YFB MMA Takedown: UFC 300

WEBVTT

1
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:20.239
Well, blockhead nation. Here we
are UFC three oh oh, the biggest

2
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:25.719
card of the entire year, and
I appreciate that you're taking a few minutes

3
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:30.839
to come by and listen in as
YFB goes through a quick I guess you

4
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:35.920
could say a paralysis by analysis,
because I'm telling you there is a dichotomy

5
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:41.159
that is happening with the sport.
And it made me think of a song

6
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.200
by Lincoln Park. Now, I'm
sure there's a lot of songs you're thinking

7
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.799
of they're going straight through your head, but I'm talking about an original one

8
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.640
from two thousand. It's one of
those less notes. The song is called

9
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:56.079
Forgotten. If you remember the lyrics
in that song, it says, from

10
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.320
the top to the bottom, bottom
to top. I stop. That's what

11
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:07.280
we're looking at here is because throughout
UFC three hundred, from the bottom to

12
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.439
the top, or if you're talking
top to the bottom, we are looking

13
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:17.120
at in so many ways in embodiment
of the new blood versus the old Blood.

14
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.560
And I can already tell you that
right off the bat, with the

15
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:26.120
very first bout that starts the evening. Again, if you're not a huge

16
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.359
UFC fan, my hope is I
can talk you into the building tonight because

17
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.079
this event itself. When we say
the word stacked, that's just an understatement.

18
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.920
If you are a diehard fan of
the last five plus years, if

19
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:45.200
you were walking and expecting superstardom,
you can see the stars aligning tonight for

20
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.400
so many of these guys. And
to begin with, the first one that's

21
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.000
opening the curtain is a bantamweight bout
between a guy who could have been the

22
00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.640
flyweight goat of the UFC, who's
moved up comfortably into a bantamweight and he's

23
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.879
facing one of the best strikers in
all of the bantamweight division. Now,

24
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.759
if you're looking for star power,
there's really two of them I can say

25
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.599
in the bantamweight division of the UFC
that do have star power. One of

26
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:21.400
them is the champ. One of
them is for sure Sean O'Malley. The

27
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:27.840
other one is no Love Cody Garbrandt, and he's opening the fights tonight.

28
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.960
You got Davison Figuredo, who's moved
up to bantamweight, who looks extremely comfortable

29
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.879
as a bantamweight fighter, versus one
of the best strikers and one of the

30
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:45.159
best known stars of that division.
And that's the opening bout do you see

31
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:51.240
from bottom to the top, there's
a glaring contrast between what used to be

32
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.800
and what's probably going to be.
That's the dichotomy that I'm talking about.

33
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.680
So Figuranta versus Garbrand is gonna start
us off as start off off right,

34
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.039
Not to mention, we had another
bomb dropped us at the press conference.

35
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.759
Dana White was put on the spot
and said, what are you gonna do

36
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:14.120
for these bonuses? And the numbers
started being pitched around by everybody on the

37
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.240
mic. Three hundred, three hundred
and three hundred. Well, it looks

38
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:23.479
like now the bonus is gonna be
three hundred thousand dollars to the Fire of

39
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.080
the Night and Performance of the Night, probably both of them. So Dana's

40
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.759
gonna have to reach deep into his
pocket if you have to see three hundred.

41
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:35.919
But what that also means is the
stakes are now higher. That means

42
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.360
the bar is up here from where
it originally was. You want to get

43
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.240
the Fight Night bonus, you've gotta
earn it in the midst of all of

44
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.400
these powerhouses, in the midst of
all these guys who have been marinated in

45
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.439
the sport for a long time.
And that just begins with the first match.

46
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.080
If we move into Bobby Green,
who's been on a tear throughout the

47
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.120
lightweight division as of late, which
was stopped short by a guy who is

48
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.560
higher up on the card. We'll
get to that in a minute. But

49
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:11.719
Bobby Green versus Jim freaking Miller,
who that's Bruce Buffer wants him to use

50
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.240
the F word when he pronounces him
tonight, I'm pretty sure we can keep

51
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.279
that one at Bay as professional as
Bruce Buffer will be. But who's to

52
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.879
say. Who knows. I'm pretty
sure that Nate Diaz is his favorite fighter

53
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.079
of all time, but he loves
to announce, but time will tell.

