00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: to know the first thing, why, UFC? Why put your

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: body in your face and your arm legs do all that?

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: You get that question from all the time, don't you

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: Why you ain't doing it? Did because I ain't bigg enough.

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: You don't have to be big. Yeah, you can be

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 1: in a different weight class. Oh, I just I just

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: like you know, competition. So that's just who I am.

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Anything that's you know that can possibly hurt you, I'm

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: down for it. Besides bungee jumping and scott diving. I

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: definitely tried. I always wanted to. You guys grow up

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: beating people up in school and somebody said, hey man, stop,

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, just wasting your talents. Yeah, we were probably

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: pretty good in high school that, yeah, I was. I

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: was good. I've never been in a fight really until

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: out of high school. Really yeah, like in the street,

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: just in the general. I was just always athletic and

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: just tough, you know, being a kid growing up in

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: the country. I mean I fell out of trees and

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: all types of stuff like that and I still live.

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: So I was like, why not try something from Georgia, right, yeah,

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: part of Georgia raised on a dirt road. Nah. He

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: tried to bond. No, No, I got you now, like

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: the Marris Thomas place for the the demo Broncos. He's

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: from my hometown, NA for training. No, he doesn't. He

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: were not with me at least. And then Eric Walden

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: plays for thank he plays for the coach. Now, Anthony,

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: you the top right guy, right, You're supposed to fight

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: A Bones Jones. Yeah, I was supposed to. But then

37
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: he wouldn't did cocaine, right, he did? He did some things,

38
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: but you know, that's just things he has to deal with.

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: You know. Now I have Daniel Cormier who I'm fighting,

40
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: so that's what's my focus on right now. But disappointed, Yeah,

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed because every because you know, when you get

42
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: to this level, you want to fight the best of

43
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: the best, And even though John isn't here right now,

44
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: he's still the best of the best in my opinion.

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: So I still have mad respect for him. I still

46
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: want to fight him. You know, it's nothing personal. It's

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: just I want to see if I can beat the King.

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: I think he will. Just you don't want to be

49
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: on top and then get booted like he did and

50
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: then not finish what you started. So I think he's

51
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: gonna come back even stronger. How long do you take

52
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: off between fights? A month? A month? Yeah, unless you

53
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: get unless you get injured, unless you get injured. Man, geez,

54
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: when you look at somebody like Balls Jones, don't you

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: know they say he did have a little drugge you

56
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: don't you feel like you gotta have some type of

57
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: vice for what y'all do to take the heads off? Nah,

58
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: I think you need to support yourself with good people. Yeah, yeah,

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: good people. I mean, I think we're all capable of

60
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: doing super things, right, so you gotta be smart enough

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: to surrounde you some people that aren't going to put

62
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: you in those situations. It's not easy. It's easier. Now,

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: do you beat somebody until they say uncle or does

64
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: it ref stop? You can probably kill somebody in the face.

65
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a controlled environment. It's a controlled environment.

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: You know. You got you your opponent, and the ref,

67
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: the ref isn't gonna let you take too much damage

68
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: unless he absolutely knows that you can take it, you know.

69
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: And I've seen some guys get beat up and just

70
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: keep going, you know, and those are the toughest guys

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: to fight. I hate fighting guys like that. Now, Chris,

72
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: you yourself to have said that after an injury you

73
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: come back stronger because your bones are actually stronger after

74
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: you've had certain injuries, right, yeah, I mean your bones

75
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: are strong. But also, like anytime you have a setback

76
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: of anything, any part of any part of life, you know,

77
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: you you have to learn from it. And so I

78
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: think having injuries is one way of doing that, you know,

79
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, becoming better from a setback. Sometimes I prevent you, though,

80
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: from having that fight that you anticipated having because they

81
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: can't wait on you obviously when you get injured it

82
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: and they're like, okay, yeah, well my fight actually had

83
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: to get pushed back because I got to injury and

84
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: frash my ribs and so, but thank god we were

85
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: able to hold the fight together. And still I'm still fine, Vito.

86
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm a twenty third, so it's good. Why do you

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: think the UFC isn't as big as boxing yet? Because

88
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: it's way more exciting, well, at least, I'm not gonna

89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: say it is way more exciting than like the big

90
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 1: fights like the Pakia may Weather stuff. But it seems

91
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: like people on it. Well, I feel like that's all

92
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: you have though who else? Who else is there? And

93
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like MMA. I feel like MMA

94
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: is already is bigger, has been around for so yeah,

95
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: that the world knows about boxing, we're still very new

96
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: because when we tried to come in here, we told

97
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: the security guy in the front desk, you know we

98
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: were with the UFC, said us see we were like, man,

99
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: Chris were just like, you know, this is still a

100
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: new sport and we've been around for how many years now,

101
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: like fifteen something like that. You can't have fighting. Hang on,

102
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Let's get something straight. Boxing is not fighting. It's just

103
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: one element of fighting. It's like saying wrestling is fighting,

104
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: So saying you know, karate is fighting, you have to

105
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking around you if you say, it's not fighting.

