UFC 310 Breakdown: Alexandre Pantoja vs Kai Asakura & Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Ian Machado Garry

“I'm definitely rolling with Bryan Battle I was just looking at uh Alexander Volkov is 38 and 10 all right Jesus how many how can you do that many crazy who who is his best friend that he beat in his last fight a that was so sad all his or is NOT_IN_ROSTER_18 dude the UFC was so bad for that they shouldn't have made that fight that was wrong with them they didn't want to fight each other they training Partners really good friends and they were about to fight each other after the fight well pav wanted to fight cuz I get because it kind of just like you ruined your training partner's dreams and it's it's one of those fights where you normally only want to do that if it's for the ti you don't want to do that on the way up sad reality of it but you know is but yeah Ro covers a lot of mileage so let's hope with G's limited mileage he goes in there and just runs him over no no you know no offense wov no G doesn't fight that often though apparent well I saw him get interview by Ariel and he was saying that he was meant to fight soon after he fought in September but then obviously had the obligation of I think he's recorded a Netflix film or something yeah which shout out him there's a lot of people that criticized it listen man these MMA fighters don't always get paid the great go secure the bags if other ones come so he went in there he secured the bag and then now he's about to F again so I think now he's determined with the short window that he's got to like maximize it so let's hope that he lives up to the potential that he has and I don't think he's going to need to show Too Much grappling in this one anyway like I don't think that's going to be Factor against NOT_IN_ROSTER_17 I think he might pull it out like later in the rounds just to flex a bit and mix it up but let's let's hope we see what he's been learning I like NOT_IN_ROSTER_17 I think whoever is handling him should not have taken this rematch I think he's got another a choice I don't think G's in that weird position where you're high in the rankings but because of the way he lost to Jon Jones it's almost like you lost to J Jones and he lost to Francis I think they're scared to give him one more tile shot because if he loses again it looks awkward but I also still do believe that the USC have High Hopes in him so let's hope that he gets through this fight NOT_IN_ROSTER_17 I'm sorry it had to be you and we should hopefully get Bryan Battle verse the winner of aspal vers Jones if he happens it needs to happen I don't think it happens do you they will I'm sorry they will have to strip Jones they have to strip Jones if he doesn't take this fight that and Jones can go fight Pereira if he wants to fight PR let him have the money fight with PR oh he he said that he's saying he he recently said he's down with uh relinquishing the belt before he announces his retirement I don't I I'm I'm happy with that I I just want the division to move forward with itself in general whether it be Jones or not if Aspen has to face G then so be it but yeah just hurry up and get over with definely or give or give Jones the big money contract deserves yeah pay him like he should yeah for sure pay him whatever he wants you guys make billions off of this exactly that all right so the fight that I'm most interested in I think this fight should be a five round fight if not co-main a main event somewhere else at least at the Apex we have NOT_IN_ROSTER_19 evlo versus Aljamain Sterling in a three round fight on the prelims who do you have in this one the disrespect but I am going with my main guy that I've been going with for a long time so I guess it's until the W fall off Sterling let's go Funk Master let's go Funk he got screwed over the Sha Ali situation he took it in his grace he done for me when people chish about the K Al thought was a fantastic performance from Al oh he dominated Al thought was a fantastic performance from Aline Calvin was in there to survive and not win and Al can only you know you can only fight someone that wants to fight you so this will be an interesting fact because for NOT_IN_ROSTER_20 uh I always mess up how you pronounce this name just m NOT_IN_ROSTER_21 for NOT_IN_ROSTER_21 he's been a weird Enigma 145 of people have avoided him but we also don't know how how good he is and with Aljamain Sterling I also think he knows he's on borrowed time where he's getting older and is now or never to go for that 145 belt so I want him to at least get the title shot I think Torri would win but I at least want him to to try for double champ stairs and I feel like this is the very best fight in the division and if he beats Moosa uh MOA he's the number one Contender after NOT_IN_ROSTER_24 well after they clear up the traffic at 145 what say you yeah I think whoever wins this fight is definitely the number one Contender I think ahead of uh either NOT_IN_ROSTER_26 Lopez or uh NOT_IN_ROSTER_25 um I'd like to see wowski get a win yeah go out there and fight it's an awkward one because I get I understand the UFC's part of V where it's just like you have being a pound-for-pound guy you've done the company a solid on so many times so their thing is like let him get a rematch with Dominick Reyes on the other hand after two Knockouts it is kind of like I wouldn't even mind if they gave vult an easier fight I'm saying if they gave vult someone low in the rankings just to put showcase fight on and then face Dominick Reyes I'd be happy with that but yeah V coming off the two losses especially with NOT_IN_ROSTER_26 Lopez coming off the impressive win that he has it's kind of causing a log Jam and then you know he tried to like have his tile F in Australia and it's just like no you're not like you're not aside in this no more to PO is so I I just after this Sterling versus m of fight I just want the UFC to clear up the L Jam that's there I'm sure if Sterling wins they'll have him behind NOT_IN_ROSTER_24 just CU he's a fresher guy so I just hope that they can clear up the division after that but yeah is this so much weight that might be a potential for Sterling so he might actually have to have a fight after this if he does win yeah I think well they've kind of already been like NOT_IN_ROSTER_26's the guy he's the backup Fighter for the last fight so it's kind of hard to to Jump Ahead yeah I personally feel like whoever wins this fight is the tough fight for NOT_IN_ROSTER_31 all right I think Dominick Reyes I think NOT_IN_ROSTER_31 kind of clears everybody and I honestly think I think he does pretty well against NOT_IN_ROSTER_22 not sure how he does against msar um this fight's gonna tell me a lot I was watching uh EV Loya fight Nick Lin