Okay, we're up. Ladies and gentlemen, so sorry. There was a bit of an issue. So we were just talking about Steve Erseg and how good he looked against Pantoja. And I was saying some people thought he won, but to your point, that last round might have been the deciding factor. Yeah, I thought the last round was a decider. I thought it was super close, though, and he looked awesome. But just Pantoja's just such a veteran. He knows how to win, and he pulled it off. He pulled it off in the last round.

But that Ursa Kid, man, for that being his first world title fight, how many fights has he had in the UFC? Like...

Four? How many fights has Steve Ersik had? The crazy thing is about flyweight, it's like flyweight and heavyweight. If you come in and you are a fucking beast, you move up the ladder quick. Not a lot of 125-pound dudes, not a lot of 265-pound dudes. So if you can get elite... Think about guys that stay in the top 10 in the heavyweight division. Like...

that would have taken you out of the mix in the 155 division. You stay in the mix. The only one that catapulted is your boy, Umar Nagarmadov.

Oh, Umar's so good, man. So look at this. He's only had three fights in the UFC before he fights Pantoja for the world title. That's amazing. And by the way, looks so good, especially in the Matt Schnell fight. Fuck, that dude looked good. And all four of those fights happened within one year. Yeah, it fought quick. Which is great if you stay healthy. And it was a unanimous decision?

Yes, it was United. Which is wild. No, no, no, that's not wild. I think it was correct. I think it was correct. I think it was close. It was close. But I like when the guy wins the last round. I think it means more. I mean, I'm an old school guy, right? I like pride rules. I think their theory of scoring is schoolyard theory. But that's not the game. I get it. That's true, too. But it is also fighting. Schoolyard theory is real. Like, if a guy's on top of you and the teachers break it up,

That guy beat your ass. I'm with you, but that ain't the sport we're watching. I know. I know. But that's a real thing. I know this is not scientific or technical. Look, I'm a martial artist. I'm a purist. I think the best style should win, which is why I don't think people should get stood up. I think there's a lot of things that just shouldn't happen that happen in the sport. But I'm pretty much a purist. I only want to know what the fuck works. You know? Yeah.

But you would be open to if they...

made the third round or fifth round of a fight count more? It's just got to feel right perfectly. I was saying this the other day. I think they should only let the judges watch the last round. The Pride rules... Oh, that's wild. The Pride rules, they treated it like a fight fight. Like in a fight fight, the end of the fight is worth more than the beginning of the fight. No doubt. Because the guys have been fighting for a long time. Who's winning at the end? And I'm with him. Especially when I win.

Very good call. I think Dana knows what he's doing on this one. But I think they went bankrupt because of shady business. Whatever you tell yourself, dude. I think it was some Yakuza stuff, wasn't it? Yeah, a lot of that. Yeah. But I'm with you. It was great. Bro, but I don't think it went bad because they judged it badly. Because, dude, those fucking fights were amazing. Also, didn't the UFC just start to become...

What it is? Oh, it wasn't even what it is, man. Pride was before UFC. Pride was fucking huge before the UFC was huge. Yes.

But the UFC was not as big. Pride in Japan would get 80,000 people in an arena. Tokyo Dome, like, wild. Dude, these shows were insane. 90,000. People would walk out. Who was it? What was that one fighter, the Brazilian cat, that got burnt? Because he walked out, they fucking hit him with the pyrotechnics. Was it Hakuna?

It was early days. I know what you're talking about. You know what, in pyrotechnics, like the Super Bowl, it might not have been Pride. It might have been one of those other organizations. I know what you're talking about. They got burnt. Yeah, it was one of those organizations in Japan. And this dude, his cat comes out and gets cooked. In Michael Jackson. And he was good, man. Yeah, he was good. They fucked up.

fucked up his body. He had like third degree burns over like half his fucking body. Fight's tough enough. You know he had no loss. Yeah. Jojil de Oliveira. Yeah. Set on fire in pride. I mean, that guy was good, man. He was fucking good. Who knows how bad that sets back your career? They'd light you on fire. Doesn't help. I think you're done after that. I don't know, man, but I would imagine it's like significant things to overcome. Your skin's all burnt up. And then what do you do going forward? You go give fire safety talks? Yeah.

Well, I think they had to pay him off. They had to give him some cash. But also remember in Pride, those fights were epic. The talent was insane worldwide. But here's the thing. Zero drug testing. Matter of fact. Yes, let's go. Enhance games. So they actually encouraged steroids. Oh, yeah, 100%. You get a better product. Ensign Inouye told us on the podcast, in specific, it has in capital letters, we do not test for steroids. Right.

Rampage will tell you that, too. Oh, he told me, too? Yeah. Dude, it's just they were wild, and they put on the best shows, and they had some of the most amazing fights ever. And I think the most talent-stacked heavyweight division that has ever existed. If you want to think about the prime of pride heavyweight, you have Noguera. You have Mark Coleman. You have Overeem. You have Crow Cop. You have Fedor. God!

What a murderer's role. If UFC had like a 40 and up division where they don't test. Nah, man. Ain't nobody trying to see that. Bro, it's like you only want so much. Like a master's division? Yeah. You only want so much brain damage. Then you just got to opt out. The smart guys opt out. You're already going to struggle. You're already going to struggle. You don't want to be getting beat up continuously until you're dead.

Some people do. You're right. I feel like you should be able to ride horses. Some people built like that. You're going to have to tranquilize Romero. Yeah. He's doing bare knuckle. Yeah, that's where they go to die. Here's the thing about Yoel, though. For whatever reason, Yoel has the capacity to compete at an elite level deep into his 40s. Naturally. Naturally.

Because he's a mutant. He's a freak of freaks. It's because of his neck. It's everything, man. His cornea is thicker. The neck is crazy, but you know the neck is all surgically repaired, right? You know that. He's like RoboCop, right, bro? The neck is one piece. It's like a rod? Yeah, there's a rod. You'll never remember. He had D-ball in his baby bottle. Yeah, bro.

Bro, I think they fucking abracadabra that guy. They did some stuff with that guy. They were looking at his stingray and were like, yeah, let's do this. It just airs the shoulders. I know people have heard me tell this story, but I'm going to tell it again because it's so crazy. The UFC took him to a doctor, and the doctor said, where'd you get this guy? And they go, yeah, he's amazing, right? They go, no, he's got a different structure. They said the tendons in his eyes are three times larger than a normal person's.

They said he's already healing. He had a fractured orbital. They're like, he's already healing. He's like Wolverine. Also, we don't even know if he's 40. He's from Cuba. He might be 60. We have no fucking clue. Or his name. Anything. When he was sitting in that chair, bro, there's a couple moments in doing podcasts where I got reasonably uncomfortable. Really? Because I was in the room with someone who just has this ability to just crush you at any moment. Yeah. It was him and Tyson.

Tyson, the second time I did the podcast with him when he was getting ready to fight Roy Jones, totally different Tyson. First, Tyson was like this mellow hippie. Almost like he was this dude who's not working out. He was just, I don't want to work out. I just want to be cool. Second one was like hyped up Tyson. I was like, whoa. You see him hit the bullseyes with the darts the other day, blindfolded? Crazy.

Bro, that guy would kill you. But there has to be a part of you, Joe, with Tyson. At least if shit hits the fan, you're a black belt. I'll get his ankle. He's going to be in some trouble. With Yoel, there's nothing you can do. I can't even help you. If you're really lucky, Tyson's got a bad knee.

You know, if you're really lucky. Your only hope is to catch a nagging injury. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your only hope. If he collapses on himself. You've seen him hit pads. He'll still fuck you up. He'll still fuck you up. But the Yoel Romero thing is different. Like, Yoel was explaining how he grew up in Cuba and about how he went through their wrestling program. And he was talking about how if you were the elite, you ate three times a day. But if you were below that, you ate twice a day.

Yeah. And he goes, and you're working out with all these animals. Their only way to make their life better is through athletic achievement. And these guys are just warriors, and they're going at it every day. And Yoel looked at me and he goes, and it makes you a machine. Yeah.

I was like, oh, shit. I'm good. That means when you're talking to a real machine, like one of the most elite wrestlers to ever compete in MMA, a freak athlete. You look at some of Yoel's knockouts. Look at that knockout to Weidman, that flying knee with Weidman. The Luke Rockhold, he knocks him out and then he kisses him. Freak. Bro, he was a freak.

And for that guy to explain what he went through as a person to get to be the guy he is now, which is why he's so calm when he gets in there, man. And still competing with a fused neck or whatever. Fused! So he's got to swing his whole body. Yeah. But his neck doesn't move around. It's like an action figure. But I think it might help him take a shot. Yes. Because Derek Brunson hit him with a switch kick once.

I mean, just blasted him in the neck. And he just walked that shit off like it was nothing. Because the whole thing's fused. It's like a neck brace in football. His traps begin at the top of his head. His fucking traps are used. That guy's like a flying squirrel. Yep.

So that's like the freak of freaks. When that guy says something to you, like, and it makes you a machine. Then you got some kid in Calabasas talking about wrestling in the Olympics. I'm like, good luck, dude. Good luck, bitch. You had a soft life. You ate fucking ring dings and ho-hos and shit. I'm not doing that.

Get three hot meals. It's like you have to win for dinner. Bro. I'm going to start taking my kids' meals. You get breakfast and lunch and dinner's a toss-up. I remember Don Fry was on Inside MMA once. I love that show. It was a great show. I loved that show. Were you ever on there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Me too, all the time. I did it a couple times.

I did it once where I was explaining a back take from Quarter Mount. Sick. It was like me and Boss Rootin did like a technique thing where I showed him a dude that's called Samurai. You know that one when you slip around behind a guy and you can get his back? Yeah, yeah. You're on top. Yeah. But so Don Fry is on Inside MMA and he starts saying, he goes, the Russians are the fucking last real men left. He got here. See if you can find it. See if you can find it. It's fucking amazing. Yeah.

Because Don Fry, who's like the manliest man of all time with his fucking crazy cowboy mustache. Old school. He goes, them Russians are the last real men left. Kenny?

Coming up later this month against Mo Luol, does that surprise you that Fedor decided to skip the UFC and go Strikeforce way? No, not at all. You've got to go where you're happy and go where you're most comfortable and go for the money. And that's got to be the deal with Fedor, right? Because he owns M1. He is M1, basically. I'll tell you, the Russians don't like being told what to do, especially by some pansy.

Goddamn Russians are the last men on the planet. Everybody in the U.S. has been feminized so bad we ought to be carrying a purse and high heels, you know?

We need a Putin. Where's our Putin kick ass and not run around apologizing for it We need we need Don Frye today right keep that same energy right now run for president Don Frye's he's all fused up - oh, yeah, he's got a bunch of bad love to see John C Reilly

play him and his life story? Imagine a comedy version of that fight scene. He'd have to wear a rubber suit. Saucy. Like a fat suit. He'd have to get jackmified. Because Don Fry at one point in time, remember when he got jackmified and he was like 230, 235? Don Fry was a fucking stacked

He was a Michelangelo statue. Fuck yeah. We need more diatomites. That Takayama fight was one of the craziest fights in all of history. Oh, yeah. Standing in front of each other, punching each other in the face. Let's play that. How many times? Oh, the fights are about to happen. The leech. He said like three years ago. Here we go. That's the leech. First round, the time on screen is 4.55, 4.54, 4.53, 4.52. Okay.

All right. So is this Carlos Pretas? Leach, he's taking what, two years off? Is this that dude that smokes cigarettes?

Is this that nasty dude that he just landed a vicious knee knockout in his last fight? And he smoked cigarettes? That's what I'm thinking about, right? You talking about the Asian guy? No, the Brazilian cat. Yeah, and he's the favorite. Yeah. Well, yeah, the Asian dude has like 18 losses. This kid in the black shorts, he's good, dude. He's good. He's nasty. I'm pretty sure this is the dude. I really have to apologize if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is the dude.

Is that him? Yeah, there he is smoking cigarettes. Yeah, he's like, I'm a fighter. I'm not an athlete. He goes, I'm a fighter. So this dude smokes. He's been smoking since he was like 14 or something. But the most important thing is like, he's nasty. He knows how to fuck people up. And he's got really good timing, man. He's a real fighter.

But back to your point. See, I think most first rounds go like this. It's the feeling out period. Why win in this round? Why should that count? Because some don't. It's the exact same. Because some don't, Brian. So what do you do? It doesn't, you know, you're right. Like, there's a bunch of different factors involved in fighting. I think one of the problems is the scoring system. The must system.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's our primary problem because I think it's a borrowed system that deals with a one-dimensional sport. It's a very complicated sport, but it's one dimension, meaning punching.

It's complicated. I'm not dismissing boxing. I think you don't ever see boxing at the level you see in world championship fights like a Lomachenko. You never see that level of boxing in the UFC, and you probably never will. I don't think it's possible to achieve that level unless you're only doing that thing. Correct. Impossible. Yeah, because you can't even do that if guys are trying to take you down all the time. You won't develop your skill set the same way if you're training MMA the same way. You get a few freak athletes. You get your Roy Jones juniors that can do shit that nobody else can do. But for the most part...

There's too much to focus on in MMA. Boxers' hands are way better. They're always going to be way better. You can't

You can't deny that. No, there's not enough hours in the day to get to that elite level. I mean, look at Francis. Dedicated his life to boxing for, what, two, three years? Yeah, it's a different thing. Well, also, like, the Joshua fight. Joshua had the opportunity to watch him fight and figure out patterns. But that's how it should go. Right. Right, right, right, right. If he would have knocked out Joshua in three seconds, I'm like, oh, shit. Don't you think, like, Joshua is the more dangerous guy to fight second?

100% Yeah, because he's got that lethal one-punch sleeper power. Knockout artist, gold medalist. Fast as fuck. Fast as fuck, dude. That right hand that he cracked Francis with, I was like, oh lord. I'm missing this fight, huh?

this kid's nasty man i forget who he fought in his last fight but i was i was watching it while i was listening to music and working out so i wasn't completely paying attention to like what the commentators were saying but i was watching the kids movement i was like damn this kid moves good and dana's announced some beastie fights lately yeah man i'm really excited about khalil roundtree although the purest in me is like what about uncle i have

Uncle I have should be next for the title right I mean clearly yeah I hear it clues one five in a row and that light heavy weight right for sure but in Clive also had a draw right he had a lot like he hasn't been that exciting and I get it the Pierce goes well it doesn't matter if it's exciting if he's winning you gotta give him a title shot I know Jamal Hill posted he was bad bro Jamal was mad because uh Khalil had failed a uh a drug examination

But they knew exactly what that was about. It was about something that's very, it's DHEA. It doesn't help your performance. It doesn't help your performance at all. It's just a banned substance. Yes. And it's an accidental ingestion. It's not something that you would get any benefit from performance-wise. If he tested hot for like DECA and they had him in a title fight, they wouldn't get a problem. He informed them the moment he found out his shit had DHEA in it. And they only gave him a two-month suspension. So he didn't do anything wrong. And he didn't benefit from it.

There's a bunch of stuff that's banned. I don't know why. It's a lot. But also, I think, too, just for Alex, this is his story, right? They need a main event, and Clive is already paired up. So Khalil's won five in a row. He's ready to go. Who's that fight I'm fighting next? Rackick. Oh, that's right. When is that fight?

Oh, the other left hand. Dude, I'm telling you, man. And the leech is good, dude. The leech is getting pieced up. There's a head like a Rottweiler. Look at that knee to the body, man. This dude's good, man. He's good. And he's got good head movement, too. When punches are coming his way, he slips like right there. He slips away from shit and counters in the danger zone. He gets in the danger zone.

He had the leech in some trouble. He's can take a punch Oh, so this would be a fun fight Are you remember when Hamza just picked him up and took him over to Dana White bro? And he's like I have five I died Those were the days Those were the days the guy recently that like he broke like the longest losing streak in

Charles Bennett. That was just recently. Oh, Crazy Horse. Yeah, Crazy Horse. Felony. You can't call him Crazy Horse. Oh, it's Felony now? Yeah, because I was commentating his event. Bro, we're old school. I'm old school. He's always been Crazy Horse. I was like, what's up, Crazy Horse? He's like, it's Felony. I'm like, all right, man. Come on, man. It's like Bobby Green. You gotta call him King Green.

Oh, Bobby. It's a felony because it's a crime. I keep losing all these fights. Hey, bro, I was super impressed with Patty Pimblitt. Super impressed with Patty Pimblitt. Yes, Bobby Green can fight. Hell yeah. Bobby Green can fight. He was in trouble on the feet. He was getting his legs kicked out from under him on the feet.

You know, Patty Pimblitt put on a clinic in that fight. How good is it? It was just such a perfect strap. Yeah, he looked great. And he gained 40 pounds since then, he said. He's so crazy. How does he do that? He's like crazy. He just goes nuts. But the point is, like, in that fight, like, yeah, you shouldn't do that. I would say don't do that. But also, but also, the kind of guy that would eat 40 pounds and stick his belly out, that's a wild motherfucker. And that wildness...

with discipline, like when he's in camp. Could be a perfect storm. It's a great storm. It's like Jon Jones. It's a little bit of that. Yeah, a little bit. A little bit of that kind of. But Jon is disciplined. It's tough because with Patty, like he's getting away with it right now. And yeah, he beat Bobby who's ranked whatever, 11. But-

At a certain level, you're going to have to stop doing that. When you get to the top five, I don't know if that's going to fly. You know what I'm saying? You've got to tighten it up at some point. Right now, he's having fun doing his thing. He's not fighting like the creme de la creme. But haven't people been criticizing Paddy this whole time? Of course. That he's a fraud or whatever.

Yeah, of course. Yeah, but they always say that with people that are, you know. When they're more famous than they're well. But also, straight up, dude, in Liverpool, they call him the fifth Beatle. He can't walk down the street. I worked with him in San Diego. Even San Diego, I was like, damn, they know you're out here? Shut the street down. He's so famous and wasn't ranked.

So a lot of other fighters have animosity, so the fans hate him because they think he hasn't earned it. That dude was whooping ass out in England, like destroying. He was making more money not fighting the UFC. He took a pay cut to fight in the UFC. He was headlining events out there, selling out arenas. And finally his manager was like, yo, man, you got to compete in the UFC. And he was like, why? I'm making money. He's like, it's just if you want to be the best, we got to do this, even though you take a pay cut.

So that's why he went over. I don't know if you guys caught this in between rounds, but the leech has a blonde Asian female corner man. What's that supposed to mean? Telling him what to do. So he's about to get knocked out. How dare you? What if she's like a K-1 champion? No, that was Trump's Secret Service lady. Remember her? Fumbling with the gun? Yeah, that was a mess. She might be K-1. I thought she was going to shoot herself. I'm like, imagine if she shoots herself in the hip.

That lady was in a mid-panic putting that gun away. Bro, are we in a movie or is this real life? I need to know. Someone changed the movie. I need to know because if it is a movie, boy, the writing is amazing. If this is a simulation, what a great simulation. It's crazy. All of it's crazy.

Happy to be on the cast. I mean slap fighting what? Everything everything President Kamala all the things all the things fucking save the sharks what the fuck are we doing?

What are we doing? We're saving sharks? Save the sharks. Shouldn't we kill the sharks? Is that a thing? Yeah. People try to save sharks. Oh, that dude you had on your podcast talking about the sharks. Oh my God, right? Didn't it change the way you think about sharks? No. Dude, I'm not taking credit. I've always said that. You always thought that. Makes sense. I've always fucking said this because they're like, you know you're more likely to die in a car crash than get eaten by a shark. I'm like, not if I swam in the ocean every day to work. Yeah. No, you're way more likely to get eaten. Oh, Carlos is lighting the...

to leech up but what I liked about when I watched this guy fight is his management of distance like he's always in the right spot to counter you and he sneaks out of stuff like real nice uses his range really well and he's got real good timing right like he knows what you're capable of doing when you're moving forward you know some guys get caught up in like the anxiety of exchanges sometimes and they misjudge and miscalculate timing and distance and

And when a guy's really good at calculating timing and distance when something's coming at him, that's a special talent. Connor, when he fought Eddie Alvarez, perfect example of it. Perfect mastery of timing. There it is. I know exactly what you can do. I'll let your punch touch me, and then bing. Anderson Silva, Stefan Bolling. I think Connor and Eddie Alvarez is the best one ever. I really do. This is it. That cowboy one with Rick Story. Woo!

Oh my god, that combination. The Mortal Kombat combo? Oh my god, incredible. Oh! Well, no, he's hurt. He's hurt and he has such a big head that he can't put him away. Oh, that's it. Oh my god, that's it.

I'll tell you this, Carlos. He kept trying to dodge with just his head? He was hurt, dude. His head's too big. He was hurt. No? No, he was hurt. You got to understand, once a guy gets lit like that, like your legs aren't moving good. You don't know what the fuck is happening. Your reaction time is slower. Yeah, you're confused. Right now he's thinking, I shouldn't have hired a blonde Asian woman. You son of a bitch, Tony. Also, I got to be real careful. Because fucking around with you, I'll be in the same room with one of these motherfuckers. I'll be like, remember that shit you said? I'm the fucking...

Man, you laugh when Tony and Chop make that joke. Some dudes get very sensitive. He's still out. You don't want that heat. Oh, yeah. He got rocked, dude. He got rocked. That guy is very good. The crazy thing was that his head movement was incredible the whole time. That guy's just so accurate. Also, his head's fast. Carlos is... Look at that one-two, man. That's beautiful. I'm telling you, man. This kid, his timing...

It's really good. And you've got to understand that a guy like this is just going to get better and better with world-class competition. So the Leach has been top 25 guy for a while, right? Yeah, and he's been out two years. Yeah. The highest you would imagine the Leach would be ranked.

15? Maybe, right? He's in that. Before Hamzat. It's a fucking world-class fighter. It's a world-class fighter. And this dude just pieced him up. He's not the best in the division, but he's representative of a really elite MMA professional fighter. It's a great feathering dude's cap. That's a great step for his career. This is how it should go. Also, Leach must sound badass in Mandarin because it's a shitty English nickname.

I think it's because he's such a good grappler. He clings on to you like a leech. Is that it? That's my guess. I don't think he's that good of a grappler. Or because he sucks. Second-degree black belt. Yeah, Hamza. Is he? In jujitsu? What'd you say? He's a second-degree black belt in jujitsu? I think so. Where'd you come up with that? It's rare you're second-degree. That's why I'm suspect. That's why I got skeptical hippo eyes. It's possible. I mean, it depends on who. Look at that. Ranked jujitsu black belt.

Yeah, he might very well be. I'm a big fight fan. Look at that. Young Tony. Nails it. For sure, he's a really good grappler, but Hamzat just ragdolled him. But Hamzat's a freak, man. Especially at 170. Hamzat's driving me nuts. A, he's never making 170 again, so let's not even talk about it. Why not?

Because he can't make the weight. He's fighting Winning at 85. But when he does... But when he does, he's a praying mantis eating wasps. Yeah, I know. You ever see that?

Gordon's belt. Yeah. Yeah. That's Gordon's belt. He's competing. You ever see a praying mantis eating a wasp? Hell yeah. Yeah. I watched a thousand of those. Yeah. I've seen a thousand videos of praying mantis eating other things. Praying mantis eats the male praying mantis. That's kind of what he was like. Yeah. He fucked him up. When Hamzat was like grabbing a hold of people at 170, he was kind of like a praying mantis that was eating other bugs. He was fucking dudes up. Yeah. But he can't make the weight. He's

He's too unreliable. He just needs to be a little bit more disciplined. Bro, 170, he's almost unstoppable. Even when Gilbert caught him, Gilbert caught him on the noggin multiple times and dropped him, remember? Yep, that was a wake-up call for him. He still fucking kept going like that guy never stopped coming. That's why I'm excited to see him. Even though he got clipped and hurt. Look at this. They're eating wasps. They're so slow. They're not slow. Dude, they catch hummingbirds.

You never seen a praying mantis catch a hummingbird? No, man. Oh, son. Get him, son. Let's go. It's the nuttiest thing. So they sit over those water feeders where the hummingbirds come, and they just sit there. And when the hummingbirds fuck up and they don't realize that that's a murderous assassin waiting for them. Watch this.

