[music] Hello and welcome to the Hammer. I am one of your hosts, Dave, joined as always by my co-host, Steve, and Greg cannot be here today due to Christmas party obligations, Merry Christmas to all of you listening at home, even though it's only December 8th. So we've got a great card for you for our show tonight. We've got a lot to talk about, three different cards and some news as well because it's been an extremely interesting week. This is a really busy week, a lot of cards, a lot of news, a lot of controversy, tons of cool stuff. We're going a little bit longer than usual, so bear with us, we promise not to ramble. So let's start with the upcoming UFC 124 because I think this is the news that everyone wants to talk about. We're going to start with a welterweight championship out, George St. Pierre versus Josh Costa. This is big. They fought before and obviously GSP won in fairly dominating fashion. Now Costa had a good round, it wasn't a blow, it was a 29-28. And that being said, the story of their original fight was, George St. Pierre beat Costa at his own game. He managed to dominate him in the wrestling aspect of his game, which at that point, Gostek was a fairly one-dimensional wrestler. Now Costa's since then has diversified and gotten a fairly powerful striking resume whereas GSP has diversified and become probably one of the best wrestlers in the division. Well yeah, GSP essentially schooled Kostek at wrestling, which is what Kostek went into that fight being really good at. And GSP is now an excellent striker too. It seems to me that... Well GSP was always an extra striker. He's become a better wrestler. Yeah, but all he's been talking about building up to this fight is how much he's trained his boxing, how much more effort he has put into that. If GSP was a scary striker before, he's like a nightmare now. And it's going to be a tough one for Kostek just because Kostek's good at a lot of things. So I think he's actually one of my favorite fighters. But GSP is probably better at everything that Kostek is good at. Well, with that being said, George Champerre definitely has extremely good takedowns and he definitely is very light on his feet and has a very, very good striking game. With that being said, the last couple of opponents that he's faced have not had the wrestling caliber of Josh Kostek. Chadwell Alves and Dan Hardy were much more vulnerable to takedowns than Josh Kostek is. I definitely think that Kostek can keep this fight on his feet a lot better than Hardy or Alves could. And Kostek is starting to develop enough of a striking game. If we know anything, St. Pierre can be caught, Saramash to pull it off, Kostek's got enough over right hand. I've seen him drop guys. I've seen him rock guys. He can definitely worry GSP on his feet. Oh, Kostek hits hard and he's also able to, he should be able to stay on his feet. But I mean, like Dan Hardy and Alves, they got taken down at Will. They won't do it to Kostek, but I mean, if GSP beat him so well with his wrestling before, what's it say that he can't do it again? Well, again though, Kostek is his improved sense in as a striker and I think he might be able to generate some points in the striking game to maybe go and keep in mind that before when they thought it was a three round fight, this is going to be a five round fight. This is for a championship. We know GSP has got a guy's tank, but so is Kostek. Do you think that Kostek can pull the point game, get enough of wrestling enough takedowns, keep the fight standing and try to wear GSP down and use the striking to generate points in the late rounds? No. And again, I say this as a huge Kostek fan. I would really like to see him win, but if he's going to win this fight, it's going to be early. He's either going to catch him like Sarah. And we say this every time it's a GSP fight, you know, oh, Sarah caught him. It's unlikely to happen, but Kostek may be able to do it, or you know what, he could take him down and he could ground a pound to finish if he gets him down early enough. The longer the fight goes on though, I think the worse it is for Kostek. Kostek's not riding out a five round victory. That's what GSP does and is great at. Kostek's going to do it, first two rounds. Now, I actually have a slightly different call. I think GSP is so cerebral and, you know, the being caught by Kost, by Sarah with such a wake up call for him, I don't think he's going to be caught in the first two rounds. I think he's going to stay out of any dangerous situations. He's going to look to get points in the first two rounds and try to keep this fight Kostek, although he does have an okay striking game, and he does have a good takedown defense, and the fight will probably go to the ground, and GSP is really, really good at submissions. Kostek's G or Kostek's submission defense is solid. He's only tapped out once in his first fight. He hasn't been tapped out since, but GSP's definitely going to look to test that. And I see that, to my mind, this is a fight that both fighters are going to want to go a long way. You know, Kostek isn't going to be looking to win this one quick, and GSP's not going to be looking to win this one quick. But if Kostek's down, but if Kostek's down three rounds, I mean, he's not the kind of guy who's going to hope that he can win those last two, because he's not paying attention to the scorecard. He will start going for knockouts at that point. Kostek can knock you out. You know he wants to knock out GSP. That is his best chance of finishing this fight. That is his best chance. But I think in the first three rounds, he's going to be looking to can I win one of these rounds? Because he did before in their last fight, and like, you know, knees to the body and punches to the body, because he can go to the body quite well. And then in four and five, if he's lost all three rounds, then he'll start going for knockouts and grounder pounds. But if he's one, one, or even two of those rounds, then we're going to see a different fight, because Kostek is going to be like, I think I might stand up there. My take-down defense is good enough that I can keep the fight out and point it out. Definitely. Well, if the wrestling's working, I don't think he'll stop doing it. And I mean, keep in mind, Kostek, yes, he'll fight reckless against, you know, rumble or against, you know, he just, he went right in and knocked out his sheet out like that. But against, go against Paul Daly with the title on the line, he can fight smart. He comes from a camp that this camp, if you ever wanted to train against GSP, you got Swick, who was going against QGSP, you've got Fitch, who's been trying to get a fight with GSP for two years. And it's a fantastic wrestler. And it's a fantastic wrestler, easily able to simulate GSP size and style. You've got Kostek, who's been trying to go against GSP for a second time, and he got Kane Velasquez there, who, if you're looking for a guy who's going to give you an idea of what it is to fight a dominant wrestler, you know, this is the camp to be trained away. Well, and a striker, like AKA, like, Kostek is training with the right guys, like having just, just Fitch and Velasquez alone are two guys that training against them will make you better in your entire game, top to bottom. So I mean, I definitely think that it's foolish to roll Kostek out. I think he's got the tools to take this one five, and I do think that this fight is going to go five. And I'm not ruling him out in, I mean, I'll say it, I've got money on Kostek. I love the guy. He's absolutely, he's absolutely one of my favorites. I think he has a chance of winning the odds on him are extremely long, which