UFC 317 recap: Is Ilia Topuria the best fighter? · NY's Sports Loud Mouth (VIDEO)

0:00
He's got another story, but Major League Baseball steps in
0:02
and was like, oh, you can't hit him.
0:03
And they're like, you're going to escalate this.
0:04
We've had this issue a million times.
0:06
Yeah, that was fun, dude. Remember, like so and everyone
0:09
like now everybody knows. But the second time was because
0:12
I went at Tony Pena. I was thought I was going to
0:14
him. I was going to Tony because
0:15
Tony. I know well and the first time
0:17
was it's my first, it's my first day.
0:19
I got the bubble gums. I had to take a shit.
0:22
And so I was, I was on when you cleared the first time I heard
0:26
it, I was literally getting off the Cam and like, I'm running
0:31
out because, you know, the visiting, you got to go out and
0:33
then run down. So I'm like trying to run and
0:36
put my stuff together. They're like, you might want to
0:38
run out there. I was like, oh, this is a great
0:39
first impression. Yeah.
0:41
Sweet. Yeah, Well, yeah, you got a
0:43
second time, too. Brian Wolf also was making his
0:47
Major League debut that day as well.
0:48
For us. He came in.
0:50
Oh, sorry, I backtracked. That was the first time we
0:52
should have. Allison ended it when Brian made
0:54
his Major League debut and was asked to hit him and he didn't
0:58
do it 'cause it was his debut and he was too nervous to do it.
1:01
That's interesting. So, you know, obviously when I
1:03
was with you guys, I'm in the bullpen and we're in New York
1:06
and we here it is, we're fighting again.
1:07
Johnny Maggots hit or whatever. It is a fight.
1:09
And I'm running out with Mariano in slow motion 'cause I was
1:12
like, MO, I should be in a Blue Jays uniform right now.
1:14
And mom goes, hey, just jog slow.
1:17
And I was like, you're the best dude.
1:19
It's like the slowest walk ever. So I didn't have to get involved
1:21
in a fight wearing a Yu when I was part of what started that
1:25
whole shit thing that lasted 4 years.
1:27
Wow started it but. I think the golf clap of the day
1:30
has to be Jabba saying he had the bubble guts.
1:34
And those nerves are like, you can't duplicate those feelings
1:37
anywhere else in the world. I don't care, man.
1:39
Like this something that just takes over.
1:41
And that's what I'm saying about all this rush stuff, rushing
1:43
these guys to the big leagues. We're putting them in a
1:45
situation you don't realize what you're feeling and how long it
1:49
takes to to calm that down and be able to do your job when
1:53
you're feeling something you've never felt before.
1:55
Because there's nothing else that that gets to it.
1:58
And now you got to figure out how to get rid of all this
2:00
adrenaline and look at yourself as an equal and not look at,
2:04
holy shit, that's Derek Jeter. And look at, oh, there's a hole
2:07
here and a hole here and he does this and this county likes to do
2:10
this. And this dude takes a long time.
2:12
And those nerves are real. Well, I'll tell you what, my
2:15
golf clap of the day goes to you for joining us, for joining us.
2:19
Okay, Josh, we love you. We do.
2:22
We love you man. We love what you do.
2:24
You do so many great things to reach out to your son.
2:28
Tell your son we love him and keep up the good work on.
2:30
I'm looking forward to seeing him, you know, get back into,
2:33
you know, baseball and pitching and getting.
2:36
East East Carolina, he'll be there.
2:38
He was there on that team and they're a good program, so he'll
2:40
be there. Maybe, maybe we'll link your son
2:42
and Jabba's son together. How about that?
2:44
Now where's he at? What's going on with that?
2:46
He's a sophomore. He he's at Hutch right now.
2:49
Oh, nice. OK.
2:50
Yeah, he was. He was a two way and then wanted
2:52
to figure it out and then so he just got a PRP in his elbow so.
2:56
So we've had that done too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:58
Does he throw fuzz? He's.
2:59
Like 1994. Jesus.
3:02
So it goes fast. So they're about the same.
3:03
Yeah. Nice. 656-5210 It's a.
3:08
Beautiful frame your last name. How about Java?
3:12
Did you think you had a beautiful frame?
3:16
Wide. That's right, as long as you're
3:20
hiding the ball and it sneaks up a little bit, good Java is a.
3:23
Beast, Could you imagine Josh Towers?
3:26
You know he's in a dugout, goes up to job as there's.
3:29
Man, you got a beautiful frame. I've I've heard worse, trust me.
3:37
Josh, we love you, man. We love.
3:39
You. I love you.
3:40
Thank you. Absolutely, Josh.
3:42
Good to see you, Josh. I love Josh.
3:47
You know why? Because his personality, he he's
3:50
just very, very funny. He's very fluent and he doesn't
3:53
give a crap. He will say whatever he wants is
3:56
he's just like Jabba. No wonder why they click.
3:59
I mean, it went when it came back and and the bubble, what
4:02
would he call it? Bubble guts, Bubble guts.
4:06
Jabba, I expect that to be your the most used sound bite of
4:09
yours next. Week.
4:11
And those things are real, man. Bubble guts.
4:13
Beautiful frame, I'm sorry, beautiful frame, I'm sorry.
4:21
That was funny when he said. Definitely, definitely get fish
4:25
to make a graphic. What is the most beautiful frame
4:28
for you? I said why?
4:33
UFC 317 featured 2 main event championship fights, both ending
4:39
in under 3 minutes. In the flyweight championship
4:42
fight, Alexander on Toha defended his title by beating
4:46
Kai Kara Franzau with a rear naked chokehold.
4:51
By the way, fantastic finish. When you get a chance to watch
4:54
somebody put a rear naked chokehold, it's it's really in
4:57
mixed martial arts now. It's almost impossible.
4:59
You don't see that anymore despite being ranked #9 in the
5:03
UFC rankings, Pantola said he is no doubt a top 4 fighter in the
5:10
UFC after that win, the lightweight championship match,
5:14
Ela Tupara knocked out Charles Oliveira, which by the way, was
5:18
one of the most unbelievable knockouts I've seen in a long
5:22
time, just in 2 minutes and 27 seconds into the fight.
5:25
And by the way, before the fight, he actually told, he
5:29
predicted, he predicted he was going to knock him out in the
5:31
first round, which is unbelievable.
5:33
So that is that by itself is a crazy, crazy story.
5:38
So Ilya became one of just 10 UFC fighters ever to win a
5:45
championship belt in two different weight classes.
5:47
After becoming champion, Ilya is likely to fight Armand Soyukiyan
5:53
and Justin Gagey or maybe even Patty Piblet to defend his
5:58
title. And Ilya says he would like to
6:01
fight Patty. I would love, love to see Ilya
6:04
and Patty fight. I I, I think that he doesn't.
6:07
Deserve a fight right now. Who?
6:09
Patty. No, he just sells fights.
6:12
He doesn't. He's he's #8 you don't give an
6:14
eighth ranked guy against him. Yeah, but that's the only person
6:17
in two weight classes to be undefeated.
6:18
Say that, say that, say that about Conor McGregor and when it
6:21
comes to. Putting yeah, no, I get it.
6:23
I understand he's he's 2 point O.
6:25
First of all, I think Topuria right now is the number one
6:29
ranking fighter right now in the UFCI.
6:31
Think now after knocking Charles Olivera.
6:33
Olivera was in the top five, top 6 even with some of the latest
6:37
losses that Olivera has had. Olivera has been one of the top
6:41
five fighters the UFC has had in a very long time.
6:45
And knockout fighter. Mixed martial artists can take
6:49
you down. Wrestling, jiu jitsu, black
6:51
belt. I mean, Charles Olivera is a
6:54
great fighter, but the way Iliad just knocked him out the way he
6:57
did with two minutes and 27 seconds into the fight was just
7:01
absolutely incredible. And it says a lot about who he
7:04
is as a fighter because when he comes out, there are a lot of
7:06
fighters that come out and say, oh, I'm going to do this, I'm
7:08
going to do that and never do that.
7:10
As we all know, Conor McGregor for years has done things and
7:13
said things that never came to fruition.
7:15
But I this guy is as a dominant as a fighter.
7:18
We've seen really since I, I would say Jon Jones.
7:22
I mean Jon Jones, who, by the way, just retired recently and
7:26
he's I don't think he's ever going to come back again.
7:28
It's pretty obviously that he's not.
7:30
But Ilia, what he did on Saturday night just shows you
7:34
why the UFC has been looking for a superstar fighter to to move
7:38
forward with and he is that guy now.
7:41
Is he going to stay in those weight classes?
7:42
Which class is he going to stay in?
