WEBVTT

1
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.960
Broadcasting Live. Good afternoon, Blockhead
Nation, and thank you for stopping by.

2
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:53.039
Once again. You are listening to
your favorite Blockhead the only podcast in

3
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:58.280
the podcasting world that can somehow incorporate
the Peanuts comic strip one minute and then

4
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.960
be talking about MMA and Warriors inside
the Octagon the next. I am your

5
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.439
host. My name is Brian Little. And to begin with if you have

6
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.760
a chance, there is a link
that's in the blog today, your favorite

7
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:15.239
blockhead dot com slash blog. I
have the honor and the privilege to join

8
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.799
Erskine, Navatarte and Jason on the
Way Forward podcast. I had so much

9
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.239
fun going on that show and just
talking about what's been overlooked when it comes

10
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.599
to the causes of the Civil War. We had a great conversation. They

11
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.920
gave me, they rolled out the
red carpet, they gave me full ability

12
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.920
just to talk about anything and everything
that I wanted to discuss. So I'm

13
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.840
forever grateful to Erskine and the Way
Forward Podcast. So that's actually usually live.

14
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.480
You see it on Facebook Live.
It's on YouTube, so the link

15
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.480
is available. We're gonna go check
it out. Second of all, I

16
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.560
maybe jumping the gun a little bit
but technically it is my network. So

17
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.719
I'm gonna go ahead and say this. We have a new addition to the

18
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:01.920
YFB network. Drumroll please, the
newest addition the wife network the Empty Slate

19
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:08.240
podcast. These guys have hit episode
ten. They're going live tonight with episode

20
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:13.919
ten and continuing on. And that's
always been the criteria to be part of

21
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.039
the network. If you want to
cultivate your audience and do this right first

22
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.560
all you're gonna make a past episode
ten. They have every intention of moving

23
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.479
forward. You have to be consistent, you have to be authentic, you

24
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.280
have to be willing to promote other
shows. To be part of the YFB

25
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.840
network. This is a very selfless
world that we've gone into as we cultivate

26
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:37.840
our audience and continue down the road
with podcasting. So these guys are very

27
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.360
much qualified to be part of this. Formerly The Burnout with Chris Barnett,

28
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.599
Loud to Pay and and ze Own
Russell, they have merged together two very

29
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.439
reckless worlds colliding into a unique and
perfect combination for the Empty Slates. So

30
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:53.680
they have to get those out of
the way. Of that being said,

31
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:00.840
I mentioned to a few of you
that the saga is going to continue.

32
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:07.840
I talked about last week a not
as known character from Alison Wonderland. Whether

33
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.240
you're talking the classic from back in
the days of early Disney Vintage from the

34
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.360
Vault, or if we're talking about
the newer animated one. This is a

35
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:23.120
character that is on the verge of
psychosis in many ways. But the Cheshire

36
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.719
Cat had to have been very relevant
to the time. It had to have

37
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.159
been popular with kids, Otherwise Charles
Schultz probably would not have used it.

38
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.960
Just like many times he referenced one
of his favorite movies of all time,

39
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.599
which is Citizen Kane. He would
throw that into the comic strip. There

40
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.599
must have been something about the Cheshire
Cat, so I thought I would mention

41
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.599
that comic strip and move on.
I was wrong. The Chessire Beagle is

42
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:53.599
very real. Snoopy has been able
to use the same camouflage that the Cheshire

43
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.960
Cat used. Now to help you
out Alice in Wonderland before she meets the

44
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.120
Mad Hatter and they go to the
tea party and all that. There's a

45
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:06.280
cat that is very much off the
wall, bonkers in many ways. ADHD

46
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:11.439
can't keep a conversation too long in
one place. But when you first see

47
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.919
him in both the classic and the
new reanimated one. You can see that

48
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:21.240
it just has eyes and teeth,
and the teeth actually play like piano keys.

