We want out!
We want out!
We want out!
We want out!
We want out!
All right.
We got the man sugar shone.
Straight after the fight.
Mm-hmm.
Congrats.
Thank you.
Is this...
You guys want to smoke?
I would love to smoke weed.
I haven't smoked weed.
Are you smoking?
I'll puff out the end a little bit.
Let me stay sharp for a little bit.
For sure.
I've been high since my fight.
I feel like fucking...
So what have you been up to since the fight?
Honestly, so we fucking Sunday morning,
flew back, went and grabbed a good little breakfast,
little breakfast and then
uh went picked up my daughter and really just been
chilling at home not really doing anything
last good last time did you go straight to
Miami or did you like chill for the no last time
we came back and then I think we went
um
Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
and I don't know I can't do that again do
yeah where was the after party by the way you guys all went out after
I know I saw that yeah Zook that was pretty cool
it was fun that was fun it was good vibe
I was pretty trashed I was
yeah the vibes were just so good
all fight that it was just like
camera right over
Steve put those gloves on
to you didn't take them off
punching brad love that shit
is that the chain you got on
is that Steve's chain
did you through to you yeah
so Steve
Steve said he went to buy this for me
from uh he gave me this chain
that night too
what's going to all these fucking chains
flying around left and right
I mean what the fuck is Steve on here
I haven't gotten any jewelry yet
I've got I got shit
what's the guy's time piece trading
or whatever
yeah he said that
Steve went to go buy it
And that guy said, no, I want to gift it to him.
So both those guys hooked me up.
Yeah, that was cool.
I fucking Steve threw it over and I told Tim put it on it.
I'll put it on backwards too right in the cage.
Was that planned, though?
Did you guys have that planned out?
I didn't know.
No, I didn't know Steve would do that at all.
I had no idea.
I just fucking saw him in his pink jersey and was just fucking yelling, let's go.
So I guess that was sweet that you came.
You were at the last one too, though, right?
No.
No?
I don't think so.
No.
Steve was.
Who else was?
6-9 probably.
No, 6-1.
I thought maybe it was just Steve
Was that in Texas?
No it was in Vegas dude
My last eight fights I'm in Vegas
Oh really?
I'm only fighting in Vegas pretty much forever
Really?
I don't want to fight anywhere else dude
Why not?
Vegas is
Just where
I don't know
I feel like if I fight anywhere else
It's just not gonna be this sweet
You got that option though Dana gives you that option
Or how does it work?
I feel like I'm in a good position
To where I can
Say I want to fight in Vegas
Like that's where I want to fight
Not Dubai?
Dude fuck that
You know the time difference
that shit's crazy when I'm in Vegas
I'm dialed in my sleep it's like
right now it's an hour different but
dude I'm in Vegas I'm just dialed in
it would be weird fighting somewhere else
the Dubai is a mission
yeah I guess I guess it's very quick you just go to Vegas
and oh yeah 40 minute flight
I'm there comfortable
not 17 hours nonstop
having to take like seven Xanaxes to fucking fall asleep
oh seriously you still have 12 hours left to fucking fly there
yeah that doesn't sound that's what I discovered
Xanax man that was the first time you ever took a
like a light oh shit
I've never done Xanax
it's good for sleeping
I don't know if I'd
ever take it for any other reason than that
no if you're the only time you should be able
to it's like that like a 17 hour flight
just knocks you out or what
it knocks you out you can probably take it then
otherwise I think some people
have some real problems with it
yeah it's probably something you don't want to like
jump on to
get hooked on Xanax now
I'm more of it I was always more of an upper guy
because Xanax made you leave
what's that from
made you leave from Dubai
you flew and then you can't
no no no I left you're never going to be able to
I'm never going to be able to explain
anymore. Oh yeah, I've kind of heard about that a little bit.
So Dana said he's going to start paying you now, is it confirmed?
I still got, I try not to talk too much about it
because a couple of fights ago, I had brought it up, and then
I got in this little scuffle with the UFC,
and it's just best not to bring up fighter pay or fights on your
contract. I mean, because
no matter what I say, they'll be able to,
someone will clip this and make it, say, a
headline that's not true, and the UFC won't watch
the video, they'll just watch the headline.
and then it's bad news
but I'm happy with the UFC
I've got some more fights on my contract
I'm gonna fight my contract out
and then I'm gonna
we're gonna renegotiate with UFC
and yeah
Dana have you ever heard Dana say
we're gonna pay this guy
no ever besides Connor
he said that about Connor I believe
he just said that in the post fight
press conference he doesn't say that about much fighters
but
I he said that from my performances
you know he didn't say it because I was on Twitter
talking shit didn't say it because I was in
on podcast talking about it and i had before and uh that ever you know so i i've just been
going out there and performing three keos this year three fight of the nights or bonuses yeah um
i made a post today i said fighter of the year and then me and daniel were looking up like
kamar oosman's spot like gilbert burns um masvital colby covington like so i probably a little
behind there yeah for sure i think it's just funny i knew posting that people were gonna get
piss like you haven't fought anybody but they're gonna comment and that works for me but yeah
tomorrow's inspired your your fights are obviously fucking amazing but like one thing that separates
you is you you seem to be like extremely smart with like social media and stuff like that right
i noticed that too yeah like i mean that's obvious that's easy for us to notice so like how did you
what's like your strategy with like social media and stuff like that i don't i don't remember
like when when i started kind of like figuring that part of it out it was
definitely before I was in the FC posting like I realized when I would post a video of me smoking a
joint or something like people it would get a lot of attention because it was I mean even this
was like four or five years ago to where it was still kind of like what do you like I had people
be like what are you doing UFC before I got signed like UFC's not going to like you're not
going to get sponsors I would get called from like adults all the time like dude hey I don't
think you'd be posting that because these are fucking stupid but I don't know where where it kind
of just clicked but so for Instagram is just fun for me to think
of a caption, get a sick pick
or a funny video, I think the biggest
thing's comedy. Like, people don't
want to see you just looking cool
with chicks and money and
like that, that can get you views, but comedy
is going to get it. Dude, funny, you guys
fucking know it better than anyone.
Comedy's going to get you the views more than
anything. And knocking people out.
It's pretty sweet. Yeah. No, I just
think that's cool how, like, I feel like that's something
that, like, even like, rappers or other fighters
like, don't understand. Some people just
don't have that, and you seem to really
Like, I knew I'm not going to get into the UFC early and make a lot of money.
For whatever reason, I wanted to be rich.
I wanted to have a lot of money.
And I knew just fighting, at least for the first, you know, I've been in the UFC for four or five years.
I'm not just going to be rich.
I have to promote myself.
I have to get brand deals.
I have to get sponsorships.
How do you do that?
Views, numbers, ad revenue, whatever it is.
And I just, you know, it just made sense to me.
It was almost common sense.
Like, okay.
You find your avenue.
I'm not the most funny
motherfucker but I can post some funny shit
and figure out some shit
yeah so most of it
it's pretty authentic too
I am being myself
I'm not trying too hard
and I feel like people
people recognize that
when did you kind of start like
Has anybody ever like came up to you randomly
not know who you are and tried to fuck with you to bar
because that's what was interested to me like I look at you and I'm like
if I look at you right now I'm like I think I can kick
the shut of this guy yeah and that's like me not knowing
what you actually do yeah and then I'd be
obviously like really wrong
You have fucking ashes all over your sweaty
Oh yeah, I know, sorry
Not really
You're chirping Sean saying you can knock him out
No, I'm not saying please I couldn't
I know I couldn't
But I'm fucked up but I can still sky
It's never happen when somebody goes up to you at a bar
Doesn't know who you are and tries to fuck with you
And aren't you like not allowed to fight them
Because you're fucking like a weapon or something
I mean kind of technically
I feel like
Dude you've seen me drunk like
Well you
I was pretty fucked up
Yeah when I'm drunk dude
There's not a chance I'm getting in a fight
Like you just can't
I don't know what you could do
Maybe something with Switch if he said
I don't know, but when I'm drunk, I'm just chilling,
vibe and usually just being a freak.
But no one's really ever fucked with me.
I don't think I've ever...
Oh, yeah, but that was not a club.
I want to hear the apartment store.
This one's good. This one's good.
When I first moved down here, Tim and I got an apartment.
We can talk about how when I came down to.
But when I first moved down, Tim and I had an apartment.
I was 19 years old, skinny little fucking...
I was just real skinny.
He has tattoos and shit, and this Tony.
lived by himself had like nine cats was fucking jack he was probably what 40 40 years old jack bald like
and he met us and he was like found out that we're fighters and stuff and that we can make money
fighting i think i was still an amateur but uh he's like let's what how did you even get to that
point he said he wanted to try it or yeah he didn't believe that i was a fighter and was
tim worked at this ufc gym so they had a ring and we brought him over there not in like a mean
He wanted to fight me
He wanted to, not fight
He wanted to spar
I fucking kicked him in the body
And he shit
All over the mat
Like literally?
Literally shit
All over the mat
Just like instant kick
Like like
Like way it just came out of his pen
Like we kept going
We kept fighting
I stepped in it
Like
Stepped in his shit
It was horrible
How did it just come out like that?
I just fucking
I don't know what the fuck
You just hit him in the right
Is there like something
That can trigger a shit
Come out of your body like that?
A shit spot?
I don't know
Yeah
And then wait
So you actually
Step in it and then did you go like
No I step in it
We finished the round
And then Tim's like
There's shit
And we thought it was by dog
Because we recorded the video
Like we had the video
I wish we still had it
Dude you gotta have it somewhere
It was probably seven or eight years ago
You gotta find that bro
It was probably eight years
I was 19 I'm 27
8 years ago
In the video you can
We thought it was my dog
My little dog was there
So I had up cleaning it up
I thought it was my dog
We watched the video back
You can see the shit
Come out of his shorts
This is the most viral video
Maybe on the internet
I should have
I can't believe it
Post that on your gram
There's not a chance we have
I don't even know
What phone we used
But that was fucking
That was the only time
Anyone ever kind of wanted to fight
Me didn't believe I was a fighter
Other than that
I just
I don't
I didn't really ever go out
Last year
I went out
Started going out a little bit more
This year after that last fight
When I went out with Steve
Was the first time
I really went out to clubs and shit
So I've never really been fucked with
How's that been partying
with Steve and stuff
Dude, Steve is an animal
I heard that was a bendy
Dude yeah
Because we went out there Thursday
And it's like
I'm meeting Danny 6
And meeting Steve
Hanging out with the boys
And I was like
All right
We're fucking full sending
Every single night
And we did
Thursday Friday
Saturday
We just went
10 out of 10
Hard as I could go
Dude that was a calm down though
That was like a fucking
That was like a four or five day
Mental like
Anxious depressed
Like that was a calm down
Because I was
I was, you know, drink alcohol, a little fun party toys, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So it was like, I did some shit.
