Transcript
00:00:19.000
It's just like getting pulled over by the cops.
00:00:22.000
The cops are like, what the fuck are you doing?
00:00:36.000
Yeah, there's some talk about Trump legalizing marijuana now.
00:00:48.000
I mean, I would have thought by the time, I just turned 58.
00:00:50.000
I would have thought by the time I'm 58, we would have figured this out.
00:00:58.000
But with my ulcerative colitis, after my colonosomi one time, the doctor's like, well, there's this pill you could take.
00:01:06.000
It could affect your liver, but not for many years.
00:01:14.000
I'd be going to Columbia for stem cells for my fucking liver at this point.
00:01:18.000
So what I do is the natural stuff, and it does help me.
00:01:27.000
It would take the place of so many different pharmaceutical drugs.
00:01:32.000
The other part of the problem is the alcohol industry.
00:01:42.000
They do not want marijuana becoming legalized in the whole nation.
00:01:52.000
Well, the real big problem is who's selling if it's illegal?
00:02:01.000
But there's a guy named John Norris who's been on the podcast before, who was a game warden.
00:02:09.000
You know, just a guy who checks fishing licenses and shit.
00:02:14.000
And he came upon a fucking cartel grow op in the middle of the national forest.
00:02:18.000
And then they realized, oh, no, this is what they do.
00:02:21.000
They go deep into the woods and public land and they set up a grow op and they got fucking AKs and they got the Virgin Mary photos that they pray to at night.
00:02:34.000
Like full-on campsites filled with cartel dudes.
00:02:40.000
So this guy had to get Belgian malamois and bulletproof vests and they're getting shootouts with the cartels in the middle of the woods.
00:02:46.000
I thought he was signing up to be a park ranger or anything.
00:02:57.000
So when California made their laws where you could have legalized recreational marijuana, what they also did was if you grow it illegally, it's only a misdemeanor.
00:03:09.000
So the cartel could just grow if it's a misdemeanor.
00:03:13.000
And if they catch people that are illegals up there, they don't do shit.
00:03:16.000
So it's the perfect spawning ground for cartel grow-ops.
00:03:20.000
And what he was saying at the time he was here, which was a couple of years back, but he was saying that it was as much as 80% of the marijuana, I think, that was the number in the country in places where it's illegal is coming from these dudes.
00:03:35.000
And they're using all these crazy pesticides and herbs that are totally illegal.
00:03:42.000
Shit that's outlawed on farms in America, but it's effective.
00:03:47.000
So you're getting this weed that's infected with these pesticides and herbists.
00:03:55.000
If they had it legal, you could have inspectors who could check the fucking fact, the farms and the factories.
00:04:12.000
You're drinking fucking straight up alcohol, nasty shit, because that's all that's available.
00:04:28.000
And we all have seen From COVID, what the hell kind of power big pharma has.
00:04:34.000
Yeah, they're worried about it, but I think the alcohol people are worried more.
00:04:40.000
Remember, they fought MMA hard too, Bud Lawrence.
00:04:45.000
Yeah, kind of crazy that Bud Light became a sponsor years later.
00:05:02.000
But that's where the organized crime got all their money.
00:05:08.000
For 13 fucking years, alcohol was illegal in this country.
00:05:12.000
A grown man telling you you can't have a drink.
00:05:23.000
And we put it under the label drug, which is alcohol.
00:05:37.000
And the only way you know how to use it is if people are honest.
00:05:42.000
You have actual scientists who aren't being paid off to come up with some sort of negative or positive result.
00:06:18.000
Well, I saw Matt were his last time, and I said, well, that's it.
00:06:42.000
I had one that was still in the package, and I was like, should I bring this?
00:06:50.000
That was like the universe telling me that you needed one of these shirts.
00:06:57.000
And I've been telling you, I've been eating a ton of fucking pizza.
00:07:32.000
I'm not butthurt about not having my own day, but I have something better.
00:07:39.000
Thank you, Talios, from Matsupequa Park and Minniola.
00:07:45.000
It's the best fucking, it'll knock your dick off.
00:07:49.000
I put it up against any slice that they could give me.
00:07:53.000
And the reason being, listen, tell Dave Porter.
00:08:18.000
So these stripes of our chow tomato sauce imported from Italy.
00:08:56.000
We have some beautiful Fiordi Latte fresh mozzarella.
00:09:14.000
This is one of the best advertisements for cards I've ever seen.
00:09:21.000
You know, I tell you, this is the only green I eat.
00:09:49.000
This is the first time you'll ever see Matt's mouth shut.
00:09:56.000
Dude, can I tell you, I'm there all the fucking time.
00:10:01.000
My podcast I'm doing, I found the first shop near Mineola train station, and I'm like, this fucking shit's ridiculous, you know?
00:10:09.000
And then the guy happens to be a fan of the fight and Rob.
00:10:11.000
So then he's like, look, I'm opening up another spot.
00:10:28.000
That is the number one problem with any of that carnivore diet bullshit.
00:10:39.000
He was telling me that it's not even legal in Europe to have the bromate.
00:10:44.000
He goes, it's stuff they put in the dough to make it last longer and this and that.
00:10:50.000
This kid has such balls where he started important.
00:10:52.000
He's twice as much for a flour of caputo flour.
00:11:02.000
I'll eat this shit on the way to go train at my school.
00:11:05.000
And I'm not doing that with Pietro's, no offense.
00:11:11.000
Potassium bromate, a flour additive used to strengthen dough, may have potential health risks.
00:11:16.000
While it's legal in the U.S., it's banned in many other countries due to concerns about its potential carcinogenic effects.
00:11:23.000
Studies have linked it to kidney and thyroid cancers in animals.
00:11:27.000
And it's been associated with genotoxic and nephrotoxic effects in both animal models and humans.
00:11:34.000
Acute symptoms from ingestion can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
00:11:45.000
It causes changes in DNA and potentially lead to mutations.
00:12:07.000
And it's fucking, and it's, it's such a difference, man.
00:12:10.000
They say when you go to Italy and you come back and you're eating all that shit and you come back, you're not fat.
00:12:19.000
Jamie, do you remember that video that I sent you about that dude breaking down exactly what's in flour and why it fucks us up?
00:12:28.000
The dude with the hat on, who's the health expert, is a young guy, and he does an amazing job of breaking down the difference between our flour and their flour.
00:12:42.000
Yeah, that's banned in other countries, but legal here.
00:12:47.000
You would think, why are we putting up with this shit?
00:12:53.000
It's not like alcohol is like, whoa, you feel it the next day.
00:13:05.000
It would be just as good, just as good in terms of how you feel when you eat it, just as good flavor-wise, just not fucking kill you.
00:13:14.000
Explain to me why I can eat bread in Spain and in, I can, in Greece, Italy.
00:13:33.000
That's because in America, what we call bread can't even be considered food in parts of Europe.
00:13:38.000
See, here in America, it's not so much the gluten as what we've done to the grain.
00:13:41.000
About 200 years ago, we started stripping the brain and germ or the fiber and nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead.
00:13:48.000
Because the nutrients were gone, we enriched it with folic acid, which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize.
00:13:53.000
Therefore, many people experience fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity, and inflammation.
00:13:58.000
But then the bread wasn't white enough, so they bleached it with chlorine gas, and the bread didn't rise enough, so they added a carcinogen called potassium bromate, which is banned in several countries like Europe, the UK, and even China.
00:14:07.000
Then we wanted to ramp up production, so we started using glyphosate to dry out the wheat before harvest, causing endocrine disruption and damaging your gut.
00:14:14.000
So now you're bloated, brain fogged, tired, and blame gluten, but gluten is just the scapegoat.
00:14:18.000
The real issue is ultra-processed, chemically altered, bleached, bromated, fake vitamin-filled wheat soaked in glyphosate.
00:14:36.000
He's at the right time now, too, because people are starting to be made aware.
00:14:41.000
It's yeah, and you can blame it on gluten all you want, but go eat pizza in Italy.
00:14:56.000
Like back home, Deep Esqualis is the big Italian spot.
00:15:04.000
And it's like maybe five grams of carbs and a thing of gnocchi.
00:15:09.000
Yeah, you could cheat it out, but if you really want to get fucking blasted with some carbs, lasagna will do you in.
00:15:28.000
You know, Joe DeRosa, the comedian, he's got a place called Joey Roses.
00:15:39.000
They make their bread fresh every day and they throw it out at the end of the day.
00:15:42.000
They never use stale bread and they never use any preservatives.
00:15:46.000
Like, you can eat these sandwiches and you feel good.
00:15:55.000
Like, you should be feeling good after you all the time.
00:15:59.000
And the fact that it's illegal in China and all these other places, it's like, how would they?
00:16:09.000
When you talk about the trade imbalances, some of our food not being able to go over there was just the fact that they wouldn't allow the food.
00:16:21.000
It's fucked up that we're feeding that to our kids.
00:16:27.000
And if you're in that business, if that's your business, you fucking know what's going on.
00:16:32.000
And you guys let them just do that to people for profit because they can make more money this way.
00:16:38.000
But also, there's a problem with feeding fucking 300 million people.
00:16:45.000
Any disruptions to the food source is a fucking dangerous thing because no one's growing shit.
00:16:51.000
You know, we're all relying on someone else to do the growing work.
00:16:56.000
We're fucking going to these farms and catching all the people that are doing the work and then deporting them.
00:17:15.000
And the FDA has been telling people to stop using it since 1991.
00:17:20.000
They've been telling people to stop using it, but they didn't tell them they have to stop using it.
00:17:24.000
It's up to people to do whatever they want in America.
00:17:27.000
But in America's, is it the only place that uses it?
00:17:36.000
This is part of the show where I talk about AG1, which I've done for years.
00:17:42.000
And don't get me wrong, because routine is super important.
00:17:44.000
And AG1 is exactly the kind of daily, easy routine that can help you feel healthy and help you get the nutrients that your body needs.
00:17:52.000
But even if you love a routine, isn't it nice to switch it up a little?
00:17:57.000
After 15 years of the original, AG1 Has introduced three new flavors, tropical, berry, and citrus.
00:18:04.000
It's still daily, it's still a routine, but it's no longer one flavor fits all.
00:18:08.000
And honestly, the best part is that's the only thing that's changed.
00:18:11.000
Besides new flavors, we're talking about the same science, the same 75-plus ingredients, and the same exact benefits.
00:18:18.000
I partnered with AG1 for so long because they're committed to constantly improving.
00:18:23.000
And now that includes offering three new flavors.

00:18:56.000
Our little cousin that we got to hang out with fucking family weddings.
00:19:03.000
And he texts you later, and you're like, Jesus Christ.
00:19:12.000
He wasn't talking to you about communist theory.
00:19:17.000
They're fining people for walking in the woods.
00:19:25.000
They told you that if you get caught in the woods because it's so hot out, they're worried about wildfires.
00:19:30.000
There's no wildfires, but they're worried about wildfires.
00:19:34.000
So to combat this, you can find people $28,000 to walk into the woods.
00:19:42.000
One guy's like, fuck you, I'm going to the woods.
00:19:51.000
They're putting thousands of people in jail for social media posts.
00:19:57.000
These fuck it's getting everybody's going communist.
00:20:00.000
Yeah, one person put this Facebook post or something like that critical of immigrants and saying they come over here and rape and murder our women.
00:20:09.000
And because of putting that up on Facebook, this person got 20 months in jail.
00:20:23.000
They've arrested my friend Constantine Kissing from Trigonometry, the podcast.
00:20:28.000
He's the one that first told me about all this because he had this conversation with this guy where he said, How many people do you think get arrested for social media posts in Russia?
00:20:38.000
And, you know, he tells them what the number is.
00:20:44.000
He goes, how many people do you think get arrested for social media posts in the UK?
00:20:54.000
Like, what would the charge be for posting something?
00:20:59.000
Dude, I actually saw a police cam video where the fucking cop was telling them that.
00:21:08.000
I'm going to jail because my post offended someone?
00:21:14.000
A man has been jailed for Facebook person encouraging violence.
00:21:19.000
He's been jailed for 20 months for encouraging people on social media to attack a hotel in Leeds housing more than 200 migrants.
00:21:30.000
I Googled man jailed in the UK for Facebook post 20 months.
00:21:37.000
That's Google funneling you what they want you to see.
00:21:58.000
The dude, if you can find the video, Jimmy, the guy's full-on wearing the wig.
00:22:04.000
And so he reads the Facebook post that this guy made, you know, which wasn't nice.
00:22:10.000
But then, you know, then he says, like, for this egregious crime, I sentence you to 20 months of detention.
00:22:22.000
It was like a weird euphemism for fucking jail.
00:22:32.000
He's got a custodial sentence and He only has to serve half of it.
00:22:35.000
Oh, so then there's to serve 10 months in a prison for making a post on Facebook.
00:22:45.000
Find the video because it's kind of funny when you see the guy's wig.
00:23:04.000
Because the richest people got the biggest wigs.
00:23:16.000
And syphilis just going rampant through these European cultures.
00:23:22.000
So syphilis came from here and then went back there.
00:23:26.000
So there's different types of syphilis, but they're pretty sure there's some evidence that indicates that one type of syphilis was transferred from Native American populations to Europeans.
00:23:35.000
Native Americans who had already had a resistance to it, just like we had a resistance to smallpox and the flu when the Europeans came over here, and that's what the Indians did, and that's why they got wiped out.
00:23:45.000
Well, they didn't have resistance to this kind of syphilis.
