This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.

you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. 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 ice. Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Winning on Clay is an art. The rallies are relentless. And at the French Open, only the toughest survive. I'd know. I competed there for decades. Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast for no-nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris. She can win.

She's an outsider to win the French fame. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any service.

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. All right, folks, we are back on the weight concept presented by the Ring Magazine. And today, I am taking a look at the face-to-face that went down almost a week ago now. I don't know how I didn't see this, but I definitely missed it between Salt Poppy and Tony Ferguson for Missing.

Misfitsits 22, what are they, I forgot what it's called. I'm working the card. King of Thrones? Ring of Thrones. I'm sorry. I should have known that. But Ring of Thrones. It's going down A.O. Arena.

It features Daryntil, Luke Rockhold, in the main event. We're going to take a look at the face off for the co-main event between Tony Furge's and Salt Poppy. It also has Dylan Dennis versus Warren, the mechanic Spencer, and Misfits' first Fourier into MMA. But today, I want to get into the face-to-face that happened between Super Salt Poppy and Tony Ferguson. Because listen, this fight is interesting for multiple reasons. I want to see if there's any mental games being played or whatever else we can take away from Tony Ferguson's minds. Really, I just want to see where Tony's mind is. Because I think I know where Salt Poppy is.

I know what he's going to bring to this fight when he's super dangerous. But I want to see what does Tony Ferguson have? What is he thinking is going to be different this time around in boxing versus, you know, what's going on with him in MMA and the age, experience, wear and tear, all that. Let's take a look. But before we do, I want to say a big thank you to the sponsor of today's video. And one of the coolest things I've ever done is being the snacked down champ with drumstick. Guys, if you didn't know, this weekend, I was out at SummerSlam.

That's right, day one and day two. I got to see all the WWE superstars, the fans. I got to go to MetLife Stadium. It was awesome. And it was all thanks to America's favorite snacks since 1928. drumstick. Drumstick allowed me to come out and showcase their snack to the world. And again, it was awesome because I got to show people what it meant to partake in the best snack in the world. And to just showcase drumstick in the best way possible. On day one, I was talking to fans,

having them cut promos for me, introducing them to the snack, showing them the delectable treat between the beautiful cone, the vanilla taste, the chocolate topping nuts as well. Everything in a delectable sweet treat. Day two, we actually got to go into the stadium. That's right. I got to go ring side at SummerSlam Day 2 where all the superstars were wrestling, taking their bumps, entertaining the crowd, the masses of thousands of thousands of people. And I got to be there with Drumstick highlighting it all. If you guys want to learn more about why I'm so excited about drumstick, why I was so excited to work with them and hopefully can in the future. Yes, it's because it's America's favorite snack since 1928. But it's also because they have a summer

snack down sweepstakes going on right now. Click the link in the description and make sure you guys check it out for yourselves. You do not want to miss all the cool prizes that come with it. Other things that they're offering over there. Make sure you guys follow Drumstick on Instagram. That link will also be in the description. And once again, check out the Drumstick summer snack down sweepstakes. Thank you to Drumstick for having me out for sponsor in this video. But now let's get back into the face-to-face. Face. Let's see what happened. All right, so let's check this out. Tony Ferguson saw Poppy face-to-face with our guy, B.L. running the show. Let's see what happened.

I'm making the walk for my first time. You have eight fights and I have zero. Everybody's underwriting me. They're saying he's gonna knock me out and everything. 90%. Tony, you're fighting a fucking info. God, if we're gonna get the Tony Ferguson math again, 90%. Also, they were supposed to,

they're supposed to be using these subtitles to say what he actually said. Tony keeps saying people are underwriting him. I think he means to say that people are underestimating him for this fight. I'm not sure who's Tony's underwriter, but I don't know that he understands what that word means. Everybody's underwriting.

