JRE MMA Show #1

and we're live so literally this morning i had this thought um i thought about
it a bit yesterday
and this morning i thought of it i was like why don't you just do it i said i
need to do like
some sort of a an mma recap show because there's always so much shit that's
happening
that i miss a lot of it i don't get a chance to talk to a lot of it i love
doing it with brendan
he's my favorite because we get so silly and because he loves mma as much as i
do you know
i could talk to him forever about it so i'm sure i'll do some of those
definitely in the future
with him uh he's really good at breaking down fights too man he he has a he's
got a skeptical
eye for things and he has a great obviously he's a high level professional
heavyweight fighter but he
also has a real good understanding of where someone is at various stages of
their career
i think that's big because fighters have like these peaks and valleys and you
never know where they're
at you know like fighting is a hard hard business and the idea that you could
stay at like a super
high level for a long period of time that just doesn't seem to be the case it
seems like everybody's
body starts giving out after a certain period of time after a certain amount of
time
cage fighting your body's just giving out unless you're a guy like gsp that
takes all this time
off which i think was brilliant now in in retrospect he knew what we all didn't
know he really was in
fucking amazing shape he really was fighting i don't say amazing cardio shape
because that's one
legit criticism that brendan had is that he looked like he was getting tired
and it was pretty early in the fight
the guy was off for four years and he's stepping right in fighting bisping who's
the middleweight champion that is not
easy that's very hard bisping keeps a fast pace he's got amazing cardio he's
tough as shit
like there was a tall order
like to see him come back like that but he i think he recognized that grind was
too heavy on him but he
wasn't done yet you know he was only 32 i think when he retired 32 is that
right somewhere in that range
comes back at 36 i'm like wow what's you know what are the odds he's actually
going to be
better than he was before or look good he looked fucking amazing he looked like
a bigger better version
of the the welterweight champion george st pierre was weird it was weird to see
i mean is i don't want to
say that i doubted him because i did not doubt him because i'm very open-minded
and i have a deep
respect for george i think he's amazing he's just a great person a great
example of in my opinion like
how a champion should carry himself like george has always been like one of my
favorite examples
because you see him and you're like like that guy is like well-spoken he's
friendly he's genuine
and he's super open-minded in terms of like
uh his willingness to listen to coaches and formulate a good game plan and
always be trying out new stuff
like he spent a lot of time working with those guys in uh henzo gracie's the
donnaher death squad
there's a lot of images of them training together if he's training with like gary
tonin
and some of these fucking animals i mean john donnaher is a wizard and he's he's
done just
this amazing job with eddie cummins and these kids that he has in new york that
are these leg lock
masters i mean it's just gordon ryan they're just animals these guys are
killing people and for george to
be in the mix with those guys like he's he's getting down with some serious
fucking strangle experts
so for just knowing that he's training with those guys because eddie cummins
has been killing
tournaments gary tonin's been killing turd they've all ryan's been killing
tournaments that all those
kids nicky ryan his brother too they're all animals so these guys like donnaher
has this great group of
really savage jujitsu players and george is diving into that mix comes to la he's
doing boxing with
freddie roach you know he's one of the best boxing coaches in the world manny
pacquiao's
trainer so he's like getting down with like real boxing trainers he's getting
down with real jujitsu
coaches and he never stopped he never stopped which is just amazing and it's
amazing he could just
jump right back in dominic cruz sent me a text message right after it was over
he said i told you
ring rust is bullshit and unfortunately dominic just broke his arm i don't know
the the specifics of
it but that's a that's a huge bummer he's uh he's got to be chomping at the bit
now to get back in
there now that tj just knocked out cody garbrandt he must be chomping chomping
at the bit um so a few
of the fights that went down really recently uh this past weekend pettis and poirier
holy shit what a good
fight that was that was crazy that's a crazy fight and dustin poirier at 155
pounds seems like a
different person he's just so much healthier at 155 and he looked awesome the
joe duffy fight too and
this this fight was a big big win for him though former champion in pettis guy
who was a champion of
strike force too i mean shit that's a it's a big win you know anthony pettis is
a tough loss it
seemed like he had broken a rib or something like there was something going on
like when he
got mounted he had to tap
you know that's uh that's very unfortunate but pettis just looked really good
in his last fight
who did pettis fight he fought and beat in his last fight
did he fight gilbert melendez jim miller that's right that's right
who did gilbert melendez fight you know what i just watched the other day
i re-watched gilbert melendez oh gilbert fought
who was it that kicked his legs god damn it can't believe i'm forgetting this
jeremy stevens that's what sorry jeremy jesus christ that was like one of jeremy
stevens's
finest performances i forgot who did it there's too many fights i have to erase
my brain data i gotta
erase some dan severin footage from the 90s i just i have to i can't though out
of respect but i have
just uh too many fights floating around my fucking head that fight was a good
