Thompson is gonna talk his ass off about UFC 298 and what just went down because we have a new featherweight Champion it just always happens to the old guy in the lighter weight classes I just don’t know what to say but it happens every time Josh Dave sent over

This uh image and it was like what what was the one that you came up with it was when Conor McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo it was like the same time the same amount of title defenses the same whatever it was they were almost ident virtually identical as our boy no

Because see that’s [ __ ] because Conor McGregor been beat twice tapa has not lost okay but no no we’re just talking about in terms of when Jose Aldo finally I think 27 to 35 he can you pull that one up for us buddy you you posted you had something put something in the

News yeah it was basically like it was the same almost the same amount of title defenses and Connor having and then it was it was something that David sent over but anyways look same number fights maybe this was as far as in the UFC yeah before before we even get started on to

Okay this day and age no no no no um car is like too close to me I care about you I care anyways anyways John uh what do you think of the card let’s let’s talk let’s talk the overall pitchure first what do you think of the

Card you know overall I it actually was a good card you know you got to be honest about things and you look at it the preliminaries there were some good fights in there uh I I really enjoyed the uh start of the fight with uh Anthony I mean dude fluffy is

He’s just a tough son of a [ __ ] and that’s a big win against coof and overall I thought the the the last two and that’s what you’re looking at all the time the Whitaker Costa fight we’re gonna go over it it was [ __ ] fireworks best F of night it was great

Best F great fight and TOA against you know vinoski you got a new Champion what can you say and it was not like it was a dull championship fight no it wasn’t no it was it was like a little bit of just uh a chess match early just kind of

Filling each other out and that type of situation you know but I mean look look what was your overall if you were to score at one to 10 for the card the main card let’s just talk the main card main card main card I I’ll give it an eight I

There was a couple I was going to give it there a couple there was a couple fights in there that I was a little I mean I understand it but you’ve got to you have to adjust and there was no adjustment in the fight that’s why the fight maintained where it

Was at yeah I would give it an a also like it had the name value it had it had all the the fights that we would have liked to have seen just be knocked down drag out but it almost seemed like there was a little bit too much emotions

Involved to where the fighters they they cared too much whether they won or loss now look we understand that you always care whether you win or lose we get it there you go but then you let that get in the way of of fighting and uh and we saw that a little bit

Tonight and uh but look the the the main event you understand what’s on the line you understand what you’re going to get from volkanovski you understand what you’re GNA get from Toria and uh and then with Whitaker and Costa I mean I was a little concerned that it was going

To end up being like Costa kind of chasing Whitaker around and the thing that made that fight was Whitaker came out and took the fight to Costa you know and so that’s what made that’s what kind of made that fight for me and then as

You go down to the Ian Gary that’s kind of the fight with uh uh um Jeff Neil that fight is the one that we like people online because I was I was kind of doing a little Twitter thing and people online were just pulling their

Hair out going what is going on you know is what happened when you allow someone you follow yeah when you’re when you’re following someone that wants to move like Ian Gary’s moving and he has the length on you and you’ve got to come inside you got to make that when you make those

Approaches you you’re step steing Into the Danger Zone okay and you’re taking a chance and anytime you know you’re in that area you’re taking a chance getting into that but once you’ve reached it that’s your that’s your space you can’t just give it up and and I mean give it

Up by closing it further and getting into a grappling situation where you’re not really the guy that’s going to outg Grapple him it’s like in tight in you know fighting in a foam book that is meant for Jeff Neil but he didn’t do it he he he went from

That distance to clinch and he just took away his ability to win the fight yeah but uh we’re gonna go ahead and go right back to the main event and we’re going to talk about this main event but those are the top three fights on that card

There but then obviously we’re going to get into a little bit of the rest of the we’ll get into the rest of the card but let’s go right into the main event you want me to start or do you want to start what what did I text you was that before

After I saw The Knockout no no at the start of the fight at the start of the fight what did I text h i don’t know what was it we were texting back and for what was it I said t is gonna win this

Oh yeah I mean yeah so no I didn’t I didn’t I didn’t no I mean I got I look I gotta stick by what I said the other day and oh no no yeah and and for me for me what I said was we didn’t know we didn’t know

Which vulcanos we were going to get the one that was riding just the confidence all the way to the top when he was beating Max holway and just that level of you kind of what we saw flashes of again in the yayer fight after his lost

Yeah Yer Korean zombie and that made me go back to just him being confident enough to look I can bounce back after a loss to Islam now a head KCK knockout loss is a lot different than a decision lost to someone like that you still almost feel like you won the fight

Because there was a lot of I wouldn’t say controversy but there’s a lot of people talking that they thought he won he looked good in the fifth round of that fight he did was the he looked fantastic but I want to say this is I’m

Not there look I want to start off by saying I’m gonna get into Toria uh after but I want to talk about vul first go what what I’m saying is when I saw what vulcanos was doing coming out of the fight coming into the first round stick

And move kind of fill him out see exactly what he had to in powerwise kind of throw in the kicks figuring out the range I was like okay looks good and then it’s funny you you were texting too saying like he’s backing up with his

Chin in the air Joe had brought it up a couple times and I was like I don’t ever really recall him doing that you know maybe I missed it maybe it wasn’t but I always felt like he was more of the hammer and less of the nail and didn’t

Really let guys push him around like that now I also looked at it too in my mind I never I thought I’m like who is he fought that is a very very similar in size short and sture and it wasn’t until you and I got on here before we started

Filming and we were talking like has he ever fought somebody really his height and size and and you were like yeah Chad Mendes and I go yeah I go I look at it that way but then you look at where Chad was in his career in comparison to where

Tor is right now in his career Chad you could tell was like look I want to put it all out there but if I lose this fight I’m pretty much retiring you know what I mean like there’s different different parts of your career your different mental in parts of your career

That you’re you’re when you’re you’re fighting that person and that’s kind of what we saw tonight I didn’t want to root against him because I still believe that he was he was GNA come out and shine getting back to his natural weight class getting back to where he has been the champion

For so many year Well couple years now like he’s just done everything right I thought he’d bounce back I thought he’d be able to get in the clinch kind of rag Dom a little bit show how strong he is show the success that he had against

Someone likey is I’m like look I was looking for something like that yeah and I I I guess what I’m trying to get out is that when you say that Knockouts don’t make a difference they do they do they absolutely do because what I saw tonight was a more and in the first

Round I was leaving it up to being it was a fill out process but in the second round it was very much the same in the beginning a little bit of that it was like he went back to Chin in the air I don’t want to say afraid of getting hit

But he wasn’t the same guy who just against Islam sat down on some punches and like was kind of instigating like let’s throw let’s get after it let’s wing it that wasn’t him you know this one was like he knew that the punching power was there but he also knew that it

