Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement, noise in the basement. Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement. Yeah, yeah. Hello and welcome to my mom's basement, or should I say me mom's cellar, because I'm over here in London for this one. We are presented by 3G and Barstool Sports, of course. And today it's just a solo

show. It won't be solo for the entire episode. If you clicked on this episode, you know that. I have an interview with Dana White. The description has the time code, so if you want to just skip to that, you can click on that in the description. But I figured for about 10 minutes before we get into the Dana White interview, I would talk about my London trip a bit. And it's been a really, really good time. So I arrived on Tuesday, which was weird because I left New York at 9am. It was about a six hour flight. And then I landed in London at 8pm. So it was like I went from morning to night like that. And I went straight to Paddy's hotel because on the first night or the first day, even the first hour that Paddy was here, he got into an altercation with another fighter, Ilya Teporia. If you didn't see that, he's not even the guy that Patty's fighting. He was just

the guy that Patty went back and forth with on Twitter for a bit. They're both on the same card. So Patty was heating up some scrambled eggs. Ilya Teporia went over to him, kind of tried to cause some stuff, but nothing really happened. I went to Patty's hotel right away to get his side of it. You could check out that video now on the My Mom's Basement YouTube page. I thought it was a good interview. We're just sitting on this bed. It's kind of casual. And then on day two, which was actually like day one for me.

It was the first full day because I landed at 8 p.m. and whatnot. We did media day to kick off the day. Patty was obviously the star of the show there. He called Ilya Teporia Mr. Hand Sanitizer because that's when he got bounced off his head and whatnot. It was very funny. Talked about Barstool a bit., talked about the relationship with Barstool. He gave a Bret Hart quote where he said he wants to be the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be. And they did a little face-off. I thought Media Day was good. Media Day is usually pretty,

you know, boring. I don't know. It is what it is. It's a lot of like, how are you feeling? How's the weight cut? How's the fight camp? Just the general MMA stuff. And after I got back to my hotel, I ordered some snacks on Uber Eats, among which was a Galaxy Bar. I don't know if you guys have heard of a Galaxy Bar. If you're a listener in the UK, you for sure have. But Paddy told me that American chocolate, bread, and milk are all shit. So he wanted me to try some British chocolate. I gotta tell you, I don't think American chocolate is shit, but the Galaxy Bar was tremendous. It was actually really good. After that, we recorded the Spinning Backfist MMA show,

which is a new podcast I've been doing at Barstool, just MMA related. And I think it's really good. It's me, Big Ev, Jack Mack joins a lot of the time, and then we have a bunch of guests. And this week, it's just me and Big Ev. We're doing it via Zoom. We throw to my Patti Pimlet interview,

so if you haven't heard that, you could just go on the podcast feed or on YouTube, the Spinning Backfist MMA page. It's on the My Mom's Basement YouTube. You could listen to that there. I think it's a really good, it's like a 30-minute podcast this week, and I think we get into some fun stuff.

We get into picks for UFC London. We get into how Patti's entrance is just going to be the most electric thing of all time. And we give out our third parlay. The first two parlays both hit plus 430 plus 340. So the third one, we went crazy. We did five legs. We picked an underdog on it and we're going to just see what happens. We're playing with house money at this point. And then we capped off the night going to Toka Social, a place called called toka social which was kind of like if you've ever been to a five iron golf place like for the golf simulator it's like that but for soccer or like top golf but for soccer so you go into what looks like a golf simulator and it

shoots soccer balls at you or should i say footballs at you and you have to kick them back the screen there's like multiple games you play it It was so much fun. We were there for Liverpool versus Arsenal. And it's like literally in the O2 arena. If you don't know, in the O2 arena, there's a mall. Like on the outside concourse. Movie theater, restaurants, this place Toka Social. That's where Paddy's after party is going to be as well if you're in London. I think there are tickets still available for that.

