and we're back with another set of two straws did we check her
0:19
the headphones just jumped off of my head just now wow you looked a little sleepy
0:25
thank you thank you that enthusiasm woke me right up ready
0:30
for another training session that was all the energy for the day and now we have more energy arriving
0:37
yes oh my gosh mr rogers neighborhood who do we got oh
0:43
my gosh oh well we have uh mr conductor himself hil wilson hayes oh my gosh i
0:49
know that guy he's my friend he's my friend too gosh he's so fun butcher hates him but you're absolutely does not
0:56
like he's not having anything to do with his presence oh my goodness what a chaotic start
1:01
to the podcast that's okay we're not gonna stop and start over again no no we're not
1:06
this is this is just life you know sometimes life hits you fast uh kind of similar to
1:12
the week that i had last week tell us about your week because what a whirlwind pretty exciting yes
1:20
butcher shut up hush hush okay good boy i think that worked oh my
1:28
goodness no almost almost it'll be fine uh last week i got the call asking if i
1:34
wanted my fight versus your former opponent loopy godinez if i wanted that fight that was
1:41
scheduled for october to happen this week in san diego and let me guess what you said hell today yeah
1:48
because angela hill don't do fight camps she only does the short notice thing that's just how she does it
1:55
that's my favorite [ __ ] yeah i'm like uh i'm like the what is his name uh james
2:01
krauss he oh yes he's kind of retired but also always available to fight short notice
2:07
even if he's cornering someone that's how he does it too he's always cornering people so he always has the opportunity
2:12
to just be like hey i'm a man like i'm here i have another training partner he can corner that person
2:19
it's fine i'm trying to get paid like let's go let's go and then he wins
2:26
it's crazy it's crazy that's my that's my deal i am undefeated i believe and short notice
2:33
fights that's i should just stick to doing that and
2:39
never fight with a fight camp again i think i think that's uh my calling i mean why would you do anything else
2:46
other than what works for you yeah i need to be more like batman you know just appear when needed
2:53
you should start coaching people and cornering people more often so you can just like already have uh
3:00
your hand in the pot the hat yes what is that called what's that saying um i already have my yeah i think that's it
3:07
hand in the pot hannah the cup so i think that's it just you're there two hands and one cup hey yes
3:14
i'm ready i'm ready to go i'm i'm i'm just hitting up anyone who's doing the main event
3:20
as the loud fourth person because you get four corners when you do a main event and i can just be that person
3:27
because i'm pretty loud in the corner and if i get called to fight they don't need me exactly just go fight it'd be
3:33
like a great strategy good job or i could show up after the fight and continue to be loud
3:38
you've obviously thought about this [Laughter]
3:47
you know me very well oh what you got there oh my gosh more chaos more chaos this is going to
3:54
be a great show um adam was nice enough to drop me a little beverage a little bevy
4:01
oh yeah that's got gin in it yeah adam has that scottish
4:07
heavy hand very very generous pour he has i appreciate
4:12
it yeah who doesn't man like only prudes don't appreciate that kind of stuff um
4:18
but yeah we had a great weekend of fights and that really pumped me up for my fight this weekend
4:24
short notice as it may be uh we had a ton of finishes on the tough
4:29
finale we got to see a lot of story lines play out with the finalists
4:35
and the week before we didn't have a show but we got to watch the nunes and pena rematch so lots of stuff to talk
4:42
about today lots to unpack where do you want to start um i don't know let's let's start with the
4:48
tough stuff because we've really been focusing on that for our first episode so i
4:54
i want to know and we'll get to juju our buddy juju
4:59
later but i want to know were you surprised by the heavyweight fight
5:05
uzman brother versus palga during the first round i was like ah
5:11
yeah i don't know how this is gonna go palga was keeping range using the footwork i mean
5:16
it made me a little bit nervous about the way he was you know jumping in and out the first round because they were um
5:24
it was like one shot in and out yeah um and he was really using that range and
5:29
mohammed usman was only throwing like one shot at a time i mean they were they were big shots big old shots they made
5:35
me very nervous um and as you know as we know heavyweights
5:42
have one punch knockout power so yeah anything can happen but after the first round i was a little bit nervous from
5:47
muhammad but you know he he ended all of my my fears in doubt did like right away
5:52
in the second round he's like you know what i got my distance i got my range i know i'm going to hit him with and i
5:57
think he timed palga's uh he had a big jab in yeah and he didn't retract fast
6:04
enough he just kind of stuck that jab in and moe caught him with um what was it a left hook it was like a yeah it was like
6:10
the door opened and then it shut right as palga thought he was okay or out of
6:16
the way in danger it was so nasty and then that follow-up shot too that was
6:21
