1
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.079
Broadcasting Live good evening, Blockhead Nation, and thank you for

2
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.079
stopping by. Once again. You are listening to your favorite

3
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.799
blockhead the only podcast in the podcasting world that can

4
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.600
somehow incorporate the Peanuts comic strip one minute and then

5
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.320
be talking about MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon the next.

6
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.640
I am your host. My name is Brian Little. If

7
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:49.560
you are new to this show, let me clarify the

8
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.520
three things that we always talk about. Number one, God

9
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:57.280
is King. Number two, Peanuts is the single most successful

10
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:02.320
comic strip in American history. And number three, mixed martial

11
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.359
arts is the greatest sport under God's hot sun. I

12
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.640
released this episode every Saturday, so if you're coming by

13
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.640
a little bit late. As of right now, UFC Fight

14
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.359
Night is going on in Mexico City, Morano versus ERSAG.

15
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.959
It's a free fight night, so this recording is post

16
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.000
UFC Fight Night. But also if you're tuning into right now,

17
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.000
I'm getting into part one, which is about Peanuts. But

18
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.840
if I can, I'll start off with what I always

19
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.879
tell my listeners. This is a listener supported podcast for

20
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.280
listeners just like you. Listens and downloads are the most helpful.

21
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.719
Blockad Nation and you have done phenomenal in the last

22
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.680
several weeks just showing up and being part of the

23
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.280
block at nation. I truly appreciate that. But if you

24
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:44.959
want to go a little further, you would have to

25
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.760
go to the blog page if you are on Apple,

26
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.760
Spotify or YouTube any other format. If you go to

27
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:52.920
those three little buttons there on the far right corner,

28
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.280
if you go to the description, you're gonna see the

29
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.599
link for your favorite blockhead dot com slash blog. So

30
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.519
if you want merchandise to donate to the coffee page,

31
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.920
those are available through that outlet. That'll be five cents. Please.

32
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.960
Now that's not literal, I hope if you know your

33
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.199
peanuts well enough you know that I am referring to

34
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:19.639
Lucy van Pelt. Blockhead doesn't actually insist that you give

35
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.000
anything to the show. This show will always be free

36
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:26.000
no matter what. Any extra help is always the cherry

37
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.199
on top of the Sunday. But I will go ahead

38
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.199
and inform you that Lucy van Pelt with her psychiatric

39
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.960
booth is what has been featured this week in the

40
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.560
Charles Schultz Museum. Through their Facebook page, their Instagram, they

41
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.680
do a great job via social media introducing comic strips

42
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.680
from back in the day that would be resurfaced. They

43
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.319
do a great job with the TV series. They do

44
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.080
a lot of exhibitions, so I'm always praising the Charles

45
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.800
Schultz Museum out of Santa Rosa, California, so just wanted

46
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.120
to make sure I mentioned that they are putting a

47
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.680
spotlight on her. This week in nineteen fifty nine is

48
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.039
the first time we ever saw Lucy opening up her

49
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:12.439
own psychiatric booth and having a set rate, which would

50
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:17.599
be five cents, so that booth becomes quite the fixture

51
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.919
throughout Peanuts, and that means that she is a frequent

52
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.080
visitor to the booth, whether it is Charlie Brown or

53
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.639
if it is Woodstock Snoopy, typically the one that shows

54
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.080
up the most for her to give services to, it's

55
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.840
usually Charlie Brown. But it was well put by Charles

56
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.879
Schultz when we talked about when Lucy would be in

57
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.520
the psychiatric booth, that it would be end i quote

58
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:48.759
full of misdirected, confidentts. So she's not exactly a licensed professional,

59
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.159
but she does have client tele that continue to come

60
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:57.439
back and in some respects as Sparky talked about Charles Schultz,

61
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.199
that she is the answer for what ailed Charlie Brown.

