Russ and Barry on The Energized Show recap a recent UFC pay-per-view weekend they say largely delivered: Yoel Romero versus Paulo Costa as a close decision many in the arena thought Romero won; Nate Diaz returning after roughly three years off to beat Anthony Pettis, who they say broke his foot early; and Stipe Miocic stopping Daniel Cormier in the fourth round of their heavyweight trilogy fight. They spend much of the episode on booking talk—Costa as the next middleweight title challenger after UFC 243, Diaz’s Jorge Masvidal callout as the ideal non-title headliner, and Stipe likely facing Francis Ngannou again while DC weighs retirement after an Instagram post. Side topics include Nate Diaz smoking at an open workout and skipping media day, Stipe’s Cleveland star power, commentary changes (Dan Hardy for Joe Rogan, Jimmy Smith gone), and a preview of Bellator 225 in Bridgeport with Mitrione–Kharitonov, Austin VanZant, Nick Newell, and others on the card.

and welcome back to the energized show it's a mixed martial arts show if you're new to the end of doors podcast welcome and if you're turning enjoy listener welcome back a few I returned Angela's inner and I've not subscribed to YouTube channel please do give it a like thumbs up means a lot to us leave a comment below and let us know what you think the Android show yeah we're talking to you especially you you you know Barry how you do I'm doing good Russ we were saying last week that we were like we need more from the UFC we're looking for more and this weekend gave us this weekend delivered from the lead-up to the fights to the actual fights itself and yeah after the fights yeah do you think the UFC lived up to expectations or do you think like the return of Nate Diaz just captured at the audience's attention I think the foyer is more livable to the expectations like you just cope with the top 3/4 Romero Koster was an absolute barn burner like the return Nate Diaz and then the heavy a rematch that's what it no one really asked for but no one gave a better either do two jobs for it by him you know cause he Ward's like it's crab boy it was more so I didn't like the way he chose toys at the prom to get the rematch yeah well I think we should start from the beginning and last week we were posing for this then it really like everyone's imagination was just there once they saw an 80s coming out into the open work had smoking that joint yeah CBD the worst thing I've seen anyone do I know it's really that was like I know in Ireland it's illegal but like if you live in California you wouldn't be like oh my god I've never seen a pro athlete like where he new cameras are come to a training session or he was at a press conference light up any form of cigarette or joint yeah no well you put it that way it's like crazy it was a new workout who didn't you just take smoke the joint so like a Falls he sort of did like a few like shadow punches and like I think he Brady talk is like corny off did you notice also that like in his interviews and stuff I don't know if he was bit stoned or what I was bored he was real like it's almost like he can really talk normally anymore I see if I can talk board but only he ever talks that normally he always has like a list van he sounds like he gets punched in the head for love yeah but like steep him you know just as well even in the build-up to this and like when I was watching the embedded I had no interest in what my old shooter who's doing know someone who like I'll never miss his voice boy I've no interesting listening like cyborg but it's a bit like fade or yeah yo mean well yeah no but like it that's that's my point I think SOI Borges bear comparison because you do speak English but I still don't care to listen to what she has say more so like get in there and fight I'm all-in yeah I think Stevie's just were like oh I'm I could be like a comedian if I didn't want to be an MA father and it's been like no but it is quite funny the way with me out just winning I know I was were gonna go through everything that like he got like massive shoutouts from like the Cleveland Browns the Cavaliers and JUCO and Joe cou from at the Browns as well just a lot of like leave and support it reminds me a bit like the Irish support yeah when he fought in Cleveland and he was really treated like the hometown King and although I think they should bring him back to Cleveland I almost think like he's such a superstar in Cleveland they should keep on having a point in Cleveland until someone can beam in Cleveland yeah but I think if you haven't fight there two more times now I always actually turned seven or something already or 36 yeah it's it was one of those things where if you just keep important when Cleveland team from such tubes are that then the people from Cleveland will actually travel to see employed somewhere else I think that's almost we have to do well yeah it's a he's not really great cell at the age is that now and also like the names T PMI ultras doesn't you know like Daphne Cleveland yeah yeah I mean it's one of those things words like hair just Bella yeah exactly yeah like I guarantee allows people like put his name in wrong Oh cuz even when