and recording yeah oh and we are
0:12
back with another two stra hey guys what up Welcome to our bonus
0:19
section which is uh on a beautiful Sunday if you're not
0:27
cheapos like me how can you compel people to
0:33
join I was so cheap I didn't want to pay for a Pay-per-view on a Sunday morning
0:39
or on a Saturday morning so he ended up at a bar at 11:00 a.m. it was kind of
0:44
hard and we were done so early I'm like when am I going to do it the rest of my day it was really weird like and we
0:49
drank a lot too so I am a lightweight now too I I have
0:56
not been uh putting back the way I used to dude I was like what do we do now that we're Tipsy and it's 2
1:04
p.m. let's peruse a book fair and go to vintage stores and look for Halloween
1:10
costumes that we don't need yeah it it wasn't a productive midday but at least
1:16
we got to watch all the fights and we got to meet some really cool people at the bar we were at and they they bought
1:23
us our whole tab dude that was crazy so thank you to whoever did that if you
1:29
ever see thank you for that and make sure you're at True North next time so you could buy
1:34
our next and maybe have a drink with us yeah don't be so shy next time yeah no
1:41
it was really cool we met a lot of uh nice people at at the bar and it's it's one of those things where like I don't
1:47
always want to go out because I don't always feel social or friendly or
1:53
whatever but when I do feel like doing it it's really nice because when you
1:58
only see the f like especially fighting into Apex and stuff you don't get to see the fans um you
2:06
only avoid the ones online because those ones are almost always the worst the
2:12
worst the worst it's like even sometimes when they like you they're still the worst um but whenever you meet a fan in
2:19
person they're always so sweet they're so encouraging they're so positive and it makes you remember why you do what
2:25
you do so it's always awesome seeing people in public when I have the energy to be in public like so yeah it's a
2:32
rarity for me it's it's it's a fun it's a fun thing to jump on I'm like it's
2:38
early it's sunny outside I'm feeling
2:44
okay it's perfect perfect conditions social interaction yes let's go out into
2:51
the world and meet the people um but yeah it was fun and uh you know there
2:57
were a lot of good fights on this hard but there were a couple that just
3:03
weren't fun they were kind of sad and I felt I felt bad for both involved and
3:09
that's the uh Dosa angos fight and the Chris Barnett fight both of them they
3:14
were fighting like I feel bad for their opponents too because you could tell
3:19
that they were ready for a good fight they looked good they looked sharp and then the fight ends and kind of with
3:26
kind of an well don't feel too bad because they got their WI bonus they did
3:32
they did they they got in and out of there fast and they got paid for it but they didn't get their performance
3:38
bonuses because it was the ligaments that took them out not their actual
3:44
attacks Fair Point yeah uh so Jeff nil he fought rapael dos anos on his 40th
3:52
birthday for RDA no and yeah why I know
3:58
he was looking for a cele a and now he's probably going to have surgery I mean that's always kind of rough to do
4:05
something on a big day like that like the that's not my favorite thing to do if he was turning
4:11
37 it wouldn't have been as big of a deal but the big 40 man you're going to
4:17
fight on the big 40 and then your ligament gives out you blow your knee
4:22
out oh what the only thing worse than that is like breaking your hip on the
4:27
way into the cave age like some real old person [ __ ] you know like oh I'm falling
4:34
and I can't get up like that sucks or you know waking up and pulling your back out you know just stuff like that yeah
4:41
turning your head too hard and then getting Whiplash and not being able to
4:47
not being able to move your head for the rest of the fight cross leg and you know
4:52
now you're out KNE out yeah exactly that yeah we have to stretch after every
4:58
segment that we R guys it's rough and we can old slander cuz we're there we're
5:04
there we know the fills so I'm sorry RDA that that happened to you but uh man I
5:10
felt I felt horrible for both of them because Jeff nil he looked great uh dos anos he looked ready to do his dos anos
5:18
thing he he really does seem like uh time doesn't really affect him as much
5:25
until tonight yeah and so it seemed like uh he kind of he either stepped back or
5:30
something weird happened after after he got hit and he just fell immediately
5:35
almost like he was like trying to pull guard or something and then he's holding his leg and it was just really hard to
5:41
watch yeah it I mean it was you know most likely it's it's not due to just being old and in the cage it's it's h
5:48
one of those things it was probably a pre existing you know injury that he had been nursing for a while and it was
