This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.

Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque.

Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Robert from the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast. Joe and I are both lifelong Star Wars fan, so we're celebrating May the 4th with a brand new week of fun, thought-provoking Star Wars-related episodes.

Join us as we tackle science and culture topics from a galaxy far, far away, such as the biology of tauntons and wampas on the ice planet hot, or the practicality and corporate business sense of the Sith ruling. of two. Listen to Stuff to Bole Your Mind on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The volume. All right, guys, welcome back to three rounds. So we've been off for a little bit. We had, obviously, the fight in London. And then last week, I was gone because, unfortunately,

we lost someone in my family. So I was trying to be supportive for my family and my sister. So I was gone trying to do that. But we're back now, right? And I've missed you guys. And even though we're going through our personal stuff, the MMA world has continued to move on. So I've got a lot to talk about, and I'm excited to be back. So I've missed you guys, and I'm excited that we're back to three rounds.

So it's time now to get to the fight. So let's go. So we're ready, right? We back. It's time for round one. I'm going to show you. Yeah, yeah. I'm experienced, man.

Round one. Horee, Milesvedal, called out Kobe Covington, Hamzaa Chimaya, Leon Edwards, Gilbert Burns. He pretty much called out everybody in the Waltoy Division. So GameBrand is finally getting ready to fight again as he competes at UFC 287 in Miami. It's a great opportunity for Mazvedal. And you can see in his behaviors.

You can see in his approach that Mazvadole recognizes it. That's one thing about Mazvado. While he has been on a bit of a slump in fighting, he's done a lot of things positively. to help his career in terms of media, getting game bread boxing going and everything else. But as he gets ready to get back into the octagon, it comes with the media rounds. And you start to try to build hype around your fight.

Well, last week, you go to the biggest platform they have in MMA, area of Hawani show, right? And he spoke about his fight. He spoke about the state of the division. Obviously, Kobe Covington, and his disdain for him is on top of that. he spoke about Hamzaa Chimayev. He also spoke about the new champion Leon Edwards. So you wonder about a guy that has lost as many in the role as he has.

Why is he talking about all these guys? Because he's a lightning rod, and he understands that. So what do you do? Shot number one goes to the guy that is considered the number one contender, saying he knows that Dana promised Kobe Covington a title fight, loves Dana. But ultimately recognizes that Dana says a lot of things, but believes whoever makes the most noise

is the one that will get a title fight. Now, Masvedol can say that also because of his history with Leon Edwards. Lastly, he said Kobe Covington is only the champion of calling the police. So these words in regards to Covington, while they may seem odd because Covington won the last fight, they just fought each other in the last fight

that both of them had. But these guys have a very bad history against each other, they can't stand each other, but he also recognizes that Kobe really doesn't have much of a pass with Leon Edwards. He's fighting Gilbert Burns, who's won two in a row, who's looked phenomenal, and he knows that if he beats Gilbert Burns,

he recognizes that he then has the opportunity to make that jump. To find himself against a guy, if you're in Miami, where he's going to be a pro-Mazved all crowd, he wins, gets in the middle of the octon and tells Joe Rogan, I want Leon Edwards Come get this biscuit Come get this two piece Dude the world's gonna go crazy

And Dana will look at that and go Hey man there's a lot of history to that Then he took aim at Hamzaa Chamaia He said about the Russian star F you You miss weight by eight and a half pounds Get the expletive out of here

And you're still talking about Nobody wants to fight you Go make weight Before we talk about fighting That's the first thing Don't do steroids Make the expletive weight that you agreed upon as an expletive man.

You're going to miss weight by eight pounds and then you're talking cool and you're calling people out. Get the expletive out of here. And then I saw him do a comment where he was calling out Alex Bahadah. Who are you, Hamzot? This is the world champion.

You don't even have an effing win over a top 15 guy. Get the out of here at 185. Out of vitro to Marcheuf. Because again, lightning rod. How do you get headlines? How do you get us talking about? you. That, that comment, that statement tells me, wow, Mazbid al's coming out guns of blazing.