Was a little bit harder to get in to you know get in get in on land offense uh land his his offensive shots whether it was kicking whether it was just striking that’s where I lie right now with volkanovski is that he’s already talking about a rematch in Spain and I’m in my

Mind going take some time off and I know you’re the guy when you sit home you stir crazy and you got to take your time off let yourself recover and I think that this had an effect that head kick knockout is gonna and not to take anything away from Toria I’m definitely

Not doing that I’m not I’m not I’m gonna get into Toria here in a second I’m gonna just praise him with all different types of ways okay but right now I looked at this and I said to myself the head kick knockout had an effect that’s

One two is it made volkanovski fight a little bit differently but then again I’ll tell you why I think Toria made volkanovski fight differently as well um yeah but then I think right now too is it I’m not saying he can’t make another run to come back I think that he just

Needs to take some time off reshape reform himself and I think you’re going to see him run back I don’t know if he’ll ever be Champion again but this does open up this whole featherweight division again because now you got Max sitting there going but now he’s going

To fight at 155 and the same [ __ ] could potentially happen to him maybe not with a kick but the same [ __ ] could happen to him yeah I look at it this way you know on the last podcast we both just I I can’t go you know and I had not

Gone against vinoski for a while it was because look he’s he’s been that good and then as I’m you know I went and I started watching a couple more T Pera fights and I go God damn he is so technically good good and he’s so tight and he doesn’t overextend he doesn’t get

Flustered because I had someone that said you know go you know I I said he hasn’t really been put in that position where he’s been the Nail Someone said go watch the ji Herbert fight so I did right and it’s a huge Knockout by T Pera but I understand what the person was

Saying is he was getting tagged by Herbert in that but again he stays so composed he sticks with what he wants to do and that’s exactly what he did in this fight tonight is he went out there he imposed that I’m G to make you move

I’m GNA come forward I’m not going to be the one backing up and yeah you I’ll take your little shots here and there and I’ll wait for my time to throw mine and I think mine are gonna have more effect than yours and he was right yeah

That’s what he did CU he was he did throw you know a couple kicks in there and he always had and you know he had the kick that like spun banovski around and stuff and then those are nice but he’s boxing Centric he is about using his hands and when he

Uses his hands Josh everything is it’s it’s exactly what we talk about the punch goes out and it’s coming back on the same rail you watch what he’s doing and it’s tight everything is nothing gets wide nothing goes out of place you know can he miss yeah he can miss

Because there’s movement but take a look at his head movement during the fight take a look at his footwork during the fight I was you know just going back before and watching him I was like he’s gonna win the fight you know it’s just I

Just look at it and I go there’s too many ways for this to go bad for volkanovski against a guy that does not make a lot of mistakes and that’s why he’s unbeaten he doesn’t make mistakes Stakes he sits there he knows what he is he knows where he’s good and he makes

You fight his fight no that’s what a good fighter does yeah when you watch him and this is this is what I was talking about when to give him all the credit he deserves like you said there’s no wasted movement that’s one two is there’s a little bit of a

Shoulder shrug to the right and to the left as he starts to rock so you don’t know whether the punches coming with the Jab you don’t know if he’s coming with a left hook you don’t know and when he rocks back is he coming with an overhand

Right or is he coming with a straight right uh is he gonna throw a kick off of that I I just he there’s like there’s no wasted movement but he also gives little tiny faints to make you think he’s gonna go and they’re not OV exaggerated sometimes what you’ll see is

Fighters will OV exaggerate things to get you to react and then go well he doesn’t over exaggerate he does he does it in fluid motion and then on top of that what I love is that he keeps his hands so dedicated to his face if you’re the person he’s

Fighting you start looking for spots to get in there and it’s you realize that look if I focus too much on that spot I’m gonna get countered with something because he is so controlled he he stays so disciplined with his defense okay drop the elbow a little bit here but

Don’t drop this arm he stays very tight with everything when I saw him for a split second he was actually kind of tense in the first round had his hands clenched but then as the round started to go on you could tell he kind of like

Just released his hands and he kind of opened him up a little bit and then you saw him get into a rhythm but he came out very tense you know and tight and yeah and then he started kind of you know and then sure he was getting hit

With the jab I mean vul’s not slow just because he’s getting a little bit older in age he’s not slow um it just it was it was his night he started seeing what vul was doing he started seeing how was leaning back and you know what it kind

Of reminded me of it kind of reminded me a little bit of the Dan Henderson fight against Bisby is that he just kept seeing bisbing tea off T off T off and then every time he went forward he circled away with his head up and and if

You go back I think after the first round of that fight with Dan Henderson Dan goes I’m gonna knock him the [ __ ] out I’m Gonna Knock he hits like a [ __ ] if you saying that between rounds and then finally you know he just able to

Catch him it’s just it’s all a matter of time and sometimes the clock is against you because you are it’s only a three- round fight or it’s only you know whatever it is in the in that other fight this was five rounds I know but the other fight is the clocks against

You in a three round fight because someone can stick and move for three rounds it’s not till they start to get tired but in this fight here with vul just it wasn’t his night you know he was dipping back with his head he was going

Straight back had he as soon as his foot hit the fence he should have circled out he didn’t do that like that’s Comm those are those are things that the fighter they do and he’s been doing it forever it was just it was how many times have

We always said look if you take more than two steps going backwards without that you know movement to one side or the other you’re making a huge mistake yeah and he was making that mistake yeah and it just this is what happens and I I agree with

You the MF fight look the how he didn’t train forward or anything like that he took it last minute but The Knockout had an effect this is his and this look he got knocked out in this one he was unconscious and uh that’s two in a row

He needs to truly take some time off and he’s already wanting to do you know a rematch and stuff and you’re going brother this is not the time to rush things this is a time to take a vacation relax do nothing don’t think about anything and let yourself

Heal if he does you know you know can he come back and beat Toria I don’t think so but I mean just age and everything tells you that you know there’s a there’s a reason for odds and you know it’ll show you that a a former Champion

Trying to come back and win against the guy that beat him that’s younger happens very rar yeah and there’s reasons for it and TOA is that guy that you know he’s that new breed of of guy that look he can go anywhere and he he goes anywhere with

Guys that are you know really good you know he’s on the ground with Ryan Hall doesn’t matter you know didn’t do that a lot but knocks him out you know you know he can put on sub missions he’s been doing jiujitsu since he was four years

Of age he can you know wrestle he can box he’s he’s gonna be there it’s always you know that drive to get to that title just like he had now how do you keep it how do you keep not just the title how do you keep the focus and the

Fire that’s going to be the question uh how does choria do it or how does vul do it no how does Toria do it tor’s got he’s got the whole SLE of guys in front of him that’ll keep him motivated I really believe it he’s already calling out Conor

McGregor yeah I mean look well I I like that he’s he’s trying to aim for the top you know and Conor and but I mean like look I guess the only good I guess the only good takeaway I guess for me when I look at when I see a champion like a

