Speaker A:It is official.
Speaker A:UFC 318 is happening this weekend.
Speaker A:It is official.
Speaker A:It will be Dustin Poria's last fight.
Speaker A:It'll be Dustin Poria's last fight.
Speaker A:It's Dustin Poria's last fight, bro.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's Dustin Poria's last fight.
Speaker A:I'm not okay.
Speaker A:I'm not okay.
Speaker A:He defines an entire generation.
Speaker A:He has never even won a championship.
Speaker A:Well, he's won an interim championship, so, you know, we'll give him that.
Speaker A:But like, Dustin Poria makes his final appearance as a professional mixed martial artist, and it will be this weekend, and it is against none other than Max Blessed Holloway.
Speaker A:What a crazy full circle.
Speaker A:This is Dustin Poria's last fight.
Speaker A:He was Max Holloway's first fight in the ufc.
Speaker A:Beat him, submitted him.
Speaker A:Then they had a rematch which was so, so good.
Speaker A:Beat him by decision.
Speaker A:Now we have a third match, which on paper, we didn't need because he's up too.
Speaker A:Well, you know, if it was one, one, maybe, but he's up two.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker A:But this is Max Holloway versus Dustin Poirier.
Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker A:This is Max Parry.
Speaker A:This is Max.
Speaker A:Max Poirier.
Speaker A:This is Dustin Poirier versus Max Blessed Holloway.
Speaker A:You got Dustin Poirier versus Max Holloway in what is going to be a certified banger.
Speaker A:Both of them coming off of losses in their last fights.
Speaker A:Dustin Poria coming off that loss in the lightweight title fight against Islam Makachev last year, which he lost, but he put up a great fight.
Speaker A:Probably gave him.
Speaker A:Gave Islam the fight of his life.
Speaker A:The best fight in Islam's career thus far.
Speaker A:And Max Holloway is coming out of a devastating, devastating, devastating knockout loss because he went through.
Speaker A:He went through the machine.
Speaker A:That is Elliot Pori.
Speaker A:Of course he did.
Speaker A:And he was slept last year, remember?
Speaker A:I remember they were in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker A:I was happy.
Speaker A:I came back.
Speaker A:We went to life.
Speaker A:Remember that day we went to life and we saw Scott Mapuma.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Max Holloway got slapped.
Speaker A:Like, he got slapped, like, nicely, like two hours later, dog.
Speaker A:After.
Speaker A:After I was dead dancing, Scott's Mapuma was doing his thing.
Speaker A:This was back when we still liked Scots Mapuma, by the way.
Speaker A:Like, this was back when the public liked him and it was fun.
Speaker A:And then I got home, Joe.
Speaker A:Max Holloway got slipped.
Speaker A:So, yeah, both of these dudes are coming out of two big losses, and they do need the W's.
Speaker A:You can argue that Max needs it more because he's the only one here who's gonna stay active after the fight.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:But also, do you really just.
Speaker A:Do you really want to beat Dustin Poirier in his last fight?
Speaker A:Like, do you really want El Diamante to walk away on a L?
Speaker A:If this was.
Speaker A:I know WWE and UFC and tko, some way, somehow, you're a fit me.
Speaker A:Script writers do the right thing.
Speaker A:Max Holloway cannot win this fight.
Speaker A:And it hurts me to say that I love Max Holloway.
Speaker A:I think he's a great fighter, one of the best fighters in the world.
Speaker A:Former champion.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:However.
Speaker A:Not today.
Speaker A:Not.
Speaker A:Not.
Speaker A:Not this weekend.
Speaker A:It's not about him.
Speaker A:Literally, it's not.
Speaker A:It's not Max Holloway's last fight.
Speaker A:It's Dustin Poirier's last fight.
Speaker A:And we need that.
Speaker A:We need that.
Speaker A:Listen, I don't care.
Speaker A:I don't care.
Speaker A:That Max Blessed Holloway is younger and he's.
Speaker A:I don't care.
