Ooi, it's your boy, the Michael Morales of Terrible Parles.

0:06.4

Jack Slack, it's the Jackslaq podcast, and we're coming at you following UFC 322, bangers almost all the way up, and 1172, which is still ongoing at the time of starting recording.

0:21.6

I'm dipping in and out of it.

0:22.6

Yukios has just beaten Superlek, which is huge.

0:25.6

Um, and Ubank versus Ben 2, 4, whatever that is, but I haven't watched that yet.

0:32.6

But it's my job to touch in and talk to you about the fights that happened, well, mainly

0:37.6

UFC fights that happened.

0:38.9

So I've got some pretty good stuff on this card, actually.

0:43.2

Main, you know, you think you can't get around, main event, blown away by Islam Makachev.

0:48.3

I've been saying for a while he's like one of the most skilled fighters I've ever seen.

And the move up to Welterweight is a big one because a lot of the time he is seen as in Habib's shadow.

1:15.0

And Islam did it and he looked phenomenal.

1:18.4

This is also quite nice because I feel like there was too much bollocks about the undefeated

1:22.9

record.

1:24.2

Islam Akadjev is easily the best fighter out of that camp now, even though his cousin... Oh, no, Umar lost to Mrab, didn't he? But the undefeated record was being like, heralded is the most important thing, and it just isn't. Well, this was a good fight, because if you know anything about Jack Delamadena, you know he's a good fighter. If you'd seen him fight before on the ground, you know he's a tricky fighter.

1:45.0

And one of the reasons that this impressed me more than the Chimaev Duplessi fight is that Duplessi resigned himself to bottom position a lot of the time and then just sort of held Hamzat to him.

1:58.0

And then Hamzat didn't really try and strike. So aside from the moment at the

2:02.8

start of the round where he had to get the takedown, it was just sort of cruising to a decision.