7:44
And it it being that he has dominated his weight class, Does
7:48
he move up in weight class? Does he move up maybe 2-2
7:51
weights two classes to to fight against better competition?
7:55
I obviously he's in a, in a weight class right now that he
7:58
has been really the best fighter in it and maybe he dips to one
8:02
55150 now that's a lot of weight.
8:06
I, I think right now he would have to dip.
8:08
What is it 15 lbs? I'm not I'm not quite sure.
8:11
Let's get Jake in here because Jake is the big UFC guy and I,
8:14
I, I know Jake has followed a lot of UFC fights.
8:17
I'm sure he watched this card 317.
8:21
I watched bits and pieces. I watched the final fight.
8:24
I watched bits and pieces of the rear naked chokehold which you
8:26
don't see in. By the way, anymore, did you?
8:29
Did you not see the best fight of the night?
8:31
What? Are you talking about which one?
8:32
Which one is that? Joshua Van and Brandon rival.
8:36
Yeah, that. I was going to say Java.
8:37
Thank you for that. Joshua Vaughn was honestly, it
8:41
was probably fight of the night. I know Ilya's knockout of
8:43
Charles was fantastic. They did, they did.
8:45
They won Fight of the Night. Yeah, Alexandria Pantoja against
8:49
Kaikar France like Pantoja put on a fantastic performance as
8:52
well. But that fight, Brandon Rival
8:54
and Joshua Vaughn was so. They didn't.
8:56
They didn't stop. No.
8:58
I was exhausted and they were just taking licks too and it was
9:02
a non-stop. It was.
9:03
It was so fun to watch. I just watched.
9:06
I didn't, I didn't watch the, the I only watched the final two
9:09
fights of the main card. I didn't watch the whole card,
9:11
the whole 5 fight card. I didn't even watch the
9:14
preliminaries. I, I didn't get a chance because
9:16
I was DJ ING that night and I was pretty much working.
9:19
So I was watching it on my phone.
9:21
But I, I wanted to watch the Oliveira fight because Ilya, you
9:24
know, this fight was being, you know, graded as one of the best
9:29
fights the UFC has put together and probably the last five
9:31
cards. And this wasn't even a fight.
9:34
I mean, in 2 minutes, Ilia just pretty much dominated the fight
9:39
2 minutes and Charles Oliveira has never been knocked out like
9:42
that ever. I've never seen Charles Oliveira
9:44
just completely get his ass knocked out the way he did.
9:48
So it was incredible. That was an incredible show,
9:52
show of just dominating and and why he's probably the best pound
9:56
for pound fighter right now the UFC has.
9:58
I mean, who's better than him right now?
10:00
Who's better? Than no he he is number one
10:02
right now. Yeah, right, Rightfully so.
10:04
And you're definitely right, Errol.
10:05
I think like that's what was so crazy about is like Charles
10:07
Olivera has been taken down before, but never like that.
10:10
Just absolutely slept like Ilia is punching power.
10:14
Like I know everyone was thinking like, oh, is he really
10:16
going to be able to hang at 1:55 and is he going to have that
10:19
same power? And there's no doubt at all
10:22
after that after knocking out Charles Olivert, sleeping him
10:25
like the KO victory like that. I was absolutely phenomenal.
10:28
And I know I know you said you didn't watch this fight, but I
10:30
just got to show you this this clip really quick.
10:32
The ending of this of Roy Vall and Vaughn, like this fight was
10:35
absolutely this ending was so like it was such a breakneck
10:39
pace. It was a phenomenal fight.
10:41
They were just going at each other the entire night, putting
10:44
on a show for the fans. Like this is definitely one
10:45
fight of the year. You should definitely check this
10:47
out. Errol, this is.
10:48
Like the last, I'll watch the. Card but it was it was so close
10:52
back and forth and you know it right here at the OR close
10:56
Brandon Roy Val was was tagging Joshua Vaughn, but Vaughn was
10:59
answering right back and it gets almost to a photo finish near
11:02
the end here where Joshua Vaughn almost finishes the fight.
11:06
But you know, Brandon, Roy, Val just hung around the entire time
11:08
and they bloodied the hell out of each other and it was it.
11:11
Was and it was this pace the entire time.
11:13
Oh my God, yeah. They never, they never stopped.
11:15
They never is a breakneck pace the entire fight.
11:17
Did you, did you see him keep slipping too?
11:19
I didn't know if that was like sweat or like what, because he
11:23
kept. Slipping.
11:23
Yeah. I don't know, I I think it might
11:24
it maybe it was the canvas because like, they were going
11:27
really fast. Like there wasn't too much
11:28
blood. I mean, they were bleeding
11:29
definitely. So it wasn't from the previous
11:31
fights, but it must have been just from previously, like,
11:34
right there. Like it was almost finished by
11:35
Joshua Fond. Like he was ready.
11:37
And Brandon Warval was like trying to do everything he could
11:39
to scramble and just make sure he can make it because, you
11:41
know, like 10 seconds right there left like that.
11:43
Finally, me and my brother or my brother, he had a bed on for the
11:47
fight to just go to the decision and right there like Joshua
11:51
Vaughn takes down Brandon where about 5-6 seconds left there
11:54
like Oh my God, like it might really end here like at a photo
11:56
finish. I will say this, I I'm going to
11:59
get a chance to watch the whole card.
12:00
I'll probably not tonight, but over the weekend I'll get a
12:03
chance to watch 317 again. I the the fight that I wanted to
12:07
watch. I want to watch Elia and I
12:09
wanted to watch Charles. Oliveira is one of my favorite
12:11
fighters. I've always rooted for Charles
12:12
because he's such a likable person and so very well, well,
12:16
well respected in the UFC. He doesn't go out there and talk
12:19
crap. He goes out there and fights and
12:20
even when they were doing the weigh insurance, how respectful
12:23
both of these guys are to one another.
12:26
You didn't when Elia knocked him, knocked him out.
12:28
He actually, after he knocked him out, he wanted to make sure
12:31
that he was OK because he was worried about Charles Oliveri
12:34
getting knocked out the way he did.
12:35
So it just shows you the type of respect these two guys have for
12:39
one another. And yeah, I, I think Ilia is the
12:42
best pound for pound fighter right now the UFC has to offer.
12:45
But that says a lot about who he is.
12:47
This guy, if you remember when he came into the UFC, he had to
12:51
work his way up to the top and the UFC never gave him any, any
12:57
light move, you know, lightweight all the way to the
12:59
top. He had to earn his way to the
13:01
top. When you, when you talk about
13:02
Conor McGregor, Conor McGregor, when he came into the UFC, it
13:06
took maybe 3 or 4 fights before the UFC and obviously Dana White
13:10
fell in love with him and then he was moving up and ranking so
13:13
fast. This guy, it took him a while to
13:15
get where he was and now you know, he's 2728 years old.
13:19
He, he, he's unbelievable. I I honestly think right now
13:23
there's nobody in the UFC that could beat this guy in three
13:27
different classes. He can move up 10 more pounds,
13:30
15 more pounds. This guy is one of the best
13:33
boxers, stand up fighters I've seen in a very long time really
13:37
since Jon Jones. I mean, you look at Jon Jones
13:39
and what he could do with his legs and throwing punches, his
13:41
combination, That's what this this kid can do.
13:44
I mean, he could do so many things.
13:46
And by the way he trains, he does kickboxing, Muay Thai.
13:49
This guy is as good a fighter all around, fighter we've seen
13:52
in a very, very long time. Yeah, no, I think you're
13:55
definitely right. You point out the fact with Ilya
13:56
Tapori and how like the the similarities with Conor
13:59
McGregor. I should have put this this
14:00
photo up here really quick. I saw this Ilya and he
14:03
apparently DM Ed Conor McGregor way back in the day.
14:06
This poster here in Conor just put it up on his social media
14:09
for not too long ago right there.
14:10
Congratulations. I'm going to be you somedays.
14:12
Fair play, son. And I think it's such an
14:15
interesting thing to think about that, you know, Ilya it, it's
14:18
I'm not, again, I'm not calling him Conor McGregor, but he
14:21
definitely has that fighting style, that quickness, that,
14:25
that pull, that that star power. And like you and me, we were
14:28
going back and forth about how who should be the next face of
14:30
the UFC and we were talking about Merab.
14:31
And he definitely has the the skill, But Ilia has that, that
14:35
like that, that star power or whereas Merab's kind of he's a
14:40
little, he does run his mouth sometimes, but he's a little bit
14:42
more quiet. He's more humble.
14:43
Ilia has that like booming confidence on the on the brink
14:47
of, you know, cockiness. And it's like it's such a
14:49
strange thing because you like want to hate on Ilia.
14:52
But then again, he is very respectful.
