Speaker 6: there's still a show.

34
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: Well, you and I have talked a lot about this

35
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: on the road, and I did a lot of media

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: last week, and oftentimes I was asked about our five

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: hundredth episode, and I kept saying, Domina Cruz always says,

38
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: what the fuck do you guys talk about from five

39
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: hundred episodes?

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 4: I don't know.

41
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 6: Seriously, It's nice to come on for an episode and

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 6: be like, oooh, I did really good.

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: So a lot to get into with you today, and

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 2: we appreciate your time. So you were in the United

45
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: States twenty four or so hours ago, and you are

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: now back in Mexico City, where you have been for

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: some time. Jojo is with you. It seems as though

48
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: you've been working on your body, maybe stacking training camp days, potentially.

49
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 2: I was facetiming with Rosnama units last week after her win,

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: and she was talking about you on the broadcast, and

51
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: she said, man Don was so locked in he must

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: have a fight on the books. So I don't usually

53
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 2: start with the hard hitting questions, but I will lead

54
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: with that today. It seems like maybe you're working towards something.

55
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: Is there a fight on the horizon or no?

56
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 6: So I like to kind of work in silence the

57
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 6: best I can. I already know there's a whole division

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 6: that would love to fight me. I get called out

59
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 6: every weekend. There's not a shortage of fighters that want

60
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 6: to fight me. I think the most important part for

61
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 6: me is to be as healthy as physically possible, to

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 6: be in the best kind of physical shape I can be,

63
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 6: so that when these people call me out, I'm ready

64
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 6: to beat them. So I'm basically doing that. I'm out here.

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 6: I've been in Mexico City. I didn't know how it

66
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 6: was going to be, but I it's very healthy lifestyle

67
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 6: out here. Actually, you ride your bike everywhere. You don't

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 6: I don't even have a car. I live on a

69
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 6: on the floor on a bed, it's kind of like

70
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 6: how I started. So I'm borrowing an extra bedroom and

71
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 6: you just out here. It's cheaper out here to live

72
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 6: in Mexico right now, if we're talking about comparatively speaking.

73
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 7: To Vegas, and you got the altitude.

74
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 6: Got the altitude, and I've got a whole cadet team.

75
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 6: These are all the best, some of the best fighters

76
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 6: that went through the combine out here in Mexico City.

77
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 6: So they're all the best fighters in South America that

78
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 6: got picked out of like I don't know, one hundred

79
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 6: and fifty fighters that came intod A combine, and this

80
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 6: is them.

81
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: And they're all.

82
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 6: One hundred and thirty five hundred and forty five pounds,

83
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty five pounds.

84
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: So I got a whole sea of you.

85
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 6: Know, so Americans that want to kill me and take

86
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 6: everything I have every single day.

87
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 7: And the Yeah, it is this Dominic Cruz's Rocky three moment.

88
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 7: This is what it feels like. You're going back, you know,

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 7: getting the hunger of being around hungry fighters. Is this

90
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 7: what this is?

91
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, well you can, we can label it whatever we want,

92
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 6: right but I think the more I just let it

93
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 6: be what it is, instead of trying.

94
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: To label it.

95
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 6: It puts less pressure, less expectation. I could just show

96
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 6: up and do what I gotta do. But I'm here

97
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 6: to be ready. I'm I'm as healthy as I've been

98
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 6: in a long time. I've got the physical therapy here

99
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 6: at the PI that the whole establishment. Food is good,

100
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 6: So I feel really good. And if there was ever

101
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 6: a chance for this to all line up, it's now.

102
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

103
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: So have you ever done a full training camp at

104
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: altitude or at least significant chunks before the.

105
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 6: Last time I did it was man years. I don't

106
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 6: even remember who the fight was against, I think, but

107
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 6: I trained at altitude a little bit. Oh, it's when

108
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 6: Brandon and Vera was getting ready to fight at altitude somewhere,

109
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 6: and I went to his training camp up at Big

110
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 6: Bear to prepare for Ian McCall and I did. I

111
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 6: did like two weeks out there, and yeah, it's it's

112
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 6: the hardest.

113
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: It is.

114
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 6: It's the hardest, but once you adapt, it just becomes

115
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 6: like anything else, and then your whole body kind of,

116
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 6: you know, turns into something different. The best way I

117
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 6: can explain it is, if anybody's ever I know there's

118
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 6: a lot of dragon ball Z fans in this world.

119
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna say that there's an episode where they

120
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 6: go intoto this other world where the world is so

121
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 6: heavy and.

122
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 4: They have to train in the gravity, and that's what

123
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 4: it feels like.

124
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 6: It feels like you're training in a place where everything's

125
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 6: heavier out here it's no air.

126
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 7: Yea, that's awesome. I love the reference. All right, So

127
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 7: Morob duallas Pheli's taken on Sean O'Malley in a little bit.

128
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 7: How do you break down that fight? Who do you

129
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 7: see as have men?

130
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 4: I mean, O'Malley has the advantage.

131
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 6: You saw Henry was able to kind of hurt Davish

132
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 6: Bili a little bit and force the wrestling.

133
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: Like, so.

134
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 4: O'Malley's going to hit him. We're all going to get hit.

135
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 6: I mean, if you if you're going in there expecting

136
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna get hit once, I'm just gonna finish

137
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 6: him in a minute, you're you could, yeah, but it's

138
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 6: a it's quite an expectation for yourself. So I expect

139
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 6: he's gonna get hit. The question is how is he

140
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 6: going to close the distance? That's the that's why this

141
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 6: is a good fight for O'Malley is the distance and

142
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 6: the stand switches and the footwork.

143
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: He's got all the all the good. It's a good

144
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: style matchup, like for O'Malley.

145
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 6: Stylistically, you got a short guy who wants to wrestle,

146
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 6: and we know for a fact doesn't want to stand up.

147
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: Can he stand up?

148
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 6: Yes, but it's not what he wants to do, It's

149
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 6: not where he's comfortable.

150
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: So the fight starts standing that. That's where I.

151
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 6: See it's a it's a good stylistic matchup for O'Malley.

152
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 7: I guess to play the other side of it, Dom,

153
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 7: how do you think O'Malley matches up if Morob is

154
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 7: able to find a way to get to that, to

155
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 7: get those legs to get to the body on a clinch,

156
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 7: do you think he's gonna have good enough grappling to

157
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 7: nullify or to get back to his feet.

158
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 6: That's the part I think if you go back and

159
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 6: you watch O'Malley and some that stuff he's been in

160
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 6: the forced himself into these tough situations.

161
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, frozen in Mexico City, frozen pizza.

162
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: There we go, we're back.

163
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: And no we're frozen again. Yeah, we're back. I think

164
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: we're back now frozen.

165
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, we could hear you.

166
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 4: And hello, are we back yet?

167
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is back since lating television. We might have

168
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: to Yeah, I hear you, but the delay is such Cody,

169
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: maybe we can rerack him potentially. I think Morob Dwallish

170
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: Willy right now is the slight betting favorite. Dom We

171
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: would ask you to maybe leave and come back and

172
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: see if we can get a better connection, if you'd

173
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: be so covered. I think Dwallish Willy is actually the

174
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: betting favorite right now, if I'm not mistaken. They don't

175
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: have it on Draftking Sportsbook. I think in part because

176
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: there hasn't been a date announced, a lot of people

177
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: are expecting that it'll be September fourteenth at Spear Vegas.

178
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: By the way, we have gotten some instructions Sphere Vegas,

179
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: don't call it the sphere, so if youbody drop the

180
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: v sphere or sphere in Vegas. But September fourteenth is

181
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: the expecting date for Dwallish Willie and Sean O'Malley. Jay,

182
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: I know you were gonna eventually ask Domina Cruz about

183
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: Blah Muhammad's chances this weekend. We have a lot of

184
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: things we wanted to get into with Domina Cruz, but

185
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: since he is having some technical difficulties, I will dive

186
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 2: in right here, right now. So we are leaving for Manchester,

187
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 2: England tomorrow for UFC three oh four, and I think

188
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: anybody who wants watch the UFC three oh four Countdown

189
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: Special only has heightened interest. By the way, right now,

190
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: I'm Rob Dwallish Willie minus one twenty five betting favorite,

191
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: Sean O'Malley minus one oh five per odd Shark. Hey, Dom,

192
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: We're only going to keep you for a few more minutes.

193
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: Can you hear me?

194
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think I can.

195
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: I just dude, No, it's fine, dude, It's fine. It's uh,

196
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 2: it's Wi Fi. It's all the time, dude. Do you

197
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: know how many Wi Fi fits? Anyone who's listened to

198
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: this show over the last few years knows that I've

199
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: had absolutely fits. So, Sean O'Malley, this is like the

200
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 2: best price that you will have been able to get

201
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: on him in a long time. I mean, you love

202
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 2: the matchup, you didn't hesitate, You know this division and

203
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: these fighters as well as anyone. You can get him

204
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: as an underdog right now. Dom minus one oh five

205
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: for Shan O'Malley. Sounds like that would be somewhat appetizing

206
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: for you if you were actually allowed to bet on

207
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: these things. Great, yeah, all right, we'll try to reconnect

208
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: with dom later. But Cody, let's see a doctor and

209
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: get rid of it. If you don't mind. It's fine,

210
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: it's fine. It is what it is. No, dude, it's fine.

211
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: You're good guys, So you too, brother. So Domina Cruz

212
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: is in Mexico City. He doesn't have a fight. You know,

213
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: I believe him to be a man of veracity, So

214
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: I was going to push him a little bit harder

215
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: on the back end of the interview, but it is

216
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: what it is. So it all goes down this weekend,

217
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: UFC three hundred and four. And your guy below, Muhammad,

218
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 2: who is one of your best friends in the world, Jay,

219
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: who has fought so hard and waited so long for

220
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: this opportunity. It is finally his championship fight week. I mean,

221
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: are you eating? Are you anxious? How are you feeling?

222
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: I know you grew out, grew your hair out for

223
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 2: me a little bit, a little bit, Kenny, Do you

224
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: think I can talk now?

225
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

226
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 2: Oh good? You know I was trying to figure out

227
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: what was more annoying for John the Wi Fi or

228
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: me before the show started. But it's unique, it's a

229
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: unique experience. It's all about Blala. I'm just so excited

230
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: for Balal on so many levels, and even seeing him

231
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: on Countdown, seeing the opportunity for him to sort of

232
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: gain fans even before the fight. I don't know what

233
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: to expect from Leon's side of it. I know what

234
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: we're gonna get from Blal. I've talked about this fight

235
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 2: so much, but yeah, I'm jumping out of my skin

236
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: every day, jumping out of my skin every day.

237
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 7: It really is.

238
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: Interesting when you watch the Countdown special, and I do

239
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: watch these shows Kenny as a fan, not so much

240
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: as a commentator. Certainly there are extractions, and Kenny, I

241
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: don't think at this point in time, you've seen the

242
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: Countdown show. But it does document something that Jay and

243
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: I have known for several months. That you know, balalan

244
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: Is family are part of a foundation that helps wounded children,

245
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: and one of those wounded children from Gaza has been

246
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: living with Blal. They took in him and his father

247
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: and he had his kneecap shattered, and I don't know

248
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: what happened to his mother. But you know, Bellow's a

249
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: guy who I think, in a lot of respects holds

250
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: the emotions back. And seeing him cry, I had my

251
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: kids watching the Countdown special with me yesterday. I'm fucking

252
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: balling my goddamn eyes out and just wondering aloud, if

253
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: balal and again we're gonna check him with this camp

254
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: here in ten minutes, but if he is not only

255
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: maybe a bit overtrained at this point, but just the emotions, Kenny,

256
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: I think are going to be a lot for this man.

257
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 7: Well, it's an interesting question in one that I probably

258
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 7: would have kind of dismissed a while ago, certainly before

259
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 7: my fight against BJ Penn, And that was something I

260
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 7: was looking forward to for a very long time, and

261
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 7: I overtrained a tremendous amount for that fight. Thought it

262
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 7: wasn't real. Definitely did that and was flat probably a

263
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 7: month and a half before that fight. But you know,

264
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 7: that's something, and then you, of course you have the emotional,

265
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 7: you know, portion of that, which is a whole different

266
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 7: ball of wax, which I think is a very interesting

267
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 7: angle to from and I think that it can be

268
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 7: certainly positive, right. It's something that can motivate you through

269
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 7: those very difficult times in camp or of course during

270
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 7: the fight, but it also can be a burden on

271
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 7: you as well, you know, feeling that pressure, having all

272
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 7: those ups and downs emotionally, dealing with all that stuff outside,

273
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 7: because just a championship championship camp alone is a lot

274
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 7: of stress on On a fight, there's so many more obligations,

275
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 7: and of course you're preparing for five rounds now, and

276
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 7: you know, I don't think that's necessarily an issue. Ballall

277
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 7: always comes in tremendous shape, but these are all factors

278
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 7: that need to be taken into consideration when deciding who

279
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 7: the hell is going to win this fight.

280
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: You know, And I can't speak to a lot of that,

281
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 2: certainly from a fighting standpoint, and your points are extremely

282
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 2: well taken. But we're all wired differently, right, and I

283
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: think Balal has a great ability to compartmentalize, right. And

284
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: you know, you talk about the emotion and everything with Jude,

285
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: the way who he's taken in that emotion. I mean

286
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 2: that was a few weeks ago, months ago, however long ago.