5:54
probably on its way out and it just uh met that that perfect opportunity to to
5:59
say to say no more yeah when when you're in fight Camp especially uh you're
6:05
always trying to just make it to the fight like make it to that finish line
6:11
so you can get your paycheck so you can hopefully turn turn the engines on once
6:16
the fight starts and the adrenaline usually takes care of whatever aches or
6:22
pains or illnesses you had on the way in Adrenaline like just like nope
6:27
adrenaline's just like a cortisone shot basically just like it kind of numbs you it takes it away yeah everyone always asks like
6:34
man who hit the hardest that you've ever fought and it's like I mean I can't tell you because I didn't feel anything
6:41
because I was a monster at that point like I was just an animal attacking and not really registering what hurt and
6:48
what didn't hurt um but yeah like when something serious like that happens like
6:54
a a sprain or like a a a ligament like rupturing on you then you definitely
7:01
feel that through all of that so that sucks but then uh Chris Barnett was even
7:06
worse he was fighting um he did the Ortega yeah he was fighting uh
7:15
chuku in you your guess is better than mine oh
7:22
you usually are on top of it Kennedy inuu uh he was fighting him and he did
7:29
did the jump he did the jump that we've we've talked about the jump before
7:34
Jessica your theory is that there's a certain body type that can do the jump is Chris and there's a certain one
7:41
that cannot is Chris that body type well we just saw Chris is that body type that should not I hope he never does it again
7:47
and it sucks because he's he's had a rough one he was supposed to fight um a couple weeks ago and the hurricane in
7:55
Florida ended up taking out of the fight because he couldn't leave the state dang and then um I think he's had a couple
8:01
more uh fight cancellations too yeah and then his wife dying too that that was
8:08
one that took him out for for another year and to see him back and and so
8:14
happy to be like weighing in and on the scale and then doing his signature walk out and everything I was so excited to
8:21
see him you know I didn't care what happened in the fight I just wanted him to go out there and have a classic
8:28
Barnett Performance and he tried so hard to make it work even after the jump
8:35
and the injury um it looked like everything that he did after that made
8:41
the injury worse too yeah like I I I was heartbroken for him and uh you know he's
8:48
a big boy I think um like you were saying just trying to make it to the
8:54
Finish Line can put so much stress on something that it's already going to be
9:00
a problem and then you get in there and you're just filling yourself and the drilling's going and then he does the
9:06
jump and it's just like that was the last straw that broke his knee you know
9:12
that last little bit and just pushed him over the edge and yeah he couldn't make it back and then um on uh Kennedy's side
9:19
he was doing a really good job of just keeping Barnett from getting close to him uh stab kicking him to keep him away
9:27
it looked like the body shots were Hur in more than the knee for a second yeah he was doing a great job of just keeping
9:33
him at the end of his strikes yeah yeah so I felt horrible for Barnett there cuz
9:39
it really like if you can't push off of that foot if you can't close the distance what can you do he still threw
9:44
a beautiful will kick I don't knowwhere like I want he moves he moves in a way
9:50
that he really should not be able to move I know I love it I love it so much I hope he heals up and he's able to get
9:58
back in there um um you know I like Chris Barnett is always going to be the
10:03
guy to watch no matter what so hopefully he's able to recover and get back to a
10:08
good place where he's able to fight again but man it it was it was really heartbreaking to see those two guys go
10:14
out that like that hopefully you guys get a speedy
10:21
recovery or not too fast but heal up he but heal fully and
10:27
then they were saying the ACL thing was pretty recent too yeah so it's like
10:33
yeah take your time getting back in there a lot of those um a lot of times people get ACL surgeries and
10:41
they'll end up going back too soon and they'll retar them in their therapy we've seen that with our friend Dominic
10:48
Cruz we've seen it with um with Kat singano our other friend um I've seen it with Justin Kish like knees are are
10:54
nothing to to push you know you want to take your time and heal and make sure
11:00
that everything is completely um intact and um connected before you try and get
11:07
back in there yeah for sure um well on a lighter
11:16
note we had uh people continually asking Dana White
11:23
about the Adam weight division man I've been asking about that since the ultimate fighter 20 so for whatever
11:28
