  • @CPUGaming

    The way the music actually works is that the UFC pays for an ASCAP license. It's the same license that all major sports have to play music over the loud speakers, and also bars and clubs have the license. So basically they don't pay for walkout music individually. Music that is used for things like video packages are not covered by the license, however.

    Whaaaaaaat, you didn't think Aljo had a chance against Volk BEFORE O'Malley kicked his ass. Why, all of a sudden is Aljo such a tough fight for Volk? Islam didn't dominate Volk with his LEVELS better wrestling (not to mention the size difference). You're worried about Volk getting beat in the stand up by Aljo? What? If, old as he may be, shop worn as he may be Alexander Volkanovski got out struck by Aljo Sterling... don't take your eyes off of Eugene Berryman, because I'd be afraid of what that man might do to himself. Is Topuria THAT good, which I think he is; or does Volk just suck all of a sudden? Remember Aljo ain't young either. C'mon, Thomas, sort yourself out.

    I've watched the tape and what's missing is Max Holloway..he's never fought any body close to Max skills and the Volk he fought was definitely not healed up and your interview with Max Coach Ivan explained it perfectly how he could see that Volk was not fighting the same. It'll be a good fight but I like Max chances any time he fights another striker.

    What was the TV or movie that Luke was talking about, where he talked about their amazing uniforms in the show? Luke when you go on a powerful tirade about a TV show or movie, you need to actually state the name of the show. I don't recall hearing you say it. I've spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what you said, and I keep rewinding it, to no avail.

    The boy from Spain looks great, he looks great against the bottom of the division and against a aging freshly knockout champ. Luke says there is know and unknown, Max is known , we know how he reacts under pressure, we know he has the heart, we only know the Spanish man is a young hammer. Makes no sense to favor him, am I missing something?

      You're correct. It's extremely unusual the way that Luke is predicting that Topuria would beat Max, no questions asked. I am glad that Luke is giving us his opinion, instead of sitting on the fence. Luke is best when he actually gives his real opinion on things. But in this case, it seems highly illogical. How anyone could doubt Max is astonishing to me? I was 100% certain that Max would beat Gaethje, because Max is basically indestructible, and you can't hurt him. How do you beat a man who has a "Jon Jones" titanium chin?

Im sure he thought about the non grappling part, but his next fight is gonna be tough no matter what and if he loses that then it would be weird to give it to him there. THen what? He just waits another year and a half to 2 years and hopes he wins again but by submission? Its a weird spot and people are weirdos if they are gatekeeping someone elses belt promotion.

    Its crazy tobme how often you analysts either forget or ignore the extenuating circumstances behind the fights. Volk had just been ko'd the. Fought Tuporia ill advised immediately after on short notice. Tuporia is very good but him winning had just as much to do with volk's stupidity as it did with Tuporia's talent. That bejng said Max, could possibly make the same mistake by dropping back down in weight after moving up.

  • @johnn1720
    @johnn1720 Před 18 dny

    You predict Topuria will beat Holloway. You said to go look at Topuria's past fights to see for ourselves. I just paused this video when you said to do it . . . and did. I also looked up his record, as I didn't know who he was and never watched him fight before. You know what I saw . . . I saw him getting hit, so there is some openings in his defense. I also saw this being done to him by lesser fighters than Max. I suggest to you that the last time a fighter came to fight Max with all these glowing accolades from people like you . . . was when Brian Ortega, who I believe when it was rescheduled was the favorite in Las Vegas, . . . but if you look at the comparisons . . . Brian Ortega was a much more accomplished fighter . . . go look up their historical records. Look at what Max did to Ortega. Yes, Max may be in trouble if brought to ground, but they said the same with Ortega, who is a decorated BJJ martial artist. So, you say on their feet Ilia hits harder . . . does he hit harder than Gaethje? If you take away Ilia's win against Volkanovski, he hasn't fought anyone with exceptional or elite skills . . . and, most who know Volk would say he wasn't healed or ready when he took that fight. So, I'm not discounting (too much) Ilia's skill set, but let's look at Max's advantages: . . . like you say, he has the experience advantage . . . no doubt; Max has not only been fighting the top fighters, but fighting 5 round fights . . . not withstanding his exceptional cardio; I think because of his elite competition, and his team, which had to game plan for all these different styled fighters, they will have the advantage there . . . just by seeing and recognizing what they see; while having to cut weight to go back down to 145, I believe Max will take down his new found knockout power (because it is based more on technique); and Topuria was ringside at Holloway's KO of Gaethje . . . and saw the reactions of all those MMA greats around him . . . that and all the great things they had to say about Max . . . could've possibly created a doubt in Ilia's mind. I believe, (not that it's only up to him), Ilia initially stated . . . he won't give Max a chance at the title nor Volk a rematch . . . is because he was greeted by their Prime Minister and hailed as a national hero and honored by Real Madrid . . . and to extend his time as champion without putting at risk. Fighting . . . (or not) . . . not to lose . . . is also an advantage Max can exploit.
    My conclusion: You're a smart guy . . . I think you're just selling a fight. UFC paying you?!
