Josh ThomsonHOST
But look, you've been getting finishes in the third round, so it's hard for me to really question it that much, right? I mean, your fight with Bruno Silva, your fight with Alambaev, right? Both of them were finishes in the third round.
Josh ThomsonHOST
And then you have Brandon Royval and Kyoji Horiguchi.
Josh ThomsonHOST
Kyoji Horiguchi was also in the third round.
Josh ThomsonHOST
And you got Brandon Revol in the first round.
Josh ThomsonHOST
So there were questions about your condition and your cardio.
Manel KapeGUEST
But let's see from this fight if he can take this kind of punch.
Manel KapeGUEST
You know, that's what we're going to see.
Josh ThomsonHOST
You have a knockout win over Kyoji Horiguchi.
Zach RugerHOST
If I'm being honest, you know, a next fight for him I think should be Tetsuo Taira.
Zach RugerHOST
If I'm trying to break down the division, you know, Kyoji Horiguchi and Asuma Baev, whoever wins that matchup is probably on a collision course with Tetsuo Taira or Brandon Royval.
Zach RugerHOST
Okay, and if it's going to be Loner Kavanaugh, he's already fought in Royval.
Zach RugerHOST
He could fight Pantoja, but I don't really know about that.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Oh, that's fun.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Winner could fight Horiguchi as number one contender, or he could just give Kavanaugh the shot if he wins.
Brendan SchaubHOST
I like that.
Brendan SchaubHOST
James Beckett, King Green's jiu-jitsu coach is one of my coaches.
Luke ThomasHOST
Almabaev's fighting
Jed MeshewHOST
Kyoji.
Luke ThomasHOST
Okay, but you could do Tyra.
Jed MeshewHOST
The winner of Al Mubai of KOG, you could do Tyra.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Tupira's brother's fighting.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Horiguchi.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Yeah, it's a good fight.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Yeah, yeah.
speaker_0HOST
And Van will enter UFC 336 on a 9 fight win streak having not lost since July of 2024 and now he's looking to make it double digits and continue submitting his name in the history books for this flyweight division.
speaker_0HOST
And standing across from him will be the number two ranked star boy, 32 years old out of Portugal, Manel Cop, who is on a four-fight win streak, but not only that, a four-fight knockout win streak, with most recently a finish coming against Kyoji Horiguchi in June.
speaker_0HOST
And prior to that, it was knockouts over Brandon Royval, Asu Omobaev, and Bruno Silva.
speaker_0HOST
And the only loss for him in the last five years was to a still undefeated Muhammad Mokaev, meaning that he has gone 8-1 in his last nine fights.
BradHOST
Okay, so what are we doing with
JackHOST
Loney? Horiguchi or Tatsu
BradHOST
Taira? Yeah, I'd rather the Taira.
BradHOST
I think you were spot on the first time, yeah.
John McCarthyGUEST
based upon the win that he had against kavanaugh what kavanaugh just did today yeah you know he's sitting in a good position you know and it's you know you already have the title fight it's going to be manal cop great you know but you know you're sitting where everyone knows look at his last fight who did he beat that he put a stop to you know someone who is really on fire right now and technically doing things that are impressive and is you know he's got a lot of other things you know first off i wonder kavanaugh's fast yeah i mean he's explosive fast and so that's always tough to get to deal with and stuff and you get a win against someone like him like we've all had you know that's that's saying a lot
Josh ThomsonHOST
you know there is a fight i'd like to see and it's only because i'm a big fan of him you know is kyoji horiguchi and kavanaugh
John McCarthyGUEST
I don't want to see that fight.
John McCarthyGUEST
Really? No, not anymore.
Josh ThomsonHOST
He's 24 or 25.
Josh ThomsonHOST

John McCarthyGUEST
Kyoji Horiguchi is?
Josh ThomsonHOST
I think he's 37.
BrightonHOST
Nah, this is Kavanaugh.
JadenHOST
Remember Horiguchi was beating Carpe until he went unconscious.
JadenHOST
He was winning that fight.

No, I didn't watch that fight.
35 MINS LATER

BrightonHOST
But I think...
BrightonHOST
Wait, if you scroll down to notable wins for a thing, Horiguchi, Royval, Ian McColl.
BrightonHOST
Yeah.
Farah HannounGUEST
They're like cringe and stuff.
Farah HannounGUEST
And I'm like, no guys, like he's, he's, yeah, he's building the fight up and he's, proves it with the way he fights like he can talk accidentally you fight the way like joshua van fights it's like you can allow him to talk a little bit of trash he wasn't crossing any crazy lines or whatever i didn't hate it like he's put a lot of interest and now he has a dance partner in manelka who's more than willing to engage in the trash talk and they've both done a very good job of building this fight up already um just even through social media and i can't wait until it gets to kind of like the the press conferences and stuff and cap, you know, on a nice win streak, the comeback finish from Horiguchi kind of like cemented him as the contender.
Farah HannounGUEST
No, I'm very excited about this.
Farah HannounGUEST
I'm excited about the buildup and I'm excited about the fight itself.
