0:00The Shstreakland drama continues, guys.
0:04It continues since we learned that just
0:07before the title fight against Ramza
0:09Shimaev, the man signed a new six-fight
0:12contract with the UFC, if I'm not
0:14mistaken. So we're talking about last
0:17May. Understand what's going on.
0:20Obviously, guys, we're going to side
0:22with John Streakland, and with the UFC
0:24too, because we're not, I don't know,
0:25in a Manikin world where it's true that
0:27we can understand both points of view.
0:31And we can understand why, inevitably,
0:33things are stuck on the UFC's side as
0:34well as Shckland's side, but it's
0:36interesting information.
0:39>> Yes, interesting information. And by
0:41the way, I'm also taking this
0:42opportunity to say that I saw it in a
0:44Yahoo Sports article and even the guy
0:45who said it was Mike, it was Mike Bone.
0:48So these are guys who are trustworthy,
0:50apparently even you know the rumor that
0:53there was that he was on a contract of
0:55400 + 400 apparently those would be
0:57false figures. So he would be on more
1:00than that and that apparently the
1:04million that he would have received for
1:06against Ramzat apparently it would be
1:08on similar orders even for the five
1:10other fights of his contract. Street
1:16Fighter. To live is to fight. Fighting
1:19is living, in cinemas Oct 14th. So
1:21obviously guys, it's the classic on the
1:23UFC side. When you have a superstar, a
1:26guy like that, when he's going to come
1:27back or there's going to be a big
1:29deadline, you make him sign a big
1:30extension. It happened with Roré
1:32Masvidal. It happened with John Jones
1:35who was in big negotiations with the
1:37UFC just before coming back against
1:38Cyril where he signed for a very
1:39long-term deal. The same thing with
1:42Alex Perra too. Perra, who is very
1:45satisfied, and what is quite surprising
1:46in fact, and this is where I am quite
1:48surprised by Shakland's exit, is that
1:50generally speaking, it is a long-term
1:52contract which, yes, you can see it on
1:54the one hand, as the guys get the money
1:56they want, but they are completely tied
1:58to the UFC until the end of their
1:59career. In fact, the expert said, he
2:01won't go into boxing because he has
2:03eight or seven fights left to do, he
2:04will be 40 years old, so it is
2:05impossible for him to go into English
2:07boxing. But overall, in fact, the
2:09madness is that the UFC says, "OK, you
2:10get the money you want but basically
2:12you stay with us until the end." But
2:14what makes John Jones, John Jones,
2:16sorry, Alex Pereira and Masvidal, well
2:19there is no longer really any question
2:21of financial difficulty or financial
2:23negotiation because they are happy
2:25since they got the sums they wanted.
2:28With Shan Rckland, what surprises me is
2:30that he re-signed a long-term contract
2:32in May but unfortunately it doesn't
2:33seem to suit him, which is quite
2:35surprising, at least I have the
2:36impression that it's one of the first
2:38times that this has happened. Well, and
2:42then I think that's where we directly
2:44touch on the problem, the crux of the
2:46matter. But there are several things:
2:49first of all, before getting into the
2:51nitty-gritty, I don't think we can
2:53completely dismiss the fact that—he
2:55says it himself—Shakland is so
2:56volatile and unpredictable that
2:58tomorrow he might be like, "No,
2:59actually, what he said was annoying me,
3:01a little bit, it was annoying me
3:03because I'm hurt in every way and I'm
3:05fed up, but in reality, I'm fine, I
3:07have a good contract, honestly, that's
3:09fine, thingamajig." So I wouldn't even
3:13rule out that he'll have outings like
3:15that soon, but I don't think so. I'm
3:18not excusing him, but I don't think so.
