I am. We're up. It's buffering.
Wow.
That's it. We're live.
You got your cans?
We're live. Put your cans on. And we're all professionals. We're all professionals.
Is everybody drinking?
Yes. We have Buffalo Trace here. We have whatever you want. We have vodka. We have all kinds of. What do you like? What do you like?
Vodka club with a splash of crayon. Nah, it's not us. You don't got to worry about doing that.
You can't hear it.
You don't hear them.
Hear it now.
Poor me.
You don't hear anything. Jamie will check it out. It might be a wireless loose.
I thought he was running for the drinks, too. No, he does not. Does he play bartender, too?
Jamie, I'll bring over bottles. We got some stuff you can mix it with, I think, but I don't know.
Mix.
Do you need mixes? Do you need mixes?
I need a mix. Nothing. I was just gonna do a. A vodka with a club. I don't need no cranberry.
You have club soda? Yeah. I don't know if we have club.
Am I being a. A fancy pants?
A little bit. A little bit. Drink if you're allowed to.
I'm the only one that doesn't drink.
Whiskey with a ice ball. You're not drinking at all.
I mean, I'll drink a little something.
I'm not a big drinker, but one in Austin. Give me some of that. Give me some of that.
Oh, come on.
That's what I'm saying. Give me a little bit.
Let's go.
All right, Brendan, Ch. Stay on that wagon, sir.
Have to, guys. Otherwise I turn into a gremlin.
Salute.
Come on.
Come here.
Fight companion.
No middle ground for Brandon. It's either all or nothing.
And by the way, I smell and knew with Tatiana Suarez, if you ask.
Oh, yeah.
All day I saw her just. I was just watching some of the fights, and I saw her just take down Jessica Andrade and smoker.
She's like, nobody's business.
And she was. And she's not easy to get down. She's a.
She was Gatorade High school wrestler of the year when she came out, and then she won the Ultimate Fighter. She was a savage. And she got hurt.
Yeah, she had a couple of injuries that, like, derailed her career for a little bit.
She was on the Olympic team, but then got cancer. She defeated. Cancer?
What kind of cancer?
She pee cancer.
Jesus.
She's a savage, though. So good we labeled her the Khabib of the women's Division.
Oh, here we go. We got something to mix it up with. Oh, Lacroix. There we go. There you go.
Oh. All right. That's okay. I'm easy. Thank you, man. I appreciate it.
Yeah, that's a good fight. Such a monster, man. She's so hard to bet against, but that lady is such an animal.
When's the last time she fought a. A real wrestler?
She has not. She's never fought anybody like. Like her. Not even close.
Neither of them have fought anybody of the caliber that they are. That's why it's a great fight. They're also both older, I think. Tatiana is 31, and then a homegirl. Whaling is what, 34?
Isn't that crazy to say? Because Alex Pereira is 37.
Different.
Yeah. Is it weird? That's weird, though, right?
Like, older.
31. You start going, is that interesting?
Especially lighter weight class. Lighter weight class, Lighter weight class. Female, like, older. They turn to gremlins.
How about Pantosia? He might. He might be the best guy pound for pound alive. He might be right up there with Tapuria and Islam and Jon Jones and everybody else who's in the conversation.
But he's small, so no one cares.
Yeah, but God damn, man, he was so good against that Japanese cat. Like, my God.
And that Japanese cat didn't have that first time jitters.
No.
He came out there like, champion.
Hellish striker.
1.
Rising.
Rising. Dangerous striker. Dangerous striker.
But think about. They had to sign a homeboy from rising to compete with him. Like, there. There's not much for him.
Pantos is an animal, and he keeps getting better. Like, he looked better in that fight than ever before. His timing and everything was pristine.
How old is he?
34, maybe. How old is Pantosia? Dude?
Remember, he won the belt was like, do you see me now, Dad? Y.
Whatever it takes.
He's.
He's a sweet.
One of my absolute favorite guys to watch fight.
Monster.
Just an animal. Just a dog.
Just a full, beautiful jiu jitsu. Beautiful, crisp striking.
Yeah, his striking was super impressive against that Japanese cat because I was like, man, the timing is so good. There was no place where that guy was safe. You know, he was driving.
I think he was doing Uber eats.
Yeah.
When he was fighting. He's a sweet guy. Really sweet guy.
Crazy.
You know, but the.
The narrative on that, too. Like, the media is like, you know, he's a UFC fighter and he's driving for Uber E. Like, he also fought once in three years. Like, that's on you, dog. Yeah, that's on you.
It's there's a lot of things going on. But it's also weird that 125, it's real hard to sell. 135, no problem, cuz. 125, you got sugar Sean, you got Marab.
You get some stars with personality. But. But125, every dude sitting on the couch is like, they're tiny. I can beat them up and they have no clue.
They not think that about the 135s. How is it £10? Like, ah, okay. Isn't that weird?
Yeah, maybe. Because you've got some very exciting personalities at 35. What about mighty Mouse, bro?
Mighty Mouse was amazing when he was a champion. Amazing. He was doing wizardry.
One of the best ever doing wizard wizardry.
But he wasn't controversial like he was Mighty Mouse. Like the nicest guy ever, bro.
That Ray Borg fight dude, I was about to suplexed him and caught him. I never said Toshi's 34. Yeah, he's 34.
Animal 34 at 125.
Amazing.
56.
There's talk about him going to 35 versus Marab would be bananas. Yeah, bananas.
I'm never betting against Morab again.
How great was that?
Ever.
How great was that? Umar fan?
Amazing.
Did you really?
You're a piece of.
Why would you think.
I'll tell you right now. Anyone from Dagestan or that area, he's.
So good at striking. His wrestling.
Drives me nuts.
They're both from the Caucus Mountain.
They are, yeah.
But one guy trains in Jersey. Like, what are we doing? And also Marab, he's living in Vegas now, but Marab has the, you know, close.
I. I get him so riled up from Dag. I got. That guy's going to crush him, bro.
Marab is a machine.
The biggest weapon in all of combat sports and all of sports, period. His. His cardio is the most lethal thing on the planet.
Cardio and his wrestling.
And he took a gold medalist, you know, striking.
Yeah. I mean, you got to see though, like you look on paper and people were making a. They were saying, oh man. Well, he's got the wrestling to counter him and he's got the better hands. Marab his whole career for guys with a good wrestling base and good strike, you know, he's used to that. Who the. Who are you going to get to simulate Marab? He never fought anybody like Marab. And when this was. I wasn't. We weren't surprised at all. It was pretty awesome.
What about. What about against Cejudo, a gold medalist who's seen it all.
Yeah, that was amazing. But the thing. Thing about Umar is Umar striking is. Is really elite. It's elite and deceptive. He does a bunch of stuff that no one does. Like, one of the things he does is his crazy front kick to the.
Yeah.
And he throws a right leg roundhouse kick and a left leg roundhouse kick to the face. Both of them with, like, equal dexterity. Both off the lead leg. Like, he whips that lead leg over your shoulder and smacks guys in the face. And his timing, but it works for.
Keep the pace timing.
No one can.
Nobody can. Never.
No one ever will.
He's a master of range, Merab. They think that, oh, he doesn't have reach. He's a master of closing that distance. He throws that overhand into the single leg, to the double leg to. You don't know whether he's shooting or striking the whole time. What I love about it is after that first round, oh, man, Marab dropped that round. Second round, he's not getting stressed. You see him smile back. Taking. Smiling. Dude, he's there all night and he could afford another 25 minutes.
I believe it.
I never seen anything like it. I've seen a lot.
I don't think we will either.
Was he always like that?
He was always like that with the cardio, but he didn't have the tools to get out of certain positions.
Juicy. Did you see what D.C. said?
No.
On his Instagram, D.C. went to visit the day after the fight, and he's running. So he beats Sugar Sean wins the world title. DC goes to visit him at his house. He's not home. He's running. DC's wandering around his house. He doesn't even know he's there. Like, he just lets him. He just walks into his fucking house and he's like filming Merab's Jim. Like, whose gym you think this is? Like, it's got a picture.
It's the best weapon in ufc.
He loves it, man. He loves.
He's nothing you do.
He's incredible. His. But that's all. That's two things, right? That's some kind of genetic gift. And on top of that insane hard work. It's like both because the guy's a tank. Like, a lot of great.
He reminds me of Kate. Remember Kane had that weird cardio. Oh, you're like, what the.
Yeah, yeah.
Put his head in your chest.
They said he took two months off in his heyday. He took two months off, came in the gym, and DC was like, we're gonna beat The I can. He has been in two months. And he goes. He went Shark Tank rounds and beat the out of everybody. His cardio.
Told me that Kane was the guy who would turn your head around. He. He would just get in there. He said at one point he was. He. What he was doing to Luke, to Daniel, to all those guys was like a different thing. It was a nightmare. Yeah.
What changed with Kane was he blew his knee out when he was getting ready for the. No. Who lost to jds. Jds Junior Dos Santos. Sorry, Junior. Yeah. I just had a brain fart. Junior Dos Santos knocked him out on Fox and his knee was up going into that fight. And that was the big fight for Fox. Was like one of our first big events.
Huge event.
Huge event. And he really should have been fighting. He should have. He should have got out of the fight. His knee was up. So Junior knocks him out and then he beats the. Out of Junior in the rematch. He may be the out of Junior in the rematch after that, the third fight, he beats him like in a way that takes years off your life.
Yeah. Changes his DNA forever.
He's at that pace. He just. You see these guys just. They can't breathe. They're just wilting from.
Especially at heavyweight.
I love that.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
A lot of it had to do with his. He was very good at boxing. He picked up on boxing so quickly.
And it was all smooth technique. There wasn't no big wind ups where his chin was exposed. It was all very smooth. The Nogara Kobe. Oh, my goodness. That. It was like lightning.
I think prime is the best heavyweight ever.
It's hard to say because of Fedor. Because if you could get juicy Fedor from Pride.
I think Kane beats the.
I don't know, man. I don't know if anybody beats.
Fader is so accurate with his strikes.
So good. Dude. Fedor walked down CRO Cop when CRO Cop was in his prime. You gotta remember that most of that fight was standing up and Fedor was going blow to blow with CRO Cop and walking him down. He was very unusual. He that random in KO or the random armbar. Random man. Suplexes him on his head.
Yeah.
And five seconds later he's got him in a Kimura. It's crazy. He was different. He was a way. He beat up Noguera, dude. Oh, my God. Watch that fight.
I'd like to see some testing around those times.
Oh, yeah. But even in the UFC back then. Even on the UFC back then, it'd be tough. Came with that Sylvia when he was Rico Rodriguez, when he beat the out of Rico Rodriguez. Looks like a bodybuilder.
Kane. Kane has Brian Kel's chest. That dude's not on.
Thick.
Cpa.
He had them jeans. He had them.
Mayan warriors doesn't have an incline machine. Like, brown.
Yeah, he has some Aztec warrior jeans. Like, whatever Kane had is like, superior genetics. The card, his cardio was giant nuts.
You hear the way DC talks about him and they're sparring and stuff, so, you know, I don't think he's just throwing the prison.
No. D.C. would clearly say the only reason why I'm heavyweight champ is Kane's not fighting.
Dude, I'll never forget when Kane was fighting, I was on the same card. I fought Gonzaga. Yeah, he. That was the fight. He fought Lesnar. And when we're doing. We're doing the pre shoot stuff, he took his shirt off, and I'm, like, waiting to go. He has that brown pride. I looked at the guy doing the video stuff. I go, hey, if I put white pride, is that cool? And he goes, dude, just shut the up.
That wouldn't go over too big.
Yeah, you're allowed.
You're proud. Well, because the Mexicans didn't really subjugate the white people in recent memory.
It's a little different.
Is a little different.
Let me pull up my history book. Let me pull up.
It's a big difference.
What's with this?
Did you guys see Cat Williams in Phoenix?
No.
Did you see that?
Oh, my God. Not only did he lit up that dude, he had the whole crowd chant in America.
Yeah, dude.
He's like, this ain't Mexico. This is Phoenix. It was incredible. Oh, yeah, the heckler in Phoenix.
And something about Mexico. Skins and Cat.
Just saw Cat Williams at the Comedy Store one time. He was so good. He was like, I've been doing this for 30 years. He was like. And he was. He was playing with the band and stuff like that. He's. He's one of the great.
Did you see him on Theo's podcast?
No, because he kind of does a.
Character, you know, and, you know, he's doing his thing. But Theo's so funny. He breaks like three times. He just can't.
He just can't.
Oh, really?
Because Theo's talking about black ducks.
He goes, you need to get you.
Some black ducks, dude.
He's the best.
He broke Cat, like, four times.
Really?
How about when he was talking to the president? He was saying, man, that cocaine will turn you into a damn owl.
Have you seen Reports turning a damn owl.
Trump saw Trump's like, what the president?
About cocaine? But that is, like, really probably what Trump needed. He needed those kind of interviews.
Which. Which comedians was he on when he said, your friends aren't funny?
I don't know.
Not to make it awkward.
Listen, he said, why do that? He said that because he thought, for some crazy reason that I didn't want to have him on, like, somehow or another, that he would be showing up people or something. Like, because he's so good. Maybe he thought that because he's isolated. That's not even. He doesn't know me that well. The first time I met him was in the studio.
Yeah.
I love Cat Williams. I've always been a fan. I've always talked about Pimp Chronicles is fantastic. It's so good. He's so wild. And I've actually taken advice from him. There's two pieces of advice that I took from an interview that he did once that I use to this day. One, he said, I never eat before a show. He said, don't eat because I want to be hungry. Better off being hungry. My brain works better. And then two, he said, I have a music playlist that I make that just gets me in the mood to do a show. And so I'm like, that's a good idea. And from then on, I started carrying around like, a Bluetooth machine, like a Bluetooth boombox and bring in. And then the Green Room playlist that we have on Spotify. That's all the songs, but it's not hours.
It's smart. Yeah. I should do it. That's what athletes.
It was a smart thing. I was thinking. I was like, why don't I do that? Like, that makes sense. Like, you want to turn it into a little bit of a party. Yes. You get that music going, it feels good. Like we do with the Green room at the Mothership. Yeah. Get that music going. Everybody's having fun.
I want to give you a compliment, Longo, who doesn't give compliments. I don't know where the he saw you, but he said I was dying the whole time. The whole time dying.
That was a good.
You killed him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You. I love you.
This guy's a stress factory.
Jake Matthews. I'm very high on this kid. I like him. Very, very high on this kid. Oh, he's elite. Yeah.
Main card.
I think Jimmy Crute's fight got canceled. Is that correct?
Yes.
Jake Matthews is always exciting.
Always. He's super good. He's like one of those guys that look like he could break through any moment now, but he's a little reckless.
So he'll win like three and then lose one. And he.
Well, he's fighting really good guys, the ufc.
I smell him by submission. That's what I smell.
What do you smell?
Listen, this guy, Prada, he's real good. Yeah, he's got good striking.
Yeah.
Jake Matthews, very well rounded.
Yeah, very well rounded, but sharp striking. Jake's striking is just.
Chris, I think to be intelligent in this fight, I think he should get his ass down.
Is she about to sing national anthem?
Heidi Andrew on the spotlight. She's been with the UFC for a long time. I don't even think I met him. There's Jimmy Crude. He's getting ready. Oh, he's back.
Wait, what is happening?
Wait a minute. So is the fight not canceled? I don't.
I was looking to see if it.
Was 111 minutes ago.
135, February 6th, a couple days ago.
No, but up top it says the brutes back. That's 11 minutes ago.
Oh, okay. So he's not off the card. Just google Jimmy Crude off UFC card. I. I read that three different fights were off the card.
I don't know, man.
And Crute was one of them.
I like that mullet.
Oh, okay. He's in there. I like that dude. That mullet, he's. He's very good. Very good ground game.
He's got a Kimura.
What way is he fighting at?
Isn't crude a middleweight?
He looks 185, I believe.
Yeah, I think he's a middleweight. Light heavyweight. Oh, he's fighting lighthead. I think he did. I do believe he did. Is this a last minute replacement fight, Jamie, this Jimmy Crute Bellotto or is that the original? No, that's the guy he had. Right. It's interesting that he decided to do that. And he's an underdog and I don't know, I'm not familiar with.
Here's the thing. People hate on the card because not big names, but if you notice the way the fight those card structured, which is why I don't hate on it, is they're all gonna be, for the most part finishes. They're supposed to be.
Well, on paper, both of these never know.
But they're super exciting fights.
Prado and Jake Matthews is a very good fight to kick it off with. I'm. I'm real excited about this. They're both very good. Fun card. Yeah. It's just not one of them cards that like jumps out if you're casual.
You're like, where's Connor?
Here's the thing. We're so spoiled because in most sports, like, in most combat sports, it's all about the main event.
Yeah, yeah. Those. They either go away or they. You don't get.
Most people are barely watching the prelims in boxing.
Also, UFC has to fill a lot of cards, you know, so you can't have them stacked like this.
I get upset on a Saturday when there's no ufc.
I do, too.
I don't know what to do.
You don't know what to do?
Yeah, I. It's just. It just makes my day complete.
There is nothing better for me than. Nothing better for me than just chilling at home watching the fights. I feel so relaxed. I don't have to work and I can watch them.
Best thing on earth.
Oh, yeah. You watch the screen. You don't watch the actual.
Oh, I watch the fight when I can.
Yeah.
But the problem is there's some positions where. Especially when they're on the ground, like, I don't know if someone's trapped. I don't know how they have.
You can see it better.
Yeah. All I see is a back and a dude, and I'm confused as to what's going on. You know, I need to see the.
Monitor sometimes pillars in the way.
I need to see the monitor with replays all the time. We don't know if a guy got hit or if it's a headbutt. Like sometimes. I remember Matt Serra, when he fought Matt Hughes, and I thought Matt Serra dropped him.
And I did drop him. Let's talk about that.
Can we talk about that?
I wanted. Every time I hear him say it, oh, it was a head, but my head hit him. Connected. He.
Look at that head. That could take out a building. That head hit sour seven.
My hand.
I said that head hit tower seven.
This thing could go through a wall.
When my head touched his chin, my hand went.
Yes. It was certainly both, but it was definitely your head hit him first.
Yeah, but it. I feel 100.
Look, Matt, you always had crazy power. Yeah.
Hit him. He went through a lot.
He did.
But how about.
He's coming back. He looks really good.
Who's coming back?
Mat. No, I don't mean fighting. I don't mean fighting. I don't mean fighting. No, no, no, no. I mean coming back from his injury.
Come on, man. We can talk about that if you want. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. But where is.
What the. Okay. I said he looks a lot better since his. His rehabilitation. He's doing a lot of stem cells. Matt. Sarah. Excuse. Excuse me. Matt Hughes.
Thank you.
Sorry.
You always look great, Matt. Matt Hughes got hit by a train, you know, and so. No, no, no, no. His car stalled out or something. I don't know what happened.
I don't know, but it's depressing.
I don't know what happened.
Either way, it sucks.
What are you talking. What the. Are you introducing to the conversation? It's a train track.
Like, it's lunar.
Maybe he had somehow information on NASA.
He's a cybertruck.
Yeah, they knew something. But anyway, point is, like, he looks great. Like, he. It's been a long road for that guy to recover from legend. He seems a lot better now. He walks a lot better. He's talking a lot.
I seen him in Manchester. We did a signing over there, like a year ago.
How was he? How was he then?
Yeah, all right. No, he's good. I mean, he's not.
He's not 100.
He's not. Yeah, he's. Yeah.
How's Brian Callan?
Yeah, yeah.
I think that he's. He's living. I don't think he's as sharp as major.
Major brain injury.
He had some brain injuries, you know.
Yeah. I mean, especially that. The car accident with the train. After a long career, it was like, you know, a lot of rock and soccer, robots fights.
I worked with him on Kingdom, spent a week with him.
I love Matt.
And he was. And he was great. And we talked a lot about, like, he was like, I just want to be able to wake up, put my shoes on, you know, He. He didn't feel like there was anything, but he was worried about it.
This is before the accident?
Yeah. I said, you have.
That was like 2005.
No, that was 2000. 20. 15. 10 years ago. Yeah, but what I'm saying is that he was. He was totally fine, and he just. But it was always a worry for us, you know.
Who seems to be doing good as Frank Trigg. You see him as a ref out there? Yeah, that's what you want.
Looking nice and fat.
Yeah.
Tricks big.
He's thick.
He's thick. He's.
No, no, no. He seems happy, man. I ran into him a few times.
But that's who you want as a refer. As a judge.
100.
Like, these judges tonight, you know, disrespect. What the. Like, you think they're gonna be able to judge Strickland's defensive striker fighters?
I don't understand.
Well, who knows who they have? Maybe they have good ones.
Can I just tell you?
Chris Leben's been judging.
Yeah, Chris le.
Chris Leben's great.
He judged the last one.
Yeah.
When I'm having a bad day, I put in my Knockout of Frank Tree. You know why I take shots of this? Let me tell you right now, I'm cool with everybody I ever fought. Now I, you know, I flux. I used to fluctuate.
Yeah.
I've been staying.
You mean weight wise?
Weight wise.
Yeah, you get. You'd get thick, but.
But what?
Would I fluctuate in other. No, I got fat.
I remember when you wear a brown belt. I've known Matt since 1990.
Yes. And the only man I ever kissed.
That's right.
You guys are wearing lips. Yeah, but that was, you know.
But I think you went to kiss me on the cheek and I moved my head and then we.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For the folks at home, let me say this so it'll key up. So what we do is when the first scorecard. The first time card, rather clock, countdown, clock goes on, I'll give you the numbers so you can sync up. 4, 4, 58, 450 or 4544-534524-51450, 449. Good enough.
All right.
Figured out. All right, so first round, Matthews and Prado.
I get that light over there, Joe?
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
How's my favorite person? Hensel Gracie?
Man, you tell me, man. He. I talked to him through Instagram sometimes. He's all over the world, man. He's.
I gotta get Henzo in here, man. He's.
Give him.
He is the best.
We almost did it one time. He was in Austin, but the timing was bad.
He's so smart.
He was just recently in Austin and so, so smart.
Well, he's got gyms all over the world, right?
Oh, yeah.
He's brilliant. He's just a brilliant.
One of a kind. Yeah, the best.
Well, it's just a great human being.
Wasn't Ricardo Almeida doing judging?
He was judging.
He was the first one I heard of doing it.
This is the guy you're high on right here, Matthew.
I like Jake Matthews. I don't know. Let's see if he looks to take it to the floor. He's got a big advantage on the floor.
Nice.
He's sharp on his feet.
His defense has been looking good, too.
Yeah, his defense has been looking very good.
Just gets low and sits down.
He's super technical and he's like, I Said he's one of those guys. It seems to me like he's gonna break out into the top five. He's one of those guys that's got the talent, and he's real young. How old is Jake Matthews? Junkie young.
Jamie, he's been around a hot second.
Maybe 29 if I'm guessing.
I say 31.
But he's just like, one of those guys that's always been, like, at the cusp.
It's an interesting back tattoo. That much?
Do you like it?
Yeah.
What does it make you think of it?
I don't know. It's an interesting idea. Like, I'm going to cover just that part of my back.
What are you thinking? The tram stamp?
I mean, it's a.
It's.
It's not so much like that.
It's more of a. Yeah.
Maybe he's going to do the whole back. Yeah.
It looks like the beginning of a. Of a. Of a whole back test when he.
Was goofing on me.
Yeah, it's probably.
That's like a tribal thing, right? That's like a New Zealand tattoo.
Yeah, maybe. Or it looks like a Japanese.
Oh, good uppercuts inside. Good knees, too.
Oh, damn.
Matthews is dangerous. Doesn't that dude look like Drew Dover Prado?
A little bit.
A lot.
Nobody, nobody has Drew jobbers.
Just not quite as handsome. That's like Drew Dober's bitter younger brother who's not as good looking.
Yeah.
God damn it.
Didn't get all these.
I bring my girlfriends over, they're staring at Drew.
He does look like him.
I'd always be chewing gum.
Oh, he's on his tippy toes when he's fighting that. Who's got better, like, constant staying on the ball feet than Drew Dover? He's always, like, light on his feet. Always super light on his feet.
He's a chin like Mr. Incredible.
I'm the exact same.
It's ridiculous.
B striker, too. B striker.
Fun fighter.
Yeah. Oh, my God.
These guys are.
I wish. Matthews has good jiu jitsu, man. I'm telling you.
Oh, he's got good everything, man. Matthews is super well rounded. Somebody's gonna get knocked out, but Prado's good, too, man. This is a good fight.
Yeah. Somebody's gonna connect.
This guy's got that anger. Drew Dover being handsomer than him, too. That carries you a long way.
It does.
You think about it, because it's just a little bit. It's like, God damn it. If my nose was just a little different. Yeah.
Eyes are just a little More. It's like a poor man's Drew Dober.
Yeah. You know how, like, Kanye dated that new lady. He's married there. Yeah. It looks a lot like.
Which is hot. But it's not Kim, right?
I think she's way hotter than Kim.
You see Kim in person?
I have.
Yeah, but we see pictures, bro. Come on. What's the deal?
Kim's beautiful, but I mean, come on.
No, you know, it's like. It's like Drew Dober's a Royals Royce Phantom, and he's a Chrysler 300.
I think that girl was born looking like that, though. You know what I'm saying?
I agree.
Like, I don't think, like, I was.
It mad when she showed up to the Grammys naked. I was like, this is ridiculous. I'm like, okay.
I think hers is. I don't think her titan.
I think her tits might be real.
They're all real. Shut your mouth.
Facts.
If you can touch them, they're real.
Shut your dirty. Shut your dirty. Nice.
Does that count as a takedown? Hey, dude, that's condescending.
It's a home run cond.
You were joking.
Yeah, I like to get people, you.
Know, I like to ask the questions that novices are.
Oh, right, right. I do that sometimes in podcasts.
You got to create some energy in the podcast.
I ask questions.
I can't get people to relax.
Yeah. Come on, man. Get him down now.
