Transparency From A Desired-To-Be Old Soul

WEBVTT

1
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:30.440
Broadcasting Live good evening, Blockhead Nation, thank you for stopping by once again.

2
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:36.719
You are listening to your favorite blockhead, the only podcast in the podcasting

3
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.560
world that can somehow incorporate the Peanuts
comic strip one minute and then be talking

4
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.719
about MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon
the next. I am your host.

5
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.159
My name is Brian Little, And
just to say that it's post three hundred,

6
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:56.479
I'm still in awe. I had
wonderful friends that came by. We

7
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.439
got the little red haired girl to
speak for the first time Willingly on that

8
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.920
episode, and it just went together
very well. So that's thanks to the

9
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.000
listeners. That's thanks to the friends
who came by and took the time to

10
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:12.640
piece that together. So we made
it work just because you know, everybody

11
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.920
has different work schedules. So we
would record it and I would piece it

12
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.840
together that Saturday, and it all
fell together and y'all listened, and the

13
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.159
downloads were phenomenal, and I'm just
still in awe of it. And I

14
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.920
made a joke about something I have
to kind of address here. I made

15
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.640
a joke in the beginning that I
was sponsored by seven to eleven, when

16
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.879
all that had happened was I got
a free coffee because I forgot my phone

17
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.439
for redemption points. But if you
listen back during that week, it's not

18
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.599
there. Now, you know those
mid roles that come on these podcasts that

19
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.400
I do well, there was a
mid role for seven to eleven, so

20
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.000
I guess they threw some cents back
my way. But that was really a

21
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.200
fun episode. And again I wish
I could have done more than a top

22
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.280
ten. I wish I got done
a top twenty, a top thirty.

23
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.359
We might have even pulled off a
top fifty if I've been given ample time

24
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.599
and be able to get everybody's work
schedule and work accordingly with that. But

25
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.759
either way, there have been so
many of you have been part of the

26
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.599
podcasts, that have been friends,
that have been listeners, that have been

27
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.800
guests, that have done artwork,
and I'm just in awe. So please

28
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.280
know all of you that have been
part of this show, whether you've listened

29
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.759
in or you've participated, you're part
of the network, or you've just somehow

30
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:31.120
reached out and you've done some manner
of appreciation, you're all part of the

31
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.439
Blockhead Nation. I mean, it's
not really a hard application process, but

32
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.520
it means a lot, and it
was so fun. So thank you to

33
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:44.080
everybody for listening in. Thank you
for those who participated. I feel like

34
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.639
it went very well. The little
red haired girl had a blast listening to

35
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.439
that. She even was like,
I don't want to go into the store

36
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.280
right now. I want to hear
who number six is. I want to

37
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.560
know who number five is. And
it all worked out, and so as

38
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.759
we speak, people like smiling Sam
Alvi have a fight going on in karate.

39
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.159
I'm bat tonight. So best wishes
to Sam as we just move this

40
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.759
thing along. But I have to
address something that came up in the episode.

41
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:13.199
Drew Turner was guest number eight,
and he mentioned that Garfield was his

42
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.120
favorite comic. I knew we would
go down that route somehow. Brotherson's a

43
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.599
fan of Calvin and Hobbs and he's
a fan of Garfield, and I was

44
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.879
too. I've always been a fan
of those, but you know, I'm

45
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:30.240
just loyal to the most successful comic
strip in American history that has withstood the

46
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.120
test of time, which is The
Peanuts. But if you look at Garfield

47
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.199
itself, the question came up and
I thought to myself, has there been

48
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:45.680
a crossover? Has there been one
for Garfield and the Peanuts, and my

49
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:51.800
answer is absolutely. I mean,
you could simply do a simple Google search

50
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.319
and see that Garfield and Peanuts have
been together. But one of them I

51
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.439
think was one of my favorites,
not just the one or Garfield looked in

52
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.199
the mirror and saw Snoopy and thought, well, this is gonna be one

53
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.919
of those Mondays. There was one
about what do you get if you cross

54
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.479
my comic strip with the Peanuts and
then you have Charlie brown Snoopy in the

55
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:16.319
background, and he mentioned something about
I'm guessing a licensing deal of some kind.

