Summary

With UFC 263 in the books, Chael discusses Israel Adesanya's impressive improvements on the ground, but also points out that the fight with Marvin Vettori wasn't as lopsided as everyone thinks. Plus, Chael wonders what makes sense for Nate Diaz next (25:24), if Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal must fight soon (12:48) and if Deiveson Figueiredo should jump up to 135.

What's happening guys? Happy Wednesday and thank you for joining another special episode

0:12.4

of your welcome. I'm back from Arizona and guys I got to tell you it felt so great to

0:17.1

be back in a jam packed arena for UFC 263 coming up on today's show. I'll talk about

0:23.9

what we all saw on Saturday night like Nate Diaz is near comeback the first Mexican-born

0:30.3

champion and of course another title defense for Israel, Adesonia.

0:41.6

Adesonia versus Vittorri guys I saw something else. I saw a close and competitive fight. I saw

0:48.5

a fight where they were trading rounds back and forth and when the fight was over I was

0:52.1

very sure that Adesonia won because in a worst-case scenario it was two to two going in to the fifth

0:58.0

and he won the fifth but I still saw a fight where I need to hear what Bruce Buffer has to say. I

1:04.9

don't know and I only bring that to you because it was 50-45 that is fiction. That was not five rounds

1:14.2

Adesonia and I even read on the dirt sheets that I go to the manias and the elbows the easy night

1:19.7

for Adesonia things like this were saying are you kidding? What fight did you possibly watch? That

1:24.4

was back and forth. That was not an easy fight for Adesonia. Adesonia did two things that were

1:29.4

remarkable because don't forget this is a rematch and we're only here to find out one thing

1:33.8

between you two boys who got better. That's the question. Split decision the first time which one

1:40.3

of you got better. The last time they fought was 2018 by the way what a fun fact they fought

1:45.6

the exact same arena. How do you like that? They fought in the same arena but three years later who

1:51.1

got better? Okay that answer is tangible which was Adesonia but particularly on the ground. He

1:59.8

was taken down four times. Two of those four times he got back to his feet. The other two he reversed

2:06.7

the position. So now you have a decorated kickboxer who was taken over the MMA game who was in the

2:14.0

dominant position on the ground two of the four times it went to the ground. That is meaningfully

2:19.6

different than the first time they fought. But to make believe or for anybody to write an article
