00:00:29.000You have to be 18 or 21. I think you have to be 21. But now with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, if he gets confirmed, can he override the federal power?
00:00:39.000I do not think that he would go against the will of Trump.
00:00:42.000And I think that Trump, for all of his faults that you might find in him, he's a populist.
00:00:47.000And I think the best argument is that a guy like him...
00:00:51.000You can sort of influence him with the opinion of the country, you know?
00:00:55.000And so it's kind of an interesting thing because it might be one of the first times ever, like, the opinion of the country might significantly influence some guy who's just completely foreign to the idea of politics.
00:02:57.000I'm just saying, I wonder what's going to happen when he can't convince companies to do his bidding, when a lot of his policies maybe don't give his voter base the jobs they wanted.
00:03:11.000Because he can't implement the policies he wants, that's when it's going to be interesting.
00:03:14.000Do you think we'll see an assassination attempt?
00:07:35.000I'm sure there is more to the story, but the facts remain that that guy got a very short sentence and was the Speaker of the House and was a child molester.
00:07:45.000I mean, he really 100% was a child molester.
00:07:47.000There are always going to be pedophiles in that group.
00:07:49.000Right, but instead of having this gigantic blanket attitude that what he's saying is ridiculous and then getting super emotional about it, let's just look at the actual fact that a guy who was a pedophile was the Speaker of the House.
00:08:52.000I know the very brief outline of what it's all about.
00:08:56.000I know that a lot of people think they're pedophiles and crazy and Satan worshippers, and there was that some spirit cooking thing, some bizarre thing that was released in an email about something that Podesta was going to get into.
00:09:48.000Do you have to explain this shit every time?
00:09:49.000Eddie, would you admit- In speaking in general terms, do I have to give you actual numbers?
00:09:54.000Hey, would you admit that human beings, you and me, all of us, tend to get a feeling, and then we have what's called confirmation bias, which is we'll find, we'll find, we all do it.
00:10:10.000Listen, all you have to do is hear an argument between me and my wife, and I'll fucking justify it any way I can, because I find facts to get to pile on my side.
00:10:40.000But let me, from where I am, I looked into it very little.
00:10:45.000I'm like, I'm gonna just let this scuffle go on and then look into it when the dust settles in a couple weeks.
00:10:51.000Figure out exactly what it is, whether it's bullshit or real.
00:10:55.000It made me, me looking into it, made me want to shut the fuck up about conspiracy theories.
00:11:00.000Because people get killed with this shit.
00:11:04.000When you actually look into it, and I'm like Brian Cowan, when you actually look into it, with an open fucking mind, you should trust the government on everything.
00:13:32.000Do you really think that the entire editorial board of the New York Times or the Economist or the Wall Street Journal, where people who run the country and the world get their information, do you think all those people are lying, getting together, and being conspiratorial to give us fake news?
00:14:28.000So it really depends on how much is available in that given day.
00:14:31.000So for an example, you may have an oil tanker that's on its way to a country, and then somebody in the marketplace bids on that oil and wants that oil.
00:14:41.000And that ship will turn back around and go to that market.
00:14:44.000It all depends on what the marketplace and what all the different players who need oil and the amount of oil that's available, whether it's crude or raw, whatever it might be.
00:14:53.000There's so many different factors that go into pricing oil.
00:14:58.000Look at what happened when we came up with ways to get the oil out of the shale sands, right?
00:15:12.000And that's why Russia is having a major problem because their oil used to be $100 a barrel.
00:15:17.000What is it, $47 a barrel or something?
00:15:19.000So what I'm saying is that that's how oil is priced.
00:15:23.000You're talking about a massive organism.
00:15:32.000So to say that one group of seven men, or whoever they might be, or 21 men, controls things, is holding the strings, is Hollywood movie stuff.
00:15:59.000No, but I mean, people of influence, people like the people that run the World Bank, people that have massive influence over just enormous sums of money.
00:16:07.000Don't you think it's possible they can have some influence due to the relationships that they have with people?
00:16:39.000So let's take the division, let's take the Latin American Bank, which is, I think it's a subsidiary of the World Bank, I believe.
00:16:48.000And I sat next to this guy on the plane and talked to him.
00:16:49.000And he said that so much of the sort of projects and the money, what they were there for was to essentially give money to investments in the Latin American economy, to build up the Latin American economy in one way or another.
00:17:08.000What happens sometimes is that that bank no longer becomes necessary because the economy of Latin America, whatever that country is, is running on its own.
