- 0:22Speaker 3: Trump said there's gonna be eight to nine title fights
- 0:24Speaker 3: at the White House USC event, and that there are
- 0:26Speaker 3: I guess in quotes withholding.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Okay, there's only eight weight classes, so how's there gonna
- 0:33Speaker 1: be nine title fights? May be a fight maybe out
- 0:36Speaker 1: of BMF, maybe have all them, I guess, But that's
- 0:39Speaker 1: kind of a crazy thing. We're gonna have twenty title fights.
- 0:43Speaker 1: All the title fights has ever been? Did he say
- 0:47Speaker 1: any matchups? I didn't say who.
- 0:48Speaker 3: He just said they're gonna I like, I see if
- 0:50Speaker 3: there's even like a tweet about it, but I just
- 0:52Speaker 3: lopped talking about it. It's like a I don't know,
- 0:54Speaker 3: press conference or something.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Well, if they don't do John Jones at the White House,
- 0:59Speaker 1: I think it'd be a travesty. For sure. You need
- 1:02Speaker 1: to do that. They have. Come on, Dana is like,
- 1:05Speaker 1: you can't count on them, You can't fucking count on them?
- 1:07Speaker 1: Come on, Stop.
- 1:08Speaker 4: When he wants to. He's gonna make it happen at
- 1:11Speaker 4: the White House.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Come on, John Jones versus. Let's see what does it
- 1:15Speaker 1: say here? Donald Trump predicts eight or nine champions championship fights.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Uh okay, it would literally have to be every weight
- 1:25Speaker 1: class fighting for the title, which would be nuts. Everyone
- 1:30Speaker 1: everyone's a championship fight. Everyone's a legendary type of fighter. Yeah,
- 1:35Speaker 1: he's actually holding back fights right now for six months,
- 1:38Speaker 1: so you can do it in the fifteenth of June.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Trump continued, uh, seemingly meaning fourteenth of June. Uh yeah, Uh,
- 1:47Speaker 1: arena's gonna be five thousand or six thousand seats right
- 1:50Speaker 1: in the front door of the White House, one hundred
- 1:52Speaker 1: thousand people in the back where they're putting up eight
- 1:56Speaker 1: or ten very big screens. What kind of fucking security
- 1:59Speaker 1: are they gonna have for this?
- 2:00Speaker 4: Gotta be insane?
- 2:01Speaker 1: Yeah, are you trying to get on this? I mean,
- 2:06Speaker 1: not really, not really.
- 2:09Speaker 4: I I can't imagine, like you said, the security, the
- 2:12Speaker 4: behind the scenes, how much stuff's really gonna happen. I'm
- 2:14Speaker 4: just like a lot.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Of weird pressure too, because it's like all the security
- 2:19Speaker 1: and the protocols, all that extra ship in your mind
- 2:22Speaker 1: before you have to go out there and fight.
- 2:24Speaker 4: Yeah, it just seems like a lot, like a lot
- 2:25Speaker 4: more than what it needs to be. I'm sure it's
- 2:26Speaker 4: gonna be cool to watch, you know, kind of like
- 2:28Speaker 4: what was that? Uh yeah, kind of cool to watch
- 2:31Speaker 4: like that.
- 2:32Speaker 1: But also you're fighting outside, Yes.
- 2:36Speaker 4: That's what I like. What are they gonna do? Put
- 2:37Speaker 4: a roof over it? Like what happens toff?
- 2:40Speaker 1: What if it's hot and muggy? That's gonna affect people.
- 2:43Speaker 4: I've watched them do outside fights in Louisiana.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Oh God, Louisiana is the You can cut that air.
- 2:49Speaker 4: You gotta see everyone's slipping and sliding.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It's so human. That's terrible. Did you ever see that
- 2:55Speaker 1: King of the Cage fight that they did where it
- 2:56Speaker 1: was raining.
- 2:57Speaker 4: I've seen the highlight of it, but I never watched
- 2:59Speaker 4: the whole.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Yeah, it was King of the Cage wet and wild
- 3:01Speaker 1: and it rained out. This was in the day when
- 3:04Speaker 1: we used to have to put on fights at Indian casinos.
- 3:07Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Eddie Brabbot was doing the commentary back then,
- 3:10Speaker 1: and they it rained out, and so they were like,
- 3:14Speaker 1: what do you guys want to do? And everybody's like, well,
- 3:16Speaker 1: we want to get paid, so I guess we have
- 3:18Speaker 1: to fight. So they fought in the fucking rain. I
- 3:21Speaker 1: mean it was crazy, because how you do that. I
- 3:24Speaker 1: don't remember what the canvas was made out of. It
- 3:27Speaker 1: might have been slick. It might have been like a
- 3:30Speaker 1: vinyl camp. It might it might not have been like
- 3:32Speaker 1: a canvas like the UFCS canvas, which is actual canvas.
- 3:35Speaker 1: It might have been like a jiu jitsu matt type situation, which.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Was in Louisiana with the humans. I can't imagine the rain.
- 3:41Speaker 4: The rain's got to be crazy pouring.
- 3:43Speaker 1: It was pouring down on people. See if you can
- 3:45Speaker 1: find some highlights of King of the Cage wet and wild.
- 3:48Speaker 4: It's got to be worse than blood on the canvas,
- 3:51Speaker 4: blood on the vinyl, right, yeah, it has to be
- 3:53Speaker 4: the worst, just doesn't stop.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Just how bad are those fucking logos? Did the logos
- 3:59Speaker 1: get problematic when they get wet in the middle, Yeah,
- 4:03Speaker 1: in the middle of the octagon. I don't know. I
- 4:04Speaker 1: hear it is. Yeah, look at that. Look at that
- 4:07Speaker 1: that is like that looks it's hard to tell what
- 4:09Speaker 1: it actually is, but it looks like like vinyl. Yeah,
- 4:14Speaker 1: These guys are fighting with shoes on, which helps a little.
- 4:16Speaker 1: You see, this is back when there was like zero rules.
- 4:22Speaker 4: That's hilarious.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Look at these these guys are barefoot. Look these guys
- 4:25Speaker 1: sliding around. This is so crazy. They throw bunches and slipping.
- 4:30Speaker 1: This is like a total like like Whinos liquor store.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Imagine everyone didn't know it was raining. Like, man, you
- 4:39Speaker 4: got rocked like thirty times? No, bro, I didn't get.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Rocked, right, how do you judge? Like what shots do damage?
- 4:46Speaker 1: This is like so silly. Oh look they got a
- 4:48Speaker 1: guy come out here with us a thing to slide
- 4:51Speaker 1: the water off the side. Yeah, that's not helping. This
- 4:54Speaker 1: is so crazy they're doing this. Look the fighters are helping.
- 4:58Speaker 1: The fighters are moving towels around. Is so ridiculous.
- 5:01Speaker 4: You get an extra thirty seconds break if you wipe
- 5:03Speaker 4: off the canvas.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Yeah right, that's funny. That's funny. Yeah, So who knows
- 5:09Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. I guess they'll probably have to have
- 5:11Speaker 1: some sort of a roof over it. But what if
- 5:13Speaker 1: it's like ninety eight degrees.
- 5:14Speaker 4: Outside, it's gonna be crazy.
- 5:15Speaker 1: It's June in Baltimore or in Maryland. Rather and you
- 5:19Speaker 1: know d C. Yeah, whatever that is. It's like d
- 5:22Speaker 1: C is, it's not even a state. DC gets hot,
- 5:26Speaker 1: it gets hot.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Yeah, summer, it's gonna be crazy. Yeah. I always wonder
- 5:29Speaker 4: like how much behind the scenes where it goes into,
- 5:31Speaker 4: like for the sphere, for example, because obviously they have
- 5:34Speaker 4: everything else down to a science.
- 5:35Speaker 1: But maybe redo that that's gonna be crazy. Abu Dhabi,
- 5:39Speaker 1: that's right. We did a live one outdoor in Abu Dhabi.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I remember that. That was when bj fought Frankie Edgar Wow. Yeah.
- 5:47Speaker 1: And Anderson, God, Damian Maya, Damian Maya. That's right, that's right. Oh,
- 5:55Speaker 1: that's right. That was. That was like Damien Anderson and
- 5:58Speaker 1: Damien had real beef, and so Soon was like yelling
- 6:00Speaker 1: at him in the first round, trying to kill him
- 6:02Speaker 1: in the first round, and then he kind of ran
- 6:03Speaker 1: out of gas and so you just kind of coasted
- 6:06Speaker 1: for the remainder of the fight. And Dana was really
- 6:08Speaker 1: pissed because he just coasted and won a decision. Put
- 6:13Speaker 1: that back out there, I guess. But that wasn't good dude,
- 6:16Speaker 1: by the way. And Abu Dabi, they had these bugs
- 6:19Speaker 1: that were flying around the side of the small birds.
- 6:22Speaker 1: It was. It was crazy. I was like, this is
- 6:24Speaker 1: because you know, you're in the desert. It's very weird,
- 6:27Speaker 1: very weird having an outdoor fight in the desert.
- 6:30Speaker 4: It's like mosquitos in Louisiana. Man, they come out of
- 6:32Speaker 4: there and swamp water and I don't know what they're doing,
- 6:34Speaker 4: but they're huge.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Well, back in the day, they used to have fights
- 6:37Speaker 1: like that in Vegas. They used to have boxing matches
- 6:40Speaker 1: outside Caesar's palace. Used to have them outside. Yeah, even
- 6:44Speaker 1: find some of those, uh, I know. I think like
- 6:49Speaker 1: they had some good fights outside, like some World championship
- 6:53Speaker 1: fights that were outside Caesar's Palace.
- 6:56Speaker 4: I think it'd be cool to say you did, but
- 6:58Speaker 4: I don't think I want to do it at this level.
- 7:00Speaker 1: He does go close, close, Brenda Allen, you're knocking at
- 7:04Speaker 1: the door, dude, you're right there, You're right there.
- 7:06Speaker 4: It's crazy. I just saw Jemaiah made a post today
- 7:09Speaker 4: saying that he's he's only gonna do one more at
- 7:11Speaker 4: eighty five and then he's going up what Yeah, my
- 7:14Speaker 4: wife said he's going to.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Go to two of five.
- 7:15Speaker 4: That's what he said.
- 7:16Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 7:17Speaker 4: She translated for me. It was in Portuguese.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Oh wow, look at this, that's Caesar Spouse.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Dang.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy.
- 7:25Speaker 4: I never knew that never.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, they had big fights there too. Look at
- 7:31Speaker 1: how big that is. Oh my god, that's so crazy.
- 7:34Speaker 1: But again, Vegas outside must be so hot.
- 7:38Speaker 4: It has to be that dry heat is something that's crazy.
- 7:42Speaker 4: Imagine being all the way in the back of that thing.
- 7:44Speaker 4: You ain't seeing nothing. They don't got no screen up
- 7:46Speaker 4: for the TV or nothing.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Who is that right there? Who is there? Oh, Tommy
- 7:50Speaker 1: Hearns fought there, Bro Tommy Hearns. Berto Durant was outside.
- 7:54Speaker 1: That's crazy. In nineteen eighty four.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Wow, that's where before my time.
- 8:00Speaker 1: I get yeah, a way before. I guess that was.
- 8:02Speaker 1: They probably didn't even have an arena back then that
- 8:05Speaker 1: could keep those guys in it. I wonder when they
- 8:08Speaker 1: started putting arenas in Vegas.
- 8:10Speaker 4: That's a good question.
- 8:11Speaker 1: It was probably it probably started for those big boxing matches. Yeah, Perplexity, Yeah,
- 8:17Speaker 1: as Perplexity our sponsor. When did they start putting an
- 8:20Speaker 1: arena in Vegas? I wisa say ninety because I think
- 8:30Speaker 1: Vegas in the beginning was just all about gambling and
- 8:32Speaker 1: if there was a show, it was at a showroom
- 8:34Speaker 1: in Vegas. Like you know, if you went to see
- 8:36Speaker 1: Sinatra or something like that. It was probably just a
- 8:38Speaker 1: couple thousand people. Probably wasn't that big.
- 8:40Speaker 4: It's crazy to see it, like how Vegas is growing,
- 8:42Speaker 4: like even like before my time, I see pictures. But
- 8:44Speaker 4: even since, like I thought, what amateur worlds in Vegas?
- 8:48Speaker 4: I wasn't even old enough to go into casino. So
- 8:50Speaker 4: they had to like walk me around in the Flamingo.
- 8:53Speaker 4: I believe.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Oh that's crazy. It couldn't go in the casino and
- 8:56Speaker 1: do nothing.
- 8:56Speaker 4: If I walked on the floor, they were on me.
- 8:58Speaker 4: I'm like, bro, I don't how old.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Eighteen, Oh wow.
- 9:02Speaker 4: Seventeen eighteen, No, eighteen, yeah, eighteen, about ten nineteen, and man,
- 9:06Speaker 4: they were on me. I'm talking about like they must
- 9:08Speaker 4: have had a watch on me. I stepped on the
- 9:10Speaker 4: floor just to go across to get like to the
- 9:12Speaker 4: drink machine.
- 9:13Speaker 1: M well, that was probably a big concern that if
- 9:17Speaker 1: you have underage competitors and then they're wandering around the casino,
- 9:20Speaker 1: they could lose their license.
- 9:21Speaker 4: Yeah, because we stayed at the link it was brand
- 9:23Speaker 4: new at the time, and then we walked across to Flamingo.
- 9:26Speaker 4: We fought there every every time until the finals. The
- 9:29Speaker 4: finals was in the UFC Expo in the middle of
- 9:31Speaker 4: the expo, which was cool because they had like the
- 9:33Speaker 4: Hall of Fame ceremony going on. You were there, I
- 9:36Speaker 4: seen you. Yeah, yeah, so it was cool. But uh yeah,
- 9:39Speaker 4: it's crazy just to see it from there till till now,
- 9:41Speaker 4: like how much it's growing and change and wow, it's
- 9:45Speaker 4: pretty crazy.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Like when did you first start training? How old were you?
- 9:48Speaker 4: Thirteen?
- 9:48Speaker 1: And what did you start with jiu jitsu?
- 9:51Speaker 4: I didn't even like really mean to to be honest, Like,
- 9:53Speaker 4: I was playing football. I love football, and my brother
- 9:57Speaker 4: came home because he switched schools and his friend was like, hey,
- 9:59Speaker 4: you want to do you soon. We was watching you know,
- 10:01Speaker 4: UFC on the weekends. I was like Randy Cotur, Chuck
- 10:03Speaker 4: Ladell Trilogy, all those guys. So we watched them on
- 10:06Speaker 4: the weekends and he asked. So we went there and
- 10:10Speaker 4: looked and I was still playing football with football season,
- 10:12Speaker 4: and but I was like, you want to try it.
- 10:15Speaker 4: I was like I watched the class and I was like, Dad,
- 10:17Speaker 4: I want to do it, and he's like, okay, we'll
- 10:19Speaker 4: go use the trial g I was like, Dad, I
- 10:20Speaker 4: don't want to borrow ge, can we keep buy me?
- 10:22Speaker 4: When my parents didn't have much money were my dad
- 10:24Speaker 4: was just starting to do okay for himself at that point.
- 10:26Speaker 4: He's like, if I buy you this, gee, I promise
- 10:29Speaker 4: you for the rest of the year, you're coming three
- 10:31Speaker 4: times a week at least. I was like, yes, sir.
- 10:34Speaker 4: So it started and never looked back. A couple months later,
- 10:37Speaker 4: my brother and my dad joined me and we did
- 10:39Speaker 4: it all together for a little while. Then my brother
- 10:41Speaker 4: found girls and he went his way. So, yeah, it's
- 10:45Speaker 4: been a long time.
- 10:46Speaker 1: That's derailed a lot of young prospects.
- 10:50Speaker 4: It definitely got him, It definitely got him. Man, bad
- 10:53Speaker 4: life took him elsewhere, and I don't know luckily I stayed.
- 10:56Speaker 4: He would have been better than me though.
- 10:57Speaker 1: He was a lot tougher and yeah, but it's as
- 11:00Speaker 1: the older brother. It's usually the younger brother that winds
- 11:03Speaker 1: up being the real good fighter. Yeah, he goes the
- 11:05Speaker 1: young that's the thing. That's the thing you learned resilience.
- 11:09Speaker 1: You learn how to be the nail, you know, and
- 11:12Speaker 1: the older brother oftentimes is too comfortable being the hammer.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Yeah, but my dad would put him in his place.
- 11:17Speaker 4: So luckily he was used to being in hal a
- 11:19Speaker 4: little bit too. You know, my dad's a big man.
- 11:23Speaker 4: So yeah, man, life is crazy.
- 11:25Speaker 1: So when did you start striking?
- 11:28Speaker 4: Well, my dad box when he was younger and his
- 11:30Speaker 4: his grandfather taught him how to box, and he was
- 11:33Speaker 4: like he did something like one like a golden gloves
- 11:37Speaker 4: in the military or something back when they had like
- 11:39Speaker 4: the boxing gloves that were made like horse hair.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Oh wow.
- 11:42Speaker 4: Yeah, So he taught my dad to box, and so
- 11:45Speaker 4: my box. My dad box in high school. So he
- 11:47Speaker 4: was kind of teaching me a little stuff here and
- 11:49Speaker 4: there growing up. But you know how it is, man
- 11:50Speaker 4: who listens to their father. Now I look back and
- 11:53Speaker 4: I'm like, man, I wish I would have listened more,
- 11:54Speaker 4: and I say stuff that he was like, what I
- 11:56Speaker 4: tell you ten years ago, you know. But I started
- 11:59Speaker 4: striking probably like fifteen, maybe fifteen and a half somewhere
- 12:04Speaker 4: around there. But it was all grown men back then,
- 12:06Speaker 4: especially where I came up at. There's no like beginner's
- 12:08Speaker 4: classes orthing like that. And these guys are twenty four,
- 12:11Speaker 4: twenty five, twenty six. I mean there's been a couple
- 12:15Speaker 4: of times, man, I got hit and I thought my
- 12:16Speaker 4: jaw was broken. I start crying, I mean like smack,
- 12:18Speaker 4: and it was just like I couldn't open my mouth.
- 12:20Speaker 1: And that's the problem with a lot of boxing gyms
- 12:24Speaker 1: in particular, is that when new guys come in, they
- 12:27Speaker 1: just beat them up. Yeah they did.
- 12:29Speaker 4: They beat me up.
- 12:29Speaker 1: They don't. They don't box you like spar you. Rather
- 12:33Speaker 1: they fight you, and they know how to fight and
- 12:36Speaker 1: you don't know how to fight.
- 12:37Speaker 4: You know. One of my best friends who was with
- 12:39Speaker 4: me like I started with him, was Kurt Holliba and
- 12:42Speaker 4: him and Dustin Poier were the two biggest where we
- 12:44Speaker 4: were from at that time. So I remember Tim Crater
- 12:47Speaker 4: reached out to Kurt crazy Tim Yeah, and he was like, hey,
- 12:51Speaker 4: why don't y'all come smart? We got Dustin. I think
- 12:52Speaker 4: Dustin was just about to go to WC or he was.
- 12:56Speaker 4: He was right around there at that time, so like,
- 12:59Speaker 4: let's go, KURTZ want to go, Yeah, let's go. So
- 13:01Speaker 4: I go over there for sparing and I'm sparring this guy.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Man. He had to be like.
- 13:07Speaker 4: Five foot one, like he was tiny short and h
- 13:10Speaker 4: Kurt goes with Dustin and I'm sitting here trying to
- 13:13Speaker 4: watch them go because I mean they're throwing, they're fighting,
- 13:16Speaker 4: they're not sparring. And this guy's hit me and I'm like,
- 13:19Speaker 4: get off me, like trying to watch. And the same
- 13:22Speaker 4: day like so we sparred like I don't know, four
- 13:25Speaker 4: or five rounds. It was nice and then and I'm
- 13:27Speaker 4: only like fourteen fifteen years old at this time. And
- 13:30Speaker 4: then it would start on the ground in your guard
- 13:33Speaker 4: and I go with Dustin because everyone like said my
- 13:35Speaker 4: jiu jitsu was good. It was for that time, but
- 13:37Speaker 4: I was still just a kid.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Dude.
- 13:39Speaker 4: He hit me so hard when they said literally when
- 13:41Speaker 4: they said go, it was like boom right in my mouth.
- 13:45Speaker 4: And I was like, well, I guess this is what
- 13:47Speaker 4: we're doing. I hurried up and grabbed and try to
- 13:49Speaker 4: sweep and all that kind of stuff. But man, I
- 13:51Speaker 4: never forget that moment to this day. Like last time
- 13:53Speaker 4: I turned with Dustin, I was like, hey, that time
- 13:55Speaker 4: you beat me up, Like I'm not little no more.
- 13:59Speaker 1: You' three week clocks.
- 14:00Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:02Speaker 4: So, like I see all the guys like that, there's
- 14:04Speaker 4: one guy in particular. If I see him, I told
- 14:06Speaker 4: everyone I'm whooping his ass. One guy you don't name him,
- 14:09Speaker 4: his name's j Mart. Oh, okay, great guy, nice guy,
- 14:13Speaker 4: but training. I never forget the day he hit me
- 14:15Speaker 4: so hard and thought my jaw was broken. I'm like
- 14:17Speaker 4: and I was little, Like now I'm a grown man.
- 14:21Speaker 1: It is so hard to find like reasonable sparring. It's
- 14:26Speaker 1: so hard to find people that are like willing to
- 14:29Speaker 1: not hit you full blast and like preserve each other,
- 14:33Speaker 1: you know, like, hey, we're all in this together. You
- 14:35Speaker 1: help me, I help And if you can get that,
- 14:38Speaker 1: my god, you progress so much faster if you're in there.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Just there's something to be said for going through the
- 14:44Speaker 1: fire and understand what it's like to be in a
- 14:46Speaker 1: war with guys. But there's something also to be said
- 14:49Speaker 1: for like learning how to recover and like having more
- 14:53Speaker 1: training sessions and not getting concussions all the time.
- 14:57Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like Sean Jordan was the first to tell
- 14:59Speaker 4: me that was like, uh, he came and trained and obviously,
- 15:02Speaker 4: you know, Sean's huge, super athletic guy, heavyweight, you know,
- 15:07Speaker 4: and I'm talking about I watched him and this other
- 15:10Speaker 4: big man they were sparn and they was literally like
- 15:12Speaker 4: touching each other. So I asked him after because everyone
- 15:14Speaker 4: else is fighting and I'm like, man, what how come
- 15:18Speaker 4: you don't spar so hard? He looked at me and
- 15:20Speaker 4: started laughing. He's like running At this time, I think
- 15:24Speaker 4: he was like two seventy somewhere around there, and he's like,
- 15:27Speaker 4: I'm two hundred and seventy pounds. I fought some of
- 15:29Speaker 4: the biggest guys, like biggest names in the world at
- 15:31Speaker 4: the time. He's like, I know how to fight. If
- 15:34Speaker 4: I if I go full blast or he goes full blast,
- 15:36Speaker 4: one of us is gonna get hurt and then we're
- 15:37Speaker 4: not gonna fight anymore. Like we're not gonna We're not
- 15:39Speaker 4: gonna make money for our family. So I always took
- 15:42Speaker 4: that in and obviously I'm not like a huge guy
- 15:45Speaker 4: like they were. But it's like, even like when I
- 15:47Speaker 4: was training in Florida, I knew when me and RoboCop
- 15:50Speaker 4: go we're fighting, Like I know it.
- 15:53Speaker 1: That guy's scary. You know both, you both you guys, Like,
- 15:55Speaker 1: how the fuck are you making one hundred and eighty
- 15:57Speaker 1: five pounds and you're on a smaller side in comparison
- 16:01Speaker 1: to him.
- 16:01Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, it's my weight cuts way harder than his,
- 16:04Speaker 4: is it. Yeah, he walks, dude. Surprisingly, I asked him
- 16:07Speaker 4: before because he has you know, he has a great
- 16:09Speaker 4: like physique. Right, he's a big guy. When I see him, like, bro,
- 16:13Speaker 4: how much you wait? He's like, oh, like two of five.
- 16:15Speaker 4: I said, no way, no way. He's like, I'll step
- 16:18Speaker 4: on the scale right now, steps on the scale two
- 16:19Speaker 4: of six.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I was like, no way, I got bird bones. That
- 16:24Speaker 1: doesn't even make.
- 16:24Speaker 4: Any sense, no idea. I thought the same thing. But me,
- 16:26Speaker 4: I step on the scale. I mean right now, I'm
- 16:28Speaker 4: probably like two twenty five. But I haven't done nothing
- 16:30Speaker 4: since I fought. But I stay around two fifteen to twenty.
- 16:32Speaker 4: And I'm the runt of my family, so like my
- 16:34Speaker 4: body wants to get bigger. But I'm like, uh, I
- 16:36Speaker 4: got unfinished business here. So yeah, Joe's Joe's a big
- 16:41Speaker 4: eighty five or Joe Piper.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's he has a hard cut. He's huge.
- 16:45Speaker 4: He has a hard cut. That's what I'm like. When
- 16:46Speaker 4: he gets yeah, like, Nichole is that guy?
- 16:49Speaker 1: How is that guy won eighty five? Due? When I
- 16:53Speaker 1: stand next to him, I'm like, how same? I can't
- 16:55Speaker 1: believe he walks around two of five because that doesn't
- 16:57Speaker 1: even make sense.
- 16:58Speaker 4: That's what I've seen him. Man, Hey, if it's a
- 17:00Speaker 4: lot of guys strike me down now because I think
- 17:03Speaker 4: that scale he might well, we were all using it.
- 17:05Speaker 4: He probably had heels on the ground there he was.
- 17:08Speaker 4: I was super surprised. My boy too, Co was with me.
- 17:11Speaker 4: We were all in the room. I was like, because
- 17:12Speaker 4: I called him out on everyone else wouldn't say it.
- 17:14Speaker 1: I was like, no, was it after training?
- 17:17Speaker 4: After training?
- 17:18Speaker 1: Okay, and both of you after training.
- 17:19Speaker 4: Yeah, But and it wasn't a hard day like that
- 17:21Speaker 4: day was not a hard day like we weren't like sweat.
- 17:24Speaker 4: It wasn't like a five six pound practice day. It
- 17:26Speaker 4: was a pretty chill day.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Indeed, week surprised. If he was only two eleven, I'd
- 17:30Speaker 1: be surprised, dude.
- 17:32Speaker 4: But I know like when he had on other fights. Uh,
- 17:35Speaker 4: he was a little bit bigger because he wanted to be.
- 17:37Speaker 4: I didn't understand. But still that you know, but Joe,
- 17:40Speaker 4: I think, well the ridder probably has to be the
- 17:44Speaker 4: biggest eighty five.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Or like he's enormous. He was.
- 17:46Speaker 4: He was bigger than I expected. And I seen him,
- 17:48Speaker 4: but I like in the gym, I never went close
- 17:50Speaker 4: to him because I wrote with him like one time
- 17:52Speaker 4: in a in a quick thing. It was like a
- 17:54Speaker 4: minute long, but like still, I was surprised when when
- 17:57Speaker 4: we stepped in there, like we step up to each
- 17:59Speaker 4: other's face all and I was like, I was affecting
- 18:01Speaker 4: to be a little bit bigger. I don't know, maybe
- 18:02Speaker 4: I'll make everyone bigger in my head. But he was
- 18:05Speaker 4: really long, Like even when we stood next to each other,
- 18:07Speaker 4: his hands felt like they touched his knees. I was like,
- 18:10Speaker 4: all right, it's gonna be interesting.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Yeah. I was surprised when when I first met him
- 18:14Speaker 1: in the UFC, when he first came over, I was like,
- 18:17Speaker 1: because I saw him fighting one and I knew he
- 18:19Speaker 1: fought it. I believe he fought at two o five
- 18:21Speaker 1: and eighty five over there right right, And when I
- 18:24Speaker 1: saw him, I was like, how fuck are you making
- 18:26Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five pounds? Like you look like
- 18:28Speaker 1: a light heavyweight. This episode is brought to you by