Snatch. That's your ass, bitch. Damn, they're fucking strong. Bro, they're crazy strong. They're strong like something that's a hundred times bigger than it is. Got them in the umma platter. It's not a question of the bird getting away. The bird's never going to get away. Oh, this person just knocked a fucking... That guy's a douchebag. Yeah. You're a douchebag. Circle of life. Cockblock. Yeah, that's a person who is like he values...

He values birds over insects. That's a white dude that voted for Kamala Harris. All he did was just make that species of bird dumber. The dumb bird deserves to die. Right. Good point. It's evolution. Evolution. Yeah. But the thing is, it's like, why do we prefer, they're both alien to us. If you saw a bird without its feathers, like, what the fuck is that thing? Right? Like, what are those things? It's just they look pretty because they have feathers. Why do we like the insects less than we like the birds? Because they're not cute.

I guess, right? How close they're kind of cute. Isn't that weird? No, I mean, I'll put it like this. You ever met somebody that loves spiders? Mm-hmm. They're never normal people. No, like a dude who has snakes. Right, right. Get the fuck out of here. You don't have snakes, bitch. You got a monster that you feed. Yeah.

It's like, oh, look, it's my little buddy. Fuck you. That thing doesn't give a fuck if you live or die. That's a goddamn reptile. A slithery monster. I think we're programmed to like cute shit. Yeah, that's Disney, too. Yeah, if you like snakes, if you're like a snake person, you like to live with snakes, I mean, maybe you're cool. You think? I mean, I'm open-minded.

I'm open-minded. I'm willing to maybe accept that maybe you're cool. Jake the snake. But if you have like goth makeup on and like platform shoes and you have snakes. And your best friend's a python.

Walking around New York last week, I saw rats that were in my weight class. I mean, absolutely. Like, oh, look at that trash bag over there. And it just starts running away. Bro, I saw one in New Jersey once. I'll never forget this. We were coming up to this pool hall. And as we're walking from the parking lot to the door, I see this rat that's by this dumpster that's the size of a cat.

It was so big, man. It was like, no bullshit. That big. That big. And standing up on its hind legs, like, baring its teeth at us. And I was in a hot panic. I was like, dude.

Yep. What if that attacks us? This is crazy! There was literally one that looked like a fucking kangaroo. A kangaroo. It was up on its fucking back legs running like that. And they know they can scare you off. Especially the bigger ones. And why don't we think they cute? Hey mammals. But we like squirrels. We love squirrels. But people think squirrels are cute. But squirrels are just rats. Rats with fancy coats. Just cute rats. A rat is hairs on its tail away from being adorable. Yeah, the squirrels have fluffy tail privilege. Yeah, you're right.

It's fluffy tail privilege. Don't rats, don't they find some rats like in New York, they have like the black plague on them and shit? Oh yeah, they have a bunch of shit. Bro, there's a documentary on Netflix, Rats. You ever watch that documentary? Yeah, there's more rats than humans. Well, it's not just that. It's like they test them for all these crazy diseases all over the country. All over the country, they find these rats, they test them, but just plague. They have old school shit. Horrible, ancient diseases that wipe out mankind. Same thing. Did I ever tell you my rat story when I lived in Encino?

Encino? Encino. So I lived in Encino, and I was renting this house, and it had a garage, and that's where I put my garbage out before I would put it outside in the morning. So I'd open my door, put my garbage out, and then I heard a bunch of rattling around, and I heard, snap! And I go out there, and this big fucking rat, big rat got caught in the rat trap. I was like, whoa. But I was tired. I didn't want to deal with this fucking rat.

So I went to sleep. And I said, I'll deal with it in the morning. I'll throw it out. And I got up in the morning. I go out to the garage and there's a skeleton. I mean, not even a skeleton. There's like almost nothing left except the tail. They ate him. The other rats? The other rats ate him. I mean, they must have eaten him immediately. They must have just started eating him immediately. Like instant cannibalism. And here I am.

I'm renting a fucking four-bedroom house in the hills on a television show, and I'm watching National Geographic play out in my garage with...

animals eating their kin after they get tricked into biting on peanut butter and get their fucking neck snapped. They're like, well, I guess we gotta eat Harry. I'm just imagining the rats trying their last time to free him and they're like, we can't get you out. Well, I don't think there was any trying. No, no, guys, wait a minute. Come on, man. Come on, man.

It was eerie, man. It was eerie. It was because it was like I knew at that moment that I'm sharing. I'm pretending that I'm in this house, right? I'm pretending I'm separated from the natural world. But I'm not. I'm not. I'm in this really porous house where things can get in. And they burrow in. They live amongst you. And they hide from you when you're around. Oh.

Oh, that one's eating the other one. Oh, no. Their brains? That is cheating. Feasting on the brains of their dead friend. That's why no one fucks with rats, man.

People have pet rats. You don't see squirrels doing that? But here's the thing, man. If you don't feed people, they do the same thing. It's wild things. It's things that are living a hard life. For survival. Yeah. If you feed rats, they don't do that. If you have a rat sanctuary, where you have a whole room that's filled with rats and they have plenty of food, they're like, hey, what's up? You can come up to them, pick them up. They're friends. They're not going to cannibalize each other. Yeah, but...

Every time I hear stories like that, I need to know. Are those suburban rats or are those rats from the streets? I think rats from the streets. It's just rats are adaptable, just like pigs are and people are. That's what I think. Rats are super adaptable, right? Yeah.

super super rats and roaches yeah gangster super but rats are weird and like they they get the younger rats to check stuff that's right when there's poison in the food they're like hey if you're hungry go try that yeah they let the younger rats go take a bite take a bite of that that thing snap oh look harry got got it's time to eat harry or just eat them or if there's poison in it they might eat it and they'd wait and like it's good let's eat it oh i see that usually you ever see those videos where they uh

They have like a real sticky floor and one at a time they run out and get stuck. That's a rat trap. It's almost like honey. It looks like honey. Those are nasty. Oh, it's terrible. Rats, they fucking high step through that shit. They high step through like a fucking running back. That's only for mice? Yeah, I think it's for mice. I mean, I've never seen a rat get out of it, but I don't know.

We have a rat issue in my backyard, and my girl bought one of those. I'm like, he's going to fucking steamroll right through that thing. You see their little paws. Rat problems are weird, man. The rat problems are weird. That's why people don't like coyotes, but guess what? That's the only thing that keeps those rat populations down. Really? And hawks. Don't hawks fuck them up? Sure. All those things. Yeah, you're right. Because in the valley, we got hawks and coyotes. Mountain lions, if they can catch them. But it's...

Bobcats, for sure. But you need something to kill those rats. Snakes? Sure, snakes can kill them. Yeah. But you definitely need things that eat rats. You can't just have rats. No. I cannot fuck with this dude. Every time I see him drink out of a shoe, it makes me want to fucking vomit. Oh, Tai Tuivasa. You've got to stop this. He tried to drink out of my shoe. Word. I drank out of his shoe. I'm like, bro, I could tell you some stories about my feet that would make you stop that.

And they call it a shoe, and they spit in it before. Oh, I almost threw up. It was a straight luge. I almost threw up. This is a good fight, though, man. Because Jairzinho Rosenstreich, he is an elite striker. And Tai Tuivasa is an elite striker, too. These dudes are, I mean... He's like Derek Lewis with a good back. But he's very skillful, man. Like, his kickboxing is very high level. He's the guy that, like, unfortunately...

He hit Francis with a couple of inside leg kicks and Francis was like, fuck this. Francis homer Simpson him and just ran at him like this. Francis is like, we know we ain't pity pattering. I'm just going to storm the gates and I think I can knock you out before you can knock me out. And he just caught him with one shot. It was bat shit too. Like that strategy. Who does that? Wild. Wild.

I mean, that's the upside to having that one-punch power is you can't just ignore those. I think it was also Francis recognizing, I don't like the way this is going. Like, this staying on the outside, he's chopping on the inside of my leg, his timing's really good. There was animosity, too, leading into that. But it's weird to have a training camp and then fight like that. We don't need to even have a training camp. Well, you know what it is? It's just I think Francis, at the end of the day, knows all he has to do is touch you.

So it's like fuck this this guy kicked me again. He kicked me again. Yeah, fuck this is the fuck out He just lost he's like maybe just senses that he could just launch at this guy Francis has a fight coming up Yeah, he's fighting that dude that Ferreira guy that guy's big bro. I do just keeps getting better and scarier Francis Yeah, wait. Do you see this Brazilian Brazilian huge dude? Oh, man? That's the steep the steep a loss

like change Francis in a way where it's like he's super super scary to me now oh he's very scary did you watch the Joshua fight though no oh you just went to boxing oh yeah but that's again that's different Jamie show that dude versus that PFL fight that they just had he lost bad worse than I thought he would

That's how it should go, though. Versus Ryan Bader. Did you see the last Jackass movie where he's hitting people in the nuts? Who hit people in the nuts? Francis Nagano. Oh, God. Oh, it's so funny. So this dude is the dude that Francis is going to fight. Hennon Ferreira. Wow, these jump cuts are terrible. And Hennon Ferreira is...

Bro, he's fucking good. That was Jamie. Jamie did that. Oh, okay. He just fast forwarded. He just fast forwarded. Me too. I was like, God, Doug. Ryan Bader, who spent a lot of his career at 205, and this dude hasn't been 205 since he was eight. Ryan Bader is an undersized heavyweight. He's a light heavyweight. Yeah, he's a light heavyweight, but he's got success at heavyweight as he's gotten older because it helps him to not cut weight, and he's a real good fighter. But this fucking dude is so big. Look at that right hand. Mm-hmm.

Ryan caught him there, though. Yeah, but not enough. No, he's too light in the ass. The thing is, it's also just like the timing in that right hand. Like, that's elite, man. He's 6'8". He's a big fella. Grab a basketball. And I've seen some of his videos from other fights. Watch how he lands his punch, too. Check out this timing on this. This is fucking...

His footwork for being 6'8". Nice. His footwork ain't no punk either. No, he's good. Not an easy fight for Francis. Not an easy fight. That's what I'm saying. I don't like it. And there's a lot on the line. And seven people's going to watch. Also, you're coming off of a knockout. Also, unfortunately, the death of his son, which is a horrible tragedy. Can't even talk about Joe. How could a guy like...

be completely able to prepare just emotionally to fight when your son just died. That'll haunt you. No matter how strong you are physically, no matter how strong you are mentally, your son just died. You're going to be filled with sadness. Unless you killed him.

No, he definitely didn't. Unless your son was a real piece of shit. Your son was like a pedophile clown. He's like 27, though. This kid was 30, you know? Yeah. It's a horrible story. So it's like, this guy's got to get over that. Then he's got to get over the first knockout of his career against a guy like Anthony Joshua, who's an Olympic gold medalist.

in your second professional fight ever, which is so crazy. Who the fuck goes from fighting the heavyweight champion to an Olympic gold medalist? Two fights in a row. Your first two pro fights. As crazy as it is, think about who goes against the UFC and then it actually works out for him. Never. It's never worth it for him. Nobody but him. So he leaves. Fights Fury, we're like, this is insane. He's getting fucking mollywhopped.

Pretty close fucking fight. I thought he won. We thought he won. And then with Joshua, that's when I was like, all right, man. If this is the reality, if we're not in a simulation, he should get starched. And that's what happened. But he made more money in those two fights than he ever did in MMA. And might have ever been able to.

Oh, not even close. Because one of the things, hats off to the Saudis, what they're doing is incredible. Because they're just saying, we have all the money, why don't we just make these fights happen? We want the best fights. Like, hey, Terrence Crawford, do you want to fight Canelo Alvarez? Yeah. Hey, Canelo Alvarez, do you want to fight Terrence Crawford? Let's fucking...

That's not happening anymore, though. What? No, no, no, no. Canelo doesn't want it. This is what Canelo doesn't want to do. He doesn't want to talk about other fights while he's preparing for this fight that he's going to have in September. And so he's like, I don't talk about future fights before I fight this dude that I have to fight. But then that Saudi Sheik's talking shit to Canelo, which I don't like. A little respect there. It's fucking Canelo, dude. Yeah, but when you're the Sheik, you ain't got to respect nobody. Bro, did you see he made Dana hold his hand? That's how you know...

And I'm not talking like this. I'm talking interlocked fingers. Dana was like, fuck it. Yeah, fuck it. I do the same. What do you do the same? What's the most of all the cultures that get handsy? That men are allowed to get handsy with you. What's the one culture? What is the one that does the most grabbing?

The one that does the most hugging, holding on to you. You have to hug with them and walk with them. Kiss each other in the cheek. Is it Italians? No. Italians love it. I'm going to say India. India? Yeah, they get real handsy. It's one of those countries where they don't have space. You're on the bus and everybody's just so used to people touching them. Yeah, not good. You don't want that. Well, that cheek though. Yeah.

They look like a side piece. I like it. I like it too. I like it too, man. They should make you sing a Beatles song too. You know what I mean? It was such a boss move. It was such a boss move. It wasn't gay. You know what I'm saying? Of course not. You watching that damn transfer, is it at 35%? You're like, I'll put my hand in this nigga's pocket until this shit get at 100. I have a choice. Give him my hand or give him my head. It's amazing what you can get done with a lot of money.

Everybody just sort of shuts the fuck up. Except Canelo. Canelo's kind of like, you know, you guys got to do it my way. That's because he's set. You can do anything with money, but get somebody to love you. Yeah. Elon can hold my hand anytime he wants. I'd let him. I'll let him know. I'll tell him. I'll call him right now. I'll hold Elon's pocket. One finger. Just mopping around with him.

Jairzinho. This fight's not going to go long. If it does, it's going to be a bad fight. It's going to be a wild fight for sure. Look, Taito Iwasa has never been in a boring fight in his fucking life. That dude knows one way. Like, let's fucking go. That guy literally should have let's fucking go tattooed on his chest. How is he so dry? Don't they warm up in the sun?

Some guys don't. Some guys don't. They warm up a little bit. You know, they just get ready. You got ashy nipples. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, you said it. I'm not that dry. I'm not him. I'm not him. The black dude. Oh, Jairzinho. Yeah. Watch when they go back to him. He looks like he just walked out of a volcano.

Doing this shooting. Oh, my God. Literally, like, he just got rescued out of a fire. Drinking agave off a flip-flop. Jesus Christ. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's fucking go. Mark got it. That's the thing that people... Dude, I hope he comes to the mothership and he's like, fucking volcano, dude. Hey, mate. Fucking volcano.

There is a thing, though, about... I think, Jorginho, what you're seeing is... Look at this guy. He's ashy from the shoulders. It's tattoos, brother. It's tattoos. It's ashy. Is that what it is? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they're talking about Rosenstruck. You're talking about... Yeah, I'm talking about Rosenstruck. Oh, you are? He's got tattoos on his chest, doesn't he? Oh. Aren't those tattoos? I don't think so. It's...

Brian, do you hear me? Tattoos. Like some tattoos you can't see. Brian, do you hear me? I called him Ash. He's scary. Oh, my God. Those tattoos that Ty has are the most painful, apparently. That's those tapping style. Oh, inside your thigh? Fuck that. Bro, but they do it that ancient way where they tap it in with a stick. The wood and the stick? Yeah, fuck you. Bro! Takes like six years. Yeah, look at it. It's all over his body, his legs.

Yeah, it goes up to his ass. You got to be a crazy motherfucker to get that done. Yo, have you seen these things out now? Like what the rich athletes are doing is they're getting put under and getting their full body down. That's some ho shit. Post did that. Oh, that's some ho shit. That's fucking dick. Post Malone did that. Oh, Post. I think he just went out for like eight hours. Blood light, now this? Goddamn, Post. Is that fine if that's true? I thought it was a good idea if you don't mind being knocked unconscious by doctors. Fuck that. That's just so dangerous, though. I'm not really interested in that. Anesthesia is nothing worse for you.

It's definitely not good for you. Yeah. I don't know about nothing, but it's bad. Yeah, Jairzinho definitely has tattoos, bro. I don't think so, man. I don't think so. Some Bobby Green style tattoos. No, you know, honestly, I think he just got shimmery skin. Well...

Let's not talk about these things. Let's talk about the fight itself. Look how fucking patient Tai Tuivasa is. Respect. That's what that is. That's respect for the power of religion. It's also like he's sort of like, you know, he's had some losses where he got caught. And so he's, you know, figuring out what went wrong in the Sirogan fight. A little more calculated. Yeah, a little more calculated. Fight a little smarter.

And then, you know, when shit gets wild, you know he's going to throw. It's in his DNA. Yeah. Like, you can only be controlled for so long, and then he just has that fucking Maui warrior, and I'm not going to come out. Which also leads to a lot of chaos, right? He wins a lot. Especially at heavyweight. Yeah. But that's also why we love him. Yeah. That overhand right from Rosenstruck could be a very serious problem.

He's fucking good, man. Look at that timing of moving away from that low kick. He's got that Derrick Lewis power, man. Oh, well, he's the one who split Alistair Overeem's face open. You ever see that? No. That's the craziest picture in all of MMA damage.

He hit Alistair with a looping right hand and caught him on the face, ripped his lip clear open to his nose. Oh, I do remember that. Yeah, that's Jairzinho. And he caught him at the end of the fight. There was like a few seconds left in the fight. And he leaps and catches him with a hook on the face.

Bust his mouth open. It was crazy. Do you know the most brutal knockout when over him got knocked out by Francis? Yes, it was like a looney tune uppercut and his neck goes Definitely the most brutal. Look at that. Yeah. Yeah. That's his lip. That was his lip when Jairzinho broke his face open. That's crazy, man. That looks like hamburger meat.

Back in the old days, he would just have a list for the rest of his life. They wouldn't even sew that shit up. You think that's more brutal than the flying knee from Game Bread? Oh, against a basketball? Oh, that's good. That's arguable. That's arguable. Good point. Yeah, good point. You know what the difference is? They're both brutal, but remember, Alistair Overeem was a K-1 world champion striker. Right. And his fucking neck...

Right. And the uppercut's so brutal. Like, because Ben's down. He's shooting. And you see that flying knee. It was so fast. It's definitely 1A, 1B. That fucking uppercut Overeem ate from. And it's Francis from downtown. No doubt. Boom. Full power. How much would you have loved to see saucy Overeem versus Francis? Saucy.

The old days, the good old times, before there was sophisticated drug testing. The good old times, like when Alistair Overeem fought Brock Lesnar. Jesus. Can you imagine a saucy Francis? He wouldn't make weight.

Saucy Francis wouldn't make weight. Francis cuts weight on the natch to get to 265. There's an upper limit? No. 265 is the limit. 265 is the limit. No fatties. No fatties in UFC. No fatties. There's not enough big guys. It's so dumb. There'll never be a UFC butter bean? No, sir.

But the thing is, there could be, and this is my thought. My thought is there should be no limitation for the heavyweight division. And just open it wide open and have a 225. Have a mid-division. I would have fought at 225. Because I'd weigh in around 234. I was always smaller. Always smaller. And then there's these guys like Semmy Schilt.

Who's like seven feet tall, 300 pounds cutting down. You have a guy like Stipe or Dos Santos, me. All surround, 230, 240, fighting, 260. 25-pound weight difference? Big difference when a guy like Francis comes around. And real 25. Yeah. When it's muscle, you're fucked. So they can't do a super heavyweight? They should. There's not enough big guys. They should just do a heavyweight. Instead of making another one 265 and above, because there is not enough. It's like we were talking about the talent pool.

Like the talent pool in the heavyweight division is not nearly as deep as like the 155-pound division because there's a lot of dudes who weigh 155 that are elite fighters. There's not a lot of dudes at 265 that are elite fighters. Also, if you're – let's say you're 226 and over and you're athletic, you ain't fighting for a living. You're playing the NFL. Right. You're making real money. There's more attractive options that aren't going to give you fucking brain damage. The real athletes that are big aren't going to be upset. Yeah, especially if you're tall.

Like, why would you do this to yourself when you could just fucking shoot threes and get cheers? Yeah, dunk a basketball. What are you doing? I want to wear a fur coat, bitch. I want to drive a Bugatti. I want to get my fucking face kicked on TV. Too big for a Bugatti. Fuck that. So it's like it's hard for the – you have to be a crazy person to want to do this. Or have no options. But that – when you are a crazy person that's also an elite athlete, look how far you go. Correct. You know? Yeah.

If you think about some of the guys that are in the UFC now, now that it's becoming a choice for young athletes, they realize you can actually get famous. And that suits you more than playing a sport. It's a weird trade because, yeah, you might be more famous and recognizable, but you're not going to get the same money. True. And guaranteed money. If you don't give a fuck about...

This other sports like if you're a kid right and you're growing up and you you know your brother gets into Muay Thai And you start doing Muay Thai and you start fucking people up in Muay Thai and you want to learn wrestling and do MMA like you don't give a fuck who's winning the basketball game you're interested in Muay Thai you're interested in fucking people up

That's what you're going to pursue. You're not going to have a ton of friends. Most of those guys don't come through a competitive athletic background, like a high school program, some sort of college program. It's also not encouraged, though. Right. Because you're not going to go to college, get an education, if you're fucking kicking dudes in the face. Right. So parents aren't encouraging it. And both of these cats we're looking at right now have been flatlined on TV and in front of the world. Both of these guys. Nobody wants that. So you have to be a special type of person that can take getting KO'd.

in front of the world like Jairzinho did and bounced back with no problems at all. But also think about it. If you're 265 pounds...

Yeah, again, with fighting, it's so tough. There's just no avenue, really, either. So parents aren't going to encourage it. So who would you say is the best athlete at heavyweight right now? I'll tell you who I think. At heavyweight? The dude that John Jones. Ciro Gunn? Yeah, Ciro Gunn. Ciro Gunn's a very good athlete. He's so light on his feet. I think Tom Absinthe. That's a good possibility, too. Ty just caught him, huh?

Oh, see, now Ty's going to turn it on. So this is like patient Ty's out the window, and now it's wild Ty. It's also like he's a race car burning race fuel. That bitch is going to run out fast. Well, it's also he hurt him, so now he knows he can hurt him. Oh, see, he's pressing. He got countered there, though. Jairzinho's good, man. Look, Ty has a fucking chin, bro. He's got a chin. What a chin he's got. He takes an incredible shot.

But it's like you just can't get reckless with Jairzinho. He's very polished. I always think too if you're like on the bigger end like Ty, you should get stomach tattoos. It looks so much better I think. Also, forgive me Derek Lewis. He doesn't have Derek Lewis power because Derek Lewis would have finished him. No, no, no. Nobody has Derek Lewis power. Nobody has Derek Lewis power. Most knockouts in heavyweight. Oh shit, he got blasted there. Bro, Derek has the kind of power that Francis was hesitant to exchange with him.

Derek will put you to sleep. He puts everybody to sleep. That Curtis Blades knockout when he hit him with that uppercut? Dude. How about the Volkov fight? He was losing the fight, and we were just saying that he can knock him out with any punch. And then boom! And then he says, I had to knock that motherfucker out for Donald Trump. He likes to hurt people.

people Derek oh yeah there's a really good dude if he doesn't he's a great guy guy good dad he doesn't like you do he would like to fuck you up yeah and he didn't have no problem with that and have no problem with doing it you ever follow his Instagram it's just oh yeah it's amazing people getting hurt he's okay yeah you know he drives the fucking Lamborghini yeah small one though not like the Aventador is a Huracan Huracan's a badass car man it's not meant for big guys

Like I can't fit in it. Oh, he can't fit in it? Nah, fuck not. He must have special seats. Oh, he hurt himself! Oh, oh shit! Oh, Ty hurt his knee or something. It looked like he hurt something after that kick. Like he was in pain, man. And he stepped back? Yeah, man. He stepped back like limping in agony. What happened? Oh, his knee's fucked up. Look at him. Something's wrong. Yeah.

Fuck, what happened? These boys are swinging. This is what we wanted, though. This is crazy that Ty was just barely walking a few steps ago. Look at him now. What a fucking animal, dude. Something happened. I wish we could hear the commentary. Oh, we're going to see it in the lower corner. I think it was a check, man. I think he checked it. Nope. Oh, it's his actual leg. Oh my God, it's above the ankle. It's broke.

