Speaker 1: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome back to another episode, episode number
0:05
Speaker 1: one thirteen of the So called Sports Analysts, And this
0:08
Speaker 1: one is just me right here, Josh, he isn't here,
0:10
Speaker 1: and we're actually about to go out of town. But
0:13
Speaker 1: this episode is going to be something different, something I've
0:16
Speaker 1: been wanting to try out for a little bit, and
0:19
Speaker 1: maybe I could convinced Josh to do this. I know
0:21
Speaker 1: he doesn't know a lot about this. So this episode,
0:23
Speaker 1: obviously you're listening to it right now, it's about UFC
0:27
Speaker 1: three seventeen, something I've been wanting to talk about for
0:30
Speaker 1: a while. I'm excited to talk about it. But before
0:33
Speaker 1: I get all into that, let me go ahead and
0:35
Speaker 1: say my monologue. Find us on Twitter at Flying Garcia hundred,
0:38
Speaker 1: Underscroll fons of zero three. Find us on Twitch, Discord, TikTok,

Speaker 1: sure you share this to anybody and send this to
0:50
Speaker 1: anybody that likes sports. And this includes football, basketball, maybe
0:55
Speaker 1: Baseball's coming soon and now UFC And okay, I'm gonna
1:01
Speaker 1: put this out here in the clear forefront. I do
1:05
Speaker 1: not know or have this extreme knowledge about UFC. I'm
1:10
Speaker 1: just really passionate. I really do like to watch UFC,
1:14
Speaker 1: and I feel like this event UFC three seventeen, this
1:17
Speaker 1: is one of the biggest events in a while, and
1:19
Speaker 1: not to mention, it's International Fight Week. So I decided
1:24
Speaker 1: to try to do a little bit more research and
1:27
Speaker 1: give accurate predictions on the three seventeen fight card here.
1:31
Speaker 1: And obviously we're going to talk about a little bit
1:33
Speaker 1: more maybe John Jones retirement, what's next for as far
1:36
Speaker 1: as potential matchups and weight classes. Who do I think
1:39
Speaker 1: the pound for pound fighter, women's and men's is. So first,
1:45
Speaker 1: let's go and get into this first main card right here,
1:48
Speaker 1: which is Peyton Talbot versus Felipe Limo right here. So
1:53
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that I really want to see right
1:57
Speaker 1: here is that Peyton Talbot he just lost. His last
1:59
Speaker 1: fight was nine to zero before this, and he lost
2:02
Speaker 1: in January. I think it was late January or early
2:06
Speaker 1: or no early February or late January, one of the two.
2:09
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing is that the last guy he fought,
2:14
Speaker 1: he exposed some of his weaknesses as far as grappling
2:18
Speaker 1: and just striking as far as like when they're both
2:21
Speaker 1: in the center as far as striking wise, and you
2:24
Speaker 1: have Felipe Lima who's on a fourteen fight unbeaten streak
2:29
Speaker 1: ever since his first fight, he hasn't lost at all,
2:32
Speaker 1: and his grappling and his takedowns are elite, elite, elite stuff.
2:38
Speaker 1: So that's the biggest disadvantage oity. See right here, I
2:41
Speaker 1: don't know if I mentioned it. This is bantamweight, so
2:43
Speaker 1: this is one of the lighter weight classes. So I
2:47
Speaker 1: just think this one right here is yes, Peyton Talbot,
2:49
Speaker 1: he's a heavy hitter and he's looking to bounce back.
2:52
Speaker 1: And I don't know exactly if if this report is true,
2:57
Speaker 1: but his training hasn't been the best or this camp
2:59
Speaker 1: hasn't been the best for him. So I think Felipe Lima,
3:03
Speaker 1: He's just has so much momentum and his ground game
3:07
Speaker 1: is just so much superior than what Peyton Talbot's striking
3:10
Speaker 1: ability is compared to Felipe Lima. So I have to
3:13
Speaker 1: give the advantage to Felipe Lima here, and I just
3:16
Speaker 1: think it just makes sense. Felipa Lima, He's gonna be
3:19
Speaker 1: smarter in this fight and he's gonna control this fight,
3:21
Speaker 1: and I think this one's gonna go all five rounds.
3:25
Speaker 1: The only chance I could see Tabot winning this fight
3:29
Speaker 1: is if he somehow catches Lima with the knockout punch,
3:33
Speaker 1: and he does have that. He is a heavy hitter,
3:37
Speaker 1: but I don't think he will be able to catch him.
3:40
Speaker 1: I really don't think so. So I think it's gonna
3:42
Speaker 1: go the distance. I think it's gonna be a decision.
3:45
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a I would if I
3:48
Speaker 1: had to predict exactly a split through the through the
3:51
Speaker 1: three rounds, I would probably say I'll probably say two
3:55
Speaker 1: to one to one. I could see Talbot winning the round,
3:59
Speaker 1: but I don't. I would think it's a significant round
4:02
Speaker 1: compared to the ones Lima will win. But let's go
4:06
Speaker 1: ahead and move on into this next one right here,
4:09
Speaker 1: which it's two old heads right here, Banil darry Us versus.
4:14
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to say his name right, Bernado Moicano.
4:18
Speaker 1: I hope I didn't butcher his name. I practiced that
4:22
Speaker 1: like ten times off air, just trying to say it right.
4:25
Speaker 1: But this is a battle between two old heads right here.
4:29
Speaker 1: Both of them are thirty six years old, both of
4:31
Speaker 1: them looking for their last real title shot. So Banil
4:34
Speaker 1: dary jusch his last opponent, it was Charles Olivera, and
4:37
Speaker 1: that was gonna put him in a prime position for
4:40
Speaker 1: that one fifty five title, potentially against Islam. But Olivera
4:45
Speaker 1: just completely dominated him. And Morgano he's looked pretty nice,
4:50
Speaker 1: he's had he beat four or he's on a four
4:53
Speaker 1: fight win streak at this moment. But do I necessarily
4:57
Speaker 1: believe in that just because the win law us ratio,
5:01
Speaker 1: as far as how it's looked lately, No, I don't
5:03
Speaker 1: think it's just that simple right there. I think, okay,
5:08
Speaker 1: let me put it like this. If Banil Daryus she wins,
5:13
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be his grappling his muay Thai
5:16
Speaker 1: and just him being a technician down the stretch. And
5:20
Speaker 1: I think this one is gonna go the distance as well.
5:22
Speaker 1: I really do think this will. But I just think
5:26
Speaker 1: this is just gonna be Bvanil Daryus just being tactical
5:30
Speaker 1: right here and just playing this one smart. But as
5:34
Speaker 1: far as Amano's side, I just think that Okay, let
5:39
Speaker 1: me let me put it like this. Both of them
5:40
Speaker 1: are really well rounded. But it's just but it's just
5:47
Speaker 1: both of them have very significant flaws in the game.
5:50
Speaker 1: But Neil Darius, the biggest thing about him as far
5:53
Speaker 1: as lately is obviously he's thirty six and has he
5:56
Speaker 1: lost his chin. That's the biggest thing in the UFC.
