Energized Show hosts Billy and returning guest Rhys McKee react to UFC Fight Night (Anthony Smith vs Glover Teixeira and the rest of the card) and preview the upcoming weekend slate. Much of the discussion centers on when a corner or referee should stop a fight: Smith’s fifth-round TKO loss after telling his corner his teeth were falling out, empty-arena corner audio, and examples like Cheick Kongo and Michael Johnson’s comeback finishes. McKee argues elite fighters deserve case-by-case leeway until they quit themselves, prefers sparse corner instructions over constant chatter, and shares a past moment when he told Pat Hillier he was not giving up against Richie Smullen. He recounts Tristar Gym training—including Monday classes with Georges St-Pierre, rolling with Death Squad members, and preparing for leg-lock specialists like Smullen—and his broken orbital and wheelchair exit after a tough bout. Picking the next card, he favors Walt Harris over Alistair Overeem, Claudia Gadelha over Angela Hill, Edson Barboza at featherweight, Eric Anders over Uriah Hall, Song Yadong, and Matt Brown. He says he would take Contender Series, The Ultimate Fighter, or Cage Warriors calls to reach the UFC, critiques the “win and you’re in” Contender Series path, and closes with brief takes on boxing, Greg Hardy, and Conor McGregor’s public message about Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father.

okay what's going on Billy's welcome to a brand new episode of energies they were very special guests on the show we have retro or return of Skeletor Reese Mickey Reese how you doing yeah I'm doing good I'm back on quick succession so yeah oh yeah of course special guest as always you know then yeah for people that don't know we creeps you out recent show so at the very end actually will link the video and you get to know everything better easy I mean he's great lot and last night you see freud was on and then there's a few things that's discourse lads so we may as well kick it off Anthony Smith losing to clover techshare and the fifth round by TKO lads what did you make it this fight and also there's still food I really ought to get into about what was said boy Anthony Smith to his corner but what's making a fight first of all am I suppose I'll take away from static and one thing that was very prevalent list for it was Anthony Smith looks like he was trying to act cool over out there very fast and I think the first round was all Smith and the first two and a half minutes of the second round was all Smith and then you just saw the takeover and Glover was so technically precise for his boxing a pic charts the body yeah I'd lean some kicks he goes back him up against the cage put you know hook him up there and then got some takedowns in and he sort of just eventually broke and Smits will which is not easy to do at the end of the day the ref you know sort of said enough was enough in the fifth round when global share got on top Amanda Holden yeah Reese like like we all know like fighter mentality is just they're all in full stop as you know yourself and unexplained went to was cornered and he said that his teeth were falling out or and or their common area for damn like has this ever sort of happened to you or unlike if you said this your corner what would you expect him to do yeah well I think the first thing that kind of recognizes like these our chief is here at the absolute top like yeah yeah Semien event new Smurfs and Glover it takes the early I mean you can't be surprised that that's kind of the mentality they have hence hence why they were there and hence what their fight showed but I mean in terms of like when you are in that position or in a fight like you as crazy as it sounds sometimes you have to be prepared to like come I know Brian not the way you and N and you know I think if I went back to my corner and and we find out that my front row of T friend my gong shield and then I won't like still fight I think they would trust my word at the time and you know I think I think it would be fine in a weird way one thing I have seen in not just this football all the fights come forward are in the past previous sorry over like four years you quite happens Tony Fergus Falls well I like Jules engage he was just piecing him up the entire time and towards the third and fourth round / - sure I was just piecing up Anthony Smith is there sort of a time where you know your core man should almost roll the tail and he lived for another day um or if you see ma just one of those things where you know you can always throw that hair mayor you shot and got the job done so you're in there it's the last minute yeah like I mean from a corner man or a coach and kind of point of view you don't like to see it from your fighter I think it's very much kiss by kiss and IO like if we're talking proves young in the career amateurs and the amateur level really you know maybe it's time to pull the fight or if you know sometimes you just know that the level is an on par and the fight shouldn't become a goal should be happen I think when you're talking to elite guys though these are this is guys guys livelihood you have to give the chance and allow the chance for as you said the whomp on shore as rare as it can is I think it's case by case scenario yeah well you see the thing is for people watching it like obviously there was no crowd so you can hear the coroner so like everything is more like I'm talk like you mean like Charles Thomas said off there was nothing disgraced because auntie Smith well dominated the last two rounds blow like the question is when is enough enough you know because like obviously yourself like I mean you're in there as you said earlier you're