- 0:28Speaker 1: the ones that you could take out or is it? Okay?
- 0:30Speaker 1: That's good because that's such a commitment. You know, one
- 0:34Speaker 1: day you got to go to the White House. Right,
- 0:38Speaker 1: you got diamonds and gold in your teeth. That's crazy.
- 0:41Speaker 1: It might be your first time. You know. How does
- 0:43Speaker 1: it fit? It's like like a retainer. Yeah, so they
- 0:46Speaker 1: fit it, they mold it.
- 0:48Speaker 3: I got it done in Dallas actually, and they just
- 0:51Speaker 3: fit it, mould to your teeth and then.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Pop them in. It's almost like we're in a retainer.
- 0:55Speaker 3: Texas loves grills.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Yeah, they love grills. We gotta give him show.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Yeah, Paulna hook us up, just going hah yeah, I'm
- 1:05Speaker 3: not sure. I just I remember what was the one
- 1:09Speaker 3: episode with THEO and you asked about the headphones and
- 1:13Speaker 3: he was he said something like a it's like sitting
- 1:15Speaker 3: there with the with the with the condom and uh
- 1:19Speaker 3: and she's just looking at you or I forget exactly
- 1:22Speaker 3: how the joke goes, but it was.
- 1:23Speaker 1: It was funny.
- 1:24Speaker 3: It's like one of theo Van's greatest moments where he
- 1:27Speaker 3: says all these things. He was like when I when
- 1:29Speaker 3: I feel like saying it, I just write it down.
- 1:32Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw this clip, but.
- 1:33Speaker 1: It's I mean, I'm sure I was there when it happened,
- 1:36Speaker 1: but he says so many ridiculous things I can't remember
- 1:40Speaker 1: over here.
- 1:41Speaker 3: How does he put it on?
- 1:45Speaker 1: I felt like alone here headphone? It is weird.
- 1:49Speaker 3: It's like when you put a condom on it and
- 1:51Speaker 3: the other person is just still looking at their phone
- 1:53Speaker 3: like this is weird.
- 1:56Speaker 1: And the person I mean is a woman to tell yeah, well.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Yes there is. Yeah, that's why we said that the
- 2:07Speaker 3: headphone was that. I just that just came to my head, like.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Immediately, yeah. I sometimes I have him off, sometimes I
- 2:12Speaker 1: have him on, but it's better to have him on.
- 2:15Speaker 1: It locks it locks you in, you know, I feel that.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Did you watch the UFC this past weekend, the Apex.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I watched the main event comin Bro the main event.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Soul killed is legit. I wasn't too sure about him,
- 2:30Speaker 1: but now I'm very sure. As a man who has
- 2:33Speaker 1: one of the best back controls in the sport, you
- 2:36Speaker 1: you had to appreciate that back control.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Oh, it's amazing. And he took him down, which I
- 2:39Speaker 3: was kind of surprised. I was like, why is he
- 2:41Speaker 3: going for to take down crazy proving a point?
- 2:43Speaker 1: Proving a point because the stand up is so sick too. Yeah,
- 2:46Speaker 1: that guy is so complete man, and do that to Gamrock.
- 2:49Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna say. He's a sick grappler
- 2:52Speaker 3: in his own right. I thought he was going to
- 2:53Speaker 3: get out that one, that one moment where he had
- 2:55Speaker 3: the leg uh hiked up, had the angle and all
- 2:59Speaker 3: he had to do was swimming, But he kept it
- 3:01Speaker 3: too long, allowed him to hit the ground and he
- 3:02Speaker 3: was able to readjust and locking that figured four and
- 3:05Speaker 3: it was over well.
- 3:06Speaker 1: When he reached over and grabbed the far arm and
- 3:09Speaker 1: used that to hang on to the back. Yes, that
- 3:11Speaker 1: is slick. Yes, that was slick. He was. He was
- 3:15Speaker 1: fucking slick man, and just just very high level. Everything
- 3:20Speaker 1: was like like an elevated level. I was. I had
- 3:22Speaker 1: a very high opinion of him before the fight. But
- 3:24Speaker 1: now I'm like, oh, this dude could do it. He knows,
- 3:28Speaker 1: he knows.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Bull. Yeah, I was really surprised with that and the
- 3:31Speaker 3: fact that it went so quick. All his fights have
- 3:33Speaker 3: been in the first round.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Then these scrambles, these scrambles from this position. Now, generally
- 3:39Speaker 1: in this position, it's so hard to keep back control.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Right here, grabbing the arm and this adjustment.
- 3:44Speaker 3: Bro, that's that's really skillful as a seatbelt. Yeah, just
- 3:49Speaker 3: the way he's able to adjust it. Gamros trying everything,
- 3:51Speaker 3: but once he gets to that position, it's over. You're back.
- 3:55Speaker 3: You're back in his uh backpack, and he's got a
- 3:58Speaker 3: lot going on.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Man. He's all real tall for the weight class, a
- 4:02Speaker 1: huge over six feet tall, long, excellent reach, excellent strike.
- 4:07Speaker 1: The other thing that he did that was really slick.
- 4:09Speaker 1: He pretended to get up off of his back. So
- 4:13Speaker 1: Gamrod explodes and he exposes his neck right there. Watch
- 4:16Speaker 1: that back that up just to touch what look at that?
- 4:19Speaker 1: This is so slick like. Look, he's hanging on his back.
- 4:22Speaker 1: They're struggling, and he said, let me just sit up,
- 4:24Speaker 1: and he'll sit up bam right there. That's so nasty.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Slick as fuck. Man, that's so slick. That's such a
- 4:33Speaker 1: good sneaky move because the guy's like, oh, now's my
- 4:37Speaker 1: time to you know, those moments where you feel like
- 4:39Speaker 1: you can move like he got he you give you
- 4:42Speaker 1: some space like I'm gonna go and then.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Plot I'm anytime I'm entraining and someone has my back,
- 4:47Speaker 3: I always try to make sure I'm always aware of
- 4:50Speaker 3: the choke. Matts always says, always protect the choke first,
- 4:53Speaker 3: and that's the main thing. I always try to focus
- 4:55Speaker 3: on protect the choke first before you start doing anything else.
- 4:57Speaker 1: That's crazy because.
- 4:58Speaker 3: At the end of the day, he just takes that
- 4:59Speaker 3: little split second to get under the neck and that
- 5:02Speaker 3: could be the fight.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like sometimes people just get they they they
- 5:07Speaker 1: get a little too urgent, you know, they get a
- 5:09Speaker 1: little too they just want to make something happen without
- 5:12Speaker 1: just being safe all the time. Always be safe. And
- 5:15Speaker 1: that's the in gamrat situation right there, that was the
- 5:18Speaker 1: moment because who knows if he could have made it
- 5:21Speaker 1: out of that position and survived all those choke attempts
- 5:24Speaker 1: and got to the next round, who knows, you know,
- 5:27Speaker 1: And if he got on top, who knows? And soul killed.
- 5:30Speaker 1: I mean, you presume he has great endurance. You presume,
- 5:33Speaker 1: but we really don't know yet.
- 5:35Speaker 3: We haven't. No, it's a wild unknown about him. Yeah,
- 5:38Speaker 3: so I'm just like, I don't know how good he
- 5:39Speaker 3: actually is, but I can tell you what first round.
- 5:41Speaker 1: He's a motherfucker's a motherfucker guy. It's interesting like these
- 5:45Speaker 1: guys that are that have the unknowns, you know, like
- 5:48Speaker 1: some guys get really fought, like Tom Aspinall becomes heavyweight
- 5:53Speaker 1: champion of the world, and it's kind of an unknown
- 5:56Speaker 1: whether he can fight in the fourth and fifth rounds.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Kind of crazy, right, We just though he's a blitzer.
- 6:01Speaker 1: We know he's big and fast, but we really rarely
- 6:04Speaker 1: see him get out of the first round. Yeah, kind
- 6:06Speaker 1: of nuts.
- 6:07Speaker 3: It's a it's a gift in a curse, right, that's
- 6:10Speaker 3: a good way to put it. Because you get both
- 6:12Speaker 3: your paychecks. You get done really really early. But then
- 6:15Speaker 3: if you get into the you know, you run into
- 6:17Speaker 3: the wrong one and the fight starts to get tough.
- 6:19Speaker 1: You don't know if you can actually push that envelope.
- 6:21Speaker 3: That's different.
- 6:22Speaker 1: That is the most bullshit part of the UFCA. You
- 6:25Speaker 1: get both your paychecks. Fuck off, fuck off with that.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I hate it. That drives me nuts.
- 6:31Speaker 3: I know the boss, we could talk to him, He's
- 6:33Speaker 3: not gonna.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Said the other times already it should be you get
- 6:38Speaker 1: paid what you get paid. It shouldn't be. First of all,
- 6:41Speaker 1: if judges were perfect every time, maybe you could make
- 6:46Speaker 1: an argument for that. But I still don't think you
- 6:48Speaker 1: should make an argument for that because I think guys
- 6:50Speaker 1: fight as hard as they can to win. There's no
- 6:52Speaker 1: one who's fighting harder because you think you're going to
- 6:55Speaker 1: get a win bonus. You know you're fighting as hard
- 6:57Speaker 1: as you possibly can. Yeah, at the highest level, And
- 7:01Speaker 1: so you're not incentivizing people to fight harder. You're just
- 7:05Speaker 1: you're you're giving too much of their career, too much
- 7:09Speaker 1: of their future, too much of their their actual how
- 7:12Speaker 1: they gonna feed their family, to the whims of people
- 7:14Speaker 1: that sometimes get it wrong.
- 7:16Speaker 3: One I do remember one incident where I was situation
- 7:21Speaker 3: I should say where I was going to fight harder,
- 7:24Speaker 3: and that was you'll see three hundred against Calvuncator when
- 7:27Speaker 3: data announced the bonuses were going to be three hundred thousand.
- 7:29Speaker 1: And I got super pumped up.
- 7:31Speaker 3: And everyone always points to it, They go, you got
- 7:34Speaker 3: so excited and you went there and you felt like that,
- 7:36Speaker 3: I go, listen, it takes two to tango. If he
- 7:38Speaker 3: wants to sit there and hold me, it's not much
- 7:40Speaker 3: I could do. I can't really just fight.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I thought about it. I was like, I'm gonna go
- 7:43Speaker 1: out there and just start.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Swinging for the fences and take them down and maybe
- 7:46Speaker 3: get a crazy finish. And it didn't go that way,
- 7:48Speaker 3: but well, I tried, I thought about it. Guys cancel
- 7:51Speaker 3: each other out too. Yeah, that's the thing, you know,
- 7:55Speaker 3: when people want exciting fights. Everybody wants exciting fights, of course,
- 7:58Speaker 3: of course, but there is a reality to skillful guys
- 8:02Speaker 3: going after each other and then sometimes they'll cancel each
- 8:05Speaker 3: other out and make a boring fight.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Yeah, this shit happens.
- 8:09Speaker 3: It really does. There's there's no rhyme or reason either.
- 8:14Speaker 3: I mean, who is it like Francis Lewis. Francis Lewis,
- 8:18Speaker 3: for instance, and Ghanu and derekar Lewis.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Oh my god, one of the worst fights of all time.
- 8:22Speaker 1: But we all thought that was going to be just
- 8:25Speaker 1: a quick fight. Someone madness, madness and guaranteed madness, two
- 8:30Speaker 1: of the biggest knockout artists in the history the heavyweight.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Division an exact opposite.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Nothing, nothing happened, but it was hell.
- 8:36Speaker 3: These fights happened, and then the fans get on you
- 8:39Speaker 3: about Hi'm like, listen, you go take a punch from
- 8:40Speaker 3: that guy.
- 8:41Speaker 1: That guy is gonna send my consciousness to a whole
- 8:43Speaker 1: different universe. Well, you had Francis coming off the loss
- 8:45Speaker 1: to steep A, and I think he was a little
- 8:47Speaker 1: rattled mentally. And then you had Derek who realizes like
- 8:52Speaker 1: he's looking for his one big shot and he's not
- 8:55Speaker 1: willing to wade in and get clipped, and so he's,
- 8:59Speaker 1: you know, wait to play the role the counter striker,
- 9:02Speaker 1: and then no one does nothing.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Yeah, Colors Sposa and Rose units worst fight in history.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Arguably, it's I think it might be worse because I
- 9:12Speaker 1: think that was five rounds. We went through five rounds
- 9:14Speaker 1: of that ship. That was worse than Derek Lewis and
- 9:17Speaker 1: Francis and Ghana would have been the worst because of expectations,
- 9:21Speaker 1: but it was only three rounds. Yeah, this was five
- 9:23Speaker 1: rounds of what the fuck is going on? And it's
- 9:26Speaker 1: not a knock on the fighters, of course not. There's
- 9:28Speaker 1: two the greatest fly flyweights right now it's two of
- 9:34Speaker 1: the greatest strawweights of all time. I mean Rose namba
- 9:37Speaker 1: Unis when she knocked out Jeang Wei Lee with that
- 9:39Speaker 1: fucking head kick, Holy shit, when she when when she
- 9:42Speaker 1: uh starts Juanna hit her with that left hook and
- 9:45Speaker 1: took her out. Like dude, Rose is a beast man,
- 9:48Speaker 1: She's a beast at one of the absolute most exciting
- 9:51Speaker 1: fighters champions of all time in those those those particular exchanges,
- 9:57Speaker 1: Like some of the fights that she's had, they've been amazing,
- 9:59Speaker 1: amazing fights, but that just fights. That fight sucked for
- 10:02Speaker 1: whatever reason. It happens. Just happens.
- 10:05Speaker 3: Sometimes can't explain it, but sometimes you just feel something
- 10:08Speaker 3: when you're in there. You're just kind of like, well,
- 10:09Speaker 3: I'm not going to go, and they're like, well I'm
- 10:11Speaker 3: not going to go. If you're not going to go,
- 10:13Speaker 3: then it's just.
- 10:15Speaker 1: I don't know what was going on in that fight.
- 10:17Speaker 1: It was very strange. But I also think there's a
- 10:19Speaker 1: time when you've been in so many wars, you know,
- 10:23Speaker 1: you've been you've had so many wars, that your your
- 10:26Speaker 1: willingness to exchange is different, your your your drive to
- 10:30Speaker 1: attack is different. It's not there anymore, you know, and
- 10:34Speaker 1: some especially people who fight in wars, and Rose has
- 10:38Speaker 1: been in some wars.
- 10:39Speaker 3: And that's why I fight the way I fight now
- 10:41Speaker 3: so differently because those wars that I had leading up
- 10:44Speaker 3: to where I'm at, I mean, I had that barn
- 10:46Speaker 3: burning with all these other guys on the way to
- 10:48Speaker 3: the title, and I had to change it up.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta stay alive to fight smart. My fights
- 10:56Speaker 1: are not barn birds like that, No, but they're different.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Your fights are are the best ex you have the
- 11:02Speaker 1: best back control. I think I've ever seen this sport.
- 11:05Speaker 1: There's when you get on someone's back. I'm like, oh shit,
- 11:08Speaker 1: this is getting crazy.
- 11:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I did want to say I appreciate because I
- 11:12Speaker 3: do hear the episodes where you guys talk about it.
- 11:14Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, to control nuts.
- 11:16Speaker 1: The Sanhagan fight is nuts when you know how good
- 11:19Speaker 1: Sandhagen is and you just got that back and that
- 11:23Speaker 1: was ninety night. It was so slick. You've done that
- 11:26Speaker 1: to so many dudes too, and you could see, you know,
- 11:29Speaker 1: like obviously redemption for you was the second Peotyon fight.
- 11:32Speaker 1: That was redemption cool. I remember you came in right afterwards,
- 11:36Speaker 1: was like, everybody's gotta shut the fuck up. Now they
- 11:39Speaker 1: got to shut the fuck up.
- 11:41Speaker 3: It was just split to say that goes shut up,
- 11:44Speaker 3: shut up?
- 11:44Speaker 1: Yeah please, yeah you you You really showed everybody in
- 11:48Speaker 1: that second fight. The first fight was just nonsense. The
- 11:52Speaker 1: first fight was just that kind of a move to
- 11:55Speaker 1: hit someone when they're down on one knee like that, Like,
- 11:58Speaker 1: what the fuck are you doing? Man? It was a
- 12:00Speaker 1: rough time crazy and then you having already had a
- 12:04Speaker 1: bulging disk in your neck, your neck was already fucked.
- 12:08Speaker 1: It's also kind of crazy that you could compete at
- 12:10Speaker 1: the level that you compete at with a fake disk
- 12:13Speaker 1: in your neck. Yeah, do you ever think about that thing?
- 12:16Speaker 3: I still have like nerve damage in my trice up
- 12:18Speaker 3: from it. Like if I do like a pilate or
- 12:21Speaker 3: just a plank, you'll see it.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Just decide shaking. It's so badow.
- 12:27Speaker 3: Even till this day, it's a lot better than what
- 12:29Speaker 3: it was before. But this is what people don't understand
- 12:32Speaker 3: that some of these fighters us, like we go through
- 12:35Speaker 3: a lot just to make it, and you're gonna hear
- 12:38Speaker 3: the other side of it when no one told you
- 12:39Speaker 3: to do it.
- 12:40Speaker 1: It's not even about that.
- 12:40Speaker 3: It's just like we're trying our best to chase something great,
- 12:44Speaker 3: something that's crazy in the sense of the word. You're right,
- 12:47Speaker 3: and uh, you put your body through hell to get there.
- 12:50Speaker 3: And I just I know there's great fans out there
- 12:54Speaker 3: who appreciate that, and just the other ones who are
- 12:57Speaker 3: more casual and they don't really understand. But I wish
- 12:59Speaker 3: they took the time just to train, to do a
- 13:01Speaker 3: week of training and understand what we put our bodies
- 13:03Speaker 3: through day in at a high level against other high
- 13:05Speaker 3: level guys.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Listen, you need the casuals. You need everybody to buy tickets.
- 13:09Speaker 1: It's all great, but the reality of the casuals all
- 13:13Speaker 1: you haters, you are doing yourself a disservice too. You're
- 13:17Speaker 1: saying ridiculous shit. You're acting like a fucking retard. What
- 13:21Speaker 1: you really should do is do better in your own life,
- 13:24Speaker 1: and you wouldn't be a hater because almost all haters
- 13:28Speaker 1: are losers, one hundred percent of them, and the people
- 13:32Speaker 1: they're hating on are doing way better than them. And
- 13:35Speaker 1: there's legitimate criticism, but legitimate criticism can be handled respectfully,
- 13:40Speaker 1: and the people that don't handle legitimate the people that
- 13:43Speaker 1: don't dish out legitimate criticism respectfully it's because they haven't
- 13:47Speaker 1: been smacked, right, yeah, or they haven't been smacked by
- 13:51Speaker 1: the guy they're talking shit about.
- 13:52Speaker 3: It, yeah, or do they see them and then they
- 13:55Speaker 3: change their tune real quick.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Of course, So weird people are so crazy They talk
- 13:59Speaker 1: about literally professional fighters and call them pussies.
- 14:05Speaker 3: I guess it's so delusional. One guy said, I'll fold
- 14:10Speaker 3: you in half like recently, because I don't.
- 14:12Speaker 1: But they're just trying to fuck with your head. They
- 14:14Speaker 1: don't even believe that they're trying to get a rise
- 14:17Speaker 1: out of al Jamain Sterling. They can get a rise
- 14:20Speaker 1: out of a UFC champion, you know how when they're
- 14:23Speaker 1: sixteen years old jerking off cheetos all over their fingers.
- 14:27Speaker 1: You know how exciting that must be to have direct
- 14:30Speaker 1: contact with you.
- 14:31Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I try. I try not to engage
- 14:33Speaker 3: as much as I used to, because before I would
- 14:35Speaker 3: I think we talked about it. Before I would engage
- 14:37Speaker 3: and go back and forth, and I kind of got
- 14:41Speaker 3: away from it. But the old version of me would
- 14:43Speaker 3: like to just say all kinds of crazy shape.
- 14:45Speaker 1: But I'm I'm, you know, a little bit more mature now.
- 14:48Speaker 1: There's no benefit in it, and it wastes energy, that's
- 14:50Speaker 1: the problem, and then it also wastes your You get distracted.
- 14:53Speaker 1: What did he say back? I can see what this
- 14:55Speaker 1: motherfucker responds to. I'm gonna get him again. I do check,
- 14:58Speaker 1: I do check. You saved a bunch of pictures him
- 15:00Speaker 1: from the Instagram.
- 15:02Speaker 3: Let me see your acid person in real life before
- 15:06Speaker 3: he deletes it.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Let me screenshot these. Uh yeah, there's people are people,
- 15:10Speaker 1: so again, yeah, people are people, man. And I would
- 15:12Speaker 1: have done the fucking same thing. If I was fifteen
- 15:14Speaker 1: years old and somebody gave me an Instagram account and
- 15:16Speaker 1: I could talk shit to whoever, I would talk shit
- 15:19Speaker 1: to everybody, whoever it was. I'm trying to think if
- 15:23Speaker 1: I was like that. I don't know if I was
- 15:24Speaker 1: ever like that. Does it didn't exists when you were
- 15:26Speaker 1: a kid, that the access didn't exist. If that access existed,
- 15:30Speaker 1: I guarantee if you and your friends, like Brodrick's talking
- 15:34Speaker 1: shit with me, you and Drake are going back and forth.
- 15:36Speaker 3: You're like, fuck you pussy, of course you would do it.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Everybody would do it. I would do it one hundred percent.
- 15:45Speaker 3: I guess it's just human needs.
- 15:47Speaker 1: But I think that when you get to the level
- 15:50Speaker 1: that you're at a literal world champion and a professional
- 15:54Speaker 1: fighter of the highest caliber. That's you do yourself a
- 15:58Speaker 1: disservice you do. Like I love Sean Strickland. He's crazy
- 16:03Speaker 1: as fuck, but he gets in there with everybody all
- 16:05Speaker 1: the time. He gets in there all day long, talking
- 16:08Speaker 1: ship with people. He gets in there, but it's somehow
- 16:11Speaker 1: another doesn't distract him. I wouldn't give him the same advice.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Something's fucked up about his brain that like, for him
- 16:18Speaker 1: to be in that kind of conflict all day doesn't
- 16:20Speaker 1: seem to bother him at all.
- 16:22Speaker 3: I think it fuels him. There's like I want to
- 16:25Speaker 3: keep going more like driving Broke. Goggins plays a recording
- 16:29Speaker 3: of all this shit that all of his haters have
- 16:31Speaker 3: said to him while he runs. I wouldn't do that,
- 16:36Speaker 3: but you know what I'm saying, Like, there's people that
- 16:39Speaker 3: are wired different, and they think Sean is very very
- 16:43Speaker 3: much wired different and whatever for whatever reason. You know, Yeah,
- 16:48Speaker 3: sometimes I always, but I like it. I like that
- 16:51Speaker 3: he should have a segment that like how Ray Longo has,
- 16:53Speaker 3: like the Ray Longo minute, he should have like a
- 16:56Speaker 3: Strickling minute.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Well, I was telling him, you know, we were talking
- 16:58Speaker 1: when he was out here. He went to ways To
- 17:00Speaker 1: as well to get his shoulder worked on after the
- 17:02Speaker 1: Hamzad victory, and I was saying, you could do a podcast.
- 17:06Speaker 1: It would be hilarious, it would be great, you could
- 17:08Speaker 1: have guests on, you could do whatever the fuck you want,
- 17:10Speaker 1: Like you have a real future outside the sport, like once.
- 17:13Speaker 1: And he's also very smart with his money. As crazy
- 17:15Speaker 1: as that dude is, he saved a ton of money.
- 17:18Speaker 1: He gives great investment advice on Twitter, Like he gives
- 17:21Speaker 1: investment advice. She's like, he wait, who the fuck is this?
- 17:23Speaker 1: This is the same guy he's telling you how to
- 17:25Speaker 1: invest your money. You know, SMP and all this shit,
- 17:28Speaker 1: and like, oh what.
- 17:29Speaker 3: He's not as crazy as he comes off. He's a lot.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Smarter than people give him credit for it. But he
- 17:34Speaker 1: uses that as like it tricks you, and it tricks
- 17:37Speaker 1: you into thinking that he's like a silly person.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Yeah you know what I mean, But he'll say whatever
- 17:41Speaker 3: comes to mind, Yeah that's him.
- 17:43Speaker 1: But the fucker can fight. Yeah, And at the end
- 17:46Speaker 1: of the day, that's the thing. That dude can fight, Like,
- 17:48Speaker 1: he can fight, and he fights in a weird way
- 17:50Speaker 1: like his very weird style, like nobody has that style.

