8
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.439
Brian Little. I'm sitting here in the Blockhead Mansion after

9
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.600
doing a workout with DDP Yoga. It's definitely paying off

10
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.520
a little bit, losing a few pounds, gett a little

11
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.399
more flexibility, breaking up that scar tissue. Just want to

12
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.240
take a minute, as always every Saturday, I love to

13
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.000
talk to you blockhead Nation. I'm gonna remind you that

ways you can support. Downloads are the most helpful. That's

17
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.159
really gonna move along the algorithm. But if you want

18
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.159
to help out more, if you go to the link

19
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.319
in the description today of your favorite blockhead dot com

20
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.920
slash blog, you will see opportunities for merchandise. You'll see

21
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.719
the donation page, the koffee page. You can donate root

22
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.920
beers to the show. There's a few other things you

23
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.079
can do if you want to further along the success

24
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.920
of this journey. But I will always accept the fact

25
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.560
that you are here and you want to listen. So

26
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.239
there are three things that are always talked about. Number One,

27
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.000
God is king. That's going to be central in a

28
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.040
lot of the focus of today's message. Number Two, Pea

29
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.200
Nuts is the single most successful comic strip in American history.

30
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.200
It's got some feel good TV shows from back in

31
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.120
the day. There's some recent new ones on Apple TV.

32
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.159
If you're still into the Pea Nuts, there are some

33
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:03.840
updated APPEs. There's a twenty fifteen animated movie. There is

34
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.920
a museum out in Santa Rosa, California, called the Charles

35
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.680
Schultz Museum that was just award does the best and

36
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.080
so on on my county. So I back up when

37
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.360
I say the Peanuts are the most successful comic strip

38
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.800
of all time. If you don't know anybody else in

39
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.199
the Peanuts, you know who Snoopy is. We will get

40
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.800
to that in detail. The third part of this show

41
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.400
is Mixed Martial Arts is the greatest sport under God's

42
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.639
hot sun. That happens to be in my sport. I

43
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.560
focus a lot on the UFC. Sometimes I bring up Bellator,

44
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.199
I bring up One Championship, I bring up PFL. There

45
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.439
are other factors that are out there there. Happens to

46
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.039
even be a boxing match today, of all things. Did

47
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.719
you know that Floya Mayweather's going to box today? Just

48
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.560
found that out just by scamming through my phone a

49
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.680
little bit and just moving through a little bit and scrolling.

50
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:54.479
But great marketing and great advertising for a big event

51
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.560
either way. Let's get back to the Peanuts for a second.

52
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.240
If you don't know this, it can be confirmed in

53
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:09.360
an episode called Snoopy's Reunion. Snoopy's origins are an adopted

54
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.919
and rescued puppy. I say that as somebody who has

55
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:18.599
volunteered with local rescues, that these fur babies are not dogs,

56
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.240
they're family. We wish that we can open up a

57
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.599
blockhead mansion everybody that's listening and be able to help

58
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.680
every single dog that's out there, every single four legged

59
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.879
fur baby that needs help. We can only do so much.

60
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.759
It's like trying to take a spoon and trying to

61
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:37.840
get water off of the Titanic. It feels like a defeating,

62
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.759
overwhelming tax so often, but really, anyone's that we can

63
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.800
help out with, we're going to And when it comes

64
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.000
to Snoopy, that's identifiable because if you go back to

65
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.439
the story Snoopy's Reunion will show you that he was

66
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.560
returned to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm a broken hearted dog.

67
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.199
The story is he was originally adopted. They had a

68
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.000
little girl named Lilah, and that was also talked about

69
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.319
in Snoopy Come Home. They had to move or also

70
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.879
the building they stayed in, unfortunately, just like the beaches,

71
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.400
just like other places in town, have a sign that

72
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:20.160
says clearly no dog's allowed, which means Snoopy had to

73
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.600
be returned to the Daisy Hill Poppy Farm. As heartbreaking

74
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.879
as that is, what that allowed was the chance for

75
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:35.079
Charlie Brown and Linus to discover him hiding in a corner, terrified,

76
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.480
unsure of how to respond to human interaction, not trusting

