This week we're going with top five UFC finishes. From there, we're gonna break down the entire UFC 300, the legendary card for this weekend, card of the century. It's gonna be amazing. [00:00:34] Speaker B: Every fight, a main event. [00:00:36] Speaker A: Every fighter really should be a main event here, leading it up to Pereira versus Hill for the light heavyweight title. And we'll wrap it up as usual with stakes and takes. Check out the banner below where you're gonna see all of the website, social links, everything you can follow, like and subscribe at. But yeah, let's kick it off. Let's go. [00:01:02] Speaker B: UFC Vegas 90. It was a card that really. [00:01:07] Speaker A: It was a card, you're right. [00:01:08] Speaker B: Encapsulated our podcast, three split decisions in the main card alone. [00:01:15] Speaker A: It was an interesting fight night for sure. [00:01:17] Speaker B: Interesting fight night. Some interesting judges score cards. Not necessarily wrong judges score cards, but they varied a lot. Main card had a lot going on. A lot. It was a card that, if you're a real die hard fan, you appreciated. But I could see how, if you're not interested, casual fan, and I don't mean casual in a bad way. If you're just a casual fan, I. [00:01:38] Speaker A: Mean casual in a bad way. [00:01:39] Speaker B: You didn't care about this fight card. [00:01:41] Speaker A: No. [00:01:42] Speaker B: With what we're leading up to this week, right. [00:01:44] Speaker A: There was a bunch of lesser known names, but UFC 300 is taking a bunch of fighters off the roster, you know, to be able to fight beforehand. So I kind of get what they had to do. They still put like, what, 1314 fight total card on 14 fights. It was good. Seven fight prelim. It honestly, it gave us a lot of what we expected. You know, we had some knockouts, we had a sub. We had a few unanimous decisions before we get to the, you know, split decisions of the main card, it was strong. You know, Nora Cronola, she left a mess of Melissa Mullen, stopping her three minutes into the second round, she got her by TKO. I mean, that. That's what everybody wants to see. Truthfully, Cesar Almeida was originally supposed to face Josh Frymd, but friend was able to go, unable to go due to his injury. So then we had a. He had about a month, but we saw the mindless Hulk, Dylan Bootka. He made his UFC, UFC debut on quite a notice. [00:02:43] Speaker B: Mindless Hulk. Right in the Hulk. Already mindless. [00:02:47] Speaker A: Not anymore. You've seen some recent movies. He's talking now, Almeida, he was able to put Buka down in two minutes into the second. So not the greatest showing, but it is short notice, like I said. So, you know, he'll have another opportunity to jump back out there. Gene Matsumoto put his undefeated 14 and o record on the line against Dan the determined, our Guetta. And unfortunately, this time the haircut did not work out. Our Guetta was subbed with 1 second left. [00:03:15] Speaker B: Your haircut theory has been kind of iffy lately. [00:03:19] Speaker A: No, it's still good. Oliveira dyed his hair back to blonde. [00:03:23] Speaker B: He does that every fight now. [00:03:24] Speaker A: We're going, we're going deep. So, anywho. But yeah, Matsumoto subbed our getta. He did it with 1 second left in the second. And then the next four fights in the prelims, they closed out. You know how they all had the judges busy yet. Victor Hugo Silva, he defended takedowns well and, you know, he led him his way to a unanimous, unanimous decision victory over Pedro Falco. Norman DuMont put on a ground game clinic to secure her unanimous decision over Jermaine Durandam. [00:04:00] Speaker B: Sorry, I got that money, huh? [00:04:02] Speaker A: Duramini, the remedy. Dun dun duramity. She got six takedowns. Former champ, ten total minutes of control. So very strong performance by Norman DuMont. And then afterwards, Lukas Brezky did all he could to keep his job, defeating Valter Walker, the older brother of Johnny Walker, by unanimous decision. [00:04:25] Speaker B: It was a, it was a weird call. It was a weird fight because Walker kept taking him down, but he wasn't really doing too much right. [00:04:33] Speaker A: Absolutely. [00:04:35] Speaker B: I thought Walker won the fight, but again, he didn't do enough to overwhelmingly win the fight. [00:04:40] Speaker A: You're absolutely right. And then to cap off the prelims, Alex Morono outlasted court McGee going deep on a sub attempt of defending well throughout the fight and doing enough to earn that decision. Unanimous as well on the scorecards. [00:04:55] Speaker B: So that's the prelims. Let's jump to what everybody wants to talk about. That's the main card, specifically the main event. Split decision win for Brendan Allen over Chris Curtis. He got revenge. I wouldn't say it's the revenge he wanted. He came in saying he was going to knock Chris Curtis out and finish the fight early. That didn't happen. As I said, split decision. This fight could have easily gone Chris Curtis's way without anything else happening. The judges could have gave it to Chris Curtis and you couldn't really complain about that. I mean, but Brendan Allen got the win. Um, what do you think about the fight? [00:05:27] Speaker A: I mean, exactly like what you're saying. Leaving it up to the judges is not really ever what you want to do. And it's not how Brendan Allen wanted to. [00:05:35] Speaker B: As much as a hot streak as he's been on lately, it was kind of a disappointing performance, in my opinion, for Brendan Allen. [00:05:40] Speaker A: Look, he got. [00:05:41] Speaker B: It wasn't. It wasn't a fight where he comes in and it's like, that's guy's close to a title shot, right? He obviously is because of his ranking and he got the win. But it's like that wasn't an overwhelming, like, impressive performance. [00:05:53] Speaker A: You're absolutely right. I mean, looking at it right here, Chris Curtis had more significant strikes while Brendan Allen did take him down six times. He had a total of six minutes of ground control, which means most of the time, Chris Curtis was getting right back up. No official sub attempt. [00:06:10] Speaker B: Six minutes of ground control is a good amount of time. [00:06:12] Speaker A: That's through five rounds. [00:06:13] Speaker B: That's still a good amount of time for 25. [00:06:15] Speaker A: I'm sorry. Through those three. Five rounds, it's. It is a good amount of time, but when you're talking about securing six takedowns, you're only averaging 1 minute per at that point. It's kind of like what you said. It's not the showing we're used to seeing from Brendan Allen. And maybe that's just to say that Chris Curtis is that good. You know, I think that Brendan Allen did do enough wins up well with. [00:06:36] Speaker B: Brennan Allen at the very least. [00:06:37] Speaker A: Yeah, he did rock Brennan Allen again. He didn't, you know, didn't get to finish it like he did last time. [00:06:43] Speaker B: And then, honestly, Chris Kurt, Brendan Allen over. You probably say he won the fight in the last, like half of the fifth round. [00:06:50] Speaker A: Yeah. That hamstring injury, it was when Chris. [00:06:52] Speaker B: Curtis literally tore his hamstring and he couldn't really. That's when Brendan Allen really had his best performance on the feet. But regardless, Brendan Allen won the fight. Keeps his streak alive. He's still a top. He was number six in this fight. He's probably going to be a top five fighter. [00:07:08] Speaker A: Yeah, I have to imagine so, at. [00:07:09] Speaker B: The end of the day, he didn't hurt his stock at all. It just wasn't the overwhelming performance it. [00:07:15] Speaker A: Could have been right that we or that we've seen leading up to this. [00:07:19] Speaker B: Leading up to it. [00:07:20] Speaker A: His call out was Dreykus, of course. [00:07:23] Speaker B: I think he's quite ready for that. I would like to see. He was originally supposed to fight Marvin Vittor. Vittori. Vittori. I would like to see that fight happen. Cause I think that would be a good, good matchup between two. [00:07:33] Speaker A: I could see that happening. Outside of that, I think a rematch with Sean Strickland, you know, Strickland losing the title, being up there in the rankings, the Tories friend, the Tory backing out and then just talking shit after backing out isn't, you know, isn't a great look. [00:07:52] Speaker B: Injuries an injury, though? [00:07:54] Speaker A: No, I'm just saying it's not a great look whenever, like, you didn't fight so the guy's just not gonna bother with you. They normally don't just reschedule the guy who got injured to somebody, especially if they won, you know? [00:08:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I agree. [00:08:06] Speaker A: So I think. I think you're likely to get a Sean Strickland rematch before for a Vittoria fight. Realistically. I also got Nasr Dean Imov, you know, a big ground game guy who, you know, he's coming off of a kind of the same, you know, similar style performance. You know, a lot of ground game work with some, you know, forced mixture of the hands in there. I think one of those three would be a great option. But, you know, what do you think? [00:08:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I would like to see the Vittoria as I said, or I wouldn't mind seeing Sean Strickland and then even Chris Curtis. Sean Strickland even said it. Why not run this back a third time? Yeah, you got it after he knocked you out once you split decision them. [00:08:47] Speaker A: And they both see both coming in when. [00:08:50] Speaker B: But Chris notice, right. Torn Hammy, right. [00:08:55] Speaker A: Give him a full camp of a scheduled fight. That could be something that could take place. Let's move on the co main. [00:09:00] Speaker B: Another split decision. [00:09:01] Speaker A: Damon the leech, Jackson getting back in the win column over Anthony Hernandez. Honestly, I don't think this should have. [00:09:09] Speaker B: Been a split decision. I think Jackson, I think he won the first two rounds. I think Hernandez probably won the third