1
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:29.160
Broadcasting Live good Evening Blockhead Nation. I apologize if this

2
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.320
podcast is short sweetened to the point, but your favorite

3
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.280
blockhead just got back from church camp and there's only

4
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.200
so many fumes that I'm still running on. But thank

5
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.359
you for taking the time to listen to this little

6
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:44.359
podcast this evening. You are listening to your favorite blockhead,

7
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.880
the only podcast in the podcasting world that can somehow

8
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.840
incorporate the Peanuts comic strip one minute and then be

9
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.119
talking about MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon the next.

10
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.320
I am your host. My name is Brian Little. In

11
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:57.960
case you are new to the show, I want to

12
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.880
assure you three things will all be talked about on

13
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.840
this podcast. Number one, God is King. Number two, Peanuts

14
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.680
is the single most successful comic strip in American history.

15
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.200
And number three, mixed martial arts is the greatest sport

16
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.439
under God's hot sun. So if you are a fan

17
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.000
of Pea Nuts Part one, you're right where you need

18
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.280
to be. If you are an MMA fan, you might

19
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.120
want to stick around, or you might want to hit

20
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.040
fast forward to where you can get to Part two,

21
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.840
where I cover what's going on in the world of

22
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.879
UFC and other organizations. Also Midway we throw in a

23
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.760
scripture of the day that is on purpose, that is

24
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:39.400
a parallel based and parable based podcast. Now, I will

25
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.319
tell you we just got back from church camp and

26
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.359
there were no serious encounters. What do I mean, no

27
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.799
intercounters with encounter intercounters? Hear what I'm talking about. Like

28
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.319
I said, I'm running on fumes. There were no encounters

29
00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:00.439
with any queen snakes. Yes, I said that right, some

30
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.959
blockademon the King saying no, I mean a queen snake.

31
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.959
I have yet to see one, and I guess it's

32
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.159
a life's mission to see if I can determine if

33
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.639
there really is one out there in the woods somewhere.

34
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.879
Who would have planted this in my mind? Nobody else

35
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.520
but Linus Linus van Pelt. In the episode it was

36
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:27.360
a short summer, Charlie Brown mentioned something about queen snakes.

37
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.280
If you've never seen the episode, you should. It happens

38
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.080
to be on Apple TV. And the kids are writing

39
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.120
a theme today that'd be called an essay or a

40
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.319
paper that they would be writing for class, but used

41
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.759
to call them themes back then. And he's told to

42
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.719
write about his summer, and he writes about how we

43
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.800
rush to freedom just to find out that my sister

44
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.080
Lucy has signed us all up for camp. As soon

45
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.800
as I hear this, I start letting the guys know

46
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.439
that those camps are always out in the woods somewhere,

47
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:08.280
and these woods are always somewhere where it's heavily infested

48
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.840
with queen snakes, not king snakes. Queens. There must be

49
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:21.759
a differentiation of kingship and royalty among these snakes. But

50
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.000
I've yet to see one in my lifetime, so we

51
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.360
haven't had any counters. We didn't see any snakes of

52
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.439
any kind, much less a queen snake or certainly anything

53
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.879
that would be a danger to any of the kids

54
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.680
out of the camp. But that kind of got me

55
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:43.319
thinking about this particular episode. I love when Linus has

56
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:48.439
these weird, absurd pieces of advice for anybody that's out

57
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.520
in the woods. He's talked about something called rock snakes

58
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.759
that was in Race for Your Life Charlie Brown. Charlie

59
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.759
Brown said to him, Linus, what in the world is

60
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.360
a rock snake? Has to explain that it sneaks up

61
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.719
behind you and throws rocks at you, but they're not dangerous.