5:58
Speaker 1: If you lose your chin, then you could just get
6:01
Speaker 1: knocked out from not even the hardest punches. It's just
6:05
Speaker 1: it's just if they land flush, then you're pretty much out.
6:08
Speaker 1: And that's the biggest concern for Banil Dariush. Has he
6:11
Speaker 1: lost it? Has he lost it? That's the biggest thing.
6:14
Speaker 1: But as far as Morganell, he has a lot of volume,
6:18
Speaker 1: as far as he wants a lot of out volume,
6:21
Speaker 1: and he loves the scrappy fights. He wants to make
6:25
Speaker 1: this fight dirty, and I feel like he will be
6:29
Speaker 1: able to recover better between rounds and Daryush. So, man,
6:35
Speaker 1: this is tough right here. I just think that, oh man,
6:40
Speaker 1: if I had to put money on it, this is
6:42
Speaker 1: how I'm trying to think of it. If I had
6:43
Speaker 1: to actually put money on this fight, I'll have to
6:46
Speaker 1: go Banil Dariush because he is the better lightweight in
6:49
Speaker 1: my opinion, and he has faced better competition, So it's
6:54
Speaker 1: just a mirror turk I don't know how to say
6:57
Speaker 1: his name, a mirror Turkistan or however you say. And
7:00
Speaker 1: Charles Olivero was Banail Dariush's last two fights. Compared to Morrigano,
7:05
Speaker 1: he hasn't fought anybody in the top five in the
7:08
Speaker 1: lightweight division, so I think there's a big difference between
7:12
Speaker 1: who they've been fighting lately and Banil Dariush. He's been
7:15
Speaker 1: fighting the top of the top talent in the lightweight
7:18
Speaker 1: which is, in my opinion, the best division in the
7:21
Speaker 1: entire UFC, and it has been for a very long time.
7:25
Speaker 1: So I think dar Us he should be favored, and
7:27
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna win in the going the distance
7:31
Speaker 1: in this one right here. So that's two down three
7:36
Speaker 1: months ago. This one I'm really excited for. It's Brandon
7:41
Speaker 1: Rovel versus Joshua Van here. So this one right here
7:48
Speaker 1: obviously a flyweight, so the flyweight that's one of the
7:51
Speaker 1: craziest divisions. And I found this stat well looking before
7:56
Speaker 1: just researching. So Brandon Rovel he has a take down
8:00
Speaker 1: accuracy of seventy five percent. Meanwhile Joshua Van has a
8:06
Speaker 1: takedown defense of eighty one percent. Those are very high
8:10
Speaker 1: numbers in the UFC. Usually you see fifty fifty five
8:15
Speaker 1: maybe the best maybe the best takedown defense maybe Mirab
8:20
Speaker 1: or somebody along those lines, Islam, they maybe have the
8:24
Speaker 1: seventy seventy five percent, But eighty percent for Joshua Van
8:27
Speaker 1: early in his career, so Banner Ravel, he's the older
8:32
Speaker 1: guy in the UFC, so seventeen to seven versus Joshua
8:35
Speaker 1: Van fourteen to two, an up and coming fighter and
8:38
Speaker 1: on the rise, looking to make a stamp for himself
8:41
Speaker 1: in the Flyway division and eventually face somebody who we're
8:44
Speaker 1: gonna talk about a little bit later who's the co
8:46
Speaker 1: main event. So I think that's gonna be the biggest
8:49
Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna look at in this one. Who's gonna
8:53
Speaker 1: have that advantage? Is it gonna be the takedown ability
8:56
Speaker 1: of Revel or the takedown defense of Joshua Van, Because
8:59
Speaker 1: if the stays on the floor, Joshua Van, even though
9:02
Speaker 1: he has fifty four percent striking accuracy, that's that's more
9:08
Speaker 1: than enough for him because he has that power and
9:12
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna make this fight dirty right here he is,
9:15
Speaker 1: and he's a young fighter he's gonna be able to
9:16
Speaker 1: recover a lot quicker than Brandon Revel. So I just
9:21
Speaker 1: think that the takedown defense that Van has, it's gonna
9:26
Speaker 1: be great. It's gonna counter or Brandon Revel has because
9:30
Speaker 1: it's his submission a Brandon Revel, he's a submission artist.
9:34
Speaker 1: So as long as this does not go on the
9:36
Speaker 1: floor that I could easily see Joshua Van winning this one.
9:41
Speaker 1: And I just think he's just a better fighter at
9:44
Speaker 1: the moment he's entering this prime Brandon Revel he's kind
9:47
Speaker 1: of exit, not that he's out of his prime, but
9:49
Speaker 1: he's kind of going into that out of his prime state.
9:53
Speaker 1: So I think just both colliding at the same time.
9:56
Speaker 1: I just have to leave with Joshua Van right here
9:58
Speaker 1: because he he has the ability to knock out Brandon
10:04
Speaker 1: Revel's superpower, which is taking somebody to the ground, submitting
10:07
Speaker 1: them grappling, making it a scrappy fight. So if it doesn't,
10:12
Speaker 1: if it doesn't, if Brandon Ravel is able to get
10:15
Speaker 1: this to the ground, I think he'll be able to
10:18
Speaker 1: win this. So I think this is going the distance
10:22
Speaker 1: as well. I know I already picked three to go
10:24
Speaker 1: go the distance, but it's more likely to happen in
10:26
Speaker 1: the UFC. I know fans they like to see the
10:30
Speaker 1: knockout punch or they want to see these crazy fight
10:33
Speaker 1: back and forth. But I think these three that I've
10:36
Speaker 1: talked about so far, they're gonna go the distance. It's
10:39
Speaker 1: as a matter of the two above, are they gonna
10:42
Speaker 1: or the two main main events right here, are they
10:45
Speaker 1: gonna go the distance? That would be something different. I'm
10:48
Speaker 1: pretty sure people they wouldn't have a problem with the
10:51
Speaker 1: undercard main event being or going the distance. So yeah,
10:55
Speaker 1: Joshua Van he's winning this one. I think it goes
10:58
Speaker 1: the distance, and I just think he's able to stop
11:00
Speaker 1: Brandon Rovel from taking taking him down or for the
11:04
Speaker 1: most part, taking him down. So I think they win,
11:08
Speaker 1: or he wins, goes the distance, and he's gonna boost
11:11
Speaker 1: himself up because I think he's ranked twelfth at the moment.
11:15
Speaker 1: Cuz or let me go ahead and get into it.
11:17
Speaker 1: Alexander Pantosia, I feel like he's one of the most
11:20
Speaker 1: underrated champions, and I think if he wins this next fight,
11:27
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the Mighty Mouse conversation, the Demitrius
11:30
Speaker 1: Johnson conversation, and as much as it sounds crazy crazy
11:35
Speaker 1: to say, because I know Alexander Pantojia, He's not a
11:37
Speaker 1: fan favorite. He doesn't have that entertainment quality that Demitrius
11:42
Speaker 1: Johnson brought. But as far as champion wise and champion
11:46
Speaker 1: defense and knocking everybody out in the division and just
11:49
Speaker 1: having a soul grasp on the division, Alexander Pantoja can
11:52
Speaker 1: do that. But as far as what I want to
11:55
Speaker 1: say with josh Joshua Van, he would bring himself into
11:58
Speaker 1: that conversation of being potentially one of if Alexander Pantosa
12:04
Speaker 1: or kay Car France they win, being a fight or
12:07
Speaker 1: two away from getting a championship opportunity or a title fight.
