18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: from ald adrenaline, but I'm doing good.

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: So where do you live exactly? Do you live in

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: New York?

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, in Brooklyn, in Brooklyn. I'm at my family's

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: right now. So we moved from Bakoo to Brooklyn.

23
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: And Bukou is an ozer Bai Jehan, When did you

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: move to Brooklyn?

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: I moved some time ago. I moved when I was seven.

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: I moved years old. Yeah, we came here a long

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: time ago. I went to school and everything in Brooklyn,

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: So I've been here for quite some time.

29
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: So I saw a video I think UFC Fight Pass

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: did a feature on you getting ready for Dana White's

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: Contender series where you went back to Bookoo and it

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: was like you and your dad in the streets. Is

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: he still there or is he with you in the States.

34
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: No, he's here. We just visit back home. We visit

35
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: that we still have family there, but it's like we're

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: in the United States. We're based out of the United States.

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: Well, we can certainly tell by your English that you've

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: been here for some time. All right, A lot of

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: things I want to get into with you, and we

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: are going to be joined by Rey Longo here probably

41
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: on the back end of our time with you. But

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: eight straight wins after you beat Evan Elder via TKO,

43
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of people really feel like this win

44
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: is going to age gracefully as well. A lot of

45
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: people are still high on Evan Elder despite the loss,

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: but you made your sort of first impression on Dana

47
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: White and the Brass in the same building. So I'm

48
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: curious how this debut experience at the Apex was juxtaposed

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: against Dana Whitees Contender Series last year in terms of

50
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: the nerves, the fight week and everything else.

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I actually wanted my first fight to

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: be a little more with this format, just just to

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: handle business. You know, I wanted my first fight just

54
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: to go just like that. I didn't I didn't prefer

55
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: to travel across the world for my debut. I wanted

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: to be slightly more in the comforts of you know,

57
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: in Vegas where al Jo Morabar all the time and

58
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: right and all that stuff. But with that being said,

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: no matter how comfortable you try to make it for yourself,

60
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: you always have it deep in the back of your

61
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 2: mind that those three letters you're fighting for the UFC.

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: So maybe I don't know if nerves would be the

63
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 2: way to call it, but I consider it on myself

64
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: that that was slightly an off night for me, just

65
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: because I like to be more dominant. But let's give

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: credit to my opponent, because he was a very tough

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: and smart fighter as well. So I can't really say

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: because I wasn't dominant, it was an off night. Maybe

69
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: it was just him, so I hats off to him.

70
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm just happy to put on a great show for

71
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: the biggest promotion in the world, the best organization in

72
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: the world. It's been a lifelong dream of mine, and

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: you will see more. I guarantee you that. Well.

74
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: Anyone who's listened to the Anakimploring podcast over the years

75
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: has heard Ray long Go talking about nas before you

76
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: got to the UFC, shouting you out before your regional fight,

77
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: so none of our audience is surprised you eventually get

78
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: to the big show and excel once you're there before

79
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: we get into the fight itself. In terms of your

80
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: timeline to get to the UFC, I guess, if I speculate,

81
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: it seems like maybe Rey Longo thought you would have

82
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: gotten here a little bit sooner, but it seems like

83
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: you're getting here at a pretty opportune time. How do

84
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: you feel about your timeline and the timeline upon which

85
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: you actually got to the big show relative to your expectations.

86
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: God has a plan for everybody, you know. I don't

87
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: have any regrets or any question about when why I

88
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: got to where I got to when it all happened

89
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: for a reason, the way that happened, And while I'm here,

90
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to make the absolute best of this time

91
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: and give give fans absolutely one of myself. So that's

92
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: all that matters.

93
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: Really.

94
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: It could have been later, it could have been earlier.

95
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 2: My direction always moving forward in fifth gear.

96
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: So a lot of people on so social media we're

97
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: able to see Evan's reaction when he found out that

98
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: he got the Fight of the Night bonus. I have

99
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: to ask when Jim Miller and Alexander Hernandez are fighting

100
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: shortly after you guys fight, are you watching that fight?

101
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: Are you wondering if the bonus is slipping through your fingers?

102
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: Like what is your thought process or are you even

103
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: thinking about that? Are you just so happy with the

104
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: win and the debut.

105
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just happy with the win and the debut,

106
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: and I was doing media. I saw parts of the

107
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: fight on the TV screens throughout the building. I didn't

108
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: really see the fight. I did talk to my manager,

109
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: Danie Ruby. I did tell him like, I think I

110
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: think we got fight at night. I don't think anybody

111
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: stopping that. And then he was like, I don't know.

112
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: We have to see Hernandez and Miller was also crazy.

113
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, I was just I was just gonna go

114
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: ahead and enjoy the win anyway. But let me tell you,

115
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: the bonus made things one thousand times sweeter.

116
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet, all right, So let's get into it

117
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. The UFC debut against Evan Elder. Outstanding fight,

118
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: and I really am excited to watch both of your

119
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: respective careers here moving forward. But it's a doctor stoppage

120
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: due to a knee strike that you landed. Now, at

121
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: the postfight press conference, you thought that you were being

122
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: asked about a cut on yourself, right, and that was

123
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: caused by a clash of head. So let us all

124
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: be clear. This is a TKO win because obviously this

125
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: cut was caused by a knee strike. So now you've

126
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: had about one hundred hours to sort of ingest this result.

127
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on sort of the knee strike

128
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: that caused the cut and your performance as a whole.

129
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the third round we come out and I know

130
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: that I have to do. I have to secure the round.