is also good if he wins. So what are your call to win this fight? GSP. GSP. But I will, I, like, just from, on, on papers, and there's, there's past history to go, to go on a previous fight, GSP realistically should win this fight, but Kostek is a tough dude, I don't think he's going to go into this with a dumb game plan. He's always someone who can knock somebody out. I think he's got a chance. I think he has a realistic chance. And I, I'd like to see it, but GSP will be a tough hurdle to, to, to jump over. And I, I think for like, for my call, I'm going to have to say GSP as well. And I don't think Josh Kostek has at all a realistic chance. I think that he's a good wrestler with GSP being a better wrestler. He's an okay striker with GSP being a great striker. And he has a few minor submissions and GSP is a busy to, to master. He's really, really good submissions. I see GSP being able to out point this one easily. I don't think it's going to, this one's going to go five in my opinion. I do think it's going to be a good decision, but I think this one's going to be an easy choice in a period of decision. I think it's going to be, if not 50, 45, at least 49, 46. Well, I look at GSP's last two title fights. And it was, was Alves and, um, Dan Hardy and Dan Hardy. And they, not all of those guys are nearly as well rounded as Kostek, GSP dissected those guys. This will not be that way. It will not be the level of dissection as a Tiago Alves or Dan Hardy. But I, like, you Kostek picks up a round. I think he's going to walk away happy and I don't think he's going to pick up a round. I think GSP is picking up all five on the way to a decision one. That's a realistic assessment. Okay. As you go forward to the second fight on the card, heavyweight stud Steven Strouve takes on Shawn McCorkel. Now Strouve is, um, a pretty tall, extremely tall, the comma sky creeper, six for 11. Not the sky creeper. Sky scraper. Um, he's really, really good at submissions with his long limbs and he's got to try to develop a fairly good Mai Tai game, but his chin's a little bit suspect. He's been working his stand up. He can take a punch, which is what's going to be very important in this fight because McGorkel is a monster as well. He's a monster in a different way. This guy is strong, strong, strong, and, and he can, he can strike like very, very well. And we've seen Strouve take serious punches. McCorkel could def, well Strouve, you've also seen knocked up by Roy. Oh, yeah. Roy Nelson did take him. Uh, now McCorkel is a much, much better striker than what Nelson is. He's very, very powerful. With that being said, McCorkel McCorkel has got a 10 and zero record, but his one win in UFC is by Ob is by Overmark hunt by R bar. That was so quick. He, he took him down and submitted him in like a minute, I think it was. So he does it. He's not like he's completely useless on the ground. Now Strouve's best shot on the ground, or he's on the ground, but I don't think McCorkel is going to be completely vulnerable to that. To my mind, I see McCorkel taking this fight, and I tell you why, Strouve has this incredible pride in his head. He's a young guy. He wants to show off. He likes to mix it up with guys and just battle it out with him and prove how much of a punch he can take and how much of a punch he can get back. But the problem is, is as much as Strouve can take a shot because he's so tall, it's hard to hit him clean, he is not a guy with knockout power. He cannot crush guys with his hands and feet. I think that if he gets into a stand up battle on McCorkel, as I've seen him with many times, he'll get pushed into the cage, he'll put his back on the cage, he'll start punching off the cage and McCorkel is just going to stand there and bawl on him and he's going to beat Strouve down. That would be a very bad game plan for Strouve. But I've seen him go in with that game plan. Oh, it's a game plan, he was likely to do and that would be a bad game plan. If this goes to the ground, Strouve has a much more developed ground game. He can win it there. I just, Strouve has to fight this very smartly if he's going to win this fight and it really just depends on which Strouve comes in the game. Well, to my mind is that Strouve needs to win this one by submission if he's going to win it. But McCorkel is not super vulnerable to submission and Strouve likes to try to brawl with guys. I won't want to brawl with McCorkel if I was a head-to-weight. Well, I see a real experience edge with Strouve though, despite McCorkel being 10 and 0. I mean, Strouve's fought some serious heavyweights and his losses have been to guys like Junior Dus Santos and Roy Nelson. He fights really tough competition and is used to being hit by really tough guys. I think he's gotten a real experience edge on this and I don't think you can underestimate that. So what's your call? I think it's going to be a really good big man fight. I'm going to call Strouve. Okay. Well, then we've got Jim Miller taking on Charles Olivier. Now Miller is a serious vet. He's 7-0. He's 7-1 in the UFC. His own loss is to Gray Maynard. That's a pretty tough assessment to make. And since it was a Gray Maynard fight, it was a decision loss. Oh, no. And then Charles Olivier, he is a... He's my hero. Incredible Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 8, he's 14-0. His two wins in the UFC have both been by submission of 45-second crushing first round win and then the duel with a scooter all where he managed to battle him for two rounds and finally pull off with pretty much a flying triangle. Not only did he beat Escadero, but he also, when he beat him, he sent him right out of the UFC. He choked Escadero out of the UFC. Now the reason why Olivier is my hero is this is his fifth fight in 2010. Like nobody fights five times in the year and he's winning all of these fights. Well, I mean... This is his third fight since August. Olivier came in on Spike TV card. He was on the fifth card. Now he's on the third fight. If he wins this fight, Olivier is making some serious waves in the division. I mean, we're talking if he wins five fights in a year, all by submission, the lightweight division is so gludded right now, I don't know if it's going to get him a title shot, but it's definitely going to put him seriously like one step behind Sodorropolis in my opinion. I was going to say if he wins this fight, it's him and Sodorropolis for the fast track to a title shot. Yeah. And I fully... Okay, and Miller is no joke at all. He's a well-rounded guy. He's tough. He's won a ton of fights in the UFC, but I think Olivier is a golden boy right now. I think Olivier, I mean, he's not quite what I would say the man in destiny that Kane Velasquez is. Oh, no, no. But he's on the fast track. He's got some serious skills. The submission game is incredible and he's showed in the Escadero fight that he's not afraid to hammer it out on his feet either. I call it Olivier or winning this one. I think this one's probably... If it doesn't go to the decision, it'll be a submission in probably the mid-third round by LaVira. And if he can beat Miller, that this is his biggest test today in the UFC, I think this is a serious feather in his cap if he can do this. So because Jim Miller is no joke. Now we go forward to another guy who's no joke with Joe Stevenson. Joe Daddy makes his return. Now he's got some recent wins over Stephen Kingfisher and Diaz. Now he does have losses to Sodorropolis, Sanchez and Florian. I believe this is the Sodorropolis fight was his last fight in the last spring, I think. It's been a while. He's been out for a while. He's been out for a while. But when you figure your losses are to George