1
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:29.120
Broadcasting Live good evening, Blockhead Nation, thank you for stopping

2
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:33.359
by once again. You are listening to your favorite blockhead

3
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.039
the only podcast in the podcasting world that can somehow

4
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.240
incorporate the Peanuts comic strip one minute and then be

5
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.960
talking about MMA and warriors inside the Octagon the next.

6
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.119
I am your host. My name is Brian Little. In

7
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.399
case you are new to this podcast, welcome, Come on in,

8
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.520
sit down, take a seat, relax, and just know there

9
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.000
are three things that will always be talked about. Number one,

10
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.399
God is King. Number two, Peanuts is the single most

11
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:03.600
successful comic strip American history. And number three, mixed martial

12
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.239
arts is the greatest sport under God's hot sun. This

13
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.799
podcast is free to you. It's at your convenience. If

14
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:11.400
you want to listen to part one, you're gonna hear

15
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.680
a lot more about the Peanuts on this side. If

16
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.879
you want to wait till part two, after the scripture

17
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.079
of the day, you're gonna hear me go into the

18
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:19.920
world of mixed martial arts. We got a fight not

19
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.319
going on to Moyne, Iowa tonight, and I'll be breaking

20
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.280
some of that down on the next segment. So there

21
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:30.000
have been times that Charlie Brown himself has actually changed

22
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.200
his skin color. Now, there have been times that, out

23
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.920
of either frustration or out of humiliation, he has taken

24
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:45.519
his lunch sack and has popped it over his head. Now,

25
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.840
in the TV series, when he would do this, this

26
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.439
would not get him any acclaim at all. First of all,

27
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.640
he'd still be ignored, or he would still be ridiculed

28
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.040
by Lucy or anybody else that knows is that it's him.

29
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.680
But when he goes to summer camp and he puts

30
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:12.000
a paper bag over his head for the first time,

31
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:16.159
he's got a different persona. What am I talking about?

32
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:17.919
I'm talking about the time that he played a role

33
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.680
of mister Sack. This was actually one of Charles Schultz's

34
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.319
favorite storylines from the comic strips. The Charles Schultz Museum

35
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.800
laid this out beautifully. It was talking about Charlie Brown,

36
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.560
who can think of little besides baseball. He sees the

37
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.439
rising sun coming up over the hill and he finds

38
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.319
out I've got a rash that makes his head look

39
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.319
like a rising sun. So to cover this up, he

40
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.199
uses the sack over his head and he heads off

41
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:57.400
to summer camp, where he's immediately admired by everybody, believe

42
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.479
it or not, he takes on leadership roles. He becomes

43
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.960
camp Bread, isn't it, But only as long as his

44
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:08.639
face remains unseen. So the storyline is actually referring to

45
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.719
Charles Schultz when he joined the army. If you didn't know, Sparky,

46
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.479
Charles Schultz was a foot soldier during World War Two.

47
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.360
He actually developed, for the first time in his life,

48
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.240
a sense of self confidence that he did not experience

49
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.520
as a kid. He rose to the ranking of staff sergeant,

50
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.599
which means he would be in e sixth grade. For me,

51
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.639
who was a former Navy sailor, that would be a

52
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.199
first class petty officer. So he makes his way up

53
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:44.439
the ranks in leadership, and so he creates this unexpected

54
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:48.719
but temporary twist on good old Charlie Brown in nineteen

55
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.039
seventy three. We have to wait until then to see

56
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.599
him play the role of mister Sack. But it turned

57
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.400
out to be one of Charles Schultz's favorites, and that

58
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.240
happens to be on display at the Charles Schultz Museum.

59
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.599
So if you're in the Santa Rosa area, or if

60
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.080
you're listening to me and never want to have a

61
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.400
chance to go to the Charles Schultz Museum. You should,

62
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.439
And so looking at that, I kind of have to

63
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:18.639
shift gears a little bit just because there is a

64
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.480
new trend that's come out over the last week or so,

65
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.920
and can I tell you where it originated? Probably not.

