00:00Who are some of the guys you're looking for maybe in

00:02the other two fights there to possibly come out of that division and the Bashar the curry fight and

00:08The Burkham of versus Zendel any any of those guys you think could be

00:12Once you get a couple sneaky wins and make a name for themselves

00:17Bersakh of all baby, you know

00:19This is someone that kind of ran into that Lorenz Larkin knockout prior to that was a pretty solid prospect

00:25So there may be some room for him to grow there

00:26I think he'd be the one out of the names you mentioned that would have a chance to be a little bit of a sneaky

00:31Play moving on to the next round

00:33All right

00:33Let's move over now and check out some of these other brackets get some of the fights that you like the best or

00:37Some of the you know people you're looking out for to win something divisions

00:41I mean we were talking about experience you're talking about I kind of stacked matchups the women's 125 division right there had a bunch of

00:47Those talos Santos versus Velasquez right out of the gates two longtime vets and also in that side of the bracket

00:52When tabi and Jenna Bishop a lot of experience in the top half of that 125 bracket for the women I

00:59Think the dark horse there is gonna be want to Nabi and we saw against Liz car mood

01:03She had that fight one until eight seconds left where she got caught in our bar, you know

01:07I don't think anyone there

01:09Physicality wise can grapple with her in a dominant space

01:12So if she gets your arms around you you're in a lot of trouble and then outside of that look for Tyler Santos

01:18We know she has all the skills to be a champ

01:21She has all the skills to win this whole thing

01:23Again, Juliana Velasquez is dangerous because she's got nothing to lose

01:26But if Tyler comes in top Tyler Santos form

01:30She wins it, but I think want to Nabi is also a dark horse there. So keep an eye out

01:35She is definitely dangerous for sure. That should be a great division to watch throughout

01:39I think every one of those fights can be very exciting even just in the first round

01:42And some of these other divisions the heavyweights the big boys

01:45It seems to be a Russia verse everybody else in this one. You got something, you know, Tim Johnson

01:49We just saw fight Nemco

01:50But I mean if you're looking at you know

01:52Even before the matchups the guys that you were probably were the dangers were Popov

01:56Maldonavsky, you know Romanov, you know, we're getting a lot of the odds here ready to do battle for Russia in the heavyweight division

02:03Is there anybody that could upset them can vassal pull, you know?

02:06One last run out of out of his trunks here or is this gonna be rushes to win? Yeah

02:11Um, I don't I don't think the cells is got that

02:15Trick as you say to pull out anymore. I just think there's some other guys that are talent

02:20I think Alexander listen Alexander Romanov if his gas tank can hold up and he could dictate the narrative of a fight

02:26He could win this whole thing between size wrestling power skills

02:29I mean, listen, this is a guy who left the UFC as a free agent signed with the PFL. He didn't get released

02:34He's on a two-fight winning streak. He's got very good durability

02:37I think Maldonavsky is someone that'll probably the favorite to win

02:40You know if he wasn't injured last year, that was the case

02:42But Roman off in my opinion between size skill if that gas thing holds up and he comes in shape

02:48I think he gets it done

02:51That's always one of the biggest concerns with the big boys. They could swing. What can they last?

02:54We'll see how that one goes. Let's look at the lightweight. You got some names. We know obviously premise clay Collier

03:00Mark, yeah

03:01Diocese for now is a bunch of names, you know here and there sprinkled throughout

03:05Who do you like in this bracket? Who do you think can move on and get that belt? I

03:10I think this is God you were bought knobs to repeat right here. You know, I mean you're looking at some of these matchups

03:16I think everyone here is very talented

03:18Fighters and not having to now have that

03:22Urgency to get finishes for points it changes the game for someone like Brent premise

03:26I'm like Mads Burnell what we saw him due to clay Collard, you know, listen clay Collard's everyone's fan. He's a fan favorite

03:32He's got to keep the fight standing in order to win

03:34He gets too comfortable on his back, but God you were bought off in my opinion is the most complete fighter in this division

03:39We saw last season how he won by knockout twice. He's a grappler great cardio great their ability

03:45Unless someone pulls off a major upset. I don't see him not winning this whole thing again this year

03:50And then last but not least we have the 145 errs a lot of great names

03:54You got Bragh Alon do right out of the gates

03:56You got Pinedo Borch and you have Nathan Kelly kind of on the other end of that bracket who a lot of bluster

04:01But didn't have the performance that we hoped he would have in January in the Ireland Dagestan card

04:06Who are you looking forward to watching and maybe you know seeing that they can take this title at 145 and win this tournament

04:14Look, I my opinion all eyes are gonna be on Jesus Pinedo number one to make weight and if he's able to conquer that

04:20Can he do what he did last, you know, what two seasons ago?

04:25He once he wanted he was a huge talk of the town great knockout power

04:29Kind of came out of left field and showed us that he's never out of a fight

04:32We haven't seen him say so if he could make weight

04:35My eyes are on the him versus Adam Borich spike is my opinion the winner of that one

04:39We'll get a chance to get to the finals
