1:21
doing
1:22
you know i thought yeah you know it
1:24
could be to be real like you know i had
1:26
like
1:27
my fights my title fight against ushman
1:30
fight against burns
1:31
fight against you know kobe and i know
1:33
you asked me how i'm doing more than
1:34
just fighting
1:35
because you know i do way more than just
1:37
one thing but that's what people want to
1:38
know right now like how am i doing
1:40
um i went out this last fight and um
1:44
randomly my mom was able this it's the
1:46
first time anybody ever heard this she
1:47
was in the corner dog
1:49
my mom because i i i didn't know what
1:52
the future held and i didn't know what
1:53
was going to happen on that night
1:55
and i just felt very uneasy that i knew
1:58
other celebrities are going to be in the
1:59
house and in a specific section and i'm
2:01
like i want my mom to be here i don't
2:03
know if i'm going to make this walk
2:04
for this particular organization again i
2:06
don't know i don't know what the
2:08
what tomorrow promise so i want my mom
2:10
to be there and i actually ufc and they
2:12
were trying to work through it
2:14
we got to the point was like all right
2:16
hold on we got an extra corner me
2:18
so they had mama woodley straight
2:20
licensed as a corner
2:22
all the all the uh kova testing all the
2:25
license [ __ ] she had everything besides
2:27
the fight kid but she got a chance to
2:29
get in the back and she said
2:31
you know i don't know i don't know what
2:32
the what if it's pg or radio
2:34
on the show but but she basically wrote
2:37
it over my face
2:38
she said you know you better go out here
2:40
and [ __ ] this dude up
2:42
i i've been quiet all these times she
2:45
said
2:45
you know but i ain't playing with you no
2:47
more you better go out there and you
2:48
better fight like you never fought
2:49
before
2:50
she said they doing something to your
2:52
mom you gonna let somebody [ __ ]
2:54
uh say something to your mama she said
2:55
this is a real conversation my mom had
2:57
far far
2:58
so then i looked at it and i really put
3:00
it in perspective because
3:02
the gang begging version and the tyrant
3:03
i killed a long time ago i've had 30
3:05
fights in the street
3:06
i really put that to death so when i
3:08
said i don't like fighting whereby i
3:09
said that a while people didn't
3:11
understand why
3:11
i mean you talked about it i fought
3:13
because i had to i fought for food
3:16
i fought for protection i fought because
3:18
it was fun
3:19
and i fought because i that was my only
3:21
way of life at that point in time so
3:23
i muted that part of my life but then i
3:26
had to turn it back on
3:28
just for the fight so then when she said
3:30
that to me he just kind of hit my spirit
3:32
differently
3:33
and i was like you know what i'm finna
3:35
come after this [ __ ] from the
3:36
start
3:37
from the beginning of the fight i said
3:38
i'm gonna let it be known
3:40
and i i my legs are pointed this way i'm
3:43
dumb slew foot on one side so a lot of
3:46
time when i punch
3:47
my right leg is pointed out if you go
3:48
back and look at any youtube videos that
3:50
meet on the right hand
3:52
you're gonna see my legs stuck in the
3:53
back like that right but
3:55
right when they say you ready you ready
3:57
i just turned my foot like this and got
3:59
on my toe
4:00
that's how i'm just gonna go forward and
4:02
that was really the story of the fight
4:04
so
4:04
i can't be mad i can't be hurt i can't
4:07
be
4:08
upset with myself because i was out
4:10
there and i was alive and i was going
4:11
after him and everybody know
4:13
i'm still dangerous i'm still that
4:14
[ __ ] i'm and i'm coming after
4:16
you and i ain't lost [ __ ]
4:18
in other fights you couldn't really tell
4:20
if i wanted it anymore you couldn't tell
4:21
if i was there
4:22
you couldn't tell if this made sense for
4:24
me to keep doing but in this fight
4:26
yeah he snuck a punch on the inside but
4:28
i was going for it you know i mean yeah
4:30
and i thought i know i had him hurt and
4:32
i was trying to get him out of there
4:34
so i'm above ground people are dying
4:37
pandemic is killing the [ __ ] whole
4:40
society you know my brother's dying in
4:43
the street
4:44
and i'm living and i'm fighting and i'm
4:46
i'm not hurt
4:47
my mind's still clear you know what i
4:49
mean like i i'm blessed
4:51
to be real blessed you know it's um
4:54
and that deserves acknowledgement right
4:56
there that even that perspective on it
4:58
because i you know according to the
4:59
report she walked out of there with over
5:01
half a million i don't know if that's
5:02
true or not
5:03
i don't count that as a loss
5:09
i don't see how that's a loss but i did
5:10
a lot though you know me i did a lot of
5:12
this sport
5:13
and people don't recognize that i should
5:15
make more than that but
5:16
yeah unfortunately you know you you have
5:19
so many things that got to work well for
5:21
you
5:21
you got to you got to be able to be
5:23
marketable you got to look a certain
5:24
type of way
5:25
you got to fight a certain type of way
5:26
you got to consistently win
5:28
against the top guys you got to be
5:30
matched up with the equal opposite
5:31
that's going to promote this fight
5:33
and people got to give a [ __ ] about it
5:34
to watch it you never really i never
5:37
i did that really on your skill and
5:39
really on beating the top i never had
5:41
the
5:41
the nick b as the nadia as the gsp fight
5:44
the bisping fight
5:45
you know you know what i mean the conor
5:47
mcgregor the jorge mosley i never had
5:49
the big
5:50
building up fight they generate the
5:51
pay-per-view to even
5:53
show like even when i was fighting kobe
5:55
they cut the whole press conference
5:57
yeah colby when did we ever see that
5:59
happen
6:01
when there's real beef there so well
6:03
look let me ask you this thing man
6:05
first of all i appreciate you being
6:07
honest and honestly man seeing you go
6:09
out in that first round
6:10
like uh and really take it to him and
6:12
move forward
6:13
that's the that's the chosen one i've
6:15
been looking for for the past three or
6:16
four
6:17
fights you know even when i came and saw
6:18
us man we talked about that
6:20
we talked about that fight you know and
6:22
it felt you felt like
6:24
you know you was in a dream sequence and
6:27
every time you told your body to do
6:29
something it didn't necessarily do it
6:30
even coverton i was like damn man
6:32
where's my
6:33
where's my homie at but seeing those
6:35
first few seconds
6:37
man that that i think that spark that
6:39
had the whole game fired up like yo the
6:41
chosen one is back
6:45
me like it's funny because what i got
6:48
clipped with is my number one punch
6:50
so i hit him i rocked him i hit him i
6:54
rocked him again
6:55
i saw him trying to fake like he was all
6:57
together and i saw his eyes gonna look
6:58
lazy and i saw his legs
7:00
a little bit out of order you know i
7:01
mean there's a lot of water attack on
7:03
his legs
7:04
so i said let me get on him so i hear in
7:07
my peripheral eyes i'm like over and
7:09
right over and right right so i'm like
7:11
oh
7:11
[ __ ] they waiting on the overhand right
7:14
so if you look at it
7:15
i didn't just start swinging crazy i go
7:18
jab jab
7:18
now i go to go uppercut at the very
7:21
moment i open up my body to go here
7:24
he comes inside with my punch yeah
7:27
the overhand right had i stuck to what i
7:30
was originally gonna do
7:31
and jab jab and overhand right his
7:34
punch would have came and went through
7:36
here and i
7:37
probably would have landed and knocked
7:39
him out but
7:41
i made a choice and at the end of the
7:42
day i still respect that choice
7:45
because it was me evolving it was me
7:47
showing i was throwing more combinations
7:49
my punching output was higher i was more
7:51
aggressive you know what i mean
7:53
and even when i got clipped and got hit
7:55
right here that knocks your whole
7:56
equilibrium off right
7:58
and even at that point i remember going
8:00
against the cage stopping
8:02
both hands down grabbing the fence and i
8:04
just said
8:05
i just hit him it was so ghetto
8:11
but he's just like [ __ ] i'm not
8:13
gonna let this like you have to kill me
8:15
here
8:15
yeah i mean we about to fight and i
8:17
think it's good for people to see i
8:18
still got dog in me
8:20
yeah um coming to this you know it's
8:23
interesting because
8:24
a lot of folks were wondering uh because
8:26
of your contract that the contract is
8:28
officially
8:29
over with ufc you know it's funny
8:31
because i i never mentioned a contract
8:33
and it's
8:34
the only way the contract could be
8:36
[Music]
8:37
people would know about my contract
8:38
because the ufc would have to leak that
8:40
out
8:41
yeah because it's confidential
8:42
information i'm not going to share it i
8:44
never shared it with any reporter
8:45
so far to come up mean the ufc would
8:47
have had to make mention of it so
8:49
for me i really to be honest what i
8:53
mentally had game plan for right now
8:56
is the same thing win or lose i'm really
8:59
in the same exact position
9:00
and that sounds crazy yeah i left i left
9:03
i left some i left some money in the
9:05
octagon let's be real
9:06
yeah i mean we don't we're not boxers we
9:10
should be playing it flat
9:11
in my opinion you train are you ready i
9:14
don't look at
9:15
the show money and the win money i look
9:17
at the whole picture
9:18
i'm i'm planning on winning this
9:20
[ __ ] i'm i train to
9:22
win it my coach is trained to win it we
9:24
all sacrifice to win it
9:25
but unlike boxing we go we may go out
9:28
for ten dollars
9:29
to get our 420 we got to win so you
9:31
don't get a 40
9:32