And I was your longest span, like partying wise.
Oh, yeah.
How long was the bender?
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, just going hard.
That's like a short bender for Bob.
That's fucking nothing.
But then, but then again, like then the next weekend, we went to fucking L.A.,
then the next weekend we went to Cleveland.
Like, we went out like six weekends in a row.
And it was just fucking tough on the body.
But I got it out of my system because right now I just fought, I've noticed.
desire to go fucking hard.
You think you're getting smarter now with more success
you have in the UFC and making like better life decisions
as far as cutting down hard. I think so. I think my daughter's older
now too. She's one. She's saying dad-da
like that's changing me as a person.
So that helps a lot too.
I think
just I had to experience going out. Yeah. And I'm still
going to go out. We're still going to go to the club. It's still going to
happen. But not like it did.
That was like fucking that was hardcore for me.
But the fight you
the fight you recently just had, right? Yeah.
Prior to that, how many days are you taking off?
I was done 10 weeks, locked in, dialed in.
So that means 10 weeks going to bed the same time every day?
Dude, my sleep, I said it, there's a quote because I said it in like the
before the fight that I have the best sleep in the UFC.
I've been tracking my sleep for probably three plus years.
I just got my sleep dialed in.
What time do you go to bed?
Around 9.30, 10, but then I'm up around 7.30.
I just wake up whenever.
I don't really have an alarm.
But I have, like, the sleep is the number one performance
enhancing anything like sleep is where you can go work out have a good ass workout
eat quality food but stay up all night fucking gaming you're going out doing whatever and
you're not going to get a tenth of the benefits you would get from those that day of
training if you don't sleep and recover it feels so good going to bed early and waking up really
when you're on that grind it's so dope i have the worst sleep schedule of all time and that
it's hard for me to sleep that's why i'm asking like curious like when you sleeping's a skill
when you wake up in the morning your sleep how you sleep is going to determine how your day is
right if you're drinking too much caffeine is that's very true if you eat too close to bed my
sleep was so good like like i said i tracked my sleep so when i was in fight when i was
when i'm in fight camp i was pushing like three hours of deep sleep a lot of the nights which
is it's a that's a lot of fucking that's where your body's recovering and your your muscles are
recovering but it's because i was cutting out caffeine you know i have one cup of coffee in the
morning you have coffee has a half life of eight hours so you have a you have a cup of coffee
at you know one o'clock at nine o'clock you're still going to have if you have 200 milligrams
of caffeine at one you're still going to have 100 milligrams of caffeine in your body at like
8 p.m so cutting out caffeine at the right time not overeating your so your body's not
digesting food while you're trying to sleep all those all those little things making sure you're
hydrated when you go to bed you know blue light blockers watch if you're going to watch tv later
at night make sure you cut it out a certain time there's so much shit that goes into
sleeping that it's a legitimate skill you can be good at sleeping do you ever listen to like ocean
waves and like crickets chirping on the phone i do i usually play like uh there's this app 10%
happier there's a lot of app yeah uh play a 30 minute meditation that'll guide you to sleep
get you into your breath out of your mind because you know you lay down you close your eyes
it's just fucking if you even do that some people just stare at their phone until they fall
sleep which is you're not going to get quality sleep you're not actually get the REM sleep the deep
sleep the sleep cycle that you need to get to wake up and feel good and and actually you have a
You get all that blue light hitting you, right?
Just fucking sitting there surfing, yeah.
I do Harry Potter puts me to sleep.
Is that weird?
Reading or listening?
I just pulling like Harry Potter.
You love Harry Potter.
I don't know what it is.
Something about Harry Potter reminds me home or something.
If I need to sleep, I just pop it on.
I don't even think I've ever watched it.
You never watched it?
I don't think so.
No.
Well, what's it like managing, like, you know, fighting and then you have a daughter as well?
Like, because you're sleeping very early.
I bet you're doing a bunch of things throughout the day as well.
Dude, my girl is the best.
Danny like she's we I slept in my in my own room the whole probably last three three and a half four
weeks of because yeah Elena's won and she she breastfeed sales she'll wake up and want to suck
on any tits and like wake me up so they've been sleeping in the other room so it's like she's been a
fucking huge help to uh for for sleeping because yeah when with Elena like if she wakes up at all
wakes me up the middle night it'll throw your whole sleep off sometimes you wake up and you
can't fucking go back to sleep you know so it was nice having her to sleep in another room
that's why when you have a daughter it's like everything's got to go away it's not about you anymore
shoot it's that true it's a fucking trip right now like it's different than when she was
because i fought twice the beginning of this year and elana was a lot smaller she was she was like
a baby baby like just tiny and i leave for fight week every tuesday
tuesday before the fight we leave so the first two times leaving was was hard because she's just
fucking a little princess but now like leaving this time like she knew i was like leaving kind of
She, I mean, she's won.
It was, it was tough for leaving this time.
And that's another thing.
Like, I don't really want to go out.
Like, I don't really want to go to Miami and then go to L.A.
And then go to Cleveland.
I don't want to be away from her.
It's fucking tough.
Like, she's, her teeth are popping through the top.
Like, you miss.
I didn't see her for five days.
And I swear she, like, you could noticeably see.
Like, she's a bigger girl now.
So it was like, that's what's really changing, like, a lot of shit for me is, is that.
It's her.
How long you've been with your girl?
Yeah.
Um, we've been together, does 20s.
Seven years.
You're still with the same girl.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
She's the best.
She's fucking awesome.
Don't you guys have an old relationship or something?
Yeah, I heard about that.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, it's, I don't know about it.
Everyone's, everyone has like a different take on what an open relationship is.
I like to think of ours, like, just an open-minded relationship where we don't own each other.
I don't own her and she doesn't own me.
We've, we've, you know, we have to read.
When you would go into something like that, it's like you look for other things, other people that have done similar things, books, podcasts.
There's a lot of people that have done different relationships
than just a monogamous relationship.
But when I met Danny, I told her, I'm like,
I don't know why somebody would fuck the same chick for the rest of their life.
Like, I can't do that.
So me and Danny had, she knew, she didn't fall in love with a fake me.
She knew who she was falling in love with.
Because I was myself, I talked about chicks.
I was just genuinely myself and didn't lie to her.
I didn't say, like, I don't think about fucking chicks.
I was just straight up with her since day one.
and uh yeah so i'd say our relationship is is open but it's not like people think it's not like i'm
gonna leave here and go fuck a chick yeah what's your definition on that yeah it's just whatever
whatever whatever happens happens it's whatever happens yeah happens happens obviously we take into
consideration like if i go fuck this chick and then i have feelings for it's like fuck now that's
gonna fuck up this whole relationship that's the coolest thing that's probably ever happened
in our relationship like we've had some bad at like some dope threesome's like those are
relationship should be okay with that like that's just needs to happen but when i was in at an
autograph signing or a uh fucking whatever meet greet and and wherever i was at i was sharing the
stories when people when people come up take a picture and share it on instagram there's this hot chick
and she shared it or no i shared it and danny was here and messaged me she said oh you should see if
she's single and i mess i hit her i didn't think so she said that to you danny messaged me and
said you should you should hit her up and i hit her up and smashed that night so like i wasn't
going to hit her up because I didn't think she I didn't get that vibes from her when
she told you to smash that out Danny messaged me and said you should hit her up see that's
very interesting so that was probably like I was like that's that was sweet and I did it and then
I got back to Phoenix and she asked me said how to go and I was like yeah smash thanks and like she
got a little dabbed each other up yeah oh yeah and she got a little emotional because she's like
she was like it's just a lot of feelings come up when when you when you're going through a
relationship like that and but that's how we've grown so much together is
By doing things like that, having those uncomfortable conversations to where it's just hard to even talk to your partner about certain things because you don't know what emotions are going to come up.
You don't want to hurt each other's feelings, but you also have to realize you're not in control of each other's feelings.
Wait, so do you tell your girl, like, if you ever, like, I don't know, if you ever fell in love or, like, had feelings for another girl that you smash, do you tell her that?
We broke up at one point for probably a couple months because I fucked up.
I was in Vegas smashed some biscuits
and fucking
you know
dude sometimes
that's the thing with me
it's hard for me to put emotion out of it
I smashed biscuits
and I was like I like her
and I fucked up
dude
smashed biscuits
not anymore
since that
since that time
it has not happened anymore
I feel like it definitely learned
from that and grew from that
but uh
what's that phone call like
you gotta pick up the phone
you'll say I just smashed a couple biscuits
it wasn't a phone call
it was like when I got off the plane call
it was tough
It was there.
She moved out.
She moved out and we went our separate ways for a couple months.
And then, uh...
So it wasn't as open then?
No, it was, but it's just, like I said, it was emotions come up to what that's going to happen.
It's not just going to be like, hey, it's being open and it's perfect.
We're going to deal with the emotions and it's fucking a lot.
It's probably harder than anything.
Any, you know, it's harder than training camp dealing with those emotions.
Like, so the insecurity and the jealousy that arises in you is real.
It's crazy.
But on the other side of that is fucking.
a lot of happiness
I wonder has she ever told you she smashed
another guy and then you guys dabbed each other up
she hasn't she hasn't
she hasn't smashed any biscuits before but she told me
one time she because I was
having I was I was I was hooking up with this one chick
and and Danny knew
we'd hooked up with her together at one point
and uh she
she was getting a little jealous she was
feeling those emotions and and she's like
I want to have sex with with someone
and you know him like it was a
one of my buddies you know him and so i said i said who is it she told me i swear to god i
message of that kid and i said you know what kind of relationship where then i'm not gonna be
mad at you if it happened if she mess if she hits you up you have my word i don't know like that's
that was it was that your boy you you got a good very like up front you always make things up
the friend he's like wow but my but he he hit me back up and he's like he's like okay like he knows
what kind of relationship we're in like we're buddies and he he's
He said, yeah, I'll have to think about this.
We met up at a
at a tea shop, coffee shop, talked it out.
He's like, I just don't think I could do that.
You guys went to a coffee shop?
Talked it out, you know what I mean?
It's important.
Communication.
I love that.
I love that.
That's the thing we're lacking in most of them.
