00:00:17.000After a while, I'm like, what am I doing here with this extra step?
00:00:19.000I gotta open up a book to get to my phone.
00:00:22.000I like it because I forget things a lot so like I don't like having a wallet and a phone when I leave somewhere like especially even a house I leave the house with my phone, but I don't have my cash on my cards So I got a solution for you.
00:00:35.000It's called a motherfucking fanny pack That's right even where it's you're cool, dude You think you're cool enough to rock one of these like are you cool enough to get past the social pariah aspect?
00:00:48.000Of this bag that you wear around your waist.
00:00:50.000I don't have that much shit with me most of the time.
00:04:50.000The past few months have been a little bit hard, but now that things are settling down and I'm settling into this new life, things are good.
00:04:58.000I've been training with Joe a lot, shilling.
00:06:36.000Like, I can see little pictures, images of shit, and then I have a narrative that I play out in my head that I think happened, and so I can repeat it.
00:11:03.000But there's no difference if Jon's hitting you with a downward elbow like he got disqualified for when he fought Matt Hamill, or if he's hitting you with a sideways elbow.
00:13:30.000Guys will lose fights simply because they can't continue going into the second round sometimes.
00:13:35.000Will that be the case or will it change their style?
00:13:38.000It will definitely change the style, but without having the gloves and hand wraps and that stuff there, there is going to be those times when it's just going to bring the number down.
00:15:53.000But if he's right there, if you see where one corner is and then the other corner is, when the fight is not going on, they're over there by the stairs, the judge is right there.
00:16:25.000This fucking situation, there should be way better judges for sure.
00:16:30.000I think guys who are former fighters, guys who are martial arts experts, guys who really care about the sport, you have no shortage of them.
00:16:39.000You can go to any MMA school, any jujitsu school, any kickboxing school.
00:17:13.000I think it would be a good thing also now that like the second generation, I have like in my head I have this three generations of MMA and that's where we are now in the third starting to move into the fourth.
00:17:25.000And I feel like with the first two generations being done pretty much, like there's a lot of guys that are highly qualified to judge.
00:17:41.000If you read MMA articles, they're really good writing in a lot of these mainstream websites.
00:17:47.000It's like a lot of experts out there talking about stuff.
00:17:50.000That's why a fight like Next Weekend is so fascinating.
00:17:54.000Because between Tony and Khabib, nobody knows what the fuck is going to happen.
00:17:59.000It's one of those fights where everybody's like, damn, I don't know.
00:18:02.000And you've got all these people breaking it down on one side, and then you've got people making compelling arguments on the other side, and you're like...
00:18:11.000I've been bouncing back and forth between my pick for that fight, but I guess because I've been bouncing back and forth, this isn't necessarily where I'm going to stay, but I feel like...
00:18:23.000Okay, I don't see how that can change.
00:18:25.000But again, like you said, there are people that are making these arguments.
00:18:28.000And if somebody convinces me of something that kind of defeats this argument, then it's like, man, now you open the door for this again.
00:18:35.000And what I think is like, my first thought was, Khabib is this guy, he takes everybody down, and he controls you and beats you up.
00:19:38.000I knew, compared to the Kevin Lee, the destroyer that you see when he's on point and in shape, I was like, this guy's going to be compromised.
00:19:46.000And he's also a big 155, so it's a hard cut for him.
00:19:50.000Whereas Tony makes it, I mean, Tony can get pretty heavy, but he's super disciplined, he makes it easy.
00:19:55.000Tony's endurance, his endurance is off the charts.
00:22:08.000There's a great New York Times article that was just on.
00:22:13.000Three or four days ago about wrestlers from Dagestan.
00:22:16.000Yeah, and about how wrestling is their way out Because so many of them trying to prove themselves they wind up joining those Islamic terrorist groups and that these coaches try to take these young aggressive kids and Give them something something else and give them another alternative really really well written article interesting stuff about Like,
00:22:40.000how powerful these guys are and how young they get him into it.
00:22:44.000And when you see Khabib, the thing about him is like he's not doing different things than everybody else.
00:31:02.000My idea was to have it like Like a like a old-school bag glove.
00:31:08.000Yeah, yeah, you know like Joe Lewis with those old-school bag gloves It's a very thin glove that would like cover the tips and they used to hit the bag with them back in like the fucking 20s Yeah, it was just like leather.
00:31:19.000Yeah, and then maybe maybe that's what it is like um Keep still the love and just kind of a topping of that type thing with it.
00:31:27.000That makes so much sense Yeah, why would the tips of the fingers like you don't you?
00:31:31.000In grappling, you never use individual fingers.
