1
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.440
Broadcasting live good evening. Blockhead Nation
come to you through the rain drops from

2
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:37.399
North Texas. You are listening to
your favorite Blockhead, the only podcast in

3
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:42.880
the podcasting world that can somehow incorporate
the Peanuts comic script one minute and then

4
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:47.560
be talking about MMA and Warriors inside
the Octagon the next. I am your

5
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.320
host. My name is Brian Little
Candy. A little bit later this evening.

6
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.600
Just to be on the safe side
some of y'all that are not in

7
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.640
the North Texas area, it has
been continuously raining all day long, so

8
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.759
you have to be careful and make
sure that electricity was coming through the Blockhead

9
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.200
mansion to make sure that they can
run smoothly. But I'm here on the

10
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:08.079
microphone with you now we're talking,
so I will say this if you are

11
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:15.319
tuning into this podcast. Number one, God is King. Number two Peanuts

12
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.480
is the single most successful comic strip
in American history. And number three,

13
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.079
mixed Martial Arts is the greatest sport
under God's hot sun. Those are the

14
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.000
three topics that are talked about on
this podcast. If you're an MMA fan,

15
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.519
you can fast forward a little bit
and go through the scripture of the

16
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.480
day and you'll catch that on the
back end. I promise you'll find it

17
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.200
there. If you are a Peanuts
fan, then you've come to the right

18
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.159
part of the podcast. You come
to the right show. There's a few

19
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.560
things I'm gonna bring up this week, starting with simply a philosophy that started

20
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.599
with Sparky. It started with Charles
Schultz. So the numero uno blockhead will

21
00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:00.120
always be Charles Schultz himself, the
creator of the comic Peanuts. We will

22
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.000
get to Charlie Brown and just a
man with his accomplishments, but we'll start

23
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.159
with this. It's a simple philosophy
that he carried over from the comic strip

24
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:15.240
and it's been going through emails and
blogs and many different social media websites I've

25
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:16.840
looked through through the week. I'm
go ahead and share it, so if

26
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:21.800
you're listening, you don't have to
grab a pen and paper, but this

27
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.639
is something for you to do on
your own. Conceptually, the first thing

28
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:31.680
I want you to think about is
can you name the five wealthiest people in

29
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:39.879
the world. If you can without
googling, that you're rare. Can you

30
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:45.360
name the last five Heisman Trophy winners? Maybe you can name a few some

31
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.400
of you that are big sports fans. That's wonderful if you can. If

32
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:54.280
you can't, that's common too.
Can you name the last five winners of

33
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:59.879
the Miss America pageant? Can you
name me somebody recently who won a Nobel

34
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:06.879
Prize, somebody who won the Pulitzer
Prize. Can you name the Academy Award

35
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:13.800
winners from last year? Actor and
actress. Those of us that are Texas

36
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.000
Rangers fans know who won the World
Series last year, But can you name

37
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:22.319
who won over the last decade in
numerical order? Can you do that?

38
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:30.120
Here's the point, we don't remember
all the headlines of yesterday. These are

39
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:31.919
people that are just named off that
are really the best in their field.

40
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:39.360
But guess what happens. Eventually the
applause dies, the trophies collect dust,

41
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:45.479
the awards are going to tarnish.
These achievements are going to be forgotten.

42
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:52.280
All these accolades get buried with their
owners. So we have to ask a

43
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:57.319
couple of other questions. Let me
ask you this, you that are listening

44
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.439
Blockhead Nation, can you name a
few teachers in your life that actually helped

45
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:08.319
you with your journey through school?
Can you do that? How about three

46
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:13.120
friends who helped you through your difficult
times that you faced, those that helped

47
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.240
you weather a storm. What about
the five people who taught you something that

48
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.639
you found out that was worthwhile in
the long run? Could you do that?

49
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:29.120
What about a few people who made
you feel appreciated? What about people

50
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:36.120
who you enjoy spending time with the
question is is that easier than the challenge

51
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.680
I just presented you with earlier.
Here's what Sparky was trying to get across.

52
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.839
This is his point. The people
who make a difference in your life

53
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.040
are not the ones who have the
most credentials. These aren't the people who

54
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.959
have the most money to line their
pockets. These aren't the people that have

55
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:01.120
the most awards or the most trophies. They're simply the ones who care.