131
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: I did not think I was down two rounds. I

132
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: thought the second round was in my favorite. The fact

133
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: that all three judges. I found out that all three

134
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: judges had it in Evan Elder's favorite two zip going

135
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: into the third I was very surprised, but nonetheless, whether

136
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: I won the second round or not, the my goal

137
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: was to get a finish getting off that stool into

138
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: the third round, my goal is to get a finished

139
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: So everything I was throwing had fight ending intention, So

140
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: that need that I landed, it happened to give him

141
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: a fight ending cut. As soon as I thought you

142
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: can see and you guys can watch it back to fight,

143
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: I began. I continued working on it. I believe I

144
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: landed another left and then I landed a left headkick

145
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: right into that cut. So I recognized the cut. I

146
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: knew it was bad. I even heard the ref. The

147
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: ref tells commits, he looks over to the commission he

148
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: goes cut deep those two words, so I knew. I

149
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: knew that that fight, that cut was dangerous. I don't

150
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: know if it was going to be stopped or not,

151
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: but as soon as the ref stops the action, I

152
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: knew that they were going to take a look at

153
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: the cut. Whether they were going to stop it or not,

154
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: I wasn't hope. I wasn't relying on the fact that

155
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: they were going to stop it. I was going to

156
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: keep going, keep pushing, but they stopped it. So I

157
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: took I take my win as it is t k

158
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: O via fight ending cut. The guy's artery was sticking out.

159
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: You guys saw the photos. Oh yeah, there was no accident.

160
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: There was no headbutt. It was an intentional knee that

161
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: I was looking to send his send his head into

162
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: the into the lights on the ceiling. So uh yeah,

163
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: an you were I just made a mistake with the

164
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: Headbut I have a I have a cut that he

165
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: gave me. I got a couple of stitches viazel. Yeah

166
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: that was unintentional on his end, but yeah, that that's

167
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: the head butt I was talking about.

168
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: Right, you have to lightweight and Zem Sadakov joining us

169
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: here on the Attic and Florian podcast. So I meant

170
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: to look up the score cards actually before I sat

171
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: down with you today. So you're telling me that you

172
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: were down to nil on all three judges scorecards going

173
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: into that third final round.

174
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that's what they told me at the post

175
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: fight pressure.

176
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: The fight was close, but that surprises me, to be sure,

177
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: are you a proponent of open scoring.

178
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: I actually to be gen, I don't know what that is, Like,

179
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: are we going to see the cards? Are we going

180
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: to see the results on the screen or something like that.

181
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: So here's my issue with it, right so, yes, So

182
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: basically you and your coaches and all the fans would

183
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: get to see the scorecards after each round. Right now,

184
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: The issue I think for me is that it effectively

185
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: changes the sport and in a three round fight, if

186
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: a fighter is up to nil, then Evan Elder in

187
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: this situation can get on his bicycle in theory and

188
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: try to avoid you for five minutes and still win

189
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: the fight. Right, go ahead, talk to me.

190
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to let you finish. If you

191
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: want to finish, Go ahead, John, I didn't mean.

192
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Please by all means I want to hear what you

193
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: have to say.

194
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: I don't agree with that because that that is not

195
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 2: only is that a possibility that people are going to

196
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: start getting on their bikes and stuff, but it's gonna

197
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: be a probability like people will start turning this into

198
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: like a points fighting sport, and this sport is it's

199
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: a savage sport. We get cuts, there's knockouts, there's broken

200
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: limbs and everything. You have to fight to the finish.

201
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: You have to go forward, you have to try to

202
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: get your your win. This would not be the first

203
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: time where I lost maybe a round and then ended

204
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: up getting a finish in the third. Like I said,

205
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: this is fourth out of nine pro fights. This was

206
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 2: my fourth so eight wins and four of those are

207
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: third round finishes, So half of my wins are third

208
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: round finishes. If yeah, I believe that's accurate. Anyways, pushing

209
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: to the end, man, if you have the open scoring,

210
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: then there's gonna be takedowns and laying praise and after

211
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: after a solid two rounds like me and Evan didn't

212
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: know what was happening. I'm sure as corner maybe told

213
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: him like yo, you you won the first, second was

214
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: closed or you won the second whatever, So he had

215
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: to fight in the third, and we were going to

216
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: fight in the third. If you tell me it's two zip,

217
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: you're winning, Just just move, get go for the takedown,

218
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 2: control on the cage. Then then as a as a fighter,

219
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: you're going to go out there and do that. So

220
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: the excitement aspect of the sport, I think the open

221
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: scoring would like diminish it a little bit.

222
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree, with you, And I also feel

223
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: like it's a little bit of a mind fuck right now.

224
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here suggesting that you dominated rounds one

225
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: and two, but you certainly thought of those six scorecards

226
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: that were submitted right that you won either round one

227
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: or round two. So it can be a little bit

228
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: of a mind fuck for the athlete. I also feel

229
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: like if you're Leon Edwards back in August in Salt

230
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: Lake City, Utah against kamar Usman, and you look up

231
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: and you know you're gonna lose the fight, then the

232
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: crowd is getting on you, like man, he knows he's down,

233
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: he's still not doing anything, and then the commentators you're

234
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: getting on you even more. I just think it puts

235
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: undue pressure on the athlete. I can understand proponents of

236
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: open scoring, but I think it causes more issues than

237
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: it solves. But that's neither here nor there. And we

238
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: talk about guys like Marlon Chiato o Vera and Billy

239
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: Corntello and Na'sene Sodakop getting guys out of there in

240
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: that third and final round, huge feather in your cap,

241
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: and I think it's something that you're gonna be able

242
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: to lean on going forward just being able to outlast guys. Now,

243
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: it looked to be a tough fight physically. So when

244
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: we had Matt revol your longtime friend and training partner on,

245
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't seem to be physically the type of guy

246
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: that can take short notice opportunities at fifty six, right,

247
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: even if they're high profile. I know you're laughing. So

248
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: you're a pretty big, you know, muscled guy yourself. I

249
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: guess I'm just curious, like what is your timeline for

250
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: getting back in there, and what is your ability to

251
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: take a fight on short notice, especially one that's higher

252
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: profile than maybe one that you might get in a

253
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,359
Speaker 1: natural matchmaking progression.