12:11
Speaker 1: But yeah, perfect transition into the co main event, which
12:14
Speaker 1: is Alexander Pantosia Kai Car France right here. So as
12:19
Speaker 1: far as how Kay car France he got his opportunity
12:23
Speaker 1: for this title fight, I really don't agree with it
12:25
Speaker 1: because Steve Craig, I believe that's how you say his
12:29
Speaker 1: name him. He knocked him out in the first round. Yes,
12:33
Speaker 1: I know, Steve Craig. He gave Alexander Pantoja a run
12:37
Speaker 1: for his money in his last fight. But UFC math
12:39
Speaker 1: doesn't always go hand in hand. It doesn't always do that.
12:43
Speaker 1: And not to mention, Alexander Pantoja has beaten kay Car
12:46
Speaker 1: France before. I know it was a long time ago.
12:49
Speaker 1: I think it was like eight years ago, but he
12:50
Speaker 1: still has beaten him. And it's gotten to the point
12:54
Speaker 1: why I wanted to bring up the Dimitrius Johnson thing
12:56
Speaker 1: is because Alexander Pantosia he's beaten the top guys in
13:01
Speaker 1: his division multiple times. So Brandon Ravel he's beat him,
13:05
Speaker 1: Brandon Reno, he's beat him, Kay Car France, He's beating them.
13:09
Speaker 1: So he's beaten all of these guys multiple times. He's
13:15
Speaker 1: beaten a mirror before. So at this point, they're just
13:19
Speaker 1: trying to bring in somebody new to possibly bring a
13:23
Speaker 1: threat to Alexander Pantoja. And I think, after hearing me
13:27
Speaker 1: say this, you guys kind of know where I'm leaning
13:30
Speaker 1: towards right here. So yes, I am picking Alexander Pantoja
13:34
Speaker 1: to win this fight, but let me break this down
13:37
Speaker 1: a little bit more so, I feel like this is
13:41
Speaker 1: the clash of styles right here. Kay Car France he's
13:44
Speaker 1: a smart, technical fighter, and yes he does have that
13:46
Speaker 1: knockdown power or knockout power. But he's a textbook He's
13:51
Speaker 1: a textbook fighter. He wants to play this smart. He
13:54
Speaker 1: wants to play this smart the entire time, excellent takedown defense.
13:58
Speaker 1: And I just think that Alexander Pantojia, he just throws
14:04
Speaker 1: caution to the win. And this is Alexander Pantosia. He
14:07
Speaker 1: likes to make this fight get in the middle of
14:10
Speaker 1: the ring and we're gonna throw punches and if you
14:12
Speaker 1: happen to go to the floor. He is one of
14:14
Speaker 1: the best submission artists in the entire UFC completely and
14:20
Speaker 1: I just think that Alexander Pantoji, he's gonna try to
14:25
Speaker 1: make this fight get really ugly right here, Kay car Franz,
14:27
Speaker 1: He's gonna try to keep this between a distance, win
14:31
Speaker 1: the scorecard, and I just think that can happen versus
14:35
Speaker 1: Alexander Pantosia. I know, I know Alexander Pantosia. He is
14:39
Speaker 1: thirty five years old, and usually win fighters reached that
14:42
Speaker 1: thirty five age mark, they usually start to decline. But
14:45
Speaker 1: it's not like Kay car Franz, he's this young up
14:47
Speaker 1: and coming fighter either. He's thirty two years old. So
14:51
Speaker 1: I just think we've seen this before with Pantojia, He's
14:54
Speaker 1: been underrated plenty of times, and I just think that
14:59
Speaker 1: his reign is not over yet. I just think that
15:02
Speaker 1: nobody in the Flyway division can can go toe for
15:08
Speaker 1: toe with him, no matter what, no matter what the
15:12
Speaker 1: circumstances is. And I think this will be another fight
15:15
Speaker 1: that goes a decision, because the only way I see
15:18
Speaker 1: this being a knockout is if Alexander Pantoja knocks him
15:21
Speaker 1: out in the third round. I'll say that third round.
15:24
Speaker 1: If it goes to the fourth or fifth, I think
15:26
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be I'll say this, this is gonna
15:29
Speaker 1: be an entertaining fight. I'll say that for sure, because
15:33
Speaker 1: either way Pantojia he's gonna he's gonna get hit. Two,
15:36
Speaker 1: he definitely is gonna get hit. But it's just a
15:38
Speaker 1: matter of can kay Car France stick to his game plan.
15:42
Speaker 1: As far as just being the smart fighter, you don't
15:44
Speaker 1: want to go into Pantoja's playing style. You're favoring him completely.
15:49
Speaker 1: Just like the Brandon Moreno and the Pantosia fight, the
15:52
Speaker 1: third one, they were both striking back and forth with Pantoja.
15:56
Speaker 1: He does this. He does this in every single fight,
15:59
Speaker 1: so He's used to this, so I would be completely shocked.
16:03
Speaker 1: I think this is the one that if kay Car
16:06
Speaker 1: France wins this one, I will be completely shot shocked.
16:09
Speaker 1: This will be the most upsetting and I feel like
16:12
Speaker 1: this is the most clear cut prediction I've made, and
16:16
Speaker 1: I'm going to make throughout this entire UFC three to
16:20
Speaker 1: seventeen card. So he wins, it goes a distance. I
16:23
Speaker 1: think Pantosia he wins. For one. The only one that
16:27
Speaker 1: I see kay Car France winning is he just has
16:29
Speaker 1: ring control, gets his couple strikes in and just keeps
16:32
Speaker 1: Pantoja from a distance. But other than that, I think
16:35
Speaker 1: Pantosia is just gonna just run through kai Car France.
16:40
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and get into this main event
16:44
Speaker 1: right here, which is gonna be one of the most
16:46
Speaker 1: exciting fights. I feel like we've seen it in a while.
16:50
Speaker 1: So both these guys are obviously. Charles olivera one of
16:55
Speaker 1: the fan favorites and went on this historic run for
16:58
Speaker 1: a while. I believe it was from twenty to twenty
17:01
Speaker 1: twenty three, about a three three four year run where
17:03
Speaker 1: he was just one of the best versus Topira, so Topiro,
17:10
Speaker 1: He's a different animal. So his last two fights, he
17:14
Speaker 1: has knocked out Alexander Volkanowski, one of the greatest in
17:18
Speaker 1: his division, and Max Holloway, so those two guys have
17:24
Speaker 1: rarely been knocked out. Now he's going up against Charles
17:27
Speaker 1: Olivera thirty five again his next title shot. Did he
17:31
Speaker 1: deserve this title shot? No, but I think this is
17:33
Speaker 1: gonna be his last title shot and he was eventually
17:36
Speaker 1: gonna get one, so no better than to do it
17:38
Speaker 1: right here for the vacant belt since Islam is moving
17:41
Speaker 1: up to fight JDM. So I'm gonna get a little
17:45
Speaker 1: bit more specific into this because I know a little
17:47
Speaker 1: bit more about both of these fighters right here. So
17:51
Speaker 1: Elam Topera, he really likes to be on the front foot,
17:56
Speaker 1: and he likes to walk fighters down and eventually catch
18:01
Speaker 1: him sleeping and knock them out. He has that knockout power.
