  1. 0:00What it do? Bedtime crew. Hey, man,
  2. 0:02listen. Today, I am here with the most
  3. 0:04anticipated video of the week. I am here
  4. 0:06with my predictions for UFC Fight Night
  5. 0:09Cortez Acosta versus Johnny Walker short
  6. 0:12notice main event. It was supposed to be
  7. 0:14Sean Brady versus Gabriel Bonfim
  8. 0:16instead of Waldo versus Johnny Walker.
  9. 0:18Listen, the rest of this card, is it
  10. 0:20insane? No.
  11. 0:21Is it terrible? Not really. Like it's
  12. 0:24kind of decent Apex slop. Like I'm not
  13. 0:28mad at a Crafty Davey Grant Elijah Smith
  14. 0:31featured fight. You know, Lucas I don't
  15. 0:33There's a kid in the UFC named Lucas
  16. 0:34Fernando. There's a kid named Lucas
  17. 0:36Fernando. You know what I mean? Nina
  18. 0:37Milicevic, bro. You know, Michalis Bazo,
  19. 0:39mate. Thomas Peter Griffinson, bro. You
  20. 0:42know, this ain't actually bad. There's a
  21. 0:43lot of decent prelim fights. Let's get
  22. 0:45into this though. First fight of the
  23. 0:47night, is it going to open? It's not
  24. 0:48going to open. So, company sold for $4.2
  25. 0:51billion by the way. We've got Johnny
  26. 0:53Parsons, the Sledgehammer, making his
  27. 0:55return against Jose Souza, the Mutant of
  28. 0:59Welterweight. I'm going to go with Souza
  29. 1:00by like round three TKO. I just think
  30. 1:03that this is a classic this I forgot
  31. 1:06this guy was even in the UFC type of
  32. 1:08match-up. He's at a huge reach and
  33. 1:10height disadvantage. Mainly just a
  34. 1:12boxer, decent power,
  35. 1:14but I think that Souza is a legitimate
  36. 1:16mutant. I think that he's a guy that's
  37. 1:17going to go decently far in this
  38. 1:19division. I wouldn't say he's like a
  39. 1:20future champion, but he has the build of
  40. 1:22a mutant ranked contender.
  41. 1:24Um
  42. 1:25Like I said, Parsons does have solid KO
  43. 1:27power. There's a lot of unknown about
  44. 1:29Souza, but I I like that he went the
  45. 1:31distance in his last fight. I think Meng
  46. 1:33Ding is like a pretty powerful decent
  47. 1:35guy to kind of have your debut against.
  48. 1:38And I expect Souza to fight pretty
  49. 1:40comfortably in this one against a guy
  50. 1:41with, you know, much less reach, little
  51. 1:44bit more experience in terms of UFC, but
  52. 1:47I think he will probably slow down as he
  53. 1:49we get to the second and third round.
  54. 1:51And I think that Souza is going to fight
  55. 1:52very well behind his kicks. I think he's
  56. 1:54going to keep Parsons' hands at home
  57. 1:56with like big high kicks and body kicks.
  58. 1:58I like the knees to the body. I like the
  59. 2:00jab. I could see this being very similar
  60. 2:02to like Tie Miller versus Billy Ray
  61. 2:04Goff, but like slightly more competitive
  62. 2:05in the first round. I'm going to go with
  63. 2:07Souza by like round three TKO, maybe
  64. 2:09like a doctor stoppage type thing. Next
  65. 2:11fight of the night, again, none of these
  66. 2:13are opening. All right, we got Sokoudjou
  67. 2:15versus Wellington Turman. Another guy
  68. 2:18that literally has just despaired for
  69. 2:19like 3 years and now he's back. I'm
  70. 2:21going to go with Sokoudjou by decision,
  71. 2:22but I will say this, why is Sokoudjou a
  72. 2:24minus 800 favorite?
  73. 2:28Is that not crazy to anyone else? Like
  74. 2:31Contravicious is fighting Andre
  75. 2:33Petroski, he's only a minus 250
  76. 2:35favorite.
  77. 2:36I think [snorts] Sokoudjou is going to
  78. 2:38win this fight, but I'm not minus 800
  79. 2:40level confident about it the way that I
  80. 2:42am about Contravicious or some of these
  81. 2:44other guys in the card. So, that's a
  82. 2:45little bit concerning. That makes me
  83. 2:47like, [ __ ] this is going to be a crazy
  84. 2:49like crafty project, but I do think
  85. 2:51Sokoudjou is going to win this.
  86. 2:56Bro, my [ __ ] cat is like pissing up
  87. 2:57the door.
  88. 2:58I can't even focus. This little
  89. 3:00[ __ ] is like
  90. 3:02Like, bro, you you don't even want to be
  91. 3:03in here, you know what I'm saying?
  92. 3:05Like, you guys have seen this. Every
  93. 3:06time I do a video, this little
  94. 3:07[ __ ] leaves as soon as I start
  95. 3:09recording. I don't know I don't know
  96. 3:10whether the kids are on drugs or what,
  97. 3:11but listen, Sokoudjou is going to win
  98. 3:13this by a decision. I think that he has
  99. 3:15a grappling and wrestling advantage. I I
  100. 3:16think Wellington Turman is kind of
  101. 3:18underrated. I think he's very similar to
  102. 3:20like Glover Teixeira on the feet. Like,
  103. 3:22he has that kind of old man boxing in a
  104. 3:23in a very, you know, complimentary way.
  105. 3:25But, he doesn't have the offensive
  106. 3:26grappling that we saw kind of get used
  107. 3:28against Sokoudjou by JPL, you know,
  108. 3:30Gigachad JPL, friend of the channel.
  109. 3:33I think the fact that Sokoudjou is a
  110. 3:34southpaw means Turman won't be able to
  111. 3:36use his leg kicks that much cuz that's
  112. 3:38one thing that he uses quite well is
  113. 3:40calf kicks and just leg kicks to the
  114. 3:42thigh to set up his boxing.
  115. 3:44And even his jab, I just feel like
  116. 3:46southpaw versus orthodox Sokoudjou has
  117. 3:48that kind of McGregor karate stance.
  118. 3:50He's good at kind of slipping and
  119. 3:51ripping and then shooting that straight
  120. 3:53left and getting to the takedown. I
  121. 3:54think that Wellington Turman will have
  122. 3:56decent success on the feet attacking the
  123. 3:58body and just keeping it simple, but I
  124. 4:00do think that Sokoudjou has a grappling
  125. 4:02advantage. I think he's going to get
  126. 4:04takedowns. I I think he's probably just
  127. 4:05going to blob this guy for a decision
  128. 4:07victory. I'm going to say Shavkat
  129. 4:08Rakhmonov 30-27 victory by decision.
  130. 4:11Now, next fight of the night,
  131. 4:14Montas Contratodavicius
  132. 4:17versus Andre Petroski.
  133. 4:24I'll I'll be genuinely shocked if Andre
  134. 4:27Petroski wins this, okay? I don't care
  135. 4:29how grow how big you grow that beard,
  136. 4:31bro.