106
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: The UFC is exactly what you're allowed to do on

107
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: the streets without bringing any weapons to the game. It's

108
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: pretty much as real as it gets. Boxing is just

109
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: throwing your hands. You can't kick, you can't take the

110
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: dude down, you can't submit them. I mean, it's really

111
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: not fighting. It's just one aspect. It's a it's an

112
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: amazing part of it. With her name Ronda Rosy, she

113
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: said she could beat me whether I was like she

114
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: probably could. She probably could. She could do You feel

115
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: it's offensive when boxes are always like, Okay, I'm gonna

116
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: start doing you know, MMA now, and people feel like

117
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: they could really just step into it and they don't

118
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: realize it is a whole Boxing has a mentality just

119
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, they have so many people in their ears

120
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, you're the best year of the

121
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: champ you can do whatever. I think. They getting mixed

122
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: up a little bit and it drives them crazy, so

123
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: they feel like they're on top of the world whenever

124
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: they actually get in there with somebody that knows mixed

125
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: martial arts, and once they hit the ground, they're like

126
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: a fish out of water. They don't know what they do.

127
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: From that point, they're done and they go back to boxing. Yeah,

128
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: who made a brother from the hood learn how to

129
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: do the mixed martial arts thing? Um? You know, I

130
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: was in college and wrestling, and I was finished with wrestling.

131
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to try and you know, try and

132
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: go out for the Olympics or anything. So I just

133
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: kind of fell into it. You got belt and stuff like,

134
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: you know, like a black belt. No, oh, so you

135
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: didn't go like the actual And that's what I'm saying.

136
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: I never I never did any martial arts. I never

137
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: threw one single punching wrestling. But wrestling that was it.

138
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: But help, So how did you get in because it's

139
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: UFC is not even here right? Yeah, it's been Yeah,

140
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: same exact thing. I started with wrestling. I wrestled throughout college,

141
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: and then I kind of grew up fighting a lot.

142
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: So I kind of always even if I was the

143
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: loser to a dude and wrestling, I'd always be like, no,

144
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: he definitely can't beat me in a fight. So I

145
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: just ended up feeling like this is kind of what

146
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: I was meant to do, and then I try it

147
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 1: for the two thousand Olympics. I got injured before the trials,

148
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: and I was like, let me try mixed martial arts

149
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: and I just fell in love with it. But when

150
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: the last time you thought christ because like you got bruises.

151
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: Now I'm I'm in a tough training camp. This is

152
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: actually from a headbut you know so yeah, no training

153
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: camp is you know, you want your training camp to

154
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: almost be harder than the fight. So when you get

155
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: in there, you know you're not uncomfortable. There's nothing that

156
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: you haven't seen before. So how do you get the

157
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: key looy things on you? Oh the college flower, that's

158
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: just colle flower is just like bruising. So you could

159
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: get it from boxing, you get from wrestling. But it's

160
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: basically when your ear gets hit, it swells up with

161
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: blood and if it gets hit again and gets hit again,

162
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: ends up calcifying and then you're you're you're just yeah,

163
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: that's crazy. I mean, I just thought about it, like

164
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: the training have to be that intense because because when

165
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: you go actually fight, it's on level media. There's nothing.

166
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: What I don't think there's one thing worse in the

167
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: world than to be in a fight with a with

168
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: a professional athlete. I'm trying to take your head off

169
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: and you're tired, you can't do anything. Thanks. I mean,

170
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: there's nothing worse than that. So you have to make

171
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: sure you were training, you know, like a crazy man,

172
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: so that doesn't happen. I think I think about the money.

173
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: That's what keeps me standing. How much fighting is it?

174
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Just you can give his ballpark because a lot of

175
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: kids would love to know. How much money do you get?

176
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: Good money? I mean to me is you know, it's

177
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: like anything, you have to start from the ground up.

178
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: You might make five hundred your first fight, the first

179
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: fight you could it could be. It depends on the promotion. Yeah, yeah,

180
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: be more than that. Yeah, it happens like that sometimes.

181
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: But then you know, when you're at the top of

182
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: the food chain, you can make you know, a half

183
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: a meal or more. You know, it just depends. Wow.

