Today, I am joined by one 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: of the best lightweights in the world. I would say 4 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: he's one of the best lightweights that we've ever seen 5 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: because of his style, his ability, his composure inside the octagon, 6 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: and so much more. This guy's a wrestler, He's a 7 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,159 Speaker 1: number one contender. He's not all out savage. Sometimes you 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: get an athlete that comes into the game and they 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 1: are such a student of the game that they just 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: pursue greatness and pursue getting better at every single step. 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: That's exactly what Armanserukian does. So right now why he 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: is still actively the number one contender in the weight class. 13 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: He goes out in the wrestles, he does grappling competitions. Hell, 14 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: if they would let armand box, I'm pretty sure Armanserukian 15 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: would box if given the opportunity. This guy's a fighter 16 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: through and through. But it's not justifighting that defines ar 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: montseruki On.

I was born in Georgia and 37 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: then I moved to Russia, so when I was three 38 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: years old or two and a half years old. So, 39 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: but I remember my childhood from the from the from Russia. 40 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 41 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: So uh, the beginning was was was we had a 42 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: hard life, you know, because we just moved there. You know, 43 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: my father we didn't have a house, you know. But 44 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: and then my father started working hard and they make money. 45 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: And then we got the house. We get all opportunities, 46 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: and we went to school. And when I was seven, 47 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: I went to the wrestling school or six, now my 48 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: brother he was eight. I was six and I went 49 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: to the freestyle wrestling school. 50 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: What what made you take up wrestling? 51 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: Like? 52 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: What was it? 53 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 2: That? 54 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: Was it your dad that said, Hey, I'm gonna put 55 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: my boys in wrestle. 56 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: The first we went to karate karate. We went to karate, 57 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: but karate was a little bit far from our house 58 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: and our dad cannot he couldn't drive us to there. 59 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: So and the close to our home was a freestyle 60 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 2: wrestling gym. So that's why we decided to go there. 61 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: And we liked the freestyle wrestling. And I stayed there 62 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: three or four years, and then I transitioned to hockey. 63 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: Because this is crazy, Like all my teammaters from my school, 64 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: they all day they played hockey, you know, I said. 65 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: And I was playing with them like amateur too, But 66 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: still I was wrestling. I was competing wrestling like when 67 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: I was nine nine, but still like three times a 68 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: week I winter time, I go to the ice and 69 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: play with them. And then one course said you play 70 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: pretty good, So you got to train the hockey. You 71 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: can be a hockey player. And then I quit the 72 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: wrestling and I started playing hockey all day. 73 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: Why did you quit? Why'd you quit wrestling? You said 74 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: you liked it so. 75 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: Much, but hockey was more fun. And especially you don't 76 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: cut weight when I was seven. 77 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: You were cutting weight at seven? 78 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 2: Yeah? Seven eight? Why the coaches they just you know, 79 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: they didn't know, like we shouldn't cut. They told us 80 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: you shouldn't eat like two days, you know, don't drink anything. 81 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: You got a cut and go for this weight class. 82 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: How involved was your dad in your wrestling at a 83 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: young age. 84 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: No, he wasn't a wolf. He just gave us to 85 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: there and he said, do whatever you want to do. 86 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: Just if you need help, just let me know. And 87 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: then I said I want to be a hockey player, 88 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 2: and he said, no problem. So he bought me all 89 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: my all the hockey stuff, you know, because it's it's 90 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: a little bit expensive. And then he said, if you 91 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: need like a professional coach, or bring somewhere or send 92 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: you to Canada or whatever you want. So I said, no, 93 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: here is pretty good. And they stayed there and then 94 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: I couldn't be a good hockey player. 95 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: Why why couldn't you be getting hockey? 96 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: I started a little bit late. I started nine. I 97 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: was supposed to start like when I was five six, 98 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: because that three years when I nine is a little 99 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: bit late for hockey. That's crazy nine years old because 100 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: the competition is in different So let's see I'm nine, 101 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: like ten, they already playing like full five years really, yeah, 102 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: like from five years they play. 103 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: So when you were playing hockey, how much did you 104 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: use what you learned on the wrestling mat in hockey? 