Speaker 2: most pain I've ever been in my entire life, like

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: the most injuries I've ever had in a fight, for sure.

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: You know peede blood inflammation all over my whole body swollen.

35
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 2: I feel like you know, my legs blood.

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it like a dense color of blood

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: or it was like a light pain.

38
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: The first one was very light, which was in my

39
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: drug test New York drug testing me before the fight

40
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: and then after the fight, just positive. I tested positive

41
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: for blood, tested positive for going nuts. But yeah, so

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: they had like a light tent and then the second

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: one was like uh beat looking juice. It was dark

44
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: there hurt, no really, I don't, well, like what is

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: also my whole body hurt too? So at that point, you.

46
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: Know, starting from the pissing blood, what does that, guys?

47
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: That come from? Like a shot to the shot.

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: I think it's I mean, I think it's a little

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: bit of rabdough, you know, like rabdough myialysis or whatever

50
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: they call it.

51
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: Overworking the muscles.

52
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you're overworking the muscles. Your muscles secrete

53
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: blood and then your blood. You know, the doctor's out there,

54
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: don't fact check me, but it's like, you know, blood,

55
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: Their blood goes into the kidneys, slash, liver, whatever wherever

56
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 2: your your urine goes, and it gets trace amounts of

57
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: blood in it, where whereas mine wasn't really trace amounts.

58
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: It was a large amounts. But yeah, I've had it

59
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: before many times. Anytime you have a five minute fight

60
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: like or a five round fight like that, twenty five minutes,

61
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: even if it's an quote unquote easy twenty five minutes,

62
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 2: you're still hyped. Your body is doing things. You're you're

63
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: in fight or flight mode for twenty five minutes or

64
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: really thirty minutes plus plus the walk out, plus the

65
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: after plus the.

66
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah when do you think that starts to hit the

67
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: rush of like you know, you're not going to feel

68
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: pain until probably twenty four hours later. Is that the walkout?

69
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: Is that in the locker room right before you walk out?

70
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: Is it the first punch?

71
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: It's it's it's actually in the octagon. Yeah, it's like

72
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: once you're once you're in there, because I try to

73
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: stay pretty present, man. I try to stay pretty present

74
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: and pretty myself and and really just focus on being

75
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: a human being. And as soon as the cage door

76
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: closes and then Bruce is in there, it's kind of

77
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: one of those deals where it's maybe like a kickoff

78
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: or like whatever, where it's like I'm in the games

79
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: about to start, and then all of a sudden, then

80
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: you all of a sudden're running down the field or the

81
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: first play and you're like, oh, shoot, we're actually in

82
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: it now. Yeah, and then you then you start you know,

83
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: usually for me, it's it's like, oh, man, okay, here

84
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: we go. We're actually walking toward each other. Okay, there's

85
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: the five you know, there's the first handshake, we touched

86
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: each other, clocks running, we're going, and then you're like,

87
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: I'm kind of waiting to take that first punch to

88
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: be like, okay, here we are, right. Yeah, hopefully it's

89
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: not a big one. Hopefully it's just like a nice

90
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: get the first hut there.

91
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I always into the age old phrase,

92
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: get that first hit out of the way, feel a

93
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: whole lot better. Then your nerves are huge right before,

94
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: like all the doubts, the insecurities, the wondering, the overconfidence.

95
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: I think it's all like a flush of emotions all

96
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: at once to.

97
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: Doubt your overconfidence in I too, like, yeah, yeah, why

98
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: do I feel good?

99
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: I shouldn't feel this good? And then you start feeling

100
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: bad all of a sudden, all over yeah.

101
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: And then once you're in it, you're like, okay, now

102
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: we're in it. Now. Now the body's just doing your

103
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: training is taking over your your reaction time, your you know,

104
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: your spirit.

105
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: So before the fight, so Will and I had a

106
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: cool unique perspectives because Will was watching it over so

107
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: he was able to hear the commentators. I obviously was there.

108
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: We'll talk about all of it, but the but as

109
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: you were walking out, Will was saying that Rogan's like,

110
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: I know you're going to see a new Michael Chandler here.

111
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't think, I know. Do you

112
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: think Olive Aaron knew you were going to strategically go

113
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: about this differently? If Rogan was so so clearly understood

114
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: the process.

115
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, the funny thing was, I knew I was

116
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: going to but I also in my interviews, I didn't

117
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: I didn't want to talk about it too much. It's

118
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: like I did the whole I talked about the who

119
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 2: Chandler two point oh Chandler one point oh. Maybe gave

120
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: it a little bit of too much information because I still,

121
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: I honestly wanted Charles Olivera to feel like he was

122
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 2: fighting Michael Chandler for twenty twenty one. I wanted him

123
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: to think he was fighting the guy who fought in

124
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: my last fight against Poier in twenty twenty two. I

125
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: wanted him to think that was the guy he was fighting. Therefore,

126
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: when I switched the game plan up on him a

127
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: little bit, you know, it would be a different fight

128
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: and I throw him into a scenario. But I think, yeah,

129
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: unfortunately the word got out that I was going to

130
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: fight a little bit differently, and I, you know, and

131
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: I did, Who's Who's the rat? I mean, I think

132
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: it was I think it was me, your own rat.

133
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: I think, well, that's what I'm saying. I was like, I,

134
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: you know, but but no matter what I mean, the

135
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: narrative was, you could not hide it from the fact

136
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: that I hadn't fought for two years. You had to

137
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: talk about the Connor situation, had to talk about, you know,

138
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: the two year layoff, the training camp for Connor fighting

139
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: at one seventy different mindset gun and then going down

140
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 2: to one fifty five. And I was just speaking more. Yeah,

141
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: I'm just more of an open guy. I just I

142
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: want my story to be told. I want to wear

143
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: my heart on my sleeve. If I cry, I cry,

144
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: If I get mad, I get mad. I just want

145
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: to be myself and be authentically me. And in that

146
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: obviously I was just talking about my growth as a

147
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: human being over the last two years, which was you know,

148
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: hard times, tough times. You guys know, the behind the

149
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: scenes stuff as the boys of like the ups and

150
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: downs of all of it. But I grew as a

151
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: human and became a better man and fighter and athlete

152
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: because of it. And then yeah, I just wanted to

153
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: go out there a little bit more composed and calculated.

154
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: Also twenty five minutes is a lot different. It's almost

155
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: like double the amount. It's almost double the amount of

156
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: time as a three round four.

157
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: When's the last time you went a full fight.

158
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: Twenty five minutes, man, Benson Henderson, Like twenty sixteen or twenty.

159
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: Eighteen, because every fight I think I've seen that.

160
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, peed blood after that one, for sure, Yeah, that's

Speaker 2: passed out. Actually that I passed out in that fight.

162
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: My coach. I was unconscious on my feet. My eyes

163
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: were open, but I was unconscious. My coach had to

164
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: pick me up after the fourth round right at the

165
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: end of the round. Woke up in the corner. Finally

166
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: came to as my coach behind me. Neil yelled something

167
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: at me, and I was like what And I looked

168
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,480

00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: guy who's like, I'm not here to prove the doubters wrong.

191

00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: really have a chip on my shoulder. I'm more of

193
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: a you know, just like I just want to do

00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: my thing and be an athlete who works hard, kind

195
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: of positivity stuff. And then over the last two years,

196
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, f everybody, man, F everybody. I'm a different man,

197
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: and I deserve this. I deserve to freaking absolutely smash

198
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: this life that we call you know, our existence, and

199
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: uh I love the haters, love the haters. Man.

