the well I’m sure you’re uh still processing
everything a little bit but I guess what is the emotions right now right I mean it’s not a loss but you also didn’t get your title back tonight so what are your
feelings right now it’s kind of like um Crossing feelings from one side I uh
proud of myself because I fought I Fought the Battle till from the first
second to the very end of the fight I fought with all my heart with all my soul and from the other side it’s like
frustration because I think um three rounds I won
two rounds it maybe was her but I feel that 108 in the fifth round it’s
completely unfair it was some illegal shots like knes in the first round unfortunately it was like nothing to do
with that but I feel that it’s not it’s against my like personal rules that stop
and complain right it’s kind of like I every time was feeling hard um position
situation I trying to find the way to succeed and that’s why I didn’t stop I
broke my T in the first round and it’s like fractured now um I felt it’s kind
of like affecting my striking but in the same time I felt if I would stop um it’s
GNA be very frustrating for the whole fans who was um this night because they
was uh waiting this fight they want to see the fight and if I stop in the first
round and say I cannot continue I felt like it’s going to be um again against
my own person personal rules that’s why I continue I continue fight with my
whole heart I think I did everything to secure the Victory and unfortunately I
think because U this event it’s like Mexican Independence Day that’s why it’s
affected that decision of the judge to get to give 108 in the fifth round and
for my uh experience 108 it’s when one fighter completely cannot do nothing
it’s like running around waiting there looking for escape from the octagon it’s
like miserable but in the fifth round it was like four minutes or how many
minutes stand up and she didn’t let one punch and she only could take the back
position on the like what it was last minute minute and a half I I don’t
remember now but even there it was not damage it was not too much damage to
succeed this 108 that’s why kind of like I I’m saying it’s double feeling one
side I proud of myself and one side uh I frustrating from the judge decision and
just ask you to clarify that on the Mexican Independence Day thing are you saying that you think the judges factor that in or do you mean because it was a
pro Mexican crowd the volume was so loud the cheering was so loud that maybe the judge thinks it’s more dominant than it
really is um really I don’t know what it was um B decision from that but 108 is
108 and 108 it’s kind of like um not the what it was in the fifth round right
Denise uh how much did they affect you said you didn’t want to stop and complain or I mean how much did that
moment concern you or affect you uh it’s kind of like affected because it was knes to the Head
it it was not cut uh luckily for me but uh I was grounded opponent I had my uh
finger on the on the mat and it’s this is what you cannot do with a ground
opponent but it’s kind of like again I saying it’s not um my personal rules
it’s going to go against it if I stop and say oh my God I cannot continue because I’m the warrior I have to
continue I have to find the way to succeed anything in there that she did you talk
about the battles that you had to get through was there anything that she did that surprised you obviously you’ve got a lot of experience with there in very
close fights at this point was there anything new tonight that you weren’t expecting not this fight I expected it’s
going to be War I expected it’s going to be battle and we went to on a battle we
went like uh like best flyweights in the world we were there and I think I did uh
enough to secure the victory but because of this 108 it was a draw draw it’s not
a loss but in my case it’s not a victory last thing for me I mean obviously
you’ve got to clear up your hand and all that but I’m just curious kind of as you sit there your motivation is it like we
got to do this again because I got to get my belt back or is it like well maybe I’ll go to 35 maybe there’s other
things out there I mean as you sit there right now I know you can’t say for sure but what sounds most appealing to you um
first of all I don’t want rush I don’t want to say something that um tomorrow I
will change my mind first of all I want to see how long it’s going to heal because this is the most important if I
uh my next fight when it’s going to happen I want to perform the best way what I can I going to I don’t want to
like perform 50% I want to I want to do 100 that’s why right now um I don’t know
what is going to be next uh who is going to be next but I am here and this this
performance tonight I show that uh I have much more forward to go this is
this is kind of like no stop no uh less power what I have no less motivation
it’s kind of like no matter uh how old I am I am feeling great and um I’m happy
that martial arts is my lifestyle I happy that martial arts is the way what
I am living my life and I want to do that before I feel this motivation and
hopefully I going to feel that for a long time Valentina just on the knees do you think Alexa knew they were illegal
do you think Just In the Heat of the fight she just threw them and it was up to the referee to say hey you’re fouling right now uh right now it’s very hard
for me to say I have to rewatch that I have to exactly see the moment but I
remember my fingers was on the um mats I remember that it was on the floor and I
was kind of like um at that time I in that minute in the fight I didn’t think
to stop I didn’t think but I was kind of like uh looking to the referee and waiting to I act something but he said
continue and I continue when you found out that the fifth round was scored at 108 by one judge what was your immediate
reaction cuz it’s one it’s one thing for them to say oh there was a round that’s 108 but to know it was the fifth round
which I think not many people in here was would say that’s a 108 what was your reaction to that um I could not believe
that it’s happening that fifth round it’s 108 it was surprising for me very
surprising over here you mentioned your frustration with that 108 given to Lex on the 5th and we all know judges are
subject to criticism often in this game from a Fighter’s perspective is there something you’d like to see change in
the way judging works with these fights um I feel that um to give at
108 you have to to be very sure that is it is
108 and but it was not our case it kind of like was not even close to
108 and yeah I I hope it’s going to change but I know many fighters go
through the same frustration uh when it’s kind of like that way but you cannot do nothing the
official decision it’s official decision as I mentioned it’s a draw it’s not a
loss but in my case it’s not a victory and you also stated the crowd affecting
that result maybe that 108 if the trilogy is next and it were up to you where would you want that fight to take
place and under which circumstances um I’m the fighter who um never choose opponents never choose
place never choose the moment I just go there and I prepare myself for the full
battle this is what I was uh the way what I was growing up because um I feel
this is my character this is U representing me as a fighter because I don’t want to be the picky one like oh
my God I don’t like this I will do that I don’t go there I just like do what I
love I love to fight I love to perform and I I have to um get ready for the
fight and although the energy was not for you necessarily did you did you enjoy seeing all those fans come out and
support both of you guys uh yes definitely it was every time the fans they are supporting like Fighters it’s
something that very motivational and uh definitely but um I can say in this
fight I didn’t feel um like I mean already in the fight I didn’t I didn’t
um hear the crowd how they like was cheering my opponent or what because I
was so focusing on winning I was so focusing to go there and get my belt back that’s why I kind of like was
feeling um I have a block I have a block from the whole crowds and it uh didn’t
affect me uh anyhow thank you Valentina one question over here in the back uh
you’ve been obviously dominant for so long when you went out to the cage this time emotionally as the Challenger how
did it feel different if at all to your previous fights um first of all it felt um
amazing because I go there for a battle I go there for a war and I went there
and um for me um like Champion Challenger inside of
the Octagon you do the same you fight the same and if you are not fighting
fighting the same like no matter what um corner you are what color of corner you
are it’s kind of like um I cannot say that it’s like pure like
feeling of the fighter but uh I every time performs the best what I can can no
matter if I am Champion or if I am a challenger thank Valentina how did you
feel about the fourth round and what was going through your mind heading into the fifth round um no time to stop this is
the last five minute and I have to do everything I don’t have right to like
feel that I stop for a little bit I just like um not continue to move not
continue to strike and this is what I felt it’s like 5 minutes more and I have
to go till the end
Val uh my question just for for Valentina very quickly do you think you
won the fight how did you how did you judge a fight uh I do
um
I think it was a 3-2 that that’s what I feel would be the most Fair result um as
I said said this a 108 in a fifth round a 108 in of itself and a 108 in the fifth round it’s impossible I just don’t
think that that dis plays for
that and Mike Bell actually had it 108 that’s his name that’s so who who uh who scored a 108 do you think that he needs
to come out and publicly explain what happened because a lot of people are
[Music]
confused
um yeah it would be really nice to see because actually we as Fighters I mean we we fight we fight and all of you see
it is an open to the public thing you it’s there for for everybody to see now as far as the scoring that they score it
and you don’t you know cor you don’t see it it’s not it’s a private thing so yeah I would I would actually like that to to
happen some sort of
explanation and do you want a Trilogy with Alexa after this result is that what you’re looking
[Music]
for
[Music]
for [Music]
as I said I am a fighter I’m a fighter that keeps moving on and moving forward yes uh I just want to see how my fractor
thumb is it how long does it take to recover I want to be 100% coming back but I said I’m here for a long time um I
don’t feel less strong less motivated I don’t feel I don’t feel less of anything Quite Contrary I actually feel even more
so and even I mean in comparison like a couple of years ago uh as I said I want to be here for a long time and and I
want to fight that’s what I want to
do Peru uh in any point of your career would you like to actually be in a in a
um event of the UFC in Peru
true
I we actually love to be the main event in Peru and also in my home country of KGAN and also in Thailand I mean as you
know my Camp who was in t mu Tha and U MMA is really strong there people really want to see it so I actually we have
three countries that I would like to to be a main event in yes Valentina you did
an interview before this fight and you kind of teased that you would have an announcement maybe after a win and I’m
curious that was related to bantamweight if you would have won the fight were you going to move back up to B way try and
get the belt there um y k oh I’m
sorry um it would be like uh first of all depends of the result right and and
right now I feel it’s kind of like um I cannot say um what it’s going to be
right now the next move because of the uh fracture I have to make sure that
it’s kind of like taken care and it’s kind of like healed I don’t want to um
someone to like wait on me for a long time because they kind of like also I
feel the bandom weit they was um like already how many like few months like
waiting for the um title and to wait like 6 months more I think it’s
impossible it’s unfair and the same like um but uh I’m still here and uh whatever
happened while I’m uh healing I will be right on the top for the next one have
the weight Cuts gotten harder at all at flyweight for you just you know as time goes on people say that the older you get maybe wake Cuts get a little bit
harder how has it been for you oh my God this time it was so easy it was uh I think it’s
um for people who are saying it’s getting harder it’s because they are
getting lazier and it’s kind of like with the time with the um like life uh
lifestyle it’s getting like oh my God I maybe I won’t do diet for like months or two
and do easy cut like for the last in the last week but but it’s um discipline
that you have to follow no matter what and I feel if you have this discipline
it’s no matter how old are you older or younger it’s going to be the same easy
and I think the discipline is the rule number one thanks Valentina
Valentin
uh thank you for a tremendous fight it’s also it’s always a pleasure to see you in a in such a high level and actually
giving us that that spectacle uh tonight in the fight we saw something new we saw you you know you you were knocked down
and um we wanted to know what what happened for you to recover what was the process of recovering what was said uh
between rounds that that led you to actually have such a recovery from what
[Music]
happened
just
simp
um the basically um in between rounds the the the the the instruct which to P
push forward just keep on moving forward regardless of what was happening um as far as the recover is concerned is
concerned it wasn’t a problem for me because my goal my personal goal is to keep going uh hey um yeah I didn’t feel
lost at any time um in any moment I have a hard head I mean they shaking head it
doesn’t matter I mean I felt I did I didn’t feel lost or or the the strike itself it didn’t it didn’t have
the effect uh my mind was to keep pushing forward keep going
regardless
and as I said again this was a this is a great fight it was a classic war um and
again thank you for it um how does it feel to actually be in another amazing fight one that all the fans I mean if
you go on the internet regardless of the decision or anything that happened they keep supporting you and they keep saying
this was an amazing fight so another fight for your
legacy
um at the end of the day that’s what matters the most of course I would like to be here with you with uh a belt in
front of me but um it the most important thing is giving this memory to people um
it it it was it was a fight that people will remember uh I left everything I
Left My Heart in the onagon and um this what that matters a lot is actually being part of history is a great
historic fight that people will remember graas Valentina
Valentina I have two questions for you one of them what can you what do you recall about the fight about about your
your performance tonight and also uh second question what did you feel about the Mexican crowd tonight in such a
special night um
um
trainners
[Music]
[Music] um
[Music]
um I felt very I first of all I felt strong really strong as I said I had an
amazing camp at Tiger in Thailand I had training Partners excellent training
partners that kept pushing me to my limit that’s why it allows me to be so fresh and that’s how fresh I felt during
the fight um as far as um the crowd I expected it that’s what I expected them to be like that I expect that’s normal I
would expect that to happen if it was my people um but as I said uh when that happened everything that was happening
outside the Octagon I blocked that out that did never that didn’t let me in that didn’t I didn’t let that in that
didn’t that never got inside um and that allowed me to actually keep a cool head all throughout
thank
you
hello look kind of a unique situation here right I mean you do still have your title but you didn’t get a victory
tonight I guess you’re still kind of processing a little but what’s what’s the emotion for you right now uh well
I’m happy with my performance you know I think I did um for me it was tre2 the second fourth and fifth were were for me
but I’m not the judge so um yeah I’m not the judge yeah um the feeling coming in
I mean everybody says oh it’s just the same it’s another fight but this was your first title defense and it was this
crazy noce UFC night so I mean what were the feelings the emotions everything was
it was it different tonight than it is in your other fights well yeah it was different you know it was my first main
main main event you know in a such amazing date um in Las Vegas I I always
wanted to fight here in this this beautiful date so um it was really cool I just I’m just happy I’m truly happy
with my per per per mon did it add any more nerves or pressure or just different than it normally feels when you get in there no I felt in home you
know I knew that a lot of people from Mexico were were here you know I I felt the love and the the power of all the
cheering all the energy and I was I was happy yeah your last fight was a battle
with her this fight was a battle with her um was there anything in there that was different this time around anything
you didn’t expect that surprised you no I expected like everything you know um
she’s very competitive I’m super competitive and I was expecting this like a war yeah did you I mean as you
guys were scoring you said is you’re not a judge it’s not your job but what did you think going into the fifth round is did you think you’re ahead I needed this
what was the feeling um well my coach has said hey let’s do this you know this fifth round we’re going to make a
statement and that’s what I do yeah how close do you think you were to finishing it there I was pretty close you know I
did an amazing knockdown I was Clos in a few positions you know to finish the fight and R and pound and I think I did
a a good good fight yeah she was frustrated because there was a 108 that made it a draw are you frustrated
because you round four right didn’t go your way with two of the judges you thought that was yours so are you
frustrated with the scoring no I’m not frustrated you know I I did an amazing job and that’s what I’m taking now uh
last thing for me I mean she did have an injured hand that she said she hurt in the first round so she doesn’t know when she’s going to fight um but what do you
think I mean does a Trilogy need to happen whether it be next or some point down the road or do you care if this
gets resolved um you know it’s an interesting question um I wouldn’t like to stop the
the division you know there’s a lot of girls fighting a lot you know to to have this opportunity like I did so I wouldn’t like to stop it but whatever
the UFC says I’m I’m in I’m in Alexa over here other side oh Alexa
you you said that in the fif or just before the fifth your coach has said hey let’s do this
the way that they was there a sense of urgency I mean obviously if they’re telling you let’s do this let’s finish
it did you feel that there was a sense of urgency to finish it and and try to get the win outside of a decision uh not
like an urgency but yeah we wanted to be clear like the fifth round was was for us you know the championship rounds are
amazing and and that’s why I trained so hard you know for the fourth and the fifth to be my best rounds always thank
you Alexa over here um Valentina a lot in the leadup she kept bringing up you
know seven time Muay Thai Champion I want to remind everyone but she was she shot for a lot of takedowns in there were you surprised that she wasn’t as
willing to stand with you and tried to make this a wrestling match I I was expecting that you know I know I I
always do damage with my hands and and it’s something I was expecting from her um so yeah I was I was prepared after
you dropped her in the first round or first or second round did you get a sense of like her game plan might have
changed because she did feel your power and it’s seems like after that she started to shoot for takedowns a lot more yes of course you know when you
have a a good punch and you of course you have to change your strategy and and I knew that she she changed for that did
you think any of those submissions that you were throwing up there were any of them tight and were you surprised that she survived them uh well we’re super
competitive you know we are in the top of the division for one reason and so yeah I I train very hard and I know she
did too so um I’m just happy that we both give you guys an amazing fight look
so over here going into this fight you received a lot of support from the fans here in town that the ceremonial WIS and
obviously at Fight Night itself how do feel to be the start of the show this week oh it’s amazing you know it’s um my
first main main event you know NOOA and such an amazing date and um I love all
the challenges that UFC are giving to me and I I just train so hard for giving
you know good results and uh after seeing this electric atmosphere inside the team mobile Arena what’s your
message to Dana and the team if you were to try and convince them to make no CH in annual occasion I hope I hope this could happen
every year and being have one in Spanish for the Hispanic
Community what is your message to all the fans that came to Las Vegas to see
you five at a
time
I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart I understand that takes time that takes money they have to travel uh

obviously in March you’re going out there to score a big upset over a dominant Champion tonight you get to go
out there you the favorite to a lot of people obviously the fans can you talk about emotionally and mentally what it
was like to make the walk second as the champion tonight it was amazing I remember when I’m when I did my UFC
debut it was kind of pretty similar you know a lot of people cheering my name you know sending me their vibes um when
I was walking you know I was like taking their energy touching their hands it was it was amazing you know I love that a
lot of people came to support all the Mexicans and then obviously you’re in the back getting ready but you know
Tracy loopy Daniel a lot of the Mexicans did well tonight you’re obviously aware
probably who’s winning and losing did that give you more energy or more anxiety before your fight no just
excitement you know when I saw my teammate lupy she did amazing you know she’s evolving so much I saw her um we
were together in the training camp so it was really really H I was really really happy when I saw her winning and uh all
the Mexicans you know Tracy did well to a lot of people you know I’m just happy
to see how Mexico is evolving and how the athletes are are getting better and better and we had a a date and a car
special for us so this means a lot you know about Mexico so um I’m just happy for for my country in the sport when you
tell the story about NOA UFC number one years from from now maybe your career is over what is the first thing you going
to talk about for tonight well it’s uh just going to be great memories and
that’s the goal you know to get old and just remember like oh I remember when I was doing this just good memories thank
you Alexa um it was announced on the broadcast that the UFC is going to Mexico next year are you trying to fight
on that on that card hopefully I would love to fight in Mexico again and
obviously Aaron blanchfield manano are the two contenders um would you like to
fight them next or would you like them to fight each other so that you get the winner of that or like and if you if you
do want to fight them who’s the one that you would like to fight well I’m I’m really happy they are both doing amazing
um you know I have to talk with my with my coaches with my manager and also with the UFC but definitely I would like to

going to be an amazing fight thank
you uh to all the kids that that you inspire what do you say to them as a
champion they want to be they want to be like
you
[Music]
for
I would say that the discipline the hard work and train uh very hard and not to
let yourself astray for small Pleasures um because that’s a that that’s just
shortterm uh satisfaction I mean you you do uh do everything the few thing that
things that few people will do um it will get you great things and um
continuing to work on on everything and just it’s so rewarding when you get there finally like I did it cuz I work
so hard at it and and I I I I refrain myself from doing all the things that everyone does to get things that they
won’t ever get so it’s very
important um right now you look really happy when you get into the octagon it’s
just you’re a different person it looks like a you’re a tiger hunting well yeah that’s um that’s
something that Fighters can do you know we’re chilling outside but once you get
in the oag
and once once that door closes you’re in a war uh it’s amazing but I’m glad that
I’m able to actually uh enjoy both of these things in my
life and how are you going to celebrate now um eating
pizza
got some pizza pack our bags because we have to go to well tomorrow and that’s what I like to do I like to be with the people that that are next that are with
me and supporting and that’s it Alexa a couple in English here and
then do you think this is the last you see of Valentina or do you feel like you’re gonna come across her at some
point in the future again well I don’t know you know it all depends of the UFC they want a Trilogy let’s do this if not
I would like to give an opportunity for another girl I know how it is how it is to be fighting all the time you know to
to to wait for your sport and I wouldn’t like to stop just the division but whatever the UFC says yeah but if it was
up to you do you prefer a fresh matchup or a Trilogy with
Valentina I don’t know I don’t know I just fought I don’t want to F I don’t want to fight right now but um I don’t
know whatever the US says I’m I’m always up forever and any challenge they put on
me and and the UFC did a great job in celebrating Mexican Independence and its
Mexican Talent um but Dana White hasn’t said that this is going to be a recurring thing an annual thing um would
you like for this to be an annual thing given the success of the event and and a date that you would like to fight in in
the future as well honestly yes I would like to I would love to I mean I hope this could motivate a lot of Mexican
athletes to do their best you know to to win a spot in in this date every year
and I just hope that the UFC liked what all the Mexicans did today we heard chance of Alexa Alexa VI
Mexico and and you know we really felt the Mexican presence there um wondering
did you feel it and did you feel like um your performance was enhanced by the
crowd of course you know you like I said it’s a it’s a big energy that when
you’re listening like the cheering all and every people because it might sound
crazy but they they send you the energy and you can feel it so it’s amazing to have a lot of support in
here and how did you score the fight do we did you feel comfortable did you feel that you were going to actually get the
win I said I yes I knew it was going to be a
tough fight but uh I said
3-2 and after the first fight she actually said she made a mistake and that’s what happened in that fight after
this fight winning again uh you would say I am the best you feel comfortable saying yes I am the best and I do what I
need to do
see as I said many times I um I don’t like to talk I like to show things my
work and I will keep doing
that
oh that’s one we’re not trying okay so let’s let’s go with it uh congratulations on the win
uh one of the things that happened was uh from the start of the fight you were really aggressive all both of you going
at it uh did you really feel that you were there were times that you were
going together like you really had her and of course please just illustrate
everybody um yeah I I did feel that I that I that I had moments there I I I I feel very comfortable about everything
that I did I think I did really well and see
Alexa um Valentina mentioned that she actually fat her thumb in the first round did you during moments of the
fight did you feel that were able to to pick up on
that
um we are Fighters we are going to uh always keep going no matter what I I once in a fight actually got injured and
I don’t think anybody uh never noticed um so we’re
warriors and second what are you most proud of
tonight

flashbacks but um like I said we are super competitive she did her job and it
was it was hard to to repeat it again definitely and you know one of the best
attributes you have of course is your boxing phenomenal stuff but uh throughout your career you’ve kind of I’ve noticed fans maybe criticize you
know lack of power and you know these things like that despite you having such great boxing but you got the knockdown
in this fight and I’m just curious like does it feel really good to maybe shut people up and show you have enough power to be able to knock down you know one of
the greatest fighters of all time who never really gets hurt striking just is it feel good to uh you know showcase
that a little bit yeah you know the plan was to finish the fight you know but I showed my power I’ve been showing like

