Speaker
So Clubber D, how are we doing today, my brother?
00:01:32
Speaker
you know we're maintaining we're having fun you had a little you know nice little uh holiday uh work party you know all that good stuff got some nice gifts to the white elephant oh what'd you get what'd you get in the white elephant uh i got a terrible gift that i gave away it was like oh god bless like that he knows like one of those deals where i pick it up look at it i should have grabbed the other gift but i opened that one instead and then i was like you know that look of like the disgust when you get a gift you don't want but you know i'm a nice sport so i accepted everything but Now, did you, did you, like did you later trade that gift though? Cause I know you quite well. I think you might've tried to barter with someone. Well, there, there are some, uh, uh, lovely young ladies that I've worked with some, uh, you know, people that were like, Hey, can I have this? as I was like, look, as long as we leave here, you can do whatever you want with it. I'm going to put it down. I'm going to turn around. If it's gone, it's gone. You know, I don't know. That's hilarious. It's not here.
00:02:25
Speaker
It is what is. But just to let everybody know, I give good gifts. I did an eggnog little bottle. Okay. williams And then I ah added an additional bottle of Evan Williams Bonded, you know, 100 proof. So I do, I do good gifts. You know, what's hilarious is that is my drink in Nashville because across the street at the liquor store for Christmas. Well, I should say only for Christmas. It's only time I drink eggnog, but during Christmas time when I'm there in Nashville, I'll go get the Evan Williams eggnog and I'll mix it with the Bond and bottle. Evan Williams.
00:02:57
Speaker

And Clubber G really wants to give you the hot scoop and tell you about what he thinks. And I'm gonna tease this real nicely here. What may be the best boxing card ever. Let me move that out of my face. So let's go ahead and bring this up now. While we're doing that, make sure you're subscribed at Ball and Buds. I think we've got a bunch of people watching on the live stream. So please go ahead and subscribe at Ball and Buds. B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S. Make sure you hit that like button as well. Help us out in the algorithm.
00:04:00
Speaker
Please hit that like button. Oh, what up? What up? Yes, like a club or D hitting those comments. Red ribbon bathroom. Shut up. You see, I got my my degree in the back. I was you know, Brad, I haven't seen that that that ah that card announced. So we might have to talk about that later on. We will definitely get into that. If you don't any fight fights, you're looking forward to write them in the comments. We might get to those.
00:04:21
Speaker
Yes, that's perfect. Yeah, like you said you have any flights you want you want cover detail address Please let us know that being said, let's take a look at this Amazing amazing card. First of all, it's gonna start with that main event, right? You got the better be of vs-ball rematch Excuse me, then we got Daniel Dubois versus Joseph Parker and all Britain ah Escapade we've got just wait a second. So Joseph Parker's from Oh, no, wait He's he's New Zealand or something. He's New Zealand. That's right. Thank you. You're right. I apologize to Joseph Parker. Yeah, please. Please do not KO me. I don't want to be KO'd. We got Shakur Stevenson. We got Virgil Ortiz. We got Israel Madramov. We got Jay Lee Jean. We got Callum Smith. Nashville. He's from Nashville, right? I think he is.
00:05:09
Speaker
Anyways Thomas Smith is from he's a Liam Smith's brother. He's a you know, oh, you know, he's English he's british he Okay. All right. So let's go ahead and get what are your thoughts on this card? My brother?
Turkey Alashik's Boxing Card
00:05:20
Speaker
What do you think? Uh, Turkey Alex Sheik is doing this again He's doing what we've been asking for in boxing for a long time. We're getting the brush all the fights we want to see and he's already announced that this fight is going to be like twenty five dollars to get this to get this event. Twenty five dollars is crazy. That's a crazy work. Eighty dollars over here to fight. Oh, thank you. The body fighter bum. I'm not going to name their names, but you know, we're paying eighty seventy and eighty dollars in the box in America with Turkey. She was like, you know what? Good boxing, you know, saying I could do this for twenty five dollars. This whole part, if it stays with me, could be probably the best fight card of all time.
00:05:56
Speaker
wow Wow, wow way that this could disappoint, OK? You just look at the but ah the main of you want to start. Do you want me to start the bottom so you can kind of like address and go up to the top? Is that what you want to hear?
00:06:10
Speaker
I mean that's it's uh, well the one thing I would say right here, so you got Virgil Ortiz going against uh Madrimov. Madrimov is the one that that Terrence Crawford just beat. Right. He is already scheduled to fight on the Tyson Fury uh versus um uh usic rematch in december he's always going to oh he's fighting borscht the guy that for how he's just fought and i thought er everyone thought that fight was kind of close thought he lost that fight dropped vergil jeez multiple times in that fight but he's remarkable if he's fighting in december against borscht and then he's going to fight vergil wortese so in february worse so that's that's why i don't know how that's going to happen so that right there i doubt that that fight's going to happen i i seriously doubt that fight will happen
00:06:52
Speaker
Okay. so Okay. So you think because of the fights are too close together that that one's just gonna fall through. Okay. All right. And also, uh, with that fight, uh, boots Ennis has come over a lot of steam because he didn't look that great against Karen, uh, Chuka Jane and I don't pronounce his name all jacked up, but he looked ah great in order to pronounce it. He's going to go up to one 54. And then now he, uh, you know, all right. now Now you do, you're touching two things now. I know. Right.
00:07:17
Speaker
touching too many things. Yeah, let's let's relax a with it at all. But um so he already announced that he wanted me with the 154. Now this fight guy that announced it and then he said, oh, I'll fight you at one 147. So he's boots is ducking, which is, you know, not too cool. I'm not a fan of that. But yeah, that's a fight card that I cannot wait to see. Well, we'll touch more on that fight card when we get to that. When we get closer. Omar, what are you doing over there? What is going on?
00:07:45
Speaker
but anyway but ah ri keeping moving So that's a fight card that I'm waiting to see. um I hope that everything stays the same but I honestly think that um that Israel Magimal fight will not happen. um And one of the main fights that, besides that fight, i'm I'm curious to see Shakur Stevenson when he makes his comeback. you know ah how How's Shakur Stevenson going to look when he comes back? um And he was coming off that hand injury. He hasn't looked great in his last few ah his last few outings. So let's let's hope that Shakur Stevenson puts on a good show. and
00:08:23
Speaker
you know it's Him fighting Kid Austin right there is kind of puzzling to me. We saw Kid Austin, Floyd Scofield fight his last fight a couple weeks ago. He didn't look that great. He got dropped, came back, but he's only 22 years old and are putting him there against the champion. Now, Oscar De La Hoya wasn't for it, but you got to remember, Oscar De La Hoya, he won his first title when he was what, 20, 21 or something like that. You know what I'm trying to say, he won't have to deal with Floyd Scofield up.
