1:33
Speaker 1: He looked good, he was physically in great shape. The
1:35
Speaker 1: list goes on and on, and John literally picked him apart.
1:39
Speaker 1: The jab was unbelievable tonight. How he was kicking the
1:43
Speaker 1: legs and the body. Every time he kicked the body,
1:46
Speaker 1: I thought it was over, and then he would go
1:49
Speaker 1: for the head kick and slipping punches. I mean, he's
1:54
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty eight years old this summer. He looked,
1:56
Speaker 1: he looked incredible. I just don't know how any of
1:58
Speaker 1: you don't see that. This guy is the fucking greatest
2:02
Speaker 1: fighter in the history of fucking people fighting. It's he's
2:06
Speaker 1: thirty seven going on thirty eight, and again tonight he
2:10
Speaker 1: went in and did what he did. He's fucking unbelievable
2:13
Speaker 1: and as long as he's active, he's the pound for
2:17
Speaker 1: pound best fighter in the world.
2:18
Speaker 2: So moving forward, what do you do Like, as obviously said,
2:21
Speaker 2: you want him to fight tom next and you said
2:22
Speaker 2: that could be just be the biggest heavyweight fight of
2:24
Speaker 2: all time. Yeah, and John was on the post fight
2:29
Speaker 2: thing he wants you know he wants he said, he
2:30
Speaker 2: wants to be well compensated because he saw what Jake.
2:32
Speaker 2: And so when do you actually meet with him? Is
2:35
Speaker 2: that a Tuesday conversations again?
2:37
Speaker 1: Tom waiting outside for me right now? And John, you
2:41
Speaker 1: let John do John. John's going to disappear. Not only
2:46
Speaker 1: will you not here about him or what he's doing,
2:49
Speaker 1: neither will I. And then he will resurface and they'll
2:53
Speaker 1: call and we'll get it done.
2:55
Speaker 2: And Steve A just he was very blunt. He said,
2:57
Speaker 2: you know he's retiring, he's hanging it up.
2:59
Speaker 3: So he guess what you what are your thoughts of
3:01
Speaker 3: Steve A's career?
3:01
Speaker 2: And you know what we saw from him in there,
3:03
Speaker 2: because Daniel said, he looks kind of slow, maybe a
3:04
Speaker 2: little sluggish, but he was landing some shots in there.
3:07
Speaker 1: He looks slow after he took the kicks to the body.
3:11
Speaker 1: He looks slow. Listen, don't say Steve A. Steve A
3:15
Speaker 1: was in fucking great shape. He came in and he
3:18
Speaker 1: was here to win, and John Jones systematically fucking picked
3:23
Speaker 1: him apart. His fight IQ is off the charts. It
3:26
Speaker 1: is hard talking to people who ninety nine point nine
3:30
Speaker 1: percent of the media don't know what the fuck they're
3:32
Speaker 1: talking about when it comes to fighting. Thank you, sir.
3:35
Speaker 2: And what do you make of Steve Ae's career now
3:37
Speaker 2: that he's officially hung it up.
3:39
Speaker 1: He's had an incredible career and and you know it
3:42
Speaker 1: doesn't diminish his who he was at heavyweight and what
3:45
Speaker 1: he's accomplished here. You know, when you think about Steve A,
3:48
Speaker 1: he's made a lot of money, He's been a firefighter.
3:51
Speaker 1: He'll retire with his with his pension and all the things.
3:53
Speaker 1: Steve A is going to have a great life.
3:55
Speaker 2: The Cole made event obviously, you know, another fight of
3:57
Speaker 2: the night for Michael Chanley. He was pretty adamant, like
3:59
Speaker 2: b Charles going to fight for the title and everything
4:02
Speaker 2: real weird fifth round.
4:03
Speaker 3: Of you know, a lot of blows to the back
4:04
Speaker 3: of the head.
4:05
Speaker 2: A lot of your fighters online seemed very confused, while
4:07
Speaker 2: the referee wasn't you know, saying anything about that. Just
4:10
Speaker 2: what did you make of just all the weirdness we
4:11
Speaker 2: saw in them?
4:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the reffing lately has been weird, the
4:15
Speaker 1: judging has been weird lately. And I don't disagree with you.
4:19
Speaker 1: I saw a fight tonight that should have been stopped earlier,
4:22
Speaker 1: and it's just, yeah.
4:24
Speaker 3: What do you do with Charles?
4:25
Speaker 2: He's pretty adamant that he wants to be cage side
4:27
Speaker 2: for that Islam and arm and fight whenever that that happens.
4:30
Speaker 1: Didn't we fly him in from Brazil and sit them
4:31
Speaker 1: cage side for that fight?
4:33
Speaker 2: And just a couple other unrelated to the top two fights.
4:36
Speaker 2: The gloves that went back to the old is that
4:38
Speaker 2: that's a permanent move. You're just going to show the
4:40
Speaker 2: new one.
4:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a permanent move. But the problem is we
4:43
Speaker 1: don't have enough of the old gloves, so until we
4:45
Speaker 1: can get them all done, yeah, that's it.
4:47
Speaker 2: Are you gonna go back to the gold gloves for
4:50
Speaker 2: the fights? Just black permanently?
4:52
Speaker 1: You know what, there were good intentions with the new gloves.
4:56
Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time, energy and money on him.
4:58
Speaker 1: There were good intentions. Didn't work out and it is
5:02
Speaker 1: what it is.
5:02
Speaker 3: Another big win for Jim Miller.
5:04
Speaker 2: He said that he wants to get to fifty total
5:06
Speaker 2: UFC fights and then hart stop on his career and
5:09
Speaker 2: you can hold him to that, he says, deal, and
5:11
Speaker 2: just one final one I do have to ask you
5:13
Speaker 2: about you know your friend Mike Tyson tweeted that he
5:16
Speaker 2: almost died over the summer. He said, you know lost,
5:18
Speaker 2: he had a bunch of blood transfusions, just had to
5:20
Speaker 2: fight to get healthy. And then his performance yesterday against
5:23
Speaker 2: Jake Paul. Just your thoughts on what we saw.
