okay what's going on guys welcome to a brand new episode of energized ross it's floyd ireland boy island is still here it's yazoo island it's iana island it's darren's hill and robert whittaker island this week island reese mckee island i am loving island i think it is such an amazing concept and the voices are getting there fantastic on it yeah yeah i really are a degree i think it's exceeded expectations of monastery yeah i'm sort of like i want them to stay there forever but like like like obviously you want to come back for uc dublin at some stage but uh i just love everything about it even the the art to make for it like for this the clip art the gifs sort of yeah yeah yeah even the t-shirts are cool as [ __ ] like it's uh it is brilliant it is brilliant buzz it looks like ufc 253 is all confirmed that uh are both confirmed that it's going to be atasanya versus paolo costa 200 feet of fire is going head-to-head that's going to take place in september 19th the day after my birthday do you think that that's going to happen on floyd island because they're both international fighters and that's sort of where all the international flights are taking place at the moment but where was him where's the original meant to be scheduled for vegas it doesn't i don't think it has a like a set destination see that's the thing a while ago when foil photo is announced myself and yourself we're talking about it and we're like we were like right there's a possibility of it of fight on and happening way longer than scheduled uh like this weekend obviously darren hill's taking on robert whittaker and that was meant to be the closing of photon but it's not looking like it's it's leaving the island anytime soon and i'm sure dana white's enjoying getting that lovely pink suntan and you can't beat that han rosco no you can't he's even looking a point ahead oh like he's he's looking at the long haul you know i mean you don't buy a house on jazz oil unless you plant doing a lot of business there yeah yeah they're very true tomato not only for the oil being brilliant fights they've been fast and furious there's been two cards since the last one we were on here talking fights and we get into the first one um calvin cutter obviously won a unanimous decision against dan ige bachmann on a tear at the moment doesn't he ross ever since coming through is it dinner boys contender series oh jonas i actually don't know where he came from all i know is he's a boston guy sort of like dana white loves him he's like boston zone calvin hater like you could only really call him a scrapper uh yeah yeah he's going and kicking us and uh he's looking good doing a ross he really really is like you i mean he's he already got some good wins on his uh record like he's beat lamas he's beat stevens he's beat uh iggy i mean there's not a lot of people for him to sort of like go up against next if you know what i mean uh he also went to fight to beat in russia which uh not many people would do that and he lost at 29-28 but he was actually won the third round so who knows if that was a five-rounder uh where it would have went and it should have been a five-rounder because it was the main event but uh he took that on short notice also when he was originally supposed to be it was supposed to be in boston so like he was actually like scrambled i'll just go to russia and fight him if that isn't baldy i don't know what is you don't mean no yeah i didn't know that was actually that was i didn't know that that he was meant to originally fight in his own backyard and then yeah he took it to sabi's backyard i was honestly that's all you work so far for calvin cater it's a bit like oh he was going to fight next i'm pretty sure it's beats toyed up fighting yay rodriguez um i think there's real beef between the korean zombie and brian ortega there seems to be like travel issues between those two fighting i don't think korean zombie can actually get out of south korea at the moment so why not have brian ortega versus complimentator or alternatively you could go for the big one and have max bless holloway versus calvin hayder jesus man and he's so good at stand up like he keeps the [ __ ] him basically for the whole fight he kicks her kicks it like he combines kicks and punches so well yeah i think if he used to fight bruno tega and if you kept on defeating beat him but yeah i'm gonna take your love is taken to the ground but if you voice max holloway that would just be like get the popcorn out this is going this is going we'll be going up this is going to be going yeah but there are two good shots yeah is there any like what did you make of that card on the wednesday wednesday night anyway obviously a week to be honest like oh i was enjoying it but then like when it's full of decisions on the main card you're just like um not great not great but then obviously there was like some standouts like uh manure laziz the tunisian guy uh he was very impressive just because like al hassan was like a human wrecking ball uh so i was impressed he like he actually beat him on the stand up and then uh i was fighting tonight yeah you're made cosmos the uh swedish khabib uh he was brilliant against john phillips and then uh unfortunately the uk challenge chris fishgold and molly mccann both last decisions yeah