62
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.400
These are Charles Schultz's words, and I quote, you have

63
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.240
to give her credit. She has a way of cutting

64
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.360
right down to the truth. This is one of her

65
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.319
good points. She can cut through a lot of the

66
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.879
sham and she can really feel what is wrong with

67
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:21.319
Charlie Brown, which he can't see himself. Those who drove

68
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.800
with the Christmas Special, you saw how she would address

69
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.279
his problems and tell me had pantophobia. Or if you

70
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.600
watch any other of the TV episodes or even the

71
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:34.480
movie itself, you see her at the psychiatric booth. And again,

72
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.120
her expertise is seen over one hundred times I want

73
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.360
to say, maybe one hundred and fifteen something like that

74
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.920
for a fifty year period, including the comic strip that

75
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.040
is up this week on the Charles Schultz Museum from

76
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.680
nineteen seventy one. And so in that comic strip you

77
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.399
have Lucy saying little talks like this are almost always

78
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.199
good Charlie Brown. There's a certain value in the exchange

79
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.639
of experiences. I suppose I could admit that I've even

80
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.920
learned a little something myself, which Charlie Brown throws her

81
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.759
a curve and says that'll be five cents please, as in,

82
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.720
he is the one that's given out the service and

83
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:21.800
he expects said set rate. So pay Charlie Brown a

84
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.680
nickel for his time listening to you, vent the other

85
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:32.079
way around. So this cutting through the sham, as he

86
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:38.639
calls it, or this misdirected confidence, not afraid to just

87
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.959
say the truth no matter what standards and practices might

88
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:48.399
tell you. There have been many instances throughout many of

89
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.680
society and culture's well known moments, especially in music, where

90
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:57.519
this has happened. If you wouldn't mind, let Blockhead be

91
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:02.839
permitted to tell you two quick stories of what actually

92
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:08.319
happened versus what was supposed to happen. This reminds me

93
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.519
of this misdirected servitude that Lucy cutting right through to

94
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.839
the quick. This is what this sounds like. The Doors

95
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.399
played for Ed Sullivan. They were given their big moment.

96
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.319
They had a huge song at that time called light

97
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.720
My Fire, but they were told before they go on

98
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.879
stage that there's a problem that they cannot use the

99
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.480
phrase girl, we couldn't get much higher. Apparently it was

100
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.360
too provocative, so they asked them to change it. Maybe

101
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.439
five minutes where they went on stage, It's like, what

102
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.319
do we do? Jim Morrison's is like, we'll figure it out.

103
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.720
It's some big deal. And they go out there and

104
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:52.360
what was Jim do? He sings it exactly as it's

105
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:56.639
supposed to be. He said the word higher on national television,

106
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.959
which made him an overnight success because he played Ed Sullivan.

107
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.000
But when they go in the back, all of the producers,

108
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.560
including Ed, have busted through the door and are screaming

109
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.000
at them and going, you promised you wouldn't do that.

110
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.240
You'll never play Ed Sullivan again. And in Jim Morrison fashion,

111
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:14.680
he looked at his band and he looked at Ed

112
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.480
Sullivan to win. It's not like we need you anymore.

113
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:23.079
We just did play the Ed Sullivan show. We're already

114
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.439
a success. Been there, done that in that very moment.

115
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.879
Another time I can remember was in two thousand and

116
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:35.879
nine where BBC was asking for the infamous rock band

117
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.240
Rage against the Machine to perform their song killing in

118
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:46.600
the Name of But they were expected since for some

119
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.639
reason their song had shot to the top of the

120
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.160
ratings because everybody was tired of American idol or something

121
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:57.680
like that. Whatever happened with that, they asked them to

122
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:03.439
clean up their act. Well, when Zach starts singing, next

123
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.920
thing you know, he's using choice four letter words and

124
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:12.279
he's using certain fingers to express how he feels about

125
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.360
being censored, which means BBC had to cut away from

126
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.120
their performance right away, as he wasn't supposed to use profanity,

