Transcript
00:00:04.000
It's not a good sign that the fights are still going on for the prelims.
00:00:13.000
Like, usually they time it out better, because it's like 3-0-4 now, and this is 1-37 to go in the third round of Jai Herbert.
00:00:24.000
At least they're not doing it at 5 o'clock in the morning.
00:00:31.000
What time was it in the UK when they said this?
00:00:49.000
Yeah, Jai Herbert's the guy that head-kicked Ilya Teporia.
00:00:55.000
A vicious head kick, and then Ilya fucking starched him in the next round.
00:01:05.000
But, you know, Ilya, that guy, he connects on anybody.
00:01:08.000
Oh, Joe, if you knew, I know you can't probably talk about it, but do you see Ilya's tweet where he's like, I'm going to have big news.
00:01:18.000
If I had a guess, he's probably fighting a top contender at 55. But that wouldn't be unexpected.
00:01:25.000
So, it's not Makashev, because we all assume that.
00:01:29.000
Makashev's going up to 70. Ilya's walking around at 186.
00:01:37.000
Connor would have to be in the testing pool for a long time.
00:01:59.000
That would blow Bare Knuckle right through the stratosphere.
00:02:08.000
Jeremy would have to win a couple more times, but Jeremy's back in the UFC.
00:02:16.000
When we announce it, you won't believe it, get ready.
00:02:19.000
See, when you say you won't believe it, you gotta come with some shit now.
00:02:26.000
But that's the UFC being like, don't announce it yet.
00:02:40.000
And now remember, he tweeted that before Gaethje's fight.
00:03:12.000
I didn't like him going back to 45. I think it's too much of a struggle.
00:03:15.000
He got pretty big when he got up to fight Gaethje.
00:03:20.000
We all remember the knocking of Gaethje in the last seconds there, but he was molly whopping him before that.
00:03:26.000
And it all started off with that jump-spinning back kick to the face in the first round.
00:03:31.000
So that Max Holloway, the true Max Holloway at 55 versus fucking Dustin for Dustin's last fight?
00:03:39.000
The thing is, you gotta wonder, like, how much did that Ilya Teporia knockout take out of Max?
00:03:49.000
Like, his striking, the way he's, like, bobbing in and moving, he's so comfortable with his head movement.
00:03:53.000
You see, he's, like, a step ahead of everybody.
00:03:57.000
And then people are like, oh, he's too small for 55. I'm like, he's actually, that narrative don't work.
00:04:06.000
Look, man, they should all stop cutting weight.
00:04:11.000
They need more weight classes, and they need to stop cutting weight.
00:04:14.000
They need to figure out a way to check hydration levels and put people in a weight class.
00:04:28.000
Yeah, they're really focused on kickboxing Muay Thai.
00:04:40.000
I think the UFC fucked up when they went with slap fighting.
00:04:44.000
I've been telling them forever, you guys should get into kickboxing.
00:04:47.000
If you only like stand-up fights, it's not like the old days of kickboxing where they're boring, like PKA, karate.
00:04:58.000
Also, all your champs are coming from kickboxing.
00:05:03.000
Kickboxing with MMA gloves in a cage would be giant in the UFC.
00:05:17.000
It's fucking exciting, but nobody's watching it.
00:05:22.000
Put the same amount of resources you did in the slap fight into kickboxing and we're cooking.
00:05:31.000
Right. They put how many millions of dollars in jiu-jitsu and they even have more of a budget for it?
00:05:50.000
I know we're boys, but you were really the one to navigate all that.
00:05:56.000
Having the UFC get involved heavily in jiu-jitsu is huge.
00:06:03.000
I think they're trying to put together some kind of tough show now.
00:06:10.000
Which would be cool because then you can build a star from scratch.
00:06:18.000
Because they exclusively signed Mikey Mushameshi, right?
00:06:21.000
Yeah. Boy, it's hard to get people to watch those reality shows these days.
00:06:24.000
I think people kind of burned out on reality shows.
00:06:26.000
You know, DC and Chael are shooting one right now.
00:06:40.000
I watch the finals to see how good the guys are who win.
00:06:45.000
I watched Dana White's Contender Series probably more.
00:06:57.000
If they do that, they get skyrocketed into the UFC.
00:07:00.000
And it's not like Ultimate Fighter, where you can win based off grappling and just hold guys down.
00:07:06.000
Dana White Contender Series, there's dudes who win, and he's like, nah, not excited enough.
00:07:17.000
Is it illegal to have a finish bonus in the UFC?
00:07:21.000
Like, you get paid whatever, $80,000 to show, $80,000 to win, and then another $80,000 if you finish the fight.
00:07:39.000
Go gangster and go, you know, you have show money, and then you get extra money, like, you know, double, but you have to knock them out or submit them.
00:07:58.000
UFL is where, like, Tony Ferguson and Dale Dennis is fighting.
00:08:05.000
Yeah, there's PFL, there's GFL, UFL something else.
00:08:08.000
Bro, we were talking about the one fight that I'm interested in.
00:08:29.000
I saw some promo with some giant dude he's fighting.
00:08:35.000
When he jumped up in the air, I was like, oh, I fucked up.
00:08:38.000
Yoel just fucking jumped up in the air for no reason.
00:08:42.000
Right before he decided to beat his ass, he just jumped straight up in the air.
00:08:52.000
If the UFC does kickboxing, they might as well just come out with a bang and go bare-knuckle kickboxing.
00:09:02.000
Crazy. Would you do it separate from UFC events, or would you do it like one, where you have MMA fights and kickboxing events on the same card?
00:09:10.000
I think you could do whatever you wanted, but you definitely could have a stand-up-only show, and it would be huge.
00:09:15.000
Where they break them up if they clinch against the cage.
00:09:22.000
You know, like, there's no ground fighting at all.
00:09:23.000
I think that's going backwards, to tell you the truth.
00:09:30.000
But when the UFC came out, all of a sudden people were into martial arts again.
00:09:37.000
I see what you're saying, but look, the UFC does grappling events, right?
00:09:51.000
Yeah. Nobody watched UFC 1. They didn't know if it was real.
00:09:54.000
Right. Everyone watched UFC 2. And did they get blown away and get hooked by it because of the striking or because of the jujitsu?
00:10:07.000
Because people didn't realize that you could fight on the ground.
00:10:10.000
I thought fighting on the ground was for pussies.
00:10:11.000
But then it went mainstream for a tough one with stand-up with Stefan and Forrest.
00:10:16.000
But listen, let's imagine that Ankolaev and Pereira fight an only kickboxing fight.
00:10:30.000
If they're going to do it, I'd go bare knuckle if it was up to me.
00:10:33.000
The thing about bare knuckle though is your face gets obliterated.
00:10:42.000
I commentate for Game Bread where it's bare knuckle MMA and seeing JDS and Alan Belcher and Roy, they don't punch the same.
00:10:52.000
They're a little cautious because they don't want to break their hand.
00:11:25.000
Who takes a licking and keeps on ticking better than Andre Arlovsky?
00:11:34.000
2005. That's 20 fucking years ago of hardcore combat sports in MMA.
00:11:41.000
Dude, remember how hard it was for the UFC even to cut him?
00:11:44.000
Because they kept giving him these young lines and he kept beating them.
00:11:47.000
They kept, we're like, dude, just get out of here.
00:11:58.000
So you were saying that Bohovic got both of his shoulders reconstructed?
00:12:04.000
But what's impressive about him is he was fighting with bad shoulders when he beat all these boys.
00:12:15.000
It's a bad injury because it's such a complicated joint.
00:12:32.000
It makes it so that I don't need surgery because I'm supposed to go back for more back surgery.
00:12:37.000
Really? I was supposed to do that two years ago.
00:12:43.000
Delaying that as long as possible and, you know, doing these stretches, man, it takes about an hour and a half to do these stretches every day, but it makes it manageable where I could, you know, tie my shoelaces without pain, you know?
00:12:58.000
Yeah, so whatever you can do to avoid surgery, man.
00:13:04.000
Unfortunately, there's too much work to do with one so they can fix both at once and another surgery soon.
00:13:15.000
And, you know, no peptides, no nothing, because everybody is in this, you know, goofy world where you're not allowed to take stuff like BPC-157.
00:13:28.000
Last three months, two months, I started losing my power, my strength.
00:13:32.000
I tried to do something with physiotherapy and doctors to try to fix it, but every training was worse.
00:13:37.000
Yeah. Now, remember, too, he's also 42 years old.
00:13:43.000
You know, it's less old for the bigger guys, but it's still old.
00:13:47.000
42 is for, I mean, I'm 42. Two shoulders at 42 are hard things to come back from.
00:14:02.000
Even though they think, you know, prospect, I think he's 34, 35. But he hasn't really beat anybody of note.
00:14:11.000
But he hasn't really beat any of the top guys to get to this, so him versus Jan's fun.
00:14:21.000
Like, he was beating Kennedy up, and then he gassed out, and Kennedy fucked him up.
00:14:25.000
Yeah. Like, that's a big fight, because he kind of folded down the stretch.
00:14:34.000
Experience. It's like Sean Brady in the main event.
00:14:36.000
When they gave him Bilal, he just wasn't ready.
00:14:45.000
He had mental coaching and shit too, which I think is important.
00:15:16.000
Amazing. I started taking blue scorpion venom shit.
00:15:24.000
Anything someone offers me, I'm like, I'll try it out.
00:15:29.000
They take Venom and then from peptides with it.
00:15:41.000
Sure. When people get bee stings, they have serious arthritis.
00:15:46.000
They get stung all over their fucking hands and it helps them.
00:16:07.000
I got back on the bench last week and was, no problems.
00:16:42.000
And then I stumbled upon, was it methanol blue?
00:17:06.000
And it also has something that does something for your mitochondria.
00:17:10.000
I'm not the guy to describe it, but Gary Brecca told me to take it, and quite a few other people told me to take it.
00:17:15.000
Yeah, I just stumbled, because I take creatine for neurological reasons and for muscle recovery.
00:17:21.000
Yeah. And then I'm taking so many nootropics, I feel like I leveled out, and then someone recommended this, this methyl blue.
00:17:57.000
Now, with the UFC being involved in grappling, they're not thinking about drug testing anybody, are they?
00:18:08.000
Right. So it's like, unless you're going to sign, which is starting to happen now because there's a little bit more money.
00:18:18.000
You know, they're starting to sign people exclusive now because there's a little bit more money.
00:18:21.000
Yeah. But unless you're going to test across, unless every organization is going to test, and it doesn't make sense.
00:18:27.000
Because then you have guys who are tested in the UFC who are fighting on flow or at one or other events who are fighting guys who are juiced anyway.
00:18:34.000
Right. So the whole reason to have testing is to have guys who are...
00:18:39.000
Right, but if they came up with an organization that came up with the most money and said, but here's the rules, we're going to go USADA.
00:18:45.000
Yeah, that would work, but the problem is that you need a business model where you can make that amount of money back.
00:18:54.000
Most of the guys that are competing on the undercard, or not even the main event guys, you would actually be losing money testing them regularly.
00:19:04.000
But also, when the UFC signs, say, Mikey Mushameshi, is it exclusive?
00:19:12.000
So usually when they do exclusive, I don't know what his contract is, obviously, but usually it's exclusive, but they have cutouts for things like ADCC or big world championships.
00:19:21.000
Otherwise, it's hard to sign the guys completely exclusive.
00:19:25.000
Like, for example, if UFC signed Mikey exclusive...
00:19:29.000
And then he wanted to do ADCC, but it's on Flow.
00:19:33.000
Like, a lot of times the guys have cutouts for that, like big World Championship tournaments.
00:19:39.000
You want to be stuck there if you're not getting enough competition.
00:19:41.000
But, like, a guy exclusives to Flow or to UFC wouldn't be able to compete for, like, Flow Grappling or One normally.
00:19:49.000
Yeah. So is One still doing a lot of grappling?
00:20:02.000
Grappling is so much better than everybody else's.
00:20:07.000
It's like having a guy like that that's that elite with grappling and also young enough to learn striking and just wild.
00:20:17.000
They gave him a tough matchup to a second fight in one championship.
00:20:29.000
He was doing some negotiations, but as far as I know, I think he's going back to one, but I'm not 100% sure.
00:20:36.000
Jamie, can you bring up one championship has a big Muay Thai fight, like huge Muay Thai fight, like one of the biggest ever.
00:20:45.000
For everybody watching at home, first fight is right about to start, and we are...
00:21:41.000
But what I was going to say is I wish we were seeing Jon Jones Aspinall in London.
00:21:47.000
But I think John's going to hold out as long as he can to make the most money.
00:21:50.000
Which you can't be mad at, but also, you know Tom Aspinall?
00:21:53.000
I think soon he'll be the interim champ for the longest ever over 500 days?
00:22:07.000
Like, dude, he's been on your radar for three years.
00:22:09.000
And you took two years to get ready for heavyweight.
00:22:18.000
You trained with him when he was getting ready for Stipe.
00:22:22.000
I was with him for, like, a couple weeks, and then Stipe got hurt.
00:22:33.000
I didn't see with what, but he definitely dropped him.
00:22:38.000
So... But, yeah, the second camp, I was with him for, like, a full, like, six or seven weeks.
00:22:42.000
So... And do you think Tom Aspinall is like, John's going to get him down.
00:22:47.000
If you got him down, John, as far as being Aspinall's guard, do you think it'd be an issue for John at all?
00:22:53.000
No. I think Tom would probably be trying to stand up.
00:22:58.000
And Tom also has pretty good fast takedowns, so they could both take one another down.
00:23:04.000
But I don't think that Tom is going to be able to really do anything besides try to get up on John.
00:23:14.000
He's been doing jiu-jitsu since he was a kid, you know?
00:23:21.000
Aspinall, as a heavyweight, there's no one like him.
00:23:23.000
The only knock on we really haven't seen would just be his defense.
00:23:26.000
You know, his head exposed, his chin leads forward.
00:23:29.000
The one MMA fight I did see him lose, he got heel locked.