mean can you imagine i bet it must have felt like having a bag of bricks just dropped
6:29
on your head after already getting hit with a bag of bricks like that was
6:35
that was nice somebody from powell can't send him um like uh send
6:40
mark smith the ref a nice little fruit basket yeah for getting in there fast oh my god yeah that's scary that's got to
6:46
be scary too because as a ref you you are responsible for fighter safety
6:52
and you have to be able to get in and like completely break that up before any more you know harm comes to a young
6:59
fighter so that's that's a i forget what fight i was watching but uh i think it was ufc and they had the
7:06
world's skinniest most slight ref like he looked like a thin man and he was
7:12
roughing either light heavyweights or heavyweights and i'm just sitting there like who who allowed this to happen like
7:19
you're gonna make this little guy jump into the middle of the fight in the most heated moment and try to break it
7:24
up like this guy's gonna get killed they're gonna fold them in half they're gonna break him like a stick so usually
7:31
they put in a size appropriate ref like they won't have keith peterson doing the
7:36
the curtis blades versus you know i would hope not yeah i mean not saying
7:41
anything against keith peterson's abilities but he's dirty he's a sturdy little guy yeah but little key word
7:48
little he was a little they wouldn't they wouldn't even see that he's stopping the fight like flick
7:53
him off the shoulder get out get out of here man i'm working
8:00
oh man yeah that was that was a nasty fight and something kind of stupid happened it was
8:06
it was one of those fights where uh it's it starts at a cautious pace
8:13
so you don't really expect that to happen immediately after turning away
8:18
but my dumb ass i was we were watching on a playstation i accidentally hit one of the buttons and
8:24
exited out of the espn app so i'm like oh don't worry you know it was a cautious cautious space fight i'm
8:31
sure nothing happened we turned it back on and ooze my brother's just
8:36
we're like no what did we miss oh my god i can't believe that happened we missed the best part
8:42
uh so um we had to replay that and that that hook was nasty so congratulations
8:48
to uh muhammad usman for that nasty nasty finish oh oh my gosh so
8:55
mean and so what they were talking about during that broadcast where they they reminded me and the audience that
9:02
mohammed actually usually fights prefers to fight at 205. oh because he was on the ultimate fighter
9:08
i'm gonna have to continuously cut weight that would be way too much weight to cut consistently in that short span
9:15
uh that short time span for sure he's huge he's huge that is a massive man and i
9:20
like i am sure that that power transfer will be completely there
9:27
for 205. and it'll be easier to reach people too yeah he is he is not um the
9:32
tallest for the division heavyweights are pretty big guys but he does have that athleticism and that power that
9:38
could carry him in the heavyweight division so i'm curious to see if he will stay at heavyweight or move down to
9:44
205 where you know he likes to be preferably yeah i think i think palca is a natural heavyweight
9:51
right or does he also i'm pretty sure he is yeah so that's a that's a big win you know and he proved that he can close the
9:58
distance and be a threat at heavyweight i like the
10:04
i guess the trend of fast athletic heavyweights that we're seeing right me too
10:12
as opposed to okay someone might get knocked out or we'll go to the second and third round
10:17
and there's just gonna be two really big tired guys you know swinging swinging very slowly but very heavily and taking
10:25
a deep breath in and trying to swing again so i like that there's this new wave of just these fast
10:32
uh athletic looking guys that look like they could play football or something and now they're in the ufc knocking
10:38
people's heads off like this is gonna be a scary weight class i think in the next five years yeah it's
10:44
interesting to see how it'll develop i i've never been a huge fan of the heavyweights just because i'm like ah
10:50
they're not so technical that kind of thing i like the lighter weight classes because there's a lower
10:56
percentage of like one punch knockout finishes but it is very exciting as as a fan as a
11:04
viewer to see like really well-built athletic heavyweights getting
11:09
in there in the mix yeah yeah i'm excited for it i'm excited for muhammad usman congrats on the win and now we
11:16
should definitely talk about our girl julianna miller getting in there and dude like when i
11:22
look up the tough 30 finals everything is talking about juliana she
11:27
is she's she's on her way up like she's gonna be a big deal and
11:33
i don't think it's going to her head quite yet but i think i think it might eventually people really dig her style
11:40
yeah yeah i i forgot to do the before the ultimate fighter finale oh yeah
11:48
yeah the screen grab how many followers they have i like to always check that before and after a
11:54
fight because it's always you know crazy to see if you know the mainstream public
12:00
responds well to a fighter or if they don't because you know it just it depends on the fighter what you know
12:06
viewers want to see and they definitely want to see giuliana because i know that it crept up i didn't get that screenshot
