Marab de Wallis Willie, versus Corey Sanhagan. For Marab, he has got to score takedowns. You guys know that when Marab is winning, he is scoring takedowns. He's pressuring. He is putting it on guys. If he can do that, guys can't keep up with him. We have seen it time and time again, and Sanhagen will struggle in that same way.

And for Sanhagen, it's about defending takedowns, but to do that, he needs to be constantly in motion. He cannot be a stationary target for Marab. Marab goes forward so much that if you're standing there, you will struggle. Sanhagen has great footwork. He needs to use that to stay upright and use that. beautiful striking. Guys, that is my Roe Sparks performance playbook. If you want Roe Sparks, no waiting room, get it virtually.

It is about as easy as you can get to boost your performance in the bedroom. So go to roe.com slash DCTV to start today. Roe Sparks be winning, baby. And we're going to get a winner this weekend at UFC 320. Guys, Corey Sanhagan Childers for the Bandon Way Chamber. championship this weekend. Thanks for checking in with me. We haven't done this since Florida. But you know, like back in the day, you and I, like, you texted me and like we were talking. You're like, hey, man, I can tell like you're, you're like a nice guy. And we started talking,

became friends a little bit. We went through all this darkness. But you're like young, young guy, right, making his way and about to be a champion. And you're very appreciative of everything. And you might have had some money, but you weren't a millionaire. But that was a story that came out that said you were a millionaire now because you're selling people. pictures of your balls. Come on, Corey. You ain't selling pictures of your balls and making a million dollars. You little ball showing son of a bitch.

Which part don't you believe? I don't believe that. First of all, I don't think you're showing your balls, and I don't think that anybody's paying a million dollars for it. You're probably, I don't think that they would, but I ran this idea by my wife when that went viral. Why did that go viral? I don't know.

I just made a joke, and I just, and then people thought it was real. But serious journalists. like made articles about it. It was unbelievable. Yeah, it was crazy. So this is not true. No, no, no. Of course.

I asked Marab this, dude. I know. See, I was like, Maraub, you think he's really showing his balls for a billion dollars? But this is why I don't joke. This is why I don't talk. You want to know why? You want to know why?

Because you say, I can say like, Corey. We can be like, Corey, the worst shit happened in history. And you're like, yeah, man, that sucks really bad. Yeah. And they're like, Corey, like, man, I had the greatest practice. I tell the joke.

And your face will still be like this. There's no difference. Like, you don't laugh. You're not laughing. Like, your face stays like that. That's why I kind of stare at you. I'm like, what's he thinking? But that's why.

So it's like it felt real. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, your wife would kill you. Yeah, but, oh, this is what we were going to do, though, is I was going to, I asked her if I could do it by behind a paywall of like $100,000. And I was like, if someone. She caught fire. But if like, imagine no one would pay that much, I'm not that delusional.

I know that that's true. But if someone did, $100,000. $100,000. Just for a picture. And it would be like flattering. No, you just be my nuts. If you were to get $100,000 that, you have to grab your balls from the back and lean over. You'd be like, man, showing that ass for $100,000.

You're showing the whole thing, Corey. No. Corrie. Corey, you fight for the UFC Banderweight Championship this weekend. All jokes aside, man, it's been a long road. How good is it feel to finally be here? Yeah, it feels good. I'm really focused for this one.

I feel really good about it. Marab's definitely the toughest guy that I fought, but it's the most confident that I've been. And I feel like this camp in the last couple, or definitely in the last year, I think I've made strides, man. And I'm excited to show that to people. But why? What have you done differently to make those strides?

Yeah, I mean, I think a piece of, it's just me being mature. A big piece of it though is like really handing off the reins to my two coaches Carrington Banks and Trevor Whitman and just letting them mold me into the fighter that I am. I think that when you're like a creative guy and you're a fighter or just in general, I think it's really hard to, like you get too close to your work and you can't really see what you need and that's what you need other really good people for. And those guys I've kind of handed off the reins and they've molded me into something really, really good and I'm really pumped to show it because I feel like it's also a style But, or just a way of fighting that I feel like is just much different than how I usually do it.