3:20But the problem is that he signed a
3:22six-fight extension just before his
3:24title fight against Ramzat. So now he
3:28probably had only one fight left, or I
3:30don't know exactly where he was with
3:32his fight. Maybe with his contract,
3:33maybe more. But in any case, I think
3:36the reason he got the title fight
3:39against Ramzat is because he accepted
3:41the UFC's terms and conditions on this
3:44new six-fight contract. If he hadn't
3:48accepted, let's say he had, I don't
3:50know, I don't know, but maybe two
3:51fights left or something like that, if
3:53he had had the same demands, if he had
3:55really started to break balls like that
3:57and be super vocal and stuff, well the
3:59UFC would have done a Polo Costa and he
4:01would never have seen the light of day.
4:04And he would have even less seen the
4:06title fight against Ramzat.
4:09>> And yes, like what happened for the UFC
4:12with the Burns vs. Camar Wan that was
4:14initially planned and finally it was
4:16basically supposed to be Masvidal vs.
4:19Camar Ousman. Negotiations fail, Burn
4:22gets injured and then everyone finally
4:25agrees. New contract for Mass Vidal.
4:28I'm here. Yes. No, I totally agree. The
4:32thing is, we're in a really...The
4:33question I'm asking myself is: you have
4:36this fight, you have this title fight
4:38against Ramza Chimev. Is it because, I
4:40don't know, you know, for him, he was
4:41saying: "Anyway, I'm not going to be
4:42champion and I'm getting the money I
4:44need"? Finally, if we say that Shun
4:46Streckland, everything he says and here
4:48precisely the fact of being in this
4:50situation with the UFC each time, it's
4:52on his side, it's a course that he's
4:54going to maintain. I have a really hard
4:58time understanding that,
5:00>> really. I think it's more likely that
5:02it's a bit...and he...and he also said
5:03on Twitter, basically, that someone
5:05told him: "But dude, you just re-signed
5:07a long-term contract with the UFC, what
5:09the hell are you doing not wanting to
5:10be happy now when you're the one who
5:12signed it with your little hand?" And
5:15basically, Shan Streakland explained, "
5:16But in fact, you can't, well, this is
5:18something that maybe people don't know,
5:20but in fact, you sign the contract
5:22because you have no choice but to sign
5:24the contract." And I can understand
5:27that in the sense that, well, like what
5:29we were talking about just before, but
5:30there is clearly a world for me where
5:32he signed. Yes, so I imagine he signed
5:35for more than before. Well, that's for
5:38sure, but maybe not with what he wanted
5:40exactly. But he had to move forward, he
5:43had to fight, he wanted to fight and so
5:46he signed this contract knowing at the
5:48time that: "Okay, that's good, I'm
5:51happy" but, uh, without having 000 and
5:53100 either. And now that he's had this
5:56fight against Ramzat, that he's the
5:58champion, so he has even more leverage,
6:00who realizes that the end of his career
6:01is fast approaching, well right now, I
6:03think that he's thinking a lot more. "
6:05Oh yeah, but hey, I signed because the
6:07UFC..." And the UFC, I think, must have
6:09done the classic thing, huh, that is to
6:11say, tell him: "Well, in fact, here's
6:13what we're offering you, so we're
6:15giving you a raise of I don't know 100
6:17+ 100 or 200 + 200, but on the other
6:19hand, if you don't sign, oh well then
6:20man, we're going to screw you over,
6:22you're not going to get anything,
6:24you're going to stay like this, we're
6:26only going to offer you crappy fights."
6:28They didn't tell him like that
6:30obviously, I think, but it must have
6:32been, you know, they must have made him
6:34understand in a roundabout way that we
6:36won't let you go, we'll never let you
6:39go. There won't be any "I'm going to go
6:41box Jack Paul, I'm going to go box
6:42so-and-so". Even back then, if you had
6:44one or two fights left on your contract
6:46, they were going to give you hell.
