- 3:13Speaker 2: But you'll get to hear from some of the boys.
- 3:14Speaker 2: The boys are gonna be involved. I'm gonna be involved again,
- 3:16Speaker 2: of course, very heavily. Uh. Taylor will be involved a
- 3:19Speaker 2: little bit because you know, we don't We're not gonna
- 3:21Speaker 2: blame anybody, but there were there were some we fumbled
- 3:24Speaker 2: a couple bags on getting people videos last year, and
- 3:25Speaker 2: we're not gonna say names. I got all mine done,
- 3:28Speaker 2: but we're not gonna say names. Uh. But before we
- 3:30Speaker 2: get into it, this episode is of course always brought
- 3:33Speaker 2: to you by Chevy the Chevrolet Silverado, the best truck
- 3:37Speaker 2: on the planet. It's football season. We're in. We're in
- 3:40Speaker 2: the thick of it. Boys. It's time to up up
- 3:42Speaker 2: your tailgating game. Fall means football and tailgating. It's time
- 3:47Speaker 2: to up your tailgating game again. With the strongest, most
- 3:51Speaker 2: advanced Silverado on the planet. UH, the available multi flex
- 3:54Speaker 2: tailgate with six convenient configurations. Let me say that again,
- 3:58Speaker 2: six convenient configuration on a tailgate that'll give you a
- 4:02Speaker 2: step up on your tailgating game. There's the primary tailgate,
- 4:05Speaker 2: which you guys obviously I all know about, opens up
- 4:07Speaker 2: with the push of a button and on the keyfob
- 4:09Speaker 2: from the inside of your truck. The inner gate folds
- 4:11Speaker 2: down into a large step to easily get in and
- 4:14Speaker 2: out of the bed. So if your knees are bad,
- 4:15Speaker 2: your ankles are bad, like myself, you'll need that step
- 4:18Speaker 2: to get up and out of the bed. There's also
- 4:20Speaker 2: an easy access configuration where the inner gate folds down,
- 4:23Speaker 2: allowing you to reach farther into the bed. My old man,
- 4:26Speaker 2: he struggles like jumping in the tailgate of a bed
- 4:28Speaker 2: for whatever reason, so he can slide in reach a
- 4:30Speaker 2: little bit farther. Now. It can also become a desk.
- 4:32Speaker 2: The boys now, I backed the Chevy Silverado in at
- 4:36Speaker 2: the bus stop, and the boys now they just flip
- 4:39Speaker 2: the tailgate back. It becomes a desk form They put
- 4:42Speaker 2: their iPads and their laptops and everything else and they
- 4:45Speaker 2: work off the surface of the tailgate. The Chevy Silverado
- 4:48Speaker 2: Modern Advance a ton of grit, a partner with getting
- 4:51Speaker 2: things done, and the Silverado strong, dependable. Just you guys
- 4:55Speaker 2: all know the characteristics of what it takes to be
- 4:58Speaker 2: sitting in a Chevy Silverado. This episode is about that.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Our guest Michael Chandler. He is, of course built like
- 5:04Speaker 2: a Shivvy Silverado, the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. All right,
- 5:09Speaker 2: let's get into it. Boys, where where do we want
- 5:14Speaker 2: to start? Do we want to start with the North
- 5:17Speaker 2: Kenny Raiders advancing the semi finals or the high school
- 5:19Speaker 2: Missouri state playoffs? Yeah? The boys. So my hometown Bonta, Missouri.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Shout out everybody in Bonta, Missouri. Bontero means good Earth
- 5:28Speaker 2: and French. The boys are twelve and one. They won
- 5:33Speaker 2: the quarterfinals. We weren't sure. Uh, they're playing against Vshan,
- 5:36Speaker 2: a city team predominantly black. I just not that race matters,
- 5:41Speaker 2: but just getting all the facts out there when you're
- 5:44Speaker 2: when you're a predominantly white school going against a black
- 5:48Speaker 2: football team. There's a little like I'm speaking from my
- 5:50Speaker 2: own experience when I was in high school, we played Normandy,
- 5:52Speaker 2: we played New Madrid. There's like a little bit of
- 5:55Speaker 2: that all right, what are we gonna get? But you know,
- 5:57Speaker 2: you adapt, you improvise, you overcome. The boys end up
- 6:00Speaker 2: winning that game. I think it was forty, like forty
- 6:04Speaker 2: five to twenty four. Maybe it was something like that.
- 6:06Speaker 2: It was twenty five zero. I'm sitting there, dude, and
- 6:09Speaker 2: it is hilarious being back home. I'm sitting there in
- 6:12Speaker 2: the stands and uh, you guys. If for those who
- 6:16Speaker 2: don't follow me, you guys should obviously follow me on
- 6:18Speaker 2: all platforms. I posted the video everywhere, but the crowd
- 6:22Speaker 2: many the crowd, bro like I it was almost unbearable
- 6:28Speaker 2: at times. We're up twenty five zero in these boys,
- 6:30Speaker 2: and it's like these dudes are yelling left and right
- 6:33Speaker 2: in the stands like the rest are throwing the game
- 6:36Speaker 2: they were the first is that rep? Hey, the rev
- 6:39Speaker 2: getting in your ear over there, age your ref and dude,

- 6:45Speaker 2: the Biscuit, brad Lebron, my family, a charo. We're all
- 6:49Speaker 2: sitting there and we're just cringing at times with everybody
- 6:52Speaker 2: just yelling at these refs. Like imagine being a high
- 6:54Speaker 2: school ref. Were any of your guys' parents like that?
- 6:58Speaker 2: Be honest, I don't know my mom My mom yells
- 7:01Speaker 2: a little bit. You gotta put it in her place
- 7:02Speaker 2: every now and then because it's like, hey, mom, you
- 7:05Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about right now. Mom, like,
- 7:06Speaker 2: let's let's calm it down. But it was hilarious being back.
- 7:12Speaker 2: I just feel I feel bad as one dude. One
- 7:14Speaker 2: dude's dad's up there just going nuts the entire game.
- 7:18Speaker 2: And I won't say names, but the player that was
- 7:22Speaker 2: his old man, and I'm just like, dude, imagine if
- 7:24Speaker 2: your dad is just like that every game, just yelling
- 7:28Speaker 2: from the bleachers all the time, like that ship is embarrassing.
- 7:32Speaker 2: But hey, everybody takes that shit serious. I know Bonter Missouri.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Uh yeah, just from the top of the bleachers screaming,
- 7:41Speaker 2: damn it, blew your cheet my boys. We had one
- 7:46Speaker 2: dude yelling I didn't get I didn't get that on video,
- 7:48Speaker 2: but one dude really was yelling like how much is

- 7:54Speaker 2: And we were we were, we were winning the game heavily,
- 7:57Speaker 2: but uh, he's looking for no just looking for issues.

- 9:46Speaker 2: at Bullpen the night before and there's actually a lot
- 9:49Speaker 2: of the some of the players were there and their
- 9:52Speaker 2: parents and stuff were there, and you know, you know
- 9:55Speaker 2: how the parents play their role in either cooking for

- 10:08Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, it's like, damn, live it up, man,
- 10:11Speaker 2: because it ain't none but babies and memories after a
- 10:12Speaker 2: high school ball man and nothing after after senior year?

- 10:21Speaker 2: and remember small for the camera, sweetheart. It's like this
- 10:24Speaker 2: old player. You guys known, you guys don't talk about right. Okay,
- 10:26Speaker 2: maybe it's just not a good story. Maybe I'm not
- 10:28Speaker 2: telling it good, but small for the camera, sweetheart hands
- 10:32Speaker 2: off his kid. He's wearing his championship ring in high school. Yeah. Yeah,
- 10:39Speaker 2: let's get into a man. The Titans. The boys dropped, Well,
- 10:44Speaker 2: how long was their winning streak?
- 10:45Speaker 6: Though?
- 10:47Speaker 2: Boys dropped the They fumbled the bag, they dropped the
- 10:49Speaker 2: ball man. They lost yesterday. Yeah, like, no, we were
- 10:53Speaker 2: up at game and a half. We can afford to
- 10:54Speaker 2: lose that game. Okay, so hey, we're on the same team.
- 11:00Speaker 2: We're on the same team. You know what I'm saying?
- 11:03Speaker 2: What are you talking about? I know, it's just we
- 11:08Speaker 2: dropped a game.
- 11:09Speaker 7: We're still up how much?
- 11:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I got you. I'm trying to just lay some
- 11:13Speaker 2: context before we get into the man of the people.
- 11:15Speaker 2: I'm just letting you know we're on the same team, Garrett,
- 11:17Speaker 2: I get it. You got to question me a little bit.
- 11:19Speaker 2: I'm not as die hard as somebody who grew up
- 11:23Speaker 2: and lived here and went through all the trials and
- 11:25Speaker 2: tribulations of Titans football. But the Boys lost, and in
- 11:31Speaker 2: a in a tough ashion. I will say that the
- 11:33Speaker 2: positive is they're still in that game with five turnovers.
- 11:37Speaker 2: They're literally they're they're still in the game with five turnovers.
- 11:40Speaker 2: And I want to say I was reading a couple
- 11:42Speaker 2: of things that the Texan scored twelve points or thirteen
- 11:49Speaker 2: points out of all of their turnovers, and outside of that,
- 11:51Speaker 2: like the points they actually earned, they only had like
- 11:53Speaker 2: one yard, one actual yard on those drives. Also, another
- 11:57Speaker 2: set I read out there was in their last several
- 12:00Speaker 2: possessions maybe it was six, they had zero first downs
- 12:05Speaker 2: in seven yards total. So it's you know, the Boys
- 12:09Speaker 2: did lose. The Boys lose. It's not like they looked
- 12:12Speaker 2: insane on offense, but it was it was it was
- 12:15Speaker 2: raining hard for able standing there dramatically standing in the rain,
- 12:17Speaker 2: just letting the drops just hit him, not wiping his
- 12:19Speaker 2: face at all, not asking for a towel, not like
- 12:22Speaker 2: running his hand through his hair and nothing, just knowing
- 12:24Speaker 2: the cameras on him, just letting the downpour hit him.
- 12:29Speaker 2: But let's hear from the people, man, Man, other people
- 12:31Speaker 2: segment we have Garrett. Obviously, you guys have already been
- 12:33Speaker 2: hearing from from passionate Garrett back there, already questioning my
- 12:38Speaker 2: loyalty the top. Yeah, hey, the boys, you know they dropped. Yeah, yeah,
- 12:46Speaker 2: he goes. Let's talk about the Titans. Man, you know
- 12:48Speaker 2: we dropped one. What did we drop? We dropped the game.
- 12:53Speaker 2: We went from two losses to three losses. Man, we
- 12:55Speaker 2: are the best three loss team in the league there is.
- 13:00Speaker 2: That's why I question those things two weeks ago. Do
- 13:04Speaker 2: you not think we're the best he lost team in
- 13:05Speaker 2: the NFL? Right now?
- 13:06Speaker 7: Well, I think we're the best team in the NFL regardless.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand, I understand you. We gotta have Now,
- 13:13Speaker 2: I'm not folding. I'm trying to have some I'm trying
- 13:15Speaker 2: to be rational. I can't just have blind loyal way you.
- 13:17Speaker 7: Like teed it up was this like if we were
- 13:20Speaker 7: in last place?
- 13:21Speaker 2: Now, no, no, who are you falling on Twitter to
- 13:25Speaker 2: make you project this a way?
- 13:26Speaker 1: Wild for him to do that though, like every all
- 13:29Speaker 1: Titans fans jump off the bridge like that.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Bridge. Okay, Garret, you were, you were, you were over set,
- 13:37Speaker 2: you were in seventeen after the Jets. What I was
- 13:41Speaker 2: still swinging the sword when you were ready to quit
- 13:43Speaker 2: on the boys after they lost the Jets.
- 13:44Speaker 7: Swinging swords for the Raiders.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Because it's still am what are you talking about? Wasn't
- 13:50Speaker 2: a football team won the game. I don't know why
- 13:52Speaker 2: I'm being attacked. You started, you were, you came out
- 13:55Speaker 2: with the knife.
- 13:55Speaker 8: What do you mean?
- 13:56Speaker 2: Well, I'm trying to run a kids show and you
- 13:59Speaker 2: come up eat.
- 14:00Speaker 7: It up like we're in Nebraska's category.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Now, whoa Just hang on, let's let's let's turn the
- 14:06Speaker 2: volume down. Give me a mic, the mike. Here's you, bro,
- 14:11Speaker 2: we got a new but we got a new boom mic.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Now things are going well? Whatever, Listen, the tone stands
- 14:18Speaker 2: up talking. So the tone of my voice, it really
- 14:24Speaker 2: puts you off, is what you're saying.
- 14:26Speaker 7: I just don't mean we lost it.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Would you say.
- 14:30Speaker 7: I don't think you like the word dropped.
- 14:32Speaker 2: Sorry to cut you off. Gart Was it the tone
- 14:34Speaker 2: of my voice?
- 14:35Speaker 7: No, I just I think it was just a little
- 14:37Speaker 7: more dramatic than it. Actually.
- 14:38Speaker 2: You gotta paint, you gotta you know, you gotta pain
- 14:40Speaker 2: a dramatic scene if people are gonna listen to the show.
- 14:44Speaker 2: We lost yesterday, Bro, we lost, and I was just
- 14:48Speaker 2: dropping some I was dropping some good stats and facts
- 14:50Speaker 2: on how like all the stuff that happened, and we're
- 14:53Speaker 2: still in that ball game.
- 14:54Speaker 7: I'm on the same page as you. But you just
- 14:57Speaker 7: made it sound like we moved to last place.
- 15:00Speaker 2: I don't think I did. I don't think I made it.
- 15:02Speaker 2: I think I made it seem like we were on it.
- 15:06Speaker 2: We dropped the game. I wouldn't lost the game. I
- 15:09Speaker 2: didn't say. I didn't say, Hey, the boys are down bad.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Right now, Man, we lost the game yesterday. I didn't
- 15:13Speaker 2: say we're down bad.
- 15:14Speaker 7: We'll check the tape. We'll check the tape, We'll.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Check the date we got the tape. Everybody in the
- 15:19Speaker 2: joining the chat right now, like check the tape for
- 15:23Speaker 2: a Man of the People segment, Jack, how are you feeling.
- 15:29Speaker 7: It is tough loss.
- 15:31Speaker 4: I think we just two steps for one set back,
- 15:35Speaker 4: always putting ourselves in this position of such an ugly game,
- 15:39Speaker 4: ugly weather. Tannehill obviously is probably his worst game as
- 15:43Speaker 4: a Titan, and I'm not I'm not off the Taniel
- 15:46Speaker 4: train at all. You know, people have bad games. Four
- 15:49Speaker 4: picks stuff, Chester Rogers. That drop home was so big.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Oh that was crucial. Man. I feel for him too,
- 15:57Speaker 2: because you know, like he's trying to like hit the
- 15:59Speaker 2: do like you're trying not to allow the punt team
- 16:03Speaker 2: to catch it to make a good play on the ball.
- 16:05Speaker 2: He's trying to hit him and knock him out of
- 16:07Speaker 2: the way like everybody does.
- 16:09Speaker 4: Just a bad balance. I guess, bad field placement for himself.
- 16:12Speaker 4: But what happens. I can't say that Downing was calling
- 16:18Speaker 4: the best plays either. I think it was just combined loss.
- 16:21Speaker 2: I put most of the blaying on myself.
- 16:23Speaker 4: I was driving back from a wedding and wasn't able
- 16:26Speaker 4: to attend the game, so I think it really comes
- 16:28Speaker 4: down on me. So I'll take this l for the city,
- 16:33Speaker 4: put it on my back. We have a huge game,
- 16:36Speaker 4: probably the biggest game of our season. I don't know though,
- 16:40Speaker 4: that forty nine Ers game is getting more and more interesting.
- 16:42Speaker 7: Yeah, forty nine Ers are looking.
- 16:44Speaker 4: Dangerous, so were the Colts. We want to speak on
- 16:50Speaker 4: what we want to talk about earlier.
- 16:52Speaker 2: No, I just want you to finish your thought on
- 16:54Speaker 2: just let's keep Titans fer Yeah big, because you're displaying
- 16:58Speaker 2: you're displaying a lot of courage, taking own ship and
- 17:00Speaker 2: accountability for this loss. And I just I don't want
- 17:02Speaker 2: you to waiver off that right now.
- 17:04Speaker 4: You know, we have Garrett, we have Mere number one,
- 17:08Speaker 4: so we got to play it from all angles.
- 17:10Speaker 2: You guys are passionate.
- 17:11Speaker 4: Man.
- 17:12Speaker 7: Yeah, the King of the Hill that I died.
- 17:16Speaker 4: I think everyone it was disappointing, but photo, I don't
- 17:21Speaker 4: think anyone was overly shocked that we took a loss
- 17:26Speaker 4: to currently the worst.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Team in the Trap Game.
- 17:30Speaker 8: We are the.
- 17:30Speaker 4: Trap Game victims.
- 17:32Speaker 2: We gave them the year.
- 17:34Speaker 4: And and it hurts even worse. Uh, the whole Keyshawn
- 17:38Speaker 4: Johnson thing. I know, he was just chilling having a
- 17:42Speaker 4: drink last night, just just eating it up.
- 17:45Speaker 2: So it's fair to say he moved in a little
- 17:47Speaker 2: bit in your head.
- 17:48Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he like I'm paying him, like.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Said, he just said, they're not a real eight and
- 17:54Speaker 2: two teams two.
- 17:55Speaker 8: Team and like.
- 17:58Speaker 9: And then.
- 18:03Speaker 5: But how much is like and there's a question for
- 18:05Speaker 5: you and and and will I guess too because like you.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Wait not raiders Keishaw and Johnson.
- 18:13Speaker 7: He played for the Jets.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Maybe maybe maybe he couldn't do his job there on
- 18:20Speaker 2: the Bucks.
- 18:24Speaker 5: Is it isn't a loss like this sometimes a good
- 18:26Speaker 5: thing too, because you go on this streak where you
- 18:29Speaker 5: just you beat like the top teams in the NFL,
- 18:32Speaker 5: and maybe you're filling yourself a little bit.
- 18:34Speaker 8: Maybe I'm not saying.
- 18:34Speaker 5: That's what the Titans did, but it's always kind of
- 18:37Speaker 5: nice to just get like a hard rehit, the hard reset.
- 18:39Speaker 5: It's like, hey, let's just refocus and just kind of
- 18:43Speaker 5: move forward instead of just going on this massive renting
- 18:45Speaker 5: streak and burning out at the end.
- 18:47Speaker 7: I think they're always good for you to have one.
- 18:50Speaker 7: I mean, obviously we needed the first game of the year.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean they were on a heater. It's
- 18:57Speaker 2: not like I don't feel like the Titans were in
- 19:00Speaker 2: a spot to where they're feeling themselves at all because
- 19:02Speaker 2: they've been without Derrick Henry and they're trying to find
- 19:04Speaker 2: it out. You know, us as fans saying trying finding
- 19:07Speaker 2: an identity on offense without Derrick Henry. But they they've
- 19:10Speaker 2: been facing adversity all year long, like running back yesterday
- 19:14Speaker 2: right right, and knowing Ray like you truly never feel
- 19:17Speaker 2: like you're winning, you know what I mean. He always
- 19:19Speaker 2: does a good job of keeping everybody level headed. He
- 19:21Speaker 2: shows a horse video to put the you know, show
- 19:24Speaker 2: that horses have these narrow blinders on. And the league
- 19:27Speaker 2: is built for eight and eight. Well at the time,
- 19:29Speaker 2: now it's built for you know, eight, nine, eight, nine
- 19:33Speaker 2: and eight whichever one. But you know who's gonna come
- 19:36Speaker 2: out at the end. It's all about how you do
- 19:38Speaker 2: in November, December, stuff like that. So I guess it
- 19:43Speaker 2: just depends. I know, if I know, if we're in
- 19:46Speaker 2: that position, I happen to be on the team. It's
- 19:48Speaker 2: not like we're sitting there feeling like we're the best
- 19:50Speaker 2: team in the league. We're feeling good that we can
- 19:52Speaker 2: win in a lot of different ways. With eighty something
- 19:54Speaker 2: injuries that they've had, they've dealt with a lot of shits,
- 19:57Speaker 2: So it's not like they're a team that's sitting there
- 19:59Speaker 2: hanging their ha on the same thing every week. They're
- 20:01Speaker 2: finding different ways to win all the time. But obviously
- 20:04Speaker 2: it's always interesting. It's it's just fascinating. Sing the Twitter
- 20:08Speaker 2: world burn after the Titans lose a game because it's
- 20:12Speaker 2: like the Open seventeen simulation begins, you know what I mean?
