2:19
when you hit that Super Saiyan mode yeah you're just like popped out of the chamber ready to
2:27
ready to light someone up Yes Man am it feels good it's um it's nice
2:34
because I've done more sparring in live rounds than I've been able to in a
2:39
really long time so I think that feels really good hey yeah definitely feels good I've um I mean every fighter trains
2:47
through injuries and I've you know no stranger to that so there have been a lot of camps where I've just had to kind
2:54
of navigate around certain things and this is one of those camps where I feel like I've just been really able to to
3:01
like push through things which is really nice yeah it feels good and now you can push through her
3:07
face feel like I'm in my 20s again with your fist with your young 20-year-old fist unless it's the morning then I feel
3:14
then I feel a little it doesn't sff doesn't that suck um I always remember I was getting ready
3:21
for sparring and I was reaching down to grab a boxing glove like it wasn't it
3:28
wasn't even a big one it was like a 10 oer I was like oh let me put this away
3:35
and then I reached down to grab it too fast and I went up and legit like I needed to sit down I
3:44
laid down because I was like oh no this is what all those commercials are about where they say fallen and I can't get up
3:50
oh I didn't even fall I just reached down too fast like what the hell that
3:55
was the first time I actually felt my age m in a long time so it it sucks
4:02
getting up in the morning but that hot shower that will revive you real quick yeah especially right before training I
4:08
got to get my hot shower otherwise I'm coming in like like smeagle coming in like y let's
4:18
goch back showing last week when um I had dinner with you and Adam and his
4:25
parents oh yeah um I was sitting cross L for too long oh no and then I tried to get up and I was at a 10 in pain like my
4:33
knee my knee was killing me I was like what the I have never had a knee problem in my life but all of a sudden well that
4:40
goes to show that your Poker Face is also really good cuz you did not show pain in front of Adam's parents I was
4:47
screaming I like what is this I mean it lasted for like 15 20 seconds but it was a long 15 20 seconds um you guys are
4:54
like starting to walk and I was like I'm not ready yet I'm not ready to walk go without me yeah oh I just I just forgot
5:01
something let me cry cry beside myself I don't want you to see um we did get to
5:09
watch the fights of Adam's parents that was fun his his mom walked out of the room
5:14
dude she can't take it which which fight was it that oh was
5:19
it K oh it was the uh when he was talking and all the snot came out of his
5:25
yeah out of his nose he handled that very well by the way he did he's like yeah and I just
5:32
s oh oh oh [Laughter] no oh I just heard Adam CU I didn't even
5:39
see it when it happened but I just heard Adam say yeah have his brain just fell out of his head and then his mom looks
5:47
up and goes oh no it walks out the room uh I think it just freaks her out
5:54
that cuz she's sitting in a room with three three ladies who she's called
5:59
lovely yes all right and she knows that we do this and we get in there and that could be us that could potentially
6:05
happen to us with our brains coming out of our nose and it yeah nobody wants to see people they care about lose their
6:11
brains no it's on National Television
6:17
no but whatever I feel like khil turned himself into a hero that night so even
6:22
bloodied busted up and knocked out he showed just all the toughness all the
6:31
skill like the resilience and the fact that he deserved to be in there for that title fight 100% yeah um a another fight
6:39
I want to talk about is the one in our weight class where our uh I guess what
6:47
do you call it our peer Carla sparza our comrade our comrade our our fellow vet
6:55
uh she finally hung up the gloves she fought Tisha Penning and uh
7:02
loss did she did she yeah but you know what it's weird because like uh I don't
7:09
know if this has ever happened for for uh Carla but uh that that might be the
7:16
first time she no no no it happened also with who was it who was it who did she lose to and I
7:24
was like what I forget to pull up a record yeah happened
7:30
before where she's lost a fight where she thought she won um and the same
7:35
thing's happened with Tisha so you kind of you feel bad for Tisha but also
7:40
knowing that it happened in her last couple of fights where it was close enough that she probably should have won
7:46
and she didn't this is a fight where it's just like ah all right but at the
7:51
same time I felt like Carla did enough in the first and third to win was it
7:57
gelia yes it was gelia the gelia fight it was
8:02
very close well actually no it wasn't even close she like rocked her like she
8:08
they showed a highlight from theight she was dropping her she was getting on top she was looking mean and uh ended up
8:16
losing that fight I remember now because after I fought gelia Carla was like same
8:22
thing happened to me like [ __ ] [ __ ] you drop her and
8:28
she wins the decision godamn uh so yeah that was um that it
8:34
was a good fight though I I felt like Carla probably wanted to do a little bit
8:39
more she looked very tentative and I felt like doing that again at altitude your final fight where you want to just
8:46
leave it all hanging out there was kind of a rough um a rough thing to show up
