Oh my, oh my.

0:02.5

We have ourselves a new middleweight champion and man.

0:07.6

Not what I expected.

0:09.3

Not what I expected.

0:10.7

I mean, oh, oh, man.

0:14.3

What if I mean like, look, it was a good fight.

0:16.6

I was griping on Sean Strickland at the end of the or in the middle of the third round. I'm yelling and screaming at the at the TV. You got to go. And I even did some videos for, for IG and for X. Man, Sean, if I'm his coaches and I had friends text me, man, if you're his coach, man, you've got to be just pulling your hair out because he because he's not pulling the trigger, snapping the jab, snapping the jag. I'm going to be honest with you. I thought, Jami, have won the fight. And I had money on Sean to win in, to win a decision and to win, uh, to win by TK or K or DQ in rounds four and five. I had a lot of money on that.

0:58.2

So I actually came out pretty damn well on top of Sean winning,

1:01.9

but I also hedge my bet with Chamaa to win by submission in the first two rounds.

1:04.5

It's wild, man.

1:10.5

It's extremely wild to think it was a close fight, but I actually, to be out, like I said, I gave it to, I am I, in my, in my, in my score course, and I know a lot of people said all week, Josh, man, you're a Hamzot hater. You guys have called me a hater before in the past. Let's be honest, everything that I said was 100% true after round two. And this time it wasn't even after round two. He has a tendency to get tired.

1:28.9

But Sean led him back in that fight in the third round.

1:33.0

And I thought, to be honest, I thought that Sean Strickland made that fight a lot tougher than it needed to be.

1:39.3

If he would have stepped on the gas, walked forward a little bit more in that second and third round, I think you would have, this probably maybe not have went to the, to the scorecards. He just chose to leave him inside, let, let Hamz not stay in the fight by just tapping him, tapping him with the jab. You've got to pull the trigger more. Look, I know he won the title. Got to tip my hat to him, man. Great performance. Great job.

2:01.5

Definitely, it definitely wasn't something that I didn't see this fight going the distance, to be honest.

2:07.6

I thought Hamzot would get the submission in round one and two.

2:10.5

I bet on that.

2:11.2

It was a plus 350 and a plus 650.

2:13.4

I bet on that that I hedged it with Sean at a plus 4,500 to win by TKO and or KO or DQ in rounds

2:23.0

four or five. That didn't happen. But it was a plus 1,200 to win by decision for Sean Strickland.

2:30.8

So damn, big time, big time. So I got lucky on that one as well. So I didn't bet much though. Just to be honest, because I really did. I was really concerned on Hobbs lot cardio going past round two and three, which showed tonight the fact that Sean realized that he wasn't shooting and that he didn't put he wasn't pulling the trigger more on the feet. That scared me as the fight went the fight went on we ultimately Sean fought a good fight and ends up being the middle way champion

2:54.2

great job by him but uh if you guys are watching at home i mean what were your guys's thoughts
