  Right. Like for the UFC 296 card coming
• 0:04
  up right at this weekend. So what are your predictions?
• 0:09
  Let's let's just take the main card, right.
• 0:11
  So what are your predictions for the main card?
• 0:13
  Main event? Leon Edwards versus Kobe
• 0:15
  Covington. Who are you beating?
• 0:17
  Oh, OK. I was going, I was going to, I
• 0:19
  was going to pull out the card here, UFC 296 because you are
• 0:23
  saying all right main card, I'll start from the card opener then
• 0:29
  I'll get to the top. So Vicente Lucy versus Ian Gary.
• 0:33
  Ian Gary is coming into this fight with a with a lot of drama
• 0:35
  with regards to his wife and Sean Strickland and a lot of
• 0:39
  people on MMA community bullying him.
• 0:41
  And I feel, I feel for the poor guy and I want him to win just
• 0:45
  so he doesn't get in his head. I think he's capable of beating
• 0:50
  Vicente Luke. Vicente Luke has been in the UFC
• 0:52
  forever. He's one of those guys that has
• 0:54
  had over 20 fights in the UFC, is a very, very good veteran.
• 0:59
  I think he and Gary can get it done with striking the next one,
• 1:02
  Tony Ferguson versus Paddy Pimple Paddy.
• 1:05
  Pimple. Yeah, every MMA fan wants Tony
• 1:08
  Ferguson to win because of how many LS he has been taking
• 1:11
  recently. But regardless, I think the hype
• 1:14
  train of Paddy Pimplets will probably be a bit too much.
• 1:18
  But I actually do want to see Tony Ferguson win the next one.
• 1:21
  Shafkat Rachmanov versus Stephen Thompson.
• 1:24
  A lot of people have say Chef Kat is going to be a champion in
• 1:27
  the welterweight division because of how talented he is.
• 1:30
  He is from a country called Kyrgyzstan.
• 1:35
  A lot of Kyrgyzstania, you know, our chats always, whenever he
• 1:38
  fights, till you stand. By the way, is the same country
• 1:40
  that no, no, no, no Valentina Shevchenko.
• 1:46
  Something she's. Yeah.
• 1:50
  Distance. Yeah.
• 1:53
  Or is it from Kazakhstan? No, it's, she's from Kyrgyzstan.
• 1:57
  And yeah, so I think, I think Chef cut this will be his
• 2:04
  biggest test. Umm, if he decides to grapple,
• 2:07
  then it wouldn't be nice for Steven Thompson.
• 2:09
  Steven Thompson always struggles with wrestlers, but if it's pure
• 2:14
  striking, still going to put him out.
• 2:15
  But I think Chef got smart enough to take it down.
• 2:17
  So I think Chef Kat takes this one.
• 2:19
  Next is a flyweight title fight. Alexandra Pantoja versus Brandon
• 2:24
  Ruba. Pantoja is Brazilian Fantasia.
• 2:35
  All right, Brandon. I don't know.
• 2:39
  I don't know how to call. This fight is very right in the
• 2:41
  middle for me and when it's hard to call, I'll just give the
• 2:45
  champion edge. I'll just give the Champions
• 2:48
  edge, the the, the, the odd, I think.
• 2:51
  I think Pantoja wins next the main event.
• 2:56
  Leon Edwards versus Kobe Covington.
• 2:58
  Not a fan of Leon Edwards for obvious reasons.
• 3:02
  Not a fan of Kobe Covington for obvious reasons.
• 3:04
  But when it comes to the two of them and more, I would rather
• 3:08
  have someone annoy me and entertain me than someone annoy
• 3:11
  me and not entertain me. So in in that sense, I'm leaning
• 3:15
  towards Kobe Covington. But I think Leon is too much for
• 3:18
  him. I think Kobe isn't tested
• 3:20
  enough. He has been off.
• 3:22
  He hasn't been fighting for a long time.
• 3:24
  That doesn't. I don't.
• 3:25
  I'm not questioning his will to fight and all that, but I think
• 3:27
  Kobe might get Leon is going to get done.
• 3:31
  So Leon wins this one. Interesting.
