Speaker 3:I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2:What is up everybody? Welcome to this special bonus episode of Chinggassos combat crew. Here we go. We're your one-stop shop for all your combat news. You know me, I'm your boyfriend. I got the whole crew here tonight for the first parley super show at 2024. Let's go, boys. How hype are you guys?
Speaker 3:for this show. Dude, it is gonna be a Fucking banger of a card. I'm super stoked for it. There's a few fights in here that I'm really, really excited about, especially the main main event, obviously, but yeah, the whole card is gonna be just fireworks.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm talking about how you doing tonight cuz I'm doing just over there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm doing good man. I'm looking forward to these fights. I just I don't think I'm able to catch on. Would be at 80 CC in Long Beach, so that seems like a humble brag over there, motherfucker like oh yeah yeah, I gotta take my Benz to the shop, you know that.
Speaker 3:Motherfucker whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, get out of here, all right. So we're gonna take a look at this card. I'm leading up to this card. I mean, it's a pretty banging card and we lost two big, big potential fights Actually, not big potential, because one of them already got rescheduled. The other one, I don't know, they might be working on in a little bit down the line, but at least we got one of them. The other one, who knows? So we're not really gonna talk about the freedoms, we're gonna just jump Right into the main card and make picks, but I do want to go over the whole entire card. So, boys, let's take a peek at this right here. All right, boys, here we are, let's take a look at the whole entire card. I was just talking about two fights that we missed out on. You'll see them on the stream right now. There's a line crossing out on them as we speak. By the way, thank you for tuning in. Thank you for watching Chinggassos combat crew on YouTube, on IG, on Twitter, on threads on X. That's what's up. All right, two fights we lost Yambola Hovich and Alexander Rackage. I believe that that fights already been rescheduled, right? Ufc 299 or something like that.
Speaker 3:I Think, so Let me look it up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then we lost Dominic Reyes and Carlos Olberg, but that one has not been rescheduled as of late, so I you'll notice on the screen that I only have Two Chinggassos combat crew seal of approvals. Actually it should have been three. I forgot to put one on the main event, obviously but, on the pre limbs. We got two Bangers that you're gonna want to take a peek at. Charles air Jordan taking on Shawn my arms are too long for my body, what's in? Or Shawn Daywalker what's in? Have you seen that dude's arms?
Speaker 3:dude, it's not just arms leg to everything. You know what he looks like. I'm back back in kindergarten, when you start to start learning how to draw people. Yes and then you would just draw like the big at little ass torso and long ass limbs. That's what he looks like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's gonna be a good fight, that's gonna be a fun fight to watch.
Speaker 2:Man, it's gonna be a fun fight to watch. And then also on the pre limbs, brad Katona and Garrett arm field should be fun while it lasts, and A lot of the internet is buzzing on that fight as far as not really because it's gonna be an awesome matchup, but because they think that that's a cycle. I cannot count how many times in on Reddit Someone said I hit my house on it, bet your house on this bet your house on this is guaranteed. Put the mortgage on it because you're about to make a double payment next month. Don't even trip.
Speaker 3:Don't even trip, fonzo and then Jerry is gonna be fighting a racquet UFC 300.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's right. So they pulled out yawn Completely and they threw in Yuri. That's right, yeah, so it's Yuri and racquet. That'll be a good ass fight, man. So UFC 300 300, sweet sweet. So again looking at the prelims, and that's not even all of the prelims, those are just two car, two fights that are on the prelims. That should be banging. So, gentlemen, are we ready to buckle up and jump in to the main card? Yes, it's freaking through this. Let's go. First card, first fight that is set to open. You have seen 293 and I did put a Chingasso's combat crew seal of approval on this. I actually I think I put them here instead of on that other screen. But the pay-per-view opener, arnold Allen, number four ranked featherweight, taking on number nine mobs var evil off. Rose got tail of the tape up on the screen, both of these fighters coming in at 29 am. It's there that Arnold Allen, five foot seven mobs are coming in, five foot six, obviously 145 each and there's not really too much of a reach advantage. Mozvara coming in with 72 and a half inches of reach, while Arnold Allen is at 70. So two and a half inch reach advantage there. Boys, you ready to go over their records. I think we're gonna start by looking at el senior Arnoldo Allen. So Arnold Allen last fought last year in April, taking on max, the buzz killer Holloway lost by unanimous decision. Some people said he was doing pretty good. I thought he did. Okay, he didn't get slaughtered. You know, I don't think I don't think Max was coaching him up in there, anything like he usually does, but he did. He did okay. He didn't. There's no way he won that fight, but he survived. But before that, I mean, look, I Don't think this isn't his entire career in the UFC, but on the screen right now, I have going all the way back to June of 2015 and he's got nothing but dubs guys. Nothing but dubs and if you check out his resume, what wins stands out the most to you? Guys say that again.
