Hot Mike, Sugar Show, Dr. Timbo in the house. Fight Week, Boston. I guess this will go up probably. We're going to try for Thursday morning two days before the fight. How are you boys feeling? We're here, baby. It's fight week, title fight. It's crazy.

I keep getting asked, like does this feel like a bigger fight? But it just literally feels like another fight. What do you think? Yeah, it's the only thing different. We just started so far out. Holy fuck. long fight can you guys have been dialed yeah i was i was sparring usually i spar about eight weeks i was sparring 15 weeks out from this fight just because we knew that i had like we knew when the

date was it was like further out than we usually do so but yeah we've been dialed i think i remember the difference after abu dhabi like it was obviously a tough fight so yeah there was no like in your previous fights it was more like of a post fight always little little bendy maguski or something but Even Abu Dhabi, you were chilling and then... I knew how to get back to work. I knew I was going to fight the winner of Henry or Aljo. It's like a mild send in Abu Dhabi. Yeah, we had a good sign.

But then, like, we even tried to like be a bit of a bad influence. We're like, yo, like we're trying to get you to come out. And you're like, nah, bro. Like, I got to go to Tijuana. I got to get my... Do some rehab. Just kind of recover and fucking get back at it. So...

Yeah, we're due for a good bendy. Wait, you went to Tijuana for a rehab? No, we did stem cells after. Probably like a multi-purpose trip, I feel it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We went to Tijuana, we traveled down to Hong Kong over there in China. Like you could get rehab done in a lot of places. Tijuana is obviously.

Yeah, it's important. But yeah, we're due for a good bendy after this one. But also, I want to fight in December. You know, I want to fight in December in Vegas. That's kind of, I want to fucking stay dialed and to bust this shit out while I can while I'm young, well, I'm healthy. No, that's good. I mean, and us, too, we obviously do our thing, but we obviously try to, I'd never try to be like a fucking, I want you to be the best you guys. Yeah, you guys are always good about that.

you guys know that I need to fucking dial in and focus up what do you think like when did that kind of like click for you to stop higher competition just like all right well I never

I mean when I did see you guys I was going hard but that was just such a rare like it's not like I would do that I would go hard with you guys and then for the most part we don't really party so when you guys did see me

it kind of almost seemed like that I partied more than I did but it was just because every time I was with you guys I partied but we've never really ever had an issue with like all right we need to pull it back Like there was a time

Never in the past even I don't what do you think Never really A lot of the good times We have are just in the training room Yeah Fucking around having a good time Training hard

Being competitive Like that's where we have A lot of our fun Yeah I never felt like I was Like fuck I gotta dial it back a little bit I feel like we've always had a I always knew the goal

I always knew the main goal Was fucking you know To get to this spot But Yeah so I never really feel like We had an issue with it Definitely dialed it back though even a little bit more like you have to

yeah like you make sense to me the problem is too is when you do it like that when you're not actively partying the one time you do you go crazy oh yeah that's like for all of us yeah I definitely because we've turned it back you go crazy every night regardless no I'm kind of rebranded you've been died Steinie's going through the rebrand

gym focused motivational shit switch switch to sniffing sauce instead of that I could see this motherfucker being like a Joel Austin like a motivational speaker like just switching it up in the church rebranded you don't do it like watch any motivational shit

like David Gagins to get you fired up early on when he was like 18 19 we'd read a lot of like sports performance books and it was a lot like that we'd read books but for the motivational stuff

I don't know I just I feel like I don't I'm not really I'm fighting fucking Al Jemaine Sterling like if I don't have motivation I'm fucked I feel like it's naturally there you know I'm not I'm not world champ yet

even though it looks like I am compared to a lot of these guys But, yeah, I'm not running the one motivation. Tim, you say he's the best bantam weight of all time. So how did you guys, like, prepare for Sterling? This one's been like... What did you guys focus on most? Honestly, this one's been a little bit more stressful

because if it's, like, anyone, if it's anyone who's going to go out there and their game plans to strike with him, then it's, like, not as stressful because he's so fucking good. But, like, when someone's pure goal and they're an expert at grappling and they're expert at jiu-jitsu, and they're so funky on their feet and they're really strong it's like it's a fucking

tough fight tough tough fight um if any can do it though should can do it when was the last fight how long ago was that october eight months about fuck how different is it are you more excited to fight because last time you fought an abu do i feel like i fought like a couple months ago it doesn't not feel like it's been that long but we we got pretty much got back to work just kept training but it does not feel like it's been that long it's actually wild the think. Does that make a huge difference for you though? Like fighting in Abu Dhabi as opposed to fighting here? I mean, we left. We were there in Abu Dhabi for like three weeks before the fight. Obviously the time change and everything, which I think was huge that we did that.

Definitely. Yeah, yeah, it was huge. But I never found Boston. My first 10 UFC fights were in Vegas, Vegas, Vegas. So this is, yeah, it's all a little bit different, but it's fight week. It feels the same. It felt like against Peter was like an away game kind of though. It did. Yeah, that was the first time I definitely felt like looking out in the crowd being in the octagon looking out in the crowd seeing all the guys in their white suits that shit was a trip how like taxing

and tough was that fight I just watched it back I think like two days ago again and it was just a fucking war yeah I gave literally every fucking thing I had to you know in that fight I left it all on the line but that's what you got to do with these guys like

that's what I feel like I have to do against Aljo like you're you got to prepare to go there at the top every single fight from here on out like that's how my fights i have to imagine them going yeah he he fought peter twice didn't he alger yeah so do you guys watch that like watch when he fought peter and compare it to your fight yeah watch him quite a few times the dude the first the first fight he did peter beat his ass so bad like everywhere every single round then he got disqualified but it's crazy because peter's like scary Because if Peter finish you, he's going to knock you the fuck out.

He's going to cut you. He's going to knee. He's going to elbow you. He's going to batter your face. Like, if Aljo beats you, he's probably going to rear naked choke you. Yeah, Peter's scary. It's Aljo's styles harder for me, for sure, than Peter. But Peter's like a scarier dude.

Yeah. I feel like you'd fuck Peter up, though, Stainty. No, fucking way. That guy's scary as fuck. He's kind of feisty like that. I feel like you. I saw you tune up manager Drew. Yeah, that's true.

I was lit that shit I was even a sober bout that was after the Vegas fight right yeah that was funny I don't really do that shit like when you guys come around everyone wants to fight once we start drinking

this fucker is an yeah you instigate that shit he instigates it big time he loves that shit it's good for people it is good for people get a little squabble here and there

get their heart rate up you guys you guys been turn it up in the gym I've been trying new bro I've just been like I've been in and out of the gym for so long and I just kind of decided

like I'm like I really just want to stop doing like a month on like two weeks off. I just feel so good when I'm like it's got to be a light. It's got to be like a diet or I'm going to do it for six weeks. It's got like a I fucking work out at least once a day. I work out five times a week, not just this month. I'll do like six days a week and I'll do it for like six weeks and I'll make gains and then I'll kind of look in the mirror, get comfortable and then I'll be like,

fuck I want to go out and like. Celebrate it. Yeah, celebrate a little bit, wheel some chicks. And then you just kind of lose it, you know. Oh yeah. But no, I want to do it. I'm trying to do it. in like three months so i'm just gonna six days a week try to stick to like one send a week

because we still got happy dad shit which is like kind of the difference with us shit's fun too every time i've done happy dad shit with you guys i'm like god that was so much fun i could see how like it's just like you look forward to it it's you can do that shit every week easy and it's just part of the job like i have to i have to pull up the bars i have to show love to accounts that but it's just all about balance you know too and for 100% it'd be cool if you guys had like some mats at the Happy Dad headquarters and did a little Jiu-Jitsu private with all you guys once a week or something. I'm down.