we were riding it out there dude I was like how do you spell Steve Bailey Bowl dancing were you really UFC heavyweight champion oh that guy yeah he needs to be he's known as a champ so not like lose not identity known cares if you're not number one you know also he doesn't have a nickname so if you have a nickname well then and your name's a hard to say or hard spell ya know first something really that hard table less memorable yeah I say for Americans it's harder to really be like aw steep am i oh geez whereas we watch those of a European football so we see like moderates and rocket teaches yeah I'd say people say his name real weird especially when you don't like mainstream media cuz he would probably have to do a bit of mainstream media for that for you you know I'm a big pay-per-view and returning ideas for the heavyweight oil and they're like so Stipe Miocic is here yeah Stipe so Stipe tell us about your fight okay so here we'll go into more stuff right I've seen the build-up to there's an 1880s there smoking a few reefers and then didn't show up to the media day didn't show up on the Thursday then the Friday things got real oh you have a feeling also that like Joe Rogan's not gonna be there for much longer in the UFC yah Dan Hardy on the show they're due today and I was just like Dan Hardy is gonna step into it fill his shoes soon I can sort of see in a certain way like Don how do you went off and did all that like ayahuasca and all that I'm like he's trying to be Joe Rogan like he's he's a genius dose Joe Rogan asked and he loves the sport as well yeah that we do is really hard into the intricacies of the sport so he could be a very good contender to fill his shoes really yeah well like they're looking to get more former UFC fighters a part of the panel like that's why they got rid of the guy who came from Bellator yeah about Toro well Jimmy Smith Jimmy Smith yeah border yeah we keep that like I'm like in a note in the note as you can tell Borat yeah then obviously the weigh-ins were on the Friday  kicked off it was great really really cool I love the main of like the main event like is in the pay-per-view cards because they bring like everyone goes from Arianny to Bruce to Joe Dana - yes bigger production behind them and when you have the bigger stars Upton was up yeah whereas like he was he Japan's gonna how you see China's on a few weeks and like you Joe Rogan will not be there I guarantee you poor they're fried nervous so yeah that was cool I was close to home for our own without a tune yeah that dudes hear them and then I so I was he starting I rolled around and are you tuned in for the main card cause I really just wanted to see the top three fights would you start off your own Romero lost to decision but against Paulo Costa Russ going into this voice we both said we thought that Romero will win yeah we were incorrect board the whole arena thought that Romero won this fight and this was one not to be missed and it was unreal take it away it was up there it was a boy didn't start off with corner Sam if you didn't see how to sign your first column and then he was the other foot that no it was a poor reverse Holloway he was was not those who were like four with the aircon dates I'm like this one wasn't far off like both men got dropped a warm stage and Romero actually showed me something in this void uh he doesn't use that often which I think she's a lot more of this is Rasim when like he did a few double legs and on costume I was like they're already warm that round he's had to second round when he just dove and I'm got my ground he's like he's stealing the round on yeah I actually did think Romero one before you simmer and but the weird thing is that like I was sort of watch that gone I almost hot Romero I tied one round warned the tight one round three I thought maybe cost warm round two but it was so close that I'm not sitting here feeling a grieves Romero didn't exactly do not think they should have made it a draw then maybe yeah but a draw doesn't really do anyone any benefits because they need the next contender for UFC 243 after out of tiny affords Whitaker so a draw doesn't really help anyone goes up yeah where does that Pell Acosta go from this I think he fights the winner of Adesanya versus Robert Whittaker I think I said post point that he was really ready for that yet those amount of time off and stuff yeah well like but who knows that the money's right like you know EFC 246 probably yours you know mean so it won't be for a while I'm sure he'll want to go over to Australian and show off them abs to other disease maybe so I suppose if he doesn't do that maybe if Jack Hermanson wins and you see Denmark if he wants to be a late minute replacement maybe you could do what embarrass he'd be Jack ray on late NOLA so yeah her Munson's name has been mentioned in a while yeah so maybe potentially so yeah no man we always say he who pisses last pisses hottest on like you know if the person who most recently fights is the person whose most recent most talked about I'm like they're the one who has a better chance getting taller shot that's a whole new percent correct we're going to the co-main event