Malcolm Wellmaker

I can't imagine being an athlete and in particular a fighter in the year 2026 and beyond when you go out there and you lay it out on the line and you get knocked out and now people are clowning you and you have to read that shit and it fucks with your brain.

I mean, look at Malcolm Wellmaker.

Perfect example.

Malcolm Wellmaker I see yesterday go on social media and it almost feels like Look, he said, I had a rough time.

This is the post that he put out.

After taking some time to letting things settle and gathering my thoughts, I have to be honest, this shit still really hurts.

In fact, it is an entire main card.

Lonnie Kavanaugh, is he going to... go the way of Malcolm Wellmaker? Or is he going to bounce back? Well, at least he's getting a much softer touch than he has in Ramazan Temirov, still by no means a layup.

We have a real meaningful heavyweight fight, albeit probably not a very exciting one, between Alexander Volkov and Rizvan Kuniev.

We also have in the main card opener, In my mind, a perfect main card opener kind of bout.

Buckley had a great start in the UFC, and he seemed like he was going to be the next big thing, but now he seems to be at a crossroads.

Same thing with Malcolm Wellmaker and Patchy Mix, just to name a couple.

What causes some fighters to fall off so suddenly from all of the potential they showed in the beginning? I don't know.

Maybe the competition gets tougher.

Yep.

Found out Farid and Wellmaker are training partners.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I didn't know that either.

and uh for burial shit gives him another win another bonus four in a row we'll see if he can keep that up after uh after you know keep that up on his next fight so uh good stuff there from mark andre burial after bow lost to rdr he got fraud checked i don't know man it's one loss um Uh, but you know, uh, I mean, RDR and I mean, I guess when you look at, I guess when you look at RDR and what he's done, you know, it's not.

also Bo doesn't you know I don't know I think a lot of people get rubbed the wrong way because of Bo being as uh as as overly confident as he is he's kind of cocky um so I mean don't get me wrong I it's not that I took you know it's not that I was offended by the fact that he lost or anything like that it's just it's one loss I think so I I don't know that I don't like the fraud check thing after one fucking loss it's like you know just like uh uh Gautier just lost, you know, after a couple good wins.

Wellmaker, I can understand now because he's got more losses than wins after that beginning.

And there was so much hype around him.

Okay.

Kozlo versus Wellmaker because that's what we keep him around for.

Oh.

How do you line that right now, Mike?

Wow.

I'd probably favor Wellmaker like minus 140.

Okay.

Okay.

[laughs]

What, uh, what, what happened to your boy Malcolm Wellmaker?

Oh, man.

Like I said, he, he'd be fine.

He's good.

The Georgian strikers, bro, they come out of nowhere.

But we said it, it was after the first loss with Malcolm Wellmaker for us.

Yeah.

I hope you're right, man.

Carlos, is Mallet winning by a finish or decision? Be what you think.

I'll say finish if he doesn't get starts in the first round.

Black Ross, I don't see Joe getting a KO, but he could easily get the win.

I believe it was a pay-per-view, if I'm not mistaken.

And I was like, "This guy's resume sucks." Like, even for like a Contender Series guy, I was like, "What are we doing?" And then he comes out and he's actually surprisingly competitive with Cameron Saimon, who by the way, I think I can call it after the Malcolm Wellmaker fight, Saimon's gotta be one of the biggest fraud prospects of all time, dude.

Yeah.

Like, I mean, we thought that guy legitimately...
