Okay, so and I'm talking about Sean 41 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: strick Just for the record, right, I'm talking about Sean Strickland. 42 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: We all were operating under the idea that once i'm 43 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: zat Chimayav beat h Drinks duplus see, he was gonna 44 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: go into his first title defense. But then his opponent 45 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: at the time was supposed to be noser Dine and 46 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: Mavov right only because nos Orgina Mavoff actually his last fight, 47 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: and I'm looking it up right now. In Mavov's last fight, 48 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: he looked amazing and he beat Cabajayo right out in Paris, France, 49 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: where he received a champions welcome obviously, where he was 50 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: the bell at the ball in what people absolutely loved him. 51 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: But it seemed like because of Marvoff was on his run, 52 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: he was gonna get a title fight, and it was 53 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: almost certain to the point, guys, where I had heard 54 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: rumblings that the fight was actually going to be made official, right, 55 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: I heard moments that this fight was about to be 56 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: made official. It was a mute point. It was done. 57 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: So when Sean Strickland goes into Houston to take on 58 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: Fluffy Hernandez, we talked about this and said he would 59 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: have to do something insane, to try to push himself 60 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: to the top of the line to get a title fight, 61 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: but not only does he win the fight. From the 62 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: very start, Seann is who Sean Strickland is. So immediately 63 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: when he is on the dais at the pressers, he's 64 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: saying things that are so crazy and out there that 65 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: everybody's paying attention because I watch I watch stephen A. 66 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: Schmitt talk about Sean Strickland. I watched a guy named 67 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: Jason Whitlock talk about Sean Strickland. I watch every talking 68 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: head that covers sports, the Pivot, I watch Club five 69 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: point twenty. Everybody talks about Sean Strickland things people that 70 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: don't have nothing to do with Emma may because he's 71 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 1: so far out there, so immediately, Sean Strickland is putting 72 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: himself on in the public's eyes and on their minds. Now, 73 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: the stuff you may not agree with what he says, 74 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: he says some wild stuff. Every time I sit with him, 75 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: I am so nervous that Sean's gonna say something that 76 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: not only gets him self canceled, but gets me canceled. 77 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: I don't even know that he cares though, because he's 78 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: a fighter. He has beliefs in what he believes, and 79 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: he just speaks it for him. He's lucky that he 80 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: has an organization that allows for him could be exactly 81 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: who he wants to be. So he goes into Houston 82 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: beats Anthony Hernandez. Right, we make a video the following 83 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: week when I'm like, Sean looks so good. If that 84 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: version showed up, that might be a tougher fight for 85 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: Hamza than I may have imagined. But not only is 86 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: he doing all those things, he's poking at the champion. 87 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: He's poking at the champion. And then Hamzad starts to reply, Guys, 88 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: I am telling you as a guy that lived this 89 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: life as Hamza Tamayav a champ, and lived his life 90 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: as a challenger as Sean Strickland is, and as a 91 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: former champion that wants to get back to the belt. 92 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: I've lived that life. The most important thing you can 93 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: do is poke in prod and poke and prod and 94 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: poke and prod and hope that that champion responds to you. 95 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: The moment hams I started responding, you start thinking, Wow, 96 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: this might actually happen. Because hams Oud is going back 97 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: and forth with Sean Obviously, we know that those guys 98 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: were training together, and at the point it looked like 99 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: they might have been friends. But when I hear them 100 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: talk about the training sessions and talk about the way 101 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: they feel about each other, someone's lying. Because guys, people 102 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: were in the gym when they were training, someone was 103 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: getting their ass kicked. Sean says it was Hams out Hams. 104 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: I said it was Sean, Sean saying, maybe I picked 105 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: the toughest guy and I'll let him get in positions. 106 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: Somebody knows what happened in those training sessions. You can 107 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: get a pretty good gauge as to what happened is 108 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: going to happen in the fight after those training sessions. 109 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: But neither one of these dudes are blinking an eye. 110 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: But take lessons, young fighters. Sean Strickland went and jumped 111 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: the line with a victory. Sean Strickland actually let me 112 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: get back to jamav Off. Sean Strickland was a guy 113 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: that after Drek has beat him, we thought he was done. 114 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: It looked like that fight that made him so good 115 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: was gone, and he only fought one time. He went 116 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: from fighting drekas losing bad to beating Fluffy and earning 117 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: the title shot because of everything he did surrounding the 118 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: fight and getting the champion to take note, pay attention, 119 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: respond and react has put him in a position where 120 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: he gets a championship opportunity. Now here's the question, right, 121 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: here's the question that I have for everyone. It's like 122 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: watching him against Fluffy. Do we believe that he can 123 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: compete against Amsat Chimayav. I have heard stories, guys. I 124 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: have heard stories out of the Tremaiah camp that Tamayav 125 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: is training so hard and putting it on guys, elite 126 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: level guys like nothing you've ever seen before. I have 127 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: heard Hamsa Chimayav wants people to go so hard with him, 128 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: to try to beat him and submit him to do 129 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: He's paying him. He doesn't care. I got some guys 130 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: in the gym at my gym that know. People there 131 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: are like, man, this dude, if somebody can submit him, 132 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: there's like money. The Saints got in trouble for bounty Gate. 133 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: Kamasa's putting a bounty on himself to make guys give 134 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: him all that day. This dude, it's different. But do 135 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: you believe that after watching Sean in that fight, because 136 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: he looks so good that he can actually compete against Haumsaud. 