01:43:08 The Wrap Up
[Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey, [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] bounce fist flyings we pounds
get loud. That’s how we get down. Yo, what’s up everybody? Welcome back to another
episode of the GRP. Back at it again on a Thursday getting ready for UFC 320. Mamemed Uncle versus
Alex Pada happening Saturday. And uh yeah, I’m ready for it. I’m ready for it. We got two
titles. Morav Dvalisi versus Cory Sanhagen for the bantamweight championship. Another banger
fight. I think I feel like these are going to I’m getting the feeling that these are going to
be some good fights on this card and I don’t I sometime I always wish for that but this time I’m
like I kind of it’s not for any other reason than just like a gut feeling that we’re going
to get some great fights on this card. So, I’m hoping I’m right just because, you know, it
sucks when there’s a pay-per-view and there’s all this buildup and leadup and yeah, then it just
doesn’t it doesn’t come through. So, I’m hoping that that’s not the case for this weekend. But the
weird thing is is it just feels like there’s not a lot of hype around this card. It feels like
there’s not a lot of big promotion happening around this card. And I think it’s kind of weird.
So, I’m here to make sure that uh everyone knows what’s up. No, I I mean, honestly though, I feel
like this there’s some good feel like there’s some good potential on this on this card. And you
know, the top three fights alone, Yuri Pasca versus Khil Roundree, like how the [ __ ] can
you not be excited for that? Uh and then I mean, just look at Khil’s last fight with uh Pada. Like,
that [ __ ] was a war. It’s crazy. And you know, Yuri is game and comes in ready to [ __ ] throw
down. So, I don’t know, man. I feel like that’s going to be a great fight. And then you got Morab
and Corey, which I get it. Some people don’t like Morab’s fighting style, but when it comes down to
it, I mean, Cory’s one of those guys that likes to go after it. And if that’s the case, and he
can, you know, get up from the takedowns or stop some of those takedowns, man, we could get a real
good fight out of this. and Morab seems intent on striking. Maybe not fully, but maybe more than
usual. So, what’s up, Infinity? Um, I saw that, but I never acknowledged. My bad. Uh, but yeah.
So, and then on top of that, we have the main event with Uncleiah versus Pada. I I’m hoping
that this is 100% better than the last fight. And I mean, if PA comes in like the PA of old,
uh, Poton’s going to throw it down. And I don’t know that Uncle can stop that. But it’s just
a matter of how Alex comes in. So, of course, we’re going to get into all of it. I’m just those
are just my initial thoughts. And, you know, with with the man, that main card, who else we got?
Josh EMTT. That’s always a great fight to watch. uh versus Ysef Salo and then uh Abus Magamea
versus Joe Piper. Come on, Joe Piper. Like I mean I know people called fraud check on him
and that in the fight that he lost or whatever, but I feel like Joe Pyer is hungry and ready to
go and we could get a a great fight out of that one. So that’s just your main card. Like what the
[ __ ] So anyway, before I go too far, because I just saw the chat like move up a little bit with
Infinity uh commented again and I realized I got something new back there. You see that right
there? Right. Oh, where am I moving? Right there. And oddly enough, um or coincidentally, I
should say, Infinity’s name’s right next to it, and he’s the one that made that for me. So, thank
you, Infinity. I appreciate that. nice little uh addition to the wall and it goes great with the
with the flag up there with the GRP entertainment and all obviously the you know UFC logo which
is pretty sick. So, I think it fits in pretty good right there. And uh looks like Yeah, I know
I said oddly, I meant coincidentally, ironically, maybe. That’s That’s kind of what I meant. But,
uh anyway, yes, I think it’s dope. Uh it came out really good. Uh, I wasn’t I honestly I I I I
know you showed me the picture or whatever, but I I wasn’t expecting it to be like I don’t know
the texture that it was, I guess, or or uh maybe even the thickness that it is. So, I’m I mean,
pause. I I I should watch what I’m saying, but you know what I mean. The the the letters are dope.
Okay, that’s what I’m trying to say. Oh my god. Pics don’t always do it justice. Yeah. No, for
sure. I mean, it looked dope in the pictures, too. That’s why I was like kind of I was kind of
like, “Yeah, this is going to be sick.” And then I got it and I was like, “Oh, [ __ ] That’s even
better.” Uh, yeah. So, I like it a lot. I mean, I I I couldn’t even wait. I put it up as soon as I
Well, maybe not as soon as I got it, but that same day cuz I was just like, “Dude, I I got to see how
this is going to look.” I had to do some little touch-ups on my wall because uh yeah, I’ve moved
around some stuff and there was some holes in the walls. You can’t see them. Little holes from, you
know, uh yeah, once I remembered exactly because I forgot that it was in the mail. That was dumb
of me. But, uh yeah, I had to do some touch-ups on the wall. So, I mean, luckily I have stuff
that dries quick and [ __ ] So, uh, painted it, made it look nice, and yeah, got that. So, I
like it. It’s a It’s a good addition, and I think people will notice it because even though the
chat’s kind of in the way, people will be looking at the chat and they’ll see it. So, that’ll be
cool. Um, so yeah, I like it. Appreciate it, Infinity. Much love to uh and thankful to you
for, uh, sending that out to me. And then, uh, Infinity will be here Saturday still, I believe,
as long as nothing’s changed because like he said, life be lifing. And sometimes uh you never know.
So uh but yeah, Infinity will be here. Clark will be here. Bob Dole will be here. If you want to
know why I say Bob Dole, if you recognize that name, you got to show up on Saturday and find
out. Or go back and look at the, you know, Yes, Infinity will be here. Uh or go watch the last uh
watch party that I had guests in because he was here then as well. He’s funny. Uh, and he’s cool
and he’s appreciative of being here and he likes to just chill and watch the fights and and talk it
up and have some drinks and that’s what we like to do. So, I’ll talk more a little little more about
that here in a few minutes as well. But yeah, that’s uh we got a lot to talk about. So, I’m
going to I’m going to hit up my uh sponsors real quick. My sponsor real quick. Noctane smelling
salts of course. Um, definitely uh definitely need this right now because it’s I just feel I feel
drained and it’s time to get a little awake and alert and uh it’s always a good way to boost that.
Got them spe special lenses. What are you What are you talking about? I don’t even know what you’re
saying. Only bringing $20. I missed that one. Um yeah, so Noctane. Uh oh man, it’s leaking on me
again. [ __ ] Uh. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember now. Actually, what’s funny
is I thought you threw them in that box because of the way you packaged the box. There was that
extra the extra paper on the side and I was like, “Oh, that looks like something’s in that.” And I
went to grab it. It’s just a paper. I was laughing cuz I would instantly remembered at that moment
that you had said something about that. But no, that’s cool though. Um, so yeah, Noctane, if I
don’t spill it all over myself, going to take a nice little whiff here. I got to turn the fan off
so it doesn’t I know I always deal with the fan, but I’m I’m thankful I have this. Otherwise,
I’d have to be yelling at the device back there to tell it to shut it off if I had that set up,
but I don’t. That’s why I have a remote. Anyway, here we go. Nice big breath. Let’s
see how strong it is this time. Not very. Not very. Maybe it’s dying on me
even more. Hold on. Oh god, there it is. Oh, it feels like it takes two tries now, but
that [ __ ] is still strong. Oh, I couldn’t even fake that one. Holy [ __ ] Yeah, there’s
definitely got me. Noctane said, “Gotcha, bitch.” Oh my god. But that’s why I love Noctane. This is
this the most potent bottle with the red cap. And oh, my eyes are watery as hell. But uh yeah, this
is the most potent one. Uh they have a black cap that’s mid, you know, mid-range, and then the
white cap that is the least potent, the entry level. So, if you want to just try it out, uh you
can start there. You’re feeling a little bolder, go to black, and then just wait on the red.
Try it first. Unless you want to go crazy. Uh, but it’s good [ __ ] I love it. Um, and it’s
always fun to to hit the smelling salts and when we do watch parties, we go nuts with these
because we’re drinking and just having fun and uh, got to stay awake sometimes. Sometimes the
fights get a little boring and when that happens, red equals death. YouTube didn’t
like that comment, Infinity, but uh, I got you. I’m bringing black with me. I mean,
there’s double meaning to that, right? I’m sorry. Oh [ __ ] Here we go again. I’m sorry. I made my I
made myself laugh like a dumbass. Red unal alived. There you go. There you go. You got it. 247 lag.
God damn. Oh, I should have played this one to this day. I’m over here making myself laugh. What
the [ __ ] is wrong with me? Anyway, Noct, thank you for the sponsorship. Appreciate it. Um, hit up
that QR code or there’s a link in the description below as always. Go check out their website.
It’s it’s a dope one. It’s fun to look at and uh and uh it’s informative and go get yourself
some some Noctane cuz it’s good. So, thank you Noctane for that. All right, so enough with the
uh enough with the [ __ ] Let me uh take a sip here and let’s get to this because I got a lot
to talk about. So, here we go. Getting started. Let’s hit up this recap real quick of Dana White’s
Contender Series that happened on Tuesday. Every Tuesday we got Dana White’s Contender Series
five fights. And uh they’re they’ve been damn good. And they were pretty damn good this week,
too, with the exception of one. Um I wouldn’t say it was horrible, but it wasn’t great. it
wasn’t the best. And when it comes down to it, that happens sometimes. We we got a few weeks in
a row where every fight was damn good. And this is uh the only exception to this is that first
fight of the night, which we’ll talk about uh pretty quickly. But yeah, we had five fights. Um I
think there was one maybe even two fighting nerds guys that were in here. We had a brother of an uh
current UFC fighter, Charles Jordane. his brother fought and won. Uh, as you can see up here, we
got the matchups on the left. We got the winners chairs in the middle and then we got the contract
winners on the right. So, if you’re wondering what I got going on for visuals and we’re going to go
through these fights real quick because uh yeah, we definitely got to talk about them because
they happened on Tuesday and it was a good night of fights like I said. So getting started
with the first fight of the night which was not the best and this was a Kabib Nurmagamedov uh if
you remember the legend not everybody can live up to that name and uh unfortunately Rasheed Vagab
was not able to live up to that um it looks like he has some talent it looks like he has some
skills but he was more interested in using the verbal skills than he was his fighting skills.