Dude got the smoke for everybody. Even Hamzot, who is by many considered the scariest guy at Walter Waite, even though now it sounds like, it seems like he's going to be fighting at 185. Lightning Rod, smart by Gamebred, talk about him all. But ultimately, he's a three-to-one dog against Gilbert Burns. he still got that as an option, which he touched upon saying he recognizes how tough he is, but he called Burns a frontrunner, and once you get him tired or hit him,

Burns will start to falter. I don't know if I necessarily agree with that, but I get it, and I don't disagree with the way that he's playing the game, because I know that I'm more interested today than I might have been initially. The moment the fight was announced, excitement, then it starts to falter,

because the world moves as they go into training camp. But with that one appearance, Gamebred has made himself the talk of the town again. He hit Chamaev. He hit Covington. He hit Burns. Mazvedal understands the game. And all these quotes that he's doing,

that's promotion rule number one. Like I said, he's a three to one dog. But if you listen to him, Masvado doesn't question if he gets the job done. This guy wins impressively with this. Star Power? I could see him right in the conversation for a fight against Leon Edwards. Great job, Game Bread. Exactly what you were supposed to do. So we're in the round two, and we got to talk about Patty to Batty.

Patty Pimlet had some words for Jared Gordon from the hospital. Look, man, there's, you could tell when guys don't like each other. But if you're in the hospital and just have having surgery and you're taking time to make a statement and not only just a statement, like a mad statement and not hold back while in the hospital, you're big mad. Patty Pimble was big mad. He said that he wants to punch Jared Gordon's head in towards the end of the year. He said he wants to run it back. He hopes that Bobby Green gets beat by Jared Gordon because he said he's going to snap his arm in a round.

He said that he had a boxing match with him and still won. He goes, I hope Jared Gordon, watch this. You're a beep dog shit. At my worst, you couldn't beat me at your best. Injured, everything going wrong, and you couldn't beat me on my worst day. And I beat you on your best because you're a little bum. Now, look, Patty Pimlet got a lot of, uh, vitriol and public kickback after that fight against Jared Gordon, as he should.

Because one thing that I thought was odd about the Pimlet Gordon situation was Pimlet got the decision. It was a very close decision. It was a very, uh, disputed decision. but when he walked to the senator of the octagon, I thought that was mistake number one, right? He just acted as if it wasn't even competitive. Hey, hindsight is, I don't know if it's 50, 50 or some shit people say in the world like it. But now looking back, at least he admits that the fight was closer than he originally thought. But he's saying that he was hurt, injured.

Like he said, his best day, Gordon couldn't beat him. but he I think he has to take a bit of a different approach with this Jared Gordon situation because I don't know if I interviewed him before the fight and he almost dismissed Gordon right like Gordon wasn't on his level

and now he's saying he's going to get him out there very early I think the approach maybe needs to change a little bit to where he respects Gordon a little bit more after spending that 15 minutes in the octagon with him I'm not saying fear him I'm not saying be hesitant in your approach against him I'm saying respect him to the point

that you don't suffer from maybe having an expectation that when it doesn't come to fruition you seem a bit confused because Pimler did do some good things in that fight like let's just be honest about it I know people want to shit on him

and people want to talk about UFC bias and all that. That's not the case. I mean, how somebody last week scored the fight for Cheeto Vera. I love Cheeto Vera. But dude, he didn't win that fight. He barely won any moments in that fight.

If anything, he won one round. So to think that people just said Patty Pimlet needs to win this fight was kind of crazy. Judges make mistakes. A lot of times, judges make mistakes. A lot of times they make mistakes.

And I believe that was one last weekend with Cheeto and Corey Sanhagen, who looked great. But nobody is telling the judge how to score the fight for Patty Pimlet. But I think Patty himself needs to get a healthy respect for Jared. And then I believe that he would, then I believe that he would, maybe be able to have the type of performance that he expects of himself. Because when you put that respect on your opponent, it really does make you prepare better. It makes you more ready to pivot and turn when things don't go as planned.

It just raises your awareness. Now, he does not like Jared Gordon, but he should respect him. Because in the first fight, really close fight. Generally, we don't get these rematches early in career. Or the guys have to kind of come back together after winning some when they want rematches. But I will say this. I'm interested in this one even more now because I got to know if Patty Pimlich can do it better or what? Maybe Jared Gordon completes the job as he thought he didn't fight once.

So this one has some meat on the ball. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.

I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clipper Taylor the Fire. fourth. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football,

or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people

who are chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. Do you remember when Diana Ross double-tapped Little Kim's boobs at the VMAs? Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people.

