1
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.559
Broadcasting Live Good Evening, Blockhead Nation. I apologize for the delay.

2
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:36.240
Better late than never. You are listening to your favorite blockhead,

3
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.119
the only podcast in the podcasting world that can somehow

4
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.359
incorporate the Peanuts comic strip one minute and then be

5
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.799
talking about MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon the next.

6
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.119
I am your host. My name is Brian Little. I

7
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.359
thank you once again for coming by this little podcast.

8
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.840
If you are new to this show, let me guarantee

9
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.039
you the three things you are expecting to hear on

10
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.799
this show. Number one, God is King. Number two, Peanuts

11
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.879
is the single most successful comic strip in American history.

12
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.159
It's going to be hard, but it's gonna be very difficult.

13
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.640
You might be able to find them in other Peanuts communities,

14
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:14.159
but it's gonna be difficult to find someone who knows

15
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.439
more about the comic strip, the TV series, the animed movie,

16
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:22.319
the Charles Schultz Museum, more than this guy right here,

17
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.000
except one in particular that I will mention today. And third,

18
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.439
mixed martial arts is the greatest sport under God's hot sun.

19
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.120
You heard that right. Part one of this podcasts is

20
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:39.359
focused on the Peanuts. Part two is on my sport

21
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.719
I love the world of the UFC and other MMA organizations.

22
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.760
So if you are a sports fan, stick around for

23
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.239
part two. If you're just a fan of the Peanuts,

24
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:50.519
you have definitely come to the right place, even if

25
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.840
you want to just give this a try. I mentioned

26
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:59.200
somebody else who would probably be a bigger blockhead than

27
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:03.120
your favorite block and clearly that's a hat tip to

28
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.120
the numero uno blockhead, which would be Charlie Brown himself,

29
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.120
from the mind of one Charles Schultz, also known as Sparky.

30
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:18.400
But I'm also referring to the voice artist, the man

31
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:25.919
Peter Robbins. It's been three years, not exactly the anniversary,

32
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.560
but it is. We're taking a bit of a somber

33
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.800
turn here where the life of Peter Robbins, the voice

34
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.280
of the original Charlie Brown, has a dark cloud that

35
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.800
looms over it, mostly for the sake of what he

36
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:48.120
battled throughout his life. He battled by polar disease, he

37
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:55.719
battled paranoid schizophrenium, he battled alcoholism. As I understand, he

38
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.439
had other recreational drugs that he would use to mask

39
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.759
his pain and his depression. And one thing we cannot

40
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:13.560
do is continue with the stigma that mental health isn't necessary.

41
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:19.000
It is an absolute epidemic. And one example of that

42
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.199
is the life of Peter Robbins. So I can loosely

43
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.680
timeline it as you had the Charlie Brown Christmas Special,

44
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:33.120
you had Charlie Brown All Stars, you had a boy

45
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:36.719
named Charlie Brown by nineteen sixty eight nineteen sixty nine,

46
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.879
and Peter Robbins kind of stayed out of the limelight

47
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:47.000
for a long time. He went into real estate. Now,

48
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.680
the first time we see negative limelight on Peter Robbins

49
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.919
that I know of coming out of the California area

50
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.520
would be in twenty thirteen where his girlfriend. If I

51
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.800
can be a little bit careful of how I explain that,

52
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.960
just in case there are kids listening. Your children are

53
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.000
safe with me. But the way that it's depicted in

54
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.879
the news articles that I've stayed and researched is Peter

55
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:22.079
was not exactly thrilled with the plastic surgeon who put

56
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.680
breast implantations into his girlfriend that he felt like he

57
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.319
deserved a refund for that was done incorrectly or certainly

58
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:35.120
not adequate, and it led to him threatening his girlfriend,

59
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:40.759
leaving very violent voicemails to her and also to the

60
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:49.439
plastic surgeon, which resulted in him being arrested, and if

61
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.399
I'm understanding correctly, also the next time we heard about this,

62
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:56.680
even though he agreed to take anger management classes and

63
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:03.800
where he would curb his alcoholism and would seek other alternatives,

