AI summary AI-generated from the transcript

Energized Show hosts Ross and Russell recap UFC 247, centered on Jon Jones’s unanimous decision over Dominic Reyes and whether he should remain champion. They argue the fight was close rather than a robbery, highlight rounds two and three as the main scoring debate, note respected media scored it for Jones, and cite an audience poll roughly favoring Reyes. They criticize judge Georgia for not watching during a women’s bout, discuss Jones surpassing Georges St-Pierre’s light heavyweight title-defense record, and debate his focus, opponent respect, and next options including a Reyes rematch, Jan Blachowicz or Corey Anderson, Israel Adesanya, Daniel Cormier, or a move to heavyweight. The episode also covers Valentina Shevchenko’s title defense over Caitlin Chookagian, Derrick Lewis’s win, upcoming Corey Anderson versus Jan Blachowicz with the winner in line for Jones, Hector Lombard’s bare-knuckle debut, and Battlezone Dublin card changes after James Gallagher and Peter Queally dropped out, with Leah McCourt elevated to the main event. The hosts heavily promote their first live show at Fight Con in Cork on February 29, Frank Mir’s late addition to that convention, discount code EASY10, and brief boxing praise for Teofimo Lopez.

in there and also Paul Daley like dropped a key for Crosby and knows like alright grounds we never and then I was like Frank we're adding me at the last minute I was like that's like pretty cool yeah I feel like that is a bit of oyster on the cake really yeah well like it was the one person who have like seen fights help me times and I just sort of assumed I wasn't gonna meet nearly as hard no I mean yeah well the thing is if I was looking at it if I was looking at the poster for I was gonna make the poster you can almost have like Frank Mir in the middle on top yeah and then like Wonder Boy on one side but in asking the other side and then doll the sort of Irish fighters around yeah like that that yo mean yeah it is the ocean on the cake greedy for its own real yeah [Music] yeah he does his own show as well is its daughters kicking ass as well these days as well she say she didn't have to wizard at jujitsu I'm just so interested Franklin or how big he is also he like wants be brock lesnar as well it's only a kneebar yeah that was I think that was like on the first UFC is that I like I like a really like stayed up them watched that late you can be also like broke Big Nog harm yeah like he's got some serious wounds on his belt oh no no and this is a real legend like yeah we reduced and yeah fortunately did like having this extra person and at the shows they probably have to read Jake people's times etc so therefore there'll be more opportunities for herself for us to sit down with more athletes yeah hopefully we get one of the guys on the show it'll be actually incredible for us and also you know Frank Mir is like a massive cone knows janila I think he's mad and Gomes yeah but loads people are in America no but like he'll can't see have like knowing weapons on him at all time like goons noise he's like when those like sort of Doomsday Preppers I have a if you actually liked if you don't YouTube when like you talking bread and Chava Frank Mir you'll see it and he goes [ __ ] like all the weapons he has on my one time however he doesn't get like stuff than way over when like all you have seven knives like K someone attacks me that's the sis's like things like you never know what's gonna happen so I was carried out weapons I'm yeah although he's a beast who's gonna really jump him yeah no that's friend Charles are you it was like you're beaten like knowing you know I'm point know I know I know I know no no no no in percent of people in the world the street fight yeah there's like there's less than probably 20 people are gonna be Frank Mir in a street fight in the world I like there he is well the weapons like to some case is he he still go now and Bell tourism these were fighting for the safety point yeah maybe maybe but if he gets the itch he can jump in yeah he loves lost to fade or no I think it was yeah yeah yes oh here make sure the link is in the comments section make sure to check it out if you want to go which couldn't be in Cork it's gonna be pretty annoying a brilliant day you're gonna get to meet all these Lloyd it's gonna get the pictures we'll be there it'd be great to see some of your faces and on the talk and a joist cracks oh yeah you see this can call easy at ten and easy ten yeah easy ten and then a it's gonna be a great occasion so now I think it's the perfect time to move into the world of mixed martial arts and its course this weekend you see 247 John Jones first as Dominic Reyes yeah this was almost like a controversial for you at the weekend weird honest way to understand about boys let's start with the total fight and we'll go further down as you go on I think the only really really two or three fights were gonna actually discourse yeah okay and john jones fought Dominic Reyes John Jones worn by a unanimous decision 48 47 48 47 49 46 I think there was a good few takeaways from this fight and this fight card when it comes to mixed martial arts Georgian and I don't know if you saw or heard earlier on in the fight or in the night and really was fighting you know the K oh boy yeah go girl okay girl my apologies yeah and she was fightin I've had a streamer he's fine but you're old and Thamud for a cruise we're actually calling it when the Georgia been like he's not watching the fight your man over there is Georgia he's not watching the fight yeah I mean would you yeah I think for women's fighting is like even almost more important because Daphne percentile was the women go to the judges more often than men she lost to Lauren Murphy yeah I think of split decision as up yeah so for the Georgia's not to be watching the