[MUSIC PLAYING]
It's Shawn O'Malley. [MUSIC PLAYING] He's from the Lally. I don't think he is.
“He'll fight to tell your dad, I can't see.”
[MUSIC PLAYING] I don't think he's made a fight at the White House. [LAUGHTER] Whoa, today is a very important day. I'm not sure if you're aware.
Oh, there's just smudge all over that. Why is it an important day? There's a smudge. Well, you can get one, Dax.
We have our first fighter coming in.
I've been here. Just for that, I'm going to beat the shit out of you, During. Have you ever fought? Yes. I've never fought one.
I've fought many times. Are you guys going to fight him? No. I'm a maybe. Maybe you have him.
Maybe he's dead or not, oh, wow. He's got some, I don't give a fuck, you're the first to give. Yeah. To be a fighter, you got to be a little crazy. No normal person can beat you out.
Not bad. I would grab that joke real quick. Oh, my God. That hurt. I might be a better overall athlete.
Who's your dad if I put on a pad right now? You punched me in the straw. Yeah, that's amazing. We know nothing about you, but I mean, we know of you, which is impressive. The fact that we all know who you are, don't follow the sport necessarily.
I love to hear that. It's like whatever you're doing on a branding perspective, your wardrobe, I don't believe that. We appreciate that. We're talking about Tommy Lee, too.
You might not even know his band, but you know Tommy Lee because he's like the guy 69 and another person. Some people don't know the music at all. You was 69 tattooed. 69 tattooed.
69 on me. Oh, my God. Really? For Takeshi? He did it.
He did. He did so. My amy. After one of my fights, I was hanging out with Steve, like Steve will do. He was like, well, he beat 69.
I was like, hell, yeah. Were you a fan of his before? You met him? I liked 69. Did you do your hair because of him?
There was a lot of inspiration from his hair. Really? Crazy rainbow colors. Like, there was a lot of inspiration there. Wow.
“I feel like that's what I feel like as far as a person who's fully outside the business”
of UFC, I feel like when you did that, you were on my feet every day from then on. If he wasn't a good fighter, it wouldn't have been happy. The fight, the fair, that fight I did that was so COVID. So we were fighting at the apex in Vegas where I went from the fight before I was in
the arena, like 20,000 people to my next fight was there was like 800 people. Not even that. It was made 100 people in the apex, the UFC, and it was a knock-based dude out, hit him with a right hand, with the colorful hair, and he was snoring. You could literally hear him well.
Really? Really? Crazy. Yeah. It was just an exciting knockout, or was this like a big fight as far as the--
I was my third UFC fight, so it wasn't like a big fight in the rankings, it wasn't for
the title. It was this last game I had a lot of hype from coming off the contender series from Snoop Dogg. Do you guys hear this? No, just because I'll play a two second.
Yeah, I know what you're going to do. You have the right to it, right? Look, I know what you're doing. Oh. And I don't want to play too much.
I'm going to let's copy right there, but that was when I first walked out and then fast forward into the fight. I don't remember at what point, but Snoop's-- Shawn, little, bitky, oh my God. You didn't know that?
That was crazy. That was crazy. This was-- this was 2017. I mean, look at me, look at you fucking-- You literally look like I'm 12.
When you saw that for the first time-- Well, you do. Why did you say a little dickier, where you like-- No, I put it in that-- I had gotten that.
I was always like, hey, that's a good thing.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was really happy about you. You got your shot or your shot or your shot. You got your shot or your shot. Much hotter version of this.
“You should just read you Friday, too, and you guys switched bad.”
I thought about it. I thought about making an entire album of freaky Friday, same beat, 12 straight times, 12 different bodies, just, but I thought, no one on earth would ever-- I mean, that's a couple.
I was so excited. Wait, do you ever get shit when you have the braids? I never even thought about it, really. I didn't even-- Well, now you're going to think about it.
Well, no, I mean, when I first started braiding my hair, I didn't-- I did. I just got from, I don't give a fuck universe hair, right? I can't fight with hair-mise.
I just can't stand it. That was just-- So when I started braiding my hair, I was like, to kind of get out of my eyes, and I felt like I transformed from like, chondently a sugar.
Like my hair is braided, I feel like sugar. I feel like a superhero, I feel extra spasm ahead. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Feel faster. So you know, go out there, ready to get punched.
Well, my main goal and a fight is not, too. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. So inevitable, there's been a lot of fights where I've been able to get out of their unscathed. Never get punched.
I thought that was the whole thing. I mean, the whole thing's like, hit and not get hit. Some people, most fighters, kind of like, "Oh, I like getting hit, I don't mind getting hit." Fuck, I can't get hit.
I don't want to get hit. Did you fight a lot as a kid? No. Football basketball soccer baseballs from when I was like,
Three, four years old, all the way up to high school.
Yeah. Turned 16, hated school, had to get good grades to play basketball and football school sports, hated school.
“My buddies like, you want to check out this fighting gym?”
I'm like, "That sounds cool." How old? I was 16. I was in a super-insicure. Never fought.
You were athletic. I was athletic. And I was super insecure kid going into high school. And I'd go into my sophomore year, I think. And I was like, "Wow, literally I was like,
"one of the first things across my mind,
"I'm like, girls will think that's cool." Like, that was like, I was like-- And you were getting zero girls. I got a couple. You got a couple.
Some of my prime years were high school. You got three and four, you got three and four. Yeah, you got three and four, you got three and four. Yeah, you got three. You got three and four, you got three and four.
Yeah, you got three and four. You got three and four. You got three and four. Yeah, you got three and four. You got three and four.
You got three and four. Fighting. Like I thought of fighting as a sport, I thought of it as like, you know, there, I'm trying to win. It didn't, it wasn't like, I want to-- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you get there. So you get there. And on your first time going there, was it like, instantly,
“they were like, "Whoa, that guy's got something."”
