Speaker 1 (00:01):
The volume. All right, guys, UFC three eleven is in
the books, and once again Islam Mahachev proves to be
the best lightweight in the world, submitting Anatomy Kano in

(00:24):
the very first round with a dar show. You know,
I run out of ways to describe who Islav is.
This guy is a champion in every sense.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Of the word.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Not many guys would have accepted a fight for their belt.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
On twenty four hour notice.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Hand me that watermouse, uh, twenty four notice against the
guy that was on a four or five win streak
that you did not trade for. Look at my boy
miles behind me. I did beat him in fantasy too,
and I do owe him a Liverpool.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Jersey for Arsenal versus.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I know they saw, uh he's the and he is
proving that time and time again. He was supposed to
fight on Montsrukian, who many believe is the toughest match
for him in the division. Taking on Mkanomi. Kano went
out there very confident. He was very sure of himself.
He was attacking, he was pressing. He didn't seem to
respect Markajev, and he looked like he was gonna put

(01:19):
some damage on him. Heard him early in the fight.
He landed something good on Islam there and then it
looked like he dropped Islam, but he did Islam Smith, Guys,
I dealt with this before, with the Anderson Silver situation.
I am telling you it is the most difficult thing
that you could ever imagine doing, going out there against

(01:41):
someone you have not trained for, knowing that that person
is world class, knowing that that person's team has prepared
extensively for you. Because remember Sarrukiana is from the American
top team. Also take down in the first round, control control, control,
the moment I don't have took a chance he was
able to jump on that dars. You know, I believe

(02:06):
that it still needs to be Serukian, because I believe
that Serukian, even though it's a rematch, and even though
we know Charles is supposed to be next, I still
feel like Seroukian's size, his abilities, his skill set could
present the biggest problems for Islam. Mahachel, you know this guy.

(02:27):
I mean, look at what he does to the rest.
Right he has submitted or finished so many of the
best lightweights in the world, so right now he's in
the midst of things like.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
This he finished Olvera to become the champ.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
He finished Volkanowski to rematch, he finished Dustin Pourier in
his last title of defense, and now he finishes. Not
to moy Kane, there is no boring wrestling claims anymore.
This guy's they finished up the highest order and he is.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
The Palm found them fighter in the world.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Because it's easier to believe that if he was up
aweight class, he would still be doing the same thing
to those guys in the second division. I do love, though,
that he is continued to fight the challenger and taking
on the guys in his weight class before he does
that in the comin event. So congrats to Islam, great

(03:16):
John Champ, you're the best. He really has proven to
be the best. Black came with Islamihatchev too. I mean
to be the prize people. If I'm doing out the
Mega metaf to be, I mean I'm dooming. I will
tell anyone that would listen when Habib is done, Islam
will rule. That's a lot of pressure. Not only has
he ruled, he's dominated. And imagine the emotional state of

(03:39):
watching Umar and Omega Manov looseman the first time, then
walking out there less than thirty minutes later and doing
what he did. There were a lot of factors that
play against Islam Mahatchev, but tonight he showed once again
why he's the best in the world. Another guy is
the best, Wars Morob d Wallace WHEELI guys, you know,
I love Lumar.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
He's a friend of mine, he's a teammate. But Marob
won that fight.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Morob is his cardio is unbelievable. The fact that Umar
was able to fight so well in round one and two,
winning both rounds, to me, you know, up to the zero,
Morob not fighting at the pace that we used to
seeing him fight early in the fight, and it's still

(04:27):
exhausting a guy in Umar who doesn't get tired. It's
not like Morob did this to someone as a history
of getting fatigued. He did this to what may be
the second best better weight in the world right now.
His pace is pressure, is toughness is durability second to none.
You know, I always go back to the Marlin Rice

