1
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:45.240
Broadcasting Live good evening, Blockhead Nation, thank you for stopping by the show

2
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.719
once again. I am truly hoping
that wherever you're listening in from, you

3
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:54.640
are having a relaxing and an enjoyable
Memorial Day weekend. You are listening to

4
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:00.479
your favorite Blockhead, the only podcast
and the podcasting world that can somehow incorporate

5
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.400
the Peanuts comic strip one minute and
then be talking about MMA and Warriors inside

6
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.120
the octagon the next. I am
your host. My name is Brian Little

7
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:14.000
Again. Memorial Day. Yes,
it's got its somber moments. Yes,

8
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.040
as a Navy veteran, I will
have my moment to grieve all those that

9
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.560
I personally lost, or if you're
listening in, those of you that have

10
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.760
paid the ultimate sacrifice. We thank
them not only with this day, but

11
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:33.840
with our lives, where we can
just be the best citizens we can possibly

12
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:40.200
be to honor their ultimate tribute to
our nation. So wherever you're coming from,

13
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.680
I hope you are enjoying yourselves.
You're out there on the lake,

14
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.640
you're out there enjoying a barbecue.
Either way, I do wish you the

15
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.680
best, and I pray that you're
safe and sensible on this Memorial Day weekend

16
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.959
whenever you tune in. And I'm
also thankful so much that so many of

17
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.920
you have been a huge part of
this podcast. Whether it's just been a

18
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.560
download where it's been a rating on
Apple or Spotify, whether it's been purchasing

19
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.159
merchandise or attribute to the kofee page, A lot of you have donated on

20
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.759
that, and I really want you
to know you have been a big part

21
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.719
of this journey. It means a
lot. It's allowed to even to branch

22
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:22.879
out to other podcasters called the YFB
Network, where we cross promote each other,

23
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.759
We show each other love on our
shows and you know, just talk

24
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.039
about the work that they're doing.
So if you get a chance, there

25
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.520
is a link called the YFB Network. If you go to the blog,

26
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.319
I promise you'll take you right to
any of those shows you want to listen

27
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.639
to. They're all worth your time. And to begin with, I have

28
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.319
to ask you this question, are
any of you that are listening fans of

29
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:52.800
golf or do you play golf?
Now? I'm not sure if Charles Schultz

30
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.719
had any experience in golfing himself,
but I can pretty much contemplate that he

31
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.159
did have experience in minute or golf. And to begin with, I happened

32
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:13.719
to be absolutely the worst golfer probably
in the history of America. I say

33
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:19.560
that because I was actually in Hawaii
when I did say that, when I

34
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.240
did actually play the game. I
can tell you honestly that whoever the golf

35
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:30.479
instructors we had on that day,
I guarantee they earned their paycheck just trying

36
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.159
to keep up with me and help
me to get things figured out on my

37
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.680
golf card. And I was by
myself. I admit, I just I

38
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.080
wanted to get away from the ship
and there's nobody else wanted to go,

39
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.680
and I wanted to say that I
have played golf in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

40
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.560
I can say that. Let's not
even talk about my scorecard, but

41
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.280
I will admit there was one high
point that the guy told me, I

42
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.319
want you to get in the green
on this hit. So I followed all

43
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.680
their instructions. I followed through with
my swing. I stayed calm and relaxed,

44
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.960
and next thing, you know,
said good swing. They went,

45
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.479
you're in the green. Now.
I can't remember if I putted my way

46
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.520
into a par on that one.
I really don't remember, Okay, but

47
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.639
to say that if you invite me
to go play golf, I'm probably gonna

48
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.920
tell you, hey, I'll catch
you doing something something else down the road.

49
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.120
Let's watch a UFC fight, or
maybe let's go fishing or something like

50
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.560
that. But I'm not really interested
in playing golf. But if we talk

51
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.839
miniature golf, then absolutely let's talk. This sounds like a lot of fun.