56
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:09.480
They're simply the ones when you need
them, they're there for you. And

57
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:14.959
that was Charles Schultz's philosophy. And
when it comes to Charlie Brown, who

58
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.920
I should talk about more on this
podcast, I can remember when it comes

59
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:27.439
to his achievements, most people would
say that he never kicked the football.

60
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.240
I'm here to tell you that he
did. Now, it may not be

61
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:39.079
in the context you're thinking because you're
like, wait a minute, Lucy always

62
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.199
pulled the ball away, and he
would always fall in his back and kill

63
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.040
himself, as he would describe throughout
the strip and the TV show and on

64
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.480
the movie at the very end,
you know, like she always pulled it

65
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:55.439
away. That's true. But he
did kick the football more than once.

66
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.759
The only caveat to that would be
that Schroeder was holding the ball when he

67
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.560
did. Or in the episode It's
Magic Charlie Brown, he was invisible when

68
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.079
he was able to best Loosey at
her game. So when people say he

69
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.800
never kicked the football, yes he
did. But was he efficient in that

70
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:21.600
department? No, of course not. How about this one people have always

71
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.160
told me when they read about Charlie
Brown. Yeah, he could never get

72
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.560
a kite into the air. False. The problem was not that he couldn't

73
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:38.600
get it into the air. It's
that he couldn't keep a kite flying efficiently

74
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.920
to where it would flutter down in
grace. So he could get it in

75
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.920
the air, but it would never
stay there or get tangled in the kite

76
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:51.519
intry. Or like the recent comic
strip that has circulated from the Charles Schultz

77
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:57.439
Museum this week, it showed Charlie
Brown flying the kite, then getting into

78
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.600
a scuffle, and the next thing
you know, he's hanging between two trees

79
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.920
and I believe it might have been
Violet or somebody that walked by and looked

80
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:11.600
at him, and he's just swinging
between the strings back and forth, and

81
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:16.600
he just says, don't say anything, just get the scissors. I mean,

82
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:21.319
you know, some serious pride swallowing
when it comes to that. So

83
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:29.279
does Charlie Brown have accomplishments? Yes, not exactly the best baseball manager,

84
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.560
as one of the worst records of
all time. Certainly when it comes to

85
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:38.160
a spelling bee. He won the
school spelling Bee, but he only came

86
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:43.319
in second in the national elimination.
So what he'll do is he will give

87
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:49.240
a decent showing, but he won't
have those accolades to show in his room.

88
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:56.360
He won't have any of these awards
that collect dust over time. Charlie

89
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.439
Brown would just always be a guy
who would give his best and as they

90
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:05.839
say, keep plugging away. There's
a word for that. It's persistence.

91
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.959
Even if he can't finish the race
or win the race, he might continue

92
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.240
to run it with as much excellence
as he can muster up. That's what

93
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.800
you get out of Charlie Brown,
and that's why a lot of people resonate

94
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:26.759
with him. Those that are not
so pessimistic are the ones that are cheering

95
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.519
in the background. Go for it, Charlie Brown. We think you can

96
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:35.799
do it this time, and maybe
for once, I can use something from

97
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.879
a previous podcast that I've been wanting
to share all week long. This is

98
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.840
a bit of a stretch, mind
you, but I mentioned a while back

99
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:50.200
about songs that were great storytelling.
Now I will dabble in any type of

100
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.879
music that's out there. I might
listen to R and B or rap,

101
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.000
or I might listen to Christian music
or country music, or rock and roll

102
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.720
or heavy metal. I'll do anything, ska, reggae, you give it

103
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.639
to me. If it's got a
decent beat and got some decent lyrics,

104
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.919
I might actually give it the time
of day. But I will tell you

105
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:11.440
this, I've always believed that some
of the best storytelling came out of country

106
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:18.039
songs from the seventies, eighties,
nineties. One in particularly, The Devil

107
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:24.000
Went Down to Georgia. That's great
storytelling, but one that just doesn't get

108
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.960
enough attention. That fell through the
cracks I always believed and believe even more

109
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:35.039
as a grown adult is a song
by Mark Chestnutt Bubba Shot the Jukebox.

110
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:41.559
Now I've brought that up before.
Why do I say that? Found out

111
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.399
recently? There was a Harvard Law
professor I kid you not, that actually

112
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:54.559
gave an assignment to his students at
Harvard Law. What he did is he

113
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.919
made sure that he played the song
Bubba Shot the Jukebox for his student.