  137. 4:34We know what's up, dog. You know what
  138. 4:35I'm saying? That's all I'm going to say.
  139. 4:36I'm going to go with Contra
  140. 4:37Contratodavicius by round one KO. I
  141. 4:40literally have no notes on this. I have
  142. 4:41notes on every other fight. I have no
  143. 4:43notes on this. I just feel like it's
  144. 4:45kind of a waste of time. Like, Andre
  145. 4:47Petroski, very good grappler, very good
  146. 4:49wrestler,
  147. 4:50not the best boxer, but he can make it
  148. 4:52work, you know what I mean? But, his
  149. 4:54durability, his chin is just [ __ ]
  150. 4:55zero. Um the guy genuinely got put out
  151. 4:58by a hip bump from [ __ ] Jacob
  152. 5:00Malkoun. So, I just feel like it's
  153. 5:02impossible to pick this guy. I just
  154. 5:04can't pick him at middleweight. Like,
  155. 5:05it'd be one thing if he was at
  156. 5:06flyweight, where I would be like, you
  157. 5:09know, listen, then not everyone has
  158. 5:10one-shot KO power, right? But, it's the
  159. 5:12fact that you're fighting a guy that
  160. 5:13does have KO power, and you're also in a
  161. 5:16division where you've been nuked so many
  162. 5:18times that it's just it's just really
  163. 5:20difficult for me to trust him. I'm going
  164. 5:21to go with Contratodavicius by round one
  165. 5:23KO, all right?
  166. 5:25Next fight of the night, we've got
  167. 5:26Carlos Calderon. That sounds like a Fast
  168. 5:28and Furious character. This guy just
  169. 5:30looks like a Fast and Furious
  170. 5:31background. Like, "What up, dude? This
  171. 5:33is Carlos Calderon, man. He's going to
  172. 5:35get us across the border. You know what
  173. 5:36I mean? You know what I mean? He's going
  174. 5:37to get us He's going to get us to the
  175. 5:38race in Tijuana, bro. He knows what's
  176. 5:39up. What up, cuh? You know what I mean?
  177. 5:41Like, that's that's this guy, bro.
  178. 5:43versus Austin Bashi, aka [ __ ] Dude, I
  179. 5:46love Austin Bashi. This guy's such a G.
  180. 5:48Like, if you watch this guy on
  181. 5:49Instagram, you know that he's like Tony
  182. 5:50Ferguson 2.0. I love Bashi. I do think
  183. 5:53he wins this fight. I think that
  184. 5:55Calderon, listen, he's on a little win
  185. 5:57streak. He beat Damon Jackson, you know
  186. 5:59what I mean? Listen, dude, it is what it
  187. 6:00is. Um and he did get out of a darce
  188. 6:02choke against Alberto Montes on
  189. 6:04Contender Series, which is somewhat
  190. 6:05impressive. Um did get subbed in the
  191. 6:07second round regardless, but um I think
  192. 6:09that he is just such a good match up for
  193. 6:11Austin Bashi. Like he's just a tall,
  194. 6:13upright striker that doesn't have a
  195. 6:15massive reach advantage, doesn't really
  196. 6:17have the power or the striking accuracy
  197. 6:19of Jose Delgado, my goat Jose Delgado.
  198. 6:22And I do feel like the way that this guy
  199. 6:24fights, like he's very tall and upright
  200. 6:25and he just like kind of he kind of just
  201. 6:27like blobs at you like this standing up
  202. 6:30tall. And I feel like Austin Bashi is
  203. 6:32just going to blast blast double the
  204. 6:33[ __ ] out of this guy. Like I do feel
  205. 6:34like Austin Bashi is so much more
  206. 6:36explosive.
  207. 6:38On the feet he's very like he's very
  208. 6:40counterable because I feel like he
  209. 6:42doesn't really jab, he just swings big
  210. 6:44meaty [ __ ] hooks. Like he I feel like
  211. 6:46Lucas Tra- Lucas Tracy would kind of
  212. 6:48fight like Austin Bashi and Stuart
  213. 6:50nickel put together. Like that's that's
  214. 6:52really what I think of Austin Bashi is
  215. 6:53just the big meaty hooks in the blast
  216. 6:55doubles. He does remind me of a young
  217. 6:57prime Lucas do Tracy. So I I do think
  218. 7:00that on the feet listen he's a little
  219. 7:01bit exploitable, but in this match up I
  220. 7:03don't know if if Carlos Cadero has this
  221. 7:05kind of KO power on the feet. Um and I
  222. 7:08think when it comes to when Austin Bashi
  223. 7:09beats him to the hips and gets on the
  224. 7:10takedowns, he's going to do really well
  225. 7:12to take this guy down and get on his
  226. 7:13back. I think he's going to get a rear
  227. 7:15naked choke in the second or third
  228. 7:16round. Um the way that Austin Bashi like
  229. 7:18chain wrestles and passes and gets to
  230. 7:20the back, um he's really [ __ ] good
  231. 7:22and I think that Austin Bashi has legit
  232. 7:24toughness, great cardio, um kind of a
  233. 7:26blockhead goat. We [ __ ] love him. I
  234. 7:28think this is a match up that he wins.
  235. 7:30So we're going to go with Austin Bashi
  236. 7:31by rear naked choke in the second or
  237. 7:33third round. Um yeah, dude. All right.
  238. 7:36Next fight of the night, I would love if
  239. 7:37any of these would [ __ ] open. Watch
  240. 7:39the main event just Bro, this company
  241. 7:40Bro, you guys sold this [ __ ] for seven
  242. 7:42bill- like you guys got paid seven
  243. 7:44billion by Paramount. You can't even fix
  244. 7:46your [ __ ] website.
  245. 7:47Come on, mate. You know what I mean?
  246. 7:49Like come on, mate. Like come on, dude.
  247. 7:52It's funny when I do it, you know what I
  248. 7:53mean? I'm just a YouTuber, you know,
  249. 7:54when I don't edit [ __ ] I don't fix
  250. 7:56anything.
  251. 7:57It's kind of endearing, you know what I
  252. 7:58mean? But this is just abysmal.
  253. 7:59Regardless, bro, I'm really excited
  254. 8:01about this fight. I'm not going to let
  255. 8:02let this ruin it for me. I really really
  256. 8:04like this fight. I think this should be
  257. 8:06on the main card to be honest. I don't
  258. 8:08really know why we got [ __ ]
  259. 8:11Mitra Bozo on the [ __ ] main card. I'm
  260. 8:13not going to lie, this is a way better
  261. 8:14fight.
  262. 8:15Really tough fight. I'm going to go with
  263. 8:17Magomedov by decision. I think this is
  264. 8:19actually going to be a really tough
  265. 8:19fight for him. I think that Jose Delano
  266. 8:22has a very good chance to win this. He
  267. 8:23has really good takedown defense. He can
  268. 8:25strike going forward at a high pace.