254
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: I always like thought that I'm going to be a

255
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: fighter that takes short notice no matter what. But I

256
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: think the best. If you want the best out of me,

257
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: give me the give me the date, give me the camp.

258
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm that typified. I strive for that, like that, that excellence,

259
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: like that prefect Like uh, how should I put it?

260
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 3: I just.

261
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: That type of fighter that is like an any week,

262
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: any day like that will take the sport aspect out

263
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: of it for me, Like I am already a guy

264
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: that comes forward and I'm ready to take damage and

265
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: this and that, but that does need preparation to be

266
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: able to endure my type of style. It needs preparation

267
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: to be able to endure. With that being said, I

268
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: don't see myself never taking a short notice fight. I

269
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: do see myself taking some sort of big opportunity saving

270
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: a card, entertaining fans on short notice of what they

271
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: thought was going to be, you know, a fight, a

272
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 2: fight lost, but saving a card, saving a fight or something.

273
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: So I definitely see myself doing that in the future.

274
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: I just don't know how soon. I don't know if

275
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: that would be the next move. I do want to

276
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: settle and get go and get prepared for my next

277
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: fight really well so I can show an even better display.

278
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: No, it's a great answer. It's a great answer. Nazeem

279
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: Sadakov will us here on the Anak and Flooring podcast,

280
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: and it gives us great pleasure to now bring in

281
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: your chief corner and longtime coach, right long coach boy

282
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: in the UFC.

283
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: And I believe about it.

284
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: You got to be pretty proud, Raymond.

285
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 3: What a what a performance. No, love the way he's

286
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: he's and he speaks really well. I'm still learning, you

287
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 3: know what. I mean, but he speaks well. I'd love

288
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 3: the way he answered the last question. I think it's

289
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: accurate for who he is. He likes his preparation the

290
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: way he likes it to go. But uh, I think

291
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 3: the longer he fights and he stays in shape, he'll

292
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: be ready for those short notice fights. He could definitely

293
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: do with talent wise, But you know, I think, like

294
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 3: he says, he likes to go forward, and that does

295
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: take a certain type of preparations. So congratulations, buddy. Who

296
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: would have who would have who would have thought it?

297
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: Who would have thought this?

298
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: We worked for it, like you said in two thousands Trades,

299
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: And this guy's next up on the wall.

300
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: I tell you that that wolves a big motivated John.

301
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: I got to say, well, and no non UFC fighter

302
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: got more mentions on this show pre UFC than Nausi

303
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: and Sadakov, so obviously he's here. Now I have a

304
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: couple more questions for you, and I'm glad that ray

305
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: is here for them, and then we'll get you out

306
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: of here. So you reference these puke drills? What are

307
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: these puke drills? Raymond? Making you guys work hard and

308
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: throwing up in training? What's going on?

309
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: Oh? Right, you want to tell them the backstory of

310
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: puge drills. Why was it pug drills? I wonder puking

311
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: all right.

312
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: I probably stole the name from somebody, but you know,

313
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: it's really let's just say the host as I'm sorry

314
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: about that reading something. You know, it's really just a

315
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: combination of the hitting and the wrestling, and it really

316
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: depends on the mix of guys you put into the drill.

317
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: That really, if you got two fresh wrestlers, it's like

318
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: a shark tank with shark tank with the hitting also,

319
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: so you could adjust the volume and the intensity by

320
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: who's holding and who you have in there to wrestle against.

321
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: And it's thirty second goes back and forth, sometime minute goes.

322
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: We'd switch it up depending on what the guy needs

323
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: in the camp. And again, if you get two really

324
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: good wrestlers in there, you gotta you're gonna work. I'll

325
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: tell you one funny story about the puw drill is

326
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: uh I used al Jo one time for Marob Mob

327
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: was doing the puke drill, and al Jo's the guy

328
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 3: that got tired. I go, this is the first time

329
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: a guy helping out his got tired. He broke it

330
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: he broke everybody down. Now does that makes sense to you? Right? You? Yeah?

331
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: Just falling with Morob just like a light spar is

332
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: a pug drill in and in itself.

333
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 3: You saw Kevin James did a uh, I guess an

334
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: interview with Widman where you know we used to run.

335
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: Chris used to run I guess like an M M

336
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: A class. But Kevin would jump in. But he's ab

337
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: didn't know. He wasn't a fighter, He just.

338
00:16:54,360 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: Him So Nazine, Your Jim wars with Matt Travola are pretty,

339
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: but I'm curious how you navigate this changing landscape with

340
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: Al Jamain Sterling and may Rob Dwallas Willy splitting time

341
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: between Vegas and the East Coast, and how do you

342
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: navigate all of that? I know you have spent some

343
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: time in Las Vegas, but how have you sort of

344
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: handled that dynamic as you got ready for your debut?

345
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 2: You mean the switches is going back and forth to Vegas.

346
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious how And I know for Ray it's

347
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: been a navigation that he's had to sort of adjust

348
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: the times. How are you dealing with that?

349
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: It's I think like Al Joe and Morob kind of

350
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: have like a little blueprint going for the Yes, this

351
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: perfect balance of Vegas and New York, like we do

352
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: our camps to New York and then like for me,

353
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 2: for example, I just go there for a few weeks

354
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: at a time. Maybe this next camp I'll be able

355
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: to stay there for longer, and then for the final

356
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: phase of camp, which we call six to eight weeks,

357
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: you know, I'll be back in New York. So it's

358
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 2: like a good balance. It's a good mix up. The

359
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: time difference doesn't really mess with me. It's only better

360
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 2: when you when you're on East Coast time and then

361
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: you go over to Vegas and then you have like

362
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: three extra hours in the day. You know, it'll be

363
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: like three am in the East Coast, but it's only

364
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: twelve in Vegas. So you're only going to bed at

365
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 2: twelve in Vegas. But you got so much more done,

366
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 2: if that makes sense. So, of course, as long as

367
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: you as long as everything is like if you communicate everything,

368
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: as long as you're doing everything the right way and

369
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: not just you know, not just doing your own thing,

370
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: being your own captain. As long as you as you

371
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 2: listen to chief command, everything is going to be good.