- 23:05Speaker 3: some ice cubes and some glasses.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Let's fucking party, al Jamaine. Then we're gonna go to
- 23:11Speaker 1: the mother shit. I love that name, by the way,
- 23:13Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, we were trying to figure out what
- 23:16Speaker 1: to call it. We had a bunch of different you
- 23:19Speaker 1: know Mitzi Shore, that lady who ran the comedy store, yeah,
- 23:23Speaker 1: painting up there, that's her. She was the owner and
- 23:27Speaker 1: founder of the comedy store. She used to say about
- 23:30Speaker 1: the comedians, the inmates are running the asylum. So we
- 23:34Speaker 1: were gonna call it the asylum. But I thought that
- 23:36Speaker 1: sounds corny, a little corny, or's something about it. It's
- 23:40Speaker 1: like a little like, oh, we're crazy, you know. And
- 23:43Speaker 1: then I thought, well, what is this one of the
- 23:45Speaker 1: things that Ron White, he was the first route. Ron
- 23:48Speaker 1: White was the first guy to move here. And you know,
- 23:50Speaker 1: I knew Ron real well from La and Ron said,
- 23:54Speaker 1: you know, I love it. It's in the middle of
- 23:56Speaker 1: the country. You could fly out. You want one, it's
- 24:01Speaker 1: got work to do. It won't get hammered with us.
- 24:03Speaker 1: It was in the middle of the country, can fly out.
- 24:05Speaker 1: It's only like three hours New York, three hours Ala.
- 24:08Speaker 1: It's perfect. And I was like, well, that would be
- 24:11Speaker 1: like the mothership and then you could fly out all
- 24:13Speaker 1: your all your ships could fly to different parts of
- 24:16Speaker 1: the company. That would be your base. The mothership would
- 24:18Speaker 1: be the base. That's pretty cool.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Plus obviously I'm alien, That's what I thought it was.
- 24:23Speaker 3: Of course.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm obsessed for whatever reason. Which one
- 24:28Speaker 1: darker light? What's the difference?
- 24:30Speaker 3: So this one's our limited edition. It's got the number
- 24:33Speaker 3: one on it. We're gonna be coming out with some
- 24:34Speaker 3: different ones. We're actually going through a rebrand right now.
- 24:37Speaker 3: This was Age two to five years, but they're all
- 24:39Speaker 3: Jamaican origin. This one's Age under the Tropical Sun. On
- 24:42Speaker 3: Age as a silver.
- 24:43Speaker 1: We'll bust out that Age under the Tropical Sun and.
- 24:46Speaker 3: This one we use expurban cast. So drink's really nice
- 24:49Speaker 3: if you like bourbon. Oh it's a little bit. It's like,
- 24:51Speaker 3: I don't say sweet, but it's not as harsh when
- 24:54Speaker 3: you drink it.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Are you a rum guy. Is that your thing? Is
- 24:57Speaker 1: that why you start a rump company? Yes, you've always
- 25:02Speaker 1: been a rum guy.
- 25:03Speaker 3: My parents are from Jamaica, so I want My parents
- 25:07Speaker 3: are from Italy.
- 25:07Speaker 1: But I hate Grappa. That's it's nasty. Granpa's not nasty.
- 25:13Speaker 1: That stuff's nasty. I'm gonna take the big one, all right,
- 25:17Speaker 1: cheers sir. What do you guys say? Salute salo?
- 25:22Speaker 3: I think you guys said something else in Italy.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Oh, I just got back. I was just there last week. Yeah,
- 25:31Speaker 1: two weeks ago. Yeah, two weeks ago.
- 25:33Speaker 3: It was.
- 25:33Speaker 1: It's awesome. I love it there. We still haven't gone.
- 25:36Speaker 1: We want to go so bad, bro, if you want
- 25:38Speaker 1: to eat, that's the place Pasta. Everybody talking about it.
- 25:42Speaker 3: I would love to do that.
- 25:43Speaker 1: I gained three pounds. I ate nothing but carbs. I
- 25:47Speaker 1: ate so much food. I ate till I was hurting
- 25:49Speaker 1: every night. I was like, I'm gonna ignore my diet completely.
- 25:55Speaker 1: I worked out every day, but I was like, I'm
- 25:57Speaker 1: gonna ignore my diet completely and just ea eat for pleasure.
- 26:01Speaker 3: But it's not as bad though, it's not as bad
- 26:04Speaker 3: for you. The food is not as bad. But wait,
- 26:06Speaker 3: calories of calories stow.
- 26:07Speaker 1: But it's just the volume. I'm a glutton. I ate
- 26:10Speaker 1: two pizzas, I ate linguini with clams. I had a
- 26:14Speaker 1: barrata and tomatoes, and I also had what else does
- 26:19Speaker 1: I have something? Oh, a bunch of pieces of bread
- 26:21Speaker 1: I hate so much in one setting. Then I got
- 26:24Speaker 1: home that night when we sat back, and I was like,
- 26:27Speaker 1: I can't move. I've eaten myself to a place where
- 26:32Speaker 1: I'm like, you ever see one of those lions that
- 26:34Speaker 1: eats too much? They just line? I felt, Jesse.
- 26:41Speaker 3: Those were those were my one thirty five days. As
- 26:44Speaker 3: soon as the fight's over, I'm going in.
- 26:46Speaker 1: I remember one time I ran into you at the
- 26:48Speaker 1: APEX and I was like, what do you weigh? And
- 26:51Speaker 1: you said one seventy six. I was like, that's crazy, Yeah,
- 26:54Speaker 1: you gotta lose forty pounds, that's crazy.
- 26:58Speaker 3: The fascinating part is when I went up to forty five,
- 27:01Speaker 3: I got down and I was lighter in my natural
- 27:04Speaker 3: walking around weight. You still eating the same way I
- 27:06Speaker 3: always did, and I was walking around about one hundred
- 27:08Speaker 3: and sixty eight sometimes sixty six to about one seventy two,
- 27:12Speaker 3: and I'm like, this is doesn't even make any sense.
- 27:15Speaker 3: How much lighter I am from one point thirty five,
- 27:18Speaker 3: and it's just.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Less anxiety about making the weight that too, your body
- 27:21Speaker 1: didn't hold on to it as much.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Yeah, so the body kind of just recognizes what's happening, like, oh,
- 27:26Speaker 3: this is.
- 27:27Speaker 1: A nicer weight cut. Yeah, you're healthy now. Yeah, even
- 27:30Speaker 1: though it was still a weightcut.
- 27:31Speaker 3: I was gonna say, but I just checked my weight
- 27:33Speaker 3: last week when I got well, actually two days ago,
- 27:36Speaker 3: when I got back.
- 27:37Speaker 1: From me Gains. You're at least one seventy I'm heavier
- 27:42Speaker 1: than that. One seventy five. North was seventy eight. That's
- 27:46Speaker 1: when I checked, and I didn't look fat. I was like,
- 27:50Speaker 1: this is crazy. It's happening again.
- 27:52Speaker 3: It's happening to over.
- 27:53Speaker 1: That's people that don't understand it, Like I have to
- 27:55Speaker 1: explain to my normy friends, but they're like, Hosey lose
- 27:58Speaker 1: all that weight. He doesn't have anything to lose. I'm like, well,
- 28:02Speaker 1: you're sucking your muscles dry and that's what's crazy. And
- 28:06Speaker 1: your organs that's what's really dark. Oh it's dark, dude,
- 28:09Speaker 1: it's dark. It's the worst part about fighting. I still
- 28:12Speaker 1: think same day weighns well, same day WAYNS would change
- 28:15Speaker 1: a lot, But also guys would get really hurt because
- 28:18Speaker 1: people are still going to lose the weight. They're still
- 28:20Speaker 1: going to do it.
- 28:21Speaker 3: But I think that's going to be a like a phase,
- 28:23Speaker 3: like people are going to realize how stupid this is.
- 28:25Speaker 3: They go, oh, I actually feel better just competing at
- 28:28Speaker 3: my weight.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Perhaps, but I think you would have to have multiple
- 28:32Speaker 1: weight classes added, many weight classes added. There's too many
- 28:36Speaker 1: gaps that are too ridiculous.
- 28:37Speaker 3: If the fifteen pound gap would be the most challenging,
- 28:41Speaker 3: from fifty five to seventy.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Eighty five to two oh five, eighty five to two
- 28:45Speaker 1: oh five is crazy, twenty pounds is crazy.
- 28:48Speaker 3: I always thought there should be an in between for
- 28:50Speaker 3: that one.
- 28:51Speaker 1: There should be every ten pounds. Every ten pounds is smart,
- 28:56Speaker 1: you know, go one twenty five, thirty five, forty five,
- 28:59Speaker 1: fifty five, sixty low up the ones that are you know,
- 29:02Speaker 1: like when you get to seventy, make seventy seventy five.
- 29:05Speaker 1: You know, eighty five is already there. Make a ninety five,
- 29:08Speaker 1: make a two oh five, and then it gets weird.
- 29:11Speaker 1: With heavyweight, I think you might want to have like
- 29:14Speaker 1: a bridger weight, like a two twenty two, twenty five
- 29:18Speaker 1: and then giant fellas, and then after that it should
- 29:21Speaker 1: be as big as the fucking he want to be,
- 29:23Speaker 1: because that's the weird thing, is like heavyweight's limited. I
- 29:25Speaker 1: remember Tim Sylvia when Tim Sylvia was saucy. There was
- 29:30Speaker 1: a time when Tim Sylvia was big. He was a
- 29:32Speaker 1: big fella, and he was cutting weight to make two
- 29:35Speaker 1: sixty five hardcore. He was barely making it. He was
- 29:38Speaker 1: so big back then. Man like, man, he's gigantic. Yeah,
- 29:42Speaker 1: And that was when he was fucking sick and he uh.
- 29:45Speaker 1: I remember watching him struggle to make the two sixty five.
- 29:48Speaker 1: I'm like, that's crazy. Why are you making the heavyweights
- 29:51Speaker 1: cut weight? That doesn't make any sense. It takes away
- 29:54Speaker 1: from what heavyweight actually. Yeah, the biggest, baddest motherfucker alive. Yeah.
- 29:59Speaker 1: You know when Mike Tice was fucking everybody else peop
- 30:01Speaker 1: lay two twenty.
- 30:02Speaker 3: I don won't say small, let me not say small
- 30:04Speaker 3: heavyweight he was.
- 30:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it doesn't matter. Came when Kane was
- 30:09Speaker 1: fucking everybody up. He was two forty. He was late too.
- 30:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Fad Or same thing. He was never real big. Fad
- 30:15Speaker 1: Or was fairly small compared to a lot of other
- 30:17Speaker 1: heatherways heavyweights.
- 30:18Speaker 3: But then you got a guy like a Rosa Bellis dispend.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Oh, that's crazy. He's huge seven feet all. He's gigantic huge.
- 30:26Speaker 1: That guy is that range is nuts. He's like the
- 30:29Speaker 1: modern day in the end of THO. Like he's an Amazonian.
- 30:31Speaker 3: He's a giant, a literal giant.
- 30:33Speaker 1: He's one of those guys where when I saw that
- 30:36Speaker 1: fight that that MVP did with him and Junior Dosanto's,
- 30:40Speaker 1: I said, please don't do that fight that that fight's
- 30:43Speaker 1: not right. That's that's one of those fights. Really, that
- 30:45Speaker 1: fight's not right. Yeah, this is just too much of
- 30:48Speaker 1: a changing in the guard. There's one guy who is
- 30:51Speaker 1: coming off of karate combat. First of all, if one thing,
- 30:54Speaker 1: if Junior was a wrestler, if Junior was a sick wrestler,
- 30:57Speaker 1: and you know, oh, you know, maybe he's gonna take
- 30:59Speaker 1: him ground and pound. This This is kind of even
- 31:02Speaker 1: though he's older, he's been knocked out a bunch of times,
- 31:04Speaker 1: he's still very dangerous. But you know, Junior had seen
- 31:08Speaker 1: his best days back when he knocked out Kane, which
- 31:10Speaker 1: was like, what year was that.
- 31:13Speaker 3: Twenty sixteen? Twenty fifteen wasn't even I got signed at
- 31:18Speaker 3: twenty fourteen. I don't think I remember Kane, not Kane,
- 31:23Speaker 3: So it's the big It was.
- 31:24Speaker 1: The big Fox card. It was the first car on
- 31:27Speaker 1: Fox because I remember they made Caine fight with a
- 31:30Speaker 1: blown out knee, or they encouraged him to fight with
- 31:33Speaker 1: a blown out mee. Kane's knee was fucked before that fight,
- 31:38Speaker 1: and Junior caught him with that perfect right hand. Well
- 31:41Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, Okay, that's his debut, right, No, that's that fight.
- 31:47Speaker 1: That's the fight where he knocked out Kane Balaskaz. Oh,
- 31:50Speaker 1: that's the second one. What's the one where he beat Kane?
- 31:53Speaker 1: Is right before that? Uh no, right before that he
- 31:57Speaker 1: got some Yeah, the Fox won twenty eleven. Okay, so
- 32:01Speaker 1: fifteen years of Wars, Yeah, fifteen years of the steep
- 32:05Speaker 1: Amiotic fight, which was horrible to watch, right, that was
- 32:08Speaker 1: a brutal, brutal fight, and then you have the second
- 32:11Speaker 1: Cane fight, which was horrible to watch. And then I
- 32:13Speaker 1: think there was a third Cane fight too, correct JDS Yes, yeh,
- 32:17Speaker 1: which was also horrible to watch.
- 32:19Speaker 3: You know, it's at the two tough fights back to back.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Bro. If you don't take Caane out in that first
- 32:24Speaker 1: round that storm never ends. Yeah, never ends. You're like,
- 32:28Speaker 1: we're gonna ride this storm out.
- 32:31Speaker 3: No, there was no ride.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Prime Caine was a motherfucker dude.
- 32:37Speaker 3: I man when I've always been conflicted with him in
- 32:41Speaker 3: DC because it kind of reminded me of a morob
- 32:44Speaker 3: and I and I always said, like, if DC stayed
- 32:46Speaker 3: at a heavyweight, he could have arguably potentially have been
- 32:50Speaker 3: the greatest heavyweight of all time. But I do know
- 32:53Speaker 3: DC always says in the training room, Kane was the
- 32:56Speaker 3: man who was the guy.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Yeah, he told me he always Kane beat his out.
- 33:00Speaker 1: DC should have been a middleweight. How about that.
- 33:03Speaker 3: I don't know that guy's making middleweight.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Disciplined DC, him and his chicken. DC went to Dagastad.
- 33:09Speaker 1: If DC went to Dagostad.
- 33:11Speaker 3: For three years, he's not gonna forget.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Yeah, fun to get three years if he If DC
- 33:21Speaker 1: made midleweight, and he could have made middleweight, a lot
- 33:24Speaker 1: of guys who are way leaner than him have made
- 33:28Speaker 1: that weight.
- 33:29Speaker 3: So I saw him at my UC debut UC one
- 33:32Speaker 3: seventy at Mandalay Bay in the back room cutting weight,
- 33:36Speaker 3: doing the workouts, and he looked like he was dying
- 33:40Speaker 3: just to make.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Two oh five. True, So I don't know how he
- 33:45Speaker 1: would have done it. Well, he would have had to
- 33:49Speaker 1: change his diet. No more Popeyes, yeah, no more nothing,
- 33:52Speaker 1: no more garbage, and he would have had I love
- 33:54Speaker 1: DC too. He's my favorite person to do commentary with
- 33:58Speaker 1: by far. He's the best. He's fun, he's we have
- 34:00Speaker 1: such a good time. We have such a good time.
- 34:02Speaker 1: He's such a fun dude, like genuinely happy, fun dude.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Look at him. That's two of five DC. So two
- 34:09Speaker 1: of five DC. Though you're telling me that like Alex Pereira,
- 34:11Speaker 1: if he was built like that, couldn't lose twenty pounds.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Of course he could. Yeah, I don't know because he's not.
- 34:18Speaker 1: Look if you see the guys that fight at eighty five,
- 34:21Speaker 1: like Joe Pifer, Joe Pifer is a giant, drekis Trickis
- 34:25Speaker 1: dupless is a fucking giant. He's big, he's gigantic. He
- 34:28Speaker 1: looks like a heavyweight. But he makes eighty five. What
- 34:32Speaker 1: does that mean? He's sucking it in. He could have
- 34:36Speaker 1: made middleweight. He could have made middleweight if he had
- 34:39Speaker 1: like the real if he just had the drive and
- 34:43Speaker 1: did it as a lifestyle change, and like did it
- 34:45Speaker 1: over the course of like a year and like really
- 34:48Speaker 1: leaned himself out, got on like a ketogenic diet, leaned
- 34:52Speaker 1: himself out.
- 34:53Speaker 3: But then how often would he be able to fight.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Depends on how much he actually gets his body weight
- 34:58Speaker 1: down to. That's the thing. Like he sees only like
- 35:01Speaker 1: five eleven five'. Ten how tall is. He i'm gonna
- 35:04Speaker 1: give him five. Eleven maybe maybe like, him MAYBE i love,
- 35:07Speaker 1: him might be might be five. Eleven but there's guys
- 35:11Speaker 1: with his body that could Have but it's not like
- 35:14Speaker 1: a thing where you can make the weight by just dehydrating. Yourself,
- 35:17Speaker 1: no he's too. Big but if he had with his,
- 35:20Speaker 1: frame if he had slowly but surely leaned himself out
- 35:24Speaker 1: and did it healthy smart over like the course of a,
- 35:27Speaker 1: year you'd have to take some time off and really
- 35:30Speaker 1: just dedicate himself to just getting. Lean his gas tank
- 35:33Speaker 1: could be. Better who's gonna fuck with that guy At?
- 35:36Speaker 1: Middleway do you remember what he was doing A Dan?
- 35:38Speaker 1: Henderson do you remember that? Fight flipped him like a
- 35:40Speaker 1: burger bro he threw him around like a rag. Doll
- 35:43Speaker 1: And Dan henderson's a. Monster he's a. Monster that guy's a.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Beast he's such a tank AND dc just rag doll,
- 35:51Speaker 1: them just rag doll.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Them that was two of, five, Right henderson came.
- 35:55Speaker 1: Up henderson came.
- 35:56Speaker 3: Up, yeah you, know because WHEN i would cut, down
- 35:59Speaker 3: AND i wasn't always this big at thirty, five but
- 36:01Speaker 3: WHEN i would cut down to thirty, FIVE i would
- 36:03Speaker 3: have to do it in, stages SO i couldn't do
- 36:06Speaker 3: a three month turnaround LIKE i did for the one.
- 36:09Speaker 1: Fight how much time do you?
- 36:10Speaker 3: NEED i needed four months is.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Ideal that's.
- 36:14Speaker 3: Crazy it's ideal so long BECAUSE i could slowly get
- 36:17Speaker 3: down and THEN i could start tripping away Because i'm
- 36:20Speaker 3: at my natural. State i'm fat and, happy and it's
- 36:22Speaker 3: not even. Fat i'm just adding my normal walking. Weight
- 36:25Speaker 3: and THEN i get down from seventy whatever to. Seventy
- 36:28Speaker 3: THEN i get it the next week or the week
- 36:30Speaker 3: following down to sixty. Five after, THAT i get down
- 36:33Speaker 3: to sixty and that's like the optimal WEIGHT i want
- 36:36Speaker 3: to be. At and THEN i get to fifty five
- 36:37Speaker 3: and this is like Where i'm going to be When.
- 36:39Speaker 1: I'm stepping into the.
- 36:40Speaker 3: Octagon so to do that over the periods of, time
- 36:43Speaker 3: like you could do it really quick BECAUSE i have
- 36:45Speaker 3: the wrestlers. MENTALITY i can do it, fast but doesn't
- 36:49Speaker 3: mean everything's going to be where it should. Be AND
- 36:51Speaker 3: i also felt my cardio in rounds four and five
- 36:54Speaker 3: in comparison to doing rounds four and five in the
- 36:55Speaker 3: training room severely. Different my gas thank you'd THINK i
- 36:59Speaker 3: was morob, right and just for comparison's, sake, Right and
- 37:03Speaker 3: Then i'll go into the. Fights in around four or,
- 37:05Speaker 3: Five i'm, LIKE i gotta serve some. MINUTE i can
- 37:07Speaker 3: serve some menagy Because i'm slowing. DOWN i can feel,
- 37:09Speaker 3: it But i'm trying not to show.
- 37:11Speaker 1: It is there a difference between when you were allowed
- 37:13Speaker 1: to use THE ivy and when they took the IV's.
- 37:15Speaker 3: AWAY i USED ivy, once only, once AND i was
- 37:17Speaker 3: in like twenty. FIFTEEN i thought it was stupid it
- 37:20Speaker 3: forever to get. It And i'm, LIKE i could have
- 37:22Speaker 3: been eating right, now And i'm the same weight THAT
- 37:25Speaker 3: i was WHEN i just, ate LIKE i much rather
- 37:28Speaker 3: just stuff my.
- 37:28Speaker 1: FACE i think the idea is that it hydrates you
- 37:31Speaker 1: more efficiently because instead of having to go through your,
- 37:34Speaker 1: stomach it goes right into your veins and then it
- 37:36Speaker 1: hydrates your muscles more.
- 37:38Speaker 3: EFFICIENTLY i didn't really feel like a performance. Difference If
- 37:42Speaker 3: i'm being, honest, interesting But i'm. Different some people called
- 37:44Speaker 3: me an anomaly and they, said you can't do WHAT i.
- 37:47Speaker 3: DO i drink in training camp and people Think i'm.
- 37:49Speaker 3: Crazy really, YEAH i drink the night before the. Fight, What,
- 37:52Speaker 3: YEAH i have one glass sometimes? Two really threeas they
- 37:57Speaker 3: were getting.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Crazy but the night before the fight after you've, wait,
- 38:00Speaker 1: yeah why.
- 38:01Speaker 3: Do you do? That i'm Not John. Jones that guy is.
- 38:05Speaker 3: Built i'm built, different but he's built different than.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Me, WELL i Think john is just so fucking talented
- 38:12Speaker 1: and so fucking smart that he was able to get
- 38:15Speaker 1: by and dominate at a world championship level by putting
- 38:19Speaker 1: himself at a deficit like, that whereas If, john you say,
- 38:24Speaker 1: That But john's a different, person like he wouldn't be
- 38:26Speaker 1: the same.
- 38:26Speaker 3: Guy and he's.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Wild there's something About john that's one of the reasons
- 38:30Speaker 1: why he's so good is that he's. Wild he's intelligent
- 38:33Speaker 1: and wild at the same, time.
- 38:35Speaker 3: And that's why you can't. Compare it's, like whatever makes
- 38:38Speaker 3: you happy when PEOPLE i Remember Kyle dike said something
- 38:41Speaker 3: like he will eat ice cream not right before a,
- 38:44Speaker 3: match but in his training he's, like because it makes him.
- 38:47Speaker 3: HAPPY i want to have a drink because throughout the trading,

