Do You Have An Open Mind About The Great Pumpkin?

1
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.280
Broadcasting live, good evening, Blockhead
Nation, and thank you for stopping by.

2
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:35.039
Once again, you are listening to
your favorite Blockhead, the only podcast

3
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.920
in the podcasting world that can somehow
incorporate the Peanuts comic strip one minute and

4
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.560
then be talking about MMA and Warriors
inside the Octagon the next. I am

5
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.560
your host. My name is Brian
Little, and once again I'm coming to

6
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.000
you from the Blockhead Mansion, from
the living room with about four dogs in

7
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.759
the living room with me. So
I'm not promising that there's gonna be great

8
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.280
audio quality on this. I'm certainly
gonna do my best, but every Saturday

9
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.280
means everything. I'm always going to
be here with you on the microphone unless

10
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.000
otherwise said. Second of all,
this is a listener supported podcast for listeners

11
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.319
just like you. I can always
use your help in many different formats.

12
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.439
The most helpful is the downloads downloading
the show off of Spreaker or if you're

13
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.879
going to Apple or Spotify, those
are extremely helpful to move along the algorithm.

14
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.920
If you want to leave a review, rate review, and subscribe,

15
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.200
that's always helpful. I appreciate that. But if you will go to the

16
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:32.480
links at your favorite Blockhead dot com
slash blog. I'm doing the call to

17
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.840
action early just to ask you to
make sure that if you want to look

18
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.400
for the links anything that's associated with
today's show, whether that be merchandise,

19
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:42.840
whether that be the kofee page where
you can donate a root beer, or

20
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:48.159
if there's anything else you're interested in
that comes from today's episode, your favorite

21
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.959
blockhead dot com slash blog. The
blog is the most easy to access when

22
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.680
it comes to getting links for the
show or any other topics I might bring

23
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:00.280
up, or any other networks I'm
associated with, especially things like the Life

24
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.599
Being Network, Yogi's podcast network,
and there's a lot of them that I'm

25
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.040
associated with. So want to make
sure that that's mentioned, and I want

26
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:08.919
to make it as easy for you
as I can. You have no excuses,

27
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.199
So thank you so much Blocking Nation, just for being here and listening

28
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.439
to this episode that I'm recording today. And to begin with, we're getting

29
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:23.319
close to the emerging of the Great
Pumpkin. He's almost here. He will

30
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:29.639
rise on Tuesday. And if we
think back to the episode of It's the

31
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.960
Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, I
always found it interesting if you stop and

32
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:39.360
watch this part where before Charlie Brown
puts on the sheet that is covered in

33
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:46.560
scissor holes since he struggles in that
department. Lucy made an interesting observation.

34
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:54.280
She said this a person should always
choose costume which is in direct contrast to

35
00:02:54.360 --> 00:03:00.960
their own personality. Now that's not
normally what our kids or what fans of

36
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.960
Halloween do. You tend to choose
something that is either the trend of the

37
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.080
time or something that is one of
your faves. So if you are a

38
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.800
person who loves scary movies and you
want to dress up as Michael Myers,

39
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.520
or if you want to dress up
like Jason, or if you want to

40
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.719
do something like that, then that's
understandable if you're a person that's following the

41
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.560
trends. Sometimes it's the Marvel comic
superheroes that are coming out, So you

42
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:29.360
see a lot of Iron Man,
Captain America, whatever, the big movie

43
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.000
that is out that's the big blockbuster. It's just kind of it's one of

44
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.840
those two. Normally, people don't
just look at us and go, what

45
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.680
can I be? That's opposite of
who I am? I remember a friend

46
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.719
of mine we went through HB one
time. This happens to be one of

47
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.680
the local supermarkets in the Dallas Fort
Worth area, just in case you're listening

48
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.159
outside of here. I don't know
if you have a United, I don't

49
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.319
know if you have Walmart. I
don't know if you just shop at your

