Speaker 2 (01:28):
Let's go all right, guys, we just wrapped you FC
three thirteen.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
There's a new light heavyweight champion and it's Maco mat
On Kalaiah. Alex Ferrera got beat and honestly, guys, I
was calling the fights and.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Kind of I mean we.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
We as a commentators and as human beings.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
You watched these fights with the anticipation.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
That something else may happen, that something may change. But
reality is, it wasn't. It was never going to change.
It was always gonna be magamunt un Caliath. With the
way that it was going, he was winning the fight,
and it was kind of hard to give him the
credit that he deserved, just because we have seen Perera.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
On so many occasions flip a fight. Guys.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
This is two fights in a row and we have
seen whole time kind of losing tonight, he wasn't able
to work himself back into the fight. Magamont un Caliath
fought a beautiful fight in honesty. Perrera landed a few
jabs and rond foby Land did a nice head kick,
but the vast majority of the fight it was Magemont

(02:47):
un Calive pressuring him able to land shots.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Maybe not big shots, but land shots and fighting very
competitively on the feet.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I believe that the reason he was able to fight
him so well on the feet, though, is because is
because he he has that threat of the wrestling, and
when you have that threat of the wrestling, it makes
you a much harder person to deal with.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
That was actually crazy.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Surprising that that happened that normally never happens when I'm.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Doing these.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Pressure Pace wasn't able to secure the takedowns like we
thought he might, so on that front, Alex Prera was
much better than we thought. He defended eleven of eleven
takedowns for Maga mont An Calive, every level changing matched.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Every time he got to his legs, he was able
to change a position. But what happened was.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Uncle Ive was unwilling to take a backstep, and by
being unwilling to take a backstep, he really did put
the champion pole Aton in some rough positions. You know
what tonight showed and you heard the urgency in the
corner of Alex Perera.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Tonight showed that he's just not as.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Good when he has to go backwards. Still a good fighter,
he was still in the fight but uh Unclive had
more successfull we anticipated because he was able to implement
that game plan. John Nix said going into round five,
it could be three to one on Caliath, it could
be two to two. It would be hard for me
to imagine a card that Perera was up three to one,

(04:21):
and I was like, I think it's two to two.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
I was wrong. It was three to one on Uncliath
because Perera won the.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Fifth round, and he won it pretty convincingly, probably had
his best round of the fight outside a round one.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
But what's next?

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Right when you have a champion like full Time who
has as many title defenses as he had, I think three.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'm over here trying to ask for some help.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I believe he earned a title fight again, a rematch,
just because there really is no clear person as to
who should fight Maglemann and caliv right now. I think
these guys should fight again because I believe that both
would fight better. Both would fight better if they had
to fight each other again. I think that it could
be another fun fight. You know, wrestling is much more

(05:12):
than just takedowns. Wrestling is the clinch. Wrestling is holding
someone against the octagon side. Wrestling is forcing a man
to be in a position that he doesn't want to be.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's not an easy thing to do. When elect Perrero.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Wants to get off the octagon side. He's big and
strong enough to get off the octagon side unless he's
fighting against Magaman on Calliable.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I think on Caliath.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Would probably respect the wrestling of Perrero more going into
a rematch, So he made change his approach a little bit,
But ultimately he thought a wonderful fight and showed that
he was not wrong in saying I could stand with
him because he did have to stay for twenty five
minutes against the most danger striker in the UFC possibly
UFC history, and he came out as the champion.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
But I want to see a rematch between these two.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
I don't see anyone else that should be fighting Maga
Manon Kalia for that belt, but Pooton alects Barrera.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
The Colemine event, Justin Gaichee got it done against Rabbie Elbazid.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
There were a lot of.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Questions as to was Justin Gaichee different after getting knocked out.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
In the way that he did. Could Justin Gaegee fight
in the same.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Way that he used to after getting knocked out by
Max Holloway, what would be the lasting effects of being
on the receiving.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
End of one of the nastiest knockouts we've seen in
a long time. There weren't any.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
He fought beautifully. He was much more smart, he was
much more measured. He didn't take as many chances early
as we might have expected in prior Gai chee fights,
But in terms of the way he operated in there,
in terms of his ability to take a punch, in
terms of him being able to make adjustments, be able

(06:58):
to manure and changed the way he was fighting, it
was wonderful. I love when jg went to that color
upper cut. That was one of my favorite combinations. That
was one of the punches I used more than anything
I did inside the octagon. Get the call of tie,
throw the upper cout with the right hand, justin dropped

(07:20):
Ralphai eelcas Eve with that, and from that moment it
became difficult for Psive to get him because he started
round three.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Very well, but then Gates just kept pouring it on.
Man kept pouring it on.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
You know, for a guy that's given so much to
mixed martial arts, so much to the fans. It was
nice to see Justin Gagee get a victory in a
big spot over a very.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Tough rafeelpasive who also.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Deserves credit because he took that fight on very short
notice and he had the greatest accounting of himself. He
lost nothing tonight by losing this fight. He just showed
that he is as good as anyone in the world,
and he's gonna remain as good as anyone in the world.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
So hats off to Justin Gaetchee for what was a
tremendous performance.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
And Rapa yelpazive because it takes two to tango. It
takes two guys or two women to make for a
truly special fight, and tonight we got that which he
knows two. Ignacio Obaha Mondez, first fight in the top fifteen,
submits Jalen Turner.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
It was wonderful. I thought that I would see a
striking fight.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Bahamundees gets taken down or at least falls to the ground,
gets a triangle and submits Jalen Turner, who was going
to retire. They were gonna give him an interview, but
his coaches were trying to convince him not to retire.
John Annick said that after the fight, Jalen was retiring
to take his gloves off. I don't know what's gonna
come of that. I hope Jalen Turner isn't done. He's

(08:54):
a young guy that still has a lot to offer
mixed martial arts. But great job, Ignacio Bajamandez. He is
now going to be ranking the top fifteen, and deservedly so.
Mauricio Rufie, Oh my god, dude, he hit King Green
with one of the nastiest fitting attacks I've.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Ever seen, hit him right on the temple.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
King Green goes face down, no follow up shots necessary,
food fight over that shit was tremendous. This dude, Mauricio
Rufie is something else.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Dude. He's very tough to deal with.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
He's gonna be hard to beat for a lot of guys,
and he should be very proud of the performance that
he had tonight. The fighting nerds are on fire, guys,
and it does not seem like this is gonna be
slowing down his miles. That's going back and forth a
number of time. There go my boy right there. Hey,
Joshua Van with a big win over Rea. Tatsuya Bruno
pereda submitting armand Petrojian.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
That was nice, yo, Carlos Lee, I'll beat the crap
out of Alex Marono.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
I haven't seen Rono go beat that bad a number
of occasions.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
He doesn't do that. He doesn't get beat at bad.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
His style is too difficult to deal with for him
to just get washed out like that.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Carlos Leal washed him out.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Myron Santos and Francis Marshall was a bad decision. This
was a bad decision, and I don't really care what
anyone thinks if it wasn't. It was a bad decision
and that should not have happened. Ozzi Diaz and Jordan
Santo's had a great fight start tonight.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
They really did kind of get us in line from
what we were going to have.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Ufccrete thirteen turned out to be a fantastic fight a
night and I'm so lucky to be a part of it. Guys,
we have a new champ at light heavyweight. Lex Perera
went down, but hey, this is the best fighting organization
in the world and it is littered the guys that
can be anyone on any given day. Tonight proved to
be michaelmann Eliav's night as he becomes the UFC champion

(10:54):
at light heavyweight. So hats off to all the winners.