287
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: But Blal is so locked in everything's happening at the

288
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: right time for him. I just as long as he's

289
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: physically healthy and ready to go, I just really look

290
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: forward to seeing him perform. For me, it comes down

291
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: to thinking about the game plan. Thinking about what Leon's

292
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: game plan is three years ago to me is almost

293
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: totally irrelevant. Literally literally it's that long ago in terms

294
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: of Bloo's fighting career. But I'm just fascinated here what

295
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: Kenny's gonna have to say about this fight as we

296
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: get into the day, because I really I flow Below's

297
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: sick of me saying this, but I'll be running and

298
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: there'll be a track that'll come on and it's like

299
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: I'll just start sprinting just thinking about this fight. I

300
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: get goosebumps watching countdown and the emotion. I will say

301
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: people that noble ow the emotion is there, right, A

302
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: lot of people don't noble out. You know, they're gonna

303
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: get to know him. Talk to me chiwee wee's. Oh,

304
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: that's one thing that I wasn't able to get to.

305
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: A dominant Cruz my new favorite bandom weight not Dominant Cruz.

306
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: Please Rosas Junior. I'm gonna buy a black Trucker as well.

307
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: But if you're watching on YouTube, I got the red

308
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: Trucker going on, not now but right now? All right,

309
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: So chef Ian Laios's schedule to join us live from Manchester,

310
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: England here in about ten minutes. He messaged me on

311
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: the record, I've honestly never been part of a camp

312
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: that felt like my athlete did absolutely everything they needed to.

313
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: Haven't seen someone train as hard as him ever, right,

314
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: So for me, I'm just speculating what I see a

315
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: black eye on blow and I think, man, did this

316
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: dude overtrain? How could he not have?

317
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: Right?

318
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: Ken Flow obviously overtrained back.

319
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 4: In the day.

320
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: Do you want to interrupt me right now? You just

321
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: had a lot of airtime? Go ahead, no, please, well no,

322
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: I mean just I mean, you know a word like overtrain.

323
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's levels to overtrain. Can he talk to

324
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: GSP about overtraining for a fight? Even on episode five hundred?

325
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: So I was actually trying to move on from it

326
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: and not necessarily spend a full three hundred seconds on

327
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: this narrative. All of a sudden, Annix suggests that Muhammad

328
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: is overtrained for UFC three oh four. I think it's

329
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: impossible not to be when you are wired like blal

330
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: But as long as you're healthy, you know, and in

331
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: the right frame of mind. I think that's all good.

332
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: I just think there are going to be some ad

333
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: emotions when he hits the tunnel and the Palestinian flag

334
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: is flying and everything else.

335
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: You know.

336
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: I also believe Kenny, and I know you're waiting until

337
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: Wednesday or whatever to give your pick in the fight.

338
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: And I know you are in the Blao Muhammad business

339
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: right professionally speaking, Anakin Flora and LLC and all that stuff, right,

340
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: But Leon Edwards is an outstanding fighter, and I do

341
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: believe him to be the best welterweight in the world

342
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: right now, and I do believe it is going to

343
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: take blow Muhammad's absolute best on July twenty seventh to

344
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: beat him. I'm not sitting here saying that Leon beats

345
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: balal later nine out of ten times necessarily, But when

346
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: you break down this matchup, and when you look at

347
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: the stylistic differences, and when you look at the obvious

348
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: improvements on both sides and maybe some of the non

349
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: obvious and intangible improvements on both sides, you know, how

350
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: do you break down this championship main event?

351
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 7: Well, I think that it's pretty clear that Leon Edwards

352
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 7: is probably the most technical fighter in that division as

353
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 7: far as what he's capable of. Everything he does just

354
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 7: looks good. It's just Dick's book man. And you also

355
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 7: have to consider the fact that he's on quite the

356
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 7: wind streak against some phenomenal fighters, and he's experienced a

357
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 7: lot at this point. So I think confidence will be high,

358
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 7: or repeat confidence will be high. However, one thing is certain,

359
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 7: and Jason talked about this, the fact that you know

360
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,239
Speaker 7: what you're gonna get with Ballall. Ballall is always going

361
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 7: to show up to fight.

362
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 4: You know.

363
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 7: I actually watched their fight not too long ago, a

364
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 7: couple of days ago, their first meeting, their first encounter,

365
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 7: and to me, that was the only kind of outlier

366
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 7: in the performances of Blall. Why well, he took it

367
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 7: on short notice. He just looked a little hesitant. His

368
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 7: confidence wasn't there. And I think that what's interesting is

369
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 7: Ballall has made huge improvements. He's extremely motivated by this rematch,

370
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 7: the fact that it's the championship fight, and all those

371
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 7: other things that we've talked about, and Ballall is not

372
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 7: phenomenal at any one thing, but you know, I guess

373
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 7: we can compare it to something like, you know, the

374
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 7: king of the jungle, the lion. The lion is not

375
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 7: the biggest, it's not the smartest, it's not, you know,

376
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 7: the fastest, but it's the king of the jungle for

377
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 7: the reason because of all of those elements that you

378
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 7: put together. And I think that's what Ballall is able

379
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 7: to bring to this fight. It's how he puts it

380
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 7: all together. It's his decision making on fight night, it's

381
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 7: how he performs on fight night. And he has proven

382
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 7: that he has the toughness that when it comes down

383
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 7: to him having to be a nail, he knows how

384
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 7: to come back. And I think that he's going to

385
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 7: need that against someone as technical and as dangerous and

386
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 7: precise as Leon Edwards. So to me, this is a

387
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 7: lot closer than people think, just based on Ballall's consistency

388
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 7: as a performer.

389
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 2: How good is Kenny? I mean, how good is Kenny? Any?

390
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: I want to ask you?

391
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 3: So?

392
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: May sixth, twenty twenty three, Blow Fights, Gilbert burns and

393
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: punches his ticket via Dana's words to the championship fight.

394
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: How much improvement a year and a quarter that Balal

395
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: has had knowing not only Leon's the guy, right, but

396
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: just to work on yourself, a guy that is married

397
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: to the game, right when you think about your career,

398
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: a fourteen month stretch to improve yourself where we haven't

399
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: seen balal other than clips of him training.

400
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's the other thing, right, It's hard to

401
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 7: prepare for someone like that, especially given the fact that

402
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 7: you do see improvements over time. Ballall is always a

403
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 7: different dude every single time out, and he executes. He

404
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 7: knows how to execute. So for Leon, you hope that

405
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 7: he did not take this fight lightly. You go from

406
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 7: facing a guy in Kamara Usman who was the dude

407
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 7: in that division for a very long time, and now think, ah,

408
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 7: the law I already you know, I made easy work

409
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 7: of him the first time around. Yes, there was the

410
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 7: ipokes and YadA, YadA, YadA, but he's not at the

411
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 7: level of so someone like Kamara, who's this would be

412
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 7: the biggest mistake of his life and of his career

413
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 7: you cannot.

414
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: Take ye right.

415
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just there's a zero percent chance. And this

416
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: is not me saying yeah, but this is not the

417
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: cloth from which he has cut, right, There's a zero

418
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 2: percent chance that Leon Edwards took the Law Muhammad lightly

419
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: because you can't take the hardest working guy in the

420
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: division or the consensus hard working guy lightly. You just can't,

421
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: you know. And I just feel like Leon Edwards is

422
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: still sort of criminally underappreciated.

423
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 4: You know.

424
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: I get asked a lot about like Leon pound for

425
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: pound versus like Islamikashev, and I do think those guys

426
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 2: are neck and neck, and I think this matchup affords

427
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: Leon a great opportunity to prove once again his well roundedness.

428
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: And when Kenny talks about how technical Leon is, like

429
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 2: even his takedown defense, Dude, it's fun to watch him

430
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: defend a fucking takedown. And you said something that I

431
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: had in my notes in terms of blal and his

432
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: best MMA attribute or asset or skill, and you said

433
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: something to the effect of, you know, maybe he doesn't

434
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: do any one thing as a ten right right, And

435
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 2: he said of Leon Edwards's head kick, Kenny, he called

436
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: it sort of like a hail mary. And I don't

437
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: necessarily see Leon's headkick as any sort of hail mary.

438
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: I think he could land it, you know, twenty times

439
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 2: in a fight and put your lights out. And even

440
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: in the first fight he blocked it partially did Balal,

441
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: and it still caused blade drunk driving on his feet.

442
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: So one thing I'm going to ask Leon in the

443
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: fighter media is what is the one thing you know,

444
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: what is the one thing or two things that are

445
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: areas of focus when it comes to Blao Muhammad or

446
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: is it just general terms.

447
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 7: Well, the other thing to consider is the weaponized cardio

448
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 7: that we talked about so often. And what Leon does

449
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 7: really well is he's able to manage his energy extremely well.

450
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 7: Why Because he's extremely technical. He knows how to slow

451
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 7: the fight down at the right times. Bolall knows how

452
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 7: to push on the fighter at the right time, So

453
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 7: he knows how to push that conditioning. He knows how

454
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 7: to get that other fighter to work much harder than

455
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 7: he probably wants to. And I think that should be

456
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 7: an element to this fight here against Leon Edwards, because

457
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 7: if Leon is comfortable, he's winning just straight up, because

458
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 7: he's gonna be the more technical fighter against ninety nine

459
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 7: point nine percent of the division. He knows how to

460
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 7: do that. So Balall's got to find a way to

461
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 7: get Leon Edwards to work much harder than he is

462
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 7: than he wants to. I think that's huge. And you

463
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 7: know who knows if Ballall is kind of saying that

464
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 7: to maybe get inside, you know, the heads of the

465
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 7: head of Edwards. In regards to that left kick, I

466
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 7: don't think it's a hail Mary strike by any means.

467
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 7: It's one that he throws very often, and because he's

468
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 7: in that self past stance very often, you are in

469
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 7: the way. There's no other thing. Again, I was a

470
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 7: self power for a long time. It's very difficult to

471
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 7: block and see that kick when you're facing a self

472
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 7: Paul who knows how to use that roundhouse left kick.

473
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 7: So it's an but I have to imagine just based

474
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 7: on the preparation of Bala Mohammed, he's gonna be ready

475
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 7: for that left kick.

476
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm like half here. I'm so fucking excited.

477
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 2: I'm like half here. I can't as my as my

478
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,160

Speaker 5: Good to see you too.

489
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: So another high profile fight week for you, But obviously

490
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 2: there have been weeks on the front end of this.

491
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 2: So when did you get to Chicago, Illinois? Look at

492
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 2: this guy repping young La, loud and proud by the way,

493
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: So when did you get to Chicago? And how have

494
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: the last several weeks or days been with the number

495
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: one contender?

496
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: They've been great. You know, as you said, the law

497
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: is just a man. He's a one of a kind human.

498
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: About five five weeks ago I got there, so flew

499
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: in from Bali and this is our longest camp together

500
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: and he's dialed in. You know, I've been lucky to

501
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: be part of a lot of world title camps, and

502
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: this one just feels different in terms of the work

503
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: that's been put in, just his mentality, just him as

504
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: a person. And you know, the work he's been putting

505
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: in is the second to none.

506
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 4: So I've.

507
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: He's ready.

508
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 2: He's ready, son, right, He's ready. Go ahead, Johne, and

509
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 2: I'm so fucking fired up. See in a couple of days, chef,

510
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: go ahead, John.

511
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 7: Kenny all you and I wanted to ask you know, so,

512
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 7: what what does your involvement in the camp look like?

513
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 4: What is it?

514
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 7: What is the typical day in your life?

515
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: And for Belall, honestly just trying and make the wall

516
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: his life easier in terms of nutrition and performance, so

517
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: everything that kind of entails that, go to training with them,

518
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: watch him train other than sparrow them sometimes if I

519
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: have to, and just kind of just make adjustments based

520
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: off how he's feeling and how he's recovering. I grew

521
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: up cooking and I went to school for nutrition, so

522
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: I kind of combined the two. And h Ballall loves

523
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: to eat, so he's so excited each time. I kind

524
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: of curate these meals based off kind of the foods

525
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: he likes and everything. So it makes it special because

526
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: with him, you know, I can see how hard he works,

527
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: and I get to be a part of that too,

528
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: because I love training myself and I love being around

529
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: people that love to push themselves, you know, like guys

530
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: like Paul Felder that I've worked with. Two guys are

531
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: just absolute dogs and love to just push themselves, like

532
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: to the to the ultimately limit. And He's been doing

533
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: that for more than five you know, I've been with

534
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: him five six weeks now, and he's been doing that

535
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: long before I got there. So yeah, just kind of

536
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: customizing where where his weight's at, and then how he's

537
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: how he's recovering during during training, and then more so

538
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: just how he's feeling nutrition.

539
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 7: And I guess cooking in general is such an interesting thing,

540
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 7: just because you feel like sometimes there's different approaches or

541
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 7: people have different takes on things and what's important, what's not,

542
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 7: and what you need to do, and of course you

543
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 7: have the whole weight cutting element where you don't want

544
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 7: to be putting on a ton of weight. What do

545
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 7: you think is the thing that has changed the most

546
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 7: in regards to nutrition and fight prep for food? I

547
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 7: guess over the last few years, is there something that

548
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 7: has changed dramatically? Is there pretty much the same stuff?

549
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: I think it's changed pretty drastically. I think a lot

550
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: of athletes prior, you know, I think that eating less

551
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: is going to help them. And I think guys relationship

552
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: with food and realizing that, you know, it has a

553
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: lot to do with performance and preparing early. That's the

554
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: biggest things I try to tell all these guys, the

555
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: more you could be prepared for the weight cut and

556
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: the more you can control your weight outside of camp,

557
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: the easier these things become. You know, if you're blowing up.

558
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: And obviously it's hard not to enjoy, you know, the

559
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: fruits of your labor and go out and enjoy these things.

560
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: But the end of the day, like these opportunities don't

561
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: come very often, and if you're unprepared for them, like

562
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: the last, the last thing you would do is miss

563
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: it up, miss out on a huge opportunity.

564
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 4: Because your weight.

565
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: It'd be a silly reason to you know, you know,

566
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: not achieve your dream just because of like some small

567
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: things having outside of training. But I do think that

568
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is like guys managing their weight outside

569
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: of camp and just being full time athletes. Guys like

570
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: Belall you know that train year around. A lot of

571
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: guys do training around, but they're not you know, they're

572
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: not dedicated in that sense year around, right, and it shows,

573
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, if you're cutting, you know, if you're gaining

574
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: fifty pounds between between fights, like you don't see that

575
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: in other sports. I mean sometimes I guess in baseball

576
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: you see some of these guys take some time off

577
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: in game, but like there's it's not a weight class

578
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: for it, so they could come back heavy, and like

579
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: guys could have an opinion about it. If it's not

580
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: affecting their performance there that there's not really much people

581
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: can do about it. But if you're coming in heavy

582
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: into in the fight camps and missing weight or having

583
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, blackluster performances, obviously people are gonna have opinions

584
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: about it, and you can obviously be fined and everything

585
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: on top of that.

586
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I've seen Balal even when Leon had

587
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 2: a fight on the books against Colby, like barely take

588
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: a bite of a dessert, you know, not even out

589
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 2: of you know, out of camp, you know, with a

590
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: camping behind him. But I want to ask you, so

591
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: you're a runner. I know you're a runner. Blal is

592
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: not built like a runner, right, so I know you know,

593
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: it's built like a beagle.

594
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 4: So he's been he's been running a lot.

595
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 3: Actually I love it there he is.

596
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 4: Who's at a runner? Boy?

597
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: Let's go.

598
00:28:59,440 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 4: Boys?

599
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: This is I can't.

600
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 7: People are looking at me, They're like, man, how did

601
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 7: he past you?

602
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 5: What did he take in this?

603
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: This? And this?

604
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: I'm thinking Ian Larry the guy out there.

605
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: This is the guy right here.

606
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: Look at the time. Have you ever looked so handsome?

607
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you look ten, You look fit. The black

608
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: guy seemingly is gone.

609
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: You look great. I'd rather feeling good, feeling happy right now.

610
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 7: Uh we just had breakfast and uh me and Ian

611
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 7: about going to run extly.

612
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: All right, well we'll only keep him for like five

613
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: more minutes. We didn't want to bother you. But you know,

614
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: some people might talk about me saying something about you

615
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 2: being like overtrained or something, and like that's not what

616
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: I was getting. Like, is somebody like you who is

617
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: the hardest worker in the room. Do you ever think

618
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: about that or have conversations with Mike Valley or Ian

619
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: about like being overtrained? Like do you ever take days off?

620
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 5: Or no?

621
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 4: No, not at all.

622
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 8: Like even now with Ian living with me, he's flowed

623
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 8: me down, But now with him, I have all the

624
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 8: right fuel before he got there, Like like you said, fighters,

625
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 8: we don't know what eat Like I was, I'll eat

626
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 8: like a chicken breast thing and that's enough. But now

627
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 8: he's giving me full plate of food with potatoes and stuff,

628
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 8: and it makes me think that I need to work harder.

629
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 8: So he's given me the extra calities and stuff that

630
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 8: I need to push through that practice. And I it

631
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 8: doesn't feel like I've overtrained it off. It feels like

632
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 8: I'm perfect right now.

633
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:17,760

Speaker 8: No, Yeah, honestly, that was It was a poor and

642
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 8: it was it was huge that the the US put

643
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 8: that into the Countdown And it's amazing that people's actually

00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 8: are like seeing in and noticing it.

645
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, it's just a different side of you, right.

646
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 4: But I'm just glad that you had got his TV time.

647
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

648
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, starting now, it's awesome.

649
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 8: Coking a lot of responsible for people that are like, hey, yeah,

650
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 8: we're gonna send them clothes, We're gonna send it this.

651
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 4: So he's a superstar.

652
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm trying to give your super star chef

653
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: his camera time. So Jay, unless Kenny have anything else

654
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: for let's go tell love you still Jacks you soon brother.

655
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: There he is number one Welterway contenter Balal remember the

656
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: name Muhammad Chefy and Laios joining us here on the

657
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: Anakin Florian podcast. So I have a few more for

658
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: you if you don't mind. So in terms of the

659
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: weight cut, right, Balal has obviously weighed in as a backup,

660
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: and I would imagine you guys weren't necessarily aligned for

661
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 2: a lot of that. He has weighed on short notice

662
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,719
Speaker 2: against Gilbert Burns, and I believe that weight cut, if

663
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, was particularly challenging. I'd imagine you feel

664
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: pretty confident right now relative to those two experiences.

665
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, it's one of those things that like Blall

666
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: trusted me enough where I'm lily when text his weight,

667
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: so it's not something that's on his mind. And I

668
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: think that like shows how much trust he has in me,

669
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: just because you don't have to think about it. In

670
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: the days where he sees he's eating more food, obviously

671
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: subconsciously he knows that I'm probably a way ahead of schedule.

672
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 4: That's why he's feeding me more so.

673
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: The biggest thing with that is more so just kind

674
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: of just keeping him dialed in and keeping him fat obviously,

675
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: like he said, and like I've said before, he's the

676
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: hardest worker in the room. So sometimes it's about pulling

677
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: him back.

678
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 4: Even on his slow days are on his off.

679
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: Days on Sundays, we're still working out two times a day,

680
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's more like a swim and then we'll

681
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: do like an active recovery.

682
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 3: Session like a hot Yeah.

683
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: But I'm like, on some people's regular schedule, that's a workout,

684
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: you know, for him, that's a that's a lazy Sunday, right, Right,

685
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: So it helps me really wrap my head around like

686
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: how like how dedicated he is, and like it helps

687
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: me obviously get better too, because we're fueling for that,

688
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: right obviously, the different type of athlete that is constantly

689
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: in the gym, and I have no issue feeding him more.

690
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: If anything, that's that's my goal with all my guys.

691
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 4: I hate I hate weight cutting.

692
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: I've obviously made a career around it, right, I hate

693
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 1: that aspect of it. I hate that, like I mean,

694
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: you you guys have all seen it can obviously been

695
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: part of it where it's it's one of this like

696
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: it's like a black eye on the sport. You know,

697
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: these guys that these guys and girls that put themselves

698
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: through hell before they have to walk in the cage

699
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: and do it again. It's it's just one of those

700
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: things that I want to change culture around that, and

701
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: guys like him, you know, are helping me do that.

702
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: I'm pretty like low key on.

703
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: Social media and you start pushing more, more stuff, But

704
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: that's the goal, having guys fully fed, fully fueled, and

705
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: then obviously mildly dehydrated if they have to be, but

706
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: to the extremes of you know, where I've had to

707
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: go before, and you know, it's kind of what I

708
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: want to.

709
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 4: Get away from.

710
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: And obviously with him, the more time we have, the

711
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: easier that gets in, the less you know impactful that is.

712
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 4: On you know, his long term health and his performance.

713
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: So Blaal and I have talked about obviously waking up

714
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night fighting Leon in the

715
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: middle of the streets. It doesn't matter what time the

716
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 2: fight is at, but just curious if you can shine

717
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,239
Speaker 2: a little bit of light on what you guys are

718
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: trying to do from a sleep standpoint.

719
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's super interesting. Obviously, it's crazy, crazy time

720
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 1: to be fighting.

721
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 3: But we got in here.

722
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: We kind of pushed yesterday.

723
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,959
Speaker 4: But he'll be He woke up at three.

724
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: Pm today, went to bed at seven am, yes, in

725
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: the morning, and so he's getting he's he's sleeping like

726
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: a rock.

727
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 4: We get the place.

728
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: We're saying, that's beautiful.

729
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 4: It's black. The room's all blacked out.

730
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: He's just got white noise in his room, so he

731
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: really can't hear anything. So we're just we wake up

732
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: at you know, three pm. I'm down here with some

733
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: coffee for him.

734
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: I said, good morning, and we just move about.

735
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: You know, we mentally prepare for it being in the

736
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: morning at you know, three pm, and we're kind of

737
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: starting our day now. So right now it's four oh five,

738
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get our first work out in, have

739
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: some lunch probably around five thirty, and then we're gonna

740
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: try to you know, stay up until about seven am

741
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: and then yeah, so he's he's doing everything he can

742
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: kind of adjust. He's sleeping good, and that's the biggest thing.

743
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: If you can wake up, you know, on fight day

744
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: around you know, around around midnight one am, probably he'll

745
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: probably end up waking up around eleven or so, and

746
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: then we'll just go about our day like that, a

747
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: little like a little nap before and then and kind

748
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: of go about it like that. But which that's the

749
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: way that me and Charles from the p I have

750
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: kind of been can been working on a schedule of

751
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: acclimating because obviously there's probably no right way to go

752
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: about it. But as long as he's you know, sleeping

753
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: eight eight nine hours and waking up three four pm

754
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: and then eating, fueling and then probably taking a nap,

755
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: he'll he'll be ready to rock come come four five am,

756
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: whatever time it ends up being. Uh, he's been mentally

757
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: prepared for like I said, Like you said, he's ready

758
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: to find.

759
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 4: Him in the street at you know, five am.

760
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: So he's he's more than prepared if he's if he's

761
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: got eight hours of sleep, he'll be.

762
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 3: Good to go.

763
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 2: All right, Got about a minute left with chef Ian

764
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 2: Larios on location with the lam Mohammad in Manchester, England.

765
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 2: And as your friend, hopefully I'm pronouncing your last name right, Larios, Marios,

766
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:02,720
Speaker 2: Larios right, God, all right, So your contributions obviously extend

767
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: beyond cooking and nutrition, right, You're a byproduct of the

768
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: people you surround yourself with. And even though maybe it's

769
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 2: a wayward decision by blow to align with Jason anak Here,

770
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 2: I think Ian Laios is a great person to be

771
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: part of Bellow's inner circle.

772
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 7: I will leave you with this.

773
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 2: I had a colonoscopy last Wednesday and I ended up

774
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: being the last patient at five forty five pm Eastern.

775
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: So I kind of mismanaged the fasting, so to speak.

776
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: I didn't ingest really any chicken broth or anything, and

777
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 2: it ended up instead of being like a twenty four

778
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: hour fast, about forty six hours. Bro Dude, I was

779
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: I couldn't even grab my phone out of my pocket

780
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: to text yeah. So I don't know if you have

781
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: any suggestions in the future for how I can handle that,

782
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: but I was able to uh maybe relate for at

783
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: least a few hours as to what some of these

784
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 2: athletes go through.

785
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I think it is good. I mean,

786
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people that have opinions about athletes missing wait.

787
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: Obviously there's a lot of mistakes that can happen, but

788
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: especially the online community that attacks these more so women

789
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: than anything. I think some of these guys that have

790
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: an opinion about athletes missing waid and just cutting weight

791
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: in general need to just do that a day themselves. Yeah,

792
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's easy to sit and have an opinion.

793
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: Obviously mistakes were made, but it's like things happen, and uh,

794
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: it's rough. So the more and more education, the more

795
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: and more people that can get out there and like

796
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: help these athletes and be there for them, the better

797
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: also be because yeah, it's one dangerous thing to another

798
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: dangerous thing.

799
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, I hate that.

800
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 4: I hate that idea.

801
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: And even though that I'm like a big part of

802
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: kind of weight cutting, I think changing the culture around it.

803
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: You know, guys like Tyler Minon, guys like their opinion,

804
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, are are doing these things trying to you know,

805
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: build and then Jordie Sullivan who works with Leon Edwards

806
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: and I have So it's one of those things where

807
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: it's like we're all we're not competiting. I like to

808
00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: think of us as not competitors.

809
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 3: You know, we're all guys that love.

810
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: The sport and love of our athletes and at the

811
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: end of the day, they have to go out there

812
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: and fight.

813
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 4: But I don't look at it as a competitive thing.

814
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: I think the more like minded coaches that are out

815
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: there and you know, help athletes the better along with

816
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: the performances the UFC bringing them in and giving the

817
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: athletes to take advantage of it. You know, at the

818
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: end of the day, they have access to some of

819
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: the best in the world.