8:52
for it's it's hard people just don't get it you know mhm it's hard and especially
8:57
I mean her her her takedowns the amount of energy it takes to shoot in on
9:03
somebody have somebody defend and then chain takedowns together is very taxing on the system more taxing on than
9:10
striking in my opinion yeah I think um because we're you're shooting on people
9:15
who are good at defending takedowns it's a lot harder it's a lot more energy suck
9:21
uh sometimes like the Alo fight sometimes you could just hang out on the cage and let them wear themselves out
9:27
trying to take you down you can see but he had like that huge gas tank for it but it was a lot of energy compared to
9:34
what Alo was doing to defend um same with uh same with this fight there was a
9:39
lot of moments where Carla was trying to get in she just couldn't Tisha was picking her apart in the first round
9:46
like the she was doing well with her range with the leg kicks with all of that yeah which is why I'm not
9:52
necessarily mad that Tisha won because I felt like this was one of those split down the- middle rounds where Tisha
9:58
landed big she uh she like got Carla into shoot mode because it seemed like
10:04
At first she was content with staying on the feet teacher started landing on her I think she landed a knee too to her
10:11
face like landed a couple punches and then Carla shot and got on top and was good she was good at holding that top
10:16
position but it was literally like halfway through the round so I felt like that was probably the round where it's like okay whatever you're looking for if
10:23
you're looking for top control um the strikes landed I didn't feel like dead
10:29
much in Carla's part but like I don't know like I I it's just one of those
10:34
fights where it's like okay I wish that they judged my fights that way but I
10:40
don't think if I was in a teacher's position I don't think I'd feel confident that I won that round mhm and
10:48
uh that was and she wasn't confident while they were calling it no when she heard 3027 she kind of went yeah yeah
10:55
she did not think that uh she won after 32 and7 because Carla took her down all three
11:01
rounds so she was probably thinking oh they're scoring takedowns again did Tisha land more than Carla all three
11:09
rounds no no it was pretty even on striking yeah yeah when I was looking at the stats and the only round that was
11:16
agreed upon was the second round and that was the round that everyone gave across the board to Tisha yeah and then
11:23
um it was mixing it up um Everybody saw the the first and third round differently I
11:30
had Carla winning the first and third yeah just because how um dominant her
11:35
her wrestling was in the first um I thought she had more control time and she was doing damage in keeping Tisha
11:41
down and then in the third it was it was tisha's calf kick which was really the
11:47
only thing that she was Landing but she was Landing it consistently um and then Carla got a take down towards the end
11:54
and unloaded mhm and I thought that that was enough to steal the round yeah the unload looked really bad like it looked
12:00
like Carla was beating up on Tisha and Tisha said that she thought she scored
12:07
more on the ground um I don't think so I don't think that was the case like maybe
12:13
he hit her shoulders or something but she was Landing big elbows from up here
12:18
to down here and it was the f one of the few times that you really see Carla unload that ground depound like I wish
12:25
she did that more often in her career or at least in this fight it might have made that first round a little more
12:30
clear yeah I think the the kind of like rabbit shots the little punches little elbows that she was Landing um in like
12:38
side control and that crucifix position she could have done a little more just to be like hey look I'm winning I'm
12:44
winning and that's like the struggle with with the fighters and the judges a lot of times you have to perform that
12:51
you're winning not just win it's so frustrating um but yeah I thought I I
12:57
agree with you I thought Carla won the first and third and at least you know uh
13:03
she had the crowd behind her everyone was uh booing t-a that was crazy which
13:09
was wild and this is the second fight of the night too it was loud in there they
13:16
were ready and raring to go it was loud Ed they did all their
13:21
lines they were booing Tisha while she was talking about breast cancer
13:26
awareness I couldn't believe it I was like surely they'll clap for this guys nope
13:34
please I I lost some did she say that she lost someone the breast cancer and I couldn't hear oh my God I I literally
13:41
could not hear but she said that it was you know close to her and it was breast cancer awareness month and she was you know trying to to speak on this you know
13:49
very heavy topic and you could not hear it Utah didn't give a [ __ ] no no Utah
13:56
was not having it we don't give a [ __ ] will be heard they were yeah they were
14:01
mad they were big mad um but you know like sometimes you want to sometimes it's nice to have uh you know the
14:11
the what do you call it just like the rowdy crowd behind you support as long as they're supporting you yeah as long
14:17
as they're supporting you even when they're being a bit of a dick like guys
14:23
stop stop don't don't defend me while they're talking about breast cancer awareness no please no no stop keep it