fight you get a 30 fight because there's
9:35
only going to be one
9:36
win you even win if it's a draw or no
9:39
contest
9:40
nobody gets a win bonus and you fans get
9:42
to watch it again
9:43
and it's already promoted for you
9:45
because they had anticipation
9:47
so that that's that's what that's what
9:48
the the the the um
9:50
they call it they got a show called the
9:53
something in the agony right because one
9:55
person is gonna be super pumped up
9:57
they're gonna move forward they're gonna
9:58
advance
9:58
one person's gonna be shattered and
10:00
broke down because our
10:02
fights are like a super bowl every fight
10:06
we don't get a hundred baseball games we
10:08
get one to maybe three at most a year
10:11
so you got a weight of a hundred games
10:13
on one
10:14
60 60 basketball games in one match
10:18
you know what i mean yeah or or [ __ ]
10:21
god knows how many football games what's
10:23
15
10:23
20 if you make it yes yeah yeah
10:26
if you make it so all that's in one
10:29
competition for us
10:31
and we still got to do the pr we still
10:33
got to be accessible to the fans more
10:34
than any other sport
10:36
we still got to talk a little [ __ ] and
10:37
we got to show up and we got to be able
10:39
to spread
10:40
for 15 to 25 minutes without breathing
10:42
deep without fainting
10:44
and we want to see you get beat up me
10:47
get beat up
10:48
you get beat up me bleed you get cut
10:51
it look like it's over here for you and
10:53
[ __ ] all of a sudden you came back
10:55
you don't want to see a mayweather fight
10:57
in mma you don't want to see a grappling
10:58
fight
10:59
you don't want to see one person
11:00
dominating you want to see a back and
11:02
forth war
11:03
so now we got to be matched up and put
11:05
put it on a fight these guys
11:07
that are going to give us that kind of
11:09
fight which is not great for our brain
11:11
not great for our longevity of our life
11:13
and then we get paid
11:15
what fifty percent if to show up
11:18
fifty percent if you win and we're both
11:21
on the same deal
11:23
we gotta change it a little bit gotta
11:25
change it man
11:29
in the ufc though it's like even if you
11:30
take a loss you don't lose your
11:32
celebrity like you know you still it's
11:34
the fact that you went into that you
11:35
used to
11:35
depends on who you are i didn't i didn't
11:37
this time because the barber shop in the
11:39
hood was able to stand up
11:40
and say my dog might have lost but then
11:42
[ __ ] came out to fight tonight
11:44
we've been waiting we'd rather see him
11:45
go out like that and
11:47
fighting then just to stand there and
11:49
exist and allow
11:51
i allowed three dudes to beat me they
11:52
should have never beat me
11:54
is this your first step is this your
11:56
first this was your first tap out though
11:57
right your
11:58
first submission will you tap yeah i
11:59
mean to be honest i don't even remember
12:01
the [ __ ] choke me and apply it
12:03
i just remember heard my coach saying
12:05
you know how to get out there and i was
12:06
alright cool
12:07
so i was supposed to grab my own leg
12:10
which gives me just enough space so when
12:11
you lock that choking it's called a
12:13
darshan
12:13
it's one of the choking he's known to do
12:16
and i'm known to do that show too so i'm
12:17
not a defender so what you do is you
12:19
grab your own leg like this
12:21
and it gives you just enough space it's
12:23
still uncomfortable you're still gonna
12:24
be
12:25
getting choked my ass grabbed his leg i
12:27
was [ __ ]
12:29
you know i was on a space cookie i
12:31
grabbed his
12:32
leg and then when he he rolled me to the
12:34
side
12:35
i touched the cage to try to catch my
12:37
balance which means
12:38
for that small second i let his leg go
12:42
the leg i was never supposed to have in
12:43
the first gen class supposed to have my
12:44
own leg
12:45
and when i try to go and grab my leg i'm
12:48
smashed up against the cage
12:49
so i was like oh [ __ ] i'm finna go oh
12:51
[ __ ] and i was thinking this in a fight
12:53
like
12:54
oh i'm like hold on a dog am i gonna go
12:55
out my [ __ ] i'm like oh [ __ ]
12:57
i'm like i can't have this dude have on
12:59
his highlight real me going
13:01
limp noodle so i was like let me try to
13:03
get out and it was like
13:05
you got to make a choice this second
13:07
like one or two more seconds it might
13:08
not
13:09
i might have been just waking up and
13:11
like [ __ ]
13:13
you know you and they actually were you
13:15
ads what's
13:17
what day is it you know who you fighting
13:20
i'm like man if you ask me these [ __ ]
13:22
questions i lost
13:24
i know everything yeah yeah yeah you
13:27
know everything
13:28
man but my heart broke it's a hurt
13:30
business you know
13:32
it's a hurt business that you win i
13:33
think most of the time is it's not
13:35
strength that wins it
13:36
is it technique more than strength
13:37
because i know a couple of punches in
13:38
mind
13:39
i said man like like i won this i won
13:41
this past weekend i didn't win the fight
13:43
but i conquered a big giant you know i
13:45
had chains on my hands and they
13:47
shouldn't have been there nobody should
13:48
have
13:49
nobody in the division should have made
13:51
me want to take a step back
13:52
nobody had enough power nobody had
13:54
enough experience nobody had enough
13:56
[ __ ] skill set
13:57
i'm a two-time all-american wrestler i
13:59
was the first big 12 champion in my
14:02
school's history
14:03
i put mizzou on the map to be real i
14:05
don't credit
14:06
does everybody else but i'm the one that
14:08
really put that school on the map
14:10
you mean over 100 victories i'm a black
14:12
belt jiu jitsu
14:13
and i got the fastest ko in the history
14:17
of championship welterweight fights
14:19
the the biggest takedown the best
14:21
takedown defense in the history of ufc
14:23
nobody talks about that and me and jon
14:25
jones are the only two fighters
14:27
ever to defend a world title four times
14:31
in a year john jones man i mean genre
14:33
all these two there
14:34
and i'm not comparing my legacy to his
14:36
because his you know i think he's the
14:38
greatest but at the end of the day
14:40
you don't mean to defend four world
14:42
titles against
14:43
true number one contenders the best
14:44
brawler the best grappler
14:46
the best karate [ __ ] and then
14:48
the young hungry guy that's supposed to
14:49
be conor
14:51
that's what i had to do so i gotta i
14:53
gotta look back
14:54
somebody told me today bro are you a
14:56
[ __ ] god in our city man
14:58
nobody i these dudes would have never
15:00
watched mma if it wasn't for you
15:02
i you got the biggest gang bankers in
15:03
saint louis watching mma and we [ __ ]
15:05
with you and we always proud we all
15:07
stood up
15:08
but you went out there and you fought
15:10
you know we gotta be like oh man
15:12
you lose a colby you just don't do
15:13
nothing and you can just tell that i was
15:15
letting it happen
15:16
why would i let it happen but why do you
15:18
think that it is though
15:20
yeah but what so you conquered the demon
15:23
but what was it
15:23
that put you that put that demon on you
15:26
folk start will say well is he getting
15:28
older
15:28
it may be his reflexes i was never older
15:30
because i looked
15:31
fast no stronger now yeah i did in the
15:34
last three fights and i'm older now than
15:35
i was in any fight before
15:37
his basic math it took place prior right
15:40
so i think it was to be real and to be
15:43
honest i just feel this karma
15:45
i feel you can't be living a life and
15:47
out here like i'm a [ __ ] superstar
15:49
and
15:49
going to these clubs and doing all this
15:51
[ __ ] that takes away from your life
15:53
i invested so much energy in the
15:55
lifestyle because
15:57
i i feel like i never got to enjoy
15:59
myself all these other fighters can do
16:01
xyz
16:02
and they still winning they still
16:03
getting the most money the most
16:05
unprofessional [ __ ] in our
16:07
sport get paid the most
16:10
the one that's throwing [ __ ] monster
16:11
bottles busting windows out
16:13
dwis failing drug tests not coming to
16:16
press conferences
16:18
flicking off the crowd smoking weed
16:19
right there
16:21
according to the society the worst
16:24
the michael bismays the nate nick diaz
16:27
the conor mcgregor's
16:29
the ronda rouseys the people that aren't
16:31
shaking their hands
16:32
you know i mean they make the
16:36
the rule benders are making the most
16:38
money you got guys that are
16:41
breaking records the mixture is johnson
16:43
making less money than
16:45
freaking the female champions
16:50
wow tyron woodley is here man man
16:53
you always been open though about your
16:55
feelings and your relationship with
16:57
dana white the ufc yeah i just know
17:00
i could have maneuvered it differently i
17:02
could i could if looking back
17:04
financially i think i'm gonna make more
17:06
money outside of ufc than i ever made in
17:08
there
17:09
this is my mind is not a box it's not a
17:11
track and i'm an artist and i do too
17:13
many forms of art
17:15
and there's no way there's no way when
17:17
you do god's gift
17:18
and you after shedding light that
17:21
something won't prosper
17:22
nobody can contain you and blackball you
17:24
from being a star
17:26
when you when you have the light you got
17:28
the light
17:29
talk everybody around it can notice it
17:31
so
17:32
i'm not going to separate the music from
17:34
the tv
17:35
from the acting from the producing from
17:38
the
17:38
behind the scenes from the tv show from
17:40
the low budget movie
17:42
to the big budget movie with a smaller
17:44
roll to the lead role of a
17:46