Speaker 3:I see he's got a pretty, pretty high caliber of opponents man. You got Dan Hooker, calvin Cater, gilbert Melendez, you know all those guys man.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, and Gilbert Melendez, 2019. So he was catching Gilbert right at the end, but Gilbert is always an M effort. You know what I'm saying and the names that you just spoke of Fonzo, calvin Cater, calvin Cater. Yeah, bro, bonzo, let everybody watching and listening are actually listening, because they can't see the screen for us. But how did, how did Arnold Allen take those two guys out?
Speaker 3:dude, they're TKO's. Calvin Cater, by me, suffered a knee injury, but that was leg kicks and shit we fucked them up with. And then punches and elbows for Dan Hooker. Dude, that's not. That's not a fucking easy thing to do to Dan Hooker.
Speaker 2:No, definitely not man. So he ain't no punk bro. So he would I say. He's ranked number nine right now. Oh, number four, my bad, evil love is number nine. So let's look at evil loves record while we're at it. Evil love on the screen, you guys remember he took on what rising star we talked about him at on the end of the year Award show. Diego Diego Lopez came in last year, had two fights in the UFC and that first fight was against Maas Var, here on the screen, which he did end up winning by unanimous decision, and I would have to say that it was a pretty easy win for him. Right, he skated through pretty easily, didn't have any issues, other than in the second round when Diego almost caught him in the Triangle arm bar thing for a little while. But Diego held his own for a while on the feet on the ground. He, he did okay. But again, like we said, maas Var came in like a bat out of hell and just took over that fight. Before that, I mean, and he's undefeated, bro, he's undefeated. Wind over Diego Lopez, dan Ige, hakeem Diwaru, nick Lentz, mike Grundy and Ricky Barzola and song Wu Choi. I believe that Maas Var is a slight Favorite in this.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he is. He's at negative 175.
Speaker 2:Yeah, minus one, one. Seventy five right now, okay, okay. And then I'm okay, and Arnold Allen is at a what busy plus 150, or Shoot, here we go.
Speaker 3:I had them up plus 145, 145, so he's a slight underdog, very slight.
Speaker 2:All right, all right. So, gentlemen, how do you see this one going down? And this is like one of the fights on the entire card that I am looking forward to the most, besides the main event. You take out the main event, this would be the next fight, but this fight I would want to see for five rounds, because this, yeah this is a tough fight man, for both.
Speaker 3:Yes for both of these guys, arnold and Ellen has has a like a much more impressive resume, I think, with the caliber of people he's fought. But Evil left dude he's, he's hot dude, he's, he's on a streak. So it's hard to tell dude which one this is gonna go. But I'm gonna go ahead and go with the odds makers on this one. I think it's gonna be evil left. I'm saying decision I. They're just so evenly matched. It's kind of it's hard for me to call it one way or another. So I think it's gonna be decision. It might even be split, but I'm going evil left.
Speaker 2:All right, what about you cuz? What you thinking, which way you swinging on this one?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm actually agreeing with the funds for the first time on that one. I think, yeah, I think you know they're pretty evenly matched all together. I know that, like like you said, arnold has a lot more as a good resume, but I Don't know. I'm feeling like this Russian guy is gonna have a little bit extra, especially since all his wins were by you or unanimous decision. He didn't finish anyone. I think the only way that Arnold's gonna win is if he brings in some of those like those. You know, those kicks and stuff like that and you know, maybe works the legs, but I don't know if he's gonna be able to do it. So I'm going for the Russian.
Speaker 2:You're going for the Russian, all right. I would love to see Arnold Allen get this W. I think that he's put in the time. He's got the most impressive resume, but evil off is just so well rounded dude Like.
Speaker 3:I just don't think.