200
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: There's a special place for him.

201
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: There's a special special place from the special place in

202
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: my heart for him. Man.

203
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: So when you're walking out right now, are you? You

204
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: look loose? I love you look you seem like you're

205
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: about it, because we're all sitting there being like, yeah,

206
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: as your friend, we're thinking he hasn't fought in two years.

207
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: McGregor's out there. Two weeks before that fight, McGregor breaks

208
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: a little tiny peaky toe. He's now out. He's dipped

209
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: out for the first time in his UFC career. What's

210
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: gonna happen to Mike? Now you're in this limbo? Do

211
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: you wait for Connor? Still? UFC fighters are talking shit,

212
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: haters are talking shit. And then all of a sudden

213
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: you get Charles Oliver and now you're went from fighting

214
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: on one seventy and now you're going to one to

215
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: fifty five. So there's all these different things can allow

216
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: you to stiffen up a little bit, and then you

217
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: walk out and you seem loose, confident, poised, controlled like

218
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: you just seem like Michael Chandler like the ultimate confidence. Yeah, man,

219
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: are you actually feeling that? Or is that like I

220
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: got to put this on a little bit ficketty and

221
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: make it type of thing because it has been a

222
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: while since I've.

223
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: Been no I was man like, I I mean that.

224
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: And that's when you just know you're doing exactly what

225
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: you were called to don It's it's it doesn't matter

226
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: if I was out for ten years. It doesn't matter

227
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: if I was injured, it doesn't matter. If there's stuff

228
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 2: going on behind the scenes, it doesn't matter. None of

229
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 2: that stuff matters, man, because you're doing exactly what you

230
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: were called to do. And and this is where you

231
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: were supposed to be. There's nowhere else in the entire world.

232
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: I was supposed to be then in Madison Square Garden

233
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: at that moment, right, you know. And and I was

234
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: built for this thing, and I was I was, I

235
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: was bred for it, and it's it was an awesome

236
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: you know. It was a little bit more like, hey,

237
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: let's take it in because you haven't done this. You know.

238
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 2: I've did a lot of visualization closing my eyes when

239
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: I was in our octagon inside of our gym down

240
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 2: in Florida, and like imagining the crowd and the lights

241
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 2: and the feels and even during the you know, I

242
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: hadn't been in the locker room like that warming up

243
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: for two years. Needed to go out to MSG. I Like,

244
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: they were like, you can't go out there. I was like,

245
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: all right, cool, and then I like walked out anyway

246
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: and they were like no, seriously, like come on, come on,

247
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: and they were like pulling me out. But I went

248
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: out to the arena smelled it, like you gotta smell it,

249
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: you gotta feel it, you got to hear you gotta

250
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: hear it. Because there's twenty thousand people there and they're

251
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: all talking, and all of their hearts are beating, and

252
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: there's a bunch there's an energy out there, right, and

253
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: there's a smell, and there's a feel, and there's a

254
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: taste and there's all of these different senses going on.

255
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: And I hadn't smelled it in two years of actually

256
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: being the guy who was going to be in the arena,

257
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: and it all just came back, man, And you know,

258
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: getting in there and kind of walking around, the first

259
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: time I had touched the cage to my back in

260
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: two years, the first time I had felt the canvas

261
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: on my feet in two years, the first time I

262
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: had been in an arena with all of those different

263
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: emotions going on around me, Right.

264
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: How hard is it to not get too high? Like

265
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: once you do step in the octagen and you are

266
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: drinking it all in, it's like, hey, I need to

267
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: focus on my breathing.

268
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: Here it is, it is, And you got your trump

269
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: and musk.

270
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I mean.

271
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: The great tailor there, Yeah, the greatest the point.

272
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the greatest crowd of witnesses. You know, man, I

273
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: mean that's that's pretty. That's a freaking really really cool

274
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: uh little row up there, uh cage side, And yeah,

275
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: I mean I did have to pull myself back down

276
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: because that was that was the biggest thing with me. Obviously,

277
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: I will touch gloves and go balls to the wall

278
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 2: until the wheels fall off and I go out on

279
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: my shield and my heart explodes or whatever happens. But

280
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: this fight, I wanted to be more present, and I

281
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: wanted to breathe, and I wanted to feel my heart beat.

282
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 2: I wanted to control my thoughts. I wanted to actually

283
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: make decisions in there instead of my body just doing

284
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: just doing and reacting, you know. And I and I

285
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: did that, but I needed to come back down because

286
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: I did get a little bit hyped up as I

287
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: walked in. I'm like, hell, yeah, let's do this. I

288
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: remember this, this is what I let's let's Then all

289
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you know, the cooler head prevailed where

290
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: it was like, wait a second, bro, bring it down,

291
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: you know, and breathe a little bit, and and and

292
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: realize that you're about to go into a job, in

293
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 2: a profession, and in a contest instead of a war,

294
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: instead of a battle, you know, going back to the

295
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 2: trying to win by a thousand instead of trying to

296
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 2: win by one, you know, and and I just truly

297
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 2: thought me trying to win by one, I was still

298
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: gonna win by a thousand.

299
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: And wait on the moment presenting itself.

300
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, the uh when all of air is coming

301
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: out and you're pacing back and forth, so the music changes,

302
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: Like does that affect you at all when you hear it?

303
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: When you hear that, I just want to feel all

304
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: the things you.

305
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 2: Were Yeah time that uh yeah, I mean that's a

306
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: little disappointing because then you're like, man, I'm having I'm

307
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: enjoying my music, and I'm enjoying my moment and you're like, oh, shoot, okay,

308
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,160

Speaker 2: about him and I gotta you know, now we're But

310
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: I think that was when I started kind of get

311
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: locked in where it was like, oh, shoot, now the

312
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: guy who's about to try to take everything from me

313
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: is walking into the arena.

314
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: You're not only walking in the arena, but hugs you yet,

00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 2: No, I I knew that. And in the back yeah, no,

318
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 2: Me and Charles are very respectful, man, there's no doubt

00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: at that both Guystimately it's a big hug, you know,

320
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: God blessed you type of thing. Like, dude, I'm just

321
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: happy you're here. I mean, that's one thing too, like

322
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: what you talk about. I mean, look at Chris Widman.

323
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 2: Chris Whidman woke up on November sixteenth thinking he was

324
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: going to fight, probably to a phone call saying hey, sorry,

325
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: Eric Andres is injured, sick or whatever, pulling out of

326
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: the fight. I'm just happy you're here because now we

327
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: both get paid, we both get to fight. We both

328
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: like this thing is actually happening, you know, So it's

329
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: a there's part of that where you're just like, man,

330
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: thank god it's here, because up until that moment, nothing

331
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: is guaranteed, you know, until that cage door actually locks, like,

332
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: nothing is actually guaranteed. So then then it starts to

333
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 2: get a little bit more real. You hear his music.

334
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: His music is awesome. I don't understand it because it's

335
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: Brazilian or Portuguese whatever, but it's a totally different but

336
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: it's a cool it's a cool song. Sounds like a

337
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: worship song or something. I don't know, but it's it's

338
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 2: a yesterday sometimes dang dude in the car over there, dude,

339
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: but that, yeah, that's kind of the momentere you're like, Okay,

340
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: now it's you know, it's it's no longer about my

341
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: walk out. I'm actually in here. Oh and that guy's

342
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: coming out, and you're kind of like, you know, are

343
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: you make an eye contact? Are you looking at him?