Put him down. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.
Prado. Come on, Prado.
Matthews.
I've been a Prado fan for.
Oh, somebody's getting caught in the right hand.
Great defense.
Jake is clean, man. He's clean. I like the way this dude strikes.
These guys have been doing some boxing.
Super technical, man, but. Yes, but hyper aggressive, too. Look at that.
Oh, he blocked it, though. He blocked.
He hit him with the yair. Yeah, they're jumping round. I was always bleeding now.
Damn.
Oh, Prado's busted up on his right eyebrow.
Yeah.
Joe, you know one of my favorite moments when you guys it up when you had Zuckerberg on, and he goes, I hunt.
Oh, no.
I went like this. Yes.
What is he on?
He just.
I went, yes.
He goes.
And then my favorite goes. I bow hunt. I went, thank you, God.
I love.
Because I saw Joe. I saw Joe go, Do you. What kind of bow do you use?
I think he did. I just forgot his bow. Oh, you forgot the name of his bow. Listen, there's levels to this. I would never forget my bow, but I'm a fanatic. Like, I shoot archery Every day.
Yeah, because you shoot bows and arrows.
Yeah, he does. He. This video has. No, no, he definitely.
It's like saying I played laser tag.
He definitely bow hunts pigs. He lives. He lives on an island. He has an island in Kauai that's infested with wild pigs. He know. He does hunt them. I've seen videos of him doing it.
I've seen it.
It's just. Someone gives him a bow, he doesn't look at it. He doesn't care. Somebody teaches him how to shoot. He's not. He doesn't know what release he has. If I said, what do you have? You have a stand, you have a wise guy. What do you have?
Too much for that.
Why would you use a hinge? Do you have a knock, too?
My favorite part.
You can tell, like, if you're gonna talk boas with Joe or pool or even cars, you better come correct. So I just know when he goes.
Yeah, I bow hunt.
And I thought, oh, but.
But this is Zuckerberg 2.0, and I love it.
He's doing.
He's doing testosterone. He's doing jujitsu. I don't know if he's doing test. I hope he's doing test. I think he is, but he certainly looks a lot thicker.
Great.
When he came in, I was laughing at him. Like, your neck looks bigger. Look at your neck.
Yes, he turned into a conservative.
Yes.
Just convenient.
Yeah. Well, also, hard work makes you think that way. Hard work physically makes you, like, appreciate some masculine aspects of life.
I'll tell you right now, if he. If he fought Elon Musk, and Elon Musk is sleeping on the jiu jitsu. I know he's. Because sometimes when you hear Elon Musk talking about the fighting, you're like, oh, stick to the rockets, buddy.
I don't want to see either of this. Fight is heating up, kids. These guys are going.
Elon has some wild. He could be like Trump.
He looks like warm cheese. You see him with his shirt off. God bless. I love him.
He's a lot thinner now. We got on that Ozempic, son.
Okay, dude, everybody's.
What is with that?
He's got. His skin is so wide.
I've seen.
I've seen darker clouds, but what.
Well, it's a little bit of a cheat code, because what it does is it makes you not hungry, and so people don't eat as much. And you go in a calorie deficit. But you could do that on your own.
They use it for addiction.
It's called discipline.
It's a cheat code for people. But the best way to do. If you want to do it on your own, just only eat meat. I swear to God, you'll lose a ton of weight.
Of colitis. It does wonders for my.
Did you have that?
Yeah, I got it.
They're using Ozempic for. For addiction.
Yeah. Ozempic's got a bunch of other uses, too. And it's also like, for diabetes.
Doesn't it stop addiction overall, though? I heard people.
Yeah, yeah, but what is it?
It ruins your body.
It's got to be. Is there any tests on it, like, in the long run?
Well, the problem is anytime you go into calorie deficit, your body starts eating itself. So what people are losing is not just fat. They're losing muscle and bone density. So Peter Attia, who's a good friend of mine, did some studies on his patients that did it, and he found that even when they lost weight, they got fatter, so they actually gained more fat and they lost muscle and bone mass. But this is what I think. I think. Were those people lifting weights while they were on that stuff? Here's the thing. I feel like you got to do something to mitigate the fact that you're. And also just. You can't. You got to be rational. You can't, like, just try to starve yourself into thinness because you're gonna. Your organs up. It's not good. You. What you really should do is make sure you consume enough calories to support any kind of physical exercise you're doing. And then make sure you do physical exercise while you're also taking that stuff. And maybe then you can keep some muscle.
That takes discipline. They want to just take the shot, get skinny and lean.
People do get skinny, though. It works.
And it sucks being a fat guy, right?
Yeah, but how fat were you?
Like, how about this? Like, right now? Buck 85.
Okay.
What? See my. You.
Oh, okay.
Listen to me.
No, but let me get my hand on my.
When I was a fatty, I was up to 230, and I'm 5 6. When you're listening, if you got fat, you'd be like, oh, Brendan's a little husky.
I've been fat.
When you're my height. I'm pointing to Joe, too. He's taller than me, though.
230 is a lot.
Dude, I was heavy.
That must have hurt your joints. Did that hurt your joints?
Not so much my joints. It's just I felt like a fat guy.
Dude, your lower back didn't with you or not?
Why My lower black back went out at one point. And I'm sure that didn't help it, you know, but I was. And then I got on trt, but I was still heavy because I'd be eating like a pig. But this goes back to the trick thing because I didn't want to sound like a bully. The only reason I with that guy still is because after I knocked him out years later, then I got fat. He called me up one time looking for Ally Aquinta's number. So I got sure I gave it to him. He had Al on the show when Al was getting off. He goes, hey, tell the beer keg. I said hello. So I don't forget like that. I don't forget it. Now that he's a fat guy and I'm in shape, I like to take a shot.
A good right hand.
I hope he goes for a takedown.
Man, that much Matt I've seen.
I. I know he has it. So, like, why this guy use it?
I think he's doing really well on the feet. That's why he wants to get a k. Ally Quinta.
People forget was that Khabib couldn't take.
Him down with Khabib even. But still a short notice for Al. I know it's a different fight for Khabib, but he struggled in that fight. Al had his moments.
Did a good job defending takedown.
He was also set to fight Paul Felder. So he was about to fight a totally different fight. Totally different 24 hours notice. He did the. He had the best fight with Habib that anybody ever had. It's amazing.
He didn't get dominated. He lost the fight, but he didn't get dominated. Like a lot like Conor did or a lot of other guys did. Got smashed.
Conor had some success too in that though too.
He did, yeah.
If you watch it again, there was one ass whip.
Yeah.
You're like, he did better against Khabib almost than anybody else for a while.
Conor.
Yeah. Yeah.
And his camp was atrocious that time. It was bad camp. Yeah. Very bad.
His.
His trainer talks about just. It was like a dark camp. He wasn't training with the team. He's like in his head about. He was like. It was a dark camp. It was horrible.
This is post Floyd.
Yes.
Yeah, that's a problem too. Right. You get ready for a boxing match with one of the all time greats. You got to take six months where you're not doing any takedowns, no leg kicks, nothing. All you're doing is boxing.
Bad idea.
You you're not going to take any extra energy and train your jiu jitsu when you're training for a Floyd Mayweather box.
Khabib, the greatest grappler we've seen out there waiting forever.
It's a terrible idea when he's on top of him going let's talk now.
Now the other side. A ton of money.
Did you hear it? You were right. You were there for that fight. Yeah, who?
Yeah, who was it that said. Someone said recently that I think if the Conor McGregor who beat Eddie Alvarez face Khabib have been a completely different fight.
Right.
I probably said that.
I don't remember who it was but I, I, I, I listened to that and I said, you know what? I think that's true.
How do you solve that?
I think he was a different guy, but I think he was a different guy. He was a animal space management, I.
Think it was that said that.
Yeah, but you're right. Coach wrestling doesn't care about that. Once he closed distance, it'd be a problem for Connor.
Oh, it always going to be a problem. But Conor was so good on his feet back then.
So good. So elusive too.
I like the clips of him getting interviewed back in the day saying partying is weakness for your soul. And then his clips now of him being like he's all pumped.
It's like we want him to come back. And then happening.
Well, he knows too, Jimmy.
Of course he knows.
Oh my God. Jake Matthews is walking this out of there.
He's put on this. If you're the first find the main card, you're there to finish.
Well, also he's trying to make a name for himself and he's in Australia, you know, home country, the whole deal. That's where he's from. Right, right. And he from. I think he is.
He's Australian.
Yeah. You have to have your hometown boys when you have a a fight on a a card in the motherland.
That's why poor Strickland going back there.
Yeah, but Trickus is from South Africa. It's like it's kind of neutral ground. Same area.
Same area, same area. It's different continent. But you know what it means.
Totally close.
Closer than Vegas where Strickland is.
And not much.
I just re watched that one.
That's got to be a though, Matt. You're a fight. Do you ever fight and have to get ready?
How'd you score? Was Strickland.
I was that. You gave it to Strickland? It was. I mean how much do you the takedowns. What do you. How much do you give for the takedowns? He didn't do.
I don't think he got struck at all.
So it's like, how do you score those? I thought Strickland won. I thought he won three to two.
But same.
It was very. I mean, it's all how you. The other. I'll tell you though, Drake is. Does he mixes in those takedowns and I think sway some judges, they see big. They say big moments instead of the whole round. He's a big dude too.
He also pushes forward. So yeah, you remember Strickland's the one who pushes forward always. He's got and.
But octagon control when you, when you, when you go through the judging slash.
No, I understand. But. But the thing about. He's going to be moving forward always. And, and I think Sean is used to moving forward himself, so he's gonna be fighting on his back foot.
But then also Strickland's not getting points because his defense is so good.
He's.
He's blocking a lot of shots, but it looks like they're landing, but he's actually blocking.
Y rolls good with that Philly shell. But how much did that cut, how much did that affect him? That happened early on. He said he was a one eyed guy.
Early on he talked.
Plus the judges see that that's damaged. That's the number one judging criteria.
What did. What caused that, that cut?
A headbutt, they said, right?
Was it a headbutt or a punch?
Yes, I thought it was a headbutt.
It was a great fight though. Still a very good fight.
People that say it's boring. I'm like, man, I thought it was great.
It was a high level, very high level.
I'd imagine Duplessy's hard to get ready because you can't find anybody who spars.
Like that, can't mimic them.
Right.
It's like he almost fights like a drunk bark.
I was like, pro Oscar. Good luck getting ready for that.
That was awesome.
His last fight, oh my God.
He puts him. He like trusts his like spider sense. He goes right in front. He's like, it's crazy, man.
And his head movement has gotten so much better. And those counters, those pull counters. He hit him with a couple of pull left hands and then a right hook counter after that. Oh, my goodness. It was blah, blah. It was like duck the punch, blah, blah, blah.
What do you do with Yuri though, you know?
Wow. It's like one more and then maybe tries Alex again.
I got one for you. What about Robert Whitaker at 205? Gary, Robert Whitaker.
Yuri.
Is that Rob? What Robert wants to do? He wants to go to 205. Really? That's crazy for a guy who started at 170.
At 170 it's tough.
He's saying it's tough for him to make 85.
He's bigger now.
Robert Whitaker's thick.
Imagine. I mean, we've seen it before. What about rumble? Rumble starts his 170 moves up to heavyweight.
I was doing, I was doing warrior with him. He was 2:30 on set. 2:30. And not that he sucked down to 170, bro.
He was so big. I ran into him in a hotel once. I'm like, how the are you ever 1 70? He was so big. His shoulders were as wide as a barn.
And he sucked down at 170.
He was. And he. And he didn't have an ounce of fat on him. He was 235.
He's walking around 235.
Can't be healthy.
No.
It should be illegal.
But when he would get in there, oh my God. He would hit guys. They would just go flying.
What did he die of?
I don't know. He had some sort of organ failure.
He has an organ failure.
Some organ thing.
Tragic.
What is that? Alp. What is that?
That's one of them. This is Tucker Carlson's nicotine power.
Oh, he's got his own thing.
Yeah, that's Tuckers. They're good. They're really good. Are they? Yeah, they're very good. Well, the, the people from Zinn didn't like him, apparently. Oh, he said he, he said something joking around that'll make your dick grow. Just playing around. And they, and they said something about.
You know, I don't either.
We don't think that. And don't don't. So we don't agree with, with what he said. It's not true. Like a duh.
Duh.
Nobody really thinks it makes your dick grow.
I didn't with him before. I definitely don't know.
Scott, it's a corporation.
Corporations are owned by ce.
You don't like the nicotine.
They're run by people, Black buffalo, who.
Don'T want to be involved in anything controversial. And they probably thought that, that being involved with Tucker Carlson was controversial.
So he started his own thing.
So he started his own thing. It's really good.
They're.
They're better.
You ever seen Tucker drives like a old school F100.
Yeah. Because he doesn't want the government to have access to his gps, no electronics. He's got a carburetor.
That's a good.
Well, if you're that guy. If you're doing f102 hour episodes about a guy who supposedly sucked Obama's dick.
Dude, that was wild. I had to. Listen, bro, I have to give it a go.
You got to be, you know, watching your six, bro. You're. What did you do, dude?
That was a fight, man.
Very good fight.
Yeah, he's got that, though. Matthews, I think.
I think so.
He does. But Prado's badass, man.
Yeah, it's a good fight. Jake's so good and tight.
Yeah. Look at this, though.
There's the trip boom, there's takedown.
Tucker's way bigger now that he's on his own. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Way bigger. Way bigger.
He's so good. He's undeniable. He's.
He's a super nice guy. Yeah, yeah. Like, I had a friend of mine, had him on his podcast and he has this lady who works with him that's like real liberal, bro. And he said she didn't want to like him, but she loved him by the end of the show.
He's a great guy. He knows exactly why he stands, where he stands. Like, he's really thought out every position. It feels.
Well, he's not a liar.
He was a little weird when he was on Fox because, you know, he's pushing the agenda. But then when he went on his own, I'm like, yeah.
Towards the end of Fox, towards the end of his run, he was like the only guy on the news talking about real.
Yeah.
And you know, and talking about things that were very controversial and people did not want him talking about.
That's why they fired him.
They fired him when he was at the top cop. That's what's crazy. He was the number one guy on Fox.
That was the dominion, though.
But it was a lot of different things. There was multiple different. I mean, it was. No one was happy.
They're right. Both the Fox NCN ratings suck. 5k gets more views.
Yeah. At this point, it's a weird medium because there's too many commercials. You have to watch it at the time.
That's how they make money through all the advertising. And it's all pharmaceutical companies.
It's just too hard to compete with the Internet when you have that hindering format.
But also the news on there, it comes out way faster.
Oh, yeah. But I mean, they're good for like people that have, you know, editorial talk and breaking things down in a Funny way. And showing you clips of people going nutty. And, you know, it's. They're good for. For certain things that's different than the Internet. And then they put clips of those things. Those things, you know, it's kind of like it's become almost like a viral Internet show.
Yeah.
Because each one of them, like the 15 minute ones, when they put them out, you know, those get a lot of views, probably more than they even get on television. It's weird because it's like regular television is. Nobody wants to watch it. Nobody wants to watch a regular.
You still don't trust it anymore. You just don't trust any of it.
They even have sitcoms anymore, like new ones.
And, you know, honestly, Ms. Pat is.
A really good one, but it's on bet's app.
She's great.
She's great. But other than that, I don't know anybody.
I like. I like tires with. With.
That's great. That's kind of a sitcom. I mean, it's a single camera.
Yeah.
It's a show, but it's a. Yeah, it's a comedy show.
Funny. Oh, Netflix got it.
We got season two coming.
Oh, that's gonna be great.
It's all changed so much, man.
That's. That's an enjoyable show.
This business has changed.
Change the man.
David Spade are doing a sitcom.
Right.
There's some funny coming back. Even that. The. The heavy. I don't want to say the Heavy. Say Greek guy, but I don't. Forgot his name. He's on your show? Yes. Let's start a cult. It's a good. You see it?
No.
Oh, it's funny. Oh, it's like, you know, it's a throwback. It's like a. It's one of those stupid, silly comedies. It was good. Really good.
He's a funny dude.
There's not a lot, is there?
There's not. Dude.
Well, it must be the whole thing. Used to be the whole thing on television was getting a sitcom. They're stopping.
This is great. I love this.
This.
I never saw it.
It's good. It's on. I got. I bought it on Prime. I.
It's on Hulu.
I think I got it. If I saw maybe on here or somewhere. This was great. This is a funny. This is a funny. A funny. A funny movie. Because it's not trying to push a. It's a movie. It's not giving a message. He's. Dude, he's showing his balls.
It's.
It's funny. It's just a funny I don't want to get any messages delivered to me. I just want to have a good time.
He's a funny dude. Yeah, I don't need that. I don't need you again. Don't give me a message.
I only watch documentaries. Really? Like any OJ doc? Make more, bro.
You know what's good? You know what? You like Nosferrado? Have you seen Nostril?
I watched it. I thought it was all right.
I listened to your recommendation.
It's a movie.
People love it.
The best vampire movie of all time.
What'd you think of American prime level?
Oh, I like it.
Great.
Early on. I told you to watch that. That was good.
That's a great show.
It reminds you of like the. The. The one with Leonardo DiCaprio.
I just can't stand here why Brennan Shaw is disrespecting Nosferato.
You know why? You know, if we're gonna discuss it, it's gonna be a spoiler alert. How he dies in the end. Just lays down with the chick in the sun.
Did a pack. She'd give herself to him.
Bro, you gotta die.
Wait, is this a remake of the old one?
Yeah, but it's got a lot of different going on. But the. The dude who plays Nosferatu is the same dude who played it. He played Pennywise. You know what's a good show starts? What?
Scars something.
Bill. Scars.
Yeah.
See the old man, Jeff Bridges.
It's good for one episode.
I only saw.
That's it, man. I fell off of it.
Yeah, it's really good for one episode. You're like, wow, can they keep this going? And then it gets stupid.
Oh, it does?
Yeah, they get stupid. They're like, wait a minute. They would track you. This is stupid.
Hey, that. That American Prime.
They can find you. You can't drive across the country. Shut the. She's not to fall in love with you. You kidnapped her. This is.
Hey.
That American Primeval. So is there a season two or is it just done?
It's done. Peter Bur can make a movie and a tv.
Oh, yeah. He made Painkiller. He made Pain. Painkiller. Sackler family thing.
Why Sackler's not on some island somewhere?
That's a good question. What happens now?
Murderers.
Let's see what happens now with Trump. Let's see what happens.
They're the worst people on the planet.
Speaking of series, before we get off series, man, because I love this silo I'm watching now, which is great. I'm on the second season. I love finding something Late. So there's like two seasons. I get excited and even better, Grant Dawson, UFC fighter Grant Dawson, bigger nerd than me. He gives me all to watch from.
Oh, what's wrong?
That's the whitest. Oh, it's good. We tried to do an algebraic story and we will it.
So good. You watching it?
What are you doing at.
I'm finished it.
I'm on the first season.
It's such a far way to go.
It's. You want to explain this?
It is so good.
It's almost like a Twilight Zone.
They're trapped in a town they cannot leave. And at night, these demons come out and kill everyone. So they have to hide at night.
They got monsters come out at night.
Monsters, Demons.
So they got.
What do the monsters look like?
People. People.
What? They look like people.
Yeah. Without giving too much, like the first episode, there's a little girl. And all of a sudden at the window, it's grandma.
Because they can't come in the house.
They can't come.
So they try to get the kids to let them in the house and they.
And they. Yeah, and then. But they devour them. And you can't fight them. You can't shoot them. They rip you apart.
What are they?
They're just. That's the thing. It's almost like a type of show. Like you're like, wait, what the. Are they. How'd they get there? They were all traveling on different parts. I don't want to give too much away, but you know what?
It's hard to explain.
It is hard to expl.
Very complicated.
What's it on?
So I bought it on Prime.
I bought it on Apple the first season.
Apple. That's right. Apple, I think. Yeah. Oh, so good.
Season three.
I'm.
I'm on the first season. I'm almost done with it.
Jesus. It's got three seasons.
Yeah, three seasons. It's fantastic.
Believable and scary as hell. Stephen King, balls deep in it, man.
I like it.
Jesus. Damn. I'm in. I'm in.
Yeah, it's great.
I'm gonna right jump.
It's worse.
This fight with was epic. Gastelum and.
Oh, there's no problem here.
I'm prepared to die. That's what he said there.
Best middle weight fight of all time.
Why do all black guys like anime?
That's not true.
Not all black guys.
Generalize. I've never met a black guy in my life who likes anime.
You never met a black animal?
I have.
Not the only one. I.
No.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm Thinking my student Marcus, my brother in law, Edwin, they love. I mean, I don't know. I could. I can go on.
Is it a younger kid?
I don't know.
I don't know. No, man, Edwin's, you know, 40. Yeah, he's 40. That's weird or something. Yeah.
I don't know.
Not all black. I don't want. Let me just put that out there.
Like anime, you know, it took the.
Place of kung fu movies.
Is that what it is?
Players are arguing over their favorite anime show. Are they really?
What is it?
NFL players.
All right, the first hundred. My daughter was in the anime. Hard.
Interesting.
I can't get into it.
Yo, I had my one fighter, young Marcus. He was down two rounds and I went into the third round. I know he loves anime. I go, marcus, forget that. You're living your anime movie and you're the hero. And I went nuts.
And he's like, yeah, yeah.
He went out and strangled the guy. I go, dude, come on, man. Black star.
Well, let me say that letter, Joe. Thanks, brother.
All right.
That's weird that. That worked.
Like a big kid. What did I do?
Look at Izzy, right?
I thought you're gonna say when I got it knocked out or something.
Oh, he's a Hall of Fame inductee. Fight wing the Kelvin Gasum fight. Oh, my God. Yeah, that's well worth one of the greatest fights of all time.
Legend.
Look at that jacket.
Oh.
What's going on? He just get inducted into the.
Yeah, for the Calvin Gasum fight. Wow.
Rightfully so.
Yeah, rightfully so. That's. That was an amazing fight.
Oh, my God.
That was one of the greatest all time fighters. Gas.
Gas.
Work this one.
Just pull down there. Oh, yeah.
Oh, here we go. Cr.
I'm tarded. Hey, can I have something where you just go like this? Oh, around.
Is it working?
Nah, I don't. Dude, I.
Listen, is it out of juice?
I'll help you, all right.
Yeah, it's out of juice.
Oh, here.
Oh, there you go. Thank God. I thought I was just a. Yeah, there's something.
It's in the bottom this little hole.
Where's your school?
Matt Huntington, Long Island. Yeah, man.
Holy.
I met you in like 98, 96. 96. Yeah, when you were on MAD TV.
That's right.
The Gracie Ku Klux.
I got my blue belt from Hansel.
Matt, remember when I met you, we. We went to your gym. It was like you picked us up. You picked us up at the train station.
Yeah, you had a gig. I was gonna fight BJ Penn. I was leaving that drive to Connecticut.
That's right.
And you had a gig somewhere. I picked you and Eddie Bravo up at the Hicksville train station.
Yep. We took a train from the city out to Long island, went to Matt's gym. It was awesome.
I showed you my apartment in the basement.
Yes, yes. Where you piss into the bucket every night. And he was, he was drinking so much water and because he was training and living in the gym, he had an apartment in the gym and he had a big old piss bucket. So like you take a jug, like a gallon jug, and stick his dick in it and put it right. And screw it back on so he.
Didn'T have to get out of bed, get up. I did that for so long that I. If. If even when I got married, I'd be doing it. And then finally my wife just says, listen, I'm done. You gotta. I'm done with that. And I'm like, all right. Also to just be hearing the hitting the Snapple bottle. My mother in law was over one time, she was helping to clean the room. She's like, why is that the. The Snapple? She's like, put it down, put it down. But yeah, man, I don.
Do that no more. I don't do that no more.
But yeah, I'll never forget, man.
That was like a awesome thing to see though. Dedication. You were living in the gym. He just had a bedroom there. He's like, all I'm doing is just training, just constant training, living here, teaching and training.
I get flashbacks now that now because sometimes like on Mondays I'll do the 7am and I'll do the noon also before I go home and do Unfilted with Jimmy. So I'll take a nap in my lounge and he brings me like flashbacks of, of between classes of like when I was younger. And I. You know what I mean? But now I got my. My castle.
Well, how about John Donner used to sleep on the mats. He probably still is a professor at Columbia.
John. John would be. I mean, yeah, he was working on his PhD.
Did John come out here?
Yeah, he's not here. He was one of the first guys. I talked him into it. Like way back in the day, in the middle of the pandemic, they were in Puerto Rico. I was like, get out of there where you can.
He's got a great sense of humor too. People don't know about him.
Oh yeah, he's a little twisted.
Literally. Literally. For a long time. Like they'd say like, if you were like, how you doing? He'd go, go yourself.
Yes.
Always in a rash card, no matter what.
Suffers no fools.
No.
Yeah. Fascinating guy, too. I mean, you want to talk about a cheat code that Gordon Ryan has, and he talks about it all the time. He's like, you have a guy who's got, like, maybe the greatest mind ever in combat sports. Sports, yeah. And he's your coach. And he's. He doesn't give a. About anything else. When he's not teaching, he's studying tape. He studies tape all day long. He's just a robot.
He's a minimalist, too, right? Yeah.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Hence, I was like, sometimes the guy come in, his head is down. He's just feeling like he's too deep, man.
It's too deep.
Always talking about philosophy.
His head is all like that.
Some days you can't talk to the guy. I'm like, what do you mean it's too deep? The guy's too smart for everybody.
Crazy, too. That, like, one thing that was said to him, one that Dean Lister said to him once, why would you ignore 50 of the human body? And he was like, that's.
That's when he was staying on my futon.
Really.
He was staying with me and Rodrigo Gracie at our apartment in Woodmere, and I brought him into the city. I met him in the 2000 Pro Ams. We both competed. He competed versus Mark Layman. I went versus Leo Vera on them, and we became friendly with that. And then I had him down. He was training at Longos. He was staying on my futon, and I'd bring him into the city. And that's when he met John.