14:53
Like I thought I couldn't believe like at the press fight
14:57
or pre fight press conference, he was straight up telling
15:00
Charles Oliver to his face, this isn't how I wanted to do I
15:02
wanted to fight Makachev. And he said, I I I've already
15:06
won. I've got the victory.
15:07
And like in his face and I'm telling I'm like, how can you
15:09
say that to a man? Like you're about to go to war
15:11
with this guy and you're telling him I already beat you.
15:13
And and literally he said, I'm going to knock.
15:15
I'm going to knock, right. Yeah, like job, you're right.
15:19
He he said, I'm going to knock him out in the first round.
15:22
And he did it with ease. Like I will say this, Charles,
15:25
that one moment he had in the match where he had Ili in the in
15:28
the heel hook. If he if he clamped that in and
15:31
he got it on Ilia, he probably would have because it's one of
15:34
the worst injuries you can have. Like it's something that you do
15:37
not want to stay in connected to your Achilles.
15:39
Tenant if once you. Get a like.
15:42
You can RIP somebody'd Achilles. Tenant right quick, but I will
15:45
say Ilia, he didn't panic, he didn't forget.
15:47
He scrambled like confidently almost, which was insane because
15:51
it's like normally most times fighters in there, they panic
15:53
and you know, it's like you get twitchy, especially with Charles
15:55
Oliveri saw once he was on the ground, like Ilia was kicking
15:58
him a couple of times, but he didn't he didn't want to go to
16:00
the ground with Ilia at all. But even when he was in that
16:02
dangerous position, he didn't you know, he didn't panic.
16:04
He didn't scramble like like in a fear.
16:08
He was confident. He got out of it quickly.
16:10
He kept tagging Charles. And what was interesting to me
16:12
was is that Charles pursued Ilia a lot and that felt like Ilia
16:18
normally is pressuring all his opponents.
16:20
And despite the fact he's only 5-7 and I don't believe his
16:23
reach is very long. And and Charles had such a huge
16:26
frame and a reach compared to Ilia, but he was pressuring Ilia
16:29
the whole time. So it was almost like Ilia
16:31
baited him in just waiting for him to keep coming and keep
16:33
popping in with that jab. And then he found that right
16:36
hand and knocked him out. You mentioned Merab and, and the
16:38
only reason why I think Ilia right now is a little bit ahead
16:41
of Merab right now, because Merab is, is a small guy.
16:44
I don't know if he could fight in any higher or bigger weight
16:48
classes because he's really small.
16:50
Ilya, he's not a small man. The guy could he, he drops like
16:54
30 lbs before his fights. He could fight, he could fight
16:58
at 175, he could fight at 185 if he really wants to and he throws
17:02
really, really hard and and the ability.
17:05
That. He has the way he throws, he
17:07
could fight in the higher weight classes and knock a lot of guys
17:10
out in the bigger and the heavier weight classes.
17:11
So I that's why I think Ilya is the best, best fighter, best
17:15
pound for pound fighter right now the UFC has, and it's so
17:18
funny because Joe Rogan after the fight and the way he Joe
17:22
Rogan wanted to get on his hands and knees and suck him off.
17:24
I mean, Joe Rogan absolutely loves Ilya.
17:29
And you saw it after the fight. Oh, you're the greatest fighter.
17:32
This is one of the greatest dominating fights against one of
17:35
the greatest fighters the UFC has ever had.
17:37
And, and really, Charles Dellavera is a great UFC
17:40
fighter. This guy has been a multiple
17:42
champion. This guy is, is, is he's a black
17:45
belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He's a good boxer, he's a good
17:48
wrestler. He's all around fight games.
17:50
Is, is as good as we've seen in a very, very long time.
17:53
And then he's this guy goes into the ring and says, you know, I'm
17:56
going to knock you out in the first round and embarrass him
17:59
right in front of national crowd and, and the national fans
18:02
around the world and just really showed why the UFC now has the
18:06
next guy. And by the way, Ilia is so much
18:09
better than Conor McGregor ever was.
18:11
For anybody to think that, you know, you're trying to compare
18:14
who is better at the top of their game.
18:17
Ilia is a better fighter than Conor McGregor was.
18:19
Now Conor McGregor had that knockout punch.
18:21
He had that left hand. We all know what Conor McGregor
18:24
is. He was more of a boxer.
18:26
His Muy Thai suck sucked. His ground fighting sucked.
18:29
He had no stamina whatsoever. Ilia has stamina.
18:32
He's got the ground fighting, he's got the stand up power,
18:35
he's got everything. So for anybody to try to compare
18:39
Ilia to the Conor, there's no comparison.
18:42
Ilia if he fought Conor McGregor at the top of his game, he
18:45
knocks Conor McGregor out. I, I will say I would have loved
18:49
to see that fight. I I think it would be kind of
18:51
close just because of if you remember prime Connor, just how
18:54
he he had that. I understand his stamina was not
18:56
there and Ilia was definitely a better ground fighter.
18:58
We haven't really haven't seen it though, no, because Ilia's
19:00
just been knocking everybody out left to right, but he definitely
19:03
wasn't. But Connor was a very like
19:06
traditional striker and then he of course, he worked on his
19:08
boxing when he went to go fight Floyd Money, Mayweather and
19:10
things of that nature. But it would, it would be
19:13
interesting to see. But like, I think I honestly
19:15
like, and maybe this is just like recently by saying, but I
19:18
might have to give it to Ilia because it's his power like
19:21
again. And he's fast, like Connor was
19:23
the same way. But Ilia, it's just like it's
19:25
it's lightning quick and you, it just comes out of nowhere and it
19:27
doesn't really make sense. And the fact that he moved up to
19:30
weight and it seems like the power's still there.
19:32
That's what's crazy to me. And and I know we talked about
19:36
you said he could probably move up another weight class and
19:38
personally, but I think what's going to happen is depending on
19:40
whatever happens with Islam Mahachev and Jack Dellamandalena
19:43
at with the. Names.
19:44
I'm not going to love with you on that.
19:46
Depending on what happens at welterweight, whether Islam is
19:50
to win or lose, I think Ilia will probably wait for Islam The
19:54
only. Personally me I'm a big Justin
19:57
Gaichi fan so I would love to see Justin Gaichi fight Ilia
20:00
Zeporia because I think Justin Gaichi does have the power to
20:02
match to Poria although I am worried about.
20:05
His speed because I feel like he would be really.
20:07
Fat or cagey? Too much gagey drops, right?
20:09
I'm not. His defense is.
20:12
It does scare me a lot of times because he eats a lot of shots
20:15
and you can't with Ilya, you cannot.
20:18
You can not get tagged over and over again.
20:20
But is an amazing he has an amazing jab.
20:23
He could throw the jab and he sets up I Ilia to me when you
20:29
look at the context of trying to compare his skill, his stand up
20:32
skill to somebody, it would probably be Jon Jones.
20:36
That would be the guy. Jon Jones obviously bigger and
20:38
stronger than he was. But what what Ilia does so well
20:42
is his stand up game hit, the way he sets up punches, the way
20:45
he sets up combinations and then he doesn't need to take you
20:48
down. He dominates you from the waist
20:50
up and he makes sure that you can feel how hard he throws his
20:54
punches. As a matter of fact, Charles
20:56
Aloe Vera at at the press conference after the fight, he
20:58
says that was the hardest punch I've ever felt in my UFC career.
21:02
Could you imagine Oliver coming out and saying that and, and,
21:06
and he's fought some of the best fighters UFC has ever had.
21:09
And he said that was one of the hardest punches I've ever felt
21:12
in my career. That says a lot about the power
21:14
Ilia has and, and what he can do to people.
21:17
It doesn't matter what weight class.
21:18
That's what makes him special. And I, and again, I'm going to
21:21
tell you this right now, I don't think this guy is going to be
21:24
beaten. I don't care.
21:25
In the next three years, I think this guy is going to dominate.
21:28
He's going to give up one of those belts.
21:30
I wouldn't even be surprised if he says, OK, I'm I'm dominated
21:33
this division. I've dominated this division.
21:35
I want to go into this division because I want to be the first
21:38
three division champion the UFC has ever had because nobody had
21:41
on that. Yeah, I have heard that take.
21:44
Like they said, like Iliad, like he's so good and he probably
21:46
won't be like, even though I want him to fight somebody's
21:49
like I want him to fight Armand Saruki.
21:50
I want him to fight Justin Gaichi and I want to like, I
21:52
think Patty Pym. Like obviously there is the
21:54
rivalry there. It's he's not ready yet.
21:55
Like he doesn't deserve. I know Joe Rowan called him out
21:58
and said like, hey, you know, we could see this fight between you
22:00
and Patty because you guys have had your beef.