talia sanchez would be money mccann look very good as well foreign are both stolen by mtk mma there's actually which is which i wonder whether you see that crowd they're two brilliant talents i remember i missed you after those voices went on so late by the way they went on later than uh the saturday night voids because of wednesday i was like geez i'm still awake here but uh like the aziz was brilliant and also cosmo which is the the random thing although they're all decisions it's hard to stay awake because no yeah it's true it's strange when you're watching the card you don't really know much of the voters which is will be the majority of the families of ufc they'd be like i don't know who this is i don't know what that is i didn't know the majority of the florida's but when you're watching it and you can see that the gold foil is going on you're like whoa i remember ian gary goes there you're not a star until you're a star yeah so you're not starting to start until you have that big win yeah like i think you can always like pinpoint when someone became a star you know what i mean yeah like if if you look at uh arasanya like when he did like that walk out against robert whitaker and he was dancing all beforehand people was like [ __ ] hell never seen that before i'm gonna keep an eye on him you know conor mcgregor as soon as he went 60 g's baby like people were like i have to watch out for that fella uh sean o'malley as soon as on the contender series you're like what is that you mean like these guys all have like these like moments where you're like yes that gives give us another you mentioned moment you mentioned three give us two more i think when khabib smashed michael johnson i was talking to dana white during the fight like that was like another like disco scary young man and then i can pick everyone uh and then channels on him when he got on the mic and called anderson silva i was like he was like that guy all right i was going to add master darling against ben asking there that was that was a real like oh [ __ ] or uh nate diaz you've taken everything i've ever worked for you know that moment it was like it was like embedded in in like ufc history i love it this is why i love this work because things change every week and new stories are written that new fighters come on the scene and it's just uh it's just absolutely epic but uh ross also on saturday night we had a we had a fly away total fight devs and figure out though to jokes defeated joseph's benavidez and is now the new champ what did you make of this man man figueroa like decisively beat benavidez twice now i know he missed weight in the first flight and like that's actually shocking and he can't be rocking around and missing away but he like beat him on the feet he knocked him down smashed him and then absolutely choked him out unconscious he looks like me he looks like a star man yeah to me like that's that's who i want to see the only thing with uh figueroa is it's the bantamweight division or sorry the floyd weight division i mean like all the stars are bantamweight there's no real stars of fly away i mean he beat the biggest star at floyd which was joey betta vidas so and really no one knocks out people in floyd now really see he should probably fight brandon moreno next i think he's the number one contender uh but there is talk to cody garbrandt moving down to floyd weight he's talked about it loads of times and i think if you are trying to make figaro star or you want to remake cody garber and start like that's a big fight to make the only problem with that is if garber moves down and wins you know he's going to ask for about the weight total shots right away and all you think the problem with floyd weights is as soon as these guys get a bit of star power they want to move up to bantamweight and try and become champ champ and it's sort of a murky water because it's almost like you're knocking around fly away until you have enough clout to get out of the flyweight division yeah yeah so well you have to enjoy the fruits of your uh hard work you know oh absolutely the fruits your loins is that yeah i think so yeah but uh look great great win i think it isn't um whichever you have three there's three options there take one yeah exactly so look it'll be interesting to see uh where figueroa goes next but uh i'll definitely be watching one way or the other yeah we surprised joey benavidez in retire uh no i think like he can definitely still fight you know what i mean um he there's no need for him to call it a day yeah and also like i don't really know what he has learned about the cage i haven't really seen his like this what i do when i'm not fighting or just what up my retirement plan i know obviously megan's probably got a well-paid job uh but i feel like maybe he could have come into the country but i feel like dominic cruz has like that job nailed like all the bantamweights he's like that's not my crazy job yeah and i feel like they almost like to have a fella in each weight class i think they can give like their thoughts on that division like they're the experts without division per second this one's a bit harsh right but to think because he's so small it's harder for him to do the interviews because like say if you have to interview france and ghana like the