Speaker 1: What up, guys, Welcome back to three rounds. I know I haven't been doing the show because I've been in training camp. I've been talking and talking and talking and talking, just getting ready because it's hard to do fifteen minutes. But I'm ready for a fifteen minute fight. I'm ready back for three rounds. I'm ready to go. Are you come on? Man, Let's get to the fight. Because we got news, baby, we got news. Let's go. All right, I'm wrong one, Let's go. We haven't done this for a while, so I gotta make sure I'm warmed up. But you know who doesn't need a warm up because they just got out of the octagon. Your boy, Matt Brown, who tied Derek Lewis last weekend for the knockout record in the UFC. Look, guys, when you start getting records, when you start knocking people out, even at forty two, when you start getting into their record books, you start to kind of feel good about yourself. You start to really feel yourself. Matt Brown's feeling himself. He said that he would fight Connor McGregor. He was so sure that he goes on record calling on Connor at the postfight press conference and then doing it again, saying it's crazy. It kind of blew up on me. I'd fight him for it, meaning the record, wouldn't you. It's like, fuck, yeah, bro, you want the record, come and get it, bitch. It's Matt Brown talking, he goes. I think that it would be a great fight. I just don't know if Connor is actually coming back. I'm pretty well convinced that he's not even going to ever fight again. I think he just likes being in the spotlight, and I think he likes people talking about him. We all do it constantly. He likes being heard, he likes the ego boost and all that kind of stuff. Hey, guys asked me the other day, would you come back to fight? This guy said no. Only guy I'm coming back to fight is Conor McGregor, because I know what it does for your career. If you beat him, it completely changes everything. And we have seen it time and time again. Guys just weren't beating him before, but I saw it when I be beat him. When I be beat this guy, his level of stardom went to a different level. Habib and Connor don't get along and they never will. But Habib would even tell you that he had to recognize the difference in his profile after the McGregor fight and before the McGregor fight Dustin Pourier, same thing. When you lose to Conda McGregor, nothing changes, but when you beat him, everything changes. Dustin Pourier went to Abu Dhabi with about two million Instagram followers, left with four. Habib went into Las Vegas with a few million Instagram followers, left with about ten. It's that much of a difference when you beat a guy that possesses the star quality that Connor McGregor does. But there's something to that. Matt Brown is shooting a shot, and why not he recognizes that he sees it. Anybody would have a brain would see it. But even though you shoot the shot, listen to the names that I just told you. If you beat him, you become a Biggert star. You also got to listen to the name of the people that he fought and Matt Brown, I don't think fits the bill. You're talking kuldb Be, You're talking Dustin Poitier, Champion, Interim champion, You're talking Cowboy Seroni. He's had thirty some UFC fights like Matt, but has fought for belts and everything else. You would never think that cowboy was a guy that has kind of traveled and just been in the game. I don't know if Matt fits the bill, and that's why Connor responded in the way that he did. He almost no sold them, calling it a woeful attempt at getting a fight. No disrespect to Matt, but I don't think it makes sense for McGregor to respond to him, just like Jones getting his name called by everyone and just ignoring the ones that don't truly fit the bill to get the fight. Because what's the point in building someone if you're never have the attention of fighting them. What's the point in Connor McGregor actually speaking about Matt Brown when he won't fight Matt Brown, Because what's the benefit to fighting Matt Brown. You saw it all the way back to Jeremy Stevens. Who the fuck is that guy? Who the fuck is dead guy? So Jeremy Stevens, a guy that knocked so many people out, so many people out, and kind of sold him. But he was up there standing across from Josey Aldo. He was up there staring across from Eddie Alvarez. How beating Omega medaloff. You have to fit the bill to fight Connor McGregor. So while Matt Brown shot a shot, I don't anticipate it turns into anything, but at least he gave it a chance. And speaking of being back, Matt Brown doesn't believe that Connor McGregor is going to be back, but you know it is back. The BMF title, baby, that they say black is beautiful and that title is a beautiful title, right. I don't care what you think about the meaning of that title. When you look at the BMF title, you recognize it's a beautiful belt. It is a beautiful belt. With the rock walking out the presented in Madison Square Garden, it felt big. It felt big, It felt like we were seeing something different. The BMF Championship was almost created based on the words of Nathan Diz and Am in twenty nineteen because Gamebred was in the crowd. After Nate being Anthony Petterson said, I'm the baddest and good I know another bad motherfucker than not gonna find and his name is Lori Masvidal. Light Bulb went off, like, yo, we can create a title and have these two dudes fight. People talk about there's a rumor that there has to be a belt on the line to main the vent of pay per view. I don't know that that's true. I don't know if that's true. I don't know, but I don't think that that's why I was created. I think Nate had a pretty good idea and the people in the know and the people in charge were like, yo, this makes sense because now we have something to fight for. Everybody wants to fight for something. And when you talk about bad motherfuckers, Justin Gatgee and Dustin Pourier come to mind immediately. These two guys are gonna fight for the second time.