372
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: All right, Before I let you go, perhaps the timeline

373
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: for you is going to be June, right, Do you

374
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: just entrust in Danny Rube to get you a fight?

375
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: Are you someone who is actively going to try to

376
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: hand pick a name or two? Who do you think

377
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: will be next? And are you willing to try to

378
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: name out there before we let you fly?

379
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: I will definitely, I will definitely uh put you know,

380
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: I'll definitely be looking for something. If I see an opportunity,

381
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: I will definitely call for it. You'll definitely hear me

382
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: on social media. But at the moment, I just want

383
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: to recover and get back to training and get better,

384
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 2: like take you know, like a good two months without

385
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: having to without the training camp of pressure, and then

386
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 2: just get better, sharpen up and then do a six

387
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: to eight week camp and be ready to go. So

388
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: I'm thinking like, like you gave a great timeline, I

389
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: think May June would be perfect if I if I

390
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: get a date on May June, that'd be perfect for me.

391
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: Well, I hope they call my number and I get

392
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: a chance to call your flight one of these days.

393
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: And Nazim Sadakov, congrats on a big win on the debut, buddy,

394

Speaker 1: that up though if you if you do follow NAS,

403
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,520

00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,200

Speaker 3: I'll give you a buzz later.

407
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: But he's good.

408
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: Take care Hopefully he don't screen that phone call later

409
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: when Ray Longer calls one of the few phone calls

410
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: I never screamed. Ray Longer never gets screened. Cody Merrow

411
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: never gets screened, Zach Candy will never gets screened. This

412
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: very short list of guys who never gets screened. Congratulations, man,

413
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: did you know down two nil on all three judges?

414
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 3: Definitely? Yeah, No, I thought, well, I look, look first

415
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 3: off a couple of things. What a great fight, two

416
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: tough guys. Big fan of Evan Elder. Now I'm happy

417
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: that they got the bonus because I would have hated

418
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: to see either one of those guys go homeward whatever

419
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: money they made just to show up, you know what

420
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So I'm really happy they they both. I mean,

421
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: what a back and forth battle. Man. But I I

422
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: think I told him in between rounds, I go, I

423
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 3: have it won one. But I really don't know, like

424
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: it was that close. I couldn't say it was one one.

425
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: I said, I think you're up one one. And those

426
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: fights get emotional for me. Now I'm not really you know,

427
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: it wasn't going the exact way I thought it was going.

428
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: Although when I relooked at it, I thought, you know,

429
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 3: there was a lot of good things. There's a lot

430
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 3: of things he could tighten up. But he's super talented.

431
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 3: That other kid, I have an elder man. He just

432
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 3: brought it in a different way. I looked at I

433
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: really underestimated it, and I guess I looked at the

434
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: last fight when he fought up at seventy. I'll never

435
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: do that again because that kid, that kid was on

436
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: his way to win with the judge scorecards. But no,

437
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: I didn't see it like that. But it is what

438
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: it is. I don't think I could you know at

439
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 3: the present moment. It was. It was it was close, man.

440
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 3: You know, I didn't like to knock down in the

441
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: first You know that even though it really was like

442
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: a flash, he's up, he's still calling the guy in

443
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 3: and you know, I know the way the optics look.

444
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: And he got taken down, got held against the cage

445
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: for a little bit. He took that guy down, but

446
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 3: couldn't really hold him down, couldn't control them out, And

447
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, it was just too close.

448
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I did tell him he how to finish

449
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: the fight at the end of the second round, and

450
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 3: that's the only way.

451
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: To do it right, and he certainly did that and

452
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: took matters into his own hands. Now, he did say

453
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: with me a few minutes before you came on that

454
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: he threw everything with fight ending intentions, and that seemingly

455
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: is his style. Now, you have plenty of fighters who

456
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: don't throw everything with fight ending intentions, So I wonder

457
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: where you fall on that and how sustainable that is,

458
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, to me, he looks like he's

459
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: really long on potential and can absolutely, you know, eventually

460
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: be a top fifteen fighter, if not legitimate title contender.

461
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: But you know, it seems like his style is a

462
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: little bit throw caution to the wind at times.

463
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: You know, I put him more. I'll tell you where

464
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: he's going to end up. He's going to end up

465
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: like a boxer punch. I mean, like a boxer punch.

466
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 3: He's he's pretty slick. You could see at times he

467
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 3: showed really nice angles and uh, you know, he's light

468
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 3: on his feet. He gets in and out quick. So

469
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 3: I think the jit is maybe you know, got him

470
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 3: a little bit. But uh, you know, if you look

471
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 3: at some of his techniques, they were they were beautiful.

472
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: He just he wasn't countering as quick as he could have.

473
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 3: So I think you're gonna see, you'll you'll definitely, yeah,

474
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 3: he's not a brawler. He can be a brawler, but

475
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 3: he's not a brawler, you know, Like I think Fravola

476
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: is more of a piece going to throw caution to

477
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: the wind. If he gets back to the you know,

478
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: he's thrown. There's no you couldn't take that out of him.

479
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: I'm trying, you know, and I think we've we've got

480
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 3: gotten him a little better, but uh, you know, uh,

481
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 3: he's more of a guy thrown caution to the wind.

482
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: Nos is calculated, you know, Like that's that's why I

483
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: was trying to say in this fight. And when I

484
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: talked to him after the fight, I said, look, I

485
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 3: don't want to you know, like I just want to

486
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: be like, uh, I just want to get you better.

487
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 3: He's like, look, I raise a high ball for myself.

