00:05:27
Speaker
You listen. Here's me crack jokes about someone getting the fish and chips knocked out of them and Greenpeace soup and and all that good stuff. is go It's going to be right. that That fight right there, that is how you market a fight. That is how you fill up a soccer stadium for a non-title fight, but the legacy of their father's fighting and then it ah bo It boiled on to the egg in the face, to the steroids, blaming on the eggs. We can go on and on, but yes, I cannot wait for that fight.
00:05:54
Speaker
Shout out to Michael Dott. Where is that at? Is that in Wembley? when I think it's in... You said a soccer stadium. Yeah, I think it's either... think it starts with a T or or a Hossberg, one of those... Oh, Totten Hossberg. Yeah, I think ah it might be there. I could be wrong.
00:06:12
Speaker
You can't help us out, Michael. Where's our fight at? But... Yeah. And how many seats does that fill? Because that's what was like my question I wanted to know. How many people sit in that stadium? Michael, if you know that, help us out, please. Yeah. was going to fly out there. I was going to fly out there. But, ah you know, i i got a shoulder issue. I don't like being up in the air too long. It gives me problems. So i was going to fly over the pond. I was going to jog there, but my back hurt. But, you know saying? We got people out there that give me the inside scoop.
00:06:35
Speaker
Because it's the Oregon Trail. yeah Catch a raft. Yeah. All right, cool. Let's keep it moving.
Critique of Boxing's Structure
00:06:43
Speaker
right, boxing news. I know that you've got a lot of news, and we also got some fan mailbag questions for boxing coming up at the end of the show.
00:06:51
Speaker
But for now, what are the latest headlines in boxing? Well, one of the the let let's start let's start with a travesty. This is the reason why boxing is in the shape it's in. okay You have Dimitri Bivol and Arthur Benabev.
00:07:07
Speaker
They had two fights for undisputed light heavyweight. Back and forth. One person wins, becomes undisputed. Arthur Benabev. The next fight we got Dimitri Bivol winning. He becomes undisputed.
00:07:19
Speaker
Okay, The only natural thing is to have the third fight, have the trilogy. You owe that to both fighters. Each fighter has one more. I mean, come on. Yes, it makes no sense. Each fighter's only loss is against their opponent, which is vice versa. So why not have the trilogy for all the belts?
00:07:37
Speaker
but no but no the wbc ordered david benavidez to uh for him to fight demetri bivall from wbc w bc for it and had had to go to a purse bid and uh bivall just basically uh said no you know i'm going to rock with turkey we're going to do this do this third fight and what they do He vacated the belt, so now David Benavidez is the WBC champion, and the fight, ah the part three, the trilogy is just going to be a unification fight, which is cool, but you know it'd be better for Undisputed. That's history right there, and and also for a WBC champion.
00:08:12
Speaker
David Benavidez was Canelo's mandatory for like three years and you did nothing. Right. Why, why can't you just have him fight Liam Smith in the undercard of Benavidez versus of the ball and then have the winner fight, you know, in a, in a, in a, in the fall.
00:08:29
Speaker
Make that make sense to me. This is a travesty. um um this is This is the reason why boxing is in the shape it's in I don't understand why they pick and choose when they want to ah police the rules, but you know it is what it is.
00:08:44
Speaker
Yeah, well, I mean, and you've heard me say this plenty of times on this show before, and it's just when I hear of these different organizations requiring boxers to drop belts that ruin chances for unifications or for lineal, you know, championships, it just really pisses me off. And then when you do some stupid crap like this and you just turn around completely 180 stances, from one time to another, ruining our chances for wonderful, beautiful unification fights. I just want be like, get the fuck out of here. Why don't you get the fuck out of here? Get the fuck out of here.
00:09:27
Speaker
Please. ah Please. Just come on. What are we doing, man? Kick them right right down the street. So we got the, Michael hooked us up here. he Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London.
00:09:42
Speaker
It's where the NFL International London games are. It's a dual soccer and NFL pitch. ah like that I like pitch instead of field. That makes me pop, which changes accordingly. So there you go. Okay, so that's where, you know, and I and i like ah watching those games sometimes. You know, I got to wake up early, go to Wegmans, get my stuff, say hello to all the the moms up in there, then, and you know, get ready for football Saturday mornings.
00:10:04
Speaker
um And I always give those fans a pass because, you know, NFL doesn't come as much. And if you're a Chicago Bears fan, if you go to the game and it's Jacksville Jaguars against ah the Lions, I let it slide you wearing that jersey, even your team ain't got nothing to do with well who's playing.
Humorous NFL Fandom and Fight Previews
00:10:17
Speaker
But you know what I'm saying? hey they They want to rock their jerseys. they don't I mean, they don't know any better. Yeah, hey I love it. they yeah I'm all for it. You do that here in America, and the commanders are playing Dallas, and you're a Chargers fan, why are you there? Why are you wearing that gear?
00:10:31
Speaker
Okay? If you don't want to do go go go go lick li a cold bowl. Okay? Go do that. Okay? Be one of those kids. We make fun of you. We make yeah like fun of you. like what do you Why are you here? I hate when i see that.
00:10:44
Speaker
Because you're making it all about you. Okay? That's like going to amusement park. If I'm going to Kings Dominion, I'm not wearing a six-flag shirt. Why? what if would For what reason? To say, look at me, I rode the Big Bad Wolf at a Busch Gardens and I'm at Kings Dominion riding the Rubble Yell? No. Right. No. No, get out of here.
00:11:03
Speaker
That's great. um Yeah, no, I agree. I actually think that is the Jacksonville Jaguar Stadium that they usually play at when they go. i think that's like the one they – Our residence, they have a residency at NAP by now. Yeah, I mean, he owns it, so I do the same thing.
00:11:19
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. Might as well. All right, cool. That makes complete sense, yeah. All right, cool. what ah what is that What else is up on the boxing docket today? Well, before we get to Boots and His Fight, you know, we was was nervous about Keyshawn Davis fighting Edwin Dos Santos.
00:11:34
Speaker
um That fight was off, and it's on, and it's off. Now, I guess it's official. It's going be Keyshawn Davis' first tower defense going against a heavy hitter. I mean, DeSantis hasn't fought since he went against Shakur Stevenson, think about two years ago. But, ah you know, he's a feared man at 135, and the fact that Keyshawn picked him, he could have went the easy route like Teofimo Lopez in his tower defense fighting Steve Claggett, who had like...
00:11:55
Speaker
eight losses or seven losses still gave him fits you know kishan's fighting a heavy hitter uh with his first tower defense in norfolk june 7th and i'm going to try my best to go to that fight i know wu-tang is going be in baltimore with their final tour on the fifth i believe and that fight's on the seventh that saturday i'm gonna try to i'm gonna try to finagle i'm try to do this and go to both but i do not want to miss that fight i was actually uh chatting with uh uh Heavy on a poppy, light on a yayo, poppy chun yayo early on Instagram. And was basically saying them tickets going to be crazy, which I'm sure they will be. So I might enact my security rule and just bring a security jack and a security shirt and act like I work there.
00:12:36
Speaker
I wouldn't do that. I'm tall enough. I'm big enough. I might do that. I'm like, oh, late, you know. Walk right in. I've been looking into possibly acquiring ah media passes that may be able to get us into different places. Yeah.
00:12:55
Speaker
yeah or is not
00:12:58
Speaker
All right, cool. Well, that obviously that's going to be amazing because he's fighting in Norfolk, and we know that obviously Norfolk is his hometown, so him being there at the at the at the scope, as they call it in the 757, that would be – who is he fighting, you said?
00:13:17
Speaker
Edwin Dos Santos. but that's right what is just on the hell hit Oh, that's to be a good one. He can crack. Keyshawn, I believe he hurt his hand or wrist that fight. he He had track shoes on the whole time fighting them Not Keyshawn, I'm sorry. ah ah Shakur Stevenson when he fought him. That was last his last fight. He had them track shoes on. well Speaking of Shakur Stevenson, you mentioned just a couple minutes ago you wanted to talk about it.
00:13:44
Speaker
Jerron Boots Ennis is fighting, right? And I'm not even going to try the other guy's name. I'll let you go ahead and try that. Stay on us.
00:13:55
Speaker
i'm not go i'm not goingnna I'm not going to say his first name. think it's Emilius, Emilius, Emilius Stay on us. I don't know. you I have a no clue. yeah I feel bad for him because he was supposed to fight Virgil Ortiz for about ah thousand times. That fight was on and off for at least four to five times.
00:14:10
Speaker
um Then the last time Virgil Ortiz, you know, ah got sick, then he probably moved up to 154. But, um you know, Sam, he's the he's yeah got upgrades to the WBA ah champion, um you know, and the Boots is the IBF champion. He's got two title defenses ah in Philly.
00:14:25
Speaker
um They were lackluster. I did not know that the IBF – they have that weight limit thing where you can't be over 10 pounds.
