  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome fight fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for this week's edition of the fight report week end preview with hands and crafting this weekend hands and it's all about UFC 320 and it's a big one, isn't it?
• 0:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it is.
• 0:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Two title fights in a really good lead of fight.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's the light heavyweight championship, of course, Megameth, Uncle I have against Alex Pereira, your rematch of UFC 313, where Uncle I have won the title by unanimous decision should be a good one again, shouldn't it?
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here occurs.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm being clamped favorite.
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people be tuning into this, Uncle I has been dominant, he has run since being in the UFC.
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's two of the right guys, it's two of the best fighters in 205 fighting for the bill.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: So they have the right guys here, he's a rematch, so it is, it's a real interesting real good fight.
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Monot Perse came out said that he was only 40% in his last fight, but everybody's going to say that in the fight they lose, especially in MMA, nobody really goes into fights 100% but he's still is very interesting and it's a really good card.
• 1:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: to make for a real fun night of some fights.
• 1:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that Bantamweight championship is Morab Davishvili against Corey Sandhagen.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: But let's start with the light heavyweight championship.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: A rematch, remind the listeners what happened the first time, handson.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: The first fight it was real interesting.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Monklaugh has a huge advantage.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: You would think wrestling was and on the ground with his ground game.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he chose to stay on prayer the whole time, and he is a guy who does have a good stand-up But he's 21 and 1 overall.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: He does have 11 knockouts, and he's got six in the first round So he is a guy who can stand up.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got good power in his hands More of a one punch guy.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got a big power in his right hand But he does have a good
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: decent stand up for your Dagestany wrestler.
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got a good stand up easy.
• 2:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm a streak where he had a few knockouts in a row.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it won't point at three, three knockouts in four fight spanned.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's last, I think he's last two fights of bend decision, but he did get a stoppage before that.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he is a guy that can stand with him.
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's still with him the whole fight.
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: End up winning a nasty decision on the feet.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: So makes this fight interesting because like I said, he would have the advantage on the ground.
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: You would think he would almost be willing to take the fight there.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he won the first fight on his feet.
• 2:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So now it's kind of like he probably thinks he could win either way.
• 2:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he can mix up a little bit more.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's got to be in a previous hell a little bit.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: No one will need lost last time and pretty much a kickbox in fight.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: So then what's the answer for Pereira?
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's very good stand up.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got power in both hands, FC.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's 12 and three.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got 10 knockouts.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's 12 wins at four in the first round.
• 3:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: You would think he had the advantage on the feet, but like I said, you know, Colette wasn't afraid to stand with him last fight, stewed with him the old fight and I did clinch a lot, kind of put him against the cage, seeing the wearing my a little bit.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: But like I said, he won the stand up portion of the fight.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, none of it worked because he lost it.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Rare is going to have to try to land a big shot now.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: No uncle of has bid the setable to leg kicks in the past.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: He had to fight.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: They went to a draw and the guy with the other guy was real successful with leg kicks, especially low leg kicks.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Prayer is a guy who does throw good leg kicks.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got good power in his kicks.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's something that he could look to do to change the fortune of this fight.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think he's going to have to do that.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: You'll have to who want to get those late kicks going.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that'll give him his best shot to land something hard upstairs with his hands.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And maybe when the fighter or changed the fight, but it's not, it goes like the first fight.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can see on Clevver when in this fight, I actually think on Clevver when this fight again.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: He just has more ways to win.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think he's just got the better advantages, especially with him being willing and
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: You think he had changed as a approach this time?
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he does and he's already proved that he can stand with the guy.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think he goes in this time and he just wins the fight.
• 4:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he probably does use his wrestling a little bit more like I said, he's a Dagestan and he's got a really good wrestling, especially for the 205 weight division where you don't really have many dominant wrestlers.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he goes in using his wrestling.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he probably, I think this fights probably a little bit easier for him.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, clearly you're taking on the live.
• 4:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was obvious even before you said it.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, well, clearly you're taking him.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think you're expecting a stoppage of some kind this time.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think he will stop and Prayer has been stopped on his feet.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Addison is stopped him when they fought the second time where the third time they fought.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was stopped by addisonia.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I could see him get stopped there, but I think on Clevver get it to the ground where he like I said he has a huge advantage there, and I think he wins the fight here on the ground.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is a dangerous game standing with with pair.
• 5:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: When he had five knockouts on the row.
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was he's unbeaten it.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't beaten it to at 205 pounds.