camera angles would be all over the place you know well no megan or lee is very smart she interviews everyone i know but she's i don't know okay all right i don't work with the tiny and he interviews everyone too yeah but he's not like that he's not that small he's not that much taller than it's only about three inches in the difference today yeah but i'm sure if you get offered joey better be the three inches i'm sure if you left off anyone's just there's a unless you're like the great colleague but uh um russ also in the uh the colorado tallest by the way no i was just wondering man so well you know the way girls are these days like you know i mean if you're under six foot get the bill you're in trouble yeah yeah so unfortunately being six foot seven right now on grand what i called you is that six foot ten height uh russ in the coming event jacqueline manson big help and guys from going into this i think we both talked kevin got something we got to win jack manson got a a very very fast commission in the first round ross and yeah he just caught him the knee bar straight away uh that was actually very disappointing with kevin gaston's mission defense yeah like he couldn't like kick that kicked off his his arse basically to like try and push out but i think i i think a lot of the followers love the tweets afterwards like probably should have gone over that it looks like you didn't try to get over russ this is so kelvin gaston is someone who rolls with it for bc for doom i know yeah it's it's it's bizarre really um i always know like oh sometimes i question kelvin gaston's dedication to the sport uh a redo he says he's on a mission for gold look if he actually you know got nutritionist on like was properly smashing down with the way he should be and eating right um being 100 fully committed to her i think he could go on be a ufc champion yeah i think he could i think he has all the right tools to do he's very hard to take down he actually does have good submissions apparently he's quite weak defensively because i've seen him get submitted a few times now uh but like he's got great hands as well like you still started with uh arsenic so like it's hard to believe that you've gone from before the year can they out of sanya just like kneebard and under two minutes against jacqueline yeah i'm gonna make any shoes here maybe the travel over to azan isn't as comfortable for certain people as it is for others but i mean at the end of the day you're both indicated like you have to sort of step up yeah you do you definitely do yeah um by the way jacqueline's in one interview post fight like he seems like such a lovely guy yeah happy guy the joker like possibly maybe one of the most underrated fighters in the ufc at the moment yeah he was on the team because he was on a tear then lost and then now he's back yeah well he got off there by cannon here but look kanye is one of the best guys in the business you know i mean uh now in his last three fights he has wins over uh jack ray souza and kelvin gosselin who are perennial contenders for the middleweight uh belt so it's only about time jack uh hermans is going to get his proper degree now with the sort of way obviously there's massive uh middleweight fight this weekend but the way the middleweight rankings sort of sit who knows uh where jackhammer manson uh sort of lies if anything if i were him i'd sort of be sort of staying fit and staying healthy and who knows maybe if one of those guys don't make weight he can uh he's still sitting there being like i'll jump in laps don't worry about it yeah why not you know i mean no i'm seven degrees sorry i was just looking through the card and seeing uh russ who else are the honourable mentions before we get into this weekend's ufc uh honorable mentions oh i'm going to give a massive shout out for uh azkar azkarov the russian flyway uh who beat uh alexandre pantoja was at the end of the day he called for a toilet shot next and you never know we might get it and also big shout out to brett jones uh that welsh man he's an absolute legend um he beat montal jackson on i was actually expecting montel jackson to get win um in sad news for a sort of irish mma joe duffy lost didn't look great and then retired yeah joe uh yeah happy retirement job but also there's two other people i want to i want to give a shout out it was the performance tonight for ariel lipsky first of all like she has it all it's like she's gorgeous and uh like she won't be knee bar yeah like she's not around her and then also the man who lives in the matrix would be martial raphael fizzyev like some of his kicks and the way he could just like like dodge punches by bending backwards his was watching him i was like oh [ __ ] and he fights along with his so he's going to be trouble for people he's from uh kosovo where's the jana's iphone yeah kosovo kosovo yeah all right russ that was a noticeable card uh he has on he's banging him out but this weekend roscoe this is the best card jazz allen has oh yeah if you're if you're if you're looking for the uc this weekend make sure to like make sure to subscribe and make sure to let us know who you are back in the win this weekend so ross get the wallet out get the wallet out rusted this is actually a very very very long card so without going through