Full transcript

1. 0:00Yes, hello. This is Me-my Kim. So,
2. 0:02today we are going to have a review
3. 0:07time for UFC 333. I had a schedule in
4. 0:10another province, so I left at dawn. I
5. 0:13couldn't watch the morning matches, so
6. 0:15we gathered right after the event ended
7. 0:17. Please introduce yourself.
8. 0:18>> Yes, hello. This is Shin Gu-ho.
9. 0:20>> Ah, no other explanation needed. Hello.
10. 0:24I am UFC fighter Yoo Soo-young.
11. 0:26>> Wow!
12. 0:28>> You’ve had a really great record of 3
13. 0:30wins and 1 loss.
14. 0:31>> Uh, 3 wins and 1 loss.
15. 0:32>> Yes. You fought in Canada a while ago,
16. 0:35and you did amazingly well with great
17. 0:38momentum, so after we review UFC 333,
18. 0:40it would be great if you could also
19. 0:42take a look at Su-young's match.
20. 0:45>> I heard you really like wrestling? Yes.
21. 0:48So, feel free to praise what's good in
22. 0:50his performance and point out any
23. 0:52issues that need addressing.
24. 0:55>> The first match we'll look at is
25. 0:57between Merab and Yan; Merab, we
26. 0:59watched his wrestling match with you
27. 1:02before, remember?
28. 1:04>> He shoots a lot, and he's from Georgia.
29. 1:08>> He does a lot of wrestling; Georgians
30. 1:10are really good at it.
31. 1:12>> Uh.
32. 1:13>> Is he near the top tier? Ah, he’s
33. 1:15famous for having incredible stamina. I
34. 1:17mean, most UFC fighters have good
35. 1:19stamina, but this guy is different. He
36. 1:21goes for over 50 takedowns in a single
37. 1:23match. Could you take a look and see if
38. 1:25his stamina is actually okay? I’m
39. 1:27curious if you think his wrestling
40. 1:29style is sustainable. And the next
41. 1:31match is between Volkanovski and Movsar
42. 1:34, and Movsar is currently on a 20-fight
43. 1:36winning streak.
44. 1:38>> He won them all. But he wins mostly by
45. 1:40decision and uses a wrestling style.
46. 1:42It’ll be interesting to see how he
47. 1:43fares against the champion.
48. 1:44>> Since a lot of techniques I know will
49. 1:45be shown, it should be fun.
50. 1:46>> That’s good. Yes. What's that next to
51. 1:49Mr. Shin?
52. 1:49>> Ah, sir, this is...yes. Sir, it’s me.
53. 1:52Yes. In case you demonstrate a
54. 1:54technique and need to grab an arm...
55. 1:56>> Don't grab the person, just grab this.
56. 1:59>> Wow, you've really become cunning. Not
57. 2:01at all. Yes. I think it would be good
58. 2:03to use this. Ah, it’s for that
59. 2:05purpose. It’s for this purpose. This
60. 2:06purpose. Yes. This.
61. 2:08>> Ah, if you make this doll a bit bigger,
62. 2:10when you use wrestling techniques...
63. 2:13>> In my gym...
64. 2:15>> A dummy is good. When you demonstrate,
65. 2:18use this doll; it’s available for
66. 2:21purchase at our Kakao store. We also
67. 2:23sell the punching bag here and other
68. 2:24things. Yes.
69. 2:25>> If you don't like it, you can just go
70. 2:27and hit it hard.
71. 2:28>> What is this? This.
72. 2:29>> It's me. The face in front.
73. 2:32>> It’s for that purpose. For stress
74. 2:33relief. My face is on the front.
75. 2:35>> Ah, this.
76. 2:36>> Using this would improve your grip
77. 2:38strength.
78. 2:38>> Yeah, anyway, before the match today,
79. 2:40we trained with Merab, right? Together
80. 2:43with Merab.
81. 2:44>> Okay, it's practice.
82. 2:45>> Uh.
83. 2:46>> That's it, that's it, that's it.
84. 2:52>> Keep going, keep trying, okay, it helps
85. 2:54. It's helpful, we're helping each
86. 2:56other. Good. You watched the whole
87. 2:58match today, right? Yes, yes. Watched.
88. 3:00>> I watched it too. Since I don't know,
89. 3:03I'll just speak my mind right away.
90. 3:06>> How did you see this match today?
91. 3:08>> I've sparred with Merab, so I know how
92. 3:10strong he is.
93. 3:13>> I felt like he might have been
94. 3:14over-pacing himself a bit. Since I like
95. 3:18the sport, I watch a lot of matches,
96. 3:20and he's usually a composed fighter.
97. 3:23>> Today, I felt he lacked that composure,
98. 3:27but still, his wrestling...
99. 3:30>> I kept thinking his wrestling is just
100. 3:32too strong.
101. 3:33>> Wait, now that I think about it, it's a
102. 3:35great workout. That's what happened
103. 3:36when he first worked out with Soo-young
104. 3:38. That's what he said to Soo-young in
105. 3:41Vegas. "
106. 3:42>> Hey, Soo-young, this is a great workout
107. 3:43right now."
108. 3:44>> Wow, great workout. It's the best. The
109. 3:46best. After this, Soo-young probably
110. 3:48got really stressed out.
111. 3:50>> Honestly, how did you feel when he said
112. 3:52that? At that time.
113. 3:53>> Ah, when you say it like that from the
114. 3:56side, a positive effect kicks in. Oh,
115. 3:58I'm getting a great workout right now.
116. 4:00>> Oh, I guess I need to be this stressed
117. 4:02right now.
118. 4:03>> I'm the only one who doesn't know.
119. 4:04>> Ah, brother, right. Brother, you might
120. 4:06not know. Might not know. Right.