52
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.439
And the truth is, I think
Sparky very much was familiar with a

53
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.120
minute or golf course. And how
do I know that? If you look

54
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:42.600
at the most recent comic strip that
did come out, one of them was

55
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:48.279
about Woodstock coming home in a very
bizarre manner, like there's not a whole

56
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.519
lot of dialogue in it. If
you watch Woodstock, next thing you know,

57
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:56.160
he's getting swung at by a golf
club. He's fallen into a par

58
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.680
four. Then he's ended up in
a trap, he's ended up in the

59
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:04.120
water, and he is just a
total disheveled shell of his former self when

60
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.399
he gets home and he rows up
to Snoopy, and Snoopy looks at him

61
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:14.439
and says, I told you not
to take the short cut going through the

62
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.360
miniature golf course, but you look
at it it was very in detail,

63
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.360
and I'm going, okay, then
Sparky must have played a few games with

64
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:27.639
his kids. Some miniature golf course
must have gotten Sparky's business. But either

65
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.399
way, that's just speculation. But
it was a pretty good overall comic strip.

66
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.519
And also, if you've not followed
the show, if you're not followed

67
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:43.959
the comic strip of the TV show, it's possible that you might remember the

68
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:49.040
Peanuts doing specific commercials. Now,
depending on what era we're talking about.

69
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:55.839
In the eighties, it was very
common for Charlie Brown and Lucy and the

70
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:00.759
Gang to be doing a commercial for
Cheerios. That one was common. Another

71
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:05.439
one later on into the late nineties
into the two thousands was the insurance company

72
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:11.720
MetLife. Get met it pays okay, But most of the time these other

73
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.399
I think another one I talked about
one of the checks mixed commercial. But

74
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:21.160
I do appreciate that sometimes these commercials
would use one of the less known characters

75
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:27.920
from the Peanuts. One of them
happened to be Pigpen. I want to

76
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:32.240
say this was in the mid nineties, but Pigpen had his own commercial enough

77
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:38.199
to where it was in the actual
sales pitch at the end of the commercial,

78
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.399
I believe, if I remember this
right, it was the Regina Steamer

79
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:49.000
vacuum cleaner. Now those were really
powerful vacuums, and that was what was

80
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:56.439
displayed. You got Pigpen, no
other character, just him. And it's

81
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.839
befitting because this is going to be
about cleaning a vacuum, a vacuum cleaner,

82
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.800
cleaning the carpet where a pig Pen
had left his entrails, he had

83
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:10.959
left his tricycle skids, he had
left his own self portrait. He had

84
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.800
even left, if I remember right, a flee circus on this carpet.

85
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.639
And after he is sitting back and
admiring his work in the couch, all

86
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:27.240
of a sudden, the Regina Steamer
cleaner comes up and absolutely eradicates everything that

87
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.759
he'd done within that time period.
And it even shows in the commercial that

88
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.879
Regina is. It says his name
in there. That was another one that

89
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:40.720
really got me. Sometimes the peanuts
would be given a shout of approval.

90
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.720
Sometimes you would see them on there. You're expected to know who Charlie Brown

91
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.720
and the Snoopy and Lions and the
gang are. It actually said in the

92
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:56.800
pitch Regina strong enough to clean up
after Pigpen. He's given a big moment

93
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:03.079
of notoriety in that in that commercial, something I always appreciated about that.

94
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.680
So in some nation, just to
kind of quickly wrap this up, Woodstock

95
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.959
being on a minuture golf course didn't
work out too well for him. He's

96
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.680
not really playing, he's just trying
to take a short cut home, and

97
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.279
he's caught by every single trap and
every single par four that has any type

98
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:28.040
of hidden dangerous that are hitting.
He falls for every single one of them.

99
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.959
It almost looks like in one of
the episodes of Charlie Brown trying to

100
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.720
walk through the Tunnel of Fun,
I could probably tell you he probably felt

101
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.440
at least thirty times gain from one
end to the other. So wood Stock

102
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:45.000
had the same stroke of bad luck
go in that direction. But then you

103
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:50.039
do have Pigpen, who even got
his own vacuum commercial. What I'm trying

104
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:58.159
to show with this is America has
given its appreciation to the Peanuts over a

105
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:05.039
long period of time. Sparky was
a World War Two veteran who went into

106
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.559
producing the cartoon strip that started off
as Little Folks, and eventually he didn't

107
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:15.200
really like the name Peanuts to begin
with, but America embraced it. So

108
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:22.120
when I say on Memorial Day,
there are things that while America has embraced

109
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:28.200
the Peanuts, Charlie brown Snoopy Linus
in the Gang, thanks to a veteran

110
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:33.320
of World War Two, has given
the same love back to America. All

111
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.159
you have to do is go watch
the TV episode what have We Learned Charlie

112
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:46.600
Brown? From Pearl Harbor to d
Day to the flowers at flanders Field,

113
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:52.840
the British Field Dressing Station. So
much of it is honored and appreciated and

114
00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:01.120
displayed by Charles Schultz. So if
I can, on this Memorial Day,

115
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.519
even though times that might be somber, are times that it is celebratory.