00:23:31.000
And it was a pretty shitty heel lock that he tapped, too.
00:23:46.000
He's obviously gotten much better, but it was a pretty shitty heel hook.
00:23:54.000
Think of whatever reason John decides he doesn't want to fight Aspinall.
00:24:09.000
He sticks to the head, just concentrates on the head.
00:24:15.000
If he were to ask me a few weeks ago, I would say have Alex move up, but Alex just lost.
00:24:31.000
So you see, he just scoops the leg from half guard.
00:24:36.000
And Tom turns away instead of trying to face him.
00:24:38.000
So he exposes the heel, and it turns into a heel knee bar.
00:24:43.000
That's a heel hook, but it's a knee bar, but with the heel hook gripping, so he can't turn back into the lock.
00:24:47.000
That dude's in some pub right now going, I beat that guy.
00:24:57.000
Yeah. He's got to go with the dead orchard, right, Eddie?
00:25:13.000
Elvis! That's when no one really thought it was, like, no one really even noticed it.
00:25:18.000
Because you're taught, you only triangle your legs when there's one arm in, one arm out.
00:25:24.000
Right. But his legs are so long, he armbarred Jeremy Horn, and then when you look at it, you're like, yo!
00:25:30.000
He's triangling his legs and he has both arms in.
00:25:36.000
And then Nathan Orchard and Brian Debs, two of my guys, they just started doing it all the time.
00:25:49.000
If you have short legs, you've got to do a Mexican dead orchard.
00:25:55.000
There's a lot of extra stuff you've got to do to pull it off.
00:26:00.000
You've got to go invisible collar to muddy waters and then Mexican dead.
00:26:04.000
Because if you have long hair, if you're a heavy metal dude, if you have long legs and you're on the bottom, Depending on how you match up with the guy, he can get dead orchard.
00:26:16.000
You can triangle your legs with his arms in a perfect defensive position.
00:26:25.000
But if you have short legs and the guy's like this, or just regular legs, there's no way you're going to be able to triangle your legs with both arms in.
00:26:33.000
So with both arms in, the only way a Mexican or a Chinese guy could do a dead orchard is you've got to have this arm down.
00:26:47.000
You gotta get the hand on the mat, and then you gotta get his elbow in.
00:26:50.000
There's a lot of stuff that's super complicated.
00:26:53.000
Dead orchards are not the greatest thing for...
00:26:56.000
Super flexible, and you gotta put a lot of time into it.
00:27:03.000
It's by far the number one armbar in the guard, no gi, and there's not even a close second.
00:27:09.000
Really? One of my black belts has 84 Dead Orchards, and his student, who's a purple one, has 34 Dead Orchards in competition.
00:27:26.000
Ben Eddy got Wilson Hayes in a combat jiu-jitsu match.
00:27:34.000
He just fought Mighty Mouse for the title a month before.
00:27:40.000
But for girls, girls proportionally have longer legs than guys and more narrow shoulders.
00:27:47.000
So if you're a girl out there and you're fighting MMA and you don't have a dead orchard in your game, you're missing out.
00:27:53.000
Girls can do Dead Orchards at a higher level or a higher rate than guys, for sure.
00:28:09.000
Paul Craig's so dangerous, Bo Nickel didn't even take him down.
00:28:12.000
There's so few fighters with dangerous guards in MMA.
00:28:20.000
Fabricio Verdum is the overlooked GOAT heavyweight.
00:28:36.000
Jamal's arm was flopping all over the place, and he's beating on him.
00:28:39.000
As far as jiu-jitsu, you got Gunnar Nelson on the card tonight, and then Sean Brady's no punk either.
00:28:46.000
And I'm sure Gordon would like to point out that he beat Craig Jones in competition.
00:28:54.000
That was one of them deals where you couldn't do heel hooks, though, right?
00:29:09.000
No, he's a great grappler, which is why I'm excited to watch this.
00:29:19.000
And Leon Edwards in the weigh-ins, he was like, I don't realize how small he is.
00:29:23.000
I'm definitely going to have a strength advantage.
00:29:29.000
Well, Leon was saying at the weigh-ins, he's too small.
00:29:45.000
No, anyone who fights Sean Brady is like, he's the strongest guy we've ever gone against.
00:29:54.000
Huge. That's a guy we're like, how the fuck do you make 85?
00:30:00.000
Gordon, in your opinion, what's the best leg lock for MMA?
00:30:10.000
Well, for you guys, it'd be called the honey hole.
00:30:20.000
And then, what do you think about putting it on the outside and going Z-lock?
00:30:24.000
It seems like anything on the outside, it turns the guy and he really can't hit you.
00:30:28.000
Because really, it's about being safe from striking.
00:30:34.000
You see 50-50 in MMA and it works, but you can still reach the guy's face, but you can't really hit him that hard.
00:30:43.000
Outside Ashigarami, or you guys call it double outside, can get hit.
00:30:46.000
But any, like, inside Senkaku, or if you pass leg across to, we call it inside Ashigarami, where you have the, that's how I finished Dickey Rod, where you have the legs triangled inside, but the legs pass to the outside, so you have an outside heel hook.
00:31:00.000
That's great, but because everyone's braking mechanics are, Not up to par on outside heel looks.
00:31:06.000
It's harder to get catastrophic breaks on outside heel looks.
00:31:09.000
So, for MMA, if you have good braking mechanics, like Paul Horace finished a lot of outside heel looks, but his braking mechanics were pretty good.
00:31:21.000
Otherwise, just keep the foot on the other side and go for the inverted.
00:31:43.000
Basically, any time you reap, which is that left leg going on the inside, makes it hard for the guy to hit.
00:31:50.000
So most people think, oh, all leg locks don't work in MMA, you're going to get smashed.
00:31:58.000
Some Brazilian guy, I forget, it was in the Ultimate Fighter.
00:32:03.000
And the guy was like, had a horse stance on top of him against the cage and was throwing down.
00:32:14.000
Because now he can't, now he's punching his ass.
00:32:17.000
And then from the knee bar he got knocked down on his back on his butt And then I turned around jumped on his back and choked him out Yeah, I don't think you're seeing a lot of heel hooks because a lot of guys just aren't very efficient in it They're not focusing on Ryan Hall was one of the first to come in and really do some damage with leg locks.
00:32:36.000
The number one determining factor with leg locking is, insofar as getting hit, is In order for the person to actually hit you, they have to come up on top of you and put weight onto you.
00:32:48.000
So the number one determining factor is, can I keep this guy's head?
00:32:51.000
If you're attacking and you're trying to punch the guy, if you can get your head over his head...
00:32:58.000
So any leg-locking position, which doesn't allow your opponent to get head-over-head, is what's gonna keep you safe.
00:33:08.000
Because the guy can come forward into you and get head-over-head and hit you.
00:33:16.000
But anything where you're reaping, which doesn't allow him to come forward into you, because he'll break his own leg if he stacks you, and he can't get head over head, is what you should be looking for.
00:33:25.000
But if the guy can get head over head, then he can hit you easy.
00:33:27.000
Yeah. You going over leg locks with Jon Jones, is he pretty good at him now?
00:33:32.000
Yeah, he kind of just bounces around from thing to thing.
00:33:35.000
Like, he'll be like, oh, I want to go over some leg locks.
00:33:36.000
And, like, you'll teach him to move, and he'll be like, so Darce's.
00:33:40.000
And it's just like, it's like just ADHD, just bounce.
00:33:48.000
It was his first fight when he fought Stefan Bonner.
00:33:54.000
And I was just hanging out with you because you were taking a private with...
00:33:57.000
Who was the guy from Amsterdam that you were taking privates?
00:34:20.000
He goes, what do you think, you know, you got any advice from me?
00:34:25.000
And he was fighting Stefan Bonner, and I thought, oh, they're feeding Stefan Bonner some new guy.
00:34:31.000
So what I told him is, is there's two kinds of wrestlers that...
00:34:38.000
Wrestlers that love Jiu Jitsu and wrestlers that want to beat Jiu Jitsu.
00:34:41.000
I go, don't be one of those wrestlers that wants to beat Jiu Jitsu.
00:34:47.000
Because the guys that want to beat it, they never last.
00:34:52.000
Also, wrestlers have such an advantage of being able to manipulate bodies.
00:34:56.000
The scariest Jiu Jitsu guys, for the most part, are guys that wrestle their whole life.
00:35:20.000
Remember when we talked to him into going to a big camp?
00:35:30.000
We were hanging out and he was saying, what do you think I should do?
00:35:37.000
You're so good, you're going to get by a long way on your own.
00:35:55.000
And Greg is just such a great mind for strategy.
00:36:13.000
And then you got all those other people over there, too.
00:36:35.000
Even if John mollywops Tom, which I think John would be an underdog in the fight, but let's say John beats Tom...
00:36:41.000
It's like, all right, Tom Asimov's still going to dominate.
00:37:01.000
Because I was cornering him for that fight, his last fight against Stipe.
00:37:06.000
And we found out that Trump was going to be there.
00:37:08.000
And for probably a solid 15 to 20 minutes, we only, while he was warming up, like 15 to 20 minutes, he's getting ready to go out to fight for the belt.
00:37:24.000
Was him just practicing the mechanics on how to do the Trump dance right?
00:37:28.000
We like looked it up, we like YouTubed it, and he was like practicing the Trump dance in the locker room getting ready to dance.
00:37:34.000
How confident are you of victory when you're already practicing your victory dance?
00:37:43.000
We're like, no, like the hand's got to be a little bit high or a little bit lower.
00:37:45.000
So we were like coaching him through it as he was doing it.
00:37:54.000
I never told you this, but I was actually there.
00:38:13.000
So Ed Clay from CPI calls me up and he goes, hey, you want me to pick you up in my private jet and go to see Tyson fight in Dallas, and then we fly and go see Jon Jones fight?
00:38:40.000
We were going to leave on Thursday or Friday morning or Thursday.
00:39:04.000
And then I told my wife, and my wife goes, are you fucking retarded?
00:39:12.000
The kids, I call back, I say, my wife's making me go.
00:39:20.000
And, you know, to be honest with you, dude, I've been to a million UFCs.
00:39:23.000
Like, I'd rather watch it at home or with my buddies.
00:39:31.000
That's funner to me than to see it live to tell you the truth.
00:39:34.000
But when we were there, dude, I was just watching the whole Trump thing go on.
00:39:46.000
And I was just sitting there going, fuck, you're there.
00:39:50.000
I'm like, dude, this is a good time for the deep state to fucking send a missile to Madison Square Garden.
00:40:07.000
Trump walking straight to you and gave you a big fucking hug and he's whispering sweet nothings in your ear.
00:40:23.000
He knew you were ready for the fucking handshake pull.
00:40:44.000
And then John Jones wins and then does the dance?
00:41:03.000
Well, all the athletes started doing the Trump dance after that.
00:41:05.000
A lot of football players were already doing it.
00:41:27.000
If he beats Aspinall, everybody has to shut the fuck up forever.
00:41:29.000
They need to shut the fuck up even if you're going to lose to Aspinall.
00:41:32.000
His resume to light heavyweight, you've got to realize he went through that whole fucking span of fighting the best of the best that light heavyweight's ever had to offer.
00:42:02.000
I don't know, but that's got to be July, right?
00:42:24.000
Can you imagine the drunk tweets he would send?
00:42:37.000
Dude, the first time I saw her, she was an EBI.
00:42:41.000
Her first round match was against Talita Alan Carr, who was a black belt world champion.
00:42:46.000
I gave Talita, like, oh, you're going to get a purple belt, you get the low seat.
00:42:51.000
And I'm sitting there, and I'm reffing, and I'm like, oh, Talita's going to kill this little Irish girl.
00:43:02.000
And the only reason I put her in there was because Keith Prekorian, he sent me a message.
00:43:15.000
She ended up getting her back at the end and winning.
00:43:38.000
I'm wondering what they're going to do with Toporia, but I like what you were saying.
00:43:43.000
Your first introduction at 55, he's kind of a king of 55 and dangerous.
00:43:52.000
But if you're Toporia, you're not going to go up to 55 without some sort of guarantee.
00:43:57.000
Because remember, he's giving up the belt, so he's not getting pay-per-view points.
00:44:09.000
Apparently that last cut was really tough and his team was like, alright, no more.
00:44:14.000
You're not going to give up the pay-per-view points and just dip out and then just go into the queue at 55. What was he weighing when he was fighting 45?
00:44:25.000
Everyone's like, oh, he's too small, 55. I'm like, he's fucking big out of gear, man.
00:44:34.000
He would cut to 55. That guy walked around at 250.
00:44:42.000
I think that dude has the record for weight cut.
00:45:02.000
I sat next to Alex when I was like a jack 230 and he like dwarfed me.
00:45:12.000
They say he fought with a broken hand and norovirus against Ankaleev.
00:45:19.000
When he beat Yuri Prochaska, he had a fucked up knee.
00:45:24.000
Remember when he went and he tumbled at the end of the fight?
00:45:29.000
He was basically fighting on one leg in the first fight.
00:45:33.000
I guess it was probably meniscus because he came back pretty quick.
00:45:42.000
When you stand next to him, he looks like a heavyweight.
00:45:54.000
Everybody's like, oh, this guy's all awkward and shit.
00:46:00.000
I'm like, oh, he's going to get exposed eventually.
00:46:02.000
And then you just see him, you're like, what the fuck?
00:46:04.000
When we saw him early in his career, he did not have a nose.
00:46:13.000
Man, I remember when I got mine fixed, I was like, why didn't I do this a long time ago?
00:46:20.000
Yeah. When his coach came out, he was only breathing at 6%.
00:46:23.000
Capacity, and I was like, this is some bullshit.
00:46:26.000
And then he got it fixed, and this motherfucker's unstoppable.
00:46:29.000
Rockhold just did something online where they did a scan inside of his nose.
00:46:38.000
You get cauliflower ear, that shit, the same thing happens inside your nose.