488
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: There's nothing could say that is going to mean that,

489
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: you know, like he's gonna make me feel bad. So

490
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 3: he's I love his attitude now, man, he speaks well. Yeah,

491
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 3: I think I think he gets it.

492
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: Uh.

493
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 3: He is a tough critic on himself. And as long

494
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: as he gets the right work, I mean you you're

495
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 3: gonna see him's gonna get better and better because he's

496
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 3: got He's got way better head movement than the show.

497
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 3: He's got way better defensive skills than he show. That's

498
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: what I'm trying to say. So you know, he could

499
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: have landed. I think some of those shots have gotten

500
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: out of the way without getting hit. And I think

501
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: that's where I'm coming from, you know, And I'm gonna

502
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: I already looked at the fight like five times. There's

503
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: a bunch of things that he could do just to

504
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: tighten up because he's super super talented, so uh and

505
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 3: that other kid is man Like again, I'm a big

506
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: fan of his. To these guys are both good and

507
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: shout out to Henry Hoof, one of my favorite guys.

508
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: So all good. So when.

509
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: On the program, his dad Sal was quick to let

510
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: us know that on topology, Matt was twenty nine in

511
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: the world. And I guess this is neither here nor there,

512
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: but Nazi and Sadakov number eighty one right now in

513
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: terms of the lightweights, the list obviously is a little

514
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: bit all over the place. It crosses promotions. Alexander Volkanovski

515
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: right now is the number sixty five ranked lightweight in

516
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: the world. But I did think it was interesting to

517
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: see where Nas falls there. You know, I think he

518
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: could get a Jim Miller Klake we to type next,

519
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: potentially get a big name, you know, on a different

520
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 1: stage of their career. But uh, yeah, well we're we're

521
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: happy for you, man. I mean, when you talk about

522
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: the wall, the famous wall at Longo Widman Mma there

523
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: in Garden City, New York that boasts the likes of

524
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: Chris Widman and Matt Sarah and al Jamain Sterling, like

525
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: when you say to Nas like you're gonna be next, Like,

526
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: you don't just trot that out there at everybody who

527
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: walks in the gym. I mean that's pretty lofty. Prey

528
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: to sounds to me like you feel like this kid's

529
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: ceiling is pretty damn high.

530
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, you got to remember two to wall. Like

531
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: I think people still don't get Man's We're just a

532
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: small gym. We're like fifty five hundred square feet. People

533
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 3: got twenty thousand, thirty thousand square foot gyms. It's just

534
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 3: that's what makes the Wolf special to me, you know

535
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: what I mean. It's it's not I tell you, if

536
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: you we have, I probably have half the number of

537
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 3: students you think I have in that gym, you know

538
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 3: what I mean. So it's it. That's again people look

539
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 3: at like big deal is a big deal for all

540
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: of these guys man, even like you know, all the

541
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 3: Long Island guys Al Joe Wideman, Uh, you know, Matt.

542
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 3: I mean, they all live, you know, right next to

543
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 3: each other. This is to me, it's crazy, but it

544
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: could be. You know, I'm one hundred percent bias, like

545
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: everybody accuses me of being. But you know, it's a

546
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 3: it's a big deal to get on that wall. And

547
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: that we started with you know, the lou Cromo's the Dragos.

548
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: You know, you got some some history there, and then

549
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 3: you got Fravola Morab. You know, it's just it's it's great, man,

550
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 3: it's a it's a great incentive. And right now you

551
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: got people in Bellatorm and some of the local kickboxing champs.

552
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: They want their own wall. It's not nice, so we

553
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 3: have to. I think we got to do something, you know,

554
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 3: but that wall is held up so special to get

555
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 3: in the UFC that I think it's uh, that's a

556
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: it's a big thing. It means a lot. We have

557
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 3: a lot of fun with that, you know. And again

558
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 3: even with al Joe Man, I didn't put his picture

559
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: up on that, you know Widman and uh Matt until

560
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 3: he he had that first title defense. And and I

561
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: love the guy. I literally loved the guy. He's a

562
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 3: fucking great guy. But I just wanted him to earn

563
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 3: it the right way, and I think he got respect

564
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 3: back from everybody. I think I love the way he

565
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: handled that situation. So there's a lot of history with

566
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 3: the wall, and we have a lot of fun. You know,

567
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: we leave open spaces. Who's going to be the next guy,

568
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 3: and I think it gives him incentive. You know, Bazook

569
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: has been dying to get up there. Now he's yeah,

570
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 3: he's probably the next guy. So we have it becomes

571
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 3: it's fun, it's motivating, and to us in the gym,

572
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 3: it means a lot.

573
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: And I can say objectively as an unbiased party, Dennis

574
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: Bezuka is just criminally underappreciated and I look forward to

575
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: to seeing him get his flowers. I want to talk

576
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: about Aaron Aaron Blanchfield a little bit if I could,

577
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: and then I can circle to May rob and obviously

578
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: the big announcement for Aljamin Sterling and Henry Suhudo May

579
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: sixth at a location to be determined. All right, So

580
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: Valentina Chevchenko is defending her belt against Alexa Grosso here

581
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: in less than two weeks on March fourth, and Aaron

582
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 1: Blanchfield did everything in her power to steal a lot

583
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: of that thunder. And we talked about this earlier this

584
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: week on our first episode of the Anakmploring podcast. We'll

585
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: talk about it again as we get ready for UFC

586
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: two eighty five next week. But your thoughts on Aaron

587
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: Blanchfield obviously she trains in New Jersey. You have followed

588
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: her career, and man is she all the rage here

589
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: a few days after a big win in the main event, totally.

590
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: Blown away by her performance. Again, I think her mindset

591
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: is her best attribute at this point. Man, cold Hearted,

592
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 3: I think is a great name.

593
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: She really cold blood cold Blood Yeah, cold Heart books too.