121. 4:08Alright, let's watch the match. Brother
122. 4:10, he's a Georgian fighter.
123. 4:12>> Ah, exactly.
124. 4:12>> We've trained together.
125. 4:14>> Honestly, we did two 5-minute rounds,
126. 4:16and I was completely drained in just
127. 4:18the first round. But he's so good at
128. 4:21switching between going low, high, or
129. 4:23bottom that once you get dragged down
130. 4:25and get back up, you're just...
131. 4:27>> Your energy is completely depleted.
132. 4:29>> Ah, we have that kind of training too.
133. 4:32Yeah, when we do that, when we go...
134. 4:35>> People with good stamina replenish
135. 4:37their energy even in that situation.
136. 4:40>> Ah, right, right, right, finding the
137. 4:42recovery timing, exactly.
138. 4:43>> Taking on ten people in one-minute
139. 4:44rounds.
140. 4:45>> What you're saying is extremely tough;
141. 4:48fighting ten people for 3 or 5 minutes
142. 4:51would be overwhelming, but they usually
143. 4:53rest in between. But one-minute rounds
144. 4:57are non-stop, really intense. You know
145. 5:00what I mean. You said he went for a ton
146. 5:03of takedowns, right? One-minute rounds
147. 5:04are like that.
148. 5:05>> One-minute rounds are like that.
149. 5:06Definitely. It's only for a minute.
150. 5:08>> By the end, your heart rate must go up
151. 5:10to nearly 200.
152. 5:11>> Ah, yes. Since you, senior, are saying
153. 5:15that, having seen those videos of how
154. 5:17you used to train, I can really imagine
155. 5:19it.
156. 5:20>> I heard you sold those separately.
157. 5:21>> Yes. Since there are many videos of you
158. 5:24doing that and recovering like that,
159. 5:26right.
160. 5:28>> Even I look at that and think, "That's
161. 5:29really something nobody can do." But
162. 5:32that's it. No matter how hard the
163. 5:34workout is, if you endure it for about
164. 5:363 months, you can do it. If you can't
165. 5:38endure it before then, you're out. So,
166. 5:40I tell the kids when they enter the gym
167. 5:43just one thing: "Just hold on for 3
168. 5:45months." It takes about 3 months for
169. 5:47the body to adapt. Ah,
170. 5:49>> Because your muscles and lifestyle
171. 5:51patterns don't match, it's tough. If
172. 5:54you do it for about 6 months, you can
173. 5:56consistently follow that lifestyle
174. 5:57pattern.
175. 5:58>> Oh, that's right. When I was scared of
176. 5:59those things, I think I had that
177. 6:01thought too. Ah, it's all done by
178. 6:02people. People are all the same. Uh, I
179. 6:07had that mindset.
180. 6:08>> Right. Right. You worked out with Karel
181. 6:11. Really?
182. 6:13>> You're the person who worked out at the
183. 6:15same gym in the same era as Karel. Ah,
184. 6:17I don't even need to watch the match.
185. 6:18Old memories with you are fun.
186. 6:20>> Let's watch the match for now. Yes.
187. 6:21>> Ah, I'm so curious. How you're really
188. 6:24going to describe it.
189. 6:25>> Alright, let's take a look.
190. 6:28>> Originally a striker style, but when
191. 6:30strikers meet strikers, sometimes a
192. 6:32wrestling fight breaks out. Why is it
193. 6:35like this?
194. 6:36>> Oh, he lifted him right up. Inside,
195. 6:37look.
196. 6:41>> His wrestling defense is good. The
197. 6:43athlete.
198. 6:44>> Back, back, back, just straight away.
199. 6:47>> It would be good to bounce him off
200. 6:49while pushing the side.
201. 6:50>> What do you mean by bouncing off the
202. 6:51side? No,
203. 6:52>> I mean,
204. 6:53>> How is it? Should we pause for a second
205. 6:54? Right now,
206. 6:56>> No, this, this is unavoidable. No way.
207. 6:59Brother.
208. 7:00>> There's always too much of this. No,
209. 7:03just now he grabbed him like this. He
210. 7:06grabbed him like this. But he couldn't
211. 7:07take him down. From here, with this.
212. 7:10>> Whoa.
213. 7:12>> How should we do this?
214. 7:13>> Just toss him away from here, like this
215. 7:16from here.
216. 7:17>> Uh, tossing him away, what is that?
217. 7:19>> This is enduring. Raising the knee.
218. 7:22>> Yes.
219. 7:22>> Because I'm pressing in as I go in,
220. 7:25>> the leg goes out.
221. 7:27>> Ah, I understand. So, by doing this
222. 7:30here, you just bump him, okay.
223. 7:32>> From here, you do this and move him
224. 7:35like that. That.
225. 7:36>> Exactly, you make the standing person
226. 7:38roll over.
227. 7:38>> Ah.
228. 7:39>> It's meaningless right now.
229. 7:41>> Should we not break it? Let's watch the
230. 7:43match for now.
231. 7:46>> That inside, inside.
232. 7:48>> From the inside.
233. 7:49>> Ah, now he went for a single-leg
234. 7:52takedown and just grabbed the ankle
235. 7:55like that.
236. 7:56>> Ah, what should he do here? They are
237. 7:59fighting each other.
238. 8:01>> There are a lot of scrambles in those
239. 8:03escaping movements,
240. 8:06>> and his stamina seems to be amazing
241. 8:08there. Usually, if Merab shakes him
242. 8:09like that once or twice,
243. 8:11>> his energy wears down and he gets
244. 8:13dragged,
245. 8:14>> but he absolutely doesn't get dragged.