22:01
I think it's probably going to be Armand Saruki and or Justin
22:04
Gaichi. And they'll probably have Patty
22:05
fight someone like Dan Hooker or maybe he'll fight Gaichi or
22:09
Armand and the other will be we'll get the chance against
22:11
Ilia first. But yeah, I think they UFC
22:13
definitely want to set up Islam versus Ilia and that's probably
22:17
going to be the matchup that everyone wants to see.
22:19
Is I'll throw this up here too. This was the the pound rankings
22:23
after the pay-per-view. And you know, Ilia, obviously
22:25
the number one spot, Islam at #2 maraba #3 Drakus Duplessy at #4
22:30
and then Pantoja, you know, getting his respect that I think
22:32
he violently deserves, deserved to be in that higher rankings in
22:35
the pound for pound rankings. I think he arguably probably
22:37
should be #4 I do like Drakus, but I think that Pantoja has
22:41
proved over the last couple of fights he's had, you know, Cara
22:45
France, Arison as well. And he's, he's just been
22:49
dominant and fantastic. And they I think they definitely
22:52
want to see to Pori and Makachev.
22:54
And like you say like I love Justin Gaichi but I am nervous
22:58
for that fight. I think Ilia would also dominate
23:00
Arma. I think he would dominate Patty.
23:02
Like to me Islam is the only guy that I would think it will be a
23:06
good fight. It won't just be Ilia is
23:09
knocking someones ass out again. And that's the problem because
23:12
Islam, he he likes to and this is down the truth.
23:15
He wants to take you down. He wants to wrestle you and take
23:17
you down. And and you're going to get the
23:18
chance to see what Ili could do on the ground because that's
23:21
what Islam is going to do. But.
23:23
Islam does have hands, though. I will say like he can, he can
23:26
like to me like if you look at him in versus Khabib, like
23:29
Khabib was a straight wrestler. Like he could he could box, but
23:33
he he just wanted to take you to the cage, tire you out, wear on
23:36
your ground and pound and hurt you.
23:38
Like if you like, you remember the fight with Dustin Poirier
23:40
and Islam Mahashev, like Islam was boxing with Dustin pouring.
23:45
That's somebody you don't want to stand up on the ground game
23:47
with and box with. Like so I would love to see that
23:50
fight. Like again, like you said,
23:51
though, I don't think he'll want to trade with Ilia.
23:53
He'll probably take him down and wrestle him and hire him out and
23:56
we'll get to see how Ilia does. But that's that's the fight to
23:59
make. Well we'll see what happens it's
24:01
fun with the UFC and again, I haven't really watched the full
24:04
card. I will watch 317 this weekend.
24:07
It's 4th of July weekend and by the way, I wish everybody a
24:11
happy 4th of July. We'll say that after the show,
24:13
but it it's crazy because I never got a chance to watch it.
24:17
Everybody kept telling me how how good the card was.
24:20
The only two fights that I got a chance to see is the final two
24:22
fights. And I I thought that the Ilia
24:25
fight really stood out for me because I like Ilia.
24:28
I think he, he's up, you know, obviously he's been around for a
24:31
while, but he's up and coming when I mean by up and coming,
24:34
he's it's going to be very hard to to see anybody in any of
24:38
these weight classes beat this kid because the guy is so
24:40
confident and so careful when he's he, he's so, you know,
24:45
precise the way he boxes and way he stands up against people that
24:49
the only way you're going to beat him is taking him down.
24:51
And nobody's ever done that. So until somebody does that,
24:55
good luck trying to stand up with him and trying to knock
24:57
this guy out because the guy's got heavy hands.
25:00
And like Charles Oliveira said at his press conference, this is
25:03
the he is the hardest puncher he's ever been in the ring with.
25:06
So that says a lot about him as a fighter and and how how
25:09
dangerous and how scary this guy could be for the future and the
25:13
US. He's only 27 years old too.
25:15
So he's got a lot of fights left and a lot of opportunities to
25:19
really show who he is. Might go down as the greatest
25:22
UFC fighter of all time. He's got a lot he's got a lot to
25:24
go. But Jon Jones to me, as much as
25:27
everybody says Jon Jones is the greatest fighter of all time.
25:30
To me, he might be the greatest bitch of all time because when
25:32
he I'm. Just so pissed off with Jon
25:34
Jones. And that why?
25:36
Why do you think he didn't want to fight absent all though?
25:37
Because he knows he's going to lose.
25:40
I mean, yeah, it was the there are the legal like a parent,
25:42
apparently. I think there are some legal
25:43
cases that just came up with him.
25:45
He might have gotten into a like a hit and run accident or
25:48
something like that. But to me, the guy I agree with
25:50
Errol, like I think he knows that he's older now.
25:53
He beat up on steep a who was like 40 plus years old, which
25:56
like steep AI got. I respect to him.
25:58
What grace heavyweight of all time, but he just didn't have it
26:00
anymore. He took the easy fight, but the
26:01
payday and like. Well, yeah, and Steep a was he
26:05
was firefighting 90. Percent yeah.
26:07
And he like been laid off for like 3 to 4, like he hadn't
26:10
fought in like 3 plus years. And it's like you're just not
26:13
going to be in fighting shape to go up against the heavyweight
26:15
champ like Jon Jones, like the guy who's arguably the best in
26:18
the world right now. Like I think Tom Aspinall would
26:20
have won and I wanted to see that fight.
26:22
I'm so freaking pissed off with Jon Jones for quitting.
26:25
And like, like you said, I think he bitched out on it and it
26:28
bitched out a lot of. I mean, Dana White said the
26:30
fight was done and they said they had it ready, but Jon just
26:33
wanted to drag it along and be a duck like let.
26:35
Me tell you something about Aspinall and why I like Tom
26:38
Aspinall. After he heard that he was he
26:42
was firing, he didn't go after he didn't attack Jon Jones.
26:45
He wished him nothing but the best and he and he showed how
26:48
much class Aspinall has. He he went out there and said,
26:51
listen, he's one of the greatest fighters of all time.
26:54
I understand when when somebody wants to walk away from the
26:56
fights and spend time with his family.
26:58
I wish him nothing but the best and I hope I hope he gets the
27:01
chance to spend the time that he wants with his family, which he
27:04
hasn't over the last couple of years.
27:05
That says a lot about Aspinall and and the type of person that
27:08
he is as a professional because he could have went out and
27:11
attacked Jon Jones and told him go F himself.
27:13
He didn't do that. That's something Connor would
27:15
do. Espinal did not do that.
27:17
And that's something that yeah, the class and the respect that
27:19
you have to have for a fighter that could go down as the
27:22
greatest MMA, greatest mixed martial artist, UFC fighter of
27:26
all time in Jon Jones. So.
27:28
Yeah, I think like you said, like Tom definitely would have
27:31
been 100% justified in calling Jones a bitch and just telling
27:34
him like he's a Jackass or whatever because he, I mean,
27:36
wasted a year of Tom Espinal's prime.
27:39
Like he was literally sitting on the shelf just training, working
27:42
hard. And they and Dana White and
27:43
Hunter Campbell and all them just said just stay ready.
27:45
Just stay ready. Like keep training, keep, you
27:48
know, be in shape. We'll, we'll tell you when the
27:49
fight is. And they just had to be at the
27:51
bend with the. Wall but they and the crazy part
27:53
is they said it more than once that we're either close or yeah,
27:56
it's almost a done deal and so it's like.
27:59
I, I this is Dana. White's fault.
28:01
This is Dana White's fault, by the way.
28:02
Yeah. I, I think realistically they,
28:04
they probably didn't have the fight ever ready.
28:06
Like maybe they maybe they like verbally agreed to it, but I
28:10
don't think it was ever written in in like a contract or was
28:12
never signed by Jones and Aspen. Like they probably were just
28:15
saying that just to like keep people's interest around.
28:18
Because I will say I was excited for it.
28:20
But like I heard tons of people online and UFC fans around the
28:23
world, like they didn't really care or they didn't want to
28:25
watch the fight anymore because it's like you kept dangling in
28:28
front of us and then you was like, you never gave it to us.
28:30
It was like, people aren't going to give a shit anymore.
28:31
Like similarly, like with Connor, like I wanted to see
28:34
Connor versus Michael Chandler and Connor kept getting in his
28:37
party and in his legal troubles. And it's like now most people
28:39
don't even really care. Like Michael Chandler, he went,
28:43
he moved on, he moved on. I didn't want.
28:46
I didn't want to see Connor and and Michael Chandler because to
28:49
me. I'm just saying that like if you
28:51
wait too long. No, I wanted.
28:52
To see, I wanted to see Connor and Nate Diaz 3.
28:55
That's what I wanted to see. For the years.