00:46:42.000
The blood pools up, and it calcifies, and you just get rocks inside your nose.
00:46:47.000
Your nose is just a big fucking closed, like a tunnel that caved in on miners.
00:47:01.000
No homo, you got a button nose, like cute button nose.
00:47:08.000
Has anybody thrown a lot of money at you to try to get you to do MMA?
00:47:13.000
Yeah, I was offered seven figures to do bare knuckle MMA.
00:47:23.000
It wasn't Masvidal who reached out, it was somebody else.
00:47:26.000
I think it was maybe through Philly Fresh reached out, and it was somewhere around seven figures.
00:47:34.000
But it was like, I was getting ready for ADCC at the time, and I'm just like, no.
00:47:38.000
Yeah. You were going to do combat jiu-jitsu, too.
00:47:41.000
It was going to be him against Fabricio Verdum.
00:48:05.000
And then GFL called him and was like, I'm unretired.
00:48:14.000
It's end of May in L.A. What kind of testing they got?
00:48:35.000
It's got to be fake because there's zero chance that Dylan...
00:48:45.000
So they can agree to fight at a weight that they're both comfortable at.
00:48:51.000
That could be 65. But there's no way he makes 65. He could barely make 170 when he was in shape for ADCC.
00:49:14.000
So if Tony goes, hey, man, I feel good at whatever, 168, 170.
00:49:18.000
And Dylan agrees, like, yeah, I'll fight you at 170.
00:49:21.000
Well, Dylan wasn't even making 170 when he fought in Bellator.
00:49:27.000
Athletes can earn a fair share of the revenue generated from events, ensuring their success is directly linked to league success.
00:49:44.000
Jamie, can you just Google GFL's weight classes and see if a website explains it?
00:49:50.000
I know, but I don't think they have it on their website.
00:49:53.000
If they split the profit, what if they don't make any profit?
00:49:56.000
But then what's dope is, let's say Gordon was going to fight and brought in a sponsor, and then they want to sponsor the entire thing, he gets...
00:50:08.000
See, featherweight goes up to 55. Lightweight is 65. Walterweight's 80. So how's Dylan Dance making 65?
00:50:17.000
When he fought in Bellator, he would fight at catchweight.
00:50:27.000
Maybe. Isn't he fighting KSI in boxing, so shouldn't he be in shape?
00:50:32.000
I'm telling you, there's no way Dylan's going to make it.
00:50:49.000
He was going to, and then something happened, right?
00:51:04.000
You would think he could be not even at his best to take that fight.
00:51:27.000
And honestly, I've never been this ill for this long in my life.
00:51:36.000
I haven't been able to post any YouTube videos to help promote the fight because I've just been feeling so bad.
00:52:29.000
There's a bunch of companies that make mouth tape.
00:52:34.000
No. It has before, but I keep an extra one by the bed.
00:52:38.000
When I get like this, like this much stubble, I kind of have to shave so it sticks better.
00:52:42.000
You would have a little bit of an issue with your beard.
00:52:46.000
Probably wouldn't stick that good to your hair.
00:52:47.000
That's why Hitler did his mustache that way, so he could fit a gas mask.
00:52:55.000
Wow. Apparently he was gassed pretty bad in the First World War.
00:53:04.000
I don't know if that's real, but apparently he was gassed pretty bad in the First World War.
00:53:11.000
The first time they decided to use giant fans and gas people.
00:53:14.000
Toothpast mustache, family associated, it said it originated from a military order to trim his large mustache to fertilize wearing a gas mask.
00:53:21.000
During his service in Bavarian Infantry Division, Hitler was ordered to trim his mustache to ensure a proper seal with a gas mask.
00:53:33.000
Michael Jordan's the only guy to ever pull it off.
00:53:51.000
And that's when he decided to run for everything because he thought he was saved by God.
00:53:55.000
You know what's the craziest thing about the gas thing?
00:53:58.000
The guy who invented Zyklon A, which became Zyklon B, which they killed the Jews with?
00:54:04.000
That guy, Fritz Haber, who was a Jew himself, he originally...
00:54:09.000
When he invented this, he also invented the Haber method for extracting nitrogen from the atmosphere.
00:54:16.000
The Haber method is responsible for 50% of the nitrogen in most people's bodies.
00:54:22.000
Because the Haber method of extracting nitrogen made it so they could fertilize all kinds of soil.
00:54:27.000
So he invents that, and he also invents this gas that kills everybody at the same time.
00:54:39.000
Zyklon A was invented, I think it was a pesticide.
00:54:43.000
And the idea was the smell was so awful so that you would recognize when it was there and you'd get the fuck away from it.
00:54:52.000
But when they were gassing the troops, he was being wanted for crimes against humanity.
00:54:58.000
For war crimes, at the same time he was going to win the Nobel Prize for inventing the Harvard Method.
00:55:04.000
Wild. And then when Hitler takes over, the Jews all get kicked out of Germany.
00:55:09.000
And he's kind of sort of privileged because he's a part of the administration, but then he gets ostracized and he winds up being exiled and he dies on the run.
00:55:33.000
No. I mean, we talked about it a little bit yesterday, but I don't know anything groundbreaking.
00:55:43.000
That page on Instagram is called Real News, no bullshit.
00:55:48.000
I think it was like 2,000 pages or something, and they posted the key takeaways.
00:55:52.000
I read a little bit about it, but I kind of just was like...
00:55:54.000
It's kind of like confirmation that I was like, mafia, Israel, and the CIA.
00:55:59.000
Well, I read one thing that the CIA, within a week or two, had dismissed the idea of a single shooter.
00:56:07.000
They're like, no, it was more than one shooter.
00:56:19.000
So if you're involved in killing the president, you're not telling Mike down the hallway.
00:56:23.000
You have an enormous fucking office filled with thousands of employees.
00:56:27.000
It's not like everybody's saying, hey, get a meeting.
00:56:32.000
We're going to take him for a ride through Dallas and shoot him in the fucking head.
00:56:36.000
Did you hear that phone call from Lyndon B. Johnson to the wife?
00:56:48.000
He's like, how are you not going to say goodbye next time I see him?
00:56:50.000
I'm going to give you a slapping around Christmas.
00:56:55.000
Bro, I think everybody was fucking everybody back then.
00:57:05.000
I mean, everybody knew that Kennedy was fucking everybody.
00:57:27.000
Yeah, they said the brother, the pillow talk is what fucked her over.
00:57:34.000
And then John F. Kennedy was like, bro, what are you doing?
00:57:45.000
And if you're the president, that's the reason why the presidents wanted to fuck.
00:57:48.000
Despite rumors and speculation, no definitive proof of an affair.
00:57:58.000
You didn't see the documentary on Netflix, then.
00:58:04.000
The JFK stuff kind of just confirmed what kind of they label conspiracy theorists.
00:58:08.000
Like, yeah, we've said it was CIA, Mossad, mafia.
00:58:12.000
It's going to take a while for the nerds to really go through it and figure it out.
00:58:33.000
I was eating elk steaks watching Candace Owens on my fucking YouTube.
00:58:46.000
She's like, I can't believe I'm on Harvey Weinstein's side.
00:58:54.000
And then you listen to it and you're like, wait, what?
00:58:57.000
When they go through the actual affidavit, like what the girls accuse him for, you're like, what the fuck?
00:59:06.000
Like, there's all these, like, things that should have been, that should have, like, completely thrown out a lot of her claims.
00:59:14.000
Like she was talking about he made me like hold his balls or something like that.
00:59:18.000
His balls are like literally like inside of his thigh.
00:59:21.000
When he was like 30 years old, they had to get rid of him.
00:59:28.000
Oh, he's got this crazy disease where your dick is basically like rotting off.
00:59:33.000
Which is kind of crazy for a guy who's like obviously a sex addict.
00:59:36.000
Yeah. Your dick starts rotting away and then you still whip it out.
00:59:44.000
Prosecutors revealed to the jury that Weinstein underwent surgery in 99 for four years gangrene, which required doctors to remove some of his scrotum.
00:59:52.000
That surgery caused a pretty noticeable scarring because of an infection.
00:59:55.000
His testicles were actually taken from his scrotum and put into his inner thighs.
01:00:01.000
So you go through the reports and they're like, yeah, he made me suck on his balls.
01:00:13.000
And was going back and forth from rich guy to rich guy, trying to get things happening, and Harvey put her in a few things.
01:00:23.000
Whitney told me that he would make deals with ladies.
01:00:26.000
Like, look, suck my dick, I'll get you an Oscar.
01:00:32.000
And this was the thing, where everybody thanked him.
01:00:40.000
He gave him an Oscar award-winning role in a Miramax film, which is going to be a blockbuster film, which pretty much gets you real close.
01:00:48.000
And then there's the influence of it being a Harvey Weinstein movie.
01:00:51.000
He was the king at the time, and everybody followed his lead.
01:00:54.000
You have big movies like Pulp Fiction and those kind of films that Miramax produced.
01:01:03.000
Banger after banger when Harvey Weinstein was...
01:01:07.000
Yeah. I mean, it's just like the wildest movies from the wildest dude, you know, who is clearly a sex addict.
01:01:14.000
He's like, if you want to be a lead in Pulp Fiction, you're going to suck these balls in my thigh.
01:01:25.000
He just was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
01:01:27.000
If this happened in the 80s, they probably would have thrown it out.
01:01:29.000
But in the Me Too movement, it was a hot witch hunt.
01:01:33.000
There was a lot of people that got in deep shit for almost nothing.
01:01:35.000
Dude, look into the dude from that 70s show who's in prison for life.
01:01:46.000
And if you look at the appeal, it started off with, oh, he raped me and drugged me.
01:01:58.000
You've been following the Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively thing?
01:02:01.000
Talk about ruining your reputation and Ryan Reynolds.
01:02:10.000
This is what you get, trying to fucking ruin a guy's livelihood by using the Me Too movement?
01:02:15.000
Because they were trying to take over the movie.
01:02:17.000
Yeah. They were trying to take over the movie and the whole franchise.
01:02:22.000
And he's suing the New York Times, and he's got a great case there, too.
01:02:32.000
You need real motherfuckers to be like, nah, man, I ain't going out like this.
01:02:35.000
Yeah, especially a guy like that who's known as being this really sweet, nice guy.
01:02:45.000
How about she told him to come into the dressing room while she was breastfeeding?
01:02:50.000
And then part of the complaint was that he came into the dressing room while I was breastfeeding.
01:02:54.000
Like, you literally have a text exchange back and forth.
01:02:58.000
They just never thought that anybody was going to come out with the receipts.
01:03:00.000
Because no one's ever done it, because everyone just bows down.
01:03:16.000
Yeah, we've been talking about Harvey Weinstein's nuts and his thighs.
01:03:27.000
I'll wait for you to take piss so we're not all gone.
01:04:09.000
I know, but they make the Supersnake in it, which is why I bought it.
01:04:12.000
I would have bought a GT500, but there was one company that was doing a swap.
01:04:22.000
I was like, I don't want any Frankenstein cars.
01:05:01.000
You should see some of the shit people do with those cars, man.
01:05:14.000
I'm just sitting there like, bro, I want it all.
01:05:19.000
We're talking to three guys here that have real car problems.
01:05:22.000
At a budget, like they cleared me to buy something and I've never bid on anything.
01:05:43.000
In 12 minutes, he probably spent $7 million in cars and didn't give a fuck.
01:06:06.000
Look, I tackled my fucking manager right there.
01:06:11.000
I was so embarrassed when they told me I was on live TV.
01:06:23.000
Oh, I'm going to toss some King Shocks on that bitch.
01:06:28.000
I mean, the Jeeps look exactly like Jeeps, and they have like that for...
01:06:31.000
They look updated, but it's kind of like a 911.
01:06:36.000
They never change the body style, so they have this cult following.
01:06:38.000
You know what's the most Googled truck in the world?
01:06:44.000
Also, there's so much customization available for those things because they've been around for so long.
01:06:52.000
Have you ever seen the America's Most Wanted Jeeps?
01:07:01.000
Yeah. And they do up the suspension and map everything out perfect.
01:07:12.000
Y'all get some bullshit, like a four excursion on my helmet.
01:08:08.000
But you don't want people, you know, flipping you off and shit.
01:08:13.000
You don't have too much of a problem with that in Austin.
01:08:15.000
You know what's weird is, you know me, I can't stand electric cars, but now that the libs are like, I'm like, oh shit, I might get a Cybertruck.
01:08:28.000
I might get one and swap a diesel in it so it looks like it.
01:08:42.000
You've got to pay for the Cybertruck, and I'm going to have to pay for it.
01:08:52.000
You know, when people tell me that, I'm like, ah, you ever driven like a fucking water-cooled fucking, you know.
01:09:10.000
Even if it only has 250 horsepower, it's so fun.
01:09:21.000
It feels like you could die at any point, but then you look down and you're doing like 35 miles an hour.
01:09:26.000
My Hummer is not the fastest, but fuck, it's cool, man.
01:09:54.000
It's fast as shit, too, for a big-ass fucking truck.
01:10:02.000
You think they're going to start making less electric vehicles now that Trump's in?
01:10:11.000
Porsche Taycans, they sell them for like, you know, what is a Taycan Turbo S?
01:10:16.000
160? They sell them like a year later for like 70. Over 200.
01:10:26.000
Because nobody wants to buy a used electric car because the range drops off.
01:10:30.000
So like say if you buy a Corvette, you can buy a 2017 Corvette, like a ZR1.
01:10:46.000
A better comparison would be, think about your Ford GT, a 2006.
01:10:54.000
Right, but that's different because that's like a classic.
01:10:59.000
But a new car, say if you get a new AMG GT and it's a 2025, you sell it next year, you're not going to lose much money.
01:11:11.000
Like if you buy a Ferrari today and you sell it in a year and you got a thousand miles on it, you'll make money.
01:11:19.000
But if you have a fucking electric car, like Audis, those e-trons, those are sick.
01:11:26.000
A friend of mine got one of those and he got like a year old one for like 70 grand.