00:14:36
Speaker
So I wonder if that kind of messed them up a little bit for those two fights. But now this is a unified fight um to where Stalens' WBA belts are on the line. up wait That weight, that 10-pound overdose is is null void uh and also they're fighting for the ring magazine which we all know is turkey isla chic so this is a big time unification championship bout the other the other fighters in that division you got mario barrios who fought on the mike tyson uh jay paul car which was a tough fight i forgot the dude he fought but that was a tough fight he uh escaped scraped by with that one um the real fight i really want to see is brian norman jr um
00:15:10
Speaker
oh who has the WBO belt, he fought recently on a McKay Mayer undercard and knocked his opponent out. Him and Boots were going to fight, then that went off, hopefully that fight comes back, but the W, I'm sorry, though the 147 welterweight has some heavy hitters in there, some serious competition for boots. And if he gets past the owners, you know, sky's the limit. He can ah become unified again and then go undisputed. either I hope he goes Barrios next if he gets past the owners, which I'll give my ah prediction pretty soon.
00:15:41
Speaker
But, ah you know, this is going to be a banger on the zone. Y'all better tune in if you're not watching UFC. If you're not watching UFC, watch boxing. If you're not but watching boxing, watch UFC. If you're not watching either or, go to sleep.
00:15:55
Speaker
yeah And you're off and maria Mario Barrios just gives me the chance to play my Mario. Stop it.
00:16:06
Speaker
Oh, man. um man I just like playing around with sounds. All right, cool. So there you go. he will give his preview soon on that. When is that fight? What is the date on the fight?
00:16:21
Speaker
Saturday. Okay, so are you going to give me a prediction now, or you going to a short on it? I can do it now. I was going to let it... You know I'll do it now. You know what? You can let it breathe. I'm not going to let it breathe. I'm about to do some... Clubs, bangers. Is there no Blistex? What is it?
00:16:39
Speaker
Banaca. What's the banaca on this? Banaca? Yeah. That's the mouth pressure. I'm tripping. Back to ah the program. The banger win. Clubs, bangers.
00:16:51
Speaker
Uh-huh. So you know what? We got Boots fighting back in the boardwalk in ah Atlantic City. You know i'm saying? He puts on a show when he goes there. Seven round knockout.
00:17:04
Speaker
He's going to put on. kind He's going to do the slow motion stuff. He's going back to his technical Roy Jones Jr. ah style. He is going to knock Steyonis out in the seventh round.
00:17:14
Speaker
Okay. No caveat. As there should not be. i don't even i mean i I've heard of the other guy before, but I have not seen him fight very many times. So I assume. Pretty good.
00:17:29
Speaker
He's got a lot on his mind because his goal is to finish the fight, catch a plane, go back home, and I believe his wife, they're expecting. So he plans on being back for the birth of his child.
00:17:44
Speaker
Well, congratulations, sir. guess this fight don't really matter at all anyways in the grand scheme of things. Yeah, the grand scheme of things, yeah. He might go back a light. without a belt. You might go back without a belt to show. It'll be a little cheaper.
00:18:02
Speaker
alright hey One bag instead of two. Dale, we see you, Snail. We see you tuning in it on the Instagram. people can comment Okay, Snaily. but He didn't put a comment. I just see i just see i can see who's watching from the internet.
00:18:16
Speaker
I hope you're feeling better, brother. Good good to see you on here. All right, cool. Usually, we would we would ask this at the end in the fail mailbag, but being the astute journalist that we are, I'm going to ask this question now to you.
00:18:28
Speaker
What is, since you mentioned how many great fighters there are in the 154 division, what is next? What? For, you know, Boots, shall he win this fight as you predicted? Well, he's 147, 147. Would say should... he i mean, if he wins...
00:18:49
Speaker
he should just fight other champions he should fight barrios he should get it on with brian brian norman's the money fight i think that's the big fight at 147. uh they were chirping back and forth that fight was going to happen um but it fell through um that to me for me as as a fan that's the one i want to say i want to see brian normal jr fight jerron boots and it's 147 for the belts i would hope brian norman since he just won by knockout i don't know the next time mario baros is fighting um if I was Brian Norman, I'd try to negotiate Barrios, do a unification bout, and that way we can have undisputed and just do it that way.
00:19:25
Speaker
um But, you know, as the way boxing goes, it's probably going to be Barrios is going to fight a Johnny down the street and Brian Norman will fight Frank from down the street. And, you know, we'll have to wait to get these good fights for them to, you know, finally ah come together. But, you know. That's what I'm waiting for. For that 147 to kind of figure out who's the top dog. cause we got We're about to find out out of these two, ah the top four, who's the best. and There's like two other knockoffs for Boots Ennis.
00:19:51
Speaker
That brand new fight is going to um hard to call because he's good. you know he he He knocked the race off your face. He's one of those Yeah, here it says even six days ago on on Reddit, Brian Norman Jr., like you just said, wanted to face Mario Barrio plus the winner of this fight as well. so All right.
00:20:12
Speaker
Well, there you go. All right, cool. So that is anything else on the boxing front? ah I'm still waiting on, ah they ordered Zepeda versus Sikor, but doesn't like that fight's going happen. So i don't know why Zepeda's, you know, I think he's running. here He don't want to be part of Sikor Stevenson.
00:20:31
Speaker
People talk trash about Sikor Stevenson saying he's weak, he's this, he's that, he's whatever. But my thing is just beat him, knock him out. If he's that trash, knock him out. That's why say all the Latte fans say, oh, he doesn't need to fight him. Why not? Just whoop his ass. I mean, it's this's boxing.
00:20:46
Speaker
this Right. This is boxing. Just yeah fuck fight each other. Just fight him. You know, if he's that bad, just fight him. Everybody tune in. Let's get a like. this Let's get a like party. yeah The likes are free. Let's get it let's get a like, please. I appreciate y'all. You know, we see y'all out there supporting the show.

UFC 314 Overview and Listener Interaction
00:21:21
Speaker
moving. Let's go on into what you came for, UFC 314 predictions. Yes.
00:21:28
Speaker
Here we go. So UFC 314 will be coming to us from the Kisaya Center in Miami. And it is going to be a new featherweight champion crowned. Yes, the former featherweight champion, Ilya Taporia, back in February, announced that he would vacate his title to move up a weight class to lightweight.
00:21:55
Speaker
So now we get the main event of Alexander Volkanovsky versus Diego Lopez. If you watch This show, you know how much we at this program love some Alexander Volkanovsky because of the great fighter that he is. We will also have the co-main event, Michael Chandler versus Patty Pimblett. So if you remember from also watching this show, Cumber D has talked a lot about Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor and that fight that fell through.
00:22:26
Speaker
Well, now that we haven't seen Conor McGregor for or heard from him for a while either, Now it's going to be Michael Chandler versus Patty Pimlet, who at one point in time was the up-and-comer that a lot of people a few years ago wanted to, when he was ah undefeated at least, equate to a Conor-type rise, which was obviously false in all accounts.
00:22:46
Speaker
Then we have in our another card here, or another fight here, Yair Rodriguez, the number five featherweight, will fight the debut of Patricio Pitbull. Yeah, that's going to be super exciting.
00:23:00
Speaker
And then we have a couple more bouts that Clubber D will give you his quick hitter club bangers for. So that being said, ah first of all, what are your overall thoughts on this fight? And then we'll actually get right into those quick hitters.
00:23:14
Speaker
ah this This event and and as a whole is about time. UC has... you see has has has put on a good card. okay This is this from the prelims. You got bangers in the prelims. You got more than one good fight in the main car in the main card.
00:23:30
Speaker
Even the prelims, when all the people people barely showed up yet, you know what i'm saying those fights are pretty good. so I'm very excited that UFC has put on this this type of card.
00:23:41
Speaker
They were trending downwards to me. You're charging $79, $80 for all you non-thieves out here who actually fight. You're charging all this money for them watch this stuff. You've got ah ah Jim Bob McCormick fighting ah ah Tommy Biggit. Who's that? um and like What's going on here? but Now you've got some fighters that people know and they're to put on a show. so I'm very very excited for this card. you know what i'm saying i'm um um all Clubber's all in!

Let's go ahead and get your quick hitters here for a couple of fights that you mentioned you wanted to talk about in the prelim and then a couple of fights there in the main card that we're not going to discuss at length. So I know you wanted to talk the Ige Woodson fight. Were there any others in the prelims specifically or early prelims that you wanted to hit on?
00:26:00
Speaker
I do want to... Okay, so I think Ige versus Woodson, that's probably going the fight to tune into. That's the main event for the prelims. Definitely tune in to that fight. Also, the fight before, Jim Miller versus Austin Hooper.
00:26:12
Speaker
Okay. I got a little math thing, so I'm gonna say i'm actually going to save that fight until... hamcar After the main event, just for this math equation come to full dont fruition. it's little little you know yeah i used my brain, you know what I'm saying? I was i like i was on the toilet talking to one of y'all's moms, and we were texting back and forth and talking how to distill water being to be ready for my CPAP machine after I come over to house. But then I was like, oh, let me do this this math equation, you know what I'm saying?
00:26:40
Speaker
And I had no paper, so I used all my head, and I used my fingers and whatnot in toes, and I'm missing poor toes. That's another story. Let's get this rock and roll. What story are we going with first? Well, a couple more comments here. Rock Shock. Thank you also for tuning in. Look at that. We got it. We got the whole crew tuning in. And then our boy T-Roy. Hey.
00:26:59
Speaker
Kangaroo Jack. Hey, I'm telling you. yeah you T-Roy's cooking. He is cooking on some bourbon. So it's going to be hush, hush right now. he You got some stuff cooking. Just just wait. Oh, I liked If you are a bourbon lover, we're going to have a channel for you okay?