That would be fine. I mean, I'm not really a fighter, bro. I've seen you scrap. Well, J-Jitsu, you don't have to be a fighter. J-Jitsu can be, it's like a fun sport. Use your mind, your body. It doesn't have to be like a fight. You're not going to get a black eye. I was supposed to spar with Dennis. We did him, what, two days ago? I watched that whole episode. Yeah, I was supposed to spar with him. He didn't show.

You know, he showed? Dude, he's not showing up to that Logan fight. See, I kept saying that. I kept saying that. kept saying that then you hear him on the pod uh he showed you love on there uh but he uh he uh sounds like he's confident he sounds like he's gonna show the last time he didn't show it sounded like he had a bunch of reasons could call him excuses i don't know but this fight but me too i will be surprised if he shows up yeah yeah or if it just happens i feel like something's gonna happen to where he did say logan's gonna keep competing in w e up until the match so that shit's dangerous

as fuck yeah that motherfucker is ruthless who was threatening to pull it if he keeps posting about Logan's girlfriend? It sounded like DeZone or Logan's team or someone. And then he rattled off 10 posts right after that. The way he was saying it was that Logan was trying to pull it or someone was, you know, someone on that end or was trying to. What do you think about that? Do you think there's no rules when it comes to trash talking or do you think that?

Personally, I don't want to bring anyone's family into it. I kind of, I remember having that thought like, okay, I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to bring anyone's family into it. I remember I posted a video, a Snoop Dogg yelling, oh, Malley, like a bunch when I fought Cheeto. And I was saying this was like Chito's girlfriend or something like that. Or Cheetos's mom, something like that. I'm like, that didn't feel good.

I didn't feel right. So I decided like I'm not going to make it personal or family, personal different with that individual, but I don't want to bring anyone's family into it. No one's mom, unless they're hot. No one's sister. Unless they're hot. No one's girl.

It's kind of fire when they do, though. It is. Logan's girl, like, she is attractive. So, like, it's not like, that's kind of why he's doing it, right? He straight out said she looks like a man and she's transitioning. He thought, Dylan said he thought she was a guy. Yeah. That, that's captain.

Dylan posted a photo with her too, right? Was that real? Realistically, I know Dylan, I love you, but like, he probably tried to ris her and struck out, you know? Was he a bigger guy than you thought? Yeah, he's a big, bro. He's a big boy, yeah. Probably, yeah. Because, I mean, Logan's big, athletic.

Like, I'm actually excited for that fight, more excited for that fight than KSI Tommy for sure. That's what he was saying, too, right? Yeah, but don't you think that that's all because of the shit talk and the marketing? 100% is the shit talk. I mean, he hasn't fought in, what, five years? Yeah. Like, isn't that crazy the fact that, and it's just all because of the way he's selling it and, like, tweeting? It sucks, too, because I feel like Aljo and I haven't really talked, like, too much shit about each other.

I think this fight's going to do really well. I think it's going to be a big fight, and it didn't have to go there. would it be bigger if we were like at each other's throat like that maybe maybe not but i ain't getting pay-per-view this fight so that's not a big deal no i think it'll do well without that kind of shit talking but i also think it has to be real like i think they genuinely don't really like each other oh yeah to where it's easy to i i don't genuinely hate aljo so i can't say you know i can't say i can't just like build a fight just to build a fight like me and chito we got real beef like that that fight's gonna be big ideally i go out there knock al joe out chito

pokes fucking pedro on the eye wins that me versus cheeto december fucking huge fight yeah i was just saying because it seems like bro like you have these less skilled guys but they're so good on social media that more people are tuning in to see them fight than like some of these ufc fights yeah i mean we'll we'll see did any real numbers come out with the jake paul night dia's thing i saw i saw i saw 450 000 that's what i saw to yeah Yeah, I heard with pay-per-views You literally don't know Anybody could kind of say a number

And that's not a real Actual number that's good It's not a public stat So I don't know how accurate they are But I mean 450 That could say I would have thought it did more So usually I feel like they're way like I did 2 million

Usually it sounds like they're too much But that one could be real if that Or at least accurate Who do you think takes that fight Logan or Dennis If it happens Boxing Logan's gonna beat him off dude he just seems taller he's in it he's faster i don't know if he's in it dylan danis it's like you see him sparring you see clips of him hitting mitts it's like he said he's been training with pahara

alex pahado who is it one session well he said did he seem like he was training with him i don't know yeah that's what he said uh yeah it's hard it's hard to say i don't know i'm fucking tuning i was i tuned in jake nate i was hyped for that like i get those fights get me excited who do you want to see win in that logan versus uh dylan neate versus jake like who are you pulling for. Oh, I like Jake. I feel like I want to see Jake win and keep going. I want to see this motherfucker keep fighting and build big fights like that.

Nate didn't even lose, though. It's crazy how he does that. He's just like, he's still fucking Nate Diaz. Literally, though, in that fight, Jake's got a puncher's chance. Like, four ounce gloves. Oh, and MMA you're saying? MMA. Were you saying to MMA?

No, I was talking about boxing. Boxing. And MMA, yeah, I think Nate chokes him out. It just seems like when you watch that, Nate's just there to get that bag. Like, he doesn't give a fuck. It doesn't affect his legacy at all, right? It would have if he got knocked out. I don't know if it affects his legacy, but it would have made a big difference.

I think it would have been like... People would have said it wouldn't have, but I personally would have. Jake looked good, dude. And to be able to deal with Nate's pressure, people don't see... Like, if you never boxed, you never had someone kind of pressure in you like that, that is exhausting and it's a whole other level to deal with while punches throwing at you. So Jake actually was very impressive in that fight. Yeah.

What about Musk fucking... in, uh, what, suck? Yeah, must suck. I feel like that would just be gross, bro. I feel like we all want it to happen, but it would just be, I don't think take your fucking clothes off and go fight, fucking manager

Drew in your underwear. It looked like that. I bet you, I bet you Elon went through like a real training session and he's like, all right, I'm not near what I thought of us. Suck's kind of been doing it a bit too, right? Like he's been training jihitsu a lot and stuff. I don't know if Elon's a big motherfucker

though, though. He is big. He's big. I saw a George St. Pierre talking about how strong of a guy he is. He's like really fucking strong. But he's not going to go out and say he's like weak too, right? Obviously. Like he's got to say something good about him. Yeah, that was the only thing.

Maybe his hands were just brutal. Like, he had no grappling at all. So he just had to be like, oh, well, he's strong. Yeah, true. He had to say something good. What's been your biggest difference in this camp as compared to yawn? Just sparring. Like, with Peter, it was mostly a kickboxing fight.