Did you see that? It was bent. No, no, no. I don't think so. Because he's so big, he couldn't walk on it. I think when he threw that kick, he fucked up his left knee. Can I see that? I can't see it again. Or did it hit one of those nerves? You know what I'm saying? I don't think. It didn't look. It's hard because it's that little square. But what it looked like to me was a lot like the Aspinall thing.

Like when he threw the kick and the supporting leg gave out? Not as bad, though, because he's too low. No, no, no. Whatever, 70 pounds. So if there was structural damage, there's no way. He ain't moving forward. I think he might have hyper-extended it. But there's two bones there, right? I don't think it's a bone thing, dude. I think he threw a kick, and I think his left leg gave out. Mm-hmm.

I think his supporting leg gave out. Because sometimes when you throw a kick, if you're not pivoting enough, you put all the pressure on your knee. I actually blew my ACL out kicking the bag when I was 21.

So I know the injury specifically. I don't know if that's what happened to him. It's also the torque and the turn. Yeah, but a lot of times that's what happens to guys is they'll blow out the supporting leg. That's what Aspinall, when he threw a kick, he blew out his support, right? Didn't he? Yeah. And that's going to mess with his lateral movement. It all depends on what actually happened. Like, I can't tell what happened because he doesn't look like he's limping. Yeah. Yeah.

He's not throwing the same amount. No, see, it wiggled a little bit there. He might have a torn ACL. Yeah, because when he tries to move to the side, that's when he feels it. He might have a torn ACL, but let me tell you something. There's dudes fighting in the UFC at a high level that have torn ACLs. Well, they don't have one at all. They don't have one at all. They have torn, completely torn. I know for a fact. I don't want to give them up, but I know two dudes that have completely torn ACLs. John Elway played his whole NFL career without one. Rico Rodriguez was the UFC heavyweight champion. He had a torn ACL.

Rico was like one of the first Machado black belts. You can manage it. I've had a torn meniscus since I was an Ultimate Fighter. Yeah, but meniscus is a different thing because it's not structural. It sucks. I'm just saying you can deal with it. There's certain ones you can deal with. MCL can be tough. But the thing about the ACL that's a real problem is it's the stability. Because it wiggles around a lot. So there's a lot of guys, they strengthen their hamstrings. But it's never the same. Here it is. So let's see what happened.

So, oh, so DC's doing our play-by-play. Let's see. They might not even cover it. They have to. It's a big deal. I would certainly ask. Oh, look at that Rosenstreich left hand. Oh, dude, he hit him with some combinations. Okay, there it is. See? Left leg. Watch. Yep, supporting leg. This episode is brought to you by Kitanica.

Oh, maybe not. Nope. Maybe he hurt that right foot? Or he hit the top of his foot on his knee. It could have been either one. It's hard to say. Because it looks to me like he was bobbling around on the left leg. That's what it looked like to me. But maybe DC would know better because he could listen to the corner.

It looks like you just hurt his foot. Either way, he seems okay now. He seems okay now. He's not walking bad at all. Now, if it was ACL or structural, his big ass ain't moving around. Yeah, but dudes have blown ACLs out and kept fighting. I know multiple guys who have fought. They blew their knee out. TJ Dillshaw, when he beat Sanhagen, right? Same thing. Blew out his ACL super early in the fight. How about Strickland? That motorcycle accident, he didn't have a quad. Yeah, his one of his legs is fucked up. That's why he doesn't wrestle a lot.

Bro, I'm so fucking pumped for this main event. I really am. I'm so pumped. I think Izzy's going to blow through this guy. Dude, I really hope Izzy wins. I kind of need him to win. Dude, I'm telling you, Drikus is a puzzle that's tough to solve. His timing is so weird. Strickland kind of figured it out, though. I thought Strickland beat him. You know who he reminds me of? Remember when Izzy fought Cannadier? Cannadier? Cannadier, yeah. He reminds me of him where he's just that kind of...

Unorthodox bull in the china shop. Always forward. Bigger guy. Jared is the only guy that's fought successfully and had KOs at heavyweight, light heavyweight, and middleweight.

Jared is as big as you can get to be 185. He's massive, dog. He's finally getting a good fight again. I thought that last fight was bullshit. Me too. When they stopped that fight. That was one of the worst premature style Jared Cannoneers last fight. They gave him a good fight. I was so scared. That was when I was real scared that he was going to lose. That dude he fought, though, was very fucking good. That Abus guy? Yeah. Who did he? No, who was it? No, it wasn't him. Who was it that Jared Cannoneer just lost to? Definitely no tattoos. It wasn't Abus. It was another guy. That other guy that's really good. Russian Cat. Russian Cat.

Yes, what's that? Is it emo mall? Yes, savage. He's fucking good. But who they gave canoneer? He's next canoneers. Next is a good fight. Yes Yeah, I do from Brazil that dudes a bad guy who's a bad mother. That's a fun They said it was ties to tell me my broken. Oh, he broke his toe. Oh, we can work with damn it How long is that that fight? It's a while from now. How long is that fight? What is it? Oh, oh

So they pulled out? Did Jared pull out? Oh, no, he's saying Taito Iwasa's toe, not Jared. Oh, Taito Iwasa broke his toe. Oh, I thought you were saying Jared Kananir broke his toe. Oh, so that's what it was in that fight? Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, he hit it right on the top of the knee. That's a terrible fucking injury. Which toe? Probably the big one. Those injuries suck so hard. He only has big toes. Turf toe. He's five big toes. You ever had turf toe?

You ever broken your big toe? No. You go to the doctor, there's nothing. They're just like, yeah, wear sandals. They don't do anything. I fucked it up real bad once, though. And I broke the top of my foot, like here on an elbow. Fuck. Yeah.

They don't do shit. They don't do shit for life. There's nothing you can do. They put in a splint. You ever had an ingrown toenail? Fucking terrible. No punk. Yeah, you ain't lying. I have a lump on one of my feet that still hurts every time I do yoga because I have to lay it flat because it broke and it lifted up. It lifted up too. So every time I have to lay flat on it, that broken ass bone like stings.

They won't do nothing for you for your cocks. You see your what you broke your dick. No, no, no your cocks. It's the smallest bone in your spine. We're all the way at the bottom. Right between the butt cheeks. Like your tailbone? Yeah. I don't even think I have one of those. How about that?

Oh, it's probably gone? I bet I don't even have it. But if you crack it, you just got to feel it. Yeah, the tailbone, they don't do anything for it. It never heals right. Brendan Schaub, how many times do you think you've been kicked in the nuts?

Not many. No? Gonzaga kicked me and that's about it. What about in training? Not a ton. Really? No, man. Which is rare. Well, it's never too late. Let's get the party started. One of the things that I'm amazed in MMA is why more dudes don't wear those tie cups. Those steel tie cups. What do you mean? You can wear a steel cup, which I think is crazy.

It's crazy. You can wear a tie fighter. So they fight, they wear a steel cup. So they have this steel thing that sucks around your balls and your dick and they tie it down with ropes. It goes up your ass like a G string. It's not about comfortable. It's about like protect your fucking dick.

and your balls from Matt. But here's the thing, man. You remember Amir Renovardi? Yeah. Amir Renovardi was training with us at Legends, and one time he mounted me, and he got me in the grapevine and stuck his cup, his metal dick, into my sternum. Oh, here we go.

It was so painful. I was like, dude, this is horrible. But Joe, it's also an advantage too with arm bars. Oh, huge. It's a leverage point. Huge. So with arm bars, it's like having a rock to bend a person's arm off of. And also, it hurts to put it against your dick. That's the dirty truth about arm bars. If you have an arm bar and your nut is in the wrong spot,

Like, if you're pulling some dude's elbow down and you're nuts in the wrong spot, you don't have a cup on, it fucking hurts, dude. It hurts while you're getting an arm bar. So you're saying these dudes, they wear no cups at all? No, no, no. They have to wear cups. They wear the plastic ones. But there's an op... I think the best cup for training is those diamond MMA cups. Those are the shit.

Because they figured out the perfect thing with compression shorts and this really hard plastic, but soft outer area where it settles in to exactly where your legs are. The problem with those is they move around a lot, but these don't. Those diamond ones don't. But the difference of the steel one is the steel one's a fucking weapon. If somebody kicks you in the nuts, you're kicking a chunk of metal. Downside, you're in a thong the entire fight.

I don't mind. I would 100% take that if someone kicks me and they hit iron. Yeah, I feel you. And if you can mount someone and do what Amir did to me, like drive that shit in your chest. I didn't even wear a cup when I trained. I didn't give a fuck. That's crazy. I thought about that when I saw that. I was like, that is like everybody. Kenny Florian used to wear one. Are you allowed to grab that rope? No. That's the other thing. Why does anybody wear shorts?

Why doesn't everybody wear tights? I know, I agree. How many fights is a guy complaining because someone grabbed his shorts? I agree. We shouldn't have fucking shorts. Yep. You know, Anderson Silva figured that shit out a long time ago. Wear tights. So did pro wrestling. Why do you want some shit where someone can grab? Yeah.

Have some shit where no one can grab it. It has to be like a you don't want to look gay thing, right? It has to be that. Let the fucking peace hang, kids. I think you go old school like Vitor Belpo. Vanderlei, get that sumya going. I'd wear a thong. Like Bert Kreischer at the pool. Yeah. Or just have one of those things where it's like all those little frayed pieces so when they grab it you can tell. Yo, you ever see Dennis Alexio fight?

No. Dennis Alexio was a kickboxer who used to fight in a grass skirt. Oh, damn. He was a bad motherfucker. You'd have to be. Dude, he was good. This is the early days. See if you can find, Jamie, find Dennis Alexio KO highlight. He was actually in kickboxer with Jean-Claude Van Damme. He was the brother that died.

When Tong Po killed the brother. And he has to avenge his brother. That was Dennis Alexio. What country is that? Oh, he got paralyzed, right? This is Dennis Alexio. Bro, Dennis Alexio was a fucking beast, dude. Nasty kickboxer. Oh, he's the real deal. Oh, dude, he was nasty. But you gotta see how he fights. He fights with a grass skirt on. Look, he's head kicking dudes with a grass skirt on.

You know how wild that is? Those are those big palm leaf trees. Bro, he was vicious too, man. Vicious KO artist. What was the deal with the grass skirt? He was just a wild man. Just decided to wear a grass skirt. He was pretty good in that movie too. Bro, he was good. He was a good kickboxer though, dude. In the early days when kickboxing was still evolving, they were starting the leg kick. And he was one of the first guys that was the victim of leg kicks. Don the Dragon Wilson fucked him up with leg kicks.

This is that fight right here. This is like, they're showing him beating Don up, but Don beat him up with leg kicks. And ultimately, that was the big factor in this fight. That was just, what we're seeing here is just highlights. But Don was like one of the first of the American kickboxers. Rick Rufus was the first that figured out the value of leg kicks. But this guy, Dennis Alexio, man, imagine getting your ass kicked by a dude in a grass skirt. Yeah.

Damn. Everything changed when the Ties came over to America. When that Tie dude fought Rick Rufus, everything changed. It's like when black guys got into baseball. You know how Babe Ruth thought he was the shit? And then a Cuban guy's like, let me see that thing. Bro, have you ever seen that video? The day kickboxing changed?

I think it's called the most important fight in kickboxing. And it's Rick Rufus versus this Thai guy. Rick Rufus catches him in the beginning, man. He rocks him. He has this dude fucked up. He was hitting him with jumping hook kicks and shit. He had this dude fucked up. But the Thai guy survived. And the Thai guy just kept chopping at his legs.

chopping at his legs. And Americans didn't do leg kicks back. They didn't know what it was. It wasn't our shit, man. They thought it was cheap. We thought it was gay. They thought it was a cheap thing to do. Like, what are you, kicking them in the shin, you little fairy? Yeah. Are we kicking legs now? Yeah, it was an insane fight. Dude, how many things... Fight that changed the world of MMA. And it's true, because this guy that was fighting, Rick Rufus, his brother...

Duke Rufus is one of the greatest MMA coaches of all time. So Duke Rufus, who was also world champion kickboxer, he kind of learned about the kickboxing game from his brother getting lit up by this Thai guy. It changed everybody's perception of what's effective.

And Thai guys were hitting trees and shit. Bro, look at this, man. Look at that. He just starts chopping at those legs. And Rick didn't understand how to protect them. So he just thought he would just keep hitting them with jump spinning back kicks and shit. But now he's on rubber legs, man. And he has those fancy ass pants on. And that Thai dude has been kicking tires since he was six. So this is early. He heard him bad. He heard him bad. Rick Rufus was really good.

man. You have to understand, to us, Rick Rufus was our representative. Flashy, kickboxing style. He hurt him again. Dropped him again. Beaten his ass. USA. But this Thai dude's probably had 200 fucking fights. And he knows how to survive. Showing the promos for the Sphere event right now. Oh, the promos for the Sphere. Most expensive UFC event in history. Anybody who's a fan of striking should watch that fight. Because this fight...

changed our understanding of what's effective in MMA. Because Rick Rufus was as good as it gets for a guy who kicks above the waist. And we realized, oh my God, leg kicking is gigantic. Because you never had a super, super elite above the waist kickboxer fight a Muay Thai guy before that. Change the game. Change the game. Think about all the things that dudes that were good for us that we didn't do because we was gay.

People are like, oh, cardio's gay. I know. Nutrition's gay. Telling your kids you love them is gay. How about Lomachenko? His dad tells him to learn how to dance for two years. He can't box for two years. I want you to learn traditional Ukrainian dance. In Ukraine, you got your kid dancing in tutu. Fucking dancing in shit. Did it work? Yeah. Hell yeah. It's footwork. It's the greatest footwork of all time. There's not even a close second. Four-time gold medalist?

Like, there's great footwork. Like, Parnell Whitaker had great footwork. Floyd Mayweather had great footwork. But nobody had that kind of footwork. His kind of footwork is... No, Lomachenko's a ghost. It's a dance. It's art. It's a dance. He's dancing with you, and he's moving in a way that you can't keep up. You're not going to be able to... You can't move that way. You know, you can't move the way he does. And his dad was right.

I mean, it's so hard to tell a kid to do that, to abandon it. But there's like certain shit. And take two years off. Like judo, right? Like here's the thing. If you learn judo when you're a kid, you learn judo when you're like six years old, and then you get to be like 25, you've been doing judo your whole life. Like you can do things that my body can't move that way. It just can't move that way. Because I never grew up doing that. But if you grow up doing that, you could...

He grew up moving his feet in a way that you can't keep up with. And he's like in front of you. You're throwing a punch. Then he's over here and he's punching you. And you're going to turn towards him. And now he's over here. And you're missing here. And he's popping you with an uppercut. He's behind you. He's pushing you in the ropes. Teeing off on you in a combination. Angles you're not used to. You heard TJ Dillashaw went to his camp to work with him? Yeah. And was like, yeah, he was just like toying around with me at first. And he was like, and I was going pretty hard. And then he turned around and he's like, bro.

The angles the mood like I would swing he's gone Yeah, TJ was like he wanted to get really fucked me up, but he was really happy didn't That that UFC no che and then it's but it's present presented by the Saudis. It's confusing, right? Well, it's um, it's Riyadh season is doing a bunch of different events And so they're a part of this no che UFC because it's such a this is a completely unique experience This is not just the fights

On the screens is going to be the history of Mexican combat sports. So it's this crazy multimedia experience. So they brought in Riyad season. Look, can you watch it from the street?

No, man. I bet on the outside it has something. It's got to have something on the outside. Does it have something on the outside? It's going to have that design of the UFC thing just rotating. You can't get it for free. How many haters are going to be out there going, wow. Live stream in the wall. Yeah, hell no. Maybe they show you the replays of the knockouts or whatever. I'm excited to see what it looks like. It's on Twitter already.

That thing is hard to... Why wouldn't they put whatever they put online, why wouldn't they just put it on the dome too? It takes like 10, 20 million bucks minimum just to make the design to put on the outside. They're only doing it once. It's going to be super special. They're never going back. I think they said they've already spent 19 million dollars.

Dana said this would be a one and done event. They'll never do this again. It's not worth it. By the way, I don't believe that shit for a second. Once you start, it's actually worth it to continue to do things at the Sphere because it costs so much money for the technology and to put your stuff into it. But they don't make enough money. But that's why everybody that's doing it does residencies and not just one-offs because it's literally to transfer your files into their thing. It's

Vast sums of money. Listen to me. If Trump wins, they're going back. If Trump wins, they're going to do one at the Sphere. They're going back. That's going to at least be an annual thing. It's going to be all American card. Sick.

That would be insane. Mexican Independence Week is a brilliant marketing move. Oh, it's great. But you know, Canelo's fighting also in Vegas the same day. That's his weekend. Where's he at? T-Mobile? Yeah. So he's at T-Mobile and they're at the Sphere. Yeah. I can tell you which one. I mean, Canelo does well, but... Damn, they don't even do that much for Mexicans in Texas. The thing about the Canelo fight is it's for sure going to take some of the steam off of the Canelo fight.

I want to see that. Look, I think Canelo is one of the greatest of all time. He's one of my favorites to watch. I want to see that guy fight until he's done. I'd like to see him fight Benavidez. You also get why he's not. This young line, bigger. He's like, what? Pay me 200 mil. You're like, no. He's like, all right. I have nothing to gain from it. Well, he's at this end of his career stage. He wants to collect that big money.

That's the smart thing. Also, the B-Vol fight was a little bit of a wake-up call, I think. Those 175-pounders, especially B-Vol, he's super skillful and younger and less damage and all the above.

But I want to see Canelo versus Crawford, honestly. That's what I want to see. And I know Crawford, he's only won the title at 54, and 68's another giant jump above that. I know. I get it. But I just think that guy's so fucking slick and so good. So talented. And he'll rise to that fight. And knowing that he's going to be fighting a guy like Canelo that's a legend, and this is his chance to put the big stamp on his career. And if he wins that fight...

There's no arguing where he could go. But that's the problem with boxing. They don't do it. Yeah, but I think the Saudis can do that. I think they can make that happen with the right money. It's monopoly money, man. It's fun coupons for those folks. Boxing is the argument against UFC fighters having more power. Yes, correct. Right? Correct. It's weird that way. Yeah. How so?

Because they can pick and choose the fights they want to do. Right, but that's a smart thing to do for your career. That's what I'm saying, but it's not the entertaining thing to do always. It's also not the competitive thing. I think the Saudis are the solution to that. They come along with the cheddar. Like, let's go, Tyson Fury. You want to fight Francis Ngannou's first fight ever? Who the fuck else is going to let you do that? As soon as fighters start getting to the point where they can pick the fights they want, then they...

They pick a bad fight. They also don't fight as often. But you can't say that because that's some guys. Like, Izzy never did that. True. You know, Robert Whitaker doesn't do that. Robert Whitaker will literally fight anybody anytime. He really will. He'll take any fight. They offer him a fight. Oh, I might. A fucking fight. Yeah, but he'll fucking do it. But the caveat with his argument, the one guy who actually made life-changing money, I'm talking like boxing money like Canelo's, McGregor.

He made his money after Floyd. Right, but he made it with a Floyd fight. He made it in boxing. Right, right. But he did come back and he did fight who he wanted to see him fight. He wanted to see him fight Dustin. Khabib. Khabib first. Oh, well, but Khabib don't want to fight him. Well, no, the first fight. Oh, right, right, right. That was the Khabib fight. Yeah, yeah. And then Dustin was after that. Yeah, you're right. The Khabib fight was, that was the big one because that was, we were going to find out who's the best. Right.

Because when you see the Eddie Alvarez fight, you see the cowboy fight, when Conor's on, you know, look, it's hard to say where he's at now with the injury and all that jazz. But I like to look at fighters the same way I like to look at BJ Penn when I talk about his career. I always tell everybody, if you want to take into account all the greatest fighters that have ever lived, you have to look at BJ Penn during a very specific run.

During the Sean Shirk, Joe Daddy Stevenson, BJ Penn was one of the baddest motherfuckers that ever lived during that time period. It's just you can't sustain that. It's just your body, your brain, everything. It's too hard. Fedor in his prime. Unstoppable. Fedor that fought Crow Cop. Fedor that fought Noguera.

Unstoppable. There's a time when a fighter is... Anderson Silva? Yeah, I think you've got to look at him there. That's how you have to look at him. The only way I look at him. The Silva run might be the greatest ever. Anderson Silva's run was magic. I'm just talking about the way he dominated almost everyone. Yes and no. The argument would be Izzy.

Yeah. Izzy's run's pretty fucking impressive. They're very close, but Anderson had more victories in the division. But Anderson also had a thing that he was doing to people where it looked like he was doing magic. He was doing magic on you. Like when he KO'd Vitor. I remember Eddie Bravo and I having a conversation about this. He was like, can you front kick someone in the face? And I was like...

You can, but I don't recommend it. Tough to pull off. I was like, I don't recommend it. I've never done it. I've kicked a lot of people in the face. I never front kicked anybody in the face. Like Spartan kicked in the face? Meanwhile, who teaches him how to do it, allegedly? Steven Seagal. Fuck off. Fuck off.

He's like, I told him to do that kick. And so Anderson not just front kicks a dude in the face, but front kicks one of the greatest. One of the most vicious of all time, Vitor Belfort. One of the most greatest KO artists in the history of the sport. If you look at highlight reels of KOs, Vitor Belfort has starched so many people. And that was TRT Vitor too? No, that was not TRT Vitor. It was not. It was pre-TRT Vitor. He becomes TRT Vitor after that fight. He gets...

Sausage. My favorite. If you look at the Vitor in that fight, he looks like Vitor who played football in college, but now he works at the steel mill. Looks fit. Looks fit. Looks good. But he don't look like the Vitor that fought Luke Rockwell who had muscles on his teeth. Yeah. Knocking dude's eyes out. Bro, he was insane. So confident. Like basically a silverback gorilla.

Yo, I saw Bruce Buffer's brother. What's his name? Michael Buffer? Michael. I saw him do it. He announced the last Crawford fight.

Man, he's like 90. Yeah. He's older. The pop ain't there. And he doesn't say, let's get ready to rumble no more. He doesn't? No, he says something else. It depends on the network. Oh, no. And he gets paid. That's why Bruce Buffer does all the work. He does every fight. Bruce is a different animal, though. Bruce is our guy. Listen to this. Give me some of this. Give me some Bruce. Give me some Bruce here. Let me hear this motherfucker. I'm trying to get kicked off YouTube, dog. Give me some volume. I don't care. I want to hear some volume.

This dude's giving me goosebumps like a hundred times. The best. Stop. Best ever. No. Mark Rager! And when he gets in their face. Alex Perez!

Po-a-ton! And they got that lighting right now. They've made some major advancements lately. What do they do if something happens to him? There's other guys, but nobody does what he does. The fall off is real. Give me a little volume. Give me a little volume. Keep that volume on a little bit in the background. Did I get us in trouble? Oh, yeah. YouTube's real. Real North Korea these days. I want to listen. YouTube's tougher than ever. Bro, Dan Hardy's going hard with tattoos lately. I hope Hooker wins this fight.

Did I say Dan Hardy? I did. By the way, shout out to Dan Hardy. Dan Hardy's got some good breakdowns. The War Room. You ever listen to his breakdowns on YouTube? Very, very intelligent. Lizard Brain? Full Reptile. I love that shit. That's a dope name though, Doug. Lizard Brain might be better. Lizard Brain Media?

Yeah, I like Hooker, man. Bro, Dan Hooker, people have to remember, Dan Hooker went blow for blow with Dustin Poirier in his prime. It was a fight where it was like really a toss-up at the end of it. And Dustin wind up with the decision, but it was a fucking war. This is such a tough matchup. And then he had the Chandler fight where he just got caught. Chandler's a little fucking pit bull trying to make his opening statement, and he made it with a fucking double exclamation point. God, God, did he ever.

But Dan Hooker is really good, dude. Really good. Super skillful. He's quietly won two in a row. Well, he's just fucking super skilled and tough as nails, dude. He broke his arm in the last fight. Didn't say a word. Kept punching the dude with it. Yeah, I talked to him afterwards. Oh, this is just a scratch, mate. He's a beast, man. I was like, what's going on with your arm? Yeah, he's one of my faves.