Now, don’t get me wrong, he fought Paulo Dilva, um, Brazilian guy. I’m not exactly sure what camp
he’s out of, but uh, I guess I could look that up real fast. But, um, when it comes down to it,
Bagabad was like a super favorite. He was like plus I mean – 700 or – 715 or some [ __ ] And
while sometimes, you know, the odds and [ __ ] don’t matter when you’re favored that much, you
better go out there and do something. Especially be you got you got double reasons to go out there.
Triple reasons. You’re part of uh Kabib’s camp, so you got to live up to that name. I know
that’s a lot of pressure, but what the [ __ ] Uh and then you you’re a plus or a minus 715.
I keep saying plus minus 715 favorite which means everyone’s got the you know got the they
believe you can do it uh even the odds makers. So and then on top of all of that you are on Dana
White’s Contender Series. You have to show up and you have to [ __ ] show out and if you don’t you
don’t get a [ __ ] contract whether you win or not. So that’s how this fight went. Paulo Dilva
was not able to capitalize on on Vagabad’s dumb [ __ ] which leads me to believe that possibly he
looks like Mai with an extra generation. Oh [ __ ] Oh my god. [Laughter] [ __ ] Tyler.
Damn. Just coming out swinging. Wow. All right, I got you, bro. I couldn’t even
hold back on that one. Holy [ __ ] All right. I mean, I I was with you when you said he looks like
Mav. The rest of that, those are the thoughts of Tyler Fish, but entertaining, I guess. Oh, man.
The problem here, the biggest problem with this fight, as you can see in that righthand picture,
he’s pointing, he was talking to Dana White. He’s screaming out about how he he’s gonna be a UFC
champion and all this other [ __ ] trying to, you know, trying to be like Khabib when he was on
the comeup, when he was beating the [ __ ] out of Michael Johnson, talking about how he deserved it
and how he was the uh, you know, he deserved it. He was going to be the next champ. He he needed to
fight for the belt and and all that. And Infinity just read that, too. And you know, you you can’t
do that [ __ ] if you’re not dominating the fight. Kabe was doing that while he was on top of Michael
Johnson, dropping elbows and punches on him, telling him, “Hey, listen, brother. You got to let
me have this. You’re done for. Like, you can’t get up. You’re not going anywhere. I’m I’m winning
and I’m getting I’m getting the belt.” That’s what he was saying. And so, he was showing it and
proving it right then and there. This guy starts talking [ __ ] before he even like does anything
of anything that matters. So, I don’t know, man. I don’t know what the [ __ ] this guy was
thinking, but he got way too ahead of himself. He, you know, the first round he showed up a little
bit and and maybe he started feeling himself a little too much. So, yeah, he started talking and
then he stopped fighting and it was just kind of a boring ass fight. So, it wasn’t uh the worst
fight I’ve ever seen. Uh off to the PFL he goes. Another one. Yeah, more than likely. Um we’ll
see if he ever gets another chance. But the the way that Dana talked about it, he’s like, “Man,
you’re he he kind of just he said what I said a little but a little harsher.” The tone, man. The
tone in his voice was like, “What the [ __ ] are you doing?” And I’m surprised he didn’t say more,
but he uh yeah, he he denied him the contract even though Vagabot got the unanimous decision.
You know, he did he it wasn’t a great fight. So Dana’s like, “I’m going to pass. You’re talking
a lot of shit.” And he said later on too that uh you know he remembers Kevin Holland talking a lot
of [ __ ] loses the fight and you know doesn’t get the contract, but he got called up later because
he showed up and he showed that he was there and ready to fight regardless of the fact that he
lost and uh and yeah, he you know he turned things around. So I mean it could always happen but I
don’t know if Dana was impressed at all with this guy. So negative on the contract for him. So next
up, we started with the beginning of the rest of the card having finishes on every fight, which
is awesome. That’s what you want out of the uh contender series. And uh Curtis Campbell just came
in and showed everybody what you’re supposed to do when you fight on the Contender Series. And he’s a
scouser, so of course he’s got that crazy accent. and he was entertaining as well on the mic, in
the cage, all of it. And uh even though he kind of looks like a goofball with that hair and uh
he puts on some glasses and looks like even more of a goofball, prescription glasses. So I can’t I
can’t, you know, talk too much [ __ ] cuz he needs them. But uh yeah, he he’s a bit of a nerd, but
he he’s a fighting nerd in a different way than that camp that uh we know about. So he moves up
to 8 and0 with a first round finish against Demba uh SE who you know looked like he looked like
he might have some skills in the beginning but it that was quickly turned and uh Curtis Campbell
just annihilated him uh got him with a knee and punches and then uh finished him on the ground
with some ground and pound. Didn’t a fighting nerd lose on this card? He he sure did and I’m
going to get to that here pretty soon. I I heard something about there being a couple of fighting
nerds uh on this card, but I didn’t I didn’t know of any other one. There’s one for sure, and
that was in the fight against Lewis Jordane, uh which will be coming up here in just a minute.
But yeah, I just wanted to give Curtis Campbell his his flowers for coming out there, showing
up and and you know, bouncing us back from that shitty first fight, going uh a minute and 20
seconds into the first round, getting that TKO win. Moves up from 7-0 to 8-0. He’s coming over
from FCC. The coach said something about they were living like champs before they were there. Uh you
talking about the fighting nerds? Oh, the Fighting Nerds coach. Yeah. Yeah, he said a lot. He was on
uh Ariel Awani’s show and he did he did come out and say a lot about those guys and it sounds like
he’s realistic about the fact that they, you know, they need to gather their [ __ ] and and figure it
out because uh yeah, they got a little bit ahead of themselves, which is fine. I mean, they were
up there ready to fight, you know, make their way to a title, but and they put some good fights
on, but, you know, once that once that level of competition got a little higher, they crumbled
a bit. Um, and I I say a bit, and I’m trying not to be too disrespectful about it cuz I like those
guys, but they all lost. And one loss doesn’t mean [ __ ] but when you’re out there doing it like
they were, it kind of it brings a lot of heat. A lot of heat. So, uh, yeah, Tyler, I’m pretty
sure that’s what you were talking about. Anyway, welcome in, Tyler. I forgot to say that with
your initial comment that came in hot, but if you’ve been here before, welcome back. If you are
coming in for the first time, thank you. Make sure everybody that if you’re in here right now, hit
that like button, please. It takes a quick second. Just uh close out that chat and uh hit that like
button and then come right back to the chat and jump in. But uh he came in elbows first. Yeah. So
it anyway, Curtis Campbell comes in uh and puts on a good performance. Gets that first round
finish. Next up, we had another great perform uh performance. I can’t even talk. This guy, the
only American on the card, Christopher Elvadres, El Alvidres, Elvadres, I think it was. I
saw him. I had to say that. Oh yeah. Uh yeah. Uh Christopher Alvidz comes in against
Elizer Kubanza. Um who was I mean he dude this guy look I mean look how [ __ ] ripped he is.
uh, of course, a dude in the maroon. And I mean, he looked like a dude that was like, “Damn, like
he he’s coming in there looking strong, looking like a fighter, you know, but uh, yeah, Alvidz uh,
you know, he worked him and and he was able to put on an impressive show and man, he was just landing
everything he was throwing. He got a little crazy in the middle and that’s because uh this is
the guy that showed fighting in the sand pits, right? Uh if you’re talking about like during the
show, I’m not sure cuz I I watched it after the fact and I just kind of uh I just kind of fast
forward through um I wouldn’t doubt it. Yeah, the guy that lost. That’s Yeah, more than likely
cuz I heard them talking him up like he uh they said that he did kind of remind him of uh of uh
Enanu. So more than likely that’s why. So yeah, I didn’t even see that part. But yeah, thanks
for that one cuz I I I must have missed that part. I was fast for I didn’t watch it live cuz I
was doing some other [ __ ] But uh they were fun fights. So I’m glad I went back and watched them.
Alvidz did his thing. And like I said, he got a little wild in the middle there because uh Kubanza
was was putting up a fight and and defending well and and you know, getting some punches in of his
own. He landed this nasty body kick to Alvidz, which you can kind of see on his side right there.
Um, he last he landed a nasty kick and I thought that might be it for him with that with that body
kick cuz it was it was it was a tough ass kick, man. And I was just like, damn. But, uh, he he,
you know, he pushed through and he was able to get the finish. 4 minutes and 44 seconds into the
first round. That moves him up to seven and one. He seems like a cool dude. Had a lot of backing
there. Family. I mean, he had a he had an whole clan there, man. It was crazy. He had a bunch of
[ __ ] people. But, uh, yeah, it seems like he’s got a good backing and he seems like a dude’s
got got his head on right for fighting. So, uh, looks like this guy could be definitely
somebody to watch out for. And, you know, I wouldn’t say he’s like the best on the mic,
but he he he talked it up enough to, you know, make you listen. And uh I feel like he’s going to
be one to look look out for for sure. Kubanza, who knows? Uh maybe he just had a bad night. I think
we might see him on the Contender Series again cuz even Dana was like that was the scariest dude on
the card. And uh that’s why he was so impressed with Elvidas getting that getting that TKO win
against him cuz he stood toe-to-toe and didn’t back down even with the big punches that landed
on him and and that nasty body kick. Holy [ __ ] So, this was definitely a fun fight in the
welterweight division. That was the uh third fight of the night, first round finish. And like
I said, all the rest of these fights on the card besides that first one were all finishes. And the
only one that didn’t make it out of the the first round or the only one that did make it out of
the first round besides the decision was this fight here with Charles Jordane’s brother, Lewis
Jordane versus Magno Diaz, who is the fighting nerds guy. And uh he came in 6 and1 uh into the
bantamweight division to fight uh Lewis Jordane. But with Jordane, I mean, yeah, the Fighting
Nerds are an elite, you know, an elite camp, but Jordane has his brother in the UFC. It’s his
brother and uh he’s been he’s been training with him since they were kids. I guess he’s had a bunch
of injuries le, you know, in his career and uh he finally um he finally got past them all, was able
to, you know, make it here to the Contender Series and actually compete. He’s 9 and3 overall and
he was able to get the third round submission of Magno Diaz. Uh it was a pretty good fight all the
way through honestly. I mean Diaz showed a little bit of promise here and there but Jordane was
just too much for him. Uh he wound up getting 39 seconds into the third round gets the rear naked
choke submission. As you can see in that right hand picture he landed that nasty elbow there in
that left picture. Holy crap. Um, never watching the UCBJJ again. It’s boring as hell. What’s
funny is right right before I jumped in here, I was looking I was scrolling and I saw a couple
of posts saying, “Oh, if you don’t like uh if you don’t like watching jiu-jitsu, you must not be
watching these matches right now.” And I’m like, “How can they really be that good?” I guess you
I guess you have to kind of be into BJJ in order to fight. But but my thing is it’s the same thing
with fights overall. But there’s so many different ways in MMA to win a fight and so many different
ways to fight a fight that you know um it it can be it’s entertaining you know it keeps you going
but I get it would be entertaining if you practice be yeah I guess it yeah if you know it in and
out for sure but the thing with with jiu-jitsu is like you get to the high level and you’re like
okay how what else is there. Like, what else is there? We’ve seen so much new [ __ ] come out.
