So, you know, the world of mixed martial arts is constantly moving. And as a person that's been involved with it on both sides, the athlete, the broadcaster, in all these other different roles that I've played,

you always find it interesting when things start to build steam and people start to engage with each other in terms of fight building and fight promotion. Right now, we have a guy in Kobe Covington and another guy in Ian Gary who seem to be doing the dance, right? The dance that says, I want to fight you, we just don't have a specific date

where they're going to fight or at least they say they want to fight. They just don't know when and they don't know where. Ian Gary says that it can happen anyway so he could fight him in Miami, he could fight him in England,

he could fight him at International Fight Week, he can fight him anywhere, right? And Kobe is still engaging him, but Kobe isn't giving him any type of date So my question becomes why? Why? What's the hold up?

Because we have made social media posts. We have called each other out. We have grabbed the microphone, wherever the microphone is located, and we have spoken that other man's name. Why have we not come to some sort of conclusion or I start moving in the direction of a fight date and a fight location? I don't get it. Ian Garry said he wants to leave this man in a pool of blood.

But Ian Gary is now selling make MMA hats, make MMA great again hats in blue, opposed to red. As you all know, Kobe Covington supports, quote, President Trump. Ian Gary said he wants to defend his wife's honor all the while. Kobe Covington is insulting the man's wife. If there is anything in the world that points to two guys that need to fight each other, it is all the actions that are being displayed by these two gentlemen, Ian Gary and Colby Covington. Yet and still, we don't have a date and we don't have a location.

When you look at him in terms of matching up, this would seem to be the ideal path for Ian Gary, while it would seem to be very dangerous for Kobe Covington. Because Kobe Covington has now lived at the top of his division. For a really long time, he's been 1A, or sorry, 1B to Camaro Usman's 1A. New change in the division. Leon was the man. Kobe lost to him too.

So right now he seems to be in a place where his fight or his career doesn't have much direction. Beating a guy like Ian Gary lends itself to him going back in the right direction. But what is that direction for Kobe Covington? What does Kobe Covington fight for today as a guy that has fought for championships his entire career? What motivates him? It would seem to be the big fight. does the Ian Gary fight feel like that to him? It should because competitively, you got to beat the guy

that wants to be the up-and-comer or that seems to be the up-and-comer because regardless of what you think of Ian Gary, I know a lot of people get annoyed with him. And it seems like the world that's changed on this young man. They've turned on him. He can fight. He can fight. It don't matter what you think about someone's personality or anything.

You have to respect the skill love. And Ian Gary has a really high level skill, level of skill. He does. Kobe Covington, after the fight with Leon Edwards, may not be looking forward to being in there with another long-ranging striker. It just might not be. He just might not be. But the actions say, let's fight. Now it's time to put pin the paper.

We have got to find a way now to get these athletes locked into an octagon. to fight each other. That's just the way it is. They have to fight. They have to fight. Because when you hurl the insults and you say that man's name and you constantly talk about him, his life, his life outside the octagon, when you now start taking personal shots at Kobe's political views the way that he feels on that side, things that matter to Kobe Covington. Now you got to fight. I believe that international fight week works perfect. I don't know that there's enough time now for Kobe Covington to accept the fight. You know, very rarely do I get completely left in the dark.

So a lot of times when I'm talking to you guys about stuff, read between the lines. I will say things that I know that I can't just come out flat out and tell you. I just can't. But I kind of know. I'm telling you right now that I'm in the dark. I don't get it with this one. It just seems like it's a match made in heaven. It seems like these two should be going to fight in each.

other but it's not happening there's always a fight to be made especially when you have a guy that has the momentum of Gary and a longtime veteran that has fought the elite of the sport like Covington look at it we're seeing it right now with roba Whitaker and hamzaa chamois at 185 and that doesn't even have the bad blood that this one has when there's bad blood guys and the story makes sense the rankings make sense, the path of their career trajectory makes sense, usually the fight can get made pretty easy.

