Why I 14 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: have to. 15 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 2: Be honest with you. 16 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 3: Every since the day I started the sport, I wanted greatness. 17 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: That was what That's what I was chasing. I never 18 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: chased money, I never chased fame. I never if this, 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 3: If this sport. 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: Was not paying, I would be struggling to get by. 21 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: To be honest with let me ask you this, champ, 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: I love that that point, right, he said, the belt 23 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: doesn't matter to him. No, it's about the money. Can 24 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: you guys have different motivations and still fight at the 25 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: same rate, right, like, at the same level, because if 26 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: you're doing more with that love and he's literally telling 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: me that he's not doing he wants the money, you know, Like, 28 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: can you fight at the same level when there's such 29 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: a difference in the approach. 30 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: You can, But you can't fight me with that as 31 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 3: your motivation. You will be paying all that money to 32 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 3: get out of there. If you're in there with me 33 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,279 Speaker 3: for five rounds. 34 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: If the money is your motivation, that motivation monkey will 35 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: drive away quickly. Money. 36 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: There's no amount of money that's gonna keep you in 37 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: that fight. When I'm in there willing to give my 38 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: life to win. There's money can't buy that. And there's 39 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 3: only one thing. It has to be bigger than you. 40 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: Money is not bigger than me. Passion, legacy and achievement. 41 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: That's bigger than me. Where my country's flag and being 42 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 3: making hissue of my country, bringing that about back home. 43 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: It's not about about It's about. 44 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 3: Bringing that victory home, representing my country, my people, my team, 45 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: my family, my crest, my kids. One day, are going 46 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 3: to look at that that is worth more than any 47 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: amount of money. And that's what I fight for when 48 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: I go out there, to be remembered forever. 49 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: What what what when you guys break down SHAMAIAV what 50 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: makes them so dangerous? I mean, it's it's the start, right, 51 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: it's a takedown, It's the aggressiveness, it's the grappling. Is 52 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: there anything that I'm missing, like because I don't look 53 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: at him as an opponent, right, I've never had to. 54 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: But when you as his opponent watch him and your 55 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: coaches outside of the fast start, the quick takedown, the 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: avalanche coming downhill, what is there to hams at your 57 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: mind that makes them so dangerous? Or do you even 58 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: view him as dangerous? 59 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: Absolutely? 60 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: I think he's an incredibly dangerous opponent. I think he 61 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: has the striking to put you down with one strike. 62 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 3: He has enough power for that. He has the wrestling 63 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 3: to fall back on. If the striking goes south and underground, 64 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 3: he can do it. 65 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: Oh. 66 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: He's an all around fighter with that. He's never lost, 67 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: so he has grown used to winning. And I think 68 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: his whole mindset it works around confidence in training within 69 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 3: his team. This man does not lose in training. I 70 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: don't think he does. I've only heard he doesn't, and 71 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 3: that makes him dangerous because in his mind he only wins. 72 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: You have to teach him how to lose. 73 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: You have to teach him how to lose him. 74 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 3: That's why I'm here because I know what it's like 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: to lose in training every single day. I have felt 76 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: defeat in the professional era as well, and it sucks. 77 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: Giving up when you know what it feels like to 78 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: lose is a lot harder, and giving up if you 79 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 3: don't know, maybe it's not that bad. But Humsad is 80 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: dangerous because he goes out there and he believes that 81 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: he can do what he wants to. He is that 82 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 3: guy on in the school yard who does whatever. 83 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: He wants to and he doesn't get into trouble. 84 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 3: Well, I'm the other guy who just got into the 85 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 3: school and you're not going to get your way with me. 86 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: And that is why this is such a great fight. 87 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: You have two bullies. Who's going out there to see 88 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 3: who's the man on the block. 89 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: Yes, Laarl Murphy undefeated, one of the highest rateed guys 90 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: in the UFC. Aaron not many guys have come over 91 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: and had success recently, Marcus just came over got beat 92 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: I had no idea he got beat Marcus, but got 93 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: beat by that beat him so bad that they cut him. 94 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: The fight was that bad the winner got cut. Patchy 95 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: Mix didn't fight to his ability when he got here. 96 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: Patricio Pittbull didn't fight to his ability when he got here. 97 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: Michael Chandler's two and five or two and six, Right, now, 98 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do different? Right? Because at this 99 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: point the expectation is that the guys come over and 100 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: it's not the same as coach, coach, you tell you 101 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: when we came here from Strikeforce, guys won, right, So 102 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: it was like the Strike Force guys win. The Belaitor 103 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: guys haven't. Like, what are you gonna do to make 104 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: sure that you're not on that side? Especially when a 105 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: guy like Laurn Murphy as the opponent. Well, I can. 106 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 4: I don't want to sound cocky or anything like that. 107 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 4: You know, they're all great fighters, but I'm Aaron Pico. Yeah, 108 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 4: it's it's different in my mind, and that is a concern. 109 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 4: I'd be stupid to say, like, yeah, guys have lost. 110 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 4: But Coach Gibson used you as an example. It used 111 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 4: shrike for as days. These guys came over and they won, 112 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 4: and it can be done, and it's possible, and you 113 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 4: have the skills to do it. 114 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 5: So I. 115 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: Trust my coaches. 116 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 4: I I know how I work and what I know. 117 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 4: I can compete with the best guys in the world. 118 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 4: But I'm not one of those guys that comes over 119 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 4: and h and says, oh, yeah, I'm gonna do this 120 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 4: and do that. No, I know that this is the 121 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 4: best fighting organization in the world. And I'm not naive. 