00:01:14.000Like, when he was throwing kicks, he was kind of like giggling and laughing a couple times when he hit me in the teeth and once or twice knocked the wind out of me in my mind.
00:02:39.000I was watching it at home and I noticed like at the three minute mark, you know, there's a thing that you could tell, especially when you've seen so many fights, where you see a guy in the beginning and you see like how his body moves and then you see a diminishment.
00:02:53.000And I saw, at three minutes, I saw the feet were heavier, the movement was different.
00:02:59.000He still looked good, but I was like, oh, he's already feeling it three minutes in.
00:03:35.000I think I broke his nose in the first minute, and then he came to Extreme.
00:03:40.000I pretty much told Chris Curtis, I'm like, Curtis, if you let Dustin walk out of this fucking round, I will respect you less as a man.
00:03:48.000You know, like, you're not part of our fucking team.
00:03:51.000Like, if you let him have any success with you, dude, like, I will respect you less as a man.
00:03:57.000How did Dustin get in the UFC? So it's kind of, I don't know who he fought, but he picked up a guy, or a guy picked him up and slammed him and broke his shoulder.
00:04:07.000So his hype train was fighting a guy who, like, doesn't belong here.
00:04:11.000So the guy broke his shoulder in the slam?
00:04:14.000Yeah, so now it's like, oh, Dustin slammed him or something happened, and then, like, that's how he got signed.
00:07:08.000I was like, dude, you just like, there's something like, there's something with you right now after we get done boxing for like 40, 45 minutes.
00:07:15.000He starts telling me his personal issues.
00:07:17.000I'm like, oh, fuck yeah, dude, you were ready to die today.
00:07:31.000And Buster Douglas had always been, like, that really talented guy with a wicked jab who just didn't apply himself, like many really talented guys.
00:07:39.000And then for that camp, he just went fucking full in.
00:07:42.000Yeah, some guys, some guys, even when they have that, like...
00:07:45.000I mean, fuck, even walking, even sometimes me when I walk out, like, I gotta tell myself, like, dude, you are a fucking loser.
00:07:51.000Like, you are a fucking, you don't belong here.
00:07:54.000Like, just go in there and kill this motherfucker.
00:07:56.000You know, like, I always joked, I always had, like, I had a teacher tell me in, like, 70th grade, one of the few years I went to school, I think it was, like, her name was, like, Miss Wajda, I don't know, history or some shit.
00:13:01.000I've really accepted who I am, you know?
00:13:03.000Well, it's so interesting to watch people go through these changes in life, in these trials through adversity, and become like...
00:13:11.000A very interesting person at the end of it.
00:13:14.000I know you say a lot of outrageous shit, and it's very funny, but you also say some very good shit.
00:13:20.000This speech that you gave when you were talking about America, that speech, the post-fight press conference speech, It's a fucking great speech.
00:15:34.000After my fight, I had the doctor, you know, good guy, the doctor at UFC. He comes up to me, he's like, hey, why are you talking bad about Las Vegas?
00:15:41.000I'm like, well, Dr. John, whatever your name is, Dr. Equal Dude.
00:16:30.000If you have no belief, if you have no moral right, no wrong, and you're not taught this from like a stable family and you're being raised, I mean like literally America's becoming like communist China where like We're letting our school system dictate values and beliefs.
00:16:45.000We're letting the system tell you what your kids are.
00:16:47.000And again, I'm agnostic, so I'm not telling everybody to go find Jesus, you know?
00:16:51.000If you're going to find somebody, just let it be fucking Jesus, right?
00:16:54.000But, I mean, how do you fix a moral decay of a society when that's just where we're going?
00:17:19.000But, I mean, how do you, like, again, like, if you were, you know, if you were God Joe Rogan, how do you fix this?
00:17:23.000You gotta pump a lot of money into inner cities.
00:17:27.000You gotta figure out a way to make programs and there's places in this country that for decades and decades have been filled with crime.