Fight Analysis and Predictions
00:27:20
Speaker
Yeah, there you There you go. Okay, cool. All right. Well, let's go ahead. Let me get this ah this ready there. Okay, cool. We are ready for some quick hitters then.
00:27:29
Speaker
So let's go ahead and do you want to do the Ige fight first, the Ige-Woodson fight quick hitter first? Oh, yeah. ah For this fight, I'm going to... This one's tough because both of them are – Woodson has like – he looks – if you look at Woodson and you look at – if you Google Tayshaun Prince, that might be his little brother, okay? It's a weird – he got a big old head. likes to do. He's got a big old head. He's big body and long – like there's no – and he's only like 145 pounds. it's Look at him and look at Tayshaun Prince. That's all I got to say.
00:27:57
Speaker
But I'm going with him because he love he's a linear player. I'm going with Woodson on that one. Team Lightskin. My bad. Team Lightskin. Yeah, Team Lightskin. All right, that's fine. All right, cool.
00:28:10
Speaker
Next up, after that in the main event, we've got Nikita Krylov, the number eight light heavyweight, versus Dominic Reyes, the number 11 heavyweight. The favorite here is Krylov from Russia at a 180 favorite here versus the Dominic Reyes, who's a 150 underdog in the betting. All right.
00:28:32
Speaker
I want to say Nikita, but Dominic Reyes is starting to put on a little win streak. He's gotten better. You know, he's had a tragic loss after loss. evers Everybody who loses a close fight to Jon Jones always goes downhill.
00:28:48
Speaker
But he's finally getting back above that, climbing up that hill. He's getting to where he needs to be. And the potential of him being an ex-football player, MMA fighter, his athleticism what got him to where he is in the UFC.
00:29:01
Speaker
I'm going with... a banger I'm going with Dominic Reyes. All right. You name this decision, Reyes is going to eat this one out. Oh, shoot. Comeback story.
00:29:15
Speaker
ah I'm right now. Okay, good. Yeah, because got to remember to do the... I want to do the... little picture thing with the pics. All right, cool. So everybody knows the club bangers. All right, awesome. Good pick there then. right, let's move it on to the next fight that you want to talk about.
00:29:31
Speaker
Bryce Mitchell, the number 13 featherweight versus John Silva. John Silva is a heavy favorite here at 278. ah Is that who you have in this fight? Well,
00:29:44
Speaker
Bryce Mitchell ah got a lot of steam recently a couple weeks ago for praising somebody that ran and started, it I believe it was a World War II.
00:29:56
Speaker
Oh. Yes. A dictator in Europe. Yes. Yeah. Praising people from that side. people started not liking him. He got canceled. the day And Dana White called him a dumbass and his other stuff. And he apologized like they always do.
00:30:08
Speaker
than our number He's a very religious guy. He's very, very, very church. Very church, you know. But, uh... He also thinks the Earth is flat. I'm not here to argue that the Earth is or isn't flat. That's not my... I'm not Neil Tyson DeGrasse. I'm not to argue with you here.
00:30:23
Speaker
You can do that somewhere else. So, oh, look at this. Rock Shark. Yeah, you're right. oh But... But he thinks
00:30:35
Speaker
it's it's I mean, he's guy. When he thinks the earth is flat is great. And Silva at the press conference threw a globe at him, which was hilarious. I think Silva is going to knock him out in the second round. I think going to whoop his ass. I think ah Bryce has a lot on his mind because he knows the second they – I don't know. It's in Florida, so maybe not. But the second they heat they show his face, it's boo! They're going to get on They're going to get on him. I'm telling you right now, they're going to get on him.
00:31:05
Speaker
He might get a pass to Florida. I don't know if the president's going to be there because the president does like to show up ah down there as well. He might get a pass, but at that I think Bryce can get that ass whooped. He's got it coming. He already was knocked out a year a couple years ago where would ah when Emmitt knocked his ass out.
00:31:22
Speaker
Bryce is a good fighter. He's the first one to get the camo joints, you know saying? But, ah yeah, i just think i think I think his mind is... He got a lot of flat for what he said, and you know um it's still kind of fresh a lot of people's minds. So I think Bryce can get out of here.
00:31:39
Speaker
And right rightfully so. He deserves whatever he got. You do not praise people that commit genocide on millions of people just because you don't like their race or religion and then think that you're not going to be called out for it when you praise said person.
00:31:54
Speaker
And I'm laughing while you were talking because I'm looking at his picture and I'm thinking, yeah, that's about what I would would expect. And then I see this and it made me laugh even more. Oh, yeah.
00:32:07
Speaker
Yeah, well, I can see that from the big dude. Country artists all like, dinner's coming. Like that type. though Someone just banged the little triangle. That's the type of country he is. You know I'm saying? he He's one of those don't try this don't try that in a small town type of country people.
00:32:24
Speaker
Oh, yeah. We're very religious, too. Shout out to him. ah So, actually, Rock Chalk's son trained with Bryce in Kansas City. With Krause. With James Krause? Okay. That's what's up.
00:32:36
Speaker
said Bryce is going to pull out the twister. one hundred well we'll see he he might do a twist when he falls through a ma
00:32:40
Speaker
100. We'll see. He might do a twister when he falls to the mat. By the way, what was your ah pick for the actual second round knockout? Second round. Second round KO.
00:32:51
Speaker
All right, cool. Moving on to the... and The Coco Maine, which is very important here because this is a debut of a fighter we have talked about for a long, long time on this show. He has been a favorite here.
00:33:09
Speaker
ah Patricio Pitbull. It is going to be former Bellator, PFL champion, his debut versus, and obviously these him being a striker beyond most compare, versus Yair Rodriguez, who's one of the best kickers.
00:33:27
Speaker
So, Clubber D, tell us about this awesome fight we're going to see. Well, Yair Rodriguez, I mean, this man is like... He will kick an apple off the top your head with his toenail. You know what I'm saying? He's that good with his legs.
00:33:44
Speaker
But easy he's very kick-heavy the way he fights. ah Patricia Pitbull, one thing stands out about this fight. ah Yair Rodriguez, he's been UFC for so long. you know he's he's He's got his chops. you know He's kind of so on two-fight losing streak. He's never really...
00:34:00
Speaker
performed in the big fight. You know what saying? He he kind of reminds me of a um Like a Brian Ortega. That guy that's always there. When he gets there, it just... It never...
00:34:12
Speaker
never crosses over. He's always that close. um i don't know if it's the limelight or what, but you know he's he got a big jump in Star remember he ah beat snot out of BJ Penn back then. but um you know He is, what, 32 years old.
00:34:25
Speaker
Patrici Pitbull, I'm a big fan of him you know His fights with Chandler, AJ McKee, Strauss, ah um Pat Curran, and and and um back in the ah in Bellator days and then with the PFL or whatever the hell they, when they merged, but he's finally crossed over to the UFC and he's 37 years old.
00:34:43
Speaker
Okay. Like Ben Ashkin, when they traded Demetri, Demetri, uh, Johnson for him for one, for one fight championship, these guys coming over late. It's like the, the UFC jitter. Some, some people get that.
00:34:55
Speaker
And, um, I don't know Pitbull's going to get them, but this guy's an ex-lightweight and featherweight dual champion of Belvoir. He's done everything outside of UFC, and for him finally getting into UFC, his style, going to have to get in close because he's going to scrap.
00:35:09
Speaker
He needs to utilize his ah quickness to get in close so Yadier cannot kick him, cannot knock his block off, all right? And man does this is one of the... I'm at the caveat on this one.
00:35:22
Speaker
I'm at the caveat on this one. If... Pitbull does not take him out by the second round, Rodriguez will win by decision.
00:35:36
Speaker
that that's that's that's damn ah This one's like one of my 50-50 fights. This one was tough for me to ah to judge. I couldn't go either way because I can see Pitbull knocking him out in the first, and I can see him gassing Rodriguez kicking his block off in the third round.
00:35:50
Speaker
I doubt he'll go to the decision, but oh I'm leaning – If it ends early, it will be Pitbull that knocks him out. So KO one or two for Pitbull, and if it goes three to five, if it goes over three. It's only three. Oh, goes that's why you said three.
00:36:08
Speaker
If it only goes three, it's it's it's it's Rodriguez. yeah Unanimous decision? Yeah. Unanimous decision unless he knocks him the third. That's what I'm going with.
00:36:20
Speaker
Or KO three. alright All right. Cool. All right. And, yeah, I was keeping up with your comments there, Rockchuck, until you did. Where's the comment at? I can't even see you got to.
00:36:34
Speaker
He said, oh, there it is. moved ahead. Yes, you did. Yes, thank you. you did You moved ahead to the next fight. We weren't ready there yet. We weren't ready for Patty yet. we're We're about to go there right now, though, so we got you. He says, I want to. Let's do like check. If you haven't liked already, anybody, if just hop in for two seconds, like real quick, hop out.
00:36:51
Speaker
Hop in. Hop out. Hop in like, hop out. If you want to spy, because I got like 16 spies, you know saying You know, some of these dudes ah are mad because they found my, it's like where I wear night glasses, you know, to go sleep to block the sun out there. I left those over some of their wives' houses. But if you, you know, it yells me, do something about it, you know, but just come in, spy on me, pick the light button, get up out of there. You know I'm saying? Just put that out there.