and Nick Lin was just was locking in G gutin after Guillotine he kept mobar kept allowing himself to get in these bad positions he wel welcoming the grappling exchanges because he just had this confidence that he could sweep he had this confidence that that lince wouldn't choke him out it was kind of the same with NOT_IN_ROSTER_26 Lopez he was allowing for these grappling exchanges I think that is gonna be the key for Aljamain Sterling is's gonna take his back yeah right oh for sure and I don't know Alo he won't guess out going for a submission he'll just keep position all right if you want to give me that submission we can stay here my only thing of Alo I want this fight give us more ground and pound he's very good at securing position but he'll like look for the submission for too long and sometimes I'm watching it that Alo just punch him there's no need secure the position and punch I think the second fight with uh Yan and then a little bit TJ he did some grounding first time I've seen him that in a long time of like grappling go in there secure the position and just punch them up like I got yeah and he does and I feel like because of the pressure of like how everyone was just hating him for no reason he wanted to go in there and get the sub whereas now I'm just like listen man just get the win ground and pound or dominant win but just make it yeah just put emphasis on it yeah I think so I think msar is striking in here I think his striking is very slick all right I love his standup I think alj Jo's kind of wild with his striking he is uh but M sorry I feel like the way he handled uh NOT_IN_ROSTER_23 I'm a big Arnold Allen fan I love Arnold Allen but I felt like he feel like he whooped that boy from from start to finish all right and and it was not just like oh I'm gonna take him down and hold him he beat NOT_IN_ROSTER_23 in the standup and I thought that was amazing all right he looked great I think he's a better Striker than NOT_IN_ROSTER_22 and dude this is honestly a 5050 I'm rooting for Aljamain Sterling but dude this is a tough mountain to climb for NOT_IN_ROSTER_22 I'll tell you that much I think this is like you said this is why I mention number one contenders fact this is the real like Bryan Battle of the uprising star and you know a bur champ ex champ looking to become Champion against so this perfect matchup it's a shame that's on prelims for I'm not even going to cifi that managed to make it to the main card but I don't mind it I'm I'm I'm watching from the UK so I get to at least watch a great fight earlier than when the main call starts at 3:00 a.m. in the morning so I'm I'm happy with that yeah and I'm I'm here in the states I gotta work third shift so I gotta get up at some point to watch this fight then take a nap before I go oh fair fair yeah yeah NS but yeah so I man I don't know if I picked I'm Gonna Roll with NOT_IN_ROSTER_22 man that's my boy it's team Alo Man team Alo all day uh it's where it has to be uh any other fights you wanna uh just you think about or you just wna just thankful that NOT_IN_ROSTER_32 isn't fighting on this card because I hope he gets and I am if you and anyone that knows me knows I'm an old school NOT_IN_ROSTER_32 army guy but there was worrying footage of him that you know got aired out before and I just hope he gets the help that he needs and there's I think Randy Brown vers Brian Bryan Battle should be a good fight and then I'm also intrigued to see how Dominic Reyes does as well what about you yeah the Dominick Reyes Anthony Smith I think Dominick Reyes should be able to whoop that ass I don't I don't think Anthony Smith has the power to not re no I don't even know Annie Smith is just I'm surprised he's still still going running down his contract because I don't he's been through so it's so Topsy Turvy with him dude when I look at this card though I honestly feel like this card is stacked all right is a is a is a creeper it's not like a outstandingly stacked but for those in the know like this is actually play gu versus Chase Hooper Ho's been looking great lately the fact that NOT_IN_ROSTER_29 is still at it is yeah the funniest I got into this sport in0 38 and 24 Jesus listen man I got into the sport in 08 when NOT_IN_ROSTER_29 was facing Roger qua yeah and now he's still here how many years later are facing Chase Hooper hoop like sh guy man yeah shout out to Guida then you got Michael Chiesa versus max Griffin I think that's a great fight R for kso for that one hopefully he does he does it that's my guy Chris Weidman uh Eryk Anders rescheduled that fight no comment but then you know NOT_IN_ROSTER_27 and NOT_IN_ROSTER_28 that's an interesting fight I think this is a really good card it's a a very decent watch nice end of the year I think nice contingency from obviously what was planned before so hopefully end the year on a bang and is a good call all for out well we're going to end the year on a banger with my boy NOT_IN_ROSTER_34 raising his hand you know oh we're gonna end on a good note oh my go I don't even no comment man love me some NOT_IN_ROSTER_34 and he's gonna whoop NOT_IN_ROSTER_33 on the 14 the Bryan Battle of the trolls man you ever wins that's going to be the troll so oh yeah oh yeah I love it more than bragging right for that for that fight indeed it is but that's all we got for UFC 310 ladies and gentlemen thank you so much for being here I'm your boy Germaine Ray and uh we'll see you guys next time peace”

“I'm going with NOT_IN_ROSTER_1 with the decision as well uh yeah Kai's gotta catch him early he's gotta catch him early and if Pento is able to get him down and stall him out work that game he's strug if he even tries to get back up I think he could keep him down for like it'll be the round three and it's just like wow he's got about 10 minutes of control time all right and this is just what the fight is gonna look like so yeah I'm definitely rolling with panoa to get it done by decision for sure if not submission I feel like he has just the allaround advantage I this is a big opportunity for him to like really go for it and you know prove the doubt was wrong so let's go definitely I think this is his when else is he gonna get a main event all right that would never happen if if we didn't lose the fight trust him to and I don't this is Harsh I don't blame the UFC because the history of the flyweight division has shown that they a struggle to headline so being putting them in co-headline situations has being the best solution but like we said we hope that end of year card he goes in there with the aim of I'm going to P an exciting fight because he's got his TI defenses in he's really you could say he's laed the division so he might as well put ack on top and make this an exciting fight so let's hope so's let's do it”
