00:00:00.000 When you watch Taporyo, what do you think about Taporyo?
00:00:02.520 Because I have Taporyo here on the podcast.
00:00:04.020 We had a very good conversation together.
00:00:06.160 Different kind of a fighter, right?
00:00:08.600 Different kind of a fighter.
00:00:09.780 Good fighter, good mindset, good boxer.
00:00:15.540 So he used to be a wrestler, and then he understood
00:00:17.960 wrestling is a waste of energy, and then he started to box.
00:00:22.500 He improved his boxing.
00:00:23.580 Now he box people because it's hard to wrestle and box,
00:00:29.080 you know 25 minutes unless if you're habib or hamza so they can wrestle 25 minutes non-stop
00:00:37.400 uh but nowadays he just do good good thing it's a it's a box that's it he doesn't kick
00:00:47.000 he doesn't like wrestle so his main thing it's a box for me it's easy because i have a
00:00:54.040 good kicks
00:00:55.820 that I can stay on the kick distance
00:00:58.800 and if he
00:01:00.740 comes with a box, I wrestle him
00:01:02.860 or I clinch him.
00:01:04.980 So they know that too.
00:01:06.760 They're going to try to avoid.
00:01:08.420 They're going to try to move up.
00:01:10.000 After this fight, he's going to say
00:01:11.400 they cannot fight me
00:01:14.160 because it's like
00:01:15.120 it's like
00:01:17.020 even his teammates, they know it's
00:01:19.960 a tough fight.
00:01:21.040 it's a tough fight
00:01:22.460 why we should take the tough fight
00:01:24.860 if we can fight with
00:01:26.120 Oliveira
00:01:27.460 Gage
00:01:29.000 the guys who is like
00:01:30.680 at the end of their career
00:01:31.700 and they cannot do everything
00:01:33.540 and they have a bad chin
00:01:35.840 they drop so much
00:01:37.360 so if they're going to hit them
00:01:40.320 they're going to
00:01:42.340 lose you know
00:01:44.780 so
00:01:45.180 yeah that's the main thing
00:01:48.920 so probably
00:01:49.660 he's going to get the title.
00:01:52.360 He's going to defend the title and say,
00:01:54.160 I'm going to leave this title.
00:01:56.140 He's going to leave this title.
00:01:57.820 It's my opinion.
00:01:59.220 If he's on the camera, he's saying,
00:02:02.700 I don't care, I fight Armand.
00:02:04.180 But when the time comes to fight Armand,
00:02:06.400 he's always trying to find excuses.
00:02:10.760 Well, you're the one fight nobody wants.
00:02:14.700 You're the guy that everybody wants to delay.
00:02:17.220 But he's also formidable.
00:02:19.040 I actually think if the two of you guys fought,
00:02:20.800 it would be one of the highest grossing viewership.
00:02:27.020 I think it can be the matchups,
00:02:29.680 because I don't think either one of you guys are going to pour your fights.
00:02:34.040 He's also good for the fans.
00:02:35.620 Like he doesn't show up.
00:02:36.580 There were certain fighters back in the days that they only fight for,
00:02:39.080 you know, points, scoring.
00:02:41.180 They played safe.
00:02:41.880 And when you fight, you're not going to play safe either.
00:02:43.840 I think it would make for a hell of a fight for a lot of people.
00:02:46.140 A lot of people probably want that fight.
00:02:47.620 what has Tuporia said about you
00:02:51.200 when your name comes up
00:02:52.440 because I'm sure you watch everything he says about you
00:02:55.000 in interviews
00:02:55.760 last time he was on the stream
00:02:57.760 I don't know he said knocking me out or something
00:03:01.200 I don't remember to be honest
00:03:02.340 he said he would knock you out
00:03:03.380 I don't remember to be honest but he said easy
00:03:05.380 no he said I think easy I'll take this fight
00:03:07.880 yeah probably no no
00:03:10.120 he said what he's going to do
00:03:11.440 he's going to wrestle me I'm going to defend
00:03:13.260 what else he cannot box
00:03:14.880 and I'm going to knock him out or something like that.
00:03:17.960 Rob, is this to pour you on the podcast?
00:03:20.160 Yes, sir.
00:03:20.760 Okay, I don't remember what he said,
00:03:22.460 but I do remember we talked about Armand.
00:03:24.180 Go for it.
00:03:25.600 Can you look at that, Rob?
00:03:27.300 I'm curious now because I, is, Charles is number,
00:03:31.320 oh, Armand is number two.
00:03:33.160 Armand, number two.
00:03:34.580 So would you fight an Armand before you go,
00:03:36.340 like, let's just say Dana says, 1.00
00:03:37.280 I want you to fight Armand before you fight Islam. 0.89
00:03:39.500 Would you entertain that? 1.00
00:03:40.300 He wouldn't tell me that.
00:03:42.740 He wouldn't tell you that?
00:03:43.580 No.
00:03:44.880 Dana would say Islam. 0.98
00:03:47.220 He would say for the belt.
00:03:49.280 He would say for the belt?
00:03:50.140 Yeah.
00:03:51.060 I think so as well because you're undefeated.
00:03:53.300 Of course.
00:03:53.920 Yeah.
00:03:55.120 There's no way that I have to fight to the number one contender.
00:03:59.240 I have to fight directly for the belt.
00:04:02.360 How soon do you think that would happen?
00:04:05.360 Personally, I don't know.
