1
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.600
Broadcasting Live, Good Evening, Blockhead
Nation, or Good Afternoon, whatever time

2
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.920
you tune in, I sound like
the Truman Show. Good afternoon, Good

3
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:53.320
evening, and good night. You
are listening to your favorite Blockhead, the

4
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:58.320
only podcast in the podcasting world that
can somehow incorporate the Peanuts comic strip one

5
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:03.600
minute and then be talking MMA and
Warriors inside the Octagon the next. I

6
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.239
am your host. My name is
Brian little As always, thank you so

7
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.000
much for coming by this show just
for a few minutes on your Saturday to

8
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.640
listen to what I have to say, and what you can expect is three

9
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.959
things. Number One, God is
King. Number two, Peanuts is the

10
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.239
single most successful comic strip in American
history. And three Mixed Martial Arts is

11
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.040
the greatest sport under God's hot son. I always talk about that comic.

12
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:32.239
I talk about that sport. But
to begin with sending a happy Mother's Day

13
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.159
round of applause to all of the
mamas out there, whether you are a

14
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.079
podcast listener, whether you are a
podcaster yourself, or any of you that

15
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:45.159
have been to stumble across this Mother's
Day is coming this Sunday. I'll be

16
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.439
spending some time at my church cooking
with the gentleman and really trying to spoil

17
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.400
our ladies. That's a big day
for me to be able to love on

18
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.599
the mothers of our church and also
the love of my own mom, the

19
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.640
Numero Una Senora block Head as well. She will be getting her praise as

20
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.359
well. That is well deserved.
But I hope that as we love on

21
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.479
moms, I think it's fair to
look at a few times that moms have

22
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:19.680
been discussed or have been implied on
the Peanuts, and I want you to

23
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.960
know that they have. One example
I will use is Charlie Brown All Stars,

24
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:32.400
and I will also use a checks
Mix commercial. Yes, many times

25
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.240
in the past in old commercials,
some of all might I've seen in your

26
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.960
lifetime of MetLife where you would see
Charlie Brown and the Gang represent the insurance

27
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.439
company. But that's just one of
many, even old Cadillac models, so

28
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.919
they have been on TV slots many
times. But I'm gonna use a checks

29
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:57.879
Mix example on this one. So
to begin with, to kind of kill

30
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.360
two birds with one stone, not
even kill them, but make sure that

31
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.759
I hit two points right off the
bat. Is Happy Mother's Day to everybody,

32
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.840
But we have Charlie Brown, known
as the roundheaded kid, who is

33
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:15.120
trying to drum up support for his
baseball team. He's the manager, and

34
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:20.120
they never win a game. And
in Charlie Brown All Stars, there is

35
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.840
a point to where he has asked
Lioness to do a scouting report. I've

36
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.080
talked about this a few times before, but if you never heard it,

37
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:30.360
here's how it goes. Lions goes
in scouts the opposition, and he comes

38
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.000
back up with the scouting import and
says, I watched this team practice and

39
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:37.120
they are awful. And just when
you have that ray of hope, he

40
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.560
starts to give the breakdown. He
goes into the details. They have a

41
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:46.919
loudmouse center fielder that can't catch anything. Sounds like lucy. You also have

42
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.439
some animal with a funny nose at
second base that can't even throw a ball.

43
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:57.199
Oh, we might have a problem
here, slight miscommunication. And he

44
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.199
describes Charlie Brown like this, and
their picture is this kind of round headed

45
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.280
kid who is absolutely no good at
all. And you see them all exclaimed

46
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:10.199
at the top of the lungs.
You scouted your own team. So that

47
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:15.719
kind of gets the round headed kid
discussion going. But in that same episode,

48
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.120
this poor roundheaded kid who's trying to
be a good pitcher and a good

49
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:25.000
manager, tries to send the first
pitch right over the plate, and he

50
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.040
does. If you watch what he
says, first pitch the season, gotta

51
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:33.240
get this one right over the plate. There it is right over the plate

52
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.600
and clear over the backstop, which
of course causes Lucy to come to the

53
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.120
mountain to cost him for it.
What kind of pitcher throws the first game

54
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.800
the season clear over the backstop?
And you better be careful next time,

55
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.360
Charlie Brown, because you almost hit
my mother, who happens to be watching.