116
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:11.200
The Peanuts comic strip did its part
to give back to all those who pay

117
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:16.639
the ultimate sacrifice. I think it
was Billy Ray Cyrus that talked about all

118
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.200
gave some, but some gave all. And as he says in the lyrics,

119
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.879
love your country and live with pride, and don't forget those who died

120
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:35.519
America. Can't you see America?
Can you appreciate that the Peanuts found ways

121
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:43.399
to give back to our beloved members
of the military. Blockhead Nation? Thank

Let's get back to the episode. Our

134
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.559
scripture reading for this podcast comes from
Romans Chapter five, Verse three through five.

135
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.840
And not only so, but we
glory in tribulations, also knowing that

136
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:07.559
tribulation work with patience and patience.
Experience and experience, hope and hope maketh

137
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.799
not ashamed because the love of God
is shed abroad in our hearts by the

138
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.039
Holy Ghost, which giveth unto us
reflection for blue lair. Bible says,

139
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:24.960
we are promised that our sufferings will
bear a fruit greater than the power of

140
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:31.000
the suffering. We are promised genuine
hope that does not disappoint. I hope

141
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.480
that you can take that to heart
blockhead nation as we have Memorial Day this

142
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:41.759
weekend, but also as you hopefully
spend time on Sunday just either being attendants

143
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.279
or contemplate how good the Lord has
been to you. Now, on the

144
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.200
flip side of that, as we
get into mixed martial arts, there's not

145
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.720
always the same type of love that's
given out to both sides. First one,

146
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.039
I'll start off with this day in
a white I know I keep coming

147
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:03.919
back to France Nagano, but I
say that only because Dana put out a

148
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.799
statement that's really hard to back up
as factual. He actually said, and

149
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.679
I quote Nagano fought three times in
three years, that is not what we

150
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:20.840
do here. Meaning in the UFC. Well, if I look back over

151
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.559
a lot of the big name fighters, just looking at what's in the top

152
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.279
rankings, I pulled up a bunch
of and just looked at him. Let's

153
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.080
take a look at the first one. Justin Gaiche, he fought in three

154
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:39.480
fights in three years. What about
Hamsa Chamayav three fights in three years.

155
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:48.080
Colby Covington fought three fights in four
years. Brian Ortega again, I'm jumping

156
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.279
around in weight classes here, but
he fought three fights in four years.

157
00:13:52.279 --> 00:14:01.519
Robert Whittaker three fights in four years, steep A mio chich that was five

158
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.159
years and he got three fights,
and that now there are extenuating circumstances with

159
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.159
some of these. Some of these
are on the injured list. I admit

160
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.039
that, especially like Brian Ortega with
his shoulder against Yaya Rodriguez, or people

161
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:18.039
that have missed weight like Homsat Schamaya. I agree that there are situations where

162
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.240
a fight was booked and it didn't
happen. I will agree on that one.

163
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:28.559
But Dana to say that Nagano doing
what we don't do in the UFC,

164
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.960
it doesn't really hold any water when
I start sharing those numbers out now.

165
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:35.960
I had to get that out of
the way, just because we're gonna

166
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:43.440
see in time how the contract with
Francis Nigana will work out. He's supposed

167
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.759
to have two fights in the next
two years. The contract is with PFL.

168
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.840
I mentioned that on my last episode. We'll see how this plays out.

169
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.759
We'll see if there really is a
power struggle between PFL and the UFC,

170
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.039
or this is just them bidding to
do we do things this way and

171
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:03.639
we don't do things this way in
different organizations. We'll see how that plays

172
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.480
out in due time. But I
have to ask this question. If you've

173
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:11.519
looked at the title, this is
a little bit more relevant to the topic

174
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.519
at hand. I want to ask
who on this podcast. Again, I'm

175
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.039
talking to a blind audience here,
but I just want to know. It's

176
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:26.240
kind of a rhetorical question. Are
you familiar with a Greek mythology monster known

177
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:33.000
as Hydra. If you're familiar with
that, just speaking from the Greek and

178
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:39.639
Roman origin, Hydra was this beast
from the underworld or underwater may weighs,

179
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:46.399
a sea creature that if you go
after it its head, if you actually

180
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.399
chop it off, whether it's a
sword or an act or whatever you use,

181
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:56.120
then two more heads will grow in
its place. That is actually scientifically

182
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:02.240
based off a real living organism known
as a hydra. It's really small.