54
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:33.199
Jim Miller, who has the record
to absolutely rival all records all for the

55
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:40.399
UFC. So the veteran versus the
new breed, Bobby Green very much has

56
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.920
his hands full his face in the
veteran. But Bobby Green is just going

57
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.199
to be my pick tonight. If
I had to go with anybody, if

58
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:54.120
we're looking at the girls, you
got Andras versus Marina Rodriguez Women's strawweight bout,

59
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.879
Okay, I'm going with experience.
I'm going with the Brazilian nothing against

60
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.680
Marina Rodriguez I just believe even you
look at the betting favorites, the odds

61
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:09.839
are still a little bit and Andrage's
favor especially when it comes to wrestling,

62
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:14.639
it comes to strength. If she
does her infamous ground and pound, Marina

63
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.120
is gonna have a hard time covering
up on that one. Now, get

64
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:23.199
into the early prelamps. This is
one of those dark horses that could easily

65
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:30.800
be their performance of the night.
Jalen Turner versus Renato Micano. Money Micano

66
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.279
is not only a submission artist.
We found that out in his last fight

67
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:41.360
that he is very comfortable in any
arena. But you got the guy who

68
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.759
did slow down the rocket ride.
That was Bobby Green. You got Jalen

69
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.160
Turner. If you're going by tailor
of the tape, then Jalen Turner does

70
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.839
have the recent reach advantage when it
comes to range. That's gonna be a

71
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:59.120
hard night out for Nato Micano.
But as you know, Money Wakano has

72
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.920
a way of finding a way through. You got an amazing fight here that

73
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:08.959
will top off the early prelamps.
To get into the prelambs, I have

74
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:14.120
to go straight to one. There
are two curses you have to pay attention

75
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.959
to in mma. One of them
is the Drake curse. We'll get to

76
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.920
that in just a minute. Who
he drops six hundred and seventy five k

77
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.160
on. We'll get to that.
But there's another curse. The curse happens

78
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:30.040
to be chaill Sonning. Jail has
put in a curse on Holly Holme.

79
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.839
But in many ways, if you're
looking at a historical trajectory, rightfully so,

80
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.680
because if we look at the women's
bantamweight division, she's ranked number five,

81
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.040
and if you count her out before, we did that when she faced

82
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:53.079
Ronda Rowsey, but that was ten
years ago. If you look at the

83
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:57.480
prospect that's come from the PFL,
who's come forward on the mic and already

84
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.199
said the queen has now showed up. She is a shark that's swimming in

85
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:06.600
blood infested waters, licking her chops. That's Kayla Harrison. So if we're

86
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:11.600
gonna go to strength, we're gonna
go to wrestling. It depends on how

87
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.000
good the takedown defense for Holly Holm
is going to be. But the Chail

88
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.199
curse is in. He's chosen Holly
Holme. But in the past it is

89
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:25.560
something you don't do. If there
was a time that we would say,

90
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.560
you probably don't want to put all
your chips in on Holly Holm tonight because

91
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.279
of who she's facing from the PFL, who is coming in ready to slam

92
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:38.759
her on the canvas tonight. Take
her, as they say to the mattresses,

93
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.680
which would be Kayla Harrison. So
I think you kind of know what

94
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.759
way I'm favoring at this point.
We'll see how this transpires as we get

95
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.639
to a featherweight bout, former champion
versus a guy who's becoming kind of the

96
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:56.240
gatekeeper, but he's falling to the
number eight rankings, which is Calvin Cater.

97
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:01.120
Okay, I'm a huge Cater fan. I'm not exactly a fan of

98
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.279
Al Jamaine Sterling, but I can't
look the past the fact that he's not

99
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.759
only a former champion, he's only
fallen short to Shalin O'Malley as of recently.