fight is not really great for her you know I mean do your [ __ ] job yes I paid there to watch the fight so just watch the fights and also this is their their lives that they're they have in their hands like I mean take it away [ __ ] seriously you know yeah Daphne now I watch the John Jones for you right not just move I think it's quite obvious sort of RAM warm winter Reyes ran for five events Jones I think the biggest discrepancy is who he will rant warned round - and who - our people were warned round three yeah that's a great no that's I think that's the general consensus dance rounds two and three are where people thought rares won the fight or where people talk Jones on the fright or one round each yeah exactly always heard watch it and went it was very very tight and Reyes came forward quote law he true a lot of kicks at John Jones everything from Reyes came from the left hand side it was the left stray and the left kick well Jones he actually slipped a lot of punches I think for a lot of people who are watching the fight it's almost like when you're watching Floyd Mayweather at the other person's trauma notes and you're like most video when our rice and then if you actually watch it and like sort of slow motion he doesn't actually land that much yeah I personally thought I probably give the fights John Jones I thought rares Warren so the first minute and a half of both pronouns two and three but I thought Jones I shouldn't last three minute spells rounds so I probably would have scored Roundtree Jones and for Jones and round fellows Jones but if someone's quarter for Reyes I'm ok with that as well yeah you see the thing is when I watched it back cuz the new Raiders will last and so many people were going against Jones I was a great I'm gonna watch it the fight from Dominic raises ankle yeah yeah I mean so people don't get that usually like save someone's fighting you really like them you're gonna watch what they're doing more rather than what the other person's doing it's just win the fight yeah yeah yeah you're looking for the reason to pack your guy and when I watch the back in people like John John like Reyes was robbed I was like oh [ __ ] so then I watch it I actually watched it and I thought raised for the first I thought rares won the second and the third one the third one was the more if you want to take a look Kalani agrees with me and you on that and Brad all Komodo actually said he was he taught that the second round was different but it I think it was obvious Reyes won the first round I think Ray has won the second round and then the third one was a bit of a flip of the coin and I think and then John stepping on the last two rounds I think Reyes sort of did get a bit tired at the end of the third round and then the Georges are probably to come with the champion they're probably looking at like you have to actually beat the champ no no that's not necessarily the rules but that's the way some people want to see it cuz they don't at the they thought John Jones is a serious person in this in this game and he tools bring a lot of revenue in more than older people and they're probably like look he didn't read he get dominated there so I'm gonna go with Jones and that's just the way they are all I taught you talk rate raise one tree to but as Ross said he thinks John Jones one tree two and then like this is same thing when wonder boy fought Woodley and it was were like oh eight awkwardly one Ross talk sorry I thought Thompson won and Utah Woodley want um Woodley want it was one of them things bought like at the end of the day after after the fight when the the the klaxon and Sauron went off Raees look more comfortable Romney air then Jones now neither looked overly confident like John Jones actually got up on top of the cage to try and like show off that he's like Daddy definitely won't boil it wasn't like he wasn't like he wasn't selling well no he wasn't you can see you can tell like you can tell by their faces and I bought a few things need to be addressed number one m-may children is not perfect now nor will it be for a while but I don't think this was the fight where you're like oh my god yeah it was absolutely insane and a few things that people were saying which really sore groans my gears grind away Oh should have been the split decision I don't understand the logic behind people's in it should have been a split decision what would matter if one Jewish quarter Freya's in to escort of Jones Jones still walks away with the belt that doesn't make dominic crew our Dominic raises efforts any better or any worse secondly was the people given out it was 4946 Jones because I just had earlier Brett Okamoto uh Ariel Helwani two of the most respected journalists and mixed martial arts game said Barrett Okamoto said he taught John Jones from the second round and lost turret an arrow warning thought John might wanna turn around or was closed and that you definitely are second so if Braddock Okimoto saying that John John's could've won the second round well there could be feasible that I taught John John's once a crowned I favor one who's saying turn around very close it could've been very feasible that all he talks on counts one of the third round if the general consensus is that John Jones from the fourth of a friend why couldn't I have generally taught at John Jones one hour four rounds now I didn't score the fight that way but you also have to take note that Georgia is no opinion-based ting and when the judges judges it that way exactly for nothing that's a woman in Georgia Georgia yeah and I wasn't like so agree just like I've seen fights between I think was a Ross Pearson Diego Sanchez or Ross Pearson like absolutely murder Diego Sanchez and cuz there you go Sanchez like fan favor I'm like he's really good at blocking punches with his face that people like he blocked those punches up