5:26
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson was right and I was wrong. You know
5:31
Speaker 1: when you guys know the whole story about Shark Week,
5:34
Speaker 1: and you know if you don't. I begged him not
5:38
Speaker 1: to do the the Roy Jones fight. You're too old.
5:42
Speaker 1: I love you. I don't want to see it take
5:43
Speaker 1: any more punishment. So I set him up on Shark Week.
5:45
Speaker 1: He got paid good money and he's like, you fucking
5:49
Speaker 1: so he almost flipped out the last day and was
5:51
Speaker 1: ready to kill everybody on the boat because he had
5:53
Speaker 1: to jump in with all these sharks again in the
5:54
Speaker 1: middle of Florida. And he's like, this fucking asshole, says
5:56
Speaker 1: that you know he cares about me and everything else.
5:58
Speaker 1: I've been fighting since I was and he throws me
6:01
Speaker 1: in the fucking ocean with a bunch of sharks. He
6:04
Speaker 1: was right about that too, uh, But he basically said,
6:07
Speaker 1: I told him, Mike, you're basically sixty years old and
6:10
Speaker 1: He's like, you honestly think this fucking kid's gonna do
6:13
Speaker 1: anything to me. He's not good. He's not gonna fucking
6:18
Speaker 1: knock me out. He's not gonna do this. And you
6:20
Speaker 1: saw him. He tripped when he was walking down the thing.
6:23
Speaker 1: He had a hard time walking up the stairs. He
6:25
Speaker 1: got a knee brace on. And Jake Paul couldn't do
6:27
Speaker 1: anything to him. He made a ton of money. And
6:30
Speaker 1: I know people are mad you stayed home on a
6:31
Speaker 1: Saturday night, but you didn't pay for it, you know
6:33
Speaker 1: what I mean. And you know, Mike, this is what
6:36
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson shows up. Everybody makes money. You know.
6:40
Speaker 1: Jake Paul's you know. I don't have to tell you guys.
6:44
Speaker 1: You guys know Mike Tyson is the A plus plus
6:47
Speaker 1: plus plus side of that thing. And and he was right.
6:52
Speaker 1: Jake Paul couldn't do shit to him. He was right,
6:55
Speaker 1: And now I was wrong when.
6:56
Speaker 4: You say, uh, the twelve jug fight would be the
6:58
Speaker 4: biggest of time you have, even bigger than the brock
7:01
Speaker 4: lesnar days at heavyweight.
7:02
Speaker 1: As well, be the biggest heavyweight fight in UFC history
7:04
Speaker 1: by a long shot.
7:06
Speaker 4: When you look at that fight, stylistically right as you said,
7:08
Speaker 4: John still amazing, still incredibly varied attacks, great IQ, But
7:12
Speaker 4: it would seem the Tom's advantage would be in the speed.
7:15
Speaker 4: When you look at that fight, how do you break
7:17
Speaker 4: it down and how do you think that could play out?
7:19
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean, I don't know what
7:21
Speaker 1: John's going to do. John's one of those guys that
7:23
Speaker 1: I was saying earlier has the highest fight ik. He's
7:26
Speaker 1: like fucking Elon Musk in the octagon. Okay, this guy
7:30
Speaker 1: is brilliant in there and the things that he pulls off,
7:33
Speaker 1: Like you didn't You didn't see any of the spinning
7:35
Speaker 1: elbows tonight that he that he does normally. He did
7:38
Speaker 1: all different shit tonight. I'm sure he sat down and
7:40
Speaker 1: watched Steve Bay's tapes. And I don't know what he'll
7:43
Speaker 1: do with aspinall.
7:44
Speaker 4: Michael Chandler getting Charles getting his back and him doing
7:47
Speaker 4: the slams into it obviously not advisable. But did you
7:50
Speaker 4: enjoy that as a spectator?
7:53
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what did you ask me?
7:54
Speaker 4: I said, did you enjoy when Charldler threw himself backwards
7:57
Speaker 4: with Charles?
7:58
Speaker 1: Yeah? That was awesome?
8:00
Speaker 4: What I mean obviously look his I think he's two
8:02
Speaker 4: and three now in the UFC, but every time he
8:04
Speaker 4: goes out there right puts on a crazy show. He's
8:06
Speaker 4: one of those fighters that I'm sure you just love
8:08
Speaker 4: to have a round, regardless of his win lost record.
8:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's like an artorial god.
8:12
Speaker 5: Ye.
8:12
Speaker 1: Man, he's one of those guys win, loser, draw. You're
8:15
Speaker 1: never bombed out at the end of a Michael Chandler fight.
8:18
Speaker 1: Last for me.
8:19
Speaker 4: Look, I know that there's you gotta let John do
8:20
Speaker 4: John go and disappear for a while, But do you
8:23
Speaker 4: have to have a time limit on it for those negotiations,
8:25
Speaker 4: because obviously Tom's been like, of course, yeah, do you
8:27
Speaker 4: have any idea when you just sort of think like, hey,
8:29
Speaker 4: come on, no.
8:32
Speaker 1: Dan a right here? Then right here? Yeah, yeah, yep,
8:36
Speaker 1: hey noah, he yeah.
8:37
Speaker 6: Hey Dana, congratulations are of the great night.
8:40
Speaker 1: Thank you.
8:41
Speaker 6: Obviously we come to New York. It's always a huge card. Uh,
8:44
Speaker 6: you know, best city in the world, tons of celebrities.
8:47
Speaker 6: We got the great kid rock right here. He came
8:50
Speaker 6: to He came to Iraq in two thousand and four
8:52
Speaker 6: when I was in the army, did a free concert.
8:54
Speaker 1: I want to publicly thank him for that. Yeah, nobody
8:56
Speaker 1: loves the troops more than Kid Rock does. Man. Kid
8:57
Speaker 1: Rock does so much stuff, uh for the troops and
9:01
Speaker 1: for this country. He's a good man. Yeah.
9:04
Speaker 6: That said, do you have to think about instead of
9:06
Speaker 6: doing the card just in November, maybe do two cards
9:08
Speaker 6: in New York a year.
