Phil MackenzieHOST
Are you going to carry on going down something approximating a Joshua Vann route? Or are you going to be Steve Lasek? But yeah, the fight itself...
Phil MackenzieHOST
is one of the ones which actually suddenly really made me think how much Kavanaugh is a teammate of Nathaniel Wood.
Phil MackenzieHOST
I was suddenly thinking, like, my God, does this look a lot like what Nathaniel Wood does a lot of the time.
Phil MackenzieHOST
And, you know, that sort of pausing in mid-range, the... fainting where he's kind of he's fainting folding over his hip where he's you know pushing out the right hand as a feint but also as like you know we'll occasionally throw it as like a short chopping right hand and all the kind of tricks which play off that, I suddenly felt like, oh yeah, he does fight a lot like Nathaniel Wood, doesn't he?
Connor RuebuschHOST
That's a good call.
Phil MackenzieHOST
And yeah, that made this...
Phil MackenzieHOST
That made this a slightly different fight to the one I was expecting, because I was expecting it to have to be more around the sort of boar spear element, which was there to some extent.
Phil MackenzieHOST
You've got to hit the short guy down the middle, use your reach, straight strikes as he's coming in with big swinging hooks.
Jack SlackHOST
God, how did Pat Sabatini get ranked? Pavel Andruska at eight.
Jack SlackHOST
Oh, he beat Nathaniel Wood, didn't he? And Yusuf Zalal at nine, Valerjosa at ten.
Jack SlackHOST
So probably looking at John Silver for marketability and he's going to be like the most dangerous.
Jack SlackHOST
So I'm quite intrigued by that.
Aljamain SterlingHOST
And I thought Kavanaugh did a great job of that.
Aljamain SterlingHOST
He trains with Nathaniel Wood.
Aljamain SterlingHOST
That team over there is doing a really good job in the UK.
Aljamain SterlingHOST
You see how they work with their high guard.
SteveHOST
He's still got to be tested.
Aljamain SterlingHOST
who I thought was going to be coming in and doing some damage right away.
KevinHOST
Well, he lost to Nathaniel Wood.
KevinHOST
In
Farah HannounGUEST
But he did tell me in our interview, he's like, you know, everyone's talking about the takedowns and I have to take Keita down.
Farah HannounGUEST
He's like, you know, he lost to Nathaniel Wood on the feet.
Farah HannounGUEST
He kept reiterating that because I think a lot of people are like, you know, Bigel needs to watch to not get hit by Keita or he's going to be in trouble.
Farah HannounGUEST
So he basically has to wrestle, wrestle, wrestle.
Clint MacLeanHOST
They wanted Keita to come in against Pitbull.
Clint MacLeanHOST
And because he blew weight and that fight got canceled, they gave him Nathaniel Wood, who's notoriously hard to beat, and he won a split decision.
Clint MacLeanHOST
Keita got robbed a little bit in that one.
Clint MacLeanHOST
I remember telling people to live bet Nathaniel Wood.
Clint MacLeanHOST
Everybody was so furious about that fight at the end of it because they were convinced.
Clint MacLeanHOST
that Keita had won that fight, but Nathaniel Wood has this thing about winning split decisions.
Clint MacLeanHOST
He just always gets the nod in close split decisions.
Clint MacLeanHOST
So in the next fight, Keita came out and was like, no, no, no, we're not going to split decision, and he destroyed Mohammad Naimov.
Paul HughesGUEST
Again, Pico...
Paul HughesGUEST
Losing care, I lost to Nathaniel Wood.
Paul HughesGUEST
That's hard to let go of.
Kyle AndrewHOST
Hard to
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
Yeah, Keita's really athletic, interesting fighter.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
He came from Octagon, and his first fight, he shows up and he fights Nathaniel Wood to a split decision.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
At that point in time right then, I knew this kid here has it.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
Fast, quick, precise with his shots, got some power, game, willing.
Shane O'MacHOST
He's... wears it off pretty well um but he averages you know four strike four significant strikes per minute um where pico absorbs about the same like three you know they're three and a half right now i see in the ufc but i like keita's explosive i think that he could take to keep this standing up and i would i would definitely take him at plus money but i think it's going to be a close fight and i wouldn't surprise me at all if pico wins this fight
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
Yeah, Pico's going to have to get it to the ground.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
And Nathaniel Wood did get him down once or twice, but he wasn't able to hold him down, and that's going to be the key in this one.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
I will say this.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
Yeah, Keita's really an athletic, interesting fighter.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
He came from Octagon, and his first fight, he shows up and he fights Nathaniel Wood to a split decision.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
At that point in time right then, I knew this kid here has it.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
Fast, quick, precise with his shots, got some power, game, willing.
Shane O'MacHOST
But I think it's going to be a close fight, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Pico wins this fight.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
Yeah, Pico's going to have to get it to the ground.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
And Nathaniel Wood did get him down once or twice, but he wasn't able to hold him down, and that's going to be the key in this one.
Lou FinocchiaroGUEST
I will say this.
Clint MacLeanHOST
He's kind of.
Clint MacLeanHOST
one and one since he got over here took a big knockout loss bounced back in his recent fight Kida similarly one and one to start his UFC run uh lost a split decision that seemed like it was a tough way to start his career against Nathaniel Wood a very tough out for anybody and then really kind of showed everybody what he's capable of in his last fight with a massive knockout win I feel like you could make arguments for both sides of this fight, and so it's one that I don't have a great opinion on.
Clint MacLeanHOST
I'm not planning on betting this one, but can you help the people? What do you have?
Andrew BabakitisGUEST
yeah i mean let's just start with uh my absolute bias you know i've been um an aaron pico believer and i tend to kind of just um always try to root for the american uh you know freestyle wrestlers and sometimes it bites you in the ass when you see gable get knocked out and the victory lap and everything and you know pico got knocked out in his first fight but uh Yeah, this is an interesting one.
Andrew BabakitisGUEST
So that book is probably in a spot where they're needing Keita, unless they're kind of scalping themselves.
Andrew BabakitisGUEST
But yeah, interesting one.
Andrew BabakitisGUEST
Like you said, Keita lost to Nathaniel Woods, so...
Andrew BabakitisGUEST
I just have a hard time believing Pico is going to lose.
Daniel VreelandHOST
His only loss came with, like, a weird injury TKO in Octagon.
Daniel VreelandHOST
And was that Matasana Katidze? And then in the UFC, like, he lost that split decision to Nathaniel Wood.
Daniel VreelandHOST
I don't think he lost that decision to Nathaniel Wood.
Daniel VreelandHOST
Two judges gave him the second.
Daniel VreelandHOST
Two judges gave him the third.