over his face I think he warned ya Larry it's happened or even in Bellator when a Ricky bond a has Auto repeat one Archuleta yeah and it was like well actually wins that's it and like Ricky bound a sorta like wow well that we actually put a poll out today just to see who people thought actually deserves to win and it was a 44% for Jones and 56% Perez so that means people swimming me Ross well typical typical you tell me well I also think close John Jones are so good that want any ports or behalf these fight against them like people even more trying to score his favorite if you go back to UFC 156 course some versed Jones how many people charge headed that Alexander ghosts and won that fight yeah do you think it's cause John Jones isn't the most liked figure in the mixed martial arts game that maybe they were like oh and Randy you lost I think a lot of people are like oh I'm from Toulouse you know I mean I think it's like anything you'd like to see that greatness be challenged yeah like as you said earlier the Floyd Mayweather of the UFC mmm-hmm so what up John Jones wins the belt he stopped his beatin George st. Pierre is record of Defense's of a total and well what do you think of now Ross because also I want to say that like are you totally under underestimated Rhea's I'm pretty sure John Jones did too we're just week we were saying that like John Jones who can beat him John Jones was eating sort of crappy food during the week as well he he's not eating as clean as he should do anyway that's just one thing that's just blatantly obvious and he's he's not taking these opponents seriously is the most we said earlier that I think once he defend the toil over ten times now I wouldn't know personally I feel like you're sort of like he gon cruise control and you're like a Joe on the greatest no one's definitely a Nero complacency when you're just that used to winning and as you can see when I got to the fourth fifth round John Jones had the ability to dig deep and get the job done yeah and what would you do now if you're in you're in what part of town John's team because we said last week we wants him to move up to heavyweight he said in the build-up to the Floyd as well when he was on stage at the athletes and the he was there on stage a Presta forever to me part the media yeah he's doing a media stuff you saying that if the fans want him to move up to heavyweight you should but the thing is just where's he go now like do you want to see you rematch do you want to see him move up to John Jose show John John's move up because now we said a record already with its most mental defenses of a soil does he need to be challenged and be like right now the [ __ ] has gone or needs go in here and like really focus you know because that's what we're saying now baby he doesn't come across as he has a hundred percent focus and therefore he could be lacks today is got and then lose maybe against young black [ __ ] or a Corey Anderson that are fought in this weekend do it the way I look at it is Yahoo almost has five options em fronting and he could pick whichever one you wanted and he probably get away with the obvious one is the rematch against Dominic Reyes and I think it's rare to see someone lose the total for you and get immediate rematch yeah well the point was good as well Ono was yeah um I suppose Shogun got one against Machida I think also he could easily for the winner of next or this weekend's for you yeah I'm black watch first Corey Anderson I don't think anyone's clamoring see that I don't think John Jones we have to get himself any more of that one then he was up for this one Israel out of Sonya's always an option he do a super for you against him if he if he can beat Yoel Romero another option could be to move up and fight UFC heavyweight in steep a Miocic no would annoy John Jones ah or he could fight Daniel Cormier not for you I feel like it's always there it's been like who's Conor McGregor gonna point next until he does the 90s trilogy da Foley is always gonna be there yeah there are sort of his options and he can do anything you could also just move up heavy weight and just fight it another heavy weight to test themselves yeah so what sort of somewhat yeah but people cheering in out here well we have to say I didn't go fight on McRae is inori match I think like that's the best business move for Tom Jones after watch them fight there don't think like heavyweights exactly and he liked his best move over tomorrow well I think he I think he should probably move up just because I know you don't think I can help poor I think for if I was him I want to go up and I'm good calm hungry again and know that it's not gonna home 2% be in my way you mean I'm putting bigger people that's what I just think because it was like to see him for every week maybe someone like Alistair Overeem like work yeah he's a legend in the game well like he almost needs to fight for a toilet straight away so me out yeah because he's you know oh you actually sort of favor him against me Oh judge mutator yeah but I almost don't favor him against someone like an garni yeah nobody just like scary yeah I'm like oh also you look at like John John against Eric Lee was almost like almost famous favourite Derek Lee was because Derek loses is afraid of apps he Norton that John John has and he just wants to land that paper on channel yeah but like in Derrick Lewis didn't get any fans over the weekend as well he defeated either the TV participation and this wasn't great to watch for a source of fairness yeah Derek Lee was a stat the media day hey were you gonna win I Derek Lee was you know him he's a funny man he goes I'm gonna win by controversial decision and I see him doing all the flooring is he looked a bit like the voice itself wasn't great but he looked most athletic that he's ever been yeah for a big man he can move country yeah also