56
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:58.040
And that same mother apparently had bought
Lucy this beautiful dress with a huge

57
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:03.240
sash of sugar pink satin. I
say that only because she's explaining her purchase,

58
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:10.319
and somehow she catches the ball when
she's not paying attention to the game.

59
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.439
When she's talking about fashion, she
puts her best foot forward. That

60
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.519
happened in Charlie Brown All Stars.
So that episode there are many mentions of

61
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:26.480
mothers in the background, specifically Lucy's
mom. Now to get to Charlie Brown's

62
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:31.240
mother, there was a nineteen ninety
two Checks Mix commercial. It starts off.

63
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:36.839
You hear the trombone in the background
Brown and you can see Charlie Brown

64
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:42.759
with a mouthful of checks Mix and
going what mom, And then he realizes

65
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.680
that he wasn't supposed to be eating
the checks Mix. This was for the

66
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:54.199
guests for their party. Talk about
a major good grief which will lead to

67
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.639
Sally saved the dance saying, don't
worry, we'll make some more. She

68
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.720
brings Charlie Brown into the kid and
they get their bags and he says,

69
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.839
but I don't even know how to
make toast. That's a play on words.

70
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:10.319
That's a call back to other times
that we've talked about his inability to

71
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.160
cook. Blockin knows how to cook
when he has to, let's just put

72
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.439
it that way, but Charlie Brown
completely helpless. But either way, as

73
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.680
they start to go through the ingredien, she's like, just take the ingredients,

74
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:26.600
take the checks mix, take the
spices in the seasoning, put him

75
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.399
into a bag, you shake it, then you put it in the bowl

76
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.319
and it goes into the microwave.
So it's very fast and it's very efficient.

77
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:39.959
And they have a completed new bowl
of checks Mix, and you hear

78
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.480
in the background, Bob Brown or
blah blah blah baha. So the guests

79
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:50.000
aren't coming, we can eat the
party checks mix all right, which ends

80
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:55.959
with a pretty fun evening. So
have there been times that mothers have been

81
00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.240
honored and have been introduced into the
Peanuts? Yes, they have that when

82
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.439
you kind of have to comb through
if you look for it. So I've

83
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.519
got them from TV specials. I
got them from commercials. There are some

84
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:11.160
comic strips where you do have mom
disgust, but you don't really hear much

85
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.920
about her. Sometimes you hear them
come in and be that discipline parent.

86
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.480
It's there, I promise you,
so Happy Mother's Day to everybody that happens

87
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.079
to listen to everybody that has a
mom that they're gonna go hug their neck

88
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.959
today or the day that Mother's Day
comes around. I want to make sure

89
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.480
that you know they were acknowledged and
loved on this show. And of course,

90
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.079
Tralia round once again as that roundheaded
kid that just can't catch a break.

91
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:38.360
Now, this roundheaded blockhead is about
to bring something to you. I

92
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:43.519
think it's time to reintroduce the parable
of peanuts. What do I mean by

93
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.360
that? When I say God is
king. When I can talk to you

94
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.519
not only about my faith walk,
but something that matters to me, I

95
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:54.000
will do it, and I try
to save it. Midway through the show,

96
00:07:54.839 --> 00:08:00.160
I've talked about peanuts. Now now
it's time to get serious. I'm

97
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:05.279
really introduce my scripture of the day
a little bit early because something has been

98
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.439
bothering me for a while and I'm
bringing it to the surface. We have

99
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:18.680
got, unfortunately, more tragedies,
more shootings. They have taken place in

100
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:20.800
our stay of Texas. Those that
are listening, you know that I'm outside

101
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:28.199
of the Dallas Fort Worth area,
and we have more empty chairs at the

102
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.679
dinner table. And I really want
to come on and say thoughts and prayers.

103
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.600
And the second that I say that, you're going to have the opposition

104
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.960
that says I'm suping tired of hearing
about prayers and thoughts for the family.

105
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.360
Here we go with that same bread
that's going to do absolutely nothing. Let

106
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.399
us back up just for a second, because here's my scripture of the day,

107
00:08:52.559 --> 00:09:00.919
Joshua twenty four, verse fifteen.
And if it is evil in your

108
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:07.480
eyes to serve the Lord, choose
this day whom you will serve, Whether

109
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.360
the gods your father served in the
region beyond the river or the gods of

110
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.720
the Amorites, and whose land you
dwell. But as for me and my

111
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.360
house, we will serve the lord. Man has the capacity of choice,

112
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:28.159
a god given capacity. I'm not
going to sit here and tell you that

113
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.080
just go into my knees and praying
that lords will be done is enough.

