 Two men walk into the octagon one walks out Well, the referee also walks in and then if there's a big old millennia at the end of the fight a whole bunch of people in the octagon So hello Welcome to octagon st. Leveau. I'm your hostess Betty st. Leveau on this show. We talk about MMA UFC history and sometimes we talk about past press conferences. I'm a novice I don't know too much about but I've got MMA UFC fever and then at other times talk about the fights to come today I'm not sure how I'm going to start out. I think that What I really should do is Just start out with mr. Chuck Liddell. We've got a big old fight coming up this Saturday night John Boone's Jones against Alexander the Mala Guffson and Chris Christine Chris Slybug Santos against Amanda the Linus Nunes, but I think we're going to start out with mr. Chuck because the last episode It was ladies night part one this episode's late nights part two last week's subtitle was Chuck and Tito Chuck and Tito too. So our subtitles tonight today is Chuck Chuck Liddell was the first MMA legend to catch my eye Randy Couture was the second one They're both simultaneous in a way, but Chuck definitely Took my breath away as my first legend He's a former light middle middleweight have a former light middleweight oh Pardon me I'm looking at his and the Tito statistics Chuck actually his nickname's the iceman. He is a UFC light heavyweight champion He said 23 victories He grew up looking at kung fu theater. He was a street fighter. He had a black belt by the age of 16. He went to Cal California Polytechnic got an accounting degree with honors, but knew that His heart lay being a fighting man. He was actually a football player also in college as well as a wrestler John Lewis was his trainer his first trainer and he taught Chuck Jiu Jitsu and Tito or teats his famous rival also Trained at the same time and I think May 15th was his first fight 1998 it was a late heavyweight route and he fought Jose Lando John's paylay It was a bare knuckle fight and he won by decision that might have been his first or second fight So Chuck's been around for a for a while Both Tito or teats and Chuck Lodale were managed by Dana in the very early days of You see He also knows kung fu Koei conquerati. He's a black belt and he's got developed grappling technique He's 22 and his kickboxing technique is incredible. So His first fight was Jose Lando Jones His second fight was with Jeremy Horn He was choked out by Jeremy his third fight was UFC 31 new ownership And he fought kennel Kevin Randleman And he stunned him with a left and a left and a right he also fought pride and Had a TKO, but I don't know who he got who he gave the TKO the Tito or teats and the kinship rock fight had to happen before Chuck could face off Tito and it's well known that Tito didn't want to fight Chuck because Chuck would always get the best from and sparring So When Chuck fought Randy Couture Randy was 40 years old and he out wrestled him and out stroke him out stroke him And then I think after that he was able to fight Tito now my nose They're kind of neat and they're written kind of hurdly. I really just want to get this all right, but I know for sure that Tito who is the people's champ was certainly scared of mr. Chuck the Iceman Liddell now This last one's reasons why I'm talking about Chuck this episode is because he and Tito had knocked down drag mail on Tito's side a couple weeks ago And despite the fact that you know Tito gets made fun of because he has a head shape like a melon and nobody likes him and This this third this third fight Tito walk Tito comes in and people are booing him, you know, they don't like the shape of his head whatever and Chuck walks in everyone's Happy, I mean Chuck is Chuck's the man so There are a lot of people who are like oh the fight should have happened because Chuck came out of retirement And Dana white and I just want to say on the last couple episodes. I've called mr. Dana white Dana cook I didn't mean to do that I was getting him mixed up with dain cook the comedian. How could I get these two guys mixed up? But mr. Dana white was very disapproving of the fight that happened between Chuck and Tito, so I've done so few breakdowns in my newly MMA fever that I've had But I did watch um I did watch this particular fight Between Chuck and Tito. So the first minute I didn't see any contact and Tito kicked out a couple times and I thought the kicks were lame and then He gave Chuck a right hook and he kept backing Chuck up and then uh Tito Did a roundhouse kick and Chuck got knocked down And then I heard the audience chanting and then Tito After that he tries to chuck, but he almost falls down like he falls down as he's trying to hit Chuck So the guys and their announcers and all respect to them I wish I had their job. They must have a lot of fun But someone one of them said this is a great fight. It wasn't a great fight It was a lame fight and it's not because Chuck Liddell's not a good fighter But it just wasn't a good fight. I don't know if that's useful or not so um After the guy after one