Back then, nobody was at least in head, so nobody was really working ankle.
No, no. He took out most of the academies with that. Yeah, he was in there taking out their legs.
Nobody was in his prime. He was a monster. Dean Lister was a monster. He was so hard to deal with.
About as thick as a silver.
And he was obsessed with jiu jitsu, you know? You know, Jocko trained with them, and Jocko said, look at. Got a mind like a steel trap for jiu jitsu, like positions, encounters, and moves. It's like always, like, you have to be psychotic and obsessed, like chess. It's just, how long can you do it for? Yeah, right. And then he started fighting in the ufc. And when he was fighting the ufc, he wasn't a striker. He didn't have striking. It wasn't. It just wasn't good enough to. To hang with the best guys because, like, on the Feet. He'd be at such a disadvantage. And it's so hard to get guys down. Down. It's hard. But when it came to, like, straight Jiu jitsu, Dean Lister was a monster.
Oh, he was great.
He was so good. And he got big.
You remember Jeff Munson?
Oh, my God.
Does he live in Russia now?
Yes, he does.
Yes, he lives in Russia. He's married to a Russian. He speaks Russian.
Remember that tattoo on his back?
Yeah.
Remember there's that picture of him and against the SWAT team. He's, like, protesting.
I think he's a communist, right?
Oh, yeah. Full on.
Yeah.
Yeah. He's out of Russia. Yeah. Like, he's, like, all in. Yeah, he's all in with mother Russia. He always wanted to be a Russian.
Like, not a guy you want to get into conflict.
Yeah, dude, man.
Oh, yeah, he is.
He's smart. Yeah, well, smart.
Yeah.
He was also built like a grape. He was like one gigantic muscle.
Like a great.
There was just a grape with giant arms.
Use a tank.
Tank. Yeah. Definitely not. But I'll tell you what. Formidable. And he would. He was one of the first guys to do north south chokes. Yeah. And because he was so strong, people assumed that it was a goon move, that it was just. He would just grab your neck and squeeze it. And then people realized, like, no, it's basically like a guillotine from a different position.
Yeah, he's a badass.
Oh, my God. Look at the size of him. That was when he's at full juicy juice.
He looks. He looks great.
Find that picture of him in the riots. Good. Like. And you can tell they got the right guys. Like, what?
He's a cartoon. Look at him.
He's standing there with his Jesus hammer and sickle tattoo.
Monster guys with big chest that north. My father was. Used to be good at that. My father was a. Is a black belt on the henzo.
Just smother guys and then get the chokers.
There it is.
Was he at NCAA champ or. He was at intersection on his.
His Twitter. Yeah. And it's like capitalism. He's got a guy with a gun to another guy's head. It's his capitalism. He's standing for these rye guys.
How tall is the person that took the picture you?
Well, it's obviously like an angle shot because he's not that tall, but it's a terrifying.
He started as a wrestler, right? He wrestled.
Oh, yeah. He was an excellent wrestler. He was, like, very, very, very, very hard to beat in jiu jitsu, too.
How do you choke a guy. What do you do with that?
Strong, too. Just so strong and durable as. As a fighter, too. Remember we fought Chuck Liddell off, man. Yeah. He's adorable, man. Monson was a monster. Big dude, man.
There goes Jimmy Crute.
There we go. I got to swore that someone had said this was off the card. I think they lost three fights.
Mark Gard is. Looks like a sturdy individual.
Oh, he's a big. Yeah, he's a black belt.
Yeah.
Here we go.
Here we go. Oh, boy, he looks catchy, casual.
Am I wrong? And that Crute used to fight middleweight.
They're big boys, man. And look at that. I think so, because that haircut is fantastic. I'm pretty sure he's aerodynamic.
It looks thick. Yeah, it looks thick.
Looks like he's wearing Davy Crockett's hat. Look at that. There we go.
Jimmy Cruz's been in some crazy wars.
Yeah.
Come on.
This one's not gonna last long.
Snap. It's that first.
That first touch. I think you have heavyweights next, right? You got Toughen, the new kid who's undefeated.
Man, the heavyweight division is so shallow. I was just thinking that the other day, because if they don't make Jon Jones versus Tom Aspinall, what is compelling?
Nothing.
Unless they bring Francis back. Unless the PFL collapses and. And he gets released. Oh, boy. Oh, that Jimmy landed on top. That's a big up.
Oh, it's like starting to fight for a mount. Look at this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh, he's got the net.
The only way he gets this is if he gives it to him. If he wants out.
This is a terrible position for.
Dude, how's your elbow escape doing, pal?
Wow.
Come on, man. Get those hips movement. Yeah, dude. Incredible early on.
He's got.
He's got a good top game, too.
When he is visualizing his head before the fight, he probably didn't visualize this.
No good. Good pressure there with that right bicep, too.
Good pressure on the tattoo. Hell of a tattoo. Jeez. I think his arm looks.
Oh, he's hitting some hard shots.
Oh, look at this. Get that smothering shoulder pressure. Smothering.
Look at that arm triangle. Look at that arm triangle.
That's some good pressure. He could get his way to three.
These are hard left hands, too, and they're not getting blocked. Like, he's getting some good power in this. He doesn't like it.
Oh, I don't think he's got any answers.
It's called manicuring the target.
Once you see this.
Oh, oh, he's going under. He's going under.
He's looking for Kimura.
Yeah, he's looking for anything.
He's got good control, pressure. He's controlling the hips. He's spinning to the back.
After this, he might check a darth. He might take a dart. Yeah, yeah. Anaconda. Here he goes. Oh, here he goes.
All right, all right.
The kid's aware.
Let's see. Pummeled. Yeah, he's getting pummeled.
Rape, choke.
Let's go.
Did they still call it the rape joke?
They got mad at me for calling. I told me not call it that anymore.
What do you call. It's the Vanderly Silver.
I know. That's what we used to call it. The problem is that we in training, we would call it the racetrack. And then I said it in competition. We lost this fight. Canceled. Some away management issue.
That guy's fired.
That was the only one. Oh, that's the one we lost today. That today's.
Oh, yeah, he can go to three quarters here, too.
So if we're not called the rape truck, what should we refer to it as? They call it Joe.
They didn't give me a name. I said, it doesn't really have another name. And then someone said, you should call it the Eagle Claw. I'm like, shut the. Shut the up. I guess you call it like a.
Look at this.
Damn it.
God. Flowing.
It's flowing.
He's beating this.
It's smart than diving for the back and ending up on bottom, you know?
He's also taking advantage of the dude exploded. And then he pummels him with a couple of elos when he's nosy, trying to relax a little.
Kids could be exhausted. Exhausted.
100. He's already exhausted. He had to explode to try to get to that position. It didn't work. And now he's demoralized. He's too flat.
He's gonna threaten the Kimura again. Let's go.
Not much time to work, but he's got such dominant position. I'd like to see him soften him up some more damage, try to move to him.
He's trying to get them out.
He's gonna pull.
He's looking. Or he could sit back there.
Or I could take the back.
There's a nice kamora God pass from there. Kimura, half guard pass.
Yeah.
Oh, he just full control. He's. He's fully confident.
This round's ending on top.
The way he rode him right there, that's like, I could just do this all night. Long. That was like no worry about losing position. He just got to get out of that.
I assume the guy on the bottom, those are his coaches. They're going get up.
But he's doing such a good job controlling. I would say get out of that half guard.
He knows his escape rock routes.
Yeah, yeah.
He doesn't have many options, but he's.
Using the half card to control him a little bit. Oh, he gets back up. Nice. Boom, boom, boom.
Landed one too.
He's exhausted. Dude, I like this. Go. Oh, no. Oh, he dropped him.
The.
Oh, this kid's having the roughest night.
Come on, you got 10 seconds. Come on. 15 seconds. Come on.
I hope he goes.
He just looked up at the clock.
10 seconds.
Come on. First, first.
We need a second.
Elbows.
No, we need a second round.
Don't do it, don't do it.
Oh, he's getting.
You're okay, you're okay. You're okay.
This be a ten, eight round.
Yeah?
Oh, yeah. Ten eight round. Where I come from, that's ten, eight round.
And they don't throw out.
They need to throw those out more often, man, they're so stingy. I mean, how much time did he have on top? How much time you kept flowing? Beat him up.
His mouth is closed. He's breathing. He's fine.
He got. Shh. Look who's Brian's rooting for.
I'm not saying.
We're saying his coaches are going weird. Don't do that again.
Yeah, whatever. That match.
Don't do that.
I don't think he landed anything.
No, no, that was a 10, 8.
It's a 10 8.
Yeah. Full domination on the ground. Brutal ground and pound hurt him standing up.
Playing a turtle. Playing a turtle. First round, guys.
He's a thick neck.
He's got a thick neck. He's fine. His cardio is on point. He's not breath.
Five to 62 straight. Wow. Five to 62, that's a lot. That.
That sucks.
If that's not 10 eight round, bro.
Yeah, it's 10, but they need to do that more often because there's too many close rounds that they give 10, nine and they give a right around like this.
Damn.
I. I've been saying this forever. We need to get off that stupid boxing system.
Yeah.
MMA has too many factors to just have a 10 point system. Doesn't make any sense.
Why are they not changing that?
I don't know. They should change because they don't know.
How to kind of come up with an agree to.
Well, Doc. Doc Hamilton came Up with another system back in the day. He called it a half point system. And he explained it to me and it made more sense. Like there was. Instead of like full points for certain things, give half points for certain things.
Remember, the masses, though, are familiar with the scoring structure, so they confuse them more. That's PFL's problem. The smart cage. Suck my dick.
Yeah, well, here's another problem. Only three judges. Why? Tell me why are judges expensive? Get five judges or six judges. Judges. Have a bunch of judges.
Because they also shouldn't be ringside.
Sure, they're hard to see. As long as they have monitors. They have monitors now.
Yeah, but they can't get swayed by the crowd. Like, this should be a disclosed area.
No, it should be five. You want to hear that?
They should be in Ukraines.
You want to hear the Ukraine? You want to hear the guns? You want to be there while you're being a drone. You want to, like, hear guys yelling at each other. You want to be like, right there.
Get an airplane aerial point. Cruz got nice shots.
Because for you to say that like, well, I should probably be doing commentary somewhere else too, but. No, you want to be right.
No, because you're not dictating the fight.
That's true. But if you have a monitor but, you know, looking at it.
Correct.
But some of those guys.
No, they don't. I would rather have you judge the.
Fight well, I mean, way better. Leaving is obviously going to do a great job. Ricardo Almeida is going to do a great job. There's a bunch of. Look, the LA card had great scoring. The LA card didn't have any egregious decisions. Decisions. There was not one where everybody was like, what the. Is that right? That's pretty rare.
That's rare because a lot of times when it's so atrocious. Dude, you're talking about. That dude gets half his pay, you idiots.
I know.
It's insane.
It is insane.
A tough call's rough anytime you get it. My. My wife just had a kickboxing match over the weekend. Title fight.
Yeah.
She's 41. She lost a split decision. I gave her every round. I know. It's my wife, dude. I'll show it. Sticking and moving combos.
Wow.
It was a split decision. She fought a 26 year old. My wife's 41.
Yeah.
Yeah. I'm so proud.
It's amazing too, because she got into everything, dude.
She never. When I was. When I was fighting, she never threw a punch. Never threw a punch.
Was she an athlete?
Nothing in high School. Nothing in high school. Just a little Italian girl.
How old are your kids, Matt?
My oldest is going to be 16.
Next month, so they did. And did they go to any of your fights?
No. And they've been.
I was gonna say they think the mom's the fighter. Literally know the D.
Those Italian ladies have genetic anger.
She's. She's got.
They got a genetic anger inside of them.
Yeah, they're strong. Your wife's Italian, too?
No, I gave off on Italians when I was 21.
Oh, you're funny.
I was like, I can't be dating.
What is your wife?
Just a bunch of people. But, yeah, a lot of Viking.
Yeah.
This is a good fight.
Be your. Your wife is.
She's white.
She came off the Mayflower, son.
No, she's on. She's. She's Irish, Half Sicilian. Half Sicilian, half Irish.
Oh, she's half Sicilian wife.
Yep.
Oh, Bilato's wanting a lot of good, solid leg kicks. Isn't it crazy, Matt? Like, your whole career, did you get calf kicked once?
Not once.
It's a new trend.
I'm so happy it came in through.
Did you get kicked in the. Did you get kicked in the thigh, though? Not. Not a ton.
Well, I mean, yeah.
Fights, right, Matt?
I was good at catching it and coming with a right. To be honest, I want guys to.
Kick because you could take it down.
Oh, yeah. I was good at catching it right hand down the middle.
But isn't it crazy, like, there's never been a technique like the calf kick, where all of a sudden it came along and everybody had it and changed the course of fights and it's nothing crazy.
Nothing crazy.
Nothing crazy.
We still don't know what it ties. Never did it or do it.
Well, they. They. They stand with that left leg light. Oh, is that because they don't have to worry about takedown. So they stand straight up. So they stand straight up. And you see the ties fight. That left leg is very light.
So they check it.
It's just not good for getting taken down. It's not a good strategy unless you. You have elite, like, BJ Pen type battles.
These guys are banging, man.
Yeah, he's coming back so rugged.
He's actually. But he's also, like, kind of like catching a lot of the shots off his glove.
He's putting up a good round after getting dominated.
Yeah.
And he's actually. Actually a lot of the shots are grazing. He's got.
Well, he's landing a lot of hard leg kicks, man.
Over it.
Look, he did it Again and again and again. That left leg's gonna get chewed the up. What are you saying? Did you say crude's gonna knock him out?
Yeah, I think Cruz gonna knock him out. Really?
He's landing pretty flush. The kid's not moving. Yeah, Cruz.
Oh, you might be right. He just tagged him with two hard ones.
Yeah, he's catching him a lot now, Chris. Just a better boxer. This kid's hands are down.
Oh, he's getting those low kicks, though. Are brutal. Brutal. Oh.
Oh, this kid is rugged. Jesus, they're both.
God, it's got enough snap on it.
Another low kick.
Not good for your head.
I'm telling you. He limped a little on that one. Okay. He don't like it.
Nope.
He's trying to change stances. Yeah, his left leg's right now earning his.
Yeah, I didn't see that.
He kicked the mullet.
Oh, we tried to do one himself.
Himself looked like Charlie Brown, though.
Oh, that was terrible.
Okay, that's bad.
But it's also. His left leg is toast. Yeah, try spinning on.
He didn't know.
And he's like, yeah, it's like, oh, this thing don't even work anymore.
That's a great round.
Great way to answer a great round.
I don't know who won that round.
I think.
I think the other guy's got to go for broke.
He has to. Especially that first round. 10, 8. Even if you're on that last round.
It's tired, though.
Yeah, he's ahead one round for sure. At least one point. Yeah, even if that guy got 10, nine. That's round.
Yeah.
So he has to. It could be a draw if he loses the next round.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I think Cruise well to crude again. I mean, you just don't know. I think also they're in Australia. They're probably going to favor Crute.
Yeah, well, Crute's catching him more.
He definitely hit him with some good shots. Yeah, he hit him with the more meaningful blows for sure. But damn those. Dude, that's a lot of damage.
He's soccer kicking his leg.
How much does that count for?
Oh, I don't think as much as headshots judges.
The judges don't because definitely not as much as headshots. But man, it should mean a lot. Like when Pereira hits you there, bro. It's just a few of those. And you see guys like, even guys like Yan Bohovic, who's made out of metal. That guy was limping like he didn't like it.
He's like 43 now, like in his.
40S, but still top of the heap. People keep leaving him out of the discussion, but that guy went to a draw with Uncle Live.
Yeah.
And I mean, he. He's the first guy to go to decision. No, second guy, Bruno Silva went through decision with Alex too, by the way.
That. Right, Joe, that, that, that low kick is causing some problems. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, bro. His left leg makes your gun shy as he slanted like 30 of them. He keeps kicking.
Yanzo kicked his light heavyweight's pretty light too.
Well, I mean, just people are sleeping on him. They're not bringing up Yambahovich in the discussion of, like, who's next. It's Yuri, it's these guys, it's that guy. It's like, you got to bring Jan to that discussion. And he just went through major surgery. He had a shoulder surgery. Yeah, yeah. He tore something in his shoulder. I don't know when he's ready to return. I don't even know if he's done rehab. I'm not sure. But I mean, out of respect, I feel like you got to bring that guy up. He's an animal.
Hey, Joe, out of left field, but with the stem cells, you. When you get that out here, do you get the IV or.
Yes.
Yeah, because I plan on going to Columbia with my.
Well, I can do way more down there.
Okay. All right, then I'm thinking they can.
Do a lot, but it might. I don't know what the actual dose you need is. So this is what Brigham's argument is that ways to lie. Look, we have an amazing results with what we can use here in America, and they definitely use more cells in these other places. And there's certain things they can do, like in Mexico and Panama and Colombia that they just can't do here. The question is, is it more effective? Effective? This is the problem with it not being, like, legalized with the fda, because if it was and you could do in Mexico what you could do here, then you would be able to say, oh, this is too much. This is the right amount. Do more than this. It's just like your body doesn't utilize it. It's like there's a number that you're probably gonna get to that's the right amount of cells. We don't really know. All we know is it works.
We do know it works, though. The settle the science, bro.
I had a full length rotator cuff cuff tear in my shoulder. It's gone.
Wow.
See, that's what I'm saying, man. I never had shoulder issues and now I'm feeling my right shoulder bad.
Jiu jitsu's so rough on your shoulders. You think how many times you're in weird positions. But I need scrambling and your arm hits the ground and I'm still on the mat.
So I wanna. Yeah, I want to keep the body together.
We can get you here, we can get you in here. And if that works, you know, you don't need anything else. But the other thing is peptides. Get yourself some BBC 157TB 500. That's. Yeah.
The Wolverine Travis Pastrana is talking about. He had a shoulder problem for two years, I think his shoulder. He did stem cells? No, he did a BP.
BPC157.
He said that in a week it was gone. It was a. It was gone in a week.
Yeah, I had a knee issue. I hit you up about doing stem cell and I started that BC157.
Yeah.
Transcend, dude. I don't have any issues with my knee.
It's incredible.
I can, you know, I run to me.
Sounds like a droid.
You turn into Wolverine. It heals.
It heals quick.
Dude, look at this.
And that's why it's healing.
This is interesting.
I need it.
Well, why are you using something that's not approved by the FDA?
Brendan 50 man.
Why are you using something that's not. Why are you giving out advice in a public forum not approved by the fda? I mean, until you know it's good, whatever.
Yeah, I don't. I don't like looking in the mirror. It just gets worse every six months.
Just go bald like these guys.
Brian, for God changes with rfk if he gets in, I hope that peptides become everywhere. You help a lot of people. And by the way, this, this Wegovi, this Ozempic, that's a peptide?
Yep.
Is it?
Yeah.
GLP1 agonist.
Wow.
I hope he chills out on the vaccines for kids too.
Yeah, yeah, I think so. Oh my. Another low kick. Oh my goodness. So that left kick, that left leg route has got to be up.
I can't believe this guy's still even in the fight though.
It's a good fight.
Yeah, he's kind of. He's borderline winning this round.
Kevin Aioli, he's pretty good at judging fights. Been around for ever. Gave the last round your guy, Brian.
He did.
He has it. 19.
19.
See that? The thing is, it's like those leg kicks have compromised him so badly and he keeps landing than him like Crute. Just can't get off. He can't move. Right. Right now. See, like, even, like, he's closing the distance.
Scored there.
Yeah, but he's.
He's falling forward. His left leg is all up.
Scored again, though. He's. Yeah, he is. He is making contact to his head.
He's making contact, but he's like. He's limited to, like, one leg in his arms.
Yeah, he's still catching him.
Oh, my God. He's trying to go southpaw now.
Jesus.
This is.
This is rough, bro. That tough way to make a living.
Low kick has changed this whole fight. Another one, dude, he hit him. Another one. Another soccer kick and another one, bro. It's just. He's relentless with that low kick, and I love when guys do that. I want to see more of that, cuz.
It changes everything.
Oh, my God.
Dude, keep your tongue in your mouth, bro. Get that.
Oh.
Oh, it just slapped Tomahawk.
So disrespectful. Yeah, he ran into the cage.
Oh, no, they're cool. That's.
Isn't that crazy?
That was insane, dude.
He hit him with, like, a karate chop. Good. Goddess.
I think. Crude. Crude. Got it.
I think so, too.
Who knows, man?
Hell of a fight.
It's close.
That could be a draw, if anything.
It's a draw.
That could be a draw. I would have to go watch the second round and not talk.
Yeah, I think a little back kick.
Honestly, he caught him with the toes, though.
Spent more time on top.
And did he get a 10, 8 round?
Yeah, yeah. The bat. When you land a back kick with the toes, it doesn't have much on it because your foot gives great. So, like, when you land it with your toes, like that sidekick style, your foot gives. Oh, you really want to land it with the heel like Jon Jones did with Stipe. Heavy weight to do a spinning kick and perfect. Like, right, you see his. We. We watched it in slow mo to watch his ribs cave in. Nasty, bro. It's like halfway into his body cavity.
Rough.
Why is he sticking his tongue out?
He was doing that for, like, 10, five seconds.
That's the last few seconds of the fight.
Jab that, you lose your tongue.
He's gonna be limping for a. For a good two weeks.
Oh, yeah. Those leg kicks swell up so much.
You took those from Gonzaga.
That must have been the next morning at the airport. I had to be in a wheelchair.
Are you serious?
Yeah, I beat the brakes off them, and I was in a wheelchair. He. He's walking around.
Oh, leg kicks are horrible.
The worst.
Remember Aldo And Uriah Faber. That was the worst. Here it is. Watch this.
Watch this.
Watch. Watch how deep John's heel goes into Steve's body. Look at this. Boom. Oh, my God. Look how deep it goes into his rib cage, bro.
You break all your ribs.
All of his organs just had to get compressed.
You perfect.
It's like perfect horse kicking.
You perfect spinning back, bro. It's such a powerful kick. There's so much torque.
His feet deep.
It goes in. That is so crazy.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Oh.
Here's. Here's the judging. It's a draw.
He won now, Crute one majority draw. Really?
Wow.
He should have. That means he didn't get that.
I don't care.
That's the 10, eight round. The first round. And it means the other guy won the next two. Two and that's it.
One judge gave it to the group.
Wow. That's surprising.
We'd have to watch that second fight. Our second round, rather.
It was close. Nobody got robbed. Like you would say. I have no problem with draws.
Oh, no. We got the heavyweight. That should be Diego Lopez versus Yair Rodriguez. They're gonna do. Is that what they're doing? That's what they're gonna do. That's what I heard. I think Lopez is that announced is coming.
I don't know how.
Yeah.
Gets down to 45. That guy's huge.
So Lopez, bro. Lopez sick. Diego's big and Diego's got some pop.
Pop power.
Those fight nerds are on to something.
Steve Erno, Brandon.
That's a good fight. AR got a great fight with Pantosia.
He did.
Real close fight with Pantosia. Real close fight. And when you know how good Pantosia is, that's super impressive.
Who's Mara fight now next? O'Malley?
That's a good question.
I don't think that's. Nothing's been even out.
I mean, they're just letting him have his victory lap now before they start talking about who's next.
They share.
He deserves it.
But if you. You would want. I'd like to see Sandhagen, but he has to have a win, right? He lost to Umar.
Yeah.
I wouldn't be mad if they just gave him a shot, though. Hey, T. Lopez dismisses Yair Rodriguez rumors, wants Volkanovski at UFC 3 14.
I think Diego needs one more before he fights for a title. One more, tough guy.
What about Peter Yan vs. Umar? Who's winning with that Peter Yan vs. Umar fight?
Peter Yan looks fantastic.
And he's. He switches it up too with the grappling, too. I love his trip. I love that front trip he does on everybody.
Oh, yeah. Did a Peter yan. How many? 30 takedowns. Shot 30 takedowns. Animal, you do 30 takedowns in this studio, you're dumb.
It's one of my favorite moments ever in the corner.
Peter Young's boxing is everything.
Did you see his last fight after he.
He had.
He had surgery and came back, bro. He looked fantastic.
What do you have surgery?
We were talking about it, remember? You and I watched that morning. Yeah.
What was he. What do you have surgery on?
I think shoulder.
Damn.
He's great, man.
I mean, Sean Strickland, he's keeping the perv stash. I like it.
I love him.
Do you think he had staff on his left arm?
Sure looks like it, doesn't it?
It looked like staff to me. Do you look like staff to you, Matt?
It's hard to tell.
I mean, it could be ingrown hair.
Yeah, it could be a ingrown hair.
Ingrown hair. That's what it is.
It could be stabbed.
Growing hair becomes staff. Yeah, a lot of times. Folliculitis.
If this fight goes past the first round, we're. But the homeboy on the right is a problem, is he? Don't judge him based off that body shot.
But what about Taffa? Don't judge him off of his body either. Tough again.
He's Samoa. Dud.
He's Samo. Doesn't count. He's Moana. Style doesn't count.
Tef is a dangerous fellow.
Yeah. That's not. That body's.
Oh, my goodness.
But he. He's a. He's 70. Undefeated prospect. They put him on here for a finish. Like, you know, if you're here.
Yeah.
If you're third on the card, you got to go for finishes.
Y.
Is he Brazilian to share?
Oh, yeah.
Looks it.
He's a savage from Brazil. Finisher.
I like a dude with an eyebrow scar, too. Both of them.
He's a head like a Lego piece, right?
Yeah. I mean, he's a problem, bro.
Is Mark Hunt really fighting Ben Rothwell in bare knuckle fighting? That's what I heard in bkfc. Yeah. You see Ben Rockwell? Do you see his ko?
Yes.
Oh, my goodness.
That was cool.
He's one beautiful punch.
He's built for bkfc.