344
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: Are you now You're now you're also still questioning yourself,

345
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: like how are you gonna play this? You're gonna like

346
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: mean mug them, You're gonna freaking you're gonna lock eyes

347
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: and kind of do one of those numbers, you're not

348
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: gonna look him at all, which sometimes people are like, oh,

349
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: he does not looking at him, looking at him at all,

350
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: which shows lack of confidence. And sometimes it's a high

351
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: level of confidence to not look at your opponent at all,

352
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: like Jose Aldo was a was a perfect example of that.

353
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: He would he would go face to face with the

354
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: guy and just look down and kind of like look

355
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: at his feet the whole time, would never never make

356
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: eye contact. Yet he would go out there and absolutely

357
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: smash somebody. He wasn't afraid of them, you know. So

358
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: it was a it's an interesting it's an interesting vibe,

359
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: but it.

360
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: Was just a game being played at all times, right, Yeah,

361
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: there's mental warfare, just like people just playing chess well

362
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 3: their pieces in certain way.

363
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: But it's but it's funny too, right, because we're all

364
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: human beings, like we're we're all we all must play

365
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: by the rules of human nature and and succumb to

366
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: to just being a human and the thoughts that are

367
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: going on, the biological things that are happening inside of there,

368
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: where's your heart rate and all these different things. We're

369
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: a human being, but you get looked at differently because

370
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: you're an athlete, and then even kind of even more

371
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: different because you're fighting in an octagon with a very

372
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: little rules, you know, but we're just human beings trying

373
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: to figure it out, and every single time is different.

374
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: You talk about being thankful that he you know, he's there.

375
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: You guys are both there, the fight's gonna happen, you're

376
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: both gonna get paid and whatnot. When there rumors of

377
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: him possibly backing out, Yeah, we're dropping out? Was it

378
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: due to injury?

379
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: It well, so I never really got any kind of

380
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: confirmation other than my my manager called me like two

381
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: days after that. That news rumor kind of broke, and

382
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: I didn't even think anything of it. I think it

383
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: was more there was some games misship I think happening

384
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: because it's like, hey, this happened at Chandler three months ago,

385
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: two weeks before the fight, let's uh, let's leak something.

386
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: And it was Brazilian media, so I don't know if

387
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: it was his coach saying something or what. But I

388
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: wasn't worried about it at all. I just kept training

389
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: and I knew it wasn't me, so yeah, it had

390
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: to be him, But.

391
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: I think it was all just the thing, and this

392
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: is better than not fucking happened.

393
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to because I.

394
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: Mean your thoughts go there, You're like, well, shoot, would

395
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: I take another fight? Who would who would they match

396
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: me up against? It's it's a short notice fight, so

397
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: then people think we'll shoot, it's an easy fight because

398
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: a guy's probably coming off the couch. But actually it's

399
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: not an easy fight because you're like, it's a brand

400
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: new opponent and that guy's got nothing to lose. Like,

401
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: I love that idea. Like if Hunter called me and

402
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: was like, hey, you want to step in and fight

403
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: this guy on two weeks and I said be like, hell, yeah, dude,

404
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: I got nothing to lose. What are you gonna pay me?

405
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: Let it sweep, just let it fly. And if after

406
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: a round and a half my gas tank goes, you

407
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: don't really lose because you weren't training for the It's

408
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: you know what it is, it's Nate Diaz versus Connor one.

409
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah that it was on a level in days notice.

410
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: Diaz had nothing to lose whatsoever. Connor had everything to

411
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 2: lose because he was training for ten weeks leading up

412
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 2: to the fight and he goes out there and loses.

413
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: He gases out and Diaz doesn't somehow, and he had

414
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: nothing to lose and went out there and won shock

415
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: the world.

416
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, round one. So you're coming out with the

417
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: new mic two point zero. You get in there and

418
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: you feel it from like the beginning, the first ten

419
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: seconds of fight. You guys are floating around a little bit.

420
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: He does a little leg kick, you kind of move

421
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: it out of the way, and it already feels in

422
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: the building like, oh, this is way different than we

423
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: all expected. Yeah, what at what point do you think

424
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: he fully realized that this is a new mic he's fighting.

425
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: Well, I know we went to the ground at some

426
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: point in the first round within like the first two

427
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 2: kansas at time. So I think that first the first couple,

428
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: the first couple exchanges, just just navigating and actually letting

429
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: the fight progress instead of instead of forcing myself into

430
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: the fight, let the fight progress and if he lands

431
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: a shot or I land a shot or whatever it is,

432
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: let's just you know, let's just get in here, move

433
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: around a little bit, rather than rather than going right

434
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 2: into the fire. And yeah, things were going well until that,

435
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: you know that uh first takedown really and then got

436
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: on the ground and then he but then even then

437
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: I also it shows my growth instead of trying to

438
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: force my way out of the position, I was completely okay,

439
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: saying for the first time in my life, I concede

440
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 2: a day a round. I let him stay on I

441
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: let him stay on top, and I let him win

442
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: the round because I had twenty more minutes to fight.

443
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: And in your in your head, are you thinking too, like,

444
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: don't force anything here, you need your gas stake. Yeah,

445
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 3: we're preparing for a five round fight.

446
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: That was exactly what it was like I was. I

447
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: looked over at the clock. I've never seen a clock

448
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: ever in my thirty two fight career. I've never looked

449
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: at a clock, never wondered what time it was, never

450
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: heard my coach say thirty seconds, one minute, whatever. I've

451
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: never never worried about it because I'm in there fighting.

452
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: Whereas there I was not really fighting. I was strategic.

453
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: I was I was like chart Well number two. Even

454
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: more importantly, the greatest submission artists in UFC history is

455
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: on top of you with your leg and my left

456
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: leg freaking up in a knee bar type of position

457
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: where you're one second away from him attacking that and

458
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: snapping my leg off. Plus he's on yeah, plus he's

459
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: on top, and and you know he he you know,

460
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: I went back and watched the fight and Joe and

461
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 2: and like the commentators like those elbows he landed, he

462
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: didn't land it one one elbow on me whatsoever. They

463
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: all looked like they landed, but they all glanced off

464
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: my arm or glanced off like the side of my head.

465
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: And I remember laying in there like he threw one.

466
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, thank you Jesus. That was good,

467
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: because there was freaking, like three different times a couple

468
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: of those elbows were absolute fire balls coming at me

469
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 2: with his bony, freaking long elbows, and none of them landed.

470
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: And uh, I was just like, I'm gonna sit here,

471
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 2: and then pushed him like as soon as the bell

472
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: ring pushed him off me, walked to my walk to

473
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: the to the stool.

474
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 3: Are there ever times where you feel like you're in

475
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 3: trouble when he's got your back because you're talking about

476
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: rewatching it and you're hearing the commentator like Chandler could

477
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: be in a lot of trouble here if he just

478
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: you know, he can't give him his back, he can't

479
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 3: do this like this is a very dangerous spot for

480
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 3: Mike to be this.

481
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is that is his favorite spot to be

482
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: in a fight, right, I mean he finished, poor finished

483
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: Gaechee finished. So many guys. He's got, however, many twenty

484
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: something submissions or something like that, over a million dollars

485
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: in bonuses. The guy's got, right, You guys are probably

486
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 2: looking at how many freaking rear naked chokes he has.