01:11:37.000
Why not just get like a new battery or something?
01:11:44.000
For the most part, you're not driving 250 miles.
01:11:47.000
If you have a plug at home, if you plug it in at home, you have a supercharger at your house, which I do for my car.
01:11:58.000
I think my car gets like 350 miles if you drive like a grandma.
01:12:03.000
For normal day-to-day, you just stick it in there and you never go to the gas station.
01:12:10.000
If you're road-tripping it, you've got to really map it out, especially if you don't have a Tesla, because then you have to find all these other rando super stations.
01:12:18.000
But like my Hummer, I have a 55-gallon diesel tank in the back.
01:12:21.000
I fill that bitch up maybe once every three weeks.
01:12:28.000
There's a few great options that aren't Teslas.
01:12:37.000
Yeah. That bitch shut down on us in the parking lot, but yeah, he has one.
01:12:43.000
I was like, oh, I'm going to break your car, dude.
01:12:45.000
And he's like, oh, out of all the times that this has never happened, it happens while you're in the car.
01:12:58.000
No, eventually he called and they're like, oh, just reset.
01:13:08.000
You're in the car and it's like you're surrounded by...
01:13:16.000
If you're not supposed to have your phone by your head...
01:13:19.000
Yeah. I mean, your whole car is a big-ass phone.
01:13:25.000
According to people like RFK Jr. and many other people, don't think that you should have ear pods in.
01:13:32.000
You should have the wired ones only, and even those are not the best thing to have.
01:13:37.000
You should just listen to things like on a Bluetooth speaker.
01:13:39.000
Also, the people vandalizing Teslas, that could be a worse car to vandalize because there's cameras fucking everywhere on that thing.
01:13:46.000
360. Bro, so many people are going to jail right now.
01:13:49.000
And if you don't have a Tesla, you don't really know that like...
01:13:52.000
If you're within 20 feet of the car, it's recording.
01:14:12.000
Grab his ass cheeks and just rubbed it all over.
01:14:15.000
That guy was looking for an excuse to rub shit on things.
01:14:17.000
He probably goes home and jerks off with his own shit.
01:14:30.000
They're like trailers, but like super high-tech.
01:14:45.000
The one that I've seen, I just saw it a couple days ago.
01:14:54.000
Yeah, they have Tesla solar panels for your roof.
01:15:21.000
Calen thought Conor McGregor was in the movie Popeye.
01:15:36.000
I mean, you could buy a house for 10 grand now.
01:15:38.000
If you're just like a single dude who has a plot of land, just park that house with solar.
01:15:43.000
You could literally live off the grid in a little bullshit house.
01:15:58.000
Those little tiny houses you could buy, like if you were just a dude living by yourself, and you're like, I don't need nothing.
01:16:07.000
Like somebody leaves you a little plot of land, you got a couple acres somewhere.
01:16:14.000
Sit on your front porch and say, fuck the world, I own this whole thing.
01:16:27.000
If you're a single guy, you need a bed, you need a TV, unless you're trying to get mad pussy.
01:16:32.000
If you're trying to get mad pussy, then you need a long driveway, lights everywhere, you need a fountain.
01:16:58.000
There's a bunch of videos from a few days ago that this is all nonsense.
01:17:05.000
That would be a dope podcast studio to put in the middle of nowhere.
01:17:10.000
I'm not going to say that that's necessarily fake, but it's not a house that someone could live in that's like a couch.
01:17:21.000
And it's like a little five-minute mini-documentary commercial.
01:17:31.000
Yeah, I've seen AI things with my own voice on them.
01:17:37.000
You know, speaking of fakery, when you had Mel Gibson on your podcast the other day...
01:17:48.000
The Shroud, it's like the cloth that Jesus was buried in and left an image of it.
01:17:54.000
And in the 80s, like 1988, they did carbon dating on it.
01:18:01.000
Yeah, it literally has the image of Jesus burned into it somehow or another.
01:18:08.000
But listening to you and Mel Gibson talk about it, I'm like, what?
01:18:12.000
Well, apparently it's a lot older than they assumed when they did the first testing.
01:18:18.000
And one of the problems is that there's cross-contamination.
01:18:23.000
But they did subsequent testing, and they found that it was like 2,000.
01:18:28.000
Yeah, and the one thing, it's the most studied artifact ever.
01:18:34.000
Like particle physicists, nuclear engineers, they all studied it, and some of them, some believe in it, some don't believe in it, but they all agree on one thing.
01:18:50.000
So, dude, all this week, dude, all day, I'm just watching documentary after podcast on this shit, and it's fucking mind-blowing.
01:18:59.000
If it turns out that they can't figure out how anyone could ever do it.
01:19:05.000
Like, if no one has come up with a theory of how to do that today, that's where it gets really interesting.
01:19:11.000
Because it wasn't paint, and it wasn't dye, and it wasn't burned in.
01:19:17.000
But then the skeptics say, just because we don't know how it was done doesn't make it real, which is a good point.
01:19:24.000
But then the other side's like, dude, all these scientists have no idea how they faked it.
01:19:45.000
It's insane because it's a negative image on a non-photographic material.
01:19:55.000
Like, if you look at it with the naked eye, it's white, and then you see the image of the face is kind of like yellow.
01:20:01.000
But in, like, 1898, some photographer took a picture of it, and then flipped, and then looked at the negative, and then all of a sudden, in the negative, the whole body appears, front and back.
01:20:15.000
He was buried with the sheet under him, and it went around his head.
01:20:21.000
Yeah, the right one's the back and the left one's the front.
01:20:36.000
I'm like, dude, the resurrection, that's a hard one to wrap your brain around, right?
01:20:44.000
But the resurrection was always the thing that kept me from really believing in Jesus.
01:20:48.000
I'm like, there's no way the resurrection was real.
01:20:51.000
But even if this is real, Eddie, it doesn't mean he was resurrected, right?
01:20:54.000
It just means he was crucified and he was an actual real man.
01:21:00.000
The people that believe that it's real believe that when he was resurrected, some kind of ultraviolet radiation, some kind of burst made that image.
01:21:10.000
Because that image has never been on any other shroud.
01:21:17.000
And the crazy thing is the blood, there's no image under the blood.
01:21:21.000
So the blood was there first, and then the image is after.
01:21:28.000
Dude, I'm like, I went deep down a rabbit all week just watching the skeptics, the scientists, particle physicists.
01:21:36.000
They have no idea how the fuck that image got on the front and back?
01:21:49.000
Apparently there's some structures underneath the pyramids they just found.
01:21:52.000
Yeah, we were talking about that the other day.
01:21:56.000
They don't know whether or not that's legit or whether these guys are jumping to conclusions.
01:21:59.000
A lot of people are calling bullshit and saying they jumped to conclusions.
01:22:02.000
A lot of people are saying that it really, you can't tell from those images, like what they drew in the 3D image where they drew everything and made a model of it.
01:22:23.000
And if these guys are correct that it goes down two kilometers, help me explain that.
01:22:41.000
Because there's a guy named Christopher Dunn that thinks that the entire Giza pyramid, the big one, the Great Pyramid, was a power plant.
01:22:48.000
And he has this whole schematic that he mapped out.
01:22:53.000
You would have something underneath the surface, underneath the ground, that was causing a vibration, a pounding.
01:23:00.000
And then this reverberation, this vibration would go through the entire building because it was all made out of limestone.
01:23:07.000
And then they had these channels, these paths, that they would fill with chemicals.
01:23:12.000
And they would go into what's called the king's chamber.
01:23:15.000
and this porous limestone that would allow the chemicals to leap through, to leach through and that would create hydrogen.
01:23:23.000
Dunn. But if you listen to his take on it, and he's an engineer, he explains why the pathways and everything, this is exactly how you would do it if it was some sort of a power plant.
01:23:33.000
But whatever it is, it's like, I don't think that it's a tomb.
01:23:42.000
I bet people used to be really smart, but the dumb people just outfucked the smart people.
01:23:50.000
Man, I mean, the pyramids, for sure, are a mystery.
01:23:56.000
And now, finding out what's underneath them, like, fuck, who knows?
01:24:01.000
There's all these mysterious architecture everywhere.
01:24:16.000
And they're talking about these insane cathedrals all over the world.
01:24:27.000
There's a few of them in India, but there's one that's all carved out of stone.
01:24:37.000
It's all insanely intricate and carved out of stone and fucking massive.
01:24:50.000
They might have just been bored as fuck, though.
01:24:56.000
Yeah. Yeah, hundreds of years, they don't have shit to do.
01:25:24.000
She's got a good grip on that shoulder cap, though.
01:25:34.000
Oh! But it wasn't good that she had her hand underneath the jaw that easily.
01:25:41.000
Whenever she fights, the crowd's just cheering and she's getting beat up.
01:25:56.000
Yeah, if that proves to be true and there really are these massive structures underneath the pyramid, they've got to change everything.
01:26:04.000
Dude, there's past civilizations that were super highly advanced.
01:26:09.000
You know what I have a hard time getting into, but every now and then I'll dive into it.
01:26:19.000
Well, I don't know about that because I think you need a lot more than giants to move those fucking stones.
01:26:23.000
You need some kind of crazy technology because giants don't explain the engineering.
01:26:27.000
It doesn't explain the precision that was involved.
01:26:30.000
Whatever they did, they were moving 80-ton stones from 500 miles away and through the mountains and there's no roads and no one knows how they did it.
01:26:40.000
Did your Instagram algorithm fuck you up with the...
01:26:47.000
Huge, 70-foot dudes carrying giant stones, like jacked, shredded.
01:26:53.000
There's a lot of reports throughout the ages of giant human beings.
01:27:02.000
Like a race of nine foot, ten feet tall people, and there's all these stories about bones that were giant bones that got transported to the Smithsonian, but they covered it up.
01:27:10.000
And I assume they don't live long because they're They're so big, so they probably just eventually fell off.
01:27:22.000
Now, imagine a foot taller than that guy jacked, but just a different kind of human being.
01:27:28.000
Bro. Have you heard of the little season that's in the Bible?
01:27:37.000
I asked you when you were leaving to get a Coke.
01:27:46.000
Your average Christian thinks tribulation is coming, right?
01:27:53.000
And then there's going to be a 1,000 year millennial where Jesus returns and rules for 1,000 years and all the resurrected apostles are going to be kings and they're going to rule this realm that we're in.
01:28:05.000
That's what the tribulation, Jesus returns, 1,000 year millennial.
01:28:10.000
And then after the 1,000 years, and then during those 1,000 years, There's a guy named Paul Stobbs I had on my podcast.
01:28:33.000
And then while those thousand years are going on, Satan is chained.
01:28:45.000
And then after the thousand years, this is called the little satanic season.
01:28:51.000
The little season where Jesus lets Satan go, and then Satan rules this earth, and he influences all the nations.
01:29:13.000
He came back in the apostles' lifetime and ruled.
01:29:16.000
They already did that, a thousand-year millennial.
01:29:26.000
Well, it seems like evil has always been a part of the human race.
01:29:29.000
There's always been people committing genocide.
01:29:33.000
There's always been people that justify murder for money.
01:29:51.000
There's a theory that it explains all these structures that were built by angels.
01:29:56.000
Well, you've got to wonder when you get back to that Zachariah Sitchin stuff.
01:30:00.000
Because one of the things about this whole Anunnaki thing was that they were giants.
01:30:04.000
Yes. And the big theories are that the giants bred with human beings, which probably means some sort of genetic engineering, like taking existing primates and turning them into human beings.
01:30:22.000
The idea that we're visited by an alien, an alien race, and this alien race is far superior, and that they used us as slaves to mine for gold.
01:31:11.000
Everybody I know, I'm like, there's a theory out there, and then I have no clue what I'm talking about.
01:31:20.000
This video is called The Little Season Theory Number One.
01:31:25.000
And the YouTube channel is Understanding Conspiracies, the little season theory number one.
01:31:30.000
He has no idea what he's talking about, though, too.
01:31:41.000
I'm not going to be able to thoroughly explain every single nuance today in, like, two hours.
01:31:48.000
What I'll try my best to do in this talk is give...
01:31:51.000
A foundational overview of most of the talking points involved around this theory, and it's a working theory.
01:31:59.000
There's multiple options for certain sections of this theory where it could have gone, so I'll try my best to relay as much as I can.
01:32:06.000
But the basic premise to work off here is that what most modern Christians are waiting for today is the return of Jesus Christ after the Tribulation.
01:32:19.000
We're trying to discern the signs around us, trying to determine who the Antichrist will be, what the mark of the beast will be, all of those things.
01:32:28.000
We're kind of looking for them and waiting for those signs to happen, which will be the signs of the coming of the Son of Man in the clouds, which will be tribulation, judgment, and then, obviously, a millennial reign is what people are waiting for, and people get to live.
01:32:44.000
With Christ for a thousand years, as it says in Revelation 20. So people are pretty adamant we're living in that time.
01:32:51.000
We're living in the time just before tribulation.
01:32:57.000
That's what people are pretty adamant where we're at.
01:32:59.000
That's the mainstream thought of not only conspiracy Christians, but just mainstream churchianity.
01:33:08.000
There have always been other views out there which say, you know, well, you know, it's a spiritual kingdom and we're living in it now, you know, and that goes on forever and ever and there's no physical kingdom and all these type of things.
01:33:19.000
You have amillennialists who believe that type of thing.
01:33:23.000
What this theory says kind of blows it all out of the water.
01:33:29.000
There has been a worldview called praetorism which was created a while ago in the 1600s by...
01:33:39.000
It may have been a Jesuit, but this theory we have today is not praetorism, classically so-called.
01:33:48.000
And a lot of people who don't like this idea will attack praetorism and think that's what we're talking about.
01:33:56.000
Most praetorists, even they believe it's a spiritual kingdom.
01:34:02.000
We're talking about a real, physical, tangible thousand years where Christ reigned on earth.
01:34:10.000
We're not living in the times just before tribulation.
01:34:13.000
We're living after the thousand year reign of Christ.
