Welcome ladies and gentlemen boys and girls children of all ages these are the many minutes I am Sean Anderson alongside me as always Danny Gutierrez going on John how you doing nothing much is a lot I'm really happy today we're really happy it's a very exciting day exciting weekend see him punk made way now I'm super excited a little nervous after his interview with Ariel Hulani where he was kind of kind of holding back the information on his way cut he shows up looking all smiles probably going through hell last night and he's looking fantastic and he made wait so we are gonna see CM Punk's debut tomorrow we'll talk about that a little later on we'll be preview UFC 203 and the main card for UFC 203 but real quick we want to jump into some news about UFC 205 the first event in about 15 years in New York for the UFC UFC 205 in the same place at Madison Square Garden definitely the first event taking place in Madison Square Garden for the UFC. Around the corner too it's in November so November 12th yes November 12th and there's a lot of news going around there's a lot of news especially about Wonder Boy kids wonder boy supposed to be recovered from his injury by then and you know with with Woodley Woodley just wanting the belt and Woodley saying he does not want to fight Wonder Boy there's been a lot of talk there but Wonder Boy said he should be ready for November so a lot of people are slating that in but there's news coming out from Ariel Hulani pretty reliable guy pretty guy knows his stuff right he's got a couple ways to find out his sleeve here in there he just tweeted McGregor versus Alvarez is the top choice for the main event of UFC 205 but it is still far from a done deal and if you know you're wondering why this is a big deal because Conor McGregor the featherweight champion who is not defended as belt he has three fights outside of the division and still has not defended as belt since he beat Jose Aldo would be taking on any Alvarez the lightweight champion Conor McGregor almost had a shot at the lightweight belt almost when half I out to sign just was the champion and half I was focused for pulled out of the fight and that's when we got the the Diaz versus McGregor fights going on so let's jump into this real quick what are your thoughts on McGregor versus Alvarez because after the last Diaz fight Dana White said win loser draw Conor Gregor's defending his featherweight belt this is saying he's not defending his belt what are your thoughts on this you know what I'm not too upset that he's fighting for the lightweight championship because he's fighting for a not official yet it's not official yet anyone's right right but he's it's for a belt it would be for about he'd be contesting for a belt so I'm not too upset because he'd be fighting for about if he won the lightweight championship and then defended his featherweight belt as both the featherweight and lightweight championship puts a really big feather in your cap so I think I'm going to try to play the game a little bit and see what see what's going on on Eddie Alvarez any Alvarez is such a dog he loves to fight he's got really heavy hands the former Bellator lightweight champion is now the UFC lightweight champion he's his career has literally come full circle the stars couldn't have a line better for either man so I'm not too upset I'm excited to see what happens for both guys in the future I'm pretty upset mainly because I want him to defend his belt right I don't think that's a lot to ask for I think Conor Gregor should defend his belt I do too I really do believe that Jose Aldo has earned a shot he is the interim featherweight champion I don't believe that he should be defending his interim championship he should just you know he should just unify the title if fight McGregor for the undisputed featherweight championship then blame a Gregor I think this is McGregor's fault McGregor should I don't defend his belt he's the champion defend his belt I think if he takes this fight with Alvarez he's done as a featherweight champion and I wouldn't really call him the featherweight champion because he knocked out Jose Aldo with 13 seconds and it kind of seems like he's ducking Jose Aldo doesn't it because he beats him in 13 seconds and doesn't want to go back and fight Jose Aldo Jose Aldo did land a lead left hook that cut McGregor right over the eyebrow that's when he missed with the right hand that's when McGregor was able to clock and right through the guard and I mean it's scarred McGregor it's in it's interesting if that fight were to go on a little bit longer there's a lot of questions with a 13 second knockout so we're gonna have to see I would I would agree with you on the on one hand yes I'm a kind of a Gregor should defend his featherweight championship but even he's fighting for a belt so this fight has a purpose it has a sense of meaning behind it rather than just I lost a Diaz so let me get that one back because it wasn't for anything it does have a purpose and then if he wins that lightweight belt that's where Nick fights mostly so that if Nick can move his way up the lightweight rankings then we might see McGregor versus Diaz for a belt which would make that more important but then again looking at Conor McGregor you know he talks about all this this hype to get to that main event to get to fight Jose Aldo and beach and Mendez for the interim belt he fought his way up the featherweight rankings and talked his way to to pay per view monstrous sales and then he gets the belt and doesn't want to defend it I just feel like that's a little cheap there especially for Jose Aldo