100
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.639
It's a guy who, very similar
to Josh Koshchek, was a human

101
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.360
blanket who can wrestle and keep you
in your position. If he's got you

102
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.600
up against the fence, there's not
a whole lot you're gonna be able to

103
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:26.160
do. So I'm gonna have to
go ahead and go with Al Jamain moving

104
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:33.799
into a very promising closing prelam fight
former light heavyweight champion of the world Yeri

105
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:39.960
pro Hoska versus the number five ranked
Alexander Rachik, so the Sixtien versus the

106
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:46.799
Serbian again possible bloodbath with that one
possible in the lightweight division, Raychik has

107
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.559
more to gain at this point against
a former champion. But if you look

108
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:58.919
at how almost Anderson Silva esque that
Yeri is a guy who had an j

109
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.480
and relinquish the belt, a guy
who does take the sport and only that

110
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:09.720
seriously, but a guy who is
still marinating. I'm gonna have to go

111
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.120
with Yuri on this one, but
the odds are really close on both of

112
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.720
these. It seems like there's recency
bias running a mug between ray Chick and

113
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.200
pro Hosca, But it'd be nice
to see the way it happened to be

114
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:28.080
a pro Hosca fan as well getting
onto the prelimbs. This has happened before

115
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:35.080
too, when you get behind a
hype train like somebody like bow Nickel,

116
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.360
who I'm a huge fan of,
by the way, who I do believe

117
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.840
has star power written all over him, who there's been shuffling inside of the

118
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:52.240
main card with this guy. Sometimes
you don't count out the underdog. You

119
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.600
have to be careful with that.
So when we take talk about Bo Nickel

120
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:05.879
versus Cody Brundage, he does have
a five to three track record, and

121
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.679
if we just were to go back
at his fight history for a second,

122
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.080
it's very promising. You have one
by DQ, you have one by Ko

123
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.759
in the first round, you have
one where it was a unanimous decision,

124
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:24.320
so he's gone three rounds. In
many cases, Brundage could be the one,

125
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.200
kind of like when we saw Aaron
Pico back in the days of Bellator,

126
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.360
they all got behind this rocket ship
of this young, good looking,

127
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:37.919
very good wrestler and the veteran fighter
defeats him. So if we're looking at

128
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:45.440
the odds they're completely against Cody Brundage, it might be something to consider.

129
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.039
Even though there is such thing as
a wif Be curse, if you're a

130
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.159
fan of star power, there's no
better way to open the card than there

131
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.120
is to have Bo Nickel, the
guy from the Dana White Contender series that

132
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:01.000
has continued to plow through the division
and show that he's going to be a

133
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.519
mainstay for a while, but this
could be one where the star para kind

134
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:13.480
of diminishes. It won't diminish when
you see what happens between the lightweight bouts

135
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:20.600
of number one ranked Charles Olivera versus
the number four ranked ar Montserukion. Now,

136
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:26.519
if I can walk you through the
story for a second, our Montserukion

137
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:33.159
and Islam Makachev, current lightweight champion, they danced before in twenty nineteen.

138
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:43.879
It's a win that Olivera is standing
between. It's a fight that our Montserukion

139
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.360
wants to get back in every way. So we got the Armenian versus the

140
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.399
Brazilian. You've got the former champion
who has missed weight a few times,

141
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.279
who has had health conditions that had
the belt relinquished. When a lot of

142
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.440
our fight fans who get salty about
that, But again, the guy who

143
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:05.120
has gone against all odds since twenty
seventeen hasn't been in a non title fight

144
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.919
since then. He's either fighting for
the title or he's defending his title.

145
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:18.200
So I can understand how the rankings
and even the betting averages have swayed back

146
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.879
and forth like a teeter totter on
this one. But if we go to

147
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:26.960
Serukion for a second, as hungry
as he is, as how willing he

148
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.320
is to plow through the entire lightweight
division to show that he's the most dangerous

149
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:37.360
man alive, that's going to be
Armand Serukian tonight. If there's anybody else

150
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:45.039
besides Kayla Harrison who's licking their chops, it's Arman Serukian. The fans fight

151
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:52.799
of the night clearly goes to Gaichie
versus Holloway. Now the current day BMF,

152
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.440
the guy who gave one of the
greatest fights ever in the history of

153
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.679
Madison Square Garden against my Michael Chandler, the guy who defeated the beloved Dustin

154
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:09.559
Poorier, which Poorier was winning the
first round and finds that opening throws that

155
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:16.679
perfect leg kick. This is the
first guy to defend this brainchild of Nate

156
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.240
Diaz. Nate Diaz is the guy
who came up with the idea of a

157
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:26.720
BMF strap. Then Daniel White accommodated
him with one. You have the fight

158
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.399
between Jorge Moswell and Nate Diaz.
The rock walks out holding this title in