28:57
That's what I wanted to see because honestly, Nate Diaz won
29:00
both fights and Conor McGregor only won the second fight
29:03
because if he lost that fight, his career would have been over
29:05
with the UFC because he lost two consistently after, you know,
29:09
before and after that fight. I mean, Connor won out of the
29:13
five, his five last fights, I think he won two fights.
29:15
He lost three of them. He was just inconsistent at the
29:18
tail end of his career. And why?
29:21
Because Conor McGregor had to fight Floyd Mayweather for the
29:23
money. Now, I'm not going to take shots
29:25
at him. He made $100 million.
29:26
He invested in it to whiskey and from there he sold it for almost
29:31
$600 million. You're not going to take a shot
29:33
at a guy that was, you know, living off the streets and and
29:36
working as a plumber or an assistant plumber when he was in
29:39
Ireland and then became one of the one of the great popular
29:43
fighters the UFC has ever had. I just I don't like Connor
29:46
because of what he has done after the fact and what he has
29:49
said after the fact, no matter who he fought or what he said
29:53
about Jose Aldo. That knockout.
29:54
Listen, it was an amazing knockout, but what a lucky punch
29:58
man. That was lucky.
29:59
And I don't think Jose Aldo really expected anything from
30:03
Conor McGregor and he he got cooler one.
30:05
But Conor wants to stand there and talk crap at after the fact
30:08
when Jose Aldo is one of the greatest, you know, fighters of
30:11
his class, weight class in history.
30:14
Remember, he didn't come from the UFC.
30:16
Came from what was it? What what was the the
30:20
organization he came from before he went to, you know, before he
30:22
went to the UFC. I forget.
30:24
But I don't know if it was Josie Strike Force.
30:26
No, it wasn't. Trike force it wasn't.
30:27
Trike Force it was, I forget. I got to look that up.
30:31
Look that up. Jose Aldo, Jose Aldo, he was
30:34
from like. WEC or whatever it was it.
30:37
Was something. It was from an organization
30:38
which by the way, he was undefeated.
30:40
And anybody that knows the background about Jose Aldo, Jose
30:42
Aldo was a great soccer player and he hurt his leg and it could
30:46
have been a professional. WEC.
30:48
WEC Yep and UFC signed him and he became the champion and held
30:53
the belt for a little while and then lost it.
30:55
So I obviously from Conor McGregor, but again, my problem
31:00
with Conor McGregor doesn't lie about who he is and what he's
31:03
all about and where he comes from.
31:04
My problem is, is the way he has come out and thrown people onto
31:08
the bus and made himself look like a Jackass doing it.
31:11
That is why I don't like Conor McGregor.
31:13
You can't take take away from what he has done since such a
31:17
short time and how much money he's made for the UFC and
31:20
himself and his family. That is incredible.
31:23
But Jon Jones is a bitch and I don't care what anybody says,
31:25
you can take that to the bank. He's a bitch.
31:27
Aspinall would have beaten his ass.
31:29
I, I wouldn't be surprised with Aspinall knocked him out in the
31:32
second round. He was fat, he was slow and
31:35
that's the truth. And that's the he fought Steep A
31:37
because Steep A was 40 years old and he was just looking for a
31:40
payday. You're absolutely right, Jay
31:42
and, and, and the reason why he didn't want to fight Tommy is
31:44
because in his eyes, he's undefeated, even though he was,
31:47
he really has a loss on his record because, you know, it was
31:50
a disqualification. The fact is he his cheating
31:55
ways, he cheated against Daniel Cormier.
31:57
He can say whatever he wants. He cheated and he's always been
32:01
in these these these situations over the years where he has not
32:05
kept himself out of the tabloids.
32:07
This is the same thing with his family, his brothers and they're
32:10
great athletes, tremendous athletes.
32:11
He's just he's a problemsome. I mean, yeah.
32:15
And Chandler Jones like Joos his mind on the waiters like he
32:18
wasn't saying almost. Chandler Jones is nuts.
32:20
There's all family's nuts. That whole family's nuts.
32:23
Dude. His his other two brothers.
32:25
Chandler Jones and his other brother.
32:27
Arthur was also an NFL. Yeah, he was an NFL player.
32:29
They're all great athletes. They're father.
32:31
I mean, they're giants and, and they're obviously John Jones is
32:36
the greatest of all of them. I mean, Chandler Jones was
32:38
great, but John Jones is you could, he's probably going to go
32:41
down as the greatest mixed martial artist I've ever, ever,
32:43
But that's because Dana White was protecting him for years.
32:46
Dana White protected Conor McGregor, he protected John
32:50
Jones and, and I, and I, by the way, I, I, I've grew up and I,
32:54
I, we have to move on. BJ Penn, the stories coming out
32:58
about BJ Penn. And for all the stories that
33:02
probably are true, BJ Penn is a piece of shit.
33:04
OK, that man for if these stories are true or what he was
33:08
doing to his kids and what he was doing to his wife, it's
33:11
despicable. I love BJ Penn.
33:13
I followed him fastest to get a, a Brazilian jiu Jitsu black
33:17
belt, Gracie black belt in two years.
33:19
Fastest American to do that. And, and, and, and you're
33:21
hearing these stories that he was abusing his kids and his
33:24
wife and threatening them and, and talking all this rubbish.
33:27
If these stories are to be true, that BJ Penn should be washed
33:30
away from the UFC and should be spoken about again.
33:33
It's despicable the stories that I heard about BJ Penn and that's
33:36
coming from ABJ Penn fan so. I'm gonna I'm gonna have to look
33:39
at stuff. I haven't heard about that.
33:41
So it'll be news to me. I'm have to look into this
33:43
story. It's a horrible story.
33:45
You can read it. He's been dude, he was arrested
33:47
three times in a week. It's despicable.
33:50
I think his mom was saying that he was doing some abusive
33:53
things. So it's A and this guy is this
33:56
guy fought in the USC. This guy fought and won multiple
33:59
championships and he's beating up a woman and his kids and
34:03
threatening them and, and talking all this crazy crap
34:06
that's coming out his mouth like though that they're, they have
34:08
like aliens or they're saying that they're, they're he they're
34:10
demons or something like that. He's losing his mind.
34:13
Maybe CTE. And that's something that the
34:16
UFC needs to look into as well because of mixed martial arts
34:19
and all those punches to the head and all the different
34:21
things that we've been talking about over the last couple of
34:23
years with football. I think maybe he has CTE
34:26
problems as well, but it's despicable.
34:28
The stories are despicable. Go check it out.
34:30
It's not very good for mixed martial arts in the UFC.
34:32
See when those stories come out about one of the best fighters
34:34
and a Hall of Fame fighter in in UFC history.
34:37
Before we move on, Tom had a question in the comments
34:40
section. What do you think about the
34:41
recent Jake Paul fights? What do I think?
34:43
I think Jake Paul paid Julio Cesar Chavez Junior.
34:47
That's what I think he did. Because if he really fought
34:50
Julio Cesar Chavez junior, Julio Cesar Chavez junior would have
34:55
beaten him. I I don't want to hear anything
34:57
in anybody that wants to deny it.
34:58
Now, I respect Jake Paul because he's training.
35:02
He puts the time in and you got to give him a little bit of
35:04
credit. It's not easy from going to what
35:08
Disney World or being on the Disney Channel to a being a
35:11
professional boxer. But who's he being?
35:14
I don't want you see the list. The first person, Nate
35:16
Robertson. Nate Robertson just had a kidney
35:19
transplant or a living transplant.
35:20
Are you kidding me? He's like, he's like 6 foot or
35:23
five foot 8:00 and you're going to sit there and you're going to
35:25
brag about that You beat Anderson Silver.
35:28
Who Anderson, Ben Askin, I mean, by the way, I got to give him
35:32
shout out after winning that fight, going out there and
35:35
trying to raise money for Ben. That says a lot about who he is
35:38
as a as a person, even though they hate each other.
35:40
That was nice of Jake going out and doing what he did.
35:43
But the guy is a marketer. He's a genius.
35:46
He's a marketing genius. If you want to give him some
35:49
kind of credit, the guy is is one of the best marketing, you
35:54
know, programming, you know, geniuses I've ever seen.
35:57
Him and his brother Logan, how does it, how does Logan go to
36:01
the WWE and become a champion? How does he go to the WWE and,
36:05
and with the athletic ability that he have just completely be
36:09
one of the most hated wrestlers in the in in the WWE and, and
36:14
going, you know, being at main events and, and being like the
36:18
Co main event and the main event.
36:20
That's incredible. The brothers are just geniuses.
36:23
They're marketing geniuses. I'll give him credit for that.