14:30
going keep it going um but uh it was cool that Carla got to get that crowd support um they were kind of talking
14:37
about that in the commentary how she didn't really get that as much in her career with like the way that she won to
14:43
Belt the second time that super uh people call it the most boring fight in history but hey like she won it doing
14:50
the same thing that she's done on her way up to it she's had some spectacular performances too but she did get a wrap
14:57
for not being the most like entertaining fighter so it was cool that she got to
15:03
go out with a super entertaining like last 30 seconds of a fight and then just
15:08
get that crowd support behind her and uh and you know have them
15:13
boo poor thing like yeah but she'll she'll get another fight you know she'll
15:19
get another fight will be fine she'll get a good she's moving on she's moving you know moving on and forward but uh
15:25
that was Carla's moment and I think that um you know she had a really beautiful
15:32
send off and you know not a lot of people get that and I think that it was it was earned and deserved and I think
15:39
it was really beautiful and she got to be there with her family the little kid dressed as a Cookie Monster it was
15:44
adorable uh it was a beautiful moment did you see uh our beautiful uh
15:49
highlights in her beautiful S I did I
15:56
did they were like we have we prepared something for you before you go and I
16:01
was like [ __ ] I had to make sure Adam's parents weren't in the
16:07
room you're going to see some familiar faces it's not going to be something you
16:14
like like okay good they're gone okay all right well I'll watch it it was a quick couple seconds each
16:21
hey I'm honored to have made the highlights I love it I earned it
16:30
listen we we've been around we've been there a minute that was that was around the same time Eddie Alvarez told me if
16:35
you ain't cheating you ain't trying oh it was because in that fight in my fight in the house uh against Carla my only
16:42
fight in the house um I saw the light at the end of the tunnel because she was on my back and I started elbowing her and
16:50
she like actually reacted to that and I'm like oh okay that worked and so I
16:56
had a second and I looked to the left and I saw the cage and I was like
17:05
Freedom no and then the ref yelled at me and I went oops and then I felt an arm
17:12
go around my neck and I was just like [ __ ] like literally cheating got me
17:17
submitted and I told that story to Eddie Alvarez and he's like hey if you ain't cheating you ain't trying trying not
17:24
sure if that was before or after he Wet Willie dust a party afterwards oh God no I think he he went
17:33
for the wet afterwards yeah yeah what year was that oh man I'll have to look
17:40
yeah if it was after 2014 then yeah it was definitely after
17:45
but yeah he walks the walk for sure um but that was a a really cool send off
17:50
for her uh the verdict scores also have her winning the first and third and you
17:57
know sometimes it's just the angle too that that the refs are in that the commentators are in they're seeing
18:03
something a little different um I thought the commentators were really seeing something different in the
18:10
Buckley versus Wonderboy fight 2018 um 2018 was very very long after he
18:17
stuck to his gun long time love it it's his
18:22
Mantra uh that fight was frustrating to watch because they were not giving
18:29
Buckley any credit to his body of work and he was in my mind he was winning
18:35
that fight um I have to pull up the scorecards but I thought Buckley was
18:42
solving a really complicated puzzle which is Wonder booy yeah um Wonderboy
18:49
is a sharpshooter he has a really hard style to get a look at um in in training
18:57
before you enter the cage and and it's a lot and and Buckley was was really having none of it he was
19:04
walking through it with his with his big punches with his kicks uh with his takedowns he was he was doing every
19:11
single thing well and he was getting no credit for it yeah he it was perplexing
19:16
it was it was he came in hot he came in hot he he swarmed Wonder Boy got on the
19:23
inside got that big takedown in the beginning of the round I was just like oh my God he's he's doing it he's doing
19:29
it in the entire time I felt like he was pressuring well um the things that
19:34
Wonder Boy landed seemed to land on the elbow frame or on the chest or he was
19:40
getting out of the way of it like Wonder Boy was trying to stay on the outside and Buckley was doing a good job of
19:47
bobbing and weaving kind of like a you know kind of like a Mike Tyson Style just like using his smaller frame to get
19:54
on the inside and land bigy shots so not big loopy but just land like shots over
20:01
and under as opposed to straight once he got into the pocket um I thought he did
20:07
an amazing job I felt like he was just controlling the pace in the first and second I think a lot of people had it
20:15
first round for Wonderboy second round for Buckley I had the first two for
20:21
Buckley before The Knockout and um uh some I think another judge had the first
20:27
two for Wonder Boy so I was just like what are they seeing like this fight must look different from every angle cuz
20:34
literally the judges on each angle of the Octagon we seeing a completely
20:40
different fight yeah the majority gave the first round to
