Hello, hello, I'm doing well.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh, we are doing excellent.
The weather's been good today.
I mean, everybody look good.
I don't hear no sniffles.
Allergies ain't kicking nobodyass.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Oh, it's there, we're just masking it.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
All right, good, I like it that way.
You know what I'm saying.
Take your Claritin, your Zyrtecall that stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
You know we can't sneeze the wrong way, no more oh
no bro, we are professionals.
Military time.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Military time right profession now.
But let's jump straight into itbecause you know I'm saying I'm
gonna make this a quick cookbecause I was trying to cook
last podcast and the guys wasgetting on me, so I'm gonna make
this a quick cook.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
You know what I'm saying?
Hibachi, out here you knowshort order cook.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
I'm gonna do my food truck thing, it's still gonna be
good, though I'm playing withy'all, though I'm playing with
y'all not for real.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
All right, we have a response, or do we have a
response?
Drizzy dropped a bomb.
All right, I'm sorry.
I don't know if he dropped abomb, because I don't think it
was that tough.
I honestly think it was a jab.
If.
Because I'm saying if?
Because there are reports thatthis drake response is actually
(02:12):
ai.
So, um, I'm a little bitconcerned.
I listened to it a couple oftimes and it did kind of sound
like ai actually some parts,some parts.
And then I was just like whoeverthis is, really, really, really
and it did kind of sound likeAI actually Some parts, some
parts.
And then I was just likewhoever this is really, really,
really understands Drake's flow?
Yeah, because he had thecadence down, he had a lot of
(02:33):
stuff down, but there were somethings in there that just wasn't
typical A bit off.
Yeah, you know, it wasn'ttypical Drake and at least
typical Drake production eitherDrake and at least typical Drake
production either.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
well, I gotta say I think the fact that it was uh,
the way that it was deliveredwas like really cool, because I
think that's what got Drake thewin really in his uh beef with
Meek Mills was that he produceda diss track that was like a
club banger, like it was apopular record, it had a catchy
hook to it and it didn't reallyhave too many like amazing, like
jab bars on it.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
It wasn't just that Meek Mill was whack.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
No, Well yeah, wow, oof, wow, that's what you feel.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
It was a question I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, I will say Meek Mill did start it, and then
Drake responded, and then therewas a solid time period.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
We know what happened there, though we know what
happened there.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Anyway, this record has the potential to be another
pop sort of vibe club bangerwhich, right there, will take, I
think, a lot of the winning,because everyone who's going to
be dancing to it at the club isgoing to be incognito sort of
(03:46):
dissing Kendrick by just bangingto it and rocking with it.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
What's his name?
Um, dj academics played like afinished version, kind of like a
clean up version of it, and itsounded like you know something.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You're actually banging the club too, so yeah, I
mean they said that a couplepeople said that the record was
sent, I guess, actually by drakeright right, so it could be,
but either way, the the responseactually did enough that it got
one person to come out the hole.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Rick Ross responded.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Rick Ross responded.
And it's weird because youdon't really think about Rick
Ross like the battle rapper, thelyrical rapper.
You think of him more for likeluxury raps.
I'm riding in my car on a niceday.
You know, I'm feeling good, Ijust got a haircut type, you
know music I might be going tothe club type you know type
(04:32):
thing.
You know, I just got paid right.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Friday night, riding in the back of my car, smoking a
cigar type stuff, drinkingchampagne.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Well, I mean damn that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, but yeah the maybach music the aston martin
right right but rick ross'sreply though, I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It wasn't all that.
I mean it did what it wassupposed to do, but it wasn't
all that, because I don't knowhow true half of it was.
I mean, I get it, drake wantedto hang out with real realsters
and stuff like that, so when hefirst met you he was very
excited to be around you.
(05:09):
But I think that you have alsobenefited from knowing that
gentleman also.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Scratched his back as well.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, so it's like it's one of them things where
I'm just like it's veryinteresting for you to say that
about Drake, because you havebenefited so much from Drake,
from his record, from him beingon your records, from you being
on his records, just whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Well, the thing that really like nail in the head
right there, nail in the coffin,is the fact that on Aston
Martin music Drake has a featurebut in the radio version
drake's doesn't get his verse tobe on the feature, he just has
a little singing interlude, noteven the chorus, just an
interlude into the chorus.
Just to have his name attachedmade that record popular on the
(05:58):
top 40.
They didn't even need to havethe whole verse from him, they
just needed a little snippet tosay his name is on it.
Yep, so just to have thatco-sign.
Because he's really big in thetop 40 world, um, and and there
was nothing really new that cameout of that.
I mean, I've looked at drake's.
You know there's the talk aboutthe potential nose job, but
I've looked at like old photosof drake and this and that and
(06:19):
I'm like I can't even.
There was a really good nose jobwhere you can't even tell,
which I guess is how you want itto be.
But at that point, like what'sthe point?
So I don't know, there wasn'tanything that really made me
like head turn.
You know from that record.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I mean, to me I guess the funniest thing about it is
Rick Ross trying to body shamesomebody, and that's just
probably the funniest thing.
But other than that, hey, likeI said, I like rap.
I like when guys compete, Ilike when guys go at each other.
So as long as this stays rap,it can keep going for me.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Oh, did you say the mansion comparison as well?
They're comparing mansions.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I do not want to compare mansions.
Not, I do not.
I'm talking about any rapper.
I don't think you want tocompare mansions with drake.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I really don't think like they're friends for real,
like you know.
I mean like, especially wherethey're taking it out.
So it's out of rap now.
Now it's being petty like, oh,I'm talking about this, I'm
talking about that, um, I, it's,it's gone.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
It's gone outside of rap now the idea behind it is
regardless of what with twopeople who like to talk about
money or one person who reallylikes to talk about money, rick
Ross.
The easiest way to beat him isjust to say y'all have more
money than you and now it's likealright, cool, you know,
factual evidence will show, I dohave more money than you.
(07:43):
Yeah, you can have as many wingstops as you want.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
But Drake will be the biggest boss that you've seen
thus far.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Thank you If he's got more money.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying,just by going by Rick Ross's
own metrics.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, so it's nice.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It's a nice and simple thing, okay, reference.
I would definitely like to seewhen Kendrick replies, because
actually there was a Kendrickreply, but that was actually
confirmed as AI.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
It was AI.
What I'm waiting for is just so.
The real beef for me is justbetween Drake and Kendrick
Everybody else that's attachingthemselves is just.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You know, they're just looking for that publicity
as well.
I want to see how the battlecontinues, battle.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I want to hear the response, not even just
responses I want to hear theexcuses of why certain people
didn't pick better, ie thecoaches.
There we go.
Okay, let's go.
I want to hear.
I want to hear these excusesnow, because they're the the
casuals of among us.
They did some passing.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
so you know I'm saying we're gonna let them
slide and I ain't really gonnasay too much.
The casuals of Among Us.
They did some passing, so youknow what I'm saying we're going
to let them slide and I ain'treally going to say too much,
Whatever the passing is.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
That was the rule of the game.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It was the rule of the game.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I didn't pass too much.
We played by the rules.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, no, you're right.
So I'm not mad at you, but atthe same time I can say that
there was some passing.
So you know what I'm saying.
There's, there's certainsituations where it's like
bowling when you bring thebumpers out on the side.
You know, I'm saying your score.
You might have had a good scoreand you bowled that.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But not at all.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
We got to understand that there was bumpers there.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
You know what I'm saying in professional bowling
there's no bumpers.
And what we did?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
we didn't have bumpers I might have had the
bumpers, but I didn't have thelittle stand thing that you put
the bowling ball in and it rollsdown and that's cool and I will
take that.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Bumpers is.
You know, bumpers is cool.
You're still learning the game,nah not at all, you're still
learning the game.
We're not trying to see you.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
you know what I'm saying feel bad, shouldn't be
playing the game at all and bedepressed.
You know what I'm saying.
How about sitting there andcleaning my balls?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Wow, pause that.
What?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Yeah, we're going to pause that, but yeah, so let's
run down the line real quick.
So do you want to tell themwhat we're doing?
So pretty much we made a picklast episode.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh, okay.
So last episode, what we didwas everybody made a pick for
the UFC fights, some peoplepassed on certain fights, if you
didn't know anything about it,so you were cool to pass.
UFC 300, one of the biggestcards that we've seen in a very
long time, very exciting.
If you followed my picks andparlayed them, you would have
won a lot of money.
But you know what I'm saying Atleast my wins.
(10:21):
I mean, if you would have putall my picks together you would
have definitely lost, but yeah,the wins would have got you
something.
I mean, I came up on a littlesomething that night because I
picked five of mine and came upon a couple hundred dollars, on
a $10 bet, there you go.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
So you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
That's why you're the guy.
We're doing that.
We're going to do that.
We're going gonna do that,we're gonna do that.
So let's run through it, let'srun to it, so we're gonna run
through.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
So we should run through quickly through the
prelims.
Nothing really important, justto find out who drank, who not,
and then that's it.
Let's keep it moving.
Who won, who lost?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
and then drink all right, so first fight.
Davidson figured right.
I always mess up his name, I'msorry, sir.
Dig is in figurado and codygarbrandt people thato.
And Cody Garbrandt, people thatpick.
Cody Garbrandt, please take adrink.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
A train.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That'll be A train, because, oh yeah, we're letting
Tiff slide Even though.
Tiff did make picks, but shedidn't agree to the drinking, so
we're not going to hold her tothe drinking.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
And she didn't know that you could take a pass.
I appreciate consent.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
We're all about consent here at absolute dmv all
about consent.
So right now, the only personthat seems to need to take a
drink would be a train.
