um young in fight experience but the way he
25:37
puts everything together I love I love how he capitalizes off of momentum off
25:44
of people's attacks I I personally love doing that it doesn't always work out for me very well but um in his case you
25:51
know he was defending that single he wrapped up a neck he end up getting taken down but like he just transitions
25:57
he transitions he ended up getting um you know to a dominant position to finish the fight I I just love that he
26:04
is just game wherever he is he's always looking you know for for a dominant
26:09
position for a way to capitalize yeah and uh they gave my boy a lot of time to
26:16
get that finished like 50 unanswered punches so after seeing that you can
26:22
imagine my face during the adaga fight I know I'm like switch the refs switch him
26:30
I know let him work his way up or and normally Godard lets people die right
26:36
like normally he lets people like take some damage unless he's in on it oh
26:41
unless he's on the take take the tin full hat off we don't need to do that yet we don't need to do that right now
26:48
all are they're all against Izzy sorry it's just my black onblack cope talking
26:54
as somebody commented last time oh yeah when we were defending
27:03
Jamal yeah that's obnoxious it is because like they just uh they either ignored the fact that you were defending
27:09
Jamal or they think you're light-skinned nobody nobody thinks that nobody thinks
27:16
that they must have seen that well maybe I'm an honorary honorary just cuz we we
27:25
friends Angela invited her to the cookout she's got black on black cope
27:32
too whatever yeah well I I really thought that he could have had a few
27:37
more minutes to work but there was that thing that adna always does he always
27:46
backs up and it used to be his thing like it used to be his little magic trick where he'll back up to the cage
27:52
and you go for the kill shot and then he kill shots you Matrix yes Matrix tricks
27:59
yes it's just um those those kind of things I feel like are more useful in a
28:05
ring and I think that he has there's also something with you have these these
28:12
you know tricks up your sleeve but once people figure it out like you have to evolve past it yeah yeah it's easy to
28:20
rely on it because everything is happening the same he's walking into the
28:25
same traps he's when you're circling he's falling the exact same way that he
28:30
did when you knocked out Whitaker when you knocked out all these other people but people learn from those mistakes and
28:38
they're able to get past it they're able to learn when to go or how to draw out your punch and then go and he kind of
28:44
had I used to call this the piano cat defense and you remember piano
28:54
cat but uh it's really easy to do it's it's like your natural way to react when
29:00
someone throws something in your face go you know and when someone gets him
29:06
backing up and then they fck on him and he does that that's when they're able to
29:11
get past his range that's that moment and because he's so good at leaning back it really stretches him out and leaves
29:18
him open and when there's no when there's the fense there you can kind of predict which way he's going to go so it
29:25
sucks because that used to be the thing that I was so in awe of with Adisa the fact that he could back up into the
29:32
fence and really like set that trap and get them to bite on it and then knock him out as he tried to come in but now
29:39
it seems to be the thing that's gotten him in a lot of trouble with repeatedly yeah with this fight with uh dupes with
29:46
um with uh strick even yeah with perea so it it sucks that um it it was a it
29:54
was an early stoppage but it's still you can see that thing is is the thing that gets him in trouble yeah and it's going
30:01
to be hard to fix at this point because he's had so much success doing it I mean he got the belt doing it so how do you
30:07
fix something that was working for so long I don't know if it's about fixing
30:12
something I think it's adding to his tool belt I think it's it's evolving you know again I I say this repeatedly like
30:19
these these things are just feedback for us with you know what's not working with
30:25
what's working and if he still has it in him if he still wants to I believe that
30:31
he can evolve past this and he can like learn from this feedback because this is Time and Time Mo again we've seen it not
30:39
work to his benefit anymore so it's time to to add something to to take that out
30:47
of you know in the Forefront of his tool belt yeah you know what I I liked seeing
30:52
was his um counter wrestling that's something I feel like we haven't seen
30:58
since he fought Derrick Brunson so to see him go for that like double overhand throw and to just counter eoles
31:05
wrestling attack with his own I'm like yes do more of that [ __ ] you know because if he started adding in the
31:12
wrestling faints just like touching the leg coming up top doing his same lateral
31:17
movement stuff that he did but pressuring forward a little more I feel like he'd start to find even more weird
31:24
openings that he didn't necessarily uh use used yet like just keep using
31:30
different tricks keep uh you know adding to the tool belt like you said but man
31:35
imol he looked determined to land those punches and so yeah talk about somebody
31:43
that's added to his tool belt we saw it in his last fight with uh Brendan Allen did I say that Brendan Allen yeah yeah I
31:50
said it right it's American name hard to mess up and not like didn't know if I
31:56
put the right vow in in the right Brenan Allen actually