So when I was 16, 17 years old, I was like kickboxing with these guys. I was athletically, I was just more athletic. So I was naturally kind of better than these guys. I was beating up guys that sucked.
I put my mind to get this confidence.
I was like, "Holy shit, I'm like, "I'm good." So I built this confidence 16, 17, 18 years old in Montana. Fuck 15, 20 times. Kickboxing in MMA. Built this confidence up.
Came to Arizona and got my ass kicked. Literally for like a flu down for two weeks. Every practice I would cry. I was 18 years old crying. Cry after practice.
I was like, I was the man in Montana. I'd come to-- I came to Arizona, got my ass kicked. Every single practice. When you were crying, were you crying out of pain? Or are you like physical pain?
Or are you like, at crying out of fear that you actually weren't able to-- It wasn't-- it wasn't-- There was times where I'd had the concussions and it was physical pain.
The concussions are terrifying. If you've had a bad concussion and you would just want to be pitch black, you don't want any light. Like, bad concussions. And a lot of the crying was early on was--
I don't have a plan B. Do not want to-- I don't like school. Like, I'm not going back to school. I want to be an athlete. Thankfully, UFC MMA boxing, like, there's weight classes.
So I can't be an NFL, I can't be an NBA. I'm just not skilled, but I'm not big enough. That's just not realistic. I was able to feel that was emotions, cry, but God, and then I was able to, like,
back to the gym in the mile, back to the gym in the mile. Two a days, back to the gym in the morning. The home, taking nap, jack off, go to sleep. I know that routine. Yeah. Yeah.
A warrior's spirit. A warrior's routine. So, like, if you get a fight coming up, do you-- do you-- do you-- do you jack off-- You don't have a fight coming up?
Not the white-- I do. No, no, no, I-- I love that you ask this, though. I know that. Yeah. So, I have two answers for your jack-off question. Yeah.
I haven't jacked off in a year and a half. Well, why? I haven't-- I'm having wet dreams, though, right? No, I have a wife. Put a pound on her.
But, in camp now, I tell her, I said, I said, you get two nuts out of me. Oh, wait, Greno. You can't-- You can't limit it. You get a Wednesday nut, and a Saturday nut.
Why? 'Cause I spar Wednesday. I need my Qi, need my energy. Yeah. Oh.
Remember what Kevin Gates said? It's-- You really feel like if you-- if you release it, impacts your game-- I mean, I think it's scientific.
Well, if you can let your Qi build up, and, you know, Kevin Gates is fucking actually-- He's got a lot of gems. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's just gems.
For sure. For sure.
That's-- Yeah, it's incredible.
Watch it tell Kristen about Qi. No, I'm just-- I can't believe it's-- I 'cause, you know, as a girl, sometimes, you get bullied into the whole, like, blue balls can't focus thing.
No, no, I just didn't do that. I just, like, you hear that so often. Blue balls is different. Blue balls is, like, tempting a man. I've been told he's about to come in the night.
This is just, like, not even in Gagia, though, or-- To keep the energy to keep the focus. So you only come twice a week. In camp, yeah, in camp. A lot of athletes are like this.
I think it's not his thing. It's-- Yeah, I know. I would say, I bet if you asked a lot of people that probably don't think of it as--
“I mean, it is scientific, I think you said it.”
I think it's like a real keep in your Qi. If I fucking jacked off a sporn out, I'd probably just want to be like, man, I'm going to chill out later. Oh, you held off for us.
Well, and I've-- I've-- December 2024. It's going through a bunch of-- I have a wife, got a couple of kids. And we were going through some issues. And it was me just-- I'm fucking--
To be a fighter, you got to be a little crazy anyway, right? Yeah. I was having issues. December 2024, I take these mushrooms. I have this-- I'm like, OK, I need to--
I got off social media. I haven't been on social media. Good for you. In a year since December 2024, I got off social media, quit Jay and off.
And it's really changed my life. That's right. The social media thing though, it's like-- Tell us. You just see, for me, it was like, you just--
I get normal levels of horny throughout life. But when I'm on social media, you see all the girls. And it's my biggest weakness. And it's like, I can't help it.
What does it make you think? Like, you just think these girls are all so hot. You just-- I just want to ride. Barry, Barry, my three inches deep in them.
- Yeah.
- But you buy them? - Small thick?
- No, it's decent. - OK. - If-- - What is that? - I mean, I'm sure I'll try the same size. - What do you look at her hair?
- I don't know. - I don't know. - I don't know about that. - Well, he says things like Barry them. But he also said three inches, but yeah. - I'm sure I have the smallest thick.
- Yeah. - Did you have the best? - I do. I have the best of all three. - For her?
- For her? - And that's how it matters. - Yeah. - So, so you were impacted sexually. - Bye.
- Bye, Steve. - Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. - Well, you're just social media in a hole. And it's kind of like, I have two kids now. And I just, I don't want to be-- like, if you see someone just kind of like, surfing,
like, what if I see someone just surfing, like, I don't want to just be doing that. - Yeah. - Or rather. You know, like, I still watch you. I don't have Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook.
I have someone that runs all my stuff. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I watch YouTube and I still even almost feel guilty doing that. - Yeah. - If I catch myself, I'm like, fuck, I don't even--
I'm trying to be-- and I'm far from it. I'm trying to just be more present.
“Like, just trying-- and I think social media is being off that.”
- Oh, there's kids. - Five, and he turns-- my little dude turns one, this month. - A two-boys? - Girl and a boy.
- Yeah. - How's it feel? - It's good. - It's the best. - Do you guys don't have any kids? - No. - Yeah, no. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - You guys don't have any kids? - No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, that's what I want to do. I want to do it. I want an army, but it's kids are the, it's the cool--
I know, and I want it. Like, I've known I want kids for a long time. - And how is it? - Tell us about it. - It's the best. - Yeah. - It's the best.