246. 8:16>> Usually, Merab's style is to take them
247. 8:18down and keep working for their life,
248. 8:20right? If they get up, they get up. But
249. 8:22everyone gets caught up in that.
250. 8:24>> But because they’ve fought so many
251. 8:25matches, they use that kind of footwork
252. 8:27to catch their breath. They’re
253. 8:29resting.
254. 8:29>> That’s right.
255. 8:30>> You have no choice but to be conscious
256. 8:33of the takedown, but Petr Yan watched
257. 8:35it until the end.
258. 8:36>> He didn’t overthink the takedown.
259. 8:39>> He defends well. Right?
260. 8:41>> I think his defense is really good. And
261. 8:43in striking, his hand speed is fast,
262. 8:45too.
263. 8:45>> Yeah.
264. 8:46>> Makhachev looked a bit rushed out there
265. 8:49.
266. 8:50>> Yeah. Like Soo-young said earlier, his
267. 8:52pace was a bit faster than usual, right
268. 8:54?
269. 8:56>> Maybe he wanted to make him worry about
270. 8:58it.
271. 9:03>> Look. See how he just tips over like
272. 9:04that?
273. 9:04>> That’s kind of what you were saying.
274. 9:06Oh, what you said.
275. 9:07>> It just happened right here, oh.
276. 9:09>> Look. See, if I take his back, I can't
277. 9:12trip him to the front. You can’t take
278. 9:14him down like that. You absolutely have
279. 9:16to knock him to the side.
280. 9:17>> Wow, he did exactly what you said,
281. 9:18seriously. Wow, wow, he did that well.
282. 9:23>> But he got back up again.
283. 9:26>> Ah, right, you have to kill that leg.
284. 9:28>> But there are ways to kill that, too.
285. 9:32>> How do you do it?
286. 9:32>> Just go to the back instead. Because
287. 9:34his upper body is leaned back, you
288. 9:36can't get a takedown from there.
289. 9:38>> Oh, really? To get the takedown, you
290. 9:41have to grab the waist from behind and
291. 9:43trip him with your back foot.
292. 9:45>> Wait a second. How do you do it, how do
293. 9:50you do it?
294. 9:51>> Right now, his upper body is like that,
295. 9:53so it’s really hard to get a takedown
296. 9:56there. I could do it because I can just
297. 10:00squeeze, you know how I do it, but the
298. 10:02important thing is how you do it from
299. 10:04here.
300. 10:06>> Because you’re just struggling here,
301. 10:07that’s why it’s not working. Ah.
302. 10:09Yeah. Ah, this.
303. 10:11>> Wow, I know this one. I know it. I use
304. 10:13this one sometimes too, I’m good at
305. 10:15it. Back in the day, it was really
306. 10:16sweet. When you’re like this, you
307. 10:18come in, pull back, and hit right here.
308. 10:21If you pull, he’ll collapse. Ah, you
309. 10:22have to kick him.
310. 10:23>> Yes. While kicking and pressing, when
311. 10:25he tries to collapse, I slip to the
312. 10:27side and end up on top. This one is
313. 10:29really sweet.
314. 10:29>> But, uh. Wow, you were just talking
315. 10:32about this.
316. 10:32>> This is, in a way, the most fundamental
317. 10:35thing. Taking him down.
318. 10:36>> You have to put him on the mat here.
319. 10:40You have to remodel and press him into
320. 10:41the wall when you catch him from behind
321. 10:43, it hurts, right?
322. 10:45>> The ribs.
323. 10:45>> Right.
324. 10:46>> If I move the wrong way, I feel like my
325. 10:48ribs might snap.
326. 10:48>> Everyone says that when you catch them.
327. 10:50>> Yes.
328. 10:51>> Oh, the feeling is different.
329. 10:53>> See, I have a specific point; I just
330. 10:55put it there on purpose, I don’t even
331. 10:56apply force, I’m just using my center
332. 10:58of gravity and moving my body. Yes.
333. 11:02>> I can feel that you're not using much
334. 11:03force, but it feels really tight. It's
335. 11:06like you've studied exactly how to
336. 11:08cause pain. It's hard to learn because
337. 11:11we're grabbing the same way, but you
338. 11:13know exactly how to manipulate the
339. 11:15joints to minimize your effort while
340. 11:17putting me in a position where my knee
341. 11:19is vulnerable to injury. Ah.
342. 11:22>> I didn't actually say this earlier, but
343. 11:23...
344. 11:24>> You demonstrated that technique where
345. 11:26you have to strike with your knee. You
346. 11:28did it in a way that felt like a
347. 11:30kneebar. But it felt like, "Wow, if you
348. 11:33do it like this, I'm really going over.
349. 11:34"
350. 11:35>> If you resist, you're just asking for
351. 11:36an injury. Your knee is gone. Since you
352. 11:41like Molly. Yes. Right, let's continue.
353. 11:43Yes.
354. 11:44>> Oh.
355. 11:45>> Right.
356. 11:49>> Ah, Merab didn't take the first round.
357. 11:52>> That's right. He took it. The first
358. 11:53round, okay. Okay. Merab took the first
359. 11:56round.
360. 12:00>> Ah, he warmed up well today, made
361. 12:02weight well, and things looked very
362. 12:05smooth. But Merab is setting such a
363. 12:08fast pace right now.
364. 12:09>> Petr Yan...
365. 12:11>> Staying composed and sticking to his
366. 12:13own pace to the end is really...
367. 12:14>> Exactly.
368. 12:15>> He's just waiting.
369. 12:17>> Hmm.
370. 12:18>> He's waiting for the right moment.
371. 12:19>> Wow.
372. 12:20>> He got into this position.
373. 12:21>> Usually, fighters should try to stall
374. 12:23for time here. Petr Yan really needs to
375. 12:26spend a minute or two here. From
376. 12:29Merab's perspective...
