Speaker 2: Welcome to a brand new episode here at the Daniel Cormier Show brought to you by Total Wireless, the official mobile service provider of UFC. Real UFC fans need unlimited 5G data that won't tap out. Real fans need real unlimited. So guys, I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah at the wonderful Little America Hotel. And, uh, I was thinking about the heavyweight title fight and Alex Pereira and his insistence that he would get a rematch.
00:02:07
Speaker 1: Alex Pereira is powerful. If you don't believe that.
00:02:13
Speaker 2: Alex Pereira carries a cachet about himself, a power with him, you have not been to a UFC fight.
00:02:21
Speaker 1: When Alex Pereira got on Herb Dean.
00:02:23
Speaker 2: For the way that he stopped the fight and allowing Cyril Gunn to hit him behind the head, at least what he thought was a whole bunch of shots behind the head, it has completely changed the way people react and respond to Herb Dean. Herb Dean, for a long time, since John McCarthy left, was the referee that when he was announced, people would cheer because he was the most recognizable name in officiating. Now he gets drowned out in booze. It is starting to fade a little bit. But it was like really bad after the White House card. Pereira was just kind of attacking him constantly. So Alex carries a lot of power with him, with his name, and justifiably so with what he has done. His popularity, his fighting style, showing up for the company, X, Y, and Z. So he was insistent that he should fight for the belt right now. But as you guys know, Josh Holkett versus Cyril Ghosn will be fighting

for the heavyweight championship in Madison Square Garden.
00:03:29
Speaker 1: Amazing.
00:03:30
Speaker 2: That was the fight that I was calling for because I was of the belief that Alex should fight someone else before he gets another opportunity at the heavyweight title. I know that Josh Hokett has come at me. I know that Josh Hokett can be a bit much, but I believe that if you're moving on from Tom Aspinall right now, he's walking away from the title. I believe that Josh Hokett should be some part of the next heavyweight title fight. I left Washington, D.C., if I'm being completely honest, thinking maybe... Light heavyweight was the limits at which he should be competing because he looked a little smaller. While he may have weighed more than Cyril Ghosn, his frame just didn't look as big as Cyril Ghosn. And when you're a power guy, size is very important. Pereira didn't seem to have that at the White House. Anyhow, Dana White said when asked about why Pereira is getting the title fight, He said, look, we saw what that fight looks like. We believe that Josh Hokett is the guy that deserves to have a title opportunity and fight for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.
00:04:38
Speaker 1: We make fights based on star power? I don't know. That's what I'm asking you. We make fights based on who is the best in the world. I kind of agree.
00:04:46
Speaker 2: But in saying that, it leads people to wonder what next for Peraritan because he is the biggest star or one of the biggest stars in the whole organization. So Nita Drama, as Dana, how many comments for you to announce on my stream? What's next for Poetan? Look, Again, Poiton has power. Poiton has cachet. People walk through the turnstiles to go and watch this dude fight.
00:05:15
Speaker 1: Right?
00:05:15
Speaker 2: They show up for Pereira. Every single time he fights, it's sold out. He's a massive headliner. Dana probably thinks up an absurd number of people to try to put it out there.
00:05:28
Speaker 1: 31,000 comments. Not likes, guys. Not likes.
00:05:32
Speaker 2: Dana said, give me 25,000 comments. This video is at 31,000 comments. So tonight we will learn what's next for Policom.
00:05:42
Speaker 1: Here's where. I, Daniel, who have nothing to do with Alex Pereira's career.
00:05:50
Speaker 2: He has been always generous with us at Daniel Cormier's show, with his time.
00:05:56
Speaker 1: He's always been fun.
00:05:57
Speaker 2: I would consider Alex and I to have a great relationship, right? It's always been very pleasant whenever I come into contact with Poiton.
00:06:06
Speaker 1: We've had some truly viral videos from the pranks to the kicks.
00:06:11
Speaker 2: Oh! That's why we choose always Russell Takedown. I would say we've developed a bit of a friendship. I believe, again, I believe that Pereira should fight at 205. I believe that he should fight at 205. I think that that's the sweet spot for Alex Pereira. I think heavyweight's big. I think 185 is like killing him to make the weight. I think 205 is that sweet spot where he can ultimately max out his powers. Now, there's a video of Pereira hitting the bag. Luis, play the video.