Sodorropolis, Diego Sanchez, and Kenny Florian, and you're beating Fisher and Diaz. He's the ultimate gatekeeper. He's the ultimate gatekeeper in this division. He can beat almost any guy below him and he can't quite crack that top tier. Now he's going to be taking on Mack Danzing and while Joe Stevenson is no joke, Mack Danzing is a joke. He is not really doing very well for himself. He is not nearly on the level of Joe Daddy. He's actually lost four of his last five fights and those guys had to beat him. This isn't like these guys who were getting beat by only the top competition. I mean he lost to Guida, which lots of guys lose to Guida. Everyone else is not even on the radar. So I see this one being pretty much almost all these fights I could see going decision. Joe Daddy, I think is going to win this one by TKO. Joe Daddy is enough of a technician. I think he's going to get this from the ground, advance that salivary and start dropping elbows on Danzing's head. And I see Danzing going out by TKO probably second round. I have absolutely no doubt that Joe Daddy will. Not only will he win this fight, he will KO Danzig. He will steal Danzig's soul right out of the UFC. And then Joe Daddy will get a raise up the card and probably lose to that guy. That's a story of Joe Daddy and the story of Mack Danzig. Joe Daddy is winning the right to lose to Olivia almost likely. We'll see what happens with that. But Stevenson is a good call there. And next, the Bulldog Talvo Alves will make his return after his slow-paced loss to John Fitch to take on John Doomsday Howard. He looked terrible in that Fitch fight. I thought he looked bad coming into the GSP fight. He looked infinitely worse against Fitch. Now interestingly, Alves is with maybe the exception of Fitch. He's the second most massive guy in Walter Waite. He makes a significant cut to get down there. He walks around. He is a beast. He walks around easy 195 that makes it 170 pound division. Yeah. To cut down 25 pounds to make it to 170. He's a powerful striker. He's got some heavy hands. But he's definitely got some holes in his wrestling game as he's been shown. Now Doomsday Howard, this guy, he's a puncher. He's a foreign one, he's only lost to Ellenberger, but in the sea. Yeah. You have to remember this though. I mean, he's a wrestler. He's a tough guy. But I mean, when he fought Ellenberger, remember his eye got swollen up. You know, look at G.T. He got his face destroyed by Ellenberger like completely. And if you think about Alves and how brutal the striker that Alves is, if the right Alves shows up in that cage, like Doomsday is going to be wishing he got beat up by Ellenberger. So what's your call for this one? This all depends on which Alves shows up in the cage. If a healthy Alves comes in there, he's going to eat him alive. If the Alves at the last couple, Chiao Guo Alves fights shows up, the one who's drained from the weight cut and looking slow and sluggish, then I think Doomsday will take him apart. Anyone would take that Alves apart. Well, it's all depends on how he shows up the way in. Well, after his last loss to Fitch, I believe Damien or Dana White said that that was Alves's last fight in the welterweight division, and he'd be going up the middleweight after that. Alves has apparently decided to defy the Dana White and come back to welterweight for one more bite at it. I think he's claimed that he has the right nutritionist now that he can get this weight cut down. You should not need this much effort to make your weight class. Yeah. So I think he's going to be the same story as Alves. He's going to come and drain, although he does have serious hands. The reason why he's got to cut so much weight is because he is not a particularly brilliant technical striker. He's not especially gifted. And he has some serious holes in his game. I think that Howard's takedown game is enough that he can put Alves on his back. Alves is not comfortable fighting off his back, and I think that Howard has got heavy hands. He can knock people out. I've seen him do it. So I call Howard winning this one. I think he's going to take on a drain to Alves and beat him up to win the fight. As I said, I can't legit call this until I see the Wands, until I see how he looks at the Wands. If he looks healthy and good, then I'm calling Alves by KO. If he doesn't, then if he looks like I expect him to show up looking, then Howard's going to take him down. Okay. So we go forward. Now the preliminary fights on this are going to be some guys you probably haven't heard of too much. There's been a lot of injuries, substitutions about it. There's a lot of injuries, a lot of substitutions, lightweights, Odenwood, Pat Odenwood will take on John McDexy, middleweights Jesse Bongfeld, he of the best name in the UFC, other than Forest Pets. He'll take on Rafael Mattel, and then the two welterweights, Matt Riddle will take on Sean Pearson and TJ Grant will take out Ricardo Omeda, best known for having his head almost popped off by Matt Hughes. Now, Pearson's a local boyfriend, Toronto. This is his first UFC fight. He's taking this fight. I'm very, very short notice, and hopefully he does well. If he does well, he might have a job in April. Now with that being said, we go forward to the UFC Lea livestream. Now these are the two fights that the UFC normally puts on Spike TV to try to convince you to buy the pay-per-view. Spike TV has got a special on for video games this night, so they're going to be doing this on UFC.com Live. So if you've got any computer, tune in to UFC.com, and they'll be playing these two fights live. It'll be Joe Dorkson versus Dan Miller. That'll be a solid middleweight battle. Dorkson likes to brawl, Miller likes to brawl too. Miller had a rough ruff through last year, but he's been looking better lately on Colin Miller to win this one. It's a good free fight. I'll go Miller as well. Yeah. Dork Bocek will take on Dustin Hazelet, Hazelet had a lot of submissions and a lot of talent. People were thinking great things of him. He got derailed. Now he I believe is cutting to lightweight to take on Bocek. Wasn't Hazelet previously a Walterweight? Am I misremember that? Yeah, and I just don't know how he's going to do in this fight. I think this is probably the right opponent for him. I think he's a head of Bocek. I think he's going to win this one. I think he can do this. I think this will be a decision. But though I don't know what you do with him. I mean his job might be in jeopardy if he can't get some sort of interesting submission here. So that's about all we have to say about that particular card. We're going to go forward and talk about the ultimate fighter we were finally and strike for St. Louis, but first some news from Steve. Well big news for us. We do this show live from Hamilton, Ontario and they just announced yesterday that the Roger Center in Toronto on April 30, 2011 is going to host UFC 131. There's no main event for this yet. I'm imagining they're going to wait to see what happens in GSP cost check before they make plans for GSP to fight on that card. That's all up in the air. Who knows? The fighter GSP doesn't get injured. I expect him to be doing that in this fight. This is a huge deal. I'm not just because you know we're in Toronto or outside of Toronto, but also this will be the biggest UFC card of all time. The Roger Center is enormous. The Roger Center is huge. They're expecting me to come close to selling it out. They're expecting this, they're all projecting this one to be the highest gate of all the UFCs. Now first they're expecting Montreal this weekend GSP cost check to break the UFC record and that it will be probably doubled