Shadowing Practice: BREAKING: Hokit vs. Gane at Madison Square Garden - Learn English Speaking with Video

Well, I just got a call from the UFC, and I am never the guy that gets – I don't break news.

I'm not against breaking news.

I just – I don't – I got news.

They gave me scoop, and I thought it was out there.

I thought I was being brought in on, like, the celebration.

Listen, Josh Hogan is going to be fighting Surreal Gone, Madison Square Garden.

But when I was told, I thought I was being brought in on the celebration like is Josh and Team Bad Guy Inc.

And I thought I was being brought in on a celebration.

I go to the dot coms.

It's not out there anywhere.

So I think they use me.

I think I'm the guy that got the news.

And I got to turn this around.

And it can take me up to 45 minutes to make a piece, but then get it to you guys.

But believe it or not, you got loading times.

And then there's an audio thing.

And there's an edit you have to run through.

And there's an approval process.

My point is, unless you find this out somewhere in the next 45 minutes, then I am breaking this news.

Madison Square Garden, Josh Hogan, is going to be fighting for the world championship against Surreal Gone.

Now, I didn't think to ask any questions.

I didn't really have any.

I was just listening.

In fact, I thought that the call was in for something else and that this had just come up.

But then they got off the phone and I realized, oh, they just called to tell me.

How cool is that?

So I feel like this is my job.

I feel this is my job.

I'm supposed to come and tell you guys, and I think that's incredible news.

Now, when I got off the phone, I realized I hadn't asked a question.

I assume it's for the Undisputed Championship.

I assume that Surreal Gone is the Undisputed Champion.

but from hanging up this phone call

and before i'm able to make this to you i was a guest on errol hawani's show

and errol brought it to my attention

that surreal gone has not been named the undisputed champion now i pushed back on ariel

and said hey ariel i'm well aware that we make this up

that we adhere to the rules we make up on the spot

but i don't think there needs to be an announcement that Cyril Gaughan is the undisputed champion.

I think he just is.

I think that's why you have an interim champion in the event

that the undisputed champion cannot continue and then he gets elevated, and Errol goes, well, he said, Shale, historically, what are you referencing that to?

I'm changing Errol's word a little bit, but he said, well, what are you referencing that to?

He said, think back, even think of Tom.

The most recent time this happened, they held a press conference.

He's like, well...

Guys, let me tell you about the DraftKings Sports app.

DraftKings Sports is now available in all 50 states.

This brings the excitement right to your fingertips, wherever you are.

From Florida to Texas to California, you will never miss a beat.

Follow every moment, every matchup, and every highlight.

No matter where you're watching, you are always connected and in the game with one app.

The fights are heating up right now, and I have teamed up with DraftKings to bring you a brand new offer.

New DraftKings customers.

Use code SUNNIN.

Spend five bucks and get 200 in total bonuses.

That's code SUNNIN.

Just download the DraftKings Sports app today and stay in the game.

With DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Yes, they did hold a press conference, but out that press conference is where they announced that John Jones was relinquishing the belt.

It was a simultaneous, and they happened to do that through a press conference.

Tom is the one that broke the news to us that he was resigning the title.

so there won't be the ability for a press conference

and i believe simultaneously that this takes place but i can't help

but to agree i don't actually know that

but hocus fight for the belt there'd be no reason to accept there'd be no reason to accept back the undisputed title,

let alone give back the heavyweight title, if you weren't in a position to get on with it, I want to get this right.

I don't break stories.

They don't call me for stories.

So I want to get it right.

And I just have to give you this little caveat that I was so flattered they called me, I guess.

Is that the word?

That I didn't ask anything.

I just said, okay.

And now Ariel is pushed back just a little bit.

Here's the thing in conjunction with all of this happening, a picture gets released from Alex Piera.

He's in the UFC's office.

He has just done a deal.

He releases a photo with Hunter Campbell in the office, which is very consistent with guys that just did a deal.

And Piera's got this huge smile.

He looks very happy.

Now, we don't have a caption and we don't know what that is but a picture is worth a thousand words.

And if you're attempting to deduce what you should get from that, it looked like Pierre got some news that he liked.

Without knowing what happened, I can at a minimum tell you they do not bring you into the office to discuss small stuff.

Small stuff goes through a manager.

Medium, medium-high stuff will go directly to you, but it's still done over the phone.

I need to see you in the office.

is a whole different level.

So what could have happened?

What are the guesses?

If Alex came in and got a fight and it made him happy, Alex really wanted to fight at MSG.

He asked for it.

Now he did want to fight Cyril gone, but he made a bigger deal about MSG.

And Alex likes to turn him around quickly.

And Alex has done that as a favor to the company.

So now if he's asking and saying, hey get me back in there there's no place else for me to go this entire year

and don't tell me i'm sitting until next year and they did that form that could warrant a big smile

but i feel like there's more i just feel it i

100

don't i haven't been told this isn't my way of like easing into something i wasn't supposed to mention

101

but i i feel that alex is likely to be fighting volkov

102

which is likely to be a number one contenders match and

103

if that comes on the same night which i believe

104

that it will i believe

105

that was the smile as i got my way i got my fight i got on madison square garden

106

if if that is the case that is really an extravaganza of heavyweights

107

and if i'm wrong about volkov then you're gonna insert pavlitch and if i'm wrong about that that, then I've got this whole thing backwards.

108

But, that sounds right.

109

A number one contenders match between Volkov and Alex, that sounds right.

110

Now, that has the potential to deliver one thing that you'd rather not have,

111

but it's something you deal with all the time, which is it would set up a rematch with God, whether that was a rematch for Alex or a rematch with Volkov.

112

It would set up a rematch.

113

I think the UFC likes to have a flexibility to make a fresh match when they can.

114

But it still sounds right.

115

To act as though Piera that's done

116

so much isn't going to get another opportunity is just being a jerk if you say that.

117

And you're being a bigger jerk to act as though Volkov doesn't deserve something very special.

118

And the one thing that Volkov doesn't have, Volkov doesn't understand the game.

119

but but the one thing that he he hasn't had that can benefit him is the right opponent

120

that if i'm not a guy that's going to play the game hey listen plenty of them don't

121

khabib went on to be a massive star he didn't play

122

the game chuck liddell never played the game went on to

123

run an entire era possibly the most recognizable mma fighter in

124

history he didn't play the game either islam doesn't play the game so there's a way there's definitely a way

125

But one thing that all those guys had was an opponent who did.

126

An opponent who did get it.

127

And that alone, my association, can elevate you.

128

And may I suggest, Alex Pierre plays the game.

129

If Volkov gets on a docket at MSG opposite Alex Pierre, it's a tremendous spot for Volkov.

130

Shaping up to be a tremendous card.

131

trying to do my part.

132

They gave me this info to get this info to you guys.

133

Hope you enjoy.

134

Josh Hokett is one win away.

135

Think about where he was one year ago today.

136

Now he is one win away from being the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

137

Thank you.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