64
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.240
Peter re emerged in twenty fifteen to where he was

65
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.439
sentenced to four years in prison. It's on YouTube the

66
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.560
clip of him screaming at the judge and hoping that

67
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.000
the judge and I quote dies of a heart attack,

68
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:29.399
and uses a lot of profanities and obscenities. So it's

69
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:34.399
just a shame to see the man who was the

70
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.600
voice of such a beloved character is portraying himself in

71
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:46.040
this manner. You talk about night and day, and he

72
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:51.879
serves his time. But there is another tragedy that comes

73
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.519
out of twenty nineteen after he's released, is he re

74
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.600
embraces who he was as Charlie Brown and starts attending

75
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.319
comic cons. There's a reuniting of the whole original voice

76
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:11.360
actor's cast that's even on YouTube as well. That's mentioned

77
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.319
a few times in the Charles Sheltz Museum page. I

78
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.079
seeing a few times easy to find on Facebook and Instagram.

79
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:22.959
But Peter was doing an interview where he mentioned he

80
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:27.439
was going to release a book, and this is a

81
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:32.120
book that would have absolutely been on Blockhead's shelf. He

82
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.279
was going to release his story of all that he

83
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.600
went through through rehab, all the withdrawals, all of the

84
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.519
dark times that he had with his bipolar disease, the

85
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.959
person he became, and what he had to face while

86
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.279
he was in prison. He was going to share all

87
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:57.480
of that in a book called Confessions of a Blockhead. Now,

88
00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.759
I don't know about you, but just the title of

89
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:05.680
that just sings with excitement for me. Blockhead Nation, it

90
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.160
just does. It just jumps off the page at you.

91
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:16.079
Confessions of a Blockhead by Peter Robbins. We unfortunately never

92
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.920
got that because the darkness won him over in this

93
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.600
world in two thousand and two, I believe it was

94
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:31.040
in January, Peter Robbins took his own life. So there

95
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:37.240
will always be an empty space on this show. There

96
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.639
will always be an acknowledgment of Peter Robbins and his

97
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.839
accomplishments and all of the bright spots. There will always

98
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.720
be prayers that goes out to the family and there

99
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.519
will always be a hat tip of respect from this

100
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.720
podcaster because Peter Robbins is very much a part of

101
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.199
my life and my childhood, my growing up, and a

102
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:02.560
voice that I will never forget. It's so heartbreaking to

103
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.160
see the booms and the busts and to know that

104
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.120
we were not only deprived of him, but we were

105
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:14.240
also deprived of what could have been a masterpiece Confessions

106
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:19.600
of a Blockhead. Just think of the content creation that

107
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.759
I could have used just from reading excerpts from his book.

108
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:30.480
But we don't have that. So mental illness and mental health,

109
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.159
we cannot steer away from that blockad nation. If you

110
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.559
need another example that might hit a little bit closer

111
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.799
to home, if you are not exactly a fan of

112
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.200
the Peanuts as I am, I'll give you another one.

113
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:49.960
Jason from the Power Rangers. Yeah, the Green Ranger. We

114
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:54.080
were deprived of him not too long ago either. So

115
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.679
all of these nostalgic characters that were part of your

116
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.559
past and mine, and it's too late for us to

117
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:12.840
even intervene. It's a travesty to think about. So I

118
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:17.200
say this Blockhead nation, may it not be too late

119
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.200
if it means reconciliation. So be it whoever it is

120
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.600
that you need to let them know how much they

121
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:31.879
matter to where we slowly but surely start breaking the

122
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.360
stigma of not talking about mental health and addressing true

123
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:43.159
mental health. If it takes putting down the bottle, taking

124
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:49.120
it off your lips and hitting your knees and opening

125
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:54.360
the word, or at least reaching out and getting proper counseling,

126
00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:01.840
a licensed professional, some type of therapeutic healing that's needed

127
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.679
that's been talked about on this show. You remember right

128
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.200
with dan Usa, he's not a He will not steer

129
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:15.120
away from something like this. This cannot be a nord.