And we talked about it.
And I might take it a little bit too far.
She never, she never hit him up and never went anywhere.
But in my mind, I accepted and was okay with
if she were to do that, that it's because it's something she wants to do.
It has nothing to do with me.
It's not because I'm ugly.
It's not because I can't fuck her good.
It's not any of those things.
It's because it's something she,
it's one of her desires that she wanted to do.
Thank God, right?
Thank God it's not that.
You decided to ever get married one day and Zelle away?
We've been married for like,
we've been married for a long time.
But it's,
but for the fact that I was,
I was okay if that happened,
it meant a lot to myself that I'm like,
okay, I can get to a point where I'm okay,
I'm okay with whatever happens.
And that was powerful.
one and me and her grow so much when we have conversations like that and things like this happen
right now it's been a lot different we do have a little princess like she went through pregnancy
she's insecure which i don't know why most girls are even when they're fucking hot like she's
insecure because she had a baby all this shit so right now it's been different um it's been not
i mean it's still open relationship like a fucking if there's a hot-ass chick if i go somewhere
to miami with the boys and there's a hot chick i'm smashing if i have
the opportunity. She's a 10. That's fucking
lit. And she's, Dan, we're not going to break up
with that. We're not going to, we're not going to break up
because I want to have, I hook up with a chick.
That makes no sense. Why would we break up
what we have, which is so fucking good
because I'm horned up?
I don't know. How pumped do you get
when she's like, when she wants to do the threesome
talk? I mean, you guys have that down at T, so like
how does that go about? Like, if you guys want to have
a threesome. Yeah, dude, chicks
are hard to find. Like, especially you were in
Peoria, fucking Arizona. There's not a lot of
chicks up this way. And we don't really go out ever.
so it is kind of hard to find
we lucked out on Tinder once
earlier this year
you all went on Tinder
yeah went on Tinder
wow I love that bro this is a very straight up
honest dude and I really love it
big relationship
because everybody's kind of yeah
this is great I know
open relationships is always interesting
and it's always easier for me to talk
about when she's here because then it's like the
question's like yeah well if you want to fuck a guy
like I can't answer things like that for her
but also it's like jealousy of
the biggest motherfucker
in all of us guys
I know Gabe
probably gets jealous
if he fucking
I go old nuts too
like I go crazy over
I can't
He does?
He don't
He don't
He don't know
When I hear listen to pause
Gabe's fucking smashing
every Tuesday
He don't smash
He don't smash
In his mind
Oh he doesn't actually close
He's like Timpan
He doesn't close the deal
He just gets him
He gets like makeout kills
And shit
I don't believe that
I don't know
I don't know about that
Gabe you need to get
a couple of biscuits
to you and F
Yeah, you need to smash some biscuits here, soon, and Peoria.
He's going to need a big biscuit.
Yeah, big biscuit.
So you're big, you're big in a marijuana, too, though.
I don't know if you were I talked about it.
Yeah, I mean, I think fucking weeds one of the best medicines in this fucking earth.
What do you use it for specifically?
I think I use it specifically for...
You get stone, right?
Yeah, to get stone.
Mainly I use it at night.
It really, uh, it helps me work.
wind down it's like uh it's like my body knows okay we're winding down for the night smoke i do i have a
hot tub and cold plunge at home that i do pretty religiously like in camp i hot tub cold plunge
every night um about three weeks out i quit smoking because the fucking munchies dude the munchies will
get you and you got a diet i got a diet in i got to fuck you feel like you're a big hot chito guy
no dude i don't eat shit like that i eat pretty clean i eat clean quality organic and food
that's you know whole foods for the most part i mean right now i'm fucking
I'm definitely eating a little bit
not as good
but
I'm for the most part
I'm eating pretty clean
You smoked with Snoop?
Smoked with Snoop
Dude that was the craziest
because that was the night
I got into the UFC
That was the night I got signed
by the UFC
You remember that?
Did you see the knockout
where he went crazy?
Yeah
One of the sweetest knockouts
fucking just got signed
of the UFC
So I'm high as fuck off
Just life in general
And then I'm smoking
in Snoop's trailer
Just higher than fuck
Like the whole night
That whole
It just seemed like I was on a movie
It was so
Such a trip
Celebrities is like
Snoop too
Yeah someone like that
You literally feel like you're in a movie
You're like what the fuck's going on
Yeah dude
And like I walked out the trailer
And there's like
People like taking pictures and shit
And I was like floating
I felt like I was floating
That was a trip
How long was the smoke session with Snoop
Um
We were probably in there 15 20 minutes
Uh
Could have been an hour
I don't know
Tyson didn't stop
Did you realize that
throughout our whole two hour pot we sat down with tyson we got really really high with him and he
smoked for two hours straight yeah i don't i couldn't i can't i'm not like that i can't do that a fucking
a zonk out um yeah i mean should we actually talk ufc or is it no i i i wonder what when did that
whole like cody garbent um start like because i i i seen you um you guys were about to do a face off right
or you guys trying to dude i for me i mean this kind of goes back to like the social media
effect of business stuff.
For me, I saw it's on the press conference.
I saw the whole main card
was on the press conference.
So I knew my guy hardly speaks English.
He's Brazilian.
He speaks Portuguese.
I'm not going to have too many good back and forth with him.
I was like, okay, Cody, Cody's my target today.
Cody's my target.
I'm going to steal the press conference.
What am I going to do?
Tim and I, we sit down and think for some ideas.
I'm like, perfect.
I'll ask Dana if me and Cody can square up.
That'd be epic.
We're not even fighting each other.
And we've had beef in the past.
So, you know, that, that, and then, you know, just the one-liners.
Like, Tim and I were at the hotel thing.
You're like, what would be perfect to say?
Then Tim said, I should say, he's going to be one fight away from the pod or the commentary booth.
So just those little lines.
One fight away from the commentary?
He's one and six in his last seven.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, he's lost a lot.
Yeah.
The thing is, he's a stud.
And if anyone's going to come back, he could maybe come back.
That would be tough, like mentally.
Where's his head at?
He's one and six?
One and six.
Every time I hear of him, he's leaving.
He's won one fight since 2017.
I just remember him fighting Dominique Cruz.
Look good.
That was 2016.
Yeah.
Long time ago.
So you think Dana's going to cut him off now?
Is he done?
I think he still can sell a little bit.
I think he's still somewhat of a star, but he might either retire.
He's still young or, you know, fight again.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
But yeah, will we, me and him ever fight?
I don't know.
probably not
the way his
I mean that was at
125
that was a weight class below
and that dude he fought
was 5'4
I'm 6 6 baby
yeah
you know what I'm saying
who's your guy
that you looked up to
but I'd say
pride Conner
I didn't really watch
you have C much
growing up
I fucking thought
the sport was disgusting
like watching it
when I was 13 14 years old
I couldn't watch it
I couldn't see them get kicked
and punched
I just
yeah kicks are like man
it's brutal
really
And even still, I was like fucking crazy.
Now it's different.
But when I was young, I couldn't watch it.
So I didn't really watch it growing up.
Pretty much started watching UFC when I moved here to try to get into the UFC.
But it was probably Connor.
Connor was, I think, fighting Max Holloway.
So it was before Connor blew up.
And I was like, he was captivating.
I was like wanting to want.
I'm like, dude, what the fuck?
I want to watch his interviews.
I want to watch his post-fight conference.
I want to watch.
Who is he fighting next?
I want to follow this guy.
So Connor was probably the first guy that I ever was, like, interested in.
You ever try and, like, steal any of his style when you...
I would say steal it.
style. I see what works. I see what
I'm curious what styles you use. He taught
the whole game a lot of shit. He did. I mean
he did before Connor blew up I
saw myself as that kind of
person to get into the UFC
and kind of take it to a next level
but it was sweet that Connor did it before
me and I can learn from Connor. Connor's
a fucking legend. He's a genius
marketer and I can learn from him.
I wouldn't say steal from him
but there's definitely
things that he does that people
like that I can do as
well.
I wonder if he'll ever come back, man.
I wonder.
He seems like he's coming back.
I think he will.
Probably come back for that Nate trilogy.
I mean, he's looking jacked.
Yeah, he looks good right now.
He looks beefy, dude.
And I don't necessarily think, you know, if he's walking around, I think he said
189, 190, and he fights at 155.
I don't think he plans on coming back to 155.
He'll probably fight 170.
Yeah.
I saw you guys like Camaro on.
Yeah.
That was cool.
Camaro's a fucking legend.
Pound for pound.
Are you most comfortable when you're standing up striking?
Dude, I'm a knockout artist.
I'm a knockout king.
I feel like, yeah, I'm definitely most comfortable
when I'm standing up.
But I also do a lot of grappling and a lot of Jiu-Jitsu,
and I haven't even got to show any of that.
Fuck.
And the big Steve.
Just actually, no.
Yeah, I mean, we'll see where my grappling's at
when someone can take me down.
Who is your one loss that you had?
I haven't lost.
He says you're 15-1, no?
Er.
That was one you got hurt.
Oh, that one's funny
Yeah, I got kicked in this perennial nerve
There's the nerve right here behind your knee
And it made my leg go completely numb
And I fucking had limp, limp foot
So every time I'd step forward I'd roll my ankle
And I fucking blitzed this dude
And threw some punches
And I fell down on my back
And he got on top elbowed me
Ref stopped it
So you don't really count it
I see what you said
I don't feel like I lost that fight
Because my skills were worse than his
I think a freak accident happened
How many thousands of leg kicks
Hundreds of thousands of leg kicks have landed in the UFC
And how many times does that happen
It's probably happened three or four times
So the that's the worst way to lose
So rare
Yeah that's not yeah
And it's like if I was fighting someone
Then that happened to them
I wouldn't
I wouldn't be like yeah I beat that guy
I wouldn't think that way
I want to knock someone out
I want the ref to stop
Because the dude's fucking crawling around
His head's bobbling
That's a finish
That's a fucking win
Not because someone's foot goes limp
Yes, he kicked it
But it's not like his goal
I'm gonna go in there and kick his nerve
It's not, it doesn't make sense
It was literally his big toe
Hit some random fucking nerve back here
If me and him rematch
And he did it again
I would be like
That motherfucker
He knows how to kick someone's nerve
That would be different
But he hasn't done it to anyone else
So it's not like it's a skill
You know what you're saying?
What's like you're behind the scenes like
What is like Tim's role
You talk a lot about him
And, like, what's, like, your circle like
and, like, the different people you got around you?