He's an asshole. Animal, too. That's a big too. Rothwell responds to Mark Hunt's call out. Let's go.
Jesus.
I'd watch that.
Perfect. Why do they have to, like, give you an asterisk. So, like, pretend this doesn't have a U there. Why do they do that? That's so stupid.
Silly.
Damn, this dude's big.
Yeah, Big long prospect.
What's his weight?
How tall is.
Oh, my goodness.
All the weight.
How's his ground game? 6, 7, 2 6. Wow. Or 6 foot 286 foot 6. 7, 2, 6. Dude.
I could walk between his legs.
Oh, yeah.
That dude that Francis beat up in in Bellator.
That guy was scary.
That guy was scary.
How old is Francis now?
He's got to be 37, 49.
Oh, he's only 37.
What did he say?
49? You never know know.
You never know. It doesn't matter.
Well, dudes from Cuba, like, they've always said. Yoel's 50. Yeah, the old guys.
You. What is that the league? Are you with that? Yeah, talk to me.
Yeah, I'm come to for him.
Oh, is it legit?
Legit, yeah.
So they're throwing a lot of money around, right?
Throwing a lot of money around.
Is that how they got guys like Wideman, all these guys to come out of retirement?
Longo's coaching.
Yeah, Long Go's coaching. Kane Velasquez coaching. Javier Mendez.
Who's fighting. What are the. What are the people that are fighting?
The main fight that. That I'm talking hold is Danis, Tony Ferguson.
Oh, my God. Shogun's back. Fabrizio Verm is back. I thought Fabrizio retired. There a lot of people retired, right? They decided. Yeah, coax them in with the money.
Yeah.
This is their first card.
No, this is the. That's the Brazilian team. So there's six teams. New York, Miami, LA, Sao Paulo, Abu Dhabi and, like, London. Wow.
What about. What about Wyman? Dude, you got what I'm laughing at. Wyman retiring, and then all a sudden, the next day, you see him on. Hey, you know.
You know what I love about it? Longo picked Wideman second.
Wideman goes.
What the.
Who'd he pick first?
I want to say Kevin lee.
Anthony Pettis vs. Jeremy Stevens. Is wild. Oh, my God. Hector Lombard and Y. Romero. The Battle of Cuba.
They used to train together.
They're on the same team, but, oh, my goodness, the Miami roster.
Yeah.
Where's this guy getting all the money? Let me tell you something. Marlon Morise, at one point in time, I thought he was the man. I thought when he knocked out Aljo, I was like, oh, my God, he might be the guy.
It was a rough start for him and Rob, too, with that fight.
The Crazy thing about that is what's a hudo? He a hudo up in the first round.
Oh, I remember. Remember that? Yeah. But my Rob was so wild because at the same round almost. It almost stopped. Got stopped because Rob switched it around and beating the crap out of him by the end of it.
Gay guard Man Gagar is the guy that people have been sleeping. Incredible.
He still has a lot of fights. He got out of his PFL Bellator contract to fight any fights. Why couldn't he get anyone? So they're talking about gay guard Luke Rockhold. That'd be a dope fight.
Could they not get hit some. Someone to fight him or they.
They didn't want to pay. They don't want to pay because he had a high contract, so they let him go.
Bro.
I just had Kats and Gano down at the school doing a seminar.
She's great.
She's great.
Yeah, she did a great seminar.
But when you think about all. All the leagues, it's. It's the same business model as anything. You get the casuals in with the huge names with like Woodley, you know, Shogun Rashad, so people pay attention. And then you have the young guys like Kevin Lee. You got Sage north cut, so you're hoping the young guy guys eventually take over.
I thought Rashad. Rashad said he wasn't signed up to it.
So here's the thing with that. I was there. I was seeing Darren, the owner of PFL or gfl, text his. His manager and he goes, he's in. He goes, yes. So he didn't have straight dialog with Rashad, but he assumed the agent representing him, when he says yes, he's good to go. So he announced it. Rashad's like, I never said yes. Like, that's between you and your agent, homeboy.
I see.
Yeah.
Try one of these.
What is dry? Is that your shirt? Drive fast. All gas, bro. Where's mine? Where's. Give me one of them. I don't know.
You drove me like Tesla.
I like those.
But.
But I like the way it looks. What does it say in the back? Anti Electric vehicle club. Oh, how dare you.
Well, no, you can drive it in your.
You drove here in electric vehicles.
I didn't ask for that. I asked for your GT4. GT.
Your electric vehicle is something else, though. I'm a little jealous. And I don't. I'm not in the car.
But like I was telling you, I didn't. My thing was I was so angry at Newsom trying to ban combustion engines.
Yeah.
Like, had so much anger. But now I'm moving to Austin. It's kind of leaving.
Good, good. Tesla's got a factory here.
I know.
Get yourself one.
I'm getting one.
Get yourself a cyber truck and put the fighter in the kid logo all over. Just drive around town like a parade.
Let's go, baby. You know I'll drive.
I'll do that for you.
K. Can I get a clip here? A clipper?
It's on the lighter.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Where's the lighter? Who's got the lighter?
All right. Does that work for you on the.
Back of the light? Did you get to work for you? The back of the lighter pops back and there's a clip.
Yes. Thank you.
Just push it back.
I'm sorry.
Six, seven, dude. Dude. Six, seven, dude.
There was one time in the airport, I took the shuttle over, and it was me, and I was talking to him. Very nice guy, Stefan Struve.
Oh, he's the best.
And then we started walking through the airport together. I go, hey, man, I gotta go to your. I can't do this. I. I feel like. Like a kid with his dad.
He's legit.
Legit.
7 foot. Yeah, he's huge. I ran into Mark Hunt at the airport, and I was like, starstruck, because I love Mark Hunt. Yeah, it's a K1 fan. I was like, man, it's kind of crazy that people don't know who you are and just wander around this airport like you're a legend.
The hardcores do, though. They're freaking out.
That would be crazy if you fought Rothwell and Bare Knuckle. Oh, my.
This one thing. Who the sign up to fight Y? Romero and Beer Knuckles. Some poor savage.
He fought a guy from Power Slap and he decapitated.
That was horrifying. That was hard. Remember when he just jumped up in the air for no reason and then moved towards the guy just like, leap. He was like, watch what I can do.
Power Slap Guy was like, what the.
He saw him jump up in the air and he's like, oh, no. Yeah. What? I can't do that.
That's when he knew he up, bro.
He jumped up like one of them Masai warriors. Like, it looks like effortless.
Like, it was the bounce.
Those inside people just bounce.
When he followed the groc hold, he just exploded. That's where he caught him.
He can close distance. Like, no. When he knocked out Weidman with that flying Knee in his 40s, he sneaks you into, like, this rhythm. He sneaks you into A rhythm. He like, relaxes you, and then he explodes on you. He did it to Izzy. He caught Izzy with a haymaker of a left hand.
That's why the game.
Exactly.
They're so boring.
You.
You go fight that.
He was getting kicked in the leg. Kicked in the leg for five rounds. They go, how's your leg? He gets up and starts dancing.
Yeah. He don't feel.
There's no way this fight goes past the first round.
Jeez.
No.
This kid's a savage.
Oh, my God. Nice kicks.
He skips chest day.
How is his. Well, he's got to make weight. He probably can't put on any muscle.
You can put on some muscle.
What is his ground game? Oh, my God. He shoots for a takedown. That's crazy. He's got a ground game.
Athletic.
Does he have a ground game?
I don't think Taffa does.
I haven't.
He has.
We. We haven't seen it because we have.
Oh, nasty. Oh, we heard him already. That was an illegal knee. That was an illegal knee.
Was it?
Was he down? Yeah, he was down when he hit.
Him with that knee.
I'm pretty sure with the new rules, he might not have had his knee all the way to the ground yet. We'd have to see it again.
And it was in transition, though. He's good, right?
My first instinct was that was an illegal knee, but he's down first, Joe. He definitely did. Oh, yeah, he definitely did.
Elbow to the.
Taffa looks man mad. He's upset. I think that they stopped it. Or do they? Is it the knee?
It's the elbow that put his ass down, though.
It was. It was, but that knee.
But it was in transition.
Here we go. Here we go.
If it's in transition, I think you're good.
Perhaps. It depends on how much time has elapsed right between the shots.
Shot a high double.
So there's the knees of the boss.
His elbow.
Yeah, the elbow is nasty.
Nasty.
That's a nasty knee, too.
Boom.
Oh, my goodness. Perfect. Right there. See? Fully down. Fully down.
When he hit his body, though, didn't he?
Did the body, though.
It did it. I thought it hit the head. Let's see it again.
This for sure. Breaks.
Oh, my God. That's insane. It's so good. That's so good. 100%, bro. 100. That nose is gone.
And then watch the knee here. It hits it.
We'll see it again. Again. Yeah. Oh, my God. That elbow's nasty. Boom. Oh, no, man. That's in the head. That knees in the head is it. It looked like it right there. Am I wrong?
Okay. I couldn't see. I. I do think that he was already covering himself.
Well, listen, it was all she wrote. Yeah, that elbow was all she wrote. That elbow probably broke his face. Yeah.
If you're tough, you can't be mad. It's not like that knee. Yeah, the fight.
Now we got the. The co main in Maine. I'm gonna use the head real quick.
Well, let's go, sir.
Let's use the head real quick.
I hope Tatiana just Mollywops her.
I don't know, man. I'm a big fan of Zhang Weili.
Has been training with those two guys from the. That. That gym in Thailand with those two guys from Iowa. Those two wrestlers. They're brothers.
Oh, yeah, yeah, those guys. And what. What gym is that? Which one? Bang.
I think it's called Bangtao. Bangtao.
Yeah. Yeah.
There's not enough hours in the day for her to compete in grappling against.
Practice, like pace and defense.
Defense. Because, like, if she can survive and then get into the third, fourth, and fifth round. That lady's an animal.
Choke the out. True in the first round.
Look, it's gonna be exciting. I'm excited. But on the feet. Zhang Whaley is a monster. She puts not bad on the feet. No disrespect to the ladies. I mean, with all due respect, here's.
The thing about Tatiana. Her striking's not bad either.
Like, she's no punk. That's just tall. Tall and long.
She's big.
And have you seen what she does to girls on the ground?
Malls them. It's just like the early days of the ufc, when elite wrestlers would take people. You're the early days. But look at the size of that dude. She's such a big fella.
Yeah, he's a giant.
That guy in the back looks like.
So that guy just rose to the top of the heap. I'll tell you what, he's a problem, but let's see what his ground game is like, because Aspinall is. Aspinall's fast as a black belt, too. Black belt on the ground.
Gone.
Keep it.
Keep it exciting. Give him a serial gun.
Yeah, you have to. You can't give a masked ball right away from Tafa. But this is his introduction, right? How many fights has he had in the UFC now?
7.07Finishes like he's a prospect.
So what we have now is some new blood. Now we got to get some more. You know who they should try to get? I don't know if he's out of his contract as Nice Nemkov. Oh, Nemkoff was The he was 205, right. But then he moved up to heavyweight. This is Russian cat. He's good, man.
He's really good.
Real good. But I super well rounded all around.
Very curious to see what Uncle PFL.
Took over Bellator's contracts and they're releasing everyone like a Sunday sale. So I hope they get Aaron Pico.
I hope we get Aaron Pico's a free agent. I hope we get Aaron Pico.
I hope GFL gets them all right off.
He's wasted all this time. Yeah, his other organs. People don't know how good that kid is.
He got animal.
No, see, this is the problem. He had struggles and then won like nine in a row.
You got it twisted.
They pushed him too soon, too fast in. In Mass Square Garden. I was working Mad Square Garden. He lost.
He got caught in a guilty. He's one of the young guy. He was like 20 years old.
He was wrestling internationally at 16 years old.
Why are you yelling at him?
And boxing with Freddy.
Look at that.
Tai To.
Oh, man. Tai Tuasa. Try to drink out of my shoe. You can't drink out of my shoe.
I did try to take with him.
It's disgusting.
Put a loot. I threw up. I threw up.
It's so weird. It's like think of how much ass you've eaten in your life doing that. But that's different.
It's a good way to put it.
It's a guy's the last thing I thought about.
Here it is, baby.
I don't care if you date.
I. I love this lady. She's such a savage.
Savage.
Dude, she's so ferocious. Her drive too. Ooh, she's big too.
She's gonna like immediately look big and they both change. Layoffs too. Yeah, she's a horse, dude.
A problem. Problem. So what injuries did she have? She had quite a few.
Neck injury was the main one.
Was it a surgery?
I think so, yeah.
What they do? I'm not sure.
The fuse. The disk super bad used it? I think so.
My goodness.
Yikes.
A lot of guys have the fake disk. I mean, Aljo had the fake disk and came back better than ever. Like, Aljo got an artificial disk in his neck and then. Then beat. He beat Peter Yan bad in the rematch. Manhandled him.
And Tatiana's thing is she won. Let me think. She won ultimate fight, I think 2024 in 2016.
Wow. Isn't that crazy?
And Then she's had such a long laugh because all the injuries.
Did you see this Anthony Mackie, he's playing Captain America. And he said. He goes the. I'm playing Captain America. But he said something like, basically.
But he's not for America.
Yes. He basically said, but it makes no sense because America, Captain America is for justice and for fair play and all that cool.
Move to Ukraine.
It was a problem. It was a big problem. It was a. It was a pr.
That's not my Captain America.
No, that's not my.
Isn't it weird that they feel like they have to say stuff like that to keep working? It's like weird.
But the movie studio goes, not good for numbers.
Now Americans aren't gonna go to Captain America.
That's what happened.
Yeah, he's out.
You know, really up. Bautista. He went all in against Trump. Remember he did that video, calling him a little. And all his different things. He did the whole thing where he's working out.
You're a little. Little.
Yeah, you little fat. You look like a bag of milk. Hitting. Working out. Look at Jack.
Better to stay out of politics if you're an actor.
Hey, did you guys see the new Superman trailer? Did you see that?
No.
No.
Is it good?
Come on, man. It'll get your nipples hard.
Really?
Joe? Did you see it?
No. A grown man. Stop being such a lighter fluid.
Who's playing Superman? Is it Henry Cavalier?
Don't tell me you're not gonna watch that movie.
I am not going to watch that movie. Really? No. I think Superman depends who the Superman is. I think it's just like living in space. If you were living in space, your eventually your body would decay. You're coming from a place with more gravity. It's not going to be good for you on Earth.
I'm on mass train that when you.
Get back to your planet, you're not even going to be able to walk.
Hold on, Captain Negativity.
He can make the world go back in time because he can go so fast.
Dude, look at him though. He's cold and he's getting pissed.
But he's from another planet.
What happened to the original Superman?
Hold on.
What do you mean he got the guy?
What?
No, not Christopher Reeves. Talk about the last guy.
Oh, they've had a bunch of.
They're rebooting it.
Spider man. They have like 80 Spider Man.
Oh, Toby Maguire is my Spider Man.
How many Hulks have they had?
They. You know what happened happen.
Mark Ruffalo. Politics makes it hard to root for the Hulk.
James Gunn is rebooting the whole DC Universe.
James Gun's good, too.
Superman is breathing and stuff. He's. I mean, he's bleeding.
You guys watch the Penguin? Yeah, this part's a little tough. I don't know how Joe's going to take this. Maybe. What's going on?
Is he running through the storm there?
No, this is. I haven't seen this in a.
Begins. It begins.
A dog saves him. Jesus Christ. Wait a minute. Is that a super dog?
First of all, if you're not watching it with the sound, then you should just shut it off. It doesn't do it.
The dog fly.
You said Lex Cooper.
He's like, yeah, yeah, I have a Porsche.
That's Guy Gardner Porsche 912. This girl.
Shut up. Listen, guys, this is serious.
You like Zuckerberg with the bones, same energy.
You don't know what the. You're talking about.
Look, it's got super dogs dragging him to safety. It's over.
Listen to me.
Look at the dog. Why is the dog able to drag him?
You communist. You don't like dogs. What the.
Why is that dog able to drag him? Oh, he's kissing that girl in space. Oh, you big show off, bro. He's taking that girl up in the sky to hang out with her.
The dog's a bad choice, huh?
You know what?
The dog took me out of it.
I thought the dog would be a bad choice. I thought the dog, but I thought the dog. I don't think James Gunn could do any wrong.
I agree.
He's great. He's the man.
I'll see it for him.
Three Guardians of the galaxies were phenomenal.
Phenomenal.
He knows how to make you care about characters that you never heard.
I don't care about that dog. Fake Superman dog. Look, in the comic books, his Superman dog.
Did you like Guardians of the Galaxy?
Crypto? The super dog?
Did you like. Did you like Guardians of the Galaxy?
I did.
Oh, well, there's a talking raccoon. How could you watch that?
I loved it.
Talking tree.
You know what, dude? You know what? If anybody can make a super diesel awesome, it's James Gun.
James Gun.
Did they try canceling James Dion for being mean on set?
I think so, yeah.
Did they? Yeah, No, I think it was some, like, tweets he did back in the day or some.
Some whoopsies.
But anyway, yeah, he was saying funny things.
We're all looking forward to it.
Yeah, except me. Confused. I stopped rooting for the Hulk when he started wearing glasses. I was like, you're lying. To me, this is not the hub. No, no, you can't have the Hulk where he's got Bruce Banner's brain and the Hulk's body.
No, he has bad eyesight.
It's supposed to be. He changes, and now he's this ferocious monster and he doesn't remember what happened.
You're saying.
Yeah, the new Hulk has glasses and he. He lost weight and he got shot shorter.
Well, listen, he lost the fight to Thanos and he became a. I'll tell.
You what, the 2008 Hulk was pretty good.
What size?
Ed Norton and Hickson Gracie.
I like 1977.
Yeah, that was a good one. That Hulk was awesome. Yeah.
Such a. Eric Bono is great.
You know the real problem? He was all right. I think Ed Norton was the best one. But here's the problem is the pants. The pants don't make any goddamn sense. How are they staying? I want to see that big green dick just swinging around while he's smashing things. No way. He's wearing 160lb pound dude's pants.
Yeah.
That don't make no sense. He weighs 8, 000lbs. He's as big as a building, and somehow the pants cover his.
Great. If his dick stayed the same.
Look at the size of them.
Yeah, that's the whole humans.
Do you think those studios tell Mark Ruffalo they like, shut the up, dude?
No.
No one's gonna go see it.
They don't care. They're all in the bubble. Mark Ruffalo, politics.
I like him as an actor, though.
He's a good actor. Great actors. Crazy guys. They're crazy people. Yeah, they're really good.
I thought Edward Norton was good. Edward Norton was my favorite in there.
Smacked him in the face.
Yeah.
Try to keep him calm. Remember that Ban was his control bana wasn't bad. The. But look, that's smart, Hulk. Hulk is smart. She.
Hulk was a pile of.
She.
Hulk was a woke. Pile of.
Was it woke?
Oh, it was woke. There's a guy looking at.
Thank God that's over.
There's one. Oh, it was brutal.
Thank God that's over. It's over. Over.
It's definitely.
Bro. It's going to be illegal soon.
Here she comes. New champ. I'm calling it.
What do you think?
Trump's gonna be being woke. Literally illegal. Did you hear what he said about Prince Harry? They were asking him he was going to deport Prince Harry because Prince Harry talks about. He goes, no, he's having enough problems with his wife. She's terrible.
Oh, he's Funny.
He's so funny.
Animal, they asked who's gonna deport Prince Harry.
Say what you will, he's still. He's a funny dude, man.
Look at his focus in this girl's eyes.
She's so, such a beast. Dude, you just got to worry about the injuries, you know, if the neck's going to.
Right, where's she at now?
Yeah, cuz she's fallen out two fights in the ufc. It. It's go time. Gave her a title shot.
Yeah, it's so hard to know if she can even get through a camp, right? Yes, it's so hard to know with these people when they have like real bad injuries and then after the fight they'll tell you like, my camp was a shambles, I couldn't do anything.
Why'd I bet on you?
I had a broken foot.
Well, how about like Aspinall wins the title? He couldn't train, he couldn't wrestle at all for like 11 against Cyril.
Gone.
That's right.
No, blown out.
Blown out. Tapes it up. Yep. Takes it up and decides to take him to the ground.
Yeah.
Takes serial and wrestles him and just show.
Show that he's a Covington broke his foot in the first round. That was just a really bad break.
Yeah, but that's in the fight, bro.
How. How good did Walking Buckley look against Colby?
Walking Buck that good is.
Well, he knocked out what he did to Wonder Boy. Wonder Boy?
Yeah, he's that good. He's. He's that good. He's dangerous at 170 and he's got crazy cardio at 170.
I still want to see him and Ian Gary.
Oh, yeah, that was originally supposed to go down and then they swapped out.
Amazing.
Yeah, that would be a real good fight.
Think about Ian Gary beat mvp. MVP look great again, bro.
MVP is the man that against Shire Bullet. That was incredible. 85.
85.
No, he wants to go up.
He wants to go to a fight.
Gary, my thing is do it. Make the fun fights like cowboy Cerrone style. Do the fun fights, then come back. Do 205, then come back. Yeah, you don't want to fight the big boys. Here's a thin 205er.
Yeah.
Yeah. But Yuri is a different thing.
The style matchup though, it's will.
It'd be very exciting. Here's the thing. On the outside, no one can touch mvp. You can't close the distance like he can.
No one.
He's got that point fighting style. I always said that, like, that's going to be the next Problem is point fighters, because they got that blitz, that ability to cover the distance, it's so fast.
Knockout power.
Some of them do.
Name one that does.
Wonder Boy. Wonder Boy had a point fighting style. I mean, he basically started out in karate, you know, and then developed as a kickboxer above the leg kicker.
But then when he got to the elite level, he wasn't knocking guys out.
Well, he couldn't wrestle with them. The problem, like Matt the Immortal Brown was the first guy to exist, expose his ground game. Remember that?
His nickname? Yeah.
He took him down and smashed him.
That was his first fight in the ufc, wasn't it?
I don't know. No, the first fight was a ko. He got that guy with that over the shoulder kick where like maybe a.
Second, though it was early on, went.
Down with that round. It was very early on, very early on when he knocked out Jake Ellenberger with that wheel kick. Jake Ellenberger was like making fun of spinning karate.
Yeah, that's funny.
Making fun of spinning things, remember? I hope he does. I hope he does. Try to hit me with a wheel. Come out with it. Boom.
And then remember, Wonder Boy beat Robert Whitaker at 170. And then Robert Whitaker.
Robert Whitaker was way too big for 100. He was dying down there, just dying.
Wonderful sidekick. Is the nicest in the business.
Oh, it's so smooth. And it's so like, it comes off the ground effortlessly. It just sticks you in the gun. It's like a jab, his right leg forward when he. He throws it that way. It's so nasty. Nasty. And it's so hard to deal with because he can do all the other stuff, too. So it's like. And he also. Wonderboy was one of the best ever at leaning his head back like a snake and then firing at you as he's moving backwards.
See, I feel like MVP doesn't have that. Like, he's not landing those big shots like Wonder Boy did.
It's hard to hit.
Well, he does on some guys. You also got to realize ufc, no, not KO and guys yet. But look what he did to Cyborg. It's a wake up call for everybody Alive.
Cyborg was 77 years old.
He was 177, but he caved his skull.
Yeah.
The worst knockout ever. I tell you what, Gnarly.
Here's another guy everybody sleeps on is like, who did like. So what were his losses? Whose MVP it was Doug Lima was the KO wrestler. That's right. But Lima was the first guy to stop him.
Yes.
Because Lima started Lima Had. He's one of the most slept on guys at 170. He's a guy that I really wish had left Bellator in his prime.
He's a gfl.
That's good. But how old is he now? We haven't heard from him for a while.
No. Contracts are mess. They just sat guys on the show.
37. Last fight, September 7th.
There's still something in the tank there.
Oh, he was a monster in his prime. Monster in his prime. Remember what Ben Askren did to him?
Yeah.
Ben Askren just said, oh, that's cute.
Molly whopped him.
You're gonna enjoy wrestling now. Who'd he fight? Diego Lima. Oh, yeah. Douglas champion. Diego fought in the ufc.
Yeah, right.
Douglas Lee was the. It was no disrespect, but was slightly better. Douglas was a Bellator champion. He was a beast, man. But the problem with that Bellator title was like nobody cared. I'm glad you're making money. I'm glad you're getting paid. I'm happy for everybody.
It's like being CFL world champion.
Okay.
We got the NFL.
It's great. I hope you're getting paid. That's the most important thing. But after that, like, if you want to make the splash, you want to be famous, you want to have a legacy, you kind of got to make it over to the.
If you want to say you're the best in the world, if you're the champion anywhere else. If you're not in the UFC is just not the best.
Unless you do the Francis thing. You go over there and they give you $20 million a fight like, and it's a big you today in it because you still get to box.
Yeah, you get to box.
He's. But he's in a unique position. Like Francis's position is different than everybody's.
Yeah, he's heavyweight.
Heavyweight monster.
Yes.
Destroyer.
Yeah.
Knocks guys out with one shot. Like he's always going to be thought of as the heavyweight champion until somebody beats him at heavyweight. You know what he did to steep a. And then, you know, know he beat Cyril Gone with a blown out knee and then just dip lips. See you later.
See, I. I think pound for pound and we won't ever find out. I think Tom Aspinall is the best, I think.
Well, who knows?
I think Tom beats him.
Who knows? If John beats him, John might beat him up. He could. John might take him down and ragdoll him on the ground like, you know.
John easily could because we don't know how good John is either.
And we also don't know what happens to Tom Aspen on the third, fourth and fifth rounds.
We have zero because no one's gotten there.
No one's even gotten close.
There's so many question marks. Like we don't know how good John is.
Right.
You can't tell me John's the best of all time or he is the best goat, but you can't tell me he's the baddest heavyweight on the planet after being an older steepe. That's not gonna do it for me.
Right?
Right.
As good.
And he's prime cereal Gone. Almost beat Francis. I know you can say the thing about the knee. And you know, Jones just smoked him.