114
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:07.960
They had to both give a defense
for Bubba in the story, or they

115
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.399
had to be the one who gave
out the verdict. So if you listen

116
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.360
to the song, he not only
shoots the jukebox because it plays a sad

117
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.840
song that makes him cry. There's
a part where everybody's anxious until he puts

118
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.639
the gun down on the table and
the sheriff shows up, still in his

119
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.720
bathrobe and says, you were always
a dense one, and the charge is

120
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:37.120
reckless discharge of a gun. But
as soon as Bubba hears the charge,

121
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.720
the exact words were reckless. I
hit exactly what I was aiming for.

122
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.159
How can you call that reckless if
you've never looked at the lyrics? Go

123
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.240
back and look at it, and
then at the very end it talks about

124
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:54.240
beyond a shadow of a doubt,
it was a justifiable homicide. This was

125
00:10:54.279 --> 00:11:03.240
talked about in a Harvard law school
setting. Students had to both defend and

126
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.639
to condemn Bubba for what he did. If that's not great storytelling, I

127
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.840
don't know what he is. If
you can't do that, that is storytelling

128
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.840
to another level, to a third
degree of excellence. And since it fell

129
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.200
through the cracks everywhere else blockad nation, you're getting in here, and if

130
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.159
you're not following me, don't ask
questions. Just like Charlie Brown said,

131
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.039
instead of getting the scissors, don't
ask questions. Just stick around long enough

132
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.000
to hear the scripture of the day
and to hear the mma news that is

133
00:11:35.039 --> 00:12:05.080
coming up with the back end.
Our scripture reading for this podcast comes from

134
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:11.799
John chapter eight, verse twelve.
Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying

135
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.480
I am the light of the world. He that follow me shall not walk

136
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:22.519
in darkness, but shall have the
light of life. As it says in

137
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.679
the Reflection from Blue Lair Bible,
it says, walk in the light forsake

138
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:33.639
the deeds of darkness. God has
promised life to those who will put away

139
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:41.039
their old lives and trust in the
life we have in Him. May his

140
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:48.600
people shout out, Everlasting God,
Helleliah from the very shadow of death unto

141
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.039
the everlasting truth that is Christ Jesus. So thank you for me on a

142
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.960
chance to share with you the truth
Blockhead Nation. As we shift over into

143
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:05.399
it's almost impossible for me to do
a recap on just how much UFC three

144
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.279
hundred just set the bar. And
I know I'm just as guilty as so

145
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.639
many others that thought that this card
seemed to be lacking in star power,

146
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.360
but it was rewarding for a fan
like me who's been following for a while.

147
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.399
And when I thought that I was
going to be intrigued, it was

148
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.399
like a tractor beam sucking me in. The whole night. I am glued

149
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:35.279
from the very opening fight of Davison
Figuredo versus Cardy Garbrant, and to see

150
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.519
how comfortable that Figuredo is at the
bantamweight division, He's gonna continue to be

151
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:46.440
a problem. Bobby Green goes to
war with Jim Miller, who has been

152
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.240
on UFC one D two hundred and
three hundred, a veteran of our sport,

153
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.320
goes all the way to the fifth
round by unanimous decision to Bobby Green,

154
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:00.799
and right then there on the microphone
he calls out Patty the Batty,

155
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.519
he wants to face him in the
UK. I'm pretty sure that at this

156
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:11.480
point, with the tear that Bobby's
been on, he will tear apart Patty

157
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.440
the Batty, So we'll save that
for another day. Androge pulls out a

158
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.720
defeat on Marina Rodriguez. Jalen Turner
loses to run out to Micano, who

159
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.480
is already making a quick turnaround since
UFC three oh three has been announced.

160
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.919
So it's just been what a card
just from the early prelams. Holly Holm

161
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.360
falls short to Kayla Harrison again wasn't
surprised at all by that one. We

162
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.360
had a snooze fest with aut Jermaine
Sterling and Calvin Cator where he just pretty

163
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.000
much laid on him like a human
blanket the entire time that they're fighting.

164
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.240
Your Pahasco puts on one heck of
a performance again the ko in the second

165
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:52.240
round. So now we get to
Bo Nickel, who was not impressed with

166
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.679
his own performance. I mean it's
one of those We go to the second

167
00:14:54.759 --> 00:15:00.600
round for the first time ever,
he gets a submission on Cody and he's

168
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.639
not thrilled with how he did here. So it just kind of tells you

169
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.679
the longer he's in this game,
the more of a problem he's gonna be.