Vinoski who’s very lovable I mean we talked about you know his video that he did about the old man come on that’s crazy people are in the audience with the same thought it was great man like how do you not love the guy he’s absolutely amazing Inside the Cage

Outside the cage I mean you’ve got you’ve got professional athletes to come watch him you got other guys that just they want to come see him fight because he is such a nice guy you know what I mean uh tore has got plenty of guys that

Are lined up right now that are able to to fight him I know Max is going to be busy with Justin gatei but I would like to have seen that fight happened first thing yeah I mean if Max is to beat Justin gatei and I does I mean you put

The weight took the time to get there to 55 it’s bad you know I don’t know John we sat then you deplete yourself to go back to 45 yeah that’s that’s very true and did you see the two of them did you see the two of them face off gaian and

Max Max looks bigger than him Max looks bigger than him Max is big he’s a big guy he is look all I all I can remember about you know when I being there with Max is first off Max is such a nice human being you know but the night that he beat Jose

Aldo you know to win the title he was 178 pounds that night after weighing in at 1:45 and I was like how did you put that much weight back on and how are you gonna compete putting that much weight you know no problem for him so

John somebody asked me the other day I said hey you know would you compete at 55 if you fought again I was like there’s just no way these guys are enormous I’d have to compete at 45 I’d have to like these guys are so big it’s ridiculous I mean like you think like

Banovski weighed 178 when he fought Islam Islam weighed 178 when they fought you know and then you you just told me the story about Max I mean these guys are they’re big man these guys are making the weight I get it there’s a little there’s a lot of diet nutrition

That gets them down closer as the the fight weeks happen but you know they put it back on they’re used to training it that normal weight of say walk around 170 excuse me 178 um look where does Toria go from here if Max loses to Justin gagei I

Don’t think that he fights Max next you know then who Okay Dave can you pull up the rankings please for the 145 pound and then if I if I look at Toria and who I think if you’re if you’re Toria I’m gonna be smart about things I’m gonna be

Honest I’m going to try to pick you know fights that I think are uh people would want to see and the first first one I would say that I would uh I would try to pull in is I want to pull in an ex Champion Alaine Sterling is moving up to

145 boom I’ll take Alim that’s a Taylor Made fight for him exactly that’s why yeah but he’s a former champion and uh you look and you go hey that’s you know I want to start picking people off let let me do it with a former Champion so then I get a win

There then I can go and say okay you you know now I can start picking them off because it’s really going to depend on between yir and Brian Ortega you know fighting in Mexico who wins you know because that’s really gonna be the one that’s gonna probably be your your next

One yeah but you have elev and then you’ve got yeah I mean that’s what you got right now I mean that’s kind of the division right now I mean realistically to be honest it was it was Max and vul for a long time you had Brian that’s

Kind of lingering in there as well and then Tor made his way up yayer has always been lingering in there as well but he just hasn’t been a very active Fighter um you know and yeah it’s it’s crazy that Tor was able to make his run

Up in the middle of all that you know what I mean and just he stayed active he stayed busy a lot of these guys they they haven’t been as active or as busy I haven’t seen some of these guys fighting a while you know some of them haven’t yeah crazy

But I look I look at this look I would love to I would have loved to have seen his first title defense be against Max hallway because it just puts a whole new shakeup in the game or Max comes in if Max is able to beat him you know then do

You have the aomag rematch or do you have you know do you have the evev or whatever and then just there’s so many other different ways to work that fight in work those fights in know now that you know vul has actually lost his title

Yeah and I’m going to go back to the Usman um the Kamar Usman situation da or Dave Dave John by the way guys it’s one in the morning um two for yeah I I just I went against Camaro so many times I’m like no this guy he’s got the style

To beat him he’s got the style to beat him you know and then so then I finally jump on the bandwagon right and then it’s like then he loses like a fight or two later then I’m like okay look I can’t go against vul I can’t go against

Vul you know you know I was kind of always thinking that Max was going to get him Max’s going to get him then I start watching him fight against guys like the Bri Orga fight is the one that really got me going oh okay look I saw

What you did to Max multiple times and then I see what you’re doing to to Brian and I’m like man there’s no quitting you you’re G to be a hard son of a gun to beat you know she got nothing but respect for him then I saw what he did

With Islam I’m like geez man this kid is good but he’s not a kid anymore like he’s had his run he’s had his time at the top and where he’s been he’s done it for so long he’s fought everybody he’s pretty much wiped out that Division I mean it’s it’s toria’s time

To be honest you gotta you gotta Pat him on the back and go hey man great job let’s see what you can do let’s see what you do let’s see what you can do you’re undefeated but I’m gonna I mean I’m going to look at this I mean do do we

Start judging him then based on some of the fights if he doesn’t have as great a performance against somebody like a Max Holloway Yer Rodriguez who he’s finished or a Brian or Orga who he just dominated except for the third round you know do

We do we go through that like do we do we start judging Toria based on the guys that he’s gonna have to fight that vul’s already kind of dismantled and say like yeah but vul did this to them in his prime are you gonna do it to you in your

Prime no it’s because you know you’re basically going through MMA math there it doesn’t matter how someone you know oh he beat him better than this guy beat him you know that who cares matter it’s no did he get the win you know sometimes

So it all comes down to this and I try to tell people this all the time and you understand it because you’ve been there fighting is one of the hardest things to do in the fact that it’s not like any other sport as far as oh you

Lose the football game this week you got another one next week you got you lose the baseball game today it’s a double header so we’re going to play another one just right after when you lose a fight it lingers with you because you don’t have another

Fight for a long time and everything is about that last fight and everything is about getting on you know off of the schneide and getting back on the winning streak and you know doing what you can but you’ve got to live with that loss for a while and it’s not an easy thing

To do it’s tough for a lot of people a lot of people hold on to it’s so important okay it’s important as far as your career and everything but in the big picture of life you know like I said if you have a 10-year career you’re

Doing good if you have a 20-y year career like some people it’s amazing you know vanderly Silva you know they’re putting him in the UFC Hall of Fame you know and you look and you go I can remember when vanderlay first fought in the International Valley tudo championships that were in Brazil you

Know Sergio what was his name batarelli was the promoter of him and stuff and you know I can remember vanderlay back then he went 20 some years fighting you know crazy crazy you went 20 years fighting crazy it’s crazy you know but that I can still put sentences together

So that’s good we’ll talk about that but I mean it’s it it’s one of those things where you look and you go you you got to be able to take the good and the bad and just brush it off let it you know throw it to the side and

Understand you know if if you are you know Alexander volkanovski at this time you know you’re going to do what you’re going to do but you do need to take time off and and give yourself a chance to recover because the worst part about the brain it doesn’t hurt yeah you don’t