00:08:48
Speaker
Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson, all the greats were champions at an early age. Devin Haney was champion at an early age. So you can't tell these fighters, you know, we want to build you up, but if they they have a chance to be great at that age at this point.
00:09:00
Speaker
Sometimes you gotta let them do what they gotta do, you know? That's a fight I'm very interested to see because Shakur has something to prove and Kit Austin has something to prove as far as being a young gunner, trying to fight, you know, bump your world champion that age. Now, I know it's it's early, but you did mention how young he is and and how they're putting him up. and And I assume from the way that you were just talking about it too early in your eyes, do you think he even stands a modicum of chance here against, you know, one of one one of the best fighters um in the world right now?
00:09:30
Speaker
The way he looked the last fight, he fights like that against Shakur. It's not going to look good. It's not going to be a good fight. Okay. <unk> If, ah if, if it does.
00:09:42
Speaker
If he, I mean, it depends on his game plan. It really depends on, of course, if it's hands are really healed because he's been, he has looked so great. His last few fights, he's either running or just point fighting. Cause he can't take it as a issue with his hands and wrists. So, you know, it's one of those things where it really depends on what type of conditioning is, ah what type of condition is, of course, Stevenson in for this fight. So.
00:10:05
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, you know, um, I wish it was in the States also, but it's it's a yes and no, because when these fights happen, these fights are on at like one, two o'clock our time. And that's actually pretty cool. Cause that means I can have my night to do whatever I want to do when these fights, this fight, this, this car might be done at like, uh,
00:10:27
Speaker
seven o'clock and then you can do what you want to do on Saturday night. The reason why we won't have ah these fights in the States, because the promoters here are too scared to put these fights together. It's the Floyd Mayweather effect. Everyone's scared to let their O go, just in case. They don't want to challenge And Turkey Alashik, he's all about, hey, the real fighters fight over here. If you're a real fighter, you want to fight somebody, you're going to come rock with us for a blank period.
00:10:51
Speaker
so Yeah, and thank you for tuning in, Brandon. We ah really appreciate it. Brandon also says UFC 310 is going crazy. We love your predictions. Well, you're in the right spot, our brother. You are in the right spot because we are going to get clobber these predictions for UFC 310 directly after this here in a couple minutes once we're done with the boxing. So stay tuned, my

Let's keep it moving. though What do you think about this Daniel Dubois Joseph Parker fight?
00:11:44
Speaker
I love how you pronounce it, DuBois. Is it not? What is it? DuBois. DuBois. The proper way is DuBois, you know? The American way is DuBois, I guess. I guess the European is okay. there got it it's a no i this's It's all good. It's funny. But no, no, this is a fight, you know? um I forgot who they, he was supposed to fight. They scheduled at first was supposed to be a big baby, Jerome Miller, uh, who had that, uh, that draw with ah an louisise yeah um um the on the Bud Crawford fight card. But I guess something happened with the negotiating. So they kind of bumped him out and put Joseph Parker in there. Joseph Parker is deserving of a title shot. Cause you know, he beat Zang and he beat, uh, uh, Deontay Wilder. So.
00:12:26
Speaker
He's an ex champion. Um, he's fought for the belt multiple times fighting a Joshua. He's fought a fear as Eden fight fury, but he fought Joshua. He had the belt and he lost it to, I want to say, I think he beat Louise or lost to Louise back in the day. WBA, a but you know, he's an ex champion. Um, he's been on a tear and this, this is actually this fight. Um,
00:12:49
Speaker
I'm not saying it might steal the show, but this might be, it's not going to go the distance. It's weird because the, both of these fighters, if anyone follows their career, they're all about confidence and. hire the confidence these fighters have the better they sometimes they don't they're lacking confidence into a fight they don't look that great so both of these fighters need that that ah motivation that that that that corner man to uh to big them up during this fight so i'm very interested to see which one of these fighters is going to come in more confident because if you saw uh Daniel Du Bois winning for uh uh Joshua
00:13:21
Speaker
Right. um in in a press Exactly. I scared to you. We'll see what you want to do. You know, so if he keeps that killer mentality and stop being Mr. Nice guy, I think he can win this fight. I think he can win this fight. And that's exactly what, that's exactly what I was thinking. Sorry to step on you there. That's exactly what I was thinking. When you just were talking in my mind, I was thinking, man, he had that really good showing against Anthony and Joshua. There's no reason that he couldn't do that again.
00:13:48
Speaker
Exactly. you didnt That was at Wibley Stadium with 90,000 people, you know, throwing fish and chips and whatever else they eat over there. So, you know, he was it was a big crowd and he rose to an occasion. So um he he he's hungry. He's been fighting hungry ever since ah and was just that Usyk loss, which if you ever watch that fight, you kind of should have won that fight. But, you know, because he did hit him below the belt, but it was really on the line. And, you know, we are, we are just, we are always in sync. And that's why I love how close we are. Cause we just have these things. It's like we have the the the ESP. So that's exactly what I was thinking. So if, he if the boy, if the boy or whatever, are you say to boy if he if he wins this fight,
00:14:31
Speaker
We've been dancing around this all british wendley extravaganza with fury and you know even possibly usik were he to beat fury is that still in the possible realm here of this thing we could see my uh My thing would be this if if ah daniel wins this fight i'm calling first name like we're cool if daniel wins this fight uh and say Usik wins um who knows what they're gonna do with the belts. Okay. Now, but but what about with Fury? Cause Fury, that's pretty much guaranteed then, right? Or Fury wins. If Fury wins, who's he's already stated that he might retire. He's already kind of like, Oh, wow. wow Okay. I didn't hear that. All right. Um, so he's kinda, you know, if he wins, I think he might retire. If he loses, I don't know if he'll retire or whatever, but say that say perfect world. He wes usssa wins. Who sick wins.
00:15:31
Speaker
Without a doubt, and he doesn't retire, I can see him want to fight Daniel Du Bois to be two time undisputed. Ooh. Right. Does have the IPF championship. It's only unified for Fure and Usyk. It's not for all the belts. It's only unified. It's not undisputed. Now, the I think the winner, because this fight is going to happen in February, and Usyk and Uh, fury or in December, December 21st, the same day of a ugly sweater party I'm going to, we should be attending. Um, I want to go. So the winner of that is it's basically setting up each other to fight for undisputed pride next fall. That's, that's my goal. Wow. Okay. Nice. And if I'm right, then a Turkey, I should fly me out there. You know what I'm saying? Cause
00:16:17
Speaker
Hey, hey, hey Me you now they ain't salty is me me you No, we just stop by to buy holler some hubbies to keep it moving, but it'd be me. Oh The Skywalker will get up with your Papa tune Yale. We'll get Shout out to the fellas Yeah shout out to all all of our fellows out there uh as we mentioned y'all make sure you tap in with all of them guys uh 86 Fox and Skywalker and Poppy shoot yeaho I like how you say what what do you say heavy me on the one as as a man Erna says it's it's it's
00:16:55
Speaker
We say heavy on a poppy light on the Yale. Okay. Yes That is jo yale it's tremendous. That is great. I love it. Yeah, no for sure. Hey, hey turkey. I'll see we've been already doing our boxing interviews We're all a journalists for stepping up our game invite us out baby. Let's go. All right moving on better be a versus evil the rematch that everybody has been waiting for obviously the last fight the decision was a little bit of a Some people called it a could call it a city could have been a bad decision.