They even said underestimating. They got you, Tony. Those captions saved you. They're saying he's gonna knock me out and everything. 90%. Tony, you're fighting a fucking influence. So there goes the other 20% that all fucking negative. No, he did it again.

We're not even into the video. It's just a preview. And Tony is saying that 90-20 again. Someone needs to get with Tony Ferguson and let him know that 90% plus 20% is not 100%. It's 110. Maybe he just thinks 110% is how his life is right a 110% effort 110% of fans 110% of profit i don't know he tony has got his own way of doing things so maybe it's just you know his inner workin's coming out any person who's got the

fucking balls to walk through the door and to stay there is a fucking fighter bro i'm gonna go out on august 30th and i'm gonna handle everything that i need to go and get that victory have you watch any of its fights and what do you make of them dangerous i'm dangerous so you know this is your biggest moment. I was going to say, we're 32 seconds in. I don't know. Is this like a preview? Because Salt has said nothing, which again, I don't expect him to say anything, but like Tony is carrying right now. Also, Tony's pants look like, like football pants with like thigh pads at them. I love it. Tony, Salt is a pleasure to see you both. To be honest, I am so surprised I'm seeing this face off right now. I'm not going to lie. I don't even know Salt Poppy's actual name.

That's crazy. I've known him for like five years now and I don't know his name. I'm the asshole in this situation, but just hearing Tony, so I don't know his name. It's got announced. I had to double check. I had to refresh. I think the whole world was refreshing because they didn't believe this were going to happen. So I'm actually going to come to you first. When you got that phone call from Mance Taylor to say you were fighting this man, that you were fighting a former UFC interim champion. What was your reaction to that? I mean, I was shocked. Like, I really can't believe because, and obviously not a lot of people get this type of opportunity. And so I'm, like, I'm.

Like I'm so grateful for Misfit boxing for giving me this fight, big fights back to back. And, yeah, when I heard that I was going to fight Tony Ferguson, there's something I couldn't say. Now I'm going to be sharing the ring with a legendary fighter. And yeah, I can wait. That's it. And Tony, I'll ask you the same question when you got the cool. I mean, Misfits does clearly think of Salt Poppy as like a superstar.

You look at his social numbers. They're ridiculous. like he does have a high level of social interaction. He's got charisma. He's got swagger. He can fight. So they look at him as someone that can take over the mantle. Potentially, you know, to some degree with, I think it's going to be more than one person

that's going to have to fill the void of KSI when he stops fighting. But so Bobby, they look at as one of those guys. Even after the slim loss, even after the Anthony Taylor lost, they look at him as a guy to lead whatever they're going toward in the next two, three years. So, yeah, I mean, he keeps getting these massive opportunities because he does deliver. Even in losses, he delivers fun fights. So they clearly see him as a star, which is why he's gotten this opportunity. And he said, you're fighting Salt Pappy.

Did you even know who Salt Pappy was? No, Daniel, right? Nathan. Nathan, Nathan. Okay, I forgot. Yes, he's told me his name before. He said Daniel. Me and Tony Bo, but look at the respect from Tony here. No, I didn't know. When it goes in.

Nathan, okay, all right. Nah, we do a salt poppy is a good stage name, all right? Right. To YouTube and it goes into influencers and TikTok. I don't have anything against it. I'm going to be real. I wasn't competing. When everybody was doing everything, I saved it for when it really mattered, like now, which is pretty cool.

So, I mean, nothing against you. I really don't know, but I know you have, what, eight fights? Eight fights. Eight fights, and I have zero. This is my pro debut. I was never allowed to box. So it's different. In MMA, it's different.

We have no shoes in MMA, and we have to worry about takedowns. So now it's different. It's an opportunity for me to be able to go in there, play another sport. I come from multi-sport background when it comes to that way. So it's awesome. As soon as I got the phone call to be able to box, nothing against GFL that's still there. But I don't need to stay busy. I like to fight.