- 19:32Speaker 1: Happy Dad Hard Seltzer Tea and Lemonade is a malt
- 19:36Speaker 1: alcohol located in Orange County, California.
- 19:39Speaker 4: They were worried about that when he came over because
- 19:42Speaker 4: he never made a real true eighty five because you know,
- 19:44Speaker 4: they have the hydration hydration so he can weigh in
- 19:47Speaker 4: it two a four but fully hydrated, and they still
- 19:50Speaker 4: know how to finesse that like, I just learned, like
- 19:52Speaker 4: how they finesse that, how they finesse that. So they
- 19:54Speaker 4: drink a whole bunch of water and then they go
- 19:56Speaker 4: They don't pee, they don't do nothing. They drink that
- 19:58Speaker 4: water and then go cut the weight. It's days in
- 20:00Speaker 4: their stomach. So when they piss, piss it out, it's clear,
- 20:03Speaker 4: it's all good. So they they test that hydration. They
- 20:06Speaker 4: test that they're hydrated, but they're really not. They already
- 20:09Speaker 4: went sweat out a whole bunch. So they drink it.
- 20:11Speaker 4: They just hold it. That's all the guys do it.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Some guys mess it up, but that's the majority how
- 20:15Speaker 4: everyone does it. And so they so you just.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Drink a whole ton of water and just hold your
- 20:20Speaker 1: piss as long as possible.
- 20:21Speaker 4: Yeah, they make sure like they probably drink like two
- 20:24Speaker 4: cups and then they're just gonna hold and then they'll
- 20:27Speaker 4: go cut for like an hour like sweat sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat.
- 20:30Speaker 4: And then they say that when they show up to
- 20:32Speaker 4: the hydration, that's I've heard that from like four people
- 20:34Speaker 4: that have done it, and they said, yeah, bro, I
- 20:36Speaker 4: learned from this guy, and I learned from this guy.
- 20:37Speaker 4: I was like Wow.
- 20:38Speaker 1: I interested that. I there had to be some sort
- 20:40Speaker 1: of a catch too.
- 20:41Speaker 4: Yeah, And they say it's a lot. It's more unhealthy
- 20:45Speaker 4: than like cutting weight over here to like really make
- 20:47Speaker 4: the weight. Because I don't know. I'm not a scientist
- 20:50Speaker 4: or a doctor, but they my friends that are into
- 20:53Speaker 4: all that stuff forre like explaining like how it works.
- 20:55Speaker 4: And I was like, man, that's crazy. But he was
- 20:57Speaker 4: a guy that never made a true one eighties. They
- 21:00Speaker 4: were worried, and then he did. And I know, like
- 21:02Speaker 4: I know for a fact he's come in. I don't
- 21:04Speaker 4: know what he came in on my fight week, but
- 21:06Speaker 4: I think the one before that, he came in Monday.
- 21:10Speaker 4: I believe it two ten to ten to fight week.
- 21:13Speaker 4: So I was like, shit, I come in at two
- 21:15Speaker 4: of six and I'm stressing. I'm like, ah, two or
- 21:18Speaker 4: three's like my number.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Well, I think that contributes to the fact that he gases. Yeah,
- 21:22Speaker 1: I just I think it's just too much of a strain.
- 21:25Speaker 1: And he's he's talked kind of vaguely, not not real
- 21:29Speaker 1: clearly about problems that he's had with his health, and
- 21:33Speaker 1: you know, I've got to think that has to do
- 21:35Speaker 1: with weight cuts. Yeah, so many guys have kidney problem
- 21:37Speaker 1: for sure, for sure.
- 21:38Speaker 4: And it's weird because like in the fight with him,
- 21:40Speaker 4: like I knew, like in the first round to feel
- 21:45Speaker 4: like obviously adrenaline's flow and everything, so even everything's intensified, right,
- 21:49Speaker 4: so I could feel how tight he was squeezing. I
- 21:53Speaker 4: mean he was squeezing like his legs everything he was
- 21:56Speaker 4: trying to where I couldn't move. So I just make
- 21:58Speaker 4: little adjustments and make can move a little bit. He'd
- 22:01Speaker 4: punch it very rarely, but I was like, there's impossible.
- 22:04Speaker 4: It's impossible for you to keep this up for twenty
- 22:06Speaker 4: five minutes.
- 22:07Speaker 1: It's impossible.
- 22:08Speaker 4: I know you're not gonna do it, so just bide
- 22:10Speaker 4: my time. Plus I didn't want to guess either because
- 22:14Speaker 4: it was short for me, short notice, five five rounds.
- 22:16Speaker 4: You know, there's a little worry somebody. I knew he couldn't.
- 22:19Speaker 4: I knew we couldn't, and I like, we did a
- 22:23Speaker 4: lot of prep for him specifically, and we saw the
- 22:25Speaker 4: Russian that he fought in one, and I was like,
- 22:29Speaker 4: we had our game plan before we watched it, and
- 22:30Speaker 4: then we watched it was like here we go. Yeah,
- 22:33Speaker 4: that's why everyone asked me, like what's gonna happen. I'm
- 22:34Speaker 4: gonna break him. He's tough. He is tough, but you know, like.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Well, if he comes out with that mentality, if he's
- 22:41Speaker 1: trying to go full blast on the first round in
- 22:44Speaker 1: a five round fight, like wee right, exactly, nobody could
- 22:48Speaker 1: really do that.
- 22:49Speaker 4: Yeah, And like I told the guys, like because obviously
- 22:51Speaker 4: he trains where I was training, and they all knew,
- 22:54Speaker 4: they all know me, you know, so it's like if
- 22:57Speaker 4: you think you're gonna come out here in it, and
- 22:59Speaker 4: he's in his interviews like I'm a front runner, I'm
- 23:02Speaker 4: not good long, but I approach a three round fight
- 23:04Speaker 4: differently than I approach a five round fight. So I
- 23:07Speaker 4: was like, all right, we'll see, and it kind of backfired.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Well, it was a big win for you. Thank you,
- 23:12Speaker 1: huge win. You look fantastic in that fight. You know.
- 23:15Speaker 1: It's like there's just so many talented people in the division.
- 23:19Speaker 1: It's so hard to stand out. And sometimes, you know,
- 23:23Speaker 1: you take a guy like Deritter who just got done
- 23:25Speaker 1: stopping Bo Nickel and there's a lot of a lot
- 23:27Speaker 1: of momentum on his side. He looks real good. You
- 23:30Speaker 1: beat Kevin Holland submitted him looks real good and then
- 23:33Speaker 1: you came along and stole that momentum. Yeah, it was.
- 23:36Speaker 4: It was weird, to be honest, because like when he
- 23:38Speaker 4: got there, I was like, I want to fight him
- 23:39Speaker 4: just because like things of like he fought one of
- 23:41Speaker 4: my friends, which now I guess they're best friends, but
- 23:43Speaker 4: who was on se Okay, he took both his titles
- 23:46Speaker 4: from him, right, so like there was no animasy, but
- 23:50Speaker 4: it's like I want to test my your ground guy,
- 23:52Speaker 4: like I'm a ground guy. Let's let's see. And then
- 23:55Speaker 4: it happened. He got there to UFC, and I was like,
- 23:58Speaker 4: I want to fight him, like I was obviously I
- 24:00Speaker 4: think at the time I was like twelve ranked somewhere
- 24:03Speaker 4: around there. But I was like, let him get one
- 24:05Speaker 4: two and obviously his name's gonna carry him, you know.
- 24:10Speaker 4: So that came and I'll never forget. I was leaving
- 24:14Speaker 4: an LSU game. I was in the parking lot. My
- 24:18Speaker 4: manager called and I was like, man, can we just
- 24:21Speaker 4: get a fight please? I've been asking for like three months,
- 24:23Speaker 4: like please, I just want to fight because I'm very
- 24:25Speaker 4: like I get in this mode to where I just
- 24:27Speaker 4: want to fight and I don't. I'll just keep bugging him,
- 24:29Speaker 4: bugging him. You want me to call Mick, you want
- 24:32Speaker 4: me to call like and he was like no, no, no, no,
- 24:35Speaker 4: But anyway, so I stayed on him. He called me.
- 24:37Speaker 4: I was like, Hey, what about uh uh uh the Ritter.
- 24:43Speaker 4: He was like, come on, man, he had just fought
- 24:46Speaker 4: I think he beat Gerald. And he was like, I
- 24:50Speaker 4: think I can make this happen. He texted me back
- 24:52Speaker 4: a couple minutes. Hey, they're good to go. The next
- 24:54Speaker 4: day they called back and they were like, no, they're
- 24:56Speaker 4: not going to get the fight, Like they don't want
- 24:57Speaker 4: this fight. It's it's not the right time. I was like,
- 24:59Speaker 4: all right, They're like, what about Fluffy. I was like,
- 25:00Speaker 4: I asked for him two months ago. So that's when
- 25:03Speaker 4: I ended up fighting Fluffy and it just so happened.
- 25:07Speaker 4: He fought the bon Nickel got all that hype and
- 25:10Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Man.
- 25:11Speaker 4: Again. I was at an LSU practice and they called
- 25:15Speaker 4: me and they were like, hey, uh My manager called
- 25:17Speaker 4: me and he's like, I just want you to know
- 25:20Speaker 4: Fluffy's out. I threw your name in the hat, but
- 25:22Speaker 4: you're not the front runner. It's Paulo Costa. He's the
- 25:25Speaker 4: front runner. But I'm pushing for you because I just
- 25:28Speaker 4: saw Paulo yesterday. I don't know how he's gonna make
- 25:30Speaker 4: eighty five in four weeks.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Yeah, he needs a lot of time to make weight.
- 25:34Speaker 1: He's another guy. Yeah, do you think that it could
- 25:37Speaker 1: ever be possible for guys to just fight without cutting weight?
- 25:41Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be But wouldn't that be better?
- 25:44Speaker 4: It would be nice?
- 25:46Speaker 1: Just wouldn't it be better, like overall for everybody?
- 25:49Speaker 4: I think so? Yeah, for sure.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Like here's like if everybody just was honest about what
- 25:53Speaker 1: they actually weigh, you know, like find let's find out
- 25:56Speaker 1: what everybody actually weighs when you're in shape, like when
- 25:59Speaker 1: you're ready to fight, and make a contract to fight
- 26:02Speaker 1: it that weight. Because this whole weight cutting thing is
- 26:05Speaker 1: just legalized cheating.
- 26:07Speaker 4: It's it's so hard, and some guys are so good
- 26:09Speaker 4: at it, you know, Like how a Perreira, Dude, I
- 26:12Speaker 4: don't know how he made eighty five.
- 26:14Speaker 1: He would weigh two twenty six when he would fight
- 26:16Speaker 1: for the one hundred and eighty five pound title. Crazy,
- 26:18Speaker 1: doesn't even make any sense.
- 26:20Speaker 4: I don't get how you can put on that much weight.
- 26:21Speaker 4: The most I ever put on was this last fight.
- 26:23Speaker 1: I was two or seven, Bro, he gained forty something pounds.
- 26:27Speaker 4: I don't get it.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Forty pounds in a day.
- 26:30Speaker 4: Blows my mind.
- 26:31Speaker 1: What does it feel like? Like? What is it? Do
- 26:33Speaker 1: you ry?
- 26:34Speaker 4: I always wonder that because like this one was. This
- 26:36Speaker 4: was tough for me. One month full diet like I
- 26:39Speaker 4: don't usually have, like, you know, a couple of cheats
- 26:41Speaker 4: and ease into the diet like I'm starting to do
- 26:44Speaker 4: now because I'm hoping to fight in March, so I'm
- 26:46Speaker 4: already gonna start, you know, being cleaner and stuff.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Are you concerned though, that you could get another of
- 26:51Speaker 1: those last minute calls? Like do you think like that?
- 26:54Speaker 1: Like to not get too heavy? Because if so many
- 26:56Speaker 1: calls and says, hey, the big paramount card, somebody fell out,
- 26:59Speaker 1: it's January, can you fight?
- 27:02Speaker 4: I think where I'm at, it would have to be
- 27:04Speaker 4: like an interim title or something like that. Outside of
- 27:08Speaker 4: that right now, Plus like the reason I'm so big
- 27:12Speaker 4: and I was out, like I had fractures in my foot,
- 27:14Speaker 4: so I had to you know.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Did you have fractures on your foot from the fight
- 27:17Speaker 1: or just you had them before in the fight? Oh god?
- 27:20Speaker 4: Yeah, which we didn't know. I just knew it hurt
- 27:22Speaker 4: like and to be honest with you, like I had
- 27:25Speaker 4: them before the fight before that, but I didn't know,
- 27:27Speaker 4: Like I was just like, man, it hurts, like I
- 27:29Speaker 4: thought it was just like a muscle. So I just
- 27:31Speaker 4: would roll it out. They're gonna like, you know, that's
- 27:34Speaker 4: what that was what I would do.
- 27:35Speaker 1: How many fractures.
- 27:36Speaker 4: They said they saw three, but they're small. It was
- 27:40Speaker 4: like different like rate where like the toe meets to
- 27:42Speaker 4: base your foot.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Oh, is it from elbows?
- 27:45Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't It was on my lead
- 27:47Speaker 4: foot too, so I was like, I don't even know,
- 27:49Speaker 4: Like I don't teep a lot because I'm scared of
- 27:51Speaker 4: like stuff like that.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:53Speaker 4: Yeah, but I fought with crazy stuff.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Man.
- 27:55Speaker 4: I tore my whole like acl in half everything when
- 28:00Speaker 4: I fought Paul Craig. Did you really Yeah, when that
- 28:04Speaker 4: cap slicer in half, it.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Just blew your a cl out.
- 28:07Speaker 4: Yes, I didn't know. So like in the second round,
- 28:10Speaker 4: when I go to throw the punch, I think it
- 28:12Speaker 4: was dominant cruise. He was like, oh, they clipped each
- 28:14Speaker 4: other and they showed the replay and it hits my hand.
- 28:16Speaker 4: He never hit like my face or anything.
- 28:18Speaker 1: But your just buckled. Yeah, it gave and.
- 28:20Speaker 4: You can see me reach down to my knee in
- 28:22Speaker 4: that moment. It was crazy. So afterwards we got that.
- 28:26Speaker 4: But I was lucky. Like when it healed, it it
- 28:28Speaker 4: like it fell to the bone, like if they attached
- 28:31Speaker 4: like up up here. Mine just reattached here. So I
- 28:35Speaker 4: just have a little bit more play and it's still
- 28:36Speaker 4: attached luckily.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Really, yeah, that's how you never got surgery. Never.
- 28:41Speaker 4: I was very lucky, insane. There's like three different MRIs
- 28:45Speaker 4: that show like fine torn, half rehealed.
- 28:50Speaker 1: So it was a partial tale.
- 28:51Speaker 4: No, they told me in half, it cut in half
- 28:53Speaker 4: and then like fell and when it fell, I got
- 28:55Speaker 4: lucky and it fell on the bone just lower at
- 28:57Speaker 4: a lower point and it healed on me. Fuse to
- 29:00Speaker 4: the bone itself.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Yes. How long did it take to do that? I
- 29:04Speaker 1: don't know.
- 29:05Speaker 4: The doctor said it could it says it looked like
- 29:06Speaker 4: it was torn maybe like a slight tear before and
- 29:08Speaker 4: that one finished it. And the last MRI was probably
- 29:14Speaker 4: four or five months ago because I had to get
- 29:16Speaker 4: it for something else. Fuse to the bone perfect. You
- 29:19Speaker 4: can see it clear as day. The doctor showed me.
- 29:21Speaker 4: I was like, that's pretty cool.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Did you get stem cells or anything on it? Yeah?
- 29:25Speaker 4: I did. I did. I did do a lot of
- 29:26Speaker 4: stem cells like through the UFC and stuff they sent.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Me that that probably helped itj No, they sent it
- 29:32Speaker 1: to my doctor. They just sent it.
- 29:34Speaker 4: It was nice and they just sent a whole bunch.
- 29:36Speaker 4: Like my doctor was like, man, look how much they sent.
- 29:38Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know what it's for us
- 29:40Speaker 4: to look like, let's go, so we injected that. But yeah, man,
- 29:43Speaker 4: I fight with all crazy stuff because it's like I
- 29:45Speaker 4: don't know.
- 29:47Speaker 1: That's the thing that people need to realize that watch
- 29:49Speaker 1: nobody fights at or very few people, very very rarely.
- 29:53Speaker 4: And I just don't know how to how to pull.
- 29:55Speaker 4: Like I've never pulled from one knock on wood. I
- 29:57Speaker 4: haven't pulled on one fight in my career, and I've
- 30:00Speaker 4: been pretty pretty messed up. I think my worst was
- 30:02Speaker 4: when I fought Eme evolved. To be honest, physically, I
- 30:05Speaker 4: was like like as far as like how my body
- 30:07Speaker 4: was was pretty good, but I didn't realize like how
- 30:10Speaker 4: much of a toll because I like have a thyroid
- 30:12Speaker 4: problem and I went years without getting it checked, and
- 30:16Speaker 4: for like a while I was feeling like real sluggish,
- 30:19Speaker 4: real tired, no sex drive, nothing like. I didn't want
- 30:23Speaker 4: to get out of bed. And my weight was just
- 30:27Speaker 4: steady going up. For the first time in my life
- 30:29Speaker 4: at that point, I hit two twenty and I was like,
- 30:31Speaker 4: what is going on? Like, I'm still training, I'm eating
- 30:34Speaker 4: clean and anyway. I went to a specialist in Florida
- 30:38Speaker 4: and they tested everything like T three, T four and
- 30:40Speaker 4: I never had T three checked ever, and it was
- 30:43Speaker 4: like seven times the normal value whatever that was supposed
- 30:47Speaker 4: to be. I have it on a paper whatever. They
- 30:49Speaker 4: gave me that and they were like, hey, man, I'm
- 30:51Speaker 4: gonna let you know.
- 30:52Speaker 1: I was.
- 30:52Speaker 4: I was fighting in three, three or four weeks in
- 30:54Speaker 4: France and they were like, hey, this is gonna take
- 30:56Speaker 4: a month and a half, two months to regulate and
- 30:59Speaker 4: fully settle out. I was like, I don't got that
- 31:02Speaker 4: kind of time. Just give me enough to where my
- 31:04Speaker 4: weight will come down because I wasn't losing anything. They're like,