00:17:14.000So now, here's a conspiracy for you, which makes sense.
00:17:43.000That would be, if you want to call that conspiracy theory, I would call that people who just want to hold onto their jobs and come up with reasons to exist.
00:17:49.000Do you know what Operation Mockingbird is?
00:20:27.000But I just wanted to say, because a lot of people on the internet want me to bring that shit up, and I'm like, I really don't want to bring it up.
00:22:58.000But since 1986, what happened is since 1986, since Big Pharma said, shit, we can't get sued, that's when if you actually look at vaccines and not just go, polio, what about polio?
00:23:26.000So if you said to me, hey, Bri, once the pharmaceutical companies saw that there was a lot of money in giving preventative vaccines, and it goes up to 64 when it used to be 6 or 10 or whatever when I was a kid, now...
00:23:39.000Now you go, oh, well that makes sense, because what does Big Pharma do?
00:23:44.000They manipulate the FDA, they manipulate government.
00:24:09.000That makes sense from a business point of view, which I can understand is insidious when you have huge corporations in cahoots with government.
00:24:49.000People that run this shit don't own the fucking media!
00:24:51.000You don't own the TV, you dumb motherfucker!
00:24:54.000It doesn't mean that you can't get credible information On a lot of topics, like the economy, like the war, whatever it is, if you know where to look, it doesn't mean you can't get credible information on the truth of what's going on.
00:25:23.000It's all slowly, inch by inch, take away the guns, and let's fucking, let's control everybody and implode economies, fucking start civil wars.
00:25:35.000I think that the- They love that shit.
00:25:36.000If you said to me that the mainstream media And whether it's on the right or the left, has agendas and has been corrupted and has allowed their own personal points of view to infiltrate the news and so report unfairly and so report in a biased fashion and the news is no longer as objective as it was or should be.
00:26:35.000There's Operation Paperclip taking all the Nazis after World War II, Operation Paperclip taking thousands of Nazi scientists into the government and creating NASA, NASA Nazi scientists, and you believe...
00:26:55.000They put out films just to get people, just to get people, the people to get used to killing people like if they were a certain condition.
00:27:03.000They put out propaganda films, and you can watch this shit, Deranged people on the street killing people.
00:27:11.000People thought they would watch these newsreels, and they thought there was demented people on the streets killing people, and that was never happening.
00:27:18.000They just wanted the people to agree that we can kill those people, right?
00:27:24.000No one's killing anybody, but it was all part of a propaganda agenda.
00:27:28.000Can I give you a little perspective on that?
00:27:29.000So Einstein came from Germany, and a lot of the Jewish scientists in the 30s, when there was this rise of anti-Semitism, migrated, immigrated, To the United States.
00:27:39.000What about the Nazis forming NASA? NASA. What about that?
00:27:45.000When we realized that the Nazis were very close to creating a nuclear bomb, that they had some really amazing scientists.
00:27:53.000I mean, there was a real scientific tradition.
00:27:55.000Remember, that's where Einstein came out of.
00:27:58.000In fact, the anti-Semitism that rose up in the 30s is why a lot of historians have credited the United States' ability to create a nuclear bomb before the Nazis because of that immigration.
00:28:11.000So anti-Semitism in Germany actually pushed a lot of these brilliant scientists toward the U.K., toward the United States.
00:28:17.000Didn't a bunch of the Nazi guys go to Russia as well?
00:28:21.000Half of them went to Russia, half of them went to the States.
00:28:24.000Operation Paperclip, that's another one.
00:28:26.000Probably when Russia took half of Germany, remember?
00:28:30.000So there was East Berlin and West Berlin.
00:29:10.000But I do know that the Simon Wiesenthal Center said that if Wernher von Braun, who was the head of NASA, if Wernher von Braun was alive today, they would prosecute him for crimes against humanity.
00:29:19.000Because he was instrumental in coming up with weaponry that killed a lot of, you know, the Allies.
00:29:42.000The guys who lived in Miami that were in the concentration camps, they interviewed them for this documentary on the moon landings and NASA and all the scientists behind it, and they were saying that they would see those guys come in, they would see those scientists come in, and they would hang the five slowest Jews in front of the building.
00:30:00.000Those are the guys that were running NASA. That's the least of what went on in Nazi Germany.
00:30:41.000There's different scientists that are the medical scientists versus different scientists that are engineers versus different scientists that are working towards nuclear weapons.