66
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.279
I'm sure some of you listening could tell me exactly

67
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.079
where it originated from. But I'm going to give a

68
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.600
counter argument to this. I'm going to actually flip the

69
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.560
script on some of you because there's been this discussion

70
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:47.240
across social media that if you took one hundred men

71
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:53.600
and you decided to attack a gorilla. Now I'm assuming

72
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.720
this is a silver back either in the wild, which

73
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.920
would be even worse, or one that has been content

74
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:08.120
pained to a zoo, one that would be considered in captivity. Okay, again,

75
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.079
I'm probably gonna mix this up a little bit, but

76
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:17.160
that's the discussion. Could one hundred men attack and defeat

77
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:23.279
in a fight aint gorilla? Now you could talk to

78
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.800
me about mannerisms of a gorilla. You can talk to

79
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:31.120
me about different trainings that each of these guys would have.

80
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.399
You could talk about substituting out guys, and if you

81
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.560
need to bring in a fresh one in until you've

82
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.439
defeated said gorilla. But how this whole thing is really

83
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.279
blown up all over the internet and I'm seeing people

84
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:50.160
get into real in depth discussions about this. And forgive

85
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.680
me blockhead Nation, but I'm gonna probably put some cracks

86
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:54.680
in your armor right now by asking a simple question,

87
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:02.240
why would you want to attack a gorialla? And I

88
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.920
don't care if it's in the wild or in a

89
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:12.639
local zoo. Why would that be something that crosses your mind,

90
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:20.720
whether we're talking appearance or if we're talking reality. If

91
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.600
I can take you back to the original Beauty and

92
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:28.240
the Beasts story from the nineteen thirties, we've seen what

93
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:33.199
terror a larger than life gorilla could bring in the

94
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.360
cinema known as the movie called King Kong. You know

95
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:42.879
that one. Ultimately King Kong is defeated at the end

96
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.360
as he climbs the tower and they shoot him down

97
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.920
with airplanes. If you watch the one that's from the

98
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.279
nineteen seventies, it's even more graphic. But if you watch

99
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.000
the one from two thousand and five, it's the same

100
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:57.519
outcome all three times in the movie. But do you

101
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:04.560
really feel good about yourself watching this primate fall into

102
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:09.040
his death. Maybe I should throw another one at you.

103
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.240
That wasn't even a box office success, but it's a

104
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:21.120
movie of gorillas getting out of control, these dangerous primates

105
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.560
in the movie from nineteen ninety five called Congo. It's

106
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.920
not that great of a movie, but you know, it's

107
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:32.720
one of those if you invade their territory, what do

108
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:38.160
you expect them to do? To cower to just hand

109
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:39.879
you a leaf off of a tree and try to

110
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.160
make a peace treaty? What do you expect to happen here?

111
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.959
And there have been real discussions about how you would

112
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.720
systematically do this, who you would recruit, and how I

113
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.000
would handle you know, why would you want to do this?

114
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.759
Is this really something that our society and cultures celebrates

115
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:06.399
thinking like this, having a real Do we not have

116
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:12.439
other things to do? Do we not have any sympathy

117
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:18.639
whatsoever for a primate that in his original habitat or

118
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.160
has been taken from said habitat to be put behind

119
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:27.800
plate glass for your entertainment? Is this really what we

120
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:33.000
want to analyze and interpret block in nation. I'm sorry,

121
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.039
but I can't get behind this one. I don't have

122
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.720
a dog in this fight, and I just really don't

123
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:42.279
want to believe. I guess I didn't want to believe

124
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.759
that a blonde, brainless chick could talk about a move

125
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.039
in bed that can make a guy go crazy and

126
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.759
that become the third greatest podcast in all of the world.

127
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.879
Was shit fell off after a rug pull from cryptocurrency

128
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.240
that she had no volmit in. But now we're shifting

129
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.600
over to something like this. Sometimes there are trends that

130
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.279
I understanding other ones that go I don't get it,

131
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.720
and I really don't want to be a part of it.

132
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.080
And if you do blockhead Nation, you're entitled to your

133
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:14.279
own opinion. I mean, freedom of the press and freedom

134
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.279
of speech and you know First Amendment right, So I'm

135
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.840
all for constitutional disputes and all these things, But this

136
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:26.080
is what you really want to talk about. You want

137
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:30.240
to determine that. I mean, it's almost the same as

138
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:34.559
having a discussion about what about comic books or about

139
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.399
theatrical things like King Kong or Congo. I mean, you've

140
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.600
had incidents where what was that one story about the

141
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.320
grizzly man who thought that he could be one with

142
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.639
the bears? What happened to him? He got killed? In

143
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.960
their habitat was foolish. Sorry for the loss, but it

144
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.000
was foolish to begin with. You have that guy, the

145
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.559
crocodile hunter, who wasn't even led to his death by

146
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:01.200
a crocodile, what was it? By a huge stingray out

147
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.919
in the ocean. Because there's this, There should be a

148
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:10.840
separation between mother nature and animals and their natural habitat

149
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:15.200
and human beings who have no business being there. And

150
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:19.759
this whole comic book discussion has exploded across all forms

151
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:25.519
of social media, and I'm opting out blockhead Nation. But

152
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:30.320
do you want to discuss comics and games and you know,

153
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.559
maybe things like Batcave comics and toys? We can shift

154
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.360
you back and you see them shifting gears here back

155
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.519
to the Charles Schultz Museum. As of today they had

156
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.840
a free comic book Day, and in nineteen fifty three

157
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.240
you had a comic strip with Charlie Brown discussing comic

158
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.720
books with Patty where he realizes, I'd give anything to

159
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.360
know whether she actually likes me for my personality or

160
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:57.120
from my comic book collection. I mean, that's a debate

161
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:01.200
that goes on in Charlie Brown's mind. Here to address

162
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.080
what's out there? Is that really the discussion you want

163
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.559
to have. You want to determine if you and one

164
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:14.039
hundred men who have nothing better to do want to

165
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:19.679
attack a silver backed gorilla for whatever reason and determine

166
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:24.279
the winner. Where are we at in society here, Blockhead Nation?

167
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:27.279
Can we ask that question? Can we do a deep

168
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:46.720
dive on that one? Our scripture in for this podcast

169
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:51.240
comes from Psalm chapter thirty two, verse eight. I will

170
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.840
instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou

171
00:11:54.919 --> 00:12:00.360
shalt go. I will guide thee with mine eye. Reflection

172
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.879
from Blue Lair Bible says God promises to instruct his

173
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.960
children into every righteous path. He sends us his very

174
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.879
spirit to guide us in his ways. God cares for

175
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.519
us beyond measure imaginable, and his spirit will be faithful

176
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:21.320
to illuminate the glorious treasures of His truth. So ask

177
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.440
God to teach you, Blockad Nation. Ask God to make

178
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:29.919
you teachable, and He shall faithfully do both. And by

179
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.919
your growth, God will use you to edify to others

180
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:39.360
in the body of Christ. As we shift into UFC

181
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.399
Fight Night Tonight, Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa,

182
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.279
you got Mishtate closing out the pre Lambs or moving

183
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.720
right into I'm only going to spend time on two

184
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.200
fights tonight blockad Nation just because the co main event

185
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:58.559
is definitely going to be Ba Nichol's biggest task to

186
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:04.120
overcome so far are the number thirteen rnered de Ritter. Okay,

187
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.159
So when bow Nicol came into the scene in the

188
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.919
UFC through Daniel White Contender series, there was already an

189
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.840
assumption that he would dominate and he would be ranked

190
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.759
in no time. This is a chance for him to

191
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.600
be in the top fifteen if he does well tonight.

192
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:27.840
So we're talking less than two years. He's still undefeated.