We’ve seen so many people do so many different things. We’ve seen all of the submissions.
So, I can understand why people would be like, “What what else can be done? We’ve seen a million
rear naked chokes. We’ve seen a million, you know, arm bars.” It’s like, “What else are we going
to get on the street? No one wants to go to the ground.” But yeah. Well, yeah. You Cuz if you’re
fighting in the street, you’re fighting on asphalt and [ __ ] you go to the ground, you’re getting
scraped up, but you also don’t want to land on the ground after getting knocked out and bang your
head. So, it’s scary either way. But, uh yeah, that’s I mean I don’t know. I get it. I get why
people don’t like um stomped out. Yeah. Uh yeah, I mean I get it why people would get bored with it.
Um, and I understand I I I respect the art, but yeah, it’s hard for me to watch those events all
the way through. I’ll catch a I’ll catch a match here and there, but I can’t sit down and watch
it like I do MMA, you know, cuz MMA incorporates that and it’s fun to watch that cuz then you got
punches involved, which means as a guy’s trying to work his position to get a submission, he could
get punched in the [ __ ] face. And that’s what makes it entertaining. A lot of people don’t get
the technicality. There’s they’re not entertaining enough. Yeah. I mean, that that’s what I mean.
There’s there’s only so much you can do. And with there only being so much you can do, uh yeah,
without the punches mixed in, it takes away from it a little bit. So, once again, you do have to uh
Mikey Museti would get curb stomped in the street. Oh man. Yeah. I mean, unless he gets a
jump on you and wraps you up. Uh but yeah, most most people will be able to do something
about that. I get jiu-jitsu being a way to defend in in in a certain manner, but I mean
it’s it’s it’s always been something that uh people argue. So if Kayla or Rhonda got
a ghee ripped off, the views would go up. And it’s true. But anyway, Charles Gardane, speaking of
jiu-jitsu, gets the rear naked choke in the third round and uh beats the fighting nerds
guy Magno Diaz and uh gets the contract. Um and then we had the final fight of the night, Dam
uh Damen Pñas versus uh Victor Costa. This was I mean this was a good fight while it lasted
too. Uh Pinz, man, he’s just one of those guys that looks so comfortable in there and uh he just
he just put in work right away and and got the finish was swinging on. Yeah, that’s the thing.
He he looked comfortable in there, but you know, he was a little bit crazy with his punches just
kind of winding up and [ __ ] but he landed and uh he hurt Costa. So that’s what that’s what
needed to happen. He made it exciting. He was powerful and uh he got the win. So, first
round finish a minute and 46 seconds in in the middleweight division. Damen Pinez gets
the contract over Victor Costa and uh yeah, that was uh Dana White’s Contender Series.
We had three guys from Brazil, one American, um just a mix of people. Holy [ __ ] Uh Pinas.
Yeah. So, it’s funny is I think even even YouTube thought that that was saying something else,
Tyler, because it didn’t pop up on on the chat. It popped up on the screen, though. You can see
it right there. And if you read that fast enough, if you read that fast enough, it
sounds pretty bad. Gotcha, [ __ ] Oh, man. That’s nasty. Uh, anyway. Holy [ __ ]
Tyler just came. Tyler and Infinity just making jokes in here. This shit’s funny. But uh yeah, so
that was Dana White’s Contender Series. Another good week. Uh another good for the most part
fights all the way through. It’s good when you get all finishes. Uh and then yeah, no women
on this card. Uh last the last two times the women’s fought, uh the women fought, they all
got contracts. That’s how that’s how well they did. And it was it was fun. Even though they went
to decision, they all got contracts because it was great fights. So, no women on this one. We’ll
see what happens next week. I will preview the ne uh week nine on Sunday when I do the recap for
UFC 320 uh which we’ll be going over here in just a minute. And then uh yeah, any other Combat
Sports that comes up between now and then. So, let’s move on to other events happening this
weekend before we hit up 320. And the first one would be PFL. That if you didn’t know,
I’ll be like Dana White. If you don’t know, you now you know. But PFL has an event
this weekend. A pretty good one actually uh for that main for that main event at least.
Uh you got the rematch of Usmanagamed versus Pad Hughes uh in for the PFL vacant lightweight
championship. So, uh, we got Naga Medov, who’s 19-0, fighting Pad Hughes, who’s 14-2.
This card was absolutely zero hype. No one even knows about it cuz they have zero promo. Man,
you are speaking the words that I always do, which is PFL doesn’t know how to promote at all
whatso [ __ ] ever. You don’t even know when the hell they’re fighting. If I didn’t follow [ __ ] I
wouldn’t know either. That’s a That’s a sad part. Um, the other other fights on this card, I
mean, Cory Anderson, who former UFC fighter, fighting Dolled Yagshi Muradov, that’s a
[ __ ] tough ass name to say, but yeah, Cory Cory Anderson fighting in the co-main event
for the PFL vacant light heavyweight championship. So, what they’re doing here is they are trying to
trying to establish official actual weight class champions instead of tournament champions, super
fight champions, all this other [ __ ] [ __ ] And isn’t this [ __ ] on ESPN unlimited or
something? Like, no way I’m paying that much for. Damn, son. No, man. You’re right. You’re right.
It is. I did hear something about that and like what? Why? What? What are we doing, man?
PFL is PFL was supposed to be the number two organization after Bellator left. Not that
Bellator was much of a number two, but man, this is the [ __ ] I say all the time, too, Tyler,
which is why I’m like, “Fuck, you’re right.” Um, most people aren’t paying for it one way or
another. Yeah. Uh, but I but I don’t even know that too many people go out of their way to
stream this. That’s the sad part because it’s just no one gives a [ __ ] They need to do something
to change it up. So, you know, they thought the smart cage and the teams and this tournament and
the [ __ ] all this other [ __ ] was going to bring people in and it doesn’t. It doesn’t, man.
Put on good fights. Uh, build up your fighters, tell their stories. Uh, they got to know it’s
there first. And do [ __ ] promotion, promotion, promotion, promotion. when you’re when you’re a
big organization that has a lot of fighters that people know from the UFC, you got to capitalize on
that. And they don’t they don’t do a great job of that. Don Davis would disagree and say that he’s
he’s the best and blah blah blah, which is the, you know, president of PFL, but that [ __ ] don’t
know [ __ ] So, unfortunately, that’s the truth. And I hate to say it, but when when people come
in the chat and even talk about it, like Tyler, I mean, that’s how I know for sure. I don’t
know how hardcore Tyler is, but he sounds pretty hardcore fan. But even the people the
people that aren’t hardcore fans will even come in and be like, I don’t [ __ ] know what this is.
What’s that promotion that’s selling out arenas in Europe? They should try to be like that instead
of competing with the UFC. Uh promotion selling out arenas in Europe. What is that? it. I can I
can I don’t know. I’m not sure honestly. There’s a whole bunch of organizations I can think of. Um
I know Brave CF has been doing well. Uh there’s uh I mean well Verizon is uh is in Japan I think.
Oh, Octagon. Yeah, that’s that Octagon. That makes sense. Yeah, Octagon is definitely one of those.
So those are Yeah, overseas they do well. So yeah, stop trying to But that’s the thing. They’re
not even they’re not even competing with the UFC because they’re they’re so [ __ ] far behind.
It’s not even funny. They they’re they can’t even they can’t even smell a fart from the UFC because
they’re so far away. It’s the only way I know how to say it. Uh San Francisco and LA just tied off
topic. Oh, okay. Yeah, I forgot football was on right now. Yeah, this is about the time I I tune
out after a couple weeks of football. like goes away for me. I forget. Um anyway, so yeah, PFL.
Uh we also have uh Magomed Magomedov fighting in in this event. He fought for Bellator before. No
surprise there. They’re trying to compete with the UFC. They need to find a market that actually
gives a [ __ ] Yeah, that is 100% true. And see, they got people like Sergio Pettis, but I mean,
yes, Sergio Pettis hasn’t been great for a while. He was pretty good in the UFC for a little bit.
