Can you STOP hugging me?!

WEBVTT
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:06.320
Welcome back, dear listeners, to another episode of Peak Points.
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:08.880
Today is a UFC episode.
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.919
We have quite a bit to go over, honestly.
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:25.359
We have several UFC fights going back to UFC 330, and then a few upcoming fights that we want to have talking points on, as well as a little bit of drama.
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:27.920
You know we love that drama.
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:29.519
We love that tea.
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:48.240
Um and something that really interested me, you know, besides the drama in this card, UFC 330, was at the end, I think Islam ended up looking a little small for the weight class.
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:51.280
But uh I think he feels the same.
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.039
Uh more on that later.
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:54.000
Really?
00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:00.640
Uh we'll start off uh by talking about the early prelims and some of the ones that I saw.
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:16.640
Uh the my the mind-blowing one, which is the first one, was that Jeremiahs versus Make the Big Oral by and uh I know that he was like at least a thousand favorite or something like that, dude.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.840
Like Oral by what are you doing?
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.760
Uh what a big mistake.
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.280
He ran into a guillotine and ended up getting finished in the third round.
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.799
And uh I feel sorry for whoever lost their home betting on this guy.
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:33.840
Right.
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.359
Because I don't know what the hell happened there.
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:40.799
Cause I mean, even even in the middle of the fight, it was not looking like it was gonna end that way.
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:42.000
No, did not.
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.239
Um I had a little by up on that one.
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:52.719
He got a little uh loosey-goosey or just trying to chase a win, like a definitive win, takedown or knockout, or otherwise.
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:54.480
He just went caveman mode.
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:55.519
So they see.
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.040
Pretty much, yeah.
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:09.919
And and Neil Magney, always full of surprises, always the unk still got it, uh, versus uh Brahimaj.
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.039
And I had uh Ramiz Brahmaj on this one.
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:14.960
I was like, oh, this guy's gonna win for sure.
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.360
And uh Neil Magni gets it done via finish.
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.360
Uh in the second round, 320.
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.280
It's just uh he was uh he was getting bodied.
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:26.240
Let's face it, man.
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:34.560
Neil Magni was getting bodied until he was getting least up to uh, you know what, release my unk powers and he did it.
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:47.680
I mean, to be fair, the first round seemed to be a fair bit of him just not realizing the game plan of Brahma How do you say his last Brahmaj?
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:54.080
Uh but once he After round one a little bit of a reset.
00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.400
Oh yeah, he started making better adjustments and clearly turned it around.
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:06.560
That is a the clear sign of a veteran, obviously, and someone who's been around the block and has been down before.
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.280
Uh Rafael Tobias versus Fernando.
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.719
Fernando getting a finish on that one, a nasty finish.
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.280
Tobias looked like a body bag on that one.
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.400
And uh just just look at that, dude.
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.639
Back-to-back finishes in the early prelims.
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:21.840
Uh it's pretty exciting.
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:30.400
Uh Vicente Luque, who I had on this one versus Gore, and uh Gore lost some teeth, but he got the job done, man.
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:30.879
He did.
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.960
Uh I think he beat the brakes on Luque, and I think Luke did not look too great on this one.
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.120
And I don't know what's going on, man.
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.960
Uh I don't know what's going on there.
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.599
Uh Dante Johnson versus McConeko.
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.919
I really thought McConaco, this was your time, your time to shine.
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.599
Dante Johnson.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.919
It was his time to shine in Greenland.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.479
He shined in another way, another finish.
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.159
Round one this time.
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.199
Uh Dante Johnson gets it done.
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:00.800
Charles Johnson.
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:02.719
Uh Chapolin.
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:07.120
And uh, this is DC's fighter, uh, Eduardo Chapolin.
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.800
And Charles Johnson, unc still got it.
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.120
Submission via I I believe they call it the Scottish Twister.
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.319
Uh uh a submission move that is very rare.
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.480
This guy just caught a shiny Pokemon.
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:21.519
Pretty much, yeah.
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.839
Uh hit a very rare submission.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.720
Charles Johnson just never ceases to amaze me.
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:34.000
Like this guy either gets bodied or body bags someone who is very unexpected.
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.600
Uh, it was competitive until that point, that's for sure.
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.879
Uh good on Charles Johnson for uh for getting that one.
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:41.680
Certainly.
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:46.480
Uh Cheedy versus Alvarez, Cheedy with a unanimous decision win.
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.319
Edson Barbosa.
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:56.079
Uh I I I love those kicks, those body kicks, those leg kicks, those head kicks that Edson Barbosa always provided.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.160
And sadly, this will be the last time as he has retired.
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.000
Late his laid his gloves down against uh Esteban Rebovix.
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.839
Uh Rebaviks who finishes him uh in the second round.
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:13.199
Rebovix is a freaking dog, and I have yet to see a boring Rebaviks fight.
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:14.319
Always delivers.
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.720
Yeah, he's he's a much more exciting fighter than others.
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:25.600
Uh absolutely, and Ethan Barbosa, I think he deserved a little bit better farewell, but true.
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:35.360
You know, it is what it is, and uh he did decide to lay his gloves down, and ultimately at the end said nobody offer him a fight because he's still trying to get it, you know.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:42.959
It's just, you know, hopefully he he does decide to retire and relax a bit, rest on his laurels a little bit, so they say.
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:48.720
Performance of the night, Abdul Malik versus Dustin uh Stoltfuss.
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:56.720
And uh Abdul Malik gets bodied by a nasty submission, uh very impressive submission by Dustin.
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.199
It was that was uh that was an exciting fight.
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:03.199
I really enjoyed it.
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:04.959
Yes, I really enjoyed that one.
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.920
Uh I think it was a very exciting night all around.
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.560
Uh obviously from early prelims to the end.
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:11.199
Yeah.
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:24.720
And uh the excitement continues with the coming out of retirement, Jalen Turner uh versus Fernandez, and Jalen Turner getting a nice finish right at the beginning, like first round 39 seconds.
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.959
It sh it showed uh he had every right to come out of retirement for that.
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:34.480
Yes, and I remember vividly like thinking like why is this guy retiring?
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.600
He's way too young, he's had this losing skid.
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.920
I hope that's not what you know ultimately is the decision maker.
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:42.399
Right.
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:52.319
Uh however, we're not to know what was exactly in the mind of a fighter, and I'm glad that he decided to come back and still compete because he's still a dog, man.
00:06:52.639 --> 00:07:03.680
It could have been a retirement more in the sense of he needed to uh step back and reassess and rework and definitely seemed clearly worked out for him.
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:09.360
Definitely seemed that way.
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:14.959
Uh more like a mental health break, uh, which is I think ultimately what what it was, you know.
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:15.680
You know.
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.879
Uh so great on Jalen Turner coming back and getting a performance of the night, very impressive.
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.519
And uh McKenzie Dern versus Jillian Robertson.
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.519
And uh you know not quite as entertaining as I had hoped it would be.
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:38.560
Not quite, because it really felt like Mackenzie Dern was putting a a masterclass on Jillian Robertson, and Jillian really did not have any answers.