round. [00:09:16] Speaker A: I mean, giving the Hernandez the. The one judge thirties, 27. Hernandez, crazy, right? I think if you're gonna give anything, any, anything to. Hernandez is 29, 28, just like Damon won the two rounds he won or the two scorecards he won on. I disagree wholeheartedly with the first judge. [00:09:34] Speaker B: There, but it was a good rebound for the leech, as you said, it was ended his little losing streak kind of got back in the win column, got some momentum back. And it was one where he now. [00:09:45] Speaker A: Look at the striking. [00:09:46] Speaker B: Got better as the fight went on and he controlled the fight on the ground and on the fence. [00:09:51] Speaker A: Right. That's the difference from what we didn't see out of Brendan Allen, we had three takedowns from Damon Jackson, six minutes of control time. So when he took him down, he held them there. He stayed heavy. Hernandez had trouble getting up at the very least. You know, I know it's a different fight, but that's what we were used to seeing out of Brendan Allen, and that's what we kind of saw out of Damon Jackson. You know, he controlled it on the ground, like you said. [00:10:15] Speaker B: And he lived up to his nickname, the Leech, because he was just on him. [00:10:18] Speaker A: Yeah, he stayed on him. And then, like you said, his striking got better as the fight went on. [00:10:22] Speaker B: Got dropped in the third round, but he rebounded pretty nice. That's the reason I give the third round probably to Hernandez, because he dropped him, but he still ended up getting another takedown that round. Jackson, that is the leech. [00:10:32] Speaker A: Yep. [00:10:33] Speaker B: But, yeah, overall, good performance from the leech. Honestly, not a bad performance from Hernandez either. But it was. Both of them came into this desperately needing a win. [00:10:43] Speaker A: Yes. [00:10:43] Speaker B: And the leech is the one that came out with the dope. [00:10:45] Speaker A: So he didn't call anybody out, but he wanted to be more active, right? [00:10:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it. [00:10:51] Speaker A: So at his guy, you get back. [00:10:53] Speaker B: In the win column like that, that's. [00:10:55] Speaker A: All you can hope for. Yeah. [00:10:56] Speaker B: You're just like, give me another fight. Give me another. I need to get out there again. [00:10:58] Speaker A: So I got three options that are all, you know, right around his age. He's 35. [00:11:03] Speaker B: That's. [00:11:04] Speaker A: That's another big thing that they like to do. They don't want to necessarily put the 35 year old against raul rosa junior, you know, the 19 year old. They give him vets, vets, vets. A lot of the times I pick danny gay for a rematch. Danny gay previously beat him. Although it's probably a little too soon for a rebound. But, you know, we can see it. Josh Emmett or giga chikaze, one of those three. [00:11:30] Speaker B: I think all three of those are a little above where he needs to go, honestly. They very well could be, but especially josh Emmett. [00:11:37] Speaker A: Josh Emmett is a powerhouse. [00:11:39] Speaker B: Completely came out, and he destroyed Bryce Mitchell. [00:11:42] Speaker A: Yeah. But anyway, wrestler versus striker, it would be an. It would be an interesting showing. I think damon jackson might be able to hold on for a little bit longer. [00:11:50] Speaker B: I think if you're damon jackson, you, the leads, you're taking, any fight they offer you really, at this point, and you're just trying to prove to them, like, I'm. I'm here, I'm here, and I'm here to stay. [00:11:59] Speaker A: All right, another split decision. [00:12:01] Speaker B: Another split decision. And another one that, honestly, the judges were all over the score. Scorecard. Marisa got the dub over a shashery one. Judge had it 30 27 shashery. [00:12:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:14] Speaker B: Which, honestly, looking at the fight, each round was close enough where it could have gone that way. I honestly had it two rounds to one sashery. But the way each round was going, it could have gone either way. I don't think Shasher can be that upset with the loss. [00:12:29] Speaker A: And looking at the odds pre fight, you know, it was a very close odds. I think it was -110 plus 110, something like that. It was so close that this is kind of the fight you expected. You expected to be a close fight. [00:12:41] Speaker B: It was two competing styles, too, because it was obviously Marisa. His game plan was volume takedown attempts. [00:12:47] Speaker A: Right. [00:12:47] Speaker B: And Shashary, from the get go, he showed pretty good takedown defense. [00:12:52] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, he. [00:12:52] Speaker B: He showed. He was probably the more comfortable guy, like, with a pure striking match. [00:12:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:58] Speaker B: But because of Marisol's style, where it's take down everything, he had the ugly striking, but it ended up being pretty effective. [00:13:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, to your credit, he only. Marisol did only secure one out of eight. Eight takedowns. He made this the most out of it. You know, making it through most of the round with that one. But to your credit, you know, it was a clash of styles, but they. They worked well, and it was a. [00:13:23] Speaker B: Back and forth, whereas a pretty entertaining fight. [00:13:25] Speaker A: It was. [00:13:26] Speaker B: Both guys I don't think can be disappointed with their performance. Both guys could have realistically won the fight without anything different happening. But Marisol gets the win. He gets the dub on the scorecards. I don't think you complain about it. [00:13:41] Speaker A: I don't as well. So Marisol called out Bryce Mitchell. He lost to him in January or June of 2017. [00:13:49] Speaker B: I think that would be a good call up. Bryce needs a. He needs a step down, and not that Marisol is a step down in competition, but compared to, like, Josh Emmett. [00:13:57] Speaker A: Right on top or top five, top ten opponent that you're walking into the fire every day, he, Josh, Bryce Mitchell just got beat, what, twice in a row now? And the most recent one was terrifying. [00:14:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Where he thanked Josh Emmett for saving his life, for not punching him again. [00:14:14] Speaker A: Right. It's absolutely, you know, crazy. Or Fernando Padilla, maybe yusuf zalal, any one of those three outside of Bryce, Bryce Mitchell being his call out. Do you like any of those options? [00:14:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I like pretty much any of them. I think Mariska he's a guy that, he's on the up and up. He's in a good camp. I think he fights in the same camp with. I think it was Gaethje. [00:14:37] Speaker A: Yep. [00:14:37] Speaker B: So he's from. He's a Colorado guy. This was a good win for him. I think the sky's the limit. He has options, and he's a guy that if he gets a couple more wins, he could kind of start sniffing around the rankings. [00:14:47] Speaker A: Yeah, I'd say what, who's is Ignacio Bahamandez, your favorite fighter on this card? [00:14:53] Speaker B: He was. It was my favorite fight to watch. Definitely. [00:14:56] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, that. I mean, a round one head kick knockout over Christos Gillagos is definitely what any casual fan or anything at all wants to see. Fight. [00:15:06] Speaker B: Quick start where both guys were just firing, too. And it was, if you kind of know what you're watching, it was a. [00:15:14] Speaker A: Little obvious that Gagos was gonna do that. [00:15:17] Speaker B: He was a little out of control. Baja Mandez was a little more measured. It took him probably like a minute to find his range. Once he found his range, it was over. You could see it was about to happen. [00:15:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:28] Speaker B: He was so much longer. He knew how to use his jab, knew how to use his kicks, obviously. And I mean, as you said, it ended with a spectacular head kick knockout where he fell back and he hit his head on the fence. He got kicked so hard. [00:15:42] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. It was a. I mean, immediately stop it. He didn't follow up with anything. [00:15:46] Speaker B: No follow up needed huge respect there. [00:15:49] Speaker A: But, yeah, it was a great performance by Bahaman. [00:15:51] Speaker B: I think it was the best performance of the night. The most memorable and through. [00:15:55] Speaker A: Yeah, definitely. I. Outside of, you know, any, like, underdogs winning or anything, it was probably like the cleanest performance out of all. [00:16:03] Speaker B: Like, if you watch this whole fight card, besides obviously, the main events. Cause the two biggest names, the thing you're gonna remember the most is about right. [00:16:13] Speaker A: And then moving on to the main card opener, Trevor Peak versus Charlie Campbell. [00:16:21] Speaker B: This was the unanimous decision win for Campbell. That. I think this one could have been a split decision. [00:16:25] Speaker A: It could have been. I think they got it right on this one. [00:16:28] Speaker B: I think they did get it right. I think Campbell did win the fight. [00:16:30] Speaker A: But he's got a goddamn chin, p Scott. [00:16:33] Speaker B: A chin. [00:16:33] Speaker A: Not only is it strong, charges forward. Not only is it strong, but if you look at him, he's got a, like, massive jaw. Like, it is gigantic. [00:16:41] Speaker B: I had the scorecard as Campbell winning the first and third round. I think Peak won the second, probably, but as you said, I mean, he was just. He was getting hit. He was just moving forward. He was hitting. I mean, you got to give Campbell credit, too. He has a pretty good chin to. [00:16:56] Speaker A: Yeah, Campbell came out strong. He was the underdog coming in. He did every single thing he needed to do. Like I said before, when peak, you know, was able to secure takedowns, he