have seen three twenty three. Just at this your meal,
His boyflight nine in three hours. He going to the airport.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Should you look. I just came out and see guy
from this June.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
This dude, Bro, you don't even go to the airport three
hours in advance. I know they guys say black dude
would be late, but that's too early, man.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
You trip you guys.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
UFC three twenty three just wrapped. And it was a
crazy night.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
We had some phenomenal performances, but ultimately the night belonged
to the great Fyoda Yan. Tonight, Yoda Yan fought the
fight of his life, taking the championship from Rob Dawallas
Willie and on the scorecards turned out being a white out.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
This pot fi reaction video is brought to.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
You by Tody Wireless, the official wireless provider of UFC.
There in your corner when unlimited by G data that
will not slow you down. FO told anyone that would
listen that he was going to be better tonight, when
I don't think people could have imagined was how good
he was going to look.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
His striking looked amazing. You know.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
One of the things about Fighting number one that we
talked about a lot in the build was that pyore
Yan defended thirty nine takedowns.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Moron just shot forty nine takedowns.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Tonight, Piorryan defended twenty seven of twenty nine takedowns.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Camarab DW.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Wallace really forcing him to stand in trade. We all
know Pyorerian is a master of sport in boxing. Pyodan
is a sniper. Pyorean is a guy that you do
not want to be forced to stand with. And then
not only did he do a great job with his striking,
Pyota was the one that found a lot of success with.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
His wrestling because.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I don't know that Moron Dawallace really expected him to
be taking him down, but we know that Pyodrian has
that ability. Tonight that was a full display and he
was able to become the bandaweight champion for a second time.
His footwork, his movement, his cardio. We were talking after
the fight his workload in camp to getting that type

(04:14):
of shape must have been insane, because it looked like
he got a little tired down the stretch in like
round two, round three, and then he just took off.
We had this thought that to beat Marop you had
to win rounds one, two, three. Tonight pyotr Yan won
round three, four and five across the board, even though

(04:34):
the card that scored in forty eight forty seven Peter
Pyota won three, four and five. It was an absolute
masterpiece by pyotr Jan Maron found some success early in
the striking, and because he didn't wrestle early enough, I
think it gave Pyota a confidence that the takedowns will

(04:58):
not be coming at him at the rate that they
came at him and fight number one, and they did,
because he was attacked forty nine times to fight one,
only twenty nine times in fight two.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Piodian's demand and.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
It was very crazy in the build, how people forgot
what he was, how he was thought of during his
run as the UFC vandamweight champion. Maybe felt for a
long time that he was gonna be very hard to beat,
but it's uh short. Memories is what people have in

(05:37):
mixed martial arts, and at times you have to remind them,
and tonight that's exactly what Piodon did.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Maron Duallace. Willie is not the UFC champion anymore. Morob
had one.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Of the most memorable reigns that we have ever seen.
Morob tried to defend that belt four times, and there
should be some credit given to him for even attempting
to do what so many people believe is absolutely impossible.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
It's impossible to do what Morab.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Was attempting, because if anyone was going to do it,
it was going to be Morob because he seemed to
have a great stop for the division and he was
in there with a guy that he had beaten before.
But through Fiorian's adjustments and how daunting.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
The task was, Morob got beat.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
But I honestly believe that his stocked rose in that
performance because even though he lost, he fought his ass
off and he took more chances than he had ever
seen him take. But ultimately the night belonged to Fiorian.
In the coming event, aless Chandre Pantosia fought Joshua Van
for the UFC Flyweight Championship. The fight starts amazing. They

(06:53):
are just throwing. Pantosia throws a head kick. It lands
on Van's shoulder as Van is pressing into him. Pantosa
post dislocates his shoulder, fights over.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Joshua Van could have keyed off one of mey ditch.
He knew he was hurt. Great sportsmanship by a new champ.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Pantosia immediately knew he was hurt, laid on his back,
recognized he was out heard.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
He stops the fight.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Crazy situation because that was an all time great title
reign that was ended on an action that you do
just about every single day in fighting, wrestling, or any
type of combat sport. Unfortunately it ended the reign of Pantosian,
but josh Van is now the second youngest champion in
UFC history at only twenty four years old. That fight

(07:47):
started in a way that almost guaranteed that we were
about to be watching an all time classic. Those guys
were going at it. It don't lasted twenty seconds. Pantosio
was on the gas Joshua Van was small, almost like, yo,
this is what we're doing. I'm so happy. I'm excited
to see what happens next for Joshua Van because you

(08:11):
know he'll be willing to fight very very soon, and
he'll be willing to defend that championship very very soon.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
You cannot feel nothing but happiness for Van.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Because he's as sweet a kid as you will.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Ever meet your entire life.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
He got this, He's in this job that he tripped
up for so long, and now he has achieved that,
and he's reached the height of the sport by becoming
a UFC champion. The one thing that he got that
not many champions get is he knows who his next
opponent will be, and that is going to be Tetsuro Tyro,
who beat Brandon Moreno in the third fright from the top.