114
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:39.120
But I will tell you when you
say something like that, it tells me

115
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.919
in many ways that you are saying, I'd rather give a prayer to my

116
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:52.600
father who art in Washington. I'm
seeing Joe Biden and our presidency and the

117
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.759
cabinet talk about how Congress needs to
do something immediately. Please tell me the

118
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.960
last time that the United States government
has been efficient in anything that they have

119
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.279
done. Now, do you deliberately
mean to say that when you try to

120
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.919
attack prayers and thoughts. Maybe not, Maybe you're not thinking about it in

121
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.960
the same lens that I'm wearing.
But I want you to say, here's

122
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.399
what we need to get back to. It's not you wonder where it's coming

123
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.200
from. It's not coming from Washington, DC. It's coming from a podcast

124
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.200
of a guy who does peanuts and
m and a material I acknowledge my weaknesses,

125
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.399
and as time for men and women
in this nation to acknowledge your weaknesses

126
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:37.559
before a God that has continued to
show if you trust him and trust his

127
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.720
prophecies, there is a bright future
for you. If you are dependent on

128
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.879
America to get better. At this
point, you have forgotten about something called

129
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:54.840
science. The second law of thermodynamics
clearly says that order eventually becomes disorder,

130
00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:01.679
not the other way around. Now
should I just pray for the victims?

131
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.000
No? Should I have some actions? Yes? I should. It's time

132
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.399
to not only pray, It's time
to hit our knees. It's time to

133
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.919
open the word. It's time to
get back to the moment of courageous men

134
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.840
and women. And I admit my
weaknesses. Like there was a guy in

135
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.320
the Bible named Sampson that allowed lust, entitlement, pride to get the best

136
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.679
of him. We need to get
back to not only prayer, but confession

137
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:33.600
and what the word actually says about
what direction we're going. If you are

138
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.080
going the route of it's time to
get up and do something. Are you

139
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:43.519
praying to God or do you praying
to your president? You tell me and

140
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.120
tell me which one's been more efficient. Knowing that the future is brighter when

141
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.559
you believe that there will be a
time that our Savior comes back and establish

142
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.840
as a new Jerusalem. Might be
a better way to go, because I

143
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.120
have a whole lot less fear than
when I turn off the television and I

144
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:09.440
spend time realizing that as for me
and my house, we will serve the

145
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.240
Lord. Now my cost to anybody
in particular, this is a blanket statement.

146
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.000
This is me saying it is time
for us to get back to men

147
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:24.440
and women of courage. Are you
going to allow fear to dictate your life

148
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.679
or you're going to allow the promises
that have continued from Old Testament through New

149
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:33.320
Testament and that there will be a
returning as the vision that John had in

150
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:41.720
Revelation. I'm more than happy to
help you. Turn off the news,

151
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:48.399
stop getting involved in the cesspool of
politics, stop believing that that's going to

152
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.639
come from that direction. If you
want to roll up your sleeves and get

153
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:58.080
to work, I understand that,
and I respect that, but don't tell

154
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:05.120
me that my prayers are not enough. I stand on prayer. I stand

155
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.279
on commitment to prayer. I stand
on commitment to the word. I stand

156
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:15.879
on commitment to loving each other and
discipleship in locking arms and moving forward in

157
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.159
a world that desperately needs to realize
that. As for me and my house,

158
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.360

You'll find that in the blog the

170
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:31.799
notes for today's show. Let's get
back to the episode now. If you

171
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.320
will allow me to Blockhead Nation,
let me see if I can set the

172
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:41.759
stage. It's hard to know who's
tuning in to the second half, whether

173
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.600
you're an MMA fan, or whether
you are a friend of the show,

174
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.240
or whether you're just now stumbling across
this podcast. I'm gonna do my best

175
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:56.279
to see if I can portray the
theater that took place that in a way

176
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:03.360
makes me question so much about the
sport. Okay, we had UFC two

177
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:09.840
eighty eight. The main event is
bantam weight championship on the line. Al

178
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:18.519
Jermaine Sterling, current day bantam weight
champion, facing the returning Henry Sahudo,

179
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.480
well established Olympic champion who retired when
he was on top of his game and

180
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:30.000
now he's come back to face Al
Jermaine Sterling for the title. This has

181
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:37.200
been talked about in other venues before
leading up to this, and regardless of

182
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:43.320
the event itself, the entire five
rounds, which were razor close, I've

183
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:48.480
heard some say that Henry Sehudo should
have won. Henry Sehudo has watched it

184
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.320
back and he said, I don't
understand how I lost this either way.

185
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.000
Al Jermaine Sterling does have a very
good MMA. I q he's able to

186
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:03.000
anticipate a lot of things. It's
it almost came to fruition what Corey Sanhagen

187
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:10.639
talked about, they're gonna nullify each
other. He wasn't wrong. The scorecards

188
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:17.879
are questionable in different avenues. But
here's where everything picks up. We have

189
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.679
the decision split. Decision goes to
al Jemaine Sterling. He's defended this championship

190
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:30.240
many times in what is arguably the
Arguably the two best divisions in the UFC

191
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.240
are the bantam weights and the Flight
and the lightweights. Those tend to be

192
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:38.840
the most discussed. I would probably
say it's the bantom weights either way.

193
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:49.679
To continue the story in walks,
Sean O'Malley known as the Sugar Show.

194
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:57.440
Sugar Showan O'Malley a guy who the
MMA marketing machine really wants to get behind.

195
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:03.279
This guy can put a lot of
eyes on the product. Okay,

196
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:08.200
Sean O'Malley comes in, he gets
And what's funny about that is normally in

197
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:15.359
the past in UFC, if somebody
is summoned to the cage, it would

198
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:22.759
be by call out of the athlete. When Tito Ortez called for Chuck Ladell

199
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:29.000
many years ago and had that altercation
inside of the cage that close to melee.

200
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.160
When George Saint Pierre was invited into
the cage with Matt Hughes, that

201
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.319
current day welterweight champion of the time, they were usually called in by the

202
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:44.319
athlete. Daniel Cormier calls in brock
Lesner after defeating Steve amyochs, I'm just

203
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:49.720
sharing with you there's a track record
here, not this time. Joe Rogan,

204
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:59.359
who is doing the interview, calls
in Sean O'Malley and it almost looks

205
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:04.440
like Sean malley is positioned waiting for
her to be introduced in. Now Algeman

206
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.039
Sterling knows he's coming. He's sitting
there waiting on him. What are you

207
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:15.559
waiting for? Let's bring him in, and he gets prompted by Joe Rogan.

208
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:22.680
They come face to face. Algeman
Sterling and Sean O'Malley's team have cluttered

209
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:29.000
up the inside of the cage.
Now here's where it gets interesting, and

210
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.920
here's where things become debatable. This
is where we almost can look through the

211
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:41.039
crystal ball and go is this a
crossover from WWE, Because as you know,

212
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.359
the UFC was bought. I'm assuming
most of you know the UFC and

213
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:49.680
WB are now are the under the
same umbrella under the merger of the Endeavor

214
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.680
Company, which eventually will become a
different ticker symbol on the stock market,

215
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.640
which will be dollar signed t KO
either way, that hasn't happened yet,

216
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:03.160
but it will apparently do time.
So now they're under the same market And

217
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:10.000
Sean O'Malley comes in. Alsaman Sterling's
on the microphone, and there's a lot

218
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.720
of trash talking back and forth.
There is getting up each other's grill,

219
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:22.480
and Sean O'Malley is wearing a Michael
Jackson style red jacket. I don't want

220
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.200
to just stereotype these jackets right off
the bat, but if you look at

221
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:32.799
it, it looks like he's about
to go do a rendition of Thriller wearing

222
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:37.079
this red jacket. Looks pretty good
on him, actually, I'll tell you

223
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.960
who looks better on In a moment, he starts to take his jacket off,

224
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:47.240
and I'm not sure if he realized
what he was doing. This is

225
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:51.160
where it gets hazy. I'm not
sure if he knows what he was doing,

226
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.359
but he's taking the jacket off and
he hands it to the left and

227
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:03.079
morab De Wallis Evie. Now let
me help you out again. I'm stopping

228
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.839
so many places here just so I
can pinpoint everything about this. Ma Rob

229
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:14.480
is the number one ranked bantamweight in
the world right now. He's coming fresh

230
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:19.039
off a fight against Pewter Yawn where
he absolutely dominated a former bantamweight champion.

