That debate between Jed and NY about the BMF is the best I've ever seen on the show. Side note if Jed and NY had an MMA podcast together 🧨🔥
I would pay my life savings to see Pereira boop Jed Cashew
Jamall hill might oblige to that if he sees this episode 😂
Justin was a wreck at that point in the fight. That takes some away from me. Leon KOing Usman for the belt was bigger imo.
JED is right, Leon Edwards’s KO is SIGNIFICANTLY more iconic than max’s and that’s the first one I came up with in recent years
Masvidal Askren. Not so significant as it wasn't a championship, but in terms of the KO itself it's maybe the most crazy thing I've ever seen, and it made Masvidal a PPV points fighter, an absolute star.
I agree. Leon's KO is a lot more significant, title fight, lose to Usman before, was losing the fight before the KO, etc etc. That would be like if Justin KOed Max instead at that moment, He was losing the fight and Max has never been KOed before.
More significant but not as cool imo
42:12 leave it to Jed to party poop!! Contrarian for no reasonn
Jed was wrong about the risk but right about everything else. People get caught up in the moment, recency bias, happens all the time. It was a top 10 KO and a great moment for the event, for Max's career and story. It's particularly special as we haven't seen Max finish someone like that, so to do that to Justin at 155 in that sequence was incredibly cool. But we've seen better KOs with more stakes. Masvidals KO of Ben Askren is just 20 times more incredible and viral.
He was right about everything. Taporia said it best on MMAH he said the fight wasn't impressive until the end which just became a bar fight.
Let’s all take a moment to be grateful we were alive to witness UFC 300. There are many fans who didn’t make it this far.
NY Ric dude is like I don’t care what anyone else thinks this is what I want so everyone must feel the same way. The BMF belts not going anywhere. Shits crazy.
I don't trust anyone who doesn't think NYRick is pure class.
@@langtryvlogme I don’t care, trust the guy that thinks no one else’s opinions but his matter.
He’s a clown
If max defends the belt he will max millions
@@nicholaswatts3169 without a doubt, they just have to make sure that just like Jed was saying, as long as it’s someone deserving of being labeled as a BMF who they know the fans would approve to have that label.
I knew all along hill cant compete with periera
BMF is not a division. It's only for certain fighters. It doesn't need to be defended. You could have two totally different fighters other than Max fight next month for a BMF title.
The bmf belt is not like other belts so Max can risk it relatively. Then that 300k bonus required that last 10s of coolness and that KO
Downplaying the max ko is ridiculous
Poatan is on a revenge tour for Glover 😂. He's out there knocking out Jiri and Jamahal to avenge those losses. He is VENGEANCE.
Jon Jones also beat Glover… imagine that happens 👀👀
Thank the lord Rick ain’t a match maker.. this guy would would turn hardcore fans to casuals so fast
Great job , 2 thumbs up! #keepAKaway
I do believe with how big of a name geathje is at lightweight he is always 1 fight a way from a title shot, the fight to make is geathje vs oliviera, most of the younger generation don't deserve to fight the old guard again just yet they got their chances and all failed (gamrot is so boring and lost to beniel , fielziv lost to geathje , and the french guy who poirier killed) and Turner can't put 2 wins together , the only guy who succeeded so far against the old guard is arman.
So it's geathje vs oliviera and if geathje wins depending on the timing he could get 1 last title shot, and for the sake of his health and legacy I think geathje should look for 3 more fight before retirement (oliviera, title shot, poirier 3) and than retire, the conor fight isn't Interesting to me any more they are old now(slower, less athletic , less durable) , 3 years ago it could have been interesting but now no.
but to be honest geathje's last 3 fights make me thinks he isn't at his prime anymore, his chin is certainly not what it used to be 4 years ago, everytime anybody hits him clean with anything he gets wobbled or dropped.
He is 35 now which is old for a lightweight and when you add to that all the wars he is been in, I think this was the worst geathje I ever saw, I also think he lost a little of speed and explosivity in the last 2 years.
Go back and watch his early fights and just focus on his speed and movements you will notice slight difference.