at the Roger Center. This will be massive. I think it's going to be really cool that it's coming here. We get to go see that and to bring in the fan expo with them which I'd be really excited to see as well. Absolutely. What else do we have here? Oh, Bellator just signed a deal with FX, the cable network. They were on FSN, the Fox Sports Network, but FX is actually a much, much bigger network. It's actually bigger than Spike TV. So Bellator now has a TV deal in more homes than UFC has seen on. This is huge and with Strike Force really not being able to get its act together, having Bellator with a lot of eyes watching it and a good product. These guys may be the new number two. They're definitely making the right moves and they definitely seem to have a lot better management than Strike Forces had lately. So we'll keep an eye on that and keep you posted on that. Maybe you should see it. I mean if anybody wants us to start covering Bellator, seriously give us some email so we get enough of them. We'll start covering it. And Kenny Florian is supposed to be headlining the fight for the troops show in late January against Evan Dunham. I was really, really looking forward to that fight. Florian's got a bad knee injury. He's out. Melvin Guillard is taking his place in the main event. It's not really a fair trade, although it should be a fun fight. Florian versus Dunham is a pretty close fight. I think that Guillard versus Dunham, that's a little bit much. Guillard's last his last performance aside. He usually does look pretty good and is fun to watch. I actually think it will be a very good main event, but one that Dunham's pretty much going to take. We'll talk about that as it gets closer. And Falqueo. It's mequel, Falqueo. I can never pronounce this guy's name. He is the guy who had a really boring fight with Flash. Flash is a brilliance last month. He has a history of being torn off of opponents, having just too much aggression. He actually was just in Brazil talking about his win on TV, and the cops came for him. They had an outstanding a warrant for an assault charge involving a woman. He has now been arrested or whatever, but they've led him out of prison, and they've said that he is still on 18 months probation, and he's allowed to travel out of the country to continue his career. So as long as UFC will still have him, and I imagine they will, he can still come to the UFC and fight again. It's just a show. Falqueo might not be able to knock out Gerald Harris, but at least he can knock out his girlfriend. Oh, that's brutal. But yeah, I'm actually surprised that they're letting him continue in the UFC after something like this. But I guess we'll see what Dana says. I mean, Falqueo is not the first fighter with legal problems. Dana's usually turned a blind eye, as long as it's not a tremendous scandal. So I mean, the thing is with Falqueo, they don't like him because of that terrible performance against Gerald Harris. This could be the sort of thing, though, that if he's on the bubble, does he give the excuse to cut him? This could either give him the excuse to cut him when we might hear from that next week, or if he has bad performances next fight, he's definitely going to regret this. Cool. And yeah, that's all I got. Yeah. I'm sure that he is. Yeah. So that's all I got. Falqueo is definitely, you know, not my favorite guy. I think you should pretty much be able to see one way or the other. So we go forward to the Ultimate Fighter finale results from last Saturday. This was a pretty good card, and if you like decisions, because it had tons of them. Rich Antinito was defeated by Dave Branch by unanimous decision. These are prelim fights. These are prelim fights. Fredson Pacquiao versus Pablo Garza, Garza got the knock out by a flying knee. This was the only knock out of the night. So soon it was a knock out of the night by default. But it was a flying knee, an impressive knock out in short amount of time. After a few more seconds. The first round. So it was definitely a good flying knee. This is what that ex-WBC Magic brings to UFC cards. This would have been a knock out of the night, I think, even regularly, but... How could they not have found one minute of airtime to show that to us? Yeah, you would have hoped, but $30,000 for Garza, well done, sir. Now the first Phantomweight flight ever in the UFC was going to be World Camposano versus Nick Pace. Unfortunately, these fighters could not make weight, so it was a catch weight at 138. Pace however managed to defeat Camposano via submission with a modified guillotine choke. Unfortunately, because he did not make weight, he was not in the running for the submission of the night, and we still await the first Phantomweight flight ever. Sacco Chavitian versus Kyle Watson, these two guys were on the Ultimate Fighter Season 12. Just the one that was ending up, Watson managed to pick up a handy unanimous decision win. Chavitian looked okay in one round, but only one judge saw it. Tyler Toner was defeated by Ian Loveland versus unanimous decision. Now the last confession man, Cody Mackenzie, took on Aaron Wilkinson. This one was a great little fight. Cody Mackenzie immediately took Wilkinson down and kept working for his choke. Someone who is going for the guillotine choke, Wilkinson tried to fight him off, could not pull it off, but Kenzie got him submission of the night. Now Mackenzie has become sort of like this like the secret star from the Ultimate Fighter competition. People are really into the sky. The crowd loved him. He's got an awesome gimmick, I guess you call it. He's submitted a thousand guys with guillotine. No one ever sees a coming summaries, and he always beats them with it. He did it again on live TV. He's got another fight for the troops coming up. This guy is cool. I like him. People like Cody Mackenzie. The unfortunate thing is if you're a one trick pony, and you're one trick is a guillotine choke, man, lightweight is a tough division for you, because all the guys on the top of this division are guys with really good business, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and really good submission offense. I think that Cody Mackenzie is destined to get into that middle rank where people love him, and he can pull off and press the submissions once in a while over the middle-rated guys. And once you start going on to guys with Clay Guida, Kenny Florian, Sadaropoulos, Bendo. He will not be able to pull this on the cream of the crop, but I would be more than happy to see him do this to a few more guys. So this was a guy who did manage to make it onto the TV, and he picks up $30,000 for the submission of the night. Now we go forward to the main card. Nam Van versus Leonard Garcia. This fight was a very exciting fight. A lot of trading. Garcia is walking forward, punching for a lot of it. Nam Van was walking back and counter-punching for almost all of it. A lot of brutal florries, a lot of trade-off. Garcia got hurt a bunch of times. Nam Van got his eye cut really, really badly in the third round. This goes to split decision. This one was 29-28-29-28 for Garcia, 27-30 for Nam Van. I call this one as a split decision. I call this one as a 29-28 for Garcia, and I think I might be the only person who did this one. Three people on the planet called this fight for Garcia. Two of them were judges. One of them was Dave. We actually got into a huge- Four people. Who's the fourth? My good friend, Greg Jackson. Oh, right. Well, so Dave and I got actually a huge argument following the show about this. I'm like, "Dude, there's no way. How can you possibly think that the Nam Van had lost this fight?" Dave almost convinced me, but going