183
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.080
You have to look at it under
a microscope. But if you were to

184
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:11.639
damage this hydra, if you took
like say a butcher knife and cut it

185
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.559
in half, two days later,
it would be two new organisms, and

186
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:21.360
the head would be returned and all
of the working organism inside of its body

187
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:26.000
would be fully functioning at this point. So the hydra is very real and

188
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.399
the originally traced back to Greek mythology. Now in your mind, I've got

189
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.440
the hydra in your plate. Hercules
had to go battle this hydra, but

190
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.240
you know he wasn't successful until he
took a burning torch to it. Somehow.

191
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.600
Don't know the entire story of how
that battle went back and forth.

192
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:47.120
Hercules ultimately triumphed. But I'm going
to take the hydra out for a second.

193
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:51.039
I want to put something in your
mind in place. It happens to

194
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:57.399
be a title that the UFC manufactured
that is about to be on the line

195
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:06.240
not too far away on the horizon, and on this title have three letters

196
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:12.559
inscribed into the front, B M
F. If you're not familiar with the

197
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:18.880
lineage, let me help you out. Nate DS calls out Jorge Masvidal and

198
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.240
they have a fight in Madison Square
Garden to decide who is the BMF of

199
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:29.240
the organization. What this really started
off was was Nate dspn from the West

200
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:34.079
Coast challenging the East coast. It
made sense Nate Ds versus Jorge and Mosvidal

201
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:41.839
at Madison Square Garden. The rock
walked out holding this BMF title that Dana

202
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:48.000
White had assured would be on the
line that night when the original idea came

203
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:49.279
from Nate Ds. Just for a
second, why am I talking about a

204
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:55.799
hydra. You'll see what I mean
in a second. When the fight happens

205
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:03.640
for this BMF title, baddest m
effort. Okay, it becomes a stroke

206
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.839
of bad luck as Hoorhem mosbat All
wins due to a doctor stoppage from a

207
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:14.720
classic cut over Nate Diaz's eye to
where he can't fight any further, where

208
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.279
the blood is continuing to gush because
he has skin like paper at this point,

209
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.799
and they call it off. Not
exactly the outcome we wanted. We

210
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.720
didn't have a decisive winner that night. Nay It Diez didn't knock out Horiean

211
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.519
mosmat All. Hore Moswald been coming
off of a fly five minute, five

212
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.960
second, I'm sorry, five second
flying knee to his adversary to have one

213
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:41.839
of the fastest growing stocks in the
history of any MMA fighter. So at

214
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:47.400
the time, this manufactured title wasn't
exactly necessary, but it did add a

215
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:51.519
little bit of glimmer to it.
It added a little bit of shine.

216
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.559
But with the result, we overall
weren't happy. Even the Rock was not

217
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:03.279
truly over enthusiastic as he put the
strap around Jory Mosvidal's waste. Not that

218
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.839
he was against Mosvidal, he wasn't
happy with the outcome. Neither was Dana

219
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.000
White, neither was the fans that
were there at cage side. Fast forward,

220
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:22.559
this same strap never was defended.
Mosadal went on to face the actual

221
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:30.400
current day champion Kamara Uzman at the
time and just couldn't get past it.

222
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:37.200
So Mosvidal has retired after his fight
with Gilbert Burns. So fast forward and

223
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:42.640
all through this, not once was
that title defended. There is an absolutely

224
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.240
no lineage to the BMF title.
There is no running it back with Mosvidal

225
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.680
and Diaz for a second time to
see who truly is the best of these

226
00:19:52.680 --> 00:20:02.839
two. That never happened this BMF
title in many ways has become an unnecessary

227
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.799
hydra. Why do I say that? Because if Mosvidal is out of the

228
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:10.799
picture and we cut this BMF title
off all of a sudden, coming out

229
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:15.279
of the war room again. Another
one of Dana White's big announcements is that

230
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:21.480
the BMF title is now back,
and it will be defended, and it

231
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:30.119
will be Dustin Poorier versus Justin Gaiche, a phenomenal rematch between two of the

232
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:37.279
very best lightweights in the world.
I start off with this just a little

233
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.920
bit of frustration. Why I would
say it's an unnecessary hydra. If you