Not saying that at 35 he had zero chance against max, he definitely had a chance if he had used the jab more and used a more durty fighting style like he did in many of his previous fights like he did against barboza for exemple, he was shoting fake take dawns to grab barboza to get close to him and stop his movements and than punching him from close range, he also used to do a lot of grabbing the back of his opponents head with his left hand and than hitting them with his right (that's how he rocked barboza, and the only time he used it against max he dropped max in the 4th), hitting Max's body would gave help him too as well in many ways more so than his leg kicks that didn't do anything.
Instead geathje tried to play a long range kick boxing fight with max even tho he was losing that type of fighting he kept doing it even when Trevor was telling him to put pressure on max instead and walk forward and push him against the cage he almost never did that. That's one of the only time I saw geathje not listen to Trevor instructions completely.
Anyway max holloway was just better on that battle, better game plan, better strategy, better combination......
Plus conor ducked geathje many times when he was in his prime, if now that geathje is old and clearly not at his peak anymore and conor like a weasel propos to fight him (because he finally has the courage to fight an old geathje ) than geathje should be smart and refuse and ignore him. Be a honorable warrior don't be like all the other pathetic fighters thirsty for the conor fight at the point they are weakling to get disrespected.
if geathje is still the man of honor and character he always was he won't accept that fight, he isn't a puppet the ufc or conor can tell what to do and when to fight .
Geathje already has money a great legacy, a fight with conor without the belt isn't going to give him any more money than any other fight or any more legacy, because conor is wash up and lost to so many people that beating him isn't special anymore...
A lil far back but Moicano and Benoit could be a banger n gives Moicano a chance up the rankings. There actually is a route for Justin to get a title shot. Get one win n then if Dustin gets the belt he’ll have a win over him so they can fight next. Ik it’s gonna be hard for Dustin to get the belt but it’s the best chance for Gaethje
I will agree with jed on the "I dear to be great" nonsense and the excuses hill made after all the trash talk he did before the fight, he thought he was going to run over alex, he was wrong alex killed him now he should move on.
And jed bring up how geathje reacted to his lose to debunk the fake notions that fighters always bring excuses after their fight like new york Ric try to make.
But I will half disagree with jed on max not taking risk in the last 10 second, max definitely took a huge Risk doing what he did in the last 10 seconds against geathje, he could have been hurt or even dropped again like in the 4th.
I said I half desagree with jed but not completely because even if max would have been hurt again in the last 10 seconds of the fight knowing how great of a chin max has he wasn't going to get ko cold, and so he would have won the decision regardless, unlike geathje who is been hurt before many times every time anything was landing clean in him and who's ability to take shots is been looking worst and worst after every fight since his last 3.
I saw enough time max take punches from many massive punchers in the past without getting hurt taking flying knees to his chin clean like they where nothing , high kicks shin to his chin or the back of his head without showing any reactions to know that geathje koing him cold was very unlikely, maybe if max is 39 years old and still fighting it could happen but not now at 32.
Having a great chin is a crazy advantage in fighting Look at rumble johnson for example the guy was a 170er who could take punches from heavyweights like they where nothing and had the power to ko heavyweight, and rumble was never dropped in his life until his last fight at bellator when he was 39 years old at 205 and he still recovered and won the fight. bj penn is a nother guy who's chin was so great that fighting heavyweight against lyoto was never hutmrt on the feet, even tho bj penn is actually a natural 145er.
But anyway about the geathje vs max, After the 3rd round when max was in his corner max straight up say to his coaches " the guy has the hardest left hook I ever took" and in the next round the 4th max gets dropped by geathje for the first time in his whole career, so geathje even hurt definitely has enough power to hurt max if he landed clean, so max doing what he did was still very impressive.....
In his post fight interview max said other funny stuff like saying "geathje hits so hard even the wind was hurting me, he is like a titan, I don't know what he is made of, he is like a titan".
i find it intresting how most of the people that got hit by geathje all immediately says he was the hardest puncher they ever fought like - khabib, oliviera, max.
...
Rest those thunder thumbs big guy. 😅
Why not Cyril Gane vs. Pereira?
If Holloway fights tiporia, BMF should not be on the line, because while tiporia may be the division champ, he doesn't have the BMF resume.
