2:40

2:53
you know it's just it's it's fun to get to you know interact with with people that we don't normally get to so so make
3:00
sure to tune in to the next one and don't ask us to show our feet don't be [ __ ] weird dude don't be weird that's
3:06
not what it's there for we're we're there to ask fighter questions not only fans questions yeah we yes we are
3:15
athletes on that platform okay so a lot has happened since we last met um there
3:23
was UFC 296 there was um other stuff
3:30
there what else Happ an apex card oh yes um I I think I mean I think I want to
3:36
stay with 296 because there's a lot to cover so much so much to cover uh before
3:42
during and after that card that there was just a ton to cover but I think we have to talk about um khil round tre's
3:49
huge knockout over Anthony Smith yes so Anthony Smith stepped up as a short
3:54
notice replacement um for Kalo round tree and wow it it was it was a really really
4:03
intense fight we got a huge knockout man huge knockout it was kind of I don't
4:09
know I I was hoping to be surprised because when I found out that he was
4:14
filling in the first thing everything everyone who knew Anthony Smith thought
4:20
why why would you do that you're you're chilling said he wants to feel alive oh
4:25
my God terrible and I totally get that I totally get that but this is a man whose
4:31
strengths uh complement your weaknesses for his benefit perfectly so I was
4:38
really nervous for that fight just because I really love Anthony as a fighter um I've seen what gets him in
4:45
trouble and khil is so good at that stuff he's so good at leg kicks he's so good at uh throwing power shots and
4:51
setting them up so he doesn't doesn't just go in like a crazy person um so it
4:56
seemed like a a recipe for disaster and it was it was a gutsy performance by
5:02
Anthony Smith but khil did what a lot of people expected him to do and it was really impressive really impressive it
5:09
was um khil is a former training well not training partner but you know
5:14
teammate and roommate I'm like he kicked you no God no he would he would break me
5:20
little little Adam White Jess getting kicked by khil round Tre no no no that femur would have been severed in half
5:27
God he can't even drill with you without breaking something no exactly have you
5:32
ever drilled with someone and veroom veroom veroom FAO they're Doom holy [ __ ]
5:41
that leg you did you wash it after that that's amazing I had to hold pads for
5:46
this man oh so it was um you know I'm from Orange County I I trained you know
5:52
a big chunk of my career up in Orange County with hael Cordo at Kings MMA and
5:57
Mark monos at uh r training center and we would do a lot of cross training we would also go to like Calvary Chapel and
6:05
uh black house we were just we had like a really awesome like stable of people
6:10
to to cross train with and sometimes I mean this is you know kind of back in the day where I mean little old Adam
6:17
weight was always the only little old Adam weight on on the mats with the big boys I'm just as tough as you I am not
6:25
that's your that's your Adam weight voice you gave 15 lbs and it changed got
6:31
a little base in there got a little base in here and base back there hey gained
6:36
some weight in your vocal cord exactly so one day um we showed up to um
6:43
Affliction this is like back in the day when Affliction was you know um had
6:48
their big warehouse and they had a huge uh training room and we would do some cross training up there because we had
6:54
um you know guys from Kings and rain that were doing you know training so we
6:59
would go up there and we'd use the the ring and and the mat space was it uh was the ring bedazzled as
7:07
well just everything else was everything else was oh shower curtains
7:14
yeah met the sign you walk in the door everything
7:19
everything um and so I I showed up to train one day and there was
7:25
nothing but heavy weights oh no like nothing but them um or like I think the
7:31
smallest person famous ones too like like legit scary scary human beings like
7:38
vanderlay and and Shogun and like all these all these people that like you're just like ouch oh no they were very very
7:46
nice but yeah I had to I had to hold pads for verdom while he was warming up we were doing there weren't enough
7:52
people to have an actual training session so we did a lot of like pads and met work and we would do stations like a
7:57
circuit station and I had had to brace myself up against the wall and at a hold for this man and he
8:04
was being he was being nice he wasn't you know loading up or anything like that but it was terrifying it was
8:10
terrifying the amount that I had to like brace and breathe was exhausting yeah
8:16
just for a light kick just for him to get the form right just for him to get warmed
8:22
up oh basically Shadow Boxing with a
8:27
Target terrified but they're like they're so encouraging and like inclusive that they're like yeah just
8:33
and then and then HAF cord is like one of those guys where he walks by and you just want to impress him you just want
8:39
to like do your best around this man he just he brings it out of people so I'm