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:48.240
Um this fight in particular, besides Mackenzie Dern and her obviously championship glory and retaining that belt, showing why she's the champion.
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:56.879
Gillian Roberts Robertson's showing massive heart, massive grit, never gave up on herself, and I hope she never gives up going forward.
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.360
Certainly, yeah, she's a tremendous fighter.
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:19.439
Both of them are, which is kind of why I was a little disappointed in how the whole fight went down, because what little bit of I shouldn't say little bit, but the not tremendous amount of striking that did happen wasn't stellar.
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:26.000
Most of the grappling was more control time than true submission.
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:36.639
Which to be fair as good as Darren is, she couldn't give Roberts a or Robertson, sorry.
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.399
Robertson a chance.
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:47.840
She simply couldn't Rob uh Jillian is too good to take chances with, which is a tremendous mark of respect, you know.
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:54.080
But unfortunately it was not the exciting fight that many people were truly hoping for out of Dern.
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.440
Uh it definitely looked like a play it safe kind of thing.
00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.600
Yeah, and as champion, that's your right.
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:09.519
That's your right, and absolutely I also think that um this is one of the fights where Robertson did get under Dern's skin a little bit and said she's gonna take her down.
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:18.240
And I think Dern kind of wanted to prove a point that I'm gonna take you down and and control you on the ground, just how you said you were gonna do to me.
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:18.720
Right.
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.360
So that I I sincerely appreciate.
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:27.279
Besides that, it it's unfortunate that it's a little overshadowed.
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:42.720
You know, the run that uh Jillian Robertson was on was very, very promising, very impressive, breaking records as she was, and unfortunately is getting a little overshadowed by some drama that we'll talk about a little bit at the end of the show.
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:47.919
Uh closer to the end of the show about Jillian Robertson and her coach Dean Thomas.
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.240
Uh which I don't even want to give any real highlighting to because Absolutely, it's unfortunate.
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.360
I don't think Robertson deserves that.
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:58.480
She deserves it.
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.879
I mean, yes, it wasn't as glorious as she'd hoped, but even still.
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:06.240
Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.279
Uh I'll give the resolution at uh closer to the end of the show.
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.679
But the cliff notes are that uh Mr.
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:20.240
Dean Thomas, uh who's uh been uh been UFC commentator for a long time, do you know, to give his analysis on fights a lot of the time.
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.080
What little there is, but yeah.
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:37.600
And he actually ended up on live television right after that fight saying, uh I don't know if I'm paraphrasing or and I quote, is saying that this is as far as he thinks that she can go.
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:48.960
Uh that he is officially retiring on that night from cornering fighters, and he went on again, he said it again that this is as far as he believes Jillian Robertson can go.
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:57.759
At that moment, uh it was just harsh words for a harsh loss that uh added, I think, insult to injury.
00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:58.480
For sure.
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.679
Really, especially given the fact that he didn't even talk to her ahead of time.
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.720
No, and it's all all very shocking.
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:07.120
Uh more on that later.
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.679
Uh ultimately another championship fight at the very end.
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:20.720
Islam Makachev defending his welterweight title uh against Ian Machado Gary, who I really put as a dark horse in this division.
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:26.399
And uh I felt like it was pretty competitive for the most part.
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:33.360
Uh I really felt like Islam couldn't necessarily take him down as much as we're used to seeing him take people down.
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.440
Couldn't really control him as much.
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:42.480
Uh or Ian Gary just did a good job of defensive wrestling and defending the takedowns very well.
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:44.799
He did decent defending.
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:50.720
I think he could have focused more on some offensive.
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:51.919
Yes, absolutely.
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.919
He was very passive in that fight.
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.200
Yeah, I understand.
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.559
You cannot take Islam lightly.
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:13.120
And it's hard to put into words, but I think Ian was too respectful of the danger Islam presented.
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:13.840
Right.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.840
And I think he he could have afforded more danger.
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.120
And I know that he did start to pick it up a little bit towards the end.
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:34.720
Um it was Islam that really was initiating a lot of the good striking, specifically a moment where I remember he head-kicked Ian Machado Gary and dropped him.
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:36.960
Uh very impressive kick.
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:42.960
Uh, one that he I remember used to knock out uh Volkanovsky.
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:44.960
Come from a Lando Nanda.
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:59.039
Uh unfortunately he didn't finish, but he definitely showed why he's the champion, even though at the end of the fight, he was wearing a lot more of the damage on his face.
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:00.080
He was.
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:00.960
Hmm.
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:08.639
I myself felt that specifically versus Ian Machado Gary, that he looked very small.
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.960
And um To be fair, he's one of the taller in the division.
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:25.120
Yes, to be fair, uh, but just how he really couldn't manhandle Machado Gary that well, uh, which like I said, much of the you know, probably the training that Gary did himself.
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:36.000
Uh a lot of my I myself, you and a lot of other people have said that uh the defense was great, however the offense was uh much too little.
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.840
And um you mentioned respect.
00:13:40.960 --> 00:14:14.159
One thing that I'm hearing a lot was that he showed him a lot, a little bit too much respect with all the hugs and the pats in the back of the head and the pat on the shoulder and the uh high fives and the good jobs and the it was just a little bit, I think, too much, especially a little bit too much for Dana White, who went on to comment afterwards and said, like, yeah, man, this is the biggest stage of your life, this is the biggest moment of your life, and this is the only time you're possibly gonna get a chance at the belt.
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.720
I don't know if he was throwing the shade on those words.
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:20.399
You're supposed to go out there and kill this guy.
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:31.279
Uh, and also noting that a little bit of aggression was missing ultimately from Ian Gary, and that too much respect was shown on his end.
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:37.360
Uh Islam gets the job done defending his Walterweight title again.
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.120
So I guess let's see.
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:42.000
I guess defending it for the first time, you know.
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:43.039
Yeah, this title.
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:47.279
This title, so it's like uh very interesting.
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:51.600
I know that he said himself afterward that he wants to focus on getting bigger.
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:56.720
Uh for the next fight, he wants to get larger because he felt a little small himself.
00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:58.720
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:05.120
He needs to go through that heightening surgery, you know, where they break your legs eighteen hundred times.
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:05.600
Sure.
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:06.879
Just keep separating them.
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.200
That way he'll have the the same height.
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:12.799
Uh I think he just needs some more uh to eat some more horse meat.
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.279
I mean it hasn't worked yet, so maybe not.
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:21.679
Maybe he needs to switch over to cow.
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.159
Yes, he's gonna have to switch over to cow.
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.960
And so ultimately a great card, UFC 330.
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:39.440
I I feel like it it it didn't disappoint, and in fact, I feel like it kind of showed that uh it was an amazing card, regardless of what a lot of people were saying.
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.759
And uh now a lot of people are saying that that was a great card.
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:48.080
So sometimes it takes more than just thought, right?
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.679
Yeah.
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.279
And then after that, a fight night, Hernandez vs.
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.720
Rodriguez.
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:59.919
Uh one that I knew was gonna be a dog fight, but not quite the war that it was.
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:04.000
Sorry, I had a tickle.
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.919
Who are we talking about?
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:11.759
Sorry, not not quite the war it was.
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:13.360
Which one was it?