in there and you're you're you're expecting to come out day for me the other saw it pull like your coach is not taking upon themselves to be like your look this is you can come back and forward another day yeah I like E and I know it's the boy huh I'm sir but I just think this kiss by kiss you know and that K survivors I was Anthony Smith I would want my coach to be to let her go to give me the chance I think until a fighter like you know sayers himself like or shows any indication of not wanting to be there you have to let him fight but I mean that experience and experience coach he knows his fighter better than the fighter maybe knows himself will pull the fight so I think it's really hard it's a hard situation for coaches on fighters I suppose for every you know clover Anthony Smith there's always like a Cheick Kongo papyri you know me where someone comes back from the dead and and like scores and ok again Reese you said it doesn't happen too often boy I suppose until that referee steps in there I mean there's always a chance for something to turn around even earlier than like Michael Johnson was putting up to beat down on Thiago moy oyes ore I've never even seen the fat him for and less you know 25 seconds into the second round he pulls a heel hook on him you know I mean so these things like happen and Auntie Smith you've seen before like I think it was was the fourth round or fifth round he got a rear naked choke here and I think against the whole car and I was to here before so you know I mean these things can happen yeah absolutely absolutely in and you know again it's just in that final I ain't know like is he really gonna pull something I or it's he just a punch by Perry was actually against Boston you got that rear- well very much people in the comments given out ya know just watching it you're like like like any forty or like they if they keep going they're going you know or Ross like Cobb sex areas now like he's forty yards and I mean he's definitely out like not in his prime beforehand we built our Anthony Smith we win what where does go over tech off me or us Glover's the Glovers sort of back in the mix now yeah yeah for fight win streak and I have weight division I don't think anyone's clamaran see a Glover Teixeira John Jones to now or who knows like he could maybe fight on the grass you could maybe for young black which he these are sort of probably two I don't want to see if I heard rumbles come back to my head way I don't is he a rumble versa blue over to either he still has to pay on that too or who died was Brees do you have any preference who you want to see Glover fight next as you said it's weird I think when when people get to this kind of age people can just write them off in the career and the problem is Glover's women like that's a big win against Anthony Smith I mean I suppose a lot of it is if he's went on face you have to give him the big face and so I would expect he had won like a favor a up there next and the how can you say actually saw someone I don't know who it was but someone tweeted John John's been like John's old your shits at what's called their a four year old man got Anthony Smith out there and you couldn't do it boyfriends yeah so I mean another that is always the thing when you sort of beat someone more definitively then-champion doors I think that like bodes very well in your favor and at the end of the day louvered share where is that boy ranked number eight and he just be ran from before sizably so who knows who he's going to get next let's all sit there was a there was a funny video that went out at the UC posted when act Kovacic techshare was on top of Anthony Smith and later are talking to each other and it's like it is what it is like it's just business bro boom boom like what sport what is for like reason you ever been in the Octagon chatting away with your opponent you know what I was just kind of like shrink than that there and I said I was thinking no but then I remember when me and Richie Smolin for I remember patty Hillier and corner and they said Oh Richie he's given up and so I like leaned up on an elbow and I said he's giving up party and he goes you are and I goes sliver I'm not giving up am i late iron together just kind of kept working but I'm just a funny moment and we're talking about a few times sense but you're very aware and they're like people think we just go in and come here anything but I knew it was party shirt and I just perked up and show it over to us so that's my only really bar bits and pieces I think that's one things that we've we've learned from UFC and mentee arena is that the other night Greg Hardy actually listen to what Dec said and actually talked off voice and implemented into the fight and then I can't remember he was saying last night but they were saying the difference between the two corners in Glover and Schmidt like Glover's corner rows only give him a voice you know sporadic tea from plum time uh aunty Smith's corner were a non-stop verbally like tell them blah blah blah blah and he could actually hear what's called in the arena and they were saying that because he was getting so much instruction it was probably making you so much energy as well I was making even blows gasps kill our gas tank even earlier do you think that happens if your coroner's I can't see how much it you can't even looking to give them a response yes I guess such it's such a good I like I know for me like if I had a few corner men fell in for when my normal corner team our way and and they've brought in a different style and just show you show you show you show you I must like again like you Justin dreamed like it drains my energy like I'd rather be left with