Speaker 2:I think the only way that Arnold can pull, can get a W here is by finishing him early. He's got to get a KO TKO. He's not gonna sub him, he's not gonna out wrestle him, but he cannot strike him. Is that gonna happen? I don't know, cuz the moment evil off, he gets hit with something he doesn't like. Guess where the fight's gonna go? To the right, right to the ground, right into what he's, what he's strongest. That I think that's what's gonna happen for three rounds. I think that every round, arnold's gonna have a tiny, tiny little window, yeah, to take advantage of, and evil off is just gonna close that right away. And every time it's gonna be a scrappy fight. It's probably not gonna be fun to watch. It's gonna be a three round lay and pray, maybe even some ground and pound every now and then. But both of these guys are super tough. I don't see anybody getting finished. But I'm going with the boys on this one. I'm going, actually I'm gonna go unanimous decision on this man. I think evil off is is gonna make a big impression on everybody tomorrow night, or not tomorrow night, on Saturday night, just by the pure dominance that he's gonna put on the his show. I mean just the showing that he's gonna do. I'm thinking you know so it's time to put up. He's getting into the top echelon of the fighters and it's time to. I mean, look at how many decisions he's got on his record, dude, it's time to make a statement and show that you belong in the top five, because that's where. That's where everything he's gonna be headed. You know, sooner hopefully sooner rather than later as far as he's, if he has anything to say about it. But uh, I'm with you guys. Unanimous decision Mars, bar evil off. All right guys. Next fight up on the pay-per-view. Homie of the man fighting on the main event, his homie from another mother, chris Curtis, number 14th ranked midway fighter in the UFC, taking on Canada's own Mark Andre barriolte. Chris Curtis, 36 years old, coming in at five foot eight hundred eighty five pounds, seventy five and a half each. He's coming in with a record of 30 wins, ten losses, one no contest. Mark Andre barriolte, 33 years old, so not that much Younger, a little bit younger, but not much. Six foot one hundred eighty five pounds in a seventy four and a half inch reach. So even though Curtis is shorter, he does have a distinct one and a half inch reach advantage. What is that in millimeter? Sponsor. Don't know, man don't know twenty six point five.
Speaker 3:All right, so on the screen.
Speaker 2:I got Chris Curtis's record. So he had in his last outing he had that no contest with Nasreddin imov on. They had that accidental headbutt, yeah. And then before that, remember he had that unanimous decision lost to Kelvin and I think they also butted heads and he might have gotten like Days from that and after because he was winning that fight for a little bit. Before that he got a KO win over Joaquin Buckley. Before that, a unanimous decision lost to Jack Hermansen and then before that, three fight winning streak with wins over Rodolfo Viera by unanimous decision, tko win over Brandon Allen dude, that win has aged excellent for him and that was just 2021. And then a blond Cisco who just got Merck last week. Last week, phil Haas, ko UFC 268, november 2021. So that is Curtis's record in the UFC. Even though his record is extensive, you can see he's got 41 fights under his belt, so he's definitely got experience. And he's fought tough guys, man, and he's fought some tough guys. He's had some bad luck. You know what I mean, just like the clash of heads, man. Look, bad things happen sometimes. You know what I mean. So maybe it's time for some good things to happen On the screen. Mark Andre Barry off, coming in with two on a two fight winning streak last fought Eric Anders to a unanimous decision win at UFC 289 last June. Before that, a TKO win over Julian Marquez, round two. Before that, a loss to Anthony Hernandez by arm triangle, round three. Before that, a win over Jordan Wright, submission round one. Before that, ko loss to Chidi and Jukkewani, round one. Before that, win over Dolce Lungiambula. Win over Abu Azaytar, no contest Over against Oscar Pechota, and then three losses against Park Junyoung, park Junyoung, christoph Jocko and Andrew Sanchez All right. So, man, mark Andre's resume is not like Not the greatest oh. He's kind of like up and down here. You know what I mean yeah, he's gonna miss. Yeah, man, and no, no big impressive wins. I Mean, what are you gonna hang your hat on? Eric Anders, I the cheating Juquani fight would have been a good one, but he got KO. Anthony Hernandez that might have been an okay win too, but he got arm triangles. So, um, are you guys thinking what I'm thinking? Yeah, you're gonna get smoked. Mark Andre Berry all KO round one you got. I think this is Chris Curtis fight to lose, guys. I mean, I don't think that Chris Curtis has the power to put Andre's lights out, but I think he's got the game plan, I think he's got the cardio, I think he's got the coach, I think he's got the team, he's got the total package. Dude, he should be able to pull out a unanimous decision. Win in this one. That's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm going with. What do you guys think?
Speaker 3:It's a safe bet, man. I think that is a safe bet to make, um, and yeah, I mean, I agree with you. I'm actually going the same way, um. I actually think, though, he uh that um burial can be stopped, um. So I'm thinking, if it is going to be a KO, probably late rounds, late second round, maybe third round, uh, but more likely it's going to be decision.
Speaker 2:Alright. So we got a decision for Curtis by Fonzo, curtis by decision by your boy, frank. Let's go downstairs to cousin. What's what you say, cuz?
Speaker 1:taking three, three to uh charm. Yep, I think that's man.
Speaker 2:Yep, this might be the first time in the history of Ching Asso's combat crew that we've agreed on two fights in a row. Right, yeah, alright, let's keep this. Let's keep this train going. Next fight Now we're at the middle point of the pay-per-view. Does anybody need a bathroom break? Are you good? I'm good, man Kidding, we just started, man, we're going. We're going. Number 13, neil Magney taking on Mike Mallett. Just kidding, it's Mike Malo Welchowitz.