wins. He was able to secure a couple, but Campbell rebounded off of them better than anybody that peaked has fought in UFC. You know, it. It's the way he kind of fought through that adversity that, in my eyes, makes me agree with the unanimous decision for Charlie Campbell. Yeah. [00:17:26] Speaker B: Overall, just an impressive performance from Campbell. This is a nice win for him. Trevor Peak, you can rebound from this. It wasn't a horrible performance. You can come back. But Campbell, I think I agree with you. He was the. Could have been a split decision. It was close. I think it was as close as some of the ones that ruled the split decision. [00:17:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:41] Speaker B: But I think Campbell was the winner. [00:17:43] Speaker A: And his call out was Dave Portnoy, Barstool Sports. He just wants to meet him and talk to him and meet miss Peaches. So that's his call out. I hope he gets it. [00:17:53] Speaker B: Me, too. [00:18:02] Speaker A: Top five. [00:18:02] Speaker B: This week, in honor of UFC 300, we're going back to the OG top. Top five themes of UFC themes. And I think it's appropriate for the 300th pay per view to have top five UFC finishes. It's the thing everybody remembers. Even if you don't like the UFC, you don't watch the UFC. [00:18:23] Speaker A: The surest number is finishes. [00:18:25] Speaker B: You sure as hell have seen some of these finishes. [00:18:27] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's. That's a better way to say it for sure. [00:18:30] Speaker B: But I think it's your pick first, so you get the honor of picking the number one. Your top five UFC finish. Again, a finish. In case this is your first episode, you don't know the UFC very well. Finishes either a knockout or a submission. I guess a doctor stoppage could be technical. [00:18:48] Speaker A: What about a DQ? [00:18:50] Speaker B: DQ. First pick. Al Joe. Peter Yan won and then it pretty much ended. [00:18:57] Speaker A: Peter Yan's run. [00:18:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it did. [00:19:00] Speaker A: Damn. Devastating knee. [00:19:02] Speaker B: R I P. Yeah, but he ever would have known, right? [00:19:07] Speaker A: Yeah. No, my first pick, I'm going with a classic. You go up on YouTube and you search UFC 278, Leon Edwards versus Kamaru Usman. Two. [00:19:18] Speaker B: Awfully specific of a search. [00:19:21] Speaker A: The head kick knockout is fifth round. He was down the whole fight. It's the. The true, like, rocky type of thing, you know, that come from behind. You know, the little man won. [00:19:34] Speaker B: I mean, at that point, I think Usman had like, he had four rounds. [00:19:38] Speaker A: Four and a half rounds. [00:19:39] Speaker B: We had like six or seven title differences, too. He was like foller of his. Unbeatable. [00:19:43] Speaker A: Still regarded as the best in his division ever. And now he's, you know, in another welterweight. Yeah. Welterweight fighting, which is crazy, but yeah, you know, 278. The fifth, 5th round head kick knockout. The finish by Leon Edwards. [00:19:57] Speaker B: That's my first pick in terms of significance. It's probably the biggest head kick knockout in UFC history. [00:20:04] Speaker A: Right. It's. It's one of those that, you know. [00:20:06] Speaker B: To win the title like that. [00:20:07] Speaker A: Changed hands of the belt. [00:20:09] Speaker B: Change hands. Now Leon looks like a dominant. [00:20:12] Speaker A: Leon's been, you know, defending the belt. Well, it's. [00:20:15] Speaker B: That's a good pick. I can't argue with that pay. It's a good. Nice pick. [00:20:19] Speaker A: It's hard to just said it right before we click the button. But, you know, when I picked it, because when. When I think about a UFC finish, that. That clip is just ingrained. I remember watching it live and just seeing it just freaking out. You know, I'm saying, like, it's a great finish. It's how. If you could picture any fight going, it. It's up there with how you would want it to end, you know, to come from behind. Last second victory. [00:20:48] Speaker B: I agree with you, and I like that pick and my number one pick. I'm kind of going with the same theme as you as when I think of a UFC finish. Which finish do I think of? [00:20:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:57] Speaker B: And I'm going to go with the quickest knockout in UFC history. It's made me a fan of the guy. It's George Masvidal. The six second knockout of Ben Askren. [00:21:05] Speaker A: That is definitely on my list. [00:21:06] Speaker B: It was one of the most brutal knockouts. This was UFC 239 anybody's ever seen. I don't think anybody. When it happened, you couldn't even. You don't even know what you just saw. [00:21:16] Speaker A: That wasn't one that you sit there and you're screaming and cheering for victory. That's one where your mouth is hanging. [00:21:22] Speaker B: What the fuck just happened? [00:21:23] Speaker A: And you're just speechless. There's. I remember that as well. [00:21:28] Speaker B: Ben Askren laying on the ground motionless. [00:21:30] Speaker A: And then taking the couple after the fact. [00:21:32] Speaker B: Taking a couple. They had a little beef going in, so Masvidal gave him a little couple after. I mean, it launched Masvidal from kind of a journeyman vet to, like, a. [00:21:42] Speaker A: Superstar because of that knockout, and it retired Ben Askren. Yeah. [00:21:47] Speaker B: Retired. Well, he caught. I think he fought one or two more times. I said he was just never the same. [00:21:51] Speaker A: It's. It's as if he. He was shell shocked from. [00:21:54] Speaker B: It literally became a joke after that. Then goes and gets knocked out by Jake Paul in boxing. [00:21:58] Speaker A: Does it clearly for the bag. [00:22:00] Speaker B: I mean, if you watch any UFC card, they have. They always have a little montage before the. The fight start that's up there. This is always gonna be one of the ones that shot there. It is always shown up there. It's always will be shown up there. 6 seconds. You can watch the whole fight. I mean, John Anik wasn't even out of. He was still talking about Modelo as the sponsor when he. When the knockout. [00:22:20] Speaker A: Yeah. And then he just starts screaming everybody. I mean, it is a crazy. You're right. It is a crazy, crazy knockout. Crazy finish. Yeah. [00:22:29] Speaker B: So, that's my number one, UFC 239. Mosby to Oliver. Ask her in 6 seconds. My number two. This is my guest pick. This is from my beautiful girlfriend, Clara. [00:22:37] Speaker A: She. I gave her the task of finding a finish. [00:22:41] Speaker B: I told her the theme. I tell her the theme every week. She gave me her pick, and I think she knocked it out of the park. She gave one of the best picks, one of the ones that everybody knows. [00:22:49] Speaker A: Okay. Okay, let's hear it. [00:22:50] Speaker B: It's gonna be UFC 194. [00:22:52] Speaker A: Ooh, that's a McGregor fight. [00:22:55] Speaker B: Conor McGregor, 13 seconds. Jose Aldo knocks him out. It's the one where the double champ. No, this was his first champ. [00:23:02] Speaker A: Oh, the first one. [00:23:03] Speaker B: First undisputed champ. But it was the one where Conor McGregor, he was a superstar. Cause all the shit he talked, and it was the one that legitimized him as the champ. Sorry, we had a little technical difficulties with some dogs getting in here, but. [00:23:19] Speaker A: There'S a stampede of dogs ran through just now. [00:23:21] Speaker B: Clara's pick, Conor McGregor over Jose Aldo, as I said, is the one that legitimized Conor McGregor as, like, not only a great shit talker and a entertainer, but, like, he's a champ, and he's a legitimate. [00:23:34] Speaker A: The real superstar. [00:23:35] Speaker B: He's the real deal. [00:23:36] Speaker A: No, you're right. And I mean, that. [00:23:38] Speaker B: And it was 13 seconds is a lot like the Mazvidal one, where it was like, what the fuck just happened? At that point, Jose Aldo was thought of as, like, unbeatable. [00:23:45] Speaker A: Right? And you're sitting there now on the canvas 20 seconds into the fight. It's. [00:23:50] Speaker B: It was incredible. [00:23:51] Speaker A: What is this? Yeah, that is a great. [00:23:53] Speaker B: It's always gonna be the one where, like, when you look back at Conor McGregor's career, it's the one that's like. That's his, like, defining highlight. [00:24:00] Speaker A: Yeah, it's one that put him out there, put him on the map for the household name. You know, like, if a Mike Tyson or ho, Josie Aldo type. That's a good pick for sure. [00:24:11] Speaker B: So what's your number two pick? [00:24:13] Speaker A: I'm gonna go with one personal favorite ko of mine. It's a brutal Kobe. It's one of those classics. It's another one that, when you think of a UFC finish, it's. It's one of those ingrained in your head. UFC 218, Nganu versus Omari Overem. [00:24:35] Speaker B: Oh, I had that one on my list. [00:24:37] Speaker A: The uppercut from heaven. [00:24:39] Speaker B: I literally thought he knocked over him's head off. [00:24:42] Speaker A: I thought it was the first time in my life I was gonna see a death on live tv and they were gonna, like, pull the plug on the camera or something. I don't understand how you recover from that. But it's just one of those that if you think. If you're a fan of the UFC, you definitely know about it. If you're a casual of the UFC, there's a good chance you've probably seen. [00:25:02] Speaker B: That, because it's Francis and Ghana's probably most violent knockout. [00:25:05] Speaker A: And if you're just getting into the. [00:25:06] Speaker B: UFC, go watch that. [00:25:08] Speaker A: You need to see it because it'll cement what you're going to be looking for every fight for the foreseeable future. UFC 218 and Ganu versus overem. [00:25:18] Speaker B: I love that pic. I had it on my list. Francis and Ghana. His knockout, like, him punching people, is one of the most fun things to watch. [00:25:25] Speaker A: They said he has, like, the punching power of, like, a Ford fiesta or something. Like an actual