| 0:00.0 | The UFC ended the pay-per-view era last week. |
| 0:04.4 | And this week, we were ending the era of the ESPN. |
| 0:07.5 | And looking forward to what's coming up in 2026, we have CBS, Paramount, and all the new things |
| 0:13.3 | that potentially come with making these guys stars on a free platform. |
| 0:17.6 | So I'm excited to come. |
| 0:19.1 | I'm excited to see what 2026 brings, but we're closing out the |
| 0:23.0 | ESPN era this Saturday night for another UFC Vegas. And I got to be honest, last weekend delivered. |
| 0:29.9 | Every fight was fantastic. There was a couple in there. There were knocked down dragouts. There |
| 0:34.8 | was a couple that were great trades. They were the slobber knockers back and forth. |
| 0:38.5 | And that main event delivered from beginning to end, high level competition. |
| 0:44.1 | You had Marab and Peter Yon, they just came out and let it all hang out. |
| 0:49.9 | It was a spectacular fight at 135 pounds for the title. I guess the question is, who's next? But my man, Podcast Davis, joining me tonight, and I'm solo. But we're heading into the holiday season. There's my man right there giving me the fist bump. Right, he's doing that jersey store stuff. Oons, oomts, oomts, oomts. All right? So, look, we're going to close out the year with the UFC Vegas, |
| 1:11.8 | and it's going to be Brandon Roy Vaughal versus Manal cop. |
| 1:14.7 | I think this is going to be a spectacular fight. |
| 1:17.3 | Manal sometimes has a, you know, sometimes he doesn't fight to his potential, |
| 1:21.8 | or he kind of just kind of dictates the pace of the fight and just doesn't let it hang out. |
| 1:26.4 | But I think in his dance partner |
| 1:28.1 | and Brennan Roy of all, he's going to bring it out of him. He's going to really pull the fight out of Manal cop. And I think this fight right here has the potential of being probably a fight of the year candidate. Manel cop, he will be in there and he's fast, explosive, he's got power, he's got a little bit of wrestling, okay? And he doesn't use it as much as he used to earlier in his career. But man, is he explosive. He is fast and he's got big power when he lets it go. But Brandon Royval has got a granite chin, and he showed in his last fight with Joshua Van that, look, man, he's willing to stand in front of you and trade shots so i'm looking |
| 2:01.8 | forward to seeing how brandon roi volg gets himself back on track against somebody that who's very |
| 2:06.5 | elusive very fast he has great footwork and we'll probably try to keep this fight on the outside |
| 2:12.4 | and just jump in and jump out like he's been doing for the most of his for most of his career in |
| 2:17.1 | ronel cop brandon roy ball though is somebody who will push this pace and he will try to really |