All right, a train.
Do you have your drink, jesus?
Don't do that again, please,please.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Oh my God, I actually liked it.
Not into the microphone please.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Never again.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What is going?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
on Super.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That was wild in my ears, wild and that might need
to be paused, yeah.
That might even need to bepaused.
Yeah, that was Just in case.
Yeah, all right.
Fight number two Fight numbertwo.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
We have Bobby Green versus Jim Miller, green versus
jim miller.
Uh, we had a lot of people goout on this.
Yeah, I didn't know too muchabout the bobby green and jim
miller.
That's the only one I didn'twant to be, so all right, wait a
minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
But he's just talking about picks with your rationale
, right?
None of these characters here,right you?
You guys have rationales likewhy did you pick what?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
oh, okay, okay, I mean, I think I said you picked
I think I said it last podcastbut Davidson Figueiredo, I said
that he was the one that's beenthrough more battles.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Say his name one more time.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Come on, man stop.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
I'm trying to move on , Good exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I said that he was going to be the one to be.
He's been through more battlesand I think that Cody Garbrand
and if he gets touched he couldpossibly go down, but I honest
this is the one fight I actuallymissed, so I didn't actually
see how exactly it wasn'tknocked out.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
No, but I was saying logic out I know it doesn't blow
my logic out, because I'mtrying to see how did he get
cody down.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So you don't know, did he?
I'm asking you a question soyou don't know.
I'm asking you a question forthe sake for the sake of the
episode just drink.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Whoever got to drink, just drink.
That's what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
So this is what it is .
So the prelims, we're notgetting so serious into it, the
only time we get serious aboutthe one.
So pretty much main cards.
That's what we were talkingabout yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
A-Train's trying to get me right now and I have no
problem with it.
That's why.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I'm trying to make it clear.
Bottoms up.
That was only the first fight.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
This is the one fight I didn't see, so I don't know
if Davidson dropped him to puthim down or how he got down.
Bobby Green and Jim Miller yes,no one needs to take a drink
because Tiff, like I said, Tiff,she picked Miller but she
didn't opt into drinking.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
So she doesn't need to take a drink.
Shout out to Miller he did goto VTech, so he has a Hokies.
Okay, okay, all right, allright.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Shout out, shout out to Jim Miller, but he got that
ass.
Whooped Okay, keep it going.
Whooped okay, keep it, I didsee that all right.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Marina rodriguez versus jessica yeah, um, anybody
, I drank ego and mark.
Oh yeah, that's what I get forlistening to you.
I forgot how scary andrade.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, I, I saw her, I saw the height, I was like I
forgot.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
She's like a scary yeah, but it was a decision so
it wasn't a knockout.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So she was tough, yeah, all right, and the stats
looked good in her favor.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Jalen Turner versus Renato Moicano.
I picked Jalen Turner.
I will take a drink.
Is this because he was black.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
We match it back.
Is that because he was black?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I picked him because he was black and I picked him
because I thought that Renato Imean, I'm going to be flat out.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
He wasn't black.
No, no, I'm going to be flatout.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I thought Renato was going to stand with him, and
well he did.
And then he dropped him andtook him down.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
He got down the town.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, and then he took him down.
So I mean not took him down,but he dropped him and finished
him off.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, so you drink, so I so you drink, so I took my
drink.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You took your drink, all right, and A-Train got to
take a drink also.
He took his.
I already did that, okay.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
But anyway, you know what Cody was submitted, right,
cody was submitted.
Exactly, that's not whatDavidson does.
So with all this, oh, he wouldhave dropped it.
He would have said it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
He's Brazilian, whatever.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
And so Davidson did something that's different than
he's done before.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
A-train yes, I want to make sure this is clear,
right and so what he did is thathe submitted him and that was
special Okay.
I get, this is your segment,but come on.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I'm done, okay, thank you.
I want to make sure that someanalysis.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
No, we can always go back, because what's the point
of this thing?
Who won or?
Speaker 6 (15:46):
who lost.
It should be some analysis.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Okay, but how about we do this?
We will go through them andthen we can go back to the ones
you want to talk about realquick.
Okay, all right, thank you Allright.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
I'm sorry I mean, what's the point?
What's the point of looking ata fight unless you analyze what
happened or say something aboutwhat actually happened and how?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And that was like I said, that was the one fight I
didn't see.
So I just needed I know that hesubmitted him.
I just needed to know how hegot him in the position to
submit him, because it was arear naked choke.
It wasn't like they came outstanding and he just jumped on
his back and choked him out.
So you know what I'm saying.
So let's move on.
Diego Lopez versus SadiqYoussef this one hurt because
(16:34):
DMV made it.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
We all had to drink.
No, I don't have to drink,except Tiff.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Tiff would be the only one that didn't have to
drink because she went againstthe DMV.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
It's about to get your DMV card revoked Traitor.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Look, sadiq man, it's about playing smart.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
You're right.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Not playing with loyalty.
That is a very DMV approach.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You're right, I ain't mad at you.
So we all got to take a drink.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
We all drank, I drank .
Speaker 1 (16:59):
That I was playing smart All right, all right, come
on, keep moving.
Keep moving Kayla Harrisonversus Holly Holm.
I said it from jump.
Kayla was not going to standwith Holly Holm.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yes, no way.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
I said it from jump.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Yeah, he said it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
He said it, yeah, so see, now hold on, don't see.
You see he's doing it now.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
No, hold on, don't see.
You see he's doing it now.
No, just ask your question.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You see he's doing it now.
No Because, no, no, becausewhen I asked, how I'm not going
to say anything more.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Time out.
I asked when I asked howDavidson got him down to choke
him, and he said he's justfocusing on the choke.
Now I said that Kayla Harrisonwas going down and finished it,
and now he's talking about some.
What is the definition of achoke?
What do you mean, bro?
(17:47):
Don't do that.
Don't do that Ego did you drink.
Don't do that.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
So, either way.
I said Kayla Harrison and abunch of other people got a
drink.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Sanukian.
Sorry, that's the Armenianright.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Yeah, Armenian.
Yeah, mark picked the Armenianyeah of course, and I was trying

Let's go with blood Resilient by marriage.
I'm being my blood Alright.
Speaker 1 (20:06):

Speaker 5 (20:10):
Okay, alright, so I have to drink.
A-train has to drink.

Everybody got to drink, except for me and the
ones that opted out.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Peace be unto you.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yes, because Max Holloway did his thing.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
All right Zwing.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Zang Wei Li versus Yang.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Zhongnan.
Everybody voted for Zang.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Everybody voted for Zang.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Somebody said he had a strong face.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, he said that he wasn't going to pick
because he didn't want to seewomen mess up their pretty face,
and then turned around and saidthis woman had a strong face,
so he's going to pick her.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Her face wasn't going to get messed up either the
cheek muscles that's what reallyput it over the top?
Strong cheek muscles.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
That was my strategy, and it worked.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
And on this last one, Alex.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Fiera versus Jamal Hill.
Everybody know, Once again I'mgoing to be the only one

That's what I get 50-50.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Hey look, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I'm sorry Me and Issa Rae, we're voting.
What's it called?
We're cheering for everybodyblack.
Or what do we say?
We're rooting for everybodyblack?
So, I'm sorry, Forgive me.
I know Brazilians aretechnically black also, but I
don't know if they considerthemselves black like Dominicans
.
So hey, I'm going for the blackguy.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
All right.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Okay, so everybody depends on Everybody's a little
saucy.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
What type of Brazilian?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
No, I'm dead serious.
We all good All right.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
So Dominicans don't consider themselves black and
I'm going to apologize.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I'm not going to be rude.
You have to repeat yourself.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I'm not going to try to be rude.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Okay, not all Dominicans, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
If everybody hears this, it's not.
Ego's not trying to be rude.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Ego's not.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Yeah, but I was.
We can get through this.
That was refreshing.
I want to respect the segment.
It is A-Train and Tiffany'ssegment.
I want them to really breakdown.
I just wanted to go throughthis picture real quick and then
we can pretty much break downthe fight.
That's what it was.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Which fights would you guys like to break down?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Which one do you want to start with?
Let me just shout out um holmesversus harrison for a second I
think, the one thing that peopleforget because people are
comparing harrison with rondarousey.
But harrison is a two-timeolympic gold judo medalist,
which is crucial, and I actuallywatched the Instagram story of
(22:40):
one of her coaches and they saidthat exact sequence where they
she took her down, double takedown to the rear choke the judo
choke.
They trained that sequence fortwo months, so just the level of
strategy that they have to toexecuting.
That's why it ended so quicklyand I think you mentioned, like
(23:01):
A-Train before, about Holly Holmand the clinch being like a big
, big mistake.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Well, what I would say is that Kayla is clearly not
Ronda Rousey, size-wise andeverything else that when you
prepare for a fight, right,there's something called a game
plan.
Every person understands that.
You have to look at youropponent pluses, minuses,
strengths, weaknesses and thenthat's how you prepare so quick
(23:28):
question on that, real quick,I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Do you think that she watched, uh, previous fights of
holly holmes weaknesses anddefinitely played to that part,
because they showed also, umMisha Tate.
So Misha Tate did the sameexact thing do you know, I, I,
you could say yes.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
I think everybody knows that Holly Holmes is not a
grappler and basically herstyle is to uh, prevent
grappling right, stop the shoot.
You know, have, take downdefense, all of that.
If you look at her fight withRonda Rousey, that's exactly
what she did.
She didn't want to be touchedin any way, and understand that
sometimes if it's a person whowants to do a double leg versus
(24:06):
a jujitsu person who doesn'tneed a double leg, doesn't need
to grab any part of you, theycan take you down right, because
they're going to sweep you,they're going to trip you.
