 Two men walk into the octagon. One walks out. Well, you've got to count the referee. And if there's a big ol' Malie at the end of the fight, well, that's something too. Hello, this is Octagon St. Leveau, and I'm your hostess, Betty St. Leveau. On this show, we talk about the history of MMA. And because I'm a novice, I will continually cite such great channels such as Alpacathorus with that smooth-talking Mr. Curve and Reverend Kitty. Luke Thomas, Monday Morning MMA show. Weasel, Big Daddy of them all, kind of up with Alpaca, is Mixed Malie Woffery. Plus we have Clanak and Mind Smash and MMA On Point. So there's so much to choose from. Not every MMA channel is great, but the ones I just mentioned have helped my path become so wonderful exploring UFC MMA. So let's get on with the show. Now, today, I want to say that my man Mr. Curve, Alpacathosaurus, had taken such a hiatus on YouTube. We were all worried about him. But Mr. Curve came back with two excellent videos. You all need to check those out. Mainly, I've believed once about John Jones, and I can't remember what the other one's about. I can't wait for his breakdown on the Linus. Amanda Nunes and Chris Santos, Christian Cyborg, their fight as of a couple weeks ago. A big shout out to Amanda Nunes, who is the first woman in the history of MMA UFC to hold two belts at the same time. Badam Wade and Thather Wade. Hope I've got that right, Linus. Love you, hon. All right. So, 19th of January, we've got a big ol' fight card coming up. Alexander Hernandez versus Donald Cowboy-Saroni. Page Van Sant, excellent fighter against Rachel Ocevich, who looks a bit larger than Page. Gregor Gilepsi versus Yancey Medeiros. Pardon me if I pronounced that name wrong. My man Riesel says that Mr. Gregor Gilepsi is probably going to take that fight. Greg Hardy and Allen. Oh, I hope I got that right, Allen Crowder. And then the main fight of the night, Henry C. Judo versus T. Day Dileshaw. Mr. Kileshaw is probably going to win this one, I think. He looks a little bit lethal in the octagon. All right. So, oh, I wish I had brought my... I did. Excellent. Okay. So, I just discussed that the fighters who are going to be fighting in the next UFC match... The weight class is something that I've had to learn about. And I just took a crash course in it. So, some of the people I just mentioned, I've got their weights. For instance, Alexander Hernandez and Donald Cowboy-Saroni. They're fighting at 155. Paige Van Sant and Rachel Ostovic, I believe... I don't have their weights. I'm thinking that it's a straw weight division. Gregor Gilepsi and Yancey Medanos. I just have their reaches and their leg reaches. I don't have their weights so ever. Henry C. Jido and T. J. Dileshaw, I do have their weights down. Flyweight. So, we're going to head into the definitions for the different weight classes. All right. So, straw weight is only for women. And Karla Esperanza was crowned the inaugural champ. She only had the Karanthruthi Monso until Joanna Zizic won it. And Joanna hung on to it from 2013 to 2017. Flyweight is the tiniest. And I think that that's 120. From what I remember, she beat the current, I believe, straw weight, badm weight. Rose Namanuja. So, Rose did not win the first UFC women's championship, but Rose is our current belt holder. Great fighter. I love Vogue Rose. Next, we have... Okay, first is straw weight. Then we have fly weight. And that's the lightest class in the men's division. Demetrius Johnson, Mighty Mouse, won that inaugural title. He held it for five years, and he defended it 10 times. Demetrius Johnson is said to be the pound for pound, I think, best fighter in his division. He was recently traded for Ben Askren, who is trying to... He's looking for a fight in the UFC right now, and I don't think that he's found anybody yet. But Demetrius just got traded for Ben to some other championship fighting company, and I can't remember the name offhand. All right. Next, we have Ben Weight. That's 126 pounds to 135. Dominic Cruz held this title two separate times, and he defeated it three times, and then he lost the reign to Cody Galbraith UFC. I see I wrote 207 here. Now, in the women's division of Ben Weight, Ronda Rousey had the title for three years until Holly Holm kicked her in the head back in 2015, UFC 193. And then Holly... I want to say that she lost it to Amanda Nunes, who in turn defended it from Ronda with success. Okay? So, yes, Amanda still has a band of belt. Now, we come to the featherweight division. That's Conor McGregor's baby. That's his class, 136 to 145. And then he also won the lightweight at UFC 205. So he's currently holding, I still think, two belts. And they say this term interim champ, for instance. I think Conor's been interim champ. So has Mr. Tony Ferguson. And I have to just figure out what that definition means while I hear it all the time. All right. So the women's division featherweight, inaugurately, was won by Jermaine DeRandomay. And that division started a year before last, in 2017. Next, we come to lightweight. Conor currently holds that belt at 155 maximum. Welterweight with a maximum weight of 170 pounds. GSP, George St. Pierre, very elegant fighter. Held that belt from 208 to 213. Next, we come to the middleweight division. 