- 20:16Speaker 2: I saw buck buck rising how to post what what
- 20:19Speaker 2: loss feels worse? The Texans are the Jets, and people
- 20:23Speaker 2: were saying the Texans and I'm like, what are you
- 20:25Speaker 2: talking about? Everyone was ready to cut off everyone's head
- 20:29Speaker 2: after the Jets game and losing to the Jets. But
- 20:33Speaker 2: it's always interesting, dude. The Boys are gonna bounce back.
- 20:35Speaker 2: They do have a tough game coming up with the Patriots.
- 20:37Speaker 2: The Patriots are looking good.
- 20:43Speaker 7: Quickly forgotten.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Oh it always is. Once you win, winning, winning cures everything.
- 20:50Speaker 2: You're back on track. That's the That's the big thing too.
- 20:54Speaker 2: They're they're playing a good team. Yeah right, instead of
- 20:59Speaker 2: dropping too before going into a buy. It's definitely a
- 21:02Speaker 2: different feeling. But yeah, dude, I was gonna say something.
- 21:07Speaker 2: I forget what we were talking about.
- 21:09Speaker 6: You know, as a as a non football guy.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think, Alex being a non.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Football guy, how how are you a team that is
- 21:17Speaker 1: clearly a very good football team, and yet you play
- 21:20Speaker 1: to the level of your competition almost week in and
- 21:23Speaker 1: week out.
- 21:24Speaker 7: How does that happen?
- 21:25Speaker 10: Like, how do you rise the occasion against like the
- 21:29Speaker 10: better teams in the league and then you play against
- 21:31Speaker 10: the teams are bottom of the barrel and it's like
- 21:33Speaker 10: we play that that level too, Like, how does that happen?
- 21:36Speaker 7: Is that a culture thing?
- 21:37Speaker 2: Like what are they just missing?
- 21:38Speaker 7: Will Compton?
- 21:38Speaker 2: Like no well being being in that culture. It's definitely
- 21:41Speaker 2: not a culture thing. Well, number one, it's the NFL.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Literally everyone can be beat, dude, Like you see upsets
- 21:48Speaker 2: all the time in the NFL. I think if if
- 21:51Speaker 2: that was happening in college, I think that's that's way
- 21:54Speaker 2: more valid because they're kids like thinking like, oh, we
- 21:57Speaker 2: have a huge game this week, and then they're they're
- 21:59Speaker 2: sleeping on some team next week. In the NFL, you
- 22:01Speaker 2: never really have that feeling. Talking with some of the
- 22:04Speaker 2: boys last week, like no one had a feeling that
- 22:06Speaker 2: it was like, we have to take care of business
- 22:08Speaker 2: this week. Like you never feel comfortable in the NFL.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Like with an NFL schedule, if you're a losing team
- 22:14Speaker 2: and you're losing a lot of games, you look ahead
- 22:16Speaker 2: in all your games, and obviously you're a bad team,
- 22:18Speaker 2: so everybody you're looking at your schedule is good to you.
- 22:20Speaker 2: But even when you're winning in the fashion that the
- 22:23Speaker 2: Boys were winning in, they knew they were playing like
- 22:25Speaker 2: complimentary football. The defense was playing well against the Rams
- 22:28Speaker 2: like they know they have to. They can't just show
- 22:30Speaker 2: up and win games like they very much know that.
- 22:32Speaker 2: So I don't you say that? And that's it's interesting
- 22:36Speaker 2: because I was listening to part of my take shout
- 22:38Speaker 2: out the Boys are part of my take earlier, but
- 22:39Speaker 2: they were saying in the money lines anytime that they
- 22:44Speaker 2: are they've lost fourteen out of seventeen games when they're
- 22:48Speaker 2: playing against an underdog, like when the Titans aren't an underdog.
- 22:52Speaker 2: So it's interesting you bring that up. Just speaking from
- 22:55Speaker 2: my own experience. It's not like I sit there and
- 22:58Speaker 2: the Tech we're about to play the one in eight
- 23:00Speaker 2: Texans and I think, oh, we got this one in
- 23:01Speaker 2: the bag. And again, with all this stuff we know
- 23:03Speaker 2: about the Titans and what their year has been like
- 23:06Speaker 2: the Boys, definitely you're not comfortable going in really in
- 23:09Speaker 2: any game because again you're still trying to figure stuff
- 23:12Speaker 2: out offensively, without Derek, you got so many new bodies
- 23:17Speaker 2: coming in. I mean, it's like a merry go round
- 23:19Speaker 2: in there right now. Do they have the record yet?
- 23:22Speaker 4: I want to say we were four players last week
- 23:24Speaker 4: he was eighty and the records eighty four, and I
- 23:26Speaker 4: think so.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Yeah. So what we're talking about is the record in
- 23:31Speaker 2: the NFL is eighty four injuries, right, eighty four different
- 23:37Speaker 2: players on the fifty three man roster throughout the season,
- 23:40Speaker 2: and the Titans are currently sitting at we believe it's
- 23:42Speaker 2: eighty one now after this last week. But with all
- 23:45Speaker 2: this stuff going on, dude, like you're never feeling comfortable.
- 23:49Speaker 7: Yesterday it was a game that with the weather, you
- 23:52Speaker 7: would like to win.
- 23:52Speaker 2: On the ground for sure.
- 23:56Speaker 5: So much.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
- 23:58Speaker 4: I thought Foreman was running the ball and then all
- 24:00Speaker 4: of a sudden it was like we were.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Where did he go? I don't know. We were driving,
- 24:09Speaker 2: we were driving back, so I was trying to I
- 24:11Speaker 2: was trying to keep up with the game on YouTube TV,
- 24:13Speaker 2: like in the Spotty drive back Car. No, you just
- 24:17Speaker 2: don't get the full effect. But uh, it was tough. Yeah, yeah,
- 24:23Speaker 2: I'm trying to drive and show you sorodo. No, I
- 24:27Speaker 2: made my pregnant wife drive. We got I drove until
- 24:29Speaker 2: it was noon. We hit a gas station. I asked him, hey, baby,
- 24:33Speaker 2: you mind taking the wheel? She drove after throwing up
- 24:36Speaker 2: because of you know, sickness, pregnancy sickness.
- 24:40Speaker 7: I got work, I got a game.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Hey, sweet, if you don't mind, I gotta work right now.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Just watching the game, damn, get on Twitter. Uh watching
- 24:49Speaker 2: the football team one twenty seven to twenty one. Shots
- 24:51Speaker 2: out to the boys, Hail to the boys. That's the
- 24:53Speaker 2: one when we have it's crazy, you know, we don't
- 24:55Speaker 2: want to clout Jack, Jack and Garrett are just down
- 24:59Speaker 2: bad dude. He said, yeah, they won, they won. Thank god.
- 25:06Speaker 2: They were the only team I almost got swept. But
- 25:08Speaker 2: I would have rode on the North County Raiders, the
- 25:10Speaker 2: high school team that was always in my back pocket.
- 25:13Speaker 2: And the fact that the Washington football team won and
- 25:16Speaker 2: Cam Newton's back on the Panthers, and I was looking
- 25:19Speaker 2: at and I was looking at that photo. I was like, man, oh,
- 25:22Speaker 2: this joke is gonna be hilarious. The Raiders loss of
- 25:25Speaker 2: the Bengals. I don't know what's going on. We don't
- 25:28Speaker 2: get there again. I only have YouTube TV, and we
- 25:30Speaker 2: don't get there their games. So I don't really know
- 25:33Speaker 2: what's happening with the boys in Vegas. I know people
- 25:36Speaker 2: are losing their minds because it seems like the Raiders
- 25:39Speaker 2: always fall apart in the middle of the year. It
- 25:41Speaker 2: happened when I was there. I don't really know what
- 25:43Speaker 2: happened before me, but I hated it for him, dud,
- 25:46Speaker 2: because they got a lot of good dudes on that team.
- 25:48Speaker 2: They got a good they got a good head coach, right,
- 25:50Speaker 2: I was gonna say right now. They they've always said,
- 25:53Speaker 2: in my eyes, a good staff outside of you guys
- 25:55Speaker 2: know who that I talked about last year on the podcast,
- 26:00Speaker 2: that they had a lot of good dudes on that team.
- 26:02Speaker 2: So I don't really know what's happening in Vegas. Maybe
- 26:06Speaker 2: it's the Vegas Yeah, maybe it's the Vegas stuff. They
- 26:09Speaker 2: lost both their first round picks this year, didn't they
- 26:12Speaker 2: did they have two first round picks this year or
- 26:16Speaker 2: they've lost both of their they've lost their last two
- 26:18Speaker 2: first round picks because it was rugs and in that corner,
- 26:22Speaker 2: the rugs on that d Uy good night, dude, he's
- 26:26Speaker 2: looking at like what twenty years twenty five? Yeah, blash,
- 26:30Speaker 2: you no more than me. And then the other dude
- 26:34Speaker 2: that corner arguing with some troll on Instagram pointing a
- 26:37Speaker 2: gun saying like I'll kill you, like drop your addy?
- 26:41Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, what are we doing? Like what are we
- 26:45Speaker 2: trying to prove?
- 26:49Speaker 7: I don't know if we need to go down that road.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well it's not like you can get canceled
- 26:54Speaker 2: off talking about anything like that. Yeah, Like, don't point
- 27:02Speaker 2: a gun at your phone your selfie camera threatening a
- 27:05Speaker 2: dude's life. Yeah, Nebraska lost to Wisconsin as expected? Why
- 27:15Speaker 2: is that as expected?
- 27:17Speaker 7: Because you played one three games?
- 27:19Speaker 2: Can the mic pick h that up? Here we go?
- 27:24Speaker 2: Why is that as expected?
- 27:28Speaker 7: Wisconsin was the favorite for sure?
- 27:30Speaker 2: Why why would Nebraska beat Wisconsin? They haven't beat anybody,
- 27:36Speaker 2: thank you, Jack. They've almost beat a lot of teams.
- 27:41Speaker 2: You can now, there's data coming out, there's statistics coming out.
- 27:45Speaker 2: You guys are fucking laughing. We are though. We are
- 27:49Speaker 2: the best three win team that the sport has ever seen.
- 27:52Speaker 7: I did see that that tweet. I'm just saying, nobody
- 27:56Speaker 7: was expectings.
- 27:58Speaker 2: No one was expecting, but people have been following Nebraska
- 28:00Speaker 2: all you're long, like us, I think it's bullshit that
- 28:03Speaker 2: you're saying that was expected, like Nebraska's played up every
- 28:07Speaker 2: time they've played the top ten team and the thing,
- 28:10Speaker 2: so what they should have won? And hey, I know
- 28:14Speaker 2: I sound like a broken fucking record, dude, but they
- 28:16Speaker 2: should have. They should have at least been Oh no,
- 28:19Speaker 2: we just almost had a light fall down. The lights
- 28:24Speaker 2: just went.
- 28:24Speaker 7: Out, a falling off, quitch shaking.
- 28:27Speaker 2: The bus again, I get worked out a camera and
- 28:32Speaker 2: spell back there the life went off. Well, okay, I'm
- 28:36Speaker 2: not gonna say we should have won the Wisconsin game,
- 28:38Speaker 2: but we should have had a chance at the end
- 28:41Speaker 2: of the game because that pass interference was bullshit and
- 28:44Speaker 2: you know it.
- 28:46Speaker 7: Did you guys see the game which one Wisconsin? Yeah,
- 28:50Speaker 7: I watched a little bit.
- 28:51Speaker 2: Did you watch that last play?
- 28:53Speaker 7: The score? Hight?
- 28:59Speaker 2: Sure we were driving in the last drive, you know,
- 29:04Speaker 2: because JP is trying to fire me up, He's trying
- 29:06Speaker 2: to dig a little bit. It was a classic twenty
- 29:09Speaker 2: twenty one Nebraska football. I will say I was cheering,
- 29:13Speaker 2: obviously for the Huskers, but then Wisconsin squad and you know,
- 29:16Speaker 2: the color como for a second realized we were we
- 29:20Speaker 2: were legitimately big head even tweentety two. We are the
- 29:24Speaker 2: best worst team in college football.
- 29:25Speaker 7: Did y'all have a bet on?
- 29:27Speaker 2: No, we just we texted a little bit beforehand and
- 29:30Speaker 2: he said, just remember we're still friends after this game.
- 29:36Speaker 2: But it's just nuts. It's just crazy to me, dude.
- 29:40Speaker 2: It's like, it's fun to say with the best three
- 29:44Speaker 2: team in the country, but we really just can't catch
- 29:48Speaker 2: a break. Can you uh your you are getting towards
- 29:52Speaker 2: the end? Can you go toward the end. It's literally
- 29:53Speaker 2: the last play of the game.
- 29:57Speaker 7: What do you think it is? Why are they not
- 29:59Speaker 7: finishing games?
- 30:01Speaker 2: Refs special?
- 30:04Speaker 3: It's that attitude is why they're not finishing games. That's
- 30:06Speaker 3: probably what was playing.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Shut up, JP, No, the players know that I'm gonna
- 30:11Speaker 2: down the hill for him. Ain't getting in your ear?
- 30:16Speaker 2: Ain't the rev.
- 30:21Speaker 7: Shut that cut it over to I.
- 30:23Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Special teams for sure. I don't
- 30:27Speaker 2: want to throw them under the bus, but special teams
- 30:29Speaker 2: for sure. We did have some defensive lapses, like on
- 30:35Speaker 2: these big runs. It was giving me, you know, it
- 30:38Speaker 2: was giving me the sweats thinking about our games versus
- 30:40Speaker 2: Wisconsin back in the day. And that's the problem too,
- 30:43Speaker 2: Like Wisconsin definitely owns a piece of my brain forever
- 30:47Speaker 2: because they've had so many rushing yards on us throughout
- 30:51Speaker 2: all the time. I want to say they had over
- 30:53Speaker 2: six hundred on us in the Big Ten championship games.
- 30:57Speaker 7: Who was running the rock?
- 30:59Speaker 2: Three different running backs, Melvin Gordon, James White, and Moni Ball,
- 31:08Speaker 2: just three studs, dude, and they had over six hundred.
- 31:15Speaker 2: The next year on us lost his mind. We were
- 31:18Speaker 2: up like seventeen nothing and and uh, Melvin Gordon hurdled somebody.
- 31:24Speaker 2: I forget who. I don't know if it was. No,
- 31:26Speaker 2: it wasn't me. I was I was, I was on Hey,
- 31:29Speaker 2: I was on Washington at this time. So yeah, they're
- 31:31Speaker 2: right there blost pause that. Yeah, I was in the league.
- 31:33Speaker 2: I was in I was in my hotel room. Melvin
- 31:35Speaker 2: Gordon came up to out the Washington ran me over
- 31:37Speaker 2: my hotel room. Dude, that's how bad it was. But
- 31:40Speaker 2: he hurdles, he hurdles our safety and takes to the
- 31:43Speaker 2: house and Boje is losing his mind on the sideline
- 31:45Speaker 2: and we're about to go in a halftime of seventeen seven.
- 31:47Speaker 2: So you know, keep your composure. Nah, not my man, coach,
- 31:53Speaker 2: bo Yeah, yeah, hold my clipboard. Yeah, but I don't know.
- 31:58Speaker 2: I know Scott was after the press, I was, He's like,
- 32:00Speaker 2: we need to stop. You know. It's like a mentality
- 32:02Speaker 2: of hoping you win the game, other than expecting to win,
- 32:04Speaker 2: which is hard to create when you're like, you know,
- 32:06Speaker 2: obviously behind the eight ball the last several years that
- 32:09Speaker 2: we've been they don't really know what winning is like.
- 32:12Speaker 2: But we just can't catch a fucking break. Here's here's
- 32:15Speaker 2: the p I by the.
- 32:16Speaker 7: Way, and one knows it sitting on the floor right there.
- 32:19Speaker 7: So he's waiting for a flag.
- 32:20Speaker 2: Right coming from a non football guy, Alex unbiased non football.
- 32:23Speaker 7: Guy because I'm not a football guy. But if I
- 32:25Speaker 7: was to look at this, that's what I say.

- 32:38Speaker 2: they actually slow it down. Look, ball wasn't even there.
- 32:48Speaker 2: You are, right, but to cheat, to cheat the boys
- 32:51Speaker 2: out of like an opportunity to win.
- 32:54Speaker 3: Frustrated, I'd also like to go on record saying I
- 32:56Speaker 3: do think Scott Frost is the man for the job.
- 32:58Speaker 2: I do think he's gonna try it. I like seeing
- 33:01Speaker 2: him ready to swing on the referee at the end
- 33:03Speaker 2: of the game. He was literally trying to get after him.
- 33:05Speaker 2: All who's the men in black looking dude too? Who
- 33:08Speaker 2: just stands there with the shades on and holds him back.
- 33:11Speaker 2: He's got like some bodyguard that sayes fully suited and
- 33:13Speaker 2: all black with black shades on too. Jeremiah, Yes, yeah, Jeremiah.
- 33:26Speaker 2: We played i With this week. Huge game. This is
- 33:27Speaker 2: a big rivalry. I actually would like to see us
- 33:29Speaker 2: break the greatest three win team of all time against Iowa.
- 33:35Speaker 2: This is a big game. We gotta get We gotta yeah,
- 33:38Speaker 2: we gotta get a bet going with George. We might
- 33:41Speaker 2: have to do a video the what we did last year,
- 33:43Speaker 2: although it would suck if we lost and I have
- 33:46Speaker 2: to do the video. Maybe I can find a different route.
- 33:49Speaker 2: If I lose, uh is I will rank seventeen. Yeah,
- 33:59Speaker 2: it'll be a close one.
- 34:01Speaker 7: Is it at home or is it away?
- 34:05Speaker 2: I think at home home. I'm sorry at Iowa, right,
- 34:08Speaker 2: Iowa pretty much home. It's Nebraska versus Iowa. Man, you
- 34:12Speaker 2: know what I was says for JP, You're gonna take
- 34:15Speaker 2: a guess. Idiots out wandering around. I know it's tough.
- 34:24Speaker 2: Nebraska and Iowa got a little thing going on. It's
- 34:26Speaker 2: like who has the best corn? Who have the best cattle?
- 34:30Speaker 7: What I said, Now, we got to come up with
- 34:31Speaker 7: something for Nebraska.
- 34:33Speaker 2: Just a long you are at home, We're at home.
- 34:38Speaker 2: I apologize for Alex. He put at Iowa on the screen,
- 34:42Speaker 2: didn't do his homework. South Carolina is doing well. I mean, yeah,
- 34:51Speaker 2: you guys, will go bowling.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Will came into the bus the other day and we
- 34:58Speaker 3: started to get into the argument and the first thing
- 35:00Speaker 3: he did.
- 35:02Speaker 7: That but it didn't work.
- 35:07Speaker 2: That's because j JP was mad. He missed out on
- 35:09Speaker 2: the argument with Darius. With Darius Rutger on who's better
- 35:11Speaker 2: out of South Carolina Nebraska. You can make the argument
- 35:15Speaker 2: a little more now because just because your guys record.
- 35:17Speaker 2: But I'll die on the hill that we're better in
- 35:19Speaker 2: South Carolina because you guys beat u an Auber team
- 35:22Speaker 2: that's not that good. You can oh we beat did
- 35:25Speaker 2: you guys beat Florida? Oh yeah, yeah? How's Florida doing?
- 35:31Speaker 2: Fired fired their coach and you're saying, oh, they they
- 35:37Speaker 2: almost beat Alabama. Alabama. Alabama's not looking that nice. They're
- 35:41Speaker 2: not looking like the Alabama that we know. That's what
- 35:45Speaker 2: I'm saying that's not like they're so your argument on, uh,
- 35:49Speaker 2: we beat Florida and Florida almost beat Alabama, it's pretty
- 35:52Speaker 2: much washed.
- 35:54Speaker 7: Those are two different Florida teams too. So then your
- 35:58Speaker 7: season is.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Look how he's almost won the games all of like,
- 36:03Speaker 2: all of our games except for one two. You said
- 36:10Speaker 2: Illinois and I go back and forth on Illinois. I
- 36:12Speaker 2: in this argument Illinois is back and that we should
- 36:14Speaker 2: have won that game. What point, though, do we.
- 36:16Speaker 3: Look at the Big Ten and say, if Nebraska is
- 36:18Speaker 3: competing with all of these teams, are Wisconsin really that
- 36:22Speaker 3: good it was?
- 36:23Speaker 7: Is Michigan really that good?
- 36:24Speaker 2: Is Michigan State really that.
- 36:25Speaker 7: Michigan State's obviously not the Nebraska.