00:23:55.000
You did not want your money going to immigrants who, quote, rape our kids and get priority, end quote.
00:24:04.000
This offense is so serious that an immediate custodial sentence is unavoidable.
00:24:15.000
The sentence that I passed has been reduced by one-third to reflect your guilty plea.
00:24:26.000
This guy said he didn't want his money going to immigrants and went to jail.
00:24:32.000
They edited the post, so we don't know what else to do.
00:24:40.000
Whenever it's possible for something like this to exist, whenever it's possible, there's going to be a bunch of people from other countries that edit stuff to make you more mad at the people in the UK.
00:24:56.000
There's a lot going on with social media and these kind of clips and posts and stuff.
00:25:05.000
People always bitch about America, but look at that shit.
00:25:15.000
The whole rest of the world is way worse in terms of how you're able to express yourself, the consequences of expressing yourself.
00:25:27.000
It feels weird now that it's like the younger generation, everybody's like, they just like, it feels cool to say, like, fuck America.
00:25:34.000
Like, people are like, you wear an American shirt, they just think you're a fucking MAGA guy or something.
00:25:39.000
It's like, dude, you can't be proud of where you're from.
00:25:46.000
You know, it's just, we're so tribalized, and we have to get over that.
00:25:50.000
That's the number one problem is people decide that there's people that they hate and they hate everything about them.
00:25:57.000
And then, okay, now you got 50% of the country that you can't associate with that's not on your team.
00:26:04.000
And so, well, now you have to justify everything your team believes in, including shit that doesn't make any sense and shit that is probably immoral, you know, especially when you get into like trans kid surgeries and shit like that.
00:26:17.000
You have to sign off on that because if you don't, then you're signing off on these right-wing bigots that want to fucking, you know, put the Bible and everything.
00:26:30.000
Both fucking versions are bad of both sides when you're looking at it from the other side because it's all cartoonish.
00:26:36.000
Because most people live in the middle of shit.
00:26:44.000
I think you made like the point you made earlier, too.
00:26:47.000
You're getting just fired through the algorithm, you know, the shit that pisses you off if that's what you're clicking on all day long anyway.
00:26:55.000
So it just drives that wedge deeper and deeper, I think, because you're just inundated 24-7.
00:27:00.000
Like sometimes you just got to stop and get outside or watch a TV show to decompress.
00:27:08.000
Man, what they did with Star Wars, with the Oculite.
00:27:17.000
I tried to watch the electric state, that fucking thing, because I love robots going fucking rogue and AI.
00:27:28.000
It was by the Russo brothers who did The Venges and shit.
00:27:40.000
I don't like when I'm watching a movie and already I see, okay, I know who the director voted for.
00:27:49.000
They're bringing up the uprising or the robots.
00:27:51.000
And they go, and to celebrate the enslavement of the robots, Kid Rock did a concert.
00:28:07.000
You're bringing me right out of it because you're showing me like you're taking shots for the audience to know.
00:28:18.000
I don't want to know about your fucking politics.
00:28:22.000
I feel like most people are tired of talking about it.
00:28:30.000
It's also, it's like pretending that one side is beyond reproach is fucking ridiculous.
00:28:36.000
And if you're one of those tribal people, you have to do that.
00:28:58.000
You motherfuckers have been doing a terrible job of taking care of us.
00:29:03.000
We want to think you're like a cool counselor or something like that.
00:29:05.000
It's like looking out for the rest of the kids that are on this camp together.
00:29:10.000
You know, like our councilman is going to take care of us.
00:29:13.000
They're going to teach us how to get through the woods.
00:29:21.000
I mean, but this is the problem with places that don't have the freedoms that we have.
00:29:25.000
Like the Constitution, our founding fathers, they nailed it.
00:29:32.000
They knew human nature so well that it applies like it's important 300 years later.
00:29:36.000
Maybe since they came from a monarchy, you know what I mean?
00:29:42.000
They were so smart, but I wonder how many of them were there, right?
00:29:45.000
Like how many really well-educated people were around back then?
00:30:11.000
But that is why that stupid fucking thing that that guy was wearing on his head.
00:30:20.000
Yeah, and the guys with the most money had the biggest wigs.
00:30:24.000
It all started with these two brothers that were royals.
00:30:34.000
And these guys were like, you know, the socialites.
00:30:40.000
And they started losing their hair because they're freaks.
00:30:42.000
You know, they're probably fucking up a storm over there and they're catching syphilis.
00:30:51.000
And then other dudes say, I want to be like him.
00:30:54.000
And then a bunch of people started getting syphilis.
00:30:57.000
But that's crazy to me that you're almost celebrating having syphilis by getting a bigger wig.
00:31:02.000
It's like you're not celebrating syphilis, but since everybody's wearing a wig, your wig is the dopest one.
00:31:10.000
It's crazy that it's all because of sexually transmitted diseases.
00:31:24.000
The whole country, the whole, all of North America was filled with people.
00:31:34.000
This was between the times of the first settlers to the 1800s.
00:31:44.000
Like Native Americans died from disease that Europeans broke.
00:31:48.000
And you know, for a long time, they were trying to deny, they were trying to figure out what happened to the Mayans.
00:31:52.000
Well, I'll tell you what happened to the Mayans.
00:31:55.000
Obviously, Europeans, they had this spectacular civilization in Mexico.
00:31:59.000
If you ever go down and you ever go and seen any of the ruins?
00:32:19.000
And even like the, remember that the ball court they had where you can stand at one end or the other and you could hear each other talking and shit because of the acoustics.
00:32:36.000
Like dirty, stinky Europeans right off the boat, breathing on everybody, swept through the people, no immunity to it.
00:32:46.000
It's exactly what happened to all the Amazon, too, man.
00:32:55.000
They had millions of people who were living in the Amazon, and some Europeans went to visit, and like, I forget what year it was, but they came back and had these stories about these beautiful cities and filled with gold and all this crazy shit.
00:33:09.000
And then people went back 100 years later, it was all gone.
00:33:19.000
So now they use LIDAR and they scan over the top of the forest and they see where these cities used to be.
00:33:25.000
There's so much shit over there that they haven't even uncovered.
00:33:31.000
Those first people, they fucking hey, coming over to fucking disease.
00:33:40.000
You know, they were bringing some shit with them.
00:33:42.000
Oh, bro, you know how hard people must have been back then?
00:33:48.000
When someone says, hey, we've got a wood boat and we're going to go out there.
00:33:55.000
I've always given Christopher Columbus credit for that shit.
00:34:00.000
I can't even fucking find directions to get to the fucking apex half the time.
00:34:04.000
The crazy thing is, we give him credit for landing here, and he didn't even make it here.
00:34:15.000

That motherfucker went out into the ocean 500 years ago on a boat.
00:34:54.000
We give him Christopher Columbus Day about land here.
00:35:00.000
These motherfuckers, you know, just conquered nations going everywhere.
00:35:22.000
But that's probably when those diseases started hitting them areas.
00:35:27.000
Also, the history of smallpox goes back to the sixth century, starting in China.
00:35:34.000
So the sixth century, and then was it mostly smallpox that killed off the Native Americans?
00:35:40.000
Or was it a bunch of different diseases that we brought with us?
00:35:45.000
17th century European settlers bring smallpox to North America.
00:35:49.000
There's an amazing guy named what is that, Jeremy?
00:35:54.000
European settlers are here with Christopher Columbus.
00:36:13.000
Like when Christopher Columbus came, that was, so this was 1492.
00:36:25.000
How many people, once they started coming over here regularly?
00:36:28.000
Like, when did folks start hopping in boats and coming over regularly?
00:36:36.000
How many naked lands go across the fucking way?
00:36:47.000
This dude knows how to get across the ocean in a wooden boat using a thing.
00:36:52.000
We stare at the stars and try to figure out where you are.
00:37:04.000
So like 100 fucking years they talked about it.
00:37:11.000
Vikings talked about America for 100 years before they came over.
00:37:16.000
Yeah, so it's like he lands in the Bahamas and then 100 years later.
00:37:23.000
I wonder how long it took him just to get across.
00:37:26.000
Can you imagine what it would be like setting up a colony in a new country?
00:37:31.000
And you know, there's people with bows and arrows.
00:37:36.000
You knew the first people that set up the colony.
00:37:39.000
They knew that there's the fucking Indians waiting for them.
00:37:43.000
They knew that this was inhabited and they knew the type of people.
00:37:46.000
They'd come back, you know, whether it was Columbus's people or the other, whoever was here, came back and they had all these crazy stories about, you know, interacting with.
00:37:55.000
Also, the craziest stories were from, there was a, one of the guys was a priest or something, some holy man that was traveling with Columbus who had a detailed description of the horrific shit Columbus and his men did to whoever the indigenous people were that they encountered.
00:38:16.000
Where they were saying, if you don't bring back your weight and gold, we'll chomp off your arms.
00:38:20.000
They were chomping arms off, dashing babies' heads on rocks.
00:38:25.000
Yeah, they were forcing these people to bring them gold.
00:38:29.000
It's like, do you remember that guy's name, Father Something or another?
00:38:32.000
So he had his memoirs of his time over there with Christopher Columbus's people.
00:38:41.000
So these people that we celebrate, I mean, this is one thing that the Wokesters got right.
00:38:45.000
You know, if you want to celebrate Christopher Columbus, like Christopher Columbus, we have Columbus Day.
00:38:53.000
If that father, that priest was telling the truth, you're celebrating a monster.
00:38:58.000
You're celebrating literally like a mass murderer who would go to another.
00:39:03.000
I mean, but it's believable when you think about history.
00:39:07.000
You mean everybody conquered everybody at one point or another.
00:39:10.000
Yeah, and when there was no internet, you could get away with a lot.
00:39:20.000
And when you land places, you're like, it was like, this is probably the only time in history where a boat can land in a place and it's not hostile.
00:39:29.000
In America, when boats come here, it's like where you land.
00:39:33.000
But for the most part, most boat travels not hostile.
00:39:36.000
It's like, oh, look, a big boat full of people.
00:39:40.000
And strange people from a different land are going to come and enjoy what we have to offer here in Portugal or wherever you are.
00:40:19.000
No, I'm just saying, like, think about where the people are.
00:40:31.000
And there's an encouragement of men to not be strong, which is always weird.
00:40:44.000
When they're in control of social media, that's where things get weird.
00:40:47.000
The fucking afterlight, I'll tell you, they clipped all the balls from the Jedis.
00:40:52.000
Nobody's going to want an action figure of that fucking little Star Wars.
00:41:03.000
Yeah, they gave him glasses and now he can talk.
00:41:05.000
Now it doesn't even make any sense that you would go back and forth between being the Hulk and being Bruce Banner.
00:41:24.000
It's a weird choice to give a guy role to a girl.
00:41:27.000
It's a weird choice because there's so many girl roles in Super Chick superheroes.
00:41:42.000
There's plenty of different characters you could play.
00:41:49.000
Like Matt Sarah says, I know who you voted for.
00:41:59.000
She was in maybe two episodes where she mattered, and the rest of them, she was mentioned.
00:42:08.000
Did anybody ever do a comic surface flat-out movie that's any good?
00:42:13.000
I thought the first Fantastic Four one, they got the Silver Surfer pretty good in that one.
00:42:29.000
I mean, he basically sacrificed himself to save his planet and his girl.
00:42:33.000
Bro, the Silver Surfer is literally the coolest comic book guy.
00:42:41.000
They did a version of a whole episode of The Avengers or a whole movie of The Avengers on the Silver Surfer.
00:42:52.000
This was when Jessica Alba was the Invisible Woman.
00:43:15.000
When I was chubby, I looked like Michael Chiklitz.
00:43:26.000
But yeah, I saw that new Fantastic Four movie, and it wasn't overly woke or anything, but they could have done more with the thing.
00:43:39.000
They're the ones that did the thing with Galactus at the end.
00:43:44.000
But I am happy to say, and I know you were waiting for me to bring it up.
00:44:00.000
I don't believe I never heard of that song Punk Rocker by Teddy Bears.
00:44:10.000
And the movie, if you like Guardians of the Galaxy, which I'm sure you did, they were good.
00:44:23.000
But it was a little, you know, Snyder's got that darker feeling.
00:44:26.000
It's still kind of weird that we still want to see the same fucking characters over and over and over again in different versions of the same movie.
00:44:37.000
I can understand, but it's like there's a little thing of it that it's like seeking comfort in this thing.
00:44:50.000
Because, like, try coming up with a new Superman today.
00:45:00.000
So you come up with a superhero type character now in a movie.
00:45:12.000
There's like, how many different dudes have been the Hulk?
00:45:21.000
They got rid of him because he wanted to keep the Hulk like the Hulk.
00:45:26.000
Yeah, that was my favorite version of the Hulk.
00:45:30.000
And he's running through the favelas in Brazil.
00:45:35.000
When the Hulk starts running through that factory and he smashes the whole thing.
00:45:41.000
That's when it was like, you kind of knew it was bullshit.
00:45:48.000
But as long as you keep it kind of darkly lit, you know, don't show me too much.
00:45:57.000
That was a superhero that was just out of nowhere.
00:45:59.000
I can't watch anything with this fucking guy anymore.
00:46:03.000
I was about to say, how did you hear him laughing?
00:46:08.000
And this guy's doubling down on smacking Chris Rock.
00:46:15.000
Which is kind of cool saying, but you know, I mean, that was horseshit.
00:46:23.000
And then, I mean, you're basically, he stole our show name because he is a cuck.