49
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:27.000
It's very eerie. It's very creepy
in many ways. But he's a

50
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.959
precursor, almost like an appetizer to
the Mad Hatter, and he is in

51
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.720
many ways very demonic. But if
you look at it, Snoopy's able to

52
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.560
do it in a way he is. The chests are beagle. Therefore,

53
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:46.600
the saga continues. There's a comic
strip where Linus is reading Alice in Wonderland

54
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.839
and rein the original book of the
Amazing Tales of Alice coming back from the

55
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:56.720
original Fables, and it talks about
the cat, and this time vanished quite

56
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.720
slowly, and you can see Snoopy
smiling in the back where when Linus turns

57
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:08.519
around, he is completely freaked out
because all you see is the white background

58
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:15.480
and you see a smiling face.
What is Snoopy's response. I've been able

59
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.560
to do that for years, so
there had to have been a continuation of

60
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.839
this saga. I had to make
sure that I did that on this podcast,

61
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.000
just to be fair. And if
you continue on what I love about

62
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.600
the Charles Schultz Museum is if you
need old comics to be resurfaced, you

63
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.199
can easily follow that. They recirculate
them all the time on their Facebook,

64
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:40.879
on their Instagram. As you can
tell, there's a Dog Coming Home exhibit

65
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.480
that's coming out of the Charles Schultz
Museum, So they used an excerpt from

66
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.079
nineteen ninety four. In nineteen ninety
four, I just said that my dog

67
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:53.279
has come home. Now, that's
nothing new. If we go back to

68
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:59.279
the seventies, there's a famous TV
special called Snoopy Come Home. Now.

69
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.040
Granted, in this scene, it's
feel good. You can see Charlie Brown

70
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:09.199
landing in Snoopy on the doghouse,
and it's that feel good, euphoric moment.

71
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:15.920
Not so much at the end of
Snoopy Come Home. Why because when

72
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.800
it's all said and done, when
he is reintroduced to his old crew and

73
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:27.360
he's back upon his doghouse, he
had left with some stipulations. So when

74
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:34.839
he comes home, he's expecting everything
that he gave his compadres to return his

75
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:42.839
things. For example, Linus was
expected to return his croquet set, Schroeder

76
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.879
was expected to return his record collection, and I believe the words were,

77
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.120
and I quote forthwith in good order
and within thirty days or the matter will

78
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.439
be handed over to my attorney,
which I yes, I assumed the attorney

79
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:59.279
would probably be Woodstock or somebody of
that extent. I don't know why I'm

80
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.560
clapping right there. I guess I'll
just keep that for the sake of allowing

81
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.000
you all to know that I'm not
perfect all the time. But that just

82
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:12.160
kind of shows in many ways the
unmitigated moxie that is Snoopy, Yeah,

83
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:14.759
I'm home, but I don't want
my stuff back, and Charlie Brown,

84
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.079
since you gave me nothing, you
owe me nothing. And as they end

85
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.680
the episode, that says, he
is your dog and you are welcome to

86
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:28.920
him. So yes, we go
back to square ONEm with Snoopy annoying everybody.

87
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.959
So I had to make sure I
mentioned the chess are a beagle as

88
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.639
the saga continues, had to make
sure that I mentioned the dog home comment

89
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:40.639
that resurfaced on the Charles Sheltz Museum
from nineteen ninety four, which is feel

90
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.639
good, but it's only one part
of the story. When Snoopy comes home,

91
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.240
he wants his things back. He
had said, you can take all

92
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.680
these things. But if he returns, then that is a there's a new

93
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:56.360
stipulation in place. That's a what
a violation, I guess you say.

94
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:01.120
But a third thing, I have
a friend of mine that is just as

95
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.959
big of a Peanuts fan as I
am, and it was brought to my

96
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.079
attention that we just had Arbor Day. If you're not familiar with arbor Day,

97
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.680
that really ties back into the time
period where the CCC was a reality,

98
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.439
the Severe Conservation Corps, where we
got to put people back to work,

99
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.240
and one of the ways we can
do that is allowing them to plant

100
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:26.399
trees where the dust bowl has torn
up most of the Midwest. So arbor

101
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.560
Day really can be traced back to
that. But there's an entire episode about

102
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.320
arbor Day. Now, what happens? They play on all these trees in

103
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.039
imagine this Charlie Brown's baseball field,
one of them on top of his pitcher's

104
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.960
mound, which is be on insulting
to a manager that can barely keep his

105
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.600
team together, let alone. We
had a game at this point, but

106
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.240
believe or not, the trees actually
worked to the advantage of the home team.

107
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.399
They almost win the game. But
of course, you know how it

108
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.759
is with Charlie Brown. There's a
rain out. That's the reality. But

109
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.320
by the way, we had Happy
Arbor Day. Happy belated Arbor Day to

110
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.399
everybody listening to this show as we
continue on into the wacky world a Mixed

111
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.120
Martial Arts, I thank you for
always tuning in once again. Thank you

112
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.639
to Erskine Avatarte. Be tuning in
tonight for episode ten of the Empty Slate,

113
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.639
and always remember the three things that
come out of this show. Number

114
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.080
one, God is King. Number
two, Peanuts is the single most successful

115
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.399
comic strip in American history. And
now we get to prong three, where

116
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.200
mixed martial Arts is the grayest sport
under God's hot sun. Blockhead Nation,

117
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.120
thank you once again for tuning into
this episode of the your favorite Blockhead podcast.

but your business. Here's the secret. We all want to feel connected to

121
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.039
brands we buy from, and what
better way to humanize a brand than through

122

128
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.960
in the blog the notes for today's
show. Let's get back to the episode.

