Side Hustlers, We Have A Problem

1
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.079
Broadcasting the Live Good Evening Blockhead Nation. I'm sorry for the delay. Had

2
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.719
an early night at the Apex,
so I had to check out the fights.

3
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.640
But I'm here with you now for
Saturday evening, and you are listening

4
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:44.159
to your favorite blockhead, the only
podcast in the podcasting world that can somehow

5
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:49.799
incorporate the Peanuts comic strip one minute
and then be talking about MMA and warriors

6
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.399
inside the Octagon the next. I
am your host. My name is Brian

7
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.880
Little. Thank you again for tuning
into this little podcast. If you are

8
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.439
new to the show. Three things
are always talked about. Number one,

9
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:06.040
God is king. Number two,
Peanuts is the single most successful comic strip

10
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:11.040
in American history. And number three, mixed martial arts is the greatest sport

11
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.920
under God's hot sun. So since
we had an early night at the Apex,

12
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.319
the main events start at at Central
time six pm. How to make

13
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:19.879
sure I did that. So that's
kind of a good thing. On the

14
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.519
other part is when I talk mixed
martial arts, if the fight's already over,

15
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.760
I know the trajectory of what direction
we're going, or I can make

16
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:34.120
some accurate predictions. But let's start
off with Peanuts. To begin with most

17
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.159
of the comic strips that I've been
seeing that have been surfacing this whole week

18
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:48.000
have been around one particular subject,
Snoopy and his supper dish. So if

19
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:53.920
anything would be applicable, it would
be me on your favorite blockhead talking about

20
00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:00.760
Snoopy and his favorite pastime, which
is supper time, and then sleeping on

21
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.280
top of his doghouse. This is
the highlight of his day. So to

22
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.840
begin with, there's even a famous
number in the Charlie Brown musical that was

23
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.240
at one point on Broadway, later
became a nineteen eighties musical that was done

24
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.199
as an animated feature. It's been
done many times in schools, in high

25
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.879
schools, colleges. I mean,
I've seen them all. So You're a

26
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:30.039
good Man Charlie Brown does have a
particular number where it's nothing but supper time,

27
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:37.199
Snoopies supper dish, and that was
the comic strip that surfaced this week.

28
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:38.319
There was a few of them in
the Charles Schultz Museum, there was

29
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.039
a few on the Snoopy websites,
and every time it all pointed back to

30
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.479
his supper dish. And really,
if we just take that one scene from

31
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:53.319
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Snoopy goes into a depressive mode,

32
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.560
feeling sorry for himself. It's supper
time, Charlie Brown has not filled my

33
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.840
food dish. It's laying there empty. He'll eventually remember when I'm welton away

34
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.759
and I'm nothing but the skeletal remains
of a once happy little puppy. You

35
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:12.080
know, it's very much a feel
sorry for myself. It's I am the

36
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.199
only one suffering in this world.
So, you know, Snoopy goes into

37
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:20.080
that whole spill, and eventually John
Brown shows up on his door and says,

38
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.080
I've been waiting here like five minutes
with your supper dish. It's supper

39
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:31.400
time, and he goes into this
jazz ensemble. He goes into this very

40
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:37.639
I don't want to say sporadic,
but it certainly was clips of old episodes

41
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:42.759
from the TV show to moments with
the supper dish. He would say things

42
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.479
like, bring on the hamburger,
bring on the bun, there's fun for

43
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.319
everyone, or something to that degree. I think another one was bring on

44
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.159
the dog food, bring on the
bone, put me in a barrel and

45
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:58.120
roll me home because it's supper time, something to that degree. So it

46
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.240
was a few clips from old episodes. There was a few that had been

47
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.360
drawn recently at that time. It
was very jazzy feel to it. You

48
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:09.919
have the top hats and you had
the dancing, So that was a little

49
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:16.120
bit in depth in that animated series. I've seen it portrayed in other styles

50
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:21.639
and other musicals that I've watched.
But ultimately leads to Charlie Brown losing his

51
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:27.600
temper with Snoopy because he starts to
spill his food all over the place and

52
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.800
he hasked to have a come to
and then eventually at the end, he

53
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:35.720
just goes, why can't you just
enjoy your meal quietly like everybody else does?