20:45
Wonderboy and the second round they were giving uh to
20:53
Buckley and and I think um you know I I
20:58
I was really frustrated with like DC's commentary especially because he was
21:05
downplaying everything that Buckley was doing like anytime well you know there's beef there well there's beef but you
21:11
have to be professional you have to be neutral no matter don't don't discredit
21:17
something that this guy is doing that is extremely hard to do many fighters have
21:23
tried to do what he's doing in that moment and your job there is to highlight was actually going on and he's
21:29
using I mean if that if that's why which it always seems like there's some kind of personal drama you know when when
21:37
when he doesn't like a fighter I think C certain people are able to uh not put
21:43
their own personal like what do you call it just like feelings into when they're
21:49
talking about the fighters like Dom does it pretty well he's great at staying neutral he's great at staying neutral
21:55
he's such a little [ __ ] talker but when it comes to doing his job he's got
22:01
tacked yeah when it comes to doing his job he doesn't he does it professionally he doesn't like discredit the person for
22:07
what they're doing he doesn't like downplay their aggression or like the whole time DC is like oh he's rushing in
22:14
too much he's doing this and that like that's what's scoring him these points he's rushing in and getting takedowns
22:20
that you would have credited lendo for getting but you're not going to credit him for getting a takedown on someone
22:26
who's notoriously hard to take down like I I just thought that was a really strange thing that was happening but
22:33
when you told me about the beef then it made a lot more sense so what was the beef between him and Buckley apparently
22:41
Buckley said something about DC and DC clapped back and then it
22:47
became you know an internet Twitter clap back okay but at at the pre-f fighter
22:53
meetings uh before the fights during fight week uh there was supposedly it was squashed they had you know
23:00
gentleman's handshake and and called it even I think Buckley took accountability you know for for he said um but it's
23:10
it's hard people are are human and everybody has a bias and a Prejudice and
23:15
and sometimes our emotions get the better of us and sometimes it's it's hard to stay on that neutral track well
23:22
I know a lot of Fighters have issues with DC when he commentates because he
23:27
is trying to be this character and he's trying to be funny and I think a lot of
23:32
times he just says what he's thinking and he has no filter but what he's thinking is usually something kind of
23:38
shady a lot of times it's something a little rude and you know he gives
23:43
certain people more criticism than others and it it starts to come out come
23:49
clear the more you listen to and commentate so I think uh I don't know DC
23:54
needs to chill out a bit paint the picture that's actually there but I
23:59
guess that's what gets people excited about watching fights because you do have these opinionated people calling
24:05
the shots and telling you what's happening and another person who was really opinionated was Joe Rogan not just not during this fight but whenever
24:13
we had like the split decisions I feel like Joe Rogan didn't agree with any
24:18
decision that happened at 307 and it kind of validates anyone's opinion who's
24:24
already thinking that which is why it was annoyed that he was saying that Buckley wasn't doing
24:32
well because it was obvious that he was no he was doing a great job uh Thompson
24:37
is really hard to take down he's hard to land strikes on he's so Elusive and and
24:42
fast and he has a really challenging style and and Buckley was landing and getting in in places where other people
24:49
haven't and you know uh talking about biases a lot of people are very very
24:54
biased to Wonder Boy uh they they he's there's nothing there's nothing to
25:01
dislike about him he's nice he like he like works well with kids he's like a
25:08
hard worker he has a karate background like there's no there's no Muay Thai kid
25:13
movie there's no like wrestler kid movie there's a Karate Kid movie and everyone
25:19
loves that movie and so he is uh living in the hearts and minds of a lot of fans
25:27
like especially a lot of like like American fans who grew up on this karate kind of upbringing and stuff and they
25:33
like looked up to all the karate guys out there so so Wonder Boy holds a
25:39
special place in a lot of people's hearts and so there's always going to be bias towards him because of that um I
25:46
was looking on like the comments and this is I I never see this really unless
25:52
like somebody beat up a pretty girl like that's the only time I see this but on
25:58
the comments people are like man I'm never going to forgive Buckley for knocking out Wonder Boy and I'm like huh
26:05
I don't really see this that often I feel like it has to be someone who is I don't know like a I don't know like a
26:13
GSP or a Wonder Boy or like a a Jose Aldo like these people that we Regal in
26:21
this like really high Manner and then you knock them out you're like no you're disrupting like just told me Santa
26:28
didn't exist yeah exactly you're disrupting like what I believe is true My
26:34
Religion so yeah I think it's hard for people to accept maybe maybe that's what DC was on on top of the beef in drama