Speaker 1:Neil.
Speaker 2:Magney, 28 and 12, taking on Mike Malo, Ten one and one. Let's take a peek at the tail of the tape Neil Magney, 36 years young, six foot two hundred seventy pounds eighty inch. Reach advantage. Actually, not reach advantage, but eighty inch reach. Mike Malot. Mike Malo, thirty two years old, six foot one hundred and seventy pounds, seventy three inch reach.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a big difference, man, yeah.
Speaker 2:Big difference, not only the reach difference, but look at the experience, bro, like on the screen right now we're looking at Neil Magney's record and I don't think this is this definitely is not his entire fight record.
Speaker 3:No, it goes all the way back to November 2015,.
Speaker 2:bro, sorry to cut you off their funds. What were you going to say?
Speaker 3:I was going to say and look at Nipples, Call it yes that shiny Of course, but other than that, you also want to look at the caliber of fighters that he's been up against. Man, those are some high caliber. Who's?
Speaker 2:the toughest fighter. He's gone up again Two, would you say.
Speaker 3:That's shit, damn, I don't know man. Let me see. You got Michael Kizza, you got Shovcott RDA. I've ever Michael.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, lee Jung Lane, dude. That's a good win, dude, and that's actually a win.
Speaker 3:Kevin Gaschelum is in there, and he won that too.
Speaker 1:Robbie Lawler.
Speaker 3:Yeah, robbie Lawler, those are tough motherfuckers. Yeah, man I mean, and he's lost to the top of the top. You know what I mean. Like losing to give or burns, is that's not a bad thing. You know what I mean. Like losing to Rafael Dreson Just that's dude.
Speaker 2:That's I mean look at his losses. Here's his losses Ian Machado, gilbert Burns Shovcott, michael Kizza Ponsonibio and Lorenz Larkin.
Speaker 3:Yeah, those are.
Speaker 2:I mean, if you're going to lose to people, those aren't bad people to lose to. I mean maybe Lorenz Larkin. But Lorenz Larkin ended up turning into a better fighter once he left the UFC.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:And that was probably his worst loss at a probably probably yeah, because even Michael Kizza is not that bad of a loss, no, you know. So let's take a peek at senior Mike Malo. Mike Malo 10, 1 and 1 and he hasn't been in the UFC very long. He was on Dana White's contender series in October 2021. So he's only had four fights. So he last had a submission win against Adam Fugit back in June 2023. Triangle choked win over Johan Lionessi, february 2023. Tko over Mickey Gaw round one. And then on Dana White's contender series he hit another guillotine against Shemal Smotrinsky.
Speaker 3:So most notable, like when is going to be Mickey Gaw?
Speaker 2:for sure. Mickey Gaw, and he got him out there in the first round, dude, which is fucking impressive. Yes, I would say so. I mean, if you're going to say, if you're going to talk about an impressive win on his resume, that's the one right there for sure.
Speaker 3:Right, this is tough man because you know Magne's been in some more, so that does you know how that affects people. You know what I mean. That affects fighters, you know what I mean. Like having a resume this big is impressive, but it also means that, dude, how much, how much more does he?
Speaker 2:have A lot of wear and tear.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:A lot of wear and tear. How much more can he take?
Speaker 3:Look at that hairline.
Speaker 2:I don't know how much more that can take either.
Speaker 3:I can tell you by experience not much more. Leave me alone, Frank.
Speaker 2:All right, I'll get you a subscription of Hems Hair Regrowth.
Speaker 3:I got you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2:We got you. It's 2024, fonza, you don't have to live your life like that anymore, All right.
Speaker 3:So, all right, here's the here's the deal, though Magne is at a plus 250. So he's an underdog.
Speaker 2:That's pretty good yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, dude, plus 250. Mike Malo or Mallet is as a heavy favorite, minus 310.
Speaker 2:That's crazy, it is crazy for someone with a wreck, with only four wins in the UFC and actually really it's only three, because you don't want to count that contender series as a win. Apparently, the odds makers are counting that I know, but what the shit do they know that we don't?
Speaker 1:Maybe, maybe it's because all of his wins, because of submission or like that TKO. None of them have gone to, have gone to decision. Maybe that's why they're all like round one, round one, round one, then the last one, round two, maybe that's why he does have a loss.
Speaker 2:I don't have that on screen. So somebody beat him.
Speaker 3:So, according according to my bookie, they're saying that Malo is on a six match winning streak. So they're counting his record before the UFC, to, which is why they're giving these odds which you know. I guess makes sense, but not really either. You know what I mean. So I'm going to go ahead and go with the underdog in this fight and go, neil Magne, and I'm going to say what the fuck. I want to say KO round two.
