What is going on, y'all? We are back another edition of NoBetsBard this time for UFC

0:22.8

Apex 76, Strickland versus Maga Medov. Up to the one we've all been waiting for. Yeah, this is the one matchmaking

0:37.2

Borrelion completely understand why they did this. We're back at the Apex.

0:43.2

How does it get for fights in the world? Yeah, I mean, can it get better? Can it get better?

0:51.7

I'll make a sales pitch to you on this one. I'll make a sales pitch and you know what? I'm just

0:56.4

gonna go ahead and do that right now. First and foremost, it starts at four o'clock. I think that's

1:03.6

something we need to highlight here. Six card, six fight main card. That's just a staple of the Apex.

1:10.8

I love when they do that. Top three fights are pretty sick. The matchmaking is weird in the main

1:20.5

event, but that doesn't make it any less of a huge fight for Sean Strickland. This is a huge fight

1:25.5

for Sean Strickland. If he loses, he may never get a title shot. I mean, it certainly is important

1:32.0

that he not lose, but we can get into what he gains with a victory. But yeah, you know,

1:40.2

Abyss, I mean, listen, Abyss Magomedov is 25 and 4. Magomedov, Magomed, we're putting the name

2:18.0

here and he starches Sean Strickland around one or two, yeah, I'll be like pretty, I don't know if

2:26.5

I'm going to say excited, but I'll be like, I'll be interested. I'll be interested.

2:34.0

It will be an interesting development because Sean Strickland is pretty clearly a top 10 guy.

2:39.2

So that's Magomedov will now be a top 10 middleweight. I'll still have a million questions about him,

2:45.3

but it's just a weird fight. It's a super weird fight. I don't know why we're doing it,