26:42
maybe potentially well we don't know we don't know but dude that was a crazy knockout for bucklee what do you think
26:49
is next for him after uh because a lot of people who have beaten Wonder Boy
26:54
have gone on to do great things let's see
27:02
rings I just got away from it I don't know why yeah the last person to beat Wonder
27:08
Boy was shavkat and we're talking about title contention for him now
27:15
um let's see and the also another person the other last couple of people to beat
27:21
him were balow and Gilbert Burns so this is a huge
27:26
deal uh Buckley knocking out not just beating but knocking out Wonder Boy in the way
27:34
he did yeah so Buckley was 11 and Stephen uh Stephen Thompson was
27:40
nine I want to see I bet he could get like a you know Ian Gary Sean Sean Brady
27:49
I mean he could probably I would love to see him fight Colby ooh so who did he call out anyone no he
27:57
didn't not I heard which is weird because he's always calling his shot yeah H I wonder what that's about well
28:04
hopefully we see uh Buckley get another big name soon everyone above him is a big name but he's climbing that ladder
28:11
fast yeah there there are definitely fights to be made that are really going to push him to the top I I really like e
28:18
Gary and Colby I think those are fun ones to make and definitely winnable fights for him um and yeah we'll see
28:25
what happens with that with the new Mansa mhm yeah um uh one fight that we didn't talk
28:32
about yet though was Kayla versus Catelyn you know what katyn makes
28:39
everyone look small and Kayla made her look petite
28:44
right holy [ __ ] like why you beating up on that little girl leave her alone um I I didn't know how this fight
28:54
was going to go because I thought Holly Holmes was going to be a lot more challenging of a matchup for Kaya and
29:00
you just don't know like you know coming from a different promotion you don't know exactly how somebody's going to do
29:05
but she passed that test with flying colors and then what she did with Katlin she ran into some issues she faced some
29:11
adversity but she still got her down she still imposed her will she still showed
29:18
um you know a pretty dominant performance and so I yeah I'm just really impressed with
29:25
Kayla I think that you know she's she's got eye on the prize and I if not one
29:31
more fight I see a title fight next yeah she's up there now we were talking about the rankings earlier and um for her
29:38
being ranked number three already which I think is kind of wild that she jumped up there it I don't think Holly was
29:44
ranked number three when they fought but now Kayla Harrison is up there ranked number three I mean record has something
29:50
to do with it but like Juliana Pena said in the press conference who have you
29:56
beaten you know so it's it's going to be interesting to see who they give her
30:02
next if it's not a title shot but I feel like if you're going to put her up there in the rankings just pull the trigger
30:09
just let her fight for the title I feel like that's what they're going to do with this um uh what's his name the guy
30:15
who's fighting Roy Roy Val next week oh the uh Japanese guy yeah like if he
30:22
beats Roy Val then they're definitely going to give him that title shot next taturo
30:28
yeah t Tyra Tyra Tyra and he hasn't been in the UFC for long no but he is 16 and0
30:36
and they are very hot on him yeah so uh I I feel like um you know just do it do
30:44
it you guys make the rules let her fight for the title I don't think uh pinga really has that much say in who it's
30:51
going to be she can make a suggestion and hope that they agree but I don't think she can say no the UFC once with
30:58
they want yeah they want what they want and they're going to get what they get yeah hopefully she'll get you know
31:04
more money for it but uh yeah it just seems like that's the story line that they're building towards and they're
31:09
building towards it fast it's kind of like it's such a fast trajectory just like uh Pera you know it's um I kind of
31:19
wanted a little bit more of a story build but now now that we're here I'm loving it yeah yeah and so uh same thing
31:25
with Yuri too he had like a super fast explosion into the UFC I feel like
31:32
it was like two or three fights before he fought for the title and then he won and everyone's like
31:37
how yeah he just has that wild style that he can't get past a lot of people
31:43
can't get past it and they end up getting hit and dropped trying to but uh
31:49
I think Kayla has that same unique ability where even though you can still
31:54
see a few holes in her game you can see all her strik isn't the best yet she's
32:00
getting better every time she gets out there like she landed some nasty kicks in this fight um I don't really feel
32:07
like I saw her kick before this fight and she was doing okay on her feet Landing a couple big shots so she ate
32:13
some but defensively she looked really good so I feel like that fear of getting
32:19
taken down by Kayla is going to really help her striking be even more aggressive the more she trains and the
32:26
more she knows how to wield it like wield that fear like use the faints and use the level changes and the pressuring
32:33
to really open up shots for her but when she gets to the ground she's such a monster and uh one thing um that people
32:41