62
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.360
Why because they only hit you on the lower part

63
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.280
of your legs, and he has to actually stand his

64
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:15.080
ground on these beliefs. Okay, but nonetheless no encounters like

65
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.399
that of any kind. But while I was away within

66
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.519
one week, I have to shift away from pea nuts

67
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.160
now just to bring something to the forefront, and some

68
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.480
of you aren't ready for it. In a very short

69
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.560
period of time, at the end of July and twenty

70
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:37.800
twenty five, outside of the Peanuts realm, within the rest

71
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:44.600
of society and culture, we have lost several, to count it,

72
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:58.079
three particular legends, THEO from the Cosby Show, Ozzie, Ozzy Osbourne,

73
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:04.439
and most recently the Hulkster, the immortal hul Cogan the

74
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.720
not so immortal. And I don't say that as I

75
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.399
want to put cracks in your armor. I don't say

76
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:20.000
that to show that his moniker was impenetrable. That's not

77
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.279
what this is about. I don't bring any disrespect in

78
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:25.920
any way to the table when it comes to hull

79
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:32.519
Cogan or about Ozzie or about THEO. But a very

80
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.800
short period of time, many people just hear this and

81
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:40.399
they start to think about their own mortality. They think, well, golly,

82
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:46.920
who's next now that I can't answer for you. But

83
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.920
here's what I will throw out. I don't believe anybody

84
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.639
in the blockad nation is guilty of this. We may

85
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.879
have thought it, but that means this is an open

86
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.360
door for a lot of vitriol on social media. And

87
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.399
I'm going to say this, if you are a person

88
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:13.120
that is throwing dirt on Terry Blea that you may

89
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:17.040
know as Hulk Hogan or the infamous Ozzy Osbourne or

90
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.279
maybe theo either way of any of these men, if

91
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.279
you are figuratively throwing dirt on them in the grave,

92
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:31.319
I'm gonna remind you of something. You are not their judge,

93
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.839
You're not their jury, you are not their executioner. It

94
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:43.839
is not you that they stand before while he opens

95
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:49.360
the book of life. It's not you. And at a

96
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:54.959
time like this, most who have been in the music realm,

97
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.920
in the television realm, and in the realm of professional wrestling,

98
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:05.079
those who are closest to these men have done nothing

99
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.959
but bring respect to the forefront. And I'd like to

100
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.399
believe that this is the majority of us out there,

101
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:18.040
But you always feel the ripple effect when somebody tries

102
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.040
to say, oh, they did this back in the day,

103
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.879
Oh they did this back in the day. Is this

104
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.040
the time for it? Of course not. But sadly enough

105
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.360
and in the most shameful way I can explain, it

106
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:37.079
still happens. All of us one day will stand before

107
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:42.519
a good God. And my prayer those that are listening,

108
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.519
is that you will hear the words well done, good

109
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.519
and faithful servant. And I don't care if it is

110
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.680
last minute. I don't care if it is just like

111
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.439
the thief on the cross who figuraly threw up a

112
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:02.480
hail Mary and said, Jesus remember me. It wasn't like

113
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.839
Jesus looked at him and said, nope, too late, you

114
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.720
ran out of time. What did he say? Today? You

115
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:13.720
will be with me in paradise as I understand it,

116
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.120
and I have seen the video evidence that Hulk Hogan

117
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:24.319
was baptized, gaining the seal of the Holy Spirit. Now,

118
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.120
if he lied on national television, that is not for

119
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:32.600
us to decide. What we can't do is search his heart.

120
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.919
What we can't do is search Ozzie's heart. For Theo's

121
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.080
All three of these men I would like to believe

122
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:49.159
gained their victory, But I cannot determine that it's just

123
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.559
like you. I am a sinner in need of the

124
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.159
One True God and in need of the Prince of

125
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:02.480
Peace Christ Jesus, and everything that I've seen related to

126
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:07.120
Hulk Hogan's faith puts my mind in my heart at ease,

127
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.440
and I have to be okay with the outcome. The

128
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.799
same thing with Ozzy. I am not the one standing

129
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:17.559
there opening the book of Life. I am not the

130
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.919
one that's taking it and covering him as he covers

131
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:23.960
the multitude. That is not what we are. We are

132
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:27.919
part of what's called the Welcome Committee. When our time comes.