8:45
like I got it I got it no problem and he's like thanks I got a thumbs up from H C
8:52
yay meanwhile both of your forearms are fractured meanwhile I'm going to take a trip to the real quick yeah it ter it
8:59
was terrifying but you do it with a smile on your face hey that's awesome yeah I um I feel like every time I have
9:06
someone place a leg kick on me that is I don't know like an ex fighter they
9:13
always place it as if they still weigh the same as when they
9:18
fought and it's so heavy like uh AJ uh Jen's coach AJ Matthews he fought in
9:25
balader and a bunch of other uh promotions but he doesn't fight anymore
9:31
and he'll show you like oh yeah you got to throw the a leg kick like this and he'll just like place it on the leg
9:37
meanwhile it goes through my femur I can feel the dink on my bone on my thigh
9:43
bone and it hurts like a [ __ ] I know he's just placing it and being nice
9:49
but I'm just thinking the poor [ __ ] that gets a full powered one of those like oh my God it's it's
9:56
terrifying yeah no thank you it really is so so whenever I think of khil Round Tree I think of those people who have
10:03
placed kicks and then they hurt like hell and I'm like man I would hate to know that someone I love is fighting him
10:11
because he is the nicest person ever but a bastard in the cage like such a
10:16
bastard yeah it's pretty I I was really happy for him though with that one I was too he's he's um you know I mean
10:23
everybody has their their ups and downs in this in this sport but um he's just he's a good good human like he he really
10:30
really is so I just want good things for him and I was really really happy about his performance and you know I want to
10:36
see him have all the success in the world he just he deserves it he's a great human yay
10:41
goo way to end out the
10:47
year but uh we need to get to 296 man okay so UFC 296 had a lot of craziness
10:55
can we start with the prelims because I feel like we're going to miss them if we get to the juice yes like if we get to
11:00
the big juice but I just want to say that the girls were showing out oh my
11:07
goodness the girls on the prelims I'm not surpised holy cow I mean we always
11:13
we always bring the fire and feistiness I mean hints our last conversation last
11:20
time that we recorded but this was a pure example of that I mean talk about
11:26
setting the stage and then people proving what you said to be right women are ferocious and uh not just uh aren
11:35
Alana's fight but the fight before that with Aran lipsky dude she came after
11:41
King Casey um she's like a a fighter that I've been watching for a while I I
11:46
really like her I like how she fights I like how she finishes people um and I
11:52
think lipsky was kind of under the radar people haven't really been paying attention to her because of uh how
11:58
however many tough fights that she's had but she's putting together a really sick
12:04
version of herself right now like she is going in she's hurting people on the feet and then finishing on finishing
12:11
them on the ground like finding the quickest way to success and I was so impressed with that fight yeah she she
12:17
made Casey just really she shut down Casey's offense and and Casey is one of
12:23
those those Grinders she wants to Grapple wrestle and she was lipsky was having none of it and and it made a
12:30
really really tough night uh for casy yeah yeah good for her good for her and
12:36
then okay the one the one we [ __ ] got to talk about is IR Adonna versus uh
12:44
Myas aon's girlfriend um Rosa Carol Rosa I think it's HOSA but HOSA my badosa like hey
12:53
girl Hayes Wilson Hayes yes yeah Carol HOSA um dude dud so it's um it it's been
13:02
a challenge to watch fights and like enjoy them because you know I'm sad oh because I
13:10
you know I've been injured yeah and this one got me so hyped yeah this one was like oh man I cannot wait to go back to
13:17
training I'm so excited to learn stuff and Implement stuff like this one got me so hyped AR Alon she now listen
13:25
she just a little C she takes a lot of damage but and and she sticks to the game plan
13:33
and she just she knows what she wants to do and I don't care does not does not
13:39
protect her legs at all I speak from experience anytime I see somebody get calf kicked I'm just like I know what
13:45
that feels like yeah um but she she stuck to the game plan she believed in
13:50
her hands she believed in what she was doing and it was just so impressive like her her boxing once she started opening
13:58
up and finding her range it was just so precise so sharp and I mean at in the
14:03
first round it really looked like HOSA was you know hosen her HOSA in
14:10
her get it yeah I was I was I was so impressed I was showering and I hear
14:17
Adam yelling because we're watching prelims before we go to where we're going to watch the main card and as I'm
14:24
getting out the shower Adam's like Arena Alon is getting her ass kicked I'm like no I ran naked no I put I put a a thing on
14:33
and I ran out and I'm just like holy crap sh her leg was already red her inside thigh and uh she was getting
14:41