00:31:42.000yeah because it doesn't even change this grip no it makes it better honestly you have more grip yeah like if it's like uh you know like um a suede type material like something that's a little rough you could actually get good grip yeah that's true it would help grappling because gloves definitely hurt some submissions they get in the way of rear naked chokes it's one of the reasons why george's submission over bisping Was so impressive because he went this way.
00:32:09.000He went deep back of the hand to the back of the neck the real way, which sometimes you don't see because the guy can't get the glove in there.
00:32:16.000Yeah, that's the one that's on the display image of jujitsu chokes.
00:32:22.000Yeah, I mean that one was fucking tight.
00:32:25.000That was crazy to watch George do that.
00:32:28.000But yeah, they've got to figure out something.
00:38:29.000I mean, there's a doctor that just got arrested recently, and there was a whole story about all the different surgeries that he did that he didn't have to do.
00:40:33.000I'll keep them in case I get hurt again at some point, you know?
00:40:37.000And fortunately I had them because I was like, dude, that pain that you're going through when you get on a plane, because in Japan I had busted my foot and then I had to fly 16 hours and my foot was swelling on the plane.
00:40:49.000It's the pressure of being at high altitude.
00:44:39.000Maybe I should, you know, something about sleeping on something, I don't know what it is, man, but it gives me a truer compass as to which direction I should go.
00:46:22.000I'm just away from it and I see the whole engine in my sleep and it's like you put the ratchet in there and you pull on it and that's the tensioning bolt.
00:46:30.000I have a crazy spiritual idea about that.
00:46:33.000I think when you go to sleep you go into the spirit world.
00:46:57.000There's something to that, because I got some stuff going on now where I'm just like, when I wake up the next day, I'm like, you know what?
00:47:33.000You know, like when you go to bed, you wake up in the morning, you just still got the shit that you left behind the day before piling up and bills you got to pay and chores you got to do and all these different tasks that need to get done.
00:48:16.000I'm one of those guys, my brain, I feel like as soon as I wake up, first thought leads into the next, into the next, and you can't stay ahead of it.
00:48:26.000And not staying ahead of it, you're kind of being dragged along, being pulled by these thoughts in all these different directions.
00:48:31.000Especially when I'm trying to organize something.
00:48:33.000Sometimes if I don't have a list or something like that, I'm not gonna get...
00:48:37.000If I have five things to do, I'm gonna get one thing done if I don't have a list.
00:48:40.000You know what changed a lot of my life?
00:48:43.000I started working out early in the morning.
00:49:53.000So, there's already a victory by the time it's, you know, 8 a.m.
00:49:57.000That, to me, like, then my day just starts off way better.
00:50:01.000Like, I start off with a clear perspective.
00:50:04.000Yeah, I guess it's similar, especially when I was fighting, because you woke up, get a run in, eat something, head to the gym, you know, and then you train.
00:53:32.000So you're riding them both together, but you're doing a conditioning workout and your coach is standing right there and you take your feet off of the pedals and you're pumping with your arms.
00:53:45.000Not that I don't like it, but one of the in the conditioning workouts the parts that was so hard and kind of draining that I don't know what you call it, but it's the with the hydraulic presses.
00:53:55.000Oh, that's miserable too because every direction Yeah, like there's no rest on that machine.
00:54:00.000Yeah, there's none It's kind of crazy when you go back and look at like old-school strength and conditioning workouts that fighters used to do and You know comparison to all the crazy shit that guys do today Who, which, which camp?
00:54:25.000I always think of ATT. I always think of them because they were like, when Lambert created that place, Dan Lambert, the fucking man, that guy, that guy's done a lot for MMA and doesn't get his horn blown enough.
00:56:03.000And they were saying they wanted to pump everything up full of blood, and then they fill him up with carbs.
00:56:09.000And it would just, everything would blow back up.
00:56:12.000So like the muscles get super dehydrated because he's draining himself out big time.
00:56:16.000You know, he was walking around north of 200 pounds, cutting down to 170. And then after the weight cut, they would swell him back up again.
00:56:26.000So they got to put 30 pounds back on him in 24 hours.
00:56:29.000And that was one of the methods that they used was exercise followed by fuel.
00:56:36.000I guess it kind of makes sense, but it also confuses me.
00:57:30.000Like, with T-Bow, I've been in the locker room with T-Bow a couple of times at ATT, and I'm like, hey, T-Bow, what are you weighing right now, man?
00:57:36.000He's like, oh, my friend, like, 190. I'm like...
01:00:20.000Like now there's like two months you get like six, seven, seven cards.
01:00:24.000Well, I always felt like you got fucked and Josh Thompson and a lot of guys in your era because they cut out the 55 pound division for a long time and then you went out and fought up Bodog and all these other organizations.
01:00:58.000It's like those years, like there was those guys, like you, Thompson, I feel like Gilbert staked his claim in the UFC and had some epic fights in the UFC, but I honestly don't think we see the same Gilbert that we saw in Strikeforce.