12:11
to see where she was at before but i know it has gone up exponentially yeah
12:17
i'm sure she's fun to watch she's like a very out there big personality she's very
12:22
sweet and she has you know i mean win or lose she has an exciting style yes she goes for it yeah she she has that female
12:30
rocky balboa quality tour where she acknowledges that she has a lot of
12:35
learning to do she's she's not sure if she's the best like when she was getting ready to fight this broken girl she said
12:41
something like um i don't i don't think i'm better anywhere but i have more heart
12:47
so that in itself is something that speaks to a lot of people who don't feel the most athletic they don't
12:53
feel the strongest they don't feel the best but they know that they want it more than the other person and that's
12:59
that's the that's the vibes that she's giving off in her fights and her fighting style
13:04
not just her media stuff but her fighting style just getting in there and getting nasty and and those elbows i
13:11
mean how could you not be a fan of the elbows that she landed when she got to mount in the third round that was that
13:17
was a big fight it was one-way traffic though the whole way through but that moment made it such a bigger
13:26
uh introduction into the ufc than if she had just coasted to a decision
13:32
absolutely and i mean it didn't hurt that there was some you know tension from when there was the build up there
13:38
was i didn't see that from brogan walker like on the show that she was gonna get so um
13:46
kind of and i mean i i didn't see that from her
13:53
in any you know of the other kind of interactions on the show or like previously i didn't you know see too
13:58
much of that or any at all but it's always interesting to see how a fighter you know
14:04
builds themselves up what they have to do to psych themself out um i don't know if it
14:09
helped or hindered her you know if it i mean you know she she did lose the fight so we'll say it didn't work i i feel
14:16
like her game plan she just didn't adjust and that's one thing i noticed about uh uh usman
14:22
brother is that he made really good adjustments in his final fight on the show and i felt like brogan
14:29
just kept trying to do the same thing without success like over and over again she went to the clinch position and then
14:36
juliana would reverse it and get and get a takedown she'd get like a little knee bump or something and land on top and
14:42
every round after that she did the exact same thing forced the clinch and then would get taken down and end up on on
14:49
bottom so i do wonder if that bull-headedness if just going
14:54
forward and and being so i guess
15:00
i guess not sure yourself but just wanting to get that back so bad maybe that came from the tension before she
15:07
didn't want her to have that one up she didn't want her to be able to win the clinch positions even though she
15:13
continued to win the clinch position she didn't think maybe i'll try something else well it's interesting to me like i
15:19
wonder if that was in fact her game plan going in because that was her her default that was her go-to
15:25
and for me i saw rogan i mean she definitely has more refined striking than juliana uh she has
15:34
you know a little bit more experience than juliana fight wise she's a black belt not um you know julian is no slouch on the ground
15:40
she's a really good brown belt um but i just wondered
15:46
if that was like the game plan and that's why she didn't defer from that at all yeah because for me
15:52
thinking about that fight i thought brogan would keep the distance she would stay southpaw which she ended up switching to orthodox a lot which
15:59
surprised me and it got her in trouble and then in the moments where
16:04
you know there was a moment to either disengage create space or clinch she you
16:10
know stayed in there and clinched which is where juliana had her success the whole ultimate fighter yeah
16:17
like every fight in the ultimate fight getting dirty in there and finding a way to drag people down yeah it was just
16:23
interesting i thought that it would be more of like an in and out points you know to kind of grind her down
16:28
find her range and then start capitalizing off of that in in different ways but yeah she did not make those
16:34
adjustments and juliana just kept doing what what she was doing and you know until she got the finish yeah yeah it was
16:40
pretty impressive impressive work by juliana um i'm looking forward to her next fight i
16:47
wonder who they're going to match her with and i'm wondering if any of those other
16:52
people on the show end up getting ended up getting contracts because i already saw a couple of the girls got
16:58
booked to fight and other promotions since it was aired that they lost their fight so i'm wondering if there's any
17:05
other outliers and off of the show or if it's just going to be the tough finalists because it looks like it's
17:12
just us men and it's just uh juliana who are getting the contracts right now that was interesting because for our finale
17:19
yeah we had i mean it was every girl from the season pretty much made the whole undercard and
17:25
then you know the main card we had you know other big names and stuff like that and the people that were in the finals carlin rose um
17:31
so it was interesting that they're being you know i guess very selective yeah um