tagged a bit on the in the face too and just didn't seem to be figuring out what
14:46
to do next like she was really getting taken um taken off of her balance every
14:52
time she got inside leg kicked and like they were saying in the commentary it's hard to finish a fight that way it's
14:58
hard to inside leg kick KO somebody but it's definitely going to take away their Mobility ex and allow you to go up top
15:04
of stuff allow her to not be as evasive so you saw that playing out in the first
15:10
round but then I think towards the end of the first you could see the damage
15:16
start to accumulate on host's face it wasn't that much but it was enough to
15:22
show Alana I think that the game plan will work you just got to stay in her face yeah and she did and she did she
15:30
was all up in that face man the the post fight photo of the both of them it was
15:36
so cute they're in the hospital they're adorable looking like two Halloween masks I [ __ ] love that no I love that
15:43
because when I get in a fight like that I'm like yo this is this is living this
15:49
is what life feels like like we're we're really um lucky to be able to do what we
15:55
do and show how how gutsy we are without the fear of dying like I think people
16:02
don't really get to experience that unless they're in an actual War where there's a good chance they might die so
16:08
we get to experience that and the safety of an arena we get paid for it um it's
16:14
it's a pretty cool thing to be in if you're built for that and those two holy
16:19
[ __ ] they are built for that they they are warriors it was beautiful violence
16:25
at its finest um it just it made me it just made me excited to be a fighter
16:31
it really did you know that's the kind of that's the kind of dance partner that that you want someone's just willing to
16:37
just engage like bite down on your math piece come forward and you know take
16:43
some give some back it's just it's one of those like beautiful beautiful fights
16:48
that um I'll definitely be I was taking notes I was taking notes of all the
16:54
things that I want to work on when when I get to finally like get back on the mat what was one one of them uh body
17:00
shots oh yeah and CF kicks oh the body shot the body shot was nice she had some
17:07
beautiful body shots yeah that jab too that jab is just
17:13
super fast but also I was really impressed with the way that HOSA was able to um just kind of get her thinking
17:20
about the hands and then choping the leg right away no matter where she was no
17:25
matter what combo what hand she finished with she would chop that leg wherever she saw it and it was usually the inside
17:31
but a lot of times she would go left right left and then chop with her left leg she'd go right left right and then
17:38
chop with the inside with her left so was it was making aldana not really be
17:44
able to brace for it she didn't know when it was coming and it was so disciplined and so uh thrown so
17:51
frequently that it was really impress impressive to watch so I made a mental note of that too just go for the leg
17:57
kick spam it spam it and throw it like a baseball bat every time swing it commit to it and it's going to do damage it's
18:04
going to pay off in the end yeah there was um there was also another fight on the on the card and that was Cody no
18:10
love and Brian is it um Brian kellerer Brian kellerer and Brian kellerer was
18:19
was doing the same kind of gay plan against Cody garrand with with chopping at the the calf chopping at the inside
18:25
leg and he was doing a good job and that's a great game plan for somebody that has such sound boxing like Cody and
18:31
who you know has great footwork and you know really uses his his movement to set up all of his shots his offense and his
18:38
defense so I thought that was super impressive um Cody got a a beautiful
18:43
stoppage in that fight um but it was it's it's one of those tools that I've
18:50
I've been on the receiving end of in fights and it's it just takes one
18:56
honestly and commentaries always doing this and people always want to criticize like oh why don't you just switch stes
19:02
why don't you do this because that's that's the power stamps that's where people are good at and it's it's hard to
19:10
to switch that up if it's not trained and even if you do train it and train it and train it it's still not your natural
19:16
stance it's not where you're the most powerful and effective and efficient yeah that's what I was going to say you
19:21
have to train it you have to train it especially if it's something that you've
19:27
felt in a fight because everyone's going to watch that tape and they're going to be like okay I'm going to do that to him I'm going to throw the leg CI and they
19:32
were saying it in the commentary too they're like okay Alana is going to get past this this girl but everyone's going
19:39
to know to throw the inside leg kick against her and hey you know what that
19:44
could lead to a good bait for that Anderson Silva inside leg kick check
19:50
because if nobody's expecting her to check it they're going to throw that with some Gusto and if you're not used
19:56
