Ultimate Fighting Championship

And, and I think it's...

The difficulty with this, guys, is the UFC is now in the game, right? And not to digress too much, because the ADCC is what we're talking about, but I believe that some of these notable missing people is in relation to, um, the UFC kind of saying to people, "Hey, don't do that.

We'll set you up as champion, and we're gonna pay you a lot more money."

Yeah.

Yeah.

And there is an ADCC.

So maybe for sustainability that makes sense, but you understand why, why, you know, Adele would not want to engage with that if the UFC's saying to her, "Hey, we'll give you, like, whatever-" Tens of thousands of dollars to be our champion

Yeah

... seems like he makes fun of them a lot and-

And wasn't Nate Bargatze at the UFC event, uh-

Yeah, yeah

... okay.

[laughs]

... at the United States Open? We're gonna catch up with our great right here, Lou Fitaccaro, gonna break down Noce UFC.

It's a new staple in the UFC.

Very, very popular, and get some NFL thoughts as well.

That's next right here at VSiN By the Books.

Of course, this is a special Friday.

Prayers and best wishes go out to all the families involved in the tragedy 25 years ago.

Uh, but we have fights and we have NFL, and so, uh, that's an exciting thing, but we do have to understand that much of the volume betting that goes on in the UFC is no longer there now that there is the distraction of football.

Not a real team.

Uh, Danny Brasco, w- first of all, what's up with New York? Also, what did you bring to the show today? Because I know we've always got UFC over on Paramount Plus, but there's something else that's really intriguing over on Paramount Plus, a pretty big boxing match, at least for me.

I think an entertaining boxing match at the very least, which is also on Paramount Plus.

Do you happen to have a play for that as well?

We got Conor Benn taking on Ryan Garcia, huge boxing fight.

I'm gonna have a spicy take on that one.

Of course, we got UFC fight noche.

Bangers of cards every time it's a noche.

We tried doing Sonic and Mario Olympics two months ago.

I thought I was in a UFC fight afterwards.

I'm like, I can't do motion controls anymore.

In the Treehouse presentation...

Right.

If you guys don't see it, UFC, I see them posting.

I see Rob posting.

Hey, we're going to UFC.

And I see that going to, like you said, National Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Like your company is doing so many amazing things and you guys are actually really doing a lot of good pushing of like, Hey, look what we do.

Before that, there you are in the heavyweight division, and there's a fight in the heavyweight division that is quite tantalising, should it ever happen.

And Dana White, the head of Zufa Boxing and the UFC president, had a chat with her own Adam Cattrall and Gareth A. Davis out in Vegas yesterday.

He was asked about this feud with Eddie Hearn over AJ Fury.

This is what he said.

it's hot in here there's no air conditioning no there's no AC in

France um He was a UFC fighter, and we were hooking up, and then one day I was like, do you want to get married? And he was like, yeah, are you serious? And I was like, yes.

He's from Greece.

And then we were – he was like, let's immediately get married.

Home run derby, yeah.

Like they, they're, and sometimes they're doing like one-off boxing day, boxing or UFC things or whatever on Netflix.

You see what, uh, at the desk she's, she's wearing, I thought she was wearing gloves cause it was cold, but I think it was a fashion look.

You know, Michael Jackson gloves.