50
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.120
local Piggy Wiggly whatever it is that
you got in any part of the world

51
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.800
that is your superstore that you go
to. Well, ours was HB and

52
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.919
they had a Halloween section. And
this guy, this friend of mine,

53
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:13.759
walked around with a nineteen ninety eight
costume mask of the WCW wrestler known as

54
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.000
Sting, the man they call Stay
for some reason, you just go up

55
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.040
to people and just start talking to
him. So it was just, you

56
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.879
know, out of pure humor,
you know, just comedic relief. But

57
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.160
the choosing a costume that is in
direct contrast, certainly, Halloween is a

58
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.279
chance for you to change colors.
It's a chance for you to figurely shed

59
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:40.600
your skin and be somebody else,
whether you're going to a Halloween party or

60
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.879
if you are going trigger treating,
or if you are just dressing up for

61
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.480
the sake of handing out candy,
whatever that might be. I just ask

62
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:54.720
you, simultaneously, while you are
enjoying whatever costume that is of your heart's

63
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.959
desire. You keep an eye out
for the Great Pumpkin. And if you

64
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.160
you look through the entire episode of
It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, there

65
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:10.560
is so much, not only philosophy, but there are certainly ethical principles and

66
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:17.519
precedents that should be followed by the
everdent common man. There's great life lessons

67
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.759
if you give this a chance.
One of the greatest life lessons you will

68
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:30.279
ever attain from watching The Great Pumpkin
Charlie Brown is after Charlie Brown has made

69
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:39.079
a pile of leaves with the help
of Snoopy. You see Linus off camera

70
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:46.079
notice this pile of leaves and leap
into the air and shake his arms and

71
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:55.079
yell charge and make a diving leap
for the pile of leaves. But unfortunately

72
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.879
he learned the hard way that you
have a wet sucker in your hands and

73
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:09.240
you have been accruing the nasty stickiness
around your lips. So he is sharing

74
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.399
with your children, or sharing with
anyone else that would bother to listen.

75
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.639
One of the greatest life lessons you
can ever gain, which is simply never

76
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:21.160
to jump into a pile of leaves
with a wet sucker. I mean,

77
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:26.600
he saved you a lot of trauma, didn't Hey, Blockhead Nation, if

78
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.959
you would heed those words of advice, I'm just sharing for you The Great

79
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:36.480
Pumpkin. It blows my mind on
how he's not given the proper respect that

80
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:43.079
he deserves. We talked about that
last episode. He's had more publicity in

81
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.360
the sixties and seventies when people would
religiously watch The Great Pumpkin. Charlie browne

82
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:53.079
more people believe in Santa Claus.
Well, there's also another side to this.

83
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.399
There is an ailment that comes with
believing in the Great Pumpkin. And

84
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.720
found that out the hard way in
one of the episodes called It's You're Not

85
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.879
Elected Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown is
not elected for student body president, but

86
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:13.639
Linus is a clear candidate to win
the whole thing. And if you'll notice,

87
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:18.040
there's an entire scene towards the end
he says, rather than campaign talk,

88
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:24.160
I have decided he steps away from
the pulpit, like when a pastor

89
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.800
is getting super serious about something he
has a conviction about, or it's a

90
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.680
confession, or it's something that you
need to pay attention to, and he

91
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:40.519
does this, I have decided,
in his words, Lina says, I've

92
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:46.639
decided to say a few words about
the Great Pumpkin. Well, there goes

93
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.600
his entire candidacy, because the entire
student body is going to laugh him off

94
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:57.839
the stage when he starts speaking the
facts, when he starts spitting truth that

95
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.160
Halloween will be with us soon and
the great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin

96
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:07.199
patch. We don't know which one, geographically speaking, spiritually speaking, we

97
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.399
don't know which one he's going to
choose. It's yet to be determined.