Feel it he didn’t feel getting knocked out he didn’t remember it and it’s not like having you know you break your arm they put a cast on your arm so you can’t use it for the next six weeks they can’t cast your brain okay but you need to treat it in

The same fashion that you you don’t really use it you don’t abuse it and you give it time to heal I hope he does that because you know his brain is damaged just like it’s a broken arm or a broken leg it’s it’s damaged you know so yeah I mean I’ve I’ve talked

About you know I I’ve talked about my own sparring situations and how things went downhill I sparred with uh this kid that they called Mahone I can’t remember was like mean spaghetti in Brazilian or Portuguese or something anyways like he threw a spinning wheel kick and just you

Got beat by a noodle I bu a noodle and um you know and that sat me down in my ass you know you know sat me hard and then a couple and then I was like oh no I’ll be all right I finished the rest of

The round and then you know sparred and then I sparred again you know a couple weeks later with Eric Pico he hit me with a nice shot sat me right to my butt and just to have that happen to me twice within like a couple weeks two weeks of

Each other I just realized that it was it was like you need to give remember you pulled out of a fight because of that though that you pulled out of the fight yeah I pulled out of the Michael Chandler fight because of that yep yep I just knew because my whole career been

Hit by guys like like a Josh kosek and a John Fitch and you know even some I even spared with heavyweights at the time with Paul bonello and Mike Kyle and I just I was like oh I could take the rockold and I sparred quite a bit Trevor

Pranklin I Brony these guys could crack and never had I been sat down and so just the reality was like hey you’re getting older you’re 37 years old you know it’s like this is 38 actually 38 37 38 at the time that’s you have to put

You have to wrap your head around the fact that you’re not not what you used to be and that was hard it’s hard it’s a hard pill to swallow it’s a [ __ ] it is and you you don’t realize Josh think about it let me ask you a question right now being

Honest how what age do you picture yourself at um since I quit drinking probably like in my 40s no um no in in reality like you’re reality you feel like you you mentally you feel like you could just do whatever like like you’re 30 yeah maybe even

Younger honestly yeah I mean like I was it’s funny there was me and another dad yesterday playing with our our our boys there was uh he had his two boys I had my son and we were playing basketball the two of us against them and just moving

Around we schooled them but only because we’re taller than them but it was like but the reality of it was like if I had to do more running than I actually had to have done it would have been a lot more it would have been a lot harder it

Was because I haven’t really worked out in a while but still it was there was a couple moments IO I’m breathing hard why am I breathing so hard right now so you think you you know your your mentality is you feel a lot younger you think you’re a lot

Younger than you than you always so um yeah it’s funny because my grandmother always used to tell me she’s like I feel like I’m still in my 30s and you know she was in her 60s she sometimes still acted like she was in her

30s uh no um but it was look I I just I want I want the best for him and I think honestly the best for him would be to take a long layoff you know um let your brain heal this is that time when we talked about the Bryce Mitchell

Situation we talk about anytime someone’s been knocked out viciously and he’s had it twice now two times in a row you got to let your brain recover get some get some avocados in you at night get the fats inside your body at night before you go to bed those were the type

Of things while your brain he activity there’s so many other yeah low frequency no no reading no math problems no words word puzzles none of that glasses yeah there so many things that you should be doing during that time to let your brain heal hopefully he does it yeah but man

The UFC’s got a hell of a featherweight Champion still this and this kid’s going to be there for a while John but here’s the thing though I look at and I don’t want to take any I keep saying this I don’t want to take anything away from

Toria but I look at who is there right now in comparison to when he was coming up he had vad Aldo Max I mean uh Dustin po was still in you know in still the 45 no kind of the end right kind of at the

End but you had guys that had been there for a long time there not a long time but guys that were kind of coming up I should say but they had names already he’s kind of dispatched them and they’re still in there but are they still the

Same guys that Tori is going to have to fight no it’s GNA but you can’t but you got to take a look and say they’re still incredibly talented people and you named one in eof yeah he’s undefeated how how can you look at anything better than having an undefeated Champion going against the

Undefeated Challenger you don’t see that a lot in MMA so I mean there are the PE there are people there and it’s going to be interesting to see who they put against it who did Arnold Allen just lose to evov yeah okay okay okay I was like

Wait who didn’t he just okay but he’s another guy that if he just believes in himself and and he’s a guy that I think could give torus and problems the jab the the the the Striking the movement you know I he just he can he’s got the

Body size all that stuff he just got to believe in the in himself you know he was so worried about getting taken down his takedown defense was great he’s got good striking I mean him and Tor would be a fun fight fun fun fight and then I

I like the Brian Ortega fight for Toria also but the reason why I like that fight because Brian got a chin on him and so he’s gonna take a lot of shots in that fight but can he and he’ll continue to keep dishing I know it’s not a good

Thing John but man that guy’s a tough son of a gun and I haven’t seen that guy in a boring ass fight he’s always he’s always in it even when he lost to vul the submission attempts you know in the third round like and just the triangle from the guillotine to I mean

He just looked he looked exhausted all of a sudden snatched boom got the neck like it just he’s always a threat at anywhere and every turn so I don’t there’s some fights in there the Yer fight kind of interests me too because the kicks will play a factor in that fight sure will

But but he lost to vul I mean he he show a little bit of quitting him he show a little bit of that like okay look I got hit I got like he showed a little bit there he got hit with a good shot but tore has got that good shot too so

There’s there’s a lot of ways for these guys to maybe beat him Toria but it’s G to be a tough task he’s not he’s not 15 and0 for nothing not 15 and0 for nothing all right guys hey go to way in uh go to onlyfans.com in onlyfans.com subscribe to us over there

It is free and I want to thank you guys so much for continuing to support us over there on that platform I did a Q&A there last week and uh it was pretty lit we had a good time it was last Wednesday I believe at 2 p.m. and uh I would like

To do another one this week but I will be gone in Riad and I don’t know I don’t know if you have to have a VPN over there to access only fans you probably do you probably do I think I think so because I know when I was in China you

Had for for Instagram for Facebook you had to have a VPN for everything you know they actually when I was there they didn’t have Google either either so that was in 2013 2014 I think is when I was there it tells you something yeah it should tell you something but all right

Hey well let’s go ahead and go right into the co-main event which I felt like was probably the best fight of the night oh dude these guys went like you when you’re asking for a fight and you’re you know saying hey just you know hey go out

There and put it on the light both guys went out and put it on the line Robert Whitaker looked as good as he’s looked in a long time he looked fast he was evasive you know the first round he was winning that that round he was putting great calf kicks in on Costa

Costa you know the Jabs they were landing and uh he looked he looked good he was just getting out volumed by Whitaker but the spinning wheel kick holy [ __ ] I can’t believe that Robert Whitaker was able to stay on his feet with that because it landed clean and uh

It hurt him bad you know luckily there wasn’t much time left in the round for him and so he ended up making it through the round being able to go back to his corner but that was a the Difference Maker in that round that shot came close