00:06:54
Speaker 1: Look at the power.
00:06:55
Speaker 2: When you hit like that, I can understand where Alex is going. Why should I ever have to cut weight again in my life? He hits so hard. He's got so much power. Obviously, he has amazing technique. He's a kickboxing world champion.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: He has all the.
00:07:12
Speaker 2: Skill and ability to be as good as he wants in any weight class he wants. But there are weight classes for a reason. I think heavyweight is like right at that limit. of probably where he shouldn't be. I mean, Cyril Gunn is as big as he is, but he's also a guy that his whole life he's been a heavyweight. Cyril Gunn said before him and Alex fought last time that the last time he weighed 185 pounds, he was like 13th. 13th. We saw Poetown making that weight a few years ago. Now, I could be completely wrong. And I do believe that Alex does have the potential to become a heavyweight world champion. But I also believe like Islam, right? 170 is as high as he can go. There was talk a while ago about maybe Islam can go to 180. He can't go to 185.
00:08:00
Speaker 1: He's too small.
00:08:03
Speaker 2: Islam used 100% of what he was in that last fight to beat Ian Gary.
00:08:10
Speaker 1: Because Ian Gary's so big. And then the next guy he's going to fight, he's going.
00:08:14
Speaker 2: To have to use 100% of who he is in order to beat that person.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: Because they're just big.
00:08:21
Speaker 2: And size does matter in fighting, in wrestling, in any combat sport. Size does matter at a particular point, especially when you start getting to the elite of the elite in that division. So I guess today we find out what happens next for Poletarn. I guess I'm hoping it's 205. I doubt it, though, because, again, look at this dude cracking the bag. When you crack the bag with that power, you hit somebody clean. Heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, all the way up and.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: Down, wherever. He'll knock them out. He just hits that hard.
00:08:56
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see what's next for Poiton because while the heavyweight title fight is going to be explosive because Josh Hogan is going to Josh Hogan and Cyril Ghosn is going to do what Cyril Ghosn does. Whether you love him or you hate him, what Cyril Ghosn does is that dude wins. He knows how to win. He knows how to fight. He knows how to compete at the highest level. That's why he's got so many chances at the UFC championship. He's an amazing fighter. And we will see if Josh Hokit is ready for that level of fighter so fast in his career. Guys, it wasn't long ago that Hokit was fighting on the Contender Series. He's already found himself as the number one contender for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. It is insane to think how quick he has moved through the UFC Heavyweight rankings.
00:09:45
Speaker 1: It's nuts.
00:09:45
Speaker 2: It's nuts. Hey, so Polymarket is our new betting sponsor here at the channel. And so we do these picks. But Polymarket's like a stock exchange. So I wrote some stuff down for you guys, UFC 332. I've got a combo for you.
00:10:02
Speaker 1: All right? We're calling it, that's what we call it here at Polymarket. We call it a combo.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: So on this combo here, it's a yes or a no on the odds and the percentages of said bet. So for me, I got Natalia Silva versus Wong Kong.
00:10:20
Speaker 1: Wong Tong, guys, by the way, Wong Tong.
00:10:23
Speaker 2: Is going to be decision. I will take it yes. That's market value. I'm going yes on Silva versus Tong by decision. Figueredo Talbot, a knockout.
00:10:33
Speaker 1: Guys, take the yes on that. I believe that this fight ends in a knockout.
00:10:38
Speaker 2: And Rebovitz versus Green, 51% that this fight ends in knockout. I think that's a fair market value. I'm taking a yes on that one, too. So that's three yeses. I got Silva's long-term decision. I got Figueredo versus Talbot by knockout. I got Rivas versus Green by knockout.
00:10:58
Speaker 1: All right, guys. So, again, that's Silva versus Tong by decision. Yes.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: Rebovich versus Green by knockout, yes. Figueiredo versus Talbot, that's also a yes. So go to Polymarket right now.