vehicle. I believe it after watching it. [00:25:32] Speaker B: Look what? Over him? Got hit in the face by Ford Fiesta. [00:25:36] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. Take. Take one of those on the chin and walk away. Alistair over him. You're a man for that. I go for my number two, my number three. Damn, there's so many good picks. So many good finishes. I gotta go. Another classic. UFC 274. Michael Chandler front kick. Tko over Tony Ferguson. [00:26:03] Speaker B: I had this on my list, too. It was. Again, it's one of those ones where you. You remember what he changed. [00:26:08] Speaker A: The structure of his face, the slow. [00:26:11] Speaker B: Mo, or, like, the shot of Tony Ferguson's face as the kick's landing is incredible. Look at the same person. [00:26:16] Speaker A: Yeah. Once again, if you're a hardcore MMA fan, you definitely know about it. If you're a casual. There's a good chance you've seen it. It's also a recent one, so it's not like you're trying to go back to UFC 79, you know, looking for the greatest highlight that never exists. You're looking for something in the past four years. You know, this is a recent KO. It slept. It just. I mean, Tony Ferguson took that foot to the chin and just dropped. Yeah, it cemented Michael Chandler, like, the reason why he came over. You know, he is the real deal. That's why he's still in the top 15, and he's a force to be reckoned with consistently. But, yeah. UFC 274, Chandler over. [00:26:57] Speaker B: I like that. Picking up. I had it on my list as well. So my number three pick, I'm gonna. I'm gonna take the first submission, I think. [00:27:06] Speaker A: I didn't put a single submission on here. [00:27:08] Speaker B: I'm gonna take the first submission. My last pick was McGregor. It's the one that put him as a superstar. The next one I'm picking was his very next fight, and it's the one that put Nate Diaz as a superstar. UFC 196. Nate Diaz chokes out Conor McGregor, gets Conor McGregor to tap. At that point, Conor McGregor was thought of as unbeatable. Nate Diaz was thought of as just like, yeah, he's good, but he's a journeyman. [00:27:32] Speaker A: Nate Diaz shocked the world. [00:27:34] Speaker B: He withstood Conor's barrage early on and said, fuck. Literally said, fuck you. You're not knocking me out. I'm going to be here to the end. You're not going to be here to the end. [00:27:42] Speaker A: That's exactly right. [00:27:44] Speaker B: And Nate Diaz choked him out. It was an incredible win, one of the most famous wins of all time. It made Conor McGregor human. [00:27:50] Speaker A: That's a great way to put it, making Conor McGregor human, because that was the first taste of the spotlight, not being on him, even coming into the UFC. [00:28:00] Speaker B: And even after the fight, it was the first time you saw him as, like, he was actually humble because he was like, yeah, you know, I gotta. [00:28:04] Speaker A: Yeah, you saw the breaking character for the first time because he didn't have to say, like, fuck you. [00:28:09] Speaker B: Yeah, I beat the shit out of you, just like I said I was gonna. Diaz was already a big star, but that's the one that put him as, like, a legitimate superstar, I think. [00:28:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I would say Nick was bigger before that. [00:28:19] Speaker B: Before that. Then once you beat Conor McGregor, it's like you're there forever again, choking out Conor McGregor. 196. That's my number three pick. And now my number four pick. I'm going to go. It was another. Much like the last one was kind of beating the person and like your first pick, right? Beating the person that was thought of as unbeatable. My number four pick is going to be Holly Holm knocking out Ronda Rousey. UFC again. I had 194. I had 196. This is UFC 195. Ronda Rousey was unbeatable. Like nobody came even close to touching her. Holly Holm comes in, head, kicks her, makes Ronda Rousey look uncomfortable. Even before the knockout, she was winning the fight and making Ronda Rousey look like nobody else had made her look before. [00:29:03] Speaker A: Came in as the underdog came in as the underdog. [00:29:05] Speaker B: And honestly just schooled Ronda Rousey. A memorable ko. It's one that if you're a UFC fan you've been watching for even the smallest amount of times, you've most definitely seen, kind of ended Ronda Rousey. She had one more fight after that where she got brutally ko'd again. [00:29:21] Speaker A: And then she hung it up. [00:29:22] Speaker B: Then she hung it up. Put Holly Holm as the champ for a long time. It was in Australia. It was the most attended UFC event until they went back to Australia and did another stadium. [00:29:33] Speaker A: But Holly Holm, I didn't know that. [00:29:35] Speaker B: Ronda Rousey 195. It was an incredible knockout. [00:29:39] Speaker A: That is an incredible knockout for sure that that one will just like the Masvidal askren knockout. That one's always. [00:29:47] Speaker B: It's always in that highlight reel. [00:29:48] Speaker A: In the highlight. [00:29:49] Speaker B: One to two minute, really, which I'm not. [00:29:51] Speaker A: I'm not mad about. I. I'm never walking away during that. I love seeing the finishes. But yeah, that's. That's a very respectable pick. Picking a bunch from sub UFC 200. I like it. I have for my fourth pick a fight night. Fighting UFC fight Night 179. This is when Joaquin Buckley head demolished. [00:30:17] Speaker B: I'm wearing the fight island shirt right now. [00:30:19] Speaker A: Yeah, that was one of the fight island fight cards. He demolished Impa casing, Casanaga gaga. [00:30:26] Speaker B: Nay from pure just entertainment with no. Because the other ones are like for titles and all kind of stuff and big fights. But pure straight up. Take the context out. Just knockout. It was probably the most impressive knockout. [00:30:41] Speaker A: Yeah, it sucks that this was a prelim. Fighters like this. Not sucks. It's awesome. [00:30:46] Speaker B: He won like night. [00:30:47] Speaker A: Yeah, but it was a prelim of a fight night and he just. And in. I mean, the dude went completely rock solid. Stiff. [00:30:54] Speaker B: Fell back holding one leg, spin. Kicked him with the other leg. [00:30:57] Speaker A: It was a beautiful knockout. Another. I mean, everything on this list, you gotta go check out the highlights of. Because you could just watch them on repeat. They're just so. Such great finishes. Joaquin Buckley over Impa. Kasanganai. Kasanganay. One of the two. Either way, beautiful head kick. Knockout. [00:31:19] Speaker B: It's not a bad pick. I like that pick. I had it on my list again, from pure, out of context, just watching. Knockout is probably the most impressive one. [00:31:28] Speaker A: And then my fifth pick, I'm going with a personal favorite. UFC 257. [00:31:35] Speaker B: Oh. [00:31:36] Speaker A: Poirier, TKO, and Conor McGregor. This is not the leg kick where it's like, oh, you know, you only won because of the injury. No, this is when he knocked out bald Connor. He knocked out bald Connor. I'll take it every time we get it. Cause that. That makes. That put Poirier and cemented Poirier's entire legacy with that one fight. You know, all the losses he's ever. [00:31:59] Speaker B: Had, he got back the win over McGregor. [00:32:01] Speaker A: He got back the win and then doubled it. You know, every loss he's ever had, he. He overcame them all with that one victory over McGregor. He. Like you said, he beat the once. Thought of as unbeatable. Knocking out McGregor was, you know, a lifetime accomplishment, lifetime achievement. He should get an award for that. [00:32:20] Speaker B: Probably one of my favorite knockouts ever just because of how much I like Poirier. I can't even. Can't even hate on you on this one. [00:32:27] Speaker A: This. I don't think this is a hate draft. [00:32:28] Speaker B: This is not a hate draft. [00:32:30] Speaker A: You know, we're just having fun talking finishes, man. So what's your fifth pick? [00:32:35] Speaker B: My fifth pick? I'm gonna go sub. You sub. UFC 200 again. And I'm going another submission again. All right, this is from the goat, Jon Jones, UFC 140. He had the standing choke out of Leota Machida, where he just chokes him out. Ref stops him, and. And he just drops him on the. [00:32:52] Speaker A: Ground and his body falls limp. Like a dead body falls. [00:32:55] Speaker B: It was. It was like, peak. Jon Jones, it was early in his title run, but it was like, right when he was like, holy shit, this dude's unbeatable. It was a legend at the time. Machida at the time. Machida is still a legend, but Machida. [00:33:06] Speaker A: He was a living, living legend. [00:33:08] Speaker B: Still, like, in his prime. I mean, it was one of the most impressive. It's, again, one of the highlights you see a lot. [00:33:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:16] Speaker B: If you watch Jon Jones highlights, this is most definitely, like, one of the top ones he's gonna have, but, yeah, Jon Jones, just the image of him dropping the limp body of a legend on the ground was like, holy shit. [00:33:30] Speaker A: Yeah, no kidding. That. That definitely one of those, like, shocking knockouts where it's like, oh, what just happened? Yeah, I need to rewatch this 75 times real quick so I can grasp every angle of it. [00:33:43] Speaker B: So those are top five UFC finishes. Let's recap real quick. Alex, I'm gonna start first. My number one was Masvidal Askren flying the 239. UFC 239. My number two was my guest pick from Clara. Conor McGregor 13, 2nd knockout of Jose Aldo, UFC 194. [00:34:00] Speaker A: Good job, Clara. Finding. I know, like, one of the finish. [00:34:05] Speaker B: My number three was Nate Diaz submitting Conor McGregor. UFC 196. Number four, Holly Holm knocking out Ronda Rousey. UFC 195. And my fifth pick, Jon Jones, the standing choke out of Liotta Machida. UFC 140. [00:34:21] Speaker A: I love that list. My list. Number one, UFC 278 Usman versus Edwards. Two. That was the fifth round head kick. Knockout number two, UFC 218 Nganu versus overem. The uppercut that ended