127
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:25.639
but he certainly did. You're surprised that a band known

128
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.839
as Rage Against the Machine that is as anti authority

129
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.200
as you can get, you're surprised that they broke the

130
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.559
rules on your show. A lot of this is that

131
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:42.159
same misguided confidence that you would see through Lucy. But

132
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:48.639
somebody else who had the same type of backbone was

133
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:54.440
Charles Schultz. How do I know because when he started

134
00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:00.000
introducing Franklin into his comic strip, he was told by

135
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:04.399
Southern editors and Southern publications that you will not have

136
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.639
this African American character in the same setting with these

137
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:18.039
other Caucasian Anglo characters. What was Sparky's response, You either

138
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.960
print them the way that I drew them, or I quit.

139
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:26.480
How about that? So there have been these times where

140
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:32.519
in the Peanuts, even through Lucy, that Charles Schultz would

141
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:39.759
channel her sometimes horrendous advice, but also the psychiatric Booth

142
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.399
would bring issues like that to the surface in society

143
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:47.200
and culture. That's something that Charles Schultz was very good at.

144
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:49.399
There were usually be a subtle message, but if you

145
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.159
look for it, it was there. In that case, behind

146
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.879
the scenes. He didn't back down when he knew he

147
00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:03.120
was right. But you got so many instances of artists,

148
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.679
of performers, musicians that are told to do this, and

149
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.000
what you get is the exact opposite, almost like Murphy's law,

150
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:20.440
especially from a creative standpoint, especially from Sparky, usually channeled

151
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.759
through the Psychiatric Booth in some way addressing some issue

152
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:29.960
which would result in the closure of that being that

153
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.000
will be five cents. Please. I wonder if that was

154
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:38.080
a rate that couldn't have fluctuated from time to time,

155
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.360
it would only be discount to four percent. But I'm

156
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.600
sure that the advice that Sparky gave through Lucy Vanpelt

157
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:51.080
might have been worth more than five cents in retrospect.

158
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.799
Stick around for scripture of the day. We'll get into

159
00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:18.279
the world mixed martial arts following this. Our SCRIPTUREI for

160
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.879
this podcast is a brief one blockhead nation, but it

161
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:27.440
is an important James Chapter four, verse ten, humble yourselves

162
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.360
in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift

163
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.600
you up. The reflection from Bluelay Bible is a continuation

164
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.759
into Philippians chapter two, verses eight through nine, where it

165
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.519
talks about how God exalted him. But if you read

166
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.360
it in full, it says this, This conditional promise can

167
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:50.120
be misused by some who have ulterior motives. But when

168
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.399
we truly humble ourselves in the Lord's sight, it can

169
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:57.320
in no way be for our own lifting up. True

170
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:02.559
humility would put ourselves asked, And that is what makes

171
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:08.000
this paradoxical truth so amazing. We can't lift our own

172
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.279
selves up. Blockhead Nation. That's where our Lord and Savior

173
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:18.519
comes in. As far as tonight's fights, UFC Fight Night

174
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:23.399
in the CDMX Arena in Mexico. So you got Rob

175
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.679
rossis junior, youngest fighter that I know of in the

176
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:31.720
history of this sport, nineteen years old again pulling off

177
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:36.240
a third round yunamous decision against Vince Morales, So pretty

178
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.039
good performance on his part. His third round. He had

179
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.480
a couple of times where I was worried he was

180
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.879
gonna get caught, but he's sure kept his cool on

181
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.320
the ground. He's such a dangerous grappler, but Morales definitely

182
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.879
showed a few high moments in that one. Moving on

183
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:57.600
to the co Maine, Drew Dober gets rocked in the

184
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.360
first round by Manuel Torres. He was known well for

185
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.000
having first round knockouts, first round tkos and the street

186
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.559
continues in front of his home crowd. But for Doughbra,

187
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.240
I can just tell you this that when he took

188
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.840
those two powerful sledgehammers to the face, and when he

189
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:17.200
dropped and grabbed the ankle of Torres, and where Torres

190
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:21.399
is dropping these hammer throws onto the side of his head,

191
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.720
I was just going, okay, I can't get disappointed with this.