- 36:27Speaker 2: I guess we'll see in bull season when it's Big
- 36:29Speaker 2: ten versus SEC. They should always do that always. We'll
- 36:34Speaker 2: see because there'll be some games where they're where they're
- 36:36Speaker 2: mixed up, because again, a one point victory over Vanderbilt
- 36:40Speaker 2: is nothing to stand on the hill for.
- 36:42Speaker 7: I hope we play a Big ten team in the bolseason.
- 36:44Speaker 7: We'll be all but hopefully.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Yeah, won't be us. We're not going both. We'll be
- 36:48Speaker 2: in winter conditioning. Hey, we'll be in winter conditioned by

- 58:03Speaker 2: My face was inside. Oh let's just let's just let's
- 58:05Speaker 2: let's talk about the fight. Let's just get it. Yeah,
- 58:07Speaker 2: let's be good, cat bag. Yeah no, my face was.
- 58:09Speaker 13: Uh so, I got a couple sets of stitches, but
- 58:11Speaker 13: he took them out here here and I had actually
- 58:14Speaker 13: had four inside my lip.
- 58:16Speaker 2: But after eating and talking, do you have a photo
- 58:18Speaker 2: of it? Did you take a photo? I got a
- 58:20Speaker 2: video show you, We'll have to have something that Bloss
- 58:22Speaker 2: can put up with. As the YouTube show goes on,
- 58:25Speaker 2: you just.
- 58:25Speaker 13: Gotta blur out the doctor's name tag because Brie was like,
- 58:28Speaker 13: you probably shouldn't have leaked at the TMZ.
- 58:31Speaker 2: Yeah, Like whatever, dude, how how?
- 58:35Speaker 3: How?
- 58:35Speaker 2: How was the first I don't know how long did
- 58:38Speaker 2: it last? First forty eight hours post fight when the
- 58:41Speaker 2: adrenaline wears off and you start to feel everything that
- 58:44Speaker 2: happened in the fight.
- 58:44Speaker 13: Yeah, so I saw I was with Justin Gatgee in
- 58:48Speaker 13: the hospital. We wrote in simultaneous motorcade ambulances from I've
- 58:52Speaker 13: only ridden in two ambulances of my entire life. Both
- 58:55Speaker 13: were from Madison Square Garden to Bellevue High School or
- 58:58Speaker 13: hospital and uh, New York City. It was really really painful.
- 59:04Speaker 13: So my right foot, so Justin Geatesy was limping. So
- 59:07Speaker 13: Justin get you the best leg kicker in the game
- 59:09Speaker 13: was went to the hospital because of my leg kicks,
- 59:11Speaker 13: which was kind of a nice little hat tip to myself.
- 59:14Speaker 2: Yeah, a big leg kick guy, you know, not known
- 59:17Speaker 2: for my leg kicks. That was good.
- 59:18Speaker 13: But because of that, the reason I don't throw leg
- 59:21Speaker 13: kicks is because I always hurt myself more than I
- 59:23Speaker 13: actually hurt my opponent, because if you miss a leg
- 59:25Speaker 13: kick just by a quarter of an inch, break a toe,
- 59:28Speaker 13: break a foot, jack's up the whole fight.
- 59:30Speaker 2: So my pretty much like Connor exactly.
- 59:32Speaker 13: So my right foot is still swollen, so I got
- 59:35Speaker 13: to select my shoes and loosen them up a little bit.
- 59:39Speaker 13: My left leg was torn up from his leg kicks,
- 59:42Speaker 13: got it them or on my knee, still waiting for
- 59:43Speaker 13: results on that and stuff. Uh, both hands were swollen
- 59:46Speaker 13: his heck and then yeah, my face and then I
- 59:49Speaker 13: got I don't know if I got kicked in the
- 59:50Speaker 13: rib or something. The most pain, one of the top
- 59:54Speaker 13: five most pains I've ever had in my life. There's
- 59:55Speaker 13: like a I might have separated my sternum or something,
- 59:58Speaker 13: but got an X ray it checked out.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: But yeah, man, it was Uh it was rough. You
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: guys are battling, bro battling.
- 1:00:06Speaker 13: Yeah, so the stitches of my lip kind of came
- 1:00:08Speaker 13: out after like two days, because.
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: How long is that residual pain? Kind of last? This
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: is when did you? It was?
- 1:00:13Speaker 13: Was?
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: How far out are we from the fight? Ten ten days?
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: Ten days? Yeah, how long is this residual pain kind
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: of last Is it still going on right now out here? Yeah?
- 1:00:20Speaker 13: So I wake up every morning like hobbling around like
- 1:00:22Speaker 13: a nine year old and then yeah, my rib hands
- 1:00:26Speaker 13: are still swollen. Just just body inflammation and when you
- 1:00:29Speaker 13: put your body through you probably have experienced it through
- 1:00:32Speaker 13: certain really hard games. You're like, okay, this one, this
- 1:00:34Speaker 13: one was a rough one right where you're just like
- 1:00:38Speaker 13: full body inflammation, you know, heavy, And then of course
- 1:00:42Speaker 13: I go from one fifty something six to almost one ninety.
- 1:00:46Speaker 13: So all the salt that I've reintroduced into my system, food,
- 1:00:50Speaker 13: a couple of alcoholic beverages, a couple of adult beverages,
- 1:00:54Speaker 13: my body was just like full, big swollen, you know.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: Yeah, do you feel like that? Does that kind of
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: take a toll on your body? Because as much as
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: we like play games and kind of goes through the
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: whole car wreck situation of playing football, like we don't
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: have to cut weight, Like you walk around, what are
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: you right now? It was one eighty eight this morning
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: and you fought at one fifty six? Yeah, So does
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: that kind of take a toll on your body or
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: does that kind of play into I guess, like bone
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: damage or cause you're you're you're cutting thirty pounds.
- 1:01:23Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean obviously I think it does. You know,
- 1:01:25Speaker 13: it's kind of one of those things where you just
- 1:01:27Speaker 13: like you. I've gotten so used to it. I was
- 1:01:29Speaker 13: telling you because obviously we have the connection with your brother,
- 1:01:32Speaker 13: and we're talking about wrestling, and you're kind of an
- 1:01:33Speaker 13: honorary wrestler.
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a I got slight color. My brother Eric,
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: I went to State, went to stay in my junior
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: high school. My brother Eric's.
- 1:01:41Speaker 13: Football player, but like all my wrestling buddies loved him
- 1:01:44Speaker 13: and he was like kind of an honorary wrestler. So like,
- 1:01:46Speaker 13: I look at you like that as well. So we're
- 1:01:48Speaker 13: kind of talking about wrestling. We're at breakfast, and I
- 1:01:50Speaker 13: was like, Yeah, since i was sixteen or seventeen years old,
- 1:01:53Speaker 13: I've wrestled, or I've made one hundred and fifty something
- 1:01:56Speaker 13: bound weight class one fifty two in high school, one
- 1:01:59Speaker 13: fifty seven college, now one fifty five in fighting. And
- 1:02:02Speaker 13: now it's been twenty one years, twenty twenty nineteen, nineteen years,
- 1:02:06Speaker 13: or I've been staying in the one fifties, and my
- 1:02:08Speaker 13: body has just progressively gotten bigger and bigger. Like you alluded,
- 1:02:11Speaker 13: to kind of bone density. You can only pound the
- 1:02:14Speaker 13: pavement so much before your body your bones get thicker, denser.
- 1:02:19Speaker 13: When I do a DEXA scan my performance coach down
- 1:02:22Speaker 13: in Florida was like, dude, you got some of the
- 1:02:24Speaker 13: densest bones I've ever seen in my entire life, which
- 1:02:26Speaker 13: is great because I don't I don't break them, you know,
- 1:02:29Speaker 13: I got X rays and stuff. And by why free
- 1:02:32Speaker 13: is the doctor's He's like, yeah, your foot might be broken,
- 1:02:34Speaker 13: your leg might be broken. Like it doesn't really look good.
- 1:02:37Speaker 13: Center attacks Like, hey, babe, iron man chandlers don't break bones, right.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: Which is not true.
- 1:02:43Speaker 13: I've had a couple, but for the most part, which
- 1:02:45Speaker 13: is false, it's absolutely false. But for the most part,
- 1:02:49Speaker 13: you know, I've just been very blessed with a durable body.
- 1:02:52Speaker 13: But like a Chevy Silverado, like a Chevy Silverado, you know,
- 1:02:56Speaker 13: like a rock. Yeah, you know, it's kind of what
- 1:02:58Speaker 13: what I've always said, That's what I've always settled the bus.
- 1:03:03Speaker 13: But you know, it just getting thicker and just denser,
- 1:03:06Speaker 13: you know, So it's not it's not fun making weaight.
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: I hate the one.
- 1:03:10Speaker 13: I hate the one sixties, let alone the one fifties.
- 1:03:12Speaker 13: The one fifties are a blur. When I get down there,
- 1:03:14Speaker 13: it's just not fun.
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: Bro, do you get don't you get sick of it?
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: Like you said? You said twenty twenty something years and
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: I as little as I dabbled in the wrestling world.
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: I watch it happen with my brother, and I love
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: the sport of wrestling, so I enjoy I see what
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: happens when these guys cut weight. You've been doing it
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: for twenty one years, like, do you ever just get
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: fucking sick of it?
- 1:03:37Speaker 13: And the well, the funny thing is, right, the law
- 1:03:39Speaker 13: of just averages or whatever it is, as you do
- 1:03:43Speaker 13: something more and more, it should get easier, right, you
- 1:03:46Speaker 13: should mentally, physically, spiritually, whatever, it should get easier because
- 1:03:49Speaker 13: I've done it so many times. But the problem is
- 1:03:52Speaker 13: your body's getting bigger as you do it more and
- 1:03:55Speaker 13: more and more. As I grow into it, you know,
- 1:03:58Speaker 13: I was. We're talking about fourteen years old starting and
- 1:04:00Speaker 13: then now thirty five years old.
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: It's it.
- 1:04:04Speaker 13: It becomes something where you're just like, you know, you
- 1:04:06Speaker 13: have to do it, and it never gets easier. I
- 1:04:09Speaker 13: want it to get easier. I'm always extremely disciplined. I
- 1:04:12Speaker 13: just I have to get even more the things I
- 1:04:14Speaker 13: used to be able to get away with when I
- 1:04:15Speaker 13: first started fighting.
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: I can't get away with it.
- 1:04:18Speaker 13: It's ten weeks of my megafit meals, you see me,
- 1:04:21Speaker 13: like it's a meal, it's you know, it comes frozen,
- 1:04:24Speaker 13: and then I thought it out and then I throw
- 1:04:25Speaker 13: it in a skillet, chicken, broccoli, ground beef, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, turkey,
- 1:04:31Speaker 13: and then some protein shakes, some BCA's and do that
- 1:04:35Speaker 13: for ten weeks straight. And it's like, that's why we
- 1:04:37Speaker 13: had a nice, big breakfast whatever you got he ordered
- 1:04:40Speaker 13: for me, Like what do you get here? He's like,
- 1:04:41Speaker 13: there's mistake into this and that ad making, no alvocado,
- 1:04:44Speaker 13: no cheese. I'm like, ay, let's go so bro.
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it's it's it seems like that stuff
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: gets harder to do, the monotony of the routine and
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: everything else. And I guess I say that just because
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: like playing football for so long, like each year you
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: just enter more you know, we can call it what
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: it is. More money comes into the equation. You know,
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: you have you have kind of a better lifestyle and
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: everything else. It's like it seems like it would get harder. Yeah,
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: and I assume I assume it's the same thing even
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: for more so for you guys, because you have to
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: go ten weeks of this strict I admire the fuck
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: out of it. I mean, it's definitely a mentality you
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: appreciate and know it's necessary and something you love to
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: do because it keeps you, you know, as Goggins will say,
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: it keeps you hard, like keeps you motivated. But at
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: some point, like you gotta get over that, right, you
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: gotta be like, man, I'm fucking yeah.
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: Well.
- 1:05:40Speaker 13: The funny thing is I think about, like, you know,
- 1:05:42Speaker 13: forty year old me. I think about me a couple
- 1:05:44Speaker 13: of years from now when I'm retired, and I'm like,
- 1:05:46Speaker 13: maybe I'm wanna miss this. Maybe I'm a miss cutting weight,
- 1:05:48Speaker 13: you know, but probably not.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: But you know, I guess, guys, I'm saying the extreme
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: of thirty something pounds to where it's like, why don't
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: you sit there and be like, all right, let's fight it,
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: Like let's just fight at one seventy or like I
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: I've thought about that for years.
- 1:06:02Speaker 13: I'm like, dude, if we're if we're not fighting for
- 1:06:04Speaker 13: a title and we're both one hundred and fifty five pounders.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: Why do we cut the one fifty five?
- 1:06:07Speaker 13: Why don't we just fight each other one seventy We're
- 1:06:09Speaker 13: both gonna be the same weight anyway, it doesn't matter,
- 1:06:12Speaker 13: you know, you're just you're just basically negating the last
- 1:06:14Speaker 13: ten fifteen pounds of cutting water weight. But yeah, I
- 1:06:17Speaker 13: mean sometimes it's like I kind of like that, like
- 1:06:20Speaker 13: you talk about Goggins, like stay hard, Like I do
- 1:06:22Speaker 13: love that. I am literally one percent of one percent
- 1:06:26Speaker 13: of one percent of people in the entire world that
- 1:06:29Speaker 13: have to do what I do. So there's a certain
- 1:06:31Speaker 13: amount of pride that comes with it. There's a certain
- 1:06:33Speaker 13: amount of confidence, Like I've weighed in hundreds of times,
- 1:06:37Speaker 13: never once have missed weight, never once pulled out of
- 1:06:39Speaker 13: a fight, never once. Never once didn't say what I
- 1:06:42Speaker 13: was going to do. You know, we weren't signing contracts
- 1:06:44Speaker 13: in high school or college for you know, making weight
- 1:06:47Speaker 13: and wrestling matches and mixed martial arts as a profession.
- 1:06:50Speaker 13: So of course you're signing the contract saying I'm gonna
- 1:06:52Speaker 13: make this contract to weight on this date and fight
- 1:06:54Speaker 13: this guy at this many rounds. So it's nice to
- 1:06:57Speaker 13: be a man of your word, you know, it's nice
- 1:06:59Speaker 13: to know. It's nice to know that everyone around you
- 1:07:02Speaker 13: looks at you as the guy who is so reliable
- 1:07:05Speaker 13: that no matter what, you're gonna make weight even when
- 1:07:08Speaker 13: I have a better leg to stand on than a
- 1:07:11Speaker 13: lot of people. Because I when I am one hundred
- 1:07:13Speaker 13: and ninety pounds, I'm still less than ten percent body fat.
- 1:07:16Speaker 13: I'm not one of these guys who gets big and fat.
- 1:07:20Speaker 13: So when I'm heavy, I'm heavy because I'm dense, not
- 1:07:22Speaker 13: because I'm that, you know, chunky. But it's, uh, it's
- 1:07:26Speaker 13: not fun, man.
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: Is that more like? Is that more like the thought
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: that you just have your you have the best chance
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: fighting in the one fifties because I guess, I guess
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: if you're if you're sitting there and you're like, you know,
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: I could do just as well fighting up a little
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: bit more or not cutting all this weight. At what
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: point does do strategically you sit down and think, I
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: don't need to do all of this just to get
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: down to a weight that's taking a little bit more
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: of a toll on my body. Now, being older, being
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: in this game so long, like you said, a couple
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: of decades, now, this cutting weight game to where you're
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: just like, all right, let's strategically like make a better decision. Yeah,
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: maybe you have.
- 1:08:06Speaker 13: Your odds are better being that light all the time
- 1:08:08Speaker 13: they are. And I think part of it too is
- 1:08:10Speaker 13: you're just like, well, you know what you can do,
- 1:08:12Speaker 13: and you trust yourself to be able to do it.
- 1:08:13Speaker 13: I know I'll never ever not make one fifty five
- 1:08:16Speaker 13: unless my body literally shuts down, I pass out and
- 1:08:18Speaker 13: end up in a hospital bed. It's the only way
- 1:08:20Speaker 13: I'm which it never really gets to that, but you know,
- 1:08:23Speaker 13: that's the only way that I don't make weight. And
- 1:08:25Speaker 13: I think, unfortunately for when it comes to weight classes,
- 1:08:28Speaker 13: I'm big enough, fast enough, strong enough, explosive enough, powerful
- 1:08:32Speaker 13: enough to fight one seveny to match those guys skill
- 1:08:35Speaker 13: for skill, strength for strength, size for size. You just
- 1:08:38Speaker 13: get more into a heyth game, you know, like those
- 1:08:42Speaker 13: guys are sitting at like most of them are sitting
- 1:08:44Speaker 13: around six foot six foot one, So you get into
- 1:08:47Speaker 13: the range the distance in the striking, the length of
- 1:08:51Speaker 13: the body, being able to manipulate and move pick up,
- 1:08:53Speaker 13: put down the body. So one p fifty five is
- 1:08:57Speaker 13: my weight class. I'm a I'm a good I'm a
- 1:09:00Speaker 13: good I think body, I think I'm a good body
- 1:09:03Speaker 13: size for one fifty five. I'm just a little bit
- 1:09:06Speaker 13: heavier than most of the guys that I'm I mean,
- 1:09:08Speaker 13: justin Gates, you guarantee you weighs one seventy five, one
- 1:09:11Speaker 13: seventy seven. You know, on seventy seven, pory A probably
- 1:09:16Speaker 13: might get close to I think Pori gets close to
- 1:09:18Speaker 13: one ninety. But you know, it's just your ability to
- 1:09:22Speaker 13: make the weight. I mean, I got a lot of
- 1:09:23Speaker 13: muscle mass, so I can suck.
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: The water out. Yeah, you're like a like a you're
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: like a stout pit bull. Thank you, I'll take that. Oh,
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: I would say that right, stout body got the muscle
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: around it, the muscle around his head and stuff like that. Compact.
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: Oh does it ever take it more of a toll
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: on your body the older you get cutting all that weight, Like,
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: what's the situation or some stories you can tell us
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: to where as you've gotten older, how it might have
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: changed cutting thirty pounds? How old are you now thirty
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: five being thirty five compared to obviously when you're younger, Like,
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: like you said, you can get away with a lot
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: more Like does your body ever just say, hey, how
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: fucking do this? To me and this like I'm I'm
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: disagreeing with this.
- 1:10:03Speaker 13: And pretty much every time it disagrees with it. But
- 1:10:05Speaker 13: you find but but you find you just you just
- 1:10:09Speaker 13: kind of make make decisions on the fly. You know,
- 1:10:11Speaker 13: you're manipulating water. You know, we do a water load,
- 1:10:14Speaker 13: so I load two and a half gallons, two gallons,
- 1:10:16Speaker 13: one gallon, one and a half gallon or one and
- 1:10:18Speaker 13: a half one gallon.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: As you're cutting weight.
- 1:10:20Speaker 13: Yeah, so you kind of hyper saturate your body, so
- 1:10:22Speaker 13: all your cells are hyper hypersaturated, which which induces your body.
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: To pee out more, sweat more, and then.
- 1:10:32Speaker 13: So you know, water manipulate and then and then each
- 1:10:36Speaker 13: fight week, even though it sounds like it's always the same,
- 1:10:38Speaker 13: just like kind of your game day preparations or you're
- 1:10:40Speaker 13: going to a different city, there's always something that's a
- 1:10:42Speaker 13: little bit different about every single situation, even though it
- 1:10:45Speaker 13: is always the same. Sometimes you get in six days
- 1:10:48Speaker 13: before the fight. Sometimes you get in four days before
- 1:10:50Speaker 13: the fight. Sometimes you fly to Abu Dhabi, Like I
- 1:10:51Speaker 13: flew to Abu Dhabi and made weight and my flight
- 1:10:54Speaker 13: my flight got canceled, so we actually got there a
- 1:10:56Speaker 13: day and a half later. When we were supposed to,
- 1:10:58Speaker 13: which threw everything off. That was one of the hardest
- 1:11:00Speaker 13: weight cuts in my life from my UFC debut. So
- 1:11:05Speaker 13: I went to IBW twice actually, which is so that's
- 1:11:07Speaker 13: a sixteen hour flight. Everyone knows you're you're holding onto
- 1:11:11Speaker 13: a lot more water weight, a little bit more flamed,
- 1:11:13Speaker 13: a little more swollen after you get off of a flight,
- 1:11:15Speaker 13: So you're dealing with that. Then you're dealing with hotel workouts.
- 1:11:18Speaker 13: Do you have a do you have a personal sauna?
- 1:11:20Speaker 13: Do you have a stand up sauna? Is there a
- 1:11:21Speaker 13: workout room? Is the workout room cold?
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: Is it warm?