They're going to trip you,they're going to do something.
She did all these things atRonda Rousey.
She did none of those things atKayla.
So that's poor, either gameplanning or what happens
sometimes when you're trainingsomeone, they do something
completely different than whatwas in the training room, and so
(24:27):
it was kind of shocking that,not that she lost, that.
Her approach to the fight wasI'm going to try to take you
down, and you remember wewatched the fight.
Not only did she, she didn'treverse an attempt for Kayla
taking her down, what she did istry to take Kayla down herself,
which is like suicide.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Did you see the size of Kayla's back?
It is massive.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
I was just about to say this.
Sorry, I gotta finish.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
She is built for grappling.
She's built different.
This is an finish.
She is built for grappling.
She's built different this isan issue.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
She's built different .
And this is an issue.
She came.
Was this a debut?
Speaker 6 (25:05):
fight.
This is her first intro to UFCTo.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
UFC.
So this is her debut fight forthe UFC, right?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yes, but she's been in PFL for like about four or
five years.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
PFL doesn't have the same comp A but B.
What I'm going to say here thatmight be annoying is that she's
now on, potentially on thislist to find out how did she do
it.
So some people think there's awhole list of people who are
quote, unquote weight cheats andwe say that we mean that
(25:36):
they're bigger and they'refinding a way to shrink down the
weight and wait.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Well, you hide, you get always.
That's always been that, no.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
No, there's certain people who do that.
Well, conor McGregor was one ofthose so that when he actually
starts fighting people over, heloses, right, or it becomes more
equal, cody, not quite right.
Um, john Jones, alex FieraGaethje is one of those as well.
That's the reason why he'sknown by everybody as a person
(26:01):
who walks around at 190 poundsand he shrinks himself down.
So we know that Kayla has herhistory in judo is basically
wrestling judo, playing at 170some odd pounds.
So some people wonder playingat 170 some odd pounds?
So some people wonder.
Now, kevin Aioli, who is a youknow, a critic, right, a boxing,
(26:22):
now UFC MMA writer, said he wasshocked how big she looked post
weigh-in.
So the question is, is thatthat influence in any way?
What happened?
Now we know that.
You know there are pluses andminuses to everything.
Right, that her technique isthere, but there are some people
who clearly have that as anadvantage and we always have to
(26:44):
look at that.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
But didn't she not have to cut weight in the PFL?
So her having to cut weight nowcould actually be to her
detriment.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Some people try to argue that, but you know what?
Everyone is different.
So there's some people who,when they cut weight like that,
they're weak, and there areother people who, when they cut
weight like that and then theyballoon up.
Ie Conor McGregor.
Look at his fight with Aldo howhe looked like he was from a
concentration camp and then heblew up.
And in that fight particularly,I would note that Jose Aldo
(27:16):
punched him straight in the faceand he just ate that punch and
knocked out Jose Aldo.
How does that happen?
The same issue sometimeshappens with boxing.
You have some people who arehuge.
On fight night they're fightingat 145 pounds and then when
they walk into the ring they're165, 170 pounds.
(27:36):
So you have to consider.
That Doesn't take away to meKayla's brilliance on the ground
right and the stupidity ofHolly Holmes in trying to fight
her the way she did, but it'ssomething that we'd have to pay
attention when we're pickingfights and you know we'll go to
the next one.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I just knew that Kayla wasn't going to just want
to sit there and strike Straightup.
No, no, I mean no, no, no.
She did for a little bit.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
No, she's built different.
Like there's people they knowtheir game plan, they know their
number one.
Right, you train like, okay, Imight strike with you, but guess
what?
I'm going to go with my breadand butter and I'm going to do
what I do best.
I mean.
So the Ronda Rousey, rondaRousey, ronda Rousey, ronda
Rousey, ronda Rousey I'mthinking of fucking Wrestle WWE.
(28:25):
So that situation, it was theopposite.
She literally is like I'm goingto strike with a striker to
prove to everybody I'm a striker.
And then got fucked up Prettymuch and that's what I'm talking
about.
Like she got caught up in thehype, like, oh, and you saw the
pad work before the pre thing,right, sometimes people like you
said, it's built different.
(28:46):
They're like, regardless ofwhat my what, they hype me up,
I'm going to win this fight.
And Harrison was like I'm goingto win this fight because I
know that she can't beat this.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's what I'm talking aboutthe Misha Tate, because Misha
Tate is a grappler before she'sa striker.
And at the end of the day sheknew, like, if I can't beat you
in the stand, I'm going to takeit down.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I have one question, though, about the
weights, though you know, ongetting in there for the ring,
how much do you think of that?
Could potentially be likestrategic water weight.
Oh, hell yeah Not drinkinggoing into a sweat.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Lodge the day before you know exactly what a weight
cut is.
It's 100% a science, yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
So technically you can either old school back then
it used to be you can.
Actually, the day that youweigh in is the day that it
actually shows your true weight.
The UFC changed that.
Now it's the day before.
So they weigh technically.
When they show their weigh-insit's not their true weigh-ins.
They literally are weighed inbefore, before they actually get
on the scale.
(29:48):
So there's a science to it.
You weigh in, there's electriclights, there's all kinds of
other stuff.
They got to get tested Becausea lot of times people can cheat,
they can cheat.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
So you're saying there's two different ones,
there's like the day before andthen that day after, and they
compare the weights.
I think the day.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
So technically what I found out?
That like when they do theweigh-ins it's not the day of
the weigh-ins.
It's the day before.
It's the day before.
Yeah, and then.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Sometimes it's shocking when you find out, and
so particularly for her andagain I'm not taking away from
her win, but I do like her and Ithink that she's great for the
sport.
I'm just saying, the day afterthey were like she gained
20-some-odd pounds.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Is that okay, and usually that's a conversation
they allow men to kind of getaway with that.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
But, now of course it's women.
That's the conversation.
They allow men to kind of getaway with that.
But now of course you know it'swomen.
And, as you know, dana Whitehad a limit why he didn't have
cyborgs fight?
Because he didn't want to goabove like 135, 145.
She couldn't get in there.
And so now he's beingoppressive and allow larger
weights or larger women tocompete.
But he wouldn't do that before,right.
(30:56):
So remember, ronda Rousey alsoused to be very skinny, right.
So anyway, next fight.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
No.
So it's weird because againback in the day, it's like the
day you weigh in is the day youtrue weight, right?
So then there'll be fightersliterally going in the sauna
just to lose that last pound,whatever.
They don't do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I was just about to say that I was like I used to
remember, at least somewhatrecently, that guys would weigh
in and if they didn't makeweight they would have to go
back and do it, and then theywould come back out a couple
hours later and then make weightand then try to make weight
again.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
They had to take off their clothes to to be on the
scale.
At the time, you remember, theyused to hold up a towel daniel
cormier.
It was the craziest and actuallythat's why I think I felt the
truest, because again, when thathappened, your body changes
because the night before that'sthe night before, so that your
truest uh performance will beokay.
(31:55):
The way of you changing your uh, when you lost weight the day
and then you fought the next day, you have two days of recovery
now.
So again you're bulking up tothe point of, like you said, you
can eat like anything you wantafter you weigh in the day,
before you actually weigh in.
So that's why they're like 20pounds really over.
So now you're comfortable.
(32:15):
You pooped everything out,whatever.
No, straight up.
Like I've literally seen it andit's the crazy thing, that's
what I'm saying.
Like they do the poop.
You've seen the poop.
Right, I've seen the poop.
Yeah, the poop was literally,it was yeah anyway, but that's
what I'm saying.
Like the politics of it,because they have to make it
look like it's a legit thing,but it's not damn yeah, that's
(32:37):
crazy.
I didn't know that though no,it's, it's politics to it.
Don't, don't, don't get ittwisted, all right, um with any
anything else.
Everybody I actually do youknow what's so funny?
Not to cut you off, I want totalk about the holloway joint
real quick.
That shit was fucking epic.
That shit fucking was real.
Like honestly, even though Ididn't, I didn't vote, I lost
(32:58):
that shit.
Okay, I didn't.
But the thing about the reasonwhy I lost it because holloway
hasn't been doing anythinglately, until just this recently
he's been like people beenscared of him, like scared of
some standing toe-to-toe, andthat's the reason why I'm pissed
.
That's why I voted to,obviously, because I'm thinking
jake geishi was going to prettymuch do what the typical UFC
(33:22):
people like I'm going to win thefight and stay away in the
strike right and when he startedright for the last 10 seconds.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yeah, and just got whaled at Yo not whaled.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
No, he got punished.
Like it was literally likestraight up like a movie, like
it was like Easy.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
No, I mean, I said it before, I'll say it again Max
is the best boxer in the UFC.
He was going.
Sometimes it's not really allabout knocking somebody out and
having all that power.
It was about straight up.
It's about sometimes when youjust hit people more times than
(34:03):
they hit you and you just hitthem a bunch of times I don't
think it was that to a certainto an end of it.
It just becomes a a combinationof just getting rocked the
entire time.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
I felt different with that.
I think holloway, his skill, helike you know how.
Okay again, I guess it's comingfrom experience.
If I know my confidence thatthis right like A-Train will
know If you know this right handis going to knock you out and
you know I just need to connectthis one right hand.
If I stand toe-to-toe, if thisright hand connects I'm going to
(34:37):
knock you out.
Holloway knew that.
Like he knew, stand right hereand I guarantee I'm going to
knock you out.
That's what he knew.
The last 10 seconds who gamblesat 10 seconds to knock somebody
out?
Speaker 6 (34:48):
He knew, Like Holloway, he does it all the
time.