reason and this is a thing that everyone wants to know about now like everyone's like Dana Dana what are you talking
11:34
about with the Adam weight division How likely is this tell us what's going on so the latest thing that he said was
11:41
that Mick Maynard Mick mck mayor says there's not
11:48
a deep enough talent pool to bring in an Adam we division right now that is such
11:53
BS especially you guys are going into Asia you know how many Adam weights live in Asia they're all there
12:00
in Asia all of them um and for them to to say that we could say the same thing
12:05
about the women's featherweight division we could say the same thing about honestly the bantamweight division it's
12:10
still it's still a lot of flyweights in there yeah you know it's um it's
12:17
something that I feel like is not a big enough reason to not do it it's just not
12:23
yeah like just do it what's the worst that can happen you get stuck with another flyweight division they're doing
12:29
all right there's a lot of fun matchups they're doing everyone loves to watch them I feel like I've been waiting my
12:35
whole career for there to be an Adam weight Division I mean if you look at the uh past episodes you confirm that
12:45
I've been talking about this for a long time it's a talking point that comes up
12:50
often but now it seems like it's coming up as often in Dana White's press conferences so hey maybe the fact that
12:58
people keep asking about this this might actually become a thing and uh you know our friend Corey McKenna She was
13:05
recently released from the UFC she's someone who definitely has the frame for an Adam weight division same with uh the
13:12
girl that we saw at uh Contender series at the contender series during your fight week uh she she won the fight but
13:20
she didn't get signed because Dana said she was undersized and I think that's when they first started talking about
13:25
bringing the Adam weight division into the UFC it was like there's a lot of undersized girls here I saw another girl
13:31
I don't remember if it was I think it was my Pino fight week there was another girl who fought on Contender series and
13:38
or fought at the end of the road to the UFC um I think she lost but she fought a
13:44
girl who was a bit bigger than her as a strawweight and she definitely seemed like another person who would fit really
13:51
well into the Adam weight uh division as well she was um uh I think Japanese
13:56
wrestler and there's a lot of Talent out there like there's a lot of talent in Invicta I think there would be more if
14:03
Invicta had more cards you would see how deep the pool really is um it's just
14:08
hard when there aren't a lot of avenues for you to work towards and when I was
14:14
getting ready to do MMA I was considering to just do it for fun not for an actual like uh for an
14:24
actual uh career choice I'm like I'll just I'm I'm already fighting moist for fun maybe I'll do an MMA fight one day
14:31
for fun but when the UFC announced that they were going to bring in women I'm like ah maybe maybe eventually they'll
14:38
bring in my weight class and then when they brought in 115 I'm like oh close enough all right let's try it out so
14:44
when you build it they'll come yeah like the talent will come they'll they'll come from uh from like the Olympic
14:52
Training Center they'll come from kickboxing they'll come from uh everywhere in order to compete I
15:00
my uh kind of special goal for when I become a coach now this is not this
15:07
doesn't have to do with the Adam weight division but if the featherweight division is still a big thing I feel
15:14
like you should get women from like WNBA like a lot of EX like pro
15:21
basketball players and I feel like that would be a easy transition for them because they're already big and athletic
15:28
and then you teach him how to kick and punch and Bam he gets you a whole slew
15:33
of like cuz I feel like there's more big women in NBA than there are big women in
15:41
wrestling so I feel like you can translate anyway I digress but that's my
15:47
big plan for the future coach coach a bunch of basketball players into being
15:53
MMA fighters but I think the talent pool is deep for Adam weights I think you have a lot of tiny girls that are
16:00
already martial artists they're good Grapplers good wrestlers and um I always say the smaller weight classes are the
16:06
most technical because they're the smallest ones in the gym yeah there's um
16:11
I I just think that them being so driven to you know build the pi in China and
16:18
them having the road to the UFC now which is like all an Asian uh country
16:24
tournament I just think that they will see how deep the talent pool in Adam weight really is yeah because they're
16:31
they're in the place for it MH so it's just a matter of time hopefully hating
16:37
hopefully hope quit hating Mick get behind it they're going to wait
16:43
for me to retire we don't need you stinking it
16:48