6:49They'll keep you waiting, make you
6:51miserable, and book you in garbage
6:52fights against guys who came out of
6:53nowhere. A bit like what the UFC did
6:57when they offered Carlos Prates to
6:59Conor McGregor, and so I think it must
7:01have been a mix of: he still wanted to
7:03move forward, he wanted to fight for
7:05the title, SH Streakland was still
7:08happy at the time because he got a
7:10small pay raise, plus he was taking a
7:12lot of pressure from the UFC like, "
7:14Otherwise, man, we're going to put you
7:16in trouble anyway." And so at the time,
7:19I think he thought, well, there's more
7:21advantage, plus I'm fighting, okay, I'm
7:23going for it. And a little bit, you
7:26know, like, I know it's paradoxical
7:27because these are decisions, even at
7:29that time in May when he renegotiated
7:31this contract, these are decisions that
7:32are made over several days, several
7:34weeks. So what I mean is going to be
7:37weird, but when you look at it, even
7:38now a few months later, I think there's
7:40still a reconsideration of what must
7:42have happened in terms of, like, damn,
7:44I really got screwed over there in the
7:45story. If that's it,
7:50>> I don't know. You see, really, honestly
7:53, I...what bothers me about this is the
7:55previous ones where guys who were
7:57obviously very well paid and, typically
7:59, a guy, you know, I, Shrekland, I put
8:01him in this Mas Vidal box where the guy
8:03has today, for me, you see, when you
8:05look at Mas Vidal's career and what
8:07he's done, he's been beyond his
8:08potential, so to speak, athletically.
8:11You see the Alexa cases, the John Jones
8:13cases, they're special because they're
8:14guys, they're generational talents.
8:16There you have it, if you like. There,
8:18uh, Shun Streakland like Masvidal. Mas
8:21Vidal finished with I don't know how
8:22many defeats, we don't care. He can
8:23always take money because people will
8:25always tune in to these fights. Shun
8:27Streakland, few people watch these
8:29fights for what Shun Streakland brings
8:30in the cage; it's everything that
8:32happens outside of it, and that, no
8:34matter how many defeats he has, the
8:35amount of chaos: as long as he remains
8:37the character he is outside the cage,
8:39people will watch. So a guy like Shun
8:42Streckland, he could very well say, and
8:44I think a bit like Masvidal when there
8:46were tensions, even when Masvidal then
8:48went into boxing, did his other stuff,
8:50you're still a guy that people
8:51appreciate. To say Masvidal today in
8:54sport means nothing. He hosts the
8:56podcast sponsored by Monster about the
8:58UFC with Dustin Poya, with Chris Wman
9:00and all, because he's Mass, Vidal Shun,
9:03Rickland, you know? I mean, he could
9:05very well have said: "Okay guys, you
9:07put me upside down for the title fight
9:09and you put me in the closet, I'm going
9:11to finish my contract." Even in 2 years
9:14, Shakland, I'm sure that he'll go into
9:16boxing against Jack Paul, he'll do the
9:18barnacle, you know, you put him
9:19wherever you want, he would have taken
9:21a lot, a lot of risk. So, you see,
9:24that's why I have a little trouble
9:26being on the side of the poor guy who
9:29was put in. Well, you see, it's not a
9:31Shareland, it's not Dimitrius Johnson
9:32because Dimitrius Johnson also talked
9:34about it in the mode "I'm at the end of
9:35my contract and everything." Dimitri
9:37Johnson. The reality is that when he
9:39was fighting, nobody gave a damn.
9:42>> Well, that's why I really think we're
9:44very close to a Polo Costa situation
9:45for Shun Streakland. And in fact, but
9:48let's say it's a little tricky because
9:50you see, and for me these are the...