Was that your Tiffany?
Was that your?
Speaker 3 (34:53):
pick, I chose.
Gitche probably because he hasthe most best blend of styles.
There is something that Iforgot about.
I have my little notebook um ofwhat happened, fight analysis.
But for the striking coachgentleman here, I remembered
that gaethje got eye poked twicenow in your guys's experience,
(35:15):
yes, the fight did continue, buthow much do you think this
rattled gaethje?
None his game.
You don't think so?
Why is?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
that, because again you would know His nose was
broken in the first it doesn'tmatter.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Your adrenaline is pumping so much that it doesn't
matter if you get eye poked.
If you're really that injured,you will stop the fight or you
will give your fourth fiveminutes if you're really that
bad.
Gaethje knew he's a scrapper.
Any scrapper is going to belike all right, I got eye poke,
but I have another eye.
Do you understand?
I love that.
(35:47):
I love that.
No, no, straight up, like if Iwas.
I grew up that way.
Like like if I have a, if my,if my left arm got dislocated.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I I understand that.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
No, don't Like.
There's certain people that arelike, built different, like
that.
Yes, they will like.
If I got dislocated, my arm gotdislocated in a fight, actually
, in my fight my hip gotdislocated in that fight.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
You can use the other hip.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
Is that what they tell the senior citizens?
Speaker 3 (36:18):
before they press the lifeblood, all right.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
So this is coming from non-fighters and
motherfuckers.
So the thing about it is it's adifferent beast.
You have to push throughwhatever you need to do and
again he's not going to quit andsay, okay, I'm going to take on
the.
He's like alright, let's go,I'm a scrapper.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
His nose was broken in the first round.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
So he's obviously a scrapper.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
But the idea behind it is he got his nose broken in
the first and then got his facebeat up for the rest of the
fight, until the last 10 seconds.
He told Gaethje meet me in themiddle.
Gaethje met him there and heput his ass to sleep.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Okay, okay, guess what?
Did he walk away or did hestand in front, like this is?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
people.
They both walk towards thecenter.
They knew they wanted a goodfinish.
No, no.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Holloway is a better fighter.
Only it comes to that.
But I'm just saying and hemoved up in weight yeah, but he
didn't the thing about Gaethjedid not like back down like what
normal people do he was thebigger man.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
Okay, but he's the bigger guy.
He's a stronger guy.
He has the best better skillsets overall.
But he's the bigger guy, he's astronger guy.
He has the best better skillsets overall but he's had his
night, he's had his lights putout and max hasn't, as you
mentioned, between the eye pokes, which were not direct eye
pokes, because there's adifference between a person
trying to grab you and I pokeyou, versus someone giving a
(37:38):
finger jab and those.
That's.
That was a jumping back fist,jumping back kick, right, we've
seen people who think that, uh,joe rogan is the best fighter
ever and guess what?
That's one of his kicks, right?
So we know that a jumping backkick or a back kick, is a
powerful kick.
He broke his nose, probablybroke his face, probably broke
his eye socket when he hit himwith that shot and that pretty
(38:00):
much was downhill for them.
So you notice not just that hewalked in and punched in what
it's that, where was theirtakedown?
Where was the grappling?
Where was the kicking?
Speaker 1 (38:12):
it was all the championship.
There was going to be notakedowns.
All those men were going tostand there and scrap, had he?
Speaker 6 (38:18):
did not display them, and so it was an intelligent
pick, I think, to pick Gaethje,based on all that he has, versus
Holloway, who primarily is aboxer, and he will tell you I'm
the best, I have the best handsand it's like, yeah, but hands
is not all there is to this game.
But those two gentlemen weregoing to fight that only fight
(38:38):
him with hands and literally he,he said, come to the center,
probably not saying I know I'mgoing to knock you out, because
he doesn't knock people out, hewears you down because he's a
volume fighter, a volume puncher, exactly.
But what's his name?
Obliged him, walked in thereand paid the consequences,
alright.
Speaker 5 (38:58):
So anything else Okay we're done with that, okay.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Ace, you won with that.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
Okay, we're done with that Okay.
You won you won with that, allright.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
I know I did.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
It's so funny.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
He's literally like y'all was John like
disrespecting my man.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Just like he ain't got the power, he ain't got this
.
He ain't got that no, not youCause you, he ain't got that no,
not you.
No, Because you didn't giveyour pick that way.
But I'm saying these guys werein here like he ain't got the
power, he don't hit hard enough.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
He don't do this, he don't do that, and they always
talk about how a knockout is theonly thing that you should do
in a fight.
You can't just volume a personto death and Max did both.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
All right, so anybody and Max did both.
All right, so anybody else?
Shout out to Max Holloway,anybody else?
You want to talk about Jamaland Alex Pierre?
What are you talking about?
We talked more about the actualmain event.
Speaker 6 (39:50):
Let me ask a question , tiffany.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
What do you think about the Alex fight?
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Yes, the Alex fight.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Yeah, oh.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Alex Pereira versus Hill oh my God, oh my God.
Oh, my God.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
Exactly what happened there.
What's your narration?
What's your assessment?
What's?
Speaker 3 (40:13):
your analysis.
Oh my gosh, that's a lot ofpressure, nah.
Speaker 5 (40:17):
So what do you feel like?
So, before the fight started,what did you think that Hill?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Why did you pick Pereira?
Speaker 3 (40:27):
He's just the better fighter.
He's just the better kickboxer,but it's.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
MMA, it's MMA, so you can't say the better.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Yes, you can.
If you know two people aregoing to stand there and fight,
you don't have to worry about itthe reason why Hill was in that
fight and competitive becausehe was knocking people out.
Speaker 6 (40:45):
It's the last bunch of fights he was knocking people
out, cold, shocking the world,knocking people out.
Now the issue was and I thinkyou had mentioned it at some
point was that Hill was off fora while, right?
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Yeah, I actually wrote this as one of my reasons
I chose Pereira, because Hilljust had an Achilles tendon
injury last year and that couldbe a really big game changer.
That changes how you grapple,that changes how you strike.
So there's just a lot ofdisadvantages.
People say like, oh, everythingis fine, I'll recover, but in a
(41:18):
big fight like this against you, know, they're big boys.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I actually forgot about that.
I may have went the other wayif I were to remember that, but
I, like I said, I'm still youwent black.
It was short, I'm rooting foreverybody.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
Black baby, he's the men in black shout out to my
chem folk.
Speaker 6 (41:38):
but I'll add the other piece is that Jamal beat
Glover Texera, who is Alex'scoach, and so between that and
the fact that he was dissingAlex and his country right, his
nation he went hard.
He went so hard at that for ashort notice, like you're
already at disadvantage, becauseshort notice that means you
(41:58):
didn't have a full camp inpreparation and Alex you know, I
think what was so beautifulabout that finish was he got
kicked in the groin.
He waves the referee off andsaid no, I got this, I got this.
And he just stepped forward andcrushed him.
One shot right, one shot, onekill.
You just can't have more hestepped on his foot.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Beautiful technique, I guess, if you you know as a
fighter.
He stepped on his foot.
Beautiful technique, I guess,as a fighter.
But he stepped on his foot andthen knocked him the fuck out.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
Well, you know what you can miss stepping on the
foot.
So I'm not sure how strategicthat could be.
It's helpful for sure, but noteverybody is skillful enough to
always step on someone's foot.
I think the point is that hewalked through fire, he took
some shots and he was so laserfocused on breaking this guy
down.
And that is beauty, becausesometimes it's skill, sometimes
(42:52):
it's heart, sometimes it'sdesire, sometimes it's will.
And one thing that made to methis whole UFC card exciting is
that you saw elements of that indifferent fights.
Some people who were skillfulwon and some just had the will
Right.
They just had the desire, theyjust were hungry, and so I think
(43:14):
you like, I think any fan offighting likes all those
narratives and they enjoy it.
So overall, I think it was oneof the best UFC fights, probably
ever right.
In terms of competition andeven results.
Speaker 5 (43:29):
All right, well, again, we can keep going and
going about this, whatever, butwe're pretty much past that time
.
Let's have any closing remarksor any feelings y'all have to
talk about.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
I pick better than the coaches.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
Well, I think, I think that's not true.
To be fair, if, if, if likecoaches, do that.
Speaker 5 (43:52):
Hey, train, we'll do better next time you better.
Speaker 6 (43:54):
No see, coaching is about coaching.
Right, fighting is aboutfighting.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
And picking is about picking, and I pick better than
the coaches.
I ain't coach better than thecoaches.
Exactly, I coach better thanthe coaches.
No, you don't fight better thanthe fighters.
Well, I pick better than thecoaches.
Speaker 6 (44:07):
That's what I did definitely can do fighting
anytime, anywhere, any place,anyone and I'm always ready for
that, for sure, when it comes topicking for people it's just
for the patreon members.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
I don't know.
I think people would want towatch that.
Speaker 6 (44:21):
People would want to bet.
It's just for the Patreonmembers when it comes to
coaching and analyzing and allthat stuff.
I think that's what people wantto hear.
Yeah, right, because that's notalways done.
You can get on the internet andhear everyone's personal
opinion because of one reason oranother, but in terms of
(44:44):
understanding why a fightermight be motivated, or even, as
Tiffany mentioned, kalerpracticed that move right.
We saw the same thing when wesaw Jon Jones' last fight right
against I can't remember theFrenchman.
He did that move over and overagain and within seconds he used
that and finished that fight.
So that's what we want to see.
(45:05):
I think that's what fans wantto see and want to hear.
That's my final word.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Thank you, hey guys, we're going to do better next
time.
Tiffany, thank you for joiningus.