I want you all to know, tell me, or try to help me figure out why we haven't gotten an announcement on this one. I believe that we're at a point now where Kobe's got to fight him. I think Kobe has to fight him. He has to fight him. because the one thing about Kobe Covington,

and granted, I'm a guy that gets along well with Covington. I like Kobe Covington. I think that Kobe Covington is playing a role, and it annoys a lot of people. But I like Kobe. But the one thing about Kobe was for all the things he said and for all the annoyance and the way that he messed with people, he always showed up to fight anybody.

There was never a matchup that he said no to. I think we're at a point now with this Ian Gary thing where he has to fight him. Because with all the insults, with all the things he said personally, professionally, now you've got to go and fight him because that's what he's always done. When he spoke about Kamar Usman in weird ways

or in disrespectful ways, he fought Kamar Usman. When he talked about Leon Edwards, he fought Leon Edwards. When he talked about anybody. he fought him if that was an option Chale Sunnan was another one when Chale was disrespectful to Anderson

he fought him when Chale was disrespectful to Brian Stan I don't know how you could be disrespectful to Brian Stan he fought him at the end of the day if you are going to take this role or if you're going to play the villain in everybody's story the villain always has to get his comeuppance or whatever they call that where he has to at some point

step in front of the sword and fight. He's got to step on that battlefield and he's got to show that he's willing to stand behind his words. And I think that's where we're at right now in this Kobe Covington Ian Gary deal. Kobe's got to stand up on his words now and go fight that man. And if he beats him, now we still continue

to think that he's in the championship picture because very rarely do you get guys that regardless of how many times they win or lose in championship moments, they continue to get chances. I think Kobe Covington is one of those guys. 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.

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.

Do you remember when Diana Ross double-tap 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 Jek. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick you here, unpack what we. went down and tried 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 all day, but just so you 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 podcasts. Below Muhammad wins against Leon Edwards. I don't think it's unrealistic to believe that Kobe Covington could fight for the belt again. I don't. I don't. But he's got to beat guys like Ian Gary. And for Ian Gary, now you go and beat Kobe Covington.

And you're in the conversation with guys like Shavkot, who are like right there, maybe one step shot. I think this puts him ahead of Shavkat, even though Shavkot is and has been the person that's on the tip of all of our tongues in terms of the next guy at Walterway. He's got to find a way to get that fight. Right now, Ian's poking and prod and doing the right things.

He's got to do more. And I think Kobe's got to fight that man. Because the villain always, you know, we all hate the villain. We all hate the villain. But we're supposed to hate the villain. The villain understands, the bad guy understands that he's going to be booed and he's going to be disliked. But he finds comfort in knowing that he's drawing the reaction out of you

that you are supposed to give to him. But every time you've got to face the fight. Rick Flair, when I was a kid, I hated him in the four horsemen. Rick Flair always faced a fight. And every other professional wrestler, every other bad guy, the Detroit Pistons, when they were the bad boys, they were ruthless, they were physical, they would hit people, they would play bad basketball. Them dudes did it every single time. Win or lose, you got to show up. And right now, I think that our bad guy has to show up.

I think Kobe Covington's got to face the fight. he's got a fight Ian Gary and I cannot wait for it. I think it's going to be fantastic if these two match up because I think it's a great matchup with all the history it's going to be fun. I believe it's one of the bigger fights that we could make

that doesn't have a championship attached to it. Guys, thank you guys for the continued support. I love each and every one of you. Tell your friends to tell their friends at D.C.'s got a YouTube channel and I'm dropping this type of knowledge on you every single

week. And next week for UFC 300, we're going all in, y'all. We're checking in with everybody ahead of the biggest fight card of all time. I'm going to give you unrivaled backstage access next week for UFC 300.

But tap in today, in the comments, let me know. Does Kobe have to fight him? You guys let me know. Until next time. Peace. Another podcast from some SNL, late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman
