Even though Ali tried to keep us apart. Keep a leader. Yes, yes. I told the old story after. Huh? It's a lot of camera. I told the old story. You tell me, you tell me the whole story? He's, yeah, because, you know, and, you know, and, you It is, you know, many, many, I sent him to fix you.

See this? Many, many, people love Islam. Yeah, because your channel have more views with me. Did everybody. You see this? This is crazy. This interview started? We like the perfect partnership.

This is the way the interview needs to go. It's like this. Not you, though. You need to stay on the interview. What's up, Champ? How you feeling? Good. I've been trying to, this fight with Dustin Poria.

I think this is a very important fight for you. Right. Because of his standing in mixed martial arts interiors. I feel like in order to build the star, you have to go through the stars of the past. Do you understand what that means? Do you feel like Dustin Porier plays that part? Yeah.

Dustin, one of the biggest name in my career. I know this. Maybe Oliver Volcanovsky, but Dustin, I think, it's a high-level name in this sports. because these guys have crazy experience, beat Lara tough guys, fight for the belt many times. That's why I'm very excited.

You know, when you fought Alexander Volcanowski the last time, you knocked them out, you're sitting there waiting and you're watching all these guys fight in essentially a tournament to see who gets you next. It's Justin Gagee. If he gets through Max, he wins. He'll get you. Armand Sarukian, Dustin Pori, and Binwaz Sandini.

Did you expect Dustin Poirier to be the guy that came out of all of this? Honestly, like 50-50. I expect like Dustin is going to be next, but I feel someone after UFC 300 took the chance. Because if Alivairo beat Armand, I think he would say yes. But Armand say no. And I understand when Armand beat him, he will say no. Why?

Why did you think Armand would say no? Because I don't know what this guy needs to fight with me. He always talk about this fight, always won't very much. But when he has chance, he always say no. It's not first time. It's not the first time he said no to the fight? No, it's not first time. He wants a full training camp.

I don't know what he wants. But I don't give him some small chance. First time I beat him all three rounds. Not on every scorecard. One round was 29, 28. I beat him all rounds. In your opinion. In George opinion

One judge gave him 2928 Islam Brother watch again What did the judge say? I don't know what the judge say But I am beating on unanimous decision You did one unanimous decision I had an argument the other day And people speak about resumes

And they say how your resume doesn't match up to dust and pouriers Do you hear that And does that annoy you when people try to say Well Islam's resume he has not been through all the best in the division to become the champion. But it's not makes sense. I beat the guy who beat him too, you know. That's why.

I agree with this. He have more big name on his list, but it's mean nothing. They wouldn't fight you, though. I keep telling people, I'm like, when he was trying to make his way to a championship, it was hard to get the fights, right? Brother, how many times you remember somebody call my name

when I'm not champion? I don't remember some guy. who on top call my name I want to fight with Islam all my life I have the problem but finally I finish this now the people want belt yeah and they got to go to me but I don't give you know what's kind of weird right now as I sit and I talk to you you like a you're kind of like a you're like a you're like a big time star now you different guy you you you know you know this huh but I'm but no you know I don't feel it I can feel it in your behaviors

Because of me trying to get you to sit down and do this interview The way Ali told me. I believe Ali. I think I believe Ali because I'm looking at you right now. Brother, last month, how many times I spoke with you? Just one time. One, just second. Because I give you.

What you give me? I give you Bruce. You called me last year, come to my podcast, come to my podcast. And I come and make your... Yeah, you are right. Then it was Ali. It was Ali, right? Because you always do.

So Dustin Porier, what can he present problems for you? Be honest. Dustin, brother... Where can he present problems? Brother, if I stay in his distance, if I play his game, he's a very dangerous guy. And people know this, I know this. He have very, very good boxings. Somebody say, Max Holloway have best boxing in his game, but Dustin beat him, and I believe he has best boxing.

He's got a good right hand. to right hook. Right hook, right hand. And like, boxing is very good, but UFC is not boxing. You see it's MMA. That's why I'm my best MMA fighter. I have boxing, wrestling, and grappling. You know, everything I watched in the buildup,

Dustin said he's going to knock you out in this fight. I've also seen Dustin training with Matthias Gamrod, who's a phenomenal wrestler himself. it seems like he's doing all the things that he needs to do in order to give himself an opportunity to be successful against you also taking from the fight with Habib how much do you think he could take from that fight and apply it to the fight with you it's not something you can learn from the couple months or one year

wrestling you have to wrestle all your life from beginning from your kids you know it's not like you can learn from one year, two years, three years. I know he doesn't believe he can beat me. He doesn't believe he can give. I can give him some chance, you know. That's why I will step inside the cage, pressure him, make him tired and finish him.