Now ladies and gentlemen normally at the time you would hear the victory horde
unfortunately we don’t have any Victory horns to play new because there is no winner in the main event of Noche UFC
Main Event between Alexa Grosso and Valentina II a matchup that delivered in
a lot of ways one that dare I say delivered even more so than
the first fight but in the end it all comes down to round five looks
like Valentina is going to curse to Victory she’s jabbing away she’s peacing Alexa Grosso up and then she makes a
mistake and Alexa Grasso gets on top almost gets her out of there almost submits her
the final horn sounds we go to the judge’s scorecards one for Grasso one for chefchenko and
then we get Mike Bell’s card 47.47 it is a split draw and we’re thinking to ourselves selves
this doesn’t seem too terrible like maybe we can make a case for round two a 10-8 for Alexa Grasso
we’ll wait till the cards come out and then the great John annik lets us all know it was round five round five that was
score to ten eight and if the that card was scored the way everybody else on planet Earth scored it a 10-9 for
Valentina or a 10-9 for Lexa Grosso Valentina shivchenko is once again the
flyweight champion of the world but Alexa Grosso leaves his Champion she didn’t get the official win but much
like in the world of professional wrestling you gotta Beat the Champ to win the belt and you get to do it
the right way and we got ourselves a draw we’re gonna react to all of it right now thank you for joining us for this live post fight show appreciate you
guys being patient with us I am Mike Heck let us say hello to the rest of the panel Mr Shaheen al-shadi joining us Shaheen
how are you my friend I’m sure you get all sorts of feelings going on after the straw and the scoring especially this
fifth round yeah I’m doing well Mike it’s I’m glad to be on here uh that was a hell of a
fight first of all like I know we’re gonna get to the scoring we’re gonna talk a lot about it but man that was a
ton of fun right like I in my opinion I had a 3-2 Grasso I could have seen three two chefchenko
but to end up in a split draw initially you know I didn’t I liked
the result but I didn’t like the method that we got there if that made sense because I once it ended up with a split
draw it makes sense but Mike Bellman what are you doing what are you doing
and a man who probably didn’t love the card but in hindsight probably appreciates what this all means and just
kind of going with The Branding of what 2023 in the UFC and this sport has been another funny crazy absolute chaotic
result Mr no gray area Jean bashu how are we feeling about 25 30 minutes after
this this result was scored and even seeing the the reaction of Sean Shelby to finding out this is going to draw
I got a lot of feelings just so many feelings um we’ll get into that through all of
this uh the two most important things that I want to say is first we didn’t need Victory horns we got the drums of
competitive equilibrium and that’s totally fine like we’re we’re right here and that’s okay and two and most
importantly I think I’m about to get on this program and I’m about to defend Mike Bell not
for what happened because look it’s a bad scorecard but people
have you ever beefed you ever screwed up you ever looked at something and been like
that was a mistake and not like uh looking back at your high school yearbook photo and thinking man a high
top fade was probably not the move for me at the time this is like a oh I just immediately regret the decisions I made
and I’m staring down at this scorecard and it’s looking like if I score this at
10-9 for Grosso because she won the round she’s gonna lose the belt that does that feels a little bad inside so
I’m just gonna give in eight and then it’s all okay we’ve
all been there Mike Bell took the opportunity to change a thing against all logic and reason because the outcome
was the one he wanted to make happen and you know again probably bad process but
we’ve all been there I see you Mike I totally know what happened here and I’m not gonna crucify you for it even though
it’s bad Shaheen are you gonna crucify Mr Bell for this because I feel like I feel like
Valentina might have some words for the man and if you have seen Valentina shipchenko’s mindset the fact that she
hasn’t still has not cracked a smile since she lost the belt I think she might have some words for for Mr Bell
how are you when you found that it was round five Shaheen round five it almost
like to me it almost like soiled how good the fight was yeah that’s it was like yeah it stunned it was like a
stunning thing I was like man I guess you’re giving round two a 10-8 like I don’t love it but I guess but when I
found out it was round five I’m like it just like ruined the whole thing for me in a weird way yeah I think that’s sort
of where I’m at right because you watch this fight and all throughout it the the twists and turns the ups and downs the roller coaster nature of it it was a
tremendous fight you know I had it one one after two uh going into the final round I had it 2-2 it felt like anything
was up for grabs these near submissions knockdowns it it just the the wild swings it was it really felt like one of
these moments of like man we were about to see who’s who can dig deepest in this situation this could be an all-time gut
check moment for either one of these women a True Legacy fight sort of set sort of setup and so as we exit this
fifth round it’s just you know it was almost that that thing of like Valentina shipchenko had this wrapped up right
like she she very much it felt like she was about to win this fight and then she made the same mistake more or less that
she made in the in the last one gives up her back again and it’s just like oh my God this is happening again there’s no
way we can actually be seeing this play out again goes to the scorecards I had it three two Grasso as I said
and then it just you hear the split draw takes a second to process it like okay this fight felt like it could have been
a draw right because I think 48 47 chefchenko is a completely defensible scorecard if that would if she would
have ended up winning the belt I would have had absolutely no problem with it whatsoever and so okay if you want to
call this fight a draw like I can I can sort of get there with you but then it’s just again it’s what you
said it’s it’s the method by which we got there that almost makes this
it ruins what what to me was one of the best flyweight title fights that we’ve seen in maybe ever at least certainly in
a long time for the women’s division right like that was such a great fight that was such a great fight I was on riding such a high afterwards and then
right now I just don’t know how to feel and I’m reminded of I think it was like 2013. I’m I’ve been in this a bit so
I’ve seen some of these fights 2013 when Mark hunt and and Bigfoot Silva just
went to Absolute war in Australia just absolute chaos type of fight
pure scenes and then at the end a few of the judges gave the final round of 10-8 to Mark hunt just to sort of end up at a
draw even though it wasn’t a 10-8 it was like Hey this fight was so much fun it feels like it should be a draw we were
just gonna figure out a way to make it a draw and it’s like that’s cool that was fine in that moment is a very low stakes
heavyweight fight it wasn’t for a title or anything like that I can accept it in that moment
this one though man I don’t know I I don’t know normalize that normalize that
Shaheen what I’m hearing from you right now is not um it’s you just trying to work your way
process and what you need you need to get to the end result which is if we didn’t know what rounds were scored if
they just gave us the scores at the end we’d all be fine so let’s just let’s just live in that world I don’t need
uh you know like when I get a bill I don’t go and look through line by line the items I don’t got time for that
they’re going to charge me to charge me and whatever it’s all I’m concerned think about doing
that when you get a bill not necessary because I I that’s not how I choose to
live my life I don’t get caught up in the minutia of things Shane I’m here about the end result and the end
result’s fine we should all be happy with it I’m let me tell you I’m probably
more happy with that than if Valentina like wins the belt and then this discourse for the next three weeks or
however long is well did she really deserve to win because I didn’t think she did I scored it three to two I gave
dueling 10 8 in rounds two and three but I thought crossover should have retained either way the answer is these two women
will be fighting a third time and now you know we just have this to talk about tonight it’s a great outcome we should
all be very happy with the draw we are just too reflexively against draws in this sport because it feels you know uh
like Ted lasso said I but but I don’t think that’s something I disagree because I’m not against straws I kind of
again I kind of I tweeted it in the moment like I felt pretty good about the draw like that was a pretty good result
ultimately if you’re gonna throw it up in the air and it seemed like everyone was kind of like ah this could go either way like I can accept the draw in that
moment especially because it like if you just put it on the ether of hey there was a 10-8 somewhere you could bring
back a lot of results right you scored two different ten eights I think there were multiple rounds there where you if you felt like throwing a 10-8 out and
it’s not the craziest thing in the world it just wasn’t round five where Valentino shipchenko won half the round
and then Alex aggresso one half the round that’s not a ten she won she won more than half the round she won
65 of the round I’m not a math guy I don’t don’t trust me on that but you know three minutes and 30 seconds of the
round she won I see some comments saying where’s the PO where’s the press conference see the
beauty of tonight is and the beauty of of this show and you see the little duck in the corner as uh we could do both at
the same time we figure out a way to do it so if you want to tell people yeah get you a website they can do both I
don’t like to tell you to leave what I’m doing to go do something else but at least we’re going from one thing on our website to the other so if you want to
watch post by press conference uh you can go ahead and do that you can do that right now or you could stay here and
join us and guess what you could watch it later it’s all there for you all the the options are plenty and Jed
it’s amazing to me that you have found are you the new Prince of positivity
you found a silver lining in all this feels like you found a silver lining and all this and I think it’s a good one I
think it’s a good welcome for me this is this almost I can’t lose this pretty
much guarantees we’re gonna get a third fight because I think you have to do it now and this fight was awesome like
their first fight wasn’t that fun um like it was very high stakes intense this fight was really tense down the
stretch like heading into that fifth round when you know it scorecards were sort of all over the place and even more
so than we knew apparently um and you know it felt to me and I think largely what you know and turned
out actually to be true that kind of win the fifth you’re gonna end up winning this fight um and so like it was just it just built
and there were big epic moments you know in the first fight really there was the moment the finishing moment which was
this uh you know crescendoing experience and uh I was on the wrong end of that
and I was very sad about it this one there there were swings and there was back and forth and I’m live blogging and
after round two when when Grosso drops her and then kind of puts it on her for a lot of the rest of the round and
shevchenko Dives in a double and just holds on for dear life from top position like I’m writing in man I don’t she
didn’t look great in the corner that’s a really bad round is is this the moment when time is just caught her by she just
got dropped blah blah she needs my exact words orchenko needs a really big something to happen in the third to
change this and then she immediately gets that in the third she comes out and has her best round of the fight uh gets
that Guillotine that gets um extremely close to my opinion not for the whole part of it but there was certainly a
time when when she’s immediately rolling to mount where it’s like that’s bad and then she has back control for you
know two and a half three minutes or whatever and that’s I know that we had this argument at the beginning of the year I’m sorry if you if someone’s on
your back for three minutes you lose the round and in my opinion you use their own by it today measure because that’s
all defense all the time baby and so there there were Ebbs and flows in the fourth round was super competitive and
then the fifth shivchenko has pulled away it’s just like out of sort of nowhere her her best round for a lot of
it was that third round she was moving the best the jab just couldn’t miss uh Grosso didn’t really have answers and
then shivchenko does the dumbest thing possible and goes to a move that his cost her fights before and it all like I
thought it cost her I wrote at the end I was like she heaved a belt she was winning this fight she was going to win the fifth round and she just threw it
out the window and Alexa crosses where in the Alexa crossover error and then this happened and
I feel like it’s pretty close to the right outcome I don’t think either woman like truly asserted themselves much more
than the other over the totality of the fight if I’m picking one I do think Grosso should have won so I’m very I’m
happy in that regard shouldn’t lose the belt and we get to do this all again and it’s a great matchup it’s a great fight
and I’m I’m fine with it because also we’ll talk about this more later but
Aaron blanchfield versus Man all four that’s gonna be fun and then we’ll have like a no doubt about it here’s our path
to a title there’s no ifs ands or buts it’s very clean so I’m okay with this it was a good night man
because sure she doesn’t get her title shot neither is Aaron blanchfield but you said this when we were in pre-show
judge now she gets to fight Aaron blanchfield which is not a great consolation prize from maybe where you
thought you were headed plus she didn’t screw up like chefchenko’s a big loser but she went for that dumb ass head and
arm throw so that she’s at fault for that my knowledge just minding her own business beating the women that they
keep putting in front of her and now it’s like hey sorry about that Whammy
I will have to say too if we’re just trying to print some positivity to this there is one other positive outcome to
this that I’m now deeply intrigued in because Mike you sort of alluded to it when we were setting this up of Valentino was a very different Valentina
this week and maybe the lead up uh than she has been in a long time she was very intense very focused a lot of the
interviews looked like um interrogation scenes to use a a word a phrase from our own slack room
who was deeply intrigued by sort of the the Valentine we were getting in this and now she’s only gonna be more pissed
off because now there’s two fights in a row where she feels probably like in both instances she was the better
fighter and yet she didn’t win either of them so the lead up to the third fight she’s going to just be carrying around a
pistol and going to shoot somebody more or less like I can’t I can’t fathom the level of a frustration she’s gonna be
throughout the lead up to the next one because there is going to be a next one like let’s not kid ourselves right at this point right like she is the
greatest champion this division has ever seen there I think there’s a real case she could have won this fight even if I didn’t score it for her
the whole way that this fifth round was the decider this is gonna be a third fight and she’s just gonna be the most
salty person in the lead up to it and I’m super here for it she’s gonna have a freaking Mohawk it’s
gonna be incredible she’s gonna do something wacky with the hair she’s gonna be a whole different person and
for a UFC schedule especially on the back end of 2023 that is kind of unknown
we kind of we might have another option here if we need to throw in a title fight maybe not as a main event but as a
co-main for December like if we can’t get O’Malley on there you can Chuck this one in there as the co-main event to
Sean maybe Sean Strickland versus DDP or whatever ends up being the main event of December because we don’t know so this
is just another additional fight that we can add to the equation unless you want to wait till January and do in Toronto but it doesn’t really seem to make sense
to do it in Toronto again though it is almost not like a
fast turnaround but it’s quick three months yeah yeah but I mean like if if they want to
take any time at all that’s three months to get right back I mean that’s I always it’s just they took a difference
amount of damage in this fight it might take him a bit Yeah but it’s generous in Toronto yeah February will probably be
in like Australia again so maybe March in Vegas we do it again do it in Australia it’s fine who cares
it does kind of feel like we have the makings here of essentially what happened on the men’s side of Flyway
right where we have this weird Trilogy with Moreno and figuerado that ends
yeah yeah like if they this ends up being one one we kind of have to figure it out at that
point right like Aaron blanchfield is going to be fuming just beating poor women senseless and
just looking like I would murder them just let me Adam please coach let me in
oh man of this whole division right man let me tell you there are very few things I want to see more uh than and
again we’re talking to the number one Valentina chefchenko Stanton for like a decade at this point I just desperately
want to see her try a head and arm toss airplane field and see how bad that goes for her because Valentine has a lot of
abilities but the moment someone gets like on top of her she is cooked every
second Grasso has been on top she has been just obliterating this poor woman so uh Aaron
I’m sorry you’re the champion in my heart give it some time
look we’re gonna go back to all this because we’re going to be joined by someone in a little while who actually
stands he’s okay with the 10 8 and round five stands by it says it’s okay
and we’re gonna bring that man in to to for him to share his wisdom with all of you in a matter of months before you do
that uh call me an event another very very close fight Shaheen Jack Della
madalena versus Kevin Holland super close fight could have gone either way I
saw somebody score at 30-27 for Holland that is an awful scorecard so maybe not put that out there in the public eye
anymore but uh 2928 either way is okay but JDM gets the win Shaheen did uh did
the judges get this right did you score for JDM and what did you think of his performance especially considering how
people kind of viewed him after his most recent fight where he went to another Split Decision with the newcomer and
some people thought he lost that fight yeah I mean I did score for him I scored a 2-1 form 29-28 it was a good win for
him I think it is one of those fights where you look at the statistics and maybe the statistics don’t tell the whole tale but they certainly tell a
little bit of the tale right and I think one thing I mean we were talking about it amongst ourselves the Optics of the
game plan with which Kevin Holland approached this fight with it was he was going to have to fight more or less a
perfect fight to get that decision just because when that is sort of the approach you’re taking uh fighting that
defensively and also just sort of turning your back and running and doing a lot of the shoulder rolling things that he was doing it’s just not easy for
the judges to pick that up in real time and just optically they will always tend to go uh favor
man who was marching forward the man who they view as sort of being the aggressor and also I mean it was just you know he
kicks and all of the stuff that Kevin was barking and Landing I just don’t know that that goes a long way with a
lot of the judges so it’s a tough fight man that could that’s another one could have gone either way but I did have that 29-28 and it’s a good bounce back for
JDM though I do wonder if the last two have maybe slowed this role a little bit
because it felt like we were getting hot and heavy with with the JDM is going to be a future Champion talk pretty hard
after his first few UFC fights and I think now maybe it is a moment to settle down on that like he’s certainly someone
who’s going to matter in this division certainly and he has a long way to go he has a long future ahead of him but I
think this was a good indication that you know hey like let’s take some time here this isn’t something we need to rush
Jed you you were very hard on JDM you questioned his fight IQ were you are you back on track here did
did he show you enough to be a little bit easier on him here after this performance or you still have
questions I’m gonna still have questions but this is exactly the performance you want to see from him this was a super
disciplined fight from him um which you know I think a lot of people guessed and you could have
guessed uh that he you know he got an earful from his coaches at the end because they were telling him during the
fight stopped doing this dumb man um and so you know he went back to the well and again very very disciplined
performance he clearly had stuff that he had worked on and was trained trying to do and then trying to figure out this
fight in a way that best benefited his skills um with Shaheen I think um Kevin
Hans approach to this fight was uh both good and bad it was good in that it was a really competitive fight and I think
there is an argument that he won the fight but I was really confident we were talking on the slack uh that the judges
would not score this fight I scored it for JDM uh and I think the way that Kevin Holland was fighting was not
conducive to success for most people because the Optics are pretty poor um Luke Thomas this week uh on one of his
shows was taught talking about uh Sean Strickland in the Philly show and uh it’s really great go listen to Tim
talking about it but one of the things that really stood out to me particularly in the context of this fight is
Strickland’s Philly show like caused a ton of problems defensively for Israel dysonia and we saw the same for Holland
but the primary difference between those two and the way they employed them is Strickland’s Philly shell was used
almost entirely moving forward and um one that’s like pretty rare and two
that still gave him the initiative in most of the exchanges to Perry slide slip and and get off a one-two get back
at him whereas Hollins was almost exclusively moving backwards and so instead it just created more
opportunities for JDM to continue throwing combination that is something JDM has always been really good at and
we’ll keep doing if you are close enough to hit he will keep punching you until you are no longer close enough to hit or
you’re unconscious and so even though Holland was blocking like a lot of that like those combos that happened that’s
just it just looks like a dude is teeing off on you and you’re trying to cover up and
run away and and that’s not the same as Strickland doing that against dizzy basically so
um I thought it was really disciplined performance from JDM uh really good performance still have tons of questions
um and I will say that you know the the Basel fight tempered me on my expectations for him but this is still a
dude who’s gonna hang around at the top 10 of this weight class for years to come and honestly outside of the
Tactical choices that I disagree with from Kevin Holland very solid fight from him still looks good like he’s this guy
who can still make noise in Walter again the welterweight division um just might want to rethink some of
how he’s approaching some fights sometimes because it does appear that every couple of times he gets caught up in something that’s
probably not the best way to go about fighting like you probably shouldn’t try and do a kickboxing match with Stephen Thompson for four rounds and just get
battered around the head probably could have gone to more takedowns or had more aggressive game plan against JDM here
but you know fun fight yeah in discipline it seems like is is
the imperative word the key word that you kept using right because I think that was a very legitimate very
legitimate questions that were being asked regarded JDM after that last one right where it was a very puzzling fight
IQ that we saw from him in that half his fight very puzzling decisions throughout the fight and that was a that was one of
those takeaways coming from that of like is this who this guy is or was this just a weird circumstance with a short notice
opponent for a guy who cut weight twice in two weeks I’m willing I was willing to give him a mole again after that last
one of this potentially being a weird circumstance and what we saw tonight I think is a good return to form for like okay yeah like that was that seemed to
be an aberration comparatively with what we saw tonight of what was a very intelligent fight from Jackie three
names as far as bonuses go uh all the finishers got bonuses all of them so
good on that hey finish bonuses finish bonuses we’re all Roshes Jr who we’re going to talk about in a moment
Daniel zellhuber uh loopy godinez Roman copy love and Charlie Campbell who
channeled The Rock and kind of made DC look a little silly but DC with a great comeback I thought he did a great job in
that moment as well uh real quick before we bring in our special guest and take some questions uh Raul Rose is JR Jen
michoud in the featured spot this is perfect matchmaking Jed was it not I mean this is this is tremendous
because you need to come back you need to come back in a big way got to show his hands
he got a knockout win it’s only the second of his career usually he’s just going out in sub and dudes and boy did
he have a great dance partner and Terence Mitchell who just the perfect guy to get him over I think Terence
Mitchell should have a job with the UFC for the rest of his life as long as he wants to continue fighting I think Terence Mitchell has a apartment in
place in this company because of what he did tonight and what he could do for guys like Raul Roche Jr or anybody else
who gets into the octagon with him Jed what did you think of that fight I think about six years ago maybe I
wrote in um you know I formally did Miss fist with AK Lee before I was unceremoniously
thrown out of that um Endeavor but at the time I we were talking about something I think it was like a Bellator
prelim and I don’t remember who but um that this per whoever it was just got
their doors blown off in spectacular fashion um and I wrote a thing that I’ve come to
believe is one of my great offerings to the MMA world and that’s look being a good fighter is all well and good and
you you want to have many of those if you’re a promotion but what you really want to have you want to have stars
Conor McGregor stars and then right after that you want to have people who
lose in in good fashion you don’t want to have tough outs who are gonna like
have boring fights you want to have guys who you can call in and get smashed and
you know and look I I don’t care how disrespectful this is to Terrence Mitchell I am sure he is a lovely young
man and I hope the best for him and his family but anyone with two working eyeballs and the ability to actually
read could have looked at his topology and said I know where this is going and it has
nothing I mean yes the betting line could have clued you in but you look at his career is Alaska Fighting
Championship honestly a really enjoyable promotion I don’t know if they still do they used to have events on Fight Pass
it was very funny to watch them all the time enjoyable not good all of it’s an Alaska
Fighting Championship he gets called into tough for the Tournament of Champions loses to Kai conference in 30
seconds the first like here’s a prospect 30 seconds blows his doors off goes back
to Alaska fights in Alaska again gets pulled in and gets eight no Cameron Simon super Prospect gets his doors
blown off in 30 seconds your the point is to have this man fight somebody
you’re trying to get over a young talented Prospect and I’m not sure how
talented Raul Rosas Jr is we can get into that in a little bit but he was obviously going to do this the whole
time and that is a skill set you should pay for if you’re the UFC just have this
dude come in every six months to fight the next young dude who you want to get a big win on Mexican you know
Independence Day Noche UFC event or whatever the next one of those they’re doing he should have a job forever
someone’s saying we’re overselling a win for railroads Junior we’re not we’re oh I’m overselling we’re overselling
Terence as as being a valuable commodity here exactly because I have in my notes of this um all people are way too high
on our roses Jr coming off of this like I saw a lot of comments after this being like wow I was like you guys remember he
was a minus 800 favorite and we all knew this was gonna happen and like sure credit to doing the thing that you’re
supposed to do but like maybe pump the brakes on that a bit but yeah this has nothing to do with raw roses this is
everything to do with Terrence Mitchell and his unique set of skills which are extremely valuable
what did you think of Raul Russia Jr Shaheen go ahead yeah I will I will give the 18 year old who did something pretty
well on a big stage some credit because I certainly couldn’t have done anything remotely like that at age 18 right I
continue to be like I understand Terence missile Terence Mitchell is Terence Mitchell like we’re not going to
oversell what this was but the Poise showed by that man that that teenager is continually impressive to me
because he is doing the all of this on a stage where most 18 year olds like I couldn’t even tell you never mind I’m
not gonna I was gonna say I was doing some weird at age 18 as we all were right like come on man what
were you doing at age 18 I couldn’t have been answering I couldn’t have been answering all these questions from the
media and being the sole focus of the week and like all this stuff because like we’ve we all sort of see the metrics we see the views like people are
very interested in real roses Jr any content revolving around this kid does well his scrum usually does the best of
the group like like whatever this is people are invested in this kid’s journey and he is still just the kid and
so for him to continually be able to not only handle that with a level of a plum that is pretty damn impressive if we’re
just being honest with ourselves but show out on moments like this where yeah it was he was a fight where he was designed to show out but but either way
he still did it and that to me like that was that kid that was a violent 18 year old I saw tonight man that kid was
putting some aggression out in that fight like that was that was some frustration of having all these adults
just asking him questions about why did you lose for a good six months or however long it’s been I was impressed
by it man like that we’re not gonna oversell We’re Not Gonna over hype it we’re not gonna say what it was say it was something that it wasn’t this is
still someone who was very very very very very very far from becoming the finished product that he will be and
very far from becoming a person who matters in this division in terms of contention but I don’t know man if you
if you can get an 18 year old out there who can put on a performance like that in front of the world I’m impressed by it
just how the world’s going these days Sheen it’s all going to be children it’s all children in every sport now you know
it’s just it they’re better prepared for this so look it was great I’m not here to downplay his thing just like
we can find a happier medium than this do you match this dude up while he’s guaranteed to be big star and a champion
like I don’t know people were pumped about Sage Northcutt and but here we are with sage North Dakota
yeah but what was sage northcut like 22 23 I feel like there’s a big difference
I there’s I I feel like if there’s a big difference if that is less in the favor
of the 18 year old obviously like he might wake up tomorrow and just not want
to do I’ve said this long time like he probably won’t probably won’t keep fighting but he’s 18. like I might wake
up and be like I want to be a race car driver or I always try and do that he can do anything that’s what being 18 is
so I I just want to see him keep fighting keep winning and you know if every once in a while you throw him a
can to crush and he gets to do this and it’s great then that’s fine but you know just don’t need to say this guy’s a future
star because no no just keep performing because I also have no idea
he’s the thing he’s definitely an Intrigue I don’t know how much of that Intrigue is sustainable once he is no
longer 18 year old Earl Rose’s junior or 19 year old or I was supposed to Junior because it feels weird to be like 20 year old roses Junior you know I don’t
know is there just I I want to be clear if he’s really good for a long time I’m
keeping up the bit 35 years old like that’s we’re just gonna do that but you
know I I think a lot of it at least at this point feels to me a bit um you know gaussian oh he’s 18 years
old I want to look at this and I don’t know if that keeps up as that no longer becomes true but it’s a good performance
a great bounce back and great hat I would say with Habib out of the game that Sombrero is top two hats
in in MMA right now this is good um ultimately this night was ultimately
not even with this fight just this whole tonight was built around either the fights are really competitive
or they’re squashes that’s it like that’s what this card has built for me there’s only like what did we say Jen
outside of the main event the co-main event and the
great that fight was awesome when they probably got a fight of the night
but every what every single favorite was like minus 250 or above something in
that neighborhood yeah and the one fight I thought was mislined was the one that the dog cashed and it was Kyle Nelson I
thought him being uh plus 250 or whatever he was or plus 200 was I thought that line should have been was a
little too wide but this is kept me from a perfect Kyle Nelson dude yeah it was a
fun night this this I loved that the UFC did this in an execution it played out in a really cool and fun way where this
felt big this was more or less just a fight night right is a Fight Night type of card with a really really really good
Main Event right like this is a championship fight underneath just what is essentially an apex card but the way
they designed it the production around it just all of the little features with it and everything that sort of went into
it to make it special all we ask for every single week is for the UFC to make things feel special we we see your
financial reports we understand that you guys are making billions of dollars like it’s ridiculous the amount of money that
this Corporation is making to reinvest it into the sport in a way that A Night Like This free for everybody more or
less like free with a subscription obviously but free title fight really cool setup
Squatch matches Galore but it was a great crowd they were super fired up this felt like a big fight night this
felt more or less it had a pay-per-view type of vibe to be able to give us something like that on you know ESPN
plus I love that man I hope that they do more in of this I hope that they see how much all of us enjoyed this and lean
farther into it and we can get Regional variants like this just cars that are sort of specialized in this way and feel
different than UFC Apex 4000 where we’re seeing you know the same people fight
over and over again in front of nobody like this this is this is cool this was different and all I all I ever asked for
the UFC is cool and different yeah this is fun I loved uh the ceremonials being outside the mariachi
band like everything about it was just cool like more fun more fun give us more fun we’ll all be very happy
um if we’re not if we’re not doing a Bastille Day card next July with all the Pomp and Circumstance what the hell are
we even doing here you know like it’s a great point go go to nice you don’t have to do it in
Paris if that’s you know too hard as you know they are celebrating just come on make it happen guys this is great it’s
wonderful it’s really fun time it all worked out um you know
I had a great time tonight and I don’t care about that I had a great time I was really really enjoyable I had a great
time even though I had a great time Mike Bell yes uh apparently Valentina
goes at the press conference uh just ripping my bell and judges in general so I feel about the fuel turn
how did we feel about the heel turn because I mean look she’s a salty she’s planting seeds dude he’s playing the
seats for the next fight look I get it um I don’t think that’s the pure explanation of in a fair and just world
I am the winner like that was just she just straight up was like the I think
the judges felt pressured because of Mexican Independence Day and that’s why this happened
by the coward sitting in the judge’s chairs tonight basically what
she said they would hear their reactions yeah so I missed an incredible heel
promo I missed it and I was watching I had the um the captions on so you’re
gonna say yeah all I saw was like oh it’s Mexican Independence Day and I was like oh she shouting out the day and
then I went then I went back and rewounded and I was like oh now I understand why the crowd was like what
the f what the hell was that like that was completely out of nowhere she is not one of the worst anyone’s she
is not here for your my and their and I am I I kind of appreciate it frankly like that
takes incredible balls to just go up there and say that the thing is I appreciate it I can’t
think of one that was more like do you want to infuriate a good amount of
people watching this like I cannot think of another fight that was more designed to maybe Colby in Brazil
that’s fair yeah speaking her truth of I was robbed by the cowards and the
judge’s chairs who didn’t want to cause a riot and I just wish whatever I wish
you would have specifically pointed just founded them and pointed to them and been like you guys you need to explain
the time [Music] it’s gonna be the best she just goes and
finds Mike Bell and just stands over him and she’s like tell me now puts a microphone in his face and forces him to
give an explanation at least that’d be a change that would be nice yeah that wouldn’t be it would be a better job
than anyone else has ever done with these judges what an incredible job These Guys these people have really to
where you can you can be doing something so deeply important to so many people something that’s meaningfully impacts so
many different people’s lives and you could just be so flippant with it where it’s like hey you know this doesn’t
really make sense but it feels fun and it’s gonna lead to some cool talk talking points for people I’m gonna do
it and then I’m just gonna walk out and no one will ever get to ask me any questions about it ever and there will
be zero accountability and then it’s just we all move on what a cool thing I wish I had that level of
non-accountability for my job it’d be great Shaheen think about what you just said
that’s why I’m okay with what Mike Bell did because you know that I would do exactly the same thing the whole time if
I was in that position I would just do whatever I wanted because it felt right so I get it Mike Bell I understand where
you’re coming from buddy I see you no one else does I get you I think we
have set up a perfect transition here because we’re we’re talking about speaking truths and saying what you feel
and being your true self so at this point it’s time for me and the man who’s been patiently waiting
um since we began he’s been sitting in the The Green Room the virtual Green Room this is a man who’s actually defending
Mike Bell he’s defending Mike Bell there he is right there he’s defending
he’s defending the 10-8 fifth round he said and I quote I got no issue with it
I have no issue with it I can see a 10-8 fifth round so
Casey Lyden producer extraordinaire uh gets to sit in The Coho seat today please explain yourself to the people
have you been talked out of this take at all because you we almost done
during these days actually I think the only person that scored this fight correctly was Judd
Michelle nailed it nailed it that’s right this is another this is what you said
earlier it is not what I said but uh Jay did make a good point I’m right uh round
three was the rounds of deep the round the round three is around the Deep Gilly right that was around three yeah and the
extended back control take it back okay I just really I want to remind people we
at home have a better view of the fight than the actual judges do that’s very we don’t know where the judges are so
deeply hard to judge a fight at a fight it it really is it really is very dumb it’s it’s kind of silly
this is true yeah if if you’ve ever had a chance to if you get an opportunity to
sit cage die for a major fight you’ll realize this go oh I think this guy’s
winning um and I guess I’ll have to watch it at home dude be confident because you don’t you just don’t know when you’re there
and I’m going to assume Mike Bell from his angle
thought that joke was just talking about round five was just in super super super super super duper deep and
that’s why he gave it a 10-8 birth and the guillotine attempt in the back Mount
or whatever um in round three he just didn’t feel quite made the 10-8 uh to
jump from 10 9 to 10-8 and this goes back to a bigger issue why I hate the 10 points scoring system because how can
round one be the score the same way as round five around three but that’s a larger stupider issue that will never
get resolved but all I’m saying is I think it’s justifiable uh I didn’t score I didn’t score around
um five a ten eight I did score the fight for Grosso uh overall but um
I think the right person quote unquote still won so that’s kind of nobody nobody didn’t
lose all right right exactly the right person didn’t lose right rather
um yeah okay I meant admittedly as soon as it started we were off air I was I went a little harder in the paint I
really did yeah well I was kind of shocked yeah you guys came after me hard too you’re going
but um you were digging it well at least at least okay so the point we were making and by
the way I was emotional that’s why we get it we all work Jed real quick for those who don’t know
how did you score the fight just so we can we can go back to this I scored the fight uh 47-46 for Grosso um it is
another of many instances where I am the only person with the correct scorecard I never made decisions
um if you could I don’t know if they let you search like my name there but you’re gonna find a whole Litany of those
because I’m doing it right and everyone else isn’t uh I gave rounds two and rounds three ten eighths uh dueling 10 8
I gave around two eight ten eight for Lexa Grosso because under the rules I am absolutely within my rights to give her
that round um based on how scoring criteria works and I think that that round had substantially more impact and dominance
uh that led to an effect that was tangible and so scored that a 10-8 similarly I think the third round where
shevchenko got the very tight Guillotine uh and then spent three minutes in back control which is an asymmetrical
position that Alexa Grosso had no answer for and no offense I felt that that was enough dominance and duration to Warrant
the 10-8 round uh I am actually at least somewhat on board I think that it is not
entirely unreasonable to score around five eight ten eight I think it is unreasonable to score that at 10 8 and
not score 2 or three as those were more clearly dominant rounds I could be talked into it why I didn’t
give that a 10 8 is because up until the first three minutes and 30 seconds of that round were pretty clearly uh
chefchenko dummy Grosso for large portions of that with the jab and so I
just went 10-9 but I I thought Grasso probably won three rounds and
that’s that’s why I’m like fine with what happened I don’t think she should have lost her belt it wouldn’t have been the worst scorecard ever if she did but
I think she did enough had enough big moments in that fight to deserve to retain
that’s why this is also don’t like all of this is so dumb because there are so many defensible easily explainable ways
we could have reached sort of the result we reached round 2108 is super defensible I think there’s a very clear
case for that round 3108 is also very defensible the whole thing is just
that’s the thing Shaheen the I I’ve come around on the 10-8 scoring system in MMA
it’s very fraught and super complicated thing um and I think it’s not the best but I
think it can be ported over fine the problem is creating a system that is for
a large portion of its history is too restrictive on 10-8 rounds and that’s
dumb because boxing is three minute rounds which is substantially different than five minutes and boxing has a very
clear structure of how rounds get weighted more a fighter gets dropped that round goes down and that like and
that actually works in this in the whole combination of the system of boxing because hey that guy got dropped if you
got dropped it it was clearly real and thus it deserves more weight it’s much it’s much more fluid and now this like
well let’s bring some ambiguity into when it should be it should just be pretty clear like hey if this fighter
did substantially more of something than the other then that’s a 10-8 round and just add more of them in and this it’s
so much cleaner holistically and it’s really frustrating well so so I have a
question for all y’all and then I have two statements that are that are separate question Pride rules which are
the ultimate rules the king’s rules the the rules of the greats who won
Mexico for sure
I hate Pride rules they’re dumb look here’s the big problem
with pride rules is that Pride rules say that it’s like who won the fight as a whole but that just functionally is who
won the last three minutes and looked like they were winning that is super not how Stuff played out
it largely translates out but I think under either term Grosso won but yes
Grosso won the fight uh yeah
Grosso won the fight schoolyard rules yeah who do you want to be who would you have rather been at the end of the fight
who that’s sort of where I always do it too quick aside I would I would still rather be chefchenko because Grosso has
a cut and stitches uh suck and I don’t think shifchenko was cut but you know
took like 20 knees at the head trying to play and that was yeah so that was one
of my first things the two sides I have one who’s the reference
I hope you had a great night great night perfect refereeing by Herb Dean and I love that that’s the rule now because
those knees were sick in round four that was monstrous I I hope we see more of
that because you saw Valentina like trying to play the game and Herb just being like nah you got a deal like you
put yourself in this position yeah it was killer man I love that the aggression like the instinct to do that
it’s tremendous what’s up oh I just want to be like I’m so I’m with you one I thought that was
brilliant from Grosso I hate the world we live in because
like what is shivchenko because sitting there and like trying to play
the game and feeling like she is getting hard done by because it’s not working for her and it shouldn’t but also
um the rules aren’t unified and so in some places where they fight you can play the game and it’s so dumb to have
this like one very dumb rule
of why all of this is dumb there are no there’s no basis of there’s no like
Baseline for any of this a lot of these people just doing stuff and then being like it’s all Calvin ball
my big takeaway though from that moment was first damn sure’s getting beat in
the head right now that that probably sucks she should stop letting that happen and then immediately it was not
great I was like you know it was just man um why is there any ambiguity about this
why can’t we all just decide what is fine to when it’s fine to need people in the head and when it’s not so
she would have done something better instead of playing the game so that was just a frustrating moment but good on likes aggresso because that was some of
her best offense yeah and that that’s maybe the second aside that I just wanted to say here which is
I am truly truly impressed at this point with who Alexa Grosso has become
because I I’ll be honest I did not see this coming right like the the evolution
of what she has sort of achieved with this final form she showed tonight that the first fight
was clearly no fluke and she also showed that like results or not whether she got the win or not flyweight Alexa Grosso is
very much for real and that is a staggering fact considering that like four years ago basically to the day more
or less four years ago she was two and three over her last five and she lost the fight to Carla to make it to put
herself on that slump like she looked like someone who I mean obviously entering from Invicta there was a lot of
hype around her and Al Donna it was just this idea of like hey these two Mexican Fighters these two Mexican women are going to come into here they look killer
and Invicta and they’re gonna come take the OC by storm and it super did not happen at the for a large chunk of Alexa
Grasso’s career and this moved to 125 is why I is you know we don’t we don’t talk
about often but like I’m so glad that UFC ultimately instituted this division because the 115 to 135 Gap there was
just too much there and so much talent now has found their way at 125. Alexa Grosso looks incredible man she looked
like a world beater tonight she looked like a champion tonight and for her to become this all-around just demon where
she’s throwing out these knees the jab was working all the groundwork where like you said Jed earlier when she was
getting on top of Valentina she was just tearing her apart and the heart that she continually shows in all of these fights
you saw in the first fight coming from behind to get the to get the choke when nobody thought to get the submission when nobody thought she could get the
submission tonight fighting out of the guillotine pulling it out in these final few rounds
even pulling the 10-8 in the round five whether you agree like the heart the heart that she shows out there man
combined with the skill set and the talent of what she has truly become frankly incredible because I super did
not see this coming and I was still a little bit doubt I still doubted it a little bit after that first one because it was somewhat of a I
wouldn’t say flukey but it was one of those things of just like is this for real and no questions this is obviously
is this a safe space is this are we in we in the circle of trust oh boy
I still have some doubts um not about her not not about her heart or toughness or anything like this but
like I mean there were look again I scored this fight for her I thought she won and
there were parts of what happened tonight that was just tremendous there were also parts of it that were really
bad like she’s fighting Valentina man she is and that’s why this was like a
really fun but interesting fight like I’m yes Fountain shipchenko one of the greatest of all time like a terrific
fighter crossover simply couldn’t work around a jab like she was she had could not figure out how to work around this
jab and that’s other people who are smarter than this than I am are going to
go into deeper about this this week because I don’t know all the answers but it is so evident that like just fighting
Val and Sh in Southpaw like totally jacked her up like that first round for
like the two minutes when when Grosso was in Orthodox and chefchenko’s whipping the body kick in her offenses
in Rhythm and she’s looking really strong to start as soon as it switched back it was just like oh all I can do is
jab like that’s the only thing she could do to a fellow Southpaw and that and
then Grosso couldn’t even figure out a way around like there were some I would say problems the whole thing is great
like the outcome the heart what she showed her grappling but like I don’t know
you choked her out the first fight every second you were in in dominant position in this fight you were smothering the
life out of her maybe go to a takedown before the last minute of the final round of the fight and see if that works
for you like uh she was Finding success in various aspects of the strike she did and that’s
the thing I feel like you’re dealing with the underrating what we’ve seen her do twice now to one of the greatest
female fighters in the history of sports I don’t think I’m underrating I think it’s just a weird thing where she has
had really great moments in these fights she’s also a pretty bad moments in the in these fights the it those it’s hard
to pin it down but the Ebbs and flows of this fight felt more to me like uh the
opposite woman’s failure than the successful woman’s successes if that makes sense it’s not that it’s not that
simple though it’s not like she’s fighting you or I in there she’s fighting someone who’s so complex and so tricky and so dangerous like it’s I
don’t think it’s nearly as simple as you’re making it now to be a lot of people have lost fights because they can’t figure out how to get around a jab
that feels like a very gross sort of uh minimalization of of what we’re watching
I mean but you know she’s gonna have a job and you spent ostensibly this whole Camp preparing and you still struggled
so hard with it that but foreign
it is but if if Val doesn’t go for the most bone-headed throw um in recent
memory probably the most um heaved of a move since Chris Weidman did a spinning attack on uh Luke
rockhold the entire narrative is we’re talking about the first fight or this fight this fight this fight this is the
first fight okay yeah because she doesn’t think that makes Crazy mistakes and fights I don’t
that’s the thing is I don’t think in the first fight that’s a mistake Valentina shipchenko went for a spinning back kick it’s a weapon for her that was Grosso
being drilled and timed on on a trigger and motioning on it that’s nothing but upside for her at this fight real quick
no she didn’t she didn’t spin at all except for that one time when she wasn’t spinning she was trying a head in arm
throw which is idiotic and but if that doesn’t happen then this whole fight is wow down the stretch Grosso ran out of
answers and you know we are talking a lot about but it’s like when the answer was just the jab like
your only answer was to go to Southpaw and that took a lot of of her things away but how why weren’t you mixing
things up a little more effectively I like I said I’m not saying she’s a bad fighter I think she’s the best flyweight
in the world that’s not named Aaron blanchfield but I still just have questions about like the whole piece of
her game at this point because there are there are weaknesses like she is not a
champion who is bulletproof there are flaws and that makes her really compelling but I still have questions
well we shall see and we’ll we shall see where she will go from here uh we’ll
take some questions here about some different things uh first one we kind of touched on this but shahino start with
you was this draw the best outcome for everyone and I don’t think it’s the best outcome for everyone but Valentina could
do anything but knowing her she’ll demand a third fight or will fight an Eliminator uh best outcome for everyone
here before you answer that Shane real quick I did a poll who do you think won the fight on our of
our uh listeners right now 46 for Grasso
45 for chef jenko and the rest being draw so right now
and if you look at MMA decisions it’s incredible the fan basically is split 50
50 between Ross and Chip jenko uh with the media and the fans themselves
47.8 had Grosso 47.8 head chefchenko the rest being a
draw this fight is the closest I’ve ever seen between media and fans it’s actually very incredible yeah
we’ll get that out there before we go on and that’s what I go back to just I like the result a lot actually ultimately I
just don’t like the process the process of how we got here is infuriating
yeah if this is just a 10-8 round two super different conversation who scored
the fifth round I’m curious who scored the fifth round for algerman Sterling against Henry sahuda was it Mike was
that Mike Bell too oh I can look real quick I’m curious I don’t know if it was but
I’m just I’m I’m throwing that out because that was the other like super weird one where like
in a in a world where the fifth round was scored appropriately like Henry sahudos the ban away champion and not
John O’Malley what event was that no Michael Michael Bell scored uh it was
Derek Cleary that’s the word very Cleary okay but Michael Bell was also judging that
card and he scored the fifth round for sehudo so um yes which is the right call
yeah Michael Bell think about it think about it
usually a good judge I guess yeah yeah he’s good this is why I just I really
wish I could there was some level of I’ve already explained it I would love to hear from him
I’m so certain that this was a I I made an oopsie and so she’s gonna get an
eight because that will correct my oopsie it’s like I’m so certain that’s what happened here honestly
um it is what it is all things considered I just can’t get over the fact that four years ago this woman was
two and three in the last five and really looks like it was just not going to become this and then now she’s we’re
having legitimate conversations about her kind of beating Valentina twice in a row like that’s what what happened I
think that’s a great Point Jean because I I don’t think a lot of people saw this coming the the Improvement she has made
I still do have questions but she’s come astonishingly far in the last few years absolutely we say that by Grosso but it
sounds like we could be saying the same thing about I mean I don’t talk about Strickland is out of signing too much but I mean
I was like is it almost the same like I could not see him being champ like just like you were saying about grossa I
cannot see Grosso being champ even though we’re kind of saying a couple years ago with Strickland we were saying it last week yeah but we did this we did
this after Strickland where like you look through his resume it’s not that bad there’s never a stretch where he’s
two with three over five and you’re kind of wondering whether he’s he belongs in this sort of conversation like he was losing to the guys you’d think you’d
lose to an Usman you know those type of things but like yeah I don’t know I
don’t I don’t know that it’s comparable but it’s certainly like it should it’s another example which of which we see many you can’t judge these people these
Fighters before when they’re Midway through their career right give up on them way too soon or push him way too
fast you know so that that’s the beauty of everything Colorado wins it in double
overtime by the way guys
squeaking one out over Colorado State and double OT I don’t know anyone who’s in Colorado so
I’m good all right did Colorado State go for a hand in arm did Colorado State go for a head and arm throw no they got put
on like fourth and ten um and that they just couldn’t get there so um their defense was awful in
overtime but you know all right so what an impossible
we’ll keep on rolling here uh we this is a very interesting night because we had a judge in the main event that wasn’t
great uh Herb Dean Hokey Pokey her was actually uh did a really good job in the
main event I thought he was fantastic uh we had some hair pretty good we had some hair pulling we had some hair pulling in
the Jasmine Jazz divisius Tracy Cortez fight and that only made that much better wasn’t called props Jason Herzog
for letting that thing go but not all the refereeing was great tonight um
Edgar chayres versus Daniel lucerda can we break it down will Edgar Cyrus be
successful in his appeal so for those who don’t know oh yeah yeah or foreign
who is Owen four in the UFC with four stoppage losses went in there with Edgar Cyrus and they
had a fight Edgar puts in a gilly looks kind of tight and then he
readjusts and then looks real tight and Chris tyony I mean the dude pulled out a
monocle and was this close to looking at things that’s how close he was he had his monocle on and everything
but unfortunately the monocle was just on the arm of one Daniel acerta but nothing else
and at first as I’m watching this I’m like oh this is the right call because lucerito’s arm just goes completely limp
and as soon as it does Chris coyote jumps right in and stops the fight and Daniel cerda is pissed he immediately
protests it they go to replay Chris tyony when they come back from break says I was wrong I screwed that up
apologize to Daniel lucera who for a moment was Owen five in the UFC with
five stoppage losses was in the history books and then it gets overturned to a no decision and as we reported on
mafine.com add your chyirez is appealing this and wants to get his win so that is
kind of the breakdown of this so Shaheen what four or five hours later what do you make of this and does Edgar Cyrus
have any chance of being successful with this appeal uh B no he has zero chance there’s this
is absolutely not going to work I hate to spoil it for him but there’s zero chance that he’s going to what like what
are you expecting to get out of this a win because you’re not gonna get a win it’s already a no contest they can’t
just run it back they should have been able to just run it back in the cage it’s very dumb that’s interesting in the
fight from the offending position but but to answer your first question I almost just want to go to Casey because Casey felt very very strongly about this
in the moment oh yeah go ahead he might have mellowed since yeah Casey tonight he was very
much facing out while I was talking I could tell right there yeah yeah Chris aioni he screwed up and they just he
okay the big thing we say the arm went limp first of all I didn’t go limp because if you look at the replay he
never actually checks his arm if his limp he literally uh limb it appears good but he was stuck in
the eating he just puts his arm down it and if you notice uh uh grassa did
pretty much the same thing but she was on her back she was looking at anything and she goes oh wait never mind I’m just gonna relax
doesn’t bring gravity into play which is a problem and like what I kept saying about uh taione if he’s going limp what
happened to his legs his legs did not go limp think of the Jon Jones machine thing like when when Machida went out
his legs went out and he fell down so somehow this guy is only his arm goes left and his legs were still holding him
underneath this I’m not Christianity he’s a he’s a professional wreck he just
made a mistake he just made a mistake and they fixed it thankfully and it sucks it sucks for Edgar Charis it sucks
it just sucks because he was most likely on his way to winning that fight maybe
not that submission but he was going to win the fight eventually yeah
I think he was going to win with that submission he might have readjust for the he might
have to readjust this Mission but the position he was in right then yeah he was not getting this mission right then but he could have been adjusted for it
but maybe not now on the other side Daniel losardo may or may not have
already broken the UFC record for most UFC appearances without a win making
I don’t I’m sure there’s some weird stuff that I can no no he’s there are there are one two three four five uh
Fighters uh the wonderful AK Lee actually pulled this together this week who uh are oh and five in the UFC
um with including no contest so he joins that illustrious Group which includes people like Pat Healy Shane I know you
stand to post to that one thoroughly disagree with that I watched that hilly beat Sean Soriano I don’t care how high
he was during that Jesse Ronson um I’m sorry uh if we don’t follow the
rules we live with the animal Shaheen and he broke them John Alessio also owned five so he does join a very elite
group of people um and since he probably gets another shot maybe he’s the first one to go on
six so there’s that um that is on the table now I think that’s so we did something like
this not that long ago and I said the same thing like it’s an unfortunate circumstance I don’t blame Toyota that
much um I don’t think he was like perfect operations but uh can you grab his freaking arm and lift it he didn’t grab
his arm yeah it also would have been like a little
knocked out like there’s not a crazy sense of immediate urgency there so that’s part of that like that’s my only
real thing it’s like it’s a it’s a blood choke like you’re fine if he goes out like you can hold it for another second
or two but um like ultimately I totally get why I did it uh because it it looked
like he went to sleep like he probably should have checked the arm but it was like a little awkward against the cage and that may have been tougher
um and it looked like his arm does just drop and it’s something similar half of Robbie Lawler been asking it’s not a
great circumstance but he owned up to it and that’s really all you can ask you know roughing’s hard mistakes are going
to get made and it’s hard yes it’s like it’s really tough sometimes things are going to happen it’s unfortunate
um but you know they did the best they could with the thing and then the rest of the conversation is like you guys mentioned ways to make this better hey
we can just restart this fight like that’d be okay um figure out how to do solve things like this in ways that don’t adversely
affect the fighter when they happen because you put on a thousand fights a year a couple of them are going to get wonky that’s just the law of numbers
how about Edgar Gyros what a year that man has had he was in a submission he
was part of a winning submission hold that went on way too long for Fury FC uh that almost killed a freaking dude and
like ripped the dude’s arm apart yeah um it’s pinned to my Twitter if you guys haven’t seen that or anything about it
uh did a whole breakdown of that Edgar was a part of that fight gets signed to the UFC next steps in on short notice on
a pay-per-view has fun fight and now he’s on the end of like a submission that was stopped too short and now he’s
appealing it’s been a year for that dude holy
it was and it was a legit one of the best Regional fights I’ve ever seen too so uh yeah so that guy’s back on his
horse though yeah crazy and uh since you brought up since you brought up one young Johnny Vasquez uh I spoke with the
man last week about that win and about everything going on with his fight against Texas so uh stay tuned for that
just trying to squeeze out a a time frame to to get that out and figure out how a way to put that out to you a
little follow-up to the big story from earlier uh I forgot Mike Bell also gave uh a 30-24 score card earlier today for
the first fight of the night in Knutson I didn’t hate that one at all I thought those are all tennis
hey remember yeah that was a 30 24 and then one ref gave it a one judge I gave
it a 30-27. so we should anticipated we’re gonna have some 10-8 tomfoolery by
the main event yeah but these were like these were like okay anytime you turn a TV on to watch fist fight Monica that’s
the thing actually I thought we were going to have 10 8 Tom Foley I just didn’t think uh Grasso won
the or I thought I thought Grosso won the fourth and so I thought it was going to be a 48-47 scorecard for her and then
when it did I was like okay I guess some people in our slack had said that ship Shanker won it and that was like okay I guess Grosso got round two and they gave
Chevy the fourth and then it was like round five interesting okay
yes I’m actually um it was round four who what who how did
you score round four was that a close round round four okay one judge extremely competitive but I
thought the need meaning the knee sold it to me yeah and
he’s the knees were the difference for me in that round I scored it for Chef jenko the knees made it closer a closer conversation but
I still gave it shipshin go to the judges also gave it to shipchenko um I believe Mike Bell is one of those
judges if memory serves you correctly no he was yeah yes
you watch a football game and they don’t call the the you know face mask penalty that results in a touchdown next time
they get down the field they let the o-line get away with like an egregious hold happens all the time he just did it
in a very public setting on ESPN plus it’s okay see you Mike Mel is fine mix
martial arts is a sports that’s how it is [Music]
yes please can we briefly before we go I don’t know if we’re answering more questions
um all right we’ll do one more maybe these
questions maybe these questions will be what I was going to say so let’s let’s find out well I wanted to bring this up because I
thought Tracy Cortez was one of the stars of the show tonight um the only girl that beat Aaron
blanchfield I don’t know if you actually watched that fight but
it looks good on the Wikipedia it sure does uh and she looked good tonight
it yes uh she only girls who beat Aaron blanchfield uh and look good tonight versus a surging Jasmine Jazz division
while coming off of a long layoff uh is she a top Contender if she can fight
with regularity and that’s something you and I talked about Casey on the people’s pre-fight show uh and this is something Shaheen that I thought was very
interesting coming from Tracy Cortez saying hey I know you guys haven’t seen me for a while
I got heart for days and guess what I’m gonna come for that belt not in three
years not in four years next year I’m gonna be the champion she plans on being active and getting to the belt so
thoughts on Tracy’s performance after the long layoff and her saying hey I’m
chasing the belt next year so be ready for me I thought it was a very impressive
performance I hope she’s telling the truth about the activity level because this is somebody who been UFC five years
now and it’s literally for one fight a year like she we’ve not seen her twice in a single year that throughout her
time and I’ve been impressed man I feel like her Evolution you can just see it like she has grown leaves and Bounds
since who she debuted as coming off Invicta but I don’t know man I just I hope that she can find the level of
activity that she needs to sort of become someone who matters in this position because I she she reminds me of a similarly of sort of how Arnold Allen
took a really long time to become a contender in the featherweight division because he was just kind of fighting
once a year against the Rando and then you wouldn’t remember it because he’d be gone so long and then all of a sudden
there he is again fighting against a rando and he’d win and all the and you look at it it’s Arnold Allen is like 5-0
in the UFC but he’s not mentioned at all when we talk about people who matter in that Division and then he was able to
find consistency and fight a little bit more often and now he is who you know he’s that guy I hope that Tracy Cortez
can make that make that push because I’m really intrigued to see who she can become especially because man I know
that it may feel like something just to be said to the or that something that
people would just throw out of what she was dealing with dealing with Henry sahuto’s sister tragically passing away
yesterday but that is very meaningful like the suhudo family has been very important to Tracy as if you sort of
look at her backstory and her history like they’ve that is I when she calls her her big sister I believe her like
they’ve been very important to sort of getting her where she is and and bringing her through some really tough
times and for for so who for Henry sudo’s sister to pass away yesterday and
to be able to push through that and have a performance like this today on a really big stage like this not fighting
for more than a year that’s impressive man just emotionally like as a human to be able to push through those emotions
and perform I was super impressed great fight great performance uh Jad I’m gonna bring up a
different name for you loopy godinez uh you went on no bets bar and you predicted she would get a win
inside the distance I think there was a moment in that fight where you were like um maybe she won’t get it inside the
distance but man she peppered that face and then like immediately like after the
last punch landed she was already she already had a poor Elise read up in the sky somehow she punched her in the face
and still lifted her up in the air and slammed her to the ground all in one motion it was incredible uh Lupi godinez
what did you think of her performance tonight how high are you on her after this showing at 115 pounds
um one let’s just start with Lupe godinez’s dope two I need to put you guys in the correct mind frame of the
day I’ve been having because I hadn’t been uh it’s it’s been around wake up this morning I’m very excited Atlanta
United game into my armies in town um this guy named Leo Messi plays her into Miami uh it’s gonna be great we’re
gonna have a fun time the family came in we’re gonna go see it oh what’s that oh Lionel Messi is not um even in Atlanta
didn’t even fly up to wave at people while he sits on the sidelines tough beat particularly when you look at the
retail value of those tickets uh go have a good time anyway except for that
game’s going on the same time I beloved Georgia Bulldogs South Carolina in town supposed to Wampum or like 20 point
favorites 14-3 for South Carolina at half not not enough The Vibes all day were
off and then I get home I’m watching this fight I’ve got a loopy inside the distance she breaks the woman’s arm I don’t
understand um that was ridiculous man it’s I just don’t understand the the r
the arm angles um is that what MMA angles are because I heard it was 90 degrees to her elbow
like I don’t like I remember um when I used to train like like you
know not everybody can you can’t break everybody’s arm you know some people are just really bendable and I never like
came across a person that was super that way uh and I guess at least read is I don’t get it and then she almost she
like finished her anyway and I was like this is just gonna be a day of awful beats and then even even up until the
finish I was terrified because she is lamping her Against the Cage killing her and then she goes for the takedown and
one credit to loopy she’s got some high amplitude tosses when she gets in on you she can she can chuck a woman in the air
uh like few others in this weight class but I was concerned totally fine in the end
she just rolls over uh I don’t know what her ceiling is because you know she suffered some losses but when she’s on
she’s game to give anybody a damn good fight um and she’s just one of the most fun
fighters to watch you know in the strawweight division right now she’s just gas so uh terrific performance
um against you know Elise Reed who’s competent but I wouldn’t say like a great Fighter um yeah it was awesome really really fun
and then Casey real quick uh who impressed you the most tonight Daniel zellhuber
Roman copuloff or Charlie Campbell there’s a right answer Casey there’s a
right answer you pick the right answer Casey uh I wasn’t gonna say loopy but of those choices
um I’m gonna go um can I go Heber no is that the right hand oh what was your answer
right it’s definitely one Zell Huber had the cool the Anaconda was awesome though
like that was yes it’s dope but also zellkuber looks like a middleweight fighting a lightweight so
like you gotta docking points for that and I like delhiwer and um rib Roasters baby couple off with the with the
burners like oh oh the answer will always be body shot KO for me I have I have long arms so I’m
very when I saw the Anaconda off off after stuffing the takedown getting the headlock and then going for the Anaconda
it’s just so beautiful it made my heart excuse me I was just like yes
those long arms to punch that dude in the body work the body
yeah that that liver shot that liver roasting was very beautiful also not a
great violence tonight can I just ask all you we can close all this
four in a row now loses his first U2 in the UFC kind of didn’t look super great in them and now all of a sudden four in
a row knockouts how for real do we think this is dude look pretty good man
I feel a little bit Vindicated I feel a little Vindicated with this one uh we’ll
talk more about this on on some next one tomorrow because I think we’re gonna automatically bump Roman up to uh to an
official pick uh for the main car because I think he frankly deserves it but after that second loss everybody had given up on
the man oh he’s one fight away from getting cut you know who didn’t you know who used him as a wild card even coming off of a loss because I believed in him
so much this guy right here this dude right here and he’s paying it off for me
he’s paid it off for me four straight finishes dude’s good dude’s real real good
um I I can’t look at him okay it’s just Chase Hooper on the juice that’s the
thing he just he was like Eli like what actually he needs a reason to the cage yeah so who actually won
this fight is this a win for Chris Curtis or Anthony Hernandez since these guys both replace those two guys I
don’t remember how we tracked this down in the pre-show um because this was an easier one I think Cynthia calvillo lost
tonight if I’m remembering uh the the main car the the first fight of the night opener but I could be wrong
um I don’t know uh you know what I’ll get with the mathologists and we’ll figure out who who were the end Slayer
winners and losers um in the thesis’s ship of this fight event because coffee was supposed to play Hernandez so
technically it’s Chris Curtis then I guess so uh but she came to your point
to your point um one it’s five time world combat Champion
um and uh if you look at the history of world combat Champions uh we do pretty well the UFC it’s headed me
pretty well particularly multiple time world champions um they
it’s very strong base for mixed martial arts odd to lose to the dudes that he lost to at the same time look great but
also like tough to know how good because Josh friend
Hill Soriano like these are guys who are not bad
Fighters by any stretch but like that’s a pretty clear tier of guy at middleweight and not a top tier of guy
so um I don’t know but I mean it’s on a great run I think he’s gonna get a shot at top 15 guy next so
um that’ll be the one where we can really determine but five times five times five time world combat
champion yeah do we just give him either Chris Curtis or Anthony Hernandez whoever’s
ready first yes I think that I think that’s totally fine um I agree I like that like it’s good
let’s see if you can get past a boost
you know what happens [Laughter]
I do want to ask one thing I just want us to take and appreciate how lucky we
are because I’ve been following this sport for 20 years I think I think this is my 20th
year of fandom um maybe it’s one less or one more give or take
I think I think here September 17th at 2 40. I’m I’m willing
to call it stop the fight match is over this is the funniest year in history I don’t I do not think a collection of
funnier outcomes have happened and we still have like the whole back stretch of the year
I mean Sean O’Malley winning Sean Strickland winning the this fight ending in a draw
like that is a series of heaters right down not to mention at the beginning of
the year we got the whole light heavyweight whatever that was in a ranch here’s our
new title fight and then by the summer the guy they crowned Champion blows his Achilles Aaron Rodgers’s himself out of
the company for the next nine months he says he’s vacating the belt he’s sitting in a sombrero cage side for this and
they’re still calling him the champion despite the fact that I believe they are working on a title fight between Alex
Ferreira and Yuri brashka this is they didn’t even get his freaking year of all time they didn’t even put the press
release out before they took Yuri out of the title before they officially strip yuria the belt but yeah you actually
forgot the funniest part of the whole year is that the fact that Chandler Connor is
not actually happening yeah
a year of his career away with the whole Bellator pfl stuff is hilarious Francis
is Gonna Knock Out uh Tyson Fury at this rate this is the funniest year I’ve had
so much fun there have been so many post shows where I’ve just been like this is incredible and hilarious and it’s I mean
even Grasso beating chefchenko the way she did and me taking that L is funny as hell like this has just been a chef’s
kiss year for humor I love this sport so much I love what you’re saying
[Music] that would be 20th year no no keep the music music I
know it’s in the background just very slightly yeah
5000 happened in 2016. no that’s the funniest fight that’s the funniest that
makes the year the funniest that’s the goat fight that’s all it is no no that is the goat fight but this year has too
many other funny moments okay it’s best I’ve had so much fun this
year and I have so much fun sharing these moments in the aftermath with with all of you not just the men who are on
the screen here but all of you watching this program right now but we are done funniest outcomes that can happen for the rest of this year I mean Stevens
will make this the funniest joke this would be the fun I came up with the funniest one on a heck of a morning by
the way uh the funniest one would be they book Yuri versus Alex in December something happens with Alex and Sean
Strickland steps in on short notice because nobody else is available
that would be the funniest thing oh my God he would say yes
I thought of that now I kind of want that I kind of wanted to what a year I
think it’s the best all right but we’re done everybody thank you so much for Shaheen for Jed for Casey I am Mike Keck
uh next week they’re back at the hallowed Apex that’s just how you want to follow up an event like this three events in a row baby
bro we have a hell of a main event next week we have matush gamra versus Raphael
faziv which is just gonna kick ass we get Danny gay versus Bryce Mitchell not a bad one not a bad one but we are back
at the Apex so thank you very much uh on to the next one tomorrow I may are on Monday it’s gonna be fun thank you all
very much good night everybody love y’all Sean Strickland two division
chair two divisions what I think it’s funnier if he fights Alex Pereira for the light heavyweight title

Summary:

In this article, we will be discussing the highlights of the Thursday Night Live Show with co-host JohnnyKpicks. The show covered various topics related to the upcoming UFC fights, including the highly anticipated match between Valentina Shevchenko and Alexa Grasso. Let’s dive into the details!

Valentina Shevchenko vs. Alexa Grasso

The hosts started the discussion by talking about the upcoming fight between Valentina Shevchenko and Alexa Grasso. JohnnyKpicks expressed his belief that Shevchenko would win the fight, while the other host had a different opinion. They debated the factors that could influence the outcome, such as age and skill level.

JohnnyKpicks argued that Shevchenko’s experience and well-rounded skills would give her the edge in the fight. He also mentioned that Shevchenko had been on a winning streak before her recent loss, which motivated her to come back stronger. However, the other host believed that Grasso had a chance to win the fight. He pointed out that Grasso had shown improvement in her grappling skills and had the potential to surprise Shevchenko.

The hosts also discussed the age factor and its impact on the fight. JohnnyKpicks mentioned that age shouldn’t be a determining factor in this fight, as Shevchenko had proven herself to be a dominant fighter despite being in her mid-30s. However, the other host believed that age could play a role in Shevchenko’s performance and that she might not be able to hold on to the title for much longer.

They also touched upon the UFC’s preference for younger champions and the potential impact it could have on the fight. While JohnnyKpicks believed that the UFC didn’t care about the age of the champion and that it would be a win-win situation for either fighter, the other host thought that the UFC might favor a younger champion to promote the sport in certain regions.

The hosts then discussed the decline in Shevchenko’s performance in her recent fights. While JohnnyKpicks acknowledged that there had been a slight decline, he still believed that she had what it takes to beat Grasso. He also praised Grasso for her performance in her previous fight and acknowledged that she had the potential to win.

The discussion continued with the hosts mentioning other fighters in the flyweight division and their potential to challenge Shevchenko. They also talked about the upcoming Bellator fights and the talent in that promotion.

In conclusion, the hosts had differing opinions on the outcome of the Shevchenko vs. Grasso fight. While JohnnyKpicks believed that Shevchenko would come out on top, the other host thought that Grasso had a chance to win. They discussed various factors such as age, skill level, and the UFC’s preference for younger champions. Overall, it was an engaging discussion that highlighted the excitement surrounding the upcoming fight.

how I missed that I didn’t even see it lit up but thank you so much donation man um it’s awesome uh you don’t have to
do it but we really really appreciate it man and um yeah man save money on that card on uh
what are the UFC’s like 80 bucks now yeah terrible James and Amy what is up hi
guys joining you from work today Strickland was easy money he really was it really was I had to under I wish you
would have knocked him out in the first round like he was real close to stopping him too like so close like dude I had
three unders on the last card all three of them had knocked down and uh almost like a fight ending sequence in the
first round of all of them and then I’m just like watching the rest like oh my God but James appreciate you hanging out
and um watching watching what you can from work man that’s awesome I bet she cleaned up on Strickland that was that
was easy money but 400 or more yeah when it’s a tight fight can’t pick a winner I
like betting on uh the over rounds or no not going the distance yep I love that
too but on this man you can’t even uh you can’t even um mines are crazy yeah
even though over under bro I guarantee there’s like what three or four under 1.5s that are like minus 200 or more for
dudes like I could think of at least three off the top of my head right now under one and a half sir two minus 200
or more there’s one that’s almost minus 300 for the under oh
yeah they need to start putting together some good fights instead of just like yeah because it’s more of these are just
like one-sided it but dude I was literally gonna put in
something on Twitter saying here’s my Bellator parlay of the week and just do it right I was gonna do that it legit is
dude it really it is it really is it’s every week and but like I said like some of these people like you Padilla he’s
good but like I gotta see more out of him like he knocked out Juicy J but um like uh foreign
by putting guys at minus 400 so you’re like [ __ ] I can’t just straight bet him I got a part of a and like they want you
to do that but um not that confident on them to be honest not at all like I just need to see more
because Kyle Nelson’s experience and he ain’t really junking we’ll get we’ll get to that one yeah that one I’m telling
you telling you I made it if just in time I think you made it just on time
pick them we really appreciate you coming oh he said I am tired of this card it will be a great night of fights
yup 100 man it’s gonna be a good um it starts a little a little later which is
cool c-dub well ESPN plus yearly cost um yeah somewhat yeah it’s like yeah
like five bucks a month
what’s up Jaden what is going on he said what’s good crazy Strickland shocked the
world he really did yeah you did I’m happy he won to be honest like I lost money I I I had a winning or a losing
night because of him but hey
but like I said I had the under four and a half but you could tell kind of like after the first round it really wasn’t
going to go under but it was still just shocking seeing that I do like the over as well I’m looking at that
minus 140 it’s not too bad minus one and a half yep pink over under
so hard to get value on this car but these juice faves really should win anyone else have a third of their bets
on multi-leg parlays and happy birthday Pink Floyd too I believe it was yesterday the birthday bro happy
birthday if you know me and follow me on Twitter you know I’m I have at least half of my bets are parlays and then
this is the card for it to be honest um I have to pay or Fight Pass yeah I do too or yeah I
pay for Fight Pass freaking ESPN okay so is this one on just straight ESPN then is that why it’s free yeah I think it’s
on regular yes oh okay I have ESPN plus I I just watch it on there so that’s a chainco curse bro she’s getting it she’s
like she’s got the EA class too baby don’t worry about that they Madden this
ain’t Madden Curse [ __ ] no we’re past we’re past the eight minute Mark Cody
the first fight that I have for it is Josephine marnick Man vs Josephine
Newton Knutson um you can set this one yeah um I like Josephine here to win I know
both ladies are making their UFC debuts and they’re actually both making their debuts kind of on short notice I believe
man is making hers on more of a short notice because a lot of fights this card have been like fizzled out or people got
heard or withdrew this and that and they’ve been switching around a lot early on but um I like Josephine a lot I
think she’s got uh she’s got very good at striking she’s a solid Grappler she’s more so a kickboxer though she looked
really good on her Dana White Contender series and I I was actually kind of shocked that she didn’t get a contract I
know she didn’t get a finish but she dominated that fight the whole time and I mean for strawweight women like
there’s not really like a lot of finishing people out there so I mean she
looked really good she showed some grappling she showed very good striking toughness and she won and I thought she
should have deserved a contract but anyways Mary McMahon I mean she’s solid too but I just don’t think she’s on the
level of uh Josephine right now so I’m gonna get say Josephine wins this one
probably by decision and I’m kind of shocked I’m looking at the over two and a half and I think it’s
around like minus 160 180 and um I think that’s actually a pretty good bet both these girls I know man has like three or
four finishes but they’re in like in first three fights of her career against really low people they’ve all they’ve
only fought low-level people but um Josephine should be able she’s tough and but she only has one finish in her
career too so I mean I love the over in this if you don’t want to pay that minus 500 uh money line because she should win
probably 30 27 so I think it’ll be by decision yeah um
yeah I like uh uh Josephine striking man she’s got like a tiny kick of kickboxing and Muay Thai experience she looks super
physically strong has really good combinations good lead leg senior kick uh the Isis girl in the face right off
the bat really strong clinch and then she has pretty decent like offensive and defensive grappling and pretty decent
BJJ off her back for sweeps and to get up um Mark McMahon decent wrestling her
striking doesn’t seem all that great she doesn’t seem all that comfortable on her feet but she’s pretty good wrestling pretty good top game um I don’t think
she’s that dangerous on the ground as far as in submissions or anything like that she’s got a decent grounding him but um yeah overall I just think that uh
she she’s gonna she wants to wrestle get you know hold the girls down beat him up a little bit and I don’t think she’s gonna be able to do that in this fight
like she’s going to be like Josephine uh Newton uh isn’t all that big but she’s
gonna actually be bigger than her in this fight I think Josephine uh three inches yeah Newton or Newton whatever is
going to actually she can land some takedowns I watched Martin get taken down in on her last fight and then she
got she lost the first round came back and won the second uh second and third but it was against the girl that was like seven and five or seven and six you
know um give me Newton and I kind of like that under too man I really think that
she can you like the under I like the over well just because um the fact that I think that if she can
keep it standing I think that she could beat the hell out of marnik because like the last girl she almost finished that Isis Vander vent verbique or whatever
and that girl was like a world like a Muay Thai and a kickboxer yeah she was very tired of that by yeah yeah yeah and
I don’t think that morning man’s near as tough as the Isis girl and if she can’t get this fight to the ground um I think
she’s gonna take a beating so I was I was looking at that under I couldn’t bring myself to bet it but um can’t
blame anybody that did but this is a bad price yeah uh pick up MMA so she thinks she
can find a stoppage on the feeder I tend to agree with that yeah I mean I mean thinking about it now in our dating like
a tennis series fight like you said that girl was super tough I don’t remember her name yeah she probably like any normal
fighter like she probably would touch the finish out of uh yeah plus
124 right now the under the over is minus 160.
so more money is coming in on the under so I thought I had that wrote down
but yeah yeah um as like with the bed I liked than that one but yeah uh Jaden said Josephine
looked crazy good on the Kentucky yeah she did I was shocked she didn’t get a contract
uh nutsified I met the unders at plus 155 I think new Newton should finish her
here I agree with that does that’s a good line man has horrible striking defense for me uh to go on yeah pink
said on Newton’s tape study is super fun happy she got in the UFC and even more happy she’s not facing the L asthma
lucindo that was going to be a crazy fight yes Carlos gotta go with uh newts
by decision no bet though on this lower level of women MMA fight yeah she’s minus 700 at my Casino or 600. let me
see where she’s at now 600 minus 600. yeah I think yeah um if you didn’t get a contract then
they don’t like Contender series because she didn’t finish I think she would look for the finish in this baby yeah that makes sense I mean she was close though
and she showed like a good overall game like to me like if you sh if you yeah I don’t
even want to get into it Dana messed up on Dana messed up on that one because I can go on about it because I just think
at that time he literally gave contracts to everybody and then this was the one I’m gonna be a stickler yeah it’s like
what that’s not that’s you gave other people a contracts that shouldn’t have got it yeah
like like you put two world-class kickboxer and Muay Thai girls against each other they’re both from Europe both
top the like what you thought one was gonna finish the other like they’re both good they’re both tough exactly uh my
two cents said bunny Lebowski AKA fun uh fun newts and by TK oh I like it I like
it she is really polish training with comz out in them um verbique is a glory okay sir yeah
both of them though both of them got kickboxing and Muay Thai experience though the contender girls
um dad’s file said I got the unders in loopy fight as well that’s a sneaky
under I don’t know I agree with that um man looks so stiff when she fought on
Dana White Contender series and then she fought on Regional can and LFA and lost the first round got taken down and
controlled herself you know uh yeah yeah more money coming in on the under a
bookie’s dream so they can pay out on the over 2.5 through that dirty roads minus 160 for
the over though oh yeah yeah pick up said yeah she should have been signed for sure Dana’s we’re especially
a girl fighter like that the other girl could probably come fight in UFC and put on some good fights yeah probably
yeah compared to it like what they got I mean definitely Martin she’s better than
Martin man I think the Isis for Beaker would be oh yeah man that could have just ran that fight back oh exactly next
fight another one in the women’s trolley division Lupita godinez versus Elise Reed I’m gonna start this one Lupita
godina’s very improved striking her boxing’s looking better she had decent kicks even um really boxed up Emily decody in her
last fight and looked decent against uh what Cambio and then um I’m no wrestling when
she uses it and really goes after she’s got really good wrestling she’s got a good body lock takedowns on the ground
she’s got good good transitions good ground and pound um we haven’t really seen no good
submissions out of her yet she almost submitted uh Ariana carnelosi a couple times almost grounded pounding her out
but she’s a black belt in Jiu Jitsu and actually was able to survive um then you got Elise Reed who’s a
Taekwondo background girl she’s got decent punches decent power in her punches decent head kicks like front leg
head kick that’s what she hit uh Melissa Martinez with dropped her and she’s got pretty good striking really good
striking you know but I just don’t think she has any ground game like her her takedown defense isn’t all that great and then her Jiu Jitsu isn’t all that
great you got um she was she was finished by uh Sam Hughes who doesn’t finish anybody you know what I mean and
that was later in the third round then she was finished by um Loma look boomi who doesn’t get
finished by or doesn’t finish anybody she’s a monster though yeah she’s a Muay Thai and she submitted
um I just see this fight going I actually think because like Lupita even in the fights that she didn’t get to take down
she at least attempted a couple and I think if she attempts a couple here she’s gonna be able to get read down and
then she’s going to be able to throw a beating on her man I think she does get her out of here and I was at the kiosk and I had that uh put in for the um
godina’s under I must bet that today at plus 165. but I think you gotta look like one like her last one
like 10 over the last 11 fights have gotten a decision though dude like she’s not finishing anybody and then not only
that but when I look for a under man I like both people to be finishers you know what I mean I don’t think that
Elise reads has any chance to finish at Lupi unless she hit her with some crazy head kick so but um give me Lupita
godina’s I do think she finishes at least read at least Reed’s been finished in all three of her losses I think it
continues here and kind of mad I didn’t bet that but who do you guys yeah I’m on Lupita loopy um she should
win this fight on paper she’s the better fighter overall I even like her striking a little bit better than Reed like uh
loopy shows some really good boxing crisp like straights right down the middle good Combos and everything but I
just want her to implement a freaking good game plan because it bothers the
hell out of me that she only does one thing or the other and like she just sticks to it she’ll try a couple
takedowns and if she doesn’t get she’s like all right I’m just gonna strike like no you gotta if if you’re if your
opponent can that stuff take downs and she just miraculously stuffed too then you need to keep going you need to keep
doing it because she’s a very good wrestler and and she’s becoming a very good Striker as well so now she needs to
put together all of this together and I want to see it in this fight um I don’t have any bets on this fight
but um I don’t mind the under I think if loopy does get the wrestling going and
she gets this on the ground I do think she’ll be able to get like a ground impound knockout or maybe a submission
because Rita has no idea what to do when she’s on her back at all she can’t get up and she doesn’t know what submission
defense is at all so but if loopy wants to make this a boxing fight
or a kickboxing fight that’s where Reed’s good at so not to say that Reed’s gonna win but it’s going to be a closer
fight so to me like I’m just going to stay away I do think she wins and she should dominate this fight but I just
have to see it in my mind in my eyes that loopy can put it all together and
have a good game plan coming into this fight and then execute it as well maybe if things don’t go too well I want to
see it because I’ve been burned a couple times by her because she’s been you know crazy not doing something so I think
loopy wins though I’m gonna say by decision because she just doesn’t finish people whether it’s on the ground or whether
it’s on the feet so but she should win dominantly 30-27 like clear decision
though definitely dude shout out to Mario’s for the super sticker foreign
five thousand or something like that this weekend bam something big yeah something real big maybe oh yeah it was
like that’s awesome so appreciate the donation appreciate it you win another seven Grand this weekend
um or five to seven yeah something big four thousand or seven thousand something like that so um that’s a lot
yeah dude that’s a whole lot of the matter four seven that’s a lot for me so much um and appreciate this donation
so much and I’m and more than that is just you coming out every single week and hanging out with us hell yeah commenting with us and um
damn this Show’s brought to you by Marriott at this point yeah keeping the lights on oh yeah pick them MMA he got
the W said uh Dennis what is up so let’s go Jess oh man appreciate you coming out
hanging out with us on your Thursday night um Mario I’ve said Cody and Johnny I did
crazy last week thank you for the uh for your expertise plus 50 I was right in
the middle of four thousand seven thousand 500 bucks oh yeah oh dude that
is a that’s a giant win that is a giant one I ever win that
but that’s shout out to Mario I was a man killed it 5500 last week that is
awesome uh Pete Freud said I smashed chalk on loopy she spent these last fights striking and improved a lot yep super
well-rounded he should win he should win pink she should predominantly and just showing the Striking and win a striking
match and then this doesn’t finish anybody that’s when I I would be so mad if I had a ticket on loopy if she came
out there and won the box I’m like I would just throw my ticket up in the air and be [ __ ] this yes and Mary I was
married I was awesome that is awesome go loopy by sub for John can happen it
could happen yep if loopy gets her down she can finish she will oh yeah I believe she will because because Reed
gives up and she runs out of gas uh Luke can’t even finish a dollar menu burrito from Taco Bell that’s true she does not
finish anybody she finished uh Gomez but that’s it with that arm bar everybody finishes Gomez with an arm bar
though yeah true that true that she doesn’t like the wrestle anymore it is weird yeah that’s the thing and that’s that’s
what I’m kind of scared about not to say she’s gonna lose but I lay in it Manuel Miguel what is up says
she only wrestles with her coach Wayne Queen that’s what it is yeah she can throw hands
she’s not awful but she gets real cocky and then like she like standing up
should we talk [ __ ] and all that and then when she gets taken down she’s like folds man nope oh Jason that sounds like
something I wouldn’t even get through I won by
um nice hat Johnny says uh any action well it is what it is
it’s a Chicago Bears if nobody knows what this is and the Chicago Bears are probably one of the worst NFL teams ever
and I’m I made some very poor choices in my childhood I’m a White Sox fan I’m a
Chicago Bears fan and they’re and they’re awful and I it hurts my heart to
watch them but I’m still rooting for them I’m 38 years old I’m not changing now been fan for 30 years or more
it’s just one of those things you can’t change but you gotta go and then right after like the good Chicago team so it’s
like I was one years old I was one year old when they won the Super Bowl last year it’s awful sense in baseball you
have Freight TT there for a little while well I’m glad the Sox won in 2005 because I was 21 years old and I could
remember it so at least I got that going for me but man they’ve been awful ever since that though yeah for sure John
hago said watch him from Sweden that’s awesome I want to visit there Iceland Sweden all that um