a piece give me twenty thirty seconds pop Dianna you know it doesn't need to be do this this this all don't do this isn't that you know it's very dreamy so yeah I would agree more of a glow burst corner I'm actually really enjoying getting there the photos not getting their actual opinions on it you know resear legend also in the co-main event Ben Rothwell won't blow decision against almond Saint Preux rough sweet Otto SP was gonna win before around the athlete well there he was house Ashley should buy a Big Ben you're me yeah yeah big band actually use his size really well in this fight either lean them up against the cage no he's from pepper um a few shots couldn't be clinched as well obviously being but he obviously probably put down from two to 265 for the fight big band and he really did use a size especially against someone who's used to fighting someone of a similar size o SP waiting I think 240 so he gave 25 pounds weight and few people are saying like that's way too small poor steep a always ways in bare to 40 and he's the champ so you can't really be like that's not fair and OSP actually London's his best shot of the fight after the bell he actually dropped off I I what's called after the Battle of the third round not Paul de Leeuw style there was in mid sequence for their I think OSP going up the weight class was actually too tentative I was afraid to exchange with Ross because the last 20 seconds of the third round he actually Shane with him he had Rafa rocked oh he probably needs to go a bit earlier and reso actually no such thing with some father as well that they wait for the last 30 seconds and they go for even though the balloon for glass two rounds what's your take on that and when it's not going your way in the Octagon at what point do you mean to be like right and he changed something yeah like I've been intuition to guess like two and a half rounds down and I've went for it the last the minute but for me if I'm two rounds down I go for it the last Ryan's not the last forty seconds the last second you're sloppy and you may as well be affected someone might say to bar you know it like northen say it's just desperation so I think the last 40 seconds I mean I mean obviously some things happen there but now you need to be ahead of the last 30 seconds you know you need to know you're lose and before that yeah and now to like see Big Ben take on less than well he called there were Olly and a look so he goes he goes yeah those two older dude so we can bang it out so i was like grabbed oh I'm actually all for that for yeah battle of the big ball beast yeah look they look exactly alike they save chest area no not a few honorable mentions here drew Dober worn by TKO against Alexander Hernandez yeah yeah drew Daubert reigns of just engage he so he has that fighting spirit in a much he definitely has to get for some love no Sh going forward now cause Mathers was number 15 the rankings drew Dober was on right Paul fellers like a go Carlo and a big Carlo because he's ranked 6 yeah but he actually might be able to get Boyd actually looks he drew to over versatile Iaquinta you know that to fame that's a good thing yeah I like that happen within the Paul Felder I think felt no sentence no said he wouldn't give fell down run but you know I think I don't think the UFC would make it I think both elder before that fight that's one here for Ricki phone also camera able to win as well by decision against Ray Bourque grade boards like it is news and wrong continuous air Andrei Arlovski came over win as well against Philippines Philippines actually looks alright after moving up to heavyweight division lads yeah you do there yeah and then a chagum noises Ross mentioned earlier he defeated Michael Johnson after the first round getting absolutely battered come here with a heel hook and then stole the fight he's someone who I end up broken out free agency very soon another Michael Johnson whenever is boy talk because I'm sure he's on half tea somebody at this stage he's not really cutting the cheese he's not really gonna be a main event so I would be surprised if he air was end up and I wouldn't if I was you end up in the PFL you know that yeah that's a good show you wouldn't even be that surprised and seeing him like the same as dancin Henderson or Myles jury like it would fit right in in Bellator so we're caught in Michael Johnson's career here and there yeah what's called it and probably from your point of view as a foyer it probably sounds really harsh when we say that about people's up no no you need lesson you need to be one face and you need to people you need to be doing the job like and and you know same as me like if I'm ever to get the F scene and I need to be doing my job which I which I'm worried that I am but if you're not doing it like you shouldn't be there 100% totally agree it is slightly harsh but like like he was he'd absolute like you won the first time ten eight my opinion no it doesn't matter at the end of the day like Julio has their arm raised is that's all people remember that's the thing is they say they say that'll only takes a you know sort of two seconds laughs and concentration and there you go they have you over there and said that you haven't their mirror there yeah but look a bowl shape again Luis yeah so for Henry's know them leg looks change a fight in a heartbeat have you ever fought someone there or I've ever grappled someone who's like a leg lock expert I'm like I'd say say your son was like starting the trade but in Guardian like you ain't of the go for your legs like your heart goes did your mail to like no the time the time again goodbye to Richie smaller I've been talking about this oh yeah years