56
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:21.240
So there have been mentions of the
Peanuts in Garfield as well. If

57
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:27.720
you go back and look at especially
when Charles Schultz passed away, there was

58
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.600
definitely some love given from Jim Davis
on that. So there's been that friendly

59
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:36.399
competition for years. But yes,
there has been a crossover between Garfield and

60
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.319
the Peanuts many times and the comic
strips, and I had to bring it

61
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.519
up. So now that I've gotten
all that out of the way, I

62
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.079
wanted to kind of do another crossover
and mentioned that my friends that are part

63
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:57.160
of the YFB network, the Empty
Slate mentioned a song. Before I'd had

64
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.839
a chance to listen to it,
i'd heard it talked about the water cooler.

65
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.720
I guess you can say, but
I'm gonna bring it up. I'm

66
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.160
going to bring up something that can
be a lesson for everybody that's tuning in.

67
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:15.480
And the lesson comes from the artist
and slash non artist, the guy

68
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.439
who has made some waves on YouTube
and in Washington, DC, North of

69
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:27.079
Richmond. The guy I'm talking about
is Oliver Anthony. So the guys were

70
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.680
discussing it and Chris had mentioned how
everything in that song is absolutely true.

71
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:38.720
This man has put out an anthem
for the way middle, upper middle,

72
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:45.000
and anything below that most American citizens, and really worldwide. If you go

73
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.560
look back at the comments, there
are people from so many different countries that

74
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:54.720
feel the same way as what's in
this song, rich Men North of Richmond

75
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:59.199
by Oliver Anthony. If you haven't
heard it, be prepared to have shock

76
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.800
waves run three as you hear these
words. Sometimes it just takes the right

77
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:09.560
person to come along and personalize something
for you. But Oliver Anthony has something

78
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.639
that all of us should strive for. If you want to go into the

79
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.759
creative realm, if you want to
go into this podcasting YouTube and you want

80
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.800
to go into vlogging, you want
to go Facebook live, you want to

81
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.519
go the route that we're going through
this thing called the Internet. You have

82
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:30.639
to have something that Oliver encapsulated perfectly
with his music, and that word is

83
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:38.720
transparency. There is another show that
is kind of the subsection. It's like

84
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:44.399
an off branding of the Dave Ramsey
Show. It's called The Ken Coleman Live

85
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.040
Podcast. And if you've never heard
Ken Coleman, he goes into detail about

86
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.800
this song, which is which is
great. This is a guy who if

87
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:55.720
you want to master getting past the
nine to five, I'm not your guy.

88
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.079
If you want to go and figure
that out, I'm gonna point you

89
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.720
to people like Dan Miller, who
wrote forty eight Days to the Work you

90
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.600
love. But Ken Coleman is a
good resource. He broke down the Oliver

91
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:11.480
Anthony's story how he turned down eight
million dollars in a contract so he wouldn't

92
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.920
be signed to a record label because
he's just not that way, and he's

93
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.360
just he's and that makes him even
more marketable amongst the people, because yeah,

94
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:24.120
he's one of us. He didn't, you know, sell out to

95
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.199
the man so quickly, since his
rise to the top was so fast and

96
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.240
furious. I'm proud to say that
one of my Instagram posts got a lot

97
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:40.680
of noticeability from him and from others
because at one point Oliver Anthony pulled out

98
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:46.399
the Bible. That man does have
a testimony that I wish he would pull

99
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:51.000
out and use more often. But
either way, I got to interact with

100
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.360
him slightly a little bit. That's
my own pounding my own chest when you

101
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:58.920
know, go me. Oliver Anthony
noticed my post, but it was simply

102
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.720
to say that people like Peter and
John stood before the Sadducees, the religious

103
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.240
leaders and made them look like fools, and they were just common, ordinary

104
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.120
people. Peter was a fisherman,
you know, John was a physician.

105
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.240
You know. You've got guys that
were disciples of Jesus, that were tax

106
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.480
collectors, that were zealots, that
were just ordinary, common, everyday fisherman,

107
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:30.720
and they could make the high ups
look ridiculous. So I'm thankful that

108
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.559
people like Oliver Anthony can get their
testimony out there and tell what they feel.