could be you never know
17:50
and one weekend i was training for a
17:52
fight
17:53
cutthroat city right we were number one
17:55
on netflix in a training camp
17:57
hop to a flight to go to floyd
17:59
mayweather party jump to american top 10
18:01
to go train while i'm looking at a wall
18:03
and i'm on the wall the biggest ufc ever
18:05
madison square garden
18:07
ufc 205 when i beat robbie for the bell
18:10
like
18:10
i ain't going to see her unless y'all
18:12
make me so god's been good
18:14
to me like for real like like i i see it
18:17
and the blessing is just getting the
18:20
wreck like the revelation no matter when
18:22
it came
18:23
that was my biggest most valuable moment
18:26
more than any money more than any
18:27
millions i made
18:28
fighting in the ufc but this past
18:31
weekend my dog really was real with me
18:33
he said you the greatest and you
18:37
worrying about what people think he said
18:39
you putting your attention into the
18:41
wrong stuff
18:42
put your attention all into this fight
18:45
until you done
18:46
to watch what happened you gonna tell me
18:47
god can't flip this around in six months
18:50
you look great you'd have chosen one
18:52
they hate it that you really are
18:54
it ain't just a nickname you really are
18:56
but you know why you chosen one too
18:58
because only a few [ __ ] would
19:01
jump in that cage period i don't give a
19:02
[ __ ] i'm not jumping in that
19:03
[ __ ] cage i ain't scared of
19:04
nothing
19:06
let me tell you something in the cage
19:08
the walk
19:11
you know they're about to lock the door
19:13
mm-hmm you can't get out
19:14
it's only a couple rules that separate
19:16
you from really getting hurt
19:18
and being able to fight again and you
19:20
walk and you got to think about it
19:22
and you got to get vast you got so many
19:24
different areas to stop and turn around
19:26
when they first start you when you're
19:28
getting vaseline you do check in your
19:29
hands you get your mouth right you got
19:31
your cup
19:31
got that dot you turn you make a right
19:34
and you look and you walk it up some
19:36
stairs
19:36
you see that [ __ ] in there
19:38
cameras in there
19:40
i still got to walk through there when
19:41
they lock the door i still gotta stay in
19:43
there
19:44
ain't nobody gonna do that and you know
19:45
what's the real [ __ ] about it they won't
19:47
make that walk
19:49
my problem is people haven't had a
19:51
regular fight in their life the other
19:52
[ __ ] across the ring
19:54
could hurt you too like just he he knows
19:56
just that you know that he's good on
19:58
accident
19:58
you know what else he knows i want to
19:59
ask you to when you go city the city
20:02
being a professional mma fighter do you
20:03
got to check in with the priest
20:05
and [ __ ] like that let them know like
20:06
y'all like you gotta get like believe me
20:08
i don't think that's true i've never
20:09
heard i've never heard one document
20:11
where someone was sued because they
20:12
handled a
20:13
a licensed weapon i think you're
20:15
licensed as a competitor
20:16
in that state and you governed to
20:18
actually compete professionally
20:21
but the only thing someone can do is
20:22
simply say okay well he applied too much
20:25
force he's
20:25
a trained killer and they can only say
20:28
that you could have maybe walked away
20:31
and the judge is gonna have to make that
20:32
choice but i don't think
20:34
ain't no license you swing on me in
20:36
public i'm [ __ ] you up you see what
20:37
i'm saying
20:44
a little little caller you know how you
20:46
get the little car thugs they be barking
20:48
at you you pull it come on miss
20:49
this dude can break you i don't put
20:51
myself in those situations a lot i try
20:52
to
20:53
i try to only go out if it makes sense
20:55
business wise
20:56
if this put me in a situation where you
20:59
know there's too many great minds around
21:01
and we can network and maybe down the
21:02
road something can prosper from it
21:05
outside of the end i lost almost lost
21:07
everything doing that i don't want to go
21:09
back in there
21:10
like i was employed party in miami and a
21:12
guy was like
21:14
basically trying to use me to pick up
21:15
chicks like oh yeah
21:17
i'm retiring i said dog i'm going to
21:21
sleep
21:21
i got a box in the morning dog oh
21:24
tomorrow
21:25
tomorrow brush i said dog got this
21:27
lifestyle i don't live it no more this
21:30
lifestyle almost [ __ ] took my life
21:32
so you can go and do whatever i'm not
21:34
flattered by this
21:35
i'm only here because floyd don't ever
21:37
ask me for nothing
21:38
he asked me to come to his birthday
21:39
party out of respect i pulled up
21:42
but i'm not here i'm not heard of the
21:44
clout i'm not here to
21:45
bring no chicks home but nobody's ever
21:49
like celebrity or civilian off the
21:52
street never stepped to you to try to
21:54
challenge you
21:55
yeah one time what happened it was like
21:59
um
22:00
i went to this party and um
22:04
the young lady that invited me to the
22:05
party was like one of those hostesses
22:07
like
22:07
bacardi girl and like she was a host for
22:09
a liquor company
22:10
so i was already one of the you know i
22:12
mean one of the token brothers there
22:14
the lake of the ozarks and saint louis
22:16
which saw this past spring it was
22:18
tripping
22:18
on tmz from being ignorant so that's how
22:22
it is then they just go out there and
22:23
they go crazy right
22:25
so this dude decides to go up my my
22:28
homies girls
22:29
blouse get a handful of some um you know
22:32
some name belongs to him so i grabbed
22:34
his wrist i'm like dog
22:36
it's my dude girl man you're not
22:39
finished you're sharing you're
22:40
disrespecting like that right
22:41
so names like who are you man she likes
22:44
to look she likes it right
22:45
i was like do you about to get beat up
22:48
so he was like oh i'm a u.s now he said
22:50
i'm a ufc fighter you don't want to
22:52
fight me i'm a ufc fighter
22:54
and i said number one you're not even
22:56
okay let's start there
22:58
two you embarrassing yourself you're
23:00
embarrassing all your dogs with you
23:01
and you're about to get hurt in a way
23:03
you ain't never really been hurt before
23:05
so he was like man we can go outside we
23:07
can fight and you know we can do
23:09
whatever i don't want to
23:10
it's supposed to be he saw him talking
23:11
himself out of it right
23:14
like he's like he was like you know it's
23:16
supposed to be bros before hoes but man
23:17
we can fight but i don't want to fight
23:19
but if you want to fight we can fight
23:21
so long behold as it slowed down he just
23:24
kind of started
23:25
talking himself out of it but outside of
23:27
that at first he was like
23:29
trying to reach the face of the ultimate
23:31
in st louis
23:32
you have to do a face you smack him spit
23:34
or call him a [ __ ]
23:36
you can get shot he was going towards
23:38
the face
23:41
i said brother you will die in here
23:45
in my bare hands will i kill you wow so
23:48
at that point i think i got his
23:49
attention
23:50
you got his attention wow but i try to
23:52
move i just try to get away from that
23:54
because
23:54
it's hard at the end of the day like
23:55
what is he gonna do for me yeah
23:57
i don't see a basketball player in the
23:59
club and do like man i'll i'll shoot
24:01
threes on you right now
24:03
and he said all right let's go outside
24:04
and he's like no that's like with me
24:07
i think i can probably whoop your ass do
24:10
i gotta prove it no because i don't get
24:11
paid for it
24:12
you don't walk you don't walk around
24:14
like that like yo nobody better not [ __ ]
24:16
with me today you gonna walk around with
24:17
the rest
24:19
i walk around like that just because
24:21
it's my attitude it's my persona
24:23
and it's it's this is it's basically
24:25
demanding the respect
24:27
so somebody sees that and they see that
24:29
i'm i'm already showing you that i'm
24:31
going to demand respect on today
24:33
if you come up to the plate on that note
24:35
after that
24:37
you want to try to hurt me more than
24:38
just a fight now i gotta
24:40
now i got to flip the switch on what
24:42
we're about to do
24:44
let me ask you this man um you said
24:48
first of all
24:51
man i don't understand how how you could
24:53
be comfortable
24:55
as a fighter i'm not i'm just thinking
24:57
in general not specifically to you but
24:58
you to you too
25:00
with your mother in the corner and you
25:02
know you know what i mean your kids are
25:04
watching she didn't actually walk out
25:05
though she was in the back though
25:09
she was talking like she was like
25:10
punching me in this damn
25:12
neck chest and stomp his feet i said mom
25:16
no we already got a game plan
25:21
yo was your mom at the um fight like the
25:23
ultimate fight
25:25
yeah she was there i remember because we
25:27
were sitting in the same area
25:29
yeah i believe yeah uh i believe that
25:32
and when your kids when your kids see
25:34
you
25:35
i understand that it's a win because you
25:37
walked away it was a learnable uh
25:39
it was a learnable lesson in in the
25:41
defeat in the progress that you made in
25:43
the fight but how do you explain that
25:45
to your kids what do you say funny is um
25:49
all my kids are different now i don't
25:51
raise any of them the same
25:53
my oldest son is about to be 18 he's
25:55
closer to a man so he almost like my dog
25:57
he don't give me much stuff you know i
25:59
mean he do a sting by himself 4.0 gpa
26:02
all the ivy leagues are looking at it
26:04
for football and he's he's turning up
26:06
he's doing his thing i couldn't be
26:07
prouder
26:08