Yeah, that's a good question.
So I kind of schedule my camps and stuff
more so, like, a boxer than, like, a typical MMA fighters
to where it's, I'm the main motherfucker.
I'm what we're focused on.
Like, you go to bigger gyms, it's like, there's six, seven fighters
that have fights coming up.
Like, all the coaches are focused on them.
Yeah, it's kind of weird.
I'm my own dude.
And I think that's kind of, you know,
you take that when you're a champion that happens,
people like that tends to happen
I've been doing it for last
for the last couple fights
I gotta fuck the best team
I got Tim who holds Mitz
he's more like the MMA coach
who he's a black belt and jujitsu
so he understands that he understands my striking
as much as I do
I'm like pretty much because he's held Mitz
for me for so long
and so he's like the MMA
overall MMA head coach
then um so we hit Mitz
once or twice a week
and then you know he's always watching my
sparring and stuff and then brandon harris who's my strength and conditioning coach who's just
like honestly it's more of a friend now than a coach he's a fucking just a cool ass dude
and really really really gives a hundred percent of his effort into making sure that i am
peaking fight night and my my weight's good we're not doing we're not lifting to we
want to know my he he messes me every morning how'd you sleep what was your hrv what was your
sleep score this is what you're doing today like he's like on top of everything i talk to him every day
and then tankino uh who is the other guy in my corner won 80 cc world no gea i think in 2019 a couple years
ago which means he was the best grappler in a similar weight class to me and he's around my size
and he's my uh he's like he's tim's professor too who gave him his black belt uh so i just have a
killer team around me and then i train at the mma lab here in phoenix and uh just have so many awesome sparring
ring partners, guys that are in the UFC, Kyler Phillips, Mario Batista, Casey Kenney, guys on the
come up, Abdul. There's just so many people that I have, that are just such good training
partners that I feel like I have one of the best teams surrounding me. How about like business
wise and stuff like that? Is that all you kind of? Business wise? I would, yeah, I feel like
my buddy Emron, who's like one of my main sponsor, Sanable, who's been with me probably longer
than any sponsor I've had
he's been my
he's my right hand man like I he
talked to him every single day
about uh about what's going on
business wise and
there's a lot dude nowadays it's
it's every single day
business all day which is
which is tricky
it's good but it's tricky when I'm in fight camp
it's fuck with your head
it can fuck with your head and it's like okay
there's a lot there's a lot going on
that these this last fight
I did really well kind of organizing that
better um because the last four or five were pretty crazy and they just keep getting more crazy but
this one i felt very comfortable with organizing all the business and not doing too much doing just
enough but um yeah emeron's my my right hand man so who do you want next who's your perfect
fight next yeah i said i got ranked today which is a big deal in some people's eyes to me it's
one of the dumbest fucking things ever rankings if it if the rankings were like more um if there was like
an actual ranking system that made sense
and everyone understood like okay you be this you get
this but they're just made up for the most
part like I'm number 13 now
which is uh you serious it's just
it's weird I've never in your weight class
who's the number one in your weight class right now
Peter Jan Peter Jan
the Russian dude you guys know yeah yeah I know
that sounds fucking dangerous Peter Jan
Peter Jan the little Russian dude he's about 5 5
he's uh you know that's
the end goal I think he's I guess he's not the champ
Al Jermaine Sterling's the champ right now but they're
they're gonna rematch and
and decide who's the champ but
yeah
But the whole bantamweight division from 1 to 10 are really like the whole top 15s of fucking, it's stacked.
It's the best division in the UFC right now.
You think you're at that level right now where you could take down the number one guy?
Dude, I feel like I'm 27 years old.
I don't think anyone has better striking than me.
I believe in my grappling and I have a championship mindset.
So yeah, I think I could be, I in my mind am the champ right now.
And people ask me why do you think you're the champ?
and it's because if all of us fought at the same time
you can only pick one person to watch
everyone's watching me so
so realistically how long you think it'll take
and what needs to happen for you to be able to fight that guy
that's number one
whatever he's Peter fucking young
probably win two more fights
win the next two fights
and I could be fighting for the belt
um
that that's realistic
I don't know how much longer
this last weight cut was pretty fucking dialed in
the ones before that I would have said
I'm probably going to move up to 145 soon because they were so fucking brutal.
But I was walking around a couple pounds of less this fight camp,
which was just being more disciplined on my diet.
So this weight cut wasn't as bad,
and I'd definitely be able to fight at 35 a couple more times before I move up.
Can you talk us through how that works?
Like weight cutting and shit?
Like weight cutting?
Like how much weight do you cut?
I see how a torch, like, a lot of people are going on.
I hired a guy in Dan Garner,
and he helps me just dial it into a, you know,
We're measuring out every single meal, you know, four ounces of, four ounces of chicken.
Like when does that start, though? Like, is it all campers?
Yeah, about six weeks.
Six weeks before you start cutting?
Yep.
And then I cut carbs out about, this time it was like eight, nine days out before weigh-ins.
So cutting carbs.
No carbs at all.
Cutting carbs is the, and still training.
That's fucked.
It's fucked.
It sucks.
You lose, you feel, you just like have an energy dump.
You're not rehide.
Your muscles aren't fueling.
Cutting carbs is tough.
So I do that around 154 pounds-ish, let's say.
And then I cut carbs in a fight week.
So I was walking around one, what was that fight week?
149, fight week, so Monday.
And I'd log all this every fight.
14 pounds in like one week?
Yeah.
And then, so Tuesday, and so Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday are very important days for water logging.
Just fucking drinking 6.7 liters of water, which is.
like almost two gallons of water
which is
that helps get the weight off
and then
Thursday cutting salt
and cutting water
so I'm just fucking pissing
all day
do you guys like shit a lot too
once you cut carbs
you're not really shit
in all your food
not like the guy in the ring right
you're just yeah not like the guy in the ring
not quite all the food you're eating
is going to your body refueling
how much weight you're losing the last day
so when you have to step on that scale
so Thursday night
I cut five pounds
in the in the hot tub
sweating just dying you're laying there fucking feel like you're dying and then then i woke up
and cut um i floated one pound overnight and then i cut two pounds just one point eight pounds
friday morning so you're weighing at nine i woke up six 37 and it took me about what 30 minutes to
cut 30 35 minutes to cut what do you do to cut that last a little bit get in a hot fucking bath
fill up that bath sit in there we did 10 minutes sat in the sauna for um 10 10 10 10
minutes and then lay down and get
covered with towels and just sweat
it out. It's such a weird experience
that everyone should do
because you feel like you're dying. You can
feel your heart and it kind of hurts and it's pounding
and you're just, your head kind of hurts.
It's scary. And then how do you fucking scary? And then the next day
you're just fighting after all that. Well then you weigh in at nine
and you start rehydrating you start you start drinking a lot of liquids like you
crave food at that point. You could give a fuck less about it.
You just want to drink water. You just want water. You just
you hydrate really well
and then throughout the day
you just like you don't feel
fucking full dude
you could eat all day
and if I'm like pull the trigger
to just make weight
like last minute
just throw up
no you can't
you probably wouldn't be able to throw up
after sweating as much as you do
you have nothing
you can't pee
you can't shit
you can't spit
your mouth is so dry
how much do you gain
on fight night
so I was I was standing
on the scale with my shoes on
and what was I
156
1-56 so I gained
about 20 pounds
give a day. Oh my god.
24 hours. Yeah.
20 pounds? So isn't it
15% right? Or
usually that's 10%? Usually I weigh
that much pretty much that day and a half by the time
you're Friday. So I weigh it Friday
at 9 a.m. usually Friday
night because you're so, you eat
all day, drink all day. You usually
gain about
I'd gain about 20 pounds back.
Damn does it kind of hurt your stomach though after you
like when you're eating? Yeah you got to be careful with what
you can't eat shit like I'm not eating
fucking Cheetos and yeah and uh just pizza
like some people do i see fighters
fucking eating waffles and pizza
after way ends and like not so
much anymore as like as much
but you still see fighters doing that and that's such an important
part of your performance what you eat and rehydrate
with is how you're going to perform the next night
um so yeah dude
saturday with the like you wake up
i wake up eat like we go work out in the morning just like a light
get a sweat go and get them blood flow and get some
the food and everything moving
and it's like you're sitting there
for fucking hours just waiting because i fight at seven so we we get on the bus to go over
from the hotel at 430 and it just takes all fucking day you feel like you're sitting there forever
just waiting to go fight it's such a weird day it's a trip oh man what made you do the hair
thing the colorful hair um just that was so when i thought eddie wineland there was the first time
i did my hair i did the rainbow hair like i did like a similar
hairstyle like six nine it was it was uh i had thought about doing something like that and then
we're i was gaming with my buddies and they're like you should do your hair like that i'm like
fuck yeah i should my girl dan she does hair for a living it's her profession she's a fucking
black belt at it she loves doing hair so when like i tell her let's do something crazy she
gets jacked like she gets excited to fucking come up with these different hair styles and
and colors and shit so and the fans love it dude every time i fight people like what a other hair
yeah it's like your signature thing now people fucking love it dude
And there's so much you can do with hair
Like it matches my merch a lot of times
I'll do merch drops with it
It's fucking
It's just marketing
How much would have somebody
Have to pay you right now to shave your head
Shave my head
Right now somebody was like
Hey I'll pay you X amount
To just shave your head
And you can't have the rainbow thing
Well it'll grow bad
I can see a ball
Yeah he'd have sauce
Dude how much
I went to a boot camp
When I was 16
And I had like a fro
And they fucking just buzzed it
I used to rock the fro
Fro's nice
Chicks loves a fro dude
Two male
oh really that high probably something like that
maybe a mill
I don't know it'd be tough
yeah but it's a part of your thing now you're you're that's your
that's your that's your yeah no the hair
people love the hair
so back to the business shit what do you
what other kind of stuff do you want to achieve besides
just like obviously becoming champ like
is there any other business ventures you're looking to get into
and stuff like that I think the big
the one that'll probably be the biggest hasn't happened yet
and that's going to be a strain a certain strain
the sugar strain
yeah it's perfect it's it's it's it's
getting into that
that business is
like we've tried it a couple times
but it's tough there's a lot
of things you gotta figure out like
laws federal law like the weed game's
tough I think that's something I definitely
want to get into but you have to pick the right people
the right partners get into it so weird how it's federally
illegal here but not ship it here
and there's a lot of buck yeah a lot of shit
must be a pin in the ass but I think that's gonna be like
similar to the whiskey Connor's whiskey I think that could be my
fucking my 100
million dollar yeah 100%
so you guys have tried to do it but it just
we've tried to and you know
it's it's tough you just gotta be
you gotta and I'm waiting for the right people
to come around you gotta be patient way for the right partners to come along
exactly I'll learn as you go yeah
for the most part everything else is like
I've been I've been selling shirts
merch since I was an amateur
back in Helen Montana where I'm from
I'd be like I'd sell 100 shirts
and I'd be like holy shit so I've been doing merch for like a long time
so now it's nice to be able to have a company that can
you know supply
like demand or supply everything
and take care of all the shipping and all that stuff
so merch is like one of my favorite
business things that I'm like
always a part of with like what's
it going to look like what colors are we going to use
what are we going to come out with
is that like a bigger business than the actual like
pay right now or is it like similar
I'd say it's pretty similar
yeah I'd say total this year I've
probably been half and half
like half UFC I've made
half of money UFC half
sponsors, business stuff.