who ran through by the way the featherweight division for years I would necessarily say ran through he he was 29 in one the only one he finished the only fighter he finished was Chad Mendez and that was due to any he didn't lose in the USC outside of no no he didn't but he also fought he fought a lot of tough guys and they all went five rounds with them most of them went five rounds with him the only two like I said where the first fight with Chad Mendez and then the Korean zombie fight Chan-sung-jong when he fought the Korean zombie the Korean zombie threw an overhand right dislocated a shoulder and then that's when Aldo pretty much pounced on him and that's when the referee had to end the fight so those two victories the the Chad Mendez finish is completely legitimate the Chan-sung-jong finish is kind of a freak accident but the other featherweights that he's fought have taken him the distance and those were featherweights at their best at their peak whereas McGregor was running through featherweights he was knocking featherweights out the only featherweight he hasn't knocked out is someone who's on a 9-5 win streak and max blessed all the way see but then again if you look at that I mean you also look at with look at Jose Aldo seven defenses he fought Kenny Florian who fought multiple multiple times multiple times Mark Hamanek that was his first title fence Mark Hamanek is not a guy to walk over Chad Mendez obviously twice he beat Frankie Edgar twice and the first time the last time was a very impressive yeah but the first time was was defending his belt beaten Chan-sung-jong who was a up-and-comer then and that was a very competitive fight very competitive fight and also Ricardo Lamas who's a top five by the way and if you look at Conor McGregor's wins he beat Dennis Eber who was an old man didn't ever get Shane that much he beat Dustin Poirier but Dustin Poirier wasn't that great a featherweight moved up because of now he looks monstrous at lightweight he does Diego Brandau who's in a bad Marcus Brimich and that was he mow over so really if I look at this who he's beaten a featherweight that's been impressive Jose Aldo Chad Mendez Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway outside of that you look at Jose Aldo though he's beaten Frankie Edgar former champion he's beaten Chad Mendez who's fought for the belt three times I believe he'd be Kenny Florian who fought for the belt multiple times Ricardo Lamas is an absolute monster right there's so many guys that he has fought and beaten you're I favor as well in WC he be Cub Swanson WC be Mike Brown he's got that iconic double-flying knee on Cub Swanson that highlight reel I just think that Jose Aldo deserves deserves to get a rematch I'm not disagreeing with you I agree to I think that if Connor does not defend his belt and fights Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight the way about he should pull but they're not gonna do that because they're gonna make him win or they're not gonna make him win they're gonna see if he can win and beat Eddie Alvarez and then say honors the first double division champ and then pull well then if you also if you allow me to interject there's also there's also the fact of John Kavanaugh a kind of a great coach stating they just want Connor to make that 145 pound weight cut anymore so that could be a factor he could be resting for that weight cut I don't know I don't know what his coaches thinking or what he thinks with his team or what he's thinking with his team but if he can't make the featherweight weight cut then just then just drop your belt and fight for the lightweight championship I want this to be a quick segment we are going to make minutes so real quick do you think that McGregor vs Alvarez happens at 205 and then do you think that they pulled belt off counter if he does by the way anything's possible I highly doubt that they're gonna pull the belt on Connor especially if he wins another one if he has two belts and defends the fences championship belt at one at either way class and wins decisively it's gonna put that's gonna put that's gonna put a really big feather in his cap yeah I don't think I'll pull it from him but I think they should I think it should be I was the other versus Max Holloway for that belt because Holloway definitely deserves it although deserves to be the champion again the way that is a way that streak Holloway is one of the most under appreciated featherweights last loss last loss was to counter Greg and nine fights in a row he's been he's been mowing through people as well one last thing from Ariel Hulani as well he said main event for UFC still not set one big domino needs to fall and then they can move along but it hasn't yet interesting interesting times so the fights that are that are kind of murmured at Alvarez versus McGregor for the lightweight belt Carolina Kowakovic Kowakovic Can't say that very Polish name versus you on a J check I've had practice with the champs for the for the straw weight belt and also the Wonder Boy and Woodley fight has also been murmured so we might have three title fights maybe we might have two title fights I think they're gonna go all out with this one fight that they have scheduled for UFC 205 Rabi Lawler versus Down's the Roney that's gonna be a wonderful fight I cannot wait for that fight hopefully nobody gets injured in that fight I hope the injury bug does not creep up and bite this card in the butt this is gonna be a really interesting card if especially because it's a Madison Square Garden it's gonna be an iconic card for the UFC yeah I want to see what you