01:34:19.000
He has reigned for a thousand years on earth with his resurrected saints and the elect who survived through tribulation.
01:34:28.000
Doesn't it make sense that Christians would document that?
01:34:35.000
If there was a record and we knew, then this wouldn't be a test.
01:34:39.000
There wouldn't be a reason for the little season.
01:34:52.000
And he's got a chain, like a shackle around his ankle with a broken chain.
01:35:04.000
And it's got a fucking shackle around its ankle with a broken chain.
01:35:12.000
Statue of Liberty has a shackle around a tackle?
01:36:16.000
That is going to be still framed somewhere on that.
01:36:25.000
I'll put conveniently crop the image to make a false point.
01:36:40.000
They didn't just create it out of thin air usually, too.
01:36:51.000
Yeah, it's a dude's hand, a dude's arm, a dude's face.
01:36:56.000
Yeah. Statue of Liberty doesn't look like a guy.
01:37:10.000
Did they give her some implants later in the day?
01:37:16.000
Did they get under the copper and heat it up and push it out a little bit?
01:37:21.000
That thing does look trans now that we look at it.
01:37:34.000
Well, that right one looks like a little bit of a tit.
01:38:02.000
And then the lady who's a White House press secretary is like...
01:38:06.000
You guys would be speaking German if it wasn't for the United States.
01:38:14.000
But we needed France to beat them in World War I. That's a fact, too.
01:38:18.000
France lost, like, some insane percentage of their population in World War I. I think they lost 25% of their male population, their 18 to 25, or 18 to 30 male population in World War I, and another 25% in World War II.
01:38:45.000
Just the amount of people that got starved by Stalin.
01:38:49.000
France provided crucial aid to the American colonists during the Revolutionary War, including military support, financial assistance, and naval power, ultimately contributing significantly to American victory and independence.
01:39:08.000
Canada needs to get their shit together, though.
01:39:09.000
Yeah, they have terrible government, but the Canadian people are awesome.
01:39:17.000
And when they have a vote, then that Pierre Polivet guy...
01:39:20.000
Is he one of Fidel Castro's sons, too, or what?
01:39:27.000
With them, they get to decide when there's going to be a vote.
01:39:39.000
And they just keep losing rights left and right.
01:39:42.000
I mean, what they did during the whole trucker convoy thing was nuts.
01:39:53.000
Well, there's people that lost their bank account that only donated to the truckers.
01:39:59.000
That was kind of the start of, like, them stopping all the crazy shit.
01:40:07.000
Yeah. Once the truckers did that and they started shutting bank accounts down.
01:40:11.000
Across all of North America, they were like, okay, maybe we should kind of take it easy.
01:40:19.000
A lot of dudes who woke the fuck up because of that.
01:40:29.000
But it's easy to kind of get them thinking, this is the right thing to do.
01:40:44.000
Apparently, if you do DMT and you shoot a red laser, I sent Jamie a video.
01:40:56.000
Really? Not only that, but if you get above the laser and you look down, you see layers of code.
01:41:04.000
Chase Hughes, I just saw a video of him saying he saw it too.
01:41:13.000
Yeah, he's a mind control expert that explains psyops and how they...
01:41:17.000
I've seen it on Instagram and I heard you and Danny talking about it, so you've done it.
01:41:26.000
Like, break this down for people because it got shared amongst my group.
01:41:34.000
Exactly. And that's the only question you're still going to have after you see it.
01:41:47.000
It's like it's literally they kind of written out static.
01:41:51.000
I can move the laser up and down and see all of the letters.
01:41:56.000
But it's like three-dimensional, so I can get close to the wall.
01:42:00.000
I can look down inside of the laser that way, and I can look up in the laser that way.
01:42:14.000
It's a universal consciousness that we're projecting.
01:42:22.000
Really? I don't know him personally, but Brandon McCaffron, one of my black belts, he knows him personally.
01:42:26.000
He goes, dude, if you ever wanted to do your podcast, I could make, you know, I'm like, hell yeah.
01:42:33.000
That was seeing the Matrix when you're on DMT with a red laser.
01:42:48.000
I don't know, but there's video of a bunch of people.
01:42:58.000
He seemed to have a little more intelligence a little bit.
01:43:15.000
You saw that Tom Campbell interview that I did, right?
01:43:22.000
When he's explaining to you that consciousness creates reality.
01:43:26.000
I never really took the simulation theory seriously, but...
01:43:31.000
You know, I've always believed, like, Jesus is a new thing for me.
01:43:35.000
Like, the Shroud of Turin, I'm all in now with the Shroud of Turin.
01:43:39.000
But before that, I was like, I don't know about Jesus, maybe, but I believe in God, and I believe in a creator.
01:43:47.000
Right? And there must be code on how God created this.
01:43:52.000
Yeah. So that, you know, I think science, like the simulation guys, they're finding what God created.
01:44:06.000
You know, AI is about to become sentient, and then they're going to do quantum computers with AI.
01:44:13.000
What if Jesus re-emerges as a created consciousness?
01:44:21.000
By that time, he'd probably be able to communicate to your fucking head.
01:44:26.000
I mean, they've already figured out how to put signals into people's heads, put voices in people's heads.
01:44:32.000
They can literally have things say things to you, or you hear voices in your head.
01:44:40.000
And if quantum computing gets attached to AI, and then it figures out how to make better versions of itself, what does that mean?
01:44:47.000
But isn't that similar to MKUltra, what we're doing to compromise people?
01:44:53.000
Because MKUltra, they were just trying to manipulate people with acid and they were doing all sorts of different psychedelic drugs and doing it on people without them knowing.
01:45:03.000
But also trying to get them to manipulate them so they can get them to do things like try to kill the president or something like that.
01:45:13.000
And I guarantee, if you could, if there is a conspiracy theory about that kid in Pennsylvania that tried to kill Trump, oh, went to the ground.
01:45:26.000
Kevin is a black belt, but not Gunner Nelson black belt.
01:45:30.000
Yeah. If he can get you scrambling on the ground, Kevin's in trouble.
01:45:34.000
Dude. Damn, if he opens his legs, he's got to put a grip together around that arm, right there.
01:45:50.000
All he had to do was just grip, S-grip, under the armpit, and that was a wrap.
01:46:30.000
He was so good when he was at the top of his game.
01:46:35.000
Yeah, considered one of the best jiu-jitsu players.
01:46:42.000
Yeah, MMA-wise, he just never got over that hill like the top contenders.
01:46:48.000
And his striking is just not the same level as the elite guys.
01:46:52.000
Although he does have a good style, that sort of karate.
01:47:09.000
Remember, he was part of Conor's camp for a while there.
01:47:27.000
He said he rolled with Gunnar, and he couldn't understand it.
01:47:30.000
He was like, I understand Gorn because he's so big.
01:47:48.000
You know who's competing in jiu-jitsu now is that guy Martins.
01:47:57.000
And he wrestled in high school, so he was a little bit more with it.
01:48:07.000
Imagine if Brian Shaw started getting into jiu-jitsu.
01:48:20.000
I was like, I'm not touching either one of you.
01:49:13.000
The thing is, like, he's so much better at 70. I know he doesn't like the weight cut, but it's 70. He's so much better at 70. He's so tall and long and dangerous.
01:49:20.000
Remember, he beat Homeboy, who did the spinning back.
01:49:40.000
Yeah. I was so impressed with what that guy did to Holland.
01:49:51.000
Yeah. Gunnar looks like he's still in a little bit of trouble.
01:49:53.000
Yeah, RDR was a two-division champion at one championship.
01:49:57.000
If Bo Nickel gives this bad striking, I'm gonna freak the fuck out.
01:50:01.000
Kevin Holland's fought seven times since Gunnar Nelson's last fight.
01:50:20.000
If Gunnar lost, I don't know if he got submitted.
01:50:26.000
Gunnar is not able to take Kevin down this round.
01:50:34.000
And also, you've got to think, Kevin Holland's hungry right now.
01:50:44.000
He could do it at 70. He's just got to be super focused and stay at 70. This hopping up and down and getting losses at 85 against DeRitter's like 220.
01:50:55.000
But also being that active, it's tough to compete with the biggest guys.
01:51:07.000
That was when Nate Diaz and him were supposed to fight, but Hamzat came in eight pounds heavy, and Kevin Holland stepped up and said, I'll take it.
01:51:16.000
And Kevin was supposed to fight D-Rod, remember?
01:51:23.000
Gunners are trying real hard for this takedown, man.
01:51:31.000
If he would have kept stepping inside, he would have done it if he cut a circle a little bit better.
01:51:38.000
You know, two plus minutes into the second and got beat up at the end of the first, which takes a lot out of you.
01:51:52.000
You think about perceived skills versus current level after a guy gets rocked.
01:51:57.000
You know, you think he's still the same guy that he was early in the fight, but when you get rocked, man.
01:52:06.000
Like, he clipped him and then, like, immediately passed his guard and finished him.
01:52:24.000
Bro, I saw a good breakdown of Ankalaev's stand-up against Pereira.
01:52:33.000
He's doing this circular motion with his hand and taking away angles.
01:52:54.000
But he's smart, too, because he's 36, 37. He's like, I gotta go, man.
01:53:00.000
He's become an all-time great in, you know, three years, which is crazy.
01:53:07.000
That's hard to say because Gunnar had him down for a while.
01:53:28.000
I feel like Oliveira almost had him a couple times.
01:53:35.000
If it's cinched up, if you have something cinched up...
01:53:44.000
That's five rounds, Charles probably wins that.
01:53:56.000
You don't get credit like you do if you rock a guy.
01:54:01.000
But to that same point, like with Alex Pierre defending 12 takedowns.
01:54:21.000
I don't think you should get credit for defense.
01:54:30.000
Can you imagine you get points for escaping an arm bar?
01:54:37.000
Because Kevin was doing a lot of damage at the end of the first, but a lot of it was on the back.
01:54:46.000
After unsuccessfully taking him down for like three minutes, and he's doing something.
01:55:08.000
But it's not as good as like a guy rocking you.
01:55:14.000
I feel like the whole scoring system is fucked.
01:55:28.000
When a guy gets dropped, it's automatically a 10-8.
01:55:36.000
But then you've got fights where a guy gets dropped and gets up and drops the other guy.
01:55:45.000
I think they need a more comprehensive scoring system.
01:55:48.000
I think the whole 10-9 is crazy because we just took it from boxing.
01:55:51.000
And we're like, okay, that's an established point system for fighting.
01:55:55.000
But you're using it with something that has all these different elements.
01:56:05.000
And you've got to look at the people scoring it.
01:56:06.000
These judges, half of them don't know what the fuck they're looking at.
01:56:18.000
Next day, EBI 23, the featherweights with strikes.
01:56:35.000
Punch. Not punch, strike, open hand, everywhere.
01:57:32.000
He rushed in the back take in the first round, though.
01:57:39.000
The fact that he's not digging for underhooks right now is kind of scary.
01:57:43.000
Well, he should have took his feet off the cage.
01:57:44.000
Like, why won't you immediately go for the underhook?
01:57:52.000
Underhooks had at least take his feet off the cage.
01:57:55.000
You're not supposed to dig your toes in the face.
01:57:58.000
Gordon, if you were in the mount right there, you would immediately grab the underhook and underjack to like an arm triangle, right?
01:58:05.000
Well, the first thing is to circle his feet off the cage.
01:58:07.000
You're saying circle him to the center of the octagon?
01:58:10.000
Yes. Because the bridge off the cage gives you immensely...
01:58:14.000
Correct. Totally, but besides that, underhook, underjack, arm triangle, right?
01:58:33.000
That was the first time we saw an effective upkick.
01:58:51.000
He's got to get his right knee across to Kevin's left hip.
01:58:55.000
He's got to get his left knee across to his left hip.
01:58:58.000
Can he not apply enough pressure in half guard?
01:59:07.000
Why he's not passing the guard here, I'm not sure.
01:59:10.000
It's also hard for him to dismount from here because the cage is in the way.
01:59:17.000
Okay, so now he's gonna try to either mount him or move the side control.
01:59:30.000
He's just waiting till Kevin catches his breath.
01:59:41.000
Gunnar should have switched back to a tight waist when Kevin went to roll out.
01:59:45.000
He should break free here and start teeing off on him.
01:59:54.000
Like, all arm triangles, in my opinion, should be in the mount.
01:59:57.000
Once you start going side control, there's too many escapes.
02:00:01.000
Well, you should have at least set it better for mount.
02:00:39.000
And he had times to disengage, and he's got an advantage in the striking.
02:00:45.000
But also, like, so exhausted at this point in the fight.
02:01:07.000
So, 10-9, 10-9, Gunner, but then 10-8 in the first round?
02:01:58.000
Oh, are you looking at ESPN Plus' different commercials?
02:02:08.000
So there's different commercials depending on where you look?
02:02:36.000
Yeah, Gordon has a good point with all the control Gunnar had with these judges.
02:03:08.000
He did all the damage, even though Gunnar had control of him.
02:03:24.000
I mean, Kevin looked surprised when they announced him.
02:03:38.000
Yeah, he's saying I knew it could go either way.
02:03:47.000
How about a rematch with him and Joaquin Buckley at 170?
02:03:52.000
Is Joaquin Buckley the guy that did that crazy kick?
02:04:15.000
Defend the takedown and just beat the shit out of him.
02:04:32.000
He's super motivated, amazing genetics, super explosive and fast, very disciplined, gets better every fight, crazy cardio at 170.
02:04:44.000
That muscle-bound, but it's his work ethic, man.
02:04:54.000
It's this whole thing, talking about his life, what he needs, taking care of his grandmother.
02:05:25.000
Like 80%, 85% of UFC fighters aren't ready for the high, high level leg locks, right?
02:05:34.000
That's how Brian Hall came in and he would just leg lock dudes.
02:05:42.000
They're not focused on jujitsu at the high level.
02:05:46.000
But see, Ryan Hall ripped through some people with leg locks.
02:05:54.000
Topuria. That was the first guy like, oh shit, this guy knows how to defend leg locks.