9:52they're exact parallels, but here Polo
9:54Costa, basically, he's in this
9:55situation. There's only one fight left
9:58if I remember correctly. And in theory,
10:01he could already be out of the UFC
10:03right now because he got this offer to
10:06fight on short notice without a pay
10:08raise, even though it's a 5-rounder
10:10against Ankalaf. You can't do worse
10:15than that, except maybe Ramza Chimev if
10:17you're N Diaz and you accept just to
10:19get out. But let me tell you, these are
10:23two examples of what the UFC does to
10:25you if you want to get out of your
10:27contract because you've managed it well
10:29, or at least you only have one fight
10:31left and they're going to give you the
10:32worst possible fights. But nevertheless
10:36, in fact, there's a world where Polo
10:38Costa could have accepted, he could
10:39have accepted to fight in California,
10:41on short notice, synchronously, without
10:43a pay raise, but he didn't. But on the
10:45other hand, yes, he could already be
10:47out; he could already be fighting for
10:49Costa himself, or perhaps be fighting
10:50Jake Paul for millions of dollars at
10:52this very moment as we speak. But I
10:55think it must be so hard to tell you
10:58that I'm getting screwed, really,
11:00really badly, on one or two occasions
11:03like that to that extent. And I think
11:07that it wouldn't be, and it's not even,
11:08it's not ego, it's not just ego, but
11:10you know, for a Polo Costa, I think it
11:11must be so hard, even though it would
11:13be the right decision in the medium and
11:14long term for him. And I think it must
11:19be so hard to let go of the steak when
11:21you say, [ __ ], they're going to do the
11:24worst thing to me in this fight
11:28>> and I can't, I can't accept it and I
11:30think they're in situations like that,
11:31you see,
11:32>> that could happen
11:33>> after once again, guys, I'm playing
11:35devil's advocate, but you see,
11:36typically
11:37>> Volkenovski also has to extend.
11:40>> You have guys where I understand that
11:41things are going well. Alexander
11:42Volkanovski, well without being, you
11:44know, the guy who is, who is, uh, who
11:46provides a lot of services to the UFC,
11:48I understand that things are going well
11:49for him because, well, he doesn't do
11:51anything stupid and he's, so to speak,
11:53an example to follow. A guy like Polo
11:55Costa, I put myself in the shoes of the
11:57UFC too, you say to yourself today, OK,
11:59the guy is back in the right place. I
12:01think you can't help but think, "Wait,
12:03there was Fight Week against Adessia
12:04where the guy says he got really pumped
12:06up right before. The fight after, while
12:08we're still investing in the guy, it's
12:10supposed to be the revival of MMA in
12:12Brazil. He enters the fight against
12:15Marvin Vetory, he weighs, uh, 84 kg. I
12:18don't think so guys, I think I think
12:20we're going to have to do it, huh? Well
12:22, there you go, you see how you do it.
12:25And I think a company like the UFC
12:27thinks," OK, today, it's been maybe 2
12:29years since Polo Costa got back to
12:31where he belonged, but the last time he
12:32had this peak of fame where it was
12:34really Primeolo Costa, undefeated,
12:36Adesania and then Marvin Vetori, the
12:38guy did this kind of crazy thing to us.
12:41"Do we really want to put ourselves in
12:43a position where we extend him for
12:45hours at a sum that is, finally, h
12:47fights, at a sum that is still pretty
12:50hardcore and that the guy potentially
12:52repeats a bit of a cable? We put a
12:54crazy event in Rio for him, we put him
12:57for the Light Evip title, Prochaka.
13:00Start of fight guys. Uh if we can do
13:03that, if we can do that in heavyweight,
13:05vacant belt, I would be fine with that.
13:09>> Oh yeah, that's it. You make your
13:12company look like idiots or amateurs.
13:15Well, a similar case with Shun
13:17Streakland where I think that the UFC
13:18also says to itself:" The guy became
13:20champion, did all this cash-in-the-box
13:21stuff with the UFC White House, White
13:23House and everything, it's part of the
13:24character and that's why Shun Street
13:26Cland works. "But we are in a situation
13:28where, and that's why for me there is
13:30still a difference between Josh Okit
13:31and Shun Streakland, because Josh Okit,
13:33we see that he is a character and that
13:34yes, he is going to do his extra steps
13:36with Michel Obama and everything, but
13:37you feel the guy is just forcing it,
13:39thinking," I must craft the kind of
13:40sentence that gets people talking. "But
13:42I think that as soon as he gets the
13:43phone call from the UFC, FC Josh Kit.
13:45Okay, great, you shut up and let's go.