00:46:31.000
You saw what the hell his wife has humiliated that poor guy.
00:46:39.000
And he was universally loved, and now he's pretty well almost universally reviled.
00:46:52.000
Sometimes you hit your horse to the wrong wagon.
00:47:00.000
And you might hang in there for a while and keep your sanity for a while.
00:47:05.000
But eventually, if you're living with someone who's not right for you and there's a lot of tension, which there seems to be with them, a lot of weird shit.
00:47:23.000
Imagine if you had to camp out with your best friend for the rest of your life.
00:47:29.000
Like, I have to pick one dude and I'm going to be able to camp out with him for the rest of my life.
00:47:33.000
Just me and him in a tent for the rest of my life.
00:47:41.000
But now you add in sex and the fact that you're not even the same gender.
00:47:47.000
My thing is, I always say, you got to be compatible.
00:48:04.000
That's the only chart with the hot and the crazy chart.
00:48:13.000
You know, so they'll settle for Mr. Good Enough.
00:48:17.000
It's got to be hard for the girls out there, too.
00:48:22.000
It's a weird time, and now everybody's on dating apps.
00:48:25.000
So everybody has a new opportunity at every swipe of the finger.
00:48:31.000
Today it's like socially acceptable to be a hoe.
00:48:33.000
I think it's also, there's real concerns that intelligent people have about population decline.
00:48:42.000
Like, well, we're not going to population decline.
00:48:45.000
But the problem is people are not having nearly as many people, like replacement people.
00:48:50.000
Like, in order for a society to exist at the same numbers, essentially everyone has to have kids.
00:48:56.000
But a giant percentage of people, like in our generation and younger generations, are not having kids.
00:49:01.000
They're deciding to opt out of it and just focus on their career.
00:49:05.000
They say in Italy and here, I mean, Japan, like they're all having a negative population over the years.
00:49:12.000
Like they're not having enough kids to sustain the population.
00:49:15.000
And you add into that microplastics that are killing everybody's balls.
00:49:26.000
You know, we don't see it coming, like real population.
00:49:37.000
If you've got everybody just wants to have a career, and if you can't focus on your career because you have kids, you put your kids off till you're in your late 40s.
00:49:46.000
You know, you have to have 2.1 kids in order to maintain just the current level of population.
00:49:52.000
Someone was telling me that in vitro fertilization, which a lot of women use, that those hormones that they have to give you are linked to cancer.
00:50:05.000
Because someone brought it up to me, and I was like, I don't know if that's really.
00:50:10.000
And why is testosterone in the younger generation not as strong as it used to be?
00:50:17.000
He had a lady on that went deep into that stuff.
00:50:19.000
I mean, there's no strong evidence to say this is AI.
00:50:29.000
National Institute of Health says transient increase in the risk of having breast or uterine cancer.
00:50:35.000
So as soon as you start admitting things like that to me, and this says no conclusive evidence that fertility 1999.
00:50:52.000
Treatments do not increase the risk of ovarian cancer, malignant melanoma, or cancers of the endometrium.
00:51:04.000
Maybe I'm skeptical because you're using Google.
00:51:08.000
Well, I mean, I know, but you know what I'm saying?
00:51:12.000
But I would wonder how much of that would be available.
00:51:16.000
Like if someone's some sort of an alternative doctor or someone who's stepping outside of the lines and saying, I'm treating a bunch of cases of cancer, like where would you even find that guy's work?
00:51:42.000
Because you've got to dose yourself up with a bunch of hormones when ladies do that in vitro fertilization thing.
00:51:51.000
All I know is I like that now at our age, we're all in our 50s.
00:52:09.000
Back in the day, we would just find it on the street.
00:52:17.000
It's like old juice heads were right in a lot of ways.
00:52:21.000
There's a lot of old juice heads in the gym that were looking jacked in their 50s and 60s.
00:52:34.000
You would meet people in the gym that would tell you what they do and how they did it.
00:52:38.000
And then you had to take advice from those folks.
00:52:42.000
You would think by the time a fighter gets to the UFC, you know, like, wow, he's probably got a professional team behind him, a bunch of really organized folks.
00:52:54.000
Like, super sketchy connections to the streets.
00:52:56.000
I just read as much as I could, you know, if you were going to try to get as much information as you could about what you're putting in yourself.
00:53:08.000
I know, but he's like the best first pro scientist.
00:53:18.000
Like, I go to a place that, you know, they check my blood every six weeks.
00:53:24.000
You got to do this and that so it doesn't get too thick, you know?
00:53:28.000
I heard that before, but I don't have that problem for some reason.
00:53:32.000
I think it doesn't, you know, every once in a while doesn't do it to everybody.
00:53:36.000
No, I was recommended to check it a bunch of times.
00:53:49.000
They check me, and if it gets too high, my red blood cells or whatever they do.
00:53:52.000
So you're just getting the finger prick to see what you're doing.
00:53:54.000
Yeah, they take a little blood out and then they check it, and then they check all my everything.
00:54:00.000
Like, if you go donate blood, they fucking prick your finger and check what your level is.
00:54:05.000
Well, my place finds out first, and then they say, all right, I could either do a dump there, but they don't use the blood.
00:54:11.000
I like to donate it because I feel better about blood.
00:54:36.000
Some of these countries weren't letting you in without it.
00:54:39.000
Yeah, yeah, they wouldn't let us in without it.
00:54:41.000
When you fucking make someone take something because the only way they could use your service is if they take, because you think that this thing is going to work and it doesn't work, shouldn't you be able to go, fuck you?
00:54:53.000
You made me take this and this thing didn't even work.
00:54:59.000
It's crazy what you can get away with in the world, especially during something like a pandemic, you know, where everybody just agrees to different rules.
00:55:06.000
Because that's what happened during the pandemic.
00:55:15.000
So there's people that are dying and they also have COVID.
00:55:21.000
And that's why the numbers for the deaths were elevated so high.
00:55:34.000
Because they were financially incentivized people to treat deaths as COVID does.
00:55:40.000
They were getting more money if they had somebody put on a ventilator.
00:55:43.000
And then they find out the ventilators were killing people.
00:55:48.000
Like, you know, when we were saying we hope that someone is in charge that knows exactly what to do.
00:55:53.000
And no, there's a lot of times in history you have no idea what the fuck they're doing.
00:56:00.000
And then they come up with, we're going to just make everybody take this.
00:56:17.000
Because they called it a vaccine, but it's not even really a vaccine.
00:56:20.000
It's a totally novel new thing that you're giving to 300 million people just in this country alone.
00:56:27.000
Like, I'd be in my car and it'd be like two students talking.
00:56:31.000
Like, my parents don't want me to take it, but I'm really nervous.
00:56:39.000
You know how many people have stories where they let their kid take it and then the kid has a stroke?
00:56:50.000
Yeah, there's undiagnosed myocarditis out there too, I bet, where people just feel tired all the time, feel a little fatigued.
00:57:03.000
Jamie survived it early, so I knew I knew it was not that big a deal.
00:57:23.000
The creepy thing is these motherfuckers, they meet and then they say, oh, there will be another pandemic.
00:57:30.000
Well, what about Biden and friends were trying to sign one with the WHO where they had control over being able to shut the U.S. down and all this nonsense.
00:57:40.000
Thank God we pulled right the fuck out of that.
00:57:51.000
Let these motherfuckers run the country because Bill Gates is a core one.
00:58:02.000
Before I got here, I was watching fucking Comzat versus Kamar Uzman.
00:58:13.000
You know, I had Drake's on Unfiltered the other day.
00:58:21.000
And he was just saying about everybody talks about how aggressive Comzat is.
00:58:25.000
And he goes, watch his fight in Kamar Uzman in the second round.
00:58:31.000
He's like, he's not going to be able to do that to me.
00:58:34.000
He trains so fucking hard that he puts out everything in that five minutes.
00:58:40.000
It's almost like he approaches that at like five different fights.
00:58:44.000
Because in that one minute, he comes back down and then he goes back out there again, Dracis.
00:58:48.000
And we were just talking that we saw, you saw the same thing I saw with his grappling ability.
00:58:53.000
He took out a whole I mean, listen, it's different.
00:59:02.000
It's a different type of style, but that was impressive.
00:59:04.000
Not to mention, and I looked, you know, my producers gave me his bio and everything.
00:59:09.000
And I'm like, dude, he started his first thing in the first entry into martial arts was at five years old doing judo.
00:59:15.000
And his second discipline was at 12 years old doing wrestling.
00:59:20.000
Everybody's just so used to him fucking throwing his bombs and his kicks.
00:59:29.000
And there's guys, and you know this because you work with Murab.
00:59:33.000
There's guys that reach this level of discipline and they achieve a level of cardiovascular performance that's just above everybody else's, and then they maintain it.
00:59:42.000
Like they get that advantage and they keep pushing it and they slowly keep adding on to it.
00:59:46.000
Like you're seeing Murab now, particularly in the second O'Malley fight.
01:00:07.000
But the amount of hard work is extraordinary to get to that level.
01:00:11.000
And I think Dricus is kind of a similar kind of guy.
01:00:15.000
I think that dude works so hard that he can go out there and fight full blast, which is what's weird to when you watch him fight.
01:00:26.000
He looks like he's mouth-breathing, but he just keeps the same thing.
01:00:28.000
That was a lot of that was the earlier fights before he got his nose fixed.
01:00:34.000
Changed everything and then went on a tear after that.
01:00:48.000
To watch him just flatten him like that, you're like, whoa.
01:00:52.000
He says he goes, I don't, he's like, I don't have a great polka face.
01:00:55.000
He goes, people say I look tired because I am tired.
01:00:58.000
And when you get tired, you breathe out of your mouth more.
01:01:00.000
And he goes, but even if I am tired, I don't have a poker face, but I'm still coming forward.
01:01:05.000
And he has, he's got, man, he's got confidence.
01:01:20.000
And, you know, it seemed like Izzy had an advantage up to a point, but then the pressure got to him.
01:01:26.000
Then he got hit with a couple of those long shots.
01:01:29.000
And it just looked like he just didn't have enough in him to fight his way out of it.
01:01:33.000
And when he went down, he got submitted pretty quickly afterwards.
01:01:36.000
But I would wonder what Izzy in his prime, how that fight would have looked.
01:01:44.000
A lot, you know, Izzy in his prime when he was, you know, he was a little quicker, a little bit more angles.
01:02:07.000
Yeah, I mean, put him away quick and then dry humped him.
01:02:15.000
But that is the that would have been very interesting to see him versus Dricus because he could have handled that pressure.
01:02:21.000
Because that pressure, the pressure is bananas.
01:02:24.000
You know, like Anthony and Hernandez fight last week.
01:02:30.000
Man, I was like, you couldn't keep up with him, dude.
01:02:46.000
I didn't see it yet, but I watched it as soon as I got home.
01:02:50.000
And that whole division is like, Jesus, there's so many different contenders in that division.
01:03:02.000
Strickland, like, what's going to happen with Strickland?
01:03:04.000
They suspended him indefinitely for punching some dude.
01:03:11.000
Him and Chris Curtis, man, they just, man, you can't fuck with them.
01:03:18.000
Yeah, and you can't, but you can't jump into a cage and punch.
01:03:24.000
That guy was being a little disrespectful, though.
01:03:34.000
He's like, you know, he doesn't have anything on the mic.
01:03:52.000
You ever see when that guy tried to, well, the guy who was like running from the cops and he was sneaking around his house.
01:03:59.000
The dude had like crashed DUI and then jumped out of the car running into the wrong fucking yard right into strong Sean Strickland.
01:04:08.000
I mean, a lot of times now, though, waiting to shoot somebody, bro.
01:04:15.000
Yeah, but you know, nowadays with that guy and being disrespectful like that, there's just so everybody's so used to no repercussions.
01:04:21.000
It's like, yeah, so everybody just gets so much ruder.
01:04:33.000
I mean, that would help because this just sucks when a guy who is into martial arts like Strickland does something.
01:04:41.000
I told them a story last night where Long goes like, yeah, this kid wants to do an interview.
01:04:53.000
So after a Saturday class, I got like 60 people.
01:04:57.000
My nights aren't great because my ulcerative colitis, but you know, I'm energetic.
01:05:02.000
I do this thing for this kid, 12-year-old kid, and the mother's like, oh, we want to inspire the youth of today because they're all little shit.
01:05:13.000
I'm like, all right, you know, he goes, okay, I'm here with freaking UFC legend Matt Sarah, and I'm 12 years old, and yet we managed to be the same exact height.
01:05:25.000
I got fucking, I got, I got blindstarted by this little fuck.
01:05:29.000
So now, and when he said that, the husband and the wife are the husbands behind the cat.
01:05:39.000
Oh, they're like, in other words, they want a response.
01:05:42.000
So I'm like, so my first thought was directed towards the father who might have taught this kid no matter.
01:05:51.000
I wanted to see more than the fucking Loki and that motherfucker.
01:05:56.000
So then I remembered that I got my daughters in there.
01:06:02.000
I go, oh, so I go, who came up with that question, bud?
01:06:10.000
And then I remembered my three daughters are in there.
01:06:21.000
On my Instagram, this kid wanted clicks, 38,000 views of my.
01:06:28.000
Hello, my daughter, strangled the fuck out of this kid.
01:06:57.000
And then after my daughter said, I go, you want to stop from the feet or throw the foot on the knees?
01:07:04.000
Then I go, I pull him, pull him on top, pull him, and go out.