twice he is a leglock expert yeah massive like I think he's a brown belt movie Oh legs long as the leg looks and I was in Tristar in Canada actually for the fight Kampmann like I don't privates with you leg walk guys and remember the first time he died for my legs it was just like it's almost like that heart heart drop filling we ran off late here we go so Barker I mean those grounds but it's scary it's like it's weird I don't know from what I remember talking about when you were in choice tower like a like did you get too far away at GSP I didn't get a RDSP but I took this class every Monday so I took yeah it was classes and just me isn't like it totally totally totally surreal like just stand and kind of lesson here in like single leg details from GSP or you know it's just bizarre it's hard to even take and no because you're kinda you know it all oh yeah he's my grandfather involved points out the oh yeah yeah when we went we went New York see him we thought be Bisping over in New York it was unbelievable when you were there did you get any air train after him down her and the death squad cuz that's who he rolled with no no I didn't but a lot of the death squad were there I'm like just the scariest scariest bunch of people like sooo honest women but su so nice thing and I T actually ruled a rule over tosser and it was like just like just different different grieving I can't even describe was like it's very like almost overwhelming I imagine so cuz I always say like oh I've done a few where jujitsu classes like like 70 know them in your robe you look like a pretzel no just comes up laughs and he was like way laughing it was like because you never know who you're like actually up against and then like yeah I mean yeah yeah left so vulnerable you know I'm sure that's what it was like yeah he's going at the top yeah I remember there was like young kids and like what I would describe as like short like just like Kanan Lasher wear shorts and I was like I remember if I can click when you're in Tristar like you tagging any decent ruling Gala if you can get a handi a rule you're gonna take it so I for I was get rule and then I just turned out of the guy for about a short son again hammered me four or five minutes Master shall teach George st. Pierre as well we've got inducted into the Hall of Fame Ross deserved yeah the ghost yeah deserve to a world champion one of the longest winning streaks in UFC history I'm like you know what the UFC landscape would've been so different when they were him because they would have been telling me grace welterweight champion see I mean because like you know John Fitch probably would've been champion Thiago Alves would have been champion Josh Koscheck would have been champion you know might use probably would have a long room less UFC champion but like none of these got to wear the belts cause of door st. Pierre it's crazy also lads am Omar Antonio Morales Ferrer warned boy decision board and if if you haven't seen the picture of a scheana afterwards it's absolutely awesome because you can see right in there and Ross his girlfriend back Rawlings tweeted to China vagina shin yeah look for it was serious 12 minutes poor I suppose there's always an adrenaline factor that kicks in for some things and you know I mean a lot of fighters don't know something or I remember seeing John Jones complete so many fights well as soon as the fights are over he's limping like there's no tomorrow yeah it remember his toe yeah I'll get Chelse on them yeah please well what's weeks injury you have ever had in your town and I broke my I broke my orbital so now I broke like the the orbital floor where your I eat sits on I broke that but probably the big I didn't feel about after the fight but when I fought very good one like that was the fate you're talking about like we just like you're fine and then all of a sudden you're limping like I remember I was getting pushed around air for it to go home and a wheelchair so that would like kind of be this or fate but not there yeah I hear you broke your orbital I had Tim Barnett then our first fight we had a fight and then we remarked what's what it looks you get in the airport after when you're in the wheelchair no two black ice wall here and all this and then people are just even the most thing when a stag do I'm just saying sad something like you're sad but like I would I see I don't know if I'm still on a bit of adrenaline on the day after a fight but like I'm not see best least when people like give you dirty looks and stuff like that even on a good day but not like specially after a fight yeah also where Ron Keller came able to win against hunter Azur and then said earlier chase Sherman's back in the EOC would have been against always acted in the way ever who actually came in six days notice and they hung him well the chaser was back when the phoney scores in the EOC question for you right do you think hey Sherman will be the only person in UFC history that will go from UFC to bare-knuckle boxing back to UFC that's a good show issue maybe Rumble Johnson be maybe Rumble Johnson thank you I know he's involved with paranal course yeah we didn't for you I know yeah boy who knows more you want to take on that way Tyson point who knows our two might come back for your feed over true Oh actually that would be a great chair well that's enough to say about last night's card we miss n-no or actually think or enjoy the fights more in the empty arena because you can hear more stuff if that makes sense except obviously you don't want to have it yurina forever cause you want to take the island let bombs in yeah if we cannot go it could be empty she does really if she goes to some state or