up um another uh funny thing that
16:53
happened this week everyone's been posting about it there's a video that went roll because it was a boxing match
17:02
there was boxing happening in the boxing match but then all of a sudden the boxer decided to throw a head kick he saw his
17:08
opening and he took it and he got a KO dude that was CRA he knocked him out flat I can't believe he did that but
17:15
that's the thing nobody can believe he did that and he's banned for life now as he should as he should
17:23
be but at least you got a Korean kickboxing but I got to ask you how
17:29
often did the thought go through your head when you're sparring boxers all the time I've shot a double
17:36
leg sparring boxers I'm not kidding you I'm not kidding you get out of here
17:42
oh wait that's not illegal oh wait I mean luckily she had a sense of humor she knows I'm an MMA fighter and she she
17:48
laughed it off but I'm not kidding you and so what but what I started doing was I just started like going like cutting
17:54
around the back you know anytime I saw an opening instead of doubling just go around the back they just make
18:01
it so easy for you it's right there I'm like nobody I Spar in MMA lets me double
18:07
leg them like this it's it feels good it feel good I just feel so powerful no one mu Tha lets me head kick him that easy
18:15
you know like it's there your hand is down your shoulder rolling like what what do you
18:22
expect you're wide open for it how how else are you going to learn yes I need to help you I'm being a good training
18:28
partner by showing where your holes are this is what's going to happen on the street where
18:33
fighting is the most important there's no referees this is how much I care about you yeah yeah so I I thought that
18:39
was hilarious and and I I feel like it must have been muscle memory like maybe
18:45
the guy got rocked earlier and because because muay thai fighters MMA fighters
18:51
they take boxing matches on the all the time I feel like maybe the guy got rocked earlier and he went into muscle
18:57
memory mode because the transition was kind of something that you would practice a lot
19:03
it was right out of the clinch was beautiful the referee didn't break them which usually happens in in boxing you
19:10
clinch and then the referee breaks you they clinched he turned them and then right as he turned he fired the head it
19:17
it was technically like M like no it was really nice you can't fault him for that
19:24
but I don't feel like he did it on purpose I think it was like a muscle memory I think he was on autopilot
19:30
muscle memory with a bit of Revenge sprinkled in there I'll show you
19:37
yeah it's like when you get someone to the ropes and you know you shouldn't push further or else they're going to
19:42
fall out of the ropes but you do it anyway there's a little bit of that and
19:48
then you just help them back in oh my bad pull their ankle reel him back in I don't know but
19:57
it's good that he banned from boxing because if that's your tendency to go into that who knows what else he's going
20:04
to do knee him in the face he won the fight via knockout that's not fair that
20:10
guy has never fought with shinpads on I'm sure I'm sure he's never been kicked
20:16
I'm sure he's never been kicked in the face those legs have done a lot of road work they are not conditioned for taking a kick no no it's ridiculous so sorry I
20:25
feel bad for the boxer I also feel bad for the head kicker but not that bad
20:31
because you should be fighting in a different sport anyway no more crossovers for you no
20:36
you're not allowed you can't be trusted no special rules like you're just street fighting from now on yeah oh
20:46
yeah well um Cerrone was trying to come back to MMA he retired a while back and
20:54
did a lot of steroids got hair transplant ooh that trt train yeah and
21:01
now he feels great of course feeling like a brand new man he feels like a young man
21:07
again 22y old um and now he wants to come back and I'm I'm not really a fan
21:14
of it you know I think a lot of people have seen uh what McGregor did you know he went off and did a movie did a bunch
21:21
of steroids and now he's coming back you know three weight classes above where he you know typically would fight and I'm
21:27
sure he feels great now you know they're talking about him fighting so why not
21:32
everybody else this is um this is a great loophole for Fighters maybe they could make Donald Cerrone fight Connor
21:39
McGregor and see whose steroids are the best see that would be a little bit
21:44
little bit more enticing you know what they should do they should just have a steroid Fight League steroid Fight League for everyone
21:52
who decides to officially retire from the regular fight
21:57
organizations and there's no testing pool You're just showing up you're fighting but you can never be allowed to
22:04
go back into the UFC to pfl to any organization that tests people yeah like