377. 12:30>> That...
378. 12:31>> Not giving up a disadvantaged position.
379. 12:33>> Exactly. He knows that. Do you know
380. 12:35that staying here gives you momentum?
381. 12:39>> Man, him constantly pushing in like
382. 12:40that is...Oh.
383. 12:42>> He knows the technique to get out. That
384. 12:44...
385. 12:44>> Ah, Petr Yan?
386. 12:45>> Yeah.
387. 12:46>> Ah.
388. 12:48>> But he's still holding on.
389. 12:50>> Yes.
390. 12:51>> He's resting right now.
391. 12:52>> Ah, Petr Yan.
392. 12:53>> Yeah.
393. 12:54>> Yeah.
394. 12:55>> In a way, he needs to end it quickly.
395. 12:58>> The longer it goes on, the harder it
396. 13:00gets. But he’s the type of guy who
397. 13:03fights five rounds like that anyway.
398. 13:06>> Ah, so that's why, exactly.
399. 13:08>> A technique, if I succeed, I get
400. 13:10excited and keep doing it.
401. 13:13>> But if I try to use it...
402. 13:16>> If I do that, the damage reflects back
403. 13:18on me, right?
404. 13:19>> Psychologically as well. Ah, right,
405. 13:21right. But this fighter has the belief
406. 13:23that even if the first or second rounds
407. 13:25don't go well, he can succeed in the
408. 13:26third or fourth when the opponent is
409. 13:28tired, so that's his style.
410. 13:29>> I see him just waiting.
411. 13:32>> Ah, without rushing.
412. 13:34>> He’s not moving. He’s saving his
413. 13:36energy.
414. 13:43>> Wow, but really...
415. 13:44>> Once you get in and grab the waist like
416. 13:46that, you should be able to bounce them
417. 13:47off. Hmm.
418. 13:50>> He went for the takedown, got behind,
419. 13:52and he just walked out.
420. 13:53>> Yes.
421. 13:54>> There’s no damage at all.
422. 13:55>> Hmm.
423. 13:56>> He should be pinning him down.
424. 13:57>> Exactly, pin him down and stomp or do
425. 13:59something.
426. 14:05>> Hmm. Let's see. This...
427. 14:11>> He's watching it slowly. It seems like
428. 14:14he isn't concerned with the striking at
429. 14:17all.
430. 14:17>> When other fighters get taken down like
431. 14:19that, they usually
432. 14:22>> get worn out, exhausted, and sit on the
433. 14:24floor, but since he doesn't, I find it
434. 14:27a bit tough. Ah, he got hit in the gut
435. 14:33a little here, slightly.
436. 14:41>> This time.
437. 14:42>> Going in like a punch, like a jab.
438. 14:43>> Oh, exactly. Hey.
439. 14:47>> Look, he keeps coming in, but if he
440. 14:49were a wrestler, he couldn't move like
441. 14:52that.
442. 14:52>> Right? Right?
443. 14:53>> But it's Merab.
444. 14:55>> He just turns and slips out so easily.
445. 15:00>> Ah, look at him slipping out. Watching
446. 15:02that was a bit frustrating for me, too.
447. 15:04Why does he slip out like that? Merab
448. 15:06took the first two rounds, but in the
449. 15:09third, with that middle kick, he kind
450. 15:11of...
451. 15:13>> Merab is just sticking to his own style
452. 15:15.
453. 15:17>> And this guy seems to have studied
454. 15:20Merab,
455. 15:21>> and is moving based on that.
456. 15:23>> Ah, it looks like when a leg is grabbed
457. 15:25, he turns and pulls his foot out.
458. 15:26>> When a leg is grabbed.
459. 15:29>> That's right. Why Merab? Oh, if he gets
460. 15:31hit in the gut here, he's slightly...
461. 15:33>> Hey, if Merab is holding his hands like
462. 15:34that, it means he’s really taken
463. 15:36damage.
464. 15:37>> Ah.
465. 15:37>> He doesn't show it, but it showed.
466. 15:42>> Oh.
467. 15:43>> The body is...
468. 15:47>> Wow. Ah, locked in the third round,
469. 15:48right?
470. 15:49>> Yes.
471. 15:52>> But usually, if you win two rounds, the
472. 15:54momentum is set, but if you lose the
473. 15:56third round, the momentum shifts to the
474. 15:58opponent. Hey.
475. 16:00>> Yeah, just one more win and it's a
476. 16:01clean sweep. Oh.
477. 16:02>> Ah.
478. 16:03>> Oh.
479. 16:04>> If you're pushed until the third round,
480. 16:05you're forced to take risks because
481. 16:07there's only a KO left.
482. 16:09>> That Merab's move when going for a
483. 16:11takedown is attacking up top and
484. 16:13immediately going for the takedown, is
485. 16:15this not sincere?
486. 16:16>> That's right. That's right. That's
487. 16:17right. Merab's style is throwing a
488. 16:20one-two, and then just shooting a
489. 16:22takedown like a jab; since he gets hit
490. 16:24like that once. Then other people also
491. 16:28use that style.
492. 16:29>> Right? They practice it now.
493. 16:34>> But isn't Merab amazing, too? Even in
494. 16:36the fourth round, he keeps coming in
495. 16:38the same way without getting tired,
496. 16:39just like in the first round.
497. 16:42>> Guys like that pop up from time to time
498. 16:44.
499. 16:46>> Seriously.
500. 16:48>> I don't know, have you sparred with him
501. 16:49?
502. 16:50>> Well, I don't know Merab, but.
503. 16:53>> Just doing it, his personality is good.
504. 16:55It will hurt.
505. 16:59>> Please, why? What, what?