32:02
Alan but we saw it in that fight he surprised us with his grappling he took
32:07
the wrestling to Somebody That was supposed to be able to capitalize on their um on the grappling offense and he
32:14
really shut him down and he did it in this fight too we saw him take ad asagna
32:19
kind of out of his game just really capitalize on places where you know we saw Adisa potentially being able to
32:26
thrive MH so I I have to give you know my hats off to imav in in
32:35
how just on point he was with everything he has really shown in these last like
32:42
two or three fights just the the growth the well-roundedness that he actually is because before we were really only
32:48
seeing him as a striker right right we and you have to think that he's going to be next in line after uh the three
32:55
people he just took out he just beat um Brendan Allen like you said or brenon
33:01
brenon uh Jared koner um Del and now
33:06
adna that's that's the Mountaintop it's an impressive resume of that Division
33:11
and I know people are going to chive in and they're going to say you know oh what about kayv but but but what has he
33:18
done lately he has not and I'm sorry I know he's he's an incredible fighter he's amazing he put away Whitaker which
33:25
is a tough task really impressive I'm still very upset about that I can't I can't forget about
33:33
that I was very upset um just because he's he's just a fan favorite you know he's just so likable as a fighter and a
33:40
champion um but I just feel like the
33:45
consistency the the body of work that imav has done outweighs the you
33:53
know sporadic fights that we see come out in a short amount of time too this is
34:00
like within the last two years that he took out all those scalps so that's pretty impressive and then we look at uh
34:07
kayv who um yeah fought Whitaker in 2024
34:13
beat Usman 2023 Kevin Holland 2022 like these it's
34:19
so we have to wait so long in between each fight um but it depends on the fan
34:24
favoriten and who is more of a fan favorite is it kayv or is it uh imov
34:31
obviously obviously and we saw what happened with uh poor via when she was
34:37
getting ready to fight Suarez and they're like actually no we're gonna save Suarez for for something to make us
34:44
more money you know like that that's what they do so I wouldn't be surprised if Kamaya was next but it might be a
34:51
good idea for imav to take a little break he's been charging charging along
34:57
getting a bunch of wins racking up a bunch of points so he can probably chill at the top for a little bit and wait for
35:03
his opportunity would you wait or would you take another fight I think I would wait personally I would wait I would
35:09
wait especially because it's so hard to book kamay so whether he's next in line
35:15
or not there's a good chance you swoop in Fair once that booking happens or if
35:20
they just for whatever reason can't book it on the date that they want to book it fair point so yeah wait for that
35:27
opport oity imol you earned it can't believe you did that to my boy Adisa so uh uh going back
35:36
to that um Michael Venom pagee fight uh what did you think about the overall performance of both him and my friend
35:44
Sher magedov who does not like taking pictures of me my belly button out it's
35:50
very offensive I should like talk to him with it next time like hey maybe he didn't
35:57
have enough ABS that time I had plenty ABS you always have plenty of abs and it was it was a really high top so you can
36:05
see all five of them it's like five up here you you got to see a little boob in
36:11
order to see the sixth one see that's where you did wrong yeah if I had gotten it all the way up he'd be like you are
36:18
athlete I respect you now I thought you were woman but no no you're just
36:25
athlete um I thought this I I knew the matchmakers were hoping for like a
36:31
spectacular fight but I also was kind of worried that this would be a little bit boring just because just because like
36:37
they're both guys that like to explode and and sometimes they take a little bit
36:43
of time on each other's faces yes all over it and that's what
36:49
happened and that's yeah they
36:56
just um the the stats were kind of crazy uh magedov did not land much in the way
37:03
of of hand strikes which he normally doesn't he's he's definitely like a kicker MH he definitely looks for like
37:08
the big fancy fancy kicks um Michael Paige I think just gave him a problem
37:16
with with the Rhythm with the range um you can study a lot of footage on MVP
37:22
but that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to be able to figure him out inside there and I think that that's what we saw yeah he he switches it up a
37:29
little bit for everyone he fights too he'll he in this fight he was very um
37:36
confident with his hands down um and you see him kind of vary like sometimes he'll come in a little more a little
37:43
more uh ready to throw hands and sometimes he's all the way down there and this time he was just kind of hiding
37:50
his hands from him almost and then when he would jump in the one two was Landing a lot especially after the first round
37:56
he would jump in just land that one two over the top and I think Sher was so dependent on beating that lead leg calf
38:05
kicking him slowing him down that when that wasn't working he didn't really have a second answer yeah and it started
38:11
to get uh pretty exciting once they would get in the pocket like really throw really exchange but you could just
38:18
see the frustration on sher's face like he couldn't do the thing that was supposed to work and I mean let me