But Gamrot, his wrestling is top of the food chain. Yeah, it's a shooting matchup for Hooker. Not necessarily, man, because Hooker's knees, they're so – oh, Gamrot's catching him with punches. Hooker's knees are such a danger when you're shooting because they come with no telegraph. And he's got great hip flexibility. Like the way he can throw that front kick, the body's so smooth. He's dangerous everywhere.

The way he moves his legs is very effective, especially with the knees up the middle. Does he fight southpaw, too? He fights both ways. He can switch it up. Hooker went from no tattoos to just a whole ton of tattoos, and I guarantee you he didn't get the tattoo. Oh, there's Gamrock. Gamrock got the takedown. Oh, wow. Amazing fucking balance, man. Amazing balance. Yeah, look. Hooker got his whole legs tattooed now, too. Legs fucking hurt, man.

Okay, let's see if he can get up. He's getting up. Use the cage hook. Well, they knew what was coming, right? If you're taking a fight with a guy like Gamrot, who's like one of the most smothering guys in the division. Cut his eye too, probably with a headbutt, I bet. That is a problem, the headbutts and these closed crinches. Some of them a little on purpose. Look what Khabib started. Bro, you know, I mean, you look at what Khabib does, but there's so many guys like that now. Yeah. Yeah.

That have that style. It's such an effective style. He didn't do it. I thought he was going to wrap his legs up with his legs. This is big, man. Dan Hooker getting up to his feet is very big. Oh, he just landed a right hand. Oh, shit. Dropped him. Oh, that's tight. That's tight. Oh, that's tight, tight.

Oh, good defense. Good defense by Hooker. Very nice. Control posture. Get those butterflies going. Clear your cobwebs. Damn, Gamrot smothering. Smothering. Sometimes a referee would just stop this shit. Yeah, they will. You just keep punching, but they're not landing the refs. Yeah, but then there's the problem if he dumped out his gas tank trying to make it happen, and it didn't happen. That's what you have to hope for, for Hooker. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

It's only three rounds. But Hooker's so tough, man. He's so tough. Tough as they come. Also, he's felt the sting of these disappointing losses. It's just off, right? Yeah. Just off. But...

Still, like, think about Oliveira, man, right? Oliveira was off for a long time and then put it all together. True. I'm, you know, I'm not counting Dan Hooker out, man. Look at this. He's back up to his feet again, son. No, Hooker's as tough as they come. Dude, he's back up to his feet. This is big because Gamron emptied the gas tank trying to stop him. Yep, Hooker needs to go to work and not get caught, man. He looks good, dude. He does.

Ooh. And Gamrot looks like he's slowing down a little bit. Look, he emptied out a lot of energy trying to finish that fight there. If Gamrot's going ba- OH! OH! YES, BABY! Get up! Keep those ass up! Oh shit, he's got a full minute! Let's go, Hooker! Oh, we got clipped. Let's go, Hooker! Hit his ass. Uppercut, dawg. Oh my god, he's really hurt! Yeah! Oh! Come on, Hooker. Uppercut, dawg. Oh, shit. Oh, damn! Don't let him off the hook. That uppercut's there, bro. Don't let him off the hook.

40 seconds. Oh my god. Oh my god. And then he goes, bro, Dan Hooker. Dan Hooker, let's go.

Here we go. There you go. Oh, that's a sloppy, sloppy shot. Oh, don't give him that. Oh, hammer fist, though. Hammer fist. He should keep moving and not do this. No, keep moving. Yeah, keep moving. Don't let him get your leg, man. But he wants to punish him. I think he feels he's fatiguing. Yeah, I think Gamrot wants to rest him. I think he's fatiguing. He's going to turn around and reverse. Hooker realizes it. Back up his feet. Let's go. Ten seconds. Let's go. Come on, Dan Hooker. Come on, Dan Hooker. Let's go. Cut him off. Come on.

A little kick up the middle here. Oh, he just looked at the clock. Five bucks says there's a blonde Chinese lady in Gamrot's corner. Bro, Gamrot, he's tough as shit. He took some shots. He took some shots. Both of them, man. Both of them. Dude, this card's been fucking good. The whole way. That shit looked kind of trash on paper. Did it? I thought this fight was very compelling. This fight's great. What else is, what's the rest of the card from here out?

Well, then you got the... Jamie O'Shaughnessy. Where we at? We got co-main event. Yeah, because it's the third fight. So you got co-main event, main event. This is the co-main? Yes, you got Steve Ersic and Kyra France. Oh, that's the co-main. Right. This is not the co-main. That's right. And then you got Izzy, DDP. Why isn't Jiu-Jitsu in the Olympics? That's a good question. Because breakdancing took their spot? Yeah, breakdancing is more important. Did you see that lady from Australia? They banned it now. It's unbelievable. Because that one lady? Yeah. That's so crazy. So this fucking cunt...

The way she got the members is her husband is the head of the committee. For breakdancing. She started the foundation and then blocked funding from everybody else. Let's go. God, that's crazy. I saw some girl was like, hold up, before you feel bad for going so bad on this lady, and she said that story, she's like, she blocked funding just so she could go. Right. You know it's a problem if the head of the breakdancing committee is a white dude.

Or just your husband. There's white dudes that I know that are really good break dancers. The point is, like, it's an offense. It's an offense to actual break dancers that that lady did that. Because the actual break dancers. I follow stance elements on Instagram. You ever follow those guys? You see, like, the real high-level break dancers. Oh, wild.

It's like athletic art. It's an athletic art form. William Montgomery, world-class breakdancer. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Not the way he hugs. You would have convinced me if I had never hugged him. I totally thought I was going to get at least one of you guys. Probably the side control by Gamrot. This is smooth. I just didn't have time to say anything. Dude, Gamrot. I don't agree 10-9 Gamrot that first round. No, no, I don't think so either. Who said that? But it may be. I can see maybe because he did get him down a bunch of times. But...

I think it was close. It was a close fight, but this is a big move. This is a big move. For Gamrot, real early in the round like this, 350 to go, and he's got side control already. Gamrot can fucking submit you. Yeah. You've got to be real careful. High-level grappler. High-level grappler, super strong on top. When you get a guy like this and he gets on top, that's when you're fucked because they're so good at holding these kind of positions. It's also impossible to get up, especially if you're not near the cage, the cage walk. And he'll go back to half guard if he thinks he's losing you. Yep.

Yeah, this sucks. These guys that are really good at these side control, mount, half guard positions, they're always looking for what you're going to do next, and they're preparing for it. And if they know they can pass your guard, they'll put themselves back in your guard just so they can control you and hold you down and use your leg as an anchor. And then they'll get right back. Uh-oh, we got a choke here. Yeah, this is dangerous. It's easy to pass, too. Oh, he got out of it. You lost it. Good job.

Dan Hooker's tough, man. He's got good defense, but he's got to get the fuck out of here. I like Hooker in Butterfly. He always makes something happen here. Well, what he's got to do is get feet on hips and get some separation. This guy's a better grappler. Oh, he's got some cuts, man. Bad cut. But he's like a great white shark. There he goes. Good scramble. Don't stop there. But don't get reckless. Don't give up your back. But you can't give up your back.

There's a balancing act, right? That's what Corey Sanahagan did a good job. Giving up his back, that's all he trained. He was in jeopardy, but it cost him some rounds. It did, but I liked the way he was going real high. When the dude got his back, he'd go real high up on him and roll. Back up to his feet. This is big. This is big. Two to go. Come on, Hooker. Let's go, Dan Hooker. Oh, nice uppercut by Gamrot. That was sweet. I'm going to piss so bad, but there's no way I'm going right now. Just hang in there. Never. Never.

Oh, left hook to the body. See, so this is a good example, right? That was a lot of control, but not a lot of damage on the ground, right? But you would say he's winning the round, right? For sure. Unless Hooker starts teeing off on him, and then you've got to give it to Hooker. Correct. Because Hooker's doing the act, like right there, nice front kick to the bottom. Plus also the number one thing they score is damage done. Exactly. And there was not a lot of damage on the ground. It was a lot of control. Just control. I think control's like third.

And like look at the aggression too like hookers pushing the action here. He just needs to land something something big Yes, like the first round. Yeah, but 1:30 - goes a lot. It's a lot of time. Oh, yeah. Oh nice shot Oh, we got some time. Oh, oh, oh If he's rolling that's deep. Oh, there we go, baby. Get his neck. Don't do it again though. Don't go card Don't go guard. Don't try to pull guard on this

This is not good. Get out of this. Get out of this shit. Heavy hips, head down. Yeah, get out of this shit. Push his head down. Get the fuck out of this. Don't accept this. Don't let him hang out with you. Don't accept. You've got to not accept this. Because if you got to this point, this would be amazing on the initial shot. Nice elbows. These are big. Yeah, they are. These are big. Make his ass work. Did they get rid of that 12 to 6? They did, right? They did. Is it official 100%? I don't know. Are all commissions honoring it? Oh, it's another nice elbow.

That neck's there, too. Yo, I don't care. That elbow hurt like a motherfucker. Hell yeah. He's trying to fit that elbow in. And he's also threatening the neck, which makes him get back up to his feet. Great defense, dog. He's back up again. What are you telling me? It's exhausting having somebody wait on you like that. It's also exhausting trying to take a guy down, and you can't. That's why a lot of guys don't grapple. There's nothing more exhausting than shooting. Yeah, Gamrot is just bleeding hard.

Dan Hooker's energy. They're both bleeding each other's energy. Because this is an incredibly grueling way to fight. But I'd say more energy was put out on Gamrot's side. Yeah, for sure.

It's also like Dan Hooker is more of a threat on the feet. Big time. It's a threat. He's hurt Gamera. He's hurting Gamera. And these elbows are big, man. These are big. That's why Gamera can't finish the takedown. He has to protect his fucking head. Those are big elbows. This is going to be a great third round. Why do they rotate the refs? Like, are the refs tired?

Well, you don't want one person to referee every fight. It is exhausting. You're moving around. You have to be there. It's kind of almost like... Is it like to keep it fair?

That too, I would think. But you get multiple fights. A guy like Herb Dean, who's probably the best. You get like three. Oh, I'm on the main card. You might see Herb twice. Yeah. But he doesn't. You'll see Mark Goddard. If the main event's heavyweights, you usually see Dean in there or a bigger guy. Yeah, you want a big guy for heavyweights for sure. So is it like ranks? Like Herb won't ever do prelim fights? No, he'll do some prelims. November 1st, 2024. So not yet. Not yet. Still legal. Still legal.

I think you should be able to do everything. Knees on the ground. I think knees on the ground would make it more entertaining so the grapplers get finishes more. Also, you shouldn't just be able to turtle. Crab's gone wild. You're able to sneak weapons in. It's a crazy fight. Yep. You know what I mean? If you can get it in the cage, it's legal. Wow. Just fucking shit a blade out. What if you have glitter and blow it in someone's eyes? It's worse than an eye poke. Fuck.

Blow sand in someone's eyes. You have your blood sport moment. Remember Van Damme? Yeah. Yeah. Here it is. Third round. Come on, Hooker. Yeah, if Hooker could just avoid the takedown and keep this standing and press Gamron. Does Hooker need a finisher? I mean, you might, man. Oh, man. That fucking kick. You throw a body kick early in the round? But look at this. He might be getting out of it. He got out of it. Oh, he got that neck. Got that neck. Yeah, I think Hooker's winning. Got that neck. Oh, now go. Now go.

Back up to your feet. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up.

It's going to be interesting just to see what the scoring is. I think Hooker won both rounds.

Well, he certainly could have. When it comes to damage, I would certainly say that he's done the most damage, except for the first round. I definitely think it's probably 1-1 going to this, and right now it's a toss-up. But it might not be. I mean, it really depends on what they think is effective. Remember, they're also in Australia. Oh, yeah. Hooker's hometown. But who are the judges? Do they bring them in from America? Oh, nice front kick to the body.

Oh, Hooker's turning it on. Yes, sir. 3:30 to go is a long time, man. That's forever. Especially if Gamrod can't secure a clinch. If he's gonna be forced to stand. Oh, and I like how he's going to the body. Dan Hooker's pouring it on here, son. Look out for those knees, too. Remember those knees.

Oh, Hooker's chin is strong. Gamrot just cracked him. What are you saying? Gamrot landed more significant strikes. It's even, but he's thrown less. Yeah, punching on the ground. It's weird what they label significant strike. Yeah, I don't necessarily always agree with what that is. I don't know how they judge that either. They have a little clicker in their hand. How do they do that? Oh, that was a nice hook. Yeah, it was, and he got out. Hooker better turn on here, man. Yeah, Hooker looks like he's fading a little bit.

And there's half the round plus to go. Hopefully he's just recharging. It's really hard to turn on a hooker. Oh, you son of a bitch. Can't help myself. Live odds have switched to hooker as a two-to-one favorite. Oh, interesting. Big underdog. I like that. Wow, interesting. Interesting. I like how you can bet in the middle of the fight. Me too. Fuck it, let's go. That's fun. Where can you do that? Online, right? Yeah.

Using the promo code Tony. Yeah, DraftKings. Promo code Tony at DraftKings.com. Oh, there you go. Is that real? Download the app. Promo code Tony? Yeah. What does someone get from promo code Tony? You bet $5, they'll match up to $250 in bonus bets right now. The crown is yours. What'd you say, Jamie? Not available in Texas. Not available in Texas? In California either. Oh, look at this! He stuffed the takedown again.

Come on, Hooker. Let's go to work. Okay, so this is a perfect example of what I think of when I think of fights. This is the end of the fight. In the end of the fight, Dan Hooker is beating up Gamrot. He's chasing him down. He's walking him down. He's landing the better strikes, and he's the one pressing the action. So in my mind, he's winning this fight. I think this should count for a little more than every other round. So that's why I like Pride Rules.

I feel you. The last round's more important. I feel you. Like, they've duked it out for 15 minutes. Who's winning at the end? I think that counts for something. I don't think it counts for everything. Oh, I like the timing of that. That was nice timing. But if he can survive this, if he can get out of this. He said he's grabbing his gloves. He said something. Mark Goddard's a good one. He's in there right now. Yeah, he's one of the best. Yeah.

Jason Herzog, one of the best. Yeah, I love Jason. Oh, look at this. Look at this. Back up to your feet. Let's go. Let's go, Dan Hooker. Oh, amazing. Back on the neck again. Here we go. Here we go. Ah, fuck. Come on, bro. Oh, left hook. Come on, Danny. Oh, let's go. Let's go, Dan Hooker. Oh, my God. That left hand. Straight left.

Oh, come on. He's got this. Come on. He's got it. Let's go, baby. Let's go. Let's go, dog. This is another problem with the scoring system. If other rounds are 10-9, how is this one 10-9? Right? Because this is a much more dominant round for Hooker. He's got much more damage. He's closer to finishing. Yeah. It's like, how do you... How is it only 10-9? Let's get that neck. Let's get that neck. Let's get those elbows cracking. Oh, he's got to warn him about the 12-6 elbows. Wasn't that...

That seemed more like 11 p.m. to 6 p.m.

There's a dude on Twitter right now that's got three TVs. He's watching this, us, and a football game. That's how you live. Yeah, Hooker's got to win. Come on, Hooker. What a fight. Amazing. Gamrot didn't do enough damage from the top position to win this for me. His eyes fucked up. That was a great fight. His eyes filled with blood.

What a fight. I'm going to take a piss and I won't be surprised by the decision. It's like a little treat when you come back, you know? What do you think happened? I think Hooker wins. Hooker. Yeah. Oh, there's Gamrot catching with his right hand. Oh. Left hook, right hand. The thing that scares me with the judges is I always hate how they tend to...

go against somebody that has cuts over their eyes and blood all over their face. Right, but Hooker had Gamrot rocked and dropped. Totally. There's a big difference. Gamrot did take him down and fucked him up in the first round, but when Hooker was hitting him, it was more significant. There was more significant moments where he was in real trouble. Real trouble. And then also, when Gamrot did shoot the takedowns, his neck was in trouble, he had a bail on things. Gamrot did catch him a few times, but...

overall i think uh... hooker did more damage have you noticed that camera at slept i was like filled with blood site black looks like the end and hookers that i was a judge

Who do you think would win that fight? I thought Hooker was winning the whole time. You're more of a K. Not the first round. Not the first round. No, I mean. The first round, he was getting mauled on the ground. I mean, he did get up and he did land good shots, but the amount of damage he took on the ground was pretty significant. But towards the end of the round, he almost knocked him out. He did hurt him. Yeah. But it's. I'd have to look at it again. Yeah.

I felt like Gamrot, if there's a round that Gamrot clearly won, I felt like it was the first round. But you know what? Now that you're saying that he almost knocked him out. That's the only round that's questionable. I thought he won the next two. I've had a little drink. But again, at the same time, when it comes to the grappling stuff, I don't really know what I'm seeing. I can't say...

What's amazing and what isn't? Well, Hooker definitely threatened him a couple of times with chokes, but Gamrot's takedowns were awesome. But Hooker's defense was awesome, too, and his ability to get back up to his feet. Gamrot is a smothering motherfucker. Here we go. 29-28 Gamrot. Is this on YouTube? 29-28. No, this is on UFC ESPN+. No, I'm talking about us. Yes. Yes.

Dan Hooker. Yeah. Dan Hooker. Hell yeah, Dan. Split decision. Split decision. Well, that makes sense. We were split. Yeah. I thought he won. Oh, yeah. Me too. That's a good win for him, too, because Gamrot's got to be top ten, right? What is Mateus Gamrot? What was he ranked before this fight? I think he was five and Hooker was 11. That's huge. Hooker's one of those guys like Charles Oliveira. I think, you know, he's still...

You've got to factor in all these different things. The experience. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's got some losses, but Danny's got a lot of great wins, too. Oh, man. The stuff we've seen Charles do is just insane. Charles is special. Jesus. Dan Hooker. 29-28? Split decision. Oh, y'all don't do live comments?

What? What are you doing with this stuff? I'm on YouTube. Let's be with the people in the room. Let's not connect with folks outside that have nothing to do with us. You're watching us on YouTube right now? I'm just keeping up with the zeitgeist. Don't do that. Let's have a good time and hang out with the people that are in the room. Not while there's three other people in the room and we're also on YouTube. No.

Were you just watching you on YouTube right now? Yeah, bro, this is ridiculous. You want a mirror or something? Look, guys, we all make it too much of this. Dan Hooker. What a win for Hooker. I was just going on Twitter to see who thought, who agreed with me. You were about to be watching you. Don't, don't, don't. And don't ever let them know you're doing that either. Well, y'all are more famous than me. It doesn't bother me. It doesn't matter. It's like you're dealing with crazy people.

You'll stay as famous as you are if you keep doing that. Also, you're doing it while you just hang out. Yeah, it takes you out of the moment. What was your take on it? What did I miss? I was right. You were wrong. No, I had Hooker. Oh, yeah, Hooker won. I had Hooker win two and three. It was a split decision, though. Yeah, I said split. Yeah, it looked like the other refs were kind of like the same as we were. Split on... Yeah, interesting. That's weird. They gave him the second round. One guy gave...

Gamrot the first round, like I thought, and then two guys gave him to Hooker. Gave it to Hooker the first round. Wow. Because I had Hooker two and three. Yeah. Interesting. I wasn't sure because Brian said a good point. Like, he almost knocked him out at the end of the first round. I was like, yeah, you're right. I didn't think of that. Because he did, you know, he's mauling him at the beginning of the first round. And that'd be the most significant strike in the first round. Yeah. He rocked him. Here it is. Pajalio.

God, Cannondale's fucking terrifying. Terrifying. So is Bahalia, though. He's no punk. He's good. He's fucking good, man. What's the tattoo on his neck say? Free spirit. That's what's tough.

That's like when you're one of those dudes that gets Japanese things tattooed on your arms. Yeah, I'm one of those dudes. He probably doesn't really speak English when he had that done. Yeah, over there. Yeah, exactly. Probably looks cool. Yeah, yeah. Like, oh, it's badass. You don't know the meaning. You have some Brazilian name tattooed across your chest. Pretty dope. Yeah. You know? I think sentences are one of the lamest things to get tattooed.

What is? Just words. How about like deep things on your ribcage? I think that's... How about deep things on your thigh? Every time you take in a shit, you get to read like Declaration of Independence. Unless it's like instructions.

Well, a lot of people get the Bible verses on their ribs, yeah? Oh, yeah, that's super original. Yeah. That's like keep on trucking in the 70s. What the fuck are you doing? Why don't you get a Tasmanian devil with boxing gloves, you unoriginal fuck? That's so sick, dude. I'm going to do that. Bro, when I was in high school, everybody had a Tasmanian devil with boxing gloves on. That's fucking awesome.

Really? Yeah, everyone was so dumb. And they can't fight. It was like the coolest thing to get. Tasmanian devil with boxing gloves. Yeah, that's me, bro. I'm fucking crazy.

Well, remember, barbed wire was the hotness. Oh, my God. That was crazy. Barbed wire. Bro, how many dudes got that shit on their ankles and deeply regret it? Deeply. Like the bedazzled affliction shirts. Yeah, but when you're a dude and you got some shit around the ankle, there's something about it. Unless you're Samoan. I get it. Like beads. You know, Polynesian. You got beads in your ankle. I'm cool with that. But if you're a regular dude...

It has to be a big piece if you're going to do it. Like hooker's piece? Yes. Fine. No problem at all. Just around the ankle? Yeah. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah, you gay, dog. Get the fuck out of here. Especially if you got put to sleep to get an ankle tattoo. Oh my God. That's it. Is it over? Oh yeah. I got put to sleep to get this fucking chain link fence around my ankle. Is it over? Yeah.

Yeah, man, you're up for five minutes. Yeah. Doctor's like, I'm pretty sure I could fuck this guy right now. That's so dangerous to do that, to get tattooed that way. Why? Because that's how people die. It also- It doesn't happen a lot, but it happens enough that it can happen. It's so bad for your body. Yeah. Also, maybe tattooing's not for you if you have to be under anesthesia. You gotta earn that shit. Remember, it's not your thing. Yeah. Remember, it's not your thing. It's not for everybody. Slap fight promo. Everyone pay attention. Let's go.

Let's go. That seems like I wouldn't advise any of this. It literally seems like almost like a sketch. I do want to go to one because everybody, I'm telling you, like legit people that I respect tell me, like, dude, I know, whatever. Like, I'm telling you, it's so fun when you're in person. Sure. If there was car accidents at the fucking parking lot, you'd go out and watch. Does this have like a feeder thing, like Ultimate Slapper or whatever? Absolutely.

You know what I'm talking about? Where, like, they go find these guys? They did! Yeah? That's how it got started. Yeah, they did. They all lived in a house and were slapping each other. You guys are saying this like it's trivial. This is a real sport. You should shut the fuck up. Okay, this is sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. They do drug testing. Yeah, which is ridiculous. I want my slappers on meth. They do drug testing? Yes, I want them all on the same shit that Hitler was on when he went across Poland.

Chip with the real stuff. Let's go. I want messed up dudes slapping their fucking faces off. I don't want dudes on painkillers. I want dudes just jacked to the tits on amphetamines. There's definitely not a weight limit to the heavyweight class in this, right? That's a good question. Yeah, I bet there's not. Those guys look pretty big, right? But they might be small and big, you know? Mm-hmm.

It's a little unprofessional. It's like bigger class. Why don't you shut the fuck up? These people are athletes. I just can't take here while you disrespect, which is a part of the parent company that I'm employed by. What if you're really like that? Like a shill for them? Just like, hey, you shut the fuck up, man. No, Joe, you know why? It's because of this right here. If I go...

Like you talk a shit to some guy and I go, hey, hey, hey, you know who you're talking to? That's the heavyweight champion. You go, oh, what? They go slapping. Yeah, but dude, if those guys, if they're really practicing that one move, it's like Bruce Lee said. And they slapping for your girl? Don't be a man. Be aware of a man. Don't fear a man who has 10,000 techniques. Fear a man who's practiced one kick 10,000 times. They've practiced slapping 10,000. They were slapped up. That's how you go to sleep in front of your lady? From a slap?