00:37:13
Speaker
Ah, yeah. No, no doubt. Please. Again, it is free to y'all, and it is invaluable to us. If you hit that like button, it does help help us out in the algorithm for other people to find us. So appreciate everybody in the comments there. Tim Elliott checking in. Bianca Rock Chalk, everybody.
00:37:28
Speaker
Appreciate y'all checking in. All right, now we're going to move into the co-main event. Yes, who y'all were just talking about, the ones that y'all want to talk about, Mr. Patty.
00:37:40
Speaker
Pimblett versus Michael. Patty the baddie, as they call him. I shouldn't call another man the baddie, but whatever. My way bout, Patty is number 12. Michael Chandler is ranked number 7. Patty is the favorite here.
00:37:55
Speaker
oh um Just barely, 148. as the favorite, but Michael Chandler is a tough underdog at 124. The records here, Michael Chandler is 23-9 coming off a loss.
00:38:09
Speaker
Pimblett, Patty, 22-3 coming a win. coming off a win Patty Pimbley has a 2-inch height advantage, a 2-pound weight advantage, a 1.5-inch reach advantage, and a 2.75-inch leg reach advantage. So across the board, Patty is um heavier and more lengthier than Michael Chandler, but that does not always mean anything in UFC. So, Clever D, tell us what you have on this fight.
00:38:38
Speaker
Yeah, this one ah this is one of those things. So you got understand. Chandler hasn't fought. He fought ah Charles Oliveira back in, what, November, I believe, and he put on a good fight, but Michael Chandler is a ball of muscle, okay?
00:38:51
Speaker
He gasses very early. If he does not get you out of there in the first, maybe second, that's a wrap. You know, he's he's gassed out. oh What's wild about Chandler, he gets these high-profile fights, and he's only...
00:39:04
Speaker
uh two and six in the ufc okay since he got there he knocked out hooker when he got up in there and then his last knockout was that highlight knockout of tony ferguson when he kicked him in the in the face and he looked like ah one of those oh that's yeah yeah yeah like ba like that knocked him clean out all the way up into his into his jawbone like i've never i've never seen somebody get deep throated by a big toe like i just like yeah he just went straight down like man what happened And he's short too. like How do you kick him like that? that is That's crazy.
00:39:34
Speaker
But yeah, but you know what, with him, he is he's going to put on a show. You know what I'm saying? e I like Chandler, you know, and and let's talk about Pimble. No, first thing, first thing with Chandler, I'm put out.
00:39:48
Speaker
He's 38 years old. All right. Okay. He is. Pretty soon. The theme of the match, should have said it earlier because Patricia Pitbull, he's 37. We got 37. Now we got 38. We're hinting at a 30-year-old.
00:40:05
Speaker
hinting I'm hinting at... A fan mailbag question. No, no, no. no Somebody sit your old ass down. okay You get to that age, when you sit you need to sit your old ass down. right they they're They're there.
00:40:20
Speaker
Now, thirty seven thirty eight year old no ah what what what Patty, this is his first like big, big fight. ah Bobby Green, we all know King Green is. that is the he He's he's ah out there with a holly, hops on the fence, hops off the fence.
00:40:37
Speaker
Bobby Green, he's on the fence. He's painting that fence with Tom Sawyer. He's a gatekeeper. He stays right there. He's going to come to the house. He's going to meet you at that house. He's projecting the yard.
00:40:49
Speaker
And Huck Finn painting that damn gate, that fence. What are you doing? You know I'm saying? Kevin Holland's like that, too. But, you know, shout out to both them. But it is what it is. Now, Chandler, what I was thinking, he might be the high-level, exciting gatekeeper.
00:41:09
Speaker
Okay? Because you know, whoever they give to Chandler, is they're going to put on a fight. They're going to go through a war. So, with that being said... Clubs, bangers. I thought that was going on again i was I was about to... Clubs, bangers. Clubs, bangers.
00:41:24
Speaker
I got Patty with a third round submission. Woo! Third round submission. He's a bodyer. but Patty with the third round.
00:41:36
Speaker
He's going to do like he's gonna do like i do with some of y'all's moms and blow his wad early. Chandler's going to be gassed by the second round and Patty's going submit him in the third.
00:41:47
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? What kind of submission in the third? Rock Chalk agrees with you. I will take Patty. All right, rear naked choke. Oh, we got the other T-Roy up in here. Okay.
00:41:58
Speaker
Just talking about my man, Reuben. Rear naked choke in the third. Cool, cool. All right. What else we got here? Let's see. Who else we got? ah He says, i hope you're going to talk about where Tony Ferguson just signed.
00:42:13
Speaker
Oh, the GFL. They canceled their first show. They canceled that show. so like i'm I'm still waiting till they have a... They had a show and a lot of UFC fighters signed with them, but they just canceled that show. So I'm waiting until something concrete happens with that organization.
00:42:30
Speaker
um But yeah, I'm tracking. Him, Uriah Faber, Shogun Hua. um i think key mo King Mo's coming out of about retirement. There's lot of ex-UFC fighters for some of this smaller organization. I think one of those where like 50% of the proceeds go to the fighters. And it's it's it's a pretty cool concept, but it's just they haven't put on anything yet. So still kind of, you know, waiting ah for that stuff to actually have a have a show and move forward with.
00:42:57
Speaker
right, cool. ah Yeah, shout out, Luis, my cousin. Shout out, Primo. Got to have you in here. Blessings to you and the fam as well. T-Roy. Is he down in Puerto Rico? ah Yes, he lives in Puerto Rico.
00:43:09
Speaker
Yeah, Wepa, Luis. And T-Roy showing up into his. He says, yo what's up? Yo, what's up, brother? And let's see, Rock Chalk. I love the the guys I personally know, Sean O'Malley and Sean Strickland. You know both of them. Oh, really? That's awesome.
00:43:25
Speaker
Well, there you go. What's up? Cool. right, do you have a cover caveat for this, or is it strictly a rear naked choke or submission in the third for pack? you want to hedge your bets, Chandler, just like the first fight, um I give people more of a chance. but Chandler can knock him out if he catches him in the first round. That can't happen. that's not you know That's not something that's out of the realm of impossibility.
00:43:48
Speaker
um That can't happen. i don't I mean, Patty can get him, but I think if Patty was smart, let him blow his wad, pause, and then, ah you know, out in the third. All right, cool. PFL in Wichita. on on my Oh, I'm not going to give that out. On 418.
00:44:03

00:46:41
Speaker
all For the ah vacated featherweight title that Ilya Teporia vacated back in February, we have... Alexander the Great Volkanovsky, who is this fight is close, Clubber D, in the odds here. we have We have ah Alexander Volkanovsky is a 122 favorite, and his opponent, Diego Lopez, is a 102 underdog.
00:47:07
Speaker
Pretty much almost even money. So this is as close as you can get. ah Alexander Volkanovsky, 26-4. Diego Lopez, 26-6. So pretty good experience UFC experience there.
00:47:21
Speaker
ah Diego Lopez coming off a win. Alexander Volkanovsky, as we know, coming off a loss to Amahachev. Lopez, 5-inch height advantage and a two and a half pound weight advantage, as well as a five inch leg reach advantage.
00:47:38
Speaker
These are massive advantages, even more massive than we saw in the last fight. But as we know, Alexander Volkanovski was at one point, go and still may be considered, but it is still considered one of the goats in UFC that you cannot count him out.
00:47:55
Speaker
Cleber what you got on this fight. He's, he's, by the way, I put him over, uh, Max Holloway. Okay. as as does the And I love Max Holloway, too.
00:48:06
Speaker
I love with those. There you go. he he's the other way he's He's defended it. I don't know if he's defended the most, but him and Max are probably tied or probably close. I'm sure who has the most towel defenses, but um at age 36,
00:48:19
Speaker
age 36. We haven't seen Volk in 14 months, just about. ah Last time we saw him, Ilio built the ass. He knocked him out, I believe.
00:48:29
Speaker
Got a KO. Last time we saw him before that, Islam knocked him out. Okay. um a Volk is is interesting story. This man used to be a rugby player. This man used to weigh 300 pounds, okay, and you know fights up with 145. This guy, iss he's he's a great guy. He's all-around good guy. I love love watching stuff on YouTube. I love watching... um him trying to become a chef. He always likes to cook stuff all the time and and ah talk about the Outback and all that good stuff in the and the land down under. um Diego Lopez, the Brazilian, fighting out of Mexico. He's a beast. When he fought Brian Ortega in the spear, he put belt to ass as well. He's very aggressive. He's on a five-fight winning streak.
00:49:12
Speaker
um This kid is hungry at age 30. He is ready to go. As much as, you know, you look at Volkanovski, you know, he's had – he's done basically everything in the sport to get that recognition as, as going down as one the best.
00:49:25
Speaker
Um, uh, and you know, he had a long streak of being undefeated in the UFC until, you know, he got, he, um, decided to be great and fight Islam, move up. um You know, as much as a good fighter Volk is, he will get knocked out in the third round by Diego Lovink. I had to go fast with it. I wanted to bring him up and bring him right on down, okay? When he wakes up, he's going to see them Joey's running a around when they didn't go chase him.
00:49:52
Speaker
He's going to get taken down. I'm sorry, Volk. I'm a big fan yours, but dang it, you got knocked out the last time. Why? Why? yeah la Belt to ass.