To ending the fight you could say so Pao Costa should have won that round I know a judge had it at 3027 I don’t know how but so be it but then Robert wh ER came back and I was really impressed with the way he came back because he came out in

That second round and he came out pretty much on fire he was he was throwing you know and I I thought he took that round and then the third round I thought Paulo Costa man he came out he was looking good he was winning the first half of

That round and then Here Comes Mr Robert Whitaker showing just what kind of heart he has and kind of took the round over right at the end of it and uh just put on a very impressive performance coming off of a loss which is not easy came in

He fought a tough dude in paoc people can say what they want paos is fast god his Robert Whitaker is fast and he was faster than Robert I was like God damn he’s when he decides to go look out man he just explodes and and the the kicks

He should have kicked a lot more yeah because his dude his front lead leg kick he has no tell on it it’s just coming up it was beautifully done he is somebody that I think we’re going to look back at his career and go man if he would have just been more

Active I think he would have found a stride like had he just kept it going after the Y and Izzy fights instead it looked like he just took time away from all the criticism he took for the glass of wine and whatever it was like he just

I don’t know what happened but he’s that that amount of time away and then he fought Luke wasn’t the greatest performance but it was a fun performance a gutty performance gutty definitely a gutty performance by both guys by both um but then I believe he got injured

Right hurt his arm or something real bad and then he comes back now and he has this fight um he’s just so talented man he’s got so much to offer the sport how old is Dave how old is Paula Costa 33 what is he like 3 32 32 I mean he’s got

He’s got some time especially in that weight class he’s in his prime you know yeah 32 is his prime you can get him all way up to 344 he’s got two more years he just got to stay busy and active and I thought also to to to give uh Robert

Whitaker credit he is coming off of a knockout loss to the now champ DDP and in that fight he got hit with some big shots and then turn around and come back and to have the mentality to go I’m not going to go backwards I’m going to go

Forward I’m going to push you around you’re supposed to be the hard Striker the power in the hands you’re you’re fast you’re explosive you live off your athleticism you’re [ __ ] model I hate you for that I’m gonna get you that’s what I’m going to do to you and so he he

Came out and he did exactly what he set his mind to he came out and dictated the pace he dictated where the fight would go I thought he did a great job I text you I think halfway through the second round I go look he’s just throwing two

Punches occasional three the third and the four are always Landing he’s just got to throw three and four not every single time but you got to set him up in terms of every time he only threw one two maybe three and the third one was always Landing get after it get him

Going back was making the mistake of going straight back he was going straight back yep uh but Whitaker I was surprised too because I’m surprised also to from vul and with uh Toria as well with with Whitaker and Costa these guys don’t need more as soon as as soon as

You clinch get right to the knee I just I’ve seen guys that that that moment when they reach for your head or for like an over like an over under that side of the body is open whatever side that reaches up over your your shoulder to grab the over under

That’s the side you need the elbow okay unless you have the under hook then you just use your elbow a tiny bit to kind of peek their elbow up and slide your knee right up underneath your own your own elbow and hits right to the liver or

Right to the ribs it’s slick it’s quick not a lot of effort and I’m so surprised that there that a lot of these Fighters not utilizing that more I wonder if that’s going to start happening more now that if they start to work on that new

Rule where you can knee if the hands on the ground that type of stuff I wonder if they’re going to start seeing more knees being utilized because we’ve I think Fighters I feel like Fighters have gotten away from it as I’m saying that I’m thinking Ian Gary landed a ton of

[ __ ] knes right up the middle tonight but his his body frame allows him to do do that but you got to look there was a moment in this fight with Costa that he landed a knee to Whitaker that you could see it hurt you know because you always

Take a look at the fighter and if they just give that little bit of a their head kind of comes down and they now they’re going backwards oh you know it’s it hurt he’s having a hard time sucking air in he’s just trying to gain some distance there was there was a

Couple of good knees in that fight but you’re right Ian Gary threw a tough yeah but I’m saying though I say like they just got that’s such an easy weapon to utilize without a lot of effort and the timing on it it doesn’t have to be hard

It’s just the timing on it as soon as you step in and you feel them start to reach for your head just throw the knee doesn’t have to be hard just right up into the ribs right up into the liver right it just it’s got to be right there

Up into the Bread Basket whatever it is and like I said it doesn’t have to be hard just the timing on it it’s got to be there but Robert Whitaker had some great moments especially in the first round and then it was stolen by the kick

Yep um to talk about the judge though real quick 3027 do we care the right guy won no do we care I I didn’t think I didn’t think we did either because as long as it wasn’t as long as the right person won yeah I I I really don’t care I don’t

Want to give it too much attention just I wanted to say like I’ll be honest I do I say the same thing even if it’s a split decision yeah you know and as long as the right guy wins I don’t care because you can’t expect all the judges don’t see the same

Fight seeing it from different angles they’re seeing it with the referee in the way or the or the you know the Fighter’s back is to them when the when the best shot is landed and they can’t see it so no yeah that’s why they have the three judges and that’s why they sit

At you know different opposing positions around the cage so no right guy won Robert Whitaker should have won the fight I thought he woned you know two rounds to one so congratulations to him Dave give me those rankings for me please let’s play matchmaker here

With middle go there we go there we go you have so many right now based upon Who The champ is you have a contingent from you know all the way down to number 11 that you could pull in there you know you could put chamay in there it would be interesting you could

Put ovov in there it would be interesting you could put Brendan Allen in there he’s on a he’s on a tear you know Brendan Allen is looking good right now you could put Marvin vtori in there it’s a tough fight you could put Jared caner in there I think they should you

Know he’s the guy if Israel wants some more time off Sean you know to sit there and give him an automatic rematch I don’t agree with that you know but Jared caner that would be the guy yeah I I mean I honestly for me I think for 300

We’re gonna see Izzy and DDP that’s the fight I think we’re going to see I’m going to stick with that weren’t they supposed to announce that today I don’t know I don’t know they said they were maybe we missed it they lied we missed it Dave Dave didn’t pay attention he

Fell asleep on his couch um Dave wasn’t asleep he was just reading the inside of his eyelids exactly uh Dave turn your camera on so everyone can see your like your little woolly uh like robe that you have on come on it’s a white woolly

Robe come on buddy let me see let’s show everybody is it kind of like the sugar Shan uh F fur coat yes it is it is I don’t want to make him look I’m just going to leave I got it I got it uh you

Know I look at Paula and I would love to see him in Chaya fight but I know that now that he’s lost this fight and then chay’s they’ve got plans for him everyone keeps talking about it they want to see him in DDP or they want to

See him in Strickland and and I don’t get I’m not mad at it I’m not mad at it I don’t want I think it’s I think it’s real simple you got you know Costa coming off a loss the leads they coming off a loss put those two together great