it all. UFC 274 Chandler versus Ferguson, front kick, UFC fight Night 179 Buckley versus Cassandra. I think that was the best way I've ever said that. And the fifth pick, UFC 257. My personal favorite, Poirier Koing bald McGregor. [00:35:07] Speaker B: Fight card of the century, UFC 300 this weekend, and we're gonna do something I don't think we've ever done before, Alex. We're gonna go through every fight of. [00:35:15] Speaker A: The card, every single one. [00:35:17] Speaker B: As Dana White said, and I agree with him, every one of these fights could be a main event, at least of a fight night. [00:35:25] Speaker A: Yeah, definitely of main event caliber. I wholeheartedly agree with that. Looking at the first, the first fight on the early prelims, that's starting our time at what, like 07:00 p.m.. 05:00? Oh, 05:00. Okay, our con. Fun. Our time. Time, 05:00. Davis and Figueiredo. [00:35:46] Speaker B: I mean, you have a former champ opening the card. [00:35:48] Speaker A: That's ridiculous. [00:35:49] Speaker B: Two former champs opening. [00:35:50] Speaker A: Cody Garbrandt, he's had his. His own share of impressive performances. [00:35:54] Speaker B: Yeah, two former champs. Figueiredo. Eleven wins, three losses, one draw in the UFC. He's two, two and one in his last five fights. [00:36:03] Speaker A: But I hate caveat is for. [00:36:05] Speaker B: Those are against Brandon Marino. [00:36:07] Speaker A: It's not even that I don't like talking about Figuerato. It's that he's good. He just spent four years of his life fighting one person. [00:36:14] Speaker B: Same thing with Moreno. It's like, yeah, right? And then Cody Garbrandt, who's nine and five in the UFC, two straight wins. After losing six out of seven, he was the champ. Lost six out of seven fights. He's one two in a row. [00:36:25] Speaker A: So hard. [00:36:26] Speaker B: Fell hard. So he, is he getting momentum back? It looked like he may be. He's still somehow only 32 years old, which is crazy. But these are two guys that, the way they fight, they're going to come out, they're going to open this main card with a bang. [00:36:41] Speaker A: Yeah. And they're going to come out swinging. [00:36:43] Speaker B: One of these guys are going to get knocked out, I think, the way they fight. I think one of these guys can get knocked out. Figuerato, this is his second fight at 135. [00:36:52] Speaker A: Yep, that's what I was going to say. He handled Rob font. [00:36:55] Speaker B: The way he handled Raphael was very impressive. A lot of people had doubts about him moving up, and he kind of, because Raph font's a tough fight, but I get it. [00:37:03] Speaker A: He's like my height. He's like 5556. He's not a very tall guy. [00:37:07] Speaker B: You know, it's going to be weird. You know, you're small when you're going to fight Cody Garbrandt, and he has three inches in height on you. [00:37:13] Speaker A: Yeah. Because Carter Garb, Cody Garbrandt seems like a big guy in this fight, and he's not a very, like, in the scale of all people, he's not a big guy. But, yeah, I think, personally, what's gonna happen on this fight, I think it's gonna be a lot of what we've seen in the last fight with Figuerato against font, you know, he's gonna, he's gonna control him on the ground. He's gonna do the necessary work. [00:37:38] Speaker B: Now, Cody Garbrandt, he's a, he's a college wrestler. [00:37:41] Speaker A: I know he's, he can score his takedowns to keep it even, but I just think that Figuerato has been doing this at a very high level for a long time. And I think the, the benefit of him gaining weight to fight, not cutting weight, is he's just going to have more power. And I think he showed that with Rob font, where he, you know, he. Rob font's a bigger guy, and he was just kind of ragdolling him. [00:38:04] Speaker B: That is true. And one theme of this whole card, which is evident in this first fight, is former champs. Champs and former champs. Both of these guys, former champs. Both these guys know how to win. I tend to agree with you. I think figurative is in a better place in his career, despite him being four years older. I think Figuerato comes out. I think it's gonna be a very entertaining fight. It's gonna be one that. It's gonna put butts in the seat at 05:00 our time, whatever time it is in Vegas. [00:38:30] Speaker A: I think it's 03:00 people are gonna be there. That place is gonna be packed from the. From the first fight on, and I. [00:38:37] Speaker B: Think Figueiredo puts on a show. I think Figuerato gets the win over Cody Garbrandt. [00:38:41] Speaker A: I agree, and so does my kid. [00:38:45] Speaker B: There you go. Let's move on to the next fight. Two vets, a 37 year old Bobby Green. 31 wins, 15 losses, one draw, one no contest. He has twelve wins, ten losses, one draw, one no contest in the UFC. So batting right about 500. [00:38:59] Speaker A: Yep. [00:38:59] Speaker B: And he's taken on the ultimate vet, the 40 year old Jim Miller. 26 UFC wins, 26 wins, 16 losses, one draw. That's raised most all time in the UFC. Both guys have seemed to have found, like, a rebound later in their career. Jim Miller's won two fights in a row. He's actually looking good with two straight finishes. Bobby Green did lose his last fight kind of in devastating fashion. [00:39:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it was a bad, but honestly. [00:39:28] Speaker B: It wasn't devastating fashion in the fact that he got knocked out that bad. [00:39:31] Speaker A: It's just bad to get. It was knocked out. [00:39:33] Speaker B: Well, it was bad only because the ref let it get bad. It should have been stopped way before, and he just kept getting. [00:39:38] Speaker A: Kept getting teed off on by Jalen Turner. [00:39:41] Speaker B: Kept getting teed off on. But Jim Miller, I mean, he is. I think, obviously, at this point, he's a fan favorite. The way he's been fighting lately is. Yep, nothing short of inspiring. He's a 40 year old dude out there finishing dudes. [00:39:53] Speaker A: Yeah, he won at UFC 100. He won it, UFC 200. And I think he has a legitimate. [00:39:59] Speaker B: Shot to win a UFC 300, even. [00:40:01] Speaker A: Though he's a slight underdog. He's coming in at plus 150. I think he's gonna do what he has to do, and I think he's gonna win at UFC 300. I think he's gonna take home the trifecta, probably. I don't even want to say retire. [00:40:16] Speaker B: I don't think he's looking too good right now. [00:40:18] Speaker A: I I would like to see him retire if he wins, but I don't think he will. [00:40:22] Speaker B: I'm picking Jim Miller, too. I think he gets his third straight finish in this. [00:40:26] Speaker A: I think he's. He's gonna do great with this performance. I think he's coming out strong, and I think he's going to be, you know, ready to swang on Bobby king Green. [00:40:35] Speaker B: All right, let's move on. Third fight of the night in the early prelims. Still another former champ, Jessica Andraj. 25 wins, twelve losses, 16 and ten in the UFC. She's taking on Mariana Rodriguez. Yup. Seven wins, three losses, two draws in the UFC. [00:40:51] Speaker A: Now Andrade's coming off of that KO victory to Dern, which is coming off. [00:40:55] Speaker B: But before that, she had lost three in a row. [00:40:56] Speaker A: She did lose three in a row. So she's like, what, two and three in her last five? It's not the best, but she's. She's rebounded well, and she's taking on. [00:41:06] Speaker B: A girl in Rodriguez who's really good on the feet. She's also coming off of a win against. A slightly less impressive win against Michelle Watterson. Gomez for the second time. [00:41:16] Speaker A: Yeah, she got the tko victory there. [00:41:17] Speaker B: She did have two losses in a row before that, so it was a nice way to rebound for her. So it's both girls coming in, they're coming in awful wins after losing streaks. [00:41:26] Speaker A: Right? [00:41:27] Speaker B: So it's like, who can reestablish, who can get the winning streak going? [00:41:29] Speaker A: Okay, so I got a couple stats to throw out there. See if it. I know. It's one of the things that helped me determine who I thought was gonna win. [00:41:37] Speaker B: All right, hit me with it. [00:41:38] Speaker A: When Marina Rodriguez is the longer fighter. What? Like, she is in this fight, she's six two and two. [00:41:45] Speaker B: Jessica Andrade, only five one, which is crazy. I don't think it's crazy. [00:41:48] Speaker A: They never portray the height. You can't. You can't portray the height well on tv when they're fighting, it doesn't play well. Marina Rodriguez is the underdog coming in, albeit slight, at plus 115. She has never lost in the UFC. As an underdog, she's a perfect three. No, I think based on those two things, she's going to move to a perfect four and o as an underdog, probably by the time the fight card starts. It's going to be kind of a toss up, if you will. But right now, as a dog, that's what I'm ranking it as. I think she's going to win. I think she's going to go four and, oh, probably win by decision, but she's a longer fighter. She's got a good ground game. I think she's going to defend well, and Andrade just not going to have what it takes. Unfortunately for her, I agree with you. [00:42:35] Speaker B: I got Rodriguez winning, most likely by decision. [00:42:40] Speaker A: Boom. [00:42:41] Speaker B: So let's move on. Last fight of the early prelims, which. [00:42:44] Speaker A: Still leaves us with like ten fights. [00:42:46] Speaker B: Still leaves with ten fights. And it's still banger of a fight. Jalen Turner, the tarantula, as we talked about earlier, coming off of the brutal win over Bobby Green, and he's three. [00:42:54] Speaker A: And two in his last five. You know, he's only lost twice. He's been on a kind of a hot streak. [00:42:59] Speaker B: He's seven and four in the UFC, and all seven of his wins are by finish, which is very impressive thing to do. And he's taking on Renato Moicano. Money Moicano, ten and five in the UFC. Six of those wins are by sub, which is impressive. So this is again, although Jalen Turner does have a ground game, he's so long. [00:43:18] Speaker A: Yep. [00:43:19] Speaker B: It's kind of a stylistic matchup. Jalen Turner, you would say, coming into this, the better striker, the more impressive striker. And he's taking on a guy, Moikano, who is deadly on the ground. [00:43:29] Speaker A: Definitely deadly on the ground. And Jalen Turner is an absolute behemoth in the lightweight division. 