on that side of the world we’re gonna watch a UFC together and I really plan on ending up on that
I said [ __ ] I usually don’t win and even I won 110 on DraftKings let’s go that’s
a good win on DraftKings that’s a good win it’s hard I did one lineup on DraftKings with like whatever uh daily
fantasy or whatever and I I won like like double my money because I freaking picked Anton and they was the one that
ruined it remember I kept posting him like who’s gonna ruin this who’s gonna ruin it he freaking he ruined it yeah
for sure all right let’s get to this next fight Roman copy love versus Josh
Brown and I’m gonna let you start this one yeah uh I am all over Roman copy love here I think he is I don’t like the
I don’t like to use the word lock a lot but he is very close to that this is
this is like the very close to the L word of the of the car and I think he’s
gonna he’s he’s gonna destroy from from is okay but he’s not he’s he’s just okay
he’s like average everywhere and copy love is a very good Striker he’s got good power in his hands he’s got great
takedown defense uh frem doesn’t have a great wrestling to get copilob down and
then on the feet Prem does has no chance on the feet so I love copy love here I think he gets it done by knockout
eventually whether it’s going to be second round it could be first but I say second round maybe or early third round
um the only thing that I that could worry me is if friend somehow gasses him
out early on and then maybe he kind of falters a little bit but I don’t think that’s gonna happen because I think
friend is probably going to be the one gassing out first not Kobe lops so give me copy I’ll have to win second round
knockout I have him in a parlay I I think he’s literally probably the safest bet even even like the set in the minus
700s minus 600s I think this is the safest bet on the target
yeah man I agree with all that um Josh Brown just really ain’t that good you know he didn’t come from mixing martial
arts Jimmy picks yeah he’s just a big dude um decent kickboxing like he’s decent everywhere but not great anywhere
he’s not good wrestling he doesn’t have great Jiu Jitsu he doesn’t have great striking um I don’t think he’s gonna be able to
get copying off to the ground Capital has been training in Dagestan and he’s been looking really good with it like he
was beating the [ __ ] out of Puna Soriano he’s a state wrestler in Hawaii and he attempted a couple takedowns and
copyright’s hips looked excellent like I said he’s been he’s an excellent kickboxer that actually moved to
Dagestan the train there to get his wrestling and stuff better so I really like hopping off his striking’s
phenomenal dude Southpaw striking his jab is crazy yeah crazy leg kicks with with both legs
um crazy head kicks crazy left body kick it’s basically a giga kick man um the dude’s good and he’s he’s super
technical is is cardio he trains up in Dagestan like I said he’s like 6 000 feet up so his cardio is better take
down defense is good like Josh Bramley ain’t getting this fight to the ground he couldn’t take Jamie pick it down he was oh for three on eight thousand Jamie
Pickett um slowed down against Jamie Pickett didn’t even beat I know he missed wait but still you it doesn’t matter you
should destroy Jimmy Pickett yeah cop a lot man um he’s gonna be a lot faster than from striking slow as hell man he’s
he’s got bad defense like copy love can take frem down you know if he really wanted to he reversed Soriano and took
him down stopped to take down and then took him down but um yeah man uh I’m all over Capital off
here I actually put in my first max bet of five units 5.2 units doing two on Capital got him at minus 260. I ain’t
been parlaying but I’m like man I’m I’m I’ll pay the chalk on that because it was you know minus three something yet
but I just don’t think he’s good at minus 300 some because I just think he’s better than Josh Brown to ever say yeah
he’s minus everyone minus 310 right now and I still think that’s low I think he should be at least minus 400 at least
yeah for sure dude uh so yeah you got any bets on him
yeah I have him in a parlay um uh with someone coming up here and I
put about I put two units on that parlay I’m pretty confident in it yep yeah man um I think you can put them
with whoever on this one um but yeah everybody uh jumbo locals today guys sorry I’m late you’re good
man he said I’m at work but I couldn’t miss two weeks in a row so I’m here man and Grosso I like it yeah I think you
got marnick man is a big Underdog and grass was the underdog appreciate you sneaking off at work and or getting the
earbuds in just to listen to us jumbo Loco we really appreciate that dude for real and you’ve been coming out for years too so we love it everywhere Roman
loses I might disappear until the next year Roman should be minus 600. those are the facts yeah I agree those are the
facts how do you not submit pick it or at least don’t have a close fight with picking
and I was like this is crazy it’s Jamie Pickett yo Mikey my boy Mike Chef Mikey what is
up he said we have a we have 300 big ones on copy Loft that’s a ton for me oh yeah sure you got it dude we’re casting
over that’s Nike cash
unfortunately I am and they suck I know they’re awful but this is the hat that
is was chosen for this week uh pickum said his facial expressions never change
when he gets hit got a solid chin he does because uh Roberto cracked his ass dude he looked just fine yeah yep yep
he’s probably so he’s paraled he moved to minus 375 and then line movement break down to minus 320 I’m shocked yeah
some people I mean they must think that I’m just gonna wrestle him I’m not I’m not afraid to put more money down and
just do another parlay with copilov if he’s gonna stay around -300 but by the end of the week
Newton seemed pretty decent um yeah I know yeah easy love is definitely the play Daniel cover what is
up said yo yo what is up Daniel covert man appreciate you coming out hanging out with us again
um Jake Fagan said this card feels like it’s all about
um successfully identifying a couple of parlay bus dodged a lot landmines Mia has diggles in the house Mia has Giggles
what the heck is going on okay wait a couple of comments down why is she dragging on Johnny K
please yeah that’s that’s support I don’t see that
my girlfriend ever coming out here I mean and there’s nothing you know come
on man uh Pink Floyd said um with how Juiced
all the other lines are wise Ramen exactly because he’s actually fighting a UFC caliber dude
um I put 500 on the all Mexican parlay who’s all in all Mexican War a lot of them right right I literally
all of them yeah a couple that may lose though yeah that’ll pay out a lot though
um should be a fun car I appreciate you coming out Ryan as always the Highland decision I like where you’re at with

Chicago a little bit north of Chicago okay yeah you have to yeah I got five
straight bets man straight as they come you watch yourself Daniel Daniel it’s
easy um
impressive stuff I’m waiting for it to hit minus 300 then laying the bread now it gets back down to 260. mine is 310
right now I’m telling you it’s not the roll if you like some if you like a fighter throw a copy lab in there plus
money easy with any of them jumbo says I’m a restaurant manager so I can hide airpods
heck there you go heck yeah we do appreciate everybody like we get a couple people at work that have to speak
them in just to listen to us and do that that supports what’s awesome that keeps us doing the job doing this every single
week scared about assertive wedding definitely it’s a possibility minus 125 I like it Yep this should be
an easy one men’s lightweight Charlie Campbell vs Alex Reyes I’ll let you start this one yeah let me get there
real quick where are you sure um Charlie Campbell is making his UFC debut I know it’s going to be a little
bit on short notice but Alex Reyes is coming off of a six-year
layoff guys he hasn’t fought in six years I know there’s been some surgeries and uh injuries and stuff like that
um but this is a Charlie Campbell fight I don’t care either coming in a short notice
picking his UFC debut you cannot trust Alex Reyes one bit after six years away
you know in the first round he’s not gonna really he’s not gonna remember how
to fight until probably the third round that’s how long it’s gonna take for him to get back in the swing of things like
I don’t care if he’s been training for six years if you you have to get in there and actually do it Charlie
Campbell is actually very good he did kind of get a little too cocky and
aggressive and try to go for the kill against Chris Duncan in the Dana White Contender series but he’s very good very
clean striking very with power through with tons of volume um I mean obviously he’s a little
hittable but Reyes isn’t going to be able to knock him out I don’t think so he’s Reyes is 36 years old now
from what I’ve seen from him six years ago he is well-rounded but you you can’t
really go off of any of that because it’s that far off of what he used to be
so Carly Campbell is the pick he should get the knockout in the first or second round I mean it’s it’s almost a
no-brainer but I still like Kobe a lot better than Charlie Gamble yeah yeah I agree with all that man um
Charlie Campbell’s got some good hands dude this kid can box he’s a Sarah Longo guy he’s got pretty decent offensive
defensive wrestling and pretty good ground and pound and uh Jiu Jitsu from what I’ve seen good leg kicks and just
super fast hands KO power in both hands excellent um one two he’s got phenomenal
uppercuts he’s seen him cracking uh uh what was the dude’s name on the contender series before he got knocked
out by him oh Chris Duncan yeah Chris Duncan dude names are just not coming in my brain
right now okay um yeah with Chris Duncan um hitting him with all them uppercuts before he got knocked out and he’s just
looked good he’s at a good training camp um Alex Reyes his striking doesn’t look too bad he’s pretty I mean the stuff
we’ve seen six years ago like you know he kind of kind of quick striking decent striking
um you’ve seen him come out against Mike Perry’s last fight up a weight class on short notice and um get into a bra with
him for a little bit until he went to sleep from a knee but um he’s got good clinch knees himself and
he’s got fast hands he’s got decent wrestling offensive and defensive but he’s got pretty good Jiu Jitsu he’s got some uh pretty good amount of um
submissions and he’s finished or he’s got he’s got four submissions 9k always finished all 13 of his wins though so
he’s pretty dangerous both these dudes are dangerous that’s why the under is like probably the best bet on this but I like um I like Charlie Campbell and I
like Charlie Campbell by KO but I don’t know if it goes under one and a half dude this is so hard to find
to bet on because Alex Ray is 36 years old as it falls since he was 30 but could come in and still be pretty decent
we don’t fully know how good Charlotte Campbell is yet so like having money on this fight super tough I’m gonna say
Charlie Campbell gets it done inside the distance for stuff you were saying about dude being you know um as I fought in
six years it’s going to take him a little while to get into the fight and by then Charlie Campbell might have already ended the fight exactly so
um but it should be good while it lasts I really like the under on this so let’s see uh Danielson Josh friend will die
Jaden my boy says Charlie is a great fighter almost finished on Contender just got caught yeah I think he’s ready
to shine I do too I want to I want to see it and then um I have him get some more good fights in
the UFC I got Campbell by cannibalism the Lesser Reyes laughing Reyes Campbell
fight under 1.5 he might be the better Reyes he might be the the upper insurance after this afternoon
yep there you go I like the under though I like it but dude I’m traumatized with them under 1.5 now in them yes like I do
like the under one and a half in this too but I think I almost rather just do Charlie Campbell inside a distance it’s
gonna I’ll pay a little bit more but I’ll feel more confident okay Bunny’s Best Bets Edgar Roman

long time that’s really cool under 1.5 I love it when it’s on a fight where one guy is coming out exactly they used to
hit no more like you hit a couple times like uh the last one I took I remember like that was uh uh Bautista versus
Benito Lopez he came back took a beating my fresh back to retirement Donovan with
the donation man appreciate the fight come on dude that is awesome he said let’s [ __ ] go Saturday yeah man we’re

free one what is up silky B silky building appreciate you coming out hanging out man um
it’s I need to hit some good bets this weekend some good free ones what are the
um interception I’m thinking of football interception Campbell yeah inside a
distance props for Campbell I think he’s about minus 250 275 range but I haven’t seen it on
DraftKings I usually use DraftKings so they haven’t put out those yet but I see not in other places I’ll look real quick
I’ll tell you yeah um I like Campbell by KO to be honest his hands are so good
man that I really think that he can get him out of there and um with all the stuff like Johnny said about Reyes the
hand and took no real punches in a long time and all that dude another donation let’s go let’s go Dono height
hitting us with the five dollar donut I really appreciate it hell yeah really appreciate it and you just coming out
talking with us every week man um yep and that’s what we like that’s what we want we want people to come out
hang out with us and not not only that but we I know we’ve said it before but you got to hit one of us up in our DMS
and we’ll get you on one of the shows so Campbell
my KO is minus 235 it’s basically the my the under one and a half like it’s
basically the under so you have that extra I would like and a half rounds but then if he gets starched that’s why it’s
so tough something he’s gonna get a Dodge Cody come on let’s finish 13 all 13 of his wins he’s dangerous too he’s
got one minute to finish him yeah yeah yeah his kale props better
than the money line okay yeah Campbell bite I poke stoppage Eric oh God uh
Campbell by sub plus 850 does it got any other subs I know he trains a long going that he’s one of uh uh aljos main
training Partners Campbell let me see yeah he’s got zero sub wins
only chaos only putting hands on five KO wins yep
I think yeah minus 230 for a KO instead of paying the minus under or the under
one and a half it’s the same price right unless you really think Reyes has
a chance to win in a round and a half mind you
I can’t hate that at all yeah that’s free I think it’s free right
I don’t think I mean I don’t know if it’s free but it’s still oh it’s free it’s not like that three it’s not like that
last week that free money is dude I put that I put that out there too I was like what the [ __ ] is going on the DraftKings
know something that we don’t and clearly that’s crazy they did do you think you guys think let’s be
honest though do you think something was wrong with Izzy like do you think he had an injury there’s had to be something you don’t go for minus 700 and then to
make them plus 100 and then yeah I think that’s the one that’s the most perfect
bet they’ve had that DraftKings has ever put and it’s like they kind of knew I was like let’s take a little bit from
people so they don’t get too mad they just give them a 10 or 20 25 10 or 25 bucks tops I think someone said they had
a 50 Max bet like but most of them were tens and 25s yeah where’s uh matter of
fact okay I keep your Izzy bet let me get copy love at plus 25 or from plus
100 this week yeah please and thank you man so yeah it’s it’s uh it’s crazy
I don’t like doing those promos because I swear nine out of 10 times they lose like right like I swear to God every
time yup cam oh dirty Red’s a Campbell versus Reyes fight Stars round two plus 123 that might be you know you know
that’s not bad no that might not be bad maybe some maybe some wrestling from Reyes after he gets rocked a little bit
and doesn’t get knocked out completely he wrestles and controls for the round um Izzy boost for the win psychics like
crazy I knew they knew what they were doing yeah he said the DraftKings curse
is real is he bet against himself made more money than you if you won if
something happens dude Australia takes 45 of your paycheck
do they yeah Mack dessie put out that he literally like what he made and what
they took from me it’s 45 from the taxes in Australia 45.
half your money
Mike Perry used to talk about that when he owed a bunch of money in taxes he’s like he went down to like Peru and
fought he’s like they took [ __ ] 50 of my [ __ ] and then I came back to America you guys taxed me again he’s like
[ __ ] saying all this stuff yeah um man that was the weirdest thing dude like the Izzy just losing was weird but
then like DraftKings and they made it to Pro would just go minus 700 to minus a hundred no one all because like the
weird thing was like Izzy was minus like 500 and went up to minus 700 so it’s not like a bunch of money was coming in on
Sean and they were trying to even it back out like it seemed like all the money was on Izzy they said it had the most ton of money ever with him in it
and then they go here we gives you some more odds boots like it doesn’t make sense man crazy
yeah I do both I’ve met online and they would have let me down I would have bet 500 at plus 100 on Izzy all day well
yeah I would have been like here you go take my money I’m your huckleberry that’s what I would have said to him grab Kings better do one of those like
no-brainer Besties I love that movie [ __ ] yeah dude great movie I love that
movie better love it do you know who the best acting was in that whole movie
who do you think was the best actor let’s put it that way I mean
I like I mean I like the owl and I like Costner um who do you think who do you think
nothing wasn’t in that one or not art or uh Kurt Russell bro my brain is not working
you meant Kurt Russell right I can’t even think right now why is my
brain who Kurt Russell is yeah whoever played why he played Wilder white up there who who was better
your mind I don’t think that Val Kilmer was all that great and I just like Doc Hollywood
he was amazing if you like Doc Hollywood downstairs I like when he goes and gets
Johnny Ringo Johnny K Johnny he made that whole movie though he made that whole movie I can’t believe why I’m I’m
um blanking on like Kurt Russell liked his brothers other herbs and stuff down oh the marble man Guy what’s that guy’s
name I don’t remember his name you didn’t like Johnny well then uh Bill Paxton
and then Johnny Ringo was good I don’t remember his I don’t know his name though Belle Kilmer sold that movie like
he oh man he that’s the good one Robert um I actually think Charlie is not that
good but you don’t come back after six years at the highest level when he must have just had one one left on his
contract one fight left on his contract AUD what’s that what’s the AED from
Australian currency so you get more or some I just have to
Decay yeah 25 cap everybody’s happy because the Dude if they didn’t put a cap on it DraftKings
minimum bare minimum whatever they would whatever they would have let me probably
like at that I mean I was pretty confident and Izzy and then you give them at plus money pick up yeah
bro that’s what everybody does that’s the problem when we make a truck a navigator at work and they sell it in
China 250 000 bucks that’s what they say they get there because like you got they gotta make it then they gotta ship it
there then they pay taxes to get it in the tariffs or whatever and we don’t charge tariffs the most most people but
we pay taxes everywhere that’s why our shit’s so we used to America we used to charge tariffs and we used to get all
that good stuff but now we don’t I wonder why that’s a different that’s a different live stream that’s a whole different
live stream now we’re getting now we’re getting into punch list now we need to get Dale on because Dale knows Dale
where are you dale dale come on I’m getting fired up I’m on my third beer let’s go boys
I love Kurt Russell dude he’s good you know Tombstone fire classic for sure man
unforgiving you seen the unforgiving remember that with yup big trouble dude
where he falls off the boat that’s old yeah I love that what was it
I know what you’re talking about I don’t remember that movie though I love that ladies movie for me dude
when I was a kid watching that with the lightning I watched it all the time I think I actually watched it like
eight months ago and it still it holds it holds great I don’t know bro 80s
movies are [ __ ] good all right speaking of 80s movies men’s Flyway Edgar charas versus Daniel
lucerta um I’m gonna start this one we got Charles pretty good striking uh
pretty decent power good boxing um the not good defensive wrestling he can
get taken down very easily hit pole and Guillotine you see him do that against tatsiro Tara a bunch of times but he
almost got it in the third round dude he if there was 10 15 minutes would be uh he would be looking real nice right now
with the win over Tut zero but um other than that he he got I mean he dropped him lead left hook is nice you’ve seen
him hit tiara with that too that’s what dropped him in the first round but like I said he can’t really wrestle he’s hitable and he slows down in a second
you got Daniel asserta this dude is crazy man his striking’s crazy Spinning
Wheel kicks uh Southpaw that throws heat like right down the middle his punches a really straight really powerful really
fast he’s really explosive and um for three minutes you know he can do anything you need that guy to do and
it’s weird man he could have a good record in the UFC right now like decent because like he’s had a lot of his Fighters hurt handless sir or he had
altamarano hurt dropped him heard him but he just like doesn’t seem like he has that full finishing power for some
reason look how bad he had vegara altamarano hurt um the fight with uh figgy’s little
brother or older brother wasn’t wasn’t all that great but that ended quick but um this is actually a very tough fight
for me to call because like it’s like should Charles be minus 250 to anybody in the UFC and then like we don’t know
how good his straight like I know we like to fade Lacerta but I I mean like he’s not bad he just slows down and I
think that this Char is he’s a tough dude tough Mexican dude and I think that he’s gonna go up there and these dudes are going to bang it out like I don’t
think Charles can come out and just try to take lucerno down or slow him down or anything so these dudes are going to be throwing bombs and like one of them is
going to hit one of them’s gonna land I’m gonna say Chara is like Outlast Lucero and gets to finish but I’m not
even like very confident on that because these like like this sir does the better fighter he just don’t have that long a
gas you know what I mean but he could easily come out here and knock out Edgar Charles like the dude’s ten and five
um he’s had some good fights some bad fights but man dude I would not want to have money on him to be honest in this because
it’ll serve it come out Spinning Wheel kick his head off so I’m gonna take Chara say Outlast Lacerta but I’m I’m
just not that confident I’m worried about this fight yeah yeah so after every fight I like to update everyone’s
like every Fighter’s notes with anything that I see like I have like the the blank copy but then I’ll update it as
the fight goes on if they do better or if they do worse or whatever I haven’t changed anything with lucerita and this
is all it says super dangerous everywhere problem is he’s first rounder
bust that’s him in a nutshell like I haven’t changed that in like four fights or in the UFC haven’t changed it once
and I and I put it asterisk next to it because I know I didn’t change it and and that’s him in the nutshell like he’s
super dangerous everywhere on the mat on the feet but he’s got one round to do it
if he doesn’t he’s gonna lose charez he’s pretty durable he’s only been submitted
um he’s never been knocked out I believe he’s been submitted about two or three times let me look two times
he’s lost three decisions he’s never been knocked out so I believe chariz or
should be able to survive that first round now I’m not saying he will but he
should be able to and then win in the second round because Lucero gas is harder than Edgar does
um is there a chance that Lucero wins in the first round of course there is because he’s he’s literally one of the
I don’t want to put him up to the uh Marla Morales that stature of best first
round fighter but he’s up there because he’s amazing in that first round but then he just gases so I’m gonna say
Edgar gets this one done he survives and then he gets a quick finish in the second round whether it’s going to be by
sub whether it’s going to be by a knockout because Lucero is just going to be there basically as a zombie body
there to for Edgar to win by however he wants so I do like the under one and a
half I’m probably gonna play like fight doesn’t start round three because both these guys really don’t go to round three often and the third has only never
been around three I don’t think so right doesn’t start round three in a parlay boys and girls there you go
yep I like that man um I wanted to bet the under 1.5 in this
but my Casino would not release it and I was there today I even sat in a parking lot for a little bit trying to wait because they released like one at a time
like to do the main event then like that was yesterday then today they did two two more by like noon and they did three
more by four o’clock like just put the lines out man but um I agree just put
them out bro put them out man put him out
money line why not four losses time for a win right can’t lose them all and this
is like a big step down really kind of compared to Vergara and even ultimarano is proven anyways you know like UFC
winners like them dudes can win fights um why is my question does
uh Lacerta um sort of got a lot of quitting and he
really does after four minutes yep yeah any short notice too you probably guess out but he’s going to
win overtime surely yep the plus 180 man I don’t mind it I don’t mind that as an
underdog like he’s got a chance she might as well just bet him first round finish you know because I don’t
know yeah that’s true I just still had a little baby gas against uh Vega in the second round but for like a really
minute yeah you could run a mile with him vergera and Chelsea Chandler out here freaking running together
let’s see charez to win in a tough fight Victory against the third I like it super hard I never forget Jane Chelsea
Chandler don’t forget Vergara man that dude spin around the cage eight times well at least he was looking behind him
while he was right Chelsea did not and she ran into the post dude she knows she was done tiring her out
um yeah there’s some there’s something up here with her yeah I bet she wins her next fight I bet
you she wins her next fight um he’s not improving that much yeah Cody
Edgar is way better the Serta is not good and he quits he does but I’m just saying he’s so dangerous though so
dangerous isn’t what you’re saying Robert I get it
he just runs six gear yeah five five k RPM pacing even just a little would pay
it what he he’s a good fighter he’s there to round one let’s there to round
one is Plus 400. that’s not a Bad Bet no that’s literally
his win condition if you if you like lucerita to win round one plus 400 there
you go now let’s see does yep
next fight women’s flyweight Tracy Cortez versus Yasmin jervisius
um I believe you get to start this one right okay this is gonna be a fun fight uh both both ladies are very good
wrestlers they both have good takedowns they have good grappling um here’s the difference though
Jasmine’s gonna be a little bit I think she’s a little bit better in the clinch she’s stronger I think
her takedowns aren’t as like technical she do doesn’t relies moral in like her
strength and like trips and stuff but Cortez has the better like maybe double legs and single legs like that but
Jasmine is a dog she’s gonna be pushing forward for 15 minutes she can take all
any shots at all and Cortez does not have good striking so on the feet I actually think
Jasmine’s going to do way better than Cortez but on the mat it could be a
little dicey but both girls had pretty decent takedown defense so I don’t really know I think that just evens each
other out I don’t know what’s going to happen on the ground but I just favored Jasmine on the feet I think she’s
stronger I think she’s more durable she’s got better cardio and I think she has that like will and the grit to win
we’ve seen Cortez slow down in the third round in a lot of her fights I mean she’s usually won the first two pretty
dominantly but then she kind of slows down so I don’t know if that’s just because she’s tired I don’t know if she’s because she knows she’s up and
she’s kind of like like maybe I don’t want to say quitting but like just you know taking it easy
making sure she’s not gonna get submitted because she knows she’s gonna win but Jasmine’s gonna keep pushing no matter what whether she’s winning or
losing so I like plus money on Jasmine I got a bet on her I think she’s gonna get this one done very close decision though
it’s probably 29-28 maybe a split but I do see Jasmine in the later rounds
winning especially like rounds two and three maybe Cortez wins round one so I
like Jasmine though as a dog if you can get her at plus money I think it’s a great bet yeah um yeah man you you put out a lot
of information there Chase Cortez she has good wrestling she’s good like good timings on on her double legs time under
um timing it under the other person’s punches all that decent body lock takedowns but just like I said good
timing on them double legs she has good Jiu Jitsu on top or on the bottom decent striking but like she throws like naked
leg kicks she’s not actually her striking’s not that fast like her boxing’s not that bad but she has no striking defense like she’ll literally
just walk in kind of hands down and throw a leg kick and get punched in the face like two three times like Melissa Gatto was out striking her
um another thing in the Melissa goto fight where you see Melissa got it was having trouble even taking down like uh Ariana lipsky and that she was able to
take down and win the second round over Cortez and it look like Cortez just slowed down in that second round there
and then Cortez came back in the third round was able to get the takedown and just stay safe on top but uh
yeah it does seem like she slows down a little bit and I don’t like her striking I don’t think her striking is that good at all she has no striking defense and
she doesn’t move her head at all then you have Jasmine Jazz delicious she’s got good wrestling too she was you know
Russell Dom like on the Canadian freestyle team or something like that uh she’s got decent striking she showed
that it definitely looked improved against uh Miranda Maverick last fight and then her grappling has been looking great lately um
what was the one girl’s name she beat before uh dude my brain is now working
who’s the girl she beat the the Brazilian girl that she beat up Gabriel Gabriella yeah yeah when she beat me she
she got she got pieced up a little bit on the feet when they were standing on the feet but she landed a couple of these shots but her wrestling looks so
good there and then her Ground Control and her ground and pound um look phenomenal she’s gonna be two inches taller with two and a half inches
of reach I believe that Jasmine’s gonna have the better striking here which her striking ain’t that great but court but
like Cortez is not that yeah at all so she’s gonna have the Striking Advantage she’s gonna have the cardio Advantage
she’s gonna have the wrestling advantage in my opinion um she’s gonna have the size Advantage so
like the only thing I really think Cortez is better at is like Jiu Jitsu but it’s not like she’s just some Jiu Jitsu whiz she’s got like pretty good
sweeps and stuff but I like Jasmine Jazz delicious here man I think that um she’s gonna win the wrestling scrambles and I
think if she can just keep it standing that she’ll have better stand up than Cortez Cortez it’s not like I said dude
she literally like Cortez like we’re running with her hands out throw a leg kick and get punched in the face twice like what are you doing here but um it’s
gonna be a good fight I got her at plus 110 and I like her so yeah yeah I got her at plus uh 105. so nice I mean it’s
gonna be a close fight like this is gonna be a good fight but I just think there is a little bit of advantages on
the Jasmine side there’s more let’s put it that way then Cortez in this matchup I’m not saying Cortez is bad like I
think she’s a very good wrestler but and this isn’t this is just not a good matchup that she’s had in the past
like she’s fought a lot of people that aren’t wrestlers or aren’t don’t have
good takedown defense and she controls them when she’s on top and then she wins like that way but I don’t know if she’s
gonna be able to take down Jasmine she’s very strong very strong yeah bunny Hunter said I
hope I’m wrong for you guys but on film Cortez always finds herself on top yeah but God always kicking her down and then
but she hasn’t caught anybody like this though Stephanie Edgar but that was at 135 but she even reversed her a couple
times when was on top like that fight with Stephanie Edgar it was super tough what was the one there was one fight too where Cortez had trouble
she must split the decision with her because like yep she couldn’t get her she closed I think the cut to 125 is big
for for a Cortez let’s see Dad said I bet Cortez but have switched to JJ women MMA just feels like
dog bets at only at times yeah I bet the dogs yeah I better at plus 110 I like it
if Jasmine can keep it on her feet if I think she has better wrestling I think she can like she’s got more articulates
than Tracy I just like I like her I like her strength I think she can keep the takedowns and make sure she’s okay and
if she’s in the clinch she’s gonna be way stronger than Cortez and she won’t be able to go down to get those double
legs and single legs another thing is that go look at them burst that she was doing on Miranda Maverick like she was
going nuts she’s got a good clinch with clinched knees and then she was growing like good punches like against Mavericks she did not look that striking didn’t
look all that bad um I’ve never looked at Cortez’s striking I watched all the [ __ ] she’s slow she says decent boxing and she
throws naked ass leg kicks and then she tries to wrestle and if she mainly wrestles that’s the thing and then not only that but she’s got mental issues
been going on she hasn’t fought in over a year when Jazz has been out here fighting tough ass girls I don’t like I
don’t like to put that in my breakdowns but that’s another thing you gotta look at like we don’t know where her headspace is going to be and she’s been
in a lot of stuff like with the whole you know all that crap I don’t even want to get into it but Carlos got sir
Jasmine is like focused on winning yeah yeah um yeah Cortez pulled out against Amanda
hebos like on the scales let’s see I bet against Jasmine their last two fights and lost them all now I bet on her she
proved me wrong yeah sometimes man they they like some of these Fighters you just bet against them bet against them and then you you’re still watching
you’re like man I got it I don’t know um Cortez is a giant head it’s a nice head she’s got a nice head but she’s a
giant head uh Jasmine eats head kicks like it’s Fruit Loop she does but luckily Cortez ain’t throwing a head
kick though ever she but um Jasmine’s tough though dude she’s tough Jasmine
stand up is not good yet neither one of them is good but I think it’s better like dude if you watch Tracy Cortez’s
stand up and think that’s decent like dude I was just watching her go throw a
kick get her face punched off is weird and she hasn’t even fought like good Fighters yet you know like really good
Striker spots Edgar Justine Gish and freaking um Melissa Gatto so I don’t I
don’t know man I like Tracy’s High technical wrestling more than um Jazz’s strength Cortez has been moving and
evading better jab is slow and Strikes like I’m hitting the heavy bag yeah yep
Jasmine striking did look improved in her fight with Miranda it really did she was throwing some heat and at the end she was like flurrying on Amanda getting
up against cage them clinch knees like I don’t see Cortez though he’s got plus 105 I like that Chasey coming in with
the angry ex-girlfriend energy that that uh McKenzie during [ __ ] I hope not uh
gato fight was very Talent Cortez and after a layoff dealing with issues can competitive and conditioned awe fight
and always got the reversals yeah yeah but a gato don’t have good wrestling or like she’s got a decent Jiu
Jitsu but like if she had great wrestling anybody with even decent wrestling beats Ariana lipsky like I
watched Antonio Russell Ariana lipsky and finish her on the ground and that was the way to beat
that girl so it’s like I don’t know um she got reversals in all of them yeah
but none of them girls are as good as wrestlers as Jasmine or as big dude Jasmine’s a big girl too that’s that’s
what uh confidence level on on on a one to ten on I think that says Jazz uh well I bet
330 to win three I’m gonna go with the [ __ ] you know maybe like a seven as an
underdog I just want to watch tape dude I thought she was better everywhere other than Jiu Jitsu that’s what my notes say better I think Jasmine could
win seven out of ten times I don’t know where Tracy’s mind is at the moment because she was playing but
yeah yeah and Nelson be about that we’re about to get to him he could and I didn’t hit him
but uh you can parlay the over in this fight with the uh copy love yeah I like
that there you go easy nobody confidence level and Jazz one to ten I like her as well but not sold out I would say seven
yeah yeah you know six five or seven for an underdog is is high even six five I
mean I don’t accept I don’t expect her to walk through it’s going to be a close fight but I do expect her to like win
the grappling exchanges and stuff
but the judges will give it to Tracy I hope we’ll see uh this jazz versus Tracy
fight feels like a decision only type of bet um added Insurance on your bet yeah so if you like either side you probably
maybe even that Split Decision here this might be a back and forth crazy fight pickups that I think people aren’t
giving Jasmine the respect as a prospect if she’s 34 yeah and she’s been in in
wrestling martial arts stuff her whole life um I think we’re going to see a big jump in Tracy’s ability followed the same
move Henry did by cross training with the pit bulls yeah and she’s good she’s really good we’ll never see you we’re
gonna see you we’ll see next fight men’s bantamweight Raul rossos Jr versus Terence missile Mitchell Riley roses Jr
great wrestling decent striking looks like he’s scared to use it though he hasn’t wanted to strike with anybody
really he Panic wrestled the whole time with Rodriguez until he uh guessed itself out last fight but he does have
good wrestling he has a really good Jiu Jitsu he has good back takes he has Good Rear naked shows almost got a Mondo
Gutierrez and the Silverman stretch on um the contender series he’s just he’s
real dangerous Terence Mitchell um dangerous on the Alaska FC fight scene out there killing everybody that’s one
or four um getting them out of there you know quick in the first round but um overall
you know it doesn’t seem to have that much heart and um or that much talent to be honest like against Cameron Simon which is a tough tough dude
um he came out shot a takedown got Simon down Simon reversed him usually you can hold Simon down for the first round and
a half you’ve seen Stephen coslow do it a lot of people cannot wrestle him and um Mitchell had like two minutes of gas and
Simon reversed him and put him got him down in our uh Platinum out and just beat the crap out of him basically when
he was gassed out so yeah man um I’m just gonna be short with this I’m taking Raul roses Junior by by
submission and under the one and a half rounds I mean I think the first time that he gets in a good position in this
fight because maybe Mitchell he’s a bigger dude you know comes out and lands to take down and this and that but I was
going to reverse it we’re always going to choke this dude out another one and a half what do you got Jenny yeah I think Rose’s Junior gets this one
done Terence Mitchell’s you know he has a pretty good record if you look at it but if you really you know dive into it
it’s all on the Alaskan scene which I’m that’s a huge red flag to me I mean basically he’s fighting
four and one guys three and three one and two oh and two like these guys don’t
know how to fight let’s be honest uh Mitchell it doesn’t like to get to the second round either or a third round
definitely the third round he doesn’t get to the third round I think he’s only been to decision uh once and he lost so this fight is not
gonna more than likely not gonna go under or over one and a half I I got fight doesn’t start around three in a
parlay super safe parlay I think that hits Rose’s Junior should win this fight I don’t care if it’s gonna be by
striking or grappling he’s probably Gonna Be by grappling and wrestling as you can get this guy down and then
eventually get the submission when Mitchell probably gases out maybe it does go in the second round but it ain’t gonna be too much farther after the
second round hits so uh Raul is better he just is he’s 18 years old I know he’s
still young he can make some mistakes but I think the mistakes that he makes in this fight at least if he doesn’t gas
out kind of like he did in his last fight he should win like he made some mistakes
on a couple of other fights that we’ve seen where he got reversed but he reversed again because he was trying to
go for submission over position but those mistakes I’m okay with because he’s actually a really good Grappler but
the mistakes of going all out in his first big thing and you know
um gassing himself out I don’t like to see that but he’s 18 years old so you have to remember so the minus 700 isn’t
really the greatest look to do just in case but I think the under one and a
half is a good parlay piece I think uh fight doesn’t start round three is a good parlay piece and it’s it’s all under or better than minus 700 so just
take just take that think we’re all uh Rose’s Junior gets it done by submission
yeah I like it Daniel said he doesn’t believe Bros he said roast has been 18 for two years now man
he’s a little he’s a little weirdo yeah Johan said well I imagine if Rosas loses
again that would be crazy man yep Bounty Hunter uh bet online doesn’t let me
watch the games for free like they used to oh okay I used to get the football games and stuff up there
yeah fight is in the men’s featherweight division Fernando Padilla versus Kyle
Nelson I’ll let you start this one Johnny oh man so if we’re talk we were talking
about parlay Busters earlier and I think this might be the one boys and girls
um Padilla is very he’s very explosive like he’s super young he’s super dangerous he’s got good striking he’s uh
he’s aggressive he pushes forward he’s got good grappling but he’s not like one of those Grapplers where he’s gonna
wrestle you down and submit you he’s like a more of like an opportunist Grappler where if he gets taken down he
can reverse and get better positions or get or work off his back and get those submissions like he’s not really one to
go for the wrestling but he’s a very good Striker he’s got power you saw in his last fight against Julian erosa but
take that with a grain of salt boys and girls because Rosa doesn’t have a chin anymore we just we found that out and um
it was a very quick fight so we really didn’t get to learn too much about that other than erosa’s chin is not what it
used to be um Nelson though very well-rounded UFC vet he’s been in the game for a while
he’s good everywhere he’s not amazing anywhere he can mix in wrestling he’s got good cardio he’s durable like he’s
been finished later in the fights but a lot of the like a lot of we those finishes have he’s been up at
lightweight he’s he’s a featherweight like so this fight’s going to be at featherweight I think that’s gonna favor
him more so and I think he gets it done I think he’s able to survive the first round he may lose the first round so
this might be a good betting opportunity for live bets and just see how Padilla is going how he’s looking and see if um
Nelson’s looking good too but I think Nelson gets it done I like his experience he’s bought better
competition and I’m just not sold on Padilla yeah I know he’s dangerous but I want to see him more in the UFC this is
a good test for him and Nelson I think can Pat and be that parlay Buster that we were trying to say so I think he gets
done by decision though Nelson isn’t really the greatest finisher so but I think he can make it close and I think
he can get it done 29-28 decision yeah I don’t mind all the all the stuff
you said you broke down pretty good like Padilla man um really good boxing super tough dude’s never been finished in his
whole career um really good boxing really good Jiu Jitsu 10th Planet guys he’s super tall and long and skinny you
know for like six one for 145 pounds is crazy but he’s got he’s got excellent triangles off his back he just don’t
have no wrestling he can’t wrestle to get it there and he he doesn’t really have he has pretty bad uh defensive
wrestling but I don’t think he really cares to get taken down yeah he can remember if he’s good but he’s like doing that so yeah his striking’s good
he’s always coming forward uh he can take a shot to give a shot and he likes to walk guys down
and um he’s just he’s very durable uh good boxing and all that and he keeps a
very good Pace like he’s constantly coming forward and he’s constantly doing some Kyle Nelson like you said he’s pretty well-rounded he’s got pretty good
striking really good leg kicks his leg kicks are getting a lot better um his wrestling isn’t the greatest but
he’s got a really good cage control like he’ll just push somebody up against the cage and just hit him with knees and stuff it doesn’t even look like he’s
really trying to finish the takedown but he can burn a lot of time that way just like he did with um uh what’s uh Jai
Herbert and stuff like that but um this fight what this fight comes down to for
me is is Fernando Padilla is actually going to be the one like Kyle Nelson hasn’t got finished he’s watched a
decision in his last couple fights and stuff but he used to be like killer be killed like he used to usually get
finished in the third round like uh Billy quarantilo got him in the third round Matt Solis sales or Solis Harvey
say he got him in the third round because he had gas out and slow down but the last couple guys he’s been fighting haven’t really been putting too much
pressure on him you know what I mean like Jai Herbert they just did cage grappling the whole time and then the last one with Blake Builder he does a
whole bunch of nothing you know what I mean just moving around and throwing barely even throwing but uh Padilla
pushes that forward pressure and throws a lot of value so I’m gonna say that Padilla actually at some point he keeps
disconnect standing and he’s able to catch Nelson with someone they need to finish him or get like a club and sub
Man by like because I’m gonna call the third round because like I said that’s usually when Nelson will get finished he
usually goes pretty hard in that first and second he’s not going to have time to just hang out in this fight like Padilla’s going to be coming after him
right away so um I’m not I’m not like a million percent confident in it because I still want to see Padilla do something
I’m not that impressed with the Julian or Russell win because he just hit you hit Julian right and he’s going to go down so um but give me Padilla but man
you know um I don’t have any bets I do I I guess I mean just Padilla his line
ain’t too crazy that’s that’s what I would do I don’t um I don’t I just don’t like the money line for him I like yeah
he won I think a lot of recency bias is coming into play here with how he looked against Arosa a UFC veteran and another
he’s fighting someone kind of along the same lines the UFC veteran not really amazing but I think Nelson’s I think
he’s better he’s more durable and he’s more has a more well-rounded game
um I actually like the over one and a half minus like 130 minus 140. I like it I think that’s the I think that’s the
play if you’re gonna do it or if you want to take a shot on Nelson the win but minus 140 for the over one and a half I think Nelson can survive
I don’t think Nelson’s gonna get him out of there early but he’s gonna have to worry about Padilla in the first round I
think it’s the first if it gets to the second round I think it’s gonna hit easy I like that over one and a half I don’t
mind that at all that’s one bed that I’m looking at I just haven’t pulled the trigger Daniel set up padillo will have
to have a showcase when I mean yeah yeah I mean he he looks good you know it was
plus Eleven Hundred two leg one of my biggest cash that’s a big win with Durden Durden and uh Padilla and that
was it was probably easy money too man both of them dominated you know bunny Hunter said great take Yannick
I got Padilla decision Daniel said okay Padilla wins here but very close fight uh closer than the number six I agree
I’m not saying PDA can’t win this fight I just think it I think the line’s a little off and I think a lot of people
are just rushing to the window to bet Padilla after erosa like it that doesn’t
surprise like you have to show me more than that right see one minute UFC
experience knocking down to uh disturbingly chitty fighter with a dog shot yeah that for me I can’t blame
anybody but in Kyle Nelson he’s probably the best dog on this card as far as the big dog in my opinion he has the best
chance to I think he’s the biggest dog for sure yeah Lucerne has a chance but I
would feel more confident than Nelson could get it done Derek said just stop for dinner after arriving in Chicago
from Memphis better late than pregnant this guy appreciate you coming out and
Derek Izzy man um can’t wait to go hang out at another show with you man we’re all gonna have
to find like a Bellator or something to go to together Bellator is coming in Chicago in November are they is it a
good one though is it a good one um patchy mix uh Pettis is fighting
again I think Patricio is fighting again it’s not bad about it they just put out
tickets Nelson yeah in the third yeah that’s
Billy Q Billy Q does that yeah because Nelly’s been walking down he does put pressure on guys I love that over 1.5
Pickens right so Johnny’s right yep yeah
next fight men’s lightweight division Daniel zellhuber vs Christos Giagos
um you started last one I’m pretty sure I’ll start this one Daniel’s a Hoover man really good striking you know long
kickboxing uh watched him on the contender Series against umaida what’s his first name
uh Lucas Lucas Almeida dude my brain I’m telling you guys I’ve been up for like a slow long bro because usually my very
good fight there yeah um oh it was phenomenal Lucas I might have beat the [ __ ] out of zel Uber in the first round
dude hit him with so many Big Shots this kid’s durable as hell um you know the same shots that finish
trizano Hoover was just eating them and then he looked uh he looked good in the second and third came back and got that
win came into the UFC and fought terrible against Trey Ogden like a terrible fight very low a low volume
basically didn’t even do anything Trey Ogden got the win looked better in his last fight with um
Orlando bernata definitely in the first round when he almost finished but now he pretty much did finish but now they’re like dude
um even at one point venata curled up and the ref just let him keep hitting him and then bernardo’s like [ __ ] it I’ll come back in but uh it was it was a
decent fight but he should I mean he looked good his cardio looked great because he should have gassed out he threw he hit banana with like 110
significant strikes in that first round just trying to finish him but um ended up being able to win it out and get the
second and third round um but man I I was expecting a lot more out of him to be honest then you got
Christos tiagos who’s a well-rounded UFC that he’s been fighting forever he’s got good offensive and defensive wrestling
he’s got pretty good striking you’ve seen him with that left hook or I believe his left hook that knocked out Ricky Glenn Wright just like a lead left
hook um Ricky Glenn looks so bad that fight he
was minus like 250 too yeah I’m glad I didn’t bet him but it was that was awful
there’s your Charles right there thank you chariz man that’s gonna be the chariz he’s gonna come out but uh
yeah man um Diego stole good wrestling offensive and defensive really good Jiu Jitsu uh offensive Jiu Jitsu beds
defensive Jiu Jitsu he usually gets subbed out but he’s a strong dude he’s got decent cardio he goes really hard in
first and second round um and usually gives up the third like it gets like jakar close and and people
when he gets into third round but he’s a good well-rounded fighter and this is this is going to be a close fight because I don’t see Zoe Uber really
finishing the giago’s unless she hits it he hits him with something big in that first round but uh
oh man I think that this fight if I are pretty close too because zahoga doesn’t look like he’s that much of a finisher
in the UFC like he did drop banata but then once he didn’t finish him he didn’t look good yeah but then he like against
Trey Ogden didn’t do nothing he looked awful man they ran some big shots but
you have to remember too though this guy’s young I was at UFC debut he looked great again Luca though might is pretty
tough I mean he’s not green on the ground but striking like no but give me something I remember we were talking
about it I remember we were talking about this like after the Ogden fight we’re like man Zell Huber like he’s a go
isn’t he a Golden Glove like boxer or something like that so I’m like I don’t remember what they call it
like either okay anyways he’s like a really good boxer it’s like what the hell like he did not look at that at all
no um I’m I’m high on zeld Hoover on this fight
like yeah the his first fight in the UFC his debut was awful I bet him and I was
disgusted but he came out against Lando vanata who’s a better fighter than Trey
Ogden and he won convincingly that’s all I needed to know it was the Jitters he
got out of the way he’s still young he’s 24 years old he’s got very good striking and good
takedown defense um Christos I mean he’s solid wrestler that’s really about it yeah he looked
like a world beater against Ricky Glenn but it’s dude Ricky Glenn I swear to God
he was minus like five times slow like than usual like Ricky Glenn almost beat
[ __ ] Grant Dawson yep like he almost beat Grand Dawson and then Christos is
gonna look like that against him like come on that I don’t know what’s wrong with Ricky Glenn I don’t know if it’s an injury or if he if he just hit that wall
hey this ain’t gonna happen like that Christos is solid good solid wrestler but he needs to wrestle this fight and I
don’t think it’s gonna happen I think eventually Zell Uber’s gonna get that chin um and I think he also can win a
decision so maybe the first round is going to be the most questionable round but as the fight goes on I think zel
Huber is going to find that chin stuff to take Downs even more so than he can in the first and then uh because
literally Christos needs to wrestle wrestle Shane Russell Russell Russell Russell so it’s gonna be hard getting
down that big guy in zohubery he’s got he’s a huge guy to get down in that in that
um go ahead
knockout like late second or third round knockout don’t hate me here but I just
hope dude I just hope people do not get the um the old feeling we had down in
Nashville Striker doing this all his takedown defense is good but we never watched him
we never you know like Ludovic is better than Ludovic lines better than Christos
maybe but we don’t still knows I think he is grappling’s like though because we haven’t really seen anything
I think he said that about Baja mandas I was like 90 I was like dude something was wrong with him
something was wrong with him and we were stupid that’s what’s wrong with the man
um but yeah man I agree with all what you said um I guess I got the Uber in the parlay with um uh copy love that’s
my big parlay of the week like I think he wins I think those guys are great yup I think he wins I just I want to see I
want to see how that wrestling Stacks up here because like jago’s ain’t bad I remember one time I bet um oh
put up a way better fight than I thought John newquist in the house