  269. 8:27Good power, good timing.
  270. 8:29Kind of crafty crafty boxing a little
  271. 8:31bit similar to Davey Grant. He has good
  272. 8:33submissions. He has a lot of submissions
  273. 8:34under his belt. He can win by decision.
  274. 8:36He doesn't gas out. He's got KO power.
  275. 8:38He's very well-rounded and I like the
  276. 8:40way that he fights and I definitely
  277. 8:41think that he's a very tough match-up
  278. 8:43for Murtazali Magomedov. But Magomedov
  279. 8:45seems to be something special. I think
  280. 8:47that this will be his toughest fight in
  281. 8:49terms of getting his wrestling and
  282. 8:50grappling off because like I said, Jose
  283. 8:51Delano, if you watch the tape, this
  284. 8:53guy's takedown defense is [ __ ] A1.
  285. 8:55He's really [ __ ] good overall.
  286. 8:58I think that the reason I'm going to go
  287. 9:00with Magomedov by decision is that he
  288. 9:03won't have a wrestling threat once he
  289. 9:05gets stuffed a couple of times and his
  290. 9:06grappling will kind of be less of a
  291. 9:08factor.
  292. 9:10I think it will be a competitive
  293. 9:11back-and-forth striking fight, but I
  294. 9:12think that Delano's style kind of opens
  295. 9:14him up a little bit more to strikes. I
  296. 9:16don't think he's going to get chimed. I
  297. 9:18don't think he's going to get submitted,
  298. 9:20especially submitted. Like maybe he gets
  299. 9:22chimed, but I don't think he gets
  300. 9:23submitted.
  301. 9:24And I think that overall Murtazali
  302. 9:27Magomedov is just a little bit more
  303. 9:28powerful, a little bit more, you know,
  304. 9:30quick and snappy, more explosive. I
  305. 9:33think that he will have that takedown
  306. 9:34threat early on to kind of establish
  307. 9:36some stuff. So, I think this will be a
  308. 9:37close fight, but I think that Delano
  309. 9:39will probably lose the first two with
  310. 9:41that takedown threat getting pieced up a
  311. 9:43little bit. Starts to walk forward. I
  312. 9:44think he wins the third round landing
  313. 9:46straight punches, landing body shots. I
  314. 9:48was really contemplating picking Delano
  315. 9:50in this fight. Like maybe I maybe I
  316. 9:51should have, but
  317. 9:53I think he's really [ __ ] good. I
  318. 9:54think both of these guys are legit like
  319. 9:56145 prospects.
  320. 9:58Really think this should be on the main
  321. 9:59card. Honestly, I think this should be
  322. 10:00in front of a crowd if I'm if I'm
  323. 10:02completely honest, but yeah, I think
  324. 10:04Magomedov gets this one done by
  325. 10:05decision. I'm going to go with the
  326. 10:06undefeated guy. But it's a close fight,
  327. 10:08all right?
  328. 10:09Next fight of the night, we've got
  329. 10:10Karine Silva versus Gabriella Fernandes.
  330. 10:14This is tough, dude. This is [ __ ]
  331. 10:16tough, man.
  332. 10:18I'm going to go with Silva by decision.
  333. 10:19I think that it's going to be close.
  334. 10:21Like I don't know why she's like a
  335. 10:23ginormous favorite. I'm not super
  336. 10:25impressed by Karine Silva. Like she's
  337. 10:27like a good striker.
  338. 10:29No takedown defense.
  339. 10:31When she's on bottom, she just throws up
  340. 10:33subs. Like she doesn't get She's not
  341. 10:34getting up. Um
  342. 10:37and some of her wins are kind of
  343. 10:38robberies. You know what I mean? Like I
  344. 10:39just think I don't get really get the
  345. 10:42glaze behind Karine Silva. But my
  346. 10:44problem with Fernandez and the reason
  347. 10:45why I'm picking Silva is though like
  348. 10:48Fernandez, I think has more power on the
  349. 10:50feet and more of a submission threat and
  350. 10:51probably has a better grappler overall.
  351. 10:54She doesn't really shoot takedowns. Like
  352. 10:55she does just kind of [ __ ] stand
  353. 10:57around and hope that you can't chin her
  354. 11:00and then she's going to take over and
  355. 11:01start doing well. You know what I mean?
  356. 11:02That's kind of what she did against Wang
  357. 11:03Cong. Tried that gimmick against the
  358. 11:06goat Casey O'Neill. You don't know how
  359. 11:07hard it has to be a fighter. She tried
  360. 11:09that gimmick against the goat Casey
  361. 11:10O'Neill got [ __ ] nuked, dude. Shout
  362. 11:13out to Casey O'Neill, bro. Friend of the
  363. 11:14channel. But yeah, I think my problem
  364. 11:16with Fernandez is like
  365. 11:18she has power and submissions, but she
  366. 11:20just kind of stands around. Like she's
  367. 11:21kind of Cheeto maxing in his prime. You
  368. 11:23know what I mean? So uh she's not super
  369. 11:25accurate. She's kind of a slow starter.
  370. 11:27And I think relying on a KO in women's
  371. 11:29MMA is really difficult to pull off. So
  372. 11:32I'm going to say Fernandez, maybe she
  373. 11:34does well later on in the fight. Maybe
  374. 11:35she pulls off with like a round three
  375. 11:37KO, but I'm going to say Karine Silva
  376. 11:39wins like a 29-28 decision. Just doing a
  377. 11:41little bit more output, little bit more
  378. 11:43shadow boxing at range, little bit
  379. 11:45quicker early on. I think she's going to
  380. 11:46get that one done by decision. Next
  381. 11:48fight of the night, Thomas Peter
  382. 11:50Griffisson
  383. 11:51versus Gabriel Lorenzo. Listen, I just
  384. 11:53need to say this, dude. Okay? I just
  385. 11:56need to [ __ ] say this.
  386. 11:57Cuz I I feel like a lot of you guys
  387. 11:58think I've gone soft and I won't say
  388. 12:00what I think, bro. That's not true at
  389. 12:01all. And I'm working I will say this.
  390. 12:04This is a little bit of inside baseball.
  391. 12:05I'm working on a debate with DC. I'm
  392. 12:07trying to make it happen. I'm trying I'm
  393. 12:09talking to people behind the scenes. I'm
  394. 12:11trying to get my get back and make a
  395. 12:12debate with DC. So if you guys want to
  396. 12:14see that, let me know in the comments
  397. 12:15cuz I'm trying to make that happen. But,
  398. 12:17I I just got to say this, bro. Lorenzo,
  399. 12:18this guy's ass.
  400. 12:20Like, I don't rate this guy at all. And
  401. 12:23I think this guy is like an an emblem.
  402. 12:25Nothing against the guy personally. I
  403. 12:27don't know the lad at all, all right?