6377 inch reach. He's got a towering five inch reach. What if he can put it on just taller? We've seen him at his best, and I think when he's at his best, he can turn that into victories. He's seven and three against shorter reach, which I guess in the lightweight division, he's always got shorter reach. [00:43:57] Speaker B: Seven and four in the UFC. So it's. [00:43:58] Speaker A: Right, you know, it's not much off of there, but he is six and two is the favorite, you know, so he's proven that he's won and losses. The underdog. [00:44:07] Speaker B: Mocano's one, five out of six, though. You know, he's been. He's been looking good lately, and look. And two in a row. [00:44:12] Speaker A: When Morikano dominated on the ground last time against Dobr, against Dober, we said. [00:44:18] Speaker B: That was only in February. [00:44:19] Speaker A: We said that one of the best options for him would be to fight Jalen Turner. People called me crazy. People called us crazy. But look what we got. So I think Jalen Turner is going to win here. I think he's going to do what he has to do. Excuse me. And I think the reach advantage, the size advantage, him using the reach and everything, is what's going to help him stuff those takedowns. If you can't lock your hands, you can't get the takedown. [00:44:48] Speaker B: I think this is one of the many fights on the card that is really honestly and truly a toss up. Damn near, but I agree with you. I think Jalen Turner, I think the link is going to play a factor. I think he's good enough on the ground. He has strong enough ground game where he can semi neutralize Morkano, and then it's going to come down to the hands. And I think Jalen Turner has better hands. Psyched Jalen Turner as well. [00:45:08] Speaker A: All right, next up, now we move. [00:45:11] Speaker B: On to the regular prelims. [00:45:12] Speaker A: Yeah. First fight of the regular prelims. Like we said, they're all like bangers. So, Dick, super Youssef taking on Diego Lopez. Sotic Youssef is 13 and three in his career. Diego Lopez is 23 and six. Yusuf's three and two in his last five. His last fight was a decision lost to Edson Barbosa. [00:45:30] Speaker B: To the vet. It's in Barboza. [00:45:32] Speaker A: Six and two in the UFC, whereas Lopez is four and one in his last five. [00:45:37] Speaker B: He's two and one in the UFC, but he's won two in a row after his first loss. [00:45:40] Speaker A: Right. And his first loss, admittedly, was to Mozfar evolve. [00:45:43] Speaker B: So, yeah, Evelyev's beating everybody. [00:45:45] Speaker A: Right? [00:45:45] Speaker B: And that's the guy. That's the boogeyman. Nobody wants to fight in that division. [00:45:48] Speaker A: Exactly. So you leave that up in the featherweights. [00:45:50] Speaker B: Diego Lopez, too, is like one of the most exciting fighters. His last two fights have been so exciting and so impressive. [00:45:57] Speaker A: No, he really has performed well. [00:46:00] Speaker B: Both of them. By finish. [00:46:01] Speaker A: Lopez has never lost as the favorite, which he is the slight favorite now. [00:46:05] Speaker B: I mean, he can beat you anyway, too. Twelve subs, nine kos in his career. [00:46:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Only going to card six times total. [00:46:11] Speaker B: Winning twice, one of each in the UFC. I really like Diego Lopez. I think he's a guy the UFC is trying to get behind. They're putting him more on the embedded. I think he's a guy, you know, he's a unique looking guy. [00:46:22] Speaker A: He has a crazy hair. [00:46:24] Speaker B: He's likeable. [00:46:25] Speaker A: You got the weird chest tattoo. [00:46:26] Speaker B: Weird chest tattoo. He's fun to watch. I really like Diego Lopez. I think this is going to be a very entertaining fight against Youssef. [00:46:34] Speaker A: I agree. I think he's going to win. Diego Lopez is going to win against Youssef. I think it is a great matchup. I think Soda Youssef is going to, you know, his striking background is going to play a big factor in the fight where it's going to make Lopez think and recalculate. But ultimately, I think Diego Lopez is going to have the answer for the striking. And given that he can mix it up when he needs to mix it up, you know, not when he needs to, but he has the ability to just kind of do whatever, go to the ground, strike, get against the fence. I think that's going to be his clear path to victory. He's probably going to win. I'd like to say finish. [00:47:09] Speaker B: Yeah, I agree with you. I think Diego Lopez gets the finish in this. Let's move on to the next fight. It continues with the theme I mentioned earlier. Former champ Holly Holm, the 42 year old taking on UFC newcomer Kayla Harrison. Although Kayla Harrison, former PFL champ, two time Olympic gold medalist, and judo. She's a dog. [00:47:28] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:47:29] Speaker B: This is one of the biggest discrepancies in terms of odds. Kayla Harrison, the heavy favorite. [00:47:35] Speaker A: It's like the third biggest on the whole card, as I said, her UFC. [00:47:38] Speaker B: Debut, but she's 16 and one overall in MMA, 15, one in the PFL. Holly Holm, 15 and ₩6 no contest, but eight, six and one in the UFC. Her last fight, she lost the fight, but it got pushed to a no. [00:47:53] Speaker A: Contest, and it's a good. I mean, it's a. [00:47:57] Speaker B: Against Buenos Silva. [00:47:58] Speaker A: Yeah, it got pushed to no contest, but it was a good showing by Holm. [00:48:02] Speaker B: So she's three, one and one in her last five, which is pretty good for a 42 year old fighter. [00:48:06] Speaker A: Right. And it shows that the preacher's daughter still has what it takes. [00:48:10] Speaker B: But this is a major stylistic matchup. She's known as the boxer. She's a former professional boxer, and she's taking on Kayla Harrison, who, she has good hands, but her thing is judo. She's gonna grab ahold of you. She's gonna get you to the ground. Ground and pound you. [00:48:23] Speaker A: Yep. And I think, like what you said, her being a two time Olympic gold medal medalist, I think she's gonna utilize her ground game. I mean, she's 16 and one. She's not walking in here not knowing how to fight. She's finished twelve of her 16 total. [00:48:38] Speaker B: She fights at american top team, too. So with the likes, like, you know, same camp as, like, Poirier, you know, a lot of other. [00:48:44] Speaker A: She's fighting with big dogs. She's just not fighting in the UFC. I think she is casual. People are going to be very surprised that she's just going to walk out here and, I mean, Vegas isn't doing this for no reason. They know exactly what they're talking about, and that's just going to be what it's going to be. Yeah. [00:49:01] Speaker B: So it sounds like we both agree on Kayla Harrison with the dub right here. [00:49:05] Speaker A: Yep, I think so. [00:49:06] Speaker B: Let's move on. Next fight, former champ again, Al Jermaine Sterling moving up to 145, taking on Calvin, the Boston finisher, caterpillar Aljo, as we all know, coming off of the knockout loss to Sean O'Malley where he lost his belt at 135. [00:49:22] Speaker A: Yep. [00:49:23] Speaker B: So he decided to move up. This is something he's always kind of hinted at before. So he's making the move finally. And before that loss against O'Malley, nine straight wins. I mean, yeah, there's a legit fighter. [00:49:34] Speaker A: He is. And he gets a lot of hate, but he's legit. Yeah, I'm one of those that just gives him a lot of hate for no reason. He is a legit fighter and I wholeheartedly believe that with what he's got going on, he didn't have to move up in weight class. He's just kind of opening up that division for other people to go fight for the belt. [00:49:53] Speaker B: Mainly his best friend, Marab. [00:49:54] Speaker A: Exactly. I think him against cater is going to be a very, you know, kind of toss up styled match. Yeah. [00:50:01] Speaker B: The Boston finisher, seven and five in the UFC with two straight losses and he's lost three out of four. So he's trying to rebound. [00:50:08] Speaker A: Yeah. And like you, like you were saying, Sterling's last loss was O'Malley. He's won the previous nine before that. It's gonna be a good fight. I think Cowan Cater is gonna benefit from being in that division already knowing what the power is like, already taking. [00:50:21] Speaker B: Punches, long layoff those he hasn't fought since October 22. [00:50:25] Speaker A: Now that was due to that, that. [00:50:26] Speaker B: Injury, knee injury to Arnold Torres ACL. [00:50:29] Speaker A: So you can't really take too much away from him there. But you gotta, you got to kind of see, you know, what's happening with Sterling. Is the power going to translate? I think Sterling is going to do well in the featherweight division, but I don't think he's going to do well this fight. I think Calvin Cater is going to rebound off that knee injury, full time off to recover, full camp, get to get ready for the fight, and a good rebound victory after taking two losses in a row. [00:50:59] Speaker B: So I actually am going to disagree with you on this one. I think Aljo is going to show his championship spirit. He's coming off a loss after nine straight wins. As we've said multiple times at this point. I think he rebounds well. I think he's taking on a guy in Calvin cater while a good fighter, but he's seven and five in the UFC. He's not at Al Joe's level. [00:51:18] Speaker A: Right. [00:51:18] Speaker B: I think Aljo comes in, he figures out a way to get this win. I think he starts his 145 career off well and I think he instantly becomes he's not gonna be a legit. I mean like he's not fighting Ilya Taporia. If he wins this fight, but beats this, wins another fight, he's right there at the title. So I got Al Joe with the dub. [00:51:38] Speaker A: Okay, we'll see. [00:51:39] Speaker B: And let's move on now to the the last prelim. And it's another former champ, a guy who just lost his belt. In fact in his last fight, Yuri Prohachka. [00:51:48] Speaker A: Yuri's had an up and down go of it. He hasn't been very fortunate or lucky with his, with his losses in the UFC BJP. [00:51:57] Speaker B: He's only had one UFC loss or. [00:51:58] Speaker A: His loss is loss in the UFC. [00:52:00] Speaker B: He's only had one UFC law which crazy. This is only his fifth UFC fight. He's only three one in the UFC. I know he's taken on Ali Alexander. [00:52:08] Speaker A: Ratchet racket, something like that. [00:52:11] Speaker B: The rocket six and two in the UFC. He's coming off a loss to the Blachowicz but it was because of a leg injury. Two straight wins before the leg injury loss. [00:52:24] Speaker A: I got stats. [00:52:25] Speaker B: Let me hear your stats, brother. [00:52:26] Speaker A: So Yuri is plus 100 on the. [00:52:28] Speaker B: Odds, which I think is crazy. [00:52:31] Speaker A: Yeah, but he has a crazy style and he's coming off a loss so you never know. [00:52:36] Speaker B: Rachik is the serbian versus the czech. [00:52:39] Speaker A: -120 so he's not super favorite here. You prohoska is 30 against shorter reach, two and one is it as an underdog. 