You don't think that he believes he can win this fight? 100%. I don't. Why? Because, you know, his prime time is finished and I'm a worse opponent for him right now. 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.

Listen to stuff to blow your mind on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Can you look at any of Dustin's past opponents and look outside of Kabib and go, I know I can do this same thing to him and put him to a point where I think I can break him? What all like high-level resting guy did with him?

I can do this easy, much easier. Do you believe? I mean, I don't know, man. I'm calling the fight. How you don't know? I take you down. No. How I'm not taking down, Dustin?

Let's see. Romero Cotton's video again. We're going to do this again. We'll go to Romero Cotton's video again and... Brother, you always bring your camera guy and where I take down, you cut. This is true. That's not true.

That is not true. When Romero Cotton raised the hand, when Romero Cotten goes to the center, who hand he raised? Brother, it's your guy, brother. It's your guy. We were all teammates. No, no, no, no.

It was just the same. This is a bullshit decision, brother. There was a bullshit decision. Islam, the, uh, your goal is to be the best pound for unfound. in the world which you are right now. Is there a certain way you need to win this fight this weekend over Dustin Porier? Yeah, that's why I have to make this fight easy and show my level to the all world.

Who's the toughest matchup for you in this division? Because I'm watching right now you're telling me that the number one contender right now, Dustin Porier, you need to beat impressively. Who do you think at 155 can present problems for you? Armand? I mean, Armand, it's universally thought that Armand gave you the toughest fight of your career. Brother, I don't see someone who can give me tough fight. I have other goal, other target. I want to jump other division.

Maybe there have some big guy, but I know I can be a double champion. The champion at 170 is? Like you. The champion at 170 is? Yeah. I can be... Who's the champion at 170?

Edwards. Remember before you couldn't remember his name? No, I know his name from the first day in his... US I'm training at AKA you guys trained together yeah I know him he gave you many problems that day I remember his training session who gave him Leon Edwards give you many problems that this is my first sparring in US he gave you many problems that I see this I watch now people understand you why in brother so so you guys didn't train together we did my first sparring in US with Leon

okay okay I stepped the case coach how say I don't understand I don't speak English he said have you this guy very good strike and I was thinking, wow, I cannot lose first parting in the U.S. in the cage. In the cage, this is my first parting in the cage. And when time is beginning, I go to double leg, take him down. But that time, he's not good wrestler. He learned wrestling. Yes, he come to learn.

But he's not. But right now, maybe he's good on wrestling. He can defense. But that kind is like a big point wrestling. And I take him down, hold him. Another storyline in this fight is Dustin's guillotine. That's become like a whole It's taken on a life of its own

Something you make this joke brother He has good guillotine You make this joke I didn't make it a joke You make it a joke because you start to smirk When you say it because It's almost feel like you don't think he can ever catch you in a guillotine Brother

I don't remember when Dustin Catch somebody with the guillotine He hasn't got one yet He jump He's jump a guillotine but he hasn't got a guillotine Yet I hope one day But it's not gonna be me You know what's

You know what's kind of crazy? You know what's kind of crazy about you? You like these? You like this orange? No, no, no, orange. Why? I like GoPro. Yeah, you did.

You remember last time you and I, we sat down with Alexander Volcanowski. Uh-huh. And you laughed at his wrestling. Uh-huh. And then when you guys had that fight the first time, he took it out. You don't think that maybe sometimes you should, like, not make fun of people? When he took me down? He took it on in the fifth round.

Didn't he take you down in the fifth round? No, he learned good punch, brother, not take it down. He tried to take me down a lot of times, but no, it's not working. Brother, you know my wrestling. You do have a good wrestling. I defend you, like, heavyweight guy at house, like small guy take me down. I watched Chase taking on. Chase, please.

The last time when you tried to run out the wrestling room. Brother, people make memes with Chase, please, but forget. You know kids started doing this? Like, everywhere I live now, people try to do this, what we do the chase. teach your guys brother this is the greatest I can come your class and give some master class you know in that move yes not just moved like lower things I have you said you wanted to fight back in the United States how excited are you to be back in New Jersey have an opportunity to fight back here and I'm very happy to fight here and I want again come to a Madison

Come to a K. When you last time in the K? When you last time in the gym, man. I went... Huh? You see? That's the problem with you now. You're very disrespectful.