- 41:25Speaker 1: off when you lay back on the, gas when you
- 41:28Speaker 1: really maybe, could like if you were a little bit more,
- 41:30Speaker 1: arrested you could just one extra, move one extra, transition
- 41:34Speaker 1: one extra guard, pass one extra attempt at a, submission
- 41:37Speaker 1: one extra thing that gets you the.
- 41:38Speaker 3: Round you know What i'm. SAYING i take my neaps
- 41:43Speaker 3: before the. Fight i'd take my nask before the. Fight
- 41:47Speaker 3: recharge that.
- 41:47Speaker 1: Bettery, well. Listen iliatabory used to drink wine at the weigh.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Ends he was weighing. In while he was cutting, weight
- 41:55Speaker 1: he was. Drinking. Yeah, yeah there's no perfect. FORMULA i
- 41:58Speaker 1: mean it, also there's, something doesn't he, said for doing
- 42:01Speaker 1: what makes you happy. ALWAYS i think enthusiasm is a
- 42:06Speaker 1: very important. Thing enthusiasm and joy is a very important.
- 42:10Speaker 1: Thing it's. Underrated.
- 42:11Speaker 3: Yeah so my Friend Dennis, bezukiah he just fought in
- 42:14Speaker 3: The albania. Card bad stoppage by the ref AND i
- 42:18Speaker 3: Like Jason, herzog but bad. Stoppage he said he. Tapped
- 42:20Speaker 3: he didn't, Tap BUT i remember his Second contender. Fight
- 42:24Speaker 3: he's cutting weight And morob is having a party at
- 42:26Speaker 3: his house In.
- 42:26Speaker 1: Vegas that top that was a weird. One that tap was.
- 42:29Speaker 3: Weird he went from locking his hands to finding his
- 42:32Speaker 3: leg and pushing off the, leg and he ruled it
- 42:35Speaker 3: as a.
- 42:35Speaker 1: TAP i just don't understand that. TAP i, GO i Go.
- 42:38Speaker 3: Jason i've trained With, jason And i'm not attacking him
- 42:42Speaker 3: BECAUSE i don't want people.
- 42:42Speaker 1: THINKING i don't like to.
- 42:43Speaker 3: Attack people unless they really deserve.
- 42:45Speaker 1: It BUT i.
- 42:46Speaker 3: Go if you're not, sure because he said he wasn't.
- 42:48Speaker 3: Sure he said it looked like a, Taped SO i.
- 42:50Speaker 3: Go if you think it looked like. It you weren't.
- 42:52Speaker 3: Sure why not just wait because if it, was he
- 42:56Speaker 3: would do it. Again, yes but his immediate action after
- 42:58Speaker 3: pushing off the leg was to grab between his leg
- 43:01Speaker 3: where you kind of lock your hand from the head and.
- 43:03Speaker 3: Arm fen AND i have the hardest time ever Finishing.
- 43:08Speaker 3: Dennis And i'm a pretty good black belt in jiu,
- 43:10Speaker 3: jitsu and that's a good position for me AND i.
- 43:13Speaker 3: STRUGGLE i could count on my hands how many TIMES
- 43:16Speaker 3: i probably finished him in that.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Position it's also it's the classic. Defense, yes you grab
- 43:20Speaker 1: the leg and that's the best way to prevent the
- 43:22Speaker 1: guy from putting all the pressure on the, neck the
- 43:25Speaker 1: head and. Arm do you ever go to do you
- 43:28Speaker 1: know what the impaler is and He bravo calls the
- 43:30Speaker 1: impaler to get out of that. Position you you slide
- 43:34Speaker 1: the knee to the sternum and you finish with the
- 43:37Speaker 1: knee on the sternum for the bottom, guy for the top.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Guy so when the guy's, defending, yes, yeah you go
- 43:42Speaker 1: knee to. Sternum it's fucking, brutal, man because you're a
- 43:45Speaker 1: Brutal you're being attacked on two different. Fronts uh. Huh
- 43:48Speaker 1: you're being. Crushed your SM's being, crushed and this defense
- 43:52Speaker 1: does not work as good. Anymore it still gives you
- 43:54Speaker 1: a little. Bit the grabbing the leg and looping over
- 43:57Speaker 1: like that gives you a little. Bit but there's something
- 43:59Speaker 1: about that crushing on the sternum and along with the
- 44:02Speaker 1: squeeze of the head and arm. Choke, yeah it's.
- 44:05Speaker 3: Nasty the difference with, THAT i would imagine you at
- 44:09Speaker 3: least When i've tried, IT i try to get it
- 44:11Speaker 3: before they get on their, side because once they're perpendicular
- 44:13Speaker 3: with the, ground it's a little bit hard to get
- 44:14Speaker 3: the exact course pressure point of what you. Want AND i,
- 44:18Speaker 3: GO i try this literally the very next, day AND i,
- 44:21Speaker 3: go there's no way you could submit somebody with your
- 44:23Speaker 3: ass in the. Air you could be squeezing as hard
- 44:26Speaker 3: as you, want but if your asses in the air
- 44:27Speaker 3: and this guy's on the, side it's gonna be really
- 44:29Speaker 3: difficult to make somebody tap in that, position very, hard.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Depending upon your squeeze. Ability right that. Too did you See?
- 44:35Speaker 1: Amasov When amasov finished? That dude he did he did that.
- 44:38Speaker 1: Thing he's a nasty, grappler.
- 44:40Speaker 3: Bro and it's crazy because he lost To Jason jackson
- 44:42Speaker 3: And i'm not saying that as like a slight Bro,
- 44:45Speaker 3: jason but it's just, like how good Is Jason. Jackson
- 44:47Speaker 3: Jason jackson's real fucking. Good and that's why you're making,
- 44:50Speaker 3: brother he's not signing real.
- 44:51Speaker 1: Good he needs to be signed to THE ufc one hundred.
- 44:56Speaker 1: Crack and he took him. Out, man he took him.
- 44:58Speaker 1: Out he didn't just beat. Him, YEAH i wish they cross. Promote,
- 45:03Speaker 1: well it's not gonna, happen BUT i Wish Santa claus was.
- 45:07Speaker 3: Real BUT i was, like why don't we just find
- 45:11Speaker 3: out who's? Is make it like, boxing you, know where
- 45:14Speaker 3: we could find out who's Actually look at this how he.
- 45:16Speaker 1: FINISHES dc AND i were actually talking about this because
- 45:21Speaker 1: he looked he goes knaed to the. Belly see how
- 45:22Speaker 1: he doesn't. Across, now if you're grabbing the, Leg so
- 45:26Speaker 1: if he was grabbing his, leg you would go knee
- 45:28Speaker 1: across the chest and you put it right down on the.
- 45:30Speaker 1: Sternum but he did that to make sure he was flattened, Out,
- 45:33Speaker 1: yes to make sure that he couldn't go to the.
- 45:35Speaker 1: Side but this dude is just so good.
- 45:37Speaker 3: Wicked joe's just looking LIKE i can't do anything about.
- 45:40Speaker 1: That of course he, can fucking of course he can break.
- 45:43Speaker 1: Dance bro breakdancing is a great bass for jiu. Jitsu
- 45:47Speaker 1: we had a bunch of, Guys Richie martinez And Geo,
- 45:49Speaker 1: martinez these guys that came Into Tenth. Planet we went
- 45:52Speaker 1: back in the early two thousands and we were all,
- 45:56Speaker 1: like oh, shit. Breakdancing like we never even thought. Gymnastics
- 45:59Speaker 1: everybody he knew like a guy who could do, gymnastics
- 46:02Speaker 1: a guy who's like really good at. Tumbling that kind
- 46:05Speaker 1: of explosive ability and balance and control and body strength

- 46:12Speaker 1: It like breakdancing is kind of like a gymnastics you.
- 46:16Speaker 1: Know these dudes are doing weird shit where they're on

- 48:31Speaker 3: And THE competi fans don't give him any credit for.
- 48:33Speaker 3: It they, go he was playing with. HIM i, go,
- 48:36Speaker 3: really tell me one fighter who goes out there and
- 48:39Speaker 3: tells you that they're just going to play with their.
- 48:42Speaker 1: Opponent, Primetime al was a. Beast, yeah he was a
- 48:45Speaker 1: beast and he was tough as ship in.
- 48:47Speaker 3: Game you, know isn't he selling real estate? Now shout
- 48:51Speaker 3: out To, yeah he's doing really. Well man for him
- 48:54Speaker 3: working together for a little. Bit but then it got
- 48:56Speaker 3: to the point WHERE i was, like, DUDE i just
- 48:58Speaker 3: don't have the. Time IT'S i got to make a.
- 49:00Speaker 3: Decision and that's WHEN i started doing The Rum company and.
- 49:02Speaker 3: Everything you see how fast time gets absorbed with?
- 49:08Speaker 1: Things, yeah with. Everything, YEAH i WISH i had multiple
- 49:11Speaker 1: lives SO i could do multiple different, things multiple different.
- 49:15Speaker 3: Lives you might be in another, dimension.
- 49:18Speaker 1: MAYBE i would love, to but in this, DIMENSION i
- 49:20Speaker 1: have too many. INTERESTS i almost WISH i didn't have
- 49:22Speaker 1: as many things THAT i love to.
- 49:24Speaker 3: DO i could whittle him down to a. Few, yeah you,
- 49:27Speaker 3: KNOW i still want. TO i want to learn how
- 49:31Speaker 3: you do your spinning back. CAKE i throw, mine BUT
- 49:37Speaker 3: i know you do yours a little bit of a different.
- 49:39Speaker 3: WAY i remember the video you did with THE gsp
- 49:42Speaker 3: showing him how you do. Yours but IT'S i like to.
- 49:47Speaker 3: SPIND i like to spend the. Win listen if it.
- 49:50Speaker 1: Lands the amount of torpe that you get on spin it's,
- 49:52Speaker 1: crazy it's not. Good what do you do different than
- 49:56Speaker 1: the WAY i do?
- 49:57Speaker 3: IT i don't. KNOW i know you're supposed to, step
- 50:00Speaker 3: turn the, heel look over the. Shoulder you can jump as.
- 50:03Speaker 3: Well you don't have to step. All the whole thing
- 50:05Speaker 3: is just getting it out in a straight. Line and
- 50:07Speaker 3: the problem with most people that didn't train like in
- 50:10Speaker 3: a classic tak onondo school is that it's a.
- 50:13Speaker 1: Circle circle can. Land it can, land and it can
- 50:16Speaker 1: be really powerful if it, lands but it's not going
- 50:19Speaker 1: to be as powerful as the WAY i do. It
- 50:21Speaker 1: the WAY i do it is a. Turn and THEN
- 50:23Speaker 1: i always say spinning back kick WHEN i do commentary
- 50:26Speaker 1: because everybody understands. That, yeah but it's a turning, sidekick
- 50:29Speaker 1: is the way we talked about it in. Takuando it's
- 50:32Speaker 1: a turning, sidekick the. Sidekick, Yeah i'm getting maximum amount of,
- 50:38Speaker 1: energy maximum. Efficiency it's the difference between throwing a punch like.
- 50:42Speaker 1: This you can knock somebody out if you throw a
- 50:44Speaker 1: punch like, this like a crazy arm, punch and you
- 50:46Speaker 1: could hurt them and knock them out one hundred percent
- 50:48Speaker 1: of the. Time and you could do that once and
- 50:50Speaker 1: say that's the way to throw a, punch or you
- 50:52Speaker 1: could learn how to throw a Punch Tommy hearn's, style
- 50:55Speaker 1: where you fucking turning your body into it and you
- 50:58Speaker 1: got all that torque and bang it catches you on
- 51:01Speaker 1: the end in a straight. Line And tommy would just
- 51:03Speaker 1: starch people with, that Or Deontay wilder right straight straight
- 51:07Speaker 1: down the. Pipe that's the difference between a turning sidekick
- 51:10Speaker 1: and when people spin in a. Circle so when you
- 51:12Speaker 1: spin in a, circle of, course it's gonna have. Power
- 51:14Speaker 1: you have giant. Legs your legs carry your body.
- 51:17Speaker 3: Around all day.
- 51:18Speaker 1: Long you've got the you're pushing off the other, leg
- 51:20Speaker 1: you're spinning with all Your torso, yeah it's gonna have,
- 51:23Speaker 1: Power but it's not gonna have as much power as
- 51:25Speaker 1: the WAY i do. It the WAY i throw. It
- 51:27Speaker 1: when it, lands it's everything's going in a straight line
- 51:30Speaker 1: And i'm pushing off my back leg And i'm getting
- 51:32Speaker 1: all my abs into, it my hips into, it and
- 51:35Speaker 1: it's just straight, Bud AND i know that IF i
- 51:39Speaker 1: hit you with, that you're going downwhere you're going, Down
- 51:43Speaker 1: you're going to the. Hospital like you're not gonna make. It, Man,
- 51:46Speaker 1: YEA i.
- 51:46Speaker 3: Saw you hit the bag AND i was, like holy,
- 51:48Speaker 3: shit that's the fucking kick and a half right.
- 51:50Speaker 1: There there's only one video of me online. Fighting it's
- 51:54Speaker 1: from WHEN i was. NINETEEN i was at THE Us
- 51:56Speaker 1: cup In connecticut AND i hit this dude with a
- 51:57Speaker 1: spinning back kick and send him through the a send
- 52:00Speaker 1: him flying through the. Air AND i knew the MOMENT
- 52:03Speaker 1: i hit, Him i'm, like this fight's. OVER i turned
- 52:05Speaker 1: around and just walked off casually BECAUSE i would like
- 52:08Speaker 1: to do that like fuck with people's. Heads BUT i
- 52:11Speaker 1: knew that one move has too much power for your
- 52:15Speaker 1: body to. Absorb there's no way you can take. It
- 52:18Speaker 1: it's just too. Much it's like getting hit by a.
- 52:20Speaker 1: Car and that's, nasty, Man it's a nasty. Kick like
- 52:23Speaker 1: When john landed On, Steepe, yeah it has caved his body,
- 52:28Speaker 1: In Like steepe is one of the toughest human beings
- 52:30Speaker 1: is to ever walk the face of the. Earth but
- 52:32Speaker 1: he takes that to the body like that's you're not going.
- 52:35Speaker 1: Nowhere you're not going. Nowhere And john's so, Smart Like
- 52:39Speaker 1: john practiced that specific technique because he was going up to.
- 52:42Speaker 1: Heavyweight he was, LIKE i need something BECAUSE i can't
- 52:44Speaker 1: knock guys out with one punch at. HEAVYWEIGHT i can
- 52:47Speaker 1: maybe kick him, with but what's the most powerful, kick
- 52:50Speaker 1: and he realized is the spinning, backkick so he just drilled.
- 52:53Speaker 1: It so three days a, week that's all he would
- 52:55Speaker 1: do is just drill the spinning back. Kick this episode

