Sink Your Teeth Into This YFB Rant

1
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.600
Broadcasting Live, Good afternoon, Good
evening, Blockhead Nation. Whatever time you're

2
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:34.960
tuning in, I appreciate that you're
here. You are listening to your favorite

3
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:40.920
blockhead the only podcast in the podcasting
world that can somehow incorporate the Peanuts comic

4
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:46.039
strip one minute and then be talking
about MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon the

5
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.000
next. I am your host.
My name is Brian Little. And to

6
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:54.560
change things up a little bit,
I can confess I stand before this microphone

7
00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:00.320
and recording this podcast. I have
no notes in front of me. I

8
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.640
usually have a few bullet points of
what I'm going to cover, and I'm

9
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.319
for a change of pace. I'm
not doing that. There's nothing that I

10
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.799
bring to you except whatever comes to
my head. And part of that's because,

11
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:21.319
in observance of what these three days
are, have been and will continue

12
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:27.599
to be, it's befitting. If
I can walk you through briefly, You've

13
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:32.959
had good Friday to help you enjoyed
your day off. The reason you had

14
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:38.560
that is by the time dawn comes
through, your Savior has already been betrayed.

15
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.359
He's been denied three times, He's
been mocked, ridiculed, been through

16
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:53.200
a insane trial by a Roman official
who could not care less about him,

17
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.719
wants to hand him off to somebody
else. Is going to have a crown

18
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:06.079
of thorns placed upon his head and
will walk the long path to Calvary.

19
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.879
He will have two thieves on both
sides, one who will mock him just

20
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.400
like the crowd does, and you
will have one on the other side.

21
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.080
I guess you can say it through
a hail Mary, and said, remember

22
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.479
me, this man did nothing wrong. When you come into your kingdom,

23
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:30.680
remember me. And he says,
today you will be with me in Paradise.

24
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:39.080
The long agonizing hours on the cross. When he finally says it's finished,

25
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:46.400
he's placed in a bear in a
borrowed tomb. Joseph of Arimathea,

26
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.080
a very wealthy man, says he
can have mine. And the disciples are

27
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:58.360
just in despair. They've lost their
teacher, they've lost their leader, they've

28
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:04.840
lost all guidance. What do they
do, well, we can tell you

29
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.680
what a few of them did.
Peter along with other disciples, do what

30
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.199
men do. There's nothing else we
can figure out. Let's go fishing,

31
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.599
so we'll get to that. We're
in a in a lull. During this

32
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:30.000
time, resurrection will be tomorrow morning
something I might hear this the next day.

33
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:38.000
Get to church. Let's celebrate our
resurrected savior. So I bring on

34
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.840
that, just because there's another thing
you can count on as a Peanuts fan

35
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.840
block at Nation. You can count
on the Easter Beagle to deliver their eggs.

36
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.400
In kind of a backhanded way.
I go back and watch It's Easter

37
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.520
Beagle Charlie Brown every year. I
think I might even put a video of

38
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.599
that up of my TikTok, just
to show that when this comes full circle,

39
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:09.360
he doesn't let you down. But
it's a fascinating sequence of events from

40
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.520
a girl who can't make Easter eggs, she knows how to fry them.

41
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.399
She apparently tries to put them on
a waffle iron and waffle them. This

42
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:24.000
is Marcia, I'm talking about Peppermint
Patty doesn't give thorough instructions on what to

43
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.439
do. She just says, make
them, then we'll color them. And

44
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.959
when they go through, several eggs
that are destroyed. One she tried putting

45
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.399
a toaster. Another she tried to
put in the o'n to bake them,

46
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:41.519
and she tells her that these have
to be boiled. That's where it stops.

47
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.920
She doesn't tell her, don't crack
the eggs. She ends up making

48
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.439
egg drop soup. So a lot
of waisted eggs. But the easter beagle

49
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.720
comes through for them. You can
count on him. Now, those of

50
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.560
you that are listening that might be
young and might have gone on to an

51
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.519
Easter egg hunt, you might have
noticed something. The older you get,

52
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:14.839
the less it's about you have.
You notice that it's almost like you're gonna

53
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:16.519
walk into If you go to an
Easter egg hunt, the older you are

54
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:24.759
ten, twelve, fifteen, eighteen, you usually end up in some form

55
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:31.600
of voluntary or forced servitude. You
help set out the eggs instead of go

56
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.680
hunting for them. If you noticed
that, you help set up tables,

57
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.439
you set up chairs, you help
with the PA systems, with the music,

58
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:47.240
with the food, or something of
that degree. There's some type of

59
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.079
serving that you do, and you're
asked to have a heart of a servant.

