00:00:00.000 I know you start saying, oh, I don't want to fight small guys, but what's going on?
00:00:06.520 I think it's crazy.
00:00:11.180 So why are they doing the fight?
00:00:13.360 They don't need a fight today, in my opinion.
00:00:15.040 Islam's already walked through the way. 0.99
00:00:16.760 Yeah, he beat Armand, he beat KG.
00:00:20.880 The whole division?
00:00:22.020 Yeah, clearly it's the only fight that makes sense.
00:00:24.420 I think they're both phenomenal fighters.
00:00:25.920 It's the fight that I want.
00:00:26.620 Yeah, it's going to be an easy fight for Ilya, but it's the fight, too. 0.98
00:00:30.340 It's so stupid to, let's say, I mean, Ilya's my friend, I love him, but it's going to be stupid to he fights Oliveira if he lost against Oliveira. 0.97
00:00:39.060 It's not just your friend, he's earned the shot. 0.99
00:00:40.640 I don't know the guy, but that's clearly the guy who didn't get the shot.
00:00:42.740 Yeah, you're saying like, all right, all right, this is the champion.
00:00:47.080 Do you think it's going to be easier or harder than the first fight?
00:00:49.980 It's going to be harder for me.
00:00:51.360 I mean, if it's easier, oh, it's good, but I have no preparation for the hard fight.
00:00:56.620 And this way, you have to train from hard, I mean, you make it look easy, but if I'm kidding, oh, like sometimes it's harder for me to train hard because I know I beat this guy.
00:01:10.100 You have to psych yourself.
00:01:11.220 Exactly, I have to be still hungry.
00:01:12.980 I have to remember it.
00:01:14.620 First time I was challenger and I was game and I was hungry and I was disciplined and I was, yeah, but like you said, like he takes one punch.
00:01:23.580 If I make any mistake, if I should go, I'm not going to punch.
00:01:27.320 If that's great, yeah.
00:01:28.440 He has some choke.
00:01:29.380 His jitsu is underage, so I think his jitsu is pretty good.
00:01:31.740 Do you think our goal can be my side?
00:01:33.580 No.
00:01:34.580 I think so, but my side is...
00:01:39.580 You want to be right now.
00:01:42.580 Thank you.
00:01:43.180 I think so, but my side is going to be right now.
00:01:55.180 I'm going to make this.
00:01:57.240 It's lonely at the top, lot of people are watching and want me to flop.
00:02:00.800 I'm telling the kids if I can do it, then anyone can, car came from none.
00:02:04.040 One stop and search away from the blocks.
00:02:05.980 In this life I don't feel fair, only man that can make me afraid is good.
00:02:09.180 Negative press on the shade room, anything good it don't make the blocks.
00:02:12.200 It's a quick little five and a half hour flight, but when you go west coast you time travel,
00:02:20.200 so it's going to be about the same time on that ride.
00:02:24.200 I was just 16, witnessing that at that age was wrong.
00:02:26.940 Detach myself from every emotion.
00:02:28.920 Yes.
00:02:29.560 Yes.
00:02:30.340 Yes.
00:02:31.380 Yes.
00:02:33.160 I'm jumping the barriers if the inspector get on the train.
00:02:36.120 Back in Las Vegas.
00:02:37.840 Las Vegas is a very dystopian feeling to it.
00:02:41.180 One you can only describe if you're here.
00:02:43.180 I think the slots in the airport is describing what I'm talking about.
00:02:47.760 It was 24?
00:02:49.080 Yeah.
00:02:49.260 All right, thanks so much.
00:02:51.260 Close call.
00:02:52.300 Can't forget these.
00:02:53.220 Now the whip that I'm in is an impatient one.
00:02:55.220 Put my foot on the gas when the light goes amber. 0.99
00:02:57.260 Try to touch me on guns, we'll shoot.
00:02:58.520 We don't do kung fu and fight like band-up. 0.55
00:03:00.600 My guy's a convicted criminal, so he got to hide from cameras. 0.99
00:03:03.620 All of my bitches pretty as hell. 1.00
00:03:05.060 I could start up a beauty pageant. 0.99
00:03:06.440 How'd I end up with a weight and clap for my started my day and end?
00:03:08.900 The first time I went to a casino, I went to Atlantic City, and I showed up in a suit because
00:03:13.720 I thought everyone shows up well-dressed, like the mafia era with suits, and you come
00:03:19.720 here and it's like, oh, they're wearing Cookie Monster pajamas and flip-flops.
00:03:23.540 Don't gamble.

00:04:10.740 Appreciate it, man.
00:04:11.560 Of course, man.
00:04:12.360 I'll see you tonight. 0.98
00:04:13.000 I think almost certainly that girl was a prostitute because when she gave me her number, she put 1.00
00:04:26.600 in a Google Voice number. 0.59
00:04:28.220 Who uses Google Voice?
00:04:31.040 I'm meeting up with Jake Shields in 50 minutes.
00:04:44.120 Been here for 10.
00:04:44.820 No one's taking my order.
00:04:45.780 I hate Las Vegas.
00:04:46.780 I just don't like Las Vegas, man.
00:04:48.600 I always want to leave.
00:04:49.380 Doc and Light did sell it in two before I got an invite to my Rubens all-white party, 4th
00:04:53.840 of July.