820
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 2: Two of the finest though in nutrition on both sides

821
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,840

Speaker 2: Longo coming up here in about five minutes. Daniel Cormier

835
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 2: also scheduled to join us this hour and then coming

836
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 2: up on Wednesday of this week, Ken Flow will be

837
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 2: making nine predictions for UFC three to OHO four. I'm

838
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: looking at the early prelims. I'm seeing RoboCop Rodriguez against

839
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: Cold Christian Leroy Duncan. Kenflo has got to pick that

840
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: early prelm. That's just the way it fucking goes, all right,

841
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: A lot to get into, Vienna Jeni Doba, Platinum, Mike

842
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 2: Perry in defeat against Jake Paul, and of course plenty

843
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 2: more coming up on UFC three oh four. But Kenny,

844
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: if we could begin here with Vienna Kakara, Jeni Doba

845
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: and uh as I said last week, right, she has

846
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 2: developed and evolved sort of on the UFC stage in

847
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 2: front of our eyes, and now all of a sudden,

848
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: I know it seems like Tatiana Suaz is going to

849
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 2: be next for jeangwe Lee. But you know, Vina joan

850
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: Ji Doba is a title contender and her next fight

851
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: is probably gonna be for a world championship. Used a

852
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 2: lot of your money on her. She gets she gets

853
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 2: it done by armbar in round two.

854
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 7: Thank you for playing that, Cody, because I maybe it

855
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 7: was me, maybe it was John, was both of us.

856
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 7: There was some Brazilian guy over there just kind of

857
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 7: berating us for pronouncing it in that way. It's like, dude,

858
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 7: that's the way she pronounces it. Anyways, she looked fantastic, man.

859
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 7: And again, when you are that high level of a grappler,

860
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 7: especially in my opinion, in the women's divisions, it's a

861
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 7: style that can really go very far. And Lamos is

862
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 7: a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt herself, but there's levels

863
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 7: to the game. There's a lot of Brazilian jiu jitsu

864
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 7: black belts these days, but not so many that are

865
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 7: at the level of RNA Judge Dooba. And you could

866
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 7: see if she just really took over, you know, even

867
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 7: when Lamos was in that guillotine, she was just staying calm.

868
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 7: It really wasn't that close. She was able to, you know,

869
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 7: advance her position and just kind of looked like a

870
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 7: juggernaut on the ground. And Lemos just I feel she

871
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 7: has so much talent but just hasn't been able to

872
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 7: kind of manage the emotional element of her game. She

873
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 7: is extremely potent as a striker, and I think she

874
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 7: has a lot of talent on the ground as well,

875
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 7: but Jenidoba just too good there, and that was the difference.

876
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 7: She has excellent takedowns, she has excellent positioning, she stays

877
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 7: very composed, and I think she's gonna be a problem

878
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 7: even for someone as high level as Waylee.

879
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: Sometimes I get scared referring to athletes as Brazilian jiu

880
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 2: jitsu black belts in front of Kenny, because even though

881
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 2: their fighter bio says it, I feel like his inner

882
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: monologue is like, yeah, okay, dude, you know and who

883
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 2: is that under and oh two years of training BJJ

884
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: black belt?

885
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 5: Wow?

886
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 2: Wow Okay, So Steve Garcia mean machine. And I don't

887
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 2: mean to discredit Vinga jenjidb, but do you have anything

888
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 2: on Vianan Jenjidoba. We were actually watching with your wife

889
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: and she was a little bit off put by the

890
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 2: visual at first of the you know, lazy eye and

891
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: right in the inspection zone. But no, if you want,

892
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: I just thought a real high level fight and for

893
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 2: Jeni dob but leamos Is is a problem. So for

894
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 2: her to eliminate someone like that in that fashion too, yeah,

895
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: big win for Vienna Jangi Doba. So as I'm watching

896
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 2: Steve Garcia's career play out and if you don't know

897
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: nickname mean machine Jackson wink Mma. He's now won four

898
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: straight all by finish as he gets it done here

899
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 2: and what was elevated to the Komain event. The TKO

900
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 2: comes at one thirty six of round one, fifty thousand

901
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 2: dollars bonus for Steve Garcia and Kenny. Throughout his career,

902
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 2: I've never fancied him like a future UFC champion. I'm

903
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 2: not even sure I envisioned him as a top ten guy.

904
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 2: This is a division in which it is very hard

905
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 2: to string together four straight wins, never mind finishes. So

906
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: I guess my question is how high is the ceiling?

907
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 2: Is it fifteen for Steve Garcia? And how is he

908
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 2: continuously getting it done in a lot of big spots.

909
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 7: Well, truth be told, I think it's a little too

910
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 7: early to tell at this stage of the game, but

911
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 7: based on his last performance, man, he looked phenomenal. Just

912
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 7: look sharp, look really dialed in, and I think he

913
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 7: definitely deserves a higher level opponent at this point. Yeah,

914
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 7: but man, I'm kind of regretting my decision because I

915
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 7: initially I had him jotted down for I think four

916
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 7: hundred or five hundred bucks. I scratched it out, made

917
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 7: it two hundred because I was a little hesitant. Anyways,

918
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 7: I should have gone with my original decision. He looked great, man,

919
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 7: He really looked really, really good, and I want to

920
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 7: see him against a higher level guy to get a

921
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 7: better gauge on how good he really is. But yeah,

922
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 7: I'm excited about his future.

923
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 2: Ken Flow obviously on a microphone, always used to talk

924
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 2: about finishes in his post fight interviews when he actually

925
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 2: had a Boston accent back in the day. And Steve

926
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 2: Garcia has talked a lot about finishes. Our fighter meetings.

927
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: Longest active UFC finished streaks right now, shovkott Rochmanov has

928
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 2: finished sixth straight opponents Joe Anderson, Brito five, Carlos Alberg five,

929
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 2: and then tied with four Steve Garcia and Bruno Silva.

930
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: So congratulations to a good dude, me and machine Steve Garcia.

931
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 2: And I know I'm just picking out one individual case,

932
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 2: but just to see a fighter Kenny sort of change

933
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 2: their lives financially when maybe they don't get off to

934
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 2: this amazing start in the UFC, and then to be

935
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: in this position out and get the bonus. It's like

936
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: I envisioned a lot of like tearful conversations with spouses.

937
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 3: Well.

938
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 7: And it's especially cool, John, because now you can invest

939
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 7: that much more into your training. Like when I got

940
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 7: to that level where I can go wait a sec

941
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 7: so I can travel here, I can bring guys in

942
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 7: for training. It just it takes everything up to the

943
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 7: next level again, when you eventually get to the level

944
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 7: of something like Balah Mohammed where you can bring in

945
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 7: a private shift to cook all your meals. These are

946
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 7: things that make your camps better and it makes you

947
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 7: better as a fighter. So these are the things you

948
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 7: can reinvest into yourself. And I imagine someone as serious

949
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 7: as Steve Garcia is going to be able to do

950
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 7: that now.

951
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 2: All right, So Jason and I got together and watched

952
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 2: Platinum Mike Perry and Jake Paul live on pay per view,

953
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: and gosh, there is so much written and said about

954
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 2: Jake Paul and about this fight, and uh, it just

955
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: drew sort of a wry smile from Kenflow there as

956
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 2: I brought up this boxing pay per view. So, Platinum

957
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 2: Mike Perry is a friend of mine. You know, I

958
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 2: blindly support that man on pay per view. This was

959
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 2: a mismatch. Perry twice in his post fight interview talked

960
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 2: about just the speed. There's definite boxing ability and power

961
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 2: and a lot of correct work being done by Jake Paul.

962
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 2: But Kenny, it is amazing to me when I go

963
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: to MMA fighting dot Com and the amount of content

964
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 2: on Jake Paul at these MMA websites such that he

965
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 2: must be driving some serious traffic. So I don't know

966
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 2: where you stand on Jake Paul as we sit here

967
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 2: mid July twenty twenty four, but this was another good

968
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: night for him, and i'd imagine, you know, sets him

969
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 2: up for another big payday and a lot more attention.

970
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 7: Well, you know the Ben Askrin fight aside, I believe

971
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 7: that was the only one that I picked Jake Paul

972
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 7: to win. But at a certain point you got to say, Okay,

973
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 7: well he's doing things right, not only in picking the

974
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 7: right fights right, picking the right opponents, but in the

975
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 7: way that he's preparing for these fights and the way

976
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 7: that he's executing quite frankly, and he's looking great. I

977
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 7: didn't see the whole fight. I saw the last finishing

978
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 7: sequence of their fight. But Mike Perry is a guy

979
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 7: who's gonna get in your face, and when you think

980
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 7: you have him hurt, he's gonna get right back into

981
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 7: your face and throw a shot that's probably gonna land,

982
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 7: that's gonna hurt you right back. And I think the

983
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 7: fact that Jake Paul was able to fight a guy

984
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 7: as dangerous as Mike Perry with that kind to the

985
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 7: style shows that you know, listen, this guy knows how

986
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 7: to strike man, and he was certainly the bigger guy

987
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 7: from what I could see he's doing. He's putting in

988
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 7: the work. There's no question about if there's a lot

989
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 7: of other things that he could do to make money.

990
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 7: Obviously very wealthy already, he doesn't need to do this,

991
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 7: but he's chosen to do this, and he's doing it

992
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 7: against some pretty dangerous guys and coming out to Victor,

993
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 7: and I think all you could do is kind of,

994
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 7: you know, clap your hands and go, well, good job, man,

995
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 7: You're doing it against some really badass dudes who've been

996
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 7: doing this a lot longer than you.

997
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I have a lot of respect for

998
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 2: Jake Paul and watching him like that, jab is quick.

999
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 2: He definitely looks faster than Mike Perry. But when Mike

1000
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 2: Perry's weighing in, I think at one ninety six trying

1001
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 2: to get up to two hundred and Jake Paul's cutting

1002
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: to two hundred whatever they are in fight night, Like,

1003
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 2: you know, the size just really makes a difference for me.

1004
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 2: And it's like, like, let Jamal Hill go in there,

1005
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 2: let's see how it goes, you know. But I respect

1006
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 2: Jake Paul up. But we got to talk. I mean

1007
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: that knockout in that third fight from the top. Yeah,

1008
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 2: we'll talk about the Lucas Body six round knockout. I

1009
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 2: think maybe Ray Longo might have seen that we are

1010
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 2: having some technical issues with Ray long Go. I think

1011
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: I'm actually hearing him fucking backstage right now. But when

1012
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: we get Ray, we'll get to him in a minute.

1013
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, like I try not to be too critical.

1014
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 2: I have been very supportive of Jake Paul as a worker,

1015
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of people who don't want to

1016
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: give him his due. A lot of people suggest performance

1017
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: enhancing drugs. But Kenny, Yeah, like every time I watch

1018
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 2: him compete, the dude he's competing with is either coming

1019
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: from another sport or half the fucking size. Like, so,

1020
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 2: I know he called out Alexi Padda, And I know

1021
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: there have been opponents of Jake Paul that have not

1022
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 2: been half his size, Anderson Silva and others, right, but like,

1023
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, man like Mike Perry in there is

1024
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 2: half as fast, probably half as naturally powerful, maybe twice

1025
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: as tough. But he looked half the fucking size. He's

1026
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 2: a UFC welterwig. Bro, you know, it's even money for

1027
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 2: a knockdown, for Mike Perry to get knocked down. Hay

1028
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: and Iverson play that shout out, hey give picks, But bro,

1029
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,479
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not Jake Paul's knock down everyone.

1030
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:09,919
Speaker 3: He's fun.

1031
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 2: Well, when you're you're you're like part time unemployed, what

1032
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 2: are you doing? Exactly? I said out after the fact,

1033
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 2: I should have invested, Like if I'm Ken Flow right now,

1034
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 2: ken Flow has partial free agency right now, sorry we're live.

1035
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 2: If that's like speaking out a turn, you know, But

1036
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 2: like Kenny leaves so much money on the table. He

1037
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 2: comes to Vegas, he's telling everybody like, dude, this alects

1038
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 2: PA data. This is like a unique money making opportunity,

1039
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 2: you know, And he made zero dollars on. So really

1040
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 2: well done with that?

1041
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 4: All right?

1042
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 2: Back to the Jake Call Mike Perry discussion in a moment.

1076
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 2: a few days out, but dude got to Manchester. I

1077
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 2: mean it's like you know John said to me yesterday, right,

1078
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 2: how he's reving his face. Well, no, I don't mind

1079
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 2: when you take the reins. I don't love when you

1080
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: transition completely off topic, but it's fine. Oh, we want

1081

Speaker 2: to talk about Jake Paul, Mike Perry. So Kenny John

1082
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 2: said to me, and I'm paraphrasing, you know, want to

1083
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 2: make sure that when I'm around Balal this week if

1084
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 2: I am just you know, he was like, you know,

1085
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,439
Speaker 2: less is more. He basically John doesn't want me around

1086
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 2: Blal rudded in my mouth all the time. And what

1087
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 2: I want to say to you is, like you see

1088
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 2: him on screen there, It's like, that's the last thing

1089
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: I'm worried about. He's just built differently like he you

1090
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 2: feel me, like his energy, he's genuinely relaxed. He's not

1091
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So I'm not concerned at

1092
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 2: all about my behavior you're around Balaal because that don't matter.

1093
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 2: That's not gonna matter Sunday morning.

1094
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 7: Well, I'll say this, he clearly is a competitor and

1095
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 7: he performs no matter what, and that usually is addicative

1096
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 7: of someone who keeps his composure and knows how to

1097
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 7: manage that stuff. So yeah, I agree, I agree. You know,

1098
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 7: like anytime someone else was fighting, I'd always kind of

1099
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 7: be a little bit more reserved, a little more, you know.

1100
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 7: I don't try not to get him too fired up.

1101
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 7: You know that that's my approach. But like everyone's different.

1102
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 7: But Belah is the kind of dude who I think

1103
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 7: is he's gonna he's gonna perform the way he performs,

1104
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 7: no matter what I.