60
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.160
The older that you get, I'll
say this blockhead nation. If you

61
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.279
are young and that's happening to you, get used to it. It's called

62
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.360
to have hearts of servants. Even
if you can't serve in that capacity,

63
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:09.959
you find in some way greeting people, guiding people. There may be something

64
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.040
that might have happened to you this
year, and you went, I don't

65
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.240
get to participate. The order you
get, the less it's about you.

66
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:25.800
So servitude starts happening with these and
I learned that a few times the hard

67
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.959
way as well. Give you one
from my own life. This is me

68
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.600
personalizing just for a second. I
want to say I was in about eighth

69
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:40.040
grade and I was still involved in
scouting. I'm actually an eagle scout,

70
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.920
by the way, was very helpful
when I went into the military. But

71
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.920
when I started doing scouting, we
started in a lot more camping trips.

72
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:56.560
One in particular, we ended up
in a camping area that was way above

73
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.639
the tree line, so when the
wind comes through there's no blockage of any

74
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.480
kind. It's raining. Not only
did it rain that evening, it didn't

75
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:12.959
stop raining until the Sunday that we
returned, and then some one of the

76
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.800
most miserable experiences of camping that I
ever had. And the same can be

77
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:23.120
said for my father, because what
the original plan was. I set my

78
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:28.519
tent up, I'm done, my
other buddy is done. Hey, let's

79
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.199
go around to these other camp sites. And see if we know anybody.

80
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.680
Now, this was his idea,
just to fall into peer pressure, because

81
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:40.879
you know how peer pressure is.
Sure, let's go do it. No

82
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:46.279
sooner had I gone through the camp
and found my father struggling to put his

83
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:51.240
tent up. What happens, Brian, come over here and help me with

84
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:57.360
this next thing? You know,
my friends nowhere to be seen. Ain't

85
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:05.279
my problem. He's gone. I'm
stuck helping rope down these tents that my

86
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.480
dad has set up and work with
his equipment, because by that point the

87
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:15.920
weather was beating down on his tent
and everybody else's for that matter. It

88
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.560
just went from bad to worse.
Forced servitude. I've been through it.

89
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.000
You give me another one. Even
it happens to follow something in history,

90
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.440
Gettysburg. It's so weird. How
before there's all this entertainment, like you

91
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.080
know, the internet streaming service as
TV radio, Before all that ever comes

92
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:45.759
in, people would go and see
the after effects of battles. This happened

93
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.120
a lot. They'd get a picnic
lunch, they'd sit on a hillside,

94
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:54.240
they'd watch a battle. But after
this horrible battle, the Blayist battle in

95
00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:03.440
American history happens, you have sightseers
rubber necking where people from Pennsylvania want to

96
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.120
come see what has happened. Did
you hear about Gettysburg? You gotta go

97
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:13.720
see this. It's a blood bath
when they show up. What happens?

98
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:20.879
Is it an exciting event? No? They are forced into helping rip up

99
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:26.879
bandages and carry bodies and help with
amputations because all of these houses that were

100
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:33.879
just cottages a day before are now
makeshift hospitals. They're forced into serving and

101
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.759
helping their fellow man. It's happened
to me, happened to a lot of

102
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:45.480
sightseers, and it's happening to a
lot of you. The older you get

103
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.440
when you get involved in Easter egg
hunts, it's not about you anymore.

104
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.799
Yes, it's a time of renewal. Yes, there's some fun. It's

105
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.360
about the kids. You had the
experience. Now it's time to hand it

106
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.559
off to somebody else. That's truth
in what I'm telling you, Block in

107
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.879
Nation and you adults that are listening, mostly you men. I know you're

108
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:13.039
nodding right now, you're concurring with
this. So I share all that just

109
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.480
because it might have happened to you
during this time. Peer. But trust

110
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:22.360
me, when I say the risen
Savior will fulfill every prophecy, the Easter

111
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.879
Beagle will not let you down.
All you gotta do is trust that he

112
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.559
will be there. Trust that the
Lord your God has a better plan than

113
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.919
you do. That all you have
to do is love him, love others.