231
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:26.079
M Rob is very good. Okay, so how are you gonna pronounce his

232
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.799
name? Devas Dwadashvie? Ma Rob
is a little easier to say. Ma

233
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:36.519
Rob takes the jacket. Okay.
Now, you got Dana White to one

234
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:41.599
side, and you got one of
the committeemen, maybe part of the Athletic

235
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.519
Commissions, whoever this gentleman is.
There's a gap between Dana and this gentleman

236
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:49.599
and Marob is right there. And
as the jackets being handed to the left,

237
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:57.920
ma Rob takes the jacket. He
puts on the jacket while these two

238
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:03.519
are going at it. It okay. In a way, this almost looks

239
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:08.440
like if you watched one of those
old Bugs Bunny cartoons where the guys come

240
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.559
up to him, somebody goes where'd
he go? Where'd you go? Where'd

241
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.160
you go? And the antagonist goes, he went that way, and the

242
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:22.559
guys look one direction and pure off
goes. Whoever the character is, whether

243
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.599
there's Bugs Bunny, whether it's Daffy
Duck, whether it is some other less

244
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.599
known character. You know what I'm
talking about. Which way did he go?

245
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.720
He went that way? Eyes are
looking one direction and mo Rob.

246
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.720
If you watch the camera angle,
he's got the jacket on. Now he's

247
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:42.799
standing between these two, between Sean
O'Malley and al Jamine Sterling as they're yelling

248
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.400
at each other, and he's standing
there with the jacket on, and he's

249
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:55.319
laughing. And in a split second, well Rob leaves exit, stays right,

250
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.240
and he jumps the cage. He
straddles the cave and puts his fists

251
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:06.920
high in the air. He rejoiced
in that moment more than he did with

252
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.279
his victory against Pewter Yawn. Go
back and do a comparison if you want

253
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.599
to. He's a very respectful guy. He's a very humble type of fighter.

254
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:22.319
He's dangerous and another catch to all
this is al Jamaine Sterling and Marob

255
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.240
are on the same team, their
training partners, and they have vowed to

256
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:30.279
never face each other for the belt, even though technically if he went by

257
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.759
the ranking system. Marob should be
facing al Jermaine Sterling next. They're on

258
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:40.359
the same team, but incomes number
two ranked more likely to put more eyes

259
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:45.480
on the product, which is Sean
O'Malley. But in this moment, Marob

260
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:52.079
and this red jacket become the stars
of the show. Is there somebody we're

261
00:22:52.119 --> 00:23:00.000
forgetting here? Yes, we're forgetting
about the guy who just lost the fight.

262
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:04.319
We're forgetting about Henry Sahudo. Henry
Sahudo is in the corner talking with

263
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:11.880
Dana White about to take his gloves
off. When you take your gloves off

264
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.559
inside the case, you have solidified
that you were going into retirement. You

265
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.640
may not have spoken into existence,
but you were saying, I'm about to

266
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:23.319
retire from this sport. Henry Sahudo
is a guy. He's shown it so

267
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.599
many times that if he can't be
number one, he doesn't want to be

268
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.680
there. He very much believes in
the philosophy of step up or step aside.

269
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.880
That's Henry Sahudo regardless if you like
his demeanor, you like his promos,

270
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.680
which I don't. But as far
as his athleticism, if he can't

271
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.680
be number one, he has that
moment. I'm not wanting to do and

272
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:49.960
as he's taking his gloves off,
something makes him stop. Morab putting on

273
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:56.599
this red jacket. Fade to black, the credits roll, and in the

274
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.359
next twenty four hours, we're looking
on Twitter and Henry Shudo is saying,

275
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:06.079
I want a piece of Marob.
If Sean O'Malley and al Jamaine Sterling are

276
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:10.160
tied up for a championship about I
want my hands on the number one contender.