36:25
But as a boxer, if he ever gets into a ring with a real boxer,
36:29
he will be knocked the hell out, knocked the hell out in the
36:32
first round. You want to fight Canelo, you
36:34
want to fight a real boxer and get in the ring with a real box
36:37
of good friggin luck, he will abuse you in in about a minute.
36:42
You wouldn't even last a minute with a Canelo Alvarez.
36:45
So it it's just. Canelo's Canelo's got a big
36:47
fight in September. Yes, he does.
36:49
Yes, and. We, you know, he's fighting.
36:51
Yes, I know he's fighting, Mr. Nebraska.
36:53
We all know. I know.
36:55
I know. Hey.
36:56
It's more than three hours of the show.
36:58
That was the first Nebraska reference.
36:59
By the way, the. Best I got I got a hat on so
37:01
that that counts. Listen and he's the best anti
37:05
dextrous fight I've fighter I've ever seen, OK?
37:07
And there's no question. I can't, I can't stand freaking
37:10
Jake Paul, man. Like to me, like the fact that
37:12
you even think that you could just like you sound like
37:15
intelligent and people will buy the shit that you, I mean,
37:18
you're right. He's a smart marketer.
37:19
But like, in fact he's like, Oh yeah, I can go fight Canelo and
37:21
be like, but then you want to, you want to turn around?
37:24
You want to turn around and then fight a 60 year old Mike Tyson.
37:27
Like OK dude, like whatever fault.
37:30
No, I'm going to, I'm going to clean it round.
37:34
What did you up on this? I'm going to clean you up on
37:35
this. That wasn't Jake Paul's fault.
37:38
That was Mike Tyson's fault. Mike Tyson almost died three
37:41
months before before the fight and then.
37:44
You're right, he reached. Out to Jake and he said he
37:47
wanted that fight. You know why he wanted that
37:48
fight? Because he was getting 16 to $20
37:50
million off that deal. Mike Tyson needed the money.
37:54
OK, so. No, I get I get why they did,
37:56
but I mean, like to me it was just like it was just the most
37:59
boring, horrible thing. Like, not like it was nice that
38:03
it was on Netflix because everybody has.
38:04
Netflix, it was like, it was horrible on Netflix.
38:07
It froze every time. It was.
38:09
Well, I know, I know. But I mean like it was like at
38:11
least you'd have to buy a pay-per-view for it.
38:13
Like you could just buy but like dude.
38:15
I it was. It was.
38:16
So boring, like I remember watching 2 little rounds and I
38:20
was like what the hell is this here's.
38:22
The problem? Here's the problem, he got Floyd
38:25
Mayweather that's fighting exhibition fights against Gotti
38:28
and, and embarrassed Gotti, embarrassing himself after the
38:31
fact. And, and, and by the way, John
38:34
Gotti Junior made like, I don't know, like 9 or $10 million off
38:37
of both fights. How does a guy who has no boxing
38:40
experience and by the way, I watched his first UFCI mean I'm
38:43
not UFC mixed martial arts amateur fight.
38:46
I was at the event when he fought his first mixed martial
38:49
arts and I was right there when he said John Gotti Junior and I,
38:52
he was bragging about his son. I'm like, your son wouldn't last
38:55
a second in the UFC and then and then he goes out there and he
38:59
goes into the boxing world again.
39:01
These guys have names. If you have a name and you can
39:05
promote it, you're going to make money.
39:06
That's just the way sports are now.
39:09
It's a business. It's not about who's better than
39:11
who or who's the most athletic. It's about, oh, it's Gotti, you
39:15
have the last name Gotti. I'll put you in a ring.
39:17
I'm going to make $10 million off the name.
39:19
If Jabba wants the box right now and easy fighting in Nebraska.
39:22
Do you know how many people would go to watch Jabba
39:25
Chamberlain fight? I mean, seriously, it doesn't
39:27
matter who he's. Fighting Jabba, You're going to
39:29
fight. Who is it?
39:32
I can't. Oh my.
39:33
Doink the cloud. If he fought Doink, the cloud
39:35
people would sell out to. No, no, no.
39:38
I'll say you're going to play David Ortiz.
39:39
We'll do Red Sox versus Yankees. No, Kevin Euclis is his number
39:43
one enemy. Yeah, yeah.
39:44
I can't see. That I'd do that for free.
39:47
I pay to see that. That's what we got to set up.
39:50
We got to set up Jabba Chamberlain against Kevin
39:53
Euclis. That would be great because you
39:55
know Tom Brady would show up to that match because that's his
39:58
brother-in-law. That would be perfect.
40:01
That would be absolute. Anyways, that that, by the way,
40:08
that was a great, that was great.
40:10
When it comes to mixed martial arts, we got into Jake Paul.
40:12
It was great. Honestly, we're not even going
40:14
to do King of the Hill tonight. We're not.
40:17
We don't have to. We just gave you King of the
40:19
Hill. We got into the mixed martial
40:21
arts, the boxing. We gave you everything that you
40:24
wanted there. Screw King of the Hill tonight.
40:26
That was great. Jake, you are your knowledge
40:29
when it comes to mixed martial arts and combat sport is
40:31
sensational. But again, Jake Paul is a
40:34
promoter. That's what he is.
40:37
I, I'd love to see him get into a ring with a real boxer in the
40:40
prime of his career. And if he he, if he could even
40:43
get out of two rounds, I'll give him props.
40:45
And I'm talking about 3 1/2 minute rounds, No2 minute
40:49
rounds, 3 1/2 minute rounds with a real professional boxer.
40:55
I pay, I pay to see it, but he's not going to do that.
40:58
He's a chicken shit. That's it.
40:59
I I'll challenge him on the show right now.
41:02
I boxed for seven years competitively.
41:05
I was an undefeated amateur for seven years.
41:08
I was 22 O and one I fought. I I boxed a lot of good fighters
41:12
out here in Long Island with fate, you know, obviously with,
41:15
with face, you know, hell, you know, mad, you know, protecting
41:18
face. But I I can, I can fight.
41:21
I challenge Jake anytime, anytime he wants to fight.
41:24
I got to I got to train for six months.
41:26
It's a lot. You got to train for six months
41:28
and I got to run and I got to get back into shape.
41:30
I challenge his fat ass and I'll knock him the fuck out.
41:33
OK, in two rounds. I would knock him out in two
41:37
rounds. He's a chicken shit who throws a
41:39
heavy right hand. And that's all I'm going to say
41:41
about Jake. Jake is not a good fighter.
41:43
He drops his hands, he tips his hands, and he's just like Conor
41:46
McGregor. You get two rounds, his hands
41:48
start to fall. And if you do that, he's got a
41:50
soft chin. And that's all I'm going to say
41:52
about that. What's going on over here?
41:54
What? Thanks.
41:55
Thanks, Raul. Yeah, I fought the bugs in
41:57
Cleveland, that boy. He did.
42:01
Ghost of Gotham here. Java is going to take Kevin
42:03
Yukos. No, but I, I would love to
42:07
fight. I would love to fight Jake Paul
42:09
if he obviously I'm not, I'm not a big name and is get into a
42:13
ring with a real person. I, I'm not even a real boxer
42:16
because I I'm not a professional boxer.
42:18
I'll knock it out. I'll knock you out.
42:20
I will knock you out. I'm you, you go against these
42:23
hockey players, these basketball players, former this former that
42:26
UFC fighters out of shape. I'm 43 years old.
42:29
You, I am. How old is Jake Paul?
42:31
28 What is it? 28 years old?
42:33
He he is 15 years of my I am 15 years of his elder.
42:39
OK, I get into the ring and I promise you guys I beat him in
42:43
A5 round fight, five round fight.
42:47
What is he 3 minute? Rounds 3 minute.
42:48
Rounds. 3 minute rounds. Three minute rounds, I don't
42:50
think he lasts. If he fights 3 minute rounds, 5
42:53
rounds with me, he'll I'll end him in two or three rounds.
42:56
I'll end him in two or three rounds.
42:57
He doesn't. He's not what he says he is.
43:00
And I, I any day, anytime I'll fight him on the streets.
43:03
We don't even have to go in the ring and sell it.
43:06
Get me gloves. I'll train for a couple of
43:09
couple of months because I'm going to need a couple of months
43:11
to get my cardio back at least a little bit.
43:14
I got to run a couple of miles. But I am absolutely right.
43:17
I got to drop what, what does he fight at 202 O five?
43:20
I think it's two O 5, right? Jake What does he fight AT2O5
43:23
was this. Last.
43:24
Well, I don't. Know 190 something?
43:28
All right, so I'm two. I'm 216 today, so I would have
43:32
to drop 3025 lbs. I would, I would need at least
43:36
at least four months to do that because I, I definitely need to
43:39
train my body with the stamina and all that other stuff and get
43:42
into the ring and have some, you know, some, some competition
43:45
with he's fighting with a. Cruiserweight standing, so I
43:48
don't know what. Cruiserweight Cruiserweight
43:50
IS191185190. That's what he's at so.