02:06:11.000
Maybe it was like Balance Studios or something.
02:06:16.000
Sometimes you're going to run into guys that you cannot leg lock, and when it's all greasy...
02:06:21.000
But also, you get to a certain level where guys can stop your game at leg lots, and if you don't have striking, you get exposed.
02:06:45.000
I know he's turned down a lot of match-ups, too.
02:06:52.000
He's still under contract, but I know he's turned down a bunch of fights.
02:07:09.000
Some procedures need to be redone due to complications.
02:07:17.000
21 general anesthesia surgeries since that fight.
02:07:27.000
So at 21 general anesthesia surgeries, I got fallen on, tore my ACL, had to fix a plantar plate, got fallen on again, had to have a tightrope surgery on that one that Pat Mahomes and a couple other people have had.
02:07:45.000
Tightrope was actually allergic to the hardware they put in me somewhere, somehow.
02:07:51.000
It's been interesting, but back on the end of it.
02:08:11.000
I mean, I've been injured a lot, but just one surgery.
02:08:16.000
No. Eddie broke my ankles a bunch of times, but that was when I competed against Joao Rocha.
02:08:21.000
I was going for a leg lock entry, and he was like 270.
02:08:28.000
He just disappeared one day, and then apparently he was training pretty recently at Henzo's and Unity.
02:08:35.000
But he just stopped training jiu-jitsu forever, got a real job, I think.
02:08:44.000
I was standing over him as he ripped through everybody with leg locks.
02:08:55.000
And then you hear from his training partners that, man, he went hard, right, in the training room?
02:09:04.000
Yeah. It's weird when guys get that good and just stop.
02:09:09.000
After he retired, he still put out a couple videos, little short instructionals on Instagram, and this one he put out for the Z-Lock.
02:09:21.000
In my opinion, the Z-Lock, the one he showed, that's the best one.
02:09:25.000
It's not a sad story if you want to do something cool.
02:09:28.000
It's kind of dope that he's like, fuck it, I'm over it.
02:09:37.000
You're going to teach your students just one leg lock entry and one heel hook.
02:09:48.000
No, like they say they got the breaking mechanics down, and just where the leg's going to be.
02:09:53.000
Which leg entanglement are you going to choose?
02:10:10.000
Right when you go, because I hear from Backside 50-50 coming in from K-Guard, right?
02:10:15.000
Yeah. I hear, like, from my guys, I'm not like the biggest leg locker, but I pay attention to my guys, and they're saying that the entry into backside 50-50 is awesome, but you don't really generally get the tap there.
02:10:28.000
There's going to be some kind of scramble and some kind of spin.
02:10:32.000
If you trap the far leg, the secondary leg, then you can get finishes belly down with it, which is why it's a good position.
02:10:37.000
But a good guy is always going to limp leg and strip the grip, which is why I believe that probably the best position...
02:10:46.000
In terms of not having the guy come forward and crush you or hit you.
02:10:50.000
And strong, catastrophic breaking mechanics is probably Cross Ashigurami, your guys' honey hole.
02:10:59.000
Yeah. So you feed the one leg across, the legs are split, so you have an Achilles lock here, and then you dig for the heel, and then you go in and lock up.
02:11:07.000
But my highest percentage finish is that position, but with the leg fed on the outside for the outside heel hook.
02:11:18.000
Yeah, because Z-Lock is basically double trouble with the outside heel hook.
02:11:21.000
Correct. And instead of triangling your legs, stomping on the inside.
02:11:32.000
And that right there, just the straight ankle lock is the most powerful straight ankle lock from that position right there with it on the outside.
02:11:46.000
Aokis are a lot like Dead Orchards, where the first time I seen Aoki, it's from Shinya Aoki, it seemed like he was going for just a straight ankle lock, but dude, I forget his opponent was, but his foot almost slipped out, so it looked like a straight ankle lock that he almost pulled his foot out, but it got caught and twisted.
02:12:06.000
Yeah, and everyone thought, maybe not everyone, but I thought, oh, that's one of those freak things.
02:12:12.000
You don't actually plan for it or set up for it.
02:12:18.000
Sometimes, like an omoplata, sometimes when they try to pull out their omoplata, it gets caught and they tap an armbar.
02:12:28.000
They try to get out, but it got caught, and then they tap.
02:12:35.000
It seems like the Aoki is top two leg lock finishes.
02:12:41.000
It's just people get, because it's so good to counter with them, correct?
02:12:48.000
It's an ankle lock, but when they slip their...
02:12:51.000
Their heel out, it's like you're going for an ankle lock and they almost pull out their leg, and then it turns into a heel hook.
02:12:59.000
Huge. It's like the most powerful shit right now.
02:13:00.000
It's not mechanically as strong as a heel hook, though, because when you go for heel hooks, you're physically bridging your hip into the knee.
02:13:06.000
Yeah. Whereas with Aoki's, the knee is turned out, so you're not bridging into the knee in a way to break it.
02:13:11.000
Yeah. Whereas with an inverted heel hook, for example, you have a good, strong connection.
02:13:19.000
You have a good strong connection, but when you go to bridge, you see how he's not bridging into the hip?
02:13:25.000
Yeah. So with a heel hook, you're bridging directly into the hip.
02:13:28.000
So it's the full extension of your body into the knee, so the upper leg is pinned through the leg position, and then your gripping position is what's manipulating the foot.
02:13:38.000
And scroll down a little bit, Jamie, and look at the guy, that one on the right, the one you had, the big one on the right.
02:13:48.000
The dude doing the Aoki lock, his right leg the way, I think people are calling that a shadow hook or whatever, Silverado, he's a catch wrestler, Brazilian catch wrestler, showed me that when I was a white belt.
02:14:10.000
Strong! Like Helena Cravar is doing this exact thing.
02:14:20.000
This is a great position because with the guy who's attacking his right leg, usually the guy's trying to peel it off the hip.
02:14:27.000
Yeah. So when you peel it off the hip, that butterfly hook comes in, and then normally you would throw that left leg.
02:14:38.000
And dude putting his right leg there, if he put it, traditionally you'd put it on the hip, you could get countered with an Aoki.
02:14:46.000
Like a regular Ashi, everyone's like, I got guys that just let dudes put them in Ashi so they could take that foot.
02:14:54.000
And also because the right foot is on the inside position, it makes it harder for the guy in defense, the defensive guy, to push forward into you.
02:15:04.000
Because the Aoki, you have to push into the lock, put your foot deeper to boot it.
02:15:10.000
The butterfly actually stops you from pushing the foot in deeper.
02:15:13.000
I think the first guy to really, really master it was the Polish guy.
02:15:34.000
I've never trained with him, but apparently he was like...
02:15:39.000
Exactly. And he was doing his legs just like that.
02:15:50.000
Well, it's difficult because the butterfly hook doesn't allow you to stack.
02:15:53.000
He doesn't allow you to come forward and push your foot deeper.
02:15:55.000
I'd never forget Silverado showing me that as a wipeout.
02:16:07.000
I got into toeholds as a white belt because Ken Shamrock had this instructional where he's in jeans and no shirt.
02:16:20.000
And he's going over toeholds, like standing over a guy's guard and grabbing the foot and doing a toehold.
02:16:26.000
And I'm like, whoa, what is he doing with the foot?
02:16:32.000
I've taken down one person my whole life, and that was in wrestling.
02:16:56.000
I got in a couple street fights here and there.
02:17:02.000
But every now and then I wrestled and I never looked at wrestling.
02:17:05.000
As a martial art, I looked at his pussy fighting.
02:17:10.000
I don't have a reputation to uphold, but if anybody fucks with me, I'm going to double-leg him and just hold him until the principal breaks us up.
02:17:18.000
I was like, dude, I was grounding and pounding in ninth grade.
02:17:25.000
He was talking a lot of shit, and I go, dude, he'll probably kick my ass, but he can't stop my takedown because this dude don't wrestle, so I'd take him down, and I would just get side control and barely punch his stomach.
02:17:39.000
And then when I saw Hoist fighting UFC 2, I'm like, you can fight on the ground and not be a pussy?
02:17:47.000
I thought fighting on the ground was pussy fighting.
02:18:02.000
I thought it was going to be at 1, and I got to get out of here like in 10 minutes.
02:18:20.000
Bohobich is 42, but it's a Polish 42. That's different genetics, bro.
02:18:27.000
So if you're a Polish 42, are you older or are you younger?
02:18:32.000
Those shoulders are every bit of 42. Yeah, well, we'll see.
02:18:52.000
It's also just such a big jump up in talent for Oberg.
02:18:57.000
He beat Ozdemir, but before that he really hadn't fought anybody.
02:19:04.000
And a guy who's real determined to get back to the belt.
02:19:07.000
You've got to realize he had a draw with Ankulaev, almost won the title there.
02:19:26.000
Yes. Well, he's always the guy that people forget about in this division.
02:19:33.000
And he would be a logical guy to fight next after Antlaev and Pereira.
02:19:47.000
I mean, that power's the last thing to go, and Jan's got ridiculous power.
02:19:57.000
He like rapped to him after he was already down, like with a running start.
02:20:02.000
You remember when he kicked Dominic Reyes in the body?
02:20:16.000
He does, but Bohovic has a massive experience advantage.
02:20:26.000
Remember when he went shin-to-shin with Ankoliov?
02:20:30.000
He's like, let's see who's got the harder shins.
02:20:33.000
Him and Ankoliov are just tough fucking humans, man.
02:20:40.000
I mean, Yuri would be the champion if it wasn't for Alex.
02:20:52.000
Yeah. Uncle I beat him in a decision in his last fight.
02:21:01.000
He doesn't look like he's 42. He looks like a legit contender.
02:21:08.000
It's just so much experience, you know, and he's so good at pacing himself and staying calm.
02:21:16.000
That's true, but that Olberg's first fight was three rounds as well, you know, the Kennedy fight.
02:21:49.000
I bought that Jeep yesterday, and the lady goes, oh, my cousin fights in the UFC.
02:22:11.000
Ooh. Jan's winning the Battle of the Low Kicks.
02:22:26.000
Nothing's tastier than that Miami card coming up, though.
02:22:33.000
Ooh. I swear to God, if I have problems with ESPN +, I'm going to lose my shit.
02:23:25.000
Bro, I love when I run to Eddie at the baseball fields because he's a vet.
02:23:31.000
He's been doing it two years, but he's been in it for a thick...
02:23:34.000
Backpack, water, just the whole tent, the seat.
02:23:39.000
Yeah, we always run to each other at the baseball fields.
02:23:45.000
Yeah, my kiddos met him for the first time, like two weeks ago.
02:24:08.000
You see, Bare Knuckle Fighting is going to have hockey fights.
02:24:23.000
Bro, you know they offered me and Brian to fight each other in car jiu-jitsu?
02:24:33.000
They go, it'd be really fun for you and Brendan to do car jiu-jitsu.
02:24:40.000
And the guy goes, yeah, would you guys be down to it?
02:24:43.000
He's like, I'm not gonna fucking go and chop and guard shit to you.
02:24:48.000
You're 100 pounds bigger than him and a black belt.
02:24:51.000
Brian's like, you know what the fuck you do to me with a seatbelt?
02:25:16.000
We'll get a better round from Olberg here because, you know, it's new to him.
02:25:50.000
Those leg kicks are going to be a problem if you don't start checking them.
02:26:03.000
But Izzy also tried to do 205 with no weight gain.
02:26:14.000
But if they would have gave, like, I mean, Grant, do you want to fight for the title?
02:26:17.000
If they would have given, like, Yuri or someone, that'd be a funner matchup.
02:27:05.000
Feinted the takedown, went right to the collar.
02:27:12.000
Here's a little light around his feet this round.
02:27:29.000
When Yon's leg kicks, it's fucking doing damage.
02:27:41.000
Well, Jan, you know, had a Muay Thai career before MMA.
02:28:02.000
I'm saying before he got to the UFC, you look at his background.
02:28:06.000
And even that fight, he was winning that fight.
02:28:10.000
And got wrapped up with like, I think it was like two seconds to go or something crazy like that.
02:28:18.000
Because you know he can hang in for one second.
02:28:40.000
And that's just Anderson coming in with a broken rib.
02:28:48.000
Olberg definitely seems like he's landing more this round.
02:29:04.000
Jan's just having a hard time closing the distance.
02:29:10.000
Damn, it's been, besides that girl fight against Molly, it's been all decisions again.
02:29:19.000
Yeah. There's a certain skill gap you can't bridge.
02:29:28.000
Yeah, not enough hours in the day, not enough time in your life.
02:29:32.000
Yeah. I don't know how old she is, but she's in her 30s for sure.
02:29:39.000
Jalen Turner was crazy because he said when he beat up Bobby Green after that, he lost his appetite for fighting.
02:29:58.000
So to put it on your friend like that, and then all the unnecessary punches, the referee should have stopped that fight quite a bit.
02:30:09.000
I don't remember who reffed that fight, but that was a bad one.
02:30:18.000
Yeah, Bobby hasn't won a fight since he changed his name to King.
02:30:43.000
And that style, cardio-wise, in the third round, you're so explosive, you just can't run at that high gear for three rounds.
02:30:52.000
It's not a good style for longevity, unless you're real sparing with your attacks.
02:30:59.000
So if a guy mauls you and just comes at you with a lot of combinations and hits you with a pace, it's hard.
02:31:09.000
And obviously, that weight class is filled with talent.
02:31:14.000
I was discussing one guy, I won't say who it is, he's coming back to the UFC and his buddy's like, he's like, man, what matchup do you think?
02:31:21.000
He's like, we just need to give him an easy matchup for his first one.
02:31:30.000
There was guys like, thank God they gave me him.
02:31:33.000
With the Contender Series, it's just full of these young fucking lions that you've never heard of.
02:31:39.000
Yeah, the guys that have zero fights in the UFC are super fucking dangerous.
02:31:43.000
Zero fights and they come in at a world-class level.