22:10
you just sign on a dotted line that I will never compete in these legitimate organizations again but I'mma do
22:17
steroids and I'm going to make money fighting people and Phil young even though I'm like 50 or
22:23
60 I think you're on to something it's basically Jake Paul's I it's basically
22:28
there so yeah there should just be A League of Their Own yeah just don't don't bounce around that's what I don't
22:35
like yeah I don't like the bouncing around if you need to feel good about yourself if you need to do this to feel
22:41
healthy and to feel young again feel like you're not [ __ ] and old which happens a lot faster for us athletes
22:48
because we put our body through so much damage and Trauma that it sometimes you
22:53
need a little something to to feel normal and you can't do it within the testing pool no no you got to go out and
23:01
heal with chemicals and science um
23:07
but science [ __ ] but if you just signed that you're never going to come back to a legitimate organization
23:14
and a attack natural athletes with your steroid abilities then I think that
23:21
would be fair and nobody mad Fighters retirement community I like it the Octagon is a
23:27
little bit sof there's a little more rubber on the
23:33
fence yes exactly there's a little bit more electicity yeah yeah I be into that I like it you
23:41
have longer Brakes in between rounds a little bit longer yeah give them a minute and a half two minutes yeah 90
23:47
seconds is enough for anyone to recover you can have all the tape and bandages you want yes knee pad knads you can wear
23:55
spats even o full bodysuit liking this I'm liking it head
24:03
gear oh man yeah I think I think we're on to something I think so in between
24:10
rounds you can like take a pop of an inhaler oh yeah you can you know drink carbs yeah that thing um that you use to
24:17
wake yourself up that uh what is the salts yeah you could like oh you do a
24:24
line all of it yeah just a quick all right
24:29
let's [ __ ] go oh I'm liking this I think we need to write this down this is great you know a lot of Fighters talk about coming back but I feel like if we
24:38
came out with this organization they would commit to coming back I think so like hey before you try to get back into
24:44
the testing pool why don't you uh look at what we have to
24:50
offer what do you say we know you'll be excited and
24:56
intrigued all right we're doing it we're doing it eventually we just need money so make sure you
25:02
join help us help us help you we won't need to spend it on uh on a drug test or
25:08
anything we just need to spend it to leverage the uh athletic commissions to
25:14
let us do it yes and you know they can be bought or we can just go on a reservation like they did back in back
25:21
in my day yeah let's do it lot of res fights yeah we're bringing back uh what is it uh the Cali cage War or whatever
25:29
what was the one that Al Lima fought on oh that was no explode explode yeah
25:34
we'll bring back explode yeah yeah no acl's exploding on our watch
25:42
because they've been injected oh man uh well another thing
25:49
that affects retired um MMA fighters is the antitrust lawsuit that thing finally
25:56
got settled settled the lawyers are going to get all of it they're going to
26:01
get so much money the lawyers that we're supposed to like you know be wanting to
26:09
get us the most money no they're getting all of it um what makes you feel like they probably could have tried to get
26:16
more money but they were like oh that's enough for us yeah we only got to split
26:21
this between like 20 people meanwhile the two 3,000 MMA fighters that have
26:28
split the rest of it are like not as much as I thought it'd be no it's not
26:33
it's not um you know it it is a win though I got to say it is a win for you
26:40
know the community but I don't know that it's going to do what people were hoping
26:46
it would yeah I think my biggest thing because I didn't think I would get much from this especially the time period I
26:53
think I had like maybe three or four fights that
26:58
uh were in the beginning of my UFC career so very little pay and uh I think
27:05
what I was hoping most for it was that all these retired Fighters that were at
27:11
the top of the headlines were at the top of the uh fight cards I mean making the most money we're going to be able to get
27:17
a little Kickback in the way that you know people always talk about oh NBA gets this percentage of profit NBA
27:24
players NFL players um all these guys get this percentage of profit and
27:30
meanwhile MMA fighters get a very small percentage and I was hoping that you know the retired Fighters would get a
27:36
kickback from that so that they could enjoy the retirement not have to
27:42
fight Jake Paul or yeah not have to come out of retirement and fight out some
27:48
roed out teenager unless they want to fight in our steroid League which would be perfectly logical and a great thing