Speaker A:I don't care.
Speaker A:I want to see Dustin Poirier win.
Speaker A:Where will that leave Dustin Poirier?
Speaker A:That is the question.
Speaker A:As far as all time ranking goals amongst the UFC lightweight elites, here's where it gets crazy.
Speaker A:He's never won a championship and yet he's helped define an entire generation.
Speaker A:He's helped define an entire era of mma.
Speaker A:I keep saying this lightweight division is stacked and these are some of the best fighters that will ever exist in this division.
Speaker A:Remember, I'm always saying Gai Porier, Chandler.
Speaker A:Chandler needs to go.
Speaker A:And like he's, he's, he's lost like three of his last four fights.
Speaker A:He's probably.
Speaker A:He's had seven fights in the UFC and he's lost about five of them, if not six of them.
Speaker A:So Chandler needs to go.
Speaker A:Actually, like, no, this is not Bellator.
Speaker A:He needs to go.
Speaker A:Like, he needs to go.
Speaker A:So anyway, Dustin Poirier is him.
Speaker A:Remember, he knocked out Conor McGregor and then in what we can assume is Conor McGregor's last fight in the UFC, he beat him by TKO.
Speaker A:Why?
Speaker A:Because Conor broke his leg.
Speaker A:And then after that he was on some.
Speaker A:Your wife is in me DMs.
Speaker A:So Dustin Poirier, while never being champion, has been so integral to the lightweight division.
Speaker A:Cornerstone, a keystone.
Speaker A:He is up there in terms of the best fighters of the past 10 years.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:And I want to show.
Speaker A:Let's look at his losing record because I know he is doing good.
Speaker A:Where's.
Speaker A:Where's his record?
Speaker A:Not that man record.
Speaker A:There we go.
Speaker A:His losses are to Islam.
Speaker A:Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Michael Johnson.
Speaker A:Oh, and Conor McGregor too.
Speaker A:Listen to those names.
Speaker A:Listen to those names.
Speaker A:Listen to those names, bro.
Speaker A:In the ufc he's lost to, you know, that is.
Speaker A:Neither do I.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker A:Cop Swanson.
Speaker A:Legend.
Speaker A:Legend.
Speaker A:And he was young.
Speaker A:This was just his third fight.
Speaker A:He was young.
Speaker A:He then lost to Conor McGregor and that was after a four fight win streak.
Speaker A:So he had a four fight wing streak lost to Conor McGregor.
Speaker A:That's Conor McGregor.
Speaker A:Cool.
Speaker A:He gets on a nice four fight win streak.
Speaker A:Once again, who does he lose to?
Speaker A:Michael Johnson.
Speaker A:Cool.
Speaker B:He.
Speaker A:He keeps going.
Speaker A:5 fight win streak with a tie with a no contest with Eddie Alvarez because of an illegal knee.
Speaker A:And then who does he lose to?
Speaker A:Oh, Khabib Namagomedov.
Speaker A:He loses to Khabib Namagomedov in what was a title fight.
Speaker A:Cool, cool.
Speaker A:He does his thing, puts on an absolute banger and an absolute classic with Dan Hooker.
Speaker A:If you've never watched Dustin Poirier versus Dan Hooker, I, I, I need you to go watch it.
Speaker A:I need you just watch the first two rounds.
Speaker A:Just watch two rounds.
Speaker A:I swear to God, it's an absolute banger.
Speaker A:Fine.
Speaker A:Wins that banger with, with Dan Hooker.
Speaker A:And then what does he do?
Speaker A:Back to back wins against Conor McGregor.
Speaker B:Cool.
Speaker A:He then loses to Charles Oliveira in a title fight.
Speaker A:Charles Oliveira do Bronx.
Speaker A:Cool.
Speaker A:He then wins against, of course, Michael Chandler.
Speaker A:Everyone beats Michael Chandler, right?
Speaker A:And then he goes to, he, he then loses to Justin Gaethje in a BMF title fight in what was an insane, say, knockout.
