Jack SlackHOST
And he's also the, the only one from Team Alpha Male with moves that aren't the overhand on the feet.
Jack SlackHOST
Malcolm Wellmaker's loss to Tanz- uh, Tanzilovi, uh, that, that's the way it's being addressed.
Jack SlackHOST
I mean, it's also Tanzilovi's win.
Jack SlackHOST
I thought he did a great job.
Jack SlackHOST
The way he throws his, uh, his straight and then pauses a second and throws the high kick was sensational.
Jack SlackHOST
Um, I-- this was another one where I was watching and I was like, "Damn, Wellmaker really only has a right hand." 'Cause he's a southpaw a lot of the time.
Jack SlackHOST
He does switch, but he's, like, cutting the cage on Tanzilovi, and Tanzilovi's circling to Wellmaker's left, and Wellma- Wellmaker's jumping in with right hooks to the body.
Jack SlackHOST
The thing that he's moving in the same direction of, he did actually seem to hurt him off one of them, but, like, that is not a great way to cut the ca- Well, this is a, a perfect example because, like, he got a result from it, but it's still not the right thing to do.
Michael BispingHOST
As you said, burst on the scene, two quick first round knockouts.
Michael BispingHOST
He was the man, loses to Wellmaker, sadly then gets choked out to Diaz.
Michael BispingHOST
And then Saturday night, that guy was up against Otari Tanzilovic.
Paul FelderHOST
Good striker.
Michael BispingHOST
He's a really good striker.
Nick PeetHOST
Then the bounce back, gets choked out by Juan Diaz, but was looking good in that fight but made a mistake, got... gets choked out.
Nick PeetHOST
This fight on Saturday night as well, he's fighting Tanzilovi, who's mates with, uh, what's his name? Mirab.
Nick PeetHOST
So this is a bit of a prospect coming through.
Nick PeetHOST
He's obviously iron sharpens iron.
Nick PeetHOST
It's competitive.
Nick PeetHOST
He's on the front foot.
Nick PeetHOST
But then Tanzilovi just fucking slips walking straight onto that head kick, and as soon as he, as soon as he hit him, you knew he was o- he was out on his feet when he kind of stumbled backwards.
Adam CatterallHOST
Yeah.
speaker_0HOST
And right before that was another nasty head kick.
speaker_0HOST
And this one was done by Otari Tanzilovi as he would send Malcolm Wellmaker to the shadow realm and giving him the third consecutive loss of his career.
speaker_0HOST
Julius Walker got a second round ground and pound finish over Gerald Mirshart, who ultimately retired after this bout in what was his 60th professional MMA fight.
speaker_0HOST
And it was the first stoppage win for Walker in the UFC.
Luke ThomasHOST
Walker versus Mierschardt as the first fight on the main card.
Luke ThomasHOST
That has been flipped with what you see on the poster is the, the pre- the last fight on the prelims, namely Wellmaker versus, uh, Tanzilovi.
Luke ThomasHOST
So those have switched positions essentially.
Luke ThomasHOST
But the prelims kick off at 5:00 PM Eastern, and then we, we...
speaker_0HOST
That is a guaranteed banger in the featherweight division.
speaker_0HOST
Malcolm Wellmaker entering with his back against the wall is in a massive get right spot as he will take on Otari Tanzilovi.
speaker_0HOST
Wellmaker took the UFC by storm in 2025 because he got a first round knockout on the contender series in 2024, then began his debut year with two back-to-back first round knockouts.
speaker_0HOST
And immediately people were thinking that this could be a future bantamweight champion.
Big EHOST
I changed the background of these, uh, visuals here, and I threw the spinning GLP logo in there, so [laughs] hopefully it, it looks good.
Big EHOST
Um, he's fighting Otari Tanzilovi, uh, making his U- Oh, no, I'm sorry, his, his second fight in the UFC.
Big EHOST
He's 0 and 1.
Big EHOST
Uh, he's 10 and 2 overall as well, though.
Daniel VreelandHOST
You know, Ethan Ewing, cranking up that pressure is his thing.
Daniel VreelandHOST
I, I don't feel the same way for Tanzilovi.
Daniel VreelandHOST
I think he's either going to have to fight a fight that is not his fight, or he's going to have to play into Malcolm Wellmaker's hands, and for that reason, I kinda like Wellmaker here.
Jeff FoxHOST
All right, we're on the same side on that one, which is always good to see.
Austin SwaimHOST
Yeah, I can relate, I think, with how my 2026 is going.
Austin SwaimHOST
Malcolm Wellmaker taking on Otari Tanzilovi.
Austin SwaimHOST
Kind of feels like now or never for Wellmaker, bro.
Austin SwaimHOST
He, he moves out to American Top Team.
Matt TannerHOST
I-
Austin SwaimHOST
He gets a knockout here, he gets back on his way.
Austin SwaimHOST
But if he loses to Otari Tanzilovi, we got big, big time questions.
Austin SwaimHOST
So he's only minus 230, bro.