1105
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 2: A I was gonna ask Ray Longo just about the

1106
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 2: people you surround yourself with, and Kenny, certainly, I was

1107
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 2: gonna bring you into that conversation because everybody brings a

1108
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 2: different energy or checks a different box. And Balaal has

1109
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 2: his brothers around. Obviously, Lewis Taylor provides tremendous energy. Obviously

1110
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 2: he likes whatever you bring to the table. Having you around,

1111
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 2: you know, I'd imagine you'd probably be like on call.

1112
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 2: If he wants you to come over the house and

1113
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 2: entertain him for a little bit, take your shirt off.

1114
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 2: Whatever you guys do, you'll do it, you know this, musy.

1115
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 2: But I'm not necessarily saying that I've been necessarily around

1116
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 2: him that ma sut and fight week. My point is

1117
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 2: just that I have so much confidence. Your point's well taken.

1118
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 2: But and yes I'm not going to be there in

1119
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 2: crazy mode. But you know it's it ain't gonna matter.

1120
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 2: You know, he's he's going to be ready to go.

1121
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 2: I can't wait. So in terms of hmm, Jake Paul

1122
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 2: and Mike Perry, because I just want to put a

1123
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 2: ball on this if I could. Is that okay? I

1124
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 2: know I'm alienating a certain segment of the fan base.

1125
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 2: Say whatever you will. I like you better on one

1126
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 2: point two to five speed. Let's go. So say what

1127
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 2: you will about Jake Paul's relative cleanliness, right, if you

1128
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 2: want to go down that path. I sometimes marvel at

1129
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 2: just how ready to go he always is. I mean,

1130
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 2: you can stick a mic in his face Kenny backstage

1131
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 2: before these big fights, and I don't know what it

1132
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 2: is that's allowing him to get into that perfectly proper

1133
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 2: mental frame of mind before these fights, but he seems

1134
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: to be able to rise to the occasion pretty fucking well.

1135
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 7: Go ahead, yeah, I mean, well, I was gonna say,

1136
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 7: I imagine a lot of the pressure is on the fighter,

1137
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 7: right because he's he's this guy, he's the YouTube guy,

1138
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 7: and uh, you know, there's no pressure on him. He's like,

1139
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 7: I'm fighting this dude, this is what he does. There's

1140
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 7: no pressure on me. I'm gonna hype this up the

1141
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 7: most that I can, and then I'm gonna do my

1142
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 7: best to knock him out. If it happens, great. If

1143
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 7: it doesn't, Oh, I just lost to the guy who's

1144
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 7: been fighting his whole life. There's no pressure on the dude,

1145
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 7: and I think that's what's what allows him to perform

1146
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 7: to a certain standpoint. And the fact that he's been

1147
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 7: on camera, you know, for so long. He knows how

1148
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 7: to turn it on, and I think there's Yeah, it's

1149
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 7: different than fighting, of course, but that mental element I

1150
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 7: think is similar. What's up Ray? Long ago?

1151
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 3: Oh man, with a rough morning so far?

1152
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't like the eleven fifteen am Eastern call time?

1153
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 5: How I couldn't No, I couldn't get the camera. The

1154
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 5: camera crapped out on the computer.

1155
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:01,919
Speaker 2: Well, just so you know, we'll take you any which

1156
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 2: way we can get you right, And this sounds and

1157
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 2: looks perfect. You know, we had Domina Cruz live from

1158
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 2: Mexico City and it was an unmitigated disaster. So we're

1159
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 2: glad to have the star of the show on. How

1160
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 2: are we doing?

1161
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 3: Ray? Good? Good?

1162
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:16,879
Speaker 5: And I want to thank you guys again for last

1163
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 5: week some of that old those old clips that was

1164
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 5: that was awesome.

1165
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 3: Man, he went back and did that was really good.

1166
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 3: Affect a lot of memories.

1167
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was nice to sort of celebrate I think

1168
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 2: the show and our listeners and our viewers and do

1169
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 2: something special for episode five hundred. And obviously our seam

1170
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 2: producer Cody Merrow had some tricks up his sleeve as well,

1171
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 2: so we appreciate that look back in time.

1172
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 3: Thanks so.

1173
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 2: So many different directions in which we could go. Jake,

1174
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 2: Paul Platinum, Mike Perry, you're shaking your head.

1175
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's a disgrace. I mean, I just

1176
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 5: don't get how people buy this bullshit. The guy has

1177
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 5: to cut down to two hundred, he's fighting a one

1178
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 5: seventy pound like he's never give the guy anybody in

1179
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 5: his weight in boxing ranked number forty three.

1180
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 3: I don't think he beats him.

1181
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 5: I just and he's getting better, but the weight difference

1182
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 5: is just I don't know how you do that and

1183
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 5: like even live with yourself, like you know what I mean,

1184
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 5: Like I want to beat up a guy forty pounds

1185
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 5: lighter than me.

1186
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

1187
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 5: Not only that and I might obviously toughest shit r.

1188
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 5: It was never known for his boxing skills. I mean

1189
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 5: with Jake's pulled geniuses is how he picks his fight.

1190
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 5: Now he's gonna have a sixty year old Mike Tyson.

1191
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 5: I don't know if he could win that fight. But again,

1192
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 5: well you're going to say you beat Mike Tyson. The

1193
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 5: guy's fifty nines. This is insanity, Like insanity doesn't make

1194
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 5: any sense. I mean, just I don't know how to

1195
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,280
Speaker 5: even athletic commissions even allowed his crap.

1196
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 3: I really don't.

1197
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 2: Well we don't talk about this a lot on the

1198
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 2: Anakin Florian podcast, but when Jake Paul and Mike Tyson

1199
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 2: was announced, everywhere I went for four weeks, that's all

1200
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 2: people wanted to ask me about, you know, and like

1201
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 2: it or not, kids on the playground or talking about

1202
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 2: Jake fucking Paul.

1203
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 9: Uh.

1204
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 2: But I bought the pay per view ray because Platinum

1205
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 2: Mike Perry is a friend, and also just because of

1206
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 2: his toughness, right, I bought the pay per view just

1207
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 2: to see what would happen. But yes, I think we're

1208
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 2: all in agreement. Like he just looks like a much

1209
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 2: smaller man. Yeah, go ahead.

1210
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, John, I think it's at this point.

1211
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 3: It's like, I guess it's on us at this point.

1212
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 5: And I would have bought that fight too, because I

1213
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 5: and I would have bought it for the same reason

1214
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 5: you said, because I know Mike Perry's tough. Maybe he

1215
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 5: gets in his face, but there's weight categories for a reason,

1216
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.

1217
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 2: And that's so that's why you didn't buy the fight

1218
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:42,439
Speaker 2: because of the weight.

1219
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no, I didn't buy the

1220
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 3: fight because I was Actually it was because.

1221
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 2: You're underpaid on the Annakin Floran pocket. No, definitely, it

1222
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 2: was sixty four ninety nine.

1223
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 3: So no, I would have that wouldn't have been I

1224
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 3: would have. I would have bought the fight. I was

1225
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 3: at Uh.

1226
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 5: I was at Sarah's house. He his fiftieth birthday and

1227
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 5: his daughter's birthday party. So we had a great time.

1228
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 5: And I think if I think if I would have

1229
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 5: even suggested that we all would have watched it because

1230
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 5: we were trying to watch the fights in between the

1231
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 5: party and all that stuff.

1232
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 3: But uh, we talked about it for sure, and I

1233
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 3: want to even see your Royal Hall fight right well,

1234
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 3: because we know these guys. So, like you say, that's

1235
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 3: the attraction.

1236
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 5: They get that crossover crowd, which I think is is

1237
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 5: genius too, you know what I mean, the guy one

1238
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 5: hundred percent. Listen, I'm giving the guy and a plus

1239
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 5: on marketing and what he's doing a plus, but I'm

1240
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 5: giving him a D minus on the way he picks

1241
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 5: those fights and how people react to it.

1242
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, as you ever. It's just it's crazy.

1243
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: I think.

1244
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 5: I just think it's insane. But I am happy people

1245
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 5: are making money. So let's go back, let's backtrack a

1246
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 5: little bit. If they can make a payday, I'm all

1247
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 5: for it. But this is crazy to me.

1248
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, that's how he's making it happen, right. It's

1249
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 7: like you get a fighter that you know you have

1250
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 7: a very good chance against and you make a very

1251
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 7: attractive payday for that fighter and they have to say yes.

1252
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 7: And that's what it comes down to. And for the

1253
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 7: people that are watching these fights, generally speaking, they're not

1254
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 7: the hardcore MMA combat sports fan. They're fans of Jake

1255
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 7: Paul or they hate Jake Paul. And then you get

1256
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 7: some of them that are Mike Perry fans, and you

1257
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 7: get guys that aren't so nuanced about the sport, and

1258
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 7: what they see is Jake Paul beating so and so fighter. Wow,

1259
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,439
Speaker 7: Jake Paul must be the man. They're not thinking about

1260
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 7: weight classes, they're not thinking about styles, they're not thinking

1261
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 7: about technique, they're not thinking about past combat sports history

1262
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 7: in regards to these guys. They're seeing the result and

1263
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 7: they say, give me more. However they want to see

1264
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 7: it when they want to see Jake Paul loser win.

1265
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 5: I I mean, if that's correct, that's correct. But I

1266
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 5: mean the people I talk that, we talk about it

1267
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 5: all the time. But you're right, the more people in

1268
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 5: to know. But you're right, if he's getting his youtubeers

1269
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 5: or whatever, you know, I'm definitely had a touch your

1270
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 5: all that crap. But if he's getting those people and

1271
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 5: they're not even thinking about that, yeah, right. The main

1272
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,439
Speaker 5: because you don't want paper, you know, you beat Mike

1273
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 5: Perry or on paper, you bet? You know Anderson Sylvia,

1274
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 5: you know he gets the name value right. It is insane.

1275
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 2: But some of it's like a basketball player beating a

1276
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 2: baseball player too. I mean, Mike Perry is not a

1277
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 2: professional boxer, right right, right, and would never be confused

1278
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 2: as such, Bare Knuckle is a tremendous setting for Perry's skills, style,

1279
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: and genetic gifts, and he has realized tremendous success. I

1280
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 2: love that this was a seven figure payday for him. Yes,

1281
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 2: and I love that we got to see the Lucas

1282
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Body six round knockout. That was maybe the knockout of

1283
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 2: the year. I'm not sure if you guys saw it,

1284
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 2: but yes, yeah, gosh was the boxing knockout of Oh

1285
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 2: my god, Like how to human beings? How impressive? I mean,

1286
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 2: where is doctor Gus Florian when you need him?

1287
01:00:59,320 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 7: Like?

1288
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 2: How impressed?

1289
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 7: I said?

1290
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 2: An organism is the human brain that you can survive

1291
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 2: that combination and like go home the next day, dude.

1292
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 7: The precision and power of all of those shots, Like

1293
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 7: as he's going down, he's still cracking him with some

1294
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 7: nasty shots. Every single one of those shots were knockouts,

1295
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 7: and he knocked him out on the first one and

1296
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 7: at least two more landed cleanly like a brutality dude.

1297
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Ray, So I have a lot of

1298
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 2: things I want to get into with you, and it's

1299
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 2: great to have you with us as always here on

1300
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,880

Speaker 2: by Draft Kings. Stay tuned because you will hear more

1302
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 2: about DraftKings and all has to offer throughout the show.

1303
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 2: Draft Kings. The Crown is yours. So later this week

1304
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 2: our full preview of UFC three to H four. Edwards v.

1305
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 2: Muhammad too. I'm curious, Raymond, how you feel about this

1306
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 2: main event and Blow Muhammad's relative chances against Leon compared

1307
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 2: to you know, guys like Covington and Neusman who have

1308
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 2: been opponents prior.

1309
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 9: Think.

1310
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 5: I like Blios chance, I think it doesn't. Blow is

1311
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 5: definitely a gamer. I mean he's been waiting for this.

1312
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 5: I think he's got motivation on his side. I think

1313
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 5: he's probably got a chip on his shoulder on his side.

1314
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 5: He's a dedicated guy. I think he's been right training

1315
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 5: with Kebeebe every so often or whatever. But he he

1316
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 5: looks like he's in the right spot at the right time.

1317
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, there wasn't much to tell

1318
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 5: from the list because that I poked happened pretty early. Yeah,

1319
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 5: but I think Blial's got to make it a dirty fight,

1320
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,919
Speaker 5: which I think he could do. And uh, I see

1321
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 5: the gas tank being a big factor in this fight.

1322
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 7: Oh we have another big fight ray, another one that

1323
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 7: that ended early first time around when Aspinall hurt his

1324
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 7: knee against Curtis Blades. I'm pumped for this one. How

1325
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 7: do you see this one going down? Dude?

1326
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 5: Ah man, I think Aspinall's I gotta go with Aspinall

1327
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 5: on this. I think he's got, you know, more ways

1328
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 5: to win, you know, Curtis. I mean, yeah, Blades has

1329
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 5: to do what he always does is go take down

1330
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 5: if to take down and make it that type of fight,

1331
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 5: and I guess he could do it.

1332
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 3: But Aspinall is a big dude.

1333
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 5: He's probably going to be hard to hold down if

1334
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 5: you could even you know, get there, and you know,

1335
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 5: if he's on top of I think that's a problem.

1336
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 3: So Aspinal looks like he's he's the man right now.