184
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the training helps you all out in

185
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: the bedroom too, like when you're smashing chicks. Nothing. Who's

186
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: the worst type of fighting? The fight always says he

187
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: will never fight a Mexican because he says, Mexicans don't stop.

188
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: They don't stop. Now, they have heart, they have hard heart.

189
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: You gotta kill him. The only book person you're upcoming fight.

190
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: But for he's Brazilian right teams Anthony's team, How you

191
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: give him some tips on how he can did? Did that?

192
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: Does seem? And this is Aaron in Florida, right, so

193
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: Victoria all his weaknesses. Now, do you think that I'm

194
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: actually knowing things like jiu jitsu and stuff like that?

195
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: That does put you in an advantage? Yeah, I mean

196
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: you have to know everything to get to the top.

197
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: Where where where where we are at right now, Like

198
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: you have to know every single martial order. If you don't,

199
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: that's that's how the guy's going to beat you. So

200
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: we have to be the best we possibly can and

201
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: be masters in Brazilian jiu jitsu and kate boxing, boxing

202
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: and tie and tie um in wrestling. So you have

203
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: to be the best you can be in every one

204
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: of those things. Why is it illegal in New York?

205
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: It was a lot of it was basically corruption, basically

206
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: some dirty politics in New York. And one of those

207
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: guys he's not here anymore. One of the guys will

208
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: hold back from being voted for voted for an assembly.

209
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: He just got arrested. So I thought you made like

210
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: you killed him. Yeah, he's no longer What the but

211
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: it feels like it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen soon.

212
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen soon. They actually have a date set

213
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: December six and Madison Square Gardens they put it. They

214
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: put it a date set, so they put it aside.

215
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: I want to hopefully that will be a weapon. What

216
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: would that do for the sport? For to be in

217
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: a major market like Neil, I mean, this is the

218
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: epicenter of fighting. This is where you know, I leave

219
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: was at, you know, I mean the you know, Frasier

220
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: and all these other dudes in boxing. Their names were

221
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: Grace were graced on that Masster Square Garden bill boarding.

222
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: For us to have that there is just be amazing.

223
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: And for it not to be there, it's just insane.

224
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: It's been We're literally allowed to fight in every other

225
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: place in the world besides New York. That's crazy. There's

226
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: something wrong with that. Have you guys ever did this?

227
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: Like my son wrestles right, and I always thought to myself,

228
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: if somebody has you in the move right where you stuck,

229
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: why not tickle him? Have y'all ever try that? Because

230
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: your fingers is loose, y'all put him in a move

231
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: for me. Actually, that was a great on TV. You

232
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: don't have them, you don't have much time to think

233
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: like that. If I put you, if I put you

234
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: in a naked choke right now, because you're not thinking,

235
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: let me take them for five so that you can

236
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: put them in the riddle. Now, how are the endorsement

237
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: deals looking at because I'm sure the endorsement deals are

238
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: pouring in because I've heard a lot of people say

239
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: they would come into Vegas and have meetings to endorse

240
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: UFC be rolling in like that everything is cool. I

241
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: should say, you know right now, Um, we'll see, we'll

242
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: see everything works out. I think we just signed with

243
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: Rebodi pretty much, so it's a big chance. Thanks. I

244
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: was actually there because I was during the Floyd Mayweather fight,

245
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: the previous one a couple of fights ago, when they

246
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: were coming down and trying to sign the UFC deal. Yeah,

247
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: so it's signed. I think starting July fifth or six,

248
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be set in motion where you won't see

249
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: the UFC fighters out there with all different types of

250
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: sponsors anymore. It's gonna be just reboking maybe one or

251
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: two that the UFC allows in the cage. So it's

252
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: gonna be more like like the NFL, or or more

253
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: like the NFL basically like where you're sponsored by Rebok

254
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: or or Nike or whatever. And once again, that's where

255
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: it's tough because you have guys that have to start

256
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: from the ground up, you know what I mean. And

257
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: of course the lawyer you are, the less you get paid.

258
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: But you can build up to where you need to be.

259
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: But once again, you got to put that work in

260
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: at the gym to get where you want to be.