some countries and you just hear the fan saying she Bashir like it takes away from the fight you can work you're like almost contrary more what the fans are saying like just having it I'm just like solely focused on nothing else by the fans I mean why are there two fighters it's actually good Reese what's the what's the funniest thing that you've ever heard when you put it in the cage and you've been for it do you heard Fonzie like I don't know if I can swear here can i oh yeah you know I just like the like the x-ray look like like when I was a bit younger and we used to fight in Belfast you'll hear people saying like kickers [ __ ] and and not with bollocks and like it's just like it's alright thank you just want to like start from a non sinn it what did you just say like and then my favorite this on this one happened that every show I'm sure happens of the SAT they say people said just get up just get up when someone has you dying that's a oh just get up like a flip I forgot to get out of like oh yeah actually you wouldn't know anything about you shouldn't have forgotten to get old man make or else they wouldn't have said that well they were a berry of you heard any funny ones like just just think the crowds and all them say mad [ __ ] like it's hilarious I think a long time I wasn't already pretty Liam and I heard them go keep them in the day yeah yeah I thought that was gas that was Reese's Corder yeah I always remember when you did for it in the end Dolan you had the whole of the bottom like the back of the arena just like all this born yet I mean I always bring great support they always more support than I expect and then I guess this is crazy like but I'm like really excited to fight there again yeah but you probably also have another like 20 30 40 50 60 or hundred people who are just like oh he's here brilliant was here for him too because like you're well-known enjoy your scene you know I mean so hey no I think what would you do after a for you like I have not many people there where's that where would you look arrange like an after-party or you know war like any time like I've had quite a few facing any time we have arranged to go to a certain bar a certain time it never worked so now the plan is normally just go to like whatever hotel I'm in everybody goes that there have a drink have a chat whatever but with all the last report is like it's the last thing in your mind plus I never want to get changed I want to just wear shorts and that's it though yeah that's it good you feeling quite drained after a foot like obviously will be like don't we have so many people then either saying well dawn or hard look and just consciously take an even more energy from yourself it's just I wouldn't say like it's just such an adrenaline thing like I think if you can live that if you can live that day like constantly like you have a crazy crazy life like I mean nothing can can annoy and that night well this is all after when of course but nothing can annoy here like nothing really kind of matters I mean it's just too good times i it's amusing yeah what was the best what was the best night you've had Boyden and like the after-party when people have come up to what was there if you're really the one oi yeah well it'd be what a beat Tim Burnett yeah and the rematch for the world title like I remember walking into the hotel I'm like the muscle I know there must be like 200 people there I think they all started clapping and cheering on that other side there's actually it was like a really overwhelming moment like make German you didn't even know what to say it was kind of awkward but like awkward for me if I you know but it was amusing so okay I remember it kind of gave me goosebumps but it was a cool moment yeah vengeance is sweet big-time big-time it's dangerous to you though maybe what you ever watch kickboxing movie yeah he says that revenge it's a very powerful but but a very dangerous ha ha that's a great story let's this weekend the UFC is back if we weren't there we don't know if we have more this weekend it's on Saturday noise our ovaries taking on wildfires in the main event heavyweight bout hopefully we got a knockout lads what do you expect him from these two big big dudes this is actually very interesting someone and weirdly enough I now have a soft spot for Walt Harris DC was posed for many months ago I think was in Washington DC and Walt Harris is daughter-in-law went missing and then she was actually later found dead she was actually more hurt hurt so this is his like returning from back going into that fight before all that happened I was like hopefully we see some vintage ovary or now I'm sorry I think I'm almost like checking for mall Paris because like what annoys Chloe and in terms of the actual skills was Walt Harris go in there and he's looking for an okay we got big he's big guy were heavy shots obviously over him lot more technical he was very unlucky in his air Rosen's Troy because if he if that went down 30 seconds longer and he could have a damn he would have won the fight by decision so I think over him probably gonna get the nod yeah I'm gonna go well Horace unless I think yeah I think like as much as Overeem's the veteran and got all the experience and as you said probably the more polished skillset I think what Horace's bit younger he's more of an athlete and I just think I think over him is pasta compared to what we've seen like many many many years ago so I know for what Horace and maybe I have a soft spot for him too but he's impressed me anytime I see him so I think I'll be happier Walt Harris wound up you know like go you yeah that's better for the heavyweight division of Walt Harris wins just got just