NoahHOST
A lot of times, you know, they say the young eat the old.
NoahHOST
It's, it's a famous saying from Paul Craig in his retirement fight.
NoahHOST
He's like, "In this sport, the young eat the old, and I'm the old." That's what he said in his retirement speech.
NoahHOST
And I'm like, dude, these guys that are 40, 41, whatever, they've been fighting for 20 years in the UFC.
Luke ThomasHOST
He must've been saying yes to a lot of stuff, and I think he's maybe, I don't know if surprise is the word, but maybe he's exceeded expectations to the matchmakers in a way, so they're kind of just like, "Hey, you got a hot hand.
Luke ThomasHOST
Let's ride it." Um, whereas with Brendan Allen, like you can see there, he fought Muniz, he fought Bruno Silva, he fought Paul Craig.
Luke ThomasHOST
He won all those via submission.
Luke ThomasHOST
Then he fights Chris Curtis.
Daniel VreelandHOST
I mean, we watched Brendan Allen what, take Renee de Rita into deep waters and, and deal with him there and, you know, ba- basically we've seen Brendan Allen willing to go to the ground with just about anybody.
Daniel VreelandHOST
Like, was it Paul Craig he, he dragged down and beat up on the mat too? Like, he wasn't afraid of grappling with Paul Craig, if I'm remembering right.
Daniel VreelandHOST
A- and, like, Br- Brendan Allen just is a really good grappler, and then you, you mentioned, you know, Christian Leroy Duncan has given up a lot of takedowns, and often he gets back up.
Daniel VreelandHOST
Sometimes he doesn't though.
Jeff FoxHOST
So Duncan really... gummy says hasn't beaten anyone good either so uh well kind of kind of okay i like out cannonier you know yeah um alan's experience obviously is is a higher level as well so i'll take the grappler here right now
Daniel VreelandHOST
yeah i'm gonna take brendan allen too and it's what you spelled out it's the grappling difference here i think is just too much i mean we watch brendan now and what take Rene DeReeder into deep waters and and deal with him there and you know basically we've seen Brendan Allen willing to go to the ground with just about anybody like was it Paul Craig he he dragged down and beat up on the mat too like he wasn't afraid of grappling with Paul Craig if I'm remembering right and like Brendan Allen just is a really good grappler and then you you mentioned you know he Christian Leroy Duncan has given up a lot of takedowns, and often he gets back up.
Daniel VreelandHOST
Sometimes he doesn't, though.
Daniel VreelandHOST
You know, Roman Delidze had almost, no, over seven minutes of control time against him in a 15-minute fight.
Sean SheehanHOST
Um, it's getting harder [laughs] to submit guys all the time.
Sean SheehanHOST
You know, he submitted Paul Craig, uh, back in 2023.
Sean SheehanHOST
That was the last time he submitted a guy, and it's weird.
Sean SheehanHOST
You know, he, he had, like, four or five in a row at that stage, and, you know, the game has, a- again, changed a little bit.
Paul ShaughnessyHOST
Boogie Beatdown coming at you.
Paul ShaughnessyHOST
Paul, Cody, UFC, Vegas 122, Allen versus Duncan.
Paul ShaughnessyHOST
Top to bottom, a loser leaves town.
Paul ShaughnessyHOST
We were just talking about it before we started the show here, and it's just like...
Cody SafticHOST
So I'm highly motivated to hit the big one, get back on track, put the bad times behind me.
Cody SafticHOST
But looking at this card, it's like, yeah, you got guys far more inconsistent than I am.
Cody SafticHOST
And like Paul had mentioned, you've got Gerald Muir shorts on a five fight losing streak.
Cody SafticHOST
Francisco Prado is on a four fight losing streak.
NoahHOST
I mean, he has a fair amount of submissions in the UFC, but none in, like, recent history.
NoahHOST
I mean, his last one was in 2023 against Paul Craig, but...
NoahHOST
I highly doubt Brent Allen will actually get two CLDs back or get a choke locked in in this fight.
NoahHOST
So it's like, can Brent Allen get a decision or can CLD find the chin? And honestly, just kind of speaking our thoughts out loud for this pod, I think I actually might have just swayed myself to CLD knockout, dude.
Sean SheehanHOST
And fighting at a level where he's fighting all the lads I mentioned.
Sean SheehanHOST
Plus, you know, Munez, Jotko, Paul Craig, Chris Curtis, people like that.
Sean SheehanHOST
That's a seriously solid record.
Sean SheehanHOST
So he's a seriously solid guy to fight if you're a guy like Christian Leroy Duncan on the way up, who's maybe the youngest 31-year-old in the UFC.
Nick PeetHOST
Do it, right, "Fuck it, let's jump you right to the top.
Nick PeetHOST
We're gonna put you in with..." I think he just had a great win over Paul Craig, by the way, so he probably deserves it.
Nick PeetHOST
"Let's put you in with Renato Moeda." And he comes alarmingly short against Moeda, who battered him and, and finished him with inside two rounds.
Adam CatterallHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jed MeshewHOST
Charles and Chandler was like, or two was like, I mean, it was really, it was only fun because Michael Chandler started cheating the most anyone's ever cheated in the fifth round and that made it fun.
Jed MeshewHOST
But then that was, that was Bo Nickel, Paul Craig, Viviani, Karine Silva, and the only boring Rizzo fight in the hoofy lawn top, which wasn't like boring, but it's, you know, that, that's my car was terrible.
Mike HeckHOST
Yeah.
Jed MeshewHOST
And then Joan Stipe is like, that's an all-time bad fight that people don't talk about as being a bad fight.