Very few though. So look to get those immediately if you want to go. And I tried a Guinness for the first time there. It wasn't a real Guinness. It wasn't from the tap, as everyone told me to. The first sip went down okay, and everything after that was pretty gross. And then we took the tube back because a concert was at the O2, some DJ concert was at the O2, and it let out at the exact same time we were leaving. So like thousands of people filed out into the tube at the same time. I figured I couldn't get an Uber. And I had the most dramatic first experience on the tube ever.

The tube is the subway, if you don't know. That's what they call it here. I got stuck in the door. We were packed in like sardines. And the door closed on both of my shoulders. So Patty and all his guys and Blaze from Patty's team, who used to work for Barstool Game Time, they all grabbed me by the arms and like ripped me into this train. It was some moment. It was the closest I ever felt to being like Indiana Jones. And then today,

I went over, interviewed Dana White, as you'll hear on this podcast, and I even went to the Berwick Street Market in London's Soho District, which was a lot nicer than New York's Soho District, if I do say so myself. And I took a picture right where they took the cover of What's the Story, Morning Glory by Oasis and you can see that on my Instagram or Twitter. I don't even know if that's a big thing, if that's something people would care about, but I thought it was neat. I was certainly getting chills standing in that spot and I think tomorrow or maybe the day that you're listening to this, I'm going to make the trek over to the Abbey Road crosswalk and take the most touristy picture I possibly can while I'm in London because, hey, I don't know when I'm going to be here next, you know, so might as well get

all that touristy shit out of the way. Paddy's weight cut is underway as we speak, and it's going very well. I don't expect any issues with that. I expect to put this podcast out tomorrow, and he's already made weight and everything's good to go. He'll have a big breakfast. We'll have some Nando's tomorrow. I'm going to try Nando's tomorrow, which I'm excited about. Follow my Instagram at that Robbie Fox. If you want to follow along on the American tries UK things for the first time. If not, I don't care. That's fine. And check out the spinning backfist MMA show.

As I said, I think it's a really good show. We're going to have a bunch of guests in the future. And I think this is only the beginning for us. My official prediction for Patty's fight, which you can hear if you listen to the podcast, I think he's going to knock him out in the first round. I think he could submit him too. We have the Barstool Sportsbook promo, where if you opt into the hoodie, you can get like this new Patty the Batty hoodie, as long as you bet $100 on Patty via KO, which I think is a great bet. He could submit him. But the good news is, even if he decides to submit this lizard, you're still getting the hoodie. So it's like it's not a wasted bet. He could submit him, but the good news is, even if he decides to submit this lizard,

you're still getting the hoodie. So it's like, it's not a wasted bet. You know, you're still getting the hoodie that you bet for, and it's got a Liverpool patch on the side. It says Patty the Batty on the front. It's honestly a really cool hoodie. I've got it here in London. I brought a couple for Patty, and we're rocking them all week. Everyone was asking about them. So without further ado, I think we should get into this interview with Dana White, Uncle Dana. It's a very good one. At one point, he demands that I give him my phone to FaceTime Dave, Dave Portnoy. Will he pick up? I don't know. You'll have to listen to this interview to find out.

Hello and welcome back to my mom's basement. This is more like me mom's cellar because we're

here in London. I am here with the UFC president Dana White who just arrived today in London so hopefully you're not too tired after doing some interviews today. I'm good. Before we get started into the fighting stuff just you arrived here today. Do you like London? Do you remember your first time in London? Oh yeah yeah I remember my first time in London. Let me tell you what. London, 22 years ago, was a lot different than London now. Your first time was in 2000? Yeah. For a UFC fight? Yeah.

Do you remember the card? Or what the main event would have been? No, and I don't think we were here for a card. I think we were out here kicking around, looking to put on an event over here. Making deals. The first time we came over. Yeah, Lorenzo and I came over here. And what's funny, Lorenzo's here now, too.