I like to compete. I don't know if anybody needs to let Tony know, but GFL is not still there. I'm sorry, Doc. Like, you know, I know that Tony was supposed to be one of the big signies at GFL. and I think he was even supposed to fight Dylan Danis, I'm not sure, but someone has to let Tony know. That shit is not happening. That ship has not only sailed, it set sail and crashed immediately. Nobody's protecting their neck at GFL.

It's not happening, dude. And this dude went from a lot of big heavyweight all the way down to where he's at, and I don't think a lot of people give social media influencers a lot of credit because an athlete's... I'm sorry, I got to stop again. What did Dylan say in my interview about what Salt Pommi was? Because Tony's talking about, you know, Salt Poppy losing weight, and he started at heavy weight. Now he's come down to, I think they're fighting at like 160, 170. I'm not sure.

But when I asked Dylan why he wasn't fighting Tony, he said Tony's fighting someone that started fat to skinny. I don't even know what Tony's doing. He's fighting someone that started fat to skinny. Dylan's the fucking man. I know. Y'all hate him, but he's the f***ing goat, dude. In my opinion, and we're going to go in there. He's going to try to hit me.

I'm going to try to hit him, so it's going to go out there. Have you watched any of its fights? Of course. And what do you make of them? Uh, it's outpaw. Dangerous? I'm dangerous. Can he cause you any issues?

Not unless I want him to. How about you? You've obviously seen his fights. Yeah. I'm not gonna lie. Saltpati can cause Tony some issues regardless if he wants him to or not. I don't think Tony is taking him lightly. I don't really know. But the last thing you want to do, especially when you come over as an MMA guy to boxing, we've talked about it in nausea. But to take these guys lightly because they haven't trained as long. in martial arts or they're not as committed to the sport as some of these high-level veterans

were or are is a mistake again i'm not saying tony's doing this but salt poppy has the power the speed the timing to cause tony some real problem and yeah tony can can be dangerous for sure you know uh whatever he's got left i don't know we'll see but out of the two of them in a boxing ring i am leaning toward not even leaning i am fully thinking that salt is more dangerous i've seen a lot of his fights like you know, yeah, it's a big step up for me. It's a big challenge for me. But yeah, this will prove that I'm ready for the big challenge like Tony. Have you seen the online reaction to this as well?

I mean, it's been going all over Twitter. This is really... You say he's going to knock me out. Yes, I just like... I just can't believe what the fans are saying because look at Yusik, 38. Find the Pacquio 46. Tony is only 41.

It's going to be strong as hell. And I'm going to have to like, you know, I'm going to be struggling, yeah, for sure. Yeah, that comparison don't work. Manny Pachyau at 46, that was an anomaly. That was insane to see, by the way. A lot about how good Manny was as a boxer, 8 division world champion, not an MMA fighter that's 41 that's already declining in his own sport and declined in his own sport to then come over and start boxing.

You're talking about Manny Pachiao, who even at the end of his career, was still fighting, you know, losing some fights, but fighting at, around a top level and then came back and fought Mario Barros is probably one of the worst champions in boxing but still I thought won the fight Usick at 38 again been boxing all his life is a world class

probably one of the best boxers we've ever seen so to act like oh yeah I can't believe the fans were saying Tony's gonna get slept when Tony is never boxed and he's 41 and he's on like a seven fight losing streak in MMA that's insane I want salt to address though when Tony's like yeah you said you're gonna knock me out

say it to him Salt loves to talk, like, talk in the ring. He will talk his shit in the ring. But this one, he even said he's going to knock Tony out. I want to see him, you know, yeah, I am going to knock you out. Yeah, yeah, here's why. But he's not addressing that. I want to see him address that.

He said he's going to knock me out. So I've got fuel for the fire to be able to train for the last four years in MMA. Like when Kabeeb and Connor never wanted to fight because those fucking guys are pussies. You step them for in the line. And you're, yeah, yeah. A lot of people, they just don't do it. Like a lot of the fights didn't interest me. This is a new sport.