594
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that she's yeah yeah, just the.

595
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 3: Confidence and the uh and you know she's got the

596
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: chops to back it up. Now. I mean she stood

597
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: in the pocket with with andrage and she got what

598
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: she wanted eventually, So I think, I mean, I'm intrigued.

599
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I love it. She really kind of not totally,

600
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 3: but she reminds me kind of like Wideman. They're coming

601
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 3: up and they get those certain fights where you could

602
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: go right or left, and they always go the right way,

603
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. This was a big fight.

604
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 3: She took that on last minute to have androge. Yeah,

605
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I don't know. So I think

606
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: I just she's just unfazed by everything. And I love

607
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: her attitude and and she has been in the gym

608
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: a couple of times. She used to come in spawn

609
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: Mazouki very quiet. I don't even know if I've said

610
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 3: said a word to her during the spar and her

611
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: coach another guy, very humble guy. Uh. They come from

612
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: a small camp, which I love. They got, you know that, Camarie,

613
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 3: the camaraderie of smallness, which I think people totally underestimate. Yeah,

614
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: everybody thinks bigger is better, But I gotta tell you,

615
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 3: I didn't even see it coming when you used to

616
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: spawn Mazooki and whoever else she spaw in the gym.

617
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: But wow, I'm so happy for that kid, because she

618
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: seems like a really nice young lady. She's always uh

619
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: personable and like again, I think she handles herself perfect

620
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: on the mic, and it's it's it's all, you know,

621
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: confidence for the right reason. So I'd love to see

622
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: that fight.

623
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: And I think your Chris Wadman comparison is an appropriate one,

624
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: not even in terms of the ability, right, just in

625
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: terms of the ability to apply knowledge, to get that

626
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: knowledge from elite parties and immediately or pretty quickly thereafter

627
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: incorporated into your game.

628
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead and John, and to be able

629
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: to dictate where that fight's going too, and when they

630
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: get it there, you know, remember Widman was just hammer people.

631
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 3: He had a couple of good knockouts too. To Munno's knockout,

632
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: I think put them on the map, which was beautiful.

633
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 3: That elbow, you know, just a great I don't know.

634
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 3: I mean, that was a really good moment against a

635
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: guy that was making ways so kind of similar.

636
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

637
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 3: I feel for some reason that's what I felt. I

638
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 3: watched that fight live that night and I go, Wow,

639
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: the kid is this kid's special. I mean, plus, she's

640
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: so young, she could she could trip and fall a

641
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: couple of times. It's not gonna if she keeps growing. Yeah,

642
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: So I think that's why she's more dangerous than anything. Yeah,

643
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: she could take risks, and she deserves to have those

644
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: those opportunities now. And you know all she has to

645
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 3: do is if she doesn't win and use them as

646
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 3: learning the experiences, she's only going to be better. And

647
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 3: she's got plenty of time.

648
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: All right. So there's a hamster on the side of

649
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: the octagon, and you have a chance with a correct

650
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: answer to save this hamster's life. Okay, Valentina Chefchenko's in

651
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: the octagon. There's a fucking hamster sitting next to me.

652
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: And Joe Rogan. Okay, you got to send one woman

653
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: in there to beat Valentina Chefchenko, to save the hamster's life. Okay,

654
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you choices. Okay. You could send

655
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: Jean Way Lee in there, even though she's down a division. Okay.

656
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: You could send Alexa Grosso in there. We're going to

657
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: see that in a couple of weeks. You could send

658
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: Tyler Santos in there. She fought her to a split

659
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: decision last June. You can send Mono Fuor in there,

660
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: seemingly the next contender. Or he could send Aaron Blanchfield

661
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: in there. Now, perhaps there's a recency bias, but the

662
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of our listeners and viewers, when given the

663
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to save a hamster's life, they're sending Aaron Blanchfield

664
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: in there. And I do think by and large, people

665
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: are sleeping on Alexa Grosso. But I do think it's

666
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: not crazy that much of the fan base believes right

667
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: now that the flyweight on the roster best equipped to

668
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: be to beat Valentina is in fact Aaron Blanchfield.

669
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 3: Who are you going with? I'm one hundred percent going

670
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 3: with Aaron Blanchfield. Again, she has the ability to dictate

671
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 3: where that fight's going. You know, that's so far so

672
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 3: who wouldn't want to see the grappling. We've seen Valentine

673
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 3: and struggle a little bit. You know, even Valentine's first

674
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: off is an assassin. This isn't a knock oner. But

675
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: I'd love to see Blanchfield. I just like her aratitude, John, Like,

676
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,479
Speaker 3: you know, she believes that she wasn't even on Rodge

677
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: after what she did to Laura Murphy could have been intimidating,

678
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 3: there was just none of that, Like I like, that's

679
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 3: why again, Like even that's why I said. The thing

680
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 3: with Wideman, he was unfazed by everything. We'd look at

681
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 3: a fight and he'd go, I could beat that guy.

682
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: And we weren't even game plan, Like I go, really,

683
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: I mean we used to. You know, what do you

684
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 3: see in this that he was that confident coming up right?

685
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: And that's what I see in her. And I think

686
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 3: I'd love to see her get that opportunity. And that's it, man, Yeah,

687
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 3: I take her out of anybody now. I think she's

688
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 3: got the momentum, she's on the roll. I love Alexa

689
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 3: Grosso is a great fighter too, I'm excited for that fight.

690
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: But Grosso came up from fifteen, right, Yes, I think

691
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: I see, I think Blanchfield. I think Aaron on her

692
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 3: back pretty quickly.

693
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: All right, Well we'll see what happens. March eleventh is

694
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: fastly approaching. Pyotr Yan and may Rob Dwallash Willie the

695
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: men on the marquee in Las Vegas. So i'd imagine

696
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: may Rob is in Las Vegas for the duration at

697
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: this point, about seventeen days that or so.