00:04:07.120 I have hope in the rap. 1.00
00:04:08.800 Yeah, that moment Islam was the champion. 0.99
00:04:11.680 So that's why.
00:04:12.580 So I was number one.
00:04:13.900 And Aslan moved up.
00:04:15.020 Moved up, and supposed to fight him,
00:04:18.940 and UFC decided to put him versus Oliver.
00:04:23.420 How much, when it comes down to fighting,
00:04:27.020 Armand, do they call you and they just tell you,
00:04:29.420 here's who you're fighting, or do they call you and say,
00:04:31.940 between these two, who would you rather fight?
00:04:34.020 They tell you the fight, or do you have a choice at times?
00:04:36.260 No, they never tell me.
00:04:38.640 They never give me, like, two names, only one name.
00:04:42.140 Here's your fight.
00:04:42.600 Yeah, and I'll take it.
00:04:44.060 And then no matter when they call you, you're going to take the fight?
00:04:46.720 I turned down just one fight because I was number 10.
00:04:50.940 Oh, I was number one, and they gave me, like, number 10 or 11,
00:04:54.740 the guy who was losing everybody.
00:04:56.900 Yeah, because Dana did say one time, he says,
00:04:58.860 with Armand, he doesn't take all the fights.
00:05:00.600 We want people to take the fights.
00:05:01.880 I think he made a comment about that in the past.
00:05:06.280 How's the relationship with Dana?
00:05:08.240 I'm cool with him.
00:05:09.720 Okay.
00:05:09.940 Yeah, so I'm good with everybody in UFC and I turned down the fight because they never give me fight when I was number 10 or number 11 with number one contender.
00:05:27.500 Why I beat number nine, why I beat number eight, why you give this guy like the present to fight with number one contender and he's nobody and he lose to Olivera, he lose to Darius, he lose to Hooker and I beat everybody.
00:05:39.500 and you're going to give me this fight?
00:05:41.980 And I said, I don't want to give me the better fighters
00:05:45.100 like from top five that I deserve it.
00:05:47.620 Where were you ranked when he gave you number 10?
00:05:49.820 I was number one.
00:05:50.920 Oh, so that's when he got it.
00:05:52.100 Yeah, that's right.
00:05:52.980 Just one fight in my life.
00:05:54.660 I turned out once in my life
00:05:56.660 and I became the worst person ever.
00:06:02.460 But you have to know that's Dana, though.
00:06:04.900 You know, if Dana calls, you got to say, yeah.
00:06:06.860 I think Dana, he doesn't know what's going on,
00:06:12.840 what fights is offering me because he decided on the title fights.
00:06:22.040 I don't think so he decided on the title fights.
00:06:24.660 They just give him this card.
00:06:26.600 He said yes or no, or maybe he can switch
00:06:28.800 because the hunter and matchmakers, they do all this work.
00:06:33.900 He doesn't do anything.
00:06:35.920 He just ran out of business or sponsorships, big deals.
00:06:42.080 I think he's on a different level right now
00:06:45.300 and he doesn't know what's going on over there.
00:06:47.140 You don't think he's...
00:06:48.520 Well, he did say he's no longer negotiating a contract.
00:06:51.260 Yeah.
00:06:51.740 He said moving forward, it's Hunter and other people
00:06:53.800 that are doing it, no longer me.
00:06:55.000 I think he just said that recently.
00:06:56.540 Yeah, I don't think so.
00:06:57.980 He's making fights because he has a matchmaker
00:07:04.180 and Hunter, probably they just give him the card
00:07:09.180 and he say yes or no, I think, I don't know.
00:07:12.180 Yeah.
00:07:12.780 Because it takes so much time.
00:07:14.140 Can I imagine how much time he has to make all these fights?
00:07:18.820 Let me ask you a question.
00:07:19.760 Are you also a fan of the fight?
00:07:21.360 Are you a fan of UFC?
00:07:22.780 Yes, I'm a fan of UFC.
00:07:23.700 So you're a fighter, but you're also a fan.
00:07:25.760 You watch it as well.
00:07:26.540 Yes.
00:07:27.040 Okay.
00:07:27.620 If I have a time, I always fly to Vegas and watch.
00:07:31.560 Yeah.
00:07:31.740 So, thank God you've still given me good tickets.
00:07:35.560 I'm still on.
00:07:38.380 Still alive.
00:07:39.900 So, let me ask you this.
00:07:44.060 It's almost historically, all the best fighters in every weight class
00:07:50.760 had a little bit of conflict with Dana.
00:07:53.600 It's not the regular ones.
00:07:55.620 It's always the best ones.
00:07:56.820 They had a little bit of issue.
00:07:58.160 It's almost like it's expected.
00:08:01.340 And I'm talking as a fan.
00:08:02.540 You're on the inside.
00:08:03.380 I'm not on the inside.
00:08:04.040 I'm just a fan that goes and supports what's going on.
00:08:07.720 You know, this whole thing with Viag Timmon and P-B-D podcast started with a phone, me and Mario.
00:08:10.960 That's it.
00:08:11.720 And it grew today to, you know, 15 million subscribers almost and 164 full-time employees.
00:08:16.920 And that relationship where you watching us and supporting us wouldn't happen without you.
00:08:20.760 But did you know 51% of you that watch the content are not subscribed to the channel?
00:08:25.740 And it would mean the world to us if you could press that subscribe button and notification.
