Jeff FoxHOST
yeah we got it out we had odds too when we did um so yeah everyone's hitting up gumby for his takes which is what the comments are for youtube spotify that's right our discord of course sports government podcast.com so yeah It's okay, we won't hold this against you, Otzkan, this one time.
Jeff FoxHOST
Just don't become a PFL that does this every week, and then we'll be fine.
Jeff FoxHOST
But we will forgive you.
Jeff FoxHOST
All right, lots of fights to break down, so let's dive into it after a reminder.
Cody SafticHOST
Yeah, I think that's the bottom line is that we're fight fans.
Cody SafticHOST
We watch, if there wasn't a UFC on, you'd be watching CFFC or LFA or UAE warriors or PFL or whatever it is that we'd be watching it anyway.
Cody SafticHOST
So yeah, I saw Dana Whitefield in questions at the press conference and the one little reporter guy barely spoke English, let's be real.
Cody SafticHOST
And he's like, oh, the quality of the show.

Paul ShaughnessyHOST
I had taped, you know, for, like, FCR, Bergen, a whole bunch.
Paul ShaughnessyHOST
Made a bunch of money on Donchenko in that first fight.
Paul ShaughnessyHOST
Obviously, the line was... pretty wide but you know opened he opened wider so you know people talked themselves into theodore bergen he was a guy i was not very impressed with in fcr yeah i wasn't very impressed with him in cage warriors i really never thought i thought he was gonna end up being the type of guy that um That gets signed by PFL Europe or something.
Paul ShaughnessyHOST
Then gets his head bounced a couple times in PFL Europe and then ends up back on FCR.
Ian O'NeillHOST
He was losing to high-level fighters at the same time.
Ian O'NeillHOST
He did kind of snap that losing streak, like you said, with the two-fight win streak, obviously picking up his last win in PFL.
Ian O'NeillHOST
So I would imagine he's going to dust himself down, go back at it again, and rightfully so as well.
Ian O'NeillHOST
You know, kind of looking to wrap up or look back at the action before we move to Fofo Farris' fight.
Sean O'MalleyGUEST
I don't understand the different like that's like UFC fighting Bellator.
Sean O'MalleyGUEST
And then they're fighting PFL, like the different belts.
Sean O'MalleyGUEST
And like, I don't fucking get boxing at all.
Sean O'MalleyGUEST
I've never understood it.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
Prior to that, we're going to be joined by Dakota Ditcheva.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
Going to talk to her about her hands, about Liz losing to Jenna Bishop, the new era starting in 2027, the MVP taking over PFL.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
And prior to that, in about 30 minutes time, the great John Kavanagh of SBG going to join us.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
And I do believe his first interview since the McGregor-Holloway fight, he's got some news to share as well.
37 MINS LATER
John KavanaghGUEST
I see it adding to the pie, which helps gym owners, helps fighters, and ultimately helps the sport grow.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
Couldn't agree more.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
I love the fact that the fighters have more options and hopefully with MVP and PFL coming together, obviously UFC is still the UFC, the best in the business and key, not to mention the rise of Ryzen and Octagon, KSW, Cage Warrior is still out there, of course, in England and Ireland.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
I am curious, though.
Sean SheehanHOST
Give me like 40 seconds at the start of the podcast to not do that and then the rest of the podcast will be that.
Sean SheehanHOST
Because I feel like I like to do that with PFL covering him for a few years.
Sean SheehanHOST
You know, even like with one championship and others.
Sean SheehanHOST
You can always find the good in the card.
Luke ThomasGUEST
The reason why this is hard is not that there are not some interesting questions around him for the most part.
Luke ThomasGUEST
It is that if you have followed his arc, you know, and we recall him fighting on NBC Sports for World Series of Fighting and the Luis Palomino Wars and then getting to the UFC and then winning a bunch, but then losing to Poirier, losing to Alvarez, getting back on the horse, and then losing at various times.
Luke ThomasGUEST
And we've seen it to Habib, to Charles, blah, blah, blah, you name it.
Luke ThomasGUEST
You know, and then he finally breaks through.
John MorganHOST
I mean, I was just thinking they did have Magomed Magomed Karimov on this last one.
John MorganHOST
I don't know if he's still with PFL right now.
John MorganHOST
Is he out of contract? I don't know.
John MorganHOST
He hasn't fought for them since.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
Armin did step on Dylan, and that did lead to a fracas building up, but they were on top of it, and it was diffused rather quickly.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
If they can't do UFC versus UFC, which they can't, and they can't do UFC versus PFL, which I think they can, the well is going to get very dry very soon.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
There's only so many times you could do Hamzat versus former UFC fighter, Armand versus former UFC fighter, Hamzat versus non-UFC fighter, non-PFL fighter.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
He's going to annihilate these guys, and Armin is as well.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
Yes, I know he lost to Colby, but there aren't that many of those guys out there.
Brendan SchaubHOST
I know his deal, yeah, end of this month, it expires.
Brendan SchaubHOST
The undefeated lightweight has completed his PFL contract.
Brendan SchaubHOST
His next move will finally take big stage in MMA.
Brendan SchaubHOST