Uh, Anthony Pettis’s brother, and uh, he didn’t do the best in Bellator, but I think he might have
been champ at one point in Bellator. Let me see. Yeah, he was definitely the champ in Bellator
at one point, but then he went on a when he lost the belt to Patchy Mix, he went on a it was a
threeight losing streak, but he won his last one, his first fight in the PFL against Rufian
Stodd, which is a good opponent, but you know, since he left the UFC, not a lot of people pay
that much attention to him, so that’s unfortunate. Let’s look at the rest of this card. Colon Lock
Lockin, he’s he’s a decent fighter that I know. um Irish guy. Uh people are high on him. He’s
fighting Jack Cartwright. So that’s another fight. Archie Kan versus JJ Wilson. And those are the the
fights on your main card. So the the one I have marked out here, that second fight was supposed to
be um Connor’s boy from back in the day. Uh what’s his name? Ardam Lobof. He was supposed to fight on
this card. Colon lockin, didn’t he recently fight in the UFC? Yeah. Yeah, he was. And people thought
he was going to do a lot better, but he wound up being two and two in the UFC and uh and then went
went to the PFL. So, this is his first fight in the PFL cuz they released him. So, he just didn’t
live up to the hype. And when you don’t live up to the hype, they tend to get rid of you a little
bit faster, which is unfortunate. But, you know, they can come back. So, we’ll see how he does in
the PFL against a somewhat lower level competition and then maybe he can build his way back up to
the UFC. Um, but yeah, Ardam Lob was supposed to make his return after I don’t know how long he was
out from from MMA. Uh, he boxed a couple times if I remember correctly. He he was in Bare Knuckle
uh in 2021. That was the last time he fought was in Bare Knuckle where he retired. So then he came
back and uh he is back to MMA or was supposed to be back to MMA and fighting against uh Zubra Zubra
Takur Turovv. [ __ ] Anyway, he was one of the guys in he was one of the guys in uh Kabib’s camp
that that bullied [ __ ] Ardum back in the day. So, they had like a little blood feud going on
here and it would have been a great fight, but it got cancelled because Lob got injured. Ardam Lob
versus Oh, yeah. Here you go. Should have been on the main card. That’s a very promotable fight, but
it’s too late now. Yeah. Is the guy that punched McGregor in the cage at 229, right? Yeah. So,
he was a part of So, this was I mean that like I said, they had a feud. They had beef from way back
and that would have been a great [ __ ] fight. Like like Tyler said, promotable as all hell and
it wasn’t even on the main card cuz I mean who the [ __ ] is Archie Cobin and JJ Wilson? Like
who gives a [ __ ] about them? Put Ardum Lob in there even if he’s not I mean his his record is
[ __ ] horrible but he’s in that would have been entertaining. So what are we doing? This is the
problem with PFL. Promotional fail league is is basically what that [ __ ] what PFL stands for. I
don’t know, man. There’s not really even anything else on this card, unfortunately. Then I it’s like
there’s not much else, man. I hate to say it. Um it is what it is. I’m looking There’s one guy
that’s 4-0 fighting in the heavyweight division. punching bag. Yeah. Uh that’s about it though. So
PFL is happening I believe. Is that tomorrow? Yes, that is going on tomorrow. And uh it’s going to
be early, too. Looks like 11:00 a.m. Eastern. 11:30 a.m. Eastern. Jesus. So yeah, that’s that’s
going to be during the day if you’re interested in watching it. So yeah, tomorrow morning. Exactly.
Thailand. All right. So that’s it for PFL. There wasn’t much there. So I mean that that main event
is a good one. We all know I mean if you know the UFC and been a fan for a while, Cory Anderson was
there. We know Sergio Pettis. Um and then like you know Colon Lockin too, Jack Cartright. Couple ones
in there that you might know but uh yeah besides that not much else going on. So, let’s move on
to something a little more exciting, and that is another event happening uh on Saturday, except
this is a pay-per-view, and that’s what kind of sucks about it. So, um this is BKFC 82 happening
on Saturday. The king of violence and the queen of violence will be crowned. Right now, Mike
Perry is the king of violence in the BKFC. Oh, yeah. Sadly, it’s at the same time in the UFC.
It definitely is and that’s a damn shame. Uh what what’s Dave Feldman was on Ariel’s show
as well talking about that and about the fact that you know it’s a it’s a I think it’s a $50
event. So not as much as the UFC pay-per-views, but I mean if someone’s already paying $80 to
watch the UFC because they know almost everybody on that card or they’re just more into the UFC,
they’re not going to pay the $50 to watch this as well. So that’s tough. But it is what it is. Uh
not if you got the Russian leak. Yeah, exactly. Yep. Uh if you got those links, it don’t
cost anything. Um but yeah, we Mike Perry, former UFC fighter, as well as Jeremy Stevens. Uh
Mike Perry’s the king of violence. He’s undefeated in bare knuckle. Uh, and the last thing everybody
probably remembers is that he lost to Jake Paul in boxing, which is a damn shame because he’s
a [ __ ] menace when it comes to Bare Knuckle. It’s like Bare Knuckle was made for him. Uh, I
feel like he 100% belongs there and he’s 5-0 in Bare Knuckle and Jeremy Stevens is 3-0. So, uh, I
mean it it could be entertaining for sure. We got uh it’s weird because we got Mike Perry at
the press conference. We got Conor McGregor and his cracked out self at the press conference.
McGregor thought he was in the fight at the st. He did. I was just what I was about to get to.
He did. Conor was more hyped than [ __ ] Mike Perry and Jeremy Stevens. It was insane. He’s
screaming and yelling while he’s in between the the other two. It was insane. Who the [ __ ]
is that guy? That’s the obviously the Connor quote that was aimed at Jeremy Stevens when
Jeremy Stevens started talking [ __ ] during a press conference back in the day when no one
hardly knew who Jeremy Stevens was. So Connor, it’s a ironically enough is is the basically
the promoter. He’s the Dana White of BKFC at this point except a a little more of a fool. He
goes nuts. He’s yelling and screaming and [ __ ] Uh, I’m sure he’s hopped up on something
and you know, uh, it’s good promotion for them because he’s definitely hyping up
the crowd or whatever, but damn, he, uh, he’s on another level. It’s kind of crazy.
So, uh, but but I mean, Mike Perry versus Stevens can be [ __ ] an amazing fight, honestly.
Bare Knuckle is bloody, it’s brutal, and, uh, if if you’re into that type of [ __ ]
it’s fun to watch. Uh, but when the UFC is on, it’s going to be tough to get people to go watch
that [ __ ] Drugs and alcohol have ruined my life. So, on the on the other Holy [ __ ] Um, other
fights on that card, we got the Queen of Violence being crowned. Christine FA versus Jessica Borga.
They There’s beef here, too. And they they’ve been going at it since they’ve been matched up. They’ve
had press conferences in the past and it was kind of insane because Jessica Borga has uh has an OAF
and uh she’s not shy and she likes to um she likes to show a lot of things happening. Christine Fa
called her oh my god what did she call her? Uh, it’s like the card last week. McGregor came in
the cage after this [ __ ] main event and was tweaking out of the this world and was acting
like it was the craziest fight ever. Yeah, he is like a the cross between WWE and
just the best promoter ever because he hypes everything up like if he was the one in
there doing it and he can guarantee a million dollars that everything’s going to be the best
in the world. I don’t know. It’s It’s insane. But yeah, I mean BKFC has a lot of events,
too. I only really talk about the bigger ones, you know, where there’s multiple fighters on
the card that I know, unless it’s just like a big main main event. So, I like it, don’t get
me wrong. I’ll watch it if it’s on and there’s nothing else on, but I’m not going to go out
of my way. I would love to watch this fight, but I will be here live on the watch party for
UFC 320, so that’s not going to happen. I’ll watch it later. I’ll catch the highlights, but
FAJA versus Borga. That should be a fun fight, too, because they they got a lot of bad blood.
Um, so Jimmy Rivera is on his card as well, former UFC fighter, was supposed to be fighting
Frankie Edgar, which I don’t know why the [ __ ] they ever even thought that was a good idea, but
Frankie Edgar, who got knocked out multiple times, massively knocked out multiple times at the
end of his career, retired from the UFC, and then a few years later comes over and tries
to fight in the BKFC. And um props to Dave Feldman for um props to Dave Feldman for really looking
into the health and well-being of Frankie Edgar. We’ll be shaking in excitement for a UAE Warriors
three title fight card at the end of the month. Yeah. Yeah. [ __ ] He said just kidding.
But that’s [ __ ] funny. Um, but yeah, so Frankie Edgar didn’t get cleared. Uh, he got
tested but multiple times, various different things they tested, I guess, for his brain health
and everything else, and they just wouldn’t clear him to fight. So, you know, he’s getting
knocked out with 4 oz gloves on in MMA. I mean, what do you think’s going to happen in Bare
Knuckle? Uh, I don’t know. Seems a little bit ignorant to think that, uh, it was a good idea to
have him on this event at all, but they did have him there. He was at one of the press conferences.
He was talking about how happy he was to come back and fight. Unfortunately, he doesn’t get to. So,
stepping in for him. We got Timmy Mason. Don’t know much about him. He’s 3 and2 in uh BKFC,
I guess. And yeah, he’s fighting Jimmy Rivera, who’s two and two, so nothing crazy there. We
got Carl Robersonson versus Uluual Bamb Bambos, uh, who looks like a [ __ ] mean [ __ ] but
Robersonson fought in the UFC as well. Uh, and they are both making their BKFC debut. Uh,
Phil Carappa versus Quinton Gaskins. And now we’re getting into names. I don’t know who the
[ __ ] any of these guys are. So, there’s only a few more fights after that anyway. But yeah, these
this king and queen of violence uh is, you know, could be some really great fights at the top of
that card and then some recognizable names in the the next couple fights after that or before that.
So, not a bad card. Go back and watch it after the UFC cuz there ain’t no way anybody’s watching this
instead of the UFC on Saturday. So, speaking of the UFC, let’s talk about a couple of these fight
announcements that happened earlier this week. Dana White went live on Instagram and uh announced
the UFC Qatar event happening later in the month of November, November 22nd. And uh headlining
that card, we got Armen Turukian finally coming back. Uh and after a bunch of grappling events
and some crazy like food eating videos or some [ __ ] like that. I don’t even know that you
can call them mukbangs. This fool was just doing weird [ __ ] with food. Imagine how crazy a BKFC
buildup would be if Coked up McGregor actually fought that. You know what? Before I moved on,
I should have talked about that because yeah, there’s a lot of talk about Connor and the White
House fight and you know, he’s talking all that up, but during this whole press conference for the
BKFC, uh, all he could talk about is his beef with Mike Perry and and how he would beat the [ __ ]
out of Jeremy Stevens. and he’s like, “Yeah, who? These two guys are just fighting to to fight
the the king of the the the real king of violence and all this other [ __ ] Just talking crazy
like Connor does.” Um, and yeah, it was nuts, man. And and Connor says he’s going to fight
one day in BKFC. He still has two fights on his contract for the UFC. One of which he’s saying
he 100% guarantees it’s already written, signed, sealed, delivered, and uh that he’s fighting
on the White House card. But I don’t know, man. You never know. We’re We’re barely I mean,
we got some months before that, like 8 months before that card. We’ll see what happens. If he
can keep himself out of trouble long enough and maybe get down to actually training without any
kind of street drugs involved, but we’ll see. So, yeah, a little bit more on Connor there. I should
have said that while we were on the BKFC [ __ ] but anyway, we got Armen Surukin finally coming
back and fighting. He’s never fulfilling crap at the rate he’s in. Yeah, I know. That’s the bad
part cuz we want to see him back, but you don’t want to you don’t want to see I mean I don’t
care if he gets his ass whooped. I’m not that big of I’m not really that big of a Connor fan,
honestly. Uh McGregor probably signed contract with his plugs and thought it was thought it was
a UFC contract, maybe a movie. I don’t even know if he can get a [ __ ] He’s he’s he’s doing well
enough to [ __ ] keep promoting the BKFC stuff, which I mean is probably helping that company. He
is a stakeholder in that company. Um so yeah, he he’s doing what makes him money, that’s for sure.