77
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.399
who he's meeting for the first time, and this boy

78
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:49.360
in a yellow shirt with chevrons on it is smiling

79
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:55.519
and welcoming him over and picks him up, and we

80
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.759
find out that the dog's name is Snoopy. Charlie Brown

81
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:01.920
bonds to linus, that's a good name. We'll keep it,

82
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.360
and he goes through the background with Charlie Brown. He said,

83
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.240
while you were with Snoopy, I was talking to the

84
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.120
man who owns the daisy Hll Puppy Farm. This dog

85
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.439
was returned by another family. They step off the bus

86
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.560
that transport them to the daisy hl Puppy Farm and

87
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.199
brought them back to their home location. And you hear,

88
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.600
you've gotta used dog, Charlie Brown, so Las walks away,

89
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.800
and almost without a moment's hesitation, Charlie Brown looks at

90
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:39.279
Snoopy with those big, sad, soulful eyes of his, and

91
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:44.560
he smiles, Well, you're my dog now, Snoopy. Let me

92
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.959
show you to your new home. A smile crosses Snoopy's face,

93
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.120
his tail wags a little bit, and you can get

94
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.920
one of those sloppy kisses you can only get from

95
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.759
your beloved fur babies. I share that just as a

96
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.399
public service announcement that the state of Texas is becoming

97
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.120
a dumping ground for dogs. I even saw an article

98
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.000
talking about how one out of four of gen z

99
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.680
would hand over their pet because it's quote too expensive.

100
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.680
There's an extent to where I understand the circumstances that

101
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.360
we're in in twenty twenty four from a financial standpoint,

102
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:27.399
but from others I just don't. So therefore some of

103
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.800
us are out there, rolling up our sleeves and getting

104
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.920
our hands dirty trying to help these dogs find it

105
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.160
forever home. Because they are family, because Snoopy was adopted.

106
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:42.000
Snoopy is a rescue for baby. I know that's from

107
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.439
the mind of Charles Schultz, but Charles Schultz was also

108
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.199
very subtle with his comic strips. He may have been

109
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.079
portraying a lesson for all of mankind and for humanity,

110
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.279
just by showing how Charlie Brown responds to a terrified

111
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.680
Snoopy who's looking for a home, who's been separated from

112
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:03.720
all of his family that eventually come back together. Find

113
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.000
out the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm has been destroyed and

114
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.120
there's going to be a town's mall put in its

115
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.639
place in the name of industry. But what they do

116
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.600
in remembrance of it, they have one last little jam session.

117
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.399
They get their music out, they get their instruments out,

118
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.279
and they play their heart out out of respect to

119
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.720
where their origins were. And I can also tell you

120
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.439
this when it comes to origins. We just came from

121
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.000
celebrating the life of a wonderful man and I can

122
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.600
share that on this podcast because of three things. One

123
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.600
in particular, before this podcast even existed, there was a

124
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.959
man who gave the blessing for myself and the Little

125
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.879
Red Haired Girl to start our lives together. Batman was

126
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:56.199
Pastor Glenn, even when we were having our wedding. There's

127
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.560
a few things that I remember right away from Pastor Glenn,

128
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.720
and I give remembrance respect to this man, just like

129
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.439
some of you that might be listening blockad Nation that

130
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.560
have somebody that you want to think, well, I'm giving

131
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:12.560
my thanks after celebrating his life. I will always be

132
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.959
thankful to Glenn for not only helping the Little Red

133
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.680
Hair Girl and I tie the knot and be able

134
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.079
to take the oath before God himself that we will

135
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.759
honor each other for the rest of our lives, for

136
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.839
our love to be patient, kind, not boasting, not keeping

137
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.799
record of wrongs, for our love to conquer, for it

138
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.879
was created by God himself, But it wasn't just that.

139
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.360
I'll always be thankful for him to two other things.