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:14.879
Um I finished it.
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:15.759
I finished my thought.
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.480
It was it was Anthony Hernandez versus Gregory Rodriguez.
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.600
So I'll finish my sentence.
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:28.559
And we'll go ahead and start that card off with the prelims.
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:30.799
Some of the ones that stood out to me.
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:35.600
Uh was that Crispadia versus uh Hakbarasat?
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:40.799
Hakbarast, right?
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:42.480
I think so, yeah.
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:44.559
Was that Crispadilla vs.
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.279
Nasrat?
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:53.200
And I really had Crispadia on this one, but uh he did a very slow start to this one.
00:16:53.919 --> 00:17:00.399
Ultimately I felt like it was very competitive, and I really felt like Nasrrot had a chance to show out on this guy.
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:09.200
Now, I'm a little surprised you're just skipping straight over that round one KO by Wes.
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.119
Do you want to go back?
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.240
We'll just restart then.
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.880
No, no, we can get we can play around with this.
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.319
Do you just not like the long hair or what's up?
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.720
The long hair are you talking about the Wes Shelter versus Jackson McVeigh.
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:30.000
Uh well there is a Chanel Dyer versus Reed, so I guess I'm gonna be.
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.359
I guess we'll just talk about the whole prelims.
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:11.440
And then I coughed right after and was like excuses, excuses.
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:19.440
Ready?
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:20.319
Mm-hmm.
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:22.799
And I'll start off with the prelims.
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.000
No, he's not on this card.
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:27.599
Sorry, I had to fuck with you.
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.559
He is in the next couple cards, though, I will say.
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.920
Uh Chanel Dyer versus Elise Reed.
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.759
Uh Chanel Dyer getting that uh KO finish on her.
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:40.960
Um not the most exciting fight, but uh pretty good.
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.200
But the finish was great.
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:47.519
Uh after that, uh Wes Schultz versus Jackson McVay.
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.319
McVeigh, uh Jesus versus Jesus.
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:50.640
Yeah.
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:59.039
Um it was a Yeezus off uh Jackson McVeigh getting a nasty finish on Wes Schultz.
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:05.200
Indeed, that was it was uh a nice start to the card.
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:06.799
Two KOs in a row.
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.880
Absolutely, and uh it was even funnier when he brought him back to life.
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:16.640
And then Gage Young and then Wes walked on water.
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:17.519
Yeah, walked on water.
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:18.480
He's also Jesus.
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.720
He threw water on the floor and he just walked on it.
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:33.599
Uh Gage Young versus Stan uh Dorsum Dorsanaville, and uh Stan ultimately gets a good decision when I don't really know how I feel about that decision.
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:40.480
Um I was leaning a little bit more towards Gage Young on that one, but uh this guy making his debut gets it done.
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:48.640
Yeah, I mean, even if you're looking at total strikes and all that, it it really looks like it should have gone to Gage.
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:54.079
Yes, I kind of felt that way, but I mean it's whatever the judges feel like, I guess.
00:19:54.400 --> 00:20:07.119
Another finish in the prelims of Marcio Barbosa versus Ryan Coos and Barbosa getting a round one finish, and uh mind you, he was minus 900.
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:07.519
Yes.
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.599
So a lot of people felt that he was gonna body him.
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.599
Uh Crispodilla uh versus Nasrat.
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:18.960
Uh I had Crispadia on this one.
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:23.200
Uh I wasn't expecting the finish at the bell.
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:28.960
But uh Crispodilla started very, very slow this time around on his fight.
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.640
Um I don't know what the game plan really was.
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:36.160
But ultimately he kept it very competitive.
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:51.759
Uh Nasra kept it very competitive with him, and ultimately getting uh rocked and getting finished, choked, you know, it looked like he was out after the bell, but nonetheless, he was out.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.319
Right.
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.680
So uh getting a very strange finish on that one.
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.720
Crispadilla, uh good win for him.
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.599
And then for that next fight, I'm not even gonna try to pronounce that last name.
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.000
I'm just gonna say Kennedy versus Gazeev.
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:21.519
But Gazeev, he Good call.
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:24.799
He uh he really did it that game or that fight.
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:25.759
You know what?
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:31.200
Uh I will give it to Gazeev for striking someone with their hands down.
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:40.720
And the problem was that, you know, obviously we're not super technical guys.
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:54.640
We're not we're not we're not, you know, the most trained guys, but I know you shouldn't have your hands down in the heavyweight division, especially when you're not moving and you're not taking your head off the center line.
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:59.680
Ultimately got clipped, and then he got clipped in the chin, and Gazeev absolutely.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.440
Send him to the shadow realm.
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:07.279
It kind of seemed like Kennedy thought he had some sort of voodoo on him or whatever.
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:12.720
Some sort of hoodoo, anyway, that was gonna like protect him from getting knocked out.
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:15.519
People are saying he's completely unworried about it.
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:23.440
Yes, and also people are saying like that was you know, his game plan was to keep the hands low and use a speed advantage on Gozeev.
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:25.599
Obviously, we didn't see that.
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:27.279
Uh was the speed.
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:33.200
People were mad at him, but at the ultimately I kind of feel like his team i is a little bit to blame too.
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:38.000
Like, like, dude, we gotta work on our on our defense, keeping our gloves up.
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:44.559
Um because at the end of the day, this is the heavyweight division where one punch uh usually determines it.
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.559
And one punch did because dude, that was a nasty knockout.
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:50.880
This dude got he flew for like a minute.
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:56.640
He like And and I've and I've gotta point out the significant strikes in this fight.
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.000
It was a minute and twenty long.
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.359
And five total strikes.
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.319
And there was a knockout.
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.880
Yes, uh Shamil Gazeev gets it done.
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:15.599
Um good on Gazeev, man.
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.240
I'm I'm I'm very happy for him for this win.
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.039
Uh another knockout.
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:34.799
Uh in the prelims, Jamal Amherst versus uh Larry Ann Douglas, and I had Douglas on this one uh mainly because of the impressive uh performance he did in the contender series, the knockout beforehand.
00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:37.759
And uh this was supposed to be his moment, right?
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:47.039
Ultimately, he ends up getting finished pretty freaking nasty on this one, and I don't know what's gonna happen now for him, but hopefully.
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.720
I hope he recovers and is able to show us what he really has.
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:58.000
Anthony Went to start off the main card versus Terrence Chapman.
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:05.119
Uh Anthony Witt is a former football star from former NFL star making his debut in the UFC.
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:15.839
Uh obviously a lot of people thought he was gonna win with a minus eleven hundred but everybody thought it was gonna be my knockout, and he gets it done by submission.
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.440
But it wasn't that great.
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:25.440
No, it wasn't fantastic, especially given the condition of his opponent.
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:34.880
The physical condition, I mean, or conditioning, but even still, I'm not gonna knock a win off his column.
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:36.000
Like he he earned it.
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:36.720
He earned it.
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.359
Uh Anthony Wint goes on from the NFL to the UFC.
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:42.400
Impressive.
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:47.440
Uh trying to follow in the footsteps of our our WWE friend, huh?
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:47.759
Probably.