1337
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 5: You know, Blades has been around for a while and

1338
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 5: I'm sure that's going to play into it too, But

1339
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 5: I'm going with Aspinall on that.

1340
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 2: All right, and one more fight on pay per view.

1341
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 2: I just want to ask you about Patty Pimblet taking

1342
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 2: on King Green. So I know Jim Miller is at

1343
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 2: whatever stage of his career he is at, and perhaps

1344
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 2: I'm overstating what I saw at UFC three hundred out

1345
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 2: of King Green. But he looked like the fucking fastest

1346
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 2: guy on the roster, almost Matrix esque, avoiding shots and

1347
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 2: landing shots of his own. He's this slight favorite here

1348
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 2: against Patty Pimblet Ray Pimblet five and zero the UFC,

1349
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 2: but twenty one and three is a pro So maybe

1350
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 2: more experience than people think. Feel like a lot of

1351
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 2: people see betting opportunity on both sides of this fight.

1352
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 2: You like Patty Pimblet or King Green this weekend?

1353
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 5: I definitely like Bobby king Green in this. I don't

1354
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 5: I don't see you know, uh, you know, Pimblet's got

1355
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 5: to get that fight to the floor. I mean his

1356
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 5: chin is way up in the air. I think Bobby

1357
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 5: will expose that, but uh, you know, grappling. I think

1358
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 5: you know, you you know, Bobby's arrested. I'm going with

1359
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 5: Bobby Green on this. I don't see it going any

1360
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 5: other way. I think Jared Gordon beat him, and I

1361
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 5: think Bobby Green's definitely gonna beat him.

1362
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, you heard that he dropped the Bobby officially,

1363
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 2: so he's now King Green or no?

1364
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he I think you told me on

1365
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 3: one of the podcasts. Yeah, we have to refer to

1366
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 3: him as King Green.

1367
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I got it out of my system. I

1368
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 2: did a lot of media last week, and uh I

1369
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 2: dropped four Bobby's. Yeah. Today, I've been pretty clean calling

1370
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 2: him King Green. I'm hoping that it'll get me on

1371
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 2: a good track for Saturday Night.

1372
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1373
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 2: But Ray, you know what his focus is gonna be.

1374
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 2: It's gonna be giving ship to anyone who says fucking

1375
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 2: Bobby always. Right, So antenna is up, you say, Bobby

1376
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 2: the fucking King Green police all fucking week. That's what's

1377
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 2: gonna be.

1378
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 3: Listen.

1379
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 5: He's gotta give us a little time to adjust now,

1380
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 5: exactly instantly, exactly a couple of months or something.

1381
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 7: But I guess right now is a good time for

1382
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 7: me to announce that my name has been changed from

1383
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 7: Kenny to Ninja Son at all times, right.

1384
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 3: Ye, I'm going with my original birth name, pig E. Jackson.

1385
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 1: There you go.

1386
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 2: So I'm reading from our private chat producer Cody Merrow

1387
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 2: call Ray out on him not being Bobby King Green.

1388
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 2: Who's Bobby?

1389
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 3: Right?

1390
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 2: So for the record, so Cody's in your police force too,

1391
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 2: All right?

1392
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 3: Cool?

1393
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 2: By Ray. I have a few other items I would

1394
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 2: like to get to with you if I could. Sean O'Malley,

1395
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 2: Morob Dwallash Willie, we don't have a date, but the

1396
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 2: expectation is that this fight is going to happen at

1397
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 2: some point in the next twelve to sixteen weeks, and

1398
01:05:56,120 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 2: at least right now there aren't widely available betting lines,

1399
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:02,439
Speaker 2: but your guy, my Rob Dallace Willy is a slight

1400
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 2: betting favorite. Dominic Cruz came on earlier. He does like

1401
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 2: the matchup for Sean O'Malley, He didn't necessarily give a

1402
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 2: hard prediction. Will you bring in athletes that do not

1403
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 2: exist depending on where Morab is if he's in New

1404
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 2: York for a time or Vegas, right to try to

1405
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 2: emulate this fast pinpoint striker Sean O'Malley.

1406
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 5: I mean, look, if it was me, I would one

1407
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 5: hundred percent bring in somebody. But I think he's going

1408
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 5: to be out in Vegas. I'll be out there in

1409
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 5: two weeks. I told him i'd talk to him, so

1410
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 5: I mean i'd see him. But I'm sure John woodhell, definitely,

1411
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 5: they're going to have to bring in somebody, big fight,

1412
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 5: like you know, these are the fights. You reach out,

1413
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 5: you grab whoever you think is the closest type of

1414
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 5: guy to Amalley, And it could be just a straight

1415
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 5: up boxer.

1416
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you know, you know what I mean.

1417
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 3: So he needs a tall, lanky guy with the range.

1418
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean, Julian he ROAs is a body I know

1419
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 2: that's on that team and that is out there, but

1420
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 2: he's not nearly as fast as shot On. I just

1421
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 2: feel like, isn't this the type of guy that commands

1422
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 2: like a specialized training camp or do I not know

1423
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about?

1424
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 3: No, No, I agree with you. One.

1425
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 5: You got to get a guy with great because look,

1426
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 5: his footwork is great. He's a sharpshooter.

1427
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 3: You know. My my gut right now is that Morob

1428
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 3: probably will eat that get what he wants.

1429
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 5: And if that, you know, as time goes on, just

1430
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 5: take away to power just by grinding him out. Uh

1431
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 5: you know, he's not going to stop unless you kill him.

1432
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 5: I mean that's a that's a fact. So he's got

1433
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 5: to put him out. But uh, I'm saying I think

1434
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 5: he's I think he's trickier than people think, you know,

1435
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 5: because he's very unorthodox on his feet and he does

1436
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 5: have power to get respect. I wouldn't think that's the

1437
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 5: right way to go, but uh, he's he's definitely no slouch.

1438
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 5: If he gets his shot to crack you, he can't

1439
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 5: hurt you. Yeah, So uh mixing that with just you know,

1440
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 5: it's all going to be timing on this, right. You know,

1441
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 5: you got to get past those strikes and you got

1442
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 5: to be able to cut off the octagon.

1443
01:07:58,080 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 7: So I do.

1444
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 3: Like mourn I listen, I love Morob in this fight.

1445
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see it all right before I

1446
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 2: let you go. And I want to get Kenny's thoughts

1447
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 2: on this as well. So in terms of the people

1448
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 2: you surround yourself with during these fight weeks, especially the

1449
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 2: big fight weeks can be critical, right, whether it's an

1450
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 2: AIRB and B and you you all are together, or

1451
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 2: maybe your badil dar you staying at the host hotel

1452
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 2: with your two infant children in your standard hotel room, right,

1453
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 2: there's a lot of different ways that people go about it, right.

1454
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 2: I know there were times where when I was around

1455
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 2: Kenny in Boston, I was very nervous to like say

1456
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 2: the wrong thing, you know, So I'm just curious Ray

1457
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 2: and then Kenny if I could get your thoughts on

1458
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 2: the back end, Like, have there been situations Ray where

1459
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 2: you're like, dude, we got to get this guy away

1460
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,640
Speaker 2: from my fucking athlete right now, Like his energy is

1461
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 2: just not good.

1462
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 5: You know, I listen, I have to think about it,

1463
01:08:56,600 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 5: but I'm sure that one hundred happened. My recall isn't good.

1464
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 5: But there are those guys get cut out pretty quick.

1465
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, especially when like back in the day,

1466
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 5: if it was me and Sarah, I mean, you're just

1467
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 5: you're not lasting long that for sure.

1468
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 3: Now it's a little different.

1469
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 5: Guys are kind of you know, not going their own way,

1470
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 5: but you know, they have their training pontners and I

1471
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 5: think they're pretty squared away at the at this point,

1472
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 5: you know, but those guys never really last long. The

1473
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 5: guys that jump in there, and there's definitely people that

1474
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 5: have been around that shouldn't be around, but they one

1475
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 5: hundred percent keep their mouths shut. There's no question about it,

1476
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 5: you know, because everybody's got that lackey that wants to

1477
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 5: be in the fucking hot tub with you.

1478
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1479
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:42,640
Speaker 3: Oh no, it's it's out there. If you give me

1480
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 3: time to think, I mean, I probably wouldn't do it anyway.

1481
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings at this point.

1482
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 5: But yet there's there's a hundred you know, there's guys

1483
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 5: with money that want to get in there and just

1484
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 5: yeah their face.

1485
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 3: So it's pretty, it's pretty.

1486
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 5: It could be pretty brutal, you know, but you know

1487
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 5: we I think we always did a good job, but

1488
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 5: getting rid of those guys quickly.

1489
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ken Flow, what do you got?

1490
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I could say, you know, I've made certain

1491
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 7: mistakes where I had just way too many people around

1492
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 7: and it just becomes draining and you're preparing for a fight.

1493
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 7: You kind of want to just chill. I I kind

1494
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 7: of learned, Alright, I'm gonna keep my you know circle,

1495
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 7: pretty small guys that are in the camp, and that's it.

1496
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:20,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

1497
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 7: But you know, sometimes you organize these oh let's hey,

1498
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 7: we want to set up a huge dinner for you

1499
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 7: and this and that, and forty people show up and

1500
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 7: it's just like, you know, your head's just on a

1501
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 7: swivel and things are going crazy and everyone's trying to

1502
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 7: talk to you, and you have to fight. You have

1503
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 7: to compete the next day. So you know, I certainly

1504
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 7: have made that mistake, and over time you realize, hey,

1505
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 7: I want to keep this this circle pretty small just

1506
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 7: because it could be a little draining. And there's enough

1507
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 7: that happens based on you know, the fight week, the

1508
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:51,640
Speaker 7: camp uh, the weight cut, you know, the media obligations

1509
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 7: where you kind of want to just slow things, yeah

1510
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 7: down a little bit.

1511
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I think you're right, Canny. And I'll tell you.

1512
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 3: The thing with the uh, you're bringing up an entry point.

1513
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 5: Depending on the size of the guy's family and everything,

1514
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 5: those dinners could be oh yeah, and I'll tell you

1515
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 5: and I I'm not really in favor of him. It's

1516
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 5: become kind of a tradition. I mean lately it's been

1517
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 5: getting you know, smaller and smaller, which I think is good.

1518
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 5: But I guess it's an individual thing. If some people

1519
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,520
Speaker 5: want to be surrounded by their friends from the neighborhood,

1520
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 5: the old neighborhood and whatever, but the dinner thing, you know,

1521
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 5: then who gets offended? You know, we invited this point,

1522
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 5: this thing didn't go you know, I've even seen it

1523
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 5: with like in laws and parents and that one. Oh yeah,

1524
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 5: really tricky. I've been I've been up and down on

1525
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:40,679
Speaker 5: that one with you know, We've had big dinners, small dinners.

1526
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 5: But I'll tell you for Chris is last fight, it

1527
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 5: was very small, and I think somebody mentioned to me

1528
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 5: that a couple of people got offended. But I think

1529
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 5: that's the way he wanted. I think that was the

1530
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,839
Speaker 5: way to go. You know, he has his immediate family,

1531
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 5: you know, me and my wife and maybe and you know,

1532
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 5: maybe his manager. But it was it was small, and

1533
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 5: I do I like, just focus on the guy.

1534
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the reason he's bringing it up is

1535
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 2: because he thinks I'm bringing like a full clown show

1536
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 2: to wherever Balal is in Mancha. He thinks I'm gonna

1537
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 2: like land on the ground text Bolla'll be like, where

1538
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 2: are you at man and like show up with like

1539
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 2: a fucking ice cream truck or something. He's so worried

1540
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 2: about me. Yes, literally, where you at Balao? Where's dinner tonight?

1541
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 2: Like I go there and I'm with John, like I'm

1542
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 2: with the broadcast. Don't worry.

1543
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 3: So at this point, let's just tell you, Jason, stay

1544
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 3: away from that guy.

1545
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 2: Jay brings overwhelmingly good energy to Balaal. I'm just having fun.

1546
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:46,759
Speaker 2: And Ray you just said this is a very interesting

1547
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 2: point and conversation for you. Right, I'm trying to make

1548
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 2: the Ray Longo minute interesting for you because sometimes I

1549
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 2: will open endedly bring up a topic and you will say,

1550
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 2: what's the question? Or I'll ask you something about your

1551
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 2: haircut or your wife or your daughter's and you'll direct

1552
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 2: it right to mixed martial arts. So I know a

1553
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 2: lot of people think I'm insufferable, but like I prepared

1554
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:10,520
Speaker 2: for the Ray long Go Minute to have this conversation

1555
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 2: and you found it interesting. So I rest my case.

1556
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 3: Well, you hate when I say what's the question?

1557
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1558
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, he hates it.

1559
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well listen, this was a direct question. It

1560
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 3: was good.

1561
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 2: I'm having a great time.

1562
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 7: Around man.

1563
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 3: It's very ambiguous. Sometimes it's ambiguous. I need direction. What

1564
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 3: am I going to tell you?

1565
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 2: When I got the vibe from Ken Flow during his

1566
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 2: fight weeks that, like, you know, when I was around that,

1567
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 2: you know, he isn't looking for like a bunch of

1568
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 2: people to be hanging on, right, that's all you know.