twitch on Raw said earlier I'll see what all that all the terrible stuff going on Walt Harris is life in the background and that could that could like so go either way yeah I could play a factor in the back was mine so I'd almost say Overeem for the win just because we don't have he doesn't have any problems that we know of going into this but either way you can feel a knock out there and the comment event cloudy a good day is taking on Angela Hill and women strawweight division and cardiga day has been like up and down the last were like buddies for it sort of expecting this weekend and for me I realized cutting your daily for winter this one boy submission and Arnold Hills last twice boys submission yeah I think that's her only to be lost as far as I'm aware of recent times I don't see a few decision off supports army finishes and cardiga Delia there's like a submission wizard oh I think she'll actually be able to take her down get the job done kahdijiha Delia was the consensus number 2 West in the world for a very long time and I don't think angel Hills ever really cracked that top five what were you Reese yeah I think I have to kind of back up everything he said I think I also think Claudia Lakes she's a bit more aggressive not since she's the nasty person but you know she always seems a bit more up for it little longer than she faced and I think that might be a big different again to Angelo he's kind of little bit more of a chill right there so you know I think I think we can see Claudia again taking her day and beating her up I'm so burner yeah all agree which allows clouding your there you ever saw us fought for abouts don't you Russ will you bring that off on camera in the featherweight division da Noya he's taking on esposo proposed was talking down to the federal rate division that's what he expected from Barboza in this weight class I always thought Barbosa was actually quite large at lightweight and gonna be very interesting cut down to featherweight now I always talk although was large enough for fedway and he made a table to bantamweight so like these things aren't possible Danny always come off a big win over Marissa abetik and he was split decision or you got a nod there so look if Barboza from lightweight shows up down a featherweight I expect my brows to get the job done here for now those were you caught our nasty think so we'll see here we go like him barbozza ma'am I got a lead power boosters gonna go into this we it someone told me I was actually talking about [ __ ] yesterday and someone said he's fighting this weekend that February and eyes I didn't just didn't believe them like Aggie and I fought he was massive for likely at any time I see I am like flip this is the week maybe she be in Kaluga the size of Barbosa so the fact that you can die and I think or Bush's biggest problem is inconsistency like even at light weight like if he turns up late look how you turn it Wiggins down Hooper like not many people stop that barbuso but on a bad day not a bad day but I can say just engage in all like I don't know he just sorta cold so oh I don't know I don't like pecking against Barbosa but I find gonna have to I'll just I'll just go about salons history to pop I think of barbells he can get those leg kicks going he's next ensemble boy if he can know before the make kick leg kicks early arm I mean that's is like one of the biggest tools in their arsenal yeah just like I'll just like watching this case got like I'm like hopefully we have to see that damn and therefore we'll see him win also in the middleweight division era condors has taken on Christoph Jaco era condors loathes the bang Erica and they're like been in multiple boy-boy the night here is fighting against yeah go Santos was something else he was so hard to put away Jaco was like been threatening to be so bored for so long and then know we sort of slipped off when he fought a ranch dressing and you're all your hearts or Oh sort of like Jocko and this one I think he's bit more tactical and he'll be able to get the job done boy Eric Anders be game I think a decision but a formal decision about URIs yeah well I always enjoy more generic grounders I actually don't know much about jock or seeking a few of his highlights and stuff them I think nagging there's the ability binders yeah as reset his ability to bang love song you did their cards kicking off a song you dong against my own bare brass what's respect here and look they're actually both calling it well there has good for you go win streak things got four or five if I win trinket and then you dog wasn't one like six was having around then there drew with Coley Stockman or actually sir dong-young sedan or whatever you say yeah I actually we've been really impressed with him over the last couple fights I always sort of looked at the Asian for hours and men's hasn't been like a Chinese male foyer he was like sort of stored in a very long point so I think he could be warm for trying on the map from enzyme a yeah yeah get your dongs that is fresher I think I need to be afraid to watch as you say him and one of beer is good to experience the bullfight you have a very cool record and but as we know wreckers don't play much but I think I'm gonna go song you Dom and this one too but it's a [ __ ] Larry is nyan song you did on like what a legend it was it was when he knocked him that Brazilian fella I think was Pantoja I was like was like I was like I was like 'hey look there you go yeah yeah we talkin toggles class who's in the open folder as well also fart and you'll see and right lads the headliner in the previous map round against moved well beza and they're more of my friends back Ross yeah Matt Brown is an