02:31:50.000
Yeah. There's so many Dagestan guys that are coming in and they're like, good lord, they're so dangerous.
02:32:08.000
And Jan hasn't landed any big shots to the head, like the big one that's going to really change the course of the fight.
02:32:16.000
But he's just dealing with a very tall, fast dude.
02:32:24.000
The division in the state it's in, it's tough, man.
02:32:31.000
It's like Alec Woganowski, before he lost those two, he was like, there's arguing he's the pound-for-pound number one.
02:32:40.000
And then three months later, he's not even on the list.
02:32:43.000
Yep. Before he lost to Bilal, was, I think, number five pound-for-pound.
02:32:49.000
Crazy. He loses this one, you're kind of fucked.
02:33:41.000
It's just Jan is having a hard time connecting.
02:33:47.000
Olberg's done such a much better job of pacing himself now.
02:33:55.000
It's fucking tough to take two years off, then you jump in with a killer as ranked number six, man.
02:34:04.000
It's like Gutter Nelson taking two years off and jumping back in.
02:34:20.000
Yes, this card has the potential to be, you know, if you're looking for knockouts, this might not be the card for you.
02:34:34.000
It's going to be interesting to see how he fares on the feet because Leon's such a technician on the feet.
02:34:41.000
But he's also going to be super wary about the takedown.
02:34:43.000
But he's been trying to take people down to kind of like prove a point, like he did with Kamaru.
02:34:48.000
Yeah. I hope he doesn't try to do that with Sean.
02:34:54.000
And Brady just, it's just like in the fifth round, you look at that Gilbert fight, it's like he had more takedowns in the fifth round.
02:35:10.000
Olberg ain't getting a title shot after this one, though.
02:35:19.000
He just hasn't done anything, like, real spectacular.
02:35:23.000
Olberg was aware of Roundtree and Jamal Hill would be fun.
02:35:55.000
Yeah, I think Oberg probably got that decision.
02:35:59.000
I'm very interested to see how Sean deals with the stand-up.
02:36:03.000
You know, because Sean's stand-up has come a long way.
02:36:09.000
But then there's a big difference on the feet, too, right?
02:36:14.000
Right. Well, if Sean can get him down early, like Bilal did, it would be a big thing.
02:36:20.000
And Bilal set the blueprint, constant pressure.
02:36:23.000
But I do think you have to take into consideration the fact that that was a 5 a.m. fight, which is just nuts.
02:36:34.000
Everybody in the audience has been drunk since 2 in the morning.
02:36:50.000
I can't imagine going to see a fight that the main event starts at 5 in the morning.
02:36:55.000
I think the main event was like 6 in the morning.
02:37:06.000
Yeah. But still, have a pay-per-view at 3 in the afternoon.
02:37:16.000
True. Why wouldn't they watch a big fight during the day?
02:37:34.000
Yep. Yeah, it's going to get dicey for you on now.
02:37:50.000
The UFC, there's not much they can do for you anymore.
02:37:52.000
That's what's crazy, because boxing, I think, has it right.
02:37:54.000
When a guy hasn't been fighting for a while, give him some fucking...
02:37:57.000
Shake off the dust, give him a guy you don't know.
02:38:06.000
Yeah, and they don't have managers that set their fighter up for victory either.
02:38:10.000
Like on the undercards, now you're going to face a brawler, now you're going to face a short guy, now you're going to face a tall guy.
02:38:19.000
By the time a guy gets to a championship level in boxing, they've been tried and tested.
02:38:29.000
Did you see the Lamont Roach-Gervonta Davis fight?
02:38:41.000
And Gervonta was like, I had something in my eye.
02:38:48.000
And they didn't have the replay ready, so they didn't look at the replay.
02:38:58.000
Perhaps. Or, you know, can't change the tiger stripes.
02:39:19.000
The top dogs aren't going to eat like they are now with $40, $50 million paydays.
02:39:23.000
But the middle guys that can grow boxing, that's what it's going to do.
02:39:27.000
Right, but if you want to get the top guys, you're going to have to pay them.
02:39:30.000
Correct. On that pay structure, you ain't getting any of the big fish.
02:39:34.000
Obviously, they got Canelo to get away from the Jake Paul fight, right?
02:39:38.000
Canelo was going to fight Jake Paul, which would have been crazy.
02:39:45.000
Turkey came along and said, listen, open up the fucking case from Pulp Fiction.
02:40:00.000
We get the fights you want to see, but that's also, you know...
02:40:04.000
The fights you want to see is what's most important for the fans, and they're putting shit together.
02:40:11.000
There's a lot of fights that people didn't want.
02:40:14.000
Which is like Jared Anderson, that was another example.
02:40:29.000
And then Bacoli getting stopped by Joseph Parker, coming in fat with no notice at all.
02:40:34.000
Nothing. It looked like he was totally out of shape.
02:40:49.000
But Joseph Parker looks really fucking good right now, too.
02:41:18.000
Put on all the steroids, every steroid they have.
02:41:23.000
Oh, by the way, Rollo reached out to me, John Rollo, my boy, and he, him and his buddy, Kimo, actually own a company, he was telling me, that sells this blue scorpion shit.
02:41:35.000
They're involved with a blue scorpion venom company.
02:42:16.000
He's such a fucking gorilla when he gets people to the ground.
02:42:22.000
There's muscles that aren't supposed to be there.
02:42:33.000
Are you still fucking with the creatine gummies, Joe?
02:42:38.000
Because I looked into creatine gummies, and I heard when they bake the gummies, it takes away the potency of the creatine.
02:42:46.000
Yeah. So when you think you're getting five milligrams, you're not.
02:42:54.000
I'm taking like 30. Yeah, I'm up to 20. I'm taking like 10 gummies at a time.
02:43:01.000
I'll try like regular creatine to see if I feel a difference.
02:43:05.000
Because one of the things that's really big is if I have a night where I don't get any sleep.
02:43:11.000
And there's been studies done on improving cognitive performance when you're sleep-deprived with creatine.
02:43:20.000
It's like one of the only things that I could even think of.
02:43:23.000
Because even caffeine, like you're awake, but you're still out of it.
02:43:42.000
That thing that you did where you were holding, what was the amount of weight you were lifting?
02:44:01.000
I think it was like 47 seconds and then Thor was like 58 seconds.
02:44:09.000
Nuts. That's nuts that you're technically stronger than the mountain.
02:44:18.000
Yeah. You must feel like a fucking beast right now.
02:44:22.000
As long as I'm ready to fight that guy in the plane, I'm like, what'd you say?
02:44:29.000
I did a lift with Mitchell Hooper and Flex Lewis and Dragon Slayer in Vegas, and I was in a camp for something.
02:44:40.000
One of the strongest I'd ever been, and it was just a complete embarrassment.
02:44:52.000
Because he's one of the strongmen and he has a personality.
02:45:01.000
I was just sitting down eating food and they asked me to do it.
02:45:11.000
That nose is flattened and twisted and torqued to the side.
02:45:15.000
When he's looking at you head on, it's like his nose is taking a hard right.
02:45:30.000
Because I asked Thor, and he told me his record.
02:45:58.000
I weighed like 225, and I did 27. That's impressive.
02:46:05.000
I usually get at least 20-something the first time.
02:46:08.000
I do 315 for 5, and I do 225 for again 20-something.
02:46:37.000
I usually do like five sets of 20. But like good 20 pull-ups.
02:47:06.000
It's the proper time for Leon 2 right now, you know?
02:47:16.000
Well, he probably wants revenge after that Bilal fight.
02:47:25.000
Well, it's fucking five o'clock in the morning.
02:47:28.000
How? How can you fight at your best when you're up all night?
02:47:33.000
Why wouldn't you set up so the champ's in ideal conditions?
02:47:38.000
If Bilal was the champ coming over there, you're like, he'll fight in London, but it has to be at 5 a.m.
02:47:42.000
When you're the champ in your hometown, why the fuck we don't have 5 a.m.?
02:47:48.000
Just the idea of getting people to fight at that time.
02:47:50.000
But there's also a lot of X-Factors we don't know behind the scenes.
02:48:02.000
Anytime. But it can't be that easy where the UFC just decides.
02:48:05.000
I bet there's some other X-Factors that go into it.
02:48:07.000
Pay-per-view buys in America are bigger than everywhere else.
02:48:11.000
And it has to be the people who are used to buying it at 7 o'clock at night.
02:48:20.000
That means, you know, when you're on the West Coast, like, the main card doesn't start until 7 p.m.
02:48:32.000
Yeah, main event is not on until, like, 1.30 sometimes.
02:48:44.000
35? Yeah, it has to be 34, 35. Jamie, how old's Leon?
02:49:09.000
He must have a warehouse filled with them, too, because he gets a new one forever.
02:49:24.000
When you have a main card, I want to see his head looking like a grape.
02:49:40.000
Just a slight delay and they just wheel him off.
02:49:42.000
The whole audience gives it like a fucking 10 count.
02:49:45.000
ADCC 2022, he had like another event that he had to do.
02:49:49.000
And like ADCC, like the scheduling wasn't perfect, so he was a little bit late.
02:50:20.000
My biggest anxiety at the UFC is getting the names right at the Wayans.
02:50:25.000
Those undercards when it's like a Dagestanian fighter we're not familiar with?
02:50:30.000
And I have to have the people in the back, they say it to me in my ear.
02:50:35.000
And then I write it out phonetically like, Yeah, bro.
02:50:43.000
Because there's like C's and Z's in there that don't make any sense.
02:50:52.000
Like, even GFL or Game Bread, like, you want to go in the Octagon or the cage and interview the fight and have to say their name?
02:51:35.000
Like John Anik said, he could quit right now, but that is not the cloth from which he was cut.
02:51:53.000
If you ever feel like you don't want to work out, listen to that.
02:52:11.000
Leon's gonna be in for a surprise, because he's like, yo, he's so short.
02:52:14.000
If that happens, but I mean, you gotta close that distance of danger with this fucking...
02:52:20.000
It's also tough on them, because remember, he's supposed to fight JDM, a straight striker.
02:52:24.000
Right. He's supposed to fight Jack, and then they switch it.
02:52:28.000
How much time did they give him before they switched it?
02:52:33.000
What happened again in the Balal fight with Sean?
02:52:42.000
Just defend the takedown and fucked his face up.
02:52:44.000
Sean looking to put a lot of pressure on him just like Balal did.
02:52:54.000
Especially when you're orthodox and you're fighting Leon and he's got that powerful left kick that's opened up.
02:53:12.000
This is the difference is the management of the striking distance.
02:53:23.000
They're so crisp, and there's no fat in them, no wasted movement, straight down the pipe.
02:53:30.000
If you're Brady, you can't go for the takedown too early, because that's what Leon's expecting.
02:53:38.000
Bilal got his respect on the feet, and then started laying takedowns, if you remember.
02:53:42.000
Sean just landed a left hook there, and now they're in a clinch.
02:53:45.000
Because it's going to be tough to beat Leon if you're just straight grappling.
02:53:49.000
This is interesting that Leon's choosing to clinch with him.
02:54:03.000
And remember, in the last round, he got on top of Bilal and was smashing him with elbows.
02:54:11.000
But if you remember that Bilal fight, I've watched it a few times.
02:54:13.000
Bilal was landing like a motherfucker on the feet.
02:54:18.000
A lot of pressure, constant, got his respect on the feet, and then it opened up the takedown.
02:54:23.000
cut on the left eye yeah It's just interesting that Leon is allowing the clinch.
02:54:36.000
Well, he's stuffing that underhook pretty good with that thigh pry.
02:54:44.000
You gotta earn the respect and then the takedown will be there.
02:54:48.000
His takedown offense is too good just to shoot.
02:55:04.000
good combination They usually always have Paddy on these London cards, but he's on that Miami card.
02:55:28.000
Like, when he fought Bobby Green, I was like, Jesus.
02:55:31.000
He's so big for 55. The UFC brought him up right.
02:55:48.000
He's putting that hand super deep in the thigh, so Brady's underhook doesn't really have the ability to do anything.
02:55:59.000
Like, Brady's got to get him in the clinch and get the underhook and immediately move him around with it.
02:56:03.000
Otherwise, he's not going to make anything happen with it.
02:56:15.000
This is where strength is going to be the difference.
02:57:10.000
Yeah. I bet you Sean Brady in person is 5'8, 5'7.
02:57:36.000
Man, I'd like to see that takedown landed earlier, see him set that up.
02:57:40.000
But at least we got a takedown by Brady early, too.
02:57:58.000
Let's keep getting the same three or four commercials.
02:58:05.000
Equipment. You never see any good car commercials anymore.
02:58:15.000
Dude, they used to have commercials of, like, Ford carrying, like, Chevys.
02:59:01.000
You can suck him back and pull him between his knees.
02:59:04.000
This is a good sign that he can get this clinch early in the second like this.
02:59:38.000
Yep. Got his whole fucking legs tatted, front and back.
02:59:45.000
He should be attacking the neck with his right hand so he can put the second hook in.
02:59:59.000
That's definitely a high discrepancy you can see on the...
03:00:05.000
Yeah, well, one of them could have no shoes on too, though.
03:00:30.000
Well, Leon's doing a good job of stopping him from locking the body triangle.
03:00:35.000
He's got it, but now he's got the outside triangle.
03:00:42.000
Sean should just take him belly down and hit him.
03:00:44.000
Yeah. It's also such a brutal thing on your spine, belly down, with that body triangle.
03:01:05.000
Yeah, Leon keeps trying to go belly down, which is kind of crazy.
03:01:14.000
When you're a strong dude like that, you can land some powerful strikes from a short distance like this.
03:01:22.000
170's gonna be interesting, though, because Shafkot's out with injury.
03:01:28.000
I forget exactly what it was, but he's not coming back soon soon.
03:01:32.000
Oh, you have Makachev, you have Bilal, and then Brady with a win over a fucking number one contender.
03:01:42.000
If these guys could just figure out how to trap hands from the back, they'd be so much more effective.