00:17:39.000Gang violence and drug addiction and that's all they know and that's that's the standard of their community And that's what you grow up with and that's what you see and if we don't fix that the odds of those people coming out of there I mean there's a few that come out of there that become you know whether they're artists or Athletes or whatever it is they find a way through they figure it out,
00:17:59.000but they're the rare ones okay, they're the rare ones which we got to do is create Systems where you have opportunity for kids and also mitigate the crime and mitigate the violence and whatever the fuck has to be done.
00:18:13.000Look, if they can dump billions of dollars into Ukraine, if they could dump billions of dollars into, I mean, there's so many different things that they pump money into, but they've never pumped any money into Baltimore.
00:18:25.000They never pumped any money into Detroit.
00:18:27.000Like, try to figure out a way, like, if you can, like, think about, like, what Halliburton did during the Iraq War.
00:18:33.000They got these no-bid contracts where Cheney was the fucking CEO of Halbert, and he becomes the vice president of the United States, and then the company he worked for gets these no-bid contracts to rebuild shit we blow up.
00:18:46.000Which is wild, but there's profit in that, right?
00:18:49.000So what about figuring out a way to funnel that profit into fixing inner cities?
00:18:54.000If we have less losers, we have a better America.
00:18:58.000And if you give people more opportunity, you have less losers.
00:19:01.000You know, so even let's go on the smallest scale of sex.
00:19:10.000Yeah, VHS tapes came out when I was like 15 or 16. Okay, so my brother is a few years older than me, so he remembers things that I don't, but he'll tell me them.
00:19:35.000Like my dad, my dad, my dad had this like, like an old school water heater box just stacked with fucking porn, right?
00:19:44.000You kids don't know about this, but we had like the communal VCR, so like you would go to watch Aladdin, you know, and all of a sudden like Buttfuckers 29 is on the fucking TV. So I started watching porn when I was like, I don't know, I was jerking off to the fucking third grade, my fucking third grade teacher.
00:20:16.000My brother always jokes that when he would take my dad's porn tape out of the VCR, he would always have to rewind it to where he started so no one knew he was watching porn.
00:20:27.000But then he jokes, he's like, oh man, I always know where my dad's coming now.
00:21:01.000But now, dude, you give a little kid a cell phone, and you have two parents working, next thing you know, I mean, you fucking go on Instagram, you got titties in your face.
00:21:12.000Like, now we're, like, hyper-sexualizing kids, and I think that's also a big moral decay.
00:21:18.000Because the moment you become hyper-sexualized, and I can't stop thinking about fucking pussy and dick, like, it starts fucking your brain up at such a young age.
00:21:25.000And it's a very unusual way to give it to kids where they have instant access to watching porn on their phone all day long.
00:21:47.000Because that is, like, the gateway to, like, that's why we want to make money, that's why kids want to sell drugs, that's why kids want to go fucking party.
00:22:30.000You know, and they're being, they see it all the time on Instagram when a girl has like 5 million followers and every photo is a picture of her ass.
00:22:37.000Yeah, fucking assholes hanging out and shit, you know?
00:26:34.000Dude, I'll never forget my dad, my fucking dad, dude.
00:26:37.000He fucking, I'm like 17, 18, and I come home, and like, he's laying in bed, dude, my brother's 1911. My mom bought us guns at like super early.
00:26:47.000Dude, I was like in fucking, I was like in fucking elementary school with a loaded gun in my room, you know?
00:26:56.000So I'm like 17, I come home, and my dad's staying there, and my fucking brother's 45, you know, really cool 45, and he's like talking about killing himself, and I'm like...
00:27:11.000Well, like, I'm like, dude, your wife's fucking her boss, your wife's cheating on you, like, you're fucking poor, like, you're a drug addict, like, like, where's your path to success from here?
00:28:37.000And I remember there was one time, dude, my brother fucking strapped him, like, we were talking elementary school, strapped a knife to his leg to go stab him.
00:28:48.000I remember, like, him taking off the duct tape around his leg and just ripping all his hair out of his...
00:28:55.000But yeah, later in life, dude, I think the first time I hit my dad, I was like 17. I headbutted and broke his nose and he just fell down crying.
00:31:12.000So I didn't really, like, one, I was fucking angry at you.