- 1:11:24Speaker 13: So all these little details that sound like, you know,
- 1:11:27Speaker 13: your audience is probably like, well, it doesn't sound like
- 1:11:29Speaker 13: it matters that much, but it matters a ton when
- 1:11:31Speaker 13: you're cutting weight. Your calorie is restricted, your water restricted,
- 1:11:36Speaker 13: and it just the I think the biggest it's not
- 1:11:39Speaker 13: actually just the weight cut, it's more just the unfortunate
- 1:11:43Speaker 13: part about someday I'm gonna look back and say, man,
- 1:11:46Speaker 13: I wish I could still fight, you know, I mean,
- 1:11:48Speaker 13: like you someday when I when I retire, say man
- 1:11:51Speaker 13: I wish I could go through that again. Whish you
- 1:11:52Speaker 13: could fight again, which you could feel that, you feel
- 1:11:54Speaker 13: the exhilaration of it all. The weight cutting takes the
- 1:11:57Speaker 13: fun out of it. You know that fight week is
- 1:12:01Speaker 13: in a lot of ways, there's a lot of pressure.
- 1:12:03Speaker 13: You know, every single opportunity I've had in the in
- 1:12:04Speaker 13: the UFC has been huge, you know, all it's they've
- 1:12:07Speaker 13: all been huge pay per views, they've all been big fights,
- 1:12:10Speaker 13: big cards, a lot of hoopla, a lot of media,
- 1:12:13Speaker 13: and these are some of the greatest moments of my life.
- 1:12:15Speaker 13: Yet they're marred by this dark cloud of.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: Where's my weight? At what time is it? Can I
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: work out tonight? What is my weight?
- 1:12:22Speaker 13: If my weight is just two pounds heavier than I
- 1:12:25Speaker 13: wanted to be, one pound heavier than I wanted to be,
- 1:12:27Speaker 13: changes my entire attitude.
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: I don't want to be around people.
- 1:12:30Speaker 13: I don't want if I'm with you and you're my
- 1:12:32Speaker 13: teammate fighting on the card and I know you're not
- 1:12:34Speaker 13: cutting as much weight as I am, I don't want
- 1:12:35Speaker 13: to see you. I don't want to talk to you.
- 1:12:36Speaker 13: I don't want you to look in my direction. I
- 1:12:38Speaker 13: become that guy, right so it's not good. Like I
- 1:12:41Speaker 13: don't like my wife to be around me on fight
- 1:12:43Speaker 13: week because I don't want her to see that side
- 1:12:45Speaker 13: of me. Kind of like what we were saying, like
- 1:12:46Speaker 13: me like, I got to protect myself from myself sometimes
- 1:12:49Speaker 13: when I'm like, I know when I'm on that TV
- 1:12:52Speaker 13: and I'm in that cage, that dude can't be trusted
- 1:12:55Speaker 13: like this, This guy right here doesn't trust that guy
- 1:12:57Speaker 13: that that's fighting, you know, It's like I don't trust him,
- 1:13:00Speaker 13: similar to how you saw.
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: Many similar I'm not trusting you. I'm disagreeing. Come on, dude, man,
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: don't God damn it, Mike move. I'm pretty sure.
- 1:13:11Speaker 13: Actually, I was talking to my brother Eric. Have you
- 1:13:13Speaker 13: met Eric yet?
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: Have you met my brother Eric?
- 1:13:15Speaker 12: No?
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: I thought you, but we were we were talking.
- 1:13:17Speaker 13: We were talking about he watched it with my my
- 1:13:19Speaker 13: younger youngest brother, Matthew, and he's like, oh my god,
- 1:13:22Speaker 13: he's he's committing suicide, Like what does he do? You know,
- 1:13:25Speaker 13: It's like the different range of emotions that are going on,
- 1:13:28Speaker 13: and to me, I'm just like, dude, we're having the blast.
- 1:13:30Speaker 13: Let's do this, you know, come on, let's you know,
- 1:13:32Speaker 13: like finish me see if you can do it.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: Like that, you're getting popped in the face exactly and
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: literally saying keep coming. I'm like, you put your fucking
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: hand down, dude, you don't need to continue to get him.
- 1:13:40Speaker 13: I can't trust that guy. That's what I can't be trusted.
- 1:13:43Speaker 13: And luckily you'll never meet that guy, hopefully, hopefully never
- 1:13:46Speaker 13: nobody ever met that guy besides my opponents inside the
- 1:13:49Speaker 13: confines of mixed martial arts competition.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:13:53Speaker 13: But the good thing is, you know, what did Jordan
- 1:13:56Speaker 13: Peterson say? Like the greatest thing is to be to
- 1:13:59Speaker 13: be dangerous and to be nasty, but to not have
- 1:14:03Speaker 13: to use it, like something similar to that, to know
- 1:14:07Speaker 13: to know that that guy is inside of you, that
- 1:14:09Speaker 13: tyrannical person who could just do some really really crazy things,
- 1:14:15Speaker 13: but to know that he's inside of you, but to
- 1:14:17Speaker 13: know how to harness him, to know how to and
- 1:14:20Speaker 13: even like, you know, we talk about the Bible, the
- 1:14:23Speaker 13: Bible scripture the meek talking about being meek, you know,
- 1:14:26Speaker 13: the meek shall and hair a the earth. Meek doesn't
- 1:14:28Speaker 13: mean look away, shy away from competitions, shy away from things,
- 1:14:33Speaker 13: be be meek and scared of things. It's to be
- 1:14:37Speaker 13: all courageous and all powerful, but it being like a
- 1:14:41Speaker 13: sword that is sheathed to know when to pull that
- 1:14:44Speaker 13: sword out, to know that, but to know that you
- 1:14:46Speaker 13: have that sword, and so I mean, to know that
- 1:14:48Speaker 13: I have that crazy psychopath inside of me is great
- 1:14:51Speaker 13: because I know he makes me a better father, he
- 1:14:54Speaker 13: makes me a better husband, he makes me a better businessman,
- 1:14:56Speaker 13: makes me a better human being.
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: But just knowing nobody needs to see him. Yeah, it
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: doesn't need to be all the time. No, definitely not. Oh,
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: there we go. We got a Jordan nice Pool. Dude.
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: Almost man is not a good man. A good man
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: is very dangerous. Is a very dangerous man who has
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: that undervoluntary control of it? Voluntary like knowing knowing that
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: you have control over it. Yeah. I'm a huge fan
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: of Jordan Peterson, dude, great philosopher. Get him in your life.
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: Get him on the bus, Jordan, that would be insane.
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: Do you know him? No, I mean I'm sure, I'm
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: sure the networks we could, we could, we can. We
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: could figure it out one degree of separation. Yeah, I
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: was gonna say we could figure it out. Jordan. If
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: you're listening, we'd love to have you on the bus.
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: Man become one of the boys. Dude, dude, let's dive
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: into the fight because watching the fight, it's like, you know,
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: it brings me back to my days of watching my
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: brother wrestling, Like you're a little like you get a
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: little anxiety. You're obviously we're one you to win or
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: I want you to win, and uh, it seemed like
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: you guys just got out there and had just a
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: hillbilly brawl three rounds, like you had a plan, but
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: it just kind of goes out the door once the
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: fight started, and you guys just wanted to kind of
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: throw hands the whole time. You guys are even saying
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: comments whoever takes a step back is a plus y
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: or whoever takes the first shot and take down, And
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: I'm kind of thinking to myself like, oh, you're a
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: good wrestler, why would you want to wrestle him? Or
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: at that moment, like why does it go to the
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: way it does? Man.
- 1:16:22Speaker 13: So the funny thing is is having to apologize to
- 1:16:25Speaker 13: my wife because I literally I told her before the fight.
- 1:16:27Speaker 13: I was like, Babe, you know I beat I beat
- 1:16:29Speaker 13: this guy in wrestling nine times out of ten. You
- 1:16:32Speaker 13: know there's no way that he that I don't beat
- 1:16:35Speaker 13: him in a wrestling match every single time in an
- 1:16:37Speaker 13: MMA wrestling match, putt puttinghim up against the cage, picking
- 1:16:39Speaker 13: him up, putting him down, wearing him down, pulling on
- 1:16:41Speaker 13: his head, grabbing his wrist, grabbing his elbow underhook's just
- 1:16:44Speaker 13: making it dirty being in his face and not slugging
- 1:16:47Speaker 13: it out. I win that fight most of the time.
- 1:16:49Speaker 13: And I think I will say just Justin Gaateche does do.
- 1:16:53Speaker 13: Justin Getchy has really great takedown defense, the way that
- 1:16:55Speaker 13: he moves, how fast he can get his legs and
- 1:16:57Speaker 13: his hips back.
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: Each time that I touched his leg.
- 1:17:00Speaker 13: I wasn't close enough to reinforce that I was going
- 1:17:03Speaker 13: to be able to take them down, and I didn't
- 1:17:04Speaker 13: want to get stuck in the wrestling. But more than anything, man,
- 1:17:08Speaker 13: we started off so fast. Madison Square Gardens a different,
- 1:17:12Speaker 13: different animal, man. Madison Square Garden is a is a
- 1:17:14Speaker 13: place warming up in the same locker room as Mike Tyson,
- 1:17:18Speaker 13: same set walk in the same halls as Muhammad Ali.
- 1:17:23Speaker 13: So I'm not saying that that was part of it,
- 1:17:24Speaker 13: but it was the scene. The atmosphere just felt different.
- 1:17:29Speaker 13: So man, I'm getting ready and I'm looking looking at
- 1:17:31Speaker 13: him across the cage. I'm like, I can't wait to
- 1:17:33Speaker 13: get my hands on you, and it just we started.
- 1:17:37Speaker 13: We started, and the fans there, I didn't hear. I
- 1:17:41Speaker 13: didn't hear one word from my coach. I fought twenty
- 1:17:44Speaker 13: nine times. Every single time I've heard at least something
- 1:17:47Speaker 13: here and there from coaches, little lips here, little cues. There.
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: Didn't hear a thing.
- 1:17:52Speaker 13: So every single it was because we started out so fast.
- 1:17:56Speaker 13: People were so hyped and anticipating of this fight that
- 1:18:00Speaker 13: I don't think anybody was sitting down when the card started,
- 1:18:03Speaker 13: when Bruce Buffer said, and we are live now on
- 1:18:06Speaker 13: pay per view, and here we are gay chie versus
- 1:18:08Speaker 13: Chandler starting this card off of the Bang, and the
- 1:18:10Speaker 13: UFC did that on purpose to put probably one of
- 1:18:13Speaker 13: the most anticipated fights on the card, probably you know,
- 1:18:16Speaker 13: aside from the main card, the main main event title fight.
- 1:18:20Speaker 13: This was the fight that everyone was looking forward to because,
- 1:18:23Speaker 13: and I alluded to this yesterday, not everybody in mixed
- 1:18:26Speaker 13: martial arts is a man or a woman of their word.
- 1:18:28Speaker 13: They say a lot of a lot of claims that
- 1:18:31Speaker 13: they're going to go out there and fight, they're going
- 1:18:33Speaker 13: to stand toe to toe, they're gonna come forward there this,
- 1:18:36Speaker 13: and they are that, But not a lot of people
- 1:18:38Speaker 13: always do it.
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: Me and Gai Chee always do that.
- 1:18:40Speaker 13: We we are men of our words when we say
- 1:18:42Speaker 13: we're actually going to do it. So there was just
- 1:18:45Speaker 13: so much hype, and we met in the center of
- 1:18:47Speaker 13: the octagons, exchanged a few of them, and I think
- 1:18:49Speaker 13: we both we both had early success.
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: I think he landed. I hit him with a jab
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: the first punch of the fight. Landed and it was
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: a jab.
- 1:18:58Speaker 13: And it was probably the hardest j ever landing in
- 1:19:00Speaker 13: my entire life. And he stumbled backwards and he kind
- 1:19:03Speaker 13: of smiled a little bit, which a reinforced Okay, I'm
- 1:19:06Speaker 13: gonna knock this dude out. Then he hits me with
- 1:19:09Speaker 13: something pretty hard, so he reinforces to him that okay,
- 1:19:11Speaker 13: I can knock this dude out.
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: And then from there it was you know, freaking. A
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: couple of times it's like, oh fuck, and then's oh shit,
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: let's go, and it was yeah, and then it was
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: you know then and you almost like on my end
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: routing being Team Chandler, it's like you caught him there
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: at the end. Toward the end of that first round.
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: You guys were just kind of out of gas. Man.
- 1:19:30Speaker 13: It's hard, man, it's it's crazy because you never know
- 1:19:34Speaker 13: how long five minutes is until you got to go
- 1:19:36Speaker 13: redline for five minutes, you know, like it's it's it's crazy.
- 1:19:41Speaker 13: And then you get back to your stool and you
- 1:19:43Speaker 13: have about forty five seconds of basically sitting there trying
- 1:19:46Speaker 13: to catch your breath.
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: Fighting is is uh.
- 1:19:49Speaker 13: It's a game of trying to like it's calculated violence
- 1:19:55Speaker 13: and fast spurts of energy, trying to conserve, conserve where
- 1:19:59Speaker 13: you can conserve. But there's barely in a fight like that.
- 1:20:01Speaker 13: There was barely ever a moment you could ever conserve.
- 1:20:04Speaker 13: You know, you couldn't take a step back. You get
- 1:20:07Speaker 13: the takedown, and there's nothing better in a fight than
- 1:20:09Speaker 13: when you're tired as heck. You pick a guy up,
- 1:20:11Speaker 13: put him down, and you're able to get on top
- 1:20:12Speaker 13: of him, throw a tight waist and grab a wrist
- 1:20:14Speaker 13: and you're like, okay, take a breath.
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: I don't remember ever taking a breath in that fight.
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: Not once. The only breath was after the uppercut. Oh
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: you had his leg, and you're just yeah, right, yeah,
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: you're not You're not thinking I'm taking your breath. It's
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: just you'rers whole that's the only time the fight might
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: have been stagnant.
- 1:20:31Speaker 13: Well, and that was the crazy thing about it is,
- 1:20:34Speaker 13: And just to kind of give the listeners a kind
- 1:20:36Speaker 13: of an insight, the most unfortunate part about that was
- 1:20:40Speaker 13: I didn't really know. I didn't know I got dropped
- 1:20:43Speaker 13: with the uppercut. I didn't know I was on my back.
- 1:20:45Speaker 13: I didn't know he came down hit me with something
- 1:20:47Speaker 13: that's so crazy. I'm like on my knees trying to
- 1:20:49Speaker 13: like protect myself, still throwing punches while he's trying to
- 1:20:51Speaker 13: finish me, and then I dive in and I get
- 1:20:53Speaker 13: it on a leg.
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: Thank god.
- 1:20:55Speaker 13: He like hits me a couple of times in the
- 1:20:56Speaker 13: back of the head, you know, not on purpose. It
- 1:20:58Speaker 13: just it's one of those things where the head there
- 1:21:00Speaker 13: you throw, you're just gonna throw until the ref tells
- 1:21:02Speaker 13: you to stop throwing. And I remember being on a leg,
- 1:21:07Speaker 13: like how did I get here? And I like looked around.
- 1:21:10Speaker 13: I was like, I don't remember how this happened, so
- 1:21:13Speaker 13: he must have dropped me. But in my mind, I
- 1:21:15Speaker 13: wish I would have thought. Let me think about his
- 1:21:18Speaker 13: body language and how he's reacting right now, because gechee,
- 1:21:21Speaker 13: I think threw so much into that uppercut, then the
- 1:21:24Speaker 13: one shot, and then there's ten shots after that, trying
- 1:21:26Speaker 13: to finish me. And there's nothing more demoralizing than when
- 1:21:30Speaker 13: you get close to finishing a guy you can't.
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: You look him in the eyes and you're like, dang, dude,
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: like I can't finish this guy. He's not going away.
- 1:21:39Speaker 13: So I wish I would have been able to pick
- 1:21:40Speaker 13: up on that that, you know, he's you know, we
- 1:21:43Speaker 13: got to actually here on the on the screen like
- 1:21:46Speaker 13: he's he's not really doing much right here. He's kind
- 1:21:49Speaker 13: of justin gates. He's not the kind of guy to
- 1:21:50Speaker 13: sit here and hold a guy in front of head lock.
- 1:21:52Speaker 13: He wants to pick you up, stand you up, and
- 1:21:53Speaker 13: beat you, like beat you up.
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:21:55Speaker 13: So even knowing that he was sitting here for twenty
- 1:21:58Speaker 13: thirty seconds, kind it was a tell. And there's there's
- 1:22:01Speaker 13: a smile we were talking about that's when people realize
- 1:22:03Speaker 13: Michael Chiller's a psychopath. And I'm smiling right there, and
- 1:22:06Speaker 13: I'm just like I got blood on the canvas, and
- 1:22:10Speaker 13: he's got my American flag mouthpiece full of blood, and
- 1:22:13Speaker 13: and he's somewhat taking a break. You know, which Justin
- 1:22:16Speaker 13: Gatche never does. And he's a heck of a competitor.
- 1:22:19Speaker 13: He's a solid dude, solid competitor. But in that moment,
- 1:22:24Speaker 13: I wish it would have known, like, Okay, he's second
- 1:22:26Speaker 13: guessing with his ability to finish me, right.
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: But you was just coming out, coming back from being
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: out of it exactly because you're like, you're like, how
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: did I get here? You watch that replay you figure
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: out that damn that boy? Yeah, now I know. I
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: was on my knees like doing this bro and that heaving.
- 1:22:40Speaker 11: I was like, oh, it's like.
- 1:22:40Speaker 13: Judo chopping him, trying to stop the punches.
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: Like I didn't know any of that was going on.
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: I thought he was about that. I thought the ref
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: was Stott was going to stop it.
- 1:22:48Speaker 13: No, Mike Belchran is a phenomenal and the funny thing
- 1:22:50Speaker 13: about that dude is he's awesome as a referee. But
- 1:22:54Speaker 13: he also was like, hey, listen, I know the fight.
- 1:22:56Speaker 13: I'm about the referee. I just want you to know,
- 1:22:58Speaker 13: like you're okay, I know you. I know you've had
- 1:23:02Speaker 13: some some some fast stoppages in your past, Like I'm
- 1:23:05Speaker 13: gonna kind of like looked around. He's like I'm gonna
- 1:23:07Speaker 13: let this I'm gonna let this fight go. I'm gonna
- 1:23:09Speaker 13: make sure that you you get your fair shake if
- 1:23:12Speaker 13: anything happens. And he's like, I'm and I'm not telling
- 1:23:14Speaker 13: you that. I'm telling that to Justin Gatgee as well.
- 1:23:16Speaker 13: I know who you guys are, I know what you
- 1:23:19Speaker 13: want to do, and there's been moments in your career
- 1:23:21Speaker 13: where you're like, dang, dude, if I just would have
- 1:23:23Speaker 13: just had one more second, I would have been able
- 1:23:25Speaker 13: to get out of it and then could have finished
- 1:23:27Speaker 13: the fight. So it was the perfect referee, he was
- 1:23:30Speaker 13: the perfect opponent, and it was the perfect night even
- 1:23:34Speaker 13: if I lost.
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: All Right, you all know Roadback best fit best feel.
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: It's football season, the best season, which means it's also
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: hoodie seasons. Get a little cold out there, time to
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: bundle up in a perfectly warm and comfortable hoodie from Rowback.
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: Rollback just restocked their performance hoodies, and I'm not kidding
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: when we say they are the absolute softest, highest quality
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: hoodies in the game. The materials out of this world soft,
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: and the stretch is unmatched. Nobody does hoodies like the
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: Boys at Back use the code busts and b u
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: s si in on roadback dot Com for a generous
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: twenty percent off your first order. That's spelled r h
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: O b a c k dot com. Twenty percent off
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: your first order on all polos, q zips, hoodies and
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: teas with code busts and hop on the roadback bus
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: now because it's taken off boys, so go check them
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: out at roadback dot com. Do it for the boys before.
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: That was before the fight.
- 1:24:23Speaker 13: So the referee always comes in. You got your commissioner
- 1:24:25Speaker 13: who watches you like a hawk, especially in New York.
- 1:24:27Speaker 13: He had to watch me p he had to watch
- 1:24:29Speaker 13: me walk down the hallway. He had I couldn't eat anything,
- 1:24:32Speaker 13: can't drink anything. They don't let you have anything. You
- 1:24:34Speaker 13: can't ingest anything besides the water that they give you
- 1:24:37Speaker 13: there in the venue. And then you have the referee
- 1:24:39Speaker 13: come in. If they don't know, they shake your hand. Hey,
- 1:24:41Speaker 13: I'm so and so I'm your referee. But obviously I've
- 1:24:44Speaker 13: might spend my referee numerous times. He's been my judge.