Are there restrictions around what they allow you to do
the UFC with merch sales?
No, I haven't ran to do any issues.
I know they sell their own sugar shone-o mallee merch,
but I always tell people to fucking buy it for my shit
rather than, because I think I get like such a tiny percent
of their sales.
But yeah, it was cool because this fight was like the first fight.
I did the press conference, the way ends in the fight,
like looking out into the crowd,
seeing a shit ton of sugar merch,
And it was, that was the first time I really had seen like,
damn, that's, that's pretty cool.
That was fucking sweet.
How about the NFT shit?
Is that, you just launched that?
Yeah, the NFT, that was what I was telling you,
Emron, my right hand man.
Like, he's, we've been, we've been diving into the NFT world.
And it's a fucking, it's a crazy world, man.
It's like, I'm still learning more about it, more about it.
But really, it's just creating a really, really cool community.
Like, we're growing our Discord,
and it's like a cool way to talk to fans that on Instagram,
you're going to have haters on Twitter
you're going to have haters
even when I go on Twitch
like it's not just sugar fans it's haters
Discord is really the only community
we've built
that's just
fucking sugar fans
like it feels like a sweet
family in there
so yeah the NFTs and the Discord
has been going hand-in-hand
promoting it in there and stuff
but it's cool that
we're going to be able to do sweet things
with the NFTs as far as incentive-wise
you know certain NFTs
are going to have different
different benefits
you know you can win
I was gonna give my gloves away
but I had to give them to fucking Steve
dude how to give them the Steve
but given away
giving my fight merch tickets to the fights
flying people out
I've flown so many people out like from my Twitch
subscribers to fucking come hang out
like I fought one of my Twitch subs in my cage
like I didn't hurt him but yeah
it's on you it's fucking dude you gotta watch the video
it's so funny but uh yeah
so shit like that I'm really gonna get excited
about that because those are gonna be the genuine
sugar fans that are that
that are just part of
the rise dude
and yeah the NFT project's been
doing really well
and it's continuing
so you guys want
how many did you launch you know
we launched 9,999
so and I think we might have done
the 10,000 where it was like
the one rare
the one rare one but they're all
there's different categories
whoa
no he's pulling up the
oh dude
that we did three three minute rounds
and we had Tim ref
and it was the funniest shit ever
and I give him shit
I see Bob over here
vaping sucking on his vape pen
I always give my buddy
this kid was a Twitch subscriber from Canada
Flew him down fucking smoked with him
hung out, stayed at my house
And it was just fucking hilarious dude
This was probably three years ago
Oh wow
What are you giving right now
You're giving like 5% effort during this?
Five's accurate yeah
Just let him feel good
Like he's for a little bit
But it's funny because I always make fun of him
For vaping I'm like dude
You're gonna gas out
No he won't
And he's dude
He was a minute and a half
Two minutes in he was trying to quit
Tim's like nope
You can't quit
So we made him do the full three, three-minute rounds.
This is funny.
He tried to take me down and runs in the cage.
This shit's so funny.
By the end, is he just dead?
Oh, yeah.
But not from me hurting him, from fatigue.
But then I flew this kid, the same kid out earlier this year, actually like two, three months ago.
Before I went into fight camp with another buddy, whose name Schmitty, he's 6.7.
How big is he?
300 pounds?
300.
320.
And he and this kid fought on, on.
I'm not, you're just toying with them.
Yeah, it was funny.
But I had a, we had like a whole...
That was actually a real punch.
That must be dope.
You're giving more than 5% a little bit.
No, no, no, no.
Are you missing on purpose?
I was just tapping him.
I wasn't hurting him hard.
You see what I do to people?
It fucking wouldn't be standing there
if I was hitting him hard.
Do you say your cardio's good?
My cardio is good?
Yeah.
I mean, I broke last little fight before that.
I think I broke the record
for the most significant punches
thrown in three-round fights.
So I'd say it's pretty fucking good.
Have you had a five-round fight yet, no?
No, five-round fights are main events
and championship fights
and I don't want a fucking five round fight
they're gonna give me like 20,000 extra dollars
to go fight basically another fight 10 minutes
I'm like I'm not gonna fucking do that
But eventually you're gonna have to have a 5 round fight
Yeah I mean I mean
There comes a point where you don't
You can't say no to the UFC
You know what I mean like
I'd rather not fight five rounds
Unless you want to pay me a fucking lot more money
Because you know how much more training is gonna go
That was like a 10 week camp for 15 minutes
I mean that's a hard camp
I think, though, with the level of cardio
and I could have went five rounds
just because when you're in there, you have,
you know, I'm not going to give up.
I'm not going to fall.
You're going to fight.
But five, five, five is a long,
that's 25 minutes of fucking fist fighting.
So I'd like to be paid
to, if I'm going to do that.
That's very understandable.
That's a long time to fucking fight, dude.
Yeah.
And you think about the guys
you have to do it all the time.
Yeah, like, Camaro?
Like, that's fucking nuts.
That's just normal to them now.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
I mean, I mean, it's dope.
to know, though, that you could, like, whoop someone's ass, though.
Yeah, I mean, it is fucking ass.
Knowing that you fuck someone up.
Yeah, it must be cool to actually, like, walk in a room like this.
Like, you know, you can whip my ass, who are, everybody's supposed to, yeah, you don't, it's like, that's like, I mean, it's like, that's like, I mean, I'm sure there is some guys, like, there's some fucking, like, I'm just like, weird dudes that do think like that.
Like, they're just, like, I don't know why, but I just never really thought like that.
I've always just been, I feel like I'm a normal fucking little dude.
Where'd you learn to, like, to start on the street, like, street, like, look at him?
no i'm curious how like one learns to let what i'm high i'm sorry no yeah that's i mean that's a good
question i feel like i learned how to fight from just being a fucking athlete and playing basketball
football soccer and baseball where i was every fucking season i was doing something since i was
three four five years old i was constantly playing sports and then when i was 16 i tried
kickboxing and i was like naturally pretty good at it probably not technically wise like that
wasn't throwing a perfect one too and a fucking i wasn't doing things technically right but i was
sparring guys. I've been knocking
like grown men out.
I was 16 years old for what I just have that
I don't hit hard
it's just timing
and speed
and that equals fucking power. It's like it's like
the Diaz guys right? They don't yeah
a little bit but they're they're they
throw like they probably throw
their punches 60 70%
most of mine are like 100%
like a lot all my shots are power shots
like I'm fucking cracking you pretty much every
shot if I'm landing on you I'm going to
crack you hard, towards theirs
was more output, but
less power, which is
can still be just as effective. Right.
Just damaging over time. Yeah. I know
you guys had Giovante on.
You guys watched his fight. I didn't see his fight.
I didn't see it. No, we were... Dude, that year away.
I heard it was really
close, though. Yeah, I heard that
I heard that too. Dude, that dude, that dude he fought was shorter than
him. Wow.
Javonte, dude... That guy hits hard, though. Yeah.
Did you ever see the video his fucking hands?
When he was doing that?
When he said that, he would, if, he would, if, he would, if, he
He's from the hood.
That's how he'd wrestle.
That was the funniest fucking thing ever.
If he actually grappled with someone,
like he said he'd come to MMA.
If he took one class at a fucking amateur gym,
would he be gashing?
He would be like,
what the fuck?
I would never do that.
It was funny to see how delusional he is
to think that he could come into an MMA fight
and be at any successful at all
against, I mean,
an elite level fighter.
I wonder if a boxer will ever,
it's happened in the past,
but I wonder recently
if anyone will ever come into MMA
like a boxer. The only way they would
is if they have a wrestling background.
Would there be still be like a lot of money
in it if they came to M.A? If they were a massive
star, Floyd came to MMA, I'm sure
Dana would have a way to pay you.
But it would make sense. They're not trained in anything to box
their whole life. So they can only use their hands.
You guys, you're working on everything.
Yeah. Jervante would, I don't think
Javante is a big enough star, but Daniel would be like,
no, we don't fucking want him.
But for
for me to box Dravante,
that's a massive fight someday.
Like, that's a massive fucking fight someday.
That's a Floyd-Connor fight someday, potentially, if we're on the same path.
If we've got to both continue, like, we haven't done enough.
Like, he hasn't done with Floyd's done.
I haven't known what Connor's done.
But if it keeps going, like, I don't see my career going any different.
I'm going up.
I can see him, you know, keep beating people too.
It could be a massive boxing fight someday.
How restricted are you, though, of, like, you're going off?
It would have to be, like, the UFC deal with, like, Connor did.
Like, Connor was still signed with UFC.
It was like, Dana still got paid.
Like, it was like, it would have to be something like that.
But, dude, I can box.
I can fucking box.
Like, actually box.
I have that combo I threw up against the cage.
There were no kicks there.
That was boxing.
It was clean.
Does it bother you that you were, like, that restricted by the UFC at all, ever?
You can't, like, go off and, like, so it was YouTube drama or something,
somebody wanted to fight you.
There was two million on the table.
Does that bother it all that you're that restricted by the UFC?