Little, little Mateo, like he's got his two-teas right here. Two-tea poppin' in the top, like, and it's just, it's so, for watching them baby breast beat, too. It's just something about that. It's just so fucking cute.
Like, he'll be over there and Danny will be like, Mateo and like, show him it, boom. He'll be like, "I'm fucking spit." - Right, like, crawl and slap him up, watch on. - Yeah. - But having the right baby mama,
having the right partner to raise kids. It's so, like, I'm so thankful. I didn't knock up some random girl. - Yeah. - Oh, yeah. - Oh, yeah. - I would be like miserable.
- Are you, um, I mean, she's got to be a rider die 'cause she's stuck with you through your childhood. - I put her through a lot. - She's the best. - Oh. - I put her through.
- And you're like, now you're, like, repaint. You're doing, like, everything you need. - I'm doing my best. - Yeah. - I'm doing my best. - Did she get nervous when you fight?
- She actually doesn't really get nervous. She watches me train, and I think there's this confidence. She gets from watching me, put it in the work. - Yeah. - To where, like, my mom and dad
get so nervous 'cause they're never, ever in the gym watching me.
They're never seen what I do. - Yeah. - To where she watches, she watches me spar, she watches me train, and she, so she, like, at the fight, can, like, breathe. - Yeah. - And, and she's watched me win,
she's watched me lose, and she's good through it all. - So, like, what's going on right now? Are you, like, dieting? - Yep. - Are you, yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - You want?
- Yeah, so right now I'm 160.
“How am I 160? - When you have to wait for the fight.”
- One, thirty, five. - Okay. - Okay, so it's okay. - This is my favorite. - Wait, you have to, I'm sorry, you have to lose weight. - I'm 160 right now, and I have to weigh in at 135,
the day before the fight. - I understand the strategy, but then how is it, like, 12 hours later, it takes 32 hours or something like that. - So you, they have to get all your energy back. - Yeah. - I'll go from 135 away at 135,
and then by the time I get in the octagon, I'm about 152, 153. - Yeah. - So you get it, and then they don't even re-way them right before he has 32 hours. - Wait, this is gonna make it so, so it should work on this.
- All right, I just want you to break down to her. What the process is that week leading up to. - Okay, so I'll start at 160 where I'm at right now. I'm gonna lose 10 pounds from dieting, which is horrible, because I have to train extremely hard.
- Yeah. - And I have to burn more calories than I eat. Typically right now, like, I'm gonna be burning a lot of calories. You get hungry, but you have to eat a little bit less than you burn. So I'm gonna go from 160 to 150 in the next five weeks.
- And it's like science. - And it's very avid nutritionist, I weigh my food. It's 160 to 150, that's not horrible. It's not like the worst, it's not great, 'cause you get a little bit hungry.
- Do you feel the calorie like deficit? - Yes, but from 150 to 135, fight week is where, you know, you're water loading, you're drinking two gallons of water for four or five days straight, and then you cut out salt on that Wednesday
before the way ends.
So you basically, I'm gonna go from 150 to 135 in,
like, four days roughly. - That's a sport within itself. - Yes, it is, but it's a science. Let her not horrible. - So you'll see what happens in the,
and the song is in the bathtub. - Yeah. - If your body becomes like a machine to like be made into a video. - You literally feel like you're dying, you can feel your heart, like eating out of your chest.
It's like when you're on, when I'm actually on weight, it feels like death.
“- Do you dread that part of it more than even the fight?”
- Yes. - It's the worst part of the whole thing. - We're to fight the whole thing. - We're to fight the whole thing. - I don't even feel that way.
- Yes, remember when the dude was walking that, the dude was walking and just like pass out. - What was that dude's name that he was like? - That was recent, right? - Yeah, yeah.
- I fought on that card. He weighed in right, I was in the back feeling like I'm dying. He weighed in and passed out right before I went to go to the scale. - It's like psychological warfare.
Why are you guys putting yourself on that?
- Because if I don't want him out the fight.
- It disadvantage. - It is a solution. - Is there a solution? - That's whoever it comes up with a solution. There's people, there's like a company in Japan,
like one F.C. where they try to weigh you in, weigh you randomly throughout camp, and like you have to fight around that, you can't gain like more than 10%, they're trying.
- I have a solution. - Is here, everybody gets weighed right before the fight. Like they walk up to the arena, you know. They don't make weight, then the fight is ruined, and they've lost.
I know it's a risky proposition. - It's risky, but it's not bad. - But then no one can cheat,
then you're never going to be that weak going into it
'cause you have to get off that scale and go fight the guy, not bad idea. - So everyone just shows up exactly how they are. They can be professional. Maybe you make like a little bit of buffer.
- I don't know how much buffer there is between you.
“The way you have to hit, maybe it's a pound extra buffer.”
- Not bad idea. - You know, laying right before you get on in the locker. That would be risky though. - But it would be. - But it would be. But that's not a bad idea.
- How long are people not making it? - Yeah. - It's not, it's not too bad. - So I think my solution is a real solution. - I think it's not.
- I don't know, I think more, it's like, so much more logical and of the spirit of what I think sports is, which is like, you have your highest level. - If you're weighing the person to understand if it's a fair fight with the weight,
it should be like, you have to walk in and fight
when you're getting that actual number.
- Yeah. - Maybe they're science behind it, 'cause maybe people, maybe there may be, if you didn't write then, people would do it last minute and then be weak when they fought. - That's what I mean. - That's what I mean.
- I don't know what they do with that. - And you're zapping for them to get crushed. - He's been a UFC fighter for a long time. And I think he told Dana, let's do a fight at the White House. I don't know if he said it jokingly or whatever. Dana, I don't know if he has no Dana.