- 31:07Speaker 4: it's gonna do that. Don't worry. Within a week or two,
- 31:09Speaker 4: that's gonna happen. I'm still pretty tired, but I just
- 31:12Speaker 4: kept pushing. We get to We went to London first,
- 31:15Speaker 4: stayed there a week because it was cheaper for us
- 31:17Speaker 4: than going to France because he had my friend had
- 31:19Speaker 4: family there. Then we went to France and then I
- 31:23Speaker 4: was still feeling like tired. That was the first camp
- 31:26Speaker 4: in my life. I couldn't do more than two and
- 31:28Speaker 4: a half rounds the whole camp. Really, I by Singer
- 31:33Speaker 4: was the only person that I had to train with.
- 31:34Speaker 4: Greg was hurt. Other guys were out, so I had
- 31:37Speaker 4: Bysinger every day. I paid him to train with me
- 31:40Speaker 4: every day whenever I wanted sparring anything and ask him.
- 31:45Speaker 4: I do good for the first round, halfway through the second.
- 31:48Speaker 4: After that I was dead, like dead. And I'm still
- 31:52Speaker 4: hitting my runs, my lists every training session like I'm
- 31:55Speaker 4: doing everything normal. But man, it was terrible. So the
- 31:59Speaker 4: fight comes and they the commission kind of like did
- 32:05Speaker 4: super weird stuff like I made weight and then like,
- 32:07Speaker 4: oh youre getting drug tested. I'm like, okay, no problem.
- 32:10Speaker 4: They're like, no, no, no, You're gonna get drug tested now,
- 32:12Speaker 4: not the night of the fight like normal. I was
- 32:14Speaker 4: like what I was like, I literally just cut weight,
- 32:17Speaker 4: like I don't got a pee, I'm just now drinking fluid.
- 32:20Speaker 4: They're like, doesn't matter, you can go to your room.
- 32:22Speaker 4: I was like, all right, I'll wait for a couple
- 32:24Speaker 4: of minutes. I waited for like ten minutes. I was like,
- 32:26Speaker 4: hey man, I'm just gonna go to my room try
- 32:28Speaker 4: to sleep. And they were like, uh no, we don't
- 32:31Speaker 4: have enough people. You need to stay here. I stayed
- 32:32Speaker 4: there for two hours. They did finally at Peeed, just
- 32:35Speaker 4: barely Peede, and they did two vials of blood and
- 32:38Speaker 4: they got mad because they did that one they put
- 32:41Speaker 4: on and press the gravity one and they couldn't get enough,
- 32:45Speaker 4: like and they were like dehydrated. Exactly.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Do you think they were fucking with you because you
- 32:49Speaker 1: were fighting in France against the French guy.
- 32:51Speaker 4: It was me and Mory Kanna. We were the US
- 32:53Speaker 4: two and one other person American was that.
- 32:55Speaker 1: When Waikana was fighting Ben wats undernee.
- 32:57Speaker 4: Yes, sir, he bitched about the same thing, but.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Somehow he had we're fucking with you guys.
- 33:02Speaker 4: Them two were up sleeping in their room chilling.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Oh excuse it does not have to be excused. That's
- 33:08Speaker 1: so dirty.
- 33:09Speaker 4: It was.
- 33:10Speaker 1: It was.
- 33:10Speaker 4: It was frustrating. But that's why, like when I still
- 33:12Speaker 4: think he involves a cool guy, you know, like he's
- 33:15Speaker 4: deserved his title shot. I think He's fully earned it,
- 33:17Speaker 4: don't get me wrong, but I want to fight him
- 33:19Speaker 4: again where it's like I sparred him. Like a month
- 33:21Speaker 4: after that, he was at the gym and I showed
- 33:23Speaker 4: up at the gym and we sparred. We had a
- 33:25Speaker 4: good time. But I still think he's a nice guy.
- 33:28Speaker 4: I think he deserved a spot. But I just want
- 33:29Speaker 4: to fight him where everything's right equal and like you said,
- 33:33Speaker 4: we're not going to come in one hundred percent, he's not.
- 33:34Speaker 4: I'm not fine. I don't care if I got a
- 33:37Speaker 4: messed up hand, foot, whatever, but just an equal plate.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Like well, it just sounds like you were a compromised. Look,
- 33:43Speaker 1: that's a good example. That was peoter Jan's first fight
- 33:46Speaker 1: with Morob Man.
- 33:47Speaker 4: He looked great this week.
- 33:48Speaker 1: Fuck what a master class. He looked great. Surprised when
- 33:53Speaker 1: you're going to fight a guy like Morob like that
- 33:55Speaker 1: is the master class put on a clinic.
- 33:58Speaker 4: I didn't, honestly, like, I didn't think he was gonna
- 34:01Speaker 4: be able to do that for five rounds. I thought
- 34:02Speaker 4: you'd have one maybe maybe Max too, And I thought
- 34:04Speaker 4: Morab was just gonna do what Morob does. I was
- 34:07Speaker 4: so wrong.
- 34:07Speaker 1: His training camp must have been hell had to had
- 34:10Speaker 1: to be hell had to. I mean he must have
- 34:13Speaker 1: done something. I mean it looked like it. I saw
- 34:15Speaker 1: some videos of it. He was doing some wild strength
- 34:17Speaker 1: and conditioning and pliometrics, and he knew what he was
- 34:20Speaker 1: in for. That's the thing. If you're gonna fight a
- 34:22Speaker 1: guy like Marab, it's like, you know what the mountain
- 34:24Speaker 1: is ready to climate for sure. And the first time
- 34:27Speaker 1: they fought, apparently he had a fucked up right hands
- 34:30Speaker 1: and he couldn't grapple with it and he couldn't throw
- 34:32Speaker 1: punches with it. So I rewatched the fight. After he
- 34:35Speaker 1: said that, I was like, Oh, he's barely using it,
- 34:37Speaker 1: like barely using his right sense right totally makes sense.
- 34:40Speaker 1: And then also psychologically, if you only got one hand,
- 34:42Speaker 1: that everything now you have to think. You know, you
- 34:45Speaker 1: can't really throw combinations. You have to I want to
- 34:49Speaker 1: know how tough you Ryan. Favor is your favor. When
- 34:51Speaker 1: he fought Mike Brown, he broke both hands bolt hands.
- 34:54Speaker 1: I remember that, and he was throwing elbows bolt hands.
- 34:57Speaker 4: He was one of my favorite fighters. I'll never he
- 35:00Speaker 4: He was a guy that I wanted to be just
- 35:01Speaker 4: like I. Even you could ask my dad, he'll laugh
- 35:03Speaker 4: to this day. I was like, Dad, I don't want
- 35:06Speaker 4: to be like my dad's tall. Everyone's t I don't
- 35:08Speaker 4: want to be tall. I want to be like him.
- 35:10Speaker 4: He was like what, Because that was the fight.
- 35:12Speaker 1: He was a beast. He was a beast back in
- 35:14Speaker 1: the day. You know. By the time he was fighting
- 35:17Speaker 1: in the UFC, I kind of think he had had
- 35:19Speaker 1: some of his best fights already, Like in the w
- 35:22Speaker 1: C days, he was a killer er. The Mike Brown
- 35:27Speaker 1: coming out party. Jos Aaldo has another example of how
- 35:32Speaker 1: tough he is when he fought jose Aldo, and Josey
- 35:35Speaker 1: Aldo killed his leg. Dude killed his leg. It is
- 35:38Speaker 1: the worst after fight leg I've ever seen in my life,
- 35:42Speaker 1: other than Austin Hubbard. You ever see Austin Hubbard. He
- 35:45Speaker 1: got a compartment syndrome and had to have his whole
- 35:47Speaker 1: legs sliced open from the top to the bottom to
- 35:50Speaker 1: alleviate pressure and drain some of the fluids. No, it's
- 35:53Speaker 1: the nastiest injury I've ever seen. I'm a Google excuse me,
- 35:57Speaker 1: look up Austin Hubbard images of I forget the fight.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Oh there it is. Look at his leg, That that
- 36:06Speaker 1: black thing that's his leg. Open. No, yeah, that's his tissue.
- 36:10Speaker 1: Oh my days, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, look at that.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, how insane is that.
- 36:16Speaker 4: He trains in Chicago with me?
- 36:18Speaker 1: Oh?
- 36:18Speaker 4: When I ask him look.
- 36:19Speaker 1: At that image? How fucking insane is that image? That's
- 36:22Speaker 1: his tissue underneath there? Man? Oh my, look, you have
- 36:25Speaker 1: to like mature content. You have to click a link
- 36:28Speaker 1: in Instagram to be able to see it. Holy cow,
- 36:30Speaker 1: how nuts is that man's So there's a drain, that
- 36:35Speaker 1: tube that you're seeing right there, that what that is
- 36:37Speaker 1: attached to, is that drain that's letting liquid drip out
- 36:41Speaker 1: of his legs. So compartment syndrome is so bad that
- 36:44Speaker 1: sometimes people, when they don't get it treated, they have
- 36:46Speaker 1: to get their leg amputated. Really. Oh yeah, so that
- 36:49Speaker 1: was just from leg kicks from a fight, Just from
- 36:51Speaker 1: leg kicks from a fight. I'm trying to remember who
- 36:53Speaker 1: he fought. Jesus, can we find out who he fought
- 37:00Speaker 1: than a year ago?
- 37:01Speaker 3: This picture and twenty five weeks ago?
- 37:03Speaker 1: Yeah, but the fight was more than a year ago.
- 37:06Speaker 1: It was quite a while ago.
- 37:08Speaker 4: Well, what is it like like a big bruiser.
- 37:12Speaker 1: Twenty five weeks ago? Oh, three hundred three hundred and
- 37:16Speaker 1: twenty five weeks ago. Yeah, so it was quite a
- 37:20Speaker 1: while ago. But I see, if you find out who
- 37:23Speaker 1: you fought.
- 37:23Speaker 4: Boy, it's just like your your leg just stays like
- 37:26Speaker 4: bruised and swollen and like not just.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Bruised, like your tissue breaks down, it fills up with
- 37:30Speaker 1: fluid and yeah, and then also what happens, I guess
- 37:33Speaker 1: when you get that much damage and your tissue is
- 37:36Speaker 1: like your whole body has to process all all of that.
- 37:39Speaker 1: So it was Kyle properly, like I don't remember that,
- 37:42Speaker 1: and so it was UFC Vancouver elevator passed down and elevated.
- 37:46Speaker 1: How'd you rushed to the hospital.
- 37:48Speaker 4: It's crazy. I never knew that. Yeah, see him at
- 37:51Speaker 4: the gym all the time. He's a nice guy.
- 37:54Speaker 1: So they had to cut his leg open to reduce
- 37:56Speaker 1: the pressure. So that's that images damn nuts. That is crazy,
- 38:01Speaker 1: Yeah as nuts. And then your Yah's leg, honestly, in
- 38:05Speaker 1: the fight looked worse than that. I mean you Oryah
- 38:07Speaker 1: might have had compartment syndrome and didn't get it dreamed
- 38:11Speaker 1: because I know he spent a lot of time in
- 38:12Speaker 1: hyper bearer chambers after the fight.
- 38:14Speaker 4: I want to try that it's great. I want to
- 38:16Speaker 4: try that.
- 38:16Speaker 1: It's really amazing. If you have an or ring and
- 38:19Speaker 1: you go into the hyperbaric chamber, it will tell you
- 38:22Speaker 1: that you're recovered more really yeah than a normal day. Yeah,
- 38:25Speaker 1: oh you have a high level of recovery today. Yeah.
- 38:28Speaker 1: I'm gonna try that for sure, legit. Yeah.
- 38:30Speaker 4: All my friends have been like like Jared Gordon like
- 38:32Speaker 4: got one for one of his fights and he was
- 38:34Speaker 4: telling me like how different it makes him feel and stuff.
- 38:36Speaker 4: Like For me, as far as I go, it's like
- 38:38Speaker 4: I just started like really like using more supplements. Like
- 38:42Speaker 4: I think the deal that Thorn made with UFC really
- 38:44Speaker 4: helped me. It's like I started using there and what
- 38:46Speaker 4: really helped us. I was always scared to go on
- 38:48Speaker 4: creating because like growing up, my dad to get so
- 38:49Speaker 4: big and he would like back in the day, they'd
- 38:52Speaker 4: have like all these different things like off use too
- 38:54Speaker 4: much creating, it's bad for you, bad for your kidneys
- 38:57Speaker 4: or whatever.
- 38:59Speaker 1: That's bullshit exactly is fantastic.
- 39:01Speaker 4: And that's that's been like the main thing I can
- 39:04Speaker 4: really feel, like how how different my body recovers, like
- 39:06Speaker 4: how more almost energized in a way, you know, I
- 39:11Speaker 4: wake up and like when I go to lyft and stuff,
- 39:13Speaker 4: I feel like way better.
- 39:14Speaker 1: So, like what's even great for your mind? Creatine is
- 39:17Speaker 1: fantastic just for cognitive support.
- 39:19Speaker 4: I need everything for that because I've been getting hit
- 39:23Speaker 4: in the head since I was thirteen years old, so
- 39:25Speaker 4: you know, yeah, it don't sometimes it don't function properly,
- 39:29Speaker 4: you know, I have to. It's funny. Me and my
- 39:31Speaker 4: wife are just joking the other day. We're like, I
- 39:33Speaker 4: was like, baby, you do that on purpose, don't she
- 39:34Speaker 4: She's like what I was like, you try to use
- 39:36Speaker 4: memory against me. You'll wait till I forget something and
- 39:39Speaker 4: you're like, oh, remember you said this, And I'm like,
- 39:41Speaker 4: I didn't say that. I have to die on that
- 39:43Speaker 4: hill because it's.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Like I remember, but I'll tell her that.
- 39:47Speaker 4: You know. I'm just like, no, I didn't. I know,
- 39:48Speaker 4: I didn't you know. So but yeah, that was a
- 39:52Speaker 4: great relationship to help. Like you know, UFC's done like
- 39:54Speaker 4: a lot of like made a lot of good partnerships.
- 39:56Speaker 4: It's helped like athletes, but for me personally, like the
- 39:59Speaker 4: thorn relationship makes great stuff.
- 40:01Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're so tested. If you get in a
- 40:03Speaker 1: hyperbaric chamber, that'll it'll help your memory as well. Hyperbaric
- 40:06Speaker 1: chamber is just good for overall recovery for everything. There's
- 40:09Speaker 1: even a study out of Jerusalem it shows that lengthens telomeres.
- 40:13Speaker 1: They did this process where they had you took sixty
- 40:16Speaker 1: sessions of ninety minutes over the course of ninety days,
- 40:21Speaker 1: so sixty hour and a half sessions of the course
- 40:23Speaker 1: of ninety days, and it showed it lengthened people's telomeres.
- 40:25Speaker 1: That was really Yeah, that was equal to a twenty
- 40:28Speaker 1: age difference. So yeah, twenty year age difference. So it's
- 40:33Speaker 1: like your telomeres as you get older. That's like one
- 40:36Speaker 1: of the clear marks of biological aging is how long
- 40:39Speaker 1: your telomeres are. Yeah, it indicates you know, like as
- 40:44Speaker 1: you get older, they shrink, and the only there's a
- 40:46Speaker 1: few things that they've shown that will increase telomeres, but
- 40:48Speaker 1: nothing as dramatically that I've ever heard other than the
- 40:51Speaker 1: hyperbaric chamber. That was probably the best one I've ever
- 40:54Speaker 1: heard of.
- 40:54Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I've been like trying to learn more about
- 40:58Speaker 4: recovery because I'm kind of.
- 40:59Speaker 1: Like, how I'll be thirty in a couple of weeks. Yeah,
- 41:02Speaker 1: that's when you gotta start thinking about it. Twenty two
- 41:05Speaker 1: you're just a wild man. Wake up in the morning
- 41:07Speaker 1: with rock hard boners, Like everything's fine.
- 41:10Speaker 4: You just show out to training. You don't even stretch. Now,
- 41:12Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, wait a minute, guys, wait a minute.
- 41:15Speaker 1: The thing is, even if you're twenty two, you should stretch.
- 41:17Speaker 1: That's just smithful ignorance. God it so there's so many
- 41:20Speaker 1: guys that can't. I remember I was talking to I
- 41:22Speaker 1: don't want to say his name because he's a good guy,
- 41:24Speaker 1: but he's like a world class MMA fighter and I
- 41:26Speaker 1: was trying to show him something we're talking about, like
- 41:29Speaker 1: guard technique, and he's like, I can't. I'm not flexible.
- 41:32Speaker 1: I can't get my leg like that. And I go,
- 41:35Speaker 1: what do you mean you're not flex I go, why
- 41:36Speaker 1: aren't you flexible? It goes, I'm not. I don't stretch.
- 41:38Speaker 1: I go, how do you not stretch? You're a world
- 41:41Speaker 1: class fighter who tries to kick people in the head
- 41:44Speaker 1: and you don't stretch. That's so crazy. He's like, it's boring.
- 41:48Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, yeah, a lot of things are boring
- 41:52Speaker 1: like that that you don't stretch is so crazy, because
- 41:55Speaker 1: like anytime someone says, I'm not flexible. I'm like, how
- 41:58Speaker 1: do you know? Right? You know, like you don't know
- 42:01Speaker 1: if you're flexible until you start stretching for a long
- 42:05Speaker 1: fucking time. You can get flexible. It's like I don't
- 42:08Speaker 1: have any cardio. Well you can get cardio. That's a choice.
- 42:11Speaker 5: Fucking work, Get do cardio and you'll have cardio. This
- 42:15Speaker 5: is crazy flexible. Yeah, but it's like i'd never stopped.
- 42:19Speaker 5: But I started when I was little. I developed flexibility
- 42:22Speaker 5: while my body was still maturing, which is very fortunate
- 42:25Speaker 5: because you're not like stiff yet. It's like, you can
- 42:28Speaker 5: get flexible, right, But.
- 42:29Speaker 1: It's I'm fifty eight years old. It's not easy to
- 42:31Speaker 1: stay flexible. I just keep fucking stretching.
- 42:34Speaker 4: I'm old, a shit, dude, I didn't know that my dad.
- 42:39Speaker 4: I'm old, dude, Thank you.
- 42:41Speaker 1: I keep up. I'm scared of death. I'm not scared
- 42:44Speaker 1: of death. Death is inevitable. What I'm scared of is
- 42:47Speaker 1: being feeble, like where you can't do things anymore. You
- 42:50Speaker 1: can't go on a hike, you can't use your body like.
- 42:53Speaker 1: I work out just as hard now as I did
- 42:55Speaker 1: when I was thirty.
- 42:57Speaker 4: I make my wife always worried because I'm like, uh,
- 43:00Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't honestly know if I mean
- 43:02Speaker 4: it or not. I'm like, I don't want to be
- 43:04Speaker 4: eight years old, like for instance, like.
- 43:08Speaker 1: You kind of not say things like that around ladies.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Sometimes they don't like it.