00:31:21.000And the Nazis took it and they switched it to Zyklon B. They took the smell out of it so that you wouldn't smell it, and then they used it in the gas chamber.
00:31:29.000So this guy who invented the Haber Method, where 50% of the nitrogen that's in most of the human beings on the planet Earth comes from.
00:31:35.000Because nitrogen is how you fertilize.
00:31:43.000And while he was winning the Nobel Prize for the Haber Method, he was also being wanted for crimes against humanity because he figured out how to gas people, too.
00:33:13.000Forget about politics and nonsense for a second.
00:33:17.000Just think about what a genius you have to be to figure out how to pull nitrogen out of the air and put it in the soil, and all of a sudden everything grows better.
00:33:27.000But what's also amazing is how complicated human beings are because it raises some really interesting questions.
00:33:32.000The guy invents the gas that was used on the Jews, his own people.
00:33:35.000However, he invented chemical weaponry because he was a German patriot and wanted Germany to win World War I and said, I have a better way to do this.
00:33:45.000And so you put yourself in his position.
00:33:47.000It raised a lot of difficult questions.
00:35:07.000You've got to drag them out of the shower and they've got chemicals all over them.
00:35:10.000But listen, what they would do is when they would bring them on the trains to Auschwitz, Tripolinka, and Dachau and all the different death camps, they couldn't...
00:35:17.000If they started lining people up, what would happen?
00:36:12.000It's like saying that you, as a martial artist, you train people at a fight, you probably have some connection with someone who's a corrections officer.
00:36:23.000You know, but how much do you have an effect over what they do with their life?
00:36:27.000The people who are working as corrections officers are probably, or the guards, rather, at Auschwitz, are probably so far removed from the fucking scientists.
00:36:36.000It's not like they all get together and go, we're all evil, right?
00:36:39.000Yeah, what are you doing today for evil?
00:41:52.000But do you feel that those, like, when you get in shape to go a hard three, how much of a difference is there between the hard three and the hard five?
00:45:36.000Because if Alexis Davis really knew how to play some high-level rubber guard, She would have never let Sarah McMahon have her hand on the mat and then have the hand on the chest, have the hand on the mat.
00:45:47.000Once the hand's on the mat, boom, it stays there.
00:46:17.000When your right arm is pinned to the ground like that, and you have someone with a strong rubber guard, especially someone who's already taken mission control with that left leg up, the first thing to do is to trap that arm.
00:46:26.000So once that arm is down on the ground like that, you never want to give it back.
00:46:30.000And she keeps giving it back over and over and over again.
00:46:50.000A person with a very good rubber guard, as soon as you put your arm down on the mat, they're going to immediately overhook that arm, try to trap it in place, and then try to go to mission control.
00:47:07.000But first of all, if you just want to elbow someone, if you watch the Alan Belcher-Jason Day fight, Jason Day was, you know, he beat Alan Belcher...
00:47:17.000Really, early on, when Belcher's a fantastic fighter, and since then...
00:50:08.000There were some guys that had did some interesting guards in the past, and Nino Shambri had a lot of really cool stuff, but what Eddie did was he put together a system, especially a system that's really effective no-gi.
00:52:56.000Because Shane Carwin, he barely knew jiu-jitsu.
00:52:59.000If he got that on you and he was a fucking Cridesdale, he'd crush your fucking neck.
00:53:04.000If you guys want to see grappling and what it looks like, literally it's fine.
00:53:09.000Kale Sanderson's gold medal match I think against this Korean guy watch what he looks like he's like going for a walk in the park like he's doing ankle pics and weird shit where it looks like he's literally kind of like you know kind of moving at half speed.
00:54:41.000That knee is going to be in the way of this, right?
00:54:44.000But you can push that motherfucker out.
00:54:46.000So really, the best thing to do is just do a mount where it's kind of like knee on the belly, but your knee is on the ground, so it's like a deep knee on the belly.
00:59:16.000And then so slowly, I had to figure out how to get to the wrestler's guillotine, which later became the twister because Higgin and John Jacques named it that shit.
00:59:37.000It seems like it's Aldo gets the title now because he won the interim title with Frankie and now they're showing Pettis highlights the Showtime kick.
01:01:55.000But also, on the fighter side, that Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association is the first time where it's a serious issue for them to address.
01:06:16.000And I was just looking for a place to do New Year's, and when the agents look for theaters that are available, that's the one they came to me with.