back to watch it again, Dave, you're crazy. Well, Nam Van won every round of that fight, not just to every round, double the strikes. Basically the first round was close, and you convinced me the first round, very close, almost too close to call. I think you'd have to be blind. I think those last two rounds were for Garcia. Well, Nam Van definitely had the second round, and I had no argument with that. No third round, Nam Van definitely outstruck Garcia, but Garcia- Two times. Garcia was hanging in there, laying in good shots of his own until he gassed about two minutes and 30 seconds to the round, and Garcia did have a takedown in the round, so I ended up giving the round to Garcia off the strength to the takedown. I just can't give twice the strikes and twice the significant strikes, over one takedown, they kept a guy down for like 10 seconds. But I know what the judges are looking for, and I know that that's how they were going to judge it. I will give you that. I can see a bad judge seeing that as a round for him, but I just- Now the first- Yes, unfortunately. The first round, Nam slightly outstruck Garcia in body shots, but Garcia was definitely more aggressive in the fight. He was walking forward and pushing Nam Van back, landing shots. So I figured when you get a fight where it's 51 to 49, but the guy with the 49 is the one who's the aggressor and pushing the pace and starting all the exchanges, I figured the judges are going to give it to the 49, and they did. And the thing is, looking into that third round, Garcia came out, he was gassed, he was really, really hurt from the second round. He got punched a lot. He got punched a lot. But the guy with the towel, Greg Jackson said, Garcia, in the first 30 seconds of this for this round, you better use whatever gas you got left to get a takedown. Garcia did it, picks up the win. You got to figure the man with the towel was like, I think he's got the first round. Let's be, let's be sure. And that's how he got it. And it's a shame. But the crowd hated it, by the way. I've never seen them boo a fight. Maybe Hamlet, maybe Hamlet. Maybe Hamlet. Maybe Hamlet. [Laughter] This is much. So bad, right? But maybe that Mark Hamlet, that Hamlet, this big fight, might have had a worse crowd reaction. But in Dana White's credit, he was furious about it. He gave Namfan a win bonus as well, which is great, and said that it will not affect his placing on the cards at all. Absolutely. This is considered a win everywhere, but that won. Yeah. This one was, this was one of the ones where, you know, if you know the judges well, you could have called it. But it certainly wasn't an epic win for Garcia, by any manner it means. Now, I figure that the judges are going to go for him because the judges usually are going to like the name they know, the face they know, the veteran. In particular, because Garcia has a history of whenever he fights the Asian strikers who like to battle with him, he gets the decision wins over him. I'm just going to do it over. Thanks. I'm John. Yeah, I don't think he deserved that career in zombie win either. Garcia's got some serious luck. So Garcia picks up another impressive win, thanks to the man of the towel. So that was reason number one that I'm hating, officiating, and officials at this week. This was not a particularly great decision. I knew how it was going to go, but I certainly don't have any problem with calling Namfan, the guy who looked better in this fight than Garcia did in as much as Garcia gassed out pretty painfully after the first five minutes and looked bad for the rest of the fight. Now, with that said, we go forward, Johnny Hendricks versus Rick Story. The first round of this was really, really exciting, the nice two rounds were terrible. A lot of jockeying for position, a lot of grappling, not particularly exciting. I spent most of this by arguing about the Namfan thing. Yes, with me, by the way, I'm true to be right. And Damien Mya versus Kendall Grove, I said that this was going to be a fight where they just would negate each other and they would lie on top of each other for three rounds. For three rounds, Damien Mya lied on top of Kendall Grove punching him. The judges gave this one 2928, 2928, 2928, for Damien Mya. What round did Kendall Grove win? There's an argument for the third round. He looked okay in that round. I don't know if I would have given it to him, but... I mean, he looked okay in as much as he got taken down and beaten up, but not nearly as badly as in the first two rounds, but he certainly didn't look to be win into my eyes. Well, he looks slightly better in his feet, but I guess that only matters in that fight, not in the first one. Yeah, well, apparently. So Damien Mya picks up a win over Kendall Grove, as it was expected. Stephen Bonner versus Igor Pockrock, this one turned into be a bit of a brawl. Bonner managed to get Bockrock down when he needed to, though. He had showed much more to take down skill than he normally does. Bonner pounded Pockrock on the ground. This one ended up getting sloppy. Pockrock talked a point in the second round after getting a couple of knee shots to the head of Bonner while Bonner was down. Bonner was on top and waved off the stand-up and just said, "Let me keep punching him." And this third round, Bonner was Dr. Point for punching Pockrock in the back of the head a couple times with the legal strikes. Yeah, so this was messy both in rule violations and just from being a pretty fight or not, it was just... It was not fun to watch. Yeah, it was not fun. We watched 29, 26. Bonner won, as we expected. Bonner won, as expected. He beat no one, essentially, but it stopped his slide of, "Oh, actually, this is two wins in a row." But I don't think this proves anything about a Bonner comeback or anything. No, it just Bonner beat a guy that he needed to be. He just beat a guy. Yeah. So, and we go forward to the main event, Jonathan Brookings versus Michael Johnson. Now I said that the problem with Johnson is that he gets so excited and he gets so hyped up that he goes crazy in the first round and he keeps nothing left. Not to say he's got a terrible gas tank because that's true. He went all out in the first round, really rock brookins, looked very, very dominant. In the second round, he came out his multiple... I thought they were going to stop the first round. He was beating on brookins so much. So badly. He came very close to the couple of stoppages. That's like a punch that until 10-8 round. He kicked his ass. Yeah. Brookins kept his composure. Johnson came out breathing hard in the first round, brookins immediately took the fight to the ground and beat him up for the next 10 minutes. The judges gave it 29, 28, 29, 28, 29, 27. I didn't see any of the rounds for brookins being a 10-8. No. You know. He handled him... He handled them those last two rounds. It was not really all that exciting, but he used his positioning really well. He kept him down. He took advantage of the poor gas tank of Johnson. He deserved to win the fight, but it wasn't like some star making performance, I don't think. No. And the thing with Johnson is, if you're going to go crazy in the first round, you give me a fast starter. For God's sakes, go hit the weights. Learn to finish. Finish, definitely. Finish in the first round. You know, that's the difference between you and Karwin, my friend, is that Karwin has a terrible gas tank, but he doesn't go into the first round. No. Now, brookins has a steel jaw, though. He lasted nearly three, four rounds with Jose Aldo. This guy can obviously take a shot. Oh, brookins can definitely take a shot. And Johnson is definitely going to get a contract