- 43:12Speaker 4: She's like, she's like that I need you, like we're
- 43:15Speaker 4: a team. And I'm like, hey, look what I do
- 43:17Speaker 4: for a living. Look what I've done, Like my body's
- 43:19Speaker 4: not like that, like you know, and like, I don't know.
- 43:22Speaker 4: Maybe I say that, but then like I get out
- 43:24Speaker 4: of working out for like I haven't worked out like
- 43:26Speaker 4: two months, and I'm like, I'm itching like a freaking fiend.
- 43:29Speaker 1: I'm like, so when you say I haven't worked out,
- 43:31Speaker 1: like you don't do anything for.
- 43:32Speaker 4: Two months, I haven't done anything. I went in the
- 43:34Speaker 4: gym twice. I went in the gym twice. I did
- 43:37Speaker 4: one run in one lift, and then we found out
- 43:39Speaker 4: my foot had fractures and they sent me this foot
- 43:41Speaker 4: boot and then the doctors like, you don't have to
- 43:43Speaker 4: wear that, but don't do anything that puts a lot
- 43:45Speaker 4: of pressure on your foot. An then I've been traveling,
- 43:47Speaker 4: like at the end of the year, I travel a
- 43:49Speaker 4: lot going hunting and stuff, and you know, like like
- 43:53Speaker 4: like you meet eater thing, like yep, I love that
- 43:54Speaker 4: kind of stuff. So I'm not on that big of
- 43:57Speaker 4: a scale and that nice of like animals. I'm just
- 43:59Speaker 4: like just a simple white tail kind of guy.
- 44:02Speaker 1: But you know, I hunt.
- 44:03Speaker 4: I love it. I got little property in Illinois, and.
- 44:06Speaker 1: Oh that's great, man. So I can't believe that you
- 44:08Speaker 1: could take a whole couple of months off with nothing,
- 44:11Speaker 1: just don't do.
- 44:11Speaker 4: Nothing, crazy, right, Yeah, I'm very blessed.
- 44:14Speaker 1: Well, it's probably smart. It's probably smart to do.
- 44:17Speaker 4: It's good and bad.
- 44:18Speaker 1: A few people do that.
- 44:19Speaker 4: It's good and bad. So like I only do it
- 44:21Speaker 4: this much at the end of the year because it's
- 44:23Speaker 4: hunting season and holidays, my kids birthdays and you know
- 44:27Speaker 4: kind of my kids' birthdays are right now or back
- 44:29Speaker 4: to well, shit, I guess all the time. They're back
- 44:32Speaker 4: to back to back. So it's like, all right, we'll
- 44:34Speaker 4: do that, we travel, but it's on the end of
- 44:36Speaker 4: the year. Usually I'll take a couple of weeks off,
- 44:38Speaker 4: maybe a month max, depending on my injuries after a fight,
- 44:41Speaker 4: but then I'm back at it. But it's hard for
- 44:44Speaker 4: me at home I'm a full time dad and a
- 44:45Speaker 4: full time husband at home right now, got so many kids,
- 44:49Speaker 4: you know, I'm away for so many kids. I'm about
- 44:52Speaker 4: to have five.
- 44:53Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, five and you're not even thirty yet.
- 44:57Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I have two with my ex I'm about
- 45:00Speaker 4: to have two with my current wife. And she has
- 45:03Speaker 4: a son from her previous steps wow. Yeah, so and
- 45:07Speaker 4: he's fourteen. My daughter's just turned six and four, my
- 45:10Speaker 4: son's about to turn one, and then we'll have another
- 45:12Speaker 4: one about a month and a half.
- 45:13Speaker 1: So you got a lot of work to do.
- 45:15Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's it's nice. It's hard right now. You know,
- 45:19Speaker 4: kids have schedules and now, like my little girls do
- 45:22Speaker 4: jiu jitsu. My stepson was playing football for the first
- 45:24Speaker 4: time this year. And he's a basketball player because my
- 45:27Speaker 4: wife was a pro basketball player, and so he's aly
- 45:30Speaker 4: got something going on. But at my new house that
- 45:32Speaker 4: I'm working to build, I have like two gyms full gym,
- 45:35Speaker 4: so like I don't have to leave.
- 45:36Speaker 1: Oh that's nice.
- 45:37Speaker 4: I could bring people in to train. I have my
- 45:39Speaker 4: full cage that I used to have for my promotion.
- 45:41Speaker 1: So even if you only realize only I only have
- 45:44Speaker 1: forty minutes before I have to leave what I can
- 45:46Speaker 1: get a half hour workout on real quick. And he's
- 45:48Speaker 1: really burning out for a half an hour just to
- 45:50Speaker 1: keep keep the machine oiled exactly. But you know the
- 45:54Speaker 1: argument about taking time off, it does reset the brain.
- 45:57Speaker 1: Like you know who used to do that. I know
- 45:58Speaker 1: he's not a fighter, but Ronnie, Ronnie Coleman is crazy.
- 46:03Speaker 1: As he used to lift when he was mister Olympia
- 46:05Speaker 1: and he was one of the heaviest lifters of all time.
- 46:08Speaker 1: I mean, he would do freak. He's a freak Ronnie.
- 46:11Speaker 1: When he would like get done with mister Olympia, he
- 46:13Speaker 1: would like, I'm not doing shit. He wouldn't do anything
- 46:15Speaker 1: for like a couple of months, like no training at all,
- 46:17Speaker 1: and they'd be like nothing at all, you know, nothing nothing, Yeah,
- 46:20Speaker 1: he goes, I gotta reset, got a reset. But imagine
- 46:23Speaker 1: being so driven that you could train the way that
- 46:26Speaker 1: guy trained, and yet so wise that you're like, I
- 46:30Speaker 1: get it back, let me just like, let me just chill.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Yet me just chill. And so it was something I
- 46:36Speaker 1: could turned him into a lazy person, Like that's what
- 46:38Speaker 1: everyone's afraid of. Oh, I'm gonna lose this momentum. I'm
- 46:41Speaker 1: doing so good, everything's going so great. I'm working so hard.
- 46:44Speaker 1: I want to keep working hard because we've all had
- 46:48Speaker 1: If you will live a life, you're gonna have ups
- 46:51Speaker 1: and you're gonna have downs, And like you were going
- 46:53Speaker 1: through your thyroid issue, there's gonna be times where you
- 46:55Speaker 1: don't have a lot of energy. So when you're feeling good,
- 46:57Speaker 1: you want to keep going right And this guy gets
- 46:59Speaker 1: to mister Olympia, but he has the wisdom to go.
- 47:02Speaker 1: You know what, I can get that back right now.
- 47:05Speaker 1: Let's just not do shit and let this let this
- 47:09Speaker 1: mind recover, let this stress just go away, let it
- 47:13Speaker 1: slip out of my life.
- 47:15Speaker 4: That's what I try.
- 47:15Speaker 1: Man.
- 47:16Speaker 4: I kind of learned like because I always have traveled
- 47:18Speaker 4: for camp since I was probably three or four and
- 47:22Speaker 4: os a pro, or three and one as a pro,
- 47:24Speaker 4: three or four fights in as a pro, I was,
- 47:26Speaker 4: I was traveling. I was going to roof of the
- 47:27Speaker 4: Sport for a long time. I stayed there for a
- 47:29Speaker 4: long time. Then I went to Florida for a long time.
- 47:32Speaker 4: And now I'm not Chicago and always what you mean
- 47:37Speaker 4: valley flow like war room with Malam Mohammed. Yeah, So
- 47:42Speaker 4: and that's been a change. Yeah, man, he's so good.
- 47:45Speaker 4: Both the brother. He got a little brother. Oh really,
- 47:47Speaker 4: he's a stud. He's a stud.
- 47:49Speaker 1: I believe it. If he comes out of that family.
- 47:51Speaker 1: Monday is a beast.
- 47:52Speaker 4: He's a stud. The little brother is a stud. He
- 47:54Speaker 4: helped me for Marvin's fight, I think, and then Natcha
- 47:58Speaker 4: helped me a little bit for this one, this last one.
- 48:01Speaker 1: How did you choose going to Chicago.
- 48:03Speaker 4: I've known Below since Rufus Sport, and obviously we stayed
- 48:07Speaker 4: in contact, you know, when we see each other, it's
- 48:09Speaker 4: like we never you know, I haven't seen each other.
- 48:12Speaker 4: And he's always told me, like, bro, just come down,
- 48:14Speaker 4: just come check it out. You don't have to stay
- 48:15Speaker 4: or nothing, like stay at my house, but you don't
- 48:16Speaker 4: have to move here or nothing. Just come check it out.
- 48:19Speaker 4: So I watched his rise and what he does and
- 48:22Speaker 4: his work ethic and his team, and after the Fluffy loss,
- 48:27Speaker 4: like I just I kind of sat back, had some
- 48:29Speaker 4: conversations with people that are really close to me and
- 48:32Speaker 4: explain like what was going on with me, like mentally
- 48:35Speaker 4: and where I felt. And I was one of the
- 48:39Speaker 4: people I talked to, and He's like, I know what
- 48:41Speaker 4: the problem is, and everyone that I talked to, which
- 48:43Speaker 4: wasn't a lot, they all said exactly the same thing.
- 48:46Speaker 4: So I was like, be can I come? Can I
- 48:48Speaker 4: what was the problem complacency? I know, like who I
- 48:51Speaker 4: can train with? And I go hard. I'm I'm the
- 48:53Speaker 4: coach of my own thing, like I'm running my like
- 48:56Speaker 4: whole camp.
- 48:56Speaker 1: Basically I go to running your whole camp.
- 48:58Speaker 4: Basically I'd be like for jiu jitsu, Yeah, I'd go
- 49:02Speaker 4: to Wagner's for jiu jitsu, I'd go I'd be at Kilcliff,
- 49:04Speaker 4: but I'd be in the corner doing my thing because
- 49:05Speaker 4: he had the Russian coach over here teaching some crazy
- 49:08Speaker 4: stuff that don't make no sense.
- 49:10Speaker 1: What do you mean?
- 49:11Speaker 4: Like they'd be teaching some stuff off the wall that
- 49:12Speaker 4: would never work.
- 49:14Speaker 1: Really.
- 49:14Speaker 4: Yeah, but the kid, like the kid, the Russian kids,
- 49:17Speaker 4: like they were in the classes, like they got young
- 49:19Speaker 4: young guys like Ansar Nikita like by saying or he
- 49:24Speaker 4: wasn't even there. Like those guys they were like, come
- 49:26Speaker 4: over here, let's do something else. Like they have like
- 49:29Speaker 4: real mma knowledge because they fight and they've learned from
- 49:32Speaker 4: you know, all the guys from where they're from.
- 49:34Speaker 1: But uh, Russian coaches.
- 49:36Speaker 4: There was just one man.
- 49:37Speaker 1: Uh you don't have to say his name. Yeah, he
- 49:40Speaker 1: was just he's not there no more. But but he
- 49:42Speaker 1: was a legit coach.
- 49:44Speaker 4: He never fought.
- 49:46Speaker 1: Okay, did he fight in anything? Kickboxing?
- 49:48Speaker 3: No?
- 49:49Speaker 1: Nothing.
- 49:49Speaker 4: I don't know if he even competed in wrestling, to
- 49:51Speaker 4: be honest with you, ever.
- 49:52Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, is he like does he spar
- 49:55Speaker 1: with people? Nope? How old is he?
- 49:58Speaker 4: I would say in his thirties, I would say say, yeah,
- 50:00Speaker 4: I would guess.
- 50:01Speaker 1: And he's a coach, but he's coaching unorthodox stuff like
- 50:05Speaker 1: what kind of stuff.
- 50:06Speaker 4: Like stuff against the wall. But it was like, for instance,
- 50:08Speaker 4: I don't remember what it was. It was against the wall.
- 50:10Speaker 4: I was going with my friend AJ, Aaron Jefferies, and uh,
- 50:15Speaker 4: it was some take down off the wall, right. AJ
- 50:17Speaker 4: couldn't get it. I was like, bro, this and I
- 50:19Speaker 4: don't say it out loud because I don't want no problems.
- 50:21Speaker 4: You know, like I'm gonna just go with the flow
- 50:23Speaker 4: and mine my business. But you know, I've been doing
- 50:25Speaker 4: it long enough to where it's like he realized this
- 50:27Speaker 4: move is probably not gonna work from my body type
- 50:29Speaker 4: or my my king. But I'll try it, and so anyway,
- 50:32Speaker 4: he was doing it, and it's just like, bro, I
- 50:33Speaker 4: don't get it. I was like, yeah, cause this shit
- 50:34Speaker 4: ain't gonna work.
- 50:35Speaker 1: Bro. He's like what.
- 50:36Speaker 4: I was like, it's not gonna work. I'm telling you.
- 50:39Speaker 4: So he calls the coach over and he was like,
- 50:42Speaker 4: you doo. The guy looks at me. He goes he's
- 50:46Speaker 4: telling him, and then he looks at me, go stop
- 50:48Speaker 4: it me. He's like yeah. I was like, bet. He
- 50:53Speaker 4: tries to do it. I literally grab his wrists, grab
- 50:55Speaker 4: his head and throw him. Boom.
- 50:58Speaker 1: Is he your size?
- 50:59Speaker 4: He's bigger than me.
- 51:00Speaker 1: Oh wow, throw him? And so it didn't work.
- 51:02Speaker 4: No, He's like, let me try one more time. Let's
- 51:04Speaker 4: go full speed. I said, shit, that was full speed.
- 51:07Speaker 4: Do the exact same thing, but do it the other
- 51:09Speaker 4: way now. Boom again. AJ looks at me, he says,
- 51:15Speaker 4: the coach says something. I was like. Then then I
- 51:17Speaker 4: get agitated. Right then, I'm like, man, that's because this
- 51:19Speaker 4: shit ain't gonna work. I told y'all, y'all don't listen
- 51:21Speaker 4: to me. I just walked off.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Oh that's not good, but you know, so.
- 51:24Speaker 4: I just walk off and I was like, I.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Ain't taking this guy, I become a coach there.
- 51:28Speaker 4: Sticking around and translating.
- 51:30Speaker 1: Oh, no, you know something, there's those weird guys like that.
- 51:34Speaker 1: I'm not saying that this guy's like that, but there
- 51:36Speaker 1: are some weird guys like that become parasitic. You know.
- 51:40Speaker 1: They're like friends with a guy who's a really good fighter,
- 51:42Speaker 1: and then they're always there, and then they want to
- 51:44Speaker 1: be a part of the team somehow, and then they
- 51:46Speaker 1: start contributing or this time maybe running conditioning drills or something,
- 51:49Speaker 1: and you're like, why is this guy running conditioning drills.
- 51:52Speaker 4: That's exactly how it went.
- 51:53Speaker 1: Oh that's the word.
- 51:54Speaker 4: Exactly how it went.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Literally, there's weird parasitic relationships in any elite like thing,
- 52:00Speaker 1: whether it's sports. I see it in comedy as some
- 52:03Speaker 1: comedians that have weird parasitic friends that wind up, you know,
- 52:06Speaker 1: becoming a producer on their thing. And there's just some
- 52:09Speaker 1: guy who just just like like a lamprey clinging to
- 52:12Speaker 1: the bottom of a shark.
- 52:13Speaker 4: It got weird for a little while, especially at the
- 52:15Speaker 4: end it did, like when I was still there with
- 52:19Speaker 4: that whole thing, because even some of the other coaches
- 52:21Speaker 4: started to catch on because at kill Cliff. You know,
- 52:23Speaker 4: sometimes we'd have a lot of guys fighting like all
- 52:25Speaker 4: over the place, so coaches would be gone and you
- 52:28Speaker 4: try to, you know, figure that situation out. So he'd
- 52:30Speaker 4: step in and try to help, and it just got weird.
- 52:34Speaker 4: But like again, I'm I'm not the kind of person
- 52:36Speaker 4: that really cause a conflict. Like I'd rather just like
- 52:38Speaker 4: if like just for instance, if you're causing something like
- 52:41Speaker 4: some type of energy with me, I'm gonna just move
- 52:43Speaker 4: over here and just stay out your way, you.
- 52:45Speaker 1: Know, just because the world needs more people like you.
- 52:47Speaker 4: Well, my younger self would have I want a conflict,
- 52:50Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna show.
- 52:51Speaker 1: You right of course right now as you go, yeah,
- 52:55Speaker 1: and you realize, like what's the Also, you're at mix
- 53:00Speaker 1: Martial Arts fighter. You ain't got shit to prove to somebody.
- 53:03Speaker 4: That's kind how I feel now. I see some of
- 53:04Speaker 4: these younger kids. I feel I see some of these
- 53:06Speaker 4: younger kids now and I'm just like, I'm gonna just
- 53:08Speaker 4: stay over here.
- 53:09Speaker 1: It gets people hurt, it ruins your life.
- 53:11Speaker 4: And that's what it can ruin your life. I don't
- 53:13Speaker 4: want that to happen because, like I have kids that
- 53:16Speaker 4: have a wife I have a good life. I live
- 53:18Speaker 4: very nice, like as far as like my lifestyle, Like
- 53:21Speaker 4: I'm here with you right now, you know, So it's
- 53:23Speaker 4: fucking pointless.
- 53:24Speaker 1: I've seen bar fights where, you know, just young guys
- 53:28Speaker 1: and they just like see an opportunity to want to
- 53:30Speaker 1: prove something. And I'm like, I just want to tell him, like,
- 53:33Speaker 1: hey man, one day you're going to be thirty five.
- 53:34Speaker 1: You're gonna be looking back on this day and maybe
- 53:36Speaker 1: it's the day you got stabbed. Maybe it's the day
- 53:39Speaker 1: you got shot. You know, maybe it's the day you
- 53:41Speaker 1: got knocked the fuck out, your head bounced off the concrete,
- 53:43Speaker 1: and you'll never be the same person again.
- 53:45Speaker 4: Yeah, like exactly, you said, this is not worth it.
- 53:48Speaker 1: Like you know Kevin James, the comedian, Yeah, he's to
- 53:50Speaker 1: come to the gym. Oh that's that's awesome. He changes
- 53:53Speaker 1: a lot. Good friend of mine. I've been from friends
- 53:54Speaker 1: of mine for thirty years. When I first met him,
- 53:58Speaker 1: he told me a story of when he was bouncing.
- 54:00Speaker 1: When he was bouncing at a bar in Long Island,
- 54:02Speaker 1: one of his friends, there was a bouncer and some
- 54:05Speaker 1: drunk kid was starting shit and he knocked this kid
- 54:07Speaker 1: out and the kid fell down and hit his head
- 54:09Speaker 1: and died, and he wound up doing time. He went
- 54:12Speaker 1: to jail for manslaughter.
- 54:14Speaker 4: One of my best friends got stabbed in the face
- 54:16Speaker 4: in New Orleans because he was He didn't even know
- 54:18Speaker 4: he was talking to this dude's chick and he didn't know.
- 54:21Speaker 4: He didn't know, like she didn't say nothing. She came
- 54:23Speaker 4: up to him. He was just at the bar. Dude
- 54:25Speaker 4: came and stabbed him in the face, broke his jaw,
- 54:28Speaker 4: stabbed him and ran. He has a nice scar. He's
- 54:32Speaker 4: older now, so it's kind of went away, but like
- 54:33Speaker 4: through his beard, but wired his jaw shut. He was
- 54:37Speaker 4: just messed up for a while, you know, in the face.

