00:00interesting tom i retweeted this uh story earlier in the week and i don't know if you caught this
00:05with um with zhang at the at the what at the uh press conferences and stuff in which he was
00:13wearing sunglasses all the time and somebody asked him like why are you wearing sunglasses
00:18like inside type of thing and he basically was honest and responded in chinese and basically said
00:29because i didn't want people to freak out because i look terrible and i can't sleep and i haven't
00:34been getting a lot of sleep and stuff and the thing is tom they never translated that part
00:41so it came out in chinese but they never did it after and so you know a couple eagle ears
00:47at the
00:47press conference caught on and said i don't really think we got a whole answer here right and so i'm
00:52just throwing that out there about this fight you know just just a little context uh here what do
00:59you think about this one well if everything is on the up and up and and he is you know
01:06healthy and
01:07good to go i feel like this is kind of a spot the ufc's putting him a putting him in
01:12to you know get
01:14a big knockout uh in front of his home crowd and you know men of field is a guy that
01:19he's got big
01:20power he's definitely got some holes in his game he's had some some losses that are kind of shocking
01:26uh but then he's had some really good wins too so but he is very hittable he's been rocked a
01:32few
01:32times he's been finished uh i think this is a spot where zang is supposed to knock him out early
01:38and that's the kind of the way i'm looking at it that's minus 150 the knock just to ko in
01:42general
01:43um but yeah i mean if there's some weird stuff going on if he's not you know fully healthy
01:48the knockout might not come but i think men of field he just doesn't really have great cardio
01:52he's traveling across the world you know i i could see the knockout in that fight and it is a
01:59very
01:59good point by uh by tom china is a very important market uh to the ufc that they really haven't
02:04fully
02:04exploited uh yet they'd love to get some chinese champions going um hell dana white talked about
02:11wanting to get a chinese fighter on the on the white house card right that that was like one of
02:16the
02:16goals that they wanted to uh to do which doesn't make a lot of sense but besides the point um
02:22besides the point but china is a massive market that's the one thing that ufc has been good at
02:27sort of like moving on to new countries and new territories and cashing in