133
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.200
I just ask a lot of you, if you are

134
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.159
part of this, which most of you all believe or not,

135
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:40.080
if you are to search your heart and search the

136
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:44.759
word and not everything has to have a comment out

137
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.960
in social media. I don't care if it's TikTok. I

138
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.440
don't care if it's Twitter, which is X. I don't

139
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.840
care if it's Facebook. I don't care if it's Instagram.

140
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:57.399
I don't care if it's YouTube. This is not the

141
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:02.559
time for it the time to honor the life they

142
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:10.240
had and to praise the victory that they hopefully gained.

143
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.519
And we have to be okay with the ultimate outcome

144
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:18.960
because the God we serve is just, and he is good.

145
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:24.440
We are the rebellious ones. Barabbas was set free too,

146
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.399
so that the only sacrifice worthy to cover the multitude

147
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.480
could go to the cross. Stick with me as we

148
00:10:35.519 --> 00:11:05.559
get to the scripture of the day. Our scripture reading

149
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:10.120
for this podcast comes from Ephesians chapter five, verses eight

150
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:14.639
through eleven. For at one time you were darkness, but

151
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.720
now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children

152
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.080
of light, for the fruit of light is found in

153
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.480
all that is good and right and true. And try

154
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.360
to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no

155
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:34.200
part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

156
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.159
That would be the theme that our kids spent time

157
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.759
in this whole week when we were at church camp.

158
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:44.360
So it continues with what I just said. If you

159
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.759
are trying to expose a person that has passed away

160
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.799
from this lifetime, if you're trying to expose ho Colgan

161
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.080
for things that he did years ago, trying at the

162
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:58.120
last second to be the judge, jury, and executioner, there's

163
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.720
something wrong with this world when that's when we choose

164
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:06.159
to throw dirt on the grave. That's harsh to say,

165
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:10.240
but it's true. There's something wrong with this world where

166
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.879
we look at a person who's deceased and say, well,

167
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:17.960
they were a horrible person and continue to carry on

168
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.320
this type of vitriol. I'll tell you what else is

169
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.919
also really hard to watch from an MMA perspective. There's

170
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:30.559
something wrong with this world when the fans are booing

171
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:36.399
Robert Whittaker. Now, am I saying he put on the

172
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:40.759
best performance today today against rdyr De Ridteric. No, I'm

173
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:45.919
not saying that obviously this was a split decision. I'm

174
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:51.679
saying that the fans and sometimes myself included, are too

175
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:56.879
selfish and too spoiled. I'm hearing Michael Bisbin talking and

176
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:02.919
commentator when you're out thereby in the heat and they're

177
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.720
trying to work with each other and grapple and try

178
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.960
and take each other's back, working from mount taking guard,

179
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.679
and you can hear him saying, yeah, you're slippery from

180
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.639
all the sweat. It's hot out there. It's really hard

181
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.519
to perform and put on your best work. So the

182
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.440
credit goes to the man who's actually in the arena.

183
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.120
But all the fans love to boo when we're not

184
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:27.440
having a blood bath, when we're not cracking back and

185
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:32.000
forth like we saw with Dustin Porier and Max Holloway. Yeah,

186
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.039
Max Holloway is still my favorite fighter. I love the

187
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.279
way that Dustin Porrio was sent out with so much love,

188
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.840
but we're so spoiled to that. Then I'm hearing booze

189
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:47.679
towards Bobby Knuckles. Robert the Reaper Whittaker has done nothing wrong.

190
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:51.559
He's done everything right in his career. There might have

191
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.919
been a time where Israel Atosania may have brought out

192
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:59.200
the worst in him, But for Robert Whittaker to receive

193
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.360
that kind of treatment from the crowd in Abu Dhabi,

194
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.840
there's something wrong here. Is it time for him maybe

195
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.240
to consider another division or maybe have another fight and

196
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.320
hang it up. This is a guy who continuously is

197
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:18.240
a main eventor and has been for years, So Robert

198
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:23.960
Whitaker doesn't deserve that from US fans. Another thing I

199
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.320
can say about the way we're going with MMA, we

200
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.039
probably do deserve to give some grace to somebody like

201
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:38.200
Jason Herzon, who probably should have ended the fight where

202
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.080
I'm watching this fighter's eye continue to blow up like

203
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:46.399
a balloon. But there's something to the warrior mindset where

204
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.200
the corner needs to think about what they're saying too.