- 55:39Speaker 1: and he tries to fight for a second. Then he
- 55:41Speaker 1: just gets woozy and he's just squirting as he goes down.
- 55:46Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. I'm assuming he died because
- 55:48Speaker 1: I'm looking at the amount of blood loss, So someone
- 55:50Speaker 1: didn't jump on that and compress it. And even if
- 55:52Speaker 1: you did, the crowded artery is like such a significant
- 55:55Speaker 1: amount of blood that's going through there, depending on it,
- 55:58Speaker 1: I guess the damage.
- 55:59Speaker 4: Dude, I think I like so stupid. I've always heard
- 56:01Speaker 4: the story, obviously, you know how stories are but I've
- 56:05Speaker 4: heard from a couple of people, but I have like
- 56:07Speaker 4: a great uncle somewhere along the line. He passed out,
- 56:09Speaker 4: passed away before I was alive. He was in a bar.
- 56:12Speaker 4: I know right where the place is. Everything's the building's
- 56:14Speaker 4: still there to this day. He was in the bar.
- 56:17Speaker 4: He was sitting down having some drinks for a friend,
- 56:19Speaker 4: don't I don't know the relationship between him and the guy.
- 56:21Speaker 4: The guy walked up behind him, slit his throat.
- 56:24Speaker 1: Oh god, he.
- 56:25Speaker 4: Missed the karat arteries, both of them by like not
- 56:28Speaker 4: even a quarter of an inch, like not even ate
- 56:30Speaker 4: them inch. He missed both of them.
- 56:32Speaker 1: So it was just here. Oh.
- 56:34Speaker 4: She chased the guy out, almost beat him to death,
- 56:36Speaker 4: and then almost died because he couldn't breathe, like, oh god,
- 56:40Speaker 4: but almost beat the guy to death, almost almost died.
- 56:44Speaker 4: So two people almost died.
- 56:46Speaker 1: Lubs are so bad.
- 56:47Speaker 4: I've never been a club. I hate like a group
- 56:49Speaker 4: of people.
- 56:49Speaker 1: I hate it.
- 56:50Speaker 4: I get very off setting.
- 56:51Speaker 1: There's too many people on coke. There's too many people
- 56:53Speaker 1: that are stupid. There's too many people that want them,
- 56:56Speaker 1: like bro I fucking see red. And you know there's
- 56:59Speaker 1: too many dummies when I was a kid. When I
- 57:01Speaker 1: was twenty one years old. I was at a bar
- 57:02Speaker 1: and I watched this guy hit a guy in a
- 57:04Speaker 1: face with a Heineken bottle out of nowhere over nothing.
- 57:09Speaker 1: I was standing by the bar and there's just two
- 57:12Speaker 1: guys that were as close as Jamie is to me,
- 57:14Speaker 1: and they were talking to each other like a loud voices,
- 57:17Speaker 1: but nothing crazy, like no physical shit. And this guy
- 57:20Speaker 1: just takes a Heineken bottle off the ball and smashes
- 57:23Speaker 1: it on his face and there was blood everywhere. This
- 57:26Speaker 1: guy was just just leaking all over his face. I
- 57:29Speaker 1: was like, the guy's face is destroyed for the rest
- 57:31Speaker 1: of his life over literally nothing, literally nothing. It's crazy, man.
- 57:37Speaker 1: It's just there's too many people out there that are
- 57:39Speaker 1: fucking stupid, man, and you get sucked into their gravity.
- 57:43Speaker 4: You know. You're like the guys that like they're like,
- 57:46Speaker 4: if they know who you are, they'll be like, oh
- 57:47Speaker 4: you can fight, I can shoot.
- 57:49Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, so can I Yeah? Congratulations, fight
- 57:52Speaker 1: each other or shoot each other.
- 57:53Speaker 4: That's my CID.
- 57:54Speaker 1: My name is Brendon.
- 57:55Speaker 4: That's my thing.
- 57:56Speaker 1: Now.
- 57:56Speaker 4: I'm like, bro, I don't want to fight our shoot
- 57:57Speaker 4: you just leave me alone and leave my family alone.
- 58:00Speaker 4: We're good, bro, I don't I don't want no problems
- 58:01Speaker 4: with nobody.
- 58:02Speaker 1: Well, the problem is there's too many people out there
- 58:04Speaker 1: that haven't proven themselves. They don't have a thing in
- 58:07Speaker 1: their life that gives them a challenge all the time
- 58:10Speaker 1: where they're proving themselves. So every time they go out,
- 58:13Speaker 1: they're trying to prove themselves. Every time they go out,
- 58:15Speaker 1: they're trying to puff their chest out and be billy badass,
- 58:18Speaker 1: and it's it's so dangerous. And here's why you don't
- 58:22Speaker 1: see that trained fighters. Dude.
- 58:23Speaker 4: I used to bounce that a little, like something small.
- 58:26Speaker 4: And I needed the money obviously, and I will never
- 58:30Speaker 4: forget man, this little dude, he had to be like
- 58:32Speaker 4: this tall, short and fat.
- 58:35Speaker 1: He was.
- 58:36Speaker 4: I don't know how tipsy he was. I don't know, right,
- 58:39Speaker 4: but all the guys know that I was fighting. I
- 58:41Speaker 4: was LFA at the time, and they're like, they always
- 58:46Speaker 4: told me, hey, man, don't worry about hitting nobody. If
- 58:48Speaker 4: someone swims at you, I got you, or just hit
- 58:52Speaker 4: them and say I did it. And I was like,
- 58:54Speaker 4: I'm good, bro, I'm good.
- 58:55Speaker 1: I just in trouble. Yeah.
- 58:56Speaker 4: They were super cool, right, who knows that would have
- 58:59Speaker 4: really been hot. I know, you know, But anyway, there
- 59:02Speaker 4: was a lawsuit that dude. There was a bartender there.
- 59:06Speaker 4: He freaking I watched it with my own two eyes.
- 59:08Speaker 4: In the front, this dude and him got into it.
- 59:10Speaker 4: The guy slipped because he pushed him and he slipped.
- 59:13Speaker 4: It was a little wet dude. He soccer kicked him
- 59:16Speaker 4: so hard in the face, so hard. I was like,
- 59:20Speaker 4: he got arrested for that. God, you know, but that
- 59:23Speaker 4: but that little kid, he swung at me and I
- 59:25Speaker 4: don't even know if he hit me or hit my hand.
- 59:27Speaker 4: He hit something right, And I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm
- 59:31Speaker 4: like I couldn't believe it, like.
- 59:34Speaker 1: You must have. I'm laughing.
- 59:36Speaker 4: I'm literally doing this because I was gonna stick him
- 59:39Speaker 4: with the right but he was so little, Like I
- 59:42Speaker 4: was like, no way, And how I saw the punch come,
- 59:44Speaker 4: I was like, don't do it.
- 59:46Speaker 1: There are some people out there that have no idea
- 59:48Speaker 1: how to fight, and yet they still try to fight.
- 59:51Speaker 1: They have no weapon, they don't have a good punch,
- 59:54Speaker 1: they don't have a background in wrestling, they don't have
- 59:56Speaker 1: a damn thing, and yet they'll still decide they want
- 59:59Speaker 1: to fight someone. Just hope in today's day and age,
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: how can you hope that people don't know how to fight.
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: I think if you runted to ten guys, one of
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: them can fight today. Right. It's probably the most in
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: human history in terms other than like Spartan days, most
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: in human history. And even back then, how good was
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: their technique? Exactly crazy? They probably didn't even know about
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: calf kicks.
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: It's like my dad grew up boxing, right, So my dad,
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: he would always tell me, like growing up he was
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: a little bitch. He was like I used to get
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: my ass kicked until he had he had to move
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: in with his grandfather. His grandfather, World War two vet
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: shot twice, grew up boxing. Probably the most rugged man
- 1:00:44Speaker 4: that you'll ever meet. I met him once before he
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: passed away. His voice was so gruff, like he's a
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: man's man, you know, like one of those doesn't say
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: nothing really and uh so he raised my dad and
- 1:00:56Speaker 4: he used to step outside like kind of mess with
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: him box. He put him in boxing. But he knocked
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: my dad out one time, and my Dad's like, you know, well, man,
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: come on, let's test it. Stepped on his foot and
- 1:01:06Speaker 4: slapt him and uh, but anyway, so like when he
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: was in high school though, dude, he said. My dad said,
- 1:01:13Speaker 4: he didn't care about nothing. My dad said, he literally
- 1:01:15Speaker 4: watched his smash his finger flat with a hammer. The
- 1:01:18Speaker 4: nerves flew out like they were still attached. They flew out.
- 1:01:21Speaker 4: Hit his head on throwing bales of hay in the loft.
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: He smoked his head on a railroad spike that was
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: in the wood. Uh, cracked his skull. He didn't know
- 1:01:30Speaker 4: till two days later. They said if he would have
- 1:01:32Speaker 4: waited a couple like twelve more hours, he would have
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: been dead because all the swelling on his brain. They
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: had to cut his brain, his skull off to let
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: the fluid come out. Oh god, crazy old just stubborn
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: old man.
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: You know that's crazy, dude. Your grandson though, sleeping like.
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: That, dude, he said. My dad said. My dad said,
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: he said we were messing around. He's like, all right, like,
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: quit messing with me. He always told him that leave
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: me alone. He kept on, kept on. He stepped on
- 1:01:55Speaker 4: his foot and my dad said, quit stepping. He said,
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: that's all he remembers, old school trick.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: He slept him.
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: My dad said, when he woke up, he had the
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: worst like migraine, and he was on the porch drinking
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: a thing I think tea, and he was like, hey,
- 1:02:07Speaker 4: get your ass up and go clean the dog pin
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: get to work.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: Was those dudes who came up through World War Two.
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: That's a different kind of human being.
- 1:02:16Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, so it's like human being like that's
- 1:02:19Speaker 4: that's just kind of like how my dad was so
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: like when he got too high school, like he wasn't
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: to kind of go look for trouble. But he was
- 1:02:25Speaker 4: the kind of person like my dad told me as well,
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: like you stick up for the people that can't stick
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: up for themselves. Yeah, or if someone fucks with you,
- 1:02:33Speaker 4: like do what you gotta do. Just don't like nowadays,
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: he's like, don't put your hands, like, don't throw the
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: punch of them first unless they get an arm for
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: each then you throw a punch first. Don't ever let
- 1:02:41Speaker 4: someone like you too. You could just choke somebody, yeah now,
- 1:02:44Speaker 4: but it's like you can just put them to sleep,
- 1:02:46Speaker 4: and that's more. I'm a good hugger, so it's like
- 1:02:49Speaker 4: I prefer that. But my dad's like mean man, like
- 1:02:53Speaker 4: he's different, and he like he was in the military
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: and he boxed when he was overseas for like seventy
- 1:02:58Speaker 4: five bucks because he send all his money home to us.
- 1:03:00Speaker 4: So it's like like I don't know, like people don't
- 1:03:03Speaker 4: know I'm raising I come from something like that's what
- 1:03:06Speaker 4: I feel like when I fight, Like I'm different, Like
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: I I honestly I I was telling myself that in
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: the Marvin fight in between rounds, like going into the
- 1:03:14Speaker 4: third because my dad and my brother were both there
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: in attendance for the first time. Like my brother hadn't
- 1:03:18Speaker 4: been in any of my fights since probably my second
- 1:03:20Speaker 4: pro fight because of his injury. And uh so, like
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: my I watched my buddy Costello fight for the PFL
- 1:03:27Speaker 4: belt and he said after the fight, like he said
- 1:03:29Speaker 4: word for word, he's like I was, I was raised
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: by a warrior, he raised two warriors. I'm a fucking warrior.
- 1:03:37Speaker 4: And he's like, that's That's what I told myself, And
- 1:03:39Speaker 4: so like that stuck in my head till the fight,
- 1:03:41Speaker 4: like till my fight. So like in the third round,
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: like everyone was like, oh, he falls off in the
- 1:03:45Speaker 4: third and that was something like my corner was because
- 1:03:48Speaker 4: that was my first time in Chicago. So like Herasio
- 1:03:50Speaker 4: looked at me in between rounds and he was like, hey,
- 1:03:53Speaker 4: let's go, like, let's let's restart it. He said something
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: else and I was like, I'm good, just get out
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: of the way, like you know, that's it's kind of
- 1:04:01Speaker 4: one of those moments where it's like you're living in
- 1:04:03Speaker 4: the moment, but I don't know.
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: Well, I think just having a coach is really important.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: It's really important, especially having an elite coach. Having a
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: coach that's really on top of it. You know, I
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: guess a safe syud, you know, Faza, Hobby, Duke Rufus.
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Having something's like really on it, really watching you really
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: knows what you need, really knows when you need to
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: back off, because the fact that you did so well
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: and that you were coaching yourself is kind of fucking crazy.
- 1:04:32Speaker 4: Well, when I say I coach, yeah exactly, but I
- 1:04:36Speaker 4: didn't have a main coach, yes, sir exactly.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: That's the difficulce. So for people that don't know, Okay,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: if you're listening to this and just interested in MMA,
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: generally there's a striking coach. Usually they have some sort
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: of a muyt higher kickboxing background. You generally have wrestling coaches.
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: You generally have jiu jitsu coaches, and if you're a
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: really good gym, you got one guy who knows how
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: to put it all together. Right. Those are the maestros.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: Those are the guys who are like conducting the entire
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: orchestra and they know you. And if a good guy
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: knowing his fighter is like an artist. And I think
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: you can only have a certain amount of people that
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: you're working really closely with because it's a very involved
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: and intensive job. Like Eric Nixon, that's a guy he
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: gets down into the nitty gritty of every fucking thing
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: you guys are, He's watching you. He knows what you need,
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: he knows what you don't need. You know. It's like
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: it's also you got a guy who could just say
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: push it off to him. He knows what to do.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: He's gonna give you game plans in between rounds. Okay,
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: this is working, but we need more of this. He
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: does this all the time when he does. The reason
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: why he's getting away with it is because of that
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: get it in your head. Go out there. When I
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: hear guys and the guys losing and they get no
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: technical advice and they start getting go fuck him. Up.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: You gotta fuck him up, you gotta put hands on him,
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: like and I'm like, oh my god, tell him what
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: to do. He knows how to fight, Get on top,
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: tell him.
- 1:05:51Speaker 4: Get on top, tell him what to do. Stand up.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: And I get it. You only have a minute. I
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: get it. And I get it. Everybody's panicking if things
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: are going wrong. I get it. But my god, it's
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: been having a good coach, having like a Farosca hobby
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: type dude in your corner who just really understands what
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: you need to do so fucking important.
- 1:06:09Speaker 4: It's been one of the best changes that I have
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: because I ain't gonna lie. I'm not the easiest person
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: to deal with. Like I like to be very in
- 1:06:18Speaker 4: control of things that I can control. And I know myself,
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: like I've done a lot, I've been around a lot,
- 1:06:25Speaker 4: so like I know, like, hey man, like I'm feeling
- 1:06:27Speaker 4: it today, like my body's kind of done. No no, no, nout,
- 1:06:30Speaker 4: go go go on hundred percent.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: You know, do you monitor all your shit? Do you
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: monitor your resting heart rate? Yeah?
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: Now I don't usually have my whip on because I
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: used to have the aura, but it like I couldn't
- 1:06:40Speaker 4: train with it. But I know I just took it
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: off because I was training jiu jitsu.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: Or it is a little bit of a problem when
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: you live weights too exactly. I pinched my finger so bad.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: Well have you ever seen sheathing injuries? You ever seen those?
- 1:06:53Speaker 4: What is it where it rips the skin of your
- 1:06:54Speaker 4: finger off?
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: The first time I ever saw one, I never saw
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: him in person, but the first time I ever saw one,
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: it was somebody who did jiu jitsu, and they did
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: jiu jitsu with a ring on like a wedding ring,
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: and just fucking mangled her finger. Well, it's called sheathing
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: because it pulls all your skin off the bone like
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: a sheath. You would stick say that.
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know that's what it was called.
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: That's what it's called, like a sheathing. Yeah, here's some
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: of these injuries.
- 1:07:16Speaker 4: I saw it like that.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: Who look at that, dude? Eh.
- 1:07:20Speaker 4: The first time I ever seen it was someone a
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: gee it got caught in the gi Oh my god,
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: like you said, took the skin off. Yeah, he had
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: the red ring and he had I think he made
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: the grip on the on the sleeve and when the
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: guy pulled it like took it like caught that like fat,
- 1:07:35Speaker 4: that little muscle or whatever right.
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: There, ripped his fucking skin off, the whole skin.
- 1:07:39Speaker 4: I've never seen that, dude. It was so nasty. Like
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: you said, I was like, oh, so now I am
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: one hundred percent sure that I don't wear my wedding ring.
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: That's why it's tattooed on my finger, because when I
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: go to camp, I don't. I don't wear a redder ring.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: She knows.
- 1:07:51Speaker 4: When I get to camp, I take it off. I
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: put it in my truck. When camp is over and
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: I get home from the fight, I put it back on.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: I don't have mine on now because I just came
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: from the gym. But I used to have a silicone one.
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: Well I'm not used to I have a silicone one
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: that I use all the time that I can work
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: out with it, I could do anything with it. Well, interesting, Yeah,
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: what is that company? Ridge? Is that what it is? No,
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: that's the wall company? Is that what it is? They
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: make it all kinds of stuff, But it's a good one.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: It's there's there's it looks like an ORR ring too,
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: but it's it's made out of silicon. Even if you
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: catch it on something, it's no big deal. But even that,
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: I forget which which coach it was. I forget which coach.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: It's like, like an elite jiu jitsu coach. He goes.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: I refuse to let a guy even train with that,
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: he goes. I've seen too many injuries, too many injuries
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: where your finger just gets mangled by having that stupid
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: thing on there. That's nasty, that's like groove, that's it.
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like that with those legit knee injuries
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: and like dislocations.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: Oh dude, you know what creeps me the most is
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: broken shins. I'll say that that shin check when the
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: shin snaps like ah, there's ever a fight that I
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: think a guy should have pulled out that didn't, And
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: if I was his friend, would have told him, you
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: cannot fight. It's Connor when he fought Dustin, the second
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: fight with Dustin, excuse me, the third fight with Dustin,
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: when his shin snapped in half. You know they knew
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: that he had some sort of a hairline fracture on it, surely. Yeah,
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: I never knew that he had already had MRIs and everything.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: They knew something was really wrong with it. Yeah, and
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: he didn't even it didn't even like go shin to
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: knee or anything like that, like it usually snaps. That's
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: how compromised it was. If you watch that fight, there
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: is one time where Dustin checks it and he checks
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: the kick and he looked at him. He pointed at
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: him like I know that hurt you, bitch, Like he
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: like got in his head. And that was also after
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: Dustin had just chaoed him in the last fight. So
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: this was the third fight, yes, and it was weird, man,
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: because in the first fight it was like nice guy Connor.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: It was like nice guy Connor even after the fight,
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: like after the fight he was being cool. He got
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: chaoed his leg up fucked up with those calf kicks,
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: and after the fight he was so respectful. Connor turned
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: a corner. Bro.
- 1:10:03Speaker 4: Oh, bro, it's so funny. But it's like I know it, dusn't.
- 1:10:06Speaker 4: He comes from like the same vibe that I come from,
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: and like same things probably bother him. So when he
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: said that, you could see Dustin like even though he
- 1:10:13Speaker 4: just whooked them, he was like like, you know, to say,
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: why you're lying there with bro, Like for sure, you
- 1:10:19Speaker 4: know a guy could just keep tak it well though
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: you know who took it the best that I've seen personally,
- 1:10:23Speaker 4: Tyrone Spaung when he when he snapped his in half,
- 1:10:26Speaker 4: He's just sitting there. We talk about this too. I'm like, bro,
- 1:10:29Speaker 4: how did you sit there?
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: Just like.
- 1:10:32Speaker 4: He's like, to be honest. I think he said, like
- 1:10:34Speaker 4: to be honest. I was a living shock at first,
- 1:10:36Speaker 4: and I was like, what am I gonna do it? Yeah?
- 1:10:40Speaker 4: Like what am I gonna do?
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: Like? It sucks?
- 1:10:42Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: That is That was against Gokansaki too. Yeah, that was
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: a kickboxing fight. Yeah, I remember in a kickboxing fight.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: It's an interesting It's way more common in an MMA fight.
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: I've only seen it a couple of times in kick
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: but I've seen it. God, thank God. Thank because of Instagram, luckily,
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: I get to see every faling, horrific injury that's ever happened.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: I've seen it. Seems like I never saw it until
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: one who was the first time? Was it Corey Hill?
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: I think it was Corey Hill was the first guy
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: who broke his. And Corey was like a real tall,
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: thin guy. I believe he fought at one forty five
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: and he was something crazy like six' three at one forty. Five,
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: yep it was real tall and. Skinny and who did
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: you Fight? Jamie he passed, away, right yes he. Did
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: unfortunately he.
- 1:11:29Speaker 4: Fought louisiana good big BECAUSE i remember when he passed,
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: away they were doing some stuff for him, there.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: So that was. Also the referee didn't notice, It, dale
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: it's just his daily.
- 1:11:46Speaker 6: Oh oh oh.
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: Bro that gets.
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: Me so during the, fight the referee didn't notice, it
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: so they kept fighting AND i put my headsets down
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: AND i got up AND I i was, screaming stop the,
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: fight stop the. Fight the referee didn't notice. It he
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: didn't notice that the guy's leg, broke so they were
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: still scrapping on the.
- 1:12:10Speaker 4: GROUND i hope that was the BECAUSE i did not
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: notice that his leg is literally.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: It's just a bad. Angle you, know you're in the
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: wrong place at the wrong, time looking at where the referee.
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: Standing there's actually kind of no excuse. There it.
- 1:12:25Speaker 4: Is it falls, back look.
- 1:12:30Speaker 6: Stop stop.

