00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.519
Broadcasting live. Good morning, good
afternoon, good evening, good night,
2
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.600
whatever time you're tuning in, I
thank you for stopping by the show.
3
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:39.880
You are listening to your favorite blockhead, the only podcast in the podcasting world
4
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:44.479
that can somehow incorporate the Peanuts comic
strip one minute and then be talking about
5
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.399
MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon the
next. I am your host. My
6
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.359
name is Brian Little. I'm gonna
admit I've done the episode a little bit
7
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.359
backwards this week. I've already got
part two done that should already be coming
8
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.240
up pretty soon. I'm just now
sitting down for part one while the guys
9
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.880
against the Fan MMA channel are recording
and they are live doing the updates on
10
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.280
UFC two ninety four. But I'm
gonna go ahead and start off with It's
11
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.599
ten days away. Mark your calendars. Write this down. Take a little
12
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:18.280
note. This is not a public
service announcement. This is absolute truth.
13
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:26.359
The Great Pumpkin will be here in
ten days. He will rise out of
14
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.719
the pumpkin patch and bring toys to
all the good little children that believe in
15
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:38.480
him. That's the problem. People
don't believe that the Great Pumpkin is real,
16
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:45.040
and we need to talk about some
moral ethics that pertain to pumpkins.
17
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.560
Okay, I'm getting a lot of
this off of my chest. I'm gonna
18
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:56.319
admit it. Why the Great Pumpkin
doesn't have more frontline headline coverage is annoying
19
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.680
to me. This is not a
shoot. This is absolutely absurd. It's
20
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.680
been real since Linus spoken into existence
waiting for the Great pump It's not his
21
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:13.080
fault that the Great Pumpkin didn't choose
his pumpkin patch. He said himself that
22
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.000
he chooses the one he thinks is
the most sincere. He's one spot in
23
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:21.360
America, across this whole world.
He's one tiny little speck in the universe.
24
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:28.039
And the Great Pumpkin is such a
deity that he didn't choose that one.
25
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:34.080
Just because it didn't happen. We
never saw Linus witness the real Great
26
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:40.120
Pumpkin, and quite frankly, neither
of I. That doesn't make it untrue.
27
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.319
More of you believe in Santa Claus
than you do the Great Pumpkin.
28
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.840
He's had more publicity. I don't
think he's number two anymore. He's probably
29
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.280
number two, thy two hundred and
seven somewhere in there, and it's a
30
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.360
shame that's diminished that much. There's
no excuse for inflation being as high as
31
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.800
it is, and there's no excuse
for not realizing that the Great Pumpkin is
32
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:08.280
a real thing. And I'm not
even speaking religion here, I'm just speaking
33
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.159
that there are some more effic because
all of you that are drinking pumpkin spice
34
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:21.360
as soon as the weather is cooler, you are to blame. You've got
35
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:27.919
to stop the madness America. We've
got to stop shedding innocent blood. We've
36
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:34.000
got to stop innocent blood and guts
being spilled whenever you take a knife to
37
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:40.439
the interior of a pumpkin. They
have no chance against our weaponry, just
38
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.560
like Native Americans had no chance against
the Europeans that led conquest and exploration and
39
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.960
total colonization, pillage, and plundering. They have no chance. So I've
40
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.759
got to give them a voice here. It's bad enough that we have a
41
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.039
mediocre band from back in the day
known as Smashing Pumpkins. Do he all
42
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:05.520
listen to that group? Do you
really? Do you like? The group
43
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:11.599
Smashing Pumpkins the only one I know
that men typically like. According to the
44
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.520
artist, whenever he walks up to
the lead singer said it like this every
45
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.759
time he meets guys. The guys
you say, I love that song nineteen
46
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.160
seventy nine, I really don't like
the rest of your stuff. What's so
47
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.839
great about nineteen seventy nine? What's
so great about that year? And what's
48
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.279
so great about this song? What's
so great about the grip? I have
49
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:36.279
given Smashing Pumpkins a chance and it
absolutely left my ears bleeding, and I
50
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:43.120
don't have any real appreciation for that
band. So I'm just going, what
51
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.480
is this uprise against pumpkins that I
have missed? I don't get it.
52
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:53.439
Does it go back to the headless
horseman throwing a pumpkin? What all of
53
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.959
a sudden makes that where you cut
some eyes, ears, and a nose
54
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.959
out of it and you put a
face on it with jagged teeth that could
55
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.959
have been fixed and went to a
dentist within enough time. But why is
56
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:08.680
it that is terrifying that you filled
with fire and you throw up broken pumpkin
57
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.240
and that terrifies a man across a
bridge and he never comes back, and
58
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.680
it becomes folklore across the United States
of America. Taught in our kids nursery
59
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.360
rhymes and art history textbooks. What
is this whole thing about Ichabod being heavy
60
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:27.240
hearted and cristfallen and being chased by
a man that's headless, but he chooses
61
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.160
one type of fruit he chooses or
vegetable, which everyone is fruit or vegetable?
62
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:41.759
Who gives a rats Reariand why that
has become such a disdain that now
63
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.519
there's no belief in the Great Pumpkin. His rankings have diminished so much.
64
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.040
How is it we have no moral
ethics that we all just go have our
65
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:56.000
pumpkin spice and we drink innocent blood. How is it that we would name
66
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:00.920
a famous band called Smashing Pumpkins and
act like we have named it something clever?
67
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.639
What's clever about it? How is
it that a headless horseman throws a
68
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.319
pumpkin and this sends a reign of
terror all through the New England colonies,
69
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.240
and it's spread through our history textbooks
and our nursery rhymes for our children to
70
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.480
do. Are you seeing that I've
got a problem here? The comic strip
71
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.720
this week is all about the Great
Pumpkin. You can follow the Charles Schultz
72
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:28.639
Museum. And I am on Linus's
side. I should be ecstatic about it,
73
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:33.199
but none of you are giving him
a chance, and you are absolutely
74
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:39.800
causing genocide across the nation to where
this legacy will not continue much longer.
75
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.199
I'm still counting on the day I'm
gonna see him in the pumpkin patch.
76
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.160
I'm still waiting for the Great Pumpkin
to appear. I'm waiting for him.
77
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:53.079
I am, and you people will
see there's gonna be one around here that's
78
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.040
releasing here. If you gonna be
the Dallas for Worth area, it might
79
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.680
be Chicago, it might be the
UK whereby guys from against the Fence Mma
80
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.959
Channel are hanging out. He could
come up from there. It could come
81
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.519
out of California. Not a lot
of good things come out of California in
82
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.800
these days, but it could come
from one of those. It couldn't come
83
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.399
from a Mexico pumpkin patch. Well, you never know where this is coming
84
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.600
from. Pump telling you he's looking
for that pumpkin patch that is sincere.
85
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.680
And when the Great Pumpkin rises out
of the pumpkin past with his flying through
86
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.319
the other his back of toys,
I will be waiting. Every year I
87
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.879
say this, I'll be there sitting
in that Pumpkin patch waiting for the Great
88
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.040
Pumpkin. I'm not gonna just go
and throw him out like the evening trash,
89
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.160
because so many of y'all have not
appreciated who the great Pumpkin is.
90
00:07:38.199 --> 00:08:05.240
What idea our scripture reaing for this
podcast comes from Revelation chapter one, verse
91
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.959
seven. Behold he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him,
92
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.959
and they also which pierced him,
And all kindreds of the earth shall wail
93
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.879
because of him. Even so Amen
reflection for Blue Laura. Bible says,
94
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.560
soon will be the coming of the
Lord from clouds and on high, at
95
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.960
long last, all creation will bow
before him in full recognition of his majesty
96
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.279
and glory. Praise the Lord,
all you people, lift his name on
97
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:43.080
high, bask in his redemptive power
and in his blood. Grain assault on
98
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.840
everything you just heard on the first
part of this episode blockadmation. That's me
99
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.600
having some fun with some content from
the peanuts. But whenever I read the
100
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.519
scripture of the day, it's truth. Believe on him and be saved in
101
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.240
the final day. Well, just
fyi, I'm coming at you early this
102
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:09.120
morning. Since the fight card for
Abu Dhabi UFC two ninety four really begins
103
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.759
at nine AM. About one o'clock
is when the main card comes on,
104
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.480
and there's a few things that I
do want to catch, so I decided
105
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.320
I'm going to make this recording prior
to the event, so by the time
106
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.360
that you might be tuning in,
the fights of might already be over in
107
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.399
Abu Dhabi, and I just kind
of had to get a few things out.
108
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:35.399
So starting off with from last episode, I had mentioned about that should
109
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.639
happen that was kind of on the
lips of people already, especially Bobby Green,
110
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.360
who had said that he's looking for
a contender and he wants to fight
111
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:52.600
again in December and he wants Dan
Hooker, and I had mentioned on my
112
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.639
last episode, all you need to
make that an amazing bout would be to
113
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.679
make that a BMF title, because
these two absolutely fit the bill when it
114
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.519
comes to the criteria for a BMF
bout. And no sooner did I say
115
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:13.559
that that the press is already heated
up all of the normal articles that I
116
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.279
go to to get information for this
podcast to be as accurate as I possibly
117
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.120
can as a fan of the sport, they all hint at the fact that
118
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:30.679
that is then what's called sniper range. So the bout's already been there and
119
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:37.759
it's being talked about in December in
Austin. I'll tell you what would truly
120
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:43.360
fill the stands for the arena in
Austin, Texas would be to make this
121
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.080
a BMF bout Bobby Green versus Dan
Hooker. Is excited enough, it is,
122
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.320
and Dan Hooker already said that he
was looking to face a gam rock,
123
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.679
but if he can't get his way, then he's certainly down for fighting
124
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.679
Bobby Green. That was then two
weeks ago. Still, either way,
125
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.919
it's not that I spoke it into
existence. It's just the MMA fans could
126
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.399
already see it and smell it from
a mile away. All we got to
127
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.679
do now is put pen to paper. Seems like the fight's being offered and
128
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:16.679
we have a venue. We just
need confirmation at this point to see if
129
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.840
that can be the confirmed fight with
Dan Hooker and Bobby Green. Either way,
130
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:28.039
phenomenal main event that could happen in
Austin pretty soon. So we look
131
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.320
at the card for today. We
got two guys who stepped up and we
132
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:39.519
had a heart stopping moment because Kamara
Usman is doing an open grappling session with
133
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:46.000
Justin Gaechee and he confirms that he
hears something pop. Apparently it's his knee.