Baby, your fucking eyeball fell out. Are they allowed to backhand? No. Wow. Is this guy just going to sit here and take it? He's the current champ right here. Bro, look how jacked that guy is. And he's letting this guy do it to him in the gym? 266 plus super heavyweight. Bro, in the gym. He just got brain damage for zero reason in the gym. Oh, that's Larry Wheels.

420. Bro, that's crazy. Man. Hit him right on the... Why would you... I wish I was friends with that dude. I would say don't do that. Don't ever do that. That's a free brain damage. Oh, I'd say that to both of them. Oh, there's a woman? Oh, you haven't seen the woman? Oh, bro. Paige Van Zant just did it. Whoa. Now I'm down to watch that. Paige Van Zant just... You think you are? No. You think you are? For real? Heard some lady just slapped each other in the face. He said he's going to do it?

Because I imagine you get a big girl and she pulls her titties this way first and when they go to bounce back, she fucking follows behind it. Oh, momentum. Yeah, a lot of torque. Yeah, kind of like the way Butterbean uses his stomach. Mm-hmm.

Maybe add like a... Oh, like a little... Extra little something. Like you're drifting. It's hard to watch, though. Dude, I don't like... Especially when they're pretty. I don't like... I don't call me sexist. The bare knuckle fights for chicks, I'm like, yikes, don't hurt your face. Don't hurt your face. No.

It just means more. When a guy has his face cut up, he's just a badass. You can still find a lady. Cheek fights. Girls don't get upset at that. Where'd you get that? Fighting? No, they're attracted to it. They don't get mad. But a girl who's been like, where'd you get those cuts? Bare knuckle fighting. I mean, maybe you're cool.

Maybe cool, but you might be out of your fucking mind. That's not normal behavior for the double X chromosomes. Also, we don't look at that and go, that's a mother. But you know what? It's a special kind of dude, though, that's like, you know what? I love a bitch with cauliflower. I like a chick with a forehead scar. Just a struggle. A chick who just got sliced with some elbow. Yeah.

And that's a guy who probably has a history of domestic violence. Or meth. Yes. Ran into Joanna at that last UFC. She is just looking better than ever. Oh, we're in love. We all have separate lives. Look at how he says that with his legs crossed in a way I've never done in my whole life. I can't even get my legs to do that. Yeah, all right. Who was that guy on Family Feud that was gay as fuck? Remember that dude?

What? With the host? No, not family food. Hollywood Squares. There was the one guy in Hollywood Squares. Oh, with the confetti? Yeah. Rick Taylor. What was his name? Rick Taylor, yeah. There he is. That's my mentor. This is Tony. Oh, yeah, we're in love. Yeah, we're in love. We love each other.

Who's gonna tell him he's gay? There he is. Oh, come on. You need that mustache for your life, son. I just start throwing confetti out of my pocket. No. That's what he's done, Jackass. Stop making fun of me. Stop making fun of me. But Tony, do you think... Because you actually do got a thing for her. We have a thing for each other. But do you think you could date a chick that could whoop your ass?

I thought about this many times. I like the danger. I like the idea. You're never going to be on top. You know that, right? Maybe she went through my phone. Never going to be on top. She's going to be riding dick and say, Tony, I can kill you. You know I can kill you, Tony. And she's ready to come out. After you guys get married, I'm an ordained minister. Can I do your marriage? Yes. And you know you can't break out of that leg lock.

Yeah, you're not breaking out of shit. Nice. Yeah, and by the way, when you're supposed to put the garbage out, put the fucking garbage out. Yeah. Head kick. No lip. No fucking I'm trying to watch TV. Shut the fuck up and put the garbage out. Does she have a man? Is there a competition? Even if she does, shut the fuck up. Tony Hinchcliffe is her man. That's her soulmate. We've known this for a long time. We've known this. If you keep talking to me like that, I'm going to call Rose Norman Yunus over here. Oh. What do you mean? She beat her. Oh. I see.

That's the only person that can have your back. That Zhang Wei-Li fight, that was the craziest one. She got that giant hematoma on her forehead. That was nuts. That fight was such a war. Everybody, that should be mandatory watching every six months for any UFC fan because you kind of forget. I rewatched it the other day. It was on one of the hotels I was staying at. Oh, my God. It's crazy. I mean, crazy the whole fucking time. Have you seen Little Nikki when...

Adam Sandler movie? Adam Sandler movie. It's the only one I haven't seen. Fuck. But Kevin Nealon gets tits on his head. That's what she looked like. It's almost identical. Yeah, she had a giant hematoma on her head. It's like a big titty. You know another crazy war is the Yan Xiaonan fight. When Zhang Weili put her to sleep and she wakes up at the end of the round. And they let her put her in the corner. And she's like, what happened? Yeah.

I was making fun of it and missed the entire fight. She went to sleep. She went to sleep. She went to sleep and still fought five fucking... How many rounds? Five rounds. Did she get stopped at the end? Maybe late in the fourth or fifth, but it went well. God, what a war, bro. I know. I was making fun of it. I wasn't paying attention. When people don't like women's MMA, I'll let them watch those two fights. If you watch those two fights, you tell me you don't like women's MMA. No, it's just as good. At the highest levels, calm down. I think women's MMA is the only...

MMA is the only sport where the women's side is just as entertaining. Bro, there's some women out there. Except maybe tennis. You could throw tennis up there. But other than that... Make sure you put your ballot in for Kamala Harris, too. You disagree? Yes. Well, listen. There's some women that are super... A competition level? Valentina Shevchenko, when she's in her prime, when she head kicked Jessica Ai, that's as good a head kick you're ever going to see in the sport.

Jessica I goes flatline. But let me ask you this. Falls back. So when Izzy knocked out Robert Whitaker when we were talking about talent, you said she knocked out Jessica I. Right. It's not the same level of talent in the sport overall. They're going to get there. But when...

But when Amanda Nunes knocked out Cyborg, it was one of the most exciting moments in MMA, period. We were going crazy. We were like, wow. And don't forget when Ronda Rousey, the Ronda Rousey run, the end of that run when she got knocked out. Bro, when she got head kicked by Holly Holm, that was crazy.

But that wouldn't be considered high level, right? Because Ronda's striking compared to men's would be like eighth graders. Yeah, but even finishes. Even finishes. I'm just talking about entertaining. Oh, that's two different things. It's the same thing when Rose won the title. How about when Misha Tate...

strangled Holly Holm to win the title. Amazing. That was crazy, too. Amazing. Put her to sleep while Holly Holm's throwing punches while she's getting choked unconscious. Wow. Crazy. You're not going to argue it. I'm not saying it's not entertaining. It's not the same level. It's not the same level. That's all I'm arguing. No. There's no way. They're still in leather helmets. Right, right, right. They're so new. Right, right, right. They're going to get there, but they're still in leather helmets. But they're leaps and bounds from when Ronda debuted. Oh.

Leaps and bounds. No, they're moving faster than the men. They're moving faster than the men. Because they started. I mean, Amanda Nunez, I mean, she's kind of gone now, right? No, she might come back. She's talking about coming back with Kayla. But she can headline a card. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what I'm saying is compare that to any other sport. Like, are you... No one... The women's Olympic basketball team had the least...

Because they didn't have Kaitlyn Clark on it. Right, right. But that's what I'm saying. It's not... Oh, no. As far as women's sports, UFC dominates. It's not even close. It's also violence, man. Violence is more compelling than any other sport. The reason why football is so exciting is because of violence. It's a sport. It's a game. But there's something crazy about watching guys tackle each other. But it's also because there's nothing missing.

In the UFC, every single thing I can see in a man's fight, I can see in a woman's fight. They don't hold it back. They don't change the rules. They win by KO. They win by submission. This fucking cat is good. He is fucking good. Super slick. Tall for 125. Tall as fuck. Steve Erickson. But manages to cut the weight really well because there's no fucking chance that guy weighs 125. You can tell when he's walking down the street, he looks like a nerd.

Super nerd. Computer programmer. He's probably about $1.42 right now. Yeah, at least. Something like that. Especially that height, right? But man, he's so slick and so skillful. You know, he doesn't have the same type of moves as Sanhagen, but he kind of reminds me of like precision. And kind of good at everything. Yep, kind of good at everything. And KOs guys with sharp shots. This dude scares the fuck out of me.

He's a beast. And he comes from that same camp as Izzy and Volkanovski. That city kickboxing camp is a nasty camp, man. Those guys are good. Yeah, bro. When your last name is a different country, different where you from. Bro, and that place is like...

Kai Carafrance. That place is just like a lion's den. When you have lion's dens like that, like the original lion's den, the Kent Shamrock lion's den. Fuck yeah. Hammer House. Yeah, Hammer House. Yeah, Iron Sharpens Iron, man. When you've got a bunch of killers together all in one room. It's just hard to keep them together. Hard to keep them together. Especially when you guys get successful and famous.

And it's also guys just can only keep up that thing they do for so long, man. You can only keep up that thing you do for so long. MMA is rare because, yeah, you can only keep up for, what do you think, four years at your pinnacle? Depends, but I'm saying in general, it's like four, like where you're at your pinnacle, like your top peak. No one can keep it up forever. It's that weird strip of mat down the middle. Are those lines? It looks like a separation. Yeah, that's where it meets. It's sewed together. They always have that.

Just don't why you worried about that when two men are fighting. I've just never seen that but what about that design? Looks like there's actual openings there. I'm gonna call you always That's that Matt's usually I'm with you on this it looks like a mat usually It's exactly what it looks like always no it looks you can see that there's it's a little more obvious Yeah, it's sticking out a little more guys aren't somebody's gonna get fired because of Tony Hinchcliffe. He's roasting the mat designer see

Yeah, you got a good point. There's some creases. There's spaces. Let's look at the fight, though. Yeah, for sure.

Kyle France had some neurological problems after his last fight. Really? Yeah. What do you mean, neurological? Well, he got tested, and he was having some neurological issues, and they told him to take quite a bit of time off of striking and contact. More guys need to take time off, though. I know it's not the cool thing. Guys are chomping at the bit, and that's why you have managers. But the problem with that, too, is I love Izzy taking time off, and he's one of the greatest ever, if not the greatest.

But to your point, how you're saying it's a short window, and they go, oh, but you've got to rest. It's like, I get that, but I'm 28, 29, fighting the 185-pound division. Oh.

So the longer I take off, the less fights I'm going to get. Right. So it's a weird thing, man. It's a balancing act, but you've got to have people around you that are doing the actual work in terms of testing you, and they did that with him. They did neurological tests, and it was an unfavorable result. And then later on he did it, and he had a much better result. So he was happy that he did it. He took the time off.

You know, you just, you got to recover. You get knocked in the head a bunch of times. You got to recover. Especially at the lighter weights. You got more time. Well, I mean, I think in all weights, man. I mean, I think about what happened with Volkanovski, right? If he doesn't take that fight with Izzy on short notice, which, excuse me, with Islam on short notice, which I think was crazy to begin with. When you're dealing with the best pound for pound fighter on earth, right?

and you fight him in 10 days' notice. There's no way. Wasn't it like eight days? Something crazy. But think how fast Volkanovski went to pound for pound, basically number one. We're all talking about him. Yep. And then a week later, it's like, oh, he's the worst, right? Well, a week later, he gets caught, but then he fights Ilya Toporia and gets starched again. Yep. Too quick, in my opinion. Real quick after a head kick knockout. So apparently he didn't get to train as much because...

He had to pass those neurological tests before he could even start. Right. No contact, but you can hit the bag. You could do a bunch of stuff. You can hit mitts. You can...

You can do a bunch of stuff. You work on technique and get better. It's just you can't do anything that hurts your head. And believe it or not, even hitting the bag can hurt your head. Yes. Like if you've been concussed, you really shouldn't be hitting the bag. You shouldn't be doing nothing. Because every time you're hitting something, you're jarring your body. Bang. Bang. And he's saying like he, and that's part of what it tells him, like you just have to spell stuff and read stuff. Yeah. And imagine struggling. Oh, I'd fail that shit right now. Boo!

Bro, it's, you know, it's hard to know because different people have a different result. Some people can get hit in the head and they're fine. Like Mark Hunt, like,

like that dude is fine but it's also hard to know like yeah Mark has a chin but if you gave that test to him when he was 21 right and then give him a test when he's 30 after fighting K1 and pride and yeah good point and then some people get hit in the head they die yep have you ever heard of them pulling a judge off the card during the fight no no it happened just a little bit no way for what scorecard the Taito Avaza fight

Oh, because he gave it... All three rounds tied to Ivas has been relieved of his duties for the rest of the night. Wow. They said Howie hit the showers. Oh, yeah. I've never seen that happen before. Oh, look, look. We're missing some shit, man. Ersig's in trouble. Kaikara Francis caught him. Oh!

Oh, he hit him again. Oh, R6 in big trouble. That's it. Oh, wow. What a fucking comeback. Oh, my goodness. And we were like paying attention to Taito Iwasa. Your brain's 100%, sir. Damn. Huge win. That's a great result of taking time off, letting yourself heal, get back to 100%. Now what do you think AZ's going to do? Now you have this giant win. Well, hopefully we'll find out real soon. But think about this. Catapult him. Your teammate just won. He had time off. Yeah.

By the way, you think Drake is duplicy? He gives a fuck about this? He doesn't care. No. He's a savage. This is a big win for Kai Karl-Franf. That's huge. Massive, bro. Because they're both coming off losses. So who fired the judge?

Let's take a second to soak in the fact that that judge did give all three to. Yeah. Oh, that left hook's crazy. We missed all this. Oh my God. We missed all this. Good for Kycare France. Bro, that's big. Dana doesn't have any control over commission. Look at this. Watch this left hook. Bang, son. Look at those legs stiffen up. That's beautiful.

Well, the commission probably thought it was an egregious scorecard because we saw Jairzinho teeing off on him on one round. 30-27? They're probably like, hey, Homer, get the fuck out of here. I mean, there wasn't a round that he won. That's a big win, man. Massive, bro, because they're both coming off losses. Now think of Steve Ersik. You're on top of the world, right? Yeah. Razor sharp decision. Now you're down two. And now you got KO'd. Half your pay.

But this is huge for Kai Karefrance because Kai Karefrance now becomes the most compelling guy for the featherweight title other than Brandon Marino, who's already fought Pantoja twice. It's tough. And then remember that other homeboy. Three times? Did he fight him three times? Three times. But then remember there's not a ton of contenders. That's how Steve Versa got in there. Right. Because they let homeboy go because he's difficult to deal with. Yeah, Makayev. Yeah. Think about that. That dude. It must have been super difficult. So difficult he's fucking undefeated. Yeah.

21-0? Undefeated and tough as shit. Remember when he got leg locked and he did not tap? Bro, his knee bar was horrific. I was like, he might ruin his career. I wish they would change this, too. The guy knows he lost. Let him leave. No, no, no. Shut up. Nah, you gotta take this in. Stay put. And then you better... Look, it's killing him. Look at that. And then clap. Clap. You gotta clap. There he is. That's how men do it. You gotta clap. Good job, bro. You got me. You got me. Did that stadium look small? No. It doesn't go back deep. It doesn't go back deep.

The what? Just a weird view of it. That's a big place. That's not the same place like Ronda and Holly. No, they're in Perth. They're in Perth. So, I mean, if I had to guess, it looks like 10,000. Because the biggest gate. Well, Sydney is huge. That's a big place. That's where Holly and Ronda set the record. Melbourne is huge. I think Izzy set the record, too. Yeah, Melbourne is where they set the record. Etihad, right? Etihad, that's big. But I'm telling you, man, the Japanese were doing it way bigger. Where's that? It's big. It's 15,000 seats. Where they're at right now? Yeah.

Right. But that's like less than T-Mobile. The real big ones are the Japanese. What they did in Pride. They had 80,000. 80,000. Bro, they had 80,000 people. Every time. Yes. Yes. Multiple events in Japan. They're great audience members. They know everything that's going on. They're not as wild. When someone passes the guard, they all applaud. Yeah. They like technique. They're tuned in. They're tuned in.

They're real quiet while the fights are going on. It's crazy. It feels weird. It feels different. They're just really watching and appreciative. Like, martial arts is such a deep history in Japan. Like respect. Have they ever done China? Oh, yeah. No, I mean, they definitely have. Beijing. But, yeah, they've done, didn't they? Bisping, Gasslam in Beijing, right? Yeah. Where else? At least two or three events. Macau, too. What does Macau count? What is Macau?

Does that count as its own country? No, that would be considered China right? That would count as a district. But there's like they have casinos over there. They say they make Vegas look like like fucking Reno. God, I bet those slot machines bro. I heard there's casinos over there in Asia are just bonkers. Just bananas. What is this one? Is that Macau? Look at that. That's China right? Yeah. Is it in China?

So I know they did a UFC there, and my friends that went and worked it, they were like, bro, this fucking, it makes Vegas look like a joke, look like barstow. I have no desire to go there. Well, if you lived over there, you spoke Chinese, probably a good move. If you're really into gambling. I'm going to skip. They had to change the MGM, the design of the MGM, because they fucked up, and they had a mouth where it was like the lion's mouth.

And the people were coming through the lion's mouth. And the Chinese people were like, are you out of your fucking mind? You know what kind of bad luck this is? Oh, really? To walk through the lion's mouth. This is so stupid. So they had to redesign the whole thing. That's how much business they bring. Of course. Holy fuck. Yes. See if you can find that. Oh, let's go. Stylebender. Yeah, baby. I guarantee you'd win on my podcast. I really need to win. What's that? You have unbooked?

Hold on a second. What, Jamie? Attack video? What attack video? No, no, no. You weren't listening. When the MGM was first constructed, you had to go through a lion's mouth to get into the building and they had to rebuild it. What is this science fiction movie? What is this shit? This looks good. Nah, I'm out.

You're out already? Bullshit, yeah. Everything's crap. Slingshot? That looks good. Nah, I'm out. I'm out. What the fuck is wrong with you? He's going out into space. Nah, bro. In theaters. That's it right there. So that was the original thing.

It says this myth's being busted. No, it's not true. It's not true? Is it fake? What's the headline? According to pervasive Las Vegas myth, the mouth of the MGM lion served as the casino's hotel entrance. Even the Pulitzer Prize-winning Las Vegas Sun described the original MGM grand entrance in March 2001 as a huge lion head with its wide-open mouth serving as its doorway. As you see from the photo below, this just wasn't true.

Okay, so it's not going through the mouth, but it's going like into the line. It looks like it's the lion's mouth. Yeah, it's going under its crotch. But they did change it. Okay, it's been widely reported that many Chinese gamblers believe that traveling anywhere through the representation of a lion's mouth invites bad luck. Not nearly as much bad luck as traveling through an actual lion's mouth presumably, what does that mean? Presumably, but enough? Okay. It was

It was literally that it wasn't literally true that they entered through the lion's mouth. Former MGM Mirage spokesman Alan Feldman told Casino.org, but many customers believed it to have the same negative vibes and refused to use that entrance. Yeah, so it's true. Yeah, it is true. They went around the door.

But also they're saying, where is it? There's other shit. Like the Rio and Encore Casino hotels are entirely missing floors 40 through 49. The number four is considered unlucky because it sounds like a Chinese or Japanese words for death. Jesus. God, dog. Yeah, there was like 75. But they're not missing the fourth floor.

there's other certain floors that they didn't have i forget what it was but meanwhile that's like the 13th floor but the 13th it's it's like shooter jennings had a song about it it's like you know what floor you're on you know the 14th floor

The point is, in Asian cultures, gambling is huge. It's like why the best pool players come from the Philippines. They gamble. It's all about gambling over there. And so because these guys are gambling for such intense amounts of money. A lot of their luck and stuff is built into their culture. Their New Year's. They got lucky fish. They wish that you have more money. Luck is huge.

Luck is huge. It's a big deal. And gambling's a big deal. It's a big part of the culture. So if you have something that doesn't appeal to Asians and it's a gambling venue... You're going to switch that shit up. You're going to switch that shit up quick. You don't want them going over the Tropicana or wherever the fuck they're going to go. In the world of pool, Asians are some of the biggest gamblers ever.

And that's why they're so good at pool. Yeah, because they're playing for a lot of money, so they get really good at it. It's like there's consequences and there's value in being really good. What else are they good at? Ping pong. Huge ping pong players. I mean, go to the Beijing Olympics. Yeah.

Yeah. Didn't the Chinese basketball team beat the American basketball team? Absolutely not, sir. Did I make that up? Yeah. What the fuck? How dare you? How fucking dare you? Didn't they? You know what's funny? When American team beat the Chinese math team, do you know that? Really? Yeah. You want to see what the American players look like?

Chinese. Chinese-Americans. See if you can find the photo of the American team that won the math competition. It's like that in esports, too. Like, all-out gamers and shit. Is it a meme? Is it fake? I don't know that it's fake, but it's definitely a shitpost.

I love a good shit post. USA Matthew Lou beats China for the first time in 20 years. Bro, that's legit. They won. Is that real? I don't know. Shut up, you fucking communist. Of course it's real.

America! Fuck yeah! Coming to save the motherfucker day, yeah! I don't know about this one. Which one? Just close the laptop. I think we have plenty of information to form a conclusion. True! Look! There it goes. Oh, goddammit. Regular Americans. This is bullshit. But this is a different year!

This is before they brought in the A-team. Yeah, we're second place. They squeaked by that year. It's just a meme. With regular Americans, they just squeaked by. That's hilarious. It's a meme. I wonder how big of a star Zhang Weili is over there. She must be huge. Huge. You'd assume, right? First UFC Chinese champion. Yeah, one thing I was going to say. Dominant. They watched her twerk her little flapjacks. Well, that's why that Yan Xiaonan fight was so big. Two Chinese...

Citizens fighting for the world title. And two of the best of the best. And a really fucking good fight. Good fight. How many people viewed in China, I wonder? Oh, my God. It must have been off the charts. So many people. Must have been off the charts. Who's that huge? It was a huge Chinese boxer that was like hot and cold and hot and cold. Right, right, right, right. What was that guy's name? He's huge. And he wanted to fight Joshua because he beat him in amateurs. Wow.

But he was just, I don't know what was wrong. You're not talking about the guy who knocked out Deontay Wilder. Yes. Yes. He just knocked out Deontay, and he's 40. Yeah. Dude, it's 40. Yeah, ain't nobody trying to see that. Yeah, with Deontay, man, it's like. It's like you just don't always get him at 100%. Oh, my God. Here we go. Well, I just feel like with Deontay, it's like there's only so many times you can get KO'd.

You know, so many times. He did ayahuasca and got all friendly, though. That's a problem. That's a problem. Connection spirit world. Tell us what Twitter thinks about all this, Brian. Hey, hey, I'm ADHD. I need constant stimulation. This is a fight. You're about to see one of the craziest fights ever in the middleweight division. I'm so, I'm so grateful. Arguably the greatest of all time other than Anderson Silva. Yeah. Coming back.

Well, you know, they're different eras. It's always weird to argue that, right? Because, again, it's completely different. But also, one tested positive for PEDs, one didn't. That's not fair. That's why I always bring up BJ Penn. Whenever anybody talks about the greatest, I always bring up BJ Penn. I was there, dude. I was there when BJ was storming the castle. Real deal. When he knocked out Sean Shirk, I was like, who's beating this guy? Good luck. Who's beating that guy?

But also, you could also argue Iggy is he's fighting better competition. You could also argue that if Demetrius Mighty Mouse Johnson had anybody near his class in his division, like, he's the best. Yes. You know, the only problem with Mighty Mouse is that, like, skill-wise, he's the greatest representation of martial arts I've ever seen. He's the most complete in all areas. In all areas. And because he's not burdened by gravity...

The way he can move, the things that he can do. Mighty Mouse. And then you know who always fucks up the argument? Who? GSP. GSP was awesome too. Because you've got to throw him in the hat and he's... 100%. You also have to throw Jon Jones in the hat. Oh, yeah. Jon Jones is, you know... This is why Jon Jones trumps all of them. Because Jon Jones is doing that light heavyweight and heavyweight where the level of air is so small. So small. Where Mighty Mouse can zig when he should have zagged and gets hit and he can still win the fight. Jon can't.