- 1:12:48Speaker 4: THAT i was just about to ask that. QUESTION i
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: don't think we.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: Then we didn't have monitors for a. While the monitors
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: are my. Idea. REALLY i was, like we have to have.
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: MONITORS i want to see. MONITORS i want to see,

- 1:13:07Speaker 1: That Maybe i'm. Wrong maybe we did have. Monitors MAYBE
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: i was asking for other things because MAYBE i was
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: asking for monitors for the. Judges like when did they
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: start having monitors in THE. UFCA i don't. Know BUT
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: i always try to watch the actual. FIGHT i want
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: to see that actual. Fight, YEAH i, MEAN i, like
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: you get a better view if the cage is. There

- 1:13:36Speaker 1: they start doing it twenty? Eleven is that for? Judges,
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: yeah that was definitely my, idea or, well there was
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: other people that had that same, idea But i'm, like
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: you need to do. This this is because there were
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: some of them that were so, bad some calls that
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: were so. Bad it's, like there's no way these guys
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: are seeing. Everything you, know if there's a pillar here
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: and a guy lends an elbow and you're judging and
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: you don't see, it like what do you? Do what
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: do you? Say that might have been the most bitoal
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: moment in the, fight like what are you? Doing you
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: have to see? It and the judging thing is. Crazy.
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: Man there's judges that don't even, train they've never TRAINED,
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: mma they don't they don't have any jiu jitsu, skill
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: they don't know what's going on in the middle of a.
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: Fight once this lady leaned over to my, friend who
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: has also worked for one of the, commissions and, said
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: what is he? Doing no, way it was An, americana
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: it was an a normal. Move it was, like what
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: is he? Doing that's? Crazy it was Either americana Or.
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: Kamura i'm not sure IF i remember.
- 1:14:38Speaker 4: He's trying to bite him WHAT i don't, know.
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: But imagine this is a person that's in. Charge so
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: the really horrible thing about it a bad. Decision it's
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: not just that you could a loss on your, record
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: but you get half your, paycheck WHICH i think is
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: really fucked. UP i think that needs to. STOP i
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: think you should have a designated amount that you're fighting.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: For and if you want to have a stoppage bonus
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: or you want, to you, know give someone some some
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: sort of a bonus for an excellent. Performance that's, great
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: that incentivizes them to try harder to stop. Somebody but
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: a bad decision that can cost you half your purse is.
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: Crazy it's, crazy you.
- 1:15:14Speaker 4: KNOW i had A i'm getting, older you, know SO
- 1:15:18Speaker 4: i try to have a little bit more. Wisdom so
- 1:15:21Speaker 4: after LIKE i lost the, FLUFFY i was, LIKE i
- 1:15:24Speaker 4: went back and watched a fight like six, times And i'm,
- 1:15:26Speaker 4: LIKE i really don't see HOW i lost it on the.
- 1:15:30Speaker 4: Decision LIKE i can see like your point if you
- 1:15:33Speaker 4: use this frame of, mind but based on the unified
- 1:15:36Speaker 4: rules at the, Time how SO i DIDE i reach
- 1:15:40Speaker 4: out to like a lot of people THAT i knew
- 1:15:41Speaker 4: that are like in the high up end, commissions and
- 1:15:43Speaker 4: LIKE i had really deep talks with them about, it
- 1:15:45Speaker 4: like explain my, perspective listen to, theirs the rules and
- 1:15:50Speaker 4: literally it came down to is your, interpretation is your
- 1:15:55Speaker 4: interpretation of the, Rules and it was, like it came down,
- 1:15:57Speaker 4: to is his effect of grappling even if they're, holding
- 1:16:02Speaker 4: they're still you, know, whatever does it outweigh me almost
- 1:16:06Speaker 4: knocking you out and me putting a cut all the
- 1:16:09Speaker 4: way to your skull on your face and you holding?
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: Me which one out weighs? What that's HOW i explained
- 1:16:14Speaker 4: it to, him and they were, like, oh but he
- 1:16:16Speaker 4: just had more, TIME i. Said and, look don't get me,
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: WRONG i Love. FLUFFY i think he's a great human.
- 1:16:23Speaker 4: BEING i really. Do i've known. Him we fought twice
- 1:16:25Speaker 4: already and he's beat me both, times both, decisions you.
- 1:16:30Speaker 4: Know and BUT i don't THINK i lost the last.
- 1:16:33Speaker 4: One i'll still down that.
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: Hill what was a very good. Fight it was a
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: very close. FIGHT i see what you're, saying, Though and
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: it was one of the things that we brought up
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: during this past fight With morob and Peod, Yan And i'm,
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: like if you're looking at it in terms of just,
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: damage Peodr yan is clearly doing more. Damage. Right he's
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: Hitting marob with shots that rock. Him he kicks him
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: in the, body he's got him. Screaming there was never
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: a moment Where morob did that To. Pyotre even when
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: he hit him with good, Chops peter was firing back.
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: Right damage is. Huge it's what the sport is really.
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: About the sport is really about either damage or coming
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: really close to putting someone, out like submitting. Them and
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: it's just that's what the sport's. About and when it's just,
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: holding when a guy holds and doesn't do anything with,
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: it it's like. That It's, look it's an effective. Strategy
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: and if you're fighting a guy who could fuck, you
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: up standing and that's all you could do to, SURVIVE i, Understand,
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: LIKE i have no problem with boring. FIGHTS i really.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: Don't AND i know the fans are fugging separat, them you,
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: know fucking separate. THEM i have no problem with boring
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: fights BECAUSE i think if you can let a guy
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: just hold on to, you that is a part of the.
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: Game if a guy takes you down and holds you,
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: DOWN i think you should be. There around's only five.
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: MINUTES i don't believe in stand, ups AND i know
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: that sounds, crazy but even if it's boring as, shit
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: and Sometimes i'm happy when they stand people. UP i really.
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: Am but if it was my, rules IF i could
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: make the, Rules i'd, like never stand a person up
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: unless there's a violation of the, rules, Right never stand
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: a person up because it's part of the. Sport if it's,
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: boring it's, boring you.
- 1:18:04Speaker 4: Know we talked about it after the. Fight after the,
- 1:18:06Speaker 4: fight LIKE i went in the back AND i was
- 1:18:09Speaker 4: frustrated at. Myself, really to be, HONEST i was super frustrated. Myself,
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: well first it WAS i was, like, fuck they just
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: let him fucking hold the whole. Time like in the
- 1:18:18Speaker 4: THIRD i literally almost knocked him, out Like i'm talking, shit,
- 1:18:21Speaker 4: right and, Uh robbie looks at, Me Robbi, lawler and he,
- 1:18:25Speaker 4: goes should just got. Up THEN i, went you're, Right,
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: yeah you're, right you're.
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: Right that's Some Robbie lawler right.
- 1:18:34Speaker 4: There and that's and from THERE i was like all, right.
- 1:18:37Speaker 4: Yeah but THEN i found out after like one Of
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: fluffy's coaches is he used to be in the, commission,
- 1:18:43Speaker 4: like so he knows that they explained his pedigree or,
- 1:18:46Speaker 4: whatever and he's very very very knowledgeable about what the
- 1:18:50Speaker 4: rules are and all these. Things so they he STRATEGIZES
- 1:18:54Speaker 4: i guess certain things around, that.
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: So he strategized to certain things around the.
- 1:18:59Speaker 4: Rules that's WHAT i that's WHAT i. Heard that's what
- 1:19:01Speaker 4: they told. Me and he canceled like he was in
- 1:19:04Speaker 4: the commission like part of, It LIKE i guess work for,
- 1:19:06Speaker 4: them and he's like he pulled out of working there
- 1:19:08Speaker 4: because he wanted to be For fluffy, more which is,
- 1:19:10Speaker 4: admirable but like he didn't want to have like a conflict. Contrast,
- 1:19:15Speaker 4: yeah SO i thought that was pretty. Cool but LIKE
- 1:19:17Speaker 4: i will, say like What fluffy did really good THAT
- 1:19:20Speaker 4: i was prepared, for like wrestling like, crazy BUT i
- 1:19:24Speaker 4: wrestled with guys that are like folk style. Wrestlers what
- 1:19:26Speaker 4: he does very well is he don't shoot normal. Shots
- 1:19:31Speaker 4: he doesn't he doesn't shoot like a double or a.
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: Single he shoots like it looks like it's going to
- 1:19:36Speaker 4: be a, double but he's only at your. Hips he's
- 1:19:40Speaker 4: just trying to get your. Hips then he's circling right
- 1:19:42Speaker 4: away if he, can or putting you to the cage
- 1:19:44Speaker 4: and working his sequences from. There but he has very awkward.
- 1:19:48Speaker 4: Shots they're so, Weird LIKE i could see them AND
- 1:19:51Speaker 4: i was, like, Oh i'm about to stuff. It But
- 1:19:52Speaker 4: i'm the kind of guy, like you got to touch
- 1:19:54Speaker 4: me and Then i'm gonna. Go i'm not just gonna
- 1:19:55Speaker 4: react that. Way you can set it up for something.
- 1:19:58Speaker 4: Else but as soon as he touches, me like in
- 1:20:00Speaker 4: the second he WAS i didn't know, how BUT i
- 1:20:03Speaker 4: watched it. BACK i went to like catch a whizzer
- 1:20:07Speaker 4: and next thing you, know my feet came out from
- 1:20:09Speaker 4: under me because we were both circling so. HARD i
- 1:20:11Speaker 4: was trying to get the wizzer and he was trying
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: to go to my, back and my feet came out
- 1:20:15Speaker 4: from under, me AND i just landed like on my,
- 1:20:16Speaker 4: shoulder And i'm like in the, Fight i'm, like what
- 1:20:19Speaker 4: the fuck just. Happened there's no way this is where
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: my head's. At i'm, like no fucking way he just did.
- 1:20:24Speaker 4: This i'm, like what the fuck just? Happened and my
- 1:20:27Speaker 4: corner's yelling at. Me his corner's, yelling And i'm still
- 1:20:30Speaker 4: in my head like what the? Fuck like what just and?
- 1:20:33Speaker 4: Dude it took me like probably a minute and a
- 1:20:35Speaker 4: half to like transfer to something. Else and THEN i was,
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: like a he's not doing, nothing So i'll just get
- 1:20:39Speaker 4: him the next, round which terrible frame of mindset we've
- 1:20:42Speaker 4: worked on and then the third but, yeah, MAN i
- 1:20:44Speaker 4: was like still like after the, FIGHT i was, like,
- 1:20:46Speaker 4: YO i asked my. BOY i was, like how do
- 1:20:48Speaker 4: you get me? Down they're like he went for a.
- 1:20:50Speaker 4: GUILLOTINE i, sang go for no goddamn guillotine till the
- 1:20:52Speaker 4: third and THEN i swept him with it and stood back.

- 1:20:58Speaker 4: Man but LIKE.
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: I, said he.

- 1:21:02Speaker 1: He and he also has a crazy gas. Tank. Man
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: he melts, guys melts guy deletes. Anything when he grabbed
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: his neck and just like like a bouncer at a,
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: nightclub just tragged him back to finish. Him that was. Crazy.
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: Yeah, Man that's one THING i WISH i would have,
- 1:21:19Speaker 4: gave like put more, output like BECAUSE i Wasn't everyone's
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: like you're. TIRED i was, like, GIR i was having
- 1:21:23Speaker 4: a full conversation like this in between rounds right. AFTER

- 1:21:29Speaker 4: oh Like i'm already gonna BECAUSE i beat malcoon like
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: that because all he did was hold literally just held
- 1:21:34Speaker 4: And i'm hitting him bang bang. Bang how AM i
- 1:21:37Speaker 4: supposed to improve my. Position you're literally just. Holding you're
- 1:21:39Speaker 4: not even moving at. All you're not lifting your, Weight
- 1:21:41Speaker 4: you're not doing. Nothing SO i won that fight BECAUSE

- 1:21:46Speaker 4: i FELT i had that With. Fluffy so in the
- 1:21:49Speaker 4: THIRD i was, Like i'm elbowing him and he's gushing

- 1:21:53Speaker 4: he's just. HOLDING i try to get. Up he's just
- 1:21:55Speaker 4: he just picks my ankle AND i go back. DOWN
- 1:21:57Speaker 4: i elbow him some, more try to get back. Up
- 1:22:00Speaker 4: he got on top for like a, minute but he
- 1:22:01Speaker 4: didn't do nothing really. Anyway that's where my frame of
- 1:22:04Speaker 4: mindset was, at and it was just, terrible you, know looking,
- 1:22:06Speaker 4: Back BUT i would love a.
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: Third you, know well it probably, Happened it'll probably happen
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: because it'll be a great.
- 1:22:13Speaker 4: Fight, yeah that's, where, well that's where the kind of
- 1:22:15Speaker 4: the hold up, IS i guess right. Now of, like
- 1:22:17Speaker 4: obviously you know how politics work in this, game but
- 1:22:19Speaker 4: it's like the top five is the champion kiss uh,
- 1:22:25Speaker 4: sorry champion rikis, Emovolve Sean, Strickland fluffy, me and it's
- 1:22:31Speaker 4: like all, Right, sean they just Announced sean And Fluffy, Evolve,
- 1:22:35Speaker 4: yeah that's, cool and Then evolve is. Waiting they've all
- 1:22:39Speaker 4: they both said they're gonna wait for that. One so
- 1:22:42Speaker 4: it's just me And dricis and then right behind me Is,
- 1:22:44Speaker 4: izzy who knows when he's gonna fight or if he's
- 1:22:46Speaker 4: gonna fight or, right so it's like we're waiting On.
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: Rikis drikus always has a lot to say When i'm,
- 1:22:51Speaker 4: losing but When i'm, winning he don't really have enough to.
- 1:22:53Speaker 4: Say and then LIKE i just saw an interview like
- 1:22:55Speaker 4: the other day and it was, like, uh he was, like,
- 1:22:58Speaker 4: Yeah i'd love to to beat his head in or
- 1:23:01Speaker 4: something about, you, yeah about, Me And i'm, like, well
- 1:23:04Speaker 4: you have the opportunity to do, so and it only
- 1:23:07Speaker 4: makes sense unless you want to wait.
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: Forever SO i wonder what he does after That hamzad,
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: fight because when a guy dominates you like, that where
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: it's so, clear it's just like one of those gaps
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: that it looks, like, oh you're never going to bridge
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: that gap and that grappling, gap and.
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: It's never gonna. THAT i don't know if you, agree
- 1:23:28Speaker 4: but that should never happen at fat.
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: Level it will never does happen at that. Level that's the,
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: reality Except islam And Jack. Delamutelena that's another similar. Situation,
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: yeah very similar. Situation BUT i think there's there's guys
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: that you get in there with and you, know if
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: you're used to a LIKE b caliber guy or you,
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: know a high high level, guy, right but there's there's
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: only a few real, a's and Like hamzad is a REAL. A,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: yeah he's good at he's a. SAVAGE i talked TO
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: dc about, him AND dc, Said, dude when that guy
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: grab me and he, goes we were wearing street clothes
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: and everything like, that he, GOES i, realized, like, Oh
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: i'm gonna have to, wrestle wrestle to keep this guy off.
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: Me he goes like he. Was he's fucking. Strong. Yeah
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: and it's also because first of, all how the fuck
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: did that guy make one? SEVENTY i don't.
- 1:24:16Speaker 4: Know BUT i don't understand how he talks about going
- 1:24:18Speaker 4: up to two or, five, because like you, said you
- 1:24:20Speaker 4: got guys Like. PEREIRA i don't get me. WRONG i
- 1:24:22Speaker 4: know they're stylistically, different BUT i.
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: Think he could do. IT i think he can do.
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: IT i think he could do it if he takes
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: the time and puts weight.
- 1:24:28Speaker 4: On, yeah if he puts weight, ON i think he
- 1:24:30Speaker 4: has a high chance because he's.
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: Tall you, know he's. Tall and it's also the thing
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: is just like these gaps in, wrestling you, know these
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: gaps in grappling when a guy's a really good grappler
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: and then you're taking on a guy Like dricas he's
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: really a. Striker, right was a good he's a good,
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: grappler a good jiu jitsu. Guy but there's, levels you,
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: know and the kind of guy like hums, out, like,
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: man you gotta be a Fucking olympic cal have a
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: wrestler to scrap with that. Guy.
- 1:24:53Speaker 4: Yeah and it's LIKE i tell people, Like i'm not
- 1:24:55Speaker 4: gonna go out there and straight be tremaiavan pure, Wrestling
- 1:24:58Speaker 4: like it's not gonna. Happen i'm not. Stupid i'm not,
- 1:25:01Speaker 4: stupid but It's. Mma COULD i take him? DOWN i,
- 1:25:03Speaker 4: mean YEAH i, Could but there's other ways to approach
- 1:25:06Speaker 4: the fight THAT i THINK i have the upper. Hand
- 1:25:09Speaker 4: like you see how other people have approached him and
- 1:25:13Speaker 4: done well with. Him but it's like.
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: You're also very good submissions. Too you have real solid
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: jiu jitsu game and you could. Strike you, know you're
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: you've got a very complete. Package AND i think you,
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: know the thing about his grappling is that like you
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: have that. Hole if you have that, hole he's gonna
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: find that hole and he's gonna smother for.
- 1:25:31Speaker 4: Sure that's what. Freaks that's what like makes no sense
- 1:25:35Speaker 4: to me with the jerkers fight right like you're the
- 1:25:38Speaker 4: champion of the. World he took you, down no. Problem,
- 1:25:42Speaker 4: MAN i totally. UNDERSTAND i get taken down a, lot you,
- 1:25:46Speaker 4: Know BUT i, MEAN i know our styles are. Different
- 1:25:50Speaker 4: but you didn't try to hip. Bump you didn't try
- 1:25:52Speaker 4: to hip. Escape you didn't try to scoop the leg
- 1:25:54Speaker 4: and lift and. Elevate you didn't try to do. Nothing
- 1:25:58Speaker 4: he didn't literally he didn't try to do. Thing he
- 1:26:00Speaker 4: literally waited for him to establish his. Position he'd roll
- 1:26:03Speaker 4: side to, side maybe one, hit bump. Around when he,
- 1:26:07Speaker 4: Did tremiah did, great knee, sliced just stepped over past
- 1:26:11Speaker 4: and went.
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: Crucifix do you how many times you put in the?
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: Crucifix by the, way that was. Crazy it was.
- 1:26:16Speaker 4: CRAZY i only had to be like once a round
- 1:26:18Speaker 4: because he wasn't getting.
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: Out it WAS i, mean how many times did he
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: put him in a crucifix in a world championship? Fight
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: has there ever been a fight where a champion has
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: been put in a crucifix that many? Times? Insane it
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: was over and over and over. Again we were, like
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: how was he doing this?
- 1:26:33Speaker 4: Again this is so crazy and that that kind of
- 1:26:35Speaker 4: blew my. Mind so that's why it's, LIKE i.
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: Just Think tremaioh's gap is just so. Good AND i
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: think also with a guy Like drikas and you would
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: be the guy to speak to this when you're down
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: and you, Realize, okay it's the first. Round he's taking me,
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: down he's on top of. Me let me just coen
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: serve my. Energy there's a five round world championship. Fight
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: i'm gonna knock this motherfucker. Out he's gonna get tired doing.
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: This he always gets. Tired but you know the difference
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: With hamza in this fight is he trained With Sam
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: do you know that?
- 1:27:01Speaker 4: Guy, OKAY i just already hired someone.
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: Good. Yeah calavida is a real elite strength and conditioning
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: coach and legendary. Guy and he runs this it's called
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: he just calls it the. Garage, okay it's An Orange, County,
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: california and it's just a fucking garage and not even
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: a big, one just a small two car garage with
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: no cars in. It and it's all just machines and.
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: Equipment and he's got Armand serukian training down. THERE Tj
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: dillashaw when he was in his, prime he was training down.
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: There the reason Why TJ's conditioning was that such a
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: fucking high level when he was in his prime was
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: he was training with that. Guy he. Has everybody THAT
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: i know that's trained with him is, like, bro this
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: guy puts you through fucking. Hell, hell this is, uh
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: THAT'S tj when he's training. There and again this is
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: like if you see There's sam if you see, it
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: like and when you listen to the guy, talk just
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: extremely fucking, knowledgeable but he gets you to the. Point
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: it's called the Train it's if you look at it
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: online training lab On instagram T r E i G
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: n lab in lab, training but training is T r
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: E i G n like train m.
- 1:28:10Speaker 4: MAN I i would know that name the training lab
- 1:28:12Speaker 4: BECAUSE i was, like, yeah, weird, wait that's.
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: It so you See Aaron pico's there with, Them There's hamza,
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: SO i, mean he's got so many elite guys that
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: are training inside of that. GYMA i wonder how they
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: how they work that.
- 1:28:26Speaker 4: In obviously they have their coaches and stuff doing with,
- 1:28:28Speaker 4: it but like how they operate if, WELL i think.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: Intense the issue with hamza was. Overtraining so one of
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: the things About hamzad, is, uh he's apparently you can't
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: kick him out of the fucking. Gym he won't stop,
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: training and you gotta you gotta literally like stop him from.
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: Training he's a. Maniac and when he GOT, covid that's
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: what really fucked him. Up so he GOT, covid and
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: you would, think, well healthy guy like that who GETS,
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: covid that ain't gonna be shipped for. Him this silly
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: motherfucker was training like an animal two hour sessions WITH.
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: Covid so then you know he's never getting. Better so
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: instead of like, saying, hey this cold is not getting,
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: better it's, like don't be, BUSY i kill. Everyone he
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: shows up again training again two and a half, hours
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: sick as a fucking, dog, coughing and then he broke
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: his immune system down to a point where they had
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: to fucking hospitalize HAPPEN i remember just from training while
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: he HAD. Covid that's all it. Was he just refused
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: to stop. Training and, look if YOU i don't care
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: what it, is the, flu whatever you, Have you're you're
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: trying to train two and a half hour days when
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: you have a serious lung. Infection you're gonna fucking. Die THERE'S,
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: Dc AND dc told me he did one session with.
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: Him what's? That oh, yeah, yeah he uses elastic bands
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: along with a fucking a rogue echo. Bike. Yeah so
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: those rogue echo bikes they suck, enough and to have
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: resistance bands while you're doing it, too that's. Crazy. Yeah
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: Now sam's an animal and again super, knowledgeable like no
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: it was like what your recovery should be or where
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: your resting heart reach should. Be and also super knowledgeable
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: in terms of like, supplements diet and all that. Stuff
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: he comes from the endurance cycling, world which is like
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: so cycling you would imagine Like twitter front style style.
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: Cycling this is probably the most endurance dependent sport on
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: Planet earth because it goes for so, Long like you
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: have to be you have to really understand how to
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: peak in order to compete at a real insane endurance
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: event like. That so he's got this knowledge from that
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: sport that he's transferred over TO. Mma but EVERYBODY i
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: know that's trained with him and, said, like, man it
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: just changed, everything changed my whole game because now all
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: of a sudden got an incredible gas.
- 1:30:41Speaker 4: Tank, yeah he's doing good to My LIKE i, said
- 1:30:44Speaker 4: he looked.
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: Good BUT i think that was a factor though in that,
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: fight because there's no fade in that fight where you,
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: saw like The usman, fight there was a fade in
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: the third. Round usman won that fucking third. Round, yeah
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: and after that third round he was, like, FUCK i
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: wish this was a five round.
- 1:30:56Speaker 4: Fight, yeah but it's like also Like usman made him have.
- 1:31:00Speaker 4: Output yeah he didn't really have. To he had one
- 1:31:02Speaker 4: explosion to take him down mm.
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: Hm but it was spin can fucking. Wrestle that's the. Difference,
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: Yeah like he was in there with a guy who's real,
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: strong even though he's a weight class below. Him like
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: it Was usman had been competing at one seventy And
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: humsad had already committed to eighty. Five he's a bigger.
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: Guy But usman can really, Wrestle and that's the. Difference
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: it's not like a guy that doesn't know what to,
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: do and you take him, down you ragged. Him uspin's, Like,
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: okay you got me, down but this is a long
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: ass fight And i'm gonna get back up and we're
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: gonna figure this. Out and in the third round he
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: was figuring it out and he was he started tuning him.
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: Up he was laying good. Shots.
- 1:31:35Speaker 4: Yeah THEY i have a friend that trained With, Tremaiah
- 1:31:38Speaker 4: like he goes and helps and he's told me he's, like,
- 1:31:41Speaker 4: man his wrestling's really. GOOD i was, like how? Good
- 1:31:43Speaker 4: he was like it's. GOOD i was, like he whoop?
- 1:31:47Speaker 4: You he's like, no IF i if he whooped, me
- 1:31:49Speaker 4: why would they bring me? In if if he whoops?
- 1:31:51Speaker 4: ME i was, like touche good. One but you know he.
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: Is you still got to watch. That you gotta watch
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: see what does he? Considered?
- 1:31:58Speaker 4: Whoop, yeah let me, watch show me the, video let
- 1:32:02Speaker 4: me see, it let me see what they.
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: Got let me go in the. ROOM i want to
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: see in the.
- 1:32:06Speaker 4: Room but like its the meaner, Too like that the
- 1:32:10Speaker 4: conversation he had with Like Ian, garrett like he's similar to, Me, like.
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: WELL i don't understand that BECAUSE i had heard there's