98
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.000
And the same thing this year,
we don't know what pumpkin patch he's coming

99
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.360
out of. He's looking for the
one that's most sincere. I would hope

100
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.519
he would choose one in the Dallas
Fort Worth area, so I could see

101
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.759
him emerge like the rising fans from
Arizona. But I don't know where he's

102
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:31.800
coming from. But he says the
truth that the great Pumpkin will rise out

103
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.720
of the pumpkin patch and bring good
little toys to all the good little children.

104
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.120
Well, this drops his chances of
winning the candidacy from ninety nine to

105
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.279
about fifty percent. And of course
As soon as he is done being accosted

106
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.840
by his campaign manager, which would
be his sister Lucy, he looks at

107
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.679
her, and he looks at the
kids, and he looks down at the

108
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.559
ground, and he takes a deep
breath, almost one of those deep gulps,

109
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:05.000
like he's kicked in the throat,
and he says the words that have

110
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.720
could not be more true to this
podcaster, to the Blockhead nation, to

111
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:16.879
anyone who will listen. It is
depressing to think that there are people who

112
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.639
do not believe in the Great Pumpkin. What shouldn't be dividing us as a

113
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:28.759
nation? Divides us as a nation? Three things religion, politics, and

114
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.440
the Great Pumpkin. Maybe a fourth
one. Now that the Texas Rangers have

115
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.399
made into the World Series, I'm
still on cloud nine. I'm still pinching

116
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.639
myself that we are doing this well, me being another IDFW kid or from

117
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.320
over here from the season we had. I know that's a total one a

118
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.840
from what I'm talking about, But
I'm sure the Great Pumpkin is pleased with

119
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:58.159
seeing two underdogs going for the World
Series, going for the title. It's

120
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.840
been exciting run. It's been quite
an interesting year, but to go out

121
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.960
on a bang. The Great Pumpkin
will rise from whatever pumpkin patch he chooses

122
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:15.759
is the most sincere. And this
Blockhead, your favorite Blockhead, is patiently

123
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:22.120
waiting, looking at the sky,
keeping the faith and trying to contemplate why

124
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:31.039
it's so divisive and so disuniting to
believe in the truth that is the Great

125
00:10:31.279 --> 00:11:00.360
Pumpkin. Our scripture reading for this
podcast comes from Psalms one and thirty eight,

126
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:05.799
verse seven. Though I walk in
the midst of trouble that will revive

127
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:13.360
me, Thou shalt stretch forth thine
hand against the wrath of mine enemies,

128
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:20.440
and thy right hand shall save me. Reflection for Blue Lair, Bible says,

129
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.679
fear not the troubled paths of your
life. Give no concern to the

130
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.840
evils that press in upon you.
Give your entire focus to the pursuit of

131
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:35.559
the entrants. The interests excuse me
of the heavenly kingdom. Ever, will

132
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:41.879
the shepherd protect his sheep. Always
want to make sure I share the truth

133
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.240
with you, Blockhead Nation, even
though my truths about the Great Pumpkin could

134
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:54.159
be dividing, just as I am
not really wanted to go into it.

135
00:11:54.200 --> 00:12:01.200
We have the boxing match between Tyson
Fury and Francis Nagano. What's going on

136
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:09.879
now? And I've already got information
from both the Athletic and Bleacher Report that

137
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:16.879
apparently Nagano has knocked down Fury.
Thus that's changing the betting odds. What's

138
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.840
my answer to this is, Oh, the Globe Trotters did a spin jam

139
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.360
on either the Lakers or the Celtics. Next question. Not going to engage

140
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.240
in any further because really I wish
I could get into all I want to

141
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.399
say about the two ninety four recap
UFC two ninety four Flight Island just to

142
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.159
go back over it. I mean, I could spend all day on this

143
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.440
episode, but I really have to
go into one thing. We have a

144
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:52.799
clear lightweight champion of the world,
Islam Makischev defeats Alexander Volkanowski with a headkick.

145
00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:00.960
I was certainly expecting a grappling clinic. I was expecting missioned attempts.