“- And tense, he's the man, he's such a cool motherfucker, he's a great boss,”
he's, he gets shit done, like done COVID. When I have all the sports shut down, we were still fighting. That's when I fought that kid, when I knocked down, I was like, no one was there. - Yeah. - So he was still letting athletes fight
and during COVID, but he's the man. But he's, Trump's that he wants to fight at the White House, Dana's like done, we're making a happen. And that was last year sometime, and now it's on Trump's birthday, June 14th, it's freedom 250.
And yeah, 250 years of America. - Are you the main event of this fight or not? - Not at all, no.
- I agree it to Porya versus Justin Gachy.
- So main event, massive fight, but yeah, very honored to be on it. It's gonna be legendary, there's only seven fights on the card, which is usually there's 12, it's only seven, it's outside. - Outside, yeah. - Outside, outside like that. - I have fought outside when I was a young amateur,
like 18, 19 years old in Montana, that's the last time I fought outside. - Is that a fact anything? - It definitely will if it rains, but outside of it, not on the heat.
Isn't it gonna be a hot summer day? - So we'll be humid. - Yeah, it's like. - Are you preparing in sauna? Are you guys fighting in sauna?
- No, but I do sauna five times a week. I love my sauna. - I can't believe it. - Wait, I have a question about your, the people you fight. - Okay. - Are you friends with any of them? - No, I can't.
- So it's truly like, in the history of fighting, can you ever be friendly with them? - There's been friends that had to fight. You know, for me, like there's guys, in the band of my division, the division I'm in.
I'm ranked number three, like my buddy Mario's ranked number seven. Like there's guys in my division that, like there's possible. I mean, I feel like I'm in a position to where I'm like, I wouldn't really ever have to. - Do you have to avoid friendships
as because you don't even wanna have that in your hand when you're fighting this guy? - Not really, like the chances of you two friends actually having the fight are very slim. - It's not fair.
- Like, I'm surprised you. - Why aren't you guys all hanging out? - 'Cause you guys all know, you all know of each other and-- - There's just so many gyms across the map. - Yeah. - It was across the world.
- Really? - Yeah. - There's guys that live in Russia, Thailand. - Yeah. - Yeah, all over the world. - Did you have been number one? - I was a champ, I was a champ, I was a champ,
defended the belt. - So you've been seeing the highest level. - You've been number one. - So was that light? - Yeah. - I'm number three right now.
I was number one, August 2023, I won the belt, defended March 2024, lost it, and June of last year. - How heartbreaking is it to lose the belt? - I mean, losing the belt sucks, but just losing in general.
I just fucking sucked. - Yeah. - losing, it was hard to be lost. - Twice. - Only large. - Yeah, the support, I mean, twice is the real answer, yes.
“- Well, that's what I've never seen the other real answer.”
So my fourth UFC fight, I fought Chito Varra. He kicked this nerve on my knee, right? Here's like this weird little nerve. And my foot went numb. And like, I literally kept rolling my ankle,
and it's hate watching it back. 'Cause I literally, my foot, I didn't have a hole in my sock. I didn't have this motion, 'cause the nerve shut off. So every time I walk out of the hole, my ankle's bad.
And like, I went to punch, fell on my back, he elbowed me the head, they stopped the fight. - Yeah, I get why you don't count that as a lot. - And I kept saying, this happened in 2020.
I kept saying, I'm better than that motherfucker.
He got lucky, bubble ball, first title defense.
He wins a fight, he gets title shot,
“I'm the champ at the time, and we have the rematch.”
The biggest gate in Miami history. - The massive sold out arena, huge fight. He's from Ecuador, like Miami, that's right. It was a massive fight, and I beat the fuck out of him for 25 minutes.
And it felt so, that was the only time I actually had like, I wanna hurt someone I think, like him, 'cause in the first fight I had played out, he was acting like he was this mad, he beat me, and I'm like, "You beat the shit out of it."
So I don't count that as a loss. - But do you win that fight in 25 minutes? - You beat the fuck out of him. - Oh yeah. - Were you so happy?
- It felt so. - And was it like a latch? It was like a four-year buildup of me saying, that motherfucker got lucky. I'm better than him, and he brought like,
"Why don't you have a rematch?" - Yeah. - He doesn't deserve the rematch, he doesn't deserve a rematch. I didn't like how he was acting, he was acting like he beat me. Like he was the man.
- He loved you. - Yeah.
- And I beat the fuck out of him.
- Oh dude, it was the craziest knee. - Am I- - Am I knee? - I saw your knee. - Did you see what? - When you had chin, when you stood up,
it just now I heard both your knees crack. Is that gonna be an issue? (laughing) - Okay, I'm gonna show you all the pain. (laughing)
- What? - You hear that? - But this is just something. - So are you still through defending yourself? - Did his face concave, did it all?
- That looks so cool. - Oh my god. - Oh my god. - This is the guy that-- - I can't, that's brutal.

- Yeah. - And that's kind of true. But there's game plans you want to stick to, like certain styles, match up against different people. Like, I've had so many fights and you have C in this guy.

- He was like the, it was three second fight.
- Yeah. - It's like, yeah, let it sit down. - Oh yeah, let it sit down. - That's a legendary knee that's now, now. - Yeah.
- You ever gotten like, hit in the face and you're like in the ring and you're just rocked your world and you're just like, oh my god. Like it's like, you're only in the fight and you're like, how am I gonna,
what's the feeling of your head when you're just got rocked like that, you're still up and the guys come and out. What's going through your head? - There is, so that Peter Yon, the guy that's the champ right now,
when I fought him in Abu Dhabi in the second round, I came out boom, cracked him hard, rocked him, hit him with the right hand, dropped him, fast forward, like 45 seconds, we're both standing there and he hits me with a left hand and you literally see it.
