00:00A little fight news for you.

00:01Reports are servicing that our guy Gilbert Burns is making his Octagon

00:07return at the yet to be officially announced UFC three 14 in Miami.

00:15Yeah.

00:17And the Cassandra or, uh, I got to assume it's going to be, because I don't even

00:21know where else they would put it.

00:22If it's going to be a Miami card, remember they did one in that was

00:26boxing though, and hard rock wasn't, didn't, uh, Canelo fight at hard rock.

00:32Oh yeah.

00:33They're not going to do it at the hard rock.

00:34They, they, they, they needed to be full around.

00:38UFC is not going to pull that.

00:40Um, but yeah, no, there's a lot of rumors out there.

00:42I mean, it hasn't been announced yet, but April is going to be, uh, is going to be

00:47UFC three 14 Gilbert Burns is going to be fighting Michael Morales, who is from

00:55Ecuador, 25 year old undefeated fighter.

00:58We got you, Gil.

00:59We're still backing your buddy, but Ecuador.

01:02Remember the last time it was a sugar shot O'Malley and Chito Vera.

01:06And the thing that was crazy about this, it was all of Ecuador basically came to

01:11this card and sugar shot O'Malley.

01:13Everybody was bowing them.

01:15So, I mean, listen, it started like that with, uh, Canelo and one gear.

01:21Yep.

01:22I couldn't like, I'm like, wow.

01:25So yeah, I think, I think April 12th is the rumor date.

01:28And I gotta tell you, it looks like we were doing some, uh, I was actually

01:32talking to this with, uh, I mean, you know, he, he will do nothing but badger

01:38me during the show for, for my crimes.

01:40But I was talking about this with stunt Steve yesterday and it kind of looks

01:46like Leroy based on process of elimination and some reports that

01:52fresh off his knockout of max Holloway will be main eventing, likely a

01:56rematch against the great Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight title.

02:01And that is going to be a fun fight because what he wanted

02:05to do was fight in Spain.

02:07But I guess there's like, I guess the Spanish stadiums are booked and they're

02:12not, they don't always says, oh, we're going to go to a stadium in Europe.

02:15It never happens.

02:16Never happens.

02:18They like doing arenas.

02:19They like doing America and they want to go to Miami because

02:21Miami will pay that money.

02:24And so they're going to basically give their young, bright, new, uh, shiny

02:27star against the legend and Alexander Volkanovski rematch.

02:31The last time he beat Volkanovski, Volkanovski took that fight on short

02:33notice, you can build it up.

02:36Mosby doll is going to be back on that card.

02:38Um, so I'm looking forward to it when they announce it, which they haven't.

02:44And I don't even know

02:45already.

02:45And now you pretty much just announced all the fighters in it.

02:48I am not reporting it though.

02:50I just have, I'm, I'm, I'm looking at some rumblings online and some speculation.

02:55And I'm like, look at all the fights that are all the champions who are, who are

02:58already fighting before this, this one, the only other one that would be, would

03:03be, I guess, but he doesn't really have, you know, that sexy of a matchup right

03:07now and John Jones, uh, the heavyweight title, but that's going to be in

03:10July if it happens at all.

03:12So I think it's going to be to pour it.

03:14And to pour his management team is down here too.

03:17You know, they're the first round guys.

03:18So, um, I, I think we're, I think we're getting that magic was the main event.

03:23That's what I think.

03:24Leroy Gilbert burns Jorge Mosby doll.

03:29Oh, it's okay for me to ask you about this.

03:31Just not hockey.

03:33Hey, ask me whatever you want, dude.

03:35Yeah.

03:36UFC is back.

03:37Uh, the pay-per-views are back next week.

03:41Is he right?

03:43Islam Makachev is going to be fighting.

03:46I thought it was, uh, these are, uh, these are the fights you got, uh,

03:50next, no, no, no.

03:51I think that's the next week.

03:52I think as a fight nightcard, he's doing next week is Islam

03:55Makachev and Arman Sarukhian.

03:57Uh, then in the co-main, you have the bantamweight title, Marad,

04:01the violence, Philly, and Umar Namaga, Madoff, who is a cousin.

04:08And then you have URI pro wrestler.

04:11Yes, just smaller.

04:15Uh, you're a pro Hoskyn, Jamal Hill, uh, but Neil Darusian had not done my

04:20Kano it's amazing how you get all these names, right?

04:24And then you say Jesper.

04:28I really thought I forgot.

04:28I was like, why did I, why did I say this?

04:30I'm just calling the yes, man.

04:31From now on.

04:33It's Jesper.

04:34It is.

04:35Yeah, it is.

04:37I told you we got Jesper part of it because it's golfer.

04:39So I knew it was Jesper anyway.

04:41So that's your fight talk for today, everybody.