probably don't realize about Catlin is that she's really hard to control I was talking to Mesa Tate about it and she
32:48
was just saying how catlyn is a big girl and she has that Judo awareness so the
32:54
fact that Kayla was still able to get her down and control her even though she wasn't able to submit her she was able
33:00
to control her which is something a lot of people weren't able to do on the ground against her so going on the
33:05
ground against someone like Juliana Pena for against someone like uh Raquel Pennington I really feel like she's
33:12
gonna be able to shine there MH I feel like with what Kayla lacks in the
33:20
Striking it's made up for with her Judo background she's competed at such a high level she's a two-time Olympic champion
33:26
you know and I think that just having that background it gives her a lot of of
33:32
freedom to to learn on the fly with her striking you know she has she has that
33:37
fail safe so even if she's you know losing the Striking she can always rely on the Judo she can always rely on that
33:44
strength and that Competitive Edge that she's had from competing for so long for sure she's an athlete um yeah it's going
33:52
to be fun to see what happens next for her but uh
33:58
what other the fights happened on the card that you want to discuss before we
34:05
preview next week well I think that we should bring up um the the weird ring oh
34:12
yeah that was happening with um the fight on the preliminary cards it was um
34:18
it was just a one fight right Alid and portieria mhm and I had
34:26
the hold on I had the or I had the ref I have his name where is it and he's um
34:34
he's a little bit newer to it's Dave sesad sistad sesad uh yes I believe
34:43
that's the name I have to and so we had four eye pokes one
34:48
nutshot yes and we had him separating the clinch Against the Cage in like
34:54
under 10 seconds yeah that crazy it it was the craziest thing and
35:01
it I'm glad that that was the last fight that he was going to call because he was
35:07
a little bit you know newer and they're you know letting him get his experience in but what he what he did to the to the
35:15
flow and to the energy of that fight was just it was brutal yeah so I looked him
35:20
up and he's actually called UFC fights before um he was uh
35:28
the one that stuck out to me was uh Miranda Maverick versus uh Priscilla
35:34
cotier and I was like oh God I hope I hope she didn't get the poker in the eye
35:39
in that one because that girl Miranda would have lost an eye like that girl is known for habitual eye poking but uh in
35:46
this fight she he was not on top of his game he acted like the eye Poes weren't
35:54
happening then thankfully Almeida was nice enough to punch the guy in the nuts right after
36:02
thank goodness so he would get a break but uh if he hadn't done that this I
36:07
this guy wouldn't have had a break at all in between eye pokes and then every time they started again IE poke I pokee
36:13
poke it was always on the clinch break like every time the clinch break happened there was an eye poke and it
36:18
was like how do you not see that or at least acknowledge that the fighter is in
36:24
pain and the other fighter isn't complaining because felt the wetness of
36:29
his eyeball on his finger so like give him a second like look look at the
36:34
replay give him a second and look at the replay it was it was just very frustrating and I and I really feel for
36:41
um portieria he he just he had a really rough go about it and I think that you
36:47
know it took him out the fight that's what I was just about to say like these kinds of things these events that happen
36:52
and then them not being called it's like mentally physically emotionally it just it can take you out of it and it did
36:59
this this ref you know potentially could have taken that
37:06
one away from him you know we don't know what would what it would have looked like otherwise but what I saw was him
37:14
not giving this Fighter the opportunity to do his best yeah he uh did not
37:21
protect the fighter in the way that a ref is supposed to in these fights like
37:26
the the only reason reason they're there in the cage is to make sure that fouls don't happen the the fight is
37:34
being fought in a fair way and if you get to the point where you can't defend
37:39
yourself the fight's over and he didn't protect him he didn't at all and then
37:44
when they would clinch up against the fence and he finally uh poor poor areia
37:51
finally got some control over the fight he'd break them immediately it's insane he didn't even give him a chance to
37:56
catch his breath he didn't even give him a chance to throw a knee like he if he was setting up a strike the guy would
38:03
break him before he get to do it and a lot of times when you clinch up and you're not trying to get a Tak down
38:09
you're waiting for that clinch break so you can throw a elbow throw a knee do
38:14
something when the person thinks you're disengaging he robbed them of those moments in the fight so I would I'm like
38:22
that guy sucks and the commentary was saying that uh Mike Bel
38:28
was on the sidelines just screaming bloody murder like he's getting poked in
38:33
the eye don't break it you know like he he was not approving and he's one of the
38:39
best reps out there so um yeah that guy really man I really feel bad for uh poor
38:47
poor raria uh I feel like he wasn't really given a chance even though the
38:52