487
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: It's probably half of his submissions are rear naked chokes

488
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: because he's the perfect body type. If you go back

489
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: and watch how long his forearms are, it's crazy, and

490
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: they're not big. They're bony and they're skinny, but he's

491
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 2: still strong. So he's got really long arms and he's

492
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: got really long legs. So he's gonna he's gonna lock

493
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: that figure four up around the body. Yeah, and freaking

494
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: squeeze your guts out, separate your freaking rib on the

495
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: right side. And that one was happening. Oh, I mean

496
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: I think he got it.

497
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: And uh is that the one we had fully stretched

498
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: out over there?

499
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

500
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 3: That's when I think DC and Ruggan we're going back

501
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: and forth like, oh, he's been here before. Yeah, And

502
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: then I think somebody corrected the other. So you got

503
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: to remember that was in the first round of the

504
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 3: last fight. Like this is different because tanks, you know,

505
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: guys are wearing.

506
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: Out a little bit. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was good.

507
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: It was good once you start getting sweaty, because I

508
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: do remember that too, being in that first round. He

509
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: gets on top of me and you can you can

510
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: feel the guy you're holding onto and it's like it's

511
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: sticky and you're sticky. Is not good when you're fighting

512
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 2: Charles olavera second round, third round, fourth round, when the

513
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: sweat is flowing, everything gets a little bit more slippery

514
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 2: or obviously and then you're in a better spot. But

515
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: you're also always in danger against Charles. But I've got good,

516
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: you know, pretty good defense and keeping the hand control and.

517
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: When you're when in those three rounds when you're on

518
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: the ground all those times, you always talk about being

519
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: aware of him, how good he is. Was there ever

520
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: a point where you're like, oh fuck, Like yeah, because

521
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: there's a like you talk about hand control all that,

522
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: there's just things that I don't understand. Will you do

523
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: a little bit because you did wrestling, but like I'm

524
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: watching in the ground, I got JP in my air

525
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: being like he's doing this well and that well. I'm

526
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: just thinking to myself, I know he's good on the ground.

527
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: Were you ever like if he does this.

528
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 3: One thing I am fucked was because one time he

529
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 3: like had Mike's face it seemed like.

530
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and in the fourth round I think it was

531
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: or third round, third or fourth round, Yeah, he had

532
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: he had a full on rear naked choke in there

533
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: two different times and I was able to pull pull

534
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: the arm down, and then I also planted my elbow

535
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: and did this number. So I had kind of a

536
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: kickstand going on there where he couldn't get the elbow

537
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 2: when he any shorter. But I definitely had a moment

538
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: or two where because you know, when you're about to

539
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 2: go out, if you can feel it where the crowd goes,

540
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 2: you know, it starts to get starts to sound like

541
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: you're in a tunnel type of situation where you're like, okay,

542
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: I'm not that far away from being choked out right now.

543
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: You know the crowd understands, I should understand.

544
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: While your heart beats going one thousand miles an hour

545
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: and your body's doing all kinds of biological stuff, but

546
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: that was, but I just remember, you know, I I

547
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: wasn't you know, there was just things weren't going well

548
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: in there as far as and movement and and my

549
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: footing and all that kind of stuff. And then even

550
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: being on the ground, I was like, I'm not moving

551
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: well on the ground. But I also don't want to

552
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 2: force positions I'm I was. When I walked into that

553
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 2: fifth round, I thought, Okay, this is where right where

554
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: I was supposed to be thwart off all the attacks,

555
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 2: let him do his grappling stuff, let him wear down,

556
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: and I'm going to finish him in the fifth. I

557
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: had the plan of being being there later in the

558
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: rounds to finish him in the fourth or fifth, and

559
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 2: I knew that's right where I was, you know, wanting

560
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 2: to be. But so I was just okay with those positions. Yeah,

561
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: because we go ahead.

562
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 1: You you brought up I mean, obviously before we get

563
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: to the fifth that's the money fight, the money part

564
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: of the fight. It was unbelievable, but you talked about

565
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: like you're losing your footing. You didn't feel like you

566
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: were moving around too well, like what you took a

567
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: bagel blee kick in the leg, and it seemed like that.

568
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: That was wobbling like crazy. And then I see you.

569
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: I think it was after the second round, ja second

570
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: or third, You're doing like the foot thing in the corner.

571
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: It seemed like you were just trying to grab some

572
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 1: sort of grip, so you it seemed like you were

573
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: under saying that like maybe you weren't mechanically working correct.

574
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't your legs, was your shoulder? Like what was

575
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: going on?

576
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not I will not say anything until I

577
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: get an MRI. But yeah, so I think something happened

578
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: to the knee in that first exchange where he had

579
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: the leg and I did like a full three sixty.

580
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 2: He did like a little knee bar thing because I

581
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: walked back to the stool and I looked down on

582
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: my left leg and it was not working right. It

583
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: wasn't stepping, it wasn't catching, it was unstable. It was weird.

584
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: And then and then yeah, during the fight, it was

585
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: like the because you spar all these rounds and you

586
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 2: know what it feels like. I've been fighting for fifteen years,

587
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 2: you know what it feels like to be on a

588
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: solid foundation to walk forward, plod forward, move forward, attack,

589
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: and I just wasn't moving backwards, it was no problem.

590
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: So my body and my brain was telling me moving

591
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: backwards is cool, but moving forward planting and being in

592
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: his face and being in that pressure, like even if

593
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: you go back and watch the fifth, if you really

594
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: watch the fourth and fifth, whenever I was kind of

595
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: pursuing him, my legs were almost just my left leg

596
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: was just like almost like flopping rather than stalking and

597
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: moving forward, you know. And I remember and Robbi Lawler

598
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: is such a freaking badass Hall of Famer in some

599
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: of the craziest fights ever. And I was just like, guys,

600
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 2: I can't get my footing. I'm trying to figure out

601
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: my footing. And He's like, well, you better figure it out.

602
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 2: And I was like, you're right, Robbie. Shit, It's like

603
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: and yeah, it was uh yeah, man, I mean we'll

604
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see what happened. But yeah, essentially, for

605
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: about twenty three minutes of that fight, I don't know

606
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: if the leg was really working that well. How does

607
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: it feel right now? Not great, not great, not great?

608
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: How did you How did your knee feel before the fight?

609
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: The right knee, the right knee. You had some stuff

610
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 2: going on and I think, I think we're gonna get

611
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: that cleaned up for sure. But I've had that for

612
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: like two years. But the left knee is like the worst,

613
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: the worst I've ever felt on any kind of injury whatsoever.

614
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: But it's you know, it's a fight, man, it's you.

615
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: You figured out. And I'm also, uh, my default is

616
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: never okay, where where's my excuses? Where's my where's my excuse? Buttons?

617
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: You know, like I don't have those. So I was

618
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: just I was like, well, it must be my fault.

619
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 2: It must be my footing. It must be you know,

620
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: the canvas. It must be like I got to get

621
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: my feet wet, you know, I was trying to getting

622
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: my feet wet in between every single round, like spitting

623
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: water out, pouring water out, getting water on my feet

624
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: because and then now when I go back and watch

625
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: the fight, because I know how I move, I know

626
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 2: what I look like. I got my my last couple

627
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: of sparring sessions of how I move and what my

628
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: foundation looks like on my feet, and it just was

629
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: not the same at all. So it's a weight bearing issue,

630
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 2: slash balance issue, slash whatever. But I felt like, how

631
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: many times did I fall in that fight, like I'm

632
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 2: I'm a pretty I'm a decently athletic guy. Like I'm pretty,

633
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: I'm pretty athletic.