so we had a real conversation before the
26:10
fight and we
26:11
talked about spirituality i mean reading
26:14
the bible together as a family and
26:16
finding the church
26:17
and getting our life together you know
26:19
and girls trying to come after him like
26:21
you're old enough to get your dead card
26:22
dog but you also old enough to be a dad
26:24
and get aids
26:26
don't try to make me a granddaddy this
26:27
young so we have real conversations
26:30
my daughter told me when she's six years
26:32
old
26:33
daddy um just keep on punching and just
26:36
keep on kicking just keep punching and
26:38
keep picking right
26:40
and then i come back from the fight i'm
26:42
like damn there were some opportunities
26:44
for me to kick him
26:46
and i didn't my six-year-old daughter
26:49
she said how did you do that did you win
26:51
or did you lose i said bad i fought real
26:53
hard and um
26:55
i did lose so i was throwing punches and
26:57
i kind of got a little too hyped up
26:59
and she said did you kick i said no she
27:02
said
27:05
like i told you the kid right so i just
27:07
i explained it to them
27:09
how they receive it my other one my my
27:13
my son is 10 just wants me to he wants
27:15
me to retire because he don't want me
27:16
you want me at home a lot
27:18
you don't recognize that when the
27:19
fighting slows down
27:21
it's going to be another form of art
27:22
that's going to take his place that's
27:23
going to get that amount of attention
27:25
but in his mind it gets me closer to
27:27
home so it's like
27:28
so dad are you still fighting i said
27:31
yeah i'm still fighting
27:32
i ain't gonna just stop because i lost a
27:34
couple i didn't retire
27:36
like five dudes i mean i can't just walk
27:39
away because i
27:40
you know what i mean had a bad date
27:41
obviously oh okay i was just accident
27:44
so hey does your mom always tell you
27:47
before your fights [ __ ] them up
27:49
nah that was the first time
27:51
[Music]
27:51
[Laughter]
27:54
she told them he gets up to your mother
27:57
you be like man oh he was man he was a
27:59
little too pumped up if you have brought
28:00
it down
28:01
in but i don't think i was too pumped up
28:03
i think it was just enough
28:04
and maybe it was maybe it was a missing
28:06
piece because i used to fight like that
28:08
no matter what nobody had to say nothing
28:11
it was just because you said go
28:13
that activated that nothing else had to
28:15
take place you didn't have to land a
28:16
punch
28:17
you didn't have to like do something
28:18
illegal like when you said go
28:21
it clicked in you know i mean and um it
28:24
just felt good to be alive again it felt
28:25
good
28:26
to go out there and see something and
28:28
just say if i get it fine if i don't i
28:30
don't care i'm still good
28:32
you mean in the ufc like in the
28:34
divisions is there any [ __ ]
28:35
that be ducking each other
28:36
is that a lot going on behind the scenes
28:38
ducking everybody want to say
28:40
because this if you do this and watch
28:42
his mommy when you look
28:44
when you compare what i tell you to
28:46
anybody who's made a lot of money and be
28:48
successful in ufc
28:49
they're all going to fit it you got to
28:51
fight like a dog win lose a draw
28:53
you got to look like both guys could
28:55
have been out at any moment you either
28:56
came through one or you lost but you
28:59
gave it to y'all
29:00
right you gotta talk [ __ ]
29:03
for sure and on top of all of that
29:09
when you're winning you have to say i'll
29:11
fight
29:12
anybody in anywhere anytime i don't care
29:15
who it is
29:16
right yeah if you do those three things
29:19
you have a long career you'll see that
29:22
don't mean you really mean it
29:24
you know i mean tom's con has been
29:25
offered to fight me lots
29:27
george st pierre has been offered to
29:29

29:31

29:32
bisman's been talked about none of them
29:34
they all were offered the fight
29:36
officially formally flown in sat down in
29:39
meetings with
29:40
lorenzo for teeter and dana white they
29:42
all said no
29:43
connor said no i remember i just said no
29:46
yes he said no
29:47
george said no bisman said no both did
29:50
actually nate said yes one time
29:52
but they wouldn't pay him what he asked
29:53
for but i remember seeing a clip of you
29:56
and connor
29:57
back back backstage behind at a fight
30:00
one time and y'all both was like at the
30:02
concessions and he walked by and he made
30:04
it seem like he was
30:05
like you were scared tried that [ __ ]
30:08
so what he did was i didn't know he was
30:09
mad
30:10
he had did some [ __ ] today before
30:12
with a little devil
30:13
for jacking off act like he was going
30:16
you know like don't hold me back
30:18
nobody can really hold a wrong man back
30:19
but we're like am i right you're gonna
30:21
tell me a train killer dana white can
30:23
stop you from really getting to this
30:24
dude
30:25
you can never stop me if i want to get
30:27
to you i can't see one security guard
30:29
that the ufc is hired
30:31
in my 20 or whatever fights i had that
30:34
they would be able to stop me from
30:35
getting to a [ __ ] if i wanted to
30:37
right so he was doing the whole don't
30:39
hold me back but as he was doing that
30:41
his jacket opened up and his tag on his
30:43
gucci fur was still in there
30:45
i videotaped it people picked up the
30:48
video saying now he mad at me for
30:49
something he did
30:50
you don't want to show up in there you
30:52
don't want to show up late you don't
30:53
want to have the tag on your jacket
30:55
so now in my mind i didn't even think
30:57
about it we jump on each other all the
30:59
time this is part of the
31:00
part of life i would have thought it was
31:01
funny if it was me so
31:03
he mad about that but i don't know so i
31:05
walked by and i said what's up
31:06
and he don't say that and i go i said
31:08
what's up
31:11
but the camera that they shot was his
31:13
camera
31:14
and the camera that shows the actual
31:16
true story was the actual ufc camera
31:19
they used his footage because you can
31:21
see my camera
31:23
you can see my camera guy in the actual
31:25
shot how would he be in the shot
31:27
if he's shooting for the ufc the mac
31:30
like the mcgregor like camera was the
31:32
one
31:32
that showed his face and back of my head
31:34
but when you look at it on the other
31:35
side you hear me saying
31:37
i said what's up you see that that's
31:39
when i stopped and i looked at him
31:41
so he took that and he came out in the
31:43
back and i still didn't know what the
31:45
[ __ ] he was mad at
31:46
and we get to the back of the stage and
31:48
he's like you look a woman with that
31:50
phone
31:50
you look a bit i said one you never
31:52
gonna call me a [ __ ] in your life again
31:54
mm-hmm we don't do that saying louis you
31:56
die for that don't don't ever
31:58
that's what we now you can play with any
31:59
of these other dudes but we're not gonna
32:01
do that that's what we're not gonna do
32:03
and to this day you've never heard conor
32:04
mentioned me since ever
32:06
hmm wow man i'm loving this
32:11
i mean it's real [ __ ] though yeah man
32:14
kind of said something about me since
32:16
then i haven't heard anything
32:18
you know oh neither let me ask you this
32:20
we were talking about jon jones and
32:23
everybody's anticipating his next fight
32:26
right yeah um i mean
32:30
i support so i sport so
32:34
we we always submit to the entertainment
32:36
before the sport
32:38
the sport says stipe mioshi deserves a
32:41
rematch
32:42
because he beat this guy and he's
32:44
quote-unquote the best champion ever in
32:45
the history of being the champion
32:48
and they're one and one now sports said
32:50
that
32:51
the nate diaz fight though it did never
32:53
supposed to happen
32:55
it was always a replacement fight of the
32:57
fight that didn't take place which was
32:58
junior dossanos for the title
33:01
right that fight
33:05
was replaced by nate's fight nate won
33:08
conor won that trilogy should have
33:10
happened yeah right
33:12
the the fight with dustin poirier versus
33:15
conor mcgregor the two
33:16
in my opinion two remaining biggest
33:18
stars since khabib
33:20
decided he's completely done that's the
33:22
title fight
33:23
everything else is the number one
33:24
contendership right
33:27
but the entertainment aspect or
33:30
this person wants too much money let me
33:31
show your ass we'll let these
33:33
[ __ ] fight for the title for
33:35
a 16th of that control
33:40
i bet the the politics behind the ufc
33:43
man i think i don't know if anybody's
33:45
talked about it quite extensive
33:47
as you have you know like i learned so
33:49
much about the inner workings what's
33:50
your relationship with dana
33:52
white now we were cool you know um i
33:54
really i really didn't speak too much i
33:56
really
33:57
i just took a step back because i found
33:59
that telling the truth
34:00
only made me seem to be complaining and
34:03
entitled
34:04
so then why do i need to explain the
34:06
truth when the real ones know the truth
34:08
so then i just reshifted my focus from
34:10
trying to prove everybody wrong
34:12
just proving myself my coaches and my
34:15
loved ones and my family and my kids
34:17
proving them right and uh when i did
34:19
that i just didn't have a lot of time to
34:21
go back and forth
34:21
if somebody said something negative
34:23
about me like
34:25
i always use this example if you tell me
34:27
i'm purple
34:29
[ __ ] laugh at you there's no
34:31
difference
34:32
between saying i'm scared and i'm purple
34:34
if the truth of the matter is i'm not
34:36
scared
34:37
there's no difference between saying i'm
34:38
a shitty fighter if i know i got five