129
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.120
Our scripture reading for this podcast comes
from Psalm one five, verse fifteen

130
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:56.600
through sixteen. The eyes of all
weight upon thee, and Thou givest them

131
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.360
their meat. In due season,
Thou opens fine hand and satisfy the desires

132
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:07.200
of every living thing. Reflection from
Blue Larra Bible says, the Lord promises

133
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:13.000
to provide for all of our needs. He gives us everything that we ask

134
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.120
of him, as long as it
is according to his will. Now,

135
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.799
as we transition into the world a
mix martial arts, I can just start

136
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.759
with last week. I don't really
have a whole lot more to recap.

137
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.279
I've already talked about Pavlovich has defeated
Blades, which just means that he's in

138
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:37.320
the talks. If we have steep
A versus John Jones at some point this

139
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.960
year, which seems continue to be
pushed back. Then Pablovich is gonna be

140
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.480
waiting in the wings, or if
somebody doesn't make wait, whatever the case

141
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.279
is. Pavlovich is just ranked number
one at this point. But I will

142
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.000
have to go backwards. We've got
about to talk about something controversial or slightly

143
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.039
controversial. Let's see if I can
hit this from every angle. You had

144
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:03.879
a no contest Bobby versus Jared Gordon. This was ruled in the first round

145
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:11.840
a no contest as Jared Gordon could
not continue. Now I've gone back and

146
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.919
watched this as much as I can
just to make sure that I have every

147
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:20.679
aspect, and the only one I'm
truly frustrated with is Keith Peterson. I'm

148
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:26.720
frustrated with the referee who if you
go back, even in the dark days

149
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.679
of the UFC, there had to
be a point where Big John McCarthy comes

150
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.159
forward and says, we've got to
stop allowing some of these things that happen

151
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.200
in the sport of mixed martial arts. We got to stop having these soccer

152
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.200
kicks to the head. We gotta
stop having these twelve to six elbows.

153
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.679
We gotta stop having these. We
got to avoid eye gouge's, crotch shots,

154
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.320
we got to avoid all of the
If you're a ground opponent, then

155
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.960
you shouldn't get a knee to the
head. There's got to be a limit

156
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.759
to everything. And it really started
with him opening his mouth and just speaking

157
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.879
out for the safety of the fighters. There has to be something to that.

158
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.240
And when you watch something like that
with Dmitri, not to Meetris Johnson,

159
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.039
I'm gonna talk about him, I
promise, But when we watch something

160
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:20.200
about Bobby Green and you have Jared
Gordon who just can't catch a break.

161
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:28.080
If you watch it back, ESPN
MMA even showed this where Bobby apparently it

162
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.200
looks like he's throwing a left hook
or he's trying to go in for some

163
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:37.120
kind of an elbow. Jared is
just bobbing his head from both sides in

164
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:43.600
almost a crazy fashion. We have
a head collision. Now. Paul Felder,

165
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.440
who is sitting at cage side,
is yelling, oh, come on

166
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:54.320
now. That one again is kind
of hard to decipher. As Jared Gordon

167
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:00.720
is down, we've had a headbut
that's really hard to determine. First,

168
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.120
as lightning fast as this is.
When you slow it down, it's blatantly

169
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:11.000
adds. But Bobby Green is doing
what he's supposed to do. He's continuing

170
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:16.600
to fight until the ref steps in. You keep fighting. Jared Gordon is

171
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.600
on the canvas. It looks like
he even throws a couple of up kicks

172
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:26.840
or tries to attempt a triangle.
But then next thing you know, he's

173
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.879
not dodging any of the hammer blows
coming from Bobby Green and just putting him

174
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.480
to sleep. And I honestly believe
that's what Paul Felder is yelling about.

175
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:41.360
He's saying, are you going to
allow this to continue? Keith Peterson should

176
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.919
have easily stepped in a lot faster. I could see John McCarthy quickly putting

177
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.279
an end to that after he gets
maybe one one hammer blow to the head,

178
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.519
But as he starts to stiffen out, Bobby's continuing to throw hands.