Better be of vs. Bivol Rematch
00:17:28
Speaker
Excuse me a little bit of controversy What do we think you brother? Oh, I love it because you gotta understand that was only four months after a Better be have had a s surgery on his knee on his MCL So now he's having more more mobility and this fight isn't too far off his last fight. So he Even though he's older. think He's about 40 close to it. You know, I I
00:17:51
Speaker
you know, I'm leaning towards him and this is going to be, um I'm happy he's fighting a lot quicker than the whole year because I believe Ramadan is March this year. So they're doing this fight right before Ramadan. So he doesn't have to worry about, you know, right. Uh, worrying about that while training. So, um,
00:18:08
Speaker
I'm looking forward to this fight. I want to see what's Deval's game plan because he fought a perfect fight the last fight. But still, you can't win by backing up. It's tough. That's my main thing. Felix Trinidad against De La Hoya. De La Hoya was winning until like the eighth of ninth round and started backing up. My thing is always you cannot win backing up. I don't care. It's not good optics when it comes to boxing. There's this thing about ring generalship.
00:18:37
Speaker
You know Evolve Black that towards the end of that fight Now I want to follow that up because we know that better be of was um For the most part at least in the public eye in the mainstream to the to the non mate Excuse me the mainstream non knowing boxing fans better be of was was kind of a latecomer in terms of name recognition He's 39 now evil is 33 um We obviously saw that it it looked it looked in the fight and some people said this from the last fight that the younger fighter Was looking obviously more spry and But that better be of getting older was looking a little older as well Do you do you adhere to to to what those people said? And how do you think this fight them each being now 18 months older is going to affect the elder better be is
00:19:35
Speaker
Well, you know, it's, it's one of those things where that's when people better be, it was not, he's not like an act. It was like, I throw a thousand punches. Okay. This man, before this fight, everybody fought. He was like 19 and oh, 19 knockouts. So the sample size for him wasn't really that great. So most people didn't know who he is on the hardcore box of fans did on casuals.
00:19:56
Speaker
only No, you know before because before the ball fall in the HBO days, you know, he's only 33, please He's been he's been in the limelight ah since his early 20s and he fought Canelo So he won't be canella so more people know him in his style But you know, it's weird. You would think the knockout guy would be the guy more popular way Box is is about the exposure. He's ah he's top-ranked. He's on ESPN all the Canadian and and Russians, you know, all everybody, all all the the big hardcore, you know, uh, fans and especially their, them having this card in.
00:20:30
Speaker
Saudi Arabia and him being a Muslim, you know, they went crazy the first time when he fought. So he has a fan base. It's kind of like Hamzah Chamayev in the UFC, you know, he can only fight in Abu Dhabi or Saudi or something like that. He can't come to American fight just yet. I don't even know if he can go to Australian fight. But the reason why it's good, kind of like ah the the other person Patojas fight, what we'll get to later, you know, that they have a great fan base, you know, saying they have a great back and behind them.
00:20:58
Speaker
from people from their culture or from their, from their homeland. So that's why the exposure like this is, this should be good exposure for them. That first fight, people talked about it. So now everybody's going to watch, want to watch the rematch and see what he can do. You know, I think he's only going to get better because it's more time since he's had that knee injury. Um, you know, that he's going to, he's going to prove and knock. And I can say yet it's going to be a good fight. i think i'll say we a Don't give it away yet. Don't give it away. Don't give it away too quick.
00:21:26
Speaker
You know, we got we got to tease him with it. ah Thank you all again for tuning in. Yes, this is going to be an amazing card. um So I do have one last follow up question before we get to UFC 310. You know, I'm not going to call this person out, but why are you sending me an old video? That's not funny. Watch the show, Cornball. what Watch the show. All videos like dog. Don't stop. yeah You're going back to delete it. Right. And it means you're not watching us. So that's like. ha ah ah So in I guess the question I'm thinking now is what other big fights are on the horizon that you can think of?
Future Boxing Matches
00:22:11
Speaker
um Because in my eyes, other than Fury and Usyk,
00:22:15
Speaker
ah what I mean, we don't have anything lined up for Canelo or for, uh, you know, uh, Terrence Crawford, even though there was rumors of that moving closer to a, uh, a thing that might happen. What do you see on the horizon for any other major, major fights that eat the mainstream. Uh, so, uh, the month before this in January, I think it's January, January, maybe early February.
00:22:41
Speaker
We're going to have David Morrell against David Benavidez. The winner of that fight is going to get the winner of this. And that's going to be phenomenal. That's why I want a certain person to win. So we can just get rid of this and get to better VF. Or not better VF. Morrell going against ah the winner. Morrell and David Benavidez. David, what's that? Yeah, that's his name, right? David. Yeah, David Benavidez. No, no, it's not better VF.
00:23:09
Speaker
No, Benavidez, Benavidez. It's too close, ok um okay? no The Mexican monster. It is very close. It's like a Mexican and rich's like a mexican and Russian version of each other. the same name better be a better You know what? The Mexican slash Honduras monster, David versus David Morrell. The hard-hitting Cuban. How but how about that? So that fight I cannot wait for. you know And that's a fight that's going to be on the pay-per-view, PVC fight, Amazon, where we're going to be paying like $80.
00:23:38
Speaker
And ain't no belt in line. like i see That's ridiculous. That's crazy, man. We're going to pay. And that's a hardcore person, like a hardcore boxing fans fight that wants to see David Morrell against David Benavidez because Canelo been ducked at both of them. So they have to move up to another weight class just so they can get a title shot. So we're going to pay money to watch that fight.
00:24:00
Speaker
when there's no belt on the line, well, we're going to watch, if we're going to pay $25 to watch this fight, which is one of the best fight cards when we got one, two, three, four. um um I'm just, I don't got the whole picture, but right now, one, two, three, four world champions, you know, one, two, three, four world champions. Okay. So you're getting four more champions defending their belt against good opponents for $24.
00:24:26
Speaker
like well We're gonna play for 25 damn dollars. That's crazy We're gonna pay 80 to fight two people not fighting for a belt to fight the winner of this fight So and you gotta be that that's why America eight is it? You know say like bring it back to a man brandy, you know, I wish it was in the States But this is the shit we got deal with in the States opposed to Turkey out of sheet and they put it on the good fights Overseas they've already proven that They don't need Vegas no more. They don't need Madison Square Garden no more. They say, F America, you do our time. We're not like the UFC where UFC made, and for Leon Edwards, a beloved Mohammed fight made them adhere to our time. When they're watching a fight at four in the morning, we watch a regular time for us. They're like, you know what? No, no, no. Y'all are going to watch it on our time in America. Tough ass.
