The MMA GuruHOST
He quit.
The MMA GuruHOST
How dare he tap in that locked-in submission he was put in? I get the esophagus thing with Holloway was a weird thing as well, but Holland is genuinely like, either looks like he's not trying when he's outmatched so he doesn't get KO'd, or he just gives himself an excuse like, oh, I'll lose to Wonderboy, but it'll be because I never shot a takedown.
The MMA GuruHOST
I can't trust a guy like that with predictions at the highest level.
The MMA GuruHOST
Reina Dorita's 18-2.
Michael BispingHOST
Sorry to interrupt.
Michael BispingHOST
Roman De Lidze, Stephen Thompson was a TKO as well.
Michael BispingHOST
I don't know if he's ever been to sleep.
Uros MedicGUEST
Yeah.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Taylor Hagman.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Put him Wonderboy on the prelims in his last fight in his home state as criminal.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Huge fan of his.
Brendan SchaubHOST
In fact, my favorite fight all time is him versus Kevin Holland.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Yeah, I don't know why they do that.
Brendan SchaubHOST
And he's a company man, too.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Like, Wonderboy's a fan favorite.
Brendan SchaubHOST
I don't know why they do that.
Denis ShkuratovHOST
Heavyweight title, Madison Square Garden, where Kayla and Amanda Nunes, all sorts of stuff.
Denis ShkuratovHOST
People saying goodbye, like Wonderboy Thompson.
Denis ShkuratovHOST
So there's so many narratives, so much on the line.
Denis ShkuratovHOST
And I can't wait to see you guys do your thing and cover it.
Alex TseHOST
yeah
Cameron OgleHOST
and you're like an inspiring you just imagine you're sparring wonderboy on a thursday afternoon you're by Wonderboy.
Cameron OgleHOST
And you're like, this guy is awesome.
Cameron OgleHOST
If he doesn't want you to touch him, you're not going to touch him.
Dean ThomasHOST
it's fun to watch.
Dean ThomasHOST
So Stephen Thompson taking on Charlie Radke, Chuck Buffalo.
Dean ThomasHOST
Have you talked to him? This is retirement.
Dean ThomasHOST
Is this the retirement fight?
Brendan SchaubHOST
Yep.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Wonderboy, Drew Dober, Chris Duncan.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Great fucking fight.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Jim Miller, Tence McKinney.
The MMA GuruHOST
And then you have Bilal Mohamed.
The MMA GuruHOST
And you think, yeah, you beat Wonderboy with your grappling.
The MMA GuruHOST
And you beat Gilbert Burns in a shitty fight over five rounds where both of you took it on short notice.
The MMA GuruHOST
And you beat Leon Edwards, right? Brady's a good win.
The MMA GuruHOST
It really can.
The MMA GuruHOST
And, you know, you saw Blau getting takedowns on guys like Stephen Thompson and Leon Edwards on the come up.
The MMA GuruHOST
But JDM was able to stuff that.
The MMA GuruHOST
Maybe it's because he's shorter and stockier and JDM does have really good takedown defense.
MatthewHOST
That kind of reminded
NoahHOST
me a lot of the Wonderboy fight with Buckley.
NoahHOST
I feel like Wonderboy's problem was that he was backing straight back into the fence, whereas that's when Buckley caught him.
NoahHOST
I think Malat did a much better job of... using lateral movement disadvantage when he's backing away.
NoahHOST
And obviously the high kicks too were a big advantage for Wonderboy.
NoahHOST
And in fact, it's arguable that Wonderboy was up two rounds, maybe even the third round as well before up to the knockout.
NoahHOST
And so that also was kind of playing into our vision of Mike Malott being you know, getting a decision as his best passive victory in this fight, because it's like Wonderboy kind of made that blueprint to beat Buckley, you know, by decision.
NoahHOST
I think Malat could easily replicate that.