Right on the chin, you see my head completely, like, turn it all the way around and it was, that was probably the hardest that I've been hit but it didn't hurt. - What are you saying?
- When you sit back to this moment, it's like, I don't know what I'm saying. - But when you sit back to this moment, it's a good question, I ain't not cry. You think back to this moment, is it like,
a flash the way like if I drank a little
“and I woke up the next day and I don't remember”
a certain thing, like, are you able to actually remember the moment specifically or not really? - It's pretty blurry, it's very blurry. - Yeah. - If me and Dave, good up right now,
and like, punch the air, would you be able to tell like who a better fighter was or not, not really? - No, probably not, no, 'cause that doesn't, sometimes it comes down to who's got more heart. - Okay, okay, okay, okay, you go work.
- We go work, we go one, no, no, no, no, you get to do a little dance. - Oh, you got 10 seconds. - Okay, okay. - I'm gonna do it too.
- For your self-pop, are you ready to end the left hand?
- You can you see? - Okay. - Ooh, not bad, decent. - Wow, oh shit. - That's good.
- He's at footwork. - What? - It's not bad. - Okay, that's fine.
- It was semi slow until you,
“but when, the camera, what could you do?”
- I was fast twitch. - I sell the fast twitch. - No, I'm fast twitch. - I'm fast twitch. - I'm fast twitch.
- You're fast twitch? - Okay, okay. - But you didn't feel like, was it hard? - I was, I'm not, I'm tired. - I'm tired.
- So I was just stressed out. - Well, you're self-pop too, isn't it? - I am. - I'm self-pop, if you wanna do it too. - Okay, so.
- Ooh, wow. - Okay. You're more like, my, my cousin's style. - Oh. - Okay, I don't know.
- I'm more, I'm more a jiu-jitsu or whatever. You know, more, just, you're more, you're more, you're more of a long fighter. He was more of like a, my cousin. - I'll see.
- What? - Oh, wow. - Oh, damn. - She looks terrible. - She looks terrible.
- Okay, okay.
- There was no left hand or something, right hand.
- We just, we know we're in a higher. We know we're like, see, that's all, one, now I will tell you one thing. - Like, yeah, there's not any details. - Tired.
- Yeah, like that. - That got me tired. - Make sure. - Make sure, make sure, make sure. - Okay, okay, okay.
- Did you make me sweat? - How long is that? - I'm actually like, arms are tired right now. - It's a very extreme sport in the world. - You're like, arms are tired.
- When I took boxing once, there's like a quarry, well, it's not the same. It's boxing. - No, you're doing a lesson where you're like, lean left.
- Yeah, I love it. - It was like, you're doing boxing already. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - But it was actually in a boxing gym.
- Yeah, a lot of people do, they don't fight
or they don't, you know, want to fight, but they do workouts for most of them. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - One thing is like, you, like, so like, right now, just like, looking at you, you look like just like, no, you look like a normal dude. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Like the biggest, like, your trainer, like, I'm like, whoa, yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - But like you have like a normal arm, like, so what, so it doesn't, the big guy,
it doesn't, there's a whole, you know, there's different wayclasses. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, - But like, you're not like the most,
- Oh, that's good. - Yeah, yeah, like, that's what it is. - Yeah, that's what it is. - You're like a fast, no, I'm just fast. - Can you punch the air? I just got a watch out. - Oh, no, if you, if I stood up like right here
and you like, what are you most known for? Your kick or your punch? - I would say most known for right hand knock people out. So like, I know that about you. - So peripheral fans, so like, right now,
like, I pretty big hands too, like I'm pretty good. - Yeah, I know that they're pretty big hands. - They're big hands. - Oh my god, you're a freak. - Yeah, I'm pretty big hands.
- No, why are they so big for you? - They're just for knock people out. - Yeah, me. - Yeah. - So, my thing is, my thing is,
- Yeah, I do. - Like, right now, right now, if you, if you like, punch me in the face, like, like, full punch, you're like mine. - What did you do?
- No, the thing, the thing, like, if you knew I was gonna punch you, he probably wouldn't be as bad as, you know,
“the punch, I think it would be just in the back,”
when you don't even have a die. - I don't know if I could kill some more with punch. - What do you mean? - I mean, I mean, I mean, I think Francis Negano, yeah, no, I think he would kill.
- Yeah, like, if you just punch me. - I just wanna see, no, no, no, I just wanna see, like, what it's like. - Oh, yeah. - Oh my god, even like, that, even a little moment,
it just like, rocked me a little. - Well, sometimes, like, it's like, these shots. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Like, you kind of like, when you hit,
oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Don't you know what I'm talking about? - No, you did that, you know, you did that, you know, we're just having it, yeah, we're sending it, so that's your real best album. - I have the phone ahead. - I feel weird, you know what I mean? - You did that to me, I think at 15%, yeah, I might, you die.
(laughing) I have to, like, lay down. - Yeah, we're just ones of the liver shots. - Oh, yeah, we're just wearing the liver shots. - We're just wearing the liver shots. - We're just wearing that, we're just wearing that fight.
- Dude, I was at the fight when Ryan Garcia got that. Wait, so show me that, the little shot. - It's, it shuts you down. - Oh my god. - Oh my god. - I was thinking, I was like, look, I'm gonna give it all up and train as hard as I can for the next like two years. - Uh-huh. - At 36. - Uh-huh.
- I'm kind of athletic, sometimes, I mean, that was a bad display, I'm not really sure the technique. - I'll say this, if you took jujitsu, straight to jujitsu, where jujitsu is like kind of like on the ground where you can sit in it, people and you could choke people. - Yeah. - You took jujitsu for two years, took it dead serious and he didn't do anything. - I could be wrong. - You could, you would be able to beat him up. - Wow. - Do you think I could fight me in the, no, okay.