know Kowakovic can do it well to wait because looking what he did to Rick Story looking what he did to Patrick Otay he was phenomenal in the two fights that he's had it well to wait that combination against Rick Story hit him the body hit him on top hit him in the body then man he kick it was like he was like in slow motion in slow motion it was a jab cross to the body lead uppercut head kick it was perfect it was insane and then going up against a guy like Robbie Lawler a legend in the UFC former champion as well I think that was a long time pioneer to yeah I think if I think if Soroni can get that win it well to wait that's gonna put him in discussion for a while to wait and I think I think that's just a big big you know big ups to how good Down's Roney is and he's talked about how 155 just kills kills him and he doesn't have to do any way cutting for 170 so I think it's a smart thing to stay for to stay at welter way for cowboy I think it's gonna be a fun fight I think it also kills Downal's Roney that someone who he's beaten is now the lightweight champ well he wanted to fight I don't want to fight Elvira still we'll see we'll definitely see now that half the other side doesn't have the belt who's beat down so he twice is probably like oh now I was my chance for the lightweight belt but let's move over to UFC 203 event that's already booked that's happening on Saturday at the quick and loans arena in Cleveland Ohio the debut of CM punk ladies and gentlemen get into it let's into this though the first fight on that make our biggest day on today taking on you and Calderwood Joe and Caledore I don't know I put the Brazilian in Polish accident Joe and Caledore the sky I'm with from the UK just got a okay yeah so yeah I don't know if Scott it Scott was part of the UK yes it is alright I'm very first Calderwood what you thought so this way you got this gonna be very interesting fight just gone dry J looks massive at the women's straw wait division Joanne Jojo Calderwood has got some really sick moy tie from the outside training for Rossa hobby just got and dry J's got that very tough Brazilian Jiu Jitsu she's got very suffocating she's very she's very suffocating the clinch she's got very she's almost like the rich story of the women's straw wait division she's got very powerful hands and very powerful grappling join Caledore has really sick moy tie from the outside so I think she's gonna want to keep her distance against just non-dried but if just on dry J's able to close the distance against Jojo I think she's just gonna beat her up in the clinch take her down and look for submission so I'm gonna have to take a just on dry J for this one called what coming off an SDK O of value attorney as well or let's know as well so we'll definitely see what Jojo can do and I'm excited for that fight because Calderwood always puts on good fights we'll see what she's gonna be very shy fight yes it will be let's move on to the anti-weight fight that's going on I love this fight I cannot wait for this fight myself personally the number two contender in the Bantamweight division your eye favorite the California kid the legend of the WSC the only guy to be down the cruise taking on Jimmy Elle Terra Rivera what are you thoughts on this fight is gonna be a very good fight Jimmy Rivera actually fought Dennis from you guys to get in and lost unfortunately to get into the tough house but he went back and reinvented himself and he's actually got a very unique style he comes from wrestling and Karate background he trains at the same Karate Jam is Uriah Hall someone who's got some devastating knockout highlight reels in his a red basket Uriah favors of course the former longtime WEC featherweight champion and he misses that championship title he just lost dominant cruise and right now he's trying to get back into title contention he's not but he's not gonna fight for the title again as long as Dominic as I felt or good well yeah just down to the two other times if I yeah but I mean your eye favors and gamers so we're just gonna have to see I think he's gonna need to fight Dilla Joe before that happens I don't think he's gonna need to be together very mean streak in order to get back to a title fight again but he's gonna have to start with Jimmy Rivera and Jimmy Rivera is no joke Jimmy Rivera likes to utilize a lot of movement he'll he's very powerful this hand as well he's got very powerful kicks and like I said he's got that wrestling background so he's very explosive with his double leg takedowns and a single ex very sneaky with single legs he's really good at changing levels as is your eye of favor these two have very similar styles right favors also heavy-handed wrestler he's got very good jokes the difference is that Jimmy Rivera utilizes kicks from the outside he utilizes the outside utilizes his range better than your eye favor does so that being said I'm gonna have the upset I'm gonna take the upset I believe Jimmy Rivera is gonna win really I'm picking favor second round with the guillotine I mean he's got a nasty show I think it's gonna be favorite I mean favorite I know he's coming off of lost against down but still I mean it's favor is favor favor is one of those guys I don't think he's gonna fall off a cliff in the season your eye favors only losses are title fights that being said his only loss that wasn't a title fight was to Frankie Edgar so you're eye favors a gamer you're eye favors no joke but I have to take Jimmy Rivera he's no jokes that's why I'm I that's why I can't go against him it would be definitely an upset if Rivera wins but I also think Rivera