It's a new avenue for me to be able to go. If I want to go play pro baseball later on, whatever, I'm talking to my agent. This is another avenue for me. Did Tony Ferguson just say he wants to go play pro baseball later on? I love Tony. I do. And I love his childlike aspiration to do all the things he never got to do as a youngster as a child. But you are not playing professional baseball at 42, 3, whenever later on is?

No, in no world and no fantasy is that happen. I love him. And I hope he tries. I really do. Not even like, I'm not trying to see here and laugh at Tony. That's not the thing. I just love the fact that he doesn't ever give up. Honestly, I love it.

It bewilders me. It's nonsensical. It will not happen. Him playing at a professional level, unless it's like a, you know, a farm league team that kind of gives him the Michael Jordan treatment. Like, all right, try it. But I just love that he's like, I still am going to do these things. My age doesn't matter. Like, I love that.

It's just that will not happen. And like I said, I'm not going to bullshit in the morning. I can't. So I can't sandbag anymore, man. Tony said that you said you were going to knock him out. Now he's in front of you. Do you still believe that? Good question.

I mean, I do have a lucky one punch knockout, and that's all I can do really. If it happens, it happens. But yeah. Oh, Salt's playing like, oh, yeah, I just got the lucky one punch. Why is he doing that? We all know that you're better

than a lucky one punch knockout, and if it happens, it happens. Just be about it, you know what I'm saying? Talk your stuff. This isn't like you trying to disrespect, Tony. thing. And I know Salt likes to be respectful and not talk, but he's kind of playing like, oh, I am just the influencer, da-da-da type of thing. I wish you would kind of stand on business with it and be like, yeah, you know, listen, I think he, I think I can touch him on the chain. You know, he's a great, he's a

legend in the UFC and, you know, I appreciate him for that or whatever, but he's coming into my realm and I'm going to show him why this game's different. That wouldn't be him disrespecting, Tony. That would just be stating matter-of-factly what he wants to do. I want to see that because I know he's confident in what he's going to do. I just don't know why he won't say it. Tony, you thought people like Barbosa, Pettis, Gaitchee, the top of the food chain. Why now saltpathy? Because Nathan's cool, man. Like, he's enough to be able to want to go out there and put his record on the line. And he was like, yeah, Daniel's pretty cool guy. He's like, oh, shit, Nathan.

To anybody else that doesn't understand the complexity of walking through a fucking boxing gym door, how hard it is, it's easier to stay there. It's harder to walk through there, get that first initial walk through that this dude made that walk I'm making the walk for my first time my nervous yeah I was a little nervous this is boxing but if I didn't have that nervous energy doesn't matter if I had him or anybody else in front of it I'm not gonna fucking do it I wasn't even feeling that for m-ma anymore and it was just fucking boring a shit to me it was just like I was just to fucking do it so people can see me compete until we both part of ways in a good not cut both ways if I got my shit and I want my stuff and I go back yeah maybe I got other things to accomplish and I'm gonna go out there

in August 30th and I'm gonna handle everything that I need to go and get that victory. What's his... He's fired up, man. He's fired up. Um, yeah, listen, Tony left the UFC. Maybe, you know, the way they, I don't know, I don't know how it was done, but it was the right decision for the UFC, obviously, to not have Tony in any more fights because he was losing consistently taking tons of damage consistently. Uh, you know, and Tony, it just didn't, whether he wasn't into it or not anymore, he was going to continue losing fights. The competition level in the game had just passed him by. That's really simply all it was. they cut him, whether he left, it doesn't really matter. It was a good decision. So I'm glad he's,

if he's going to compete in combat sports, I'm glad he's doing this versus doing that, if that makes sense. Probably making a shit ton more money over here. I mean, again, the danger when you step into combat sports is there regardless. So the people that are upset about him continuing to fight. This would have happened in the UFC. It would have happened in any other boxing match. It would have happened to kickboxing. So I get it, but at the same time, if he wants to compete, this is probably the best option for him. Transition being like from MMA to boxing, because you might mention multiple times now that it's a completely different sport. So how are you going to transition in this time

against someone that's already had eight fights and still have a chance? I've been wanting to box since I was little. I was never allowed to. I grew up in Michigan. My father's raised in military in the country and I was able to have heavy bags unless I bought if I bought them and speed bags.