Jasmine that’s that dog prices I still think you can get her a dog barely I
like Kyle Nelson to win I’m not very confident but I think he can get it done uh other
than that like I mean there’s a chance Lucero wins we were just talking about
that like there’s I mean there’s a high chance that he can win in the in the first round only so bet the first round
with Sarah plus 400 if you think he’s gonna win or could win
I would say those are my three when I like dogs when I want to bet a dog I want a junkyard dog and when I when I’m

to pick him I’m like oh come on Samos now mine is 500 is gonna kill this guy
and just like I said he’s gonna first put what are you telling me I almost killed medic twice he almost did he did
so I’m sorry they dropped somebody in the first round and then they’ll get the finish and then
you’re like oh man like you know the tides are gonna turn you know it
yeah I hope he lays out I hope he lays out again I hate that I love wrestling amazing
takedown defense dude amazing what up he said what up y’all bunny Hunter said
Cody doubling down on Grassle seems like you’re reaching because of last week but I wish you the best the funny thing
about that is that you see the line plus 190 I don’t put that in two weeks ago that grasshold that was put in way and I
didn’t bet on Izzy did you see my post I put two thumbs down for both bets
the line’s so nice I hadn’t been a champ at plus 190 she’s Junkyard Dog junkyard
also point this out too there was one other person that that altered their
belt and also lost so yeah
pink it’s it’s disrespectful but she’s still gonna
win you know what I mean that’s just that’s just how that goes man it’s just don’t blow the lines up guys yeah don’t
make a dog nasty I don’t I gotta do tables that is
such a I gotta go that’s a tough fight how bad guy he gave looking really good
lately though yeah but I could see but his his kryptonite’s always been his takedown defense I know I know so it’s
like but if it stays on the feed we already know what time it is so um for ige versus ninja I guess it doesn’t go the
distance that might be a deal but I don’t know I mean then you just gotta say that egase finish it Mitchell because ige has never been finished
so I don’t know it’s sure we’ll get him no problem mushroom you already know what it is pretty good you get his
pretty good submission defense too when he’s taken down he’s good enough like he won’t get submitted I don’t think so
that would be great dude do a live football break it and do the be the commentators for it
yeah like uh I’ll take Chandler take Chandler all day with the broken leg and
all that stuff and the wrestling are they gonna be at 170 or 155. come on Jonathan oh he was on I thought we was
we was clicking tonight man we was we was talking clicking Jones
have a great time uh short guys always stuff takedowns on toddler Fighters easier uh so much
distance for taller fighter to cover those are that’s true yeah who’s cuter Grasso or Cortez oh that’s a I would
have to you know that’s a live thing I’d have to see him live talk to him smell you guys there’s a lot of things
see the perfumes man Victor Victory I gotta smell their hair I gotta hug them
just to see if they’re nice or not grossel is a junkyard dog though you
know what I mean uh Victor what is up he said hello gentlemen hello Victor what is up we’re
just talking about the the Bellator might have to figure something out
I don’t think so November 17th real quick because this is gonna be a good one next fight Kevin Holland versus Jack
Della out of Delana you start this one off this is a tough one
I went back and forth a lot on this one so we all know we all know these guys
I’m not gonna break it down I’m going to tell you this from what I remember
recency bias if you want to say Jack Dylan made some very poor choices in his
last fight and granted yes he had a cut twice in like two weeks and all that
stuff but he’s fighting a guy that’s a very good Grappler also you know Kevin Hall is not the greatest but he’s got
good grappling um but he just kept going for Guillotines after Guillotines and then
like I don’t like that I think that’s a bad fight IQ but this is going to be a different fight I’m gonna take it out
Holland is the more experienced fighter here he’s fought the better guys I think he’s dangerous everywhere so is Jack
Della here this is such a close fight like but I always like to favor
experience to but like these guys are like I’m still
debating like my pick to be honest like this is how close it is but I’m gonna go with Holland I’m just gonna say it right
now I’m going with Holland I just think he’s got the grappling Edge if Della
madalina makes a mistake what puts his head down or anything
crazy like that I think Holland can snatch up his neck immediately ameeve almost got him in a DARS joke
and dad that Holland is gonna wrap that up all day first second or third round
doesn’t matter so if it’s on the feet though I could see it go either way but I’m gonna go with
Holland he’s the bigger guy he’s got the longer range both guys are durable I think that’s my
ghost decision I like that bet better than picking aside might go with the decision or over two and a half you
still get plus money I like that bet both guys are super durable and you know
Jack’s gonna be like dangerous in the first round but Holland is more dangerous in the second round so if this
fight gets to the third round you know your BET’s hitting I just don’t see anyone like finishing one another so
give me Holland at plus money I’m not betting it though but if it gets up to like minus like plus 140 range then I
have to bet it this is a 50 50 fight so I don’t know it’s a it’s a that’s
probably the worst breakdown ever I just did but it is what it is because it’s that close I don’t even know who to pick
I picked Holland but it is I don’t know I don’t know who’s gonna win I like Jack Della I like him a lot
yeah oh I can’t get past the experience I like Jack Della I like his boxing I
like that um he switches stances smoothly I like that he works the body I like that he you know busts the face
open he busts people’s face like what he did to Rodriguez like he’s constantly touching people
um like I said not the best defensive wrestling he’s actually got like a judo background too like he grew up doing
Judo but it doesn’t really look he had a couple good trips but it got reversed right away in that last fight his jiu
jitsu’s not all that good but yeah really good boxing really good stance switching and um throws a lot of combos
but see the problem that I have with with Jack down the Mad Elena it’s his boxing and all this looks
awesome because he’s not really fighting like the best guys in the world so he can go out there and kind of take off he hasn’t been in there with anybody
dangerous yet like ramazan and me like even Randy Brown’s not knocking nobody out like none of these dudes are putting
any Pete Rodriguez none of these dudes are or any Roberts yeah like are giving
anything back to where he can just go was the closest fight that he had yeah and he had a really good fight with him
that was a bad guy he almost got arm triangle he I literally was just watching that the other day and and and
I thought he was gonna [ __ ] tap like he laid there in that [ __ ] iron triangle for like 20 seconds and he just
had his hand right here and he just like wasn’t moving wasn’t fighting and then all of a sudden just exploded out of it
Angelus is good but he’s not on [ __ ] Kevin Hollins [ __ ] level at all I
mean what would Kevin Holland do to Reese Reese McKee you know what I mean and like Angelus destroy him in the
first round probably yeah and Jack Della went second man
um like Jack devil has got good boxing right but like when he comes in against Kevin Holland Kevin Hollins got
phenomenal box Kevin Hollins five uh four inches taller with eight inches of reach the way to beat Kevin Hollins
never like I’m gonna go in here and out box Kevin Holland it’s like [ __ ] take this guy down because he’s wrestling
wrestle and out muscle him yeah yeah because he’s got phenomenal striking he’s got great boxing you know what I
mean he’s [ __ ] tough as [ __ ] he’s durable as they come like it the dude’s good then I mean I’m not he’s
not going to wrestle Jack Della here like everybody can think whatever but like Kevin Allen he he’s his defensive wrestling’s getting better but to think
that anybody just because you see Jack delegate taken down by basil that you think that that Kevin Allen is going to
come out here and wrestling I don’t think so at all but I don’t think either one of these guys are really going to wrestle I think it’s going to be a stand-up fight right
Kevin Allen has legit one one punch knockout power he does really good against boxers that are smaller than him
if you go watch his fight with Joaquin Buckley that was a [ __ ] masterpiece like he’s just picking him up he’s like
you got a booger in your nose wab just like piecing him up from a distance if you watch Jack Della um even going
against uh uh Randy Brown for like the first two and a half minutes Randy Brown’s just hitting a move and hitting and movement and Jack Della couldn’t
even get on the inside and on him then he finally backed him up against the cage and hit him with a big shot but we all know Randy Brown ain’t got no Chin
like he’s gonna he got knocked out by a hammer fist by [ __ ] Nico price Kevin Hollins got a chin Kevin Holland is
going to be the one boom jabbing one two doing all that and like he’s got phenomenal boxing he’s got crazy
knockout power Kevin’s never been knocked out cold other than the accidental head butt by Kyle Dawkins
yeah and then he got the the stoppage by by Wonder Boy Kevin Holland at 170 is a beast like
like look man I like Jack Della and he’s a beast but he’s not he’s not he’s not even the prospect I’m looking at coming
up like shot [ __ ] him up like Ian Gary [ __ ] him up like them dudes would be a very good fight I’m actually going to be
looking at Kevin Holland working himself up towards the championship more than Jack Della like Kevin Hollins way more
dangerous all around like Jack Kelly he could knock out Michael kieza but Michael Kiesza might be able to go out and just like what would you take on
keza and Jack Della maybe kieza can go out and out wrestle this dude for three rounds like we just seen them but like
Kevin Allen went out and just [ __ ] him up like Kevin Allen’s got excellent knees too that’s what he hit uh Michael
kieza with I just man I’m I just like to have an island here and just everyone I watched all the tape and I was going
back and forth and I’m just like the experience this is going to be a striking match in my opinion I don’t think it really goes to the ground
unless someone slips and then Kevin Allen has got eight inches of reach and we’re talking about a boxing match and Kevin Holland hits hard and he uses his
reach too so I like Kevin Holland man I I might have just put a bet on him at plus 130 earlier
am I not have posted it yet but like I said I like Jack Della but he’s a boxer dude that’s that’s his whole game is
boxing and if that if if like he comes out and Kevin Holland starts piecing him
up hits him with a big shot rocks him a little bit and his boxing ain’t working what’s his fallback game like what I
don’t I don’t know I like Jack Della but like I said I mean Kevin Hollins 30 years old and he’s a monster at 170 dude
six three with the 81. he’s way better wait and he’s got legit one one shot
knockout power too so I mean I just don’t know where Jack Della where Jack Della is like so much better at or
anything so and he hasn’t proved [ __ ] to me like Jack Taylor hasn’t proved he hasn’t beat nobody Angelus is his best
win and that was a [ __ ] really close fight back and forth I mean you could say Randy Brown is his best to win but
we all know who Randy Brown is at his stage in his career right now he’s 33 years old he doesn’t really have a chin
he’s not really that dangerous anymore um yeah yeah he’s got very low level guys after
that or before I’m sorry Dennis said I got Holland by decision I love it oh I
like that uh 9 16 days said I like howling here but he has a curse worries me yeah I’ve been beaten up yet
um I took JDM at minus 105 gonna be a great fight campaign I don’t mind I don’t mind anybody getting plus money at
any whoever they think is going to win if you got plus money then you’re doing it right or close to it like minus 105
is good you know Jack Roman over 4.5 main event is my parlay I don’t mind that Flynn I’m besides on the jack one
I’m with you on the main event and I’m I like that over yeah uh Victor yeah what’s up JDM is Dead
Island let’s go mushroom let’s go mushroom I love it love it uh sorry Cody
but I’m with Johnny Boy on the title fight I think sochenko has something to prove and the older the dog has one more
I think it looks like the gosh dang Leon Edwards versus he’s not slow come on man
that’s a Trilogy fight this is a this is just a rematch here come on yeah but no
that was like two five the trillion the other five is like seven years before so really just a two fight thing and it kind of was like Usman yeah
it doesn’t matter fought the perfectest fight she could fight at that time against Grasso last time she’s still got
it that wasn’t a perfect fight for her what could have went more that’s the thing and she was winning it was going
to be 2-2 going into the fourth no going into the fifth you mean I mean going in with it look re-watch the fourth round
yeah Valentina was out striking Grosso the whole time until she she’s gone well
you’re telling me the myth and then she got trying to choke her head off for a minute on a rear naked choke she don’t
win well if if if that happened with all the momentum on grass so plus 190 come
on if that happened maybe what
no no I’m saying it look at if she didn’t get to finish in the fourth round yeah yeah but it’s it’s yeah but we
don’t but maybe Grasso wins but I’m just saying before that happened Valentina
was winning the fourth round until she got on her back and then a sub happened
we’ll get to it we’ll get to it I think you guys at Connor Connor sober underrating I’m not underrating him
whatsoever good at all I think he’s very good Nate Brown said Holland at 170 he’s like Paul Craig at 185 that’s a
phenomenal what about Paul Craig at 205 oh yeah he went down he went down he went down yeah
um jvm only beat people that are below journeyman yeah like Kevin Allen’s really been in there with the like he
just grew up in the United States Kevin Hollins at 185 that’s correct Kevin Hollins the best journeyman fighter in
the UFC he’s what I mean by journeyman is he just takes whatever UFC gives him and if they pay him enough he’ll do it
and he’s just a prize fighter that’s his that’s him you yeah he doesn’t he doesn’t really he says he doesn’t want
the Bell but you know he wants the belt but he wants money that’s the thing that’s his number one thing is money I
want to win it’s not that he doesn’t want to take these fights and like lose he wants to win because then he gets
double of what he gets and the more fights he gets the more money he’s gonna get because that’s how they do it in the
UFC he’s got like 20 fights in the UFC it’s crazy he’s making like 250 000 just
to show up and then if he wins he gets another 250 000 it’s not even a pay-per-view he wants to win guys so
don’t look at it that way like he wants to win because of money not because of a belt he wants to win regular money yeah
so what he says yeah Daniel said don’t talk about Michael he has his mom Kevin Lee had to almost figure out learn the
hard way about that at the press conference and in the fight but it didn’t work out Holland has a lot of
advantages here for sure and then he’s durable like super durable um I’m not writing off JDM it’s just Kevin
Hollins really good I think people are saying I am not yeah I am not I like JDM and it sucks because I’m on the train
this is a tough one I was thinking about this Jack Della body shot KO hololens are over cans as well uh Kansas quitter
same exact thing happened to uh chiazza prior yeah man I like the other I do like Jack Della’s body work she has
always smoking I think I think if Jack wants to get a finish I think he needs to work the body
for sure yeah you know JDM never fought anyone like Kevin that’s for sure but Kevin fought a ton of dudes like JDM
Holland pieced up Jeff Neo to me third round yeah at 185 or no no
that might have been 170 back in the day that was like um Strike Force where where did they
fight at I don’t think it was like Bellator either um I see Jennifer Bella body shot
folding big mouth Alan beating Jeff Neal is all you need to see dude he’s a warrior he’s going to
take big shots but the thing is is like like Kevin Holland could come out and object Ella gets Reckless he could crack
Jack Della and just finish him heard him one time darsh choke boom you’ve seen ramazan and me throw him in the DARS
almost finished him um Holland ain’t that good homie he’s on
the SEMO Burger Francis Marshall badoya pleasure man yeah
oh Gary Come on Gary come on don’t be that guy here don’t be that guy here
come on Gary ridiculous I mean he I’m not saying he’s the next Champion but he
he’s he just named all these guys that never won in the UFC but Kevin Hollins won in the UFC and he’s he’s won and uh
170s look like an animal except again take away the 185. he’s taking every
fight because he wants to get money guys he if he’s at 170 that’s his bread and
butter he’s good you know Holland is too dumb for me he does fight dumb but I mean this one we
don’t have to worry about that he said John JDM was dumb as [ __ ] for jumping girl yeah yeah yeah dude that’s what I’m
saying if he even tries that on Holland Holland’s getting that neck yeah I’m I’m
with the dark choke Cody what’s a darts choke if it’s plus 3 000 I’m doing it ah
dude I need to go get in on that right we called it last time dude we should have we would have made we did it yeah
we are in the best bet show and we should have just done that I should have just been like you know what show Kevin
units you would have been back in the game back in the game I’m uh super
scared with this fight two of my favorite guys in the UFC I like them both too it’s gonna be good JDM knocks out cans all of a sudden he’s gonna be
hell and that’s what I’m saying like Colin is durable too I only got eight inches
I’m thinking I think he’s talking reach I think I think Derek Izzy’s Talk Of Reach here on Holland uh
Jessica’s down with him yeah yeah true that um dude mushroom with the 20 Dono he
said respect to two of the sharpest and realists in the community dude oh yeah appreciate the donation uh mushroom

did I get all the way to the bottom like that um Robert said if Kevin fights smart he should dominate this ain’t no boxing
match it’s MMA everyone boxes him Kevin King um and the man exactly like Kevin like there never been a way to beat him
is to go out not strike Kevin Holly that’s why he’s got the 81 inch reach and he hits hard man that dude hits hard
by scummies it’s a good fight but Nate appreciate that man and everybody I like

wanted you probably saw it online
I like it right yeah yeah Holland never been KO nope and he took everything from
Wonderboy jackets broke his hand and dude like go watch Randy Brown yes he
did hit Randy Brown Randy Brown’s got no Chin but dude Randy Brown was just piecing up Jack Della move around
piecing up inject Ella’s got the rain 73 inch reach man he’s out he’s got okay so
Kevin Holland man I think he holds up the only thing I’m worried about is in body shots I will say that now
yeah that’s how he has to win you know see I don’t know how I skipped
down like 20 comments somehow I mean yeah he does like game hit that’s for sure
yeah oh wait yeah so we already went through them JDM never fought anyone like Kevin
yeah yeah yeah yeah you already skipped through all these that’s what I’m saying yeah I don’t know
how that happened man um let’s see Gary what back to Gary’s [ __ ] talk you got another
one up there for me you never read the same one uh it’s definitely two two now now we’re
getting to some sense this is making some sense definitely too too referring to Grasso or chefchenko we’re about to
get to that too it’s about to be on actually let’s uh let me go through these room like I think uh
I read that one earlier but it is they’re both females it’s comparable yeah let’s go Holland beat yeah Jakarta
right there dude there’s a lot of Halloween jakar’s [ __ ] up check Della could you imagine what your car would do
to Jack Dela at 185 who’d take him down or rip his arm out why do I keep saying
jakar too yeah I know what you meant but yeah
[ __ ] alligator crocodile I think Alexa wins by TKO Chevy gonna avoid the
wrestling and get stuck by a better boxer truer word never been said grass still getting it done I can’t believe
how many people are suckered into bedding up oh come on dirty basketball yeah why so everybody’s high on JDM even
though he’s unproven an old tired I get really that good at all in the UFC
chocolate Ray and he was old time man he put some respect on chocolate’s name uh take that
guy’s Mexican guy take this guy’s bucks can go um he’s fought them and lost their journeyman yeah Grosso was tagging
Valentina and rocked her a couple times yeah if I was gassed in the third two is it dude the writing was on dude I bet
chefchenko and the whole time I’m like take her down take her down when she would get to take down I’m like yes bro she was getting
but she’ll be a little more prepared this time yeah I didn’t even see it man um journeyman like someone on a on a
journey sorry English isn’t my first language Kevin is gonna start soon that’s how I see it I really do think
that Kevin finishes him I really do because I think Jack Della comes in disrespected him a dude Kevin Hollins
got one hitter quitter Johnny K if Jack jacked out of the wins you need to drink a Bud Light obviously
this kind of a dog you want someone who has a better strength to schedule and a favorite who has a weak strength of
schedule JDM is very good but he would lose and bounce back yeah I mean this you take some losses you come out and be like oh [ __ ] I can’t actually I’ll box
everybody to fix some stuff up yeah it is it is Connor you’re not lying
it’s this is definitely the hardest call in the on the fight Holland doesn’t get knocked out ah here we go um it’s easy
kind of Holland decision hit me up Sunday let’s go Jeff Neal the waiter and he was working as a Hong Kong Jeff
Neal’s the man I’m happy we named off like eight to ten good Kevin Hall of
mine scary you’ve got you got it you got it after a while because Jack Della’s only got them on me wings I’m happy
Randy Brown that’s it you know uh uh dirty Reds is on the JDM I can’t blame
anybody for being on either side I I I’m talking crap but it’s going to be such a good fight man fight man um all right
there we go Connor I like it I just placed the bet on Kevin Holland I got him at plus 130. I haven’t posted it yet
but I like it man and then Kevin’s gonna be so much bigger and it’s gonna be a boxing match like
them dudes were boxing in a boxing ring I would take probably freaking Kevin then too like eight inches
eight inches of reach nice you know Gary
I am on drugs yeah facts there you go it is very close
we’re all on them Gary Freeman Gary Gary Machado let’s see
Machado bear um let’s see all right boys we’re going to get to
this because this is going to be crazy Alexa Grosso versus Valentina Chef tanker I’m going to start this one
up Alexa Grasso Champion Dog Warrior tough Mexican you know Viva La Mexico
type stuff naked choke phenomenal boxing
um what I really liked what she was doing in that last fight man I liked what she was switching to Southpaw and just piecing up chefchenko couldn’t do
nothing with her lead hand uh with grosso’s lead hand when she went to Southpaw dude her right hand was just piecing up uh chefchenko but she’s got
she she’s got okay takedown defense obviously like against most girls is decent shoshenko’s decent pretty good
wrestling you know especially different wrestling attacks so um she was able to get her down in the first couple rounds
but her Jiu Jitsu is good she never stops moving she never stops trying to get up and then um so she’s making
chefchenko work the whole time on that when they’re on the feet she’s the one coming forward throwing Combos and and
putting the pressure on changko like sochenko looked uncomfortable at every moment in that fight even when she was
on top just trying to hold down um Grasso except in the second round when she got to take down and then got the crucifix and all that like right away
she didn’t get really no damage off but she looked good there but other than that um I felt like chefchenko was like
backing up hold on for dear life in every round I’m like shoot for the takedown get the takedown because Grosso striking was looking so good
um then you guys chefchenko uh and and grass was five and oh it’s coming up the Flyway she’s looked really good here
she’s got excellent cardio excellent toughness she’s she’s only been finished one time but that’s by the by the real
woman go Tatiana Suarez who’s gonna be the woman goat when it’s all said and done but um Valentina chefchenko
obviously she’s the baby goat she’s the the 125 goat but man Gary I mean Gary
here’s where it look Gary should be coming in talking about Chef chanko’s record of who she spot with nobody at
125 dude that’s the worst division ever um but chefchenko is well-rounded obviously great kickboxing Muay Thai um
good kicks excellent spinning kicks chefchenko’s spinning kick it’s phenomenal
um sucks a what I don’t even know how to even say that but she does have good
boxing um obviously Southpaw she’s got good kicks good head kicks even you seem to get head kick Knockouts um good
wrestling she’s got decent timing on the double legs you can also do body lock takedown she’s got good Jiu Jitsu good transitions on top uh obviously super
physically strong but we can’t deny the fact that she’s 35 years old now she’s
been we’ve been watching her get worse over the last two years and not get she’s not getting better she lost Italia
Santos Natalia Santos ain’t even all that great she lost to her I don’t care what anybody says she lost Natalia
Santos and then she lost to Alexa Grosso I remember when I told you guys we did a live show and it was me you
Patty and somebody else and we were talking about chefchenko and I had a bet on her and I said I hope she wins and
then when she wins I hope she retires I was like because she’s 35 now you can tell like her legs have lost muscle if
you go look at her when she fought 2K again like three years ago what kind of shape she was in compared to now it’s
not even the same and then like like I said against Santos she didn’t look that great and then against Grosso she did
not look that great it was about to be two to two going into the fifth round if Grasso wouldn’t have got to choke and
actually submitted her and the round would have ended it would have been 2-2 going into the fourth with all the momentum on grass aside like like was
taking shitty shots in that that fourth round like shots from like six feet away just diving at her legs Grasso pushed
her away like I like Chef I like grass up here like here’s how I see it I see it like the Usman Edwards the second and third fight
where in the first fight Usman was fought the perfect fight was beating up Edwards that was his chance to win and
then Edwards got that that knockout right chefchenko wasn’t beating up grass so as much but she was winning up until
that point and then like I said even if she wouldn’t have got the submission that would have changed the momentum and made it 2-2 going into the fourth I
don’t know man I just think that that chefchenko is losing all their steam I think that um gospel is gonna get her I
think that uh Grasso is going to win a decision here and I think it could be like 49 46 maybe 48 47 because I’m not
dumb chefchenko’s gonna get a little bit she’s gonna take not gonna win four Cody here’s the thing chefchenko like I said
is 35 she’s not getting better what’s she go out and learn and got better what do you think in her 35 years in this six
months I will tell you what she will do better I’ll tell you Grasso she’s 30 years old
she’s the champion now she’s got more she’s gonna do better what do you mean the boxer
wrestling because she’s still 30 and she’s still at her gym where they only do boxing
she’s no she’s been training all over only do what you didn’t see the rear view
oh my God opportunistic grappling that exactly I forgot to mention that and and
that’s the last thing I’m gonna end with this is Grasso’s opportunistic grappling where you know it doesn’t matter it’s
not gonna happen this time because Valentine’s gonna win this fight because
she’s gonna be more focused when you’re winning and you’re winning and you’re
winning and you’re winning by Knockouts you’re winning by these crazy head kicks you kind of get a little hey I’m the
Champion you know maybe she took her a little bit lightly it could be but she was winning that
fight until opportunistic grappling came into play and I’m not I don’t want a dog Grosso
here she did a fantastic job and she won awesome well you also have to realize too re-watch that fight
the first round Grasso barely won that fight because she just landed like one or two harder shots damage it was a
close round round two and three were clear Valentina she was Landing the
better shot she had the better wrestling she was taking down Grosso at will no
fight at all there was no takedown defense at all which is a big problem in this fight for Grasso she’s not going to
be able to stuff those takedowns like any less that she wasn’t going to in in this fight Valentino is just the better
the better overall Striker she’s more diverse and she’s got the wrestling in
her back pocket that she can use whatever she wants I just think recency bias is a big thing
here like come on guys everybody was on Valentina the last fight let’s be honest
even you Cody I think you were on Valentina and you were like and then
Grasso won okay she’s gonna win this fight guys she’s gonna get her title
back no
can anybody give me the stats on one uh Champion talk to me when she’s like 38 years old
she was like she was literally density and stuff man she was literally Sean
Strickland strong Sean strickling strickling John John strickling I can’t
even say it never mind freaked my brain out I don’t even know I did I can’t even say it in my mind okay she was literally
yeah she was Sean Strickland ing
no she’s not I’m saying Valentino was literally Sean Strickland in her last
fight piecing her up the whole time until that spinning stupid bat kick happen even Grosso got a little bit of a
a lucky break when Herzog got him up for no reason in the third
round because valent or Valentina was doing ground a pound of stuff so to me I almost feel like it was a little bit
like hey we got to get Valentina you know let’s give Rosso a little bit of a edge because Valentine’s looking too
good right here I’m telling you this is gonna look crazy and Valentine’s gonna
win this fight I think it’s gonna go to decision though but it’s going to be 49 46 Valentina all day clear cut
book it right now buy the dip boys and girls buy it right now buy it she should
be minus 250 or higher this is a insane value on Valentina right now what’s the
last thing that comes to mind about Valentin shipchenko in your mind will I wake up
you don’t remember that minus 250 against the girl that just put her out I listen okay here’s another
thing because I [ __ ] I wake up for this [ __ ] I [ __ ] fell for this [ __ ] and I’m not gonna I fell for it I go
listen I go I watched I fell for it last time with [ __ ] newsman I go no he’s gonna come back out and he’s gonna do
the exact same thing that [ __ ] that’s a different fight at different people but listen I’m just different people the
betting reasoning I go he’s going to come back different styles I go he’s going to do the exact same thing as the
person too except I did yeah but this time though but when he went in there
what happened Leon Edwards made all the improvements now one time yeah but I’m saying and then
Camaro’s older and Leon Edwards like people can still be improving like everybody I can’t even I get it I get it
this is what I’m telling you they’re different Fighters I’m not even putting it in how old was Camaro when that
happened this just happened though that’s what I’m saying like nothing’s changed Valentina is six months older
who cares if it’s not like three or four years later you don’t you have he’s 38
years old there’s no okay she looked kind of bad in the Santos fight okay how
do you think Grasso will look against Santos I think she would beat Santa what’s up I
don’t think so what I’d pick Santos is not a finisher other than her Opera
opportunity grappling against Joanne wood and Valentina shevchenko he doesn’t
finish anybody Valentina is a finisher she can win by decision she can wrestle
she can strike she’s got leg kicks she’s got high kicks what does Grasso have opportunistic grappling and boxing and
she doesn’t really have the greatest striking defense either she was getting pieced up whole fight
rocked Valentina the first round yeah I mean she landed some good shots but you can tell she was getting out round two
round three and round four she barely won round one because she landed a
couple good shots in the cutter open right here that’s it otherwise it probably would have went to Valentina or
from uh wrestling though it doesn’t matter that’s why that’s why MMA baby MMA baby she’s got the better overall
game Valentina at minus 160 170.
he said he’s got grass dude there’s some weird grass don’t bet it because you’re gonna lose I
think comes in Valentino look like acid she was winning the fight until the spinning back kick what are you talking
yeah
maybe that’s true uh Valentina looks stiff as hell she was winning yeah
look at people coming to Jade and Grosso are you only doing Grosso is everybody
then why is she still plus money if this is so many people on Grassroots because one the one the one dude on Twitter that
bets real big probably went and bet chefchenko real big and Juiced up is his name gambo Andrew is it riding with this
baby but I’m telling you right now uh Russell’s gonna win this fight um see everybody
let’s go yeah we’re doing a should we bet [ __ ] yeah we got two units on at Valentino might have to get like [ __ ]
three shoes drink one out of a freaking Mexican shoe next week too and you’re gonna if I have a if I have a I’ll you
drink it out of a Russian Boot and I’ll drink out of a Mexican sombrero let’s
talk to like 38 for a woman it’s way older than 38 for male because she’s 38.
women’s she’s 35 but women start losing bone mass and osteoporosis and all that younger than men she is gonna be more
focused and all the pressure is on Grosso this time no all the princesses
she got nothing to lose like like a chefchenko if she loses her whole Legacy might be gone now you know what I mean
like Kamara Usman her Legacy is not gone she’s still a FlyAway goat look at what happened with Usman I was thinking he was the the 170 pound goat all this now
he loses the to Edwards twice and it’s already like uh what did he really didn’t you think that but didn’t you
just say that you know maybe uzman won that last one
the second fight no the third guy no he got B three to two clearly like like
like uh the younger Champion made more improvements anyway it doesn’t even matter it doesn’t even matter you can’t
even you can’t even like compare them together because one they’re totally different Fighters both of them you
can’t do it at all they’re not even the same so you can just throw that right out I don’t care about the sage agent
it’s a number maybe age is just a number baby come out with the same wrestling thing and their their opponent is
younger Cody Cody you’re you’re missing the point here who is the better overall fighter
it’s Valentina Craig said it Valentina grapple she will win he will win uh Pink
Freight said he agrees with 135. uh Grosso was beating her on striking
footwork value men was easily uh walking into it okay well I guess no one’s watching the fights and yeah looking at
the strike counts I guess okay whatever wolf tickets that Grasso already starts with a 63 edge with the age difference
Usman was injured um if it’s a close fight there you got
and now this time chefchenko has to take the title from the champ you know what I mean that that’s so funny don’t even
don’t even put that in there too but don’t you want a dog on Underdog
prices don’t you want a junkyard phone no like a championship level Junkyard
Dog no because I know who the better fighter is and if you’re gonna give me a minus 160 for the better fighter
everywhere if they was both 30 I would take chefchenko all day I would be like
she’s gonna go make improvements she’s gonna come back to me but she’s 35. we’ll get get ready to see exactly the
same thing except minus the stupid thing of like the the uh like Champions like
doing uh automatic turnaround getting their belt back I feel like this is just a baseball stack because you can make
any stat for baseball who cares I hope uh I’m just look at the tape if you look
at the tape you know who’s gonna win Valentina last time I seen Valentina she was
begging Grasso to not kill her she goes please don’t kill me I saw it and I saw you also pick Valentina as well so yeah
hey man I I learned you got to learn from your mistakes that’s the biggest come on about 30 degrees grass soap she
ain’t gonna win girl definitely Gary we can’t always agree we
gotta always does it we gotta we gotta it brings out good points you start thinking other stuff that’s why I enjoy
Gary even talking crap who was he getting me on all that the if Grasso wins
it’ll be greasy split a chefchenko win will be grappling clinch or brutal ground and pound stoppage okay or is she
doing the decision she can win either anyway he stops the wrestling and she beats up shrimp shank will stand it
clearly that’s all I think she didn’t gin do a last fight so how can you say that she can she didn’t win the Striking exchanges
look at the stats she put so much pressure on chefchenko that she had to wrestle the whole fight and then she finally got tired in the fourth round I
started taking shots game plan because she has the option Grasso doesn’t have the option she’s
grosso’s this week’s chepe number those are the facts oh Champion chepe really
worked hard to win that one all right put some respect on chepe’s name too plus 175 I got her plus one
let’s be honest Jack Jenkins was winning that fight until just a opportunistic grappling happened well it was about to
be one to one or one-to-one going in the third what were we talking about on that one too and the momentum grappling that
boy get your Wizard game down right uh that’s MMA for you yes you don’t mind
drinking beers out of shoes and I don’t like it you should have to drink will you send me one Craig
I ain’t buying one I’ll tell you that yeah dude uh yeah man get your money on
Grassle man let that line go up if you can yeah see just two cents I’m bringing in the real stats
though let’s be honest I like the overs I think the overs will hit don’t pick a side
I swear to God too because I might have bet the the fight goes to the decision they [ __ ] my Casino had it all jacked up
for the over 4.5 instead of like minus 130 there minus one I like that over I like the fight goes the decision I’m
looking at that as well I take minus 135 I think that is this as long as they ain’t gonna be a finish so don’t give
her no opportunistic [ __ ] traveling it’s gonna go to decision
see uh Cody that’s right but the older ladies can keep fighting because they’re not facing the strength and knockout
power men but like who’s the oldest lady that’s ever fought in the UFC that was [ __ ] doing that because I can give you a global done wrong but I’m saying
like who’s a 40 year old woman we see out here really do us oh is there a
firing firing whatever you say your name like 37 and she was doing the option close enough
she was bad yeah um but that’s true but I’m telling you dude that was a major thing go look at chefchenko’s thighs
from three years ago tonight that’s all I’m saying um I don’t like Grasso at all here but I’m getting a weird feeling they might
screw out on a decision if it gets there uh don’t forget they’re doing holy bet
based on grass so you’ll see Wisconsin to win if it goes to decision I think they’re doing it because Moreno lost and
they would have been all about Moreno I’ll be using them big ass words I get kind of confused Johnny I’m trying to
being confused I’m telling you who’s gonna win this fight
age is just a number not on that level though but I’m just saying the upper
level part at the lower level gender gender for gender that’s a that’s my
That’s Mike Valentino’s Telegraph as the fight went on yeah and she was still getting those takedowns
listen I think there’s a finish in this fight who gets it Valentina
opportunistic grappling Cody she Grasso has chance other than that it was a good win
for her I’m not taking it away it’s not gonna happen again she hasn’t finished anybody other than the opportunistic
grappling with Joanne wood pretty good it’s like one of her things
Calderwood sleeping wood sleeping uhenko spinning kick sleeping dude hurts okay
twice the craziest thing is when you watch her squeeze on [ __ ] uh Calderwood too her face is all white and
[ __ ] up like her squeeze must be crazy what sucks you know that so chefchenko
now these new shoes you were high as hell right now there’s uh there’s also
this that Val money line over the last 10 fights was priced nine out of ten uh she did wins nine out of ten exactly
Cody 11 fights in the UFC she has two
submissions no Knockouts and she’s a boxer yeah she’s gonna put them paws on that
she spot at 115 and 125 and she can’t get knockouts no she’s just piecing them up she’s a
choker opportunity
if you think she’s going to finish her why didn’t she just bet Grosso by myself I think she’s gonna box her up she ain’t
gonna win there’s no way Jeff’s got the KO abilities she’s got the sub building and she also has a
decision Equity I’ll take the minus 160 all day thank you God bless Anderson
Silva peak in that 35 and fighting The Matrix while everyone else at 35
Valentina starts to fall off cliffs uh proves why he’s the goal yeah I mean I don’t know a single girl that’s fought
late that like really good like I mean all of them like but dudes dudes can go
a little longer I like spider monkey too uh Yoder that
was my that was my girl for a while actually the older
are two and 24 and 26 [ __ ] rematches
I don’t care about that I know who the better fighter is it’s Valentina yeah but she’s old when you’re the women’s
flyweight it was both 30. okay see the goat oh yeah
yeah I was unveiled that’s what I’m saying but I learned my lessons I learned from my mistakes you did that
once too and you also lost ask me this if zero God is Sergey speedbo fight again ask me what wrong picking
yeah you’re probably gonna pick zero gone because you’re a switcher you switch it every time
well yeah of course because with the donut said Johnny is crazy Anthony is
gonna win I Know Where Your Allegiance live man was gassing after the third and Grosso is younger and Anthony Rivera
Medina I guarantee no Spanish blood at all I could tell you I know where it is Allegiance live this is just a good
honest you know comment and we really appreciate it I appreciate really for
real that is that is awesome and that’s that’s a right that’s the perfect super sticker there said seriously please stop
doing shoes yeah I’m gonna get it
mushrooms on grass so um I wasn’t bringing up he was on Val but I’m glad Johnny did
you need battery yeah but I mean I’m gonna call you out Cody come on man I
was on Gooseman the second time or third time against Leon I was realized like he’s good like Val’s gonna come in with
the same exact [ __ ] game plan and she used it perfectly the first time it didn’t work and just like Goosebumps and
now this time you can’t look at the uzman Edwards
thing yeah it’s a great comparison but you can’t it’s totally different uzman is literally like on his like on
crutches right now valentina’s not yeah she just took the fight a little less serious now she lost the belt she was
winning all these fights she’s won like 10 in a row before that or something like that and now she realizes this is
it she can’t lose this fight she’s the biggest doesn’t matter about the age age is the
number when you’re that high it doesn’t matter oh this has been a good show
well Holly is for yeah but Holly is like if you go look go look at Holly’s record Holly’s like three and seven in her last
ten fights that’s not even that’s not even a stretch if you go look Holly Holm is like three and seven in the last time
um you don’t gauge the age on outliers got to go off the media yeah and like
usually I wouldn’t but I’ve seen the digression in show Trinkle like now if I hadn’t seen like I didn’t see no digression in Kamara Usman so there was
no reason for me to be like in the third fight he’s gonna be a little slower and um Edwards is just going to be able to
stop the wrestling just a little more and that’s what I’m saying here like chefchenko ain’t gonna her striking didn’t get no better so she’s not gonna
be able to strike with Grasso like she wants to and then her wrestling’s not gonna get no better so the only one I feel like is going to be improving his
grass so she knows chefchenko’s game plan now Grasso could come out with a whole new game plan and [ __ ] up she
could come out offensive wrestling and start wearing on Valentina like a whole different but valentina’s unless she’s
just gonna stand and strike what’s the difference you are you are you are a reaching for straws right here there’s
no way is going to be never reach for straws I would never be sure there’s no
way grass is going to tell him out with a wrestle heavy game plan and no she’s
gonna do what she usually does and then it has all the options he can mix it up you think that you still will not she
will do what she does she will box and then maybe an opportunistic opportunity yeah
arthritis if you’re doing that uh do you think that the UFC wants the 35 almost
36 year old to become Champion again or do they want Mexico Champion 30 year old that they’re trying to build up Mexico
in that Kazakhstan or honestly I don’t think they care what the [ __ ] and there’s a whole UFC
made afterwards dude no I don’t think they care I mean I think it’s a win-win for either one that’s what I’m saying
they don’t care who wins it’s a win-win for both sides Effie’s right there um how old is Liz karucci yeah she might be
different she’s uh she might be an outlier she’s still one of the best yeah but that’s like wrong
yeah she’s not 30 years old Valentino but she’s not washed you’ve seen that you’ve seen digression though any
digression in the last two fights I think she’s had some tough matchup
especially against Talia that was a very tough matchup for her we need to we do we need to do that one time call one of
these Thursday night games just watch the thing afterwards we’ll get the U.S we can do it we could do it when there’s a break and then we’ll just be watching
this [ __ ] yeah a couple weeks uh Cody yeah I forgot you bet on Holly Holm yeah I
think I did what did I I did too I know I didn’t laugh against Silva maybe maybe
but you got to live and learn man I’ll go that oh I can’t believe I’ve been on that old lady that’s what I said right I thought I go God damn it he should have
won that uh Cody for what it’s worth I agree with everything you said in your breakdown of this fight I just think
Valentine Tina hasn’t fallen off as much as you’re implying as she will be laser focused she does look laser focused
immediately I’ll give her that and I’m talking I talk some [ __ ] because like I do like I just don’t think she’s there
yet she’s the more well-rounded fighter but I do think that the age is caught a really really I don’t think she’s there
yet though I get what you’re saying but I don’t think she’s there and I’ve seen a little bit of a decline I will say that but it’s not that much to the point
where I don’t think she can’t beat Grasso it was just mistake and Grasso opportunity
opportunity arose and she did great I don’t want to take that away from her at all yeah fantastic she got it done
amazing is she the first person she was losing that fight and she was losing that fight until I had the person who
ever seen Rock chefchenko chenko’s jaw gone we can Ching on because of her she didn’t get knocked down so I don’t think
she got rocked if she got knocked down what would happen and maybe yeah they always say yeah she did but she’s you up
for your thing you’re supposed to say she’ll get up again you know well no she won’t get up because she’s not gonna get knocked down in the first place
and still um let me try again how do you know you know he is
let me chime in if Grasso is just a boxer then how did she submit Val because she’s practicing her grappling
she has been this whole time with Diego Lopez you heard of Diego Lopez Karen
okay well good then Valentino will piece her up on the feet like she was doing for two rounds three three and a half
rounds let’s put it that way two naps are two what he was winning the fourth round
until that happened you see that that Drake put a million on chefchenko
I hope you put some money on chefchenko smash the like button these guys did their thing for us tonight smash it yeah
um I know Jenny’s got to work tomorrow oh she waited for about a spin and got her down she was just waiting for that spin the whole fight that’s her move
ain’t gonna happen this time so guess what no opportunistic grappling oh I hope she does but you see it again 24
out of 26. kept their title A lot of those are men just throwing it out there it’s
different are you sexist you’re being sexist right now no I’m just being honest I mean we you were just talking
about how often do we see 35 year old women and now I’m sexist okay
did I say that I called her 30. you did I don’t remember that you’re crazy
um Liz is one of the best let’s see all right um really really quick Bellator Bellator bombs who cares we got Aaron
coming up Jesus silver girls yeah and that yeah both yeah this is this division’s getting real good and when
when oh yeah there’s a lot there’s a lot of young flyweights coming up and Valentine’s not gonna be able to hold it
on for too much longer I’m telling you she might have to go up to 135. after this loss you think she’s gonna go
up to one Thirty no not a lot I think eventually she could and she could probably get the belt for a while
because 135 is not good old ladies they’re slow up there
I like that Hoover um other than the ones you said too
let me look real quick if I’m missing anybody um
I mean I’m weirdly confident in Jasmine I think she gets it done Jaden knows yeah and then Valentina obviously I’m
weirdly confident Jasmine or uh Valentina gets it done yeah I want I want her to win on a
Mexican Independence Day well you are going to get your wish Jayden you’re gonna get your wish I don’t think so kamuchi is okay but she was losing last
fight so she gotcha yeah she I mean she’s decent you know what I mean she’d be like top 15 in the UFC she’s still
doing her thing in Bellator but like that’s like the only one like if you really think about it who’s some old chicks that’s ever been doing anything
how old is she I mean she hasn’t fought in a couple years but she’s like 33 32 when she’s
doing it oh she’s older than that come on come on maybe she’s on all the juice though um it
doesn’t matter what YouTube Sean Strickland right there VCR repairman ain’t lying how old is she she’s 38.
yeah so when they was fine she’s like 34 when she fought Nunez and I mean she’s still fighting in Bellator she’s got her
ass whooped uh UFC once got to win yep uh what was
the chamber one the what channel oh yeah

Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov

The conversation started with a discussion about Islam Makhachev and his connection to Khabib Nurmagomedov. The hosts debated whether people subconsciously dock Makhachev in the pound-for-pound rankings because he is not as good as Khabib. They also mentioned that Makhachev has done a lot for Islam and expressed their desire to see him come back and face Charles Oliveira.

Mexican Fighters Parlay

The hosts then talked about a potential parlay involving Mexican fighters on the card. They mentioned that there are five fighters on the card with a Mexican flag next to their name on Tapology. They discussed the possibility of adding Raulian Paiva to the parlay, but ultimately decided to stick with the four Mexican fighters: Alexa Grasso, Zabit Magomedsharipov, Gilbert Burns, and Alex Perez. They mentioned that the parlay pays out at +239 and discussed the high odds for each fighter.

Mexican Food and Fandom

The conversation then shifted to Mexican food and the hosts’ love for it. They mentioned that they had tacos the previous night and expressed their appreciation for Mexican cuisine. They also discussed their fandom of Mexican fighters and their excitement for the upcoming fight night.

Tracy Cortez vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius

The hosts then gave their predictions for the Tracy Cortez vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius fight. They mentioned that they were leaning towards Jasudavicius because they were not fully sold on Cortez. They also discussed the size difference between the two fighters and the potential for Jasudavicius to have the advantage. They agreed that it was one of the most competitive fights on the card.