in the co-main event found Tina Shevchenko at defender toil boy TKO against Caitlin chick akin in the third round Ross what a what a dominant performs from I'm Valentina even Halle Berry was proud of her Halle Berry let's be honest no one was surprised with this no mischenko could be like the most dominant champion in UFC I've no idea who UFC is gonna actually trail in there against next maybe like Johan called a ward or someone oh yeah cause he does next yeah but at the end of the day I think that's another alarm to the slaughter really George Anka they don't holler the bullet for Norton they don't she actually owns in the in the bill we impressed with tougher ya tougher he was a first-round knockout yeah it was a mushroom he did smash the German worse out back to Quinn no he lost back to Barry back to ki and their shadow James Krause who lost my decision but like came in on the day's notice is well yeah he was he was their corner and so I'm actually not even too sure who he was corn and Travon Giles who was from Houston Texas his opponent pulled out one James Krause went all fight and he also want 50 round bonus for the noise which is like brilliant stuff yeah and so this weekend it's you see Rio Rondo and it's being held by Corey Anderson against young black which and the winner of this is their feed the next person in line for what the college John Jones winner this whoever gets in boys don't be like John Paul Jones yeah to be honest this card does not look great at all although Landon Vanara against Yancy Medeiros cobia good scrap could be for the year that was like yeah I'll do like local scrap I think also down the card is in 1d premiums isn't a taniel Ward first of John Dodson and the tiny waters like called the prospect and he doped with very very gold he's on the field in his UFC career so I'm very much so looking forward to him fight there anyone else sort of springs to mind Jim Miller and also Jim Miller fighting again yeah and also I'm sorry oh boy caprara he's value Joe's all the capoeira in the ring yeah so like that first Diego Sanchez should be war this could be very good night fights yeah but like what name recognition is not great great to watch the next day yeah but Ross Corey Anderson against yam black with you we expecting to win this I think Corey Anderson's like is very go to wrestle I think he'll be able to wrestle horrified alright on something in the end various one anyway but no K yeah speaking of knockouts as well bare-knuckle fighting is on this weekend without Hector Lombard making his debut against David the cowboy Mondale okay P these are le over this so who you expecting for this do they actually say that or that's just what you're so much it's just easy there are no rules no disrespect Lombard to him because he's an absolute monster and I've no idea Dave mom dad is yeah just before we came here Hector Lambert and before we wrap up the show we're just gonna bring up some news about a toward Dublin it was announced last week that James Keller is off the card unfortunately and Liam Court has now stepped up and she is the main event in the update at the show as well she's meant to create history for that Ross watch I just want to make this now people have fallen off the card like I know Reds are still fighting on the card but like Peter creedy's no not fighting and that entrance is zombie won't be there James got her whose headline so many times won't be there either it's losing a bit of star power isn't it yeah it's not really good news about or done I felt like these people have dropped out and there is no replacement same for them which is this point inside the Lisa Frank mirrors come to table maybe he could be fighting maybe so he's presenting as bad as me yeah don't you see why him versus Josh Barnett does random wound up brilliant it needs something it needs some injection cause like we surprised Liam core will main event yes and no firstly she's gonna massive portion I feel like she's only Coppola for tumor wins and she's in there again cyborg or I'd say maybe even this war board who knows bullet it was her like what's key for young man to put it to put as a headliner I don't think heart rate sure hasn't been on the main card so you can't even do that it's hard to really say to be honest unless they try over another American talent data they could always hold American talent or maybe get a Paul Daley in there yeah but they would have been afraid of people even early member yeah happened there what King mo wasn't and it's very hard to say isn't a look they're trying to strap a rocket ship to Lima court and fly with that like right she's cool looking girl she's in soya boys division soy burgers already posts have been like great have origin in few and she was like great Celia headlines great see the featherweight women's no fair Pedro fair Patriots just it's it's just disappointing the way we already hardly on the card I mean now we don't have James and now we don't have peter query as well cuz everyone else that they've died arena erupts when Peter created comes out yeah you sort of lost the main event the co-main event and now were given the third fight down yeah I'm Billy told us the main event it's a bit like when deep Amy Aldridge was supposed to fight Ben Rothwell and that dropped out and then Joe Duffy was supposed to fight Dustin Poirier wasn't yeah and then that dropped it was like yeah we said paddy Hulan for usage and then he lost yeah but it's like we already had paddy hill yeah you believe someone what's call they're saying he's your fish and chip and mushy peas Blake we're gonna take your fish and chips please don't yeah yeah we're gonna put down well hopefully something else happens to him because there we will keep you updated cuz I was like I might have for you on the carrot to get into people go on but you better calm down sir this flyweight