109
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.000
But he did something that all of
us should strive for, and he

110
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.080
spoke a language everybody could understand.
Let me give an idea. In American

111
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.879
history, Thomas Payne writes a book
called Common Sense. That book is by

112
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:54.120
a guy who becomes what's called an
Enlightenment thinker that was able to write a

113
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:00.639
pamphlet that could resonate in the colonies
before we fought Britain. It could resonate

114
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:07.879
with the highest elites in society to
a tobacco plantation slave in Georgia, the

115
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:16.360
language was understood. You have musicians
like Oliver Anthony that speak your language and

116
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.559
make you go, oh, them's
my people. That's what they would say

117
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:24.039
in Virginia in the holler. That's
where he is in the holler with some

118
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.720
dogs that are sun tanning and sunbathing, and he's just playing a doughbro And

119
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.120
it's not even that great of music
if you want to compare it to like

120
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.600
blues or jazz or even some modern
day country that could put that to shame.

121
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.360
But he speaks a language that we
all understood. That tongue in cheek

122
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:48.919
about how people in Washington, DC
are robbing and cheating us. Who elected

123
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.600
you in the first play or whether
it was legit or not. Oliver Anthony

124
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.120
did something that I'm going to challenge
all of you to do the same,

125
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.440
and including myself, to know how
to speak a language that a I will

126
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.639
follow. Speak your truth, be
honest to who you are. I'm a

127
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.679
Peanuts fan and an MMA fan.
I'm the only podcast that does this and

128
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.559
I can legitimately say that. So
those that are looking for a creative outlet,

129
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.440
what are you doing that's similar to
what Oliver Anthony was able to do

130
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.840
on such a mass level at a
short period of time that Ken Coleman praised

131
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:31.279
on his show and got him even
more notoriety. That's my challenge to you,

132
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.080
Blockhead Nation. As we shift into
the scripture of the day and we

133
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.120
get into the wacky world of mixed
martial arts that I've been itching to share

134
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:56.879
of you for a while. Our
scripture reading for this podcast comes from Acts

135
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:03.039
chapter four versus eleven or twelve.
This Jesus is the stone that was rejected

136
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:09.399
by you, the builders, which
has become the cornerstone. And there is

137
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:16.799
salvation in no one else, for
there is no other name under Heaven given

138
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:22.639
among men by which we must be
saved. Mentioned earlier about Oliver Anthony,

139
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:28.879
and I'm gonna bring this full circle. Jesus was murdered by the Pharisees,

140
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:35.559
well really instigated by the Pharisees as
he was crucified. Then you had the

141
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.799
Sadducees who didn't like that. Peter
and John were, you know, speaking

142
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:46.879
about resurrection in Jesus's name, and
they heal this crippled man, and there's

143
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.720
so many witnesses and now they're standing
before the Sadducees and they're going, under

144
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:56.480
what authority did you do this?
Well, that authority would be the one

145
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:01.960
who resurrected, ascended will return one
day, and Peter and John have been

146
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.960
prepared for this moment for a very
long time. And so again I share

147
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.480
that because one I share my faith, and two because whoever you are,

148
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:22.200
your testimony matters. And may your
testimony always edify the Prince of Peace,

149
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.720
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. So if you look one more thing

150
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.840
I wanted to mention before I forget
it. If you're looking on my podcast

151
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.240
and you're going, I don't see
an episode on here, You're exactly right.

152
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.639
It's not anything personal. But my
days of numbered my podcasts are over.

153
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.240
And the reason why is after I've
looked at the data and all the

154
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.960
analytics. I've realized that most of
you, not all of you, but

155
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:52.000
about seventy five percent of you are
listening on a phone through Apple Podcasts,

156
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.919
and Apple does not like having numbers
in the name. So we had to

157
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:03.720
stop with episode three hundred and because
of that, that means that if it's

158
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.080
got a problem with episode numbers being
in there, then the computer does not.

159
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:13.639
This shows how unsmart some things in
technology are. If you got numbers

160
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.360
in there, it's harder to find
your episodes and distribute them out. So

161
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.080
you can't go against the monster that
is Apple or the one who. According

162
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:31.039
to Podcast Awards twenty twenty three,
the number one listening platform was Apple Podcasts.

163
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.559
Spotify was number ten. So those
of you that are numbering your episodes

164
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.159
not telling you not to do it, I'm telling you maybe you should reconsider.

165
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.639
I mean, you can still do
it, and it's still available.