We also didn't know Cyril gone was a three stripe white belt. That's news to me.
What is? So what is that?
Did he get that third stripe?
It's mma. He's got to be able to.
I say, like the bulldog guillotine. It's like, hey, dude.
Damn.
I think he might have frozen. It feels like he froze in the big lights there.
I think he also probably is not used to a guy that's that good getting a hold of his neck.
Yeah, I thought at that level, world.
Champion John Carter caught him. Yeah, he caught him.
I think John does that to him. 100 out, 100 times, there's nothing. There's not enough hours in the day for Cyril to make up for.
It was great distance management too. John just avoided all the big shots. The timing of the shot was perfect.
I can see John taking Aspinall down very well.
You're talking about the black belt who grew up in jitsu gyms like Matt.
He took. He took, he took twice. Sure. Two time Olympian. That's not easy.
DC's not a black belt on the crap.
I wonder how he takes off his back.
Does he have a guard?
Does he have a guard?
A lot of big guys don't have a guard.
He's been doing jitsu in his diapers, man. You're talking about their speech.
But man, we've seen a lot of guys who are really good. They're on their back and they got nothing. They have no answers.
I agree, but as athletic as he is and growing up in that culture, your guard's not gonna be.
It might not be, but, you know.
I don't know if he's virtual, you.
Know more than anybody that big guys are mostly on. On top when they're training.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's the problem. Unless you're a guy that's smart about it. Like Fabricio Verdum, who develop. I mean, that's a rare guy who's a big guy who developed a killer. He's my. In my top 10 of all time. I always put in Fabricio. You got to remember that guy tapped everybody, dude.
Top ten. This argument.
Top three of all time. Of all time. People forget him. They sleep on him when they talk about Fedor. First one attack came.
Bigfoot Silva. Tap Kane.
No. Yeah. KO'd Mark Hunt.
Yeah.
Flying knee. Remember that?
Yeah.
Yeah. Tap Kane. He tapped everybody. Tap Noguera.
The brakes off. Travis Brown in his prime.
Yep. Tapped everybody.
Flying, flying sidekick to start it out.
Yeah. Fabrice over Doom was a bad man. So good bad man.
She's gonna get it down.
She's gonna get it down.
She's gonna get it down.
I'm telling you, she's been drilling.
Second round. Head arm choke.
Tatiana, I'm excited to see what happens.
I was thinking second round.
Tatiana looks big.
She's big.
She's such a problem. Wish I need that neck to hold up.
Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
She's been wrestling since a kid, man.
Yeah, but she's in a bang.
What?
Just saying, she's been in.
She's been wrestling with some Iowa wrestlers, bro. Calm down.
Here we go.
Watch. Okay, watch.
Brian, who's your call? Who's your call?
Brian going with. I'm going with China.
You're such a Brennan Schaub.
America all day you peace.
You know what? For funsies, I'm going with Zhang Wei Lee. Because I'm right here with Brian.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Come on, let's see what happens.
Let's go, Americans.
I'm going with the champ. Who's the superior striker?
Look at her. Listen, man.
Dangerous striker Whaley.
You probably have a little advantage on the feet, but a lot more championship.
Experience coming over peer pressure.
A lot more championship experience, son.
They're both have a little ring rust. They both haven't fought in a hot.
Are you making excuses now, bro?
I'm just saying. But. But in terms of experience, there's no comparison.
Oh, for sure.
John W. Has fought the best of the best and had wars. I mean, she's had some wars that you want to. Yun Jake. Fight. Holy.
Oh, my God. That was crazy.
Oh, my goodness. Tan gets it right away. Right away.
How's that Iowa wrestler killing you right away? I almost dropped.
Oh, my goodness.
Called you a maggot.
Oh, my God.
I almost called you a maggot.
Look how big she looks.
Why did you call Me, a maggot.
You know what I mean, bro? She. She looks like a 135er. She don't look like a straw control. She looks like a bantamweight.
But Whaley's been working this position, believe me.
Did the Iowa wrestlers help her off her back?
Let's see if she gets her in the cruise.
She's just gonna get.
Go for that.
Oh, Jesus, bro.
This ain't good. Brian, how you feeling? I feel like we lost.
How's the communist feeling?
I only did it to go along.
She's turtling for the champion. I'm very persuasive.
I'm just ready for the champion.
I'm incredibly persuasive.
Let's see if she survives. So right now, we just got a squeeze. We got a top, top pressure squeeze.
We've been here before.
No shots, we trained, no land, nothing landed.
We've been here to go full girl.
We've been here.
We. We work this.
Trying to work those butterflies. She's dealing with a.
She passed that knee line again.
Different kind of person.
What do we do here?
For who? For.
For my guy. For my girl.
Well, see how she's holding on with that left arm?
You know what I mean? I don't see gender. I don't see gender.
She's not doing a big job.
Look at this. Over unders. That's it.
She got to float her up and back. That's not a good sign. Past the knee line again.
She can't get out of this, man. She's dealing with a different kind of pressure. The person getting tired is definitely going.
To be coming across the neck, underneath to the far shoulder.
She's got to struggle real hard just to not get smushed here on the bottom.
We work those.
We work those. That's it. Soften them up.
She's controlling by wrapping around the waist, but then.
What are you talking about? Her chest is compressed. She can barely breathe.
Oh, she's okay. She's just holding on over there. That's it. We're comfortable, dad.
Ready? She's gonna pass these butterfly hooks again.
Yeah, but this is a clear round for Tatiana, bro. The entire round has been on top.
And that Isla wrestling. She took it out in 40 seconds.
Yeah, 45. It wasn't even. It's probably 30.
She's gonna pass that knee line again. Look at her stuff that. Look at that. Look at that look.
Stuffy side control. Set up the submission. Isolate the arm.
She didn't even have to work for the takedown either, so no and she.
Could probably do that all day long.
All day.
She made it look easy, man.
How?
What does she walk around at?
210.
Let's see a low pass yet.
Oh, look at this.
Look at that.
Come on, man.
Look at this control, bro, with the grip. It's beautiful to see moving north, south.
See, the problem is you got to kill that near side frame. That's what does everything.
It's blocking.
Everybody thinks far under that near side frame. It reclaims guard. It offsets, balance. Kill that thing.
What are you talking about, man?
The right arm.
A right arm. Yes.
Look at this.
Yeah.
I told you. This is where Iowa comes in. Oh, she John Ly up or John Ly on top?
Yeah, she's.
She's gonna. She could use it to sweep her, though. Here. She has. She has my butterfly girl. She's a sweeper.
Zhang Whaley's out. She's out on top. Oh, my goodness.
What I tell you.
But let's see what happens over the next wild. Can happen over this next minute.
You got a wrestler on their back.
Listen, also, she's stuck in this head and arm guillotine here.
Look, look. Butterfly.
She's gonna sit back, and she's also. Oh, that's nice. That was nice. Nice. That was nice the way she moved around that. Oh, look at this. And she's looking to pass. She's going for head and arm.
Oh, boy.
She can't get out of that. That butterfly, though.
That right leg, she's comfortable as here.
Nice long legs, too. They're not so hard to pass.
It's a pain in the ass.
I'm gonna. Let's look for an elevator sweep here. Oh, take the back under.
Oh, she's trying to mount. She's trying to mount here. Oh, she might be sensitive. She's gonna. No, Tatiana might be getting a little tired here. She's never done this before. Right, Right. She's never had a world championship fight. There's so much adrenaline here. And Zhang Whaley's on top. A little discouraging, right?
But she won the round, so she's pretty happy.
But still, this is like a closer round than it should have been, right? Yeah. John Whaley's on top. And she's on top.
She jumped for that guillotine.
The end of the round, she's on top.
The fact that she got out's huge.
Huge. You know, here's the thing. Like, we know Zhang Whaley can do that for five rounds. Can Tatiana do that for five rounds? This is a championship fight.
A question Joe Rogan.
No, I don't think she's gonna take down's too easy.
She's gonna finish her.
We'll see. Kids, I don't like your attitude, man.
My American attitude?
You piece of.
Do you want to move to Austin?
No, no. Come on, bro. Give me a second. I'm just.
Yeah, you have to get rid of all your communist le you picked up.
Do I got to buy a truck too?
No, you don't have to.
That's not for you.
You probably should probably buy an F1.50 just to show everybody.
Carry a piece.
F100, tallboy.
Yeah, get something nice.
American.
American.
Sick.
Get back into Jiu Jitsu or just wrestling.
I just do something.
Okay.
You moving still? What are you doing?
Yeah, do a little Jiu Jitsu.
Yeah. Are you roll around.
He does boxing, too. Then sometimes he forgets his.
No, I'm not. I'm not boxing.
Forgets his name. I got two hit spar. Him. Yeah, yeah, he's boxing people sparring a lot. Getting dated.
Shop goes. Hey, what are you doing?
Cuz I go 55,000 years old.
Punched in the face, Fossil.
Yeah, basically like.
Yeah.
Setting in Alzheimer's months earlier than it has to.
I can't do it. I can't do Jiu Jitsu either, because I get hurt.
I. Yeah.
Have trouble looking for 11 days.
You should not be feeble.
I have a really good body under this.
Take my sh.
I'm wearing a leotard.
Let's see how. Let's see you get this takedown again. Come on, just circle to the right.
Ah, dude, there you go.
If she can't get the takedown here, man, this thing gets really interesting because if she.
Yeah, she's a little tired, we're in trouble.
Her arms is a little tired.
It's hard to get close.
That's true, that's true. There's definitely a reach.
That distance is hard to touch anybody with.
Well, that's why she's throwing a lot of kicks.
She just doesn't want to take down again.
But she is throwing. Oh, nice right hand. Nice right hand.
Oh, this the thing.
Get.
Oh, she's got an underhook. Yo.
She's strong.
Hands are together.
Oh, yeah.
Ready? The hands are together.
Come on, Matthew. Just taking a breath and we're going for a ride.
Yo, John Way Lee's a little powerhouse, man.
She's a powerhouse. She's pushing that head down.
She's a little. This is impressive.
Cross face.
Oh, she gets. Oh. Oh, my goodness, look at this on top she waited. Oh, my God. Goodness. This is huge. This is huge.
Use that under hook n. See?
Hopefully she ain't get spiked on her neck.
That's got to be. That's got to be very frustrating.
I love the escape from here for the under. It's one of my favorite ways out.
She keeps trying to mount.
I don't know, sweep the. Yeah.
It's like you're putting your legs in jeopardy when you're trying to mount all the time.
But when you put yourself in deep half, you put them right on top of you. That worked for Nagara and Pride and Night.
Oh, she's almost slicing through. She's almost slicing through.
Through.
She's almost slicing through. Pressure. See, this is the thing, too. She can do this all day long. Her gas tank is limitless, man.
Dude, the right. She's. She's so ferocious.
She just keeps going. Look at this, though, man. Slick. Yeah, Strong, too. Powerful.
Look at this.
Oh, big elbows. Oh, big shots.
Ow, ow, ow.
Ah, the corn rolls are taking all that.
That's why you.
Bro.
Look. Look at this.
Got a guillotine.
Oh, my God.
It could be elbow up. No, she don't have it.
She don't have it. She's just going to explode. To defend.
I'm wondering if she's just expending a lot of energy.
Elbows right here.
Elbows on the right side. Get that arm free.
Her hands are closed. She's going to take it down again. But she step over.
He's got to get it with the control.
But this is a lot of energy.
All the energy. Unless you're married.
And also, Zhang is way more like marab. Like, that lady can go.
She just keeps going.
She's a machine. Oh, look at that. Knee to the body, dude. That's a nasty knee to the body. And she's free. 100, man. Battle tested.
Come on.
It's not breathing that hard.
She looks all right.
Look at that, sidekick. Oh.
Oh. Nice right hand. Oh, my goodness. Nice right hand.
Oh, boy. This is deep water for. For. I mean, this is deep water.
Halfway through the second round.
This a frantic pace, though.
Can I remind you that she beat cancer? Can I remind you?
That's right.
This girl's a warrior.
I like that you whispered that, bro. No, I'm not. I love.
Oh, all the winging shots.
Jean is just throwing from the out. Clipped coming down.
Set up the takedown.
Tatiana, I was about to say God.
Zombies. Double.
That was straight zombie.
Well, you go to your happy place when you're kind of tired and getting Rocked.
Well, this is where she wants to be for sure.
Against the cage.
Sure. But there's not. She's not doing anything.
Well, she just can't. I mean, Zhang Weili's, I think, surprising her with the takedown defense and just the physicality.
She's been working her wrestling.
Look at that physicality, son.
Yes.
And she's been doing so strong and fit. Look at this again. Look at this. Turned it around, man.
Again.
This is huge. So she's got this round.
Yeah, she's winning this round.
So it's 11 now.
Making it exciting.
Yeah, it's 1 1.
And if I was betting on this, I would. It's tough to back to China. Better get.
Yeah, she got to get busy.
Another one for ch.
She would have had that.
The fact that Zhang Weili is able to keep her on her back is very impressive. Very, very impressive. Especially when Tatiana is so good at those butterflies and elevating people.
But she's been working nothing but wrestling. She knew she was going to deal with this.
We all knew she was going to do.
Yeah, but. But somebody who like this. Is that her learning curve?
I bet tat Tatiana did not think she was gonna spend a lot of time on her back. No, I bet she did not anticipate that Zhang Weili was gonna be able to do this to her, especially in the scrambles because Tatiana's been dominant in the top position over everybody to get take. And then also like a second round, grueling pace of a five round fight. And in the second round, you're getting mauled. That's not a good feeling.
She got that wrestling grit.
Let's go. You know, let's go. America. I'm back on the team. America. Yeah, I'm back.
Switch.
Yeah. I wish I bet money that I'd be hoping I'd lose it.
Listen, you, you, you chose well.
I chose champion because it's just there's a big difference in stepping up and fighting a champion like this when you've been dominating ladies that are of a lesser caliber. I mean, John Whaley's complete and now you're seeing it. And also Tank, she's a tank of a lady.
All right, we got one and one.
Right now it's all about the tide boy, boys. Once the Turbo takes you out to sea, even though if you're only 100 yards from the shore, it's going in.
The wrong direction, I think it's very demoralizing. What? Your go to move is not working right.
You're wrestling my friend Matt Here.
She beat cancer, right?
Listen, a lot of respect. I'm just saying you're dealing with a different breed.
She beat cancer. You think she's worried about a Chinese girl?
Girl, yes.
Chinese girl's beating her ass. Oh, right hand.
Look at that.
That was a nice right hand.
She's rugged, though. But.
Look at this.
That's where it went south.
So impressive. Just the fact that she's able to do this to Tatiana is so impressive.
She's been drilling this.
Look at this. Him right here on the kisser, son. Look at that, right?
I watched one Countdown video where they had the. No, you don't even know the name of the guys.
What I'm saying is that those.
He knows the state.
No, she was doing a lot of wrestling, and somebody like this. I. I do think it's one thing you're not going to beat her in wrestling, but you can neutralize the wrestling.
Hey, how about let Mike Beltran let his mustache free? Oh, I know that. Mustache free.
He's the best.
Let that mustache free. Why you gotta tuck it in your shirt. That's let the mustache free.
Look at her. Look at her.
Look at this round.
You're right. She's got a crazy gas tank.
Dude. So important.
Fresh. Fresh.
I'm gonna have to make a potential competition to have Mike Beltran let his mustache go free. I like to see that thing, that crazy mustache.
Too distracting.
Shut the up.
Just saying.
Why did they mix it?
I don't know.
Oh, look at that.
Oh.
Oh, they don't like it. They don't like the crazy mustache. For some strange reason. I think it's awesome.
It gets in their face.
Shut up.
When he's in there.
It doesn't. It's hanging down.
Might get grabbed.
It's like a ponytail.
Content.
Boy, you know what I just realized? We never had a woman referee.
Billy have.
Who?
There was that one that.
Bring that.
What's her name?
Having.
Yeah, the tall blonde girl.
Oh, right.
Way back. She's getting clocked. Oh, no. She's getting clocked.
How many women. I can't remember in recent times, a female referee.
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.
She just can't. She can't strike with her.
No, she can't.
Dude. That was a pretty hard shot right there.
Goes to her.
Snapped her down. Snapped her down.
Come on, man.
Oh, she's stuffing it now. She's stuffing it now. Now she's putting it on her. Oh, nice. Need the body vision quest.
Let's go.
Look at that.
Oh.
Oh, that was A. Oh, this is rough.
The problem is the striking. The difference, Big difference.
She's not setting up.
She's not send strike.
And it's also the pace, man. Shang way can just maul her in these pages.
It's also Tatiana.
She's.
She's not putting the strike into shoot shots together.
So not setting up the strike.
Kim Winslow. Yeah. She is literally ruining people's lives.
She said. Whoops.
Oh, sorry, Kim. Bring up old wounds. Look at this finish it. Can't get her down anymore.
She does the same takedown over and over.
That's so impressive. What Zhang has been able to do here, just to be able to stop these takedowns and reverse them when she gets them. So impressive. But it's like the physicality of Zhang Weili is just something to think. Look at that.
One, two, landing.
Nasty.
Great athlete.
Nasty. Yeah. I mean, just incredible conditioning.
Yes.
I mean, you ever watch her workout videos? They're mad, dude. Her strength and conditioning is mad.
Brendan, you want to come over to my side now look at Kill her. No, he stands strong.
You don't jump ship.
It's like going to electric cars. You'll never do it.
Brian, if she wanted to have sex with you, you'd be very uncomfortable that she could kill you.
Yeah, she might be my type, cuz I'm.
Guys, guys, guys. I'm a fan of her. I would beat the out of her.
Yeah, but you're £280.
You just said I'd be scared of.
Her, not you, Brian.
Oh, that's why I said that.
No, Brian. If Brian had at all. Right? You know, and she's been able to stuff those takedowns, and Tatiana is hesitant to keep going for him.
Now watch.
Every time she just.
When she punches, her head's just off the center line. Every time she's.
Zhang has some traps, huh?
She's a tank. The way Tatiana got that first takedown she did her whole career and nobody ever got away.
That's also striking. It's just higher level, man.
Very good. Very good striking. She keeps catching her.
Yes. Tatiana just keeps moving forward. This doesn't work.
Oh, the difference is the striking.
Yes.
Oh, it's big.
Much higher level. Much higher level. Tatiana keeps moving forward in just one line.
And John Whaley has not shown any signs of deteriorating.
Not at all. Look at that. Just stepping back. Moving, waiting.
I don't think that touches. Like, she's not even throwing that left hand.
She's at a loss.
She can't.
She's. Because she pays every time.
She keeps getting.
See, that's the problem right there. Yeah, the entry.
When she does look, she. The entry, she gets spun around so bad. It's crazy. But this is how strong Zhang Weili is, man. It's impressive. Look at that. Impressive. Oh, look at that elbow. Oh, look at that other elbow. Oh, my goodness.
Look at that.
Oh, my goodness.
Champion.
Yep.
Damn it.
Dominant woman, man. Yes, dominant.
Just a great fighter. Forget it.
That kick's not it. So good.
So good.
And again, it's like, you got Rose, you got her, you got Joanna, you got, like, the elite of the elite in this division. And she's fought them all.
Her balance is perfect. Look at Tatiana. Her head's all the way over. She's just leaning a lot of weight on her front foot.
Oh, that's what I'm talking about, baby.
That's a good shot. Finish that.
Come on.
Great job. Ducking under. It's a good shot, and she doesn't get it. A man.
A man.
I thought that was two one.
That was something down and then boom, boom.
Oh, my goodness.
She goes low and high.
How about those elbows in tight. When they were up against the cage, those were nasty.
So much higher.
How is she now?
Elbows.
Yeah.
She's never been getting diversity, so now she's in the fourth and fifth. This is the big.
We call this the deep waters.
The deep.
I think that Tatiana doesn't have a game plan right now. It's just.
Well, her game plan was a smaller on the ground, and then that's working. Forced to strike on the outside. You're.
Look at her breathing, man. Look at her breathing in the body.
She doesn't really know what to do. So she's moving forward.
She's well there.
Fix the problem.
That body language is not good.
Her head's literally past her front foot.
Then you got this Chinese tear waiting over there.
This body language right here, it's never.
A good sign when she's already off the stool.
Jumping around like that, it's a nightmare. This is bad body language. It's rough, man. This is where it gets hard because you've never done this. Fourth and fifth.
Listen, guys. Done the wrestling. How many times I got to tell you?
Yeah, but it's also the striking, the championships experience, all of it.
Well, they're asking Tatiana do a lot. And she. She jumped the queue.
Oh, listen to this. He was all American a little while ago.
Isn't that amazing?
Isn't that incredible? What is explaining fair weather, Frank.
Thank you.
She can still do it.
She can still do it with you.
Right.
I'm staying with Tatiana.
All right, let's go.
I like you. I like your. I like your loyalty. I do. I appreciate it.
Let's see what happens in the fifth round. It's gonna be going. I've been thinking Tatiana all the time. I just wanted her to win because I'm American.
Look at her.
She's going in. Fearless now because she knows she's.
That's exciting.
Oh. Oh, right. Oh, she clipped her again.
She's stepping back.
Oh, again, like when Tatiana closes the distance. Oh, wow. She took her down.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable. America.
Yo, someone said three O. Z. Get the dude.
I want to.
No, not three. I get the first round for sure. Well, the first round, she did communist get on top at the end.
I'm just. Sorry.
Can I just tell you with this half guard escape, it's killing me. I want to show it to you right now.
What is it? I, I, I. Hers.
You mean if she uses a left leg, pulls that out, pelvis up and down, she's out.
What do you mean?
Like with her left leg, if she pulls, scrapes it out.
Okay.
And she brings her pelvis forward into the floor. It out. I'll show. I'll put Brendan on me afterwards. I'll show you.
Really?
Yeah.
Because once you get to your side, you're out with it. Her left. I used to use that when I was 230. Getting out from underneath.
I swear to God, Matt, if I lived near you, I would be taking.
If she had the underhook on the left side. Right.
If she has her underhook and she brings her forward, gets on her side.
Yes.
Retract this arm. We scrape that out, pelvis forward and to the floor. But it comes out like butter.
But her. You're saying her pelvis on the floor, but then isn't she on the. How does she escape from that? Yeah, you got to show it to me.
I'll show it to you.
You would have to be in the half guard, but when you're in the half guard, she the. Where she has the underhook on the left hand side. She could basically pop her left leg out, put it beside her and, and, and lean her body left. And she would take her down. She would look at this head and arm. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.
From half guard, look at this. This.
Oh, my God.
She's okay until.
Well, Zhang Li might get out. She might get all the way over. But still, she's cooking her. She's cooking her in this position.
Y and she's waiting like she's not.
Doing good here, man. This is not good. And that left leg is basically free. That left leg's basically free. Look at that. It's basically free.
What does she want to do? Get her hips on.
She wants to get to the right side, but she doesn't want to lose position while she's doing it. Oh, no. Tatiana brought her back to full guard. Nicely done. That's over now that it's gone. But that was close. But she probably didn't want championship experience too. Didn't want to gas her. Her arms out.
Somebody cut her knee with a knife.
Oh, my God. Look at that gash on her left knee.
How'd that happen?
That's a good question.
Oh, Jesus.
That's bad.
God damn.
She's just mauling her. Pushing her face down, just. Oh, yeah, Nasty elbows to the body.
Oh, she's so physical. Mark, think about Zhang Weili is like her training is. It rivals everybody.
Yeah.
It's like her strength and conditioning training is amazing.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
If you want to get fired up for a workout, watch her strength and conditioning training. She's ferocious, man. And again, it's that championship level experience. Like she's been in all these trench wars.
You guys still hanging off things, Tits?
Yeah, bro.
We're ready to buy Chinese electricity cars. We're ordering Chinese electric cars?
That's right. Damn right we are.
I hear trying to get one of them ban Chinese Android phones. Hook it up to T Mobile.
They have a lot of spyware in there to take your bio.
Did she take that down and down?
Yeah, she did.
That spyware helps you because they, they, they give you recommendations for things to buy that you really want.
That's right, from Alibaba.
Look at that. Oh, Tatiana scrambled. Oh, look at that. She. She capitalized on the scramble. Look at that. That. So much better shape she can get.
On that half guard.
A lot of it is just be in better shape, man. Her physical conditioning is like. She can push this pace.
She's just better. She's just better all the way around. Yeah, in every way she's better.
Look at this side control again.
You're dealing with a 01 percenter.
She's a animal, man. And Tatiana getting mauled off her back was not on my Chinese. Hanging off of it.
Damn.
It's all right.
Fought in like two years.
You were all over her. You were like, she's gonna choke her out in the second round.
Me and Brian were right. What's up. Me and Brian were right around.
Don't.
My feeling was I thought this was going to be the toughest fight that John Whaley has. Me too, stylistically, but I'm so impressed.
Not when I was in the house. Guys.
Oh, it's. Which guys from Iowa?
Brian, the brothers.
Oh, those guys? Yeah.
Two brothers.
They actually weren't. They weren't.
Probably find out they were good, but.
They were like top 15. They weren't like, Iowa's a good.
Be chill.
Yeah. But they had. They had a really good rest.
Nasty elbow.
Come there.
She. Her up with that elbow.
You know, up until now, she probably didn't have to use a striking too much. I mean, that's what it must be. Yeah. If it's not broke, don't fix it. She would just take him down and smoke.
She's beating her up in the floor.
In the corner there. You're like, I. I don't know. Man the shots up better.
Well, I feel like you going to.
Say, set the shot.
I feel like it's 3:1. All this. So it's over already.
Over is tough.
She's got to finish her. Dude.
How'd that happen?
Somebody took a bite mark.
I'm a ch.
What from a wolf.
Looks like a bite mark to me.
Yeah, it's stuck.
A wolf.
It's a bite mark.
Cheating vampire. Bitter. What the happened there?
That's a shark bite is what that is.