17:37
but i think there's just plenty of room in both of those weight classes for you know
17:43
them to include people and there were some girls on there that i could see getting contracts so i am interested to
17:49
see who you know if any got on the roster because i think there's you know definitely girls that you know have a
17:54
spot yeah for sure um there were a few girls who lost close decisions um who's
18:01
what was the girl's name that came in short notice and one but then i think she fought brogan and ended up losing
18:08
that fight uh oh um gallardo gallegos laura laura little
18:15
i'll say laura she i felt like she had um a lot of
18:20
potential to be competitive in the weight class 15 because she's obviously naturally
18:27
she's a natural 115 or she got on the show short notice and i think it served her well
18:32
and i think that she showed a lot of really good stuff and could give a lot of people tough fights at 1 15. yeah so
18:38
i am interested to see you know if if that got her in because i can't imagine it being a hindrance yeah
18:45
exactly same with uh peralta she's also um bounced between 125 and 115. uh she
18:53
she wasn't busy enough i felt like maybe they'd make her fight again to just show how
18:59
how good she can be maybe at a smaller weight class or just if she doesn't have to worry about the takedown so much or
19:05
worry about the competition so much uh but i don't know i just kind of like her swagger on the show so i was hoping i
19:12
was hoping she'd be one of the ones that get on get the contract as well yeah i
19:17
kind of see her going more back towards bare knuckle boxing because she just does not like the ground yeah
19:23
and that's just you know that's just from what i've seen and what i've gathered and you know no i i see her
19:30
you know going back to boxing your branco boxing yes that's more her game
19:35
um i don't you know i don't know what's really going on the money is in mma baby
19:41
i don't know i hear they pay pretty well at barnacle boxing i just i wonder what they pay her though because she is kind
19:47
of one of those people who were just in bare knuckle like that was
19:53
her biggest stage but the people who get paid i feel like they came from ufc or
19:58
came from belder and they were big names there and then they're able to negotiate that big contract so i'm wondering if
20:05
she still has that i mean maybe she can negotiate for more now that she's on top but it always
20:11
helps to have that ufc on your resume you know it really does yeah it's a good negotiation tactic
20:18
for those other guys who who have the money but they don't always want to give it to you
20:26
just give them the money just give it to me it's hard bare knuckle fighting oh the hands
20:42
[Laughter] man it is a lose-lose to me i just i
20:49
just i just can't i don't wanna yeah shout out to our girl beck who is amazing at
20:55
it and she was out she was loves made for that [ __ ] for some reason yeah she was i don't get it but i
21:01
support you hey thank you i support you yes we will watch it with our hands over our face
21:08
ready to cover up at any moment oh okay you do that punch okay good good job okay tell me when it's over oh
21:15
man um but uh yeah the the finale too or not
21:20
the finale but the coaches match happened last week
21:26
that was a [ __ ] fight holy [ __ ] i just got like the the tingles thinking about it again it
21:32
was amazing [ __ ] that was fine who did you think was going to win before the fight happened so i wasn't
21:40
sure i think we talked about this our last yeah i think so yeah i was not sure
21:45
if it was really like a fluke if there was something really up with amanda and that's you
21:50
know or that was just the story that she was creating to you know psych herself up i i didn't know because it was just
21:56
such a dominant finish but yeah something looks like it could have been
22:01
off so i was interested to see how it was going to go how she was going to come in and
22:06
i also said that i wanted no matter what i was like i think i want amanda to win because i really want a third because we
22:12
gotta have that tie breaker we're gonna have that trilogy and that's i i think that's what's gonna happen i don't know if it'll happen as soon
22:19
i don't know because it was just five rounds of very dangerous
22:24
yeah decisive decisive uh but hats off to juliana pena because
22:30
there is no quit in that girl yeah and she [ __ ] showed up the next week for the tough dirty finale i mean she had
22:36
hats and glasses and you know all that stuff on but but still she was there was nunes there
22:43
i didn't know no no no i didn't she was there no yeah that's that's [ __ ] cool
22:49
like no matter what you can say about the girl's personality or how she is
22:54
however i know there's a lot of um a lot of people think certain things about the way she presents herself and
23:00
stuff but that's that's really cool to be that loyal to show up for the person that you said you were going to be there
23:06
for and you know just showing that you give a [ __ ] i always feel like those people the people that are harder
23:13
to get close to but once you get close to them they really make it worth it i always
23:20
feel like that shows i don't know just just character it just shows that you're
23:25
that you're a dope ass person i don't know i don't know a better word for it but yeah i