00:04:54.280 I was sat in a trap with a pack all night.
00:04:55.900 Cocaine fragrance weren't dressed in white.
00:04:57.720 15 minutes away from the shop, but I said I'll get there in less than five.
00:05:00.840 It gives me the ick when those come around.
00:05:02.480 I'm trying too hard to impress the guys.
00:05:04.020 How much are you up right now?
00:05:10.400 I'm going $200 off five bucks.
00:05:12.260 Okay, $200 off five bucks.

00:05:16.420 That's what I'm supposed to do.
00:05:17.600 That's what I'm supposed to do.
00:05:18.440 But you're not going to.

00:05:30.960 I said I'll get there in less than five.
00:05:32.640 It gives me the ick when those come around and try too hard to impress the guys. 0.93
00:05:36.020 The marketing from online casinos is so genius that they turn one of the most pathetic 0.90
00:05:40.940 environments into a social club that celebrities hang out at.
00:05:45.380 Yo, what are you doing here?
00:05:46.500 Hey, what's going on, man?

00:06:11.920 That was good.
00:06:12.560 That was good.
00:06:13.160 No, this is like a weird householder.
00:06:16.680 Well, you've got to be careful in places like this, brother.
00:06:22.880 Okay.
00:06:23.500 Alhamdulillah.
00:06:24.140 Alhamdulillah.
00:06:24.580 I met Islam Makhachev at a casino two years ago, and he told me, brother, you have to
00:06:29.880 be careful in places like this.
00:06:31.560 I'm recording a video right now about how dangerous it is to gamble, because online casinos, they
00:06:36.340 made it really cool for people like Drake and Conor McGregor to be gambling all the time.
00:06:41.120 But in reality, you're going to be 55, smoking cigarettes, overweight, sitting here,
00:06:44.740 spinning slots, and losing your pension.
00:06:46.080 Imagine, so it's better to just do it.
00:06:49.000 But you know what? 0.99
00:06:49.840 When you go to those people, you take the L, they're losers. 0.99
00:06:53.400 I mean, that's 99%. 0.91
00:06:54.900 The winners are the people who own the casino.
00:06:56.920 Yeah, exactly.
00:06:58.120 But, so, where are you from?
00:07:01.340 Actually, Venezuela.

00:07:15.840 It's very Venezuelan.
00:07:16.680 Oh, it is?
00:07:17.340 Okay, okay.
00:07:18.040 Nice to meet you guys.
00:07:18.920 You guys gambling?
00:07:19.920 Okay, I'm literally going to gamble my college tuition away, bro.
00:07:22.900 I'm not even trolling.
00:07:24.040 Wait, your whole college tuition?
00:07:25.440 Yeah, everything.
00:07:26.060 So how much is that?

00:07:33.320 Yeah, everything.
00:07:33.900 On what?
00:07:34.300 Blackjack? 0.67
00:07:35.060 No, I play back rat. 0.75
00:07:36.140 Back rat craps. 0.88
00:07:36.940 Throw the dice. 0.97
00:07:38.020 Okay, so...
00:07:38.600 Win a billion dollars.
00:07:39.640 Why are you doing that?
00:07:40.980 It's fun, bro.
00:07:42.140 It's a good rush for the heart.
00:07:43.400 Sometimes you come up fat.
00:07:44.460 Well, what if you lose?
00:07:46.240 Then I don't go to college, bro.
00:07:47.760 How old are you?

00:07:49.500 Do you endorse this as...
00:07:50.900 No, hell no.
00:07:51.580 This guy's not a lot of gambler.
00:07:52.720 He's not...
00:07:53.060 How old are you?
00:07:53.780 He's good.
00:07:54.680 I'm 19.
00:07:55.360 Wait, 25, you're still in college.
00:07:57.300 Exactly.
00:07:57.760 What do you think? 0.98
00:07:58.520 He's degenerate, bro. 0.98
00:07:59.940 Yeah, yeah. 0.98
00:08:01.060 Okay, well...
00:08:02.300 Yeah?
00:08:02.880 Gamble responsibly.
00:08:03.900 Yeah, hopefully it goes good.
00:08:04.960 Hopefully, yeah.
00:08:05.820 If I come up 100K, come through.
00:08:08.560 I'll be here, I'll be here.
00:08:09.280 I'll buy your table or something.
00:08:10.320 All right, cool.
00:08:11.060 Okay.
00:08:11.240 Take care, bro.
00:08:12.220 Nice to meet you guys. 1.00
00:08:14.080 What the fuck? 0.99
00:08:16.220 Can I see your shirt? 1.00
00:08:18.200 Oh, God.
00:08:18.480 Oh, thank you.
00:08:20.220 This is funny here.
00:08:21.520 Deshaun.
00:08:21.960 Yeah, the do-rags.
00:08:22.800 No, it's Deshaun.
00:08:23.980 Yeah, the do-rags.
00:08:24.740 Oh, there's a do-rag right here. 1.00
00:08:26.460 Hey, thanks for bringing Joe Schilling here.
00:08:27.780 What did you think of that short training session, like 40 minutes?
00:08:30.140 A lot of work, though.
00:08:31.160 Yeah, it was just nonstop.
00:08:32.320 That's all you need a lot of time.
00:08:33.280 There's no breaks.
