SPEAKER_00 (00:01):
Late in LA, the fight tap in there, the fight,
UFC 320.
Let's get into it, bro.
Chama, chumma, chumma, chumma,chumma, chumma.
I'm not going back to the tireshop, dickhead.
Anyway, UFC 320, the fight.
This is one of the best cardsI've seen this year.
(00:23):
And I feel like I'm saying thisshit every week, but it's just
that good.
UFC boxing, BKFC last Saturdaywas amazing.
People don't understand.
I love when the cards are atdifferent times.
I'm gonna watch the prelims,flick over to BKFC, flick over
to boxing.
(00:44):
I got three TVs going in myhouse.
It's just violence.
Anyway, back to the violence.
We got Joe Piper opening up witha banger, gets the rare naked
choke, round two.
He used his hands and he usedring control.
Like people were doubting if hecould deal with a graffler.
(01:05):
He didn't just deal with him, hechoked him out.
Shout out to Joe Piper, he's agreat fighter.
Obviously, I don't agree witheverything he says, but who
gives a fuck, bro?
Shout out to him, shout out tothis win.
This is a great card, and itjust gets better.
Next fight is Josh Emmett versusYusuf Zalau.
Zalau, oh my god.
(01:27):
People were talking shit aboutthis guy because he played a
safe against somebody and heprotected himself.
And we just saw what happenswhen you go out there trying to
do damage without a plan.
Now, Josh Emmett had atremendous, tremendous training
camp.
I was actually rooting for himin this matchup.
(01:49):
I thought he would touch him.
I think he was more experienced.
I think he is used to thislimelight in the UFC.
But when the lights was on,Zalau performed.
He got the sub in round one,armbar, verbal tap, let it go.
It was crazy.
(02:09):
And I'm really glad that we'reseeing what happens, right, as
these older fighters fight theseupgraded fighters.
Like that guy, Zalau is goodeverywhere.
I would say great everywhere.
He could have won this fightjust on his bike and kick it
from the outside.
(02:30):
He could have won this with justa striker.
He could have run this with justwrestling.
He's a very well versed fighter.
And I'm very excited for hisfeature.
Now, getting into the Coco mainevent, because Yuri versus
Khalil Roundtree was damn sureanother main event level fight.
(02:50):
It was crazy.
It was insane.
I was literally screaming at theTV at Yuri at Khalil Roundtree
all the way until round three.
Because I knew if he didn't geton his bike and he didn't
protect himself and he didn'tstart fighting from the outside
because a lot of this fight,they would be crashes, crashes,
(03:13):
collisions, and hard counters,but not a lot of distance
management between the fighters.
I feel like Yuri was coming in,Khalil was countering, but he
wasn't creating space.
He wasn't setting most thingsup.
Neither one of those guys do,though.
They were throwing like they'retrying to put each other out.
(03:36):
And Yuri gets the win afterbeing down two rounds.
Two rounds.
He's down too.
Khalil could have won thatfight.
So a stock doesn't go down.
I say put him in there withanother striker.
Keep the light heavyweightdivision popping because it's
crazy right now.
(03:56):
We're gonna get to the mainevent, but we gotta talk about
the co-main event.
Mara, the machine, he's vicious,bro.
He doesn't stop, can't stop,won't stop.
No did he though.
Anyway, he took him down, Ithink at least 20 plus times.
(04:16):
If you don't think seeingsomeone be controlled that way
isn't one of the most dominantforms of using martial arts in a
combat scenario, I'm sorry,you're in the wrong sport.
And it's okay.
We have BKLC that weekend too.
We got boxing this weekend.
It's okay not to like certainaspects of a fighter or
(04:37):
fighting, but don't bitch aboutit when you know what it's
about.
I'm not gonna bitch about a jabin boxing, I'm not gonna bitch
about a kick in judo.
It's a part of the fuckingsports.
Now, he dog worked, he dogwalked Corey Sandhagen for five
rounds.
I think in round one, I'm prettysure that was his best round for
Corey.
And then round two, he chinnedhim.
(04:59):
He did damage with his hands,feet, and his wrestling.
He's a full-fledged fighter, andwhat's scary about Marab, he was
a working champion, so he had todevelop his skills later.
He's just now developing hisskill set.
It was a lot of heart, pride,and his background that got him
(05:21):
to this point.
And Aljo, and his team, youknow, shout out everybody on
that team because those guys doa lot of great work together,
and I'm proud of their uhbrotherhood, their solidarity,
and you know, making money thecorrect way because you can make
money, but if you make it thewrong way, you're gonna feel it.
(05:41):
So, shout out to those guys,shout out to Marab.
He's a dominant champion.
I don't know who beats him.
We will see.
Now, Alex Pierre came out hereand put Belta S.
Listen, you cannot have yourpromoters talking shit.
You are inspiring otherfighters.
You can't inspire these guys.
When they get inspired, they putpeople to sleep, and that's what
(06:04):
he did.
He put Unkaliev to sleep.
Brown one, TKO, they stopped thefight.
He could not continue, he couldnot defend himself.
He talked a lot of shit.
Him and his team.
I hope they never give him arematch because Pereira lost the
(06:24):
belt, but it wasn't like he gotbeat.
He got two out of those fiverounds.
He got beat on the scorecards,but his face was good, his body
was everybody, everything elseis good.
You gotta go see if everything'salright after this fight because
he took damage, and this is whatmatters in the UFC.
Damage.
(06:45):
I can't wait to see what AlexPrayer does.
If he goes up to heavyweight, hecan fuck up a lot of those guys.
They're only strikers, the onlypeople he can't beat are people
who are high-level grapplers.
I don't like he can go do it, hecan go fight John Jones.
He's gonna get taken down.
If Cyril Gunn can't keep JohnJones off of him and he's that
(07:05):
big and has that much weight,muscle, and height.
Fuck no.
Because I I bro, I'll give youmy right hand if you say Alex
Pereira is more athletic thanCyril Gunn, especially when John
Jones fought.
Don't forget Cyril Gunn's tearbefore he lost to John Jones.
Don't forget that.
(07:26):
And John Jones is stilltraining, he's getting ready.
If Tom Espinall defends hisbelt, then he can argue, then he
can get in line to fightPereira.
But if you are undefined chant,please, please defend your belt
before you talk shit, man.
(07:46):
Because if you talk shit andlose your belt right after that,
it's silly.
It's silly.
You look dumb, and now he's gota claw back from that image, and
people are already shitting onhim.
People said they need to tradehim because he wasn't, you know,
bringing in enough eyes andviewers.
So even though he lost, shoutout to Okaloff.
He is a tremendous fighter.
(08:07):
He did beat Alex Prayer.
So he is one of one.
He just got to get back in thelab.
Shout out to Alex Prayer, man.
You put belt to ass though, bro.
Chama, chama, chama.
The fight tapping in chama.
Late in LA, the fight tap in there, the fight,
UFC 320.
Let's get into it, bro.
Chama, chumma, chumma, chumma,chumma, chumma.
I'm not going back to the tireshop, dickhead.
Anyway, UFC 320, the fight.
This is one of the best cardsI've seen this year.