23:32
thought that was cool i thought that was really cool that she showed up in her disguise in her invisible man outfit
23:40
but yeah yeah i mean and to go through the fight that she went through and
23:45
still like walk in there and support her people yeah i don't want to see anyone after a loss you know like i don't know
23:52
[ __ ] you i'm on my couch i am on my couch with my disguise on if
23:58
i show up to the gym that's the only place i'm showing up in person everywhere else don't look at
24:04
me don't talk to me don't ask me how i'm feeling like i don't want to talk to you about it but she showed up into an area
24:09
where everyone there saw her fight and she didn't care she was there to support her girl so i thought that was really
24:16
cool and her wait and she was also both muhammad and and zach's coach oh
24:24
okay yeah so she was there for all three of them so that was really cool i thought that was really cool um
24:31
but that fight was really awesome not just because
24:36
nunes was able to redeem herself was able to go forward but it was competitive like people say that that
24:43
she trashed her like i saw a lot of that online and stuff but it was a really
24:48
competitive back and forth fight and personally i had a feeling that pina might pull it off again and so maybe i
24:55
was looking with slightly different eyes because i wanted to be right but i did
25:02
my heart did want nunez to win just because i'm a huge fan of hers and and i love her style i love uh i i love the
25:09
fact that she is still the fighter that she is and not on a downslide because that always is a little disappointing
25:16
but i did feel like juliana just had her number you know and in this fight she
25:22
showed that maybe she didn't have her number in this fight but amanda made really good adjustments and
25:29
she changed the way that she fought her as opposed to the first fight where it was just punch for punch coming forward
25:36
this time nunes was more disciplined she stepped back she waited and then she
25:41
would land her big shots and that made a huge difference in the fight and then when she felt like she was slowing down
25:46
a bit she took her down sat on her like it was a really well done game plan she she did everything that she needed to do
25:53
to secure that win and not take too much damage because if you see nunes face in the press conference she got hit she got
26:00
hit a lot a lot more i was like when did that happen i know that's what i was saying i didn't i didn't see the thing
26:06
that swolled up swelled up her cheek but you could see every round it was getting bigger and bigger so
26:12
penguin has some power man and i it's it's like deceptive i think she sneaks it in there when she's going for shots
26:19
or something but she has some power and nunes had to respect this time and she definitely did
26:24
i was surprised when nunes came out as southpaw i was like i don't know if i would have done that
26:31
because i again i don't know her camp i don't know how long she's been working at southpaw but to
26:37
completely change your stance in a short time frame like your body doesn't react in natural ways when
26:44
you're standing in a stance that is not like your stance for sure so it was really impressive
26:50
how well she did navigating through that and she kept doing these like really
26:56
tricky like step-in lefts where she would switch her stance and she would hit penny every single time i mean she
27:03
dropped her a couple times with it it was really impressive she looked great uh she had a really good game plan
27:09
but i mean i'm i also have to acknowledge pena just for being so tenacious and there's no quit in that
27:14
girl yeah and i have to respect and admire that when she threw up that arm bar i was like yo
27:20
there's no quit on this girl why are you so crazy just stop just stop
27:26
and she's like nope it's deep that was yeah i got mad respect for her
27:31
after that fight for sure more than when she beat nunes because now it's confirmed
27:38
she just got that dog in it man she's got that dog in and she's going to be a tough fight for anyone including nunes
27:45
yes so i wonder who they're going to have them fight next because i feel like at this point
27:50
like it was decisive enough of a fight to where they you don't necessarily have to give it to pena again
27:58
but at the same time like who else is there in the division that you know
28:03
is in line for it exactly you would make a more exciting fight than those two exactly
28:09
so some people were saying that chevchenko should get a shot at the bannerweight title next for that trilogy
28:17
and i want to see her fight freaking what's her face again me too because that's how
28:23
yes i need to see that fight again yeah they need to run that back they need to like immediately i call for an immediate
28:29
rematch of that fight i did not agree with that decision no and put like a headgear on valentina or something give
28:37
her some kind of padding on her forehead just like stick it on there yeah just a
28:43
maxi pad i mean they let us wear you know knee pads ankle pads why not
28:50
even the sleeve one of those neoprene sleeves those are allowed in most
28:56
athletic emissions or maybe like wrap her braids like ever so slightly over her forehead
29:02
maybe give her some bangs i feel like that would be just enough