00:08:33.960 Hour in and out.
00:08:34.440 Yeah, no breaks.
00:08:35.160 Just go, go.
00:08:35.820 Guys who come to the gym is three or four hours and get like- 0.99
00:08:38.160 And dick around. 0.93
00:08:39.040 Yeah. 0.99
00:08:39.360 It's just like, go, go.
00:08:40.200 You don't need these long training sessions.
00:08:42.100 I mean, sometimes your work's more technical, but for boxing, it's simple.
00:08:45.280 You want to come in, burn out.
00:08:46.680 If you keep going, you're not going to put in as good work.
00:08:49.480 I'm surprised that you weren't comfortable enough with your boxing ability to train one-on-one
00:08:54.200 without Joe Schilling.
00:08:54.940 I mean, Joe Schilling was great, but I'm surprised you were at the highest level of fighting in
00:08:58.120 the world.
00:08:58.780 Yeah.
00:08:59.000 And you're still like- American jiu-jitsu wrestling is your strong suit.
00:09:01.980 Yeah, I'm an expert in jiu-jitsu.
00:09:03.640 If someone has to speak as a training jiu-jitsu, I think I'm one of the best in the world and
00:09:06.500 coaches.
00:09:07.220 Out of all the fighters, I would praise myself, but I have to be realistic.
00:09:10.480 I'm a good boxer, but I'm not like that world elite level Joe, and you're my friend, so
00:09:14.000 I'm not going to try to like- I don't have an ego where I need to be like, oh, I'm going
00:09:16.320 to be the best boxing.
00:09:17.120 I know realistically, Joe's a better boxing coach than me, so it makes sense to bring him
00:09:20.620 over.
00:09:20.880 Yeah, what's the bro code, Jake? 0.99
00:09:22.360 You just never talk shit about a friend or an ex-friend. 0.88
00:09:24.380 I think it's completely unacceptable, even if you're not friends with anyone. 0.98
00:09:27.280 People are calling out saying, oh, we used to party, this guy did this and that.
00:09:30.400 It's just, it's not cool to do.
00:09:31.740 When I see guys doing that, I don't want to hang out with that person.
00:09:33.620 No, you shouldn't not be, especially if they're gathering evidence, if they're collecting
00:09:36.540 Epstein blackmail.
00:09:37.600 That's insane.
00:09:38.460 I had a friend of 20 years having to be of a certain group who was like doing blackmail,
00:09:43.960 trying to get sponsors after me, had old pictures.
00:09:46.700 I'm just like, wow.
00:09:48.640 It was shocking to me because I'm just such a good, loyal friend.
00:09:51.660 I would never stab someone in the back.
00:09:53.060 So when someone does it, it's just, I was mad for Dave, but it was just kind of hurtful.
00:09:56.520 Even if I had like an issue with a friend and I had a bunch of stuff going out, parties,
00:10:00.780 chicks, I would never do that. 0.94
00:10:02.000 It's just a, it's bro code.
00:10:03.600 If you don't want to do that to someone else's friend, you're like, that guy's not someone
00:10:06.020 you could ever trust.
00:10:06.940 It transcends manners.
00:10:08.040 It's like a different, it's an unspoken rule.
00:10:09.880 What's more important than clout is actually relationships because clout comes and goes.
00:10:14.040 But if you have a long-term relationship with somebody who has good opportunities, then
00:10:17.560 you're right back where you were left off.
00:10:19.360 You nailed it.
00:10:20.300 Cause that's, I have all long-term relationships because everyone I've been around fighting for years
00:10:24.420 knows I keep my word, all this stuff.
00:10:26.100 So whenever I want to do any business or same thing, starting a podcast, I'm getting just
00:10:29.320 such a great guest because I have all these relationships.
00:10:31.540 The Georgian belt.
00:10:33.240 Hey, the champ is here.
00:10:35.020 How are you?
00:10:35.460 Thank you.
00:10:35.840 What up, man?
00:10:57.440 Hey, what's going on?
00:11:00.480 Oh my God.
00:11:01.180 Do you see Marab over there? 0.95
00:11:05.440 What the hell? 0.87
00:11:06.400 That's Marab. 0.95
00:11:06.920 That's the champ right there.
00:11:09.100 No.
00:11:09.820 Yeah, it's a crazy day.
00:11:11.300 Hey, we're looking at me.
00:11:12.300 Yeah, sure.
00:11:13.240 Oh my God.
00:11:13.960 I hate it so much.
00:11:30.920 You guys are like, oh, your next fight's going to be super easy.
00:11:33.420 And it's like, no, I can't beat the fight as well.
00:11:35.060 Exactly.
00:11:36.000 If you look any fight easy, you're going to get knocked down.
00:11:40.280 You're going to lose this fight.
00:11:41.940 You have to take it serious.
00:11:43.280 Any fight.
00:11:44.900 Then if you play chess, you have to be game.
00:11:48.040 You have to dominate.
00:11:49.080 It only takes you one fight.
00:11:50.600 I don't know, if I do the small gloves, the chokes,
00:11:53.060 but you might have a mentally bad day.
00:11:54.840 There's just so many factors.
00:11:56.900 You guys are like, oh, Shano Mali's easy. 1.00
00:11:58.780 Are you insane? 0.95
00:11:59.640 Shano Mali's like world champion. 0.99
00:12:01.440 Phenomenal.