698
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 3: No, he was there for the whole camp, you know,

699
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 3: in response to your question, and not is you know,

700
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 3: I got that tells Algae you gotta oh no, I

701
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 3: think his buddy, you have to stop poaching the guys

702
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 3: to go out there. I mean it looks like I mean, look,

703
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: I'm getting older, but everybody's going to end up out

704
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 3: there and they kind of know what the hell's going on.

705
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: Well, there are a few things at play, right, I mean,

706
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: the time's on, the weather, the UFCPI just start with

707
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: those three things.

708
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, So it's very intoxicating for these guys for

709
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: the reasons you just said. I think if they got

710
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 3: enough guys out there, Alji could like run everything. Probably

711
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: out of the PI because they have access to it.

712
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 3: I think that would be their best bet. But uh,

713
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: these are young guys that you know, you can't hold

714
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 3: them back. It's look, I said this one hundred times

715
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 3: and it has nothing to do with like I'm always

716
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: going to be happy for the guys. I'm not. I'm

717
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 3: not happy about it, but I have to be happy

718
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 3: for him. It's like when my kids move that, you

719
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 3: know what, I'm right out, like, I'm happy for but

720
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 3: you miss having your kids around.

721
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: No, I mean, so I can't relate to missing having

722
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: my kids around right now.

723
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 3: It'll it'll, it'll get there eventually.

724
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm with you, and I'm sitting there praying

725
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: that the oldest one doesn't go to Florida Atlantic University

726
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: right down the street and live at home. You've got

727
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: to get out of here, right.

728
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 3: We'll get it right, We'll get it at n YU

729
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 3: and don't worry about it all right, A couple of them,

730
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So it's kind of like

731
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 3: that John, that's it. I mean, it's more you just

732
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 3: miss everybody. It's good having those guys around the gym.

733
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 3: I miss al Joe and.

734
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: Morab I'm sure all right. Another thing going down on

735
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: March eleventh, and speaking of guys that you miss seeing

736
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: in the gym, Chris Widman in a grappling contest with

737
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: Owen Livesey live on UFC Fight Pass. To what degree

738
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: is that on your radar? Raymond?

739
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,479
Speaker 3: Oh? On the radio?

740
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: So you got to watch that maybe before May Rob

741
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 1: or after or whenever.

742
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, we get a chance one hundred percent,

743
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 3: you know, all right? Go ahead?

744
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: Please by all mens No, no, no, no, all right,

745
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: next sight.

746
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 3: You got a whole list that you're very uh, you're

747
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 3: a little kirt today.

748
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: Little kurt today. If you really want to know, bro,

749
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: if you really want to know, I think I have

750
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: pink eye in both of my eyes right now.

751
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: I can't say no.

752
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: I pot my lenses in right before the show, but

753
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: it's been absolutely brutal. My eyes have been bleeding. So

754
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: I got a couple of kids home sick, and as

755
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: soon as we're doing I'm actually going straight to the

756
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: doctor to see if we can get these eyes right,

757
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: because I got a pay per view Canniball coming. But

758
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: next time, my list, yes, is al Jamaine Sterling and

759
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: Henry Sahudo. May sixth. I'm on pay per view. We

760
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: just don't have a location. What can you tell us? No,

761
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: I don't want you to reveal the location, even if

762
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: you're hearing rumors. I just want to I want to

763
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts on the date, the opponent, and everything else.

764
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 3: Love it, Love everything about it. I even love the location.

765
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 3: I'm hearing.

766
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're here.

767
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 3: I tell you who doesn't love it? Helt you?

768
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: Oh really?

769
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 3: I'm like, buddy, we got you back in the gym.

770
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 3: Oh yes, I called him yesterday, would pool me, Nakoda?

771
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 3: We we we were just busting this. Bulls were so

772
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 3: happy I got your back. You're not going anywhere, that's right,

773
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 3: that's yeah.

774
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: So some rumblings as to the that's pretty funny.

775
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm down to, John. I'm down to tricking,

776
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: tricking my guys.

777
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't sound like Make six is going to

778
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: be Las Vegas, but we'll see.

779
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 3: Who knows. Who knows? But uh, I hope, I hope

780
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: whatever I'm hearing comes true. But uh, he's one hundred.

781
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: Percent competitive fight. A lot of people like the matchup

782
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 1: for Henry Compare to say the way al Jamain Sterling

783
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: might match up to Sean O'Malley or Marlon cheto Vera.

784
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: I'm seeing Aljoe in some spots minus one twenty as

785
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: a slight betting favorite. Most places don't have a betting

786
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: line out just yet. I haven't seen one on Draftking Sportsbook.

787
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts on the matchup?

788
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 3: I like the Matt look Henry. Is there a better

789
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 3: competitor than him? I don't know so. I like the

790
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 3: height differential and the length differential. I think that'll play

791
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 3: a big part in the fight. It's a good fight.

792
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 3: It's going to be a great fight, you know. I

793
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: don't know. I like it unless you have any specific no.

794
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's obviously a great opportunity to

795
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: build his legacy. I think when we were pulling people

796
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: about who they would get more excited about Henry Sahudo

797
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: or Shan O'Malley. I feel like the public was pretty split,

798
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, but there are you know. I just I

799
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: think it's interesting for Shudo. Obviously he has the resume

800
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: to come back and essentially cut the line. You know,

801
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: even though you certainly argue that Sean O'Malley and cheato

802
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: Vera right now are in a meritocracy ready for a

803
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: championship opportunity. But yeah, I just think it's interesting because

804
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: I do think, at least from a betting perspective, that

805
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: this is going to be the most competitive on paper,

806
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: that al Jamaine Sterling would be a bigger favorite against

807
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: Sean O'Malley and Marlon cheedovera than he would be here.

808
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: So good for you guys taking the most difficult fight,

809
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: at least seemingly on.