00:25:15
Speaker
And it's crazy because I was trying to look at what historical boxing cards um could stack up because when when I searched best boxing cards ever like this card just continually popped up. And the next best thing I got was, and this is an amazing card, wait till you hear this bad boy.
00:25:36
Speaker
I've got two of them for you. The first one is, I'm going to give you the first one, which is not as great. And then I'll give you the second one. Listen to this first one. The co-main event was Lennox Lewis versus Tony Tucker. and and the the not even the the co-mate event but the one before that the the coco was Julio Cesar Chavez versus Terence Ali and so this was May 8th 1993 in the Mirage in Las Vegas right not not great but it was okay now September 28th 1979 Caesars Palace in Las Vegas they're saying this is the
00:26:09
Speaker
The the last greatest best card ever you have in the fourth match our buddy Puerto Rican legend Well on your top five, by the way Go check out clever these top five Puerto Rican boxers short and Mexicans by the way They're on YouTube and he got a lot of views Wilfredo Gomez versus Carlos Mendoza the Coco the Coco main event Roberto Duran and versus Zephyrino Gonzalez the co-made event Sugar Ray Leonard versus, I don't know who this bum is, but Andy Price, he's probably not a bum. I shouldn't say that. and And then in the main event, Larry Holmes versus Ernie Shavers. Oh, wow. You know, that's actually a good card. That's because that card had stars on it. And that's. Now, if you think about that card, you look at the the the the past tense of as far as the how iconic those fighters are.
00:27:09
Speaker
later in their career. Right. 78. You know what I'm saying? And you know, look at this card, look at this card right now and where they are right now. It's just just crazy. Right. Crazy. Yeah. So, yeah, this probably this might be the best card, you know, if it stays like this of all time.
00:27:28
Speaker
a brand a brand And we do not at all condone the streaming of a live sports. But my friend, I am all for you doing what makes you happy. And if you ever find yourself to be out of one and you find streams of meth or streams of crack, well, you'll find the Promised Land again, my friend. Just a little hidden riddle for those of you out there.
00:27:54
Speaker
who may need a little proper. That being said, I know you had one more piece of boxing news for us. One of our favorite fighters, you and I both, is getting ready to fight Oscar Navarrete.
Navarrete vs. Valdez Rematch
00:28:08
Speaker
What can you tell us about this boxing news?
00:28:14
Speaker
Oscar, can you ask about us? What did I say? Oscar Navarrete? Wait, oh, my bad. You know what I meant. a
00:28:25
Speaker
Oh my god. We are the worst with names. We are the least. You names all the time. I don't want to hear that. Alright, Oscar. but Now, we're at the anyways. good Let's see. That's funny. Lennox Tyson's fighting soon. So, Lennox Tyson, shut up. But again, now, we're at the verse about it. So, the first fight, which is funny because we had our offensive football draft in 2023. We were down in New Orleans.
00:28:55
Speaker
and um me, you and Eric left a little later. Me, Dale, the snail, and Lamar went out. We came back early, because I know me and Dale, we had early flights heading back. So we came back, watched this fight, which was phenomenal. You and Eric came in, like, probably went like this. Eighth or eighth or ninth round, y'all. Yeah, it was like the sixth or seventh. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we were all, Eric, we were all just watching it. It was about halfway. He was like, oh snap. You know what I'm saying? And this fight was ridiculous. I mean,
00:29:25
Speaker
The scorecards, it was a slug fest. We had Navarotti, I had scorecards run down here, 116 to 112, 118 to 110, 119 to 110. This car was was built as, you know, the the Battle of Mexico. They had Eric Morales, they had Marco Teno Barrera there. They had, who'd just say, the Chavez. They built this up to be one of the best Mexican fights, you know, that to bring back that whole, you know, oh to bring back the whole ah top Mexican fighters fighting each other. And this it didn't didn't a disappoint. It was a great fight. um Only thing that sucked about it was when Navarazzi, it was like in the mid rounds, he heard his right hand. But this man threw jabs galore. He had Valdez rocked in the first in in early rounds. And this man threw, let's see, Valdez landed a high, I had to write this down because it's just crazy, crazy numbers here.
00:30:14
Speaker
So Valdez had a higher connection rate of 32%. Navarate's connection rate was only 17%. Wow. Navarate threw with one hand. double Okay. One hand was hurt. He would, he would have hold okay would a whole, okay. Okay. Okay. He threw 1038 punches, punches more than Valdez. Okay. So Navarate was on it. Okay. And, and.
00:30:39
Speaker
It's the violence connected with 76 more than, uh, then, um, uh, about as connected 76 more than, um, Navratis. So even though he threw a lot more of the power, more of the, the, the power punchers, you know, it was volume versus choice punches. If that makes sense. Um,
00:30:56
Speaker
Valdez landed more but the volume of Navraté was just too much for him. You know I'm saying he's killing him with a jab. So you know it's a one-sided thing and Navraté went on to win. This is gonna be the rematch on Saturday if you have nothing to do or if you have a DVR if that's still a thing if if if this is a fight that uh you know if if you're not if you're new to boxing you want to see action please Check this fight out. It'll be on ESPN. All right. I believe it's free. Or you can go on to, uh, wherever these other sites are. You know what I'm saying? Check them out. You know what I'm saying? I ain't naming no names. You know, I'm not naming no names where you can watch this stuff. You know, some of y'all, some of y'all have your neighbors, uh, some of y'all windows and stuff like that. You know, I ain't going to, you know,
00:31:39
Speaker
They know names will be borrowing accounts and stuff like that for ESPN plus But you know it is what it is watch this fight if you have nothing to do or watch it the next day You know dan if you want to watch boxing what you saying box is boring watch this fight will change your mind. Tell you that right now There you go. Hey you heard it here first as our boy hot take Jake would say um shout out everybody there at the bottom If you were looking for us earlier, we had some technical difficulties. So we'll be on either later tonight or tomorrow or next week. ah Braden says, pull up UFC 311 first before we talk about 310. OK, I can do that while I'm doing that, though. I want you all to make sure you're subscribed. Go to bald and buds.