Alex Reyes’ Return

The hosts briefly discussed Alex Reyes’ return to the Octagon after a six-year layoff due to osteomyelitis. They mentioned that Reyes was a big underdog in the fight against Charlie Campbell but expressed their intrigue and excitement for the matchup. They discussed the possibility of Reyes pulling off a comeback victory and the significance of his long layoff.

mixed martial arts mixed martial arts how do we like our martial art no scho
stus Clos God I never know what what KY is
going to say but that accent was incredible wow yes the theme is no UFC
that is what is going down tomorrow night in Las Vegas the main event the rematch for the women’s flyweight title
Alexa Gro 6 months after shocking the world and absolutely emptying Jed
michu’s bank account will defend her title against Valentina shevchenko the woman she dethroned back at UFC 285 and
the closer we get to this fight the more interested I become thank you for joining us for the live noce UFC preview
show here on mmafighting.com I am mik heck we have the prince of positivity back with us Mr Alexander Kay Le talked
a lot during the weigh-ins wow he’s got that dog in him as well what’s up
AK uh I’m good I got a fresh haircut for no UFC I mean that’s you know what I I
had to celebrate I had to look clean for it and I’m excited with this card I had a lot of if you listen people listen to
the weigh-in show there’s a lot of weird little like little knits and things to pick at in this like fun nits fun nits
to pick at so I I won’t go over the again on the preview show I don’t think uh unless called upon well I might come
up in the questions I got a lot of facts Mike I got a lot of fun facts oo a lot of fun facts new haircut AKA ready to go
and also joining us Mr hot take Mr no gry area the winner of yesterday’s BTL
let us say hello once again to Mr Jed Mishu Jed how are we feeling on the eve of this rematch I mean I was feeling a lot
better I was having a great morning got out played around to golf uh shot in 85
despite not having the appropriate attire and being in a downpour and then I get on here and I’m attacked I am
personally attacked by by you Mike not my best friend certainly I don’t know we are we’re enemies now you’re gonna come
in bringing up old history Mike the past is for cowards you live in the past you
die in the past we are on to now and no UFC not things that happened months ago
we don’t need to go there that’s unnecessary Mike but leaping over these hurdles make us who we are today so it’s
important to remember those moments that mold us into the people we are right now right isn’t that an important part of
the not a champion mindset you have a show titled onto the next one because
we’re not looking back at what happened months ago we are on to noce UFC that’s
where we’re going Mike and then it’s on to like three Apex cards in a row and
then UFC 294 all right well I can’t wait to hear your breakdown of this fight after what
happened six months ago but AK we haven’t heard a gymnastics scale from you on these preview shows in quite some
time we have a title fight we have a very fascinating welterweight co-main
event between Kevin Holland and Jack Dela Melina we get the return of R Rosa Jr we have Tracy Cortez versus jasine
Jaz ofus this is kind of buried in the prelims lot of upand cominging prospects a lot of very big favorites taking on
Scrappy heavy underdogs in this card could be a lot of showcase fights where we at here what’s the gymnastics scale
for noce UFC I think we got a good rating here for you know what is a non- pay-per-view even though it is headlined
by a title fight I like the fact that they’ve booked several quote unquote squash matches you know I think I think
and we’ll get into those we’ll dive into those more later I do like the fact that um you know some of these are meant to be showcase fights for some of the
fighters who uh either the UFC is invested in or who maybe fit the uh
Mexican Independence Day weekend theme um because it also means there’s chance for upsets upsets are always fun too
right so you almost can’t go wrong either way hopefully we don’t have too many you know forgettable uh three
rounders or something like that but overall I think they’ve mixed this card up right I think you’re gonna get good
um competitive three round contest plus a nice handful of finishes there’s a lot of names on here
who I’m happy to see and happy to see uh that maybe haven’t fought in a while I’ll go it’s definitely over an eight
it’s definitely like a 8.6 I’ll go like an 8.6 I think that’s that’s how I think that’s how good this card could be um
you know if everything goes great good finishes great fights it’s not I don’t think it’s going to be a card that we’re going to be you know uh remembering a
year from now maybe but it could be one of the better cards uh by the end of the year we’ll see we’ll see how it goes Jed on BTL yesterday you threw out
one star on the Mulan scale as another day has passed and we’re a day closer to
this event do you remain with that score or maybe we added a halfar to this maybe
another full star where are we at no no no there will be no half stars in the Mulin system you get the star you
don’t this is a high you look that’s how Excellence is rated you know it’s not hey this is a one of the better one
Stars it’s you’re there or you’re not we draw hard lines in the sand and this is
a one star it’s going to remain a one star look if I was in Los Angeles or whatever I’m not making the trip to to
Vegas for this even with all the surrounding circumstances you have Mexican Independence Day and a fight
card in Las Vegas like that’s a pretty big poll not big enough for me to get in the car and drive you know four or five
hours and then have to go back I’m not making a trip for this but if I’m in Vegas the experience the lights you’ve
got a title fight a title fight rematch um for one of the biggest upsets in history and of the year maybe it’s big I
don’t I don’t know if it’s bigger or not than Strickland I know Casey’s been kind of dragging this up and it’s a a
legitimate point of comparison so that that main event is is certainly that like that’s certainly drawing you in and
then the co-main event um is like going to just be spectacularly fun that onew
punch right there is is really good enough to say man if I’m out I’ll take a break from the blackjack tables I’ll
stop donating money to the casino for a moment and I I’ll go watch this and then even though uh I your mileage for me is
going to vary a ton I don’t I think this is a two-fight card and there’s one or two other fights I have some interest in
but I’m broadly pretty down on the rest of it uh AK said you know they set this
up well and they probably did for their ends but like there are like three fights on this entire card that have
less than a minus 200 favorite on one side of it there are a lot of fights being set up for victories but even in
those and I may not care about the outcomes particularly that’s all being set towards The Narrative of here the
Mexican Fighters Mexican descendant Fighters doing this thing on Mexican Independence Day The Vibes are going to
be Immaculate and so this is a onear card doesn’t get the second but be happy with a one many cards do not get a one
famously UFC 293 did not get a star in the Mulan
system UFC is doing a great job with this event they created the new bell for Alexa Gro they’re making this a little
special they’re doing the ceremonial weigh-ins outside today so it’s going to be a different kind of a feel to everything which I think is very very
cool but Jed I want to go back to you because look I hate to to drum up old memories but you do host a gambling
podcast along with the great G talk and in lie of these bets you were going
to make and help the people maybe navigate them or at least let the people know what you’re going to do you had to
go back and rewatch this first fight I would assume right Alexa grao versus Valentina shf chenko it was a
competitive fight until it wasn’t till Valentina got the takedown got the fight to the mat got the submission and it was
all said and done Alex Gro is a new Champion so going back and rewatching that fight from six months ago
what did you take away from it what did you learn from that fight that brings you into your thought process for this
rematch on Saturday um I think it’s pretty likely that Valentina
shevchenko is Pastor Prime um that she is beyond the most like the best of it
um which honestly is pretty reasonable given given where she’s at in her career uh I don’t know if it’s gone up on the
site or not I I wrote my weekly gambling column about this and like one of the pieces on it was obviously about this
fight and it’s uh look in a vacuum I probably would still
pick Valentina shevchenko to win this fight but I’m really not even certain of that anymore I think certainly at her
Highs at her best she was a better fighter than Alexa Grasso but I am
really not confident that she’s that anymore because I want to pull up the exact number because I I did the math on
it I crunched the numbers the data um I was talking earlier this week frankly
about Israel dis and be like he might have have too many miles on him you know he’s got 13 14 15 years of of fighting
experience and literally like 115 fights or something across boxing kickboxing
MMA uh Valentina shenko has even more of those uh she has been fighting
professionally her first MMA fight was in 2003 so quick math that is over 20
years that she has been fist fighting professionally which is um the St in she
has 133 fights to her name that we can
that I could confirm across kickboxing MMA boxing like there are very likely
almost certainly more of those uh that were not confirmed as far as kickboxing bouts
go generous ballpark of 150 150 fights
is a lot of professional fighting like it’s just simply an annoy enormous amount of combat and eventually the bill
comes due time takes its toll and I I think we probably are starting to see that some with her I was very
surprised um how much grao was able to compete with with shevchenko physically
in the first fight that was where I thought that that fight would not be competitive you know grao is not a bad
boxer but um she’s not like a super finishing threat obviously we saw what happened um but you know there there
hadn’t been a lot of tape to prove that that was really viable for and instead how that fight broke down is
Gro was winning the Striking for the most part I think chevchenko settled in a little bit did a little bit better as the fight wore on but chevchenko went to
her wrestling pretty quickly because Gro was getting the hands on her being competitive in that range and and
forcing chevchenko to go to the path of least resistance which for her has always been that I mean she did it to uh
Jessica Andra and several other women she realizes that she can get a body lock toss you and she’s actually quite
good on the ground and that’s where she went coming into this rematch I
mean officially or at least on paper even though she lost parts of it Gro won
the grappling overall because she finished her and she was winning the Striking exchanges and there was
chevchenko was being forced to fight a fight that she didn’t really want to do maybe she had an off night um maybe you
know she just super wasn’t prepared for the looks Gro is giving her that’s always possible but I’m more likely to
believe that she’s getting a little bit older she’s been at the top for a really long time it’s impossible to stay at the
top of this sport for a long time because there’s so much tape people can game plan for you specifically like grao
did and Grasso’s this is the time you know she she’s about to maybe not put
together a run because I think some Challengers will beat her but she’s going to cement herself probably uh with
a win here tonight or sorry tomorrow night and then shevchenko is just in that spot you
know AK what’s been interesting this week is I was curious about I mean The Vibes are
like Jed said are Immaculate for this entire card but I was wondering what the Vibes check would be for both of these women because Alexa is coming off this
huge win and winning the title and Valentina is coming in sort of in a rare place where she’s coming in off of a
loss not only that but a loss where she was finished and lost her title so I was wondering where the mindsets were going
to be heading into this card on Saturday Alexa Gro just cool calculated but
confident at the same time even throwing some little Jabs at Valentina saying like hey you thought you were the better
Striker but you shot for takedowns pretty darn quickly and then Valentina looks like she is ready to fight 400
Alexa Gros she looks like on a whole other level she looks like she has that chip on her shoulder that she had
heading to the Jess onra fight and then even talking to John anic yesterday he was saying that normally when they have
these fighter meetings and these fighter interviews with the commentators and the fighters Valentina shevchenko gives them nothing but said this week was totally
different she gave them a lot more she’s motivated she’s fired up what have you made of the build to this rematch
because usually it’s two very respectful people there’s not a lot of back and forth but this week a little bit different a little bit more intensity
for this one yeah I love it I love I love that uh both them are getting to show more of
their personality uh they both have you know we both we know they both have plenty but sometimes depending where you
are at your in your career uh you’re more or less comfortable showing it off right like Alexa Alexa Grasso I think
for a while there she had to be a bit more uh restrained as she was coming up through flyweight because there was some
like you know when she was a mega hype strawweight remember when she was like 21 22 years old coming up through
Invicta coming up 115 um I think uh you
know eventually it’s the pressure started to pile up in her a bit she started missing you know missing some weight losing against some of the better
names of the division and I think at that point is when you kind of have to take a step back as far as like um you
know how you’re going to deal with the media and just kind of focus on you know the more of the things that you can contr control and I think that’s what we
saw as she’s coming up to 125 but now that she’s really establishing herself as the best flyweight in the world I
mean she’s got the gold around her waist she beat the best before her she beat shevchenko yeah she seems relaxed she
has the Swagger of a champion uh that that doesn’t happen all the time you know some people don’t
Embrace that uh Ros namajunas is a great example she never quite I think she enjoyed being Champion but man she has
spoken openly about the pressure and like not enjoying it as much and um you think she enjoyed it I think she hated
it I mean I I think there was moments where where I think she liked the the respect that came with it I think there was a lot of um you know I think there
was a lot of prestige came with I think she enjoyed that but but again she also was very open that yes she hated being
the hunted I think she much more enjoyed being the Hunter and Grassle right now seems very comfortable being the hunted especially uh since the one that’s
hunting her someone she’s already beaten so she she’s relaxed and cool as you said and and that’s the way she should come off she’s kind of the young she’s
the young fresh Champion um but not arrogant you know not arrogant that’s the tough thing to do
shenko yeah being in Terminator mode is just perfect it’s kind of like what we all want to see from her the jokes I
mean when she had the butt were that she’s this secret agent she’s a she’s a you know she’s just an assassin um and
she was like that in the cage and and uh you know could be a little reserved when it comes to
interviews um but yeah I’m glad we’re getting to see the side of her that’s clearly you know a little irked a little
irk that maybe uh some jokes like us in the media are saying her best days would be behind her and uh you know that she
was so that she was clearly beaten in the first fight she certainly doesn’t seem to feel that way you know other than the Finish she’s like well if it
had gone to you know if it gone she feels if it had gone to like a fifth round that she would have been up three rounds to one which I don’t agree with
um but I think that’s that’s how she was looking at in her mind if I had Wheels I’d be a wagon that’s exactly someone
should tell her that right uh so yeah I love the vibe check is great both ways I
don’t see anything in either it’s not like last week where we were a little I think we we all started getting a little concerned about Izzy uh he just didn’t
seem to be his usual self he seemed a little bit off he seemed a bit exhausted to be honest and and maybe that played
out on on fight night but I don’t get that sense with are these women I think I think Alexa is super prepared to
defend her title I think Valentina I don’t know if we can see the best of her for the reasons Jed said
she’s just got a lot of mileage but I think mentally she’s in the right place I don’t think should she lose on
Saturday I don’t think any of us are going to say oh well Valentina wasn’t prepared and Valentina wasn’t I think she is prepared uh I just think that she
is now dealing with someone who is the best flyweight in the world but you know we’ll get we’ll get to our
exact predictions uh soon enough yeah she went back to Thailand and just
immersed herself in in danger pretty much for three months straight getting ready for this fight just a lot of time
over there with the killers in the room it’s not a bad place to go preparing for this fight AKA I wanted to go back to
you because we T I talked about this on BTL I asked John anic this question this is a question that was posed on heck of
a morning and I thought kind of at first like this was going to be more like one sided the other way but I continuously
go back to this question because Alexa Gro is the champion Valentina was the long reigning Champion already just got
finished in in March who needs this one more because you can make a case for
both women Valentine obviously wants to exercise the demons and get back on track and prove that you know this was
not gonna say a fluke but you know how some reads can be in the Fallout of a rematch we saw with Juliana Peña we saw
in other circumstances as well or is it Alexa Gro because we’re going to prove
this isn’t a fluke I want to prove him the best flyweight in the world and if she beats Valentina shevchenko not once
but twice like this is massive for her who needs this one more Grasso needs it more um I don’t
know what valentina’s plans are after but if I was her win or lose I’m going up to 135 and and in either of those
scenarios um it’s sorry and in the scenario of course where Valentino wins
and then just you know vacates the bell and goes to 135 that would really suck for Grasso because essentially it would
give Valentina the you know the more recent win uh you know la la last shot wins as they say and uh Alexa wouldn’t
get her wouldn’t get her rematch even if valtina stayed at 125 I don’t know if they’re giving Grasso the immediate
rematch I’d be all for it I’d love to see a Trilogy I just don’t know if that’s where they would go right away so
the so if if if grasa loses she’s not getting a title fight next
if Valentina loses I think she can go up to 135 right away and challenge Whoever has the belt or if there that title
fight still isn’t made challenge for the vacant title so Valentina has options a lot of it does depend on whether she even wants to go up to 135 it’s possible
that that’s not the cards for her she might want to spend the rest of career fighting at 125 it is maybe her ideal weight class um but I I do and I do
think I don’t know even if Alexa Grasso loses I don’t think people will call the first fight a fluke you’re going to have
a small minority who do that but you’re going to have a small Miner who do that every time a longtime Champion loses and they don’t give credit to the to the
Challenger so I I don’t think it’s it’s that I don’t think it’s going to called a fluke but kind of like what happened
with Peña uh it will in her in people’s minds like firmly cement her behind uh
shenko unless they got a third fight which I like I said I don’t think is going to happen um and that sucks and
that sucks like that’s not the way it should work but shenko will how had the stronger resume depending what Grasso does going forward so I think a lot of
the person on Grasso I don’t know if shenko I’m sure she’s DET chermin to win the belt back I’m sure she doesn’t want to
leave 125 and a loss if she even decides to leave um but I don’t think there’s
just much pressure on her her her reputation is what it is it’s it’s cemented and I don’t think anyone is
would be disappointed if she lost to a considerably younger less shopworn Challenger uh a second time could just
be this fighter hasard number we’ve seen that we’ve seen that in history too we’ve seen greates uh lose to guys younger fighters who just happen to have
their number and uh ideally it doesn’t hurt their their stock in the long run
what’s the better result for business Jed bishu Valentina getting it back maybe a Trilogy fight letting Aon blanchfield man and fioro settle who the
number one Contender is once and for all or is it the new guard officially taking over Valentina goes on and does other
things maybe moving to 135 maybe she just fights Rose Nami Unis and just a bigname star versus star kind of a fight
big name versus bigname kind of a fight and opens things up in different ways what do you think is the better result
here for businesses Valentina winning um I would also personally like to see it
because uh I to sort of piggyback off what AK was saying um I think if Gro
wins this won’t be considered a fluke because people uh in this space have a particularly difficult time wrapping
their heads around like what flukes are and if it had been like a knockout then
they would be like okay but if it quote unquote feels more skillful that she took the back and choked her out so it
won’t be looked on like it was a fluke but it will be looked on as hey that’s um you know that’s not a thing that
would happen all the time and that would be great for me because it it would just
drive home a point I’ve been trying to make for years which is being a champion is the hardest thing to do in the sport
Defending Your belt over and over is the most difficult thing the sport has to offer because there’s a lot of tape on
you and people prepare everything and look Alexa grao was losing this fight but she studied the tape and saw that
Valentina spins and when she does that you could take her back and choker and it would just be like the most condensed
selling point of that whereas if Gro wins uh the narrative shifts pretty
quickly to yeah shevchenko past it I mean the fight before this she had to really get a little bit lucky and dig
real deep to pull a win off over Tyler Santos and then she loses her belt and loses again like this is that’s just the
inflection point of her career she hit her Peak and now she’s on the down slope and that just becomes the narrative um
whereas if she does at least reclaim the the belt uh I I think we get a little more play there uh certainly her
reclaiming the belt is better for business though because if I’m in Valentina sh chano’s Corner Su Chevy
truck let’s talk um if you win this fight you should not fight Aaron
blanchfield maybe you win maybe lose I tend to think you lose shouldn’t fight her again you could probably beat
manolia row too but what are those doing for you your legacy set in stone you already the lost to Gro already sort of
prohibits you from getting in to that Anderson Silva Demetrius Johnson rarified Air of double digit title
defenses so let that dream die go get the second belt because I feel like you
should be able to beat Julian aña since you’ve already done it or Rocko Pennington because no disrespect to
rockel Pennington it just feels like a fight that you can win if you win this belt go up make your play for a second
belt and you can retire in there and you can leave 125 to this new crop of contenders maybe grao gets to fight a
tit you know fight uh the winner of blanchfield furo for the title you get to do that and that that seems like the
best business opportunity because there’s so many fights coming out of this whereas the other way it’s Gro
versus probably blanchfield but maybe furo at this point um which is okay and
then yeah I think they probably would do Rose versus Valentino which is a big fight but it’s not as big as Valentina
fighting for a second belt against whoever so best for business Valentina get in the dub
all right I mean you guys both make interesting points in different ways so real quick and then we’ll make our picks
true or false AK this is the last valtina shevchenko fight at 125 pounds I can’t go a hard true on that I
I wish I wish because I just don’t feel like there’s anything for win or lose or anything left for her to do at 125 and
again she could easily is so disrespectful to some of the fighters at 135 but women’s 135
is a pretty disrespectful Division if we’re being honest all right and it’s not their fault I’m not the Fighter’s fault it’s the it’s the promotion’s
fault for uh you know not building up more and I can’t even blame the promotion that much it’s it’s the
world’s fault for if you’re an athletic woman who who is in the 135 and U range you’re probably gonna go play another
sport let’s be honest with ourselves um so yes I I really before it’s all said then would like to see uh Valentina
return to 135 I know it’s not her ideal weight class I know she was only competing there because 125 didn’t exist
for the longest time but if you’re her team you got to let her know like there’s opportunities to be had there
maybe she can’t beat julana pñ again I think she would maybe she can’t beat Rael Pennington J maybe she can’t I
think she would but it’s certainly much more interesting than seeing her kind of circle the wagons again at 125 with
especially with how young and good this division is getting um it’s just such a
harder if she loses it’s such a harder climb to get back up there and if she wins it’s just makes her the target up
against some really potentially great uh flyways now she wants to test herself in that way that’s fantastic um but I would
like to see go to 135 but I won’t I won’t go as far as to St I can’t guarantee it I I think there’s there’s that element of well stay at 125 and um
because it’s it’s just it’s the way it’s the her best ideal weight class it’s where she’s comfortable fighting and she does one or two more fights before I
don’t know either retiring which would be fine or uh again maybe making a delayed move up uh delayed return to 135
but I don’t think she’s done what do you think Jen final fight 125 probably not um
I would like it to be um but I don’t she doesn’t seem wired that way I mean this
whole week I I have a lot of concerns about her approach to this fight week and what that says about her middle state but armchair psychology is um uh
suspect at best my ability to why why though because the coming in the like
I’m really angry that I was winning that fight and it’s nonsense that you all think this n
I’m coming in here to to retake my Throne that feels a touch performative
um and that’s it just feels like again I could be dead ass wrong
I’ve been wrong many times in this but that just feels like she is grasping it internal straws for something to get her
there because she’s not there you know um that really hasn’t largely been how
she’s approached stuff like this um and so I I don’t know uh un unclear how I
feel about it um I just think it’s probably not great but yeah also all of
that feels like she’s going to stay at 125 win or lose if she loses I mean I
guess she could go up to 135 but she would be losing because someone beat her not because she can’t make the weight or
her better weight class is up so it doesn’t totally make sense to me um and I think that she probably still has a
bit of that no I’m actually the best I I’ve lost twice and that’s un like I don’t I don’t know why that happened but
I need need to prove to everyone I can win and by that same token if she wins even though I think it would be a bad
idea um I feel like she has that intensity to her to be like there are
other women and people are starting to think I’m not it because I showed weakness because I lost people are out
there saying Aaron blanchfield is the best flyweight in the world um even my long Defender the original driver of the
bullet train Jed Michu is saying Aaron blanchfield will beat me I need to beat this woman to show it and so I think we
are probably going to have at least a few more fights with her here even though I wish this would be her final one win or
lose all right let’s go to the picks here uh lines are much different than the first time around AK Valentina
shevchenko the favorite minus 166 as we speak right now the comeback on Alexa Gro the champ plus 140 who leaves
T-Mobile arena with that beautiful belt wrapped around their waist you know Mike I love that plus on
Alexa Grasso but what I love even sorry I got to look this up I love even more
Plus on Alexa Grasso by decision plus 350 plus
350 that ain’t bad and that was honestly pretty much in line with uh how I was looking at this fight probably when it
was first announced I I I really there was a part of me that was you know thinking about the first fight and how
well Valentina still performed yes she lost but it was it was a better performance than the tyus s fight right
where we’re very critical of her last two outings and rightfully so the Tyler Santos fight some people thought it
robbery I don’t agree I think I’m fine with the Valentina score but that said she did not look good you you cannot
make an argument that Valentina looked good in the Talis Santos fight you can say she won you can certainly say she
won on the scorecards but she did not look good and she had much better moments in the Grassle fight but then
she straight up lost that one um so there there’s there’s a lot of reason for concern there uh so at first I I was
telling myself like maybe maybe she bounces back newly motivated best version we’ve ever seen best version we
can possibly get at this stage of her career but I also think we’re going to get the best version of Alexa Grasso that we can get so far and I still think
there’s even more room to grow there for Grasso I think she’s trending up and up and up and up I think what she showed in
that uh first fight with Valentina is just a glimpse of how good she is I think at this point in their career she is the better Striker not talking about
technicality but just talking about the benefits of Youth being able to pull that trigger uh athleticism Edge stuff
like that I think that’s makes the difference in the Striking match up we saw in the first fight I don’t see o be different this time around Tak down
defense is certainly uh a question I I can absolutely Envision shenko going
back focusing even more on the wrestling this fight and grinding out a decision that way but I’m I’m confident that Grasso will work her way out of those
situations should have come up so I’m going Grasso and I’m going Grasso by decision don’t bet on MMA but if you’re
like me in in case you throw on small Wagers uh that grass up decision is not looking bad so that’s my call
M Jed you shook the universe when you revealed on no bets bar that you were
placing a bet on Alexa Grasso instead of Valentine shevchenko after what happened in the first fight but I understand your
reasoning behind this because this is a value play more than anything else because you feel that at best or at
worst this is a 50-50 fight and if it’s a 50-50 fight you might as well take the value where you can get it and there’s
some pretty good value on Alexa Grasso here but let’s just say the odds are completely even if it was a absolute
coin flip it was 50/50 in the betting window everything’s all the same are you still leaning Alexa Gro or are you
leaning Valentina shenko official pick you’re
muted sorry I I punched it in topology so it’s in it’s official um look I every part of my
brain says Alexa Gro is going to win this fight um but I’m I’m going to go
down with the ship you know um I’ve already gone down financially why not go down you know spiritually emotionally I
have been I would say the biggest Valentina shevchenko supporter um on this and many websites basically since
day one I’ve been riding with with the Chevy truck and if this is the end I
mean look I staunchly despite logic and reason and
any level of sanity kept picking BJ to win fights at the end of his career I
got Dennis Siver if the old BJ shows up Dennis Siver isn’t very good he could beat him nope uh I’m going to keep
riding with with Chef chenko until the wheels fall off so uh I have a bet on Alexa Gro I have a smaller bet on Alexa
Gro by decision but straight up picks give me Valentina shevchenko by
decision man I still don’t know like I honestly even sitting here right now I have no idea
like I’ve flip flop I flip-flopped every day I flip-flopped like four times today CU I just don’t know what’s going to
happen here how dumb will you feel on Sunday like if if either outcome happens
which one will you feel Dumber about being like yeah obviously well I felt really dumb being
so confident in Valentina the first time and I felt really dumb being confident in Al Jamaine Sterling and I felt
incredibly dumb not believing in Shan Strickland at all and all three of those
individuals proved me wrong and I feel weird if I doubt Valentina shevchenko in
any way shape or form having said that I do this I do feel like this fight’s
gonna go long and despite Valentina have having a
lot more experience with five round fights I kind of feel like Alexa’s game is built better at this at the stages of
both of their careers for five rounds and just hearing what Alexa is
talking about that even if she’s down 2-1 or 3-1 heading into five like I
still feel like she she’s not going to get rattled by this situation I still feel like there’s confidence there that
she can go and get Valentina out of there so it’s a Vibes pick I’m going to Alexa
Grasso to get it done and just to be a little more exciting with all of this
I’m gonna say a comeback fifth round submission
win she Subs her again this time in round five to to keep the belt but I’m
leaning Alexa grass to get a super late finish here but tomorrow I could like on the people’s pre-fight show I could
literally say Valentina shevchenko that’s I’m teetering on this but I think if Alexa wins I do think she’s gonna
finisher Mike speaking of the people ran a poll just who wins the rematch it is
close it is narrow Gro won the poll uh 53% so not it is narrow man I mean
people are seeing this as what it is this is a proper rematch this is a proper head to the betting Windows 53%
[ __ ] 53% I think I think I think people are reading it the right way I think even the odds make sense as much as um
as Jed and I are very happy with the value that you can get on a Grasso bet I think it speaks to how highly people
thought of Valentina before their second fight uh you know her dominance during her run but um man uh we got we got a
lot of smart viewers you know that I think our viewers are the smartest people in the uh in the industry and they’re saying Grasso 53% I’m just
saying y’all uh the odds currently have Gro 140 it’s like
42% to win so some of y’all need to go go pull up draftkings.com use the code
MMA hour uh and let’s get that line a little tighter because if I can get plus money
action on Valentina too and I can have it stopping and going that’ll be great and you don’t have to be cute like us
and go decision guys I mean plus 140 like straight up Grasso if you think she can get a knockout sub again that’s not
bad either you know you you don’t gotta be cute like us anyw pays out plus 140 for GR so you know it’s not bad
draftkings.com code M yes there’s a lot of value there and there are a lot of people out there who
feel that there’s some good vetting betting value on one Kevin Holland as he
gets ready to take on good old Jackie three names Jack Dela Melina very interesting fight at 170 JM AK had a
tough time getting into the Octagon he had fights scheduled opponents fall up out had an opponent Fallout for just
pretty tough reasons the day before International fight week comes back takes on a newcomer and gets tested a
lot of people some people out there still feel like Jack Del L lost that fight I am not one of those people but
it certainly brings up a lot of questions heading into this fight with Kevin Holland so biggest question you
have about this fight whether it’s on the JDM side or on the Kevin Holland side and do not ask this man if he wants
to fight for a world title because clearly he doesn’t care about that let me add he also had trouble making a
little bit of trouble making weight today Mike uh at the weighs he needed the box of what proved to be Redemption
but I also think he got the Las Vegas commission uh that uh extra probably
0.2.3 pounds off it was a very clear Casey and I were watching it was a very clear okay they brought it the Box he’s
looking at it the scales still moving H 171 close enough and hey if that’s if
everyone’s getting that benefit then I guess it doesn’t matter right that’s fair but yes he did have some trouble making weight not not a small
welterweight not like a huge welterweight but healthy healthy sized guy um the biggest question for me is uh
I guess it’s not related to this fight directly I I’m I couldn’t get a great gauge and I haven’t been able to get a
great gauge this week of how much did that Haz fight um
Dent uh M Dela melena’s reputation in the eyes of the fans eyes of critics as
far as like his his uh potential as a future Contender because because for me
it’s like I I didn’t okay I didn’t love his performance in the fight either but a few things one I think Haz is better
than people are giving him credit for I think because he was a late notice guy maybe they thought you know JDM should
just ran right through him but I’ve said Fighters have said before and I believe it that there is something about uh
being the you know being the guy on the other end of the short notice call right it is someone he probably doesn’t know a lot about probably wasn’t super prepared
for I mean he got taken down in the first two seconds I I get the feeling maybe he didn’t know a lot about Huff
so I’ll give HZ a little more credit for that um and then uh the other thing to say to say is how much do you credit
someone for cutting out a win in those situations because I actually like to see that I think sometimes when a guy is
put in a a position where it’s like oh wow he should have Domin this fight but he didn’t but then still got out with
the win that to me is like mostly a positive uh I felt this way kind of about hamzat and Gilbert Burns very
different situation very different Fighters very different Stakes but I remember some people saying that is wow he got exposed because he couldn’t
finish Gilbert well for me it was like Gilbert’s tough as hell and the fact that he probably didn’t fight his smartest and went you know hammering
nails with Gilbert I actually thought that was really good like made me think more highly of khamza so that that’s my
question I I don’t know where people are with JDM uh I’m undecided I’m undecided so those questions that I just brought
up I’m still asking myself I’m still trying to figure out I I don’t know is he a clear-cut like you know give be a
top five guy by you know uh the end of 2024 or heading into 2024
or um did we see kind of a bet did we get a better glimpse of his ceiling in that fight so that that’s what I want to
know and Saturday uh the Kevin Holland matchup is perfect and I think it’ll help to answer a lot of these questions
or at least at least push us in the right direction Jad you’ve had thoughts about jm’s performance and it’s not the fight
itself that you question because you know all these opponent switches multiple weight Cuts Like all that could
play in and sometimes you just don’t have your fast ball and you go in and get a win but you were more concerned with some of the decision- making in the
fight the fight IQ that you saw in jm’s most recent win if he goes and Shores
that up and just runs over Kevin Holland tomorrow or wins at least a pretty
clear-cut decision or finishes Kevin Holland where do you place him in terms of the welterweight up incomers because
I know you’re very high on Ian Machado Gary after UFC 292 I know you’re very high on JDM before this fight does JDM
kind of get back in the good graces of where you see his ceiling if he goes out and performs like he did like if he
fights Kevin Holland like he fought Randy Brown and just gets him out of there will you feel will you go back
will you course correct I don’t know if I’ll course correct I mean it it will certainly be a
a a big step for him because yeah um I get what AK is saying and in general
like you do like to see that about fighters who can overcome adversity and battle through it um my biggest issue
with that is he created like all the adversity to overcome and so I don’t
know if I should give him credit for dogging it out and winning a tough fight when he’s the one who made the fight
tough like he just wasn’t dumb it would have been fine but he kept jumping
Guillotines and that’s not even me saying it his Corner was telling him during the fight dude stop doing this
it’s bad and he just kept doing it and like yes opponent switches and that it
not the same dudes but that is very concerning when originally the opponent he was preparing for and had the most
Camp time for was Shawn Brady so like this isn’t like he went totally from hey
here’s a dude who’s not going to take me down to hey here’s a dude who’s gonna take me down like there’s there was some
prep time going and he just felt committed to an offensive strategy that
was really really bad um and that like that fight alone made me entirely
reevaluate him because yes I mean uh Jackie 3 names has been a sensation
since joining on uh the UFC and he’s got good wins like the the am the Randy
Brown Danny Roberts like those are solid wins but his you know this was a bad win
right like and I think basil hofus is better than people thought and and credit to him for making that fight but
that is fight IQ is one of the most like daunting things in the world because
honestly sometimes you just can’t you can’t fix it like a lot of the time you can’t look look at Josh Allen everyone
for the last three years has been like Josh Allen is awesome and he is but Josh Allen’s whole thing has always been at
his core he is a reckless Reckless man and sometimes that leads to three picks
and losing to the New York Jets who don’t have Aaron Rogers Jack Del M Elena appears to be a reckless Reckless man
who’s gonna dive on Guillotines when he is hurting his opponent on the feet I don’t know how to square that but he
fights Kevin Holland and Kevin Holland nobody really runs over Kevin Holland
like Kevin Holland is a very tough out for just about anybody the only time Kevin Holland has been stopped in his
career by knockout and you know that’s I think what everyone expects is Stephen Thompson in the fourth round with a
corner stoppage that he was still ready to keep fighting in so look if Jack Dela comes in and puts the hands on him um
that’s going to go a long way to making people forget but it has totally scared me off him and honestly makes me really
concerned about this fight because Kevin Holland’s really tough and Kevin Holland can mix things up and I don’t if Kevin
Holland’s in there and jawing at him and doing the talking thing Jack D was willing to jump Guillotines on a dude he
was clubbing on the feet what’s he gonna do to a dude who is like actively provoking him is he gonna fight really
stupid like I don’t have any idea so I think this is great matchmaking I’m excited what we’re going to learn but um
I I will reserve my judgments until after because I think this fight will tell us a lot about who Jack Dela is and
where he’s going may I may I pose a question Jed regarding the repeated use of
guillotines sure what if what if it had worked look think about that think about
that s simmer on that for a second look Dustin poier uh was probably the closest
anyone ever came a to beating khabib and he wasn’t all that close um as far as I
was concerned watching it and that’s the thing like uh I agree if it had worked
it would be great but that’s kind of um the thing with desperation gambles is uh
the proof is in the pudding and so if it works it is great but when it
fails it’s bad so and you know that going in and he I assume did I assume
it’s not the first time he’s ever jumped a Ghillie um but only Dustin porier can get away with jumping ghillies and I
won’t totally make fun of them for it because he’s branded it um if Jack tell a Brand’s jumping the Gillie recklessly
then maybe we can talk but um no it’s a short answer
AK Fair also does he have he doesn’t have a successful Guillotine choke in
his resume which also really begs the question of why well well question two
but what if he did if he did um look if he did if that
had locked in that would have been great fight IQ but it wasn’t because true true
if I had Wheels I’d be a wagon yeah I mean if you want to use reality as a
gauge for your evaluations then I mean by all means go ahead but you know I’m just saying if Jack Del comes out here
and hurts Kevin Holland on the feet and then Kevin Holland shoots a half-hearted takedown and and Jackie 3 names jump Sig
Gilly I’m out forever like I’m out forever on him as a prospect what hold on can we check quickly what is JDM by
submission plus 1600 plus 1600 he has like the one that
came against Randy Brown and also cost me money because submit any yeah he didn’t submit
anybody it was like Vulcan [ __ ] pulling that out of his uh on on NOS bar
this week we were going back and was like actually um Carlos olberg by TKO which I bet and then random RNC comes
out of nowhere the week before that Vulcan o deir by KO TKO pulls out the
random RNC we can go three weeks in a row of guy who has one career submission
ruining beding slips for no reason I’m just saying I’m just honestly
you probably should bet Jack Dela by submission he’s probably going to jump a gilly he’s probably going to get it and
I’m going to have people in my mentions being like Oh fight is bad like it is
it’s dumb you shouldn’t do it I am now rooting for this harder than anything I’ve rooted for all year you should bet
on it I so is that your pi2 $2 a $2 bet
gets you $34 back I’m just saying I’m just saying uh I am no I I should I’m
I’m picking Holland to win I’m picking Holland to win uh not because I think JDM is bad not because I think he was exposed in the Huffs fight I think
Holland’s good I think Holland is it’s it’s hard to we didn’t even talk about
the quo fight enough like talking about gauging someone off their performance kesa just did not look good okay we we
can all agree I remember we were in our slack going like man is is he just like is he injured or is it has it just his
has it has his time come as far as like him his mile the amount of mileage on him he did not look great you know just
K did not look good in that fight and T to his credit what did what he had to do won the fight um and I I I think think
Holland is even better than that performance show because again I don’t think we saw a great version of quesa so
he’s a bit of a wild card at 170 talking about guys being contenders I don’t know how I feel about Kevin Holland but again like talking about
people getting title fights like Sean Strickland I really see a world with Kevin Holland somehow fights his way to
a to a Welterweight Title shot and if I believe that then I can believe that he’s gonna beat uh JDM on Saturday and
I’ll go as far as to say Holland by knockouts oo all right I don’t know
about round I don’t know what round I just got a knockout a Holland by knockout feeling Jed I know you went to the AI
people you went to the you went to the technology for this and chat gbt says
Jack Del Melena gets it done uh 50-50 proposition are you going with with the
uh with technology here are you going with Kevin Holland I mean you’ve got to trust the robots I mean uh Mike the
robots are 11 and five this year I just had to confirm that um I mean they’re
just they know they know things that we never can know um they they nicknamed
him uh the hammer out of nowhere um they knew that Kevin Holland’s nickname was
Trailblazer um but they were just like Jack the hammer Dela Melena uh and who
am I to argue with Skynet um couldn’t be me so I’m I’m going Jack Dela uh I’m
going Jack Dela by decision I I thought um coming into this fight I’d pick Kevin Holland I think he does present some
very interesting challenges for Jack Dela but the robots Mike it’s it’s just a robot so um by decision because Kevin
Holland is tougher than a $2 stake um so I I don’t think Jack Dell is gonna get
him out of there but when he jumps a gilly in round three uh you guys can add me and and have your day in the
sun I’m going JDM by decision as well but I ain’t confident at all I don’t not
confident in either of the the picks that I’ve made here but so we clear JDM by decision plus
300 oh it’s not a bad B right there on draftkings.com use code promo code the
MMA hour there you go uh most intriguing
storyline outside of the top two fights AK Mike where do I begin where do I
begin I love some of the weirdness in this card I’m going to cheat here and I’ll be quick about it and throw out
some of the weirdness Mike we got two Mutant matchups we got two matchups that exist on this card because everybody
everybody else that was originally booked to fight have two of them fell we have two of them one I’ll
go yes the easiest one to explain first a middleweight about kopov and Fred
kopov uh stepped in for Chris Curtis FR stepped in for Anthony Hernandez so this is Curtis versus Hernandez and now it is
morphed into kopala versus FM easy to understand the other one is so much better the cansen man one is so bizarre
this was at least Reed versus cynthy cavio Once Upon a Time that’s that was a
fight that was booked Cav sh is this the same fight thank you this is yes this is
the the ship of thesias of fights uh is this still at least Reed versus cyia Calo philosophers will be debating this
for centuries I don’t know I think I think we should put it on both of their
resumes uh so Calia with true she was replaced by uh Jasmine lucindo then Reed
got moved to the belt with lupy which is now on this card because lupy was supposed to fight Sam Hughes Sam Hughes
withdrew and then to take Reed’s place in the matchup uh against lucendo uh
what they called in kuten not nutsen yep but then uh lucindo withdrew and was
replaced by Marik BL blinded by the lights man so that’s just awesome I love that so much uh I love mutant matchup we
have two of them I think thesis’s ships matchups are even better uh Jed I may have to change to that I don’t know why
I never thought of that before and then I mean this is as theis ship as it
gets the crazy the for me the I don’t know I want to know who’s betting on this fight because I don’t know where to
go with this uh Daniel Lera possibly going 0 for five and maybe becoming the
first fighter in UFC history to lose all five his UFC fights by knockout or submission he was the patron saint of
flyweight unders last year uh he was just guaranteed to not make it past the Midway point of the second round he’s
he’s got a decent match up in in in kyz like if if I didn’t know that he had lost four straight fights I’d kind of
like leera’s chances here but he’s understandably a pretty big Underdog based his UFC results but uh yes a small
handful you can count on one hand I think literally five Fighters have ever gone 0 and five in the UFC throughout
their career and Daniel Lera can join that list so thrilling stuff don’t
forget we were supposed to get D Rod versus Santiago ponzano on this car we were supposed to get shaar Man versus
Kevin G on this card too AK I’m go ahead Jed I’m diving into this AK
and if I have this right and I believe that I do this could be a
record-breaking event because Elise Reed obviously is is now um fighting Lup gz
she lose to lupy godz that’s tough however if yosephine nutson loses to
McMahon I think that means elast Reed goes 0 and two on the night because I
believe man is the thesis’s uh ship replacement part for at least Reed and I
think it’s uh I think it’s nutson who is the replacement piece for Cynthia Calo
so Calo might pick up a loss not competing this weekend and Elise Reed might be the first woman in UFC history
to lose twice in one night sure there there are still uh pieces of the spirit
of Elise is still in the the the opening fight you’re the original matchup this is yes is still El leas Reed Cynthia
Calo that’s what’s at stake in the nuts and Man fight wow what a what a different way to
look at things uh let’s look that makes it way more interesting have you watched tape of Marik Manon she’s
awful God great nickname the saw off Savage is a fantastic nickname but also
I mean like it might be loow hanging fruit but if your name is Marik man it’s already lit
and marck is like you should just be manic marck man like it’s just a much better fight nickname even though I like
the sought off Savage like I think that’s a good nickname oh and John anik said it was kutson the K is not K
ksen that could be the case um Swedish SW K is not silent yes she is uh I’m
from the south so we’re just gonna bot things sometimes got yeah if anx says
cansen Canen it shall be yes uh Casey we’ll take a few questions
we won’t go crazy because we do have the people’s pre-fight show tomorrow and that’s all we’re going to do is answer I
have a question for Mr Jed shoot explain your so you said CH jenko off a loss
should go to 35 correct yeah I mean I just don’t know why you hang around 25
that’s less Al likee it’s just like what are you going to do at 25 you’re not going to get back I mean you can maybe
fight for title again it’s just who cares at that point at least moving up to 135 you get a win or two maybe you
can pursue a second belt and add that to the mantle so yeah I’m more I’m more talking about the the I was just
surprised you s you suggested that only because I know it’s not the same exact thing but the whole vinoski thing him
trying to do two- weight classes what’s the difference here with Chef jenko because clearly you saying if he loses
or well well that’s why I guess I was asking shenko you think when on on a loss only she should go to 35 is
that what you’re saying no I think either way she should go to 35 because I believe win if she she beats gr you
think she should go up yeah because I think she’s accomplished all that can be accomplished if she if she had not lost
I would say stay because the goal for me would always be chase after Anderson Silva and Demetrius Johnson 11 title
defenses is I a number that I genuinely do not believe anyone gives enough respect to it is UN believable that
those happened like that is I it is astonishing and so if that’s in play you
should be chasing that the whole time like that should be your full Focus because I just think that age is better
and is more meaningful um shevchenko is out of that conversation now the lost to Grasso means that that she’s cooked in
there so she can bounce volkanovski in my opinion should just be focused on chasing that down chasing down Jose Aldo
chasing down that number because like when a second belt it a lot it has cach
a but there are two people who have have double digit title defenses in UFC history there are eight to division
Champions one of those things is more difficult than impossible to do and I I
frankly respect it more and think more people should so if vul loses then as soon as vul loses if he does at
featherweight bounce immediately bounce and go pursue the second one but for me I I have always thought that just try
and rack up as many as you can because that is a substan more meaningful metric by which your career should be viewed
okay I was just kind of curious I want to get a little more in depth on it totally fair question and yeah again if
shenko hadn’t lost to Gro don’t like maybe just because the Nunes fight
would have been big but with nunz retiring I own this division
forever oh actually one more one more question the fighter who puts up 12 title defenses like that’s just I can’t even
fathom that as a as an event that is so astronomical be that one like that’s who
you should try to be is a motivated a motivated Valentine
chevchenko is that GNA be a thing soon do you do you think there was just a lack of motivation because we get this
we we say that the JN Jones a lot that no that’s why he almost lost Dominick Rays that’s why he almost lost Thiago Santos he wasn’t motivated do you think
that applies to Chev jenko at all I I don’t think people are going to say that about Valentina because I think with
John because now this week because this week everyone’s saying oh valentina’s got to get different intensity now you know I’m just I’m just kind of out there
just a different intensity but I don’t think that there were suggesting that she was not motivated before I mean you’re going to ask that about any
longstanding Champion but with JN it manifested itself in tangible ways remember he was getting trou with the
law we the PED stuff like there was there was so many cracks in the Jon Jones armor that we we had to CH
specifically spoke it into the world sure sure sure I don’t think Valentine
would ever admit something like that even if she that was the case heading into the Grassle fight or the Tyler Santos fight or uh any of her previous
fights so I I don’t think it’s as strong a narrative as it was some with someone like Jon Jones uh Jon was a little more
transparent both um intentionally and not intentionally look if if shenko comes
out wins the fight and says afterwards I was um doing hookers and blow in Vegas
and that’s why I lost Alexa groer ever I I would then believe uh
that The Narrative of motivation may come in question but uh no I I’m with AK
on this one don’t clip that particularly because part of her stick has always been like I respect all of my opponents
they’re all the hardest people I’ve ever fought blah blah blah yeah the the only time I can
remember Valentina like with this I don’t know if anger is the right word
but definitely a chip on her shoulder was before the J gon Dr fight because a lot of people were like oh from IA one
round maybe she’s already lost the fast ball oh Jess gondra is a killer she’s knocking out everybody like she could be the
one she killed Jess gandra that was that was probably the best performance of
Valentina shenk’s career she pitched a perfect game against someone that very few people to that to that point no one
had really pitched a perfect game like that against Jess Andra and she just it
was just Pillar To Post eight minutes and 19 seconds Valentina just ran her over that was the last time I can
remember her coming in with this much intensity she also had a spectacular showing against Lauren Murphy yeah that
was really the peak of Valentina if she comes in and does that to Alexa Gro um I guess I’ll feel a
little dumb that I ever doubted her and yeah I’m wondering too is this going to be seen as a um an Amanda nuda Pia type
thing if she dominates where it it was clear that’s why I I agree I think everyone agreed thato has got more
pressure on her because she doesn’t want to become the jul the flyweight Julia
AIA she just caught the champ on off night I guess she needs this more I I
agree the more the more we talk about it the more I completely agree her legacy’s already set now it’s just can her Legacy
get better she’s already Hall of Famer she’s already the goat flyweight so uh yeah cool cool Casey I assume you
already have a question queued up but I do want to make sure we get to to Carol man 91 I don’t know if you see this one
um if Grasso wins is she the fighter of the Year let’s go for it yeah I I well I
saw it because it just made I I remember I think we actually had this discussion
um between her and Strickland I’m assuming yeah it might be exactly it’s
like between her and stricken at this point and theoretically you would give Grasso The Edge because like well if
they both pulled off you know big upsets but if Grasso does it twice then surely she’s the fight of the year but I would also say I view the Strickland upset as
bigger at least in the moment um so she could be fighter of the Year Jed you
don’t like it because you you don’t want to make you don’t want to make someone fighter of the year if they just beat the same person twice absolutely not I
think it’s um I think it’s impossibly dumb your same reason for not wanting to put vul over uh Jose Aldo because like
three of his wins are all no that that was ma it was Max Holloway over Jose Aldo
it was Max Hollow beating Jose Aldo twice to win fighter of the year um just don’t like and on the max one was like
super clear this one there’s at least maybe more argument depending how the fight unfolds but like Max he just beat
Jose the exact same way it was an identical fist fight for the most part like cool you we knew after the first
one that you are an awful style match up for this dude and you did it again like it’s just uh give me a variety of
opponents it will be an incredible achievement for her to be Valentina shevchenko twice um I she at this point
probably isn’t even in my top five I’d have to really think about it but she’d be in my top five she would be in my top
five she might crack five but if Jon Jones beats Stipe it’s gonna like honestly I think the I think the case
will be Strickland versus Jones and I would probably still lean Strickland Strickland Jones and then um honestly
the actual correct answer of person who had the best wins uh would be Islam
makev if he beats Charles Oliva or conversely Charles Oliva reclaims his title and beats makev and Benny derush
those are the two best wins anybody has this year and like all three of those would undeniably for me be ahead of Gro
um and so like yeah I she’d be the female fighter of the year I guess but
yeah for sure I would say that she should not be in this conversation realistically it does feel more compelling when you have like other
names in there right cuz we should remember it wasn’t Strickland um beating a dis he beat uh ovov I’m pretty sure he
was the underdog in the ovov fight I could be wrong that proba was at 205 too it was but I mean on five days it was
essentially a middleweight fight essentially middleweight fight right just guys actually I strictly I remember stri well whatever that’s that’s that’s
in the past but I remember strictly saying I don’t know why he took that fight at such a heavy weight because he but but remember imav is not is not a
light heavyweight either right so it was they’re both middleweights right they’re both middle didn’t cut weight right so
there’s and then he he destroyed Aus me
medov so Casey I’m totally with you on that but there is definitely part of this like with all of these sorts of
awards across sports that is narrative and the idea um in January that Sean Strickland would be here like that adds
some juice to his case yeah all right turn of the Year Sean Strickland was off
the betting boards for end ofe middleweight champion and now look at him like that that gives
you some ju actually if if anything Strickland is without a doubt I mean it sounds weird saying it fighter of the
year and breakthrough fighter of the Year considering where he started and where he ended if we still did breakthrough I would a th% be voting him
for breakthrough fighter of the year um I will probably not be voting him fighter of the year the winner of makev
ol is going to be my fighter of the year I’m like 90% sure of yeah right now
strick’s the front run because those two wins are better if makev beats volkanovski in the fight of the year and
then again dummies Charles Ola it’s going to be really hard for me to say anyone had a better year than that and
conversely if Oliva dummies Benny darush who everyone thought was the second coming and then reclaims his title by
beating the top pound pound fighter in the world it’s also going to be very hard for me to say he didn’t have the best year in the sport yeah Charles for
me be number one if he’s if he managed to pull off that that win in the rematch Charles number one easily I don’t know
but and but it’s weird I don’t know if I feel the other way though though I’m not sure why you’re right Islam in that you’ve always been an Islam hater you’re
on team Charles no I just want to see khib come back and lose to Charles Ola it’s still possible it’s still in play
it’s still in play khabib has done a lot for Islam I also think that there is
this part of our heads that is like he’s not khabib and so people subconsciously
dock him in like the pound-for-pound spot because it’s like well we know that you’re not as good as a be because
that’s literally what was told to us the entire time look how great he is he’s almost as good
as abib all right uh and for the betters by
the way oh by the way sorry someone in the comments says Islam got worked by vul he got worked by vul settle
down that one the guy that won got worked four rounds of that
fight settle down sett Islam won four rounds of that fight um it was a great
fight fight of the year uh what’s the Mexico parlay I mean that’s pretty easy
you take all the Mexican Fighters and you parlay them together there are five uh fighters on topology with a Mexican
flag next to their name you can expand it if you want to add you know uh R roses Jr who certainly um I think he is
like I just can’t remember is he like was he born in Mexico or is he born in America his parents are Mexican he rocks
the the sombrero and the flag like he is definitely representing Mexico um and
then he’s no he’s born here he’s born in the states was he born yeah um but his all his fights were in like Tijana right
like when he’s 18 uh Tracy Cortez Mexican heritage um like that’s so you
can get up to like seven of them I personally have parlayed the Mexican favorites because I didn’t want to
Parlay Alexa grao on top of already betting her and betting her by decision prop um so I I just parlayed up zel
Huber Padia um chyz and uh godz so just
the four leg no no no uh no Junior no yeah no just those four legs I left thr
Rosas off um but plus 239 is what that pays out on that four legger pays out um
again lot of very big odds I mean Goden has minus 425 all the other legs are minus 2 uh
218 250 minus 290 it’s all pretty high pretty high juice adding honestly adding
roses Jr turns it from plus 239 to plus 281 because it’s a minus 800
favorite it’s just not worth it that’s what you’re saying it’s really not worth it well yeah also you know I’m just
going with the Mexican flag on topology that’s who I’m deciding is Mexican um
for this one sure yeah man I like it
yeah it’s fun parlay I’m you know get up uh I’ve got a busy day tomorrow so I
wake up you know maybe maybe do Mex me for lunch be nice I’m going to the Atlanta United game before the event
Lionel Messi’s in Atlanta going to watch him probably put the boots to us it’s gonna be great there you go sorry cool cool all
right we’ll take one more well there you go will you guys be eating Mexican food on Saturday for the fight
night I mean it’s not a bad idea never Tac we had tacos in the heck household
last night so I I live in Gardina California so yes there we there’s no no
shortage of good no shortage of Mexican food in my neighborhood I mean that that’s the
dream that’s just the dream Mexican is the greatest of Cuisines I’m I’m of that
opinion it’s pretty damn good you got you guys are you fans of fla big fla fans
not a huge fla fan also that’s a movie quote that I can’t remember um but it’s
not bad but it’s not my go-to certainly I’m a big respect the pl uh I respect it
you know Custer Custer baby but it’s not CRM you
know questions questions people questions I think we’re good we’re I think we’re good I think we’re good AK
wants to keep talking AK is committed to discuss do you have a question that we
need to answer uh your mind I have a question yeah um oh wait actually maybe
you guys maybe there is an answer why is Roman kopov fighting Josh fmed on this card what does that that’s one of that’s
one of our mutant matchups that was Chris Curtis was supposed to fight Anthony Hernandez and then kop replac
Curtis and friend replaced Hernandez so okay okay I guess having fluffy okay
I’m in on that now like that’s just such a standout weird fight so that’s another uh boat of thes ship of thesis fight by
the way is this is this still Chris Curtis versus Anthony Hernandez you tell me I don’t know oh actually can I get a
prediction from you guys since we didn’t talk about it real quick so I think this fight is super interesting Cortez versus
Yas I don’t know how to say it Jasmine Yas
yish um I’m going to assume we talked about this on noet SP I’m leaning
towards uh Yasmin just because I’ve never been all the way sold on Tracy
Cortez and I think she’s going to be considerably smaller when they’re standing across each other like in the cage I think that’s probably enough but
um as one of the most competitive fights on the card at least on paper certainly so yeah yeah I was not not I was not a
Yasmin I I didn’t believe in her until I saw what the work that she did to random Maverick so I even though I think I
think it was an off night for Rand Maverick but regardless Yasmin did it and put the boots to her so I’m actually
um I’m I’m kind of I’m about to jump on that Yas man hype train I’m kind of if that version of
she yeah she has I I just I just didn’t I think did she start in UFC off of a
loss did she get her butat K Hans she beat K Hansen and then Natty Ice gassed
her up but I mean it’s Natty Ice you know that’s that’s Mike’s favorite fighter
yeah it was kind of before we knew who she was too yeah yeah if if the version of her that beat Maverick shows up on
Saturday I think she handily beats Tracy Cortez but I I don’t know I I I’m very
um I’m very hesitant to get behind Canadian I hes even say I guess she is a prospect
Pro yeah she’s only been fighting for three or four years I mean she’s only been fighting for three or four years she’s 34 if you I know 34 years young 34
years young uh she only been fighting since 2019 you know so um I’m hesitant
to say Prospect she’ be a prospect according to Ultimate Fighter 31 guidelines she could still fit in there
uh so I I I don’t know if I’m just reverse jinxing and I you know I don’t want to put my heart into another
Canadian because we just haven’t had a big like a big hitter in a while um but
I do think the best version of her beat the best version of Tracy Cortez right now it’s hard to know what to what what
you’re getting from um Cortez after coming off such a long layoff ja jazza just that pace is gonna
be a problem for a lot of women in this division she doesn’t stop like even that like Natty Ice kicked her Natty Ice
punched her and kicked her in the face seemingly a thousand times and just kept
coming uh and I don’t think Tracy had Tracy certainly doesn’t have the Striking prowess to to stop Jasmine now
could she take Jasmine down and kind of lay out her and beat her up down there and just hold her on the
floor sure she’s done that to a lot of people but if she can’t if she doesn’t have a lot of success late in this fight
wrestling Jasmine’s just gonna kind of intro way back I could see Cortez winning the first round getting a
getting a takedown after a pretty even start maybe winning the first round and then maybe in the second round she tries
for another takedown Jasmine stuffs it and then she starts turning it on and then jasine just keeps running downhill
from there so I’m picking Jasmine too I think there’s value on her um from a
betting perspective as well but it’s the third best it’s the third most interesting fight on this card for sure
it’s the Main Event co-main Event it’s this fight the one more one more fight I want to shout out one weird I kept
forgetting I almost forgot to bring it up during the weigh-ins and I almost forgot to bring it up now the return of Alex
Reyes uh people probably don’t even know don’t even remember he had one UFC fight
he fought Mike Perry This was six years ago ex it will be exactly six years ago when he steps into the cage on Saturday
night September 16th 2017 almost 2200 days on the Shelf he has been dealing
with osteomyelitis uh osteitis bone infection uh I’m not a doctor that sounds pretty
serious to me I’m glad to hear he’s taking this time off but he was a 30-year-old man when he made his USC debut he’s 36 now he’s one of the bigger
underdogs in the card and he’s also facing a guy who’s pretty pretty like decent in Charlie Campbell a newcomer uh
coming on a short notice who’s who’s actually fought for some decent organizations so I understand why he a big Underdog but this kind of a fun
little wild card pick here um Alex Reyes the older brother of Dominic Reyes maybe they’re just giving him one more fight
because he’s been under contract this whole time and you know if he loses then it’s Happy Trails or maybe we get a nice little little comeback story here I I I
honestly have no idea what to expect here I just know Rey a monster Underdog Campbell’s a big favorite and uh I’m
glad it’s the second fight of the night because I’m I’m intrigued I’m intrigued to see how this one’s gonna go shout out to John Ray MMA on Twitter who uh
reached out to me to uh inform me a true fact that I have since confirmed uh the
last time Alex Rey has fought uh Valentina shenko was still competing at
bantamweight she had not dropped crazy to 125 to start her title rign the last
time Alex R stepped into the cage because that didn’t happen until 2018 so uh that’s pretty
nuts yeah I don’t know what I don’t know what we’re going to see I don’t know it has he just been you know has this time
off just been actually really good for him while he recovers from this this condition and he’s in Peak shape for a 36y old you know not a lot of mileage
for a 36y old fighter and then he’s going to you know shock Charlie Campbell or is Charlie Campbell uh again even
though he’s coming on a short notice I think someone who’s going to get he was going to get picked up by the UFC sooner rather than later or at least get a
contender series shot um is he going to just you know do what he’s supposed to do and take care of business here against a considerably older fighter I
don’t know but fun fun one for the second fight in the prelims the entirety of one of the most
dominant runs as Champion he has been gone for that
is good luck buddy I hope you do well might have come back for the beginning of her second dominant run who
knows I guess find out that’s a new gambling thing going forward Alex Reyes maybe he’s the maybe he’s connected to
Chef jenko’s dominance somehow J it’s gonna be it’s gonna be an interesting fight it’s gonna be an
interesting fight Charlie he could beat Charlie Campbell sure I like Charley Charlie’s fun exciting
guy but wouldn’t it be something if Alex re in the second fight of the night and I’m picking it to happen too
my typology pick will be Alex Reyes third round come layoff six comeb back
finish Charlie Campbell 108 him in the first round but Alex just battles up and then comes back and chips away and
finishes Charlie Campbell round J wasn’t even born
yet I did I did the math he wasn’t even born yet Che your math we actually did did
say this on Nob BET’s board he was in like the sixth grade um also didn’t you say that
Charlie C didn’t you say that Charlie Campbell’s entire career fighting career
has happen hadn’t even started yet yeah so Charlie campell’s entire amateur and professional career has happened during
this layoff all of it Charlie campell’s amateur career started in 2018 so yes
because Rey’s last fight was 2017 like he’s all of it happened it’s absolutely
nuts Mike you just had a brilliant idea I hope our friends at tapology a very very good website right um will allow us
to add a a comeback multiplier for picks and be like this one’s going to be a
comeback um because I think you should get more points on tapology if you correctly predict a comeback that’s just
heroic I’m the guy who said that taiu iasa versus Alexander volkoff was gonna
end in second round Ezekiel choke during the watch party before that fight even began now I
mean your powers for good but it’s gonna be Charlie Campbell’s gonna like look
good he’s gonna have Alex in such trouble then Alex is just gonna battle back because he’s been through worse
he’s been through worse than Charlie Campbell punching him in the face and what a moment it’ll be he’ll set the tone for a very fun noce UFC card going
down tomorrow people’s pre-fight show leading into the card and perfect exit
music everybody this is absolute fire absolute fire also shaa to all of our
Jewish Watchers woohoo yes sh well we’ll