with the UC and be able to beat some of the lesser guys. But when you get guys with tough chains in the lightweight division, as a lot of them have, Johnson has not impressed me with his finishing power. He did not pray. He did not finish. And fan. And I don't believe he fairs. Aaron Wilkinson in that fight, which got Aaron Wilkinson back in with the wild card slots. So here's the thing, brookins. You got to finish. If you're going to blow it all in the first round, you've got to finish. So what's brookins future? He's on the card with Matt Danzig, who's probably going to get fired. He's a former winner. Does brookins have a future? More promising than that? Well, the thing is, Matt Danzig is being around for years before coming to the point where they're going to get him fired. I think brookins will have a couple of years. But in his UFC life, I mean, even looter, they were watching to fire the guy for a long time. So brookins is definitely going to be, you know, he's got at least five, six fights. I'm thinking the best thing for him. He's fought at 145 before. I think he should drop as soon as he possibly can down to 145 and take a fight at lightweight to see how you feel and if it doesn't go well, cut on down. Because he could be get star in that featherweight division. He's already going to be like top five in that division if he goes down. So and, you know, with that being said, one thing I'd like to just throw out there. We did a little bit of a commentary last week about how so many of the fights were going to decision lately and how so many of the top fighters have been choosing so much more often to go to decision rather than to try to fight it out. I just want to point out on this card, we have in the main card, one, two, three, four, five decisions and in the undercard, the prelim fights, one, two, three, four, well, one, two, three decisions of the five fights. So eight of the 10 went decision. Now, if we talk strike force, the show that ran head to head with that UFC show, yes, this is strike force. St. Louis. They aired last Saturday night as well. Yes. Now, fortunately, the strike force did not abuse us by showing us their undercard. They did show us. They don't actually, they actually don't tape their undercard. I just found that out. Yeah. There you go. So we have the five main fights. Now the first one was light heavyweight Spengi Radik versus Oven St. Prue. They like to call this guy OSP as if it was to refer to GSP. It does not in any way, shape or form. Now. He won. He won this fight. This was the one that went to decision 30, 27, 30, 26, 30, 25. Watching this fight, I told Steve, I turned or told to him, I'm calling the first two rounds, 10, eight and the last round of 10, nine, it should be a 30, 25. But the way that the judges see it, I don't think they're going to give two, 10, eight and one of them is going to call it a 30, 20, 20, I agree with you completely. I just didn't assume I would actually see it. Yeah. And I think only, and they, so I think they'll call it a 30, 26, even though it's really a 30, 25. Now, after this fight, I was shocked. One judge called it correctly and gave it a 30, 25. One judge called it as I thought they were going to call it a 30, 26. One judge called it a 30, 27. Now let me ask you this. In the first two rounds, OSP got back mount in the first round for three minutes, in a second round for four and a half minutes. He sat on his back and punched him in the face, what, 50 times, a hundred times? I lost count. Over a hundred times. Over a hundred times between these two rounds. And this is what may be angry because he got punched in the head without defending so many times in the time where all these, over all the sports are all like, oh, worried about concussions. And the ref left this guy get punched in the side of the head for like four and a half minutes. Let me stop the fight. Yeah, let me illustrate what back mount means. Benji Leradak laid on his belly completely flat with his legs out and his arms out over him. OSP sat on the small of his back and punched him in the face and the back of the head for three minutes straight. How is this a 10, nine? First of all, that's the most incompetent judging. If you're not going to give these rounds a 10, eight, you're not going to give anything a 10, eight. The must system is seven, eight, nine, ten. It's not nine, ten. The rest are afraid to use the whole, the whole span of it. You're incompetent. Don't don't judge ever again. Second of all, ref, if a fighter is in back mount for four and a half minutes, because in the second round, Benji Radik walked out, got slapped, fell on his face, OSP jumped right back in the back mount and punched him 75 times in the head. How is this not a stoppage? How is the guy intelligently defending himself? At what point did he advance his position and at what point did he ever block a punch? That fight should have been stopped three different times in the first half of the fight. This is just utter incompetence. I cannot believe that the first of all, the judge would ever give this a 30, 27, because there's no way you can't possibly see that one of those two rounds was a 10, eight, no matter how generous you want to be to the dude. Second of all, as a ref, your job is to protect the fighters. It is not to sit there and watch as one fighter gets punched in the back of the head with his hands down and his face on the mat. This was a curb stomping. Now not like back in the head like illegally, like he was legitimately beating him up. Yeah, this was devastating. I've never seen a guy get crushed as badly in the mix. I was like yelling at the TV, like stop, stop this fight. It's just such unnecessary damage for this guy. Like this, this is a level of beat down on the level of one early solo and pride, grabbing a guy and kneeing him in the face, this was ridiculous. Stunningly, Radix actually showed some life in the third round. This was the only round he actually looked alive. I was surprised. He was like Lazarus. I couldn't believe that this student didn't have like a brutal concussion after this and he may well have, we're going to have to look into his health, but this is stupidity. Going onwards. Oh, so bad reffing, another example of extremely bad, like officiating. Extremely bad officiating. Terrible officiating. Just picking fights here. And Antonio Silver versus Mike Kyle. Mike Kyle looked great in the first round, landed a beautiful right hand. Well, here's the story with Mike Kyle first is he's, he fights in light heavyweight as offensive fights in heavyweight. He took this fight against the giant, against like giant Antonio Bigfoot Silva and like it on what? I'm short noticed. A couple days notice. Comes into face like a like a top 10 heavyweight, a monster and he beat the crap out of him for like that, the whole first round. First round. I got punched a giant right in the face. Walked out punched a giant in the face, dropped him, jumped on top of him, kept pounding him. Silva looked almost to be going out at a couple of different points, barely managed to keep alive. Now in the second round, Silva managed to immediately reverse it, knock Kyle down, got on top. And the thing with Silva is he's a lot heavier handed than a guy who's 210 pounds. Silva knocked Mike Kyle and knocked Mike Kyle silly with hammer fists from the mount position and picked up a TKO win, deservedly so. So Mike Kyle loses, but first round looked pretty impressive. Keep that in mind though. Mike Kyle did indeed loss. Robby Lawler took on Matt Lindland. This is our big shame is last week, all three of us picked Matt Lindland by wrestling. I don't know. Let's listen back to show. I