of the night until you Pettis was defeated by Nate Diaz also myself Ross said that we both heart Anthony Pettis will win and he lost quite Bentley as well and Atias was very impressive I broke his fault in the first round okay am so obviously da severely inhibited and boy look Nydia as far a really good game plan he sort of backed Pettis or obviously Paris isn't gonna be his goal gone backwards sort of got him up against cage true some good knees in there talking down to the ground a few times I was very impressed with like Pat us on the ground but I was also finger pressed Diaz on the ground yeah is one of those things where sometimes he gets on the ground unlike humans tell one person most better than the other but the scrambles were actually very interesting to watch yeah you're brilliant like going into this fight as well Chael Sonnen said he can't wait and he hoped that this would hit the ground and that knee made what I would opportunity on top and then Pettis would have an opportunity on top yeah and he caught that when I was watching I was like oh this is class because not just tutors who did a bashing you should remember at the end of the fight when the like at the end of the fight they were they were still scrambling and no no one had really warmed the exchange their boat like we wanted to let that go just to see who would've came out on top well Diaz says he always wants 45 rounds which I don't blame dr. Floyd goes on the more since so as in like at the end of the fight when their Republic's crab they're both scrambling just like no one ever warmed the scramble and they were like ah read themselves because they look they love the competition of the sport that's it oh yeah I loved coaching is he going all around I know I wish I was around yeah like the longer the fight went the more played into Diaz hand I thought at the end of like half a true the second round I looked at dr patterson man he's very hard looking very very hard and look sir look Diaz I'm once AG gun geez he actually looks Victorian which is very uncharacteristic of the ass but we actually said this training camp he actually trained more power techniques and he did like you want to push the pace a bit faster a bit quicker I'm do a bit more heavy pressure early on the fight because he sort of look at Diaz old for its he sort of fights I better 7080 percent pace being hard time I think he sort of went a whole new purse and ran warm and I had to like wheel it back a bit yeah well great performance from the last three years off and he comes back and wins like that great fight real great Floyd I think what a car they offer it's that's why I think when I was watching her I was like turn this up now 80s called a a mess without exactly as excited for the pose for you yeah what's called it view other walls for the actual for itself yeah well the thing is always so excited for this for you like obviously Romero and Kostas great as well but like you don't really understand them when they're talking bought Pettis first at the I was like ah this is gonna be great no matter what and then after deals like it calling out Jorge mastered all Oh water call it perfect call as Britain's I feel like the Conor share is just a waste of time that's always gonna be there for him where is they the Jorge he's a psych let's go and it's like yeah that's exactly what I want to see yeah I didn't see any Connor tweets after any the fights this weekend some of these doors do a few sheets and normally yeah it's quite reliable for tweet after like a point where it could be someone he fights but mass without Diaz I'm all about it give me that all day every day like yeah I couldn't be any more excited for those who I know what if UFC ever wants to do i pay-per-view main event that's non-title fight that's your boy do you think without honor than Nick supposing Nick Diaz was in the crowd you think they he'd be like my tada I know what I mean like I'm trying to flirt with the idea I feel like you for Nick Diaz come back to be like you know what GSP is back to yo man that's what Nate was asking his GSP I she retired wasn't he running back with Nick yeah yeah well I think we're living a dream world but I should have nothing breads with you above all mouths yes an eight one call out we're a mess without any ideas where that could be or like we want to see five rounds obese pros Madison Square Garden put it at the main event yeah I mean yeah cuz you're not gonna main event where Nunez first round me it's at 245 or 244 New York was I think you said 245 oh yeah I don't know what York yeah I think you said that was the event on in New York yeah well either or like I'm sure by eating for a headline and John Jones's want to fight in New York was apparently the taxes are too high yeah the campaign um yeah also Daniel Cormier losses TPP outage in the fourth round yeah by TKO I think it's obvious that Cormier was winning after first tree and then I think it just got sorted like the strength and just I think I think the soil is really played into a factor here and if you actually I assume most people who are watch the video watch the fight so Ram warm like gourmet one like ferry dis always