No, just because they've given me the play.
platform to be able to do what I've done that like dude I wouldn't be able to do be where
I'm at with the UFC I wouldn't be able to perform in front of that many people that's what I
love doing is performing I fucking love being in that cage knowing everybody's fucking watching me
like even people at home they're not fucking surfing their phone or eating fucking pizza I bet
they're sitting there like what the fuck's this kid gonna do so I just love performing the fact
that I can do that with the UFC and they've given me the opportunity this many times
to keep doing it
I'd say no
UFC's sick man
Dana's the fucking man
Think about how far
It's calm
But even talk shit on Dana's a fucking piece of shit
Dana's the fucking man
And it is true what he says
Like all the other leagues
Are just like
Going out of business sale
Every time
They are
They are
They're so authentic
You know
Like the UFC has to like
The thing about fighter pay too
Is like
If you get some guy
Who's not gonna sell tickets
To the fight
Probably has total of 30 fans
It's like
you're not going to pay him
and he's just getting
to the UFC and he's making
because you make
10,000 to show
10,000 to win
when you get into the UFC
like they're a business
you have to be making them money
for them to pay you
which is fine which is fair
and understand them more
that's why he's a lot of shit for it
and then like he said something about
he pays more
he pays better than most
boxers which is true
like you go on a boxing card
you might make
500 or 600 bucks
unless you're the main event
yeah you got to prove you up here
to make at least 10 and 10
and you just got to keep
fucking doing sweet shit
and you will.
Connor's been paid,
Ron has been paid,
John Jones was fucking paid
apparently not enough.
Like,
if you're doing the right shit,
you're gonna get paid
and that's kind of where I'm at.
Like,
I just need to keep winning.
I just need to do that shit.
You still looking for a bag from Dana or what?
No,
I think I'm just gonna let that slide.
I think Dana knows we have a mutual respect.
I was sitting next to Hallie Berry
at the fight too, by the way.
Oh, really?
Right behind Hallie.
I saw you got a photo with her.
I did.
I tapped on the shoulder.
At that last fight?
Yeah.
Yeah,
I was right behind Hallie.
That's fucking sweet.
I saw her, I was watching, I've rewatched, I watched all my fights, like, it's all I've been doing is fucking watching my fight.
You ever, like, look at her and wink after, like, you maybe knock out.
I should, I didn't see her.
Last time I saw Bebes at the fight, though, and that was probably one of the sickest moments because he was standing up when me and this kid were just in a fucking flurry and I was dotting him up and Beavis are standing there.
I went and rewatch the video.
That was probably the sickest part.
You're from Canada, eh?
Yeah.
All Americans laugh at that.
It's just such a funny, like, lingo.
Well, I talk, I play with my, dude, I've strived.
stream every fucking day.
Like I'll do you.
Throw on your headset and like that kid I sparred right there.
He's from Canada.
So I fucking,
we just,
I just do it to him all fucking,
the whole gaming session.
I even talk like that.
I'm around these guys all the time.
It's just fun,
eh?
We literally get people like saying it,
like Americans and shit now.
Dude,
I say like not even meaning to
when I'm around him.
Just like,
should be just normal.
I feel like I'm not in the norm
when I hear you guys talk like that.
I'm like,
fuck,
I gotta start talking like this.
Dude,
being at the club after the fight
was one of the weird
because I was sober.
When I got there, I was sober.
Sitting at the club, just having people staring at me
and just recording.
I'm not doing anything.
It was so fucking weird.
Like, just like, for 20, 30, like, an hour.
There was this kid, huh, Daniel?
Just didn't stop staring at me.
Just like this.
I couldn't believe I was standing there.
It was so fucking weird.
She gave him a hug.
Well, I ended up taking a picture with him,
but he was just like, it was crazy.
Has, like, any weird shit like that happened to you with fame
or fans?
Nothing crazy is really...
Dude, someone who's like at my house the other day
my driveway waiting for me to come outside
for me to sign shit.
That was fucked.
And I'm not going to say no, because I'm like, you know's where I live.
We've had people jump over our
fucking garage and shit.
That's weird.
That's weird.
I don't like that because I have, like I said,
I have a family now.
It's not like Tim and I live together
and it's like whatever, dude, fucking...
I think I'm a family.
That was trippy.
Most people are cool.
Then there's just that one out of a hundred or a thousand
that's like just has no fucking...
Yeah.
If they're fans, yeah, typically fucking cool.
I don't think they realize it, though.
Most fans, I don't think they realize what they're doing.
I mean, imagine just, like, meeting someone that you really, really look up to.
Like, I get where they're coming from, you know?
For sure.
It's just, like, delusion sometimes.
Well, you have that many people following you, like we do.
It's like, there's definitely some fucking Jeffrey Dime's a serial killer out there.
Oh, God.
Shop us up.
That's the fucking truth.
Dude, golf master over here, huh?
Oh, yeah.
Just loving it?
You golf ass?
No, dude, I've never golfed.
No, dude, I've never golfed to, and I've wanted to, and I feel like I'm going to,
too eventually, but I also fear
I hear how obsessed you can get with
it and it's like kind of dangerous.
I'm at a point right now where I'm, I don't see
myself stopping at all. Yeah, so that's where I'm like
I was telling Tim like, well, probably golf and we're older
fucking smoke a joint, cruise the caddy, like just
fucking kick it, but I don't want to get obsessed
with it right now. I gotta play Bob. You will
though, you will get obsessed. You guys? I'm going to play all day, but I'll
know. That's the first? I heard you were better at
you have no fucking chance. I beat Kyle.
Really? Yeah. But I played really bad, but no, he beat me.
No way. So he's actually improving. He can actually
play golf now? Well, if you think about golf,
like, I'm not that good of a putter. I gotta get
way better at short game for sure. You're missing, like, when you're hitting the
ball, like, your miss is fucking flying all over the places.
It's going straight, wherever I want. You watch it on, like,
YouTube shit? I watch golf all day. Yeah.
I just love the game. If you watch shit,
like, I found that out, too, with, like,
kickboxing or jiu-jitsu or
even fucking Call of Duty. Watching the high-level
people do it is just as
important as fucking doing it yourself
if you're trying to improve it something. Watching it on
YouTube, watching it, fucking golf
channel whatever. I just love it.
You're gonna prove fast that way.
Did you meet Tiger?
No, man.
You were drunk texting me there or something probably because you told me
through this whole thing. You met Tiger.
No, I met Tiger. I'm like I met Tiger. I fucking all this stuff.
I what like
It was going to happen. It was going to happen
but we had a COVID test. The difference was going
to happen and then you texted me. I thought it could happen.
Because okay, look, it was a, it was an instant
like we were going to dinner. We were
going to go after to the hotel.
We were going to meet him, but I went late.
Okay.
Because I went late to the dinner.
which made the dinner longer.
Because they're like,
oh,
we already ate,
but we'll wait for you guys to eat.
And then,
like,
we're at the hotel at fucking 12 at night.
You know,
Tiger's not coming out that time.
Yeah,
he probably out.
I was two stories below him.
I was like two stories.
They were telling me,
like,
Bryson and them were like two stories below,
Tiger.
I mean,
Tiger knows that I take down
some fucking biscuits.
Tiger hits some tuggies,
dude.
Tiger hits tuggy,
no doubt.
You got your girl now.
Do you still hit tuggy?
I mean,
have you?
Can you or no?
Are you still with your girl?
Yeah,
yeah,
Yeah, I'm dating here.
No, I haven't been to Tuggy in a long time.
I just get random urges.
Like, there's so many around here.
It's crazy.
The ones that jerk you off at the end?
No.
Oh.
We got like an hour to kill after before the flight, right?
Should you go try to Tuggy, Gabe?
You get Tuggies?
Oh, you're probably just lamps.
Like, this doesn't work.
Steve tried to take you.
That's funny.
But no, good old Tuggy never hurt.
Yeah, they still exist.
Like, they're everywhere.
There's a lot of, like, happy ending places.
Oh, dude.
like the OG tugging.
I used to think it was a bit.
I'll be honest to you, I've definitely gotten happy endings before,
but I'm not like, no, it's not my thing.
It's like a once in a while thing.
Yeah, it's a once in a while thing.
Sometimes it's a twice or three times a week thing for me.
It just depends what I'm feeling.
Depends what day it is.
You can go on like a tuggy bender.
Well, my first tuggy, I was like, oh God, dude, I'm gonna fuck.
I'm obsessed.
Went like two or three times that week and then I was like, okay, I'm good.
I think I was like good for a month or so.
Yeah.
Then it's just like if you need a little stress.
It's dangerous when there's one right by like beside you.
an OC, there's not one.
So I haven't been in like months, but in our old house in
LA, it's literally like a five-minute
fucking drive. That's dangerous. Like if you struck
out the night before, you wake up, you're hung as fuck.
You're like, fuck, you know what? I'm going
to tuggy and grab some starps. Yeah, dude.
You know what the thing is? Like, sometimes you just need a bust
a nut to get some clarity.
Then you're good. Then you can start thinking about
business and start thinking about what shit you've got to do for the day.
But if you wake up and you just, I mean,
you can do it yourself, but why would you do
that? Sometimes you can just eliminate the massage, too.
you just go right in for the tugging.
Oh, yeah.
Do you?
We've got a couple extra hundred laying around.
I like to enjoy the massage stuff.
See, the thing is I do too.
I enjoy the massage.
The buildup.
It's like the buildup.
I mean, the best tug is when you get, like, it's the massage and then you get a good tug.
Yeah, but sometimes you're like press the time and like, you know, you like,
Tim likes to just get in and get the tuggy.
No, Tim's more of a guy that's straight to action.
Tim asks the girl if he can massage them.
Tim gives them a massage.
I think the buildup is the best part.
But I've had one instance where I have walked in, laid down, started doing a thing.
and I'm just like, let's be honest.
I got to go.
Let's fucking wrap this thing up real quick, all right?
Fucking bang me out and I'm out of here.
Here's a hundred bucks.
Yeah, I took a couple of my buddies,
my Twitch guys when I flew him down recently to the tugging.
Oh, dude, it was legendary.
It was so fucking funny.
They were just like, they don't get laid.
And they, oh, it was funny, dude.
The smile on their face walking out.
Imagine being that lady, though.
I mean, the guy just giving tan jobs all day.
I know.
We're always like Asian ladies.
I respect the hospital because guess what
She like they
They love it
They're into it
They are
And if they weren't it would be weird
They love it
If it was like
I don't want to do this
I'm like oh whoa
That would be weird
But they've always
Oh okay
You're cute
Well because they're probably used to just getting
Like old fat guys too right
So like when young guys walk in
They're probably like
Oh this is not that bad
This is like a good day on the job
Yeah
Because they probably get some regulars
Like the guys that come
Every day after work and shit
Sweaty rags
Oh God
fuck
you can still get in trouble
for going
those things
right
allegedly
allegedly
if I ever got
like get a tuggy
I would
have been the funniest
prank on Bob
I wouldn't be that
you wouldn't get me
you should do that to someone
imagine a mug shot
that would be good
that's a good
bring some full send guys
down say they won
and then fucking
oh that's that's good
that's gotta be up there
for next bid
fuck
because you can actually
you can't really
like the real tuggy plays
though
and like person ain't
that's just too much
can't disrupt a business. You got to respect that.