And, yeah, I'm done talking. That was one of those, you just did it again. Did you catch yourself, though? I did, yeah. So you understand what I mean now? Yeah, I'm not very good at ending. Yeah, you're right. You get it.

Like, it's okay, though, right? We're still building into this media career that you and I started together. I watch Carrington and Trevor and those guys, and they seem like. proud, but they're listening because I feel you just said you're a very creative guy. Your style, you've got coaches, but obviously you develop that style. It feels like those coaches, though, while they are

coaching and guiding you, still can appreciate what you bring in terms of a mind to fighting because I watched him and I watch how they interact with you. Well, that's me. That's what I do. But I'm watching Trevor and they're kind of going, yep, and they're smiling and they're like, yep.

Because they know that you're smart. And if they cut you off, right, they take away what makes Corey Sanagan so unique, then you're not really going to be as good as you can be. It seems, from the outside looking at, it's a collaboration more than, you know, obviously you hand over the reins, but they're collaborating with you to bring this product to the world.

I think so, but kind of a little bit, but not really. Like, those guys are good, man. They're very good. Like, Trevor has, like, made a lot of champions. he's like I can trust that dude to be like he's not going to take away any of what I got he's just going to add on to it. Banks is the same. Banks like you know wrestling like wrestling most of you guys start when you guys are five.

Yep. If you're if you don't have like the already built in just nuanced things like where to put your weight in certain spots how to do certain things certain ways, it's really, really hard to learn that later and Banks is one of the hardest workers I've ever met and we just like wrestle three, four times a week, just me and him just going at it. And it's like I get to learn all of those things instead of like some coaches would just show you a move and be like, go do the move. Yeah. And that's not how wrestling works.

You know that. Yeah. So just working with him is just skyrocketed me. Especially when you're trying to add in those little feels. Yeah. Because if you haven't wrestled your old life, you don't have that feel in certain situations. Corey, so when I think about Marab Duolish Williams, he's a guy. guy that goes really hard, right?

He's a guy that's known for his cardio, but there's no way to fight 25 minutes and not be fatigued. Rob is mastered being fatigued but not showing it. When you're preparing, are you watching in some of those fights where he looks like he can fight for an hour and go, he's tired there. I can tell he's tired there. Is anybody picking up on that? Yeah, for sure.

I mean, my coach Carrington brought that up. He was like, hey, man, like, just to be clear, this whole. narrative around Marab being an absolute animal and having the best cardio on planet earth is is not real like that dude gets tired the same way other people get tired but it's just body language yeah and he's a tough dude and he's super dedicated to the sport and um and he's just about it you know like you can tell when some fighters are like ah I don't really know why you're here and why you're not Marab's here I think to be the best in the world and to at least strive for that yeah and those types of guys they they hide their body language they're

tough. They're real good, but he's not invincible. Well, you do that too. You do a good job of not seeming fatigued inside the Octagon.

We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.

But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers.

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything

happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jen she win. I mean, she went down in three to Roebuckina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lennar Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Were you surprised at how easily he got through Sean O'Malley in that last fight? Not really, to be honest. I think that, I mean, O'Malley sat for the first three months because he had to get surgery after that fight. You know, he didn't really get to train for that entire three months. And Marab's a workhorse. Like, I guarantee you, when he loses on Saturday, on Monday he's going to be in the gym still working out, you know.

And so, no, I think that Marab will always incrementally get better. And I don't know that I can say the same for when you're hurt, you know. Is your style because of the movement going to make it harder for him to track you? Because that's one thing that you present that not many of his opponents have. Is that ability to be in, out, left, right, moving, pivoting, turning, rotating, and moving him. Most guys can't do that. Yeah, I mean, I built a style around that for sure. I also have a lot of other things that I'm going to show in this fight that people haven't seen.

Yeah, I mean, it's really hard to take down someone that moves that much. Yeah. Yeah, it's super hard. It's really annoying. But yeah, it's going to be tough. I just don't want to say too much about what it is and I'm doing or whatever because this is a big fight. And I'm definitely putting this out.

This is not good. The stuff we talk about upstairs stays till you get in the octon. This is going right on the internet. So that's my disclaimer. So you go and slip up. That's on you. Yeah, I won't slip up. But you have to worry about you.