193
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.440
He does have four UFC wins and three of those

194
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.240
did come by finish, so I think that qualifies as

195
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.159
living up to the hype. He's utilized that all American

196
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.639
level wrestling, that he's got to his advantage with a

197
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.840
serious takedown average, and he's improved his striking significantly. We

198
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.519
saw that with the Paul Craig fight. But again, to

199
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.759
have a chance to break into the rankings, this is

200
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:57.879
his chance here, and I'll tell you that the experts

201
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.639
have given this one to bow Nickel as well, ESPN, MMA,

202
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:05.120
Bral Komodo and all those guys have all said that

203
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.279
Nickel is asking to step up in competition. He's getting

204
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.519
it and he will overcome it. And most of the

205
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.840
guys that are on the ground are already giving him

206
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:21.600
the blessing, one of them particularly being Kevin Holland, who said, yeah,

207
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:26.159
he's gonna pull this one out. So this should be

208
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.960
an interesting fight for the comin event. So watching Bow

209
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.759
Nickel continue to a rising star, continue to be on

210
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.919
the rise. But you've got another guy here in the

211
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:40.039
main event who I refuse to look at as a

212
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:44.519
gatekeeper for the bantamweights. I think it's just showing how

213
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:51.480
dangerous the bantamweight rankings actually are. Because Corey Sandhagen is

214
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.960
coming off a unanious decision against umar and A Magametov

215
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.919
as of last August, and he was on a three

216
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:05.879
fight winning streak. He did defeat Cheeto Vera, and now

217
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.639
you've got him going against a guy who has slid

218
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:14.919
in very well, almost snakelike into the bantamweight division, former

219
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:20.799
flyweight champion of the UFC, Davison Figaredo. Okay, and this

220
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.759
is gonna be a very difficult challenge for Corey to

221
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.440
bounce back from his first loss since twenty twenty three

222
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.960
when he takes on Davison Figaredo at this point, so

223
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:35.440
I'm excited about the fight, and I'll tell you that

224
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.919
once again, when we look at the blessings, the experts

225
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:45.360
have already given this one to Corey. One in particular

226
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:51.879
was a former bantamweight champion himself, TJ. Dellashaw, who has

227
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.120
laid out in detail on how Sanhagen is going to win,

228
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:57.840
and he thinks it's going to look very similar to

229
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:04.519
what he did with Cheat, with his creativity, with his angles,

230
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:10.399
with the reach advantage, with not over committing when he

231
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.840
doesn't have to. So there are probably gonna be moments

232
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.159
in this fight tonight, as much as I hate to

233
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.639
say it, We're probably gonna see some moments where the

234
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.039
crowd in Des Moines is going to boo these guys,

235
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.080
possibly out of the building. I don't think you're gonna

236
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.639
have fight of the night with these two. You're gonna

237
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:28.360
have a systematic fight. You're gonna have a well thought

238
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:31.879
out fight, a really good battle plan from both guys.

239
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.000
And you know, if FIGUREL can get him down, then

240
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.519
his jiu jitsu is second to none. So his control

241
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.039
and his submissions, that's gonna be a weakness at core

242
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:43.840
He's gonna have to face so as we just saw

243
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:48.799
when he fought Umar. So this one isn't gonna be

244
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:53.879
one that just stands withstands the test of time. But

245
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:57.000
it shows that if you're gonna break into this organization

246
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:59.559
and break into the bantam weights, you got to go

247
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.200
through guy like Corey Sandhagen and Davidson. Figureedo is gonna

248
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:09.200
figure this out, especially tonight. Now looking forward into next week,

249
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:10.720
do we have a pay per view coming up? Yes,

250
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:14.559
we do. But here's the problem. This is gonna sound

251
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:20.319
almost petty coming from me. Montreal, Canada is not looking

252
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:26.319
like a promising pay per view. Why because the current

253
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:32.119
day Walter Waight title belt is Bleel Mohammad versus Jack

254
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:36.720
Della number five rank versus the champion. Now, this is

255
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:39.640
really hurts me to say this because I don't wish

256
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:45.839
this for talented guys like Jack Della. Here's what I

257
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:50.759
want to convey to my listeners. So Blockhead Nation, you've

258
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:55.079
heard of the show The Joe Rogan Experience. They listed

259
00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:00.720
out the viewings in when certain fighters go on Joe

260
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:05.119
Rogan's podcast and how many views on YouTube it would get.