Like in my head, like this is going to be mostly a kickboxing fight. Um, with Aljo, it's 100% not going to be just a kickboxing fight. Like, that's, that's the biggest thing. Mentally, just knowing, like, he's going to be, shoot, like, that's he's shooting for his life in there. And, uh, that makes someone very dangerous. It's killer be killed for both of us, which makes even me even more dangerous. I'm going to find his chin and, uh, that's it.

I got to find his fucking chin multiple times. What was the routine like, like a, like, like, day in the, it's, that's been the same that was nothing's really changed i feel like i've always had camps dialed in i feel i've always trained like a champion like my lifestyle is world champion and it's been world champion for a long time um like it's train recover train that that's just our life and it's enjoyable it's not even it's not exciting it's not like you you don't it's not it's kind of boring if you think about it like but it we find the enjoyment in it Does, like, not fighting for eight months, does that affect you at all in your head?

No, no. Like I said, I didn't even feel like it was eight months, but I can perform any time. I took two years off, came back, had a first round finish, no issue. Once I walk out, lights are on, my feet are on the canvas, Dana's sitting right there, boys are in the corner, I'm going to perform. It's not going to be an issue of that. Gambles ripping two C-bombers. Oh, yeah.

I'm hoping Gambles fucking storms the kick. shirtless after I want you to put the belt around me tackle Dana Aljo said that if he wins he's moving up to 145 or win or lose actually I think he said yeah he's been saying that for a while he's also been saying he's been dealing with a bunch of injuries for a while so it's like it's hard to even take anything serious what he says because he was saying how injured he was against the Henry fight and then he went did a five-round war with Henry and then accepted this fight

and he was saying he was going to move up move up so it's hard to say I think he likes the attention of that he's a big bantam weight Like for some reason some people like that they weigh a lot And they have to cut a lot of weight And they get that that's his form of getting attention Not necessarily is You know he's not put on the sickest performances But always a big bantam weight

That's his form of attention So I think him saying that a lot People talk about it Like he goes out The only fucking headlines you see of Aljo Is he might be moving up the feather weight It's wild I saw him say in an interview

I think yesterday he said that like he doesn't think that you deserve the shot even what do you say to that well i beat peter who was the number one ranked guy i feel like that literally is solidifies earning the shot i'm the big i mean if it's it's a business i'm the biggest name of the bantamway division and i beat the number one guy so no i would agree i think that the divisions like is it not slowly even but it's just getting more and more stacked now too right yeah the division's like it kind of happened to what like like the last year like I feel like I made it popping yeah I kind of made it poppin um like you had that

run in with the marab too with the jacket and shit like that yeah the narrative that he stole my jacket i fucking handed it to him but that was did he keep it no no no he had to buy a replica because that was that was only another thing is weird it's like these guys don't get attention for their fights so when he got the whole jacket thing he had to buy another one a replica of my replica and like he ran with that shit like it was the only time he ever got any views but yeah no he didn't he didn't take it or he didn't steal it I got it still so if you win this fight you said you wanted to fight in December who do you think that would be against I mean ideally Cheeto wins me versus Cheeto would be massive um I got a little call out I'm thinking about

too I'll wait and save that for for the octagon but uh yeah there's a couple big fights I know I know a couple guys are out injured some of the top guys so we'll see I got I got some names in my mind that's crazy it's just crazy that like like how long we've known you now Just the fact that you guys are fighting for the belt now It's just like I'm just proud of you guys You guys have been so fucking dialed Since the time I've known you

This is the most dialed I've seen you guys Just like away fucking locked in It's weird The things that have happened to Like him having a baby and stuff Because we very easily could have took the Johnny Menzel route Oh did you guys watch that shit Yeah

Untold Johnny football Yeah of course That could have been me Well we've had days with him in Arizona Oh yeah we've parted with him We lived that life for a couple of nights That could have been me 100% I'm lucky

get and get he got rich and famous too young yeah see i was i was slowly kind of built yeah if i would have had that money that fame like that at 2021 i'd have been fucking you'd be fought i'd be shawney shoney mma i know i saw that yespn guy brett asked you like yo why don't you live downtown oh god like come oh that would not be good for me i know that too it's not like i know i've very disciplined and i can i like to think like well i could live downtown and fucking still No way, not a fucking shot. Well, even us, that's why we're in, like, Orange County, like, an hour south instead of, like, L.A. or Miami.

Because, like, you could say you won't get tempted. But when you're in a city like that and it's right there at your fingertips, it's a lot harder to turn it down than people think, right? Yeah, your environment. I mean, we live out in, I live in Waddell now, Peoria way out there in Arizona. So did you move into a new house now? I haven't officially moved in. Yeah, we've been slowly moving stuff over after the fight. We'll start moving in.

Got a little farm. So I'm just trying to stay out there. So is it even farther out now? It's further out, but it's closer because of the highways. But it's the same distance from the gym, which is important. I don't want to be really more than 25, 20, 25 minutes from the gym. The only time we see chicks is at Target. Yeah, dude, that's a huge thing.

I don't even like being around sexy chicks that often. It just gets me distracted. But Target's a good spot if you need some eye candy. Tugs or no tugs are tugged done too? I haven't had a tuggy in. a long time. I've been stopping in for a massage here. I was thinking of stopping in for a tug in

in Boston somewhere here. That'd be sweet. Just get a quick little massage. Oh, God. A little milking table. Boys struck out in New York hard, man. Really? New York.

I'm on a dry streak somehow. No way. I swear. Damn. How was I consisted of like two weeks, though? A month. No, no, not a month. You're like three days.

Like two weeks? Two weeks? Every chick I'd just been get has been like, You kind of like, you know, you get a little makeout kill and they want you to take them out on a date. Oh, facts. Yeah. Yeah.

I've been liking your pod, though. You've been killing it. Thank you. Yeah, I wanted to have you on there, but you're like, I'm trying to re-you're in a rebrand. You want me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, right? No, I say, uh, hey, Stani calls me, well, let's do a pod Thursday, my guy, my God, I bet. Hey, dude, I got so fucking drunk last night. I'm not going to make it.

Oh, yeah, you've completely. So I don't want to hear that. Okay, yeah, I don't want to hear that. No, it's okay. I didn't put in my schedule I'm like this motherfucker Yeah It was a huge

I know That was after the Brecky Hill episode Yeah Yeah Partied a little bit that night That's okay You gotta do what you gotta do champ But yeah

You've been doing a good job On the pod Been getting some sexies on there Yeah Stani's pot is dope I like it I like the funny It's found the niche now

Yeah Yeah thank you I appreciate that And there's plenty of sleuths out there Not that the girls You've had on her sluts They all seem like Very good young women

But there's plenty of them out there Yeah exactly But you're you're kind of out of the game aren't you? Yeah well When I'm in camp, I definitely am out of the game. Like, I'm not trying to fuck chicks out of the game. Unless Danny, unless we have a threesome, like, then it is.

But me on, me by myself, no. It's hard. Danny's, we had a baby. Her hormones change. You know, I'm getting more popular. She's not liking the idea of it. So we got to, I got to figure out, I got to just lie and cheat. No, sure.

Just like everyone else. Yeah, he's got to be like everyone else. I mean, before you were more public about it. Like, you were like, I'm in an open relationship. But now I just think, yeah. No, I got a... You don't have to blast that shit on every pod now. Yeah, I know 15 weeks

I just straight up fucking dialed in But after, it's like, I want to go fucking party with the boys And I've always been honest with her As far as like, hey, this is what the boys do When we go out. I'm going out to find a chick. And now that she knows that, because I've told her that so many times, I'm like, hey, I'm going out with the boys

And she instantly like, she's like, you know, fuck chick. I'm like, ideally, yeah, but so we got a, I mean, it's not like that. It's a tough situation, right? It is, it is. And I love her and I want to be with her. So it's, it's like I don't want to hurt her feelings but it's also like I gotta be me I can't not be me

but then at a resort a zoo at resorts world our girls went to try to find us more girls and they're like it's way hard and we thought oh my god yeah sometimes I tell her I'm like we went out I tried I couldn't she like yeah right I'm dead serious and then we were at resorts world in Vegas and like all right you girls go out there find us some chicks and they went out there trying to and they're like they were all with their friends by what I was like see it's fucking tough damn that's pretty dope how do you how do you like orchestrate that kind of relationship takes years years and years we kind of started around the same time talking to our girls listening to podcasts listening to other people that have been in an open relationships a lot changes when we have a baby like the girls hormones

and and there's a lot of stuff that changes in in her and danny but um we've put her through some shit but she's good we love each other i don't think you can get to that kind of relationship in like two years three years like it's going to take serious level of trust and love for them to be okay with it and just trust that you're you're not looking for someone else yeah tim we guys have the same thing going yeah like what the fuck and we're all ski bros aren't we i don't i'm not you guys are brothers yeah it's a huge that's a big bonding thing that's the only reason i did it yeah stony joined and then our filmer sean hainey flew her out to oc for a romantic weekend yeah yeah so it's just how we bond baby yeah brotherhood the brotherhood yeah that's tough

Oh, that's fucking funny, bro. You guys, like, actively looking for a girlfriend or not really, like? I'm trying to have what you guys have, but, uh, straight up. I'm not actively looking, definitely not, no. I was just, I was locked up for a while, but now I'm just like, dude, it would take me a lot right now for the next, I don't know, two years or something. Like, it's just such a big commitment, man. Actively looking, I feel like, is that the way to do it or is, like, shit like this just kind of, when I met Danny was just ran, as fuck. I was not actively looking. I was just trying to

fuck and then it turned into something. I wonder, but I've never had to actively look. I think if I met a girl that I like, you just fell in love with you can't help it, right? But it's just like that wop. Damn, it's such a big it's like a whole other job that you have to, rightfully so, right? For sure. Girls expect

a lot. Especially like, I mean, if they don't have a passion of their own too and especially your status and would it be fun going out with the boys anymore if you got a girl lock, like it would even be fun? I always say the best thing about being single is like not even like actually fucking it's just like getting together with the boys at the pre everyone's fired up like it's the act of knowing you're going to go out and wheel i told even

it's just like all the boys are single you walk in like crush a few before you go out and you're like oh i went out with danny let's wheel tonight i went out with danny i tried it again because every time we went out i fuck up i'm making out some shit it doesn't end well so i'm like i'm going to try it again it's been a long time danny come out and i told tim hey let's go out i'm going to bring Danny, he's like, I'll probably just stay home. He literally didn't come out because I brought Danny. That turned into a shit show, too. Wait, why?

You left him hanging because he brought his girl? No, I invited him. I'm like, hey, you want to come? He's like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, because he knows, like, it's not the same with just the boys. Yeah. What about, and then maybe if it gets to that point, you just pull the Adam 22.

Yeah, could always do that. Just watch your girl get fucking bent over. Is that what you like? What? That's what he's looking for. Oh, is what he's looking for. The Adam 22 with the Jason Love thing. Yeah, yeah.

That's what he was doing. it so he had to let his girl get smashed oh that's not gonna happen no i'm fucking top g i got status yeah you know what i mean yeah i got too much status to let that happen it's a tough it's a tough thing man what's uh what's your cardio are you are you gonna get locked up soon or no no no i would do it if it could be like an NBA situation where like on the road anything's you're fucking like kev and then you come back and your family's back home you know what i mean the basketball lifestyle yeah which i think you should be on he's got steenny's creeping his way into a relationship though are you yeah really really yeah are you just went to

europe to see a check no way yeah what the fuck bro easy i brought gabe too so it was like okay that makes it even weird yeah that made it a little gay but no but yeah no i just uh i've been talking to this chick it's just uh i'm trying something different try to say hey baby girl like she's a cool girl focus bro like then i'm partying every night i would be i would not 100% not be in the position i'm in right now if i didn't meet danny and had the focus and was like had a good good partner to come home to I would not be where I'm at 100% a girl definitely holds you down right

locks you the fuck down in a good way and sometimes like come on baby daddy's need to fly yeah like sometimes partying with the boys all the time is not it's not the answer it's balanced and then the next day it's bad for me mentally it's so fun to party with the boys but those next days where you're low it's like fuck

tissues are pink it's like I can't do this anymore oh god it's tough that's what you get though what goes up must come down you have that fucking crazy high crazy fun comes down to that little depressive anxiety state that's why we like jiu-jitsu in training so much because we're never really super high like oh my god that's the craziest night ever but we also don't have those lows to where we're really ever depressed or anxious we kind of just stay at a medium a happy medium where we're training eating good food doing our cold plunge our hot tub doing our recovery stuff like finding enjoyment in that just keeps us at a steady fucking level to where we're never really dealing

with like uh at least for me and never really like depressed or anxious how do you guys go about this week when it comes to like cutting weight like is this like whatever's here like good enough to do that and there's like um we we confirmed that they have a sauna and a hot tub here um if not we would have just had to find somewhere reach out somewhere else that that had one but yeah as long as i have a hot tub or sauna i'll make weight but yeah emeron i know he's talking to the people here to make sure we can go in late at night and use it because i don't want to cut weight at fucking 5 p.m. And then it be like a couple pounds away all Thursday night and then wake up on Friday morning

because I won't sleep for shit if I cut that early. So the ideal you want to be dehydrated as least amount of possible. So I'll cut the majority of the weight Thursday night, wake up, cut three, four more pounds Friday morning before way ends. Damn. Yeah, it sucks. But I'll probably do the last Friday morning in my bathtub. Like would you, for breakfast is more in bland chicken?

Yeah, it's some fucking five ounces of cold chicken. There ain't no fucking where to heat it up in this bitch. and then a couple of blueberries for breakfast. That's it. Yeah. And then I've been drinking about two liters or two gallons of water, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Wow. Or Sunday Monday, Tuesday.

And I just been peeing like 15, 20 times a day. It's fucking ridiculous. That's crazy. I know. I don't understand how you guys do that. And then also do all the media obligations that you got to do all week. Like, that's so fucked. What do you do to find a balance and escape all this stuff during fight week?

Like, during fight week? Yeah. I'll watch. Like, I've been. Dude, I'm fucking Survivor is my favorite show ever. I'm literally trying to watch every fucking season ever. So, like last night, I threw on a couple episodes, Survivor, just chilled. Today, woke up.

