The guys break down the fight, weigh in on the "true African champ" narrative, and play out potential scenarios in the middleweight division, which has even the likes of Alex Pereira circling for another crack at the belt. Kai Kara France came off two losses and went toe to toe with Steve Ercig, right after Astroboy had a go at Pantoja for the Flyweight belt. Kai wins, and Kamaru plays matchmaker for the flyweight division (watch out, Hunter!). Hooker and Gamrot was exciting and there's plenty of praise from the P4P hosts around Hooker's performance. He didn't call any specific names out during the Octagon interview so the guys forecast potential matchups. Tai Tuivasa vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik really puts into perspective the danger of Francis Ngannou...remember that 20-sec knockout in 2020? The judging on this one was suspect - with one at the table having Tai up 30-27. Carlos Prates impressed Henry and Kamaru and the guys believe UFC will keep building him up as a force in Kamaru's Welterweight division. Li Jingliang is no slouch but the accuracy of Prates broke him down. Where does Prates go next in the WW column? 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Israel Adesanya vs. Dricus Du Plessis 06:30 - "African Champ" Narrative 16:30 - Henry Cejudo, Izzy's Secret Fan 18:00 - What's Next for Middleweight Contendors 26:20 - Kai Kara France vs. Steve Ercig 31:30 - Dan Hooker vs. Mateusz Gamrot 35:50 - Tai Tuivasa vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik 38:40 - Carlos Prates vs. Li Jingliang 46:30 - Prelim Review 49:50 - Underdog Fantasy Sports Results Thank you to UnderDog Fantasy for sponsoring the show.