27:55
to do yes call us please but uh I'm not sure how
28:02
everything's going to be divvied up because uh you know we talked to her or I talked to Brian about it I'm assuming
28:08
you did too me too and I'm I'm just hoping that everyone who falls in that category is going to try to collect the
28:15
money because there's a lot of money on the table yeah I just I hope that they have a little bit more order and ways to
28:24
get these people paid out because receiving all the emails it was a little it was a little vague you know oh you
28:31
got an email oh I've been getting emails dang I ain't get any emails since it's been um since it the case has been like
28:41
approved I haven't gotten any kind of correspondents and that's when yeah I think we're going to have to get lawyers
28:47
involved and just make sure the money gets to where it's supposed to go yeah so hey if you know an MMA
28:55
fighter that's not in the loop make sure you tell them to go get your money
29:01
because I I honestly feel like there's going to be a lot of money left on the table like you have Fighters involved
29:07
who have who have passed away you know and their families probably there's a good chance their families don't know
29:13
what's going on with the antitrust lawsuit uh you have fighters who were just out of the loop who wanted nothing
29:18
to do with UFC after they retired and you just have people who don't really pay attention to that kind of stuff like
29:24
active fighters who who fall into those categories so hopefully everyone's on top of it um it also seems like people
29:31
don't really ask about it in the press conferences because they don't want to get exed you're out of here understandable
29:38
go hang out with Ariel helani you can't show that you're excited about it
29:45
no act outraged just act like it doesn't exist like Francis andano act like act
29:53
like he was going off on Francis Nagano as well I know
29:59
how true do you think that is that they were going that they were offering him more money than what he's uh said that
30:06
he's gotten I think he must have meant that in the long run he would have been
30:13
paid out more staying in the UFC than being in an organization where people
30:18
aren't really paying attention yeah like that that's my take on it because Francis nanu he's still not as big of a
30:25
name as Jon Jones he's not as big of a name Conor McGregor but he's
30:32
Rich he can retire he's Rich he wasn't Rich before he left he need that trust money you know like he was he was
30:39
definitely getting to rich rich category but when it comes to like being a
30:45
multi-millionaire now he can say that and I don't think he could say that when he was in the UFC um but he definitely
30:51
would have gotten there eventually after a couple more fights after getting his pay-per-view points and everything um
30:58
the uh the UFC promotion engine is definitely a lot a lot better than the
31:06
pfl like I don't I've I've bought a couple of them but I wasn't happy about
31:12
it you know but it is good that there's competition you can't have a monopoly or
31:18
you don't want a monopoly as a fighter in the UFC because that means that
31:24
they're not going to be trying to be better or there's no incentive to try to
31:29
be better everyone's going to go to this one place to get their MMA and when you
31:35
have something like pfl you have something like 1fc you have all these other places where they're showing
31:41
fights as well and good fights and you have stars then that's just good for the overall MMA economy but
31:49
uh I don't know I feel like I feel like Francis is a lot richer because of the
31:55
decision he made he went he did boxing he did uh he boxed twice that's already
32:01
more money that he's ever seen in his career and then he went and won the
32:07
title fight in pfl so he's sitting pretty I don't think there's I don't I
32:14
don't think there's really an argument there I don't think he has any regrets of his decision no I played out well and
32:21
uh bottom of the line is Francis Zano is happy like he's happy he is he's d white
32:29
right now like he he is a fighter and he's Dana White in the pfl like who
32:35
would still want to answer to somebody even though they're rich I feel like that's why Connor hasn't been back he
32:42
doesn't want to answer to anybody so I think Francis andano did made the decision that made him happiest and you
32:50
know Dana doesn't like hearing about it because that does disrupt the system
32:55
when you're not able to control your fighter then it takes control away from the
33:02
company and Francis andano he broke the mold he did something that no one else has been able to do not even Connor
33:08
because Connor is still attached to the UFC brand and Fran andano isn't so I
33:14
feel like that's kind of the reason that I don't know that they that there's
33:21