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: He had four knockouts in his five fights at 205 pounds.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he is a dangerous guy on his feet.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think on Clive, it's just gonna take him to the ground where he does have the big advantage of the two and I think that's where he gets the fight done.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: but it's not yet.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think we got the rest of this year on ESPM prep review and then it changes.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, so good the undercard and the obvious headline of the undercard is Daavish Vili and Sanhagan and the obvious star of that one is Daavish Vili.
• 6:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sanhagan gonna have anything for him.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Morav.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: his nickname is the machine and he's every bit of it.
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's a guy that he just does not get tired.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got one of the best probably the best cardio I've ever seen.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: It makes martial arts.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: He could just go literally all night.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't seem to get tired in any type of fight whether it's best pace.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Three rounds, five rounds.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: He can go with anybody.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's a on a thirteen five win streak.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's been very active.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's fought.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: This would be a third fight in the calendar year.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's already fought twice.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: He stopped at Ovalian June and then he fought in January.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's just like I said, he's a machine.
• 7:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's very good on the ground.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got really good wrestling.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: He fought Henry Serguito who was an Olympic gold medalist and he out wrestled him.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got a great wrestling for MMA and like I said, it's cardio will
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: continue to, to try to take guys down even if the first shot gets stopped, he could keep going.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: He can chain rest over really well.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's at the peak right now and I just think he's going to be too much for San Hague and no San Hague and isn't guy who's got five losses on his record, he has struggled with wrestlers.
• 7:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: He did win his last fight, I think he fought me, he knocked out a Davidson figure out, but
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: and new Mars a guy who give his really beat in his second title defense.
• 7:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, and I think Marab's got a couple other guys that he's beat that Corey St.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Higgins lost to.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think St.
• 8:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Higgins is susceptible to the take-down, and I think that's going to be an easy path from a rob.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, I think he's got some of the best cars, some of the best wrestling in the division, and I think that'll be what a that'll be St.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Higgins downfall.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: You agree with Dana White that Dovish really is the greatest band-in-white of all time.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to argue.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got a really good resume.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's beat some of the guys who everybody said was the best.
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, although at one point, they thought it was the best.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's beat all though.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's beat figure rail.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: He beat beyond.
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: and he's beat Umar who people thought was going to give him his toughest fight.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now I know a lot of people O'Malley's a big champion, but I don't think O'Malley's as good as a fighter some of these other guys, but he has beat O'Malley twice.
• 8:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think yeah, I think he really is like I said plus his skill set.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: to have his car, you know, to build a put on his pace with his wrestling.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have to build a stop to take down.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: You got to stop to take down the 25 minutes because he will just shoot.
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think when he fought Yon, he set the record for the most take down attempts in a fight.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he just stayed on him even if Yon stopped a couple.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was able to put a couple more in the beginning down.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: But once he gets you down, he can keep you there.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And his last fight with O'Malley did some meetings.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he is getting better with his submissions.
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he's got really good top game, really good control.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And like I said, I think his wrestling, he's just gonna be too much for San Hagan this fight.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think his wrestling's what carries him to his elite status.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, the main event is a light heavyweight fight, but it's not the only big light heavyweight fight on the card.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: He got a real fan favorite in the lead to the two title fights with Yuri Parhatsa and Khalil Roundtree, Jr.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: They both have that kind of fat the same guy's the less so they both just beat you more here
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: For Hoska did knockout some all round tree dominating for five rounds in their last fight and they both have losses to Alex Bradley both and stopped Alex prayer But both of these guys are looking to get another title shot.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think a dominant win for either one of these guys We'll get them a title shot regardless of who wins.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think if uncle of wins You're he's probably more likely to get a title shot a few wins
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: if prayer winds may be not you because he has lost to prepare a twice both times he's been knocked down by prayer.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, but if round tree winds, I think round tree would face either one of them, they'll batter who wins the title fight.
• 10:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, so this is a real interesting fight.
• 10:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a don't blink type fight.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Both these guys are finisher's, you know, year he's 31 and five and he's got 27 knockouts, 23 in the first round.
• 10:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: round trees 15 and six with nine knockout seven in the first round.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So this one's not going to distance.
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Somebody's going to go to sleep on this in this fight possibly within the first two rounds.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's a really exciting fight to kind of lead into the two title fights.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's some good fights.
• 11:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the Josh Emmett fight is a good use of Zal is a really big favorite But Josh Emmett's one of those guys, you know what four ounce gloves he could play by his lights out So he's a dangerous underdog.