every fight what fights do you want to is there anyone you want to give an honorable mention to in the prelims before we get onto the main card uh prelims uh look out for the uk's and nathaniel ward he's fighting the very first fight night he lost laughs like john dodson boy he is unbelievable uh also shout out to my grundy a featherweight he's an unbelievable wrestler uh nicholas dalby who obviously had that absolute bull bot with our mate ross hewson and then joy herbert the former caged warriors lightweight champion is fighting francesco tranalo in the prelims main event obviously fantastic ones i like joy herrera than that one francisco trinalo's like your granddad fighting he is man like you're like i don't think i've ever seen someone in the weight division who's 41 still like after you repping it i mean very harsh man near my grandmother just if you're just going to be like that we'll just move on and right what's kicking off the main card is our m8 reason key is taking on comes up jimmy ev ross let me get into this right i need to get off this i need to actually jump down here right here we go kazma fought on wednesday so literally a week ago and uh he fought champions from spg and he absolutely destroyed john phillips and usually kazma fights a welterweight and he was fighting a middleweight so i got to ross i got this guy kazman is going to be a massive problem for anyone at welterweight ross was like well he fights the middleweight and i was like no he normally fights a welterweight and then there was just no reply it was like this guy looks like a beeb he's fast as anything he he basically looks like man he's an absolute monster like yeah he's got it all he can do it on the feet you can do it on the ground and he made john phillips look very very amateurish and john phillips is very tough you know i mean and you man handle them as well and john phillips was clearly like to take our fellow as well so yeah he's absolutely destroyed john phillips it was actually scary reason rhys mckee like has the deck stacked against him for his ufc debut yeah talk about it talk about how we got the call as well by the way ross so graham boylan actually rang rhys mckee on facetime yeah and he basically sort of went oh watch think of the mazda fight uh you know stepping up on six days notice uh obviously being the absolute four years he was like oh i was absolutely brilliant he was like at all like what a failure that's absolutely incredible and he was like then graham gordon sort of swung at him and goes oh would you do that and obviously reese mckee being reese mckee he was like oh yeah whatever day what 100 do that and the next thing you know grain boy and goes right bud pack your bags we're going to floyd island you're up and then reason he was like no way got very emotional which i'm not surprised like it was you know that's all he'd been working hard for his entire career and next thing you know he's like human fighting and they're like no crown yeah so he was like who were fighting and then groundborn was like cosmo and then reese mckee was like who that doesn't matter anyway so uh look i'm sure they watch tape on them i'm sure they think he's very impressed as well well reese mckee is a finisher he goes in there to fish with strikes he'll finish you with uh submissions so at all times in in that arcade reese mckee is very very dangerous yeah watching that video by the way how did that make you feel man he got so emotional about it it made me a bit emotional better i felt like i've been somewhat although very smallly on that journey with them you know i mean i've seen him quite so many times i've seen him fight in person we've had him on the show yeah i like it made me feel like i've seen one of my friends dreams come true yeah man well said that i got like a chill when i saw it like it was because no also it's not every day you see someone guess that cause yeah yeah get what they they've worked hard for you know i mean yeah but yeah but even like say if it was uh someone saw him from manchester united like you never really get to see the actual call that was made when their dreams were yeah and then also like it's a huge task so like hopefully he has to win but he also got a four or five contract as well so it's not just one one point and then like see you there you know yeah it's not one and dawn yeah but uh it's a huge it's a huge fight if if he wins this this is a huge name to get straight away but uh i might like it makes this card this weekend so much better for like for us knowing them as well absolutely they're like it's it's a big deal it really is and it's almost the passing of the card as well joe duffy retires rhys now steps in it's class yeah it really is there is there is going to be i think in the next year a massive sort of irish overcoming and passing the guard uh next wave of oil foyers yeah for people who don't know who who did who should they start looking out for because cage warriors is coming back and there's going to be a few irish clouds in that card that are going to make the make sure you watch recent key this weekend uh obviously ian gary paul hughes they're like garland's three biggest prospects right now and they're definitely the ones to be watching out for yeah well said okay uh russ the obviously that