10 is a favorite. This is a toss up for me. He's got a two inch recent reach advantage. He's the bigger guy overall, but he's more active. He's got a crazy style. It's hard to gauge his rhythm and hard to figure out what he's got going on. [00:53:07] Speaker B: Prohachka, out of his 29 career MMA wins, 25 of them are by Ko. [00:53:12] Speaker A: He strikes from the. He strikes low, he strikes low, keeps his hands low. [00:53:18] Speaker B: Bit him in the ass against Pereira. [00:53:21] Speaker A: Yeah, but he was shooting that takedown and stayed in it way too long and that caused the knockout by elbows. You know that he was already stunned but staying in it to try to recover was not the motive that he needed to take there. [00:53:34] Speaker B: And you can't really fault a guy from getting knocked out from Potomac. [00:53:36] Speaker A: No, I don't at all I think Yuri is going to win. I think he's going to rebound off his last loss and I think he's going to. He's going to be back. Yuri back. Uri's back. [00:53:47] Speaker B: Yeah, he had 13 straight wins before lost. Pereira, as we said, you can't really fault the guy for losing to Alex Pereira. I think Yuri rebounds. I think he instantly is back in the title consideration. Yeah, I think he moves to four and one. I got the former champion the check. Yuri prochika. [00:54:06] Speaker A: Sweet. [00:54:07] Speaker B: All right, so let's jump to the main card. Finally, the main card, UFC 300. And we're gonna open up the main card with probably the biggest mismatch in the entire card. [00:54:17] Speaker A: Minus 2500, plus 1000. Bo nickel over Cody Brundage. [00:54:22] Speaker B: Bo nickel, 5020 in the UFC, both finishes. I mean, that's an absolutely wild first. [00:54:30] Speaker A: Card, first fight of the main card to be putting on maybe wrestlers. [00:54:34] Speaker B: Bo nickel is. They know he's a superstar at this point. [00:54:38] Speaker A: Yeah, he's proved it. [00:54:39] Speaker B: Even only two fights in. Like, they know his level, they know how committed he is. And I think everybody can see he's a legitimate. I mean, couple more wins before he gets to ten wins, he's going to be in title consideration. [00:54:51] Speaker A: He's five and, oh, in his career and he's just, he's proving everybody wrong at every turn. [00:54:57] Speaker B: That's just quite simply taking on Brundage, who's ten and five, but four and four in the UFC, he is on a two fight winning streak. So it seems like maybe he's kind of, kind of starting to figure things out. His last fight was in December of round one, Ko. So maybe his most impressive performance coming off of. But man, he's running into a bus off. [00:55:15] Speaker A: I think it's pretty easy to say here that I got Bo nickel winning the fight. [00:55:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I think Bo nickel just elite wrestling. Although Brundage is a good wrestler, I think. [00:55:23] Speaker A: I think that's going to cause the fight to go a little bit more on the, on the hands and at that point, it's going to cause a problem for brundage. [00:55:32] Speaker B: I agree. I got Bo nickel. I think he finishes it first round. I think he could do it anyway, too. Next up, next up, another former champ, Charles Dubronx, makes his return. [00:55:45] Speaker A: Fan favorite, Armin Sarukian. I'm even going to try to say his nickname. [00:55:50] Speaker B: Yeah, Armin Sarukian Oliveira. 34 wins, nine losses, won no contest. He has 22 wins in the UFC. 16 of those submissions, which is the most all time, four and one in. [00:56:01] Speaker A: His last five with his only loss being to Islam. [00:56:04] Speaker B: He's won twelve out of 13 and he's only lost to Islam. [00:56:07] Speaker A: He finished Poirier, Chandler, Gaethje and Darush. He just walked through the top five at last. [00:56:12] Speaker B: In the notes about. Yeah, he literally walked through them until he fought Islam. In my notes, one of the lines all I put about Dubronx was dog. [00:56:19] Speaker A: Yeah, he's a dog. He's a dog. [00:56:20] Speaker B: And plain and simple, he's a guy like, you can't. Not like, I think everybody, I'm a poirier fan and I love Charles de Bronx Oliver. [00:56:29] Speaker A: Right. No, I agree. He's a great fighter. He's humble. He's a good guy, it seems. [00:56:33] Speaker B: And speaking of not being humble, Sarukian. Sarukian is not humble at all. [00:56:38] Speaker A: Now, he. He's eight and two in the UFC. He is. He's also like, he's young, but he's tearing through the eight and two in the UFC. [00:56:47] Speaker B: And his first fight in the UFC was a loss to Islam. [00:56:50] Speaker A: Yeah, his debut was a loss to Islam. [00:56:51] Speaker B: And it was Islam, arguably one of his toughest fights he's had besides his loss. [00:56:55] Speaker A: And his only other loss was to Matus Gamrot, who's a poirier training partner. You know, just. He's a dog victory as well. He's also a great fighter. So this is an up and comer versus vet. Very crazy matchup for both sides. [00:57:10] Speaker B: And I think the winner of this gets a title shot. [00:57:12] Speaker A: I mean, there's a huge pecking order. The title for the lightweight division is going to be very contentious for the foreseeable future. [00:57:20] Speaker B: I agree. And one interesting thing, both guys coming off first round demolishing of Benill. Dariush. [00:57:27] Speaker A: Right. [00:57:27] Speaker B: Oliver did it in June of last year in his last fight. Armin did it in December of last year. So they both just beating up on poor benill. [00:57:35] Speaker A: Stats I got for us are Sarukian is eight and one as the favorite, and Oliveira is eight and five as a dog. Yeah, but that is. [00:57:43] Speaker B: He started off his career very slow. He's 112 out of 13. [00:57:47] Speaker A: Right. I lean on that. That dogs, that dog aspect. If you think about twelve out of 13 with the guy going 34 nine in his total career in the recent times, anytime he was a dog, something click for him. I think Charles Oliveira is going to win this fight. I think he's going to prove. Prove that the dog is going to win and he's got that dog in him. [00:58:11] Speaker B: Yeah, I got do Bronx winning the fight. I'm a huge fan of him, and I think he's. He still has more left in the tank. I gotta do Bronx. Let's move on now. [00:58:21] Speaker A: So some bad motherfuckers. [00:58:22] Speaker B: The BMF title, another former champ versus interim champ. [00:58:26] Speaker A: Justin, the highlight, Gaethje. [00:58:28] Speaker B: Justin, the highlight, Gaethje. Coming off of the rip head kick knockout win against Dustin Poirier. Max Holloway. His last fight, where he knocked out Zombie, and Zombie's retirement fight, korean zombie. That is. Max Holloway, 21 and seven in UFC. Former 145 champ, as we all know, probably has the best chin, maybe never been dropped in UFC history, and he's putting that to a test against one of the hardest hitters in Justin Gaethje. [00:58:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Max's last three losses were to Volk, which is crazy. [00:59:02] Speaker B: None of them finishes. [00:59:04] Speaker A: I think this, you know, change in weight for Max is going to be a big help for his power. [00:59:12] Speaker B: Second time, moving up to 155. Last time, although he lost, it was against Poirier, and it was, like, one of the best fights ever. [00:59:19] Speaker A: Yeah, it really was. Yeah. I want that to be, like, on the finish list, but it can't be. [00:59:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:25] Speaker A: Cause, you know, it's. [00:59:26] Speaker B: If we did top five decisions, that would be on the list. [00:59:29] Speaker A: There's. There's just not that many decisions that I would put up there, but, yeah. Max Holloway is a dog. Gaethje is two, and one is a favorite, but he's zero. One, a shorter reach. Max Holloway is three and five as a dog, but he's never been dropped, never been ko'd. He's only been sub twice in his career, not anytime recent out of the whole card. [00:59:51] Speaker B: And that's saying a lot, because we've gone through how much of a badass car this is. This may be the one I'm most excited for, and, like, I have no idea what's gonna happen in this fight. [01:00:00] Speaker A: I think Max Holloway is gonna win. I think it's gonna be a long, grueling fight, and I think it's gonna, like. It's gonna hurt for both guys. It's gonna hurt a lot. But I think Max Holloway, the blessed, he's gonna come out on top. I think Gaethje is gonna have to hand the belt over. I don't think the BMF title is something that's made to defend. I don't. I don't think it's one of those. I think it's one of those. It's, like, almost a curse. You come out, you