105 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: Tackling people, hitting people, checking people, Like, how much of 106 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: that did you use? 107 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: I use one. We are in the locker room and 108 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 2: fighting in the locker room, so I was I was 109 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: using my wrestling yeah. Yeah, so you're immediately the toughest guy. Yeah, 110 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: But on the ice, I wasn't that good on the fighting. 111 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: So people that my teammateer, they they didn't try to 112 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 2: mess with me, you know. 113 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: So when you when you went from wrestling at nine 114 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: years old to hockey, how long before you got back 115 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: into wrestling, Because if you're living in Russia, wrestling is 116 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: number one. At least that's our idea of it. From 117 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: the outside, Like wrestling is the number one sport in Russia? 118 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: How long were you away from it? No, it depends 119 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 2: which party you leave. So I lived the close to 120 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: Yakuk and even the close to Alaska. You know, yeah 121 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: that part everybody played hockey, and this hockey is so 122 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 2: popular there. So number one sport was in my series hockey. 123 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: That's why I played hockey. 124 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: And how long were you were you away. 125 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 2: From wrestle until seventeen. 126 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: Years seventeen years old? What made you go back? 127 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: So I couldn't be a good hockey player? And they 128 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 2: said what I got? Were you just bad? No? No, 129 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: they did just picked three hour guys, the best ones, 130 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 2: and then like other like twenty five thirty people, they 131 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: just went to the like I don't know, they went 132 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 2: to the college. They played for the college. But not 133 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: like professionals, you know. They they they couldn't make money 134 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: from them. But three of them they could go to 135 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 2: the different clubs. And the one of our friends, he 136 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: went to the NHL. So yeah, but uh, and then 137 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: the grappling was so popular that moment the groppling, and 138 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: they said, okay, what I can do? I cannot be 139 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: a rust I cannot be I should go to try 140 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: to this groppling. And I tried groppling and I won 141 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 2: Russian competition right away, and they said it's so easy, 142 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: maybe I should fight. You're starting. I started fighting. I 143 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: started fighting, really yeah. And then my father said, okay, 144 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: so then just a sport, just do one fight and 145 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: like get out of there because you can be stupid? 146 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question? A lot of times, 147 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: especially over there right we hear stories of could be 148 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: uh Islam. So many of the Russian fighters, their fathers 149 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: were like on them and they were very strict, and 150 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: they were very tough, and they almost they were on 151 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: them to make sure that they turned out to be 152 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: what they wanted to be, held them accountable to their goals. 153 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: Was your dad like that at all? 154 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: Or was he more just a supportive person that was 155 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: just on the journey with you. 156 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: No, he just supported me. He never said me, why 157 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: you're like sleeping, you gotta go to train, or he 158 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: never been in the sport. He doesn't know like how 159 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: sport works. You know. He just supported me. I did 160 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: what I wanted to do, and but uh in I'm like, 161 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: I like sport, that's why you do it? And I 162 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: like I left sport. That's why, so I can't do it. 163 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: You know, you're a bit of an outlier though, because 164 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: most of us have someone on us, whether it's a 165 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: father or a coach. Where was that motivation from for 166 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: you when you were a young kid to not only 167 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: go try to pursue hockey.

The kids do cut a lot, 403 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: but they're older, right, like sixteen, fifteen, seventeen, Okay, but 404 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: when you're nine, seven eight years old, No, they should 405 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: not because. 406 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the worst part for the wrestler, especially like 407 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: seven eight until like fourteen years old. No makes sense. 408 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 2: It's only doesn't matter what are you doing. You win, 409 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: you lose, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. But when 410 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: you're sixteen seventeen, you gotta start like pick it up 411 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: and winning. If you're losing when you're eighteen, you're losing, 412 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: you gotta transition to MMA. 413 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're making it seem like MMA is the easier option, 414 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: and that's not the case. 415 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: It's easier option for sure than to be an Olympic 416 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 2: champion in freestyle wrestling. 417 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: It's impossible being Olympics chair.