to throwing leg kicks and getting checked then your your leg might snap yeah it it really is something that
20:03
takes years of what do you call that thing where the micro fractions in your bone calcifies it and makes it stronger
20:11
is this like a name for a medical term for it or something I just know it's
20:16
like calcification or something yeah yeah but it's like if you if you look at an x-ray of a Fighter's fist then these
20:24
two Knuckles are going to be a lot bigger than when if you punch if you punch right your yours are big yours are
20:30
big your first two are big yeah it's going to look a lot different from someone who doesn't fight all the
20:36
basically all the knuckles are going to be about the same size and the X x-ray RS are like two big ones two small onnum
20:43
yeah but in a good way yeah they're like you know same with like wrestlers with the
20:51
promagnet uh forhead that they got from from you know grinding so much with their forehead boom boom but those guys
20:57
are hard to knock out I remember kicking my wrestling coach in the head Square in the head on accident
21:02
on accident I was like why' you do that he was shooting and I was throwing a body kick and his head went right into
21:08
my shin and guess who was hurt me it hurt so
21:14
bad I thought he cracked my shin bone and half the way it land and he's like
21:20
you okay thing to do thanks Chad he didn't
21:27
do it on it was just I was throwing a body kick we were Drilling and he
21:32
thought oh let me shoot on her and see how she reacts and shined the forehead bounced off of his mine hurt like a
21:39
[ __ ] good reaction though yeah it's a good reaction yeah it is a good reaction if if they're not huge in a
21:47
wrestler um but yeah that that calcification helps a lot when you're
21:52
throwing leg kicks and they get checked a lot of people can kick through that because they've just been kicking a bag
21:57
all that life kicking pads kicking trees in some cases um but if you don't have
22:03
that experience of kicking stuff all the time you can get a little shim break not that I mean Anderson Silva has done all
22:09
that stuff all his life and it even happened to him but I think it's a little more likely to happen if you're
22:15
not used to that that bump for sure yeah um so so that's something that could
22:21
happen if if she plays her cards right if she learns to turn that knee in but she did say that she had a knee injury
22:28
going into that and it might have made it the better of the two decisions like sometimes that pressure on the front of
22:35
the knee when you do check the kick can be a little too much on the ligaments if
22:41
you have an injured knee and it was better to just take it in the thigh and keep pressing forward there was a
22:47
highlight that I literally just saw today and I think it was Michael Venom page because they announced that he's
22:53
with the UFC now yeah but they I like L thought and he's fighting
23:01
Kevin Holland right yeah which that's a fun fight that is a really uh but I
23:07
might have to go to that live that is awesome fight fun that is a really really fun fight to watch but it was one
23:13
of uh Michael Venom Page's highlights and he kicked somebody and it like dislocated the patella like you saw it
23:20
like dent in and oh my God he I I swear me and
23:26
Adam we always say that he must have gone to the crossroads somewhere and sold his soul to the devil because he
23:34
destroys people and he doesn't look like anything he's this little skinny guy
23:39
little skinny little twig of a guy looks kind of like a pre mantis just his legs just his legs rest of is kind of built
23:46
no he's so skinny though he's so skinny and he's bony but that shouldn't mean
23:53
that he caves people's heads and he cyborg kicks their knees off like this
24:00
guy does the craziest stuff in the cage and that's why I'm so excited for him getting to the UFC see what he can do in
24:06
there but I'm rooting for my boy Kevin Holland I have a feeling he'll pull it
24:12
off no he's yeah I I'm really excited about that fight um I was pleasantly
24:18
surprised when I saw it today on the announcement yeah that's really cool really cool um but yeah I was really
24:24
happy for Cody garrand too even though I really like Brian kellerer at this point it's like one of your friends are going
24:31
to lose somebody you like is going to lose it it starts no matter who they're fighting May the best man or woman win
24:37
you know exactly it's hard yeah but I did uh I ran into Cody when I was out in
24:43
Vegas for the noie worlds and I saw him at the pi and he said that he had um
24:50
just changed things up with Camp a little bit instead of just being where he usually is he moved everyone out to
24:57
Vegas that he was working with and it was a very uh tailored to him kind of
25:02
camp and I think that's so important for Fighters especially once you get to a point where you can afford that because
25:10
you're most likely fighting really tough competition like super tough competition and you can't afford to be learning what
25:19
someone else has to learn if you either already know it or it's not really important for your matchup like if you
25:25