34:40
world titles
34:42
and i'm one of the best that's ever
34:43
[ __ ] fought ever in any way
34:47
i'm gonna laugh at that so when people
34:49
say [ __ ] that's not true
34:50
one i don't feed them i don't
34:54
live with them i don't take care of them
34:56
they're not adding to my life they're
34:57
not coaching me
34:58
they're not sacrificing for me so why do
35:01
i give them [ __ ]
35:02
i just quit caring so sometimes that
35:05
they come from a negative statement that
35:07
could come from above
35:08
i i really didn't care i didn't i didn't
35:10
i didn't fight to argue it
35:12
i just fought i just fought differently
35:15
i went out there and i started doing
35:19
i went out there and i started doing
35:21
outside art
35:23
that made people have to notice me in a
35:26
different light
35:27
i mean that's what i started doing
35:30
being a champion you think when you had
35:32
the belts back then
35:34
um you would have did the business a
35:35
little different when you was the
35:36
champion as far as the deal as far as
35:38
your next fights after that
35:39
you know as far as being a champion yeah
35:41
i would have did the business
35:42
differently but
35:43
i would have gotten the same fights i
35:45
may have gotten paid a little bit more
35:46
just because
35:48
when you seem like you'll you know help
35:50
out or do a favor or
35:51
take a fight last minute or be okay with
35:54
a opponent's
35:55
wish they're more likely to you know i
35:57
mean negotiate
35:58
higher with you on a dollar so i think
36:01
the thing that i
36:01
needed to recognize earlier that i think
36:03
it was too late to recognize source
36:05
again
36:06
is that i don't own a ufc i can't make
36:09
them i can't make them [ __ ]
36:11
match me with anybody i can't make them
36:13
promote me a certain way i can't
36:15
tell them what they should do when they
36:17
own this [ __ ] with 600 fighters
36:19
and every single thing may not be a
36:21
conspiracy theory every
36:22
every single um series of events may not
36:25
be them trying
36:26
to set me up or cause me to fall and i
36:29
like gotta
36:30
i could have thought about that
36:31
differently and i think it would have
36:32
made it
36:33
negotiations a little differently with
36:34
me it been a little easier
36:36
and it's cringey for everybody every
36:38
time we got ready to do a deal
36:40
dana and shelby and hunter and
36:43
everybody oh here we go again every
36:45
[ __ ] fight
36:46
you know i mean it was that battle and
36:48
it was really
36:50
a miscommunication we all wanted the
36:52
same thing i wanted to be treated
36:54
fair they were willing to treat me fair
36:56
they wanted me to fight more often why
36:58
wanted to fight more often you know i
36:59
mean so in reality
37:02
we found out towards the end that we
37:03
really just never had a problem
37:07
i was just a professional i'm a business
37:08
guy i'm gonna ask questions
37:11
and you're thinking man you're highly
37:14
intelligent
37:15
yeah you're hot you're worldly you're
37:17
highly intelligent and you can't just
37:19
tolerate something
37:20
if you think it's inequities in it and
37:22
so you spoke up
37:23
especially when you know it's inequities
37:25
in it i'm not gonna allow myself
37:27
yeah i may have sat down and i may have
37:29
sat on the shelf i may have missed
37:30
a couple gigs here i may got taken off
37:32
television for some things that i said
37:34
but at the end of the day
37:36
nobody can ever say the industry could
37:38
afford me nobody can never sign kiss a
37:39
pinky ring nobody can ever say i didn't
37:41
stand up what i believe
37:42
or i feel to myself because of what
37:44
people would think you can never say
37:46
that about me that's one thing
37:48
that anytime you look back at my career
37:50
you're always going to be able to say i
37:52
was solid
37:52
when i seen tyron in the casino when i
37:54
seen him as a [ __ ] serious
37:56
when i seen him in the grocery store
37:57
when i seen him in the studio when i
37:59
seen him walking out to the fight when i
38:01
seen his kids when i see his mom
38:02
he the same dude i mean i don't have to
38:05
flip a switch some
38:06
sometimes you lit enough where your life
38:08
is living living worship is
38:10
showing god it's showing off on god
38:12
every single day you don't have to like
38:14
oh now i'm willing to do that you're
38:17
talking about wwe
38:19
mm-hmm wwe is that an option
38:23
is that an option giving us some insight
38:26
i feel like you've given us a is that a
38:28
breaking news story i'm a thinking man
38:30
you know i mean this this
38:32
this um fight didn't come up on me by
38:34
surprise so
38:36
okay hey you know what i like to think
38:38
about you know you know what i like to
38:40
say to also you're not the average
38:42
fighter you went to college
38:44
yeah right you went to college you went
38:46
to missouri a lot of ufc fighters i
38:48
don't think in boxes
38:49
ever went to college i think they you
38:51
know was in the gym half of their life
38:52
more than half of their life and stuff
38:53
like that
38:54
when you went to college and stuff like
38:56
that now you came back to the streets
38:57
and you know guys looking at you
38:59
do you did you um like did you start
39:01
something in missouri did other kids
39:03
want to become
39:03
like you like far as ufc fighters
39:05
because they saw what you was going
39:06
through
39:07
you know we we made it we made it happen
39:09
to be smart
39:11
like me and me and a group of my friends
39:13
we we made fun of people it was dumb dog
39:15
you dumb
39:17
you hella dumb man you couldn't even get
39:18
this right look all you had to do was
39:20
this like
39:22
we stopped allowing people to even try
39:23
to make fun of us for being smart
39:25
because i'm like you gonna work for me
39:27
dawg you think it's
39:28
you make it fun like let me get this
39:30
right you making fun of me because i'm
39:31
making good grades
39:33
so i can make money you don't you don't
39:35
want it
39:36
so then then everybody wanted to try to
39:38
be smart
39:39
so we did that in my school so i never
39:41
really had that that peer pressure to
39:43
try to
39:44
hide my intellect and that would take
39:46
away my street credit
39:47
and and quite frankly most people wanted
39:49
me out
39:50
when i was growing up and i was game and
39:52
that's why i said in a
39:54
in an interview i said i got trusted
39:55
[ __ ] i grew up gangbanging i don't
39:57
my head on the swivel i live in the
39:58
murder capital of the country saint
40:00
louis is the most murderous city
40:02
in all the united states i gotta look
40:04
around i don't trust people very often
40:06
and if i feel like your word is not bond
40:08
i'm always going to be
40:10
keeping you close but i'm always going
40:11
to be like uh what's going on
40:13
right so when you put all those things
40:15
together you got to equate that
40:18
the intellect that you get from college
40:21
my dogs wanted me to go they didn't pay
40:23
for it they would if they could have
40:25
but they wanted me out they wanted to
40:26
see me win for them so i can always go
40:28
back
40:29
you know i mean always because they know
40:31
me they know they know what i would have
40:33
done in the street
40:34
i would have turned up the same way i
40:36
turned up in fighting the same mentality
40:38
i was i was all i got a name in the
40:40
street from fighting
40:42
people would call me t because i just
40:43
knocked people out as a kid
40:45
what they called you what was your [ __ ]
40:47
they was like he little but he bring the
40:48
wood and she called me t-wood
40:56
and i would i never lost a street fight
40:58
everybody want to fight me i'm like all
40:59
right you can fight me
41:01
i'm gonna [ __ ] you up and i was little
41:02
though i was tiny
41:04
but i would black out in street fights
41:07
was it wrestling in high school that got
41:09
you like a scholarship to go to college
41:11
yeah you know i thought wrestling was
41:13
wwe and um
41:15
i literally got like come on wrestling
41:17
practice i said all right should i come
41:18
to practice and i went to practice
41:20
looking for the ring and stuff
41:21
so i get there and it's like bats and i
41:23
have no shoes out of some chucks
41:25
so like i go to this little practice and
41:27
[ __ ] and you say hey man we got a
41:28
tournament tomorrow
41:29
you should come to the tournament so now
41:32
like i feel like you're kind of
41:33
challenging me so like i'm like all
41:34
right should i come
41:36
so i come to the to the tournament the
41:37
next day i had one practice of wrestling
41:40
right
41:40
and all he showed me was like the
41:42
football tackle you do do that football
41:44
tackle
41:44
and show me a half nelson like to like
41:46
try to pin the person on the back
41:48
so i wrestled his first match and i
41:51
grabbed his kid and i
41:53
slammed him he hit his mouth open
41:56
when i slammed him and he bit the tip of
41:58
his tongue off
41:59
there was blood everywhere his children
42:01
was on the mat
42:03
and i was i'm like i'm going to jail my
42:06
family
42:06
broke we can't pay for his you know me
42:08
and dr bill
42:10
but all the kids was freaked out they
42:12
were scared of me because i
42:13
i slammed this kid so hard he was
42:15
bleeding his tongue he was going crazy
42:17
blood everywhere
42:18
but i i like that fear i'm like these
42:20
[ __ ] [ __ ] scared of me
42:23
right so then i then i saw walking
42:25
around like that and i won that
42:26
tournament
42:27
then i won the next week and i just kept
42:29
wrestling in tournaments
42:30
because people knew me from that they
42:32
were scared of me so then i kind of like