Speaker A:That was a crazy head kick, bro.
Speaker A:I remember watching that and I was like, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Dustin.
Speaker A:But cool.
Speaker A:He then knocks out BSD further closing the gate from these young lightweights.
Speaker A:Remember I did say that BSD tried it.
Speaker A:Dustin Poirier said, not now, kid.
Speaker A:We still got this.
Speaker A:Bang, bang.
Speaker A:Beat him.
Speaker A:Dariush tried it.
Speaker A:Oliveira said, nah, nah, kid, we got this.
Speaker A:Bang, bang, Fazeev.
Speaker A:Try this.
Speaker A:Gaethje said, nah, nah, kid, we got this.
Speaker A:Bang, bang.
Speaker A:These old heads did not let these kids come up.
Speaker A:It wasn't only until now until Patty beat Tony Ferguson.
Speaker A:But then again, Tony Ferguson has the longest losing streak in UFC history.
Speaker A:Up until last year, it was the longest active losing streak in UFC history.
Speaker A:So I really going to consider Tony Ferguson.
Speaker A:And then who did Patty beat a few months ago?
Speaker A:Oh, yes.
Speaker A:Michael Chandler.
Speaker A:Michael, not dog.
Speaker A:Michael Chandler.
Speaker A:Wait, I, I know this.
Speaker A:Go.
Speaker A:I am digressing and I know I am digressing.
Speaker A:Michael Chandler, mixed martial arts frick.
Speaker A:Michael Chandler has had a total of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 UFC fights.
Speaker A:He's won two of them.
Speaker A:He's been finished 1, 2, 3, 4.
Speaker A:He's been 1, 2.
Speaker A:Okay, he's been finished twice.
Speaker A:Neither one of these decisions were split, by the way.
Speaker A:Michael Chandler, I don't know why we consider you among the elites.
Speaker A:I guess it's because of what you did as, you know, a Bellator fighter and that's you.
Speaker A:Cool.
Speaker A:But as a UFC fighter, I just needed to be on record on record that I don't rate Michael Chandler as a UFC fighter.
Speaker A:You are in the ufc, which means you are a good fighter and shout out to you for that.
Speaker A:What you did in Bellator can never be undone and shout out to you for that.
Speaker A:But Michael Chandler as a UFC fighter is trash and mid and I said it.
Speaker A:Okay, that's kind of, that's Kind of harsh, but I don't rate him as a UFC fighter.
Speaker A:As a fighter in general, yeah, that's Michael Chandler.
Speaker A:But in the ufc, his UFC resume.
Speaker A:Please, please, please.
Speaker A:Kevin Holland has a better resume.
Speaker A:So he beats bsd and then he loses to Islam Makhachev back to Dustin Pori.
Speaker A:So this record is clean, man.
Speaker A:This resume is clean because the people he's beaten as well, Eddie Alvarez, Justin Gaethje, Anthony Pettis, Jim Miller, Bobby Gre, bro, Justin Gaethje, Max Holloway, Dan Hooker, Conor McGregor.
Speaker A:He has beaten solid names, solid people.
Speaker A:He's lost to solid names as well.
Speaker A:So Dustin Poirier will retire and we will remember him as one of the best lightweights to ever do it, and he will go down in history as probably top five to never win a championship.
Speaker A:But unfortunately, that's all it is.
Speaker A:We're gonna.
Speaker A:Carmelo Anthony, Dustin Poirier forever.
Speaker A:Shame.
Speaker A:All right, so this past weekend, we had Derek Lewis doing his thing.
Speaker A:Once again, heavyweights are weird, man, because Derrick Lewis was fighting and he got a KO against the 25 year old.
Speaker A:Did I mention Derek Lewis is 42 in round one.
Speaker A:35 seconds in third, 35 seconds in.
Speaker A:42 year old Derek Lewis knocks out 25 year old Taliesin Teixeira, who was undefeated coming into this fight, by the way.