140
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.200
This is a man who when we shared our stories,

141
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:50.080
he listened. He listened to my stories of being overseas

142
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.480
in the navy. Why because one of my grooms men

143
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:57.159
was one of my fellow sailors. He listened to Josh's

144
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:02.240
stories too. He was truly in And how my best

145
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.279
friend Jeremy also known as the Minister of Sound, how

146
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.399
we've been friends since we were five years old and

147
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.639
we are still inseparable. We can always pick up right

148
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.120
where we left off as friends after that many years,

149
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.600
thirty plus years in the can and he's there as

150
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.919
my best man once again. So thank you, Pastor Glenn,

151
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.360
for the example you were, for the character that you

152
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.639
displayed on the beautiful ceremony that we had today. Even

153
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.399
though you've already gained your glory as we your friends,

154
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:43.080
continue to move forward in this life, that you showed

155
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.480
us how it means what it means to be christ Like,

156
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.360
just as the Apostle Paul to be encountered on the

157
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.559
road to Damascus and be forever changed. I thank you

158
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:57.399
for that, Pastor Glenn. I thank you for your presenting

159
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:01.440
us with what it means to be a man of Christ.

160
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.720
For a man to take on his wife and love her.

161
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.159
As the tears ran down my cheeks as we shared

162
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.440
our vows, I thank you for taking down to listen

163
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:17.000
to my best friends and my fellowshipmate as we shared

164
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.440
our stories. I thank you for that. And I also

165
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:26.399
thank you, mister Charles Schultz for showing us that dogs

166
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.440
are family and there's something out there that need to

167
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:33.360
be rescued. If this stirs your heart, reach out to

168
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.840
your local shelters that are overflowing. What could you do

169
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.399
if you can't open your home? Can you help with transport?

170
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.679
Can you help with funding? There's something you can do.

171
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.399
You can put down that Starbucks that's five bucks already,

172
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:49.960
just so you can have a few that you can

173
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:55.000
donate to the local shelter, so that other snoopies have

174
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:58.799
a chance at life, they can have a forever home.

175
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.519
So I share that with you. Blockad Nation, not your

176
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.120
hearts stirred. My question is what are you going to

177
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:34.960
do now? Our scripture reading for this podcast comes from

178
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:40.200
Psalm chapter thirty three, verses ten through twelve. The Lord

179
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.960
brings counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the

180
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.279
plans of the peoples of no effect the counsel of

181
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:53.120
the Lord stands forever the plans of his heart to

182
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:58.879
all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,

183
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:05.759
the people he has chosen as his own inheritance. Charles

184
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.519
Spurgeon once said about this passage, their persecutions, their slanders,

185
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.039
their falsehoods, are just like puffballs being flung against a

186
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:17.960
granite wall. They produce no result. For the Lord overrules

187
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.039
the evil and brings good out of it. The cause

188
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.919
of God is never in danger. Infernal craft is outwitted

189
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:33.559
by infinite wisdom and satanic malice held in check by

190
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:38.600
boundless power. Now that's to befitting in many ways. As

191
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.559
I switch over into part two, which is about mixed

192
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.279
martial arts, when I think of power, at least in

193
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:49.879
the middleweight division, one name really stands above the rest.

194
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:52.799
And that man happens to be fighting in the Man

195
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.000
event tonight at the Apex in Las Vegas. And that

196
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.639
man happens to be Jared cannon Ere. Now I will

197
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.720
go into a little bit of depth of a few

198
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:07.440
fights back when Jared Kanneer fought against Imovov. Now that

199
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:12.360
was almost an uprise in the MMA community. You got

200
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:16.360
to understand that Jared Kannoner in many ways got cheated

201
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:21.759
by the referee out of a possible win, or he

202
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.320
could have saved him from himself just a little bit

203
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.919
too early. So basically, in that fight with Imovov, it's

204
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:34.000
the main event, it's five rounds, and Canneer does get rocked.

205
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.639
He is bicycling back towards the fence. He does turn

206
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.919
his back to Imobov, which is not a good sign

207
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.799
for any fighter. That's a big red flag for any referee.

208
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.399
Here's the problem. As soon as I'movov starts swinging on

209
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.960
Jared Kanneer once again. Jared Kanneer is getting hit several

210
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.320
times in the face and in the body, but he's

211
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:02.480
got his hands up. A free stops a fight when

212
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:09.120
a contender can no longer visibly and realistically protect themselves.