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know he's plus 330 right now But he is a guy who does have huge knockout power in both hands and he's also a guy who's been down in fights and got a late knockout to win fights So he's always dangerous especially in a three round fight like I said with those four ounce gloves
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: He can anything can happen with a guy like Josh Yemen in there.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's a very exciting fight.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then that's the four main fights on this card are really good fights, especially fan favorite fights.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a solid card of this week.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Been a little bit of a downtime in the fight season the last few weeks.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: After the a big couple of weekends, huge, huge weekends.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but it kind of this weekend is really just this, but it's good to have UFC back.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
• 12:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's, uh, what do you call that main event?
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: What do you, you know, UFC
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's really all the fighting there is this weekend, but it is a big one.
• 12:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a really big card, like I said, a lot of fun fights on that one.
• 12:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not really much going on in boxing, but boxing does have a, uh, November, once November gets here, you will start seeing some really good boxing.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think we're going to bring up next.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the first big card in these November, 11th.
• 12:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe 11th or a week after that, but that's a loaded card in, um,
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where they're fighting.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I had really nasty.
• 13:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know it's on the zone, but that's a really big one.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've been a V-days.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've been a V-days is on there, better B-days is on there, and Devon Haney's on there.
• 13:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: So they got a really nice card plant coming up in November, and then after that you've got
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, in a way in December and then going into next year have some really good fights, so it looks like the the binavita's car is November 22nd, it's going to be in Saudi Arabia and it's just loaded when you got four title fights and then you got to do the Mason start in the card off Jesse Rodriguez, the Finn in his belt, Brad Norman Jr.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: coming off a huge knockout fighting Devon Hayney for Devon Hayney's belt and you've got better beer bouncing back from the ball fight.
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then you've got, of course, David been in Vita as again to Anthony already.
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So a huge card in November for box.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then like I said, lead me to December, which is going to have a couple of big fights in that.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: So box on a pickback up in a month or so, we have for right now the UFC, it's all we got, but it's a really good card, especially a fan favorite time card this weekend.
• 14:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: And potential Joshua Wilder fight in the works.
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think it's exciting anytime, um, that's it's still going to be interesting fight with those two.
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, to really big punches who I wouldn't say that the Dante Wilder was disappointing.
• 14:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: In fact, he probably way, um, outperformed his abilities and skill.
• 14:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sure.
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: He definitely outperformed.
• 14:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's a guy that I'm in certain certain times probably never would have sniffed a heavy weight title.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: So what you want to do with eating it was really impressive.
• 14:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Especially with the skill said he was always kind of sloppy boxer, but he just had
• 14:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: such power in his right hand and he was just, you know, he's unbeatable against certain guys because of that power.
• 15:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's certain guys could get off the bat.
• 15:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then Joshua was a guy who was a skilled fighter.
• 15:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was on Olympian.
• 15:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: He just had a lot of holes in his game and when he fought certain guys, he was he was beatable.
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: But there were ones two of the top guys of the division.
• 15:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it was still being interesting fight whenever they do fight.
• 15:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, I still like watching both of them fight.
• 15:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've kind of given up on Anthony Joshua, but I really have, I really do like watching both those guys.
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I love the heavyweight division, I have not been very good, we pray that it's going to be good again.
• 15:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: It might be good again pretty soon from what we're seeing, but even your guy, Eucic, and that real excited.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, he's nice and like you said, it's not really the best right now.
• 15:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully it does get better, but
• 15:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's still always fun to watch some of these guys play it like Joshua and Wouter if he was to come back out of Sure, he would still draw a crowd as well But we got up I still can't believe he got up.
• 16:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh Yeah, no, they're wilder fighting.
• 16:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was like the Undertaker I cannot believe it To this day, I see it and I think there is no ways to get them up
• 16:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's no way.
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even though on what happens, it's still just like, you just can't, especially, you know, with the puncture water had shown to be or that.
• 16:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's six, there was no, it, the count of six.
• 16:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: It looked like he was done.
• 16:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was open his eyes and said it.
• 16:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then survived a flurry and then kind of made his legend right then and there.
• 16:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, he argued we won the next two rounds.
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, first, no, he first heard one.
• 16:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: He wanted to fight with those last year row.
• 16:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought it was just a movie.
• 16:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, after taking the hardest punches, one of the hardest punches I've ever seen.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then in their last fight, you know, he got, he got in drill in the temple with that one, and he just couldn't get eight losses, legs, but somehow he was able to ride it out and then get his legs back under and end up stopping wilder.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I always wanted him to lose, too.
• 17:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like bowling through the bowling.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but you can fight.
• 17:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you can.
• 17:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: He has a thing so much.
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ah, no problem.
• 17:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
• 17:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, join us later today for our reaction to the Purdue Illinois football game.
• 17:27