134
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.200
Well, either way, within twenty
four hours we still have the bout.
135
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.159
Nothing's confirmed that Usman would back down
at this point. I'm sure he
136
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.120
got treatment that was necessary for him
to move forward. But it's a scary
137
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:05.399
moment because God, we've already had
so many heart stopping conundrums and dilemmas that
138
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.039
have happened with the main event and
the co main event with this fight.
139
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:16.559
So you got main event Islam versus
Vulk the rematch, and then you got
140
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:22.879
co main event hamsat Chamayah of making
his debut at middleweight against Commado Usman,
141
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:31.159
which the original bouts were supposed to
be Chemaiah versus Paula Costa and Islam versus
142
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:37.480
Olivera. Olivera pulls out with an
injury. The doctors are gonna pull paul
143
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.159
A Costa because of the injury on
his elbow. I don't remember exactly what
144
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.840
it was, possibly a staff infection, some type of fatty deposit on his
145
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.000
elbow, whatever it was, it
got diagnosed. When we said this guy
146
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.960
is not going to the cage,
and this is where I have to ask
147
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.840
the question. Now, if we're
gonna look at who was given the call
148
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:05.720
to step in, I mean,
there is a well known saying stay ready
149
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.240
so you don't have to get ready. If ever there was proof of that.
150
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.440
You have that in two guys.
You have that in Kamara Usman,
151
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.559
you have that in Alexander Volkanowski,
and I can give a hypothesis here,
152
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:26.120
or at least some type of a
theory that is usually well founded with this
153
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:31.240
sport. Most of the time,
the guys who dominate the world of MMA
154
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:37.240
have a wrestling background. Does that
always necessarily make them the most exciting fighter
155
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.879
to watch? Noah doesn't, but
it certainly proves to make them the most
156
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:48.960
prepared. When we look at the
rankings on who might have been called in.
157
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.960
Steps kamar Usman on late notice,
and I've got to give him credit
158
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.559
for that for being prepared to take
this fight even though he's number one contender.
159
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:07.240
He's got to stay ready and for
Oliver to step out and instep Alexander
160
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:13.399
Volkanowski, current day featherweight champion,
willing to be prepared because apparently the phone
161
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.399
call was made to the current holding
BMF title holder Justin Gaechee, who is
162
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:24.200
a phenomenal fighter who very much fits
the bill for being the baddest man on
163
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.159
the planet, as we saw with
him against Dustin Porier. But his exact
164
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.279
words were, I can't make the
weight. Who are the guys that are
165
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.440
ready to make weight and step in
at a moment's notice? And both of
166
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:41.240
them have a phenomenal wrestling background.
Vulk and Usman deserve a hat tip from
167
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.360
everyone that's listening to this podcast,
including from myself, whether they are your
168
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.200
cup of tea, whether they are
your particular fighter that you like. You
169
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.440
need to give Uzman and Vulk their
props for this fight. This very much
170
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:00.240
solidifies the idea of stay ready so
you don't ever have to get ready because
171
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.919
we're not privy to who was given
a phone call and where the match making
172
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.600
was trying to be made in order
to scramble and get this fight at Abu
173
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.120
Dhabi to become a reality. So
we don't have Olivera, we have Vulk,
174
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.440
we don't have Paula Costa, but
we have number one ranked middleweight Kamara
175
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:24.399
Usman, which makes this even more
interesting because if you somehow, if somehow
176
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:30.759
Usman is able to pull out defeeding
the ever dangerous Homsat Chamaya, who did
177
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.799
make weight, by the way,
there have been some problems with him in
178
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.600
the past and welterweight making weight.
He makes his debut at middleweight, and
179
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:43.679
now he's going from a ranked number
four welterweight to an unranked middleweight versus the
180
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:50.039
number one guy. Both guys make
weight, showing their preparedness. But you
181
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.240
got to look at something here if
and this was brought up by ash and
182
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.639
Against the Fence the Fan MMA channel. He brought this up, and this
183
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.919
is so true that let's say that
Kamara Usman on short notice is able to
184
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.960
defeat Homsat Chamaiev tonight. Let's just
be hypothetical, because there's nothing for sure
185
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:15.039
in this sport. But if he
does, that makes him number one contender
186
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:21.919
in the middleweights for Sean Strickland.
Guests who has already fought Sean Strickland.
187
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:29.080
Usman fought him and beat him in
desirable fashion back in twenty seventeen. Can
188
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.480
you imagine for him to be ranked
number one to come in a late notice
189
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:41.240
defeat Homsought Chamaya of the machine that
everybody is afraid to face and defeat him
190
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:42.480
be able to stand in front of
Sean Strickland say hey, remember me,
191
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:51.000
what a build up? Even Shamayah
getting a shot against Sean Strickland, this
192
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.720
is a phenomenal championship build up.