1569
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 2: But you're not one of those people. You're an inner

1570
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 2: circle guy, right, No, p'sition right, Like I think back

1571
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 2: to May when Balow fought Gilbert Burns, right, and he

1572
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 2: was super calm, relaxed walking around. I had no idea

1573
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 2: he had a foot injury going in, you know, until

1574
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 2: we saw some pictures. You just never know what someone

1575
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 2: has going on. I haven't been part of blows fight.

1576
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 2: We look, we're going overseas. He's fighting for a belt.

1577
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 2: It's it's a you know, I'm not thinking about myself.

1578
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I just can't wait. I can't wait.

1579
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 5: I mean, John, I gotta tell you after this, I'm

1580
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 5: really leaning towards Edwards.

1581
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, the crab, me too, me too.

1582
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 2: We'll see if you can get it done. This weekend,

1583
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 2: ray Longo, your Instagram, at least one of them, just

1584
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 2: continues to be fucking hack City.

1585
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 4: Man.

1586
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 2: I feel so bad, you know.

1587
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:43,839
Speaker 3: So I hope this guy's proud of himself.

1588
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 2: Well, you know, he's celebrating our five hundred episode and

1589
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 2: it's like, dude, you're not Ray Longo. Wow, but he's

1590
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 2: not Ray long go Mma. So uh, the real article

1591
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 2: Ray Longo is on x dot com. I think that's

1592
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 2: really where you can have the best social media back

1593
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 2: and forth and interaction with Raymond.

1594

01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,040
Speaker 2: Do you tell Maddie you just talked to George Saint

1626
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 2: Pierre a few days back, told me he was nice

01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 2: all the time.

Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, this was a peaceful There was

1629
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 3: no swords drawn. This was a very peaceful birthday party.

1630
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 2: Well, we had Chris Widman booked on the five hundred

1631
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 2: episode to surprise you at the back end of the

1632
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 2: Ray Longo minute. But I kind of butchered the clock

1633
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 2: and I got you out and then he came on.

1634
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:32,680
Speaker 5: Oh I went back and watched it. Yeah, you got

1635
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 5: him with that one hundred and seventy five thousand. Man,

1636
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:35,759
Speaker 5: he wasn't happy.

1637
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 2: Yeah right, oh yeah, I love you brought nice number.

1638
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 2: Nice number. That was a terrible number obviously, you.

1639
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 3: Know, did you see his face joke?

1640
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, terrible number, terrible number.

1641
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. He chews in on that stuff real quick, like

1642
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 3: I think he was sleeping. You said, one hundred and

1643
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 3: seventy five thousand, jump through the screen and choke you.

1644
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that was uh confortable. He alday saw

1645
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 2: the episode where you were putting your fingers out talking

1646
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 2: about them cheating, and.

1647
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 7: It gave me a number of sixty five hundred long ago.

1648
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 7: So got a big deal.

1649
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 3: Well that the thing you gave him one seventy five venues.

1650
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:16,759
Speaker 3: He said, well, Kenny's number is three fifty.

1651
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ken Flow's numbers three hundred thousand the show. It

1652
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 2: sounds like Wideman's number for a celebrity boxing event. It's

1653
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 2: like seven hundred and fifty thousand to show. And I

1654
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,560
Speaker 2: wish you guys all the best in go chasing it

1655
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 2: and you'll probably get it. You know, I had a

1656
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 2: bad number. I am on a microphone a lot, and

1657
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:38,640
Speaker 2: there's a lot of chance for forgettable utterances. That was

1658
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 2: one of them. I refer to him as broken earlier

1659
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 2: in the interview, and I was just trying to sort

1660
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 2: of he liked to talk about, like, yeah, his leg.

1661
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 2: But obviously some of the listeners thought I was taking

1662
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 2: a shot at him there, which obviously was.

1663
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 4: Not the case.

1664
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 3: So what did Mike Perry get for that fight? Do

1665
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 3: we know?

1666
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 7: I think a millik great question.

1667
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 2: I would imagine he got at least one million.

1668
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 3: Dollars man, I'll tell you see, that's what I'm saying.

1669
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 3: You can't argue with the paydays though, yeah.

1670
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 2: Man, And a few years ago you're seeing Mike Perry

1671
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 2: like shattering glass on Instagram live and shout out to

1672
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 2: his wife because she was in his corner back in

1673
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 2: the day when he was sort of at rock bottom. Dude,

1674
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 2: I get a lot of pride watching them to walk

1675
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 2: out and where he's sort of taking a lot of

1676
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:25,719
Speaker 2: these fighters don't necessarily achieve. He was achieving financial independence

1677
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 2: before this fight to some extent, I think, go ahead, right, Sorry, he's.

1678
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,679
Speaker 5: An absolute success story because I don't think anybody saw

1679
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 5: that coming where he was gonna you know, I guess

1680
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 5: there was no band knuckle at one point. But yeah,

1681
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 5: he's really done fantastic for himself given on where he was,

1682
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:47,799
Speaker 5: you know, in the UFC. He's a one success story.

1683
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 2: I talk a lot about fighters realizing financial freedom. We

1684
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 2: talked about Steve Garcia earlier, right with four straight wins,

1685
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 2: now a guy who maybe was fighting for his job

1686
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 2: five fights ago. Looks like there are ranging reports out there,

1687
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 2: but that Mike Perry reportedly pocketed six hundred thousand dollars

1688
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 2: for a fight with Iciago Alvez for that bare knuckle event,

1689
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 2: and then looks like sports keda dot com reporting that

1690
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 2: Perry could make approximately two million dollars for the Jake

1691
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 2: Paul fight, and even King Green right just when you

1692
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 2: think about where Bobby was a few years ago. There

1693
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 2: I did it, but where king was a few years ago?

1694
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 2: You know, when I was actually going to name my son,

1695
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 2: Kingston was on the short list. I wish we had

1696
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 2: maybe gone with Cain, although I think he's too soft

1697
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 2: to be a cane.

1698
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,639
Speaker 3: But don't you want to mind that kid?

1699
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1700
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 2: Exactly, Hey, Ray, how many hall of fames are you in?

1701
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 5: Uh?

1702
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1703
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to say you don't know, so at least one.

1704
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 3: I'm going to say it is one? Yeah, one?

1705
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 2: What hall of fame is that?

1706
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 3: I think Jersey believe in that. Although I'm not a

1707
01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame guy, so I never attended.

1708
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 5: Someday every he hates me for it, but uh yeah,

1709
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,679
Speaker 5: I'm not a I'm just not one of those guys.

1710
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:06,640
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.

1711
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 2: Can somebody on social media please reach out to me

1712
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 2: and let me know what hall of fame? Ray Longo

01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 2: is and Ken Flow? You in any hall of fame?

1714
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 3: Tell you it's the New Jersey Hall of Fame.

1715
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 7: It's something like yeah, like the New England or Massachusetts

1716
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 7: MMA Hall of Fame, something like that. Again, same thing.

1717
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 7: I didn't show up, so.

1718
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, John, I could have been in ten. You know,

1719
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 3: he always send you something. But I listen. The only

1720
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:29,720
Speaker 3: hall of fame I.

1721
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:31,679
Speaker 5: Would ever go, and it would be the UFC, because

1722
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 5: I think, you know, I had a great run doing

1723
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 5: what I did and that that's it. But the other

1724
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 5: stuff I don't know. Yeah, yeah, it's it's not what

1725
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 5: you think it is.

1726
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 2: Well, Daniel Cormier is going to join us here in

1727
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 2: a few minutes. He's in a lot of hall of

1728
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 2: fames himself, but he was just inducted, I believe, into

1729
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 2: the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. And he was calling

1730
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 2: fights on the night upon which his induction was to happen.

1731
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,680
Speaker 2: So while you mma guys, you know, you guys get

1732
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:57,600
Speaker 2: in sounds like these guys get inducted into hall of

1733
01:20:57,640 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 2: fames and they don't show up for the ceremony. So

1734
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:01,800
Speaker 2: if anybody wants to put me into a Hall of

1735
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 2: fame one day, I would probably show up, be there

1736
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:08,000

1759
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:08,360

1760
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 2: with you last Saturday for Viena Kakara Doba. But you

1761
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 2: know they remember I show up, you know, Hey, so

1762
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 2: so you posted something on your social media about the

1763
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 2: Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and then I was like, hey, man,

1764
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 2: I'd like to go to this induction ceremony to support

1765
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 2: and then You're like, it was last night, so your

1766
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 2: schedule didn't allow you to be there.

1767
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 3: No, it sucks, man, I was working. It was Uh,

1768
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 3: we were out in Saudi Arabia.

1769
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 9: You remember that that sauna.

1770
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:37,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're.

1771
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 9: In Saudi Arabia. Won the count when it happened, it

1772
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 9: kind of that was terrible. Man, that's once the lifetime thing.

1773
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 9: I wish I got to go.

1774
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, so uh, a few questions and then I'm gonna

1775
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 2: let kem flo in and then we'll let you get

1776
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 2: on your way. I want to get into UFC three

1777
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:57,480
Speaker 2: oh four. But before that, Anderson Ord, your golf commercial

1778
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 2: is outstanding, objectively out stated. I'm not saying this as

1779
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 2: your friend, right, but you don't necessarily want to act

1780
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:08,720
Speaker 2: or do movies, despite some of those opportunities coming your

1781
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:12,439
Speaker 2: way and people talking about you and sir Charles Barkley

1782
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 2: type terms.

1783
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 4: You don't.

1784
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 2: You have a tremendous comedic sense. You don't seemingly want

1785
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 2: to act though.

1786
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 9: Really no, I don't know. I don't really want to act,

1787
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:22,720
Speaker 9: but it's okay. Hey John, and speaking of Anderson Nord,

1788
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 9: look what I just got.

1789
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:30,760
Speaker 3: You go do the.

1790
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, No, it's just it's just not something that

1791
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 9: I've wanted to do. I mean, i'd be I guess

1792
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 9: I would try it. I just had a bad experience

1793
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,639
Speaker 9: early in my career that I didn't like. And sometimes

1794
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 9: one experience can form you and uh, that's kind of

1795
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:50,560
Speaker 9: what happened to me. I had that bad experience and

1796
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 9: I just took so fricking low.

1797
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 3: Well you can cuss from this night here. You It

1798
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:57,719
Speaker 3: just took so fucking long.

1799
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 9: I would sit around for hours just not doing nothing.

1800
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:01,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, what is this shit?

1801
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 9: Man, I ain't doing my wrestling career. My wrestling career.

1802
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 9: They always say when you're internationally wrestling, you hurry up

1803
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 9: and you wait, you hurry up and you wait. And

1804
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 9: I was just done hurry up and wait, man, I

1805
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 9: can't and that's what movie sets look like.

1806
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 2: So I was out, all right, I only have one

1807
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 2: fight related question for you and then I'm gonna send

1808
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,600
Speaker 2: it to Ken Flow. So we have Bilah Muhammad on

1809
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 2: the show. A couple of weeks ago. He made a

1810
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 2: cameo today and I'm not asking you a question. It's

1811
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 2: an open ended statement and you can say what you want.

1812
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 2: I know you're calling the fight, but here's my statement.

1813
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 2: Blao doesn't think Leon seemingly is as good as you

1814
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 2: and I do.

1815
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 3: You know what's kind of crazy.

1816
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 9: I was actually just talking to Sports Illustrated about something

1817
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 9: John and I said, I hope Leon Edwards doesn't think

1818
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 9: he's fighting the same belal Mohammed from before. So I

1819
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 9: think we're in a situation where both of these guys

1820
01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 9: are looking at the other going, well, he ain't what

1821
01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 9: he supposed to be. Because when I hear Leon Edwards

1822
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 9: talk about the competition, I hear a guy that kind

1823
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 9: of it feels like Rocky expects the Belaw that he

1824
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 9: kicked in the head in round one of the first

1825
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,560
Speaker 9: fight and that he was kind of beating. That's not

1826
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 9: the same Bal Mohammed. But I know balal Mohammad needs

1827
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 9: to recognize that it's not the same Leon Edwards. Now,

1828
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 9: we saw Leon Edwards change from Fighting one to Fight

1829
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:26,719
Speaker 9: two against Kamara Uswan. We saw Leon Edwards make Kobe Covington.

1830
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 9: I mean, he looked old. He made Kobe look old

1831
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 9: in one fight. So both of these guys are much

1832
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 9: better than they are the first time. And I truly

1833
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 9: believe that this is all gamesmanship. Boys, we're getting to

1834
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:41,880
Speaker 9: that point, kid blow whereas the gamesman ship starts to

1835
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 9: show on where you insult the guy to make yourself

1836
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 9: feel a little more confident going into the competition.

1837
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, it definitely could be a recipe for disaster

1838
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 7: if either of those guys are thinking that way. I

1839
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 7: remember I underestimated Gray Majerd. I was like, ah, I'm

1840
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 7: gonna kill Grey Maner. He looked like crap against I's

1841
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 7: I'm gonna smoke this dude didn't go my way? DC,

1842
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 7: What do you think about aspinall Man? You face the

1843
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 7: best of the best the headweight division, a lot of

1844
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 7: the guys that were truly truly elite, and of course

1845
01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 7: a lot of guys like John Jones, a lot of

1846
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 7: people believe as a goat. What do you think about

1847
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 7: Aspinall's I guess potential to maybe be the goat? I mean,

1848
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 7: not a whole lot of guys have that level of athleticism.

1849
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:25,640
Speaker 9: Well, he's just he's so big, he's so strong, and

1850
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 9: he seems to have a very well wounded the skill set.

