Dubois KOs AJ, Sean O'Malley Speaks Out, Dana Back In Boxing | Full Episode | Morning Kombat

Another massive MK Monday coming your way. The guys are in studio with tons to talk about. In boxing, Daniel Dubois upsets Anthony Joshua in an absolutely one-sided demolition to defend IBF heavyweight title with a 5th round KO. For all the talk coming in about AJ's rejuvenation and newfound mean streak, how badly did the guys overlook Dubois' exact same transformation over his last two fights? The Wembley Stadium fight set new UK record of over 98,000 in wild atmosphere. What does this performance say about Dubois' future chances against the rest of the division? Plus, it's about time that we wake up to the fact that we are living in the midst of one of the greatest heavyweight eras in boxing history. Also, Dana White tells Irish media ahead of Friday's Callum Walsh homecoming in Dublin regarding future in boxing: "I'm in". Given teases of "Shake Turkey" partnership in 2025, it's hard to imagine Dana/UFC's involvement in boxing will be small. But considering Dana told Irish media of his plans, "I'm HBO, that's the way I would look at it," what type of impact could TKO/Endeavor have in the boxing market?
In MMA news, Sean O'Malley declares himself still the undefeated UFC champion after UFC 306 rewatch, where he scored it 3-2 for himself. Is O'Malley pulling this public stunt because he's a sore loser, or he's angling for an immediate rematch or he's just trying to make compelling KZbin content? Does O'Malley's torn hip labrum reveal and subsequent surgery better explain his poor performance against Merab Dvalishvili? Or does it take away from Merab?
Finally, the guys make a huge announcement that you Donks wont want to miss.

While on the topic of things returning to MK, we need the BC 90s counter back!

did i just hear an american ex military guy criticise british imperial colonialism

[@spaffron4285]

Same guy who enjoys the tune I c*m blood but judges everyone else's music

[@IS-db6pn]

These things are not mutually exclusive. Luke has also criticized American imperialism and the war crimes by the US military im general. One of Eisenhower’s most memorable speeches as US President, and therefore commander in chief of the US military, was his warning and criticism of the military industrial complex.

[@thatindiandude4602]

I mean, Luke has been consistent in American imperialism and currently their unbridled support for Israel, so it is consistent.

[@rich45davis]

As a Brit I love hearing you guys breaking down Dubois and AJ.

[@tristhekid]

Luke waffling out his ass like Loma didn’t try to make the Tank fight years ago and Ellerbe said that Tank wasn’t ready and they’re gonna take their time, now all of a sudden Tank wants to fight him now he’s older and in the twilight of his career. It was only a few years ago that Loma wanted it and Tank/Tanks team didn’t.

[@ItsTheAtomicGamer]

[@SulaimanRafiq]

Great couple of last podcasts and congrats on formalising two times a week!

[@jond.7382]

I don't understand why Brian and Luke don't just make a patreon and start their own business doing this show.. they have plenty of fans who would subscribe $5 a month and on top of that, they would get easy sponsorships for the show.. and they could just do it from home and keep the production simple. Also they can control everything about the show depending on what the fans want! People always seem like you need to constantly evolve the business and get this huge studio with good production but in reality, majority of the fans just want to listen to these two talk mma. Chill at home at your desk and just do what you did before, keep the costs low with studio/production.. plenty of people would subscribe $5 a month. Its it more authentic and natural and don't have to worry about traveling each week into a studio. Which they can spend way more time with the family. easy comparison would be last stand media by colin moritarty.

Figgy Merab is such a fun fight. Funny how OMalley fights Chito and many people are against Merab choosing a deserving contender. I say Figgy first and then Umar is there. Everyone acting like it has to happen this instant is ridiculous

[@laskyn8938]

2 days a week babyyyyyyy!! WOOOOOOOOO!!! LET'S GO!

[@GrappleHeavy93]

I like the idea of a picks segment, but okay bet sucked & we didn't even get a payoff.

[@aquabuddha]

OK Bet and Fan Subs tend to be segments that really slow down the show. There'd be more enthusiasm about OK Bet if it had a payoff for the viewers last year. There should be a better prize for the winner and/or a worse punishment for the loser. Otherwise, give us more gameshow type segments.

[@tigerkuma1011]

2 episodes per week is ideal. 3 is too many, 1 leaves me hungry

[@bigmig67]

I criticised Luke for his behaviour last week.....Very cool that he realised he behaved incorrectly. No matter what the catalyst was

[@elliottspence]

Been with MK from day 1 and will continue to, but you guys (Luke/Brian) have a severe blindspot when it comes to these fighters who absolutely destroy your pre-fight conclusions. Saying Dubois has basically little to no chance against Usyk, just seems elitist at this point and you don't even realise it. It's as bad as Sky Sports punditry giving zero-chance to Dubois in the lead up. Luke, hope you read this, but you're incredibly hung up on age (the latest example, Belal) and continue to bring it up in every discussion where it just feels like your overt mid-life crisis (fix yourself and/or stop projecting) is tainting any open-minded analysis. You rely way too heavily on numbers and fight stats to surmise what you believe will be the outcome as opposed to it being a contributing factor. It just seems you have these blinders on that drastically limit your thinking. You need to be somewhat imaginative, at the very least, a grounded imagination that opens up possibilities. Peace.

[@sarcasticgenius8563]

Yeah. An example of this was BSD vs Poirier. Luke was saying that BSD has defensive liabilities that are going to get him in trouble against elite guys. Then as soon as his fight vs Dustin was announced Luke was saying how Dustin is old and being fed to the younger guy who was likely going to beat him. Lo and behold his original analysis turned out to be correct. But again he got caught up on age

[@sainttrunks1982]

Anderson.Siva vs Jon Jones is the biggest missed superfight yall don't bring up

[@marvingreen7441]

What do u guys mean that ok bet is not missed?? Its one of the best segment, when they really dig deep in the analysis and how they see the fights going (not only the main and comain)

[@badalatof9184]

The excitement level from the guys wasn't as high as I thought it would be. At least pre Luke's clapping. I'm excited

[@Matty5811]

Appreciate BC pointing out the effect of a fight ending caliber punch. So many factors come into play and shouldn't judge fighter technique so harshly. Fighters forget fights and rounds. Just because a fighter looks to have recovered doesn't mean they have to the degree that they can fight even close to their abilities. Fighters forget entire fights forget rounds or remember but can't doe everything they want or normally can.

I've watched this show since day one, but I took a break over the last year or two. I couldn't handle the constant bellator and boxing talk.