213
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.600
Jared Cannoneer had his hands up. So the truth is,

214
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:18.080
even the referee, after the after the mount had even agreed,

215
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.840
I probably stopped that too early. Dana White wasn't happy.

216
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.960
The fans were livid. I was livid. As I watched

217
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:30.679
from my home screen. Jared Canneer is saying, I'm fine,

218
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.879
I'm still able to go, but in a way. It

219
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.840
could have been a few more seconds or it could

220
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.879
have been the rest of the round. Either way, it

221
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.519
wasn't the result that we needed. So not long ago

222
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.679
it was mentioned by me that you go ahead and

223
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.720
have these guys face each other again. You run it

224
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.919
back at UFC three oh five. This was back when

225
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.320
three oh four was still coming around to Manchester three

226
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.679
oh five being in Australia. There were no bouts on

227
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:04.120
the MA card except for Izzy versus DDP, which once

228
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.480
again Drecus Duplessis is showing that he's gonna be leading

229
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.759
a new chapter in this division. He is the real deal,

230
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:15.120
which means we're gonna be eventually seeing probably either Robert

231
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.799
Whitaker or Sean Strickland be facing him and about for

232
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.720
the championship. But when it comes to Jered Cannoneer, I

233
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:27.480
was mentioning that this bout could open the card. You

234
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.279
could have three rounds. I'm a o versus Cannoneer two.

235
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.559
It's enough time to get a turned around, get a

236
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.639
camp ready, and you can get a different referee. I

237
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.159
recommended Mike Beltramp. Beltran does not play around. He's the

238
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:47.039
guy that even put Mohammed Makaiev in his place at

239
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.720
UFC three h four. It's one of the reasons why

240
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.559
soured really quickly on Makaiev going if you have no

241
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.559
respect for that referee, then imagine who else you're not

242
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.840
showing respect for. Either way, that's me kind of drifting

243
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.480
into the weeds. But Cannoneer needed to have another bout

244
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:04.480
right away, and I will suggesting the pay per view

245
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:06.960
that would get him more pay and open the car

246
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.600
and it'd be three rounds. No, not exactly what cannon

247
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.480
Heir had in mind. It's not what he wanted. He

248
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:21.080
clearly said, I want another main event, five round fight.

249
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.320
Well that's what you got tonight at the Apex. You

250
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:31.639
got Cannoneer against a very dangerous Brazilian with a sixteen

251
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:35.080
to one record. Okay, So I'm just putting out there

252
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.840
as far as if you look at each of the

253
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.399
different strengths, conditioning, cardio, if we're gonna go off straight

254
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.919
power and strength, I give it right away to Jared Cannoner.

255
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:50.440
As far as bringing being a Brazilian, his opponent is adversary.

256
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.480
If they go to the ground, it's gonna be a problem.

257
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:57.720
If we're going to BJJ Brazilian jiu jitsu. As far

258
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:02.480
as reach advantage, yeah, Canner kind of has a little

259
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.319
bit of an advantage of there in reach, but it's

260
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.599
about the same on leg reach. So when it comes

261
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.839
to Barato versus Cannon Air tonight and the main event,

262
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.759
this one really could go back as far as significant

263
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:18.319
strikes are grappling. So the odds are shifting at the

264
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:23.200
moment towards the Brazilian, but it's not in an overwhelming

265
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:27.640
favorable amount. So can Here does have a chance here.

266
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.599
He's getting what he asks for, he's getting his five

267
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.079
rounds back, he's getting his main event back, he's getting

268
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.480
at the Apex. It's only not against i'm Avov at

269
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:40.039
this point, So Canner definitely has a chance to break

270
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.839
back into the top five if he were to continue

271
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.480
his journey, which I would certainly hope. So cann Heer

272
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:49.200
is a guy that most of us should be paying

273
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.559
attention to, especially if you like the guys who know

274
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.720
how to strike and strike with power. This is your guy.

275
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:57.880
Now I'm gonna go ahead and jump into next week.