00:12:02.360 It takes one mistake.
00:12:03.660 Oh, his knees and stuff?
00:12:05.300 Yeah, exactly.
00:12:06.240 That's why I like, I know how game I was first fight.
00:12:09.460 And I did everything good.
00:12:12.160 And he still got me with the kick.
00:12:14.360 Oh, he did that nice kick.
00:12:15.540 Yeah.
00:12:16.940 And then I'm like, because first round,
00:12:21.200 I was taking down and controlling.
00:12:23.640 And sometimes I let him get up.
00:12:25.920 But then when he got me, I'm like, why I let him go?
00:12:29.800 I should try my best. 0.73
00:12:31.160 Because I'm like, hook the leg and beat him up. 0.57
00:12:33.000 Yeah, I should, I let him get up.
00:12:34.600 But now I know he's going to make lots of adjustments.
00:12:38.460 But yeah, like you said,
00:12:39.340 people tell me, oh, yeah, it's easy, bro.
00:12:41.460 It's not easy.
00:12:42.060 I'm picking you to win that fight.
00:12:43.640 That's a tough fight.
00:12:44.600 Oh, man.
00:12:44.960 He's a phenomenal fighter.
00:12:46.100 You know, I'm joking.
00:12:46.840 Especially, he's kind of no loss.
00:12:49.100 And then now.
00:12:49.460 He's going to be hungry, yeah?
00:12:50.100 Yeah.
00:12:50.400 That was your last fight.
00:12:51.920 Have you fought since then or no?
00:12:53.360 No.
00:12:53.620 Yeah, he's going to be hungry.
00:12:55.020 He really wants that belt.
00:12:56.120 Do you think it's going to be easier or harder
00:12:57.640 than the first fight?
00:12:58.940 It's going to be harder for me.
00:13:00.420 I mean, if it's easier, it's good.
00:13:02.620 But I have to prepare for the hard fight.
00:13:06.080 And this way, you have to train from hard.
00:13:10.540 You make it look easy.
00:13:11.700 But if I'm thinking, oh, sometimes it's hard for me
00:13:16.380 to train hard because I know I beat this guy.
00:13:19.100 You have to psych yourself.
00:13:20.180 Exactly.
00:13:20.800 I have to be still hungry.
00:13:22.000 I have to remember.
00:13:23.620 First time I was a challenger and I was game
00:13:25.880 and I was hungry and I was disciplined and I was, yeah,
00:13:30.240 but like you said, like, he takes one punch.
00:13:32.660 If I make any mistakes, if I should go,
00:13:34.980 I'm not going to throw one punch. 0.95
00:13:37.440 He has some chokes. 0.69
00:13:38.420 He has a good back taking.
00:13:39.700 His jiu-jitsu is great, too.
00:13:40.960 I think his jiu-jitsu is pretty good.
00:13:42.000 Yeah.
00:13:42.600 I think it's like a little, a little bit harder
00:13:44.180 when you go down to one of the grades
00:13:46.020 and you have to give a few more big wins.
00:13:48.020 And you're like, this is one of the, you know,
00:13:49.980 one of the grades of all time.
00:13:51.020 So, like, you know, you have to keep that hunger,
00:13:52.660 and I'll keep my way up, down there with, like, the greatest.
00:13:55.820 Who do you think was more skilled,
00:13:57.060 Segudo or Sean O'Malley?
00:14:02.160 Segudo surprised me, actually, 0.93
00:14:04.580 how he was like,
00:14:06.720 he came really close and caught me, you know?
00:14:09.760 He was good, but,
00:14:12.300 and then I figured it out,
00:14:14.240 after the first song,
00:14:15.080 I figured out this style
00:14:16.320 and I was doing my right style.
00:14:19.480 I was,
00:14:20.720 I don't know what I'm doing.
00:14:22.500 But, you know, it's two different,
00:14:25.000 two different styles.
00:14:27.120 What's O'Malley style?
00:14:28.880 Irish, McGregor, kind of?
00:14:30.980 No, O'Malley's different.
00:14:32.520 You know, he's still in the wrong range.
00:14:35.480 He's, boom,
00:14:36.880 bop, bop,
00:14:37.540 or just, bah,
00:14:38.700 if you go too close,
00:14:40.120 he's always ready for like this.
00:14:42.100 This time,
00:14:42.860 I think now he's gonna just stop.
00:14:48.420 O'Malley's really good at keeping range.
00:14:50.320 I was talking to you, like, earlier about distance.
00:14:52.440 He has a great awareness of the space,
00:14:54.220 so that's a guy,
00:14:54.820 you can't take him down,
00:14:55.700 but you're just like,
00:14:56.360 he's so good at controlling the distance,
00:14:58.700 but you just, like, blitzkrieg.
00:15:00.220 Yeah, me, I,
00:15:01.440 I know what I was doing.
00:15:03.340 I was making,
00:15:05.240 like, I don't know, like,
00:15:06.340 it was hard to take him down.
00:15:09.060 I know I was game.
00:15:10.700 I know how I was supposed to shoot.
00:15:14.520 I know where I was able to take him down,
00:15:17.120 and I did exactly.