a always going to be like kind of that sour taste in both of their mouths when they speak about each other and and uh
33:28
and honestly I think they're both happier not dealing with each other so
33:34
it's kind of like one of those Max holway isms it is what it is yeah but
33:39
one thing I I don't I I want to know the T with is how does Dana think that
33:46
Francis andano is a bad person did you hear that part no so what did he say he
33:53
went off he pulled one of his uh Stitch Duren like Stitch was never my friends
33:59
with Francis and Gano no he did Dana what happened you got to spill the beans
34:05
so basically he was saying that Francis andano wasn't a good person and people
34:13
vouched for Francis and that's why he didn't cut him before the Stipe miic
34:19
fight and then after he got beat up he was happy about it because Francis
34:26
showed his ass and saying and prove to him that he wasn't a good person he
34:32
didn't say what that was which makes it very hard to but like
34:37
just being in the same room with the guy seeing what he's done seeing his past seeing the charity that he son it's very
34:45
hard to believe that yeah well I mean especially coming
34:54
from the source a oh he's not all bad
34:59
he's always been good he's always been good to me
35:06
yeah that's your boss Angela Hill released from the USC Free Speech damn it you believe in
35:15
that but uh you know it's it's it's very hard to believe but I would love to hear
35:21
what actually went down and for whatever reason Dana isn't given the details as
35:26
to what exactly it was that made him not want to do business with him interesting
35:32
so I really want to know I want to know too yeah I feel like we can dig something up oh do it I feel like send a
35:40
text I feel like we could send a text aren't you in a group chat with two people that could probably give you some
35:46
tea too oh I mean I feel just say something funny get their attention I
35:52
know I know I'm on thin I cuz I'm I'm always a nuisance when I don't have a fight I got to I'll wait until I get a
35:58
fight announced buter get your fluffy tail out the way but I'll wait until I
36:04
get a fight booked and then they'll know when I'm bothering them is not just to get a fight booked ah all right that's
36:12
how I'll play it all right guys stay tuned we'll see what we can get I can't
36:17
wait oh well uh was there anything else you wanted to dive into no I think we're
36:24
good for right now oh we did have some fan questions but oh tell me I don't know I think we already hit them all
36:31
sometimes a fan question seep into my head and then I just talk about it with saying why
36:38
[Music] um which one is Mick Mike tobeck
36:47
fight what hold
36:52
on a lot of these names they'll uh autocorrect oh
36:58
orabi orabi yeah fighting okay somebody
37:03
said uh Fighters fighting for their own good your thoughts if the ref should
37:09
have stepped in for the um orai
37:14
fight oh like they were too tough for their own good kind of thing yeah yeah and honestly like unless he had not come
37:24
back in the way that he did I would have wanted that fight to be stopped but I do
37:30
feel like every time it felt like a good time to stop it
37:36
he would do something yeah he was in the fight he wanted to be there yeah he wasn't he wasn't turtling up and I mean
37:42
he had every excuse too to you know show that he wanted out of that fight but he didn't he was unrelenting in his pursuit
37:50
of of finishing that fight yeah so he he did a good job of just doing just enough
37:55
to not get it stopped but wouldn't have been surprised just because of the visuals um of a ref jumping in at any
38:03
point sure and I've seen people friends usually usually friends because I'm like
38:08
they're fine they were fine but I A lot of times
38:14
with friends you'll see them get a big knock down uh the guy comes back they
38:19
knock their friend down and then the fight gets stopped and it's always like man that was too early you could have
38:25
given them more time I think there's never a bad to Fighters it's never a bad
38:33
thing to let the fight go on just a little bit to see how it plays out sure to Fighters I think to the Fighter's
38:39
family and friends it's the opposite it's a little different it's a little different my baby no don't save him but
38:47
uh I mean I don't I don't think uh oral has any problem with that fight
38:52
continuing of if anything recki is mad because he could have got had in a
38:57
finish he could have like come out with a lot less damage if they had stopped it there but yeah I I I definitely feel
39:05
like the ref was on top of it and it was a good decision in my eyes yeah yeah um
39:12
let's see and that was a question from Miller Light 721 on
39:18
Instagram then we also had uh Ian clut on Twitter
39:28
asking uh thoughts on Max moving up and we kind
39:33
of talked about that earlier but we like it yeah I think again I think he's at a
39:40