179
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.399
As a referee for the UFC,
you gotta think for three people, and

180
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:05.480
I just han't defend Keith Peterson for
prolonging Jared Gordon being struck this way.

181
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.639
But again it's a no contest.
Bobby Green is furious. He even says

182
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.879
in the postcovery. Are you sure
you want to know what my feelings are

183
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:20.480
right now? He wants his hundred
thousand, his hundred grand me and he

184
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.279
wanted to have some type of a
bonus for his performance. But again,

185
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:31.440
we have an inadverted headbut we have
head collisions that leads to this unfortunate situation.

186
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.440
It's really hard to determine until you
slow it down. If you watch

187
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.399
from Paul Felder's angle, I can
see if you're watching a guy and continue

188
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.360
to be pummeled, and the referees
just kind of watching bobbing his head and

189
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.960
up and down. I feel like
it was directed at Keith Peterson. But

190
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.639
who is Bobby Green now taken this
out on Paul Felder. He's on the

191
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.320
MMA Hour with Ariel Hawani and saying
that, hey, headbuts happen all the

192
00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:00.399
time. Now. If you want
to watch Bobby Green shoot his promo on

193
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.159
the MMA Hour of Ariel Hwani,
you can see how uneasy Ariel is as

194
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.600
he continues to drop f bombs.
As he continues just to make his way

195
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.200
through. It's almost incoherent to hear
what he has to say. But he's

196
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:18.759
frustrated. He wanted his money.
He felt like he deserved to get paid.

197
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.799
Well, really, that's not how
it works. If it's ruled a

198
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:25.200
no contest, you get your show
up money, but you don't get your

199
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.639
bonus check. But Bobby Green is
not happy about this. So I'm not

200
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.720
really trying to criticize Bobby Green here. It did take him a couple of

201
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.960
days to somewhat cool off and him
to continue to say that he wants to

202
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.720
go after Paul Felder. There's nothing
to build between Bobby Green and Paul Felder.

203
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.919
This is a simple idea. Even
Paul Felder said it as you're getting

204
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.679
to the end. He gave the
perfect idea for this no contest. You

205
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:56.120
run it back and you have your
actual winner. So with the no contact,

206
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.440
it's just an unfortunate situation. And
the only one that I really can't

207
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.640
defend on it is Keith Peterson.
I can defend Bobby Green, I can

208
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:07.519
defend Jared Gordon Man, the guy
just can't catch a break. I can

209
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.359
defend Paul Felder of being irritated.
He doesn't direct it right at Bobby Green.

210
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.000
It's very it's not obvious he's pointed
at Keith Peterson. But I'm pretty

211
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.359
sure. If that's the case,
are you going to protect this fighter or

212
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.480
not? But he mentions in the
end, you run it back and you

213
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.640
solve this. That's an easy fix. But Bobby Green wants his money and

214
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:32.079
sure looks like he's trying to build
up some type of some type of beef

215
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:36.720
between him and Jared Gordon. He's
trying to concoct something out of thin air

216
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:40.480
here. But I had to make
sure that I mentioned that that we had

217
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:45.039
a head collision, no contest.
Bobby Green's furious Jered Gordon. I assume

218
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.680
we will see that again in the
future. If not, I need to

219
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:53.279
have a good reason why Paul Felder
would leave retirement and leave the broadcast both.

220
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:59.440
So when it comes to as I
mentioned earlier, Sergey Povlovitch, you

221
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.119
got a clearly ranked number one guy
six finishes at least I think that's what

222
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.440
it is in the first round,
the fastest hands in the heavyweight division.

223
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:14.880
This is your number one guy steepe
as who John Jones has requested because he's

224
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.319
the champion. We haven't heard much
from him lately, but at some point,

225
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.880
you know, Sergey Popolovitch's are going
to have his hands taped. He's

226
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.640
gonna have his gloves on. He'll
be ready at cage side, ready to

227
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.400
go. Now if I can,
I really want to bring something to your

228
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:36.799
attention from another organization. I want
to talk about one championship, and I

229
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:42.799
got to talk about the rivalry with
one of the greyest flyweights up probably of

230
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:52.279
all time, Demetrius Mighty Mounts Johnson
and his adversary Adriano Marias. They're gonna

231
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:57.160
headline one championship not long from now. I assume this is gonna be May

232
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:04.400
fifth or one championship, will have
their US debut, and we're walking right

233
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:10.440
into a trilogy. Both of these
guys have finished each other with a knee

