How do you feel when you switch to Geico and save on your car insurance? It's like going to work

0:05.2

on one Thursday morning and thinking to yourself just one more day until Friday. But then somebody

0:11.3

in the elevator says, happy friday. Then you check your phone quickly and discover today is

0:16.7

actually Friday. So yes, happy friday, random stranger in the elevator. Happy Friday indeed.

0:24.1

Yep, switching and saving with Geico feels just like that. Get more with Geico.

0:33.8

What's happening, guys? Happy Friday!

0:38.7

And thank you for joining another special episode of your welcome.

So Chandler and Gaechie just happened and wasn't totally the outcome that I would have predicted for you. Now, before you say, hey, Chale, you got your dates wrong. I'm talking about in this regard, Kiesa versus Magni, stylistically, is Chandler versus Hooker. And a big problem that I've had, just in terms of a question mark, right? I mean, this is between those boys. This is between those two. But for what I'm sitting and listening to the pro-chandler crowd that is saying Chandler is going to take him down and keep in there, I'm scratching my head and going, guys, we haven't seen the takedown keep you down since 2003. Guys just scrambled too well. They get up. Endurance has changed. The effort it takes to execute a proper takedown is such an exertion

1:29.9

that we're not seeing guys able to do that, not to mention the defenses have caught up with the

1:34.6

offenses. I mean, there's a reason, there's a very good and logical reason that you can take away

1:38.9

the whole, I'm the powerful wrestler, I'm going to take you down at will, and you've got to trace it

1:42.7

all the way back to the very early turn of the century, quite literally. But we saw it today, so perhaps we need to have our eyes a little bit more open. I did not think that Kiesa could take Magny down that many times. Because now you're talking about taking him down at will. Not only did he take him down that many times, guys, I don't know that Kiesa tried to take Magni down and fail. And I just watched the fight. I don't remember him failing. He was able to close that distance. He was able to hide it with some strikes. He was hitting that T.J. Dillishaw, step around trip to that double. One of my favorite takedowns. I learned that from T.J. Dilashaw, but you're seeing so many guys started to execute it. I

2:17.5

personalized myself was working on that because of T.J. In the gym, I was having great success. My career ended. I ain't going to go out and hit it, but really great take-down. I saw Kiesa doing this, and I bring that to you because if you look at the offset in wrestling, on paper, the offset in wrestling between Kies and Magni,

2:16.1

it is very equal to the offset and wrestling between kiesa and magni it is very equal to the offset

2:36.2

and wrestling between hooker and chanler as is the reach disadvantage and deficit that kiesa had

2:43.1

to deal with it's very similar to the reach deficit that chanler is going to deal with i mean in many

2:48.3

ways we just saw hooker and chandler fight so i think that there's some things that likely chandler is going to deal with. I mean, in many ways, we just saw Hooker and Chandler fight. So I think that

2:51.7

there's some things that likely Chandler is going to be inspired and juvenated by, but I also think there's some things that Hooker is going to be able to learn without even getting in there with Chandler yet. There's some things that Hooker's going to see and say, I don't want this to happen to me, here's what Neil could have done different.

2:48.6

That could be wrong, and those guys are so knee-deep at a quarantine

2:51.8

and Fide Island and thinking about their weight cut and finishing up their media and stressed out of their mind about this competition, but they are able to digest and they did able to take that in. I can assure you that Chandler and Hooker agree with me that stylistically, fight just happened and I bring that to you

3:24.7

also to shine up kiesa's wheels I mean kiesa is on a new streak with a new birth a new fresh

3:31.6

coat of paint over him and he is looking so good optimizing and capitalizing on that