- 1:24:46Speaker 13: He's judges fights. So it's it's funny. As the sport
- 1:24:50Speaker 13: grows and touches every corner of the globe, it's still
- 1:24:53Speaker 13: such a small community. It's all the same referees, it's
- 1:24:56Speaker 13: the same commissions, it's the same fighters. You know, we're
- 1:25:00Speaker 13: fighting each other's friends, fighting each other's teammates.
- 1:25:02Speaker 7: So you good, Alex, Yeah, yeah, that's amazing.
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: At what point, because you're obviously being an incredible showman
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: as well, Like you're eating a lot of shots, and
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: I don't know if there's times where you're thinking, like,
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: you know, I always use the Rocky reference, but you're
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: standing in there wanting to take shots because you're obviously
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: saying come on more, and like, at at what point
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: watching the replay of the fight, are you like, I
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: gotta be a little bit smarter out there, because for real, man,
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: like you're giving him shots as well, but as your boy,
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: Like I'm sitting there like, yo, why are you just
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: eating shots? I get like you're wanting to be like
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: a great showman on the sport, like Iron Mike, Like
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: you're crazy as shit, right, But at what point are
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: you just thinking like I need to stop fucking being
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: doing that in the fighter or after? I you're probably
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: not thinking about it in the In the fight, you're
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: not thinking about it, but after and watching you're saying
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: you're apologizing to your wife, becaus all the people that
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: you are thinking the same thing, like how like why
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: would you move forward and continue to do shit?
- 1:26:05Speaker 13: Like because I told yeah, because well back to my wife.
- 1:26:07Speaker 13: I don't think I finished that thought, but yeah, I
- 1:26:09Speaker 13: told her. I was like, hey, I got I got
- 1:26:10Speaker 13: an easier path to victory, to wrestle this guy, get
- 1:26:13Speaker 13: him up against the cage. And obviously that didn't happen.
- 1:26:15Speaker 13: So yeah, I owed her apology because.
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: You wanted to be a man of your word on
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: saying what you said. Yeah, because again it's like I
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: didn't want to think that. I was like, because I
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: do have to gauge her feelings on an opponent. I
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: do have to gauge her her emotions. Like she's a
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: she's a sweetheart, heart of a person, and she is
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: a tough, independent, hard, hard woman like she is. She is,
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: she was, she was built to be my.
- 1:26:39Speaker 13: Wife for this in this sport. She's perfect for her.
- 1:26:42Speaker 13: But she's still is like, all right, this is freaking nuts.
- 1:26:45Speaker 13: And now they went over to the UFC. I mean,
- 1:26:47Speaker 13: if you look at my run so far, and you
- 1:26:48Speaker 13: look at some of these guys, I gotta fight. They're
- 1:26:50Speaker 13: the they are the best in the world, on the
- 1:26:52Speaker 13: planet at one hundred and fifty five pounds. So I
- 1:26:56Speaker 13: didn't want her to think that I was just pandering
- 1:26:58Speaker 13: to her saying, Hey, I'm gonna go out there and
- 1:27:00Speaker 13: more like that really was the plan. You just didn't
- 1:27:03Speaker 13: go that way. And so after, yeah, I mean after,
- 1:27:06Speaker 13: when I watch it, I'm like, God, this guy's an idiot,
- 1:27:10Speaker 13: you know. But it's but it's also a beautiful It's
- 1:27:13Speaker 13: like beautiful because I've this is what this is, what
- 1:27:16Speaker 13: my calling is.
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:27:17Speaker 13: God put me on this earth to do this and
- 1:27:20Speaker 13: to be able to sit here on this bus with
- 1:27:22Speaker 13: you also, and to be a father and to be
- 1:27:24Speaker 13: a husband and to be you know, all the things
- 1:27:26Speaker 13: I want to be. So you know, it's it's uh,
- 1:27:29Speaker 13: you definitely look at it and know because I know
- 1:27:32Speaker 13: there's a lot of guys one foot in, one foot out.
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: Of the of the violence of the sport. I'm all in.
- 1:27:37Speaker 13: I'm I love it, you know, which is not a
- 1:27:41Speaker 13: good thing, not unnecessarily like it's I think it's a
- 1:27:43Speaker 13: scary thing. I think there's a lot of guys in
- 1:27:46Speaker 13: at the one fifty five division that don't want to
- 1:27:47Speaker 13: fight me Because of that, I think every single fan
- 1:27:52Speaker 13: on the mixed Martial arts planet wants to watch me
- 1:27:54Speaker 13: fight now, So that's you weigh both sides of it.
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: It definitely raised my stock.
- 1:27:59Speaker 13: This was one time that those antics, the way that
- 1:28:01Speaker 13: I fought, my willingness to engage, my willingness to be
- 1:28:05Speaker 13: in the slugfest, my willingness to eat the shots, raises
- 1:28:08Speaker 13: your stock. People are gonna want to see me fight.
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: But is it better to know though that you just
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: have that in your bag and you don't want to
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: pull that out. Yeah, because again, you watch that fight
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: and obviously you look back like, yeah, you want to
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: wrestling more. You feel good about your wrestling and stuff
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: like that, and obviously hindsight's twenty twenty. But like you said,
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: the adrenaline dumb happens. You're not hearing anything massive square.
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: The moment is just nobody can understand unless they're in it. Yeah,
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: but watching it, are you? Do you get frustrated? Like,
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: I mean, I should have went here. Obviously I should
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: have wrestled while I did a slugfest too much. Yeah,
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: it's good that everyone saw this slug fest for the
- 1:28:42Speaker 2: American boy, the Missouri boy who's gritty, dependable, reliable like
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: the Chevy Soeverado, but like a rock, right are you?
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: Are you sitting there like I can't be doing that
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: to myself. You're put on this earth to fight, but
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: it's not like you need to go out there and
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: put on some kind of show like that every time. No,
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: And I think I think there was.
- 1:29:01Speaker 13: I mean there was a certain tactical aspect of it too.
- 1:29:03Speaker 13: I mean there was moments in the fight where I looked,
- 1:29:05Speaker 13: I looked across the cage, or I looked in the
- 1:29:07Speaker 13: exchanges at Justin Gaetchee and thought, you know, because there
- 1:29:11Speaker 13: was always this that when Justin Gagey came into the
- 1:29:13Speaker 13: into the sport or into the end of the UFC,
- 1:29:15Speaker 13: onto the mainstream, he said, show me my equal. And
- 1:29:19Speaker 13: if you're that kind of guy, you want you want
- 1:29:22Speaker 13: to find your equal. But when you find your equal,
- 1:29:24Speaker 13: it could it could hit you like a ton of
- 1:29:26Speaker 13: bricks and you're like, I don't know if I actually
- 1:29:29Speaker 13: want to fight my equal right now. And I felt
- 1:29:31Speaker 13: that numerous times in the fight. I felt I felt
- 1:29:34Speaker 13: Justin Gaichee, who is the scariest, most unpredictable, most entertaining
- 1:29:39Speaker 13: fighter in mixed martial arts. Not to take anything away
- 1:29:42Speaker 13: from him, but I felt that he felt that he
- 1:29:46Speaker 13: knew that he was in a dog fight like he
- 1:29:48Speaker 13: had never been before. So there was a certain amount
- 1:29:50Speaker 13: of tactical aspect of it too, where there is because
- 1:29:56Speaker 13: this this sport is as physical as it is, it's
- 1:29:59Speaker 13: it's mainly mental because your mental your mental aspect is
- 1:30:03Speaker 13: going to control your heart rate, it's going to control
- 1:30:05Speaker 13: your body, your body's willingness to keep coming forward. And
- 1:30:09Speaker 13: when we're in a violent fight like that, I felt
- 1:30:12Speaker 13: like there was also some tactical aspect of it too
- 1:30:15Speaker 13: that by him knowing that he can't finish me, it
- 1:30:18Speaker 13: makes him second guess himself, because most of mixed martial
- 1:30:21Speaker 13: arts too, isn't just imposing your will on the opponent,
- 1:30:24Speaker 13: it's also making them second guests themselves inside inside the competition.
- 1:30:30Speaker 13: You know, similar to one play, you flat back a guy,
- 1:30:33Speaker 13: then you know you're in his head, and then it's like, okay,
- 1:30:35Speaker 13: next play, he might try again, but he's gonna try
- 1:30:37Speaker 13: a little bit less because he knows the battle is lost.
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:30:40Speaker 13: So but all that to say, yeah, I don't really
- 1:30:45Speaker 13: condone that for myself. You know, I got a life
- 1:30:48Speaker 13: after fighting, that's going to be a lot more fruitful
- 1:30:50Speaker 13: than inside the actual octagon.
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: But like we said, I can't control it, Yeah, because
- 1:30:57Speaker 2: when I'm watching and that all that stuff happens, I'm thinking, like, man,
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: you know, how much how much is it worth going
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: in there and fighting that style and taking you know,
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: both of you guys, but taking a beating like that? Like,
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: how much is that worth? All of this extra showman,
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: all these antics that kind of come with it. So
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: I'm like, man, like, how many more times would you
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: actually want to fight that way? Well?
- 1:31:18Speaker 3: Night?
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: Well?
- 1:31:18Speaker 13: Oh, I mean I don't want to fight that way
- 1:31:20Speaker 13: ever again. But I mean ninety you know, ninety five
- 1:31:23Speaker 13: percent of the fight was was just a good old
- 1:31:25Speaker 13: fashioned passionate scrap.
- 1:31:26Speaker 8: You know.
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: One percent.
- 1:31:29Speaker 13: Five percent of it was you know, a little bit
- 1:31:31Speaker 13: of like dude, what are you doing?
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: Man?
- 1:31:33Speaker 3: Like?
- 1:31:33Speaker 13: You know any and I even, of of course, I
- 1:31:35Speaker 13: have gotten criticism like, hey, if you would have been
- 1:31:36Speaker 13: a little more tactical and not tried to put on
- 1:31:38Speaker 13: a show, you would have won the fight.
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: But truthfully, I'm not just saying this.
- 1:31:42Speaker 13: This sounds like something a loser of a fight would say,
- 1:31:45Speaker 13: but it's very genuine when I say it was the
- 1:31:48Speaker 13: first time in my career that Mike beltran and the
- 1:31:50Speaker 13: referee grabbed my wrist, And it was that moment where
- 1:31:52Speaker 13: I was about to get my hand raised or keep
- 1:31:54Speaker 13: it down while my opponent got his hand raised or
- 1:31:57Speaker 13: kept it down. And I at that moment when you
- 1:32:00Speaker 13: grab my wrist, I was like, oh, shoot, there's gonna
- 1:32:02Speaker 13: be a winner and a loser right right now, first
- 1:32:04Speaker 13: time in my first time in my life, which is
- 1:32:07Speaker 13: which is great because once again I've I've talked about
- 1:32:10Speaker 13: this and I've thought about it a lot.
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: People aren't gonna remember the wins and losses.
- 1:32:14Speaker 13: They're not gonna remember the performances all the time, but
- 1:32:15Speaker 13: they're gonna remember how they felt, you know, like people
- 1:32:19Speaker 13: are gonna remember how you made them feel.
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: And that's the same thing here on the bus.
- 1:32:24Speaker 13: They might not remember the words that they hear, but
- 1:32:26Speaker 13: they're gonna remember how that certain podcast made them feel,
- 1:32:30Speaker 13: and it's gonna help them move forward in their life.
- 1:32:32Speaker 13: It's gonna help it's gonna make an impact on them.
- 1:32:34Speaker 13: So I think that that fight was the epitome of
- 1:32:38Speaker 13: of making people feel something about why they love mixed
- 1:32:41Speaker 13: martial arts. Like I said, I don't condone it. I
- 1:32:44Speaker 13: don't I'm not gonna be the guy who's gonna go
- 1:32:46Speaker 13: out there and do that every single time. And I
- 1:32:47Speaker 13: you know, I think I prove that in the the
- 1:32:49Speaker 13: Charles olive aerfight, to reprove that in my first fight
- 1:32:51Speaker 13: against Dan Hooker. I've proven that numerous times in my career.
- 1:32:55Speaker 13: I'm not a slugfest kind of guy. But if you
- 1:32:57Speaker 13: want to take me there, if I if I need
- 1:32:58Speaker 13: to take you there, I can take you there. Said
- 1:33:00Speaker 13: just like the Peterson quote, like it's nice to have
- 1:33:02Speaker 13: it in your back pocket.
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: That was well said. I guess it was like making
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: I thought, I thought that made a lot of sense,
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: because you're right, it makes you feel certainly, there's no
- 1:33:10Speaker 2: doubt that eyes right now, a lot more eyes are
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: like you know, Michael Chandler, regardless of how that fight
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: went down and everything, it's like, how do you not
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: respect and think that's one of the best fights you've
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: ever seen? Yeah? Well, and that's the thing too.
- 1:33:20Speaker 13: I mean, and I've been very candid, like I I
- 1:33:23Speaker 13: remember losing to Charles Olivera and dude, it was one
- 1:33:26Speaker 13: of the hardest moments in my life. Man, I you know,
- 1:33:28Speaker 13: I came on the bus forty eight hours later and
- 1:33:30Speaker 13: it was one of the lowest, not lowest points in
- 1:33:33Speaker 13: my life.
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: But like it was, it was the biggest.
- 1:33:35Speaker 13: It was the biggest letdown of my athletic career, right
- 1:33:38Speaker 13: Like I I've been training so hard and focus so
- 1:33:42Speaker 13: hard on becoming the number one fighter in the world,
- 1:33:44Speaker 13: the number one lightweight in the world. And I had
- 1:33:46Speaker 13: that opportunity and I lost. But still even in it
- 1:33:50Speaker 13: because I love the sport of mixed martial arts so much.
- 1:33:52Speaker 13: There was a there was a part of me that
- 1:33:54Speaker 13: I wanted to cry for my loss, but I was
- 1:33:57Speaker 13: happy for him. You know, It's weird because like, man,
- 1:34:00Speaker 13: we're just We're just a bunch of dudes with two
- 1:34:02Speaker 13: arms and two legs. Man, he's got a wife and kids, like,
- 1:34:05Speaker 13: he's got his passions, he's got his things. He was
- 1:34:07Speaker 13: a poor kid from the favelas of Brazil.
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: He had to wait a long time too to get Man.
- 1:34:12Speaker 13: He was He's had moments where he felt like he
- 1:34:14Speaker 13: was a loser, and he had probably had moments where
- 1:34:16Speaker 13: he wanted to quit. And that's why people love the
- 1:34:19Speaker 13: That's why people love this sport. Man, is like, and
- 1:34:21Speaker 13: I people will probably like, dude, that's bs, what are
- 1:34:23Speaker 13: you taught? You Like, there's no way you were happy
- 1:34:25Speaker 13: for him in that moment, But I really was, man,
- 1:34:28Speaker 13: and I went back to the locker room and freaking
- 1:34:30Speaker 13: cried my eyes out, and it was it was. It
- 1:34:31Speaker 13: was rough, but but there was still a part of
- 1:34:33Speaker 13: me where I like, when I see Charles Olivera holding
- 1:34:36Speaker 13: that belt, I'm like, you know what sucks for me
- 1:34:38Speaker 13: to do, but good for you? Like this is this
- 1:34:39Speaker 13: is the sport. You can't you can't love the sport
- 1:34:42Speaker 13: of mixed martial arts and take the bright lights and
- 1:34:45Speaker 13: the platform and the money and the you know, the
- 1:34:48Speaker 13: living that I provide for my family with and opportunities
- 1:34:51Speaker 13: like this to be on the bus and the platform
- 1:34:53Speaker 13: that I have without also accepting the horrible parts of it,
- 1:34:57Speaker 13: you know.
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: So it truly was I was.
- 1:34:59Speaker 13: I was for Justin Gagie get that win. And I
- 1:35:01Speaker 13: even said it yesterday on Aerial Show. I said, man,
- 1:35:03Speaker 13: Justin Gaichie is gonna go beat Dustin Poier or Charles
- 1:35:06Speaker 13: olivera middle of next year when one of those guys
- 1:35:09Speaker 13: has the belt, he's gonna win it. And I'm gonna say,
- 1:35:11Speaker 13: you know what, good for you, dude. I'm glad I
- 1:35:13Speaker 13: was part of that journey. And someday justin Gage is
- 1:35:16Speaker 13: gonna be on the bus and we're gonna, you know,
- 1:35:17Speaker 13: toast some whiskey and we're gonna like we're be like, dude,
- 1:35:19Speaker 13: we did it, had a blast. It was a good
- 1:35:21Speaker 13: time man like in hopefully we're you know, in one piece.
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sick. Gigi on the bus and talk about
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: bullus and talk about both sides of it too, just
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: to see like what goes on in his head because
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: a lot of the times too, you're talking a lot
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: about like Gai Chee's world and Gee Chee, like playing
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: Gai Chee's game, and I feel like that's the first
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: time he's felt this and his you standing toe to toe.
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: That doesn't usually happen with Geigee. He usually gets his
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: way with this. You're talking about playing Gai Chee's game
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: a lot like going forward, like what's the what's the
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: thought of Michael Chandler's world, Like what's in your game?
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: Like what's in your strategy if you were to fight
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: him again? Like how do you sit there and think
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: more about yourself than being like, I'm gonna prove that
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: I can stand toe to toe in this dude's world,
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: and you know, think about people who don't think certain
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: things of you that you got to prove wrong. Like,
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: at what point do you start thinking about yourself and
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: what's next for Mike Chandler.
- 1:36:10Speaker 13: Well, I mean I definitely was. I definitely was thinking
- 1:36:12Speaker 13: that there's definitely an aspect of it because I did,
- 1:36:14Speaker 13: you know, I am new to the UFC. It feels
- 1:36:17Speaker 13: like I've been. It feels like I got on the
- 1:36:19Speaker 13: bus three years ago and talked about coming to the UFC.
- 1:36:22Speaker 13: Signing with the UFC. Right, it feels me he did
- 1:36:24Speaker 13: that is what happened.
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: B Yeah, but fast and once you've got once you
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: landed in the UFC, you were fast tracking, bro. Yeah.
- 1:36:30Speaker 13: October, October, January, May, November, all like all in one year.
- 1:36:37Speaker 13: It's been thirteen months since I signed with the UFC,
- 1:36:40Speaker 13: and it feels like I've been there for three years.
- 1:36:42Speaker 13: So there was an aspect of my career or the
- 1:36:44Speaker 13: Mixed Martial arts fan base that said, well, this guy,
- 1:36:47Speaker 13: you know, number one, got fast tracked. The number two,
- 1:36:49Speaker 13: he's got Dana White privilege. Number three. Everything's working out
- 1:36:51Speaker 13: for him. I don't really like him because of this,
- 1:36:53Speaker 13: that and the other thing. So there was an aspect
- 1:36:55Speaker 13: of he's too old, he's not that good, he's you know,
- 1:36:58Speaker 13: he got fast tracked. He can't and hang with the
- 1:37:00Speaker 13: big dogs. So there, of course, there was an aspect
- 1:37:02Speaker 13: of it where I wanted to be like, y'all just
- 1:37:04Speaker 13: wait to see, you know. But I think I think
- 1:37:10Speaker 13: I'm still, you know, one of the best guys in
- 1:37:11Speaker 13: the world. I think I'm still top three, top five
- 1:37:14Speaker 13: in the world. I'm happy with that right now. I
- 1:37:17Speaker 13: lost to Justin Gaichee. Fight, could fight, could have win
- 1:37:20Speaker 13: either way. I could have been a little bit more tactical,
- 1:37:22Speaker 13: could have landed one shot, knocked him out. He could
- 1:37:24Speaker 13: have finished me in the second round. You know, that's
- 1:37:26Speaker 13: why we love mixed martial arts. We're wearing four ounce gloves.
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:37:30Speaker 13: We all got buttons here on these certain spots that
- 1:37:34Speaker 13: God planted on, that got planted on your chin, got
- 1:37:37Speaker 13: planted on your temple.
- 1:37:38Speaker 2: Touch buttons. Now you just can't, you know, it's it's
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: part of it. But that's why we love mixed martial arts.
- 1:37:42Speaker 13: It doesn't matter if you're a thousand and one, Underdog
- 1:37:44Speaker 13: one thousand and one favorite. You can be beat and
- 1:37:47Speaker 13: that's why you have to enjoy the ups and the
- 1:37:49Speaker 13: downs of this journey. You know, I got twenty nine fights.
- 1:37:52Speaker 13: I'm twenty two and seven. But do people really care
- 1:37:54Speaker 13: that I lost to Justin Gates he? Or do they
- 1:37:55Speaker 13: care about how it made him feel? Do they care
- 1:37:57Speaker 13: about how I pulled myself?
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: I care about you the dog and g Yeah you did.