114
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.679
And when you do disciple, there's
a cost that comes with it,

115
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.679
some of its rejection, some's I
gotta go back and brush up my knowledge

116
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.000
of what happened in the Bible.
It could simply be sharing your testimony with

117
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.480
somebody to where they understand how important
their salvation is. It's nothing that you've

118
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.080
done by works. You can't boast
about it. It's already been done when

119
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:09.039
Jesus looked up to the heavens and
said it is finished. That's taken care

120
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:16.759
of all those different top ten that
you weren't supposed to do. That no

121
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.440
man can attain. It doesn't matter
anymore. Mosaic law. The ten commandments

122
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.000
now they matter. Should you strive
for it? Yes? Should you thrive

123
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.000
for what blesses your Savior's heart,
Certainly you should. Now I'm telling you

124
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.000
there's one that you should know as
well. I don't know if this commandment

125
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.679
broke off of the original one.
I don't know if it just didn't make

126
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:45.519
its way through all of the Romanian
culture, through Ephesus, all the way

127
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:50.000
to America. But there's a few
of us that still abide by this law,

128
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.360
by this absolute truth. What is
it while you're following your ten amendments

129
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:01.799
Number one, number eleven commandment,
let's put it out there. You should

130
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.919
know it if you listen to this
podcast. It's time to end the anarchy.

131
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.879
It's time to stop the madness.
Command at number eleven. You never

132
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:48.000
never sniffed someone's grout beer. Our
scripture read for this podcast comes from John

133
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:54.480
chapter twenty one, verses four through
six. But when the morning had now

134
00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:01.000
come, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not know that

135
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:07.240
it was Jesus. When Jesus said
to them, children, have you any

136
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.600
food? They answered him no.
And he said to them, cast the

137
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.519
net on the right side of the
boat, and you will find some.

138
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.840
So they cast, and now they
were not able to draw it in because

139
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:31.360
of the multitude of fish. Now, this has a lot that's embedded in

140
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.639
the scripture. Some of these are
coming from Blue Letter Bible. Some of

141
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.639
that's coming from a commentary named David
Gusick. But I want you to hear

142
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:46.159
this how Jesus returns to his disciples
that are out fishing all night long the

143
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.279
sun is up. Any of you
that know about fishing, you don't go

144
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.879
out and fish where the sun is
beating down on the water. You're just

145
00:13:54.960 --> 00:14:03.279
not gonna catch anything that way.
They'd fish it and got nothing. And

146
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.240
do you see how Jesus comes to
this and he says, children, have

147
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.960
you any food? In many ways
this is like him saying, hey,

148
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:18.799
lads, did you catch anything?
It's more like a tourist. They don't

149
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.279
know it's him yet, sitting on
standing on the shoreline. And you can

150
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.279
imagine these fishermen looking out and going, no, idiot, we haven't got

151
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:33.399
anything. And then out of nowhere
he throws this illogical idea of casting the

152
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.200
net on the right side. This
is such a strange suggestion to these disciples

153
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.639
who are experienced fishermen. As it
says here about David Usick, there was

154
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:48.279
no logical reason why fishing in the
morning light would be better on either side

155
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.399
of the boat, and at night
time you would have a better chance to

156
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:58.519
catch it, not in the daylight
like this. There's no reason except that

157
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.720
this is Jesus putting them to a
test, the same way that he said

158
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.080
take it out to the deep water. And Peter says, we've been doing

159
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.120
this all night long, Master,
but if you insist, we'll do it.

160
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.600
And they get a multitude of fish. It's almost like this is the

161
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:20.320
same location. In a way.
It shows a personality as John Eldridge,

162
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:26.200
who wrote Wild at Heart a playfulness. And I love to think about this

163
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.919
moment and how when they figure out
when they find all these fish, because

164
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:33.759
it doesn't matter what side of the
boat you throw it. That makes no

165
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.799
sense. But all of a sudden
they can't hold the net anymore. It's

166
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:45.960
busting at the seams and they realize
it's him. My vision of Peter jumping

167
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.799
out of that boat and swimming to
shore is almost like the scene from Forrest

168
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.559
Gump. You remember that where Forrest
Gump jumps out of his own boat,