was actually the odd favorite for this fight I believe that he actually has the I think he's actually the favorite in this fight according to Vegas also real quick and give my prediction for the Kaldurwood fight I'm taking Kaldurwood in the decision as well so so we got two differing opinions already let's go to the fight that I'm most excited for and people might be you know listening to this and saying all these guys actually don't watch MMA these guys don't like MMA you know this guy's an idiot who just the host yet CM Punk taking on Mickey Gall you got the the former wrestler the former WV champion CM Punk who has a record of 0 0 0 because it's never fought no amateur fights no pro fights taking on Mickey Gall who has two pro fights kind of one two amateur fights as well he's won both of those called out CM Punk at during a looking for a fight Dan White series where he looks for fighters to sign for the UFC Mickey Gall calls out CM Punk and then they set this up CM Punk's debut is kind of an 18 months in the making last time where when he admitted the announcement that he was going to the UFC that was at UFC 185 Anthony Pettus was still the lightweight champion so there's definitely a lot has changed since CM Punk made his debut or he's been trained as he's been trying to take that two years off to train well he also got injured twice yes he did get surgery twice before I jump in and fanboy and freak out give me your thoughts on punk first golf I haven't seen CM Punk fight I've seen no one has no one has no one has no one has that's that's the interesting thing Anthony Showtime Pettus said that he will surprise a lot of people of course CM Punk went to Duke Rufus Rufus sport in Milwaukee Wisconsin CM Punk couldn't have picked a better place to actually train and utilize his skills for his mixed martial arts debut but he's fighting a very young and hungry Mickey Gall makes Mickey Gall is very scrappy Mickey Gall I believe represents the next level of complete mixed martial artists because he's got very six digits and he's got very good striking as well so this is gonna be a very interesting fight and this fight I would have to give to Mickey Gall because of the fact that he has so much experience he has experience over someone who hasn't had any fights I have to I'm not counting out CM Punk because I do believe that he may have a trick up his sleeve or two but I believe Mickey Gall is just gonna it's just gonna take off in the in the later rounds in the second and third rounds see logic says that you're right I mean a guy who's ever stepped in an octagon at all a guy a professional octagon he's been from a crowd so he's gonna suck him out but I see your logic here but then again I go back to I what 2008 2007 when I went to Detroit Michigan WrestleMania 23 I saw CM Punk live at WrestleMania it was one of the coolest things ever and he wasn't even on that important of a fight but it just he's a Chicago kid I've watched him in the WWE because I was a weird fanboy kid who liked who liked wrestling and I just I'm excited for this fight I'm excited to see what he can finally do he looked fantastic at the way ins and he didn't look drawn out he looked healthy he did look very good at the way in and he looked at and that's the first step a lot of people say that the way ins is the first fight yeah and he looked happy to which was definitely which was definitely exciting and I'm just I'm I'm I'm just I want to pick him I want to pick him so badly I want to pick I want to pick CM Punk and I'm gonna do it I don't know why I think he could surprise a lot of people I can prove everybody wrong it is very possible in this sport in a sport of mixed martial arts just like this anything can happen so it isn't impossible that CM Punk can get the victory it's not impossible it's very possible and plausible he can get the victory but as you said earlier logic states that someone with experience can trump anybody who doesn't have experience and Mickey Gall has four fights combined with amateur and pro so we're gonna have to see I think I just think that CM Punk I think I think it was somewhere talking that all is gonna try to work you know try to finish him the first round kind of wear himself out and see him punk is gonna try to just I think it's gonna be like a sneaky guillotine or something I guillotine where he tries to go we're gonna go for a takedown and he's able to wrap it up kind of like the cane verdume fight where where can shoots with takedown and verdume wraps it up I know you know for reason we're doing like a six six belts black belt but I don't care I don't care see him once in this fight he's gonna win it second round sub I'm gonna say it I'm gonna say it's a stupid thing it's a stupid stupid prediction I'll take Mickey golfers from knockout how about that I hate you so much I mean logic states that you're right but but looking at this fight looking at the fights that we've been very interesting fight we have three different picks so far because we can be very interesting card we've picked three different you have Andre Andre in the first fight I have called her would you have Rivera the second flight I have a favor I have punk in the third fight mainly because I just want to see him punk to win I think that'd be crazy if you did win you have golf and let's move on to the coming event I don't think we're gonna change I don't think we're gonna differ on this one speaking of a breezy over to him for breezy over to him taking a dress around the coming in a rematch a rematch where for Brazil pretty much banks around for five rounds what do you thought