But uh we got Armenukian fighting Dan Hooker, which I feel like has real good potential to be a
great fight. Finally, Sukqian coming back after, you know, the injury that pulled him out of
a title fight and uh hasn’t fought since. So, we’ll see if uh might have signed an
OF account with someone else to cheat. Oh [ __ ] Yeah, there’s so much you
can say about Conor, but um yeah, Sugian versus Hooker for the main event
at UFCQar. And then we got in the co-main uh former UFC champion Balo Muhammad fighting
Ian Machado Garary which that could be a good fight too. I mean Balo showed us that he was
good enough to win a title but not good enough to hold on to it. So he couldn’t even defend it
once. Lost to Jack Delena who’s fighting later this month I think. Um UFCar sick. Yeah. Yeah
they this is going to be a good one. It’s going to be during the day too I believe. So, I will
probably be doing a watch party for that one. Uh, when is that? November 22nd. Yeah, there we go.
So, we got Balam Muhammad versus Ian Machado Gary in that co-main event. Vulcan Ozamir versus Alonzo
Menfield. Felipe Limo versus Daniel Marcos. Uh, Bescat Al-Makan versus Alexandre Temp Toporia
who’s uh Ilia Toporia’s brother. Assu Almabayv versus Alex Perez. That’s going to be a
sick fight. Sergey Spivac versus Shamil uh Gazv. Damn. Yeah, there’s some good fights
on this card. Bogdan Grad versus Luke Riley. Uh Taigear Beckov versus Kyoji Horiguchi. Holy
[ __ ] I didn’t even know that fight was on here. Yeah, this looks like a a damn good card.
No way. The blob is back. Yeah. Yeah, man. Uh, this looks like a good card. So, that’s something
to look forward to for sure. And yeah, it says Oh, it doesn’t have a time yet. But being in Qatar, I
believe I heard it was going to be a daytime card. So, I will definitely be doing a watch party on
a solo watch party on that one cuz that’s what I do on those. Anyway, back to this. We have uh Oh,
yeah. That was it though. That was it. I was just going over the card. So, that looks like a good
card for uh UFCQar. Looking forward to that one happening November 22nd. So, at least now we know
we got some good fights going on in November. But now that we’re on the UFC train, we’ll move into
UFC 320. First, just a reminder, UFC 320 watch party podcast happening live during the main card
of UFC 320, Uncleia versus Pada 2. Tyler says, “If every card was in the Middle East, we would
have UFC 300 twice a year.” Yeah. Oh, man. Uh, some people want fights during the day. I I enjoy
them being at night, but I mean, leaves the night to do other [ __ ] I guess. Uh, but yeah,
this one’s definitely happening at night. So, 7:00 p.m. Arizona time. account for whatever time
zone you’re in. But just know that when UFC 320, when that main card goes live, we will be
live as well here in the studio. I’ll have Infinity who’s in the chat right now. I got uh
Clark who’s been on the on the podcast on the Watch Party before pretty much every single
one. And then uh Bob Dole was here last last uh pay-per-view as well. He will be returning for
his second appearance on the Watch Party podcast. Uh Clark is the golf and glory that you see there
in the uh poster that logo and uh Infinity is robbing Clark and Infinity is DJ Infinity. That’s
his logo there as well. He has a YouTube channel for his podcast, the Gcast. Um he’s got some
stuff up there. You can go check him out and uh you know, subscribe and do all the good stuff for
YouTube. Help his channel grow as well. but he’ll be here on Saturday live in studio for the watch
party podcast for UFC 320. We will be live when the main card is live happening Saturday. Uh yeah,
no problem infinity. We’ll talk more about it as well on Saturday. But yeah, watch Party Podcast.
Don’t miss it. Make sure you’re subscribed here and you hit that notification bell. It’ll tell
you when we go live uh or when I go live or when I post anything. I’ve been posting some more shorts
lately, making some edits with with the fights and stuff coming up. Check those out on uh YouTube
shorts. Uh it’ll notify you when I post those as well. So, go check all that out. Make sure you
like this video while you’re here. And if you’re here after the live, comment as well. Um do all
the fun stuff for me. Help me grow the channel, please. Appreciate it. Let’s move into this actual
event now. UFC 320 Magamed Uncle versus Alex Pada the rematch part two and uh the first fight we
know Uncle beat Pada. I’ll be over here trudging through the mud watching the early prelims. [ __ ]
yeah. I watch all the prelims too, man. I just uh it’s a little early to go live for those because
um you know it’s harder to get everybody together. I could go live on my own, but then that just
takes a huge chunk of my day and sometimes I got [ __ ] to do. So, uh, but I’m always watching the
fights, whether it’s on my phone or I’m sitting on the couch watching it on TV. I’ll definitely
be watching all the prelims. And I like to make sure I’m all prepped up and ready to go for the,
uh, watch party during the main card. But, uh, it’s hard for it’s hard to sit here for [ __ ]
like six hours, too. That’s tough. Um, so yeah, maybe sometime down the road we’ll start doing
prelims as well. Who knows? every once in a while. For now though, it’s just the main card
and and I’ll definitely be watching the prelims and I usually talk about them at the top of the
show when we start, you know, once we go live, we’ll do all the intros and then talk about
the prelims before we get started on the main card. So, yeah, join in on Saturday, Tyler. You
can jump back in chat, make us laugh some more, and uh, you know, [ __ ] with us while we
have some drinks and watch the fights. So, I mean, what do you want to listen to the regular
broadcast for? I mean, they don’t even talk back. Paramount Eagles might change that. Yeah. Yeah,
I know. It still takes a lot of time, though. So, we’ll see. But, uh, also homemade event, I
have a home gym area right in front of my TV, so I usually work out during the prelims.
That’s that’s a that’s the way to do it, man. That sounds like a good plan. Um, but for
the co-main event, we have a second title on the line. Morav Deval Villi versus Cory Sanhagen
for the men’s bantamweight championship. Uh, this should be a good one. Do you say that leg
is toast after three leg kicks of uh cuz if not, it won’t be the same. Are you talking about
Uncle Peda? cuz yeah, I mean, if Alex comes out throwing, he needs to actually throw the goddamn
leg kicks this time, though. He didn’t do much of that in that first fight. I know he talked about
being injured and being only like 40% or whatever, but yeah, he definitely needs to come out. Um, but
yeah, it’ll be the same outcome if he doesn’t do that. That’s for damn sure. So, we also got
Morab and Cory fighting for the bantamweight championship. That’s going to be a fun one, I
think. Uh, unless Morab just fully dominates like he has in the past. Uh, know the broadcast
after three leg kicks. Oh, the leg is toast, man. Oh [ __ ] I see what you’re saying. Yeah, that’s
funny. Uh, that’s the point, too. Yeah, it’s just like why do you want to listen? I mean, I love Joe
Rogan, don’t get me wrong, but I’d rather listen to his podcast than listen to him commentate
most of the time cuz Yeah, it’s just whatever. It is what it is. That’s why the watch party, we
listen to it. You guys won’t be able to hear it, but we hear it in our ears just so we kind
of know what’s happening in the background, but uh yeah, we we like to just talk [ __ ] So,
that’s that’s what we like to do and and we like to have fun. So, come join us. But, uh yeah,
I feel like this is going to be a fun card. Uh especially with the the three fights at the top,
but that whole main card is good. I like it. So, uh let’s get into it. We’ll start with the uh
we’ll start with the prelims. Um, yeah. Uh, we’ll start with the prelims because like I said,
I watch all the prelims. I like to go over all the all the fights. So, we’ll start down at the bottom
with the women starting off the card. Seems to be a thing now where they start the card, the prelim
card with women. And we had a few in a row there that were damn good fights. Um, the last one
wasn’t as good, but uh, yeah. Let’s see what this one brings us. Veronica Hardy versus Broen
Walker. Veronica Hardy is the the the wife of uh Dan Hardy, who fought in the UFC way back in
the day, the crazy red mohawk guy. Uh he was a commentator for a while, too, until he uh until he
talked some [ __ ] to the refs and almost jumped in the cage wanting them to stop a fight. And
then apparently he was a dick to everybody in the back or something. I don’t know. But they let
him go. Now he’s over I think he’s doing PFL. Um I’m not even sure anymore. But anyway, Veronica
Art is his wife. She’s a pretty damn good fighter. Doesn’t have the best record in the world, but
she has a lot of potential and uh not bad to look at as well. She’s fighting Broen Walker. We got
Veronica Hardy at 9 and5 overall, 4-5 in the UFC. Broen Walker is 7-4 overall, 0 and2 in the UFC.
So, she’s looking to get her first UFC win. Um, and Veronica Hardy’s looking to uh get herself
to a 500 record in the UFC. We’ll see what that one brings in the women’s flyweight division.
Next up, we got the men fighting. Oh [ __ ] Oh, why am I going to change it? It’s right there.
Another spouse of another former UFC fighter, this time being a woman. Um, Paige Vanzant’s husband,
Austin Vanderford, is fighting uh Ramse Brahimage. Rahim Maj is 12-5 overall and 4-3 in the UFC.
Austin Vanderford 1-0 in the UFC. Came in finally, he fought in the Contender Series a while back.
He won, but they it was on one of those night, one of those really bad nights where everybody went to
decision and nobody seemed like they had any sense of urgency to win. And Dana White went off on a
[ __ ] tangent and ripped everybody a new [ __ ] And there was not too many contracts given out
and he was one of the ones that maybe should have gotten one but didn’t. The greatest fighter turned
off creator turned off creator’s husband. Oh, I see what you’re saying. Yeah. Um, I don’t know
if anybody’s seen any of Paige Vanzant’s stuff, but uh, yeah, unfortunately he gets
involved in it sometimes. And yeah, but anyway, she’s still fun to look at. I guess
she hasn’t been doing much. Last thing she did was the last thing she did was the power slap, and
I think she’s still involved with that. She fought Bare Knuckle uh, once or twice, too, I think.