137 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: Now Dana was talking about this, Yestiny said, Hey, fun card. Obviously, 138 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: the main event is the fight that we've been waiting 139 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: for for a long time. Strickland looked great in his 140 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: last fight, and you know we gonna need some extra 141 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: security for this fight. Do you think we'll need extra 142 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: security for Tamaiah versus Trickling? Absolutely, I gotta be honest, 143 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust those two enough to 144 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: put them together before the fight, because I think they 145 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: might start fighting. They seem to hate each other and 146 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: despise each other, and those things are what fights are 147 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: built on. Those are the things that fights are built on. 148 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: Is bad, blood, heat, a true dislike for someone. Sean 149 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: don't necessarily like anybody, which makes him as fun as 150 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: anyone to watch. But Homzad just wants to smash people. Smash, 151 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: beat them up, take them down, overwhelm them to the 152 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: point that they can't do anything. They have over twenty 153 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: minutes of control Timm against drinkis But that's it. Guys, 154 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: make the fight bigger than just the fight. That's how 155 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: you get your fight back. In twenty twenty two, Sean said, hey, 156 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you when I were talking to a gym. 157 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: Do you think I pick on the little weakest guy? 158 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: I say no, let's spar I find the biggest, baddest 159 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: m effort in there, and I'm like, hey, I want 160 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: to spar you. Every time Tamaiev would walk in the gym, 161 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: he would pick the smallest, lowest level pro and say, 162 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: but oh, he looks like my opponent. He picked the 163 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: smallest guy. I think that Hamzat say bully is what 164 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: Strickland said. I mean. He also said that he made 165 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: Hamsak quit in training witnesses in the audience, where's Strickland's 166 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: coach Eric Nixon at I made him quit? Know we 167 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: were doing positional grappling. I started on my back. I 168 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: was like, first round, I let him choke me because 169 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: no one gives a damn. But he said I made 170 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: him quit, And to me, it sounds like he believes that. 171 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: But if I know Hamsa Timayev and I've met him 172 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: and I know him pretty good, quitting does not seem 173 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: like something Hamzad would do. Just doesn't. And if the 174 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: stories are to be believed, of what I am in 175 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: this gym right now, Kamza Surmaiava is firing on all cylinders. 176 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: But if you watch Sean, he was too down in 177 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: Houston against Fluffy Hernandez, who looked like he was a 178 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: world beater going into that fight against Sean Strickland, Shawn 179 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: stops him with a nastynee. It was crazy. Man. These guys, though, 180 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: are supposed to be fighting in now Newark, New Jersey, 181 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: gets that as the main event. Listen to Sean. I'm 182 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: not telling you guys to do everything Sean Strickland does 183 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: because I do not know that there is a world 184 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 1: where that works for multiple people. I don't know how 185 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: many people can get away with what Sean does, but 186 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: there are things in there like pick at the champion 187 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: that works because I did it. And if you go 188 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: back in history and look at the people that earned 189 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: the title opportunities, maybe before they deserve them, maybe when 190 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: they thought they did and the world did not notice 191 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: what they did. Notice how Chel Sunn thought John Jones 192 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: based on just annoying John Jones, and then he said 193 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: that when he walked to the knock down the night 194 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: he said, I'm not beating this dude, but he knew 195 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: he wanted a title opportunity, and he got it because 196 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: of what he did and what he said. That's the 197 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: lesson you take from Sean strick I'm not telling you 198 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: Charles the guy you want to follow, but in that sense, 199 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: he jumped no Sardina mov off based on his performance 200 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: and based on the heat that he had with the champion. 201 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: It's all like, it's all the same in this world. 202 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: We may look at basketball WWE, it's all the same. 203 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: When you have something with the top, it builds interest. 204 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: So whenever you have two teams that don't like each other, 205 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: that's why the Packers and the Bears are the best. 206 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: That's why people watch that game. I don't care about 207 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: the Packers. I don't care about the Bears, but when 208 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: they play, I do watch it if it's on TV 209 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: because I know there's bad bloods for years and years 210 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: and years. That's why I can't stand the Falcons because 211 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: there's bad blood with the Saints. That's the way it goes. 212 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: And in fighting it's the same thing. It's the same thing, 213 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: and Sean Strickland getting this title fight is absolute proof 214 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: of what I'm saying right now, guys, enjoy your weekend.