01:07:08.000
I just, I go, you're going to make any more short jokes, cameras.
01:07:35.000
If you think about like the industry of like trying to keep bodies together, what industry, what sport provides more patience than jiu-jitsu?
01:07:46.000
Like, everybody, you know, like, if you think about it, when you get to a certain point and you've been training for a certain amount of time, you're going to get fucking banged up.
01:07:54.000
Like, what sport benefits more from like guys in their 40s and 50s, like peptides and stems?
01:08:03.000
Jiu-Jitsu brings a lot of patience because everybody's hurt.
01:08:09.000
Regular 40-year-old dudes aren't hurt all the time.
01:08:19.000
40-year-old jiu-jitsu guys, everybody's knees are fucked up.
01:08:35.000
And then just to feel like Gordon Ryan, I jump on the old men.
01:08:44.000
Sometimes when it's less than 20, I'll do like my old school jiu-jitsu gang fight.
01:08:56.000
Everybody's breaking their backs, jumping on backs.
01:08:58.000
But when one team, no lower body submissions, could be two-on-one, three-on-one.
01:09:04.000
It stops when one team submits the whole other team.
01:09:07.000
So we got these old men in there, like, they're jumping on back.
01:09:13.000
It reminds me of the Twilight Zone movie when they play Kick the Kid.
01:09:16.000
They're like little kids up there like talking about.
01:09:18.000
They have such a good time practicing murdering each other.
01:09:23.000
It's making it novel like that, making it like a team thing.
01:09:30.000
If you're training partners, the biggest thing out of an academy is the atmosphere, as you know.
01:09:35.000
So I make sure I pluck guys out on a fucking every month.
01:09:37.000
Somebody comes in, I don't like, all right, keep you a couple hundred dollars, get the fuck out of here.
01:09:42.000
It all comes down from the attitude of the people that are running the place.
01:09:47.000
Yo, do you ever show up at a random jiu-jitsu school and just pop in?
01:09:54.000
I've had a reoccurring knee issue and a reoccurring lower back issue that I'm trying to get right before I do anything stupid again.
01:10:10.000
I was able to throw my right hand again, which I used to wave like fucking this.
01:10:14.000
And now I'm just, I'm so happy I'm able to do it again.
01:10:16.000
Bring it back to the Kamaro fight with Chimaev.
01:10:27.000
And now that CPI in Tijuana is a closer, closer trek.
01:10:38.000
Eddie Bravo's been down there multiple times, but I know a lot of UFC fighters that have been down there.
01:10:49.000
But for, hey, the food down there was fucking delicious.
01:10:52.000
Went out there with my Jedi Abe and fucking, he took me into town.
01:10:58.000
I was, and I'm just, again, South America knows how to do it.
01:11:09.000
He was in a fucking wheelchair getting rolled around.
01:11:13.000
No, just for that trip because he was getting the breaker.
01:11:21.000
Yeah, you got at home, my Muay Thai coach at home, Vince Mosky, Thai program.
01:11:29.000
I tried them fucking Zins, and now I'm addicted to them.
01:11:35.000
And like I said, I was like wondering what it was going to feel like.
01:11:41.000
I just think it's, I think it might be a biological thing.
01:11:44.000
You know, some people, cigarettes, just get them and they just want to smoke cigarettes every day.
01:11:52.000
I think some people could just stop taking nicotine and they seem to be all right.
01:12:01.000
I just shoot a couple of those with my espresso and a seltzer in the morning.
01:12:12.000
You don't have a good connection between your movement.
01:12:18.000
You don't notice it when you're talking because it is a stimulant.
01:12:37.000
But I'm still on that alpha brain, so that's all the.
01:13:01.000
We both think that DDP can pull this out and win it.
01:13:10.000
Yeah, I could see him going either way in this fight.
01:13:13.000
But if we look at it, I mean, his two toughest opponents, save for Whitaker, who went in there with a broken face and got it broke the rest of the way.
01:13:24.000
You know, Gilbert won 70, and maybe Gilbert won that one.
01:13:41.000
If he's making 70 all the time and going to 85, now you're fighting a dude that walks at 230, so he's not going to have a big strength advantage over him.
01:13:53.000
But I just think that Drickus is going to be able to weather the storm and then come out the other side and it's going to be a problem.
01:14:02.000
And if Kamzat comes in, people are talking about him fighting at a slower pace.
01:14:08.000
And if he fights at a slower pace, I think that plays into Drickus's hands because it will allow him to make it move forward and pressure him and the thing.
01:14:17.000
So it's going to be interesting to see if it gets into deep water.
01:14:21.000
That's what's going to be interesting because I know he started training with Cala Vita.
01:14:27.000
Yeah, he went to Sam Calavita, who trained TJ Dillishaw.
01:14:38.000
I believe with cardio too, part of it is your mental, your mindset, like with pushing through the tired.
01:14:45.000
And, you know, we were talking a little last night, and, you know, Kamzat's a bad motherfucker.
01:14:57.000
Armand Sarukian, who also just pulled out of a fight.
01:15:02.000
But Armand said the problem was Hamzat overtrained for every fight, and he would always come into fights worn out.
01:15:09.000
And that was the difference between working with Cala Vita.
01:15:15.000
They're making sure they're doing everything scientifically.
01:15:28.000
Nobody knows more about cardio than cyclers because it's all cardio.
01:15:37.000
They know how to recover, and they know what's your threshold, like where you should be.
01:15:44.000
And he's like, this is the first time he's ever been through a camp like this where he's coming in fresh, where he's not overtrained.
01:15:51.000
And my question is, too, if he gets in a bad spot, is he going to push through it?
01:16:03.000
But Drake has even said in that fight, how he started strong.
01:16:08.000
He was counting how many minutes he was just standing in front of him.
01:16:17.000
He goes for three minutes and whatever seconds he was just standing in front of him.
01:16:22.000
Kamaro was coming on strong in that third round.
01:16:25.000
If that was a five-round fight, I bet the betting would shift.
01:16:34.000
In the third round, it was all Usman, I thought.
01:16:37.000
Yeah, I mean, but it is impressive the way that motherfucker can shoot from halfway across the octagon.
01:16:48.000
Well, I've known him since he's a little kid, and he was in Kamzat's camp and said, like, he said his wrestling, he goes, wrestling is like real good.
01:16:59.000
Like, he talked about, he said, we probably both did better with each other than you would think.
01:17:02.000
Like, he did better with wrestling, and I did better with Jiu-Jitsu.
01:17:06.000
He said, but he said, like, he said the guy's a beast.
01:17:09.000
He said he's strong, said he's, and he said he's a high-level wrestler.
01:17:14.000
And, you know, they asked Shaab, they asked Shabb to spar with him.
01:17:24.000
And he said Hamzat was just lighting people up.
01:17:42.000
He's, you know, people forget because what he did to Kevin Holland, the way he could ragdoll guys on the ground.
01:17:47.000
But what he did to Gerald Merschart is pretty fucking spooky.
01:18:03.000
That's where I want to see because duplicity makes everybody look stupid.
01:18:15.000
But someone did a great breakdown of what he did with Robert Whitaker, where he set up that right hook.
01:18:20.000
And the way he was recognizing that Whitaker had this certain pattern.
01:18:25.000
And it's not like it looks weird because he just moves different than everybody else.
01:18:34.000
And when he hits you, it's like he can't hit by a car.
01:18:40.000
He's got to have power to make guys so nervous about getting hit by him.
01:18:44.000
He looks like a fucking heavyweight when you're next to him.
01:18:51.000
The thing that I, that comes that I keep thinking about is like, when's the last time he actually, though, fought a guy with Comzat style?
01:18:59.000
I mean, who's ever, who's trying to shoot on him?
01:19:01.000
Besides, maybe there was a Derek Brunson or something.
01:19:03.000
But when's the last time he fought a guy that's just going to be no one has a Hamzat style in the UFC?
01:19:14.000
Like, he's not in there saying, my wrestling, I'm stuffing him.
01:19:17.000
He said, I'm going to get taken down, but I'm going to weather the storm and I'm going to be able to get back up.
01:19:21.000
And I'm going to devise a strong warm-up in a rubber suit.
01:19:33.000
If you don't want to cheat, you can bend the rules because it's not cheating.
01:19:37.000
I mean, when he gets on top of somebody, man, you definitely don't see guys getting him off of you.
01:19:42.000
Well, when you got a guy who's got, I mean, that actually might not be a bad idea.
01:19:54.000
Whitaker was defending okay when he was down there.
01:19:57.000
Well, I mean, everybody remembers his teeth getting shattered, but before that, likely he would have survived because Kamaro survived it too, right?
01:20:07.000
Unless he just, like, what he did to Kevin Holland was kind of crazy.
01:20:21.000
You got to have a decent guard because he don't like it.
01:20:23.000
When Gilbert started moving his hips, he said, nah, I'm out of here.
01:20:26.000
Gilbert's actually really world-class Jiu-Jitsu.
01:20:33.000
You know, it was interesting watching him roll with Rockhold because I know that, you know, it's not like Rockhold was in camp and prepared for this and this is Rockhold at its best.
01:20:42.000
I don't even know how much he had been training, but Hamza just handled him.
01:20:52.000
Listen, what's so exciting about it is there's a chance he could just take him down and do what he everybody else.
01:20:57.000
Because he's so good on the floor and he comes out so aggressive.
01:21:02.000
But if he survives it, you know, history shows.
01:21:07.000
And Does he have the confidence to go for it and possibly empty the gas tank and get the finish?
01:21:24.000
You can't adjust now in the world championship fight.
01:21:29.000
Instinct's going to kick in, and he is a sprinter.
01:21:33.000
But that's the question: is can he sprint for five rounds?
01:21:37.000
Him and Stean Strickland, they were ready to have heart attacks at the end of that fight.
01:21:42.000
He's probably like the most elevated heart level we've ever seen in a world championship fight.
01:22:23.000
It was the Umar fight, which was crazy because there was pace that melted Umar, and he's doing it while he's on the NFL.
01:22:33.000
There was times he wasn't sleeping through the night.
01:22:40.000
They think they're just going to run through Corey.
01:22:58.000
Well, he, I mean, Murab could have had leg amputated.
01:23:10.000
He said, oh, he was just taping it up and going back to practice.
01:23:17.000
Someone close to Murab told me that regular people would have probably had their leg amputated if they had to deal with the staph infection that he had on his leg.
01:23:25.000
He was just like taping it up and going, I don't believe that.
01:23:33.000
They don't just randomly amputate people's legs.
01:23:37.000
It said he had broken his hand early in the fight.
01:23:42.000
He said he broke my back in training camp, but some days I couldn't get up from the bed.
01:23:50.000
I don't have a Khabib Nubra Gabetov to help me train.
01:23:59.000
The security goes, I'm sorry, we can't let you go in.
01:24:08.000
But there's also something about dudes that are from that part of the world.
01:24:19.000
I just had him on my pod, and we were talking for over an hour about his whole journey.
01:24:24.000
And dude, when he came over, he did not see him.
01:24:29.000
I could because I have a way, but he didn't speak any English.
01:24:32.000
When I see him doing the skits now, the chicken banana.
01:24:42.000
And now he goes back to his to Georgia, just have the chariots next to him.
01:24:49.000
It makes me so happy, man, because you've seen his whole journey.
01:24:51.000
When he first came to New York, he was got linked up with fucking retards.
01:24:58.000
And thank God he went into Longo at the head of Racy Academy.
01:25:07.000
If you don't know where to go and you wind up at a real bad camp and then they claim you forever.
01:25:26.000
You and Longo without a doubt need a reality show.
01:25:30.000
Some sort of reality show with you two guys coaching people and then going to dinner with the sucking shit.
01:25:36.000
I fucking love it when you guys, I would really love it when you guys were, you know, in the corners when you get mic'd up.
01:25:51.000
I told him last night when he's on your podcast, he's the best.
01:26:11.000
Like, if I was a television producer, I'm like, that is a no-brainer.
01:26:19.000
Paramount Plus, new merger, whatever was happening.
01:26:27.000
You and Ray Longo, Paramount Plus, going to pizza places, talking shit.
01:26:35.000
Going to the fights, like talking about your fight.
01:27:09.000
All I'm doing is you can find me at my school or my podcast, and that's every channel on YouTube.
01:27:20.000
And then, dude, I'm having, dude, I do movie reactions.
01:27:34.000
And then I have people in, like I had Marab and I, oh, I had Keith Jardine the other day.
01:27:46.000
Me and my wife went to Tribeca for the, and I saw Tate.
01:27:57.000
And it's almost this movie, Kill Me Again, right?
01:28:02.000
And it's basically Groundhog Day, but a serial killer.
01:28:07.000
It was, I mean, listen, I wouldn't even bring it up if I thought it was shit, to be honest.
01:28:40.000
He goes to jail, kind of like, you know, white-collared.
01:29:04.000
But was he an actual bounty hunter in real life?
01:29:16.000
He was more of a grappler than he was even a striker.
01:29:20.000
Jardine worked as a personal trainer, firefighter, football coach, minor, and bounty hunter.
01:29:26.000
That's two of the hardest fucking human beings that have ever lived.
01:29:37.000
I asked him if he ever, because I said, you know, sometimes I'm at a UFC thing and they'll go, oh, yeah.
01:29:48.000
I asked him, I go, look, I go, you got to answer this for me because have you ever been mistaken for the techno-viking?
01:30:07.000
Jamie pointed out that that might have been staged.