have to learn you hopefully you don't have to learn something for a fight but if there's something that you need to
25:30
work on it's much better to just have everything tailor towards you so I think that showed in this fight because
25:37
garbrandt looked like a new fighter he looked reinvigorated you know like
25:43
revived in the old version of himself and it was really cool to see because he's always been one of those people who
25:50
they put a lot of attention into and then once he lost a few times people
25:57
just wrote them off yeah and it it makes me really sad like I always get like kind of jealous of the people who get
26:03
attention but then once things start stop going their way it's a real Stark
26:10
difference and I feel for those athletes who were at the top of the mountain then suddenly nobody is talking about them
26:17
anymore and it's a fast drop it is like uh Fighters have a very limited time
26:25
and when they're on the that trajectory if it's interrupted like it's really hard to get back on
26:32
track oh God you okay okay it's just
26:38
noisy thought the whole just yell if you need help I thought a whole bunch of pots and
26:44
pans just f it sounded like Adam's making
26:50
cookies um but once that trajectory is is interrupted it's really hard to get back up on track yeah it it really is I
26:57
mean I mean one fight can completely change your trajectory and you you may not ever get on that that same path
27:05
again it's it's very challenging so um for for him for anyone who is able to
27:12
constantly reinvent themselves um to invest in themselves yeah um it's it's
27:18
absolutely amazing because it's not common yeah it really isn't and MMA is
27:23
so unforgiving a lot of times uh you're not healthy enough to do that or you're
27:29
not given enough opportunities you get cut before you're able to do it so it's really awesome when people are lucky
27:36
enough to have the the chance of everything working out and then they're able to get those wins that they need
27:43
it's good job Cody it's so nice oh he's a sweetie too
27:50
yeah um so we had a lot of really awesome fights on the main card and a
27:56
lot of nons sweeties to talk about we have some weird stuff to talk about too
28:01
I like don't know what I'm more excited to talk about the the fights or the Antics H let's talk about the Antics
28:08
okay well if you're if you're GNA talk about you know trajectory and and all that kind of stuff um we can bring up
28:13
Ian Gary oh uh interesting yeah let's talk about that because he's you know
28:21
been on like the the the fast track to
28:26
to success in the division M um he's been one of those characters that's very entertaining very outspoken MH and he's
28:36
you know paved this nice little path for him and he didn't end up making it to to
28:41
the press conference he didn't end up making it to the fight and that um there's a lot of stuff wrapped up into
28:47
his personal life and if you've been paying attention to any of the stuff that's going on with the amazing MMA
28:54
trolls um they they're going in at him in like a ruthless Relentless way like
29:00
there there's a lot going on a lot of stuff being put on his personal life and I'm I'm just kind of wondering how to be
29:08
a wag stop it that what you're wondering
29:14
ladies and gentlemen if you want to become a wag it's not going to be with a fighter I'm sorry oh my God it's not
29:21
it's not going to be with a fighter wrong wrong Ro wrong profession go for a
29:27
b basball player football soccer is the big one why why wouldn't you go for that
29:36
don't just women's soccer women's soccer is is way more lucrative
29:43
WNBA you go for a UFC fighter no don't
29:48
do it don't be fooled don't be fooled by all the the Gucci and the Versace at weighin and uh the press conferences
29:55
those they rented it that was Rena
30:00
swag uh all of all of those cars that you see on embedded during fight week those are
30:07
sponsored sponsored they got it for free they didn't even put gas in it that's
30:13
how broke they are no just oh my goodness oh girl what are you thinking
30:19
so that's that's the first way to debunk that whole theory is the fact that if you're trying to be a wag you wouldn't
30:26
go for a fighter no yeah never yeah unless they're on the fast
30:32
track maybe that's chapter two I don't know I think I need to get a hold of the
30:37
b i I know I'm just curious I'm curious in a really weird way I hear it's a quick read yeah I hear it's like this
30:44
bab yeah it's a pamphlet exactly I hear it's a pamphlet too oh man um yeah
30:50
that's just a weird one but they're the the MMA trolls man are they are undefeated this on it they are
30:59
crucifying him and I wonder how he's going to recover from this because he was too sensitive to go to the press
31:04
conference so I just I'm just wondering he was
31:11
sick you are so shady he was sick he had a fever and then it turned
31:18
into pneumonia which is the worst one remember little Timmy had pneumonia in the Christmas story he was going to die
31:26
that's what he Gary head he probably had a little water bottle on his head you know the little like who gets pneumonia
31:34