261
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: Do they encourage you'll to do things outside of the

262
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: sport to make the sport bigger? Because I was talking

263
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: about the NFL this week and I said, the NFL

264
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: is the greatest reality show on the planet, because you

265
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: would think it was football season this week. We're in

266
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: the middle of the playoffs NHL and NBA, but all

267
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: they're talking about is football. So did they tell y'all

268
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: to hey, I don't know, has some great reality shows

269
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: for the USC already. Anyway, we'll get a celebrity chick

270
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: card something like that. If I was single, I might

271
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: be going for that. But oh, you guys are both married, right,

272
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: so you need to go to some celebrity check He's

273
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: not happen. I'm trying to keep my face out of

274
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: me as much as I can have you guys, ever,

275
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: just ung out and then got into altercation with somebody

276
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: that I just didn't know. It was disrespectful, like sometimes

277
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: people are. That's that's you know, that's every guy's worst fear.

278
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: Absolutely like being a ball with somebody. Yeah, this is

279
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: before I was a UFC fire but I was a

280
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: professional fighter. One of my boys who loves to start trouble,

281
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: started in trouble with this big, big juice head. And

282
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: my friend's way more intimidating looking than me, So the

283
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: juice head didn't want any problems with my boy he wanted.

284
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: He looked straight at me. He started coming at me

285
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: because I looked like nothing comes straight at me throws

286
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: a punch. I just throw him on the floor and

287
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: I started just just embarrassing him. I just started slapping

288
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: him in the face, like just not Then he got

289
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: back up after getting embarrassed like that, and I was

290
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: I still wasn't mad. It was just kind of funny.

291
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: I was just embarrassing them. The bouncers were laughing, everybody

292
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: was just letting it happen. He gets back up, he

293
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: tries to throw another punch, I'm like, are you kidding me?

294
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: Throwing back down on the floor against did the same thing,

295
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: just slapping on the top of the head, like what

296
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? What are you gonna do it?

297
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: I guess because you know, yeah, I'm not gonna punch

298
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: him in the face. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. I'm

299
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: not gonna like but like, and that was that was

300
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: maybe like that was like five years ago. That was

301
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: my last tree fight. I hardly go out anymore, but

302
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: I always get asked that same question. I always get

303
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: asked you get messed with and no, not really, no truth.

304
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: Nobody's smart is really gonna because you don't look as

305
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: big as him him. He looks big and bro, you

306
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: might be like, yeah, but you gotta, you know, button up.

307
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: Somebody might test you one time, maybe with your your lady,

308
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: your wife, and say something like, oh you would whoop

309
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: their ass. So are the rules that you're allowed to

310
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: give a nuggie and you won't get in trouble for that.

311
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: I think if I'm not gonna leave any marks, I

312
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: figured I'm good. That's why I was doing that little

313
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: couple of slaps of the face little nuggie here there.

314
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: I think you're good. But if you start punching the

315
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: dude and then he's gonna have black eyes and or

316
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna have brain damage, you got Jesus Christ damage

317
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: too far. Man, You don't know, you don't know, it's

318
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: head his sidewalk. Do y'all have to register yourselves as

319
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: weapons because always say that about boxes. They got to

320
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: register their hands is a deadly weapons or we're licensed,

321
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: were licensed fighters. So I think right right away, I

322
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: think that's pretty much the same thing you if you

323
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: if you go to court, and you know, if I

324
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: beat up that dude and and he's taken to the court,

325
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, I know what I'm doing, I know what

326
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: my hands could do, and and so I'm kind of

327
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm in trouble now. Form Anthony Rebad Johnson. I had

328
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: read an article where we've been following the John Bones

329
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: Jones story where you had said that you felt like

330
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: people were trying to seem like that fight that you're

331
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: about to do is not legitimate because it's not him.

332
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: So can you speak a little bit about that and

333
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: how important it is. Um At the end of the day,

334
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: John made his own bed, you know what I mean,

335
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: And they had like Daniel Comer and myself are not

336
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: fighters that like, we're not legit fighters, and if we

337
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: don't beat John, it seems like it doesn't matter. Well,

338
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: that's not the case John. John beat himself outside of

339
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: the cage, you know what I mean, And that's why

340
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: he's not with us right now. So they give they

341
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: gave me and Daniel an opportunity to be number one now,

342
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, and we don't. We don't take any credit

343
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: from John because he's still the best. But people still

344
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: need to respect us because we go out there and

345
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: we put on the line. We're still fighting for a title.

346
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: Either way. They can say what they want to say.

347
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: We're still gonna do what we do. They're gonna love

348
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: us if they're gonna hate us. At the end of

349
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: the day, it doesn't really matter what they say. Well,

350
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: then John left fright against Daniel. Yeah, yeah, okay. Are

351
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: you guys all friends with each other outside? Like I

352
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: gotta fight you, but we're cruel y'all fight man? Like, Yeah,

353
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: y'all like try to kill each other. Depends It just

354
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: depends on Like you know, John Daniel weren't friends. Nah,

355
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: they hated. Yeah, but men, DC are cool. Man, DC

356
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: are pretty cool. Um. I mean we speak and didn't like,

357
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, I called him up and you know, ask

358
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: him how his day was on the phone or anything.