130
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:21.120
We've got to take action, even if that's just opening

131
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:26.440
up and talking or opening our ears and listening. That's

132
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:33.360
what it takes. But in lightheartedness, you'll also have snoopy

133
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.519
in the background that will antagonize and emulate everything you do,

134
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.240
just like he did with Lucy. He did this with

135
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.559
Charlie Brown. He certainly did with Lucy. If you remember

136
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:46.600
the Christmas episode, Can you Be a Sheep? Can you

137
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.320
be a Cow? Can you be a penguin? It takes

138
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.919
being a penguin to break the stigma of mental health

139
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.600
and then still be it but of course, as you

140
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:02.200
see that play that played out, you see Lucy trying

141
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.759
to say, listen to everyone, you got to take direction.

142
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:09.159
You got to have Snoopy in the back emulating everything

143
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:12.759
that she does. So that's a fun way to end

144
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:16.919
this out on a positive note. Listen everyone, you got

145
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.639
to take direction. You gotta have discipline, you gotta have

146
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.120
respect for your director. You have got to start giving

147
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.320
proper acknowledgment of Blockhead and all of his episodes that

148
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.519
come to you on a weekly basis without fail, just

149
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:53.120
to make sure you feel a little Our scripturean for

150
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:59.399
this podcast comes from the Second Corinthians, Chapter thirteen, verse eleven. Finally, bred,

151
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:06.039
be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind,

152
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.120
live in peace, and the God of love and peace

153
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:16.320
shall be with you. Jeremy camp has said in his

154
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.080
song there will be a day. I try to hold

155
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.960
onto this world with everything that I have, but I

156
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:22.960
feel the weight of what it brings and the hurt

157
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:26.840
that tries to grab the many trials that seem to

158
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:32.200
never end. His word declares this truth that we will

159
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.720
enter in this rest with wonders anew. But I hold

160
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.879
on to this hope and the promise that it brings

161
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:42.200
that there will be a place with no more suffering.

162
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:47.879
So as I start part two here, you had an

163
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.399
event coming at you at nick breaking speed last week,

164
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.519
which is really hard to follow up when you say

165
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:59.240
that this week in the Apex we got Kape versus

166
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:04.879
All My Ba. And again this is not a slide

167
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.240
on any of these guys. Trust me when I say

168
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.480
sometimes it can be difficult for me to look at

169
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:16.399
a Saturday night main card and go this looks on

170
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:21.240
the surface like a snoozefest. There's nobody that the main

171
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.600
public knows who they are. There's a few on here

172
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.960
that I recognize. I know a little bit about their

173
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:32.360
upcomings into whatever division that they're in. It's just harder

174
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.039
to defend. But that's the thing is, you can't sleep

175
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:41.159
on nights like this because sometimes performances of the year

176
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:47.799
can emerge. The Apex is where Joaquin Buckley shocked the world.

177
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.600
So when I just tell you that on the back

178
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.039
end of Capy versus Alma Bayev, I'll be looking at

179
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.200
the higher light reels. But I really had some breaking

180
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.440
news that happened this week that just I didn't want

181
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.600
to overlook. And that's the pay per view coming up

182
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:09.000
UFC three thirteen at T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Yes,

183
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:14.960
your main event is clearly Chauma Poet poetan Alex Peira

184
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.759
versus Unclelia. That's still in the works. But as far

185
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:25.039
as lightweights, we had a vacancy in the co main

186
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.159
event justin gae Chee all of a sudden was left

187
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:34.919
without arrival, and there was a adding kindling to the

188
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:40.320
fire where Dustin Poorrier threw his name into the mix

189
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:45.039
and said I'm willing to come face you. Or maybe

190
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.399
it was Geechee. Either way, there was discussion back and

191
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:54.240
forth on X, where are you available? Could we get

192
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.559
the third either the third bout or the fourth bout?

