0:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back, Hanson, and you and I every week are going to talk about what's coming up.
0:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Every week on the fight report, we're going to talk about what's coming up this weekend, what's coming up in the future, and what has happened recently, and Hanson, we're going to start with UFC 322.
0:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a good one.
0:55
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you looking forward to most in this one?
0:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a really good card.
1:00
[SPEAKER_00]: The whole main card is loaded.
1:02
[SPEAKER_00]: You got a couple good pre-lums in there as well, but I'm really looking forward to the two title fights.
1:08
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of those times where you have both title fights are a champion from a weight below coming up to fight the champion in a heavier weight.
1:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have the one five champion, Islam Market Chef.
1:20
[SPEAKER_00]: He is vacated to on 55 pound belt, which is the lightweight.
1:25
[SPEAKER_00]: He's moving up the welfare weight,
1:28
[SPEAKER_00]: New Camp Jack Melden, Melden Laneia, he's an Australian guy, this is a really interesting fight.
1:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Two of the better male fighters in the UFC, and it's followed by the title fight with Valentina Shipshanko and Wala Jeng.
1:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Jeng was the champion of 115 pounds, she vacated, and she's now fighting in Valentina for
1:57
[SPEAKER_00]: and just like in the main event, these are probably two best women fighters in the UFC.
2:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And outside of Amanda Nunez, if she decides to come back, if she decides to come back, she's still the number one female fighter, but she has retired.
2:12
[SPEAKER_00]: She's supposed to be coming back in the future for a big fight, but don't really know for sure yet.
2:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would say as of right now, these are two of the best women fighters in the UFC.
2:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's two really good title fights head in the card.
2:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm really interested in the main event, Islam, and Versus Malinania.
2:31
[SPEAKER_00]: You got two really good fighters.
2:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Jack Malinay has been in UFC for a little bit now.
2:39
[SPEAKER_00]: He's 18 and two overall.
2:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He's an interesting guy.
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He lost his first two fights as a professional fighter, and then as one 18 cents.
2:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got 12 wins, but knock out eight in the first round.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: He's really good on his feet.
2:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Really good at keeping the fight on his feet, which makes it so interesting.
2:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He is eight known UFC.
2:57
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got 18 straight wins.
2:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He's beat some of the top guys.
3:01
[SPEAKER_00]: He did beat the law Muhammad for the belt before that.
3:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He knocked out Gilbert Burns and then he's also beat Kevin Holland on his way to a title shot.
3:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you have Islam.
3:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He has been probably the pound for pound.
3:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one ranked fighter in the UFC for the last few years.
3:20
[SPEAKER_00]: He has been dominant as a 155 pound champion.
3:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He's 27 and won overall.
3:25
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got 13 wins by submission.
3:27
[SPEAKER_00]: He's won 15 fights in a row.
3:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He's 14 and won in the UFC.
3:31
[SPEAKER_00]: He's finished eight of his last nine wins.
3:34
[SPEAKER_00]: He's dominated 155 pound division.
3:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He's beat poorier, he's beat Dan Hoker, he's beat Charles Oliver, he's beat Syruki, and he beat Vulcanowski when Vulcanowski came up from 145 to challenge for the belt.
3:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He's actually beat him twice.
3:48
[SPEAKER_00]: What makes this real interesting is this, Islam's a dominant ground fighter.
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got really good wrestling and really good submissions.
3:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And Maldonani has shown that he can't keep fights on his feet and if he gets taken down he can't get back up.
4:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Islam is a different animal when it comes to the ground game.
4:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a guy who's landed 54% of his take-downs in the UFC and he's also had 3.2 take-downs per 15 minutes while they're not the god.
4:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's a guy who can if he wants to get you to the ground he can get you to the ground.
4:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So this fight is super interesting plus one thing about Islam with a lot of guys who are very
4:25
[SPEAKER_00]: that well of stand up and this long is only lost in the UFC was one of his first fights in the UFC and he did get knocked out outside of that.
4:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He's actually pretty impressive on his feet when he fought Charles Oliver for the belt.
4:40
[SPEAKER_00]: He'd not Charles down with a with a right hook.
4:42
[SPEAKER_00]: It was actually a counter hook as well.
4:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And in the Porea fight, he showed really good stand-up with a guy who has really good box and then does the Borea.
4:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Islam isn't just a wrestler.
4:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He does have a good stand-up and he's not afraid to stand up.
4:55
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he will strike with Mount Ananya as much as he can.
4:59
[SPEAKER_00]: But his main goal is going to try to get this fight to the ground.
5:02
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to look to submit him.
5:04
[SPEAKER_00]: and try to take his 170 pound title.
5:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Islam is more than a two to one favor in this win a hand than a new degree of that.
5:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I do agree with it.
5:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, Islam's been the number one pound for pound fighter.
5:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's slowing down any.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's still at the very top of his game.
5:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He's finished eight of his last nine wins.
5:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Islam's rolling and I just think he's a hard guy to be right now.
5:30
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I would I would look for Islam to be the favorite
5:33
[SPEAKER_00]: and almost any fight you could put him in right now with with guys around his weight class.
5:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's that good of a fighter.
5:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's shown he's that good of a fighter.
5:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been that good of a fighter and I think he has a very good chance to win his second belt in UFC.
5:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to go down.
5:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he gets to the ground.
5:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he submits him.
5:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Madanya shown the ability to get up.
5:58
[SPEAKER_00]: He shown the ability to be tough while on the ground, but I think it's just a different level.
6:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the Islam's wrestling is very good.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It's emissions are very good.
6:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's just super strong.
6:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's the guy going up and wait.
6:10
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to have to cut weight anymore.
6:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, so I look for him to be even stronger at 170 pounds.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Melania is not that big of a guy.
6:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's not going to be huge to Islam.
6:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think he's going to be able to give you many problems on the ground.
6:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Now on the feet, he may give Islam trouble on the feet, but if it gets to the ground, I think that's where Islam dominates.
6:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's where he ends the fight.
6:42
[SPEAKER_01]: and USC322 in the women's fly weight division.
6:46
[SPEAKER_01]: And like the men's main event, this event has a fighter moving up a weight, and that is Zeng, where Lee, tell me about this fight.
6:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, these are two of your top women in the UFC, Valentina.
7:02
[SPEAKER_00]: She's been one of the best fighters in UFC since she's gotten to the UFC.
7:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Before she came in, they didn't even have a flyweight division.
7:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just 145-135 and she such a badass.
7:13
[SPEAKER_00]: She fought at 135 pounds and beat most of the top girls there.
7:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Her only two of her only three losses in the UFC were to amend the known guys.
7:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of people think she won the second fight.
7:27
[SPEAKER_00]: uh, paying you who was a champion.
7:29
[SPEAKER_00]: She's beat Holly home who was a champion at 135.
7:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So, she's just been dominant since she stepped into UFC.
7:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Once they made the 125 class, she was the champion there, and she's dominated that class every since.
7:43
[SPEAKER_00]: She's beat a lot of former champions.
7:45
[SPEAKER_00]: She beat Yohana.
7:46
[SPEAKER_00]: She beat Andra.
7:47
[SPEAKER_00]: She beat Grasso.
7:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Now Grasso did beat her the first time they fought.
7:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Except for Nuneus, like I said, Nuneus may be the best women fighter that's ever fought UFC, so that's not no slot there to fully start, but the Valentin is 25 and 4 overall.
8:08
[SPEAKER_00]: She says she's very well-rounded.
8:10
[SPEAKER_00]: She has eight knockout seven submissions, five wins in the first round.
8:14
[SPEAKER_00]: She's 14 and 3 into UFC and she did event her last loss.
8:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Then she's been dominant and the same goes for Wally.
8:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Wally is 26 and 3.
8:24
[SPEAKER_00]: She's also well around that she's got 11 knockouts, 8 submission.
8:28
[SPEAKER_00]: She's got 11 finishes in the first round.
8:30
[SPEAKER_00]: She's 10 and 2 in UFC and she's on a five-fight win streak.
8:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Wally is his bot three former champs and she's beat all three young and she beat all three on my stoppages.
8:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, in my honest opinion, Wally is my favorite underdog on this card.
8:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I really like her in this fight.
8:48
[SPEAKER_00]: She's super well-rounded.
8:49
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to be able to fight Valentina anywhere this fight goes and I think she's catching Valentina at the right time.
8:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Father Tom is undefeated and I think Valentina's head.
9:01
[SPEAKER_00]: issues in her last few fights, four fights ago.
9:03
[SPEAKER_00]: She fought a girl named Santos and a lot of people thought Santos won that fight.
9:07
[SPEAKER_00]: She was awarded the win by the judges, but if you watched the fight, you didn't really think she won and then she did lose her next fight to Grasso when she defended the battle against her.
9:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she did end up beating Grasso the second to where I think they had a draw in between and then she beat her the third time they fought.
9:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And then she just had another title defense coming off her last fight.
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think Wally is catching her at a good time.
9:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Wally is on the trajectory up and I think that Valentina might be slowing down a little bit.
9:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So Wally's actually my favorite underdog on this card.
9:42
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I think she can win this fight She's very good on her feet.
9:45
[SPEAKER_00]: She's got power in her hands.
9:47
[SPEAKER_00]: She's got a lot of stoppages from knockouts two of the champion.
9:51
[SPEAKER_00]: She beat.
9:52
[SPEAKER_00]: She stopped by knockout
9:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So, she's very good on her feet, and then she also is very well-rounded.
9:57
[SPEAKER_00]: She has good take-downs as well.
9:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Her take-down defense, I haven't seen really anybody try to take her down, because she's been more of the offensive wrestler in her fights.
10:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know Valentina Boat get her on the ground, but I think, you know, Grasso was able to get Valentina down.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I think while I could get Valentina down.
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So, it's a very interesting fight, and I really like while I lay in this fight.
10:19
[SPEAKER_00]: don't know how it's going in.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see it maybe being a decision because both girls are very tough, but I do think while a surprises are buying, I think while a wins our second title on Saturday.
10:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And while a is the underdog in this one, but you're only getting six cents on the dollar.
10:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's almost 50 50 and they guess with this one.
10:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think those odds are right.
10:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is a very close
10:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just going to be a very good fight.
10:49
[SPEAKER_01]: A couple other really good fights.
10:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Welterweight fights Saturday night in Madison Square Garden, USC 322, Sean Brady and Michael Morales, Leon Edwards against Carlos Prattis and yes Prattis.
11:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Brady and Prattis are the favorites in that one, but.
11:12
[SPEAKER_01]: None of these four fights have a clear cut favorite.
11:16
[SPEAKER_01]: You can see anybody went in any of these fights on Saturday night, right?
11:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're two really exciting fights.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, when they put this card together, those are two fights that stood out to me.
11:27
[SPEAKER_00]: You got Brady who's been on the road.
11:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He's 18 and won overall.
11:31
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a well-rounded fighter as well.
11:33
[SPEAKER_00]: He's more of a ground guy.
11:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He does have six of his wins by some missions.
11:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got three in the first round.
11:39
[SPEAKER_00]: He is eight and one of you have seen his on a three-fight win streak.
11:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He just stopped.
11:43
[SPEAKER_00]: former champion on Edwards in his last fight.
11:46
[SPEAKER_00]: He's also beat Gilbert Burns.
11:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He'd be Kevin Gasselum.
11:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, submitted Kevin Gasselum and he's beat Michael Casah.
11:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been on a role.
11:54
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's ranked number two right now.
11:57
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been climbing through the vision.
11:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a big win for him probably gets him a title shot.
12:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, Morales is ranked number eight, but he is no easy win.
12:06
[SPEAKER_00]: This kid is kind of been a fast riser came in with a lot of hype.
12:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He's 18
12:13
[SPEAKER_00]: 13 wins by knockout nine in the first round.
12:17
[SPEAKER_00]: He six and only UFC and he stopped his last to opponent who are supposed to be his hardest fights, you know, he did knock that go were burns and he knocked out no man who's been a solid long career guy in the UFC and he burned right through him.
12:33
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a very entertaining fight.
12:35
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an exciting fight.
12:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Browse is coming in with a lot of momentum.
12:39
[SPEAKER_00]: A big win for him.
12:40
[SPEAKER_00]: He steals all the Brady's momentum.
12:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Both of those guys are coming in on a row right now.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think impressive performance, but either one of them probably gets some a tighter shot.
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Even with Morales being ranked number eight, he's a kid that said yes to every fight they've offered him.