192
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:31.559
Drew Dober's lights are on, but nobody is home, so

193
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.039
it's up to the referee. So Mike Beltran steps in

194
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.399
to stop this. Dober is going to protest, but he

195
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.799
doesn't even realize what he's protesting. He's just got the

196
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.759
heart of a warrior. So they help him to a

197
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.799
stool and we get this thing situated. So you have

198
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.519
your win, ear Manuel Torrez. Here you got quite a

199
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:54.440
war that's going on between Ursag and Brandon Moreno, it

200
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:59.159
never disappoints with the flyweights, for Brandon Moreno and for

201
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.480
Steve ursag in the Australian having to face down a

202
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:08.399
very full on supporting their hometown hero of Assassin Baby

203
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:12.960
Brandon Moreno. So very much one sided crowd. But Er

204
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.559
six is used to that and he's more than willing

205
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.960
to prove people wrong. He has no problem doing that.

206
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.679
But I really wanted to just shift in another direction

207
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.000
tonight because when you look at the UFC, you wondered yourself,

208
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:28.919
what is the competition for this sport? Are there other

209
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:35.320
organizations there? Certainly used to be more of them. Nowadays,

210
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.399
what you have that's competing with the UFC has pretty

211
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:44.080
much two organizations, the PFL and one championship over in Japan. Now,

212
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.600
if I could just reveal a few of the cracks

213
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:52.679
in the armor that are showing from PFL. They had

214
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:57.279
a major acquisition not long ago where they bought Bellator

215
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:04.919
Belotor Mma. So this acquisition is looking like a blunder

216
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.559
for one major reason, but it's looking like a success

217
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:12.919
for another one. So starting with the blunder, how do

218
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:19.720
you lose the current Belator heavyweight champion, Brian Bater. Ryan

219
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.720
Batter has been released from his contract, and as I

220
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:27.000
understand it, that's been what he's been fighting with is

221
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:31.879
with the organization, unable to get a fight scheduled, gain

222
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:37.360
nowhere with his team. Now Chris Cyborg had similar complaints,

223
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:42.039
but that's the other side. She was finally given a fight.

224
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.200
So there's this ongoing rolodex of so many that are

225
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.480
frustrated with the PFL who spent over one hundred million

226
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:58.720
dollars to acquire Bellator, bragging about the stacked roster, and

227
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:03.679
then you can't afford to pay them. These million dollar

228
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.399
tournament brackets started becoming like five hundred thousand dollars brackets

229
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:13.360
and not offering any fights or completely ignoring somebody like

230
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.080
Ryan Bater. You could have easily have had since this

231
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:21.919
acquisition the PFL versus the Bellator fighters, and even if

232
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.559
PFL were to squash them, you just where's the excuse

233
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.759
on this one? You change the name of Belatar Championship

234
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.919
Series to PFL Champion but still they have their titles.

235
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:40.679
How to explain that one? And what beltar champions are left?

236
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:46.960
At this point, several again released, including Ryan Bader. So

237
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.120
since this acquisition they seem to be showing that they

238
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:56.799
have financial trouble, but they publicly offered John Jones fifty

239
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:03.000
million dollars to face Francis Nagano. Wouldn't that throw up

240
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.759
some red flags at this point to say that that's

241
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.119
a false offer If you can't keep the heavyweight champion

242
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.039
of Ryan Bater. I'm not saying more people will pay

243
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.680
attention to Bater, and they will John Jones. I'm just

244
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:19.200
going but how do you overlook him who's already under contract.

