Nightcap Hour 1: Justin Gaethje UPSETS Ilia Topuria + Ciryl Gane DOMINATES Alex Pereira + Sean O’Malley Makes EASY WORK of Aiemann Zahabi + Mauricio Ruffy BEATS Michael Chandler + Bo Nickel FINISHES Kyle Daukaus

26:24Shannon Sharpe:Anthony Joshua. Joshua. Joshua. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. You remember he fought. See, the thing was, he fought Joshua and struck, Brod, look here. Man, Joshua got dynamite in his hand. You can't stand toe to toe with him. His reflexes, UFC reflexes are quick, but they ain't like a boxer. A boxer throw that punch and you don't even see him. You see Adrian Barnum, when he tried to help me, you tried to give this guy boxing, this MMA fighter boxing tips, like, whoop, pop. Every time he throws a pop, that's the uppercut right there. Pop, pop, whoop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop. Yeah. And that's what happened.

27:00Shannon Sharpe:But Cyril Ghosn was very impressive. Walked him into a southpaw open stance. Pierre came out with, you know, high leg kicks. Too much power. You know, he did take a chance, though. Pereira did take a chance. Oh, he moved up from middleweight. I mean, he was a middleweight. He was a 185er. Yeah, so he took a chance, and it might have been just too much for him. It might have been too much for him. Oh, yeah. going up that high, man, you got to be not only, you got to be skilled in other ways and just standing flat-footed and just trying to land a big punch. You got to be able to have more of your play than that.

27:40Shannon Sharpe:That's what makes Jon Jones so dangerous. Jon Jones can wrestle. Most heavyweights, what do you see them do, Ocho? They trying to land that one shot. They're not trying to take it to the mat. Taking it to the mat requires, hey, that's a lot of work. That's a lot of oxygen for somebody 250, 260 to try to wrestle, roll around. You, hey, we've all wrestled before. Wrestled for 10 seconds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tag. Go ahead, Joe. Hey, Pierre took some tough shots, bro. A couple of elbows to the back of the head. I was like, damn, I don't know how he got back up off of that. Yeah. Hey, I thought, I just thought gone was just too much power for him, Ocho.

28:24Shannon Sharpe:He looked like Garn was in peak shape. He looked faster. He looked really good. You know what I mean? He just looked like more on point to me. And I just couldn't see Pierre coming back from there, bro. No, if you think about it, he walked into a right jab, and then buckled him. Yeah. He took a knee with that old JoJo. He took a knee. Yeah. And then Garn was on him. as you go up, that power. Hey, it's the difference between a middleweight power, a light heavyweight power, and a true heavyweight power. Yeah, it's a different ballgame. Yeah. He saw that. I mean, you think about it. He fought Izzy at 185.

29:09Shannon Sharpe:Then he goes up to 205. That's light heavy. Think about it. He's fighting at a middleweight. He's 185. He weighed 251. damn for this fight 251 oh 70 pounds and you know what putting on that much weight you know it's slowing down too huh yeah yeah it'll slow you down and and i'm hoping if you gain that kind of weight you know i don't i don't know the ins and outs of it like that but does that does the power that you have at 185 does it carry over when you when you when you gain 70 pounds or that it It makes you slower. I'm trying to think. If he fought at 185 and now he's at 251, guys, he'd probably walk around 250 and 220.