54
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:42.240
And Snoopy says out loud, what's
so terrible? Amount making supper time

55
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:47.600
a joyous occasion? Difficult to argue
that point, isn't it? But that's

56
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.399
what I saw all week. If
I had to pick my favorite moment personally,

57
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:57.160
my favorite moment was Snoopy's supper dish. It would be where Charlie Brown

58
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.519
is on the mound and out of
nowhere comes Snoopy with a supper dish and

59
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:09.839
bumps him, which causes a conniption. Unlike any other with Charlie Brown of

60
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.480
don't tell me you're thinking about eating
at a time like this, you have

61
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.600
lost your mind. Then he starts
to really dress down Snoopy, saying,

62
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.399
get back to your position and take
that stupid dish with you. It's one

63
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:26.680
of my favorite scenes. But ultimately
Snoopy's gonna catch the ball in his supper

64
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.040
dish, walk back up to the
mound and spit back in Charlie Brown's face,

65
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.360
to which Charlie Brown will reply some
of these infielders are kind of touchy.

66
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.079
That would probably be my favorite one, but that was a common theme

67
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.439
this entire week, just from watching
social media. I have to remember,

68
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.480
even though we're talking about the comic
strip, since we don't really have a

69
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:55.600
lot of newspapers that are in circulation
anymore, you gotta depend on social media.

70
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.920
You got depend on me if you
come to listen to this podcast.

71
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.120
You gotta depend on the Charles Schultz
Museum and others out there that just happened

72
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:09.279
to be fans that will post these
old thematic comic strips throughout the week.

73
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.120
But in every direction I went,
it was something about Snoopy at supper time,

74
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:15.800
So I had to bring that back
and just say, hey, let's

75
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.000
talk about that on the show,
shall we. So now you know,

76
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:26.240
it's kind of a fitting that I
waited until dinnertime because we had early fight

77
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.319
nights to come and talk to you. Because Yfi has had his supper time,

78
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.480
Snoopy's had his supper time. Then
it's almost time to turn in for

79
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:39.399
the evening because we older blockheads in
the Blockhead Nation start to wrap things up

80
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.759
around nine PM. I don't know
if you noticed that, the older you

81
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.399
get. But now that I've kind
of brought that out and I've shared some

82
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.519
thoughts, I'm gonna go ahead and
get into serious mode here for a second.

83
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:57.800
There's something else that surfaced all week
long, and I can't ignore it.

84
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:05.759
This pott does fall into the category
of society and culture and friends.

85
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:11.240
We've got a problem. We've had
one for a long time. It's been

86
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.360
a dark, dirty secret that's swept
under the rug too long, and I'm

87
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.000
gonna address it here. Most of
you that have reached out and talked to

88
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:25.680
me about this podcast, you've appreciated
the fact that when I speak, you

89
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.720
can play this around your kids.
Your kids are safe with me. But

90
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:38.639
there's something else that's lurking under the
surface, that is showing how we are

91
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:44.120
riding as a nation from the inside
out. What do I mean. I

92
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.439
mean that anybody who goes into podcasting
or content creation, YouTube, whatever it

93
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:54.639
is, the ultimate goal is not
just to share our content. Let's face

94
00:07:54.680 --> 00:08:00.519
it, I'm hoping that some of
you will monetarily reward me from I work.

95
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.879
And I know that a lot of
you are listening while you were out

96
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.839
working in the yard, or you're
driving in your car, or you're out

97
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.560
on the job as we speak.
And I love bringing you entertainment. But

98
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.319
there's always that hope of the downloads
will start to spike, which really help

99
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.560
out this show a lot, or
you'll buy merchandise, or you will make

100
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:26.360
a donation to the koffee page.
Other shows have Patreon or sponsorships with this

101
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.480
kind. That's just true. But
here's what's disturbing. I looked through a

102
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.399
couple of articles this week, and
all of them validated what I'm about to

103
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.600
say. One of them was,
now, this didn't stop that article.

104
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.799
Found one in Business Insider, found
another one on the New York Post.

105
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.000
I live in the state of Texas. I don't read the New York Post.

106
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.879
But all three of them validate what
I'm about to tell you. The

107
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:58.759
number one way to make passive income, the number one side hustle in America

108
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:03.759
currently right now, that is the
most lucrative. Do you know what it

109
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:13.799
is? Only fans accounts. It
has been shown statistically that women who have

110
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:24.279
only fans accounts make double a year
what an Uber driver would make. I

111
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.279
hope that made some of you take
a gulp or there was a little bit

112
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.679
of a kick in the stomach when
I said that, because that bothers me

113
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:39.320
too, as a member of society, as a content creator, as a

114
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.080
person who spends time in the Bible. Because I realize I'm a sinner in

115
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.799
need of a savior. Knowing that
I am a parent myself, and I'm

116
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:52.960
talking to other parents who are on
this show, how do I know that

117
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.960
this is a real problem. I
won't go into detail or disclose anything.