Fight great fight good job John golf clap golf clap you said you wanted to be matchers golf clap golf clap but then again I’m going to take the Upper Road I’m going to take chamaya versus Sean Strickland they’ve trained together they know each other the filling out process

Is over let me see that fight and the winner fights DDP after Izzy and DDP fight at 300 that’s what I’m looking at so i s you sound an awful confident player because you know Shawn’s ready to fight he’s always ready to fight so let see I don’t have any doubts

About that the thing is Sean’s like I don’t want to fight out of the country can’t come in the country so I don’t know if we’re going to see that fight either but that’s a fight I’d like to see true all right next fight Ian Gary versus Jeff Neil John this fight left

Left a lot out there to be desired there was so much more we expected from this fight yeah well but you gotta look and say if you’re part of the Ian Gary crew and on his side smart fight wait that’s you know you fought a very smart fight

You didn’t get into you know the the fighting in a foam Booth which I thought would have been a disaster for him with Jeff Neil you know you you held on to clinches even I thought in the first round he got hurt he got hit with the Left Right combination and went back

Into the cage he was hurt the noun team didn’t really pick up on it but he was hurt you know it stunned him and uh but Jeff Neil went right into a clinch and let him get himself back in the fight but I actually gave Jeff Jeff Neil that

Round based upon it I thought Jeff Neil won the first round and then Ian Gary took the next two um I agree with him winning the fight it’s not the most exciting to watch someone who’s gonna you know try to just you know dip and dab and pick

And you know throw the jab and move and you know all those things but all the kicks all the knees inside at times he did a lot of good work and he fought a smart fight against a guy like Jeff Neil it’s Jeff Neil that’s going to have to go back and look

And say man I had that I could have had that fight you could hear you know his Corner yelling you know hey cut that off don’t you know don’t follow don’t and he kept following at times and then at times when but his Corner also wanted him to

Get into that clinch on the cage and to put weight on him and to make him work and I didn’t think at times it was the right thing I thought he should have stayed out of to clinch and be in that area where you’re stepping on his foot and you’re bringing uppercuts inside

Hooks to the body all the things that dirty fighting you know we talk about dirty boxing getting a single collar tie those are all the things that you know in my opinion that’s where Ian Gary’s not strong he’s good on the outside he’s got a clean you know standup style he’s

Got good range he uses his speed speed well so where do you beat him where he can’t use that range and where his speed doesn’t matter yeah yeah where I look at Ian Gary is GNA take somebody when I think of Ian Gary and someone to beat him I think of someone

Who’s going to make it a dirty Gammy fight someone who’s going to fight him in a foam Booth someone who’s going to clinch him though as well but you just got to be more active in that position not be so afraid of losing the position you could tell that Jeff Neil was like

Man it took me a lot to get you here I don’t want to lose it so then there was not a lot of activity there so he was just trying to press him there just trying to hang on him just trying to like keep the body lock or just keep him

Pressed to the fence you can’t fight that way and as much as I can sit on the outside I know how difficult it is because I fought guys like that where you’re like come here you little [ __ ] like sit still for a second so I can hit

You well es and especially when you’re taking a look at the the difference in their height for Jeff Neil to get Ian Gary down by Body locks and things like that up against the cage m not an easy thing to do yeah and so Ian Gary fought

A very smart fight he fought he fought at range he does a very good job of keeping that distance utilizing that little thigh kick and the push kick and all those things is like a longer version of a jab very nicely done uh he’s very quick with his lateral

Movement never stays with his back against the fence or tries not to and anytime his backf foot touches that fence he’s circling out he he is he fights a very nice technical fight like I said it’s gonna take someone he’s gonna take someone who’s grimy someone

Who’s gonna just kind of do who’s gonna do what um what Toria kind of does he’s so technically sound someone’s gonna have to be like a Toria who just keeps their hands up tight not a lot of wasted movement moves their head a little bit offline not too much and counters a

Little bit every time he Jabs or anytime he goes to push kick just slips a tiny bit offline and throws the hard straight shot it’s going to be someone like that that is able to beat him or somebody who can just literally wrestle the [ __ ] out

Of him you know and if we’re looking at that welterweight division there’s a ton of guys there that can do that to him well think there’s you know there’s a lot of guys that but the one I’m looking at to say hey if you really want to look

At someone that’s in that position he called out Colby okay he called out Colby you know because he thinks he can stop col’s wrestling okay Colby is calling out older people and he’s getting older so uh probably not the greatest matchup for him right now Shawn Brady that’s a great fight I

Want to see it yeah I want to see it sea Brady looked fantastic in his last fight I know he got injured this fight but um you know Ian would he fight his old teammate in Gilbert Burns I mean gilber gilber he’s got his fight coming up right gilbertt does yeah

Jack Dela Melina yep I mean but overall look I you know I wouldn’t be opposed to a Stephen Thompson fight no that would be interesting it would it’d be great would how do you use your reach in your range against someone who is probably using their reach in

Their range and he’s a he’s a guy that does it as good as anybody yeah I mean like how how are you going to handle it and Stephen is even though he’s 40 41 years old he’s still got some speed on him ask Kevin Holland so do there’s a

There’s a little bit there and then if you look at the wrestling you know you got shovot you got Bala you got kamaru those three guys can wrestle Kobe [ __ ] can wrestle Shawn Brady can wrestle I mean you got guys in there they can wrestle so we’ll see what happens with

The Jack Dela Melena that guy can make a huge jump if he beats Gilbert Burns uh you know it makes for some fun stuff man you know and I’m not opposed to seeing like a Ian Gary and Kevin Holland fight either why not why not uh if if if if

MVP beats Kevin Holland do we see do we see that that Anan Gary that would that would be an interesting fight right that would be an interesting but to me that’s the same as putting you know Stephen Thompson that’s true Ste absolutely Stephen Thompson and uh Machado Gary

That would be great or MVP in Machado G what do you do when you’re facing someone who’s faster than you though when you’re that technically sound like yeah what do you do I mean MVP is going to be faster than him yes yeah but not by

Much I don’t know about that well we’re going to find out aren’t we all right next fight all right we had morab tavas taking on Henry cejudo and this this is the you know again it just goes to show you hey you let time go by and you know

The Years start to you know have an effect your ability to maintain you know control in a fight and the ability to stay you know calm and everything and not have the shots and all of the pressure get to you and wear you out that’s what you saw yeah it’s not it’s

Not that morab is a better fighter than Henry it’s not that he’s a better wrestler than Henry now he had some great takedowns in there you know it’s MMA and morab at least puts it all together and the one thing that he absolutely utilizes as as well as

Anybody in any weight class he utilizes pressure he puts a constant he’s going to be there to fight doesn’t doesn’t mean that he’s going to be there trying to wrestle you the whole time even though that’s usually what he’s looking for he’ll throw hands with you he just