276
00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:59.920
I know that I can spend more time on this car,

277
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.000
but it's kind of one of those if you look

278
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.440
at what's cushioning between three oh five and three oh six,

279
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:08.960
which three oh six is gonna be at the Sphere,

280
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:13.400
Which main event is gonna be Sean O'Malley versus Morob Well,

281
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.799
if we take a look just for now at the

282
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:21.119
main event of next week, you're gonna have another Apex Bout,

283
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:27.559
which is gonna be September seventh, with Gilbert Burns and

284
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:31.480
Sean Brady. This one I would like to look a

285
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:36.079
little more in detail about. And ironically, Sean Brady has

286
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:40.440
the same record as the Brazilian fighting Jared cannoneer tonight

287
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:46.759
sixteen and one sixteen wins, one loss, one zero, no contest,

288
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:52.359
no contests. But as far as a wrestling machine, that's

289
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:57.200
the story of Gilbert Burns. As far as matching these

290
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.240
guys up, when it comes to each and leg reach,

291
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.519
it's almost identical. So if we were gonna go off

292
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:11.160
strength and conditioning, strength probably leans toward Gilbert Burns at least,

293
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:16.680
also in takedowns, which Sean Brady is exceptionally good at

294
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:22.079
takedown defense. If you're gonna go off grappling, I would

295
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.720
probably think while on his back, if we're going into

296
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.160
guard that Sean Brady is a lot more dangerous than

297
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.960
people think. He's not exactly a guy I'm worried about

298
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:35.960
if Burns is in mount and he's on his back.

299
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.960
Not especially as far as who can get to a

300
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:42.480
guy's back first, you would probably lean that towards the wrestler.

301
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:47.079
As far as congitioning and cardio goes, I'm probably gonna

302
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.759
have to lean towards Sean Brady on this one. So

303
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.400
when I say that you're looking for power versus grappling,

304
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.759
you're gonna get that tonight with can Air versus the Brazilian.

305
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:02.200
When it comes to a serious chess match in the

306
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:07.799
welterweight division, you're getting that next week with Gilbert Burns

307
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.160
and Sean Brady. One coming off of a loss, woman

308
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.000
coming off of a win, and pretty identical in weight

309
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:20.000
and reach advantages, And really that could go either way.

310
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:24.319
But again that's showing that the APEX is really starting

311
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:27.480
to heat up. It's what it's been invested into for

312
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:31.240
so long is post COVID people have said, why do

313
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.680
we need this about anymore? Well, what you do get

314
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:37.319
when you watch the APEX is a little bit more

315
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.559
of the old school ultimate fighter feel because you can

316
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:44.160
hear the coaches more you have a different diameter. With

317
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.519
the Apex, you have a little bit more less flexibility

318
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.640
on the canvas, so you gotta be a little more

319
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.960
tight in your stance when you change elevations. It's going

320
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.240
to be very different for each of these guys. So

321
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.759
am I excited about cannon Near versus Baratal tonight. Yes,

322
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:03.319
I especially for Jered to get back what's rightfully his

323
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.559
that he asked for as a five round bout of

324
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:09.839
five round main event. But when we look at a

325
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:14.039
chess match to be had for the welterweights next week,

326
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.640
I am super excited about Gilbert Burns throwing hands with

327
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:23.720
Sean Brady. So that's two bouts leading up to three

328
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:27.519
oh six. That is a very stacked card that still

329
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:31.200
keeps people interested. That should keep you on the MMA

330
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.839
train a little bit longer. The gravy is gonna be

331
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.079
on the three oh six train, But if we're still

332
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.240
getting there, you're getting your stake and you're getting your

333
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.839
sizzle right away with these two main events. So I

334
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.039
hope Blockhead Nation that I've talked you into the building

335
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.240
for the Apex. Since these are free fights, maybe just

336
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.759
maybe that will keep you interested until Sean O'Malley puts

337
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.680
his title up against Morob the Wades Villi, which will

338
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:57.039
be at three oh six in the sphere, and as

339
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.000
that gets closer, I will keep you updated. I'll continue

340
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.160
to give you what I have as a fan of MMA,

341
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:05.559