fight is huge so it it sort of makes uh some of these other fights look so much smaller but uh is there any other voice you want to talk about before we get into the forbid you for doing versus alexander costas and fight uh let me have a quick look here well obviously uh alex cowboy oliveira is fighting yeah uh and he's fighting petersburg petersburg hasn't fought in over two years uh and let's be honest uh any time these guys get into the octagon they really really bring it so i'm really looking forward to that they're they're both finishers and that could be your fault of the night you never know true and other than that like carlos bars has looked very impressive recently and she's sort of on her way back to uh ufc total shot she's uh one of the last three fights so obviously she should be michelle waterson her last fight and in terms of that mariana rodriguez is actually undefeated she drew against cynthia calavero in a cashway fight there on the overnight versus rosenstein card so that could be a very competitive scrap there in the strawweight division but fabrica for doing verse alexander gustin talk about folks he never thought you were gonna get yeah and there we have in front of us yeah so for be through the doom is cooling it's coming into this one after lost and that was so surprising to where he lost to lexi on the enoch and then alexander's coasters and is making his heavyweight debut ross what do you what are you expecting here because uh the funny thing is alexander goes in has always followed my heavyweight but he's actually taller than fabrizio i really like alexander gupson this fight i think he's going to be faster i think his striking's more clean and i think he's going to be able to take the tko i think it was one of those people who the time off probably did in the world of gorge you know that um that time for his body to recover also looking out for doom lose to alienate i think guston is going to come in heavier than ali naina did i think guston's going to lease weight 230 pounds i would say i may not played i think 220 something in the last fight he's also going to be much longer than him uh and ghosterson has quite good wrestling so we've seen him against jon jones he took him down we've seen him against dc um like he's not taken down easily yeah john jones couldn't take that easily down to cormier couldn't take him down easily we're doomed wrestling isn't as good as either of those two guys so don't be see if we do him take him down i think it's going to play out on the feet on the a next sort of piece in with you look terrible enough for you i don't think guston's going to be able to do the same all you think put your money on ghosts for this for you yeah for me so it was so bad in his last fight it looked like okay he's had enough he's hit the hit the wall but all the time that i bought coming to the last fight as well jay he just looks so terrible didn't he and we're also like um i don't really want to see that again because who knows yeah after like it's funny how like he come in and then just catch constance and it's it's a strange part but if i had to put my money on it i'd go coasters and as well and then let's see what what what damage to customs and can do open the heavyweight division because it's already around seven here it says here supposedly yeah what's up who do you know no no no it says seven in light heavyweight in brackets okay i can see it here look extra close there nobody's seven like heavyweight yeah that's okay yeah that makes more sense but it doesn't say didn't say that there anyway but i'm telling you that's what it is okay ross i i don't believe you uh okay in the cold main events it's it this is like a throw back thursday even though it's wednesday mauricio shogun who has taken on antonio nogueira a rodrigo nogueira it's a little nog in the loya with ross did you ever think we'd see poetry uh no like has there ever been such a mastery to absolute legends this actually yeah there has uh a rubber match that no one asked for i think uh chocolate dale tito ortiz this is the first time since that where we've got two absolute legends for each other like no one asked for this void to happen uh shogun's last fight he actually drew against uh the jew bear paul craig and in terms of um you know gary he lost last withdrawing spam so oh no i'm just gonna back show one i feel like he's better on the feet i feel like his leg kicks are still a bit vicious so that's who i'm gonna pick well i really think that should be the third fight and custom would be the cow main event to be honest yeah what happened in the first two fights between these so that's um so the first flight between these girls sorry i almost have to look it up i'm pretty sure shogun won the first one and then nogueira won the second one if i am right now guerrero in the first one and uh oh no maybe no gary was like this more retirement party so like the person i want to put your shoulder so hold on maybe maybe it feels like you want to get back get that back get that win back yeah so what shall we win the first two yeah all right i'll go and show one again even though because he was not you've on a tear there easily and like negari and you don't really see him around really yeah but i think sheldon's gonna win and he's gonna