506. 17:12>> I think it would be like that. No, not
507. 17:15like a fortune teller.
508. 17:17>> That style, they’re all like that. Ah
509. 17:20.
510. 17:21>> They're always posting Reels on social
511. 17:23media and playing pranks, I mean, he's
512. 17:25a guy who really loves playing around.
513. 17:26>> Oh, and he's always doing dangerous
514. 17:28things. Like.
515. 17:29>> Oh, doing a lot of things he’s told
516. 17:31not to, that's right, that's right.
517. 17:34>> Oh, doing stuff like diving, I've
518. 17:36experienced a few guys like that.
519. 17:39>> Oh.
520. 17:40>> But you said it, his stamina is good.
521. 17:42>> Yeah.
522. 17:43>> He just keeps on.
523. 17:44>> He just keeps playing, that's his style
524. 17:47.
525. 17:47>> Yeah.
526. 17:48>> 60%to 70%of people get rattled when
527. 17:51they fight guys like that.
528. 17:53>> Oh, right, they all get rattled, man,
529. 17:55everyone gets rattled. Right?
530. 17:57>> I suddenly thought of a junior from the
531. 17:59past, oh this is great. Look at that.
532. 18:01It's the 4th round, but he's moving the
533. 18:03same way he did in the 1st.
534. 18:07>> But honestly, Yan is the only one in
535. 18:09the UFC so far who can fight like this.
536. 18:13Didn't Petr Yan clearly show that this
537. 18:15time?
538. 18:15>> Hm.
539. 18:18>> He seems to be making the first move.
540. 18:19Petr Yan.
541. 18:20>> Hm. Before, if someone went for a
542. 18:23tackle like that, the opponent would
543. 18:25usually dodge or react on their own.
544. 18:28>> Hm. But this guy is just waiting
545. 18:30quietly.
546. 18:30>> Yes.
547. 18:31>> Then he rests more.
548. 18:32>> Yes.
549. 18:36>> Hey, Merab isn't someone who just stays
550. 18:38still.
551. 18:43>> Oh, he didn't take it again.
552. 18:50>> Yes. For now, my match...
553. 18:56>> When you watch...The skill gap is huge
554. 19:00compared to watching the Petr Yan and
555. 19:02Merab match.
556. 19:04>> Ah, don't watch my match.
557. 19:10>> But right now, I feel like Merab won
558. 19:12rounds 1 and 2, and Petr Yan won rounds
559. 19:143 and 4.
560. 19:15>> This round is really important for both
561. 19:17. But the vibe in striking has shifted
562. 19:19slightly toward Petr.
563. 19:21>> Still, he's being quite aggressive.
564. 19:23Right?
565. 19:23>> Yes. Since it's the final round.
566. 19:25>> Oh.
567. 19:27>> Ah, go.
568. 19:29>> He just needs to take him down once,
569. 19:31and if he keeps him pinned...
570. 19:32>> Hm.
571. 19:34>> What's a bit disappointing is that his
572. 19:36tackle doesn't hold the ankles well, so
573. 19:38he doesn't have a secure grip.
574. 19:41>> Mm.
575. 19:42>> Usually, once you get in there, you
576. 19:43have to rotate him like this. So he
577. 19:46can't get out. Yes.
578. 19:48>> Petr also switches a lot, right?
579. 19:50>> Yes. He switches once in a while.
580. 19:51>> Ah, switching is tricky to deal with.
581. 19:55>> Oh, he's targeting the belly a lot.
582. 19:56>> I mean, since he had success with it
583. 19:58earlier.
584. 19:59>> Yes. Wow. Ah, he's allowing too many
585. 20:03strikes to the face. Wow.
586. 20:05>> He's fighting the kind of match the UFC
587. 20:07really loves. Right? Exactly.
588. 20:09>> Ah, trading blows throughout the 5th
589. 20:11round, oh, he got hit in the gut.
590. 20:14>> They aren't getting tired and just keep
591. 20:15throwing like that. Ah.
592. 20:18>> Wow, he got hit again. That right side
593. 20:20is always a bit problematic.
594. 20:22>> Wow.
595. 20:23>> Whenever someone fights Merab, they
596. 20:25strangely always target that right side
597. 20:28a lot. When people prepare for a
598. 20:30fighter, they think, "Isn't that a
599. 20:32weakness?" and add it as an option. I
600. 20:35really wish he wouldn't keep pulling
601. 20:38his pants up.
602. 20:39>> Who is it? Who?
603. 20:40>> Hey.
604. 20:41>> He keeps pulling them up. Oh, he is
605. 20:43pulling his pants up. He really is.
606. 20:46>> Ah, brother, but that's a habit of his.
607. 20:48Even when he wears tight pants later,
608. 20:50he still does that. So, anyway.
609. 20:51>> In my opinion, it's pretty much a
610. 20:54toss-up right now.
611. 20:55>> Hm.
612. 20:57>> He started off strong, but it's been
613. 21:00going down like this. Hm, you're right.
614. 21:04>> Ah.
615. 21:08>> Still.
616. 21:10>> Wow.
617. 21:13>> That was intense.
618. 21:14>> Man, what a great memory that will be
619. 21:17for those kids forever. Because their
620. 21:19dad was a world champion.
621. 21:20>> On a stage like this, wow.
622. 21:22>> Hey.
623. 21:24>> Ah. How did you find the match? Uh,
624. 21:28>> both of them did well. They both stuck
625. 21:31to their own styles, I think. Yan seems
626. 21:35to have analyzed Merab more thoroughly,
627. 21:38not intending to finish it early but
628. 21:40keeping a mindset to go the distance.
629. 21:44That's the feeling. Merab kept pushing
630. 21:47forward, trying to deal damage and
631. 21:49finish it as quickly as possible.