I had itis but I I I mean like was he
31:39
like chilling in his room with my great grandmother had pneumonia in
31:45
9s how did that happen oh my God he he came to fight week and got
31:51
Gout some old world disease he's got a case of leprosy for
31:57
pneumonia what are you doing oh man poor guy sleeping in a barn
32:04
I maybe maybe that's the only place he get away from the trolls only place he felt safe for him and his family there's
32:10
no place sa the barn um I uh the the thing that made me feel like he was
32:16
being a little overly sensitive was the comment that he made about fearing for
32:22
his family's life or for not life safety safety and I understand if he meant like
32:29
mental safety um but he said my wife and kid and it's like you have a baby like
32:36
that baby don't know nothing don't know nothing that's like me fearing for my dog's mental health like he probably has
32:42
more issues than that baby does buter some [ __ ] yeah but buter definitely has
32:49
chust issues um but that was a weird one it was it was weird because um you know
32:56
as Fighters we get a lot of random threats a lot of hate thrown at us and
33:02
you learn how to thicken your skin I feel like as long as nothing's happened
33:07
uh in in the physical world then Sticks and Stones yeah the internet world
33:13
doesn't really matter and it's it's kind of like I imagine the internet being like the the things you hear men say to
33:21
women at a strip club they would never say that outside of the strip club exactly
33:27
never never they they get a lawsuit thrown at them they that stuff stays on Twitter they'd be in jail but yeah
33:35
exactly when you're on the internet you can say [ __ ] to a fighter and Fighters kind of any any Entertainer accepts that
33:42
as part of the job we're going to get [ __ ] on basically and usually more [ __ ]
33:47
than good and you just have to take that as it is and um I don't know it just
33:54
seems silly to feel like that would manifest physically in in like the real
34:01
world especially during fight week especially when you're going to be surrounded by the UFC detail the
34:07
security um it's it's hard to get into trouble if you're not looking for it or
34:13
if you're yeah if you're not looking for it yeah yeah we're we're kept pretty
34:18
safe like in our little UFC fight week bubble especially the higher profile people there's like a hierarchy of how
34:25
safe didn't I think when I arrive to fight week they're like she's good she's
34:31
fine she can handle herself she's fine she won't be swarmed but the people who
34:36
arrive who will be swarmed they make sure they're they get an extra security detail yeah they're bubbled up yeah
34:43
absolutely that was that was a challenging one um I maybe he had never experienced something like that before
34:49
and so it was very overwhelming um as it you know as it can
34:54
be I I feel like we were um proned very very
35:00
quickly you suck well the women do get a lot more attention than the guys usually
35:07
and uh he's getting uh popular female level attention so definitely he is
35:13
probably a lot of dickpics definitely in his DMS um but the one thing I'll say is that in a lot
35:20
of internet I wouldn't even call him trolls a lot of people are bringing up the fact that he
35:27
not attacked but he he [ __ ] talked to his opponents before he fought them
35:32
everyone that he like would say things too he he was talking [ __ ] to luk before he fought them and then when the tables
35:40
are turned he felt like it was too much yeah that's that's a hard thing especially I mean if if you if that is
35:48
your your brand your persona if that's the route you want to go you've got to be willing and able to just take it and
35:57
keep dishing it back but you you've got to be able it's you know people aren't punching
36:03
bags they're going to hit you back yeah I it to hit you with it hurts and and normally people will mirror you so if
36:08
you're throwing out some nasty stuff you're going to get it back you know what uh who does this really well who
36:14
does the [ __ ] talk game really well Sean
36:19
Strickland because he talks [ __ ] about
36:25
himself see that the thing that he beats him to the punch yes it's like it's like
36:31
freaking uh uh who was that bunny on 8 Mile uh Eminem on Eight Mile oh he like
36:38
he at the end of the movie his friend goes up to him he was like it was going to be like this battle
36:44
off his friend's like well well what are you going to do I mean he's going to talk about this this and that and that
36:50
and it like clicked to Eminem's character he was like he's like yeah so he basically like took all of his
36:58
leverage opportunity everything away from him yes because he talks [ __ ] about himself and he's like I already know
37:04
what you're going to say this and he was hilarious exactly yeah so that's what
37:09
that's what you got to do you got to just Own It own it you gotta on it like you knew this he knew that people are
37:16
going to talk [ __ ] as soon as they found out about that nutritionist come on you knew you you he must have known and if
37:23