win boy and knockout as well yeah that's a good car actually uh then ross main event this was meant to be used he told us a headliner we still get to see it you see it robert whittaker's taking on darren tale yeah we have the reaper versus the gorilla uh look darren tale although i don't know whether his wing looks less now but darren tiller came off win against calvin gaston kevin garcia was obviously coming off his uh for the year candidate against uh alexander yeah downtown lost school at middleweight he's not cutting the weight uh his standard looks very good he looks hard to take down robin whittaker on the other hand he's coming off uh a knockout loss to is israel out of signia out of time he looked him made him look very average in that fight yeah i almost say well whitaker whatever that hasn't really looked like the world champion that he is since he sort of became the champ yeah well at the end of the day he had to fight joel romero twice and everyone knows you're not the same after having before joel romero look chris boyband he's uh not the prettiest of uh faces these days um jesus that's right he actually doesn't look bad [Applause] his career his career has gone on a bit of a negative trajectory to be honest yeah also the story probably the stomach issues he's had as well he's had to pull out i think two fights he has indeed he hasn't indeed actually at the end of the day robert whittaker is the former champion i sort of almost have to say he's the favorite going into the fight but at the end they who's the more hungry you know i mean robert whitaker has already been to the top of the mountain uh he did want to take so much time off downtown like just very very hungry he's chasing that belt i don't know it's a bit of a tough one to call to be honest yeah i know i'm like because you know wait can i can i tell you why yeah because first i think this is what you're seeing right against this israel and assange striker right yeah and whitaker downhill striker he's fighting whitaker but then guarantee a loss to a wrestler in woodley and whitaker is a is a wrestler as well so it's only like they've all lost to the same type of person but both beat the same type of person you know what's weird all i actually feel like i can't envision these two guys standing across the octagon which are like i think a lot of the times when i look at the fight i can see the fight playing out i actually don't really know what's going to happen in this one if that makes sense uh oh i'm going to jump in now i don't i don't think it's going to be a great fight you don't think so no i'm like i'm watching it 100 percent oh no robert i i think robert whittaker is going to get into a brawl with darren tale and i think robert whitaker is going to win boy knockout do you think whitaker is going to win with knockout i don't already trust darwin tales chain to be honest and whitaker like he's been rocked but then he's commanding rock like romero like cracked some massive shots uh whitaker stayed in there uh when taylor got cracked by mazda doll he was able to kill that crack by woodley he was dropped and he was like on the verge of going out and then he got choked out whitaker i think uh is going to be able to crack them and get the job done till shawnee could be hit before whittaker is a very heavy hitter on back and whitaker to get the job done our mate robert whittaker i know uh it's such a hard one like it's hard to see it play out because it is such a strange fight and also like it's hard to say tails gonna win because if whitaker just does what woodley did he'll win but if downhill does that a sign you did against whitaker he'll win i almost feel like pausing the video i don't even know like i'm trying to see this but um answer me this past if till joe's lose does he still have star power because i feel like he's one of those people who can lose a few times and still keep his star power yeah i think he's turned into a bit of a cowboy isn't he donald trump i think he is i think he's like such a lovable character outside the cage that people are going to watch and fight every single time yeah i think i think for the sake of the crack and the stories because you'll obviously want to bring up what's next for these players like i prefer guarantee one and another question that if downhill wins does he get an automatic total shot because i don't think of robert whitaker wins he gets an automatic total shot yeah i know that's the thing i think downingtown versus alexander or uh paulo costa will be class man it would just be brilliant adasanja first downhill like going on at they're going to add it online i think it's brilliant for the fans i think it just draws more more always it's uh it's just a win-win for everyone especially dana white if robert whittaker wins does he need parallel costa to take the belt off out of signing yes he doesn't need to get that shot so oh i don't know i feel like the middleweight division and it's almost like we have two semi-finals here and then like derek hanley are sitting off in the in in the back as the alternate uh to step in but yeah i do think robert whittaker has the higher profile wins like he's beaten jack ray susan he's beaten y'all romero he's beaten at derek bronson he's like sort of almost you know made his wave in