Either way you go, this is a
193
00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:00.159
win win for the fans. So
I have to give props that this this
194
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.799
fight and Abu Dhabi is putting the
wheels in place and we're churning in a
195
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:10.559
direction that is a lot of fun
Blockhead Nation. But you know, I'm
196
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.440
just curious about all that were called
for Bacca. Were there any other fighters
197
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.960
who said they couldn't take the call
because they weren't ready? Gaechie was one
198
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:22.079
of them. Thus we have him
doing an open sparred and grappling session with
199
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.319
Uzman prior to the fight in Abu
Dhabi, and we have that heart stopping
200
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.359
moment of oh my gosh, did
he do something to his leg? Well,
201
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:32.319
by the way, it's not keeping
him from making the walk, is
202
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:36.759
it? And can I just take
a minute just to put some hype on
203
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.960
the next part I want to share. This one has me excited. If
204
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.039
you are not able to afford the
pay per view, may I suggest you
205
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:52.920
stick around for the pre lim main
event. Oh my goodness, a fan
206
00:17:53.039 --> 00:18:00.440
favorite and a favorite of mine versus
a well respected Tim Elliott. I'm talking
207
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:07.559
about Tim Elliott versus Mohammed Makayev.
Guys, I am a huge, avid
208
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.960
fan for Mohammed and Makayev for the
flyweight division. This is an exciting UK
209
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:18.480
fighter that I can easily anybody can
easily get behind with his explosiveness and just
210
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.839
his in ring performance. It's so
incredible. But let me tell you,
211
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.559
don't think that Tim Elliott, as
they said, doesn't have more tread on
212
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:30.359
the tires. He certainly does because
his last bouts have all gone three rounds.
213
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.160
This is a guy who can last. This is a guy who can
214
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.319
get the decision if need be.
Tim Elliott is still tough as nails.
215
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.759
So you need an exciting fight to
watch Tim Elliott versus Mohammad and Makaiev.
216
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:45.880
If it's already too late to see
it, go back and see the highlight
217
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.680
reels. This should be an exciting
fight. And sometimes when I say that,
218
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:52.640
sometimes they will amber heard the bed. I get that, just like
219
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.359
my Texas Rangers did. And I'm
still crying in my cupcakes as of last
220
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:02.599
night. But still to divert my
mind from that Macaiah versus Tim Elliott is
221
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:07.039
something that could truly make me feel
better about all that's super excited. Now,
222
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:12.599
if we look at the other main
event that nobody's talking about, Uncliath
223
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:22.039
versus Johnny Walker. Could this potentially
be as some have discussed, including the
224
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.480
famous Chail sun And talked about on
his podcast, about this being a mismatch.
225
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.680
Well, when it comes to age
and stature, it certainly doesn't seem
226
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.519
like it, except that Johnny Walker
is a few inches above on Caliath.
227
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:44.640
But if we go by the fight
record, possibly since Akalia is eighteen wins,
228
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.000
one loss, one no contest,
and Johnny Walker is twenty one and
229
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:53.799
seven, possibly somewhat of a mismatch. When it comes to the rankings,
230
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.480
you got the number two guy versus
the number seven guy, a heck of
231
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:07.359
an opportunity for Johnny Walker and everything
to lose to be relevant in the discussion
232
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.880
for the light heavyweight bouts for Uncleliav, so that one is one to be
233
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.279
watching. I don't know if we
can call it a mismatch, but by
234
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.559
the numbers it certainly can be.
The fighting bet and bets are not even
235
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.839
in so we're not really sure on
which one is favored as of right now
236
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.000
going into this fight, but it
could very much change for the odds throughout
237
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:32.000
the day. Should be interesting.
Nonetheless, don't have an update on that
238
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:37.599
one yet, but still is it
worth tuning in to tonight's fight with Islam
239
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:44.680
Makischev versus Volkanowski two Absolutely, Kamara
Uzman versus homsat Chamia absolutely just a barn
240
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.640
burder potential of a fight there.
Uncle leaversus Johnny Walker, great stuff.
241
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:56.000
The pre lim main event Number ten
versus Number eleven Mohammed Makaia versus Tim Elliott
242
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.039
to hold their status on either to
move up in the rankings in the top
243
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.599
ten or to be bumped down and
happening to fight out that this is just
244
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.720
phenomenal rank an amazing fight, or
at least it has the potential to be
245
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.400
so. So I hope that has
been enough to talk you into the building
246
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.880
Blockhead Nation. We'll definitely come and
discuss some few things come next week.
247
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.880
It's good to be back with y'all
doing Peanuts and MMA. Like I said,
248
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:27.960
I'm doing this one super early,
so my quality of rhetoric may not
249
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.599
quite not be there, but I
certainly hope that I'll talk you into the
250
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.759
building for UFC two ninety four tonight. We'll see you guys next Saturday,
251
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.119
same blockhead time, same blockhand channel
1
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.519
Broadcasting live. Good morning, good
afternoon, good evening, good night,
2
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.600
whatever time you're tuning in, I
thank you for stopping by the show.