43:53
I just had to point out too goes to Gotham, he says.
43:56
If he doesn't run from you bro. So yeah, you might have to.
43:58
You have to just train your cardio because Jake will be
44:00
running for me the whole time. He's a bitch, man.
44:02
And I'm going to tell you right now, I, I know how to stand with
44:05
them and I, I know how to throw combinations.
44:08
I did it. I'm not.
44:09
And I'm going to tell you this right now, I'm not talking crap.
44:12
I, I will absolutely do it. If he wants to do it, you could
44:15
send this, but you could send this to his social media.
44:18
I will challenge him. I'd fight him anywhere.
44:21
I'd fight him in Disneyland right by the, what do they call
44:24
that? The you know, Princess, Princess
44:26
freaking magic. Castle magic.
44:28
Castle magic Castle Magic Kingdom.
44:31
I didn't. Have a Disney show that didn't
44:32
do too great. Didn't have anything doing too
44:35
great. He's the only thing he does
44:36
great is promoting. I got to give him credit for
44:38
that. But if he wants to fight, he's
44:40
looking for a fight. I I'll, I'll be it'll be a
44:43
pleasure to jump in the ring with him and give him a nice
44:46
beat down and I'll do it for free.
44:48
You don't even have to pay me. I'll do it for free.
44:51
Jake, how about this will do. Whoever wins the fight donates a
44:56
certain amount of money to whoever's organization.
45:00
OK, cuz, cuz after I knock you the F out and I beat your ass,
45:05
you can donate to Jabba Chamberlain's foundation,
45:09
whatever foundation he chooses. OK, Jabba will be in my my
45:13
corner after, you know, I spit a couple times in, you know, in,
45:16
in my little bucket. And after I do that, I'll be
45:18
dancing around and shoving my fist up your ass.
45:21
Anyways, there you go. We have one more segment of the
45:25
night and we call that. What's that smell?
45:28
Hold up, what is that smell? What's that smell?
45:36
Wow, you don't see that every day.
45:39
Breaking news, this is a grumpy old man.
45:44
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have the boys and we're going
45:46
to give them an opportunity too. Why not?
45:49
They're they're our interns. They've done a great job.
45:51
Jake, Aaron, Zach will be back tomorrow.
45:54
So let's do it with them. All right, so here's the story.
45:57
This is how we're going to do it.
45:58
Anything you could join us too? It's very simple.
46:01
We're going to we're going to give you a story that's happened
46:04
over the last past week and we're going to tell you what it
46:06
smells like. All right, we're going to go
46:08
first. We're going to go with scoops.
46:11
We're going to go with Aaron, Jake, Nathan.
46:15
Well, I don't have a story for this one.
46:17
All right, one up, Nathan. We'll take, we'll take Nathan
46:20
out. All right, we'll take Nathan
46:22
out. Then we'll have Speedy Jabba me.
46:25
Here we go, all. Right, let's let's get the music
46:28
going. Let's go.
46:29
You're the one who spits it out. All right, so.
46:31
Speedy's mom over. This past weekend we had AWWE
46:36
event known as Night of Champions where they had over in
46:39
Saudi Arabia. I just have to come on and say
46:41
that's called Saudi Arabia pay per views, that they've had been
46:44
going on since 2018. Or.
46:47
Whatever or have been absolutely atrocious a lot of these Saudi
46:50
pay per views. Are not I'll let you lick my
46:52
butt. And it's really just, I don't I
46:54
don't know what it is with the quality of wrestling right now.
46:57
I do say Triple H is doing a really good job with the way
46:59
wrestling has been going on and his booking.
47:01
But however these Saudi paper views got to go, you got Crown
47:05
Jewel, United Champions, that was a bust and are going to not
47:07
going to go anywhere as it's going to be in Royal Rumble next
47:10
year. A lot of the matches didn't
47:12
deliver. I mean, you had the king of the
47:14
ring, OK, sure, the queen of the ring.
47:15
A lot of people weren't happy about that.
47:17
You even had the last time ever John Cena was on his retirement
47:21
tour against CM Punk, which was a pretty underwhelming match
47:24
considering these guys. I've had great matches in the
47:27
past before. So what does it smell like?
47:29
It smells like some Saudi Arabia sand that AAA shoved up his
47:33
underpants. So there we go there.
47:36
You go. All right.
47:36
So this is something I saw I think within the past week, I
47:40
want to say on Twitter, I had thought of it, this would be
47:42
good for this segment. I don't know if any of you guys
47:45
saw it, but there is if there was a video out there with
47:48
someone trying to get Kelsey Plum to sign one of their their
47:52
rookie cards or like that. And she was very turned off by
47:57
it, didn't want to do it. I mean, it was an older
48:00
gentleman, but he seemed very nice.
48:02
She was very standoffish. She ended up signing it anyway.
48:05
But I was sitting there watching that video and going, man, look,
48:08
everyone, everyone's complaining about the WNBA, how they don't
48:12
get what they want, the money that they want or, or the views
48:14
that they that they want and they want more people to watch
48:17
them. But then you see stuff like this
48:19
and go, OK, you're only hurting your brand by doing this.
48:23
And then you also see the stuff with Caitlin Clark and go, OK,
48:26
this one generational player is trying to save the entire
48:31
league, but you guys are not willing to pursue other things
48:35
and be nice to not even be just just be normal person, someone
48:38
asking to sign someone, just sign it.
48:39
Like to me, I just I thought it was just like, you're just
48:43
ruining your sport. Like just just do what you got
48:46
to do to help your league. At the end of the day, it's not
48:49
like it was shitting on their own league, essentially just
48:52
taking a big ass doogie on their league.
48:54
That's it. The other one, Aaron, too, I
48:56
don't know if you saw it too, if you guys saw it, where that girl
48:58
was sitting courtside, She had a Caitlin shirt on.
49:01
She brought over their shirt and she told the girl to do better.
49:05
I didn't see that, but like you see, it's like I don't
49:07
understand the narrative. Like, yeah, I get it.
49:09
Like I think everyone wants to at least see some some sort of
49:12
like uphill battle with them, like they want to see the league
49:16
do good. But then I didn't end of the
49:17
day, they're just ruining you for themselves.
49:19
I don't know. They're that's, that's the way I
49:20
see it. But I was like, that doesn't
49:22
make any sense. All right, Yeah.
49:23
So for my story, I'm going to go to the NBA.
49:26
Obviously we're right in the middle of NBA free agency, so
49:28
there's a lot of great moves. I'm sure we'll get into that in
49:30
tomorrow's show. But the one I wanted to point to
49:32
was these really or the the free agency move of Miles Turner
49:37
leaving the Indiana Pacers and going to the Milwaukee Bucks on
49:41
I believe it was like a four year, $109 million contract.
49:44
Literally just, you know, weeks or even days after they lost the
49:48
NBA Finals heartbreaking Game 7 to the Oklahoma City Thunder
49:53
when they were one game away, they went on an improbable run.
49:55
It was unbelievable. The Pacers owners, they don't
49:59
want to pay Miles Turner, who's been there Center for like for
50:03
their franchise for the last like 5 to 8 tennis plus years,
50:07
all because Tyrese Halliburton went down with a horrific
50:10
injury. You don't want to keep this team
50:11
together and try to compete in, let alone you go to go to
50:14
Milwaukee, your your main rival after they just cut and waved
50:18
Damian Lillard. What kind of logic is that?
50:19
Like you're just going to throw in the town and give up on one
50:22
year after you just went to the finals and we're one game away
50:24
from winning a championship? You're going to throw away one
50:27
of your key contributors and pieces and let him walk to your
50:30
main rival? That that smells like deep,
50:34
bloody betrayal to me and the shitty smell of a dead deer
50:37
carcass. That's good.
50:40
There you go. That smells fitted very well
50:41
with the Milwaukee Bucks team. All right, I'll shift to some
50:44
hockey. These are two Boston radio
50:47
hosts, Mike Felger and Tony Maserati, who took shots at the
50:50
Bruins claiming that they draft too many local prospects,
50:54
allegedly. Well, let's see how many
50:56
prospects they drafted are from New England, not their first
50:58
round pick. And James Higgins, we know
50:59
Errol's a Long Island guy. They drafted another New Yorker
51:02
in the third round. They drafted a Swedish kid in
51:05
the second round in Liam Peterson and a later draft pick
51:08
from Minnesota. So let's see how how many New
51:10
England prospects are coming from there.
51:12
None to go with That's a good job.