  404. 12:29Maybe if I was Brazilian, I'd be [ __ ]
  405. 12:30glazing this guy. But,
  406. 12:32um
  407. 12:33I just think this guy's the perfect
  408. 12:34example of like, "Yo, he had a round one
  409. 12:36KO in Contender Series, bro. He's going
  410. 12:38to win this fight, dude." Like, I swear
  411. 12:40to god, that's what you hear every
  412. 12:41[ __ ] week. And then you watch this
  413. 12:43lad's fight, and you realize that
  414. 12:45Contender Series is no longer about
  415. 12:47who's actually good. Like, there is good
  416. 12:49guys on Contender Series every single
  417. 12:50year, right? Including this year.
  418. 12:52There's heaps of guys that I'm super
  419. 12:53excited about from this season. But,
  420. 12:55there's also a bunch of just [ __ ]
  421. 12:57straight blobs. Like, just straight up
  422. 13:00you why are you even in the UFC? Like,
  423. 13:02no disrespect, but honestly, the UFC
  424. 13:04should have some [ __ ] standards.
  425. 13:05Like, this guy
  426. 13:07they they literally just sign everyone
  427. 13:10who [ __ ] wins, and hope one of them
  428. 13:12turns out to be good cuz it's cheaper
  429. 13:13than like carefully selecting who to
  430. 13:15sign or like we're going to pay Rico
  431. 13:17Verhoeven a certain amount of money.
  432. 13:18We're going to pay this guy and this
  433. 13:19guy. You know, instead of doing all that
  434. 13:21[ __ ]
  435. 13:23they're like, "Let's just sign anyone
  436. 13:24who gets a finish on Contender Series."
  437. 13:25Or not even a finish. If you're tough
  438. 13:27and you're a blockhead, you're getting
  439. 13:29signed. And this guy is like a perfect
  440. 13:31example of that. Like, a- and too, the
  441. 13:34thing is like you people glaze the [ __ ]
  442. 13:36out of Contender Series cuz it's like,
  443. 13:38"Oh, finishes, bro." And they glaze
  444. 13:39fights and it's always good finishes,
  445. 13:40you know what I mean? When it's
  446. 13:41literally just low-level fights, and
  447. 13:43it's like you can have we used to have
  448. 13:45both of like high-level fighters and
  449. 13:47finishes. Um and I think this guy's
  450. 13:49finish on Contender Series is a great
  451. 13:50example of that. He literally just ducks
  452. 13:52his This is the [ __ ] highlight of
  453. 13:54this guy.
  454. 13:57Boom, and he just catches the [ __ ] at
  455. 13:58the end of the [ __ ] punch. He's not
  456. 14:00even looking. He just catches the [ __ ]
  457. 14:01at the end of the punch. Literally takes
  458. 14:03no [ __ ] skill whatsoever. Catches the
  459. 14:05guy at the end of the punch. Just drops
  460. 14:07some [ __ ] hammer fists to the back of
  461. 14:09the head, and that's and Chris Tognoni's
  462. 14:11too scared to jump in. That's the end of
  463. 14:12it. I don't I'm not picking this guy to
  464. 14:15beat Thomas Peterson, bro.
  465. 14:17Peterson can legit wrestle. Like he's
  466. 14:19not not that good on the feet, but he's
  467. 14:22like he's got a little bit of crafty
  468. 14:23boxing like he knows what he knows what
  469. 14:24to do.
  470. 14:25And I think he has the experience in the
  471. 14:27fight IQ. He's going to mix in
  472. 14:28takedowns. He's going to blob this
  473. 14:29[ __ ] guy.
  474. 14:30And I really hope that he gets a finish
  475. 14:32so that we can be like, yo, there's we
  476. 14:33need to chill with these Contender
  477. 14:35Series signings. Again, nothing against
  478. 14:36Gabriel Lorenzo. Don't chin me, lad, but
  479. 14:38I'm going with Peterson easily by
  480. 14:40decision. Um I do not think this guy is
  481. 14:42that good to be honest, all right?
  482. 14:44Featured prelim of the night, we've got
  483. 14:46Kaichiro Nakamura who fluked Seps La.
  484. 14:49Not over it. I was there in person. I
  485. 14:51wasn't [ __ ] happy, mate. I was having
  486. 14:53a [ __ ] steaming mood. I'm lucky that
  487. 14:56Volk didn't get fluked, or else I really
  488. 14:57would have [ __ ] crashed out. But
  489. 14:58regardless,
  490. 15:00uh Nakamura coming in taking on Ollie
  491. 15:04Schmied, who's four and three. And I
  492. 15:06dude,
  493. 15:07I'm rooting for Schmied, bro. Like he's
  494. 15:09a New Zealander. He's basically
  495. 15:10Australian. I'm rooting for this guy.
  496. 15:11I'm picking Nakamura, bro. Like TKO,
  497. 15:13round two or three. Okay? I hope I'm
  498. 15:16wrong. I really hope I'm wrong. Um I
  499. 15:18just think that Schmied is a guy that
  500. 15:19got thrown into the deep end too early
  501. 15:20in his career and he's kind of paying
  502. 15:21the price for it. Like he fought Dim
  503. 15:23Skillz, who's like a very well-known
  504. 15:25regional fighter here in Australia. Like
  505. 15:27super experienced, fought everybody,
  506. 15:29super entertaining. He's fighting on the
  507. 15:3014th, actually. He's very Yeah, I'll be
  508. 15:32on commentary. Um but you know, he took
  509. 15:34a lot of damage in that fight against
  510. 15:35Skillz. And Skillz is not a UFC guy.
  511. 15:37Like he's a guy that's like seven and
  512. 15:38five or something like that. Like yeah,
  513. 15:40Schmied took a beating in that fight.
  514. 15:42Like he did well early on, but he took a
  515. 15:44beating. And I think since then,
  516. 15:46>> [clears throat and cough]
  517. 15:47>> he rebounded against guys with like
  518. 15:48basically no fights, looked really good,
  519. 15:50and then boom, here's My One Rhiki in
  520. 15:52your [ __ ] UFC debut on short notice.
  521. 15:54Get slimed. Do you know what I mean?
  522. 15:56Like it's it's unfortunate, but I think
  523. 15:58that I just have to bring up the fact
  524. 15:59that this guy's taken a lot of damage.
  525. 16:01And I just don't know if he's ready for
  526. 16:04this this this UFC run right now.
  527. 16:06Whereas Nakamura, he is quite low
  528. 16:08output, but he has very good timing. He
  529. 16:10finds KO shots quite well. And I expect
  530. 16:12Schmied to actually win the first round.
  531. 16:14I actually think he's going to look
  532. 16:15decent in this fight. Like he's actually
  533. 16:17really good. I think he has a a very
  534. 16:18good skillset. I think he's really good.
  535. 16:20It's just I just don't think he's
  536. 16:21experienced enough against this level of
  537. 16:23guy, you know, to win these type of
  538. 16:25fights. And I also think he's taken a
  539. 16:26lot of damage, you know? So, that's kind
  540. 16:28of my problem is like I think Schmidt
  541. 16:29can wrestle. I think he can strike
  542. 16:31decently well. Trains with a really good
  543. 16:32team. Was at City Kickboxing. Now he's
  544. 16:34at that new gym with Israel Adesanya.
