The Introvert Saves The Day As Mexico Rules The Cage

WEBVTT

1
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.960
Broadcasting Live. Good afternoon, Blockhead
Nation. Thank you for stopping by once

2
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.759
again. You are listening to your
favorite Blockhead, the only podcast in the

3
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:42.039
podcasting world that can somehow incorporate the
Peanuts comic strip one minute and then be

4
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:46.960
talking about MMA and warriors inside the
octagon the next. I am your host.

5
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.719
My name is Brian Little. Thank
you for coming by. Come on

6
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.960
in, sit down and relax with
me in the Blockhead Mansion as I am

7
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.920
babysitting the dogs that we have here
at the house. We've got the little

8
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.640
red haired girl is on to a
women's conference, so that means I'm here

9
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.079
to entertain you on my own.
And if you can't stop by the mansion,

10
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.840
whether you're out and about today,
I just appreciate the fact you came

11
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:12.840
by this little podcast, and I
can guarantee you if you are new to

12
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.920
the show. Three things are always
talked about. Number one, God is

13
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.760
king. Number two Peanuts is the
single most successful comic strip in American history.

14
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.799
And number three, mixed martial arts
is the greatest sport under God's hot

15
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.280
sun. So as I talk to
you here in the living room of my

16
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.640
house with these dogs that I'm babysitting. I apologize if the audio quality might

17
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.640
be a little bit off, but
I enjoy talking to you every Saturday.

18
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:46.120
I really do. It's a true
passion of mine and I'm thankful that the

19
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.359
downloads are doing exceptionally well. So
thank you blockhead Nation. You've been showing

20
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.920
up and showing out and it means
a lot. So what I will get

21
00:01:55.959 --> 00:02:02.200
immediately into for today's episode is another
particular character that was given their own series.

22
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:10.240
I recently talked about the presentation of
Franklin's series. Again, if you

23
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.199
are not privy to this, Apple
TV is the way to go to get

24
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.680
a lot of the new Peanuts that's
out. If you want to catch the

25
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:23.000
Peanuts movie, I think you can
do that on HBO Max. Now I

26
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.680
used to be on Disney Plus.
It's kind of hard to know. But

27
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.280
what I like about this is the
parent company, Wild Brain is given a

28
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:38.520
lot of noticeability and notoriety to several
of the characters that are not just Snoopy,

29
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.439
They're not just Charlie Brown. It's
becoming very well round it. And

30
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.520
the one I talked about a few
weeks ago was Franklin, and I'm thrilled

31
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.960
that that was introduced in the month
of February during Black History Month. It

32
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.560
was even though you know that those
who were here for that episode, I

33
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.199
shared my thoughts, my opinions on
it, and I'm one of the minority

34
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.039
that will share with you where I
think there are problems with it that are

35
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.319
rewriting Charles Schultz's history. And like
the song by Green Day, I want

36
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.159
to be the minority. I don't
care. I'll tell you what I think.

37
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:14.879
But overall, it is a good
production. And there was one that

38
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.080
was released last year in twenty twenty
three that kind of got went under the

39
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:25.159
radar, and in a way that's
fair to say because it's talking about Marcie

40
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.199
and it's not Peanuts Presents, it's
not Good Old Charlie Brown Present, it's

41
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:37.759
Snoopy Presents. And the TV special
was Marsy being one of a kind,

42
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.080
So Snoopy Presents one of a kind
Marcy. And not only that, but

43
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:49.919
it even got the award for Best
Special Production at the Any Awards. So

44
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:57.039
let's not kid ourselves. This was
a well put together portrayal of Marcy because

45
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.319
Marcy is the introvert of the group. And if you don't know this about

46
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.080
your block at Nation. I'm a
little more of an introvert than you might

47
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:09.439
think being an only child. There
are times that I want to be with

48
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.439
my friends, but then there are
times that I fight for my alone time.

49
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.600
There is so much about Marcie in
this episode, One of a kind

50
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:25.600
that speaks to my soul. That
shows that you want to help somebody,

51
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.000
but then sometimes all you want to
do is run away. You want to

52
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:33.360
collect your thoughts in private and then
bring it out and share it with everyone.