122 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 4: I'm not stupid like I'm just gonna come in here. 123 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: I know what I'm gonna do, but I have to 124 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 4: go out there and prove it. You know, I keep 125 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 4: I still keep my mind sharp. I've taken losses before. 126 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 4: I know what it feels like to lose. And with 127 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 4: that being said, I've trained my ass off. I've dotted 128 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 4: every you know, I dot my eyes and cross my 129 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 4: t's and all I can do is go go out 130 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 4: on Saturday night and do my job. 131 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 5: If I do that, I feel. 132 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 4: I'll get my hand raise. 133 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: So Lron Murphy's a guy that he just wins. Right. 134 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: It's not always the most fan friendly, even though it's striking, 135 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: but he just knows how to create situations where he 136 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: always comes out in front. He's fast, he's big, he's explosive, 137 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: and he's just a flat out winner. How do you 138 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: approach that challenge? Whenever you found out it was Look, 139 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: most don't want to fight a Loyev because of the 140 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: wrestling you that's not an issue, right, So I'm preparing 141 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: for another wrestler that gets me excited. It's easier for 142 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: the wrestler, especially one of our caliber. But when you 143 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: get a guy like Lron who doesn't seem to have 144 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: that ability, but he's just a much better striker and 145 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: a guy, it seems very very good overall, Like, what 146 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: did you guys make? And I know Coach Gibson is 147 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: a great coach, right, I've had to fight him on 148 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: multiple occasions compete against him, and I respect him tremendously. 149 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: But what's the original thought when you get Loron Murphy 150 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: now instead of if Loyev and you guys get some 151 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: tough ass fights when you first get here, you ain't 152 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: getting no easier fights when you Joo. Yeah, it's a 153 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: good question. 154 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna you're a wrestler, so you know 155 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: when you watched my wrestling match against Jordan Oliver. 156 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: Yep, Jordan Oliver is. 157 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 4: The best at footwork and he and he's uh, he's 158 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 4: he fakes, he jukes. 159 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: He he can, he's fast how to win. And what 160 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: I did was is I put pressure. I just smother. 161 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 4: You have to smother him. Of course, fighting is a 162 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 4: little bit different, and I am aware of that. I 163 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 4: can't just go in there and just go guns blazing, 164 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: but I have to smother him. I have to make 165 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 4: it basically, make his life stressful in that that octagon. 166 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 4: I can't you know, Oh, let me show you my 167 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 4: footwork and let's dance. No, it's we gotta make the 168 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 4: fight ugly. When we take him down, we got to 169 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 4: bust him up with elbows. So when he does get up, 170 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 4: he's his uh, his gas, his gas is going a 171 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 4: little bit. The fakes, the jukes, the running is a 172 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 4: little bit less. And it's just one of those fights 173 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 4: where you're like, I gotta I gotta fucking go. Yeah, 174 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 4: there's no time to let's see how good I am 175 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 4: and my striking and let's go tip for tat. Now 176 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,119 Speaker 4: you got to make this fight ugly. 177 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: Lauren, When did you get when did you hear of this, 178 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: like the make Comain event UFC three nineteen, Like, what 179 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: was your initial thought? 180 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: Right? 181 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: Because he was gonna fight a lawyer two wrestling guys. 182 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: You're a striker, right, Like what was your thought when 183 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: they said, hey, we want you to fight Aaron Pico 184 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: at UFC three nineteen outside of just give me more money, right, 185 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: because most people want more money to fight, like, of course, 186 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: get paid, But like, what was your original thought? For me? 187 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 6: I just need a big breakthrough. I need I need 188 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 6: a chance. I need an opportunity to get where I 189 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 6: need to get and not to the title fight. So 190 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 6: for me, it's like the opportunity couldn't pass up. A 191 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 6: lot of people would say sit out and wait for 192 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 6: a better fight, but for me, it's a massive cad 193 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 6: and a massive spot comine event. Couldn't pass it up. 194 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: So when you look at this fight, like what does 195 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: it do for Laurent Murphy Because you're undefeated, You're the 196 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: guy that has a long win streak in the UFC, 197 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: You're the guy that would seem to be getting very 198 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: close to a championship opportunity. What's the win in this 199 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: for you? Outside of being on the big card. 200 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 6: The win is supposed to be the number one content 201 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 6: to fight before, like you said, it's supposed to fight Mothsa. 202 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 6: Dana come out and said that that's the number one 203 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 6: contented spot. So I've been shifted into that place now 204 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 6: in my eyes. So with a win over r and Pako, 205 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 6: I'm next in line. 206 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: Oh you want a title you should have a title 207 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: shot for sure. 208 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 5: For sure. 209 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 6: Who's who's more deserving than me? Movsar was, but he 210 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 6: pulled out a fight. So I believe I'm noan now 211 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 6: if I. 212 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: Win, and if you win, that would obviously lead to 213 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: a championship opportunity, hopeful against Alexander Volkanowski. Like you when 214 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: you do you likee something of that? Like, man, I've 215 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: been doing this for so long.

Because 254 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: if I'm fighting Laurel Murphy, You're if it's a fifteen 255 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: minute fight, my intention is to have you on your 256 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: back for twelve of them. Yes, taking you down in 257 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: the first minute of every round, because then that gives 258 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: me an opportunity to slow you down. Your footwork and 259 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: everything is what really does frustrate people and make it 260 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: hard to fight. What have you done to make sure 261 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: that isn't the case comes Saturday night? 262 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 6: Well, I know that, I know that most people's game plans, 263 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 6: So I've been working on the life my lifetime really 264 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 6: in MMA.

Part 323 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: of the argument was the inactivity. He goes, he does 324 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: fight enough, so it'll become a mess. That's the idea 325 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: a little bit. But you're here now in the US, 326 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: so clearly you can get here to fight.