159
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.600
his hands. We have a doctor
stoppage, which is why Jorge got in

160
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:41.399
the first place. Then you have
Porier, the guy who's defeated Connor,

161
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:48.360
defeated Michael Chandler, defeated the best
of the best, and gets a shot

162
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.879
against Justin Gaegee, the number one
and number two right, and loses to

163
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.440
Gaechee in the second round. If
you do have Max Holloway, who comes

164
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.759
in and wins this fight tonight,
beloved as he is, what you do

165
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.240
have is a fresh code of paint
in the lightweight division, because if you

166
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.440
have the BMF belt, Islam has
already said that this belt is worthless,

167
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.000
not for the sake of pay per
viewpoints, not for the sake of a

168
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:26.159
guaranteed number one contendership out So the
toss up now is who's gonna be the

169
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:33.120
guy that gets the number one spot. If Oliver Era beats Seruki on tonight,

170
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.600
he's defended his number one contendership.
If Gaetchee or Holloway win tonight,

171
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:45.559
they've defended the number two ranking for
the lightweights. So now it comes down

172
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:50.519
to who is Islam gonna face.
If Islam is gonna face Seruki on next

173
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:56.240
that's the rematch he's wanted. Who
Serukian's won for the last five years and

174
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:01.320
it finally will come to fruition.
So we've got a huge, huge juggling

175
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.120
match between these two, but so
much star power that I can't pick a

176
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.559
favorite between Geechee and Holloway as of
right now. I can't go against a

177
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.840
guy who is as dominant as gae
Chee or a guy's beloved as Holloway.

178
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.519
And both of them are gonna throw
hands, and both of them know what

179
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.159
it means to go five rounds.
Both of them know how to get either

180
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:28.480
a submission or a beat him on
the feet in the first second or first

181
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.120
round. I can't draw a line
in sand on this one, blockhead Nation,

182
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.799
and I'm not going to, but
I can draw a little bit more

183
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.240
of a decisive one. This can
be what's called the wife beat curse.

184
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:45.759
I'm putting the curse on the champion. I'm putting the curse on the women's

185
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:52.480
strawweight title. About champion Zangwile coach
has already said that the Dragon has come

186
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.840
back and looks better than she ever
has, so her own Yon Zayong is

187
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:02.720
gonna have a hard night out against
the chick champion. But if you're going

188
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:07.960
off the press conference and the way
Ends, she's ready for battle. So

189
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.679
we have the jail curse on Holly
Holm, you have the wife be curse

190
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:17.559
on zang Wail, which is the
Koman, and again all of these are

191
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:23.279
fighting for that three hundred thousand dollars
perse that is tonight. Now, even

192
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.960
with all that, as I've said, from the top to the bottom,

193
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.279
that's how stacked this card is.
If we just take a few minutes to

194
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:41.919
look at the light heavyweight bout Alex
Porea versus the guy who never lost his

195
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:48.360
title in the first place, Jamal
Hill, here's another dichotomy that we have

196
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:53.759
to dissect just for a little bit. It's clear if you go to the

197
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:59.600
Way Ends and you look at the
stairdowns on who the fan favorite is,

198
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.920
you've also got another problem. It's
something a lot more decisive, called the

199
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.559
Drake curse. I don't try to
cash in on those. Quite often say

200
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.000
well, if this guy picks this
guy, you better go the opposite way.

201
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.960
But as far as the track record, it's not good. Drake just

202
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:27.559
dropped six hundred and seventy five k
on Alex Perea to win tonight. That

203
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.640
shows me what a short term memory
that he's got. When it comes to

204
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.480
this sport. It's not that he's
just counting out Jamal Hill. It's there's

205
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:42.279
a few people in this world that
do know who he is. And the

206
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:45.880
ones who know who Jamal Hill is
are the ones that matter. I'll give

207
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:52.119
you a few names that know who
he is. Jimmy Crute, who fell

208
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:59.400
prey to his knees inside of the
clinch. That's happened many times since he

209
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.640
was on Daniel White's Contender series.
A guy by the name of Johnny Walker

210
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:11.240
knows who Jamal Hill is, one
of the most amazing knockouts from twenty twenty

211
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:18.559
two that I remember seeing. Another
guy named Tiago Santos knows who Jamal Hill

212
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:26.599
is, again from strikes. So
I'm gonna remind you now when it comes