That's mean to them. Like, they run a fucking organization.
It is probably illegal, right? Didn't that Patriots guy get
fucked? Yeah, yeah, Robert Kraft. Yeah, they had like
30 names, yeah, Robert Kraft.
You got in trouble for getting a tuggy?
Yeah, he got caught him. He was on the list.
They were monitoring the place for like a while.
Was it a tuggy or was it a brothel? Probably a brothel.
I mean, I think that they were pretty much willing and able
to do whatever. Robert Crafts walking out with a billion dollars.
I think they're going to do whatever the fuck he wants.
How's full send dot com going?
It's going really good. Is it going good? I mean, that's sweet.
Because you don't have, you guys can post whatever the
fuck you want. There's no censored shit. It's not
going to be like, damn, that's sweet, especially
with the content you guys posted, but that's nice.
Because YouTube's cocksucker sometimes.
We're doing a lot of the giveaways too.
That's nice. So that's cool. So we brought
two fans to Cancun with us.
Fuck, dude. Everyone we brought out has been
really cool. Well, that one kid
was fucking hammered to think, wasn't he?
That was the Howlerhead winner. Oh, okay.
Dude, that kid was like...
At the fights? Yeah. He was just
too kid. Really nice kid
meant well but just pretty
fucked up early
I was just like watching it the main card hadn't even started
this kid was just on another planet
I know that was a howlerhead
Hallorhead guy Phil said enough to do with that
Dana's a great guy he lets people just get fucked up
the winners damn it's hard when you're at the fights
to not get too fucked up before the main event
so you gotta
because you can drink at the fights you drink take another one
it do take a long time for the main event to come
yeah you gotta get there at the main card
but also the buildup is fun too like I mean
it is it is I never take for granted
I'm always like shit this is like
it definitely builds up.
This is the coolest thing in the world.
It is dope, like just right in front front.
It's the sickest thing to be able
to go sit front road.
One thousand percent.
Like the biggest blessing ever.
It's also the sickest event to fucking go to
out of any sport.
All time.
Like, let's be honest.
It's gladiator shit.
You know, it doesn't have to be like a cream of the crop.
Like you go anywhere, you buy a ticket anywhere to the UFC.
You're going to have fucking maybe the best time
you ever had in your life.
It's crazy when you know someone,
even if you don't,
aren't best friends with them,
but you know someone that's fighting,
the anxiety you can.
can get you're like oh like you get
my little brother was about to
prepuke-ish like you're on the verge of fucking
just like an anxiety attack
when I'm walking out and I can't imagine
because I've watched you know partners fight
um training partners fight and it's
crazy but like watching someone you
love is like oh my god of it that's fucking
crazy nothing
yeah because then you mean you get
knocked out fighting you're in there
obviously there's a ref
so you're the chance of dying aren't very high
but there's a possibility
you get fucking
K-O'd and don't wake up.
Like, there's...
Does it ever happen?
Not in UFC, I don't think,
but, I mean, like,
just happened in bare-knuckle boxing not long ago
that you don't hear about it too much.
Fuck that, dude.
My, like, my hand's already swollen as fuck
from just, like,
having an actual glove and shit on.
Remember when they used to say,
like, UFC was, like,
more dangerous than boxing and shit
when that whole shit was going on?
Oh, well, if it was boxing,
you're really trying to cancel MMA, right?
Yeah, I think with boxing,
you get dropped,
and the ref's like,
all right, you got eight seconds
to be able to fucking be good.
Like, in UFC,
you get dropped, the ref calls it.
Like, imagine that kid
that I dropped in the refs like,
all right, you get eight seconds.
And I go fucking do that of a kid.
It's like, that's some serious fucking brain damage.
And yeah, I'd say,
yeah, with UFC or, because the gloves are smaller, right?
You get knocked out once and then TKO.
Yeah, then it's pretty much over.
Yeah, boxing can get back up, get knocked down again.
Boxing you get in the head nonstop for fucking 12 rounds every fucking second.
Yeah.
You have C, you got smaller gloves, right?
Yeah, you get smaller gloves.
I think they're about, yeah, four ounces.
Like, uh, boxing, depending on weight class,
like eight, 10, 12 ounces.
Mm-hmm.
But also you get,
fucking chin
to the dome too.
Is your jaw
have been tested yet?
I've been not really
too hard in a fight
but I've been rocked sparring
I've been hit pretty hard
but you don't want to take too many of those
the shots that you're going to eat hard
you want to take them
if you have to
I'm not trying to fucking test my chin
in the gym
I believe I'm in good enough shape
which is a big part of
when you get hit
recovering and being okay
I trust that I haven't had
much brain damage
that I can eat a good shot
when I need to
but for the most
but I'm not
you know
the way I look at
sparring is a lot
different than a lot
of fighters
and that's changed
over the last
two or three years
you know
people will have
$50,000
fight of the nights
in the gym
leading up to a fight
it's not smart
you do not want to be
taking brain damage
you do not want to be
having headaches
after sparring
it's just
brutal
and I've had that
I've been there
I've trained
like I've had over
30 fights
I've been training
for 10 years
I've had those
gym wars
to where you just like that's how you thought you're supposed to train
over the years i've been like okay that's so how do you do it now
like do you train like do you spar like 70% or like
do you tell the sparring partner yeah yeah for the for the most part
you know you have a relationship with your sparring partner it's like hey
i'm not trying to knock you out there's guys when you go and spar who are
trying to knock you out and and you can get good work that way you get realistic
fucking work that way but it's just like the risk rewards not the same
it's not healthy so yeah i pick you know good smart
sparring partners that I
trust. With that
being said, I've knocked people out
from sparring, not intentionally.
Just the right shot he throws, I throw
the same time, it lands perfect.
You know, you drop people, and it happens
and I've had
legit, like, I've teared up
dropping someone, I'm like, fuck, dude, because I know
what that means to their career.
I'm like, God damn it, I don't want to hurt my sparring
partners. We're helping each other.
So, but yeah, sparring,
there's so much that goes on a training camp
and having good sparring partners
is like a big, big aspect of it.
Important shit.
What are you guys up to?
Like after today?
You guys are going to fly back to where?
Fly back to O.C.
We just came off that.
What was it?
Three week trip.
How was that?
We're pretty gas.
Dude, I'm sure.
It was fun as fuck, though.
We got like five to six videos.
Did you get a good amount?
Damn.
That's fun too.
It's like traveling, make a memory.
So now you guys are going to go back and just kick it,
chill for a little bit?
Are you going to get back right on the making videos?
Or you're just going to have way for the editing team?
Well, now we got five to six in the band.
So now it's sick because we got a little more time to edit them and perfect them so the editors are already on it
So what you made like? So like you wake up tomorrow? Are you helping with edits? Like there's like ideas? Or you just let the team kind of?
Yeah, tomorrow I'll probably be in the office and stuff and then I'll go they, so we have like six editors. So they'll start chopping it like
Jason and a few of the other guys. They'll chop it up and then Austin will come in and he'll like put it all together.
We got some good shit on that trip though. We got great shit on the trip or more just. We got some pranks and shit or more just.
We got some pranks too, yeah.
One of the ones we did was shitting in the pool.
So we got like a fake turd at like a resort and we did it in front of, it's pretty funny.
I don't know.
You watched it?
No, I just remember.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know how, you guys are so good at those pranks.
I don't know, like the one way, the fake girlfriend one, dude.
That would have to run that back.
Yeah, that, I enjoyed doing that way.
It was really funny.
So we put out an ad and we said, we want to prank, we want to prank like someone's parents.
So if you want us to prank your parents, like,
Salim and me will pretend to be your boyfriend.
And then we basically, like, pretended to be thugs.
Well, you were just going off about liberals.
And then I had some, like, hardcore Trump people.
So right when they walked in the door,
I asked them if they had Vax cards.
That was funny.
That was fucking cold.
Yeah, I told you at the after party.
Tim and I, we went all the way back to the full,
the Nelkev and YouTube, like, eight years ago.
We were watching, like, the old shit.
I know. The old shit's great.
That's so good, though.
But, like, it's just funny.
the like there were short videos
and they were like it's funny to see where the idea
started and now where it's at it was
it was fucking cool to see it when you got a great idea

I remember at the after party, Steve said he'll give me $100K, like fuck his sister.
He said you'd throw 100 bid in on it.
I would really, really debate it on it.
I was like, damn.

No, I never did.
I just had a normal relationship with her.
She was cool.

But if you take his chain off,
I guarantee a fucking 16-year-old Stiney comes back.
He's just like.

He was a little fucking shit.
Not cocky at all.

Did you ever do like a vlog?
I drop blogs every once in a while.
mine are for
the ones that do good for me

like they're fun to make
they're not they're not hard
they're nothing crazy
they're not
you know she's not
there's not that
a lot that goes into
it's mostly just the
recording and fucking
putting it together
but
I just can't imagine
having a camera in your face
24 seven
that would drive me
fucking nuts
like you guys always are shooting
shooting shooting
I just can't
is that something
you're fucking filming
all the time
yeah but I'm
quick i'm just like i'm zapped boom i think it's dope to have a vlog when you're not really like
focusing on like trying to get stuff like he's just like yo this is me like we're doing this this
whatever comes out of it exactly like go to the bathroom i go like take a piss i walk out like fucking
it's a camera right here we're like how's your day i'm like how's your piss you know so is that
something though you think that because these guys love it's part of their business and what
is that something you could ever you would want ever yeah i'd like everything for me it's like
i recorded what i want to like and i don't have like with the podcast
an hour his is an hour so that's two hours a week there's a camera in front of me and then
sometimes i'll fucking do a vlog so it's the camera's not really on me too much unless it's like
getting close to a fight then the ESPN will come out UFC will come out monster will come out
and then it's like quite a bit of recording but it's during in those moments it's like for me
it's business is i'm working so it's i enjoy when the camera is on me i enjoy it also i stream
like two or three hours every day and like the camera's on me there and uh so i i like when the
cameras on. I mean, so, you know, business is being made. What do you stream right now?
I've been playing so much Call of Duty lately. Is the new cod good? I played my fucking
thumb from the fights still swollen. So I tried playing yesterday and it was just it hurt too bad.