9:12
Speaker 1: Yeah. It just here's the thing is, we go into
9:15
Speaker 1: twenty five, there's a lot of places that we haven't
9:18
Speaker 1: been pre COVID, right, and there were places that I
9:23
Speaker 1: didn't want to go until everything started to get back
9:25
Speaker 1: to normal. It's like New York City, You're not wrong,
9:28
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest cities on Earth. Right. Since
9:31
Speaker 1: I've been here the last two days, this place feels
9:34
Speaker 1: like New York City again. Like people everywhere, pack, shopping,
9:38
Speaker 1: eating out. There's just a good energy here again, man,
9:42
Speaker 1: And it felt really good. But in twenty five, will
9:47
Speaker 1: probably just come back here once, even though I'd love
9:49
Speaker 1: to come back here more. But there's cities that I'm
9:51
Speaker 1: gonna go to next year that we haven't been to
9:52
Speaker 1: in a while. I'm gonna do Chicago, I'm gonna do Seattle,
9:54
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do you know a few other places in
9:57
Speaker 1: twenty five.
9:58
Speaker 6: So obviously this is a big pay for your your
10:00
Speaker 6: next pay view, you have the flyweight title fight, you
10:03
Speaker 6: have kay Asakara the main event. Uc docomer two part
10:07
Speaker 6: question being that a lot of people who don't follow
10:10
Speaker 6: outside of the UFC might not know he is. Are
10:13
Speaker 6: you worried about not attracting as much fans? But second part,
10:17
Speaker 6: he hasn't fought at flyweight in seven years. Any of
10:20
Speaker 6: the discussion when you decided that he'd get the title shot.
10:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, first of all, for people to know who he
10:25
Speaker 1: is and be excited to see him fight, that's my
10:27
Speaker 1: job number one. Number two, No, that that that wasn't
10:32
Speaker 1: it's It's very typical for Japan, you know what I mean,
10:35
Speaker 1: They always fight higher than they probably should. But when
10:39
Speaker 1: you come over here, there's a whole whole nother ballgame here.
10:43
Speaker 1: You know, they literally the best in the world are here.
10:47
Speaker 1: But we love the skin and we think it's it's
10:49
Speaker 1: going to be an exciting, fun fight.
10:51
Speaker 6: And my last question, this is your first pay view
10:53
Speaker 6: since Donald Trump won the election. I know he's a
10:56
Speaker 6: close friend of you, but from a business side, how
10:58
Speaker 6: does that change the UFE? Is it is it? Is
11:01
Speaker 6: it positive for the UFC with with him being the president,
11:05
Speaker 6: or does it not change anything.
11:06
Speaker 1: I think it's positive for the world to be honest
11:08
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, listen, no matter what side of
11:12
Speaker 1: the fence you sit on politically, you cannot deny that
11:15
Speaker 1: there's almost like this weight that's been lifted off the
11:18
Speaker 1: country right now and this sigh of relief and things
11:24
Speaker 1: were already getting better. He's not even in there yet.
11:27
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know most of the people in the
11:31
Speaker 1: room disagree with me, but yeah, yeah, one guy back
11:37
Speaker 1: there that's supporting everything I say. Tonight, thank you, sir Dana.
11:41
Speaker 7: When you hear the crowd's reaction after Bo won and
11:44
Speaker 7: they were booing and chanting overrated, just how did you
11:47
Speaker 7: kind of process that?
11:48
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we we've had these these discussions with Bo.
11:54
Speaker 1: You know, Bo needs work. Bo's an up and coming guy.
11:58
Speaker 1: I know he uh, he has big aspirations and wants
12:03
Speaker 1: to move faster than he should. But tonight showed that
12:08
Speaker 1: he's still dominated. I mean, he won the whole fight,
12:10
Speaker 1: but he's got what he's got work to do. It's
12:12
Speaker 1: all right, we'll move him. And uh, when you're in
12:15
Speaker 1: a position like Bo is, there's a lot of expectations,
12:20
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, did you see the size of Craig.
12:24
Speaker 1: I mean, guy's a fucking monster. The President looked at
12:27
Speaker 1: me and said, these guys are in the same weight
12:29
Speaker 1: class because he loves Bo Nickel, so I said, yeah,
12:32
Speaker 1: they are. It's crazy.
12:34
Speaker 7: And then on the Chandler side of it, afterwards, You're right,
12:38
Speaker 7: eventually calls out Connor McGregor again, like do you even
12:41
Speaker 7: go down that road?
12:42
Speaker 1: Like, who did Bo? No? Chandler? Oh, Chandler?
12:46
Speaker 7: Yeah, is that like a waste?
12:48
Speaker 1: At this point, Connor is going to come back late
12:50
Speaker 1: twenty five, so there's a lot of time before we
12:52
Speaker 1: figure out who's gonna fight Connor right here, Yeah, tonight.
12:58
Speaker 5: Some interesting records, right, Jim Mill twenty seven UFC wins
13:01
Speaker 5: the most, John Jones the first to have a twenty
13:03
Speaker 5: fight unbeaten streak, Charles Olivera the first to get twenty
13:06
Speaker 5: bonuses in the UFC. Which one of those is most
13:09
Speaker 5: impressive to you?
13:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a tough one. They're all impressive in their
13:13
Speaker 1: own ways. I mean, if you're looking an older guy
13:17
Speaker 1: like Jim doing what he's doing still at the level
13:19
Speaker 1: he's doing it, that's obviously super impressive. And then I mean,
13:24
Speaker 1: John Jones, you guys don't even want to fucking hear it.
13:26
Speaker 1: But and then OLIVERA, Yeah, he's such a beast man.
13:32
Speaker 1: The kid Kid's incredible. They're all great in the wrong
13:36
Speaker 1: way for sure.
13:37
Speaker 5: And John has made it clear and kind of the
13:38
Speaker 5: interviews he's done he wants to be a well compensated
13:40
Speaker 5: for this Tom fight. And I know the last time
13:43
Speaker 5: this is kind of a thing. With the Tom or
13:45
Speaker 5: with the Francis and Ganu fight, you said he wanted
13:47
Speaker 5: thirty million. There's the Anthony Joshua money quote and stuff.