his vision he knows where he stands robert whittaker we've only or sorry downtown we've only seen him fight kelvin gaston and like he won a split decision as we said becoming awesome who knows like astrum you know sort of shows up so i don't i can't see darren till getting knocked out but because kevin gaslin hits like a truck and he still couldn't knock out there hill even how questionable his chin could be and then if but if whitaker wrestles him he'll he i'd convince he'll hundred times win so that's more what i'm saying with like a wrestle win for whitaker oh no i've never seen whitaker actually wrestle someone for a whole fight although robert whittaker is a very good wrestler a lot of people don't know this but whitaker actually tried to like oh wrestle uh for australia for the olympics yeah that's what i'm talking about yeah but then i was like no you can't do that uh it's like it's like you're gonna vote for the belt plan you can't people wrestling the olympics uh yeah but wouldn't detail on the other durant when he got taken down by woody although he was knocked down like there was no getting up from yeah that's the thing uh that's it that i see that like if i put my money on it i'd see whitaker getting on top and then just dominating the position what about whitaker like sort of getting takedowns for two rounds darn tales knocker and then you try to knock him out yeah that's that okay there you go yeah story yeah cause whitaker we're gonna know we know now is not gonna like bang he's not gonna be like i'm gonna play into dairy tale's hand like why would you do that and then you think if whitaker got another crack at out of sight he'd try and wrestle him for the whole fight yeah but there is you see the thing in the back of my mind is i don't think whitaker is here for the long run now why not because the the the the illnesses he's had with his stomach um like remember his daughters have to like he's had family issues recently as well that he sort of pulled out he doesn't seem overly committed into the floyd game whereas this is down to his life he's only 29 rob i know but the sicknesses he's had yeah well maybe oh no i think you know what saturday night had a lot i think i really really will and maybe maybe he's got them fully fixed you know i mean i'm pretty sure he had surgeries on the stomach so it'd be interesting to see if you get back to full fitness but well what i mean like yeah very sad this is not happening in dublin but guys definitely let us know who you think is going to win between robert whittaker and darren tale and will the winner get a title shot against the winner of arasana versus locosta man i can't believe i can't believe that man this is what we need to know it's going to be an epic main event whether you think the play is going to be like good or not just like what at stake for the middleweight division is massive yeah and that would have been great ufc dublin wouldn't have yeah no yeah that's what i like about lads i like about lads but like for the for the for the fans they'd prefer darren tale to win because he captures the the imagination way more than uh rob whitaker when we met him man such a lovely guy i mean but uh that's happens in the fight game it's a small world and the the best fight the best yeah that's all we're looking for uh basma give us a have a look at the car there and give us a three guaranteed wins of the night for the lads to get their money out okay i'll go chris hassan i'll go shogun and i got reese mckee yeah nice i'm gonna go alexander gustafsson i i'm going to go i'm going to pick a few uh ones lower down on the card i'm going to say joy herbert and nathaniel ward oh and then mike grundy as well mike grundy uh is a very good wrestler there you go pick four for you get the wallet now set up your paddy power accounts and win that money and then send us some after the winner and gamble responsibly and gamble responsibly yeah if if yeah also if you're looking forward to usc this weekend on saturday there's actually bellator is back on the friday uh ricky pandey has taken on sergio pettis in the bantamweight division ricky mandela's notoriously known for the sweet gym music ko knockout of james gallagher and sergio perez most known for formally fighting in the uc and being uh anthony shelton and pedestrians brother who thinks they're gonna win that flight by the way bathroom ricky mondays yeah so he trains with like one arch leader and so for that so like i feel like his camp is like top the range now obviously you know pedestrians with his brother and stuff like that but i don't know i've just seen him lose one or two points that i thought you probably should have won before as well sucks very impressive yeah brandeis looks all right uh then aaron people is actually fighting as well against solo hat lee junior uh came on with a bang and now uh he's sort of in limbo so he definitely needs to win there uh there's no one else really i can see that deserves i mean i'm sure they all deserve to shut up but there's no really that people probably know um there's only uh six votes on that card doesn't it yeah yeah well it's a if you're if you're chilling on a friday you don't mean a lot of people in america who watch the show are uh still still happening to um stay indoors so i mean