don't know what we were thinking. We all we all forgot he was 40. Yeah. I thought he was 10 years younger. Ruthless Robbie Lawler, we always underestimate for whatever reason we're sorry Ruthless. Lawler locked out, punched him in the face, knocked him out 50 seconds in the first round and well done. Lawler Paul Daly versus Scott Smith, I called us daily on this one. I said that Smith, as much as he likes to take a punch, you don't want to do that against Daly. I was proved right. We were Greg and I, we were questioning. We know that Daly is a tough guy, but we were questioning if he could knock out Scott Smith easily and he sure as hell did he knocks Scott Smith loopy two minutes. This is highly real worthy. If you haven't seen this KO watch it, Scott Smith fell right in his face. I don't know what was worse getting punched in the face and being knocked unconscious or his head when he hit the ground. Yeah. Like Scott Smith was walking forward and Daly hit him with a left hook. He just toppled. This was brutal. Daly looked to be back on form, so look for him to make waves on the welterweight division because he spent a lot of money to get him, so they're going to want to put him forward fast. And unlike in the UFC card, now we're two awesome KO's in a row. Yes, three actually because the silver one was pretty good too, but not like, not like the best of the year worthy like these other two. Yeah. And Dan Henderson versus Renaldo Sabal, Dan Harrison came forward, cocked that big right hand, managed to clip him with Sabral. Sabral went down. Henderson jumped to top position, stacked up still on top of him and just started throwing. Sabral gets KO'd by punches from the standing Henderson, one minute 53 seconds into the first round. So he beat the crap out of him as well. Dan Henderson looked really good. This is not exactly top competition. You know, Sabral is very good, but Henderson is still one of the best. Now yes, Henderson definitely, I expect him to win that fight. I think we all did. He definitely looked dominating, much more dominating and expected. And in a fight where the main card of the UFC was five decisions, this was three first round knockouts, one second round TKO and one decision that was actually a fairly exciting decision. And it should have been stopped in the first round. It should have been stopped in the first round. So, Strike Force really pulled out all the stops that night. So this was a very decisive card and no one watched it because it went up against the ratings on that. It was something like comparable if you do like the percentage ratings, but actual viewership. UFC did something like five or six times the viewers, which is kind of too bad. But the Strike Force show was actually very entertaining. It was entertaining. It was decisive. It was fun to watch. Some stars were made. Robbie Lawler and Paul Daily definitely looked to be there going to get moved forward because of this. You can give title shots. There's an argument for title shots for the four winners of the main four fights. Antonio Silva did trying to call someone out, which to me is madness. He said he'd fight anyone they put him in there with. My friend, Fabrizio Verdume just said, "I don't want to fight over him. I want to fight Fedor again." Fedor is not taking any fights, say, "Hey, if Fabrizio doesn't want over him, I do." Daily, on the other hand, he comes out and he's like, "You know what? I want to also fight with KJ Nunes. I want to be him. Then I want Diaz." Like, Daily knows how to work this. Daily is definitely going to be, with the exception of the fact that Tyrone Woodley has probably got next by the virtue of being in there. No, no. They won't even let that dude off of Strike Force challengers. He's not headlining any pay-per-views soon. There's a future for him, but they are moving him up so very slowly. Yeah. You know, Paul Daily and Tyrone Woodley are the two guys to watch the division. Paul Daily will probably get there first. Absolutely. And I got to say, one of the fights I'm most looking forward to, if it actually comes through, KJ Nunes vs. Paul Daily, I'd pay money to see that. Put that on pay-per-view. I would pay. Yeah, that'd be exciting. One. Dan Henderson won a crushing victory over Renato Sabral. Now, all throughout the show, and let me just say something, Henderson is known for his right hand. Some people call it an overhand right. Some people call it a punch. I have watched Henderson in the UFC. I have watched him him pride. At no point in the dozens of Henderson fights that I have watched, has anyone called his right punch an H-bomb? Yeah. Boror and I'll load this Strike Force commentator. He was trying to get H-bomb over as a finishing move punch name for Dan Henderson. So hard. Nimwit called the right hand punch an H-bomb five times in the one round, which when we went less than two minutes, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. If after he knocked him out, he's like, oh, they should call that punch the H-bomb, but to be pushing it, the entire fight, it was just so sad. He said they call his right hand the H-bomb. Pat Milletich, the actual competent commentator, turned around and said, no, it's actually called a punch because of an overhand right, you dimwitted fool. And then as Henderson is standing over him, punching him, he yells H-bomb. Yeah. I just want to point out that the punch that knocked Sabral out was in fact a left hand from a standing position, which in no heavy shape or form was an overhand right because it was not even noticed the hand. And then the actual right hand missed by more than a foot because it looked like Henderson was like, oh my God, I might kill this man and pull his hand up. So first of all, we have to be careful with the H-bomb and like you don't want him to be collateral damage. First of all, the commentary, this dude is an idiot, please fire him. We know you hate Marlon. I can't, this guy, oh, I loathe him so passionately as Miss Manus. Second of all, throughout the entire show, the entire show, they said, who should be the next contender? They were doing a text message, like pull for the chance. For Jacarissa, is that the light heavyweight champion? Who should be the next contender for the Light Heavyweight Championship? They give you five choices. We've given you, we've given you four choices. We're going to give you, can surely take on King Mo Lawwall, the guy he beat, Gagard Massassi, the star of the dream tournament, the phenom, or she take on the winner of Henderson versus Sabral, Dan Henderson, obviously the former Olympian, a hero, a legitimate option. Or should he take on Mike Kyle? Mike Kyle, who, sure, he does fight at Light Heavyweight, and sure he's a solid fighter, but this is after he got annihilated by Giant Silva in the second round. Now, Dave showed this over the first fight, and they showed this in between rounds for the Antonio Silva versus Kyle Fite, Kyle did very well in the first round. And so the crowd, they, they're the people at home, they all texted, you know, Mike Kyle, Mike Kyle won this poll, 39%, Henderson won it with 34%, Mike Kyle won the poll. He lost his fight to Antonio Silva. Now, I'd like to point out, now if Mike Kyle beat, if he had beaten Bigfoot, then I'd be like, oh, my God, I would be like seriously, I'd join his fan club, I'd buy his t-shirt. Mike Kyle won this poll after losing his fight to Antonio Silva, losing decisively, I should add, let me just point out that Brett Rogers, after losing decisively to Fedor, got a shot at overing. Oh, it's not unrealistic in strike force for the losers. Fedor after losing. Fedor after losing a decisively to Fabrizio Verdume, they're