18:04
Speaker 1: And I think the biggest thing I'm really concerned with
18:07
Speaker 1: him is he's gonna be jumping up to that one
18:09
Speaker 1: to fifty five weight. There's a big difference between fighting
18:12
Speaker 1: one for five and fighting one fifty five. Not to
18:15
Speaker 1: mention that Charles Olivera is three and just tallerrant and
18:17
Speaker 1: he's been fighting at this weight for a while, so
18:20
Speaker 1: he's used to this. So it's just a matter of yes,
18:24
Speaker 1: he will have that power. But also Charles Olivera has
18:29
Speaker 1: been stunned by Justin Gaegee, by Dustlin Pourgate multiple times,
18:34
Speaker 1: multiple times Michael Chandler two, So is his power gonna
18:39
Speaker 1: translate into the one fifty five division. I'm not sure
18:42
Speaker 1: about that, but I wouldn't be surprised if his power
18:45
Speaker 1: translates into that. And I think Charles Olivera he has
18:48
Speaker 1: some strengths going into this fight. He has a really
18:51
Speaker 1: good lay kick, he has a really good calf kick
18:54
Speaker 1: and to keep Topera on on the back foot. So
19:00
Speaker 1: against against Max Hollowe and Alexander Volkanowski, they took advantage
19:05
Speaker 1: of Tolpera always being on the front foot, so they
19:08
Speaker 1: always so they always hit that front leg and that
19:11
Speaker 1: kind of slowed Topera down. Obviously he still won those fights,
19:15
Speaker 1: but it slowed him down. And I think Charles Olivera
19:18
Speaker 1: he's a much more skilled fighter than Vogue, than Max Holloway,
19:22
Speaker 1: and he's not known for a striker, even though he
19:24
Speaker 1: is a good striker. So I just think that Charles
19:29
Speaker 1: Olivera He's definitely gonna put up a better fight than
19:31
Speaker 1: what those two did. And I think that the biggest
19:37
Speaker 1: wild card in this one. I know Tolpera he has
19:39
Speaker 1: eight submissions, but after I've went back and watched all
19:42
Speaker 1: of those those guys that were stunned when they were
19:45
Speaker 1: being put into submissions, I think six out of those
19:48
Speaker 1: eight they were already stunned. So it's a matter of
19:52
Speaker 1: he used his striking ability ability to really get those submission,
19:58
Speaker 1: submission attempts or finishes, and those only two of them,
20:01
Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly what it was, So it's more
20:03
Speaker 1: a striking ability. And I know he has a BJJ
20:06
Speaker 1: brat background, but that really doesn't matter when you're going
20:09
Speaker 1: up against one of the best BJJ fighters in the
20:15
Speaker 1: world and Charles Olivera. So if Charles Olivia gets him
20:18
Speaker 1: to the ground or just even gets in a grappling
20:22
Speaker 1: match with him, then it's going to be scary for Toparo.
20:25
Speaker 1: And I think I was I was talking with somebody earlier,
20:29
Speaker 1: and I think the later this fight goes, if it
20:33
Speaker 1: gets into the third, the fourth, the fifth rounds, I
20:36
Speaker 1: feel like Tolpio he will kind of start to gas
20:39
Speaker 1: out because he's again ten pounds is a crazy jump.
20:44
Speaker 1: And not to mention the last time Torpero fought at
20:48
Speaker 1: one fifty five. Yes he did win it, but it
20:50
Speaker 1: was Jack Seller and he didn't look the best in there.
20:54
Speaker 1: He didn't look the best in that fight. And he's
20:56
Speaker 1: nowhere close to Charles Olivera. So I just think that
21:02
Speaker 1: it's just a bunch of unknowns in this. And Tapara dominated, yes,
21:06
Speaker 1: at the one forty five, but Charles Olivera has been
21:10
Speaker 1: dominated at the one fifty five for years, for years,
21:15
Speaker 1: and I feel like his game plan or honestly, if
21:21
Speaker 1: if you have ever watched a Charles Olivera fight, he
21:23
Speaker 1: throws caution to the win. He does not care if
21:25
Speaker 1: he's gonna get hit. Whis that my favorite Tolpara? Because
21:29
Speaker 1: he's gonna try to walk to Para down and that's
21:32
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting right there, Charles Olivera, He's I feel
21:35
Speaker 1: like this is gonna be the first Timel Topara is
21:37
Speaker 1: not gonna be on the front foot, and again that
21:41
Speaker 1: could kind of favor both sides right there. Charles Olivera
21:44
Speaker 1: not keeping Tapara on the front foot kind of kind
21:47
Speaker 1: of neutralizes his striking ability. As far as he's not
21:50
Speaker 1: gonna be this high volume puncher and trying to rock
21:53
Speaker 1: you to sleep. But Topera, you would like to more
21:59
Speaker 1: than one Charles Olivera in because again, if he makes
22:03
Speaker 1: one mistake, which Charles Olivera, that's been his biggest knock.
22:07
Speaker 1: As far as him as a fighter, he always gets caught.
22:11
Speaker 1: He always gets caught, no matter what it's happened. Not
22:16
Speaker 1: this last Michael Chandler fight, but in his previous Michael
22:18
Speaker 1: Chandler justin gage you. I believe he's stunned him three
22:21
Speaker 1: different times. Dustin Pourier stunned him too, Islam stunned him.
22:26
Speaker 1: So can I feel like it's not a matter of
22:30
Speaker 1: if it's if it's gonna happen. I think it's gonna happen.
22:34
Speaker 1: Can Charles Olivera stand that ko punt from Topera? And
22:39
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to be biased right now, I'm really
22:42
Speaker 1: trying not to be. But Charles Olivera, he's one of
22:45
Speaker 1: my favorite fighters besides John Jones, which I'm gonna get
22:48
Speaker 1: to in a little bit. He's I would say he's
22:51
Speaker 1: my second favorite fighter in the UFC completely after all
22:56
Speaker 1: the UFC fighters I've watched Charles oliver He's definitely my
22:59
Speaker 1: set favorite. So I'm trying not to be biased here,
23:02
Speaker 1: but like we always say, this is a bias podcast
23:05
Speaker 1: right here, So I'm gonna pick Charles Olivera. I'm gonna
23:08
Speaker 1: pick the major upset right here. So I don't know
23:11
Speaker 1: if I'm any gamblers or listened to this, but Tolpara
23:14
Speaker 1: is minus five hundred, So that means if you bet
23:19
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars and you lose, you have to pay
23:22
Speaker 1: five hundred. Meanwhile, for Charles Olivera, he's plus three fifty.
23:27
Speaker 1: If you pay one hundred dollars, you could win three
23:29
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars. So that's a crazy margin right there.