How did you not like Nosferatu? It's really just disappointing.
It.
It was all right. It was slow.
He watched the Sopranos. He was like, n. Bro, that vampire.
Is the greatest vampire in every.
You got a handlebar mustache.
It was amazing. That's what they looked like back then in two days. Yeah, it was awesome.
Yeah, it wasn't bad.
How about when he ate the kids?
That was. That was a lot, right? That was a lot.
Oh, that's going to make me want to see it a lot. Yeah, it's a great selling point. Isn't it great when he ate the children.
Horrible. Horrible vampire. Yeah, he's horrible. But he was on top of the dude. Yeah.
Naked.
And it was sucking out of his chest, like.
Oh, how about when he stands on. You see his dick?
Yeah. Nice.
Yeah.
Right? He's scary.
Yeah. Let's go. He was the best vampire of all time. He sleeps naked, too, like all the other. Yeah, he does sleep naked with their stupid tuxedos on.
That's ridiculous. He doesn't have makeup on like those other vamps.
Yeah, he was rotting, too.
You need a. You need another Lost Boys. That was a good.
I just watched it.
I just rewatched you bring up it holds. It's still. It still holds.
Same sentence as nos right hand. Oh, she just tagged her with her right hand.
It stands the test of time, man.
I watch if you guys are in.
The vampires you got to watch True Blood might take some heat for that but it's fan six part series on.
That series any well, yeah, great.
It's a good show.
I thought it, I thought it fell off towards the. I didn't like that. Bill Olson's a prick and he used to be good and oh, oh, oh, oh.
She's making her pay.
Oh my God.
Even if she gets her down coming.
At it, she'll have to get a.
Finish take down defense.
It's the same but it's the same.
Move because it worked her whole career up until now.
It's just so impressive.
Oh, look at this, look at this, look at this.
So impressive that Zhang Weili can defy.
Down defense is wild.
Amazing. Look at this.
Still got those little tree trunks.
Still incredible.
Unbelievable.
I mean that's so impressive. That's so impressive. And then free spins out and then you got to eat some shots. Yeah, then you got to eat some shots and now you're tired as.
Oh my God. She's coming though.
She's coming right that she's animal going forward.
Oh, she's a animal.
I just want to emphasize she beat cancer, Brian.
She did be cancer.
Listen, all respect, God bless.
Dealing with.
Just a better fighter. It's very hard. No shame.
That left hand's no, it's not even a threat though. When she throws it, it's kind of.
Know what to do. She doesn't know what to do. You're going to pay every time.
Oh, she's looking for the knee. Trying to catch it with a knee coming. Oh, right hand hurt her.
This is going to be a.
Her entry is bad but she's hurt.
What do you do?
She's also older. This was her opportunity. She's going to go back down the ladder. The division's not deep but at her age, one of the best ever.
Oh, it's going to be some learning on the job with the standup. She's going to have to attack. She has to have something threatening.
There's nothing cuz if some.
Look at this, look at that.
She's even going for an arm lock.
That was maybe unbelievable. That's.
That's conditioning.
Yep, yep, Yep. That's just 100 strength. How dare you. That's your girl? One of them is exhausted, and one of them is not okay. One of them is a fucking fitness machine.
One of them's getting their ass kicked.
Know what? You know what? I'm gonna say it. Zhang Weili is a better wrestler as well. I said it.
MMA wrestler.
Yes. She just is. Oh, my God. This ain't wrestling. How many times I got to tell you guys?
She scrambles like a. I'll tell you that. Look at this. Look at this. She's got her.
She shouldn't break your heart.
She got a headquart thing.
You know why it breaks our heart? Because we're from here, Brian.
No, look at this, okay? This is amazing.
We're from here.
You're right. I'm sorry. I apologize. Matt, you got to teach me the. I. Tell me what. What.
I'm going to show you right now on the floor.
No, no, no, no, no.
If. If you want to completely waste your time.
Mad show Brian. He won't remember.
I need it.
He still doesn't know how to throw a sidekick. This is. There. There's.
So why are you guys picking on me? I'm just. I'm just winning on this one.
Come on, we're winning together.
I got Sean Strickland next.
You got Strickland. How dare you. I know.
Now you're back on the American.
I like Strickland. I've always. I love the way he fights.
He's so tough to.
I just love this. I love it.
I'm on the DTB train, too, because he's a monster.
I love the way Strickland fights.
I'm all over those African nuts.
Yeah, me too.
I understand. That's a Smart money. But Strickland's.
Strickland an animal.
He's beautiful.
Also, he was funny. As at the press conferences. Oh, my God. He's always so good at the press conferences.
Great. Yeah.
He don't see what he said about Palestine, though, man.
See, you think the UFC's. I came in after the recent Bryce Mitchell stuff, he wants to chill out, and he's like, you got it. He went harder.
I didn't hear the press conf.
Oh, man.
I don't like when he's mean, but I do like his.
He's not mean. When's he mean?
I don't know.
Well, he was for the Jews in that one. Oh.
Oh, man.
Zhang Weili by unanimous decision, ladies and gentlemen.
Four one.
Yeah. Yeah, four one.
Of course.
Super impressive.
And ended up on. On top in the. The last.
The first round. Last round.
Too.
Still lost that round though.
Yeah, but not barely. But not 108, you know.
No, not 10 8.
But like Tatiana, it was looked like she was on her way to a maling.
All that happened was John way monster, monster.
What a. What a problem she is for Tatan.
It's tough cuz you're 31 coming off these injuries. You had your shot the title. You're not even close to the.
You got mauled and you spent most of the fight on your back, which is crazy.
It's tough. I wouldn't be surprised if she retires.
Well, who knows? I mean she might have had a real hard camp with all those injuries. Oh, she's getting beat.
I just think, I just think striking wise it's very different.
And pound son from the top though. This is top control. Like forget about the striking which is amazing. But Zhang Wei's dominating her on the ground, man. I mean beating her up, you know.
Who looked good with the Jasmine girl?
Look at this.
Oh, she looked, she looked really good.
Two 1. Yeah, it was rough.
Yeah.
She's. Well, her dreams are dashed.
Yeah, it's over.
At least give the girl a hug. I mean, come on now that's tough.
It's devastating.
Yeah, but man, I think they'll hug.
You know, it's devastating because there's. There's nothing she can do to be there. There's not enough hours in this.
There's no game plan.
You can't catch that, that gap. That's a big.
And you're 31.
So who else for her? Who else is in Zhang Wei's Lee's division? That's compelling.
There's nothing.
That's the problem.
There's good girls, women fighting right now is tough.
Jasmine.
Jasmine, our girl, the Canadian.
What about Rose Namajunas?
She's gone up to 135.
Damn.
Yeah. Or excuse me, 125. She went up to fly weight. Yeah. Instead of straw weight. She's. These are. They're fighting at 115. But Tatiana looks way bigger than that, doesn't she?
Oh yeah.
She almost looks like a bantamweight. Yeah, she definitely looks like a 125er.
Tough, tough. Standing up with no problem. Look at this.
Oh man, that was a mistake. Yeah. Team. Yeah.
But she didn't have any answers. It's just, it's a.
It's just so impressive. The takedown defense. So impressive and the, the ability to scramble and always wind up on top like right here. Man. That's so impressive.
The difference.
Great athlete.
So oh, just a Tank Man. And also skills. Just. It's like you gotta. It's not just athleticism, racism. It's. She's doing the right thing at every step. Like here she. She defends the trip, bro.
We were right.
Oh, you guys are so cool.
We feel we're the cool.
And Superman's for kids.
Super dog and go. Listen, dog is a cake.
You know what I'm giving up on?
Does the dog have a cat cape? James gun makes no sense. So stupid, that dog.
Listen, listen, you're a dog person. I love dog.
Show me what you're talking about.
Dogs do you want.
I love dogs. But that dog can go eat.
I show them what I'm talking about.
I hope super wolf eats that dog. I hope they keep that dog chained up outside. Oh, the half guard escape. Yeah, yeah, do it right over here. Well, right here.
I don't want to get.
No one's going to see. Someone else is going to have to explain it.
Okay. I don't give a. Want to jump on me?
Oh, yeah.
How are we going to see this? No one's going to see it.
No one's going to see. For you guys, we can talk about. No, no, because it's such a. When we're here. Got to take these off.
Brian, film this and you can get Instagram followers.
Get on me, big guy.
All right, give me a fella. You said you have back problem.
No, no, I'm good now. If I'm here and I. She had young.
What's that? No, it's okay. Brian's gonna film it. Brian, are you filming this?
If I bring my weight forward, he can't stop me from getting here. But that's what you're gonna do. So from this position, even if he.
Keeps the weight on limp arm.
See my lower body. Look what I do with this leg.
Yeah.
If I pull this leg out and.
Bring my pelvis forward.
Oh, did you see that?
Yeah.
No, I was getting height. Now we both got high. I want to get this limp arm.
Out with the left arm.
Bring that leg out. Look how I could just get out of that.
Technique, my friend. Technique, you know?
But that's such a I. Dude, it's such a technique. Now I'm even shorter with my shoes. But even with huge guys. Man, it's so good to get out from It's.
Isn't it fascinating? Just technique. Technique and just knowing position. It makes everything so much more smooth and sweet. Such a beautiful sport.
God damn, I love it.
Oh, it's the best Jiu Jitsu, it's like watching someone pull something off that's magical. It's just like.
Yeah, I know, dude. I get so excited still. My guys are just pulling off. Oh yeah, grown ass men. I go, you know, you get it. Because every time they get something I'm like, oh, gold star, gold star for John Perez. I'm like, you know, you're gonna go home and tell your wife you got a gold star. You're a grown ass man. And they do. I did my wife excited I around.
That's why when people don't care about belts. I don't care about belts. Yeah, you do.
Yeah, everyone does.
Yeah, you do.
Yeah, well, you know, it's like the time they put into it, it's like getting a nice pat on the back.
Yeah, well it's also, it's like there's stages that show you you're legit.
Yeah.
Like Rick Caruso. The guy was running for mayor of la, his son reached purple belt. I said, hey, it's a big deal. That's a big deal. You're basically a black belt. You just got to keep track training.
Yes.
If you can get to purple belt, you can get to black belt. You just got to stay at it and trust the process and keep training hard and you'll get to black belt.
Because how many people.
Because a lot of people get black, right? Because people get blue belt, it's like, you know, that's great. It's a nice little motivator. But you show me you got purple belt, that means you're tapping out legit guys.
Yeah.
Now you got some moves you probably like. Oh yeah. They explode. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They have the skills, they still have the experience.
I think when I moved to Austin, if I really apply my myself by the time I'm 65, we got to.
Get you on the peptide, son. You're around with nature for too long. I know nature's boring. Father Times, I swear to God, Father Time is undefeated.
You want to with that stem cells.
And stuff, we'll do another protect your neck and we'll. I'll bring you in the day early and we'll get you to the stem cell place ways to. Well, no problem. You just tell me.
I plan to go my buddy Abe to Colombia. Here in in.
Come. Come to Austin first because we'll get it all gratas. You'll get it for freeze for freezies. I'll have ways to well hook you up and then you know, we'll do a protecting.
Let me know man.
We gotta do another one. Those are fun.
Those are fun.
We do John Rallo, Dean Thomas, and Matt. Amazing.
He's the best.
John Rallo's the best.
Oh, he's funny, man.
I love the graphics. He's fun and he's an ogre.
Oh, he's a.
He's a gigantic human being. Big ass black belt. He was well over £300 at one point. Oh, yeah. Here it is, folks, the main event.
Where's that lighter for my cigar?
There you go, sir.
I don't smoke cigars.
He's all. He's all.
He's all warmed up.
So, B, you're doing well tonight. So you got got. I mean, you took the favorite, though.
You got Strickland, but you got Strickland.
Yeah.
So you're taking the dog.
What do you got? Who you got? Shop.
I'm rooting for Strickland, but ddp, it's.
He's hard because he's gonna push the pace and it's really hard.
If I were to put money out, probably ddp, but I'm rooting for Strickland.
Yeah. The only thing about.
I like the mustache. I really do. Yeah, I like him with the mustache. He's like old Bronson, that psychotic guy from Australia.
Yes, he is.
He looks like a killer.
He is. He's awesome.
I think he's very focused. I'm fired up for this.
His. His boxing's outstanding. It's just.
I'm just curious what changes Strickland can make. He has a great team. I think the best. You know, besides Matt's team has probably the best coaching staff. They have.
Who's this? You're saying Nick?
Sick.
Nice.
This movie looks cool. What is this? It looks like a fun, like black. Oh, his hand just got chopped off. He plays a guy that's.
Oh, the director of Parasite.
And they keep testing him out. So they keep testing his. Like, what can you.
What.
Pushing him till he dies and then they transfer his consciousness into a new body and then the clones find themselves that. Oh, my God, clones aren't dying is. That's like they show in the trailer. Oh, my God, bro. That's a real problem with, like, when they can duplicate your consciousness and put it on a hard drive. What's to stop someone like Trump from doing it a million times? I'm gonna have a million to me. Trump.
I'm back.
Have a million trumps. If we get to a point where you can make a clone, and we're probably already done that. China's probably already have clones. I Bet they have clones.
Trump would already do it.
But how is your dog?
Yeah.
So you could probably clone a person.
Yeah. But can you get their consciousness into them?
Definitely not. Like, twins are different.
Yeah.
Right. Twins are, like, pretty close.
That Thomas Campbell podcast was, to me, the most mind blowing thing.
Wild stuff, right? Wow.
It's close to unlocking the secrets of what. Like, that's. That might be the new evolution. Like, we're going to realize that there's something beyond evolution. Like, that the evolution was. Is within a larger umbrella, which is the notion that this is. This is a virtual reality. This is a simulation.
It's a virtual reality. You're experiencing with consciousness.
Yes.
And consciousness helps perform it.
Yes.
I was literally just experiencing virtual reality.
Literally. That's what we're saying.
Just playing my.
When I knew what you were. When I called you and I couldn't get to you, when I was inviting you to dinner, I was like, he's probably got the headset on.
You got a camera in there? Oh, it's fun. Last night I sent you the picture.
Yeah, you sent me the picture. You're addicted. What game you play again?
Contractor showdown. Did you ever play Modern Warfare? Oh, yeah, same, but in VR. Oh, nergasm.
I don't want to do it. I might get addicted to that.
Listen, I play that in the hotel. People think sometimes I'm yelling and.
Yeah. Are you playing other people?
People probably think somebody's getting murdered. I'm stabbing them.
Are you playing the game or other people?
I'm playing a game. No, no, I squat up.
Yeah.
There's no way you could say this would not sound like a nerd. Stop it. I see you getting ready. No, because I squat up.
Groups of three.
Here we go. Contractors, showdown. Let's go. You're welcome.
M1 rifle.
Look at that, dude.
The sniping on this. That's the lobby right there. That's just. But that's the gameplay right here. You get out of an airplane, you find weapons, and you just.
All in virtual reality.
Yes, but in virtual reality, like, you're loading.
With all your jiu jitsu.
What's that?
How do you have time to.
Do you make the time?
Dude, I don't. First of all, I don't know. All I do is go to my school and I do my podcast. I'm doing my thing with Jimmy unfiltered. I do my new podcast. Matt Sarah channel.
You're an. Oh, yes.
So glad.
Those Superman trailers and all that. Geek. But I had George. I had George St. Pierre on the other day.
Nice.
And. Yeah, so.
But look at this game. This is amazing.
Oh, this is fun, dude. You like this?
And what are you using for a gun? Like what kind of.
Well, you got the controllers. You got the controllers and. But when you. Your hands are the controllers. So, like, you pick up a gun, you take the thing out, so you're really doing with your hands.
I'm surprised they don't make, like, a fake gun.
This is a great game. This is a fantastic game.
This is wild.
Contract is showdown.
When I have, like, where it turns into a workout.
Well, they have some on the. They have these uno directional treadmills. Have you seen those? They strap you in on your chest. You can't move, and you can run in any direction. Left, right? Yeah. So you're. You're. You're in, like, this, like, a halo that goes around your waist, and it's connected to these cables that's attached to this, like, circular, unidirectional treadmill. And you run in any direction, and you really do work out. And guys are screaming at each other. They're all got their head. See if you can find.
My wife was gonna get that for.
Me, but I think right there. So that's a unidirectional treadmill. It's badass. So you get on that thing, and when you're on it, you're running around. So watch, this guy's on it. He's gonna start moving. You start walking. Look at that.
Whoa.
Isn't that crazy?
You know what? My wife, she got me one of those vests that, when you shoot it, I didn't get it. Yeah, she got me that. I didn't get it hooked up yet.
These kids now who have been playing these games with the guns, when they go to a shooting range. The SWAT guy was saying, these kids are as good as anybody.
Well, there's a kid who does the simulation. They made a movie out. He played Gran Turismo. Then he actually raced for Nismo and came in third.
Yeah, that's right.
That's what's going on with shooting. These kids are all headshots.
Do you know they did studies with surgeons, and they found that surgeons who play video games make, like 25 less errors.
Wow. Yeah, makes sense.
37%. 37% less errors. Jesus Christ. That's. That's crazy. So it's like. It's real. Like hand eye coordination and feedback and motion.
Of course.
And I'm in a house of women, man. Like, my wife, my three daughters, they're watching her or Something. I could be in the room with them.
That makes sense.
I did the boxing thing. That's pretty fun.
That's crazy. You're in the room with them. They're watching like Gone Girl or something. Oh, 100.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah, it's fun, man.
It's a workout, though. Be my son. Does the VR boxing and sweats?
Is it me too?
Oh, yeah. The VR boxing is great because it. When you get hit, you see like a flash of light, like. And eventually they'll have something where you're wearing a headset. You'll feel like a vibration in your face, like, you got thump.
So they. They made this illegal for the mlb, but you can now have a pitcher. They'll take any pitcher, like, in the major leagues, and they'll throw this.
You have shoes on now. Those. I think I like the treadmill better. I fall down if I have those. Stupid. That looks weird.
Yeah, you're gonna fall.
He walks weird too.
But.
But they have. With the m. With Major League baseball pitchers, they have a simulation and you can see the actual pitcher and he throws whatever he throws, the ball comes at you.
Who told you?
And they made it illegal.
No, they have. They made it illegal. They don't. It's too. They don't let. They don't want anybody in the major leagues actually using it. That's.
Stop lying.
I swear that's to sell.
No, Kevin. Babe, Kevin Bay was talking about it. The. The machine's like a hundred thousand dollars.
And can't have it. Watch what happens. You get a. Let a roast.
So you get a towel.
It gives them, apparently.
So they said, yeah, too much of it. We don't want you to be good.
Yeah, that's what happens. You guys don't know. Shut up.
Find that out. Jamie, it's sticking in his face. You know it can't be true.
No, it is.
Find it.
Find that.
Are video games illegal in mlb?
No. No. You can't play. You can't have the actual picture simulated.
Whatever. I was drinking. Oh, thank you.
Let's talk about how much better Jamie is at golf than you. I know how much better his drive was.
Your swing is great. Great, dude.
It was very depressing watching you try to compete with him.
Oh, he tried to compete.
Try to compete with Jamie's drive.
My swing was actually rather beautiful.
It wasn't that good. You got like 45 yards. Jamie got two.
I wasn't. First of all, it was longer than 45. And plus I wasn't warmed up off.
The deck by the Way. Not even with a T. Jamie, you.
Play how you play? Like, real or you just play virtual?
No, I play it real. Yeah, yeah.
Touch some grass.
He's good, man.
Virtual is where he hones, works on the craft skills.
Yeah, Touch. Touch grass, though.
But he's got that smooth.
He's got. He's got that man's body just like a Charles Bronson.
I'm so pumped for this fight.
This is wild, man.
I'm just curious to what changes Strickland's gonna make to win more rounds.
Well, he's gonna have to avoid takedowns. Does he grapple less, grapple less or more?
Does he shoot for takedowns?
He said he thinks he's gonna piece him up. That's what he said. Which means on the feet, jab, teep. A lot of jabs and teeps.
I think you're gonna see DDP wrestle more. I think he's gonna.
I think DDP is. I think we can see some stricken. Because, remember, this is the same coach that with Francis. Had him shoot more. Surprise everybody.
Yeah, I think he's gonna. I think he's gonna do a lot of wrestling.
Staff looks legit. That staff on his left arm, that looks legit. That looks like real staff to me.
That's not good.
Yeah, that looks like real.
So he's probably on antibiotics.
I gotta think so.
And if he is, that's not good.
Unless he said it. Let's just go topical, I bet. And control it. Yeah, he might just control it with topical.
Yeah, you don't want to use it because you can.
You can control it with topical.
Looks like I got dug out a little bit.
It looks like a pus. It looks like a big old giant zit. That's where they get scary when they get big because you think they're getting systemic. You know, they're getting your bloodstream.
I got a boil of something called Falunko or some on my collarbone when I was in Brazil. Dude, that was the most disgusting first of all. The mats were disgusting. No, it wasn't stacked. I think it's a. It's a. I think they call it a boil here or something, whatever it was. But it got really big, like a big zit. And then it finally, like, comes to a head. And then at the end, you pull out a little piece of phlegm. It looked like a bullet wound in there.
It was.
I had cancer on my back. I. They took out a squamous cell.
Oh, yeah, you did me there.
Had to. We had to. We couldn't let you. I beat cancer.
I beat cancer.
You had a little pus. I had cancer.
I beat cancer. But it kept itching. And I was like, the is. Why is this itching? And I went and they took out a piece. She called me up, she goes, you got a little scream of cell there, man.
It was a while ago dream.
They just gave me a cream I gotta put on my nose. You see this little mark here?
What is it?
What is it?
It's like a little basil. The lady said that she's giving me some chemo cream.
It's a basil cell. Maybe.
Yeah.
She goes, just. But I didn't want to. They said, I'll use this. I'll start it next week. I was supposed to start it a week ago, but. And then. Because it's supposed to get, like, crusty and it's getting all nasty.
Don't around with something that doesn't. Like if it keeps bleeding. Eating that. That's not.
Well, she said to go back to see her after two weeks of using it.
Yeah.
And she'll know if she has to cut me or anything. Yeah.
Take it out.
It's from the sun. I like the sun, man. Dude, it's. I was laying out today in the back of my.
Yeah, it was nice out.
It is good. All that about the sun being bad for his nonsense. It's just you shouldn't get over exposure and get burned.
Right.
I don't believe in sunset.
You're supposed to build up moderation.
You get dark.
Yeah, I don't. I don't use sunscreen. Have even as a kid.
Good for you. That shit's poison.
Yeah. Facts.
I mean, they have some, like, natural sunscreens, but it looks like you're wearing black face. Natural sunscreen look like the sunburn. It looks like you're a goth kid.
Zinc cream, you know?
Yeah.
You see parents lathering their kids up with them, like.
Yeah.
Give them some sun.
Yeah.
They need. So everyone's scared of sunburn, and everyone's scared.
That's on your skin, right? Depends on what's up.
Jamie, what's this? You see this mustache? I give staff. I don't get staff. Oh, okay.
All right.
That was his take on it.
You see this?
I give staff. Strickland.
I don't get staff.
Well, that means he has staff.
See?
What.
You see what Strickland said at the press conference? He goes, you fight like a. Like you ride the short bus like.
A. Yeah, he does fight.
And then Dris goes. And you look like the one Driving it.
That's funny.
But the problem with that is, like, the one driving is a normal person. Yeah.
Not a good car.
I heard. Liked it, though.
Yeah. They're dumb. They're dumb. They're not thinking logically. That didn't make sense. I'm pumped. What do you think, Matt?
You know, I'm, I'm going with Strickland. I made this. I feel like Strickland's going to win.
By decision, but smart money's on ddb.
You know why? Because, like, he adds in those takedowns, but he takes away those takedowns, and he puts a little more stank on it. I feel. Who knows how much that cut really bothered him in that with that eye. Because he's making, he's, I don't, I think he's an honest guy. And he said. And he's saying it with him, you.
Know, I'm sure it did.
I, I, I have to say that, that Strickland stands pretty straight up, so he does seem open for takedowns, and I'm surprised.
I know he's hard to take down. Skillful. And he spars so much.
I know.
You know, he spars more than anybody in the ufc when they put that mouthpiece in that registers how many times you get hit. He gets hit less than anybody. Yeah.
He's the best striking defense ever.
Yeah. Ever.
That's why I love watching him. He's amazing.
He's gonna.
But deep. He's so big.
I thought he won the first fight.
I thought he won the first fight, but I thought it was close. Dana thought he won the first fight, too.
Yeah.
And he might have been compromised with that, with that eye, so.
He definitely was. But I think, also, I think Dricus is even better.
Yeah.
I think Dris just keeps getting better.
Yeah.
He's got that belief in himself.
Oh, man. And he's huge. When I stand next to him, I can't believe he makes 185. I mean, literally, when in between fights, he looks like a heavyweight. He's so big.
He looked like he was 240 standing next to Bisbing and Bisbec. 220. Yeah.
Well, he looked real thin at the weigh ins yesterday, and he looks like he filled in a lot. They interviewed him, like, pretty much right after. After he got on the scales, which I always think sucks.
Yeah.
Give the guy a few hours.
You know, you're not allowed to do iv. Iv?
No. You're not.
Why?
I don't know. I think it's stupid.
Me, too.
You think you had masks.
I got an IV today. It was awesome. I love IVs, IV vitamins and zinc. Whenever I'm feeling kind of shitty, I get an iv. NAD vitamins?
Yeah. What about NAD vitamins?
Oh, it's great. It is phenomenal. What do they say? What do they say? You have to shame.
You have to shoot it into your body first. Or do you don't take it supplement wise, you shoot it.
No, you can take. You can take nmn, which like, helps build up it naturally, has kind of a similar effect. But I think IV NAD is the most potent form of it.
You take a lot of stuff.
That's right. Feeling good.
I like it.
Feeling Good at 85 years old.
Not bad, buddy. You're. When are you 58?
August.