13:50
Speaker 5: Do you feel like this could be leading to that
13:53
Speaker 5: same type of friction or do you think it'll be
13:55
Speaker 5: an easier negotiation this time.
13:56
Speaker 1: John's always been well compensated, you know, He's always been
13:59
Speaker 1: well compensated. H I would never put his total purse
14:06
Speaker 1: number out there, but it's fucking massive, the number that
14:09
Speaker 1: he went over tonight. He's He's made a lot of
14:12
Speaker 1: money in his career. Listen, you don't fight and then
14:14
Speaker 1: disappear for five years because you weren't well compensated. Makes
14:19
Speaker 1: a lot of money. So he'll make a lot more
14:22
Speaker 1: for this fight.
14:23
Speaker 8: On a slightly happier note for boxing than I know
14:25
Speaker 8: you're disappointed about Tyson and all that, But did you
14:28
Speaker 8: get to see the Serrano Taylor fight.
14:30
Speaker 1: Yes, it was awesome.
14:33
Speaker 8: Do you think uh Serrano, I'm over here in the
14:35
Speaker 8: middle data Okay, do you think Serano won as she's
14:38
Speaker 8: saying on Socials.
14:39
Speaker 1: Or I don't know. I mean I was watching it,
14:42
Speaker 1: but I wasn't scoring it. But it was a great fight.
14:45
Speaker 1: You know, those girls were banging, throwing tons of combos,
14:49
Speaker 1: and that's the other thing. I mean, all the people
14:51
Speaker 1: that are you know, you know, there's a lot of
14:55
Speaker 1: Portannoi went out and said that it was the greatest
14:57
Speaker 1: con job of all time, and h I mean, if
15:02
Speaker 1: if you didn't think that, that's the way the fight,
15:03
Speaker 1: I don't know what people expected. You know, Mike's almost
15:06
Speaker 1: sixty years old. He's Mike Tyson, but he's sixty years old,
15:10
Speaker 1: and he knew that Jake Paul couldn't do anything to him.
15:14
Speaker 1: So you knew what you were gonna get when you
15:16
Speaker 1: saw that fight. He can't be mad. It was fucking free.
15:18
Speaker 1: We all got Netflix anyway, right, and you got to
15:21
Speaker 1: watch the girls fight. And the girls fight was good,
15:24
Speaker 1: you know, I know a lot of people were pissed,
15:25
Speaker 1: but and it was a bit of a shit show.
15:28
Speaker 1: But you know what, what did you expect? Seriously, when
15:32
Speaker 1: you stayed home and you turned on Netflix that night,
15:35
Speaker 1: we were like, holy fuck, I'm about to see the
15:36
Speaker 1: greatest live sporting event of all time. No, you fucking
15:40
Speaker 1: did not. You got exactly what you thought you were
15:43
Speaker 1: gonna get.
15:44
Speaker 8: I was there for the Toronto Taylor, but you know it.
15:47
Speaker 1: Was Oh you were there and you flew back here,
15:51
Speaker 1: Oh no to watch? Yeah, yeah watching? Yeah, Yeah, you're right,
15:53
Speaker 1: And that's the listen. If you're a five fan, you're right.
15:57
Speaker 1: You're right.
15:58
Speaker 5: Dana going off that sorry because it's cut me off
16:00
Speaker 5: before you're obviously watching the event. What did you think of,
16:04
Speaker 5: like the production and stuff for Netflix? As I imagine
16:06
Speaker 5: as you guys go into this negotiation for the next
16:08
Speaker 5: television rates.
16:09
Speaker 1: Well, nobody does my production. I do. That's been my deal.
16:13
Speaker 1: But that's not the deal with almost every sport is
16:16
Speaker 1: maybe every sport as far as I know, but not me.
16:19
Speaker 1: Nobody's going to control my product. I do. And for Netflix,
16:26
Speaker 1: this thing was brilliant because you knew it was gonna
16:28
Speaker 1: pull a massive number because of Mike Tyson. Right, And
16:31
Speaker 1: to be fair to Jake, you're gonna turn in. You're
16:33
Speaker 1: going to tune in to watch him get knocked out hopefully, right,
16:35
Speaker 1: that's what everybody wants to see. But they needed to
16:40
Speaker 1: do this test. They got the NFL coming at Christmas,
16:42
Speaker 1: they're just getting into live sports. They needed to do
16:45
Speaker 1: this to test it, to test something that they knew
16:47
Speaker 1: they would pull a big number on. And Mike Tyson
16:49
Speaker 1: pulls big numbers.
16:51
Speaker 5: And you booked this Ian Gary versus shop Cup fight
16:54
Speaker 5: for the next pay per view, no interim title, just
16:56
Speaker 5: to comin event. Five rounds was that discussed at all?
16:59
Speaker 5: And with ball All out in this situation, was an
17:02
Speaker 5: interim title not the right decision?
17:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we know when Ballall's coming back, you know
17:07
Speaker 1: he's not going to be out that long. So it's
17:10
Speaker 1: a number one contender fight. You do five rounds, which
17:12
Speaker 1: is great for both of those guys to get five
17:14
Speaker 1: rounds under the belt before they fight Blall. And when
17:18
Speaker 1: do you ever have a fight, especially in MMA, we
17:21
Speaker 1: have two undefeated guys. You got an eighteen and oher
17:24
Speaker 1: with one hundred percent finish rate and a fifteen and
17:26
Speaker 1: oh you know, two of the best young up and
17:29
Speaker 1: coming prospects in the division to face off to see
17:32
Speaker 1: who's the number one contender.
17:33
Speaker 5: Shafka tweeted out that he was really disappointed in the division.
17:36
Speaker 5: He said, basically everyone ranked above Ian turned the fight down.
17:40
Speaker 5: Was it difficult to get the fight made?
17:42
Speaker 1: No, not at all. Listen, all these guys get disappointed, boy,
17:45
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to talk about disappointment. Chris Widen
17:47
Speaker 1: is probably the most disappointed dude on the planet right now.
17:49
Speaker 1: That's the sport and it happens.
17:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you announced the key one schedule tonight. That
17:56
Speaker 5: came out and you're going to the Intuit Dome in
17:58
Speaker 5: LA in January? Was why I go there instead of
18:01
Speaker 5: Staples Center? What's appealing about it?
18:03
Speaker 1: It's new, you know, I like new arenas, new technology,
18:07
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, this place is supposed to be bad
18:09
Speaker 1: ass and I'm looking forward to checking it out. Dana
18:12
Speaker 1: can I can't wait. Congrats on tonight. Thank you, sir.
18:16
Speaker 1: You've turned the UFC into this global.
18:18
Speaker 9: Entity powerful you you mentioned that, I mean, I think
18:21
Speaker 9: for boxing fans, it was frustrating last night. So often
18:24
Speaker 9: in our lives when boxings had big moments they've stumbled
18:27
Speaker 9: where that's kind of where the UFC flourishes. Is that
18:29
Speaker 9: still an option for you to to revamp the boxing
18:32
Speaker 9: world or is that just too complicated a task.
18:36
Speaker 1: It's no, it's it's it's it's the question. Uh, it's
18:40
Speaker 1: the question to ask. We're gonna find out I'm interested in.
18:45
Speaker 1: We're trying to hammer something out right now if it
18:48
Speaker 1: gets done, and we'll probably done around February, and then
18:53
Speaker 1: we'll find out it needs to be ripped right down
18:57
Speaker 1: to the ground and rebuilt. We started this kind company.
19:01
Speaker 1: We had uh, like thirteen contracts. Nobody knew anybody. We
19:05
Speaker 1: weren't on television. We had a direct TV deal where
19:08
Speaker 1: we did like fucking twenty five hundred buys every time
19:10
Speaker 1: we did a show, and we literally built it from
19:13
Speaker 1: the ground up. That's how you do it. I don't
19:15
Speaker 1: know if there's ever been a sporting of business or
19:18
Speaker 1: anything in the history of the world that has brought
19:21
Speaker 1: in trillions of dollars trillions in revenue and at the
19:24
Speaker 1: end of the day, there's nothing left. There's nothing there.
19:26
Speaker 1: It's you know, So that's the plan.
19:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, just taking in the front right here. The the
19:35
Speaker 2: odds for Tom and John where the early odds are
19:38
Speaker 2: just released. Tom is a minus one thirty five to
19:40
Speaker 2: John being a plus one fifteen. I'm curious what you
19:42
Speaker 2: make of those odds.
19:43
Speaker 1: It's awesome. I love it.
19:45
Speaker 3: I love it. Just one other last one that I remembered.
19:48
Speaker 2: It was announced Nick Diaz is probably out of his
19:50
Speaker 2: fight because we sent a Luke. Does that have anything
19:53
Speaker 2: to do with that video of Nick that came out.
19:56
Speaker 1: That Nicks out of the fight?
19:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's been reported.
19:58
Speaker 1: Should I don't even know that kind of the fight?
20:02
Speaker 2: Okay, well, if have you been made aware of that
20:06
Speaker 2: video of Nick going around social media?
20:08
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of videos in Nicky Nate Dana.
20:13
Speaker 9: The UFC signed Mikey Mussa Machi to the first PJJ
20:16
Speaker 9: exclusive promotional contract in UFC history.
20:18
Speaker 10: Can you just talk more about the work that went
20:20
Speaker 10: into that.
20:20
Speaker 3: You said it's been in the works for over a year.
20:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we're getting into uh, we're getting into
20:26
Speaker 1: into grappling now. So he's one of many. We'll go
20:30
Speaker 1: after all the greatest guys in the world. Yeah, over, yep.
20:36
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, congrats on the night, on the phenomenal night.
20:39
Speaker 11: I wanted to ask you you know, were there any
20:41
Speaker 11: upcoming fighters or you know, something a couple a couple
20:44
Speaker 11: of guys on the under card you're actually excited about
20:46
Speaker 11: potential matchups happening later. And also, you know, just to
20:49
Speaker 11: emphasize the impact that tonight, you know, with the past
20:52
Speaker 11: presidential election and and everything going on on the grandest
20:56
Speaker 11: stage possibly in the country, you know, just the overall
20:59
Speaker 11: energy and everything tonight.
21:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we always all the guys that are
21:05
Speaker 1: on the undercards are usually guys that we you know,
21:08
Speaker 1: have high hopes for and that you know, we're looking
21:10
Speaker 1: to build. I don't really understand your question about the election,
21:15
Speaker 1: but yeah, like I said earlier, I mean I can
21:18
Speaker 1: feel the difference when I go into places like New
21:21
Speaker 1: York that's that's normally crazy blue, and people are running
21:24
Speaker 1: up to me and thanking me and saying, you know,
21:27
Speaker 1: it's just it's a And New York has a completely
21:30
Speaker 1: different vibe this time than the last. You know, several
21:33
Speaker 1: times that I've been here, it feels like New York again,
21:38
Speaker 1: does one down one to go LA, Let's get LA.
21:44
Speaker 12: Back data just in general, like, why do you think
21:47
Speaker 12: your fighters kind of relate well to Trump? Because like
21:49
Speaker 12: back back to back. It was both than Chandler than
21:53
Speaker 12: John Why do you think they relate to what to the president?
21:55
Speaker 1: Well, if you saw the election, the entire country relates
21:58
Speaker 1: with Trump right now. When all the swing states, the
22:01
Speaker 1: only states she won were the ones that you didn't
22:03
Speaker 1: need ID to vote in, it would have been interesting,
22:05
Speaker 1: if you need a ID, how that would have played
22:07
Speaker 1: out too. I think that, I think the whole country
22:12
Speaker 1: it feels like somebody hit the reset button. Everything feels
22:15
Speaker 1: And however this election went, everybody was hoping it was
22:21
Speaker 1: a blowout either way so there would be no more bullshit.
22:24
Speaker 1: And what I think is, I think everybody's tired of
22:27
Speaker 1: the bullshit. Man, We're all tired. We all just want
22:29
Speaker 1: to live our lives and run our businesses and raise
22:31
Speaker 1: our families and do all that shit and and hopefully, uh,
22:36
Speaker 1: this stuff will all simmer down in the next four years.