All belts should be on the line cause that's what bad mfers do. You want to be the baddest mfer put yo belt up. 2 belts on the line plus loser leaves the UFC!!!!!
Alex Periera was only wanted to go up to HW cause he is PISSED he cant go in Rio. I think he is nervous of Magomed Ankalev. Magomed would be unbeaten in 13 fights if Paul Craig didnt steal it with 1 seconds to go. Max has more power at LW. I think he is being stubborn cause Alex Volkanovski finally lost. Alex will likely get the rematch cause he had 5 defenses. I dont believe Conor is back till the cage door slam shuts. DC and Uncle Chael had more details on Mondays podcast about this. Chandler signed at 299, according to Uncle Chael. Conor hasnt signed due to details in the fight not worked out. Conor wants 3 rounds. Chandler wants 5 rounds. There is no guaratnee its the main event for 303. Everybody was jumping for joy when Dana briskly told us the fights the way he did. That was the WEIRDEST way to announce a Conor McGregor fight I have ever seen in my life.
Super absurd take from Ric. Wow.
Max vs Topuria at 155 no title but championship money. Ppv points for both.
I think it's silly of Jed to claim Max wasn't taking a risk when he decided to throw down in the middle with Gathje in the final seconds. Even a rocked, weathered Justin Gathje can absolutely put your lights out.
The only round most people agree gaethje won was the 4th, where he became the first person to knock down max (stats didn't count it, but Max considered it a knockdown). Anyone saying Gaethje wasn't dangerous anymore is an idiot
It almost like Gaethje's heart wasn't in it and wasn't ready for it though. He'd already been broken and he barely got 3 swings off without one of them have any belief or conviction behind them.
Really happy for Max.
Boop! Merch coming soon!
41:35 Great point by New York Ric ... There is always risk in high-level MMA as enumerated by Jed (!!) with examples. Btw, Yair's knock-out was a fluke event: I would put Anderson's front-kick to Vitor way above it.
Yair's Ko was not a fluke event. In the exchange right before the KO with 0:20 left on the clock, Yair ducks under in exactly the same way measuring zombie for the elbow, then next exchange throws it...
shocked someone let heck breed them
I agree with Jed on the Max ko talk
Ya me too and I agree with Taporias take that thr fight wasn't really impressive until the end which became just a bar fight.
If Max ko was a spinning wheel kick would that make it the best ever..lol
We would’ve saw it coming
for whatever reason when Jaylen Turner is on a card.That card is amazing
Dude with the backwards hat has the worst takes I’ve ever heard
I love BTL, but you guys rambled so long about the meaning or ranking of the Max knockout.... a great man once said: 'It is what it is'.
I am absolutely enthralled listening to their long Max breakdown. It's such good content. Every point they make is so valid and important. Not rambling.
The Anthony Joshua quote?
I totally agree with Jed. I loved the knockout, I jumped out of my seat and threw my beer across the room but it's not the greatest knockout of all time. Top 10 maybe but not the best.
Name the best
Honestly, the best might be Stipe vs. Francis, the way Francis folded Stipe like that was disgusting. Either that or Machida KO'ing Evans or Francis KO'ing Allister.
I do think they need to keep the BMF title forever, because it's a loophole that the UFC can use to put on "pure striking" fights without actually asking or contracting the fighter to fight that way. The fighters are expected to fight with reckless abandon, which makes it the most exciting belt right now.
@@TheFireStarter1215but u expect ngannou to do that
@@joshladd5073 Gonzaga vs Cro Cop, no one expected it, 4-1 underdog, much more devastating, for the #1 contender to fight for the HW champ, via high kick (Cro Cops method) . Evans vs Liddell, no one expected Rashad to put Chuck to sleep, impacted the rest of his career, much more devastating, Chuck -2.5 favorite. Masvidal vs Askren, again more devastating, record knockout, and Askren -2.5 favorite. The list goes on and on, the thing that made this cool was the last second of the round, but that's already happened with Yair/Zombie and in a 5 rd fight (much more uniquely strike.)
How many more boops until Pereira is triple champ. Ready steady boop. LFG!!
LOLLLL. Jed Meshew saying "Let's do the immediate rematch with Jamahal and Alex Pereira." hahaha.