03:01:58.000
Yeah. Because Brady's left knee wasn't controlling Leon's right hip.
03:02:03.000
So there's nothing stopping him from going belly down from there.
03:02:28.000
Tights are so much better because they can't grab you.
03:02:31.000
Leon should be inserting a butterfly hook here and looking to off-balance him out of that Kimura.
03:02:45.000
Like, play a dilemma between the Kimura and the pass.
03:03:17.000
People, they underestimate how fucking powerful this guy is on the ground and how good.
03:03:28.000
Well, it's actually worse now because now Leon's actually carrying his body weight.
03:03:32.000
Yep. The first half of the round, he wasn't carrying Sean's body weight.
03:03:37.000
Right. Now this is more exhausting than having your back taken.
03:03:41.000
And he's just getting brutalized the whole round.
03:03:47.000
And now he's just gotten brutalized for the entire second round.
03:03:51.000
He's going to be a lot more tired going into the third.
03:04:02.000
I'm like, nah, it's the best thing you can have with these guys.
03:05:02.000
You underestimate this guy and say he's too little, and then you get in there with him, and you're like, oh, Jesus.
03:05:13.000
That's the thing about that southpaw orthodox stance.
03:05:16.000
It just opens up that power kick from the outside on both guys.
03:05:39.000
And I think you realize, like, hey, this is not a good spot for me to be in.
03:06:01.000
Nice. He's got to block the elbow if he's going to go behind, though.
03:06:16.000
Yeah, Leon, you were doing so well and you shot, dog?
03:06:24.000
If Brady pushes that knee down, he'll be in three-quarter mount.
03:06:36.000
Awful. Especially after that second round where he just dominated him on the ground.
03:07:18.000
It's almost like he's daring him to try to get up.
03:07:27.000
Birdie's doing a pretty good job of keeping his knees off the floor.
03:07:51.000
And he kind of put himself in there with that shitty shot.
03:08:30.000
You just want to see how Sean does against, like, Makachev or Shafkot, like another grappler who can strike and defend the takedowns.
03:09:31.000
he's generating some power from here Not a lot of time.
03:10:04.000
He's exhausted from beating the shit out of him.
03:10:07.000
I mean, Leon's got to probably stop him or get some 10-8 rounds.
03:10:13.000
And just not a good decision to make against this guy.
03:10:28.000
I mean, if you're the corner, don't get taken down.
03:10:35.000
Well, he's doing a good job stopping the takedowns in the clench.
03:10:54.000
If Leon didn't pull off that last second KO against Kamaru, you would never think he has a fucking shot.
03:11:00.000
But because he's done that, we're all like, you never know, dude.
03:11:04.000
It starts standing, and he landed shots in the second and the third.
03:11:21.000
Like, he really talked heavily with me about his mental coaching and how much of an effect it had on...
03:11:50.000
Well, you know, I'd have to have him explain it.
03:11:53.000
I don't want to butcher it, but it was all about strategies to keep him focused and on track.
03:12:07.000
Affirmation training, developing custom affirmations to enforce positive talk, build confidence, mind control techniques.
03:12:15.000
I mean, sometimes fighters just need a framework.
03:12:17.000
That they keep with them in a fight, so if something goes sideways, they can get back on track.
03:12:24.000
Yeah, because sometimes fighters just lose their train of thought, they lose their focus, they get into a downward spiral in their head, and then they find themselves not...
03:13:07.000
Shutout against one of the best of all time in the division.
03:13:12.000
Former champion, beats his ass, and submits him.
03:13:21.000
But it makes sense Brady would hire a mental coach of that, because remember, he's undefeated, never lost, and when you get your ass handed to you, you're like, oh fuck, I'm not the end-all be-all.
03:14:04.000
That's so crazy to ask them to be the 51st date.
03:14:09.000
He goes, I started calling him Governor Trudeau just for fun, and a lot of people were saying it's a good idea.
03:14:23.000
No. I believe that confidence is built in the gym.
03:14:28.000
If you hit an armbar 10 times out of 10 times in training, you're pretty confident that it's going to work.
03:14:34.000
But if you don't hit it in training, why would you be confident?
03:14:38.000
Moments in your past where you had a lapse of concentration and then you realized never do that again?
03:14:46.000
Yes. I'm pretty good at analyzing mistakes and then fixing them.
03:14:55.000
I would beat a lot of guys and then I'd have one disastrous match at Purple Belt or something or Brown Belt.
03:15:03.000
Everyone was always like, you're Tom or friends.
03:15:15.000
I feel like eventually I'm going to get good and then I'll be good everywhere and no one will be able to beat me in any position.
03:15:23.000
And then kind of just going through the reps in the gym and got to a point where I was beating everyone from every position.
03:15:29.000
So just you accelerated your skill set so far beyond that you just were so confident that you didn't need to...
03:15:37.000
Yeah, but there definitely is the it factor that you can't really put your finger on.
03:15:43.000
Most guys, even at the highest levels, if you give them the reason to quit, they'll quit.
03:15:53.000
Even guys who are super good technically, and you see a lot of jiu-jitsu who are super good technically, if they just get pushed hard and they don't have success early on, they either crush a guy in the first five minutes or...
03:16:06.000
Well, that's why you like those no-time-limit fights, right?
03:16:10.000
Yeah. I think I'm a lot stronger mentally than everyone I compete against, but also it's a big physical factor because of the fact that when you have like a 30-minute match, for example, the most important thing is the work rate.
03:16:23.000
So it doesn't matter how good your cardio is, like how high your VO2 max is, if you're working twice as hard as I am...
03:16:32.000
Because I'm so much more technical, because the gap in skill is so big between me and the next best guy, their work rate is always three, four, five times as high as mine.
03:16:42.000
They have to explode, they have to move quickly.
03:16:47.000
But because I'm so much more efficient, the work rate is so much higher for my opponents that they just fatigue a lot faster.
03:16:56.000
And it's crazy, too, that you lay out the blueprint of what to do.
03:17:01.000
Train 365 days a year, constantly study, constantly go over positions, constantly drill things, constantly improve upon techniques, and then you put the techniques out.
03:17:11.000
And you put them out in instructionals, and people still can't fuck with it.
03:17:19.000
Like, there's a reason why guys on Wall Street make more money than guys who dig ditches.
03:17:26.000
Everyone has no problem coming in, getting a sweat, going home, being sore, stuff like that.
03:17:32.000
But if you ask them to sit down and watch an hour's worth of instruction every night from a Gordon Ryan instructional, which is proven to work in competition, nobody wants to do that.
03:17:45.000
You can give them the tools, but they won't build the house.
03:17:53.000
Hundreds of hours worth of instructionals that I do, and I've referenced matches that I hit this exact technique in, in competition at world level, and just no one's picked up on it.
03:18:04.000
They kind of just, like, grab stuff, like they see me do, like, a move, and they kind of just, like, get the basics of it, but no one's really, like, in-depth studied it and, like, been able to perform the moves in competition.
03:18:18.000
It's so interesting that the thing that you would need is just a work ethic.
03:18:23.000
Like, everyone's just like, oh, it's just like a big juice head.
03:18:33.000
But the stuff he's talking about also isn't exciting, you know?
03:18:40.000
But, like, what wins wars is technology and information.
03:18:46.000
Usually a country with more technology, more access to technology and information is going to be able to win a war.
03:18:53.000
If you know more, most of the time you're going to be able to win more.
03:18:57.000
I'm beating these guys because I know more than they do.
03:19:05.000
Even the best guys in the world are super inconsistent.
03:19:10.000
They'll win two, they'll lose one, they'll win four, they'll lose two.
03:19:15.000
But when you know more than everyone in every given position, it's pretty easy.
03:19:20.000
You were telling me your stomach's getting better now?
03:19:25.000
I'm eating better meals, but training hard is still tough.
03:19:29.000
Whenever my heart rate gets super high, I start to get like...
03:19:32.000
Tired from a hard session, I still get super nauseous.
03:19:35.000
I can't believe no one has found a solution to that.
03:19:50.000
We know more about space than we do the stomach.
03:19:55.000
Which is like the hardest one to treat because like they can look at your stomach with an endoscopy and they can look at your large intestine with a colonoscopy.
03:20:02.000
But to like figure out what the fuck's going on in your small intestine is like a completely...
03:20:22.000
But you're not supposed to do them the way you did them, right?
03:20:24.000
You're not supposed to take antibiotics for a year.
03:20:26.000
Well, so, it was like, so if you get staph and you don't treat it, it just spreads and you die.
03:20:32.000
Yeah. So it was like, I got caught in this cycle where it was like, I got staph, I took antibiotics, and then I'd be good for two days, got staph, took antibiotics, got staph, took antibiotics, got staph.
03:20:43.000
So it was just like, I'd have like three days of training, and then I would just get staph again.
03:20:48.000
Once my stomach started to get affected and my immune system wasn't as strong, my body was trying to fix my stomach, and then I would get staph because my immune system wasn't as strong.
03:21:00.000
So then I'd take antibiotics, and then that would destroy my stomach, make my immune system weaker, and then I'd get staph again.
03:21:06.000
So I just got caught in this cycle, and I'm sitting there like, I'm not a pussy.
03:21:10.000
So it was just me training the whole time, regardless of what was going on.
03:21:14.000
Like, I would not train when I had the staph, but I wasn't going to, like, Take time off and, like, try to deal with my stomach.
03:21:20.000
I was just like, fucking gotta keep eating next month.
03:21:23.000
Goddamn. Mental toughness can sometimes fuck you up.
03:21:26.000
Yeah. Have you ever thought about trying, like, a long fast?
03:21:31.000
Um, I mean, I've been forced into, like, two-week fasts.
03:21:36.000
Yeah, like, yeah, like, pretty much, like, not eating hardly anything.
03:21:40.000
I was actually, before I fought Roberto Gymnast, that one time I called the armbar.
03:21:43.000
I was in the hospital, like, two days before that, getting IVs, because I just hadn't eaten in, like, a week and a half, two weeks.
03:21:53.000
So, obviously, then, that's not going to cure it.
03:21:57.000
No. And the problem is, is, like, everything is trial and error.
03:22:06.000
And you can't, like, do everything at one time, because then you don't know, like you said.
03:22:12.000
I don't know what's actually making me feel good.
03:22:14.000
You have to add one thing and take away one thing at a time.
03:22:24.000
Everyone was suggesting carnivore, but my stomach just wouldn't digest it.
03:22:41.000
Crazy that you're still able to operate at such a high level with such a giant fucking problem that would really end most people's careers.
03:22:51.000
I know, but I just can't imagine that with all the resources of the world that someone hasn't reached out to that solution.
03:23:00.000
You know, I mean, isn't it kind of crazy that you think that no one, there's not one guy out there in Australia or some shit?
03:23:08.000
Yeah. Well, I mean, the first time I came on this show, a ton of people reached out.
03:23:13.000
I finally found that guy who, like, first of all, when you go to a normal GI doctor, like, the guy in California did tests that none of the other GI doctors even know exist.
03:23:25.000
And I'm like, I don't know how that's possible.
03:23:26.000
Like, if you ask me a question in jiu-jitsu, it's like...
03:23:28.000
X, Y, Z. Whereas, like, you go to one doctor, and there's no idea what the other tests were that I got ran on me by another doctor, which is just so insane.
03:23:37.000
So this one guy actually ran tests, and he was like, oh, all these things are wrong with you, and now it's a question of how can we treat them.
03:23:43.000
But, like, most of the doctors I went to, like all the best doctors in the U.S., just did, like, an endoscopy, like some basic blood work, and they're like, oh, you're fine.
03:23:52.000
So this other doctor that said, this is what's wrong with you, what was his solution?
03:24:00.000
I mean, I could sit here and list for five minutes of things that are wrong with me, but it was like we're going to do a lot of holistic stuff, like over-the-counter stuff, like binders to deal with mold poisoning, toxic issues, and then a lot of...
03:24:20.000
Like probiotics, prescription antifungals, like just a combination of stuff.
03:24:24.000
Like glute shields, like you just drink it and it coats the lining of your esophagus in your stomach.
03:24:29.000
Because my big issue is with the small intestine where the food and bile back up into the stomach and it just sits there because the small intestines are so infected.
03:24:41.000
Yeah, so it's like you eat food, you get full fast, and the food just sits in your stomach and just like...
03:24:59.000
Well, right now we're just trying to open up this school.
03:25:00.000
So I've been trying to open up this damn school for like two years up in North Austin.
03:25:06.000
We're like right at the tail end of getting that open.
03:25:08.000
So once we get that open and up and running, then I'll jump back in if I'm healthy.
03:25:14.000
And there's nothing you can do differently than what you're doing now.
03:25:21.000
So, like, they got that fungal issue they think under control.
03:25:27.000
But because the fungal issue in the small intestines now is resolved, or mostly resolved, they think, the lining of the intestines is so inflamed, like a scar, basically, that you have mast cells underneath your...
03:25:47.000
So when food or stomach acid leaks through the intestinal wall and hits the mast cells, they shoot histamines back up to try to prevent it from leaking into your bloodstream.
03:25:57.000
So every time I eat food, I just get this adrenaline, adrenal response, because they just shoot histamines back up from under my intestinal walls back into my intestines, and it just sends my body into a state of shock.
03:26:14.000
So when it was really bad, every time I eat a meal, my heart rate would go up to 150.
03:26:19.000
sit there for like 30 minutes and then like your heart rate goes up and your digestive system just stops so it was like it would just send my body into like a full panic attack every time i ate a And I'm like, oh, this is sick.
03:26:33.000
And now it's gotten a little bit better because it's starting to heal a little bit, but it's still not 100%.
03:26:37.000
So it's like one problem just evolved into another problem.
03:26:40.000
And then because the leaky gut was so bad, my kidneys were shutting down because I couldn't filter out all the...
03:26:47.000
That's when I took a leave of absence or retired, whatever you want to call it, after I fought Wagner the one time when we first met.
03:26:54.000
My leaky gut was so bad, my kidneys started to shut down.
