You know, I was trying to get you at the, trying to get you join me over at the LSU game last |
| 0:21.9 | year, LSU, NM game. Couldn't get that to align either. You know, I was trying to get you at the, trying to get you, join me over at the LSU game |
| 0:21.6 | last year, LSU, Texas NAM game. Couldn't get that to the line either. You had to fly out that night and very unfortunate. But hey, man, we will do it one of these days. I appreciate the love, man. I appreciate the respect. And, uh, bro, you've been doing it a long time. Hope you have an awesome retirement. And, brother, it was always a pleasure of watching you fight. I had |
| 0:39.8 | nothing about respect for you. You know that. Train with you, worked out with you. And you've, we've made you, I wouldn't, in a funny way, you made me bleed my own blood, kind of thing. But, man, I appreciate the kind words and uh man a great show great show on the rogan |

| 1:04.6 | soon um podcast davis joining me tonight we've got someone else going to join us again later on |
| 1:10.2 | in the evening uh probably the next 30 minutes or so it'll be ben the bane again he's going to jump We've got someone else going to join us again later on in the evening, |
| 1:11.1 | probably the next 30 minutes or so. It'll be Ben the Bain again. He's going to jump on and we're going to talk kind of the stuff that's going on with MVP, also too, the White House card and the MVP card in comparisons. Look, guys, let's not blow this all out of proportion. There's no, there's no comparison. Okay. The UFC card is the better card because it has |
| 1:29.5 | the current more active fighters. But I'm not taking a dig at what MVP is doing. This is a, |
| 1:37.5 | that's, in its own world, it's a great card. What it does, it gives us fans options. So we'll get into that conversation when Ben jumps on and stuff. But for the meantime, there's there's some fight stuff, some fight announcements that we haven't talked about. So I'm going to kind of break some of those fights down on how I think the fights will go. And then also, too, we'll talk about the main event for this weekend's fight night. Also, you've got the PFL. The PFL is this weekend uh i believe it's this friday i think it's from friday correct it is fabian edwards versus castella vancina one of my favorite fighters to watch is castella vancina and i love watching fabia edwards fight as well two of them both at the top of their games i honestly believe if both of them ended up going off to the ufc they would success in the UFC. I'm not saying that they would be champions. I'm not saying that they would Mollywop guys. I'm simply saying they would have success. They would be some of the top guys in the organization. Now, I can't tell you how long because I don't think I have to look at their ages and be like, hey, you know, let's see how old you guys are. |
| 2:34.4 | Let's see how long you can last. |
| 2:35.5 | You know, look, being a top guy for a long period of time, it's not easy. Definitely isn't easy. So I just wanted everyone to know that the PFL is this weekend. That is a huge fight. I also believe, if you have that card, can you pull that card up for me there, Dave? I believe Dalton Rasta, I think, is on that card, or is he on the Johnny Ebbling card next week? |
| 2:54.2 | He's another stud, man. Dalton Rasta is a stud as well. I'm not sure if he's on that, on this weekend's card, or if he's on the following weekends? Who's the co-main event on this card? Coimane as, sorry. |
| 3:08.3 | Oh, Adam Borch and AJ McKee, great fight, great fight. |
| 3:12.3 | Now if Adam wrestlers or not Adam, but if AJ McKee wrestles at all, |
| 3:15.3 | utilizes his submissions, AJ should have this one in the bag. |
| 3:18.3 | Nothing against Adam Borch. |
| 3:20.3 | He just has a tendency sometimes to fight a more safer fight |
| 3:23.3 | when fighting guys like AJ McKee, guys that can wrestle. So what was the fight below that? There was one more fight. I thought I saw that was a decent fight. You can go ahead and just read it off to me if you want. Yeah, no. Franco, Tanaglia and Yassine Najeed. I don't know those guys. Yeah, I don't know either. Linton Bissell and Jose |
| 3:40.9 | Augusto. Is that, oh, that's a good one though. O'Dhda Augusta and Lynn Vassell is a good one. I don't know any of the other names on there. Yeah, yeah, I get you, man. Look, they're trying to rebuild. Look, everything that they've done was all built around their their tournament schedule. you go ahead and take that off a j mckee though uh everything was built around there before i was |