Speaker A:Derek Lewis, oh, you know, 12 losses, 29 wins.
Speaker A:But that just goes.
Speaker A:That just goes to show why Derrick Lewis is the knockout king.
Speaker A:Holds the record for the most knockouts in UFC history.
Speaker A:I think it's like 13 or something.
Speaker A:It's crazy.
Speaker A:It's a crazy stat, but I did not just bring that up to talk about Derrick Lewis.
Speaker A:I brought that up to talk about what Derrick Lewis said after the fight.
Speaker A:They said, okay, Joe Rogan did his thing.
Speaker A:Derek.
Speaker A:No, wait, what am I doing?
Speaker A:Derek, you came.
Speaker A:You came here and you did your thing.
Speaker A:What's next for you, my friend?
Speaker A:You know what he said?
Speaker A:He said, what's next is my.
Speaker A:I want my wife next.
Speaker A:It's gonna.
Speaker A:I've been away for two weeks.
Speaker A:It's gonna be a lot of ground and pound.
Speaker A:Ground and pound.
Speaker A:Okay, that's not what he said.
Speaker A:It is what he said, but that's not what he actually said.
Speaker A:What he.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker A:What he.
Speaker A:Well, it is what he actually said.
Speaker A:He said that right in the middle of the Octagon.
Speaker A:But what he also said was, I want Tom Aspinall.
Speaker A:Listen, I love Derrick Lewis.
Speaker A:I love Derrick Lewis.
Speaker A:Black Beast.
Speaker A:We all love Derrick Lewis.
Speaker A:We all love Derrick Lewis as Derrick Lewis, not Derrick Lewis, UFC contender.
Speaker A:Because that is not what he is.
Speaker A:Not anymore, at least.
Speaker A:I mean, Derrick Lewis, dude, come on, dude, come on, come on, dude.
Speaker A:Is he even ranked as a heavyweight?
Speaker A:Number nine.
Speaker A:You are number nine ranked.
Speaker A:Derek Lewis.
Speaker A:Derek Lewis, too, who was on a losing streak, by the way.
Speaker A:Oh, not a losing streak, sorry.
Speaker A:No, sorry.
Speaker A:He had won two of his last five fights, actually.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's right.
Speaker A:I got it, I got it.
Speaker A:And he kept, he keeps getting knocked out.
Speaker A:He is Tom Aspen.
Speaker A:Tom Aspinall will hurt Derrick Lewis.
Speaker A:I'm trying to be professional about it and look at his record and just, you know, say, try to come up with a reason for this fight not to happen, but that's it.
Speaker A:Tom Aspinall will hurt Derrick Lewis.
Speaker A:If we were concerned for Jon Jones, do we really want to put Derrick Lewis in the Octagon with Tom Aspinall?
Speaker A:No, I don't want to see that fight.
Speaker A:Please can I not see that?
Speaker A:Please can I not see that fight?
Speaker A:I know we won't.
Speaker A:And I love Derrick Lewis for calling his shot.
Speaker A:I love Derrick Lewis for taking his shot, but no, no, no, keep, keep, keep.
Speaker A:He's the Kevin Holland of the heavyweight division.
Speaker A:Does he not know that?
Speaker A:Yannick Sinner.
Speaker B:I want to see someone get beat.
Speaker B:That's.
Speaker B:I want to see.
Speaker B:I want to see that.
Speaker A:I don't want to see.
Speaker A:I don't want to see a 40, 40 year old man in the ring with a 32 year old.
Speaker A:Who's the bigger, stronger.
Speaker B:You are ageist, sir.
Speaker B:You are ages, Sir.
Speaker B:If a 42 year old man wants to make his dream happen, to fight someone who's 32 years old and potentially win, let him do it.
Speaker B:He still an active professional.
Speaker B:He's an active professional and he just won, didn't he?
Speaker A:And he's ranked.
Speaker B:He just won.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker A:Fair.
Speaker B:Who else is left for him to fight?
Speaker A:A lot more people.