Speaker 2:No way.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Woo, fonzo. I'm ready to take on 10 matches right now. I'm powerful. Let's go Fonzo right now. That's Fonzo. Bro, you are going deep. All right, digging deep. All right, cuz. What's say you on this one? Where would you? Who are you riding with?
Speaker 1:Actually, I think in I'm going to go with the odds, but I'm going to go by submission. I'm going to go by submission.
Speaker 2:You're going a lot, a lot by submission. Yeah.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure Vegas would agree with you. But you know what man, I'm going to go. I'm going to go with experience over on this one, I think that. Magne has enough experience where I mean, yeah, maybe this guy might be able to out point him. I mean Ian Machan, I mean I don't think this guy's at Ian Machan's level, right, I don't think he'll be able to put a whooping on on Magne like Ian did, and so I mean I'm totally doing MMA math here, but I believe that Neil can play spoiler in this one. I think that he's been in this position before and he's not quite at the gatekeeper level. I think he's still like a step above gatekeeper level. Not that he's going to make a run at the title or anything like that, but I don't think he's going to be that guy that the UFC can use to test their younger fighters, because he's just going to keep taking them out, and I think that's what he's going to do here. I don't think I'm not going riding with Fondo on this one with the submission part, but I am riding with him on Neil getting the W here. I'm going Neil Magne split decision on this one and it's going to be tough because it's going to be in Canada bro that's why it's gonna be split or or.
Speaker 3:It's gonna be unanimous for the Canadian even if, even if he loses.
Speaker 2:So because we know what happens sets up better matchups for the UFC they got would give him another rising star on the roster. They could always use another Canadian superstar which he could turn into. You know what I mean? There's always a point in a fighter's career where there's a where you can look at their resume and be like, yeah, it was that one, right there where they got a win against somebody exactly, and it just changed their game and from there they never look back. You know what I mean. There's a point where people were talking about GSP, like they're talking about Mike Malo, like yeah, he's good, he's coming up, but he's not quite there yet, and then he got something and then he just took off, bro that should be.
Speaker 3:That should be an episode fool. We should look into, like some of the top stars, and see what their pivot point was oh, that's a great idea.
Speaker 2:Dude, that's a great idea stay tuned out there, peeps.
Speaker 3:We'll, maybe we're gonna make it episode.
Speaker 2:New episode dropping. That's a bonus episode, bro. Yeah, all right, cold main event dude. I'm pumped. I'm actually a little. The closer we get to this one, I'm actually getting a little bit more pumped, but not for the same reasons that fight fans would be getting for you just excited to look at booties? Make sure always, always for that vonzo, but I'm keeping it pro here and. I didn't say that, so I'm gonna edit that out anyways. Cold main event Raquel number two. The number two ranked band and weights fighter, raquel Rocky Pennington taking on number three ranked fighter myra bueno Silva. For is this for the interim championship, the interim band and weight, or is this for for the band and weight title shit that's oh no, it is dude.
Speaker 3:Look it says on the table now random weight title about.
Speaker 2:So this ain't this for the real deal here. So Rocky Pennington, 35 years old, 5 foot, 6135 pounds, 67 and a half inch reach, might have went of Silva, 32 years old, 5 foot, 5135 pounds, 66 and a half inch reach. Alright, guys, how do you think this is gonna go down and who you picking? Rocky is a slight underdog. These are old odds, but on the screen I got Rocky at plus 140 and might have won Silva at a minus 166. Let's go over both of these ladies records. Rocky Pennington, with the longer resume, dating all the way back to ultimate fighter team Browsy versus team Misha cupcake tape. Remember that, guys? 2013, that was a long time ago, bro. That was when she first came into the UFC. So her last. Let's look at her last few wins, her last few fights. She last beat Caitlin Vieira by split decision back in January of 2023. She beat Aspen Ladd by unanimous decision in April of 2022. Macy Cheson sub December of 2021. Paine Ken Kianzad unanimous decision September 2021. Maryon Ronu unanimous decision, june 2020. And then before that, she took an L by unanimous decision to Holly Holm in January of 2020.
Speaker 3:But the resume keeps going on, and on, and on and if you look just like Neil Magney man, the people she's lost to she's fought everybody dude Holly Holm, amanda Nunez, jessica. How?
Speaker 2:many, how many past chance did she fight dude? Look Jessica Andrage, holly Holm, jessica Andrage again.
Speaker 3:Misha Tate, amanda Nunez, jermaine Durandami, holly Holm, again dude, like champ after champ after champ after champ and, of course, like those are the people that you expect somebody at top echelon to lose to. You know what I mean. Like you're gonna lose to anybody, you're gonna lose to the champ and she has everybody else. She's, she's beat yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I might have won a silver's record here not as doesn't go back as far. She did come through, for she did come to the UFC through Dana White's contender series back in August of 2018. Her last fight she did win. How does she beat Holly Holm originally? You guys remember? Was it a decision or did she murder? I can't remember. I got overturned because she tested positive for Adderall, which is a band substance.