He's finding that much tougher. Dude, I watch Mighty Mouse go from a suplex to an arm bar. Oh, yeah. Yeah, nobody can do that. No one can do it. No one can do that. No. He's 125 pounds. I was going to say, it's a massive advantage of that weight division. Yeah, it's a massive advantage you can move that fast. But, you know, Jon Jones did have some split decision victories. And a bullshit. You know, the Tiago Silva fight. But no real losses. Or the Tiago Santos fight.

No real losses. Dominic Reyes. No, Dominic Reyes, close. Close to a loss. That one's close. It was close. I mean, Dominic was, I think John had lost a lot of motivation during that time. He's fighting nobody. And it's not no disrespect to them, but you go from fighting Chael, Vitor, Machida. D.C. D.C. When John's at his best is like when John fought D.C., especially the second time. That's John at his best because there's a bit of rivalry. They hate each other. You know what? That was also D.C. at his best. Yeah.

Yeah, well, definitely the first fight. The second fight, man, that head kick. John just, he fucking knew it was coming, too. He knew DC had that tendency. They actually even talked about it in the press conference. They talked about it. He said, you think I'm going to lean to the right and you're going to head kick me? And he did it. And DC got taken down, but also remember that first fight, John tested hot.

He definitely did. Damn, I keep forgetting that. Before I spoil it, are you waiting to see how Craig Jones did tonight? Yeah, how'd he do? He won. He choked her out? Yeah. Did he get her back? Yeah. It's a video. Did he get her back? Yeah. Gabby Garcia, I mean, he did it gently. He was nice to her. Why she got... Because Gabby Garcia weighs like 240 pounds. Why is this happening? Because they made this challenge match. She's tappin'.

Because Gabby Garcia is a multiple-time world champion, and she's like 240 pounds. But damn, she didn't even get the brain stuck out, bitch. What you doing? Well, you know, she wants to look good. Good for Craig. Like, that's more important than... I could have told you...

If there was betting on that fight, I would have bet everything I've ever earned in my life. I would have leveraged it. I would have called banks. I would have called my business manager and said, what else can we sell? What else can we sell? What are the odds? How much money? This is free money. Unless he breaks his neck. She knew, too, that she was going to lose.

Everybody knew. There's no way. Craig Jones is the second best grappler in the world. He's a spectacle. He's a phenom. The only reason why he's not number one is Gordon Ryan. If you didn't have this dude who's doing juice 365 days a year, training every fucking day, studying like a savant. Super smart.

Super smart, freakishly strong, technique off the charts, the best ever. If that guy doesn't exist, Craig Jones is number one. When I finally got to watch him live, I was like, I get it. Bro, Gordon is a special athlete, man. And there's a kind of mind that that guy has that's a one in ten guy.

10 lifetimes. You see it in other, like Michael Jordan, right? You've seen Kobe. He reminds me a lot of Magnus Carlsen. You have to be insane. You have to be insane to be that good. You have to be insane. There's like five dudes that have that level of insane dedication amongst all sports in the world. Lance Armstrong. The second dude is Donner.

The second insane motherfucker is his coach. He always says Donahue is the cheat code. He is, man. He's a character in a movie. He wears a rash guard at bars. He's a character in a movie. He's literally like Mr. Miyagi. You see him sitting on the side in his fucking gi. But it's just his background. The guy was a professor of philosophy at Columbia.

Then gets in love with jiu-jitsu when he's working as a bouncer and then decides to only teach jiu-jitsu and sleeps on the mat And it's training every day list only like one for doesn't give a fuck about anything other than jiu-jitsu your trends doesn't give a fuck about anything other than being effective and Before he was all fucked up before his knee was destroyed and he got to get a hip replacement He's all banged up man like real bad from injuries and a lot of us from rugby but

before he was banged up totally, he was a nightmare. Everybody I know that rolled with him when he was younger, like, dude, his technique was so good, it was terrifying.

He just had a bad knee. His knee was destroyed from rugby. Things happen for a reason, though. He goes on to become this once-in-a-lifetime coach. He would have been a once-in-a-lifetime fighter, too. I mean, he's a real freak. But the fact that he can channel that kind of mindset of being an elite grappler with a genius mind into another genius like Gordon, who's also just as dedicated as him. And physically gifted. But he...

says he goes I'm not very athletic he says it's all just technique and control but that's the gamble right how do you know that that's the person you don't well you know when he's a kid yes because like he was he was obsessed by the time he was like a kid he's out like you know and then by the time he gets you know he trained with Tom DeBlas and then by the time he gets to John Donahue and Henzo school in New York he's already pretty good you know and then those guys in that Henzo's

academy in New York, there were so many high-level guys. Eddie Wolverine. There's some child hanging around their gym that's going to be a fucking... Oh, guarantee you, there's murderers there right now. Gary Tonin. I mean, that whole gym was so high-level. And then, of course, Henzo. Just Henzo himself. His background. He's direct Gracie lineage. I don't like that. Did you catch that? No, what'd he do? He handed him a monster energy can over the

Okay, he took a little sip. Yeah, that's filled with water. It's bullshit. It's just it's for the sponsor. Oh, okay. I thought it was cheating. No, no, no. Damn, dog, you're throwing them away already. Listen, by the way, that ain't going to help you. There's not a fuck. You could drink all the monsters you want and fight in Israel. No, I'm saying like there's not really monsters in the game. There's something else in the game. It's water. No, no, no. It's all checked. All that stuff is checked. Yeah. It's just for their sponsorships.

And you see after the fight, a lot of times they have empty cans and they pretend they're drinking. You've got to stay off Twitter, dog. You've got to stay off Twitter. You've got to stay off Twitter. He's like, this is a conspiracy. Energy drink. I'm going to see what Alex Jones has to say about this. DDP's fucked, man. That's a monster in that can. Look at that jacket. I want a jacket like that. That's the next Kill Tony I'm buying a jacket like that. How many does he have? A thousand. Sponsored. There's a thousand of them. He puts...

So much heart and energy and pride into each one of these things. I mean, it is so cool. In the last one, he had Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler embroidered, like sewed, like their images inside of the lining of his jacket. Yeah. But the fight got canceled. So he had it made previously before the fight.

Just for him. Just for him. They just had it stored in his closet. Yeah. He's a wizard. He's the best ever. He's the greatest announcer in the history of combat sports. Will never be another. There's not even a close second. Yeah, correct. I've known that guy for 25 years or something like that. I've known him forever. I met him in 1997 when he was doing those old UFCs. You know he manages his brother. Yeah. Well, he's the one who figured out how to patent Let's Get Ready to Rumble. Put a trademark on that.

They sell that shit. They make millions of dollars just from, let's get ready to rumble. Ballin'. Ballin'. He's a great guy, too. Everybody loves Bruce. Oh, yeah. One of the best. And he's just the most exciting announcer ever. Like, when he gets you fired up for, like, if I was there, give me a little volume. Let me hear this shit. All right, Joe. Let's go. Let's get kicked off YouTube. Fuck it. Wow. I know a guy. I can get our call removed. Oh, here we go. Come on, Izzy. Oh, my God. Here we go. Boy, locked in. Boy, locked in. Locked in.

I see him clipping his MVP as he comes in. Bro, he looks really good, man. Physically, he looks really good. Doesn't he look a little thicker? Yeah, he does. Well, I think he knew that this was going to be a physical fight. A lot of the training footage, you saw a lot of heavy inside fighting and heavy grappling. Not only does he look thicker, he looks less flabby, kind of, than usual. Remember he had that tit that one time? Yeah, he had that one tit. But that was probably an infection.

But he was saying, I read a thing where he was eating Uber Eats and shit a lot in previous fights. And this one he ate super clean to increase his everything. Damn, Uber Eats gave him one fat titty? I think it's a lot of Uber Eats. He caught a bad onion ring. Just one titty. Just the one dick grows fat. One titty. He gets some fucking seed oils in his titty. Bro, a dude does not want that. Especially a dude who takes his shirt off and fucks people up for a living. Bro.

Nightmare. I think I asked him about it one time and he was like a little taken aback. I never want to see this guy win. I don't know why. I'm telling you, I feel the same way. He's so heelish. He's a natural to me. I just want to root against him. Bro, he's a tank, man. He's a problem. He's a tough son of a bitch. He's awkward as fuck. And he says the N-word, right? No. Does he? Yeah, he does a lot. When did he say that? He's from South Africa and you can say it if you're South African. Wait a minute. Does he? Are you sure? Doesn't he? No. I don't think so. I'm almost positive. I'm thinking of Mike Perry. I think of Mike Perry.

Even Mike Perry doesn't say it anymore. It's frowned upon. Not anymore. You know this. Yeah, I've heard of this. It was a big part of my special. I know. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Here we go, baby. Come on, boys. Here we go. Did they hit gloves? Yeah, they did. They did. They hit gloves. I don't like that. Oh, my goodness. Dreykus is going to charge. He's going to get clipped. That's going to be a mistake. That's what I'm thinking. Oh, my God. That's what I'm thinking. He's going to get clipped. Bro, this is as intense before a fight.

As you can get. Grudge, world title, one of the greatest ever coming back trying to win the title. I just want right now to be the only time Izzy's back is against that fence. Bro, this looks intense. Here we go. Here we fucking go. I'm nervous. Here we go.

Come on. Those gold gloves are pretty dope. I was thinking this in the gym today. I was thinking, I wonder if Drikus tries to exploit the fact that Izzy is heavy on that left leg sometimes. With kicks? Heavy kicks? Yes. Well, with low kicks because Alex exploited that. Alex did a lot of chopping at the calves.

in the first fight in particular and even in the first round of the second fight. Yeah, I was thinking that right away. But you're not Alex Pierre. Right, he's not. But he is a good kickboxer and his team is very good at formulating strategies. They did a really good job of having him fight Southpaw against Whitaker. That was a big factor. Yeah.

Because Whitaker seems to have a little bit of a problem with southpaws when he gets caught with that right hook. And that's what he caught him with that rocked him. Actually, almost like a strong jab off the right side. And he had some success against Strickland, too. Yeah. I want to see if he charges and chops at those legs in the middle of the melees.

Oh, nice inside. Oh, he caught him with that right hand. He's already cutting it off. Yeah. He's getting a clip coming in like that. The first time I saw Dreykus was live, and he was charging like a bull. I can't remember. It was like three, four fights ago or something. He's tempered that. He's tempered that. He used to have these blitzes where he would have his chin up in the air and charge forward. Yeah.

I think also those were the days where his mouth was open a lot during those fights because he had a nice kick to the body. It was a cardio problem too. Because he had a completely destroyed nose. So he got his nose reconstructed and now he could breathe out of his nose and since then he's looked amazing. Duplissus has a cardio problem? He did. His coach said he could only breathe 6% out of his nose which I thought was bullshit but then he got it fixed and that motherfucker has cardio. Yeah, that was a nice high kick by Drekus right there.

Izzy blocked to BC. Izzy's got that right hand up higher now. Drikus just hits so fucking hard, man. And he's a dog, dude. He's a dog. I mean, he's trying to kill you. Bulldog.

Yeah, and he's really hard to hurt, man. Like in the Strickland fight, oh, nice low kick by Izzy. Tony thought DDP said the N-word a lot. I swear to God, I could swear I saw a clip of him on Twitter. It was something different. I think he said something about being like the first African champion. No, he definitely did that. They said that. Izzy went on that rant. Yeah. Well, Izzy said that to him. Yeah, what's up? He did it when I was holding the microphone. Yeah, I remember that. He said the drop in the N-word? Yeah, Izzy was. Yes. It was awkward.

He's like, my African brother. He goes, I'm no brother of yours. Oh, I just Googled it. It's because Adesanya called him the N-word. Sorry about that. Are you rooting for him now? You should root for him just because you feel bad. No, Izzy watches Kill Tony every Monday. Yeah, Izzy's the man. Loves it. Posts about it and everything.

He looks good, man. He looks good. You see that tick-down defense? And from this distance, this is Izzy at his very best. All day, brother. He's the master at distance. Oh, man. He's also the master at timing. And his kickboxing is super technical. He's setting things up all the time. Dude, since you knocked out Alex, bro, how wild is that? Wild. Wild.

I mean, he's moving away from these big shots. So instead of standing there like Sean does, nice low kick there by Drekus, instead of standing there like Sean does, Izzy's on his bike. Yep.

And he looks real good. He's real good on the outside. He looks focused. Oh, but that high kick is sneaky as fuck, man. He's done that a couple times. Let's go, baby. That's it, baby. Oh, Izzy. Here we go. Good combo by Izzy. Nice combo. Always got to be careful for that left high kick, man, because Drikus is sneaky with that shit. And Izzy's blocking with one hand, which people don't realize is trouble, man. Well, it's trouble when Drikus throws that left. Ooh, he hurt him with that right hand.

Oh, another low kick. Oh, get off the fucking fence. Yeah, exactly. Izzy just shook his head, which is never a good time. That means it hurt. He just low kicks him again. You're right, Joe. I mean, that's what I would do.

If I was in his corner, I would say, look at the Alex fight. Two fights in a row, he had real problems. Oh, another one. Nice uppercut. Great uppercut. Nice. That high guard's perfect for Izzy. And that kick to the body. Oh, there's that left kick again, man. This motherfucker can kick better than I thought. Bro, he's sneaky with that left. Yeah, he is. He's sneaky. That thing's coming over the top fast. And the motherfucker takes a shot, too. Oh, there's that left again. Yeah, but Izzy's starting to feel himself now. But here's the thing, brother. When you get those on the forearm at

fucks your arm up so bad. Oh, nice right hand. That's what I'm saying. You gotta have two hands on. You gotta have two hands on. It's gonna break your forearm. It can break your forearm. Oh, we chopped at the leg again. Those kicks. See, that blitz is what's gonna get him fucked up. Yeah, that's what we want.

There it is again, the high kick. Bro, that left high kick is sneaky. It's going to be a problem if Izzy doesn't start getting too hit. Also, just holding pads, getting kicked by those sucks. Yeah, man. If you take three, four of those in the meat of your forearm, you think your leg goes numb? The thing about your leg going numb is you've got to walk on it. Your arm, you're still moving around, but you might be in fucking agony. You've got a shin slamming into your forearm. All Izzy's doing is this. So that...

What should he be doing? This. Like this. You got to do like this. And you want to catch it on the side of the bone. And then this softens it. So it's like. The worst thing you got is this. Because if you go like one hand. It's going to break. Snap that shit. Snap that shit. So many guys have gotten their forearms snapped by catching a kick. Remember Frank Shamrock and Kung Lee? Oh, bro. Snap. His arms just snapped. It happens so often. Oh, my God.

This fight's so exciting, I had to uncross my legs. I had to text Joanna. Send her a heart emoji and a fist. I want you guys to get married. Yeah, me too. Me too. Let's go. We just need her on board. You will be my bitch, Tony. I just need her on board. She's going to make you wear a dog collar, son.

She's going to make you wear a dog. She's going to peg you. She's unbelievable in real life. She got upgraded, too. Here we go. Upgraded? What do you mean? She got a BBO? No comment. That would be fucking dope. That would be ridiculous. That's not necessary. That's a Hall of Famer you're talking about there. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Now that landed. A lot of energy. Yeah, but listen, man. Oh, that's a nice low kick there, dude. That was a quick motherfucker kick. Especially that left leg. That left leg.

Low kick and high is very dangerous. That first round's tough to score. Yeah. Bro, this is a fight. I'll tell you that. This is a fight. Nice low kick. Good kick, Izzy. Great kick. Good movement.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, takedown. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Right up. We right back up, baby. Don't let him get your back. Right back up. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Almost. Hand fight. Hand fight and stand up, bud. Hand fight, stand up. Drakus is such a fucking bull, man. He's such a bull. He hasn't done much in the UFC, but he has a killer rear naked choke. Oh, he's got the back.

That's not in deep. Yeah, but he's on top, son. This is bad. This is real bad. He's going to have to give his back again and stand up. He's going to have to get up to his feet. He's got to stop the ground and pound. He can't be flattened out. This is terrible. This is terrible. Oh, no. Bad shots.

Oh, no, he hasn't. Oh, no, he's turning. He's turning. We're good, baby. This is not good, dude. This is a lot of time. 3.30 to go. Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no. It's on the chin. No, he's good. Yeah! Oh, he's on top. Back up. Back his ass up. Let's go. Come get some. Show him who you are. Come get some, baby. This is when you go. That's right, Izzy. Let's go. He's tired. Nice front kick to the body. Oh, there it goes. Nice try. He's in trouble. Nice try. He didn't kick you in the dick. Nice try. He kicked him in the body.

Yes, sir. He's tired. He's tired. He's tired as fuck. Let's go, Izzy. He burnt out a lot of energy trying to finish that. He almost had that shit. I was worried. Oh, good movement. You missed it.

Oh, that kick's slow now. Yeah, he's tired. He's very tired. Damn, he had that Charlie Brown kick. A lot of time. Oh, a lot of time. That uppercut's been all day. Is he uppercut, Bubba? Oh, right. Oh, good counter by Drickett. Oh! You got him! You dropped him! Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Dropped him into a fucking takedown. Yeah. But 2.30. We're only halfway through this round, kids. He's back up. Oh, he's grabbing the fence. He's grabbing the fence. Oh, don't grab the fence. Why not?

Because it's a point? I don't even see the ref. They give warnings, dog. They should take a point. I agree, but they don't. Okay, he's almost up. He's almost up. Drekus is tired, son. He's exhausted. He's tired. I'll just be elbowing him in the face. Oh! He landed that. He did land it. Twice. A little cheeky punch. He's up. He's up. He's up. He's up. He's up. He's up. He's up. Drekus is too tired to pull this off. His punches don't even have nothing behind him. No, he's exhausted. Drekus is exhausted. Drekus is a dog, though. You know, you got a hand fight. Don't.

This is making drink is exhausted. Yeah, yeah super exhausted is he's tired too though Look at that look at dracus is taking some deep breath son. They both are they both are bro. This is time This is tough come on He's up he's up

Turn. Does he have the energy to slam him? Bro, 130 to go is a long-ass time. A lot of things can happen at 130. Don't. Go, Kimura. Get clear. Get clear. Hand fight. Pick a hip and fucking go, bud. Violent elbows. He's got to get out of this position first. Turn, underhook, and get out. He can't get taken down again. No. He can't get taken down again. Nope. Yep, there it is again. Oh, he's up. Almost. Nope. This is exhausting for Izzy, too. He's exhausted now. You're carrying that weight. Yeah, he's got to make sure he doesn't give up his back while he's standing up.

Don't let him get those hooks in. They're resting here. He's almost up. He's up. He's up. He's up. He's tied around that waist, though. Get deep. Pummel. Get those hands free. He needs to turn into him. Them Dreckers is fucking... He's a dog, dude. Yeah, he is. He's exhausted. He's exhausted. Oh! Does he not have the, like... Oh, left hook! Oh, oh, oh, oh! Get out of there. That was a good left hook. Well, now he's starting to get some power back in those punches. Because he got some rest. Oh, here we go. Now turn! Oh!

Alright, get free, get free. Come on. 29 seconds. Pummel in. Get that underhook in. Oh! Look at this! Round the head. That's always fun. Oh my god. I fucking hate this guy. Oh, you're Mokachev now? He's on him. He's not accomplishing anything. Don't hate the player, kids. Hate the game.

Listen, this is an exhausting round. We're only in round two, kids. Only in round two. This fight's crazy. When's the last time we've seen Duplissus in deep water? Last fight? Sean Strickland. Most people thought he lost, too. But that was the first time he went five rounds. Yeah. Right? With a new nose, too. Right. Mm-hmm.

Wow, this is a fight. This is a fight, son. This is a fight, son. I like Izzy's chances, though. I really do. He's more comfortable in the striking exchanges. If he don't sit down in the corner, he just... Well, he's also been kicked in the legs a bunch. Sometimes you don't want to sit down. You're better off standing up. You would have it 1-1?

I don't know, because we're talking a lot of shit. I'm trying to delete my bias. I know. You could have a 2-0. I got a 2-0. I don't think this fight's going in the distance, kids. 2-0 Izzy? Yeah. No. If I had a bet right now, if I had a bet right now, I don't think this fight's going in the distance. No, me neither. Not a chance. I think Duplassus is getting knocked out this round. I guess 1-1. I guess Dreyk is that right.

When Izzy starts faking that hip. Drake has almost got that rear naked in that last round, man. You can't discount this right here. No. This is nasty, dude. This is that fulcrum. This is a fulcrum choke. If he has that left forearm on the back of the shoulder like Khabib did to Conor, this is a nasty choke, man. It's brutal. You don't have to get under the chin. All that came from that desperate ankle pick, that diving ankle pick you got. Yep, yep.

Well, I mean, the guy's a dog. He's getting lit up on the feet. Plus, you'd have to give DDP that round because he didn't do much. Yeah. What the fuck was that? I never called him DDP before. I feel like I'm cheating on Dallas Diamond Page. Diamond Dallas. Diamond Dallas Page. I always call him that. Do you call him Dallas Diamond? Nice front kick to the body. Izzy looks in good shape. Those kicks to the body are fucking him up too, man. That's the one that he tried to claim was a low. He has to be careful because DDP will start blitzing his ass.

I want him to blitz. That's what's going to get him fucked up. Me too. I just don't want him to blitz with Izzy's back on the fence. Correct. He can't go anywhere? That's trouble.

So the more the fight stays in this distance, the more it really favors Izzy, especially as Izzy is the more technical guy. And he looks fresher right now to me. And Izzy, now he's starting to work the feints and all that. He's in his bag right now. Yes, sir. Oh, yeah, he looks good now. He looks good now. Oh, Drek is in trouble. Yeah, he's stumbling all over. Izzy's feeling it. He's got to get a leg kick here. He's teeing off all those. Those kicks are coming slower now. Oh, Izzy's looking for the big shots. I like that. He's looking for the big shots.

And now he switches southpaw. I love it. I love it. Give him different left hits. Oh, head kick. Let's go. And then we're again, we're only in the third round, boys. Oh. I like how he's staying there when he closes the distance. Ooh. Drekas has not done much this round, kids. No, he's exhausted. He's exhausted. Oh, man. He's not even looking. He's doing that old thing. Head down. That one just hit shoulder. That was just lat. Oh, nice rip to the body. Damn, his technique looks...

Oh, and Izzy keeps... Yes! You're about to pick him apart. You're about to pick him apart, boy. He's picking him apart. Come on, Izzy. And he's fucking up his body. I know Trevor Noah somewhere just conflicted, you know? He doesn't watch this. He doesn't watch this, man. He's watching WNBA right now. If you work for that show, you get canceled for watching this. Yeah, it's frowned upon. You're encouraging violence. Whoa!

Drekus has lost a lot of steam off of his shots and Izzy has not. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh

Let's go champ. Oh, Jesus Christ. God, that technique's so bad, but it's landing. Yeah, but the thing is, Izzy let him catch him there. I agree. Use that jab, Iz. Oh, see, like this shit? Oh, he got hit again. No, none of that landed. Yeah, the right hand did. Nah, his hand was up, dog. Yeah, but it still hit his hand while his hand was in front of his head. Get out of there. There you go. Oh, that's big. That's big. That's big. Come on. He's exhausted. Let's go. But Izzy's a little tired too here, kids. Yeah, he is. But he looks better. Oh, nice right hand. Yeah.

Yeah, Izzy's like third round tired. This guy's like fifth round tired. Yeah, he is. Well, look how he does. Everything he does, he does as hard as he can. Every punch he throws, he throws as hard as he can possibly throw. That's why he's a fucking problem. Yeah, but it's also why the gas tank runs dry. Oh, nice right hand. Oh, Izzy's got the timing down. Look how he avoids. Oh, oh. Got that uppercut there. His timing's off.

See, I don't like Fierce Day there in trade. No, no, no. I don't like his shot. The problem is when he gets tired, if he moves back and he just takes just a little too much time, and then Drikus blitzes like that. Like if he gets hit with one of those. Yep. Those are tricky. Yeah, heavy. They're fucking heavy. They're slow, but they're fucking heavy. Oh, that's a nice low kick by Drikus. He still keeps chopping at that fucking right leg. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Come on.