170
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.000
Now, we gotta just spend some
time highlighting the next few fights.

171
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:20.159
Arman Serukion comes out and actually deck's
a fan on his way out there.

172
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.840
I kind of watched that and went
did he turn around and just go after

173
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.000
a guy? Yeah, he literally
threw hands with somebody before he went to

174
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:30.600
the cage. I'm like, great, okay, we're gonna have a lawsuit

175
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.519
to deal with afterwards. But apparently
the fan was really cool and just said,

176
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.960
hey, get me some tickets.
Dana White to UFC three oh three

177
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.919
when Chandler and Connor are gonna fight. I'll get to that in just a

178
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:48.360
minute. But Seroukion actually goes the
distance and gets a split decision with Charles

179
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:54.080
Olivera in this fight. Olivera really
looked great in the first round, looked

180
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.360
like he was gonna put armand to
sleep. Looked like he was in the

181
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:03.519
last minute as well. So Rookie
on through those dangerous elbows in the second

182
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:08.279
round and just opened up Charles Olaveriro
just a Crimson mask, bleeding all over

183
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:15.279
the canvas. So we had an
overall pretty good fight there. And oh

184
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:21.840
man, where do I even begin
with the amazing bout between Justin Gagee and

185
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:26.120
Max Holloway. And what I think
I'll do is I'll fast forward to what's

186
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:33.039
expected at the end of June.
We've already had it announced that the King

187
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:41.759
of MMA, the notorious Connor McGregor, is finally it's confirmed. We have

188
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:49.519
a venue, t Mobile Arena,
Las Vegas, June twenty ninth, against

189
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:57.080
the coach that he was an adversary
with on The Ultimate Fighter. You have

190
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.480
Chandler versus Connor finally penciled in.
We have a venue, we have tickets

191
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.920
on sale. It's on UFC dot
com. And I can tell you right

192
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:17.000
now that I don't care. I
don't care. I don't care. I

193
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:22.759
don't care. You know why I
don't care, Because Max Holloway and Justin

194
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.279
Gagee just put on one of the
greatest performances in the history of this sport.

195
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:33.720
Because you literally had in the last
ten seconds Max Holloway showing why he

196
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:41.240
is the new deserved BMF of the
entire UFC organization. And I'm gonna go

197
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.400
ahead and go back to another event
just to prove my point here. If

198
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:51.920
you're gonna have knockouts and highlights that
will bring people in, that will draw

199
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:55.079
the flies, you got a few
of them. Because I thought there's no

200
00:17:55.160 --> 00:18:00.680
way I would ever see a last
five second knockout. Let's go back to

201
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:07.480
twenty sixteen. You have YAYR Rodriguez
versus the Korean Zombie. These guys go

202
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.039
to war for five rounds. Click
click, click click. We know what's

203
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:18.000
coming. They agree to swing for
the fences. They start to throw hands.

204
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:23.000
All of a sudden, the air
throws that spinning back elbow catches Korean

205
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:30.079
Zombie flush lights out. I had
named that at the time the greatest knockout

206
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:34.000
of all time, only because I
didn't expect to ever see it again.

207
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:37.920
I didn't think we'd see a whole
five rounds where they go to war,

208
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:42.640
and then you see this. I've
been put in my place. I'm eating

209
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:48.680
crow and liking the taste of it. I was so wrong. I put

210
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:55.039
that fight above the five second knockout
where Jorge Massibital brought the fly and knee

211
00:18:55.079 --> 00:19:02.319
and hit Ben Askron the five seconds
and knocked him out. That above Leon

212
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:06.960
Edwards in the fifth round against Kamara
Usman, throwing that perfect kick and getting

213
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.359
the lights out. I didn't think
we would get what we got, and

214
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:18.160
we got in the last ten seconds
after Max Holloway in the first round had

215
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.279
thrown a spinning back kick caught Justin
Gachee in the nose. Noses broken,

216
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.759
bleeding. We're not sure if he's
gonna get off his stool. And he

217
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:33.000
continues to go to war with this
broken nose, and it's four incredible rounds.

218
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.720
We get to the fifth round,
we hear of the ten second click

219
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:42.480
click, click click, and what
happens. Holloway points to the canvas and

220
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:48.160
says, let's give them what they
want to see. Let's start throwing hands,

221
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.519
and they start throwing back and forth. Crack, crack, crack.