277
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:15.519
There's something about this guy who just
debode the number two ranked bantam Wade,

278
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.559
one of the most marketable guys in
the UFC, and he's wearing this

279
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:22.759
red jacket. He's going, I
want a piece of that again. I

280
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.440
want to get back in on this
action. This piece of theater has me

281
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:33.720
interested again. I hope you see
that the star of the show was Morob

282
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:41.279
and this red jacket. But the
question now becomes is this a crossover of

283
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.359
WWE storylines? Because if we knew
that this kind of thing was coming,

284
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:52.160
we've already seen former UFC fighters go
to the w W Kane Velosquez shows up

285
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.279
to face Martin brock Lessner. The
story carries over from the UFC. These

286
00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:59.640
are just off the top of my
head. Jake Hagar from belat or MMA

287
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.079
comes back and I think he's in
AW or something like that, and he

288
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:07.400
represents Bellatour. This has happened before
with other people that have gone into the

289
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:12.720
UFC or MMA. Bob lash Bobby
Lashley has done it, Quentin Rampage Jackson

290
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:18.519
has done this with I think TNA
was the time he's in. So either

291
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.119
way, even though my background in
wrestling maybe a little bit hazy, what

292
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:30.680
I'm saying is, was this something
that was scripted and it's crossed over into

293
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:37.039
the UFC, or was Sean o'matley
really this naive, this stupid to hand

294
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.720
over his jacket and now the number
one ranked guy is wearing your private property

295
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:47.799
and the commission is telling Marob to
get off the cage and get like a

296
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:51.279
teacher in between two students. Give
him back his property, give him back

297
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:56.279
his jacket. Because now that Marob
has running exit stage right, it's almost

298
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:59.880
like the he went, what way, what the he's got my jacket?

299
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:07.319
That's Sean O'Malley. Sean O'Malley has
had the grasp of reality that this guy

300
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:12.440
just deep with my jack This guy
literally stole my thunder and I spent most

301
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:18.480
of part two of this podcast walking
you through this theater. That's got me

302
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.319
interested, but it's got me confused
at the same time. How could Sean

303
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:29.680
O'Malley have done this on accident?
How could these guys have separated where Dana

304
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:33.720
and this commissioner give enough room for
him to hand the jacket and Rob takes

305
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:38.880
it. It makes me question so
much about this event to where I barely

306
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:44.079
have any time to talk about Unfortunately, what happened to Dana. So not

307
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:48.400
Dana, but Tony Ferguson. This
one really hurts to know that Tony Ferguson,

308
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.680
a year after facing Michael Chandler,
has got a d y. It's

309
00:26:52.720 --> 00:27:00.400
not having to go to court the
the heartbreak is real here Tony first and

310
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:04.759
such a warrior to hit one of
these low lows. We'll see how that

311
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:11.279
transpires. There are a few fight
nights coming up that are really not that

312
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.640
intriguing, but there are great fights
like Dale Rodriguez and Ian Gary that really

313
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.640
have my attention. I really want
to check out to mention. After all

314
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.240
this happens, you get back to
Las Vegas, Dana White gets pulled over

315
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.920
by the cops. There's an actual
YouTube, Instagram, Twitter video of him

316
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.400
sitting in his car with red and
blue lights flashing behind him. He's going,

317
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.839
well, I'm home again, welcome
back to Vegas as he's being pulled

318
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:41.799
over by Las Vegas' finest. It's
quite hilarious to hear. We did have

319
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:47.599
a actual stare down between Jake Paul
and Nate Diaz that got a little bit

320
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:51.680
hey wire, got a little bit
out of controlment. But then again,

321
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:55.200
it just makes you go this one
seems to be hyped up for the sake

322
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:57.359
of the event itself. But you
know, either way, Jake Paul and

323
00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:02.839
Nate Diaz is still apparently on even
through all the snagans that happened with Logan

324
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.599
Paul, and you know, again
that's another story for itself with these boxers

325
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:11.319
and with once again Jake Paul clearly
having a puncher's chance against someone like Nate

326
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.240
Diaz, who is not really in
the who's getting into the twilight years of

327
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.759
his career, and he can only
use his left and his right. He

328
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:21.720
can't use every tool that he's got
in the world of MMA. He can

329
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:26.160
only box at this point, but
that should be in due time. We'll

330
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.519
see how that plays out either way. The star of the story Morob and

331
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.279
the Red Jacket, and I hope
to talk to you guys next week with

332
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:40.279
some more intriguing things on the horizon. You've seen may have not some great

333
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:42.240
events coming up, but they got
some great fights coming up in the future,

334
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:45.119
and I'll keep you in tune on
what you should be looking out for.