23:33
Speaker 1: I believe Tolpara should be favored, but I don't think
23:36
Speaker 1: it should be that much. I think Topara maybe plus
23:40
Speaker 1: one eighty one ninety something along those lines. I think
23:44
Speaker 1: this is a this is a substantial gap. And not
23:48
Speaker 1: to mention, I just think that Charles Olivera, he's always
23:52
Speaker 1: been dominant against against fighters who, yes they may be
23:57
Speaker 1: a little bit stronger than them, but they're shorter of them.
24:00
Speaker 1: We've seen that with Justin Gaatee. You We've seen that
24:02
Speaker 1: with Michael Chandler. So and even against armin again, I'm
24:09
Speaker 1: not gonna try to say his last name, armond T.
24:11
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just say that. Let's just keep it like that.
24:14
Speaker 1: I think Charles Olivera he did beat him in the fight.
24:17
Speaker 1: It was just from the first few rounds where Charles
24:20
Speaker 1: Olivera did kind of get beat. But I think he
24:23
Speaker 1: had the more dominant fourth and fifth round and he
24:26
Speaker 1: submitted him almost two times in that fifth round there So,
24:31
Speaker 1: and another thing I want to look for in this
24:33
Speaker 1: one Charles Olivera his last fight against Michael Chandler, he
24:38
Speaker 1: wasn't the this didn't have He didn't have the same
24:41
Speaker 1: game plan that he usually does as far as throw
24:44
Speaker 1: caution to the win. He played a lot more smart,
24:46
Speaker 1: a lot more conservative, and against Tilpera, you can only
24:51
Speaker 1: do that for so long if you that's playing in
24:54
Speaker 1: Tilparo's hands because he likes to walk fighters down. Like
24:58
Speaker 1: I mentioned, the the only way to throw Topara off
25:01
Speaker 1: his game is to do something he hasn't ever seen before,
25:05
Speaker 1: which is walk him down. So maybe that favorite Tolpera, Yes,
25:11
Speaker 1: like I said, but maybe it's just something that throws
25:13
Speaker 1: him off completely. And also another thing, this is confirmed
25:17
Speaker 1: by here, There was a rumor as far as with
25:20
Speaker 1: with the previous fight that I talked about, but as
25:23
Speaker 1: far as Topera, a month out from his fight, he
25:27
Speaker 1: switched camps, so as far as the people he's been,
25:33
Speaker 1: he's been with the previous sixteen fights, he basically got
25:37
Speaker 1: a whole new camp within a month. And that's not
25:40
Speaker 1: a good thing right there. That is really not a
25:42
Speaker 1: good thing to change your camp within a month of
25:45
Speaker 1: your fight. So I don't know exactly why that happened.
25:49
Speaker 1: Maybe it was money, maybe it was just something he
25:52
Speaker 1: wasn't liking as far as from from his camp, but again,
25:57
Speaker 1: he was sixteen to zero and the new the new
26:01
Speaker 1: staff that he's with, they really favor BJJ, So maybe
26:06
Speaker 1: he thinks he needs to work on his BJJ a
26:08
Speaker 1: lot more because he thinks Charles Olivera is gonna try
26:11
Speaker 1: to get this into the grappling into the ground, which
26:14
Speaker 1: I agree, I think that's really gonna happen, So who knows,
26:19
Speaker 1: who knows, we'll see. Maybe that does affect him comes
26:22
Speaker 1: Saturday night, but I think it will. I really do
26:27
Speaker 1: think it will. Think it will, so I have Charles
26:32
Speaker 1: Olivera win in this fight, and I think the only
26:34
Speaker 1: way he does win this fight is if this goes
26:37
Speaker 1: the distance right here into the round four, round five,
26:41
Speaker 1: if I'll put it like this, if it goes past
26:45
Speaker 1: round three, no matter the circumstance, in my opinion, unless
26:49
Speaker 1: it's just drastic, Torpero is just dominating Olivera. I think
26:53
Speaker 1: that Olivera is gonna win the fight. But if it's
26:56
Speaker 1: three rounds in and it's over, I don't even have
26:59
Speaker 1: to look at no stats, no nothing, or watch the fight.
27:02
Speaker 1: I'll know Tolpero won the fight. So that's the biggest thing.
27:05
Speaker 1: Can Charles Olivera survive the first three rounds, the first
27:09
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes because we haven't seen Tolparo really go the
27:12
Speaker 1: distance in any fight, So can he survived the first
27:17
Speaker 1: three rounds, and then it'll favor Charles Olivera because we're
27:21
Speaker 1: not worried about his conditioning. He just had a five
27:24
Speaker 1: round match versus Michael Chandler, So yeah, I have Charles Olivera.
27:30
Speaker 1: This is the major upset right here. But hey, he's
27:34
Speaker 1: one of my favorite fighters of all time and I
27:37
Speaker 1: can't go against him. So same with the Cowboys, same
27:40
Speaker 1: with the bulls, same with the Braves. I can't go
27:43
Speaker 1: against him. I can't. I don't have it in my
27:46
Speaker 1: heart to go against Charles Olivera. So as far as
27:51
Speaker 1: on a different note right here, John Jones one of
27:55
Speaker 1: the greatest fighters of all time, I think the greatest
27:58
Speaker 1: fighter of all time, which that could be debated officially retired.
28:04
Speaker 1: There was some talks about him fighting Tom Aspinall for
28:08
Speaker 1: whatever reason, it didn't get done. But I just want
28:11
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about John Jones here. So
28:14
Speaker 1: light heavyweight champion, heavyweight champion, most wins, most title defenses,
28:21
Speaker 1: longest win streak, and the light heavyweight division, youngest UFC champion.
28:26
Speaker 1: This guy is a perfect example of pure talent and
28:33
Speaker 1: it being fully fully realized. John Jones, in my opinion,
28:39
Speaker 1: is the greatest fighter I know. There's talks about Kabeb.
28:42
Speaker 1: Kabeb has fifteen total fights. John Jones has fifteen title defenses.
28:48
Speaker 1: There's levels to this. There's levels to what John Jones
28:51
Speaker 1: has done throughout his career, and I have to mention this.
28:57
Speaker 1: For him to be a troublemaker, for him to be
29:00
Speaker 1: on drugs and beat one of the best DC Daniel
29:04
Speaker 1: Kormer at the peak of his powers. Show was something
29:09
Speaker 1: or Alexander Gustafson. The first fight where he really didn't
29:13
Speaker 1: train at all, it went a five round match and
29:15
Speaker 1: he still won that. And then when he actually trained
29:17
Speaker 1: versus Gustafferson, he beat him in round two. Throughout John
29:23
Speaker 1: Jones' entire career, it wasn't until well even now, even
29:27
Speaker 1: versus his last, this last fight that he just had,
29:30
Speaker 1: he dominated almost every single round that he went against.
29:34
Speaker 1: I know that there's that big controversial fight versus Reyes,
29:38
Speaker 1: but he still won that fight in my opinion. Yes, yes,
29:42
Speaker 1: he had him maybe for a round or two, but
29:44
Speaker 1: John Jones after that he clearly started dominating those last
29:48
Speaker 1: three rounds. So I just think John Jones he is
29:52
Speaker 1: the greatest fighter of all time. And him retiring it's
29:55
Speaker 1: a sad thing to see. Yes, I would have liked
29:57
Speaker 1: to see him versus Tom aspinall. And that's other thing.