12:54
[SPEAKER_00]: He hasn't turned anything down.
12:55
[SPEAKER_00]: He's fought a lot since he's been in the UFC.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I know Dana likes that type of stuff.
13:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It went here.
13:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he could jump a lot of the guys in the well-to-weight division.
13:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is a very very intriguing fight for both of these guys.
13:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm really interested to see.
13:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I do lean more towards Brady because I really like his wrestling.
13:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I like his ground game.
13:18
[SPEAKER_00]: No, he's submitted Leon Edwards after just dominating him for four rounds.
13:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Looking down at Will kept in there, beating him up on the ground.
13:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty much just drained his energy and then tapped him out for the win with a guillotine choke.
13:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So I really like Brady's ground game, haven't seen Morales on the ground, he's blown through everybody's bottom UFC.
13:38
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a real interesting fight.
13:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait for it.
13:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm leaning Brady, but I wouldn't be surprised if Morales wins.
13:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He's very dangerous on his feet.
13:49
[SPEAKER_00]: uh he throws everything he got power in his hands feet knees elbows he's one of those type of strikers where he can hit you with anything uh he reminds me of like a larger loran Murphy in the last fight Murphy had he came in as a big under dog against her wrestler Aaron Pico
14:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And I told you to watch out for him because he would, you know, he's one of those guys that makes you pay when you try to go in for a take down and even up in the knockout, and that fight.
14:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And I could kind of see this fight going that way.
14:16
[SPEAKER_00]: As of right now, I do lean towards Brady.
14:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's a cleaner wrestler.
14:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I think his wrestling will get him the victory here.
14:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he'll win by a decision.
14:30
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the same thing with the Edwards and Pratis should be a great fight and I know it's one you're looking forward to.
14:38
[SPEAKER_00]: This one's probably the fan favorite fight on here.
14:40
[SPEAKER_00]: It's two really good kickboxers.
14:42
[SPEAKER_00]: two guys that should put on a good fight here.
14:45
[SPEAKER_00]: A parade takes has been on a roll.
14:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a fan favorite.
14:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just coming off of a really impressive elbow knockout of Jeff Nill and August.
14:54
[SPEAKER_00]: He's five and one you have seen and all five of his wins are by knockout.
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's one of those type of guys and we're just a guy who's not afraid to stand and bang as well.
15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got really good kickbox and he's 22 and five with seven knockouts five in the first round.
15:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think this is going to be
15:09
[SPEAKER_00]: a bar and burner, I think both these guys are gonna come in.
15:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Pray days just, that's the only way he knows how to fight.
15:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And average is on a bit of a slide.
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He's lost two in a row since, since losing his belt.
15:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's somebody's trying to jump back in the mix.
15:21
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's probably gonna be in there looking for impressive win as well.
15:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And I can really just see this when being a really fun fight that could be a dog fight.
15:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Or somebody could get stopped early in this fight.
15:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm leaning towards prey days.
15:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he will get the job run.
15:40
[SPEAKER_01]: There'd be a bit of an upset, wouldn't it?
15:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a lot of people probably do think a praetace does win this fight.
15:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I would just on a bit of a slide.
15:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And praetace is just one of those guys that just comes in and he's only knows one way to fight.
15:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's there to finish fights.
15:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that his style will get him this win.
16:04
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Hanson, let's talk to him fighting.
16:06
[SPEAKER_01]: News and notes and the big one.
16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: As Virgil Ortiz got a big win, TKO last weekend against Ericsson Lubin, what do you think's next for him?
16:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Super impressive fight for him.
16:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Lubin was a guy who's very tough.
16:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Not too many people have been able to hurt Lubin.
16:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Let alone stop him in the fastened Virgil Ortiz did.
16:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Not to mount on his feet, let him dead their rights on the ropes.
16:29
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a really good performance.
16:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Virgil Ortiz is cruising right now.
16:33
[SPEAKER_00]: He's 24 and 0 with 22 knockouts.
16:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It's number two ranked super well-to-weight in the world right now, and he's the in-term WBC well-to-weight champion, and I think he only fight to make now his him and boots in us, a boots in us as your other.
16:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, through weight champion right now and those two have kind of been on a collision course as it is.