29:57Shannon Sharpe:Easy. That's a big dude, bro. Easy. Do you see? Bro, he was as tall as gone. Yeah. You look at his frame, look at his frame, and look at Izzy's frame at 185. So you could tell he could put muscle on. I mean, that body can carry some weight. And you're looking like, but he looks sluggish. It looks sluggish, Ocho and Joe. To me, to my eye, it looked like, okay, yeah, he got dynamite. But the mere fact that God's like, I'm not just going to sit here and stand in front of you and make you throw. Catch him if you can. and you don't realize as that size to follow somebody around bro that takes something out of y 'all so and he was walking around but he was walking into punches this was a I didn't think I mean there's a reason why we haven't had a three division UFC champ I mean I would think it would probably be easier at a little lighter weight I mean to go from 85 to 05 to max weight at 65 you'd probably be able to go probably what 45 55 75 I think what's a well to wait 75 70 75

31:26Shannon Sharpe:okay I think that would probably be easy guys for me that's what I would think

31:35Shannon Sharpe:guys just hit too hard man as you start going up in weight man. Them guys hit hard. Hey, especially if you're a sitting target. Yes. And he doesn't wrestle. See, that's what makes John so lethal. John is just looking for an opening to get you down. He's a champion, champion, champion wrestler. Man, you get out there and go to playing you want to. Hey, hey, hey. You'll take the long one and won't wake up while you're out there playing. And then he got Man, he got so many tools in that toolbox. He got that spinning elbow. He got that spinning kick that he got Stipe Miocic with. He went toe-to-toe with Gustafson.

32:17Shannon Sharpe:I mean, he...

32:24Shannon Sharpe:But this fight, Aspinall and Agon, I think that's going to happen. I think, you know, they fought earlier, and then he got... Aspinall got an accidental poke in the eye. and it looked like Gon was dominating that fight.

32:39Shannon Sharpe:But it's going to happen. I think that's the fight. The interim, I'm sure Gon's like, look, I'm glad to have the belt, but I don't want no interim attached to it. I want to be the heavyweight champ. I think I've earned that right. Now the question is,

32:58Shannon Sharpe:what is Jones going to do? What is Bones going to do? I think he won a fight. I mean, he's not the problem. Too much money. I think the negotiating part is the problem. Y 'all know what it is, man. Y 'all know that man want a bag. Big bag. The reports are they offered him$15 million. For one fight? And he turned it down. Yes. He said, I guess he want$30 million. Because see what? You know what happens. They see what UFC sold for. Right. They see what the CEO is making. They see everybody's getting paid except the guys that's fighting. Now, they make good money, but I'm saying, when you start looking from a...

33:42Shannon Sharpe:Hey, it's just like anything. Hold on. How much a suite costs? How much they making TV revenue? And you're like, well, hold on. I ain't seen y 'all in no cleats yet. I ain't never seen no cleats. I ain't never seen nobody and with no jerseys, no job. And so now the fighters or players and so forth and so on, like, well, hold on. Where my cut? My for real, for real cut. And I'm not saying$10,$15 million is nothing to sneeze at, but I know you got 20, 25, 30 enough on you, boy. Hey, that's his value. He understands his true value. It is. What he's done for the fight game over the years, for one, being undefeated, knowing what he's going to do for that card and the eyes and the views and the gate that he can create if he does come back, he understands his true value.

34:34You pay him 25, you give him 30, you're going to get that back anyway. Especially depending on who the opponent is, he is the draw.

34:42Shannon Sharpe:Because people are going to watch him. People are going to watch him. Maybe, I think the thing is, maybe that would be the case if we could make it a pay-per-view fight. But now it's free. I mean, if you got Paramount Plus, it's free. Whereas before, Ocho, guys, you know, it's kind of like boxing. When all these fights you had to pay to get them, man, I really want to see, I want to see Jones Bones fight. I want to see this guy fight. Now it's, oh yeah, I got Paramount Plus. Yeah. And they get to run ads, but it's the pay-per-view where I charge you$100 or I charge you$150 I mean, what did the Pacquiao Floyd fight sell for?

35:27Shannon Sharpe:$100? Floyd Conor. What was that fight? $99,$109 something dollars? And then you get $200 million plus the advertising plus the gate. You think about in the history of boxing, that Floyd Pacquiao gate is one of the biggest of all time. And the Conor McGregor Pacquiao gate as well. I mean, the McGregor, Mayweather, Mayweathergate. You know, I'm talking about top five boxers of all time. So you understand if you get Jones from a business standpoint, as smart as Dana White is, you know, he's had success in business. I'm sure he understands that. It's all about them coming to a common ground and giving them something that's fair, but don't disrespect them.