118
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.720
I'm also a teacher. By day. I found one of my former students

119
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.559
not long ago, just by Facebook. They give you those you may know

120
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.320
this person. This was one of
my former students. Guess what she has

121
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.840
in the description of her Facebook page. That's right, an OnlyFans account.

122
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.600
And I had to just hang my
head. There were no answers to this.

123
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:30.720
Most of you listening to this podcast
are men. Men. It is

124
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:35.440
time for us to get back to
what it says in the Book of Proverbs.

125
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.960
I'm bringing my Scripture of the Day
early, knowing that this is a

126
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.279
problem that has been going on for
a while. I'm loving the fact that

127
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.759
even on as big of a platform
as the Super Bowl, that Jesus Christ

128
00:10:52.360 --> 00:11:00.080
is being represented, is being discussed, is being shared with the message.

129
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.759
I'm thrilled that the message is out
there. Meanwhile, you're being hit other

130
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.720
directions from commercials like alcoholic beverages.
But then you have things like only fans

131
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:18.200
accounts that is the number one side
hustle in America. And these women or

132
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:26.279
young girls, they are somebody's daughter, They were somebody's daughter. Are somebody's

133
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:33.080
daughter. These girls, I'm pretty
sure you parents have every right to look

134
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.360
at them in a loving way and
say, hand over the phone. I'm

135
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.480
gonna find what you're using this for, because I love you. And if

136
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:45.679
we get back to the corrective measures
that are in Proverbs chapter eleven, let's

137
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:50.519
start with verse four through verse six. Riches do not profit in the day

138
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:58.440
of wrath, but righteousness delivers from
death. The righteousness of the blameless keep

139
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.720
his way straight, but the wicked
falls by his own wickedness. The righteousness

140
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:11.559
of the upright delivers them, but
the treacherous are taken captive by their lust.

141
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.200
Men of the Blockhead Nation, it's
time for us to quit sitting on

142
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:24.639
the sidelines and become warriors again.
Men arise and reveal if you have to

143
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:31.279
to get help and the therapeutic measures
you need to get past things like these

144
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:37.759
kinds of addictions that are the number
one side hustle in America. That doesn't

145
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.000
mean I want you to start throwing
all your funds my way and say sing

146
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:46.639
on Blockhead Nation. Talk to your
children. If you have a teenage daughter,

147
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:52.440
you have every right to go through
their cell phone that you're probably paying

148
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.320
on anyway. And it's time for
us to no longer be passive about this.

149
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.639
Passive income is one thing. Passivity
and things like this where you are

150
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.919
taken captive by your lust, have
to be addressed. The squeaky wheel gets

151
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:13.279
the oil, and I'm putting it
out there now, Blockhead Nation. It

152
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.440
should upset you what I'm telling you. I can validate more if I need

153
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:24.399
to. But that's my call to
action tonight. May we turn our hearts

154
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:30.320
away and our eyes away, and
may we start protecting our young ladies of

155
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:41.559
our society and culture. May we
get past this because these statistics and this

156
00:13:41.879 --> 00:14:16.679
dirty little secret is disturbing enough.
Well, I'm glad you didn't leave.

157
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:22.240
Looks like you came back for part
two. I appreciate that. It looks

158
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.039
like if you're listening to this part, you are a mixed martial arts fan,

159
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.399
or certainly you are interested in what
I have to say about the wild

160
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.039
world of mixed martial arts, and
I will certainly do that. I'm gonna

161
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.919
start with a few thoughts that I
gathered from last week. So last week

162
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:46.000
we had the UFC in Mexico and
quite a crowd reaction to pretty much everything

163
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.080
that went on, including a melee
that continued until the guys were done.

164
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:58.159
Because I guess, as a person
who is security for Mexico, you wait

165
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.919
until it dies down before you to
break up anybody. So that was an

166
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:07.840
issue, and Dana White even suggested
that's something he's never noticed before. Quite

167
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.759
a wild crowd there in Mexico.
But I want to start with one particular

168
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:20.879
instance, Raoul Rosaston Junior was supposed
to be returning and he pulls out at

169
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:26.279
the last minute or is told that
he is pulling out because of issues with

170
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.639
his weightcut. And this is where
I get irritated with anybody who is a

171
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:39.600
fan of MMA that tries to be
so quick to rush to judgment against somebody

172
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:45.480
who is being pulled for weightcut issues. Okay, first of all, we

173
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:52.600
haven't had a death in the octagon
since the UFC started in nineteen ninety three.