01:01:37.000There's not a lot of guys that can take it like that.
01:01:41.000I haven't been in a lot of wars that were back and forth.
01:01:45.000Even if the fight had some attrition, a lot of times I was winning the striking battle and I wasn't taking as many shots as those guys have taken.
01:01:54.000And you have to have a chin to do that.
01:02:04.000My record shows like 60-something fights.
01:02:07.000I have like 80-plus fights overall, and I still look at some of those fights like Diego and Gilbert, and I'm like, man, I'm so glad.
01:02:17.000Joe, I remember as a kid, I was laying on my couch watching Vernon White and Pancras, and I'm laying there watching, and he's getting his ass beat.
01:02:25.000And he gets to the third round, and he turns it around, knocks the guy out, right?
01:02:29.000And I'm like, I roll off of the couch, I get on my knees, and I'm like, God, please let me have fights like that.
01:02:34.000That's the kind of fights I want to have.
01:02:36.000I'm like, this young kid, you know, and I want to do that.
01:02:38.000I want to have epic fights like that, right?
01:02:40.000But now that I'm done, and I'm looking back at it, There are times I watch that stout fight, and when I get hit, I'm just like, oh, it hurts.
01:02:48.000It didn't hurt then, but it hurts now.
01:02:51.000I feel a slight physical pain from it.
01:04:13.000But you know, there's a guy who did something like that, and he was willing to go to war, but you can see he still kept his technique when he went to war.
01:04:21.000And I'm talking about Max Holloway with Lamas, when he was right here, right now.
01:04:27.000He started trading, but he wasn't just sitting in the pocket trading.
01:04:31.000He was throwing his, getting out, coming back, getting some, and getting out.
01:06:57.000And that he would be dusting up all these really high-level guys in the gym.
01:07:02.000There's something though about being in the gym, and I know you know this, but the thing about being in the gym versus being inside the octagon, it's that the stakes are real now.
01:07:15.000Like in the gym, a lot of guys will open up more because you can't really lose there.
01:07:34.000So you're not putting everything on the table that you would in the gym because the risk is so much greater.
01:07:41.000And I think that's where the guys who can perform, who step up to the game, I believe that's the aspect that they have to their game that's missing from some of these guys who are world beaters in the gym, but they just can't bring it to the field.
01:07:54.000Yeah, it's a mental strength, for sure.
01:07:56.000And it's confidence in your technique and the outcome.
01:08:01.000Some people think that the world's against them.
01:08:04.000There's an attitude that some people have, like, ah, it never works out for me.
01:08:10.000But it's interesting, because those are the guys that can't catch a break.
01:08:13.000And you always wonder, what came first, the chicken or the egg?
01:08:17.000Is it the attitude that is making their life this...
01:08:22.000Impossible puzzle to solve or is it they just got they just keep getting shitty rolls of the dice I think it's the attitude probably it's like It's a snowball effect from the very first decisions you make real early on Especially when competing you know like everybody knows that there's times where you can quit Everybody knows there's times where you you know you didn't train as hard or you didn't push as hard you didn't and some people Some people don't learn.
01:08:52.000They have those moments, like when you're a little kid, and maybe you're wrestling or something like that, and you got scared, and you didn't perform well, and then you go back and go, okay, that sucked.
01:12:04.000Sorry, this is going to be a bunch of things tied into one thing, but...
01:12:09.000Babies when they're first born like first thing that come out of baby usually cry right right and it's like My thought on that is like, this is the first time they've felt anything outside of that womb, right?
01:12:21.000And they don't know what pain is, like a pain tolerance.
01:12:23.000The first time you got kicked, it hurt a lot more than it does now, right?
01:12:29.000So like every sensation is new for them, right?
01:12:31.000And then you're growing up and you grow up to be these people and your parents are telling you you can do anything.
01:12:35.000But at the same time, they're telling you don't do that, right?
01:12:39.000So it's like the mind is, your brain is this blank slate when you're born.
01:12:44.000And you get all these different influences.
01:12:47.000And this goes back to the people that are like, I can't catch a break, I can't catch a break.
01:12:52.000It's like, are we doing this right for so many people to have this attitude?
01:14:33.000The fuel people are the people that are kicking ass, the people that are out there just fucking hustling, always, always getting things done.
01:14:41.000My friend Jocko, every morning I'll check his Instagram page, 4.30, shows a picture of his watch, get after it.
01:14:47.000He's out there working out 4.30 in the morning.
01:15:11.000After a while, even if they're your good friend, you gotta be like, bro, you gotta fucking stop.
01:15:15.000You gotta stop with all this I can't catch a break bullshit.
01:15:18.000All the time you're complaining, you could be instead hustling.