- 1:38:01Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm here and you say I beat him
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: nine times out of ten wrestling, We'll wrestle the motherfucker then, dude, Yeah,
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: run that wrestling man, Tell your fucking tell, Bree, tell
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: your what. Yeah, I'm gonna wrestle his head. We're gonna hey,
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: we're gonna have a bust. We're gonna stop people, my people.
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: We're gonna carry made him feel nau that I want to.
- 1:38:18Speaker 13: I want me versus Justin Gachee wrestling match right here
- 1:38:23Speaker 13: in the on the in the in the bus warehouse, so.
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: We can roll out of Matt. We get we can
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: get a little circular Matt going.
- 1:38:29Speaker 13: I'll put on I'll put on North County single, Where's
- 1:38:34Speaker 13: he from?
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: Where's Gate? You live?
- 1:38:36Speaker 4: Uh?
- 1:38:36Speaker 13: He's from Arizona. He he trains in Colorado. Dude, the
- 1:38:39Speaker 13: funny thing is, and you gotta work that out.
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: No, not exactly the I mean, the wrestling match would
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: be great, but just getting definitely wrestling match, getting us right, yeah,
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: but no. But the funny thing is, like we'll stream it.
- 1:38:50Speaker 13: And and it's funny too when you think about motivation
- 1:38:52Speaker 13: and you've seen it too with athletes, like different people
- 1:38:55Speaker 13: are motivated by different things. Some people it's like I
- 1:38:58Speaker 13: gotta do this because I don't want to be poor anymore,
- 1:39:00Speaker 13: or I got to do this because I love it,
- 1:39:02Speaker 13: or I gotta be do this because I want to
- 1:39:03Speaker 13: make it, or I gotta do this because I hate
- 1:39:05Speaker 13: this guy and he's trying to take everything away from me.
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: So I want to beat this guy badly. And that's
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: how Justin Gatgee is.
- 1:39:10Speaker 6: So.
- 1:39:10Speaker 13: The funny thing was he and I are cut from
- 1:39:12Speaker 13: the exact same cloth. Dude, middle class, hard working mom
- 1:39:16Speaker 13: and dad wrestling wrestling kids who got into mixed martial
- 1:39:20Speaker 13: arts and now we're trying to live the dream and
- 1:39:22Speaker 13: win world titles. We're the exact same path. And funny
- 1:39:26Speaker 13: thing was like he through people thought there was a
- 1:39:28Speaker 13: lot of animosity because he had said certain things like
- 1:39:31Speaker 13: he doesn't he wanted to punch me in the face,
- 1:39:32Speaker 13: he doesn't like the way I, you know, smirk, he
- 1:39:34Speaker 13: doesn't like this, he doesn't.
- 1:39:35Speaker 8: Like that, you know.
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: He kind of he kind of had to build it
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: up that he didn't like me, when really I knew
- 1:39:41Speaker 2: he liked me.
- 1:39:41Speaker 13: I knew he knew who I was. I'm exactly who
- 1:39:44Speaker 13: you think I am, and I know that you know
- 1:39:46Speaker 13: that you would like me if we didn't have to
- 1:39:47Speaker 13: fight each other. So the funniest thing was, you guys
- 1:39:50Speaker 13: have seen the kind of the high five and the
- 1:39:52Speaker 13: embrace at the end of the fight, and we were
- 1:39:54Speaker 13: talking and I'm bleeding and he's, you know, swollen, and
- 1:39:56Speaker 13: we were just like there was so much mutual respect,
- 1:39:58Speaker 13: and it's it's funny when that video comes out. I
- 1:40:00Speaker 13: don't know when it's going to come out. I don't
- 1:40:01Speaker 13: know exactly what I said, but I was like, dude,
- 1:40:03Speaker 13: I knew, I knew you didn't hate me. Dude, you
- 1:40:05Speaker 13: know said because he said something and I was like, dude,
- 1:40:09Speaker 13: I knew it. You know, I knew it the whole
- 1:40:11Speaker 13: freaking time. Glad it's over, you know, go win the
- 1:40:13Speaker 13: belt or whatever we said. But so it's just that's
- 1:40:16Speaker 13: what it brings out of you. So people were like, dude,
- 1:40:19Speaker 13: you must hate that dude, right, and it's.
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: Like, no, if anything, I like him more.
- 1:40:24Speaker 3: So.
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: There's two guys now, like Eddie Alvarez, I.
- 1:40:26Speaker 13: Spent almost fifty minutes in the cage with freaking slugging
- 1:40:29Speaker 13: it out with two Fight of the Year candidates, and
- 1:40:31Speaker 13: now Justin Gates. You were like, those two dudes were
- 1:40:35Speaker 13: enemies and foes at one point in time when they
- 1:40:38Speaker 13: sit across the cage from me. But I can't name
- 1:40:40Speaker 13: two other dudes on the entire planet that I have
- 1:40:42Speaker 13: more respect for when you've been in the actual trenches
- 1:40:47Speaker 13: with them, you know. So it's it's a beautiful sport man,
- 1:40:51Speaker 13: It's freaking crazy. That's why we love you, dude. I
- 1:40:55Speaker 13: feel like people need more of a Mike Chandler's perspective.
- 1:40:57Speaker 13: Listen to the confidence. Listen to the confidence. Listen to
- 1:41:00Speaker 13: the confidence you have in yourself, which I admire. And
- 1:41:03Speaker 13: then listen to the perspective you just have on the
- 1:41:06Speaker 13: appreciation for other people and their success as well, even
- 1:41:09Speaker 13: in your story, and you know, you justify losing your
- 1:41:13Speaker 13: loss by making people feel a certain way.
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying justifying like that's a shallow way
- 1:41:17Speaker 2: to say it, okay, But I'm saying the way you'll
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: remove yourself and zoom out and see things for kind
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: of what it is. I just I admire and respect
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: that out of you. Thank you, And I don't know
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: where it makes me mad sometimes because I'm like, no,
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: I want you to fucking win, bro, But obviously like
- 1:41:32Speaker 2: there's I don't know, dude, I appreciate it and the
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: most beautiful thing though too.
- 1:41:36Speaker 13: And we've talked about losses and setbacks. It's like, dude,
- 1:41:40Speaker 13: if I think only by going through the losses and
- 1:41:43Speaker 13: the setbacks do you really get get the real oomph
- 1:41:47Speaker 13: and the real the real meaning out of life, dude,
- 1:41:50Speaker 13: clarity of nobody wins all the time, Dude, Like I've
- 1:41:53Speaker 13: hated my life at moments I've thought I was lower
- 1:41:56Speaker 13: than dirt. At moments I was a small guy from
- 1:41:58Speaker 13: a small town. I didn't have a hair, and so
- 1:42:00Speaker 13: I was twenty years old, you know, Like it's tough. Yeah,
- 1:42:03Speaker 13: it's tough, dude, Like these these moments where you're like
- 1:42:05Speaker 13: and these are just all parts of life, and like
- 1:42:07Speaker 13: there's people that are listening right now. They're like, well, dude,
- 1:42:09Speaker 13: I lost that account at work, or man, I lost
- 1:42:11Speaker 13: my job, or COVID was rough, but dude, it ain't
- 1:42:13Speaker 13: as bad as getting knocked out in front of millions
- 1:42:15Speaker 13: of people on pay per view.
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: And then that guy able to be like, I got
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: knocked out in front of millions of people on paycheck
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: is a little bit different.
- 1:42:21Speaker 13: Paycheck is nicecheck, but but paycheck's little bit but but
- 1:42:24Speaker 13: it goes like I see the relatability, but it also
- 1:42:28Speaker 13: goes back to show that every single time that I've
- 1:42:31Speaker 13: had a setback in my life, it always always ended
- 1:42:35Speaker 13: up making me more money, more platform, more shine, more abilities,
- 1:42:40Speaker 13: more and more and more and more. So it's almost
- 1:42:43Speaker 13: like I don't want to sit here and sound cliche,
- 1:42:45Speaker 13: but every single time that I've had a setback, and
- 1:42:48Speaker 13: I'm sitting there in tears and in the Houston Toyota Center,
- 1:42:51Speaker 13: and then I had this epic fight with Justin Gagey.
- 1:42:53Speaker 13: Yeah I lost, But dude, now people want to see
- 1:42:57Speaker 13: me fight even more after those two losses than if
- 1:43:00Speaker 13: I would have won them both.
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: I don't know they would have come on now if
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: you win both those fights, you're fighting for the title.
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: What are you talking about? People don't People don't care, dude, And.
- 1:43:11Speaker 13: Fighting is a is a physical manifestation for the fights
- 1:43:15Speaker 13: that everyone is going through in life.
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: And sometimes you get more.
- 1:43:19Speaker 13: And I've had thousands of people tell me that over
- 1:43:21Speaker 13: the last couple, like a couple of days like that,
- 1:43:24Speaker 13: I've gotten more respect more and my everybody's talking about
- 1:43:27Speaker 13: my stock and I'm like this invisible stock of who
- 1:43:29Speaker 13: I am or whatever. It's just growing like crazy because
- 1:43:33Speaker 13: at once again they're they are they are tweeting that,
- 1:43:36Speaker 13: talking about that, talking about that in the media, interviews
- 1:43:39Speaker 13: and all that kind of stuff, based on how they
- 1:43:41Speaker 13: felt about what I did inside the octagon, win, loser, draw.
- 1:43:46Speaker 13: I can see that just because I feel that you're
- 1:43:49Speaker 13: a homer, dude, You're a Chandler homer.
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: You just want me to win. You know I'm talking
- 1:43:54Speaker 2: about I am talking about the competitive aspect of it.
- 1:43:58Speaker 8: Now.
- 1:43:58Speaker 13: If you to zoomed out because like laser focused in
- 1:44:01Speaker 13: on I know, I know, I know, I care too much.
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: That's a problem if you if you if you win
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: both those fights, you're obviously yeah, you're I mean, you're
- 1:44:10Speaker 2: not fighting Gates. You're fighting for the title because you
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: beat Ali Vera. But obviously the people who are for
- 1:44:16Speaker 2: you are excited for you because you know, in the
- 1:44:19Speaker 2: competitive sport of fighting, you're getting to go for the
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: world title. Wording for your harder than ever. We're worrying
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: for your harder than ever, no matter what. But I
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: feel like things that you're talking to there's more relatability
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: in someone who loses and handles it the way you're
- 1:44:34Speaker 2: handling it that people can gravitate towards that. Ultimately, you know,
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: create more fans and more perspective because the stuff that
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: you're like, oh, these people are telling me this the
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: past couple of days, and a lot of the love
- 1:44:47Speaker 2: you are getting I don't think necessarily has like, yeah,
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: you're gonna have respect from going out there and taking
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: blows you got Like I always do Rocky references, but again,
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: that was a that was a Rocky to fight, that
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: was a Rocky one showdown with Apollo Creed.
- 1:45:00Speaker 13: Rocky is one of the most successful franchise franchises in
- 1:45:03Speaker 13: the world because Rocky didn't win all the time.
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: Exactly, yeah, right, And it's not necessarily you standing in
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: their go and toes and taking those blows, and it's like,
- 1:45:11Speaker 2: oh man, I respect my chandler. But I also think
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: it has a lot to do with the way you
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: handle these things and continue to push through these adversities.
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: I didn't know you're at your lowest point in your
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: career when you came on the bus last time, and
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: you did. You came on the bus twenty four to
- 1:45:23Speaker 2: forty eight hours right after that fight with Alavera. But
- 1:45:26Speaker 2: I think it speaks more to your character and everything else.
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: I know you're bad at taking compliments, but I'm trying
- 1:45:31Speaker 2: to do my best at complimenting you too. I gotta
- 1:45:34Speaker 2: get better at that, you know, you know what I mean.
- 1:45:38Speaker 2: Though I don't think like it's yeah, I think everybody
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: felt a certain way about that fight, Like you know,
- 1:45:42Speaker 2: I'm getting text that's one of the best fights I've
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: ever seen. But also watching how you handle losses and
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: continue to have grace and compassion for not only yourself
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: but the opponent, showing that you you know, there's a
- 1:45:54Speaker 2: weird part of you that's roots for them as well,
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: and are happy for them because you know that they
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: have a story. I think that plays a lot into
- 1:46:00Speaker 2: you yourself as the stock of Michael Chandler, not that
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: you have this cycle part that just took a lot
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: of blows. I think everybody respects that. But you have
- 1:46:08Speaker 2: things that people can relate to because you know, like
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: you were saying losses in their life and how to
- 1:46:13Speaker 2: handle it, how to look at it. I don't know
- 1:46:16Speaker 2: where I was going with that.
- 1:46:17Speaker 13: But well, no, but yeah, I mean and maybe I
- 1:46:19Speaker 13: do felt I was just talking.
- 1:46:20Speaker 2: About my feelings. It's good, No, And I do appreciate it.
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
- 1:46:24Speaker 13: And yeah, I'm not good at take a couple of months,
- 1:46:25Speaker 13: but I and maybe I do look at it. Maybe
- 1:46:29Speaker 13: I shouldn't look at it that way, you know, in
- 1:46:31Speaker 13: a lot of regards, maybe I'd be a better fighter
- 1:46:32Speaker 13: if I didn't look at it that way. But I
- 1:46:34Speaker 13: just I just know how to be authentically, unapologetically me,
- 1:46:37Speaker 13: just like we talked about when we sat here with
- 1:46:38Speaker 13: Jim Hensel mindset coach, when.
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: We we figured out yeah, who never gave me a
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: practical plan of how to fucking put a lot of
- 1:46:47Speaker 2: but but but it worked.
- 1:46:48Speaker 13: It worked really well for me because a lot of
- 1:46:50Speaker 13: my doubts, fears, and securities and insufficiencies in my life
- 1:46:54Speaker 13: was not knowing exactly who I was.
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: And and one of the I was the biggest.
- 1:47:00Speaker 13: I felt like I was an impostor and a faker
- 1:47:02Speaker 13: sometimes because I wasn't authentically myself all the time.
- 1:47:05Speaker 2: And it wasn't it wasn't fake.
- 1:47:07Speaker 13: It was probably fake in a positive way where I
- 1:47:09Speaker 13: would I would dummy myself down too much instead of
- 1:47:13Speaker 13: being proud of who I am. And that's just the
- 1:47:15Speaker 13: small guy from the small town mindset that I've had to.
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: Du duct tape. That little guy deserve this kind of stuff. Yeah,
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: you know.
- 1:47:22Speaker 13: And then and then you get thrust onto this platform
- 1:47:24Speaker 13: that's just a hundred times bigger than I've ever experienced,
- 1:47:29Speaker 13: and there's millions and millions and millions of people talking
- 1:47:31Speaker 13: about you. It's just a it even it makes me
- 1:47:34Speaker 13: think even more about being even more who.
- 1:47:38Speaker 2: I want to be. Just honestly, I don't know. I
- 1:47:39Speaker 2: didn't I don't rehearse any of this stuff.
- 1:47:41Speaker 13: I don't know really know what's about to come out
- 1:47:42Speaker 13: of my mouth sometimes about sound like an idiot, might
- 1:47:44Speaker 13: sound dumb, or it might sound you know whatever, or
- 1:47:47Speaker 13: like over the top, And I'm just like, this is
- 1:47:48Speaker 13: just who I am.
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I got a microphone here staring
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: at me, and I'm just gonna talk into it. Blush,
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: you had something, yeah, Mike, I was.
- 1:47:57Speaker 5: Just asking, like, I know, you talked about your stuck
- 1:47:59Speaker 5: rising with likes amongst like the respect that you're you've
- 1:48:02Speaker 5: kind of gained from when you first got in and
- 1:48:04Speaker 5: being the Dana White treatment or whatever.
- 1:48:07Speaker 2: I think amongst fans as well.
- 1:48:10Speaker 5: Does the UFC value that as much as.
- 1:48:15Speaker 7: As the fans?
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: I guess yeah, dude, it's uh.
- 1:48:18Speaker 13: Yeah, the UFC gets a bad rap in a lot
- 1:48:20Speaker 13: of a lot of ways because they are the epitome
- 1:48:24Speaker 13: of a just a phenomenal promotion. They are the number
- 1:48:29Speaker 13: one worldwide leader in mixed martial arts, not even close.
- 1:48:33Speaker 13: You know, Number two is not even in the same atmosphere.
- 1:48:36Speaker 13: So therefore, there's always people in life and in every vocation.
- 1:48:40Speaker 13: People at the lower rungs want to look up and
- 1:48:42Speaker 13: take shots at the people on the higher rungs instead
- 1:48:44Speaker 13: of trying to climb to higher rungs. So it's easy
- 1:48:47Speaker 13: for people to sit at their lower lower rung and
- 1:48:50Speaker 13: shoot shots at the UFC and say they should be
- 1:48:52Speaker 13: doing this, they should be doing that, they should be
- 1:48:54Speaker 13: paying people more. They should be taking care of their
- 1:48:55Speaker 13: fighters more. I and this is just my experience. I've
- 1:48:59Speaker 13: been treated so well by the UFC. I have felt
- 1:49:02Speaker 13: so much love from Dana White, Hunter Campbell, Sean Shelby,
- 1:49:06Speaker 13: Mick Maynard, like these guys at the very very top,
- 1:49:09Speaker 13: the guys who call all the shots and make all
- 1:49:11Speaker 13: the decisions.
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: And this is a this is a huge, huge platform.
- 1:49:15Speaker 13: The UFC is not your you know, small fight promotion
- 1:49:19Speaker 13: like some of these other fight promotions are. It is
- 1:49:22Speaker 13: I mean, Dana White when I talk to him, he's like, dude,
- 1:49:24Speaker 13: I got like celebrities that you would be. You would
- 1:49:27Speaker 13: crap your pants if you knew who was texting me
- 1:49:28Speaker 13: right now telling me like that this is the greatest
- 1:49:31Speaker 13: fight of all times. Like Dana White himself is a worldwide,
- 1:49:35Speaker 13: world renowned celebrity and that's a tough position to be in.
- 1:49:37Speaker 13: And they should be quote unquote paying fighters more, and
- 1:49:39Speaker 13: they should be doing all this other stuff. They've done
- 1:49:41Speaker 13: nothing but take care of me. I got some you know,
- 1:49:44Speaker 13: I'm banged up right now. They may as well be
- 1:49:47Speaker 13: handing me a credit card and I could just swipe
- 1:49:48Speaker 13: it at any medical place I want to right now,
- 1:49:50Speaker 13: to take care of all of my medical bills, to
- 1:49:53Speaker 13: make sure I am taking care of to make sure.
- 1:49:55Speaker 13: You know, they got insurance and they have all of
- 1:49:57Speaker 13: these different things, these things that you know wouldn't necessarily
- 1:50:00Speaker 13: be covered under insurance. They're like, we're gonna take care
- 1:50:03Speaker 13: of it. We're gonna take care of this, We're gonna
- 1:50:04Speaker 13: take care of that. That was a fight of the year.
- 1:50:06Speaker 13: Anything you need, and that's you know, and that's what
- 1:50:09Speaker 13: There's been so many stories that I have heard about
- 1:50:11Speaker 13: these guys making people millionaires because they are phenomenal fighters,
- 1:50:17Speaker 13: and a lot of this stuff goes under the radar, right,
- 1:50:20Speaker 13: A lot of the stuff flies under the radar. Dana
- 1:50:22Speaker 13: White doesn't talk about it, doesn't he doesn't want to,
- 1:50:24Speaker 13: you know, throw around the numbers and throw around this.
- 1:50:26Speaker 13: You barely ever hear him talk about it. But people
- 1:50:27Speaker 13: under the UFC banner are extremely well taken care of.
- 1:50:31Speaker 13: And you know, of course it's not you know, people
- 1:50:34Speaker 13: always compared to the NFL, they compare it to some
- 1:50:37Speaker 13: of these other.
- 1:50:37Speaker 2: Well, they can they easily. People can easily compare it
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: to boxing because they see what boxers can make and
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: they know they know you know how much of a
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: cash cow of the UFC can be, So I think,
- 1:50:47Speaker 2: you know, people will want to see the fighters get
- 1:50:49Speaker 2: a little bit more of their share for stepping in
- 1:50:52Speaker 2: the octagon. Of course, I'm yeah, I mean, I'm and
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: that's only playing Devil's Advocate. To people who are listening,
- 1:50:58Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, but like you know, they make a
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: shit ton of money and you got the boxing world.
- 1:51:02Speaker 2: You have stuff that it could relate to to where
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: it's like some of these fighters that aren't in the
- 1:51:06Speaker 2: upper tier get it. And to play Devil's Advocates to
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: people who are listening and having prejudgment saying, Dana White,
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: privilege and everything else. You've been well taken care of
- 1:51:14Speaker 2: because you've signed a deal and you're somebody that you're
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: a top five fighter in the world, so you should
- 1:51:20Speaker 2: be in these big fights coming from Bellator. But to
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: remind people, how long have you been in the fight game?