213
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.880
to Jamal and Hill versus Alex Perea, the star power, the stars aligning

214
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:37.839
what seemed to be for alex Perea
until I got the news about the Drake

215
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:44.880
curse. Please don't overlook that a
guy who never lost his titles coming back

216
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:51.160
to claim what he is gonna call
undisputed. At this point, that's what

217
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:56.079
we have to pay attention to.
And sometimes this is what you call paralysis

218
00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.319
by analysis. There's somebody listening to
this podcast right now who can come in

219
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:06.359
and do a blind analysis and pick
their fighters and maybe have a better track

220
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.240
record than I do. Mine is
usually three for five. I get three

221
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:12.599
out of five right throughout the entire
night. So I guess I'll go in

222
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.279
and put them out and we'll see
how well my percentages are. So,

223
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.240
if I was gonna have to pick, if you're gonna put a figurative gun

224
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.920
to Wyfebat's head and I had to
pick somebody, well, the first fight,

225
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.720
I'm have to go with Figuredo.
I can't wait for this fight.

226
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:33.240
It's an opener to rival all openers, old blood versus new blood. I'm

227
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.279
going with Bobby Green, but I
don't want to see this be Jim Miller's

228
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.599
last bout. People are already speculating
who's gonna take their gloves off in the

229
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.799
cage, and I hopefully nobody.
If you're gonna pick between the straweight bout,

230
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.880
I'm going to go with Andrage against
Moreno Rodriguez. I'm going with Jalen

231
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:55.519
Turner against Ronando Micano. I'm going
with Diego Lopez. As the featherweights,

232
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:59.519
I'm going with Kayla Harrison. It's
not that I want to go against Tolly

233
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.519
Holm. I can't overlook the chail
curse. I'm a huge Calvin Cator fan.

234
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.039
But if I'm gonna go with my
head and not my gut, I'm

235
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.680
going with al Jermaine Sterling, former
champion again. The same thing with Yarie

236
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.440
former champion versus Raychik. All these
guys are fighting for that purse tonight.

237
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.559
They're getting their big moment UFC three
hundred and I can't wait. Bo Nickel

238
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.720
is the one that so many are
getting behind, and sometimes you gotta go

239
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:27.039
with the upset. This is where
I'm going. With the upset, I'm

240
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:32.279
going with Cody. If I'm gonna
go with somebody who I believe wants his

241
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:37.000
rematch against the former champion, I'm
going with Serukion. I don't want to

242
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.960
count out Olivera right away, but
I do think it comes down to this

243
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:47.440
new blood dichotomy, Gay Chie versus
Holloway. I'm not picking anybody. It's

244
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.000
a win for all fans. This
is possibly fight of the night, when

245
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:59.400
in reality the Chap Zingwele is getting
the wife be curse tonight against Young Zeng,

246
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.480
two Chinese Warriors are going to go
out in the co main event.

247
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.799
I'm not forgetting who Jamal Hill is, but I also realize that Alex Perea

248
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:14.799
is the beloved champ, the one
who is the most accomplished as of twenty

249
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.599
twenty three, certainly Fighter of the
Year and many more of those possibly to

250
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:23.319
come. A guy of very few
words. If Jamal doesn't have his emotions

251
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:29.720
in check, then sure those huge
hands of Alex Perea could be a problem.

252
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.279
But if I had to pick one, I'm going with the guy.

253
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.119
When you're told to look this direction, the magician's handstone, you look here

254
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:42.960
when something's happening with the other hand, And I just believe that something will

255
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:49.480
emerge tonight with Jamal Hill, who's
happy to be back, who has shown

256
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:53.359
us why he will be the former
champion, coming back to claim what he

257
00:21:53.440 --> 00:22:00.440
believes is rightfully his from a basketball
background with an MMA IQ that is really

258
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.000
hard to rival. So I guess
you could say the wife Bee Chris has

259
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:10.039
gone to Jamal Hill, Hasn't it
make your own decisions? Tune in to

260
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:15.160
UFC three hundred. I hope that
you will join us on this ride.

261
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.240
There's many more spots on this train, but that means I need to get

262
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:23.000
ready for Figure Out versus Garbrand.
My whole evening is consumed, and I

263
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:29.440

special edition of wyfb's MMA Takedown for UFC