01:15:21.000You could be instead chasing your dream.
01:15:23.000You could be instead figuring out what you're doing wrong, trying to prove certain aspects of your life, getting your shit together, reading a book, meditating, something!
01:16:33.000If you're watching something that has a message where you have to think, where you can see yourself in that and you can put yourself in these situations and you're like, oh, well, I can empathize with that or I can this.
01:19:25.000Wasn't Schilling the guy that exposed that crying kid?
01:19:29.000Yes for being a racist and his family was already and then his mother said something like Contacted shilling about keeping money in the what with the whites or some shit Yeah, Joe was um Joe reached out cuz he wanted that he wanted to you know He wants like bring the kid out or train him to a Bellator event.
01:19:45.000Yeah kid the kid it was a Viral we shouldn't put the kid up, but he's a little kid I don't feel like we should give the kid any more exposure or anything like that.
01:19:55.000Because the kid didn't do anything wrong.
01:20:22.000There's a lot of trolls out there, man.
01:20:23.000I feel like there's been reports that it was, and there's reports that it wasn't, and I didn't pay so much attention to it that I could be positive as to what the ruling was.
01:23:42.000And I mean, it's representative in the laws that came right after slavery was abolished.
01:23:48.000Did you know that there's a reason why, you know, when people think about people from the South, people think of them as being like slack-jawed and kind of stupid.
01:23:56.000That's like the worst stereotype, right?
01:24:02.000There was a hookworm epidemic in the South for years where a substantial portion of the population had hookworm where they were walking around barefoot and they got shit in their feet and those parasites infected their brain and compromised the way they think and severely diminishes your level of thinking.
01:25:42.000Millions of those blood-sucking parasites lived, fed, multiplied, and died within the guts of up to 40% of the population stretching from southeastern Texas to West Virginia.
01:25:54.000Hookworms stymied development throughout the region and bred stereotypes about lazy, moronic southerners.
01:26:05.000I remember learning about hookworms as a kid in the Bahamas, but as you're reading that, I'm like, you know what?
01:26:11.000Maybe, I go through this whole thing in my brain as you're reading.
01:26:15.000Maybe if they didn't do what they did to Native Americans, because those guys had moccasins, and they probably had moccasins because they learned about this a couple hundred years ago.
01:26:44.000Because I always think that when I see those survivor dudes that like to walk around barefoot, those crazy dudes that get the thick calluses in the bottom of their feet.
01:28:31.000Like this shit is like a cast for your foot, you know?
01:28:34.000And so the idea is when your foot is in those kind of like a normal running shoe, it's not really squishing and pushing and you're all your muscles aren't getting activated.
01:29:03.000When I first started doing MMA for a long time, until I went down to Florida and was at American Top Team, there were certain things that I didn't do without shoes on.
01:29:13.000Like, if we were kickboxing, I would put on shins and I would wear my wrestling shoes.
01:30:56.000But when you say that, I start thinking about when we talk about changing your DNA, where we started with the hookworm thing, and your feet.
01:31:05.000If you take someone from an area that is...
01:31:50.000You know, that's one of the things that's so terrifying about Francis Ngannou, is that he's 270 pounds, cuts down to 265, but he moves like a panther.
01:32:14.000But he's hitting you like a nuclear weapon.
01:32:17.000It's just a different kind of power on his punches, a different kind of power in his body, but he also has the ability to move fast like a smaller person.
01:32:26.000Most of the time when you get a really powerful person, there's some sort of compromise that has to be made.
01:32:32.000But what happens when a guy like Francis Ngannou, you develop his wrestling so that it's like a Cain Vlasquez?
01:34:18.000Like he just drove forward with so much tenacity that his body is like tires are flying off and bolts are breaking and it's just too much strength in the mind.
01:34:30.000When you say that, I picture, I see it in my head, and I picture him moving forward a lot like Nurmagomedov moves forward.
01:35:41.000Now, is that just what happens when you get both things?
01:35:43.000I believe, especially with those guys, where those guys are concerned, it has to do with the number of quality guys that they have that are fighting at the same time, and there only being so many hours in the day.
01:35:56.000So they're in the gym at the same time, having to do the work that they need to do to prepare for a fight, but they're all on the same mat, and guys are running into each other.
01:36:06.000So, Luke is over here, and Khabib is over here, but they've got five different guys rotating for them, and one of those five guys is the reason that Nurmagomedov gets hurt.
01:38:24.000That tenacity that makes you sometimes a problematic sparring partner, that same mental strength, and who knows who's telling the truth, because this is obviously alpha male, they were a little salty after he left, and I don't think they're lying, but I think there's two sides of the story,
01:38:41.000and there's also people accentuate their position.
01:38:45.000Yeah, I mean, if you watch a video versus hearing two people tell a story, you see three different things.