But anyway, her husband’s fighting in this event, Austin Bandit Ford. He looked pretty good in his
first fight. I think he got a first round finish. Um, let me double check that. But I believe
he got a Oh, no, it was a second round finish against Nikolai Veriteneov. So, um, he fought
in the LFA before that he was in Bellator. So, yeah, he’s been around um, looking to extend
his win his wins in the UFC and go to 2 and 0 uh to and beating Brahimage. hopefully for him.
Uh Brahimage is on a two-ight win streak with two performance of the night bonuses on both
of them. First round finishes both uh one TKO, one submission for Brahimage. So, he’s going
to bring the heat early and we’ll see if Austin Vanderord’s wrestling can uh help him out with
that. I mean, he’s got some decent striking as well, but he’s really known for his wrestling,
so we’ll see how that fight goes. Next up, we have Punahelli Soraniano versus who I just
mentioned, Nikolai Veriteneov. Just lost to Austin Vanderford. Um, coming back to try to get
back in that win column. He’s 1-2 in the UFC, 13-6 overall. This is in the men’s welterweight
division. Punel Sorano’s a pretty fun fighter. Uh, he’s I mean, he’s 5-4 in the UFC, 11-4 overall.
But, I mean, I’ve seen some good fights from him, so this could be a good one in that fight. Next
up, Patchy Mix coming back after that embarrassing ass loss in his UFC debut. I don’t know what the
[ __ ] this guy was thinking. Coming over from Bellator/PFL and everyone was excited to see him
come over to the UFC finally. It was one of those guys that we’ve always talked about in in the
bantamweight division that could definitely go toe-to-toe with some of the best in the UFC. That
was the initial thought, but unfortunately came over to the UFC and just did not follow through. I
I mean, he didn’t look the best in his last couple fights in Bellator, but man, like you would think
coming into the UFC finally after so long of just waiting and trying, you know, just waiting to
see when you’re going to get there and then just eating [ __ ] like he did. Uh, it was tough, man.
It was tough to watch. He’s 20 and two overall, 0 and one in the UFC. Like I said, after that
nasty loss, um it was a it was a decision loss, but he just looked horrible. He looked like
he didn’t belong in the cage with any any UFC fighter, much less any other fighter. But, uh,
he’s coming in against a a guy making his UFC debut. He’s 16 and three overall, Jacob Wicklax.
I think that’s how you say his name. Uh, but yeah, he’s coming in on his UFC debut trying to fight
Patchy Mix. We’ll see if Patchy Mix can get this guy out of there and look somewhat good.
That might help him. This guy single-handedly killed any hype for anyone outside. Yeah, I
mean it was bad, man. But the it didn’t help that anybody else that had come over like like uh
well, Michael Venom Paige hasn’t done that bad, but I mean if you look at Pit Bull, that was a
horrible performance coming in as well. So yeah, him and Pitull just did not do good for anybody
coming out coming in from other organizations, but it is what it is. Sometimes when you get to
the level of of fighters that are at the UFC, it’s a different story than whatever you’ve been
doing outside of the UFC. So next up, we got uh the women, a second women’s fight, Macy Shaison
versus Jana Santos. uh used to be Yanukunitskaya, but she actually married Thiago Santos if
you remember him back in the day from the UFC. Wasn’t that long ago, but uh anyway, she
they’re fighting in the women’s uh bantamweight division. Macy Shaison’s 10-4 overall, 8-4 in the
UFC. Santos is 16-8 overall, 6-5 in the UFC. And both these girls got some pretty good striking. Um
they kind of have a little bit of everything. So, this could be a fun fight or it could just
they could just nullify each other and make it a boring decision fight. You never know with
the women. Shaison is Holy [ __ ] Damn, son. Uh, surprise, [ __ ] Yes, she is. Oh [ __ ] that’s hilarious. But yes, Macy Shaison
is a woman fighting Jana Santos. Santos makes up for it a little bit. Um, but anyway, we’ll
see how that fight goes. Both of them have some good skills all around, so could be a fun
fight there. Next up, we have another Santos, Daniel Santos versus Juang Wu. Oh, Juong Yu. Yeah,
Yu Juong. I never know what these guys Japanese guys and their names. I can never remember which
way it’s supposed to go. It’s listed in various different ways and everywhere. So, it is what it
is. Anyway, he’s undefeated at 9 and0. He’s 1-0 in the UFC. Daniel Santos is 12-2 overall, 3-1 in the
UFC. So, Juong Yu is looking to uh continue to be undefeated and uh move over to 10 and0 with this
with this fight against Santos. Santos looking to get his fourth win in the UFC. We’ll see how this
one comes out. Men’s featherweight division there in that prelim. Next up, we have Chris Gutierrez
versus uh Fared Boserat, who is undefeated, 13-0, 4-0 in the UFC. Gutierrez 22 and five overall,
10-3 in the UFC. So, Boserat 13-0, man. [ __ ] Uh, let’s see what his wins were. All by decision
except for one was a submission. That’s that’s sad. Uh it was a first round finish though by arm
triangle choke uh against Clayson Rodriguez. He hasn’t really fought the most the highest level of
competition. He fought Deone Black Shear. That’s not bad. And he fought Victor Hugo. So decisions
all the way around except for one submission, but still undefeated 4-0 in the UFC. Chris
Gutierrez, uh pretty fun fighter if I remember correctly. He’s 10 and three in the UFC coming
off of a twoight winning streak with wins over Quang Lee and John Castanada. Both decision wins.
So, unfortunately, we might be going to decision with this one. So, let’s hope it’s at least
um high output with the striking or something to make that one good. Next up, we have Edmond
Shabbazian versus Andre Mun. This one should be a fun fight because Shabbazian is one of those
guys that comes out and puts it all out there. Mun is a tough fighter. Six and three in the
UFC, 24-7 overall, 15-5 overall for Shabbazian, 8 and five in the UFC. Edmond Shabbazian, if you
remember, was in the camp of Ronda Rousey back in the day when he was coming up. But, uh, yeah, that
should be a decent fight there in the prelims. And then we got the featured prelima Gotautier versus
Tristan Tristan Fines making his UFC debut. He’s 10 and three overall. Gotaier is 2-0 in the UFC.
Both of those fights have been exciting. Uh 8-1 overall. Let’s see. His two fights in the UFC were
against Robert Valentine with a first round TKO win and then Jose Medina also a first round
win. And both of those he had performance of the night bonuses in. So he likes to get in there
and get things going quickly and finish the fight before he can even get out of the first round. So
Treston Vines is looking to get his first UFC win uh in his debut against somebody with that kind
of a record. That would be a big win for him if he was able to pull that off. So we’ll see.
Mini and Ganu. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. And I mean, he’s exciting, too. Like, I don’t know. Hanu
wasn’t pulling all that off in the beginning. But that should be a fun fight to lead us into the
main card. And that gets started with Joe Piper versus Abus uh not Nurmagamed off, just Magamed
off. Pyer versus Magomedov. Piper’s 14-3 overall, 5-1 in the UFC. Of course, gets that loss and
every everyone’s high on him until he loses and then they all [ __ ] call fraud check and [ __ ]
And I understand I guess to a certain extent, but uh Oh, thanks. Um I understand. I get I guess uh
he’s not on a two-ight win streak because one of those was grappling. That’s annoying. Oh, no, he
is. So, he beat Kelvin Gastelum in his last fight back in June, uh, unanimous decision. And then
he had a TKO win over Mark Andre Bario, which was his first fight back after that loss to Jack
Hermanson, which everyone was annoyed with. But, uh, he comes back against Mark Andre Bario and
gets a first round TKO win and gets a performance of the night bonus. So, all that fraud check and
there you go. Um but then he comes up and fights uh Kelvin Gastelum. Wins by unanimous decision.
You know that wasn’t the the most exciting fight ever, but it was a good fight for him and he
showed and proved he can fight against the bigger names as well. So now he’s fighting Ava Smagamed
who is uh 29 and 28 and six 28-6 4-2 in the UFC. Look at 14 and two by KO TKO while Pyer is 5- one.
Uh 7-2 and 7-2 for the rest of those categories as well as Pyer being 3-1 and 2-1. Um they’re both
on win streaks. Magamemedov on a three-ight win streak. Let’s take a look at his opponents. Uh his
last fight was against Michelle Peda. Unanimous decision win there. A submission win against Bruno
Feda in the third round before that. and then a decision win against Worley Alves. Uh so he’s
fought once this year and that was that fight against Peda his last fight. Before that he had
two losses in a row, but that was Tawn Strickland and Kyle Bahalio. So it seems like when he fights
the guys about at the level of Joe Piper right now, he he tends to win. So that’s something to
look out for. But I mean I think Piper’s hungry right now being on that twoight win streak. Uh
especially after all the [ __ ] with the loss. So, I think he’s on a roll right now and he’s
definitely going to be coming out looking to finish somebody. And Magomeov might be that
guy. But with Magomeov and his skills being on a three-ight win streak and beating guys that are
usually a little bit higher level than Joe Piper, you never know. This is a tossup. Uh, let’s see.
Does it give me odds? It looks like Magameov is a slight underdog. According to tabology, Piper is a
minus 220 favorite. So, who knows? Um, I feel like this one’s a bit of a tossup. You know, they both
have skills. They can both strike. They both got uh Magameov has more, I think, more submissions.
Uh, what is what do you say? Seven and two. And then, um, Her was three in one. Yeah, three in
one. So, he’s got some submissions in there, too. So, I think they’ll be able to mix it
up well. Piper can be very exciting. We’ve seen him get some good good knockouts and
but Avis is is right up there with him. So, I just think this is going to be a fun fight and
it’s a good way to start off the main card. And that brings us to the next fight on the main card.
Josh EMTT versus Yousef Zalo. And you want to talk about exciting and having some heavy hands.
Josh Emtt is that. We’ve seen him lose in the past of course. Um he’s 19 and5 overall, 10 and
five in the UFC, but I mean we’ve seen him with some crazy knockouts. Uh most of his wins come by
decision, but when he gets his hands on you and he lands a big punch, as we saw with uh [ __ ]
Mr. Flatether, Bryce Mitchell, we saw him damn near take Bryce Mitchell’s life. His soul started
leaving his body when he got knocked out by Joe Piper. I mean Joe Piper. [ __ ] I just looked at
Joe Piper’s name when he got knocked out by Josh Hem. That was a nasty knockout. I mean, the the
craziest knockout uh against Bryce Mitchell. So, um he did lose after that to Lone Murphy.