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:48.079
Yeah.
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:49.839
Uh Carly Judice.
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.640
I had Carly Judice winning this one, and she won it emphatically.
00:24:55.200 --> 00:25:04.079
This one was surprising because at the start I was like, ugh, this is gonna just be another snooze fest.
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:07.839
Didn't take long to change to prove me wrong, though, that's for sure.
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:21.599
Yes, um Carly Judice just uh amazing performances so far in the UFC, and I'm excited that she gets another win in this column, and um hopefully in that flightweight division she's stirring up some some more names for sure.
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:28.240
But uh in similar vein to the earlier stats that I brought up.
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:33.920
An interesting stat for this is it was only 19 seconds longer.
00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:39.039
But they threw 16 and 10 significant strikes.
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:40.319
Ah yes.
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:43.279
So a little more active.
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:44.319
A little bit.
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.640
Flyweight, heavyweight, what's the difference?
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:59.680
And a performance of the night goes to Cardi Jadis, and another performance of the night in the fight afterward, Markel Madero versus Mason Jones.
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:02.480
And they earned that.
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.279
Wow.
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:05.519
That was a fantastic fight.
00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:06.319
Absolutely.
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:12.160
Credit to both these gentlemen, neither one uh giving an inch, I would say.
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.839
And Mason Jones is an absolute freaking dog.
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:20.799
I remember watching this fight specifically and thinking, like, how is this guy still alive after those?
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:21.440
Yeah.
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:32.240
And ultimately the elbows that Medeiros introduced were a major adjustment that I saw in the second round because in the first round he wasn't really throwing them.
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:32.559
Right.
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:35.839
And it was just a really back and forth, back and forth.
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.640
I'ma eat on the chin, you're gonna eat on the chin.
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:45.200
Uh, and I'll I really feel like Mason Jones was thinking, like, I could obviously chin these more than he can.
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.119
Yeah, he he started relying on that a little too much.
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:56.799
Ultimately, a nasty knockout by Madero's uh finishing him on his feet.
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.359
Mason Jones, a freaking dog, man.
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:00.559
A freaking dog.
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.400
Lays down to no man, even when he's dead.
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:08.640
Uh a light heavyweight bout.
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:14.160
Reneer de Ritter uh showing his light heavyweight.
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:15.680
He's like, you know what?
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:24.559
I was killing myself to wake 185, so let's see how it goes at 205 against Roman Delize, who I really thought was gonna give him a hard time.
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:26.400
I expected more out of him for sure.
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:27.599
I expected way more out of his head.
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:30.319
I also have to just throw this out there.
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:35.119
Is it just me or does RDR look rather odd with that haircut?
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.680
It didn't it didn't feel like RDR with that haircut to me.
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:42.960
Um I think he's pretty odd.
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:45.680
It felt like he's trying to Okay, that's weird.
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.799
It felt like he was trying to rebrand himself or something.
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:52.400
Anyway.
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:55.359
Uh amazing finish by DeRitter.
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:03.839
Uh finishing Roman Delize, who I really felt like, damn, it's gonna come down to who has the advantage on the ground and on the feet.
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:11.920
Uh and I'm like, oh, Delizy has, you know, a good chance, but Rainier De Ritter proving that this guy he still got it.
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:17.680
And maybe it was the weight cut that was really killing him.
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:19.920
But I don't think it was just the weight cut.
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:22.799
Dude, he he did like what four fights in a year?
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.480
Yeah, well, that many weight cuts adds up to that's crazy.
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:28.880
Yeah, that many weight cuts.
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:38.880
Um, very impressive, look good in the light heavyweight division, and that light heavyweight division continues to stack people that are freaking amazing.
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:41.119
It's it's a stacked division, you know.
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:44.160
Man, who the hell has a chance in this division?
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:53.119
And honestly, despite how stacked they are, they're all lucky that a certain someone decided to go up to heavyweight instead of staying around.
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:54.480
Chemo.
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:03.119
And uh afterward, a heavyweight bout that I really thought was gonna be lame, but it wasn't, was uh Sergey Spivak vs.
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:04.400
Vitor Petrino.
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:06.480
A rather competitive fight.
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:08.799
Uh I I like Spibuck.
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:13.519
Spibach has been a uh namestay of that heavyweight division.
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:19.680
If you want to get past him, uh if you do end up getting past him, then usually you're if you're facing the top five.
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:29.359
So Vitor Petrino, who was a light heavyweight at one point, continues to stack it up at heavyweight.
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:30.960
He looked good.
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:32.640
Yeah, I think he found his division.
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:38.559
I mean a hundred and twenty-six strikes versus thirty-three.
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:41.039
I'd say he was looking pretty good.
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:42.480
Looking pretty good.
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:45.759
Light on his feet, you know, even looked at heavyweight.
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:49.920
Uh so it was a pretty impressive fight nonetheless.
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.680
Uh Sergey Spivak never gave up on himself and never gave up on the fight.
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:58.079
However, ultimately he beats uprino with the unanimous decision.
00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:01.680
And then we move on to the last fight of the night.
00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:03.599
A freaking war.
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:12.000
Anthony Hernandez, uh Anthony Fluffy Hernandez versus Gregory Robocop Rodriguez.
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:17.279
And I I had Anthony Hernandez on this one.
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:31.519
I really thought that he was his uh like consistent takedown attempts, his consistent wrestling, his consistent pressure of his opponents.
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:33.519
And he did that.
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:45.759
However, uh Robocomp found a way and ultimately chopped at the legs of Fluffy, and uh who knows how bad those legs were, man.
00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:54.880
See now that's that's something about this fight that I don't really person in personally I don't think it deserved fight of the night.
00:30:55.359 --> 00:31:01.680
But uh That was a really odd decision by Rodriguez.
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:05.680
He had Hernandez on the ropes.
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:16.720
Like he he could have chased him down, he could have kicked him a couple more times and the fight would have been ended by round three at the latest.
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:19.519
But for some reason he just kept pulling back.
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.240
It was like he had something to prove or something.
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:41.599
And in the after fight talks, it sounded like that is exactly what happened because people were talking about how in interviews Rodriguez was saying that he he does have five round power and he he can hang with uh Hernandez in that sort of situation effectively.
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:44.240
I I don't think that's what he showed.
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:50.240
I think in the third round he started to gas out from the pressure of Fluffy.
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:52.000
Hernandez was literally falling down.
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:53.680
He was falling over, it was crazy.
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.720
And and Rodriguez couldn't kick him one more time in the calf.
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:04.400
And also I really feel feel like Gregory Rodriguez did not really have ultimately that gas tank.
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:14.079
And this was his first five-round fight, whereas Fluffy Hernandez is known for gas tank, is known for having done that five-round fight before.
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:19.119
But my complaint is that Rodriguez did not like actively try to finish him.
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:19.839
Could be.
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:53.519
That bum leg that he had that he ultimately couldn't even put much weight on.
00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:58.240
And he still ended up finishing that fight, which was a warm.
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:04.799
In no way am I deriding his his heart and the showing he put on.
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:10.240
I'm just saying, as far as Hernandez goes, that seemed like a really ridiculous choice.