(08:51):
I didn't love to stop his air. I'm being completely honest.
I know Moreno was in a horrible position, but I
think when you have achampion like Moreno, a guy who's
been around as long as he has, and the guy
that is moving on the bottom, you have to give
him time to try and recover. The moment the rest
out Devide Mareno looked up and said, really, look man,

(09:13):
nothing may have changed, but at least let it be
definitive so that Moreno understands and doesn't feel slighted, and
it doesn't really hurt Tetsuro Tyra as he's trying to
earn his championship opportunity. I am just glad that they're
moving forward with that throw Tyra as the next title challenge,
and I believe that him and Joshua Van will be

(09:35):
a phenomenal fighter. Here're the guys, Henris to Hudo and
Peyton Talbot bought an absolute classic.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Henry s Judo said he wanted to.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Go out on his shield and do it the right
way as his career ended. It's exactly what he did tonight,
but it was a showcase for Vaydon Talbot and his skills.
That young man bought his ass. He should be very proud.
He got beat a couple of fights to go, but
since he has returned, now he's went two in a
row and he's looking increasingly better.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
He scored two takedowns on the HUD.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
There's no way to who they could have imagined that
the kids would be taking him down. That shows you
the levels that Bayton Talbot is jumping every single time
he stepped into.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
The opten on Mahovich and Guskov was a draw, which
it was.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Manuel Torres knocked out Grant Dawson, showing that he's one
of the best fighters in the world. Chris Duncan and
Terres McKinney had a crazy fight. I didn't love that
the fight wasn't stopped earlier. It looked like McKinney knew
he was out. The rep just didn't stop the fight.
So the moment that Duncan put on the submission, he

(10:47):
tapped sometimes you gotta read the fighter's body language and
then do what you're in there to do, and that.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Stopped the fight.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Macy Barber had a big win over Karini Silva riz
Zi caught his ass off and beat Now it's inside
of golf.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Bruno for data beat Marvin Vittori.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Jayler Turner had a nasty knockout over Edson Junior Barbosa.
That dude look for the nomenal Look phenomenal Mansur Abdor
Melick beat Andreon Chocoli.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Awesome. Great performance by that young man. Uh Mari.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Marlon Santos won by t k O bad fight, but
ultimately it ended very well. But the fight for me
was Ewo Baroneski versus Ebo Oslon and that is going
to be my total wireless performance of the night. That
was the best fight I have ever seen inside the octagon,

(11:45):
not for the skill. It felt like Dana White contend
the series with two guys that were just better, so
the fight lasted longer.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
It was awesome. Guys.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
If you have not watched Ebo Oslon take on Ewon Baraneski,
go watch it.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's on the early prelims and it was crazy.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
You know that my total Wilder's performance at the night
generally go someone high up on the car tonight. It
goes to both of these gentlemen for what they showed
us on the prelims.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
That's the end of the pay per view era, and
that's the end of the ESPN era. Guys.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
I'm taking this Mike flag home with me because for
a kid that grew up in Louisiana, to say that
I worked for ESPN is a dream come true. We
uh ed ride the UFC, loved the time that we
had at ESPN.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
I will always remember my time here. I will always
remember DC and Lwannie uh d C and r C
and Good Guy, Bad Guy.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
The fact that the worldwide leader gave me shows with
three different partners means the world to me. So thank
you ESPN for elevating my career, making me even bigger
and better than I ever could have imagined. And thank
you guys so much for taking the chance on the
UFC because the partnership degree in the UFC and ESPN
has helped the UFC to growth to an even bigger

(13:05):
place in the NDP pay per view. Hey, the world
always changes. I always get sad with change, guys, but
I figure will all be okay the fight for free,
so that means I'm happy for you guys.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
All you got to do is get.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
A subscription obviously to Paramount Plus, but no more pay
per view. Unbelievable much things have changed, guys. Thank you
so much for this year. It has been a banner
year for us at DCTV. The growth that we have
had far exceeded what we did last year in every
single metric and it's all because of every single one
of you. Happy Holidays, Merrick, Christmas. I will still be

(13:46):