169
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:02.759
the Jennay and goes to Lieutenant in
it's on the shore, and you know,

170
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.320
as foolish as that is, I
almost see Peter doing that. And

171
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.600
by the time he gets to shore, he didn't need anything. You're gonna

172
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.039
read the story further, and you're
gonna realize that Jesus is already making the

173
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.120
breakfast. He's already got fish ready, He's probably got all kinds of other

174
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:25.159
items. Come have some food.
It's like a hilarious setup for them to

175
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:29.600
come in. But it's done with
such love and joy and compassion that Yeah,

176
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.360
I'm back, and let's break bread
together. Last time we spoke it

177
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:38.120
was at supper. It's time to
have some breakfast. Not long after that,

178
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.679
you're gonna have Peter where Jesus looks
a him and says, do you

179
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:48.399
love me? Three times? Three
times? Do you love me? Then

180
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:56.440
feed my sheep, Then disciple to
my people, share the gospel. That's

181
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.600
what I have to do, blockhand
Nation. I love this time of year.

182
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.079
If you're not getting fulfillment from this
podcast, go find it tomorrow morning.

183
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:11.200
Please go to church. Our resume
tock Savior deserves it. Come tomorrow.

184
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.319
So as I get into the world
of mixed martial arts. If you've

185
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.440
been waiting this whole time, man, are you gonna talk about MMA?

186
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.759
I am. Now. Let me
ask you those of you that are die

187
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.880
hard fans or even if you're casual, do you know who won the main

188
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:32.319
event last week. Of course you
don't. If you do, you're a

189
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:37.920
bigger fan than I am. What
I know about it is that Amanda Heboss

190
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:45.920
and Rose Thug Rose go to a
decision in a lackluster fight. But did

191
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.799
you even remember that? I didn't
remember it and I had to go back

192
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:56.000
and figure it out. Of all
these fights from last week, what could

193
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.799
possibly be the one thing that would
make us forget about the main event?

194
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.359
Oh? I know something that's never
happened in our sport before, or at

195
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:11.079
least it's not been in the UFC. We now officially have a bite if

196
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.440
I'm a referee, and I'm not. But if I was to be asked

197
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.359
to be a referee inside of a
cage, I'm pretty sure there are four

198
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:25.440
things that I would not allow.
One. No grabbing of the hair.

199
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.799
That's something even we'd go to war
tactics. Why would you have a haircut

200
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.519
if you're going through boot camp or
if you're going to D Day? Why

201
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:38.759
would your hair be cut so close
to your scalp. It's so your opponent

202
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:45.000
doesn't have an advantage that they can't
grab your hair. No grabbing of the

203
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.680
hair, No eye gouging. We've
had a problem with that for a while,

204
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.200
intentional or unintentional. We had one
Latin the week before this of a

205
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:59.839
grazing of the eyes with Brian Battle's
fight. But a lot of times it's

206
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.039
how the gloves allow them to extend
their fingers and don't bend them down,

207
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.880
or in some cases you have guys
who take advantage of that, like John

208
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:14.839
Jones who's notorious for eye gouges because
of how long his arm range is.

209
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:21.480
But no eye gouging, no crotch
shots. That's happened before too. Some

210
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.880
of them were intentional or some got
away with it. Matt Hughes versus Frank

211
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.200
Trigg two, when he got the
knee to the groin and Matt's trying to

212
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.200
let the referee no crotch shot,
crotch shot, and Frank Trigg is still

213
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:38.279
going after him. He's continuing to
attack him, and somehow Matt Hughes pulls

214
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:42.480
out a victory out of the jaws
of defeat with the greatest takedown that you'll

215
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:45.279
ever see in a fight. So
if you want to watch Matt Hughes versus

216
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:49.279
Frank Trigg two, look for the
crott shot and see how intentional Frank Trigg

217
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.680
is for going after him after that
the ref doesn't see it. So no

218
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:59.880
hair pulling, no eye gouging,
no crowt shots. G what's another one

219
00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:07.279
that I could use? Oh?
I know, no biting. We have

220
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:15.039
our official first bite in the UFC
at the Apex last week. Igor Severnino

221
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:19.279
versus and the Red Lima. You
may not even know who these guys are,

222
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:25.759
but they were two very promising prospects
from Brazil. One had an eight

223
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:29.920
and oh record, one had an
eight and one record. This is such

224
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:36.200
a promising fight and out of nowhere
in the second round, after the striking

225
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:41.480
seem to favor Igor, they're up
against the cage and he gets a bite.