Speaker 5 (45:19):
Definitely we'll get better and we'll be better.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
You know what I'm saying and follow my pics.
If you want to win some money,all right, I'll let you all have
peace.
Speaker 5 (45:31):
Dmv Peace Cheers.

You know, man, we are herejoined today with a special
guest.
We have our homegirl, tiffanyin the house.
Tiffany, how you doing.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Hello, hello, I'm doing well.
How about you guys?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh, we are doing excellent.
The weather's been good today.
I mean, everybody look good.
I don't hear no sniffles.
Allergies ain't kicking nobodyass.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Oh, it's there, we're just masking it.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
All right, good, I like it that way.
You know what I'm saying.
Take your Claritin, your Zyrtecall that stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
You know we can't sneeze the wrong way, no more oh
no bro, we are professionals.
Military time.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Military time right profession now.
But let's jump straight into itbecause you know I'm saying I'm
gonna make this a quick cookbecause I was trying to cook
last podcast and the guys wasgetting on me, so I'm gonna make
this a quick cook.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
You know what I'm saying?
Hibachi, out here you knowshort order cook.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
I'm gonna do my food truck thing, it's still gonna be
good, though I'm playing withy'all, though I'm playing with
y'all not for real.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
All right, we have a response, or do we have a
response?
Drizzy dropped a bomb.
All right, I'm sorry.
I don't know if he dropped abomb, because I don't think it
was that tough.
I honestly think it was a jab.
If.
Because I'm saying if?
Because there are reports thatthis drake response is actually
(02:12):
ai.
So, um, I'm a little bitconcerned.
I listened to it a couple oftimes and it did kind of sound
like ai actually some parts,some parts.
And then I was just like whoeverthis is, really, really, really
and it did kind of sound likeAI actually Some parts, some
parts.
And then I was just likewhoever this is really, really,
really understands Drake's flow?
Yeah, because he had thecadence down, he had a lot of
(02:33):
stuff down, but there were somethings in there that just wasn't
typical A bit off.
Yeah, you know, it wasn'ttypical Drake and at least
typical Drake production eitherDrake and at least typical Drake
production either.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
well, I gotta say I think the fact that it was uh,
the way that it was deliveredwas like really cool, because I
think that's what got Drake thewin really in his uh beef with
Meek Mills was that he produceda diss track that was like a
club banger, like it was apopular record, it had a catchy
hook to it and it didn't reallyhave too many like amazing, like
jab bars on it.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
It wasn't just that Meek Mill was whack.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
No, Well yeah, wow, oof, wow, that's what you feel.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
It was a question I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, I will say Meek Mill did start it, and then
Drake responded, and then therewas a solid time period.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
We know what happened there, though we know what
happened there.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Anyway, this record has the potential to be another
pop sort of vibe club bangerwhich, right there, will take, I
think, a lot of the winning,because everyone who's going to
be dancing to it at the club isgoing to be incognito sort of
(03:46):
dissing Kendrick by just bangingto it and rocking with it.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
What's his name?
Um, dj academics played like afinished version, kind of like a
clean up version of it, and itsounded like you know something.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You're actually banging the club too, so yeah, I
mean they said that a couplepeople said that the record was
sent, I guess, actually by drakeright right, so it could be,
but either way, the the responseactually did enough that it got
one person to come out the hole.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Rick Ross responded.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Rick Ross responded.
And it's weird because youdon't really think about Rick
Ross like the battle rapper, thelyrical rapper.
You think of him more for likeluxury raps.
I'm riding in my car on a niceday.
You know, I'm feeling good, Ijust got a haircut type, you
know music I might be going tothe club type you know type
(04:32):
thing.
You know, I just got paid right.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Friday night, riding in the back of my car, smoking a
cigar type stuff, drinkingchampagne.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Well, I mean damn that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, but yeah the maybach music the aston martin
right right but rick ross'sreply though, I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It wasn't all that.
I mean it did what it wassupposed to do, but it wasn't
all that, because I don't knowhow true half of it was.
I mean, I get it, drake wantedto hang out with real realsters
and stuff like that, so when hefirst met you he was very
excited to be around you.
(05:09):
But I think that you have alsobenefited from knowing that
gentleman also.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Scratched his back as well.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, so it's like it's one of them things where
I'm just like it's veryinteresting for you to say that
about Drake, because you havebenefited so much from Drake,
from his record, from him beingon your records, from you being
on his records, just whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Well, the thing that really like nail in the head
right there, nail in the coffin,is the fact that on Aston
Martin music Drake has a featurebut in the radio version
drake's doesn't get his verse tobe on the feature, he just has
a little singing interlude, noteven the chorus, just an
interlude into the chorus.
Just to have his name attachedmade that record popular on the
(05:58):
top 40.
They didn't even need to havethe whole verse from him, they
just needed a little snippet tosay his name is on it.
Yep, so just to have thatco-sign.
Because he's really big in thetop 40 world, um, and and there
was nothing really new that cameout of that.
I mean, I've looked at drake's.
You know there's the talk aboutthe potential nose job, but
I've looked at like old photosof drake and this and that and
(06:19):
I'm like I can't even.
There was a really good nose jobwhere you can't even tell,
which I guess is how you want itto be.
But at that point, like what'sthe point?
So I don't know, there wasn'tanything that really made me
like head turn.
You know from that record.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I mean, to me I guess the funniest thing about it is
Rick Ross trying to body shamesomebody, and that's just
probably the funniest thing.
But other than that, hey, likeI said, I like rap.
I like when guys compete, Ilike when guys go at each other.
So as long as this stays rap,it can keep going for me.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Oh, did you say the mansion comparison as well?
They're comparing mansions.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I do not want to compare mansions.
Not, I do not.
I'm talking about any rapper.
I don't think you want tocompare mansions with drake.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I really don't think like they're friends for real,
like you know.
I mean like, especially wherethey're taking it out.
So it's out of rap now.
Now it's being petty like, oh,I'm talking about this, I'm
talking about that, um, I, it's,it's gone.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
It's gone outside of rap now the idea behind it is
regardless of what with twopeople who like to talk about
money or one person who reallylikes to talk about money, rick
Ross.
The easiest way to beat him isjust to say y'all have more
money than you and now it's likealright, cool, you know,
factual evidence will show, I dohave more money than you.
(07:43):
Yeah, you can have as many wingstops as you want.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
But Drake will be the biggest boss that you've seen
thus far.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Thank you If he's got more money.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying,just by going by Rick Ross's
own metrics.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, so it's nice.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It's a nice and simple thing, okay, reference.
I would definitely like to seewhen Kendrick replies, because
actually there was a Kendrickreply, but that was actually
confirmed as AI.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
It was AI.
What I'm waiting for is just so.
The real beef for me is justbetween Drake and Kendrick
Everybody else that's attachingthemselves is just.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You know, they're just looking for that publicity
as well.
I want to see how the battlecontinues, battle.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I want to hear the response, not even just
responses I want to hear theexcuses of why certain people
didn't pick better, ie thecoaches.
There we go.
Okay, let's go.
I want to hear.
I want to hear these excusesnow, because they're the the
casuals of among us.
They did some passing.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
so you know I'm saying we're gonna let them
slide and I ain't really gonnasay too much.
The casuals of Among Us.
They did some passing, so youknow what I'm saying we're going
to let them slide and I ain'treally going to say too much,
Whatever the passing is.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
That was the rule of the game.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It was the rule of the game.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I didn't pass too much.
We played by the rules.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, no, you're right.
So I'm not mad at you, but atthe same time I can say that
there was some passing.
So you know what I'm saying.
There's, there's certainsituations where it's like
bowling when you bring thebumpers out on the side.
You know, I'm saying your score.
You might have had a good scoreand you bowled that.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But not at all.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
We got to understand that there was bumpers there.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
You know what I'm saying in professional bowling
there's no bumpers.
And what we did?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
we didn't have bumpers I might have had the
bumpers, but I didn't have thelittle stand thing that you put
the bowling ball in and it rollsdown and that's cool and I will
take that.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Bumpers is.
You know, bumpers is cool.
You're still learning the game,nah not at all, you're still
learning the game.
We're not trying to see you.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
you know what I'm saying feel bad, shouldn't be
playing the game at all and bedepressed.
You know what I'm saying.
How about sitting there andcleaning my balls?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Wow, pause that.
What?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Yeah, we're going to pause that, but yeah, so let's
run down the line real quick.
So do you want to tell themwhat we're doing?
So pretty much we made a picklast episode.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh, okay.
So last episode, what we didwas everybody made a pick for
the UFC fights, some peoplepassed on certain fights, if you
didn't know anything about it,so you were cool to pass.
UFC 300, one of the biggestcards that we've seen in a very
long time, very exciting.
If you followed my picks andparlayed them, you would have
won a lot of money.
But you know what I'm saying Atleast my wins.
(10:21):
I mean, if you would have putall my picks together you would
have definitely lost, but yeah,the wins would have got you
something.
I mean, I came up on a littlesomething that night because I
picked five of mine and came upon a couple hundred dollars, on
a $10 bet, there you go.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
So you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
That's why you're the guy.
We're doing that.
We're going to do that.
We're going gonna do that,we're gonna do that.
So let's run through it, let'srun to it, so we're gonna run
through.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
So we should run through quickly through the
prelims.
Nothing really important, justto find out who drank, who not,
and then that's it.
Let's keep it moving.
Who won, who lost?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
and then drink all right, so first fight.
Davidson figured right.
I always mess up his name, I'msorry, sir.
Dig is in figurado and codygarbrandt people thato.
And Cody Garbrandt, people thatpick.