You can't worry about what Marab does. But in worry. about you, right? How are you judging your preparation? How are you judging? Like, how are you taking note? How are you taking, uh, how are you tracking your improvements? Like when you go home at night and you lay next to your wife and you go to bed and you close your eyes, do you sit and you visualize and go, man, I have done every single thing necessary to win this fight. Yeah, absolutely. I also like to where I am mentally. Like, um, before it was like, like, I just viewed the sport really technical. Like if I do, if I have better shit than this other guy, then I'll win, as long as I do it at the right time.

But for this one and the last couple camps, it's been about breaking everyone. And I really like that mentality. And I think that it's really going to carry over and help in this one. But it's just like a different level that I've hit where I feel like now when I go spar with guys, it's not like, let me do good stuff. Like now it's like, I'm going to break this person and he maybe has two rounds in him if he's lucky, but after that, like, I'm going to tear him apart. How many guys are going through spars with you if you're doing five rounds? There's no way one guy's doing five rounds with you. Oh, no, no, no.

I get a new partner every time. I go rounds all the way up to eight rounds. You do eight rounds of sparring? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like my really hell week, and then the two before that are seven round week. So, yeah, it's a lot of sparring. I get really tired. I feel like crying after me.

Yeah, it's exhausting. Yeah. When you, Corey, if you become the world. champion, what will that mean to Corey Sanhagen? Like, have you allowed for yourself to live that, right, to visualize that, to put yourself in the T-Mobile arena, Dana White wrapping the belt around you and new Bannonweight World Champion? Have you allowed for yourself to experience that so that when you experience it on Saturday night, you get that warm feeling of, man, I've been here before.

I deserve this. Yeah, I mean, I've thought about it every day for the last since I got the phone call, you know. But more than that, man, I see this just as one step on the ladder. Like, I know for, in order for me to be viewed the way that I want to in my career, I got to go out in 2026 and beat Umar, beat Yon and beat O'Malley. So that's my plan after this one. And Marab and winning a belt is important to me, but so is everything else that comes afterwards, too. And I'm pumped for it, man. What really excited me about fighting Marab is one, he has so much, like, attention around. Yeah, people love him.

Two, I was like, oh, so it's not too late for me to still create this legacy because Marab's beating guys that I haven't beaten. So I go out and beat Marab and my stock can just jump through the roof and that's what I plan on having it. It's the most important fight in the Banimate Division to beat him

at this stage because of the domination he's had over the division for a long time and the momentum that he has right now. Your ability to look at that though, like with a clear mind, it speaks to what I talk about when you and I where to speak, and I tell you how you're a smart person that can be an analyst. It's like you can step outside of yourself and recognize how much more important it is

than just that championship. Yeah, definitely. I mean, I think a lot in the future anyways. But yeah, man, I mean, I don't think the belt is going to give me a little bit of a bigger head, but I really see it as like the work isn't going to, like this shit is not going to get any easier until I hang up the gloves and I'm all done. Yeah. So I don't, I don't, I'm not like getting ahead of myself as like, oh, this is the end.

This is when I do it, you know, like this is, the work is really going to start when I win this thing. Yeah. It's a big time moment for you. Yeah. Saturday night you have an opportunity to become a UFC champion. Yeah. I hope that you and your family have taken account of what you're in store for. And it feels like you haven't taken, you've added no pressure on yourself to go in and try to chase down an outcome or have an outcome in a certain way.

that's to be commended. Yep, thanks. Congratulations on everything. Guys, Corey Sanhagan, challenges for the UFC Bannamweight Championship this weekend. Fight for Rob DeWallis-Willi. Make sure you hit the pay-per-view button, ESPN plus pay-per-view,

and go tap into everything San Hagan is doing. Sorry, guys, there are no ball shots, but you can still look at that little pretty face, huh? Still, no smile. He just doesn't do it. He doesn't give anything. What you did? You and Dominic Cruz.

Do you talk to Cruz? No. Yeah. I'd love to sit and have a conversation with you too. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, it'll be crazy. You would just stare. The fact that you both are so smart and think that you're right,

it would make for the most incense conversation of all time. Guys, until next time, like, subscribe, and tell you friends about DC's YouTube channel. I'm checking in with people like Corey Sanhagen. Until next time, peace. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe.