205
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.240
Why are our guys not throwing in the towel when

206
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.399
you know he's seriously hurt if the ref's not calling,

207
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.720
And that's the back and forth that is very difficult

208
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.120
waters to tread. I am. I try to get my

209
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.159
oars near the water when it comes to MMA on

210
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.240
this one, because I have seen fighters who know that

211
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:08.159
the guy's done and they look up at the ref

212
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:11.320
and go, are you gonna do something about this? Sometimes

213
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.279
it's hard to know in that position. You need more

214
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:17.480
experience like Irb Deane and John McCarthy, or even Mike Beltran,

215
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.480
who don't normally make those kind of mistakes. Jason Herzog

216
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.360
is not known for being a continuous problem as a referee.

217
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.120
Maybe he missed the mark tonight, I get it, but

218
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.600
I'm not stopping the fight calling over the doctor to

219
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:34.159
take a look at the eye. I know that there's

220
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:37.519
some controversy behind this, and it's not that I want

221
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.440
to give Jason Herzog a pass. It's just that nobody

222
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.159
else is in that arena except him. You got to

223
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.159
think for three different people as a referee, and it's

224
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.080
up to him at the end of the day. If

225
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.720
the fighter is still pursuing and moving forward and it's

226
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:56.759
still defending, then there's a margin of error that doesn't

227
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.480
belong to us sitting in the fence, in the stands,

228
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.639
or us that armchair experts. It's not where it doesn't

229
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.679
belong with us. So when it comes to Jason Nurzog,

230
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.039
he's gonna be working again. This fighter probably should have

231
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.360
had better protection at this point, but still it's a

232
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.159
fast moving sport, and we're gonna forget about this down

233
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.799
the line, and we will look for any way to

234
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:24.320
magnify any flaw that we can't on any referee, But

235
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.279
none of us have actually stepping in there and actually

236
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.519
officiating a UFC fight. So can we give a little

237
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.440
bit of grace to Jason Herzog. Can we admit that

238
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.000
the fighter wanted to continue to pursue and defend, that

239
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.159
his corner could have done a better job if they

240
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.279
saw he was in trouble, and we need to save

241
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:42.679
his eye to throw in the towel. This is gonna

242
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.600
be a continual discussion over the next week. Okay, this

243
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.200
is fresh off breaking news, and maybe within a week's

244
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.679
time I might be eating crowing, liking the taste of it.

245
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.960
But I want to say, with Jason Herzog, let's give

246
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:58.759
a little ounce of grace here. Either way, a pretty

247
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:02.720
good car tonight for UFC fight night. But another thing

248
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.240
I can tell you in breaking news that has my

249
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:09.720
attention is I thought to myself, who at this point

250
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:14.440
in the bantamweight division is gonna take Morob Seana Malley

251
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.599
certainly can't do it. Umar and Namaga Metof can't do it,

252
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.759
And that is very odd to say. I actually had

253
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:23.279
to go, wait a minute, those two have already fought

254
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:28.880
UFC three eleven. Umar had a couple of good rounds,

255
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:33.759
probably first and second round, better striking maybe, but Marob,

256
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.400
with his wrestling its cardio, completely just derailed him in

257
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.240
every way. But so it is very hard for me

258
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.000
to say somebody with the last name Nirmaga Metof was

259
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:50.160
defeated by Morob the Georgian has overcome on the Russian.