29:08
cushion to stop a headbutt from changing the direction of a fight
29:14
it's just enough i mean fluffy bangs very fluffy very flat like feathery fluffied teased yes she would look good
29:21
with it i think she could work she could pull it off yeah i want to see it she looked
29:27
like a doll baby one of those porcelain dolls she does have great skin yes yes great skin milky
29:34
very smooth smooth like a bullet
29:40
anyway stop horn dogging over chef jacob's forehead
29:46
um i want to see that fight happen for sure but if she went to bantamweight how cool
29:52
would this be because you know nunes likes to take her time coming back maybe she defends the 145 ballot against
29:58
somebody is that still a division i think it's not a thing anymore
30:04
i mean it's a thing because she has the belt for it and she's
30:10
yeah i don't know there's people on it i feel like they they don't even have enough for a top ten they have like i
30:16
don't think i swear they don't they have a top six or something in half everybody's in the division yeah
30:22
10 are the people who fought at 45 once when they got called in for a short
30:28
notice fight like holly holm is probably like number two no she only spencer
30:34
who's retired she did when that happened she i think she retired off of a win i don't remember or
30:41
maybe maybe i lost but yeah she retired maybe last year it was a weird one it was it was
30:47
definitely a weird one because everyone was like why are you retiring you're great yeah and i think she just didn't
30:53
enjoy it anymore which is understanding you know she i think she said something like she wants to do other things and
31:00
this is a great ride but she's she's over it yeah she's ready to get off yeah it's hard stop the crazy train you can't
31:07
be on this crazy train half cocked like there's there's no no you gotta love it yeah it's like live breathe and die for
31:14
it you really do yeah it's like all jokes aside like you can't you cannot be
31:20
in this sport if you do not 100 love it because it [ __ ] hurts yeah
31:26
it's brutal literally and figuratively
31:32
man but uh i think it would be cool if if nunes took some time off that they
31:37
allow pina to fight shivchenko in a rematch for the interim bantamweight
31:43
title how cool would that be i like that because they could make 25
31:49
don't think so she looked pretty sucked out or not sucked out but she just looked small i
31:54
think she's not the biggest the ufc pi nutrition team could help her get down
32:00
i'm sure they could but who wants to do that also um pina is mostly head you
32:06
know like she she's she's like i'm gonna tell her you said that no please don't
32:16
but there's not a lot of water that could come from there you know like
32:21
she's not a huge girl but i think she's one of those people that fit perfectly
32:27
in between weight classes like perfectly at 130 yeah not 125 125 would be a bit much like it
32:34
might it might hinder her performance if she makes it for sure um and chivchenko
32:39
just seems like a natural 125 like it doesn't seem like she has any trouble cutting weight
32:45
well it seems like she walks pretty lean yeah and she stays kind of like close to
32:50
fight shape all the time yeah so i wonder how hard that is to maintain i mean
32:56
she's been doing it for years i'm sure that's yeah it's fine but i just i always wonder about people because she's a pretty solid 125 so i do wonder
33:06
how big of an adjustment it would be you know to go up to 135. well she did it yeah i
33:13
know she didn't um but i think i think the risk is worth the reward um just because if she did do it it
33:20
would have to be for a strap a room would make sense if nunes needed
33:26
time off she she does take pretty big breaks in between fights so nunes needed maybe six months off to just recoup and
33:34
you know get a ducks in a row and enjoy life as champion then let the hungry hungry chicks fight
33:41
you know let penguin shiv chinko fight it's just a i don't think anyone said that this could be a scenario but i
33:48
don't know i feel like it would be a smart move for the ufc brass so
33:53
send me a check when it happens you're welcome i know you're watching it's on fight
33:59
pass i mean i'm not i'm not mad at that at all i think it would be
34:05
an exciting fight especially with you know the book of work that they have done
34:10
you know since their previous one so i think it would be exciting i think it could be totally justified and i mean the ufc likes doing exciting interim you
34:18
know fights all the time or interim title fights all the time so i don't see why
34:23
not and i think that penguin could pull out the spiciness in chevchenko like shevchenko is always right on the cusp
34:30
of getting spicy but then she reels it back and it's like but i'm very humble so i will not say that
34:36
and i think that opinion will pull out that [ __ ] you know like that dude it's
34:41
a gift yes it is a gift and a talent and she is
34:47
and she does it with a smile in this very like kind of nonchalant sort of way yeah it's
34:53
it's really impressive it really is yeah like and she gets into his skin she does it eloquently as well
35:01
my favorite line on tough is when they were wrapping up the final episode and
35:07
nunes is like oh you're gonna lose you're gonna lose and she goes that's what you said last time oh my god right