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:20.000
It seemed like he was trying d I well, I'm not really sure exactly what he was trying to do, but it basically prolonged the fight for whatever reason.
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.680
It he he could have finished it way sooner.
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:25.519
Very possible.
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:29.839
Very possible.
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:43.440
Uh um one thing that I sincerely noted was how at the Sacramento Stadium Golden One Center, how chance of Fluffy shook the buildings.
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:48.160
You know, shook the building, how the Fluffy, Fluffy.
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:50.400
The crowd was definitely in Fluffy's car.
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:54.480
So they were like another person in the cage.
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:56.480
Uh very impressive.
00:33:56.640 --> 00:34:02.400
I I I really appreciated how much they they how much love Anthony Hernandez got ultimately.
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:07.440
Uh never gave up, and let's see if he does do a major adjustment.
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:15.199
Uh Gregory Rodriguez pulling out the unanimous decision and calling out Dricas Duplice, which I think is a very great call out.
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:16.960
I think that's a good one.
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:18.559
Uh I'd want to see that.
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:25.039
I I I don't know if I'd want to see that entirely, but I think that that does make an interesting fight.
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:31.920
I I must not have been paying attention because I did not hear that at the time.
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:34.159
That that comes as a bit of a shock to me right now.
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:35.119
Good call-out.
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:35.760
Mm-hmm.
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:38.079
Rodriguez called DDP up.
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:38.639
Yep.
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:40.800
He's gonna get folded like a lawn chair.
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:41.760
It's possible.
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:43.760
He's gonna get folded like a lawn chair.
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:44.880
Very possible.
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:48.079
Uh Drick is also has a pretty good gas tank too, so.
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:53.039
And he's nowhere near as tender to the legs.
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:55.679
Tender.
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:57.760
Um that is kind of funny.
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:04.639
Uh one thing to note before we move on, Anthony Hernandez releasing a statement afterward.
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:16.159
Um I know that Gregory Rodriguez is showing nothing but respect for Anthony Hernandez, but Anthony Hernandez releasing a statement afterwards calling Gregor Rodriguez a cheater.
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:17.119
What?
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:26.880
And saying that Gregory Rodriguez several times reached into his gloves and held them inside the gloves.
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:36.880
I did see that once, maybe twice, I did see that, and I did see a warning by Herb Dean to Gregor Rodriguez, hands out of the gloves.
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:39.760
Yeah, whether I think of it, I think I did hear that.
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:43.039
Whether that continued, I'm not entirely sure.
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.199
I have to go back and rewatch the fight.
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:52.559
But um very unfortunate that uh Anthony Hernandez thinks that that wasn't a legitimate loss.
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:55.119
Um and it's just I don't know.
00:35:55.360 --> 00:36:00.480
I don't know what's going on, but seems like everybody's hating on Herb Dean these days.
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:07.599
I mean he keeps having weird issues in his fights, so.
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:10.400
I don't know.
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:11.599
I don't know.
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:14.480
Uh very interesting nonetheless.
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:18.960
And then we'll talk about the fight that just passed.
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:20.639
I woke up at 4 a.m.
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:22.159
to watch this thing.
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.599
Normagamed off versus Song Yadong.
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:29.039
Some really great fights on this card.
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:29.920
Wow.
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:34.239
Uh for some reason I feel like China cards that they haven't disappointed.
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:39.440
I've watched pretty much every single one, and I haven't I haven't been disappointed at all.
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:44.719
Like at least a couple fights in those cards have been like shocking to say the least.
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:50.800
And we'll start off that card uh with the prelims, uh Ding Meng.
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:58.400
I really felt like Ding won this one versus uh Cam Nelson making his debut.
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:00.320
Um you thought so, huh?
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:02.239
I felt like Ding won this one, yeah.
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:04.320
Uh at least with the striking is the flight.
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:08.800
Yeah, as far as striking, he certainly outstruck Nelson.
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:09.599
Right.
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:13.199
And it just seemed like uh But the takedowns I think is what carried it.
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:14.880
Attributed to that, yeah.
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:17.039
I mean four versus zero.
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:19.039
It it adds up.
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:23.039
Especially in the amount of time that Nelson kept him down.
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:24.000
That is true.
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:25.679
Yep, that is a fact.
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:34.400
Um nonetheless, Cam Nelson getting the unanimous decision, and then afterward, that women's straw wave that shocked everyone, right?
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:35.599
To start the prelims, right?
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:39.440
Blastery, man, she put the hammer down.
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:40.880
What a kick.
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:53.119
Uh the kick was impressive in of itself, but the setup making her think that she's gonna hit a hook on her, she puts her head out, yeah, leans.
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:54.559
That was a great fake out.
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:55.280
Oh my god.
00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:58.480
Perfectly executed follow-through on the with on that fake out.
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:03.679
Head kick, right to the chin, cannot get more beautiful, uh, cannot get more impressive.
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:07.119
Dropped right then and there.
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:08.880
It was a walk-off KO.
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:11.599
It was it was honestly textbook.
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:16.159
Yes, uh Pilastri with a very impressive knockout.
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:20.800
Um Great Fight IQ, definitely a great fight IQ, uh Jing Nang.
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:25.440
I uh I have yet to see a Jing Nang, a boring Jing Nang fight.
00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:31.199
But um obviously And it wasn't fun, it wasn't boring boring just in the wrong way this time for her.
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:36.320
Um Hector Santiago with a nasty knockout on Lawrence Liu.
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:37.519
Oh man.
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:39.280
That was a really good fight.
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:42.400
At no point did I feel like they were phoning it in.
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:55.360
I I felt I mean Santiago definitely seemed to be a little more dominant throughout the entire fight, but at no point did I think Lawrence was gonna lose for sure.
00:38:55.519 --> 00:39:00.000
I I thought maybe he was gonna I don't know, put it in gear.
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:03.519
It seemed like he was assessing Santiago as he went.
00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:03.840
Right.
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.840
And like he was it seemed like he was really starting to dial it in.
00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:12.480
But he just didn't dial it in fast enough, I guess.
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:17.679
And uh Hector Santiago getting a nasty finish on that one.
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:24.159
Uh one who they really thought Lawrence was the favorite on that one, so the uh extra impressive.
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:27.039
Uh Zhao Long versus Nuzzi.
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:28.880
Another finish.
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:29.679
Look at that.
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:32.159
And this one was another nasty knockout, dude.
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:33.280
It was like, damn.
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:36.400
Nuzi looked very impressive in this one.
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:41.679
Uh Francesco Nuzi, so Yeah, three knockouts in a row was pretty much pretty good.
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:45.840
Uh and this fight was actually not bad either.
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:50.079
Uh featherweight bout between Jack Jenkins and Shawn Woodson.
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:54.079
Sean Woodson obviously the tallest featherweight in the division.
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:55.679
Uh freakishly tall.
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:56.960
Freakishly tall.
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:00.000
Use that to get himself a split decision.
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:12.800
I don't know if you noticed this or not, but during the I don't know what it's called, but when they put their pictures up as part of the tail for the tape or tail of the tape.
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:19.760
For some reason John or Sean Woodson's photo was uh on there twice.