00:15:18.380 The third round,
00:15:19.560 I take him down,
00:15:21.280 and then the referee told me,
00:15:23.120 you gotta do something,
00:15:24.140 and I let him go.
00:15:25.580 And after I was trying, 0.57
00:15:27.220 I shoot a couple times,
00:15:28.300 he was defending.
00:15:29.480 You know what I'm saying?
00:15:30.020 He's good.
00:15:30.980 But,
00:15:31.360 because when I was really trying,
00:15:33.520 it was very hard.
00:15:34.260 Oh, he's just,
00:15:35.620 the distance is so good.
00:15:36.560 People are like,
00:15:36.840 oh, he's taking him down.
00:15:37.580 Are you out of your mind?
00:15:38.300 Have you watched this guy fight?
00:15:39.180 Like, here's your good friend,
00:15:40.600 and tonight he was so good,
00:15:41.760 you know?
00:15:42.260 Yeah, I was just making,
00:15:44.580 like, a big mistake,
00:15:46.060 and I, you know,
00:15:46.760 like, I was on point.
00:15:47.860 No, he'll catch a small mistake.
00:15:49.420 That's why he was a world champion,
00:15:50.640 too.
00:15:51.000 Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:15:52.520 You have to, you know,
00:15:53.200 go out there and fight perfect
00:15:53.960 when you're fighting elite guys.
00:15:55.000 But even you,
00:15:55.380 you're an amateur.
00:15:56.320 You gotta still rise to the occasion.
00:15:57.980 What's your plan?
00:15:59.240 You're boxing much.
00:16:00.200 What's your game plan?
00:16:01.160 I plan,
00:16:02.040 one, two,
00:16:03.100 stick to my range.
00:16:04.580 One, two,
00:16:05.020 hold on.
00:16:06.000 One, two,
00:16:06.900 move.
00:16:07.860 No.
00:16:08.160 You're not gonna go right.
00:16:09.840 No, no, no, no.
00:16:11.320 He's gonna do it.
00:16:12.480 That's what I'm about.
00:16:13.280 That's what I think he's gonna do.
00:16:14.420 Okay, then maybe
00:16:14.860 if you come like this,
00:16:16.000 right here,
00:16:16.780 move.
00:16:18.480 Take him time first.
00:16:20.040 You know,
00:16:20.280 usually the amateur fighters,
00:16:21.800 if they don't have experience,
00:16:22.900 they're gonna get tired.
00:16:23.820 Yes,
00:16:24.120 no,
00:16:24.380 no.
00:16:24.680 Maybe,
00:16:26.460 okay,
00:16:26.840 you know,
00:16:27.580 boxing,
00:16:28.100 you can,
00:16:28.320 you can,
00:16:28.960 you can,
00:16:28.980 you can,
00:16:29.160 you can,
00:16:29.560 you can,
00:16:30.160 you know,
00:16:30.560 you know,
00:16:31.460 make you tired.
00:16:32.160 What advice would you give to someone
00:16:58.520 taking that first fight?
00:16:59.940 What?
00:17:00.320 What advice would you give to someone
00:17:01.800 taking that first fight?
00:17:03.640 Just go do your best.
00:17:05.400 You know,
00:17:05.640 don't,
00:17:05.920 don't,
00:17:06.340 don't think over too much.
00:17:10.200 Like,
00:17:10.360 don't stress too much.
00:17:12.040 Just go and do your best.
00:17:13.560 Whatever he was practicing in the gym.
00:17:16.220 What advice,
00:17:17.340 just spine in the gym.
00:17:18.900 Do more spine,
00:17:20.100 you know,
00:17:20.440 light spine,
00:17:21.120 touch spine.
00:17:21.740 And this way,
00:17:23.040 you release to it.
00:17:24.000 Like,
00:17:24.180 see everything we have.
00:17:25.940 And then,
00:17:27.160 and then when you go fight,
00:17:29.360 just whatever I use,
00:17:31.040 you know,
00:17:31.300 in the spot.
00:17:32.820 That's incredible.
00:17:34.260 Okay,
00:17:34.420 try to think more like it's training.
00:17:35.840 Because sometimes you get too worked up,
00:17:37.200 you gotta learn hard,
00:17:38.160 because you gotta learn for a lot.
00:17:39.240 Especially,
00:17:39.700 you gotta have a little pain,
00:17:40.580 you gotta be watching,
00:17:41.360 and everybody don't fight.
00:17:42.100 It's a ton of pressure.
00:17:43.660 Yeah,
00:17:43.840 yeah,
00:17:44.020 so sometimes when you fight,
00:17:45.640 it's a ton of pressure,
00:17:46.440 you know,
00:17:46.780 and,
00:17:47.220 yeah,
00:17:47.480 not,
00:17:48.000 not sometimes.
00:17:49.420 Yeah,
00:17:49.700 every time.
00:17:50.500 I don't understand these guys,
00:17:51.360 they say they don't get scared.
00:17:52.220 It's like, 0.99
00:17:52.400 how the fuck do you not get scared? 0.98
00:17:53.580 And it's just the most terrifying thing to do. 0.98
00:17:55.820 I don't know if scared is the right word,
00:17:57.080 but there's like some nerve before you fight.
00:17:58.740 Yeah,
00:17:58.940 it's crazy,
00:18:00.000 but every time it's different.