absolute legend like as you sort of said earlier each like it could be you have to go into a fight may be willing to not leave the exact same already believe Matt Brown when he's like I'm willing to go in there um that's exactly what a Freud boy saw haze as long as my brain does not get hit in the liver he's won the best foyers going welterweight and I expect him to win here cuz I don't know who was a problem this yeah whatever yeah anybody was the nickname immortal he knew he's there he's there for one thing one thing only I love his elbows I'd love to see the elbows out somewhere opinion I don't know much if anything about his opponent but my brains and onto the Baron and you know as hard it's hard to pick against him against some of the best in the world so angle my mop Ryan yeah my brain as well also an interesting fight as well Anthony Hernandez taking on Kevin Holland yeah look all I can holiday you know what it'd be great to see him finally in mentee arena cause he likes to talk so maybe interesting to see if he's there platanus gomes I'm pretty sure he was a contender series guy was me yeah and there he you look very interesting I think he's took a few fights on short notice that haven't gone his way but I want to say I want to see him win because he's an entertainer good source and then also don't forget the damages there as well man lay around yeah don't worry man I have him here Reese you've been sayin that yeah and what was a fan of the contender guys always like watching them I don't know much about every these guys so I'm gonna go the same result all right Mike Davis taking on key guy she can't say we're on the same defender weight division yeah no I just want to talk about Darnell taking land we're in the Federal Aviation the damage is black Ross I can't believe Darren Elkins is like the second for the car and I can't believe they're having him for you an absolute no well I know what he knew where everyone's a nobody until there's nobody as well yeah I mean but like his last three fights were roid halt Ricardo Lamas I'm Alexander Balkan off see like the damage is in there and he's like fought the best the best Denis Poisson as well young preacher he fought Jason Oi I'm pretty sure he's also far table man there's some sage for Cochran Diaz Beth ditch Michael Johnson Dez permute as I and he's beaten some of them as well he beat Dennis Bermudez Michael Johnson and their Mercer back to him on the greatest comebacks in UFC history oh I just like to see him for someone who's really good and they're like might surprise you with the weigh-in yeah also cool I'll tell you I think we're all don't retire and albums there Courtney case is also The Cardigans my Romero Barela and flyweight division before you is being the whole cars been kicked off in the heavyweight division Rodrigo Nascimento for errors taking on Don tail mayors and that's interesting dude look this all goes down I'm sorry I know you like it it's great having my back you did mention some bad contenders what just want to make it the contender series and like obviously you want to go straight in for dad to UFC well like say if you got a phone call for a contender series would that be Anthony be interested in yeah light ways with Ultimate Fighter like I would love to I love that approach I actually heard they're comin back because there was a remember they were finished and I'm up for whatever I need to do again efforts contend their Ultimate Fighter or when in the cage warriors for tail or just being called up for one of these mad and arena shows I'm up for whatever so I'm a company man until until I've earned my stripes till I'm up for whatever yeah cuz we have Shana Miley on the show and he all C was on the first season of The Contender series and then after that he blew up Charlie I mean if you've got a muscle like it must win and The Contender series you could actually skip up the load of people who were actually on the crowd and maybe even there for a few years which is a crazy thing about MMA abour their anime is a game where like what have you done from your asses not yeah really is they don't mean you have to be in the Octagon to be relevant very few fires can say relevant outside the Octagon III do you think it's a sort of it's almost the easiest way into the UFC now just by getting on the contender series and pressing now I don't know how easy is to get on the contender Terry sport it's almost like Tennessee Marika's Got Talent at Britain's Got Talent do you ever do the audition the auditions like it's like right well you're a talented we'll have you Yomi that's what story for the contender series and look has had some brave people and it's a great flat platform to go on your little foyer I always think probably cuz the TV ratings have gone down on and it's obviously less watched now poor I think if you're almost young free and single your old employer is actually incredible to go on cuz like yeah what the house all you did was eat sleep and train sounds like that's like absolutely ideal for some people and you know you're you're paid to do it as it goes along I think what's hard for some people is when they have a family and that they're leaving their wife their kids and they go and feel for her hey was hold that way if your your free and single like I think you'll do for us right yeah good sure yeah like there's cases like The Contender this the reason I'm not a fan of the contender series is it was very much more like if you win you're at sake you know you have like I I love and here that's you know people are going there if you win your end but look at Brandon lock me and like he won the dominators fight he may be made a weird decision at the end the