The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz XX
[0] You're listening to Draft King's Network.
[1] Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started.
[2] In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family, and 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong.
[3] Family owned from the start, same family, same land.
[4] Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila.
[5] Go to Quervo .com to shop tequila or visit a store near you.
[6] Cuervo, now's a good time.
[7] owned by Beckley.

[10] Broximo.
[11] Jersey City, New Jersey.
[12] Please drink responsibly.
[13] Yeah, in a fight, you know, all the fights I'm in.
[14] But you guys aren't professional fighters.
[15] That's the thing.
[16] I'm 60 -40 protecting myself.
[17] I'm sure the guys that are in there are like, I'm going to 100 % knock this guy's head off.
[18] You guys, you guys have heard Mike Tyson say, right?
[19] Everyone's got a plan until they've got until they get punched in the nose.
[20] Everybody thinks they're going to win the knockout bonus of the night, right up until you're in a fight against somebody who's about as good as you are and you're afraid of it happening to you.
[21] The bonus needs to be higher.
[22] $100 ,000 for those guys is not enough incentive.
[23] No, Dan, it's not.
[24] A million dollars, you will have guys like Floyd Mayweather.
[25] Guys who don't go for knockouts, they will then go for knockouts.
[26] If indeed that's what he's going for.
[27] Knocked out left and right.
[28] Same guys.
[29] Who, over like Martin Lawrence in the fight against Tommy Hearns.
[30] At least we get a knockout.
[31] I mean, Stugantz, I believe, do you guys think I have this?
[32] wrong because I know that Stugats' chief incentive is always money on all things.
[33] But I think that the chief motivator for most human beings that is higher than even money is surviving.
[34] And when I put people who, even if they're trained in a fight in front of others where they can not only get knocked out but also embarrassed and their career can get derailed by being on the wrong end of the knockout and everything they've worked for, there's not an amount of money that you can put in these circumstances that is going to actually get you more entertaining fights.
[35] I think we all understand that, but there are more entertaining fighters, and they're guys with different styles, different disciplines that they're stronger at.
[36] And if you're a matchmaker, if your top guys are more suited for ground fights and more defensive style fights, it's your job as a matchmaker to put guys that lean on other disciplines that are a bit more aggressive and a little bit more exciting for the fans, especially when you consider it's happening at 4 a .m. local time.
[37] I don't care what time it is in Vegas.
[38] It's 3 a .m. there.
[39] The welterweight championship that we just saw between Leon Edwards and between Balah Muhammad was a war of attrition in the Welterweight division because neither guy was supposed to get a title fight.
[40] They didn't want Leon.
[41] He had been unbeaten for nine years.
[42] Think about that.
[43] He had not lost a fight in nine years until he fought Kumar Hussman and beat him.
[44] They did not want to give him a title shot through those nine years.
[45] Bala Muhammad, the same thing.
[46] Hasn't lost in five years.
[47] They did not want to give him a title shot whatsoever.
[48] But it finally got to a point that they continued to win in their styles until it was like, all right, we have nobody else.
[49] Colby's out.
[50] Kumar Hussman's out.
[51] Shavkarukh, Rokmano, who's probably going to get the next title shot is just a buzzsaw who's going to be incredible.
[52] We'll see him in a little bit.
[53] But these are the two guys.
[54] We need to make this fight because they just keep winning and they've given us no choice.
[55] Dana is not happy that Balaahman won this title.
[56] The boring winners.
[57] A boring, yes, he was training with Kabib.
[58] You knew how this fight was going to go.
[59] I'm going to get him on the ground.
[60] I'm going to try to put him in a rear naked choke for four and a half minutes.
[61] With that, Dana's like, damn, now I have a champion who is going to try and wrestle everybody, and that's going to be boring because if he wins and he's successful at that, then I got another wrestling champion.
[62] But he looked good on his feet against my boy.
[63] He did.
[64] He outstruck him.
[65] Right.
[66] He outstruck him.
[67] He totally closed off the octagon.
[68] Exactly.