Noche UFC Best Bets: Grasso vs Shevchenko 2 Breakdown

Noche UFC Best Bets: Grasso vs Shevchenko 2 Breakdown

Summary:

In this article, we will be discussing the upcoming Noche UFC event and providing our best bets for the fights. We will be focusing on the matchup between Alex Reyes and Charlie Campbell, as well as the fight between Josephine Knutson and Marnick.

Alex Reyes vs Charlie Campbell

Alex Reyes is making his debut in the UFC on short notice, and he will be facing a tough opponent in Charlie Campbell. Reyes has shown vulnerability in the past, and Campbell is known for his finishing ability. With 13 finishes in his career, Campbell has the potential to catch Reyes and secure a victory.

While Reyes may have the opportunity to surprise people and turn back the clock, it is unlikely that he will be able to withstand the damage that Campbell can deliver. Campbell is the more experienced fighter and has shown his ability to finish his opponents. Therefore, our official pick for this fight is Charlie Campbell to win. However, we advise against parlaying him at -440 odds. Instead, we recommend keeping an eye out for prop bets, such as early round finishes or a knockout victory.

Josephine Knutson vs Marnick

Josephine Knutson is set to face Marnick in what should be an interesting matchup. Knutson is three years younger than her opponent and has shown good fight IQ in her previous bouts. However, she has struggled to capitalize on opportunities to finish her opponents.

Marnick, on the other hand, has not been impressive in her recent fights. She has shown weaknesses in her striking and has been vulnerable to being finished. Knutson’s proficiency in grappling could be a key factor in this fight, as she has the ability to control her opponents against the cage.

Despite the high odds of -575 for Knutson, we believe she is the safer pick in this matchup. However, we advise against betting on her at such steep odds. Instead, consider parlaying her with another fighter or looking for prop bets like over 2.5 rounds at -210.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we believe Charlie Campbell has the advantage in his fight against Alex Reyes. Campbell’s finishing ability and experience make him the more likely winner. As for Josephine Knutson, she should have the edge over Marnick due to her grappling skills. However, we caution against betting on her at -575 odds. Look for safer betting options like parlaying her with another fighter or exploring prop bets.

Remember to always gamble responsibly and consider your bankroll when placing bets. Good luck!

welcome to Chronic combat conversations a live look at our Best Bets picks and
predictions for every UFC event with your hosts TB scouting MMA and the guru
back again for Noche UFC aliba we’ve got
Alexa Grosso defending her flyweight championship against The Perennial
flyweight I mean she’s up there right I mean good Lord Contender Champion
forever go we could call it Flyway goat let’s do it let’s let’s go with goat Valentina the bullet chevchenko awesome
Mexican Independence Day Card cannot remember the last time they did a fight
night with a title fight it’s been a long time I’m thinking maybe a fly white title was done on a fight night but
before we can get into my ramblings and this unbelievable card we actually got
El Chapo out of prison sprung them out out specifically for this pay-per-view
they locked them up for robbing The Bookies we got best fight picks in the house Dan Levy
dude my buddy thanks so much for being here man my pleasure man I don’t know
about this year but last year definitely um but it’s funny because I just read that El Chapo’s wife got released from
prison and when they asked her you know trying to get like some details she said that she had no idea that her husband
was a drug lord and she had never seen him do anything wrong so that’s a keeper right there that’s a keeper that’s how
you you want one that’s ride or die yeah I was gonna say a pause I ain’t seen
nothing what are you talking I have no idea what marijuana smells like what are you I don’t even know how could I
possibly have told I love it or is it Danilo Cavo kante
recently recaptured a lot of excitement here anybody down to do the time for
their man like I’ll drink to you all right so anyways here we go before we get completely off the rails it’s noce
uh Guru told us arriba baby let’s get it popping before we do that though the one thing I do have to ask if you haven’t
done so already please follow our amazing guest host Tonight Mr at best
fight picks on Twitter half the battle podcast on YouTube he’s amazing one of The Inspirations for starting our show
uh and please if you haven’t done so already you’re already here please throw a like on the video I know that not
everybody in here has done that so far and please if you haven’t done so subscribe to the channel we’re so close
to 500 been putting in the work for so long consistently and all we ask but listen we like we love to have a good
time uh but you know help support the free content uh aside from that now that I’ve bored everybody let’s get to what
everybody came for we got the Flyway Championship rematch
we got Alexa Grosso La Loba versus Valentina bullet chefchenko oh man
cannot wait for this one I mean listen you got one of the biggest simps out there when it comes to Alexa Grosso in
TV scouting MMA so I’ll put it that way but I I did take the shot I was a little sketched about it I did take a small
little shot last time in their matchup the line here though we’re at plus 142 Grosso minus 170 chefchenko over four
and a half and minus 160 under four and a half at Plus 124. I think this is more um more Alexa
Grosso territory I think a lot of the tentativeness that we saw in the first fight from the
wrestling exchanges I think now that she knows she can kind of withstand those she’s not gonna get as kind of scared
off of the front foot tactics that she used in round one in their first fight she was quicker to the punch Landing
combos in the pocket visually hurting chefchenko on the feet um but then round two and round three come around
chefchenko starts getting the top control grozo survives does well to stand up it’s just chefchenko
has a way of really wearing on her opponents physically it just so happened she made this the exact mistake that
Grasso Was preparing for in round four would have been 2-2 given a back take and back control to close out around
either way I think we had an even fight going it’s around five and uh yeah I think Grasso maybe she doesn’t get the
finish this time but I have a feeling that chefchenko is going to be a bit wary to enter some of
the the grappling exchanges it’s going to be a bit wary to throw those spinning techniques this time around uh let Alexa
Grosso you know capitalize once again I know the line moved away from where it opened um you’re getting probably the worst of
it that you possibly could at the moment but I’m riding with the Grosso train I think that this is more Leon Edwards
Usman three than it is um than it is chefchenko coming back to get her title
I think it goes the distance I think it could be a relatively unexciting fight a lot of chefchenko’s fights are quite
frankly uh but Grosso knows how to bring it so I I like her here man I could be totally wrong shout out everybody in the
chat you guys are incredible keep it up we’ll get back to you soon but Guru what do you got here in this Main Event
because I’m going with Grosso the dog my question my thought is is like how did you guys have that fight being scored
let’s say the you know finish doesn’t happen right when she takes the back there is it to me it’s basically I guess after
the back take even though Chev had landed more strikes throughout round four I mean after the back take you
gotta figure that that it’s then 2-2 going into round five and like you’re
saying TB I I think we could very well be posed with a a similar scenario come
this Saturday where it’s a very close fight um Grasso showed uh real success with
her with her Jabs and just honestly just her boxing and striking in general and chefchenko kind of didn’t
really have as much of an answer for that her jab herself was actually starting to touch up Grosso towards
those later rounds and um obviously her wrestling is the big wrinkle Grosso seemed to struggle kind of getting up
off her back at times and uh that would be the path for Chev I’m just not sure
you know she didn’t really have as much success with it as she would have liked to in that first fight so I’m not sure
that like you’re saying so adequately put DB that if Grosso was even more prepared for
that now chefchenko was was uh telegraphing them before so I just think
that she’s going to be tentative and nervous to uh to trade and get in some trouble here 35 years old continuing uh
the d-line did she I’m moving up right I think that there’s a pretty clear path for her for
uh even title contention possibly with moving up and not sacrificing her body too much with the
weight cut and then I do love the mental aspect that you said TB
um as well just the kind of the the possible similarities to the Usman fight
which is just so so interesting that I just think that maybe she just has her number and in that respect and then I
think she can just get it done I think it’s a tough match up for shivchenko especially at this stage in her career
so give me the dog in Grasso and um I mean fight Going the Distance is minus
130. I mean in a flyweight fight even if it’s five rounds I still think that that
there’s some value there so I like that and uh [ __ ] why not why not just even go
a little a little sprinkle on a on a prop just for funsies how about plus 250 Grosso around 4-5 decision cover all my
bases but please let’s hand it off to El Chapo himself before his wife gets
pissed what uh odds did you get at TB on Alexa yeah it’s I’m the I’m the dumb guy that
threw down a plus 140 and had a kick back to plus 142. so um about as bad as it gets but I mean
quite frankly I didn’t like break the bank on it uh I have one bigger bet so
far um which we’ll get to but uh yeah I I think Grosso is worth like a couple
units I’m not saying it’s like a a Best Bet ever in my life but I like how it’s going here what do you think Dad I mean
I get the angle in terms of like you know the long reigning Champion when they lose their belt they don’t often get that belt back but I would not
compare it to the uzuman fight uh besides it being you know a championship situation because Guzman got head kicked
into The Fifth Dimension like that’s fair you’re never gonna recover from that psychologically let alone your chin
whereas Valentina got submitted like that’s something that’s fair you can fix
you know yeah don’t throw that [ __ ] kick again and chances are you’re not getting your back taken so
and just think about this like when Usman came back he was completely gunshot because I mean you know the PTSD
from getting I mean that wasn’t just any knockout that Leon landed on him man it wasn’t like a like a little flash
knock down you know uh let’s call a little early stoppage that was a head
kick knockout dude will never be the same again what is this I mean Valentina
was up on the cards 2-1 um the big debate is what would the score be had she knock on submitted well
she was winning the entire round but she threw the kick and credit to I saw someone in the comments say she slipped she did not slip she threw the kick and
while her back was facing Alexa Alexa jumped on the back took it expertly and
man y’all saw the color of uh valentina’s face purple right yeah in
that picture like that squeeze because it like seemed almost like a neck crank more than a rear naked choke um but did
you see that Jesus did you see the color of her jaw when Grasso let go of the grip she had
on her chin like bouncing his face was red and then the the the that exactly
that that’s what I’m talking about but the reason why it seemed like more not that this is nitpicking they seem more
like a crank than a choke was because if it was a choke and she was in it for that long she would have went to sleep
right so yeah credits of Valentina she was tucking her chin and then also credit to Alexa her grip must be deadly
to get Valentina to tap to that um yeah I mean I could realistically see it
going either way I’m just kind of bitter I didn’t get the plus 200 on Alexa the plus 190 or or you can be one of these
guys that post like a plus 190 or plus 200 like today when that line hasn’t
been around for like two weeks so Props to you for actually like you know giving out a line that’s available but I’m
gonna go on the opposite side I’m gonna go Valentina um I hope I’m wrong because you know Mexican Independence Day you’d
love to see Alexa win and she’s got a more exciting fighting style but I’m gonna go Valentina here
yeah and conspiracy theory um UFC 5 cover uh now vacant 135 action
chefchenko moved down from 135 after losing to Nunes twice now that she’s gone could we see chefchenko make the
move up if she’s not successful here uh trying to reclaim the 125 belt is 135 an option for her going forward absolutely
why not yeah absolutely I mean the I think win or lose I think she moves up
uh who else is there left for her to fight if she wins what are you gonna run it back a third time no there’s Aaron
blanchfield and Manon Fiora she doesn’t want it that’s what I’m saying she doesn’t want any piece of that why not
just kind of Jon Jones just write off I don’t want to fight you here John Joseph
what I said she didn’t choose to give up the belt and move up though that’s a little different than Jon Jones well I’m just
if she wins it that’s what I’m saying she’s gonna win it and choose to go with
the belt and move up what like verbatim like calm down ladies
uh he already broke up our bed MMA now
that was what I was saying anyway ways but did you notice the TV nickname on the first fight here no
what though yeah what the [ __ ] is yeah what the [ __ ] is La Loba well you just added that in that’s not her hell
yeah no she doesn’t have it for what the [ __ ] is she used to train out of Lobo Jim so I
figured it was a good one no I’m surprised you didn’t [ __ ] about it until I brought it up I was about to
look it up to see if it was real or not it’s not you’re lame anyways we got you can’t be in the truck we got Kevin the
Trailblazer Holland or is it big mouth now I don’t know he’s not Elena
it’s Trailblazer oh my God versus Jack Della madalena who also didn’t have a
nickname so I go JDM here uh we got the 30 year old Holland at plus 124. Jack
Della madalena at -148 uh I mean Holland’s gonna have a four inch height
eight inch reach advantage and he’s someone that knows what to do with it um then again uh whenever he’s face
someone that that is able to kind of work the body close the distance get in try to clinch take down yeah that’s
definitely definitely happened before so I will say um the things that I’ve noticed uh
looking into this fight is that Kevin Holland seems to be a little bit more game plan specific in his in his last
two fights um you know against um in his last fight against kiesa I Love
How He adjusted to a wider lower stance to kind of counter some of the takedown entries he was ready with the uppercuts
he was ready with the timing on the knees um I really like that he seemed to have a little bit more of like a plan going
into that fight it looked like and when the wrestler tried to get wrestling he used those weapons to his
advantage and he dropped kiesa with the knee first before sinking in the choke
um Jack Dylan made Elena that’s not the game plan he’s going to use he’s not going for takedown so Kevin Holland at
170 has faced guys at 185 that have been looking to take him down continually to not deal with his game plan on the feet
I mean Jack Della should be clean and safe to kind of get in work some combos but
I don’t trust um I don’t trust him to do it cleanly I I feel like seeing guys like angelosa have even a level of
success from distance um Landing about 60 to 70 strikes out of 180. that’s a solid enough success for a
guy like angelosa to where now you’re facing a better athlete and a bigger guy in Kevin Holland that is a better
distance Striker I think Jack Dell is actually going to get touched up a bit in this fight I do think his his
durability is is great at this point um he does have a couple finished losses to start his career but we haven’t seen
any concerns from that going forward but listen I mean boxing up Pete Rodriguez um boxing up other guys what bustle half
is I mean I know he shot 20 takedowns on him but the dude has zero distance man nobody talks [ __ ] about Danny hot
chocolate Roberts but me okay that guy is tread that he is one bottom of the
barrel so that’s kind of the point here maybe JDM can take this step up but my
guy it’s not just a step it’s like two steps up even baselhoff as listen that
dude’s a [ __ ] Savage and fighting that guy with a full Camp I’m sure is tough but short notice he comes ahead of
steel head of steam you know kind of trying to battle you over throwing heavy be strikes and trying to take you down
obviously different completely different match up here in Kevin Holland but just the idea the Acumen like you’re going to
tell me that Randy Brown is the best guy he’s fought like I had to listen to random cappers telling me that Randy
Brown was gonna knock him out but now he was good value at plus 200. I’m like no he’s a terrible Striker he’s got no
chance and you watch it it’s made him do the chicken dance inside him in two minutes it was bad Kevin Holland has
much much more durability than that much more athleticism than that much more
violence on the feet than that power coming back his way as well
um statistic wise JDM does seem to have the uh Power Advantage the speed Advan
the uh sorry not the speed advantage that’s what I think is going to be the difference in this fight is who has the
speed Advantage but B statistics Jack also lands a little bit more but you also have to factor in level of
competition Kevin Holland wins rounds one and arguably round two versus Wonder Boy Dan
Levy’s favorite fighter before uh before breaking his hand so wonderful nights yeah
no he only makes commercials with Kevin Holland so and I actually did not
wrestle exactly first off over two and a half is plus money I think that’s a
great angle I even if you can get like fight to start round three like even money I like that too
um but I’m gonna take the dog shot in Kevin Holland sure Jack Della could be the new kid on the Block but
unless Kevin is just stupid or gets hurt early which I guess is possible both are
and I I like him to you know do you have a clinical striking battle
like he did with Wonder Boy and and come out on top maybe he loses around 29-28
let’s go Kevin Holland I’ll take the plus money um Dan what do you what do you think I’m
sure you don’t give much credits to The Wonder Boy fight though so I wonder what beat the living [ __ ] out of Kevin
Holland that was not a clinical back and forth that was a one-sided beat down and Wonder Boys Swang that and he broke his
hand for sure I mean I’ve seen dudes win fights with broken hands I’ve seen dudes win fights
with pulled groins like so you know I mean bottom line hit him with your groin I don’t care exactly a 40 year old uh
beat Kevin Holland not that long ago the same 40 year old that’s ducking everybody else in the division and uh TV
wants to you know bring up that angelusa had a couple seconds of success against uh JDM but he refuses to bring up that
fair and Stewart went to a split decision with Kevin Holland and when he was wrestling and you guys are talking
about oh a British guy had wrestling success is that what you’re telling me and you guys want to talk about if Kevin
Collins since he’s not even gonna wrestle britishly oh hold on don’t interrupt me
since when is Kevin Holland fight smart and this whole uh stuff about oh Kevin
Hollins gonna wrestle since when is Kevin Holland wrestle Kevin Hollins the one that gets taken down a million times
every single fight so to me this fight comes down to what range this fight takes place in and up close I think JDM
is gonna box this man’s liver and face off if JDM wants to fight at distance
you know against a dude with a 8 inch reach Advantage well then he deserves to uh he deserves to get his ass whooped
you know and we understand that Kevin Holland’s very dangerous here but I moved in on Jack at plus 100 and you
know the market went you know this time I got the best of it I was happy you know he’s like minus 150 now I can hedge
out now or I can you know guarantee myself a profit or a break
even but I ain’t doing all that I’m gonna ride this one out and I think that you know uh jdm’s gonna March this man
down and put it on him Kevin Holland does not like it when you put it on him Kevin Holland does really well when he’s
up there against older guys you want to bring up Pete Rodriguez but you don’t want to bring a brandy Brown like what
is this man like the guys that Kevin Holland beats are on their way out they
got names pawns and nibios got a name Tim Means has a name Alex cowboy has a name but they’re all on their way out
you know what I’m saying like Kevin Holland doesn’t win those Prospect Showdown matches
um and I don’t think he’s gonna win this one either so I got JDM here I can’t hate the logic and I can’t hate
the play he’s a man of principle and closing line value so what can I say to that what Prospect fight has he really
fought though uh Brennan would be one of them Marvin the Tori Kyle docus Brendan Allen yeah
um Kyle Dawkins is a no contest he got dropped and choked out by Kyle
Bacchus that’s a really bad look right listen
I I get it I get it all I do and I’m a man who had reversed clv on Kevin
Holland because I’m a dumbass I saw minus 125 somewhere plus 100 elsewhere I took the plus 100 and here we are plus
124. so well at least at least again at least you’re not posting you know uh you
know [ __ ] some line that is long gone you know on Kevin Han like some of these other guys at least you’re being honest
about what you got so respect yeah no I think you bring I think you bring up a
point that I was maybe misconsidering and it’s and it’s kind of obvious it’s that yeah if if it takes place a
kickboxing range then yeah Jack Dell is an idiot and he’s gonna get out pointed but if Jack Dell is smart and a good
technical fighter which he has shown through everything that he’s done that he is then why wouldn’t he press closer
try to get inside and and start hurting Kevin who’s who you watch versus a 40 year old Wonder Boy start dancing around
the cage and and even you know uncomfortable like this whole Kevin Holland wrestling thing he got on top of
Wonder Boy twice like he didn’t even have to take him down and he guess what he does he gets back up and tells him no
get back up so you can keep beating the [ __ ] out of me so the only way I see Kevin Holland having success on the mat
here is if he drops Jack Della and snatches a neck or if he hurts Della and
Della shoots for a sloppy shot snatches a neck from there bringing up the kiessa fight like bro the kiessa looked like he
wanted a number one did kiessa look like he wanted to fight that night number two did kiesta even throw a punch number
three if kiessa did throw a punch does kiessa have punching power like yeah so like when was the last time kiessa
wanted to fight well that’s fair I think I think the only point I was taking out of that
fight was that it seemed like he came in with a little bit of a better game plan uh and and that it looked like he
prepared specifically for the match up there I got to imagine and and to your point like you said he ended up on top
of Wonder Boy at times I think Jack Della is going to try to close that distance if it gets in there there are going to be opportunities for for
Holland to use a trip or two do I think he actually does it no that’s the whole point I didn’t even bring that up on my
breakdown I don’t yeah I don’t personally think that and I don’t want anybody to think that I’m picking Kevin
Holland or like Kevin Hahn for some sort of wrestling advantage that I think he’s gonna go for takedowns like that’s not
at all what I was looking for which is why again to you to your point then I kind of like the uh just the thought of
the attritional getting close that that could be tough for Holland yeah ultimately my my plus money play
came down to the uh the height size athleticism better competition and the
the naturally bigger guy with uh with a lot more wealth of UFC experience but I
respect the hell out of Dan Levy’s play I respect the hell that he came out of our on our podcast and he’s been on the opposite side on the first two so you
know he’s not changing his picks for us you know and that’s the other part about us is that we’re going to stay true to what we got yeah
it’s not it’s not about me trying to convince you to change your pick I’ve been sketched out I’ve been sketched out
all week so don’t be surprised to see me cash out my Kevin Hall and then pick Jack Della it’s more it’s more about the
logic for me like why would you even bring up Rodriguez when this guy’s been in there with Randy Brown like you don’t
understand what I’m saying and then why would you bring up angelusa’s two seconds of success and then conveniently
ignore you know guys like Darren Stewart arguably beating Kevin Holland right I
would like to what I have an issue with I would like to say as you’ve seen multiple times Guru did interrupt me in
the middle of my breakdown and then passed off to you I interrupted me as well you better stop doing that that’s what I’m saying gurus Guru is a man of
interruption so we’re gonna move on to the next fight before he interrupts me before then real quick um my food just
arrived let me just go grab it but y’all start without me all right I’ll be right back yes sir all right we got
El Nino problema Raul Rosas Jr versus the tear bear Terence Mitchell and
that’s his nickname on topology because UFC ain’t giving you one um that is not a TB nickname believe it
or not mine is 750 for El Nino problema and plus 525 for the should I be in the
UFC Terror bear um so listen Terence is going to have a one inch height seven inch reach
Advantage but I mean we’re talking Alaska FC here and we’re talking a guy that was relying on his submission
prowess in Alaska FC I mean Raul Rosas Jr you [ __ ] listen man he’s got the
legitimate skills the problem is he doesn’t have like the athleticism and and the cardio to outwork a fully grown
man for three rounds but we saw him win round one pretty cleanly against Christian Rodriguez the issue is he
didn’t have the ability to kind of keep up that pace and and athleticism and pressure against the guy that had the
right amount of experience and skill I don’t think Terence Mitchell quite meets that uh that that low level
um to of like entry-level skill to like give Raul Ross a real problem here
um I got Rosas it’s round one it’s probably submission um
but maybe you find a round one or round two prop find one small parlay to add Rosas as a
money line piece if like you’re that degenerate and desperate I think I did so like minus 550
um so I’ll post that play now and tell you guys to follow it the Dan Levy favorite um but yeah I mean Guru
you got anything different on the Rosa side here there’s really not much I like from a gambling perspective at all on
this fight um obviously has a an incredible submission
grappling Acumen so to speak but I I just especially in his last fight for Christian Rodriguez yes like you said he
win wins on run but doesn’t really look very impressive otherwise and uh
you know just very you know Green he’s still working on developing his skills making him well
polished and well-rounded enough to be an actual MMA fighter I’m not really sure Terence Mitchell um has ever been
UFC caliber uh I don’t think he is what’s very interesting in this fight
and the only thing I may take a sprinkle on is like I almost kind of like the over one and a half and the reason why
is like it’s the the durability problem of of Terence Mitchell could be
overstated here and the fact that yeah he’s been knocked out with striking barrages of striking from kaikar French
who’s hits really hard and then Cameron Simon who’s a great technical kickboxer
striker I’m gonna be the one that interrupts you now sure Cameron Simon didn’t knock him
out standing Cameron Simon took his back and pounded him out right so I mean again so taking his back and
choking him out is certainly an ish is a is certainly there I’m not sure that taking him down and pounding him out for
Rosas is as likely because it’s just not he he’s he’s got all these submission
wins I mean he’s got 1K I’m sure it’s a possibility but it’s not he may give up control my thought with Terence Mitchell
is maybe he’s got decent enough submission skills to last over one and a half hey fight to start round two might
be [ __ ] is gonna be plus money so maybe just maybe I feed the narrative with that but that’s the only like
interesting way I have of handicapping this fight otherwise I mean what’s what’s wrong with us round one TV like
minus 200 like I I don’t I don’t care for it well quite frankly I mean
DraftKings and everyone has been a bunch of [ __ ] this week like we literally just got odds for these top three fights
all around like in a couple hours before we started so right now everyone is minus 200. it’s minus 195. I
literally I called it I’m I’m I mean they call me the guru for a reason you know what I’m saying so like I I don’t I
don’t care for rosehaus round two minus 200 like that’s shitty to me I almost rather take a couch cushion sprinkle on
a fight to start round two at plus 164. five minutes that this guy
stinks and the other guy is decent enough submission defense but otherwise yeah whatever Raul sauce put them in all
your parlays I’m I’m amazing I mean I don’t really like it it’s fine
I guess it’s my turn Daniel what do you got here my friend listen man everyone talking about how Raul Rosa’s cardio
sucks they’re full of [ __ ] because on Contender series he went all three rounds at a ridiculous pace and you look
completely fine the issue was that you fought this complete bum named Jay Perrin at like 18 years old he destroyed
Jay Perrin on a pay-per-view card not at the Apex in front of a lot of people and afterwards you know you go back to high
school after choking that guy out everyone’s kissing your ass you think you’re you know God’s gift to fighting
he had to get humbled and Christian Rodriguez is an absolute Savage Christian Rodriguez is about to fight Cameron Simon on uh Prospect vs Prospect
Showdown type fight right so that wasn’t a cardio issue that was more of he fought you know a real guy that night he
just wasn’t ready for him but this guy Terence Mitchell I mean listen man he
comes from the Alaska FC scene we know that’s one of the worst scenes around and it’s probably gonna be a one back
take and the fight is over shortly after situation so yeah obviously I got roses here but I can’t do anything with the
price so you know props to y’all that got in early and uh it’s a pass for me
I’m about to drop my my three leg parlay that has Rosa says the minus 550 leg in it I’m gonna put it out
uh but yeah round one submission is even money you get a parlay it the whole [ __ ] way to
even get there so yeah I guess that would maybe be the the
obvious even money layup but uh I kind of wish I had taken that
philosophy with the Tyson Pedro fight you know round one finish plus 330 for Tyson it’s his way to finish the fights
it’s a way to win I would like to say in all fairness uh yesterday I did post I had one parlay for Noche UFC and it had
Rosas at -550 in it so yesterday see that’s a sick number Dan’s Dan’s
munching on uh Peruvian food I would assume love that good man so minus yeah
you got to get them all the top baby so here we go we got Daniel Zell Huber
Golden Boy versus Christos the Spartan yagos uh minus 285 for Golden Boy plus
230 for the Spartan uh the over two and a half plus 105 under two and a half minus 135
I would say I came into this fight a little a little trepidatious about uh the idea of zel Huber facing like the
first kind of volume wrestler that he would face but then I realized like Chris Crystal’s yagos is really only
good for like one round of that cardio and wrestling and I don’t think Daniel zellhuber is
getting finished by Chris dos yagos uh let’s be real here I mean you got the the guy that’s nine years younger
um three inches taller has a six inch reach advantage I know I haven’t seen
him tested by the highest level of competition from a wrestling perspective but I know yagos isn’t good for it for
more than one round so I got zel Huber here he’s the second leg or one of the legs
um I have one parlay that has Zell Huber I have one parlay that has uh Raul Rosas
and I’ll let you guys know the other two legs coming up yeah no I
kind of felt similarly I still have a bad taste in my mouth from Zell Huber’s uh UFC debut versus Trey Ogden one of
the worst fights I’ve ever seen uh just completely uh a dud maybe a mental lapse
I really like where zellhuber’s training with uh the new champ again uh extreme
Couture Eric nixik so with him in his corner I feel really really confident
that they’re gonna be ready for whatever yagos is bringing and uh again DB you
said it perfectly yagos is good for a round I think uh zohuber is going to survive at least that long
uh he may even still win round one so his his round one versus land of anata
was his best round so how did that not get stopped yeah so like if you can if you can take his best round away from
gagos like uh-uh not not gonna be good so just survive uh just don’t give up a
random like rear naked choke in your back just just be all right and can we just be real about that Ricky Glenn fight like that was like the MMA Gods
flipping the script on him and and he also looked like [ __ ] and didn’t want to be I don’t know so I like cell Huber he
is the first Lego of my completely separate parlay from TB because you know
Dan Levy broke us apart so Fedora what do you got you know these
guys share a Facebook account too then and the picture is us at a UFC
event together so yeah yeah I was joking I’m guessing he’s I’m guessing he’s
serious huh but uh no but uh well The Chronic combat Facebook that’s different
that’s different oh so they do have a joint Facebook account well we have a joint podcast so I mean if I join
Instagram um we have a joint urinal you know whatever yeah I bet you do so uh listen
man I’m not gonna discredit Chris those giago’s win against Ricky Glenn I mean he [ __ ] caught him with a nasty left
hook man that was disgusting the guy’s been in the UFC a long time credit to him he’s a very athletic guy he’s a
seasoned guy he’s been in there with real guys he’s been in there with Oliveira Charles Oliveira with sarukian
with Gilbert Burns and I granted all those guys beat him but uh I mean I just kind of chalked down that Ogden fight to
a debut stun I mean Tyler Santos made a debut stun against Mario Romero Barella too right like that [ __ ] happens from
time to time I mean did you walk away from that fight thinking man Trey Ogden’s about to be a top 15 guy no you
just said wow this kid threw zero strikes in Ogden through two strikes therefore Ogden one right same thing
with barela and Santa so and then the next fight against Lando we saw the guy
that we originally uh you know scouted the the big time Prospect right and that
should have been a first round finish like you said 100 percent um yeah I mean listen I think that here
he’s gonna get back to his you know his flashy ways and I think he’s going to be
a little bit too long for Christos gallagos hopefully crystals doesn’t have any vet tactics waiting for him but I
think that so Hoover I mean I took him at minus 220 straight to win two units and uh you know I should put I should
post that line I should go delete my tweet and post that line now right TV but uh get out there baby
when it was minus 220 we got the best of it and uh let’s get it kid smart man right there once again a man
of principle end of clv you gotta love it a principle not preference yeah
oh my gosh well what I will say though also like Zach from our buddy four ounce of Freedom says dan does have the finest
taste in food also so always posting the the finest you know what is it you go to your all you can eat buffets before the
uh before the fight sometimes or you go to the Peruvian place what do we get there because you’re all over man
you say wanna what did we get to eat today I got a turkey wrap with mac and with
this like broccoli that’s seasoned very interestingly very nice very fun parmesan lemon garlic and like
breadcrumbs I’m a very big fan of broccoli believe it or not so I like Greenery here on chronic combat so
whatever when it’s done right for sure all right here we go that’s what we got
from the side oh my word all right we got Fernando El
Valiente Padilla versus Kyle monster Nelson uh friend Fernando coming in at
minus 250. uh The Monster at Plus 205. uh I was kind of looking back at Kyle
monster Nelson’s last fight you know seeing where I went wrong with Blake Builder and like the dude was like three
inches shorter giving up a couple inches reached to Kyle Nelson and I looked I was like oh I’m curious what’s Fernando
Padilla doing oh my God he’s got two inches of height and five inches of reach on Nelson like does Blake Builder even belong in the in the 145 division
against Real Fighters I think that was one of my takeaways but then my other takeaway is well Padilla passed the do I
have enough power to knock out Julian orosa in round one test because if you can it gets sketchy but if you have real
power you can knock out Julian erosa in round one so he passed that test for me and I’ve seen him fight
um Good Guys on the regional scene yes he’s had some struggles coming up here or there for decision losses but I feel
like Kyle Nelson’s win equity in this fight is gonna be what wrestling here
with cardio what output Landing a big shot on Padilla the guy that’s never been knocked out before and has the
reach Advantage uh Padilla is going to be another leg in the parlay so throw him in there I really like him to get
the finish and win decisively and even if he can’t finish the guy that’s two and four in the UFC and his win came
against you know one of the smaller guys in the division last time now Nelson’s facing someone a lot bigger here
um well at least from a reach perspective because I mean you could see like Kyle Nelson’s pretty filled out but I mean Padilla I think can do everything
to keep this guy at range and not let him get going um I like him inside the distance I like
Padilla to to win as part of the parlay Guru what do you got going on yeah I do
really like Padilla here Nelson does have a little bit of sketch factor to me just because again he did
stick it out verse Blake Builder who again I I didn’t really think that he would I didn’t think he would do it uh
the the pace and pressure uh put Builder off and uh Builder had a you know an off night he was very inaccurate and uh he’s
a guy whose cardio is usually uh very much on point was not so yeah Kyle was
the better man that night and now he’s got a tough fight and an upper coming versus Fernando Padilla
um do I think the Juliano Rosa stoppage was early harosa was basically dead and we’ve seen
him die a million times so I’m okay with it especially since I bet Padilla round one but I could see where like you
violence violence he’s still alive like Arosa was pretty pissed and he was standing so like I get it but I’m not
mad at it personally would be curious how you guys feel um would love to see him knock out
Nelson here Nelson’s been knocked out by Diego fajaya from gravity or ground and
pound so not exactly the same thing and and a billy Q fight was crazy right
Billy Q breaks him with Pace I don’t know how uh round three even starts and
uh it probably shouldn’t have because like one punch and he’s he’s good he’s good on that so yeah I kind of see a
similar thing happening with uh Padilla’s Pace he’s a little bit more patient in just kind of how he he’s like
he’s he’s a Controlled Chaos is how I’d like to describe him but still Technical and very dangerous
so not sure that Kyle can get it done so let’s take Padilla he’s not in this
parlay I have specifically but he might be in a different one I like I you know let’s put him in a different parlay
let’s let’s get that one cooking I mean I’ll go Padilla here because I pick against Kyle Nelson every single
fight but I’m not sold on Padilla like you guys are man like uh if you haven’t figured out how to knock out Julian
erosa yet there’s an issue not to mention it wasn’t that long ago that Spike Carlisle was grinding this guy out
this guy’s got a losing record when fights go to decision so you know the jury’s still out on him right like he’s
tough he’s long and he’s down to brawl but I’m not really sure what else he brings to the table that might be enough
to win here but at this point like Nelson was the guy that I I said at one point like yeah this guy won’t be in the
UFC this time next year and he’s been in the UFC since 2018 so he’s proven me wrong and he’s upset two prospects in a
row like the duo fight I thought he lost but he came out with a draw the Builder five Builder was The Undefeated Prospect
uh Padilla he’s more of a vet than a prospect he’s a young vet right but when you look at his record like he’s he’s
been around the block for a long time but I think that
I’m just not that sold on Padilla man to lay a price like this I’ll pick him but I’m not interested in laying a price
like what has he proven I he’s his to his losses man his losses are of course
our decisions but they’re to dogs right Spike Carlisle sure that guy’s not a great Striker but he’s an insane volume
wrestler that has you know Contin this is uh you know who has had cardio at
different levels right obviously he can gas out when he pushes too high of a pace and then of course there’s other
loss cffc 2017 to Dan 50k ige so 50k ige
is not finishing you you’re tough as nails so and what’s Dan gonna do he’s gonna grind you out Nelson is not
looking in any way shape or form to try to Tire Padilla’s arms out with the
grappling so if you’re gonna try to stand and bang with this guy or even just strike with him at all I think he’s
got the speed the power and the the size
and it’s going to I think it’s gonna be a problem for Nelson well I mean it was only it was only two fights ago that
Kyle Nelson landed five takedowns on duho Choi so uh maybe he will look to grind you out
yeah I would actually be interested in the idea that Padilla might sink in a submission uh eight submission wins and
if Kyle Nelson shooting desperately uh could be an interesting like high value
prop Play It’s just uh DraftKings has not decided to give me an option yet so I can’t tell you guys what the number
actually is uh but yeah listen uh we’re gonna move on to our next fight here I think that’s
365 is going to have a number not because they don’t have specific uh props it’s only combo methods so anyways
please like And subscribe if you haven’t done so already our amazing uh guest host Daniel Levy at best fight picks on
the socials make sure you’re following half the battle if you somehow aren’t already you obviously messed up but you
can still fix that mistake if you’re watching our show without knowing what half the battle is um but yeah and if you haven’t done it
on this channel please like it helps the algorithm so much there’s definitely more people in the chat right now that have actually thrown a like so like do
your job come on it’s free it doesn’t cost you anything and uh subscribe to the show uh we are going to move along
now to our next before you do that they’re giving that’s I know you’re so
annoyed at me Padilla they’re giving Padilla uh by finish essentially since you are of course correct they’re giving
Padilla by finish at plus 100 on bet365. cool not even the proper S4 uh so Lupita
actually I did say I liked him inside you wanted submission and you were correct and that they don’t give a a
specific position yeah you’re correct so so the Finish is plus a hundred so I
apologize all right so we got our next fight here we got Lupita godinez loopy I was gonna do it
Opposite because UFC stats like her name is Loopy but I decided you know we’ll keep it with her actual nickname and the
nickname spot and at least read honestly I couldn’t come up with anything good but it’s at least bag of milk read uh
plus 340 versus Lupi godinous and minus 440. um I mean she’s as pale as I am you know
it’s it’s not it’s not great I’m doing my best here okay um loopy is gonna actually be giving up an
inch of height two inches of reach and I think she’s gonna be the worst striker in this matchup it’s just we all know how you beat Elise
Reed it’s you use your offensive wrestling your takedowns and then you finish her with ground and pounder
submission so if you’re playing loopy godinez it needs to be inside the distance
um 100 and honestly I think if this fight is going and it’s not ending I kind of
almost favor at least Reed in that in that case um I’m not crazy enough to like pick her straight up or or play her money line
but I will not throw caution to the win and I’m not gonna parlay loopy it’s about finding the specific prop that’s
gonna work it’s like um a round one submission or a round to you know maybe she struggles around
maybe a round two submission like you have to get extremely cute here and keep it extremely small I mean Loopy’s the pick because she uses the game plan
that’s gonna work she should win um she’s been training with the champ um that I can’t in my right mind pick
read but I think she’s the better Striker um loopy by wrestling Guru what do you got
I’m I’m the more the more you were talking about it I’m actually getting freaked out like you I didn’t want a
parlay loopy at all to begin with just keep keep that in mind I might not even pick loopy it’s a short notice fight she
doesn’t she has two submission wins none at the UFC level so it’s like oh what
I’m sorry it’s one at the UFC level with it’s her debut no it’s still not it was her second fight versus Juarez because
she fought Pena uh so she fights uh she submits uh Silvana Juarez who’s awful
just a complete Striker and with no grappling so
if she can get this sub like you’re saying early then that’s really her path if it goes anywhere past round one I get
really scared because at least read like you said I do agree has the better striking and certainly has the cardio
Advantage so if she and she’s also had suspect fight IQ right there was no
reason for loopy not to Grapple Rose Angela hill we all thought she was and that was the last time she was a heavy
favorite minus 300 and she didn’t grapple at all and then she lost the
fight so if she doesn’t grapple for some reason here would it be like somehow
that surprising I I don’t I don’t know because I don’t trust her so minus 440 I’m I’m just
super not interested I almost kind of want to look the dog way it’s like is has Sean Strickland taught us anything
it’s like the line has to kind of tip our hand at some point like we just kind of like I mean if that’s the case you’re
betting Terence Mitchell no no that’s that’s right okay so it’s not no so it’s not just blind the line no it’s not
anything there has to be of course I I didn’t start it with that I’m I’m giving
a handicap I think she’s got a chance I think she’s live and of course you know when we look back Captain hindsight of
course Sean Strickland was live especially if he wasn’t getting finished so did anybody think that he had the
finishing Equity I I don’t know that even anybody that bet him thought that but that’s for them to say because I
don’t know who they are Dan what do you think Guru said that Elise Reed has the
cardio Advantage here I think so yeah I do I think she’s not good cardio she’s one of the things I
think she’s known for once it goes once it gets grappling that goes out the window so don’t if it stays standing
she’s got good cardio she’s got decent pace with that isn’t Elise Reed the same
person that got finished in round three by Sam Hughes and in round two by Luma Luke Boone Sam uses somebody with
unbelievable cardio as well and Loma took her to had just had to Grapple with
her and choked her out I had to Grapple with her well she started chose to
Grapple with her right because she’s at least smarter than that kind of she stopped fighting with 30 seconds into a
round or whatever because she just randomly thought the fight was over so I don’t know about her fight like you either but she at least had enough fight
IQ to take down Elise Reed if I hear if I hear loopy say in a fighter man yeah
I’m gonna take this girl down wonderful you’ve got my bet you got the we can we can move on but I haven’t heard it yet
when you talk about Pace that this girl has got more Pace the most strike she’s ever landed in a fight was 76 against
Corey McKenna because she’s usually getting controlled in the grappling loopy godinez last fight she landed 132
significant strikes against Emily ducote so loopy does not have to wrestle here I
mean it’d be it’d be the best you know path of least resistance like that’d be the smart way to go especially if you’re
laying minus 440 but make no mistake about it loopy can hang on the feet with at least read here and I think she’s
going to win the fight everywhere it takes place it’s just about when you’re laying a price like this yeah I’d prefer you to take down Elise Reed who by the
way gentlemen has been taken down and every single UFC fight she’s had including against people that aren’t
known for taking their their opponents down like Luma Luke Boone me okay so you
know the the [ __ ] uh Muay Thai Fighter that that girl that girl took down Elise read every single person that’s fought
at least read has taken down Elise read so if loopy wants to be smart and take her down I mean I think it might be a
30-26 if not a finish but if she wants to stand with her that might give Elise a chance but I think that loopy can hang
with her on the feet too so I got loopy yeah I like the there will be pairings
on FanDuel where you could play by round one or round two submission that’s kind of my vibe here well so then Dan what’s
the bet if it’s loopy you’re playing four units on our minus 440 like what’s what’s the handicap then like where are
we sinking our teeth in a gambling perspective I’m just passing I don’t need it fair enough but that’s and that’s kind
of was my overarching point because I’m not I’m not picking uh read here if you
think Reed’s a live dog you need to trust your gut who cares what I say you know what I’m saying but I’m just bringing up facts you said that she
pushes a better pace and has better cardio and I had to point out that she’s the one that’s been finished in the later rounds more than once
yeah Fair Point Loopy’s never lost by finish Elise has never lost by decision
so it’s it’s pretty clear but what if we uh I think loopy gets it done inside so
we are on to our next fight here we got Roman gladiator copy love versus Josh
Mile High friend we got copy love at minus 345 framed it plus 260 Guru
chomping at the bit to yell at me about nicknames um friend is going to be three years
younger have a four inch height Advantage but only a one and a half inch reach Advantage which is uh actually a
pretty stark contrast to his height Advantage um I think copy love is going to be much
better defensively here from a wrestling perspective and a striking perspective and I think he’s got a lot more
finishing potential striking with the hands or throwing up those head kicks man I like friend I think he’s got
solid overall win ability in in a lot of matchups in the UFC I think he’s met his
match here though um Roman copy love has really shown an improvement in his game but he was
training in in Dagestan um for a bit so improving the cardio improving the takedown defense improving
his overall physique too because the dude was like a solid athlete before I feel like he’s like you know uh Dan will
tell you about the Garden of Life vitamins and vegetables so um Roman copy love I got him here he’s
gonna be the the third uh one of the pieces of the parlay I got him laid out twice
um one time with with rose sauce one time with uh Zell Huber and then the the
other leg was Fernando Padilla so that’s my I have two three leg parlays each a
unit uh so I have a two unit exposure here on Roman copylov’s money line across parlays uh will I find an inside
distance prop I like maybe what do you think Guru
um I why did you give him Mile High from is he from he’s not from yeah he’s
training in Colorado okay and you like the Gladiator one I kind of like the are
you call him like the Russian Gladiator or something no well his name is Roman but like the Gladiators and you know
like sure but he’s also you could call Roman the Russian Gladiator couple of Russia why do I need to save Russian I
thought it was just crazy you know well he’s but he’s from Russia like that’s what they like but his name is
all right and we’re over it anyway I was trying to like I’m trying to give you a little something but you ruined it
um I like copulov here I’m not really sure where from his from King is a fluke
sub um I just don’t really see him as a threat at all in the Striking I think there’s a major Gap there uh kapilov
striking is very crisp and it hurts he strikes really hard uh he
and Ash Claudio Ribeiro so I think he’s gonna eventually finish frem you can get
him by finish at uh minus 120 I believe on Bet365 at
the moment so I don’t hate it there might be better lines available when lines finally do open up those
[ __ ] those cockroaches but uh yeah I like it and uh
is the second leg in my parlay actually so it’s zellhuber copy love and uh one
more and we’ll get a little plus money and I think we’ll get out with a dub what do you think there Dan did this guy
say uh Josh from doesn’t have punching power no no I said last night
no I I mean I didn’t say it like that per se I mean he knocks out he hasn’t knocked out
anybody at the UFC level he swings hard because he feels comfortable in his grappling but I don’t know that like
straight up crisp technical boxing is where he I I didn’t ask about who’s the
more Chris technical boxer I said do you not think this guy has knockout power basically what I’m asking is did you not
watch his LFA fights no I I mean I yeah I mean he knocked out Bruno Oliveira and
Antonio what’s his name Jones so you did so you did watch his LFA fights yeah
okay this guy was starching guys with one hit or quitter some of the most brutal Knockouts I’ve seen in the LFA
and when he got to the UFC I’ve been waiting to see it it’s I haven’t seen it yet um I mean the only guy he’s hurt so
far has been Dumas which I cashed at like plus 180 plus 190. everyone was on Dumas for whatever reason and then the
fight would pick it you know it was literally frem’s worst day he missed his weight for the first
time in his career and he’s still easily 30 27’s picket um but I think on his best day he easily knocks out pick it my
here’s my thing with copalov man is that I feel like people forgot when this guy first came to the UFC he got out
kickboxed and choked out by Carl Roberson Albert derive beat the living
[ __ ] out of him the fight with Alessio D carico was a 50-50 fight until the third
round and uh Ben whatever happened in that third round man that was a
beautiful combo by by a couple of and ever since then it seems like he’s become a new man it seems like he’s
become a lot more comfortable inside the octagon and very very clean hands also a
nasty liver kick strings his combinations together so I mean I get why you know he’s the
pick here but I think he was the pick at a better line you know now that’s approaching I think it’s What minus 450
at this point it’s not minus 645 anymore it’s in the minus 400s now um but from I think he’s a lot better
than people are giving him credit for if you watch his Regional scene he was getting vicious knockouts
I don’t see what you’re what you’re showing me there DraftKings is shitty but it’s still
minus 345 there okay all right well that’s good because I think across like the board he’s like yeah it’s gotten up
to over minus 400 on certain books FanDuel has it at minus 400. nice well if you can still get 345 I mean I mean
at least you’re ahead of the market um but like like I was saying I was excited when friend got signed
because his Regional scene was some of the most devastating Knockouts I had seen the guy is also six foot five He’s
listed at six four he’s six foot five um he’s a big boy trains with really good people in Colorado guys like Dustin
Jacoby so I just need to see him put it together at the UFC level
um and when he does that I mean I think he’s gonna get some good Knockouts as well and uh with kopalov you know he’s
Russian so you’d think that he’s got good wrestling he doesn’t have good wrestling um come on no comparing Macau dacus Kyle
dacus there’s a reason that Dana didn’t sign Kyle dacus on Contender series he said you know I just don’t see that
killer in him and then guess what they finally sign him the UFC they still didn’t see that killer in him he did
finish Kevin Holland though but uh now uh you know Kyle dacus is finishing guys
like um what’s that bum’s name that he fought um uh the guy with like the ridiculously
bad record Ellis he’s fighting guys like Ellis on the regional scene you know what I’m saying uh but anyways don’t
don’t distract me don’t get me off guard here I still think that friend has a lot more to show I don’t think he’s showing
what he’s fully capable of yet and he was very good on the Regionals he wasn’t just very good he was devastating on the
regionals but Copa love is finally putting it together because kopalav looked like [ __ ] uh his first two UFC
fights first two and a half to be frank but these last two he’s been doing his thing but at the same time you know
Claudio hibero fights with his hands down and his chin straight up in the air um and then who do you knock out before
that oh poona man that puneify was amazing he looked incredible against Puna so you got to give him credit the
momentum’s on his side I’m just not convinced it’s going to be as easy as people think uh that that’s
my only thing I’ll pick him but uh let’s see show show me uh if it’s gonna be minus 400 easy it was he listened he was
also supposed to fight fluffy Hernandez and he’s getting Josh frem so it’s almost a similar stylistic matchup in
terms of somebody that’s better with grappling than their striking at the very least guess who walking around against uh Anthony Hernandez
Josh Brown Josh I was there I was in Florida and Josh frem took that fight on
oh that’s complete [ __ ] he’s on a two fight win streak what do you mean he wouldn’t be in the UFC
it’s a good question good question But ultimately I mean copy love is the
pick I have uh I think two units of exposure in two small parlays at the at minus 345 actually I I got him at a I
think even a little better than the minus 345 line once again I posted these yesterday so uh when I played them
immediately I put them up once again man of principle uh the line that I got was
minus 300 and minus 310 on 365 and DraftKings uh that was yesterday when I
tweeted out so make sure you follow us on Twitter and everywhere else because sometimes but by the time we get to the
show all the line movements come um it is what it is our next fight
we got I guess I just stopped changing what weight class it was so this is classic
welcome back to the semester TV that’s all oopsies yeah I know Guru got exasperated exactly one more semester
baby we’re pushing on through uh Edgar Cyrus the pitbull versus Daniel la serda
de Silva I don’t know where the mioho goes but it’s somewhere in there um is it Daniel miojo la serada de Silva
it’s Daniel miojo de Silva lacerda oh no oh no no even worse I had to figure out
where did the silver went and I was wrong yeah it goes in the middle I gotta give uh dang Dan caught me with my pants
down there all right anywho we got shadows as the minus 258 versus however
his name is supposed to correctly be that I messed up plus 210 uh Mr de Silva
Lacerta um listen I I feel like shyraz is one of
those guys he’s the he’s one of those landmines and I can’t I can in my right mind recommend him but
at the same time you look over at the silver side and it’s like well can I make like my official like prediction
and tapology pick the guy that’s been finished in in every single matchup so far at the UFC level and and early too
ultimately from a betting angle you have to look towards the owner but it’s like the under minus is my one and a half is
minus 195. um so really it’s kind of are you taking Daniel uh by round one slash two
yeah or are you passing entirely I kind of lean towards like some Da Silva
Action Man I I like like you said if you want to take the silver Lacerta I think you
gotta take him early I think you got to take round one round two prop
um because that’s where he’s live um the problem in doing that of course
on the Charice size is that he has shown some durability yes he’s been finished uh twice but one is late round two
triangle and the other is a round five submission so he has shown at least in
that respect some durability tatsudu Tyra unable to finish him and he’s a fantastic Grappler so so he actually
dropped Tyro I mean at least once if not twice in that fight um Clayton Carpenter a guy that you know
I don’t say what you want about his skill level he’s a finisher right and he didn’t finish him either so
I cut that’s like kind of working against Lacerta but man do I want to see him get a dub and get a contract and get
some more fights because he epitomizes I think what it means to be I mean at
least if you’re not good enough at least be in your seat for for four minutes I think the man is truly Elite and by God
is he entertaining so I would love nothing more than to watch him win but uh I I’m gonna begrudgingly
pick Cherise I got Daniel Da Silva lucera here man I
mean listen uh and I took the money line if I’m picking an underdog out right I don’t need to get cute with some [ __ ]
props I took him straight up um this is one of the few occasions where I didn’t get the best of it though
I gotta I bet him at plus 180. I mean I thought that line was fine but I didn’t expect uh it to go to plus 210 so I
think that Line’s fine too I mean basically the reason that he’s getting an opportunity off four straight
losses is because look at how he fights he’s super exciting and while he’s uh
fresh it’s not just that he’s like some brawler or by the way the Braves just
won the division so uh let’s suck at Mets fans hey Metro up seven nothing
Alonso did something and Braves just won the division but uh so uh
like it’s not that this guy’s just some exciting brawler this dude Sarah he actually shows some
really good technique while he’s fresh it’s just kind of been a pacing issue kind of been a maturity issue but he’s
surrounded by the right people I mean he’s with the shooter box guys he’s got Charles Oliveira and all those guys with
him if he can just show me a little bit of maturity I think you can get this one done because the thing with Shire is you
know kind of like with Hafiz and the JDM fight like people were you know hafez had a
little bit of success as a massive Underdog so people were were you know kind of overblowing it same thing with
Shiraz and Tyra Tyra beat the [ __ ] out of Shiraz man like shyra’s had two good moments in that fight and we’re gonna
act like he should be minus 250 in a UFC fight versus anybody look the thing with
Cyrus is he’s tough he’s Mexican but he his volume is terrible it’ll be two
minutes of inactivity when he actually does decide to throw
um he throws hard and he does have some opportunistic submissions but it’s few and far between he also slows down as
fights progress I mean this is Daniel for one night put it together kid like
you crush the grapes now we drink the wine let’s go out here and cash as an underdog and get your first UFC win I’m
going Daniel miojo de Silva lacerda to finally fifth time’s the charm get that
first UFC win Hey listen and for the record he’s not in my parlay Mr Charis I totally agree
with your sentiment there Dan he did he there’s nothing about him that has warranted this price tag
he’s not he’s not in the parlay so I want everybody to be here about that
Mr Charisse um uh shout out uh everybody in the chat
you guys are awesome yeah the more you say it then I do make stupid decisions sometimes so why would I take a crazy
prop when you just need to play the underdog line if you got that feeling in your huevos um just because I just don’t I don’t
think that I just don’t think he wins a decision I just right but could it not be like round three
you know what I mean like if I play round one round two couldn’t it be round three for something I mean and you can
still go Grandma’s couch cushion at a round three prop which is gonna be plus a thousand or more yeah but it’s plus
210 already what am I doing you know what I mean like I guess crazy we get like to get spicy out here I know but
plus two ten is spicy bro like if I could catch it on plus 210 I’m thrilled so yeah I think he’s gonna be the the
more athletic better Strikers just we’ve seen those four loss in a row but damn man listen to Dan talk about that one if
there was a fight I was going to be swayed on it might have been this one like to to feel a little more solid in
my like because I was kind of thinking the dog might do it here and and that that kind of helps solidify some of my
thoughts I’m right it doesn’t no no right it doesn’t but listen whatever you did for Sean O’Malley fight week all the
stuff you posted all the prayers all the voodoo Juju you put out there we got to do the same thing for for mioho here we
gotta keep the Good Vibes flowing listen if you if you remember Leonard Garcia they let him lose like five or six in a
row because of how fights the difference here is that lucerita actually has some really good technique he’s not just you
know close your eyes and brawl kind of guy so man just show me a little bit of
maturity kid because this guy Shiraz is nothing special at all like this guy should not be minus 250 versus anyone on
the roster yeah amen I’ve just gotten addicted to hitting those those those big props you
know what I’m saying how they’re working out for you they look I’ve been playing them really small I was trying to pull
up the one from last week that wasn’t a question they’ve actually been going well honestly I’ve been going small very
small oh yeah you’re profitable on them uh he’s talking like a couple gurus
talking about a couple week sample size essentially yeah very small and then it goes after y’all
right no I’ve hit a couple of them what I hit I hit the round two sub on that I
can’t remember which fighter it was a few weeks ago TV we believe you we believe all right yeah yeah let’s move on to the more pressing matters here I
mean look at this match up here bro we got Tracy maybe it’s not Junior maybe
it’s senior Cortez hey last week versus Jasmine vicious Jazz divisius another
couple Fighters without any nicknames so I just had to do my best here
um Tracy coming in gonna be five years younger she’s given up two inches of height giving up three inches of reach
she’s the minus 118 at this point with jazz divisius at minus 102. quite simply
I feel like Cortez has kind of been able to use her physicality to bully opponents with top control and
um kind of like playing as fish you can at distance while she has the cardio but like we’ve seen even that look a bit
sketchy we’ve seen Cortez pull out of fights we’ve seen her slow down down the stretch
um when you’re able to kind of counter some of her wrestling um and Jazz divisius I think is just the
right opponent has made improvements on the feet in her last couple of uh fights
because the look against Kay Hansen was why I took Kay Hanson in the Jazz The Vicious fight on the feet it’s just I
expected Hanson to have success wrestling and it’s the same thing here I feel like Court says it’s like a lot of
people are expecting her to have success wrestling is just jazz divisius is so big and she has good technique to
counter takedowns and use them to her advantage and end up with top control in good position I don’t think she even
needs to rely on top control position I think she’s going to be the more athletic Striker with better output and
better cardio from distance I got Jazz division here and I posted it two to three days ago plus money plus
money was still available plus 100 on bet 365 as of a couple hours ago I’m not
looking at this second but DraftKings is minus 102. so I finally found some clv
on this card from a dog to favor perspective I did my job here I got Jazz divisius at plus 110. I hope you guys
were following on Twitter because you could have jumped in then but I think that 365 is still plus 100 so if you’re
feeling the same um do your thing join in but Guru who are you playing here for the record it
was round two on a sue Alma bayev it’s just the name eluded me because what a
random ass name I really liked I think it was plus 12 to 1 on that really like jazz division is here
um got hers plus money as well plus 110 and dipped in again at plus 105 as I
continued to watch the line slip away on all the other books which is why it’s always optimal to have multiple outs
um Tracy Cortez is somebody that um honestly kind of struggled in some of
her striking exchanges you know even in her last fight with Melissa Gatto and
continue and then times got taken down and you know was uh on bottom to Melissa
Gatto she was able to quickly reverse that position but Jazz and vicious is somebody with Olympic wrestling prowess
and has much better top control calm that calm down calm down uh it’s a Canadian it’s Canadian okay
thanks for specifying but you know it’s still Olympic wrestling product I mean it’s it’s it’s pretty solid man yeah
because there were like two wrestlers there that you know right so exactly but I I mean I’ve been
impressed with what she’s able to do nobody really thought that first off she’s an underdog to Gabriel Fernandez which I thought was really funny and we
took her there and then she was an underdog again versus Miranda Maverick and and we’re like I think she you can
outgrind Miranda Maverick and somebody that can’t get up from bottom and she was able to do that as well so I’m just
I honestly even think on the feet as well that Jasmine is is a better Striker so I’m not saying she’s a good Striker
at the very worst it’s still pick him on the feet and I’m gonna take the girl that’s longer and uh gonna be I think
the better grapple on the ground so Tracy Cortez to me from an offensive
standpoint as you saw versus Melissa Gatto as well just kind of like lay and pray I just didn’t really love
it and especially with these new rules of they’re just gonna stand him up all the time now I don’t love it Jasmine is
somebody at least I feel like more willing to do a little bit more ground and pound
not not much but will do more because she’s more confident in her top control
so give me Jasmine at plus money and uh yeah sorry to spoil the the Spanish
Knight I think I think our Jasmine here too but I’m not gonna sit here and act like you
know she’s some Olympic wrestler or some [ __ ] like that you know I’m not I’m not gonna [ __ ]
I mean she literally was at the Olympics for wrestling like she’s not [ __ ]
Kurt Angle she’s not [ __ ] Henry sahuto but like you just how I mean how
could we just take away somebody’s like [ __ ] trophy like that I I can’t do it
she she meddled at the Olympics no but to even go is still did she actually
really go to the Olympics yeah and didn’t she meddle I think I have it written
I haven’t read I mean she’s more like an upper body like wrestler she’s a silver she was a silver medalist but in
Canadian Freestyle Wrestling right like is that at the Olympics or was it at a Canada event there’s no way she’s an
Olympic silver medalist no she’s not she’s not Marco Madsen she’s not an Olympic silver medalist
well so but you were talking about Olympic wrestling you said Olympics just I mean just the okay Daniel Cormier is
an Olympic wrestler but he didn’t meddle either no but no but we’re saying that did she even I don’t think she competed
at was she on the Olympic team I don’t know I have to look that up that may be false
I may have misunderstood the the um
the Acumen I will look that up but I know that she’s a has a very high wrestling pedigree so she’s more of an
upper body wrestler I actually think that uh Cortez is a better wrestler here however the issue with Cortez she’s more
of a lay in prayer I’m sure she’s super heavy on top and what I like about Jasmine is that she’s got that dog in
her she’s it might not look the prettiest but she’s gonna push that pace and if it’s one to one going in that
third round Jasmine is actually the one that I trust to kind of put that pedal to the metal and just kind of dog it out
a little bit so it might be ugly but it’s going to be gritty and as long as
Jasmine doesn’t get grinded out here by who I think is the you know the stronger wrestler in Cortez
um I I think Jasmine can can win two of these rounds so I’m gonna go Jasmine
I like it I like it and and I’m once again I don’t have a five unit Max here I got two units
on Jasmine at the at the plus money put it was it was posted out there people make sure you’re following them and if
you aren’t already Mr half the battle uh himself uh best fight picks Daniel Levy
Guru Scott and MMA we’re all out there on the Twitter sphere Instagram all that make sure you’re doing your thing we got
Alex Reyes the Executioner um versus Charlie the cannibal Campbell
plus 340 for Reyes minus 440 for Campbell over one and a half is at plus 175 but I
kind of get it you know um both these guys are gonna come out and bang Alex Reyes I mean how long has it been
six years six years can we think of anybody’s layoff who’s even like that
long before I I don’t I don’t know yeah uh Nick Diaz and he looked terrible when he came back Matt Wyman he looked
terrible when he came back so yeah it doesn’t often go well and Dominic has been having so much success Dominic was
four years yeah yeah oh no I meant I meant but Dominic Reyes
was having something I’m back and join the fun uh but I mean
if anything um yeah I mean Campbell’s gonna be the bigger guy he’s going to be the younger guy
it’s just uh we’ve seen Campbell in the fire fight before it’s just Chris Duncan was able to to withstand some of that
damage I don’t think Reyes necessarily will be able to withstand that damage uh if it starts happening in a car crash in
the pocket I think the Executioner is going to turn into the executed it’s just I’m not putting money on Campbell
the cannibal at minus 440 here and I don’t really find a need to play his prop of anything it’s like dance talked
about many times we’ve got a guy making his debut that’s one factor making his debut on short notice
and yeah I mean we saw him when he took his step up on Contender series get finished so if you’re facing the guy
that has so many finishes I mean 13 in his career Alex Reyes if there was
anybody that would kind of turn back the clock and surprise people I mean it would be by finish against a guy that’s
showing us he can get caught it’s just the official pick is Charlie Campbell and I’m not putting my money on Alex
Reyes here I just don’t I don’t I don’t in I’m not enthusiastic about telling you guys to go and put your money on
Charlie Campbell so please don’t do it unless you want to listen to gamer gurudan who has a different idea uh
maybe they can is Alex Reyes an Olympic wrestler now
practitioner come on I mean he’s she’s also wrestled with Olympians I’m really I’m looking it up here oh she wrestled
with Olympians thank you thank you you know she’s not no she’s not an Olympic wrestler I I’ve obviously uh I
misunderstood uh even what I had wrote so that that is a mistake on my end but
she’s certainly a high quality wrestler Charlie Campbell is an awesome fighter
an exciting Fighter um not an Olympic level wrestler by any
means but I do like him in this fight and I kind of like I don’t want to
Parlay him per se minus 440 but as soon as some props come out I’d love to go for some early round props uh some sort
of finish prop perhaps even the KO because Alex Reyes is somebody who took
the fight six years ago first Mike Platinum Perry to be the co-main event
of Luke rockhold versus David Branch he took that fight on short notice and and
was a major Underdog and got starched quickly with knees and heavy rights it
just he just didn’t look very good at all Charlie Campbell is an ex is a very
solid fighter who you know obviously God is chin checked by Chris Duncan because he’s a little
reckless so I I just don’t necessarily think that I mean Alex right here sort of had to
make amazing improvements in the last six years what’s he even been doing so I
I like Charlie Campbell to get it done here but he’s still not my parlay bees
I think he should be man because think about this Reyes wasn’t even supposed to be in the UFC when he made his debut it
was supposed to be Mike Perry versus Thiago Alves and Alves had some kind of weird travel issues so they were
literally like [ __ ] like who can we call so they’re like all right call Dominic Reyes his little brother that has zero
business in the UFC I bet he’ll take the fight you know and he did take the fight so respect to him but you know he showed
he clearly doesn’t belong in 2017 why would he suddenly belong in 2023 you
know what’s interesting so after that fight that Reyes had in 2017
um Charlie Campbell hadn’t even had his first amateur fight yet so Charlie Campbell’s entire career including
amateur and pro started after Reyes got knocked out by Mike Perry and I like
this kid camel man I mean he reminds me of like a young clay Collard he’s aggressive he goes for it he’s hungry
he’s a finisher he’s gonna get in your face he’s gonna make you fight and for a guy coming off off a big layoff I mean I
I’d assume that you need a little space to kind of get your feet wet a little bit kind of take a deep breath or two
and Charlie’s not going to give him that opportunity so I think Charlie finishes him in one
you know if there was any prop to play it would definitely be the Charlie round one here I like that yeah I think he’s
dangerous and uh that I do like him I just felt like 440 is [ __ ]
super steep but yeah maybe I might well I mean I could stick him in there listen
listen I don’t mind being a little degenerate if there was any type of guy to Parlay I guess it this a guy that’s
after a round one finish here would it’s definitely going to look good in hindsight from a from a price perspective
um so here we go how about from a price perspective throwing Josephine Knutson Thunder minus 575 uh and versus marnick
the sawed-off Savage man um Josephine Newton
three years younger giving up five inches of reach they are even in height of five three uh nutsin if anything has
shown that she has absolutely um she has good enough IQ to like win
the fight by by any way but she doesn’t have good enough IQ to realize that like she’s actually gonna like push for a
finish when she has someone hurt and especially on a show where like finishes are like asked for
um I mean Isis for beak she should have put her away in round one after that head kick and just chooses to get in
close into clinch exchanges and then not even able to take that to the mat I the
way that verbeek looked early she lets her get back into the fight and have these individual moments where it’s just
like that’s why Dana this was the only fighter that Dana didn’t originally sign but now they’re like oh wow we had Noche
UFC and Yasmine lucindo needs an opponent or whatever so originally they were like all right bring in Josephine
on short notice she’ll take the fight to get in the UFC um but now instead of her getting you
know sawed off by Yasmin lucindo she’s getting a chance to take on the sawed-off Savage who also probably
doesn’t have any business in the UFC but they’re like well we already signed a book Josephine to fight at Noche UFC so
who the hell else can we get on this card uh to fill in the spot where we’ve had so many fallouts on this card
um yeah I think that’s how they settle down marnikman I just I mean this is another one where I’m like please don’t
parlay or play Josephine Newton at minus 575 I mean even almost say
uh Josephine Newton would be more likely to have this fight Go the Distance I see
the over two and a half and minus 210 so they have the right idea already just stay away just don’t do it I’m not sure
that I agree I I think Josephine nuts in his is fairly safe here um everything I saw on tape from marneck
man was uh fairly unimpressive from her getting from her being soft to the body
and I mean to me I mean almost at the wrong weight class uh she gets hurt early by Bruno Brazil and then gets head
kicked and we know how not very impressive she is and then in her Amber
Brown fight after that on LFA she drops loses and drops the entire first round
Hal mind you by getting held up against the cage
and then put on the floor if we know Josephine can do anything on
planet Earth it’s hold somebody up against the cage and just so you know you have the reach wrong she’s 64 inches
not 66 inches reach so it’s going to be three inches not five so that’s a I I
still don’t I just there’s nothing I don’t see anything in man’s game that’s like impressive in terms of like
a striking Acumen really at all like it’s not there so if the fight’s going
to be taking place any sort of grappling you’ve seen nutson’s proficiency at it
I I like her as well and I throw a channel Charlie Campbell in there as well just didn’t want to be too
sketchy with uh I guess they’re both short notice so it’s both kind of sketchy but why not go double sketch in
that regard so [ __ ] it we’ll go full send
the way people reacted when nutsun didn’t get signed to the UFC was nuts
son you know what I mean like this girl like literally she lands one good head kick and then the rest of the fight is a
clinch battle and people were acting like they saw God’s gift is striking it was absolutely disgusting and then all
the group think and people are acting like this girl was the next Joanna Young Jay check uh I mean I’m just so pissed
off that the lucindo fight wasn’t happening because all these people planning their flag about how this is a future top 15 fighter and this and that
give me a [ __ ] break but here she’s fighting the person that came off literally the most brutal women’s
knockout in Contender Series history against Bruno Brazil um so I mean I’m not impressed with
nothing no chance I’d ever lay minus five something let alone minus four something on her
um against anybody in the UFC but this is one she should win hopefully she looks impressive so we get we get a good
price to fader down the line I love it I love it it makes sense like
she is the the straight pick to win this fight and uh yeah I mean she should get
it done so if you have your your parlays and you want to get crazy just just do it safely you know someone making their
who’s that responsible we don’t want to we don’t want to blow our bankroll on it but I I kind of like it I do think that
she’s you know fairly safe and you can parlay her in over one and a half at minus 188 I mean on that oh man I’m just
I’m just itching to get there so itchy really appreciate it
if you made it this far you’re an absolute Legend I really appreciate anyone and everyone that made it in the
chat tonight you guys are awesome um really wouldn’t be the same without the the incredible Community we have in