Being Olympic champion and free sty wrestling 419 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:46,959 Speaker 1: is impossible. 420 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: Almost from five million people, one can can be. So 421 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: you know, anybody who started like freestyle wrestling thirty years 422 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 2: old and like became an Olympic champion, you know you 423 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 2: know did you know who?

I wonder if he was a Georgian guy. 432 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: He was really good. Kingmo beat him every single time. 433 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: Look this up from me, Paul, two thousand and eight 434 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 1: Olympic Games, eighty four kilo Graham champion. 435 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: But he did go did he go to a league? 436 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: Got beat in America by a guy that wasn't as good, 437 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: but because the guy had a good style for him. 438 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: Guy lost the first match. But he started at fourteen, 439 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: and it was unheard of that he was so close 440 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: because the rest of us all started real young, and 441 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: we were on the Olympic team. But it's damn near 442 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: impossible if you start late.

Okay, So you got like two and 460 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 2: a half or three weeks so, and and I knew, 461 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 2: like I'm going to beat him. I don't know why 462 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 2: I thought like I'm going to beat him because I 463 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 2: was super confident, because you gotta be confident. You can't 464 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 2: believe you're gonna Look. For example, if I didn't take 465 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: that chance, I could be at home right now, maybe 466 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 2: I never could come in US and like learn English 467 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 2: and like never be in UC like I could fight 468 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 2: in my country. And you know, if I didn't take 469 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: that chance, that moment. 470 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: And it legitimized you, right, away, right, because everybody's like, wow, 471 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: this kid fought Islam so good and he didn't have 472 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: a training camp. 473 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good fight. And then I started 474 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 2: winning fights and remach almost happened, but it almost happened, 475 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 2: almost happened. I pulled my back. But you see that 476 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: we fought the first time, and like almost in six years, 477 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: we again almost fought. Because we're the best in the division. 478 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: And he always kind of gives you praise for even 479 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: when they asked today, like who's the best lightweight in 480 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: the world, he always says, I believe armand Trukiah. Yeah, 481 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: and that's the respect that probably was earned inside the 482 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: oclon on that night when you guys fought. 483 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish we could fight lost year this time. Yeah, 484 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 2: it would be would be the best maybe fight in 485 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: the all time. 486 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: Why why do you think it would have been such 487 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: a great fight. 488 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 2: Because it's, uh, we're such a well rounded fighters, and uh, 489 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 2: you know, we have a story. Like we fought when 490 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: we were young, and like was six years ago.

This guy's not one contender because it seems 550 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: very clear that you should be fighting for the championship. 551 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: That doesn't happen. You go and fight Dan Hooker, you 552 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: smash Dan Hooker. We do an interview day after. People 553 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: are going crazy, so many people watched it. Everybody's aligned 554 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: Armand's rouki On isn't the one contender. It seems like 555 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion that when there is a title fight, 556 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: it's going to be Armand's Roukia. But that doesn't happen. 557 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: Do you buy it? Do you buy the reason that 558 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: you're not getting the title fight because you head butted 559 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: uh Dan Hooker? Do you believe that that's the reason 560 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: you're not getting a title fight. 561 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 2: It could be, it could be, and uh, I think 562 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 2: this is paramount first fight. The first paramount, I went, 563 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: that's why they're a little bit scared to put me 564 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: there because I pulled out from my well, I pulled 565 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 2: out once in my life from my fight, and they 566 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 2: they doesn't believe that they can make it happen. And 567 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: the second one had But third one is that I 568 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 2: punched the fan. I don't know the fan makes sense 569 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 2: a fan all. Yeah, But like I gotta I gotta 570 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: meet and talk to them. What was the real. 571 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: Have you have you spoken to No? No, why. 572 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 2: They didn't? Have you requested a meeting? No? Why? 573 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: Because you need to get you need to clear this up. 574 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I have a manager, so he pay him money. 575 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: Has he has he requested a meeting? 576 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 2: I think he's going to get the meeting.