00:32:23
Speaker
B-A-L-L-A-N-D B-U-D-S on YouTube Make sure you subscribe there or follow on Instagram as well. You should do both And yeah, I'm bringing up UFC 311 now before we go into 310. Thank you for the suggestion right now Right now you have okay. So here we go. Let me go to the main card but i will what but what what i don't know ah Yes, sir, what's good do you want me to ah I'll give my prediction for Navarotti and Valdez. Oh, hold on. Hold on. No, no, we're not gonna do it now. We're not, we're not gonna do it now. We'll do our UOC predictions. Okay. I'll give that prediction. I also give the prediction for another fight where you're in the boxing. Okay. Liam Parle's going against Richard Hitchens on the zone. So if you want, that's a good fight. Liam Parle's back-to-back fights in Puerto Rico for Australian. He beat Saburo Matisse for the IBF. Now he's defending it against, no, it's not the IBF. Um, which one did he win?
00:33:22
Speaker
WBA. I don't know. He won't want to belt on 140. He's defending it against a that's if you will open his IVF. I believe so. They might be WBA. No, that's that's uh, uh, Fonsuela. So he got he has the WBO. There we go. WBO belt. He's he's uh defending against Richard Hitchens and that's going to be fired. That's that's That's that's champions. Calm down. Not names. They'll get it right, sir. Um, but he's fighting again in Puerto Rico. yeah haven When you're making assumptions, you gotta, you gotta gotta make them make sense. Okay. Don't just, I'm just messing with you. But, uh, Saburo Matinsu was, ah was a nightmare killing, killing people. Unfortunately, you know, he beat him in Puerto Rico and he's fighting back, back to back in Puerto Rico against Richard Hitchens.
00:34:08
Speaker
And it'd be a good fight too. If you're on the zone, check that out as well. So you got two you got options on Saturday if you're not watching college sports. You got Liam Parra against Richard Hitchens, and you got Navarante against Valdez on ESPN.
00:34:24
Speaker
but we'll be that no that Yes, sir and Emmanuel I apologize for getting your name incorrect sir Emmanuel Navarrete. I love him. He's a great fighter. Here we go UFC 311 Here is our fight card that uh, Brandon wanted us to bring up to your co-co main event Johnny Walker's fighting and then moving into our is really good co-main and main Diva Swally versus Nirmaga Medoff and our main event Mahachev versus Armand because I can't say his last name so soriiarook turan to
00:34:57
Speaker
tur tersh turrrican what just say um ah bond excuse me um the too me i mess that thing up too i mean What do you think about this so far?
UFC 311 Preview
00:35:07
Speaker
I know this can always change, but I wouldn't say fire. I would say that it's it's it back into good. Paul's with the two double champions, champions fighting. um And he said they're adding jury versus, uh, you know, Hill, uh, your, your per hot, your per hot skits against, uh, now that fight, that's a good fight. If they're going to do that, I would drop down. Johnny Walker, who is not Johnny Walker is, is, is, uh, he's washed. Oh.
00:35:38
Speaker
OK, he's washed completely washed. Who hasn't knocked him out? i mean Yeah, I mean, he's got beat a lot, but he's a good fighter and he can still, you know, OK, OK, OK. He's just look at his knockout freaking tape. It's it's he he was good until he messed his shoulder up because he was on a great ah winning streak. And then when he did the little worm and ah in the cage mess his shoulder up. Oh, that's right. I remember that same air was knocked him out. Your posh gets in a Jamal Hill.
00:36:09
Speaker
Jamil Hill are Jamil. Jamal Hill are in this than Jamil Hill. Shout out Jamil. It would be. Yeah, no, it's it's it's good card. I'll say it's better than the card Saturday. OK, now let's now let's get into that because the card Saturday. ah Well, originally, let me bring up this image I got for us originally.
00:36:34
Speaker
Hold on one second. They bring it up. Originally, they had. Uh, co-main event that was scratched. Here it is. Are you stuck in a matrix?
00:36:53
Speaker
Oh, you had it. You had it. Oh, you had it. Come on fingers. There you go. I think your phone's on mute or something. Your phone's stuck. Can you, can you see it? Yeah, you're good.
00:37:09
Speaker
ah bre Brandon, the most hilarious part, Brandon, I know you might've turned in a little behind, but the most hilarious part is we're having so much technical, I have been having so many technical difficulties with my laptop tonight. That usually is what I run on. I'm doing it on my phone and I'm also controlling my laptop to do the screen for the pictures. So every time I try to do something, I keep thinking I'm doing it on my laptop and I do it on my phone. And that's why you see me go away. Cause I'm like moving my phone. and It has nothing to do with the internet. It just had to do with me moving my phone. Thank you, Derek. Thank you, Derek. It's not the internet this time, but I will accept it. All right. Anyways. You can't buy the laptop where you buy Slurpees. You got to go to the best buyer somewhere. You can't be going there. I agree. And both my phone and laptop hate me, so I might have to have a Christmas. I hate them. I might have to. I might. I know. You know my name.
00:38:00
Speaker
And you know what? You're so right because I just walking upstairs to do this show or before the bottom line, I was carrying my laptop and me being stupid, trying to do too many things at once. ah I went and my laptop dropped out of my hands and hit the floor. So that's probably why it's messed up, right?
00:38:18
Speaker
All right, let's go. ah Wow, how much disrespect is this? If I were Al-Jamein Sterling, I would feel disrespected. He was on the pre-lips before getting moved up after one of these cars, after the, um which one was it? That was, ah that was, it was Mohammed versus, okay, I told you. Oh no, Mohammed versus Rakhmanavan.
00:38:43
Speaker
ra maovov Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So that one got canceled, right? And so they moved Pantoja Azakora up and then put Rachmanovich against Gary, right? So, but Sterling, he was in the prelims before this. So, I mean, does should he feel disrespected? Oh, not really. I mean, that's not new. Dana White has his people, you know what I'm saying? Dana White has his good old boys and Aljamaine is not one of them, you know, him or, uh, his, uh, old training partner. I forgot his name. That's how you, Leon Edwards.
00:39:13
Speaker
No, no, he's he's British Italian cat. He's from Long Island. Mm. Mm. Brandon, help me out out there. Kelly and Cat. hello you let's say Yeah. But, you know, Dana White's never really, you know, he trades a rate where Ray Longo and Matt's there at that gym. But, um, Dana White's never really been a big, uh, uh, Sterling fan. So, you know, it's what it is. Okay. Does he, does he win here? I mean,
00:39:43
Speaker
I don't know much about the other guy. So you're going to have to tell me what you know about this other guy. I mean. I don't even know if I've ever heard of him before, to be honest. I'm going to. ah Yeah, is it I K I. okay i ah And again, I don't watch as much as you do, but I mean, I just haven't I don't remember something I.
00:40:11
Speaker
Well, it says he's the number five ranked. He's 18 and 0. He's 18 and 0. Number five. Al, Al, I K to Al, I K to Al, Al, Al, Al, Al. Whatever. Something like that. It's Al. Yo, don't say Al on this program. So we're going to cancel. Oh, we're going to cancel.
00:40:31
Speaker
ah don twenty but
00:40:36
Speaker
Yeah, I'll I'll a Quinta something like that. I don't know. That's the hotel. Oh, yeah. I'll I'll acquit you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The guy with the long hair like get the mullet. No, it's it's curly. It's curly. It's Italian. It's curly. Okay. Curly. It's a guy.