fight might have gone the same way without the eye pokes like you don't know because every time he shot in on
39:01
Almeida he had to worry about him using his fingers to I poke his way out of
39:07
that takedown I poke his way out of that clinch break it was horrible but um why
39:13
do you think that happens I have a theory that um people who mainly Spar in
39:18
big gloves uh they don't get used to closing their fingers in those moments
39:24
or putting their fingers in the right places because in the glove your fingers are just kind of dangling around in
39:30
there so you never have to really worry about it I agree that that's what that is and sparring with big gloves you know
39:36
it's it's necessary to a certain point but you also have to be responsible with your weapons you know this is what we're
39:43
we're preach to behind the scenes right before we go out you know when we're in those fighter meetings um
39:51
and it's it's something that has to be trained in you if you're using big
39:56
gloves all the time you have to you have to train your fingers to close you have to train your your wrist to go up and
40:01
stuff like that and if you're in big gloves you're kind of immobilized in a way and you're not really seeing the the dangers of your tools yeah yeah I think
40:09
the the clinch break is usually when you see that happen when someone's head is pressed into you and you're trying to
40:14
get that head off of you and and like the the fingers just slip in there
40:21
because they're literally like funnels your cheekbones and your eye sockets are
40:26
like funnels to the eyeball so your fingers just slip in there even if you're not trying to trying to cheat and
40:33
that guy was just being so irresponsible with where his fingers are because yeah
40:39
one or two can happen but it was like four five or six one after the other and
40:44
you're seeing what's happening you're seeing what's doing a hard warning would have definitely made him care a bit
40:51
there was no warning whatsoever there was no like hey fingers up yeah hey fingers up there was nothing it was it
40:58
was wild to see a rough so not in control of that fight could you imagine
41:04
if he was doing the makv versus cop fight no those those those those kids
41:12
would have ran all over the place all they would have ran all over him his pants would have been down his pants
41:17
would have been down balls out complaining get him punched in the
41:24
face guy tell him to fight back even those balls are dragging on the canvas there's there's no way that I don't
41:30
think there's a way that I wouldn't have complained I wouldn't have said something I wouldn't have said something in the corner like hey just like
41:37
somebody well there was that one moment where he tried to take it into his own hands and he looks at his opponent and
41:43
he goes hey put your fingers away like he dropped his hands po areia did he
41:48
dropped his hands and said can you put your [ __ ] fingers away and the guy kind of stopped and was
41:56
like so at least there was a little communication there I honestly don't think he was trying to cheat but I also
42:03
don't think the consequences of him poking in the eye were enough for him to really do something about it when he's
42:09
winning the fight so that that was super frustrating to watch oh I don't know
42:15
what I would have done as a fighter as a cornerman like it it's just really hard to watch something like that
42:22
happen um but yeah what are you going to do
42:28
well uh let's just briefly like Zip over some because this was a good card uh I
42:33
was really stoked for Court McGee getting that sub of Tim Means um real
42:39
nice just like body lock take down to the back get on the rear naked bam done
42:44
I always feel bad for Tim for the you know when the old heads fight each other but you know it was it was a really good
42:51
win for court yeah no doubt yeah no doubt he's um and I mean I love his story as well
42:58
whenever they talk about his battle with addiction and you know how he's really transformed his life I love hearing
43:03
stories like that and I think that um you know the people that go through that they have that like just something extra
43:09
that extra kind of grit in them and I really root for them um I I of course
43:14
root for you know the the old dogs too I want to see everybody winning but um but
43:20
I thought what court mcky did was really impressive and he's um you know constantly evolving um the the Roman DED
43:29
and Kevin Holland fight was was a little weird I thought that I thought that uh
43:34
Roman I was kind of giving him an edge to that fight uh okay going into it and
43:41
I was impressed with with his game plan it just sucks to see a fight one like
43:46
that yeah you know it didn't really give Holland the the opportunity to execute his game plan and you know show out yeah
43:53
because like we've seen Holland in that position before where he's still kind of figuring out the fight figuring out how
44:00
he wants to approach it might give up a takedown or or or give up like a a
44:05
couple of exchanges on the feet but eventually he finds his way he finds the submission or finds The Knockout so it
44:12
was really frustrating or really really um you know broke my heart to see him
44:18
hurt his rib in that way and just try to fight through it but not get back in
44:24
there like it it it sucks and uh I like some people were criticizing the fact that he quit on the stool um I think the