01:38:52.000Yeah, man, I've had people tell me things like, man, you won't believe what happened.
01:38:55.000And then I watch the video, I'm like, wait a minute, what did you think you saw?
01:39:28.000That is really the number one problem.
01:39:30.000If all the rules, all these different things, those are all a problem, the judges are the biggest problem, by far.
01:39:36.000Like every, it seems like every UFC, I'm waiting to interview the fighter, I'm in the cage, and they're reading the scorecards, and I just go like...
01:39:45.000Every UFC, it's like one fight, at least, where I'm like, what?
01:40:10.000I can't remember what it was, but when the judging came up, I heard 30-27, and I was like, there was no guarantee that any guy won any of those rounds.
01:43:35.000I mean, there's a part of me that can't see that fight going exactly the same way, but I can also see Cub having made adjustments because of the lessons that he learned from that fight.
01:45:54.000Because you have to make that extra effort.
01:45:57.000When you start hip escaping, and on a regular guy, a guy that you're comfortable with the size, you don't have to make the movements as long.
01:46:08.000But Luke, his build and the way he is...
01:48:53.000If you're a competitor and you understand the benefit and the value of competition, I'm not talking about capitalism competitive.
01:48:59.000I'm talking about just actual competitive in anything.
01:49:02.000Anything where you're trying to get a position, and it's a very difficult position, so you want to work harder than the other people around you.
01:49:08.000You know about merit-based Performance.
01:49:11.000Like, you know, like, you should achieve based on your merit, based on what you have actually shown to, like, how much work you've put in, what you've accomplished, you should benefit from that.
01:49:23.000And the idea that everybody should be paid equally, and that everybody should just have, oh, man, we'll just contribute, and just, I'll give a little, you give a little.
01:50:28.000But if you want the same amount of money as that motherfucker's up at 430 in the morning, hustling, constantly cranking out, got three different things in the air, three different things going on, projects constantly, always in the middle of something, always pushing, always trying to improve, always looking at himself, always being self-critical,
01:50:44.000always analyzing, what do I have to do to get better?
01:50:46.000And you're not, but you want the same outcome.
01:50:54.000I feel like there's this, the world, or especially the country, is in the best place when there are more people in the middle.
01:51:01.000When there's these extremes, and I feel like the people that were in the middle, they've somehow been dragged further out to these extremes because, yeah, going far right with some things, right?
01:52:27.000They can win a Super Bowl because of the socialistic revenue sharing inside the NFL. It's a weird dynamic where there are things that apply in different situations, but people can't compartmentalize enough so that these things can happen and we can all make it work out.
01:52:48.000I feel like you said about healthcare and education.
01:53:06.000But then when you take the same type of effort and you put that somewhere in a poor area, their scores come up and they can compete if they have the same effort from the faculty and the staff and whatnot.
01:53:59.000Everybody deserves to have that at the very least.
01:54:03.000So let's enforce the laws and patrol and do those things in this area just as much as we do for this area and put the money into that because that's a community thing.
01:54:14.000Now when we're talking about what they have, they have nicer pools.
01:54:17.000Well, they pay higher taxes and they do this thing.
01:54:19.000Okay, well, if you want that, now that you're safe enough and your education is where it is, let's start reinvesting in that community.
01:54:26.000Let's not get to the point where we can afford to be here.
01:54:47.000All these things are all over the place and you've got to put them together.
01:54:50.000Well, we don't treat our country as if it's a giant community.
01:54:53.000If it was a giant community where everybody's equal, we would look at all the problem spots and say, okay, well, there's these crime-ridden, poverty-stricken communities that can't seem to catch a break.
01:55:04.000So the people that come out of that, even though we're saying, hey, there's an open playing field to compete, that's not true.
01:55:10.000Because they're coming at it with a massive disadvantage from the jump.
01:55:14.000An education disadvantage, an environmental disadvantage in what they see around them all the time.
01:55:19.000They're around a lot of I-can't-catch-or-break dudes, right?
01:55:22.000A lot of criminals, a lot of bullshit, a lot of different ways you could go wrong, a lot of things that could set you down a terrible path in life, and it's around you all the time.
01:55:31.000And if we tried to engineer society to say, well, how do we have less people that are disadvantaged?
01:55:42.000Well, you've got to go to the problem spots.
01:55:44.000All the problem spots we should be dumping money in.
01:55:46.000And And I'm not saying that we shouldn't do anything overseas, because I think a lot of the things that we do overseas probably help and protect us over here.
01:55:55.000But there's a lot of shit we don't have to do.
01:55:57.000And that shit, we could take that money and just fix cities.
01:56:00.000Just go in and throw a ton of money and compassion and education and community centers and make places safe for people to learn how to be an adult.
01:56:10.000You know what the U.S. military budget is yearly?