53
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:40.040
Well, that was talked about many
times in this particular episode. So

54
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.519
Marci is one of those people who
just works behind the scenes. And if

55
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.720
you know this, there are always
gonna be people in your life, in

56
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.600
your industry that don't want to be
noticed by the public. They want to

57
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.720
keep things going behind the scenes.
For instance, on a Sunday morning,

58
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.240
the pastor shouldn't be worrying about what's
being displayed behind him or her, and

59
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.279
he shouldn't be worried about the music. I mean, there's somebody that takes

60
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:11.480
care of that in the back and
they're crucial. So that's always been Marcie.

61
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.360
When it comes to portraying all of
the characters in the Peanuts comic strip

62
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.399
that goes from the comic strip to
the TV series even to this new Snoopy

63
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:26.800
presents One of a Kind Marcy that
won Best Special Production for the Annie Awards

64
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:31.399
that Apple TV has portrayed her as
ands it overall is a really good production.

65
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:36.160
I've watched it and I'll say this, well you might forget is Marci

66
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:44.560
actually wanted to Catalon. Now that
means I got to go back to the

67
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:51.839
eighties for the episode You're the Greatest
Charlie Brown, where Marcy wasn't really pushed

68
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:56.639
a lot in that episode, but
she was always there in the background.

69
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:02.240
She was the positive influence on Charlie
Brown when all Peppermint Patty cared about was

70
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.920
winning. And you know, they
needed somebody to fill that spot for the

71
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.199
track meet, and Charlie Brown came
in and said, well, I'll do

72
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.240
it. I'll do it since I'm
not going on vacation. Even a last

73
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.639
try to tell him that's a lot
of hard work you have to do every

74
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.279
single of hint that there is.
Well again, Charlie Brown takes one for

75
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:25.600
the team, but the expectations are
pretty low, so Marcy comes in as

76
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.920
extra reinforcement. What you may not
know about that episode is Marci wins the

77
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:38.720
whole decathlon. Basically, Charlie Brown
makes a major mistake in the last stretch

78
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:45.120
of the decathlon, the final race. He's got his eyes shut. He's

79
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.319
dreaming about being the next Bruce Chinner. That should date where we are from

80
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:55.720
the eighties when he was a track
star, and so he's he's daydreaming about

81
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.759
what's going to happen, and then
he takes a wrong turn and runs completely

82
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.000
off the track. Race is still
going. You got the masked Marvel known

83
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:08.720
as Snoopy, you got another contender, and you got Marcy that are still

84
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:13.720
running. Well. You find out
in the end even though Charlie Brown left,

85
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.680
Marcy ultimately wins the entire thing.
So the school wins, and Marcy

86
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:26.519
wins to the kathlon and the other
two apparently got tangled at the end and

87
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.160
you know, tumbled into each other. Whatever the case was. It was

88
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.000
a conundrum. And she wins.
And what she doesn't do is go around

89
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:38.839
gloating about it. Marcy is very
much that person who is an introvert and

90
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:44.079
doesn't want to be in the public's
eye. Thanks appreciate it. Now,

91
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.000
I got things to do and she
continues to flirt with Charlie Brown says,

92
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.040
I still think you're the greatest,
Charles and winks at him right in front

93
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:56.000
of it from a Patty, So
that's golden, that's wild. But I

94
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.759
just want you to kind of know
that if you need another TV series to

95
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.079
check check out besides Welcome Home Franklin, it doesn't hurt to go and check

96
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.040
out one of a kind. Marcy. Maybe that speaks to you if you

97
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.399
were listening as a podcast fan of
this show and you're listening to maybe I'm

98
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.800
an introvert to some of you have
to be out in public. Some of

99
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:22.199
you just don't function without having your
alone time. That's Marcy. And really,

100
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.879
Charlie Brown only took the position in
that episode of the Decathlon because it

101
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.759
was best for the team. It
was an act of selflessness. Okay,

102
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.360
Charlie Brown is not one of these
guys where I have to be the best.

103
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.759
That would be Peppermint Patty, that
would be the tomboy she asked to

104
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:50.080
be the best. Marcy works better
in the background, but she's also a

105
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:56.480
very good problem solver and doesn't want
the notoriety for it. Charlie Brown has

106
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.879
said himself. This is when he
was at the psychiatric booth with Lucy.