Cody Garbrandt, please take adrink.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
A train.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That'll be A train, because, oh yeah, we're letting
Tiff slide Even though.
Tiff did make picks, but shedidn't agree to the drinking, so
we're not going to hold her tothe drinking.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
And she didn't know that you could take a pass.
I appreciate consent.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
We're all about consent here at absolute dmv all
about consent.
So right now, the only personthat seems to need to take a
drink would be a train.
All right, a train.
Do you have your drink, jesus?
Don't do that again, please,please.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Oh my God, I actually liked it.
Not into the microphone please.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Never again.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What is going?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
on Super.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That was wild in my ears, wild and that might need
to be paused, yeah.
That might even need to bepaused.
Yeah, that was Just in case.
Yeah, all right.
Fight number two Fight numbertwo.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
We have Bobby Green versus Jim Miller, green versus
jim miller.
Uh, we had a lot of people goout on this.
Yeah, I didn't know too muchabout the bobby green and jim
miller.
That's the only one I didn'twant to be, so all right, wait a
minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
But he's just talking about picks with your rationale
, right?
None of these characters here,right you?
You guys have rationales likewhy did you pick what?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
oh, okay, okay, I mean, I think I said you picked
I think I said it last podcastbut Davidson Figueiredo, I said
that he was the one that's beenthrough more battles.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Say his name one more time.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Come on, man stop.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
I'm trying to move on , Good exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I said that he was going to be the one to be.
He's been through more battlesand I think that Cody Garbrand
and if he gets touched he couldpossibly go down, but I honest
this is the one fight I actuallymissed, so I didn't actually
see how exactly it wasn'tknocked out.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
No, but I was saying logic out I know it doesn't blow
my logic out, because I'mtrying to see how did he get
cody down.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So you don't know, did he?
I'm asking you a question soyou don't know.
I'm asking you a question forthe sake for the sake of the
episode just drink.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Whoever got to drink, just drink.
That's what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
So this is what it is .
So the prelims, we're notgetting so serious into it, the
only time we get serious aboutthe one.
So pretty much main cards.
That's what we were talkingabout yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
A-Train's trying to get me right now and I have no
problem with it.
That's why.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I'm trying to make it clear.
Bottoms up.
That was only the first fight.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
This is the one fight I didn't see, so I don't know
if Davidson dropped him to puthim down or how he got down.
Bobby Green and Jim Miller yes,no one needs to take a drink
because Tiff, like I said, Tiff,she picked Miller but she
didn't opt into drinking.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
So she doesn't need to take a drink.
Shout out to Miller he did goto VTech, so he has a Hokies.
Okay, okay, all right, allright.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Shout out, shout out to Jim Miller, but he got that
ass.
Whooped Okay, keep it going.
Whooped okay, keep it, I didsee that all right.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Marina rodriguez versus jessica yeah, um, anybody
, I drank ego and mark.
Oh yeah, that's what I get forlistening to you.
I forgot how scary andrade.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, I, I saw her, I saw the height, I was like I
forgot.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
She's like a scary yeah, but it was a decision so
it wasn't a knockout.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So she was tough, yeah, all right, and the stats
looked good in her favor.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Jalen Turner versus Renato Moicano.
I picked Jalen Turner.
I will take a drink.
Is this because he was black.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
We match it back.
Is that because he was black?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I picked him because he was black and I picked him
because I thought that Renato Imean, I'm going to be flat out.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
He wasn't black.
No, no, I'm going to be flatout.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I thought Renato was going to stand with him, and
well he did.
And then he dropped him andtook him down.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
He got down the town.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, and then he took him down.
So I mean not took him down,but he dropped him and finished
him off.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, so you drink, so I so you drink, so I took my
drink.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You took your drink, all right, and A-Train got to
take a drink also.
He took his.
I already did that, okay.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
But anyway, you know what Cody was submitted, right,
cody was submitted.
Exactly, that's not whatDavidson does.
So with all this, oh, he wouldhave dropped it.
He would have said it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
He's Brazilian, whatever.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
And so Davidson did something that's different than
he's done before.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
A-train yes, I want to make sure this is clear,
right and so what he did is thathe submitted him and that was
special Okay.
I get, this is your segment,but come on.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I'm done, okay, thank you.
I want to make sure that someanalysis.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
No, we can always go back, because what's the point
of this thing?
Who won or?
Speaker 6 (15:46):
who lost.
It should be some analysis.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Okay, but how about we do this?
We will go through them andthen we can go back to the ones
you want to talk about realquick.
Okay, all right, thank you Allright.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
I'm sorry I mean, what's the point?
What's the point of looking ata fight unless you analyze what
happened or say something aboutwhat actually happened and how?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And that was like I said, that was the one fight I
didn't see.
So I just needed I know that hesubmitted him.
I just needed to know how hegot him in the position to
submit him, because it was arear naked choke.
It wasn't like they came outstanding and he just jumped on
his back and choked him out.
So you know what I'm saying.
So let's move on.
Diego Lopez versus SadiqYoussef this one hurt because
(16:34):
DMV made it.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
We all had to drink.
No, I don't have to drink,except Tiff.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Tiff would be the only one that didn't have to
drink because she went againstthe DMV.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
It's about to get your DMV card revoked Traitor.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Look, sadiq man, it's about playing smart.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
You're right.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Not playing with loyalty.
That is a very DMV approach.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You're right, I ain't mad at you.
So we all got to take a drink.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
We all drank, I drank .
Speaker 1 (16:59):
That I was playing smart All right, all right, come
on, keep moving.
Keep moving Kayla Harrisonversus Holly Holm.
I said it from jump.
Kayla was not going to standwith Holly Holm.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yes, no way.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
I said it from jump.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Yeah, he said it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
He said it, yeah, so see, now hold on, don't see.
You see he's doing it now.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
No, hold on, don't see.
You see he's doing it now.
No, just ask your question.

Sanukian.
Sorry, that's the Armenianright.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Yeah, Armenian.

I'm being my blood Alright.
Speaker 1 (20:06):

Okay, alright, so I have to drink.
A-train has to drink.

Everybody got to drink, except for me and the
ones that opted out.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (20:20):

All right Zwing.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Zang Wei Li versus Yang.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Zhongnan.
Everybody voted for Zang.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Everybody voted for Zang.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Somebody said he had a strong face.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, he said that he wasn't going to pick
because he didn't want to seewomen mess up their pretty face,
and then turned around and saidthis woman had a strong face,
so he's going to pick her.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Her face wasn't going to get messed up either the
cheek muscles that's what reallyput it over the top?
Strong cheek muscles.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
That was my strategy, and it worked.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
And on this last one, Alex.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Fiera versus Jamal Hill.
Everybody know, Once again I'mgoing to be the only one
drinking because I went with theblack guy.
That's what I get 50-50.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Hey look, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I'm sorry Me and Issa Rae, we're voting.
What's it called?
We're cheering for everybodyblack.
Or what do we say?
We're rooting for everybodyblack?
So, I'm sorry, Forgive me.
I know Brazilians aretechnically black also, but I
don't know if they considerthemselves black like Dominicans
.
So hey, I'm going for the blackguy.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
All right.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Okay, so everybody depends on Everybody's a little
saucy.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
What type of Brazilian?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
No, I'm dead serious.
We all good All right.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
So Dominicans don't consider themselves black and
I'm going to apologize.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I'm not going to be rude.
You have to repeat yourself.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I'm not going to try to be rude.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Okay, not all Dominicans, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
If everybody hears this, it's not.
Ego's not trying to be rude.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Ego's not.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Yeah, but I was.
We can get through this.
That was refreshing.
I want to respect the segment.
It is A-Train and Tiffany'ssegment.
I want them to really breakdown.
I just wanted to go throughthis picture real quick and then
we can pretty much break downthe fight.
That's what it was.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Which fights would you guys like to break down?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Which one do you want to start with?
Let me just shout out um holmesversus harrison for a second I
think, the one thing that peopleforget because people are
comparing harrison with rondarousey.
But harrison is a two-timeolympic gold judo medalist,
which is crucial, and I actuallywatched the Instagram story of
(22:40):
one of her coaches and they saidthat exact sequence where they
she took her down, double takedown to the rear choke the judo
choke.
They trained that sequence fortwo months, so just the level of
strategy that they have to toexecuting.
That's why it ended so quicklyand I think you mentioned, like
(23:01):
A-Train before, about Holly Holmand the clinch being like a big
, big mistake.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Well, what I would say is that Kayla is clearly not
Ronda Rousey, size-wise andeverything else that when you
prepare for a fight, right,there's something called a game
plan.
Every person understands that.
You have to look at youropponent pluses, minuses,
strengths, weaknesses and thenthat's how you prepare so quick
(23:28):
question on that, real quick,I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Do you think that she watched, uh, previous fights of
holly holmes weaknesses anddefinitely played to that part,
because they showed also, umMisha Tate.
So Misha Tate did the sameexact thing do you know, I, I,
you could say yes.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
I think everybody knows that Holly Holmes is not a
grappler and basically herstyle is to uh, prevent
grappling right, stop the shoot.
You know, have, take downdefense, all of that.
If you look at her fight withRonda Rousey, that's exactly
what she did.
She didn't want to be touchedin any way, and understand that
sometimes if it's a person whowants to do a double leg versus
(24:06):
a jujitsu person who doesn'tneed a double leg, doesn't need
to grab any part of you, theycan take you down right, because
they're going to sweep you,they're going to trip you.
They're going to trip you,they're going to do something.
She did all these things atRonda Rousey.
She did none of those things atKayla.