00:50:02
Speaker
I can feel it. I know Ozzy. Look, respect. okay I'm a big fan of him. Damn it, man. Why are you doing this to Volk? Why are you doing this to Volk? and I'm not even going to do no caveat on this one. I'm not sorry. I'm not going to caveat.
00:50:16
Speaker
you know One of the greatest fighters of all time? You're not going to give him a caveat? I'll give him a caveat. I might four rounds and he'll still lose. um But I just feel that you know watching watch him win now. You know what My caveat is he's going to win by decision. If it goes to if it goes five rounds, Volkernowski will win by decision.
00:50:34
Speaker
That's my caveat. All right, there you But if it stops any time we're looking for five rounds, it's going to knockout by Diego Lopez. Bam, there you go. oh But, yeah, so I'll put it like this. I'm a fan, but – Did y'all not see the last two times he fought?
00:50:48
Speaker
Okay. But he fought, it but I mean, he fought really good fighters. No, he fought chumps. Diego's good. I mean, when you're he's 36 years old, you cannot keep, you cannot get whooped like that back to back to back times, man. That stuff takes years off your life.
00:51:00
Speaker
i mean, you hit him so bad, a hairline popped back because he was bald. It just booped like that. look at that. You know what saying? I think he trimmed it up. But he, I'm telling you, you cannot be getting whooped like that. I'm a big fan, but it's like when fighters get to a certain age, like like like I remember Chuck Liddell, Rich Franklin knocked him out with his backhand or something like that.
00:51:17
Speaker
He didn't punch him hard. He knocked him out. When your chin goes, it goes. You know what saying? Ask y'all's mother because that's another story. But yeah, you know ah ah you know, it's one of those things. I'm a big fan of him, but in reality, you know, i just Diego is hungry. Did y'all see that Ortega fight? He tripped him and kept him, man.
00:51:37
Speaker
Diego is a killer, and that's not the fight that Volkanovski needs. I mean, yes, he looked good at going against Yadier Rodriguez, um but Yadier kind of folds in the limelight in those main events at times against certain fighters.
00:51:48
Speaker
um I'm a big fan of Volkanovski. If he pulls it out, you know, hey, props to him. I'll go... ah I'll go make a... No, I'm not going to say it. I'll put it like this. if if If he wins, I'll be very happy, but he'll win by decision if he does win. I don't see him taking Lopez out early at any time.
00:52:05
Speaker
um That's if he can withstand the punishment that Lopez is going to put on him. um So, yeah, I'm going Lopez in this one. It's going be, what, I say, third or fourth round knockout, one to two. ah Lopez can get him up out here.
00:52:16
Speaker
If he goes the distance... I got Volkanovski winning because Volkanovski can use his veteran ability to to eke out a close round, if like in a fifth room and fourth or fifth round if his the fight's pretty close. I know his wrestling. He took Islam down, who's at that Dagestani wrestling, so I'm pretty sure Volkanovski could be able to take down ah Diego Lopez if needed to score more points and eke a round out. So I'll give him that, but you know if it stays on his feet and and it in lands, if it ends less than five rounds, it's going Lopez knocking him out.
00:52:49
Speaker
and And we must admit, yes, as you as you said, right, it's there are there are levels to this. And when you read reach certain ages, father time, especially in in combat sports, it just it catches up to you. And Volkanovski has been around for 14 years, and sometimes your time just runs out. Now, thankfully, he's at least getting this last chance ah to where he's been able to work on himself, he says, mentally, physically, um all the dings he's been working on himself before this fight. In the lead up to the fight, he told ESPN.
00:53:26
Speaker
So he says that he can still keep up with the new school fighters and we will see if that comes true. That being said, I have a professor stat for you right here.
00:53:36
Speaker
As Clubber D has been hinting to you all the whole entire time, if you have not caught the threads going through the episode, there's a bunch of older fighters in on this card. and And we've got to think about, and we have a fan mailbag question on this, but we've got to think about when fighters get to a certain age, as Clubber D said, they hit a wall.
00:53:58
Speaker
The stat is, fighters 35 years and older and 17. are o and seventeen At fights, 155 pounds less. So 155 pounds lighter 35 years older, they don't have win at ever. Mm-hmm.
00:54:13
Speaker
at thirty five years older there they're not they don't have a win at all um Because it's like it's like heavyweight. Like I did the short on George Foreman. Somebody left the sport at age 28, comes back at 38.
00:54:26
Speaker
Okay, cool. But he doesn't get he doesn' become world champion until 45. forty five Okay? So heavier weight, different story. Lighter weight, it's hard to keep up with these fast guys. You know what i mean? And...
00:54:38
Speaker
You got your anomalies and I'm going to touch on them here in a second and this in this fight, but you got your anomalies. But when you look at the records, you're like, okay, that makes sense. You know what I'm saying? They're just glorified gatekeepers.
00:54:50
Speaker
Because my dog is going crazy over there. Sorry about that. Okay. No, you're good. Let's catch up on some comments here. ah My cousin Luis says Volkanovski for the win, but probably is going to be by decision. No way. ah There you go. That's what Clubber D said. It would be by decision if it happened.
00:55:05
Speaker
What else do we have here? I saw some. I got Rock Chalk. I'll take Volk. ah He gets his but belt back one last time. He's going to storm back one.
00:55:17
Speaker
ah Ah, he said. So, everybody is not agreeing with taking Volker. But, again, let's see. What else we got here? Got that one. Just want make sure I get everybody.
00:55:30
Speaker
Rock Chalk talked about the weigh-ins this morning. ah Said he was eyeing those down. Let's see what else we got. Max got my Gaethje. He says no one can beat Islam right now, in my opinion.
00:55:45
Speaker
what do you What do you think, D, on that? and love what you ah ah I don't think so. I won't do five. I, I cannot wait for that. i It's a poor fight.
00:55:56
Speaker
That's going to be, you know what saying? That is eyes glued to the TV. If anyone could do it, possibly Ilya put to poor, could do it. Um, uh, he's done things. I just haven't seen before.
00:56:07
Speaker
You know, he, like, I never seen someone beat max Holloway like that and Volkanovsky the same way, you know? um That would only one i think. If he moves up to 170, that's a different story.
00:56:19
Speaker
Okay. So that's your answer to who ah beats Islam is possibly Teporia and then depending if he were to move up more. Iceman, yes. see what else we got. Okay.
00:56:30
Speaker
Yep. What happened to John Jones? He must be father of time. Well, I mean, when you fight once every five years and pick and choose fighters you know you can beat, I mean, that's pretty much what happens. You know what I'm saying? Dana White don't really he don't really enforce these you-gotta-fight or will strip you of the belt type stuff to Jon Jones. He just gets to fight you know somebody who hasn't won in like four years at heavyweight, which is just ridiculous. Why i was he in the cage?
00:56:56
Speaker
Nobody wanted to see that fight. You know, Cyril gone, another one, get to the limelight, scared, let Jon Jones take him down, it was over with. So... Yeah, I'm not going to tell you. I'm in a good mood.
00:57:09
Speaker
and And I guess my follow-up ah question would be, are there any further rumors or innuendo to a possible fight against Tom Aspinall at any point in time?
00:57:20
Speaker
I mean, yeah, Aspinall held up the duck, little little doll at the last UFC event. So, I mean, if... if if you Dana White was true to his word, strip John Jones of the belt and let's just move on. I mean, if he's not going to fight him, he's retired. I mean, yeah, he has nothing to accomplish, to be honest with you. So let's just move on with the division. You know, same thing with Canelo Alvarez in his stand-again.
00:57:41
Speaker
If you don't want to fight somebody, strip him of the belt and just move on. Just don't hold up the belt. So, you know, but in politics. There you go. I did not anticipate the chat popping with Zodiac. Ain't that right, Amu? I know, right?
00:57:53
Speaker
Amu also says, we'll credit. Let's see what we got here. We'll credit Omar and Dion for upping my fight knowledge, though. Hey, there you go. That's what I'm talking about. Bianca backs him up. Same.

00:58:34
Speaker
Who we got here? One more. Tom will beat him big time, Rock Chalk says. Amul asked, honest question, if you're a fighter who only fights every year five years, chooses their fights, are selective, are they still considered a legit fighter or someone who's just doing it for money, like a Conor McGregor, I guess?
00:58:53
Speaker
Yeah, Conor, I mean, once Conor got paid for the Mayweather, once you got paid for that Mayweather fight, like, what's the point of even putting your body through that anymore? You know what I'm saying? You just lose the drive. It was a little different from boxing. Like, you know, once they get these, they we get as paydays like boxers do. So when you paydays, kind of just so like, you know,
00:59:13
Speaker
Conor McGregor, anyone who had common sense knew that that fight was just a myth. Floyd was going to beat the shit out of him. We knew Floyd just wanted to get to that 50 wins.
00:59:24
Speaker
um But i just never understood so many people And they were with Conor McGregor thinking he can actually beat Floyd Mayweather. Like, i that's when I knew society of combat sports viewers were just clues. That's when I knew m MMA fighters just didn't know.
00:59:38
Speaker
Like, I'm a boxing guy. I love boxing. I got know i was boxing first, so then into MMA, you know, and I love both. I love, you know, boxing little more because I grew up watching it. But, you know, now you have this generation of people who just started with m MMA and don't really rock with boxing.