38:24
pirate let me be a pirate like we've seen it work before against Michael Venom paage but he's learned from that
38:31
loss and he was able to bounce in and out make a Miss draw things out he really took his time and then when he
38:38
found the mark it was like boom boom and that's the thing that I was talking about when I would be shady towards
38:44
sherah mageta not not because he didn't take photos with me but because I'm I'm
38:50
like okay yes we see the Striking is fancy and he can throw cool [ __ ] but a
38:57
lot of of times when he comes in with the leg kick he's he's standing square and it's like if someone can Dart in and
39:04
shoot that straight line to his face as he's throwing the kick like as long as they're not taking a ton of damage on
39:10
their leg you could do that all day with him because he doesn't turn his shoulders over he's like kind of feeling
39:17
the the range so he can throw something spinning or throw something whippy or
39:23
something like that but when it comes to the first kicks that he throws a lot of times he leaves his head really open and
39:30
those were the moments that I saw uh uh Paige come in with that big almost
39:36
double punch that big leaping one two like that's when he was able to land most of his strikes so I think that kind
39:42
of threw sh off and now he's going to have to go back to the drawing board and and figure out how to deal with someone
39:49
that's a little more tricky um because at the top I feel like everyone's going
39:55
to have answers for what he gives yeah I think it's time to to add that especially at his weight class I mean
40:02
Michael Ven and Paige came up to fight Shar so yeah that's going to be a tough
40:07
run for him if he's getting people in the top 10 yeah it's um you know these
40:15
these kind of you know leveled up fights uh for somebody because as as big of a
40:20
name as Sher is he's still kind of young yeah he's a baby he is he a baby in
40:27
experience- wise so it's just this is one of those fight where I'm like okay go back to the gym you got to start
40:33
adding more volume more setups more tools just giving giving a different
40:39
look because if this is all that you have to asker just like ad aagna like even at the highest level like you have
40:45
to add to your your repertoire otherwise people are going to figure it out and
40:50
then you're going to keep like running into these issues yeah and it's easy to hide from them like it's easy to Avo the
40:57
person that like does the dumb hands down karate style you know at the gym
41:03
like it's easy it's easy to not go with the person who always takes you down because once you go into a fight you're
41:10
at least going to have that confidence hey nobody took me down this Camp was like okay but who are you going with and
41:16
also this person is a lot better than the people you were going with at taking you down so it's one of those things
41:22
where you have to uh he has tons of time he's a huge star um they'll probably
41:28
keep giving him fights like this where it's either going to teach him something
41:33
or he's going to show that he's leveled up against a big name and make more fans
41:40
but I think that was a good humbling experience for him to to just kind of be
41:45
out weired you know with in the kick game and out uh out strategy on the
41:51
standup game like he didn't have to go for takedowns Michael Venom paage didn't
41:56
Sher refused to go for takedowns and he proved it but I mean hey man you're in
42:02
the land of obes you should add that to your game because that with the spin kicks like that's why uh
42:11
um shav cot is so scary because he can do it all if you can do it all nobody's
42:18
gonna want to fight you and he's already shown that he's exciting so now he can add the boring stuff to his repertoire
42:24
and just be a total monster yeah yeah agreed agreed all right well
42:33
um you know we we should probably mention the the craziest thing that is
42:38
trending right now in MMA News which is uh Bryce Mitchell oh my god oh Bryce
42:44
what are you doing Bryce I was just singing your Praises bro what are you doing I remember when you were just a
42:50
little young wet behind the ears freshly weight cuted fighter asking me if I
42:59
uh if my hair lost water and that's why my Afro was tinier and look at you now wanting to go
43:07
fishing with Hitler what the hell you know sometimes people say
43:16
things and it is just baffling to me yes it's just really confusing and his
43:24
entire podcast yeah first his first episode I wonder how many followers that got him a
43:30
lot I bet he gained I I saw somewhere that he gained about 16,000 followers on
43:37
Twitter after saying what he said this is where we're at this is this is the
43:43
worst timeline we're living in it I say this a lot and I I I really do mean it like
43:51
when when athletes when people when when anyone has a big platform
43:57
like you have to realize you have a responsibility to just be I mean to be
44:05
to be honest and forthright with with what you're saying but like just also be really careful about what you're saying
44:11
and what you're putting out there it's um we we just we have a responsibility
44:16
to fact check we have a responsibility to just make sure that what we're saying
44:22
is educated um it's just he and he released
44:28
apology did he he did um what did he say so he said I'm sorry I sounded
44:33
insensitive I definitely was not trying to offend anybody uh but I know I did I know that a lot of people died in the
44:40
Holocaust and that's a fact Hitler did a lot of evil things I think we can all
44:45