42:34
i fell into wrestling
42:35
but then i did you're right i did use it
42:38
to get a scholarship until
42:39
high school want to stay titled i was
42:41
all american twice in high school
42:43
scholar athlete i was going to
42:45
university of nebraska originally
42:47
and the coach was forced to resign so
42:49
with two weeks left the
42:51
two weeks of school started i signed a
42:54
committed to university of missouri
42:55
and um i went there and we made history
42:58
yeah man
42:59
hey that's an interesting concept of
43:01
fear like something about the fear
43:04
yeah appealed to you um is it something
43:06
about inflicting pain
43:08
about it i was never really pain because
43:10
i never really punched anybody as hard
43:11
as i could in my life
43:13
i was always as good with seeing the
43:14
punch and going through the punch
43:16
like i'll see the chin and i'm like i
43:17
can get there quick and i always just
43:19
have a way to relax my body and i would
43:21
get there so fast before you even
43:23
know what i'm already twisting my hand
43:25
on your face so
43:27
uh for me i think the dudes who had the
43:30
most juice
43:31
the dope dealers the the the the people
43:33
that everybody knew oh man he can fight
43:35
like i always like when people say nah
43:36
that [ __ ] he can fight
43:38
like to have that people talk to you
43:40
talk about you like that
43:42
i think i just loved the rush of having
43:44
it and the dudes that had the most juice
43:46
they did the most dirt
43:47
they always got their reputation so i
43:50
think that's what that was about but i
43:51
never really just said all right let me
43:53
hurt this person let me break his arm or
43:55
let me knock him out let me knock his
43:56
truth out his mouth like
43:58
it just happens yeah but you but you
44:01
make a living going in the ring
44:03
knocking people out knocking their tooth
44:05
out the upper bull's
44:10
you pop the tape that's what i think
44:11
about it is i don't think about it is
44:13
trying to hurt him i want to just get
44:15
there faster i want to stop
44:16

um my homie shamika wanted to come out
46:45
for a couple of fights but
46:46
the pandemic didn't really allow you
46:48
know i mean so
46:49
maybe down the road okay all right all
46:52
right
46:53
go ahead yeah when you went when you
46:54
went to college what did you study when
46:56
you went to college what was your
46:57
business business so it's hard for me
47:00
not to use it
47:01
but i also study ag business so ag
47:04
business is not like
47:05
how do you sell a car right now is how
47:08
do you
47:08
invest in these soybeans that have shown
47:11
us that they yielded
47:12
this way over the last 10 years trending
47:15
how am i going to plant this for the
47:16
next 10 years and make a profit
47:18
in your 10 and believe in it so i was
47:20
already thinking ahead
47:22
you know i mean a lot in these
47:23
negotiations so sometimes they they
47:26
could have
47:27
they could have went over the people
47:28
head that was negotiating with me and
47:31
damn this flash trying to get a murderer
47:33
negotiating with me or and
47:34
it kind of probably could have
47:36
frustrated because most fighters in ufc
47:37
they so happy to be there
47:39
they're so happy to be in the ufc
47:41
they're so happy to be next to they know
47:42
why they they [ __ ]
47:44
they don't even ask questions yep i'm in
47:46
i don't know matter
47:47
it's better than anything else i mean
47:50
that's like the nba to a basketball
47:52
player though you know that's the nba
47:53
tour basketball player once you there
47:54
you go i mean that's the top of the food
47:56
chain right there you know you yeah
47:58
you know most fighters you know how hard
48:00
is it
48:01
how hard is it to get in the ufc
48:04
it used to be a lot harder guys just
48:06
have to win 10 fights on them
48:08
on their own and hope to be seen and
48:10
hope to be
48:11
um you know being basically scouted out
48:14
by the ufc and then it became the
48:15
ultimate fighter show then it became
48:17
you know after so many seasons of
48:19
ultimate fighters showing years of ufc
48:21
you now have guys that are being
48:22
champions now or camps that have
48:25
produced champions a military discount
48:27
a aka american top team a greg jackson
48:30
team quest now that coach may be able to
48:33
say hey
48:34
i got an up-and-coming guy remember i
48:35
told you that
48:37
you know i mean chelsea was gonna be one
48:39
you know i mean i was writing about him
48:41
trust me on this one as well or i got
48:43
jon jones on myself
48:45
you know i mean he's gonna fight if you
48:47
don't get my other guy in then john
48:48
won't fight
48:49
this fight so he's got a leverage
48:54
what you thought about mayweather and
48:55
mcgregor fighting what did you think
48:56
about with that when you thought this
48:57
guy was going to box and what did you
48:59
think about with that when you first saw
49:00
that i mean
49:01
mayweather was more of a boxer than
49:03
anything in fighting i think
49:05
and um i wasn't expecting him to win as
49:07
many rounds
49:08
i mean he looked mayweather actually
49:10
looked okay but at the end of the day
49:11
let's not be
49:12
confused that that means he won she
49:15
still lost no matter if you look okay
49:16
for 12 rounds
49:18
and then at the last 10 seconds you got
49:19
knocked out she should gotta come as
49:21
hell so
49:22
i thought floyd may have been playing
49:24
with his food a little bit
49:25
too long and then finally you know
49:28
finally came back out but i did like
49:30
to see when he took him out it wasn't
49:32
pretty it was kind of messy
49:34
it was kind of fun for me as a spectator
49:36
to watch floyd just say [ __ ] start
49:38
swinging and look you know me look crazy
49:39
a little
49:40
wild i think they stopped it too soon
49:42
though i felt like they could have you
49:44
wanted to see some more
49:45
remember that did i call them that [ __ ]
49:46
boy
49:50
hey man that's right right uh
49:53
when you when you talk about the little
49:54
man i i i'll be remiss if i didn't
49:56
mention you know ferguson and his you
49:58
know
49:59
seven eight years later what happened
50:01
with the civil unrest
50:03
michael brown had his life taken away
50:05
and and all these different things were
50:07
happening and and right now we in the
50:09
midst of this
50:10
trial with derrick chauvin the man who
50:12
put his knee on george floyd's neck
50:14
you know and i i'm curious to watch
50:17
minneapolis yeah yeah then he's getting
50:21
off
50:23
you feel like he's gonna get off i'm
50:26
telling you i
50:26
was there in ferguson if the national
50:29
guard is there they're not there because
50:31
everybody's going to be so mad he got
50:33
justice reserved
50:35
that they're the police and then maybe
50:37
apply martial law
50:38
and then maybe you know what i mean
50:40
sometimes they'll actually watch and sit
50:42
there and watch the whole riots and
50:44
things
50:44
burn down they won't move they just let
50:46
them tear it up
50:47
and then at the end when they want to
50:49
then they'll apply for us so
50:50
the national guard is there and armored
50:53
trucks are there and humvees are there
50:55
and people are already boarding up and
50:57
posting up it's already
50:59
no judge is just not figuring out on the
51:02
day of what his choice is
51:04
he knows what his choice is and he knows
51:06
the ramifications of each choice
51:08
if he says okay i think there's enough
51:11
evidence to say this was
51:12
negligent and he deserves to serve
51:15
criminal you know
51:16
a criminal charge because it is why
51:18
would he need the national guard
51:21
well that's going to be the jury is
51:22
going to decide his fate you know they
51:24
got to prove beyond a reasonable doubt
51:26
um but it was shocking to me well not
51:29
even shocking man i'm not even surprised
51:31
the condition of this country i'm i'm
51:32
curious to what's changed i'm confident
51:34
that they have the verdict right now
51:36
you're confident what's changed in
51:39
ferguson since 2014
51:41
what progress has been made or not um to
51:43
be honest when i went to i actually
51:44
looked at this video
51:46
and um got the key to ferguson a while
51:48
ago and i
51:49
ate the christmas lights and talked to
51:50
some kids and it was kind of dope
51:52
because i grew up there and
51:54
to kind of get the key to the city was
51:56
was refreshing
51:57
but i see it i seen a lot of law
51:59
enforcement i've seen a lot of families
52:01
a lot of people come together and i
52:02
think it brought a sense of unity
52:05
it was something that we knew was going
52:06
on it just unfortunately got unveiled
52:09
that way which was
52:10
really shitty but at the end of the day
52:12
i did feel like a sense of unity kind of
52:14
happened
52:15
um some of those stores are still
52:17
boarded up
52:18
and it says united we stand or have
52:20
something positive and somebody spread
52:22
paint over it
52:23
so that's what i see uh whether the
52:26
money has been put in
52:28
to increase the cameras or the protocol
52:31
or different methods to
52:33
you know try to you know neutralize the
52:35
situation or
52:36
more training like i feel like a lot of
52:38
the law enforcement should be trained in
52:40
like
52:41
combat like martial arts and brazilian
52:43
jiu jitsu and
52:44
different holds and locks and restraints
52:46
because the more discipline you are and
52:48
the more skilled you are
52:49
the less likely you are to apply for us
52:51
most people that fight for us
52:52
are scared and intimidated and being
52:55
scared and intimidated of a black man
52:57
um young man in the street comes from