13:47Shland says. I think the FC, they're
13:50like," This guy brings us a lot of
13:52money and, in terms of sport, he's
13:53doing crazy performances, "but the guy
13:55is so uncontrollable and can come out
13:57with crazy things that I'm
13:59>> really, I'm convinced that every
14:01post-fight interview, all the UFC
14:03bosses are like," Please, yeah, please,
14:06please, let him not come out with crazy
14:08things, even towards a sponsor,
14:10something like that, and...And really,
14:13in my opinion, they're really into that
14:15. The UFC is very important to us
14:17because, because he speaks to a certain
14:19audience. Sportingly, he is very strong
14:21and, at once, puts up some crazy
14:22numbers. But if you let a young
14:25streaker loose like that and really
14:28push him to the limit, it could
14:30potentially backfire on you.
14:32>> Well, that's for sure. But how do you
14:34actually get out of that situation, out
14:36of that situation, if you're one and
14:37you're the other, actually? Because,
14:39well, Sha Streak, he might not let go
14:42of the steak. We'll see, maybe he'll
14:45come to his senses or something. For me
14:48, he has every reason not to be happy,
14:50but I mean, maybe he'll change his tune
14:52because he's so unpredictable and
14:53whatever. But if you have...Yeah, I
14:56think they'll never let go of the steak
14:57, huh.
14:59>> Well Danaw, you actually reacted there
15:01in the Contender Series like, well, he
15:03just...It's not like he signed a long
15:05time ago, he signed in May. You're
15:07finally for me Shan, unfortunately if
15:10you want to go all the way, you have to
15:12do a Francis Enganou. You see, you do a
15:15Francis Enganou or other guys,
15:17>> but it's already too late. So, sorry,
15:20when I say sorry, I don't think Shun
15:22Streakland has any interest in leaving
15:24the UFC. But when I say you want this
15:26revaluation, unfortunately, in fact,
15:27you have to keep winning, you see?
15:29You're in this situation, you keep
15:30going. A guy like Shunstrickland today,
15:32which represents, we're still in this
15:33thing of precisely, I was talking about
15:35it in relation to Mas Vidal, for me
15:36he's SHCKland, he's still that guy.
15:38It's never been cat punches when he
15:39beats he would be, Ramza Shimev, but
15:41for me he's exceeded his athletic
15:42potential. But if you're in A situation
15:45where you get banned from Sourdine, you
15:47defend your belt again. I don't see a
15:49world where the UFC doesn't say to
15:50itself: "Okay, the guy in every
15:51interview..." Because that's it, you're
15:53in the champion's position. If you keep
15:55saying every time, "Guys, I'm underpaid
15:57, the UFC bastards, Dana White, you
15:58weren't like this before, you're going
16:00to explode." Plus, all the guys, they
16:03have to put you in a good light. They
16:04have to put you in a good light.
16:07Especially since, as we mentioned in
16:09the previous podcast with Sh Streetland
16:10, we're saying that the UFC won't let
16:12go of the steak in the sense that
16:14they'll have to really make Sh
16:15Streetland row. But renegotiating
16:19current contracts is also routine,
16:22right? I mean, when Conor McGregor was
16:24on his extraordinary rise and he was
16:26winning fights and he finally really
16:28became a champion every time. It felt
16:30like every fight he doubled his number
16:32of followers, he exploded. Very quickly
16:35, the UFC, in the middle of his
16:37contracts, renegotiated upwards so that
16:40it would be much more in line with what
16:42he brings. So, I know, it may or may
16:46not be obvious, but obviously, the UFC
16:48can renegotiate the contract with a
16:50snap of its fingers if it decides to.
16:54And so, to go along with what you're
16:56saying, if that's what Sh Streakland
16:58ends up doing, that is to say, he
17:00fights under his conditions and things
17:02like that, that he fights against
17:04Nasourdine and that he wins against
17:06Nasourdine, and maybe spectacularly if
17:08he succeeds or something, well then
17:10indeed, he would greatly increase his
17:16chances and the probability that the
17:18UFC would accept, give in, so to speak,
17:21to renegotiate his contract and change
17:23the terms and all that. So that's it.