234
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:18.359
of the head finish, Spectacular spectacles
both of these men. But my heart's

235
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.799
gonna have to go with DJ and
I have to men. Something else too

236
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:30.279
is While that's going on, the
discussion is now, has anybody reginantly seen

237
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:36.359
Francis Nagano? Apparently there are talks
again. This is speculation, mind you,

238
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.519
That's all I can do when it's
somebody's this far off the radar is

239
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.680
they are interested in Nagano? How
do I know? Because Chel Sunnon recently

240
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.960
talked on his podcast with the owner
of One Championship, who said, we're

241
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:53.279
very open to having discussions with Francis
Nagano. This could be easily a huge

242
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:57.400
debut for him. I'm not hearing
anything about it on the debut on May

243
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:04.640
fifth, where DJ and Marias are
running the main card, But is this

244
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:10.039
a possibility? I guess so.
And now I'm hearing the owners saying that

245
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:15.160
the only co promotion that they will
ever do is with the UFC. That's

246
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:21.079
confirmation on who the mothership is.
Belatour is a great opportunity for a lot

247
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:25.680
of fighters. One Championships a great
opportunity for a lot of fires. PFL

248
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:27.920
is a great opportunity for a lot
of fires. There is only one mothership,

249
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:33.559
and that is the Ultimate Fighting Championship
if one is willing to do business

250
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:40.960
only with them. So, now
that I've mentioned DJ Marias and the possibility

251
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.519
of maybe something, y'all going to
check out One Championship. I certainly am.

252
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.480
I'm a huge Demetrius Johnson fan.
We've got some great names coming up

253
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:53.440
on a Belatour event. Coming around
the corner. We got former UFC spectacle

254
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:59.240
known as Gay Guard, MASSAUC can't
wait to see him going to the cage

255
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.279
against against Abe and Edwards. This
is gonna be a great fight, and

256
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.960
even on that main card as another
one of the veterans of the sport who

257
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.559
has never graced a UFC cage,
but it can easily be one of the

258
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:14.720
flagships of Beloitar, which is Douglas
Limo. I'm a Douglas Lima fan.

259
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.720
I'm a Gigard Massaucy fan. I
think it's a great matchup for him and

260
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.920
Fabian Edwards to go at it on
this card, and there are great fights

261
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.799
coming up in the future. You've
got a great main card for a UFC

262
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:33.440
two eighty eight. And I'm not
even getting into Sterling versus Shudo. Henry

263
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.599
Shudo is coming back after what three
years, and you know, I don't

264
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:38.920
think he's so much been on the
couch, but he's certainly done a lot

265
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:42.880
of YouTube content. How often has
he been in the gym. That's really

266
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:47.599
hard to tell. We'll know if
he comes back and he's able to dethrone

267
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.960
al Jamaine Sterling. But you've got
great guys like Drew Dover is gonna be

268
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:59.240
closing the prelimbs. This is a
guy who is easily going to make a

269
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.000
name himself the Flyaways. This is
the guy in the main ways. I

270
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.559
feel like as Matt Hughes two point
zero, this is a wrestler who if

271
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.720
you give him more time, he
is going to dominate. He is so

272
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.680
strong, Oh my goodness, he's
so strong. To know that we have

273
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:17.160
the return of a guy who fell
off the flat side of the earth.

274
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.119
That's a play on words, which
would be Bryce Mitchell, the flat earther

275
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:23.880
guy is coming back and it's gonna
be fun to just hear some promos from

276
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:30.359
Thug Nasty again. You got an
amazing co main event with Gilbert Burns and

277
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.839
Belel Mohammed, the two guys who
Leon Edwards is wighing to see who is

278
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.960
he going to get the face out
of these two. The talk is still

279
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.319
there for kolbe versus Leon Edwards,
But as far as the ranking speaking,

280
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:48.400
you got a serious dog fight between
Burns and Belel Mohammed. These are two

281
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.640
guys that just don't back down and
just have a work ethic and are just

282
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:56.119
absolute killers in the welterweight division.
So and I can say that if Sahudo

283
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.759
is gonna come in the main event, he hopes, I'm pretty sure to

284
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.559
take back what he never lost.
You remember, so Hudo went out on

285
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.559
top. Three years later, here
he is and he wants to face Sterling,

286
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:14.759
but he never lost this title that
he's fighting for. It should be

287
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.039
interesting to watch MMA community and blockhead
Nation, so I hope to keep you

288
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.640
updated as we get closer to that
pay per view. We're going to see

289
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.359
some other stories that transpire and always
stick in with here. If you want