you're throwing things out there making fun of people that you're fighting trying to be this big guy saying you
37:29
knocked out Leon Edwards all this other stuff then be ready cuz somebody's GNA
37:35
have the call to say it and it was strick was of course it
37:41
was it was stck but it's like what can you say to him because he's already come out and said all of it about himself
37:47
yeah yeah so he doesn't that that's a good way of being a [ __ ] talker and not
37:52
having to worry about anything coming back to you cuz he did uh dup I think uh
37:57
tried to use Strickland's P against him he was like oh I'm a [ __ ] you like your father or something like that and he's
38:04
like all right cool yeah been there done that I already talked about it
38:10
lame try again that was another fun nonight related thing that happened in the
38:18
audience um Dana White took full responsibility for uh being responsible for that seating assignment did he he
38:26
did the press conference he said what kind of [ __ ] seats seats those two
38:31
next to each other and he's like me I'm I'm the [ __ ] this [ __ ] is that what he said he said it I freaking love
38:38
it cuz he's like I don't know how I did that it like it he completely owned it
38:43
and took responsibility for it he's like that was my mistake okay so it wasn't on purpose okay no that's funny that's
38:52
funny it made magic um that's going to be in the promo
38:57
oh yeah dude I can't wait for that fight now before I was like I don't care about that fight but now I'm like let's go
39:04
let's go oh no I love it as as uh the broadcast team was talking about it I
39:09
was looking for footage on you know Instagram about what had happened and you just see it and you're just like oh
39:16
my god um the the favorite thing that happened was Strickland had had the
39:22
foresight to ask Gilbert Burn's children to kindly step aside before he jumped on their chair and then jumped over it and
39:28
what a good guy what a good guy was it it was Gilbert Burns's kids I think
39:34
that's what they said okay he didn't want Gil BRS and punch him in the back of the head if one of them got hurt like
39:40
don't don't [ __ ] with that guy's kids yeah for sure um yeah I thought that was really cool uh I swear to God every time
39:47
I'm like man Strickland is bad for MMA he goes and proves me that there's a lot
39:56
of people people I don't like more there's Dearing about him at moment
40:02
it is I feel like sometimes where like he could be the one that brings us all together as a country we're so divided
40:10
right now we're so divided he could be the glue that holds us together because
40:16
everyone hates Biden right now I still hate Trump [ __ ] that guy and it's just like he he could be
40:24
the person the Messiah so we stopped too far too far but I
40:30
thought he had some really cool moments this week um another thing he did that I
40:35
thought was really cool is he stood up for Leon Edwards during the press conference um when
40:42
uh Colby already like out of sight out of mine who's that guy again when Colby
40:49
made fun of Leon Edward's dad his dead dad Strickland jumped up and he said hey
40:56
you're trying to act like you're an American no American would make fun of a man for being brought up by a single
41:03
mother and being brought up to being a real man like she turned this boy into a man and to make fun of his grief is
41:13
[ __ ] up is very is very I forget what he said he I think he called him a [ __ ] like it's the ctist thing to do and
41:19
you're not a real American any real American will get behind someone who was able to do that they're not going to make fun of the guy's past and I thought
41:26
that was really cool of Strickland to say he worded it way better than I just did but it was it was really cool and I
41:32
was just like Bravo you better champ that situation that was it was an awesome way
41:38
to stand up for Leon Edwards for sure Kobe Kobe was uh quite out of pocket on
41:44
on a lot of things I mean that that guy can sell a fight listen he he really can he's a mouthpiece but there are just
41:50
certain things that are are off limits that was one of the things that I you know wanted to cover on this episode is
41:57
like you know what's off limits how far is too far and we talked a little bit on our only fans live feed before we
42:04
started recording and it's just uh family is is and should always be off
42:11
limits unless it's your wife's ex who's your nutritionist
42:18
fair fair that's that's technically not family family no it's used to be so your
42:26
family's family they're removed yeah they're removed removed family they don't count anymore it's like a wart
42:33
that's no longer there you can talk about phant limb yeah something something like that yeah oh
42:39
man it's nearly here nor there um so yeah I think that family should definitely be off limits at at all times
42:47
um especially with somebody as um uh
42:53
ped what when someone has passed well well yes but I mean when when
42:59
somebody is a mouthpiece when they're you know a very entertaining and they always have something to say I feel like
43:05
he could have said anything else lots of other things other than what he said it was a low blow it was