634
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: And if you look at the softball game, you you

635
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: made things. We're also more difficult to show off that

636
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: you were at.

637
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: And like I've got a fly ball and then just

638
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: jumped out and.

639
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: Catch it.

640
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 2: And I'm better at fighting than I am softball. But

641
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 2: like I I just kept falling, like and I'm like,

642
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't really fall I'm like.

643
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: You know, you you talked about even the second round

644
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: that you know you ultimately had to kind of concede

645
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: and figure out, but ultimately it let go into the

646
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 3: ground because you tripped on the cage.

647
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cut my foot, freaking just did something my

648
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 2: damn hand here. I looked down at my thumb because

649
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: I think my thumb went back and touched my wrist. Yeah,

650
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 2: I know. So I got m R on that on

651
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: that as well. But yeah, I mean, it's, uh, that's

652
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: why we love the sport. Dude. You got two dudes

653
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: just freaking braving the unknown to bodily un bodily harm.

654
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: Right, So when you.

655
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: Go down three to oh and you're going to that

656
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 3: fourth round, are you thinking, all right, Chandler one point,

657
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 3: oh has to start coming out because I'm starting to

658
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: run out of time because he's had he's had me

659
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 3: on the ground, whether you can. You talked about conceding

660
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: the first one, and second one you kind of tripped

661
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: and he had his way within the second round, third round,

662
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 3: he's on top of you the whole time. Are you

663
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 3: starting to like feel the conditioning were off of me? Like,

664
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 3: all right, I gotta start taking some chances here.

665
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, because also I didn't take any damage. I mean right,

666
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: I mean that was the one thing I mean to

667
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: me as an athlete, and I'm the hardest on myself,

668
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: and obviously my wife is my biggest fan. She's gonna

669
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 2: you know, she's got a skewed version and vision, as

670
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: do you guys, probably, but she's like, yeah, he got

671
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,239
Speaker 2: on top of you and controlled you. But like, I mean,

672
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 2: look at my face. I got a black guy. Part

673
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: of the black eye too, was like I came down

674
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: and headbutted his knee or something in the fifth round,

675
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: Like I've jacked my face up more myself by going

676
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: in and trying to throw punches and running into limbs

677
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: more than actually getting punched in fights sometimes, but he

678
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 2: wasn't doing damage.

679
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: He was just getting on Like if it was wrestling. Yeah,

680
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 3: you're showing the ride time and everything else.

681
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeh, control time, So like it when it comes to that, I,

682
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: if you actually look at it, I landed more strikes

683
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: in the fight than he did, even though he controlled

684
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: and had, you know, because because he would just take

685
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: the back, do the body triangle and then kind of

686
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: just do this number. And we were just playing hand

687
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 2: fighting for you.

688
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: Know, when you're doing the back in the body triangle,

689
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: Who's who's exerting more energy in those positions?

690
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: I was. I was resting a lot, you know, like

691
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: I and I and I and I say that. I

692
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 2: used to hate that word because I think guys pussy

693
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: foot around. They don't fight hard enough, they don't you know,

694
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: their two point fight tactically. But I was just like, well, hey,

695
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: when Charles Olivera has your back, I can choose to

696
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: force this and put myself in a bad situation. I

697
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: can choose to exert a crazy amount of energy with

698
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty shot of getting out. You don't

699
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: get out, you try to create a scramble your your

700
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: cardio goes down, maybe you put yourself in a bad spot,

701
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: get Armbard triangled some something silly, or just let him,

702
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: you know, let him do his thing. And I still

703
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: got I mean, at that point in time, you're in

704
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: the third round, You're like, dude, I still got twelve

705
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: minutes left to fight. Twelve minutes is like an eternity

706
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: inside of there when one punch can finish a fight.

707
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: And and I say that as as a guy who

708
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: I Got'm proud of myself for actually being in there

709
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: and fighting tactically and making conscious decisions rather than you know,

710
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: the you know, Dana calls me the arturial Gatti of

711
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: the UFC type of you know, it's like, that's great.

712
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: I do love that. But also, man, I I was

713
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: one hundred percent confident, one hundred percent positive that this

714
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: is exactly the way it was supposed to be. I

715
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: was going to be Charles Olivera. I was going to

716
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: fight for the title next and this is the way

717
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: it was supposed to be. And I had to fight

718
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: that way as a real professional rather than just a

719
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: guy who goes out there and entertains in a crazy,

720
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: badass fight. Get a bonus fight could be up for

721
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: fight of the Year type of situation, which is all great,

722
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: but man, I'm here for championships. So now that that

723
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: ship is sailed.

724
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 3: In defending off one of the best ground guys who's

725
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 3: known for finishing on the ground.

726
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and it, you know it, it needs

727
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: to be said as well. It's like I've only got

728
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: I've only lost the three guys in the UFC. You know.

729
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: It's like I've lost to Charles. Every single guy that

730
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: I've lost to has been ranked top two or three

731
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: in the world at at that moment. It's Poorier Gaichie

732
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: and Olivera. Olivera choked out and finished a and Gaegee,

733
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: you know, and he wasn't able to do it to me.

734
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: So I mean, it's all all of those things. And

735
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: it's either way. People can draw the conclusions that they want.

736
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: People can love me, they can hate me, but we're

737
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: having fun, we're winning, so thank you.

738
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean hard pressed to find hard press to hate me.

739
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: I mean that fifth round was crazy.

740
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you go ahead, No, no, you were sizing up.

741
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: I was just gonna I was gonna say, like after

742
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 3: the fourth round and in your mind you're like, all right,

743
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 3: I'm down for like, this is it. The guy gotta

744
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: empty the clip. However, I can you go into that

745
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 3: fifth round?

746
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: Buddy, I came up off of Mike.

747
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: You're sitting there like you know, we're watching from a

748
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: different perspective, like you're talking about with Bree. It's like

749
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 3: you're watching your brother. Like you know, I remember watching

750
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 3: Cody all the time, wrestling those feelings, and you're sitting

751
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: there watching the fight unfolding, like he's losing the fight.

752
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: But all he needs is just he just needs a

753
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 3: land of shot. He needs a land of shot. And

754
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: you were being patient, like you're defending them off. You're

755
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: happy every time. It's like he's got you for most

756
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 3: around on the ground. It's like, all right, if he

757
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 3: can last two and a half minutes here, then you

758
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 3: end up doing it. He's checking the clock, he's get

759
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: into the corner. You can tell you're breathing. Fine, It's like,

760
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: all right, he has to go in. This fifth round

761
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: has to go. When you landed that first one, dog

762
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: and I tell you, I was so mad when you

763
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 3: missed those two.

764
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: I was like fuck because you.

765
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: Had him, Yeah, you had him on the ground. I

766
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna call the fight because you're right, Like.

767
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: Because I got my phone out, I'm recording the TV.

768
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, come on, bro, you got it, you just

769
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: go keep going.

770
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: JP and I got our arms around each other. We're

771
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: jumping in the air, like leaning over people, screaming like

772
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: this is fucking eat because yeah, the first four it's

773
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: like it seemed you had your game plan. You did

774
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: the game plan. It was what it was. But like

775
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: you said, it's like you one punch and when you

776
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: cliss one moment he like puts his hand like that.