226
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.119
No he doesn't. Can I go
back a few years? Some of

227
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:51.000
all that are old enough to know
this should know we did have a bite

228
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:57.119
in boxing, but what we had
were the bad intentions after the fact.

229
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:02.039
Don't think I'm defending Mike Tyson for
a second here, Let's go back to

230
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:06.960
it. You had Mike Tyson versus
Evander Holyfield, the infamous biting of the

231
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.559
ear. But there was frustration.
At least there was something I can point

232
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:18.200
to and go why would he do
that? Well? According to Mike Tyson's

233
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:26.599
own remarks after the fight is he's
frustrated that continuously, whether it's intentional or

234
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:33.119
not. If Andaner Holyfield continued to
butt heads with Mike Tyson, the closer

235
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:37.240
that they got as they're throwing punches, his head movement is sloppy, and

236
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:42.119
as they're both bobbing and moving back
and forth, you have a head clash

237
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:47.359
after head clash, head butt after
head butt after head putt, and some

238
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:55.200
point Tyson's so ticked off that he
lurches out and bites Evander Holyfield's ear off.

239
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.880
It's the infamous bite herd around the
world. Mills laying as the referee

240
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:06.039
has to deal with all of this. This was on so many Sports Center

241
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:10.960
cover stories all across the news for
so long as I can remember, when

242
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:15.519
I was in middle school when it
happened. But you could give me a

243
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:21.160
reason why I don't like the reason
I don't condone the reason it doesn't help

244
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.720
move the sport forward and makes it
more of a three ring circus. But

245
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:30.880
there was a why he bit Evander
Holyfield's ear after so many headbuts that he's

246
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:37.400
frustrated. Let's go to something else
that happened in professional wrestling. This is

247
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:38.599
something I found out a few years
down the groad. This is back in

248
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:44.680
history, during the Depression. It's
called the Battle of the Bite. Basically

249
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:51.000
a guy named Strangler Lewis and a
contender name Henry Degline or Onredy Deglonne,

250
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.480
however you want to pronounce his name. Strangler Lewis had been holding this title

251
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:59.400
for a long time. We're concocting
a way to get the title off of

252
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:03.880
him a qualification. This is back
when people still thought wrestling was real.

253
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.839
It thrived during the Depression. So
what they do is they plan on this

254
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:15.680
coup of toag as you can say, where Strangler Lewis does his infamous headlock.

255
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.119
But as he does it, you
start hearing them scream bloody murder,

256
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:27.039
Enri Deglonne. And as they pull
away, there's a huge bite mark on

257
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:33.480
Henry's peck, and obviously Strangler Lewis
must have bit him in the process.

258
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:40.000
No, here's the thing. It
happened backstage. It happened in the dressing

259
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:45.720
room. It was the manager of
Henry Deglan that bit his peck and kept

260
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.160
biting it and buying it and biting
it to where it would show a bite

261
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:53.200
mark, so when he walked out
to the ring, he's got his bicep

262
00:23:53.440 --> 00:24:00.319
covering the bite. So it's a
set up strangler. Lewis loses the title

263
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:06.920
via DQ and they give the title
to Henry Degline. In many ways,

264
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.799
is what you call a double cross. You set him up and the referee

265
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.559
doesn't know anything about it. So
why did he do it to win the

266
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.920
title, to get the money,
to get it off of the guy that's

267
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.319
held it for too long. It's
in the midst of a depression. There

268
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.640
were a lot of people that were
expecting him to win that night. I'm

269
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:27.880
sure there was a lot of money
on the line. Even during the depression,

270
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:33.200
people would bet on horse races,
baseball games, boxing matches. Wrestling

271
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:37.480
thrived during that time, so the
Battle of the Bike we had a reason

272
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.880
why it happened. I don't understand
when it comes back to twenty twenty four,

273
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:51.000
Igor Severino versus Andre Lima, I
don't know why he did this when

274
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:55.880
he was probably ahead in the points. When you're back into the cage and

275
00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:00.480
your only way to get even with
your opponent is, oh, I can

276
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:07.160
bite his arm, the lower part
of his bicep. This should be acceptable.