So first a 579 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: couple of days, I said, yeah, what's going on? Like 580 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 2: why is like that? But I said, okay, it's okay, 581 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 2: you know, and I just keep going and I know, 582 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 2: like I'm gonna get my title fight anyway, and it's 583 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 2: a it's a business tool. You gotta see, like maybe 584 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 2: there's a lot of people from Russia, you know. Now 585 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 2: they don't have a US champions. They don't have like 586 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 2: England champions. So maybe yeah, but he's he's current. No, 587 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 2: the intertent. You need to have aweight champion because John 588 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 2: jo oh yeah yeah yeah, but still so from you 589 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 2: as they don't have a champion, we don't have a champion. 590 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 2: So that's why maybe they put the gay Gee versus Patty. 591 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 2: I have no I just I just guess you know 592 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 2: what I'm saying. 593 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: It's the same, right, if it's Geichee versus Arman, we 594 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: could still have an American champion. 595 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 2: I'm so armen. 596 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying it's a possibility, right, Like Patty Pimblet versus 597 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: Justin Geichee, Patty Pimlet versus Arman's rook and arms Roukan 598 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: versus Justin Gaichee. Anybody can win any fight, right, So 599 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: you could beat these guys or you could lose to 600 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: these guys in the way fighting works. I'm just saying, yeah, 601 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: but on any given night, right, yeah. 602 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: It could be. But they peaked that five well, what 603 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 2: can I do. 604 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying I'm just saying, like, because you 605 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: are fine with it. But it seemed like even me, right, 606 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: I was like, I was so confused. And I work 607 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: with this company right, very closely, and I'm like, how 608 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: it just didn't make sense to me. 609 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 2: Yeah maybe maybe really it's a head bud.

He's just tough 622 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 2: but not technical. He's wild, wild, But you know, Geige, 623 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 2: he is if he's in good shape, he's going to 624 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 2: be calm first two rounds and he takes he he 625 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: knows he's he has a lot of experience. See he 626 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 2: beats two times physive. 627 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: How striking. 628 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, first first round he gives a lot of like 629 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 2: cakes and no he let kick him, He let like 630 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 2: do a lot of things on him. But the second yeah, 631 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 2: he's starting like tack it up. Yeah, and the same 632 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 2: is gonna be here, I think, and I believe, like 633 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 2: dress Engage, you're gonna be gonna beat him by ko 634 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 2: oh by by by decision. 635 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: Sorry, but Patty never looked better than he did when 636 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: he fought Michael Chandler. He was able to take him down, 637 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: he was able to control him. His ground game is 638 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: pretty good. He's saying he can finish his fighting less 639 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: than three rounds. He thinks he's just better. What do 640 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: you you think he's just talking or like, what do you. 641 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 2: Make of that? We never see him as a good fighter. 642 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 2: So if he could beat Charles Alver, if he could 643 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 2: beat me, and then of course we can say, yeah, 644 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 2: this guy is for sure gonna win. But we see 645 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 2: them with the trash cans to that he fought like Chandler. 646 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 2: You don't think Chandler's very good Chandler Bobby Green Boot 647 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: King Green King Green boot to Ferguson, Tonya Ferguson.

You 688 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: said you don't think Patty will fight you? 689 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm bad style.

You know. 692 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 1: So if that's the case, then how you're going to 693 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: get your title fight? 694 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 2: Armit?

No, I don't see anybody who I 712 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 2: can't fight. So if Halloway beats Olivera, I can't fight Halloway. 713 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 2: But I don't know you've seen it that or not, 714 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 2: because seize money for me, but they can they can 715 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 2: give me that fight for even for BMF.

Because I remember the Charles Oliver fight and 732 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't as close as people say it was. It 733 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: was a good fight, but you seem pretty comfortable in 734 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: that fight. But this Dan Hooker fight, you just dominated 735 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: him and it looked like you guys were on completely 736 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: different levels and he was riding hot.
