Joe on Julianna Pena Beating Amanda Nunes, Dustin Poirier vs. Charles Oliveira

That one I didn't see coming. Those are way to one side? What was supposed to happen? Just run through here? The thing is, one thing I did say leading up to the fight, as they were getting ready, I said, you have to think of all the times for someone's underestimated someone. You can never underestimate an opponent. You can't go into a fight not nervous. You can't go into a fight completely sure that you're going to win when that other person is hungry and scared. Because weird things happen when people underestimate people. Everything happens in fighting. Everything. Fuck, that was nuts. What I saw as a fan from the outside, the first round, the first calf kick, make her fly. But we know that part. She's strong. She's bigger. We all know that part. But then everything comes on the other side. If Juliana was mentally sad, you know, prepare to die, fuck you, I'm going to take this from you. The moment you take the first couple punches and the KO guy don't stop you, we said through the years, every time Connor couldn't stop somebody, what happened? He got to stop. Sometimes. The second fight with Nate, he survived, didn't wound up beating him by decision even though he didn't stop him. But it don't happen all the time. But it was ready for that fight. But when you are relying yourself, like, okay, I'm going to stop you quick. You're thinking you're only going to KO somebody. Good luck with that. Well, the thing that I was watching in the first round when Juliana had the komora, when she was threatening with the komora at the end of the round, I was like, ooh, like that looks serious. And she kept doing it. She kept going to it. I'm like, look, as long as this fight is on the ground, in that kind of situation, Juliana is very dangerous. And if she can tire Amanda out, if there's a way to do it, that's the way to do it. Yeah, I didn't saw that coming either. I can lie and tell her, yeah, I knew she was punching in the face and make her slow down. But when they were exchanging punches, you can tell how much Amanda was charging. And when you charge, you get way more tired. Yeah, she was swinging for the fences. Like, she was trying to take her out quick. And then when Juliana was still there, you could tell she was fucking tired. For you to be a world champion in two divisions and universally recognizes the greatest woman fighter of all time, which Amanda is, it's unexcusable to be that tired in the second round. Yeah. Unexcusable. And just standing in front of her, just swinging in front of her. No movement side to side, standing right in front of her like you're watching a regional fight. But that's when you know how mental is the game. Yeah. You can have all the technique, all the power. The moment you doubt yourself and you take a step backwards, you're fucked. You're fucked. You're fucked. You're fucked. I take more care of what goes through my mind than how much conditional training I can do. Yeah. Because you can take, you can go way longer if your mind, like David Goggin was talking about it, in those moments you're about to quit and your mind is trapped in that thought that I'm going to quit. If you tell yourself, I'm going to go through hell, I'm going to fuck you up, that thing is reversible. Yeah. But you have to want it. You have to want it. That's why Childson was saying something that I don't agree with. He was basically saying, I don't really think that that was caused because Julianna, it was more quitting one side. But that quitting was caused for the dog and the other person too. It was caused by Julianna. Julianna made her quit. She didn't just quit on her own. You got to give Julianna all the credit. That's when I heard that this morning, I was like, wait a minute, you're not saying that. I get it. She's the goat. The one lost don't take your taro away. Right. But that lost take your taro away for sure. The belt, it don't take the taro off the goat. For all the achievement you have, your chaos, cyber. All the people you beat, you keep that. But she make you quit. You don't quit on your own. Yeah, she made her quit. But the way she quit was crazy. No hook. No hook wasn't on. No, the choke wasn't on at all. It was on the chin, right? See, let's find the choke. Let's find the submission. I'll tell you one thing. You don't need the hooks to put somebody in conscious. But you need to get under the chin. Oh, that thing wasn't even there. It was like this, right? There was nothing. Yeah. But look, you can get that fulcrum choke, like what Khabib did to Connor, if you get the forearm on the back and you crank the neck. But that requires a lot of strength. That wasn't what was going on. That was an excuse. No, she was just like, you know what? I want to live another day. Well, she was exhausted. She quit. I come back next time stronger, which I think myself like this. If you do that once, you will do it again. Well, you know, that is what Juliana said, leading up to the fight. Juliana said, I'm going to bring her back to what it was like when she was younger and she would quit in fights. How about fights you did at the beginning? Yeah. Well, there was fights where she got exhausted and she kind of like lost her way. And then she became the greatest of all time. And it's wild to see the difference. I think it's too close to the pay-per-view time. All the videos I'm looking at are just pictures. Oh, no. Find it on my Instagram. I have the video on my Instagram. The UFC lets me slide. They let me post shit on the Instagram. Look, it's only promotion. It's only helping. No one wants to help the UFC more than I do. I just can't control the video there. You can't control it? I can only hit stop and go. Oh, it's okay. Just show it to us. Just show it to us. Yeah, because that joke was like, it wasn't even close. So here it is. Listen to the volume too, because we're going fucking crazy. Me and DC are going nuts. I love it. I was watching that. You're going to be screaming. She's got a pain in her throat. She's doing it. She's doing it exactly what she said she was going to do. She said she's going to do it. That jab. Look at that jab. That right hand. Look at Amanda. Look at that jab. Yeah, she don't have her feet on their head. Oh, my goodness. She's so tired. Her bass is gone. Oh, my God. You got some space. Oh, my God. Listen to this. John Addick, the only professional, when you say that, I was cranking out. See? Yeah, here it is. Her eyes are gone too. Let's take a turn on the chin. Yeah, the chin. But it's not like... Not deep. No, not deep. Do you see some guys getting off some deep chokes before? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they have the fight on it. Yeah. She was like, I live another day. Yeah. Well, I mean, Dustin. I mean, Olivera had to keep adjusting on Dustin before he finally got it. That was deep. The moment he tapped, but might as well, the video just got us. He went behind the head. He hid the hand behind the head and he got that ultimate leverage too from that. Yeah. That was... Charles Olivera is a bad motherfucker. He is a bad motherfucker. Yeah. The only thing that I was thinking about it, without pulling the glove, you wouldn't end on top. Yes, true. That was a cheap move. So it's like... Yeah. Remember when Chad Mendes was about to suplex Alden the very first fight and he grabbed the fence and he got KO right after? Yeah, yeah. That would change a lot. Changes everything. Yeah. Because the grapple was full on deep and that made him roll to end on his back and that round, he took a lot of damage. Yep. Yep. So it's like, if that will be a jazzy play, hey, stop. Right, stop. One point. Just understand them.