3
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:39.880
You are listening to your favorite blockhead, the only podcast in the podcasting world
4
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:44.479
that can somehow incorporate the Peanuts comic
strip one minute and then be talking about
5
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.399
MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon the
next. I am your host. My
6
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.359
name is Brian Little. I'm gonna
admit I've done the episode a little bit
7
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.359
backwards this week. I've already got
part two done that should already be coming
8
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.240
up pretty soon. I'm just now
sitting down for part one while the guys
9
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.880
against the Fan MMA channel are recording
and they are live doing the updates on
10
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.280
UFC two ninety four. But I'm
gonna go ahead and start off with It's
11
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.599
ten days away. Mark your calendars. Write this down. Take a little
12
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:18.280
note. This is not a public
service announcement. This is absolute truth.
13
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:26.359
The Great Pumpkin will be here in
ten days. He will rise out of
14
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.719
the pumpkin patch and bring toys to
all the good little children that believe in
15
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:38.480
him. That's the problem. People
don't believe that the Great Pumpkin is real,
16
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:45.040
and we need to talk about some
moral ethics that pertain to pumpkins.
17
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.560
Okay, I'm getting a lot of
this off of my chest. I'm gonna
18
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:56.319
admit it. Why the Great Pumpkin
doesn't have more frontline headline coverage is annoying
19
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.680
to me. This is not a
shoot. This is absolutely absurd. It's
20
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.680
been real since Linus spoken into existence
waiting for the Great pump It's not his
21
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:13.080
fault that the Great Pumpkin didn't choose
his pumpkin patch. He said himself that
22
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.000
he chooses the one he thinks is
the most sincere. He's one spot in
23
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:21.360
America, across this whole world.
He's one tiny little speck in the universe.
24
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:28.039
And the Great Pumpkin is such a
deity that he didn't choose that one.
25
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:34.080
Just because it didn't happen. We
never saw Linus witness the real Great
26
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:40.120
Pumpkin, and quite frankly, neither
of I. That doesn't make it untrue.
27
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.319
More of you believe in Santa Claus
than you do the Great Pumpkin.
28
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.840
He's had more publicity. I don't
think he's number two anymore. He's probably
29
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.280
number two, thy two hundred and
seven somewhere in there, and it's a
30
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.360
shame that's diminished that much. There's
no excuse for inflation being as high as
31
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.800
it is, and there's no excuse
for not realizing that the Great Pumpkin is
32
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:08.280
a real thing. And I'm not
even speaking religion here, I'm just speaking
33
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.159
that there are some more effic because
all of you that are drinking pumpkin spice
34
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:21.360
as soon as the weather is cooler, you are to blame. You've got
35
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:27.919
to stop the madness America. We've
got to stop shedding innocent blood. We've
36
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:34.000
got to stop innocent blood and guts
being spilled whenever you take a knife to
37
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:40.439
the interior of a pumpkin. They
have no chance against our weaponry, just
38
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.560
like Native Americans had no chance against
the Europeans that led conquest and exploration and
39
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.960
total colonization, pillage, and plundering. They have no chance. So I've
40
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.759
got to give them a voice here. It's bad enough that we have a
41
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.039
mediocre band from back in the day
known as Smashing Pumpkins. Do he all
42
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:05.520
listen to that group? Do you
really? Do you like? The group
43
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:11.599
Smashing Pumpkins the only one I know
that men typically like. According to the
44
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.520
artist, whenever he walks up to
the lead singer said it like this every
45
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.759
time he meets guys. The guys
you say, I love that song nineteen
46
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.160
seventy nine, I really don't like
the rest of your stuff. What's so
47
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.839
great about nineteen seventy nine? What's
so great about that year? And what's
48
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.279
so great about this song? What's
so great about the grip? I have
49
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:36.279
given Smashing Pumpkins a chance and it
absolutely left my ears bleeding, and I
50
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:43.120
don't have any real appreciation for that
band. So I'm just going, what
51
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.480
is this uprise against pumpkins that I
have missed? I don't get it.
52
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:53.439
Does it go back to the headless
horseman throwing a pumpkin? What all of
53
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.959
a sudden makes that where you cut
some eyes, ears, and a nose
54
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.959
out of it and you put a
face on it with jagged teeth that could
55
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.959
have been fixed and went to a
dentist within enough time. But why is
56
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:08.680
it that is terrifying that you filled
with fire and you throw up broken pumpkin
57
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.240
and that terrifies a man across a
bridge and he never comes back, and
58
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.680
it becomes folklore across the United States
of America. Taught in our kids nursery
59
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.360
rhymes and art history textbooks. What
is this whole thing about Ichabod being heavy
60
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:27.240
hearted and cristfallen and being chased by
a man that's headless, but he chooses
61
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.160
one type of fruit he chooses or
vegetable, which everyone is fruit or vegetable?