00:18:01.540 Sometimes,
00:18:02.960 I'm crazy.
00:18:04.420 I used to excite them,
00:18:05.980 like,
00:18:06.120 almost every time there.
00:18:07.920 Now,
00:18:08.680 because of now,
00:18:09.860 I know what I'm gonna do.
00:18:11.800 I'm like,
00:18:12.200 okay,
00:18:12.680 all I'm thinking is,
00:18:14.440 like,
00:18:14.720 I'm stepping.
00:18:15.500 You still want to overthink it,
00:18:16.460 right?
00:18:16.680 I try to overthink it.
00:18:18.080 And,
00:18:18.100 you don't have to get too much stress.
00:18:19.700 You go through it.
00:18:20.120 Oh,
00:18:20.300 you walk out there,
00:18:20.960 so I fought this year.
00:18:22.180 How was that?
00:18:22.760 That was like,
00:18:23.120 I was like,
00:18:23.140 I was like,
00:18:23.640 I was like,
00:18:25.820 I was very relaxed.
00:18:27.800 And I like,
00:18:28.600 it was good life.
00:18:30.000 Yeah,
00:18:30.280 I was not that much fortunate.
00:18:32.120 And the people was a little bit far away,
00:18:34.280 and they took good,
00:18:35.280 because not too many people around.
00:18:36.840 Oh,
00:18:37.040 if it was less like pressure,
00:18:38.240 you're driving it.
00:18:39.560 But I cannot really hear.
00:18:41.620 And they was very quiet,
00:18:42.700 and I like it.
00:18:43.320 I don't know.
00:18:43.580 Oh,
00:18:43.640 yeah.
00:18:44.300 Yeah,
00:18:44.520 you fight in Japan,
00:18:45.320 it was just silence in the crowd.
00:18:46.840 It's like,
00:18:47.160 too quiet almost.
00:18:47.860 It's like,
00:18:48.200 we were hearing.
00:18:48.820 Yeah,
00:18:51.360 so,
00:18:51.700 one,
00:18:53.160 two,
00:18:53.340 you said one,
00:18:53.880 two?
00:18:54.300 One,
00:18:54.560 two,
00:18:54.760 yeah.
00:18:55.040 So,
00:18:55.720 let's say,
00:18:56.040 I'm going to tell you,
00:18:56.780 what are you going to do?
00:18:58.040 Yeah.
00:18:59.040 I'm going to tell you.
00:19:00.540 What?
00:19:02.040 Yeah.
00:19:02.680 Yeah.
00:19:04.040 I'm going to tell you.
00:19:06.040 I'm going to tell you.
00:19:11.040 I'm going to tell you.
00:19:12.040 I'm going to tell you.
00:19:42.620 I'm going to tell you.
00:19:43.360 I'm going to tell you.
00:19:56.100 I'm going to tell you.
00:19:57.960 Yeah,
00:19:58.320 I think the distance is the biggest thing you've got to work on, but it's better.
00:20:01.500 He's solid.
00:20:02.620 He's solid.
00:20:03.860 He's solid.
00:20:04.960 I feel like it's all about this.
00:20:06.780 It's like one of the most crucial things I taught you to throw time is that distance,
00:20:10.680 He's a streamer, they don't know him.
00:20:14.680 Is he pretty big or no?
00:20:16.680 I think no.
00:20:18.680 No, he's not very much.
00:20:20.680 I just want my first fight, it's fun.
00:20:22.680 I'm getting old, I'm 26.
00:20:24.680 Every man can fight it.
00:20:26.680 It really changes, you make sure you're a better person.
00:20:30.680 How old were you when you started? 21?
00:20:36.680 Yeah, they say it's just me.
00:20:38.680 How old are you now?
00:20:39.680 34.
00:20:41.680 That's right in your prime.
00:20:43.680 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:45.680 I'm like, I'm saying like I said,
00:20:47.680 I'm the same guy, same hungry, same motivation,
00:20:49.680 but it's just getting hard and hard.
00:20:53.680 All these texts, people I know, important stuff, sponsors.
00:20:59.680 It's hard to say no to opportunities.
00:21:03.680 You're a nice guy, I suppose he had everything,
00:21:05.680 but you get overwhelming sometimes.
00:21:07.680 It's hard to say no to people.
00:21:09.680 Yeah, I want to say yes to everything,
00:21:11.680 but I have to be.
00:21:13.680 You have to focus on your fight too.
00:21:15.680 That's why I really appreciate you that we do this.
00:21:17.680 You really have to be selfish and focus on your fight
00:21:19.680 when you're winning both titles.
00:21:21.680 Especially the closer to the fight against you.
00:21:23.680 That's why I came forward early to come over with you.
00:21:25.680 A couple weeks for a fight, 1.00
00:21:27.680 I just don't always tell them to fuck off. 0.99
00:21:29.680 It's easy anyways because of UFC and countdowns. 1.00
00:21:33.680 They're giving you so much media.
00:21:35.680 Yeah, like when you're at camp, the media is insane.
00:21:37.680 I remember when I bought these, it wasn't the champ,
00:21:39.680 the media obligation they gave you was insane.
00:21:41.680 That takes a lot of time.
00:21:43.680 It's hard to keep talking.
00:21:45.680 How much do you weigh right now?