166
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.039
But since if you're looking at your
analytics and your prime vehicle for people to

167
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:56.240
hear your voice as Apple Podcasts,
they don't like numbers in them. I

168
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.639
can't go against the almighty Apple,
can I? Just like I can't go

169
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.200
against the Big Apple known as New
York. So anyway, that's a reference

170
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:09.039
that only somebody inside the WIFEB Network
Chris would understand. But as we move

171
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.320
into mixed martial arts, I've been
wanting to share this for a while.

172
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:18.720
We had a heavy weight about two
weeks back, Surreal Gone and Spivak,

173
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.799
and Sergey Spivak gets absolutely lit up
by Gone, and I was talking with

174
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.639
some of the guys in our chat
for the WIFEB Network and they were saying,

175
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.360
how this is such a waste of
time to watch this. It's not

176
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:41.440
that fight that matters. I'm gonna
take you back. Tom Apspinall absolutely walks

177
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.480
through his opponent after returning from a
knee injury, and he said he would

178
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:54.159
be cage side at Paris. He
would be watching Gone versus Spivak, and

179
00:14:54.279 --> 00:15:00.840
whoever wins that fight, that's who
he's gone to face. What that does

180
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:07.919
is now that Surreal Gone is gonna
be his opponent. Tom Aspenall, sitting

181
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:13.840
cage side, was able to dissect
film and watch in real time what were

182
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:20.120
his strengths, what were his weaknesses. He got the best cage notes he

183
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.240
could have possibly gotten by just sitting
there at cage side and watching these two

184
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:30.159
fight and knowing who your next opponent's
gonna be, and once he defeats Surreal

185
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:37.159
Gone, there's nobody standing in the
way for Tom Aspenall to fight John Jones.

186
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.919
Yes, I know, in November
at Madison Square Garden, We've got

187
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.600
John Jones versus step Amochis for the
heavyweight Championship of the World. I am

188
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.960
standing by this now, as much
as it pains me to say this,

189
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:56.559
I do not believe that deep Amochich
has a chance. He's been gone too

190
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:03.159
long. Cage rust is a real
thing. You can only spar so much

191
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.600
and spend so much time away to
where you are not susceptible to the thing.

192
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.440
John Jones did not have any cage. Russ whatsoever, came in and

193
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:18.519
just cut through Surreal Gone like melted
butter, like a hot knife going straight

194
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:23.639
through Gone. I do not believe
that steep A is going to beat John

195
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:32.080
Jones, but I believe now if
Tom Aspinall faces Surreal Gone and plows through

196
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:37.919
him, there is nobody standing in
the way for the heavyweight championship other than

197
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:45.559
the current day title holder, which
is John Jones. Tom Aspinall can defeat

198
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:52.639
who has been the self proclaimed goat. I stand by that. I tell

199
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:59.720
you two athletes can say that they
came back after a long hiatus and won

200
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.200
the belt back in desirable fashion.
Those two men are George Saint Pierre,

201
00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:07.680
who returns in December to do a
grappling event through UFC Fight Pass, and

202
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.680
the other one would be John Jones. Nobody else has done that to claim

203
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:18.319
goat status in many ways belongs to
one of those two. But we've got

204
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:26.160
a younger, faster, harder hitting
promising prospect, not in Steve Abio Chic,

205
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:33.119
but in the UK's Tom Aspinall.
Be watching for that blockhead nation.

206
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.680
I stand by that. That's why
Gone and Spivak mattered, because Tom Aspinall

207
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.680
is watching his next opponent. This
is what mattered. And now as we

208
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:47.839
continue, we've got a new middleweight
champion of the world. I gotta give

209
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:53.559
him some applause. Sean Strickland pulls
off. I wouldn't call it an upset,

210
00:17:53.599 --> 00:18:00.720
but the underdog got his day.
This is becoming quickly an era where

211
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.279
you can't count out the underdog.
I mean, how many have happened.

212
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.799
As a recent tonight, we have
the rematch of Alexa Grosso versus Valentina Chifchenko

213
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:15.400
Grosso defeating the bullet was a big
deal. Now I got the rematch tonight,

214
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:23.359
Leon Edwards delivering that head kick to
kamadel Uzman. The underdog had his

215
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:32.279
day, Sean Strickland winning and defeating
Israel Atisania, who we were trying to

216
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:37.200
figure out if he was going to
replace Anderson Silva in the middleweight goat category.