17:27Indeed, there will be arbitration that
17:28Strickland will have to make. Well, as
17:30long as I don't do anything, I won't
17:32increase my leverage a little bit, you
17:35see. But that's it and that was and has
17:37been Francis 'strength too, is that he
17:40>> was, he put himself in this situation
17:42of being able to have a showdown with
17:45the UFC, but in the meantime, Francis
17:47fought everyone on his very old
17:48contract and every time the UFC came up
17:51with new stuff, no, we continue. And
17:53the guy beat everyone. The guy really
17:56beat everyone. Then, there was even
17:58this fight against Cyril Gan which was
17:59the same. We're in a mess like Polo
18:02Costa in KF. You have cruciate
18:04ligaments, you don't give a damn, you
18:05fight him anyway, you go all in because
18:07if Francis lost, he would literally
18:09lose everything and well, he put
18:10himself in a position to win. But it's
18:12true that That's complicated, because
18:14you...you have to be in that situation,
18:16you tell yourself at some point: "I
18:17could potentially lose everything", and
18:19inevitably you talk about the UFC a
18:21little bit with your tail between your
18:23legs. But for me, Strickland is like
18:24that: you keep fighting, you win, and
18:26then after a while, you're going to be
18:27really good. And we see that clearly
18:29with guys, well, I'll take this example
18:31from Alexander Volkanovski: basically,
18:33he's a champion that no one wants, and
18:35today the guy is extremely well paid by
18:37the UFC because, well, the guy has
18:38become appreciated by everyone, has won
18:40a series of victories. And you put
18:42yourself in this situation where, well,
18:44on paper, everyone wants you to be,
18:46you're very well paid and you have
18:48these opportunities. Dimitrius Johnson,
18:50without wanting to beat him up again,
18:52but you see, he complained about being
18:54underpaid and everything. At one point,
18:57he had this opportunity to fight TJ
18:59Dacho. Except he wanted a million
19:01dollars. You win against TJ Dacho. I
19:04think the UFC would have said, okay, we
19:07still have to put the CO in there, you
19:10know. Unfortunately, he didn't want to.
19:12You lose against Henry Serouo B, the FC
19:14says, well, okay, let's trade him like
19:16a Pokémon card. Well, that's it. But
19:19because, indeed, as you were saying, if
19:21you win the fight, which is the arm
19:23wrestling fight, the fight where you
19:25took risks and stuff, and then you take
19:27the microphone and you say the same
19:29thing that Shckland is saying now, or
19:32if Dimitri Johnson had beaten TJ Dach.
19:35Then, of course, he...he...it's...
19:36they're still the masters of the game.
19:37But so, it's not that the UFC won't
19:39have a choice, but it's that there will
19:41be such a Media fervor, doubled,
19:43renewed from the fans, because on top
19:45of that you'll have this "you just won"
19:48thing and we know that, but we're the
19:50first ones, in the...in the...in
19:51people's minds, in the fans' minds,
19:53you're really...it's...you're dependent
19:56on your last performance. And if, on
19:58top of that, you already had a run and
20:00then you do this performance, you know,
20:01that takes you to the next level and
20:03you come up with your complaints, and
20:05suddenly people say: "Oh okay, he won,
20:07he entertained us, he did all these
20:08things, he's at the top and on top of
20:10that, so obviously, the UFC treats him
20:12like [ __ ]." Well then you'll indeed
20:14have a crazy impact. If, if right after
20:18the fight against Ramzat in the
20:19post-fight interview, that's what Sh
20:21Streetland said in the mode of well, I
20:23was basically put in a gun to the head,
20:25I had no choice but to sign this
20:27contract. I didn't want it, but the UFC
20:30is really a gangster. You wanted me to
20:32win against Ramzad? There you go, I won
20:34. Now, what do we do? In that case, I
20:36think it would have had a much bigger
20:38impact and a much better chance of the
20:40contract changing. So, well, he waited
20:43a few months. And you also have this
20:46thing where you can be in this
20:48situation, it also depends on your
20:50situation with the UFC. Guys, remember
20:53that a few months ago, the UFC offered
20:56John Jones 30 million to fight Thomas
20:59Spinal. Because John Jones, who I
21:02remind you had no problem with his new
21:05contract to fight Cyril, to fight STP,
21:07he was like: "Guys, I'm fine here now,
21:09I'm going to leave quietly." Well, when
21:13the UFC has no choice, Well, they gave
21:15you 30 million. And then, they offered
21:17him 15 million to fight the expert,
21:18because you put yourself in this
21:20situation where the UFC was like, "Okay
21:22, there you go." Like when Francis...