That was his last fight, but as we saw, Lone Murphy get that nasty uh spinning back elbow
win in his last fight. Um and now is possibly getting the title shot. So, you know, you lose
to somebody who’s about to fight for the title, like it’s understandable. We get it. He’s a higher
level. You’re just working your way in there. So, he’s been on a couple lose, you know, win, lose,
lose, win, lose. So, maybe it’s time for him to win, unless he’s going to finish that that
pattern and uh lose twice in a row again. We’ll see. Uh Yousef Zo is pretty impressive on his own,
though. He’s uh never been finished. uh only lost by decision and yeah he’s 9-0 by sub four uh four
and five by decision and uh 4-0 by KO TKO 7 and3 UFC record 17 and5 overall and let’s take a look
at his last wins of damn one two three 4-0 in the UFC no seven and three so he his his record was
broken up. He did nothing but he lost some fights in in the UFC, got cut and then came back. So, in
his in his last four fights in the UFC, he has won uh all by submission except one was by decision.
So, Josh Hammond is looking to keep this one on the feet for sure, but as you can see by that knee
from Zel, he can he can fight on the feet as well. He’s got a perform a couple performance of the
night bonuses in there against Jack Shore and Jarno Erenss. Uh his last fight was against
Kelvin Kedar where he got a win by unanimous decision. Oh, Tyler’s back. What’s up, Tyler? Uh
so yeah, he’s going to be looking to possibly get this to the ground, but he can fight on the feet
as well, but he’s got to survive that Josh Hammet [ __ ] crazy overhand, right? And the power in
both his hands. So, this should be a fun fight for the second one on the main card. Next up, we
get into the serious fights and that is starting with Yuri Prohaskca versus Khalil Roundtree. And
this fight I’m [ __ ] looking forward to 100%. And that’s cuz we know what kind of a savage Yuri
Pasca is. But we also saw the war that Khalil Roundtree went through. And I say him because he
didn’t put I mean he got some real good hits in on Pada. But Pada just [ __ ] mangled his face.
That’s the best way I could say it. And it was a crazy fight, but I give Round Tree all the credit
in the world for sticking in there. He was tough as hell. He was durable. And I mean it took it
took Pada really to hurt him so bad he couldn’t continue. And of course that’s the point, but a
lot of times guys get a flash KO or you know catch a liver punch or some [ __ ] and then and that’s
what ends him. But Roundtree really took all the damage in the world. And that’s not always a good
thing, but [ __ ] it was impressive to watch him fight through all of that adversity and still
kind of stand up and and hold his own here and there. So I think Zo is going to win. I think
that Josh EMTT is too focused on overhands and winging shots, especially if he starts losing. No,
that’s that’s uh Yeah, I I agree is what I meant to say. Um that’s kind of what I was saying except
just not in so many words. I think I think Zo’s best bet is to get him on the ground, but I mean
EMTT if he catches you early super dangerous. Uh, and he is usually winging punches, but I feel
like that’s just his style. Not so much that he’s messy. But when he gets in trouble, yeah,
it’s that’s a problem. So, I mean, you have a point all the way around. Uh, Josh Hammond is
scary though with those hands. So, we’ll see if he uses them correctly or gets too wild and
then Zo winds up getting the best of them. It’ll be tough. It’ll be a tough one. Uh we’ll just kind
of have to wait and see how that first round plays out or the first couple minutes of the first
round. But in this one, Yuri Pasca versus Cleo Roundtree. Uh Prohaska 5 and2 in the UFC. Look
at 27 wins by KO TKO. That’s insane. He’s got 31 uh 31 wins overall. So almost all those have
been KO’s. 3-1 by sub. 1 and0 by decision. and he’s coming off a win. Cleo Round Trees 10-6 in
the UFC, uh 9 and3 by KOT, TKO, 0 and1 by sub, and 5-2 by decision. He’s also coming off a win.
And yeah, with Yuri, like I was saying, he has all those all those uh KO, TKOs’s, and that’s what I
mean, he’s damn good at that. He fought in Ryzen where he was 11-1 before he came to the UFC. And
he’s coming off that win over Jamal Hill, TKO in the third round by ground and pound. But, you
know, we’ve seen him do do that to many people. Uh Alexander Rakage, who you see in that lefth
hand picture, uh Dominic Ray is in the right. Um his last loss was to Peda. His last two losses
actually where he, you know, was fighting for the belt in his in the last loss that he had. Then he
came back and fought former champ Jamal Hill and wins. Got a performance of the night bonus there.
Got a performance of the night bonus against Alexander Rakage as well where he got a TKO win.
So I mean he’s he’s uh he’s usually winning or losing by KO TKO. Um so yeah, let’s see. What is
what is this saying? That doesn’t even make sense. Anyway, um yeah, has a lot of a lot of wins over
a lot of big names. Dominic Reyes, Vulcanos Demir, CB Doway, Fabio Maldonado. So, I mean, yeah.
Uh Yuri’s that guy. And he’s he’s one of those guys that looks like he could live by the sword,
die by the sword. Yeah, exactly. He’s definitely one of those guys. And uh I feel like him versus
Roundtree was probably the best matchup you can make right now because Khalil has also beat Jamal
Hill uh and and put up a good fight against um against Alex Peda. And as you can see landed some
punches of his own on on Alex Jamal Hill he beat by unanimous decision. So, he didn’t finish him
like Yuri did, but uh he got all the way to the fourth round with Alex Pada, which is, you know,
not really heard of unless you beat him. He beat Anthony Smith uh by TKO. Got a performance of the
night there. Got a fight of the night with that Alex Pada fight, by the way. And then uh Chris
Dawkins he beat in the first round by uh TKO as well. Also another performance bonus. Khalil’s
got a lot of performance bonuses. He’s got one against Carl Robersonson who’s fighting in BKFC
this weekend. I was talking about that earlier. He beat him by TKO back in 2022. He’s got a lot
of [ __ ] uh performance of the night bonuses. So, that’s that’s a sign of a of a good fighter
that puts on good fights. It’s going to be interesting to see Cle in a messy fight where he’s
not controlling the flow. Yeah, cuz I mean Yuri is so long. He throws those wild kicks and punches.
I think it’s more that he’s uh I think it’s more that he’s just awkward uh the way that he strikes.
So, it’s going to be an interesting fight, man. Because yeah, Khalil likes to do certain things
and if he can’t do those, he gets frustrated. And uh yeah, we’ll just see cuz I think I think Yuri
frustrates a lot of people. Alex obviously has his his number for sure be beating him twice, you
know, but uh not too many people have a beat on on Yuri like that. So, it’ll be an interesting
fight because Khalil will definitely go to war and Yuri’s down for it, too. So, man, this could
be a classic. Uh, so it’ll be a fun one. I’m looking forward to it. Let’s get to this co-main
event, the first title of the night. Bantamweight Championship belt. Morav Devali versus Cory
Sanhagen. And uh this is interesting just because Cory’s been one of those guys that tends
to get to the spot where he’s in contention for the belt and then just drops drops a fight and
and he can’t make his way back up there quick enough. Uh he fought for the belt once before
though against Podder Yan and lost that one. But I mean it seems like he gets up there to the
top and then just kind of falters. And that’s what I’m worried about with him in this fight here,
cuz Morab is one of those guys that is very hard to fight because of his fighting style. You
know, the the the gas tank that never ends. And uh the gas tank that never ends, the takedowns
that are that are just immense. Like so many [ __ ] takedowns all the time. He has all the
records for takedowns. And on top of that, you know, he just is a hard guy to get out of there.
like you you cannot finish the guy. So, I mean, he’s been submitted once in his career. He’s lost
two fights, but uh those two fights were in the uh he’s lost four fights, I’m sorry. Two of those
were in the UFC. They were the first two fights that he fought in, and people started downing on
him and thinking he was nothing. Comes back and now is on a 13ight win streak. And I mean, now
he’s the champ. It took him forever to become a champ because he had his best friend and training
partner. 60 takedowns against Yan. Insanity. Yeah. No [ __ ] Uh, insane, man. I just there’s insane
numbers. I I don’t even know how to explain it, but you can just just by looking at that 60
takedowns against one guy is [ __ ] crazy. So, yeah, Morab, I mean, his best friend and training
partner was the champ in that division in the bantamweight division for a long time. So, and
they would never fight each other. And while Morab was making his way up there, everyone
wondered, is he going to get up there, get to the point where he’s the number one contender,
and then is he going to have to fight Eljo and will they fight each other? But they refused to
fight each other. They said that they would never do it. And it kind of held Morab back. But, you
know, uh, Elmaine, as we know, moved up in weight and allowed, you know, maybe not allowed, but by
default, Morab was able to get that title shot, gets the win against Sugashan, who previously beat
Eljo for the belt. Uh, so I mean, he kind of got his get back for his brother and beat uh beat
Sugashan twice. So, Shawn came back trying to get his belt back and was not able to win. Morab
has defended what, three times at this point. So, he’s on a 13 fight win streak. 13-2 overall
in the UFC, 3-0 by Kotko, 2-0 uh 2-1 by sub, and 15-3 by decision. A lot of decisions, but
you know, his fights are like that. I mean, like I said, he never runs out of gas, and uh he’s
he’s constant with the taked down. He has a lot of control. Uh he gets all the dominant positions
and hold, you know, might hold people down, but in the end, he’s a dominant champion. So,
it’s hard to argue with that. I know some people might not like his style, but Corey Sanhagen
has an exciting style because you see him with the flying knees all the time. He’s knocked down
multiple people with him. He’s 8 and0 by KO TKO, 3-1 by sub, 7-4 by decision. He’s coming off
a win on his own as well, 11-4 in the UFC. Um, I feel like, oh man, I feel like this could be
a really good fight or it’s going to be a long decision. Uh, and that’s only because Morab will
if he takes control right away and and uh Cory gets frustrated and can’t do anything with those
takedowns and and with the wrestling. I mean, Morav has crazy chain wrestling. When you know
he gets you to a point and you get out of any position that he likes you to be in, he will work
his way to the next dominant position and get you there. So, it’s crazy. It’s it’s technical. It’s
[ __ ] tiring. uh tiring 100% for that for that fighter that’s fighting him, but to watch as well
sometimes. But I mean, I think he’s a great champ. He’s definitely overcome the uh kind of the the
quietness he had going on before. He’s really made his voice known. He’s doing skits on on uh Tik Tok
and Instagram and [ __ ] He’s, you know, making his his name known and uh he’s become a pretty
good champ. So, I like seeing him up there. Uh, Tyler says Morav 5045. I wouldn’t be surprised.