Speaker B:All right, then.
Speaker A:A lot more people than the champion.
Speaker A:A lot more people than the champion.
Speaker B:If he wants to.
Speaker B:If he wants to.
Speaker B:Purple.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker A:If, if Derek Lewis can beat either Alexander Volkov or S G. Has he fought either one of those?
Speaker A:Let me see Alexander Volkov or Cyril.
Speaker A:God, no, he hasn't.
Speaker A:Oh, no.
Speaker A:Tko.
Speaker A:Cyril gone.
Speaker A:He lost to Cirogan via tko.
Speaker A:And that's.
Speaker A:And Cyril Gan used to be the measuring stick.
Speaker A:I don't know if he still is because you know how we feel about him, but Cyril Gan is the number one ranked heavyweight contender in the world and he beat Derek Lewis.
Speaker A:Oh, guess what, guess what.
Speaker A:Derek Lewis beat Volkov.
Speaker A:I remember, actually, that was a hit.
Speaker A:Yo, that was a crazy knockout.
Speaker A:I remember Volkov's eyes rolled back.
Speaker A:Hit.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:No shout out.
Speaker A:Derek Lewis, he beat Volkov, but he.
Speaker A:He didn't beat zero Gun.
Speaker A:Zero Gun beat Volkov.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:Yeah, you were saying.
Speaker B:I want to see that fight person.
Speaker A:I don't.
Speaker A:I don't.
Speaker A:I really don't.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:That's probably going to be like what happened between Novak Djokovic and Janik Sinner.
Speaker B:That's probably what.
Speaker B:What's probably gonna happen.
Speaker A:That's probably in one minute or less.
Speaker A:Tell me how that went.
Speaker B:Djokovic and Sinner.
Speaker B:Yeah, it was an absolute unmitigated disaster.
Speaker B:Djokovic.
Speaker A:Tell me, actually, in one minute or less.
Speaker A:Yeah, tell me about Djokovic's weekend.
Speaker B:He was at home.
Speaker A:Damn.
Speaker B:He was at home.
Speaker B:I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker A:Damn.
Speaker B:He wasn't home.
Speaker B:He was sent home on Friday.
Speaker B:I don't know what to.
Speaker A:He's injured.
Speaker B:Like, he's.
Speaker A:Again, I told you.
Speaker B:Well, he.
Speaker B:At least he got to the Final Four, which is.
Speaker B:Which is mad.
Speaker A:Which is.
Speaker A:Which is mad.
Speaker A:Which is mad.
Speaker A:But I told you that the trajectory that Yannick S is on is clear.
Speaker B:Yeah, it is very clear.
Speaker B:It was very clear that match.
Speaker B:It was painful to watch.
Speaker A:It was.
Speaker B:Yeah, I know Djokovic is the goat, but I even, even.
Speaker B:I was like.
Speaker B:And I wanted him to win that match, by the way, so.
Speaker A:But anyway, can we say he has entered his wizard years?
Speaker B:He definitely.
Speaker B:He definitely has.
Speaker B:He's still better than most people in the league, of course, ata ATP, however, he's not Grand Slam final champion.
Speaker A:He ain't dropping 50 no more.
Speaker B:He ain't dropping 50.
Speaker A:And if he does, it's a special occasion.
Speaker B:The only 50s he's dropping are unforced errors.
Speaker B:He's not directly.
Speaker B:Anyway, winners, right?
Speaker B:So Wimbledon final.
Speaker B:It was a rematch of the.
Speaker B:One of the greatest matches ever.
Speaker B:Ronan Garrus from last.
Speaker A:Last, last.
Speaker B:Last month.
Speaker B:Janik Sinner won in four sets.
Speaker B:We call.
Speaker B:Call that a gentleman.
Speaker B:You can call it a gentleman sweep for those NBA people.
Speaker A:Shout out.
Speaker B:He lost the first set, 6 4.
Speaker B:And then he locked in for the rest.
Speaker B:And then it wasn't just.