36:14Don't disrespect them. Can we talk about the greatest fighter of all time?

36:18Shannon Sharpe:If, because you think if I pay, if Floyd made 220, Connor made 100 million so that's 320. How much did the fight make? They not going to give you half of what they make. So what did that fight actually bring in? You'll never know. Oh no, they not going to disclose that. Not the real numbers. Yeah, if you think about it, the cap what's the cap now? Almost 300 million? Well, every team before the season kicks off, they get$400 million from the networks. Now, I ain't sold a new ticket yet. I ain't sold no merchandise yet. I ain't sold no parking yet. I ain't did no local TV yet. I ain't sold concession yet.

37:09Shannon Sharpe:So I've got$400 million. I only got$100 million to spend out on the team, plus another, let's just say for the sake of argument, I'm going to say all my coaches and staff, that's another$30 million,$40 million. I still got$50 million, and I ain't had nobody in my stadium yet. And ain't nobody bought no jersey yet. And local TV and radio yet. And you know what, Ocho? I heard you know what? I heard you got a little something. You got a big old truck, big old tractor, truck, truck pool competition. You don't want to come to the stadium. And you, Joe, you like college football. Arkansas, y 'all want to play in the Georgia Dome, huh?

37:48You do?

37:48Shannon Sharpe:Okay, come on now.

37:53Shannon Sharpe:So when it's all said and done, look, even the worst owners probably pocketing 150 million. Oh, yeah. Easy. Easy. Easy. So, man, this was, hey, Cyril Ghan, he impressed me tonight. Because sometimes I don't love, I think he fights lazy at times. He came to fight tonight. He came to fight tonight. He looked ready. Yeah, he came ready to fight. The men's battle weight, Sugar Shane O'Malley, defeated Zabi by TKO. Sean O'Malley ties TJ Dillashaw for the most knockout victories in UFC battle weight history with seven. O'Malley held the UFC battle weight championship from August 23 to September 24. He defended it once against Marlon Vera before losing back-to-back fights with Mera.

38:45Shannon Sharpe:Mera, excuse me. The belt is currently held by Peter Yan, and who is expected to face Debbie Shally. O'Malley, who entered the card ranked number three in the division, called for Yan to be his next opponent. I saw him lose the fight. He didn't look good. I think he had an injury. Didn't he have an injury? I think he had a shoulder injury or something. They said, because he didn't look like himself when I saw him. If I'm not mistaken, I saw him. He was at the sphere. That's where I saw him the last time. I think that's the last time that I saw him fight. But he said he had an injury. I don't know if that's true or not, but that's where I saw him.

39:20Shannon Sharpe:But he looked good tonight. He looked really good tonight. And again, that jab. Walked him into it and boom. Yeah, that left put him down. That left stunned him. That right put him down. You know, he used their reach all night, bro. I mean, one of the best and most probably accurate strikers, you know, in MMA. It was fun watching him fight tonight, bro. He put on a master class. Yeah, and I think the thing is, and that's what people really love about the UFC. Get that look. All that sizing up and trying to feel like, nah. They ain't got time for that. Dana's like, I put you on the card to fight.

40:00That's it. You got to do it. You can't hide. Hey, listen, you can't hide. You can't run. You better come in there with a game plan. If game plan A ain't work, you better have a game plan B.

40:09Shannon Sharpe:It's serious, bro. I mean, do you understand the conditioning that you have to be in to be a UFC fighter? Hey, hey. I mean, to be really good, you don't have to be great at anything, but you got to be good at a lot of things. Hey, hey, and what we talk about, building up them calluses in sports to where you can play. Boy, you know how many kicks you got to take to your damn leg so you can build it up, you know what I mean? I'm like, you think them little kicks don't matter, bro, but over a period of time or over a period of time - A period of time, oh, it hurt? It hurt. Yeah, Joe. That's just how - You kick somebody in the leg, man.