632. 21:53>> Yan remained very calm and stuck to his
633. 21:56own style, so while they both used
634. 21:58their own approaches, Yan was just a
635. 22:01bit more superior.
636. 22:03>> Yes. I don't think it'll be easy for
637. 22:05them to fight again after three times,
638. 22:07but anyway, they are in the same weight
639. 22:09class.
640. 22:09>> I am curious about how
641. 22:11>> Soo-young viewed the fight. I watched
642. 22:14it after returning from my own victory
643. 22:17in the previous fight.
644. 22:19>> When I win a fight, my confidence
645. 22:20naturally goes up, right? I was
646. 22:22thinking I could take anyone down and
647. 22:25pin anyone, but after seeing Petr Yan
648. 22:28and Merab’s match,
649. 22:29>> I realized I really need to work harder
650. 22:33.
651. 22:34>> Merab is one thing, but Petr Yan
652. 22:37>> showed such a clean and powerful
653. 22:40performance that
654. 22:41>> hmm,
655. 22:43>> I think it made me realize I need to
656. 22:46compete more and train even harder.
657. 22:49>> Hmm. Actually, many people who watched
658. 22:52this match said Yan did so well, and
659. 22:54mentioned how many takedowns there were
660. 22:57in one fight. They say it was a
661. 23:00record-breaking amount; both Merab for
662. 23:02attempting those takedowns and Yan were
663. 23:04praised for putting on a legendary
664. 23:06match. Since I've trained with Merab a
665. 23:09lot and was rooting for him, it’s a
666. 23:11bit bittersweet.
667. 23:13>> Now that he's seen this match, Kwon-ho
668. 23:16will be watching Soo-young's fight next
669. 23:18. I'm looking forward to hearing what
670. 23:20kind of comments he’ll have for me.
671. 23:22>> Oh, I enjoyed it so much. You did so
672. 23:25well. It was just
673. 23:26>> so elite. I haven't even told my dad,
674. 23:30>> but when I finished my fight, we faced
675. 23:32each other, right? I went over to the
676. 23:34cage side,
677. 23:35>> and I said, "
678. 23:36>> Brother, I thought about you a lot.""
679. 23:38>> I am your junior."
680. 23:39>> Oh. "
681. 23:40>> I am the 'Maemi' junior."
682. 23:41>> Oh, really?
683. 23:42>> Yes. Because you, brother,
684. 23:45>> have a signature pose you always do
685. 23:47when starting a match.
686. 23:49>> Oh.
687. 23:49>> When you start, you tend to do this.
688. 23:51Not like this, but, uh,
689. 23:55>> you do it slightly like this. So,
690. 23:58>> I also worry a lot about striking and
691. 24:00grappling styles, but...brother,
692. 24:02brother.
693. 24:04>> To follow that level, you have to reach
694. 24:06Soo-young's level first.
695. 24:08>> You can't follow it yet. Already,
696. 24:11already.
697. 24:13>> But about this provocation, the way I
698. 24:16see it, sit down, sit down, the
699. 24:18provocation is, I thought to myself, to
700. 24:21win this time, I must take him down and
701. 24:24keep him pinned, and to be like him, I
702. 24:26tried to have that mindset.
703. 24:29>> I mean, it's good to emulate him, and
704. 24:32since I've reached a certain level, I'm
705. 24:34following him, but he's a bit ahead of
706. 24:37me, so in a way, he's like a
707. 24:39mentor-like older brother to me, right?
708. 24:42Right?
709. 24:42>> First, surpass your mentor, then move
710. 24:45in your own style.
711. 24:47>> Yes. Oh, I have a separate mentor. The
712. 24:49UFC guy.
713. 24:50>> The UFC guy, I have my mentor, and
714. 24:52since I just have a similar style to
715. 24:54him.
716. 24:54>> Then first, let's watch the Volka match
717. 24:57.
718. 24:59>> Regarding the Volka and Mobsar match,
719. 25:01it's one weight class up, but since
720. 25:03Suyeong is an active fighter, I think
721. 25:05it would be great if you could explain
722. 25:07both fighters to Kwon-ho.
723. 25:09>> That guy right there is a fighter named
724. 25:11Evloev. He's fought over 20 matches and
725. 25:15is undefeated. He's undefeated and has
726. 25:17won all 20 matches by decision. He's so
727. 25:20good at wrestling.
728. 25:21>> He's got great stamina.
729. 25:22>> Yes. A decision win, huh. He's a guy
730. 25:23who drags all his opponents into
731. 25:25wrestling and wins by decision. And the
732. 25:27opponent on the other side is the
733. 25:28current champion.
734. 25:29>> Ah.
735. 25:30>> Yes. He's the champion. Yes. He's
736. 25:32Australian, 38 years old, and despite
737. 25:34being very short for his weight class,
738. 25:36he hits everyone bigger than him while
739. 25:38avoiding hits himself; he's a very
740. 25:39fast-footed fighter.
741. 25:42>> There are many weight classes in the
742. 25:44world where there isn't a dominant,
743. 25:46ultimate champion. They keep changing,
744. 25:48but Volka was champion for quite a long
745. 25:50time. Still.
746. 25:51>> But there are cases like this, too. You
747. 25:53said the champion is short, right?
748. 25:55>> And the opponent is tall. That fighter
749. 25:58probably always trained with people
750. 26:00similar to or taller than himself. He
751. 26:03might not even have training partners
752. 26:05who are much smaller than him, right?
753. 26:07So there are cases where they get a bit
754. 26:10tangled up. Always sparring with
755. 26:12someone like this, then suddenly
756. 26:13someone like that comes out, and
757. 26:15there's no space. It's the same for me.