- The girls, the girls, the girls are getting good. Like, no, the low, the guys, not nowadays, the girls are fucking good. - Maybe it's totally appropriate question.
“- If there was a girl who's the best girl who was in a much heavier way class than you do, do you have a shot?”
- Yes. - Yeah, you're the best. - It's just like, the difference between, yeah. - Yeah, it's, yeah. - Yeah, it's just, yeah. - So, when you're all the girls, too? - Yeah, the girls get fucking, the girls don't really knock each other out too much either,
It's almost more brutal.
- So, you're, you're, you're all so, do you really, you're really quick to do that fast? - If, if, if, if I trained for like a year and I like, went under your guys to do it. - Uh-huh. - Like, do you, do you think there's a world where like, we're like, I'm like, fucking a dude up in the street? - Oh, I'm sorry. - It doesn't take, if you, it depends how your level of commitment.
If you're going to the gym twice a day for a year. - That's a day. - That's a day for that one. - That's a day for that one. - It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a twice a day. - It's a, it's a day for that one.
“- That's what it takes to do. - No. - I mean, like, I mean, like, I'm going in like three times a week.”
- If you did three times a year for a year, you could get good. - Yeah, 100% day. - Fuckin outta your level. - Yeah, that was crazy. - That was crazy. - That was crazy. - Twice a day. - Twice a day, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, - Danny, I've got a lot of that. - All that training can't get him courage. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That is something that you could encourage.
- So, do you know what it is? - I do not have good grades. - Not in fighting, but you have good life courage that I think could transfer. - Zero percent fight courage.
- Never been in a fight, never could imagine it. - I've never been in a fight outside the ring. - No. Never? - No.
- In the same way, I couldn't grab a mic and I hate that wish I could sing. I wish I could perform. I wish I could wrap a wish I could. - I guess I have courage there. - I could not even stand in front of a crowd with a mic for God about that. - You fight. - But you're nervous at all when you go out. - But naked almost in the octagon. - Yeah. - Do you hate that? I always think when I watch these fighters fight, because I used to have such bad body acne, and I was like 32 years old, and I always thought, "Oh my God, I would be so exposed."
- Yeah. - Just like, yeah. - I used to do concerts, and I would have to wear, I wore baseball jerks, because I could show a little bit of skin, but I have to go see my back, and sometimes a crowd would chant, "Take it off." - Take it off. - Just what I say is it. - Just what I say is it. Just some people do, some people do, some people do. - Do any of you guys wear body makeup? - I don't think so. - Okay. - Baby. - When you're in there, you don't give off. - You don't get like spray tear? - You spray it all off.
- You don't get in there, not. - You wear a cup, I have been hitting the nuts, and it's getting hitting nuts, it's just horrible, I'm sure you didn't want to see that. - You didn't want to see that. - It's illegal. - It's illegal. It's like you can't hit the nuts. You can't, I gouge, you can't hear, you know, can't hear. - You can't hear. - No thumbs in the butt. - No thumbs in the butt. - I don't know if that's true. - I don't know if that's true. - A thumb in the butt is a rule, very frantic. - I don't know if it is. It's a frantic one.
- No lick-ing, no biting. - No lick-ing, no spitting. Like here's what I would do. Okay, here's my thing. I'm coming in.
- He's gonna run around like this. - No, I'm coming in. And I'm, and I'm, I'm stinking like shit. - Okay. - Like, then just this before? Is there a benefit to think like shit? - I wonder if they want to beat the fuck out of you more. - Yeah. - Really? - Yeah.
“- If you want to be my friend, you can't be my friend. - Yeah, I mean, they're so in the zone. You probably have a smile.”
- Yeah, not really. - Is it, is it, is it, is it to your advantage? Like, if you're like really a sweaty guy. - And the pressure's like fly off. - Yeah. - More so on the wrestling grappling, but striking not as sweaty. - Are you sweaty? - I don't, I sweat, I would say average amount. - You ever had a headache before entering it? - Oh, I've had, I've been fucked. I've, a lot of fights I've had injuries. - Really? And you just wanted to take a shot around. - Or something, you know? - My stomach just feels not like as good as I was. - That's in reflex a little bit. There's during a multiple times, like, kind of milk up.
- And again, it's like cutting all that weight so crazy on your body and the dehydration. It's like, it's fucked your body up. - So there's been times where you're say, "Oh God, I don't feel great." - But you get a surge of adrenaline. Like, when you like step out. - I, uh, I feel like adrenaline in like octagon a little bit, but not too much. Like, I'm pretty calm. Like, watch my fights. - I might watch my walk out. I'm very, I kind of have this, you're awesome. - You're awesome. - Yeah, I'm pretty, now, after the fight, you, you just won. What are you doing after the fight? - I love a shower.
- After I win, oh, I just, so it's the shot. - After the fight, after wins, the lose, lost showers are not there. - But after the win, what are you doing? - Oh, I talked to myself, I'm like, we did it. You're looking in the mirror. - You're the bad.
“- Are you, like, are you like, even washing yourself or no, you're just showering?”
- I'm, I'm, I'm because, you know, it's a little, so, because after you go, you go club after. - So, you, you, you, you, you, you're just like, I'm the, I'm not kidding. - Oh, yeah, you feel, do it after a win. You make a, you make a fuck ton of money. You just want to fight. You've been training for it for eight weeks. - Yeah. - And it's all over the sense of relief. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It probably feels like it after, like, a concert or something, like, just a way more.
- Way more. - Way more. - It's like, everything, should you have sex that night or no? - Oh, hopefully with really lots of sex. - Yeah. - Really, you're not too tired? - No. - For sex? - Yeah. - He's got, he's got, he's been on a regimen. - You guys want to sit on the couch? - Yeah.
- Floyd's a boxer, right? - Yes. - He's never lost. - He's never lost.
