Obviously, but we'll get to a live reaction here on today's program. Okay.

Well, I'm assuming you want spoilers at this point. I'm assuming that that is okay with you. And with that, let's get this party started. So here we are. UFC 267. Let me pull my notes up here. If we can someone text me. What's up?

Okay. I sound good. Okay. Someone says my producer. Let me pull this up. Here we go. Okay.

UFC 267. This took place at the Etihad arena in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates. And let's start with your main event. Glover Toshera. Ready for this one. How about this?

Defeats Jan Blahovic via RearNakedChoke submission at 302 of the second round. He is your new champion. Glover Toshera is now at 42 years of age.

I initially wrote but then corrected that he was the oldest champion in UFC history. I think that would be Randy Couture of memory serves. I'm not sure who else it would be. But okay. So now Glover Toshera becomes your second oldest champion ever. And, you know, I was there in Baltimore when he fought John Jones and really didn't have a prayer that night. Remember that's when he got his arm wrenched going this way and stuff. And he was just a bit of a shut out. And I thought, well, that was his title chance. And now it's gone. And

that's a pity. But I wrote this and I really, really mean this. Glover Toshera is what it means. He exemplifies what it means to give your life to or commit your life, I should say, to the martial arts.

This is what it means. Obviously, he's a prize fighter and that takes things in certain directions. But what I mean is here is a guy who certainly has become a Jiu-Jitsu Blackbow. But I don't just mean like what titles did he hold in martial arts. What I mean to say is somebody who has routinely lived the values of sort of the martial way of discipline and honor and respect and introspection and working on one's mistakes.

And, you know, all of the things there, he's been that guy. That's the guy that he is. And it has paid off finally at the very last stage of his career. This is not the only time we've seen people achieve great things, perhaps the greatest things they've done at MMA.

In their very last sort of twilight moment of their career, Michael Bisping would be another one to ensure you can name several others. It does sort of go to show that something to be said for longevity in MMA, the ones who can do it and the benefits that are conferred upon him are those types of people.

But in the case of Glover Toshera, he doesn't get here without without that. He's very talented as a fighter. And as a fighter, he got pretty far up until today.

As those little exclude today's results for just a second, even with that, he had had a distinguished fighting career. But what put him over the hump is this doggy determination deep into his career about believing in oneself, having self confidence, but also reflecting for my dog comes in here.

Reflecting on the challenges of the journey, always trying to be a better version of yourself today than you were yesterday, being held accountable, working on all the small problems that you can just really being committed to a craft to a way of life and to an end goal and all of that merged here tonight with Glover Toshera.

So how did he end up doing it? I want to pull the numbers here and just admit it and I will. Let me pull that up as a matter of fact. So let's see, because I got to tell you I was a little bit surprised by some of what had happened.

If you guys had watched my mid event breakdown yesterday before I had an epic stream collapse, what you had heard me say was if you look at the historical record of takedowns that Glover has, he certainly was never bad at them. That was not a thing, but that it wasn't this like overwhelming force.