44:32
only person I saw was Conor McGregor but stop it but it he deleted the Tweet
44:37
right after but in my eyes Kevin Holland he broke his rib about with about a
44:45
minute left in that round and he fought through it you know he tried that was
44:50
him trying to continue to fight on his broken rib he couldn't move for a second
44:56
and then he rolled over was yelling at the guy from M and like the whole time we're yelling bridge bridge do something
45:03
why are you doing that bridge he couldn't he couldn't Bridge imagine bridging with a broken rib no you can't
45:09
even sit up you can't breathe the first time hey you've broken your rib uh yeah
45:16
multiple times I'm sure yeah the first time that happened to me it wasn't broken it was like a bruised rib I I was
45:24
like oh I think I'll be okay to train the next day I tried to sit up out of my bed in the morning and I was
45:30
like no it doesn't work like that there's like an invisible hand just holding it down dud it is it's awful
45:38
it's the worst aw you literally have to roll like you have to roll like a like a kid rolling down a hill in the grass uh
45:46
to get out of bed when you have a broken rib like that and like he was holding his rib all night he wasn't trying to
45:52
get sympathy like the [ __ ] hurts it probably feels like it's going to pop out of his rib C out of his skin if he
45:58
doesn't hold it in your torso is is like the most movable part of your body mhm
46:04
you're you're it's constantly you know you're breathing you're rotating you're moving like anything anything will upset
46:14
that part of your body when you have an injury there yeah it's it's the worst so uh kudos to him for trying to fight
46:21
through it he really really tried to like amp himself up get the adrenaline
46:26
going back again to step back out there but I feel like it was the right call to make no and I mean credit to hers doog
46:32
for going to the the cornerman to ask them what they thought instead of Holland because he was going to put
46:38
himself back in danger no for sure you you never want to be put in that spot too when you're the fighter like yeah
46:44
you might want to have a little control over just be like like don't don't throw on the towel don't do this don't do that
46:50
let me go out on my shield but it's always nice when someone's willing to take that blow for you and just make the
46:57
decision that you don't want to make because we're never going to protect ourselves in the way our coaches are
47:03
going to um so yeah that that sucks poor rib
47:10
poor rib uh and one more um the Ryan span submission another kind of
47:17
Bittersweet one because oen St PR is always like held a a sweet place in my
47:23
heart he's just he's such a like a a gentle giant and such a nice guy and to
47:29
see him go out like that that that just kind of sucks but Ryan span he landed a
47:34
really nice uh I think it was a cross he landed like a nice onew down the pipe rocked him and then uh ens did the
47:42
takeown you know reaction like oh [ __ ] and it didn't work out for him he
47:48
was able to get that neck span was and hit the guillotine and I'm trying to
47:53
figure out if span can drop a tutorial on that because the super Mantine the super Mantine does he call it that
48:00
that's what they they coined it last night oh my God the super Mantine that doesn't even have a rink to it htine is
48:07
I like it I like seeing it the second time I said it it it felt a little bit better super Mantine sounds like a
48:14
Superman that's also a manate like a manate in a cape I'm getting a visual
48:20
right now the super manity I love it I'm here for it well that was hard too because they
48:26
were talking about um OSP being 41 it's the last fight on his contract he wants
48:32
of course to continue fighting and I mean I want to continue seeing him fight I think that there are some you know
48:39
technical things to be desired especially defensively with ois um I think he throughout his career has just
48:47
you know leaned back a lot when he's exiting that 10 he does he he leans back
48:52
and he he does man thing yeah he does and it's just something that really you know I think there's still time to train
48:58
it out of him or or at least have you know instead of going straight back cat an angle um I still really enjoy
49:06
watching him compete and you know I'm a fan of his so I I hope he gets back in there yeah same same uh we'll see where
49:12
he ends up next but uh span that was an awesome submission and I just want to
49:18
make a quick comment about the crazy Christian comment that I made last week because some people were butt hurt just
49:25
because they're crazy doesn't doesn't mean they're bad it's it's just a
49:31
term also just because I said those were crazy Christians doesn't mean I think
49:36
all Christians are crazy I mean people love interpreting things everyone has some weird book that
49:44
they believe in and pray to with all sorts of fun stories I pr mushrooms hey
49:51
there you go so
49:57
I've come to respect everyone's beliefs the same and uh yeah it is what it is
50:02
but span he channeled his crazy Christian is too he uh after his wi and
50:08
this is the first time I've ever heard anyone do this he goes Hallelujah
50:15
hello I was like oh is he gonna start speaking in tongues are we like at a Baptist church right now like let's go I
50:23