talking about putting him with overing, Mike Kyle is now going to continue this over this tradition of failing your way to greatness in strike force by, after losing to Antonio Silva, probably getting a title shot at your care. Yeah, no, you know, despite the poll results, that's not official. I, they'll, they'll give it to Henderson. But you know what, but showing on there that you're not interested in head that the crowd isn't as interested in Henderson, it's just ridiculous. Yeah, you either have the choice of saying, okay, we're going to disrespect the fans who just voted in, and we're going to give the Henderson anyways, or you're going to say, okay, we're going to honor the fans and give it to a guy who just lost his fight when Henderson dominated his opponent. And as the guy we're paying the most money now, the results of that poll came in before Henderson annihilated, uh, subrall. So you know what, if they, if they put up the results at the end of the, like afterwards, then I think the, the home audience would have chosen Dan Henderson, but to show it before his fight, it'll, it'll be Henderson. It'll be Henderson. Well, it certainly should be Henderson. If it's going to be my call, I'm going to laugh. Strike force, I've always said the promise strike force is that they're run by incompetent monkeys, possibly flying ones like from the Wizard of Oz. So, uh, speaking of a incompetent monkeys, we're way over time today, but, uh, we've got the time to spare, so we're going to do it. The jail son in, uh, hearing for his drug suspension came up this past week and he went before the Nevada State Athletic Commission. And there's supposed to be five, like, commissioners there to, you know, to, to vote on this. Well, one of them partway through the, uh, the whole ordeal, he's like, oh, I got to catch a flight and he left early leaving four people to judge jail son in state. Well, they couldn't decide it was two people four. He doesn't need to have a sentence at all. And two people four, the 12 months we originally said, we'll stick. They couldn't decide. They couldn't decide. Then they were like, oh, well, we'll just meet in the middle. Six months. How arbitrary is that? Well, one guy had to leave. He was a tiebreaker. This is how justice works. Where does he have to be? His job? His job is to, like, moderate MMA events. Like where, does he have another drug failure to, like, in, like, somewhere else he's got to be at? More high profile than jail son in. That took, that took precedence. Completely ridiculous, but, you know, jail son and I felt bad for the guy anyway. He had to go up there. And I think he's lying through his teeth, but he had to go out and say he's, he was taking testosterone because he never went through puberty and that he suffers from hypogoninism. So he kind of pretty much had to go up there and make horror, like, like embarrassing lies about himself to get him back in there. You know, I would have never thought that jail son had failed to go through puberty, but now that I know that, it actually kind of explains a lot. Now, really, he's very sensitive, but what did you do to think? Now this is, this whole thing is like the third on my list of just horrible, like, like official, official MMA stuff this week, but I didn't actually watch this whole thing. I watched about 20 minutes of it and I had to turn it off. They streamed this on the internet. It went for hours, but one of the commission members, when somebody mentioned Dana, they're like, "Who's Dana?" No, Dana White. Who's Dana White? The people who are deciding these sentences and these punishments and these rules don't even know who Dana White is. Well, really, why would you? Dana White isn't really not that important in the nation. How important is he into the mixed martial arts business? Yeah. So, yeah, there's, I think, you know what, I think that maybe Dana White and Scott Coker should be in charge of the entire industry. All these commissioners and these state F-other commissions, their job is to keep Dana White and Scott Coker and all the promoters and all the organizers and all the fighters in line. They are not qualified for this job, like the prisoners are the ones running the asylum. They know what's going on. They should be in charge. Well, the thing with the mixed martial arts is, the growth of this sport has outstripped the growth of... The governing bodies. The governing bodies. So, we now have rafts. We don't know how to raft a UFC event. They don't know what moves are dangerous and what moves are not dangerous. Judges who don't know how to score. Judges who don't know he's a must system and they're still used to the boxing methods of where promoters come over and yell at them for giving draws on 10/10s and 10/7s and whatnot. And you have a governing body where during... A very important trial. A very important trial. Of a guy who's the number two rated in the world in his division said, "Guys, this is really, really boring. I'm going to fly away." Literally flew away. Yeah. He actually flew away. He actually flew away. And one of his cohorts said, "Who is Dana White?" In a trial where he is judging mixed martial arts he said, "Who is Dana White?" Why are these people heading out punishment? I'm not going to make the call on if Chelsea should be guilty or shouldn't be guilty whatever but... And then all of that. Why are they? Also, just throw this out there. Chelsea and his defense was, "I need to take steroids because I didn't go through puberty." They gave him a... They cut his senses in half because they deadlocked two of the judges. Said, "You really probably didn't go through puberty. Let's not give him a sentence." I'm going to break it to you guys. Chael Sonnen, he went through puberty. I wasn't there but I did not see him go through puberty but I believe he did as well. You know, I have every reasonable suspicion to expect that the number two rated middleweight in the world at some point during his 33 years on his planet underwent puberty. You saw him time before he married a woman. I totally agree. There's so much worth since going on this week. It's so bad. On every single level, there's been such poor, reffing, judging athletic commission dudes. It's terrible. They've got to reform all of this from the top down. Let Dana White make the rule book. I actually would have no problem with that. I wouldn't want Dana White alone to make it. Not alone, but there's certainly people more qualified than these fools. Honestly, if you don't know your job, please don't collect a paycheck. Just know, show it. Have the greatest. Let the guy who's actually passionate, you know, "Why am I not on an athletic safety commission?" You know what I know? I know Dana White is and I know that Chael Sonnen went through puberty. I think I'm more qualified. I've proven that I'm more qualified than three of the judges of the five. I Chael Sonnen's trial because one, I know who Dana White is, two, I didn't believe I didn't do it when through puberty, and three, I wouldn't have flown away from my job. You didn't have some. We're better to be. Yeah. So I may have even been more qualified than four of them because two didn't believe they didn't believe they didn't go through puberty. One didn't know who Dana White was and one flew away, so there's one guy there who actually barely knows his job. All right. It's a big clown show. We know that. So yeah, this is too bad. I hope things get fixed up. On the plus side, this weekend, on the plus side, we're going to have GSP to watch on this weekend, and Chael Sonnen with only six months of suspension, he'll be back before the years off. There's some good stuff going on.