send her doing versus Brown it's gonna be very interesting to fight both guys are yeah this the two is gonna be very interesting fight like I said it's gonna be very big fight is very important fight for both fighters Travis Brown Travis Brown has to he has to Travis Brown has to realize where he is and where he stacks up in the heavyweight division of the UFC he's got to make up for that that loss against pain for breezy over doom for breezy over doom is hungry he's a former champion he wants to get back at the winner of this main event is gonna be very interesting fight for breezy over doom of course he loves to utilize his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu very sneaky and crafty with his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu submitted came the last year's with the guillotine in order to win the UFC's heavyweight championships so he submitted a minute to Arunogara so he's a very long time veteran of the sport and of course he's training at Kings MMA with half a el cordero also the guy to beat Fedor as well yeah he beat Fedor he beat Fedor he's done the impossible he's beaten Fedor he actually gave Fedor his first loss or slurf made or win on that skid but as I said for breezy over doom was really polished up his striking Travis Brown has got to get something going here Travis Brown has to wonder where he stacks in the UFC's heavyweight division like I said earlier it's gonna be it's gonna be an interesting fight to watch I want to see the improvements that Travis Brown has made as well as for breezy over doom because both guys are coming off of knockout losses and really want to get back into title contention and I believe this is gonna be a very competitive fight the most competitive fight of the night other than the main event is gonna be very competitive fight really this is gonna be very competitive fight I think for breezy is gonna smoke him again I think for breezy is just motivated I think that Travis is motivated well and Travis Brown is not with the same since he went to Glendale fighting camp when he moved to to train with Edmund with Ronda I just agree he hasn't looked the same and coming off a loss that's better when he was with Greg Jackson yeah and coming up on a lot like that to Kane so quickly I'm then going to fight for baricio it's not a step down in competition you're basically kind of stepping up as well I mean for baricio stepping up for baricio and can around the same level to me I think that Kane's just injury kind of injury problems hold him back but for baricio and Kane are those elite heavy weights here along with steep a and over him I think Brown's not there yet I don't think this is gonna I don't think anything's gonna change really I think for baricio is gonna be able to take him down and if he's gonna win any fight on the ground I mean really I mean really anyone in the heavyweight division could beat for baricio on the ground and I think I think he's just gonna smoke Travis I'll tell you what Travis Brown is at his best when he's utilizing his footwork and movement when he's utilizing his range in his distance properly when he's utilizing his level changes properly we've seen glint we have seen glimpses of potential from Travis Brown but we have he has but he's had trouble putting it all together but he's impressed lately he has regret we're gonna have to see how he puts it all together but like I said I believe for baricio Verdon's gonna win and I think he's gonna win by TKO I think he's gonna win by sub I think that he's gonna try to take him down just where I'm out there and I think he's gonna submit him maybe third or second round I think he's gonna be able to beat down Travis Brown I don't think I don't think it's gonna be close I think Travis needs to go kind of get his confidence back up instead of you know he took this fight on short notice he does seem like he's very motivated to win this fight but then again I just don't I don't see him putting it all together and beating for baricio let's move on to the main event though this one I'm super excited for because a big fight both literally and figuratively the baddest man on the planet know what nothing better than to have steep any ochits versus Alistair over him it's gonna be very interesting fight this is gonna be one of the biggest fights of the night I cannot wait for this fight you're even me here Steve a chicken on how was the real room and if you watch any of the embedded stuff no I have not steep a is the funniest fighter I've seen older embedded stuff of steep a is a trickster what he did was what he was doing on this one where he was like calling people and he'd be like hey one more thing and hang up I love steep a funny and then the reaction he had when he beat for Brazil I'm the world champ I'm the world champ in Brazil in his hometown that was a very iconic moment and let's jump into the fight because you know over him obviously former dream champion former kickboxer kickbox champion a former strike force champion a lot of a lot of accolades under over over over him's a belt but that elusive UFC belt yeah the one title that has eluded him his whole entire mixed martial arts career his whole and combative career is a time is the UFC heavyweight champion is it time that he finally gets it oh man you know what we've talked about for Brice over doing being a longtime heavyweight champ and even before that we talked about came to Lasse as being a longtime heavyweight champ well no one's been able to defend defend the belt twice more than twice see me which is is a very economical smart fighter he likes to