62
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:41.759
Who gives a rats Reariand why that
has become such a disdain that now
63
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.519
there's no belief in the Great Pumpkin. His rankings have diminished so much.
64
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.040
How is it we have no moral
ethics that we all just go have our
65
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:56.000
pumpkin spice and we drink innocent blood. How is it that we would name
66
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:00.920
a famous band called Smashing Pumpkins and
act like we have named it something clever?
67
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.639
What's clever about it? How is
it that a headless horseman throws a
68
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.319
pumpkin and this sends a reign of
terror all through the New England colonies,
69
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.240
and it's spread through our history textbooks
and our nursery rhymes for our children to
70
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.480
do. Are you seeing that I've
got a problem here? The comic strip
71
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.720
this week is all about the Great
Pumpkin. You can follow the Charles Schultz
72
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:28.639
Museum. And I am on Linus's
side. I should be ecstatic about it,
73
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:33.199
but none of you are giving him
a chance, and you are absolutely
74
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:39.800
causing genocide across the nation to where
this legacy will not continue much longer.
75
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.199
I'm still counting on the day I'm
gonna see him in the pumpkin patch.
76
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.160
I'm still waiting for the Great Pumpkin
to appear. I'm waiting for him.
77
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:53.079
I am, and you people will
see there's gonna be one around here that's
78
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.040
releasing here. If you gonna be
the Dallas for Worth area, it might
79
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.680
be Chicago, it might be the
UK whereby guys from against the Fence Mma
80
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.959
Channel are hanging out. He could
come up from there. It could come
81
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.519
out of California. Not a lot
of good things come out of California in
82
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.800
these days, but it could come
from one of those. It couldn't come
83
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.399
from a Mexico pumpkin patch. Well, you never know where this is coming
84
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.600
from. Pump telling you he's looking
for that pumpkin patch that is sincere.
85
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.680
And when the Great Pumpkin rises out
of the pumpkin past with his flying through
86
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.319
the other his back of toys,
I will be waiting. Every year I
87
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.879
say this, I'll be there sitting
in that Pumpkin patch waiting for the Great
88
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.040
Pumpkin. I'm not gonna just go
and throw him out like the evening trash,
89
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.160
because so many of y'all have not
appreciated who the great Pumpkin is.
90
00:07:38.199 --> 00:08:05.240
What idea our scripture reaing for this
podcast comes from Revelation chapter one, verse
91
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.959
seven. Behold he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him,
92
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.959
and they also which pierced him,
And all kindreds of the earth shall wail
93
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.879
because of him. Even so Amen
reflection for Blue Laura. Bible says,
94
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.560
soon will be the coming of the
Lord from clouds and on high, at
95
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.960
long last, all creation will bow
before him in full recognition of his majesty
96
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.279
and glory. Praise the Lord,
all you people, lift his name on
97
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:43.080
high, bask in his redemptive power
and in his blood. Grain assault on
98
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.840
everything you just heard on the first
part of this episode blockadmation. That's me
99
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.600
having some fun with some content from
the peanuts. But whenever I read the
100
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.519
scripture of the day, it's truth. Believe on him and be saved in
101
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.240
the final day. Well, just
fyi, I'm coming at you early this
102
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:09.120
morning. Since the fight card for
Abu Dhabi UFC two ninety four really begins
103
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.759
at nine AM. About one o'clock
is when the main card comes on,
104
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.480
and there's a few things that I
do want to catch, so I decided
105
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.320
I'm going to make this recording prior
to the event, so by the time
106
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.360
that you might be tuning in,
the fights of might already be over in
107
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.399
Abu Dhabi, and I just kind
of had to get a few things out.
108
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:35.399
So starting off with from last episode, I had mentioned about that should
109
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.639
happen that was kind of on the
lips of people already, especially Bobby Green,
110
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.360
who had said that he's looking for
a contender and he wants to fight
111
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:52.600
again in December and he wants Dan
Hooker, and I had mentioned on my
112
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.639
last episode, all you need to
make that an amazing bout would be to
113
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.679
make that a BMF title, because
these two absolutely fit the bill when it
114
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.519
comes to the criteria for a BMF
bout. And no sooner did I say
115
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:13.559
that that the press is already heated
up all of the normal articles that I
116
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.279
go to to get information for this
podcast to be as accurate as I possibly
117
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.120
can as a fan of the sport, they all hint at the fact that
118
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:30.679
that is then what's called sniper range. So the bout's already been there and
119
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:37.759
it's being talked about in December in
Austin. I'll tell you what would truly
120
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:43.360
fill the stands for the arena in
Austin, Texas would be to make this
121
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.080
a BMF bout Bobby Green versus Dan
Hooker. Is excited enough, it is,
122
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.320
and Dan Hooker already said that he
was looking to face a gam rock,
123
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.679
but if he can't get his way, then he's certainly down for fighting
124
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.679
Bobby Green. That was then two
weeks ago. Still, either way,
125
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.919
it's not that I spoke it into
existence. It's just the MMA fans could
126
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.399
already see it and smell it from
a mile away. All we got to
127
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.679
do now is put pen to paper. Seems like the fight's being offered and
128
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:16.679
we have a venue. We just
need confirmation at this point to see if
129
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.840
that can be the confirmed fight with
Dan Hooker and Bobby Green. Either way,
130
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:28.039
phenomenal main event that could happen in
Austin pretty soon. So we look
131
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.320
at the card for today. We
got two guys who stepped up and we
132
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:39.519
had a heart stopping moment because Kamara
Usman is doing an open grappling session with
133
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:46.000
Justin Gaechee and he confirms that he
hears something pop. Apparently it's his knee.