01:30:16.000
Jamie does not like the wool being pulled over his eyes, so he thinks that everything is staged.
01:30:26.000
Hey, it's already questionable that's being filmed.
01:30:50.000
He's probably got one of them cruising doses in his system.
01:30:53.000
He's got his minions behind him carrying his bottle.
01:31:03.000
Well, he looks like the 21st century version of it.
01:31:09.000
The original Vikings probably looked like those strongmen dudes that you see coming out of Iceland.
01:31:20.000
Bro, who's that guy, that Viking dude that fights in Welterway?
01:31:44.000
Jamie, could you go to Chaos Williams Wikipedia, look up his MMA career?
01:32:16.000
And what you should see, go to Andreas Gustafson Workout.
01:32:30.000
Like, when you see some of the shit he's doing, the amount of strength that this guy has, you're like, oh, Jesus.
01:32:36.000
Like, there's guys that are not that big, right?
01:32:40.000
Like, you know, see that janitor who pulls pranks on Instagram, who walks up to these big meetings and lifts up the stuff.
01:32:49.000
But these super strong dudes who practice powerlifting, you can be incredibly strong and not look like a bodybuilder.
01:33:08.000
When he gets a hold of guys, he's just ragdolling people.
01:33:12.000
You know, Chaos has been very consistent in his career with good takedown defense.
01:33:17.000
He knows how to fight guys off, dangerous striker.
01:33:22.000
It was like one-sided ass whooping, like a real one-sided ass whooping that I didn't expect.
01:33:30.000
I was like, that is, I thought it'd be a good fight.
01:33:40.000
He puts guys out with one shot, but this dude just tucks his chin down and wades bombs at you until he gets a grip on you and then just starts throwing you around.
01:33:54.000
I'll tell you who's the dark horse in that division.
01:34:04.000
People aren't talking about him enough, though.
01:34:15.000
I had him on, and he's like, you know, people always talking about me being short for wealth to wade.
01:34:38.000
Well, you know, I would love to see him fight for the title.
01:34:46.000
Like with Jack Della, like, who's next after if Jack Della and Islam fight, which seems to be exactly what's going to happen, who's next after that?
01:35:10.000
Real close fight, but that one loss set him back a little bit.
01:35:15.000
But, you know, I bet they're going to want Bilal to fight somebody else.
01:35:27.000
The numbers don't mean that's the fight that gets made.
01:35:32.000
I think Sean Brady's only the only problem, the only one loss he has is from Bilal, right?
01:35:36.000
Can you put that back up, Jamie, so I can see who else is in there?
01:35:40.000
So it's like, if you look at that division, you know, that division has gone through so many different changes.
01:35:47.000
So you've got Shavcott, who just had some kind of surgery that's undisclosed, right?
01:35:52.000
We don't know what injury he's recovered from, but he had like a pretty significant injury, apparently.
01:36:01.000
Michael Morales is the real dark horse of that division.
01:36:07.000
Yeah, that looked like Gilbert just didn't belong in there.
01:36:32.000
I'll tell you, nowadays, I can't even watch some jiu-jitsu matches.
01:36:35.000
I watch, it's just fucking a lot of scissoring and I'll tell you what, man.
01:36:38.000
I was blown away by Kamaru versus Joaquim Buckley.
01:36:48.000
He looked like if Joaquin was challenging Kamaru for the title, that's the Kamaru that you would expect to see.
01:37:02.000
Like, you didn't seem hampered by his knees, all the things that people talk about.
01:37:05.000
And that's what we thought it was going to seem.
01:37:06.000
We thought it was an old-ass man with them bad knees.
01:37:10.000
And I think, you know, it's a lot of it is mental strength, of sure.
01:37:13.000
But it's also like he hasn't really taken a lot of damage other than the big high kick from Leon.
01:37:19.000
And, you know, if you go and you watch his fights, he had a pretty good war with Colby before he won.
01:37:32.000
But overall, not a lot of damage in his career.
01:37:41.000
I thought it was good to see him go back to his wrestling roots a little bit.
01:37:45.000
A lot of times the wrestlers get good with their hands and all of a sudden they forget about what got him to the show and he just straight manhandled it.
01:37:52.000
Yeah, he did, but he also looked good on the feet, man.
01:38:00.000
Sean Brady looked great in his last fight with his hands too.
01:38:04.000
And to do that to Leon, well, you know, Leon knows he can't lose again.
01:38:08.000
He lost the title and he wants to come back and get it back.
01:38:12.000
And now all of a sudden you got this turtle shell motherfucker in front of you.
01:38:25.000
I wonder how much of that would be because he's still super valuable.
01:38:30.000
Yeah, because if you're a guy, why kick him out?
01:38:33.000
If you're a guy like Shovcot and they offer you Colby, you know, in the main event of a fight night or something like that.
01:38:54.000
I'm more of a socialist when it comes to that shit.
01:39:28.000
Yeah, I'm always giving myself mind mints and all that shit, and I'm still stupid.
01:39:36.000
So they used to get the money from pay-per-view, right?
01:39:38.000
So if you're a guy like Conor McGregor that's going to get 2 million pay-per-views, you get a percentage of that, and you're set for life, right?
01:39:53.000
He did say, I did hear him saying he's up in the fight night.
01:39:59.000
The low-hanging fruit, that's easiest to answer.
01:40:05.000
And forget about the tide rising with all the other fighters.
01:40:08.000
Just the number the bonuses bring to a fighter, it's millions of dollars.
01:40:13.000
Okay, so then there's a bonus structure like if that many people watch your thing, you get millions of dollars.
01:40:27.000
Do you think people are going to sign up for Paramount Plus if you get free UFCs forever?
01:40:39.000
All of Taylor Sheridan's shows are all Paramount shows.
01:40:48.000
We were talking about the problems with this and the problems with that.
01:40:51.000
But I need to ask him this weekend in Chicago if it's true that the Netflix people wanted to stop the fights in the Apex.
01:41:06.000
One of the best heavyweight fights of all time in terms of like the result was Francis Ngano versus Steve Miocic with no crowd at all in the Apex in the small ring.
01:41:19.000
You want to watch a guy in his prime who's fucking terrified, who's figured it all out versus a guy who's got, he's a legend, he's a champion, but he's got a lot of miles on him and there's a lot of wars.
01:41:33.000
You're hearing the huff and huff of each breath.
01:41:36.000
Every time Francis hits him, you fucking feel that thud in your cells.
01:41:48.000
I mean, I really believe that the smaller cage just forces more action.
01:41:54.000
I always wanted her to stay with downsize the arena cage because of the quality of the fights that was in the smaller cage.
01:42:02.000
The problem with that is, like, when you got a guy that is just very footwork-based and has developed his style, you're fucking large.
01:42:11.000
He's developed his style based on his ability to move around a full-size cage.
01:42:16.000
The Netflix thing is from a troll account, I think.
01:42:22.000
Well, who knows why they decided to not do it, but man, whoever gets the UFC and does the no pay-per-view model, you just gained millions of subscribers instantaneously.
01:42:38.000
Because everybody's going to get every pay-per-view now for free.
01:42:40.000
You're going to be scrolling through the channels like, oh, let's see who's fighting.
01:42:43.000
I wonder how much money I'll save a year and then save me 80 a month or two.
01:42:48.000
You know, you tune it in and you watch one Alex Pereira high kick knockout.
01:42:55.000
And then the next time it's on, you're like, oh, the UFC's on.
01:43:00.000
I mean, it's the most exciting to this average spectator because you don't have to know anything.
01:43:06.000
You have to know shit to watch guys just go to war.
01:43:16.000
At 7.7, they probably was like, nah, we're good.
01:43:21.000
Well, Paramount's giving them a billion dollars a year for seven years.
01:43:48.000
Kissy Jitters is a real thing, and Murphy is no joke.
01:43:55.000
And if Aaron wants to be a boxer, this kid is really explosive on his feet, Murphy.
01:44:00.000
Murphy is he does, but he don't use it enough, I don't believe.
01:44:03.000
Murphy, to me, is very much like Leon Edwards in his prime at 145.
01:44:09.000
Strong everywhere, super technical, doesn't make any mistakes.
01:44:18.000
Leon could kind of cruise at times where I think Murphy's looking to finish you.
01:44:35.000
They said three weeks might be too much time because he's ready all the time.
01:44:39.000
Well, this is the word out of that part, that camp, is that that guy's always training, which is what you want to see from a guy like that who's undefeated and also not getting the shine that a lot of other guys in that division are getting.
01:44:51.000
There's so many good guys in that division, you know, and Ilio is such a star that everybody with Volkanovsky in there, Yair, and everybody kind of got lost.
01:45:08.000
I'm not listed on the website as the co-main, but I thought it was.
01:45:20.000
It's interesting because Pico is really good, man.
01:45:24.000
But I would have liked to see him against someone, you know, to establish a name for himself.
01:45:29.000
I thought he had a really good shot at beating Mozar.
01:45:32.000
Well, Mozart is crazy because the grappling for Mozar is just off the charts, but you're not dealing with the kind of kicks that you're dealing with with Murphy.
01:45:40.000
With Murphy, he's going to chop you up on the outside.
01:45:43.000
And if you're heavy on that front leg because you like boxing, like, ooh, a couple of those calf kicks, change everything.
01:46:00.000
The only cooker round ended with Mozar on top, but he was dominating that.
01:46:05.000
But it was close, but I thought Al Joe was close as well.
01:46:10.000
But that's a good fight for Pico because Pico's an elite grappler, and he's got real dangerous hands.
01:46:19.000
It would have been an interesting fight for him.
01:46:22.000
This is a different fight, and I think a more dangerous fight in a lot of ways just because of his style.
01:46:31.000
And again, he's one of those guys that is way better than his public persona.
01:47:06.000
That John Silva guy looks like a world champion.
01:47:15.000
Bro, what he did to Bryce Mitchell was just, he sent him down.
01:47:20.000
You made yourself lightheaded barking out at the wolf earlier.
01:47:29.000
He just knew it was a matter of time and then submitted him and put him to sleep.
01:47:33.000
What's funny about that is Bryce Mitchell, who just went down in weight, looked great.
01:47:42.000
Bulk way up and cut down, which is what most of these guys are doing.
01:47:51.000
Right, because he was never like real ripped at 45.
01:48:13.000
But, you know, John Silva is just a different thing, man.
01:48:19.000
And I thought he would have gave Ilya a problem.
01:48:22.000
I think if Ilya stayed down and he fought John Silva, I thought that was going to be a problem for Ilya.
01:48:32.000
Like, Ilya does not throw a whole lot of kicks, and most of them are to the legs, right?
01:48:38.000
I mean, he might do that just because we're talking shit right now.
01:48:42.000
But what Ilya does do is he touches you, and that's what Ferrazza Hobby calls the touch of death.
01:48:49.000
When he did that shit to Charles, I was like, I can't even believe I'm seeing this.
01:49:10.000
Remember, he's telling Lee Fregno at breakfast.
01:49:19.000
Ilya had to go out there and knock out Charles Oliver with one punch.
01:49:28.000
Man, I saw, like I said, I saw footage of him and Murab wrestling.
01:49:34.000
And I didn't see anybody get caught in this video, but Ilya just seemed to be one step ahead in the wrestling exchanges, you know.
01:49:52.000
He trains each sport individually, and then he puts them all together.
01:50:01.000
So he trains with elite Jiu-Jitsu guys, elite wrestlers.
01:50:03.000
He wrestles with elite wrestlers, boxes with elite boxers, does everything, and then puts it all together himself.
01:50:15.000
You go there and you have everybody's doing MMA.
01:50:19.000
He's like entering into jiu-jitsu spaces, training there, entering into boxing spaces.
01:50:24.000
I think it's because of that, like we all know that the boxing and boxing is at a higher level than the boxing in the UFC.
01:50:31.000
There's no way to be as good as David Benavidez if you're not boxing your whole fucking life and doing it every day and only doing that.
01:50:39.000
There's no way you're not going to be as good as that.
01:50:43.000
But if you can get more closer to that by training with them and only training with them, you get Ilya Taburia.
01:50:58.000
But man, the discipline you have to have to do all those things with the same kind of intensity and then put it all together.
01:51:06.000
Well, I mean, he's got a very like he's, and that's the benefit of not having like this big camp doing it all.
01:51:12.000
Like when you're just by yourself and everybody around you is helping you get to these places and do those things, it's a huge benefit.
01:51:20.000
And it's also like today we know what everybody else can do too.
01:51:24.000
Like if you're at a certain level like Illya is already, you know your abilities, like you don't necessarily have to be in a camp where there's a bunch of people.
01:51:36.000
You know which guys you have to bring in for sparring partners.
01:51:41.000
That way you're not dealing with all these dudes in the locker room that maybe you got beef with and Colby's talking shit about your girlfriend and you're just trying to use the sawdust.
01:51:54.000
It's like, there's something to be said for them really small camps.
01:51:58.000
Yeah, I think, you know, as we move forward and evolve, man, I think that's the direction it's going.
01:52:03.000
Like all the big guys are going to be like, yeah, for sure.
01:52:05.000
Could you imagine Floyd Mayweather in class with everybody else?
01:52:12.000
Like, that shit ain't happening with a blue belt in jiu-jitsu class.
01:52:18.000
Yeah, I mean, and most of those guys would take their camps outside.
01:52:26.000
A lot of these guys, they would go somewhere, go to Big Bear.
01:52:38.000
Personally, I'm a big Crawford fan, so I'm going to lean his way.