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:26.320
And the background photo was like up by an inch.
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:35.199
And so it definitely made him look taller, but also made him look really freakish because you saw two sets of ears and double forehead.
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:36.000
Wow.
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:39.280
It was it was something that really stood out to me.
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:47.920
I was like, they're talking about their height, and then they seemed like they uh double transposed the image just to try and make him look taller or something.
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:51.039
So they need to step it up in their production, is what you're saying.
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:52.079
Very much so.
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.159
That was that was a major slip-up.
00:40:54.639 --> 00:41:01.920
Um impressive performance by Sean Woodson earning a split decision, and I do think that was a split decision.
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:05.519
Yeah, I mean it genuinely could have gone either way.
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:12.639
I'm not upset that it went to Woodson, but I think it equally could have gone to Jenkins.
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:14.320
Exactly.
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:17.280
Uh the fight, uh the finish don't end that night.
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:30.800
The finishes do not end because Ray Ceruya versus Kevin Borjas, and I was going for Ceruya, showed massive tenacity on the takedowns on ultimately finishing Kevin Borjas.
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:39.119
And uh Borjas only needed to survive a couple, like, I don't know, 40 more minutes, uh 40 more seconds, so it's just come on, dude.
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:40.400
Couldn't get it done.
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:42.800
Ray Saruya, great finish.
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:49.119
Uh Bot Bayar versus Andre Lima, and Andre Lima with another nasty finish submission.
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:50.400
Yep.
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:52.480
And guess what?
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:56.800
Going into the main card, the finishes still continue.
00:41:57.199 --> 00:41:59.360
Hassan versus Rojas.
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:04.639
And uh Hassan gets a finish on Rojas, a knockout.
00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:27.519
Puts a body bag on Rosan uh Rojas, who um you know I really thought that was um a good representation for Hassan to represent Indonesia, and uh they really need that representation in the uh never mind.
00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:41.440
Move on to the fight of the night by Lu uh C or is it Che?
00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:43.599
Uh yeah Che.
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:44.320
It was Che.
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:48.239
Luce By Lu Che, uh Levi Rodriguez Jr.
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:52.960
Uh Luce ultimately gets a nasty knockout, dude.
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:56.880
Um I feel bad for Levi Rodriguez Jr.
00:42:57.199 --> 00:42:59.119
Uh hopefully he's okay.
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:09.199
It was it was interesting because Luce seemed to be in large part commanding the ring.
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:17.519
But Rodriguez looked like he was really in it, and I I genuinely was expecting a little more from him.
00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:22.000
But ultimately Luce, he man.
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:25.360
Looks like he hits like a freight train.
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:27.599
It is kind of scary, yes.
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:33.199
Uh flyweight bout afterward, Alex Perez versus Sumadadreweights in Gina.
00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:36.960
Yes, a lot of flightweights, and Alex Perez lost this one.
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:38.880
I was pretty surprised.
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:42.239
Uh versus Sumodadre, who got that unanimous decision.
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:52.159
I'll I mean surprised, sure, but ultimately I I I felt uh Sumadadre did I say that right?
00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:55.760
Yeah, ultimately I I do believe he deserved it.
00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:59.679
Yeah, I don't think it I don't think it was a robbery of Perez.
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:01.119
Oh, I don't think so either.
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:04.480
Um, I just expected more of Alex Perez.
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:12.400
Um yeah, it's just unfortunate for Perez, but uh great win by Sumodadre.
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:14.239
Kayasakura.
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:19.760
Uh now he's got a little something going on in the UFC with some wins.
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:24.719
Uh a nasty finish of um uh Audrey Kelling.
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:26.239
Uh so very impressive.
00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:27.119
Very impressive.
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:31.440
That was a really impressive um knockout.
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:42.800
And the knockouts continue on this card with Jan Shanon getting finished on this one versus Denise Gomez.
00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:46.719
Man, did I think that Jan Shonan was gonna win this one.
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:53.840
That combo as she was falling down too was just phenomenal.
00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:54.960
Nasty.
00:44:55.199 --> 00:44:59.760
I mean it was it just showcased how fast Denise is.
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.840
Oh, Denise with the killer hands.
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:02.719
So fast.
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:04.239
And it hits hard.
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:09.440
I had to show the I had to show the last like ten seconds of the fight to a co-worker.
00:45:09.679 --> 00:45:12.559
It was it was just really impressive.
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:13.840
Yeah, very impressive.
00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:24.800
A lot of a lot of fighters, you know, they hit that first that first punch that knocks their opponent down, and they miss their follow-up shot or whatnot.
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:25.679
Not Denise.
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:26.719
No, not Denise.
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:28.880
Uh that impressed me.
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:35.119
The fact that she's facing former uh belt contender Yan Shoonan at number fourteen.
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:36.719
Uh so it's a big jump.
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:38.239
14 to number four.
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:38.800
Yeah.
00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:47.199
Um all around, everything was impressive to me, and uh ultimately receiving that uh KO finish on that one.
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:49.519
And we continue.
00:45:49.840 --> 00:46:01.039
Speaking of impressive impressive Naka Performance of the night, Songya Dong uh versus Umar Numar Gamedov.
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:08.719
Uh yes, that last name ends up getting finished in front of his brother.
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:10.559
Whoa!
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:12.159
He sure did.
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:18.000
Songya Dong looks so good in the ring.
00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:19.280
Look too good.
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:24.639
You can tell he's he's constantly thinking, but also just having fun.
00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:39.760
I mean, it's not like in a completely jovial way, but like he's truly enjoying himself and enjoying the challenge, and he's not all caught up in trying to remember uh whatever move he's supposed to do next.
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:44.239
It's it's really a game for him, it seems like.
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:46.639
Absolutely.
00:46:47.519 --> 00:47:03.119
And at the end, um a very powerful sight to see Umar, you know, very his first knockout loss ever, only his second loss in uh as a professional athlete ever.
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:12.400
Uh who if you it's even more impressive when you think about the person he his first loss was to the machine, Barab Divadas really.
00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:17.119
Yeah, extra impressive, uh extra stamp on it.
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:27.360
Uh Uzman, Namargamedov, his brother, with a generational meme that he created, uh, with his face like oh I haven't seen it.
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:41.760
Very unfortunate, and um I know that there is a little bit of drama with what he did, which was jumping over the fans to basically be the first one to check on his brother, which was crazy, bro.
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:53.280
Uh there's uh uh very powerful video of him yelling saying no and then uh jumping over like so fast, which is impressive too.
00:47:53.760 --> 00:48:00.159
So fast that even the great Kabib was like trying to grab him and couldn't.
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:02.639
Jumps over the fence.
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:16.239
And basically there's a moment where they awkwardly meet where I don't think Song Yidong did this on purpose, but he's no, he was just running around like his adrenaline because I just knocked out this contender.
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:17.440
Yeah.
00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:21.599
Who's nobody's been able to finish ever.
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:34.000
They end up meeting awkwardly, and it looks like Uzman Magamanov is gonna go for a back elbow of some sort, and he stops himself.
00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:35.840
I do not think this is on purpose.
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:37.519
I think that was just reaction again.