Is it gonna feel weird when you say you're 60? Because it felt weird when I was. When 50 felt a little weird.
I don't. You're 50, bro.
Honestly, 50, bro.
You don't look it.
Sorry, guys. I know you're approaching the other one, but you look. I'm 50.
I'm 57. I'll be 58. I don't think about it anymore because there's nothing I can do about it. All I think about is making sure my body works great.
Yeah.
And as long as I stay up on the peptides and the hormones and train all the time and constantly work out, do a bunch of different things. Kettlebells, cardio, cold plunge, sauna, every day, all these different things, it stays working.
But if you look at a 58 year old from like the 1960s, they were dead. It's a different thing. Like 58 is different than what it was, bro.
I'm sweating. I'm getting ready for this fight. I'm fired up.
I can't wait.
I'm sweating.
DDP has actually skinny legs, so a lot of his weight, his upper body.
So I don't know if their skin is.
I mean, comparatively. Comparatively. Bara's ass. He's got more ass than Beyonce, man. That ass is on a different level.
I don't know about that, Pereira.
You mean.
I mean Pera.
Oh, yeah.
Unbelievable, bro.
That's the scariest kickboxer that's ever fought in the sport. Oh, you. You up one time. All just takes one. No, no, no. Pereira, one shot.
Strickland, greatest defensive fighter we've seen. He just one left different, starched up.
Tagged him couple times. The chest got him reaching for it. Came over with that left hook.
Night.
Night.
For Izzy's legacy. It's nice he had that one time.
It's nice.
And the way he did it, the way he arrows at the end, he has. That's enough just to be like, all.
Right, you know what? Oh, he's like.
There's. I think with. With Alex, like, there's a difference between MMA striking, like the elite strikers and then actual elite strikers.
Right, Right. He's an Actual Elite 2 Division Glory World championship. Huge. But there's that dude, Vahitov, that's now in mma, who beat him in glory in his last fight. Close fight decision.
Super controversial fight. Yeah.
But he won and he landed more shots than Pereira. And he. He's got a style that, like, doesn't leave any openings. He's, like, very technical. He's like a really good kickboxer. I don't know what kind of a ground game, if anything, he has.
They got TDP list at 6 1. Is he. He's not 6 2.
He looks 6, too, to me. Yeah, but those. Those guys like that, that are Russian, those Russian dudes, they learn wrestling when they're babies anyway. I guarantee that guy has some sort of a Sambo background, the shape he's in.
Holy.
He's as strong as.
Yeah, Vahitov is interesting because I think he just fought on Dana White's Contender Series.
They signed him.
I think they signed him. He's just gonna see that. Artem Vahitov, if he fought on Dana White's Contender Contender Series, it's just gonna.
Have a tough path to get to Alex. Like, Alex was catapulted in the front because Izzy was so dominant. So they sped him to the front.
Right.
It's gonna be different.
No, it's different also. It's different because Alex puts people into Night Night Land and body talked by tko. Yeah, he won by tko. Vitov is good, man. Super technical. Here we go.
Let's. Here we go.
This is an insane way to make a living.
Oh, my goodness.
Love it.
This is it. This is it. Here we go. Here we go. All right. Round one. Let's go.
Look at that.
I'm so curious on the adjustments they. They make.
I think Sean fights one way, man. He's going to just do more of it.
Such a good way. It's such a good way. That jab is just so hard to with straight up. DDP did a lot of that in that first fight, too. That left switch kick beats up the arms a little bit, you know, because even if you block it like that, that sucks. I mean, it sucks your calf. Imagine what it's doing to your Forearm. I mean, so many times, guys arms go numb and you just don't know it because they're still moving around. It's not like a calf where you see him limping. I mean, how much does that take out of your punching power, that kick? Yeah, he was slick with that. He landed a lot of those in the first fight. He's just. He's a guy that, for whatever reason, because the way he moves, people sleep on him.
Yeah, they don't give him the respect.
It's weird.
He doesn't look like your conventional elite.
Oh, look at that. Yeah, Sneaky question mark kick. He keeps throwing that up to the top. It's quick, too, and he's got the.
Endurance to keep throwing him.
And there's the low.
Sean's really good at checking those kicks, but it's not checking these.
Well, he does that same style of checking kicks that Pereira does where he kind of hack. Yeah, he hacky sacks ax. You know, you turn that foot all the way up towards your knee.
Love the jab, man.
Yeah, man, he's got a great smooth, man.
But DDP's doing a smart thing by attacking the legs.
Really smart.
Attacking the legs and attacking the arm with the switch kick, and then threatening with the high kick.
Ouch.
Ouch.
It's just an investment for later rounds.
It's such an awkward way of moving. It's so weird. Like Robert Whitaker and Izzy were talking about. They're like, he's the best fighter, fighter ever. Yeah, but how do you say that he's a world. How do you say he's a fighter? The guy's a world champion. But it's just. It's awkward, but so effective. Like when he took out Robert Whitaker in the first round, I was like, my God, he's powerful, athletic. Oh, my God. So strong.
Just durable. It's durable as this is the old.
Feeling out stage and that.
But that move that he's doing back, though, it's interesting. Oh, spinning back. Well, this is where Sean fights at his best. But. But DDP is by doing those switch kicks and those low kicks there. He did the hacky sack on that one.
Stop standing your grill. Look at Sean pop, pop.
That is a dangerous move, that left kick, because it's sneaky. He didn't land it to the face in the first fight, but he threatened with it a bunch of times. If he can land that, that's a fight changer.
God, look at that, Sean.
So hard to hit. Yes, man, so hard to hit clean. His instincts and his timing, because he sparrows so much active out there, man. Oh, yeah.
DP's winning around.
Well, he's certainly landing more kicks. Yeah. Right.
That's what matters for the judges.
Well, damage matters. I mean, if. If Sean can get off a onew, if he could do something significant. But right now it's like kind of touching them. And DDP's not letting them set up. Nope, he's not.
Let him get in groove.
Sean does not kick that much, you know, and when he kicks, it's very linear. He's got a really up. Was it right leg?
Yeah, it's quad. He doesn't have a quad.
It's all fucked up, really. He was just riding a motorcycle on the Countdown show and fell down. He's crazy. Yeah, he fell down. He's crazy. I mean, he's got a giant fight coming up and he's still riding motorcycles. He was wrestling with guys in Australia on a beach, on a bridge, throwing them into the water.
Yep. Doing back flips.
I saw that.
Yeah, it's an animal.
He's getting out pointed right now, though. Only because he's only. Cuz he's not busy enough.
Yeah, DDP's winning this round.
He's definitely more active. Oh, there's that jab. Boy, you hit ddp. He gets mad.
Yeah, he does.
He goes bulldog mode on you. He just got to do something significant other than just touch him with the jab.
Sean. Yeah, he really doesn't do much more than that.
Well, he's looking for them openings and. Right. Low kick is so nice. That time is so nice.
Yeah, this is.
And I think DDP just keeps getting better, too. That's the thing. And then as a champion, you know, I mean, I think he's got even more confidence. Yeah.
I think db, he has a lot more growth and adjustments to make to beat strictly.
And the kicks are just a totally different element. Right. I mean, it's a distance thing. It's a, you know, it's a power thing. You got to kind of like. You can't fire back when they're hitting you. You got to really block them.
And think about it, he hasn't even started grappling yet. So that's still in the chamber.
It's just Sean is like mostly teeps and then jab, 1, 2. But it's almost all straight at you. Very few low kicks.
This took place in the center, See?
It's all the teeps. He's doing a good job of avoiding those big bombs, though, that are coming at him.
He's so hard to hit, man.
He is, but he's getting his legs chewed up, man. That was the first round for champion.
You go back the corner like. But we can't keep doing this.
Yeah, you.
You got to take away those legs.
Here's the question. Is trickling on antibiotics? I mean, that looks like a real staph infection. I know Rockhold beat Weidman. He was on anti antibiotics. You know, guys have won big fights on antibiotics. Yeah, but it's so hard to fight on that stuff. Your. Your energy is drained the worst. Oh, it's hard.
I mean, he's. Unless he's just keeping some. Keeping his. Keeping his energy. Energy for the later rounds.
Is there a way to mitigate the effects of antibiotics? Have you ever heard of anything that the guys take?
Nah, man.
I didn't hear anything like heavy probiotics. Is there anything that you can take?
No, I have no clue, dude. I. I know Marab fought his first fight when he was getting over something, and I still think he won. He got robbed, but it hits your heart either he's on it. I know he just got over it, but I think it was.
They said that last fight, Marab had a horrible stuff. Infection on his shin.
Oh, yeah.
That he had a back problem. I broke my back.
He just like, you won. You won't.
All right, let's go, let's go.
Let's see what adjustments Strickland makes.
I don't think he's going to make any adjustments. I think he's gonna.
He's got to be busy.
Well, he's got to make some adjustments to deal with these kicks.
He's gonna lose five rounds if he doesn't change. And DDP's gonna start wrestling soon, too, because once Strickland starts committing, he's gonna start shooting.
DDP is so sneaky with that high kick. That's a nasty high kick, man. There's a Loki in. He checked that one.
Yeah, he checked it.
He's got to get through that shell.
Man's got to get a little loose.
Yeah, he's got to do something big.
To get on his bike.
It's got to be frustrating that you can just do whatever you want to DDP and he just absorbs it.
Oh, there again, he's sneaking that kick in.
He's got to get busier.
See, see, Strickland's doing a great job avoiding a lot of shots, but he's just not doing much right.
And DDP keeps chopping up the legs. It's not everything in a fight, but it's something. You know, it's like no head shots have been landed.
Yeah.
In this fight, it's everything.
It's all that's been landed to the body again.
He's catching his elbow, though.
Yeah, but still. That's horrible, dude.
Points, though.
Yeah, it's something. Yeah, it's the most. Oh, there's a right hand. Over the top. Needs a little more of that. Oh, here we go.
Start R. Or DDP's going to start.
Yeah. I'm surprised. Yeah. Part of the game.
Strickland's turning the gas.
This is what we need.
Strickland's hitting the gas now. We need this. He. He can't leave these rounds in the hands of the judges. This is the second round already. Oh, again.
Checked it.
I know, but it's still. It's like he's keeping him off balance with all that.
He's.
Every time he goes to set up, which he sets up with everybody. DDP is just constantly doing this low kick with the right common. There it is. It's like he's constantly got these patterns that he throws in this. In that stance. It's the switch switching up. Yeah, there's a left hand. Oh, he landed that left hand. He's coming. Yeah, it did, because he's landing that in the transitions of these.
Oh, that was a nice counter.
Nice.
Nice right hand. Nice right hand.
Oh, yeah, Just.
No.
Oh, there it is. There it is. There it is.
You gotta put yourself a little in harm's way to do harm.
Yeah.
Let's go.
That's a fast front check kick, man.
I mean, he needs to get DDP to start engaging in a boxing slugfest because he.
He's.
DDP's doing such a smart move with mixing in all these kicks, which. With everything, it. With your ability to, like, time everything. Yeah. And you have to keep getting reset. You get to keep reset, and every time you do it, he hits you again with it.
Yeah, he's not letting him get caught.
Oh, Strickland's nice.
Where's he bleeding from? Where's trickling his lip?
His mouth?
He got caught with a jab.
He's having a way better round, though.
He's also much more aggressive.
Yeah.
Much more forward.
This is it. This is it. Yeah, sure. Let's go. America getting in the zone now, man.
Sean can just stand right there and just.
He can celebrate in the Gulf of America after this. Oh, nice. Inside locking kicks are a pain in the ass. They're a pain in the ass because he's constantly Resetting you y. You know, again, like he's constantly reset. He never gives you a chance there. Again, high kick. He just again kicks the game. And the. It's a smart, smart game plan.
Until Sean shuts it down, he's just gonna keep.
Well, he can keep doing this. He can keep doing this. He's spanking rounds and it's gonna take Sean's legs away from him if he keeps doing it. I mean, Sean, as tough as he is, can only take so many of those kicks to the legs he checked on.
He's constantly throwing.
I know, but even checking them, Brian, they blow. They suck.
Yep.
Come on, make it.
His left leg is all welted up.
Make it ugly, man. Got to make it ugly.
Yeah, he's got.
He's going to have to stop outside.
There's the ch. Right hand to the body.
Nice. Nice.
There's another hard low kick. Man, these are hard kicks, man.
They're a.
It's part of, you know, the game that Sean just doesn't do. It's interesting because he's so good, but it's like such a specific attack, but he's so good at it. Oh, oh, he snuck it in again. Yeah, but he touched him with that.
Grazed him. Look at that.
I mean he's not getting clean with. That counts. It does count. Cuz Sean definitely doesn't want him kicking him in the face.
Good. Ouch.
That's a nice right hand. That's a nice right hand. Oh, now they're mixing. Let's go, let's go.
Third, fourth is going to be interesting.
Conor there it is.
Crazy when you look at Sean style like who fights like this stands totally straight up. Does.
Mostly part of why he doesn't have as much power though.
Yes.
But it's also why he's so hard to hit.
Oh yeah, he's great defense. Best defense in. In the game.
That's a. What do you think of that round?
Closer.
It was closer, but he might have been more active.
It seemed like he definitely landed more kicks. But Strickland landed a few good punches in that round. At least it was a better round for him.
But now he's. He's.
He great condition.
Look at that. Strikes 28 to 17.
Wow.
He's just more active. So Strickland's down two rounds now.
Yeah, yeah, he's got it. He's like, I'm sure Nick6 letting him.
Know and DDP's gonna keep doing it then once Strickland adjusts that, then he.
Makes it such a great Coach, it's his.
The guy with the red hair.
Yeah, said Shama.
There's that kick. There's a nice jab, right hand over the top.
Do some more of that.
Look at that.
Sean just gets just out of the way of the danger zone. It's just touching him.
Great eyes that can just boom.
Well, he spars so much, man. And there's something to be said for that. Yep, something to be said for that because that's like the majority of his training is sparring.
I think he spars without headgear too.
Because it's just, you know, let's go, let's go.
Round three.
Let's go.
Trick is just constant with these kicks and it's just like. It's such an obvious pattern too. He does it over and over again.
He's got. Look, you see him trying to get into an animal.
Shri is going to have to take some chances here.
Yeah, he. That was a good check. He checked with the other leg. He's got to get something off and really win around definitively. And push, push a harder pace. Cuz this like Drus could do this from the outside and he keeps having to reset.
Oh.
Oh, nice. That little stutter step. See that little stutter step he's got a reach is so weird.
He's in shape. Drake is.
Oh yeah, there is. Check that one.
Constantly throwing.
It's more busy, that's for sure.
Yeah. It's like Sean is just not getting a chance to get things off. Like the. The time he's looking for the openings, they're just not there. But as it gets into the pace, if Trick, I mean, Trickus is expending a lot of energy fighting like this.
And Strickland, you usually gets way stronger.
There it goes.
I like that. To the body too. More of that?
Yeah.
More than one punch, more than two. Mix it up.
What a crazy style.
Yeah, Both of them, you mean.
Very few round kicks. Just teeps, reaching a lot of jabs, right hands.
I can see Strickland doing the bare knuckle eventually. No, he could do it. I could see him doing that.
Yeah, he probably wanted to do it too. Connor keeps talking about doing it. That might be the next time we see him.
A good chance against Jimmy Stevens.
Oh my God. Imagine that.
Yeah, he probably said if they had a lot of caffeine.
You think we'll ever see Conor in caffeine?
I don't know if Conor's ever going to fight again. He's worth so much money.
I don't think so.
It's hard when a guy's worth that much money. And then when he got soft.
See, what's going to be scary with him in his own life is when he's out of the limelight. Because I think he's a dude that likes what's going to happen when he's an older fighter now or retired. Yeah. Officially. No one's expecting him back. Now what, right?
Does he get crazy?
Yeah, because that's why he keeps teasing the fight, sustain the news. But eventually.
That was a good right hand there by Strickland.
Let's go, Sean.
It's just DDP does not give you much chance to set up, man.
It's a weird like that.
Strickland just has to hope he kind of phases.
I feel like he just needs to just make this uglier. Like he's got to get closer to him.
It's just not his style.
Oh, did he catch that?
Yep. Yeah, he got him a little bit with that. That spin him. He just. God, he's constantly. He never rests. And he's another guy who relies on his fitness too. Cuz this is an exhausting style, man.
Oh, wild. When you're walking that ring and you're like, all right, five rounds, you know, it's probably going five.
It's all exploding and like closing distance. That's a nice kick to the body. It's never stopping, man. He just does not give Strickland a chance to reset. And Strickland's got to get something big off because this could be the round that makes it out of reach.
Strickland seems a little, little bit.
I want to see what happens if he loses this round. He's gonna have to be going for, bro.
Right. Because what this is the round that passes him, like to a point where he can't win a decision.
Yeah.
Strickland usually comes on heavy in the fourth and fifth, but that the their last fight. Strickland didn't do much in the fourth.
Yeah, but so does Dris. That's the problem. There it is. He's got to like, do something. Put a stamp on this round, like wobble him. Yeah, he's gotta. He's got to put it on him. He's got to win this round. Oh, nice. Nice spin.
That elbow landed flush.
Tell him.
And.
And because he's unable to pressure him, he's still looking fresh.
Oh, he caught him with a right hand there.
Opening up a little now.
It's just he's not getting a chance to get that offense off. It's very Impressive. Just he never gives him a chance to say set up. Always.
I'm just surprised Du Plessis isn't going for like a singular.
He doesn't need to.
Yeah.
Why would you. You're up three rounds, baby. Why would you risk it and get more tired? Cuz he can do this for five rounds.
Oh, he clipped him there.
There you go.
That was a crazy, like, swinging right here.
He still has that in his back pocket.
Was hard. Low kick.
Yikes.
That kick is low and hard.
There you go.
There you go. There it is.
And that's the.
Listen to coach Callan.
And that's the round.
Gotcha.
We worked on wrestling guys up to his feet.
Sure, he doesn't do much of the.
Takedowns because Sean gets back, but he's.
Got to give it to him. He's got to give it to him. There it is. He's got a really good down.
Three rounds.
Yeah, he's down three rounds and he knows it.
Yep, he knows it. That's rough.
He seems a little lackadaisical.
I wonder if it's the antibiotics. I wonder.
Or is it DDP style.
It's both.
It's a problem.
It might be both.
Hard to.
Yeah, probably both. Probably combo both.
I wonder what Nix is saying to him here.
We got to open up, take some chances.
He's not taking. Sean's not taking any damage at all. It's just he's getting his legs kicked and scoring.
No, he's. He's losing the fight.
Yeah. He's saying you got to push here.
We see if I'm. Yeah.
Good right hand by Sean.
Boom.
Oh, he caught him with that.
We got him with that one.
This.
Look at his elbow. Boom.
Yeah, but he caught him with his, like, back of his.
That was nice.
Yeah. Instead of the flush elbow.
He's gotta get. He. He. He looks a little. He's got to get going.
So tired actually there.
Yeah.
It could be the pace, but it could be the antibiotics.
We're not going to know till later.
Nice kick to the body again.
Yeah.
It's a pain in the ass. It's a front foot kick, though, right? So it's not as powerful, but.
Yeah, but it's land.
It scored recent rounds.
Chinny chin. Chin chin.
That was nice.
Come on, Shawnee.
He's got to put it on him, though. He's got to really put it on this round.
He doesn't seem to be falling up that right hand.
But it's tough to put it on because ddp. So dangerous.
Well, you don't want to get a slug fest with ddp, right?
Yeah, but you kind of have to.
It's like the other choices. You stay back and you lose a fourth round. Now you're down 4, 0.
At a certain point, you got to throw caution for the win, man.
If you want the win, you gotta.
Say, listen, you want to hurt him, you're going to be there to get hurt. But you're going to have to take that chance.
Yeah.
Otherwise you're just going to. It's going to go.
What we're doing now is not working.
It is a pain ass. Every time you come close, you get kicked in the stomach and just, you.
Know, it's just the conditioning. Oh, nice right hand. The conditioning to fight like this. Oh, he hurt him. He hurt him. He hurt him.
He did hurt him. And he break his nose.
The bridge. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's trying to fix it.
Yeah, Sean's trying to fix his nose.
It looks like he's trying to straighten it out.
Damn it. Yeah, that sucks.
His nose is broken.
Smells it too. He must have felt it too. Maybe when he punched him.
What did he just hit him with that?
I don't know, man, but all of a sudden it's getting weird. Look at that nose.
That nose is a mess.
That's not good. He got.
It's like it's painted red. Oh, who knows what the he felt if he.
Oh, my God, he's leaking. This is a big round for the champ. Oh, right hand. Another one. Oh, man.
They say damage doesn't.
Dris is such a bulldog. Dude.
Dr. Is smelling blood now, but you got to be careful.
He can't breathe. Broken nose, this.
That's. It's a rough game.
Strickland's defense, so good.
Still good. Still good.
Duplicity is just wild.
Yeah, you can't touch that nose.
Reckless.
I mean, he sees him with this nose like this.
Little tired. Little tired. Come on.
Look at this style. But the thing is, he never stops coming at you like this. Even though he's dog tired. He's so game.
Oh, man, this is a nail biter with this.
It's like he has these patterns that he sets up with.
Man.
Big Breath by ddp.
Well, Sean's nose is destroyed. Yeah, if he touches him there one more time, it's. Oh, nice right hand by Sean.
Yeah, Sean, since he busted his nose, is doing way better. He kind of said it. Now he's sitting more in the pocket.
Well, he's got a. Oh, he tagged him again. He's got a Real life he's got to worry about. He's in trouble. I mean, he's down. This is like four rounds.
Yep.
Wow.
More significant damage done too.
It's like that Rory McDonald knows that time couldn't see.
Oh, the Roy went.
Robbie Lawler.
He was never really the same after that.
Never, Never.
Oh, right hand. Right hand by Trickus. That was a big one.
Can't breathe.
This.
It must be like just.
These aren't.
This knife.
Right hand.
Doesn't feel like fight ending punches, though. Woo.
Dris is so wild. Look at this just exploding, man. The guy's got such cardio for a guy who explodes like this. It's so impressive that he can hold up this pace deep into the fourth because he always looks like he's in the, like the brink of slowing down. It never happens. Oh, my goodness.
And dude, 40 more seconds of this.
Oh, right hand.
He's rolling with it. But still.
God dress is just swinging for the fences with every punch. I feel like ever since Drake has.
Heard his nose, he's getting a little sloppy. He's trying to zero in. Wow.
He just can't get hit there again, you know? I mean, it's destroyed and he really hasn't been able to hurt him. He hasn't done one thing that really rocked him.
There's nothing significant by Strickland like you.
Have to that even if he does the windmill on the next round, he's got to do something, man. He's got to throw some.
Stop him.
He's down four rounds.
He's got to stop four rounds. Look at his nose. Oh, my God. Look at his nose, dude. It's shattered.
That's what he tried to do. You saw him trying to push it back into place.
Oh, my God. It's shattered.
That's. That's rough, man. Dude.
All right, hey, listen, you need to finish. You already know that, right?
You need to intercept his combinations.
You can't just stand there and take him off.
You got to intercept this combination.
It's got to be an elbow.
Oh, Jesus Christ. You got to get this going right now. Oh, look at that. Oh, my goodness. It's crazy. They had to touch it. That's crazy.
I thought he said he reset it.
Yeah, he goes. I said it.
I said it.
Yeah, but that's how crazy that punch was.
Gotta take chances. Push that, push that. All or nothing. Go out on your shield. That's. That's the only thing you could tell him.
Listen, I know there's a £220 South African world Class fighter. Take chances. Get crazy.
Yeah, get crazy.
Good luck. Oh, hey, before you go out there, you got a broken nose. Have fun.
He reset it. He's probably had his nose broken in many fights.
Oh, yeah. But spar.
He keeps touching it though, which is not good. It might be like moving around. He might feel. Feel the bones moving around.
Oh, man, I'm dp.
I'm shooting some takedowns here.
That's exhausting too. And he can't hold him down. So.
So, yeah, true.
You know, he might say it. Yeah, this is working.
Sean's got to really hit the gas. He's got to really.
Everything out here just.
Yeah, he's got to push, throw.
Even if they're wide punches, just throw.
But he's so responsible defensively. It's hard for him to just enter when he knows he's open.
I know the fan base going to hate on DDP because they say it's not exciting. Dude, he's dominated.
Oh, this is exciting.
As it's been a one time outside show.
This is exciting as the fans that don't like this are not fans. They're just people want blood.
Technical.
Yeah, it's a good fight, man. It's like his strategy is so smart. He chops at the legs constantly.
He constantly does off balance switch kick.
To the body and then to the head. He's landed the bigger shots for sure. There's another one. Bigger shots.
Press the action.
Yeah. And he's not letting Sean set up. Like Sean always wants to move forward and set up and he's just constantly chop at the leg.
Do. Do we switch cage side? Because I'm sure he'd jump in the ring because that's next for sure.
Yeah, next. Yeah, that's next. Another spin. Two spins in a row.
I'm really excited.
Oh, the comsat. That'd be wild, man. He's not changing the way he fights.
No. And I mean, Kendrick, stop that takedown.
Around the third, fourth, fifth round. Right, cuz this guy so compelling.
This guy's so game. I mean, he's always there in the fight.
I was impressed with Whitaker keeping his calm until he got his face crushed. I'm like, look, he's keeping his calm.
Then he has whole teeth broken.
Yeah, it's rough, man.
Apparently he had a weak jaw anyway, like that area. He broke his.
I guess.
No, I thought it was an injury up. Oh, really? Yeah, it was born.
Yeah, he's born something with his two. His bottom teeth.
So he's had a few of them replaced before. Hopefully they did a good job this time. A new grill now screwed him in deep. All right, Sean does not have much here.
He's not showing anything that could end the fight.
I mean, he's really got to open up, but he doesn't want to get.
KO Stuff with that broken nose.
Yeah, I mean, this is how he fights, right? He fights responsible. He's not going to, like, go reckless.