107
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.519
I'll conclude on this thought just to
show you the mindset of good old Charlie

108
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:11.120
Brown. Charlie Brown is told by
Lucy, maybe you would know your worth

109
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.559
if you want it something to go
win at the Game of life. Charlie

110
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.960
Brown just looks at the thought bubble
in the comic strip and says, I

111
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.639
wouldn't be happy if I actually just
made the playoffs. Don't really have to

112
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.200
win the whole thing, but make
a decent showing. He has shown that

113
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.240
so many times from the comic strip
to the TV shows, and I can

114
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.399
give you so many examples, but
I want to stay inside of the decathlon.

115
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.240
Pepermin Patty is the one that's trying
to force him to win for the

116
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.480
sake of her and the sake of
the school. Marcy is the backup who

117
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:52.559
ends up winning the whole thing and
praises Charlie Brown instead of herself and doesn't

118
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.240
let it go to her head.
Charlie Brown just wants a chance to not

119
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:05.399
so much be the best, but
show up and show out and be satisfied

120
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.320
with his results. That's kind of
the truth over here. Blockhead Nation.

121
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.120
Let's face it, this little podcast, this is not me downplaying myself.

122
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:20.000
But the truth is I am in
a heavily saturated world of podcasting on a

123
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.399
society and culture, and the fact
that so many of you are still listening,

124
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.440
still downloading, still engaging, and
still coming back means a lot.

125
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:35.039
This show will never be a rival
to the Joe Rogan experience. It just

126
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.320
won't. It won't even be in
the top ten rankings for society and culture,

127
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.679
for what's that podcast stuff? You
should know things you should know.

128
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:50.240
I'm in competition with NPR Radio.
That's just not going to happen. So

129
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.720
just know there's a lot to learn
about who Marcy is as an introvert and

130
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.759
somebody who works in the background.
But this little podcaster, just like Charlie

131
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.039
brown On. Sure, if I
don't make the playoffs, wonderful, If

132
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.799
I'm not a wild card, wonderful. But to know that I get to

133
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:11.799
come in every Saturday and talk with
you is a privilege. And I want

134

to continue to give you the best
entertainment, the messed education, and the

135
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:20.919
best edification that I possibly can and
I hope you'll stick around as we get

136
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.840

149
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.720
Our scripture reading for this podcast comes
from Micah chapter seven, verse seven.

150
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.080
Therefore, I will look unto the
Lord. I will wait for the God

151
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:43.200
of my salvation. My God will
hear me reflection from blue latter Bible says,

152
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.759
bolster your faith. Call out to
the very Lord of the heavens for

153
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.279
strength. He will surely hear you. Ask of him a measure more of

154
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:58.799
faith. And he's so surely granted. He is the Lord of all and

155
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.600
delights in blessing his children with every
good thing. And can I just say

156
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:09.240
for the record that we have a
good thing coming tonight with the UFC in

157
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:18.879
Mexico. Okay, Brandon versus Brandon
main event. The flyweights and the featherweights

158
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.440
are on display for the Comaine and
for the main event in Mexico. And

159
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.440
you might think, oh, these
are two rematches, they don't matter.

160
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:31.360
No, let me tell you.
I'll save that little nugget just for a

161
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.840
second. But first let's do a
quick recap of last week. You had

162
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:43.320
Morob versus Sahudo. Morob is a
winner, and Henry Sehudo decides he's going

163
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.919
to retire. Less than five days
later, I'm seeing through the internet in

164
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.600
the dirt sheets, oh he's not
gonna retire, And I quote, I

165
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.759
can't go out like this. I
really don't know what that means anymore.

166
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.679
I kind of have to go along
with Dana at this point that maybe he

167
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.840
shouldhouldn't have retired when he did.
If you're going to retire at the top,

168
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.080
then you probably shouldn't have returned,
or you should have stayed and continued

169
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.200
to have an amazing career, which
he was really on the cusp of.

170
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:20.039
Now here is so Hudo being a
wrestling champion that he is and a former

171
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.799
UFC champion that he is. It's
just kind of one of those mm do

172
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.399
we call this the King of Cringe
two point zero? Is it a continuation?