30:00
Speaker 1: John Jones is not ducking. He said clearly he wanted
30:05
Speaker 1: this to be as far as a certain time length
30:07
Speaker 1: where he had a break. I think he said about
30:09
Speaker 1: six months something like that, and he got the right
30:12
Speaker 1: paycheck for it, and obviously for him retiring, he's not
30:17
Speaker 1: getting the right paycheck. And I think the division is
30:21
Speaker 1: still going to be in good hands a heavyweight division
30:23
Speaker 1: with Tom aspinall there. But I just think it's sucks
30:27
Speaker 1: to see we're not going to see that super fight there,
30:29
Speaker 1: and I still think John Jones would have won that one.
30:32
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm being biased people they might disagree, but I
30:36
Speaker 1: don't care. John Jones throughout his entire stint when he
30:40
Speaker 1: was champion and until now, he was a pound four
30:43
Speaker 1: pound best fighter in the UFC, and there's no discussions
30:47
Speaker 1: about it. So or, you know what, let's go down
30:52
Speaker 1: the heavy hitters that John Jones he went through going
30:56
Speaker 1: into or from the start of his career. So let's
31:01
Speaker 1: just start this to start when he beat Shotgun Royal Rampage, Jackson,
31:08
Speaker 1: Leota Macchia, Rashad Evans, Victor Belford, Chanelle or Channel Son
31:13
Speaker 1: and Alexander Gustofferson Glover to Shira, Daniel Kormer, Daniel Kormier again,
31:19
Speaker 1: Alexander Gustofferson, Anthony Smith to Guyle Santos, Dominique Rays, then
31:24
Speaker 1: the big break Siro Gone and Steep Emiochich. That is
31:28
Speaker 1: pure dominance right there, And I just think that you're
31:35
Speaker 1: not going to see another guy like John Jones in
31:38
Speaker 1: the entire UFC at all. I think for him to
31:41
Speaker 1: sometimes for him to sometimes be out of shape, partying
31:48
Speaker 1: and still be able to kick anybody's ass in the UFC,
31:52
Speaker 1: You're not going to see that from anybody else. That's
31:54
Speaker 1: just a perfect combination of wrestling, striking, grappling, take down
31:59
Speaker 1: some missions. It's a perfect fighter. If you could build
32:02
Speaker 1: a perfect fighter in the lab, it's John Jones. But
32:06
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about him really quick because
32:11
Speaker 1: he's a goat. He's a goat, so he had to
32:13
Speaker 1: get his flowers before he retired. So this last thing
32:17
Speaker 1: that we're gonna bring up before we end this episode
32:21
Speaker 1: right here, is as far as potential fights that can
32:25
Speaker 1: happen down the stretch. I know there's some fights that
32:28
Speaker 1: are already set up potentially between three eighteen, three nineteen.
32:33
Speaker 1: I know Alex Pero he's fighting. I can't think of
32:37
Speaker 1: his name right now. Oh, Mohammed Anka lev Man. These
32:41
Speaker 1: are tough names to say in the UFC. But anyways,
32:44
Speaker 1: as far as we'll start in the flywight. So I
32:47
Speaker 1: think the flyweight, like I said, there's not really many
32:51
Speaker 1: contenders that Alexander Pantosia. If Kai car Franz wins this
32:55
Speaker 1: right here, then it's gonna shake up the entire division.
32:57
Speaker 1: Next thing, No, Brandon Moreno, he's gonna be back in it.
33:00
Speaker 1: Brandon Raval, He's gonna be back in it. Joshua Van
33:02
Speaker 1: who knows what happens with him. If he wins, then
33:05
Speaker 1: he could get that next title fight, whether Pantojia or
33:07
Speaker 1: whether somebody else. So we'll see about that. I think
33:11
Speaker 1: it just depends. It'll shake up the entire division if
33:16
Speaker 1: Pantojia loses, but we'll see. We'll see about that. Next
33:21
Speaker 1: is a bendam weight. So the bantamweight champion is Morab.
33:26
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say his last name, or let me
33:29
Speaker 1: see Dava Shelley. I think that's how you say his
33:31
Speaker 1: last name. He just beat Sean O'Malley for the second
33:34
Speaker 1: time in a row, and this one it looked a
33:36
Speaker 1: lot more dominant than the other fights. And Morab has
33:40
Speaker 1: could clearly walked through every single person in the bantamweight division.
33:45
Speaker 1: And I think he is the greatest bantom weight of
33:48
Speaker 1: all time. He being Sean Omalley twice, He's being Amar
33:51
Speaker 1: Normargo Medoff twice. He's beating Peter Yan twice. And I
33:54
Speaker 1: guess you could say the next guy in line is
33:57
Speaker 1: Cory Sanhagen, which, yes, he is a good fight, but
34:02
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be Morab. Morab is just gonna maul
34:06
Speaker 1: Corey Sanhagen. So I think at this point it's just
34:10
Speaker 1: pure dominance for Morab. But as far as with this
34:13
Speaker 1: entire division, there's nothing else you could really do but
34:16
Speaker 1: wait for another guy that could be a threat to Morab.
34:20
Speaker 1: And I think it's at this point where whenever Morab retires,
34:24
Speaker 1: that's when the bantamweight division is going to be alive again.
34:28
Speaker 1: Until further notice, Morab he's going to just be dominating
34:31
Speaker 1: this division, and whoever is thrown at him, whoever Dana
34:34
Speaker 1: White decides to throw at him, he's gonna dominate unless somebody,
34:38
Speaker 1: somebody decides to just pop out out of nowhere. Maybe
34:42
Speaker 1: somebody moves up from the flyweight because they can't be
34:45
Speaker 1: Alexander Pantosia. Maybe that poses a better threat, but I
34:49
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think out of all the divisions
34:54
Speaker 1: bantam weight, that one's luck as far as featherweight right here.