00:21:47.680 How much do you weigh right now?
00:21:49.680 Good job.
00:21:51.680 20 pounds is different if you're heavy weight versus 35 pounds.
00:21:55.680 Yeah.
00:21:57.680 This is the hardest thing.
00:21:59.680 What weight is the hardest thing?
00:22:01.680 Yeah.
00:22:03.680 That's 10 pounds.
00:22:05.680 That's 10 pounds.
00:22:07.680 You're still going to be humble.
00:22:09.680 Your body type that you don't blow a lot of extra water,
00:22:12.680 so it's going to be harder for you to some people.
00:22:14.680 Yeah.
00:22:15.680 It does.
00:22:16.680 It's a pretty good time.
00:22:17.680 I mean...
00:22:18.680 It's very beautiful, but...
00:22:19.680 It's still going to...
00:22:20.680 For us, 10 pounds is time.
00:22:21.680 But, I mean, it's one day work.
00:22:23.680 For you, you're going to still cry.
00:22:25.680 It's going to be humble.
00:22:26.680 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:22:27.680 I'm not going to cry.
00:22:28.680 If it counts to us, it's like,
00:22:29.680 oh, I'll drop that in a couple hours.
00:22:30.680 You're 155 right now.
00:22:31.680 You're lightweight.
00:22:32.680 Would you ever go up in weight class?
00:22:36.680 Maybe.
00:22:37.680 Yeah, if super fights make sense, of course.
00:22:40.680 I would like to challenge,
00:22:41.680 but now I want to clean out my division,
00:22:43.680 and, yeah, just improve it, man.
00:22:47.680 It's my division.
00:22:48.680 I want to focus on one thing.
00:22:49.680 One thing at a time.
00:22:50.680 Yeah, yeah.
00:22:51.680 You got to look at one fight at a time.
00:22:52.680 I would love to see you fight for the BMF belt.
00:22:54.680 Yeah, I'm good.
00:22:57.680 You got the real...
00:22:59.680 You got to do the big challenge.
00:23:01.680 I think now is your time,
00:23:02.680 and your popularity really just skyrocketed
00:23:04.680 the last couple of fights,
00:23:05.680 so now it's time to make some real money
00:23:07.680 and stay focused.
00:23:08.680 Usually you have to stay.
00:23:09.680 If you lose a little bit of focus, 0.99
00:23:10.680 it's fucking... 1.00
00:23:11.680 It's tough. 1.00
00:23:12.680 Every fight is tough.
00:23:13.680 Yeah, man, man.
00:23:15.680 Yeah, like...
00:23:17.680 And like we're saying,
00:23:18.680 even your group,
00:23:19.680 that is the guy,
00:23:20.680 even Omali,
00:23:21.680 he's not going to let you make any mistakes.
00:23:23.680 It only takes one punch.
00:23:28.680 It's actually dangerous.
00:23:30.680 You have the tools to beat him for sure,
00:23:32.680 but he's a dangerous guy.
00:23:33.680 Some guys aren't dangerous,
00:23:34.680 and Omali is always dangerous. 0.97
00:23:35.680 Yeah.
00:23:37.680 But because people are like...
00:23:39.680 I'm very master-making now,
00:23:41.680 because if they look satisfied,
00:23:43.680 and they look easy,
00:23:45.680 they'll be...
00:23:46.680 I mean, you clearly didn't want to fight,
00:23:48.680 but it wasn't easy.
00:23:49.680 Yeah, exactly.
00:23:50.680 I think I thought it was a good fight.
00:23:51.680 Yeah.
00:23:52.680 Because obviously you want to fight.
00:23:53.680 It's very exciting.
00:23:54.680 Yeah, people don't know.
00:23:55.680 Because people,
00:23:56.680 like,
00:23:57.680 not traditional like you,
00:23:58.680 they cannot see...
00:24:00.680 They can't see the danger
00:24:01.680 with his envy,
00:24:02.680 his kicks, I guess.
00:24:03.680 No, really.
00:24:08.680 What do you think about López?
00:24:10.680 Well, López...
00:24:12.680 I mean,
00:24:13.680 López,
00:24:14.680 I mean,
00:24:15.680 López is a really good fighter,
00:24:16.680 but López
00:24:18.680 give him very,
00:24:19.680 very good fight.
00:24:20.680 López
00:24:21.680 López,
00:24:22.680 but...
00:24:23.680 I was,
00:24:24.680 like,
00:24:25.680 I was not...
00:24:26.680 I mean,
00:24:27.680 I was not accepting
00:24:28.680 this much close,
00:24:29.680 you know?
00:24:30.680 Because the fight was...
00:24:31.680 3-2 maybe.
00:24:32.680 Yeah,
00:24:33.680 that's a very close fight.
00:24:35.680 Well,
00:24:36.680 win for sure,
00:24:37.680 but...
00:24:38.680 close.
00:24:39.680 Yeah,
00:24:40.680 it was a good fight.
00:24:41.680 López
00:24:42.680 it's a good fight.
00:24:43.680 So,
00:24:44.680 we're gonna have to be a hit. 0.99
00:24:45.680 Both here have to be a hit.
00:24:46.680 We're gonna have to be a hit. 0.99
00:24:47.680 We're gonna have to be a hit. 0.99
00:24:48.680 We're gonna have to be a hit. 0.99
00:24:49.680 We'll be a hit.