174
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.840
I believe we had one unfortunate incident
where it was more of a sparring

175
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:02.200
issue where a head kick led to
blood on the brain that resulted in a

176
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.759
death. I think that was one
of the ones that did happen. But

177
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:10.440
most of the time, the most
dangerous thing that a fighter can go through

178
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:18.080
is cutting weight to get on the
scale at the proper way he's supposed to

179
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.759
be at that's been agreed upon,
especially if it's not a catchweight. So

180
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.879
I'm not gonna sit here and tell
you some type of medical diagnosis from wyfe

181
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:33.480
B that justifies, oh that role
Rosas Junior isn't a true fighter. Okay.

182
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.000
I wish for a speedy recovery that
he'll be back eventually and we will

183
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.519
see what this young man is all
about. And it's just unfortunate he couldn't

184
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:48.080
perform in front of the crowd in
Mexico City. I'm sure it would have

185
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.679
been epic for him in that night. But all we can do until he

186
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:57.120
returns is speculate. But I will
say we had two very well deserved rematches

187
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.839
and two very well deserved wins for
both the co main event and the main

188
00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:11.200
event. You have te City Brian
Ortega who is facing yay R Rodriguez,

189
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:18.000
who in many ways, there were
a few that came out and said that

190
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.519
he had held the hold too long. So, in other words, there

191
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:26.680
is a code in the society of
MMA when a guy taps, you let

192
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.680
him go. That is easy to
say when it's a sparring session or if

193
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.799
it's somewhere quiet like the Apex,
But when you have a crowd that is

194
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:41.559
as loud as the Mexican UFC fight
fans, and when you have somebody that

195
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:48.160
is as clever as yay R Rodriguez
is Brian Ortega, as even a guy

196
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:55.000
who's close with his family, Brian
Ortega can't leave any room for error whatsoever

197
00:17:55.279 --> 00:18:03.720
at all against El Pantera. Rodriguez
is nobody to mess around with, especially

198
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:08.880
when it comes to submission attempts.
So he's told by the referee to let

199
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:15.200
go. He is slightly screamed at
as he backs off and makes a gesture

200
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.599
I didn't see it. I didn't
see the tap, so to be fair,

201
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.200
in the midst of the fight,
in the midst of the crowd that

202
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:30.799
was overwhelmingly loud, you can't really
get mad at Ortega for doing that.

203
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:36.559
He just had to make sure he
put the period and the exclamation point that

204
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.680
I have my win against Yaya Rodriguez. You cannot leave any room for error

205
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:47.160
with Yair, so we have a
well deserved win for Tea City. You

206
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:53.480
have a back and forth battle between
Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval who were both

207
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:59.640
fighting for the number one position to
eventually face the champion, which is Alexander

208
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:04.640
Pint and both of them have fallen
to Pantoja at one time or maybe more

209
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:08.960
than one time in the past.
So I'm not going into the history of

210
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:14.160
these guys. I'm just saying that
when it comes to Reyval winning, I

211
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:18.519
didn't really have a problem with it. I didn't really see it clear cut

212
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.799
either way, which when you look
at it that way, you had just

213
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:30.960
judges that's been a problem in the
past. Brandon Moreno was so beloved by

214
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:37.559
Mexico's fans that you could question the
same way you did with Patty Pimble versus

215
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.160
Jared Gordon, where they didn't go
against the crowd. It looks to me

216
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:48.720
like these judges were more than willing
to go against the grain and go against

217
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:55.559
the crowd and say this is our
winner. Brandon royval So TC is just

218
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:59.000
gonna hold the choke until he's instructed
no longer to hold the choke. Our

219
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:04.680
judges did their due diligence this night
in Mexico City. So nothing but praise

220
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:08.799
coming from Blockhead on this one.
And I can say the same thing for

221
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:17.960
tonight's bouts. So to begin with, you have an early knockout that happens,

222
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.359
and then you realize, Okay,
Mohammed makaiav is coming up. And

223
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.000
even though I really want to talk
about Makaiyah versus Perez, what was really

224
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:33.440
on the line tonight in the Apex
three fighters who had an undefeated streak,

225
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:40.559
and all of them from Dagistan.
You had gazea versus Rosen strike. Gazeev

226
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:45.000
was undefeated until tonight. You know, the fourth round, it's a TKO

227
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.559
because Gazev cannot see out of one
eye, so the doctor calls it off,

