00:00Let's get into KO of the year with you.

00:05We have on our list, we have Elbin Espinosa versus Adam Piccolito on PFL 2 with that flying

00:09knee.

00:10We have Henning Ferreira against Ryan Bader in PFL versus Bellator to start the year with

00:14that great 21 second knockout by him.

00:16We have Masrov versus Groju in PFL Europe 1 with that 10 second head kick that was filthy,

00:22although very weird obviously situation the way that his opponent came out in that fight.

00:26We have Ali Walsh versus Stapleton with that overhand right of PFL 8.

00:30Or do you think it's Yakshamiradov over Kasangani with PFL 10 with that 58 second knockout in

00:35the first round?

00:36Yeah, I would give it to Yakshamiradov out of all those.

00:40I would also give a runner up to Musaev knocking out Umalatov, but listen, anytime you get

00:45a knockout to win a title against people that you are quote unquote not supposed to beat,

00:50you know, double Yakshamiradov was an underdog to Impa and he went out there and made it

00:53look relatively easy.

00:55And same thing with Musaev.

00:57I would give it to Yakshamiradov.

00:58I am very excited about his future.

00:59I hope the PFL uses him correctly.

01:02You know, if you he looks like a wrecking ball right now and he's got momentum, get

01:06him a big name fight.

01:08Let's show the world that he means business.

01:12Absolutely does.

01:13Can't wait to see what is in the card tournament 2025.

01:14How about fight of the year for us?

01:16Our nominees were Eblen versus Kasangani, PFL versus Bellator, that split decision win

01:21there.

01:22I know we've talked about you, how that could have gone, you know, probably either way on

01:24that one.

01:26We have Vassal versus Moldavsky was a good split decision at PFL4.

01:29We have Santos and Bishop split decision at PFL4 as well.

01:33Then there's other ones like Sabatello versus Deyron, which was the majority decision at

01:37PFL8 where we had those kind of weird things going on in that fight.

01:41Loughnane versus Kamaka the third at PFL9 or Hughes versus McKee at the PFL Super Fights

01:47pay per view.

01:48When you talk about fight of the year for me, that's either a crazy end of year knock

01:53at end of fight knockout or something that was super competitive.

01:57So I would go with Eblen and Impa.

01:59You have two of the top guys, you know, 205, 185 that went to a split, you know, split

02:03decision and Impa had Eblen on skate for a little bit.

02:07No one's been able to do that.

02:08So I would go with that.

02:10That was a great fight one that people should definitely go back and watch if they haven't

02:13watched it before.

02:14And we have just under a minute left.

02:16Best card of the year to you for the PFL.

02:18Was it PFL10 where we just crowned all the champions?

02:21Was it the battle of the giants pay per view?

02:23Was it PFL Europe 4 where we had all those great European titles that we just watched

02:27this past weekend?

02:28The first card of the year, PFL Bellator, we had the crossovers or maybe even PFL2 where

02:33we had a lot of finishes on that card.

02:36You know what?

02:37This is a, this is a tough question.

02:38Um, I loved the, look, the PFL championships, the thing that the PFL has a challenge with

02:44is that you're putting on six title fights that could all go potential 25, right?

02:48But it didn't happen.

02:49They were all knockouts.

02:50Even the lock name fight was fine.

02:52I'm going to go with the PFL championships.

02:54I think everyone who went out there performed and it was one of the better cards than any

03:00other card, any organization, PFL Europe.

03:02I will give a runner up because some of those knockouts were nasty.