277
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.880
So of all the few rules that
are in mixed martial arts since nineteen

278
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:18.200
ninety three, no eye gouging,
no hair pulling, no cross shots,

279
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.680
no biting, no twelve to six
elbow. John Jones is known for that

280
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:27.880
one grounded opponents shouldn't be kicked,
no soccer kicks. If a guy submits,

281
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:32.240
you let him go, or the
referee has every right to scream at

282
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:36.759
you until you do or even disqualify. This is not a whole lot of

283
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.400
rules. A lot were made up
as the years went by, especially by

284
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.440
a referee named John McCarthy. We
make them up as we go along.

285
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.960
But isn't that kind of an obvious
one. Why would Igor in his debut

286
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:57.519
in the UFC, why would he
bite his opponent? And this transpired very

287
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:03.960
quickly. You have Dana who comes
forward and addresses this and says he's cut

288
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:11.279
sometime that evening, and there a
Lima becomes an overnight success on social media

289
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.519
because he gets a tattoo of the
bite and he has riding around. He

290
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:21.519
says, I just effing got bit, which he'll probably regret that later on

291
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:25.200
in life when you have to explain
that to your grandkids. I mean,

292
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:29.039
if it seems great in the moment
for a young guy like him. I

293
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.039
mean, you're not thinking thirty years
down the road. You don't have a

294
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:38.359
long trajectory here. But the sequence
of events happened very fast, and it

295
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:47.279
makes me question things too. Are
we so worried about the lull between two

296
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:52.359
ninety nine and three hundred that nobody's
watching these fights? We know in boxing

297
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:59.400
and in things like professional wrestling that
there's somebody behind the curtain. Pay no

298
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:03.559
attention to the man behind the curtain. We know that somebody is telling in

299
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.920
boxing, hey, you take a
dive. That's another reason you don't know

300
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:12.960
what happened with Lim of Amanda,
Heboss and Rose is because this breaking news

301
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:18.240
with Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.
The whole world's focused on that content.

302
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.400
Careers like me can run them up
with it, and I'm just embarrassed by

303
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.720
it. But what makes the most
money is for Jake Paul to win,

304
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:33.599
either by Tyson taking a dive or
it goes the whole however many rounds in

305
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.759
some type of controversial decision which sets
up the rematch. There's a river of

306
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.119
dirty money running through boxing, and
there have been many times or they've been

307
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:45.359
told, hey, take a dive
so we can build up to the rematch.

308
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.480
We can build up to the best
two out of three. That's the

309
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:52.799
big money maker for any boxing industry
out there. So my question is,

310
00:27:52.480 --> 00:28:00.079
why would this guy on his debut
in the UFC bye the guy? Why

311
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:06.680
would he do it? And how
does that short period of time transpire so

312
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:15.440
quickly? Is there something going on
Blockaded Nation behind the scenes that is almost

313
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:22.240
incomprehensible. Are we starting to get
to where we can't trust mixed martial arts?

314
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:25.039
I got to ask these questions,
why would he do it? I

315
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:27.519
haven't been given a grant answer to
why. I can't come up? Why

316
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:32.720
why would Egor do this? Why
would he give up a chance to be

317
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:40.079
in the UFC after his first debut? And why did this happen so quickly

318
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:45.319
from point A to point B?
Why does it seem like there's always some

319
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:49.920
incident from two ninety nine to three
hundred to keep eyes on the product to

320
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:56.599
get us through to the pay per
view in April that should have more pizazz

321
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.559
to it than it does, should
have more splendor then it does. It

322
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:06.000
makes a fan like me happy of
what's on the card. But for you

323
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:11.720
casual fans, can you tell me
who Jamal Hill is? Can you tell

324
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:17.839
me who Ardman Sorrukion is? Can
you tell me who Bo Nicol is?

325
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:25.480
A diehard fan could tell you.
But is there something here that's happening under

326
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:30.559
the table, behind the scenes,
in the shadows, that's taken away from

327
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:36.200
the legitimacy of this sport. I
certainly hope not Blockhead Nation, as that's

328
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:40.079
all I have to bring forward to
you tonight as we go back to the

329
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:45.319
Apex, and as we have another
night of fights coming forward, but getting

330
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.799
us to UFC three hundred. I'll
be checking back within you next week.