But Cory Sanhagen is a game opponent. Like I said, he’s fought for the title once before. Um, against
Pota Yan. Let me see real quick before I get to that. Uh, Morab, his last fight was against Sha
Ali. He beat Umar Nagamedov in between the two fights with Sha Ali. So, he’s on his third going
for his third title defense here against Corey Sanhagen. Sanhagen is coming off of a win over uh
Davidson Figurado. Oh, where he got that he [ __ ] man, he twisted his knee and [ __ ] his knee
up. Uh he got him in an actual submission. I’m not sure if it was a knee bar or what kind of a
submission it was. I don’t remember at the moment. Uh, Morav will be the undisputed bantamweight goat
if he wins. Yeah, because we’ve said that about people that have had less defenses than he has.
So, yeah. And he I mean, who’s next, right? Uh, I don’t even know who would be next if Cory loses.
Maybe Morab will move up and wait or just try to continue to just go through everybody that’s
possible in that division. But yeah, Sanhagen looked impressive in that uh piggy fight and he
got a performance of the night bonus in that one. Second round TKO win for him there. He lost to
Umar Namaga Medov before that 50/50 position and Fig’s knee popped. Yeah, I couldn’t remember if
it was an actual submission or what. That’s right, 50/50. Um, but yeah, it was nasty the way he
twisted his knee up and yeah, he was in pain. So, but I mean, Cory was doing great in that fight
before that anyway. Figgy just didn’t look like himself and man he he dropped that one hard and
then he got injured on top of it. So uh but yeah uh San Hagen’s loss was before that against Umar
no Magdov. He fought uh Pota Yan for the title back in 2021. Was that for the title? I think
it was. Um yeah and he lost that by decision. So yeah, a lot of decisions on his record as of
late. I mean, except for the last one was a TKO, but that was because of an injury. So, but again,
with that flying knee, I mean, not too many people can land a punch like this on Cheeto Vera. Um, was
it interim? It might have been the interim title. Uh, I just remember him talk saying that earlier
in an interview I listened to him on. Uh it just doesn’t say here for sure if it was a title fight
or not, but uh it might have been an interim. Who knows? Anyway, uh yeah, so that again, no not too
many people can land a punch like that on Cheeto Vera. You got those crazy flying knees. Imagine
if he catches Morab with a flying knee. That would be [ __ ] insane. Um, so that’d be a hell
of a way for him to win. Anyway, let’s move on to that main event. Uncle Mamemed Uncleia versus Alex
Pada for the main event for the light heavyweight championship belt rematch. Peda trying to get
his belt back. Magameov trying to defend for the first time against this opponent he’s had before
and he beat by decision. Um, I wouldn’t say it was like a super impressive fight. I wouldn’t say
that it was super dominant for Uncle Live either, but uh yeah, Pada supposedly was injured, had an
issue with uh I think was it his foot or his I think it was his foot. And uh on top of that, he
said he was like 40% overall. He he had fought a lot of fights in a short period of time. Uh
saving a bunch of UFC fights by get, you know, taking short notice fights and [ __ ] but yeah,
when it came down to it, he lost his title. So, uh, Uncle Iv not the most exciting fighter. He,
him and Yan Blakowitz fought to a draw that was boring as hell. Yeah. I mean, and everyone
was worried about him and the ground game just because being a Magamed of, you know, Uncle
It’s just one of those everyone thought that, but he didn’t he didn’t even any takedown attempts
he he took on Peda, Pada defended somewhat easily. So that wasn’t even what lost him in the fight. So
it’s just kind of one of those things. I feel like if Pada comes out like Tyler was saying earlier
with uh well what I thought he was saying it was a good point was the leg kicks. If uh if Peda comes
out with those leg kicks that was See, I’m solely focused on that because that’s what I thought you
were talking about. But if he comes out with those leg kicks and uses them, um it was interum. Okay.
Yeah, I knew it was for a title of some sort. I just couldn’t remember if it was interum or not.
But uh oh, and it was after it looked like Pota Yanner beat TJ Dillish Shaw. So I was thinking,
yeah, who knows? But yeah, you just looked it up, so at least we know that. Uh, good call on that
one. But, uh, yeah, Pada comes out and starts using those leg kicks, I think he’s going to do
a lot better than he did on the last one. Uh, and then if he’s healthy, too, because if he’s
healthy, it’s a whole different story. I feel like Uncle did well, but I just don’t know. Um, I don’t
know if he can beat like top level Pada. We’ll see how much after the break if he has what it takes
to get that belt back. Uncle is the moderate favorite. It says minus 220 and Peda is a slight
underdog. So, might be some good time to make some money if you want to bet on this one because I
feel like Peda has what it takes to get the title back. But, we’ll see how he comes in. Uh 12-1 in
the UFC for Uncle Live, 11-0 by Kot TKO, never been finished on the feet. 0-1 by sub and 10-0 by
decision on a 12ight win streak. Peda is 12 and three overall, 9-2 in the UFC, 10-1 by KO TKO, 0-1
by sub, and 2-1 by decision. He is coming off the loss to Uncle. Um, let’s take a look at Uncle’s
last opponent, as we said, Pada. Before that, he fought uh Alexander Rakage, got a decision
win there. TKO win against uh Johnny Walker with a performance bonus. Uh Anthony Smith, Thiago
Santos, Vulcan Demir, he’s fought all the all the names. Ian Coutava, Nikita Kryov. So yeah, he’s
I mean that’s why he’s at the level he’s at. And he was, you know, put it on Pada and got the win
in the last fight. So, we’ll see if Peda can turn it around here and uh look like the Pada of old.
If he can fight like he did against Yuri, he’ll definitely be able to win this one. Uh unanimous
decision loss where he lost his title. He defended three times in a row before that though in the
light heavyweight division. Twice against Yuri, once against Jamal Hill, and once against Khalil
Roundtree, who’s fighting in this card as well. So, he could easily make it back. Um, and that’ll
put bring him to having I don’t know how many times he’s been the damn champ at this point. It’s
crazy. So, I think Uncle Round four KO. It’s going to be interesting though. That’s I mean, yeah,
I’m going for Pada. I just don’t I just Uncle just doesn’t do anything for me, man. Unfortunately,
um I like Poeton, so I wouldn’t mind seeing him get the title back, but it’s going to be fun and
I think it’s a it’s a great main event. Um those last three fights especially, but the whole main
card is good. So, I’m definitely going to enjoy this watch party. So, make sure you come back and
watch that on Saturday. Let’s uh do this quickly and get this over with. We got the uh the fight
wheel. I want Potato to win, but I think Uncle Live will [ __ ] Yeah, unfortunately. Uh you you
could be right, but I’m hoping not. So, let’s take a look at the fight wheel predictions from
last week. Uh where is it? Oh, here we go. So, we had Jake Matthews winning and that was wrong.
Dominic Reyes winning, that was wrong. Charlie Campbell winning, that was wrong. Tavvarz to win,
that was wrong. Jimmy Croo to win, that was right. And Taffa got scrapped. So, we had one out of
six. Holy [ __ ] That was a bad day. That was a bad day for the uh the fight wheel predictions.
Wow. Um that’s okay. It is what it is. Sometimes they’re good, sometimes they’re not. And uh we’ll
see what it does for us this time. Let me clear this out. Matthews Tech. Yeah, technically
he did win cuz yeah, that was some [ __ ] He won the first part of the fight, that’s
for sure. Uh let’s get rid of these names and let’s spin the wheel. We got five
fights on the main card. Here’s your first fight wheel prediction. I do this because
I suck at picking and I suck at gambling. So, we do it uh randomly. Joe Piper to
be the first winner of the night beating who the hell is he fighting?
Uh oh yeah, Aboose Magamed off. So, first fight of the night, first prediction, Joe
Piper to win. We’ll see if that’s correct. Uh, oh [ __ ] I didn’t get rid of There’s that.
There’s that. Let’s see. Next up, we have Salty Joe Piper Roundtree. Oh [ __ ] In the third fight
of the night to beat Yuri Prohaska. That’s a tough one, but I mean I I could
see it happening. I just don’t know if it will. But that’s an interesting
pick for the fight wheel predictions. Two down, three to go. UFC 320 fight
wheel predictions randomly. Let’s see what happens. Oh [ __ ] Morav in the
co-main event to defend his title. That feels like it’s probably
the right pick, but you know, I kind of feel like Cory has a bit of
a chance. I just talked about that, but we’ll see. So, Morab gone,
Cory gone. Two fights left, including the main event. Just log off a
long shift with Piper at the Salt Mines. Oh. Uh, Yousef’s allowed to win that first
fight against Josh EMTT. So maybe he gets the fight to the ground and submits
EMTT for that first fight of the night. I feel like that’s his best route to win anyway, but we’ll see if the fight wheels right about
that. Last but not least, the main event, Mamemed Uncle versus Alex Pada. And it looks
like Uncle Lev Tyler would be calling it right if that’s the truth. Uncle Goliath to defend
his title and beat Alex Pada in the rematch. So there is your fight wheel predictions. Only one
underdog. Yeah. Uh so we got Maggameda Uncle to beat Alex Pada. We got Ysef Zalo to beat um Josh
EMTT. Morav to beat Cory Sanhagen and defend his title. Cleo Roundtree beating Yuri Pasca and Joe
Pyer to beat Abus Magamed off. So those are your fight predictions. Do what you will with them.
Remember them, forget them. I don’t care. Um bet on them. It’s up to you or don’t do nothing.
Just uh come back next uh come back on Sunday and find out how well it did. So that’s it for that.
And that wraps it up. So, thanks for jumping in, Tyler. Of course, Infinity, thanks always for

the Watch Party podcast happening Saturday. I agree with all these pics except Khil, but you
never know. Yeah, it’s not it’s actually not a bad Well, it’s not a lot of bad fights, so they could
go either way, and that’s what I like about them. So the fight wheel could be completely right,
completely wrong. That’s why it’s totally up to chance. So that’s what makes it fun. But anyway,