of the announcers all respects said this is a great fight and again, I'm saying no, it's not Tito, uh Gets uh Tito gets chuck on the chin And then on the nose twice and the fight was over. It was first round so uh After it was all said done and this is why I love the sport and this is why chuck Liddell's a man Chuck posted His thoughts about the fight on youtube What a class act he said My respect to the fans. Thank you all for your love and support I know a lot of people have talked about the fight. These are my thoughts on it props to tito I'm a fighting man. Uh, I thought long hard about getting the ring. I just wanted to do it. I'm a fighter Love and respect to you all uh that this is my path I might be on a different path and I hope you support that too Chuck Liddell is a class act. Okay. Um, I can't say anything All I can do is say good about chuck Liddell, but all I'll be doing is repeating myself if I say it so I just wanted to uh Give you a little bit of My wobbly mma ufc history that I'm learning. Okay. Now, let's go on to Um, I think we're going to go on to the guys before we hit ladies night. So now we're going to go on to the main event You'll see 232 John blonde jones and i was alexa maul of guffason all right, so This is the second fight between these two men And I checked out, um Uh, who else was fighting that night? So we're going to go down matt. We're going to get that out of the way really quickly So 10 p.m. He says stand in time main called ufc 232 jones and guffason then cyborg chris cyborg and mated newness women's featherweight michael chiezza and carlos condit cori anderson ill latifi chad mendez and alex vulcan vilski On the preliminary card, we've got andrea lofsky versus walt harris and I think this is fox sports one 8 p.m. Hope I got that channel, right andrea lofsky walt harris megan anderson katsugano douglas silva deandre andrade peter yann brine hall Versus bj pen lightweight division And then preliminary called ufc fight panel 6 30 p.m. Eastern standard time andrea Ew and that would you're a hall versus bevin lewis See ya That has was that yada versus kurtis melinda Montel jackson versus brine kehiller now. I had everyone stats there, but that would have taken too much time Hope you all check it out. I'll be catching it on the flip side. I think a little bit after I have I have yet to uh, you know Do a pay-per-view really and one day I will all right so um because Here we go. All right because um This fight is coming up uh guffison and jones and it's the second one I watched the first one And so I think that was it's either my first Breakdown my second breakdown, but I think it's the second breakdown. I ever did And it was kind of scary how I was checking it out. Let's see if I've got it All right. Yeah, I've got a few notes about right here. Okay I watched a christmas eve around noon and Uh, they both looked evenly matched I found out today that guffsons reaches actually longer than john's But they're both pretty evenly matched The fight Was a fight. I I didn't see thinking about the ordinary and then I saw this A spinning knee kick And I saw spinning elbow kick that jones did that looked absolutely lethal. He did it a couple of times and it was so fast I I don't know Again too much about mma, but that was the first time I saw something like that That I can remember and it made me gasp um Mr. Jones is a He's a good fighter He comes off cold Talks in monotone He's pretty cold, but what a fighter man. I mean I guess that coldness I guess to do those vicious spinning Knee kicks and the spinning elbow the spinning elbow thing that comes to a place of uh, almost sociopathic violence. I'm just saying Uh I've tried to like the guy the guy's in like bolt, but what a fighter. All right So as I'm looking at my notes I can't find my stats and tell the tape on guffsison Can't find my till the tape, but we're going to be checking out the fight Uh Next week or a couple weeks from now. It's saturday night as we know and it's it's going to be lethal I do have some notes on the presser Which uh, you know jones isn't a white shirt But he's got white shoes on which ever since my sign for days. That's a no no white shoes Sorry, dude and uh guffston. He's like in a gray sweat sweat shirt and They both seem pretty relaxed. So they get out there. It's the the presser's over they get out And they're standing and then you know jones gets in front of gusts and then gusts gets in front of jones And then jones shoves him Save it for the fight, dude. You save that for the fight Uh Look him up and down all you want, but again, these are fighters like Oh, i'm really going to like a boss john bone jones rebound about how he's not supposed to shove someone around Right. But anyway, it looked um Look cheesy and just I can't like the guy. I don't know. Um Uh, I'd like gusts to win. I think jones is going to win. He's he's a lethal fighter jones gusts is hungry or mallers hungry, but um I don't know I I I got to go with jones now a friend of mine very kindly said to me today. Oh You said kabebe was going to win. I said