00:31:15.000Like, I mean, I wanted to fucking kill someone so bad as a kid.
00:31:17.000I'd walk around with a fucking knife just hoping I'd fucking, just like, fuck, I still want to kill somebody.
00:31:22.000It just would make me feel good, you know?
00:31:23.000I'd just fucking just, oh, I'd fucking love it.
00:31:26.000But, so, you had that kind of anger growing up.
00:31:29.000And I needed fucking, so that's why I was also a white supremacist.
00:31:33.000I mean, could you picture being like, can you picture, I don't even know what this is like, and no one even interjected in my life, me being 12 years old, walking around doing the fucking Hill Hitler sloop with a fucking swastika on my arm.
00:31:43.000At no point did anybody say like, hey, maybe we should help this fucking kid, you know?
00:31:49.000I was in a, I remember like, seventh grade, I took a permanent mark and I drew a swastika on my arm.
00:31:55.000And the teacher took me outside and berated me, pretty much calling me a piece of shit, like, you know what that fucking means?
00:32:26.000And that was the best thing about fighting for me is...
00:32:30.000I could go in the garage every Friday night, Saturday night, and just hit the bag all night long.
00:32:34.000And when my brother's party, my brother had these, like, so we didn't have, like, we had parents, but, like, my dad was probably trying to fuck the girls that my brother brought over for the high school parties, you know?
00:32:43.000So it's like, my dad was out there probably giving him drugs and shit.
00:32:47.000So, like, I would just be in the garage with all these fucking parties and debaucheries and fucking threesomes and foursomes were taking place, and I would just be in the garage fucking smacking the back, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
00:32:56.000And then, like, I didn't fit in, so, like, it was really just a way for, oh, Sean's not weird, he's a fighter.
00:33:03.000Sean's not the fucking weirdo that doesn't know how to talk to people, he's a fighter.
00:33:25.000I'm 32. That was, like, before amateur MMA. So it's, like, pretty much what you would do is you would just show up, they'd put chairs in, they'd buy tickets, and random people would just show up and you'd fight.
00:36:31.000Because, you know, because being a little kid, dude, like, and listening to your mom get fucked by your dad because, like, you're so afraid she's going to fucking die.
00:38:57.000Like, martial arts are the best path to recover from that.
00:39:00.000The only issue with martial arts, though, dude, and this is what I tell people, and if you got a kid who trains, and let's just say you're training, what I'll tell you, dude, and this is factual, and you guys should always understand this.
00:39:13.000I tell everybody that comes in the gym, I had one guy, little Billy Bob's a pancreation champion.
00:39:46.000He's teaching cardio kickboxing classes for 20 bucks a class.
00:39:50.000So it's like, whenever you look at UFC fighters and you want to be this, understand, most of us, most of us end up poor, broke, and regretting our life choices.
00:42:14.000But if there was NFL money in the UFC... We would dominate the UFC. There would not be one foreign fucking champion.
00:42:23.000But do you think that a lot of those guys who play sports, like they play football or they play basketball, do you think they would want to fight?
00:42:31.000Because you have to have a very different kind of mentality to want to get into a ring or a cage with another man.
00:43:02.000There's money in the UFC, but that's also in boxing.
00:43:05.000The UFC's better than boxing when it comes to how undercard fighters get paid.
00:43:09.000Yeah, again, and this is, I'm a company man when it comes to UFC, you guys.
00:43:12.000Like, most people, most people, most guys, like, even if they make fucking 80k a year, 90k a year, that's better than what we should have made.
00:43:19.000We're like, we're fucking, I'm a fucking loser.
00:45:25.000It's the best sport in the world and anybody could do it.
00:45:28.000Well, it's not for everybody, that's for sure.
00:45:30.000And for a guy to get as far as you've gotten, it's the rarest of the rare.
00:45:35.000I mean, you think about how many people are training, how many people have aspirations, and then filter them all out to how many people get to headline a main event.
00:45:44.000Ideally, though, if I could talk to a kid and they were to tell me they want to be UCF, I tell them don't do it.