- 1:38:38Speaker 1: like and some people don't cash in on, it but
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: it's if you just sense those hands, together he can't
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: get that ham. Out that's. It turn on your, side that's.
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: It it's it's almost like giving up your neck, exactly
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: if someone like gave up their. Back everybody, like what
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: are you? Doing that's like what you're doing if you're
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: holding onto a guillotine and the guy's in side, control
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: it literally is like giving up your back and exposing your.
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: Neck it's kind of, crazy it.
- 1:39:01Speaker 4: Is BUT i see these kids like, this And i'm
- 1:39:03Speaker 4: just LIKE i used to be that. Kid but these
- 1:39:05Speaker 4: guys are even, better you know WHAT i. Mean like
- 1:39:07Speaker 4: it's scary how evolution. Is but LIKE i, said, MAN
- 1:39:11Speaker 4: i asked these. KIDS i was, like, man why'd you leave?
- 1:39:12Speaker 4: Home how'd you leave? Home how'd you get? Here him
- 1:39:15Speaker 4: and his best friend left. Together their story both same,
- 1:39:18Speaker 4: thing different. Times like, brother we just left one day our.
- 1:39:22Speaker 4: Parents we told our parents were going to the, store
- 1:39:24Speaker 4: never came.
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: Back what you, know and just moved To.
- 1:39:28Speaker 4: America, Yeah like they somehow got here and they've been,
- 1:39:32Speaker 4: here and, dude they work during the, day they move,
- 1:39:34Speaker 4: stuff like they work for a moving, company and then they,
- 1:39:36Speaker 4: trained so they train in the, morning they, go they, train,
- 1:39:40Speaker 4: train then they go work all, night all through the,
- 1:39:42Speaker 4: night moving, stuff try whatever they have to, do whatever
- 1:39:45Speaker 4: their work. Is but most of the TIME i see
- 1:39:47Speaker 4: them moving stuff and then they come back train the next.
- 1:39:50Speaker 4: Day and they do this every single, day working their ass. Off,
- 1:39:53Speaker 4: man it's super impressive and it's super motivating, too but
- 1:39:57Speaker 4: it's it just lets you, know like like for, ME
- 1:39:59Speaker 4: I u to be that young cat like everyone was
- 1:40:01Speaker 4: twenty four to twenty, Five i'm seventeen, Eighteen, yeah And
- 1:40:04Speaker 4: i'm doing What i'm doing and NOW i see these
- 1:40:06Speaker 4: kids And i'm, like, damn so that's what it was
- 1:40:09Speaker 4: like when the older guys are looking at. Me but
- 1:40:11Speaker 4: these guys are better.
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: To forget when they get like complacent in their career
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: and they become like a journeyman and they forget what
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: it's like to be young and, hungry and then they'll
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: train with someone and that'll either make them retire or
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: it'll reinvigorate.
- 1:40:23Speaker 4: Them it's it's awesome because if.
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: You're around like people that are that, driven it becomes.
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: Contagious it really, does especially if you know that a
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: guy is working all day and training that, hard like
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: you got no, excuses, Right and it's also just like
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: a when you're around people like, that there's a an
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: energy it catches. You it's like for sure loves. You
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: when it's, wake it.

- 1:41:52Speaker 1: the top of someone who's got your.
- 1:41:53Speaker 4: BACK i can't even separate the.
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: Hands somehow know that he separated the hands and flipped over,
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: him And gordon was, like, okay Because gordon would be
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: the first to tell. You even though he's the best
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: in the world and the best ever and nogay jiu,
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: jitsu he's not an explosive. Guy, yeah he's. Not he was,
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: Like i'm not a good.
- 1:42:09Speaker 4: Athlete he's, intelligent, though super super intelligent. Smart, yeah he's
- 1:42:13Speaker 4: super intelligent. Smart i've listened to some of his like
- 1:42:16Speaker 4: instructionals before and, like, UH i know he did one
- 1:42:19Speaker 4: At rufuspor a long time. Ago and the guys told
- 1:42:22Speaker 4: me after BECAUSE i was obviously at, home and they're, like,
- 1:42:24Speaker 4: bro he was in a wheelchair BECAUSE i guess he
- 1:42:26Speaker 4: had a surgery at the, time and he was in
- 1:42:28Speaker 4: a chair and his lady was teaching like she was
- 1:42:31Speaker 4: teaching for, him and he was walking through every single.
- 1:42:34Speaker 4: Position they they all everyone said that was the best
- 1:42:37Speaker 4: seminar they ever been. To he didn't he didn't get
- 1:42:40Speaker 4: down there and teach one move.
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: That'dible that's. INCREDIBLE i was, like that's. Impressive well you
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: if you could do a seminar from a, Wheelchair Jesus, christ, dude.
- 1:42:48Speaker 4: Impressive you. Know wagner says the same. Thing he's, like,
- 1:42:51Speaker 4: bro he's the best guy ever trained, with learned from.
- 1:42:54Speaker 4: Anything He's he's. Amazing So i've heard it from a.
- 1:42:57Speaker 4: Lot i've heard a lot of good.
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: Guy, though that's three hundred sixty five days a year of,
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: training because, period there's no days. Off fuck Your, christmas
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: fuck your, birthday there is no days, off which is so. Crazy,
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: YEAH i think Of but the way they put, it
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: and the way donnaher put, it is, like if you
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: are training two hundred days a, year that is a,
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: lot but you will not be able to beat a
- 1:43:17Speaker 1: guy who's training three hundred and sixty five days a
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: year because he has one hundred and sixty five more
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: training sessions a. Year so over the course of two,
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: years now he has you, know three hundred plus then four.
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: Hundred it keeps going and, going so over the course
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: of five, years like he's trained so much more than.
- 1:43:32Speaker 1: You it's, true and it's not just. Training it's like
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: when they're not physically, training they're going over tape all day,
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: right which is like it's hard to do that and
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: to keep your mind focused on. That they're writing things,
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: down they're going over. Positions it's not just all hard physical.
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: Work it's. Intelligent it's a lot of breaking things, down
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: a lot of like the finer points of technique and.
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: Positioning it's it's funny you say, that because it's like for,
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: me like when we were talking earlier about how like
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: time off it reinvigorates your.
- 1:44:03Speaker 4: Mind it's, like that's what it does for. Me LIKE
- 1:44:07Speaker 4: i probably do a hundred reps in a day of
- 1:44:11Speaker 4: like things That i've screwed up, on like throwing a jab,
- 1:44:14Speaker 4: wrong or leaving my hand, down or like in my,
- 1:44:17Speaker 4: head my mental, reps and then somehow WHEN i do
- 1:44:19Speaker 4: go train, again it's just so, weird like my body
- 1:44:22Speaker 4: just automatically does. It like SAY i throw the job
- 1:44:24Speaker 4: AND i just bring it back to my. CHEST i
- 1:44:26Speaker 4: don't want it, THERE i want it on my. CHIN
- 1:44:28Speaker 4: i do so many mental reps of this for like
- 1:44:31Speaker 4: a week or two weeks however, Long i'm. Out by
- 1:44:33Speaker 4: the TIME i spar, Again i'm not doing it no.
- 1:44:35Speaker 4: More LIKE i do so many mental reps focus on
- 1:44:38Speaker 4: such little, details but then outside of, THAT i really
- 1:44:41Speaker 4: take my. TIME i try to take my time away from,
- 1:44:43Speaker 4: fighting like When i'm not training for the most, part
- 1:44:46Speaker 4: like especially like the month after the. FIGHT i don't
- 1:44:48Speaker 4: want to hear about. FIGHTING i don't want to talk about.
- 1:44:50Speaker 4: Fighting that's WHY i stay away From like most people
- 1:44:53Speaker 4: that don't know, ME i don't want to talk because
- 1:44:55Speaker 4: anytime they see, Me oh what do you think about this?
- 1:44:57Speaker 4: Fight what's? NEXT i don't. Know, Man LIKE i just
- 1:44:59Speaker 4: want to, YEAR i just want to motivation. EXACTLY i
- 1:45:02Speaker 4: just want to be with my. FAMILY i want to
- 1:45:04Speaker 4: be a normal person because one day fighting is not
- 1:45:05Speaker 4: going to be there for. Me it's always been there
- 1:45:07Speaker 4: for me SINCE i was thirteen WHEN i had anxiety about, something, stress,
- 1:45:12Speaker 4: heartbreak whatever it. Is it's always been there for, me
- 1:45:15Speaker 4: and that's WHEN i always. Grew but it's. Not the
- 1:45:18Speaker 4: end is a lot closer than the, beginning right you.
- 1:45:21Speaker 4: Know that's that's Where i'm met in my, life AND
- 1:45:23Speaker 4: i know. That So i'm trying to make the most
- 1:45:24Speaker 4: of it and.
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: Try but you think about like high, end you got ten,
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: years if that's really, Possible maybe it's. Not, usually and
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: usually the last few are rough because the last few,
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: year Like anderson after he broke his leg right. Right
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: SO i say there's like Two. Anderson's There's anderson Pre
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: wideman and Post. Wideman for, sure there's the knockout Or
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: widmen caught him at the left, hook and then there's
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: the leg break in the, rematch and then from then
- 1:45:48Speaker 1: he's never Been anderson. Again, Correct AND i think the
- 1:45:50Speaker 1: injury has a lot to do with, it but it's
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: also father. TIME i don't think we Got anderson in
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: THE ufc till he was thirty.
- 1:45:55Speaker 4: Four it was a while because he was already big
- 1:45:58Speaker 4: on the other.
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: Sees huge. Bro that was one of them fights where
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: people didn't really Know anderson that, well and he was
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: Fighting Chris, leeban and the odds Were anderson was the,
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: favorite but not by. Enough AND i was telling my, friend,
- 1:46:11Speaker 1: like bet the house on The. BRAZILIAN i go bet the. House,
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: yeah because he was coming off of that remember cage,
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: Rage so he was coming off of The Lee murray.
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: Fight he was coming off who did he fight over
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: there as? Well he Fought Jorge rivera that was a big.
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: Fight there was A Tony fricklin one where he did
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: that crazy step in.
- 1:46:29Speaker 4: Elbow oh, yeah that's all the highlight of. THAT i
- 1:46:32Speaker 4: didn't know that was his, name BUT i know the.
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: Elbow talking about that, elbow do you know he had
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: a practice with his wife because his coach wouldn't let
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: him try. It, really his coach was, like stop doing.
- 1:46:41Speaker 1: That you're not gonna do. That he, Goes i'm gonna
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: hit him with. This he's, like, no you're not gonna do.
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: That stop training. That so we didn't want to train.
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: That so he told his wife to hold a. Pillow
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: so his wife was holding a pillow at home and
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: he was going like this over and over. Again he
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: wanted to do some box. Shit what a great, story
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: how that Was anderson, like people didn't people saw him
- 1:47:04Speaker 1: in his. Prime for, sure obviously he's one of the
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: greatest of all, time but for sure they didn't see
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: that transition to him becoming in his. Prime and that
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: was in cage, rage because he had some really good
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: fights In. Pride but then when he went to cage,
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: rage like something flip, man you know how it has
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: Like oliver era when it happened to him after he
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: had his. Kid you, know something flips sometimes when a
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: fighter just locks in and then they become who they really, Are.

- 1:47:49Speaker 4: The coaching like you were talking about, earlier, Right it
- 1:47:52Speaker 4: has been the hardest thing for me to let, go
- 1:47:55Speaker 4: like of control and give it to someone, else but it.