35:13
how like oh there's no winning that like you just gotta wait until fight night to win that
35:20
all right you gotta be like you can't you can't win it that night you gotta wait until the fight to win it she went
35:26
home and trained her ass off after that line like you know it [ __ ] this [ __ ] okay i'll tell you
35:33
what i said last night i'm gonna show you what i said last time and you know you know she's gonna use
35:38
that on pena the next time that they fight oh i hope that's what you said last time what you said
35:46
she's gonna [ __ ] it up oh my goodness that's what you said last time yeah
35:55
she'd have to laugh at that with a smile too yeah smiling she'd have to laugh at that oh my thing's cutting out a little
36:01
bit bro i think it's my headphones so um did you see speaking of uh hail mary
36:08
armbars did you see the first fight of last night's card yes
36:14
and i was going to bring that up to the stephanie egger versus myra buenos silva
36:20
the phantom tap yes the phantom tap what do you think happened dude i couldn't
36:26
i couldn't see it like i really couldn't see it and i may have had a buzz on while i was
36:33
watching it it was the first bite we were waiting a long time for that first fight to start you know i felt like it took forever
36:40
with all like the pre-fight stuff i'm like all right i'm gonna go get like you guys said that we're starting
36:46
yeah yeah and then yet we have not yeah not even close oh my goodness not even close
36:53
i feel like i have to go watch it again but i mean phantom tapping is a real
36:58
thing yeah it really is and um who was the ref in there
37:04
um christine chris yeah cabbage patch that [ __ ] guy
37:12
oh my goodness he was not
37:17
liked on tough at least not on our team no he was not he had also
37:23
not liked when my opponent your next opponent loopy was poking her fingers in my freaking eyes
37:29
he was like i'll allow it like that i was like she's pointing around she's like no she's not i was like
37:35
oh my god i was like because i'm in a very precarious situation right now i think i was like triangled around her
37:41
and i was like against the fence yeah i was just like i'm not gonna argue right now this is not the time nor the place
37:47
but she was all up in my eyes and she was like sorry i was excited i'm like yeah sure she said that she said that
37:52
she was like sorry i was excited i'm like when did she say that after the fight yeah during after she poked you
38:01
oh i'm so sorry girl get out of here oh my god
38:07
i'm i'm actually not surprised because she came up to me oh i was so mad and hugged me i was like
38:14
that is my friend yeah do not excuse me ma'am do not
38:20
hug my friend now that i'm thinking back to it she's probably just sizing me up like oh no
38:26
she wasn't she was seeing how big you are she was so excited to meet you she did this like giddy little like
38:32
oh my god just little like this little thing and i was like i should have pulled a and then i was staring at you too and i'm like don't do
38:38
it don't do it and you did it because you're so freaking nice i can't help it she just looks so happy
38:46
make her pay for it on saturday though i will
38:52
hug her on the ground elbow her
38:58
yes yes she seems like a nice girl but yes she does seem like she gets excited like a
39:05
like a puppy with a treat starts malfunctioning yeah yeah
39:11
tries to throw all the things um yeah so christiani was rough on that armbar
39:18
right and they used instant replay yeah and then they determined that it was in fact a tap but the instant replay didn't
39:25
show you it did not show anything if anything i saw a shadow of the arm go
39:32
so i'm like that looks like a tap because right after she did that the girl lets go but
39:38
what if she was just trying to get her hand free yeah you you you don't know i i i don't know
39:45
i don't have the answer this is like uh but it is a strategy what is what is that thing called a schrodinger's cat
39:52
have you ever heard of that theory excuse me no do i have to google this or do you give me the definition no no i'll tell you about it thank you if it's the
39:58
right word i think it's called schrodinger's cat and it's the theory that if you could put in a cat in a box
40:05
you leave it without food or water before you open that box there is the
40:11
cat exists you know and you don't know that the cat is alive or dead but there's definitely a cat in the box and
40:19
so as long as you don't open the box you don't know if the cat is dead
40:24
so there's this i'm calling peta this is awful so this is similar to the
40:31
tap the fact that the tap the hand was on the other side
40:36
where you can't see it you're never really gonna know there's that fight will permanently exist in a
40:44
realm where there may or may not have been a tap but we'll never know we will
40:49
never know because there's no proof even though one of the judges said he saw a tap but those those small
40:55
objectives are boxing judges they do not know what they are looking at they're not watching my fights definitely not
41:01
they've never watched natural hill fights yeah they haven't they're over there playing [ __ ] candy crush like
41:08
where was it watching i think it was uh juliana and brogan's fight and i saw one
41:14
of the judges she was like trying to like look around the post i was like stop it you don't care stop it you have a monitor right in