Sean O’Malley interview with Teddy Atlas

Sean O'Malley interview with Teddy Atlas | THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas

Summary:

In this article, we will be discussing an interview with Sean O’Malley conducted by Teddy Atlas on THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas. O’Malley is a professional mixed martial artist and is currently the champion of the world. In the interview, O’Malley talks about his mindset, overcoming mental demons, and his journey in martial arts. He also discusses the possibility of entering the boxing ring for a crossover match. Let’s dive into the details of the interview.

Mindset and Overcoming Mental Demons

O’Malley starts by discussing his mindset walking into the cage. He mentions that he had no fear, nerves, or negative emotions on fight day. He was confident in his abilities and believed in his right hand’s knockout power. O’Malley shares that the last time he felt nervous before a fight was during his UFC debut. Since then, he has been able to maintain a calm and positive mindset through breathing exercises and staying centered and grounded.

Teddy Atlas acknowledges that many fighters experience fear before a fight, but O’Malley seems to be one of those confident fighters who show no signs of fear. O’Malley agrees and mentions that he has always been confident and never let fear affect his performance. He believes that it’s important to control what you do and make choices that lead to success, regardless of external factors.

Getting Back the One Blemish

The conversation then shifts to O’Malley’s only contested loss to Cheeto Rivera. O’Malley clarifies that the loss didn’t bother him personally and didn’t affect his competitive spirit. He states that he didn’t feel like he lost the fight because he didn’t believe Rivera was better than him. O’Malley’s focus is on the next biggest fight, and he sees Rivera as the biggest name in the division. He is excited about the opportunity to fight Rivera and believes he will have a beautiful performance.

Journey in Martial Arts

O’Malley shares his introduction to martial arts and MMA. He explains that he started at the age of 16 because he was insecure and wanted to impress people. He had been an athlete his whole life, playing various sports, but high school sports didn’t interest him. He found boxing and kickboxing and became obsessed with them. At 18, he transitioned to MMA and started wrestling and grappling at the age of 20. O’Malley admits that his journey was different from most fighters, but he persevered through the challenges and continues to learn and improve.

Embracing Being the Worst

Teddy Atlas brings up the importance of being comfortable with being the worst when starting a new sport. O’Malley agrees and shares his own experience. He mentions that even to this day, there are fighters in the gym who can outperform him in certain aspects. When he joined the MMA lab, he had never wrestled before, and it was a challenging experience for his ego. However, he knew that he would improve and become capable of doing what the more experienced fighters were doing. O’Malley emphasizes that the journey of improvement never stops and that being surrounded by talented fighters is a sign of being in a good gym.

Possibility of Entering the Boxing Ring

Teddy Atlas asks O’Malley if he would consider entering the boxing ring for a crossover match, similar to Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. O’Malley reveals that he has a 1-0 pro boxing record and enjoyed his time boxing when he was injured and unable to wrestle and do jiu-jitsu. He believes he has the skills to be a high-level boxer and has power in both hands, good eyes, timing, speed, and length. O’Malley expresses his desire to box and believes he can beat some of the top boxers, including Javonte Davis. He acknowledges that there are challenges with the UFC’s rights and matchmaking, but he is confident that if the opportunity arises and it makes sense financially, the UFC would support him.

Closing Remarks

Teddy Atlas concludes the interview by thanking O’Malley for his time and commending him for representing himself well and being intelligent and well-spoken. He shares that his son, who is a fan of O’Malley, appreciates his talent and character. O’Malley expresses his gratitude for the kind words and the enjoyable conversation.

In this interview, Sean O’Malley provides insights into his mindset, journey in martial arts, and the possibility of entering the boxing ring. He showcases his confidence and determination to continue improving and taking on new challenges. O’Malley’s story serves as an inspiration for aspiring fighters and highlights the importance of perseverance and embracing the journey of improvement.

hope it would be maybe that’s the best way to ask yeah it’s a tricky
answer because I don’t know if I have the vocabulary for the emotions that I felt or or how to express it or explain
it but Boston will forever have a special place in my heart um first time going out there it was a
perfect fight week as far as you know everything went smooth and it was just uh the arena even the press conference
leaving the press conference people banging on the Sprinter van just crowds of people you know I Me growing up not
growing up but more recently watching Connor kind of go through that I was like damn that’s that’s what I want
that’s legendary that’s what I want and that was kind of my first time getting
that Superstar feel being the main event and uh so just the whole event was
incredible and then to go out there and put algeman Sterling lights out in the second round um yeah it’s hard to explain it it
didn’t it didn’t feel maybe I’ll say I wasn’t as emotional as I thought I would have been
but I also you know a lot of people if they win the world tighter title they’re
like like Sean Strickland this weekend’s like I never ever in my life thought I would you know be that be there for me
it’s different I’ve known in my mind in a delusional sense that 100 not
delusional not delusional but go ahead I’m sorry I think well I think you know when I’m 16 17 years old and I’ve never
even you know been in an MMA fight telling people I’m gonna be World Champ there was a little bit of delusion early
on in my career which I think is important for you know a little bit of delusion in in uh some people might just
call it a dream yeah yeah but it felt it felt good so I feel I still feel like I
do have a lot more work to do and a lot more you know a lot a lot more big big
big special fights in my future um and I’m 28 right now so I still have
a good amount of time left so so so it was exciting but it was on to the next right away has has the time that
it’s been it’s been a few weeks now has the time that has passed help you kind
of come to terms with it a little more where you couldn’t that night because
you just said it perfectly that your emotions were in all kinds of places they had never been in before now with
time having passed do you have a better sense of it
yeah I do think the more the weeks have went on it kind of hits me a little bit
more like whoa like when people you know I’ve been called champ for a long time but now people call me champ it’s like
it’s official it is a little bit different it definitely hits me a little bit I’ve
watched that I’ve rewatched the fight like thrown on the pay-per-view throwing on the song Superstar because when you
go watch the the fight on ESPN they took out the walkout music and for me the
walkout is is as exciting as just being me watching it as the fight itself so I
I’ll mute the audio I’ll throw on Superstar on my speaker and I’ll watch the walk out all the boys gather around
and we’ve watched the fight two or three times kind of pretending like we don’t know what’s gonna happen and that’s
what’s that’s so fun for me yeah that’s cool they’re Rolling Stones coming on stage ladies and gentlemen
you know there’s there’s nothing quite like that yeah
um you used his name so I I had his name in my mind so I’m gonna piggyback off
that a little bit Conor McGregor Are You The Heir Apparent uh to the throne I think you are but listen I know it’s
your throne I know you’re gonna create your own Throne I get all that um obviously but there’s always a pretty
decides that there’s always somebody that does it first you know and to his credit he’s a Pioneer he he changed
things in his sport you know he brought purses to a higher level do you envision yourself as again the the you know
taking that baton of your will having that torch passed on to you and taking
the the sport uh to other places and Fighters uh and the recognition of these
fighters to other places and as Connor did the persons to higher places do you
envision yourself as that guy yeah 100 it was but you know before Connor got into the UFC I kind of had
this Vision in my head that I wanted to I wanted to come in and take over to the next level because I didn’t feel like
UFC at least from when I started watching ever had someone come in and be that guy so for me watching Connor do it
it was legendary I’m the probably the biggest Conor fan in the world I’ve I’ve watched every interview every fight you
know every everything that Connor’s ever said I’ve watched I’ve studied I’m a massive fan of Connor so yeah I
definitely you know took inspiration from Connor and he took it to the next level and I do truly believe I can be
the next guy to take it to the next level the ufd has grown massively in the last three years once Cove had started I
think Dana said they grew about 40 which is you know they damn near doubled since
kovitz started and Conor hasn’t really fought since then so uh you know Conor
was a massive massive Superstar and now they’ve grown 40 since then so my
opportunity to to be more viewed is is huge and I do think I can take it to the
next level as far as a lot of different things money wise um I I’ve been preaching about
management stuff I think Fighters are getting screwed over in certain management situations and I do think you
know once it’s my time to be able to uh make a change I’m gonna make a change

and I you set up a beautiful
matter of fact before I even say that I have to touch on what you just said about being a big kind of McGregor fan
and influenced by Conor McGregor I I would almost be you know
wrong if I didn’t ask you having said that that he influenced I know your
skills didn’t I know your temperament did and your instincts did I I understand that but did he influence you
being more prone to be the great kind of puncher that you are because for me
Conor McGregor he was a great I mean really at his period during that that
that that margin of time that he was really special he was a tremendous
obviously he could punch but he was a tremendous kind of punch and he knew how to set traps and you are you are that
too so before I go down the road of the question I was about to ask did he influence you in that way as far as
saying wow when I watched this guy and how beautiful it is that he gets guys to do what he wants them to do
um come in get a little reckless where he can pull the trap on him did did he
have some influence over that um maybe a little bit I I don’t I don’t
maybe not because I feel like I’ve been uh kind of counter punching and doing that
similar style before I even just naturally have a 16 17 year old kid that was never I was never taught how to
properly slip to you know to these certain movements I just kind of naturally did
them as I feel like I’m truly born to be a fighter and my instincts are there and uh I’ve definitely improved on all of
those and I’ve you know I’ve picked up Little tips and tricks from so many different Fighters Conor being one of
them for sure um but as far as counter punch I think I was just naturally I think a lot of
people are either counter punchers or they’re not I feel like what makes me different is I can literally do both at
a very high level I can punch going backwards I can punch going forward um true but yeah I agree Connor Connor
definitely is one one of the nicest counter punchers and I’ve definitely take a little influence from it but not
a not not a ton from that well that’ll bring me to this you just touched on it again
um that you first of all I think that part of being a counter puncher or whatever it is is attached to your
personality I I and I think that that goes hand in hand with you you know the
I use the word electric you could say different I
I describe certain special Fighters Roy Jones one of them where they could do
things differently they could even do things wrong they could go against the one-on-one Playbook the manuscript of
how to do things and they can make wrong right I see you as that guy I also see you as a guy that and I said this about
again special Fighters um kind of like Anderson Silva who to me
is one of the greatest of all time um in in your sport and Terence Crawford who just had a
spectacular win against Spence so I think it’s in a special place I look at you in that kind of way and I don’t look
at too many people that way where they create their own music they they have a music in their head and
and they just created and they can make up tunes that up until that point we
might not have been familiar with kind of like a Jimi Hendrix on a guitar you know all of a sudden he hits a different
string and you say whoa that’s different you know um do you see are you that I mean
because to me you are like does that make sense to you that and and I guess
the final way it ended would be the way I ended with with Crawford when I
interviewed him was that he makes things up as he does it
you know where he’s got that ability again to make his own music of your will
um to make it up right at the moment to just improvise uh I know you train of what you do I
know you’re working what you do I know you drill it what you do but there is improvisation uh with the special ones
the ones that have those kind of instincts can you talk about that can you explain that or uh yeah I feel like
I feel like I know exactly what you’re saying and yeah I do feel like category it’s not like
uh my faint my speed are really Next Level I do think I was just
naturally gifted with speed and I think for many speeds the number one attribute that I would you know if I was creating
a fighter I want to be the fastest guy in there if you can’t hit me low chances if you win in the fight so
yeah I do think I kind of fit into my own category and as far as improvising before every fight I walk out I have a
conversation with myself that I’m going to completely you know let go and let my higher self take over and I’m not gonna
I’m gonna react to the situation yeah we have game plans like my game plan this fight was to no low kicks Al Joe every
single time he gets it not every time but a lot of the times he gets a takedown people are trying to kick his legs and he pushes forward knocks him
off balance so it was it was a simple game plan no leg kicks box and teeth that was simple don’t get taken down
um but as far as that like that I’m not thinking I’m not in there trying to I’m literally just reacting to whatever
happens I have no remembrance I have no memory of you know throwing that that
punch I don’t I have very little memory of actually being in the Octagon because I feel like I completely kind of you
know disassociate and let my higher self take over um I would add one other thing to the attributes besides speed which
obviously stands out um timing your timing is is pretty damn
good actually um I wanna I wanna go right to the fight you did something unfolded and it
usually does for me the watching them fight is like reading a book there’s chapters to it you know sometimes the
chapters are kind of quick but sometimes sometimes the book is longer there’s a
story to it and there was a story taking place for my eyes where the first round
was a non-eventful round not much goal but there was something going on you were watching you were you were storing
data up in your head and you know the cliche would be it was a fill out round
okay you’re seeing things and I thought I saw things and I wonder if I saw the same things you did where
even though it was non-eventful he tried to go to your body a couple times and he overextended a little early in around
you didn’t do nothing you saw it I would think you put it in your memory
bank in the computer if you will but you didn’t act on it and then something
happened I thought train changed really the whole trajectory of the fight
where and I believe in faith I believe in things happen because we put ourselves in position to make them
happen and there’s a comma and at the end of the first round another
eventful round I mean you probably give it to the referee rather than to you or or to Sterling uh and then all of a
sudden he gets a little aggressive and he gets into you and he gets his hands on you which is what everyone was
waiting for to get you where the next step would be get you to the ground and
he gets into you doesn’t get you on the ground and the bell rings and I said to myself right there wow that might be the
end of Sterling and and people thought I was like out of my mind like he just
went around teddy he just stalled around I said yeah yeah no no no no doubt about it he but to me it was kind of like he
he might have won a battle but he just lost the war because he’s gonna think he
could do more of that he’s going to get more aggressive and that means that he’s going to play into the hands of Sean
O’Malley who is great at kind of punching you can’t kind of punch if somebody doesn’t come forward if
somebody doesn’t give you something to counter and he’s going to give him something to kind of now and I think it
might be his downfall and then sure enough the second round the Bell Rings what
does he do he comes in there he Elven extends he reaches well left hand to the body and this time you didn’t do nothing
this time bang you chew the counter punch and that was it can you take us
through that please am I right am I out of my mind no I mean look for the first
round yeah I definitely wasn’t a everyone on the the judges scored it him
winning the round for me I wasn’t in there to fight for Rounds I’m not I don’t I didn’t care if he won the first
four rounds I literally go into these fights trying to take someone’s head off that’s my game plan
um so for me to go in there in the first round and not get taken down once and have him in a clinch and not be able to
take me down was a huge win for me that even for my confidence just for the game
plan itself because every second that went by when aljo didn’t take me down
made him frustrated made him think that this isn’t go even if he won the round it’s
not where he wants it to be he does not want it to be on the feet so for that first round was a huge win for me
um and then the second round yeah I mean it very well could have been him thinking okay now I’ve got in on him once
I can do it again and I’m gonna Force something very well could have been that I feel like it was just I give him so
much anxiety from me not really doing anything other than fainting at him fainting out and fainting at him moving
circling him not being able to grab me that he’s you know he’s just gonna he’s gonna say it and I’m gonna try to
hit this dude and uh you know I wasn’t there to be hit and he was so but yeah I mean it very well could have been I
think only aljo really knows what what he was thinking and feeling but for me it was it was the to play that kind of
game the whole fight even if it was a boring fight um I wasn’t gonna go in there and um
make the first mistake do you think maybe you gave him a force I guess maybe this is the way I want to say did you
give him a full sense of confidence where he could be more aggressive than
he should have been you know in the way that it turns out to be Reckless where he could just come in whether it was to
come in to draw punch the body or whether it was coming to get you know the the takedown but that by not
punching by only feigning by doing your dance if you will for the first round that maybe he forgot how dangerous you
are maybe he forgot what he should not do yeah yeah I think looking thinking
back too like it really wasn’t a bad punch you look at the UFC this weekend like how many people made that kind of
same punch that same it wasn’t like a bad mistake or a bad over extension it
was just my timing of speed was just on the next the next level I I think you
know it really it really wasn’t like a super bad puncher it was just no but you
created it you did create it I mean I’m not you know I mean you did your own
painting there uh you you for me you were the spider that invited the beetle
into the web you know and and you you gave them another old cliche give
somebody enough rope to hang themselves you gave them enough space to basically make a mistake and leave a hole and um
obviously you took great great advantage of that um I the the one other thing before I
give it to Ken I guess I want to ask you just something about this weekend that
just passed because she touched on it about the punches that took place um
for me when we talk about special talents it’s you now I think adesanya is
one of those guys and he obviously just got beat it was a big big upset
were you as shocked as most people were um by what
Maybe by what and I know some of it’s got to do with Strickland obviously he had a great fight plan great fight plan
you got to give him credit um they’re using his jab not getting out of position not making mistakes being
steady you know there’s talent in being steady you know there’s talent in the neon talents but there’s always talent
and ability and just being steady and consistent and he was all of that but Arizona didn’t seem to be himself
with that you know creating his own music type style um Rhythm uh
electricity did that when you watch that were you surprised that that
out of sign it was not quite what he had been in the past yeah I I mean I was
for me I was like Izzy didn’t look he didn’t look as sh as quick he looked a
little bit more flat-footed I know he likes to pull back he kind of pulled back but just punches and leaves his
feet flat and he gets away with that a lot of guys but I think uh I think everyone including myself was underestimating Sean Strickland’s skills
and um and what he brought to the table he had really really good pressure and again he wasn’t is he such a good
counter-striker but Sean really wasn’t throwing a ton to be countered if he
were thrown were hard and fast and accurate so it was hard to counter those he wasn’t popping his jab out there too
much just randomly to be countered Sean had a really really good fight a game plan even though he says game plan was
to wrestle but I mean his that style it was a tricky one that pressure
for I did not feel like anything was himself I feel like he you need to get respect early in that
fight and crack Strickland like in the first round and really kind of let him know hey you can’t just walk forward but
who knows what was going on with Izzy if he had uh you know mental if he had something going on mentally or
physically maybe an injury of some sort or Sean Strickland just showed up no excuses and Izzy lost that fight but I’m
a huge Izzy fan and uh you know he definitely didn’t look like the you know
the dancing having fun Izzy in there but you know that’s yeah yeah I do want to
give credit to Sean Strickland because he looked like a Savage yeah me too I want to get more and listen I said I’d
give it to Ken but one other thing um I you just touched again and you
don’t you never know if there’s something wrong you don’t know what a person’s Camp was you don’t know where
he is mentally you don’t know where he is physical you just don’t know I gotta ask this question then going into this
there was a lot of talk about that you were injured your ribs that you couldn’t do certain things going into your fight
um with Sterling that you had an injury you couldn’t do certain kind of training
that you normally would do um can you talk on that a little bit I mean obviously you had such an
extraordinary performance everybody forgot about that but for me fighting is about overcoming the guys have become
Champions they’re not only talented they’re resilient they’re determined they’re tough mentally they find a way
to overcome something and I just want to put out for the audience because a lot of times when you see these special
athletes do something special like you they don’t realize that they may have been compromised they may have been
injured but you know what this part takes over the mental part where they just do it because you have to do it
because you’re not going to get another and that’s part of being a champion and um I just see if you could maybe expand
on that yeah you know what’s really cool UFC’s having a crazy documentary that’s going out in 2024 and so they were
following me around you know 10 12 days before the fight and then after the fight but yeah I had a six weeks before
the fight you know I’m smart I’m sparring really really good Grapplers and I’m spotting really really strong
guys so I’m trying to emulate algebra Sterling the best Grappler so everyone’s plan in sparring was to go in take me
down take my back that was that was the game plan for all my sparring partners I was sparring good Grapplers so my third
round fresh guy so first round fresh guy stuck around fresh guy third round fresh guy comes in and uh you know I was on my
back and he was trying to take my back I turned real hard and I feel my rib feel something and I know instantly that it’s
you know that’s not that’s not good I’ve had plenty of rib injuries and and it sucked and and yeah so for six
weeks I couldn’t grapple at all I couldn’t even play in the clinch a little bit we kind of tested it a couple
weeks after I heard it and I realized I was like yeah there’s no way I could even you know it can’t do any kind of
wrestling so there was thoughts about pulling out for like a couple couple days and then I was like it’s in it’s in
Boston I’m fighting for a title I’m gonna go out there and I’m gonna try to knock this dude out and if I get
finished I I get finished I was I accepted that if if the fight doesn’t
play out my way you know I’m 28 I’m gonna get it out there and heal up and
get out there again so in my mind it was like it was it was life or death being taken down before the injury now that I
have this injury it was for sure like I have to execute my game plan I had no choice but to execute my game plan that
was my mindset um all fight week was just I have to keep it on the feet if I keep it on the feet I will knock this dude out
um so yeah but yeah that was I was dealing with a lot of mental demons for sure yeah and you dealt with them and that’s
why you’re championing the world and that’s the point I want to make to the people out there because everyone deals with their demons I I don’t give you an
octagon you’re in a ring or if you’re going to work for your family whatever it is everyone’s dealing with these
obstacles these demons and they’re you know at the end of the day there’s a way
to overcome them by making your mind up that you’re going to overcome them that
you know by controlling what you do that at the end of the day I always say no
matter what’s going on no matter how you feel it’s your choice what you do it’s
it’s not the guy in front of you it’s it’s not the air that’s going on and
swirling around with all the crazy stuff going on it’s your choice and obviously
you made the choice to be your champion of the world and I’m glad that you touched on that and you said that to
audience um Ken oh thanks Teddy hey Sean real quick uh just two questions first
um talk about your mindset walking into the cage because we’ve interviewed a ton of world champions Teddy’s trained 18
world champions in boxing and one thing that most guys will admit is that they do feel an incredible amount of fear how
how it manifests itself is different in every guy but as you’re walking in do you ever does does it go through your
mind like I have put in so much work and now it’s time I’m fighting for the world title or do you have you blocked that
fear out and it’s just complete enthusiasm and blind confidence or are you wrestling with holy it’s on
it’s time like talk to me about those feelings yeah zero fear zero nerve zero any
negative emotions uh fight day I mean really all fight week I was you know I I
was very confident and I said it in all my interviews that I have a right hand that can snipe someone’s chin
um and I knew I knew that was a possibility in the fight I I don’t remember the last time I was
actually I do the last time I was nervous for a walkout and everything was my UFC debut when I fought Tyrion where
I was that was the last time I was nervous in the backstage before a fight um I have zero nerves zero yeah zero
negative emotions in the back can’t just pure positive mantras positive feelings
and and for me I get if zero level zero was you know the most calm you could
possibly be penned was excited negative 10 scared I’m right out of zero I’m
emotionless for the most part I’m very calm and uh that’s how I perform best
and that’s kind of how I I get to that state just through breathing um a series of breath work that I have
with my my strength and conditioning coach Brandon Harris we run through some breath work and I just I’m very centered
and grounded and just very calm before my fights I love that the reason I asked
it is because some guys you could tell they’re they’re scared and they’ll tell you like yeah I was scared to death but
I knew I had a job to do it doesn’t get in the way of their performance but then there’s a few guys where they’re so
confident and almost bordering on arrogant that I’m like I don’t think this guy is scared and you’re one of
those guys Izzy has that Conor has a degree of that but there are a few guys and I’m just like man do they really not
fair any feel any fear anyway it didn’t look like you were scared by any means I was just curious next question how
important is it for you to get back that one blemish I know you’re still undefeated but the one uh contested lost
to Cheeto Rivera I say that obviously in jest uh how important is it to you to get that one back and right that wrong
I mean to be honest as a
I don’t have to fight I was it never affected me The Undefeated part comes from the competitor in me and I
didn’t feel like I lost that fight because he was better um but for like getting that fight back on a personal level it’s never bothered
me once ever you know I’m you know I’ve made way more money than
that dude will ever make of where that dude wants to be so I’ve never felt like that took away anything from me on a
competitive level again I still never felt like I really lost that fight so for me I wanted the Cheeto fight because
simply it’s the next biggest fight I’m getting Pay-Per-View fight if marab was the biggest fight I would want murab if
Corey was the next biggest fight I’d wait for Corey none of those guys are biggest fights Cheetos the biggest fight
you know partially because of our past and just because I think he’s got the biggest name uh the second biggest name
in the division so uh you know that fight just works out really well with
that uh art with our history so um but yeah I’m excited to get to get in
there with Cheeto I feel like I will uh have a beautiful performance if that’s what’s next
love it last thing uh I told you before we started my eight-year-old son is a
jiu jitsu fighter he’s wrestlings taking Judo he boxes with Teddy he’s obsessed with it can you just quickly talk me
through how what was your introduction to uh martial arts MMA Etc how’d you get started and what was that what’d that
Journey look like in a nutshell well I’ll I’ll uh limit it then um I was 16
years old and I was super insecure going into high school and I wanted to get chicks so
that’s partially true you know I I wanted to I was super insecure I was going to I think I was going to like my
sophomore year freshman year somewhere around whatever that age is and uh just a little little dude and wanted to
wanted to impress people wanted to be I was an athlete my entire life football basketball soccer baseball every single
month of every single year I was playing a sport and uh you know I was starting to get old like high school sports
weren’t really my thing because I didn’t enjoy High School I didn’t get good grades I didn’t even want to go to school so I needed to find something
that I could do that didn’t require that and and I found uh found boxing I found kickboxing and you know I kind of became
obsessed with that then when once I turned 18 I got into MMA and uh start I
didn’t even really start wrestling and grappling hard till I was 20 years old to move to the MMA lab so my journey was
a little bit different I feel like the most but everyone’s unique to themselves uh but yeah it was it’s been good so far
right last thing along those lines is one of the things that I talked to him about all the time is because he’s
trying all these new sports like when he went to wrestling and he had been doing Jiu Jitsu I said to him listen if you’re
not comfortable being the worst the first day you’re never gonna get to be the best you don’t just get to show up
and be the best because if you did what the hell good would it be to be the best if some guy could just show up off the
street and beat the brakes off you I said get comfortable not be in the best and learn how comfortable how easy was
it for you to get up to speed because we all know about that first day you walk into a gym and you just feel like you have two left feet you can’t throw a
punch but how was the journey for you from getting to that point to the point where you couldn’t get to the gym fast
enough yeah I mean for me it’s even still to this day I go to the gym and there’s
guys that I’m are whooping up on me choking me Jiu Jitsu and it’s just like I
especially going to the MMA lab never have you wrestled like the MMA lab is known for grappling High Pace wrestling
just you know and I came there as at 19 years old never Wrestled a day of my life so it was miserable for years
literally years and it was very hard for my ego but you know I knew I was going
to improve and I knew I just needed to learn and I could be capable of doing what they’re doing but yeah for a long
long long time and even still to this day I’ll go to the gym and get whooped up on so I I feel like yeah it’s I’m
still going through that and I don’t think I’ll ever stop and that’s how you know you’re at a good gym you walk in
there against some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu guy and uh you know you shouldn’t be the
best guy in the gym ever thank you brother you know Sean I said while commentating
on you know performances at times uh especially when you were when I was
senior early on that you look like a boxer in the ring would you and obviously you do would you
consider going into the ring in a crossover match you know Allah McGregor and and Mayweather you know some years
ago yeah I mean I before I think I have 1-0 pro boxing record nothing crazy right
but I got injured I got injured on uh and I wasn’t wasn’t able to really wrestler Jujitsu so for about six months
there I just dead I just went to boxing I straight boxed went to the boxing gym was sparring Monday Wednesday Friday you
know running do just training boxing and uh you know I loved it I thought it was a lot of fun and uh you know I’ve I’ve
knocked the dude out broke the dude’s jaw in the first round with a left hand and uh that I can I can box really high
level from both stances I have power in both hands I have really good eyes I have good timing I have good speed I
have good length I have all you everything you need to become a good boxer I haven’t dedicated my life to boxing and if I did I’d be a world
champion boxer but I still truly believe that I can beat some of these guys especially guys like javonta Davis who
are five two and I know that’s uh people don’t like the idea like oh you’re copying Conor and all this stuff but I
mean I’ve had a pro box and fight before Connor and Floyd even you know did their boxing match so I’ve liked boxing for a
long time I want to and I will the same feeling I had of me becoming a World Champ that true knowing in my heart that
I was gonna happen I will box I don’t know if it’s going to be Javonte Davis because I know uh and I I think I think they know that
maybe hey let’s not we don’t need to do that what happens if jabante loses to me that’s not good for him so I don’t know
if it’ll be jervante because I don’t think they’d take that but there’s there you know maybe I start lower on the on the on the the list of boxers and go out
there and box a guy that’s not too good but you know It’s Tricky with the UFC you know I’ve signed my rights away at
UFC which I’m happy to do I loved UFC and I’ve talked to UFC about this before
and they said hey if you and you know opponent are both
big enough and you guys can do massive pay-per-views we are 100 down to get behind it I don’t even know what Javonte
Davis is a big enough star at this point right now I think maybe he needs to go out there and get a couple more wins but
that’s something I want to do bad that’s something that’s going to happen and uh
I I would be very excited if I got a six month boxing Camp I think I would be very very dangerous and surprise a lot
of people if you do that I know a boxing trainer that might be able to help you right