  545. 16:36Like, this guy's really [ __ ] good. I
  546. 16:37just think that Nakamura's probably
  547. 16:39going to cause more damage and win this
  548. 16:41fight. I think that Schmidt probably
  549. 16:42takes him down,
  550. 16:44does well early on, maybe has some
  551. 16:46flashy moments on the feet. He loves to
  552. 16:47spin. I think he is very vulnerable to
  553. 16:50calf kicks. I think Nakamura will start
  554. 16:51to find that. I think that his hands do
  555. 16:53come down as the fight goes on. He's
  556. 16:55open to body shots. I think Nakamura
  557. 16:57will do a good job dealing with the
  558. 16:58spinning attacks, too. That's kind of
  559. 16:59the main weapon of Olli Schmidt is like
  560. 17:01the spinning back kick, the spinning
  561. 17:03back fist, all this type of stuff. Um he
  562. 17:04did a good job defending that against
  563. 17:06Sebside. Really was losing that fight
  564. 17:08because Sebside is an eternal champion.
  565. 17:10Like, he's a he's a high-level guy that
  566. 17:11moves very similarly to Volk. Like, he's
  567. 17:13not the same level as Volk, but he moves
  568. 17:14quite similar to him. Like, jab, catch
  569. 17:17you in the pocket with the hook, move
  570. 17:18around, leg kicks, and just got fluked,
  571. 17:20you know what I mean? Whereas Schmidt,
  572. 17:22more aggressive, going to kind of bum
  573. 17:24rush you, looking to throw something
  574. 17:26crazy at the end of an exchange. I think
  575. 17:28that opens him up to counters. I think
  576. 17:30he's going to get KO'd. I just think
  577. 17:31it's too much, too soon. It's a it's a
  578. 17:33big step in competition from Rahiqi.
  579. 17:35Like, it's a big step down, but that
  580. 17:37fight was not competitive at all. So, I
  581. 17:38don't really feel like, "Oh, well, he's
  582. 17:40going to win against this guy." Like,
  583. 17:41there's no shame in in losing a close
  584. 17:42fight to Rahiqi. It's like, you know
  585. 17:43what I mean? So, yeah, that that's my
  586. 17:45opinion. I'm going with Nakamura to
  587. 17:47close out the prelims. Let's move on to
  588. 17:49the main card. I just cannot get over
  589. 17:50the fact that Markus de Lead looks like
  590. 17:53Mini like Yes King Bro. Rest in peace,
  591. 17:55Yes King Bro. He looks like Yes King
  592. 17:56Bro.
  593. 17:58I almost wanted to Mitrione is one of
  594. 18:01these guys like a Pat Sabatino that
  595. 18:03initially I like hated and now I'm kind
  596. 18:05of like rooting for him cuz I think it's
  597. 18:07funny.
  598. 18:08I almost wanted to fluke up a crafty
  599. 18:10Mitrione decision victory prediction
  600. 18:12because I think that Markus de Lead
  601. 18:14early on is going to be swinging big and
  602. 18:16missing. And maybe that just carries out
  603. 18:17through the fight. I think that Mitrione
  604. 18:19fights decently well on the back foot
  605. 18:21and he's kind of crafty, but he just has
  606. 18:23so many like disadvantages physically in
  607. 18:26this fight. I think that the reach, the
  608. 18:28height, like I do worry
  609. 18:30he's probably going to get clipped big.
  610. 18:32Like he doesn't really have the power in
  611. 18:33my opinion to stop
  612. 18:35Marcos de Lima from coming to get him. I
  613. 18:37feel like early on he will he will be
  614. 18:38quite crafty. Like he'll be moving and
  615. 18:40circling quite well and he'll look good
  616. 18:42in the boxing compared to Marcos who who
  617. 18:44kind of just swings wild and I think
  618. 18:46early on when Reposo is sharp and mobile
  619. 18:48he'll be able to keep things calm and
  620. 18:49land the more accurate strikes and maybe
  621. 18:51mix in takedowns and mix in the clinch.
  622. 18:53Um and I do think that De Lima will be a
  623. 18:55guy that's probably look looking to like
  624. 18:56threaten submissions and then end up on
  625. 18:58bottom. But I think that 15 minutes with
  626. 19:00Marcos de Lima who has real like 125
  627. 19:03knockout like knockdown power
  628. 19:05is a very scary prospect. Like I think
  629. 19:07that he's one of these LFA Brazilian
  630. 19:10monsters that is probably going to put
  631. 19:13the pace on Mitrione, be on the front
  632. 19:15foot, defend the takedowns a little bit
  633. 19:17easier considering he's going forward.
  634. 19:19When he swings big early on I think he
  635. 19:20will probably get taken down or miss
  636. 19:22big, but I think as this fight goes on,
  637. 19:24when we reach like mid round two into
  638. 19:27round three, I think De Lima is going to
  639. 19:28start tighten things up a little bit,
  640. 19:29settle into the fight. I think he's
  641. 19:31going to find a KO with like a left hook
  642. 19:33or an uppercut, maybe a body shot. I
  643. 19:35think that De Lima is just a lot more
  644. 19:37explosive. So I'm going to go with
  645. 19:38Marcos de Lima by like round two or
  646. 19:39three KO. He's an example of a guy from
  647. 19:41Contender Series that I thought was
  648. 19:42actually good, all right? Um next fight
  649. 19:44now we've got Priscila Cachoeira versus
  650. 19:46Bloody Nina Milosevic mate. And if you
  651. 19:49don't know why I'm whipping out the
  652. 19:50Aussie impression cuz she's she's
  653. 19:51wrapping Sydney dude. So we should we
  654. 19:53are team Nina Milosevic brother, all
  655. 19:55right?
  656. 19:56We're picking her by round one cut round
  657. 19:58one cut all right? Round one KO
  658. 20:00Adelaide, all right? Let's [ __ ] oath,
  659. 20:02all right? Um I I I'm not built like
  660. 20:04that, all right? Let me chill. But we're
  661. 20:05going with Nina Milosevic by round one
  662. 20:07TKO.
  663. 20:08Uh Priscila Cachoeira is a jobber in my
  664. 20:10opinion, so I'm going with Nina to win
  665. 20:11that one. Uh big fan, great performance
  666. 20:14in her debut, got a body shot TKO which
  667. 20:16was really [ __ ] nasty. That was that
  668. 20:18legendary Serbia card that was, you
  669. 20:21know, a couple of jobber fights, but
  670. 20:22also like some fun match-ups, you know
  671. 20:24what I mean? So, that was a really fun
  672. 20:26card, like a lot of finishes, a lot of
  673. 20:28good back-and-forth scraps.
  674. 20:29Um and she was a big standout from that.
  675. 20:31So, I'm definitely riding with her on
  676. 20:33this one. Let's move on. There's this
  677. 20:35kid called Lucas Fernando. There's a guy
  678. 20:37called Lucas I don't even know who Lucas
  679. 20:38Fernando is.