01:07:09.000That's one of those places where you look at it and you go, wow.
01:07:11.000When Steve first asked me to do EBIs there, because we were doing them at the Florentine Gardens initially in Hollywood, I looked at the website and I'm like, oh man, this guy doesn't, he obviously doesn't know what jiu-jitsu is.
01:07:23.000Like, this is too classy for jiu-jitsu.
01:09:34.000He's doing something different now because he's not fucking his body up to make 155. We're seeing 100% Cowboy.
01:09:40.000He's got so much don't give a fuck in him that to take a guy like that and extract all the water out of his body and drain him and deplete him, you deplete some of that spirit that makes him exceptional.
01:12:33.000Well, I just recognize there's another level to be achieved that you're seeing, especially with striking.
01:12:41.000With a lot of guys, you're seeing a certain level of technique on a consistent basis because they have to concentrate on a lot of different things.
01:12:51.000But it's hard when you have a few guys that have achieved this Rory McDonald sort of spectrum where they can kind of do everything really good at a very high level.
01:13:01.000Like, you remember when Rory McDonald fought JT Torres and Metamoras?
01:16:46.000But when they got into the octagon before the fight, he went to shake hands with Dennis Seaver and Dennis Seaver wouldn't put his hand on it.
01:19:40.000what's really cool about MMA is that you can't really be the very best at everything.
01:19:45.000You could be the best at putting it all together for your specific body, the best at handling pressure in your division, but you can't be the best jujitsu guy, the best kickboxer, the best wrestler.
01:20:35.000Joe interviewed him one time, and this was like literally 15, 16 years ago, and Joe interviewed him, and Mark goes, Joe goes, so what's your strategy?
01:20:43.000And Mark goes, I'm going to beat the fucking shit out of him.
01:22:50.000If you are an outstanding world-class kickboxer like he is, the same principles of defense apply on the ground, with ground and pound.
01:23:00.000It's harder to move your head backwards, but a guy like that is significantly harder to hit than a guy who's not used to taking punches in front of someone.
01:23:24.000The second fight, when Krokop got revenge, when he got on top of Gonzaga, I'm like, when you see a world-class striker drop elbows on your head from the guard, he doesn't need to be in the mount.
01:23:36.000He doesn't need to be in side control.
01:23:38.000Krokop just needs that amount of space, and he is opening your head like a fucking coconut.
01:24:24.000When Maury Smith fought Mark Coleman, his pre-fight footage was hidden running upstairs.
01:24:31.000It was either that fight or his fight with Conan Silviero, but I remember him, he'd be interviewed, I'm Maury Smith, I've been kickboxing, I'm a world champion, and they'd show him running upstairs and shit in a football stadium.
01:26:53.000You have to understand, this guy was like literally one of the very first guys who was a high-level mixed martial artist, did jujitsu, kickbox, and was doing commentary for MMA. He was like one of the very first guys.
01:27:05.000And they owned the show, that battle cage show or something.
01:27:06.000Exactly, which had some great fucking fights.
01:33:40.000It's like his 12th surgery since he's been in the UFC. But you can't say you've got a fight coming up and then afterwards you're going to get surgery.
01:34:50.000Because he's already covered by insurance, and he's going to come in and say, look, I know I'm kind of injured here, but I'll deal with it and beat your ass.
01:35:49.000It's a weird thing, man, because if he says, excuse me, I'm done, it's over, my finger's broken, then they stop the fight, then you're correct to not attack him.
01:35:58.000But he went, just give me a second, let me fix my finger.
01:36:01.000I mean, but here's the thing, I didn't want that fight to end right there, did you?
01:42:27.000I'm a fan of Fabricio, and I would like to see him win, but there's a feeling that I get from someone winning by a broken finger that I don't like.
01:44:11.000The only way you could do it is if you came up with some sort of adhesive, like some crazy, crazy glue shit that you could stick this fucking thing to your face where it's impossible to pull it off.
01:44:24.000It would have to literally almost be like cups that covered your eyes, but were glued into your head, and then afterwards they put some solvent on.
01:44:31.000But then we would find out five years later that fucking people are dying from cancer or brain cancer.
01:44:37.000Well, you know, four guys are soaking them in testosterone and shit in their eyes.
01:44:40.000Well, in Planet of the Apes, when they make you dirty, they used to have a chemical that they would make your costume dirty.
01:52:21.000Let me ask you this, as a person who's fought in the octagon.
01:52:24.000Is there an argument for extending the lip a little bit?