01:52:46.000
It didn't look like Terrence's power transferred in the last fight, so Modrom up some more.
01:52:52.000
Part of the problem with that is Modromov is really good.
01:52:56.000
But I just think Crawford is weird to say against Canelo, but I think he's the better boxer, and I think he's the guy who can make the better in-fight adjustments if Canelo doesn't kill him.
01:53:11.000
You know, it's a big jump to go from 54, which was a step up for 47.
01:53:22.000
But Terrence is, I think he's the best switch hitter since Hagler.
01:53:27.000
I mean, they claim he's walking around like a buck 90 or something.
01:53:42.000
He came on this podcast more than a year ago, and he was talking about that.
01:53:48.000
So he's been trying to get that fight for a long time.
01:53:50.000
So knowing after he beat Errol Spence that he wasn't ever going to fight at that weight again and then going up fighting Madrimov and then knowing he's got like at least a year before he fights Alvarez.
01:54:11.000
And then, you know, there's a bunch of great breakdown videos of particularly the Errol Spence fight, like him setting traps.
01:54:17.000
It's just, he's a very high-level guy, but Canelo is dangerous.
01:54:36.000
Yeah, Terrence, they rented out the Apex for a while.
01:55:02.000
Well, that makes sense because the UFC is co-provolved.
01:55:08.000
I saw, like, you know, buy the Canelo Crawford fight.
01:55:14.000
And then I was like, oh, yeah, Dana is involved with this.
01:55:19.000
It's because it's like, I wonder how that's going to affect combat sports.
01:55:26.000
I mean, if the UFC model gets, if they start making fights that people want, like, there's a lot of fights that people just want.
01:55:33.000
Like, if David Benavidez and Canelo Alvarez were in the UFC, that would be the fight to make.
01:55:46.000
Like, it can't be, I'm going to do something else.
01:55:51.000
They've got to change their culture, though, you know, because a loss in boxing means a lot more than a loss in MMA.
01:55:58.000
Like, the MMA fans are more accepting, especially if the fight was good, where in boxing, their whole role is to build you to 20 so they can get you title fights.
01:56:07.000
And they're finding people for you along the way.
01:56:10.000
Well, Canelo lost to Bival, and he lost to Floyd, and I don't think it really damaged him that much.
01:56:15.000
Well, Floyd, he was at that time, Floyd was the superstar.
01:56:19.000
So I think it probably, I mean, you know, Floyd jumped him at the right time.
01:56:22.000
And Bival, like, I mean, again, Canelo was doing his thing, moving up in weed and things of that sort.
01:56:29.000
As far as business model, I wonder if he's going to, with Dana involved, like, the problem with boxing is nobody gives a shit about the undercard.
01:56:38.000
Is it possible for him to make it as exciting as a UFC where he's got the whole lineup where his fights you want to see?
01:56:45.000
Is there that many boxes out there that oh, yeah, for sure?
01:56:50.000
And that's one of the things that they're doing with those Riyadh series fights.
01:56:56.000
And I think that's where it gets all into the legislation and all that stuff is changing the Alley Act and all that stuff.
01:57:02.000
So, I mean, it gets a little tricky, but I mean, the goal is to create a league where boxers can go, and then, like, losses won't mean as much.
01:57:10.000
That might change right there because nobody really gives a fuck that much with the mixed martial arts.
01:57:15.000
You got your fan favorites, you got guys you want to see, you got fights you want to make.
01:57:18.000
People give them shit about what they're doing.
01:57:20.000
Pereira got knocked out by Izzy, and he didn't lose anything, right?
01:57:26.000
And then he came back and won the light heavyweight title, and everybody's like, He's back!
01:57:47.000
There's two good fights underneath that as well.
01:57:50.000
But it's like they're going to have to do this consistently and build these people up and have real good video series like the UFC does with embedded and what they do with the countdown shows and just really get everybody excited about it.
01:58:09.000
I mean, because people are being critical of the idea of that, but to me, it sounds like a good thing.
01:58:16.000
Well, no, I'm just saying like the idea of like a league for boxers to where there's a promotion that will do stuff like that for them.
01:58:25.000
Well, it's all in how much money is getting distributed, right?
01:58:28.000
So the boxers that make a lot of money are the Canelos, the Floyds, the people that are superstars.
01:58:35.000
But dudes that fight on undercards that you're watching on TV don't make shit.
01:58:41.000
You watch UFC fights, and there's people that are undercards that are making way more money than the undercard people in a boxing range.
01:58:54.000
The majority of the money, I'm sure, is going to the top guys.
01:58:58.000
Whereas in the UFC, it's probably a more spread throughout the day.
01:59:04.000
Yeah, but they don't have a high end that's the same.
01:59:07.000
Like Usik made $114 million, something like that.
01:59:34.000
So the guys who eat the most are going to eat the most with the boxing model.
01:59:40.000
But the people underneath that are not going to be doing nearly.
01:59:47.000
If I'm giving $200 million out between the two guys that are fighting the fight, they're not getting that many pay-per-views.
01:59:58.000
How do you sustain that business model, though, if that's how they're doing it right now?
02:00:02.000
Like, people scream about these guys making more money, but the UFC would be out of business if they paid that money because it's just not bringing that money.
02:00:18.000
That money for them is like me ordering a pizza.
02:00:27.000
Like, we don't even know how much money they have because it's not public.
02:00:32.000
Like, you know, like Bezos has to disclose his wealth.
02:00:37.000
Well, you got to think there's got to be so much if they're paying these guys $100 million to box.
02:00:47.000
I think that's why Canelo was holding out with Benavites because the number that I heard was $200 million.
02:00:59.000
Well, you know, if they're getting in the 130s for Usik, this is crazy.
02:01:15.000
You got Edson Barbosa on early prelims for Strakaro.
02:01:19.000
I mean, that's a fucking sick fight right there.
02:01:43.000
You know, Benil looked great in his last fight.
02:02:10.000
I was definitely going to be a little bit more famous.
02:02:21.000
And I think it all depends on which Jeff Neal shows up.
02:02:26.000
If the good ones show up, I think he knocks Pratez out.
02:02:29.000
I think Carlos Pratos takes us in the first round with a knockout.
02:02:32.000
Oh, and then it's Jared Cannonier and Michael Page.
02:02:36.000
How about how that dude just goes from middleweight to welterweight, doesn't give a fuck.
02:02:41.000
And no one even seems to talk about the fact that he's going up and down in weight.
02:02:49.000
It's crazy that he can make light, that he can make welterweight.
02:02:55.000
The only person who figured him out was Ian Gary.
02:03:20.000
I think he was out training with Hamz out a little bit, though.
02:03:27.000
I think that last Buckley fight, he was like, enough of this Walterweight bullshit.
02:03:42.000
And he's like, there's no way you think I'm going to lose a fist fight to a French dude.
02:04:01.000
Well, everybody's got to remember that's what Colby did when he beat Brazil.
02:04:26.000
If you're purely business-minded, talk a lot of shit.
02:04:29.000
Yeah, about people's dead fathers, about their wives.
02:04:36.000
He could be having a cup of tea in fucking London a year from now, 10 years from now.
02:04:40.000
If Leon Edwards runs into him, what do you think's going to happen?
02:04:43.000
Remember, you brought up my dead father, motherfucker?
02:04:45.000
I mean, dude, there's stuff, some stuff you could do for the entertainment, but then, hey, man.
02:04:52.000
You want to talk about somebody's wife or kids or a dead parent?
02:04:56.000
Even with Connor, in the beginning, he was a funny shit talker, and then it seemed later in the career, it was more almost like force.
02:05:08.000
Well, it's also you're dealing with people that are dealing with the pressures of being at the top of one of the most dangerous occupations in the world.
02:05:15.000
And every day when you go to bed, you know there's some dude out there that wants to kick you in the fucking dick.
02:05:29.000
And over the course of time, they get neurological fatigue.
02:05:33.000
Like you're just fatigued from just the strain.
02:05:43.000
I mean, also, the pockets get fatter and you're under that microscope even more.
02:05:56.000
If you want to hang out, you got to take a route.
02:06:08.000
I've never tried Coke, but if I was going to, I'd try it from Connor.
02:06:21.000
And that's also why he was so good at fighting, man.
02:06:23.000
In the middle of the Jose Aldo fight, I remember looking in his eyes and watching how calm, like genuinely calm he was.
02:06:31.000
I'm like, this guy just, and Dana said it best.
02:06:38.000
Does God say that, but they don't really believe it?
02:06:44.000
And when he came in, like, I tell this story to everybody about him.
02:06:49.000
When he came in, did his thing, he ran around the cage, and then he went in the center of the cage and he just fucking went like this.
02:06:58.000
And I was like, God almighty, how fucking comfortable?
02:07:05.000
It was one of them she did the walkout song for.
02:07:13.000
You know what's a funny thing is when you see a clip of him saying that somebody's interviewing him and he goes about partying, he goes, partying is weakness for your soul or something like that.
02:07:44.000
Like how much shit he was talking to him, but just still in it.
02:07:55.000
I mean, going up to challenge for a second world title and hitting the Matrix.
02:08:05.000
What he did to Jafael Dosanjos to win the title.
02:08:09.000
Those fights that he had with Chandler that those guys took 10 years off each other's lives.
02:08:33.000
But the angel of spells or the lefty swounds rang out a...
02:08:42.000
And the best part about this is how he walks out with this giant fucking leprechaun smile on his face.
02:08:51.000
get to where he walks out jamie in the springing of the air while the world did get But yeah.
02:09:16.000
might shine through the foggy All right, Jimmy.
02:09:27.000
That was a fight that he couldn't even grapple.
02:09:32.000
And that's one of the reasons why Chad was able to take him down so easily.
02:09:45.000
Bro, Chad's second fight with Aldo, he got fucked.
02:09:49.000
I remember I reached out to him after the fight.
02:09:51.000
I'm like, damn, dude, because the first round after the bell, Aldo cracks him and rocks him.
02:09:58.000
Like for the first time in the fight, he got rocked.
02:10:00.000
And clearly after the bell, I'm like, damn, that's terrible.
02:10:05.000
After you got knocked out by the guy in the first fight, you come back in the second fight.
02:10:12.000
And then you get hit with a shot after the bell.
02:10:16.000
It's still a great fight, but it makes me wonder.
02:10:18.000
Like, if that shot doesn't land, that's a real shot, man.
02:10:23.000
That was like a real, like, you're almost out shot.
02:10:27.000
And if you get hit with one of those in a fight, that significantly changes the fight.
02:10:55.000
It's amazing how good he still is when he fought Zahabi.
02:11:00.000
I was like, damn, dude, he's still really fucking good and really fast.
02:11:05.000
And down a weight class instead of up as he got older.
02:11:10.000
I know, but I mean, when you look at how muscular he is at 45, and then you think about like what Max did to him, that muscle comes with a price.
02:11:18.000
And when Max put that pace on him, Max was the first guy to really expose him and put that pace.
02:11:26.000
Remember when he double-kneed fucking Cub Swan?
02:12:04.000
Look, he's trying to hit him even after the referees pulled him off.
02:12:20.000
Yeah, Uriah, like, that leg was fucked up, man.
02:12:34.000
But, you know, it's like, how long can you keep that up?
02:12:38.000
Like, really, because he's still at a world-class caliber at Bantamweight.
02:12:42.000
I mean, dude, for 10 years, nobody touched him.
02:12:45.000
That's a long time to reign, especially in a weight division like that where he just keeps coming.
02:12:50.000
He just kind of gassed out in that last round because he was going for the finish.
02:12:55.000
Yeah, I mean, you could make an argument for Aldo and that.
02:13:02.000
But I mean, how good was he to himself to know that he's retiring probably because he feels like he can't do it at the level he knows he can.
02:13:13.000
But in his head, he's like, I'm not doing it at the level I want to be able to do it, so I'm just going to retire.
02:13:22.000
Between 35 and 45, it's interesting that 25 gets so little love.
02:13:36.000
Like, nobody cared about Mighty Mouse, and that guy was maybe the top martial artist in the league.
02:13:45.000
I don't know if you'll ever see something like that.
02:13:59.000
Like, we were lightweights, and they cut our division after that little tournament.
02:14:03.000
And who'd have thought that the lightweights would be the best division?
02:14:16.000
I mean, before it really took off, they were just trying to figure out, like, we got to figure out a way to make money doing this thing.
02:14:25.000
And if someone has this idea, oh, the problem is the lighter weight divisions.
02:14:57.000
They had a good fight like nine years ago or eight years ago, what it was.
02:15:01.000
But the difference between how much better Pantosha got was right away was obvious.
02:15:06.000
He was doing Uber Eats when he was here, fighting in the UFC, and he was still fucking working.
02:15:13.000
He's like a real, just the sweetheart of a guy.
02:15:27.000
Just the idea of being a flyweight just has people spooked out to root for him.
02:15:36.000
Even Cejudo, you know, when he was the champ, and you know, when Mighty Mouse was a champ, like, kind of with everybody.
02:15:44.000
Figueredo didn't get the love that he deserved.
02:15:51.000
But it's always like, it's always like, yeah, but they're flyweights.
02:15:58.000
I wonder what the biggest flyweight pay-per-view of all time was.
02:16:05.000
It would have to be a Mighty Mouse one, probably, wouldn't you think?
02:16:09.000
Maybe there's more pay-per-view buys these days.
02:16:12.000
Yeah, I would think that it may have been when Pantosia did it in Brazil because they probably had a lot of Brazilians on the road.