- 53:47Speaker 3: Like HIS iq has always been through his fighting RQs.
- 53:52Speaker 3: Crazy he understands, fighting AND i think that's what sets
- 53:55Speaker 3: him apart from everybody. Else he understands, Himself like if
- 53:58Speaker 3: you look at, him he can Go i'm not probably
- 54:01Speaker 3: gonna knock anybody out a heavyweight with the WAY i.
- 54:04Speaker 3: Punched so develop something else and it, works and that's just.
- 54:07Speaker 1: Reality that's just the reality of his. FRAME i, mean you,
- 54:10Speaker 1: know is what as well as. Anybody it's weird how
- 54:13Speaker 1: some people can just. Punch they're like from the moment
- 54:16Speaker 1: they get into the, gym the first time they're hitting the, pads,
- 54:18Speaker 1: like what the. Fuck it's a natural. Gift punching power
- 54:22Speaker 1: is a weird natural gift and either you have it
- 54:24Speaker 1: or you. Don't and if you don't have, it you
- 54:26Speaker 1: can only develop it so.
- 54:27Speaker 3: Much i'm still trying to figure out IF i have.
- 54:29Speaker 1: It it's, physicists. MAN a lot of it is like
- 54:34Speaker 1: the size of your hands and my arms aren't they're?
- 54:37Speaker 3: Long, yeah so some of, it like A tapoia, has
- 54:40Speaker 3: like he's not as long as with his uh big ass.
- 54:44Speaker 3: FISTS i always like imitate The tatoya and The condor
- 54:48Speaker 3: McGregor little it's just fucking.
- 54:54Speaker 1: Funny Ship Well connor is another, example like big. Fists
- 54:58Speaker 1: many that dude's fists, there that's a big. Thing, YEAH
- 55:02Speaker 1: i got a little uh these, Hands, YEAH i do
- 55:04Speaker 1: what you gotta.
- 55:04Speaker 3: Do these hands are meant for grabbing.
- 55:06Speaker 1: Things, yeah well they're really good at. That but that's
- 55:08Speaker 1: the beautiful thing ABOUT mma as opposed to, Boxing like
- 55:11Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of different ways to finish a.
- 55:13Speaker 3: Fight, yeah what did you think about the fight With
- 55:17Speaker 3: yusuf before the fight? Happened like in terms of LIKE
- 55:21Speaker 3: i used to text, you like like, asking like your,
- 55:23Speaker 3: opinion like what do you?
- 55:24Speaker 1: Think you?
- 55:24Speaker 3: Know So i'm curious to know what your thoughts were
- 55:28Speaker 3: before the. Fight obviously, eyesight BECAUSE i know WHAT i
- 55:32Speaker 3: thought going To.
- 55:33Speaker 1: What did you think going into the?
- 55:34Speaker 3: FIGHT i thought it was gonna probably be one of
- 55:36Speaker 3: the hardest, fights for. Sure we've trained together multiple times
- 55:41Speaker 3: back in twenty. Seventeen we've trained together a couple of
- 55:43Speaker 3: times within the last two, years AND i always knew
- 55:47Speaker 3: he moved well on the, feet lateral, footwork great calf.
- 55:50Speaker 3: Cakes AND i said to, myself IF i get chopped
- 55:53Speaker 3: down with a couple of these calf cakes early in the,
- 55:55Speaker 3: fight it's gonna be a rough, night especially IF i
- 55:58Speaker 3: can't move and do WHAT i, do which Is i'm
- 56:00Speaker 3: also good at loatteral, footwork and he has those nasty
- 56:03Speaker 3: knees up the middle that are very quick to end
- 56:06Speaker 3: a fight or put you on skates and could get
- 56:08Speaker 3: you out of, there. Right and he did submit me
- 56:10Speaker 3: that one, time SO i think that really gave him
- 56:12Speaker 3: a lot of confidence coming into.
- 56:13Speaker 1: It so those were my.
- 56:15Speaker 3: THOUGHTS i was, like for me to win, THIS i
- 56:17Speaker 3: gotta stay on the outside and then put pressure on
- 56:19Speaker 3: him WHEN i can put pressure on, him take away
- 56:21Speaker 3: his calf cakes WHEN i can by putting him on
- 56:23Speaker 3: the back, foot making a little bit more difficult to
- 56:25Speaker 3: land that calf cake with, authority.
- 56:27Speaker 1: Right so that was my two cents on.
- 56:29Speaker 3: THAT i knew IF i could take him down, first
- 56:34Speaker 3: it should go my. Way well it. Worked, yeah it
- 56:38Speaker 3: was a little easier THAN i thought it would have.
- 56:42Speaker 1: Been BUT i think that a different. Beast, yeah T.
- 56:49Speaker 3: I was, like, OH i adin't plan for. THIS i
- 56:50Speaker 3: didn't plan for this.
- 56:51Speaker 1: One that was. Tight, yeah but you got out of.
- 56:53Speaker 1: It AND i think you're a different beast at forty,
- 56:55Speaker 1: five you. KNOW i think you just have more resilience
- 56:59Speaker 1: at Forty you're more durable at forty, five more energy.
- 57:02Speaker 3: Too, yeah that's where it comes.
- 57:04Speaker 1: From. Right it's. AGAIN i wish we could eliminate weightcutting
- 57:08Speaker 1: completely from, fighting And i've had conversations with THE ufc
- 57:11Speaker 1: about doing, it but there's no real road map that makes.
- 57:14Speaker 1: SENSE i think once guys get it ingrained in their
- 57:17Speaker 1: head that they're gonna cut, weight they're just always gonna cut.
- 57:19Speaker 1: Weight they're gonna even if there is weight, Classes they're
- 57:23Speaker 1: just gonna fight. Dehydrated they're gonna figure out a way
- 57:25Speaker 1: to be.
- 57:25Speaker 3: BIGGER i, mean we did it for, wrestling and we
- 57:29Speaker 3: competed two hours, later sometimes an.
- 57:31Speaker 1: Hour but you're not getting punched and kicked in the.
- 57:34Speaker 1: Head that's the.
- 57:34Speaker 3: Difference that's WHY i feel if they did same day
- 57:39Speaker 3: WANs kind of like what you do for an. Amateur
- 57:42Speaker 3: you can get as big as you can, get which
- 57:43Speaker 3: is gonna be very, little maybe five. Pounds SO i
- 57:46Speaker 3: go same day. Wanes you give them four, hours so
- 57:48Speaker 3: this way they can, eat have a nice, meal, digest
- 57:50Speaker 3: and then it can still warm up and have enough
- 57:53Speaker 3: time to prepare for the.
- 57:54Speaker 1: FIGHT i think for the fighter's own, safety you almost
- 57:57Speaker 1: have to protect them from, that and that's why they
- 57:59Speaker 1: have the way in the day before for their own,
- 58:01Speaker 1: safety because there's guys that are just gonna be stupid
- 58:04Speaker 1: and the fights are gonna. Suffer they're not gonna be
- 58:06Speaker 1: as good because you're gonna be more. DEPLETED i JUST
- 58:09Speaker 1: i just think there's gonna be people that understand you
- 58:13Speaker 1: can't cut twenty pounds the day of the fight and
- 58:18Speaker 1: go and.
- 58:18Speaker 3: COMPETE i think that's gonna be the, End like the
- 58:21Speaker 3: end will be all like you're gonna come to the realization, like,
- 58:23Speaker 3: hey they'll.
- 58:24Speaker 1: Just, lose and then it'll weed out the people that are.
- 58:26Speaker 3: Doing that and then they'll, Go, okay SO i didn't, work,
- 58:29Speaker 3: RIGHT i have to go up in away class and
- 58:31Speaker 3: this makes more sense for.
- 58:32Speaker 1: Me wouldn't it be better if we, look we have
- 58:35Speaker 1: random drug, tests, right they just show how many times
- 58:39Speaker 1: you've been randomly drug.
- 58:40Speaker 3: Tested what you saw up probably a. LOT i know
- 58:45Speaker 3: they have it on the. Website you could check how
- 58:46Speaker 3: many times people have been tested and. Whatnot so it's just.
- 58:48Speaker 3: Random now imagine if they did random weigh. Ins that'd be, cool,
- 58:54Speaker 3: yeah but then the problem would be what happens to
- 58:56Speaker 3: the day of the. Fight that's you, know like you
- 58:59Speaker 3: what if the guy doesn't make? Weight, yeah what if
- 59:01Speaker 3: you have a giant pay per view or a giant numbered.
- 59:04Speaker 1: Card is that? Dead you have a giant numbered card
- 59:08Speaker 1: and the guy doesn't cut weight or doesn't doesn't make,
- 59:11Speaker 1: weight what do you? Do do you still have the?
- 59:13Speaker 1: FIGHT i mean we had the fight, now, yeah BUT
- 59:17Speaker 1: i mean what Changes it would be different if you
- 59:19Speaker 1: only had to cut a few pounds, Though like if
- 59:21Speaker 1: it's so if you did it that, way random weigh
- 59:24Speaker 1: ins and then weigh in day of the, fight even
- 59:28Speaker 1: if a guy was, heavy like you weighed in you,
- 59:31Speaker 1: know one thirty seven or, Whatever you're, like, well you
- 59:33Speaker 1: got to lose two. Pounds anybody could lose two pounds
- 59:35Speaker 1: the day of and it's not that big a. Deal,
- 59:37Speaker 1: yeah if you're not cutting weight. Already, yeah if you're
- 59:41Speaker 1: not cutting weight already and you're fully hydrated and you
- 59:43Speaker 1: weigh in the scale one thirty seven five is. Easy
- 59:46Speaker 1: or just penalize them the same way we penalize them. Now,
- 59:49Speaker 1: yeah guys just going to take the penalty and fight.
- 59:51Speaker 1: Bigger but it's like.
- 59:52Speaker 3: You're, Ready you're like for, me if we did same day,
- 59:56Speaker 3: WEIGHS i would have to fight at one hundred and
- 59:58Speaker 3: fifty five. Pounds there's no way possibly even one seventy
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: because that's the weight class one sixty five would be
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: the sweet, spot whereas like this is, NICE i don't
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: have to. Cut i'm probably gonna fight guys more likely my,
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: size And i'm gonna feel. Good i'm gonna have the
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: energy to, compete And i'm not dehydrating myself severely or
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: one to fifty, five WHERE i could diet a little,
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: BIT i can still get, DOWN i hold myself for a,
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: meal step on the. SCALE i can have my. Meal,
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: NOW i feel. GOOD i go, compete But i'm not
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: dieting all the way down to one hundred and thirty
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: five pounds one hundred and forty five, Pounds so that's
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: a ten pound, gap you see What i'm. Saying so that's
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: WHY i think the same day it makes sense because
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: you're not as depleted where it wouldn't be as severe
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: in comparison to what we're doing.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: NOW i think that would be. Smart BUT i think
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: the only way that's really going to happen is if
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: you have more weight, classes like at least every ten.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: POUNDS i, mean look at. Boxing boxing has so many
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: more weight classes than THE, Ufc like how many weight
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: classes are there in boxing too. Many there's a, lot
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: there's like every three pounds. Sometimes well the life weights
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: right when you get down to like atom weight and
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: strawweight and, flyweight like their flyweights are fucking, tiny you,
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: know like their bantam weight is, what it's not one thirty,
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: five it's. Lower, yeah it's like one to twenty six or.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: Something it's bantam weight when eighteen that's. Crazy minimum, weight that's.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: Crazy imagine telling the lady that in the, bar what
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: do you? DO i? Fight we'll, wait you fight at minimum.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: WEIGHT i never even hearing it at.
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: Minimum weight is, crazy.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: YEAH i, mean but this is also Why Manny pakiao
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: was able to go up and win world championships in
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: eight different weight, classes which is fucking, bananas which cool
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: though it's, crazy but so go back to that, again,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: please so look at the difference in the gaps when
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: you get to the. Top you got one twenty two
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: to one twenty, six only four pounds one thirty another six,
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: pounds thirty, five another five, pounds it's kind of. Random
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: five more pounds to forty seven pounds to welterweight forty.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: Seven that's another stupid thing that we, do where we
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: have you have welterweight in, boxing which has existed since
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: the beginning of, time and it's always been one forty,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: Seven Sugar Ray, Leonard Tommy, hearns all his, People Roberto
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: duran one forty seven are welterweight one, Seventy, like it
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: doesn't even make any. Sense come up with another. Name,
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: yeah what's a? Welterweight you just something somebody made. Up
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: doesn't even make.
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: SENSE i just think we're we're like The americans versus The.
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: Europeans we just want to go against the. Green like
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: we have inches instead of centimeters like what we use in,
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: metrics and pounds versus. Kilos like we just.
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: We just, said fuck everything you're.
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: Doing we're gonna do everything.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: Different we're just gonna challenge everything that you're. Doing there's
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: a little of that, too BUT i think they just
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: wanted recognizable names when they came up with weight, classes
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: because remember there was only two at one point in.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: Time was it lightweight AND i don't, remember but When
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: Frank shamrock was fighting in his, day it was like two. Hundred,
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: yeah he fought at two hundred and then there was a.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: Heavyweight so, YEAH i don't even. KNOW i don't know
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: what those. WEIGHTS i used to, watch BUT i didn't. Know,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: SHIT i just.
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: WATCH i think it should just be the number you.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: Weigh it should be fighting the world champion at one
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: hundred and seventy, pounds that's what it should be. Like
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: wrestling doesn't have names for the weight. Classes, no you
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: just have. Weights we just have. Weights that's what it
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: should be. Like this is. Stupid the fuck is a wealthy? Weight?
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Well the fuck is a? Strawweight what's an atom? Weight you?
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: Know shut? Up what's a? Flyweight? Fuck? Very you know
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: you don't weigh with a? Flyways this is. Stupid flyweight's
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: a dumb. Name the one hundred and twenty five pounds
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: champion of the. World minimum weight is a ridiculous.