00:51:28.000So, Izzy, tell me about your win as you take a couple of step backs and you're gonna be thinking about jerking his dog off the whole fucking time.
00:57:04.000He fucking, you know, someone showed him the journal, and he's like, you know, fucking, I'm Dana White, I know your name, you know, blah, blah, blah.
00:57:11.000But then you had these fucking bandwagon motherfuckers, dude.
00:57:14.000You had like Joaquin Buckley, just the little, the cringe lord he is.
00:59:26.000But that is a problem with social media, is that people have this opportunity to try to portray a version of themselves that might not be honest.
01:01:15.000If you're going to joke about his crazy ass dying and him being a pill addict, then you go and post about like, oh yeah, Stefan Bonner, he was a great guy.
01:01:24.000No, motherfucker, he was a fucking pill addict.
01:01:26.000You all knew, we all fucking knew, there were so many people involved in his life that could have stepped in.
01:01:39.000I ran into him when he had cleaned himself up.
01:01:41.000I was in Salt Lake City about a year and a half ago.
01:01:45.000He went through a stretch that he was clean.
01:01:47.000And I was doing a show out there and he came to the show and he came and he brought this stem cell doctor who runs this Utah stem cell clinic and he was clear eyed and we had a fun talk.
01:02:01.000And I told Forrest, I'm like, Forrest, I'm just telling you dude, I've been, I mean, I was watching my dad snort oxys off the kitchen table when I was in elementary school.
01:02:45.000Maybe he just didn't have someone like that in his life.
01:02:47.000And also, sometimes those guys, they burn so many bridges that by the time the shit goes sideways, they don't have anybody that's going to stick their neck out for them.
01:02:55.000That's why we talk about it in Segway to homeless people.
01:02:57.000People are like, oh man, I won't give a dime to a fucking homeless person, dude.
01:03:01.000You go fucking be homeless, go drink the sewer water.
01:03:03.000Because you've got to think about me, piece of shit.
01:03:06.000But there was always someone in my life that was like, hey, you can sleep on my couch for a weekend.
01:04:58.000Every time I feel like a bitch, you guys, every time I feel like a fucking pussy, I look in the mirror and I think about my buddy in Africa who had to smoke his mom.
01:10:44.000Me and my demons are fucking buddies, dude.
01:10:46.000I always say, dude, I always say, like, and this is, I'm not religious, obviously, but if God and the devil were real, the only person who's ever been there for me has been the devil.
01:11:13.000Like, when I was, again, when I was a kid and I had to do fucked up shit, hit my dad with a guitar, like, I had to, like, you know, become a sociopath.
01:11:20.000I had to, like, turn, shut, sworn, dirty, man.
01:11:51.000And this is where it's hard for me to understand.
01:11:56.000And you don't even know this until you get older, but I evolved.
01:12:01.000My brain thought the world was different.
01:12:06.000And then all of a sudden you become an adult and you're like, the way my brain formed and grew up isn't the way the world is.
01:12:14.000My brain trained me that the world's brutal, it's harsh, you're a victim, you have to be a predator, you have to be a bully, you have to hurt people, you have to crave power, you have to want sex.
01:12:25.000And then you turn to an adult and you're like, oh man, that's not how life is.
01:12:30.000But don't you think that you continue to evolve?
01:12:33.000If you evolve past that, don't you think you continue to evolve?
01:12:36.000Once your base brain, like you could slowly, like you could brainwash yourself to think fucking I'm a chicken if I slowly go through the process of brainwashing myself.
01:12:46.000But once those foundations are set, dude, it's hard to unset them.
01:13:20.000They weren't turning their back on Rittenhouse.
01:13:22.000They just factually said, because everyone was saying they sponsored Kyle Rittenhouse and gave him a t-shirt to wear when he got out of jail.
01:13:29.000So that being said, dude, don't fucking trust the media, right?
01:13:32.000Even me, I was like, fuck Black Rifle.
01:14:37.000It was an Indian family that owned, I think it was a car dealership, and they were worried about their car dealership getting burnt down, so they asked him to come and help.