01:59:08.000But I was thinking about that, and I'm looking at it, and if it's exponential, in 50 years, we will have nearly 20 billion people on this planet.
01:59:44.000$139.7 billion in new mandatory funding for the U.S. Department of Education.
01:59:47.000The budget supports implementation of Every Student Succeeds Act, which embraces many of the reforms in the administration along, has long supported to improve outcomes for all students.
01:59:57.000It also makes crucial investments that build the administration's work to advance educational equity.
02:00:05.000And excellence, support teachers and school leaders, promote college affordability and completion.
02:02:47.000Get in your car and get to traffic and go to UCLA. The only thing good about that is you're in the room with someone like a Jordan Peterson or some really good professor that's really inspirational and you're in there with them and they talk to you and you're like, oh, okay.
02:03:00.000And you get to be in their presence and see like, Oh, this guy was probably my age one day and he figured all this shit out.
02:05:22.000If you have the right guidance, you can have the syllabus from a college course, and you have the internet.
02:05:30.000Without getting the paper that says you've done it, you can literally learn what you would learn in a classroom.
02:05:38.000You should have to take a test for the job you do.
02:05:40.000Say if you're a car stereo installation person, you should have a real deep knowledge of the electrical systems in an automobile and what electronics sync up with that and how it works well and what makes them work and how does a radar detector work?
02:06:11.000He should have a real deep understanding of the human body, but like, how does that do you any good if you want to be a mechanic or if you want to be, you know, whatever the fuck you do for a living, there should be a way where you could, like if you're an advertising executive,
02:06:26.000you should take a test to find out how much you know about the advertising business, and there's a lot of shit that you don't need to know.
02:06:33.000That you went to school for to get a degree.
02:06:36.000Yeah, there's some weird things that go along with that though.
02:06:38.000It's like you have all these things that you have to take these courses to graduate.
02:06:50.000You want to understand the world, right?
02:06:53.000There are things that are more important.
02:06:54.000You take that back to high school, and we can talk about, like, everybody knows the Pythagorean theorem in high school, but you can't do your taxes.
02:07:01.000And you start working, most people start working at, like, 16. When you start working at McDonald's or Gap or something at 16, 17, you're still paying taxes at the end of the year, right?
02:07:11.000So, doing that in February and March, in school, in your math classes, how is that not something that happens, you know?
02:07:49.000Very specific to whatever the fuck your business is.
02:07:54.000You don't need to take gender studies classes.
02:07:56.000But also you probably don't necessarily need all the textbook knowledge because there's certain jobs that actual experience matters more than the textbook knowledge.
02:08:10.000I couldn't tell you exactly which ones.
02:09:28.000And the thing about technology, it's like there's some savants in that, you know?
02:09:33.000There are these kids and these people that pick up on technology and they understand it so well, and they have no formal education with it, or no real formal education.
02:09:42.000Technology is one of those things that I, especially, I feel like it's the most apparent thing where you don't have to go to school You have to have the experience.
02:09:55.000But then again, it comes back to what we're talking about with discipline.
02:09:57.000Like, how much time do you want to spend to work on things?
02:10:00.000And look, that's applicable to finding.
02:10:02.000Like, you knew so many people in the gym that just did not put the time into drilling techniques and learning them and really Getting a fully comprehensive understanding of why you're supposed to do something a certain way.
02:10:15.000And they just kind of listened a little bit, worked out kind of hard, and maybe they had a little bit of athletic talent.
02:10:20.000And then they would come back in, but the guys who would stay and drill and think and learn and take notes, those guys always moved past.
02:11:22.000I knew how to shoot a double, a basic double, the 1990s double.
02:11:26.000But then I started training with Tyron.
02:11:29.000Then I started training with Steve Brown and Dan Vallemont and Jordan Lean and these D1 wrestlers and starting to learn all the other aspects of wrestling.
02:11:37.000There was something I did in the fight with Stout where it's an ankle breaker.
02:12:21.000And they also particularly don't want to get involved in something they're not really good at.
02:12:26.000Like if you're a monster at one thing, like if you're a monster on the ground, you don't want to be a white belt at kickboxing, get your legs chewed up, and get your nose bloodied every time you spar, and you're covering up in the corner and be like, I can just grab this guy and make him my bitch.
02:14:32.000His left leg switch kick is probably the fastest kick I've ever seen anybody throw from that stance.
02:14:37.000I'd love to see something lined up where you time a regular person, a southpaws, right kick, I'm sorry, their left kick, and you time his switch kick to that, or also put his up against somebody else's switch kick.
02:14:52.000He's got like a Muay Thai World Championship caliber switch kick.
02:14:55.000You see a real high-level Thai boxer, they've got that same kind of speed to it.