22:39
Speaker 12: Because when you had that speech when he got elected,
22:43
Speaker 12: you think that's what the boys like, all the podcasters.
22:45
Speaker 12: So it seems like a lot of young men like
22:47
Speaker 12: relate Walter Shrimp. So just like how the fighters can relate.
22:50
Speaker 7: Some of the night.
22:52
Speaker 1: So I've had this, I've had this philosophy for the
22:56
Speaker 1: last five years. That traditional media is dead and it
23:00
Speaker 1: doesn't hold the influence that it used to hold. The
23:03
Speaker 1: two most hated people in this world right now, the
23:05
Speaker 1: media and the politicians. Nobody trusts them and nobody believes them.
23:09
Speaker 1: And the true influence right now is with these kids
23:13
Speaker 1: that are on the Internet and they're called influencers. So
23:17
Speaker 1: I've been creating relationships with these people over the last
23:20
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, four or five years, and
23:24
Speaker 1: this election was one on the internet, da the way,
23:30
Speaker 1: the way, the way power Slab was built, That's the
23:33
Speaker 1: way this election was one. And the Hispanic vote was
23:38
Speaker 1: incredibly powerful, the male black vote, and the youth, the
23:42
Speaker 1: youth all came out.
23:44
Speaker 13: So Dana, Yeah, you've worked with John Jones for sixteen years.
23:49
Speaker 13: You've seen him go through ups and downs in and
23:51
Speaker 13: outside of the cage outside of his fighting career. What
23:54
Speaker 13: do you think is your most impactful moment you've had with.
23:56
Speaker 1: John outside of what his fighting career.
24:00
Speaker 3: Yep, outside of the cage.
24:01
Speaker 1: Like as And and John Jones never got along outside of
24:04
Speaker 1: the cage. We've had a horrendous relationship for sixteen years,
24:08
Speaker 1: not sixteen, call it ten twelve.
24:12
Speaker 13: Well, I'm sure he's happy that you're claiming him as
24:14
Speaker 13: a pound for pound.
24:15
Speaker 1: Number one, because it's a fact. We don't have to
24:17
Speaker 1: like each other. We don't have to worry. I'm not
24:18
Speaker 1: saying we don't have that kind of relationship anymore, but
24:22
Speaker 1: I don't have to like him to realize who he
24:27
Speaker 1: is and what he is and what he's capable of,
24:29
Speaker 1: and see the brilliance you know he is. He is
24:34
Speaker 1: the best to ever fight in a fucking fight period. Ever.
24:42
Speaker 1: I agree, unless like maybe in the Roman days. I
24:44
Speaker 1: don't know how fucking anybody that fought back then, but
24:46
Speaker 1: since people have been fucking documenting fighting, he's the best ever.
24:50
Speaker 1: And one last question for me.
24:51
Speaker 13: Venom has come out with a lot of custom shorts
24:53
Speaker 13: this year. Four fighters on today's card had him. Which
24:56
Speaker 13: ones are your favorite of this year?
24:58
Speaker 1: I don't even know anything about any of them. All good.
25:01
Speaker 1: That is way out of my fucking wheelhouse.
25:04
Speaker 10: Right back here.
25:05
Speaker 14: Yeah, you've hit one hundred shows in the Apex. Uh
25:09
Speaker 14: this year, seventeen out of twenty eight UFC fight nights
25:13
Speaker 14: will have taken place inside the Apex.
25:15
Speaker 1: With every other sport back to pre.
25:17
Speaker 14: Pandemic operations, do you plan on getting on the road
25:22
Speaker 14: more than fifty of the shows this year.
25:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the one that got all of the sports
25:30
Speaker 1: back on the road that you did.
25:32
Speaker 14: And yeah, I've wondered why we're still at the Apex.
25:36
Speaker 1: Because, you know what, I had a problem going to
25:38
Speaker 1: a lot of places. At one point, I said, do
25:40
Speaker 1: you know where I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go to
25:42
Speaker 1: places where it's easy to run my business and we're
25:44
Speaker 1: not gonna have to deal with any bullshit. So you know,
25:48
Speaker 1: we we you know where we've been the usual suspects.
25:56
Speaker 1: So we uh we we uh, we're gonna stay. Are
26:00
Speaker 1: hitting a lot of those places this year, and yes, sir,
26:02
Speaker 1: we will. We will travel, fight nights more too. Sounds good, Dana,
26:08
Speaker 1: Yeah here, yeah here, okay, yeah yeah.
26:12
Speaker 15: Coming through this room, a guy told me have a
26:15
Speaker 15: cancer and the one monthtually, but that he was happy
26:19
Speaker 15: to have seeing a UFC event. How do you feel
26:23
Speaker 15: provided this kind of emotion for people?
26:29
Speaker 1: He said?
26:30
Speaker 3: There was some I believe it. He said, there was
26:31
Speaker 3: someone he met that was dying from cancer.
26:33
Speaker 5: But what was it?
26:36
Speaker 1: He said?
26:37
Speaker 3: I believe? He correct me if I'm wrong.
26:38
Speaker 2: He met a fan that was dying from cancer and
26:40
Speaker 2: he was happy that I was able to see that.
26:44
Speaker 1: Do we have a translator here?
26:47
Speaker 10: Oh?
26:47
Speaker 1: John Jones kid, the guy with John Jones?
26:51
Speaker 15: No, No, just a guy in this in this Madison
26:55
Speaker 15: Square Garden have a cancert and told me and he's happy.
27:01
Speaker 1: So we've had so much of that so behind the scenes,
27:06
Speaker 1: like people will reach out all the time that are
27:08
Speaker 1: dying of cancer and all these different things, and we
27:10
Speaker 1: always bring people in to experience it. And how does
27:13
Speaker 1: it make me feel incredible that people who are dying
27:16
Speaker 1: want to come here and see an event, you know
27:18
Speaker 1: what I mean?
27:19
Speaker 10: It's he was very happy in here.