Jerry Springer. I was watching some Jerry Springer on YouTube. That shit slaps. And then I got a bunch of media today. So I'm pretty busy, but when I'm not busy, I'm literally just chilling in my room. Like, we'll just be chilling watching something on YouTube or not a whole lot. I feel like Fight Weeks are very calming for me. I feel like more calming for me than I don't think I'm,

a naturally calm person. But from a fight week, I feel like very calm. Fight day, I feel very calm. Sometimes, though, like doing the interviews and they ask the exact same question, like 10 interviews in a row. Yeah, so what have you been doing different this camp against Aljo? I'll get that question probably about six, seven times today from a, I'll do a media for 10 minutes and then like a different Zoom for 10 minutes and different zoom for 10 minutes.

There's like 10 minute segments for like an hour. And they all ask pretty similar questions. And I'm like, if you had that button, just go click. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Just fucking. What about your press conference chirps?

Have you been practicing this? Oh, dude, I had a good one for Cody Garbrandt. I know you practiced or you have some in the bank. I usually do, or at least to try to. My last press conference showing sucks. I didn't have a good one.

I had two good things to say, but I've thought of them after. I'm like, this is with yon, right? Yeah. I love you. The hooker.

I love you, but he won the press conference. 100%. When he said I look like a hooker, I want to say like the lady boys. been fucking over in Thailand i i wanted i thought of that after but that would have been slapped i had another good one that i could have used but this one would have been good with cody garbrand i was going to say uh well i might just save it for next time i'm gonna save

it i had a good one for cody but he he just recently pulled out he was supposed to fight up my buddy mario who i trained with and uh yeah cody pulled out last minute had some kind of of injury do you think aljo's gonna be coming out talking a lot of shit he kind of take he takes some like light shots yeah he does i mean that he definitely does not like heavy shit talking but we're both kind of like talking shit a little bit chirping here and there but yeah i'm sure he'll talk shit i mean he's a fucking ban to my goat right now he can talk all the shit he wants i can talk shit too but like i said it's got to be genuine it's got i got i got to i can't make shit up just to you know what i mean it's got to feel right but i know chito's gonna be up there

pedro's gonna be up there um yeah that's that's some a lot of history there yeah i don't remember yeah corey and our cody and mario were supposed to be up there so i don't know what gonna have but i'm not i'm not feeling too confident this press con i don't got too many i wish i had like some good one liners usually we have a couple good ones maybe i'll think of some shit got a couple days if you guys think of anything funny yeah i got you yeah we'd love that i want to say fucked up shit but i can't like i got to also got to limit it too you know what i mean why don't you just fire those on socials what do you mean like on instagram or twitter save that for that the fucked up yeah yeah yeah yeah i got oh it's usually half his ideas i'm like

ah i'd be a good one but i care not like that but Yeah, so, but yeah, I don't know. Press conference Thursday is literally the, like, basically you don't drink water Thursday. Like, you're really dehydrating yourself Thursday and your calories are very limited. So having a press conference that day is tough. Your brain's not, you're not fucking solid. You're not, you know, you're not the smartest you are usually. And so we'll see.

We'll see. I might have something. What do you think about the, what's going on with McGregor right now? Do you think that he's, like, is he actually going to fight again? Or is like, do you think him and Chandler will still happen? He recently said he wants Chandler in December I don't know if he's Sada shit I don't know about all that but I would love that

I mean I'm trying to get on that card too So Chandler McGregor December I mean I don't know who has to sign off on that I don't know if it's like you saw to say no You literally can't fight or if it's like all right Chandler has to sign I don't know Does it become public knowledge when he like enters the pool again Or like could he already be in it

Like it would probably be like a huge story Because he hasn't entered it again Yeah Yeah because he said he needs two clean tests They all fucking test him Thursday, Friday before the fight. I don't know how that works. Yeah, I would assume it would be public knowledge if he re-entered. But I love when he goes off on Twitter.

You can tell you took a couple nose blowies. I know. That's probably why he's not in the pool, right? It's fire. Well, Coke's fine. He probably passes the first one and then like. No, his blowies are fine. I think it's just the steroids that he's on aren't fine or that he's.

Yeah, if you test positive for cocaine, they're not going to. People cheer. Yeah, people like that. Did you see he, like, called out KSI in the ring? I wonder if he was on. I didn't see the actual video yet. He looked a bit. Did he look a little bit?

Exactly. How do you see Saturday night playing out? Mentally, you have to prepare for a fucking war. You have to prepare this fight obviously is different than every other fight I've been in. It's five-fives rather than three-fives, two extra rounds, ten extra minutes, basically a whole other fight. I have to prepare mentally for five-fives. But every single fight I go into, I can picture me. stopping them in the first round I've done it so many times throughout my career

it's how a lot of my fights play out so it's hard not to think okay and I know I could catch him like I know I can drop him I know I can land my fists on his chin so it's hard for me not to predict or say that I finish him early but also I have to be prepared to go 25 minutes yeah you always tout how good you sleep like you're the only guys that post your sleep on Instagram yeah but I And do you for that? How do you sleep before the fight? I never have an issue sleeping before the fight.

I'm always pretty good at being able to just fall asleep. I play meditation, kind of just follow my breath, end up falling asleep. Thursday night, the night before weigh-ins, that's the night you don't fucking really sleep. Your body feels like it's kind of dying. It's weird feeling. But I also know, I was going to have to cut more weight than me. He's going to feel worse than I am. And just knowing that makes me feel better.

I'm like, oh, if I already feel better, knowing. he's suffering worse because he wants he weighs more he's just bigger guy so that makes me feel better have you guys heard if anyone like cool's coming to the fight or not um i don't know yeah i haven't really to be honest i pay a least amount of attention to my own fights and fight weeks and like i don't watch any of the embedded or any of the countdowns or anything i just kind of stay off all that so i'm not sure you got a lot of i fucking love the embeddeds get you fired up the monday after do you watch though yeah monday usually after the fight If I win, I go and watch everything.

If I lose, I'm like, fuck this life. Yeah, but you got a lot of people that show you love. Like, Joey B. Yeah, yeah, Joey B. Do you have any other guys that, like, hit you up like that? Jared Leto freaking loves you. Yeah, Jared Leto. He loves me.

That's cool. You think that, like, if he went Saturday, that's probably your best time to get, like, a chick that you would not have a chance with, right? Um, I mean, that comes down to Danny's okay with it because Danny's going to be here, obviously. And when I go through fight camps, like, she's going through fight camp, too.

dealing like she's helping me do all my things so you know that night's a big night for for her too so but ideally yeah i mean hopefully we could score some fucking strange i would love that i would celebrate like that bro we invited karenna to the fight yeah no i heard she coming she's like i might have a little three-way competition for that really yeah us three might be competing for that us three yeah yeah i'll bow out of that i was four she yeah she might have a redhead fetish you never know girls do there is a couple literally a couple girls that do fucking Steve I miss I feel like I never get to see Steve every time it's like he'll be here Saturday every yeah well I see him that fucker we blacked out lost 500,000 and we'll see him

every time in Vegas at the fights I'm like hell yeah to see Steve it's been a while no fucking Steve he just goes so hard so early I respect it he's like a big day like evening guzzar and then the night he's just dead right dead in bed yeah I haven't seen that fucker in a minute what do you think after this after this win how does your career change and like becoming a champ what does that come with like business wise and responsibility wise had you see your life changing you know i just get back to the gym get back to work once you're champ you have a fuck i have a target on me anyway look at my fucking hair people want to beat me up they want to fight me i'm the biggest name in the division i have a target on me

regardless if i'm champ when i'm champ i'm gonna have you know it's back to the gym for me business wise yeah i think there's going to be a lot of cool opportunities um that present themselves uh And I, but, but again, I just have to stay, stay disciplined, stay dialed in. Are you going to braids on a fight? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll do the fucking afro. It makes you decide that's what you're going with. I do braids every fight.