I played like two games. The new maps kind of dog shit. Um, been playing a lot of Madden
actually. Probably the last two months, been playing a lot of Madden. You guys fuck with Madden
much? I used to, I used to shred Cobb. I feel like the last one I played was MW3.
Two Ks don't. I don't know if you ever play two care. So you guys don't, you guys don't, you guys don't
game at all? Any of you guys anymore? I used to
like, like, I have days
on MW2 and shit. I remember
looking at that, how many hours you'd have played, it'd be
like, fucking 32 days. All I wanted to do is
just drop nukes. I didn't care about anything else, but
drop in Nukes. Noob, tube one man
army or no? I was a big tag knife guy.
A tag knife guy. Marathon, lightweight
commando. With the attack insertion, too.
Just put it in the spawn and then just
boom, boom, boom, boom. Do the tack insurers.
Get the hairier, fuck off. Oh, yeah.
Get the chopper gun, boom, boom, boom, boom, nuke, done.
Really? Never played Call a
Play Cloud of Duty, no.
Damn, I've never heard someone say that.
I used to play basketball all the time, so I just play 2K all day.
Dude, ball's fucking fun.
Basketball is amazing.
I miss actually bawling.
Like, I would love to have, like, a, like, one of those leagues out of gym.
Stine thinks he's fucking great at ball.
Dude, everyone I've ever met.
Someone thinks they're good at basketball.
It's like.
I'm fucking ass at ball.
Yeah?
Oh, basketball is amazing, man.
Football?
You guys watch football much?
A little bit.
I guess Canada?
I guess Canada, you don't really watch the NFL, right, growing up?
a lot of people do. I didn't really too much
watch, like mostly hockey, but...
Oh, hockey, yeah. I never really got into hockey.
You watch football? Football is the best
all day. Me? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I just
golf all day. Just fucking... I don't really, yeah.
So do you, uh, man, golf is just
like a hard one for me to watch, probably because I'm not
never done it. It's like Cod, it's like watching Cod
if you don't play Cod. Yeah, like, if you play golf, then you're just like
more... What do you love so much about it?
That it just brings you to the moment and it's something to get better out or do you just
can't put a... Therapeutic, right? Therapeutic, and it's
I like how technical it is
like you can never be perfect at the game
so it's like trying to achieve perfection
but obviously you know I know I'm never going to be
perfect like you know but just trying to get
better like because I mean
the best players always can get better right? Always.
The best players could. I love your determination
I'm saying what's your handicap now though.
I don't even deal. I don't even know what the
hell that is but yeah. You're still in the beginning
stage. Are we going to play soon? If you're getting that good you're playing a lot
of golf. Well no Kyle wasn't playing good that
I mean if he was playing. Yeah if he was playing good.
But that's part of golf is playing good.
to beat him. It's pretty impressive. I mean, I should have
seen me. Like, I must have shot like 1.15.
Oh, okay. I was, I was hitting green.
Like, if it's a part four, I was hitting green.
I think you have some bad days. If you played like
that, he might be able to beat you. But on that bad day, I just
check out. Like, I'll come back in. If you golf
seven days a week, how many good days you're going to have?
You think?
Like, good, good day?
Like, do you have more bad days than good days?
Yeah. For sure. Do you ever
think that, like, when you wake up in the morning, do you have, do you have
like a routine? Like, okay, I'm going to fucking have a solid day
day on the field or on the on the on the course yeah usually when i wake up really early
wake up early do what do you do do a certain anything like a little meditation
to get you mind i just go to the go to the range literally with no one there and you guys do
do anything meditation no i've tried just can't do it do you do it dude i've been doing it for
years really every single morning and it's probably the most powerful thing i've ever started that
and ice bath so what does that consist of like meditating there's so many different ways you can
meditate there's apps you mean you could literally type in i and i do this a lot 10 minute
meditation on YouTube and it's just quieting your mind and starting for in planning for a good
day so what it like what do you do like close your eyes and like take deep breasts I go out you there's
guided meditations where they're there's like okay nasal breathe into your belly and it's
there's mantras there's so many different things I like to go outside 10 minutes is all it takes
but it's it's a powerful 10 minutes if you can fucking get your mind in control and and so you start
your day like that I start my day like that before I do anything wake up just wake up
I want to try it.
And it's something, the thing is, you could try it one time.
I don't feel anything two times.
It's a consistency that you have to do over time.
And it's the number one thing that I'm happy that I've did in my life is being consistent with the meditation.
You literally do it every day?
Every day journaling something I really like to do.
I'm not a writer.
I'm not a fucking, I don't like writing.
But journaling my thoughts, I do that either in the morning or at night, one of the two.
It's pretty cool because now I have like three or four full journals.
back from like 2017 before I was in the USC
like reading them back on like
whatever day to day is in 2017
like seeing what I was doing
I write down what I'm going to do for the day and shit like that
it's pretty cool but I also find that
like therapeutic and stuff
but therapy like when you love something it's like
that's my meditation I feel like yeah
I feel like for me too doing jiu-jitsu
and stuff like that's a meditation for me but I also think
what separates the good from the
great is the mind
and I feel like
I mean and to be
able to control your mind and have thoughts that you want to have, I can't afford a bad day
in the cage. I have to show up. I have to show up Saturday.
I have the confidence like every day before I play. I'm like, I'm going to play my best
round. But because I just started like I got to like really, I got to know everything about the game.
I would just suggest looking up doing a 10 minute meditation. There's, I mean, you could look up the
different meditations. There's meditation where you're completely quieting your mind and literally
just following your breath. You're not listening to a guided.
meditation or a mantra or anything and then there's meditation where there's mantras and you're
there's a couple different ones that you could maybe find that you like more than the others
but if you just do it 10 minutes even if you say okay I'm just going to do it for five days and
just start there uh I guarantee you if you stay with it it will benefit your life
tremendously 100% I'm gonna start tomorrow you need to meditate I know we all do I need to
it helps the sleep helps with anxiety start meditating tomorrow the problem is when you're
when you close your eyes and you're doing those deep breaths and you're clearing your mind
What happened is like shit just pops in.
Like shit just pops in. That's good.
That's what meditation is.
If it's popping in and you're observing it,
and then you let it go and then it doesn't go away.
You're like, fuck, it's not going away.
And then your 10 minutes is up.
And you're like, oh, that wasn't that good.
But it was good.
If you were sat there and observed those thoughts and you,
just doing the 10 minutes, even if you suck,
even if all 10 minutes is you thinking,
it's like that's a good fucking start.
You're not going to sit there and be good at it.
I've been doing it for years.
And I'm not going to go sit there in 10 minutes.
Clear my mind 100%.
Are you thinking about negative things or positive things?
you think what depends what meditation you're doing after you're doing like a mantra
what's a mantra is like for me this whole fight camp like kind of something i would like to say
in my head to get me out of my thoughts is like too sharp too fast too focus too sharp too fast too focus i'm
not thinking about fuck what happens if he kicks me here what happens if he takes me down i'm thinking
too sharp too fast too focus that's what's going through my fucking mind walking out that's all i was
saying too sharp too fast too focus when i was in the cage there's probably you probably see
my lip i'm like too sharp too fast too focus that's a mantra that's not letting me
lose control of my thoughts
I'm not thinking oh my god
what the fuck look at how many people are like I'm thinking too sharp
too fast you're I'm dialed the fuck in
and it's like that's like for a morning mantra
you know you probably would be saying that
I'd be like I'm gonna have a fucking good day today
little things like that but uh
yeah you guys definitely just at least try it
I might use those exact same word
what were they again too sharp too fast too focused baby
that's all I'm waking up tomorrow
that's just fucking shadow boxer in the first thing the morning
that's a good little slogan on it you guys ever getting cold plunge
Yeah, I can't do it for like 10 seconds
What cold, what is that?
I have a cold bath
I can do a cold bath
I could do a cold pludge
You go to cold water
You plunge in water
You just gotta
For me if I did it once
And I just like just I was like
Shut my eyes and just like deal with it
Coal punches are tough
I have a nice ass one at my house
Every in fight camp three minutes
It was 40 degrees three minutes every night
And it's a mother fucker
You feel incredible after a cold pump
And you just get right in the hot tub
Yeah
22 minutes
No I do the hot tub
and then I do cold plunge.
The Rogan doing 20 minutes is fucking
borderline insane.
Actually, it's probably on the other side of insane.
That's, I don't...
He did it for 20?
Dude, it was insane.
You watched that.
That was just...
Yeah, he was...
Oh, I've seen that video on Instagram?
Dude, like, 20 minutes,
I'm pretty mentally fucking sharp
and fucking pretty mentally strong.
20 minutes would be fucking...
Like, I would have to be paid.
Probably to do that.
Like, I wouldn't do that on my own will.
Right, right, right.
Right, right.
Like three minutes.
Fuck that.
Three minutes is good.
But,
but.
Yeah, boys.
I think we're good, right?
What do you guys think?
That's great.
I loved it.
I'd love to do some pranks with you one day.
Let's do it.
Yeah,
I was going to say if you guys,
if you guys want to see us do a prank with Sean,
let's fucking,
let's think of something.
Let's have them do the girlfriend one.
Do what?
Do the girlfriend one?
Oh my God, dude.
You think you could pull that off?
I feel like you could.
Dude, I think so, too.
I would have to be.
Oh, my God.
You should do like, you fucking.
No, no, no, but like, if we do the drug thing again,
like, he can also be one of the guys that pulls up.
He should do a black family.
He could come knock on the door and...
Or he could be like, oh, bug, man.
I'll get my ass just beat down.
No, no, I just think it'd be hilarious.
You just knock out the dad, make him shit in his own house.
I'd like that.
Oh, my God, dude, I would be so...
I'd have a fucking heart attack.
I would try.
I'd fucking attempt it.
Let us know if you guys want to see that.
Yeah, I would love to see it.
You should have him, like, go up to different dudes and be like,
you really fuck my...
Like, he really fucked a girl.
Like, he was his girl or something like that.
God, I'm not good at confrontation like that.
I would struggle, but I would attempt it.
Maybe the comments will have, like, good idea, something they could see.
I say we get you to meet the parents, or meet the parents, too.
That's a great one.
We should at least get a batty and let me smash.
Yeah, fuck it.
It would be worth it.
Bring a biscuit.
All right, boys.
We'll see you guys next Wednesday.
Love it.
All good.
Let's go.
Great pod.
Let's go.
This is dope.