02:15:00.000You watch his and you're like, there's no comparison in the octagon.
02:17:41.000I know I'm biased, but I feel like my argument is strong in that the ref, Herb, came back to the locker rooms and he explained to us that we're using the old rules.
02:17:52.000So, if by the old rules, all three of those needs were illegal...
02:17:56.000It doesn't matter if it was intentional.
02:24:26.000Rod Woodson was this safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I was like, he's 5'9", 200 pounds, because there were only two weight classes back then.
02:29:52.000That highlight kick that you landed on him, too, was like one of those UFC pre-fight video highlight reel things that would play with the Who song.
02:30:55.000It's fun going back and watching the whole card because you start getting these memories of being around that, preparing for those days, being on the card and seeing those guys.
02:31:05.000The fights were like in Bossier City, Louisiana.
02:31:09.000Some small town, these small arenas where I'm close to Texas families driving over.
02:31:16.000And then when I first went to Vegas to fight, man, that first fight in Vegas was right after 9-11.
02:34:25.000The best defense is proper jujitsu defense, but there's something to headbutting someone who's got your back that it's another thing they have to think about.
02:34:33.000But if you allowed headbutts, then you would allow the ultimate move from the rear naked choke position, which is him elbowing you in the back of the head.
02:34:48.000Remember Mark Coleman when he fought Maury Smith?
02:34:50.000In those old days, Coleman would get on top of guys and just smash his fucking head right into your nose.
02:34:55.000There was an event from Australia from way back in the day, from I think the late 90s, where this guy won one of his fights in the tournament, or maybe a couple fights, from inside the guard headbutting.
02:35:18.000Got on top of him, got the back of his head, stuffed his chin into his eye socket, and lifted up the back of his head and crushed his chin into his eyeball.
02:37:07.000You kind of get this attitude or you start developing this persona of like, I don't have to do all that work because I'm not even doing that much and I'm still smashing everybody in here.
02:37:18.000Well, that's where it's crazy about a guy like Jon Jones.
02:37:22.000He's one of the rare guys that actually can do that.
02:37:26.000Man, I wonder how much money he's left on the table with all these problems, especially with the attention that Conor's brought to the sport and a guy like Jon Jones.
02:38:05.000In this case, because it doesn't make any sense any other way.
02:38:09.000Because if you look at how he tested positive and what he tested positive for, and how recently he tested negative before that, and how recently afterwards he tested negative, you're talking about something that was such a minuscule trace amount, there's no way you could consider taking something like that and having it have some sort of positive effect,
02:38:36.000So, I've heard, and I don't know how true this is, I would expect it to be somewhat true, but I've heard, like, in boxing, you know, you...
02:38:45.000The main eventers, they've had these issues where they would provide their own food because they don't trust the staff for somebody spiking their food with something.
02:38:58.000That sounds far-fetched, but it also sounds to some degree reasonable.
02:39:04.000His position was weakened by his testimony in the California State Athletic Commission hearing because, first of all, he said that Malky had forged a signature on one of the documents, on one of the things that he was supposed to have gone over, like what you can and can't.
02:39:17.000I think it was a USADA... I'm just kidding.
02:39:37.000But that's not good and then there was a bunch of stuff in like what he Provided as a possible source of that stuff You know like he didn't he didn't have in these a lot of the things that he provided as a source this stuff in his list of stuff that he had taken Yeah,
02:39:54.000you know There's a lot going on there man, but the real problem is like John at one point Thomas being represented by Nike I mean, he was representing Nike.
02:40:16.000You know, the coulda, shoulda, woulda shit goes on forever.
02:40:20.000And on top of that, the coulda, woulda, shoulda, of that being pre-Reebok and it being Nike with everything that's come to the sport since then, imagine if John...
02:40:31.000Like, he could have gone a Jordan route in some sense, you know?
02:42:16.000And so it was like, but are you checking off boxes?
02:42:20.000Because are these the best brains and the best speakers for the job?
02:42:23.000And it was like, and, you know, some people see the point that he was trying to make, the point that he claims that he was trying to make.
02:42:32.000But the thing is, when you start in on this race thing, you're saying effectively that there's a person or a group of these people are only there because of the color of their skin.
02:42:47.000You could say all of that without the whole, I get it, you're not racist.
02:42:52.000Are you checking off boxes or whatever?
02:42:54.000Because if that doesn't matter to the question or the point that you're trying to make, then why bring it up?
02:43:06.000He's definitely not a racist, but he definitely talks too much.
02:43:09.000Yeah, and I don't mean that in a bad way like he talks too much I mean like he says he has too many podcasts and too many things and you say things and I'm a hundred percent guilty of this You say things and you're like why I even say that and then all of a sudden you're defending it and then you're caught up in a You know,
02:43:25.000just like a wave of just trying to sort out what you're saying without someone being there to say, well, look, here's the thing.