Dominic Reyes vs. Anthony Smith
00:40:50
Speaker
Anyway, I'll say this for this fight. I'm going to go.
00:40:58
Speaker
Right. It's two for the under. Oh, damn. My man's already got the baton. Damn. We're going. We're cute up Omar. Yes, sir. Hold on. I was looking at the ah UFC description of it. Let me go here of bangers.
00:41:13
Speaker
Club bangers. I'm going with the foot master. Okay. You disrespect to put them under the prelims and now they put them on the main. You know, you don't like him and he doesn't care. go it's cool Let's go. Brandon agrees with you. And I agree with you, because I love Algermane Sterling. I don't care if Dana White don't like him. I like Algermane Sterling. He's a good fighter. You know, the folk master, you know what I'm saying? I like Algermane, you know what I'm saying? He's a human backpack. He's going to get a rear naked choke.
00:41:41
Speaker
um
00:41:44
Speaker
I'm going to say first round. um First round I'm gonna say we're naked choke and mean mug after that. He's gonna put the gold chain on He's gonna he's gonna he's gonna mean mug after that. I got got yeah, got he's mad right now He ain't fought in a while, you know saying it's hungry now I do have to ask you though because this mo mo mode move move, excuse me mobs are evil Lev is 18 and oh um so obviously ah You know Dana must think somewhat highly of this prospect in order to put him in the ring with such a tough fighter as I was mean Sterling Would I be correct in saying that?
00:42:16
Speaker
Oh yeah, no, definitely. It's, it's, it's kind of, it's one of those things where, you know, he's easy. He wants to test them, you know, and it's, it's, it's, this is a ah crossroads fight for Al germane. Al germane is at the point where do I become a gatekeeper? I'm an ex-champion. ah Last time y'all saw me, I believe.
00:42:34
Speaker
Last time before he got knocked out or did he fight after that? That was a couple of fights ago, I think. Sean O'Malley, yeah. Sean O'Malley got him on the set. Sean O'Malley back in April or May. No, that was in May. That was a couple of years ago. So we were down in Nashville for that one. Yes, sir. No, was that Nashville? I don't know. I don't think it was Nashville. No, no, because I was this year. That was this year. You weren't here.
00:42:55
Speaker
I saw it at the, um, no, no, we were together. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, it doesn't matter. I did a caveat and I called, I actually called around that it would happen. Um, yeah. Bryce Mitchell fight. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. He did fight Bryce. That's what I was wondering. Well, you know, I was at the point where, you know, he could be either the gatekeeper, a high, a high level gatekeeper, or he's still a title contention. So, um, I think, you know, he's, he's, I think he still got, still got it. So I'm a big fan of his.
00:43:25
Speaker
Now, now, Brandon, thank you for a quick segue. We're not going to we weren't planning on including including him in this club bangers. But now that you brought it up, I really want to know what covered he thinks about this because I know he knows both fighters. Bryce Mitchell is actually going to be fighting of Gracie family fame. Cron Gracie. So what do you think about this? It's in the prelips. Actually, no, it's in the main event. It's in the maker. Unless they changed it. ah Oh, against ah Gracie? um Yep. Mitchell versus Gracie. Mitchell's 800 favorite, so a large favorite. Yeah, because Karate, I mean, he fights, he doesn't fight as often. And he's just- Yeah, he doesn't fight very much, right. He's just jiu-jitsu. he If he gets ahold of you, it's a wrap. Bryce Mitchell worked, ah well, we're freaking out. His this pace is crazy. Damn.
00:44:22
Speaker
Yep. Thanks for the question, Brandon. Yep. He is on the main car. You're right. I would, I would, I would, I'm leaning towards Bryce Mitchell now. fingers Yeah.
00:44:33
Speaker
Clubs. If Bryce Mitchell takes him out by the second round, if he doesn't take him out by the second round, uh, no, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:44:50
Speaker
I think if if if Bryce Mitchell wins, it'll be probably in the first two rounds. oh
00:44:58
Speaker
But I could see a submission. That one's tough, because if Kron gets ahold of you. He could could so he could tap you so so so basically what you're saying is you're thinking you're thinking the strikers are gonna come out and Probably get him out of there in the first two rounds But if not, then you have the grappler that has more time to get his hands on top on Wow pause on him pause again Yeah, i love yeah, you know what? i Yeah, okay. It's kind of like the Cubs want when he fought cups Watson, you know say cup cup tap him You know, he's whooping that ass. So um Quran he's not so great on the hand. So I would i would say that that's a fight where Mmm
00:45:35
Speaker
bryce I don't know if Bryce is that, I can say smart, but if it's that high level enough not to get caught with something and get baited on coming, going to the ground. But you know, I'm going Bryce Mitchell. We'll go Bryce Mitchell. I'm just going to go Bryce Mitchell. Okay.
00:45:47
Speaker
and have some qui There you go. Some quick hitters here. Two more on the prelims that obviously one's on the picture here, but another one I just want to get your opinion on. ah So on the picture here, we have Vincente Luque versus Gorimbo. Gorimbo is the 162 favorite. So, I mean, it's very close there in the odds. um Vincente is a, well, Gorimbo is 14 and 4. And then Vincente is, let's see what his record is, 2210 and 1.
00:46:18
Speaker
So what are your thoughts on that? this is This is a get right fight. He needs this, but oh I don't think I was going to, Vicente, I was going to go with him, but but I think his time has come. Clubs banger. It's going. Okay. Vicente, great fighter. what what Come on, come on over to the gate.
00:46:44
Speaker
Come on over to the gate. Let's go paint this gate with with with Tom Sawyer. You'll be a gatekeeper, unfortunately. You're a great fighter, but it's the time has come. The time has come. It happens. It happens to the best of them. Kevin Holland. Kevin Holland. Come on over to the gate. Come on.
00:47:02
Speaker
no not k hall yeah but yeah i know i he he's such a badass though go to paint this gate with me come on okay Okay, so another another prelims that I really want to get your thoughts on ah Dominic Reyes number 12 ranked like light heavyweight who is a 340 favorite versus Anthony Smith who is only ranked at number 13 right behind him but he's the 270 underdog. Dominic Reyes, Anthony Smith what are your thoughts? You know Dominic Reyes is part of that
00:47:39
Speaker
The judges did me dirty. I should have be John Jones card no group. And when you lose to John Jones, your career kind of falls apart. When your patch gets hit him with that elbow, I thought he he went straight to sleep. He was CPAP status. who back oh that we hit him look I mean, it was bad. I mean, he, when he, when he slipped, he slept, he was like you sideways. He was he was sitting sideways, um you know, and, and I was just like, Lord have mercy. So.