777
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, he's fucking hurt, and then it falls

778
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: down and then you start coming in with the elbows

779
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: and the punches. I'm just staring at the Red fight

780
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: fucking goll goll it like screaming, bro.

781
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah nobody, yeah, no, Nobody in the last couple of

782
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: years has put Oliver in that position. And I put

783
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: in in that position twice in the first fight and

784
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: in the second fight, and obviously he got finished Islam,

785
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: but that's his only loss. Well arming, but that was

786
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: a kind of a hug fest, right, yeah, man, it was.

787
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: And yeah, hindsight is always twenty twenty man. It's so

788
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: it you go back and you're like, God, if you

789
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: could just put me back in that moment, I would

790
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: have just pushed off and I would have made him

791
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: come back up and just But the other thing too,

792
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: was I think I also knew. You can just tell

793
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: the way I was pursuing him. It was almost like

794
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 2: I was like just tripping toward him. Yeah, you know,

795
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm not making excuses, but like it was.

796
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 2: It was a weird.

797
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: I was on the field and.

798
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 3: Still trying to be like, yeah, I could just go

799
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 3: back to this.

800
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: Last night I watched it and I was like, I

801
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: was not happy.

802
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: You could tell something was up on your legs because

803
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: it seemed like you were walking on uneven surfaces.

804
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 2: It was yeah, you know, we'll see. We cannot say

805
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: anything until we get the MRI results or whatever, but yeah.

806
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: Right there, man, Yeah I was done.

807
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's uh. And and the referee was right there, dude,

808
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: because I mean he took like fifteen shots of the

809
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: year fifteen, and I was like, is he gonna is

810
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: this for? You're gonna freaking step in? Dude? What do

811
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: you think?

812
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: Are you thinking like it's over?

813
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 5: Like is that?

814
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 2: Because well, so the herd. The hard part is there's

815
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 2: kind of an unspoken rule at this point. It's like

816
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 2: it's got to be pretty definitive, like if if, because

817
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: I would want the exact same thing if I was

818
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: up three rounds, four rounds to one or none and

819
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: Charles olivera clipped me, I would want the referee to

820
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 2: not step in unless it's like life or death situation

821
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 2: because I'm up. Just let me survive and I win

822
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: the fight type of situation. And this is where, you know,

823
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 2: this is where the my humility comes in, where I'm like, hey,

824
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: this is the sport, and this is the way things

825
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: are supposed to be. Like I completely get if it

826
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 2: was a different fight. I think Keith Peterson finishes, finishes,

827
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: or steps in and pulls me off of him after

828
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: he takes those fifteen, maybe twenty shots if it's in

829
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: the first few rounds. Yeah, but he's already up a

830
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 2: couple of rounds there. So it's kind of like an

831
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: unspoken rule, let this guy serve vibe unless I need

832
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 2: to save him, unless you know, but he was in

833
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: a bad Yeah, he was in a bad spot. I

834
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: remember when he turned over and he looked at it.

835
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: For some reason, his eyes were red, like I don't

836
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: know if freaking like they were red, like bloodshot, and

837
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 2: he was looking at me, but he wasn't really looking

838
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 2: at me. He was like looking through me, cross eyed

839
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 2: and and just he was he was looking at God.

840
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 2: He was all just head right there. He's like, I

841
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: need to come back. You're good.

842
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: That's a that's supposed to do that.

843
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 5: When you're on top of him and you lean back

844
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 5: and he Mike like took a few deep breasts and

845
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 5: then just starts going back in.

846
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well yeah, And that's and that's one of

847
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 2: Charles Charles's good things because he's he's been He's not

848
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 2: the most dominant guy. If you watch him, you know,

849
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 2: he he gets in bad positions and guys hurt him.

850
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: But he's but he's long and lanky, and he's and

851
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 2: he could close his eyes and and and use his

852
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 2: feet like hands, you know, and and tie you up

853
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 2: and do these things with his big old long limbs.

854
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: So it was it's a tough position to be in

855
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 2: because he's so good at being defensive in those positions

856
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: because he's been in those positions so much. And that's

857
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: what you have to be as a jiu jitsu artist.

858
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 2: You are going to concede the position and let a

859
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 2: guy be on top of you so you can triangle

860
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 2: him and armbar him and do these things. But you

861
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: still have to be very good. Whereas me, I'm not

862
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: that way because I'm not ever on bottom like that,

863
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 2: you know, with a guy on top of me usually.

864
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: So you get in a position and you make one

865
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 2: little movie, you let him advance a little bit, and

866
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: then he's got you tied up and he's just hugging

867
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 2: you with his legs or he's doing something, and then

868
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: you can't land a good shot, right, so remind me.

869
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: So you have him, you have him down. I forget

870
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: what happened next, because we thought it was over and

871
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: then he was.

872
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: Like putting it.

873
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 5: He was like trying to go for your arm in

874
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 5: some weird way. And then that's when I feel like

875
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 5: it kind of got.

876
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 3: It's when you started to see a little like you know,

877
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 3: the conditioning as far as like it's the fifth round

878
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 3: and you're just unloading the clip on him, yeah, whereas

879
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 3: your that's where you're like looking back and back if

880
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 3: I have just stepped away and make him get up.

881
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, but obviously you have to follow him. I mean

882
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 2: that was when I, you know, that's when I I

883
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: go back to it, and I had no weight. Like

884
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 2: when you're on you when you're throwing a left hook,

885
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 2: you want both your weight planted on both of your

886
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 2: feet and if anything, a little bit more on your

887
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: front foot, because that's where you're all the powers coming

888
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 2: from your left hip, which for me is my front hip.

889
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 2: And I threw that hook with my left foot in

890
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: the air because I wasn't putting weight on my left foot,

891
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 2: and this whift fell. We did a complete three sixty,

892
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: and we landed in a good spot for me to

893
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: to land good damage. So I wouldn't have I wouldn't

894
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 2: have stood us up. I wouldn't have stood up then

895
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 2: right away. I would have tried to finish them right there.

896
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: But as soon as the as soon as the action

897
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: kind of stopped and I and I wasn't just dominating

898
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 2: raining punches. It would have been nice to be able

899
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: to just push him away and make them stand up.

900
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: But here we are, and then it gets you to

901
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,959
Speaker 1: the ground what like a minute forty five, a minute

902
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: thirty left, And yeah, that's the point we kind of knew,

903
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: like all right, like did you know, like all right?

904
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 1: He's got me on the ground. This guy's the best ground.

905
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

906
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: Here we are again. Yeah, here we are again. You know.

907
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: And he didn't do any damage. He just held me

908
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: and hugged me and did his thing.

909
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: And yeah, at that point, for him, he doesn't have

910
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: to really do anything, right he control.

911
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 2: And then Chandler Chandler two point okay or Chandler one

912
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 2: point oh, reverted back where I was like, Hey, now

913
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 2: we're like, hey, I'm about to take this one hundred

914
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 2: and eighty pound man with one leg and stand up.

915
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: Wattle ass wattle is.