get caught, you come out and you win it, you know, you can't defend it much. You just have. You got to give it up. [01:00:33] Speaker B: Yeah, I think I actually agree with you. This is a tough one for me, but I'm picking blessed. I think it's going to be a decision win. As you said. I think it's going to be a grueling fight. It's going to be two guys just going out there. Two bad motherfuckers, and it's going to be a bad fight. And I got blessed. All right, our co main, another former champ and current former champ, who's also the current champ. [01:00:54] Speaker A: Former current champ. Weil Zhang. Zhang Weili, the magnum. [01:00:59] Speaker B: A fan favorite. [01:01:00] Speaker A: I don't. [01:01:00] Speaker B: If you don't like Zhong Wei Li, I love her. [01:01:03] Speaker A: She's cool. She's my little. [01:01:05] Speaker B: Shut up. [01:01:05] Speaker A: She picked up Shaq that one time. [01:01:07] Speaker B: She picked up Shaq. [01:01:08] Speaker A: That's pretty cool cuz she's like five four. [01:01:10] Speaker B: Remember when Rose fought her and she tried to like do like the. I hate her cuz she's communist China. And everybody's like, rose, shut up. [01:01:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like, oh, damn. You just lost fans because you're talking shit on Zhong Wei Li. She's facing Yeon Xiao Nan. Xiao Nanyan. [01:01:24] Speaker B: A chinese title fight. First time ever. [01:01:27] Speaker A: This is like fighting yourself in a mirror, but if you were fighting somebody who wasn't quite as good as you. [01:01:34] Speaker B: Listen to the similarities. Obviously, both chinese, both 34. Both 34. Both eight and two in the UFC. [01:01:40] Speaker A: Both have 63 inch reach. [01:01:42] Speaker B: I mean, this is. It's crazy. [01:01:46] Speaker A: They're both from China. Both from China. Do I need to say more? [01:01:49] Speaker B: Both that have. Both have knocked out Jessica Andraj. [01:01:53] Speaker A: Yes. [01:01:53] Speaker B: Or beat Jessica Andraj. [01:01:54] Speaker A: You're right. Predominant striker. [01:01:57] Speaker B: Yeah, that's the similarities. [01:01:58] Speaker A: Wei Li Zhang is seven and two as a favorite. Jan is three and one as an underdog. In the UFC, though, it's not bad. [01:02:05] Speaker B: But she's never been underdog as Weili. [01:02:07] Speaker A: You're right. Minus 525 odds. I'm forced to side with Zhang Wei Li due to that. I mean, she's not gonna come out with a bad camp. She's not going to lose a fight to her own blood. Like, not blood, but her own, like, nationality. I don't think she's going to do that. That would be not good for her. [01:02:26] Speaker B: I got whaley, too. I think she puts on a masterful performance. I think she's, at the moment the best female fighter on that UFC roster. Like, most complete pound, pound for pound. [01:02:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:02:39] Speaker B: And I would agree. And I think she shows that in this fight, I got whaley, I think she's gonna get a finish. [01:02:45] Speaker A: And the main event, the masterful main. [01:02:51] Speaker B: Event, that there's no way this fight goes smash. I mean, both of these guys are heavy hitters. [01:02:59] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, he's nine and two in his career. Jamal Hill's only twelve and one. Both of these guys have mainlined or co main, like five or four or five UFC fights, and they've only been in the US. [01:03:14] Speaker B: On the embedded today, somebody said something about, oh, we're in the Octagon, first fight, and Pereira looked at the camera, he's talking to Glover and he's like, I've never been in my whole career. The first fight on the card. [01:03:24] Speaker A: Wow. [01:03:25] Speaker B: And it's like, yeah. [01:03:25] Speaker A: That you've been that good. [01:03:27] Speaker B: That's what, that's what Glover says that you started at the top. [01:03:31] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I mean, look, you came into some tests and you, I mean, you passed. [01:03:36] Speaker B: This is his first title defense at 205, and he's taking on a guy in, Jamal Hill, who had the belt at 205, had to vacate because of injury. Yep. [01:03:44] Speaker A: Now, Jamal Hill, he, he as has a chin. Number one, he's was to Paul Craig. That was a brutal loss, Paul. [01:03:53] Speaker B: Where he got his arm dislocated. [01:03:54] Speaker A: Yeah. And just like, got the shit beat out of him because he only had one arm. [01:03:57] Speaker B: But since then, he's been on a tear. And last year was in January of 23, so about a year, almost a year and a half ago, where he beat Glover Teixeira in a classic fight. Glover Teixeira, as I just mentioned, Potan's best friend and coach. [01:04:11] Speaker A: Right. But now they're saying like, ah, you beat a 40 year old man. [01:04:15] Speaker B: Oh, I get that argument. But the 40 year old man, the. [01:04:19] Speaker A: 40 year old man had just won the title. [01:04:20] Speaker B: Yeah, you were saying before that, like, holy shit, clover, right? [01:04:24] Speaker A: You can't count the title. Like, the dude just got the belt, right. You can't count a guy out. I think Alex Pereira is going to retain his title. I don't think Jamal Hill is a bad fighter by any standpoint. [01:04:34] Speaker B: Well, no, he's. I mean, he's former champs, four straight wins, six one on one in the UFC. He's definitely not bad. [01:04:39] Speaker A: And I don't think he, like, he's, he's out, you know, I don't think he's on a downswing on his career. I just think this is a big test, and I think Pereira being in the game as recently as he's been in the game, you know, he's been fighting a lot in the past few years. [01:04:54] Speaker B: Knocked out Uri in November. [01:04:56] Speaker A: I mean, I think he's fresher. I think he's ready to go. And I think he's going to be here for the foreseeable future as the light heavyweight. [01:05:02] Speaker B: I mean, I think both guys, whoever connects clean first can knock the other one out cold. But I think. I agree with you. I think Pereira, he's been in there more. Jamal Hill, a little bit longer of a layoff because of the injury. I think Pereira is going to come in. I think he's the one that catches Jamal Hill first. And I got Pereira with a duh, with a ko dub. And I think it's probably 1st second at latest, third round. [01:05:28] Speaker A: Okay. [01:05:28] Speaker B: Okay. [01:05:29] Speaker A: Well, that pretty much will wrap up UFC 300. Let's jump directly into the last week recap for our UFC card so we can run through that, and then we'll jump into our week nine stakes. [01:05:42] Speaker B: So little stakes and takes. [01:05:43] Speaker A: Little stakes and takes. Let's have some. So last week I did five and one in the UFC. I only got Valter Walker wrong. [01:05:50] Speaker B: Oh, wow. How'd you not. I did three and three. [01:05:53] Speaker A: So you got more than that wrong. Got it. So I won that portion of it. [01:05:56] Speaker B: I got Walker wrong, I got Trevor Peake wrong, and I got shashery wrong, which I'm still mad about. [01:06:02] Speaker A: Fair enough. [01:06:02] Speaker B: So three and three. UFC. But I went 40 and picked my own picks. I picked both final four games, right. Purdue and Uconn winning. And then I got Arsenal over Brighton. I got Laverkusen over Union Berlin. [01:06:14] Speaker A: See, I had. I had Purdue right. I did pick Purdue to win. I thought Alabama was gonna beat UConn. That was silly because they went on to win the national championship. [01:06:23] Speaker B: Yeah, then UConn won that and then dominated Purdue. [01:06:26] Speaker A: Yeah, but I got Purdue. Right? I got the Braves winning the Saturday game over the Diamondbacks. That was nice. But the Orioles didn't win, so I went two and two and picked my own picks. On happier news than that, I did go 50 in stakes. So if anybody followed me, you made some money. [01:06:43] Speaker B: I went four and one, so same pretty bad. The only one I got wrong was one. I only put one unit on and it was chassery. So I'm not that upset about it. [01:06:52] Speaker A: But you just said you're still mad. So I'm neither here nor there because. [01:06:55] Speaker B: I think he won the fight. But I got Alan Moneyline right. Thank God. I got Purdue money line. [01:07:01] Speaker A: Right. [01:07:01] Speaker B: I put four units on that. I got labor cues and money line. [01:07:04] Speaker A: Right? [01:07:04] Speaker B: And I got Arsenal. Money line. Right. [01:07:06] Speaker A: Nice, nice, nice. So that brings us to eight weeks through. I'm 49, 29 and two. Christian, you are 50, 28 and two for your takes. For our stakes, I'm 20 211. And two. Christian, you are 25. You're down 6.61 units. I'm up 5.41 units. What you got going on for stakes? For week nine? [01:07:33] Speaker B: We did exclusively UFC because of this badass UFC 300 card. So I had five UFC bets. [01:07:39] Speaker A: Nice. [01:07:40] Speaker B: I'm gonna start off. All mine are gonna have two units, so I'm just evenly dispensing my units this week. [01:07:46] Speaker A: I respect it. I respect it. [01:07:47] Speaker B: I got main event.

I got diego lopez, moneyline. -140 I got the opener figurado, moneyline. -130 and then I have fan favorite former champions Charles dubronx oliveira, moneyline. Plus 185. [01:08:11] Speaker A: Damn, I have a lot of that. Nice. I have Alex Pereira, moneyline. I'm doing two units on everything as well. I got Alex Pereira, moneyline. -130 Charles Oliveira, moneyline plus 185. Yuri prohaska, moneyline plus 100. Jalen the Tarantula Turner, moneyline -235 and Jim Miller, moneyline plus 155. To win his third tricentennial. Is that what you would say? [01:08:38] Speaker B: 100, 200, 300 would just be like your 300th anniversary? [01:08:43] Speaker A: Yeah, win that UFC 300. There you go. The UFC 300. That is not actually UFC 300. [01:08:49] Speaker B: Yeah, so I think that wraps up episode 40. Check us out next week. There's no UFC card, but we are going to recap this crazy card of UFC 300. [01:08:57] Speaker A: Yeah, that'll take a minute. [01:08:59] Speaker B: We're gonna bring some picks, as always.