00:48:06
Speaker
I'm glad he won his last fight by knockout because it proves that he is, he's kind of, he's kind of back to his old ways. I love seeing that. Um, Anthony Smith has fought just about everybody. Lionheart, he could have took the easy way out.
00:48:21
Speaker
And beat John Jones by a legal, I think it was a knee or knee to the head or something like that. We said, now let the fight keep going. He could have took the easy way. I took John Jones's belt. Andy Smith, you've been around forever. Great, great fighter. Okay. Great fighter to watch. All right. But he's painted that fence for quite some time. All right. Dominic Reyes.
00:48:42
Speaker
You're not paying a fence. You've been digging holes for the fence. Let's get you away from that. He's mixing the paint. He's mixing the paint. Let's get you closer to the house. Dominic Reyes, I need you to win by knockout. I'm going with you. I still think you have stuff in you. Pauls, I think you can still be a great fighter. You are a hell of a fighter. Andy Swift, you're a hell of a fighter. But Dominic Reyes, welcome to the show. I got you winning. I got you winning by...
00:49:13
Speaker
Knockout will probably be a decision, but I would like to see a knockout. And I want to see you catapult to get back into contention at light heavyweight. Because you, I thought you beat John Jones. A lot of people thought you beat John Jones. but A lot of people. A lot of people. Let's get your career back where it needs to be, okay?
00:49:32
Speaker
That is crazy because you're so right about that. He was so close to beating John Jones. So many people had that fight like, you know, going the other way. And then all of a sudden you just like, he just had a bad, a bad rough patch and you just didn't, it was, just it was, it was downhill from they were recovered, never recovered. There you go. Never recovered. That's exactly right. Yeah.
00:49:56
Speaker

Cyril Gane vs. Alexander Volkov
00:50:39
Speaker
We got Cyril gone versus Alexander Volkov ah And Cyril gone is the three three hundred and forty five favorite
00:50:51
Speaker
Uh, so fairly large favorite. Uh, he's 12 and two. Um, obviously we know he lost to John Jones. Um, Alexander Volkov is 38 and 10, uh, come both coming off wins. What are your thoughts on this fight? Uh, God has most pores outing against, uh,
00:51:13
Speaker
John Jones. It was just embarrassing. You know, the confidence level wasn't there. Scared of the bright lights. I don't know what it was. Who did he beat for the title? I forget. He fought it in like for the interim.
00:51:27
Speaker
Yeah, he fought the interim in name. Derek Lewis with his ass. Derek Lewis. Okay, coco cool, cool, cool. He's good against certain fighters that he knows he could dominate. Volkov has looked pretty good. He's been looking good lately. you know He's been picking people apart. This man's like 6'7". This is going to be a stand-up war. Siragan's a kickboxer. um It's hard to tell what type of serial gun we're going to see after, see, you know, are we going to see the John Jones serial gun, or are we going to see the Tui Taivosa serial gun? Are we going to see the, excuse me, um, going against Derek Lewis serial gun, or are we going to see the, I'm letting Francis Ngannou take me down serial gun. You know what I'm saying? So, um,
00:52:14
Speaker
Well, Volkov, he can't mess around, because Volkov will keep you at bay. They're both good kickboxes. Volkov's a little more aggressive. um For this fight, I think it's his time. Gloves bangers.
00:52:33
Speaker
Gloves bangers. Volkov, by decision. Are these going to out point him? Let go! You can out point him. Yeah, you know what? I agree with you. I think Volkog at this stage is probably the more dangerous fighter. While I think gone is okay, I think you're right. I think he has some confidence issues. um I believe that and I don't know because I don't really know what his background was before UFC. Maybe you can inform me, cupboardee, since you know more than I do, I only saw him in UFC. Yeah, gone.
00:53:07
Speaker
Oh God. I mean, he was, he was over in France. I couldn't tell you what he was off. Volkov was in Bellator before he moved over. blood So yeah. So there's an experience difference there. Cause I see, you know, he only has 14 fights gone in the UFC while Volkov has 32. So that's a massive difference of double, you know, the experience. So I agree with you. I think Volkov takes that as well. All right. Moving on to the co-main event.
Ian Machado Garry vs. Rakhmonov
00:53:30
Speaker
This is wow.
00:53:32
Speaker
So again, we talked about earlier, we're supposed to have Mohammed versus Rachmanov but now they had to change that and now he's going up against Ian Machado Gary. um yeah but Both of these fighters are undefeated. Ian Machado Gary out of Ireland is 15 and 0. He's 6' 3", 181 pounds with a 74.5 inch reach but Rachmanovitch has to reach advantage by two and a half inches at 77.
00:54:00
Speaker
they have the same leg reach he's seven pounds heavier um but he is two pounds shorter but he is eighteen and oh so eighteen and oh which is fifteen and oh what are your thoughts on this fight? Yeah this fight is basically Dana White uh Led and Ian it's go time you know uh Ian, you know, he's supposed to not build as the same as, but a Conor McGregor S, cause he's from Ireland, you know, he, ready big but ah yeah, like Patty over there and and in the UK, it's just, it's, he's trying to build his fan base over there. You know, he's brought in with a lot of hype. He talks a lot of mess. Leon Edwards, I think he was in his fight camp and he got knocked out one time. They had to kick him out. There's a lot of backstory with his current wife. Um, you know, uh, immigrant, Ian Gary is,
00:54:47
Speaker
Interesting. Okay. Um, his last fight with MVP. Fought to say fight fighting somebody like MVP, you know, um, didn't look overly great. You know what I'm saying? Even a fight before that, when he fought, uh,
00:55:00
Speaker
Jeff Neal, when he got the decision on that, I actually thought it could have gone the other way, you know, but he took out, he took out ian ah Neil Magny. He's done fairly well as far as you'll see, but this, he's going against a killer right now. Like he's going against a killer. He's scheduled to fight Buckley at the Tampa, um ah the the fight night. They were in the main event, the card in Tampa, but Kobe Covington is subject. And now ah that's who ah Buckley's fighting. But, ah you know, I was actually looking forward to that fight, but now he's fighting ah rock bottom. He reminds me of uh, Genevick. I don't know if they're from the same place. so I think it's Uzbekistan or not. I forgot where you're from. I'm not sure if they're from the same place but he reminds me of the boxer Genevick and he ain't no joke. Okay. He's yeah he has he's six and only. You'll see like you said he's he's eighteen and oh
00:55:50
Speaker
out of his six fights, he has one knockout and bri skin you are correct. becker yeah Yeah, there we go. Backstand. So he has, he has five, five submissions and one knockouts has been, you'll see with the six flights and out of five, five submissions, three rear naked chokes and two gear teams.