  680. 20:41Dude, I didn't have to say anything.
  681. 20:43Like, I just let that moment speak for
  682. 20:44itself in the video. I hope you guys
  683. 20:46understand what was going on in that
  684. 20:48that that Timbo and DC interview. Like I
  685. 20:50said, I'm trying to work on the the
  686. 20:51rematch, all right?
  687. 20:52Um we got Lucas Fernando versus Billy
  688. 20:54Elekana.
  689. 20:56I think Billy Elekana is pretty solid,
  690. 20:57but I'm going to go with Lucas Fernando
  691. 20:59by KO in the third or second round.
  692. 21:03I really feel like this guy has
  693. 21:04potential to be top 15. I think he is
  694. 21:07like he's got that type of build and
  695. 21:09that striking game that he's going to
  696. 21:11give Billy Elekana a lot of problems. I
  697. 21:12think that this is a good test for him.
  698. 21:13I think that Billy Elekana is pretty
  699. 21:16solid overall. Like, he will try to
  700. 21:17wrestle and I and I like that. I I think
  701. 21:19he's one of the rare 205ers that will
  702. 21:22mix things up depending on who he's
  703. 21:23fighting and will kind of, you know,
  704. 21:25have a sort of game plan to test out
  705. 21:27everything. He's not like a KO or bust
  706. 21:29type of guy. Like, he can win by
  707. 21:30decision. He's very solid at point
  708. 21:32fighting. He does just get hit really
  709. 21:34hard and seem to just kind of accept it
  710. 21:36and start crumbling. Like, I think that
  711. 21:38Junior Tafa, if he had any takedown
  712. 21:40defense, he would have beat Billy
  713. 21:41Elekana. He was hurting him. He was
  714. 21:43landing good shots on him. Uh you know,
  715. 21:44Bogdan Guskov got out of that back
  716. 21:46control, immediately turned the tides on
  717. 21:48him, and Billy Elekana kind of crumbled.
  718. 21:49I know it was like short notice, but
  719. 21:51still. Um the only guy that I remember
  720. 21:53him beating quite easily was like Ibo
  721. 21:54Aslan, and that's cuz Ibo Aslan couldn't
  722. 21:56hit a [ __ ] you know, like Ibo
  723. 21:58Aslan's accuracy is so low. Like, he's
  724. 21:59just a [ __ ] meathead just swinging
  725. 22:01hooks. So, I think that Fernando is a
  726. 22:03lot more technical than those guys, but
  727. 22:06has the size, the girth, the tonnage at
  728. 22:08the wazoo. Uh fought Rafael Tobias, who
  729. 22:11can get submissions, I can grapple
  730. 22:13decently well, um even though he has
  731. 22:15zero fight IQ. I think Billy Elekana has
  732. 22:16better fight IQ, but probably worse
  733. 22:18physicality. I think that Fernando, with
  734. 22:21the jabs, with the knees, with the leg
  735. 22:23kicks, huge reach advantage, I think
  736. 22:25he's going to get this one done by KO in
  737. 22:27the second or third round.
  738. 22:29Um I think that he's probably going to
  739. 22:30get out of some sort of like takedown
  740. 22:32entry with a knee and maybe push back
  741. 22:34Elekana to the cage, let his hands go,
  742. 22:36maybe rip a punch to the body that drops
  743. 22:38him, start landing knees to the head,
  744. 22:39Elekana kind of crumbles. That's going
  745. 22:41to be the end of it. Up against the
  746. 22:42cage, I'm saying knees and punches. Uh
  747. 22:44in honor of Guru, I'm going to say body
  748. 22:46shot against the fence, you know. Real
  749. 22:47ones remember when every prediction from
  750. 22:49Guru was like body shots against the
  751. 22:51fence, mate. All right?
  752. 22:53Featured fight tonight, there's still
  753. 22:54nothing opening. We've got Davey Grant.
  754. 22:56Oh my days, it's dangerous. Davey Grant,
  755. 22:59mate, he's a [ __ ] legend of the game.
  756. 23:00versus Elijah Smith. Um Davey Grant
  757. 23:03liked one of my comments on Instagram,
  758. 23:04so shout out to the goat Davey Grant.
  759. 23:06Elijah Smith, very good prospect. This
  760. 23:09is a really good featured fight. I
  761. 23:10actually am very excited about this. Um
  762. 23:15I'm going to go with Elijah Smith by
  763. 23:16decision. I think that this is going to
  764. 23:18be a competitive fight. I think Davey
  765. 23:20Grant is actually a really really tough
  766. 23:23fight for Elijah Smith. Um he's got the
  767. 23:26crafty craftiness, you know, he mixes up
  768. 23:27the body and the head strikes well. He's
  769. 23:29good at being on the back foot. Like
  770. 23:31Davey Grant's not a guy that has to be
  771. 23:33fighting one way or the other. Like he
  772. 23:34can grit out bad fights. He can survive
  773. 23:37a round of of getting his back taken and
  774. 23:38then turn the tides, you know what I
  775. 23:40mean? Like he can win a fight that he's
  776. 23:41losing. Davey Grant is never going to
  777. 23:43like give up and
  778. 23:44or anything like that. He's happy to
  779. 23:46fight wherever the fight goes because
  780. 23:48he's so experienced, because he's so
  781. 23:49[ __ ] crafty, and he has the power.
  782. 23:52Um Solid takedown defense, like not not
  783. 23:55the best in the world, but like not not
  784. 23:57a major liability, which is interesting
  785. 23:58in this fight. Um not the most physical,
  786. 24:01and I think that's a big factor why I'm
  787. 24:02probably going to go with Smith. Like I
  788. 24:04I think that the kicking game of Davey
  789. 24:05Grant is very interesting. I'm
  790. 24:06interested to see how much he utilizes
  791. 24:08his calf kicks and his front kicks and
  792. 24:10his body kicks and his movement and his
  793. 24:12footwork, and I think he's very very
  794. 24:14crafty when it comes to that. And I do
  795. 24:15think he's going to have success in this
  796. 24:17fight. I think this is going to be a
  797. 24:19competitive decision fight where either
  798. 24:21guy could really come away with it. I
  799. 24:22just think that Smith has bigger power,
  800. 24:25way more athletic, way more explosive,
  801. 24:28very good grappling when he gets on top.
  802. 24:31He can be taken down. He can be out
  803. 24:33scrambled by Crofty Evets. But, I I
  804. 24:35think fundamentally Davey Grant is going
  805. 24:38to have most success striking and kind
  806. 24:39of piece him up, counter him early on.