Wants to push you and he does and I thought Henry fought the first round well I thought he actually won the first round and from that point you know just oxygen was the difference one fighter had oxygen in their lungs and one was losing it and it’s a it’s a

Nasty feeling when you’re getting tired and your opponent isn’t and that’s really what happened with Henry in the fight you know he just he got out cardio and it’s not something that I think that uh he’s used to because he’s in good shape yeah he’s in good shape he’s also

Getting a little bit older there’s that and then three years away from the sport makes a difference it takes your you take a it takes a lifetime to build up what he had built and then to step away for three years it’s gone it’s gone and then you got to try to get

It back it look and to put it in even smaller uh increments for people to understand we spend 10 weeks getting our bodies in shape and I can tell you right now in a weekend I’ve [ __ ] that all up like that it’s it’s true you see these bodybuilders these guys they get all

Ripped and shredded and everything like that and then within within a couple days they don’t even look like same person and so to think what three years off will do to you you know and he was at the world class level not just like Olympic wrestling but two Division

Champion and and ju and fighting out of weight class like if he was younger but he was able to press a fight yeah I I honestly believe had we had he stayed and just stayed at 125 we’d be having this conversation about him being better than

DJ I really believe because I look at all like uh Brandon Moreno and uh Devon figero and all the ones panoa all those guys that are coming up I think Henry Henry would have controlled them taken him down dominated him I think all of those I think he would have been able to

Do that for a long period of time and after after the DJ situation when DJ was traded away and so forth there was no one really for Henry to fight and that’s why he went to 135 to challenge himself and had a great performance and he kind

Of was the guy that SED the the spiral effect of hold on hold on he beat the 135 Champion when he was 125 pound champion yes so yes TJ Dilla and then he goes up and he wins the the 35 pound vacant title correct because that’s who

He fought uh Marlon morice for correct and then then he uh then he defended it against Dom Cruz who was considered to be the best 135 pound champion there was you know with uh and so when I look at Henry had he stayed in those three years

We could be sitting here talking about him possibly being the best fighter that ever existed possibly because he if he did it at 125 he did it at 135 and how did he do it how did he continue to do it at 135 and I guess here if he would have

Stayed would we have seen him go up to 145 and fight someone like a volkanovski you know he woulded he would have tried not saying it would have went his way but I mean that’s the kind of person he is I mean he’s already talking about if

I can’t be Mar Rob then I probably should retire do you think he’s going to I don’t want to see him retire I I want to see him get more time in there inside the room inside the cage I want to see him get back to all the years he spent

Building himself up to that level I want to see him get back to that I mean how old is Henry 35 36 can you click right so I think he’s 36 37 37 he’s got another good I say he’s got another year and a half it’s a

It’s hard at that weight class that weight class is the toughest weight class I think in the sport right now they’ve got fighters in and out of the UFC that are the top guys in the world patchy mix be in there you’ve got uh rafan stots you’ve got um mamed magedov

You’ve got you know Sergio Pettis you’ve got all these guys are I mean just there’s tons of and then that weight and in the UFC is the probably I think is the most stacked in that weight class you know it’s crazyy and there’s guys that will that weight class will give

Like Cory San Haagen will give him problems because of the reach the range the knee up the middle all of those things y so and I guess I go back to he’s I don’t want to say he’s a blown up 135 pounder but he should be a 25

Pounder yeah he always had he had problems making 125 this is true but the three years away he would have stayed in that weight class and I think he would have been probably the most if not the most dominant champion at that weight class or so on I mean it’s hard to say

DJ left and the most unhappy champion after to Mak in that way this is true ah all right next fight Anthony Hernandez taking on Roman cop love man I tell you what let me let me let me pause you for let me pause you for a second we didn’t give Mor Rob any

Love oh no we did not we did not let’s give and I want to I want look at Mor Rob came out there and fought his ass off and that’s why he won cuz he he went out there in the first round he lost that round but you saw him walking back

To his corner and he knew you know he’s he’s like yeah and what he knew was andry was starting to breathe hard I’m getting to him and that was that was a big confidence builder for him and morab just kept doing what morab does and man if it’s hard not to

Like morab it is you got you got to be a really nasty person not to like him because that dude is just freaking awesome you know I look at you know what he did you know people can say what they want the whole thing when Alain was the

Champion and morab goes no no no I’m not fighting for the champion that’s my brother loved you I loved him for that and I know that’s a tough one to do and it’s a especially tough one to do with UFC and Dana and the way he feels but

Got you know what way to go dude and now he’s saying oh I want I want the title and that the way it should be and he’s right I like the fact that he’s always calling out on on sugar Shan you know they’re two completely different

Styles but could he beat sugar Shan yeah you know could sugar Shan beat him yeah but you know if morab you know is able to wrestle the way he does I’ll tell you what his little single leg taked down on Henry with his trip was beautifully done

Multiple times that fight yeah he had the one where he picked him up put him on the shoulder and stuff but the little trip off of the single leg was beautifully done just textbook and uh he can wrestle his ass off and he has got exactly what you’re talking about that

Builtup gas tank and it you know it’s this is not something he just has he’s worked for it and he works his ass off for it and he has built himself into a goddamn cardio machine that can push harder at a higher RPM than everybody

Else and he uses it as a weapon and it is and it wins him fights and God bless him for it yeah that’s a little single leg snatch and snap behind so he just snatches the single and then he pulls you a little bit towards you and then he

Steps behind and then drives into you and you just trip and fall it’s the number one takedown I teach the young kids when I was teaching wrestling in my gyms just right away just faint them a little bit see what they do and if they don’t move just snatch the single pull

The single leg to you and then just take a hard back step behind them on that back foot and they just basically lean into them and they’ll fall over yeah so teaching young kids how to wrestle but Mor Rob’s got it down man he just took down an Olympic gold medalist hello

Multiple times it’s it’s one of the easiest takedowns uh lowrisk High reward type type position so it worked out perfectly for him he is you hit the nail on the head John how do you not like him you know um I was I was on the fence about him because I was

Like ah his fights are not really that yeah he has you know they’re they’re he pushes the pace he pushes the action but when you break when he breaks his opponents it becomes one-sided and then it’s like okay but then if the finishes aren’t there then you’re like all right

You should be able to finish this guy because you broke him already but not everyone’s easy to finish so I got keep that in my mind I remember these moments you know and you should be able to finish all these guys but they’re not not everyone’s easy to finish he is

Fantastic man I love I want to know if he um does fa if he does face uh sugar Sean is he gonna wear the red leather jacket out to the cage like is you know are we gonna see that um I’m looking forward to it man I’m looking forward to

Seeing what he can do I’m looking forward to seeing um how he we because the way he weaponizes his cardio and his conditioning and and he’s going to have to utilize his striking a little bit to close that distance against Shawn because what you’re going to see is

