Speaker 1 (00:01):
The volume.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
All right, guys, UFC three to twelve has just wrapped.
Look at my head. It is so hot in Sydney, Australia.
It's crazy. I know.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
We always say like the heat of the octagon is
gonna be crazy tonight. It's hot in the octagon and
it was so hot in Sydney this week. But it
was an amazing fight week. The fans in Australia are
really amazing. They really do top just about any fans
anywhere around the world with their passion for mixed martial arts.

(00:41):
The boy Midles got me a fan. Unfortunately, the fan says,
you'll never walk alone because the guy loves Liverpool. Who
loves Liverpool? I mean, that's so whacked to be such
a front runner. But the fans love love mixed martial arts.
And this weekend they got to watch greatness. Right, we
had two champions retain their championship. We'll get to both

(01:02):
of them, but we have to start with still Knox,
Drakes du plus C.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I mean, for so long, so many people.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Have spoken about this man, all the pundits, all the
talk he heads have told you why he isn't as
good as he has proven to be. Time and time
again me being one of those guys and he having
to answer for that, and he having to talk to.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Dracs about it. I'm done questioning him.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
I'm done ever saying that what he does isn't what's
done by the best fighter in the world, because he
is proving over and over again that he is.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Just as he goes into this fight with Sean Strap.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
A rematch against a guy that fought him very competitive
the first time that they fought, he not only wins
the fight, he wins the fight more oppressive.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
In won every single round over Sean Strickland.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Sean Strickland and his teams recognized and understand that they
couldn't have close rounds. But the way Duples fights makes
you fight him the way that he wants to fight.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
He makes you stop.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
He makes you wait because when you try to attack him,
he's so good at changing speed, changing direction, is you
from odd angles that you can't really get a beat
on him. He went out there tonight and honestly, the
only truly competitive robles round one, and I thought that
Duplessi won that with a late explosion that won him

(02:34):
the round wrong two. He continues to press, continues to
get better. He's up to zero, and he's up to
zero pretty convincedly. Round three, he keeps doing what Dracus
does right. He gets forward and he's very active.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I think that's the one thing that Dracus doesn't give
enough credit for. He's so active.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Even if he's throwing kicks, he's doing something and making
you judge that. I thought for sure he was gonna
have to wrestle Ward tonight, even when he said he
wasn't going to wrestle, I.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Didn't believe it. I thought that in order for him
to win this fight, he had to wrestle.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
He did. He got one take down and even in
the octa, and he told me afterwards he didn't plan
on getting that take down. Sean Strickland knew that he
needed to do more, but he never could get started.
Drakens Dupless sees the man in the octagon. He calls
out Alex Perera. I told Pereira after the fight, I go,

(03:31):
he wants you Perera. Perera goes, He's just too small. Seriously,
Perera goes, this man is just too small, you know.
So Alex is huge though, I mean he looked for
masterif com bart to Dracas and I love that Dracus
has these big goals. I just think that he still
has work to do at middleweight before he starts thinking
about going up jams at Jemaiah being problem number one.

(03:54):
I don't but watching Draks today, I don't know that
Jamaiah just drives across the mass takes him down. He's
so good at what he does. It feels like the
music's super loud. Knight right now posting a way to
use it. It seems loud right. Uh, He's a man,
Drake Is duples C is the man and once again

(04:15):
proved that this guy, it looks like it's gonna be
very difficult to get the belt off of him. I
know Tamaiah has a massive following. If people like him,
he's been dominant. I just don't know that he has
ever seen anyone like Dupless Even speaking of Dana of
the Octagon, we were talking about the greatness of dupless
C and how do you train for? Who can you

(04:38):
bring in that does the things that dukeles C does.
Duplus he throws fudges and kicks at the same come
and it works. He's a puzzle that has not been
solved in the UFC. He's gonna be very difficult to
get the belt off him. So congrats to Dragons Duples
his entire team for what was a dominant performance. Cominovit

(04:58):
John Wayleey once again proved why she's the best.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I mean, she dominated Tatiana Suarez.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
She went into that fight as a plus two forty underdog.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I don't know how.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Anyone bets against this woman when what she has put
on paper in terms of her resume, in terms of.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
The people she's beaten, in the way she has beaten him.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
I don't know how you make Jean Wayley that big
an underdog based on the fact that you believe that
she will not be able to defend takedowns against Tatiana Suarez.
Rose Domiunis took her down a few years ago and
held her down. But Rose domo Unis presents a very
very different striking threat than Tatiana Suarez presents. Rose dom

(05:50):
Unis also was a champion that had been in five
round fights. Tatiana Suarez showed unbelievable toughness. She is as
tough as any woman you will ever meet. Walk in
God's green her, but she got dominated way Lee heard
her on the feet. Way Lee took her down with
an inside trip. Wayey reversed composition when she got taken
out guys outside of the first two and a half

(06:12):
three minutes of the fight.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
When Tatiana got the first takedown.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
The moment she jumped at guillotine, her faith was sealed
because the rest of the time it was all Jeang
Wee Lee all the time. She is as good as
anyone I've ever seen, especially in female fighting. She now
has six UFC strawweight title wins. She ties you on
on J check when you wanted in J check, was
the champion. Nobody ever thought that anyone would do the
resume even close to what she did.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Jean Way Lee has already tied that.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Now it's a matter of how long she wants to
stay at that weight class before she goes up and
challenges Valentine and Chef Cheko to see if she can
only extend her resume and make it so big that
we'll never see anyone challenge what Jang Way Lee did,
not what you wanting on J check.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Did you know if she does decide to go up
to one to twenty five?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Sadly from an offior, I don't know that the organization
can deny.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
That a super fight between.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Way Lee and Valentina will be the only super fight
you truly can make it female fighting unless Amanda new
has come back to fight Kayla Harris. But Jean Waylee
versus Valentina Chefchenko truly is the most high level mixed
martial arts you can make it female fighting, and I
am waiting to see if at her post fight presser

(07:31):
she makes mention of wanting to go up to one
twenty five and challenge the flyweight champion, And if she does,
I think the.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
UFC should make it happen.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Third fight fight from the top, Talison to Shaer, one
minute finish of Justin tafa Oom elbow to the face,
fight done. Coppo's mad that they stopped it. I don't
have a problem with it. When you fall down like
that does not matter. You cannot go into that submissive
austure and think that a referee won't stop the fight.

(08:04):
Jake Matthews looked amazing. Gabriel Santo's That kid is good.
He's really really good. Kind of reminds me of a
young Charles Olavero. Tom Nolan A plus performance tonight won
kom I mean, how How do we get to walm
tom when her name is bell w A n GC NNG.

(08:26):
How are we getting the walm thon? I don't understand
that Alessandra, Thepooria big Win ROMs you and Cody Steel
was the best fighter the night. And I hope to
God these guys get fifty thousand dollars for fighters a night.
Mikaeloff way better than I gave him credit for in
the film. I really was of the belief that he
was not very good. He's better than I thought. Makaylaw

(08:46):
Mikayla is his name, and uh hats off to Quillen Sucklin.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
This guy had a nineteen second knockout to start tonight.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
It was an amazing night. It was an amazing week
from city. But the night or the afternoon belongs to
Drinkings Du plus c and Jiangwai Lee. What performance is
by the sitting champions? Guys remember stick wrong. I'm gonna
talk to Jeangue Lee's coaches. I'm also gonna go and
try to find Drinkings Du plus C's coaches for a