245
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.119
Does that mean Bater gets another chance to have one

246
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.519
last run in the UFC. I don't know what to

247
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:29.559
think about this one, but this guy hasn't been given

248
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.279
to fighting over a year. Wiley considered two of the

249
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.160
very best. And you also lost Patricio Pittbull, who's gonna

250
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.319
have his debut against Yaira Rodriguez at UFC three fourteen.

251
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.000
After all these frustrations and getting released from PFL and

252
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:50.359
threatening legal action for all of the inactivity, not a

253
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:55.599
good look for the opposition. The Mothership continues to show

254
00:17:55.640 --> 00:18:01.359
that it's the UFC. But you do have Chris Cyborg,

255
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:05.920
who is the first and only Royal Flush Champion who

256
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.319
can say she's held a title in every single major organization,

257
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.160
five different promotions. You got your real flush if you're

258
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.880
thinking cards here, and the PFL title proved to be

259
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:24.279
her ace in the hole. So it's interesting that she's

260
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.839
able to be kept afloat. But Ryan Baterer is the

261
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:31.799
heavyweight champion, is not substantial enough to even return a

262
00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:36.079
phone call to at least negotiate with the team, maybe

263
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:40.839
be a little bit more transparent about what's going on overall,

264
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.920
somebody like Chris Siberg who's seventeen and one in title

265
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.400
fightes and holds just me women's records. I mean, great

266
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:51.559
for her and great for that organization, but how much

267
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.880
water do they really hold? Do we really have an

268
00:18:55.880 --> 00:19:02.119
outside threat for the PFL versus the UFC, especially knowing

269
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:07.400
that Patricio Pitbull will be debuting at the first pay

270
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:12.880
per view for his career in UFC three fourteen against it.

271
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:17.119
Very dangerous, ye Aira Rodriguez, a very unorthodox yi R. Rodriguez.

272
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:19.599
You talk about throwing him into the deep end of

273
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:24.920
the ocean. Very quick blockhead Nation. So overall, a very

274
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:30.480
impressive fight night at Mexico City. Not so impressive with

275
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:36.359
the opposition with PFL and a lot of negotiations that

276
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:41.839
have fallen through the cracks onto a very promising pay

277
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.079
per view that should be on the horizon where we

278
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.240
have Connor McGregor. Oh wait, it's not Connor McGregor that's

279
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.640
facing Michael Chandler, is it. It's Liverpool's Patty the Batty,

280
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.359
And the question now is as strong as Michael Chandler

281
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.119
is and as wild as he is with his punches

282
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.799
looking like he's gonna throw in a lobster punch, is

283
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.359
this something that Pay the Batty can capitalize on? But

284
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:14.039
for somebody who blows up in between fights and weight

285
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.519
cuts the way that he does, wouldn't that eventually catch

286
00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:21.480
up to you? At least from a grappling standpoint. It's

287
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.319
going to be a very interesting co made event once

288
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:28.119
we have Patty versus Iron Michael Chandler from the former

289
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:32.799
Bellator MMA organization who was the flagship at one time,

290
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.960
and we were supposed to have Connor versus Michael Chandler.

291
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.559
That hasn't happened, So in steps Pay the Batty pimphlet

292
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:49.559
at one fifty five. Quite interesting. So, just to conclude

293
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.480
with we got a great pay per view coming up.

294
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.160
Volkanowski versus Lopez. There's so much for me to unpackage

295
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.200
on that when it gets a little bit closer, and

296
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.279
I certainly will so I think you'll all of you

297
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.559
blockhead nations that are still here, that are sticking around,

298
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:04.920
and here in my thoughts on the world of MMA,

299
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.920
because once again God is king. Two Peanuts is the

300
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.319
single most successful comic strip in American history and number

301
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.720
three Mixed Martial Arts is still Regardless of other foundations

302
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.359
and organizations that are questionable, this is still the greatest

303
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:21.960
sport under God's hot sun. And we will catch you

304
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:27.039
next Saturday. Blockhead Nation, same blockhead time, same blockhead chain,