01:16:07.000Did the guy die from asphyxiation, or did the guy have a heart attack because he was on drugs?
01:16:12.000Because this was the thing that they said about George Floyd, is that he was going to die of a fentanyl overdose anyway.
01:16:17.000I don't know if that's true, but I don't know what the case is with this guy, but I do know that there was another guy who was holding him down that was a black guy that they conveniently left out of all these outrage articles when they tried to make it a white-on-black thing.
01:18:14.000She had this look, kind of like scared.
01:18:17.000So me, being a fucking fucked up sociopath, like, oh, I gotta hurt somebody.
01:18:21.000I'm like, well, if he wants to pay for the wall, he can come fucking suck my dick and earn the money.
01:18:26.000Next thing I know, dude, he comes out and says, fucking shotgun, fucking racks it right to my fucking head.
01:18:32.000And mind you, dude, guys, if somebody wants to kill you, generally you're dead.
01:18:36.000Like, if somebody puts a gun on you and you don't get the fucking, and you don't get plugged right off the back, there's a chance you're going to walk out of that one.
01:18:44.000So you should probably just do what they say.
01:18:46.000So anyways, I put my hands up and I'm like, I'm like begging.
01:21:02.000He's like, well, all you need is 15 college credits, and then you could blah, blah, blah, sign up for this, and you could get in.
01:21:08.000So I'm like, sweet, 15 college credits?
01:21:09.000That's only like a couple semesters a semester.
01:21:12.000So I go sign up at a community college, get my credits.
01:21:17.000The night I go to a party, and then that little voice in my head, a little voice in my head that tells me to fucking do something bad fucking comes in my head, and I fucking hurt two people.
01:21:29.000So, facing two felony GBIs, I had to pay my lawyer, I had to pay my bail bondsman, and then King of the Cage hit me up, and they're like, hey, we have a fight in South Africa in like two weeks.
01:23:24.000So if society is allowing you to be a decent human being, yet you are not a decent human being because you would do this if the situation had arised...
01:23:33.000Are you a decent human being with who you are?
01:23:35.000I think you have to take into consideration all the experiences that you've had in your life.
01:23:40.000And I don't think it's as simple as, are you a good human being or are you a bad human being?
01:24:11.000And I think you hold the, I'm a piece of shit, and you hold that up as a shield to sort of protect yourself and give yourself a way out of things.
01:30:05.000Like, they're fucking, you know, they're fucking solid motherfuckers.
01:30:08.000So one day, Albert Durov, I mean, I would go hard on Muhammad, like, everything that you weren't supposed to do, I'm like, well, let me show you this doodle I said.
01:32:07.000But it's also not really compatible with American values.
01:32:10.000It's not compatible with some aspects of American values, especially when it comes to women, gay rights, things along those lines.
01:32:17.000Well, I mean, it sounds reasonable to me.
01:32:18.000There was a God, and God and his rightful wisdom, you know, as he created the earth and he created the people, he said, these fucking whores, we need to cover this stuff.
01:32:27.000I mean, that sounds fucking reasonable to me.
01:32:29.000I mean, I just said, I don't want women working.
01:32:42.000Because of that, it doesn't get supported.
01:32:46.000The fact that raising a kid is a fucking insanely difficult proposition.
01:32:53.000And the fact that we expect people to raise kids while they also are doing, you know, a job, a fucking eight-hour-a-day job, and then commuting and being exhausted.
01:37:07.000Anyway, so there's like this weird, like, church or like, like, it's like a self-help cult.
01:37:12.000And one day, one day, like, Khalil came and like took somebody out of training and was like, oh, I don't want to, like, the kid didn't want to fucking go.
01:38:47.000But I'm not in that situation with him.
01:38:49.000You're gonna tell him that you don't want transgenders in the sport, and next thing you know, he's gonna fucking accuse you of touching him under the desk.
01:39:30.000He goes to the PI, and I guess this is after they broke up, so I thought like a couple years pass, it would be funny now if I tell him that like, you know, you fucking snagged her from me.
01:39:39.000And then a couple years pass, and I tell him this, and he goes to the PI, and he files a complaint in the Performance Institute that I brought this up and I made him feel like uncomfortable or sad.