217
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:44.920
And Sean's the champion now, so
you can't count out the underdog anymore.

218
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.559
But this solidifies what I've been trying
to say for a while, and

219
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.559
to put it into basketball terms to
help you. Israel Atisania is the Kobe

220
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.400
Bryant of middleweights. I'm not trying
to be disrespectful with this, but Anderson

221
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:02.240
Silvo will always be the Michael Jordan
of the middleweights. In the UFC.

222
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:08.400
You have your goats, and your
goat is Anderson Silva for the middleweight division.

223
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.920
Israel Odissania didn't hold it near as
long for the streak that Anderson had,

224
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:21.079
doesn't have the notoriety and the public
opinion that Anderson had not even close.

225
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.119
Did Izzy beat a past his prime
Anderson, Yes, he did,

226
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.559
you know, so did Daniel Cormier, who is a guy in a way.

227
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.720
That's a good segue. So I
had to mention that this might be

228
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.839
a time where you don't count out
the underdog anymore. So that Israel is

229
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:44.160
out of the question. We're talking
about Daniel Cormier, and I'm gonna mention

230
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.359
him as a commentary guys. I
will always believe Daniel Cormier as one of

231
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.680
the greatest fighters of our generation.
I think he's an awesome coach, and

232
00:19:53.200 --> 00:20:00.079
I will tell you I can't stand
listening to him when it comes to commentary.

233
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.640
I always feel confused. I feel
like Daniel Cormier can do a post

234
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.799
analysis of a fight better than he
can in real time because there's so much

235
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:12.160
analysis that I can't follow. But
for the first time in a while,

236
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:18.119
I agree with something Daniel Cormier said. I can't believe I'm saying that,

237
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.599
but I am wifeb agrees with DC. But now, what do you do

238
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:27.319
now that Sean Strickland is a champion? Do you do an automatic rematch with

239
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:33.519
Izzie? I don't believe that the
market for the UFC is calling for that.

240
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.559
Dana White may see some credibility and
running that one back, but let

241
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:44.559
me throw this out there. Izzie's
got some unfinished business he can solve with

242
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:49.400
the number one rank can tender known
as Duplessis. So Izzie versus Duplessis is

243
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:56.880
a much more enthralling and entertaining and
intriguing fight than a rematch with Strickland versus

244
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.319
Izzie. I think we need to
see that one, don't you? At

245
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.960
Nation, Duplessis versus Izzy is the
one that makes sense. Meanwhile, what

246
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:10.000
do we do with Sean Strickland,
Well, that's simple, we know how

247
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.440
he did with Israel Adisania? What
about the other middleweight is continued to have

248
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.039
nobody stand in his way except for
Israel. Now that Israel is bumped out

249
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:25.400
of the way, incomes Bobby Knuckles, Robert Whittaker. You tell me,

250
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.440
and I'd love to own the comments. Send me something back. Which one

251
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:33.319
would you rather see? An immediate
rematch for Israel Odissania and Sean Strickland or

252
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:40.799
a title match between Sean Strickland and
the beloved Australian Robert Whittaker. Do you

253
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.559
want to see Izzie and Duplessis squash
this beef that they have that's already been

254
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:52.000
building. There's more narrative in that
one blockhead Nation so I stand by that,

255
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.599
and that's my catching you up as
we get into tonight's main event,

256
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:03.880
which will be again the underdog has
to go defend her title against There was

257
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.119
no build up with anybody else except
for Valente at Chef Janco. So we've

258
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:14.279
got the Bullet versus Grosso two exciting
stuff. Comin event looks promising. Kevin

259
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:18.359
Holland versus Jack Della. I'm all
for that comin event, exciting stuff,

260
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.960
and we're gonna continue rolling through until
we finally get to Fight Island and Nabu

261
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.599
Dhabi, and I promise Blockhead Nation. I'll keep you updated as you come

262
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:32.559
back to these episodes. Even though
they're not numbered, they're still loaded with

263
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:36.839
some entertainment. I'm here to entertain, educate, and edify Post three hundred.

264
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:38.759
Thank you so much for tuning in. Keep listening to the guys in

265
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:41.880
