| 0:00.0 | What's up guys? Welcome back. I thought I'd drop in tonight, give you guys a quick little reaction to tonight's card. We have a new, a very young, very new, talented fighter on our hands. Look, we saw it, I think, in the Dana White Contender Series with Kevin Behales. But what we, I guess when you saw him there, you're like, okay, it's Dana White Contender Series fights. And I'm going to go two ways tonight on this whole situation. And the reason why I'm going to go two ways tonight on this whole situation is because there is, there's a lot of things to look at when I'm looking at the main event in this fight, is he's got a lot. He's got a lot of talent, a lot of of ability when you look at the guys that come from the |
| 0:38.3 | day and wire container series fight you know they've got to work on some things um but look he's been |
| 0:43.0 | because of his performance against um ilia clone i like that here we go yeah ilia clone man i mean like |
| 0:52.0 | a little bit yes i don't he's, he's just, he's built. |
| 0:57.5 | I know he's built like Ilya a little bit, but like he's got thicker legs, thicker |
| 1:00.9 | trunk. |
| 1:01.4 | I mean, we haven't seen him get tested in the wrestling just yet. |
| 1:04.4 | We haven't seen him, you know, have to go against, like, look, look at the way Charles |
| 1:08.8 | Olivera was able to out wrestle |
| 1:12.4 | max holloway and the way he did it okay and i think what happens is is when you take a look at |
| 1:19.9 | those guys that max has fought you go down that list of guys maxes fought i mean outside of brian |
| 1:24.7 | ortega there was no real threat of submission from any of those guys or wrestling from any of those guys. |
| 1:30.0 | And in this situation, like, well, Kevin, you know, if I look up the, if I look at these rankings, the guys in 145, which ones are there that are going to give him a really tough go in terms of the wrestling category? |
| 1:46.8 | You've got Mozart and i think you've got and you've got probably erin pico when he gets hopefully he gets into these |
| 1:51.6 | rankings here so but outside of that majority of these guys are stand-up you know |
| 1:57.7 | deigo lopez doesn't wrestle mainly a stand-up guy you know you've got lorone murphy all stand-up yoreoregis all stand-up guy. You know, you've got Lorone Murphy, all stand-up, Gairo and Rodriguez, all stand-up. Al-Jo, Al-Jo's the guy. So I would say Moves-Zar, you got Al-Joe, these guys. This is a group of them there that I think would get, like, I'd like to see how he does against, how Kevin does against these guys. Because you guys heard for, |
| 2:20.5 | you guys heard from me for years when I, you know, for like probably about those two years |
| 2:24.0 | that Hamzat was going through it all. And in terms of like, you know, being injured all the time |
| 2:29.7 | or being sick or COVID long and all those other things, I said, I just haven't seen a big |
| 2:33.6 | enough sample size on Hamzot. Then Hamza, you know, obviously had some great performances early in his career |
| 2:38.8 | and then had some ups and downs in terms of, you know, the Gilbert Burns. He got tired at the end |
| 2:43.1 | and then also too with the Kamar Usman. I just didn't see enough sample size. I didn't see |