  807. 24:42But, I think that Smith's physicality is
  808. 24:44a huge factor to consider and I think
  809. 24:45it's going to make Davey Grant a little
  810. 24:47bit more defensive and kind of punching
  811. 24:49to be moving more than just standing his
  812. 24:51ground and kind of and trading, which is
  813. 24:53where we see him get these KO's. So, I
  814. 24:54think that the the pop and the thud and
  815. 24:57the the snap of of
  816. 24:59Elijah Smith is going to put Davey Grant
  817. 25:00a little bit more on the defensive and
  818. 25:02make him a little bit more pitter-patter
  819. 25:03and, you know, maybe make it a close
  820. 25:05fight, but I think Elijah Smith will
  821. 25:07probably have the bigger moments with
  822. 25:08his physicality. Like, getting
  823. 25:09takedowns, landing big shots that Davey
  824. 25:12Grant just doesn't see coming cuz he's
  825. 25:13way faster and way more powerful. Um I
  826. 25:16think it's going to be a decision win
  827. 25:17for Elijah Smith. Maybe he finds a a
  828. 25:19submission, um depending if he's just
  829. 25:22better than I think, but I do think he
  830. 25:24can win this fight. I I really like
  831. 25:26Elijah Smith as a prospect, but I think
  832. 25:27Davey Grant's going to be a tough fight
  833. 25:29for him. All right?
  834. 25:30Co-main event, we've got Tatiana Suarez
  835. 25:32versus Viviane Araujo D'obera.
  836. 25:35I'm going with Araujo D'obera to win
  837. 25:36this, bro. I think that Tatiana Suarez
  838. 25:39is Listen, there's a lot of things to
  839. 25:40like about Tatiana Suarez. She's very
  840. 25:42physically imposing. She's got a big
  841. 25:43frame, big reach, big strength for the
  842. 25:46division.
  843. 25:47But, I feel like she's pretty
  844. 25:48one-dimensional. Like, she doesn't
  845. 25:49really strike. She's like a southpaw.
  846. 25:52She'll throw a couple punches and then
  847. 25:54she wants to get a hold of you. And if
  848. 25:55she gets a hold the body lock, she's
  849. 25:56very, very effective. Um if she can get
  850. 25:59you against the cage, she will just
  851. 26:01smudge you there. She'll get her hands
  852. 26:02together. She'll dump you.
  853. 26:03Um
  854. 26:04The biggest weapons that she has in
  855. 26:06terms of her finishing ability and her,
  856. 26:07you know, fight altering moments are the
  857. 26:09guillotine and the rear naked choke.
  858. 26:12But, when she gets reversed or when she
  859. 26:13gets taken down, she doesn't really look
  860. 26:16to sweep or, you know, build back up to
  861. 26:19her initially. She's looking to wrestle
  862. 26:20up and keep it going. And I don't think
  863. 26:22that on her back she's very effective at
  864. 26:24all. And there's no ground and pound
  865. 26:26really doesn't Again, her striking is
  866. 26:28not really anything worth noting.
  867. 26:30Whereas Viviane Araujo D'obera, I mean,
  868. 26:32know she's a mean but she's low-key
  869. 26:33good. Like she's actually the female
  870. 26:35Honey Badger in my opinion. She's very
  871. 26:37crafty with her BJJ. She times her
  872. 26:39takedowns very well. I fully expect her
  873. 26:41to kind of surprise Tatiana Suarez and
  874. 26:43time her with a takedown. And if Tatiana
  875. 26:45Suarez jumps the guillotine on her, I
  876. 26:47mean maybe she gets subbed but I think
  877. 26:48Virna Jandiroba is so experienced and so
  878. 26:50good in the grappling that she can
  879. 26:51probably get out of it uh better than me
  880. 26:53and [ __ ] get on top and control the
  881. 26:55round. I don't think Tatiana Suarez will
  882. 26:56have easy time getting back up without
  883. 26:59wrestling up and maybe giving up her own
  884. 27:00neck or getting her back taken. So, I I
  885. 27:02think that the problem for
  886. 27:05Bro, my
  887. 27:08You guys can't hear my cat but this
  888. 27:10[ __ ] is like still going at the
  889. 27:12door trying to get in just to [ __ ]
  890. 27:14leave in 10 seconds. I'm actually
  891. 27:15getting sick of this [ __ ] bro. But
  892. 27:16regardless, um the problem for Suarez in
  893. 27:20terms of her her lone loss to Weili
  894. 27:23Zhang were uh sorry, Jandiroba, her loss
  895. 27:26to Mackenzie Dern most recently
  896. 27:28is when someone can be offensive off
  897. 27:30their back. Like she's going to take you
  898. 27:32down but if somebody can be actively
  899. 27:35punching off their back, threatening
  900. 27:36submissions, right? Genuinely sweeping
  901. 27:39and scrambling and reversing position.
  902. 27:41That is her problem, right? And on the
  903. 27:42feet, Mackenzie Dern is a blockhead.
  904. 27:44She's going to throw strikes. She's
  905. 27:45going to land. Um and I think that in
  906. 27:47this fight it's going to just be Suarez
  907. 27:49kind of standing around looking to get
  908. 27:50takedowns. And even if she takes down
  909. 27:52Virna, I think Jandiroba has shown she
  910. 27:54has good sweeps, good get-ups. She has
  911. 27:56legit jiu-jitsu off her back. She can
  912. 27:58wrestle up without giving up her neck.
  913. 27:59She can get to good positions. She can
  914. 28:01get on top. And I think overall her
  915. 28:02grappling IQ is higher. Has better
  916. 28:05boxing. She's going to be on the front
  917. 28:06foot. She's going to be a gritty
  918. 28:07gritster. She's probably going to slow
  919. 28:09down in the third, get taken down, and
  920. 28:11lose the entire round. But I'm going to
  921. 28:13go with Virna Jandiroba by 29-28
  922. 28:15decision. I think that she's very
  923. 28:16underrated and I think she probably wins
  924. 28:18that fight, all right, man? Main event
  925. 28:20of the evening, we've got Waldo Cortez
  926. 28:22Acosta. I have been stemming the
  927. 28:24Dominican dad like versus Johnny Walker.
  928. 28:27I know black I Dominican. I know black,
  929. 28:29bro. I'm nunca going to be black. I'm
  930. 28:31Dominican, papi. We got Waldo versus
  931. 28:34Johnny Walker.
  932. 28:36This is an interesting main event cuz I
  933. 28:38do feel like the chinny narrative for
  934. 28:40Johnny Walker, it's not fully proven at
  935. 28:42heavyweight. We don't really know,
  936. 28:44right? There's got to be something to
  937. 28:45the fact that this guy's now not cutting
  938. 28:4740 lbs, right? Like there's got to be
  939. 28:49something to that. I think that the
  940. 28:51weight cut is a very underrated part of
  941. 28:52this this breakdown.
  942. 28:54And when it comes to them as fighters, I
  943. 28:56think obviously Waldo Cortes Acosta is
  944. 28:58the better boxer, but he's very low
  945. 28:59output.
  946. 29:01And that kind of makes me think this
  947. 29:02will go longer than people expect. Um
  948. 29:04one thing about Waldo is he will cover
  949. 29:06distance quite well with like three to
  950. 29:07four strikes. Like he has fast counters
  951. 29:09with the right hand. Usually though,
  952. 29:11like he can he has these moments where
  953. 29:13he's like cover distance bang bang bang.