1851
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 9: You know, we have seen this guy submit people. We

1852
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 9: have seen this guy knock people out. We see him

1853
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 9: just continue to improve and evolve, and every single time

1854
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:40,640
Speaker 9: he goes out there, kid fold, he gets better. And

1855
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 9: I think he's getting better because he's training with the.

1856
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 7: Right guys now.

1857
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 9: He said that now he has a full heavyweight camp.

1858
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 9: No more small guys on his gym team. It's all

1859
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,719
Speaker 9: big guys as he prepares to fight even bigger guys.

1860
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:58,639
Speaker 9: So I think this dude is I think he's good man.

1861
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 9: I think he's really really good, and I think that

1862
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,040
Speaker 9: he has potential to be the face of his division

1863
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 9: for a long time.

1864
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 7: Patty Pimblet is facing King Green. If he's able to

1865
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 7: beat someone like King Green, do you think he finally

1866
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 7: gets some respect?

1867
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 9: You know, I think a lot of the respect comes

1868
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:21,720
Speaker 9: down to, Uh, he made some mistakes. Flow, he made

1869
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:25,680
Speaker 9: some mistakes in the media. He made some mistakes when

1870
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 9: he said I won that fight when he might he

1871
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 9: might not have, you know, but he recognizes it. He

1872
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 9: went back and said John after he said, I'll never

1873
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 9: make such a sure statement in the moment again, after

1874
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,760
Speaker 9: what I felt after doing that in that fight, so

1875
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 9: he's learned, but I think it will take.

1876
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 7: This is the test. This is the test.

1877
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 9: Every young athlete has that test where you find out

1878
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 9: if they're real. This is the test for Patty Pemblet.

1879
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 9: If he gets to King Green, we will know that

1880
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 9: he's the real deal. But I mean Grant Dawson looked

1881
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 9: like the real deal until he ran into King Green

1882
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 9: and look at what happened to good.

1883
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 2: Point, Well, how about this stretch for Daniel Cormier ufc

1884
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 2: Apex last Saturday, Manchester, Abu Dhabi. Then you get a

1885
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 2: week off but not really and then you go to Perth,

1886
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 2: Western Australia.

1887
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:14,360
Speaker 3: Bro, it's crazy.

1888
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 7: It's crazius, man, I said, I said, they're trying to

1889
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 7: kill me. They put them, they put it.

1890
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 9: They put a gun to the boy's head and said

1891
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 9: you died to day DC, you died a month.

1892
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:25,759
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

1893
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 4: All right.

1894
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get you out of here on this because

1895
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 2: I know your time is precious and I'm not trying

1896
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:31,559
Speaker 2: to put you on the spot. But I did mention

1897
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,600
Speaker 2: to you privately about some of the shortcomings of this

1898
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 2: boxing pay per view this weekend. Now, there were shining

1899
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 2: moments I thought for fighters and broadcasters alike, and far

1900
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:42,640
Speaker 2: be it from maybe you and me as pay per

1901
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 2: view broadcasters, to give our opinion on another telecast. But

1902
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 2: we go to such great lengths to make sure that

1903
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:51,599
Speaker 2: that dead air is not dead. And I know you can,

1904
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:54,719
Speaker 2: you know, play video games and do other things, but dude,

1905
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 2: I felt myself at times watching this pay per view

1906
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 2: just wanting to punch myself in the fucking face.

1907
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 7: It's not it's just not.

1908
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 9: Honestly, like some of these different teams, they go with

1909
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 9: an idea of what they're supposed to say, and when

1910
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 9: they run out of things to say, they don't really

1911
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 9: have much to say. And I think that's kind of

1912
01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 9: what happened last weekend. Yeah, it's very surprising that that

1913
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:19,839
Speaker 9: still happens.

1914
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:22,759
Speaker 2: I agree in twenty twenty four exactly.

1915
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 3: It wasn't that bad in nineteen eighty.

1916
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:29,600
Speaker 9: I mean, sometimes that's just bade and last WEEKND was

1917
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 9: one of those times. These guys are gonna want to

1918
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:32,280
Speaker 9: kick our asses.

1919
01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:32,840
Speaker 4: But loo.

1920
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 3: Fight baby.

1921
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:38,280
Speaker 2: All right, buddy, I'll see you, I'll see it. I'll

1922
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 2: see you in like thirty six hours. Have a safe

1923
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,519
Speaker 2: trip to a high We'll see on Wednesday morning.

1924
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:44,440
Speaker 7: Champ, thank you all right, my brothers.

1925
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:50,400
Speaker 2: YouTube channel, Daniel Cormier's YouTube channel, go subscribe right now.

1926
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:53,880
Speaker 2: Thanks to DC for joining us for our UFC three

1927
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 2: h four preview. I don't know if you have anything

1928
01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:59,559
Speaker 2: Jay to say as far as that boxing pay per

1929
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 2: view was concerned. I'm trying to open in a very

1930
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 2: respectful way. I sent Todd Grisham a private message. I

1931
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 2: thought he was outstanding as the play by play guy,

1932
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 2: had a long conversation with Tyron Woodley. I thought, really

1933
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:16,680
Speaker 2: he shined in moments. But obviously our pay per view

1934
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,720
Speaker 2: broadcast on the UFC side has been very evolutionary, and

1935
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 2: especially when you're on for seven eight hours, you want

1936
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 2: to try to make it as watchable as possible, right,

1937
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 2: But it's really challenging in combat sports when you don't

1938
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 2: know how long a fight is going to go and

1939
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 2: you have filler scenarios. But it made me think, and

1940
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:38,400
Speaker 2: this has nothing to do with my job, really appreciatively

1941
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:40,840
Speaker 2: about the UFC pay per view telecast, Kenny, I don't

1942
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:43,160
Speaker 2: know if you or Jay have anything.

1943
01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 4: On that.

1944
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:47,639
Speaker 7: I see. I didn't see the fight, so I really

1945
01:30:48,200 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 7: there was just a lot of dead air between you know.

1946
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:52,720
Speaker 2: For me, it's like they say, the National Football League

1947
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 2: on television is so good that you could argue it

1948
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 2: better than going to a game live, right, And a

1949
01:30:57,080 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 2: lot of the UFC pay per views over the years

1950
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 2: I've gone on to rather than taken in the broadcast.

1951
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:05,320
Speaker 2: And when I do watch these international pay per views

1952
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 2: forgetting you right, because you're okay, you know, but everything

1953
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 2: other than no, it really is just very well polished.

1954
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 2: And you notice that if a little thing goes wrong

1955
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:16,680
Speaker 2: on a UFC broadcast, you're like whoa, whoa, Well, you

1956
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:18,559
Speaker 2: know what I mean. But it's just clean. And also, yeah,

1957
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 2: it keeps you energized, you know. And on the East

1958
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 2: Coast at one thirty in the morning, I need some juice.

1959
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:28,679
Speaker 2: The reasons I mean, Dana White, Craig Borsorry Zat, Candido Lappy,

1960
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:32,759
Speaker 2: laplant On and on. I could go carry Hubert, Brian Gallagher,

1961
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:35,879
Speaker 2: Steve guyett On and on. I could go editors' producers.

1962
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 2: There's so many reasons that I think make our combat

1963
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 2: sports telecast in a league of its own, But so

1964
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:48,519
Speaker 2: many lengths and so many dollars go towards that initiative, right,

1965
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 2: And so when people will say things about our broadcast

1966
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 2: team or about our broadcast in a complimentary way, and

1967
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:56,840
Speaker 2: I turn it back and say, we're just trying to

1968
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:58,800
Speaker 2: be as listenable and watchable as possible for seven or

1969
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 2: eight fucking hours. You know, mission accomplished, hopefully most of

1970
01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 2: the time for our fans in the UK at four

1971
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning. Or Ken Flow fighting it with

1972
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:09,639
Speaker 2: two kids at twelve thirty am in North Carolina.

1973
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 4: You know.

1974
01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:13,120
Speaker 2: So I don't know. Daniel just had one thing that

1975
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 2: he said there, Ken, just like I can't believe that

1976
01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 2: we can't all have these really elite broadcasts start to

1977
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 2: finish on pay per view in twenty twenty four.

1978
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 7: Well, certainly, you know, the quality of the broadcasters makes

1979
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:27,240
Speaker 7: a big difference, and you guys always kill it. But

1980
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 7: I think you know the fact that the UFC has

1981
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 7: been doing this for so long and been putting out

1982
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 7: so many damn fights and events over the years. It's

1983
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:39,200
Speaker 7: a point, and I don't have a horse in the race, right,

1984
01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:42,200
Speaker 7: But the UFC just does it better than anybody out there.

1985
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:45,320
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter what the combat sport. They just know

1986
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:47,559
Speaker 7: how to entertain, They know how to make it watchable,

1987
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:50,479
Speaker 7: they know how to make it exciting, and I don't

1988
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:54,600
Speaker 7: see anybody catching up for ever. Maybe yeah, And.

1989
01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:57,680
Speaker 2: You're also comparing like an entertainment type fight. We're not

1990
01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:00,200
Speaker 2: comparing it to a fight that Lampley's calling her a

1991
01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 2: fury fight or something like that, you know. But ultimately,

1992
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:04,680
Speaker 2: as the UFC, you should be comparing the UFC to

1993
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:06,760
Speaker 2: the NBA in the NFL and Major League Baseball at

1994
01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:09,800
Speaker 2: this point, not to this fair And I hope that

1995
01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:12,639
Speaker 2: the Sports Emmys in the United States of America will

1996
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:17,240
Speaker 2: acknowledge the UFC's championship coverage in those categories fair because

1997
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:20,800
Speaker 2: it's as good as the NBA finals and certainly there's

1998
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 2: a lot of resources that go into it. Are you

1999
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:25,800
Speaker 2: getting out of here right now? Yeah, I have a final.

2000
01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 2: I just want you to just one thing. When the

2001
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,599
Speaker 2: first fight with Leon and Blaw so, you know, Safe

2002
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,600
Speaker 2: Souloud was circumstantially in Blao's corner and he, you know,

2003
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:35,800
Speaker 2: after round one, he was like he took his best shot,

2004
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 2: you know, and they were encouraging blow to sprint after

2005
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 2: round one. And I think you know, anyone who's looked

2006
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 2: at some film of blal, I'm just fascinting to see

2007
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 2: what he comes out with, but he did sort of

2008
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 2: get through it. And if you look at Mike Perry

2009
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:50,320
Speaker 2: in that bot, but Mike Perry took some blasts. I

2010
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 2: can't believe he didn't get knocked the fuck out last night.

2011
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:55,000
Speaker 2: So Bellow's tough and game and I think if he

2012
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:56,640
Speaker 2: has the right game plan, it's going to be a

2013
01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:59,599
Speaker 2: tough night for Leon Edwards to you know, it's tough

2014
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:01,640
Speaker 2: to keep defend. And I just wanted to get your

2015
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:04,160
Speaker 2: thoughts on that safe soud point about him taking his

2016
01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 2: best shot again, I think it speaks to this sort

2017
01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:09,400
Speaker 2: of false narrative coming out of Team Muhammad about this

2018
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:12,560
Speaker 2: head kick as hail Mary Kenny. That headkick weapon is

2019
01:34:12,640 --> 01:34:15,600
Speaker 2: one of Leon's best, most concussive weapons. It's there for

2020
01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:18,759
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes potentially, like he took his best shot,

2021
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 2: it wobbled him and if that fight realized a third, fourth,

2022
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:24,400
Speaker 2: or fifth round, more head kicks could have been coming

2023
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:27,840
Speaker 2: and maybe he wouldn't have taken the tertiary blow right.

2024
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 7: And I think it's a good thing because baalall knows

2025
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:33,800
Speaker 7: that he can be hurt by that weapon, specifically, he

2026
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 7: can be hurt. And I think that if you go

2027
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:39,719
Speaker 7: back even to the Sean Brady fight where he rallied

2028
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 7: back in in tremendous fashion. I mean, I think balall

2029
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:46,439
Speaker 7: the toughness, I don't think that's going to be an issue.

2030
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 7: He's not tapping out, you know, And I think he's

2031
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 7: going to perform extremely well. And I think that that's

2032
01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:56,560
Speaker 7: kind of the approach if he can get Leon, not

2033
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:58,880
Speaker 7: only does Baalaon need to spread, he needs to get

2034
01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 7: Leon to sprint. That's the difference. And he's he's got

2035
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 7: to find a way to be able to do that.

2036
01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 7: Fascinated by the fight, I think it's gonna be a

2037
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:09,760
Speaker 7: real close one and a very entertaining one as well.

2038
01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:12,040
Speaker 2: All Right, we got to get on out of here.

2039

Speaker 2: full preview with predictions for UFC three oh four and

2048
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 2: one thing. I am going to ask Kenny Florian what

2049
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:40,840
Speaker 2: would he ask Blao Muhammad or Leon Edwards in the

2050
01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 2: fighter meeting, because I think I have pretty good pre

2051
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 2: thought and questions, but I'm gonna pick Kemflow's brain on that.

2052
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 2: He'll also make nine predictions alongside Brian Petrie and Ken

2053
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:54,640
Speaker 2: Flow will also spend two thousand dollars at uf to

2054
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 2: see three oh four. I wish you, Jason and t

2055
01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,639
Speaker 2: Muhammad all the best in Manchester, England as you try
