Speaker 1 (01:52):
All right, guys, so we're wrapping up the sphere. The
boy miles as always breaking down. The set UFC three
zero six is officially.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
In the books. And guys, it was. It was amazing.
It was. It was as amazing as advertised.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Look look at the spear right now.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
There were films, there were stories, Uh god.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
That was such a great night of fights. You know, you.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Wonder how these things will fly out, and there's a
lot of there's a lot of pressure on the people
that put these shows together to deliver, but the pressure
is also in the fighters. The fighters have to recognize
what's at stake when they get these opportunities. Tonight, they
did absolutely that from the very first fight of tonight,

(02:44):
I'll reach you along and Rob Wils's Junior all the
way to Moron Duwallas Willie.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Versus Sugar Sean O'Malley. It was a tremendous night of fights.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Let's start at the main event. You know, many thought
that this fight could play out like this. Many knew
that this was a very difficult matchup for the Sugar Show.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
You knew that if.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
He couldn't land on, Morob is that mauling type of
fighter that really does wear you down. Justin Gatgee told me,
he goes he could beat them.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
He bulow mohammed at him.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
He goes that up and down. Shit is exhausting. And
it's true because Kain Velaska used to do it to me.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
It was Morob.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
In classic Morob form, going forward, moving around. You know,
Dean Thomas had one of the best analogies I've heard.
He goes, it's very difficult to track a butterfly in
a windstorm because then it's just getting blown all over.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Up, down around. That's Morobs.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Morob's never a stationary target for you, And he definitely
wasn't the station neary target tonight for Sean O'Malley.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
You know, he was doing a really good job. You know,
earlier in the night.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
We spoke about our renail down at following Norman Dumont.
Morob never follows. He cuts Shawn off every time, and
he would put him a little close to the octagon side,
and he'd cut him off a little.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
More, and he would strategically.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Work him towards the octagon and he would.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Level change and he would take him down.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
And once he took him down, you could see him
start to really kind of poke at the will of
sugar Sean O'Malley, And by the later rounds he had
almost rendered.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Him pretty helpless. You know, I was getting.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Text messages and tweets and people were just literally just
saying how he was almost mentally breaking Sean. I don't
know that I agree with that. I thought Sean O'Malley
fought to the very end and never lost faith in
the idea that he could win. That's why he was

(05:00):
able to land that push kick up the middle that
hurt Morob in round five. But I just think that
Morob's game plan, his ability to not only implement the
game plan but work it effectively, is what allowed him
to become the world champion. You know, this dude, Morob
Duallas Willie is so physical and he has such a

(05:24):
great understanding of positioning that it's hard. I've never seen
Sean O'Malley just blown off of his feet that way before.
I was very surprised at how effective he was at
securing takedowns, but also the way he set him up
because there was never a chance for O'Malley to defend.
Before he could even start defending, Marob was throwing him

(05:45):
off his feet, and but we see him do it
to everybody, you know, I don't know why we still
get surprised.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
When he did it to.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Henry Sudo, who's up the champions, So I don't know
why we get surprised.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
This dude's a deserving champion.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
He has waited a long time to get this opportunity.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
He fought all the best.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
I mean his last two fights are Pio Yann and
Henry s Hudo. I mean he's not He fought everyone
because the general idea is he's not fun. So he
fought everybody to get there. Once it was no denying it.
He got his opportunity and he cashed in. You know,

(06:34):
I like Morobi. He's a great guy. He's got some
big challenges ahead of him, but the only the right
matchup will be what causes him problems because he's got it.
So hats off to Marob Dawallas Villy. I'm becoming the
world champion, Sean O'Malley. The road back will be difficult.
You know, it's hard to get yourself back to that

(06:54):
level once you've been there and you recognize the stardom
that comes with me coming to champion.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
You know, he never gave.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Up on himself. Should be proud about that. But he
was in there with a guy that really will be
a matchup problem for him every.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Time that they fight.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
He's just got to get better with the wrestling, better
at the pitting takedowns, and just said he's got to
just really react a little earlier. I think his reactions
were a little slow. That's why Morob was able to
knock him off of his feet, you know. But again,
if you're a Sean O'Malley fan, he should be proud

(07:39):
that your guy didn't give up on himself and he
really did give himself a.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Chance in round five.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
And if you're the coaches, you're proud of your athletes
because you told him in round five, in round five
that he needed to go and try to get a
finished and that's exactly what he tried to do. The
Game Time App as the Rocky wins for a very

(08:03):
long time, guys. And you know that the game Time
App is the worldwide leader in last minute ticket purchases.