51:14
Geography goodies. Geography looks better than
51:17
yours at this point. And even if you wanted to not
51:20
like even if you want to just reference the northeast,
51:22
Northeast is a good hotbed for hockey.
51:24
So like, why is it a bad thing for them to draft local
51:27
prospects just because of a few of them in work out?
51:30
So what does that smell like? Job?
51:31
You like this one, and it smells like a sweaty Kevin Yukl is
51:34
being knocked out by you into a barrel of.
51:37
Rotten baked beans. Hey.
51:39
I just said baked beans the other day.
51:40
They're good, yeah. But but you're knocking him into
51:43
a a container of rotten baked. Beans OK rotten knocking out of
51:46
that rotten all right I'm going to switch to baseball and I
51:51
don't know if you guys seen this, but this dumbass Dave
51:53
McCaskill has been four years in a row of interfering God plays
51:59
left center. He's he's kind of, they try to
52:02
emulate him and his buddies have contest and they're kind of like
52:06
the Zach Hampel of the other side.
52:08
And, and he, he gives an interview and he's like, yeah,
52:11
I've only been ejected twice. And so he is now banned for 2025
52:19
for the rest of the year. And he can come back in 2026 if
52:23
he follows all the rules. I talked to a colleague of ours
52:28
and Megan Plain who actually did an interview with them and she
52:31
was like, you know, it was interesting.
52:33
He's very, very proud of what he did.
52:35
But you know, when it comes to interfering with games and
52:37
outcomes of games, and I just, I don't like it.
52:41
And then you are proud of it. And you you say you vote.
52:45
You've already gotten thrown out twice.
52:46
Like, OK, maybe once you know, you get a little overzealous and
52:50
you reach out because you're excited.
52:52
But then again and then now you're banned it, it just shows
52:55
that you have little little leaner man syndrome.
52:59
And it sounds like he didn't use his dude wipes and he wipes back
53:02
to front. As long as she's using dude
53:04
wipes and taking care of my 2 hole I'm good.
53:10
All right, the. Final Oh, sorry, I was just
53:13
going to say really quick. I know a lot of baseball fans
53:16
have their opinions on him, but like as players, do you hate
53:18
Zach Ample too? I just had to now ask.
53:20
Oh, he's annoying his balls. OK, I, I mean, I get, I get
53:26
like, I mean he's wrote books and whatever, but why he does
53:31
it, it, it, it annoys me and like he'll literally steal balls
53:35
from kids. Yeah, no, I I just wanted to
53:37
know, but that makes sense. All right, my final What's that
53:40
smell goes to one of my worst hated players in NFL history,
53:46
Rodney Harrison to be inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame
53:52
during 2025 season. I love this.
53:56
Rodney Harris is set to be honored by the club that drafted
54:00
him. The Chargers announced on Monday
54:02
that they will be inducting Harrison into the team's Hall of
54:05
Fame during halftime of their Week 8 Thursday Night Football
54:10
game against the Minnesota Vikings on October 23rd.
54:14
Rodney Harrison is is explained as his physicality, his emotion,
54:20
his relentlessness, his effort, his toughness in his grit.
54:23
The only thing I remember of Ronnie Harrison is Super Bowl
54:28
2O7 when he was trying to catch on, intercept the ball and David
54:34
Tyree steals the ball and catches it with his helmet and
54:40
cost, yes, the New England Patriots Super Bowl on what,
54:45
undefeated season? You know what that smells like?
54:48
It smells like an absolute shit stain loser that Rodney Harrison
54:53
is. And by the way, probably you
54:55
could pull that wedgie out of Phillip Rivers ass.
54:58
There you go. So that's about it.
55:00
And by the way, for all the Phillip Rivers haters out there,
55:03
you can kiss my ass because Phillip Rivers is a Hall of
55:07
Famer. That's what I'm going to say.
55:09
When are we going to get Steve Weich bat back on the show?
55:12
Well, I want Steve on the show because Steve is going to be
55:16
kissing my ass after he goes to the Hall of Fame.
55:18
That's what Steve's going to be doing.
55:20
He's going to be you know what I'm going to do after he takes
55:22
me out to a steak dinner. I'm going to tell I'm going to
55:24
have him and his wife at the dinner table and I'm going to
55:27
say, you know what, I'll pay for dinner.
55:29
You know what you're going to do?
55:30
I'm going to pull down my pants and you're going to kiss my left
55:32
cheek and you're going to do it in front of all these people out
55:35
here. And then I'm going to send it to
55:37
ESPNNFL network and I'm going to show you how big of a idiot you
55:41
are when you came out and said that Philip Rivers is in a Hall
55:44
of Famer. Steve, I love you, but you're
55:46
out of your damn mind. TJ Ward, you're out of your damn
55:48
mind. Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger
55:51
and Philip Rivers are in a Hall of Famer.
55:54
That was a crazy take. We got to take that and cut that
55:56
baby. Oh, I did already.
55:57
That is, that is absolutely. He went.
56:00
He went. Eli Ben, right?
56:04
Yeah, when I was making that clip for Instagram and I was
56:07
going back and rewatching, I was like, I couldn't believe he said
56:10
that. And I was like, if he doesn't
56:11
think any of those guys is over, going like no quarterback in
56:15
this current league aside from maybe Mahomes, I'm like, it must
56:19
be at all eligible because if that's his logic, that's crazy.
56:22
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. And by the way, he said Eli
56:24
Manning first. Yeah, Eli Manning won two Super
56:27
Bowls. And I know Fish what was have he
56:29
was getting a hard on when he heard that.
56:31
He was like, Oh my God. Oh my God.
56:35
Listen, I understand he's the name.
56:37
He's Eli Manning. He's Peyton Manning brother.
56:40
The fact is, he even said, I said who was the better player?
56:43
He said you didn't ask me that and he knows the truth.
56:46
Philip Rivers was the better player out of all three of them.
56:49
So how could you say Eli Manning, who, Yes, he won two
56:52
Super Bowls. Yes, he has a name.
56:55
Should go to the Hall of Fame ahead of Ben Roethlisberger and
56:58
Philip. That didn't make any sense.
56:59
TJ. Where are you coming from, man?
57:02
What are you smoking? Anyways?
57:04
I just had to say that we love you, TJ.
57:06
We can't wait for you to come back on the show.
57:08
No one be hating on my guy. I'm not hating on him, I was
57:11
just. We know he's smoking, he's
57:13
smoking, he's smoking the Nathan shrimp cocktail.
57:16

58:03
I got you guys a special guest on July 16th, Wednesday at 9:00
58:07
PM. Who is it?
58:08
Matthew Dennis, he was at the Fanatics games this year.
58:11
He was the one of the fans that competed.
58:13
He was in 3rd place. He got 250250K from Tom Brady.
58:17
Yeah. Where's my coming on the show?
58:19
Where's my 200? Tell him, can I?
58:21
Hey, Tommy, first of all, you were supposed to get me that
58:23
thing over there in the Hamptons with Tom Brady.
58:26
You never got that for me, you little piece.
58:28
They. Never answered back.
58:30
Bend over. Show everybody that ass, that
58:32
Indian ass. Show them now.
58:33
DNS No. As long as she's using dude
58:37
watch and taking care of my 2 hole I'm good.
58:39
This makes my pecker. Hard anyways, that's it for our
58:41
show ladies and gentlemen we'll be back tomorrow.
58:44
We'll have fish back we'll have Zach here we'll have the whole
58:47
show and maybe we'll add king of the hill because we never get a
58:50
chance we got to do that that whole UFC mixed martial arts
58:54
thing. That wouldn't be fair because it
58:55
would probably just be me and Jake.
58:57
That wouldn't have been fair. What is fish thinking?
58:59
I I don't get it, John. Hey, you're not going to give me
59:02
any credit on the UF? CI didn't say I didn't say that,
59:04
but I, I, I listen to Jake and I listen to his take.
59:08
I, I just, it's going to be hard to to attack this guy when it
59:12
comes to his takes. When it comes to mixed martial
59:14
arts, you probably, you probably have the third most knowledge on
59:17
the show about mixed martial arts.
59:18
So it would have. Been I'm the only one that's
59:20
ever had a deal with the UFC, so right there there.
59:22
You try there, you show, right? You want to show your ass?
59:25
Show everybody your ass, I mean. I got birthmark on my right
59:29
cheek. There you go, me too.
59:31
Is that what your future wife is looking at right now after the
59:36
show? Sitting down you stupid ass.
59:38
How do we know you're sitting? Maybe you're sitting on her.
59:43
That would be silence. I'm losing my mind tonight, I'm
59:47
losing my voice. I'm losing everything.
59:49
Anyways, that's it for a show. We'll be back tomorrow.
59:52
Goodnight. It it.
59:53
It's the worldwide sports radio network.
