00:00so as we were discussing conor mcgregor is coming back it's on july 11th international fight week
00:08and it is a pretty cool card you know the fourth of july used to do a fourth of july
00:12card like not
00:13specifically the fourth but july 1st like ufc you know 100 which is pretty much the coolest card
00:19they ever put together was like you know july 4th weekend type of stuff it's you know they used to
00:26about the new year's eve one as well and they had that white house card but they normally do go
00:31all
00:32out for the international fight week because you know there's conventions and people and they want
00:37to entertain people throughout the week and stuff so conor mcgregor uh is back against max holloway
00:44and as i stated earlier i was a little bit surprised to see such a high number for max holloway
00:50the
00:50opening number but it has started to drop a lot of sports books open max holloway in like the minus
00:54450 range nearly a five to one favorite it's dipped below minus 400 uh right now as people have just
01:05sort of fallen into the belief that conor mcgregor will not be able to regain his past greatness
01:12right and you know let's be real conor to me conor to me is like you know he's the best
01:18businessman
01:19ever in the ufc right he sold the most and he made the most of his ufc career by far
01:26he's not like
01:27the best fighter in ufc history and he started to fade as fame kicked in right let's just call it
01:37off
01:37what it is like a hungry conor mcgregor was scary as hell man like early in his career when he
01:42burst
01:42onto the scene it was like whoa this dude like you know jose aldo was unbeatable and conor mcgregor
01:49walked right through him right conor got into people's heads and just sort of dominated but
01:54it was short-lived and fame and money changed him yet i think now conor's actually you know sort of
02:01more used to being rich and famous and stuff and i don't think he wants to embarrass himself so i
02:07was
02:07surprised to see uh such a uh such a big number but it has been five years uh he last
02:13fought against
02:14um dustin poirier uh remember and he had the uh the gruesome leg injury at the end of the first
02:23round
02:23in the trilogy uh fight against uh dustin poirier max holloway and and conor met and i actually remember
02:35like it was almost like yesterday it was like whoa man they're putting this but you know i mean
02:39like because they said oh max is really tough this kid from hawaii is really tough this is 13 years
02:46ago
02:46they fought august of 2013 it comes full circle in 2026 except this time max holloway is the favorite
02:57like at the time conor was like the beast and they threw this kid out of max holloway
03:04and i you know remember conor conor used to basically like disrespect everybody
03:08and i remember at the time conor was like yeah this kid's good like he basically said this kid's
03:13like gonna be a champ one day and i'll probably have to fight him again i don't think you know
03:18we all thought it would be 13 years uh later but it will be interesting um if you're wondering about
03:25holloway and you're like didn't holloway just fight yeah holloway did just fight right and he lost
03:30right he fought he lost to charles oliviera um and you know for the bmfl bmfl but they were looking
03:38for the right fight for conor mcgregor to come back with right and you know i was talking nate diaz
03:44and
03:44as you just saw against mike perry nate diaz is not not at that caliber anymore right like he can't
03:51be
03:51fighting in the ufc uh right now not like you know not not that level i think conor wanted like
03:58a bunch
03:58of other different dudes that he knew he could come back and just sort of tee off and like knock
04:03out um this is not going to be easy against max holloway it really isn't like i said i'm surprised
04:11by the number but i'm not telling you guys oh yeah i'm going to be better on conor mcgregor but
04:15anyone who's been watching our show forever knows i generally faded conor mcgregor all the time
04:20right and at my own peril a lot of times thinking ah you know what he's overpriced and like you
04:26know
04:26he's he's overpriced because he's so he's as popular as he is and now i'm trying to talk myself
04:32into taking him right i see this big fat underdog and i'm like man it's conor mcgregor we're talking
04:38about right if he's healthy and he's in shape and he's focused but it's asking a lot man guys and
04:47fought in five years i don't think he's cared about a fight in like eight years he's like a
04:52hundred millionaire and you're fighting a a dude who's just a psychopath that wants revenge
04:58on you but without being stated it's going to be a lit day