I know what you're thinking. What the hell does George Bush got to do with Little Kim? Well, you can find out on the Look Back at it podcast. I'm Sam Jett. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we picket here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because.

of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your Now, guys, this one I'm really excited about. And I think it's possibly because of how close I am to the situation. But it's Henry Shihudo and Al Jermaine Sterling. This fight initially maybe didn't feel as big or it didn't feel as big or it didn't feel as as important as it should in a weight class that I didn't.

feel is the best weight class in the UFC. So last week we had Henry and Al Jermaine on DC and RC. The interview was crazy. These guys, I mean, they can't stand each other. And it's very apparent, right? Because something has changed. Something's drastically changed between these two. And you might say, well, it's promotion, right?

It's promotion. When we went to Henry's house and had those two together, It was cordial. When we were driving there, there was a bit of nervous energy from me. It was a bit of nervous energy from Aljo in terms of like, what's this going to be? Right? I'm going to this man's house who potentially could be my next opponent. But once we got there, Henry put that at ease.

I mean, we hung out. Like literally did the interview and then we hung out. Like literally sat and hung out. You couldn't get those two to hang out. anymore right away. Aljo was annoyed with him because Henry was a bit late. The first interview, it almost seemed like Aljo was just kind of like getting talked at because you could tell that he respected Henry because he was in Henry's trophy room.

He was at Henry's house and Al Jermaine Sterling, if he's nothing else, is a student of the sport and the student of the game and the student of combat sports. so you could tell that he respects Henry and Henry almost spoke at him almost like Al Jermaine this is what I'm going to do to you Al Jemaine this and Al Jal kind of sat there like he had his answers

but they weren't like this is this is my reality opposed to what your reality is not just last time not last time I believe the biggest difference in that second interview from the first was Al Jermaine Sterling because he was not going to just take and absorb what Henry Sehudo was saying to him.

He wasn't going to be sat and talked at. He wasn't. He was going to talk his talk. He was going to respond and he knew his truth. Aljo knew his truth in that second interaction. And if you don't know, I look at the numbers, the video on my channel, 400 something thousand. The video last week on ESPN's channel, 350,000, 400,000. People are interested in these two and their interaction and why wouldn't you be?

Because at the end of it, through all the talk, they are amazing fighters, absolutely amazing fighters. Henry has done nothing but win his entire life. And Al Jermaine Sterling, if you didn't respect him before, you better respect him now. Because what he does in that Octagon is really special. And as I talk to Henry Sehudo, I tell him that. I was in Phoenix yesterday. Interviewing Henry for a feature we're doing down the line in the bill to the fight.

We had somebody with Aljo yesterday in New York. And I said to Henry, I go, this dude's different, man. You got to respect Al Jermaine Sterling for who. he is and he while he does he still feels like he's too much Henry led me into his process yesterday guys it's like nothing I've ever seen before he's got this tablet it has these peaking phases up and down it's like he's got five sets of combat for mental mental body strength Henry Sehudo is not just going to practice every day and saying I'm getting ready for a fight His process is different, and that's why so many seek him out as a coach.

He's good. He's really good in preparation for what he has coming up athletically. So even though it may not feel like he respects Al Jermaine Sterling, I saw that tablet, and that tablet tells me that he absolutely does. But this one's different. And, guys, it'll be a competition between the two best Bannam weights in the world. Two of the best band-in-wates of all time.

And it goes to Newark, New Jersey, and I cannot wait. All right, so now for my final thought. So a reporter told Dana White the other day, Daniel Cormier said, Belal Mohamed should be next for the title fight. And Dana goes, well, D.C., while this is a nice statement,

doesn't make these decisions. I don't. I just sit up here and I speak to you guys. But here's the thing about media. we are always looking for ways to draw clicks. So you leave out particular parts of the argument. I did say that. Based on merit and win streak,

it should be below Muhammad. But there was another minute of reasons why I said, unfortunately, it's probably not going to be. Because at the end of the day, it doesn't always just come down to merit. And round one, I spoke about Game Bread and Kobe and Hamzat and all those guys. because all those guys have that history and that ability to draw. And in business,

sometimes that always takes the front seat. Bala Muhammad has something big in the works. He gets through that. He possibly gets that title fight that he wants so bad. But I stand on that. In terms of win streak and the things that he's done, he deserves it. Sadly, I don't think it's going to be him.

and honestly, in business, sometimes merit doesn't always garner you what you think that you deserve. Until next time, guys, like, subscribe, and keep telling your friends about DC's YouTube channel. See you guys next week. From Miami. Welcome to Miami.