41:21
front of you and you're like look at that stop just stop right now yeah she's putting on a show like hey
41:27
has her has a little opera uh opera monocle thing on
41:33
prove that she's watching closely no you're not yeah you don't know what that is you were texting your
41:39
daughter you're just happy it was a finish uh so they pulled everyone and one judge
41:47
saw the tap and so it was deemed to tap but i thought it was really funny how edgar just went silent and i think that
41:53
was the only thing that made me believe she tapped because she wasn't sure
41:59
because the world is existing in this world where you know nobody saw the tap she wasn't
42:04
sure if someone caught it on camera that's my theory so she was just
42:11
playing it silent waiting for everything to pan out waiting to see all the replays that happened and then when they
42:17
started asking people she's like oh it's trying to get my arm free oh you that you guys don't have proof
42:23
that i tapped oh cool i was trying to get my arm free i mean did i deny this story that is my story um it was
42:31
funny how emotional the brazilian girl was was it what is her name again myra um
42:39
bueno silva buenos silva yes it was funny how emotional bueno silva was
42:44
afterwards because she's like i don't lie listen girl
42:51
we don't know if you lie oh we do not we do not
42:56
hate if you ain't cheating you're not trying but it was a deep arm bar so what are you gonna do yeah i mean she was
43:02
definitely in a dangerous situation but again i was like i couldn't tell like i really can tell but i was stoked that
43:08
they used instant replay yeah i was like oh my god we're finally using this thing that we've been talking about trying to get past the commission to use and we're
43:14
finally actually going to use it this is exciting yeah remember um it didn't show anything it's completely useless and
43:20
pointless but hey we used it right remember the fight um who was it it was
43:26
uh the [ __ ] crazy guy with the crazy bloody fight and um
43:33
ben askren and he fought in new york i think or but they fought um [ __ ] what's his name he's
43:41
super famous former champion bloody fight versus the red king
43:47
you know what i'm talking about totally yes um alrighty yeah
43:53
bobby robbie robbie robbie lawler right okay yeah he had a fight with ben askren
44:00
and he was deep in a submission and herb dean stopped the fight even though he
44:06
was giving him a thumbs up and as soon as they stopped the fight he was like what are you doing
44:11
and then immediately aft he's like what the [ __ ] and hurt dean's like oh [ __ ] i'm so sorry yes i remember that
44:18
moment and then he was like it's okay like he was such a g about it so classy he's so dude he's such a i would have
44:24
been like you better start this fight no that that is a classic
44:30
he was super classy but let me just make sure i have the facts straight on that but yeah that that fight would have been saved by
44:38
instant replay yeah you know they would have reset them and continue to fight because the replay
44:43
would have showed that he was fine or maybe i don't know i don't know if it's a if it's a choke if it has the same
44:49
parameters but he was there like he was given a thumbs up and he was there when
44:56
when her dean pulled him off of him so it's kind of a kind of a crappy situation we have that
45:03
there's also there's a weird rule with instant replay in the event of what is it a tko or a knockout or or like a bad
45:11
call or bad stoppage like it still won't resume yeah what is that rule
45:17
it's it's a weird rule and i'm like if you're using instant replay it should be
45:22
able to restart the fight under any circumstances i'm not sure
45:28
i forget what it is i have to look at it and we can talk about it next time but okay i remember there's a weird just
45:33
kind of little like little thing that just did not make sense to me because it's like instant
45:40
replay would be so useful in any fight in in so many different scenarios
45:46
and it should be able to be utilized maybe with the turning of instant replay now that it's like completely
45:51
legitimized that rule went away that's what i'm thinking because there's a lot of new rules like every now and then
45:57
you'll see the ref do this and that means that they're telling um the the commission people to watch the
46:04
tape of that moment that just happened to see if there was a foul that was committed so if there's a phantom eye
46:10
poke or a nut shot or something and the per the fighter complains but the ref
46:15
didn't see it they'll go this and then the people who are watching the
46:21
tape roll back and look at the instant replay and make sure that a foul did or didn't
46:27
happen yeah so adjustments are made after that if there
46:32
was a foul um i'm not sure what but it's they're they're trying to make it a little more fair in there do you know
46:39
what's getting past their eye i am so excited that is finally like a legitimate rule
46:45
because it needed to be forever oh no
46:50
i was gonna say this is a good time i didn't actually say it okay yeah yeah we're gonna tease you guys and you're
46:56
gonna learn good job how great this rule is that jessica loves and you didn't
47:01
hear it has nothing to do with five-minute anything uh and our exclusive fight pass content