I'll do fro press conference. Braids fight. I hate my fucking hairs in my eyes, dude. Drives me crazy. Yeah. Everyone was complimenting you at the, what fight was that, Vegas? I don't know. Everyone was saying you're looking sexy.

Who is? I was looking good that night. I had a good fit. I heard like three compliments from three different birds. Oh, Jack Harlow. Yeah. Form and he's like oh my god Like a couple of last movie

I was Jack and I was like yeah So how long does it take from like start to finish From my hair I did about four and a half five hours Saturday just to go blonde And then the coloring process Is actually not as bad That took about

Two and a half three hours Boys I got to rip up piss bad You guys keep chat What's your week like? This week the work's done bro Just focus on keeping him Like good vibes around him keep his mindset sharp and just confident how do you do that just be around and tell him what

tell him just remind him what he already knows how fast he is how accurate it is how people get anxiety when they fight him on the feet because they're not sure what way he's moving he he literally can knock people out with all four limbs and there's not many people especially at bantam weight that can knock people out with all four limbs uh so literally just try to focus on what we can control how different do you think your guys is dynamic is than a lot of these other fighters and coaches. Because you guys are like fucking best friends. Yeah. Like trained together. Everything together.

Probably quite a bit different because I mean, he's not very good with like authority. People that are trying to boss him around and tell him you need to do this. You need to do this. He's a smart kid too. So he likes to decide what's best for himself. So I try to sometimes coach him without him even know he's being coached. But growing up together knowing what he's thinking in certain scenarios, knowing his tricks and stuff for 10 years and his trust in me when I'm in the corner.

is a pretty big big thing for sure you guys never scrapped you on a disagreement what if you disagree on something uh we disagree on shit all the time but then we just try to find common ground common ground yeah we disagree on shit yeah how's your guys's part doing timbo show uh timbo sugar show baby we do it we do it once a week stay consistent sometimes we just kind of sometimes i say the same shit twice or three four or five times carry it on but it's not really our main goal we just show up and just shoot the shit so it's like we've been doing it for damn near four years now every single sunday 200 and how many 47 episodes something like that yeah sometimes like i said our lives aren't like super exciting so if there's not

like a lot popping in the news or like ufc's got a bunch of shit going on we don't really have much to talk about because we literally train you know seven eight nine times a week and then like we don't we won't go out anywhere so sometimes it's kind of boring but if there's something popping in the news it'll be good it's usually pretty good but it stays consistent we've had a very very consistent like little rise especially with the fights coming up it always kind of bumps up a few thousand stays consistent bumps up so but like we we started it just mainly started it to keep ourselves um accountable like let's just stay on this good path let's talk about let's preach you know hydration staying hydrated sleeping good basically was just trying to try to teach people the

shit that we learned that kind of made us feel happy, not anxious. Because anxiety and depression is such a huge thing in this fucking world, especially for people around our age, young. A lot of people are, and I swear it's not that fucking tricky. Like, a lot of people think it's their brain or it's their life or it's just your lifestyle. Like 99% of people that bitch about that shit is like, it can be fixed. And it's not going to be fixed overnight. It's not going to be like, I fucking slept decent last night.

I hydrated and I ate good. And I still feel like this. This shit like that takes, you know, do that for a week. Do that for two weeks. Do that. Make it your life. You're going to feel a lot better. That's kind of why we started the podcast because we started learning about that stuff

and improving our health. And we talk about it. We get back to it every once in a while on our podcast. We probably need to get back to it more because I think a lot of people benefit from it. But for the most part now, we just kind of bullshit about fights coming up and stuff. So you're saying you don't really deal with anxiety or depression ever? No, not ever. Dude, I 100%.

the worst it is after I've been like after a hard been like fucking like not sleeping and like staying out all night will make you feel not the best um hits us all now too right now that we're older and shit you like you just gotta be smart I mean you gotta make sure you hydrate really good

you got to make sure the next day you're like okay today's a recovery day today I'm gonna eat good I mean after you have a hell of a night you just want to eat like shit your body's just craving fucking pancakes and french toast and you eat that and you make to feel worse So you just got to know, like, all right, if tonight's the night, tomorrow's, tomorrow's recovered day. Like, we're going to, let's get feeling good.

No, yeah, it is crazy. The post-benders are just like, I can't do them anymore, bro. I know. I can't even. I feel like you've been saying that for like four years. I said every pod. You literally do that every time. You literally do that I talk to you.

I'm done. Rebranding. I am, though. Straight up, bro. I'm in the gym every day. I don't think you've been on like a bender. No. You've been in the gym, your face looks a little slimmer.

You look like you're slimming up. I know, you guys immediately compliment him and didn't say anything to me. I think he was like the same or what? No, you look a little bit slimmer. We're going to the gym every day, bro, dieting. Are you? Not drinking much.

Doing a little cardio. The last two days, did you? He's drinking a habit. Both. Yeah, no, lifting. Yeah, they're too good, though. I mean, you can just sip on. The grape's too far, bro.

Fucking, I've actually never had grape. That's what I'm craving a little grape. But yeah, they just go down too easy. They're just hard. What does your cardio look like? Like, for training? Like, when? When you're running and shit.

How far are you running and all that? Bro, I've been doing these stairs. Holy fuck, bro. These stairs up like 15 minutes from my house. They're called Victory Stairs. Straight up this fucking mountain. How many steps? 340.

340 steps. And it's like my fastest time up. It was like two minutes. Like trying to sprint. It's kind of hard to say sprint because it's so fucking inclined. But we've been doing, we're doing those. Those fuck you up. Bad assault bike.

The airline. That's been, that's like probably. one of my main ones and then just like steady or like like both both i've i've sat on it for 45 minutes to an hour at a like a pretty high heart rate not maxed out heart rate but like pretty high um i'll sit on that bitch for 45 minutes 60 minutes sometimes damn yeah tough yeah and then uh hit mitt's hard as fuck obviously sparring grappling is fucking exhausting so mixing in cardio with what we do fighting and then doing it on the outside like sprints and shit like that it's so dope i love like mentally I love working out now too

like I don't I think that's the only thing that really like keeps me alive you gotta find enjoyment in it because if you're like if you don't like going to the gym you're not going to keep going to the gym like very few people can be like like the cold punch for us like I fucking hate getting into the cold punch but I do it

but if you hate going to the gym for an hour the chance of you actually doing it are very rare so you gotta find something that you can do that's hard that's a workout even if it's like playing basketball with the homies little three on three or something like that's exhausting that's a good workout and it's fun like doing something you enjoy doing or if you can like get on a treadmill and just force yourself because every time you suffer and go through something like that your day is

so much better your next meal is so much better the anxiety leaves anxiety's not there yeah you're too tired to be anxious i'm trying to do more shit now where it's just like i'm trying to just do content around it so it just keeps me more accountable i think on the knelt two channel We're going to do a, like, upload a different workout video every week, like with someone different. Probably good because a lot of these guys watching are probably doing one with you guys. 100%. A lot of people watch them probably fucking want to get to the gym. They're just not.