173
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.320
I guess we'll see if I didn't
see that when he was facing Motorrob

174
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.519
at the stairdown, it was all
business, all intensity, and Morob just

175
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.720
happened to get the best of him
and the better takedowns and really worked his

176
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.840
guard and really worked on the ground. So good fight. But Sahudo retires

177
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:54.919
and then unretires Ian Gary. Even
though it wasn't exactly his best performance,

178
00:14:54.879 --> 00:15:01.320
he wins, and then he decides
to call out Colby Cove. Now that

179
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:09.639
is an interesting strategy for this undefeated
guy who was tried very hard to be

180
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:15.879
a Connor McGregor two point zero to
call out one of the most loved and

181
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.559
most hated guys in all of the
welterweight division, which would be Colby,

182
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.360
who didn't give his best performance as
of laught time, and he said that

183
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:28.279
he had broken his foot, but
he was certainly able to go around Las

184
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:33.080
Vegas and gamble and able to enjoy
himselves out in public until the X rays

185
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.679
came in. So it's really you
could have a very interesting matchup between these

186
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.440
two. We'll see how that portrays
out. But now we have to look

187
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.159
forward, and I want to give
a little bit of a foreshadowing. I'm

188
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.360
not saying this is exactly what's gonna
come to Fruition. I'm really not.

189
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.679
What I'm saying is you got a
big pay per view coming up with UFC

190
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:02.799
two ninety nine, and the main
event is another rematch Sean O'Malley versus Cheatovera.

191
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:10.080
I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I think Sean O'Malley will defeat

192
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:15.879
Cheatovera. I believe he's a very
different fighter than he was. I believe

193
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.039
the way that he finished Al Jamaine
Sterling is foretelling of what he can do

194
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:26.080
if he touches you on the chin. He is already asking for Morob de

195
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.440
watace Veeley, who just finished off
Henry Shudo, who I believe whenever they

196
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.960
fight at two ninety nine, I'm
expecting Morob to be cage side of all

197
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:40.639
the people that the camera will zoom
in on, whether it is NBA players,

198
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:45.519
or Donald Trump himself or the Rock
whoever it might be. I'm pretty

199
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.600
sure Morob is gonna be there at
cage side, watching and making his own

200
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:55.559
film No Real three point five,
but his twenty twenty vision, whatever his

201
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.960
vision is at at this point,
he gets to see everything from the strike,

202
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.240
to the footwork, to the wrestling
takedown defense, to how he does

203
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.559
against the fence, off the fence, He's gonna be able to see it

204
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:14.480
all. So let's just say Morob
is watching, and then you have Sean

205
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:19.039
who will be victorious. And now
Marob wants that other white jacket that's Sean

206
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.519
O'Malley's always wearing. He's already taken
one jacket off him, the red one,

207
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.759
the Michael Jackson jacket, and has
put it on and ticked off Sean.

208
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:33.119
So number one contender versus Sean O'Malley
down the road. But here's what

209
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:38.680
I think. Even though you will
have a one for one. Now Cheeto

210
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:47.000
has one win over Sean. Sean
has a win over Cheeto. You could

211
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:55.079
easily have a best two out of
three because Sean could possibly defeat Marob when

212
00:17:55.079 --> 00:18:00.160
they face each other and guests who's
sitting cage side, and once Shawn O'Malley

213
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:06.160
has one got his hand raised,
whether it's decision or a submission, or

214
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:10.799
a knockout or a doctor stoppage,
whatever the case is, he will have

215
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:18.559
enough grounds to say the rematch you
want is with me best two out of

216
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:23.920
three. So I believe what the
most bang for our buck that could happen

217
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:32.440
with all of this is Sean defeating
Cheeto, Marob being cage side, Seawan

218
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:37.559
beating Morob, Cheetos seeing cage side
and calling for a rematch. This is

219
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:42.839
all foreshadowing of what I think could
happen with the bantam weights for twenty twenty

220
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:48.440
four into the year twenty twenty five. I'm not saying it's solidified. I'm

221
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:53.799
saying a lot of this is just
speculation. But in a way, my

222
00:18:55.039 --> 00:19:00.440
historical trajectory works out pretty well for
this sport, and I foreshadow things that

223
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.720
eventually do happen, And I foreshadowed
what's gonna be the main event at three

224
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:10.759
hundred, which I'll talk about in
a minute, that just needs to happen,

225
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.839
but maybe not on this car.
So that's my foreshadow of the bantamweights.

226
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:21.559
Now to move on to the new
champion, Elia Taporia finds the button,

227
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:29.160
knocks out the possible goat of the
featherweights, Alexander Volkanowski. Dream is

228
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:36.680
achieved, Ilia's new champion undefeated streak
lives, and Taporia is saying no,

229
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.799
I will not fight Max Holloway,
which gives a chance for Max Holloway to

230
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:49.119
face the BMF. Two of the
most beloved guys in the entire UFC facing

231
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:56.359
each other at UFC three hundred,
the current BMF title holder Justin Gagee against

232
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:03.519
one of the most beloved and blessed
he hint for his gimmick fighters in the

233
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:08.559
history of the UFC, which is
Max Holloway, who nobody has anything horrible

234
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:14.039
to say about, and it's really
hard to find holes in his game.