I'm hitting the speed bag since I was about 14, 13, 15, something like that. And I would always break my bags and stuff, but my dad tells me he's like, I'm not paying for you to school. You're going to go to college. He's like, in my roof, you're going to go to college. He's like, you're going to play sports in order to get yourself a scholarship.

And I did. Pick my choice and I did that. And all of my stuff kind of like went down and I collected every single side quest. You play video games, you understand side quests, you understand all this kind of shit. I did everything from knockout of the night, submission, fight of the year, ultimate fighter trophy, the UFC belt, like I've gone all of this shit. I don't really care because I'd love that stuff, but I want to collect more. I got a bunch of medals for wrestling.

wrestling i got national championship state championship football ring for wrestling and like like does tony wear his high school football state championship ring around hell yeah dude i actually kind of fuck with that because i don't i mean my my little brother what a state title and i don't i don't even think he knows where his ring is like you can tell he i don't know that tony wanted to be a mixed martial artist i don't know that he like the way he talks about other sports he wants to do maybe he just wanted to play a ton of different sports he wants to be an athlete he talks about football he talks about wrestling, talks about baseball, talks about boxing. This is him, again, being a big kid, getting to live out his dream of doing the other sports he never got to do as a kid. I think

that's a cool storyline. I like collecting shit and I don't like collecting losses. I had to demonstrate to everybody what humility was so that way everybody could understand that nobody's perfect. And if they took it with the grain of salt, maybe they learned something. So when you hear all these accolades, I don't know what that meant from Tony. He said he had to demonstrate humility so everybody can understand how to take a loss. Is he like, is he acting like, oh, had to lose so I could show people how to lose. I don't think he wanted to lose those fights. I don't know. I don't know.

Sometimes Tony be saying stuff. I'm like, maybe it's going over my head. I don't know. And you see what it's achieved. How do you maintain the confidence and the calmness that you have right now? I'm cook. Like he said, yeah. And yeah, I do have a chance because I do have one-punch knackle power.

And yeah, we'll just see what happened in August 30th. And I'll be ready for the best Tony Ferguson. Is that how you win the fight? through a knockout punch I can I can try a win like you know by points but I always want to go for the knockout because of the knockout bonus right there's a knockout bonus yes you know I was broke in the ultimate fighter I was a broke in the ultimate fighter I went there like my wife was helping me pay my rent and my shit and I go in there Ramsey Nyjim said this he's like 5k baby because he went in there and you finished somebody and I was

this more I think it's 25 I was like wait wait yeah it's like oh shit It would go. We're making rent. There's a fighter of the night as well. Fight over night, yeah. Two chances. 50K. It's a big deal. Maybe we can make them double it.

Went to cross over box. It tells you that they think. Yeah, I mean, listen, that's a cooler answer from Salt Poppy. Like, yeah, I maybe could win, even though he's still trying to play coy, like, ah, you know, I just got the one knockout punts. That's really all I got. Bullshit. But saying like, yeah, listen, I want to finish the fight.