Is the UFC Paying Kevin Holland to Lose?

If the UFC Paying Kevin Holland to Lose?

Summary:

In this article, we will discuss the upcoming fight between Jack Della Madalena and Kevin Holland and explore whether the UFC wants Holland to lose. Both fighters have had interesting career paths, with Holland being known for his willingness to take on any opponent and Della Madalena being carefully matched up until now.

The Importance of a Win for Della Madalena

Della Madalena believes that a win over Kevin Holland will put him in a good position to fight one of the top contenders in his division. He is open to fighting in different weight classes, but currently, he is being given 170-pound fights. He just wants to get paid and is willing to take on any opponent the UFC gives him.

Is Kevin Holland the Right Matchup for Della Madalena?

The question arises whether Kevin Holland is the right matchup for Della Madalena at this stage of his career. Della Madalena has been carefully curated in his career, similar to how Sean O’Malley was handled, with a series of first-round finishes and performance bonuses. However, his last fight was a split decision, indicating that he may have faced a tougher challenge. On the other hand, Kevin Holland is known for his exciting fighting style and willingness to take on anyone. He has defeated several veterans in his division and has finished all of his opponents. This matchup will be a test for both fighters.

The UFC’s Expectations for Kevin Holland

Kevin Holland has gained attention for his outspoken personality and willingness to take on any opponent. He even accepted a fight with Khamzat Chimaev on short notice, despite ultimately losing. While Holland has been matched up against veterans in the past, this fight against Della Madalena is a step up in competition. If Holland can defeat Della Madalena, it will prove that he can compete with the best in the division. However, if he fails to do so, it may be seen as a disappointment for the UFC.

The Different Career Paths of Della Madalena and Holland

Della Madalena has been given carefully curated fights throughout his career, gradually building up his record and experience. He has been matched up against veterans and has been successful in defeating them. On the other hand, Holland has taken on a number of fights in a short period of time, gaining experience and making a name for himself. While Della Madalena has been given the right opponents to build his record, Holland has been matched up against veterans and has finished them all.

The UFC’s Approach to Building Stars

The UFC’s approach to building stars can vary. Some fighters are given carefully curated fights against veterans to build their record and experience, while others are thrown into tough matchups to test their skills and potential. In the case of Della Madalena and Holland, it is interesting to see how their careers have been handled. Della Madalena has been given the right opponents to build his record, while Holland has taken on any fight that comes his way. This matchup between the two fighters will determine which approach is more effective in building a successful career.

The Dana White Privilege

There has been speculation that Della Madalena’s rise in the UFC is due to what some call “Dana White Privilege.” This refers to the favoritism shown by UFC President Dana White towards fighters who come from the Contender Series. Della Madalena gained attention after his impressive performance on the show, and it is believed that this played a role in his quick rise to the main card of a pay-per-view event. However, it is important to note that Della Madalena has proven himself in his fights and has earned his spot in the UFC.

The Case of Christian Rodriguez

The case of Christian Rodriguez is another example of how the UFC’s matchmaking can be unpredictable. Rodriguez was brought in to fight Della Madalena, with many believing that he was being set up to lose. However, Rodriguez proved to be a tough challenge for Della Madalena and ultimately defeated him. This shows that the UFC’s matchmaking is not always about giving fighters the right opponents to build their record, but rather about creating exciting matchups and opportunities for fighters to prove themselves.

The Nate Diaz Effect

Kevin Holland has been compared to Nate Diaz in terms of his ability to maintain his popularity and fan support even in the face of losses. Diaz has become known for his exciting fighting style and his ability to bounce back from losses. Similarly, Holland’s willingness to take on any opponent and his entertaining personality have endeared him to fans, regardless of the outcome of his fights. This makes him a valuable asset to the UFC, as he can continue to draw in viewers and generate interest in his fights.

Conclusion

The upcoming fight between Jack Della Madalena and Kevin Holland will be an interesting matchup between two fighters with different career paths. Della Madalena has been carefully curated in his career, while Holland has taken on any opponent that comes his way. The UFC’s approach to building stars can vary, with some fighters being given carefully curated fights to build their record, while others are thrown into tough matchups to test their skills. The matchup between Della Madalena and Holland will determine which approach is more effective in building a successful career.

It will be interesting to see how their styles and approaches to fighting clash in the Octagon. Regardless of the outcome, both fighters have proven themselves to be exciting and talented competitors in the UFC.

I think so I think a good win over Kevin
Owen will get me into a nice spot to
fight one of the top contenders whatever
they give me to be honest with you if
they gave me 85 fights you know I’d be
fighting 85 but it seems like uh I’m
getting 170 pound fights right now so
I’ll take whatever they give me I just
want to get paid
the UFC have given him Kevin Holland is
this a good matchup for Jack Della
madalena is this where he should be in
his career because when you get a
superstar potential Champion you want to
caress them along nicely don’t you like
Sean O’Malley he got that treatment
worked out perfectly with Jack as well
he got three first round finishes in the
UFO four first round finishes and UFC
three performance of the night bonuses
but his last fight was a split decision
and yeah I’m not saying he struggled but
it was a split decision Sean Brady may
have been a tougher fight we don’t know
we haven’t seen the Kevin Holland fight
it’s going to be a different challenge
right but they did try and push him Sean
Brad is a top 10 guy what does this mean
for Kevin Holland though it’s kind of
perpetually now in welterweight his
whole thing is about like showing up and
showing off isn’t it he’s the big mouth
he took the fight with Hamza on a day’s
notice because he was like yeah [ __ ] it
I’ll change opponents even though he
lost it was quite exciting for the
minute and a half that it lasted Kevin’s
really interesting because he’s kind of
been always put against these veterans
and like he took out jackery Alex
Oliveira veteran Tim Means veteran
ponzanibio he’s just had veteran veteran
veteran veteran and he’s finished them
all now with Kevin we’re like Okay Kevin
so if we’re going to keep moving you
upwards towards the title picture like
this is a really good test for Kevin
Holland I think this is entirely down to
JDM I think this is his moment to prove
that he can compete with some of the
best in the division and if he can’t get
past Kevin then I think that that is a
disappointing result for the UFC because
I feel like Kevin is one of those
Fighters that through wins or losses the
fans generally will support him because
of the personality that he has there are
just these guys that really don’t lose
in losses anyways so even if Kevin loses
against ADM I don’t think it’s
particularly like the worst thing for
him he’s that guy that shows up and
fights people just because he wants to
put on a good show Kevin has only fought
the veterans they haven’t even given
Jack veterans Jack’s just now like
fighting the top contents and the young
guys like if you’re building up a star
typically you do give him the veterans
don’t you I feel like Kevin Holland in
fights in she number of fights he is he
should be classed as a veteran because
he’s been in the USC for a long time now
and he’s fought tons of people that
happened in his last fight right where
he said I’m supposed to be the new kid
but he’s had more fights than here yeah
which is great and kiessa was in seven
years in the UFC tough 16 15. yeah okay
so Kevin Hunter has has had a ton of
fights but he’s kind of a prospect in
the welterweight because he’s come down
what in the past two years but he’s
already had a ton of fights there like
five fights like he’s already fought
twice this year before in April and July
but yeah it’s interesting having two
really active guys both in in the same
division in a place where you think you
would kind of separately promote them so
they can each have their own title runs
rather than putting them together so
it’s that oh that classic case of like
do the best fight the best or is it like
should they be more tricky about who
they get matched up again and that’s why
it’s interesting as well because
typically you do make your way through
the veterans there’s a lot of veterans
in that division for guys to take on
shav cat Jeff Newman before that Neil
Maggie again so just making his way
through these veterans the good thing
about this fight as well is we’re going
to kind of see Kevin Holland is a guy
who took any fight he could get wins
losses whatever and then you also got
Jack Della madalena who’s kind of not
getting those curated fights but as up
until this point been given the right
opponents let’s say so with Raul roses
Jr on the card who they tried to sort of
set up accordingly because he is a
really young guy and also then failed at
like the second test ever it’s going to
be interesting to see like what will
benefit Raul more continuously being fed
the right opponents to build his record
or going for a bit of adversity and
losing to somebody that perhaps he
should have won but he did lose compare
that to Kevin and Jack Kevin has taken
that road of fight anybody wins and
losses and Jack’s getting the right
opponents who comes out what a better
career path is what I’m trying to say
how does that happen though where a 17
18 year old gets a lot of height coming
from the contender series against Tom
petitioned that yeah he was a lot better
than but how does he go into a main card
pay-per-view against a guy who’s had
probably two or three years more
experience than him and for that guy to
be the underdog it’s because of the Dana
White Privilege because he goes on about
all the time how much he loves Tuesday
night Contender series and it’s his
favorite thing ever and Rosa Studio came
off there looked really good in his
fight which is only up to the Roses
Junior he’s the only one that can put on
that performance but then Dana loves
that and he’s a prodigy and he’s going
to be the next Jon Jones and go in there
and beat everyone and that’s the reason
he’s getting pushed on Main car because
he wants that kind of like crazy
youngest ever Champion story it’s kind
of like an Aaron Pico situation isn’t it
and he also lost but he came out much
better fighter after Christian Rodriguez
was so horrendously disrespected going
into that fight because if the career
was great it wasn’t bad at all only had
one loss and they were like oh we’ll
feed him to Rose’s Junior so maybe that
isn’t a case of what I said where it’s
like with Rose’s Junior let’s give him
the right opponents maybe they did give
him a tough challenge I just think
everyone was just living in that bubble
of this kid cannot go wrong he’s the
future he’s going to be this massive
star we sort of like dazzled by this kid
being 17 and being so good that we
didn’t actually look at the reality of
what was being handed to him and what
was being handed to him was a [ __ ]
difficult that he drastically failed he
was in Bellator he was in LFA for two
look at look at where this man has been
and what he’s done yeah but that but
you’re not a UFC Matchmaker and they
might have thought hey you know what
Christian Christian Rodriguez you know
he’s fought in his other promotions he
was also in the contender series it’s a
win-win situation if you ask me I think
that they’ve got a lot of belief in uh
in Christian Rodriguez especially now
looking at the fact that they gave him
Raul roses Jr if you’re a matchmaker’s
mind it could go either way you always
want a good scenario they did no
promotion for him no at all well that
might be true but now they’re giving him
Cameron Simon who again if you’ve just
beaten raurosis Jr and taken out a star
if they didn’t want that to happen
they’re not gonna be like let’s give him
another one of our up-and-coming stars
because he might take that guy out as
well but if he does that’s good I
wouldn’t I wouldn’t do that as a
Matchmaker unless I was actually had
some belief Rosas Jr was shoved down our
throats for the whole [ __ ] week but
then why would you put him up against
Cameron
they want him out there they want him
out there because they want Simon to
[ __ ] can knock him out like he knocks
everyone out it’s almost like they’re
punishing poor Rodriguez as well they’re
like right we’re gonna keep putting you
against these guys until you [ __ ]
lose because you ruined the races Junior
High I mean maybe maybe that’s one way
he crashed that party hard yeah or he
comes out of the side of it having
beaten two of the top prospects in that
division there are so many fights there
are so many matches that are made where
it’s so clear as they that the UFC want
a particular outcome not only Rose’s
Junior was was was supposed to be a loss
for him but this next fight is supposed
to be a loss for him as well but if he
can pull out the bag surely the UFC kind
of have to look at him now as something
that they should promote why were Bo
nickel and Rosa’s Junior put in the game
because they were meant to be the
[ __ ] the next guy the new Star it is
supposed to be this next big thing which
he still very May will be because the
UFC is where the best fighters are so I
don’t blame him for losing but that guy
was bought in to lose and now he’s
fighting another guy who he’s meant to
lose to he will only get respected once
he beats Cameron Simon speaking of of
guys are meant to be beaten is it biased
or is it personal preference to say
Kevin Holland is supposed to be the guy
that’s supposed to be beaten in this
matchup this is jdm’s opportunity to
progress up the rankings because he’s
exciting and clearly a fan favor not to
say Kevin isn’t but he’s already lost
he’s already lost and nobody cares that
means he’s unbeatable even when he does
lose
interesting he doesn’t lose any stock by
losing to JDM that’s in Kevin in the
position where like yeah he can’t lose
but also but again if you’re a
Matchmaker you you don’t always want to
put it’s kind of stupid to always put
your eggs in one basket but if Kevin
does win I don’t think this UFC will be
like oh we didn’t want that to happen
it’ll be like well holy [ __ ] Kevin
you’re moving up now like definitely
you’re gonna get like maybe a top five
guy or something because if they wanted
to give some jack someone that he could
be they wouldn’t have given him Kevin
Holland because Kevin Hart’s a tough
fight they’ve given given him a guy that
can lose but doesn’t lose any stock
that’s literally the best place to be as
a fighter it’s kind of like that Nate
Diaz effect isn’t it it’s just like you
can lose but you don’t really lose news
I mean Kevin Holland could be booked
with the top 10 again in his next fight
even if he does lose that’s it it’s a
it’s actually like even though they’re
kind of two fan favorites for different
reasons Jack’s at the point where he was
supposed to fight Sean Brady didn’t
seemingly struggled a little bit more
than we might have thought he would have
and then so now he’s come back down in
the rankings of who he’s fighting
because now he’s fighting the guy one
above him rather than you know halfway
up the board so it’s actually a way more
traditional step for Jack to take so
yeah I think in this one it kind of
feels if there was chips stacked in
someone’s corner it would be Jacks
rather than rather than Kevin’s I feel
like that’s the story line that we’ve
sort of uncovered so we have uh Chef
shenko versus Grassley coming up this
weekend and something great to do with
the fights to have a little drink
alongside and what’s better than the
official response of the UFC Heller head

In this article, I’ll be discussing the upcoming UFC Fight Night between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko. This fight has been building up with a lot of intensity, especially from Shevchenko. She has been more vocal and agitated than usual, expressing her desire to dominate and punish Grasso. This is a departure from her usual demeanor, as she has always let her actions speak for themselves. However, her recent loss of the championship and a tough fight against Tyler Santos may have fueled her frustration.

On the other hand, Grasso seems cool and composed. She has gone back to the lab and focused on what she did in their first fight to maintain her championship. It’s important to note that their first fight was not an easy one for the new champion. Shevchenko constantly took Grasso down, controlling the fight until Grasso defended a takedown in the third round and eventually secured a submission victory in the fourth round.

Despite the close fight, Shevchenko was still ahead on the judges’ scorecards. However, Grasso’s confidence has been boosted by her previous victory. She now knows that she can beat Shevchenko, and this belief will play a significant role in their upcoming rematch. Doubts may still linger for both fighters, but they are determined to prove themselves inside the Octagon.

This fight is taking place on Mexican Independence Day weekend, which adds even more significance for Grasso. It’s a huge honor for her to headline this weekend, usually reserved for legendary Mexican fighters like Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya. Grasso should take pride in her accomplishments and the fact that she defeated one of the greatest champions in UFC history.

what’s up guys look I’m back in Vegas
and guess where your boys at your boy’s
back at the Holiday yeah I’m back at the
pandemic Hotel because I just like I
like to be here it’s comfortable it’s
relaxing on the beat back and I’m here
for UFC Noche
Noche ufcs
it’s UFC Fight Night Lexa Grosso is
fighting against Valentina Chef Janko
guys this whole week in Bill to this
fight has been a little bit different
for valentina’s chefchenko she’s been a
little bit more agitated than would seem
she’s a little bit more
intense
she would seem to not only win the fight
but make a point in the fight right
she’s saying things like I’m gonna
dominate I want to take my belt and go
home it’s on me now to punish Alexa
Grosso to me
that feels a little bit out of character
for the bullet because far as intense as
Valentina can be she’s never been this
she’s never been vocal about it she’s
never been one to talk about what she’s
going to do to her opponent it’s always
been her actions I’ve kind of been what
balancing is known for
but maybe I am wrong for not expecting
this because of the way she lost her
championship and not only did she lose
her Championship we got to go back to
the Tyler Santos fight it’s not like she
dominated that fight as she had been
dominating on her title run
right so maybe maybe that’s why
she’s a little bit more frustrated in
regards to how the public use her and
how she feels going into this rematch
but as you guys know we do fighter
meetings and we talk to the fighters
before they get ready to go we do our
research and we learn about these
Fighters as they get prepared for their
competitions and guys
talking to both of them while
valentina’s upset
Alexa feels like she’s cool as the other
side of the pillow that’s off to the
great Steward Scott rest in peace she’s
not worked up at all
she went back to the lab and started to
do exactly what she felt like she did in
fight number one to maintain her
Championship but we can’t act like fight
number one
was an easy fight for the new Champion
it was a tough fight
and honestly I got some words from one
of the best fighters in the world in
regards to the fight and while he may
not be as articulate as some
he gets the point right
take a listen No I said talk to me talk
about chefchenko versus Grosso anytime
somebody makes uh dominant champion
fight it’s a fun fight last fight was
entertaining this fight’s gonna be
entertaining obviously a dominant
Champion has incredible skills and so
someone someone makes them but Alexa
grossos like when someone makes I was
trying to fight and we get to see his
you know true skills to fun [ __ ]
fighting
what happened last weekend
you guys asked him you’re so crazy dog
so Justin gaichi
may not articulate it to you right and
he did take a little bit of a stab at
Israel or something but
he
is telling the truth
when a dominant Champion gets pushed
when a dominant Champion fights someone
that matches their level and then
exceeds it it does make the best come
out of most of them
but we got to go back to fight one if we
want to give an honest assessment of
what happens Donald either took her down
constantly
she took Alexa Grosso down time and time
again it wasn’t until around three that
Alexis Russell actually defended one of
her takedowns she was getting taken down
over and over
and controlled as the fight went on
until we got to round three and then
around four she obviously got the
submission I thought Grosso had a lot of
success in the stand up but then when
you re-watch it Valentino was doing very
well and winning a lot of the exchanges
I thought I swear when I left that night
I felt like Valentino was wrestling
because she couldn’t strike with Alexa
Grosso but on second watch it was much
more competitive now do I believe that
Alexa wasn’t one of those striking
exchanges I do I do she had moments
and in those moments she was fighting
really really well but it was a very
close fight
in a fight where on all the judges
scorecards they had the champion
volunteers Chef tank was still ahead
but we saw Alexa counter that spinning
back kick jump on that rear naked choke
and completely strangle Valentina and
that gives you confidence
so for everything else it gives you
confidence Valentina now knows that
Alexa Grosso can beat her but so does
Alexa Grosso
because no matter what you say guys no
matter what you say when you watch
somebody dominate the way that Valentina
had dominated for so long there are
doubts
there are doubts
sure you’re confident sure you work hard
sure you believe
there are little doubts in there
where you wonder
am I going to be the one that can stop
this trade
I know I’ve worked hard I know I deserve
to win but am I going to be able to put
together 25 minutes to stop this train
and you don’t know it until you do it
and while Sean Strickland last weekend
pitched him masterpiece
there were doubts and he said it himself
he goes I didn’t know if I could do this
But as time went on in the fight he was
still there
started to believe and so did Alexa
Grosso she kept believing and believing
more and believing more and now she’s
the champion of the world and she does
not believe she’s going to lose this
belt guys I sat with him the other day
and I looked through my notes and I’m
telling you as I look at Alexa Grosso
here
it says I feel great
I have done everything I worked on the
areas that I needed to improve on and I
feel like I want to be better inside the
Octagon this weekend and for volunteer
chefchenko
it’s the same I must dominate
I must show that I’m still the best she

BULLET VALENTINA’S LEGACY IS ON THE LINE

BISPING: BULLET VALENTINA'S LEGACY IS ON THE LINE in GRASSO REMATCH

Summary:

In this article, we will be discussing the upcoming fights at the T-Mobile Arena for Mexican Independence Day UFC Noche. The main event will feature the Flyweight Champion, Valentina Shevchenko, defending her title against challenger Alexa Grasso. Additionally, we will analyze the co-main event between Kevin Holland and Jack de la Madalena, as well as the fight between 18-year-old Raul Rosas Jr. and Terence Mitchell. I will also provide my predictions for these fights.

Valentina Shevchenko vs. Alexa Grasso

Valentina Shevchenko is widely regarded as one of the greatest female fighters in the world. Her technique, precision, skill, accuracy, and fight IQ have made her a dominant force in the Flyweight division. However, there are questions about whether her best days are behind her. In her last fight against Alexa Grasso, Shevchenko was submitted with a face crank in round four. While she has had an impressive career with victories over top fighters like Jessica Eye, there is pressure on Shevchenko as a long-time champion. Grasso, on the other hand, had a strong performance in her last fight against Shevchenko and now believes she can beat the champion. This fight will be a test for both fighters, and the outcome is uncertain. However, I believe Grasso will come out on top, potentially winning by decision.

Kevin Holland vs. Jack de la Madalena

The co-main event features Kevin Holland, also known as “Big Mouth,” taking on Jack de la Madalena. Holland is known for his height, reach, and submission skills. In his last fight against Michael Kiese, he secured a submission victory in the first round. De la Madalena, on the other hand, has a well-rounded skill set and is currently on a 13-fight win streak. This fight will primarily take place on the feet, and I believe de la Madalena’s boxing skills and footwork will give him the advantage. While Holland is a talented fighter, I predict that de la Madalena will come out victorious.

Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Terence Mitchell

The fight between 18-year-old Raul Rosas Jr. and Terence Mitchell is an intriguing matchup. Rosas Jr. has shown great promise at such a young age, with a professional record of 7-1. However, in his last fight against Christian Rodriguez, he struggled with his wrestling and gas tank. Rosas Jr. will be looking to bounce back in this fight and showcase his wrestling skills. I believe he will be able to do so and come out with a victory over Mitchell.

In conclusion, the upcoming fights at the T-Mobile Arena for Mexican Independence Day UFC Noche promise to be exciting and full of action. Valentina Shevchenko will face a tough challenge in Alexa Grasso, while Kevin Holland and Jack de la Madalena will battle it out in the co-main event. Additionally, 18-year-old Raul Rosas Jr. will look to get back on track against Terence Mitchell. These fights have the potential to be highly competitive and entertaining. While the outcomes are uncertain, I have provided my predictions for each fight. Stay tuned for the action-packed night of fights on September 16th at the T-Mobile Arena.

I decided at the T-Mobile Arena what a
venue for a fight night and what a night
of fights we’ve got Mexican Independence
Day UFC Noche Alexa Grasso the Flyway
Champion taking on the Challenger
Valentina shevchenko there’s a sentence
I never thought I would have said a few
years ago call Main Event Kevin Holland
going up against Jack de la matolina and
then the 18 year old Raul Rosas Jr
taking on Terence Mitchell they’re the
three top fights and that’s what we’re
going to talk about right now and I’m
gonna give you some predictions so Main
Event Valentina shevchenko I mean this
woman is just incredible what a champ
she was and I’ll say she’s been the
power for pound greatest female fighter
on planet Earth over Amanda Nunez and
all Nunez beat us wise but she’s the
bigger woman she fought at 145. Chef
jenko’s 125 but when you look at the
technique the Precision the skill the
accuracy the mindset and the
intelligence the fight IQ borrowing the
last fight of Valentina have jenko it’s
unbelievable I mean she’s beaten some
tremendous people I’ll never forget the
knockout over Jessica I that was
absolutely sticking in and they go on
and on and on but the question is is the
best days of Valentina shevchenko kind
of behind her now the last time she
fought before Grasso was Singapore I
called the fight UFC 275 went up against
Tyler Santos very very close fight a lot
of people thought Tyler Santos won that
one but against Alexa Grasso last time
out UFC 285 again T-Mobile Arena you got
submitted with a face crank in round
four
but it’s what happened before that
that’s very very important because
chefchenko’s incredible she really is
but there’s a lot of pressure being a
long time Champion chefchenko I mean
she’s amazing she should be a spy a real
life spy an assassin or something like
that she’s the type of person what are
the only females even though Hollywood
likes to show you women that can beat up
men kick ass shoot guns and then jump in
a plane and fly off she’s one of the
only people that could do that for real
flying and a helicopter jump out covered
in Black beat the [ __ ] out of some
people Chum Chum Chum sniper some people
and then piss off in a helicopter that’s
how good she is but instead the Octagon
Is she starting to slip because Alexa
Grasso had a very very good night at the
office and of course in round four
chefchenko went for a spin Grasso jumps
on the back gets the rear Nicky chalk
and ended up submitting him with a face
crank and leaving chefchenko’s face
looking like she was sunburned because
from here to there she was all white and
above their man she was like a a tomato
ready to pop so it’s going to be a good
fight but the problem is here for
chefchenko is that Alexa Grasso now is
confident she knows that she belongs not
only that she knows she can beat
Valentina chefchenko when you’re going
up against someone like chefchenko a
long time Champion there’s an aura about
them just like with Anderson Silva just
like against Israel arasana that’s why I
watched Sean Strickland did was so
impressive right
but that always kind of gone the bubble
has been burst Alexa Grasso knows now
not only can she compete but she can
beat chef jenko at a wrong game the
boxing was on point the kicking’s on
point the wrestling was there she took
it down on occasion it was a really
really close fight and I think what cost
Chef jenko was that she was waiting to
counter far too much now for chefchenko
she is hungry to get that Bell back she
said nothing else matters to her right
now she said for me there is no after
there is no Sunday there is no Monday
following that Saturday for me I only
live with this day it’s kind of like I’m
not having plans on what’s going to be
next everything for me all of my
concentration all of my determination my
power force mentality character Spirit
it all goes to September 16th and of
course some might say that Valentina
chefchenko is done but she says the end
is when I decide and it’s not going to
be any time soon I’m gonna be fighting
while I feel like fighting I want to
fight and I want to win this battle
and I will win this belt I don’t know
about that one it’s going to be tough
Grasso called the famous Teddy Atlas
will be 30 better you know Champions get
30 better after winning the belt he
famously said which is quoted by a lot
of people but he’s right because the as
I said before when you become the
champion you’re like hold on a minute
everything I’ve been doing is correct I
am good enough I can compete it’s not a
fight dream I’m Legit I’ve got the belt
at home I am the champion of the world
so all the work that she’s doing down in
Mexico is is reinforced mentally and of
course she just won the belt and she
knows she’s got Chef chenko to fight for
us so she’s gonna push herself even more
because you notice if chenko’s gonna do
that as well that’s why this fight’s
going to be fantastic I’m a big fan of
Valentina chefchenko she’s been very
kind with the time and allow me to
interview her on several occasions but
the T-Mobile Arena Mexican independent
day sold out crowds sombreros all over
the place people down in Tequila
chanting going crazy that’s going to be
a hostile environment Alexia Grasso is
going to go out there and I think she
gets the job done but buy a decision by
a decision now a co-man event this is
the big one for me I’m really looking
forward to this one Kevin Holland aka
Big Mouth taking on the best boxer I
think potentially in all of the UFC Jack
De La Madeleine Okay Kevin Holland is
very tall very long and he’s got great
submissions okay last time out against
Michael kiese he’s shot in and with
those long arms was able to wrap up a
Dodge stroke in just round one really
good win before that knocked out
Santiago panzanibio again because of the
reach he was way out of range but it was
a long looping right hog that kind of
caught him and pugs and iby I probably
thought you can’t catch me here I’m too
far away but he’s got those go go gadget
arms clipped him satin down and that was
that knocked him out
on the flip side though he ain’t gonna
be shooting takedowns no he’s not he’s
going to be closing the distance as I
said Jack
has got good well-rounded skills of
course he does he’s a mixed martial arts
record of 15-2 lost his first two fights
he’s on a 13 fight win streak and he’s
been on fire ever since he made his
debut on the contender series got a
stunning win there and then after that
knockout knockout submission last time
Split Decision against basil heffers
never heard of him have you I hadn’t but
apparently he’s really good trains with
Anthony Smith and apparently he’s one of
those guys that on any day can be
anybody and Jack delamadolena still got
the job done by a split decision now in
despite Jack needs to take away the
reach of Kevin Holland Jack has got a 73
inch reach Kevin Holland a massive 81
inches so that’s eight inches and if you
know how to use that effectively if you
keep him at Bay if you keep them at
range you can cause a nightmare for your
opponent but Jack’s got that boxing he’s
got that footwork okay so counter shot
High guard head movement exploding get
inside the pocket inside the pocket I
think Jack’s got really really nice
boxing he’s got a big Advantage there
uppercuts Hogs he’ll rip to the body or
the rest of it don’t think we’re going
to see him going for takedowns and the
relevance of that is that if he doesn’t
go for a takedown there’s not really
going to be a potential for a submission
for Kevin Holland you know and then you
never know Jack might surprises but
that’s not his style and that’s not the
path to Victory Kevin Holland really
really good Jujitsu on the ground calls
himself a Kung Fu expert I don’t know
about that you know the Kung Fu talk you
know he does love Kung Fu he does he
does and he’s hilarious and he’s got
attack on drug as well he’s getting the
Mexicans on side he will be the favorite
with the crowd but he’s not the best
wrestler so I don’t think he’s gonna
take him down the traditional Manor he
might knock him down he might use a trip
from a clinch position but he ain’t
gonna be hitting double singles High
crotches all the rest of it
so what’s going to happen Jack delamada
versus Kevin Holden is going to play out
on the feet and it’s going to be very
very exciting to watch I’m leaning
towards Jack Della madalena I don’t
think he’s going to stop him I don’t
think Kevin Holland’s going to reach in
or nothing like that the man can take a
shot okay but John De La Madeleine has
got better boxing I think he closes the
distance he gets the job done before
that Raul Rosas Jr 18 years old I mean
that is just insane 18 years old the
man’s got a professional record so far
of seven and one again came through the
content of the series got a good win
over Jay Perrin opened the pay-per-view
at UFC
282 and then came back against Christian
Rodriguez and lost by a decision the
reason he lost is that he didn’t have
his way he wasn’t able to use the
wrestling that he has Christian
Rodriguez was able to counter everything
he was able to get top position quite a
lot and the gas tank looked to affect
Raul rozas as well and Ral Rosas will be
going up against Terence Mitchell it’s
going to be a great fight the Mexican
are going to go crazy crazy for railroad
student and rightly sold stand up give
that man a round of applause 18 years
old he’s got his [ __ ] together he’s a
very very good wrestler and think about
how mentally strong you have to be to
walk out to the T-Mobile arena in the
toughest spot on planet Earth right in
front of 20 000 people at 18 years old
God bless that man’s gonna be a great
fight I think Ral Ross is Junior uses
the wrestling gets the job done and
there it is UFC no chair okay Grasso
still the champ Kevin Holland Jack great
fight Jack wins it Raul Ross as Junior
gets back to winning ways and that’s
about it that’s all I’ve got time for
subscribe ring the bell and I’ll see you
soon

KHAMZAT CHIMAEV getting SEAN STRICKLAND fight next

BISPING sees KHAMZAT CHIMAEV getting SEAN STRICKLAND fight next

Summary:

In this article, we will discuss the upcoming fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Paulo Costa at UFC 294. This highly anticipated matchup is set to take place in Abu Dhabi and has the potential to determine the next challenger for the middleweight championship currently held by Sean Strickland. While there are other contenders in the division, such as Drakkar Klose and Israel Adesanya, the outcome of this fight could solidify Chimaev’s position as the top contender.

It’s worth noting that there has been some speculation about a potential rematch between Adesanya and Strickland. Initially, Dana White mentioned the possibility of a rematch, but he also acknowledged that there are other options to consider. This opens the door for other challengers to make their case for a title shot.

One such contender is Khamzat Chimaev, who has quickly become a massive star in the UFC with a dedicated following. If he is able to defeat Paulo Costa, it would put him in a strong position to challenge for the middleweight championship. However, there are other contenders in the division who also have a case for a title shot.

Drakkar Klose is currently the number one contender and rightfully deserves a shot at the title. Israel Adesanya is another possibility, although it may be wise for him to take a break and rest after a busy schedule. Jared Cannonier, who defeated Costa in a split decision, is also vying for the next opportunity.

In terms of the upcoming fight between Chimaev and Costa, it is expected to be a sensational matchup. Chimaev is undefeated with a record of 12-0 and has shown incredible skills both in striking and wrestling. His only challenge so far has come from Gilbert Burns. Chimaev’s move up to middleweight has been official, and he is determined to make a statement in the division.

On the other hand, Costa is a formidable opponent with a great career and notable wins. He recently defeated Luke Rockhold and has proven his ability to take a beating and keep coming forward. Costa’s anti-wrestling skills could pose a challenge for Chimaev, who is known for his wrestling prowess.

The outcome of this fight will likely determine the next challenger for the middleweight championship. If Chimaev emerges victorious, he will solidify his position as a top contender. However, it’s important to note that there are other contenders in the division who also have strong cases for a title shot.

In conclusion, the fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Paulo Costa at UFC 294 is highly anticipated and has the potential to determine the next challenger for the middleweight championship. While Chimaev is a rising star with a dedicated following, Costa is a formidable opponent with notable wins. The outcome of this fight will have significant implications for the middleweight division and could shape the future of the title picture.

returns against Paolo Costa in the next
pay-per-view UFC 294 going down in Abu
Dhabi as I said going up against Power
lawcaster and this fight is going to be
ridiculous also the winner of this fight
if it sounds like you may have might
just be the next guy to challenge Sean
Strickland for the middleweight
championship and the reason I say that
is because we don’t know what’s going to
happen sure initially after the fight
Dynamite did say that Israel had a son
you will get the rematch because it
makes sense no I think you do the
rematch absolutely I mean the rematch is
is interesting that could be the thing
too you know when you think about you’re
going into the Pereira fight such a big
fight you know and you’ve been in there
with this guy so many times and then you
overlook strictly but then the Dana
White Tuesday night Contender series
after that he said look listen I didn’t
say 100 it’s going to happen he said
there is other options I said it makes
sense and that that kind of opens the
door for other challenges I think if you
remember that night people said well
what do you think you think it’s rematch
I said yeah the rematch sounds great and
I’ve never did I say I saw the stupid
that was written you know by all
these stupid websites
um you know never once did I say yes
we’re gonna do this rematch I said no
the rematch now you know we’ll see what
happens there’s obviously lots of
options out there and we’ll see what
happens but yes I’m still not opposed to
an Israel rematch okay and Hamza chimeev
is a massive star with this huge
following and then Abu Dhabi against
Paolo Costa it’s going to be a
sensational fight I’m telling you that
right now and if he wins I think he will
put himself next in line for the shot
now of course also we have dracus
duplessy who is the number one Contender
rightfully he should get the next shot
Israel arasania is another possibility
although I think he should take a little
bit of a break take some time off he’s
at a crazy schedule and also there’s
Jared Cannon here and Sean Strickland’s
coach he he wants the next person to be
Jared canineer who says look listen UFC
obviously whatever they’re going to do
they’re going to do but I said Jared
Cannon here for a number of reasons
number one he did beaters he did now of
course it was a split decision but on
that record we got beat and I think
there were things that we didn’t do
correctly in that fight that caused us
to lose and I called coach John Crouch
this week and I said man I was so
impressed with Jared the professionalism
at UFC 293 fight week all week long they
came prepared they came with an
opportunity in mind it’s not easy to
travel to the other side of the world if
you’re not going to be able to fight
you’re there as an alternate but you
have to stay ready I feel what Jared
canonier has done his body of work and
what he’s shown in his last few fights I
think he’s the fight you have to at
least consider him as your number one
don’t take this the wrong way if you
hear this Mr Eric Nixon it seems like
they’re trying to pick him because I
don’t know it was a split decision a lot
of people thought that Sean Strickland
won that fight right and Hamza Jimmy
have is an absolute monster drinkers
duplessy is an absolute monster and you
never know right that might be the
easiest part and that sounds important
to Jared Cannon here I’m not being
insulting what I’m saying is they know
they had a really close fight but anyway
that’s an if but what if maybes all over
the place we’re not here to talk about
that we’re here to talk about Hamza
Jimmy have versus Power Lord Costa Hamza
Jimmy have undefeated the only person to
give him any kind of a challenge was
Gilbert Burns okay undefeated 12 and all
coming up to middleweight officially
okay for the for the duration he ain’t
going back down of course he did fight
before middleweight he knocked out
Gerald mirror chart with the first punch
that he threw in 17 seconds and against
parallel Costa let’s just say these two
don’t like each other foreign
cost has been doing the same thing and I
can’t wait for this now when you look at
Costa on the other side listen the man’s
incredible he’s had a great career he’s
had some incredible wins last time out
beat my old mate you’re just an average
block you’re just an average bloke good
use of English Samurai I’m gonna come in
there
Luke rockhold before that was a two
fight losing streak Marvin Victoria came
in way overweight Israel a lot of sun
you got stopped in that fight in the
second round kind of got embarrassed but
this is the key performance for Paolo
Costa when you look in the at the fight
with Jimmy have
he beat yellow Romero Hamza Jimmy is an
incredible wrestler and sure the man can
bang the man’s got power in the hands
and we see him over the last few weeks
hitting the bags and he looks crazy in
shape and he looks ridiculously fast
okay but in terms of wrestling accolades
hamzatz accolades versus Joel Romeros
Joel Romero was an Olympic medalist
Hamza jimmyv was the Swedish national
champion
I’m sure the swedes can wrestle their
asses stuff but they’re not getting
medals at the Olympics to my knowledge
anyway so when you look at that I think
Costa has the anti-restling to stop the
wrestling offense of Hamza Jimmy what
happens then well it plays out on the
feet and parallel Costa that man can
take a beating
when he fought Marvin Victoria someone
hits them they hit each other when it
was insane it was sick and it sounded
like baseball about smacking each other
in the face it was shaking it but Costa
just kept coming forward over five
rounds always in shape the man can take
a shot he can stop takedowns this is a
very difficult fight for Hamza chimer
now as I say whoever wins this demand
gets face Sean Strickland then Sean
Strickland he knows Hamza Jimmy have
very well he’s been in the same gym as
Eric Nixon and Sean Strickland there’s a
video out there Sean goes up to him he’s
like hey hey look listen Hamza be nice
you’re better than everybody
okay which is very humble of Sean to say
really was really was and he’s just
playing along a little bit but Hamza
he’s only got one speed you know what I
mean so I’m in preparation for this one
power cost is doing everything he can
because he knows he’s got a very very
tough test and he’s been out in Dubai
for quite some time already and he’s
training at the gym of
yes the goat for a lot of people I say
Jon Jones but he’s the goat for a lot of
people and regarding Palo Acosta
training get khabib Jim here is what she
may have had to say he said khabib Jim
mashallah my Muslim brother help
everybody ask him to help you maybe he
will help you but I’m still gonna smash
you palovich I don’t know why he calls
him palovich but if we look at the fight
it is going to be incredible and in the
main event is a sensational fight it’s a
rematch between Charles Oliveira going
up against Islam if you remember right
the last time Islam went out there and
went straight through uh Charles
Oliveira got the submission in the
second round but
bites Jimmy have Jimmy EV is very very
aggressive and he’s got incredible
wrestling clearly very strong composed
the man’s a killer and he’s a proper bad
guy I mean remember when he missed
weight against Kevin Holland he’s
already man he just flipped the bird to
everyone did not give a but look at
some of the performances that he has I
mean the time when he fought Lee Jing
Liang picked him up hoisted him up high
had a conversation with Danny White
before he slammed him down and then
choked him out so he’s very strong he’s
got incredible wrestling the hands are
very very good but how is the gas tank
because against Gilbert Burns by far his
toughest fire to date and who knows if
that was a five round fight you never
know maybe Gilbert Birds would have got
it done because hamzat was exhausted
okay Paolo Costo as I said before when
he thought Marvin Victoria that was five
rounds he came in way overweight there
to move the fight from 185 to 205 so
clearly he wasn’t doing everything he
should have done he wasn’t as
disciplined as what he could have been
but he still went five rounds no problem
and against Luke rockhold he went out
there he looked really really good Rocco
came back later in the fight Paula
Acosta is tried tested proven and hungry
okay Paulo Costa is the name that some
people forget about as one of the top
dogs because he hasn’t had the strongest
strength of schedule for Once in 2022
against rockhold once in 21 once in 20
once in 19 once in 18 three times in 17.
but what’s he playing at that is a
ridiculously slow schedule and if you
want to insert yourself as one of the
contenders and you want to get a shot at
the belt you need to show that as a
champion you’re going to be an active
champion and that’s one of the biggest
credits to Israel that assigned and
that’s also why I say at the top of the
video that Israel alasana should take
some rest and come back the best version
of himself because let’s be honest if
Israel and lasagna comes back too soon
gets beaten off Sean Strickland again
which there’s a very very good chance
that he will because that fight wasn’t
even close hey that’s three out of the
last four for Israel out of Sonya and I
think that you know championship fights
may start to become a thing of the past
and it will affect his confidence more
importantly but back to the man hands
that Jimmy have this guy pulls no
punches and in talking of Paolo Costa
he’s threatening to kill him
you did my
just be sure come up to the cage
beat you up send you back in the package
to Brazil but still in Brazil they don’t
want you
no countries recognize you
now you’re coming to my country
Muslims Brothers they’re coming for you
Allah so the reality is people love
Hamza chime whether it’s because he’s a
good guy a bad guy persona the heel
whatever it is because he’s
controversial who cares more importantly
they like the action inside the Octagon
the man is a badass from start to finish
he shows up and he’s decimated almost
everybody that is faced and Paulo cost
is a bad mother rapper as well so this
is going to be a sensational fight so
wrestling I give it to Hamza Jimmy have
takedown defense parlor costume can
probably stop that on the feet
I think probably power law Acosta in
terms of Jiu Jitsu I don’t know I’ve
never rolled with either of them but
they’re both competent on the ground but
in terms of momentum in terms of Badness
in terms of motivation in terms of
having the support in Abu Dhabi we gotta
go with hamzat chimmy EB all day long
it’s been a long time since Hamza
chimney I thought last time was against
Kevin Holland once again went out there
two minutes 13 submitted him with a
Dodge job but that was last September a
year ago again same as Costa strength of
schedule if Hamza can get this done okay
and he can get authorization to travel
wherever he wants in the world what do
you think if Hamza does it if hamzat
wins is he fighting for the belt next
because I’ll tell you what drink is
dupless you won’t like it Robert
Whittaker while Izzy won’t like it Jared
canonier won’t like it and Sean
Strickland he might not might not like
it either but the reality is if Hamza
Jimmy have goals out there and can do
what he does to everybody else against
Paolo Costa man there is your next
contender for the middleweight Taxi