27:22
Speaker 1: Makes me happy, yes, sir?
27:25
Speaker 16: Yeah, you say that Jon has the potential to be
27:28
Speaker 16: the biggest heavyweight fight of all time. Is that a
27:31
Speaker 16: fight that you think you could go against your normal
27:34
Speaker 16: rules and go for a stadium.
27:38
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the potential it's going to be. It's
27:40
Speaker 1: gonna be the biggest heavyweight fight ever. It'll probably be
27:44
Speaker 1: the biggest fight we've ever done. And uh, I hate stadiums, man,
27:50
Speaker 1: I hate him. I like arenas. It's just such a
27:53
Speaker 1: better vibe. People can see better, you know, probably in.
28:01
Speaker 16: That fight will obviously take place in the USA.
28:04
Speaker 1: We don't know we're talking about. We were literally talking
28:06
Speaker 1: about a lot of different options tonight before we came
28:09
Speaker 1: in here. Could be anywhere, could literally be anywhere.
28:14
Speaker 3: Thank you over here just quickly.
28:17
Speaker 17: You know, obviously you don't make the fights on the night.
28:19
Speaker 17: But I'd imagine if if Chandler had beatn OLIVERA would
28:22
Speaker 17: have been well, Oliver is obviously gonna gonna move on
28:24
Speaker 17: and be fighting up the division. Does does the results
28:27
Speaker 17: almost kind of help him in getting that McGregor fight
28:30
Speaker 17: back on track a little bit? The fact that it
28:32
Speaker 17: didn't go his way tonight, I don't know.
28:34
Speaker 1: I mean anything, spot Listen. Like I said, he's like
28:38
Speaker 1: Arturo Gatti, you know what I mean. People want to
28:41
Speaker 1: see him fight, win, lose or draw. He's always exciting,
28:44
Speaker 1: he's always fun. I mean the last round of that fight,
28:48
Speaker 1: he kept getting taken down, get on his back. So
28:51
Speaker 1: when he got on his back at the end, he
28:52
Speaker 1: just stood up and started slamming him. The kid always
28:55
Speaker 1: tries to win. He always comes to fight, and Michael
28:58
Speaker 1: Chandler is always gonna have a I mean until he
29:01
Speaker 1: decides to retire. Michael Chandler isn't going anywhere? Will he
29:04
Speaker 1: fight Connor? I don't know. With regards Connor.
29:07
Speaker 17: You mentioned on on the Jim Road Jol and again
29:09
Speaker 17: today that it's gonna be the end of next year,
29:10
Speaker 17: which will bring him over four years out of the octagon.
29:13
Speaker 17: I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago and
29:14
Speaker 17: he seemed more like he was maybe gonna fight in February. First,
29:17
Speaker 17: where's the disconnect there?
29:18
Speaker 1: Who felt like that? Connor Connor? And disconnect in me?
29:22
Speaker 1: And there's no doubt that Connor Connor hits me up
29:31
Speaker 1: all the time. Connor wants to fight Connor. I told
29:34
Speaker 1: you guys that he probably wouldn't fight in twenty four,
29:36
Speaker 1: and he didn't. He's gonna fight in twenty five, probably
29:39
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. If it's earlier, that's
29:43
Speaker 1: good for all of us. Why so late the one
29:46
Speaker 1: it's gonna play out? Thank you, Thank you, you know, yeah.
29:50
Speaker 10: Here, thanks for making a great night. Thank you, sir,
29:52
Speaker 10: it was a great experience. I wanted to ask about
29:55
Speaker 10: John Jones. I know you like Christians about him. So
29:59
Speaker 10: if Ospinall gets out of the fight, if your schedule
30:03
Speaker 10: a fight then he gets out of fight, do you
30:05
Speaker 10: think you'll try to make a fight against Perreira.
30:08
Speaker 1: No, okay, you know what, you know what tonight told me.
30:11
Speaker 1: There's no fucking way I make the Perira fight. Okay,
30:14
Speaker 1: John's too big, great wrestler. See how he took step
30:18
Speaker 1: A down in that first round. I like Alex Perera,
30:22
Speaker 1: I like him personally, you know, but it's just the
30:25
Speaker 1: greater time, right, it just doesn't make sense to make
30:28
Speaker 1: that fight. If they both want it bad enough and
30:31
Speaker 1: they're both fucking hounding me or something, maybe I would
30:35
Speaker 1: do it. It's just Alex Perera is killing it. Look
30:38
Speaker 1: at his age and what he's doing right now. What's
30:42
Speaker 1: what's the reason to go up and fight a guy
30:43
Speaker 1: that's so much bigger than you and such a good wrestler.
30:48
Speaker 5: What is it?
30:49
Speaker 10: Money?
30:50
Speaker 1: Money? And no, yeah, no, you're right, that's that's definitely
30:54
Speaker 1: that's definitely a reason. But just so we're clear, I
30:58
Speaker 1: don't want to make any of that kind of money.
31:00
Speaker 1: I want Pereira to stay where he is and do
31:03
Speaker 1: what he does and you know, run the street. But again,
31:06
Speaker 1: if they go crazy on me and they want to
31:07
Speaker 1: do it, then then what am I gonna do? They're
31:09
Speaker 1: grown ass men, and and and I'm sure the fans
31:12
Speaker 1: want to see I'm sure you want to see it.
31:13
Speaker 1: I guess we'll talk about it.
31:15
Speaker 10: And the second question off topic a little bit. Uh
31:19
Speaker 10: uh be for the fight. You said you're gonna announce
31:22
Speaker 10: the makativ Sarakan soum.
31:24
Speaker 1: Is it still like actual or I said it was
31:27
Speaker 1: gonna announce what?
31:28
Speaker 10: Uh the Sarukan and Makatu fight. Oh and Los Angeles?
31:35
Speaker 1: Okay?
31:36
Speaker 10: Is it like already like done or you're still working
31:39
Speaker 10: on it?
31:39
Speaker 1: Because did I announce it?
31:41
Speaker 15: No?
31:41
Speaker 10: I didn't by you say you're gonna announce it.