I want to get that knockout bonus. And then Tony being like, let's double it. Mams, open your pocketbook. sign open up the wallet cut the check they can knock you out what's your reaction to that nothing i've played i've been wrestling for a long time and freestyle wrestling where you had to stand next to your opponent right so i've had people mean mug me try to be my best friend hate me fucking not say shit

doing all this stuff and i've got thousands of wrestling matches with shoes on different so he has a good point like when salt says he wants to knock tony out tony's like i've heard it all like it doesn't bother me. I've had people try to be nice, be mean, not say anything, mean mug me. But then he adds the with the shoes on part. I know he's fighting in shoes and it is different than fighting not with shoes on, but I don't know what the, if he thinks the ultimate difference between MMA and boxing is I get to wear shoes. I mean, that's not it. But he keeps focusing on the shoes. Maybe he just has some sick boxing shoes he wants to wear. He's like, yo, I'm showing up in Jordans. Amandisorado style. What's up,

dude? Finally, I've been trying to wear Jordan in all my fights. No, this is your biggest moment. this stage when it comes to the misfits boxing yeah how are you going to deal with that pressure the anxiety the nerves i can't draw a line on this shit and everything like that any person who's got the fucking balls to walk through the door and to stay there is a fucking fighter bro like i'm not even playing anymore i don't give a shit and that's the hardest part is getting off your fucking couch getting off your ass and getting into a fucking gym i went to the boxing gym over here it was 12 3 or some fucking gym the guy didn't know who the fuck i was for one i didn't give a shit i'm just there was asking if i could hit the boxing he's like any

He rusted out his laptop and see if he could make a schedule. Like calling this guy. I'm like, I just fucking walked over the bag and kind of hit it. And I was like, no, this isn't where I want to be. You kind of understand where, like, well, people, they kind of think like that, that's not who I want to be with it. They can fuck off. And I can understand that you've probably been the same way.

Because everybody's underwriting me. They're saying he's going to knock me out and everything. I'm, so the question was asked to Salt Poppy. He didn't even answer. Tony starts talking about how he walked into a gym in the UK and the guy didn't know him. So he was trying to figure out of it. can let him in. Tony touched their bag and got a bad vibe and it's like I don't want to be here. They can fuck off. I have no idea what the fuck's going on. What the hell is happening here?

Can I understand you've probably been the same way because everybody's underwriting me. They're saying he's going to knock me out and everything 90% but everybody's saying Tony you're fighting a fucking influence. So there goes the other 20% but all fucking negative. Like come on. Yeah. It's how Bobby said. Yeah. Like I don't know what the fuck just say to that. The overall message from Tony is like, yeah, I'm pissed that people think this influencer is going to knock me out. And then something about the fact that, you know, 90% think that I can't even fight anyway. But the other 20, even though it should be 10, think that the influencer is going to knock me out because he's better than me in boxing too.

So he's frustrated. I get it. But he's not articulating it very well. It's all poppy's confused. We all are. Well, I can just do my best, man. I'm going to do my best. That's it. Get me heated.

I'm supposed to be mad at him and I'm not like this fucking When it goes into an athlete we're gonna both prepare and we're gonna do our shit and we're gonna go out there and you guys are gonna have a fucking amazing show So you guys need to fucking buy that shit don't stream like fucking whenever I fight I know you guys are buying the shit I just fucking know because you guys have that much respect for me I'm that OG when it comes into this original genius kind of shit So by the pay-per-view yeah paper views man like seriously like a lot of people Fuck them whatever they got to think and shit like that you've got a couple fighters that are on this car they're going to go out there and they're going to give it the shit.

Not because I'm just fighting, but this is a fucking dope-ass card, man. Facts, dude. And Tony is right. Like, he has a lot of OG fans. Original genius is not one I've heard for OG. Original gangster, you know what I'm saying? But he's kind of both. He's a gangster.

Always has been in MMA. And he does have a loyal fan base. And I do think that that fan base will come over and watch Tony because they've watched him in the UFC. They watched him, you know, ascend to the highest of highs. and then obviously they watch the losing streak there at the end. So they've always stood by aside. I think that the misfits did a great job getting him on this card. If he wanted to fight, which it seems like he does.

I personally don't think Tony should be fighting anymore. But if he's going to fight, he's going to do it somewhere. He's probably going to make the most money doing it here at Misfits. So fair play. And I do. I think he commands a great audience. I can agree more. So I've just got a couple more questions before we wrap things up.