235
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:21.960
So I believe there will come a
time that the UFC will offer Max a

236
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:29.000
chance against Elia at the Poria,
regardless of what happens in the BMF bout

237
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.759
at UFC three hundred, again,
I'm really chomping at the bit to talk

238
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.799
about in UFC three hundred, but
I'm gonna have to cover one thing too

239
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:44.279
tonight. Brandon Moreno Brandon Royval.
This is a rematch that's happening in Mexico,

240
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.480
clearly the most beloved one. If
you watch the press conference, if

241
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.559
you watch the way ins, and
you watch the crowd. Brandon Moreno the

242
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:57.759
guy that has a love for legos. He's a kid at heart. He

243
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.920
wins the championship, says now I'm
gonna go buy some more legos. He's

244
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:10.039
always inside the legostore. But Brandon
Moreno being the first Mexican fighter to win

245
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:14.039
a UFC championship, this is huge
for the flyways. But now it's against

246
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:15.799
the guy that he did defeat.
But if you go watch it back,

247
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:21.640
they're scrambled on the ground. Roy
Val gives up his back and Brandon Morano

248
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:26.599
finishes him with ground and pound.
But if you watch, something was wrong.

249
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.200
Joe Rogan mentioned, Oh he's hurt. What is he grabbing. He's

250
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:36.599
either grabbing his elbow or his wrist, and whatever it was, Flack snaps

251
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:41.319
it back into place and has to
have his arm worked on. So we

252
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.720
got an injury here. We have
a defeat for Brandon Morano. So Brandon

253
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:52.920
Royval is known to be wild.
I'm watching the breakdown from Michael Kissa and

254
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.480
Laura Sanka and they all say the
same thing. This kid is probably going

255
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:02.079
to charge forward. The question is
is that gonna be a mistake against Bran

256
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:06.319
rant any of this? Listen,
do you know of any flaws in Brandon

257
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:11.720
Moreno's fight game? Because I certainly
can't find any. So Brandon Royval has

258
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:18.480
the most to prove tonight. Brandon
Moreno is the fan favorite. Two very

259
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.720
beloved guys that I can't wait to
watch. And then you have the co

260
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.680
main event prior to that, two
great friends fighting in Mexico. Yay r

261
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.720
Rodriguez El Pantera, who is one
of the most unorthodox fighters you will ever

262
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:37.799
see, versus Brian t City or
Tega again, another beloved fighter. They've

263
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.559
already fought each other, But what
could have been a doctor Stoppach's pronounce is

264
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:47.359
a TKO. He gets him in
that attempt at a triangle, choked into

265
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:51.880
an armbar and then he pulls Brian's
shoulder out of socket. So we have

266
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:55.759
an injury. So Brian might be
a little bit salty about this, but

267
00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:00.160
they don't hate each other. Both
families know each other very well. But

268
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:04.480
Brian Ortega has a little bit more
to prove. But you got a awesome

269
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:07.559
stare down between these two where they
hold the flag up and they just pose

270
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:12.920
together as friends. There's no heat, there's no animosity between the main event

271
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:18.039
or the kommandment tonight in Mexico.
Who's gonna win these fights? Anyone who

272
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.960
tunes in, anybody that is a
fan in Mexico that happens to go to

273
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:27.839
this venue. You got the return
of Ravu Rosas Junior, who we still

274
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:33.000
expect great things out of for a
very young guy with one loss on his

275
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.799
record. So everything about UFC Mexico
tonight is so fantastic. But let me

276
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:44.000
go back to what I tell you
why I said foreshadowing happens on this podcast.

277
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:52.200
I mentioned to you that Alex Perea
will be facing Jamal Hill, and

278
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:59.359
y f B was right, Okay, I was not right about Eliot Taporia.

279
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.599
Okay. The wife be curse is
real, the Chail curse is real.