[69] So I think, like you said, put an exciting fighter against Balaw with wrestling skills.
[70] I think that fight will be more sense.
[71] I wouldn't mind seeing Edwards get another shot at it because it seemed to his own like in round five even though he was the much lesser fighter on the night.
[72] He kind of figured out what he had to do in round five and he's a guy that we've seen in the Usman fight in particular pull a win very late once he realizes oh, I finally figured this guy out.
[73] He just waited way too long.
[74] Again, they got one of those two guys that they didn't want out now.
[75] They're not giving him an immediate rematch.
[76] I think Dana said as much.
[77] I think Shavkat Rockmano is the next guy up because he has that wrestling acumen and his ability on the ground, but he's also a buzz saw on his feet.
[78] So I think that's the next fight to bake in Weldway.
[79] I mean, he was trying to offset the main event by putting heavyweight power on the card too.
[80] And just, it wasn't, it was a knockout, but it wasn't a sensational knockout.
[81] One knockout is all you need.
[82] One moment from each card is all you need to make all those negative feelings go away.
[83] And he just didn't get it this time.
[84] Stugats, I want to show you a couple of things here because I don't believe that we have had a music phenomenon that is quite like Taylor Swift is...
[85] It makes you emotional.
[86] In the modern age, I have something stuck in my throat.
[87] I thought you were talking about Gojira.
[88] Yeah.
[89] It is amazing what she's doing.
[90] This is crazy.
[91] If you think you're popular, this is a good reality check for anyone out there with the following.
[92] If you think you're popular, you're not.
[93] A German stadium, a stadium in Munich, is filled for her concert.
[94] and then far enough away to not be able to hear that concert very well or see anything at all.
[95] There's also a sea of people on a hill.
[96] Like just how many thousands of people you think are in this hill?
[97] Like this looks like 50 ,000 people outside of the stadium.
[98] You're saying they just...
[99] Better idea if they shot it in the landscape.
[100] Right.
[101] That's a good point.
[102] But you're saying they just want to be close to the action.
[103] They can't hear.
[104] There's no speakers set up.
[105] There's nothing out there.
[106] They can't hear it.
[107] It's a concert, but you can't hear it.
[108] It's not.
[109] You can't hear it well and you can't see much of anything.
[110] and this happens to her all over, all over the world where outside, people can't get in and they're just thrilled to be able to be outside.
[111] You know what I realize?
[112] Like, it is way too hot down here in Miami.
[113] We would never do that.
[114] We could never.
[115] We'd melt.
[116] It must be so nice out there.
[117] They're enjoying them.
[118] They just want to be outside near the action because their balls aren't melting.
[119] Right now it's 80 degrees in Munich.
[120] Look at all the fans.
[121] I came to see British Spears.
[122] Come on, do the thing.
[123] The guy is the guy.
[124] Not a lot of balls I saw there.
[125] I saw a lot of women there.
[126] It's hot as balls for women, too.
[127] Is it?
[128] Yeah, yeah, that one transcends.
[129] At Lebitard show.
[130] I don't understand that expression.
[131] I've never understood that expression.
[132] You don't understand it?
[133] I do, but I don't.
[134] I think I've heard Jess say I'm sweating my balls off.
[135] It's just the same.
[136] Put it on the poll at Lebitard show.
[137] Is it hot as balls for women as well?
[138] Now let's juxtapose.
[139] Taylor Swift against the SeaWorld Concert Series involving Soldier Boy.
[140] Who else is here at the Sea World?
[141] Bow Wow, I believe.
[142] I believe this is Bow Wow and Soldier Boy performing where Shamu used to perform.
[143] That was a question you were asking because you don't know if Shamu is around anymore.
[144] This is less exciting.
[145] The SeaWorld summer concert series feels like something, not unlike what the Marlins...
[146] Hey, this seems like.
[147] a pretty good party.
[148] I know which one I'd rather be at.
[149] This is great.
[150] Soul.
[151] Joe boy.
[152] Hey, look at him.
[153] Oh, gosh.
[154] Stugats here for my friends over at Simply Safe.