53:00
fear
53:02
fear okay all right so that's what i
53:05
think
53:05
so i don't think that i don't think that
53:07
the money's been poured into that
53:08
direction
53:09
but i do think the unity and then just
53:12
the curtain is up the rug is lifted
53:14
people see what the [ __ ] was underneath
53:15
the whole time you know i've seen
53:17
everything you can imagine
53:18
with the police in ferguson so um it was
53:22
very true but
53:23
i thought it was happening everywhere i
53:25
didn't recognize until when
53:26
to win global that it was like you know
53:30
baltimore and little rock and oakland
53:33
and
53:33
you know i mean cleveland and chicago
53:36
and these
53:37
certain select cities that it was more
53:38
rapid now we need to make everybody
53:41
aware of it let's get this [ __ ] out of
53:42
control
53:42
all we gotta do is treat humans like
53:44
humans you treat me like you want to be
53:46
treated that's
53:46
all we have to do this is simple
53:49
like i'm not going to bite my hand and
53:51
watch it bleed it's my hand
53:53
so i'm going to strike you and talk
53:55
about you or treat you bad or try to
53:56
hurt you
53:57
or not let you go home to your family
53:58
that night everybody want to go home
54:00
today family at night
54:02
i think that was a great uh thing
54:04
suggesting that you said that you know
54:06
they should know martial arts or
54:07
something like that learn how to use
54:08
their hair
54:09
is it are you using your platform or
54:11
should you you should use your platform
54:12
and yeah i've offered these services to
54:14
several
54:15
um police stations in ferguson included
54:18
and um
54:19
i use my platform to basically go and
54:21
speak to kids because i feel like
54:22
for me to go and tell a 25 year old man
54:25
how to be a man
54:26
and what he shouldn't should do he's
54:28
gonna look at me like i'm trying to tell
54:29
him how to be me who the [ __ ] am i
54:31
who are any who is anybody to do that
54:33
but if i go and talk to a kid
54:36
in elementary school about bullying or i
54:38
talk to a middle school kid about
54:39
identity
54:40
how to know who you are so they can get
54:42
it before they go to high school
54:43
and they [ __ ] lost their freshman and
54:46
they don't they got to find somewhere to
54:47
click up with
54:48
right why not give them self-confidence
54:50
and self-awareness and
54:52
identity and direction in middle school
54:54
and then about choices like i had the
54:56
conversation with my son
54:58
you sex is going to be here drugs are
55:00
going to be here
55:01
oh like we don't want to hear this
55:03
parents heroin crack
55:05
cocaine you mean meth not just weed
55:09
everything is there right so you give
55:11
those very
55:12
appropriate messages to those kids i
55:14
feel like those are going to shape them
55:16
because
55:17
if i would have had somebody when i was
55:19
around this age
55:20
to tell me this about leadership in
55:23
middle school
55:24
i would have been better if i would have
55:26
had somebody in high school
55:29
if i would have somebody in high school
55:31
tell me about
55:34
if i had somebody in high school tell me
55:36
about sorry about that somebody shot a
55:37
comment put on do not scare it
55:39
tell me about basically making choices
55:41
that'll set me up for the rest of my
55:42
life
55:43
my son got a little bank account he want
55:45
to get a job so bad i said you don't
55:47

56:43
you didn't get a dime from your dad
56:45
i just funded you the money i like that
56:49
well that that's that business that's
56:51
that generational
56:52
wealth that financial literacy
56:55
yeah say that again one second
56:57
post-economic that means that no
56:59
no recession no great depression
57:03
no day you you don't have to work a day
57:05
in your life
57:06
ever again and for the rest of your life
57:08
and the rest of everybody with your
57:10
blood in your veins
57:11
like they would be set on residual
57:13
passive income
57:14
that's becoming post-economic that's my
57:16
goal nothing
57:17
not the business not a billionaire
57:19
post-economic mean you got too many
57:22
passive sag movie
57:26
ass cap pay-per-view investments 401k
57:31
stocks mutual funds it's impossible
57:34
nothing can happen when you have to work
57:36
another day
57:38
would you let any of your kids fight
57:39
like you don't beat me
57:41
my oldest son i think he might want so
57:42
he can punch i want to press
57:44
him i want him to focus on one of two
57:46
things now but he punched hard enough
57:48
and he picks up stuff too quick
57:50
to not do well if he wanted to do it he
57:52
punched stupid heart
57:55
oh you felt this punch yeah he punched
57:58
he spawned me a couple times i want to
57:59
see if he can
58:00
he's not scared to get hit either that's
58:01
the scary part when somebody learned
58:03
quit they
58:04
agile he's he had great footwork like
58:06
people will say that
58:08
he's comparable to london fletcher when
58:09
he played football he got a motor
58:11
he got great footwork and he a dog he's
58:13
way faster
58:14
than with his body type he's like he's a
58:17
little bigger than me maybe like 220
58:19
legs huge body big and he's just he a
58:22
goer
58:23
so fighting wise i think he'll he'll do
58:26
real well
58:28
hey man um i've been loving this
58:30

59:13
so was so was rashad at this who was
59:16
demetrius johnson so with so many
59:18
others before then and i find that each
59:21
country or each state or each superstar
59:23
got their own solo individual respect
59:26
and love and promotion
59:27
kind of got himself in ireland dustin
59:30
poirier got himself in
59:31
louisiana max holloway got him in hawaii
59:34
but the african athletes they got one
59:37
country
59:38
africa got thrown together in a bundle
59:41
and it was
59:41
it was francis zangano and as you said
59:44
and it was style bender and it was kamar
59:47
usman
59:48
before recently to became it became
59:51
convenient to be so african usman was
59:54
marty from nebraska and what
59:58
yeah look back when he wrestled
1:00:01
when he wrestled at um um university of
1:00:04
nebraska kearney his name was marty
1:00:07
he went as marty he never was so
1:00:10
super black same thing with style being
1:00:12
sam bill's from the uk
1:00:14
he's more of a brit than he's anything
1:00:16
but at the end of the day when it became
1:00:18
convenient
1:00:19
and they can go back to africa and show
1:00:21
all these different
1:00:22
i'm not trying to take away their kosher
1:00:24
because they are african
1:00:25
but i'm 40 african i'm 80's my 23andme
1:00:28
say i'm 70
1:00:30
i mean sorry 87 african 40
1:00:33
of that's from nigeria why can't i be
1:00:36
the nigerian nightmare
1:00:39
oh i don't even think okay i just think
1:00:42
i did i think it's very
1:00:44
very assuming that the more
1:00:47
how do i say this the right way i'm
1:00:48
trying not to say the more you um
1:00:52
the more you put on the show
1:00:56
the more you do whatever someone wants
1:00:58
you to do
1:00:59
the easier it is for you to get the love
1:01:02
look at those three and see what they're
1:01:04
doing
1:01:06
hmm i thought they were just fighting
1:01:09
winning belts
1:01:10
i didn't know i didn't know if it was
1:01:11
that much
1:01:13
beyond it i mean you can't deny that the
1:01:15
skill sets
1:01:17
in my line though did you see usherman
1:01:20
get credit by himself as an african
1:01:21
fighter in
1:01:22
nigeria did you see style better get his
1:01:25
individual credit
1:01:26
for being him did you see francis did
1:01:29
you see siddique youssef
1:01:30
they collectively got bundled in in the
1:01:33
quarter filling
1:01:34
ever so convenient african package so
1:01:37
what they're saying is now is that it's
1:01:38
from
1:01:39
three african champions in the ufc
1:01:41
that's why they highlight this so much
1:01:43
now because it's three african champions
1:01:45
i think it's very peculiar it's very
1:01:47
unique for any sport to be honest
1:01:49
and it should be celebrated but it
1:01:51
shouldn't have taken
1:01:52
something as is as probability cracking
1:01:56
as three nigeria or three african
1:01:58
champions to salute it this is our first
1:02:01
year
1:02:02
in two or three years that we did
1:02:04
anything for
1:02:05
african american history month in the
1:02:06
ufc and i bitched him a fit
1:02:09
many years back to back we did it we did
1:02:12
it
1:02:12
three or four years ago actually 2016 or
1:02:15
15 we did it
1:02:16
one time on february 28th me phil davis
1:02:19
karen bryan we did it on the last day of
1:02:21
the month
1:02:22
and then up until this year three or
1:02:24
four years later we didn't do anything
1:02:28
hmm okay man tyron woodley ladies and
1:02:31
gentlemen tyron woodley man those are
1:02:32
all facts
1:02:35
you know what i suggest your fans and
1:02:37
every other fan and all the people that
1:02:39
love social media let's get back to the
1:02:41
old school we did research ourselves
1:02:43
yeah you don't trust what i said to be
1:02:45
true look it up
1:02:47
because we so quickly say yes and we re
1:02:50
quote
1:02:50
regurgitate word for word verbatim lines
1:02:53
is law without doing no research
1:02:56
marty marty you said martin of course
1:03:08
he was focused even if i wasn't he was
1:03:11
so yeah
1:03:12
he's maintained focus he get a lot of
1:03:14
scrutiny like
1:03:15
a lot of people you know i mean they're
1:03:17
not just jumping off the wall to
1:03:19
go and buy a hooshman fight kid but at
1:03:21
the end of the day
1:03:22
he still found a way to win so he's
1:03:24
still a chef
1:03:26
out of all the uh well out of the people
1:03:28
that uh
1:03:29
you didn't win against was he
