JRE Fight Companion - March 22, 2025

that i told you about the hey we're up we're up we're up we're up uh it's not a
good sign that
the fights are still going on for the prelims that must mean there's a lot of
decisions a lot of
prelims a lot of prelims but also a lot of decisions like usually they time it
out better because it's
like 304 now and this is 137 to go in the third round of jai herbert not ideal
no but you know
happens at least they're not doing it at five o'clock in the morning true that
was that was
fucking ridiculous if i was leon i'd be pissed what time was it in the uk when
they it's normal time
it's uh you know seven hours ahead yeah so it's nighttime there yeah so it's
like 10 p.m right
now it's normal are they six hours ahead or seven hours i thought it was seven
something like that
um but either way it's nighttime there so have you seen any of these guys yeah
jai herbert's the guy
that head kicked ilia taporia he dropped him out he dropped no he dropped the
vicious head game then ilia
fucking starched him in the next round he has great striking yeah very very
good kicks big prospect
real tall long lanky dude but you know ilia that guy he connects on anybody
they're going night night
oh joe you if you knew i know you can't probably talk about it but do you see
ilia's tweet where he's
like i'm gonna have big news you guys aren't expecting it yeah i don't know the
news you have
no clue no i don't know if i had a guess he's probably fighting a top contender
at 55. i don't
think but that wouldn't be unexpected you know i'm saying he's like you won't
see this coming so it's
not mark chef because we all assume that much is not finding much to go to the
70.
walking around at 186. he's big connor that's crazy connor had to have to be in
the testing pool for a long
time isn't he doing bare knuckle connor well he's running bare knuckle he's
like one of the one
of the others he's not gonna fight no he may he might get around for the
marching powder
hello the dude he's also running for president he might i mean i could see him
that would blow
bare knuckle right oh yeah i mean they'd have to pay him they'd have to pay him
versus jeremy stevens oh
my goodness jeremy would have to win a couple more times but jeremy's back in
the ufc no no jeremy's
undefeated and bella matador has been my oh he's changed his nickname but look
he's got a new identity
when we announce it you won't believe it get ready see when you say you won't
believe it you got to come
with some now yeah he got it but that was a while ago that's march 6th you know
what is today his 22nd
but that's the ufc being like don't announce it yet yeah i don't know you know
i don't know like if i
a perfect matchup is gaethje i think charles olivera oh that's a that's a great
that's
a great matchup that's a great matchup and now remember he tweeted that before
gaethje's
fight right i don't think it's gaethje oh right oh they're gonna stop oh man
that's a nasty
horrible place too oh boy but this is the last round i think i think the fight's
over might be over yeah
yeah oh there you go um dustin poirier no uh dustin's fighting max he is i
think so for the bmf
really i think double check that that's a great fight too i'm crazy the third
go around at 55 and
it's max proper see i think max should fight more at 55 i didn't like him going
back to 45. i think it's
too much of a struggle he got pretty big when he got up to fight gaethje he put
the weight on right
fantastic fantastic we all remember the knocking of gaethje in the last seconds
there but he was
molly whopping him before that he was beating his ass and it all started off
with that jump spinning
back kick to the face in the first round up gaethje's already fixed nose so
that max holloway the true
max holloway at 55 versus dustin for dustin's last fight in new orleans sure
take my money the thing is
you got to wonder like how much did that ilio taporia knockout take out of max
true because that was a
beating true ilia is just so dangerous he's so technical like his striking the
way he's like
bobbing in and moving he's so comfortable with his head movement he sees like a
step ahead of everybody
he's good at everything and then people are like oh he's too small for 55 i'm
like he's actually that
that narrative don't work he's a big boy well i think the 45 pound cut is look
man they should all
stop cutting weight that's the reality cutting weight is it's terrible for you
they need more weight classes
and they need to stop cutting weight they need to figure out a way to check
hydration levels and and
put people in a weight class and say this do they still do that in one they do
who knows what one's backed off mma like they have a big muay thai fight
tonight they backed off
mma really yeah they're really focused on kickboxing muay thai i think in asia
that gets a lot of numbers
big time and they put on shows man yeah there's a huge one tonight huge one
kickboxing and muay thai
fights i think the ufc up when they went with slap fighting i've been telling
them forever you guys
should get into kickboxing if you only like stand-up fights there's it's not
like the old days of
kickboxing where they're boring like pka karate there's characters man and the
knockouts are
crazy also all your champs are coming from kickboxing yeah alex izzy like you
some monsters kickboxing with
mma gloves in a cage would be giant in the ufc just have a striking only
segment of the ufc and glory's
coming back glory's doing a heavyweight competition soon glory's got some elite
fighters man i watch
glory all the time it's exciting but nobody's watching it nobody knows who
these people are you
just gotta educate the crowd put the same amount of resources you did in the
slap fight right into
kickboxing and we're cooking right and they're doing it with jiu-jitsu right
right they're doing they put
how many millions of dollars in jiu-jitsu and they even have more of a a budget
for it yeah a lot of
