We love you, guys, We've missed you. Okay you have

(01:30):
C three to Zho five is a rap, you guys
know what it is. Miles in the back breaking down
the stage as always, and once again we are finishing
the show with a middleweight championship fight, and the man
standing at the top of the mountain is drink is
dupe us seeing. You know, he fought one of the
greatest middleweights of all time in Israel at Asannya tonight,

(01:51):
A motivated at Assignya, a prepared at Asignya, and he
got the job done.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
You know, first two rounds very close, Bud, the.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Judge scored him for dupless c Edison, you got round
three running forward. Seemed like Izzie was starting to build.
It seemed like he had some momentum. But as we
have seen time and time again with DDP, he doesn't
quit on himself. You know, he doesn't worry that he
can't get the job done. You know, his ability to

(02:21):
strike with Edisanya should be commended. He was out there
fighting against a high level kickboxer, but he's a high
level kickboxer. He was out there being frustrated at times,
but he never lost that desire to continue to press
an attack. You know, watching him, and I'm telling you

(02:42):
right now myself, I was not the biggest believer of
drink's dupless, But as I watch him and talk to
Dominic Cruz, who was very smart, and dominic Cruz was
the guy that had a little bit of a different
style himself, you start to go, hey, man, it might
not look like everybody else. That doesn't mean it's not right. Right.
He might cross his feet when drinks dupless, se lands,

(03:05):
bunches a lot of times. He doesn't even have two
feet on the ground he's lunching and running that much.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
But what he does have is a style that works
for him.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
He's got a style that works for him. You can't
question something that's that successful. That's allowed him to become
the champion of the world. You know, earlier in the
week when I sat down with him, he spoke about
finishing Israel ed Asigny. I think he might have said
second or the third round. It went into the fourth
round and it seemed as though EDISONI was starting to
take the momentum from them.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Didn't matter, he was able to adjust.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
He was able to go find the takedown that he
needed in that round to break up is He's momentum.
And then when he got that takedown, he went right
back to the position that he got to in the
second round where we thought, oh my goodness, he might
have him. But Edisoni was able to successfully defend in
the second round. Dracus had that choke almost as tight

(04:00):
as he got it in the fourth, but he was
a little bit off to the side. He wasn't flat
on Edisanya's back. In the fourth round when he was
able to flatten a Asanya down, he was right on
his back. So when he got to the choke, there
was no way that is he could rotate back to
his back to get out of that very naked choke.
You know, he landed a left hand that started the

(04:23):
beginning of the end for Edisonia. This guy's good. He's
really really good, and he leaves you almost for a
loss of words, because I talk to people in fighting
and they go, well, how is he so good? I go,
he can fight, man. He has mastered a style for him.
He's in great shape. He hits extremely hard his left

(04:46):
leg and lead leg. He can kick from anywhere, and
he's confident. He's one of those guys that in the
UF he got to teach him how to lose. He
hasn't lost here. He doesn't remember how to lose a fight.
So until someone it breaks him, he's gonna continue to
do what he does. And he must have a really
good chint because he takes some good shots for some

(05:06):
big punchers and he always kind of walks right through it.
He's massive for the way class. Drincus dupless C is
the real deal and he is the middleweight champion in
the world. This time of people start putting respect on
his name. It's time. He has now beaten three former champions.
He beat Sean Strickland, he beat Robert Whitaker, and now
he beat Israel Atasign. It's time to give this man
the respect that he deserves. Tonight, I think it goes

(05:29):
a long way and earning that. I think me and Drincus'
postfight interview might have been the longest post fight interview
I've ever done in my entire career. And why not
when you go and be the guy at is he
the way he did, you deserve to take your time.
So congratulations to drinkers, duples c man. That was phenomenal
watching a young man truly just really cross into a

(05:51):
level that is very, very hard to come by for
is He. You know, he fought a good fight and
it looked like he was starting to build momentum to
become a champion for the third time. But it wasn't
his night, he will openly tell you, and he said
it to me in my interview with him. He goes,
I am in the best shape of my life. I
am more prepared than I've ever been than He reaffirmed

(06:13):
it in the octagon and said I've never felt better.
You know, it looked like he was gonna retire because
he took his gloves off, but then he said, I
ain't going nowhere. I'm staying here. That's a tricky thing
for Edisanya because now he's got to go and fight
fights that would seem to mean less than anything he
has done for a really, really long time.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
You know, he.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Had fought twelve straight title fights. He has now lost
two title fights in a row. Won the Strickland, won
the Duke pleus se How long will it take him
to earn his way back to another championship opportunity. This
weight class is on fire. Though I know it's hard
whenever a long ranging champion goes away, but the state
that it's in today is as good as Middleway's been

(06:59):
for a long time. You got is He still there,
you got Rob Whitaker who's still there.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
You got hams out Jamayah who's still there.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
You got Sewan Stricklo' steel, and now we got a
left fera saying I went to if I became the champion,
but I never said I was not going back down
to one eighty five. That would be probably the most
worrisome thought for me as a contender at middleweight, but
it makes the division unbelievably fun. Uh. Steve ver Seg