02:16:36.000
It's just so it's not nearly as entertaining as the mixed martial arts.
02:16:39.000
And the fact that there's one on like every week, I just.
02:16:48.000
But I mean, if I have a choice, I'm going to watch it.
02:16:53.000
Usik's like Usuk is like Lemonchenko plus 100 pounds.
02:17:06.000
Especially Dubois when you see what he did to AJ in that last fight.
02:17:12.000
In the heavyweight division, who do they have left for him?
02:17:14.000
Well, Tyson Fury was talking about coming back, but then it looks like he changed his mind.
02:17:26.000
But if anybody could have beaten him, it would have been Tyson Fury in his prime.
02:17:29.000
Because particularly, you know, in moments in the first fight, especially in the early rounds, before he got dropped in the ninth, he was doing really well.
02:17:40.000
More damage than he's ever seen Usuk take in a fight ever.
02:17:47.000
I mean, look, Tyson was a fantastic boxer, too.
02:17:53.000
I mean, he was light on his feet, you know, very technical.
02:17:57.000
I mean, he obviously has a size and reach advantage over Usik.
02:18:00.000
And when he gets that jab popping, he's tough to beat.
02:18:15.000
They were talking about setting up a Francis Deontay Wilder fight.
02:18:30.000
I mean, that's one of the problems with the sport.
02:18:34.000
Because if you ask the average, if you want a hardcore boxing fan's dream fight, it's not necessarily Canelo and Crawford, which is a great fight.
02:18:42.000
But you got this thing where Crawford's jumping up all this weight.
02:19:04.000
If boxing is to be complete, if the circle of power is to be folded over onto whatever, the rocks you get for your ring, whatever Thanos gets.
02:19:26.000
And if they fuck that up, and if he goes up and now Benavidez is fighting light heavyweight more, you know, In fact, it's terrible.
02:19:36.000
I don't think it happens or it's going to be too late.
02:19:45.000
He said his back's been fucking with him for 10 years and he finally got surgery.
02:20:02.000
Well, they did a laminectomy from like L2 all the way through S1.
02:20:09.000
Like, well, I had stenosis is what was happening.
02:20:13.000
So the bones were growing and pushing on the nerves.
02:20:15.000
I mean, I would get up in the morning and be fucking holding my wall to get to the bathroom.
02:20:35.000
When you fought GSP the second time, your back was fired.
02:20:46.000
I went to the city, got an epidural shot, and that fucking started to bring me back.
02:20:55.000
When I would go to brush my teeth, I couldn't posture myself back up.
02:21:02.000
Think about that, and then knowing that you have a cage fight coming up against a guy who's the best wrestler in the division.
02:21:08.000
How do you fight that motherfucker with a bad back?
02:21:19.000
There's stuff that you can do for your back, but man, it takes a long ass time to heal back injuries naturally.
02:21:29.000
And one of the things that I made sure I did this year is I do twice a week, I do lower back exercises, like core exercises with twists and lifting, like do back extensions with weights.
02:21:43.000
I do hypers and the reverse hyper machine for my lower back.
02:21:50.000
I'd be like real stiff, and that completely went away.
02:21:53.000
And really, what it all fucked up was from archery because, you know, you pull one way all the time and this side started getting this drawing.
02:22:06.000
And even though I was in pain, I still kept shooting while I was in pain.
02:22:11.000
Now I draw, I have a cable pulley system at my gym.
02:22:14.000
So I hold a 10-pound weight and then I draw 80 pounds like I'm pulling a bow.
02:22:20.000
So I do that for as many reps as I shoot arrows.
02:22:32.000
If you don't, if you want to really heal something and really get it better and not get surgery, it takes forever.
02:22:38.000
Let me ask you: with the bow hunting, what do you got against the gun?
02:23:03.000
I've shot a lot of animals with a rifle hunting, and it's great.
02:23:10.000
If you're hunting for food, like if I had to provide food for my family, I would 100% be hunting with a rifle.
02:23:18.000
But what I'm doing is I'm trying to get meat with my hobby.
02:23:24.000
And calling it a hobby is like a little disrespectful.
02:23:28.000
It's almost, it sounds very corny, but it's almost like a spiritual journey.
02:23:33.000
Like you're going to the woods and you're sneaking up.
02:23:37.000
I'm doing it with a guide who's a good friend of mine and we go together.
02:23:41.000
And we're sneaking up on these animals that are trying to avoid mountain lions and bears.
02:23:48.000
And you're getting within archery range of them and just launching a perfect arrow.
02:23:56.000
So every time you eat your food, it's the best food in the world, but you're also thinking how you got it.
02:24:00.000
Like you worked hard for a whole year to prepare for it.
02:24:09.000
I put this fucking 45-pound plate on my back, and I walk around for hours.
02:24:13.000
I do a bunch of shit with these different exercises just for hunting training.
02:24:23.000
I'm comfortable anything inside 70 yards if I don't think the animal's moving a lot.
02:24:31.000
So, if an animal's moving a lot, like in the rut, sometimes they're fighting other males, so they'll run at each other and they'll come back, and like, then you can't take a shot like that because they're not going to be there when you shoot the, they're moving so fast.
02:24:44.000
With a rifle, you just need them to stop for a second.
02:24:50.000
Did you ever shoot him but missed the kill shot?
02:24:53.000
You got to go over to it and stand cut in his throat.
02:25:02.000
Even if you hit him perfectly, and I've hit an elk perfectly before, if they don't go down, they're standing there.
02:25:09.000
As long as they're standing, you hit them with another arrow.
02:25:21.000
You'll track them and you're like, this is so much blood.
02:25:23.000
There's no way this thing's not going to be dead five feet from here.
02:25:26.000
And then you'll find them 800 yards away, dead.
02:25:30.000
They're so tough because you're dealing with an animal that's like every day is mountain lion season.
02:25:37.000
Every day there's mountain lions just sneaking up on them everywhere.
02:25:44.000
If they make it to be seven, eight years old, which is when I start hunting them, like these motherfuckers gangsters.
02:25:52.000
Some of them have one eye because they get their eye poked out by another dude because they get those antlers and jab in each other's faces.
02:26:17.000
I mean, because they say that the venison, they say it's gamey or something.
02:26:26.000
It's all in taking proper care of it once you shoot it.
02:26:29.000
If you let the animal lay out in the heat, or if the meat gets dirty, or if you accidentally cut the glands, they have these tarsal glands on their legs.
02:26:38.000
That's a nasty smell that they're putting out so that the ladies hear it.
02:26:42.000
The ladies smell it rather and the other men know that they're there.
02:26:45.000
If that stuff gets on your meat, you're fucked.
02:26:47.000
There's a lot of it is like bad preparation, bad care.
02:26:51.000
But if you take care of venison and do it well, it's the best meat.
02:26:58.000
I don't have it often, but when I do, it's my favorite, man.
02:27:04.000
I bet they serve like buffalo, though, which is also.
02:27:34.000
And so they just served us whatever they wanted to serve us.
02:27:38.000
And one of the things they gave us was, it was like a loin of a horse.
02:27:45.000
Like, this is like tenderloin, like horse tenderloin?
02:27:49.000
I actually went to Joe Beef with Vitor Belford and Sean Brady.
02:28:23.000
He's three months out of his second hip surgery.
02:28:27.000
It makes you wonder, like a guy Who's that smart and that driven towards jiu-jitsu?
02:28:33.000
Like, what would happen if he didn't have a crippled body?
02:28:37.000
Well, even with a crippled body when he was rolling.
02:28:42.000
Like, blown apart knee, you know, reconstructed to the point where it doesn't even like fully extend, right?
02:28:47.000
Has to get what has he got and replaced so far?
02:28:53.000
He might have got his knee because he said after the hip damaged his knee so bad that he thought he's gonna have to get the knee done.
02:29:11.000
The one thing that really is, if I could just, it just haunts me is because I fucked up where you're supposed to step down with your bad leg when you get the surgery.
02:29:20.000
I went up, I went to put up my curtain, I stepped down, and if you see, I'll just show you here.
02:29:37.000
And it's so fucking when I, sometimes I'll walk, it'll dip.
02:29:45.000
So I got the stem cells shot right in that bitch.
02:29:48.000
That's the only one that hurt because they said there's no way to do it.
02:29:57.000
I didn't want to go through another fucking surgery.
02:30:18.000
Is there anything you can do with late weights?
02:30:27.000
I'm thinking of like single-leg lunges, you know, like with that leg.
02:30:33.000
I'll hold like a 100-pound kettlebell and do them one lung.
02:30:39.000
But besides that, the knee itself, I just wish I didn't do that because I hear about Bisping running still.
02:30:48.000
The running thing is weird, but how much time do you have on those knees?
02:30:57.000
Can they chop the fucking thing off and put a new one in and unscrew it?
02:31:02.000
I'm holding off of my right one for as long as I can.
02:31:06.000
My right one, I just got shot some stem cells in there, but yeah, if I'm walking too much, I'll feel that bitch.
02:31:11.000
Yeah, I mean, they're both just severely, not my left now, it's new, but it's just fucking arthritis, man.
02:31:18.000
Fuck, he doesn't sound like an old man with the arthritis.
02:31:23.000
Yeah, I mean, I know, also, to get to 55, I used to just fucking have to run in the morning for 45 minutes.
02:31:28.000
Low intensity, but just still, I was on a treadmill just fucking on enduro rush.
02:31:40.000
He ran a lot on the streets, too, which I'm sure is a lot of extra power.
02:31:50.000
Well, I think he's doing better now, luckily, because for a long time, his neck was fucking with him so bad he could barely get out of bed.
02:31:57.000
Yeah, I remember he had surgery, and like a week later, he was right back on the call.
02:32:07.000
I thought your spinal cord went all the way through your back till I had my back surgery, you know, but it doesn't.
02:32:14.000
And so that's why when you have your neck impingements, cause a lot of those fucking problems.
02:32:19.000
That's why that Ernesto Hoost neck kick is so effective.
02:32:24.000
You know, when Hoost is kicked so many people in the neck, just wow.
02:32:29.000
He was always one of my favorite guys to watch.
02:32:33.000
Yeah, one of the most beautiful kickboxers of all time.
02:32:37.000
Pop, pop, left hook to the body, right low kick.
02:32:47.000
See, that'll always baffle me how Bob Sapp beat that guy.
02:32:51.000
Like, this is one of the reasons why Ernesto wasn't like the best candidate for kickboxing to enter into MMA because he was like smooth and super technical and very fast, but not explosive, right?
02:33:08.000
When Crocop fought Bob Sapp, Crow Cop fucked Bob Sapp up because Crocop would just blast on you.
02:33:17.000
It's like, it was a different kind of thing that he would do.
02:33:22.000
Like when he went over to MMA, like all of a sudden he's this fast, powerful striker.
02:33:26.000
It's not like a boxer who's going to move around a little bit and pick you apart for a few rounds.
02:33:33.000
I wish he would have been in the UFC in his prime.
02:33:43.000
Yeah, he was, I mean, and we all know Beth is, what was it?
02:33:53.000
And there's a shot of him throwing this low kick or this body kick deep into Heath Herring's cage.
02:34:04.000
And you just see Crokop's shin basically touching his liver.
02:34:10.000
It's so deep that you just, it's one of the most painful pictures you see from an MMA fighter.
02:34:15.000
Remember that dude kissed him before he fighted.
02:34:34.000
And when you know how powerful Crokop's kicks are, and then you think about eating that on the ribs like that.
02:34:50.000
And how about the one that he landed on Vanderlane when he flatlined Vanderlane?
02:34:58.000
It's just the difference was like when he was throwing kicks at you, it was 100% gas.
02:35:06.000
He was trying to let you know, motherfucker, there's some darkness behind the shaft.
02:35:12.000
You will see darkness, and then you have a flashlight in your face.
02:35:28.000
So whenever you see that happen, you always think back to when it happened.
02:35:35.000
And I remember me, you and Eddie went out and got some pasta.
02:35:50.000
The heavyweight division right now is so shallow in the BFC.
02:35:54.000
It's like without, you know, because I just think they're all playing football and basketball.
02:36:12.000
We need someone to like, if Aspinall's going to have, he's got Cyril gone, right?
02:36:26.000
By the way, Cyril Gone didn't have a bad movie.
02:36:28.000
Not to keep bringing up movies, but I love movies.
02:36:39.000
And you might be thinking, all right, how's his acting?
02:36:59.000
Yeah, but I'm saying it's like it's not even his voice.
02:37:03.000
You say his acting is really good, but it's another dude's voice.
02:37:07.000
Well, I mean, it's Cyril God's just not going to be.
02:37:18.000
You know, it's not the best sign when a fighter starts starring in movies.
02:37:30.000
Everybody watching for him and his chances against Tom Espinoff.
02:37:38.000
If there's a world that can soften you, it's the world of acting.
02:37:46.000
There's also a thing, like, once you become a movie star, like, I don't know, it just doesn't seem to go well.
02:37:51.000
Like, remember Tommy Morrison when fought Ray Mercer?
02:38:17.000
And it was like K-1 or Pride, and they kicked him and he just left the ring.
02:38:27.000
He looked at him like he's speaking a foreign language and he fucking just left.
02:38:38.000
I think one of the most interesting boxers that entered into MMA or entered into kickboxing was when Masato fought cool Vince Phillips.
02:38:59.000
That's what's interesting when you watch a boxer who goes over there and is like, oh, shit.