- Would you ever fight Floyd, May, whether? - Oh, 100%, I mean, boxer fight. - Well, there's boxing, even though he's, he's still so good. It's still, because it's here, it's here same way class. - He's a little more. - He's probably the same. He's pretty short, but we'll probably, like, I'm super skinny.
- Speaking of sports and random sports, even though it's not that random.
I think it's okay to call them matches. When I like to do this, I like to go on Fandle predicts app and just predict the outcome and win. Obviously, I'm from America, I'm American-made, and USA has paragliding coming up.
“So, I don't know if I'm just being naive or, or if I'm that big of a patriot, but I think we're going to win. That's my prediction.”
So, I'm going to go on Fandle app, I'm going to make this Fandle prediction. I stand to win. These are real stakes, and this is real life. I'm going to win. The so is America. But you can't, you can't. You couldn't be boxers. Could you? - I had a certain level. I came from kickboxing boxing, my background's more of a boxing. - Yeah, but you would destroy Flandle. You would destroy Flandle. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But in boxing, he'd still probably take you. It'd be interesting, he's getting older.
- Yeah, you know what I mean? - You forget scared. Like, are you ever at home, and you hear, like, a sound, and you think, oh no. - Yes, because I've kids. - Okay, but do you know you could just beat anybody up? - Not if they've a gun. - Yeah. - It'd be the kick the gun out before they could even, yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - Oh, I got multiple guns. - Yeah, I got it. Yeah. - So, I have to still get scared. - Yeah, yeah. - I think it worked on the street, and then, like, that man is huge. I'm scared of him.
- Not really. I've never had issues outside, like, if everyone would club or something, I've never had issues. Everyone's pretty nice.
- Yeah. - I'm the most part, but no one's going to want to press him. - I feel like, drunk people would come up to you all the time and be like, can I, can I? - I've had a, like, once or twice. - I feel, am I, I just avoid it. - Yeah, I'm not surprised. It doesn't happen more with you because you're so well known, guys get drunk. - Yeah. - And you're just not physically that big, so there's probably a lot of big issues. - A lot of big issues. - Oh, I'm surprised it doesn't happen as much either. I'd like to think, when I get, if I do, I don't drink that often.
- Rare, very rarely, but if I do, I feel, I'm just like, I want to hug you. - Yeah, let's go, like, you can't, it's like, you, if a guy, like, no normal person can beat you up. - A normal person, like, no, it's not, it's trained. - Yeah. - Like, like, if there's a dude, even, like, an MBA player that's not trained. Like, if a guy's, like, six, six, and, like, he's, like, an MBA player, like, he can't beat you up.
- It'd be interesting, I mean, they, they would get tired. - I'd talk to him, I'd be interesting. I asked Ryan, because we were with Ryan, and he was talking about Jimmy Butler, and he's like, yeah, he's like, I beat the shit. He's like, he's like, he's like, there's, he said, there's a certain point when weight becomes an issue. - Yeah. - He said, like, shack would be hard, but he's like, honestly, he said it wouldn't be that hard.
He's like, 'cause as long as you can, he said, he said, what he would do is, he was like, I would just defend myself, 'cause any guy, unless you're a trained fighter, you're getting tired very quick. - Yeah. - Well, Ryan, Ryan can't fight. He can't ball. - Yeah. - So he's like, yeah. - Yeah. - So you see, guy, like, with Khalifa.
- Yeah. - Okay, and he does, what's he doing? - Yeah, he's, he's training. - Yeah. - And I met, it looks like he's doing, I'm not gonna fight. - I don't hit, I'm not gonna fight. - I don't hit, I'm not gonna fight. - So like, Ryan, so like, a guy like that, if you like, spar with him, like, and you're going like, like, 25% of how people go in his,
will he be able to, like, do it with you without getting, like, incredibly hurt. - If I didn't want to hurt him, I wouldn't. - Yeah, yeah. Like, if he, like, could you go at 25% in his, and it's like,
“- Like, if you want to hurt him at 25%, he's basically saying,”
- What do you mean 25% of you? - No, I was just wondering, - I was just wondering, like, pickleball is a sport. - Love, where go. - When, when, if someone walks on, they can play almost with anyone immediately. Like, I'm saying, if somebody starts training, and they've been training for a little while, and they get in, can they like, do a spar thing? And that's trying to,
not saying they're gonna beat you, but are they like, or will they be capable enough to like, do something that's like, fun for everyone? - Yeah, I think so. - Yeah, I mean, that's all I want. - Yeah, I mean, that's all I want it. - I'm not a violent person in any way.
I never have any, like, desire to be violent,
but I do have this fantasy of being in a situation in life, where somebody is in the wrong, and we're like in a street when I envision it. - Mm-hmm. - I like this. - And I, I just slap the man across the face as hard as I can, and people see it, and everyone is so happy that I slapped him,
it's so justified, and I walk away and he doesn't do anything, and that's, yeah. - Thank you real moment. - Yeah, that's a slaps. - Yeah, that's a slaps. - Yeah, it was so nice.
“- Oh, I think, yeah. - Oh, yeah. - I think,”
slapping someone's not as, I feel like illegal. - Like, if I want someone to, like, give it a try, fall, but if I slap someone to take your bitch. - But on the note of your legal, remember how I asked him, if I do what it's illegal, but like,
like, boxers have to have their, you know, registered, or is that just a matter? - I don't assume that's, there's some truth to it that, like, if you're an, a professional fighter, that you're considered a weapon or something.
- Basically, if you got in the fight in a street fight,
and he didn't ask for it, but he got in the fight, and he knocked the guy out. - Oh. - Even though it was self-defense, and the guy actually died. - Oh. - He might have worse litigious situation. - Sure,
how, like, you're not supposed to, - Because his hands are maybe a deadly weapon.