16:53
[SPEAKER_00]: They both take in some kind of warm up fights to get to this point But I think that's the only fight to make for either one of them.
17:00
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a huge fight and it's a very fun fight and a very interesting fight as well You know, I think boots are probably going as the favorite But burglow disease is very good You cannot doubt this kid at all He's very good.
17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He's quick.
17:13
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got good counter punch and any show in his last fight.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He is super strong
17:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a very interesting fight.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I'm very looking forward to that one.
17:25
[SPEAKER_01]: In Great Britain, middleweight fight between Connor Ben and Chris Ubank this weekend, a big rivalry, also supposedly we're going to get an Anthony Joshua Jake Paul fight.
17:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's in the rumor meal right now.
17:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Since Tank fell out, they've been looking for a replacement, and it sounds like it's going to be Joshua, but then I'm here and then it might not.
17:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Her Josh was waiting to fight the first year next year.
17:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It kind of wants to get back into headweight mix.
17:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they're throwing wilder out there.
17:55
[SPEAKER_00]: They said if he can get past wilder, they're looking at maybe Joshua and Fury fighting sometime next year.
18:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So I really don't know.
18:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a very risky fight for Joshua.
18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Even if he goes in and wins, it's something he's supposed to do.
18:09
[SPEAKER_00]: If he doesn't go in and look completely flawless, people will think negative about it.
18:13
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a super risky fight for him.
18:16
[SPEAKER_00]: For Jake Paul, it's also super risky because he can go in there and get really hurt.
18:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's on the skill levels and Anthony Joshua.
18:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he can take those
18:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a super risk for him, but I understand why he would do it.
18:33
[SPEAKER_00]: It's he's searching for the name for the big fight, the big pay days.
18:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of all he's been looking for, just to stay relevant.
18:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly don't know if we get that fight.
18:42
[SPEAKER_00]: It is just too risky on both sides, and I think Josh was still looking forward to bigger heavyweight fights, but you never know, money talks, Netflix isn't all, so there'll be a big pay day for both of them.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So we just have to wait and see.
18:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's I don't know if it fits anything that will happen and our final segment each week Hanson we look ahead to the biggest fights coming up and we don't have to look ahead to far next week In Riyadh Saudi Arabia the night of champions David Benavides
19:23
[SPEAKER_01]: against Anthony Yarday for the Light Heavyweight Championship, also Devon Haney and Brian Norman for the WBO Welterweight title.
19:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you also got Jesse Rodriguez and Daniel Martinez too for the super flyway title So it's a huge night huge fights on there I'm really excited for that David Pinavita.
19:43
[SPEAKER_00]: This is one of my favorite fighters He's a guy who's just really impressive every time he goes out there He's a guy that's had a hard time getting fights a lot of the top guys don't want to fight David Pinavita And I don't blame him.
19:55
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a guy that goes in and and he just
19:58
[SPEAKER_00]: He puts it on him.
19:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got an incredible pace for a bigger guy and he's got a punch and power.
20:03
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a long and lanky, but he does have punch power.
20:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Wilder, I wouldn't say to that extent and he's way more skillful than Wilder was, but he does have sneaky power.
20:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's very fun to watch.
20:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited about this fight.
20:17
[SPEAKER_00]: The Prime Norma Junior Devon Hayne fight is also very intriguing.
20:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Hayne had very big trouble with Rye Garcia's left hand when he fought him and Bryan Norma Junior's got a left hand that can put in by it out.
20:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So that fight's very interesting as well.
20:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the Jesse Rodriguez, Verstano Martinez, he got the World Champion face in the number four ranked kind of flyway division.
20:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just a fun car, a good night of boxing, and that's something I'm really looking forward to.
20:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been looking forward to that for a while.
20:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Ever since I announced this car, I know one fight fell off, a better beat was supposed to be on here as well, but he fell off, but they did bring up Dula Mason back.
20:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He's probably going to start the car and get Sam nooks.
20:59
[SPEAKER_00]: That should be a easy win for Mason, so he could put on another great performance.
21:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be a fun night, a big card with some big fights on it and I'm really looking forward to that one.
21:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And some crafting.
21:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for your time as always and we will talk some fighting again next week.
21:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I appreciate it.
21:48