21:24What was Francis? What was it? 10 and 8
21:26million, I think, that he finally
21:28offered him for these two fights. Well,
21:29he offered him two very big ones, I
21:31don't remember exactly what they were,
21:33but basically to get him to re-sign
21:35with the UFC, he offered him two fights
21:37for his defenses, two big paydays for
21:39his belt defenses. But because you're
21:41in this situation where you've beaten
21:43everyone and the UF guys aren't stupid,
21:45guys, it's 95%of MMA, it's the UFC so
21:47they know exactly what they're doing.
21:51They can see that to get the guy back
21:53or like Conor McGregor who had a fight
21:54with the UFC for his return against Max
21:56, he was very Okay. He said, "They
21:58respected me, no problem.""Because yes,
22:00well he sees clearly, he sees clearly
22:02what's going on, that the guy calls
22:03back and everything, reports and
22:05everything. And so for me SH Streckland
22:07is also that, that today he is in a
22:09situation where the UFC, well they did
22:10their Tarsigné calculation in May.
22:12There, you have done...not...we are not
22:14in a situation, he has not proven
22:15himself, but we still have to do a
22:16little more for him to say to himself:"
22:18listen, Chun, we are going to discuss
22:19your contract again. "And in my opinion
22:21, indeed, it is a little early to say:"
22:23You signed in May, you have only fought
22:25one fight and now, you are facing
22:26Nasourdine. "Well, let's wait and see
22:28what happens, and it would not surprise
22:30me either if you face Nasourdine who,
22:32once again, is a fight that, well, no
22:33one wants to see. But I think that even
22:36for the UFC, you see, you are not in a
22:37situation where you are going to Break
22:39all records in terms of numbers for
22:41Fight Week. The fight will be
22:42spectacular, but you won't break all
22:43those records. The rematch against
22:46Ramzad for Shun Streakland, I think
22:48everyone is going to pick up their
22:49phones and say," Okay, guys, we saw
22:51what happened. "I remind you that it
22:53had more numbers, guys. Do you realize
22:55that the UFC Maison Blanche and what
22:57was it like? It's been 2 years since
22:59they've done those numbers during Fight
23:01Week. I think the phone is going to
23:03ring now, everyone is going to be in
23:05good mode, given what happened the
23:07first time, guys, don't worry, you're
23:08all going to be really, really good."
23:11And in my opinion, it's not for nothing
23:13that Ramza is kind of put on the back
23:15burner, like, "We're waiting to see
23:17what happens with Shland Nourdine and
23:19we're going to put a little spot for
23:21the UFC." Uh, what is International
23:23Fight Week or a really big one? In my
23:25opinion,
23:26>> well, that's why and that's That's why
23:29if the fight against Nassourdine ends
23:31up happening, it's really going to be
23:33tense. But on Ch Streakland's side,
23:36it's also tense, for he has so much at
23:38stake. But even for the fans, huh, it
23:42means that really, while Nassour
23:43himself is just doing his job and he's
23:45just coming to become world champion, I
23:46think that on the English-speaking side
23:48, if it continues like this and
23:49Johnstrickland ends up accepting the
23:51fight against Nasourdine, but while
23:52being in the mode "actually I accept
23:54because I have no choice, because
23:55so-and-so", and but there you have it,
23:57everything will be decided on this
23:59fight against Nasourdine and so-and-so.