Speaker 3:Adderall is a band substance.
Speaker 2:Yeah, shit by the commission. Yeah, that's weird, but it's like meth, bro Well.
Speaker 3:I guess yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, alright, I mean like some people abuse it, so maybe that's why it's probably on the list.
Speaker 3:Oh they also caught her snorting in the fucking locker room, so no, I'm playing. That didn't happen. That didn't happen. I don't want to get sued. Do you know? The pharmacy Dude I'm talking about your door.
Speaker 1:What are you talking about?
Speaker 2:Alright, let's get back to her record. Before the Holly Home Fight she had one, two, three wins submission by Nebar over Lena Landsberg, submission by Armbar over Stephanie Egger and the unanimous decision win over Wu Yanan. And then she took a loss to Manofio Roe, who's been on a tear lately. So that's not that bad of a loss unanimous decision loss, alright. But yeah, her record is not. Her resume is not as extensive as Rocky Pennington's, but she's got.
Speaker 3:But check this out though fucking my bookies got Myra Buono Silva as a favorite, slight favorite of negative 175 minus 175 and then. Rockhill Pennington as a underdog at plus 145.
Speaker 2:You know, for some reason I was thinking that Rocky was a little bit older than she is on the screen, but she's not 35-32. That's not too much of an age difference, right? But Myra has been on a tear recently. Dude, she is a little bit younger and we talked about this earlier. Wear and tear, she doesn't. She's not going to have the same amount of damage that Rocky has, and I know Rocky's taking some time off not too long ago, you know, maybe to heal up and whatnot, but Myra hasn't had to do that. So she fought two times last year. She fought two times a year before that, two times a year before that, two times before the year before that, and then it looked like she was on a break for two years. So she doesn't have the mileage on her that Rocky does.
Speaker 1:So I think, we also have to think about. You also have taken an account is the all the shit talk she's been. She's been saying so. I know that she's been talking about how much that's motivating her for this fight. So you know I can see that playing a role in it. Who's doing the shit talk? The Brazilian.
Speaker 3:Oh, she's talking shit to Pennington.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she's been doing a lot of talk while I talk and they were interviewing what's her name and they were saying how like, she's like, you know what? I'm not going to even say anything, I'm not even going to talk, I'm just going to show it out there and she's like I'm not even about that. She's like, but she's been talking a lot of shit and I'm basically she's going to go up there and fuck her up.
Speaker 3:So what is your thought?
Speaker 2:Yeah, who are you taking in this who?
Speaker 1:are you?
Speaker 3:taking.
Speaker 1:I'm taking number two. I'm taking number two on this one. What's her name? Pennington. You're taking Rocky Pennington. Yeah, I have her winning this one. I think, she's going to go in her mindset go in there, handle business and get out. You think she's going to finish her.
Speaker 3:You're going to go to the decision.
Speaker 1:I'm going to decision on it. I don't think she's going to just walk right through her, but I think she's going to have enough. She's going to do enough to get the decision win unanimous decision.
Speaker 3:Man, this must be a special day, because I agree with you, ann.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 1:Why are we betting money this time? I know right.
Speaker 2:Do you guys take forever to pick your bets? That's why.
Speaker 3:Talk to that guy man.
Speaker 2:I picked my bets real quick, alright so, anyway, you're both going with Rocky Pennington by decision, then, yeah, alright, I'm going to go the opposite. I'm going Myra, by decision. Yeah, I just think it's her time, dude. I think that Rocky's just, she's been here for too long. I wouldn't imagine. I don't imagine she's going to stick around much longer after this Win or lose. I mean, if she wins, she's going to have to fight one more time. But yeah, I just don't see this man. I think that Myra's going to back up the talk. I think it's her time, dude. I don't think she's going to sub Rocky she could, but I think she's just going to dominate for five rounds and she's going to pull off a unanimous decision, win. And then this is going to set up a killer showdown between her and between her, and well, not just Julie on a pin. Yeah, the lead up to that is going to be off the hook, bro, because they're just going to both be cat colony just talking crazy, crazy shit. I can't wait to see Juliana get into the cage against whoever wins this fight, because it's going to start Saturday night. Just the shit storm. But yeah, man, I think Myra's going to take this one. So we're going. We're splitting up on that one. So let's move on to Main event boys Main event. You know I had to throw Chinggassel Silvon of approval on this one man. So the champ, the middleweight champ of the UFC, sean Strickland, defending his strap for the first time in the UFC, taking on up and coming bus saw man, this dude is just come out of nowhere talking about number two ranked middleweight fighter, drickus Duplestis. Let's take a. Let's take a look at both of these guys records, or the tail of the tape, I'm sorry. Sean Strickland, 28 and 5, 32 years old, 6 foot, 1, 185 pounds, 76 inch reach advantage. Taking a look at this, say. Everything else is virtually identical. Well, they are both light skin it so yeah.