34:59
Speaker 1: So Iliot he was a champion, but he vacated his
35:02
Speaker 1: title to move up to the lightweight, which we'll talk
35:05
Speaker 1: about in a second. So Volk, he's he's a champion
35:07
Speaker 1: right now. He just be Diego Lopez. So does Max
35:11
Speaker 1: Holloway get another title shot right here? I know he
35:14
Speaker 1: just lost Topera. There's Yayear, there's Mozarre. I can't say
35:19
Speaker 1: his last name Ovella. So this one it's up in
35:24
Speaker 1: the air too as well. So this one, as far
35:29
Speaker 1: as what can happen in this this one, I think
35:32
Speaker 1: Voc he's gonna retire soon. I think within a fight
35:36
Speaker 1: or two, and depending on Ilia Topero, whatever happens in
35:39
Speaker 1: this next fight, if he wins at lightweight, I think
35:42
Speaker 1: he stays there if he beats Charles, But if he doesn't,
35:46
Speaker 1: then I can see him going back down to featherweight
35:48
Speaker 1: and then he'll dominate that division from therefore. But I
35:51
Speaker 1: think there could be clear I think there's clear competition
35:54
Speaker 1: to Ilia in one, just depending I feel like the
35:59
Speaker 1: featherweight it's just in a standstill waiting for it happens
36:02
Speaker 1: in the lightweight between Elli and Charles Olivera, because whatever
36:05
Speaker 1: happens from there, it trickles down the entire rankings and
36:09
Speaker 1: who's going to be next. As far as the lightweight,
36:12
Speaker 1: like I was saying, the best division in the entire UFC,
36:18
Speaker 1: obviously Islam. He was a champion, vacated his title, went
36:22
Speaker 1: up to welterweight to fight JDM because he wasn't gonna
36:25
Speaker 1: fight below. So like like we talked about Charles Olivera
36:30
Speaker 1: versus Ilio Talpera. But as far as everybody else in
36:35
Speaker 1: this division, there's Arman, there's Arman T, There's Justin Gaigie,
36:41
Speaker 1: Dustin Poer, Dustin Pourrier is about to retire. There's Dan Hooker,
36:45
Speaker 1: There's Patty Pimlet, there's Banel Darius. So there's realistically you
36:52
Speaker 1: could say one, two, three, four, five six, there's six
36:57
Speaker 1: fighters in this division who can have a real chance
37:01
Speaker 1: at a title fight, and I really think can win.
37:04
Speaker 1: So I think the biggest thing's let's play both hypotheticals here.
37:09
Speaker 1: If Ilia beats Charles Olivera, I think Islam I well. Man. See,
37:19
Speaker 1: this is tough because you have people going up in
37:21
Speaker 1: two weight divisions, So it's just a matter of it's
37:26
Speaker 1: just a matter of does Islam come back down to
37:29
Speaker 1: lightweight or does he stay at welterweight. I think let's
37:32
Speaker 1: say for this argument, he stays at welterweight because he
37:35
Speaker 1: beats JDM, which I think he will be JDM, So
37:38
Speaker 1: say Iliah he wins this, then maybe you have a
37:42
Speaker 1: fight between him Justin Gaichee Arman, and then you have
37:47
Speaker 1: as far as a comaane you could have. I think
37:49
Speaker 1: Patty Pimley he's up next. I think Patty Pimley he's
37:52
Speaker 1: one fight away from getting a title fight, whether that's
37:56
Speaker 1: him fighting Charles olivera Ilian Arman, Justin Gaichee, whether it's
38:03
Speaker 1: fighting one of those two. Who knows if Max Holloway
38:06
Speaker 1: stays at the lightweight or goes back down to featherweight.
38:10
Speaker 1: But I think Patty Pimlet he is on the rise,
38:13
Speaker 1: and I think he's one fight away from that title shot.
38:15
Speaker 1: So he's going to be coming up the ranking soon.
38:17
Speaker 1: I know he's ranked eighth right now, but he's going
38:19
Speaker 1: to be in the top five very soon. So I
38:22
Speaker 1: would like to see, no matter the outcome of Charles
38:25
Speaker 1: olivera Ilia, I would like to see Justin Gaigie versus
38:28
Speaker 1: Patty because I think this is going to be Justin
38:31
Speaker 1: Gaigie's last shot for a title run, and Patty he's
38:34
Speaker 1: on his way for a title run, so I think
38:36
Speaker 1: that too would be perfect, perfect right here. But even
38:40
Speaker 1: if you give Patty, or say, if you give Patty
38:44
Speaker 1: Arman and you let Justin Gaategee get a title shot,
38:47
Speaker 1: then then I'll take it because Arman he's kind of
38:50
Speaker 1: at a standstill. He kind of left the UFC high
38:53
Speaker 1: and dry, so I don't think he'll be the next
38:55
Speaker 1: in line to get a title shot yet. I don't
38:58
Speaker 1: know exactly what happened with Arman, but he did something
39:00
Speaker 1: to the UFC where Dana Whye, he didn't feel the
39:02
Speaker 1: best about it, so I think they're kind of punishing him,
39:05
Speaker 1: and I think he's a fight or two away from
39:08
Speaker 1: getting that actual title shot. So I see Patty in
39:12
Speaker 1: our or you know what, if I had to say,
39:14
Speaker 1: I'd say, Patty and Arman is going to be the
39:17
Speaker 1: next as far as potential title shot, and then Justin
39:20
Speaker 1: Gage's gonna get the winner of Charles Olivera and Ilio Topera.
39:24
Speaker 1: I'll say that. But all right, as far as well
39:28
Speaker 1: to waight right here, So obviously JDM and Islam they
39:32
Speaker 1: have their fight, their fight coming up. We don't know
39:34
Speaker 1: when it's scheduled. Maybe JDM he just fought not that
39:40
Speaker 1: not that long ago in March, so I think this
39:43
Speaker 1: fight could happen maybe November, December, or it just depends
39:47
Speaker 1: how how JDM is willing to bounce back. But as
39:51
Speaker 1: far as in this division right here, somebody who just
39:55
Speaker 1: came back in the rankings and is alive once again
39:58
Speaker 1: after his fight night is Kamaru. U's after he'd be
40:02
Speaker 1: uh Jaquim Buckley. So he's back in this division. He's
40:05
Speaker 1: backing up again, and maybe he gets the next between
40:09
Speaker 1: JDM and Islam. I really do think so, because it's
40:13
Speaker 1: his last shot and he does kind of favor everybody else.
40:17
Speaker 1: I know their shot cut. Leon. I really don't buy
40:19
Speaker 1: into Leon. I'm not gonna really go into that Leon.
40:22
Speaker 1: I feel like he's one of the phony is the
40:25
Speaker 1: wrong word. As far as he wasn't the best champion
40:30
Speaker 1: really and he lost to Blau. No offense to Ballaw,
40:33
Speaker 1: but he lost to him. And I think it's gonna
40:38
Speaker 1: be Kamaru he's gonna get the next fight, and then
40:40
Speaker 1: Shavcott he's gonna be right after that, because Shavcott he's
40:43
Speaker 1: just the machine. And I just think that he's gonna
40:47
Speaker 1: he's gonna have the belt eventually. Do I know when? No,
40:51
Speaker 1: But I think within these next two three years shot cut,
40:54
Speaker 1: he's definitely gonna have this belt. And as far as
40:57
Speaker 1: middleweight right here, uh directs Dupleaux or Duplow or however
41:02
Speaker 1: you say his name, He's facing Hamzad next, So this
41:07
Speaker 1: is gonna be interesting. Right here, Hamzad finally gets his
41:09
Speaker 1: title fight, and I think if Hamza he wins this,
41:14
Speaker 1: he's gonna be one of the most dominant middleweights of
41:17
Speaker 1: all time, just just thinking about it. I believe his
41:21
Speaker 1: last fight it was against Kamara Usman and he broke
41:23
Speaker 1: his hand in that one and he's still won. That
41:26
Speaker 1: just shows how dominant Hamzad is. And I think Hamzad
41:29
Speaker 1: he is gonna beat beat DDP. I really do think so.
