On this edition of The MMA H.E.A.T. Podcast, Karyn Bryant and UFC Welterweight Alan Jouban discuss the action that went down at UFC Lincoln, where Lightweight Justin Gaethje knocked out James Vick in the first round of the main event. They also talk about Eryk Anders’ head-kick KO of Tim Williams, the split decisions won by Michael Johnson and Cortney Casey, Jake Ellenberger’s retirement and wins by Deiveson Figueiredo, James Krause, Cory Sandhagen, Joanne Calderwood and Mickey Gall. In addition, Karyn and Alan discuss Middleweight Champ Robert Whittaker’s take on fighting overweight opponents and the idea of alternates for title fights, and Karyn explains her very funny “snap-a-doodle-doo” moment from the UFC On FOX post-fight show.

I dont think James did anything wrong. I think Justin's back might have been against the wall. Even though he is Mr. highlight, he was 1-2 in the UFC heading into this fight. Most fighters that have a losing streak are released. He showed fans why he started 18-0. I dont get why James was backtracking from his trash talking. At times, it was funny. My favorite one was when he refered to Justin as Homer Simpson of the UFC. Outside of Fs1, there was hardly any promotion for James vs Justin. This card was supposed to be Justin vs Al Iaquinta. Al claimed to be injured but I think its a case of he wrote checks that his ass couldnt cash. I wonder if Jake folding mentally. I wonder if he was already in his mind retired but was just going through the emotions. He lost his last 4 by knockout. Was 2-9 in his last 11 fights. The fact he lasted as long as he did without getting cut is amazing. James Vick will be back, he just had a bad day at the office.
Anders was the biggest favorite on the card. He did what he was supposed to do despite getting dominated in the 1st round. Krause with the big KO of the night.
Yeah robert and Woodley are right you don't have to fight a backup cause the backup is scoping you out the whole time while you're focused on the main guyKaryen is great hey?
And there should be point deductions for missing weight! 1 point advantage
This makes the 9-5 go by an hour faster
I scored it for Vick.
Can we score Alan a computer and camera so we can get off this crappy phone connection?
He’ll be like Cowboy Cerrone. We will want to see him fight. He start racking up wins again.
Yea like James just folding mentally Jake just lost something. Not sure if it was confidence or maybe kids or something at home..not sure. But Jake knocked out Nate Marquardt and thats not an easy feat. He really shouldnt have lost to Mike Perry. I hate to say it sucks but Mike Perry is not top level fighter. Im so not impressed w that guy. But I am impressed w Paul Felder, I love that guy Id love to see that rematch. Paul is a monster. Id like to see him fight I La Quinta still. I hope they dont lose track of that thought. And Paul would 100% beat Justin. Id put money on Paul. I didnt beat on James becsuse he doesnt have a killer instinct. He is waay to concerned about what Justin is gonna do..fuck that youre the bigger guy. It dhouldve been the other way around but Im over it. I dont even really care, only cause I didnt put money on it. You cause me to lose money because youre weak mentally.. lol, no.
Tyrone said theres a better chance he will fight Darren in a non title fight than fight Usman on 24hr notice. Which is exactly what I would do. That way you cross Darren off the list and your belt is not on the line. And if you lose there will likely be a rematch. I kinda lean towards Darren in that fight. Who knows tho, Tyrone is a lot like Yoel..I wish they were the same size Id love to see Tyrone vs Yoel. But whatever I dont know whats gonna happen. James was suppose to beat Justin he just buckled under the pressure. I dont care but Ill never predict James to win a fight again.
How can it not be a "30-27, ever" If the rounds are so damn close? Cheers tho Karyn!
The fighters know who the replacement will be way ahead of the fight, it's not some random person that jumps in at the last moment.
I watched the Bobby Knuckles 360 VR interview and I agree with his thoughts on the back up fighter. I like Alan's idea of getting show money if the back up fighter makes the weight.
Robert Whittaker is the strangest "champ" ever,always injured,while he is champ 2 other guys fight for the belt on the side then he is champion again, Romero whooped his ass last fight ,nice guy but nobody ever will take him as a champion smh
Karyn dropping them curls and knowledge ! You rock my friend !
Thanks a lot!
I keep missing the live stream☹️ As always great episode!
Lol people love giving Karyn crap for no reason. Just shows how awesome she is that people who could never do what she does care so much. Keep up the good work Karyn.
You guys said till is a ppv draw. Ill just let you know he has never fought on a ufc ppv so i dont know how any of us could know that he is a draw.
Usman has fought on 1 ppv ufc 210 which did 300k buys
I love your work.