916
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can't do it right here. We got to

917
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 2: walk to the middle of that monster can and freaking

918
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: slam them twice. And I know it's like it's not like, hey,

919
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: I let me see if I can knock him out

920
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 2: with this thing. I mean, it would have been actually

921
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 2: the craziest thing ever if his he lost his breath

922
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: or he freaking went unconscious. But obviously there was a

923
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 2: zero percent chance of that happening. Really, but I was like,

924
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: this is just for the fans. I looked right at

925
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: freaking Donald Trump and Kid Rock on the first one,

926
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: and then on the second one, as I was getting up,

927
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 2: I was on three points and Hunter Campbell had his

928
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 2: hands like this, and he was just like looking at

929
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 2: me like this is freaking nuts, and we like locked

930
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: eyes and I was like and I smiled at him

931
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: and just did it again.

932
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: Again, dude, when you fucking that. The fifth round was

933
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: maybe the most electric fifth round you could ever ever watch.

934
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: You had him in the corner, he gets you on

935
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: the ground. Like the range of emotions was crazy because

936
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: we're screaming he's gonna do it.

937
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 2: Then he gets you in the.

938
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: Ground, like man, it's over. That sucks. And then you

939
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: sort of stand up and you're like, hey, what's he doing?

940
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: What's he about to do right now? And you literally

941
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: like it was like it was cinema. It was absolutely

942
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: because you're like struggling to get up and he just

943
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: holding on your back and you can see your legs

944
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: shaking and your body shaking. You're like just the the

945
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: power of an alpha male standing up from the people.

946
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: Everyone's like oh, because you can feel the crowd. The

947
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: crowd was like all right, they got his back. Everyone

948
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: and their mother's like all right, they're gonna be on

949
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: the ground for the rest of the time. This fight's over.

950
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: Let's get ready for the John Jones fight. And then

951
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: when you start to quiver your way up with him.

952
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: When I was back, I was like, wait a second

953
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: about it. They were like holy shit, and you stand

954
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: up and then when you mouth fuck it yeah, and

955
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: then on the back, I was like, holy shit, Yeah

956
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: he might not. I in my dumb brain, I'm like,

957
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: he might fucking knock him out.

958
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 2: You might fucking do it. Well, what's really funny is

959
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 2: we already have history. I did it in the first fight, right,

960
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: And I think when he had my back that thought

961
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 2: went through my mind a couple of different times during

962
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: the fight. But I'm like, no, it takes a lot

963
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 2: of energy. It's there's a one percent chance that it

964
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: helps out and does something cool. It's just a cool

965
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 2: it's a wow factor type of situation. But with forty

966
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: seconds left in the fight, You're like, let's wow one,

Speaker 2: Well, so that I thank god because you were so

974
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,680

00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 2: a good job, buddy, he freaking did this, uh and

976
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: kissed me. It was like a show of respect type

977
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: of thing. It was like a good you know, like

978
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: you never heard.

979
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: Of a man seeking his tongue respect.

980
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 3: You just do the body things twice. He's hanging on

981
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 3: You're both just being showman.

982
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, what that was. That was like a moment for us.

983
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 2: And I look back at it and people people are like, oh,

984
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 2: he tapped, you should and like and but and that's

985
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: where the referee did not. I guess you would say,

986
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 2: like follow the rules. It's like if he saw a tap,

987
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: he should, but he knows what's happening. He He's refed

988
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 2: thousands of fights. Charles Olvera does not have a submission.

989
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, his arms are loose around me.

990
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 2: I'm not tapping. It was a it was a pat

991
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 2: on the competitor, right. But yeah, I look back and

992
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, thank god, that would have that would

993
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: that would have sucked.

994
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, bro pulls it off left on the clock.

00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,040

00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 2: I wanted to fight Islam next or Arman could win that.

00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 2: like it's gonna be Connor next.

1050
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: Do you what do you think the reality of Connor

1051
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,359

1052
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: he's got, breaks the pinky toe.

1053
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: In court, in court right now. Yeah, tough week for

00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: the boy, tough week, tough week.

1055
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: Do you think this is is a real reality that

1056
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: he comes back to the octagon.

1057
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's a real reality, but I am

1058
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 2: saying if he does, his road comes straight through Nashville, Tennessee.

1059
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: You know, like his road back to the UFC. We

1060
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 2: have to finish the Ultimate Fighter. The UFC wants to

1061
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: finish the Ultimate fighter. Connor wants to fight me, like

1062
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: there's he can fight anybody. But he made a commitment,

1063
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 2: you know, And I've said this numerous times. I have

1064
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 2: no problem giving my opponents props like I think he is.

1065
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,479
Speaker 2: He's more sentimental and romantic about the sport than people

1066
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 2: give him credit for, because he has become this big, infamous,

1067
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 2: you know brand, right, But he knows he's nothing without

1068
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: that UFC octagon. He knows he's nothing without the UFC.

1069
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 2: He was a plumber on welfare, sleeping on a couch,

1070
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 2: and without the UFC, he's he's nothing, you know. And

1071
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 2: I don't say that to taking anything away from him.

1072
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 2: We all know, you know, we need our we need

1073
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 2: our employers or our brands or whatever to take us

1074
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: to the next level and create the life. Right. So

1075
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: I think he wants to see through to his commitment.

1076
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, I mean, he needs to come back, he

1077
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 2: needs something to chase, or else he's going to keep

1078
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: chasing the wrong things. And if he does, there's a

1079
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 2: guy waiting. And it just so happens that I think

1080
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: I'm one of the top draws in the UFC, like there,

1081

00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: was like, well you are, thank you for saving our country.

1101
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 2: And then from there it was like the entire Avengers

1102
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 2: squad was there, Like the entire group of people that

1103
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: is going to set our country in the right direction

1104
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 2: is there. Plus, my one of my favorite people is

1105
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 2: Tulsi Gabbard.

1106
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: You see what's up to her? Yeah, that was obviously

1107
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: the first time I met her. She is she's got

1108
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: a calm confidence about her. She's got to know her

1109
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: about her, like when she speaks, she just sounds like

1110
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 1: I was in O eight when Obama was running for president.

1111
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: I didn't know shit about politics, still really don't, but

1112
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: I would watch Obama and be like, Yo, this guy

1113
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: just sounds amazing when he speaks, has no idea what

1114
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: he's actually saying. Tulsa gives me the same vibe. It's

1115
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: like she just holds herself very confidently. She had a

1116
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: great energy about her when we were sitting there, and

1117
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: when she speaks, she just sounds like she really just

1118
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 1: speaks very well.

1119
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 2: Tulca Gabbard is going to be the first female president.

1120
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 2: That's that's what that's my hope. I hope Toulsi Gabbert

1121
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 2: is the first female president for you States. So the

1122
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 2: streets you're saying.

1123
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whispers, the CLAMBRANX.

1124
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's is which is great. I mean, I love

1125
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 2: that she's what is she Director of National Intelligence, which

1126
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 2: is really funny because they put her on like the

1127
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 2: terror watch list and all this stuff. It's just like,

1128
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 2: what's really cool from the political side is to see

1129
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 2: the political establishment start to freak out about how unqualified, dangerous,

1130
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 2: and scary all these people are because they are threatening

1131
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: the bureaucracy that has been there going on for the

1132
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 2: last one hundred years and had us taking steps backwards

1133
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 2: because those people have been in power, you know, the

1134
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 2: left has been in power, what twelve of the last

1135
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 2: sixteen years, you know, And so it's exciting. And either way,

1136
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 2: whether you voted one side or the other or you're

1137
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 2: upset about one or the other, either way, it's a change. Like, hey,

1138
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 2: let's just give it a shot. Right, It's no different

1139
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 2: than your seven years into your NFL career. Let me,

1140
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 2: let me just try this thing. It's a little on

1141
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 2: the fringe. It's a little some people hate it, some

1142
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 2: people love it. But let's just try this thing. Like,

1143
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 2: let's try to have a freaking rocket scientist. Let's try

1144
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: to have a guy who was independent in the middle,

1145
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 2: he was on the left and has now come over

1146
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 2: to the right, like, let's just try it. Let's try

1147
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 2: this thing. It's a little bit different than just a

1148
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 2: bunch of suits who have been living the public service

1149
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 2: life for the last forty years and don't have a

1150
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 2: lot of actual moving the country forward to show for it.