feel like he actually picks the bay or paternal sit down I'm sort of held in there for me was like he didn't yes I was like oh my god especially when you see the height difference between Cormier and like to their heavyweights you're like Jesus that's mad I also I was very interested in this way steep he waited in like 230 pounds and corn me away 236 I was like Jesus that's the lawyers I think I've ever seen CB way and he looked a lot leaner Denis he looked like a smaller frame didn't he yeah he neck was bitten it was yeah it looked less thick than usual and I'm when I was watching for steeper it looked like he was like scared to get knocked out again and I think he sort of alluded that after the fight then I got around to and DC was winning exchanges that are on the on the feet it was actually John John with Esther day he was like grab his hands and their paunch them and then so we saw the same around three but like as the for it sort of got later into the round three like me oh just started landing some good punches yeah and then it got to round four and like DC's corner were like begging him to actually go back to the game plan they were like where is it takedown and why don't you put your hands up I felt that was like there was something in DC's head where he wanted a neighbor so I felt like he was like I think I'm doing this fighting I mean oh it would be very surprised I don't for me I came back and fought again I don't think there's an air form to prove know what a good equal dude the trilogy was Seebeck ya know like the first that wasn't actually fantastic for you it won the highest skilled headway for its have seen in very long time but I feel like he'd go in there and wrestle Stieb a five rounds and beat ya when you talk now like he held down and that was it and I feel like Steve a is actually not skilled enough to know let him do that yeah well I'm not really are seeing DC wrestling for five rounds well then I'm thirsty Bay you come over to tweet it say Cormier came up with an Instagram post saying that he's gonna make his mind up of next few weeks to see what he's gonna do he's 40 now people wanted him against John Jones that sort of doesn't look like it would happen unless you went down to low heavy weight again but like we want to see it heavyweight yep you don't see DC like one of the best mixed martial artists to ever do it where two losses and row exactly where as we ought to go for this thing because obviously when Cormier makes his mind up we'll let's just no I think it looks like to me Frances engaño next again and Gallio to and do anything with that is I feel like me oh just could be in garnish kryptonite I feel like if that boy was to be put together we all just train wrestling the entire time I just like get the best double leg takedown you can get and there's taken down for the entire fight train we're dynacord me the only thing with their arm a Francis and ganya was just like well pointers like that's it that is it what do you think the overall card what was your favorite for Jana I thought it was I talked to last week fights were just absolutely amazing and shocking and amazing I pulled a very good yeah it was it was the best card in a long time um I think we need that as fans to reinvigorate us to be like that's why we love the sport yeah because a lot recently and we've alluded to in a few previous videos that you see she's giving us one voice yeah I mean like stayin alive dr. Warren just watch Colby come to verse rub daughter actually that was on earlier boy was he okay me I mean like we're just saying up to watch warm fire all the time and we don't want to watch one point we want to be like entertain with four or five fights it's almost gone like the boxer model doesn't where you put your headliner off top and then you have Tom Dick and Harry you fought in below I mean I know I won't agree and then even like the stuff that came out in the week about Conor McGregor hitting some I'll add in a pub yeah terrible deaths by the way that happened back in April and stuff no it went all over noobs newspapers no was trending everything bored I'm happened months ago and I think you sort of he's that different sort of person right now I think he's like Royden the like animosity or anonymous wave until then he's like he's gonna pretend didn't happen and let's see what happens fair play for the elderly he took like an absolute champ yeah he was then hired yeah boy Bellator he's gonna help my Chokin but am yeah overall great week and a fights and it's sort of unfortunate the way this week it there is no UFC but there is Bellator on and it could be head-on but Matt Mitrione taking a surrogate carry tone off these two lads fought once before it was stopped like in the first round after Matt Mitrione caked cigarette carry tone of right in the bollocks it's gonna be on is better or two to five it's gonna be on a bridge Point Connecticut I think we all miss your home for the win here yeah same here good boy boy kicking the bollocks again I think there's a few other people on the car but we have to give him a special shadow to our mate Austin van afford he's falling on the card in the prelims hey hey mr.