40:49Shannon Sharpe:We've all had five bruises. Man, imagine somebody, man, look here. Man, hold on. Let me run to my car right quick. I got something for you. Hey, hey, Joe, Joe, hey, Uncle Joe over there laughing. What do you think I'm gonna do to him when I see him? He gonna get that close. You gonna get that close. You can get that close. Hey, listen, I'm not Tepore. I'm coming. I'm dunking in the sludge and picking angles. I ain't worried about no jab. You coming in like Tyson? Ocho, you coming in like Tyson? Hey, Joe, I'm picking angles, man. I'm not thinking about him. You see how Tepore looks? Disconfigured.

41:22Shannon Sharpe:His face is disconnected. Boy, I'm going to jab your little ass in there. Ping, ping, ping, ping. Nah, boy, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Joe tall, too? Ocho. You going to chop him down, Ocho? Ocho, you ain't going to be able to. Listen, I'm a heavyweight ultra, I'm 250. Man, when I hit you, when I hit you flush, when I hit you flush with one of these, boy, you going to the canvas. Joe, you ain't got no skills to be able to hit me. That's the problem. Man don't know what type of trainer I don't know. Don't know how. He don't know how, Joe. He don't know what I'm doing. Yeah, yeah. Well, hey, this is the thing.

41:55I don't know how you stay in shape, but you know I'm in shape. That's all that matters.

41:58Shannon Sharpe:How you been doing is running, playing soccer. You ain't doing nothing. Yeah. All right. Yeah. It's the same way I kicked that ball. I'm going to kick your ass. Okay. Okay. I can't wait to see this, partner. Who are we? Yeah. The lad. I mean, Ocho, you going up in size now. I mean, you going from a 190 to a 250. All that shit he been talking don't even matter no more. We ain't even talking about size. Hey, the funny thing about it is I'm gonna hit him full time before he didn't realize he got hit. Damn. Too big, 250, what'd that tell you? Slow feet. I'm gonna work the jab to death. Slow feet. Hey, no.

42:39That's all you gonna do with jabbing. He already came out there right one, that left one. He damn sure he gonna be in a second. I'm gonna be aiming right at it. Beep, beep, beep. I'm gonna be good. Hey, you know what an airplane, right? An airplane only need one engine to work in the air. Not against this. I only need one eye to get done what I need to get done. One plea.

42:56Shannon Sharpe:One plea. I'm trying to tell you. No, Ocho, that's just the land. You can't take off with one engine, though. It can operate just well in the air with one. That's all that matters. We going to see. Hey, if you tell me you got one engine, don't worry about it. Get me off here. Let me off. I'll see y 'all when y 'all get back. But no, those fight, I mean, the Gaethje, Tapura fight, the Ghan, Piedra fight, the O'Malley. and the bikes were great. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, how about the rest of them? Because I was in flight. I was leaving the room to come home and I missed other ones. Oh, go ahead, hon.

I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything. It's the rage bait.

46:17It feels like it's trying to divide people. If we got clear facts, maybe we can calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News, reporting for America.

46:38Shannon Sharpe:Oh yeah, yeah, Josh Hokey defeated Derrick Lewis by TKO on the night that began an electrified knockout. Hokey added a fourth TKO, but did so against an immobile statue and this shit. Lewis looked bad. He did. He looked bad. Hey, Hokey the character in that ring, boy, but he ain't. Hey, what you mean he looked bad, Joe? Man, Hokey, hey, Ocho, he's like he was on another level tonight. Hold on, he looked like he was on another level with that last fight he had. Man, that was exciting. When Hogan fought, remember when Hogan fought last time? Yes, yes, yes. He looked like that, but Derrick Lewis, I mean, at 41.