Load full transcript
First time they fought in twenty eighteen, they were both good, very exciting guys in the UFC and we all look forward to the fight. But today they're two different fighters. Gaichie had just lost for the first time in his career when Eddie Alvarez had knocked him out, and at the point that they fought the first time, Dustin Pourier had been up and down. They were not the complete versions of themselves that they are today. Because for as good as Justin Geagee was, that was only his fourth appearance aside the octagon. He was not ready. He was not prepared to go to the top like he has now. Dustin Pourier was finding his footing at one fifty five and truly becoming an elite lightweight. These guys today are both former interim champions and worked that way back to title fights another time, Pourier losing to Charles Lavera, Justin Geachee losing the hot beat in the Mega MEDALFF. This is the fight to make for the BMF Championship because there is no one like these two. And while Justin Geage is a little more forward with it's crazy, Dustin Poier is about as much of a dog as you're ever gonna find. He's crazy too, he just doesn't say it as outwardly as Justin Geechee. But when you listen to the words of Dustin Pourier, he's a dog. I'm telling you, I know people from Louisiana and he is about as down home as they come. And he is going to fight you. Whether you're in the octagon, on the streets, at a basketball game, football game, it don't matter where you at. If you pick a fight with Dustin Poitier, he's ready to fight you. Same goes for Justin Geechee has no emotion when it comes to the fight. Very rarely do you find people that comfortable in the uncomfortable. Justin Geechee is comfortable in that uncomfortable. I love the location, love the location. These fans were starved for mixed martial arts, and when they got usman versus Edwards one, they absolutely showed out. One are the loudest crowds that I have been a part of in a really long time. They showed out because they got a sport that they all love to watch. But I asked you this question, is this new champion gonna defend the BMF title? I believe that these two athletes would go up, they would fight at one fifty five, and they would defend that belt. Because if we're gonna keep rolling it out, it has to become a thing that gets put on the line, especially if these guys aren't fighting for championships. But here's the issue. Maswadal didn't seem to want to defend that championship even though people called for it many times. Is the rock gonna be there again and make it feel as important as it did in Madison Square? The winner is going to set themselves up for another crack at the championship with Markachev being the champ a new champions place. And it's always easier, guys, to call for a title fight when you're carrying a belt on your shoulders. And that's exactly what one of these two are gonna do in Salt Lake City. But let's not not defend the BMF Championship because now it means something, all right, guys.