134
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.200
Well, either way, within twenty
four hours we still have the bout.
135
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.159
Nothing's confirmed that Usman would back down
at this point. I'm sure he
136
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.120
got treatment that was necessary for him
to move forward. But it's a scary
137
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:05.399
moment because God, we've already had
so many heart stopping conundrums and dilemmas that
138
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.039
have happened with the main event and
the co main event with this fight.
139
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:16.559
So you got main event Islam versus
Vulk the rematch, and then you got
140
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:22.879
co main event hamsat Chamayah of making
his debut at middleweight against Commado Usman,
141
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:31.159
which the original bouts were supposed to
be Chemaiah versus Paula Costa and Islam versus
142
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:37.480
Olivera. Olivera pulls out with an
injury. The doctors are gonna pull paul
143
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.159
A Costa because of the injury on
his elbow. I don't remember exactly what
144
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.840
it was, possibly a staff infection, some type of fatty deposit on his
145
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.000
elbow, whatever it was, it
got diagnosed. When we said this guy
146
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.960
is not going to the cage,
and this is where I have to ask
147
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.840
the question. Now, if we're
gonna look at who was given the call
148
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:05.720
to step in, I mean,
there is a well known saying stay ready
149
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.240
so you don't have to get ready. If ever there was proof of that.
150
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.440
You have that in two guys.
You have that in Kamara Usman,
151
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.559
you have that in Alexander Volkanowski,
and I can give a hypothesis here,
152
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:26.120
or at least some type of a
theory that is usually well founded with this
153
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:31.240
sport. Most of the time,
the guys who dominate the world of MMA
154
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:37.240
have a wrestling background. Does that
always necessarily make them the most exciting fighter
155
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.879
to watch? Noah doesn't, but
it certainly proves to make them the most
156
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:48.960
prepared. When we look at the
rankings on who might have been called in.
157
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.960
Steps kamar Usman on late notice,
and I've got to give him credit
158
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.559
for that for being prepared to take
this fight even though he's number one contender.
159
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:07.240
He's got to stay ready and for
Oliver to step out and instep Alexander
160
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:13.399
Volkanowski, current day featherweight champion,
willing to be prepared because apparently the phone
161
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.399
call was made to the current holding
BMF title holder Justin Gaechee, who is
162
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:24.200
a phenomenal fighter who very much fits
the bill for being the baddest man on
163
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.159
the planet, as we saw with
him against Dustin Porier. But his exact
164
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.279
words were, I can't make the
weight. Who are the guys that are
165
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.440
ready to make weight and step in
at a moment's notice? And both of
166
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:41.240
them have a phenomenal wrestling background.
Vulk and Usman deserve a hat tip from
167
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.360
everyone that's listening to this podcast,
including from myself, whether they are your
168
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.200
cup of tea, whether they are
your particular fighter that you like. You
169
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.440
need to give Uzman and Vulk their
props for this fight. This very much
170
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:00.240
solidifies the idea of stay ready so
you don't ever have to get ready because
171
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.919
we're not privy to who was given
a phone call and where the match making
172
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.600
was trying to be made in order
to scramble and get this fight at Abu
173
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.120
Dhabi to become a reality. So
we don't have Olivera, we have Vulk,
174
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.440
we don't have Paula Costa, but
we have number one ranked middleweight Kamara
175
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:24.399
Usman, which makes this even more
interesting because if you somehow, if somehow
176
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:30.759
Usman is able to pull out defeeding
the ever dangerous Homsat Chamaya, who did
177
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.799
make weight, by the way,
there have been some problems with him in
178
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.600
the past and welterweight making weight.
He makes his debut at middleweight, and
179
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:43.679
now he's going from a ranked number
four welterweight to an unranked middleweight versus the
180
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:50.039
number one guy. Both guys make
weight, showing their preparedness. But you
181
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.240
got to look at something here if
and this was brought up by ash and
182
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.639
Against the Fence the Fan MMA channel. He brought this up, and this
183
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.919
is so true that let's say that
Kamara Usman on short notice is able to
184
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.960
defeat Homsat Chamaiev tonight. Let's just
be hypothetical, because there's nothing for sure
185
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:15.039
in this sport. But if he
does, that makes him number one contender
186
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:21.919
in the middleweights for Sean Strickland.
Guests who has already fought Sean Strickland.
187
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:29.080
Usman fought him and beat him in
desirable fashion back in twenty seventeen. Can
188
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.480
you imagine for him to be ranked
number one to come in a late notice
189
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:41.240
defeat Homsought Chamaya of the machine that
everybody is afraid to face and defeat him
190
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:42.480
be able to stand in front of
Sean Strickland say hey, remember me,
191
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:51.000
what a build up? Even Shamayah
getting a shot against Sean Strickland, this
192
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.720
is a phenomenal championship build up.