01:52:26.000So instead of tucking it in like that, extending it up and putting it in part of the cage, you could only have to go up a few inches and it would remove the problem of the edge.
01:52:35.000But you wouldn't be able to use that takedown offense of those guys against the cage?
01:54:30.000I'm saying as a fighter and you're in there and you know what the magnitude of that win will do for your career and get you to the next level and your punch guy goes, damn, dawg, you got me in the eye.
01:55:33.000Because people, I mean obviously they're aware of wind bonus, but no one's like, God, I've got to make this a siding and I'm going to go do this because hopefully I get the wind bonus.
01:58:40.000You're making yourself bigger, and he is, in my opinion, the most famous, but the fights that he draws for, he will get compensated for in an extraordinary manner.
01:58:53.000The idea of him being an owner of the entire company based on what he's able to do in his own individual pay-per-views, that would be foolhardy.
01:59:22.000That the UFC without gigantic stars like Conor McGregor or Ronda Rousey or Jon Jones or Pettison Holloway, without the killers, nobody wants to watch.
01:59:48.000If you had a bunch of cowboy, Matt Brown-type fights on, and just a bunch of them, and none of them for the world title, you tell me you wouldn't watch?
01:59:55.000You tell me you wouldn't watch Yoel Romero vs.
02:00:30.000Jordan Meehan on Cyborg, the male Cyborg, in Strike Force, landed one of the most devastating fucking elbow combinations to put out Cyborg.
02:00:40.000And Emile Meek is the guy who beat up Toquino.
02:00:43.000He knocked out Toquino when he first got kicked out of the UFC. When Jusmar Pojarez got kicked out of the UFC, he fought this mad Viking, Emil Meek.
02:03:45.000I thought, I'm totally open to leg locks.
02:03:47.000Me personally, I'm not heavy into heel hooks, but man, I love the fact that every class I have like three heel hook fucking just dudes that are obsessed with it.
02:04:03.000When you obsess with leg locks in the system and every possibility and every counter, and the way Dana Hurst put that system together, man, I realized right away, I gotta get fucking mid-Evo with this shit.
02:04:26.000So there's an IBJJF crew, you know, like the people, the fans and the competitors.
02:04:35.000There's the Danaher crew, and they're like Conor McGregor, you know, because Gordon Ryan's kind of outspoken, and, you know, he's like wearing a crown everywhere he goes, and Gary Tonin, he's like...
02:05:47.000At what point when you were rolling jiu-jitsu did you feel like it became more art than sport in that you were improvising as you went along, in that everything was a reaction, everything was sort of predicated by your mindset, your mood of that day,
02:06:17.000Whether it's jiu-jitsu, tennis, basketball, whatever you do, if you do it over and over and over again, if you're working in a factory and you got a job or you're doing something, the more you do it, whatever it is, putting this contraption here, you're going to be so fucking good at it,
02:06:58.000The more you do it, your body will end up doing it magically, and you'd have to just kind of executive produce things, and your body just does it magically.
02:08:26.000What we're talking about right now, what Danaher has done with the leg lock system and what they've done with EBI just completely dominate.
02:08:32.000That, bringing it back, the Gio Martinez win last night, he beat Eddie Cummings in the finals at EBI 10 last night.
02:09:44.000What I'm saying is that when somebody's passionate and cares about the world and wants the world to be a better place like he does, that's where it's coming from.
02:12:09.000Listen, a guy who gets really good at killing people, like jujitsu style, gets really good at playing games, gets really good at arguments, he doesn't want to get involved.
02:22:27.000Well, he's probably been tagged a few times in that first round.
02:22:30.000You know, he's looking for that big right hand to get things back.
02:22:33.000The reason I thought Joe would win this fight, and I'm not saying he's not going to, he does everything really well, and Cejudo does a few things great.
02:22:40.000So I thought Joe would kind of edge it out with just mixing it up, but he's not doing that.
02:22:45.000Well, Cejudo has nowhere near the level of experience, other than the Johnson fight.
02:23:50.000See, but you can't say that, but here's what I think.
02:23:52.000When you look at Jon Jones, I think Jon Jones ultimately absolutely has the potential to be number one, but he's been too inactive, and the fight with Ovin St. Preux, although Ovin St. Preux, I feel, is a very good fighter, and it's a very tough fight.
02:24:04.000If you look at who has beaten Ovin St. Preux, and how Jon Jones looked against him.