280
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:10.119
I thought Max, given his blessing, would be a I guess slate

281
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:14.720
cleaner that that would counter out everything
that people have said about m that Max

282
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.400
giving Vulk the approval would work,
but it didn't happen. In the second

283
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.559
round, Elia found the perfect spot
and used his power and finished Vulk.

284
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.799
I figured that that would be the
common nominor, but it wasn't enough.

285
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:32.960
But either way, So when I
come to foreshadowing, Jamal Hill never lost

286
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.200
the title. He's out doing an
injury. He vacates the title. Yuripro

287
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:42.200
Hoska and Alex Perea face each other
for the interim title holder, and this

288
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:48.160
monster, Alex Perea is now champion
and has been a champion in two different

289
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:53.920
divisions. But I'm gonna say it, if you've never watched professional wrestling,

290
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:59.759
there was something that happened a few
years back where a guy named Siam Punk

291
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.720
left an event called Money in the
Bank with the WW title. Okay,

292
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.160
fast forward a little bit. The
show must go on. John Cena will

293
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:17.839
defeat Ray Mastereo to become the new
WW champion. As he's still in the

294
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:22.039
ring catching his breath from a huge
match. Next thing you hear is Cult

295
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:29.559
of Personality and outwalks see him Punk. John Sena holds up his title that

296
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.319
he just won in his hands.
But then if you notice the level of

297
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:38.759
elevation, see him Punk holds up
his title that he never lost, and

298
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:45.079
he holds it higher than John Cena's
reach reachul advantage that night and went to

299
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:52.440
see him Punk. I say that
just because Jamal Hill and Alex Perea are

300
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.920
now facing each other for the undisputed
light Heavyweight Championship, and they're facing each

301
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:07.519
other at You've see three hundred.
Okay, as a die hard MMA fan

302
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.079
who's been watching for the last couple
of years, this is a fight that

303
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:17.880
needed to happen, I don't particularly
have a problem with it. But here's

304
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:23.160
what I have a problem with is
YOU'VEC three hundred is missing something crucial?

305
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:34.039
Was it missing a super fight?
It doesn't have one. It has fights

306
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:41.640
that should happen, like Alex Perea
versus Jamal Hill. To determine with that,

307
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.680
I think that was originally going to
be UFC three hundred in Rio.

308
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.599
So I can't lay all this at
the feet of the UFC. If these

309
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:56.440
other opportunities fell through the cracks,
if we couldn't get for one night for

310
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:03.440
Kabeb to return to face Ansari,
UFC three hundred for one night for George

311
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.279
Saint Pierre to come back, one
of the Diaz brothers to return and face

312
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:14.160
somebody on the main card as a
super fight. Now, granted, you

313
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:18.839
do have Justin Gatgee versus Max Holloway, two beloved fighters for the BMF title.

314
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:23.319
You got Zangueil versus Jon Sejon for
the women's strawway title belt. You

315
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:27.960
got Alex Perea and Jamal Hill.
You got Olivera versus tarrooki On. You

316
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.039
got Parhosco versus Rache. You've got
some really Aljamain Sterling and Cater. You

317
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.319
got Bo Nickel on this fight.
You got some awesome fights Figuraedo versus Garbrant,

318
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:41.880
My goodness. But what you don't
have is a super fight for one

319
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:48.079
night. We couldn't get Misha Tate
and Ronda Rausei one last time for whatever

320
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:55.599
reason, montary value, lack of
interest in the fight, preoccupy, whatever

321
00:27:55.599 --> 00:28:00.160
it is. We got Holly Holm
versus Kayla Harrison. This is wonderful for

322
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.200
somebody like me who's been following the
sport for a while. For the guys

323
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:08.400
who keep coming back, we're getting
rewarded, but we know something's missing.

324
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:15.119
We don't have any super fights.
You can't call on brock Lesnar since he's

325
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.720
involved in something with sex trafficking Anvince
McMahon, so that's not an option.

326
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:26.359
It's just it's lacking a super fight. What it's rewarding is fans like me

327
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.599
who have been around for a while
that know why these fights do need to

328
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.680
happen. It's just with the UFC
three hundred venue, you have a stake,

329
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.720
but you certainly don't have the sizzle. And I'll leave you on that

330
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.839
note. And I thank you so
much blockhead Nation for sticking around. I

331
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.279
love talking to you all every Saturday
game. My thoughts out there, whether

332
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.359
it's related to the Peanuts, whether
it's the UFC, whether ultimately God is

333
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:55.720
king. And I thank you so