Last minute ticket purchases are made easier with the game Same time app All right, guys, as I get in the round three, I'm gonna talk a little bit about UFC two ninety one. But one quick thought, what if the BMF champion becomes the champion? Are we not in a situation like Roman Reigns where you got the double championship belt you defend a boat. That would be amazing. That would be amazing. Let me say something I love. I love storylines. Whoo, what a storyline that would be u f C two ninety one from Salt Lake City, Utah. It might just be the greatest card announced this year in terms of star quality, former champions, important fights at the very top going all the way down, at least in terms of the card that we know today. You have former interim champion Dustin Pourer and Justin Gaetgee fight. You have former light everyweight champion On Beohovich taking on a middle former middleweight champion Alex Beeheda. You have former interim champion Tony Ferguson competing in the octagon. You also have former title challengers Paulo Costa Derek Lewis and Steven won the boy Thompson. This is guys on paper, a tremendous fight card, and as I spoke about in the last round, there is crowds and then there are crowds. Salt Lake City crowd deserves this. That's why there is another pay per view in July, and it stays here. Initially this pay per view was gonna be in London or something. It stays here in Salt Lake City because these people were that excited about the fight. Last time I was in Salt Lake I went to dinner and there's a restaurant Dana loved so much. He was just going out there on the way home to pick up the food to go and eat it in his hotel. I can't remember the name of the place, but he loves that place. The restaurants were great. I found straight Louisiana Food in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I ate that restaurant every single night. It was walking distance from the hotel. It's a tremendous town. Never would have thought great golf courses, great food, great fans, and they deserve this fight card. How does Alex Pajeeda do against Jean Behovis, there's does jan le me ask you this? Does Jean Behovis just fight him in the way that he fought? Is he late in the fight? Because that would seem to be the
easiest way to take on the challenge of Alex Pejeda. But we have also seen that legendary Polish power put many people out. So what would make Behovich not feel like he could stand in trade with Alex Pejeda, especially after we just saw Ezzy knock came out. I already spoke to you about getchee versus Pourier unbelievable. Bobby Green gets an opportunity. Bobby Green was one of those guys during the pandemic that his messages really spoke to a lot of people. His positiveness, the way that he looked at the world really did uplift a lot of people. But lately it hasn't been going good for Bobby Green. So it's gonna be on Bobby to change the narrative not only be a shining light. The reason those messages meant so much also was because he was winning in the pandemic. He was winning. Because he was winning, people were paying attention. Tony Ferguson would seem to be on his last leg. But if there's anyone that can turn back the clock, it is El Kakui. He had moments against Na Diez, but Bobby Green he has a guy more his size, Paulo Costa versus ikram alaskairov guys this Ali Scaoff. The fact that he's fighting paul Lo Costa and fight number two tells you what the company thinks of this guy and how good they think he can be in the potential. You seeing Ali Scaaroff. This guy fought against Phil Hawes in his first fight and now he's fighting Paulo cost As. Anyone had a hard or tough two fights to start their UFC career, especially after they came off of the Contendent series, where generally you build guys slowly. Michelle Paeda is getting his opportunity against Steven wonder Boy Thompson. Peeda has looked amazing in this latest run, but Stephen Thompson has done it many times. He has put guys backwards in their pursuit of getting to the top of the division because he's that good. The Black Vis Derek Lewis takes on Marcos Rogerio Dilima two bangers at heavyweight, and Michael Kiesa faces Kevin Holland. Massive fight card from Salt Lake City, Massive stakes for everyone involved, and I cannot wait to sit octagon side with John Nnick and Joe Rogan and enjoy the festivities. Let's go, And now for my final thought, the mixed martial arts news cycle has been moving very quickly. We are living in a blessed time because when things are slow, it means that our sport is not going in the right direction. Right now, it's moving. We got Francis and Goanho making history. We got the UFC announcing two major cards also with Al Jamaine taking on Sean O'Malley for the bandaweight championship in Boston, Jean Wayelee coming back to defend her championship against a man the Limos. There is so much going on in this great sport right now that we should all take a breath and live in it. Let go of why this was done or why this was done, enjoy the spoils of everything that's happening mixed martial arts. I know that I am I am a bigger fan today than I have ever been of this beautiful sport that I watch and I cover. You should do that too. Get with your friends, introduce somebody new to this sport because it is the most true sport that you could ever encounter. Guys, thank you again for joining me for three rounds. I'm so happy to be back doing it. I'm so happy to be back home for a little bit. It has been in absolute grind. Until next time, Tell your friend to tell a friend that DC's got a YouTube channel and you can catch three rounds, check ins, Funky in the Champions, so much more. Until next time, Peace,