47:14Shannon Sharpe:And look, he's a puncher. If he can't land anything, he's going to run out of gas. Yeah. Damn. Josh Hogan won the biggest fight of his career at the White House and decided to finish with an interview called Michelle Obama a man. Yeah, that's what I said, man. I mean, bro, look, and I'm glad. Look, I didn't see it because I didn't have any sound on. But I was, you know, strolling through Twitter, and then I saw that. I was like, damn, he said that on thing? And then I got it. It didn't get the response that he hoped that it was going to get. I mean, so now you take that platform. So I just want to make sure.

47:54Shannon Sharpe:I want to make sure there's a certain network that says athletes shouldn't, you know, don't bring sports into politics into sports. Yeah. I'm just saying You can't say that When you're having a fight A sport, a sporting event At a White House Which that intertwines politics and sports It's always been sports and politics Yes sir I don't know if they know anything about Desegregation when there was no blacks In sports But I thought sports bring People together It didn't bring them together, it was forced to until you saw how well the blacks could do something like, hold on. You want me to tell me y 'all can run that fast?

48:38Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all can catch? Y 'all can shoot? Y 'all can hit them all? And y 'all can do it better than we can? Or let me go get you? No. Huh? Because the SEC, guess what? Until old Sam Bam Cunningham came down there and ran over Alabama and said, take one to catch one. Let me go get you a couple of days. So this notion, this notion all of a sudden, oh, we gonna keep politics out of sports. Politics has never been out of sports. I don't know when y 'all remember when Jesse Owens went to Berlin in 1936. I don't know if y 'all remember that. Or when Joe Louis knocked out Max Schmeling. I don't know if y 'all remember that.

49:19Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. But y 'all, you know, I see y 'all get me up on my soapbox every time, Joe, damn. Yeah, it get you worked up, man. preach let them know huh but they do this they know it it's just the fact I don't like what you talking about so this is what I want you I wanted you to keep it out of it Joe Ocho y 'all remember how they did Jack Johnson stop that man going through he said here's a hundred dollars cause I'm coming back through just as fast as I went through so here's a hundred yeah I like Josh Hokett I understand what he's trying to do he's trying to take the conor mcgregor route he's just going about it a little a little a little a little wrong in in a sense there's a way to bring the entertainment value before the fight there's a way to to to create that that that aura and um that that character that you're trying to present but then also be able to back it up in the octagon but he just he's picking the wrong way well you know now you know yeah yeah he created and controversy.

50:23Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all know now, man, guys figure, or people figure any publicity is good publicity. You know what I mean? So they'll say whatever, they'll do whatever to get a sound bite. Hell, hey, y 'all see what's going on in New York too. You know what I mean? Hey, whatever it takes. I think the thing is, is that she happened to be low hanging fruit. They know that woman, she's not that, but it's good. Just like they know that man was born in America. and the man that pushed that. Now, they hate lies and they hate conspiracy theories, but they pushed one for over a decade. But that was cool. That was cool.

51:06Shannon Sharpe:President Obama, you know what he should have done? President Obama, when he got into office, he should have filed a defamation for$100 billion and then have his Justice Department to pay it off. Y 'all know what I'm talking about Yeah The problem with Shell Obama That's what I'd have done too Oh y 'all say I wasn't born here Y 'all say my birth certificate bogus Okay here we go right here Boom Y 'all say my man Okay here it is right here Boom Now this is going to cost you A hundred billion Alright Justice Department Play it off Oh you know what We don't think like that Because each department Is supposed to be separate Legislative independent Judicial independent executive independent Department of Justice is not supposed to work for an individual but y 'all know what I'm talking about but it ruined a good look he won the fight he beat Derrick Lewis I thought the extra stuff at the end was unnecessary Conor McGregor talks about the fighter that he's fighting he don't go outside and try to take on some low hanging fruit because ain't nothing that he said was entertaining about what he said the one thing I can't say about Conor McGregor he is entertaining do I think some of the things that he said to Floyd went over the line absolutely Absolutely.