Either way you go, this is a
193
00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:00.159
win win for the fans. So
I have to give props that this this
194
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.799
fight and Abu Dhabi is putting the
wheels in place and we're churning in a
195
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:10.559
direction that is a lot of fun
Blockhead Nation. But you know, I'm
196
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.440
just curious about all that were called
for Bacca. Were there any other fighters
197
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.960
who said they couldn't take the call
because they weren't ready? Gaechie was one
198
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:22.079
of them. Thus we have him
doing an open sparred and grappling session with
199
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.319
Uzman prior to the fight in Abu
Dhabi, and we have that heart stopping
200
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.359
moment of oh my gosh, did
he do something to his leg? Well,
201
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:32.319
by the way, it's not keeping
him from making the walk, is
202
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:36.759
it? And can I just take
a minute just to put some hype on
203
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.960
the next part I want to share. This one has me excited. If
204
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.039
you are not able to afford the
pay per view, may I suggest you
205
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:52.920
stick around for the pre lim main
event. Oh my goodness, a fan
206
00:17:53.039 --> 00:18:00.440
favorite and a favorite of mine versus
a well respected Tim Elliott. I'm talking
207
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:07.559
about Tim Elliott versus Mohammed Makayev.
Guys, I am a huge, avid
208
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.960
fan for Mohammed and Makayev for the
flyweight division. This is an exciting UK
209
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:18.480
fighter that I can easily anybody can
easily get behind with his explosiveness and just
210
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.839
his in ring performance. It's so
incredible. But let me tell you,
211
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.559
don't think that Tim Elliott, as
they said, doesn't have more tread on
212
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:30.359
the tires. He certainly does because
his last bouts have all gone three rounds.
213
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.160
This is a guy who can last. This is a guy who can
214
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.319
get the decision if need be.
Tim Elliott is still tough as nails.
215
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.759
So you need an exciting fight to
watch Tim Elliott versus Mohammad and Makaiev.
216
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:45.880
If it's already too late to see
it, go back and see the highlight
217
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.680
reels. This should be an exciting
fight. And sometimes when I say that,
218
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:52.640
sometimes they will amber heard the bed. I get that, just like
219
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.359
my Texas Rangers did. And I'm
still crying in my cupcakes as of last
220
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:02.599
night. But still to divert my
mind from that Macaiah versus Tim Elliott is
221
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:07.039
something that could truly make me feel
better about all that's super excited. Now,
222
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:12.599
if we look at the other main
event that nobody's talking about, Uncliath
223
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:22.039
versus Johnny Walker. Could this potentially
be as some have discussed, including the
224
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.480
famous Chail sun And talked about on
his podcast, about this being a mismatch.
225
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.680
Well, when it comes to age
and stature, it certainly doesn't seem
226
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.519
like it, except that Johnny Walker
is a few inches above on Caliath.
227
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:44.640
But if we go by the fight
record, possibly since Akalia is eighteen wins,
228
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.000
one loss, one no contest,
and Johnny Walker is twenty one and
229
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:53.799
seven, possibly somewhat of a mismatch. When it comes to the rankings,
230
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.480
you got the number two guy versus
the number seven guy, a heck of
231
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:07.359
an opportunity for Johnny Walker and everything
to lose to be relevant in the discussion
232
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.880
for the light heavyweight bouts for Uncleliav, so that one is one to be
233
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.279
watching. I don't know if we
can call it a mismatch, but by
234
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.559
the numbers it certainly can be.
The fighting bet and bets are not even
235
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.839
in so we're not really sure on
which one is favored as of right now
236
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.000
going into this fight, but it
could very much change for the odds throughout
237
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:32.000
the day. Should be interesting.
Nonetheless, don't have an update on that
238
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:37.599
one yet, but still is it
worth tuning in to tonight's fight with Islam
239
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:44.680
Makischev versus Volkanowski two Absolutely, Kamara
Uzman versus homsat Chamia absolutely just a barn
240
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.640
burder potential of a fight there.
Uncle leaversus Johnny Walker, great stuff.
241
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:56.000
The pre lim main event Number ten
versus Number eleven Mohammed Makaia versus Tim Elliott
242
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.039
to hold their status on either to
move up in the rankings in the top
243
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.599
ten or to be bumped down and
happening to fight out that this is just
244
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.720
phenomenal rank an amazing fight, or
at least it has the potential to be
245
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.400
so. So I hope that has
been enough to talk you into the building
246
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.880
Blockhead Nation. We'll definitely come and
discuss some few things come next week.
247
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.880
It's good to be back with y'all
doing Peanuts and MMA. Like I said,
248
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:27.960
I'm doing this one super early,
so my quality of rhetoric may not
249
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.599
quite not be there, but I
certainly hope that I'll talk you into the
250
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.759
building for UFC two ninety four tonight. We'll see you guys next Saturday,
251
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.119