I just want to see as he put on the brakes and hit his ass. Bro, I'm worried about those fucking hammers. Me too, bro. It's like so close to his fucking grill. Yeah. You got to appreciate that guy's grit. He don't got the juice. Oh, that left hook to the body was nasty. Oh, he took a big deep breath. Oh, right hand. Is he going to? Those body shots are fucking him up. It's investment. Yep. And he's out of breath. He's getting beat up, man. These shots all count, you know?

He's like chipping away at him. Chipping away at him. Oh, Jesus. It's like a push. He's a dog, man. Yeah, he's fucking... That's a dog. Nice inside low kick. He's not stopping. This definitely is his round. Such a crazy strategy, right? Just put your head down and wing punches. Wild. And become world champion? Yeah.

He's exhausted. But he's a fucking dog, so it's not over. No, it's not over, man, because he's going to recover. For sure. That's the clearest round for Izzy. It's clearly Izzy winning. Yeah, clearly Izzy now. The momentum is also clearly on Izzy's side. You probably say 2-1 Izzy. If you're just balls deep on DDP, say 2-1 DDP.

The turn of the tide is definitely in Izzy's favor. He's really sucking air right here. He's getting teed on, and he's getting a lot of rips to the body. Those are our best ones. What is that? Is that your best time ever? Yeah, that's him in this corner. Oh, he's not French? No. Fuck, dog. Oh.

That's why you got to stay off Twitter, bro. He's South African. Oh, right, right, right.

Oh my God, that's hilarious. He's French. You're the casual of casuals, Brian. The whole deal with this fight is a battle for Africa. He's from South Africa. That's why I made the Trevor Noah joke. Oh, you fucked up. His stupid name. Brian thinks France is in South Africa. His stupid name, Drekas Duplicy. Here we go.

Round four, kids. Championship rounds. Let's go. I am out of breath. Give me some mayonnaise. Oh, no. Oh, no. How about a Bordeaux in between rounds? This French guy's tough. This French guy. His name drew me off. I thought he was from France. Even though 10 minutes ago I was making Trevor Noah jokes. I heard this French guy dropping n-bombs. Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, Izzy just had a beautiful combination tonight. Oh, he stopped it. What a sprawl. Now we cooking, baby. He's dead. He's out of breath. He doesn't even want it. Let his ass up. He doesn't even want it. Let's go. Let's go. Oh, my God. This is exciting. This is the old style, Bender. Yes, sir. Give him the feints. Give him the feints. Yep. There you go, Izzy.

This is the style bender of old, kids. Yep. You're about to learn today. Oh, boy. This is Izzy that knows I'm in here with somebody that's not on my level. Well, it's also a guy that's compromised. You've been beating him up and chipping away at him, and now you're fresher and he's dying. He's, like, taking big lunging shots at you. And that's the game plan. That's championship shit, man. Especially for Izzy's style. Like, oh, nice kick to the body. Oh, nasty. Oh, nice. Look at that uppercut. Oh, my goodness. Hitting you with that apartheid.

The Mandela effect. Yeah. He looks good, dude. He looks good. He looks good. Just DDP. I love those gold gloves. I got to say. I do too, man. I got to say. Those gold gloves look fresh. I want Izzy to win so bad so he can fight Strickland.

They're going to fight again, man. I guarantee you they're going to fight again. Oh, yeah. They're going to fight again. He needs that one back. Yep. Well, I just don't think he realized how good Strickland was. That's my feeling. The few things. I think he didn't realize how good he was. Overlooked him. There's also drinking and then also all the fights, title fights. People realize heavy lights the crown. When you hold the title, you got to do more media. The pressure's on you. No one in UFC history has ever utilized the Philly shell. He's probably never even seen that before.

The way Strickland fights is very unique. And that front kick to the body is also a real problem. He throws you off with that front kick to the body. He does it off that front leg whenever you settle. Strickland's good, man. Strickland's really fucking good. And his fucking cardio is off the charts. He spars so much. Well, think about Strickland. Like, we know how hard... Oh, daddy. Oh, Izzy caught him with that right hand. Think how hard DDP hits and Strickland just stood in there toe-to-toe. Yep.

That's how good his defense is, and that's how tough he is. He's barely touched Adesanya tonight. Yeah, barely. It's wild. A lot of effective low kicks. Izzy's just fucking up his body, too. I love the body shots. Just drain that cardio. Yeah, just move him. Look just how... Yeah, it's incredible how he does that. He's got the timing down. One of the most beautiful pieces of art. Does it land?

The thing is the guy never stops swinging, man. And it's like if you're tired at all and you're in these exchanges, it's fucking dangerous, man. If I was in his corner, I'd be chewing on my fingernails. Like, get out of there. Don't stand in front of that guy. Also, with Izzy making a miss, nothing depletes your fucking energy source more than fucking swinging. Oh, dude, dude, dude, dude. Oh, God. Why does missing make you more tired than hitting? Because you have to pull your arm back. Oh, dude, dude, dude.

Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. What the fuck is going on? He heard him, dude. He heard him. Oh shit, he might have this. Oh no. He has it. Oh no. Oh my god. Oh my god. Drekus is a fucking animal, dude. That's a tough motherfucker. He's a fucking animal. That's a tough fucking guy. I was saying that those punches, even though he's exhausted, you can't be in those exchanges. You're gonna get clipped. If you get clipped, you're in real trouble.

Fuck, he got hit with those big right hands, man. He got rocked with those right hands. God, this makes me feel like America lost a war or something. Wow. Like, I just fucking hate how this feels. Fuck. Yeah, I don't feel great. I guarantee you'd win. I remember one time when I was a kid, I was a big Donald Curry fan. You remember Donald Curry? Donald Curry was a welterweight boxing champion. Okay. And he fought Milton McCrory, who was like his big rival. Milton McCrory was a bad motherfucker, too. And...

McCrory hit him with a, no, Mike McCallum, excuse me, the body snatcher they called him. Mike McCallum, because Donald Curry had just knocked out Milton McCrory, this spectacular fight, and then he fights McCallum. McCallum hit him with a left hook to the body and a left hook to the chin, and he went out cold, lying flat on his back, and I couldn't take it. I had to go running.

I had to leave my house. I had to go running. I was just so fucked up over it. And I said to myself, I'm never going to get that fucked up over someone fighting again. See, that's how I feel, but I want to eat and stuff.

Bro, so here it is. It's the punches. It's a weird thing because Izzy was dominating. But still, in these wild exchanges, that guy's got the heart to catch you. His heart's insane. Look at this right here. Boom and then boom. These are big shots when you're tired and it's the fourth round. And then he gets his fucking back, man.

Crazy. He won, I don't know what organization it was, but I was looking at his record recently. He won like six of his first seven fights with that rear naked choke. He comes from a tough organization.

But literally, almost all of his first fights he won by rear naked choke. And I found it so interesting because I've never seen him even fight like that the last few fights in the UFC. He's a weird one because you look at it. No, he got Darren Tell on the rear naked choke recently. But he's a weird one because you look at it and you're like, what does he do well? Well, he's very awkward and he has no quit in him.

Very awkward, no quit, big power. You wouldn't say technically. Super durable. Takes a great shot and amazing heart. Won't quit, yes. I mean, he got pieced up. It didn't even look like he even rocked his knee or anything. Like, Izzy was just confused about what was happening. No, no, he rocked him. Yeah? Yeah, those are big right hands, man. That's why he was acting like that. Dude, those are big right hands. They caught him right in the side of the head, and they hit him with two in a row. Is it so weird he punches with the back of his hand? No, he does it like this. He's doing it like this. He's hitting with the knuckles. Oh.

I'll tell you what, my Instagram comments on that Izzy post aren't going to be fun. Well, don't read them. Oh, of course not. You bet. No, I guaranteed Izzy would win, though. Oh.

I really thought he was going to as well. Yeah, but you can't count that guy out. This is like the whole thing that I was saying. Whenever you have these exchanges and you see these winging punches come Izzy's way, anything can happen. And when you're tired and you're not moving back as good as you were in the second and the first, shit happens. Especially when a guy has no quit in him. Yeah, look at that, man. I mean, that's a definitive victory. This is what happens when you live vicariously through other grown men. Yeah, you get disappointed, man.

But think about this. Drikus is his beat. He stopped Whitaker. He beat Strickland. Now he's beat Izzy. Not only that, he finished Izzy with a rear naked choke. Nobody's finished Izzy like that in a fight ever in the UFC. No one submitted him like that. No. He's been TKO'd, which was controversial, but no. Yeah. That's crazy. I mean, that's a crazy victory.

You gotta give it up to that dude. It's hard for me to give it up to him. I don't know why. Oh, you're crazy. I know. He's a nice guy. He's never lost two in a row. I bet me he would get along great. He's a great guy. Yeah, I'm sure he is. Look, I give it up to the guy. The guy's a fucking animal. Savage. I hate him. As much as I love Izzy. I hate how he talks. Let's hear him talk. Yeah, let's hear the fucking... You love this stuff. That would get an accent. I got the date down.

Bro, he's legit. He's legit. He's like the Russian from Rocky. Don't you wish that Alex was still at 185? I bet he could go to 205. He's big enough. Oh, yeah. He could definitely go to 205. Come get some. He would get starched up there. Oh,

Oh, but wouldn't you love to see him try? Oh, yeah. I mean, that's jumping into the fucking shark. I mean, he can take a shot for sure. But can you take a shot from that guy? And you can take a shot from that guy at 205. Because that guy at 205 puts everybody night-night. Everybody goes night-night.

Well, so Strickland's guaranteed. Dana said Strickland gets the winner. So Strickland's next for this. Or you give Strickland a little money to fight Robert Whittaker and he's like, come on, let's go double champ. No, because you got Whittaker fighting Hamzat. Ooh, that's right. That's right. That's happening soon, too. But who knows how that's going to work out. Hopefully Hamzat makes the fucking walk. Yeah, that's what I was about to say. I mean, how many fights has Hamzat had to pull out of?

He went two or three and then he misweighed on one when he fought Kim Ho. Remember his whole claim to fame was he fought like three in a row or something? But that was before he got rich and famous. Yes, different animal. The problem is he's like so revered in the Muslim world. You know, he's got like that Chechnyan leader loves him. And, you know, he's a fucking man now. He's driving a Mercedes. You know what I'm saying? Here's the question. What does he do?

Well, Izzy was winning the fight. He was doing real good. He got caught. It doesn't matter the loss, you know. It doesn't, you know. Yeah, he just got caught. That happens. He got caught. I think Izzy comes back. And I think Izzy took a lot of time off. I think he looked real good. Me too. You know, maybe he needed more time to prepare. Maybe Drekus is just that tough. Or maybe he needed another fight, like a tune-up fight. We don't do that in the UFC. There's no tune-up fights in the UFC, son. Mm-hmm.

You come back. Especially when you're that good. Yeah, you're fighting the cream of the crop. And also, those guys, there's no picnics. No, it's savage. Why do you get to fight the champ?

Because he lost the title in his last fight. He's one of the greatest of all time. Yeah, I get it. He takes time off, and it's the most compelling fight other than Strickland. And there's a beef there, you know? But now Robert Whitaker looks pretty fucking good, too. Robert Whitaker has to beat Hamzat, and then he'll get the shot again.

Yeah, Whitaker looks... And then don't forget Bo Nickel, too. Bo Nickel is on the come up. I mean, he's got no doubt. Also, Joe Pfeiffer. How about them apples? That guy's fucking terrifying. He's terrifying for everybody. Oh my God. First team all violence. Bro, Joe Pfeiffer hits so goddamn hard.

When he fought fucking Powerbar. Izzy might retire. Izzy might retire. He just said if he decides to retire, I just saw him take his gloves off. Is he? Oh, my God. I wouldn't be surprised. Because with Izzy, you're going to go back in the queue. No. All right, let's see what's going on here. You don't want to fight Alex at 205. Let's see what happens. Let's see what happens here. He might just be just taking his gloves off because the fight's over. No, man, he can't do that. I know he does that. If he's retiring, they'll give him time. Just stick him with this hug. Is he there? Okay. He took his... Okay. Here.

His gloves are off. Yeah, they're off, but they're not on the ground. Not yet. Yeah.

Well, that's the opposite of a retirement right there. That's kudos to the DP. All class. Yeah. Yeah, all class. I didn't manifest this. Look, I know everyone...

I ain't never gonna quit!

I can't believe he didn't say it. Oh, and let's not forget. That was such a golden opportunity. Is he possibly the greatest post-fight speech of all time when he beat Alex? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was good. Oh, yeah. Boy, that shit makes me give me chills. That was incredible. That was incredible. I'd say Connors was better, but yeah. They worked it out. This is cool, too.

DDP beat a very good Izzy. Very good Izzy. A tuned up Izzy who's ready to go, in shape. He's a fucking animal, man. He's an animal. He's an animal. And he's so durable. He's a fucking berserker. Berserker. And he's so big for the weight class. When you're standing next to that dude, you can't imagine him. He weighs 185. He's so big. I wonder what he weighs now.

Deep in the twos. Deep in the twos. Deep in the twos. Thick as fuck. Big. This is cool. I'm glad they burned the bullshit. Wouldn't it be good if Izzy went to 205 and fought Alex at 205? No. I don't like that. Alex at 205 is what he's supposed to weigh. At 185, he was starved. Starved and dehydrated and still fucking people up. Alex is...

He's a different thing. Yeah. He's a problem. Alex is a different thing. If Drekus goes up to 205 and fights Alex, oh my goodness. And beats him. Oh my goodness. I'll fly to the moon to commentate that fight. Yeah. Man. I want to see that fight. That's crazy. There's so many good fights coming up. But for me, the big one that I can't wait for is O'Malley and Marapa. That's an interesting one. Yep. Oh! Yep. Oh!

Bro, how do you keep that animal off deck? If O'Malley keeps up what he did in his last fight, if he can look that magical again and again, then all of a sudden, in my opinion, he's jumping in the goat conversation real quick. This movie looks good. He doesn't like it was the last fight where he made that guy look in slow motion. Yeah, because think about it. He beat Jan, Alistair Overeem beats Marab. Like, what are we talking about here? You just said Alistair Overeem.

You meant Aljamain Sterling. I was like, what did he do? What did he do? Bro, this movie looks good. I heard this movie's really good, too. Weird tasting movies. Alien? You don't like alien movies? You like everything because you eat 250 milligrams of edibles right before you watch this shit. Every time you recommend a movie. Those movies are good.

That's a good movie. You never saw Prometheus? Great movie. Great movie. Son of a bitch. Maybe it's good, yeah. Great fucking movie. What's the last one? What was the last one? They made one after it. Yeah. And that's good, too. Better. It's better even than Prometheus. The last one. Shit. What is it, Jamie? The last alien movie. I forget. Prometheus is fucking fantastic. But the last one was the best one. Oh.

Covenant. Yes. Covenant's good. That's good. Yeah. I love those movies. I watch any alien movie, any Predator movie. Well, you know what was good? Surprisingly, it was Prey. Where the Predator was Prey versus the Comanches. It was on Hulu. Yeah. Oh, was that good? Surprisingly. Yeah, he looked like some bullshit. A little bit of suspension of disbelief. A little bit. A little bit. Yeah. This chick's kicking ass on these aliens. I'm out. It's good. It's great. It's good, dude. It's good.

It's wild. It's a wild movie. Oh, you know they're making Apocalypto 2. Ooh. Is Mel Gibson involved? Because if not, I'm out. I think so. You got to let that crazy motherfucker. Give him whiskey, too. Yeah. Don't let him be sober. No. Let him get wild.

Mel Gibson could make a fucking movie, son. Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto. A sequel to Passion of the Christ would be sweet. The comeback? Yeah, the story of a fucking, like what would that be like in the modern day world? The comeback. That's a crazy fucking movie. You tell the story of one of the other motherfuckers that was being crucified. That story is the test of how much you believe. Talking about faith? Yeah, how much you believe. Do you believe he came back from the dead? I don't see anything about Apocalypto 2.

Really, you don't see make fake trailers god damn it these agi motherfucker ACI whatever I over CGI I overheard so it's a one athletic greens These motherfuckers

There is a new Predator movie in the works. Oh, there is? What is it? Kevin Spacey film. He's a son of a bitch! Look at Cormier's watch. What is that? It's called Badlands. Set in 1719. He's not talking to you. A Predator in 1719? That was Prey. But it's similar to that. Just not a sequel. It's called Badlands? Is it in the same time period? I don't know. It says same director. It was good, man. Prey was good.

I'll watch that. I'll have to check it out, then. Tony, what kind of movies do you like? You don't like Predator movies and alien movies? No, I like crazy shit. I rewatched Hereditary. Oh, I like all the classics. Have you seen Hereditary before? What's that? Oh, it's like one of these fucking creepy, scary movies. It's like really creepy. I like that. Have you seen Midsommar? It's from the same guy that made Midsommar. It's from the A24 people. Oh, what's Hereditary? Oh, it's crazy, dude.

Well, it's hard to describe. See that creepy-ass little girl? Yeah. It's pretty much about her. Kind of. Why is it always little girls scare the shit out of you when they're evil? Well, look at the face on this one. I mean, Jesus. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Every single person. And she's a good actress, too. Every single person after this movie Googled, like, is this girl really regarded evil?

Regarded? Is she like possessed? Oh, regarded? Damn, Doug. Her face is weird. Regarded? I don't want to get you in trouble. Regarded? We were like, what does he say? We were listening to the code that you didn't give us the fucking password for. What's the code? Regarded. People think she's regarded. Does she really have the weird face? She's not what we'd say a regard. She grew up, though. What was that movie that came out recently about that little girl was a vampire?

And the people were, they kidnapped this little girl and they thought that they were going to get paid to like kidnap this little girl and she kills everybody. It's like a game that they play. They bring people in to kidnap this little girl so that she can fuck them up later. That's right. I'll tell you what I'm excited about. Abigail. That's a fun movie. That's a fun movie, man. Have you seen it? You've seen the whole thing? Abigail? Yeah. I love these movies. I haven't seen it.

Abigail's fun. Have you seen the trailer for the new Beetlejuice yet? No. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Oh my God. Yeah? It's actually, this is like the first time I've been excited for a movie since the last Tarantino movie. Really? I'm with him on this. I love Beetlejuice. You haven't seen it? No. Michael Keaton's back. You can't watch it. No, we can't. You know Jenny Ortega from, she played Wednesday? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's in it too. Oh, okay. We can see the trailer as long as we don't see it on camera, as long as we don't hear it out loud.

You have to picture Tim Burton music throughout all this. Like creepy, powerful. He is the master at creating a very specific aesthetic. Is that Winona Ryder? Look at that motherfucker. You're damn right. Beetlejuice is a little older.

CGI. They can do a lot of shit to you. Make you look exactly like you used to look like. Dude, I felt so bad for that guy when I saw the movie as a kid. When the lady shrunk his head again. Did you feel bad? I felt real bad for him. I was like, why didn't you just be quiet? Yeah, I felt like you deserved it.

Dude, the original Beetlejuice is fucking amazing. Great movie. If you rewatch it, there's so many cool fucking things hidden in the beginning and stuff that come back later. Imagine Tim Burton pitching Edward Scissorhands. Wild. Okay, so it's Johnny Depp, handsomest guy in the world. We're going to make him look goofy, and we're going to give him scissors for fingers. Wow. It's really frustrating because he cuts everybody. Yeah. What? The movie's so good. What the fuck are you talking about? It's a metaphor on how we hurt the people we love the most. Oh, is that what it's about? I don't know.

I think it's a burden, you know? He wants to hug you, but he can't because he'll hurt you. I don't even remember the movie. It's been so long since I've seen it. He's dressed all weird and he starts cutting all the girls' hair. I mean, was it good? Fuck yeah. Unbelievably good. Yeah. Classic. Crazy good. Yeah.

Like, the whole fucking way through. Tim Burton was on a street. I know, but imagine pitching that. Imagine if you were an investor and you're like, what the fuck are you talking about? Oh, well, that's the thing. Get me a superhero movie, god damn it. I want the Avengers. Beetlejuice is the real OG version of that. Because it's like, you could never pitch anybody Beetlejuice today. That's one of these things that happens online. It's a fake one? Oh, Timothee Chalamet? Unless it's real, because there's multiple photos of him. There's probably some AI photos and someone is trying to clickbait. That's probably my guess.

Yeah, it's not Razor's on his head. I haven't heard of it. Is it a real thing? That's why it doesn't sound like it. Tim Burton did Beetlejuice and then Nightmare Before Christmas. But that's how creative people can get. They can find enough stuff out there to create a fake trailer that makes it look like it's a real movie. Hey, Jamie, what was the deal with that ref? Did you ever find out? The judge? Yeah, well, that was a terrible card. It was a terrible card. He gave all three rounds to Ty and...

Rosenstreich was teeing off on him. That's crazy. Speaking of those fake trailers, they got Callan's old ass. He came up to me. He's like, dude, do you see Conor McGregor, dude? I'm like, what? He's like, he's the new Popeye. And I'm like, they're making a Popeye movie? He's like, you haven't seen the trailer? I'm like, no. He showed up to me. I'm like, you're a fucking moron. He's a terrible actor.

Conor McGregor? What was that movie? Roadshow? Roadhouse? Look at this. Conor McGregor as Popeye. Oh my God. I'm in. It's actually, yeah, I'm feeling it. I'm in. Why don't they make this?

Connor, they should make this. Connor, if I was your manager, I'd say, fuck the Chandler fight. No, I am into this. Let's go, Popeye. These scenes are from Roadhouse. So what? Shut the fuck up. Stop rooting for me. I didn't watch Roadhouse. No one saw Roadhouse. We don't know that. Shane has a great joke. That's AI. Oh, that's super AI. Shane's joke about Connor. Amazing. So fucking funny. But you can do a lot of CGI stuff and make me believe.

I mean, Cal was all in. We're going to get to the point where you can just make the movie. Well, that's why Tyler Perry shut down his studio. Tyler Perry was in the middle of making an $800 million production studio, and he saw Sora, saw a demonstration of the new AI, the ability to, like, you just put in a prompt, and you've seen the videos of Sora? We played it in the Green Room the other day. Yeah, like Duncan wouldn't stop talking.

Incredible. The Tokyo in the snow was insane. Oh yeah, he showed me. It's insane. Yeah, it's wild. So he shut down his studio. He's like, hold up. I'm going to pause.

Because I'm not going to need that. I'm not going to need all this crazy shit. Everything's going to be done inside of a computer. Maybe. Or he shut down his studios because people weren't watching him dress up as a lady anymore. But they are. Yeah. He's not born broke anytime soon. They are. Those things sell. Those things still slap? Oh, yeah. Oh, there's a market for that. Is there? Yeah. Really? Listen. Very popular movie on Amazon, I think. Yeah.

There you go. There's a market for everything. He also has shows. He has a bunch of shows. He's got a bunch of shit. Yeah, so he saw that and he was like, that's a wrap. I mean, why would you spend $800 million on some antiquated shit if a computer program comes along next year and then you could do it on your laptop? Yeah, you have the expensive studio. All this new shit. I'll tell you what I did the other day. Something I like to do once every five years at least. I fucking did Dark Side of the Moon with Wizard of Oz.

Incredible. Have you seen this? What the fuck are you talking about? It's one of the greatest anomalies and coincidences in the history of art. What are you talking about? You don't know about this? No. If you hit start on Dark Side of the Moon on the second roar of the MGM Lion of Wizard of Oz, and you turn the audio of Wizard of Oz all the way down and Dark Side of the Moon all the way up...

It matches. It's a crazy fucking visual thing. It matches exactly. Yeah. It matches in this weird way. Lyrics, beats. Where it syncs up. Dark Side of the Rainbow, also known as Dark Side of Oz or The Wizard of Floyd, is a pairing of the 1973 Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon with the 1939 film Withered

I asked Roger Waters about it. And they get asked.

All the time about this. But it seems like they made it to sync up. They have to. They didn't. The coincidences are insane. It's nuts. I think it's proof of the simulation. I think so, too. When I was re-watching it the other day, I was positive of it. Positive of it. There's a lot of stuff that makes me think this isn't real. Yeah. These really smart people that understand this in a level that I'm not really capable of...