52:17But he goes at the fighter.

52:18Shannon Sharpe:Muhammad Ali started that. Yes. If you want to talk about an individual, fine, the guy that I'm fighting. But when you go outside and you try to take a jab at something, bro, come on, bro. You're not that funny. You're not that entertaining. And nobody thought you were funny. It's easy. And all you did was perpetuate a racial stereotype that you've been saying for years. They said the same thing about Venus and Serena. Every time a black woman becomes something, you, others, some people from that side, try to take a shot at them. It's been going on, I mean, when is it gonna be enough? Mm-hmm. No one.

53:02Shannon Sharpe:You don't see, we get in position, we don't do anything like that, we don't take no shots at nobody like that. But they do it all the time, and it's cool. Mm.

53:15Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, it was very unnecessary.

53:24Shannon Sharpe:Sometimes I wonder.

53:30Shannon Sharpe:Let's just say for the next 20 years, the roles are reversed.

53:38Shannon Sharpe:Like the roles were for 400 years, we just want 40. That ain't gonna happen.

53:47Shannon Sharpe:Just hypothetical, just one day like, oh, what? You mean to tell me? Hmm. We get to do stuff and oh well, we get 12 people on the jury that look just like us, our same skin complexion, oh yeah, not guilty. I mean, there are people in there filing their nails, doing everything they want to do, and you pay attention. You already know what's going to happen.

54:22Boy.

54:24Shannon Sharpe:Like I said, it ruined a great night. I thought Dana put a great card on. I thought the guys came to fight. I was very excited to see the fight from start to finish. I was disappointed it got delayed. I was like, damn, this is really going to push us back late tonight. But, hey, understanding that when you have an event and it's outside, you don't get to control the elements. You can control a lot of things. You can control the cow capacity. You can control a lot. You don't control that up there. The man upstairs can control that.

54:56Shannon Sharpe:Mauricio Ruffey defeated Michael Chandler by TKO. Ruffey blew out Chandler in the first round stoppage. The fight resembled that of glorified Spartan Session. Then he celebrated by proposing to his girlfriend. Chandler had hoped to end the three fight skid, but no match for Ruffey. and suffered a fourth consecutive loss. Damn. See, I couldn't see none of this. Ray, hey, hey, Ruffy was too much. Ruffy was too much. He was patient. I'll get Ojo. It was nothing but it could do with him, bro. And then, hey, hey, hey, once he started doing the spinning kicks, I said, oh, yeah, it's a whip. He hit that point.

55:28Shannon Sharpe:Well, he in that spinning kick? Yeah. Yeah. You know what, guys? It's like anything in sport. I hate to tell somebody because that's their body. They want to go in there and take them kicks. He ain't been close to winning. He ain't been close, guys. He ain't been close. Hey, I was sitting here thinking that. I'm like, man, you got to be alert to the old house, bro, to get up in there and not knowing if you're going to win. You know what I mean? Or not taking it serious. Bro, you can really die in that cage, man. Oh, absolutely. You can get hurt now. Oh. Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. You better come up with your mind right.

56:12Shannon Sharpe:You do. And it's... You know, the famous quote is, getting in is easy. Getting out is the hard part. Hard part. Knowing when to get out. Knowing when to get in is easy. Oh, y 'all gonna do this. When do you say... And we've seen it far too many times. We've seen some of the great, great fighters stay longer than what they should. They can't help it. See, at least in sports or basketball, hey, they cut you. Yeah. When you're an independent contractor, guess what, Joe? Hey, you just go do your own. Hey, I keep coming. As long as they're going to put me on the card, I show up. Oh, yeah. And I hate that.

56:57I hate that, you know, you fight so long.

57:03Shannon Sharpe:And it's not like they made a whole lot of money.