So if you guys posting videos, like, doing it. And then if we're not making gains each week, like, it just looks bad. Yeah, I told everyone just fucking, like, roast me seriously. Like everyone, it's like having a bunch of friends that are just, like, keeping you accountable to in a way. For sure. But no, I want to come out and work out with you, boys. That would be so dope. Yeah.

What else you guys got on the rest of the week? It's Tuesday. I mean, we still got Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday is the fight. I'm just doing a bunch of visiting a bunch of liquor stores. Nice. I think we're going to go to, like, Rhode Island, just all around. I think we'll do some shit with Dana, do some meetups and shit. Do you guys go to the way in, the press conference.

Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. Press conference way in. You said Steve? It's your Saturday? Yeah, right? Saturday. Yeah.

Fucking Steve. So we'll just be chilling here. I just wanted to fucking be here for the fight week energy, man. Yeah. You feeling it? I mean, like, for me, I'm fired up. I know when there's a big fight coming out, I can feel it. And then I know when there's pay-per-views and I'm like, I'll watch, but it's not like a big fight.

But I just, I can't gauge this one because it's me. I feel like all my fights are, and I never feel like they're huge, but they're big fights because obviously it's me. But this one feels big. Yeah, it feels big to me. I mean, the card didn't play out too great. Like, it's not like a fucking stacked card. It was a lot better. Cody and Mario on there obviously isn't going to be, Mario still on there.

but Cody was a everyone wants to see him get knocked out again there was um Cheeto was supposed to fight Henry on this card Rob Font was supposed to fight songie donks there was a lot of changes that happened to this card um to where it's the whole card isn't as stacked but it's still it's still a decent card yeah well I think it's gonna hype up throughout the week too for sure yeah fuck yeah how do you guys know like when a new app comes out like to start grinding on it early like threads or say Snapchat or anything um I'm not really like a huge like get on the app right away like the threads one even like I didn't give a shit

about it like I think John like hit us up as I like get this so I downloaded it same I don't know like there's not too many new apps that really come out right I feel like if a new app comes out you don't necessarily have to be the first you should have to wait till it pops off and then be better than everyone else yeah I agree I don't think you go to go to audience will you know come

over to there but Snapchat's fire I see you guys be posting a lot on Snapchat yeah that's one we're taking more seriously now too I fucking post more on Snapchat you post a lot on that too bro I fucking day it's basically watching a daily vlog every of my day and it's pretty cool right like do you watch a lot of other people shit yeah i watch your i not a lot i watch your guys is probably a couple chicks no i try not to i don't you don't like looking at it not right now not at this point like i get smart i start barking

i'm just i just see the thumbnails and i'm just like i don't watch your guys you guys do a good job who runs yours i've done it jud does it nice yeah nice yeah yeah snap it's crazy how that like that app kind of fell off and then now it's just back and like people are racking out on that yeah whoever runs their their marketing or whatever who decided to say all right let's start paying creators to do stories like that fucking needs a raise because the motherfuckers brought that app back i wonder if like twitter Elon taking it over if that one's going to start taken over it was a brain like his i think it's doing a lot better i mean i i like i love putting shit out on twitter too because it's like yeah it is dope now how it's like even that podcast like

You know, we can put stuff up like there on that. And then there'll be some stuff that we like just put on Twitter. Yeah. Like, Twitter's also not censored. That skit we did with the, like, we just did a little skit about Lenn of the plug or Jason, whatever the fuck's name is. Yeah. And like that got like 10 million on Twitter.

Jesus. Just because we could put the porn. Yeah. So it's like kind of, it makes it. It's dope. Oncensored. But does Twitter have to be at least a minute to monetize right or no? There's some program with that that I heard about.

That's where you make the real money. That's on TikTok too. I heard TikTok. I don't know. I've been trying to. do the creative beta i talked to someone at tick tock and it's supposed to be set up but i can't find it or it's not there yet obviously i wonder everyone thought ticot would flop too right but that's obviously here to stay now too unless youtube lobbies against them i wonder what would change if

elon owned youtube fuck that damn don't you tweet that that would buy it so you won't buy it you probably buy that that really but google owns that shit they're not they're not selling that shit yeah so crazy how youtube just owns that kind of market for right now but i will say even youtube i think they've kind of looked at like it's like everything's kind of going to reverse now like even what happened with like the bud light thing or like i think because youtube was way more on our ass before and now they're kind of some shit will put up and i'm like there's no way this is going to stay up and they don't nothing happens like don't trump junior like talking about trans people and shit or like even we did that trans prank on our buddy laurentz yeah i feel like they would have

deleted that shit like a year ago but now it's kind of just like i know i feel like they're about their money and they know if they go too liberal they're gonna really start losing people too i wonder if it's one dude sitting there deciding or like a group of only on big shows like i think it's a group of people probably an algorithm that pops up with certain words and they review it but i mean every time we talk we do the talk about trans on our pot it's fucking age restricted is it i don't know how it gets brought up everybody what trans such a hot topic man it's a hot topic for you guys or what it just gets brought up something like that i don't know how tim's into that shit and it's like fucking stein is what is no he's rebranding what do you see you're you're you're in the gym

what else you're gonna fucking do for rebrand you're just gonna start posting workout content or no i just i don't know i just was saying that shit honestly trying to impress you guys but no honestly i was impressed i'm on the same shit after the mute pedro fight we went on well like Because that's the 4th of July one, right? We took the jet to Phoenix and partied that night. You know, we were in the club for 12 hours? Oh, because it was 4th of July, so we were there early, early. Like, we were in the 2 p.m. to 2 a.

Yeah. I wasn't ready to go home either. At one time, like, we didn't leave. Yeah, yeah. We were at bottle blonde for 12 hours straight. I don't know how. Like, that's how fucked up. That's how fucked up we were, bro.

That was best. I don't even know how that's possible. Tim didn't come out that night. You didn't come out that night. I think we just got back from Vegas. That was smart. We already did it two nights, I think. Well, we did Saturday night.

Then you had a pool party the next day. Yeah, Sunday. And you had to host. So we stayed for that. Damn. But that was probably one of the most legendary nights. The first time we ever went to Miami. You guys went with Steve.

Yeah. It wasn't with you. You were a Steve's assistant at the time. You were running around like a motherfucker. Yeah. Working hard. Yeah, you were. Working hard.