He's like two doors down from me. Is he coming to the fights this weekend? No, he's just here. Just coincidence? Yeah, we came here like 22 years ago looking to put on a fight. Food was a lot different here then. Man, the food is much better now than it was then. Yeah, food was so bad.

Is everything better since 22 years everything's better here london has has changed a lot in 20 years yeah great restaurants great clubs great shopping um this is yeah it's a fun city now wow yeah i'm looking forward to like exploring myself um and before we get into the fighting stuff i also want to bring up that i think I could probably put an attempted murder charge on you for making me get VR and try and thriller the fight. I made it about two rounds in. I had to take the headset off before the fight was over. I called it in the corner. It's over. I'm done. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I try to explain to people how awesome that thing is and the kind of shape you get in using that video game. It's unbelievable. Do you go three rounds on that thing is and the kind of shape you get in using that video game it's it's unbelievable do you go three rounds on that thing yeah yeah well we when i first got it

i thought i was gonna have a heart attack too and i thought i was gonna die and uh i i kept using it and and it really does get you i couldn't keep my hands up by the end of the round it's awesome i went max holloway i was like let's just fucking throw down dude let's go and i just started swinging but yeah that was it's awesome so do you play it now do I was like, let's just fucking throw down, dude. Let's go. And I just started swinging. But yeah, that was... It's awesome. So do you play it now? Do you like it? I play that.

I got a Darth Vader game. You know, I'm whipping up the lightsaber, slicing people up. I got climbing videos where I could watch them climbing a mountain with Alex Honnold. Maybe your friend Jared Leto will be in the next one. I saw he was at the fights after we did the interview. He's coming to all the fights in Vegas. I'm telling you, man. He's a diehard fan.

Unreal. Patty the Batty. We're out here for Patty the Batty, obviously. What did you make of the hotel confrontation that he had with Ilya Teporya? Well, I only saw what I saw online. I don't know a lot about it yet. I know they got into it, threw some food at each other.

Yeah, his eggs. Patty's eggs went flying. When you see something like that, do you immediately reach out to the fighters? Do you just reach out to security and say, make sure you're on them? What's that like? Nah, this team is a well-oiled machine. These guys handle it. They got it all taken care of. I don't need to be calling people. I don't need to be calling security and saying, hey, make sure that doesn't turn into a, I mean, that's what security is here for. I saw the security guys with Patty last night, and they were using, like, military terms.

They're like, the eagle has landed. They were, like, for real about it. But you don't, like, scold, quote, unquote, scold the fighters for that? Or, like, you don't get, are you angry with them? No. No? You're just, like, part of the game? What do I say all the time?

This is the fight business, man. A lot of bad stuff, mean stuff. You know, a lot of bad words are said to each other, a lot of mean things, a lot of screaming, yelling, food throwing. Did you know they had issues coming into fight week? Did what? Did you know that they had issues coming into fight week or no? No, I had no idea.

Yeah. Did they? Yeah. Coming in, yeah. Just over like Twitter. They were going back and forth on Twitter and whatnot. Got it. What was the most security that the UFC ever had for a fight? Was it McGregor-Khabib?

Yeah, 100%. And it still broke out. Still. And we were ready for it. We were expecting it. We were ready for it. Looking back, is that the craziest night that you guys ever had in terms of someone jumping out of the cage for an attack? No. I mean, even as bad as it got, it never really got that out of hand.

True. Separated right away. Yeah, we got it under control fast enough. And if you watch the tape on that, there's a couple of guys that didn't move fast enough and they could have grabbed Habib before he jumped over that fence. Yeah. And, yeah. Fast enough and, you know, they could have grabbed Habib before he jumped over that fence.

Yeah. And, yeah. One of my favorite. That's not the worst we ever had. The worst we ever had was Connor when he showed up at the. In Brooklyn? Yeah. Yeah, obviously. And the team did a good job on that one, too, especially not expecting it.