02:24:46.000Because of their weight classes, I don't have them pound for pound number one.
02:24:49.000That is a good argument, except for guys like John Lineker, who knocked guys out with one punch, and Mighty Mouse, who knocked out Benavidez with one punch.
02:24:58.000Still different than 205-pound monsters.
02:27:29.000Actual, not sending me to Dwayne Ludwig, but what would, like, a drill you would come up with that you would say, okay, you gotta do this shit every day.
02:27:37.000Well, it would depend on where you're at, like, skill-wise.
02:28:29.000It's a good example because he's a tough guy and a strong, powerful wrestler.
02:28:31.000But he was an explosive and didn't have that kind of accuracy.
02:28:36.000There's a bunch of guys you could say that you could put in that category who were like really powerful grapplers who just weren't the most lightning-like strikers.
02:28:46.000There's striking where you know that the guy has good technique and you know that the guy pretty much understands where to be and where not to be and when to be defensive and when to be offensive.
02:29:32.000And I wanted to see if I was biased because I thought that Kovalev won and I still think he won.
02:29:37.000Yeah, so do I. I don't think he won by much, and I think Andre Ward did a really good job of holding his own, but I just don't think there was enough convincing rounds where Ward won in the way that I think the rounds that Kovalev won.
02:31:20.000I'm seeing the Mighty Mouse that saw Joseph Benavidez leaving his chin out there and caught him with one punch and KO'd him when the knock on him was that he wasn't a one-punch striker.
02:31:29.000I saw him when he fought Hayoki where he dominated Hayoki for all five rounds and with a second to go.
02:31:35.000He always catches him with You know who he don't include in Pound for Pound?
02:38:46.000Do you guys ever have an era in your 20s where you're not living at home and you're fucking broke as fuck and you have $17 and you gotta somehow make that last a week and you're like, okay, I got top ramen, a loaf of bread,
02:40:42.000And when I started doing it, that's when I quit college.
02:40:44.000But I was considering doing it, so it was really more paying attention to people and how weird we all are in this struggle between being a child and being an adult.
02:40:53.000There's this weird transitionary period where people are feeling their oats and flexing their intellectual muscles.
02:40:58.000In front of a teacher and trying to catch the teacher when it's wrong and trying to debate the teacher.
02:45:19.000So I had a very distorted version of things as it is.
02:45:22.000So then I sat down and I said, so this thing that you wanted me to do when you were asking me to go hang out with your friends At the Cape, and I have like a big smile on my face.
02:45:33.000I'm like, that was about Jesus, right?
02:45:35.000And they were like, it's really important that you know Jesus.
02:47:19.000And a guy like GSP, obviously, he developed under the tutelage of Firas Ahabi, but he would have developed under the tutelage of Matt Hume too.
03:01:40.000With the grease and the sweat, that makes it even harder to stay tight and stay controlled shit.
03:01:45.000To keep position and keep dominant positions and all that grease and sweat and all that Vaseline all over your fucking eyes and all over your back and all over your fucking arms.
03:01:53.000Keep talking, I'm taking my pants off.
03:08:09.000So, all bullshit aside, we're joking around here, and if you listen to anything that we say tonight, and you think, oh my god, their opinions are so fucked up, we're intoxicated, and we're not serious.
03:08:19.000So, you need to know, like, if you're looking at the actual fight itself, this is a great, great fight, and Tim Elliott deserves all the respect in the world.
03:09:01.000You'd have to, like, who are the other guys besides Dominick Cruz?
03:09:04.000And Dominick Cruz, of course, you're really only doing it based on his past record, the TJ victory, and then the domination over Uriah Faber, right?
03:14:26.000He's the most wins in the UFC. He's great, but he's also been fighting a long time, but he's also lost handedly, whereas Anderson Silva's lost once.
03:18:17.000It's going to be interesting because for Mighty Mouse, you know, he was putting Elliot in danger more than Elliot was putting him in danger other than that one time.
03:20:05.000It's gonna go over with him with double X-lock here.
03:20:07.000If he can't block his hands, it's set.
03:20:09.000If he would've went to the Damien Maia strategy, just straight up, forget the Kimura, forget the armbar, let's just get the top half, and then get knee free, and then go to three-point world.
03:20:20.000Elliot, win or lose is a winner in that fight, because now fans are like, holy shit, this guy's legit.
03:21:06.000Well, if I looked at moments where it looked like he was getting the better of it, I would give him the advantage, but there was definitely a few moments.
