Who are some of the guys you're looking for maybe in
00:02
the other two fights there to possibly come out of that division and the Bashar the curry fight and
00:08
The Burkham of versus Zendel any any of those guys you think could be
00:12
Once you get a couple sneaky wins and make a name for themselves
00:17
Bersakh of all baby, you know
00:19
This is someone that kind of ran into that Lorenz Larkin knockout prior to that was a pretty solid prospect
00:25
So there may be some room for him to grow there
00:26
I think he'd be the one out of the names you mentioned that would have a chance to be a little bit of a sneaky
00:31
Play moving on to the next round
00:33
All right
00:33
Let's move over now and check out some of these other brackets get some of the fights that you like the best or
00:37
Some of the you know people you're looking out for to win something divisions
00:41
I mean we were talking about experience you're talking about I kind of stacked matchups the women's 125 division right there had a bunch of
00:47
Those talos Santos versus Velasquez right out of the gates two longtime vets and also in that side of the bracket
00:52
When tabi and Jenna Bishop a lot of experience in the top half of that 125 bracket for the women I
00:59
Think the dark horse there is gonna be want to Nabi and we saw against Liz car mood
01:03
She had that fight one until eight seconds left where she got caught in our bar, you know
01:07
I don't think anyone there
01:09
Physicality wise can grapple with her in a dominant space
01:12
So if she gets your arms around you you're in a lot of trouble and then outside of that look for Tyler Santos
01:18
We know she has all the skills to be a champ
01:21
She has all the skills to win this whole thing
01:23
Again, Juliana Velasquez is dangerous because she's got nothing to lose
01:26
But if Tyler comes in top Tyler Santos form
01:30
She wins it, but I think want to Nabi is also a dark horse there. So keep an eye out
01:35
She is definitely dangerous for sure. That should be a great division to watch throughout
01:39
I think every one of those fights can be very exciting even just in the first round
01:42
And some of these other divisions the heavyweights the big boys
01:45
It seems to be a Russia verse everybody else in this one. You got something, you know, Tim Johnson
01:49
We just saw fight Nemco
01:50
But I mean if you're looking at you know
01:52
Even before the matchups the guys that you were probably were the dangers were Popov
01:56
Maldonavsky, you know Romanov, you know, we're getting a lot of the odds here ready to do battle for Russia in the heavyweight division
02:03
Is there anybody that could upset them can vassal pull, you know?
02:06
One last run out of out of his trunks here or is this gonna be rushes to win? Yeah
02:11
Um, I don't I don't think the cells is got that
02:15
Trick as you say to pull out anymore. I just think there's some other guys that are talent
02:20
I think Alexander listen Alexander Romanov if his gas tank can hold up and he could dictate the narrative of a fight
02:26
He could win this whole thing between size wrestling power skills
02:29
I mean, listen, this is a guy who left the UFC as a free agent signed with the PFL. He didn't get released
02:34
He's on a two-fight winning streak. He's got very good durability
02:37
I think Maldonavsky is someone that'll probably the favorite to win
02:40
You know if he wasn't injured last year, that was the case
02:42
But Roman off in my opinion between size skill if that gas thing holds up and he comes in shape
02:48
I think he gets it done
02:51
That's always one of the biggest concerns with the big boys. They could swing. What can they last?
02:54
We'll see how that one goes. Let's look at the lightweight. You got some names. We know obviously premise clay Collier
03:00
Mark, yeah
03:01
Diocese for now is a bunch of names, you know here and there sprinkled throughout
03:05
Who do you like in this bracket? Who do you think can move on and get that belt? I
03:10
I think this is God you were bought knobs to repeat right here. You know, I mean you're looking at some of these matchups
03:16
I think everyone here is very talented
03:18
Fighters and not having to now have that
03:22
Urgency to get finishes for points it changes the game for someone like Brent premise
03:26
I'm like Mads Burnell what we saw him due to clay Collard, you know, listen clay Collard's everyone's fan. He's a fan favorite
03:32
He's got to keep the fight standing in order to win
03:34
He gets too comfortable on his back, but God you were bought off in my opinion is the most complete fighter in this division
03:39
We saw last season how he won by knockout twice. He's a grappler great cardio great their ability
03:45
Unless someone pulls off a major upset. I don't see him not winning this whole thing again this year
03:50
And then last but not least we have the 145 errs a lot of great names
03:54
You got Bragh Alon do right out of the gates
03:56
You got Pinedo Borch and you have Nathan Kelly kind of on the other end of that bracket who a lot of bluster
04:01
But didn't have the performance that we hoped he would have in January in the Ireland Dagestan card
04:06
Who are you looking forward to watching and maybe you know seeing that they can take this title at 145 and win this tournament
04:14
Look, I my opinion all eyes are gonna be on Jesus Pinedo number one to make weight and if he's able to conquer that
04:20
Can he do what he did last, you know, what two seasons ago?
04:25
He once he wanted he was a huge talk of the town great knockout power
04:29
Kind of came out of left field and showed us that he's never out of a fight
04:32
We haven't seen him say so if he could make weight
04:35
My eyes are on the him versus Adam Borich spike is my opinion the winner of that one
04:39
We'll get a chance to get to the finals