Not everybody was there. Literally, we were wrapping up. Everybody was leaving. That was the last bus out. Yeah. One of my favorite moments from the night of Khabib McGregor is Khabib, the way he started his post-fight presser, he just went up and looked at the press and he said, I don't understand. Why are we still talking about this?

He's like, well, because you just did one of the most monumental things that we've ever seen in the cage. In the main event this weekend, we've got Tom Aspinall versus Volkov. This is a great fight. This is, I think, out of every fight on the card, the one I'm most split on where I'm going either way on it. And I just wanted to know, because we saw Volkov in the media day yesterday say that he had to fly for 24 hours straight to get here.

What was that like getting him out of Russia yeah um you know first of all we always have visa issues you know getting guys visas and getting them whatever but um one thing I must say think about what's going on right now we got every Russian out of there and you know they're all fighting on the card so was there a moment where you thought you weren't going to be able to get the russian fighters well it's not that we ever thought we were looking like oh we're never going to get these guys out you don't know how much more everything's i mean after covid when covid started shutting down things started shutting down it all happened so fast yeah i tell you the stories know, from back when it went down,

I would literally get all this stuff done, would leave work, drive home. By the time I got home, everything we had just planned would be... Cancelled. Yeah. All up in flames. Yeah. So it wasn't anything like that. Yeah.

You think if we see a big showing from the UK fighters on this card and they have a huge night that maybe the ufc could return to the uk before the end of the year i think we're planning on coming back here before the end of the year anyway awesome i saw paul craig like maybe making mention of that that like ufc was kind of throwing out feelers yeah yeah i think we're going to try and come back here again before the end of the year anyway. Awesome. And Darren Revell and Jake Paul, we had a hypothetical about them last interview where I said if you had to spend an hour

in a room with either of them, who would you pick? You picked Jake Paul. I'm going to kind of flip the hypothetical. I'm going to say if you had to spend 24 hours in a room with any fighter in the UFC roster, who would you actually want to pick? Who do you think would make that a fun time? Most of them.

I mean, there aren't many people on the roster that I dislike, and I don't even know these days if there's anybody I do dislike. Back in the past there was. You know, Till and Hamza, now that they're BFFs, you know what I mean? Yeah, the U3. I'm actually going to go to dinner with those two on Sunday. Get out of here. So I'll let you know.

Maybe it's those two. That's a good thing. But I'll let you know next time I see you. We need to see a picture of the three of you guys together, because that's MMA fans' favorite friendship in the world right now. It really is. It started with Till and Mike Perry. Remember, they were boys at first when Till said, do you want to go spa?

And he said, do you want to go to the spa? And he was like, no, want to go spar. He was saying it in his accent, which, oh, my God, the Scouse accent. I spent some time with Patty and his team. I was telling everyone. I understood about 10% of what they said over two hours. It was pretty tough. Yeah, he's got a hardcore accent.

He puts a, huh till and and uh homs not facetime me when i was getting on the plane and uh we're gonna go to dinner on sunday what did they facetime you to say just what's up yeah i think so i don't know i don't know because till had been in vegas and i i hadn't seen him since he'd been in Vegas. And yeah, they FaceTimed me when I was getting on the plane. Wow. It's got to take balls to FaceTime the boss, I think. I would never FaceTime Dave unannounced. I mean, I would get fired, I think.

Yeah? Yeah. Come on. Is he that bad? I mean, he's not bad, but you don't FaceTime the boss. Why not? Who the fuck is he that you can't FaceTime him? Give me your phone. Give me your phone. Who the fuck is he that you can't FaceTime him? Oh. Give me your phone.

Give me your phone. Who the fuck is he? Do you want me to pull him up? Yeah! Who the fuck is he that we can't FaceTime him? Oh geez. I don't think he's gonna pick up. What's up? What's up?