- 1:06:14Speaker 3: Higher imagine talking shit to that.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Guy all because you didn't know who he. Was he
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: just like it's a problem out there in the world right.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: Now there's so many guys who could fight as supposed
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: to just be, nice don't talk, Shit, yeah don't talk.
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: Shit everything would be. Okay, YEAH i, mean how hard is?
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: It so tell me what you think about this Weekend
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: islam Versus Ian. Gary so.
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: What's fascinating about this matchup is how Well Ian gary
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: can control the. RANGE i think he's going to be
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: much bigger Than islam in a sense of height reach.
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: Advantage in terms of, SIZE i never thought ian was
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: the biggest wealth.
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: TOWEIGHT i still don't think he.
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: Is, well he can't. Be he's so, tall he can't.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: Thick, No but in a, sense even when.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: You're talking just from a weight, standpoint from what he
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: was walking around at right and forgot what he told
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: me he walked around, there but he wasn't cutting a
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: whole lot of. WEIGHT i woant to, say off the
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: top of my, head maybe ten.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: Pounds which is why he's so. Healthy, yeah he has such.
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: Energy SO i, go you're cutting just, this and you're
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: going out there and doing this to these guys who are.
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: You, know essentially, bigger heavier. Guys but he's got the speed.
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: Advantage the thing About, islam he's such a complete. Fighter
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: he could do everything but this will be the first
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: time he's got a test with a guy who's a long,
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: man and can he get inside take him. DOWN i
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: don't think he's going to stand up and strike with.
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: Him he, can BUT i just don't think that's the
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: path to victory against the.
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: Guy like, AGAIN i don't think he has any plans
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: standing up and striking with him other than as a
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: means to an. End, yeah and his grappling is so high.
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: Level His islam's grappling right now is at the top
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: of the food.
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: CHAIN i always want to grapple with those guys just
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: to see Where i'm. At you should go over. THERE
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: i remember When alfa could be and al might have
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: been like the only guy who was able to like
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: escape certain positions multiple, times where most guys they kind
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: of just, concede defeet and they just. Fold and we
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: were talking, afterwards he goes, LIKE i think you would
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: actually do really well grappling with, him And i'm, like
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: probably try to get me killed right, now you trying
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: to get me killed by the. Bear but whenever he
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: when he said, that it kind of stuck with.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: Me i'm, like, MAN.
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: I just from my own like, experience not like an
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: ego thing or anything like.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: That just be cool to.
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: See AND i would like for them to put it
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: on me just SO i can see like Where i'm,
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: at see If i'm how my strength measures up with
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: theirs POSITIONALLY iq knowing when to transition to certain. Spots of,
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: course the weight it's going to play a big, advantage
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: but it's still cool BECAUSE i grapple with bigger. Guys
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: i've grappled With, wyman AND i always Tell chris, LIKE
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: i wish we were the same, size because you would
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: have been my main training, partner, bro you, know because
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: that would have been cool like kind of coming up that.
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: Way but you, know Obviously morob was my, Guy al
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: was my Guy.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: Dennis what happened mirob as a training partner must have
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: been an awesome. Advantage, oh it's the.
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: Greatest this is, like, no there's no replicating. That AND
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: i see guys outside of like they'll watch and they'll, think,
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: like you, know he's kind of like all over the,
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: Place he's not, really and then they're going there with,
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: it will go h it feels a little different that
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: you've been in there with the.
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: Guy it's it's a whole.
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: Different beast to watch from the, Outside you're, like what
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: is he actually good? At but it's just like the
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: chaos that he, brings always constantly challenging your nervous, system
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: reacting to his, fins his. Movement he's just he's just
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: always giving you something to think. About AND i REMEMBER
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: gsp talked about, that just saying, like you want to
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: use your fans to challenge the nervous, system get guys to,
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: react because eventually you start to, Slowly like in the,
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: beginning we're, quick, twitchy, right we could react to.
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: Everything we're super.
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: Sharp as time starts to go, on those reaction times
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: starts to go a little bit.
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: Slower you don't.
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: React as fast or as, quickly and things that we're
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: landing weren't landing are now. Landing fross talks about that a.
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: Lot, YEAH i think that's Where george got At, yes for,
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: us very smart, Dude so very smart. Dude when it
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: comes to like strategy and understanding like what's going on with,
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: fighters why they're reacting to certain, things and what to
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: do and how to. Counter it's not. Guesswork it's like
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: a really, intelligent structured system of what to. Do, yeah
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: you have to be like.
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: That, YEAH i think some guys they train and then
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: go and fight without any.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: Goal in.
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: Mind AND i try to pre this BECAUSE i used
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: to coach At longos a lot, before you, know running
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: a lot of my own, practices training camps and stuff like.
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: That SO i took over the role of you know,
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: What we're going to add these two MM a classes
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: in and when we come, in we're going to work
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: on separate things from my fight and anybody who has a,
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: Fight and If i'm not, fighting we're going to focus
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: on you, Guys and even IF i have a, fight
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: we'll also work in positions that you guys need to work.
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: On AND i always try to explain to you, guys
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: like when you're coming, in you should have a. Mission
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: don't just waste an, hour hour and a half of
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: training just to SAY i. Trained that's cool if you
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: don't have a, Fight but you should always be looking
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: for something to get better, at something that you can improve.
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: At when you're, Sparring, hey you're not just going in
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: there to Spar there should be an. Intent your sparring
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: partner should be looking to give you a look for the,
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: fight and you shouldn't be looking to be a complete
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: asshole and kill your sparring, partner because then nobody wants
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: to spar with. You, right they're doing you a, favor
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: and you need the favor from them to get where
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: you want to. Be to make sure all the things
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: that you're drilling on the, pads drilling what your partners
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: one on, one and then when you go into sparring
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: and putting it, together pull it from one hundred, percent
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: pull it down to like. Seventy this way you can.
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: Work in real. TIME i call it guided.
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: DISCOVERY i learned This Sunny courtland WHEN i was studying
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: to be A pe.
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: MAJOR i guided.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: Discovery, yeah so you're working on certain things and say
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: we're doing wrestling and you're learning the. POSITION i show
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: you a high, Crotch you grab the trice up or
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: you post. It you shoot the high, crotch which means
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: your head is on the, outside AND i attack the.
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: Leg two hands are now locked on the outside. Leg
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: my head is on the, outside And i'm in a strong.
- 1:12:18Speaker 3: Position my pasta straight and now you're learning. Defense, okay
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: so from a defensive, position a guy shoots a, shot super,
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: clean super. Perfect what are my choices THAT i can.
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: Make what are the. OPTIONS i could turn the head
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: to the inside stuff to. HEAD i could push the
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: head further the outside and stuff the head to the
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: outside where his head already is and look to cut the.
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: Corner OR i could use my stuff to head and
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: use my my wizard or tight, waist plugging the hip
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: stuff in the head and rotating my. Hips and if
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: he puts me down to the, map what is my
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: responses from? That so then you're chaining everything together and
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: you kind of got a system of my, responses So
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: i'm not just doing stuff based on. Instinct instinct is,
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: good but you should also have instinctual habits if that makes,
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: sense like stuff that you know will, work and then
- 1:13:05Speaker 3: you fine tune it to, know this is my line of.
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: Defense if he goes here AND i feel him going this,
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: WAY i go this. Way and if he's starting to
- 1:13:11Speaker 3: turn the other, way THEN i KNOW i need to
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: do this and turn his head the other, way put
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: my pressure on my weight in another position so THAT
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: i can now create this space SO i can escape
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: and get my leg. Out and a lot of guys
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: they're not trained like. That they're, going they're, sparring they're
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: just throwing a bunch of. Punches maybe they're throwing set
- 1:13:27Speaker 3: combos at the head on the, Paths but how are
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: you setting it?
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: Up are you fainting moving him.
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: Towards the, cage looking for the gap where the octagon
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: kind of changes where it's no longer like a flat
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: surface and it's cutting at an angle where you take
- 1:13:40Speaker 3: away a little real estate and then you're trapping them
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: where there's not a lot of room for them to
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: get back. From but now you can set up your
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: strikes and know where you're trying to. Go but If
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: i'm cutting him off and he constantly does this and
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: he maybe juke steps me and goes back the other
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: direction That i'm starting my, combination now he's. Gone so it's,
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: like how do you set up all these? Things you
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: know exactly where you want to, go because he's going
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: to have an option in the fight in road, time
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: but in training is where you should be working out
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: the kinks and understanding. This AND i truly feel this
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: is one of the Things i'd done so well early
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: on in my career and WHY i was teaching class
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: BECAUSE i felt like the guys needed. IT i was
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: taking these guys down at. Will there was no. Resistance i'm,
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: Like i'm, Good but how good AM i? Actually because
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: these guys they just don't, know they don't have the. Information,
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: okay let's level them. Up now these guys are leveled.
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: Up it makes it harder for. Me NOW i have
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: to improve What i'm doing AND i have to bring
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: a different. Approach, okay he knows how to do this,
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: now so WHEN i do, THIS i can't just to
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: get an easy take down. Way i'm just going to
- 1:14:41Speaker 3: send him to. This but he's now challenging me with
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: the wizard stuff in my, head breaking my. Posture Now i'm,
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: Elongated i'm on the, ground Maybe i'm on both. Knees
- 1:14:49Speaker 3: how DO I readjust post my hand get hired, again
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: attacking the, legs taking them back the other, way or
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: coming through the, middle through the crotch and finishing a
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: takedown like what we call some people call It, iranian
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: call it an All american. Finish but there's just so
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: many little. Nuances AND i feel IN mma that people
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: are still training just to. Train AND i think that's
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: the difference between understanding your. Timing you know the same,
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: moves but IF i know it, faster IF i know
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: how to react faster to, You i'm gonna win that
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: position or the situation every single time unless you throw
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: caution to the win and it's just some random wild
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: card THAT i just get caught, by which If i'm
- 1:15:25Speaker 3: aware it should be the chance of that should be
- 1:15:28Speaker 3: very very.
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: Low, well that's the benefit of teaching the people that
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: you're training with everything you know that, way you must
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: come up with a new solution and you're forcing. It
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: what do you hold? That what do you hold?
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: That not everything.
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: Get. Close but that's also world champion mindset versus someone
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: who's just a fighter who fights and does well and
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: is a good. Fighter but there's so many times WHERE
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: i watch guys fight AND i watch exchanges and they're
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: wading towards each other and throwing bombs at each, other
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: and one guy wins and one guy. Loses But i'm,
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: like this is not the ultimate way to do. This
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: this is you can do. It you can be a
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: battering ram and a blunt force object and you can
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: get it. Done we've seen so many fights that have
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: just been insane first round, wars and then we've seen
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: guys that just are slick and they're moving around and
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: switching stances and doing wild shit that you don't expect
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: and overwhelming the other guy's nervous system and not getting
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: hit and doing things where you're, like oh my, god
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: that's so, sweet that's so. Smooth and those are the
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: guys that are going to, excel and those are the
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: guys that are going to really take it to the next.
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: Level AND i think when you're talking about all these,
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: guys like The caucus, guys These dakistani, guys these so
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: many guys that are coming up right now that are
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: so fucking high, Level like you can't have any flaws
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: in your game. Anymore you can't just be a guy
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: who wades at someone and tries to throw bombs and
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: hopes they. LAND i, mean maybe that works on a regional,
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: scene maybe that works with training partners that are a
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: lower level than, You but you're gonna get pieced up
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: if you fight someone who's really. Good but there's levels
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: and levels and, levels and the levels are changing all the,
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: time the levels are moving up all the. Time if
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: you just go back to The Ultimate Fighter season, one
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: that's two thousand and, five that's not that long. Ago
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: in regular, sports two thousand and, five boxers look pretty
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: similar to twenty twenty six. Boxers, yeah you, know pretty
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: fucking similar at the world championship level And, mma, man
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: there's no. Comparison it's nuts night and, day night and,
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: day and these guys are getting better all the. TIME
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: i see guys coming off The contender, Series i'm, Like,
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: okay this guy looks like a world. Champion like right,
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: now it's crazy that Ethan ewing. Kid that guy comes
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: out of nowhere matrix and he's fighting so smooth and
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: so slick and so intelligent and the footwork and the
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: feints and the movement and knowing what to do at
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: any given, time and you're, like these guys are just
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: so good, now they're so.
- 1:17:59Speaker 3: GOOD i was bummed out when he got hurt for
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: that fight with that was a. Bummer did have a
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: tough fight, Though BUT i was curious to see how
- 1:18:08Speaker 3: that one was gonna go Because ian to, me is
- 1:18:10Speaker 3: the dark horse in that division right.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: Now yeah, Easily, Yeah, yeah he's the. Wellmaker fight was
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: a big wake up call to. People and then he
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: fought That brazilian cat and just lit him on. Fire
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: to undefeated guys back to, back and it's the way
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: he did it. Too, man it was so, slick and you,
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: realize like there are, levels and these guys coming up right,
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: now they are already at a level that's above and
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: beyond world championship level of fifteen years. Ago, yeah it's.
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: Crazy it's two fights in THE ufc and you, know
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: twenty years ago you would have said he was the.
- 1:18:42Speaker 3: Goat but what's fascinating is, like from a striking, standpoint
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: you could see that and look at a guy and,
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: go this guy is the real. Deal but then you
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: kind of, wonder, like, well what happens later in the
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: rounds if a guy does take him? Down and how
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: can he adjust to those takedowns in terms of a
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: cardio standpoint and lack the gas that build? Up can
- 1:19:01Speaker 3: he turn it around and still be as efficient as?
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: Effective so there's so many like variables when it comes
- 1:19:07Speaker 3: to things like, that and when people are game planning
- 1:19:10Speaker 3: and approaching. Fights those are the THINGS i like to think.
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: About first, round everyone is, dangerous everyone is so, Skilled
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: but it's, Like, okay IF i can get out of
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: the first, round what does the fight start to look?
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: Like how DO i paint the picture if it goes
- 1:19:23Speaker 3: in this? Direction he's able to get off a couple
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: of these, things And i'm beating up a little. Bit
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: what are my fallback defenses to try to turn the
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: tide a little bit and get it back to going
- 1:19:34Speaker 3: where the ball's now back in my.
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: Court, well that was WHY i was so interested in
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: seeing what happens in The connor McGregor Max holloway, fight
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: which was crazy that the result was, ridiculous but take that.
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: AWAY i was interested BECAUSE i was, like If connor
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: can't take him out, Quickly Max holloway does not get.
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: Tired he does not get, tired and he's so accustomed
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: to that five round. Pace he understands when to hit the,
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: gas when to back, off he knows when to move
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: when to and he's always moving and. Side it's, like
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: you want to talk about getting, Overwhelmed Like Max holloway
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: overwhelms people with, pressure pace and feints and. Skill, yeah
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: and he's not going. Anywhere you guarantee he's going to
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: be fighting in the fourth, round just like he was
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: fighting in the first. Round he's not going to fade
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: one of the worst matchups For. Connor if he couldn't
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: take him out of the first, ROUND i.
- 1:20:35Speaker 3: ELSE i was hoping we got to see. MORE i
- 1:20:38Speaker 3: think the world was hoping.
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: We got to see. Anything we didn't see.
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: Anything but it's crazy because he threw that same kick
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: in the back, room but this time he runs at
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: him and he throws a lens and it's, like.
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: Well he threw that. Kick when you're hitting a pad
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: is very different than when you're kicking the. Air you
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: never throw that kick in the. Air you throw that
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: kick jumping in the. Air the amount of torque that
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: is on your supporting leg is. Bananas you're just hoping
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: and praying that your knee stays. Together, look if you
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: throw a jumping, sidekick that's a different. Thing you're landing
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: on the. Ground you're landing in a linear way right
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: when you're rotating and kicking and flying through the air
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: at the same, time and your opponent adjust so you're
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: trying to like change the arc in, midair try to
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: catch him as he's circling. Off it's the worst kick
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: to jump and, Throw.
- 1:21:28Speaker 3: SO i gotta stop doing that with jumping roundhouse.
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: Kicks jumping roundhouse kicks are great if you're close enough
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: to land. Them, yeah you, know if you're close enough
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: to land. Them who is that guy that landed? It
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: On Bonfime, no not On, bondfime on On James vick
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: in karate. Combat did you see that he throws that
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: jumping switch? Kicks, yes, Yes gabriel the. Turn what is his? Name?
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: Alvez Raphael. Alves it was one of the worst Chaos
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: i've ever seen in my. Life why Is James vick still?
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: Fighting he likes?
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: FIGHTING i, Guess, oh he's only thirty. Seven i'm thirty.
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: Seven had a lot of, chaos my, bad cuz, unfortunately
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: and this dude he hit him with this this jumping
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: just right before, that but he looks like a tank
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: compared to. Him, well it's just this. Height his speed is.
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: Crazy james zck is tall and very skillful, too but
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: it's just this kick would have knocked him out at
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: any point in his, career any point in his, career
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: and any human. Being, look this is too. Much there's
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: the amount of force that he lands when he lands this,
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: kick when he throws, that he throws the jumping roundhouse,
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: kick touches him with the right leg and then comes
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: up top with the left and just clean across the.
- 1:22:44Speaker 3: Chin they're doing some good stuff at karate.
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: Combat, yeah, man Fun rebellis was fighting there right before, That.
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: JAMIE a little further, ahead go to like right below
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: up before where The brazilian flag.
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: Is rebella's combined fights In Kadi kambay was like what
- 1:23:02Speaker 3: less than two.
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: MINUTES i, know he's just. There it is, there it,
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: Is so let's watch that, again back it up. Again
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: so watch how he throws it. BOOM i mean it
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: is clean shin to the. JAW i, mean there's no
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: why is he's pointing at?
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: HIM i don't.
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: Know shit's now he's bowing in praying. WELL i mean
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: he realized after it was over how serious it. Was
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: so watch this touches him with the right and then
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: the left. CARS i mean it's literally. Perfect that probably
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: would have killed him at any point in the time
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: in his, career and When james has been in the
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: amount of wars that he's been in and.
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: He had his the canvas is the.
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: Worst oh he was he could have. Died that was
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: one of those ones where he could have, died BECAUSE
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: i think he was in the intensive care for quite
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: a while after this. Fight, really, yeah he was hospitalized
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: for quite a while after this, fight AND i think
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: it was pretty pretty. Serious that. Sucks it was a bad.
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: Headkick that was a bad. One it's a rough. Sport
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: it's a rough, sport.
- 1:23:56Speaker 3: And there's times you don't. Play there's times.
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: Where guys get killed and they're never the same. Again you,
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: know Like Terry edam When Edson barbosa hit him with
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: that wheel. Kack, Yeah Terry edam was a real contender
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: before that, fight and we never really saw him after.
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: That it never really achieved those. Levels, AGAIN i.
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: Don't even did he even fight after.
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: That maybe, once, maybe, MAYBE i don't, Know i'm not,
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: sure but that fight essentially ended his career because it
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: was SO i, mean and, again that's one of those. Kicks.
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: Though the wheel kickers so Much torque. BRO i remember
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: my fight With marlon AND.
- 1:24:30Speaker 3: I THOUGHT i was going to be one of those.
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: GUYS i was so, LIKE i don't say, paranoid but, nervous,
- 1:24:37Speaker 3: concern any adjective that you could choose to describe. IT
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: i was just like man after the, fight after the
- 1:24:44Speaker 3: fight of getting hit like that, again yeah, yeah.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: Not even get hit like that.
- 1:24:47Speaker 3: Again IF i could even take a, shot and mind,
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: YOU i had my phys ed, DEGREE i could have
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: win just.
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: Been a gym.

- 1:25:29Speaker 3: PUSHING i remember after, THAT i didn't spar for like three,
- 1:25:32Speaker 3: months and the next FIGHT i had.
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: What a lot of people, think you should take even
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: more time off than.
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: THAT i needed the, Money and that's the shitty part
- 1:25:39Speaker 3: about this this, gig.
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: Right you need the. Money you need the.

- 1:26:08Speaker 3: is a, wizard you know WHAT i. Mean this is
- 1:26:10Speaker 3: my perception of him going into this. Fight AND i
- 1:26:12Speaker 3: told the guys And i'm gonna spar these last three four.
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: Weeks i'm gonna just circle And i'm gonna wrestle like you.
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: Guys try to hit, me but just KNOW i don't

- 1:26:23Speaker 1: ME i still want to have like my.
- 1:26:25Speaker 3: Awareness but that whole last three four, weeks everything was
- 1:26:29Speaker 3: just grappling before, that, striking hitting Pads. CARDIO i was,
- 1:26:32Speaker 3: Like i'm gonna just use my footwork and WHATEVER i
- 1:26:35Speaker 3: could do and thankfully.
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: Work how much time between The marlin fight and that fight.
- 1:26:39Speaker 3: Was April december, ninth twenty, seventeen so it was four
- 1:26:44Speaker 3: months just about, yeah, wow which was. Scary it was,
- 1:26:48Speaker 3: scary and they offered me to. FIGHT i was, LIKE
- 1:26:50Speaker 3: i don't know If i'm supposed to be doing this right.
- 1:26:52Speaker 3: Now BUT i kind of need the, money so, well
- 1:26:55Speaker 3: you needed the.
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: Money but IF i could give an advice to Like,
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: VOLKANOVSKI i would have, Said first of, ALL i would have,
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: said never take a fight With Islami katschev on eleven. Days,
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: notice that's just. Crazy, never especially when you're not training at,
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: all you're just kind of, chilling and you take a
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: fight with one of the best pound for pound, fighters
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: if not the best on the, planet and you get head,
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: kicked and then to Fight ilia just a few months
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: after that is kind of.
- 1:27:21Speaker 3: Crazy, yeah and he was looking good in that first
- 1:27:25Speaker 3: round Until ilia does what he, does traps you against
- 1:27:28Speaker 3: that black, line against the, cage and he puts those
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: combinations on you and puts the lights. Out and, YEAH
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: i agree he should have taken more. Time he would
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: have been okay with taking more.
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: Time you've got to take more. Time you have. To
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: you just have to realize that as tough as you,
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: are your body is a machine and if the machine's,
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: broken it's got to be, repaired and it's going to
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: take time to. Repair it's not as simple as like
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: you go to the, shop you get a new, carburetor
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: you're good to. Go you gotta give your body time to.
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: Heal and with the, head it's hard because you don't.
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: Know, yeah it's the wild card's and everyone is. Different
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: AND i kind of wonder if that's something to do
- 1:28:08Speaker 3: with like the way people grow, up if maybe they
- 1:28:10Speaker 3: dropped on the head a couple of times when they were.
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: Kids, sure, football play football in high, school get kaot
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: a few times doing. That you, know you get kaot
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: a few times doing stupid shit with your.
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: Friends and then you get older and now you're trying to,
- 1:28:23Speaker 3: compete and you REALIZE i can't take a, shot, yeah
- 1:28:26Speaker 3: as much AS i.
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: THOUGHT i could.
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: Have and, like you see a guy Like Diego lopez
- 1:28:30Speaker 3: and you're, like, dude you got his his chin is. Granted,
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: bro it's, like what can you hit him with that
- 1:28:36Speaker 3: can actually put him?
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: Down it's. Crazy, well if he continues getting, hit there'll
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: be a, time. Right but Remember Chuck, Ladell Chush ladell
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: in the early days was. Bulletproof he was. Bulletproof he
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: would just wait at, guys bite down his, mouthpiece eat
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: shots to the head and take guys. Out and he
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: didn't give a. Fuck he had full confidence in his
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: chin and would force guys to these chaotic wars and

- 1:34:49Speaker 3: Questions they'll go from fighter, pay And i've been in
- 1:34:52Speaker 3: the headlines will fight to pay many, times many many.
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: Times it's a legitimate. Argument it.
- 1:34:58Speaker 3: Is but for some, reason WHEN i WHEN i talk about,
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: IT i Am and maybe Because i'm not the crazy
- 1:35:03Speaker 3: guy like A Sean, strickland Because strickland has talked about,
- 1:35:06Speaker 3: it and he's always been he's known as the crazy.
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: Guy but when he talks about, it he.
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: Makes it a very logical understanding bit WHERE i, go
- 1:35:16Speaker 3: how come he's not Getting maybe he. Is MAYBE i
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: just don't know BECAUSE i don't. Ask i'm, like for some,
- 1:35:20Speaker 3: reason WHEN i say it, IS i feel Like i'm
- 1:35:22Speaker 3: a little bit more.
- 1:35:23Speaker 1: Screwtinized so what did does THE ufc get upset at?
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: You do they say that they're upset at? You you
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: don't have to talk about this if you don't want.
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: TO i feel like this is a real. Issue is
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: going to get in trouble with The no because we
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: haven't you you. Are look When Eve luev And Alexander
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: hernett when when they. Fight, yeah it's is very Soon
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: folkanovski is defending his title against, Finally like whoa that
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: guy has been waiting.
- 1:35:49Speaker 3: Forever, yeah everybody, Ever SO i don't really know who's
- 1:35:53Speaker 3: a clear cut guy for me to face unless It's Laron.
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: MURPHY i was told he was. HURT i think he's.
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: BOOKED i Heard loron's got A i heard he was.
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: Hurt oh, really maybe he had to fight schedule and
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: it doesn't. Anymore, yeah BUT i thought he has a
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: fight coming.
- 1:36:08Speaker 3: Up, YEAH i was told he was, Hurt so he's
- 1:36:10Speaker 3: gonna be out for a couple of. MONTHS i don't
- 1:36:12Speaker 3: know how. LONG i don't know how serious of an.
- 1:36:14Speaker 3: Injury but everybody else's booked and.
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: Who did he just lose To Laron Mosar that's, right
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: which was. CRAZY i thought that fight should have been
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: scored to. Draw did with the point? Deduction should have
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: been scored to? Draw what was the point deduction? FOR
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: i think it was a low. Blow but they gave.
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: Him they gave him four. Rounds they gave most are four.
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: Rounds i'd have to watch it. AGAIN i didn't think
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: it was a bad decision WHEN i saw, it it.
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: Was it was a competitive.
- 1:36:42Speaker 3: Fight mozart didn't decide to wrestle him until round the
- 1:36:45Speaker 3: end of round, three and he just goes to show
- 1:36:47Speaker 3: he could have taken him down anytime he. Wanted i'm,
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: WELL i think Most vart. Wanted he wanted to show his.
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: Striking yes he does have, striking but because of, that
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: he made. It he made it.
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: More controversial to the over ro off fan base because
- 1:37:01Speaker 3: he decided to use his wrestling a lot later on
- 1:37:03Speaker 3: in a.
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: Fight BUT i think he needed to show that he's not.
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: Boring but he'd get a shot at the, title and
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: now he's got a shot at the, title.
- 1:37:10Speaker 3: But the stand up fight between rounds one and two
- 1:37:12Speaker 3: was still like there's nothing.
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: HAPPENING i thought it was pretty. GOOD i thought it
- 1:37:16Speaker 1: was pretty chess. MATCH i think it was it was
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: opening up larone to shots THAT i don't think he
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: expected were coming at, him BECAUSE i think he probably
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: anticipated shot, takedowns takedown, attempts and instead most far was
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: getting off on. Him, yeah he gets strike he, can
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: but it's like, you it's, like why do it when
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: you're better at, grappling if you can get a hold of,
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: them why do? It? Why why roll the? Dice and
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: you know when people, say like like a lot of
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: people were upset When morob Beat Sugar, Shawan, yeah and
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: they were saying like that was. Boring that was just, like,
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: listen this is the sport we're. Watching if a guy
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: Like morob can take you down and give you noogies
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: for five rounds and you can't do and you lose your,
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: title that's how it. Goes you can't say that's boring
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: and he should fight, differently Because shawn's got to come
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: up with a. Solution he's got to figure out how
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: to deal with. That salas makes fis is about the. Story,
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: yep how'd you do against this? Guy it's on market
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: Versus Ian? Garrett same, Thing how does he do with this?
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: Guy connor McGregor versus could be goa met? Off same
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: thing about the. Storyline, Yeah connor was protecting his WHOLE ufc.
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: Run now he's fighting a, good.
- 1:38:28Speaker 3: High level, grappler probably arguably the best grappler from the
- 1:38:32Speaker 3: top position clinch position ever, Ever and it's the. Storyline
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: Can connor McGregor overcome? This can he land a perfect?
- 1:38:40Speaker 3: Shot it's what gets you to buy into. It but
- 1:38:43Speaker 3: if you're gonna be pissed that the machine is going
- 1:38:45Speaker 3: to come in and your guy can't land the perfect,
- 1:38:49Speaker 3: punch whose fall is? That it's, like but this is
- 1:38:52Speaker 3: why you're. Watching you're tuning. In you're not tuning in
- 1:38:54Speaker 3: to watch a slaughtering of the. Lambs you want to
- 1:38:57Speaker 3: watch a competitive. Fight if you just want to watch
- 1:38:58Speaker 3: one sided, FIGHTS i don't, Know, like what do you?
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: Want? YEAH i mean it was one sided in the
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: in that he was able to take him down at.
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: Will but also the problem Was sean fought that fight
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: with a fucked up hip and really probably shouldn't have
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: been fighting like he had a tear in his. Hip,
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: yeah but we all have.
- 1:39:17Speaker 3: Stuff of, COURSE i went to the fight With sean
- 1:39:20Speaker 3: injured coming into the. Fight he gets injured during the training,
- 1:39:23Speaker 3: camp and then he uses THAT i had a busted.
- 1:39:25Speaker 3: RIB i, go, bro we all have, stuff but you
- 1:39:28Speaker 3: were in a better position to win this fight THAN
- 1:39:30Speaker 3: i was coming into the.
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: Fight the same. Thing when he hurt his, HIP i don't.
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: Know but then they fought again and it was. Worse
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: it was. Worse so, Well morob was like super confident
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: coming in the second fight that he's gonna be able
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: to take him. Down and then also he had that
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: championship level. Confidence of, course you get that level, up
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: that level. Up.
- 1:39:47Speaker 3: Yeah so it's like it's not Knocking, sean it's not
- 1:39:50Speaker 3: knocking the, fans but it's, like, yo this is the
- 1:39:51Speaker 3: game that we're. Playing no one's coming into. THIS i
- 1:39:54Speaker 3: was talking to the guys that waste so, Well they're,
- 1:39:56Speaker 3: like it's fascinating how many of you guys.
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: Are so beating.
- 1:39:59Speaker 3: Up i'm going down a list of my injuries and
- 1:40:01Speaker 3: EVERYTHING i got going. ON i was, LIKE i got
- 1:40:03Speaker 3: to m right for. THIS i got to m right for.
- 1:40:04Speaker 3: This this hurting that's been bothering me for two. Years
- 1:40:07Speaker 3: this has been still, ongoing AND i still go fight
- 1:40:10Speaker 3: and you would never think, it but that's just what it. Is,
- 1:40:12Speaker 3: like we gotta do what we gotta. Do we're never
- 1:40:14Speaker 3: gonna be one hundred percent going into. It like old, sports.
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: Guys have fought in world championships with blown out knees and,
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: won you. KNOW i mean When Alex pereira Beat Urie,
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: prajasca he had a fucked up knee in the first. Fight,
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: yeah and that's why when you see him get on
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: top of him when he's finishing, him he rolls over like.
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: Rolls instead of stepping up and standing, over he rolled
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: off of him because his knee was blown. Out Carlos, Oberg,
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: yeah that was, crazy but that was On. Uri that
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: was such a, blunder such a Blunt, well That's yuri's
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: craziness where it's not. Good you, know some Of URI's
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: craziness is. Great like when he Fought, JAMAL i felt
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: for him so.
- 1:40:53Speaker 3: BAD i did, too BECAUSE i was just, like it's
- 1:40:57Speaker 3: not LIKE i, SAID i wanted him to, win BUT
- 1:40:58Speaker 3: i felt for, him, like, damn you made the biggest
- 1:41:01Speaker 3: mistake that you could have possibly made in a situation like.
- 1:41:05Speaker 3: That it's literally the only thing you can hit you,
- 1:41:07Speaker 3: with fucking, hell and he lends it.
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: With he can't he doesn't have a right. Leg his
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: right leg is completely. Gone but he could still throw
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: that left. Hook you, know that's his best punch.
- 1:41:20Speaker 3: LIGHTNING i always tell people the way he leaves that
- 1:41:22Speaker 3: that he uh just leaves out that lead hand and
- 1:41:25Speaker 3: he's measuring stiff jab and he's stepping back and he
- 1:41:28Speaker 3: takes that side step pivot that el step in and.
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: Boom it's just he's clean with. That that division is
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: on fire right. Now how about novel hole star about
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: to say what happens with those two guys WHO i
- 1:41:40Speaker 1: know in the same?