utilize his angles in his boxing well he's got very good movement with his footwork he's got very good defensive striking he's also got very good grappling as well he likes the level change a lot he'll give you different looks he won't know if he's gonna strike with you if he's gonna take you down he's got very crisp boxing Chris combination smooth combinations Alistair over him as you said is the K1 world Grand Prix heavyweight champion that means that he is the best striker in the world today he is the best that you know what can I actually made up a rule because of Alistair over him and his dominance Alistair over him would just drive his knee into opponents up against the ropes and beat them up K1 has now established that you cannot utilize your knees unless you're engaging in the clinch Alistair over him is just monstrous with his knees with his Muay Thai he's got monstrous striking he knocked out Travis I'm sorry he's knocked out he actually got knocked out by Travis Brown we're in a weird fight yeah Travis just kept it on a T kicks and we know what at that time Alistair over him was utilizing a lot of heavy lifting you know he got pop for Royds he utilized a lot of heavy lifting in his early days and his hey days so that he can knock out guys in the first round and just get him out of there now with the high level UFC heavyweight you can't do that you can't do that with someone like Steve Emioches because he's just gonna weather the storm and wear you out in the later rounds now Alistair over him is more of the wiser heavyweight and he's utilized all his tools in his bread basket to better himself and to better his UFC career and what better way for UFC heavyweight championship belt to add to the feather in his cap to the many feathers in his cap this is gonna be very hard fight to pick I would have to pick Steve Emioches because the fact that he's extremely smart he's a very smart fighter he's looked at all aspects of this fight I think this is gonna be very interesting fight to watch I think this is Steve base fight to win Alistair over him if Alistair over him utilizes his range and his kicks and if he's very smart as well then he can win this fight but if if Steve a utilizes his superior footwork in his boxing I think Steve a will win see I think all logic says it's over in time over in going to be motivated over in going to you know use all these skills that he's developed over the years he's going to tie his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu he means if he wins this is his 50th win in mixed martial arts in his professional martial arts career and he's been around so much he's submitted V to our Belfort he's been around so much he knows the game and I think all logic says that you know over him wins this but Steve pays in Cleveland Steve Bay is Cleveland yes deep a has the cue on his side yes this is going to be the loudest I think UFC event since we've gone to Canada or Brazil yeah Ireland this is going to be insane I think Steve is gonna be motivated I think Steve is just going to be coming in there and needing to get a win on his home turf and because he doesn't want to deal where he lives and people being like oh you couldn't even win a Cleveland people are gonna want to see that I think he's gonna be motivated I think it's just gonna use the Cleveland stuff alone I think he's gonna win and I think I think over into the better fighter I think over him all around is a better fighter on the ground striking he's obviously got those deadly kicks those deadly knees but I think Steve is gonna win I don't know how I think he's probably gonna you know catch him and knock him out but he's very economical fighter he's a very smart heavyweight fighter and you have to be you have to be when you're fighting at the heavyweight division because any one punch can knock you out in the heavyweight division so we're gonna see we're gonna see what happens but I agree I think that Steve Amy Ochis is gonna win I think Steve is gonna use that home crowd advantage to get the win but this is the first time in the end minutes that we've ever had three differing picks I have seen fun you have Mickey Goll you have just a young drajay I have you on Calderwood you have Jimmy Rivera I have your eye favor we both have for Brazil and we both have Steve Amy Ochis very interesting card to watch if CM Punk wins I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna streak I'm gonna streak if he comes out to the cult of personality and he comes out and just and beats Mickey Goll I'm I'm not gonna shut up about it CM Punk's gonna break the internet regardless of what happens on UFC 203 I'm gonna be the most annoying person to do a show with next week either because I will be talking because I'll be so sad or I will be just saying that to see that to see a punk win I'm rooting for CM Punk I hope the kid wins I don't think Danny's written against him I think he's just using logic but nothing against CM Punk I don't want to take anything away from CM Punk the fact that he got here is fantastic yeah it's not like absolutely just getting a paycheck he's the fact that he's stepping up in competition and I mean stepping up a competition to a competition in the biggest stage in combat sports good on CM Punk I'm excited I'm excited for UFC 203 204 is coming up you UFC 204 are you sold out this being vs Henderson 2 that's gonna be a great fight we talked about 205 at Madison Square Garden 206 might be the return of GSP this is gonna be one of the biggest years in MMA history this is ever 2016 2016 is gonna be awesome USC and it's not already I know it's not