146
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:07.279
I was expecting some accurate striking.
Were you expecting the head kick? If

147
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.039
you were an MMA fan, were
you expecting that? I wasn't expecting it.

148
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.799
When Connor did to Tony. I'm
sorry not to Connor, but Chandler

149
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:20.679
did to Tony Ferguson, I certainly
wasn't expecting it with Islam. But here

150
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.440
we stand, and I'd like to
throw a theory out there. It's another

151
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:30.960
hypothetical when we look at the options
we have moving forward. I know I

152
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.440
threw out a hypothetical with my bonus
episode last week. That's just me talking

153
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.399
just because I have this idea that
I want to hold on to so dearly

154
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.000
about what I think should happen with
the booking of the next fight. That

155
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.480
doesn't mean they won't go with the
three options that are already on the table.

156
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.519
As the song said, all the
cards are on the table. Is

157
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.600
no ace left in the hole?
Well, I was doing my best to

158
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.399
show you that somebody left a joker
in the deck, or that there was

159
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.480
an ace in the hole that you
were missing if you were to do We're

160
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:09.919
willing to do some digging. But
I'm pretty sure that means that Islam is

161
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:16.159
either gonna face. As Dana has
already stated, Charles olivera whom even though

162
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.159
I still say he's one of the
best lightweights out there and he's a former

163
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.759
champion, this is a guy who
missed weight. This is a guy who

164
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.519
keeps getting injured. It's all unfortunate. We have to have backup plans.

165
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.039
So you throw out the three situations
there in front of you, pick which

166
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:41.039
one you would want. You have
Olive Era or Volk three or the current

167
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:48.240
BMF holder Justin Gaigie. The more
explosive one would certainly be the guy who

168
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.559
delivered a headkick to Dustin Poorier and
gained the BMF strap, which would be

169
00:14:52.679 --> 00:15:01.960
Justin Gaichie Islam throwing the headkick that
allowed him to retain his you Lightweight Championship

170
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:07.480
belt. And I'm wondering if just
the idea is other that I'm not saying

171
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.120
it, but maybe I should.
Do you want Islam to be the best,

172
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.679
because really, if you look at
what he's done recently versus what John

173
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:22.120
Jones has done, and since he
was able to beat the most recent pound

174
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.759
for pound best, which is Volkanovsky, why is he not ranked as the

175
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.840
number one pound for pound guy.
And I'll get to John Jones in just

176
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.000
a minute. It's just when I
say that all of these options that are

177
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.919
in front of you, even Justin
Gatchee has put out there in his recent

178
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:45.039
tweet that I have a large hill
to climb facing Islam, the same guy

179
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.159
who fell to Kobeb nor Maga Metov. I mentioned this in my last episode

180
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:54.519
about this is Islam being Kobeb two
point zero. You don't want Islam to

181
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.440
be the best, or do you? I have a feeling there's plenty of

182
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:00.679
you that don't want him to be
the best. But when we look at

183
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:07.799
our options, the battlements are crumbling
with Vulk, with Charles Olivera, with

184
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:14.120
Justin Geechee, we always have to
go to backup plans. When it comes

185
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:21.120
to Olivera, we have Gaechie who
has another option that was laid out for

186
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.799
him this week. Because just when
you think you figured out the world of

187
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:29.240
MMA, you never know who's going
to show up. And I'll say that

188
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:36.519
for a second. So moving forward
into the Madison Square Garden conundrum that happened

189
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:42.320
recently, John Jones is out of
the fight with Steve Amyochic. It's off

190
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.360
step A and Jones fighting for legacy. Had a good feel to it.

191
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:56.240
I wasn't looking forward particularly to seeing
step A be defeated by John Jones,

192
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.879
which I fully anticipate to happen.
But for whatever reason, Jones out,

193
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:06.200
mostly with an injury or a proclaimed
injury. Whatever the case is, you

194
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:11.880
got an interim title that stepped in
and now it's gonna be between the two

195
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:17.559
top guys in the heavyweight division,
one with some of the fastest hands in

196
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:23.960
the entire heavyweight division and another one
who I have said could easily beat John

197
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:34.119
Jones. And I'm willing to say
this, Tom Aspinall versus Sergey Poplovich.