00:59:53
Speaker
And whenever you hear somebody saying, oh, yeah, this MMA fighter can do that out to this boxer, shut the hell up. That was like when I heard people were arguing, literally arguing. I never forget on Facebook. people It was over a hundred comment thread of people arguing that Ronda Rousey can beat up Floyd Mayweather. People were actually saying this. I said, man, what? wrong with What is going on?
01:00:14
Speaker
So, yeah, that's where we are. ah Yeah, that's that that stretch completely that's completely ridiculous. Get the hell out of here. um All right, cool. Well, then, that is we have one more fight left that you wanted to touch on, and that was the early prelim between ah but Jim Miller and ah for all another guy Austin Austin Hooper looks like ah Michael Cera with ah um ah what's his name from Superbad?
01:00:47
Speaker
ki Oh, man. Jonah Hill's curly hair, Michael Cera's body. That's what he looks like. That's great. So we got Austin Hooper, 25 years old.
01:00:59
Speaker
He just beat Clay Guida, who was 43 years old, okay? Retired him. He's fighting Jim Miller, who 41 years old, okay? Okay. okay Now, I looked at these ages of these four individuals that I i named earlier that we talked about. okay Jim Miller, 41.
01:01:20
Speaker
Patricia Pimple, 37. Where's my other guy at? ah Michael Chandler, 38. Woganowski, 36. You add that together, that's 52. Divide that by four, that's 38.
01:01:34
Speaker
That's how many wins Jim Miller has, and that's how many wins Clay Greta had when Austin Hooper fought him last. And that's the last time you'll see him what a win, because he's going to be 38 and 19. He's going to have his loss, because Austin Miller's going whip his ass.
01:01:47
Speaker
and thing I'm bringing up is the average 38, meaning that when you sit the old asses down, the new kids are taking over. All right? That's my math thing I had that thought I'd get you to pop with. That is awesome. As a math lover, that that totally popped. And the only way you could, that totally made me pop. And the only way that could have been better is if you would have ended it with, and his record being 38 and 19. No, you had a, is it? It was 152, 152.
01:02:14
Speaker
152. Yeah, divided by four. Yeah, you're fine. yeah No, the only thing you could have done better is said... Calm down. it shit And 19 is half of 38. If you would ended it like that, that have been a mic.
01:02:25
Speaker
Well, I just thought about 19, his losses. i Yes, he's 38 and 19. I like it. I like it. That was... Hey! Clever D trying covered de coming through with some some awesome math to ah to inspire us on the... You know I love math. You're always going to give me one math.
01:02:40
Speaker
ah Conor was running his mouth today like he's going to take on the winner of Patty versus Chandler. Clever D, what do you say to that? I was looking down. I said, Conor's running his mouth today. no. Conor's not going to fight no more.
01:02:52
Speaker
He's not fighting. So Conor's never going to ever fight again. He's going to fight again. will never. He will not... This man was in the White House talking about ah running for Ireland president or whatever like that. He's not fighting is the last thing on his mind, okay? We all know he's, ah they they say he's on recreational drugs. He's always ah tweaking and whatnot.
01:03:11
Speaker
You know, i he talks a lot. I mean, he says he's going fight Chandler for a year and a half. and he's Connor has no interest of fighting. i don't I'll be shocked if he fights again. I'll be really shocked. There's no reason for him to fight anymore.
01:03:25
Speaker
and that's and yeah and that's and And that's the thing is is he talks a big game, but he hasn't fought in, what, four years now?
01:03:36
Speaker
Yeah. Since broke his ankle? He's part owner of a BKFC, and he's always jumping there. Jeremy Stevens and him were going back and forth about ah fighting, you know, because Jeremy Stevens had knocked out – Eddie Alvarez in Philly for BKFC. BKFC put on some good fights. me I checked him out on The Zone. Austin Trout.
01:03:53
Speaker
Austin, no doubt, Trout. he's He's the champion over there. He's one of the champions. He knocked out ah his opponent in Dubai ah recently. um So he's too busy over to BKFC. um If he does come back, can see him doing BKFC.
01:04:07
Speaker
That's about it. I don't see i don't see him doing m MMA because he wants to stand up. He loves he loves that BKFC
Nostalgia and New UFC Talent Challenges
01:04:12
Speaker
stuff. so i Since he's part owner, You know, who wouldn't want, who wouldn't, I'll watch him fight BKFC, you watch him but bear do bare knuckles. So I can see him doing that before he does MMA.
01:04:23
Speaker
Okay, well, there you All right. Bianca says, i am now sort of new into UFC and boxing, been a WWF fan, WWE fans. Remember, you're talking to two right here. Yeah, we've always been fans of of wrestling as well.
01:04:36
Speaker
ah She says, WCW too. Yes. Yeah, I mean, I was WCW. Like, I didn't really watch. but I watched WWF, you know, but I was more WCW than WU. When I started, was nothing better. You know, add to area.
01:04:49
Speaker
When WWF tried it, had to use, you know, Girls showing boobs to get ratings. It was like, okay, cool, but storylines were terrible, you know I'm And then right I jumped out. of I tried to hop back in. One time I saw Brock Lesnar fighting somebody with one leg. I said, man, what is this? I turned it on. said, man, get this. It was some Jack Downs. Some dude with one leg. I man, get this so Why is this on TV? Get this out of here. I didn't watch this person.
01:05:11
Speaker
yeah Bianca, did you really? Did you try? Did Did you try out for WWE? We need to hear this story if that's true. We need to hear this story. That's great. ah What else? You would wait to wait at the video storage.
01:05:25
Speaker
ah Okay, i see what happened. Yeah, you know what? That's funny because yeah i didn't hear the one either. I just assume you said one because I know 152.
01:05:35
Speaker
okay Okay, I just assumed you had because I know 152 divided by 4 is 38, but i did I didn't hear the word. said 152. Okay, all right, cool. Oh, man, that's funny. Hey, brother, we good.
01:05:46
Speaker
yeah had Straight, straight, straight action. Patty said, Conor better get a fight. Yeah, it's not happening. Goldberg, yeah. Everybody loved Goldberg way back in the day. I hated Goldberg. just know that's what Conor needed to do. also goldberg Goldberg was, oh, you want a little Stone Cold Steve action?
01:06:11
Speaker
stone
01:06:15
Speaker
That's right. Stone Cold, thank you. All right, cool. And Bret the Hitman Hart, always the best. Number one technician. That's right. The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
01:06:28
Speaker
Now, I had to save one comment, or actually two comments. One comes from Instagram. Giantsgirl72 says, Tauruses are stubborn. So she's talking to you and clearly a fan yours on Instagram. yeah Okay, good.
01:06:41
Speaker
Save that. Tauruses are very stubborn. Tauruses are stubborn. but they're loyal and good lovers. If you don't believe me, ask some y'all's moms. Okay. When you wake up, there's a, there's a, there's a gallon of distilled water on the, on the nightstand next to her.
01:06:57
Speaker
That's not because she's thirsty at night. Okay. That's because was over there with my CPAP machine. All right. So shut it up. Hey, Hey, there's your answer to that one. Um,
01:07:09
Speaker
Okay, so one more comment here that I i had to save for last because I know this is going to get you and and Rock Chalk into a little bit of a kerfuffle here. um But he said Amanda Nunez would have given Mayweather a run for his money.
01:07:26
Speaker
No. No. gonna No.
01:07:33
Speaker
Have you seen her swing? No. Negative. I mean, are we talking MMA? Because at least that be a chance. If talking boxing, then no, not at all. It don't matter. It don't matter. It don't matter.
01:07:45
Speaker
Oh, God. All right, cool. It's like saying, okay, Amanda Nunez, I'd rather see – okay. If Nunez fought Clarissa Shields, Clarissa would – take it to school in boxing.
01:08:02
Speaker
If she did MMA, she'd take her down, obviously, and and and tap her out. But if they did MMA, she wouldn't stand up with her. Ain't no way. Ain't no way. Right. No way.
01:08:13
Speaker
All right, cool. Came down under OPW. What's OPW? Is that Ohio ohio Pro Wrestling? Sounds like something like that. That's OPW. Oh, that's OVW. Damn it. Yeah, I'm tripping. Thank you. right, cool. All right, let's move it on into the fan mailbag. Yes, we've got some questions from you fans out there and from the professor himself. First question and last question will come from me. The first question relates to the theme you've been putting on the whole episode, Cliberty.
01:08:40
Speaker
You've been talking about how all there's all these old stars fighting on this card and The problem is that when old stars age out, if there are no young stars to replace them, your sport goes stale.
01:08:55
Speaker
Does UFC have a future stars problem? That comes from me. Big time. Big time. ah They need to fix it soon. um ah they were It was UFC Mexico, and I saw the NXT champion young lady from Mexico, Valkyar.
01:09:17
Speaker
Oh, back hurt, yeah. Yeah, back hurt. So she there, front row, and they showed her, crowd popped up. Tiffany. So what they need to do, yeah, she called me last week, I was busy. um But um what they need to do is ah start showing these younger fighters.
01:09:32
Speaker
don't know if they it during fight week because, you know, you're training, you're cutting. don't think they can do all that stuff. But they're going to have to show WWE fans their fighters. They're going to have to kind of – oh, this goes this guy's front row. Oh, that guy's front row. will show his Put his name and put his record because they're gonna have to cross that over with these younger fighters because the contender series is cool, but it's not as big as it should be to where people are ready for these young stars to take over.