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: Thirteen years?
- 1:51:26Speaker 13: Thirteen years. I've been in a sign with the UFC
- 1:51:28Speaker 13: for thirteen months. Yeah, So to put that into perspective, right,
- 1:51:31Speaker 13: it's the fight it's the fight game in general.
- 1:51:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I have you signed and been treated well because
- 1:51:38Speaker 2: you've but you've paid a lot of your fucking dues.
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: Like you've been in the fight game for thirteen years,
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: you weren't making and getting treated this way you are
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: now because all of the dog days, all of the adversities,
- 1:51:50Speaker 2: all the weight cutting, all the monetary bullshit you have
- 1:51:53Speaker 2: to are monotonous bullshit you have to put up with
- 1:51:56Speaker 2: for over a decade, and now you're finally getting you're
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: finally reaping rewards from that. You know, just to give
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: people perspective, that's listening thinking like that's easy for you
- 1:52:06Speaker 2: to say. Because you came in as a top five fighter,
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: you've got to fight the best people right out of
- 1:52:11Speaker 2: the gate. You're getting big fights, you're getting put on
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: main cards. You know, a little bit that jealousy or
- 1:52:15Speaker 2: punching up as they would say, But you can't neglect
- 1:52:19Speaker 2: it's not like you just showed up to fight you
- 1:52:22Speaker 2: over a decade, Broe, like in other fights. It's not
- 1:52:26Speaker 2: like Dana White, he's being good to you now. But
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: you had to You had to earn where you're at.
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: It's not like Dan has always been texting you and
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: treating you well since conversation over a decade ago. Two
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: months ago, first conversation with them. But you earned that
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: because you win fights, You take care of your business,
- 1:52:42Speaker 2: You do your things day in and day out repetitively.
- 1:52:45Speaker 2: You're in and year out. And you know, I feel
- 1:52:48Speaker 2: like I'm arguing with people who are sitting there, like
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: might be listening and thinking. It's easy for me to
- 1:52:53Speaker 2: say Roman. Most guys have tried different ways to last
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: longer in bed, but thinking about baseball and thinking about
- 1:53:00Speaker 2: your boys doesn't always work. The folks that Roman and
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: the online men's health company are changing the game with
- 1:53:12Speaker 2: Roman Swipes. This secret to longer lasting sex. Roman Swipes
- 1:53:17Speaker 2: are clinically proven to make you last longer in bed.

- 1:53:52Speaker 13: Number One, the beautiful thing is there were so many
- 1:53:54Speaker 13: people that I've heard in my favorite comment and people
- 1:53:57Speaker 13: do it often, and I don't know how many people
- 1:53:59Speaker 13: think it and don't act actually, you know, posted all
- 1:54:01Speaker 13: my stuff or whatnot, or but there's been so many
- 1:54:03Speaker 13: people that are like, I didn't like Chandler when he
- 1:54:05Speaker 13: came into the UFC, but now I'm a huge fan,
- 1:54:08Speaker 13: or I really wanted to hate this guy, but for
- 1:54:11Speaker 13: some reason now I like him, and that, to me
- 1:54:13Speaker 13: is my favorite. Because I came into the UFC and
- 1:54:15Speaker 13: I said it a couple of times. I was like, y'all,
- 1:54:17Speaker 13: just wait, I promise I might not be your cup
- 1:54:19Speaker 13: of tea right now, but eventually I think we're going
- 1:54:21Speaker 13: to see eye to eye on some things.
- 1:54:23Speaker 2: So that that has worked out well.
- 1:54:24Speaker 13: And number two, not only did I think thank you
- 1:54:27Speaker 13: for saying, you know, talking about paying my dues and
- 1:54:28Speaker 13: that kind of stuff, but it was also what I
- 1:54:30Speaker 13: have done in the last thirteen months is a testament
- 1:54:33Speaker 13: to being a good employee. There will never ever be
- 1:54:38Speaker 13: a negative to being a good employee. And embracing the
- 1:54:42Speaker 13: delayed gratification, knowing that if you show up with the
- 1:54:45Speaker 13: best foot forward, you show up on time, you do
- 1:54:48Speaker 13: the work. Eventually it gets noticed. You might get passed
- 1:54:51Speaker 13: up for this promotion, you might get passed up for
- 1:54:53Speaker 13: that promotion. You might feel like you're being taken advantage
- 1:54:55Speaker 13: of it, and you need to move, You need to
- 1:54:58Speaker 13: figure something else out. But for me, I was at
- 1:55:01Speaker 13: Belatour for so long. I made myself an indispensable asset
- 1:55:05Speaker 13: to the organization. Therefore they paid me more than they
- 1:55:09Speaker 13: probably should have.
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: In order to keep me.
- 1:55:12Speaker 13: And then when I was going to leave Bellatore, they
- 1:55:15Speaker 13: were making me an offer. I had already made my decision.
- 1:55:17Speaker 13: I was going to go elsewhere. Therefore the UFC had
- 1:55:20Speaker 13: to make an offer because we want this guy because
- 1:55:23Speaker 13: of one word, reputation. The only thing that you can
- 1:55:28Speaker 13: ever ever hang your hat on, truly is your reputation.
- 1:55:31Speaker 13: You can't outrun a bad reputation, and it's really, really,
- 1:55:33Speaker 13: really hard to fix a bad reputation.
- 1:55:36Speaker 2: You and I were talking about this this morning.
- 1:55:38Speaker 13: Every single thing that you will accomplish, every single opportunity
- 1:55:40Speaker 13: that you have, always comes back to how.
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: Do people perceive you. How much do they trust you?
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: How much can they hitch their wagon to you and
- 1:55:48Speaker 2: know that that wagon is heading in the right direction.
- 1:55:50Speaker 13: Bellatore had that with me. I love Bellator. I spoke
- 1:55:54Speaker 13: to Scott Coker the other day, who runs Belator. I'm
- 1:55:56Speaker 13: always in their corner. I appreciate what they did for me.
- 1:55:59Speaker 13: I moved on now. I love being with the UFC,
- 1:56:02Speaker 13: and I've been nothing but a phenomenal employee for the
- 1:56:04Speaker 13: last thirteen months. I said yes every single time that
- 1:56:07Speaker 13: phone rang. I said yes every single time I got
- 1:56:09Speaker 13: a text message. I put my best foot forward. I
- 1:56:12Speaker 13: entertain people inside the octagon. I say the right things
- 1:56:15Speaker 13: on the microphones because that's truly how I truly feel.
- 1:56:18Speaker 13: And I'm being authentically myself and it's worked out extremely well.
- 1:56:21Speaker 13: People can call me cheesy, they can call me this,
- 1:56:23Speaker 13: they can call me that. You're never ever gonna call
- 1:56:26Speaker 13: me saying that. I like, but you're never going You
- 1:56:30Speaker 13: can call me whenever you want, but you're never ever.
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: Gonna call me undep fraud dependable, Yeah, fraud.
- 1:56:36Speaker 13: I get fraud, I get, I get politician I get,
- 1:56:38Speaker 13: and I'm just like sorry, Like the funniest thing I
- 1:56:42Speaker 13: was talking to my brother Eric about this yesterday, and
- 1:56:43Speaker 13: mixed martial arts is a different it's a different scene,
- 1:56:46Speaker 13: it's a different you know. You got if you're a
- 1:56:48Speaker 13: hardcore in May fan, you're a little bit different than
- 1:56:50Speaker 13: a tennis fan, you know, maybe even an NFS.
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: Yeah, what weird shot of tennis fans out there that listens.
- 1:56:57Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's a little bit. It's a little
- 1:56:59Speaker 2: bit more fringe than tennis.
- 1:57:04Speaker 13: But I remember one of the one of the things
- 1:57:06Speaker 13: I read that somebody wrote was like, I really like
- 1:57:08Speaker 13: Chandler and I like the way he fights, but I
- 1:57:10Speaker 13: prefer my fighters a little bit more questionable, you know.
- 1:57:14Speaker 13: And I'm like, that actually sums it up perfectly. People
- 1:57:16Speaker 13: aren't Some people aren't gonna like me because I'm not
- 1:57:19Speaker 13: questionable enough for them, too.
- 1:57:21Speaker 2: Much of an all American boy. Like when you said,
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: you know, you crap yourself, I'm thinking, bro, just say shit, man,
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: they say, oh, you ship yourself. You So he's texting me,
- 1:57:31Speaker 2: I almost pooped my pants. No, but I don't know, dude, Like, yeah, no,
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: I feel you, bro. You're not gonna be everybody's cup
- 1:57:38Speaker 2: of tea.
- 1:57:38Speaker 13: And the beautiful thing about being thrust onto a very,
- 1:57:41Speaker 13: very large stage is for a moment there, I was like, oh, dang,
- 1:57:45Speaker 13: this is rough.
- 1:57:45Speaker 2: I'm getting a lot of this and a lot of that,
- 1:57:47Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you're like, it's nice. Man.
- 1:57:49Speaker 13: I'm just like a lot of people ain't gonna like me, man,
- 1:57:52Speaker 13: but I just gotta be an F and wolf.
- 1:57:53Speaker 2: Yeah, be an F and Wolf.
- 1:57:59Speaker 6: Fan, an mm A fan yourself, Like you clearly really
- 1:58:02Speaker 6: care about fighting as a whole and pushing that forward.
- 1:58:04Speaker 6: I think you've done a great job with that.
- 1:58:07Speaker 7: When you see things like your content after the fight.
- 1:58:09Speaker 6: Your conversation with Gaechee, you guys are kind of like
- 1:58:12Speaker 6: chummy buddies at that point, and then also looking at
- 1:58:15Speaker 6: like Canelo and Plant after the fight the other night
- 1:58:18Speaker 6: also had a nice little moment, and that content like
- 1:58:20Speaker 6: gets out there.
- 1:58:21Speaker 2: Do you think that that getting out into the.
- 1:58:23Speaker 6: Public and then being embraced by the public is a
- 1:58:26Speaker 6: sign of kind of like fight culture maturing and people
- 1:58:30Speaker 6: being able to humanize the fighters instead of looking at
- 1:58:33Speaker 6: it as kind of like a WWE thing where it's
- 1:58:35Speaker 6: all hype and promo and hatred and all that type
- 1:58:38Speaker 6: of stuff.
- 1:58:38Speaker 13: I do, and that's a really great question, because because yeah,
- 1:58:41Speaker 13: there's there's certain there's a certain place that you have
- 1:58:44Speaker 13: to put yourself into mentally to go and fight another
- 1:58:48Speaker 13: human being. Not whether you were going to fight him
- 1:58:50Speaker 13: here in the here at the bus stop and there's
- 1:58:52Speaker 13: nobody watching. There's that's much different than millions and millions
- 1:58:57Speaker 13: and millions of people watching. But you have to put
- 1:58:58Speaker 13: yourself into that spot. And he is trying to take
- 1:59:02Speaker 13: away my world ranking, he's trying to take away my
- 1:59:04Speaker 13: title shot, He's trying to take away food off the
- 1:59:06Speaker 13: table from my family and what I want to do
- 1:59:09Speaker 13: in the sports. So there's so many things going on,
- 1:59:10Speaker 13: and then all of a sudden, as we go back
- 1:59:12Speaker 13: to the respect thing, It's like, man, when you go
- 1:59:15Speaker 13: when you have a fight like that, and you know,
- 1:59:16Speaker 13: Canelo and Plant went eleven rounds or whatnot.
- 1:59:19Speaker 2: It was a good fight. Me and Gagey was obviously
- 1:59:21Speaker 2: a great fight. There's just so much respect.
- 1:59:23Speaker 13: And I do think when people see that because I
- 1:59:27Speaker 13: think I'm this way, like I don't like I'm a
- 1:59:30Speaker 13: non confrontational person. Like if we gotta we gotta hash
- 1:59:34Speaker 13: it out, we gotta hash it out. We can be
- 1:59:35Speaker 13: black and white right now, we can figure this out,
- 1:59:37Speaker 13: and we can we can hash it out just in
- 1:59:39Speaker 13: all different aspects of the world. But I don't want
- 1:59:41Speaker 13: people to dislike me. I don't want to have a
- 1:59:43Speaker 13: tiff or a problem with anybody ever. And I think
- 1:59:47Speaker 13: that is human nature. I think by by human nature,
- 1:59:50Speaker 13: we are we were created for relationships and created for
- 1:59:53Speaker 13: good relationships, just human beings in general. So I think
- 1:59:57Speaker 13: it plays to the aspect of use the humanizing. I
- 2:00:00Speaker 13: think that's a perfect word, because we are just human
- 2:00:03Speaker 13: beings and it's hard for people. There's no way people
- 2:00:06Speaker 13: are thinking like that whenever they're saying some of the
- 2:00:08Speaker 13: things about me, when they say things about my wife,
- 2:00:10Speaker 13: my son, that my fights, my this, that my abilities,
- 2:00:14Speaker 13: my glass chin, like, there's just no way that they're
- 2:00:16Speaker 13: thinking that. They're thinking about that. I'm just a human
- 2:00:19Speaker 13: being that I lay my head on the pillow at
- 2:00:21Speaker 13: night every single night, and I put these pants on
- 2:00:23Speaker 13: one pant leg at a time, just like you, just
- 2:00:25Speaker 13: like everybody out there. There's no way that they're thinking that.
- 2:00:28Speaker 13: And of course that's social media. But as a whole
- 2:00:31Speaker 13: God created us four relationships for community, for fellowship, and yeah, dude,
- 2:00:36Speaker 13: I freaking wanted to. I wanted to separate Justin Gatsche
- 2:00:40Speaker 13: from consciousness. I wanted the ref to pull me off
- 2:00:42Speaker 13: of him. I wanted to jump up on top of
- 2:00:43Speaker 13: the cage. I wanted to win at his expense. But
- 2:00:46Speaker 13: as soon as the fight was over and we were
- 2:00:48Speaker 13: outside that last bell, he's just another human being trying
- 2:00:52Speaker 13: to who's on the exact same journey as I am.
- 2:00:54Speaker 8: You know.
- 2:00:54Speaker 13: So I think that part of the sport is and
- 2:00:58Speaker 13: that's why it's so beautiful, going back to what the
- 2:01:00Speaker 13: UFC has done and taken this sport from a fringe
- 2:01:03Speaker 13: sport that just you know, twenty years ago John McCain
- 2:01:06Speaker 13: called a.
- 2:01:07Speaker 2: Human cock fighting.
- 2:01:08Speaker 13: Now into on ESPN being talked about with the NFL
- 2:01:13Speaker 13: and the NBA and the NHL and these big sports.
- 2:01:17Speaker 13: Now people are seeing more and more in the sport
- 2:01:19Speaker 13: itself is cleaning up more. I use myself as an example.
- 2:01:22Speaker 13: I graduated from the University of Missouri. I chose, I chose.
- 2:01:26Speaker 13: I graduated from the University of Nebraska.
- 2:01:29Speaker 2: I graduated from.
- 2:01:30Speaker 13: I graduated from the University of Missouri, and I chose
- 2:01:34Speaker 13: to fight, not because I wanted to fight, you know,
- 2:01:38Speaker 13: I wanted to keep competing I could have went straight
- 2:01:40Speaker 13: into doing real estate and you know, doing people's finances,
- 2:01:43Speaker 13: but I wanted to fight.
- 2:01:44Speaker 2: I wanted to keep competing.
- 2:01:46Speaker 13: So that's a beautiful aspect of the sport and it
- 2:01:48Speaker 13: does humanize it a little bit more. And that's why
- 2:01:51Speaker 13: people love the sport man and that's why I love,
- 2:01:52Speaker 13: like even your message just to you're just a lunch
- 2:01:55Speaker 13: paal kid, a hard working kid from the from the Midwest,
- 2:01:57Speaker 13: because that's that's what I am, That's what I will
- 2:01:59Speaker 13: always be.
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: My dad wore you know, white.
- 2:02:02Speaker 13: Georgia boots, white pants and georgia and my white pants
- 2:02:05Speaker 13: and Georgia boots his entire life.
- 2:02:07Speaker 2: Yeah, he would always say that, like, just give me
- 2:02:08Speaker 2: a second. I haven't even taken my work boots off yet.
- 2:02:10Speaker 2: You know. He always said that every single day, every
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: single day.
- 2:02:15Speaker 13: I'm just hungry, dude, Like I'm a kid dad, you
- 2:02:19Speaker 13: know I do.
- 2:02:21Speaker 2: Uh. And thinking about your question to Alex, it's like
- 2:02:24Speaker 2: you have these mixtures of the fight game now where
- 2:02:26Speaker 2: you have like social media people and influencers fighting, and
- 2:02:30Speaker 2: you know, people are just trying to show and entertain
- 2:02:35Speaker 2: and build up hype around a fight and it's kind
- 2:02:37Speaker 2: of fugazi because when the fight's over, people start talking
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: about money that's made on the fight, and oh they
- 2:02:43Speaker 2: they they're the actual winner because you know, Logan fault Mayweather.
- 2:02:47Speaker 2: Logan Paul fought Mayweather and made it out Mayweather was
- 2:02:50Speaker 2: trying to carry him the whole fight. And I thy
- 2:02:52Speaker 2: feel like everybody gets mad about that stuff. But seeing
- 2:02:54Speaker 2: like genuine ass fighting and people building it up and
- 2:02:58Speaker 2: hyping it up and living up to that hype and
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: then showing the appreciation of respect afterwards, I think it's
- 2:03:03Speaker 2: doing the sport. So I think UFC has been crushing it. Dude.
- 2:03:06Speaker 6: Well, it's like you see, like if Brady plays Rogers,
- 2:03:09Speaker 6: you see them hugging, embracing talk afterwards, and like we've
- 2:03:11Speaker 6: always looked at that moment as like, Wow, such mutual respect,
- 2:03:15Speaker 6: And I feel like that's been showcased more often now
- 2:03:17Speaker 6: in martial arts, yeah, boxing, fighting, et cetera. Like I
- 2:03:21Speaker 6: think that's that's huge.
- 2:03:22Speaker 13: Well, that's what and it's the two extremes And it's
- 2:03:24Speaker 13: kind of like what we talked about too. When one
- 2:03:27Speaker 13: of the things that I kind of figured out one
- 2:03:28Speaker 13: of one of the things that if I could say
- 2:03:32Speaker 13: from an outsider's perspective. What I kind of what I
- 2:03:35Speaker 13: do well is that I live on both ends of
- 2:03:37Speaker 13: the spectrum. Like if you meet me and we're just
- 2:03:39Speaker 13: hanging out like you, I hope that you see joy
- 2:03:42Speaker 13: and happiness and contentment and compassion. But then inside the
- 2:03:48Speaker 13: confines of mixed martial arts, I hope you see a nasty, scary,
- 2:03:53Speaker 13: almost deranged individual. And I live on both of those
- 2:03:57Speaker 13: ends of the spectrum. So to be able to have
- 2:04:00Speaker 13: that range as a human being is I think something
- 2:04:04Speaker 13: that something that people either.
- 2:04:05Speaker 2: They're drawn to it.
- 2:04:07Speaker 13: They either they admire it, maybe they dislike it. I
- 2:04:09Speaker 13: don't know, but I think it's it's an interesting aspect.
- 2:04:12Speaker 13: And then that same thing, like Tom Brady is a
- 2:04:15Speaker 13: a competitor and Aaron Rodgers is a competitor. Inside those
- 2:04:19Speaker 13: four quarters, you don't want to be on the other
- 2:04:22Speaker 13: side of the ball. But afterwards, all right, man, well, hey,
- 2:04:25Speaker 13: go go home and kiss your kids and enjoy your life.
- 2:04:28Speaker 6: You know, what would you have said if Joe got
- 2:04:31Speaker 6: to interview you after that fight It looked like they
- 2:04:32Speaker 6: were going and they cut away.
- 2:04:34Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I think I would have I definitely
- 2:04:36Speaker 13: would have said, you know, hats off to Justin Gatchee.
- 2:04:40Speaker 13: I definitely would have thanked the fans at Madison Square Garden.
- 2:04:43Speaker 13: It really was one of the highlights of my life.
- 2:04:46Speaker 13: And then I would have I probably would have called
- 2:04:48Speaker 13: out Connor.
- 2:04:50Speaker 2: Yeah, so what's next?
- 2:04:51Speaker 3: Man?
- 2:04:51Speaker 2: I saw you guys going back and forth on Twitter. Well, see,
- 2:04:53Speaker 2: I mean, you got you gotta use that out for
- 2:04:55Speaker 2: he said, I would have called ot Connor like acting
- 2:04:57Speaker 2: like he wins the fight too. Connor your next motherfucker.
- 2:05:00Speaker 3: Exactly right.