01:42:40.000Like, people just need something to fight over.
01:42:43.000Well, it's also an easy way where you can become special.
01:42:47.000I mean, New Jersey just said that there was a 4,000% increase in kids identifying as non-binary.
01:42:54.000First of all, what the fuck does that even mean?
01:42:57.000And allowing someone to say they're non-binary to me is like, listen, you don't have to embrace masculinity and you don't have to embrace femininity.
01:43:08.000I mean, we're making people special with no effort.
01:43:13.000And if you just say you're a they and a them and everybody has to say that, and if they don't say that, you can yell at them, which is what, you know...
01:43:19.000I'm surprised you don't toe the line, dude.
01:43:21.000I'm shocked that you take that opinion.
01:44:18.000And it's a thing where there's a fetish where men get sexually aroused by pretending that their women are dressing up like women, but they want to fuck women.
01:44:39.000But you can't fucking compete against women.
01:44:43.000It's not fair in any way, shape, or form.
01:44:46.000Every now and then you'll meet kids, right?
01:44:48.000And, like, masculine father, and you're like, oh man, that kid's gonna be gay for sure.
01:44:51.000Like, you meet kids, dude, and they already got the list, but it's like, dude, you're like fucking 10 years old and your dad's in the military.
01:45:46.000Well, this is the weird thing about this whole LGBTQ like coalition, like a group of people all connected together because a lot of my friends who are gay, they don't like what's going on with this movement because they think that a lot of people who just would be gay are getting convinced into becoming trans.
01:46:06.000They're getting convinced into becoming that they really are a man trapped in a woman's body.
01:46:51.000And I think there's also a lot of people that are teaching school that don't have children of their own and that also they get social value and social brownie points for embracing gender ideology because it's the like...
01:47:03.000But how many generations until we lose?
01:47:12.000Because if we are at the fall of an empire, I've talked about this before, but Douglas Murray, who's a British intellectual, who's also gay, by the way, he says that at the end of every empire, they become obsessed with gender.
01:47:23.000And that is one very weird thing that I never saw coming.
01:47:26.000If you came to me just fucking ten years ago and said that gender and transgender ideology would be the thing that the president would be talking, he'd be sitting there with Dylan Mulvaney getting interviewed.
01:49:26.000And, you know, I think a lot of people think that amount of progress has happened for the trans movement too, but I think what has to happen is things go too far and then they even out.
01:49:35.000And then what's really going to be a fucking long string of lawsuits, which is 100% coming, Is these de-transitioners.
01:49:44.000These people that were forced to transition or encouraged to transition when they were kids.
01:50:15.000To transition, it's a way to be special.
01:50:19.000To support that, it's a way to be special.
01:50:20.000And you immediately get love because of it.
01:50:22.000And it's a way to become special without putting in any work.
01:50:24.000Right now, if I put a fucking wig on, and I said, I mean, look at all these Navy SEALs that fucking cut their dick off, or the next thing you know, they become specials.
01:50:32.000How many Navy Seals are cutting their dick out?
01:51:01.000But you're becoming special through hard work, so you understand what it's like to be special.
01:51:08.000Everybody wants to be special, but they don't want to fucking, not everybody wants to work.
01:51:11.000And if there's a pathway for young kids, especially this generation where everybody wants a quick fix for everything, if there's an instantaneous pathway for you to become special, all you have to do is make your hair blue and say you're a they and you wear a dress to school.
01:51:25.000I gotta ask something before we run out of time.
01:51:40.000I don't think affirmative action is the solution.
01:51:41.000I think the solution is what we talked about earlier.
01:51:44.000Finding these impoverished, crime-ridden communities, whether it's white people in Appalachia, where they're all on fucking pills, or whether it's black people that live in Baltimore, or Puerto Ricans that live in the Bronx.
01:51:57.000Whatever the fuck it is, we have impoverished communities.
01:52:05.000They should elevate the quality of education, elevate the quality of life, and it should be a gigantic project that the whole country gets behind.