261
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:08.799
So again, this is kind of the non traditional approach.

262
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.279
This is saying you're viewing the podcast, the Joe Rogan

263
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:17.480
Show when these fighters come on. When you had Elia

264
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:20.920
to Poria show up, it was one point four million

265
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:25.200
views within a single day. Okay, so the market is

266
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.359
doing very well in the world of fighting for Eliat Toporia.

267
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:34.799
When Yeri Prohasca was on The Joe Rogan Experience, he

268
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:39.000
gained one point four million views within a two month period.

269
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.680
Still not bad for the light heavyweight phenomenon that is

270
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:46.079
Uri pro Hosca. Still not bad. But again you're seeing

271
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.359
who's paying attention to who. Elia Toporia is high on

272
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.119
the list. One day over a million views took two

273
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.400
months for Yuri Prosca. It's going to take six months

274
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:06.240
for Israel Attisania to get that equivalent of viewings. Okay,

275
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.400
so we're going down the list here. Julia Taporia is

276
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:13.839
clearly ranked number one, at least with the views on

277
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:15.839
the Joe Rogan Experience. Out of the three I just

278
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:22.400
mentioned two months YEARI six months, Israel Atisanya within seven months.

279
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:28.720
When Balel Mohammed, who has a very good mma mind,

280
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:31.680
if you'll just listen to the guy. If you look

281
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:34.359
at the views that the Joe Rogan Experience got for

282
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:40.200
that particular episode, it was about seven hundred and twenty

283
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:48.839
six thousand views within a seven month period. I am

284
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:51.799
being as transparent and honest with you as I can.

285
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:57.480
Blockhead Nation that the viewership for Montreal, Canada UFC three

286
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:05.039
fifteen is not to break any records. Why because below

287
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:12.039
Mahomet is the main event, the Palestinian, the wrestling machine,

288
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:16.240
the guy that nobody wanted, including Dana White, to be

289
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:23.200
champion of this division, and that Blockhead Nation. As petty

290
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:26.920
as this may sound, and even I may be speculating,

291
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:31.920
that is a shame. That's a shame for the talent

292
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:34.880
that's on the main card. That is a shame for

293
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:38.640
guys like Ben Was Saint Denis. That is a shame

294
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:43.759
for our ladies like number one ranked Alexa Grosso. That

295
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:47.880
is a shame for the legend himself, the King of

296
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.519
Rio Jose Aldo. That is a shame that the co

297
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.799
main event is going to be Valentina Chefchenko in a

298
00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:01.039
flyway title belt, and the viewership is if it's anything

299
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:04.400
like what we're seeing on the Joe Rogan experience. It's

300
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:09.359
going to be low. There will be no records broken

301
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:16.359
unless the wyf Be curse is very real. More people

302
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.519
will probably watch Des Moines, Iowa than they will Montreal,

303
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:25.440
Canada because Buel Mohammed is going to put everybody to

304
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:30.680
sleep before they can even reach for the remote and

305
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:35.680
change it off of ESPN to any other streaming device

306
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:39.920
that they may have. That is a shame blockhead Nation.

307
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:43.960
It's a prediction, it's a bold one, and I'm making

308
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.920
it just like a bold statement of if you're a

309
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:51.680
person that wants to bum rush a gorilla and call

310
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.200
in reinforcements, I kind of worry about your state of mind,

311
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:58.519
blockhead Nation, but I don't worry about the ones that

312
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:02.039
keep coming back, because you're loyal and I appreciate every

313
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:03.960
one of you, and we will catch you next Saturday.

314
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:25.920
Blockhead Nation, same blockhead time, same blockhead champ. Hmmm.