Like Elon says, the chances of this not being a simulation are one in billions. Billions.

Yeah, and he's a smart guy. But I only hear rich people saying we're in a simulation. Like the lady working at McDonald's with four kids, they'd be like, this is a simulation. Listen, the kid working in the cobalt mine in the Congo wishes he worked at McDonald's. Yeah. Right? That would be the simulation. Oh, my God. Free fish and chips. Yeah. You know? Fish and chips. Whatever. Whatever you get. Filet fish. Filet fish, man. I told you I had a cheat day today. I ate two filet of fish and a spicy chicken sandwich at McDonald's. Wow. Solid cheat day.

How'd you feel 30 minutes later? Terrible. I worked out like a werewolf after that. Tried to burn that shit off. Like, what did I do to my body? I haven't seen you eat bread in like a year. Yeah, I barely do. But today I did. Today I went off. I had a piece of bread when we went to eat, too. I didn't give a fuck. You bite that bitch up, too. I ate onion rings, too. I ate three onion rings. I didn't give a fuck. Man, that steak was fucking awesome. Yeah, three forks. Shout out to Three Forks. You can't have a bad restaurant in Austin.

It's very rare, man. You can't. You won't survive. There's too many good ones. There's too many good ones. There's a fucking taco cart across from the mothership. Oh, it's bomb. Unbelievable. Bomb diggity. You get pizza out here, though? There are places I hear. There are places I hear I have not been. But there's a bunch of places if you Google it. There's like some high-end places that make some badass pizza. I'm also yet to find like an A1 top-tier sandwich shop.

Oh, we got those. We do? Yeah, you got to find them. Oh, don't you have a Fanugi's out here or something like that? What's that one that Callum kept telling me about? Yeah, it's Fanugi's. No, no, no, no, no. It's something like that, right? Scarfs. Scarfs. No, no, no. Snarfs. Snarfs is good. That's my go-to right now. That's a great sandwich. But I'm talking about something on the level of like... Oh, like Italian delis? Like you ever eat at like Ghost Sando in LA? No. Like that level.

Where's that at? How about my man Giovanni that we had cater, kill Tony? That was unbelievable. That dude from GNR's Deli in the Bronx. I saw your post about it. He's got his own place now in White Plains. It's good. Insane. I didn't eat all day just so I could eat his sandwiches on Saturday night. I just decided not to eat. Snarf's is the best sandwich I've had in a hot second, though. They're very good. I'd eat that shit right now. No, no, it's not bad at all. You know who's got great sandwiches? Joe DeRosa.

Oh, yeah, his spot's out here, too. He's making a spot out here. He had a pop-up when Moon Tower was going on. He did a pop-up. The comic? Yeah. He brought us some sandwiches. He's got a great sandwich shop in New York City. Joey Rose's. Really good. Really good. Big-ass fucking sandwiches, too. Have you found good chicken wings out here? Oh, yeah. What's that place you get delivered? It's called BBQ Chicken. They have one in L.A., too.

You told me about that bomb-ass Korean place. That's what I'm talking about. No, the late-night place. What is it called? Soha? Oh, Soha. No, you told me about that. I told you about that? About Soha, yeah. Oh, that's right. But that's not chicken wings. No, no, no, but it's Korean food. It's awesome chicken wings. Amazing Korean food. David Lucas knows the best chicken wing spots. BBQ chicken's the best chicken wing, period. You know what's a chain that I can't... Those ones that you get all the time? Yeah. No, those are... No? Those crusty, over-breaded ones get the fuck out of your mouth.

Wow. What did I say, Joe? Gus's. I didn't know Gus's was a chain. Gus's is incredible. No, Gus's is great fried chicken. Incredible. The last time I got Gus's, it wasn't as good. I think by the time it got to you, it was cooled off. That's why. But they bet about 90%. But Gus's is good. But when you get it in Gus's, it's hot. That's what you want. They don't have wings, though. They just have fried chicken. Yeah, but they have fried pickles. But it's great. Lucy's, I think it is. Lucy's fried chicken here. Have you tried that? Yeah, Lucy's is good. Yeah.

Yeah, this is good. I mean, I haven't tried all the fried chicken. Have you tried that Egyptian barbecue place, KG Barbecue? Egyptian barbecue? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a food truck. Yeah. Okay, yeah, it's attached to the little brewery. Yeah. That's awesome, too. I went there with Action Bronson. Oh, and Golden Chicken makes decent wings. They got this, I don't know what they call it, crack, crack, crack, sprinkle, crack. Some kind of seasoning that they, it's awesome. Yeah.

There's so many good restaurants out here. There's a seafood spot out here called Monger's. Oh, that place is great. Monger's is good? Monger's is great. Best crab cakes I had outside of Maryland. Oh, you got to go to J. Carver's and get the crab cakes. J. Carver's has the best crab cakes. Not that Monger's aren't great, but J. Carver's are off the charts. Best crab cakes I've ever had. I've only been to J. Carver's once without you. It's great.

You can't get bad food out here. If you're in a town that has bad restaurants, that sucks. If you want to go on a hot dinner date, you got to go two hours. But where has bad, I guess, middle America, maybe? No, bro. Go to Vermont, you'll starve to death. White people food. I asked the dude, I was like, yo, what's good out here? He was like, popcorn.

Pot pies. No, it was like some kind of steamed... Steamed clams or something? No, it was like steamed sandwich. A steamed sandwich. They like put cheese on something and steam it. I'm out. Bro, it's only warm there for a day. Yeah. You can't stay in a place this cold. Best steakhouse I've ever been to is in Oklahoma. Oklahoma City. Really? Yep. Best steakhouse ever? Hands down. Really? What's it called? I'm close.

Something rep. Have you been to that place in Vegas? Bizarre Meats? Bizarre Meats, yeah. Bro, you might change your fucking mind. That's the top of the pile for me. Oh, the name. Good call. You're real smart. Where was that place we went to? Bizarre Meats is the top of the pile. Was that in Omaha, that one place we went to a crazy steakhouse? B-A-Z-Z-A-R, not B-I-Z. Not bizarre like how bizarre. No, like a bizarre, like a shithole.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah. I thought it was like bizarre meat. No, no, no, no. We're getting wacky. No, no, no, no. We have zebra. No, it's that guy, Jose Andres, that famous chef. Oh, word. It's incredible. It's all Argentine style, so they have like hardwoods burning and the steaks are like on these grills you raise and lower. No. Okay. That's a chujascaria. That's Brazilian. Yeah. Yeah.

That's like folk with a show. And they have the old cow. Yes. An older cow, a mature cow. Yeah, like the milk cow. By the way, who dresses better than Dean Thomas? Yep. Dean is the best dresser in all of MMA. He's always got some stylish shit on. Yeah, that's pretty good. Like, look at him. My man rocking the ascot. Dean will rock a turtleneck. Like, what are you wearing, Dean? Always. He's always got some slick shit on. He's great. What do you think about Khalil Roundtree?

Great fight. Fighting Alex. That's crazy, right? Entertainment-wise, it's great. And he's won five in a row. It's a funner fight for Alex. He just keeps building him. And after that, his last fight, when you see Khalil, it just keeps getting better. It just keeps getting better. Love Khalil. Such a good person. He's a great guy. I just had him on recently. Yeah. That fight, that's a big-ass fight, man. Huge fight for him.

Because remember, he's going to be the co-main event on a Conor card. He gets busted. Conor falls out. Yep. And now all of a sudden he's fighting for the title in Salt Lake City. By the way, who saved more cards than Alex? Legend. That's why he's my pound for pound number one. He just keeps having them save these cards. Card goes south. Who wants to defend the title? Alex is like, Chama.

Doesn't speak English. Whatever. Let's ride. And he's one of the biggest stars in the sport. Yeah. You don't have to speak English in the sport. All that shit talking is great. But if you can just flatline every motherfucker that's in front of you, he does. You have to be a knockout artist, though. Right. You have to be flatlining dudes. You can't be a grappler. Right, right, right.

Like when Floyd Mayweather was making all those pay-per-view dollars, even though he's winning by decision, just everybody wanted to see him lose. He had talked so much shit, got people so riled up that everybody bought it, and he would just smartly box his way to a victory. He didn't care. But it kept working. It kept working. He'd get people so riled up. Because he realized people wanting to see you lose is just as powerful of marketing as anything.

Maybe more powerful. Yeah. I mean, that's why he's always showing his cars and showing his jewels and his watches. Like Duplessis, I want him to lose so bad, I'm going to watch every fight that he's in. So him and Sean Strickland, the rematch is going to be very interesting because I thought Sean won the first fight. I thought it was real close, but I thought Sean won. I think Sean beats him in the rematch. Really? Yeah. What makes you think that? I thought Sean beat him the first time.

I think not only does he beat him, I think he's going to beat him bad. Really? I don't know if there's beating DDP bad. Imagine if Sean beats DDP bad, then you go Sean Izzy too. I'm happy with that. You can't. Why not? Let's go. Yeah, why can't you? Why not? You can't. What are we, in Russia? Yeah. Let's go. You can't because he doesn't have a fucking win in a hot second. Shut your fucking dirty mouth and let's fucking party. No, I think Izzy's... He's 0-2. Yeah, but still. Has Izzy not moved into that, almost into that...

Connor status where he can pick his shots? No. Almost. He doesn't have that demand. If he won tonight, for sure. But here's the other problem he's going up against. You have Hamzat. You have all these other killers coming up the rankings. Yep. And they need their shot. Yep. And it was a definitive fight. What does it say here? What's he saying? Coming down to 25 one more time. Oh my God. Oh.

Oh, my God. What's the rest of that? Oh, okay. Oh, my God. He's going to come down to 185 one more time. This one said, bro is a menace. Look at that face. Oh, my God. That's not real. That's fake. What are you talking about? That's real. That's how he talks.

That's real. That's his Instagram. Brian probably knows he's been on Instagram all night. He's been checking Twitter. It's fake. Let me ask everybody on my Twitter page. Brian's like, that French guy's tough. Does he talk shit like that? Yes. Oh, yeah, all the time. Sure, he wants a fight. Yeah. And I guess he can make 85 still, which is just nuts.

But he was making 85 and going up to 220 the night of the fight. That's so crazy. I would love for him. Does he get a shot if he wants it? Absolutely. Yeah. He's the champ at 205. He's the champ at 205. If he decides to make 85 again and they decide to do it for December. Because, like, look, in a perfect world, Conor fights Chandler in December in Vegas. In a perfect world. That's what Conor wants. In a perfect world. But he hasn't fought in a couple of years. Like, is that going to happen?

You know? And I'm going to be honest, I'm not as excited to see Conor fight anymore. How dare you? Well, that's the problem. As time goes on. Like, if he doesn't fight for a year from now, it's a tough sell. Can he still headline? Yes. Of course. And still the biggest. But I'm not as excited for that card as. You wouldn't be as excited as you were if Chandler and him fought in July. Right?

Right? If Chandler and him fought when they were supposed to fight. But the week of the fight, you'd be excited. You're going to be ramped up. And then when he walks out, you're going to be ramped up. And the whole place goes green. Yeah, I'm going to watch it, but I'm not going to be like, oh shit, I can't wait. I couldn't wait for this. Right. More excited than when you were for the French guy? Yeah, fuck that guy. Wee-wee. Ha ha ha.

Wee, wee, wee. South Africa. Wee, wee, wee. Same shit. Trevor Noah Jones. Imagine Brian Simpson with a map. Where's he from? What's his name? Guy Carrafrance. Dude, you would be so ashamed of how baked I was on flagrant. Why? I'm so ashamed because I didn't... Oh, no, I listened to it. Did you not know what you're talking about? No, I didn't remember it until it came out. I was in Detroit the weekend before.

And they kept dropping off edibles in the green room. Oh, no. Boxes of stuff. Oh, no. And there was this one shit called Band, and I had a bag of them. And the bag was 200 milligrams. Right. But the night before Flickr, I couldn't sleep, so I reached in this fucking box and grabbed one, and I ate it, and I didn't realize the one I ate was just one. Like, you know, like the chip challenge? Right. If it's just one chip in the foil, you ain't supposed to fucking eat that. Right. It was one of them, and the whole thing was 200 milligrams.

And I didn't realize it and then I will later I wake up and I only am I not sleep But I'm energized and I'm hired and I've ever been in my whole life And the podcast is in like three hours or four hours And I get there should be enough time no no Joe I was hot all day I was high through that whole day and then a little bit when I woke up the next day Wow, and it's not good. I

I mean. You were cool. I can live in that world, but I was just like, this is the day we having. We just going to have this kind of day. Yeah, you're going to wake up. You're going to eat some food. You might end up at a drum circle. Who knows? Thinking guys from Africa or France? Right. I'm not that high today. I'm a little high. Not unless you're on Flavor. I thought it was good. I was just...

But I was struggling, man. I was not clear-minded at all. Andrew's a professional, though. He'll carry it. He's good. Well, that show's great to be too high because there's so many people on the show. There's a lot of people that can carry things. Yeah. You know, there's always someone chiming in. That's the benefit of having a lot of people on the show. Yeah, yeah. Like, if you're too high and it's just you and the person, you're like, yikes. Well, see, the problem is not that I'm terrible when I'm high. It's just that I...

It's just stream of consciousness. And you've heard me just, you've heard the stuff that spills out of my brain when I'm just not, when I'm just regular. Right, right, right. So it was like, all right, I'm just saying whatever. Right. It was fun though. It was a great time. Yeah. Well, it's also you're protected. You're amongst friends. And I got, I love that I got to go to New York City without having anything else to do. So I got to like experience the city. Right. I still don't want to live here, but I get it.

I get it for a visit. Yes. I love it for a visit. I can't imagine Vegas. Yeah. We were just there for Kill Tony. It was amazing. I mean, it was cool for me to fly in with very minimal obligations. Just had to be a guest and have a good time and soak it all in. It was crazy, dude. It feels like living in an obstacle course.

Where he's like, I gotta get through shit just to get to the shit. Right, but people like that. It's a hustle. Excitement. It's a lot of activity. Dude, I'm telling you, watching Kill Tony go down in Madison Square Garden, that's another thing to me that I go...

This might not be real. This might be a simulation. This seems too crazy to have seen it from the beginning to see it at Madison Square Garden. Like this doesn't seem real. And not only see it at Madison Square Garden, but there's probably like 70 standing ovations over two nights. Oh, it's nuts. Yeah. There's so many moments that were so nuts. They were so fun. Yeah. It was so ridiculous.

But it was also just so bizarre to see it in such an enormous arena filled with people that love the show. I should have fucking been there. Oh, you should have went. Yeah, you should have went. Why didn't you go? What were you doing? Nothing. I just got back from New York. I was just exhausted. Jelly Roll sang New York, New York. First time ever in a three-piece suit and a fucking top hat. Black Keys opened up on Saturday. Oh, yeah.

It was insane. Dice went up first. It was insane. By night two, he was pretending he was my assistant because he did such a good job the night before that I hired him as an assistant. It was like a combination of a comedy show, pro wrestling, chaos, and a celebration of comedy. That's really what it is. You're Vince McMahon in the Kill Tony organization. It was crazy. I've only seen clips still. I haven't watched it back.

But when I do, it's so fucking surreal because I'm like watching it almost, you know, definitely like a fan because I'm, you know, just the Shane as Trump talking shit about Joe and Joe popping up. Like from my perspective, it was fucking awesome. But when I'm telling you, you just cooked that up right before the show, too. Oh, yeah. That was not something that was planned. So good. Yeah. Right before the show, I showed up and I wasn't even going to go on that day. I was just hanging out. I was on the panel the day before. And Tony's like, I got an idea.

He's like rubbing his fingers together. Oh, yeah. It was great. Because the whole silly Trump being mad that Rogan endorsed, even though he didn't, RFK Jr. And then having Joey Diaz go on after that was insane. It was just magic, man. Like I said, it was like a celebration of comedy. That's what it felt like. It's like comedy's back.

It felt like a celebration. What's so cool, what I was saying about the pro wrestling thing was, is when I was watching that clip, that was the first time I've seen what the people see. So when Trump's doing that, and all of a sudden, the director, Anthony Giordano, who actually directs the UFC, goes all the way to the back of the arena. So you see the entire stage. And there's just this tiny stairway in the middle, and you see something. And the crowd at that moment goes...

smoke from all four, five, six banisters or whatever it was. And the name on this crazy huge LED just Rogan, Rogan, Rogan. Were you wearing that white shirt? I think so. Which was actually perfect for the bit that I came up with 20 minutes before the show because I wanted him to intimidate Trump so Trump could do that silly thing where he reverses course. He's the best. He's the best. Great guy. He's a great guy.

watching him try to not laugh while he's saying that while simultaneously we're seeing adam ray who's a professional character and actor and comedian totally break his biden which he never does and he's

cracking up throughout that and Harland just so happens to be behind him who's a notoriously silly guy who's just cracking up and a fan we all Harland's the best to be able to have moments like that there

But again, it was like it was a celebration of comedy. Yeah. Like the Legends bucket when you kept pulling people out of the bucket. So cool. It's also a celebration of your creation, Tony. Like I see it, I'm like, oh, they deserve it, man. Yeah. You know, it's like, I look at it, I'm like, yeah, go, man. Fucking go, dude. Well, it's persistence. And, you know, if you keep getting better at things and you keep pursuing, it just grows. And that show grew organically. Yeah. There was no help. Well, the whole thing is about growth. Like, yeah.

that's really the coolest thing. Like, if you notice the pops of the Legends, which is maximum pop...

lot of the regulars and the golden ticket winners were almost if not getting that exact same pop because these people everybody know they're watching this guy have the biggest moment of his career and they remember when he was living in a van or trying to get to America yeah or fucking you name it had a drug addiction alcohol addiction

You know, bullied their whole lives. The inability to speak. Aaron Belisle threw a fucking Bluetooth killing in Madison Square Garden. It was amazing. And random bucket pools. These people who 10 minutes, five minutes earlier had no idea they were going to be on the biggest stage in the world. They've been waiting for hours. They signed up. They waited outside. And a couple of them, it was the first time they ever went on stage. Why?

That's gotta be unbelievable. That's nuts. Bro, you probably are in an alternative dimension where you even hear your voice on that microphone. Your first time ever on stage. Oh yeah. Yeah. And,

And that's why it gets tough. And the adjustment that I made for MSG, specifically learning from the other arenas that we've done, was when it is your first time or you're brand new a few months in and you're in an arena, they cannot help but think that tens of thousands of people are right there watching them. So it's very hard to get real answers out of them afterwards.

Different animal. So I realized that I have to blend in fucking thunder and lightning kind of throughout it.

you know, to be able to keep the momentum up. Yeah. Interviews are going to be tough. Even if the comedian kills with the minute, me going, tell me something weird about you. You wouldn't want us to know. It's so much harder in front of 15,000 people than, you know, 400 at the mothership on a Monday where it's kind of cozy. Well, it's 250 at the mothership. So it's, you know, that's,

such a fraction the roars like that Ari Matty got that Cam got that all these William Montgomery got it's crazy I like that Ari guy he's great I like him yeah he's impossible I've never met him but I like him he's a great guy there's so many freaks at the mothership right now that are fucking I just oof

They are crushing Tyler Fisher. But there's too much space between the S and the T. You're going to have to live with that. I'm going to keep it like that forever. You said that. You want to move the bus over? You're going to be a guest next week. I'm going to pull you in next week. I'm going to move it a little bit.

I'm going to move it a little bit more to the right. Oh, God, no. Oh, he's freaking out. I don't give a fuck. You know what we didn't do with smelling salts? Oh, shit. Yeah, there was no dance party this time. Let's wrap this up. I know, Brian, you're sad, but you got to give Duplessy respect. You have to. You have to. No one's sadder than me. All due respect, Duplessy, you got a hateable face. Well, congrats, champ. I just think he needs to do more interviews, get out there more, too, because he's a good guy. Why are they showing...

Michael Chandler KOing Hooker after he won. Maybe they're showing his comeback, right? Are they trying to set up Chandler and Hooker? No. How do you know? Because they're showing what Hooker's coming back from. They're an hour after the thing. Now they're on some other show. Right. No, I'm saying this is the wrap-up show, but these guys are showing Dan Hooker getting KO'd. Because he lost two in a row, right? Right, right, right. That's all they're doing. But I wonder if they're trying to set that up, because that would be exciting. Chandler ain't taking that.

But maybe he would take that if he can't get the Conor fight. No, he's waiting for that Conor. I know he's waiting for that Conor fight. I bet you it happens in December. There has to come a point in time where he hasn't fought for two years. I know, waiting for Conor. Yeah. Red pantyhose fight. Right. Yeah, Conor Francis was an animal. But what a crazy thing to have to sit around and wait. Sit around and wait. You can't do nothing about it. You can't do nothing. And you can't take a chance.

Go in there and fight somebody and lose, and then lose your spot, and then Conor's talking shit about you. Well, Conor was, because, yeah, Chandler's talking shit because Conor talks shit about Trump. You know, Chandler loves Trump. If you had to bet right now? They fight in December. Really? Yep. Really? What do you think? I'm the same guy that guaranteed. The French guy wins? Against Conor? What do you think? You think they fight? I don't think they fight. No? Ever? You think Conor ever fights again? Oof.

You know what? I don't think so. He's got like a half a billion dollars, man. Yeah, the whiskey's doing too good. He sold that whiskey company. Man.

The whiskey's done. Millions and millions of dollars. What do you mean it's done? He sold his portion. Right, he sold it. But I mean, he made millions. He has the money, but he doesn't. He doesn't have any stock or anything? I don't think so. He's done with it. He's still promoting it. He's pushing the stout, and he has to promote it. He made millions. Stupid millions. Millions. I know. It's hard when they make that much money. You got that much money. You got yacht money. I think that whiskey will taste good by the time Takana fights again.

Ooh, that's a burn. It's terrible. I

I do not like it. I have to agree with that. Well, it's a $20 whiskey. I haven't had it. It's like a cheap whiskey for like, you know. Well, you know what, man? I tried some old scotch and it ruined me. I tried like La Frog, some like 25-year-old Macallan, that kind of shit. I tried the old scotch. Once you drink that stuff, you're like, God damn. Or like Buffalo Trace, you know, that stuff. That's eight years old, man. When you can't get it, they won't make it any less than eight years old. That's great. And when you realize like that,

like how long it takes for whiskey to get good. And somebody, oh, this is a brand new whiskey. Well, of course it's terrible. Well, Connors isn't supposed to be that though, right? You're supposed to have like mix it. It's not like a sipping whiskey. It's like a party thing. It's college kids are putting fucking coke in it. It's like some Peaky Blinders shit. Yeah, bro.

You're getting fucked up by your place in bets on a fixed horse race. Yeah. Great show. I just started watching it. Fucking Peaky Blinders is great, dude. I'm on season four now. I'm on season two. It's so good. It's fucking good. One last little swig. Yeah.

Hell yeah. For the friend. Killian Murphy, that guy's a beast. Monster. They're doing a new 28 Days Later. They're doing 28 Years Later. Oh, really? Yeah. Remember that zombie? You ever see 28 Days Later? The zombie movie? Yeah. Best zombie movie ever. It was women. There were two of them. It was 28 Days and then 28 Weeks? Something like that. And then they're doing 28 Years? 28 Years, yeah. Okay. That's a long time. Bro, that first one is amazing. It was great, yeah. Because it's real close to what COVID was.

Fucking around in a laboratory. Isn't he the Riddler too now? Yes. No? Killian Murphy's the Riddler? No, no, no. It's not Killian Murphy. No, it's the boy. He's from that movie with Hugh Jackman. Paul Danham, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's the Riddler now. He was, what's his face? Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer.

He's great in Oppenheimer. Killian was great. He's a great fucking actor. He's got range. The guy who can play a gangster and a nuclear scientist...

Dude's been out for a fucking hot second. Spoiler alert. All I'm going to say, though, is the undercover agent that goes to the bar to work for him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

House of Dragons is all out? House of Borg. It's over, yeah. Oh. Yeah. You didn't like it?