Speaker 3:All right.
Speaker 2:This is a quick stat that I saw, I came across earlier today on the reddit. So on the screen right now we're looking at significant strikes landed per minute and this is a quick stat. I'm going to show you that significant strikes landed per minute. And this is UFC middleweight history, with a minimum of five fights. Guess who's at the top? Boys, drickus.
Speaker 3:So Drickus, that's impressive 6.9 9.5 Significant strikes per minute.
Speaker 2:Underneath that, paulo the eraser, costa 6.49. That one surprising. It's probably from his earlier days, dude, because I mean this is going over their entire history. You know what I mean. So when Paulo first came out, if you think about it, he was. He was doing a lot of the same shit that Drickus is doing, just mowing people down. He had high cardio, high output and he was taking people out.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Right underneath Paulo Costa, sean Strickland 6.08. Underneath that the Robocop, gregg Gregory Rodriguez 5.99. And then another fellow fighter on this card, 5.97 Mark Andre Barry. All so really high. I put high output by both of these guys, if you really think about it.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:All right here on the screen. We got Strickland's record A lot more extensive 28 wins, five losses. So he's got what? 33 fights in total. Last win he's got that unanimous, unanimous decision win over Izzy. Before that he had that TKO win over a Magomedov. Before that he had a unanimous decision win over Nasreddin Imovop, but before that, though, he was coming off back to back losses Split decision to Jared Kananier, and then that KO loss to Alex Pereira.
Speaker 3:Top over and wrong with that one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, definitely not man. And then let's switch over and let's look at DDP's record, dude. And then he's got an impressive record, dude. He's got no fights that have ever gone the distance Actually, I'm sorry, one Out of his 22 wins. There's one person who's made it the entire fight and that was Brad Tavares, and he pretty much beat the breaks off of him for three rounds. Brad was hanging in there, but I don't think there was a round that you could have given to him in that fight.
Speaker 3:It just for that fight. I think it just shows more about fucking Brad Tavares' chin and heart than anything else.
Speaker 2:Too dumb to quit.
Speaker 3:Ha, ha ha.
Speaker 2:Yeah, man, I think you might be right. I mean, dude, and look at his record, dude, he's got he's like good in everything KOs, tko's and hella subs, and if you look at his submissions, they're like power subs, bro, yee-teens, he's got a rear naked and I think he's got a dars somewhere too. Dude, he neck cranked the shit out of Darren Till. Yeah, right, yeah yeah, nasty what do you guys think, man? What do you guys think? Do you think that's trickle in spitter patter Philly shells? Actually, it's not really like Philly shell style defense, right? Because?
Speaker 3:he kind of like he uses a mix of it like he does a Philly shell he's.
Speaker 2:He's pretty defensive dude, like in many aspects, not just Philly shell do you think that he's more like like a defensive fighter, where he's like blocking shots, or he's just intending to like? You know what I mean? Because if someone throws a punch and and some and their opponent gets them off balance, deflects the punch a little bit, like that totally affects the output of that punch. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, and if he does that enough he could leave you, he could make you, he can make you open yourself up to something. That's exactly what he did to Izzy and that's what he did to Izzy in that first round yeah, the only problem is he didn't have a ground game and DDP does.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's that.
Speaker 3:That's gonna be the major factor, I think, in this fight, because Druchus can, because, okay, sean stands too tall whenever he's, whenever he's playing defensive, he's super tall, he's up here, so if he's, if he gets taken down, he can easily fall for that ground and pound, and I think that's gonna be the major factor here. I'm going Druchus round three KO wow, yeah also, druchus is a plus 120 slight underdog.
Speaker 2:I could totally see that going down, bro. I can see this fight playing out one of two ways. This is what's gonna happen either Druchus is gonna get the the TKO round two, early round, early round three, like Fonzo is saying, or Sean's gonna get the unanimous decision win yeah that's exactly. I don't think that Sean is gonna be able to finish Druchus, no matter what, like this. That dude is just a fucking monster dude. I just watched his last fight. I watched his last fight against Robert Whitaker dude and he came in and his back is like a silver back. Bro. He is so big for the division I would imagine he's probably like heavier than some light heavyweights come fight night yeah he's just a big motherfucker, fucking monster and he's a bully dude. Once he gets you on the ground, he's smash, passing. He's fucking throwing your legs over your head. He's freaking, throwing elbows. You dude, if you stand on the feet with him he's gonna clinch and he's gonna throw your ass because he is that powerful. He's got crazy long, blast double legs. I don't think Sean's gonna fall for those, but if Sean gets too close to him he's gonna get thrown. And when he gets thrown I don't know if he's gonna be able to get back up.