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:39.119
Reactionary tackled.
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:51.840
Uh uh some people are I think are really making this a big deal, calling for Usman to be fined and this and that, you know, uh, because Usman, it looks like he just got signed to the UFC.
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:53.360
He's a PFL champion.
00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:53.920
Oh, okay.
00:48:54.159 --> 00:49:01.039
Um, nothing's been confirmed yet, but obviously if he's in the UFC cornering, maybe he's probably there.
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:01.760
I don't know.
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:03.679
Um, I won't speculate on that.
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:08.239
Checking on his brother being the first one, like almost as fast as the ref did.
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:10.239
Holy cannoli.
00:49:11.519 --> 00:49:22.159
Um you know it it it's it's unfortunate for Umar, it's unfortunate for the new Margamedov camp.
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:26.880
Um, you know, they obviously take pride in their record.
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:30.639
They take pride in being the best in the world.
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:42.159
To lose like this um in this stage is very crazy, especially how unexpected it was, right?
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:42.719
Right.
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:46.719
Umar being a minus 600 favorite.
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:48.559
I'm sure they're shocked as well.
00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:48.960
Right?
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:50.559
Yeah, myself included.
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:53.679
Not the biggest upset, but still a sizable one.
00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:59.199
On the other side of the coin to be Songgy Dong fighting in your home country.
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:06.079
And to have such a spectacular What a finish against this guy with the legendary last name.
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:07.679
Honestly.
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:16.079
Given his performance, I'm I'm kind of excited to see him progress in the no, not kind of.
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:22.000
I'm I'm definitely looking forward to his progression in the division.
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:34.800
And it it just it it adds a level of heartbreak and a level of hope, you know, that is I don't think it's seen in any other sport, frankly.
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:42.159
Not to mention, um, how you mentioned the Bantamweight division and what's gonna happen forward.
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:46.239
I think a couple steps are gonna happen to move forward.
00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:52.719
I believe there is the Marab versus Peter Yan trilogy is gonna happen.
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:53.760
I I do think so.
00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:54.719
Likely.
00:50:54.880 --> 00:50:58.079
I I feel like that's like 80%, right?
00:50:58.960 --> 00:50:59.840
Yeah, kinda.
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:04.320
So what's to happen on either scenario of that coin?
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:06.320
Let's let's take a look at that real quick.
00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:13.280
If Marab wins his bell back, who is really next in line?
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:23.039
I think they're definitely not gonna give it to Sean O'Malley because Sean O'Malley has already lost twice to Marab in championship.
00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:25.840
Nobody wants to see a trilogy where it's a losing trilogy.
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:26.559
Yeah.
00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:30.639
Um I think Songgy Dong has a chance to fight for that.
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:41.440
I think if Peter Yan wins, um I think they're gonna run him versus O'Malley back because of how controversial the decision.
00:51:41.599 --> 00:51:46.480
Uh because Sean O'Malley already has a win on Peter Yan, and it was a controversial win.
00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:48.239
So questions are there.
00:51:48.639 --> 00:51:50.960
I think they'll skip over Songy Dong.
00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:56.320
So there's uh a big implications for who who wins that belt.
00:51:56.559 --> 00:51:56.960
Yeah.
00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:00.960
I mean I I understand, and that does make a certain sense.
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:07.119
I gotta say, I'd prefer to see Song against O'Malley before any of the before.
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:09.679
Oh he did?
00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:10.719
Very recently.
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:11.199
Oh.
00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:12.320
Check his record.
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:15.599
Um I'm forgetful, I'm sorry.
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:23.679
Yeah, very uh it's just um very unfortunate, you know, but uh Songgy Dong, man.
00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:25.119
Very impressive.
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:34.880
Uh nonetheless, so it's kinda like what do you it's like a big a lot of questions in this division as to what do you do after that championship batt, you know.
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:47.039
And uh moving on from those amazing cards, man.
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:49.199
How many finishes on those cards?
00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:50.960
Uh very impressive.
00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:54.559
We've been spoiled with finishes, we've been spoiled with these cards, man.
00:52:54.719 --> 00:53:03.599
We've been spoiled these cards, a lot of finishes, a lot of knockouts, a lot of shocking moments, a lot of MMA math, not mathing.
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:05.440
Ugh.
00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:10.000
Uh a couple of coming events before we uh get out of the octagon.
00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:12.719
Uh Dan Hooker versus Parnas.
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:20.320
Uh you got Silva versus Delgado later on, and you got UFC 331 in September 19.
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:25.360
Very, very, very excited about this card.
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:26.480
Uh Van vs.
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:28.000
Pantoja 2.
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:32.559
The freak accident that took out the cannibal Pantoja.
00:53:33.519 --> 00:53:37.599
Uh I've been watching Pantoja for a long time.
00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:46.639
Uh mainstay of the flyway division, uh, the the you know, the great champion, one of the greatest champions to ever do it in that division.
00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:47.519
I've seen it.
00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:51.039
And then a freak accident steals his belt.
00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:54.079
But it's giving us this.
00:53:54.559 --> 00:54:05.440
And what this is becoming is an actual rivalry because uh the press conference was one of the first times I've seen Pantoja actually get riled up.
00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:10.880
Usually he's very measured, very soft spoken, very respectful.
00:54:11.119 --> 00:54:12.239
That's Pantoja.
00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:12.960
Right.
00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:26.400
But Joshua Van is taking the the ugly side out of Pantoja, and uh they're going at it, so uh that's this adds another level to this fight, which uh already was at a very all-time high.
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:27.679
Yeah.
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:34.559
On that same card, it's gonna be in Los Angeles, Armin Sarukian versus Mauricio Rufi on the under there.
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:36.719
And looking forward to that fight.
00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:44.320
If Roofy doesn't work on his takedown defense, he might not be able to put that striking to test against Armin Sarukian.
00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:45.039
Very true.
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:50.480
Who we know the Armenians in LA are gonna be all over Armin.
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:52.639
They're cheering him on crazy.
00:54:53.519 --> 00:54:58.159
Uh Patricio put uh pitbull on that card versus uh Doo Huchoi.
00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:00.559
Uh that's gonna be a freaking banger.
00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:04.320
Renato Moikano versus Brianortega at 155.
00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:06.159
Very impressive.
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:12.400
Alonso Menifield versus Ew Bernowski, who Ewell has never been in a boring fight.
00:55:12.559 --> 00:55:15.039
He's either gonna die on his shield or he's gonna kill you.
00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:24.000
Uh Gable Stevenson, the um Olympic medalist against uh Sean Shareff.
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:26.400
Um I think it's gonna be good as well.
00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:29.039
On the prelims, nonetheless.
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:32.639
Um Marlon Chitovera versus Charles Jodan.
00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:34.559
Another great fight.
00:55:34.960 --> 00:55:36.480
Tetu Ivasa.
00:55:36.639 --> 00:55:41.599
I know we got a lot of Tai tu Ivasa fans in here versus Robles de Spagna.
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:49.679
Um I don't know if the UFC hates Tai Tu Ivasa or if they want to see him get knocked out.
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:50.960
Yeah, maybe.