24:01I think that people will be even more
24:05on Shaun Streakland's side against
24:06Nassourdine, in the mode: "Plus, the
24:08guy's risking his career, he's taking
24:09this fight when he doesn't want to and
24:11so-and-so" that. It's going to be, if
24:12this fight happens, it's really going
24:14to be a very weird thing, the fight
24:16against Nasourdine where, In fact, all
24:17the stakes will be almost outside of
24:19the fight against Nasourdine himself.
24:21It will be Shun Streakland against the
24:23UFC, it will be the rematch against
24:24Ramzad that everyone wants to see. It
24:26will be Shun Streakland and it will pay
24:28off and in the middle, well, there will
24:31be the grain of sand called Nasourdine.
24:33But it's almost unfair. Well, it's not
24:36unfair, it's just how it is, you see.
24:37But for Nasourdine, it will really be
24:39like all the English speakers will hope
24:41that Nasourdine loses just so that the
24:43thing continues and that everything
24:45goes as he would like, you see. But
24:46what is certain is that for the UFC,
24:48this is very bad. We remember at the
24:50time when there was all this stuff
24:52about fighters 'salaries. When you also
24:55have a champion who is as visible as
24:57Shun Streakland and we go back to the
24:59thing with John Jones where the UFC
25:00will be forced to Saying, "No, the guys
25:02are well paid and all." It's a really,
25:05really bad message overall to say that
25:08one of your superstars, one of the most
25:10visible guys like that, is complaining
25:12about his salary. It's always really
25:14bad on the UFC side. So that's why on
25:16both sides, it's in their interest that
25:19this can be resolved fairly quickly.
25:22>> Yeah. Well, let's hope so. Oh, I saw it
25:26, sorry. And, uh, horrible conclusion,
25:29uh, Brendan Allen, well, he deserves
25:32credit, he deserves credit for trying
25:34Brendan, who beat, uh, CLD, uh, last
25:36weekend, who made a disgusting post
25:38yesterday where he once again put
25:41Nasourdin Imamov instead of Nasordin
25:43Imavov with Brendan Allen. It pisses me
25:46off when there's stuff like that in the
25:49UFC mode. Make the fight that everyone
25:51wants to see. The rematch for the belt,
25:53this time for the vacant title. Brendan
25:55Allen Nassourdine Immaov give people
25:59what they want to see
26:01>> give people what they want you
26:03>> see that we are typically for me in a
26:06situation where on his Instagram people
26:08should maybe put that on order there
26:10you go
26:11>> Oh the fight that everyone wants damn
26:13it oh yes for the belt even. Okay.
26:15>> Yes. Oh yes for the belt okay.
26:18>> Yes, but look, that is typically the
26:19kind of thing that stresses me out. It
26:21gives me anxiety to see that when you
26:24have, you know, some kind of proof in
26:26front of you that a person you see is
26:28not in the real world in fact. He has a
26:31...He's in a kind of eco-friendly room,
26:32all alone in his corner where, yes,
26:34that's for sure, all his teammates, all
26:36his buddies on his Insta, people must
26:37tell him: "No but seriously, damn it,
26:39go against Nassourdine, I'm really
26:40excited, that's what I want to see and
26:42stuff." And the guy from the ne look at
26:45that you know and so he feels like and
26:47and he and he ends up coming out with
26:48sentences like "The fight that the
26:50whole world wants." Okay, he didn't say
26:51the whole world, but that everyone
26:53wants it. You know, that really worries
26:55me. It's tough. Yeah.
26:59>> Come on, scales, did you have anything
27:00else to say?
27:01>> Especially since the fight was still...
27:03Oh yeah, he won the first round, but
27:04after the first round at Kant Quant
27:06Ramsad when Nassourdine gets angry, we
27:07realize that they're not in the same
27:09league, in the same division. No, no,
27:10complicated. No, but then there you go,
27:13Brendon Allen there for the fight, for
27:15the title, hot hot hot hot.
27:18>> Yeah, you see the sentence, the
27:19sentence is tough.
27:20>> Yes, the sentence is complicated guys.