So that's poor, either gameplanning or what happens
sometimes when you're trainingsomeone, they do something
completely different than whatwas in the training room, and so
(24:27):
it was kind of shocking that,not that she lost, that.
Her approach to the fight wasI'm going to try to take you
down, and you remember wewatched the fight.
Not only did she, she didn'treverse an attempt for Kayla
taking her down, what she did istry to take Kayla down herself,
which is like suicide.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Did you see the size of Kayla's back?
It is massive.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
I was just about to say this.
Sorry, I gotta finish.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
She is built for grappling.
She's built different.
This is an finish.
She is built for grappling.
She's built different this isan issue.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
She's built different .
And this is an issue.
She came.
Was this a debut?
Speaker 6 (25:05):
fight.
This is her first intro to UFCTo.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
UFC.
So this is her debut fight forthe UFC, right?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yes, but she's been in PFL for like about four or
five years.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
PFL doesn't have the same comp A but B.
What I'm going to say here thatmight be annoying is that she's
now on, potentially on thislist to find out how did she do
it.
So some people think there's awhole list of people who are
quote, unquote weight cheats andwe say that we mean that
(25:36):
they're bigger and they'refinding a way to shrink down the
weight and wait.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Well, you hide, you get always.
That's always been that, no.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
No, there's certain people who do that.
Well, conor McGregor was one ofthose so that when he actually
starts fighting people over, heloses, right, or it becomes more
equal, cody, not quite right.
Um, john Jones, alex FieraGaethje is one of those as well.
That's the reason why he'sknown by everybody as a person
(26:01):
who walks around at 190 poundsand he shrinks himself down.
So we know that Kayla has herhistory in judo is basically
wrestling judo, playing at 170some odd pounds.
So some people wonder playingat 170 some odd pounds?
So some people wonder.
Now, kevin Aioli, who is a youknow, a critic, right, a boxing,
(26:22):
now UFC MMA writer, said he wasshocked how big she looked post
weigh-in.
So the question is, is thatthat influence in any way?
What happened?
Now we know that.
You know there are pluses andminuses to everything.
Right, that her technique isthere, but there are some people
who clearly have that as anadvantage and we always have to
(26:44):
look at that.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
But didn't she not have to cut weight in the PFL?
So her having to cut weight nowcould actually be to her
detriment.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Some people try to argue that, but you know what?
Everyone is different.
So there's some people who,when they cut weight like that,
they're weak, and there areother people who, when they cut
weight like that and then theyballoon up.
Ie Conor McGregor.
Look at his fight with Aldo howhe looked like he was from a
concentration camp and then heblew up.
And in that fight particularly,I would note that Jose Aldo
(27:16):
punched him straight in the faceand he just ate that punch and
knocked out Jose Aldo.
How does that happen?
The same issue sometimeshappens with boxing.
You have some people who arehuge.
On fight night they're fightingat 145 pounds and then when
they walk into the ring they're165, 170 pounds.
(27:36):
So you have to consider.
That Doesn't take away to meKayla's brilliance on the ground
right and the stupidity ofHolly Holmes in trying to fight
her the way she did, but it'ssomething that we'd have to pay
attention when we're pickingfights and you know we'll go to
the next one.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I just knew that Kayla wasn't going to just want
to sit there and strike Straightup.
No, no, I mean no, no, no.
She did for a little bit.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
No, she's built different.
Like there's people they knowtheir game plan, they know their
number one.
Right, you train like, okay, Imight strike with you, but guess
what?
I'm going to go with my breadand butter and I'm going to do
what I do best.
I mean.
So the Ronda Rousey, rondaRousey, ronda Rousey, ronda
Rousey, ronda Rousey I'mthinking of fucking Wrestle WWE.
(28:25):
So that situation, it was theopposite.
She literally is like I'm goingto strike with a striker to
prove to everybody I'm a striker.
And then got fucked up Prettymuch and that's what I'm talking
about.
Like she got caught up in thehype, like, oh, and you saw the
pad work before the pre thing,right, sometimes people like you
said, it's built different.
(28:46):
They're like, regardless ofwhat my what, they hype me up,
I'm going to win this fight.
And Harrison was like I'm goingto win this fight because I
know that she can't beat this.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's what I'm talking aboutthe Misha Tate, because Misha
Tate is a grappler before she'sa striker.
And at the end of the day sheknew, like, if I can't beat you
in the stand, I'm going to takeit down.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I have one question, though, about the
weights, though you know, ongetting in there for the ring,
how much do you think of that?
Could potentially be likestrategic water weight.
Oh, hell yeah Not drinkinggoing into a sweat.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Lodge the day before you know exactly what a weight
cut is.
It's 100% a science, yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
So technically you can either old school back then
it used to be you can.
Actually, the day that youweigh in is the day that it
actually shows your true weight.
The UFC changed that.
Now it's the day before.
So they weigh technically.
When they show their weigh-insit's not their true weigh-ins.
They literally are weighed inbefore, before they actually get
on the scale.
(29:48):
So there's a science to it.
You weigh in, there's electriclights, there's all kinds of
other stuff.
They got to get tested Becausea lot of times people can cheat,
they can cheat.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
So you're saying there's two different ones,
there's like the day before andthen that day after, and they
compare the weights.
I think the day.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
So technically what I found out?
That like when they do theweigh-ins it's not the day of
the weigh-ins.
It's the day before.
It's the day before.
Yeah, and then.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Sometimes it's shocking when you find out, and
so particularly for her andagain I'm not taking away from
her win, but I do like her and Ithink that she's great for the
sport.
I'm just saying, the day afterthey were like she gained
20-some-odd pounds.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Is that okay, and usually that's a conversation
they allow men to kind of getaway with that.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
But, now of course it's women.
That's the conversation.
They allow men to kind of getaway with that.
But now of course you know it'swomen.
And, as you know, dana Whitehad a limit why he didn't have
cyborgs fight?
Because he didn't want to goabove like 135, 145.
She couldn't get in there.
And so now he's beingoppressive and allow larger
weights or larger women tocompete.
But he wouldn't do that before,right.
(30:56):
So remember, ronda Rousey alsoused to be very skinny, right.
So anyway, next fight.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
No.
So it's weird because againback in the day, it's like the
day you weigh in is the day youtrue weight, right?
So then there'll be fightersliterally going in the sauna
just to lose that last pound,whatever.
They don't do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I was just about to say that I was like I used to
remember, at least somewhatrecently, that guys would weigh
in and if they didn't makeweight they would have to go
back and do it, and then theywould come back out a couple
hours later and then make weightand then try to make weight
again.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
They had to take off their clothes to to be on the
scale.
At the time, you remember, theyused to hold up a towel daniel
cormier.
It was the craziest and actuallythat's why I think I felt the
truest, because again, when thathappened, your body changes
because the night before that'sthe night before, so that your
truest uh performance will beokay.
(31:55):
The way of you changing your uh, when you lost weight the day
and then you fought the next day, you have two days of recovery
now.
So again you're bulking up tothe point of, like you said, you
can eat like anything you wantafter you weigh in the day,
before you actually weigh in.
So that's why they're like 20pounds really over.
So now you're comfortable.
(32:15):
You pooped everything out,whatever.
No, straight up.
Like I've literally seen it andit's the crazy thing, that's
what I'm saying.
Like they do the poop.
You've seen the poop.
Right, I've seen the poop.
Yeah, the poop was literally,it was yeah anyway, but that's
what I'm saying.
Like the politics of it,because they have to make it
look like it's a legit thing,but it's not damn yeah, that's
(32:37):
crazy.
I didn't know that though no,it's, it's politics to it.
Don't, don't, don't get ittwisted, all right, um with any
anything else.
Everybody I actually do youknow what's so funny?
Not to cut you off, I want totalk about the holloway joint
real quick.
That shit was fucking epic.
That shit fucking was real.
Like honestly, even though Ididn't, I didn't vote, I lost
(32:58):
that shit.
Okay, I didn't.
But the thing about the reasonwhy I lost it because holloway
hasn't been doing anythinglately, until just this recently
he's been like people beenscared of him, like scared of
some standing toe-to-toe, andthat's the reason why I'm pissed
.
That's why I voted to,obviously, because I'm thinking
jake geishi was going to prettymuch do what the typical UFC
(33:22):
people like I'm going to win thefight and stay away in the
strike right and when he startedright for the last 10 seconds.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yeah, and just got whaled at Yo not whaled.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
No, he got punished.
Like it was literally likestraight up like a movie, like
it was like Easy.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
No, I mean, I said it before, I'll say it again Max
is the best boxer in the UFC.
He was going.
Sometimes it's not really allabout knocking somebody out and
having all that power.
It was about straight up.
It's about sometimes when youjust hit people more times than
(34:03):
they hit you and you just hitthem a bunch of times I don't
think it was that to a certainto an end of it.
It just becomes a a combinationof just getting rocked the
entire time.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
I felt different with that.
I think holloway, his skill, helike you know how.
Okay again, I guess it's comingfrom experience.
If I know my confidence thatthis right like A-Train will
know If you know this right handis going to knock you out and
you know I just need to connectthis one right hand.
If I stand toe-to-toe, if thisright hand connects I'm going to
(34:37):
knock you out.
Holloway knew that.
Like he knew, stand right hereand I guarantee I'm going to
knock you out.
That's what he knew.
The last 10 seconds who gamblesat 10 seconds to knock somebody
out?
Speaker 6 (34:48):
He knew, Like Holloway, he does it all the
time.
Was that your Tiffany?
Was that your?
Speaker 3 (34:53):
pick, I chose.
Gitche probably because he hasthe most best blend of styles.
There is something that Iforgot about.
I have my little notebook um ofwhat happened, fight analysis.