43:11
unnecessary um it's just not something you should you should go after that should be off limits at all time you know why he does that because his
43:19
delivery is so bad that it has to be
43:24
shocking cuz any other time you say seventh layer of
43:30
hair you meant hell you're just GNA focus on the hair
43:35
part you're not going to focus on what he said afterwards so he's like oh I got to double down because I know I'm gonna
43:41
[ __ ] this line up so I have to say something so utterly shocking that it's
43:46
still going to make him mad even though I [ __ ] up he just probably practiced it so many times in his head in the
43:53
mirror and then he just it was like um um uh paralysis because of analysis kind
43:59
of thing so he like he was trying to like hit it hit it a home run and it
44:04
just he he fed that's every line that's every sentence that comes out of that motherfucker's face that is fair I'm
44:12
just saying he he has a lot and he's trying to say all of it at all the time and it just gets really jumbled in the
44:18
process but You' think at least one would come out smooth one would come out the way that it was written down by I
44:24
mean on the promos I feel like they do listen I'm not defending him there don't he's still stuttering he goes hey
44:33
um Kobe Co like yeah how did you forget and how was that the best cut you had so
44:40
many Cuts you had so many like edits that you could have done just do a few a few like
44:48
versions and that was the best version that's the one that made the final cut I
44:54
mean that's on the UFC no that's the [ __ ] nerd bash you go back and you watch
45:00
the nerd bash the first one that we spoofed he will stutter through that [ __ ] and you know there's some really
45:07
bad versions of that that could have made it he picked the best one he picked the best line and it's still bad it's
45:15
still bad so of course he's gonna [ __ ] it up live if he can't get it right on the videos that he edits he probably
45:22
just had to go with it because the girls ran out of uh like their their time was up they're
45:27
like hey pay me more I'm out I'm out yeah and he's like
45:33
okay we're we got it we got we got the shot dude so I I feel like he really has
45:39
to go shocking because he knows he's gonna [ __ ] it up and maybe that's why it's it's his thing it's his style it's
45:46
his persona it's you know what has gotten him three title shots but why why are we such trash
45:54
humans that that's what gets attention because when it come listen when it comes down to it like there the UFC is
46:00
not shy about this it's an entertainment sport before it is just a sport before it's like a combat sport it is an
46:07
entertainment Sport and people will show up whether they love him or hate him to
46:13
watch him win or lose dude he he he is polarizing he gets people in the seats
46:20
um he he's an easy cell he really is yeah but that was probably his final
46:28
what do you call it swan song like that reminded me of when uh who's it Joffrey
46:34
died in Game of Thrones the way he was still trying to cut a promo at the end
46:39
and everyone was just booing over it and then Donald Trump is walking out in the
46:45
middle of his promo he's like Donald Trump 20120 and Trump's like slowly walking out I mean
46:53
with his security detail I felt like that was that final moment where the guy
46:59
that you were supposed to hate and it worked really well and you were just
47:04
like I hate this guy he finally got
47:10
offed I don't know and that's what it felt like that's what last night felt like to me even though the end of the
47:15
fight ended kind of like in a like you know with the with the submission attempt and then he ended on top it was
47:22
still a shut out performance by Leon Edwards and the crowd reacting the way
47:28
they did Donald Trump looking like fake okay but disappointed doing
47:34
his doing his weird stare because he knew the camera was going to be looking at him while Kobe was talking and then
47:41
zipping out of there right afterwards I thought it was beautiful beautiful it was
47:47
Art thank you Kobe for for providing me that joy in watching you lose because
47:53
that's why that's what it is you know if if you don't get the joy off of this fight if he actually wins you're going
47:58
to get it off of the fight when he finally loses and that's what always happens when someone plays the hill
48:04
they're winning winning winning people hate him more and more and more and then it's just like ah you get that orgasmic
48:11
feeling when they finally lose I'm more focused on the fact that um I I feel like if he had won the belt it would
48:18
have been the end of days because you have Ali Strickland and then Kobe Covington the seventh layer of hair
48:25
would open it would have swallowed us whole that's what I was
48:30
[Music] imagining we got lucky we did we did we
48:36
we live to to watch fights another day yeah well uh I feel like we should talk
48:43
about the actual fights the the two title fights but let's do that in our
48:48
exclusive 15 it's about that time on Fight Pass see you there all right bye
48:58