260
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:56.680
It's rare to say that. But who's gonna take him? Now? Well,

261
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.440
we do have a contender. We have somebody who's finally

262
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:06.119
getting a chance to step in with him. We have

263
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:11.599
breaking news of Cory Sanhagen, who many years ago I said,

264
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:17.319
if this guy can get past Pewter Yon, he will

265
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:22.079
be holding the strap. We didn't exactly have that in

266
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:27.720
the timeline that I was expecting. We certainly had Cory

267
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:33.960
go through many wars with guys like Cheeto Vera. But

268
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.880
here we are and he has his chance. Is Cory

269
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.240
Sanahagan gonna be the one that will dethron Morob de VADSVILLI?

270
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.039
I hate to say it, but with his wrestling and

271
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.680
his cardio, even as good on the ground and as

272
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:55.359
slick and malicious that Cory Sanhagen is, I don't know

273
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:59.640
how he's gonna pull that off. I'm thankful he finally

274
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.880
gets the opportunity he's deserved for too long, now that

275
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.599
Sean O'Malley is out of the picture, now that if

276
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.640
you look up and down the top five, what else

277
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:16.839
can you do. I'm thankful for that opportunity for Corey Sanhagen.

278
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:24.240
But who at this point is going to out wrestle Morob?

279
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.880
Who's going to withstand the cardio that Marab brings every

280
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:32.359
single time? I don't have an answer for you on

281
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:36.960
that one. Blockhead Nation and moving forward with a division,

282
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.400
now that we have had Dustin Poirier, who has had

283
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:43.920
his grand exit and Max is still holding the BMF title,

284
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:47.920
gave the moment, gave the spotlight to Dustin where it

285
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.839
deserved to be, where it belonged. Can we ask the question, now,

286
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:58.680
what do we do for the BMF title? Is it possible?

287
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:01.960
And I'm seeing this one our being talked about amongst

288
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.319
the dirt sheets, amongst things like bloody elbow, things like

289
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:07.839
you're welcome with chill Son. And he's putting this out

290
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:13.000
with some YouTube information about why not the guy who

291
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:18.519
took Dustin Poier to war? Why not give Dan Hooker

292
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:24.200
the chance to throw down with Max Holloway, somebody who

293
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:26.920
was not afraid to stand and crack with Dustin Poorrier.

294
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:29.519
This is a guy who shouldn't be afraid to stand

295
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.799
and crack with Max Holloway who's still holding the title.

296
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:41.319
Is that an exciting thought? Sure? So, the possibility of

297
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.440
seeing Morob versus Corey Sanhaegen block at Nation, I'm in.

298
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:47.680
As far as the chance to see the BMF strap

299
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.240
being put up between Max Holloway and Dan Hooker, I'm

300
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:58.240
in because where else are you gonna turn? Now? You

301
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:02.000
got ali Ara that's been cleaned up by Eliot Taporia

302
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:06.160
what's probably likely gonna happen is you're gonna take our

303
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:11.160
Montseruki on and Jason Justin Gaichie. Excuse me if I

304
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.039
miss misunderstand what I'm even trying to say here, But

305
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:15.759
if you take number three and number one, you take

306
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.240
Gai chie versus Armntseruki on, you have a number one

307
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.440
contendership for the title. After you figure that out, it

308
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:29.119
sure sounds like the demand is for Ela versus Patty.

309
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:31.960
That's gonna have the most viewership, the most bang for

310
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:35.200
your buck when it comes to the UFC. So I'm

311
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:37.319
assuming this is how this is going to play out.

312
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:40.960
Usually what I see on the horizon and the narrative

313
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:44.519
the Blockhead builds is usually eighty to ninety percent correct.

314
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.720
Are these worth watching? Sure? But who's gonna overtake Morob,

315
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:56.200
Who's gonna continue to stand and bang with Max Holloway?

316
00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.200
And who do we really have standing tall hole in

317
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:05.920
two titles? Elia or Patty? The discussion is getting good

318
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:08.240
Blockhead Nation. I hope I've got you as locked in

319
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:11.440
as I am as we wrap up this particular episode.

320
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:13.720
If you need to know anything else, if you want

321
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:17.160
to continue to pursue helping the Blockhead and continue to

322
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.400
move this little podcast. Don't even further. There are links