you're very sweet I didn't say that and he kept telling me you called it. You called it All I said was whoever puts the pressure on first is going to win. Um in this case Because jones cheats on steroids. He's a cheater Any finger poats guys? Yeah, he'll probably win by decision, but my heart's with gusts. That's all I can feel That's all I want to say about that now. We'll go straight to lady's night because Even though the guys are going to brawl it out the gals. This is going to be a monster of fight. All right So we talked a little bit about this last week um Let's see. Let me know I got my gal snoots here somewhere um All right. Yeah, it's uh as ladies go and as um, oh, pardon me. I think me notes right over here Okay, here we go. All right, so I have notes from last week to back up what um I wanted to say today, but these notes today Are literally the table tape so This this Saturday's fight is for the world's featherweight title. Okay, the female world's featherweight title so we've got Christine sidebook sandals justina Justina sandals as the front runner and we've got a man of newness as not not so much the front runner And I haven't figured out the statistics yet, but Christine is leading by negative 260 And amanda is trillion by plus 220. So I'm going to find out what that means by the next episode Christine doesn't bother with submissions According to the bleacher report. She's a brown building to just so she said 20 wins 17 by knockout None by submission and I believe 11 of those were first round finishes She's lethal as a fighter. Okay She's a type of fighter that when she smells blood the fights over. All right Fighting holly home one of the all-time greatest strikers who knocked out ronda rosy That was a challenge for for chris. Okay, she's 5'8 She's 33 years old weighs 145 pounds and she has a 68 inch reach Um, she tk owed uh, yana Kuniskaya A minute ago who was three three and 18 um, and chris trains out chris cyborg fitness camp um Her stance and striking style are orthodox moitoy She's a ufc featherweight champ. She participated in strike force in victor. She's a champ She's a brilliant jiu-jitsu brown belt a 10 first 10 first round finishes on 11 Um, her killer instinct is superb. She's an evolved striker. She's got strong inside clinch And famous for body locks and lateral drops and she's a no nonsense scrappler. All right Um, now look at amanda's record. Her nickname is the Lioness. She's a bantam weight champion Uh, she said 11 of 16 careers wins Uh, Pardon me. She's 16 4 116 lost 4 She said 11 of those 16 career wins have been via knockout. Okay, amanda has a punch that is incredible Uh, she's got great footwork And she won the ufc title by a rare naked choke now I'm learning those wrestling terms as I go along If chris cyberg are going to chell sun and Is the baddest woman alive? amanda nunez is the champ of the world. Okay Uh, chris is bigger, but amanda is going to give her trouble and I don't know if I'm quoting chael sun in there or myself, but I don't think chris has met anyone like amanda before in the octagon. All right, so amanda's been studying karate since she was four and she's been a boxer since she was 16 She's five eighths just like chris She's 145 pounds like chris, but her reach is two inches longer. She's got a 70 inch reach Her last win was uh over rachel pentton by tko. That was uh may of this year And she trains have american top team That's her camp Her stance and striking style is orthodox moi toll night ufc benway champ brazil and jiu jitsu black belt brown belt in judo 11 ko's 11 first round finishes. She's got underrated footwork This is to quote emma junkie Improved jab strong inside glitch and heavy ground strikes This is called pressure pressure pressure pressure whoever this a pressurized fight I'm learning that from chael and and a couple other people Whoever puts the pressure on amanda's going to put the pressure on chris going to put the pressure on so uh amanda called chris out um And I think that amanda understands that she is about to come up against a very formidable opponent I I think chris knows that too My bets on cyborg, uh, I love amanda. She's the lioness. I'm a leo Who who doesn't love the lioness who can't love amanda? Always upbeat always positive. Um I uh If I could train with amanda, but I'm nearly a lowly fencer. I'm not a fighter But I think christine. I think chris is gonna win chris is just bigger She's more powerful, but amanda She's just like that connor mack connor mcgregor. You can't count you can't count her out. You can't count the lioness out My best wishes to everyone who's going to fight saturday night There can only be one person walking in the octagon and there can only be one winner walking out, but um I wish I could do what they could do, you know But i'm glad that they're doing what they're doing and we want them to keep doing what they're doing. I do not I would not want to have an mma fighter bag my grocery. So that's not that's not their Their place in life. They're supposed to be doing this okay, so On that note, that's it for me.