758. 26:17When I was competing, I always fought
759. 26:19people taller than me, then suddenly a
760. 26:21smaller guy would appear. Then,
761. 26:23there’s no space to get in. Hey, for
762. 26:25tall people, their legs look like
763. 26:26chopsticks. Like they’re about to fly
764. 26:28away, their legs are long like
765. 26:29chopsticks. You try to tackle them
766. 26:31based on that leg length, but if
767. 26:32they're short, the space to enter for a
768. 26:34tackle is small, it's difficult. Their
769. 26:36hands come down quickly too.
770. 26:37>> That could be the case.
771. 26:40>> In striking, longer reach is obviously
772. 26:42an advantage, but looking at wrestling,
773. 26:44while Movsar has certainly beaten guys
774. 26:45with similar builds to Volk, Volk is a
775. 26:47champion, a great wrestler, and so
776. 26:49solid physically that it might be tough
777. 26:51to control him. They say he's on a 10-
778. 26:53fight UFC win streak. Usually, you get
779. 26:55a title shot after 6 or 7 wins. His
780. 26:56style is generally seen as a bit boring
781. 26:58, so he might be the first person to
782. 27:00reach 10 wins without getting a title
783. 27:01shot. They probably really didn't want
784. 27:04to give him one, but he won everything,
785. 27:06so they had no other choice. There were
786. 27:08even rumors that Jalin Turner might get
787. 27:10the title shot. Oh, the title match is
788. 27:12confirmed for the winner of Volk vs.
789. 27:15Movsar. Pretty much.
790. 27:21>> Personally, I'd love for Volk to win
791. 27:23and fight Topuria.
792. 27:24>> Volkanovski. But if it goes this way,
793. 27:27Volk might end up fighting Jalin Turner
794. 27:30next. Ah, a fight against Jalin Turner
795. 27:31would be fun. I heard Movsar doesn't
796. 27:33eat any sugar at all. Trying to manage
797. 27:36his weight, I guess.
798. 27:36>> But he’d need the glucose, right? I
799. 27:39consume a lot of sugar during my fights
800. 27:42. It’s high in calories, you know.
801. 27:43Eating a lot of food can be a burden.
802. 27:45Since I eat small portions with high
803. 27:47calories, I consume quite a bit of
804. 27:49sugar.
805. 27:49>> The wrestling isn't working for him.
806. 27:51But Volk really seems to be fighting
807. 27:52well. Wow, how good is Volk? That he
808. 27:54could get that arm over really shows
809. 27:56how strong he is. Getting your back
810. 27:58taken and having their arm cross over
811. 27:59means you're in a very dangerous
812. 28:00position. Like you said, senior,
813. 28:03because Volk is smaller, there’s less
814. 28:05space for him to work. He's taking the
815. 28:08back like that and not letting go.
816. 28:12>> Yeah, turning him over like that
817. 28:14earlier was good.
818. 28:15>> Is that what you talked about with
819. 28:16Merab, right? From the back.
820. 28:18>> It’s all showing up.
821. 28:19>> Did you watch the fight beforehand?
822. 28:20>> Oh, did you? I didn't even notice that
823. 28:23when I was watching. Now that you
824. 28:26mention it, I see it clearly. I mean,
825. 28:27anyone who knows a decent amount of
826. 28:30wrestling knows how to do that.
827. 28:32>> The trend these days is to try to take
828. 28:34them down from the cage, but they don't
829. 28:36go down. Back in the day, they'd keep
830. 28:38trying for the takedown, but it looks
831. 28:40like he missed his chance here. He
832. 28:42shouldn't have overpaced; he should
833. 28:43have just landed a couple of shots, so
834. 28:45he seems a bit off. Tsarukyan did that
835. 28:47too, didn't he? Like earlier, he tried
836. 28:50for a few takedowns, and if it didn't
837. 28:52work, he'd let go and strike, you know?
838. 28:55He seems flustered right now.
839. 28:58>> Because he's small.
840. 28:59>> Ah, I…
841. 29:00>> The clinch point was off, wasn't it?
842. 29:03>> Man, Volk really seems strong. Honestly
843. 29:06, if you didn't know the rankings or
844. 29:07that he's the champ, would you believe
845. 29:08he's on a 10-fight win streak? He just
846. 29:10looks like a rookie, right? It’s like
847. 29:12he can’t keep up with the speed or
848. 29:14even the distance.
849. 29:15>> It’s 38. If you count by Korean age,
850. 29:18he's 39, right?
851. 29:19>> That just shows how well he’s taken
852. 29:21care of himself. I actually went to
853. 29:23that team to meet that athlete. In
854. 29:25Sydney, Australia.
855. 29:34>> It's scary.
856. 29:35>> There's only a local gym. In a very
857. 29:37small city, the gym, the athletes, the
858. 29:39team, the family farm—they do it all.
859. 29:42That’s all there is. Honestly,
860. 29:43looking at it, other than training,
861. 29:44what else is there?
862. 29:46>> He keeps training because that’s all
863. 29:48he really likes.
864. 29:49>> True. Family.
865. 29:51>> As an athlete and as a person, I find
866. 29:52Volka really...
867. 29:54>> He’s pretty cool. He’s a great
868. 29:56athlete, a champion, but he’s got his
869. 29:58family, his farm, his teammates—like
870. 30:00that, uh.
871. 30:01>> Here we go again, it's happening, it's
872. 30:02happening.
873. 30:03>> His nephew, that's it. Oh, snap.
874. 30:04>> Wow, he’s using it again.
875. 30:05>> Then.
876. 30:06>> Uh.
877. 30:08>> Whoa.