I'm going to start off with you, Tony. We're only a matter a few weeks away now. What's your prediction for this fight? When that bell rings, how does the fight go for you? You're going to have to tune in I don't like to talk too much about other shit like that You guys are going to have to tune in

When it goes into it You guys are going to be in for a good fight It's going to be Amazing Camp Camp's been cool already It's awesome Look at my new hairline too Thank you Bosley

Honestly how do you not love him Look at my new hairline thanks Did he say thanks Bosley? That's awesome He put a little hair dye in there too You can tell he went a little Just Forbiz a touch of gray, right? Silver Fox, Tony. I like it.

Same question. How does this fight go for you? I can just do whatever it takes the win and hope I get lucky. Don't bite me. Yeah. Don't bite my ear. Just kidding. That's all right Tyson on him. I'm going to hit him and he's going to try to hit me. That's how it's going to go from mine. Well, this is going to be one of the final times you guys. I hate that Salt Poppy keeps saying like, oh, I'm just going to try to get lucky. Bro, just be about it, dude. We all know you.

you're confident. Set yourself up. Call your shot. If he was just being humble, like, that's not even being him being humble, right? That's just him being like, oh, you know, I'm just the influencer. It's like playing a character. I get it. But I want him to like, you know, stand on that shit. We've seen it. You can't hide it from us anymore, you know? Face off before we get into fight week. So can I get some final words from you both? So first, sir. May the best memory, sir. This is about it. Do you have any final words for Salt Pappy? You can see the 30th. I'll see you on the 30th.

handshake thank you sir good shake it's been an absolute pleasure thank you so much for joining us no lot of people want to do hands like you know i don't know why marx put your hand up you got your hand up yeah my hands are bigger than brocks he got big hands he got big hands my hands are bigger than brocks don't he's so awesome dude he's all put your hand up here let me see got big hands well i appreciate both your time thank you so much being an absolute honor doing this face off and make sure you're getting your tickets and go and and watching it live on the zone August 30th, Manchester A-O Arena. That's cool.

That was awesome. Tony is a pleasure to listen to, even if it is a bit confusing. If he is all over the place, he's still Tony Ferguson. And the reason you love him as a fighter is because of that. His personality is erratic. Sometimes doesn't make any sense. But you know he's passionate about what he's doing, right? He's not doing something he doesn't care about.

He's always been that way with the UFC. He's doing that now with the crossover boxing. space. I want to see him stay safe. I know that's not maybe even possible because he's fighting and it is combat sports, but obviously, in my opinion, I'm still sticking with Salt Poppy winning this fight. I say obviously, and it's only, it's not a disrespect to Tony. It's just because of the situation in where we're at, right? Tony's career, his age, the mileage, the wear and tear, the lack of experience specifically just boxing. I mean, he alluded to it. Salt Poppy's got eight fights. He's got none. Jake made a career off this when he first started boxing. He's,

is bringing guys in that had never boxed that were high-level MMA fighters and exploiting the difference between high-level MMA and you know entry-level boxing there are completely different sports you guys just watched me get rag-dalled by Dylan Danis after having a decent enough showing in my first ever little boxing match it's it's not even close and this is why you don't see boxers go to MMA because they're not the same sport and they would get ragdolled and destroyed so I expect the same formula I mean if it ain't broke don't fix it time and time again we've seen it I expect Salt Pappy to win this, but I could be wrong. And Fight Week is almost here now. We're a couple of weeks away.

I'm going to be traveling all over the country, so it's the last time you guys will see me in the setup room for a while. But the next time you see me on a broadcast will be in Florida. I'm going to be doing some stuff with MVP. Their prospects card coming up on the 22nd. Then I will be in Manchester at the AO Arena for Misfits 22. Fun fights, fun week, fun month ahead.