- 1:42:08Speaker 3: from but it's.
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: LIKE i think that's how Old glover was when he beat. Him,
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: Really clover was like forty two when he won the. Title,
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: fuck he was in his.
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: Forties it's, doable it's, doable, easy but it's.
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: Doable, yeah it's not normal. NORMAL i Mean glover was
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: the boogeyman for six years before he could ever get
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: to THE. Ufc everybody had talked About glover like he was,
- 1:42:29Speaker 1: scary but he was trapped In. Brazil he couldn't visa,
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: issues he couldn't get a visa to come To america and,
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: fight and during those six years he might have been
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: the best light heavyweight on the.
- 1:42:39Speaker 3: Planet, YEAH i remember he told because when he got,
- 1:42:41Speaker 3: signed he got signed pretty what is like late twenties maybe.
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: THIRTIES i think he was in his. Thirties, Yeah AND.
- 1:42:49Speaker 3: I didn't know about hiuntil he came over and made
- 1:42:51Speaker 3: that debut and it was Against Fabi Fabio. MALDONADO i
- 1:42:54Speaker 3: think maybe, hmm but, yes sometimes it just goes like.
- 1:42:58Speaker 3: That even Like, prairie he came over so, late started so,
- 1:43:01Speaker 3: late as you, say and for him to do what
- 1:43:03Speaker 3: he has done in such a short amount of time
- 1:43:05Speaker 3: is like, unreal.
- 1:43:06Speaker 1: Unreal, yeah pretty. Extraordinary how impressed were you With Cyril gone?
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: Though Very how many heavyweights can move like?
- 1:43:15Speaker 3: That? Dude? Zero and that's the whole thing with the
- 1:43:17Speaker 3: aspinall fight THAT i was. SAYING i was, Like, dude
- 1:43:20Speaker 3: this guy played. Basketball it's a different type of, athleticism
- 1:43:23Speaker 3: quick twitch, muscles knows how to, pivot fake hit his.
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: Jukes it's like, pliometrics like a giant man. Pliometrics.
- 1:43:32Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah and he's great at just holding the range
- 1:43:36Speaker 3: outside of the, eyepokes but great at holding the.
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: Range, also the dude never gets. Hit, yeah what was
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: the last time we SAW i, mean think About gone
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: is fighting in the heavyweight. Division he's fighting guys like
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: tie To. Vasa he's, fighting you, know these elite, guys
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: these big, heavyweights and you never see him get, cracked
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: even against In. GHANMENT i about to, say even Against,
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: gone he did.
- 1:43:57Speaker 3: It he didn't get.
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: CRACKED i, mean that's kind of crazy that he's so
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: good at avoiding getting. Hit he's probably like the least
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: hit clean heavyweight in the.
- 1:44:06Speaker 3: DIVISION i think that fight With John jones made people
- 1:44:09Speaker 3: think less of him than what he actually.
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: Is it's just that's how Good John. Jones that's how
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: Good John jones. Is especially If john gets a hold
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: of your, neck he's going to finish. It and the
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: way he did, it you, know taking him down like
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: that in the first round and guillotining him in. Phenomenal
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: but it's just you have to deal with that speed
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: and that movement standing up before you could ever get
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: that to. Happen And john figured it. Out BUT i
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: Think cyril has tightened up his takedown defense considerably since that. Fight,
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: yeah BECAUSE i think he, realized, like this is the
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: big hole in his. GAME i know he brought in
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: a lot of real big, wrestlers but when it comes to,
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: kickboxing when it comes to Muy, thai he's so hard
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: to fuck, with and he that style is different than
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: everybody else's. Style he's, nasty light on his. Feet he
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: does a weird thing too from his. Side, yeah that front,
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: kick that twisting front kick from the front leg is
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: the way he.
- 1:45:05Speaker 3: Stands he stands almost like this bladed but it's like
- 1:45:08Speaker 3: not really, bladed but it is and allows him to
- 1:45:11Speaker 3: have that dexterity and the flexibility where he could just
- 1:45:14Speaker 3: look like he's throwing a front.
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: Kick but he's throws it's a twisting. Kick, yeah there's
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: a kick in taekwondo called a twisting, kick and that's
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: what it's. Like it's from this. Position you throw it
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: out like that with the ball the, foot so you're
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: standing completely sideways and your left your front leg comes
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: up and it twists and goes like. That and that's
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: what he's doing to the. Body he's throwing a twisting
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: front kick to the. Body it's. Nasty see if you
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: can find it in. Here, well that's his round, kick
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: but it's it's off of his front. Leg he throws
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: it off the front leg and he throws it completely.
- 1:45:48Speaker 1: Sideways and when you get to, moving he's. Gone and
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: then and also you might try to like overemphasize those
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: movements and he counters catching you coming in because he's
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: faster than. You and that's what he did To. Alex,
- 1:46:01Speaker 1: yeah he caught him with. That he caught him with a.
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: JAB i mean that's what he really rocked him. With
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: it was a right.
- 1:46:05Speaker 3: Jab alex was, big that. Huge it's freaking. ASS i was, like,
- 1:46:09Speaker 3: yo this is like, distracting. Bro you got a fucking
- 1:46:13Speaker 3: but dunk a. Dunk that's fucking blocking my vision of
- 1:46:16Speaker 3: the screen right, Now alex like move turned the other.
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: Way it was the worst matchup For alex to step into.
- 1:46:22Speaker 1: HEAVYWEIGHT a guy who is bigger than him naturally moves
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: faster than him and lighter on his, feet and is
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: also an elite, striker a world championship caliber striker at
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: a heavyweight, level because like you, Know alex has been
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: one eighty.
- 1:46:37Speaker 3: Five he's a thinner, guy and he.
- 1:46:39Speaker 1: Definitely put on masks to get up to two, fifty
- 1:46:42Speaker 1: but that's not necessarily where he was, naturally Whereas Cyrial
- 1:46:46Speaker 1: goun has a natural frame to be at two forty
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: eight and he's more.
- 1:46:49Speaker 3: Stationary the stationary guys never do so well against the
- 1:46:53Speaker 3: guys who can move very. Well it's just hard for
- 1:46:56Speaker 3: you to chase him, down track him down to learn
- 1:46:58Speaker 3: the perfect.
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: Punch had a hard.
- 1:46:59Speaker 3: Time i'm landing his calf, cakes which slows fights down
- 1:47:03Speaker 3: for him and allows him to land that big chama left.
- 1:47:05Speaker 3: HOOK i don't know even if they were to have a,
- 1:47:08Speaker 3: REMATCH i don't know what he would have to work
- 1:47:12Speaker 3: on to make that. Adjustment that's just a hard fight for.
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: Him it's always going to be a hard fight for
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: him Because cyril gone so, Agile he's so hard to. Hit,
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: yeah he's never in front of you unless he caught,
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: him like maybe through those high kicks right in the.
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: Beginning he could have caught him with something like that
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: and rocked, him and that would have been a different.
- 1:47:27Speaker 1: Story but he, didn't you. Know And cyril's like he's
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: great at blocking shit, too even if you get to.
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: Him his reflexes are. Excellent, Yeah and it's just that
- 1:47:37Speaker 1: movement and speed is. Extraordinary it would have been very
- 1:47:40Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens if The aspinall fight didn't
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: end the way it. Ended that was a. Heartbreaker it
- 1:47:45Speaker 1: was a.
- 1:47:45Speaker 3: HEARTBREAKER i got a lot of flat for that because
- 1:47:46Speaker 3: people were SAYING i should have taken his side BECAUSE
- 1:47:50Speaker 3: i got a foul, too And i'm, Like i'm not
- 1:47:52Speaker 3: not taking his. Side What i'm saying is the only
- 1:47:54Speaker 3: person that knows how bad he, truly, like was, hurt.
- 1:47:58Speaker 1: Is going to Be.
- 1:47:59Speaker 3: Aspinal, yes you, know so if he's saying, IT i
- 1:48:01Speaker 3: take it at face.
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: Value it is what it.
- 1:48:03Speaker 3: IS i can't go and Say i'm in your. Eyeballs
- 1:48:05Speaker 3: i've seen guys get poked all the, time and they, Continue,
- 1:48:07Speaker 3: yeah we've seen it all the, time but not.
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: All eye pokes are created.
- 1:48:11Speaker 3: Equal, no and he got all them three stooge his
- 1:48:15Speaker 3: fingers up in, there and yeah it was, bad. TERRIBLE
- 1:48:19Speaker 3: i can only take away he's saying it was like
- 1:48:20Speaker 3: but again it's really up to.
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: Him can he have said if he was winning the,
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: fight my pushback was devil's.
- 1:48:28Speaker 3: Advocate if he was winning the fight and having his,
- 1:48:30Speaker 3: way would he has, said you know, What i'm gonna
- 1:48:32Speaker 3: suck it up and try to fight through this even
- 1:48:35Speaker 3: THOUGH i still can't.
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: See you never know if he, was if he was
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: HAVING i don't think he, Should and especially for a,
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: FOUL i think it was he. Was he made one
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: hundred percent the right call because, look he didn't lose that.
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: Fight it was a. Foul although, controversial he doesn't get knocked,
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: out he doesn't get head, kicked he doesn't get flying
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: head in the. Face if you can't see out of
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: one of your, eyes hard there's all sorts of ship
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: that's coming from this direction that you not gonna see,
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: Coming and in wild exchanges where your peripheral would catch
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: it and you would duck, under you're not going to
- 1:49:06Speaker 1: be able to see. It, yeah and you're gonna get.
- 1:49:08Speaker 1: Rocked and it's also you're, thinking, now oh my, GOD
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: i can't see out of one of my. Eyes fuck. That,
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: yeah he did the right, Thing he did the right,
- 1:49:15Speaker 1: thing AND i, think you, know he should have got more.
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: Support he should have got more support from everybody for,
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: that from. Everybody, YEAH i MEAN i try to give
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: him as much support AS i. COULD i think he
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: got fouled and they did the right. Thing AND i
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: think you got to take one point away every fucking
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: time someone touches an, eye one point every, time and
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: they won't do it.
- 1:49:35Speaker 3: Anymore it looks like he's doing better now Where i'm
- 1:49:38Speaker 3: hoping he gets to compete again this.
- 1:49:39Speaker 1: Year two fucking eye, surgeries, Man so that remember when
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: you got knocked out ball and my? Eyes how in
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: the back of your head you're, like oh, SHIT i
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: can't get. Hit how about? Him two eyeball? Surgeries and
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: now every time a finger comes towards his, eye he's
- 1:49:54Speaker 1: thinking about his, eyes losing his. Eye look At michael.
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: Bispaink he doesn't have an. Eye he has one eye that's, missing,
- 1:49:59Speaker 1: Right so you got to think, that AM i gonna
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: not Be i'm going to look at my kids through
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: one blurry eye for the rest of my.
- 1:50:06Speaker 3: Life it's.
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: Fucked that's, fucked you. Know it's so for the. Being
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: the position that he's in right now is kind of.
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: TERRIBLE i want to.
- 1:50:16Speaker 3: Talk about The islam fights for this weekend for three.
- 1:50:20Speaker 3: Thirty can we take a piss?
- 1:50:23Speaker 1: Break, yeah take a pis. Break we'll be right back
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: and we're, Back. Jamie pull up that, card the one this,
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: weekend so you take a look at. It, yeah what
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: do you think about The Ian Gary islam? Fight if
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: you had to, predict IF i had to, predict you're
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: like on THE ufc desk and they put you on the. Spot.
- 1:50:43Speaker 3: Okay Islamaka cheff did a really good job neutralizing h jdm's.
- 1:50:49Speaker 3: Boxing didn't really give him an opportunity to do. Anything
- 1:50:53Speaker 3: he chopped his legs away with the calf cakes control
- 1:50:57Speaker 3: them in the. Clinch the takedowns were relatively. Easy he
- 1:50:59Speaker 3: didn't really have to set it up with like. Hands
- 1:51:01Speaker 3: he kind of just shot and just took him. Down
- 1:51:02Speaker 3: and Will Ian, gary, now on the other, hand he's
- 1:51:06Speaker 3: done a good job of showing takedown. Resilience we saw
- 1:51:10Speaker 3: that With Bla mohammed Is Blah mohammed markat. Chef, No,
- 1:51:14Speaker 3: no he's, Not, no but it definitely showed. Something he
- 1:51:18Speaker 3: did good job With shafcott as, well who was a bigger,
- 1:51:20Speaker 3: guy was able to defend a bunch of.
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: TIMES i forgot if it.
- 1:51:24Speaker 3: Was shafkat who had his, back but he was able to.
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: Defend shopcut is the guy who beat. Him So shafcott
- 1:51:28Speaker 1: is the one loss that he. Has and it was
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: the grappling That shapcott got him. With but he also
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: blew Out shopcott's. Knee, yeah like that's Why shapcott has
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: had all these. Surgeries that a blaque. Kick M that
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: kick is so. Nasty that's the one thing THAT i,
- 1:51:42Speaker 1: wonder like should we not have?
- 1:51:43Speaker 3: That you don't, Like, JENNY i, remember you don't really
- 1:51:45Speaker 3: like that.
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: One it's you CAN'T i, mean you can defend it
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: by not getting hit by, it but the problem is
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: if you get hit by it Like Khalil rowntree And
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: modesta's pcaccas when he went turned his knee, sideways he
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: stomped that. Thing stop It and that's that's a career,
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: changer like it could be a career Ender pucrascas came.
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: Back but this is two years, now right for shot
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: guy that he's been. Out, yep he's had multiple. Surgeries
- 1:52:12Speaker 1: he had it done and then it blew out again
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: and had to get it done. Again, YEAH i just
- 1:52:16Speaker 1: don't know the, range the reach.
- 1:52:19Speaker 3: ADVANTAGE i Think ian does a great job of using
- 1:52:22Speaker 3: his ladder with. Footwork is not the fastest, guy, no
- 1:52:26Speaker 3: but what he is he's. Imposing he knows how to
- 1:52:29Speaker 3: cut you. Off That South paul STANCE i think causes
- 1:52:33Speaker 3: some problems for a lot of. People he's only lost
- 1:52:35Speaker 3: on one time to the to The Adriano martins with
- 1:52:39Speaker 3: the head qick knockout a?
- 1:52:40Speaker 1: Punch was it a? Punch?
- 1:52:41Speaker 3: YEAH i got, Punched but either, WAY i Think ian's
- 1:52:45Speaker 3: gonna have to look to something like, that see if
- 1:52:47Speaker 3: there's maybe some of those Old tennessees that that punch
- 1:52:50Speaker 3: was able to. Land that was also such a younger
- 1:52:52Speaker 3: version Of. ISLAM i just don't see him making those mistakes. Again,
- 1:52:55Speaker 3: yeah that was a long time. Ago how Does ian.
- 1:52:57Speaker 3: Win he's gonna have to point fight and sit on
- 1:52:59Speaker 3: the outside and hope not to get tired going backwards
- 1:53:01Speaker 3: the whole, time and he got tired of doing that
- 1:53:03Speaker 3: Against carlo's. Protest so this is a tough one For.
- 1:53:07Speaker 3: Gary can he get the upset of courses. Fighting we
- 1:53:10Speaker 3: just saw this With geige And tuporia THAT i would
- 1:53:14Speaker 3: Say islam has the one sure cut way to. Win
- 1:53:18Speaker 3: push him against the, cage take him, down and even
- 1:53:21Speaker 3: if he pusses him against the, Cage i'm curious to
- 1:53:23Speaker 3: know if curious to see If gary can do damage
- 1:53:26Speaker 3: in the. Clinch Whenever i'm in the clinch with, SOMEBODY
- 1:53:28Speaker 3: i always tell the, guys look for your knuckles and
- 1:53:31Speaker 3: hit the, eyeball hit the, nose hit the soft.
- 1:53:34Speaker 1: Spots that's going to make this guy.
- 1:53:35Speaker 3: Uncomfortable in the, clinch not looking for his foot sweeps
- 1:53:38Speaker 3: where he's, comfortable just resting on, you looking to set
- 1:53:41Speaker 3: up his, takedown his next. Transition AND i learned this
- 1:53:44Speaker 3: From Brian caroway my first pro loss in THE.
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: Ufc after being five and, zero we.
- 1:53:49Speaker 3: CLINCH i take him, down but in the, clinch While
- 1:53:51Speaker 3: i'm going for the single, LEG i have his leg
- 1:53:53Speaker 3: up in the. Air he's leaning over my back and
- 1:53:55Speaker 3: he's taking his knuckles and he's just hitting me in the.
- 1:53:58Speaker 3: Eye swallowed my whole. EYE i was, like what the
- 1:54:00Speaker 3: fuck is he hitting me? With AND i go back
- 1:54:02Speaker 3: AND i watch the tape AND i get to see
- 1:54:03Speaker 3: AND i learned. That SO i always like, show like
- 1:54:06Speaker 3: share these little tricks and stuff with guys When i'm teaching.
- 1:54:08Speaker 3: Them so If gary could land some good damage in those,
- 1:54:11Speaker 3: positions kind of Deter islam a little bit or make
- 1:54:13Speaker 3: him a little bit more sloppy on his, finishes it
- 1:54:16Speaker 3: could call some chaotic scrambles where he could potentially get
- 1:54:19Speaker 3: to a good position and maybe we See islam on
- 1:54:22Speaker 3: his back, again kind of like what happened With. Vogue
- 1:54:24Speaker 3: and when he was there With, vogue it did not look, good,
- 1:54:27Speaker 3: Right and of course it's round, five.
- 1:54:28Speaker 1: So it got to. Be there was also a fight
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: where the time was all fucked up and he didn't
- 1:54:32Speaker 1: have as much time to.
- 1:54:33Speaker 3: Rehydrate oh, yeah they they did say something like.
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: That it was not. Didn't he was compromised in that
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: fight because of, that because he didn't have as much
- 1:54:41Speaker 1: time to rehydrate because they're fighting In australia and they
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: were trying to fight on us.
- 1:54:45Speaker 3: Time this one was the one That i'm really excited about,
- 1:54:51Speaker 3: too Because jillian is so fucking good on the ground top,
- 1:54:56Speaker 3: position even off of her. Back mackenzie durn is great
- 1:54:59Speaker 3: off her back the top position. Too she's more decorated
- 1:55:05Speaker 3: in terms of like the jiu jitsu. Space on the,
- 1:55:10Speaker 3: feat she's more, reckless like she's throwing caution to the
- 1:55:12Speaker 3: wind because she doesn't. Care she's not afraid to get
- 1:55:14Speaker 3: her pretty face messed. Up she's gonna go in there
- 1:55:16Speaker 3: and go after.
- 1:55:16Speaker 1: You she's just. Attacking.
- 1:55:18Speaker 3: Yeah jillian on the other, hand not as physical on the,
- 1:55:21Speaker 3: feet not a big, puncher not a big. Kicker she
- 1:55:24Speaker 3: sets everything up looking for the takedown or the clans
- 1:55:27Speaker 3: to take you, down get to the. Back but when
- 1:55:29Speaker 3: she gets there and she gets you, down she her
- 1:55:31Speaker 3: ground and.
- 1:55:31Speaker 1: Pound it's. Nasty the question is is she gonna be
- 1:55:35Speaker 1: able to do it to a world champion Like Mackenzie, durham.
- 1:55:37Speaker 3: To a good position like some of those other. Girls
- 1:55:40Speaker 3: she gets the back mount or full mount and she's
- 1:55:42Speaker 3: able to land these solid elbows beat them up in that.
- 1:55:45Speaker 1: Position McKenzie's a jiu jitsu world chap. Exactly it's a,
- 1:55:48Speaker 1: different different. World that's. Interesting it's gonna be. Interesting i'm
- 1:55:52Speaker 1: go to the other rest of the card go back
- 1:55:54Speaker 1: to it Because i'm interested to see How I'bdua malik
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: recovers from his last fight Against. Bulgary bulgary is a, monster.
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: Dude there's that's a guy in the one hundred and
- 1:56:08Speaker 1: eighty five pound division that's a real fucking. Problem, yeah
- 1:56:11Speaker 1: he's a world class. Striker he has a victory Over
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: perreira in. Glory yeah that is that's The, yeah that's the. Guy,
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: yeah one victory and then he got starched in the.
- 1:56:21Speaker 3: Rematch but the thing with With maleik is he was
- 1:56:24Speaker 3: trying to go for the, takedowns but the setups were
- 1:56:26Speaker 3: like in my opinion from a rest, Standpoint SO i
- 1:56:29Speaker 3: may be a little bit unfair with this, criticism BUT
- 1:56:32Speaker 3: i just didn't think they were that.
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: Good and he was also dealing with striking that was
- 1:56:37Speaker 1: like way above and beyond. Him, Yeah and that was
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: part of the, problem is that in the, transitions like
- 1:56:42Speaker 1: trying to get close to, him you're dealing with the
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: guy was. Gigantic he's one of the tallest guys in the.
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: Division he's so fucking big for one eighty, five so
- 1:56:49Speaker 1: long and salt, tall and on top of, it world
- 1:56:52Speaker 1: class striker and he's coming into his own as AN mma.
- 1:56:56Speaker 1: Guy and part of the reason is because he's down
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: there In connecticut with With glover and With alex and
- 1:57:02Speaker 1: he's doing camps with those. Guys so like his grapplings
- 1:57:05Speaker 1: now on, point much more confident on the, feet much more.
- 1:57:08Speaker 1: Stable but before THAT i Thought manzer was a real
- 1:57:13Speaker 1: potential world. Champion, yes but it's just so.
- 1:57:16Speaker 3: Crazy you can see somebody in one fight AND i
- 1:57:18Speaker 3: see him in the next. One you're just, like all,
- 1:57:19Speaker 3: right it was a bad loss To it.
- 1:57:21Speaker 1: Was a Bad it wasn't. Good it was a lot
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: of like see if you can find that, fight leg, caicks,
- 1:57:27Speaker 1: Jabs he got beat, up so it Was the thing
- 1:57:30Speaker 1: was the amount of damage that he, took because he's so,
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: tough the amount of damage he took before they stopped
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: the fight was pretty. Extraordinary there was a lot of.
- 1:57:37Speaker 3: DAMAGE i was hoping he could get the fight down
- 1:57:39Speaker 3: at least, once, right but, yeah he. Couldn't it Was,
- 1:57:42Speaker 3: uh it was a Tough.
- 1:57:46Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys at one eighty five that
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: are a fucking, problem, MAN a lot of guys at
- 1:57:51Speaker 1: eighty five that are a real.
- 1:57:52Speaker 3: Problem but we need that and those divisions because those
- 1:57:55Speaker 3: divisions have been so thin for so. Long like there's
- 1:57:57Speaker 3: a couple of, guys, right but now you're starting to
- 1:57:59Speaker 3: see more like even like the lower way. Classes a
- 1:58:01Speaker 3: guy who's unranked Like Ethan ewan right, right and you're,
- 1:58:04Speaker 3: Like i'm excited about this division BECAUSE i want to
- 1:58:06Speaker 3: see how far he could. Go you got a guy
- 1:58:08Speaker 3: like Man sore AND i can't say the other guy's,
- 1:58:10Speaker 3: Name Abdul, No, Gary.
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: Gary you got these two. Guys how about that? Motherfucker,
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: yeah he puts guys in the. Orbit he put our,
- 1:58:21Speaker 1: Guy Asi diez the last. One, yeah tough. One there's
- 1:58:24Speaker 1: a tough. One, yeah this is the. FIGHT i, Mean
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: menser is so tough that he was able to keep
- 1:58:32Speaker 1: this fight going where a lot of guys would have
- 1:58:34Speaker 1: got taken out. Early but, he's, yeah the elbows in the, clinch,
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: everything he's just getting.
- 1:58:38Speaker 3: Destroyed you see how he's even trapping the wrists and
- 1:58:41Speaker 3: then stepping in with the punches or stepping in with.
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: The, elbows clean right hand. Elbow it's Just menser is
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: so tough, Man he's so. Tough he's just absorbing so
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: much punishment and finally they stop. It but before he
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: waited for.
- 1:58:55Speaker 3: Him get out of here before the.
- 1:58:58Speaker 1: STOPPAGE i think that was an end of AN i
- 1:59:00Speaker 1: don't even know if that was the end of the.
- 1:59:01Speaker 1: Round that wasn't the actual. Stoppage so if you keep
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: going in the, fight it gets even. WORSE i, mean
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: the thing about stand up is when you're dealing with
- 1:59:12Speaker 1: a guy who's a world championship kickboxer and you can't
- 1:59:16Speaker 1: take him down and he's got really good takedown defense
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: and he's got a reach, advantage it's like everything possible
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: that's terrible about what could happen is going? On oh that.
- 1:59:27Speaker 3: Split right, Hand oh my, Goodness oh my, God i'm.
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: Surprising his flace plane after. That, well he's so tough,
- 1:59:35Speaker 1: Man but the the durability and but the toughness is
- 1:59:40Speaker 1: the problem is you get so many holes punched in
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: your card in one. Fight in one, fight whereas if
- 1:59:46Speaker 1: you got hit with one, shot one big shot is.
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: Bad he get taken, out but is not as bad
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: as a prolonged beating over three. ROUNDS i always SAY
- 1:59:55Speaker 1: i called him.
- 1:59:56Speaker 3: Dings there's only so many dings you can have your.
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: Career because this is this is the. Final his body
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: just couldn't as tough as he, is and he's so.
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: Tough but the problem is that's the kind of fight
- 2:00:10Speaker 1: where in boxing you wouldn't have if you were a
- 2:00:14Speaker 1: manager and he was your, guy you would not have
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: had him fight him at this stage of his, career
- 2:00:19Speaker 1: not at. All this is not a fight for you right.
- 2:00:21Speaker 1: Now we've got to really get our striking. Better we've
- 2:00:24Speaker 1: got To there's there's growth to be had before you
- 2:00:27Speaker 1: fight that. Guy but you got to know.
- 2:00:29Speaker 3: That AND i think sometimes, fighters we could be so
- 2:00:34Speaker 3: egotistical right that. WAY i could beat, Anybody but sometimes
- 2:00:39Speaker 3: it's nice to be, like you know, WHAT i could beat,
- 2:00:42Speaker 3: him but just not right. Now let me beat somebody.
- 2:00:45Speaker 3: Else we'll get there when we get. There but it
- 2:00:48Speaker 3: takes THE ufc does not give you that. Opportunity THE
- 2:00:51Speaker 3: ufc is like here's the.
- 2:00:52Speaker 1: Wolves you can say, no though you, can but you
- 2:00:56Speaker 1: might get shelved for a long fucking time if you say.
- 2:00:59Speaker 1: No and a lot of guys know, that and they
- 2:01:00Speaker 1: also know some guys have taken advantage of those. Opportunities
- 2:01:03Speaker 1: those short Notice John, Jones John jones GOT i, mean
- 2:01:08Speaker 1: what was the fight With? Showgun it was very short.
- 2:01:10Speaker 1: Notice after he just be. In, oh, man who did he?
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: Beat he beat, everybody but who did he?
- 2:01:17Speaker 3: Beat Rashaan evans had just gotten hurt and then he
- 2:01:19Speaker 3: stepped in and taken and took that one.
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: Right for the title. Exactly and that's when him And
- 2:01:23Speaker 1: rashad were training. Partners and that shows the wildness Of.
- 2:01:28Speaker 1: John he's fighting, showgun who's a, legend who's the light heavyweight?
- 2:01:31Speaker 1: Champion opens with a flying, knee yeah at twenty two
- 2:01:38Speaker 1: and beats him, down beats him down and wins the.
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: Title he has to be, studied, listen, man he should
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: be coaching for, sure definitely should. BE i mean he
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: is now With, Gable, Yeah gable steveson Is he's a
- 2:01:53Speaker 1: real fucking. Problem but the other thing is.
- 2:01:55Speaker 3: This you could show all the technique in the, world
- 2:01:58Speaker 3: AND I i always say it comes back down to
- 2:02:01Speaker 3: what do you do when you're in there under those bright?
- 2:02:03Speaker 3: Lights and that's the most important. Thing and if you
- 2:02:05Speaker 3: can't dial it, in it's a scary place to be BECAUSE.
- 2:02:10Speaker 1: I can't make you.
- 2:02:11Speaker 3: Confident you could be as confident as you want when
- 2:02:13Speaker 3: you're talking to, me but only you truly.
- 2:02:15Speaker 1: Know it's, like what's really going.
- 2:02:16Speaker 3: On between those, ears you. Know so that's where it
- 2:02:19Speaker 3: gets like, tricky it.
- 2:02:21Speaker 1: Does it gets very. Tricky it gets very, tricky and it's.
- 2:02:24Speaker 1: Complicated AND i, mean there's only so much a mental
- 2:02:28Speaker 1: coach can teach you on how to handle those. Situations
- 2:02:31Speaker 1: they can give you some, tools but EITHER i, MEAN
- 2:02:34Speaker 1: i think it's something that's born out of your. Life excuse,
- 2:02:38Speaker 1: me you like mental. COACHES i think there's nothing wrong
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: with tightening up every single aspect of your. Game, HOWEVER
- 2:02:49Speaker 1: i don't think they could fix a leaky. Boat, yeah
- 2:02:53Speaker 1: what do you? THINK i think that you don't like metal.
- 2:02:56Speaker 3: COACHES i think it's a chicken. ARMOR i think it's
- 2:03:00Speaker 3: a chicken. Omer IF i know you have a mental,
- 2:03:02Speaker 3: coach you come for that.
- 2:03:03Speaker 1: Ass, okay but what if you found out That Aleschandre
- 2:03:09Speaker 1: pantosia had a mental coach as savage as that dude
- 2:03:12Speaker 1: is good for?
- 2:03:13Speaker 3: HIM i might be, Like.
- 2:03:14Speaker 1: Okay he's not fighting, me, Right but you know What i'm.
- 2:03:16Speaker 3: Saying that's What i'm.
- 2:03:18Speaker 1: Saying but you know What i'm, Saying, like imagine if
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: you found out Pure To yawn had a mental. Coach that's,
- 2:03:23Speaker 1: cool but you know What i'm, saying like if a
- 2:03:26Speaker 1: guy is elite already and already a dog and you
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: give him just some different things to concentrate. ON i
- 2:03:33Speaker 1: don't think there's anything wrong with. It WHAT i think,
- 2:03:36Speaker 1: is if you need, it it shows me that there's an,
- 2:03:39Speaker 1: issue and sometimes that issue can never be. Fixed there's
- 2:03:43Speaker 1: some guys that when the going gets, tough they find
- 2:03:46Speaker 1: a way.
- 2:03:46Speaker 3: Out that's that's Where i'm getting. AT i agree with,
- 2:03:49Speaker 3: you if you need, it there's nothing wrong with. It
- 2:03:52Speaker 3: BUT i also know that there's a place in there
- 2:03:55Speaker 3: that IF i could get the right key to unlock that,
- 2:03:57Speaker 3: door be. Bad.
- 2:04:01Speaker 1: Yeah, YEAH i think you're. RIGHT i think you're, Right
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: AND i don't. KNOW i, Mean Sean brady had a mental,
- 2:04:11Speaker 1: coach and, uh you, know there's moments Where Sean brady
- 2:04:15Speaker 1: is a motherfucker, right like The Woking buckley, fight like holy, shit,
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: dude oh my, god. Extraordinary but Then. Morales but the
- 2:04:25Speaker 1: problem Is morales is a fucking light. Heavyweight he's, huge.

- 2:04:33Speaker 1: is like the poster boy for cutting, weight It's. Morales
- 2:04:36Speaker 1: he's so big for one seventy it's it doesn't even make. Sense,
- 2:04:41Speaker 1: yeah you see him in the, Octagon you're, like that's
- 2:04:43Speaker 1: a light heavyweight or at the very least a very
- 2:04:45Speaker 1: big middle. Weight, yeah for, sure he's a big, dude
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: and he's walter. Weight and seeing him And brady in,

- 2:04:57Speaker 1: What brady did to a former world Champion On, edwards
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: who's a good. GRAPPLER i, Mean leon took down Kamarro.
- 2:05:04Speaker 1: Usman leon can. Grapple he's a good, grappler but there's
- 2:05:07Speaker 1: levels And Sean brady's on another level when it comes to,
- 2:05:10Speaker 1: That and what he did To buckley was just. Bananas
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: it looked like he was in a training, room you,
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: know right when he was on top of, him it

- 2:13:11Speaker 3: Game that's WHY i really really enjoyed.
- 2:13:12Speaker 1: It WHEN i was playing pool In New, york there
- 2:13:14Speaker 1: was this kid who was a young player who was
- 2:13:17Speaker 1: like when he was really. Young he was playing tournaments
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: all over the. Place he was like really. Good and
- 2:13:22Speaker 1: there was a dude who got out of prison and
- 2:13:24Speaker 1: learned how to play in his head in prison because
- 2:13:26Speaker 1: they didn't have a. Board and so this kid and
- 2:13:29Speaker 1: this old dude were sitting there playing chess in their
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: head and they would call out the moves and they
- 2:13:34Speaker 1: had the whole board. MAPPED i was. FASCINATED i was,
- 2:13:37Speaker 1: like this is that's.
- 2:13:38Speaker 3: Crazy that's really hard to.
- 2:13:40Speaker 1: Do, yeah and you also have to agree where the pieces,
- 2:13:43Speaker 1: are you know WHAT i. Mean i'm not that. Good
- 2:13:46Speaker 1: you got to rely on and you, know this one
- 2:13:49Speaker 1: guy had played so many times in prison in his
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: head that he could keep track of the entire.
- 2:13:54Speaker 3: Board and this kid was a wizard at.
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: It and watch these two guys call out moves and
- 2:13:59Speaker 1: just sitting there stack at each. Other they try to
- 2:14:01Speaker 1: figure out who's. Winning i'm, like you guys just playing
- 2:14:03Speaker 1: an invisible. Board this is. Crazy, yeah that's that's next.
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: Level that was my first introduction to. CHESS i was,
- 2:14:08Speaker 1: like this.
- 2:14:09Speaker 3: Is, nuts.
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: Man you want to try the Silver, Sure i'll try.
- 2:14:13Speaker 3: IT i still have some of this left.
- 2:14:15Speaker 1: Though it's water, now, YEAH i know it. Is i'll.
- 2:14:19Speaker 1: Go it's still chilled, Too SO i like this one.
- 2:14:27Speaker 1: Chilled you do have to do like a green tea.
- 2:14:30Speaker 3: Shot what's a green tea? Shot it's like with bourbon with.
- 2:14:33Speaker 3: Whiskey it's like a little some. Tea, yeah they call
- 2:14:36Speaker 3: it green. Tea you see a lot of the girls
- 2:14:38Speaker 3: they drinking at the bars and. Stuff so we did
- 2:14:40Speaker 3: this with like a we call it silver.
- 2:14:41Speaker 1: Tea it's a silver.
- 2:14:43Speaker 3: Room what is rum made with? Sugarcane sugarcane or? MOLASSES
- 2:14:50Speaker 3: i think the other one's.
- 2:14:51Speaker 1: Agricole but no matter where people are in the, world
- 2:14:56Speaker 1: they find a way to get fucked.
- 2:14:57Speaker 3: Up, yeah from the pirates of The. Caribbeans is that? What?
- 2:15:01Speaker 1: No, no but that's what the pirates are. Drink why did
- 2:15:05Speaker 1: why are? Pirates why were they so into?
- 2:15:07Speaker 3: RUM i, SAID i couldn't tell.
- 2:15:09Speaker 1: You you know WHAT i.
- 2:15:12Speaker 3: Don't.
- 2:15:13Speaker 1: Know that's like rum is like. Associated they probably learned
- 2:15:17Speaker 1: from The, caribbean, right that's where it, originated, Right.
- 2:15:20Speaker 3: Yeah you get it from sugarcane plants and the whole distillation.
- 2:15:25Speaker 3: Process this is like poste and. Column still for both
- 2:15:28Speaker 3: of these is just A jamaican, blend like some of them.
- 2:15:31Speaker 1: Are mostly pirates did drink, rum but the stereotype is,
- 2:15:34Speaker 1: exaggerated so it's. Perplexing during much of the sixteen, Hundreds
- 2:15:39Speaker 1: caribbean pirates often drank wine and. Brandy more, Commonly rum
- 2:15:43Speaker 1: became far more available and popular in the early seventeen
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: hundreds As caribbean sugar production. Expanded how that makes, Sense
- 2:15:52Speaker 1: yoho ho and a bottle of. Rum you know WHAT i.
- 2:15:55Speaker 3: Never understand is like we know the big players in
- 2:15:58Speaker 3: the rum, market Like, Bacardi Captain morgan Is. Malibu but
- 2:16:02Speaker 3: when we go on, vacation we go to The, caribbeans
- 2:16:04Speaker 3: we drink all the different RUMs from the, islands AND
- 2:16:07Speaker 3: i always tell people like you have such a great
- 2:16:08Speaker 3: time drinking, Rum like why don't we bring that, here
- 2:16:12Speaker 3: that to our culture and make it more of a
- 2:16:17Speaker 3: inclusive thing versus just only WHEN i go on, vacation
- 2:16:20Speaker 3: that's the only time it's really associated AND i, GO
- 2:16:23Speaker 3: i want to change that that narrative and let people
- 2:16:25Speaker 3: rum is for year. Round you could have sipping. Rum
- 2:16:28Speaker 3: you can have it For vegas pool, parties you can
- 2:16:31Speaker 3: have it with a. Cigar like there's so many different
- 2:16:33Speaker 3: ways you can enjoy. It it's not just for vacation.
- 2:16:36Speaker 1: Time it's for.
- 2:16:38Speaker 3: ME i want this to be something that makes you
- 2:16:39Speaker 3: feel like you're back on the. Island and we want
- 2:16:42Speaker 3: to make sure this was one hundred Percent Jamaican. Rum
- 2:16:44Speaker 3: didn't want to piss off my people In jamaica because
- 2:16:47Speaker 3: that's the one thing when we were doing, This SO
- 2:16:50Speaker 3: i went through the whole, process like the, branding the.
- 2:16:52Speaker 3: Labeling my money invested in, it so it's like actually my.
- 2:16:55Speaker 3: Company but with that, said one of the THINGS i
- 2:16:58Speaker 3: spoke to some of the guys at the at the,
- 2:17:02Speaker 3: distilleries the one we went to mainly Was Worthy, park
- 2:17:06Speaker 3: and they were, saying the main thing you don't want
- 2:17:07Speaker 3: to do is call Something Jamaica. Room if it's not
- 2:17:10Speaker 3: one hundred, percent you make. It AND i was, LIKE
- 2:17:13Speaker 3: i had a, feeling BUT i want to make, sure
- 2:17:14Speaker 3: so we didn't tow that line and piss anybody. Off
- 2:17:17Speaker 3: so it's been a fun project and we've been having
- 2:17:20Speaker 3: a good time just getting some bigger distributed distributors and.