You’re going to see shaer reminds me of Ian Gary and Ian Gary reminds me of sha Ali and so when I look at the fight that happened tonight where Jeff Neil was trying to close that distance Mor Rob’s going to be put in that same similar

Situation he got to Step Into the Danger Zone sometime yep as as the same way though that like how Alman Sterling had to get in there so it’s GNA that’s going to you’re basically fighting a very similar fighter morab and aljo but just a little bit different in terms of how

They they close their distance and also how they weaponize their cardio morab is someone who can be patient in there like he was tonight I’m gonna let him do his thing but I’m gonna just stay in front of him make him work and as the fight

Goes on I’m gonna slowly pick it up and I’m gonna slowly pick it up and then in the five round fight I mean we’re going to see man we’re going to see so we’re going to see if gets past uh sha Ali and we’re going to see what happens but then Mor Rob’s

Obviously going to be waiting in the in the wings over there going hey I’m next licking his chop he’s sitting there next and he should be because I mean what do me a favor Dave pull up his thing what’s his win streak now I think it’s 10 is it 10 I mean it’s

Way up there I think it’s 10 10 jesz yep yeah he deserves it yep well I mean look we all know that when you when you tell the UFC know they get a little upset so they make you fight somebody else and so they made him fight Peter Young and he

Beat Peter and then he goes okay well now what do we do and they’re like okay we’ll give you Henry because Henry called out for the fight you know I hope Henry doesn’t retire and I think Mor Rob definitely deserves the next title shot so looking forward to see what happens

There but John this fight I’d be lying if I said I I would be lying if I said I thought that kopaloff was going to win but I also am very very happy for for fluffy yeah very happy I I was look I’m being honest I was rooting for fluffy to

Win I just like his heart I like the way he goes into a fight I like you know this toughness he’s sticking his tongue out he actually flipped him off at one point well do if just because you come from Northern California doesn’t mean you gotta act like the brothers

But but you know kopilov has got a serious standup style he’s got power in his left hand the kicks are hard he’s tough to take down and you know this is when you talk about hey sometimes you got to be the nail before you’re the hammer that’s exactly what you know

Anthony was going through he was taking big shots at times you took a couple of big kick kicks to the body that you knew hurt yeah and just kept coming forward and sticking with what he knew he had to do to get the fight where he could

Actually take over and he had you know he had his moments on his feet you know we talked about this fight before and we said look in the standup coff is just he’s got the advantage he’s way better and on the ground we believe that Hernandez was way better and it kind of

Played out that way but Hernandez had his moments on the feed he looked good at times he just didn’t have the the big striking moments that copyof did but man as soon as he got it to the ground you knew you knew the C was in trouble he looked

He was not comfortable and he stopped the you know the choke on the one but it was like no when once he just kept on working it back and forth sunk in it’s beautifully done the way he kept twitching arm to arm and the way he kept

Re re attacking and then there was a moment there where kopaloff started to kind of get up and and Hernandez didn’t have hooks and I was like wait what are you doing what are you doing and what he did was he he took his hooks out to pull

Him backwards back so when he pulled him backwards kopala to the chin and then that’s when he re attacked nicely done though great great um great work on the on the choke I Lov his little smile at the end there when he was shaking his

Head that he knew he had it I thought that was pretty awesome uh look when someone has they got it give me a little it was almost like that that Nick Diaz uh or sorry Nate Diaz pose exactly on the ground with a triangle yeah triangle very nicely done all right I’m we’re

Going to give a couple honorable mentions here Amanda Lemos versus McKenzie D Mackenzie dur look I think she could be the future if she could freaking learn how to do some takedowns please please take a judo class please take a wrestling class don’t fight again until you take that don’t if there’s

What but but if there’s one thing I’m gonna say McKenzie godamn you’re tough yeah you know because there look at that one point in the second round where she got hit and you saw her actually the the actual shot didn’t put her down she put herself down put her

Hands on her face like that I thought oh she she’s she’s bowing out of this you know what and something hit inside of her and she said no I’m not gonna give up because Mike Beltran was the referee and Mike Beltran is telling McKenzie move McKenzie show me you want to be

Here and she all of a sudden tried and you look and you go man I know it’s not nice to call a girl a dog man she’s a dog is she is just tough as hell you are a junkyard dog man I just give you credit because you know

I I had you losing the first round I there were some people that thought you won it because you know you were on top no she hurt you bad in the early parts of that so I thought she won the third round though you know she she was fought

Fought her ass off she lost the first and second but I thought she she won the third and you know it’s just spoke volumes of how tough she is mentally all she’s got to do is take time away from everything and work on either Judo okay and get

Into the clinch or or wrestling double legs single legs she’s got to work on that she has no concept on how to punch her way into the clinch she has no concept on shooting a double EG or snatching a single none and I’m so surprised that her coaches keep allowing

Her to go in there unprepared well it’s she’s she’s actually under new uh if you looked at who her coaches were she’s changed over she’s uh now with like Tiki Goan and Paul Herrera I hope it gets fixed though John I hope it gets fixed normally that’s what they do is they

They they do a lot of wrestling she’s got some tal she has the talent that she got obviously she showed tonight she’s got heart we’ve seen her have heart man she’s got heart she got heart and lamos lamos has got heart cuz man she was working her ass off fast with those

Kicks man those body kicks were nasty early dude some of those early kicks yeah I agree and then um mang Zang he nasty he’s got some power he’s got 100 what is is it 100% finishing rate can you pull up his record he’s got 100 I think 100% finishing rate asario was

Doing pretty good in that fight for a little bit round one round one round one what the [ __ ] I know what the that’d be like if I fought Dave that many times that’s what it would look like that’s what it would look like oh but man he

Had just big shot bam lights out fight is over nicely done and then the other fight there was uh that was a let’s go back Barlo Danny Barlo God damn thank you very much he’s talented he is talented because Josh quinland is a good fighter Josh is a

Tough very talented Hawaiian fighter and Danny Barlo with a broken arm possibly he said he thought his arm was broken put him away man I’ll tell you what Danny Danny Barlo showed me a ton in that fight that was was an impressive win against a really good opponent yeah

I thought quinland though he was having moments in the fight and then he just got carried away and he started rushing in chin in the air and then he got Clau yeah his eye was getting closed up a little bit and makes a difference of what you see well what you know John

There’s also moments when you feel like it’s getting away from you and you’ve got to do a little extra you do a little more and you leave yourself open more and the more like I had this conversation I think a week or two ago I

Said the more the more you try the more you get it feels like quicksand you’re just stuck in it it’s like every time I’m I’m going more and then I get hit more and then I try harder and then it just open myself up more and I get

Knocked out you’re like damn what was I doing I should have just fought ah well that’s gonna wrap up our UFC what is this 296 298 298 same thing 296 298 same thing same thing but before we go go to Wayan merch.com wayin merch.com and do not forget to subscribe to our YouTube