878. 30:12>> Oh, but looking at this round, Volka
879. 30:15seems to have read something, like he
880. 30:18smelled blood, just constantly pressing
881. 30:21to finish it. Usually, if you're a
882. 30:24champion, you have to go five rounds,
883. 30:26so when you fight a wrestler, you often
884. 30:27spend the first two rounds feeling them
885. 30:29out to maintain your pace, but it’s
886. 30:31like he thought, "If I don't get a KO
887. 30:32this round after losing the first four,
888. 30:34I might lose the fight," and he just
889. 30:35went for it.
890. 30:37>> When a chance comes, you have to go all
891. 30:40in. There will be a moment when you see
892. 30:42them crumbling. When I see it, I have
893. 30:44to use everything at once. If I try to
894. 30:47save my energy when I see it, the game
895. 30:49just goes back to square one. Wow,
896. 30:53he’s so sharp. Volka has beaten
897. 30:56almost everyone, right? He fought
898. 30:57Seung-woo. Looking at Movsar's winning
899. 31:00streak, his UFC debut was against Choi
900. 31:02Seung-woo. Seung-woo is really a shame.
901. 31:05Yeah, Deny, Gade, O, Lopez, Arnold,
902. 31:07Allen, Aljo, Sterling. Sterling is a
903. 31:09former champion, though.
904. 31:10>> I think Volka is much sharper than he
905. 31:13was in the first fight with Lopez.
906. 31:16>> Wow, here it comes again.
907. 31:18>> Oh my.
908. 31:18>> Wow, there’s only 40 seconds left. To
909. 31:23beat a 10-win UFC fighter who’s
910. 31:25ranked number one by such a margin—it
911. 31:27wasn’t even a close fight—he’s a
912. 31:29champion for a reason. Ah, only 10
913. 31:32seconds left. Take one hit. Two hits,
914. 31:35three hits.
915. 31:36>> From this point, it tilted sharply,
916. 31:37right?
917. 31:39>> No, after landing those three punches,
918. 31:41he just...
919. 31:44>> It’s like he went in without
920. 31:45analyzing his opponent.
921. 31:46>> Oh, the opponent, Movsar?
922. 31:48>> Yeah.
923. 31:49>> Yeah. But even if you analyze them,
924. 31:52does it really make a difference when
925. 31:54you're fighting someone? Ah, sorry.
926. 31:59>> If you have to fight someone, is there
927. 32:01even any point in analyzing them?
928. 32:04Exactly.
929. 32:05>> There were many times I just gave up.
930. 32:07>> There was a time I only fought the
931. 32:09finals.
932. 32:10>> I said I'd do the next game.
933. 32:12>> And then I just didn't show up.
934. 32:14>> Ah.
935. 32:14>> But if you don't play a single game, do
936. 32:15they not count it?
937. 32:16>> So I went to the finals and told them
938. 32:19to take it slow.
939. 32:22>> Ah.
940. 32:23>> I forfeited and left.
941. 32:24>> Uh. Ah, for...Well.
942. 32:30>> Do European or foreign fighters also
943. 32:32frown when they see you? If there's
944. 32:35tension,
945. 32:36>> I wait until I can grapple with them.
946. 32:38>> Yeah.
947. 32:39>> To see what I'll pull out.
948. 32:40>> Yes.
949. 32:41>> Depending on whether I go this way, or
950. 32:43that way.
951. 32:44>> If I go this way, this side likes it,
952. 32:46>> Yeah.
953. 32:46>> If I go this way, that side likes it.
954. 32:48>> Ah, even Europeans, if there's tension,
955. 32:51>> Oh, because they all know me. Wow,
956. 32:54you're amazing, man.
957. 32:56>> Truly amazing, really. Anyway, Movsar
958. 33:00fought like crazy through everything to
959. 33:03get to Volka and came in on a winning
960. 33:06streak, and we know what kind of
961. 33:08fighter Movsar is. When we saw the
962. 33:11matchup, the gap was too big, so how
963. 33:12did you see it, Sooyoung? Ah, I
964. 33:15actually expected Movsar to win.
965. 33:19>> Because Volka is getting on in age, and
966. 33:22since Movsar has been on a winning
967. 33:24streak solely through wrestling, I
968. 33:26thought he'd definitely take the first
969. 33:28two rounds with wrestling and ride that
970. 33:30momentum to a decision win, but Volka
971. 33:33was way more powerful than I thought,
972. 33:35so it was really fun to watch. But like
973. 33:39you said, like Sooyoung said, he
974. 33:40should've been more aggressive with the
975. 33:42wrestling. It would be tough to keep it
976. 33:46up the whole match, but he could've
977. 33:48been more aggressive. Like you said,
978. 33:52maybe there really was no space, but he
979. 33:54tried striking more and only used
980. 33:56wrestling when he happened to find an
981. 33:58opening; it made me wonder if striking
982. 34:00was actually his plan. I saw the 333,
983. 34:04but now it's suddenly become the main
984. 34:06event for me. Yes. I'm looking forward
985. 34:09to the advice you'll give after
986. 34:11watching Sooyoung's match.
987. 34:13>> You know I don't sugarcoat things,
988. 34:15right?
989. 34:15>> Of course. Absolutely. That's what's
990. 34:17needed.
991. 34:18>> I'll just point it out clearly for you.
992. 34:20There might be some other things you
993. 34:22need.
994. 34:23>> Understood. Then let's take a look at
995. 34:26Sooyoung's match. It's a bounce. And
996. 34:29then. This part is a bit, a bit of a
997. 34:31shame. Ah, let me say a word about this
998. 34:34too. Let me give my input on this
999. 34:36grappling move. I just prepare for it,
1000. 34:38anticipating the bounce. Yeah, prepare
1001. 34:41for the bounce first,
1002. 34:43>> It flew off like this from here. It
1003. 34:47came out like this.