193
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.120
This sounds really bad to where I'm not as well

194
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.799
versed in this rivalry as I'd like to be. But

195
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.440
the last time these two met, it was for the

196
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:08.639
BMF title. You had Geyechie with the head knockout with

197
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.440
the kick that the world was talking about. But even

198
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.679
the validity of the BMF title has now diminished at

199
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:19.440
this point. I don't remember a discussion lately of anyone

200
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:23.120
talking about the BMF titles. It's not got a strong

201
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:29.919
lineage and it's a curse. Now, anyone who holds it

202
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:35.960
it hasn't done anything except help with ratings. So Gaichie

203
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.679
is looking to Dustin Poia or poirier is and talks

204
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.919
to them over X. But next thing, you know, that's

205
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.120
not gonna work out because we have number eleven and

206
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:51.200
the lightweight division stepping in. We have Hafiel Fasayev. So

207
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:55.600
is it a banger between Justin Gaichie and Phasaiah. Sure,

208
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.960
I'll take it. This is still a really solid card

209
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:00.759
with a lot of names that are recognize that. I'm

210
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.879
excited to see you again. I'm excited to see Curris Blades.

211
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.399
I'm excited to see King Green step back in there

212
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.480
aka Bobby Green, the artist formally known the artist formally

213
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.559
known as Bobby Green, now known as King Green. I'm

214
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.600
glad to see him back in there. I'm glad to

215
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:21.000
see Jalen Turner stepping back into the cage again again.

216
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:25.080
The lightweights are really in the spotlight for three thirteen.

217
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:29.120
But Justin Gatgee now has a dance partner, but it

218
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:34.000
could have been another run with him and Dustin Poorrier.

219
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.919
So while I was watching that, I kind of go, Okay,

220
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.120
we'll see if there are some strong highlight reels for

221
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:45.120
tonight in the Apex, which is again hard to follow

222
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:51.960
when you have up and coming Joan Silva, who puts

223
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:56.120
on an amazing performance and says that he wants thug

224
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:03.519
nasty Bryce Mitchell. Now, my phone has been blowing up

225
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.680
from a lot of my friends that are MMA fans

226
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:15.160
on the activity for UFC three fourteen on April twelfth

227
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:21.599
in Miami, and I will tell you that three fourteen

228
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:29.480
has so much to be desired. This is glistening off

229
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.799
the page. But I did have an issue with it,

230
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.640
and if I can blockead Nation, I'll walk you through

231
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.759
what it is, because it's not like when you listen

232
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.839
to me, who is just an MMA fan from the

233
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:47.039
outside looking in. I'm not always going to be some

234
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.400
obsequious yes man and just say that I like everything

235
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:55.279
that's booked for me. And when I look at something

236
00:17:55.480 --> 00:18:01.680
like okay, Jean Silva's performance allows him to jump straight

237
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:04.240
to the front of the line against Bryce Mitchell. Again,

238
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:09.319
you have star power from top to bottom on UFC

239
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:13.119
three fourteen. I'm loving that the main event is the

240
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:18.319
featherweights Alexander Volkanowski versus Diego Lopez. I love it the

241
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:23.720
Colemane Michael Chandler versus Patty, the battye pimblet. If you

242
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:27.319
can't get Connor in the ring, you can certainly get

243
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:31.680
the promising prospect from Liverpool to come in and face

244
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:38.279
Iron Michael. But even then, there's another story that develops

245
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.599
on this because I had watched how there was talk

246
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.519
waiting on the confirmation that there would be the introduction

247
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:50.960
of beltor MMA's own Patricio Pittbull making his debut in

248
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.240
the UFC on a main event in a pay per

249
00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:01.200
view against other than number five ranked Yayer Rodriguez. So

250
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.680
Patricio Pitbull is being thrown into the deep end of

251
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.599
the ocean right away. But this is the same guy

252
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:15.839
who had a storied rivalry with Michael Chandler. Those that

253
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.960
have followed belitor Mma, I might remember that bout remember

254
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:24.079
that almost a trilogy. I believe really well. Patricio Pitbull

255
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:29.720
and Michael Chandler exchanged many times in the cage. So

256
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.839
here he is not really jerking the curtain for but

257
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.279
he is in the main event as Michael Chandler will

258
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:42.160
step up to bat against Patty. So some of you're

259
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.319
going is there an issue that you got with his

260
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.839
card Blockhead, not so much with the names, not so

261
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.359
much with the star power. I mean, if I'm going

262
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.960
as far down as Chase Hooper and the veteran Jim Miller,

263
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.319
I'm impressed to see Darren Elkins on this card, to

264
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:02.720
see Dominic Reyes coming in against Krylov for the light heavyweights.