What's up? What's going on? So, so, so. Got him? He said he can't FaceTime you, that he'd probably get fired. He said if I ever FaceTime my boss, he'd probably fire me. No way. Listen, I knew he was in London.

I mean, I created with you and Patty, one or the other. What? That'd be FaceTime you get fired? Yeah. That's some fucking bullshit. I didn't think I could FaceTime you unannounced like that. Unannounced. Pick up. If he wasn't in London, I wouldn't pick up. There you go. Well, that's a different story.

Not picking up and firing you are two different stories. Okay. That's fair enough. Good seeing you. Bye. I can't believe he picked up. But I guess he knew I was in London, like you said. Oh, my God.

Yeah, my heart was racing as he was calling. I was like, Jesus Christ, this could be bad for me. I got another hypothetical for you. If, God forbid, someone came down to you and said, you have to leave the UFC tomorrow, you can't work for the UFC anymore, but you get to pick your successor, who would you pick to take your place on one day's notice? Well, it's funny because I see people say that all the time. And, you know, they think that this guy or that guy.

But it's people who really don't know fucking anything about this business. Yeah. And there's so much more. What we do, there's a formula to what we do and why we've been successful and uh there is a guy there's one guy that that you know and there's certain things that i do that he wouldn't be able to do but the important things that get done over there is what really matters. And this guy could absolutely positively do it.

Are you not revealing who the guy is? Well, nobody would even know who the fuck he is. Oh, a behind-the-scenes guy. Yeah, he's a behind-the-scenes guy. Interesting. Yeah, because the names that people throw out are like, people say like Daniel Cormier could take over. And it's like, I don't know if he wants to take over.

I think he's having fun doing commentary. Yeah, Daniel Cormier couldn't do. And it's like, I don't know if he wants to take over. I think he's having fun doing commentary. Yeah, Daniel Cormier couldn't do it. I'm sorry, DC. I love Daniel, but Daniel couldn't do it. I want to ask you about the last pay-per-view. We saw Colby Covington versus Jorge Masvidal, a huge grudge match. Colby beats him, pretty dominant fashion. There is that one moment in the fight where Masvidal really had him rocked.

Where do these fighters go from here? It seems like they're both in kind of a weird zone where it's like Colby, obviously, a third fight with Usman. Is that on the table right now? I don't know. And Masvidal on this little skid. Where do they go next?

Yeah. You know, there's fights to be made for those guys. I don't know. The bigger question is, you know, Colby after winning now, he's the second best guy in the world at 170 pounds. What does he want to do next? Where does he want to go? Does he want to keep fighting guys at 170?

Does he want to try to move up? Does he want to try to move down? I don't know. Yeah, I saw Chael Sonnen saying that he should move up and try to challenge Israel Adesanya, saying that Israel Adesanya needs a challenger like Colby Covington right now. He's saying he needs someone that will hold up there under the deal, really sell the fight, really go with him, go at him with animosity. How do you feel about that? But he couldn't go there and just fight Israel Adesanya. He'd have to take out like a Whitaker

or somebody like that. And that's tough to do. He'd have a hard time with that, I think. 100%. Because it's like, he feels like, we were talking about it on our Spinning Backfist podcast, where it feels like he is very comfortable at 170. And we see 185ers have trouble taking Adesanya down. So it's like, it would be a tough weight move.

But the fight itself would be interesting from a storyline perspective, of course. Yeah, it is impressive how Israel's wrestling is, you know, it's unbelievable actually. Coming from kickboxing and being able to wrestle the way he does now. And if he gets taken down, he gets up. Yeah, right up. Another thing, what is next for Howlerhead Whiskey? I see a lot of Howlerhead all over the place. I see the cars wrapped.

Anything new in the works? We just launched here. Yeah, we just launched. Oh, launched in London. Yeah, a few days ago. There you go. Yeah. There you go.