Speaker 3 (08:22):

Speaker 1 (08:24):
And when you type my promo code DCTV, you can

Ask and I love doing a whole bunch of stuff
and when we do.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Go places I try, guys. I constantly used the game
Time App.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I told you before I bought Luisa ticket using the
game Time app, and I'm getting ben aiticket to the
UFC Sphere event using the game Time App. I don't
know if I get to twenty off, but you can
when you put that DCTV promo code in.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
At the game Time app. Guys, what time is it?

Speaker 1 (08:56):
It's game time, baby, and game time is and rocking
with us for a real long time, you know. Alexa
Grosso fought Valentine's shake Up for the third time. In
Fight one, Alexa Grosso was a underdog eight to one.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
I believe eight to one. I believe.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
I'm trying to get these people to stop talking.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Guys, I'm sozared. But tonight it felt like Valentino was
just a much I can't it's hard to It's much
better fighter.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
I'll just call it what it is. You know. The
striking she was better. The wrestling she was better, and
she used that wrestling to win her championship back. It
was not the funnest fight. It felt like the Morob
fight was a little more intriguing because of the danger
that Seanamalley always seemed to possess but just got dominated

(10:01):
and she's gonna have to figure that out.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
She seemed to spend.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
A lot of time trying to fight off of her
back because she knew she would get taken down. But
all that did was allowed for time to run. And
when time runs and you're on your back, you're losing. Sure,
she had some good submission attempts, but that's not enough.
I'm losing my boys. Guys, he's been a long day.

(10:26):
If you gotta do more, But I thought to the
Queen Dalandina chef Chenkos, it took her a long time
to get back to where she is today as the
world champion, and force the one that's been there before.
It really is a hard thing to do. Diego Lopez
is the man, you know. When he got into the UFC,

(10:47):
he fought some really really good guys at the very beginning.
He lost Alvloyev in his UFC debut, and because of that,
I think that's why he is we is today. He
heard Brian ar take a badge multiple occasions, and he
always tries to finish. It's some man's a real problem.
At one hundred and forty five pounds, Daniels l Hubert

(11:09):
and Esteban Riversich was the best fight I've ever.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Seen in my life. I don't know that I've seen
a better fight.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
If you have not seen.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Guys, please, if you have not seen, please, if you
have not seen this fight, please go back and watch it.
Go back and watch that fight. It was that good.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
It was hard, it was skilled, it was a termination.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
You know. My cousin was in the stands and he
goes it's just cornage watching these two dudes fight each other.
I think that by the end of the year, Daniels
l Hubert and that's thebon Relovich you will still be
talked about.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
That's one of the fights of the year.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Hats off to Ronaldo Rodriguez on a big victory over
that I was born. Norman Dumont now enters into the
top five of her division. Manuel torres Ignacio baham Mundez
was supposed to be a great fight. Baha Mundez with
a beautiful right hand that puts them out. Keathlyn Soza
with a nice finish over Yasmin Hariga, Josh Van beating

(12:19):
Antares and Ronald Russ Junior. Congratulations to all the victors tonight,
but ultimately the night belongs to Marob Dawallas Pheley. Congratulations, Champ,
You've earned it. You deserved it all the way from
looking for a fight to the world champion. Not many
to say that, guys. As always, I'm gonna go grab

(12:39):
a couple coaches, try to get a few words in
with them, but I'm gonna drop some videos I took
with my phone tonight from inside the sphere because even
though you guys couldn't be here with me, I want
you to experience it as I did next to this octagon.
It truly was an amazing experience. I love each and
every one of you. I appreciate you to continue to pour.