02:39:19.000
Shannon knocked him out because Shannon hit him with a jab to the body.
02:39:25.000
So what happened was Tim was not supposed to kick.
02:39:31.000
But since it was like an MMA fight, there was supposed to be a boxing match.
02:39:39.000
So what it was was supposed to be a boxing match.
02:39:41.000
They couldn't get authorized for it to be a boxing match because Tim Sylvia did not have a boxing record.
02:39:46.000
And so you can't fight a former world champion and you've had no boxing record, but you could fight him in MMA.
02:39:57.000
And so they made an agreement: okay, don't kick me, and I'll fight you in the cage.
02:40:04.000
And that's why Ray Mercer, you see, like, he drops his hands.
02:40:09.000
Because the original fight they were contracted for was a boxing match.
02:40:13.000
And Tim's like, once I got you in here, I'm going to kick your fucking legs.
02:40:20.000
If you make an agreement about that, that's a cheap shot.
02:40:23.000
Because when you see when Ray gets that inside low kick, he drops his hands.
02:40:55.000
It's kind of amazing how few boxers have actually entered into MMA.
02:40:59.000
Not, you know, this was like you got tricked into this one, but it's only like James.
02:41:06.000
Well, I guess not if you see those Usik paychecks.
02:41:12.000
Like, think of, you know, relatively Spence and Crawford made.
02:41:17.000
I mean, they probably still made a lot, a couple, you know, a gang of millions.
02:41:22.000
I mean, I'm guessing in the single-digit millions, though, not fucking hundreds of millions.
02:41:37.000
At least 25 mil for their fight doesn't matter.
02:41:39.000
But even still, it's such a small population of boxers to make that, as we said.
02:41:43.000
So you would think that more would go, you know what?
02:41:48.000
I'm not good enough to make that, but I'm good enough to maybe go to MMA and make 100 grand, 200 grand.
02:41:58.000
But if you're a guy like Crawford who started out as a wrestler, that's that much.
02:42:24.000
Oh, yeah, but that's just because they're haters.
02:42:31.000
There's no, like, unless someone just gave him the money.
02:42:41.000
I mean, look what they did with that Liv golf tournament.
02:42:46.000
And if they did that with basketball or with anything else, they have enough money to do that with basically all sports.
02:42:51.000
Supposedly they did it with the John Jones fight.
02:42:53.000
I said John Jones asked COC for $30 million to fight Tom Aspinall, then pulled out two days after they agreed.
02:42:59.000
He didn't think it would come up with the number, and they did.
02:43:12.000
He said earlier in the thing that he priced himself out of the Nganu fight, and he thought that that strategy would work again, but apparently they met the 30 million.
02:43:21.000
And then John, a couple days later, did the retirement thing and said he wasn't going to fight.
02:43:38.000
Yeah, but he doesn't want the L. Here's the thing.
02:43:47.000
It's going to be nice to have an extra 30, but the reality is he's rich right now.
02:43:50.000
He probably doesn't have to work for the rest of his life if he doesn't do anything crazy.
02:43:53.000
He still makes money doing his appearances and whatever else.
02:43:58.000
Not saying that he would, but if you wanted to look at it from that perspective, like if it's a tough fight, he's been through wars.
02:44:08.000
And you got to know when you don't want to do that anymore.
02:44:11.000
And if that's where he's at right now, I hope he stays retired.
02:44:14.000
But then he jumped right back in and said he wants to fight at the White House.
02:44:18.000
So it's like, it's so hard for those guys to let it go.
02:44:21.000
When they do let it go, it's difficult to figure out who you are.
02:44:25.000
Man, we've got to see where that train's going to go off the tracks when he's not fighting.
02:44:40.000
I know who's going to have been really good lately.
02:44:42.000
And I forgot who he's going to be fighting, but Dominic Rey is fucked up for him.
02:45:04.000
I rewatched Dominic Rey as John Jones, and I could see Dominic Reyes winning that decision.
02:45:11.000
I mean, I'm not saying I sat down and scored it, but I'm like, okay, I could see the argument.
02:45:29.000
Like, that's got to be the coldest thing to ever say, right?
02:45:33.000
You know, they say there's nine years that a fighter can fight at his very best.
02:45:42.000
They think they did this based on tennis because tennis is all about like fast twitch and movement and the ability to explode back and forth.
02:45:50.000
And you could kind of keep your level going at the highest level for about nine years.
02:45:56.000
And then everything just slows down a little bit.
02:46:01.000
I mean, the training for these things, that's the biggest thing is the camps, especially as you get older.
02:46:07.000
You know, getting there in one piece is just, it's just almost impossible.
02:46:12.000
If you want to just check all the boxes, get ready for these fucking things.
02:46:20.000
It's so hard to predict them to show up to fight.
02:46:27.000
I'll tell you what, dude, I'm not counting out Cannon here anymore.
02:46:30.000
After he beat Gregory Rodriguez, I was like, God damn.
02:46:36.000
And Gregory tried to take him out in that first round, man.
02:46:43.000
He just came back and knocked out the Joker Hermanson.
02:46:48.000
Yeah, I think Gregory Rodriguez would be the biggest threat to Reiner DeRitter.
02:46:54.000
Because just like when you think about Styles, just the biggest.
02:46:58.000
I think he would knock Reiner Dorito's head off, bro.
02:47:02.000
DeRitter's got that knee to the body that is so interesting, the way he fucking forces you to clinch and then blasts that knee to the body.
02:47:11.000
So good in the entrance with that knee to the body.
02:47:14.000
And when he did that over and over and over again, I was like, wow.
02:47:40.000
I'm impressed with his jiu-jitsu, that DeRiddler, man.
02:47:55.000
I thought that was a horrible matchup for Bo Nickel.
02:48:03.000
He was so good at throwing that knee to the body.
02:48:10.000
I mean, we haven't seen him, but over in one I've seen him.
02:48:24.000
What he did to Kevin Holland, I was like, whoa.
02:48:31.000
You got Fluffy, who just, like, has this breakout performance last weekend.
02:49:13.000
There's dudes that just, God just gave him an extra little, extra little, extra little.
02:49:21.000
I was, you know, Cadeside, man, we watching these dudes and he's punching this guy like in the back.
02:49:31.000
And he's like 6'4", 185, doesn't have an ounce of body fat on him.
02:49:42.000
That's like one of those, the guy your girlfriend tells you not to worry about photos.
02:49:48.000
There's a few of those guys that just, they don't even look real.
02:49:54.000
You see him, you're like, how's that a real dude?
02:50:05.000
Like, that guy's just getting hit like, yo, somebody stop him.
02:50:27.000
How about they fucking got rid of the other dude?
02:50:32.000
I think I think they're going to resign him I think it's just a matter of like just like not having so many guys on a roster to have that burden to keep fighting them why that doesn't make any sense if the guy's on the like a win streak guys are the win streak yeah but I think they're I think they're going to resign him though it's just probably so it's just like they didn't sign in time well you know what it is like when they have so many guys on the roster they have to promise them certain amount of fights so oh so it's like let guys go so they don't have to promise them yeah so they don't have to promise him fights but for sure?
02:51:01.000
I'm just speculating because that's why they pay him if they don't.
02:51:04.000
Yeah, because they have to pay him anyway if they don't get a certain amount of fight or not.
02:51:07.000
I know, but I mean, imagine you just fought your ass off.
02:51:14.000
I think what they'll do is when they need him again, they'll just get him back.
02:51:22.000
I think he banked on that single leg, which was getting taken away.
02:51:25.000
Have you seen him fight that rug rug guy or whatever and won?
02:51:31.000
Like, I was impressed because most jiu-jitsu guys, when they get hit like that, they're not out there for the fight.
02:51:36.000
And then in this fight, didn't look anything like the guy that fought at one, and I thought he was going to be better, you know, because he's training.
02:51:44.000
What kind of drug testing do you think they're doing over there?
02:51:55.000
I mean, this is a problem with a lot of guys we got from Pride.
02:51:59.000
You know, they come over with different physiques.
02:52:05.000
Moudet signs with Octagon MMA, faces off with the heavyweight champ.
02:52:12.000
You know, the guy's good, and we need good guys in the heavyweight division.
02:52:17.000
I mean, the thing about it is it's like you got to be exciting.
02:52:25.000
I think if he looked more marketable, I bet you'd still have a contract.
02:52:29.000
I know, but isn't there like something to a guy who looks like shit, fucks everybody up?
02:52:37.000
Look, when Fedor was in his prime, that was part of his charm.
02:52:48.000
How many guys didn't root for fucking Roy Nelson?
02:53:02.000
Everybody knew he was a black belt in jiu-jitsu.
02:53:04.000
Like, always competed in Abu Dhabi and the circuit.
02:53:13.000
He takes a shot better than any living human being that's ever lived.
02:53:25.000
And people loved watching him fight with that big belly.
02:53:35.000
It's just the performance was, it wasn't exciting.
02:53:38.000
If you watch that fight, that fight wasn't a good fight.
02:53:41.000
You know, Buchetcha didn't wrestle at a high level.
02:53:45.000
If you're going to be a jiu-jitsu guy and everybody knows you're as a multiple world champion in jiu-jitsu and you're fighting an MMA, son, you better have some take downs because ain't nobody going to want to be fucking grappling with you.
02:54:03.000
And once he started taking that, he was taking away that single leg very well.
02:54:15.000
How many times have you watched a high-level jiu-jitsu match between two black belts and it starts in a standing position and no one goes down at all for like 10 minutes?
02:54:34.000
Oh, when you start on your ass in class, then you never practice your takedown.
02:54:42.000
But it's also that no one wants to take a chance and open themselves up to getting caught, right?
02:54:47.000
So you don't want to dive in for a double and then get caught in a guillotine.
02:54:52.000
And Abu Dhabi, I pulled guard every fucking time, right?
02:54:56.000
If you trust in your guard or being able to get back, now they call wrestling up because I was doing that back in the day before it was called that.
02:55:02.000
But like, you know, if you're good at not letting somebody pass, especially the Abu Dhabi rule set, after five minutes, you know, all right, now I'm on back.
02:55:10.000
If I'm good at getting out and getting up and putting a guy down, you know what I mean?
02:55:15.000
But I hate when it's a stalemate with just two guys just fucking pummeling them fucking.
02:55:20.000
But I get it from the wrestler's perspective, too.
02:55:21.000
It's like, hey, fuck, fuck sitting on your ass.
02:55:29.000
And that's one of the things that you see that's like very humbling for a real good jiu-jitsu guy when there's no way he can take a guy down.
02:55:37.000
And then the guy starts beating him up standing up.
02:55:39.000
And you're just rushing forward, trying to grab him.
02:55:42.000
You can't get the fight to your expertise level, your area of expertise.
02:56:01.000
That was a stud, but he might have done well if they gave him anybody else.
02:56:05.000
But one, he was a if you watch that again, he's way smaller.
02:56:23.000
I didn't know that that guy, the big Japanese guy, that they were punching each other in the face.
02:56:45.000
The giant roided up Don Fry from Pride was a different Amari was just trying to get down there.
02:56:57.000
Look, he's hanging onto the fence with shoes on.
02:57:00.000
He's got wrestling shoes, which is also kind of crazy.
02:57:05.000
I used to train with Amari back, old school top team back there.
02:57:09.000
What do you think Amri Batech weighed in this fight?
02:57:50.000
No, just crazy fights where there was fighting someone way smaller than them.
02:57:56.000
Yeah, that's one of my favorite fights of all time.
02:58:04.000
Murillo Bustamante fighting Tom Erickson for 45 minutes.
02:58:09.000
Marillo was a jiu-jitsu guy that had some stand-up and had some wrestling.
02:58:21.000
Marillo Bustamante is one of my favorites to watch.
02:58:24.000
The thing about the Jiu-Jitsu guys back then, some of those guys, Fabio Gajelle's another one.
02:58:29.000
Marillo is their jiu-jitsu games, it could transfer over from Gi, No Gi, MMA, and it all resembles the same skill set.
02:58:48.000
A lot of those guys from that Carlson Gracie team had a real solid team.
02:59:01.000
Well, that's how I got my black belt from, from Laborio, from that camp.
02:59:29.000
So, I mean, in fact, like when he left, that's when they really hired me to kind of take his place in top team.
02:59:54.000
Joe Piver thought that I was too hard on him in the commentary of the last fight.
02:59:57.000
But it's just because it's just because of his potential.
03:00:01.000
I just knew that he was looking for the big shot instead of just letting it come.
03:00:05.000
He was so good in the first round that unfortunately he had so much success and almost took him out that he started looking to take him out.
03:00:13.000
And if you load up with Kelvin, he still boxed.
03:00:17.000
I think it freaked him out a little bit that Kelvin was still there.
03:00:21.000
he's like, yo, I didn't hit this dude with everything.
03:00:35.000
It's just like if that guy was at the UFCPI and they gave him all his meals and he had someone babysit him and make sure you don't just don't fuck off.
03:00:44.000
And it's like too many guys just want to feel comfortable.
03:00:48.000
It's like, okay, but you're not going to feel comfortable losing.
03:00:52.000
And that this guy's coming down from an extreme weight.
03:01:12.000
Okay, I feel you guys are going to fucking curse me after this.
03:01:34.000
And I'll be back in the Dean Thomas Fight Court, the new podcast.
03:01:53.000
I got a little podcast that can, like 30-something thousand.
03:02:00.000
We got a ground control in Sykesville opening up soon.
03:02:07.000
And the website has all the addresses and everything listed.