That's what's next for Howlerhead. Francis Ngannou just announced he's going to be out for nine months with knee surgery. Are we thinking probably an interim title again? Yes, probably. be out for nine months with knee surgery are we thinking probably an interim title again um yes probably do you like or dislike having to make interim title fights because i feel like the narrative is that like oh ufc loves throwing an interim title on but i feel like it might not be the same case with you like you'd probably just rather have francis not have surgery and go to this title i'd rather they don't exist, but you have to have them. They're a necessary part of the business. You got to have them. Yeah. Do you feel like you've had more interim titles in recent years than in

the beginning years of the UFC? And that's just by nature of more fights? I don't know. That's a good question. I mean, obviously there's way more fights that we had to use to have five fights a year. Now there's 44 fights a year. So, yeah, I don't know. It's great for page views for me to be able to say, you know, title on the line this weekend. And when the champ comes back, you immediately fight a guy that's already fought the number one contender. And there's no question who's the number one guy when you've got interim champ versus the champ. Have you heard from Stipe or Jon Jones in recent months? I personally haven't,

but that doesn't mean that the matchmakers haven't talked to him, and I'm sure they have. But, you know, those are two guys you'd be looking at. Two guys that obviously everyone's super interested in. Are we getting a UK-themed Fuck It Friday this week? No, it won't be UK-themed. Who do we got to fire for that? Missed opportunity. it won't be uk themed who do we got to fire for that missed opportunity yeah the problem is is that fucking friday's so big that i have to get it done so we got it done

before that has to be way bigger than you could have ever imagined right like a food thing it's bigger than anything i post it's the biggest thing that i post the thing does between three and four million views do you have any say on what you're going to eat or is the chef bringing something different to you every week? All the same, what we're going to do. Yeah. So they'll bring me like 25, 30 different things. Okay. We'll pick the ones that we think are the most fun.

And are you trying to pick things that are just out there and weird or are you trying to pick things that you're like, I don't know, that might be good. Like I don't want to bite into something disgusting. No, both. Yeah, this isn't Fear Factor. I'm not looking to eat anything gross, man. We're looking for stuff that's fun and good. Yeah. What was, I think I asked you what the best thing was. I saw recently you had the Mountain Dew wings and you said they were

actually good. They're really good. They're really good. The Mountain Dew wings blew me away. How good they were. You guys got to try that and you dipped them in cheetos too yeah one was cheetos and one was the mountain dew ones and the i actually expected to like the cheetos better because you think the mountain dew on the mountain dew is very good that's crazy yeah the soda out here has no sugar in it because there's a sugar tax did you notice that no like No. Like you can get a regular Coke, but like if you order a Coke, they're going to bring you a zero sugar one. Oh, no shit. Yeah, I didn't realize that until I got here.

A bit of a culture shock for a yank like me. Yeah, I didn't know that either. Are you a fan of the UK chocolate? I know you're a big sweets guy. Oh, yeah. The chocolate's very good here. That was the first thing Patty said to me. She said, you guys in America, you have shit chocolate, bread, and milk. You got to try some new stuff.

So I tried a galaxy bar. Really good. He's claiming their milk is better than ours. Yeah. You know, they leave the milk out on the counter like all day here. What? Yeah. For real? I think so. That's a thing? I think so. Room temp milk? Yeah, I think so. That's insane. Yeah. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they do. Another thing Patty said to me. But yes, their chocolate, that's all they talk about too. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Europeans always talk about how chocolate's better than chocolate.

Our chocolate's so much better. Our Kit Kats are better. But their chocolate is pretty good. When I tried it, I was like, all right, I got to admit, this is great. Legit, right? You can't deny it. He was also telling me, this was an argument me and Patty had last night. He said chocolate's not candy.

He said chocolate's a different thing. Candy is more like Smarties or Sweet Tarts or the gummies. And chocolate is its own separate category. Would you consider chocolate candy? What category is it? Chocolate. He says it's his own category. I'm like, no, you go to a candy aisle, you're going to see a Hershey bar.