00:24:50.680 You should not be a hit.
00:24:51.680 Do you think our goal could be López?
00:24:53.680 No.
00:24:54.680 I think so.
00:24:55.680 López
00:24:56.680 I think so.
00:24:57.680 López
00:24:58.680 we'll be a hit.
00:24:59.680 You fight pretty similar to him.
00:25:01.680 You fight pretty similar to him.
00:25:03.680 Here and here.
00:25:05.680 Oh! 0.60
00:25:07.680 Yeah, I see. 0.94
00:25:09.680 I got to hit him with that nice thing. 0.95
00:25:11.680 Oh, man.
00:25:13.680 Nice show.
00:25:15.680 Nice show.
00:25:17.680 It's Deco.
00:25:19.680 I'm about to show you.
00:25:21.680 Yeah, so, what's cool about riding too?
00:25:23.680 It's like a little bit wide now.
00:25:25.680 When I first came up, it was Brazil versus America. 0.66
00:25:27.680 I was in Japanese, but now there's like channels coming out.
00:25:29.680 Every time.
00:25:31.680 It's so cool.
00:25:33.680 George is on top right now.
00:25:37.680 Did Ilyush get the fight against the mom?
00:25:41.680 That's the fight to make for him.
00:25:43.680 Yeah.
00:25:45.680 Yeah.
00:25:47.680 He vacated well.
00:25:49.680 That's what I'm saying.
00:25:51.680 Yeah, two champions.
00:25:53.680 He gave it up to a fighter.
00:25:55.680 He's like, he's saying, he's not anymore
00:25:57.680 of Petalweight.
00:25:59.680 He's lightweight and he's champion.
00:26:01.680 Who have, who you have.
00:26:03.680 Like, I know he's not saying.
00:26:07.680 First fight, he's saying,
00:26:09.680 oh, I don't want to fight small guys.
00:26:11.680 But what's funny?
00:26:13.680 He has the biggest name.
00:26:15.680 Yeah.
00:26:16.680 I think it's pretty easy.
00:26:17.680 I don't, you know, I'm like scared of people.
00:26:19.680 I think it's pretty easy.
00:26:20.680 I don't want to fight.
00:26:21.680 That's why they're doing the fight.
00:26:22.680 I have no idea.
00:26:23.680 Literally, the fight's amazing.
00:26:24.680 Like, who else would deserve a 4-0?
00:26:26.680 Yeah, exactly.
00:26:27.680 His mom's already walked through the lake.
00:26:28.680 Yeah, he already beat Armand.
00:26:30.680 He beat Olivera.
00:26:31.680 He beat KG.
00:26:32.680 The whole division.
00:26:34.680 Yeah.
00:26:35.680 Clearly, it's the only fight that he's done.
00:26:37.680 I think they're both phenomenal fighters.
00:26:38.680 It's the fight that I want.
00:26:39.680 Yeah, it's gonna be easy fight for Ilya.
00:26:41.680 But instead, it's the fight to... 1.00
00:26:43.680 It's so stupid to... 1.00
00:26:44.680 Let's say... 1.00
00:26:45.680 Let's say...
00:26:46.680 I mean, Ilya's my friend.
00:26:47.680 I love him, but... 0.98
00:26:48.680 It's gonna be stupid to hit fight Olivera 0.99
00:26:50.680 if he lost against Olivera. 0.99
00:26:51.680 It's not just your friend.
00:26:52.680 He's earned the shot.
00:26:53.680 I don't know the guy,
00:26:54.680 but that's clearly the guy to give the title the shot.
00:26:55.680 Yeah.
00:26:56.680 You don't say, like,
00:26:57.680 alright, this is the...
00:26:58.680 He's champion versus champion.
00:26:59.680 I guess he's facing the belt,
00:27:01.680 but not really.
00:27:02.680 He's still champion.
00:27:03.680 He should be.
00:27:04.680 He's champion.
00:27:05.680 He should be champion versus champion.
00:27:06.680 No, the guy's phenomenal.
00:27:09.680 I've been watching the race.
00:27:10.680 They're like,
00:27:11.680 wow, this guy's good.
00:27:12.680 The UFC can use a big super fight like that.
00:27:15.680 No, that's the fight to make right there.
00:27:17.680 Like, a fan...
00:27:18.680 I love it.
00:27:19.680 And from a business standpoint,
00:27:20.680 it makes sense.
00:27:21.680 Sometimes in the fight,
00:27:22.680 the fans won't see,
00:27:23.680 but from a business standpoint,
00:27:24.680 that makes sense from a business standpoint,
00:27:25.680 too.
00:27:26.680 Like, that guy's a bunch of shot.
00:27:27.680 Yeah.
00:27:28.680 Typically, when a champ warns,
00:27:30.680 people can fight for the belt,
00:27:31.680 they allow him.
00:27:32.680 I know they say,
00:27:33.680 he can't help.
00:27:34.680 That doesn't really matter.
00:27:35.680 I don't know.
00:27:36.680 It's more just like...
00:27:42.680 Hey, guys.
00:27:43.680 Yeah, man.
00:27:44.680 Really appreciate that.
00:27:45.680 Thanks so much, bro.
00:27:46.680 Always good to see you.