234
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.319
cut the head off of a hydra
two, we're going to grow in his

235
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:48.480
place. You'll lose Mosvedal, and
all of a sudden, now it's between

236
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:55.680
Poorier and Gaiche. So the BMF
has grown two new sets of heads that

237
00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:03.559
are not necessary. Why you don't
need a title to make the Dustin Pourrier

238
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.799
and Justin Kchi rematch relevant. I
think it was even said in the world

239
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.839
of professional wrestling. It was Jake
the Snake Roberts who said, if you

240
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.480
don't need a title, don't use
it. He didn't need one. He

241
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.440
used his snake. He had a
gimmick that worked for his name and for

242
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:26.920
his caricature. You don't need a
BMF title for Dustin Pourrier versus Justin Gaiche

243
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:33.480
to have a second go about.
These two have some of the greatest records

244
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.680
in the history of the lightweights,
and they're gonna go at it again.

245
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.759
Poorier has beaten twice the biggest draw
in the history of the UFC, Connor

246
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:49.599
McGregor. Justin Gaiche has won more
bonuses then. I don't know who can

247
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.759
compete with his bonus check payouts.
At this point, he's certainly one of

248
00:21:53.759 --> 00:22:00.480
the top five. Had a phenomenal
fight with Michael Chandler at Mattis and Square

249
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:06.640
Garden. You don't need to put
a BMF title on the line that has

250
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:11.720
no lineage that the former holder of
the title is no longer in the picture.

251
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:15.880
But we're gonna go put it on
two of the baddest men walk in

252
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.960
the face of this planet. Why
do you need that title? All you

253
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.279
need to say is they're going out
for the second time. These are two

254
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:27.880
of the very best lightweights ever and
you have some of the greatest payouts going

255
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:30.640
to these two as well. These
men, I guarantee you if they have

256
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:36.799
handled their financials well, are wealthy
men, and they get a chance to

257
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:44.440
just show in a main event who's
gonna be the very best, and you

258
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:48.839
are missing the accolade of Madison Square
Garden. This is not even being defended

259
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:55.599
at Madison Square Gardens, being defended
at a main event at a pay per

260
00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:03.279
view where you don't need it.
Nobody I have seen is getting excited about

261
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:08.599
this, except for Dana White.
That's my argument that this is an unnecessary

262
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:15.039
hydra that should have been cut off
or taking the torch to it when Mozwdal

263
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.920
stepped away from the sport. No
lineage, no defending it, no nothing,

264
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:23.799
just bringing these three initials back between
two guys that have no beef like

265
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:29.480
Nate Diaz and Jorge Mosvidal had or
what they concocted between East Coast and West

266
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.079
Coast. Something believable was there.
We got two killers that are going to

267
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:41.119
run it back, rematch, main
event. That's all you need. What

268
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.839
makes it more relevant putting a BMF
title out there, and nobody's willing to

269
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.240
give me a good answer on this
one. Either way. You should see

270
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:55.519
the fight with Dustin Pourier and Justin
Gaichee down the road, Dustin Pourier and

271
00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:00.720
Justin Gaiche one of the greyest matchups
ever. There's no need for a BMF

272
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:03.880
title and I'll throw it out to
just to be fun. We talked about

273
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:08.960
Pourier, who's beating Connor, gets
who he's picking to defeat to win between

274
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:14.599
Connor versus Michael Chandler. That happens
to be the two tough coaches, and

275
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.799
eventually they'll face each other, probably
in late twenty twenty three. Pooria is

276
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:23.279
picking Connor to win. He's saying
the same thing that I am in saying

277
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:30.079
since he faced him. This man
walks into danger. He certainly puts on

278
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:37.759
a show at his own detriment.
He walks straightforward with wild punches, leaving

279
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.759
himself wide open for an easy left
from Connor McGregor and its lights out.

280
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:48.559
Dustin Pourier is behind Connor winning against
Michael Chandler. It's hard for me to

281
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.359
come back with a rebuttal against that
one, but I do have a rebuttal

282
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:57.839
of why do you need the unnecessary
hydra that is the BMF title. I'd

283
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:00.680
love to have that explain to me
by summ MMA fan or one of you

284
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:04.359
in the blockhead Nation, that's been
listening. I hope you enjoyed your Memorial

285
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:08.920
Day weekend. We'll catch you guys
next Saturday, same blockhead time, same

286
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.400
blockhead channel,