01:52:13.000That's what I think is the way to fix things.
01:52:15.000Well, I mean, systematic oppression is a real thing.
01:52:27.000what's his name he's a d1 wrestler black guy and i said he was like the white and i made fun of him for not being black what the fuck's his name phil haas i said like phil haas went and trained with me and like he was such a pussy like he was like he was like i was like hey man like you're a middleweight i'm a middleweight let's like bang a little bit he's like sean are you sure are you sure you want to spar hard i'm like yeah dude let's fucking fucking fight and you're an unusual guy you You have to understand, like, just that alone.
01:52:53.000How many guys are, like, just banging all day for training?
01:53:21.000Like, I was the white, I was the fucking, like, when you get arrested, you guys, at least in California, whenever you get walked to your cell, they segregate the whites and the blacks and the Mexicans.
01:53:33.000Whites and Mexicans roll together, blacks roll separate.
01:53:35.000They're segregated, at least in the county I was in.
01:53:38.000And bro, you walk by this fucking cage.
01:53:40.000You walk by this cage and you've got these black people.
01:53:42.000And that's how kind of millennia we're in mind.
01:53:43.000We've got these black people crowning the bars with their fucking big old beard, like talking shit to you.
01:53:48.000I remember, I forget, dude, I got in my jail cell and there was a guy named Spider and he's like laying down.
02:00:09.000I'm like, well, I grappled on fucking Monday, I sparred on Tuesday, I wrestled on Thursday, I sparred on Thursday, Tuesday, and now me and you are boxing, sir.
02:01:35.000When he talks about blood work and blood testing and whether or not there's indicators that show that someone had taken something...
02:01:44.000But you know he his take on that is very different and also his taken even Daniel Cormier He was saying that Daniel Cormier is like something's wrong with his blood work, too But I don't know what that means so I go hard on John Jones He posted something about like I think his kid got like and again This is me being fucking CT half retardation his kid got like a A dog, like, came out.
02:02:06.000Some crazy shit happened, but the kid was fine.
02:06:26.000But it's like, dude, I mean, could you picture like, I mean, if you were on your tweet tweeter right now talking about like, fuck Israel and all that, I'd be like, Joe, you're a fucking idiot, dude.
02:07:04.000The scariest thought is that people are willing to make decisions that they know is going to cross thousands and thousands of people their lives.
02:07:10.000You know, with how much money we gave to Ukraine, I talked about this in a press conference.
02:07:14.000That would have financed cancer, like American cancer treatments for like 5-10 years.
02:07:45.000Because it's one thing that does separate you from everybody else is this timing and control of distance that you really only get from a lot of sparring.
02:07:53.000And so there's guys like Max Holloway, who's the elite of the elite.
02:07:57.000Who said at this point in time, I don't spar anymore because I get banged up too much sparring.
02:08:00.000You know, he said that to you, but I ran into him and I asked him and he kind of like laughed.
02:12:02.000The most sincere guy was like, Francis.
02:12:05.000No offense, man, but I would never want to date a girl you dated just because, like, I mean, maybe like six of these combined.
02:12:13.000And Francis, I'm not even joking, bro.
02:12:15.000I'm like, I mean, I'm being comic, I'm joking.
02:12:18.000He's like, Sean, Sean, Sean, you don't, when you know the way of a woman, he's like, you can make a woman, you know, climax with the finger.
02:12:26.000And he's like, he's like having this heart-to-heart talk with me about, like, pleasuring a woman.
02:12:31.000And I'm like, Francis, I'm just making a joke, dude.
02:12:47.000The power that guy has is fucking ridiculous.
02:12:48.000But what I'm saying, though, it's like, when he scares me, like that little voice, you know, me hiding underneath the bed from my dad, and like, that little child fucking looks at him and I feel fear.
02:12:59.000I'm like, I gotta fight that motherfucker.
02:19:45.000They're going after her, asking her all these questions about these fucking emails and these WhatsApp chats that show that there's very clear bribery going on.
02:21:02.000Congratulations on your fight, and I really look forward to seeing you next time you're in there against anybody and everybody, whoever it is.