  954. 29:15Or, you know, pull back right hand super
  955. 29:17effective, you know what I mean? Like
  956. 29:18he's got that a couple times, but
  957. 29:20otherwise he does just kind of like jab
  958. 29:22and jiggle around. Like he's
  959. 29:24gets hit with calf kicks, gets hit with
  960. 29:25leg kicks. He isn't chinny to the legs
  961. 29:28like some of my goats, you know what I
  962. 29:29mean? But he does get hit with them. And
  963. 29:31I think overall Waldo does struggle with
  964. 29:33guys that can move around and be light
  965. 29:35on their feet and control the range and
  966. 29:37land jabs, land kicks, mix in the clinch
  967. 29:40and the wrestling. And I think Johnny
  968. 29:42Walker has a decent style to kind of
  969. 29:43frustrate Waldo Cortes Acosta. Like he's
  970. 29:45going to spam leg kicks. He will like
  971. 29:47kick and then put a punch right behind
  972. 29:49it. I could see that working decently
  973. 29:50well on Waldo who doesn't really, you
  974. 29:52know, address those kicks too much. Like
  975. 29:54he'll just kind of pull back his legs. I
  976. 29:56think his head will still be on center
  977. 29:57line.
  978. 29:59And one thing about Johnny Walker that
  979. 30:00we all know is he's very effective in
  980. 30:02the clinch. If he gets a hold of Waldo
  981. 30:03Waldo Cortes Acosta, I think he's going
  982. 30:05to have success with knees to the body,
  983. 30:07elbows. Um when he breaks out of the
  984. 30:09clinch, I do think he could maybe get
  985. 30:11caught with a big right hand. Um and
  986. 30:13Walker can be backed up if you can shut
  987. 30:15down the leg kicks. If you can make it a
  988. 30:17straight I'm in your face boxing with
  989. 30:19you like a Volkan Oezdemir or Magomed
  990. 30:21Ankalaev who actually check the kicks
  991. 30:23very very well. The And Dominick Reyes
  992. 30:25as well, obviously being a southpaw,
  993. 30:26those leg kicks weren't really there as
  994. 30:28much.
  995. 30:29That is when he when he has troubles,
  996. 30:30right? Um because then when it comes to
  997. 30:33the boxing, he'll he'll frame out with
  998. 30:35his feet together. He'll put his chin
  999. 30:37up. He really relies on the fact that
  1000. 30:40people are worried about running into
  1001. 30:41him and getting caught. And I think back
  1002. 30:43to guys like Oezdemir who were able to
  1003. 30:44like jab to the body and then find shots
  1004. 30:47up top and then eventually chin him.
  1005. 30:49It's interesting breaking them down cuz
  1006. 30:51I could see a world where Walker just
  1007. 30:53spams kicks and Waldo kind of jiggles
  1008. 30:54around at range and flicks the jab and
  1009. 30:57both guys don't really commit to
  1010. 30:58anything much else and it's a close
  1011. 30:59fight. And I could also see a world
  1012. 31:02where, you know, Waldo is getting pieced
  1013. 31:04and kind of nukes Johnny Walker on the
  1014. 31:06chin on the break of a clinch. It's It's
  1015. 31:07They They have similar things that could
  1016. 31:10bother the other person in terms of
  1017. 31:11their what they're good at, what they're
  1018. 31:12bad at. I don't know why, but I think
  1019. 31:14this fight's going to be boring as [ __ ]
  1020. 31:16Like that's my prediction. I think that
  1021. 31:17this is going to be a snoozer. I think
  1022. 31:20this is either going to be a Waldo
  1023. 31:22Cortes da Costa round two KO
  1024. 31:24or this is going to be like Thiago
  1025. 31:26Santos versus Johnny Walker. It seems
  1026. 31:28like Walker has figured out not to just
  1027. 31:31jump around and fight with his [ __ ]
  1028. 31:33chin up. And Waldo is also very low
  1029. 31:35output, like I said. He's not going to
  1030. 31:37rush things. And I feel like sometimes
  1031. 31:39that almost costs him decisions where
  1032. 31:41he's just getting stuck with body kicks
  1033. 31:42and leg kicks.
  1034. 31:44Landing his jab, you know, landing big
  1035. 31:46overhands that kind of get blocked and
  1036. 31:47they're glancing and he gets hit with
  1037. 31:48stuff that's glancing and it's It's very
  1038. 31:50tough to say who won. Whereas Walker
  1039. 31:53will probably have higher output, bigger
  1040. 31:55moments, like more explosive moments.
  1041. 31:57Even if they're not landing fully clean
  1042. 31:59on Waldo, I feel like Waldo is not going
  1043. 32:02to like force the issue too much against
  1044. 32:04Johnny Walker as this fight goes on. I'm
  1045. 32:06going to say Johnny Walker wins this by
  1046. 32:08decision. I'm going to say this is a
  1047. 32:09[ __ ] snoozer. I'll say Johnny Walker
  1048. 32:12spams leg kicks, spams calf kicks. Waldo
  1049. 32:15doesn't necessarily get rocked with them
  1050. 32:17the way that Zhangmingyang did or like
  1051. 32:18Mick Parkin. Maybe he does. Maybe Walker
  1052. 32:20just destroys him. But I'll say that
  1053. 32:22that Waldo does a little bit better
  1054. 32:23dealing with that. But that stops him
  1055. 32:26from throwing his jab as much. That
  1056. 32:27stops him from kind of covering distance
  1057. 32:29as much. And it's mainly just Johnny
  1058. 32:31Walker kind of jiggling around, popping
  1059. 32:33the jab, popping the leg kicks, whipping
  1060. 32:35up [ __ ] you know what I mean? Waldo
  1061. 32:37tries to rush him. Johnny Walker
  1062. 32:38clinches him up.
  1063. 32:40A lot of just fainting and and backing
  1064. 32:42themselves up against the cage kind of
  1065. 32:43waiting for the other guy to do
  1066. 32:44something stupid. I think that Waldo's
  1067. 32:47game works best against blobs. Whereas
  1068. 32:49Johnny Walker like his losses, Volkan
  1069. 32:51Oezdemir not a bad loss at all. Magomed
  1070. 32:53Ankalaev not a bad loss at all. Like I
  1071. 32:55think Johnny Walker is going to look so
  1072. 32:57much faster at heavyweight than he has
  1073. 32:59at light heavyweight compared to the
  1074. 33:00guys that he's fighting now. Waldo is
  1075. 33:02not slow. He's not plodding, but he is
  1076. 33:03still a blob. So I think that Johnny
  1077. 33:06Walker does have the type of game to
  1078. 33:08kind of frustrate Waldo Cortes da Costa
  1079. 33:10and win a decision or he's getting nuked
  1080. 33:12out cold. That's kind of my opinions on
  1081. 33:13it. But let me know your predictions in