1151
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 3: And they got everybody they went in like if if

1152
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen, it's gonna be now.

1153
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then and then if a guy like me,

1154
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 2: who is one hundred percent on board, I look back

1155
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 2: and be like, yeah, rocket science is he's an idiot

1156
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,439
Speaker 2: in politics, he should he was the wrong guy. RFK, Yeah,

1157
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 2: he's an idiot. Never mind. We had high hopes, right,

1158
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 2: But it's like, let's just try something different. That's what

1159
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: America does, dude. America makes innovations and they take big risks,

1160
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,479
Speaker 2: and that was what then the country was founded upon.

1161
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 2: You know.

1162
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: He brought up a good point of the hope thing.

1163
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: And it's like, regardless of left or right or whatever,

1164
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: whoever wins, wherever side of the aisle you lay on,

1165
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: you you want hope, Like, hey, if it wasn't my choice,

1166
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: let's hope this works out for the best, because a

1167
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we just want our country

1168
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: to do as well.

1169
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 3: I'm still gonna be raising a beard before July.

1170
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Trump said it. He said it

1171
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 2: and maybe his uh acceptance speech or whatever, you know, uh,

1172
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 2: and he said it. It's great. It's like success brings

1173
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 2: people together. And if if we are successful with the boys,

1174
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 2: get you really right exactly?

1175
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: You know it's what you watched.

1176
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 2: I did watch I Can Forget, which is freaking amazing.

1177
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 2: You know, like success brings people together. Dude, it's like

1178
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 2: love me or hate me. If I make your life better,

1179
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 2: you gotta give me props for that. You're happy about it?

1180
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of the fear and a lot of

1181
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: the stuff, like hopefully everything just calms down the next

1182
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: couple of years.

1183
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's been. It's been pretty pretty good

1184
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 2: and cordial. Don't watch the news and just live your

1185
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: life and.

00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would be fun. I mean yeah, we

1318
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,920

1320

Speaker 1: You know you hated that, Yeah, it's uh, but but

1321
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,719

1322
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,440

1323
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 2: for me, it's just it just from it needs to.

1324
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 2: I wish people could see what I went through the

1325
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 2: last twelve weeks, and it's like, yeah, it sucked. But

1326
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 2: if you just stick to a plan and you do it,

1327
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 2: and you have discipline and you do not cheat whatsoever,

1328
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: it's all doable. Like I honestly had a very very

1329
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 2: easy weightcut. Did it suck absolutely? Was it painful, yes?

1330
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 2: Was it uncomfortable. Was I ticked off? Yes? But it

1331
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,919
Speaker 2: was a it was an easy weightcut. But the weight

1332
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 2: cut doesn't start the fight week. Weightcut started twelve weeks prior.

1333
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 2: I mean the weight cut started when I I mean,

1334
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 2: I had that conversation with you about Hey, dude, here's

1335
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: the options here, what's going on. I was like, I

1336
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 2: don't want to go to one fifty five. I was

1337
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 2: in the middle of like starting to calorie restrict. I'm

1338
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 2: weighing like one ninety something, one ninety one, and I'm

1339
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 2: like starting a calorie restrict because they wanted me to

1340
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 2: fight October fifth. And I was like, Hunter, I dude,

1341
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 2: you I will make I will make weight. I will

1342
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 2: make weight if I give you my commitment and I

1343
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 2: signed my name on the down line, I will make weight.

1344
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 2: I just think I'm gonna be a shell of a

1345
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 2: human being inside of the octagon, and I'm gonna be

1346
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 2: frail and it probably banged up because of this hard

1347
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 2: weight cut. For it's too soon. Can we do Madison

1348
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 2: Square Garden? And he said no at first, and then

1349
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 2: obviously we know how it played out. I fought at

1350
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden, but I was in the middle. I

1351
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: started way soon because I needed to go from a

1352
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 2: one to seventy body type down to a one to

1353
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,040

1473
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,560

1474
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: When you were doing a water cut, was that you

1475
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:58,480

1478
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been in the b Yeah, I've been the dehydrated.

1479
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 2: I've not been. I mean, I don't understand why this

1480
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 2: severely dehydrated is red. That looks like blood, right?

1481
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: That blood one time was thirteen. It was kind of painful.

1482
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 1: That's why I was wondering if it was painful for you.

1483
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,959
Speaker 2: I think, well, I think my whole body was in pain,

1484
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 2: so I just wouldn't have really noticed. But but yeah,

1485
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 2: it's definitely a different density, you know, because blood compared

1486
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 2: to just urine, whole urethra, whatever that thing is.

1487
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 3: How was it?

1488
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:31,919
Speaker 1: How was Brie after the fight?

1489
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 2: She was good man like she she was. It was

1490
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 2: tough before the fight because she hadn't done it. Twelve

1491
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 2: weeks is over? Yeahah yeah, I mean that's four boards.

1492
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1493
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 2: I remember seeing her Halloween. I was like, how are

1494
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 2: you doing? That's right? We're in it, yeah, because she Yeah,

1495
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 2: she she had a tough time with this one because

1496
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 2: she hadn't done it in two years. I mean we

1497
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 2: would have been together for ten twelve years, married for ten,

1498
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 2: but she's been she's been used to you know, she's

1499
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 2: been used to me fight every six months or so.

1500
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 2: She didn't she wasn't used to it for two years,

1501
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 2: you know. So it was a little bit out kids.

1502
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 2: Yeah and without Yeah, so's she's handling all that, and

1503
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 2: then she's also handling the emotions. Like even when we

1504
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 2: were in New York, like she on fight day, she

1505
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 2: was just sitting in her hotel room by herself for

1506
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 2: like five six hours. I was like, you're good. She's like, yeah,

1507
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 2: I just hanging out. Just want to be by myself,

1508
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 2: you know, because you're also not yourself. Like that's how

1509
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 2: I am around fight week and stuff. It's like, hey, dude,

1510
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 2: let's go do this, Let's go do have dinner. And

1511
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, now, because I'm going to be there, I'm

1512
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:32,919
Speaker 2: not going to be myself and I'm gonna be second

1513
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 2: guessing how am I handling this interaction. I'm not myself.

1514
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 2: I don't really want to be here. We're having a conversation,

1515
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 2: but I don't really care about this conversation. And I'm

1516
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,439
Speaker 2: completely okay with giving myself permission to not care about

1517
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 2: this conversation. Because I have to go fight in a

1518
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 2: cage and twenty four hours type of thing, and she's

1519
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 2: the same thing. It's like we had twenty five friends there, probably, right,

1520
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 2: But she's like, I'm not the normal breed that you

1521
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 2: guys are used to because my husband's about to go

1522
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 2: fight in a cage and my body's doing weird things

1523
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 2: and I don't have an appetite not sleeping well. And

1524
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,400