fight though because
that was the pettis and poirier fight is a fight between two guys that are like
legit top 10 contenders
like either one of them with a couple of good wins could be fighting for the
title and maybe for
poirier that was enough to get him in there and fight for the title but it's
like you got a just a shark pool
there tony ferguson is the interim champ who knows what the fuck is going to
happen now with connor
because connor was involved in some sort of an altercation with referee mark
goddard where he
jumped into the cage while the fight had not been called yet apparently this is
mark goddard's
interpretation of it and i think connor's connor's uh he made an apology and i
think what he was
basically saying was that he was angry that the referee had not stopped the
fight first he thought
the referee had stopped the fight and then he was angry that he had not because
he gets like really
concerned when someone's taking a beating too much and he felt like this guy
really was out of it and
taking a beating i think where the confusion was and i hope i'm not fucking
this up we'll check
the confusion was i think that mark goddard was saying essentially that
he had not known whether or not the bell had gone off he knows he knew the bell
was close but he did
not know whether it had gone off it was too loud in there for him to hear it
and he was concerned i
believe that it went off and so that's when he stepped in because he thought
the round was over he
was not necessarily calling the fight yet then when connor mcgregor jumped in
since he hadn't already
called the fight he was in a bad situation because the fight technically
speaking was still going on
i hope i'm not fucking this up did i fuck that up he made a statement on
facebook
yes and by the way i felt the way he wrote this statement was really it was it
was not just like
very professional it was it was very um poised i was very impressed with it i
don't want to read the
whole thing but he essentially says the first round is progressing and then so
when the guy when the guy
got hurt he said he connected uh charlie ward connected with a left hand that
slumped john redmond
to his knees and at this exact point i could not and had not made my
determination that john was either
out of the contest or not in the position position to intelligently defend
himself the punch and the
action that followed naturally resulted in a surge of crowd noise one that was
so significant i had
already made my determination that i could not audibly hear the bell sound for
the end of the round
i had made my decision to step in with the belief that the bell had indeed been
sounded which in actual
fact it had not this is a critical fact to the ensuing proceeding so apparently
it there was a massive
amount of confusion because of the noise
and so it looked like a it looked like a very reasonable stoppage see if you
can find the video
footage to me because there's a bunch of video of the brawl itself and all the
craziness that that happened
with it but it definitely seemed like if they if i remember correctly i've seen
it but last time i saw
it was a couple days ago it looked like a really reasonable stoppage like a
smart stoppage i could
see it and you go yeah that guy's he's getting hurt he's they should stop this
and then i think connor
just assumed when he stepped in which you would especially if it's that loud
you assume there's no bell
and mark goddard steps in
see connor runs in and he tackles him to the ground and then but there's
already corner men in there
and so these guys are hugging and mark goddard is trying to get control of the
octagon
and so connor comes at him and pushes him and he's yelling at him
this this this is a just a terrible scene terrible scene you know and i'm sure
connor if he could take
it back would take it back because i'm sure he you know realized that this is a
disaster and he even
apologized you know you can't you can't do that you can't run in you got to be
sure that the referee
stopped the fight
and you know i mean they have to have control of the octagon otherwise anything
can happen right
anybody can get it in any time not just a friend but somebody wants to hurt you
so they don't know what i mean obviously they knew that connor was probably
coming in to
congratulate his friend but they you can't make them give up the rules like the
rules are in place for a
very good reason to protect the athletes people get super emotional about
fights and there's many
times i would believe that if they weren't like very very stringent in how they
allow the athletes
to behave like have a really stringent set of rules if they didn't do that
those guys would fight a lot
i mean there'd be a lot of chaos people would climb into the ring and beat the
out of each other we've
obviously had a few incidents where corners argued with each other but
relatively speaking when you
think about how many fights take place it's a very small number and it's one of
the reasons why is
because we have pretty clear rules like you have to listen to the referee at
all times it's real
simple like there's there's a time where the cage is shut and the referee is in
there and that guy has
control of that until he brings somebody in and he has to have control over it
if he calls the fight
then he he calls time and then he brings the doctors in or whatever he wants to
do or he stops the fight
that is entire it's got to entirely be his call and i see that connor thought
it was over and he's
probably like completely caught in the moment he's happy for his friend he dives
on his friend they're
celebrating he's thinking that there's going to be a bunch of people in there
any second now
because the fight's over he's thinking they're going to open it up and bruce
buffer is going to step in
but no it would have been bruce buffer is another organization but you know
what i'm saying whoever
their bruce buffer is but then somewhere along the line