(07:27):
and kay car Franz fought in the Cole main event.
Kay Carr Fronz has been going for a long time.
He's been going for a year, and you can see
how emotional he was after he won that fight. He
knocks out Steve ver Seg in the first round. I asked, Kai,
you are a flyweight man, you fight at one to
twenty five, how do you have twelve first round finishes?
He believes in himself. He believes in himself. He believes

(07:49):
in the power and he has shown time and time
again that he can beat anyone, and tonight he did
something that the champion couldn't even do, and that will
stop Steve ver Sek. Big big night for kay car
France and a big reintroduction of him to the division, because.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
It's easy to think that it's easy to think that.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
People will forget about you when you've been going for
as long as Carl Franz has been gone, and we
have been looking for challenges for Maan Tojia. Maybe Carl
Fronx now puts himself right back on a short list
of people that can fight the champion. Dan Hooker mataals
Gan Rod fought in the thirty five from the Top
and it was one of the best fights I've seen

(08:32):
in a long time. I cannot believe how far Dan
Hooker has come. And two years two years ago, I
remember doing DC and RCEN with Ryan Clark and we
were talking about the reality of Dan Hooker's career and
how he might need to look at walking away because
he had lost. This guy shows back up with blonde hair,
a whole bunch of tattoos. He said, he unlocked customization

(08:53):
on the video game. He fights the number five guy
in the world, a guy who has tremendous wrestling, and
he does everything right to beat him. He's gritty, he's tough,
he's He's got a lot of belief now, and he
said he wants anybody. He called out Conor McGregor. He
called out so many different guys in that top five.

(09:13):
And when you fight the fight that he fought tonight,
while it might have thought or seemed impossible before, doesn't
seem as impossible anymore. It seems like Dan look can
get just about anything he wants now. I was talking
to Sean Shelby. He goes he is awesome, awesome watching
Dan Hooker amazing. Jorgino Rosen strike beat tied to a

(09:37):
vosin tonight and his classic Georgino Roses strike fight.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
It was good to watch too. Everyweights go at it.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Both guys are durable, but Jorzino was the one who
has the skills that allow for him to get another
big victory. Carlos protest guys. What he did to Lee
Jing Mean tonight was unbelievable. This kid really should be
on everybody's radar now. His striking is tremendous. His patience
is calm. He told us in the Fighter meeting, I

(10:04):
lost before because I was living in Thailand and I
would fight on the day's notice. I didn't care. I
was just trying to make money. He goes, Now I've
got a little money, I'm taking it more seriously. He
said he only started taking his career series in twenty
twenty one. Look at him today, he really does remind
me of a young Anderson Silva. That victory he had tonight,
it felt like when Anderson beat Chris Sleeve and the

(10:26):
guy that had been on for a really long time,
who had never been finished, and he just got truly
out classed. Protest is very very interesting. Walter Walker and
Junior Tafa. The submission. I've got messages now that stated
to me that a yell is a verbal submission. I
got it from referees, I got it from people that

(10:48):
just know the game. And I'm gonna read this to
you right now from Kevin Ioli. The Unified Rules says
that screams are considered a submission. I get it if
you're mad, if you're justin Tafa, but when you yell,
that's a submission. You cannot yell. You cannot yell. It
says there should be Let me read this see guys

(11:11):
before I get going, so that we understand it said
there should be a scoring of an incomplete run of
the referee penalizes either contestant, then the appropriate points shall
be deducted when the scorekeeper calculating final score for the
partial round. A verbal TapouT that's a submission by TapouT
when a contestant.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Physically uses hand to indicate that or share.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
No longer wishes to continue. Cannot scream. If you screamed
in the unified rules, the fight is over. So justin
TOPA may be mad, but it should not matter. The
screamed fight was done. It was a tremendous performance by
so many great fighters to night, but ultimately the night
belongs to drink as Duke les see and still the
middleweight champion of the world. Hey, the belt belonged to

(11:54):
South Africa. I love that those guys buried their beef
at the end, and you can tell that it was
always rooted in respect. But tonight the champs showed that
he is the champ and it's gonna be very hard
to get that belt off of him. Guys, I now
have twenty five hours back to the United States. I'm
gonna try to stay up all night so that i
can sleep on the plane.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
But I'm gonna tell you one thing, it was worth it.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
I am so happy I came all the way here
to watch this fight between these two great fighters. It
was amazing. Guys. Thank you again for all the support
and keep coming to me here right next to the
octagon for these post fight reaction videos. You guys want
to know what happens after the fights. And now everybody's
gone this huh. It's like VIP inside the octagon's photo

(12:37):
opportunities and everything for people. And as you guys know,
there's your favorite guy, Miles right there. Although he's a
Liverpool fan, I'm not gonna hold that much against him. Yeah.
I appreciating everyone to eat.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Until next time, guys, tell your friends that.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Dce's got a YouTube channel. I'm doing stuff like this. Peace.