it's eddie you know they put a lot of it in the jiu-jitsu yeah mikey musumichi
a lot of it is not mine
yeah it is with usc fight no with usc fight no i'm saying as far as making it
popular like efi
all that like that's you were the one you know i know we're boys but you were
really the one to
navigate all that with fight pass that was huge yeah it was a big deal having
the ufc get involved
heavily in jiu-jitsu is huge are you still doing stuff with them yeah yeah i
have a great relationship
with them i think they're trying to put together some kind of like a tough show
now like an ultimate
fighter show for grappling which would be which would be cool because then you
can like build
a star from scratch yeah and get to know the guys exactly yeah you can get
people emotionally involved
because they exclusively signed mikey musumeshi right yeah boy it's hard to get
people to watch
those reality shows these days i think people kind of burned out on reality
shows you know dc and chaylor
shooting one right now they're shooting the ultimate fighter they gotta give up
on that bro and listen
uh i don't know where you watch it it's on espn plus i think is it i haven't
watched it in forever
no one i watch the finals i watch the finals to see how good the guys are you
know and see where
they're at you know i watch dana white's contender series probably more that's
the best thing in combat
sports as far as like talent like the the it's the best because they're super
hyped they have insane
motivation they have this unbelievable opportunity if they do that they get skyrocketed
into the and it's not
like ultimate fighter like where you can win based off grappling and you know
and just hold guys down
they become champion ufc contract dana white contender series there's dudes who
win and he's like nah
not excited enough yeah so dudes go for broke yeah sugar sean came from there i
mean there's so many
champs a lot of people came from there is it illegal to have a finish bonus in
the ufc like you get paid
whatever uh uh 80 000 to show 80 000 to win and then another 80 000 if you
finish the fight
so is that illegal no no no no definitely not illegal no they do it now with
performance bonuses
yeah a little bit or or or go gangster and go you know you have show money and
then you get extra
money like uh you know double but you have to knock them out or submit them see
otherwise you just get
to show money ufl does that i don't know everyone say it ufl does that oh
really yeah okay i think
that's a good idea what's ufl now what do you mean pfl no ufl what's ufo uh the
ufl's where like tony
fricks and dylan dance is fighting i thought that was gfl yeah gfl oh yeah yeah
yeah gfl sorry yeah
there's pfl there's gfl ufl something else but we were talking about the one
fight that i'm interested
yo romero and musashi that's a great fight that's a great fight that's one
fight that gfl's putting
together i'm like oh i'll watch that are they both over 40 they're 100 years
old yeah you're both 100.
yo is 79 years old dude i don't care he looks amazing well he's fighting in
bare knuckle yeah
too like he i saw some promo with some giant dude he's fighting do you see him
box that slap fight guy
bro that slap fight guy when he jumped up in the air i was like oh i up
yeah well just jumped up in the air for no reason like an alien right before he
decided to beat his
ass he just jumped straight up in the air and just some sloppy white guy you
seem to step forward
if the ufc does kickboxing they might as well just come out with a bang and go
bare knuckle
kickboxing it's not a bad idea take my money and that'll that'll you know that'll
get people to check
it out crazy would you do it separate from ufc events or would you do it like
would let me do it like
one where you have like mma fights and kickboxing mix it up i think you could
do whatever you wanted
but you could definitely could have a stand-up only show and it would be huge
yeah where they
break them up if they clinch against the cage you know you don't allow them to
clinch do it just
like kickboxing does separate them you know like there's no ground fighting
that's going backwards
to tell you the truth like really you think we had kickboxing no one watched it
we we already had it
no but when the ufc came out people all of a sudden people were into uh martial
arts again and if we go that's going
back i think i don't necessarily i see what you're saying but look the ufc does
grappling events right
the grappling events are pure grappling why not do pure striking events too and
then mma is always the
best well it was when the ufc blew up it was ufc two correct yeah nobody
watched ufc one they didn't
know if it was real that there was no b-roll right everyone watched ufc two and
did they get blown away
and get hooked by it uh because of the striking or because of the jujitsu well
it was because it was
hoist it was the jujitsu because people didn't realize that you could fight on
the ground i thought
fighting on the ground was for but then it went mainstream for a tough one with
stand-up with stefan
and forest but listen let's imagine uh that al ankoli and perera fight an only
kickboxing fight are you
telling me that's going to be boring that would be that's fucking insane yeah
they're boxing with
little gloves oh with mma gloves if they're going to do it i'd go bare knuckle
if it was up to me
because the thing about bare knuckle though is your face gets obliterated yes
the slices and cuts
people watch that people want to see the blood the hands break people want to
see that i i i
commentate for game bread where it's bare knuckle mma and seeing jds and alan
belcher and roy
they don't punch the same right the little cautious because they don't want to
break it's more
realistic so it's not it's more realistic yeah yeah which is it is it's just a
different product
what happened this starts in an hour but wait a minute it's not hilton no oh
this is the bare
knuckle that's the dirty box oh my goodness that's our boy mike is that too is
th