- 2:20:52Speaker 1: teach you technically how to.
- 2:20:53Speaker 3: KICK i forget the guy's, name but WHEN i was
- 2:20:57Speaker 3: At Team bomb squad In New, york WHEN i was
- 2:20:59Speaker 3: in college AND i was just starting off as an
- 2:21:02Speaker 3: amateur in early, pro we had this Muy thai guy
- 2:21:05Speaker 3: come up stone SOMETHING i want to, say but, uh
- 2:21:09Speaker 3: that's a.
- 2:21:09Speaker 1: First he was working With John.
- 2:21:10Speaker 3: Jones he was the first guy like Showing john the,
- 2:21:12Speaker 3: elbows the knees and. Stuff and that's WHERE i first
- 2:21:16Speaker 3: first started learning how to do like Traditional Muay thai.
- 2:21:19Speaker 3: Kicks THEN i worked with this other guy Named Primo Bella.
- 2:21:22Speaker 3: Rose he was really good for me to work With
- 2:21:25Speaker 3: irish guy had a ton Of muytai, fights and then
- 2:21:29Speaker 3: WHEN i came To Long, ISLAND i didn't really have
- 2:21:31Speaker 3: like A i still don't even have like a set
- 2:21:33Speaker 3: Mouy thai instructor or anything like. THAT i just kind
- 2:21:35Speaker 3: of know WHAT i know from back, then AND i
- 2:21:37Speaker 3: kind of just blended in where it makes.
- 2:21:39Speaker 1: SENSE i know you train In vegas sometimes. Too i've
- 2:21:41Speaker 1: seen you at you live. There, wow what made you
- 2:21:45Speaker 1: decide to do?
- 2:21:46Speaker 3: That and my home is always going to be In New,
- 2:21:48Speaker 3: york BUT i live In vegas. Now it's the fight
- 2:21:50Speaker 3: capital of the. World business for me over, there it's
- 2:21:55Speaker 3: doing really really.
- 2:21:55Speaker 1: Well and is it because you get more training, partners more,
- 2:22:00Speaker 1: chargners more coaching and you know we're still a.
- 2:22:02Speaker 3: Syndicate, NO i. Was morale was at, syndicate.
- 2:22:05Speaker 1: RIGHT i would go to, Syndicate that's WHERE i saw you.
- 2:22:07Speaker 3: Training, YEAH i would go.
- 2:22:09Speaker 1: Down there to help him out for his. FIGHTS i
- 2:22:10Speaker 1: started at X.
- 2:22:11Speaker 3: Se that's WHY i trained with first With nick Sic
- 2:22:13Speaker 3: the training times were a little bit odd for. Me
- 2:22:15Speaker 3: it was like three thirty pro classes and stuff like.
- 2:22:17Speaker 3: That BUT i think the sport's still kind of. Backwards
- 2:22:21Speaker 3: people doing all these. CLASSES i think in the beginning is,
- 2:22:26Speaker 3: good BUT i think eventually you have to get to
- 2:22:28Speaker 3: that one on. One Elliott, Toporia, O'Malley henry C udo
- 2:22:33Speaker 3: a mighty.
- 2:22:33Speaker 1: Mouse the way these guys are doing. It Even wailward
- 2:22:36Speaker 1: structured training camps like for you like a boxing, camp,
- 2:22:39Speaker 1: Right and even WHEN i was back home In New,
- 2:22:41Speaker 1: york that's basically how we essentially rent.
- 2:22:43Speaker 3: It you, KNOW i was running all the stuff that
- 2:22:45Speaker 3: we were, doing and you, Know rain those guys would
- 2:22:47Speaker 3: come down and for, sparring AND i go To sarah's FOR,
- 2:22:50Speaker 3: bjj working a lot With Jason Jason rowe who's got
- 2:22:53Speaker 3: his own school now. TOO i don't know if you know,
- 2:22:56Speaker 3: him but he's he's like The boogeyman everyone talks about
- 2:22:59Speaker 3: in the train, room but for some reason in, competition
- 2:23:01Speaker 3: he's just never really showed what he can truly. Do
- 2:23:04Speaker 3: but he's so, talented could walk you through everything and
- 2:23:08Speaker 3: explain everything at a high. Level but, yeah that's that's
- 2:23:12Speaker 3: kind of HOW i ran. Everything but it's, centered, focused
- 2:23:15Speaker 3: AND i felt like that's the best our gym was
- 2:23:17Speaker 3: on a run where everyone was killing the.
- 2:23:20Speaker 1: Game so is it also because My rob's In, vegas
- 2:23:22Speaker 1: that you wanted to go To.
- 2:23:23Speaker 3: VEGAS i. WENT i moved before, him really and then
- 2:23:26Speaker 3: he moved in and he found a house right next to.
- 2:23:29Speaker 3: Me oh, perfect that's, amazing literally like across the street
- 2:23:32Speaker 3: from each.
- 2:23:33Speaker 1: Other oh that's, amazing pretty. Cool that's that's actually. Great
- 2:23:36Speaker 1: and where are you? Training, What, jimmy you trained at
- 2:23:38Speaker 1: there THE Q i don't know that.
- 2:23:41Speaker 3: Place it's a brand new before it was kind of
- 2:23:43Speaker 3: like No Mad's. Land we're training most of the classes
- 2:23:46Speaker 3: at THE. Pi but you can't charge, anybody, right you're
- 2:23:49Speaker 3: using someone else's, facility so you can't be running a
- 2:23:53Speaker 3: class and on top of that charging, people and so

- 2:25:19Speaker 3: Is it's a lot of the drills that we do
- 2:25:21Speaker 3: even in the, classes it's.
- 2:25:22Speaker 1: Practical we're not doing eight ten punch.
- 2:25:25Speaker 3: Combinations we're doing real, life practical, stuff scenarios that happens
- 2:25:29Speaker 3: in the. Fight SO i don't mind doing the classes with,
- 2:25:31Speaker 3: this BUT i also like to do my one on ones,
- 2:25:33Speaker 3: afterwards especially when his fight specific that we need to work,
- 2:25:36Speaker 3: on AND i think they do a good.
- 2:25:37Speaker 1: Job now you were saying you have thoughts on The
- 2:25:39Speaker 1: Steve garcia oh, low best fight? Again another. PAUSE i
- 2:25:48Speaker 1: went up for my. Boys, yeah, Yeah Steve. FORD i
- 2:25:54Speaker 1: always Said steve is the dark horse of the. Division
- 2:25:57Speaker 1: he looks so good in the early.
- 2:25:58Speaker 3: Going, bro if you watch some of his other, fights
- 2:26:02Speaker 3: the one fight the few fights he lost where he
- 2:26:03Speaker 3: was knocked out was him just being more reckless than
- 2:26:07Speaker 3: he probably should have. Been big frame for the way,
- 2:26:09Speaker 3: class his reach is fucking, stupid, crazy, long crazy. Kicks
- 2:26:15Speaker 3: when he gets you on the, ground his ground of
- 2:26:17Speaker 3: pound is, ferocious like almost reckless to a. Point, right
- 2:26:21Speaker 3: and then he's fighting a super smart fight With Diego.
- 2:26:25Speaker 3: Lopez Diego lopez now comes out for round. Two he
- 2:26:29Speaker 3: flips the switch and, says fuck this technical shit and
- 2:26:32Speaker 3: just pulls him into a barn. Fight and, man he
- 2:26:37Speaker 3: clipped him and he's been knocked out, before, Right so
- 2:26:40Speaker 3: if there's any away a guy who has a greenite
- 2:26:42Speaker 3: chin who could rely on it is a.
- 2:26:44Speaker 1: Guy Like Diego.
- 2:26:44Speaker 3: Lopez AND i even SAID i Saw Diego lopez at
- 2:26:47Speaker 3: THE pi AND i told, him was, like congrats on the.
- 2:26:48Speaker 3: Fight so we had a little little, beef but it
- 2:26:51Speaker 3: was it was more so about who should have gotten
- 2:26:53Speaker 3: a title. SHOT i thought he was gifted a title. Shot, okay,
- 2:26:55Speaker 3: cool the second, one you mean the first? ONE i
- 2:26:58Speaker 3: thought it should have been Most the second one was.
- 2:26:59Speaker 3: Real the second one was ridiculous to make any. Sense
- 2:27:02Speaker 3: but congrats to.
- 2:27:03Speaker 1: Him do you think they gave him the second one
- 2:27:04Speaker 1: as a gift because he's he fought short?
- 2:27:07Speaker 3: Notice?
- 2:27:08Speaker 1: Possibly, yeah it kind of seems like. That this one
- 2:27:12Speaker 1: don't like.
- 2:27:12Speaker 3: Me but my whole thing is that's why we kind
- 2:27:15Speaker 3: of bumped. Heads we did train together one. Time we were,
- 2:27:18Speaker 3: friendly cordial and the whole, nine and, uh that kind
- 2:27:21Speaker 3: of set a.
- 2:27:22Speaker 1: Little riff in the relationship a little.
- 2:27:23Speaker 3: Bit we both thought AT uc three, hundred we took
- 2:27:25Speaker 3: a bat a picture in the.
- 2:27:26Speaker 1: Back but that's that's HOW i.
- 2:27:28Speaker 3: Said it's LIKE i always speak my mind and on,
- 2:27:31Speaker 3: things and sometimes it gets me in trouble and turned
- 2:27:33Speaker 3: to a whole thing with his manager and myself And
- 2:27:35Speaker 3: twitter beef and all this whole. Thing AND i thought
- 2:27:39Speaker 3: the fight should have went To mozart just being fair
- 2:27:42Speaker 3: based on merits should have gotten it tied up the
- 2:27:44Speaker 3: division jammed up fights that probably should have been different, directions,
- 2:27:48Speaker 3: Right BUT i, THOUGHT i told, him, congratulations you for
- 2:27:51Speaker 3: a smart. Fight you pulled him into your style of,
- 2:27:53Speaker 3: fight and that's how he got the job. Done if
- 2:27:55Speaker 3: he fought him on a technical standpoint like, THAT i
- 2:27:57Speaker 3: Think diego would have probably ran away with. It not
- 2:27:59Speaker 3: The Go.
- 2:28:00Speaker 1: Garcia, Garcia, well he just unfortunately when when When lopez
- 2:28:07Speaker 1: started chasing after, him he engaged in that kind of yeah,
- 2:28:10Speaker 1: yeah and that's what he.
- 2:28:12Speaker 3: Does i'm, like If i'm Fighting, Diego i'm not doing that. Ship,
- 2:28:15Speaker 3: Yeah i'm SURE i could take a, punch but that
- 2:28:17Speaker 3: guy's got, mits there's one and he knows he could
- 2:28:20Speaker 3: rely on his. Chin and he's probably looking at me,
- 2:28:22Speaker 3: LIKE i don't think this guy can knock me, out
- 2:28:25Speaker 3: So i'm gonna risk.
- 2:28:25Speaker 1: It, Right so square, jaw, dude you have.
- 2:28:28Speaker 3: To understand what you're getting Into and that's WHAT i
- 2:28:30Speaker 3: was saying before about like some of these, guys you
- 2:28:32Speaker 3: have to understand.
- 2:28:33Speaker 1: Thyself when you look At, diego that's. Good diego looks
- 2:28:38Speaker 1: like he's designed to take a. Shot, yeah like one
- 2:28:40Speaker 1: of The Mark hunt type, chins you, know designed to
- 2:28:43Speaker 1: take a.
- 2:28:43Speaker 3: Shot so that's WHY i, go, like IF i were
- 2:28:47Speaker 3: to fight, him, LIKE i know HOW i would approach the. Fight,
- 2:28:50Speaker 3: obviously the path of the least resistance for me is
- 2:28:52Speaker 3: always gonna be the. Ground but he's he's good on the, ground,
- 2:28:55Speaker 3: too very.
- 2:28:55Speaker 1: Good he almost Got. Evilov remember the knee, bar the
- 2:28:57Speaker 1: triangle arm. Bar, yeah you could make a argument that
- 2:29:00Speaker 1: he could have won that fight because he was closer
- 2:29:02Speaker 1: to finishing multiple. Times and those should. Count those submission.
- 2:29:06Speaker 1: Attempts close submission attempts should count in a big. Way
- 2:29:10Speaker 1: and just because the guy got out of it doesn't
- 2:29:12Speaker 1: mean he was almost dead like. That that's that means a.
- 2:29:15Speaker 1: Lot that means just as much as rocking a. Guy
- 2:29:17Speaker 1: it should it, Should but judges or, judges that's a
- 2:29:21Speaker 1: bad aspect of judges because it's very difficult to get
- 2:29:24Speaker 1: to a position like that where you're almost submitting a
- 2:29:26Speaker 1: guy multiple. Times, yeah like those are those were like
- 2:29:29Speaker 1: very close and if you were looking at that in
- 2:29:31Speaker 1: terms of a jiu jitsu, perspective, like, yeah he's got the.
- 2:29:34Speaker 3: Advantage so that's why that would be a tough fight for.
- 2:29:38Speaker 3: Me but it's THE i want to fight the biggest,
- 2:29:41Speaker 3: names and When diego's moved.
- 2:29:43Speaker 1: Up So diego's fifty five, now, yeah from WHAT i,
- 2:29:45Speaker 1: understand which makes sense because he's fucking. Big it was
- 2:29:49Speaker 1: probably a real struggle for that dude to get down
- 2:29:51Speaker 1: to forty. Five, yeah a real. Problem, yeah but fifty
- 2:29:55Speaker 1: five is such a fucking lion's tend. Too what did
- 2:29:58Speaker 1: you think of The Tuporia gaygee. FIGHT i thought it
- 2:30:01Speaker 1: was amazing man like For gechie to come. Out it
- 2:30:03Speaker 1: kind of reminded me of The Tony ferguson. Fight, right
- 2:30:05Speaker 1: The boogeyman did what he needed to, do had a
- 2:30:08Speaker 1: perfect game, plan and What gateschie said was the most
- 2:30:11Speaker 1: spot on. THING i was talking to one of my.
- 2:30:15Speaker 3: Friends they said they Liked gateschi on the, podcast but
- 2:30:18Speaker 3: they were, LIKE i thought he came off a little
- 2:30:20Speaker 3: like a little cocky or.
- 2:30:21Speaker 1: ARROGANT i was, LIKE i was, like as he fucking.
- 2:30:24Speaker 3: Should he's the world was trying to shit on him
- 2:30:27Speaker 3: and gave him no chance to win the. Fight if
- 2:30:29Speaker 3: anyone who relates to that as, ME i understand exactly
- 2:30:32Speaker 3: where he's coming. From fuck let him fucking talk of,
- 2:30:35Speaker 3: shit because if the other guy. Won best believe he
- 2:30:38Speaker 3: would have been his white, rose like he said he
- 2:30:40Speaker 3: was gonna. Do he's had beef with his, dad, like
- 2:30:43Speaker 3: there's a lot of built up, animosity whether it was, fake,
- 2:30:45Speaker 3: whatever it was, There so let him have his time
- 2:30:49Speaker 3: in the.
- 2:30:49Speaker 1: Sun so but with the, FIGHT i thought He the
- 2:30:52Speaker 1: thing he.
- 2:30:52Speaker 3: Said that made the most sense to me that resonated
- 2:30:55Speaker 3: was he changed people's perception of the. Fighter where before
- 2:31:01Speaker 3: people were kind of going in there, hesitant, scared and
- 2:31:04Speaker 3: they kind of knew what they were walking into and
- 2:31:06Speaker 3: it was going to be a bad. Night and going
- 2:31:08Speaker 3: in there doing that To ferguson Change ferguson's.
- 2:31:10Speaker 1: Career going in there doing.
- 2:31:12Speaker 3: This is To. Taporia Can't taporia bounce back and be
- 2:31:15Speaker 3: the same guy and had that same, aura same persona
- 2:31:19Speaker 3: that people are gonna step in the octagon with him
- 2:31:21Speaker 3: and be a little hesitant to want to go in
- 2:31:24Speaker 3: there with him because of what he's done in the,
- 2:31:26Speaker 3: past but then also knowing, that, oh it's just like, us.
- 2:31:29Speaker 3: Man he puts his fucking pants on the same way we,
- 2:31:31Speaker 3: do one leg at a, time unless he could jump
- 2:31:34Speaker 3: and put both on the same.
- 2:31:35Speaker 1: Time BUT i think there's a physics element to it.
- 2:31:38Speaker 1: Too the reality Of gaichie And taporia is That taporia
- 2:31:43Speaker 1: is much. Smaller, yeah he's a much smaller. Person, look
- 2:31:46Speaker 1: he's got death in his. Hands death and a lot
- 2:31:50Speaker 1: of people would have folded in that second. Round But
- 2:31:53Speaker 1: gaichie is so fucking. Durable he's so and you can't
- 2:31:57Speaker 1: make him. Quit it's not he's not going to. Quit
- 2:32:00Speaker 1: you might beat, him he's been beat, before but it's
- 2:32:02Speaker 1: not because he doesn't believe in. Himself and it's not
- 2:32:05Speaker 1: because he can't. Endure it's because he gets. Caught, yeah you,
- 2:32:08Speaker 1: know and you think about the Way ilia put it
- 2:32:11Speaker 1: on him in that second. Round he emptied the gas,
- 2:32:13Speaker 1: tank emptied the gas, tank And geichie was still. There
- 2:32:16Speaker 1: and that's the, problem as you cannot empty the gas
- 2:32:19Speaker 1: tank on that. GUY i think he.
- 2:32:21Speaker 3: Tried he got ahead of himself. TOO i felt like
- 2:32:25Speaker 3: he was trying to put an escamation point bow tie
- 2:32:28Speaker 3: ribbon on the finish where he could have submitted him
- 2:32:32Speaker 3: or maybe just go for THE, tko but instead he
- 2:32:34Speaker 3: went for the kabeb like mounted triangle that he could
- 2:32:38Speaker 3: be hit On geichee and he was in the same,
- 2:32:40Speaker 3: position was going for the same, sequence AND i, go,
- 2:32:43Speaker 3: brother this is either going to be really dope or
- 2:32:45Speaker 3: it's gonna be the reason you. Lose and he lost the.
- 2:32:49Speaker 3: Position gage gets back up and man just everything he
- 2:32:54Speaker 3: did in the. Approach if they had a, rematch maybe
- 2:32:56Speaker 3: the fight goes, different maybe To, taporia if he does
- 2:32:59Speaker 3: he takes him down and does what he's also really
- 2:33:01Speaker 3: good at and summits, him.
- 2:33:03Speaker 1: Or maybe he's more patient with his attack and his
- 2:33:06Speaker 1: head more empty the gas tank in the second round
- 2:33:09Speaker 1: when he hasn't. Hurt it Was justin's attitude is so crazy,
- 2:33:12Speaker 1: Too like when he got back to the, corner he's,
- 2:33:14Speaker 1: like good body. Shot goods like that, helped like congratulating
- 2:33:18Speaker 1: him hitting him with a good liver. Shot, yeah, yeah
- 2:33:21Speaker 1: it's and he. Man he the way he hit.
- 2:33:23Speaker 3: HIM i was like the fact that he didn't just
- 2:33:25Speaker 3: go down and curl up in a ball and just
- 2:33:27Speaker 3: say all, Right i'm just gonna take my paycheck and go.
- 2:33:29Speaker 1: Home.
- 2:33:29Speaker 3: Nope but it.
- 2:33:31Speaker 1: Was his chance at thirty seven to be a world
- 2:33:34Speaker 1: champion and he did, it and he did it in
- 2:33:37Speaker 1: The White, house which is. Crazy so you're saying this,
- 2:33:39Speaker 1: chance saying as a chance thirty seven is a chance
- 2:33:44Speaker 1: you've already pulled it off before you could be a
- 2:33:46Speaker 1: world champion at forty, five you know.
- 2:33:48Speaker 3: It, bro that would be The cinerella ending for my.
- 2:33:52Speaker 1: Career.
- 2:33:52Speaker 3: YEAH i can't even put into words like what that
- 2:33:55Speaker 3: would feel, Like LIKE i get like goosebums even like
- 2:33:59Speaker 3: thinking and talking about because, it's.
- 2:34:01Speaker 1: Well you better and smarter than you've ever been. Before,
- 2:34:04Speaker 1: yeah all your, experience this is allow, fights great example
- 2:34:07Speaker 1: that you're you're at a you, know world championship level
- 2:34:10Speaker 1: at forty five for. Sure, Yeah it's it's a matter
- 2:34:14Speaker 1: of whether or not you get that, shot AND i
- 2:34:17Speaker 1: think they.
- 2:34:18Speaker 3: Should hopefully let's SAY i don't get, booked because there's
- 2:34:22Speaker 3: not a lot of, options but let's say they have their,
- 2:34:25Speaker 3: fight Hopefully Sinabu dhabi sooner rather than.
- 2:34:28Speaker 1: LATER i think that's when it's supposed to, be.
- 2:34:29Speaker 3: Right, yeah that's What i've, Heard and Hopefully i'm the next,
- 2:34:32Speaker 3: guy because then it's okay to, wait that's not, then you,
- 2:34:34Speaker 3: Know i'd rather stay, active stay, busy make, money and
- 2:34:40Speaker 3: the whole, nine because that's that's that's ultimately what it comes.
- 2:34:42Speaker 1: Down too. Long so they haven't talked to you about
- 2:34:44Speaker 1: any potential fights or offered you.
- 2:34:46Speaker 3: Anything they floated. Names pigo's now book was. Allowed oh, yes,
- 2:34:52Speaker 3: interesting this Is valley Host but With valay, hosts that's
- 2:34:56Speaker 3: going so far back again for, me it's, like it's
- 2:34:59Speaker 3: not a fight that makes it ton of.
- 2:35:00Speaker 1: Sense but.
- 2:35:02Speaker 3: Whatever these guys want to. Do But i've never said,
- 2:35:04Speaker 3: no maybe that's a.
- 2:35:05Speaker 1: Problem but ideally you'd like to fight for the.
- 2:35:09Speaker 3: Title IDEALLY i would like to fight for the title.
- 2:35:11Speaker 3: Next AND i.
- 2:35:12Speaker 1: Think that makes, sense especially you as a former world
- 2:35:14Speaker 1: champion In. Phantom, wait it makes sense especially If folk.
- 2:35:17Speaker 1: Wins this is a big. Fight you can make two
- 2:35:20Speaker 1: OG's of their weight.
- 2:35:21Speaker 3: Classes Everything i've done at the bandweight, division set the.
- 2:35:24Speaker 3: Records why not you know so? WELL i mean he
- 2:35:28Speaker 3: After larne knocked Out, pico he was, Saying i'll see you,
- 2:35:32Speaker 3: next and we thought that was going to be the
- 2:35:33Speaker 3: case and it. Changed, yeah so hopefully hopefully.
- 2:35:38Speaker 1: Changes But lorone loses To EVE bluev and you, know
- 2:35:42Speaker 1: and then the whole thing is just upside down now Because,
- 2:35:45Speaker 1: loron after he knocked Out pico looked like the.
- 2:35:47Speaker 3: MAN i, mean it wasn't looking like the man before.
- 2:35:50Speaker 3: That but, Well pico's bad.
- 2:35:53Speaker 1: Motherfucker, yeah he didn't get like no.
- 2:35:55Speaker 3: FUCKS i was, like, dude you gotta slow.

- 2:35:59Speaker 1: Excited but, listen he adjusted in the pit bull. Fight,
- 2:36:03Speaker 1: yeah in perfect. WAY i mean he looked like world
- 2:36:05Speaker 1: class in the in the pitbull. Fight that left, hook

- 2:36:08Speaker 3: This beautiful it's.
- 2:36:09Speaker 1: Nasty oh it's. Beautiful it's. Perfect like they should study.
- 2:36:13Speaker 1: It Should they should teach that left hook The Aaron

- 2:36:19Speaker 1: phenomenal that left hook to the.
- 2:36:21Speaker 3: Body ilia just does such a good job once he