show for its head and see if yeah I need in the AFC when he's absolutely yeah see caliber fighter like but and but then this this is as we talked talked earlier like you have to be providing the goods not just the winds that finishes and I'm high quality so I'm talking like an warrior there but high well you have to have to like that's you have to see it to believe it but like also yeah as he brought up their brain lock name and put also awesome binder free roster I made he actually one quick Vince Lee as well on the contender series he's married to paid France and like I mean it just made sense and they didn't pick them on purpose I think that's because page was it was holding on a contract yeah well you don't mean like the UFC are friendly cool throw and they'll do whatever it takes to sort of you know en lo over the line with you know I mean like if they they'll use your family and friends against you you know I mean that's the way they do it and we all agree with you it's a winning you're in knife being you know a definite factor it isn't an over do deal but I suppose one way or another you get seen by a lot of people on TV it's great get your name out there yeah I'm Brendan luck no Nam cwentun PFL Dan Denis gotta be contractor yeah so yeah and also keep winning you know what happened yeah although the only other thing is is that a bit like what Dana would deal with them Greg Hardy as well that they might go well torn you usually excellent rains not too sure on yet though you're gonna have to fight in the contender series again yeah yeah I don't know what way they paid for The Contender series well I don't know how much money you make off probably NASA probably very very low yeah well I would imagine it's a loads boy I wonder is it a wonder I wouldn't be surprised if they know it was like if you get to finish you get extract yeah a hundred percent absolutely I would say it's fueled unlike if you knock on my I give you 50 grand if you win and I'll give you five hundred dollars like uh something to contain series is come back soon as well that's going to be great that's gonna be great see but you think do you think also the contender to it makes people for each here for me as I'm like you might be like get excellent you know wrestler and then like you have decent sound up decent it's and like you're a hot prospect but you're like talk better we're here buying all the was like you don't have a chance and then you actually like don't use your actual game plan yeah I think that I think this is where you know I mean if I if I was a racer and grab we're oriented I I mean I would be second to medium planet I'd be willing first and foremost luckily I like the strike and I'm buying so to speak so word of the day word of the day but no I think I think if I hear should always go in and stick to other thing you know and again an Astra in that situation where you're losing to Ryan's then you gotta let them go yeah yeah Judy and Lane somewhere is sitting at home with his uh nobody have wife or kids and daughter and he still sit ask people to let them bond bro yeah you did oh did he yeah well so some of these letting them bag oh my god this week and I'll just thank God for your fear shall be this board I think you I think the born does League is back this weekend can't wait to get my later hosed on and her a few Stein's as you want you to watch to air for Bobby's not really know like I mean it's a good sign for the rest of professional sports like Cage Warriors and stuff a guy so oh I'm all for bringing back the footballer as long as it brings back where sports yeah there are old Lance on two or two things before the end of show and first of all to see my choice inspiring and let's make it up a breeze here yeah what to make of us boxing Reese all the big believer I'm like I'm like put them in there with Joshua quick oh stop I know I like all you can win toys and we'll give it it would go for two rounds after that maybe not put like for two rails our man is still gonna be a fearsome pendant probably cause everybody's so scared yeah yeah quick fast twitch muscle is like someone else and him enough Jesus imagine imagine like trying to I over to start her kingdom well there another thing lads as well there it kind of dad feeds the autistic and then I am you see were saying like hope he gets well soon and then convert Greg Romero saying like he pushed everything asteroid that he has wake Reeve and said that like a hope in his dad gets well soon and isn't a great whole like things can come just brushed aside and you can just actually like you can write what's a raisin all olive branch but the same extend an olive branch extend the olive branch like I think I think you know corner Conor McGregor is this what he is I think you know he's a man with a father he's a father and I'm selfie but some you know I think he realizes it's that you know there's more to it than a beef especially like the way he slag his dad at the press conference and stuff I think it was very important that yes you can I take the statement you know yeah yeah well or just hope this guy gets well soon cuz like I'm pretty sure like he believes that in Russia you're like that's the type of like go years they could take don't make the family and like he just easy he always used as head coach then like have you ever heard and the armor Mendes is it as a restored coach well solid head coach well as dad never gets into USA so obviously the visa it's just there for hopefully he is well and I'd love to see UFC Russia but could be but a headliner I just don't see well where the Coyotes bunsall Crowell boy or zone everywhere the cookie you have the crea so you like Where's Wally yeah the