No, it's just not in his.
No, his whole DNA. Oh, he tried for a guillotine.
Imagine he got a guillotine there.
That'd be hilarious. His DNA.
Sean's got an underrated ground game.
Is he a black? I don't think he's a black.
He's a black belt. Yes. Yes, he is.
From who?
I don't know.
Man. It's just. This is way it's gonna go, though.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, you got to realize you're not.
Also, it's like, this is the last round. 2:15 to go. And this has been most of the fight. Like this.
That's it. Just make a decision. Just throw.
Yeah. And you can't wait because you want to try to take this guy out. Like, you got to get this. Go. But the thing is, like, it's easier. Like, he just hit him again on that nose.
I know. And he's feeling it, man. Yeah, it's got to suck.
Oh, it sucks. Look, you hit it again. It's poor in blood, and now he's only breathing out of his mouth, so he's got his mouth open.
It affects your. Your cardio like a. Oh.
Took that kick to the body. That was a hard kick. Dreckus is just on him, man.
Yeah, well.
Crazy fight.
Yep.
Kick to the body again, and then as soon as Strong wants to get something. Going out of range. Reset. Set.
Now it's like you're already, like, up, so you might as well just. Just throw.
Yeah.
Yeah, but it's like, it's so hard for him to just open up and put himself in danger.
Not in his nature.
And he's got a up nose.
Yeah. Listen, it's always easier when I sit and I get it, but, no, it's.
Way easier when you're fighting.
Yeah, you're wrong.
Oh, head.
You got a minute left, though, to make something happen. You got. Yeah, you got. You know, like, if.
If this was flipped and you tell ddp, hey, you got to get him out of there. He's coming out like a South African great white, you know?
Yeah.
Because that's in his nature.
Got. You got to throw Caution to the wind now, man. Against your nature. Or not.
40 seconds. Oh, another kick to the.
Just outclass Strickland.
I mean, Strickland needs something real big. 30 seconds to go, dude.
This fight's over. Less Francis.
Oh, right hand. Nice.
Unless he tags in Francis and God.
Oh, job.
Ten seconds left.
Even then, Even then.
Oh, no. Francis.
I would have loved to have seen Alex at middleweight against ddp. That would have been interesting.
Alex. And so he's gonna fight homs out. Then you get Alex at 205 and then DDP. DDP's not become a superstar off this fight, but he beats Ham. That now we're cooking with gas. That was an ass weapon. Tactical ass weapon.
I wonder if there's more to it. I wonder if there was something up with him.
Something. It didn't look like the normal Strickland, right?
Yeah, yeah.
But DDP fought real well, man.
Taking it away.
Strickland didn't have that gas he usually has.
Well, he might have had staff. Something might have had staff.
Yeah, we never know know, you know.
But you're wrong at that one.
I was wrong on that one.
Rough night for America.
The smart money was on DP, but I have to go with strong.
Is it KOT vs JIS next?
Yeah.
Cuz even in the press conference DDP goes. I. I wish I was fighting Hams out this weekend, but this would do.
Did we ever see him fight a. A really good grappler? No, not Kar.
Oh, no, no. We haven't seen DDP fight anybody that level. But Hamza is the highest level level in the sport.
But even wrestlers, I don't remember seeing them. Who's he fought that's really looking to put him down. We never seen him off his back.
Boom. It was that big right hand that changed everything. There's a nice elbow, a spinning elbow. This one right here, that was the up one.
That was the game changer.
I mean, that look at his eyes.
That changed the whole fight.
Rolled his head back.
Strickland was never the same as that, bro.
Rough, man.
Such a smart strategy, Matt. There's that high kick to the face, but he's.
He's still very good at taking, you know, getting hit.
And he gave him a lot to look at there.
What are you saying?
He didn't take as much damage.
But look at his face.
Yeah, yeah, that one.
You mean Sean didn't take as much damage?
He took damage.
He got hit more in this fight than I think any fight. Any fight other than he's able.
He's still able to kind of like. It was one big watch that things up.
He got beat up like Brian. His nose is shattered.
He got beat up. Up. He got beat up.
One good shot to his face. Yeah, it's.
I'll tell you, Drake is. Looks great.
What kind of. What kind of. He's got a. That's a operation, right? I mean he's got to now get it. All set?
Yeah. Clear. Unanimous decision.
So they probably gave Strickland the fourth round.
Yeah.
Yep. Drake is too pussy, ladies and gentlemen.
He's a problem. A tough puzzle to figure out.
He's a tough puzzle. Very tough fight to figure out. Big for 185 too. That's a big.
I want to see that fight though.
Man, that he did a great job of setting up, throwing that low kick. Switch kick to the body. Kept that pace up for the entire fight.
5.
Crank that up. I'm going to hear what he says.
I hope you guys enjoyed it. I had to be a bit smarter about it. Thank you, Sydney, for showing me love.
I know you guys booed me, but to hear this at the end of.
A five piece, absolute. Sean is an absolute animal.
He's deserving of all life.
Thank you, Sydney. You are incredible.
Nice guy, this guy.
Classic. He's a classy class act.
Yeah. Allowed for you to win the fight. You said you would not force a takedown. You got won this fight. You won this fight.
Striking.
Did you know that you'd be able.
To do that being that Sean Striple.
In such talent strike?
Yeah, that was my game plan. I said when he made the fact about talent striking, I knew that there's.
A chance he's going to try and wrestle me.
But obviously the man doesn't defend the warfare.
He was just straight about it. He wants to stand and back. And I was willing to give that.
I tried to force him to make it a wrestling fight and then I can engage.
I got that takedown. I didn't plan it, but it was there. I took it. And since I made the Achilles quote of making facts.
I said there are no facts.
Between lions and men, this is another one of Achilles. And since he's standing across the Ex the Octagon.
Is there no one else?
Is there no one else talking to Hamzat?
You're talking to Alex Pereira.
Oh, wow.
Ooh.
That's going to be a different game.
Oh, yeah. That's a night night when you get touched game.
Yeah, it's a very different game.
Yeah.
See, he's using the wrestling then.
Yeah.
I Mean, I'm probably going to get tased for that one.
My coach but, you know, probably get tased said this coach tases them. They tase them. They tase them and true. When they do something wrong, they tase them. Really? Oh, yeah. His coach has one of those police things. Yeah.
To get arrested in America.
Sucks.
Just said, I'll probably get tased.
That fight wasn't close, fellas.
Nope. He keeps getting better.
He's got his endurance. He can't even stop talking. Look at this guy.
I want to see what Sean has to say.
Me too.
I hope he doesn't bring up the staff. You can't. Right.
Too soon.
I hate when fighters.
That's when they say too soon.
Yeah. Talk about that tomorrow maybe. Maybe DC asks him. I would definitely ask him, was that staff? Were you on antibiotics? That would have been probably my first questions.
If you ask it, it's fine.
If he's like, yeah, I would have said, was there anything surprising?
I deal with staff, but that's not the reason I lost. All my credit to ddp.
Right.
Let the f talk.
But is that staff? Obviously the fight didn't go you in.
Was there anything that was surprising about.
Dracus in this rematch that you didn't experience in fight number one?
I'll make this quick. Let me take this for a sec.
Hey, I love you guys.
Man, I broke. When that broke my nose, I was.
Like, oh, that doesn't feel right.
Popped it back in place. I kept buying it for you. The Dutch man is a bad. He kicked my ass fair and swear drops ahead. Take your biker from D.C. i'm leaving. But hey, you guys, I love you guys. You fueled me and I would break my nose for you any day of the week.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, it's a good night, fellas.
Good night. It's a good night.
I had a good time.
Well, let's start. We. You giving a teaching a jiu Jitsu class now or are we going to wait a little bit?
I just showed it.
I need to stretch a little bit.
Oh, Brian.
All right.
Oh, man. Good times.
That was good times. Thanks for having me Down. Little down. The. Sean got beat up. Everybody here was kind of.
I thought it'd be more competitive.
Very important. Impressive.
He. He. He's not gonna beat that guy.
Jimmy Norton beat me in the pics a little.
Did he?
I think he picked both, but now it's crazy.
It's like I thought Robert Whitaker was going to give him problems with that style. I really did. I thought Robert Whitaker with his leaping in style and he's like very light on his feet. Fast as I thought he was going to give him problems and DDP shut that down and then him up caught him with that right hook.
See, I, I would give DDP the, the advantage of a hunter Hamza right now it's hard to say.
We don't know what happens.
Question marks. We don't know.
Hamza just shoots from like 15ft away and gets a hold of your legs.
He didn't do that to Kamaru Usman, didn't do it to Gilbert Burns. We go in the third, fourth and fifth.
He gave Usman for the first three rounds a nightmare.
He was.
Yeah.
But he couldn't finish him. That's an older Usman.
That's true.
That's not a vintage who was in their prime.
He was taking down decisively.
Who was Hamzat supposed to fight? That was a last minute replacement was Usman.
And they put in.
That's right.
And then they put in Kevin Holland.
That would have been hard.
UFC was like, we're getting backlash. We're getting some backlash here. Let's Kevin you down.
He's like, I guess that would have been crazy.
Styles make fights and you never seen Drake is fight a good wrestler and comes out as one of the best.
And you got to think his endurance is probably going to be better at 85 than it was at 70 because of the cut. Yeah. For Hamza it's like 85 is really where he should have been all along.
But again he gassed out against Usman. That was 85.
Usman's a world champion. You know, in the third round, Usman did what a world champion does. He rallied. And then Usman's dangerous standing up the world champion and he's bigger.
Yeah, look at Gilbert too. Gilbert. Gilbert weathered the storm and then he gave him hell.
Dana White confirms Hamza was next. Yeah, before the fight.
Before the fight.
I wonder where that is.
That's got Vegas, right Hom no, that's going to be in Saudi Vegas.
You think so? I think he's got a UAE passport now. I think maybe America.
Yeah.
Yeah. I think he gets to America now. I mean it's not like, like Shar a bullet probably never going to fight in America. Can't let a one eyed. Apparently the UAE is having a problem. Problem with it too.
Yeah.
United Arab Emirates.
Yeah.
Like when he fights in Abu Dhabi, they're like, hey, you only got one eye. It's kind of crazy.
But they still let him do it.
They let him do it in Saudi Arabia, you know.
Yeah, true.
He's the captain now.
Yeah.
I'm very curious about that.
Comes out fight.
What if I think him puzzle MVP.
Is what a puzzle.
Yeah.
I mean just couldn't do nothing to him. But even on the feed in Gary was getting lit up too.
Yeah. In Gary just had to wrestle.
He just had a wrestle.
Gary impressed me even with his loss with Shopkot.
Oh yeah.
He was the closest to ending it.
Great. Yeah.
And he's well rounded.
Great fight.
Oh, you can get to be a champion. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. He is champion.
And you need a fight like that. Super close fight. I mean, you know the biggest disappointment this year the Arman Suki and pulling out the day of the fight.
That do we what the happened there.
Back se weight cut. I mean you gotta think how much.
I think wake up.
How much is that guy cutting to get to 55 and how juicy was.
I'm saying he's on PD. I'm saying juicy like how much muscle.
He puts A lot.
And then he cut all that weight.
57 though, right? It's really short.
He's probably 5, 8 and he probably walks around 190 jacked. I mean he's thick. You see him off season. He's thick.
You're not and you're not getting that fight. Dan's like he's back in the line now. There's no way that's kind of issue.
You think it's a weight issue?
Yeah, I think that he's said something is a way of doing it.
Like I think number one lightweight arm on super great. And Michael Chandler are negotiations for a fight at Miami.
Oh, it's a tough fight.
He resumed Training is nearly 100 after back injury forced him out of the fight. I think it's just the weight. I think you cut that much weight, your muscles just cramped the up and he. He couldn't move.
That's what was happening. Could be. Remember he missed a lot. Tony Ferguson kept getting up with his kidneys and all the weight cut.
Just think about how much weight that is. Is that you're draining out of your body. Like Sarukian's probably getting at least 25 jugs of water out of his body. 25, 1 pound jugs of water.
He's not a big guy.
Yeah. Think about like a 16 ounce, like Pepsi. He's getting 25 of those out of his muscles. That's crazy. I think he's got to be 180. He looks big, man. He's so. And do you see how mobile that guy. Guy is when he's doing all his different, like, mobility exercises? I don't think so. I think it's all the way.
I think it's that issue.
Yeah.
155 was hard for me to get to too. It was, isn't it?
The worst part of the sport is the. The weight cut that they do that 24 hours before a cage fight. It's so crazy.
Oh, man. Well, now this guy's at 170 that are like 6 foot 5. I would have been really up to date. They would have been holding my head. I would never.
Who's that guy that Joaquin Buckley beat? He had to take him down. He was. He was beating him up on top. A big tall dude who was huge. Yeah. It was a dangerous fight for Joaquin at once. These guys. Big for 170, like real tall.
Super tall. It looked awkward.
Yeah, tall and long.
I didn't know they had a mouth.
That guy was boya.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
That guy's good, dude. I'm telling you, Buckley at one six foot five. Six foot five, 170.
No, I. I had the belt at that weight. What would that look?
Buckley's probably 5, 10. That's crazy. Isn't that crazy, man?
What are you doing good? 85.
You flip it around. It's my big head.
Buckley did a amazing job in that fight. How did he lose that fight? Was it a decision or did he.
Do you know?
Yeah.
Do you ever know?
Decision unanimous.
Find out why Zabit just stopped fighting. He was so good.
Yeah.
I don't know, man. He was so, so good.
God, he was good.
He looked like a world champion and.
But he became a doctor or something, right? Maybe he decided it.
I think he did become a doctor. Is he a doctor?
Is he a nurse? He's like a gaylord.
Hey, I think he's a doctor.
I think he's a nurse. He said nurse have to go through some real doctor.
Did he fight at 45? He was like 6:2 or something.
Yeah, yeah, he was tall.
As Henry said, he's the best fight he's ever seen.
Yeah, he said he's a 100 world training.
He was like.
He's wild.
He had. He had a good sparring with, with. With Henzo, with Aljo, at Longos.
Really? Yeah.
And he throws wild, man.
He was. He was. He was all. That guy was good.
He had it all. Wrestling, striking. Everything, man.
Yeah, everything. Well, super technical.
Yeah, yeah.
No, he's Dr. Zabit.
Maybe he just decided this is not for me. It.
You know, a smart guy.
Yeah.
Other options.
Yeah.
I mean, how it end.
Also, if you're a doctor, you really know what's going on with your brain.
Correct.
And you keep sparring.
I kept thinking about that. The more we learned. I keep looking at that, and the more we learn. I'm just like five years from now when you have some kind of an AI mouthpiece and they're just able to correlate how much damage.
When is the comeback, Zabi? Oh, footage.
No, he just stays in shape.
Really? Are you sure?
Yeah.
Break silence with an impressive training clip. Let's see what his training clip looks like.
See?
Let's see. Oh, throwing a lot of kicks. It could just be just speed in shape, man.
Yeah, probably.
Who knows? I don't know. Maybe he's looks like he's training again.
He does.
Look at it, man. I hope he comes back, Dude. He was wild to watch. Yep, he was wild.
Did he ever lose?
Not in the ufc. I don't know if he had any defeats in his career.
Amazing.
Did Zaved have any defeats in his career?
Young phenomenal.
Look at Dean Thomas with the plaid shirt on.
Oh, dude. Every time you look, you see Dean Thomas everywhere.
He's always. He's got the sharpest clothes when he's at the ufc. Like, sometimes clothes like he loves.
He loves to be busy, that guy.
What is it?
Beat earlier in his career. Not the fc. Oh, early in his career, but he.
Kind of went out on top.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, who knows?
He might not.
His might not stop.
Yeah. He's supposed to be. It was him and Tatya SW 2019.
Was his last fight. That's crazy. That's six years ago.
Long time ago.
That's six years ago.
He's not coming back. If he did, it wouldn't be good.
Yeah. At what point in time do you say Connor's never coming back? Is it now? Right now? Yeah.
You see him like, wow, dude, he's.
Got more money than God. I. He loves the attention. Attention. So, I mean, but are you gonna go through a camp and go fight in the cage just for attention?
What's going on with that left leg?
Oh, Chris fought again.
He did? Yeah, he did.
I mean, his career too.
Late in his career.
I don't think anybody's ever come back from that injury.
He looks healthy, though. I mean, kind of. I mean, he looks healthy. He just looks like he's out of his.
I'm just saying that that injury is really.
It's the worst.
It's the worst he's ever come back and been the same.
I think Connor would fight if he wasn't getting the attention from BKFC and doing all that wild if I went away.
There's a PFL heavyweight that snapped his and came back and fought well, I think. But he did it when he was younger.
Yeah, I seen that before. It was an mma. I seen it in kickboxing. It always just made me like, oh.
You ever see Go Kon Saki and Tyrone spong that one? Whoa.
I'm gonna say yes because you want to show it.
No, no, no. Tylon Sponge just hit him right below the knee and it just snapped like a twig. Just like Chris. Dude, that's just like Anderson.
I remember Longo telling me, he goes.
Oh, look at Sean's nose. Oh my goodness.
Longo was telling me that he was. Chris was killing the pads that day in the back before they went out. He's like. He was legs. He's a hard kick, Chris.
Yeah.
Well, the sound, my friend was at LAX and a woman with her husband. Husband stepped off and a giant. My truck, one of those black Uber Escalade ran over her foot. Right now watch. It got. She. She was a little heavy, so it hit her and she went like that and it got her. So my buddy, strong guy picked her up and he goes, brian. I go. And he goes, her foot came off. I go, what? He goes, her foot came off. I go, what are you talking about? So she fainted and his arms and her foot was there. So he picked her foot up.
Oh my God. Ripped off.
And he said, he put it in her lap.
He goes.
He goes, you're gonna be okay. You're gonna be talking to the whole time. The guy turned out to be really wealthy and my friend thought he's. They took him to the hospital and all that and I guess they saved her foot. Apparently they sewed it back on, I guess.
Oh my God.
Cuz he kept in touch with him and he said her foot, they. I guess they can't be normal.
What happened to that guy?
Came off.
What about the nerves?
Lorena Bob, she didn't use her foot a lot. What happened to that?
That guy started doing porn.
I heard Frankenweenie or something. Right.
But that is the craziest thing. Imagine that usually would be hanging off. He goes, her foot fell off. Was off. She had. She had a long dress on.
I guess she was a big girl.
Yeah, but her foot came off.
Oh my God.
It was under. It was like it was on the grass.
Hold on.
Is Dean Thomas wearing makeup? No, they just had a close up.
A little bit on.
You look at Gilbert.
Yeah, he looks like, yeah, it is Gilbert. They always force you to wear that makeup. I don't wear. They always try to get me with them.
They don't want you to be oily. That's why. So what I know.
To me it was always so offensive to wear makeup while dudes whole faces are hanging off.
Yeah, that's wild.
You know, imagine. Imagine if you're stepping in there and Irany Aldana. Remember that fight went in the sphere where it was like a hatchet wound. Imagine if I had makeup on and I was interviewing you and her.
Yeah, you want to touch me? That was the.
Touch me up before.
She looked. I've never seen a head like that.
Irene Aldana.
No, you're thinking, I've never seen crazy. I felt bad. She was trying to cover it with a towel and stuff. She was like, no, you look fine.
She's such a great. In her prime. She was a monster.
Oh my God, she was a monster.
That division, man, that 115 pound women's division, whoo. There's some banger fights in that division. Division. Maybe the best division in the sport for women.
Yeah.
You know, in terms of like wild fights, not a lot. Not much competes with that.
That's what made you bring a feeling Davis, by the way. You just watched that the other day.
Yeah, well, my friend Jake was talking to me about it and then I watched it. He said, dude, she just ran over Mackenzie Durham. Was like, really, like that's impressive. And then I watched it last night on YouTube's Good.
I had it done. She did a seminar at my place too.
How about that hit Hip toss too.
Oh, it was beautiful.
Oh my God. She has judo background, right?
She started. Yeah, background too. But yeah, and she's, you know, I think Mackenzie's so good in jiu jitsu that she thinks. She could not thinks, but she's good at squirming out of stuff and everything. But yeah, she had that. She locked her up tight and that.
Top pressure was nasty. Oh, so technical, so good.
She's got a very good jiu jitsu back.
Yeah, it's like jiu jitsu like as just a sport as, as you know, like you look at the highest of highest level guys right now. It's so exciting. And. And now that like cgi, like Craig Jones Invitational is giving out a million bucks. Oh my God, they're so good. That's One thing I really like about one fc, you know, they had all those just straight up grappling matches. Like Mikey. Remember Mikey match.
He tapped.
That dude's ripped that dude's knee apart. He wouldn't tap. Remember that dude? He just kept ripping it apart and you know, his knee's gone. It's gone, gone. And he won't tap, and it's just rip, crack, pop. And Mikey was like. It was disgusting. Like, why'd you make me do that to you?
Now, Mikey signed with the ufc, right?
Yep.
Not for fighting for. No, for.
Just for Fight pass. Those fight pass invitationals, which is great that they're doing that. It's great.
His guard is the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Mikey's. I've never seen it, like, so funny, man. There's so many tournaments now more than ever, but I still enjoy watching it use. Used in MMA more than anything. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I mean, that Damian Meyer versus Ben Askren fight.
Oh, my God.
Jake Shields versus David.
You know, one of the biggest travesties of all time.
What's that?
When they took Damian Maia off of Carl usman's back.
Oh, 100.
100.
Oh, that. That arm was just stopping him from taking a full. And you can't hold that forever.
You can't hold that.
Separated that. Think about that.
It was infuriating.
He could have been a champion.
Had Kamaru Usman. He had that left hook over the top early on the fight. Dry, and he's basically taking his back. And Kamaru's in deep water. And Kamaru's only loss up until that point was his first fight, Rear Naked Choke.
And it was climbing the round and everything.
And it's Damien Maya.
Yeah.
Who's like one of the greatest stranglers of all time.
Your back is gonna happen.
He was one of the greatest stranglers of all time. I mean, just phenomenal Jiu jitsu.
His fight versus Ben Askren was fun because it was both. It was almost like a throwback where one guy's using more because standing up, they both kind of nullif. They both didn't do too much. But one guy's using Ashikrami sweeps, Uma Plata reversals, pure Jiu jitsu. And then you got Ben Askren using all his. He's doing the big takedowns. So it was. It was just such a style versus style type fight, you know? You know, great.
It gives you an appreciation for how good Gordon Ryan is. Like, all these amazing guys.
So, like, what are the big fights that are coming up next? Like, what do we got, Alex? So we don't know what's going to happen at lightweight now. I hope, as crazy as it sounds, I hope Ilia goes up to 55. I really do. Volkanovsky, Diego Lopez, 45.
I'll take that.
Ilia goes up to 55. I don't care if he only defended the title one time or Horn didn't agree. Who cares?
You want Eli to fight Makachev?
Let's go, let's go.
Face a couple of those guys first, like you just said.
Yeah, it'd be nice, but also, who cares? Let's go, let's go. That's if you want to make the big fight for July. You want to make that big fight in July. Is it the Volkanovsky rematch? I don't know. I think Volkanovsky's people want to probably see him win one where he gets KO'd by Islam in the first fight, he gets KO'd by Islam in THE second fight. Fight.
Yeah, I don't see him fight to appear.
You want to see him. You want to see him fight. You know, well, he gets. Excuse me. He gets beaten by Islam in the first fight, he gets KO'd in the second fight, and then it gets KO by Ilya. So two KO losses in a row, one decision kind of is. Even though he's a legend, you kind of want to see him beat a contender, maybe. And I mean, I wouldn't hate a rematch. No, I wouldn't hate a rematch.
It's like must see tv. No one's asking for it.
It's one of those ones where I Hope Alex is 100% and I want to see it. But he shouldn't have fought him back quickly after getting Caleb by Islam.
Terrible idea.
Three months, four months later, took a shot and so he took a shot.
So if you want to do a big July card, you would do. You could do that. Makachev Hamzat vs. Dr. DDP Jon Jones, and.
That'D be the greatest card of all time. You imagine Dris do two guys go up, Dris goes up, Ilia goes up. Dris vs but then again, look, ankle. I was tough, man.
Tough.
That ain't a givy. That ain't a gimme. That's a tough fight.
Super tough.
I mean, Uncle Life's wrestling is going to be a problem for Alex, but here's.
He's not really a wrestler.
He's not really a wrestler. He's more of a striker and he Said he's going to knock him out standing, he says, until he feels that. Oh, look at that. That 110, 110 even fight. Dan Hooker. Justin Gate. He's gonna be wild.
That is gonna be.
Oh, what is this? What days is March.
Yeah. Yes.
March. Let me see what else is on that card. Oh, my good. Mauricio. Rufy and King Green, bro. Rufy's nasty. That guy's good.
Luffy is nasty.
He's good, man. That's a great fight. That's a great fight. Fight. Nice. I like it.
That's another one that just falls short. Is that Alex Moreno?
It's good.
He's good. Sometimes he gets a couple stumbles, but another guy that's. He reminds me of Matthews a little bit where he's got the really good stand up and he. And he's got. I like his jiu jitsu a lot too.
Some good fight nights. Canier and Rodriguez. That's a good fight. Oh, my God, bro. Cejudo and Sonya Dong is a tough fight for Cejudo. Songa Dong is dangerous, man. That guy's good. When is that? He was. But he can't. He wants to come back.
He can't.
That juice. Oh, that is. That is real soon.
Brendan Allen.
Oh, that's a good.
Silva's nasty.
Cruz is out. He retired.
Yeah. Yeah. He ripped his shoulder apart.
Poor Curtis Blades.
Oh, that sucks with Dominic. He always had some problems with health. Is getting.
Barbosa's still fighting.
Still fighting.
Still fighting.
Yeah, man. He's still good, too. This is crazy. How about Ricky Simone's still in the heat. All right, let's wrap this up. Bring it home. Fun times. Matt, Sarah, thank you very much for joining us.
