But today, I got business I want to chat to you about. And that episode is brought to you by Total Wireless, the official wireless provider of UFC. They're in your corner with unlimited 5G data that will not slow you down. That is a total power move, guys. So when Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano were announced to fight on Netflix, I immediately was my ears perked up. Because now that's information, right? That most people that live in the mixed martial arts space would pay attention to. Hey, I understand that there is a section of fan that will say this should have happened so many years ago because they're both retired. They've both been retired in a way that they left mixed martial arts did not look good, guys. Remember, the way they left mixed martial arts was losing to two of the greatest female fighters of all time. I'm talking Amanda Nunes and Chris Cyborg. They didn't get beat by a whole bunch of people on the way out. But again, you have to kind of pay attention to that and pay attention to mixed martial arts to recognize and remember that they didn't just get ran out the door by some random Women, they got beat by two of the most elite female fighters of all time. So then they go away and they do their own thing. Obviously, Carano did a lot of movies. Ronda did movies, wwe and all kinds of other stuff. So that was attention grabbing. Right, but it was attention grabbing for the names. I don't know what Gina Carano has left in terms of mixed martial arts. I believe that Ronda Rousey still has time. Now, she's not young by any means. Louise, tell me how old she is real quick. Ronda Rousey. Ronda's not young, but she still has time in terms of an athletic career. Gina's like 45. Rhonda's 39. Right. Pereira's still of that age himself, and he's still the world champion, or at least was. Oh, he is the world champion until those guys start the first round in Miami. But at 43, obviously Gina hasn't fought for a long time and she's a little bit older, but that was grabby for the reason of the names. Then you get the second fight. Francis Ngannou. When I was just begging the UFC to make a deal with Francis, I'm like, guys, get Francis back. Now that he's a free agent with the pfl, obviously, that signing tells me that Francis and his team probably had some things in the works whenever they left the pfl. So I don't necessarily know, looking back, if the PFL just released Francis Ngannou or Francis Ngannou and his team went to them and said, hey, I have this opportunity I need out of this contract. One, PFL will then save money, right? Because obviously Francis makes a big, big amount. Two, they don't have to pay the opponent because, remember, Francis negotiated into his contract that his opponents would make big money. It was a decision that was very easy to make considering you probably were not getting the returns on the Francis Ngannou experience or experiment like you thought you might have gotten, because again, there's no pay per view. How do you quantify what Francis is bringing back to you outside of just an audience? Right. So when I look back now, I think that there was probably a more of a mutual separation. But again, that's still. Francis is fighting someone else. I don't know that it's going to be competitive. The guy's tough, Linz, but I don't know that he's going to be competitive with Francis because I still believe that Francis is one of the best fighters in the world in the heavyweight division. But the third fight is what might have gotten Me most excited, Mike Perry and Nate Diaz. Now, let me tell you why Nate Diaz and Mike Perry are not two of the best welterweights in the world. Make no mistake about it. They are not of the level of Kamaru Usman and Islam Makhachev and Jack De La Maddalena and Michael Morales and Sean Brady and Ian Garry. They're not that. They are not that level of fighter. The best fighters are in the ufc, make no mistake about it. But why would that excite me? Because of the names and because of, you know, what it's going to bring. You can have. You can have fights, right? You can have fights and you can have matchups that are great on paper, but the whole thing leading is a bit of a. But this one will not be. This is two guys that know how to engage an audience and they know how to make people pay attention to what they're doing. Example, Hamza Achimayev, Sean Strickland, the last video I did the other day, Sean Strickland's one of those guys, too. Nathan Diaz has many losses in his career. Not many people can have the career of Nathan Diaz and still bring the number of eyes that he brings to whatever venture he is dealing with. When he went to boxing, people watched him. When he does mma, people watched him. Mike Perry has went and almost restarted his entire career by going to bare knuckle and becoming an absolute savage. I told Luke before he fought him, I said, he's a psychopath. You do not want to fight him under this rule set. Luke said, he's too small. I'm going to destroy him. We obviously saw what happened, but they have both gone from the ufc. Not only have they continued to build their names, they've gained star power that I don't even know that they could have gotten when they were in the ufc. Because when I look back, guys, and this is just me being completely truthful, right, I'm not hating on these guys because I love the matchup, because the matchup for me is a fun matchup between two guys that are going to make a fun fight, that are going to make the event feel special. They're going to talk trash, and it's going to be fun. But make no mistake about it, right? Nate Diaz in his last 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. He was 3 and 3 in the UFC, 4 and 4 in his last eight UFC fights. That's not knocking the door down of a world championship. Granted, he was fighting really good guys, right? He beat Michael Johnson, he beat Conor McGregor, and he lost to Conor Beat Pettis, lost to Masvidal, lost to Leon Edwards, beat Tony Ferguson. So he beat some good guys in that run, but he's not knocking the doors down of a world championship. Mike Perry, on the other hand, had it much worse. But again, I believe that this fight is. Is built on Nath Diaz. I don't think it's built on Mike Perry as much as people does. This is built on Nate Diaz, right? He was 4 and 4 his last four fights inside the UFC. But when you look at Perry, right, he beat Mickey Gall, got beat by Daniel Rodriguez, got bit by team, by beat by Tim Means. He had got beat by Jeff Neal before that. If it's ITE Luque, excuse me, Perry was one in four in the last five, right? So it's not like these guys were knocking the doors down of a title fight, but what they do bring is that fun, exciting fight, that brawl, the build to the fight that's going to really make people pay attention. So while the Rousey fight and the Carrano fight was attention grabbing, right? I can't say that I know what they're going to look like inside the Octagon, but I do know that when I watch Nate Diaz and, and when I watch Mike Perry, I watched two dudes that very recently I have seen compete at the highest level of the sport of mixed Martial arts, ignoring everything we're going to see in the build to the fight. I like that one. I like that one. And I also like, Honestly, I also like that there is somewhere that seems like it's real, right? Nothing's ever going to be the ufc. It just won't happen. But at least there it seems like it's real, a real event on a real platform that gives these people an ability to not only make a living, but have people tune in. It's free, it's Netflix, one of the biggest platforms in the world. So Mike said, I can't just say f you, because we're going to do that when we get into the cage. That's the real F you. So what needs to be said is, effing train hard because I'm going to try and hurt you. I'm going to try to hurt you. So he's telling Nate Diaz now, hey, I believe Mike Perry. That dude broke Luke's teeth on the bottom. It was so bad. He beat up my boy. That shit was crazy, man. I believe that this fight card works, right? I believe that this fight card works. I kind of thought, if I'm being honest, I kind of thought, if it wasn't going to be Michael chandler against Conor McGregor that the UFC may do Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz for a trilogy, I thought that would be the biggest fight, but obviously Nate decided something different, and he's going in the Perry direction, and I think it works. I think what they've done with this Carano Rousey card is made a real place for people to fight outside of the ufc. And I mean, honestly, competition is a good thing. It always is and always has been and it always will be. And I love seeing guys have the ability to go out there and make some money. So, yeah, congratulations. That was good. I'm excited. I'm actually excited, you know, hey, but for people saying, compared to the White House card, no chance, guys. Come on. The White House card is the best card of the year for sure. And it's better than that. Let's just be completely honest. So until next time, guys like subscribe. Tell your friends to tell their friends. DC's got a YouTube channel, and I'm checking in with you guys multiple times a week. Hey, let me know in those comments. So what y' all think about this fight? Which one are you most excited about when it comes to Carano versus Rousey? And boy, Rhonda's got a lot to say. Maybe I'll make a video on that one, too. Till next time. Peace.