222
00:19:52.279 --> 00:20:02.680
Finally, an overhand right gay chie
hits the canvas, an eruption out of

223
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:07.200
UFC three hundred. I couldn't even
speak the next day because I was screaming

224
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:15.039
so loud. This is why I
don't care. Connor and Chandler can face

225
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:19.079
each other in June, and I
don't care. This sport has moved on

226
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:25.400
without him. One thing you cannot
do, even though you got thirteen second

227
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:30.480
knockout against Jose Aldo Connor, you
cannot do what Max Holloway just did.

228
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:36.039
You are not the one carrying the
flagship of the UFC. His name is

229
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:41.200
Max Holloway, the deserved BMF title
holder. And we haven't got to the

230
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:48.240
main event yet, our girls co
main event. Zanguele the champ versus yan

231
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:53.359
Zigan of China. First round,
we think that she's out for a rear

232
00:20:53.440 --> 00:21:00.640
naked choke. Ref doesn't call it
and we still get five rounds stop action

233
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:07.039
with the girls still the remaining champion. We get to Alex Porea versus Jamal

234
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:15.000
Hill, and again let's just go
through the accolades of this moment. Jamal

235
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:21.880
Hill accidentally grazes Alex Porea, gets
a bit of a crotch shot on him.

236
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.799
Herbdan's about to step in. Alex
Perera puts his arm up without even

237
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:33.200
taking his eyes off of Jamal Hill
to say Herbdean, don't interfere, don't

238
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:40.279
don't step back. Less than three
seconds go by, he winds up throws

239
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:47.720
that left. Jamal Hill is gone. Lights out for the former champion Alex

240
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.359
Perera finishes off with a barrage of
punches. It's over in a flurry.

241
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:59.319
In a flash, we have Alex
Perea standing tall. The guy who at

242
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.960
this point, who do we put
him against? Does he go up to

243
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:06.480
heavyweight now and he faces Tom aspinall? Does he go up and face possibly

244
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:10.480
John Jones? Is this the guy
to do it? He was the one

245
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.240
that the dethrone is he? Is
he the one who can do it?

246
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.519
All? This to be asked.
Three hundred may not have delivered on star

247
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:30.000
power, but the talent, the
true sportsman of the UFC truly defied all

248
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:38.119
expectations. This was a knight that
will live in infamy for UFC fans and

249
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:44.079
for us Blockhead Nation. The bar
has been set. So when I look

250
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.240
at UFC three h three, knowing
that Connor is gonna be on this fight,

251
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:52.000
it really makes me cringe for a
second to see that we have a

252
00:22:52.119 --> 00:23:00.400
quick turnaround for Jamal Hill. He's
already been confirmed to be on this hard

253
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:04.039
which You've also got a comaine apparently
of Joe Piper, which does have my

254
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:08.200
attention. But we have to ask
the question you're automatically gonna put Jamal Hill,

255
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:15.480
who got his clock clean against a
guy who could knock out a bull

256
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.640
with his right or left or his
elbows. You're gonna put him in there

257
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:26.200
with Khalil Rountree. This is one
of the strongest contenders that he could possibly

258
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.799
be facing. Aren't we a little
bit concerned for his safety? Aren't we

259
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:37.839
concerned for more brain injuries that can
come from this facing Khalil Roundree, of

260
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.559
all people that you would have him
signed for. What kind of punishment are

261
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.759
we dealing out on Jamal Hill.
I still appreciate the fact that he may

262
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:47.839
have fallen into the hands of Alex
Perea, but this is the fight you

263
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:52.680
set him up for within less than
three months to get ready against a powerhouse

264
00:23:53.440 --> 00:24:00.440
like Khalil Rowntree. I don't know
why I should be behind this. Who's

265
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:04.680
gonna be behind this? Is this
just something you're doling out on Jamal Hill

266
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.519
at this point. I understand if
the fight is offered to him. I

267
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:12.480
just don't know what Joe Silva and
Dana are doing with this one, and

268
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:17.359
I would worry a little bit for
that kind of turnaround. Anybody who's a

269
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:22.200
coach who's worth their snuff, we'll
let Jamal Hill come back this early against

270
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:26.319
such a powerhouse, a guy with
sledgehammers in his hands like Khalil Rowntree.

271
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.000
I leave you with that Blockhead Nation. I do appreciate all of you coming

272
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.880

that are available that are on the Koffee