02:43:35.000Tyron Woodley, UFC welterweight world champion.
02:43:38.000Eve Edwards, arguably the best 155er in the world at one point in time.
02:47:34.000But sometimes he says shit that doesn't make sense, and maybe if you were in the room with him, he wouldn't have said it, or maybe he would have said it better, or maybe he would have said, are these really the best minds?
02:48:17.000It's not like there's some overwhelming absence of the best guys where they're saying, hey, why are you going with these black guys instead of going with the best guys?
02:48:35.000I have no idea, but there's also a formula.
02:48:37.000I mean, you and Jimmy Smith kind of are the exception to the formula, and the formula is to have the color guy and the play-by-play guy, and the play-by-play guy is usually the one with the actual experience.
02:48:49.000You've been doing it so long, you're as close to having the experience as anybody can without having it.
02:48:55.000And Jimmy's right there next to you in that.
02:48:57.000Jimmy's actually more experienced than me because he's fought MMA. Right.
02:49:19.000She is the person that asks the questions, that has an idea, but doesn't have the experience.
02:49:26.000She represents the fan for the most part.
02:49:29.000And she does it in a non-robotic way, which is very important.
02:49:32.000For the person watching, if you've got some guy who's like a radio DJ coming at you, Those people, they know how to say the right words and they can do it and seem professional, but you're not smooth.
02:49:45.000Whereas Karen knows how to be fun and she can be loose and she's non-robotic while being professional.
02:50:20.000Whereas you would say, okay, there's got to be someone out there that's better, who really understands the game, who could get in there and ask questions to this dude and find out why they chose that play, what went wrong, what was he thinking when this happened.
02:50:37.000That's what I want to see with fighting.
02:50:40.000To me, fighting is so much more personal, so much more intense.
02:50:45.000When I see someone that's interviewing someone, I want to see someone who really fucking cares, because I know there's a lot of people who do care.
02:51:45.000See if he gives me something I can try to make him laugh with.
02:51:48.000Sometimes I came with something set up, but there was one time, I forget who it was, I think it was a Jeremy Stephens, and you would ask me to take you to the replay, and I was literally watching it, and you would ask me a question, and I wasn't even paying attention to you, so it worked out perfectly.
02:52:04.000I was like, Joe, I'm sorry, I was watching that, and I was going to ask you to ask the question again, and it hit me, and I was just thinking, damn, I'm smooth.
02:52:14.000And I got that reaction out of you, so that was fun.
02:52:17.000That would be a natural reaction if you said that.
02:52:19.000I also like helping the guy celebrate.
02:52:23.000There's moments when someone does something where someone almost has to tell you how amazing that was.
02:52:30.000You know it was amazing, but I want to let you feel it even more.
02:57:00.000You just miss seeing that left leg kick.
02:57:04.000It's one of those things where you love it so much.
02:57:07.000There are times when I'm watching fights, man, and there are some guys that are just outside the top 15. I couldn't tell you any names right now, but like Jake Matthews when he was at 55. Like, I feel like this kid is good and he's awesome.
02:57:21.000They're much bigger than they were back in my day, but still, I'm like, man, sometimes I watch fights and I'm like, man, you motherfuckers are so lucky I'm not 25. Just because of the things you know now, you know?
02:57:35.000The older fighters have way more knowledge and understanding of what to do, but their body doesn't respond that way anymore.
02:57:41.000And that's sort of the balance of it all, is that the young fighters have all the piss and vinegar and fast twitch muscle fibers, and they don't know that much.
03:02:04.000So we're in the gym, we're working out, and he's like, so he says them to me, and he's like, you should write this down.
03:02:11.000Because my buddy tells him, yeah, he does stuff on the Fox desk for UFC. And so he's like, he pays a little more attention to me at that point.
03:02:18.000He's like, yeah, he's going back to theater.
03:02:19.000He wants to do some theater because he wants to clean up his stuff.
03:02:22.000And so he's like, you should write this down.
03:02:24.000And I'm like, fuck, I grabbed my phone and I start recording.
03:08:46.000When you're talking about the first, the initial part of it, and I conveyed this to him, you know, was you're saying me or my brother or my sister aren't good enough to be here.
03:08:55.000So, like, that's disrespectful because I fully believe that we all are.
03:10:25.000You can't afford to buy some new ones.
03:10:26.000Yeah, but if you paid a lot of money for pants that are already fucked up, you saw that shit in a magazine somewhere, that's what bothers me about Brendan.
03:11:13.000I love it because there's a couple times when, you're not disparaging of either fighter, but there's a couple times when you start seeing a strength in another guy, and there's two fights for me where that happened, and I was able to just clip him right as you're giving the other guy some praise.