01:10:02
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? we got We got some young stars on boxing that that that people are tuning into, but the UFC needs to do the the same thing and promote these young guys. so um you know When the Volkanovskis, when the Jon Joneses, when all of them are gone,
01:10:15
Speaker
you know what I'm saying, these guys can take over because right now,
01:10:20
Speaker
who's in what Besides like a champion, who else are people lining up to see or want another fighter to fight? There's not really that much. there's no one They're all overseas products. There's no homegrown ah a fighter from America i don't haven't seen. or um I might be missing somebody that people are really... Let me use a DMV word, SICE, to see. No one's excited to see right now. um Patty, you you take them over to to ah London or or or Europe. They're... there selling out you know saying you uh you get uh a heavyweight champion who's john jones isn't scared to fight i forgot his name slipped my mind they're lining up to see him leon edwards uh uh sold out a place where where he was recently over there so they support over there but over here in america there's no real young ice mans or or uh or titos or or things of that nature right now
01:11:16
Speaker
Okay. All right. Oceania Pro Wrestling. Oh, that's right. i forgot y'all are in Australia. That's right. Oh, Oceania Pro Wrestling. That's what you do. Don't you ever. bad day That dude was garbage. that oh Terrible.
01:11:28
Speaker
Man, he was trash. Seven feet for nothing. ah Oh, Big Pitiful. Big Pitiful is what we call him. All right. Cool. So, all right. So, basically,
01:11:40
Speaker
UFC is in a position now where they need to go the route of, and this I think is very possible because in lieu of what you mentioned, WWE, wwe right? And what we've been talking about, WWE has their performance, you know, performance center.
01:11:57
Speaker
where they have all these ah young athletes that they're recruiting, 18, 19, 20, in college, you know, Gable Stevenson, all these athletes that they're recruiting at a young age and because possibly they see what's happening in UFC and in boxing and other things. so So do you believe the...
01:12:15
Speaker
the conglomeration of the TKO, Endeavor, Turkey, Allis League, all of this, ten do you think that UFC will now start to, and maybe even boxing, well, boxing is good because you get the Olympics, so you get the younger fighters, but UFC especially, do you think they'll start to go that route of trying to recruit people out of college and things like that?
01:12:36
Speaker
They're going to do something. um I don't know be the recruiting because there's so many, like I was at a Muay Thai show recently. theres There's so many regional ah fights and, you know, fights that take place where there's up and coming people.
01:12:51
Speaker
It's really just the marketing. The people are always going to be there. It's all about the marketing of those people. How are you going to do that? but One of the reasons why UFC kicked off was because the Ultimate Fighter show. That's the reason why we are here today because people tuned in for that finale. like The actual show itself is actually pretty good. you know I love watching it with Forrest Griffin and and Josh Koscheck and all those guys.
01:13:11
Speaker
That was a good show. Diego Sanchez. You know, so everybody's tuned into that show. That's how they develop some of these guys moving forward. Second season, you have Rashad Evans win, you know. So you'll see their open fire show is not as big as it used to be.
01:13:28
Speaker
um I know this year I forgot who's going to be on it. I forgot who the coach is. No, it's Stunnen versus Daniel Cormier. I think they're the coaches. But that was their way of kind of showing you fighters and and you get to get to see their backstory and then become a big fan of them and see how their their career progresses. Because, you know, Forrest Griffin became a champion, you know, from that show.
01:13:49
Speaker
You even had the one with Matt Serra. They did one for a Second Chance guys. Matt Serra wins. He won the show. and They got a title shot against... ah George St. Pierre and and ah and knocked him out. So, you know, that was like the height of of why the UFC got so big. But now they're going to have retool some stuff and kind of find a ah way to get these, ah get ah light on these younger guys so they can promote ah their product because, you know,
01:14:14
Speaker
no one Like I said, no one's talking about these younger fighters. i ah Like Austin Hooper, you know he's's good he's 25 years from the Contender Series. ah They have a Mexican fighter who followed the Mexican card. ah a lot His name slipped my mind. got a big old nose and a big old chin.
01:14:27
Speaker
He always says that Chewiewe stuff. They've got a couple of fighters, but like i said, they've got no American homegrown fighters. People are lining up to see. hurt my back in 1987, so I don't fight no more.
01:14:38
Speaker
nineteen eighty seven so i don't really ah fighting them more oh And Rock Chalk said, well, Rock Chalk said he just dumped out your distilled water. You ain't talking to his mama.
01:14:49
Speaker
Hey, look here. Look here, son. yeah Relax, all right? I know down in Tornado Alley. All right? So let's just chill out, okay? to the store and give me some more. It's only 99 cents.
01:15:00
Speaker
I don't want none that i don't want to know that none of that food line distilled water. I want dill park ah yeah Deer Park distilled water. Now that cheap stuff. um My CPAP machine be clogging up sometimes. Y'all put that cheap stuff in there.
01:15:11
Speaker
No, I mean, you and my dad do the same thing. That's funny. I don't even care. I'm like, whatever, put tap water in there, bitch. Oh, no. All right, moving on. Next fan mail question. This comes from the Tasmanian Devil out of Sydney, Australia. Shout out to all of our Australians in the female.
01:15:30
Speaker
I thought so. I thought you were too. I apologize. We both apologize. I thought you were. female i thought I wasn't sure, but I mean, I did i did watch the True Crime podcast and only heard two girls' voices, so I just assumed. i didn't know.
01:15:45
Speaker
Although it was just like, whatever. At least we can all laugh about this. We can all laugh together for a while, I guess. Pour my water out and see what happens. Body slams are well equality. Body slams, God dang it.
01:15:56
Speaker
yeah Oh, God. That's great. Okay. So coming from the Tasmanian Devil out of Sydney, Australia, what is next for Tim Zhu? Oh, Tim Zhu. So, you know, he had a good fight against – but Joey Spencer. I don't know what Spencer was was thinking, trying to, that that style of fight and just getting his ass whooped.
01:16:15
Speaker
You know, we looked over to his corner. They called out. It was bad. ah One thing Tim Zhu should do is ah find a way to have a lesser walk to the ring because he was walking through a back alley, went outside, went inside, went around the bend.
01:16:28
Speaker
used the bathroom, came out the bathroom, walked around the track, then came through the arena ah to that fight. They need to fix that, first of all. yeah that That walkway was was crazy, but it looked like WrestleMania when they had a little card springing up.
01:16:39
Speaker
Remember they had a little ring springing up to the ring back in the with WrestleMania 4 or 5? It was when the Clots Connection broke up, when Andre Giant kicked Haku out of the little thing and he brought it by. Oh, yeah, the little thing. It was a long-ass walkway. don't know if it was in Detroit or what,
Boxing Highlights and Female Fighters' Impact
01:16:56
Speaker
but... ah but got it Tim Zhu, he's bringing a life back to the 154 division.
01:17:03
Speaker
They have a lot of that. I said it earlier, but that division has some great fighters, champions, and people that i want to be champions. so He can run it back. The original fight would would ah keep thurmon Keith Thurman. Keith Thurman can fight ah Earl Spence. If Earl Spence wants to fight again, um he could say, you know Virgil Ortiz, I want to fight you.
01:17:19
Speaker
He could run it back with Fondor, depending what he does. If he's doing title defense against... ah Puerto Rican Zander Zayas, it depends where he wants to go. Wherever he goes, it's going to be good because this is the fight he needed to get back into the winning column and do it in convincing a fashion. He did that back home. The crowd loves him. That's why that's what I mean about these fighters from from other countries. There are people support them, unlike here in America. I ain't seen no sellouts like that in a while. So Tim Zhu, the way he came out with ah Land Down Under song, as if people don't know he's not from Australia, whatever. But, hey, you know, it works for him.
01:17:53
Speaker
And they they they had his back, and was a great ah great win for him. So I think I would love to see him versus Virgil Ortiz. That's the fight I would love to see. Ooh, nice. That was supposed to be on the car, but that was supposed to happen a while ago. But, you know, things happen.
01:18:08
Speaker
But, ah yeah, Virgil Ortiz versus Tim Zou would be great. There you go. All right, cool. That would be an awesome fight. We'll see and look forward to if that actually happens and if, ah you know, Tim Zhu gets that fight.
01:18:21
Speaker
From the old, this a good is this a good username. They must like you a lot, Climby. They must listen. Old Dusty Bastard from the Brooklyn Zoo. Damn.
01:18:32
Speaker
Who will be the first champion out of these two? Abdul Mason or Bruce Shushu Carrington? Whew. Jesus. oh man
01:18:48
Speaker
that's like a flip coin i think politics might keep adula mesa for being champion or fighting for a belt at 138 because okay tank won't fight him uh
01:19:06
Speaker
I don't... Keyshawn's already, you know... Keyshawn wants to unify. core i don't see Shakur fighting him just yet. Who knows what they're going to do with Lomachenko's belt. And this is why I know what the hell's going on with boxing. This guy, if he has a back injury, then that's bad.
01:19:20
Speaker
That's so bad. Take that belt from him. Take it from him and let the people fight. Who's ever wanted to let them fight for that belt if Lomachenko is that hurt. Put him in recess and he'll get the winner if he comes back. But um I think Shuchu will be... will get At least get a tower shot before... a Adula Mason, I'm a big fan of both of them. Man, golly, they're two good fighters.