- 2:05:01Speaker 13: I mean you don't really have that much of a legacy,
- 2:05:04Speaker 13: you know. But but you guys exchange and went back
- 2:05:07Speaker 13: and forth on Twitter. Well, what's what's next for Mike Chandler. No,
- 2:05:10Speaker 13: I mean, I mean, obviously, that's a fight that people
- 2:05:12Speaker 13: are talking about. That's a fight that that's a fight
- 2:05:14Speaker 13: that's that's being buzzed all over the internet. Connor is
- 2:05:16Speaker 13: coming back from an injury.
- 2:05:18Speaker 3: You know.
- 2:05:18Speaker 13: I wish him well in his recovery. I think he,
- 2:05:21Speaker 13: you know, he needs to come back and fight somebody
- 2:05:23Speaker 13: in the in that you know, top five area. That's
- 2:05:26Speaker 13: That's where I'm at. I'm gonna I'm gonna take a
- 2:05:27Speaker 13: little bit of time off obviously, so I think the
- 2:05:29Speaker 13: timeline works out well and I and it's funny too.
- 2:05:32Speaker 13: My motivation behind wanting to fight Connor, which everybody wants
- 2:05:35Speaker 13: to fight Connor, but I think my motivation is a
- 2:05:37Speaker 13: little bit different. Of course, people talk about it's a
- 2:05:39Speaker 13: money fight, it's the Red Panny Knight, But man, when
- 2:05:42Speaker 13: we talk about how much I love this sport and
- 2:05:45Speaker 13: why I love this sport, it's epic moments at epic
- 2:05:48Speaker 13: venues with millions and millions of eyeballs watching, like I
- 2:05:52Speaker 13: want to compete. I want to compete against Connor McGregor
- 2:05:54Speaker 13: because of what he brings to a fight, what he
- 2:05:57Speaker 13: brings to a fight week, what he brings to a
- 2:05:59Speaker 13: training camp, to what he will bring out of you
- 2:06:02Speaker 13: through the experience. There's no doubt that he revolutionized the
- 2:06:05Speaker 13: sport of mixed martial arts. Mixed martial arts, where the
- 2:06:08Speaker 13: UFC is, where mixed martial arts is as a whole
- 2:06:11Speaker 13: on a world stage, is where it is because of
- 2:06:15Speaker 13: partly because of who Connor McGregor has been. He's a
- 2:06:17Speaker 13: worldwide superstar now combat sports icon. So that's my motivation
- 2:06:23Speaker 13: behind obviously wanting that fight. Of course, providing him for
- 2:06:26Speaker 13: my family is very important to me. But it's not monetary.
- 2:06:30Speaker 13: It's more.
- 2:06:31Speaker 2: It's it's more the epic proportions of how big the
- 2:06:35Speaker 2: fight would be. It's more than what people are perceiving.
- 2:06:38Speaker 2: You call them counter out for no, of course, because
- 2:06:40Speaker 2: that's where everybody goes.
- 2:06:41Speaker 13: Everybody's like, Okay, who's who's the You sound thirsty for
- 2:06:44Speaker 13: a payday and thirsty for this, and of course yeah,
- 2:06:46Speaker 13: like I'm I'm trying to fight counter Yeah, like any
- 2:06:49Speaker 13: one of us will fight. But but you know, it's in,
- 2:06:54Speaker 13: you know, and there's there's this I think there's a
- 2:06:55Speaker 13: mutual respect. And even him, even his tweet to me was,
- 2:06:58Speaker 13: you know, hey, this is a fight that I'm that
- 2:07:00Speaker 13: I'm interested in, you know, in the future. You know,
- 2:07:03Speaker 13: well done the other day, Good job, Mike, you know,
- 2:07:05Speaker 13: like and even even right there, if you look at
- 2:07:07Speaker 13: the way that Connor speaks to other people on social media,
- 2:07:10Speaker 13: it's always some kind of it's always some kind of trash,
- 2:07:12Speaker 13: very confrontation. It's always some kind of confrontation. He knows
- 2:07:15Speaker 13: he's not really gonna get that with me. But once again,
- 2:07:19Speaker 13: living on both ends of the spectrum, we can be
- 2:07:21Speaker 13: respectful of each other. We can we can compliment each
- 2:07:23Speaker 13: other and what we've accomplished. But he is a savage
- 2:07:26Speaker 13: inside the octagon. I'm a savage inside the octagon. When
- 2:07:28Speaker 13: the cage door closes and Bruce Buffer says it's time,
- 2:07:31Speaker 13: it's time to go out there, and we're gonna we're
- 2:07:33Speaker 13: gonna put on a show for the fans and sell
- 2:07:35Speaker 13: a ton of pay per views. So I think I've,
- 2:07:38Speaker 13: you know, put myself in a position where people want
- 2:07:40Speaker 13: to see me fight. Obviously, everybody wants to see Connor fight,
- 2:07:43Speaker 13: so we should probably share the octagon together.
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: How do you, uh, how would you approach fighting somebody
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: like Connor? You standing up with him like you did
- 2:07:50Speaker 2: Gae Chee, Because my man's got some certified hands. As
- 2:07:53Speaker 2: a Connor McGregor fan, myself and a Michael Chandler fan,
- 2:07:56Speaker 2: how do you approach triting somebody Connor?
- 2:07:57Speaker 13: Connor's got certified hands. He's extremely well at managing the distance.
- 2:08:01Speaker 13: He's his south Paul bounces, bounces in and out really
- 2:08:04Speaker 13: really well. He counters shots really really well. The greatest,
- 2:08:07Speaker 13: the greatest counter shot sequence I've ever seen in my
- 2:08:10Speaker 13: entire life, was coincidentally at Madison Square Garden when Connor
- 2:08:13Speaker 13: McGregor became the champ. Champ won the one to fifty
- 2:08:15Speaker 13: five belt off of Eddie Alvarez. When Eddie threw that
- 2:08:17Speaker 13: overhand right Connor stepped back and hit him with a
- 2:08:20Speaker 13: three or four piece and Eddie just Eddie went down
- 2:08:22Speaker 13: and just bobble He bobbleheaded him and went down and
- 2:08:26Speaker 13: raised up two belts. So you got to watch his Yeah,
- 2:08:29Speaker 13: this this sequence right here when when hey, you guys
- 2:08:32Speaker 13: are fast with the with the highlights man Eddie, Eddie
- 2:08:34Speaker 13: throws that throws that right hand over the top after
- 2:08:36Speaker 13: he had already been stunned a couple of times. Connor's
- 2:08:40Speaker 13: just really really good at boom boom boom that four
- 2:08:43Speaker 13: shots right there, sets back and hits him with that.
- 2:08:46Speaker 13: That left hand can put anybody out on the entire planet.
- 2:08:49Speaker 13: I think my right hand can put anybody out on
- 2:08:50Speaker 13: the entire planet. So it's a perfect I think it's
- 2:08:53Speaker 13: a perfect fight. It's it's a it's a different approach
- 2:08:57Speaker 13: when you're fighting a guy like Connor, because fighting a
- 2:09:00Speaker 13: guy like Gaichie who loves to brawl is a much
- 2:09:03Speaker 13: easier than a guy who you're really afraid to sometimes
- 2:09:06Speaker 13: throw a punch at because of the shot that you
- 2:09:10Speaker 13: don't see coming as you're pulling your hand back. So
- 2:09:14Speaker 13: that's you know, you definitely got to be on your
- 2:09:16Speaker 13: p's and q's with the striking.
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: But then Connor.
- 2:09:19Speaker 13: The coolest thing about Connor too is everybody always talks
- 2:09:21Speaker 13: about how bad of a wrestler he is, how bad
- 2:09:23Speaker 13: of a grappler he is. Chad Mendez took him down
- 2:09:25Speaker 13: a couple of times, he got taken down a couple
- 2:09:27Speaker 13: of times in the second DS fight, he got taken
- 2:09:30Speaker 13: down numerous times and other fights, and he has always
- 2:09:33Speaker 13: kept his composure, his mental his mental awareness capacity and
- 2:09:38Speaker 13: stability inside of the octagon, inside the confines of competition,
- 2:09:42Speaker 13: especially with how heightened the stakes and the sense senses
- 2:09:46Speaker 13: are inside of his fights while everybody in the entire
- 2:09:50Speaker 13: world is watching.
- 2:09:51Speaker 2: It's something to behold.
- 2:09:52Speaker 1: Man.
- 2:09:53Speaker 13: He's a different level of competitor, and anybody who discredits
- 2:09:55Speaker 13: him because he's lost fights is just either a casual
- 2:09:58Speaker 13: or a Connor hater.
- 2:09:59Speaker 2: To be honest, but I love my weight division. I
- 2:10:03Speaker 2: can sit here and talk to you for an hour
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: on you've got a stage light division.
- 2:10:06Speaker 13: Each one of the guys that I could fight, each
- 2:10:08Speaker 13: one of the guys inside the top ten, because I
- 2:10:10Speaker 13: just think the lightweight division in the UFC is the
- 2:10:12Speaker 13: most electrifying, most exciting division on the planet, and I'm
- 2:10:14Speaker 13: glad to be a part of it.
- 2:10:16Speaker 2: And uh, I think people just uh, I think people
- 2:10:21Speaker 2: don't are tired of seeing Connor get the like. I mean,
- 2:10:24Speaker 2: he's in a position to pick his fights, but he's
- 2:10:26Speaker 2: picking picking his fights, and people made the Uh. I
- 2:10:29Speaker 2: want to say, it was the fact of his last
- 2:10:31Speaker 2: fight that he had once since the last presidency or
- 2:10:33Speaker 2: something like that, and so it's the fact that he
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: keeps kind of just getting to be in the mix.
- 2:10:38Speaker 13: Well once again, it's not it's not always once again.
- 2:10:41Speaker 13: How it's not how many times you win you lose.
- 2:10:45Speaker 13: It's not always your performances, how you make people feel
- 2:10:47Speaker 13: he is he is. He has captured the attention of
- 2:10:52Speaker 13: the entire of the entire world, let alone the entire
- 2:10:56Speaker 13: martial arts world. Like he's like Mike Tyson back in
- 2:10:59Speaker 13: the Night Man, Like you know, maybe he did some
- 2:11:02Speaker 13: questionable things. Maybe he got accused of this and accused
- 2:11:04Speaker 13: of baby. Maybe I don't know, just I don't and
- 2:11:10Speaker 13: I don't know my I don't know my history whatever,
- 2:11:12Speaker 13: but but there was something it was. It was must watch,
- 2:11:16Speaker 13: must see, can't miss TV like it's and that's what
- 2:11:19Speaker 13: he has done.
- 2:11:20Speaker 2: You know.
- 2:11:20Speaker 13: He he throws out a tweet right now about what
- 2:11:22Speaker 13: he ate for lunch and it's and it's retweeted a
- 2:11:24Speaker 13: million times, you know.
- 2:11:26Speaker 2: So I don't know.
- 2:11:27Speaker 13: It's just my perspective. And I also I think I
- 2:11:29Speaker 13: just once again, I'm a zoomer. I'm a zoom outer guy,
- 2:11:31Speaker 13: you know, Like I like, I like that analogy. I'm
- 2:11:33Speaker 13: just like zoomed out instead of sitting here being like, oh,
- 2:11:36Speaker 13: I would trash him and I would beat him and
- 2:11:37Speaker 13: I would be and it's like to me, I'm just
- 2:11:39Speaker 13: like I want to.
- 2:11:41Speaker 2: I just enjoy the sport. I like the sport. I
- 2:11:43Speaker 2: like I like what it has afforded me. I owe
- 2:11:46Speaker 2: a lot of my life to the sport of mixed
- 2:11:48Speaker 2: martial arts and you know, the life that I get
- 2:11:50Speaker 2: to live with my wife and son.
- 2:11:51Speaker 13: So I enjoy it and I enjoy all the guys
- 2:11:54Speaker 13: to get to competing against. And I love fighting for
- 2:11:55Speaker 13: the UFC and I hope, uh twenty twenty two is
- 2:11:59Speaker 13: the biggest here yet.
- 2:12:00Speaker 2: That's I love it. Dude, should we get JP on

- 2:15:05Speaker 2: talking to Will about that this morning. Dude. Of course,
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: I remember I said you better go, you better go

- 2:15:15Speaker 13: a ringing endorsement, no joking.
- 2:15:21Speaker 8: No, that is that was just like a wild, wild,
- 2:15:23Speaker 8: full circle moment. That's I'm super bummed. I couldn't be
- 2:15:27Speaker 8: there today to talk to you again.
- 2:15:29Speaker 2: Sorry, bro, you're stuck with me. I'll be on the
- 2:15:32Speaker 2: bus till the cow j with the first fan question.
- 2:15:34Speaker 2: You remember me that one time?
- 2:15:36Speaker 8: Dude?
- 2:15:37Speaker 2: You remember that one time? Yeah?
- 2:15:39Speaker 13: Man, yeah, that was out in Albuquerque, New Mexico, right
- 2:15:42Speaker 13: at that uh.
- 2:15:44Speaker 8: Spot on Yeah, yeah, but yeah, I don't know what
- 2:15:48Speaker 8: y'all covered.
- 2:15:50Speaker 3: One of the first things on my mind, uh about
- 2:15:53Speaker 3: the fight is like the difference in atmosphere from the
- 2:15:58Speaker 3: title fight to to this one.
- 2:16:00Speaker 8: Did you already talk about that?
- 2:16:02Speaker 2: Yeah, you covered it unless you got on it.
- 2:16:06Speaker 13: Not actually to compare the two, because you you would
- 2:16:08Speaker 13: think that a title fight is bigger, you know, of
- 2:16:11Speaker 13: course the title implications, the world championship was bigger, but honestly,
- 2:16:16Speaker 13: this one felt bigger, you know, fighting at Madison Square Garden.
- 2:16:18Speaker 13: When you get into the sport of mixed martial arts,
- 2:16:20Speaker 13: you want big fights with big opponents at big venues,
- 2:16:23Speaker 13: and that doesn't get any bigger than Madison Square Garden.
- 2:16:26Speaker 13: So this one was this one felt different, and I
- 2:16:29Speaker 13: was actually telling the boys like I didn't hear my
- 2:16:31Speaker 13: coaches one moment during the entire fight. Maybe a little
- 2:16:34Speaker 13: bit during the you know when whenever I was on
- 2:16:36Speaker 13: the stool obviously between rounds, but it was so loud
- 2:16:39Speaker 13: in there. Every single move that we maked, every made,
- 2:16:41Speaker 13: every single moment of the fight, people were just screaming
- 2:16:44Speaker 13: like crazy and could not hear a thing. So I
- 2:16:47Speaker 13: was just like, well, I guess I'll just I guess
- 2:16:49Speaker 13: I'm on an autopilot. I guess I'm out here alone
- 2:16:51Speaker 13: by myself in front of these thirty thousand people.
- 2:16:54Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's incredible. And then the next one, I know,
- 2:16:58Speaker 3: like you know, all of the different like media outlets
- 2:17:03Speaker 3: are like, obviously the fight was electric. They're like Michael
- 2:17:06Speaker 3: Taylor tried to out gate Chee justin gae Chee. Was
- 2:17:11Speaker 3: was that like the smart move for him to do?
- 2:17:13Speaker 3: It was entertained for the fans? Blah blah blah. In
- 2:17:16Speaker 3: my opinion, it's like, well he pretty much almost did
- 2:17:19Speaker 3: Alt gateseye justin gateseye. So but do you kind of like,
- 2:17:24Speaker 3: I don't know, what are you kind of your thoughts
- 2:17:25Speaker 3: on that.
- 2:17:26Speaker 2: Now, it's a good question in good perspective. I do
- 2:17:28Speaker 2: think I Outgate out Geatechee, justin Geechee.
- 2:17:30Speaker 8: I was.
- 2:17:30Speaker 13: I was telling Will here too, Like there was moments
- 2:17:33Speaker 13: in the fight where you know, of course, the you know,
- 2:17:35Speaker 13: bring it on, you know, shaking my head, eating shots,
- 2:17:38Speaker 13: like those things were ill advised and they were entertaining
- 2:17:41Speaker 13: and not the best path to victory. But they were
- 2:17:43Speaker 13: also a waste of mental warfare as well. You know,
- 2:17:46Speaker 13: Justin Getzche does a really good job of breaking people,
- 2:17:49Speaker 13: breaking them down physically, breaking them down, mentally and spiritually
- 2:17:53Speaker 13: as well. So I think there was moments in the
- 2:17:55Speaker 13: fight where I looked at him and thought, dang, dude,
- 2:17:58Speaker 13: you know you're in a fight right now. You know,
- 2:18:00Speaker 13: you know that I'm different than a lot of the
- 2:18:02Speaker 13: guys that you have fought before. So that was definitely
- 2:18:05Speaker 13: part of it.
- 2:18:07Speaker 2: I think.
- 2:18:07Speaker 13: You know, just because I lost the fight doesn't mean
- 2:18:09Speaker 13: that I didn't out Gee Justin Gachee.
- 2:18:12Speaker 2: You know. So it was it was good, you know,
- 2:18:14Speaker 2: it was this man, Mike sounds like me after a
- 2:18:16Speaker 2: Nebraska loss or something, were brainwashed we win every game
- 2:18:22Speaker 2: we lost, you know, what I think I did out
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: justin Gee, this this lost, this lost feels like a
- 2:18:29Speaker 2: win in a lot of ways. So you know, keep
- 2:18:32Speaker 2: on with the training. The train ain't stopping anytime soon,
- 2:18:34Speaker 2: So let's go. You you'll hear the you'll hear the
- 2:18:36Speaker 2: podj P. The perspective is always as always with Mike Chandler,
- 2:18:39Speaker 2: wild and good, too, admirable. I guess.
- 2:18:48Speaker 3: I can't see y'all don't having a tough time. I
- 2:18:50Speaker 3: feel like Will is just making fun of me.
- 2:18:51Speaker 8: No, he's not.
- 2:18:52Speaker 2: He's making Yeah, there's too many going on right now.
- 2:18:56Speaker 2: He's making fun of me. He's not making fun of you.
- 2:18:57Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 2:19:03Speaker 8: When can we get well in your gym and we
- 2:19:05Speaker 8: can put him through some faring stuff and we would
- 2:19:07Speaker 8: love to see.
- 2:19:08Speaker 13: It, dude, I think uh, next week, rough and rowdy?
- 2:19:12Speaker 13: Yeah no, Actually, Rumble on the Row. Rumble on the
- 2:19:15Speaker 13: Row is in like February March is a charity boxing event.
- 2:19:18Speaker 2: Yes, get warmed up for Rumble in the Row. I'm
- 2:19:20Speaker 2: gonna make a phone call right now. Actually, well, Tay,
- 2:19:22Speaker 2: you take it easy. I've got to give some shape.
- 2:19:26Speaker 2: You're right, are you? My trainer? Yeah? Okay, Now we
- 2:19:29Speaker 2: were texting the other night, and you're gonna be on
- 2:19:31Speaker 2: the road here.
- 2:19:34Speaker 13: I'll FaceTime, I'll face time in my house. He how'd
- 2:19:38Speaker 13: that look, Mike Man? I was just shadow boxing up
- 2:19:41Speaker 13: on the roof and my suit. Yeah, the row will
- 2:19:47Speaker 13: Compton versus.
- 2:19:48Speaker 2: But anyway to get in his uh gym and train,
- 2:19:50Speaker 2: we can do that. I think that that would be good.
- 2:19:52Speaker 2: That'd be good. No free shout fighting shape.
- 2:19:54Speaker 13: No free shouts Nashville MMA, no free shout sho Nashville.
- 2:19:57Speaker 2: M m A got anything else? JP?
- 2:20:02Speaker 8: What's that?
- 2:20:03Speaker 2: You got anything else?
- 2:20:06Speaker 3: One last question would be if you fight Connor McGregor,
- 2:20:09Speaker 3: are we is there? We're gonna see something similar like
- 2:20:12Speaker 3: we solid gae chee or what's the word?
- 2:20:14Speaker 13: Well, Connor's a little bit Connor's a lot more calculated,
- 2:20:17Speaker 13: a lot less uh, a lot less uh in the
- 2:20:20Speaker 13: fire fight violence. Uh, you know a little bit more,
- 2:20:24Speaker 13: a little more diplomatic with the way that he fights.
- 2:20:27Speaker 13: So you got to be and he's a lot faster.
- 2:20:29Speaker 13: I think he's a lot faster and a lot more
- 2:20:31Speaker 13: precise than Justin Gaegee. Not to take anything away from
- 2:20:34Speaker 13: Justin Geechee. Connor's just that good. So you know me though, man,
- 2:20:38Speaker 13: I'm all gased, no breaks, getting his face uh, you know,
- 2:20:42Speaker 13: put him into a fight real quick.
- 2:20:43Speaker 2: So we'll see, all right. We good to go, Signing