point in his career and and who he is as a fighter where we he can call his shots he can you know go do those super fights
39:46
mix it up in the divisions and do whatever he wants really yeah I agree I
39:53
I love watching Max fight I think with everyone but two people in the UFC he
39:58
doesn't have a great night so to keep Wheeling him out for more fights especially where he can be more healthy
40:06
come in at his uh walk around weight have a good head on his shoulders and just you know fight and put on another
40:12
great performance I'm I'm all for it yeah um and
40:18
then uh oh no well Mr eyes of nine asked
40:25
or pretty much just said Bobby Knuckles teeth
40:31
oh don't remind me popped out like they were trying to get
40:37
away I think they were trying to go in he's trying to swallow them trying to go
40:42
in where it's safe yeah no more no more pressure that was horrible it makes you think uh would you ever if you were
40:49
fighting someone with insane pressure like that would you ever ever wear like the football mouth guard where it's
40:55
double it's like top and bottom mouthpiece I've I've never tried it so I
41:03
really can't speak on you know how comfortable it is um I hate them it it was it I felt like when I first started
41:10
training I would always it like I did it and then everyone who would come into
41:16
the gym the first time would do it on accident where you get the only mouth guard at like uh um Sports place like
41:24
big five yeah and it would be the football mouth guard with the top and the bottom and you just use that because
41:31
you don't know any better and you can't breathe for [ __ ] like yeah I I don't
41:36
think I would ever do that I know have you ever seen like um some boxers use there's a top and bottom and it's this
41:42
huge mouthpiece and there is a bigger space for you to breathe but it's like it's pretty
41:50
invasive like it it covers like all of your gum line it covers the bottom and the top row I don't think I could do
41:56
that either yeah Al so much but if a boxer can do it like maybe maybe it's
42:02
better I just think with the with the grappling and the clenching and stuff a mouth guard like that just obstructs
42:08
your breathing so much yeah I don't think I would like it yeah me neither all right well uh that's that's all we
42:14
got for this week uh next week we got some fun fights coming up oh yes we do
42:21
uh we have Mareno versus albazi in the main event at FL lweight we also have
42:29
yes we also have Aaron blanchfield taking on Ros nunas and dererk Lewis is back taking on oh janata Denise who's
42:37
that I don't know Jon not gonna tell me who that
42:44
is oh okay he uh got a knockout over Austin Lane uh he beat Carl Williams so this is
42:53
a huge step up for uh jonata yeah he's a replacement for Alexander Romanov okay
43:01
was originally scheduled to fight Derek yeah so that that matchup makes more sense but yeah Dereck Lewis he usually
43:08
does well against guys like this as long as he's not on the Main Event in Texas he's fine man I know it's the hometown
43:16
curse it happens that's a real thing it's a it's too much pressure you start
43:22
to build up a phobia of that spot like I have the same thing with the Apex I'm just like like every time I step in Apex
43:28
I [ __ ] I can just feel the weight of all the other losses from there the
43:33
split decisions the the bad fights the H is just it's just horrible hoping and
43:41
praying my next one is in front of people real people yeah you're gonna get one like out in the boonies out in
43:47
another country for that oh yeah I love that Boonies show up like people show up
43:54
they were saying how the Abu Dhabi fights because they've been there so many times they start showing up late
44:00
now like that first fight was pretty crazy like you were saying that you thought that could have been fighting the night before yeah yeah and I was
44:08
thinking the same thing when I was watching it but the crowd was silent and if you had that fight in the boonies or
44:13
the first time that they went to Abu Dhabi they would be packed from head to toe the stadium screaming at every
44:21
little thing that happened so I'm I'm happy with the boonies give me the bo
44:27
before the Apex any day you just won like that 33% tax that you have to pay on top of the the US taxes yeah yeah
44:35
maybe not Australia but they're [ __ ] terrible somewhere else
44:42
please um and yeah what other fights are there just those uh three interesting ones those are yeah those are the
44:49
interesting ones um all the other ones oh we have some ladies on the card we
44:55
have oh that makes sense uh we have have uh Canadian Jasmine Jaz deicious and she's taking on Ariana lipsky that
45:03
should be a fun one oh you got Pedro Munos of fighting uh zahabi I'm not
45:11
familiar with him but he must be good if they Mash him against Pedro Munos and he's on the on the blue Corner
45:19