198
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:41.400
This is our new co main event
at Madison Square Garden. Tom Aspinall is

199
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:48.079
a guy who I truly believe could
defeat John Jones. If anybody could stop

200
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:56.039
the hype train that is John Jones, it is Tom Aspinall. And in

201
00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.880
a bizarre way, in a change
of the gall in a turn of events,

202
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:10.640
Tom Aspinall has beaten Jones already without
even throwing a punch, that is,

203
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:15.039
if he beats Sergey Poplovich, because
he's hur holding the interim title,

204
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:25.079
which automatically puts him at the helm
whenever Jones decides to come back. And

205
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:30.640
this is the guy who can do
it. He has been blessed by YFB.

206
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.839
There are many UK fans that are
screaming that this is the guy who

207
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:45.160
can do it. It just comes
down to how many rounds. Could Tom

208
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.920
Asperall go We've seen John Jones go
five rounds. We haven't seen Tom Aspinall

209
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:56.599
do an entire five round fight.
You got a co main event for an

210
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:04.640
interim championship with Sergey Poplovitch. Depending
how long this goes, we might see

211
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:11.599
the tank that is Tom Aspinall.
Thus we still have a great main event

212
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:19.440
that's been moved up the card where
you still have Alex Perea versus Yuri Prohaska,

213
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:26.240
still a fantastic card. Even in
the midst of all that, I

214
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.920
tip my hat to the UFC for
allowing this intim co main event to happen.

215
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:36.160
And just as I'm speaking about Justin
Gatchee, if he doesn't take the

216
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:41.960
shot against Islam, waiting for his
chance, waiting in the wings, there's

217
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.400
a guy that says, hey,
I'm not doing anything anytime soon. If

218
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:51.960
you need somebody to fight, I'll
do it. Because really, I threw

219
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:59.319
out the idea of Bobby Green and
Dan Hooker becoming a BMF bout well,

220
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.799
that's already been scrap simply because one
of the most likable guys in all the

221
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:08.799
UFC, one of the most appreciated
guys in the entire organization known as Max

222
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:14.359
Holloway just stepped forward and said,
hey, justin Gatchee, if you're not

223
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:19.920
doing anything soon, let's go for
the BMF strap just when you think about

224
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.400
this sport figured out. And I
do my best blockhead Nation, I really

225
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.920
do. I try to stay updated
with as much as I can from the

226
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:32.519
sources I believe I can trust as
best as possible, and then in comes

227
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:37.160
Twitter and changes everything in a twenty
four hour period or less time than that,

228
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.519
and then I still have to rearrange
my notes and somehow present to you

229
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:47.960
what is on the horizon. And
I certainly try to do that. But

230
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:53.039
I certainly didn't see Max Holloway coming. But I am not in any way

231
00:20:55.279 --> 00:21:02.920
throwing any egg in Max Holloway's face
is nothing but praise. This is an

232
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:08.000
exciting chapter for the world of mixed
martial arts. Nothing's got my interest.

233
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:12.160
When it comes to Fury versus Nagano, the recap of two ninety four simply

234
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:18.279
comes down to what do we do
now with Islam with the main event out

235
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.279
at two ninety five. We don't
have Jones, we don't have Stepe,

236
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:27.200
but we certainly have Aspenall versus Pavlovitch
for an introim title holder with the BMF

237
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:34.680
title justin Gatge. He's been challenged
none other than the lovable, incredible Max

238
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:41.680
Holloway. Just keeps getting better and
better and the layers continue to be put

239
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:47.759
onto this cake. It just makes
you want a piece of it even more.

240
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:53.200
And that being said, I've got
a World Series Baseball game to watch

241
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.680