41:33
Speaker 1: But after that Islam or not Islam, Israel Asanya, I
41:38
Speaker 1: don't really think he's gonna get a title fight again.
41:41
Speaker 1: Sean Strickland, there's a Naser day Amov if I said
41:45
Speaker 1: his name right, if I didn't butcher it, maybe he
41:48
Speaker 1: could be next. But after this fight right here in
41:52
Speaker 1: the middle way, unless they build somebody else up, I
41:55
Speaker 1: really think this one, it's not as entertaining as division.
41:58
Speaker 1: As far as lightweight, we are you know what's happening
42:00
Speaker 1: in this one. Obviously there's Khalil Rowntree. He just beat
42:05
Speaker 1: Jamal Hill, so I feel like he's gonna be next
42:07
Speaker 1: in line after Alex Pira and Muhammad Anklev between that
42:11
Speaker 1: far right there again, I don't know when that fight's
42:13
Speaker 1: gonna be, but that's gonna be interesting. So that one
42:18
Speaker 1: is kind of you already know where this is going.
42:20
Speaker 1: And as far as heavyweight, Tom Aspinall is officially the
42:23
Speaker 1: headway champion since John Jones is out, so everybody kind
42:26
Speaker 1: of moved up a slot. Does tom Aspinall go up
42:30
Speaker 1: against cirol Gon, Does he go up against Sergei Podjovich,
42:34
Speaker 1: Does he go up against Alexander Volkov? I don't know.
42:38
Speaker 1: I don't know where the next fight is for tom
42:40
Speaker 1: Aspinall because I feel like he was getting ready for
42:42
Speaker 1: this John Jones fight, but now it's just up in
42:45
Speaker 1: the air. I feel like it's gonna just be up
42:47
Speaker 1: to tom Aspinall's choosing and they're gonna build him up
42:51
Speaker 1: and eventually one of these rock star heavyweights are gonna
42:55
Speaker 1: are gonna show up but as far as Valentina chev Co,
43:01
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's let's go to the women's division right here.
43:05
Speaker 1: So let's start with that one, the women's flywaight Valentina Chevko.
43:09
Speaker 1: So does Alexa Grosso? Does she get another chance? Natalia
43:15
Speaker 1: Silva does she get does she get her chance to
43:17
Speaker 1: beat Valentina Shavko. I think nobody's gonna beat her in
43:23
Speaker 1: this division. I really don't think nobody's gonna beat her.
43:25
Speaker 1: I think the only way she gets beaten is if
43:28
Speaker 1: zangwey Lee from the strawweight goes up, goes up and
43:32
Speaker 1: wait and faces her, which I don't think that's gonna
43:35
Speaker 1: happen right there. And speaking of that division, I just
43:38
Speaker 1: think zangwey Lee and Valentina shop code. No matter who's
43:41
Speaker 1: in that division, they're gonna just rep reck shop. But
43:44
Speaker 1: the main division I want to talk about in this
43:46
Speaker 1: women's division here is the women's bantamweight with Kayla Harrison.
43:52
Speaker 1: So she just beat Julia Pina. But officially now Amanda
43:58
Speaker 1: Newness is back. And if you guys don't know who
44:01
Speaker 1: Amanda Nunas is, she is the greatest women's bantam weight
44:05
Speaker 1: of all time by far, and her last fight was
44:09
Speaker 1: against Julia Pino, where she kicked her ass completely, and
44:13
Speaker 1: now she's gonna face Kayla Harrison. I think Kayla Harrison
44:16
Speaker 1: can put up a good fight. I don't know exactly.
44:18
Speaker 1: I don't know the tail of the tape between the two,
44:20
Speaker 1: but when they did do their standoff, it did look
44:23
Speaker 1: pretty clear that Amanda Nunaz is the bigger fighter, and
44:28
Speaker 1: we'll have that advantage and the reach advantage and one
44:30
Speaker 1: of the best strikers. But Nuna's took a long time
44:34
Speaker 1: off and I don't know if she's gonna be the
44:37
Speaker 1: same fighter. Hopefully she is, but Kayla Harrison, she's in
44:41
Speaker 1: the peak of her powers. Amanda Nunas is coming back
44:44
Speaker 1: because there's a real threat, and I could honestly see
44:47
Speaker 1: this is early. This is very early. We may not
44:49
Speaker 1: get this fight for another year or so. It just
44:52
Speaker 1: depends how long Nuna's has to train for it. But
44:57
Speaker 1: I just think that Amanda Nuna's she's coming back for
45:01
Speaker 1: a reason, and she has to believe that she's not
45:04
Speaker 1: out of the peak of her powers yet. If she's
45:06
Speaker 1: coming back and facing somebody as dangerous as Kayla Harrison,
45:09
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna be excited for that one. But if
45:13
Speaker 1: the last thing that I'm gonna bring over, as far
45:15
Speaker 1: as who I think the best pound for pound fighters
45:17
Speaker 1: is in both divisions, or both women's and men's, I'll say,
45:22
Speaker 1: in my opinion, I know Islam. He's a heavy favorite
45:25
Speaker 1: right here. As far as we're a consensus, as far
45:28
Speaker 1: as the pound for pound fighter, I'll say Morob is
45:31
Speaker 1: the best pound for pound fighter in the league or
45:34
Speaker 1: in every single division, and I just think that he's
45:39
Speaker 1: just shown throughout the entire weight class is that he's
45:43
Speaker 1: the cream of the crop and he's fought everybody multiple
45:46
Speaker 1: times and is still one. But as far as the
45:49
Speaker 1: pound for pound fighter in the women's I'm gonna have
45:53
Speaker 1: to go Valentino Chevko. I'm gonna have to go with her.
45:57
Speaker 1: There's no flaws in her game at all, and I
46:00
Speaker 1: just think that zangwe Lee she is a very close second.
46:04
Speaker 1: She is a very close second. But I just don't
46:06
Speaker 1: see anybody up to Valentine and a Chevko right now
46:10
Speaker 1: being able to beat her. So that's gonna wrap up
46:15
Speaker 1: this episode right here. Again, this is something different, something
46:18
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to try for a while. And if
46:21
Speaker 1: you guys want to see more UFC content or even
46:23
Speaker 1: other sports in general, baseball, hockey, or something else along
46:26
Speaker 1: the lines. I know we're out of the hockey season,
46:28
Speaker 1: but baseball it's in the peak right now and about
46:31
Speaker 1: to reach the postseason. But if there's any other sport
46:34
Speaker 1: y'all want us to cover, not saying one hundred percent
46:37
Speaker 1: we're gonna cover that sport, but we may be interested
46:40
Speaker 1: to throw a shot at it. And I was just
46:42
Speaker 1: I was just want to throw a shot at UFC
46:44
Speaker 1: right here, again, something I haven't broken down ever done
46:48
Speaker 1: on a long, long talking format before, just talking with friends.
46:53
Speaker 1: But it was something I glad I did. And I
46:56
Speaker 1: already know my predictions are going to go five for five.
46:58
Speaker 1: I already know, so I'm I feel like I'm very
47:02
Speaker 1: accurate with my predictions. Hopefully Charles Olivera wins. But before