(04:48):
fight and I remember him getting hurt so badly against him.
It looked like he was on ice skates, but he
kept pressing and pressing and pressing and pressing till eventually.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
He got the rights out of there.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
He went from g his butt kicked to honestly just
beating the shit out of Marlin Morice always gonna matter,
Like six minutes doesn't happen to a normal person. We
were joking a little bit about the fact that when
I went to visit Morob after his title fight winning
performance against O'Malley, he was running the next day.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Guys, this was not a joke. This really is the
life that this guy lives.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
He took this fight on a short notice of me
beat Umar, and honestly, I don't think Umar fought that bad.
I thought Umar fought pretty good. I thought he fought
a good first two rounds. I thought he defended takedowns effectively.
But I just believe the pace and the pressure, and honestly,
I think tonight tonight proved that visuals matter. Tonight proved
to me that visuals matter, because it seemed like Umar

(05:47):
was so fatigued and Mirab was playing the game, getting
his hands up celebrate, joking, smiling.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Tonight proved to me.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
That visuals do matter in these big time fights, and
the body language and the visuals hab Duallace really was
winning that. Not only winning that though, he was winning
the fight, and he did that, and I think it
was his best performance to date. I'm very I'm very
intrigued to know who they're going to match him up

(06:16):
with next, because whoever they match him up with next
will be an Underdug Marable's a three to one undunt tonight.
He didn't fight like that though. The guy takes the disrespect,
he uses that motivation and then he performs at an
elite level. So hats off to Mirob Duwallace Wally, his
hats off to Werna Mega met Off forgiving us what
may have been the best bandably fight of all time.

(06:41):
You know, when Jamal Hill and your Pro Hoscal was
announced as a fight on this card, many believed that
someone was going to sleep well tonight, someone did and
it was Jamal Hill, your pro Hashka. While he may
be a different guy right, he may move to the
beat of his own drum, the guy's a beast man.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
He's an absolute savage and once against tonight.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
He proved it just hands down, moving his head, not
getting hit and landing beautiful counter shots against Jamal Hill,
which ultimately failed him a beautiful counter right hook off
of a left hand drops jamal follow up shots kills him,
ends the match.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
I mean he hit it with.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Some shots in the follow up sequence that would have
put most men out.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Because Jamalil was so tough, he was able to stand.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
That shows durability and at least give himself a chance.
But ultimately the night belonged to your pro Hoshka, who
again was an underdog. Tonight we had more underdogs win
fights than we've seen it in a really long time. Uh
Almeida the heavyweight, I'm drawing a blank on his name.

(07:50):
Jotan Dioton looks phenomenal against Sergeates. Bev Al though scrambles
fatigue heavyweights, but Diotan showed once again he has the
ability to get the job done.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
He looked great tonight, really air.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
The ridd beating Kevin Holland sick.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
I mean he said he would submit him.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Holland said he thought he would have a hard time
believing he would get submitted by this guy.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
It happened in the first round.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Kevin Hollan needs to do something a little bit different
now He's not lost four or five and while being
fun and being active as a thing. You also have
to win that Kevin Hollend needs to win very badly.
But ready air the ridder. Dude comes from one FC.
You don't know all he's gonna do. Dude, just look
phenomenal his first two UFC performances and now he's training

(08:34):
down in South Florida where he's only gonna get better.
Peyton Talvit lost his first fight tonight against Honni Morrisalos.
He got out wrestled, he got at work. I believe
that he's to learning the experience to Talbot. A lot
of people are excited about this kid, and they should
still be. Many people suffer losses, many people suffer defeat.
It's how you built back from that defeat is what's

(08:58):
gonna be important in the career of Peyton Talbot. But
hats off to Honey Marcello's for turning the clock back
and getting the job done. Mcloyev with the ko Guskov
with the sub Then it was decision decision, decision, decision, decision.
But hats off to every person that got a victory tonight.
It was a tremendous event. This arena was sick, but

(09:19):
ultimately the night belongs to the winners, and the night
belongs to Islam Mahachev, who once again proves that he
is the man, and hats off to mirobdu I was
willing to keeping the vandaweight championship.