- 1:49:59Speaker 4: top that we have agreements only for a. Belt i'll
- 1:50:02Speaker 4: fight anyone on this planet for a, belt, anyone AND
- 1:50:05Speaker 4: i expect the same in return because it could change
- 1:50:07Speaker 4: their lives or my.
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: Own you.
- 1:50:08Speaker 4: Know, yeah so they know that about. Me but no
- 1:50:12Speaker 4: matter what the time frame, is if you say yes
- 1:50:14Speaker 4: to me or you say my, name we're gonna. Fight that's. It,
- 1:50:17Speaker 4: like that's how that's HOW i. Feel but those guys
- 1:50:19Speaker 4: are the guys THAT i have with and now they're
- 1:50:22Speaker 4: all coming to the. Top so it's, like you, know
- 1:50:24Speaker 4: someday it's it's probably gonna. Happen so it's, LIKE i don't.
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: Kind of, shit like guys won't fight.
- 1:50:30Speaker 4: Friends, yeah But i'll fight for a belt, though anyone
- 1:50:33Speaker 4: on the whole. Planet God, Zilla i'll fight for the whole.
- 1:50:35Speaker 4: BELT i don't. Care and god And i'll fight him
- 1:50:37Speaker 4: for a. BELT i don't, care like you know WHAT i,
- 1:50:38Speaker 4: Mean like it could change my whole, life like my,
- 1:50:40Speaker 4: families you. Know, Yeah so Like i'm very realistic because,
- 1:50:44Speaker 4: obviously even if you love to do this at this,
- 1:50:47Speaker 4: level it's about the money, Too like you, know it's financial, freedom.
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: Making intelligent choices because one slip up could set you
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: back two.
- 1:50:57Speaker 4: Years, Yeah i'm learning.
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: That, YEAH i learned that the hard. Way, well that's
- 1:51:01Speaker 1: also important to, learn. Right it's also important to have those.
- 1:51:04Speaker 1: Setbacks those setbacks are some of the most important growth
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: points in your, career in anybody's, career if you do it.
- 1:51:09Speaker 1: Right like those setbacks are when you feel that ugliness
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: and then you really have to assess what could have done?
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: Differently what AM i doing? Wrong what is there something
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: about my mindset or something about my? Diet is there
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: something about my? Recovery AM i doing too much of?
- 1:51:24Speaker 1: This or too little of. That you have to have
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: that pain if everything is just going. Great the thing
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: going into the fight Was. Aspinall's every fight other than
- 1:51:33Speaker 1: The Curtis blades fight was a one round. Fight it
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: was him blowing guys, out and so no one really
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: knew what was going to happen if we got into round,
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: three round, four round, five and so that question's always
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: hovering over the. Head when a guy like, you who's
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: been in those wars and been in the, trenches you've
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: already had that's a. Blessing it really is a blessing
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: because it gives you not just the motivation to return
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: better than you were. Before like look At bone after he, lost,
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: right he loses To, deritter comes back and Smokes Udolfo
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: vieira looked like a different, guy looks like a different.
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: Guy why because of? That there's a blessing in. Losing
- 1:52:11Speaker 1: there's a blessing in. Failure there really, is because if
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: you can swallow, it it will give you a fucking
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: furnace inside you to come back stronger if you can swallow.
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: It but some guys can't swallow. It they choke on
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: it and they cry and maybe their confidence gets shattered
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: and they're never the same, again or maybe they, go
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: why AM i doing? THIS i could be a. CARPENTER
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: i always wanted to play. Drums i've thought of.
- 1:52:35Speaker 4: THAT i thought of, that BUT i don't want to
- 1:52:37Speaker 4: go back to being a. Carpenter i'm good with.
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: THAT a guy Like tom, aspinall when he gets to
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: a fight with a guy Like innghanu or a guy
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: who's going to be, there those Questions And i'm not
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: saying that he wouldn't. Succeed i'm not saying he wouldn't,
- 1:52:49Speaker 1: win but those questions might be in your head because
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: you haven't been in those high profile wars before where
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: you came up.
- 1:52:57Speaker 4: Short you, KNOW i still get those. Questions i'm such
- 1:53:01Speaker 4: a perfectionist AND i know nothing will ever be, perfect
- 1:53:04Speaker 4: BUT i want as close to it AS i can.
- 1:53:06Speaker 4: Get This STILL i find. SOMETHING i will always find
- 1:53:10Speaker 4: something to be. Negative but what's helped me IS i
- 1:53:13Speaker 4: had a sports psychiatrist for a. While he was great
- 1:53:17Speaker 4: AND i learned a lot with, Him and for, me
- 1:53:20Speaker 4: it's it's been about Like i'm very like open with
- 1:53:23Speaker 4: people THAT i care about and THAT i know care
- 1:53:25Speaker 4: solely about. Me they're not worried about IF i win
- 1:53:27Speaker 4: or lose or you, know all that, stuff the. Fame
- 1:53:29Speaker 4: they're not worried about. That they care about me as a,
- 1:53:31Speaker 4: person and that was something that was great With ballah
- 1:53:34Speaker 4: And harassi and all the guys In, Chicago, Mike, max you,
- 1:53:37Speaker 4: know we talk. Regularly how are you, man how's the?
- 1:53:39Speaker 4: Family everything? Good how's How But i'm very open with
- 1:53:42Speaker 4: them leading up to the. Fight like there's a clip
- 1:53:44Speaker 4: from behind the scenes of the last fight Where I'm
- 1:53:46Speaker 4: i'm open and they catch it like it's just me being.
- 1:53:49Speaker 1: Vulnerable WHO i?
- 1:53:50Speaker 4: AM i was too manly or, whatever trying to suppress
- 1:53:53Speaker 4: it before where it just grew into something bigger AND
- 1:53:56Speaker 4: i would mentally shut. Down malcoun was the worst fight
- 1:53:59Speaker 4: for me for. THAT i was shaking in the bed
- 1:54:01Speaker 4: the night, before LIKE i thought LIKE i was, freezing
- 1:54:03Speaker 4: BUT i. WASN'T i was so nervous of, LIKE i
- 1:54:05Speaker 4: can't lose to this. Guy he's not on my. Level
- 1:54:07Speaker 4: and THEN i go out there and perform not that.
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: Well so your mind was fucking. You, Yeah BECAUSE i.
- 1:54:12Speaker 4: Find one negative thing AND i just focus AND i
- 1:54:14Speaker 4: make it.
- 1:54:14Speaker 1: HUGE i think it's. Good SOMETIMES i think it's good,
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: sometimes but it's it's like almost like you have to
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: be critical but yet also, confident.
- 1:54:22Speaker 4: Right AND i would take my confidence away by by
- 1:54:25Speaker 4: focusing on it but being able to talk about. It like,
- 1:54:28Speaker 4: again they had that. MOMENT i have it on My
- 1:54:30Speaker 4: instagram that they made a clip or whatever for, me
- 1:54:32Speaker 4: and it Was it's just literally it was two nights
- 1:54:36Speaker 4: before the, fight three nights before the, fight and we're
- 1:54:39Speaker 4: talking And i'm telling them he could get me, down he,
- 1:54:42Speaker 4: could he could finish. Me but if he finishes me
- 1:54:45Speaker 4: on the, ground he's got to be just that. Good
- 1:54:47Speaker 4: But i'm, nervous, Man i'm nervous That i'm not gonna
- 1:54:49Speaker 4: go out here and perform to WHAT i know THAT
- 1:54:51Speaker 4: i can. Do that's to, me that's the. WORST i
- 1:54:52Speaker 4: don't mind losing to someone that's better than. ME i
- 1:54:55Speaker 4: can take. IT i haven't found that man, yet BUT
- 1:54:59Speaker 4: i know it's gonna. Happen but to lose to someone
- 1:55:02Speaker 4: truly better than, ME i can accept. It but to
- 1:55:05Speaker 4: lose to, myself, oh, man to look in the, mirror
- 1:55:08Speaker 4: it eats me.
- 1:55:08Speaker 1: ALIVE i think those things that can creep into your
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: head before a fight WHERE i don't want to. LOSE
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: i don't want to disappoint. PEOPLE i don't want to do.
- 1:55:16Speaker 1: This then that is a really bad time to have those.
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: Thoughts it's not a bad time to have those thoughts
- 1:55:21Speaker 1: when you're working on. Stuff it's not a bad time
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: to have those. Thoughts like if you're really trying to
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: motivate yourself to get up in the morning and run
- 1:55:27Speaker 1: or whatever it, is like to really get after it
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: in strength and. Conditioning but when you're, fighting like you
- 1:55:33Speaker 1: have to have a strategy of how to squash those
- 1:55:36Speaker 1: thoughts when they come, up and it CAN i mean
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: it's not just. Fighting anybody who's listening to. This anything
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: in life that you have to do that's really difficult
- 1:55:42Speaker 1: and scares.
- 1:55:43Speaker 7: You you got to know how to squash negative thoughts before
- 1:55:48Speaker 7: they burn your house, Down like when you see the,
- 1:55:51Speaker 7: fire stop that bitch out, quick stomp it out, quick
- 1:55:54Speaker 7: and then make sure that you're starting to really only
- 1:55:58Speaker 7: focus on positive.
- 1:55:59Speaker 1: Things never let it getcause those little creepy demon thoughts
- 1:56:03Speaker 1: they'll get in and then they start running, around they
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: start running, around they start screaming and taking over your.
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: Brain you're, like get out of my, head get out
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: of my. Head but they already in. There you let him.
- 1:56:13Speaker 1: In you let him, in and sometimes they have to
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: burn your house down before you realize what the danger
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: is of them getting inside your, head, Right and so
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: then the next time you've got to come up with
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: a strategy to squash it before it gets too.
- 1:56:25Speaker 4: Crazy we did a lot of like at the beginning
- 1:56:28Speaker 4: of like sports, psychiatrists like that was one, thing, Right
- 1:56:30Speaker 4: LIKE i would suppress it right away and suppress, it
- 1:56:33Speaker 4: and they try to creep back, through And i'd suppress it.
- 1:56:34Speaker 4: Again but then it just gets bigger and stronger to
- 1:56:37Speaker 4: where it can just come. Out and you don't know
- 1:56:39Speaker 4: when it's gonna come. Out it could be the night
- 1:56:40Speaker 4: of the, fight it could be the day before the,
- 1:56:41Speaker 4: fight could be in the, fight you. Know so it's
- 1:56:44Speaker 4: like taking it in whatever that emotion is for, you dissecting,
- 1:56:48Speaker 4: it like literally get to the root of why you think, This, like,
- 1:56:52Speaker 4: OH i think he can knock me out IF i dissect, It, well,
- 1:56:55Speaker 4: yeah he's knocked a lot of guys. Out but anyone
- 1:56:57Speaker 4: can knock anyone, out, right anyone. Can so what are
- 1:57:00Speaker 4: you nervous? Of you've done this like for me over thirty,
- 1:57:02Speaker 4: Times like what are you worried. About you fought on
- 1:57:04Speaker 4: the biggest, Level you've main, Invented you're you're ranked in the.
- 1:57:07Speaker 4: World you fought some of the best in the. World,
- 1:57:09Speaker 4: like what are you worried?
- 1:57:09Speaker 1: About demon sneak into your?
- 1:57:11Speaker 4: Brain, yeah you, know and ONCE i dissect, It i've
- 1:57:14Speaker 4: worked on it like that so. Well and being open
- 1:57:17Speaker 4: and honest with my coaches and like the people that
- 1:57:19Speaker 4: care about and they care about me has been such
- 1:57:22Speaker 4: a great like thing for. Me i'm kind of the
- 1:57:24Speaker 4: guy like sometimes like Just i've learned about myself is just,
- 1:57:28Speaker 4: like just let me. Talk Sometimes i'm not a big,
- 1:57:31Speaker 4: talker but just let me. Talk if you don't even say.
- 1:57:34Speaker 4: Nothing but, damn that's all, right. Bro that's Why tuco
- 1:57:38Speaker 4: who always see me with normally he's always with. Me,
- 1:57:41Speaker 4: Bro he's the best at just like listening to. Me
- 1:57:44Speaker 4: like it's not very, often but WHEN i do want to,
- 1:57:46Speaker 4: talk like they, Bro, like he'll ask me what's, wrong
- 1:57:50Speaker 4: BUT i don't think you want to hear it?
- 1:57:51Speaker 1: Today Like i'm.
- 1:57:51Speaker 4: Good he'll ask me that a couple of. Times Eventually
- 1:57:54Speaker 4: i'll just let it out and Then i'm.
- 1:57:55Speaker 1: Good i'm. Good like you have to tell, somebody what
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: what's going on side your? Head and if you keep
- 1:58:00Speaker 1: it inside your, head there's the. Wings the wings are,
- 1:58:04Speaker 1: coming demon flying, monkeys bombs and launch, it launch.
- 1:58:12Speaker 4: It so it's like that's been great for, me that
- 1:58:15Speaker 4: that's really helped in. It you, Know i've had a
- 1:58:17Speaker 4: couple of younger kids that have asked, me how's? That
- 1:58:20Speaker 4: AND i turned them on to my god.
- 1:58:21Speaker 1: IT i used to use what did you do with the,
- 1:58:23Speaker 1: psychiatrist like how did what were the? Sessions like we.
- 1:58:26Speaker 4: Would talk about things like, this he'd have worksheets and
- 1:58:28Speaker 4: stuff like, this but you know what really really sunk.
- 1:58:31Speaker 4: In so first we worked on like learning to catch
- 1:58:34Speaker 4: emotions he called it something but learning to catch different
- 1:58:37Speaker 4: emotions before they grow so you can dissecting the. Fire, yeah.
- 1:58:40Speaker 4: Exactly so like recognizing first is recognizing anything you have to.
- 1:58:45Speaker 4: Recognize if you recognize it thirty minutes the first, time all,
- 1:58:49Speaker 4: right let's try for twenty five the next. Time don't
- 1:58:51Speaker 4: let it like you thought on it for thirty minutes
- 1:58:52Speaker 4: and they're, like what AM i thinking about? This let's
- 1:58:54Speaker 4: do twenty. Five so keep it until you can get
- 1:58:56Speaker 4: it like right. Away then we dissect it and then
- 1:58:59Speaker 4: we move on about our. Day things that helped me
- 1:59:01Speaker 4: at the beginning were, like does.
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: It help you talking with a different, person like another
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: person about this rather than just bounce it off your own? Head,
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: yes for. Sure something about talking to another person makes it.
- 1:59:13Speaker 4: Real, Yeah and it just like gets it, out Like
- 1:59:15Speaker 4: i'm holding it, in holding it, in holding it. In
- 1:59:17Speaker 4: as soon AS i. Talk it's like it's literally like
- 1:59:19Speaker 4: leaving my, body like the stress just kind of like
- 1:59:22Speaker 4: and sometimes they have like good things to, say like
- 1:59:24Speaker 4: things like like that my sports psychiast is the one
- 1:59:26Speaker 4: that told me those, things, Like, bro you've done this
- 1:59:28Speaker 4: how many times he fought these?
- 1:59:30Speaker 1: Guys like did he ever work with? Fighters?
- 1:59:32Speaker 4: Before he was working with a small team In New
- 1:59:34Speaker 4: orleans and now he like he's got other guys in
- 1:59:37Speaker 4: THE ufc now because they would ask me AND i
- 1:59:39Speaker 4: turned him on and he's he's. Great his name Is.
- 1:59:41Speaker 4: Eric he's really. Great he's From New.
- 1:59:42Speaker 1: Orleans BECAUSE i would think if a guy was like
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: a sports, psychiatrist like, tennis it's like some things would carry,
- 1:59:47Speaker 1: over but it's a very different.
- 1:59:49Speaker 4: Thing and he trained as, well he grew up wrestling and.
- 1:59:51Speaker 4: Stuff percy then exactly and it just it just uh
- 1:59:54Speaker 4: it worked out.
- 1:59:55Speaker 1: Great.
- 1:59:55Speaker 4: MAN i learned a, Lot LIKE i kind of figured
- 1:59:58Speaker 4: out what worked for. Me SO i was, like all,
- 2:00:00Speaker 4: right AND i get so. Busy but another thing he
- 2:00:03Speaker 4: gave me, was, uh you read it the, day like
- 2:00:06Speaker 4: after you weigh, in you read it and then you,
- 2:00:08Speaker 4: Finish like it has a part where it says read
- 2:00:10Speaker 4: up to this, point and then you read this the
- 2:00:12Speaker 4: rest of the section the day of the. Fight and
- 2:00:15Speaker 4: IT'S i forget the. AUTHOR i have it in my
- 2:00:17Speaker 4: phone somewhere that he sent me a long time, ago
- 2:00:19Speaker 4: AND i would read it before every fight everyone at
- 2:00:23Speaker 4: like The. Apex when we was in The apex all the,

- 2:00:48Speaker 4: the moment you start PUTTING i have to is the
- 2:00:51Speaker 4: moment you, start like he, says like put like, change
- 2:00:53Speaker 4: you hit the emergency stop, button the emergency break on your,

- 2:01:05Speaker 4: it is really like what helps.
- 2:01:07Speaker 1: Me is it a? Book it's like a little pampoy, Pamphlet,
- 2:01:10Speaker 1: yeah kind of how who wrote?
- 2:01:12Speaker 4: It it's in my. PHONE i can find it.

- 2:01:42Speaker 1: live a better. Life, like there's a lot of stuff out.
- 2:01:45Speaker 1: There it's very. Beneficial so when someone like yourself has

- 2:11:08Speaker 1: outstanding risks versus reward to stem. Cells on the, contrary
- 2:11:13Speaker 1: the evidence is outstanding, results including like some of the

- 2:20:02Speaker 4: Brothers, YES i knew that they were saying, that but
- 2:20:05Speaker 4: they were just kind of like going over like old
- 2:20:07Speaker 4: times and stories and like they were talking about that
- 2:20:10Speaker 4: because apparently like with they were saying, like, Well daniel
- 2:20:14Speaker 4: was saying like within the family because he's A, gracy
- 2:20:17Speaker 4: BUT i think he's like it was his mom or
- 2:20:21Speaker 4: something like that was so she's still A gracy but,
- 2:20:23Speaker 4: anyway or his, no his cousin was A, gracy so
- 2:20:27Speaker 4: technically like he's not a real Blood. GRACIE i don't.
- 2:20:30Speaker 4: Know they tried to explain. It it's very, weird but,
- 2:20:32Speaker 4: anyway we were there and they. Can't they don't talk about,
- 2:20:33Speaker 4: it like why there's a divide between this side of
- 2:20:37Speaker 4: the family and this. Side and they explained to like
- 2:20:40Speaker 4: even when they were, kids like they would go in
- 2:20:42Speaker 4: and get into, it like, say you'd go in and
- 2:20:44Speaker 4: you get in a fight in the, street just like
- 2:20:45Speaker 4: maybe you're twelve years. Old it, started they, said like
- 2:20:49Speaker 4: basically that young that like there was a divide between
- 2:20:51Speaker 4: whatever one and this.
- 2:20:53Speaker 1: One and.
- 2:20:55Speaker 4: Because they would go get in a fight and he
- 2:20:56Speaker 4: would come back and rat on, them and he was,
- 2:20:59Speaker 4: like who come, on you, know so it started as
- 2:21:02Speaker 4: that young and he said it was a. Lot it
- 2:21:04Speaker 4: wasn't even like oh it was just one, Time, no
- 2:21:06Speaker 4: like multiple, times you. Know so it was just interesting to,
- 2:21:09Speaker 4: hear like these stories that these guys had of like
- 2:21:12Speaker 4: when they were young in the, streets like fighting In.
- 2:21:14Speaker 1: Rio oh, yeah and there's a video Of hickson fighting
- 2:21:18Speaker 1: somebody on the. Beach, yeah they talk about.
- 2:21:20Speaker 4: It some guy talks about.
- 2:21:22Speaker 1: It they were talking to fighting in the, sand scrapping
- 2:21:25Speaker 1: on the. Beach dany was there for.
- 2:21:26Speaker 4: That daniel was. There he was the one that brought it.
- 2:21:29Speaker 4: Up he was there right, now he. Said he they
- 2:21:31Speaker 4: showed the picture of it and he was right in the.
- 2:21:33Speaker 1: Back hickson has a little surfer shorts.
- 2:21:35Speaker 2: On.
- 2:21:35Speaker 4: Yep he Even daniel explained how it. STARTED i don't
- 2:21:39Speaker 4: remember that exact, details but, dude it was, like.
- 2:21:42Speaker 1: Well they would dojo storm each. Other they would show
- 2:21:44Speaker 1: up at places and challenge Like luta Lev Ray gems
- 2:21:47Speaker 1: And luca Lev ray guys would show up with The gracie. Dojo.
- 2:21:50Speaker 1: Dude it was, like, yeah here it. Is look At
- 2:21:52Speaker 1: hickson with them beautiful colored shorts on and just smacks
- 2:21:56Speaker 1: them like come, on, baby it's on the, dude like
- 2:21:58Speaker 1: take your shoes, off come, on let's. Go, oh like
- 2:22:01Speaker 1: they're home my. Shoes. Bro these were wild, times, yeah
- 2:22:07Speaker 1: especially when you take into Consideration hickson's widely considered one
- 2:22:11Speaker 1: of the absolute greatest jiu jitsu practitioners of all, time you,
- 2:22:14Speaker 1: know and that he was willing to have these kind
- 2:22:16Speaker 1: of fights on the beach In, reo these no rules,
- 2:22:20Speaker 1: fights just surrounded by dudes and man. Thungs, YEAH i,
- 2:22:24Speaker 1: mean and not have any. Striking look See hickson's winging.
- 2:22:28Speaker 1: Punches these guys had no striking at. All it's really
- 2:22:31Speaker 1: kind of. CRAZY i, mean not ever saying there's anything
- 2:22:35Speaker 1: wrong with anything That hickson ever, did because he's like
- 2:22:37Speaker 1: one of the grace of all. Times but if you
- 2:22:39Speaker 1: look at the difference between a guy that is just
- 2:22:41Speaker 1: a pure grappler Like, hickson even when he fought in
- 2:22:44Speaker 1: Prot remember you come out with this throw those little stomp,
- 2:22:46Speaker 1: kicks just try to Get he's just getting you to the.
- 2:22:48Speaker 1: Ground it's all getting to the. Ground there's no one
- 2:22:51Speaker 1: like that, Now no one has very little stand. Up
- 2:22:55Speaker 1: there's no one who fights like.
- 2:22:56Speaker 4: That and it's crazy because there is like so many
- 2:22:58Speaker 4: stories about Like hoys wasn't even supposed to be the
- 2:23:01Speaker 4: one to, fight you, know he wasn't even supposed to
- 2:23:04Speaker 4: be the. One, yeah they're supposed to have the other.
- 2:23:07Speaker 1: One, Well hickson was always the champion of the, family
- 2:23:10Speaker 1: And hoyst had always said that The hickson was ten
- 2:23:11Speaker 1: times better than. Him, yeah he Said. Hickson hickson tapped
- 2:23:14Speaker 1: me every. Day every DAY i go to the, Gym
- 2:23:16Speaker 1: hickson tap. Me but it's just like that's just how it.
- 2:23:19Speaker 1: Was but there was all there was a lot of.
- 2:23:21Speaker 1: Rumors one of the rumors was, that so this is the,
- 2:23:25Speaker 1: Narrative hoys, says it's because he's so. Beautiful he's, like
- 2:23:28Speaker 1: look at his. Face of course they picked. Me that's
- 2:23:30Speaker 1: what he said on the. Podcast it was hilarious because
- 2:23:32Speaker 1: he's so, handsome But hickson's handsome, too so it didn't
- 2:23:35Speaker 1: make any, sense but it. WAS i think it's Because
- 2:23:38Speaker 1: hoys could show that it was the technique because Like
- 2:23:41Speaker 1: hickson was. Shredded, yeah and he was pretty jacked. TOO i,
- 2:23:45Speaker 1: mean he looked like like a world champion, athlete Whereas
- 2:23:48Speaker 1: hoys looked like one hundred and seventy pound guy who was,
- 2:23:51Speaker 1: like you, know not that, muscular and it was just.
- 2:23:54Speaker 1: Technique it was him using beautiful jiu jitsu technique that
- 2:23:58Speaker 1: nobody knew what it. Was it was like the best
- 2:24:00Speaker 1: advertisement ever for jiu jitsu when you see a one
- 2:24:03Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five pound guy tapping Out Dan. Severn you,
- 2:24:06Speaker 1: know it was this huge wrestler and catching our chemo
- 2:24:08Speaker 1: when he got him in that arm, bar like all
- 2:24:09Speaker 1: the shit That hoyst Did Ken shamrock when he tapped.
- 2:24:12Speaker 1: Him it's crazy to watch a guy that's like so
- 2:24:14Speaker 1: much smaller than everybody else dominate everyone and everyone was
- 2:24:17Speaker 1: afraid of. Him so it was like the perfect. Thing
- 2:24:20Speaker 1: and the thought, was, okay, well if he ever does,
- 2:24:22Speaker 1: lose we always Have, hickson, right and then But hickson
- 2:24:26Speaker 1: went off To japan and he Did Japan Valley tuto
- 2:24:29Speaker 1: and then he Did pride and you know, this it
- 2:24:33Speaker 1: was always, uh there was talk at one point in
- 2:24:35Speaker 1: time Of hickson fighting Fad. Or they were throwing money
- 2:24:38Speaker 1: around For hickson after he fought in That colosseum, show
- 2:24:42Speaker 1: WHICH i think was in two. Thousand when did he
- 2:24:45Speaker 1: Fight Fu? Naki when Did hickson Fight Fu? NAKI i

- 2:35:39Speaker 1: that was nineteen ninety. Seven that's.
- 2:35:41Speaker 4: Crazy that was the third PERSON i was trying to

- 2:40:37Speaker 4: DUDE i don't know much about Like demetrius as a,
- 2:40:39Speaker 4: person but from What i've seen of, him obviously because
- 2:40:42Speaker 4: you see more now that he's on like doing his
- 2:40:44Speaker 4: like streaming and, stuff he is like he's the. Best
- 2:40:48Speaker 4: he's the definition of a martial artist. Too he cares
- 2:40:50Speaker 4: about the pearness of being a martial artist rather than
- 2:40:53Speaker 4: the views or the belt or any of.
- 2:40:55Speaker 1: That respect that talking stupid shit just to get. Attention
- 2:40:59Speaker 1: he hates people to do that kind of. Stuff he
- 2:41:00Speaker 1: hates disrespectful. Stuff he's such a nice guy but also
- 2:41:04Speaker 1: just so smart about his approach to the. Sport just