01:19:40
Speaker
Remind me of me back in the when used to play Punch-Out on Nintendo. I used to be, you know, I found Flamingo, you know, knocked the the flower out of the rose out of his mouth. Well, you know, another story. ah yes I love how we were talking about that on Venture Box. Shout out to Skywalker Box, Media, Papa Junio, Country Box and all them But, yeah, that was a great stream.
01:20:01
Speaker
And we were talking about ah the the dusty guy with the the and the leggings on. That was great. Oh, man. Anyways, okay. ah So, yeah, no, I agree. They are both really good young fighters. Now that I've been in, shout out to Champ Ross, ah who does our Boxing Predictions League. But now that I actually am doing the Boxing Predictions League, I find myself watching every single boxing match that comes on the TV.
01:20:29
Speaker
So I see all these you know fighters I probably would have never seen before, and and I've been able to see those two this year. And they are... they're They are good. So let's turn into some comments here. um Biggest UFC fight I know is Rock Chalk.
01:20:42
Speaker
ah She says, going to make sure she says, you guys are great. Thank you. Yes, we appreciate you. oh There you go. They are. Rock Chuck says, that's it. Clever taking damn Daniel Cormier's job. That's right. Yes. He needs go ahead and cut that hair out. That little wannabe hairline he got. He just shaved it off, Daniel Cormier. Just shaved that off. I mean, golly. I know you're – look, respect.
01:21:09
Speaker
Shave the head, bro. And Jesus, lay off the hamburgers. You're like 5'8". How are you 400 pounds, man? Come on, brother. Every time he gets around like Islam and rest of the diet standing guys, first thing he do is talk about his weight.
01:21:20
Speaker
And I know jami Daniel Cormier is one of those weird fighters, has a weird belt. He really, in all honesty, should have fought at 185, but he fought at 205 in heavyweight. But, you know.
01:21:33
Speaker
Okay, first of all, first of all, Don't get knocked out. He don't knock nobody. I'm a legit 6'2".
01:21:43
Speaker
He is like 5'. i live I live in a two-way state. Run upon me if you want to. sick Second of all, we're trying to we we're trying to get you on the same show as him. Will you stop burning future bridges by calling forage or power?
01:21:59
Speaker
It's funny. He's not watching at all. He's not watching at all. Did you if you not you meant didn't even know we did you watch Tom McDonald video can't cancel all of us?
01:22:12
Speaker
He put UFC greats in there. I don't know what that means. and I'm not tracking. not tracking Tom McDonald. Is there Tom McDonald? i don't A fighter did a video, maybe? Okay. All right. So let us know. Let us put a little more information on that.
01:22:27
Speaker
Please, man. All right. Let's see. Any other comments on here? Y'all are going crazy in the comments. We'll take it off. I got to get my hair shaved tomorrow, so I look like Carl Winslow. got to keep this hat on. It's bad.
01:22:40
Speaker
Jesus. one One last fan, Malbag question from me, because i actually got to get out of here and go meet a little honey dip here in a second. it's ah it's a It's a song. It's super cool. You guys would like it. Wax that?
01:22:53
Speaker
Is it called? Oh, Tom McDonald is a rap. Oh, is that the? Wait a second. Is that the one that did the music videos with Roseanne Barr? Tell me that's the one with the dreads and all the tattoos on his face. that did the the rap song with Roseanne Barr. Someone let me know if that's true. you One of those MAGA rappers, I'll pass. I'm all right. i think I think that's exactly i' what that is. I think i think so.
01:23:19
Speaker
I'm all right. We'll pass on that one. Oh, what do they just say yes. They confirmed that is who exactly right we were talking about. I've heard him rap. I've heard him rap. he's He's not a bad rapper per se, I guess. He's not a great lyricist either.
01:23:34
Speaker
ah But, yeah, I mean, hey, it is what it is. I mean, if you like that content, you like that content. i I mean, I'm indifferent to it. Upchurch is another one. Wait, he's Canadian?
01:23:47
Speaker
and didn't know he was Canadian. thought he was. Okay. I did not know that. Well, there you go. Learn something new every day. All right, cool. We're moving into the last mailbag question of the day coming from me, and we'll get you all out of here. make sure you all are subscribed to Ball and Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S as well.

Hit that like button. It helps us out in the algorithm, and it is free to you. Amanda Serrano versus Katie Taylor had the press conference. Excuse me. I need some water.
01:24:17
Speaker
And there was a bunch of craziness going on. I got to drink some water. Tell us what happened, Clever D. Yeah. So Ronald came out with little headgear on and then ducked low. Kind basically talk about how Kate Taylor was a Vander Holyfield slash Tim Bradley hurting her to death. The first fight, second fight, I mean, headbutting the hell out of And then the second was when they...
01:24:39
Speaker
Sorry about that. I was reading something. The second was when they talked about doing three-minute rounds as opposed to these two-minute rounds. I was actually shocked at Katie Taylor because Serrano was like, hey, you shook on You agreed to it, but you didn't put that in the fight. Katie Taylor was like, look,
01:24:56
Speaker
Oh, what? Katie Taylor was like, look, I'm the one giving you a payday. I beat you twice. So you don't dictate what goes on. So I was like, okay, look at Katie Taylor barking back at her, which, you know, people might say, she looked I thought the first fight was a close one.
01:25:13
Speaker
I kind of gave it more to Serrano or a draw. a Second fight, eh. you know tay Taylor edged her, but the the refs didn't help. I think the refs should have took some points away, but another story. ah but you know she did She does have those victories, so she kind of does dictate what does and doesn't happen, regardless shake hands or not.
01:25:33
Speaker
um and She approached that the way she should approached that said, I'm the champ. ah i' ah you know i'll I'll say how many how many minutes we do. If I want two minutes, we do in two minutes. you don't like it, don't sign a contract. Yeah.
01:25:47
Speaker
it' one of those ah principal things, you know? I mean, if she did, like, say in the beginning, though, that she was willing to do it, and then even if she didn't put it in the contract, that's still like, oh, man, but we could have had an epic fight of three-minute rounds, but...
01:26:03
Speaker
You decided you weren't up for that in the end. That's kind of like, do you think that's like kind of backing out of what could have been a historic, you know, kind of moment just because she's scared maybe that, you know, Toronto will beat her in three minutes? It's an ego thing.
01:26:16
Speaker
Every fighter, everybody, everyone on this earth has ego. where Man, woman, doesn't matter. You know, um... it When it comes to these fires, some things boil down to color of gloves, who comes out first, just things of that nature. Who's the A side? Who's the B side?
01:26:32
Speaker
you know They're fighting in New York again, and Kay Taylor's like, I've already won twice in America. i could probably sell out in Ireland, but we're doing this in New York. So, no.
01:26:43
Speaker
I'm putting my foot down. You already got enough. We're not doing three rounds. We'll do two. And she maybe probably wants to do three rounds, but She know want probably doesn't want to give the challenger every goddamn thing she wants. You know i mean? So she's probably like, no, I'm i' the champion. I'm coming over here again.
01:26:58
Speaker
So I'm missing out on my unseasoned food to fight you. So, no, it is what it is. yeah You're not getting it. So i don't I'm not blaming Stacey Taylor. Now, now she will she's obviously going to make way more money here than anywhere they would in Ireland. But even if, let's say, they went to Wembley and fought. for more people in in the seats over there.
01:27:18
Speaker
They'll way more people in my thing. But it's all women card, which is great. Alicia Bumgarner signed with him so to have ah and another undisputed fight. It's an all-woman card. You can say what you want about Jake Paul and his goofiness and what he's doing to the sport, but I commend him, what he's doing to female boxing.
01:27:34
Speaker
um I'm a big fan of what he's doing. He's putting ah female boxers on the map. ah Not necessarily on a map, but put it he's showcasing them to where people can tune into a female box. Because back in day, we just get one maybe one fight on a Tyson undercarby, Christy Martin or somebody.
01:27:48
Speaker
you know and And I think the stigma is gone now about, you know oh, it's just a girl fighting. No, girls can fight too. And they're some are better than or just as good as the men with a skill level. So...
01:27:58
Speaker
um I think that stigma's kind of gone. People are are finally opening their eyes to ah female fighters. And overseas, they support a lot, especially with Savannah. You watch that Savannah Marshall versus Carissa Shields fight, which was phenomenal. the That was one of my fights of the year um when that happened. And they so they sold out that whole ah arena.
01:28:16
Speaker
So I think America's finally starting to catch on a little bit more. And um their first fight, they sold out the Madison Square Garden, in the big room, like the the big where Knicks played down there because you got two rooms in Madison Square Garden. They sold that out. And had everybody watching that fight. So, um you know, I think it's probably because it's just a bigger market in New York. You know, they could just market more.
01:28:36
Speaker
But when you fight overseas, you're talking... last square art I don't know how much it is. Maybe it's $17,000, $19,000, whatever. You go over to Ireland, you're fighting a soccer stadium. You're talking about 50s, 60s. You know what I'm saying?
01:28:48
Speaker
Something like that. so Right. yeah Okay. All right. Well, there you go. There you have it. That Club A.D.' 's fan mailbag. So those are our questions for the day. We appreciate everybody that has tuned in. Yes, shout out.

If she tries to leave her DNA, if she put lipstick in your bed or somewhere like that, a burglar came and left something.