359
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: But we're cool. It's gotta be kind of rough though,

360
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: because you might kick it with him and see him

361
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: with his wife, his kids and beating them up in

362
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: the mean. It's weird because you know, fight us have

363
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: that that own off switch. Either you have it or

364
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: you don't. But you know, this is it's just a business.

365
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: This is what we're doing. This We do it because

366
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: we love to do it, just because we beat each

367
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: other up. And the cage doesn't mean we have to

368
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: hate each other outside of the cage. And when you

369
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: lose though, you yeah, it still it is what it is.

370
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: How do you do you have four losses? So how

371
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: when you lose? How do you get back up and

372
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: be like I prepared for the next one because it's

373
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: like that fight is always on even when you lose.

374
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: And how did you lose up? I don't know. Well,

375
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: if I lose, I'm just like he was the better

376
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: guy that night. I did my best, so I'm happy

377
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. I mean, I'm disappointing

378
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: in the results, but I'm still happy with myself because

379
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: I did the best that I could do. So I

380
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: don't put that type of pressure on myself that if

381
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: I lose it's the end of the world. Are you

382
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: scared to lose, Chris because you're undefeated at the moment. No,

383
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: I'm not scared to lose. Man. Uh, it's it's not

384
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: an option. Can't be scared of it. It's not gonna happen.

385
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: Don't you feel like, especially when you see things like

386
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: up here before Floyd was finding everybody wanted him to

387
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: lose because they wanted him to have a loss. Do

388
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: you feel like people are like, Okay, he's winning too much,

389
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: we need to see a loss. Yeah, I mean, I

390
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 1: got I got plenty of your daughters and haters out

391
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: there that would love to see me lose. Um, but

392
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: that's just fuel for the fire. The great thing about

393
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: daughters is that they're always going to be there, so

394
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: it's a good motivational two and a half. So I'd

395
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: like to shut him up. I don't think people want

396
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: to see you lose, and if you're convincingly destroying people,

397
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I think it's it's different

398
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: with Floyd because he's always got haters though yet to

399
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: watch that he boxed though, Boy, it doesn't run. He

400
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: just he's a good boxer. He understands. He's a great

401
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: defensive fighter. Yeah, he understands the game. But then you

402
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: got somebody like Connello Alvarez who goes in there and

403
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: tried to knock your head off a triple G. Try to.

404
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: But he's not boxing. He's browling. That's what he's doing.

405
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: Whatever you say, I'm not going to disagree. Yeah, disagree

406
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: with you that for you. Anthony Ramball Johnson, you also

407
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: were suspended as well, and now you're back. Was there

408
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: a time when you thought you weren't gonna make it back?

409
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: What do you suspended for? Tell Us said it was

410
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: suspected domestic violence, but the charges were dropped. Yeah, no,

411
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: I you know what, during that time, I knew I

412
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: didn't do anything wrong, But whenever it comes down to

413
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: something like that, you just never know what's going to happen.

414
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: And I was depressed. I can't lie. I was super

415
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: depressed and just didn't know what was going to happen.

416
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: Because you know, when anybody says, you know they've been

417
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: hit by a male, everybody automatically believes it no matter what.

418
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: And that's the part that that just killed me on

419
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: the inside. And you know, I felt like a lot

420
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: of people didn't have my back. But once the charges

421
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: were dropped, then all of a sudden, everybody shows back up.

422
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: You know, they're like, oh, he could fight against yea

423
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: friends again, Yeah, yeah, yeah. So But at the same time,

424
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: I also that made me realize who was really down

425
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: for me and who wasn't. So it made me made

426
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: me Yeah, I'm just opened up my eyes even more.

427
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: But anything you do to him, because the mythic bot

428
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: if you just restrain her, like he put a move

429
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: on her, he put a hold on her. You know,

430
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's crazy. And like I said, I know,

431
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: but it's just not even him. No, yeah, but it's

432
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: just a sad thing that, you know, people can say

433
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: something and automatically everybody believes that. You know, no matter

434
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: how the media wants to put it, they're gonna put

435
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: it in. People just gonna automatically think that's how it

436
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: went down or that's what happened. And once again, as men,

437
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: we have to try and prove that we didn't do

438
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: anything so and that that's that's yeah, and that's innocent. Yeah. Now, Chris,

439
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: you said you didn't want to talk about it, but

440
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: we have some stuff here about your chair, I'm sure.

441

442