185 pounds max, I believe. Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson are the big daddies of that particular belt, I believe. Anderson won the belt from Dan Henderson UFC 182. Next, we come to light heavyweight. A particular, I've fond of this weight class, 186 to, I believe, 215 pounds. Chuck Liddell, Frank Shamrock, John Jones, Tito Ortiz, and my man, Chale Sonnen, usually fight at light heavyweight. And last but not least, we come to heavyweight. And such excellent lethal fighters as King, Lascares, and Randy Kulcher have held that belt. And Stipe McElkich is the, pardon me, Mr. Stipe, pronounce your name wrong, is the current holder of that belt. Whew, I love looking at the divisions. So I believe the men's have seven divisions and the women have three. So that'll be explored more in the future. All right, so let's look at the women's, at the fight card for the women for a hot second here, Paige Van Sant and Rachel Ocevich. I've not heard of Miss Ocevich until today, but whenever I'm trying to figure out who I think is going to win, because I'm still a novice and I can never pick a winner, Rachel had the bigger thighs. And I remember when Tylone Woodley, congrats again, he's the current champ of, I want to say, middleweight. When he, the fan, I think, the tile from Darren Till, I noticed that he had the bigger thighs. So I'm thinking that the wrestler who's got the biggest thighs wins, but that's just me. So she's heavier than Paige, but Paige has more wins. She's 7-4-0, and Rachel's only 4-4-0, and she's more experienced fighters. So I think that Miss Van Sant's going to take this one. From what I remember when I was learning about Rose Neimanugis and Joanna Jasek's matches together, fights together, I think from what I remember, Joanna Rose beat Paige. So with the female fighters, I don't really know much about them, but Paige's name is very familiar and she seems like a good sport. I also saw her at a weigh-in. I love the fighters who usually shake hands, and as a matter of fact, most fighters do. There's camaraderie and respect for one another. When the beefs do happen, they are real beefs, but about 90% of the time, the fighters show good sportsmanship, which is another reason why I've come to like this sport. Now, I don't know. The only two names that are familiar to me on this fight called are Donald Cowboy Seroni, who on YouTube and other fighters younger than him, they call him an old man, but I think that he's a veteran fighter and he's very good. He's coming up against Alexander Hernandez, who the weasel on his show says is a hungry. So you got to watch out for those up-and-comers. The only other name that's familiar to me is T.J. Dillishaw, because of his infamous feud with T. Malphamale, that mixed Molly Walperie covered with insight and good humor on his channel. You got to check that out. So I learned a lot about, and not learned a lot about, but I came to learn some more about Uriah Faber, T.J. Dillishaw, Conor and Cody Garbrand and Dominic Cruz in a way that I had not known about them a few months ago. Conor kind of gave them the nickname, I think, of Dillsnake. I don't think he had that before. I'm not sure, but Conor was calling Mr. Dillsnake a lot and I kind of call him Killer, Killishaw or Kill Snake. T.J. Dillishaw has a rep for being extremely competitive even when he's sparring. I would not want to come up against him in Oxgon, no way. Jose and a pal of mine who's in MMA, he says his brother's more into it even than he is. We did this, who would you fight? And my man goes, I'd love to knock out T.J. Dillishaw. And for me, I don't really know who I would want to knock out, but I would love to take on Cyborg, but I know that Chris would just knock me out, put me on the agony. He'd be like, yeah, okay, Betty, whatever. But I would love to go up against Amanda who would make me tired, have me submit and give me a good thrashing, but I would just fight them out of respect and thrill. But there's no one yet that I would really want to knock out. But T.J. Dillishaw, I'm a little bit on the fence with him because of his sparring from what I know of his sparring techniques. All right, so I'm thinking that that just might be it for me today. I'm your hostess, Betty St. Leveau. You've been watching Octagon St. Leveau here at ORCA. I'd like to thank my crew here and especially Kellogg Hubbard Library that have helped me expand my mixed martial arts repertoire. Also, forgetting that my brother Brandon's black belt, baby sister's brown belt. Pretty sure my brother Justin's brown belt, too, but my mom, Eugisana Clarich, was also a brown belt. And so no wonder, well, I'm the late bloomer in the family. I always get into stuff 15 years after everybody else has been studying it. At any rate, hope you can help those channels that I was telling you about. Keep your eye out open for some MMA gossip and definitions. And maybe you can give me a few pointers. Until next time, y'all. See you not in the Octagon. Ciao.