agree on that I'm definitely not a Nazi and definitely not uh do not condone any
44:51
of the evil things Hitler did so in the podcast he I know
44:58
he was saying that Hitler could not have in fact killed that many people it
45:03
wasn't possible that K Hitler could have killed millions of Jews in the Holocaust
45:11
the Holocaust was not real he also said um he is self-educated he's not educated
45:19
by the system that allows us to think that Hitler is did these things and
45:25
killed people um yeah that apology does not reflect what he actually said in the
45:32
podcast at all and and most people are just seeing the little clip and I I felt
45:38
like I should watch the whole thing because I've met the kid and he seems
45:43
like a nice guy he's doesn't seem that smart like Dana said but he definitely
45:49
doesn't seem like he has ill will towards people um and the the podcast is
45:56
bad bad it's really bad like that little clip was not the worst thing that he
46:03
said oh my you know like um he went on to like generalize about like meeting
46:10
Connor and then he started talking about a rape case but then he started saying well all those Muslims are raping people
46:16
and raping children and no one's talking about that and he just wants to get the Muslims out and you know just like
46:23
really going on a lot of hateful things and then I feel like he thinks he
46:30
makes it okay by saying at the end I'm not saying all Muslims are this I'm not
46:35
saying all Jews are this but you already said it so you can't you can't erase a
46:43
bad Deed by saying oh not all of them just the ones that I'm talking about
46:49
because that's what generalizing is that's what racism is it's it's a sum up
46:54
of what you think about most of the people who who uh carry this Banner of I am this or
47:01
I am that and it's gross and I think another thing that people missed uh from
47:07
the clip is that he the segue to that was him talking about Elon Musk salute
47:13
hailing Hitler you know and his speech at the inauguration it's it's about him being it's a segue from him talking
47:20
about being invited to inauguration so yeah it's bad that this kid said that
47:26
but also like the company you keep you know it's it's just a really I don't know I I
47:33
don't like any of this I don't like how much uh politics are are just swarming
47:39
the MMA scene right now um and you know it's it's the the reason that I was so
47:46
worried and I remember you asking me like what why is everyone so uptight about this election like the reason is
47:53
because it makes people who think these things feel super comfortable and this
47:59
Bryce Mitchell who was invited to the inauguration who was fraternizing with all these people he felt super
48:07
comfortable saying he would go fishing with Hitler and it's it's tough to watch
48:13
because I love MMA I I love a lot of the people who are saying these things but
48:18
you know it's like dude like making us all look really [ __ ]
48:24
dumb well I think he's making himself look dumb eh we can't we can't generalize an
48:30
umbrella he is gaining fans from this from what Happ kind of crazy it is kind
48:36
of crazy instead of people standing up and saying and speaking out against it
48:43
it's ging him fans it is that is kind of confusing to me it is
48:49
but uh you know uh Dana also released a statement saying um calling Bryce
48:55
Mitchell stupid over over again saying he's one of the dumbest people he knows but also Free Speech oh what do you what
49:02
do you think about um that do you think he should be punished in any way uh do
49:09
you think that uh there's any type of repercussions that like the company should be uh seen to force on him or is
49:16
it is free speech like a good enough answer I mean I think it it is what it
49:23
is and if you give that freedom to one person you have to give it to everyone
49:29
so I understand that that's their policy and it's their way of staying hands off and kind of uh being I guess a bit
49:36
diplomatic about it so they don't have to get their hands dirty
49:42
um it's their it's their take I don't I I just don't know I I just don't
49:49
know what what the right or or wrong thing is but that's that's what they said and they're allowing it so you know
49:57
what I think they should do what take away his shorts no more mossy oak shorts for you
50:05
you lost your privilege no more shorts for him I can't even wear red shorts
50:11
without claiming a different country like I have to like I can't wear a a
50:16
random color but this guy who wants to go fishing with Hitler gets his own shorts take his shorts
50:23
away I think that would be more than a slap on the wrist for him he'd
50:29
cry he would cry why
50:35
Dana oh but yeah um I don't know I thought that I thought that was wild that that was the most trending topic uh
50:43
we had to talk about it it's um I don't know would you go fishing with Hitler
50:50
no no I he I hear he was a good guy before
50:55
the two assass him oh yeah that' be good buy a fishing then yeah yeah there you
51:01
go what would how would you do it in would you put something uh like a grenade in his Tackle Box no i' shoot
51:08
him quick and easy don't like Godfather style don't worry Hitler I'm us
51:16
fish we're going sheep fishing I'll be in the back of the boat behind them hey
51:22
I think a Harpoon Gun would be cool that would definitely be very
51:28
dramatic and Theatrical he'd never see it coming I'm like he might hear it though those things are noisy I'm like
51:34
yo we're hunting Moby Dick and start like C no stand right there get the telescope stand right there okay don't