00:55:51.360 --> 00:55:56.480
But uh minus 650 Robles, who's making his comeback to the UFC.
00:55:57.840 --> 00:56:10.880
Um funny thing about uh uh Robles is that he became kind of like a little journeyman after his short stint in the UFC, knocking out a lot of people in other organizations.
00:56:11.840 --> 00:56:12.880
Uh yeah.
00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:34.800
Uh and I really feel like this comeback was it's fun, it's definitely fun, but kind of unfortunate for Ty to Ibasa, who I really am not I'm not talking shit, you know, I'm not saying anything, you know, but seven fights in a row, he's gonna lose is it's a lot, it's a lot.
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:38.719
Uh a lot, a lot to think about, a lot to talk about.
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:42.960
Uh Shab Zayan versus Bruno Ferrero.
00:56:43.039 --> 00:56:46.079
So that prelims card is looking nasty, dude.
00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:50.239
Uh Giga Chikatse in the early prelims.
00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:52.800
Giga in the early prelims.
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:53.519
Yeah.
00:56:53.840 --> 00:56:56.159
You guys gotta watch this card, man.
00:56:56.480 --> 00:56:58.400
Uh, very impressive.
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:02.239
Uh a couple cards that got announced very recently.
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:03.760
Uh Rosos Jr.
00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:04.000
vs.
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:05.280
Barcellos.
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:06.800
Uh Barry.
00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:09.280
Uh that's gonna be a good fight nonetheless.
00:57:09.679 --> 00:57:12.079
Uh Brendan Allen versus Duncan.
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:14.639
You got Buckley versus Mike Mullat.
00:57:14.800 --> 00:57:16.559
That was announced very recently, too.
00:57:16.800 --> 00:57:18.800
That's gonna be a freaking war.
00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:38.079
Uh um ultimately coming out uh culminating with the last card that was announced very recently was that UFC 333 confirmed to be Volkonowski defending his belt maybe for the last time against Evalev, who long time coming for Eveluv.
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:38.719
Right.
00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:44.320
I mean, last time or not, a Volkanovsky fight is a good fight to watch.
00:57:44.639 --> 00:57:45.920
Absolutely.
00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:53.760
And as promised, the little bit of drama that we have to end the show out of the octagon.
00:57:54.239 --> 00:57:55.360
Drumallama.
00:57:55.679 --> 00:58:10.800
That Gillian Robertson and ver her d her coach, her longtime coach, Dean Thomas, uh, the words that he said afterward, ultimately giving a apology, um, which I'll play for you guys right now.
00:58:11.119 --> 00:58:15.519
Just real quick before that actually started, I'm just gonna throw it out there.
00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:17.599
Total douche canoe.
00:58:19.599 --> 00:58:21.199
Seems to be the sentiment of a lot of people.
00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:25.679
Even the apology is wishy-washy mealy-mouth nonsense.
00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:35.199
Um, yes, it's just it's a a lot to take in.
00:58:42.239 --> 00:58:57.360
Ultimately, Dean Thomas's comments about Gillian Robertson and how he felt that this is as far as she can go and that he's not gonna corner people, goes on to do another show, uh, another UFC affiliated show.
00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:02.159
And ultimately they asked him, Are you done with coaching and and cornering people?
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:06.480
And he said he's actually gonna be cornering Sean Brady.
00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:13.599
Um And that just added this whole other storm to him.
00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:23.360
Along with the already s big storm of hate that he's receiving, forcing him to go on and do an on-air apology, which will play for you.
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:34.079
Saturday night was the inappropriate time for me to bring up the fact that I did not want a corner.
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:37.840
It was completely irresponsible.
00:59:38.239 --> 00:59:39.280
It was irrespective.
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:41.039
I shouldn't have done it.
00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:45.119
I should have waited until I should have waited until a different time.
00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:54.400
Take away this is a young lady that I've worked with for her entire since she was fifteen years old.
01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:43.920
I got your back, I've always had your back, this is not the end.
01:00:44.480 --> 01:00:46.159
I've always had your back.
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:50.320
And I want you to know that I'm always here for you, I'm always gonna support you.
01:00:50.480 --> 01:01:02.960
And whatever you need, I'm always here for you the same way I've been for you for the last seven years when it was just Yeah, actions speak louder than words, and his actions say he's not always there for her.
01:01:03.280 --> 01:01:05.280
He doesn't always have her back.
01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:07.760
Very unfortunate situation.
01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:14.400
He didn't even have the balls to tell her to her face beforehand that he's done.
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:18.079
He's gotta be all sneaky bullshit about it.
01:01:18.400 --> 01:01:19.199
On TV, right.
01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:26.960
On TV and then put out this mealy mouth nonsense of I've always got your back, I still love you, blah blah blah.
01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:32.480
It's like yeah, yes, yes, you can still love a person despite doing this to them.
01:01:32.719 --> 01:01:32.880
True.
01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:33.920
Yah yeah yeah.
01:01:34.159 --> 01:01:34.719
Right.
01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:43.679
But to try and say that you always have their back and will always have their back, your actions just show that you don't.
01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:47.199
Especially after you retire only to un at unretire.
01:01:48.000 --> 01:02:05.679
And then not the end of the story, as we continue with um comments afterward of him seemingly confirming that he did it for views, that he did it for uh some sort of clout to get attention.
01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:07.519
I'm not sure what it was.
01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:11.920
That's a that's an ad hoc reason.
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:13.039
I don't know.
01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:42.400
Ultimately, uh Ariel Hallwani reporting on this afterward, uh, asking Jarlien Roberts personally if she's responded to uh Dean Thomas, if she's accepted his apology, and uh her statement ultimately saying that she did not accept the apology and has not really spoken to him um in regards to it, and she also stated that the apology did not feel sincere given the comments said afterward.
01:02:42.800 --> 01:02:45.920
Yeah, hell no, even the comments in the middle of it.
01:02:47.360 --> 01:03:07.440
You know what, this is very sad that we're talking about this aftermath, this this hell that's going on for Jillian Thomas, instead of the amazing career that she's had so far, the records that she's broken, the run that she's had, becoming a championship contender.
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:08.639
Yeah.
01:03:10.079 --> 01:03:17.440
To we're we're talking about this and that and drama, and and what what do you think, Gillian?
01:03:17.599 --> 01:03:19.039
And what are you gonna do?
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:21.760
And and and and how do you feel about this?
01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:24.400
Obviously, she probably feels horrible.
01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:32.960
She probably feels like she's kicked while she's down, she's betrayed, she's heartbroken, and ah man.
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:39.440
I don't know what was really going through Dean Thomas' mind in that moment.
01:03:41.360 --> 01:03:55.199
But um I myself, it sounds like you, it sounds like a lot of the MMA community, it sounds like a lot of them MMA media is on Jillian Roberts' side on this one.
01:03:56.559 --> 01:04:04.639
Yeah, yeah, uh, let's see where this one goes, but that's pretty much the update as of now.
01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:15.519
Um, I know that this is uh riling up a lot of emotions in a lot of people, and for that kind of thing, you have to keep those gloves up.
01:04:15.760 --> 01:04:17.039
Yeah, you do.
01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:22.639