Speaker 3:Dude yeah, here's the trickiest part of this fight, man, is they're both so freaking deceptive. Both of them have been have been heavily underestimated, I think, for a lot of their careers and for different reasons. So, man, this is this is. This is why I'm so excited about this fight, just because it's so unknown. We're talking here, we're predicting, but none of this shit will, I mean, is likely to happen.
Speaker 2:Everybody really knows man, anything can happen. We could see the first double KO in the UFC for real for real.
Speaker 3:That could happen here all right, cuz you're up.
Speaker 2:You got the deck. How's this gonna play out?
Speaker 1:man, I don't know, like, I think it's this one right here. You're really gonna we're gonna know, we're gonna learn a lot about Strickland after this fight. We're gonna learn a lot about both of them after this fight. But I think I'm gonna have to go the same way as I did last time. I'm going with Strickland with the win. I don't think he's gonna put him out, but I think he's good. I think because of his game and his heart, his mentality, I think that he's gonna. He's gonna throw him off and I think he's gonna come out with the win.
Speaker 3:He's gonna come out with the decision you think you'll start yelling again like like he did with Izzy?
Speaker 1:yep, no, I think he went to therapy and got that taken care of.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just made it go away. Right now I'm gonna go with you, cuz I think so. One thing that we have not seen is we haven't seen Trinket's in trouble ever. We haven't seen anybody be able to withstand what he brings to the table, you know, I mean he just be except for Darren Till. Darren Till took it for a little while and was even whooping on him, dude, if you guys remember, I think I gave Darren Till round one in that fight before Drick has turned it around in round two and then finished him in round three, and even against Derek Brunson. Derek Brunson, I thought he run round one, but then he turned it around and finished him in round two. It just depends on with, like, when you watch Drick, is his fights like he's so unorthodox, and sometimes he's like he just looks so unconventional the way he fights, the way he wins. He looks like he's gassing out, looks like he's got no more energy left and somehow he's still there but that's exactly what I meant, man.
Speaker 3:That's exactly what I meant that these two guys just are so like you underestimate them.
Speaker 2:For those two reasons you know me for different reasons both those things and has it he on it almost in every single fight gone to that level where he's got almost like on the verge of gassing out. I mean, I don't know, that's what we think we don't know.
Speaker 3:Dude, he looks gas.
Speaker 2:No, he don't know no, he even said, because remember his nose was in like that was his nose and then he got the no surgery against Whitaker and he didn't. He still looked a little tired, but nothing close to anything before that it's like he might have gone
Speaker 1:that's my god. So my dad was high.
Speaker 2:No, he might have gotten that issue resolved him. It might have been the surgery that he needed this entire time, and now he doesn't have that problem. So if he can stay away from emptying his gas tank out, he could probably pull this off.
Speaker 1:He could probably have much of this being his first time to the show like is that gonna play in his you know adrenaline dump? You know he's got a lot right like this could be it. This could be him, you know, gain it the championship. This could be it over right here. I mean, how much of his adrenaline is just gonna dump compared to you know, just a regular. You know one of his regular fights, yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't think he's like because he hasn't had. You can't say that it's an adrenaline dump when he's like just got. I mean, dude, he don't become the ball that's what's happened before.
Speaker 1:I'm seeing how much is that gonna play in this fight.
Speaker 2:He's in Canada, he's in his hometown you know he's not, he's from South Africa, so every time he's fought?
Speaker 3:yeah, not every time he's fought.
Speaker 2:He's never fought in his home crowd since that KSW League or wherever you know I mean. So. He's always fought on foreign soil. He's always gotten booed. I don't think he's gonna get booed in Canada, but I don't think the spotlight is gonna get to him. I think that they're both gonna come in. It's gonna be an even playing field. I think the mind games are out the window. They were, they already have their face off today at the media scrum. You know what I mean. But I think I think the way this should play out if we do MMA math, I just think that Sean's cardio, sean's, sean's defense is gonna be enough to disrupt DDP's game plan and I think he's just gonna pile the points on around up around after round I think those therapy sessions cut into Sean's training. Yeah alright, so there we have it. That was the last fight of the card, gentlemen, anything you want to say before we wrap this up just have fucking great time out there.
Speaker 3:Hope you guys get to catch these fights and we'll recap them to you.
Speaker 1:I'll send you an email to let you know that I won yeah, let me know how those go, man, let me know how they go have fun fake news, fonzo, fake news.