228
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.960
the ref calls it off. It's
the right thing to do. If

229
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.440
you can't see out of one eye, you're fifty percent mentally, hand physically

230
00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:00.599
handicapped. You cannot continue. So
we have one. It's come to an

231
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:07.759
end. Umar Namanga Medov actually gets
caught on the chin in the first round,

232
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:14.920
got absolutely rocked in the midst of
that, shoots for a single,

233
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:22.480
really works to get his back and
just again puts on a wrestling clinic for

234
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.319
three rounds. So you do have
a lot more ground and pound, you

235
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:33.119
have a lot more grappling. There
was plenty of takedown defense that was I

236
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:40.279
wouldn't say crisp, but was there. But Umar continues with his undefeated streak.

237
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:45.440
So Kabeb Nermanga Medov may be distant
from the cage, but his bloodline

238
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.440
certainly isn't as new. Maarn Omegaf, the cousin of Kabeb is still growing

239
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.960
strong. We're gonna be watching with
this acquisition of Belator Mma by the PFL.

240
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:57.920
How Uzman nor Manga Metov is gonna
keep doing so the name of Nirmaga

241
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:04.279
Medov continues. Dagistan's influence continues in
the UFC with people like Islam Makachev holding

242
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:10.359
the title. But really, when
it comes to Mohammed Makaiev versus Alex Perez,

243
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.799
these are the lightweights, sorry,
the flywights, and the flyweights are

244
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:23.079
really starting to have some momentum because
of the unorthodox style of the Manchester native,

245
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:27.759
which is Mohammed Makaiev. Now,
first round, I believe it was

246
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:33.160
a ten to nine for Makaiev.
Alex Perez showed in the second round his

247
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:40.160
veteran status, great takedown defense,
and by the third round it comes down

248
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:45.720
to I think it comes more to
Mohammed Makaiyev's explosiveness that probably won him over

249
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.960
in the third round because at one
point he takes his back and throws him

250
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.279
for three as they say in wrestling, So I know they watched professional resling,

251
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.640
professional wrestling, think of German suplex. But for those that are amateur

252
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.039
collegiate style wrestling vans, throw zero
for five. You've taken the guy and

253
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:06.279
done a takedown over your head,
arched your back. It's really hard to

254
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:11.400
pull that off on any level of
wrestling, but Mohammed Makayev certainly did it

255
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:18.119
tonight inside of the Apex. So
I just believe that we had an impressive

256
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:25.480
Apex night with all three of these
showing up, and now it's a matter

257
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:32.920
of Mohammed Makayev moves up the rankings. Umar has called out Corey Sandhagen,

258
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:38.720
which if Umar can get past him, I don't know anybody else who could

259
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:45.400
really push back on this guy except
maybe marop So I'm getting I'm talking as

260
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:51.319
the bantamweights. I'm hoping those that
are MMA fans kind of know what trajectory

261
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:56.839
i'm talking about here, what the
future probably holds in that context. So

262
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:03.119
Umara Magamanov is the bantamweight definitely showed
up tonight. Mohammed Makaiyev had his hardest

263
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.200
night out i'd say so far against
Alex Perez. Since he had to last

264
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.720
the full three rounds. It makes
you wonder about his tank going into a

265
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:17.440
five round fight, certainly in somebody
like Brandon Morano or Pantosia, but it

266
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:21.519
just looks like we're gonna have to
see where he stands in the next bout

267
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:26.680
with the same guy who got the
win to open the cards, so it's

268
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.400
all kind of falling into place.
We're shuffling the cards a little bit.

269
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.920
But as we get prepared for this, I want to go ahead and announce

270
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:38.079
now there's way too much for wif
be to talk about coming up next week,

271
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:45.000
So what I plan on doing is
doing another wyf be MMA takedown,

272
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:52.200
more than likely from the mansion known
as Loud and Opinionated from the Empty Slate

273
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:56.400
mansion. I will probably do my
episode there. That's gonna be a long

274
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.480
day, but there's gonna be plenty
to discuss all the way from the prelims

275
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.400
into the debut of Michael Venom Page
against Kevin Holland to the main event,

276
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:10.279
which is a rematch between Sean O'Malley
and Cheeto Vera. So I have so

277
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:15.319
much to discuss that I will have
to tell Charlie brown Snoopy in the Gang

278
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.599
to take the week off as I
work my way into another wife Beat MMA

279
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.680
takedown coming next week. So I
hope you'll tune in for that. I

280
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.519
hope you've enjoyed sticking around so long
this long so far. Be sure and