810
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 3: Paper without a doubt. You know. I like the fact

811
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 3: that Henry has important a couple of years too, so

812
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 3: maybe that plays into it a little bit. He's getting

813
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 3: how old is Henry now?

814
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: Mid thirties?

815
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 3: I think we know mid He's well, that's a tough fight,

816
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 3: you know, I'm excited. I looked at Henry yesterday. I

817
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 3: was started breaking down the tapes because I did have

818
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 3: the conversation with Al Joebed you.

819
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: Know, pretty short, was pretty short, just kidding.

820
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 3: Sure, he's got a big head though.

821
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: He does have a big thirty six years old as

822
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: of February ninth, or just a couple of weeks ago,

823
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: and right now, Yes, Henrys udo even money the underdog

824
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: on Draftking Sportsbook and minus one twenty for Alja main Sterling.

825
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: All right, very interesting. Last thing. We just wanted to

826
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: check in on your health because we did notice on

827
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: the wide shot a little bit of a long ago

828
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: limp en route to the octagon there with miss and

829
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: sach Cup.

830
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: You know, you know it's funny, I've been limping for

831
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 3: four years now.

832
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: Well, no, and we've seen sometimes the declines can be tough.

833
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 3: But uh oh no, the declines have no going up.

834
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 3: There is absolutely no problem no the declines. If you

835
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 3: I make Frovola go down first, I hold his back

836
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 3: as I'm coming down, I could get that. I just

837
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 3: want to get down quick and I don't want to,

838
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 3: you know, break a leg as I'm going down, and

839
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to have to address this thing. I got

840
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 3: a PRFP shot in my hip. I expected a little

841
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 3: more out of it, and I didn't get really what

842
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 3: I wanted. So you know, when the guy saw the

843
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 3: X ray, he wasn't too happy about it.

844
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: Well, we hope you get that right. And nice little

845
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: coin flip there. We're not printing the shirts like the

846
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: Longo Limp, even though we know they would sell. We're

847
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: not printing those shirts. You know, only print positivity.

848
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 3: Listen, very fair. I feel big because I think people

849
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 3: feel bit me this. I swear, I one hundred percent

850
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 3: feel great. I really do. I feel mentally, I feel

851
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 3: good my hippie shop. But I do work out every time.

852
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know, I go.

853
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 3: I get around it. But I think, my kid, I

854
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 3: think every kills everybody looking at me except for me.

855
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 3: So but it's starting to catch up to me a

856
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 3: little bit now, I got to really address it.

857
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: All.

858
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: Well, we're here for you. We're certainly here for you,

859
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: much more than those extra rounds, folks. And by the way,

860
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: if those producers are listening, we have set Ray a

861
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: new contract. We have raised his rate in twenty twenty three.

862
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: And these are facts here. You know, we don't spit

863
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: an opinion on the anti co imporn podcast. May Longo

864
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: will make more money on the Antiknporn podcast in twenty

865
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: twenty three than he has made in any year prior.

866
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 1: And this podcast is about to celebrate and tate your anniversary.

867
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: We'll moving in the right direction.

868
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you.

869
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: Sorry can't even show up today, but you had to

870
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: deal with me.

871
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 3: Even with Pink Guy. You kind of you you were dying.

872
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 3: You saved that for the end.

873
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: It's so funny because I dealt with some sad news

874
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: last night, and so I came out of my office

875
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: and I was I had been crying a little bit,

876
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: and so my daughters are very in tune with my emotions,

877
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: and so they looked at my eyes. I said, I'm

878
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: not stoned, you know, I'm a little sad, right, And

879
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: they were very doting and hugging on me. And then

880
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: I went and looked in the mirror and I was like, man,

881
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: your eyes look swollen, bro Like, not just from crying

882
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: about your friend, Like, your eyes look swollen. And I

883
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: think I got fucking conjunctivitis in both of my eyes.

884
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 1: So as soon as we're done popping these contact lenses

885
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: out and uh, we're going to get to the modus

886
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: need some drops.

887
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 3: Gotta be careful with the contact lenses. But isn't it

888
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 3: nice to have your kids so comfort you in those times?

889
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 3: How old are you now? Again?

890
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: I am forty four?

891
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I'm going to say another couple of years,

892
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 3: you're going to just thought cry out of nowhere. I

893
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 3: watch I watch a movie now, I can't even I

894
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 3: don't even know what I'm crying about. Something I remember

895
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 3: Sarah calling me up. He goes, what did you start

896
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 3: crying at a certain point, Yeah, one hundred percent. I

897
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 3: just all the time I look at a movie, I

898
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 3: just can't. I feel like when I'm looking at a

899
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 3: movie and I can't help somebody, it just causes so

900
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 3: much internal frustration. I start crying. I want to kill something.

901
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's weird. I either want to

902
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 3: kill somebody or I'm just I just start crying. Well,

903
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 3: I'm crying all the time. If it helped you out,

904
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 3: if that makes you feel any better, I'm always crying

905
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 3: at this point.

906
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: No, you're a supporter. Domina Cruz would classify you as

907
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 1: a supporter, and it's a good thing to be. But yeah, dude,

908
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: it happened for me probably four or five years ago,

909
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: where I just cry at the drop of a hat.

910
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: Like I'm watching fucking kids Baking Championship, right and they

911
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 1: send a kid home. I'm crying. The kid advances, I'm crying.

912
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter the kid's dish and she goes

913
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: to the back and I'm crying, and I'm trying to

914
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: like hide it from my daughter.

915
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't that crazy? Yeah, that is crazy, But you

916
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 3: don't want to see any especially with a kid. You

917
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 3: don't want to see a kid get heard or I

918
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 3: think what I'm feelings is maybe they have to deal

919
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 3: with that for the rest of their life. It's it's brutal,

920
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 3: but you're a human being, you know what I mean.

921
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: It felt like it started to happen with Joe Rogan