31:43
Speaker 1: I said I was gonna announce it after this fight
31:45
Speaker 1: at the press conference. You're good, sir?
31:53
Speaker 16: Sorry?
31:54
Speaker 10: Uh?
31:54
Speaker 3: Two cool questions.
31:55
Speaker 10: Uh.
31:56
Speaker 3: Some fighters have said that they like the new gloves.
31:59
Speaker 3: Is there he thought about this?
32:00
Speaker 1: One guy? All right?
32:03
Speaker 3: No, just saying let the fighters choose.
32:05
Speaker 8: Is that a I know you said you're waiting to
32:07
Speaker 8: get more gloves in, but if any fighters still want
32:10
Speaker 8: to use the new gloves. Two guys said that there
32:13
Speaker 8: their hands felt really good after the fight. It gave
32:16
Speaker 8: better protection.
32:17
Speaker 3: Any thought on that?
32:19
Speaker 1: You know how fucking good that is? The hair, sir?
32:21
Speaker 1: You know which money I spent on this money, time energy.
32:24
Speaker 1: I'm very happy that two guys love the gloves. I'm
32:28
Speaker 1: really happy. It might be more than two, but there
32:30
Speaker 1: might be Speak up now or forever, hold your peace. Yeah,
32:34
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad to hear it.
32:36
Speaker 8: The last question I have is, uh, it seemed like
32:40
Speaker 8: you might have softened your stance on an outdoor venue,
32:44
Speaker 8: perhaps for say a UFC Africa, or perhaps.
32:47
Speaker 3: Even a smaller arena than you might normally do.
32:50
Speaker 1: Why is that?
32:51
Speaker 3: Why?
32:51
Speaker 8: Why do you say that they saw an interview a
32:54
Speaker 8: couple of weeks ago, three weeks ago. I think it
32:56
Speaker 8: was where it sounded like you were maybe maybe we
32:59
Speaker 8: do something there with what's existing. But that's where I
33:04
Speaker 8: want to lead with, is what are your thoughts on
33:06
Speaker 8: the existing infrastructure in that whole continent.
33:10
Speaker 1: So all the top executives from the Yankees were here tonight,
33:13
Speaker 1: and the president of the Yankees told me that they
33:17
Speaker 1: would love to do a fight at Yankee Stadium outside
33:19
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. It's just we did one fight
33:22
Speaker 1: outside one time at Abu Dhabi. The heat was a problem,
33:25
Speaker 1: the humidity was a problem, the bugs were a problem.
33:29
Speaker 1: I mean, just I don't like doing things in places
33:35
Speaker 1: or environments that affect the fight, you know, and all
33:38
Speaker 1: of those things affect a fight, the outcome of a fight.
33:43
Speaker 1: And again I don't like the viewing experience for the
33:46
Speaker 1: fans either, So that some.
33:49
Speaker 8: Of these smaller stadiums, since there aren't any large arenas
33:52
Speaker 8: currently available in there, is that going to be large
33:57
Speaker 8: enough to entice the UFC to go, or still waiting
34:00
Speaker 8: for hopefully someplace to come up with something larger.
34:02
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know everybody thinks we do everything
34:05
Speaker 1: for money, but everything isn't about money for me. It's
34:08
Speaker 1: more about an experience. I never ever want people to
34:16
Speaker 1: turn off the television and feel the way they felt
34:19
Speaker 1: last night after they watch a fight. I want the
34:22
Speaker 1: exact opposite. I want people to be like glad I
34:25
Speaker 1: stay at home, Glad I watched it, not pissed. I
34:27
Speaker 1: paid for it, you know. And I especially people who travel,
34:32
Speaker 1: So there will be people that will fly, buy tickets,
34:37
Speaker 1: playing tickets, hotel rooms, dinners, shopping tickets to the fight,
34:41
Speaker 1: and then go there and have a bad experience, whether
34:43
Speaker 1: it's any of those things, the weather, the wind, the heat,
34:46
Speaker 1: the humidity, the bugs, I mean, any of that stuff,
34:50
Speaker 1: I'd like to be able to control everything a little
34:53
Speaker 1: bit more. I can control everything that happens inside this arena.
34:58
Speaker 1: There can be some weird shit. The fucking gate broke
35:01
Speaker 1: and everybody fell on the ground. You know, that kind
35:03
Speaker 1: of shit will happen here and there. But in all
35:05
Speaker 1: the years we've been doing it, it's happened one time. Right.
35:09
Speaker 1: I can't control what happens when that cage door shuts,
35:12
Speaker 1: and if we're outside, I can't control anything. Nothing, anything
35:17
Speaker 1: can happen, And I hate that. I don't. I don't
35:20
Speaker 1: like that feeling.
35:21
Speaker 8: Sure some would argue that there's plenty of other sports
35:25
Speaker 8: that live through it and just fine, but people don't.
35:28
Speaker 1: Get exactly big difference if you're kicking a soccer ball
35:32
Speaker 1: or you know, fucking hitting home runs whatever, totally different.
35:35
Speaker 1: I mean they even stop and rain and baseball, right,
35:38
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you can't stop. We can't have a
35:41
Speaker 1: rain delay.
35:43
Speaker 3: Why not?
35:44
Speaker 1: Because it's fucking ridiculous and it will never happen as
35:47
Speaker 1: long as I'm alive. That's never gonna happen. We're never
35:50
Speaker 1: gonna have a rain delay in the UFC. Yeah, think
35:55
Speaker 1: about again last night boxing, Right, these guys will do fight,
36:01
Speaker 1: then have a fucking podcast for an hour and thirty
36:03
Speaker 1: minutes before the next fucking fight comes on. Right, we're
36:07
Speaker 1: gonna do a rain delay. It's never gonna happen. Man.
36:10
Speaker 1: You know what we do. We go boom boom boom,
36:13
Speaker 1: boom boom, and all the fights fucking roll all night,
36:15
Speaker 1: all the shit talks done. You don't need to see
36:18
Speaker 1: fucking Rosie Perez breaking down fights and and uh.
36:24
Speaker 3: You know, like a job.
36:27
Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, have a great night, everybody. Thank you.