That's crazy. Plotting your escape back then. No, no escape. No, you were fucking doing a good job. But I remember that, that weekend was crazy. That was Thursday, Friday, Saturday night. and that was all the first time in Miami coming off a huge win that weekend we thought you guys did that literally every weekend like crazy weekends like that yeah met six nine Steve gave

me a fucking chain and a watch I was like holy shit I don't fucking know where I'm at right now it's fucking on cloud 400 and his pet house in Miami that sweet that was sick that was a fucking great weekend bro it was my best week is of my wife honestly yeah that shit was fucking Bradley and six racing then six gave Steve that McLaren yeah that shit was a wild Bradley got a Cuban out of it yeah yeah I got a Richard gave it back being a good guy yeah you are good fucking dude man

rebranding do you try and get in like Sterling's head like is that any part of your game or how do you try and do that um I mean I think some of the things I say could mess with him but uh have you ever noticed that in the ring like yo I'm in this fucking guy's head right now like he's not the same fighter I think when I'm in I think I'm in the cage would be come out and I'm moving in front

the people. I think I'm a little bit faster than people think. And then when I hit them, it's a little, it's not what they think. It's not what they expect when they're in there. That's what I would say, I feel like. Why do you think it is that so many of these guys underestimate you? I think you can watch it on TV. You can see it happen. But when it's in front of you, it's just different. It's a different speed. It's a different. It's just different when it's you than watching. Yeah. It's probably because you just like have such a good brand and personality that sometimes people tend to focus on that obviously over like your skill you know what I mean that's why like technically underrated but it's like your your skill

and the way you fight definitely obviously speaks for itself but although like a lot of fighters give you the credit right it's more like fans that say like yeah a little i think it's a little bit of both definitely do like my fucking hair and we're pulling up in a fucking complete pink outfit on the way here like that definitely for some reason it's like can't be that good can't be that dangerous like look at him so i think that definitely plays a role um in it but i think too like the the big this will probably be the aljo's biggest fight this is way bigger than aljo versus henry or alger versus anybody so this is a big this is a big moment for for al joe i'm not saying he won't show up but i've seen him not show up i seen aljo versus peter one aljo didn't show up

if that alger shows up i will not come out 100% like aljo has to show up 100% Saturday night. It feels like fucking sugar time to me, man. Yeah. Feels like it, right? I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel like, we're fucking biving. It's meant to be.

Boys have dialed. Does it ever go in the work? Where you're like, that's it, baby. Where you feel like, yo, I'm bringing in like this whole audience. Like, yo, I'm who they want to see type vibe. Oh, yeah, I feel like that every fight. I feel like that pretty much every fight. And I have a great relationship with USC.

I'm getting paid. I'm happy with what I'm getting paid. This fight. Obviously, I'm like, hell yeah, I would like pay-review. But I understand how it works. works. I understand. I go out there, knock out you out. I'll defend. I'll get pay-per-view. And who knows? I mean, there's people that Connor doesn't necessarily defend a belt. That's when you're supposed to get pay-per-view. And he's getting pay-per-view for his fights. I do believe

I will make it to that point. So I'm not tripping out about it right now. I'm not like, come on. Like, it's not a, it's not like the end of the world. I'm all right. I'm getting paid very good. I'm happy with what I'm getting paid. Brand deals are massive right now. So, like, it doesn't really bug me that I'm not, that he's getting the pay-per-view. he said it'll give me 10% anyway I actually was impressed I was actually very impressed with Bryce Hall duty fought was 3 in bare kn

supposedly I don't know that's what I heard I don't know if it's confirmed I think it was like 2 in or something oh 3 no whatever but I thought I thought he looked good I mean bear knuckle is not a sport I would really ever compete in if I was fucking if shit hit the fan I was you know I was like broke and I'll give you a million I'll give you a million I'm like fuck all right

but I'm not fucking fighting bare knuckle yeah that was pretty palsy of him right for sure he seems a little crazy like that you got to be to fucking want to fight. And that guy looked kind of fucked in the head, too, the other guy. Yeah, yeah. So I'd be curious. I'd watch his next bare knuckle.

I mean, he looked better than I thought he was going to. I was like, I didn't really have any expectations. But, yeah, I thought he looked good. Who do you think you would ever fight? Or you said Tank Davis? Yes, sir. You're tank's happening. That's happening.

Just like I said that I'll be fighting for the world title, I'll be world champ. I've been saying that for five, six years. People are like, shut up. That's fucking stupid. You're going to. mever's tank will happen i'm pretty pretty confident that pretty positive you know a lot of things have to play out work out for both of us to kind of get there and uh but that fight will happen it'll be a massive fight and i do but you know i i believe i could win that fight too i know

how crazy that sounds i mean i fucking i get it i have uh that's that belief in myself that got me here so it's not you know that that crazy to think that i believe that i could beat him that fight will happen. Imagine I was pulling up to that, T-Mobile, Gervante for sure. Yeah, that's crazy. I can see, I could picture it already happening.

I can picture it already. It'll happen if he doesn't, if he fucking stays out of jail, right? It's a big bag. I wonder who's going to be the first like MMA side guy to like beat the boxer. That hasn't happened yet, right? No.

Someone's got to do that. Because that would be lit. You're damn right. You're damn right. But there, I mean, there's a bunch of boxing options. I mean, especially. Is there, though, like Floyd,

Floyd, Jervante, Ryan? I feel like Floyd's a realistic one. He's been fighting a lot of

people. Floyd, Jervante, Ryan Garcia obviously wouldn't be as big. He lost her Jervante.

So yeah, there's really only two. Floyd would be sweet. That'd be wild. But none of that happens if I don't go out there and knock Al Jermaine Sterling out. That's what it comes down to.

I can't get those big fights and not be champ in the UFC. I have to be champ first, 100%. So if you win and they give you, you the belt like you get to like keep that shit until like the next that's that how it were they used to like a stanley cup or some shit they give you yeah no so aljo all all the all the title defenses he has yeah it's that belt but they used to give you a new belt every title defense which

i thought was fucking dope way cooler but now you see the little jewel the little uh rubies on the on the belt they just add a ruby each time you defend um so it's you you keep the belt and they just add a ruby probably a lot cheaper for them than giving you a new bell every time yeah i guess if you win that belt might see some shit right yeah oh yeah things not making it through the tsa check gambles no shirt they're bringing that thing to secondary probably damn yeah gambles with the with no shirt gambles get to hold of that i'll lose that thing i'll like fuck with it all right well i'm fucking pump boys let's go maybe i think this is your guy's time i think you guys are putting in the work time to shine you guys did all the hard shit right all the hard shit's done

up weight cuts probably one of the harder parts but we'll fucking get it on we always do um what is it five four days wednesday thursday friday saturday let's go or sleeps four sleeps crazy how important is it to you to have guys like us cheering for you outside the ring uh honestly though yeah having you guys of sports fucking awesome it's huge like obviously you guys have a massive platform too but it's like i feel like we're boys it's like having the boys there I have a couple of my buddies from Arizona flying down. So it's dope to have the boys supporting. You guys obviously haven't watched from the beginning,

but when you guys did see me, like you've supported every single fight since. And that was before I was even ranked, so that's fucking dope. But yeah, it's cool having you guys. It's cool that you guys are going to be at every fight too. Yeah, bro.

Even when I'm on a seven-fight losing streak on the prelims, like the boys will be there. Fuck yeah. You love you, bro. What did Johnny say, winner lose, we booze? Yeah. Fuck, yeah.

All right, boys, let's do it. Let's go. All right. Thing.