00:56:08
Speaker
He doesn't come to, he is no joke. He is a killer. And he's fought, they have, they have a common person in Jeff Neil, where in Gary had, you know, Stiles McPhyce, and Gary had a questionable fight against Jeff Neil could have gone either way, where Rock bottom, uh, Uh, tapped him out, you know, choked him out. You know what I'm saying? Uh, his last fight against Wonder Boy, Steven Thompson, who's better than anyone on, uh, on Gary's, uh, resume, uh, we're naked choke. I think it was a we're naked choke or a DT one of the two submission. Got him up out of there. You know what I'm saying? So with this fight, you know, you got in gear moving up, fighting the killer club. I'll tell you right now.
00:56:58
Speaker
clubs Damn, you heard it here. Make sure you put your bets in at FanDuel, Draft, King, Caesar, Caesars. I can't even get it out. ESPN, whatever you want. Cause Clubber D, I will tell you right now, if you didn't hear this last time, Brandon and all of our friends out there watching,
00:57:30
Speaker
Clubber D is eight no in his last two paper views He was four and oh in both and if you don't if you don't believe us go check the IG Boda proof in print that my man could be killing the game right now with the prediction And I and actually actually I was mother cuz I got a free steak dinner out of it, too. Just saying Hey, I like it. I like it So you heard it there, third round, rear naked jokes admission, Rachmanoviv over Ian Machado Gary, which would not look good for Dana White. It's going to be ah one of his prized possessions there that he's going to lose the O on. That being said, yeah, go ahead. Not saying it'd be like that, you're good.
00:58:15
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Alright. Well, let's move to the main event again. ah for tuning in We really appreciate y'all staying with us. Uh we are going to hit this last one and get up out of here for the night. So, we have a newcomer in in in
Kai Asakura's UFC Debut
00:58:32
Speaker
UFC. I don't know. I'm going to have to ask our expert ah UFC MMA insider here because I don't know that this has ever happened before but Kai Asakura is coming from uh rising uh where he had twenty-one wins and four losses thirteen of those wins by KO uh but this is
00:59:00
Speaker
and he is getting a championship bout uh against alexandra pontoja excuse me who is 28 and five uh from brazil i don't they don't even have stats on ufc for his weight for the other guy guy for his weight for his reach they don't even have the stats on the ufc website that i'm looking at it's this man away but it's it's i put like this the reason why he's coming in here and fighting the champ. He was he's he was the champion rising two-time fighter. He's fought a hoo-hoo over in Japan. Rising, if people don't know, backstory. Rising's like the stepson of pride fan at pride fighting back in the day. You had pride. Ooh, that was one of your favorites. That was one of your favorites. All the main fighters were in pride. I mean, Fedor, Rampage, Vandalay, Ninja.
00:59:49
Speaker
who no little no I can keep on going with all the great fighter, Mark Coleman, all the great fighters that were in pride and all the fights we saw, like Don Fry, ah Ken Shamrock was over there at times, you know what I'm saying? like Sakaraba, the AKA the Gracie Killer, you know what I'm saying? Ooh, yeah. Pride had all the fighters back then, and you could soccer kick, which is amazing. alex Alexander Overeen, but let me stop. So when Pride got bought up by UFC,
01:00:15
Speaker
You had dream promotions. that That was the same thing, similar to pride, but now we have rising. And if you guys don't know, rises where Mayweather had fought, uh, when he, when he boxed the guy, that was in, I was at a rising event. Rising has worked for Bellator in the past. Um, they like to put on their newer New Year's Eve shows where they like to have a, that's their biggest card. So, um, hi, uh, so think about him. He has a big following. All right. A very big following. Um, he is like.
01:00:45
Speaker
not on the same level, but on the MMA scene, he is similar to the monster Inua and comes to boxing. He is close to that level. Just to give you a hint of what Dana White's doing, the reason he's giving him a title shot. There's a Japanese market he needs to get into. Y'all know One Fighting owns the Asian market, all right? But Kai Asukora,
01:01:09
Speaker
His YouTube followers, he has 1.3 million YouTube followers. He has 170 videos with at least a million views. In the UFC, you have Izzy Alessandra, who has 27 views close to or at a million. That's the highest person in the UFC right now. So 27, you got 170.
01:01:37
Speaker
That's why he's getting a title shot and he could fight. His last fight he fought, I believe was, I got it written down here, a man, Juan Archuleta. That was last last year for the New Year's Eve show. um he yeah He knocked him out. um He, like I said, he's fought a who's who as far as like- Has this ever been done before though? Has this ever been done in UFC where a fighter came over and made his debut? When I bought out pride, Dan Henderson fought the the champ, fought Rampage in 205. Then he fought,
01:02:07
Speaker
Uh, who would he find at 185? Cause he had to use a double champ. Okay. But not maybe not bought out, but anybody coming from another organization like Bellator or anything like that, that might've got a, as far as Bellator. No, no, no, no. Just any other, any others. But as far as like somebody not bought out. just correct yeah Yeah. Um,
01:02:30
Speaker
I just want to know like kind of how much, out to how often does this happen? Not very often, right? Well, he doesn't have no choice because Panto, Panto just knocked out the whole division. He's putting everybody out. So there's nobody really, you know, Brandon Moreno again. I mean, no one really has figured out, figured out, moved up. So it's like,
01:02:50
Speaker
who's still there that he could fight. So you got to bring in a a big dog, you know, saying, that to right does isn't this is the reason why they want to keep this division around. I mean, um, one championship in, in, in rising kind of has like, you know, kind of the other guys, like this guy's fought manel camp who came over from there and he's fought him twice, lost one and one, one, uh, you know, uh, so this fight is going to be, this guy's, this guy's no joke. He's good. He is good bangers.
01:03:22
Speaker
club ban He's good, but he will be great, and he will beat Potosia. Whoa! It will be by decision. Potosia, I love him to death, but he he gets you get the last few fights. He kind of gasses a little early, and he likes to get caught with punches. And ah you do that with him, you might be going to sleep, okay? You might be speaking Portuguese in his sleep, grabbing a Brazilian, so he'll be out of there.
01:03:49
Speaker
so Yeah, I got, I got, I got Kai winning this. That's the core, all the way. oh
01:04:01
Speaker
ah Let's go. I like that. Um, Pantoja has not had, I know he's a great fighter, but his reign has been uninspiring to say the least. Uh, not very many, uh, you know, like in like when wrestling, when you have a person that just has like a, eh, they had like a so, so title run and you're like, all right, we got to change the belt on him. That's kind of how I feel.
01:04:23
Speaker
uh at this point. So I agree with you. I think this is great bringing in fresh blood from another orientation and putting them up against your best and just letting happen what happened. I think that's that's amazing for uh you know not only USC but just the MMA community in general. Do we need this? We need this and you'll see this because this fight card isn't that great and um again like I had mentioned earlier about boxing uh if you're gonna charge seventy five bucks you better give the people what they want. And it might not be what people want here, but over in Japan, and they want to see their boy. So, you know.