@@starseeddeluxe I love that poatan has his own boopy sound effect. Shout out jed for coining it
Don't disrespect Tom Aspinall like that.
@@luckyspurs I know Tom is a monster, but it's fun to dream.
@@thomasking4791 Nah it's alright, I just want Tom to get first as I'm British.
Juri is more Berserker than anything.
13:40. Best take on the Alex situation. Alex Pereira is a superstar; he needs a big name opponent. That means, no 205 pound fights for him. He needs to fight Tom Aspinall or the scariest knockout artist at heavyweight: Striker Sergei Pavlovich (after Pav violently starches poor Alexander Volkov on June 22, 2023 on ABC). Pav won't have a scratch on him, the fight will last 29 seconds, so he'll be ready to fight in July.
Jed meshew is the worst
Saying to stop doing the BMF is absurd, then saying they should make a womens BMF is also absurd. Which women are current BMFs? Weill, schevchanko, can’t really say Suarez
You lot really don’t understand what a “bmf” is ffs it’s not for people like that its for a certain type of person/fighter
Oh yea Conor mcgregor getting announced was way to embarrassing… I couldn’t even watch that’s how embarrassing it was.. super embarrassed for the ufc.. loosers
100% agree with Ched. Max didn't risk anything, Justin can barely stand by the point in the fight. Amazing moment but being completely overblown. Not even a top ten knockout
Jed is the man!
Alex vs. Cyril at UFC 301.
Alex has a broken toe...
Jone is 'supposably' HW champ, who apparently refuses to fight...... Jones and Leon Edwards should go into business with each other, selling trinkets, they obviously dont want to fight .. Why would he fight Cyril?
@@junipersnow1 Leon literally accepted 3 fights for the card we had this weekend.
It's the UFC that don't want to book Belal.
Max KO was great but was to be expected from a fighter running on fumes with a broken nose
Btw Charles is a bad mf. I can see him knocking out or submitting max.
Funny how new york ric tells people to stop crying when he spent the entire show crying lol tone deaf 😂
Guess Islam chose the real BMF to fight and that is Poirier. That Gaethje head kick was a Hail Mary for me. If it was Max vs Poirier, Poirier would've TKOd Max 💯
COnor Leon Max. 3 best kos ever
Rick saying Conor vs Aldo is a top KO is ludicrous. Conor has been a manufactured product and Poirier has proven that. He would have never been a double champ if he had fought someone other than the champion. He would have been a top 5 at best
Gl with all that lol. Try bein reasonable keep that nonsense inside ur head if u want to be taken seriously
@@jedibrooks7235 A comment from a Conor fanboy
@@slicvmI strongly dislike Conor but you're totally wrong here. You're judging 2015 Conor based on 2021 Conor. He flatlined the best featherweight of all time with one punch at the opening of the fight. You can't take that away.
@@TucoRope2Tight Poirier and Max weren't as skilled back then as they are now. They both have surpassed Conor skill set.
@slicvm Doesn't change the fact that Conor's finish of Aldo is a top finish. (Also, it's more complicated than you put it: Conor majorly fell off after 2016, also a weakness in cardio was exposed. But at the peak of his left hand power, he was something very special, whether you like him or not).
I agree with Jed. Frank Mir heel hooking Brock fn Lesnar who was supposed to Kill Mir that was a moment.
44:00. Guys, I watch all your episodes together. I'd like to suggest that New York Rick try to be a little less hostile. The content is A+ content, in terms of the technical analysis. But there is a lot of hostility. I feel uncomfortable watching this, because it's supposed to be a fun and exciting discussion, not a heated unwavering battle of ego. Kindly consider listening, and being less serious?
We must not be watching the same thing because it looked like one person had their ego hurt, and it wasn't Ric's. One minute and a half after the timestamp it's pretty glaring.
How is getting into a shootout with a broken nose almost blind jg bad ass? Thats just lame in my book. Ilia will set things right again. 😊
Ny rick is getting ariel like. As in he sucks. Acts so blase....😢 where's bc?
All ninjas got knocked out on the card stick to stealing cars and running from the cops jamahal thats all yous are good for
Booby green and Aljo lost ? 😂
He just has a mini brain