But for the striking coachgentleman here, I remembered
that gaethje got eye poked twicenow in your guys's experience,
(35:15):
yes, the fight did continue, buthow much do you think this
rattled gaethje?
None his game.
You don't think so?
Why is?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
that, because again you would know His nose was
broken in the first it doesn'tmatter.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Your adrenaline is pumping so much that it doesn't
matter if you get eye poked.
If you're really that injured,you will stop the fight or you
will give your fourth fiveminutes if you're really that
bad.
Gaethje knew he's a scrapper.
Any scrapper is going to belike all right, I got eye poke,
but I have another eye.
Do you understand?
I love that.
(35:47):
I love that.
No, no, straight up, like if Iwas.
I grew up that way.
Like like if I have a, if my,if my left arm got dislocated.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I I understand that.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
No, don't Like.
There's certain people that arelike, built different, like
that.
Yes, they will like.
If I got dislocated, my arm gotdislocated in a fight, actually
, in my fight my hip gotdislocated in that fight.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
You can use the other hip.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
Is that what they tell the senior citizens?
Speaker 3 (36:18):
before they press the lifeblood, all right.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
So this is coming from non-fighters and
motherfuckers.
So the thing about it is it's adifferent beast.
You have to push throughwhatever you need to do and
again he's not going to quit andsay, okay, I'm going to take on
the.
He's like alright, let's go,I'm a scrapper.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
His nose was broken in the first round.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
So he's obviously a scrapper.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
But the idea behind it is he got his nose broken in
the first and then got his facebeat up for the rest of the
fight, until the last 10 seconds.
He told Gaethje meet me in themiddle.
Gaethje met him there and heput his ass to sleep.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Okay, okay, guess what?
Did he walk away or did hestand in front, like this is?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
people.
They both walk towards thecenter.
They knew they wanted a goodfinish.
No, no.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Holloway is a better fighter.
Only it comes to that.
But I'm just saying and hemoved up in weight yeah, but he
didn't the thing about Gaethjedid not like back down like what
normal people do he was thebigger man.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
Okay, but he's the bigger guy.
He's a stronger guy.
He has the best better skillsets overall.
But he's the bigger guy, he's astronger guy.
He has the best better skillsets overall but he's had his
night, he's had his lights putout and max hasn't, as you
mentioned, between the eye pokes, which were not direct eye
pokes, because there's adifference between a person
trying to grab you and I pokeyou, versus someone giving a
(37:38):
finger jab and those.
That's.
That was a jumping back fist,jumping back kick, right, we've
seen people who think that, uh,joe rogan is the best fighter
ever and guess what?
That's one of his kicks, right?
So we know that a jumping backkick or a back kick, is a
powerful kick.
He broke his nose, probablybroke his face, probably broke
his eye socket when he hit himwith that shot and that pretty
(38:00):
much was downhill for them.
So you notice not just that hewalked in and punched in what
it's that, where was theirtakedown?
Where was the grappling?
Where was the kicking?
Speaker 1 (38:12):
it was all the championship.
There was going to be notakedowns.
All those men were going tostand there and scrap, had he?
Speaker 6 (38:18):
did not display them, and so it was an intelligent
pick, I think, to pick Gaethje,based on all that he has, versus
Holloway, who primarily is aboxer, and he will tell you I'm
the best, I have the best handsand it's like, yeah, but hands
is not all there is to this game.
But those two gentlemen weregoing to fight that only fight
(38:38):
him with hands and literally he,he said, come to the center,
probably not saying I know I'mgoing to knock you out, because
he doesn't knock people out, hewears you down because he's a
volume fighter, a volume puncher, exactly.
But what's his name?
Obliged him, walked in thereand paid the consequences,
alright.
Speaker 5 (38:58):
So anything else Okay we're done with that, okay.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Ace, you won with that.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
Okay, we're done with that Okay.
You won you won with that, allright.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
I know I did.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
It's so funny.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
He's literally like y'all was John like
disrespecting my man.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Just like he ain't got the power, he ain't got this
.
He ain't got that no, not youCause you, he ain't got that no,
not you.
No, Because you didn't giveyour pick that way.
But I'm saying these guys werein here like he ain't got the
power, he don't hit hard enough.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
He don't do this, he don't do that, and they always
talk about how a knockout is theonly thing that you should do
in a fight.
You can't just volume a personto death and Max did both.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
All right, so anybody and Max did both.
All right, so anybody else?
Shout out to Max Holloway,anybody else?
You want to talk about Jamaland Alex Pierre?
What are you talking about?
We talked more about the actualmain event.
Speaker 6 (39:50):
Let me ask a question , tiffany.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
What do you think about the Alex fight?
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Yes, the Alex fight.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Yeah, oh.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Alex Pereira versus Hill oh my God, oh my God.
Oh, my God.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
Exactly what happened there.
What's your narration?
What's your assessment?
What's?
Speaker 3 (40:13):
your analysis.
Oh my gosh, that's a lot ofpressure, nah.
Speaker 5 (40:17):
So what do you feel like?
So, before the fight started,what did you think that Hill?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Why did you pick Pereira?
Speaker 3 (40:27):
He's just the better fighter.
He's just the better kickboxer,but it's.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
MMA, it's MMA, so you can't say the better.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Yes, you can.
If you know two people aregoing to stand there and fight,
you don't have to worry about itthe reason why Hill was in that
fight and competitive becausehe was knocking people out.
Speaker 6 (40:45):
It's the last bunch of fights he was knocking people
out, cold, shocking the world,knocking people out.
Now the issue was and I thinkyou had mentioned it at some
point was that Hill was off fora while, right?
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Yeah, I actually wrote this as one of my reasons
I chose Pereira, because Hilljust had an Achilles tendon
injury last year and that couldbe a really big game changer.
That changes how you grapple,that changes how you strike.
So there's just a lot ofdisadvantages.
People say like, oh, everythingis fine, I'll recover, but in a
(41:18):
big fight like this against you, know, they're big boys.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I actually forgot about that.
I may have went the other wayif I were to remember that, but
I, like I said, I'm still youwent black.
It was short, I'm rooting foreverybody.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
Black baby, he's the men in black shout out to my
chem folk.
Speaker 6 (41:38):
but I'll add the other piece is that Jamal beat
Glover Texera, who is Alex'scoach, and so between that and
the fact that he was dissingAlex and his country right, his
nation he went hard.
He went so hard at that for ashort notice, like you're
already at disadvantage, becauseshort notice that means you
(41:58):
didn't have a full camp inpreparation and Alex you know, I
think what was so beautifulabout that finish was he got
kicked in the groin.
He waves the referee off andsaid no, I got this, I got this.
And he just stepped forward andcrushed him.
One shot right, one shot, onekill.
You just can't have more hestepped on his foot.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Beautiful technique, I guess, if you you know as a
fighter.
He stepped on his foot.
Beautiful technique, I guess,as a fighter.
But he stepped on his foot andthen knocked him the fuck out.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
Well, you know what you can miss stepping on the
foot.
So I'm not sure how strategicthat could be.
It's helpful for sure, but noteverybody is skillful enough to
always step on someone's foot.
I think the point is that hewalked through fire, he took
some shots and he was so laserfocused on breaking this guy
down.
And that is beauty, becausesometimes it's skill, sometimes
(42:52):
it's heart, sometimes it'sdesire, sometimes it's will.
And one thing that made to methis whole UFC card exciting is
that you saw elements of that indifferent fights.
Some people who were skillfulwon and some just had the will
Right.
They just had the desire, theyjust were hungry, and so I think
(43:14):
you like, I think any fan offighting likes all those
narratives and they enjoy it.
So overall, I think it was oneof the best UFC fights, probably
ever right.
In terms of competition andeven results.
Speaker 5 (43:29):
All right, well, again, we can keep going and
going about this, whatever, butwe're pretty much past that time
.
Let's have any closing remarksor any feelings y'all have to
talk about.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
I pick better than the coaches.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
Well, I think, I think that's not true.
To be fair, if, if, if likecoaches, do that.
Speaker 5 (43:52):
Hey, train, we'll do better next time you better.
Speaker 6 (43:54):
No see, coaching is about coaching.
Right, fighting is aboutfighting.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
And picking is about picking, and I pick better than
the coaches.
I ain't coach better than thecoaches.
Exactly, I coach better thanthe coaches.
No, you don't fight better thanthe fighters.
Well, I pick better than thecoaches.
Speaker 6 (44:07):
That's what I did definitely can do fighting
anytime, anywhere, any place,anyone and I'm always ready for
that, for sure, when it comes topicking for people it's just
for the patreon members.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
I don't know.
I think people would want towatch that.
Speaker 6 (44:21):
People would want to bet.
It's just for the Patreonmembers when it comes to
coaching and analyzing and allthat stuff.
I think that's what people wantto hear.
Yeah, right, because that's notalways done.
You can get on the internet andhear everyone's personal
opinion because of one reason oranother, but in terms of
(44:44):
understanding why a fightermight be motivated, or even, as
Tiffany mentioned, kalerpracticed that move right.
We saw the same thing when wesaw Jon Jones' last fight right
against I can't remember theFrenchman.
He did that move over and overagain and within seconds he used
that and finished that fight.
So that's what we want to see.
(45:05):
I think that's what fans wantto see and want to hear.
That's my final word.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Thank you, hey guys, we're going to do better next
time.
Tiffany, thank you for joiningus.
Speaker 5 (45:19):
Definitely we'll get better and we'll be better.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
You know what I'm saying and follow my pics.
If you want to win some money,all right, I'll let you all have
peace.
Speaker 5 (45:31):
Dmv Peace Cheers.