1:03:32
probably the most efficient fighter that
1:03:35
got victory with you
1:03:37
the one that i just fought was probably
1:03:38
the toughest fight on paper
1:03:40
he didn't have the biggest ranking
1:03:41
because he was quiet and he was
1:03:43
respectable
1:03:44
so he sat behind gusman he said behind
1:03:46
gilbert when he really was a better
1:03:48
fighter
1:03:48
he was the one on the ultimate fighter
1:03:50
show the the black zillions versus
1:03:53
um american top team he fought the most
1:03:56
fights on this show mooseman
1:03:58
won the last two because his style
1:04:03
his his style matched up better with the
1:04:06
kid that he was going to fight the
1:04:08
the hassan ki so he was a better fight
1:04:10
matchup for him so he
1:04:12
technically won the show i guess but it
1:04:14
was team versus team
1:04:16
lucay fought a lot of fights he was
1:04:17
durable so he was always on my radar his
1:04:20
his ability to punch and brawl in the
1:04:23
paint
1:04:23
you know i mean his finished ability he
1:04:25
was losing a lot of fights
1:04:26
eight seconds left he found a way to get
1:04:28
a knockout to find a way to get it
1:04:29
finished
1:04:30
90 finishes in his fights so
1:04:34
he just you know his nickname is a
1:04:36
silent assassin
1:04:37
and it don't suit you well in enough
1:04:39
sport to be silent
1:04:42
okay yeah your volume got to be on 10
1:04:44
everywhere yeah he gives so much gain
1:04:46
right now
1:04:48
that's what we do i ain't mad at you hey
1:04:50
man in your opinion
1:04:51
who's your top five ufc fighters you
1:04:54
know how we do top five rappers
1:04:56
ufc fighters the number one of all time
1:04:59
i gotta say is
1:05:00
jon jones number two of all time i would
1:05:02
say anderson silva
1:05:04
he made it look so easily for so long
1:05:06
and uh never really got the credibility
1:05:08
until
1:05:09
he started getting towards the end of
1:05:10
that number three outside of that is um
1:05:13
demetrius johnson one of the most
1:05:16
well-rounded fighter
1:05:17
he didn't have the opponents or the the
1:05:19
the depth but
1:05:20
how can he and the light division was
1:05:23
brand new you know when he
1:05:24
won the belt um third i mean fourth
1:05:27
fighter after that i would say dominique
1:05:28
cruz
1:05:29
he's an underrated goat he's one of the
1:05:32
most beautiful mods in the sport
1:05:34
the way he thinks about the sport the
1:05:35
way he carries himself
1:05:37
and um you know he found a way to beat
1:05:40
the athletic fighter and he do
1:05:42
he had to be honest and open with
1:05:44
something i'm not athletic
1:05:45
he told me the game on how he broke it
1:05:47
down and how he
1:05:48
created this style and to me that was
1:05:51
the most game i ever got from any
1:05:53
fighter last lastly i would have to say
1:05:56
um i would have to say
1:05:59
lastly carlos conde
1:06:04
i was ever so consistent my favorite
1:06:06
fighter personally
1:06:08
but um never saw him have a bad fight
1:06:11
even in defeat
1:06:12
he gave the same effort every time and
1:06:14
uh for me personally
1:06:16
i had issues with sometimes mentally not
1:06:18
giving
1:06:19
everything that was in me and sometimes
1:06:22
given this portion sometimes given that
1:06:24
portion
1:06:24
but i only have one or two fights and i
1:06:26
feel like you saw everything go out
1:06:28
that fight so he uh i admired him for
1:06:31
that
1:06:32
khabib you wouldn't put him in there um
1:06:35
i like to be
1:06:36
but for me i just feel like it's also
1:06:39
your schedule
1:06:41
khabib never ran into a guy like me and
1:06:42
his primary never ran into a guy like
1:06:44
chandler in this room he never ran to a
1:06:46
guy
1:06:46
that um could equally wrestle him and
1:06:49
also
1:06:50
i'll strike him and i feel like he
1:06:53
focused
1:06:54
all his energy on fighting in his show
1:06:57
and i feel like you can see that an
1:07:00
athlete's like him michelle sanderson
1:07:02
i mean sorry kel sanderson and
1:07:05
floyd mayweather and people that never
1:07:07
lost
1:07:08
they obsessively poured every drop of
1:07:11
every thought
1:07:12
into the fighting and um i think he did
1:07:14
and i really admire him for that more
1:07:16
than actually his fights now
1:07:18
um okay uh you want to jump in horse
1:07:22
yeah not getting into detail when you
1:07:24
got your first big bag like you got your
1:07:26
first big bag from ufc
1:07:28
what was the first thing you brought
1:07:31
first thing i bought my first big bag
1:07:33
ufc 205
1:07:35
conor mcgregor versus eddie alvarez we
1:07:37
broke the record for pay-per-view we
1:07:38
broke the record for the gate
1:07:40
still to date the largest gate ever in
1:07:42
the history of madison square garden
1:07:43
bigger than jay-z bigger than beyonce
1:07:45
bigger than highly bigger than the
1:07:47
beatles
1:07:47
uh nobody's ever did a better game than
1:07:50
then
1:07:50
um at that point in time i started
1:07:54
getting
1:07:54
wires to my account to look like bomb
1:07:56
codes i never seen nothing like that
1:07:58
ever
1:07:59
um margin in my purse with my wire
1:08:02
transfers for my pay-per-view
1:08:04
and i bought my house in cash i bought
1:08:06
my mom's house in cash
1:08:08
i bought like seven cars now for myself
1:08:11
and it wasn't all like
1:08:12
maseratis and bentleys and teslas and
1:08:15
mclarens but
1:08:16
like my my stepson's dad i bought him a
1:08:19
car my nanny i bought her a car my mama
1:08:21
bought a car
1:08:22
um my ex-wife at the time i bought her a
1:08:24
huge suv i bought myself an audi
1:08:26
so i was i was basically trying to make
1:08:28
sure people
1:08:29
that was around me and needed something
1:08:31
i tried to lift them up too with me
1:08:33
and then um i just remember being the
1:08:35
kid being evicted from my crib so
1:08:38
like i never want that [ __ ] to happen
1:08:40
again so i said i want to buy my house
1:08:42
in cash so that could never happen to me
1:08:45
yo you bought your stepson's dad a car
1:08:48
what's this a blended family
1:08:49
so ungrateful too nobody ever you know
1:08:52
that's a lesson i learned that
1:08:54
none of them appreciated it what are you
1:08:57
driving a 1996
1:08:58
sebring with no heat and i wanted to
1:09:00
make sure that my
1:09:01
step sign wasn't enough burning up and
1:09:03
hot in this
1:09:04
hot human missouri's [ __ ] summertime
1:09:08
so i said god told me to bless him with
1:09:09
the car and then um i did it
1:09:14
well you say didn't appreciate it he
1:09:15
didn't say thank you it was no
1:09:17
reciprocity he said thank you but um
1:09:20
actions is louder than words
1:09:22
it was sometimes where he could have
1:09:24
been a little bit more solid
1:09:25
and he understood as a man on some
1:09:27
issues that i knew that
1:09:28
he knew wasn't right and uh he kind of
1:09:31
just took the option to stand back and
1:09:33
for me i feel like i feel like when men
1:09:36
get an opportunity to show how much
1:09:37
their men are so many times we're
1:09:39
worried about if
1:09:40
one would treat us like a man or the
1:09:41
dude called me out but call me a
1:09:43
business
1:09:43
but when you get a chance to show you a
1:09:45
man you don't
1:09:48
um all right
1:09:52
uh hey man i you know i just want to say
1:09:54
thank you man this conversation bro this
1:09:56
is powerful man hey come on we do this
1:09:58
every time brother we do this every time
1:10:01
absolutely man and so it's um i'd
1:10:04
like to continue this man because you're
1:10:06
you ill at commentating so there's going
1:10:07
to be some fights that's going to happen
1:10:09
we're going to
1:10:09
want you to come back on bridge business
1:10:12
and give us your
1:10:13
your commentary but would you ever
1:10:15
consider going in the ring with a boxer
1:10:20
you is that happening too oh oh oh oh
1:10:23
oh my gosh we got wwe he got a fight
1:10:26
schedule with a boxer
1:10:41
what division would you fight in if
1:10:42
hypothetically if you fought a boxer
1:10:44
uh what way probably was 75-ish
1:10:48
cruiserweight 185-ish something like
1:10:50
that
1:10:52
hmm if you made 168 you could fight
1:10:54
benavidez you could fight canelo
1:10:57
i mean i could make it it ain't gonna be
1:10:59
cute but
1:11:00
for the right bag i can find a way to
1:11:02
knock them extra two pounds on
1:11:05
yo man that's crazy canelo ari i already
1:11:08
said i want to fight canelo he said he
1:11:10
will fight him too
1:11:12
so wait no his cam told my camp he would
1:11:15
fight me but
1:11:15
i i never seen enough to happen with it
1:11:17
but now that 168 they probably got
1:11:19
moving 175 170 or something like that
1:11:21
to make it sweet i mean i think we
1:11:23
should do both i think we should fight
1:11:25
at 168 and then 175
1:11:27
see if there's a difference i feel like
1:11:29
you fighting canelo and no
1:11:31
no offense but you fighting canelo in a
1:11:33
boxing match
1:11:35
it'll be it won't be the disparity we
1:11:37
saw in mcgregor in
1:11:39
mayweather but but it's canelo bro
1:11:43
like i mean what do you do you you wrote
1:11:45
a dice right
1:11:46
i always wanted to fight the best mma
1:11:48
dudes because when losers draw it
1:11:51
the wrist matches the reward so when i
1:11:52
want to fight robbie i wanted to fight
1:11:54
you know gsp i wanted to fight the very
1:11:56
very best
1:11:57
why would i come over into boxing and
1:11:59
not want to fight the best
1:12:00
or a former best or something i thought
1:12:03
i thought de la hoya did de la hoya say
1:12:05
you want to fight me
1:12:06
de la hoya said he wanted to come july
1:12:08
3rd he said he want to come back but
1:12:10
are you are you are you the guy you're
1:12:12