265
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:06.759
But here's where I have a little bit of pushback,

266
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.519
and this is where you might hear this and go,

267
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.559
maybe you're just kind of being a little bit of

268
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:20.759
a critic of some of these sanctimonious lap dogs that

269
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:23.039
are sitting up there in the UFC that pencil these

270
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:28.039
things in and don't even give any historical accuracy where

271
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:33.039
it belongs. Here's what I mean, Danny Gay versus Sean Woodson.

272
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:40.000
My biggest hang up is isn't Dan Ega the same

273
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:45.319
guy who stepped in and saved the day at UFC

274
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.799
three hundred against Diego Lopez who happens to be in

275
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:54.039
the main event. Isn't Dan Ega the same guy that

276
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:56.440
after this fight with Lopez, they both walked towards the

277
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:01.880
cage and they asked Dana White if they could both

278
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:06.000
have a fight at the sphere UFC three oh six.

279
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:13.200
So tell me why other than for the sake of marketing,

280
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:18.559
other than the sake of superstardom, other than the sake

281
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:23.559
of Oh, I don't know, recency bias, even though I

282
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:27.079
am salivating over what I'm seeing in this main card,

283
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:33.839
over Volk versus Lopez, over Chandler versus Patty, over the

284
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.240
performances Jean Silva gave and now he is facing thug

285
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:42.599
nasty Bryce Mitchell, that Patricio Pittbull and Yaya Rodriguez have

286
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.799
been Pennsylvan and they are on the main card as well.

287
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:49.640
The veteran Jeff Neil versus Carlos brought this. Please tell

288
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:54.920
me why Dan Egay has to jerk the curtain for

289
00:21:55.079 --> 00:22:00.559
them when he is the one that stepped in on

290
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:06.000
hours notice. And now Diego Lopez is the main event

291
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.839
of this card. Not that Diego Lopez doesn't deserve a

292
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:13.400
chance against Folk, It's not that. It's why with all

293
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:18.000
this star power, why is it that Dany Gay and

294
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:23.519
Sean Woodson shouldn't be the opening bout for the main

295
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:28.799
card instead of possibly, if I'm looking at the layout here,

296
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.920
if I'm looking at the lineup, they would be the

297
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:38.519
main event of the pre lambs. Are we going to

298
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:43.359
undermine the reliability and the loyalty of fifty tight and

299
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:47.920
fifty K dan Egay? Are we really going to do

300
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:54.240
that to him? Of all people? Put some respect on

301
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:58.640
dan Egay's name. Now, maybe this won't be his night

302
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:06.680
against Sean Woodson, who's but as promising and as exciting

303
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:12.319
as Miami's gonna be at UFC three fourteen. My only

304
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:17.039
hang up for this whole thing is what are you

305
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:23.039
doing with dan Egay? Couldn't you be doing more when

306
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:27.799
you know that you can rely on him, when you

307
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:29.599
know that this is a guy who's even stepped in

308
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:34.839
the cage with Bryce Mitchell and he is further up

309
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:39.640
on the card. If there was any critique that I

310
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:45.880
would give, it's how he is jerking the curtain for

311
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.039
so many on this night. But other than that, couldn't

312
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:54.000
be more excited about UFC three fourteen. So will there

313
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:56.160
be highlight reels that I will catch you up on

314
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.000
next week when we look at the APEX tonight Sure

315
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.880
three thirteen Alex Pereira versus Uncliath. Plenty to discuss on

316
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:06.799
that coming up next week with that pay per view

317
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.640
so many eyes are on three point fourteen, that's on

318
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.640
the horizon. So much to be excited about in this

319
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.680
sport as of right now. Plenty of talking points for

320
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:20.440
your favorite blockhead, and until next Saturday. Know how this works.

321
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.640
We works. We will catch you next time, same blockhead time,

322
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:26.119
same blockhead. Chin