- Yeah, I don't recognize him.
when I was like, 16, 17 years old, when I first started training, like, oh, and I can't get in street fights, 'cause you're considered a weapon.
I'm like, I'm never hearing that, and there's some truth to it.
- 'Cause you just don't, it's hard to draw the line of, like, what's gonna win me this fight versus not this guy out, for accidentally killed us. - This thing about being so high level, though, is like, if I got in a street fight, I wouldn't punch somebody.
I might hit him in the body, might hit him with a liver shot, and then just crumble, or I'd realistically take someone down and put him in a submission kind of to where they're,
to take their back, choke them, say, - What's the best thing you're about? - Was your daddy? - Yeah. - Was your daddy? - Yeah. (laughing)
“- What's the best thing we could do if we got into a fight?”
- What's the, what's the hit him in the balls? - Submission, submission. - Balls, I mean, I just, like, if you, I would, just need to learn due to it too. Everyone, I know it's due to it.
- Do you due to it too? - Yeah, due to it too. - Due to it's the best, like, my daughter's due to it's, she's five. - What is this? - She's two. - She's two. - She's two. - She's two.
- She's two. - She's two. - She's two. - She's two. - She's two. - She's two. - She's two. - She's two. - She's two. - She's three.
- I like two. - You're five, but. - If I walked behind you and you had no idea, oh, wow. - And I'd push you. - No, don't do anything. - It's very intense. - I would go like this and cover my neck and grab your eye. - So you can't joke around. - You know how like they're, like, racing.
- When you're like this, like, when you go on a race and, like, a fast learner might give a guy head start and still win the race, you gave me the head start of choking with his heart as I can. Would you have no doubt that he'd still end up in top in like five seconds? - Yeah, that's cute. It's like a nice, it looks like.
- Did you just, I just saw him in that moment. I just saw you switch and your eyes, you're going like this. You're like, and you were looking around. - You're like assessing the situation. - I mean, instantly, if someone were like,
first day you're doing a grab in the hand on the neck,
because then you need this arm to choke me. That was the first day I would do a grab, grab that hand. - Isn't it? - What should she do? - What should she do? - What should she do? - Right. - If a man comes up and where to try something,
what's the first thing she should do? - She should do it. - Elbow to the nuts, probably. - Yeah. - Like, if impossible. Well, if he comes up, like, behind you, like, kind of grabbed you. I mean, I would, whatever, where he's at, hit him in the nuts,
and that would be, like, probably the number one thing. - Yeah. - But I have to hit really hard. - You, I mean, you, that's not a good situation. But if you had a blue belt, if you did GJ2 for two years, I would be very confident that you would be able to submit,
like, an average, right? - Really? - What does that mean? - What does that mean? - It's a box cutter. - Wow. - Box cutter would be nice.
“- I think it would be harder. - Which is GJ, GJ.”
- GJ, GJ, GJ. - It's submission. - So what's it look like? - What's it look like? - What's it look like? - We're just, like, kind of slap hands, and then we would, like, we'd go live.
So basically, I would try to take you down, or you would try to take me down. - Oh, is this the one where you go like this? Or, no, that's where I was. - Yeah. - It's wrestling, but with submission. - So if I grabbed your head, I got this for a friend's dance.
I would grab your head, choke your head. - Oh, my god. - When you say submission, you just mean someone's got a submit. - Someone's got a submit? - Someone's got a submit? - Someone's got a submit? - Yeah, so you got a submit? - I got a submit. - What if that person doesn't want to give up?
- Then I'll thank you choke him out and unconscious him. - Okay. - Okay. - You know instantly when you did that, I feel assornless right here. - So if you're like choke someone-- - And so I, the jujitsu, the best form of like self-defense.
- Yes. - 100%. - Have you been just chomping at the bit to get that belt back? - It's been, so I lost the belt, and then I fought for it again. I fought the same guy at a rematch. You beat me again. That's what this man's name? - Merob.
“- And it is a nice guy. - It's from Georgia, I think.”
- It's from Georgia, I think. - What does that mean? - It's from Georgia, I think. - It's from Georgia, I think. - It's from Georgia, I think. - It's from Georgia, I think. - It's from Georgia, I think. - It's from Georgia, I think. - Okay, it's from Georgia, I think.
- It's from Georgia, my father, the first fight was a close fight. It was a very close fight. I almost hit him in the body in the fifth round. In the title fight, you fight for 25 minutes, you're five, five minute rounds. At the end of the fifth round, I was hitting him in the body shot. He's running around the cage. - I think I almost got him out of the--
- I almost had him. - Lost in decision. Had a rematch with, so that fight, I went into the fight with a torn labor, and my hip, I literally had surgery scheduled for the week after the fight. Because I fought my torn labor in my hip. Got surgery, recovered for surgery, fought him again. The timing was so antsy, and I wanted to get back so bad.
And it was just like, I rushed myself, and he defended the belt. He fought another really, really tough guy. So he's acting, he's training, he's winning fights. I booked the second fight with him, and he actually choked me. - Taped out. - Taped out. - Yeah.
And that sucked. - Do you think you can beat him? - Do you think you can beat him? But are you just restless until you're back on top? Does that mindset just take over me? Until I prove myself, and all these things, I can't rest. Or do you feel like you've already proved yourself one time, you were at the top,
and now everything else is kind of icing. - Yeah, that's a great question, and it is a little bit of both. I just fought January, I was coming off the two losses in a row,
and I'd never come off to the loss of the row, and there was this desire.
I have to fucking get a win. I was associating too much with being a fighter, but I also, I feel like understand that happiness is a skill, and it's like, what I let my brain think of, and if I'm constantly just dwelling on that,
I definitely feel anxious, I'm like, or if I'm like,
Okay, be grateful for what I already have, be grateful for that.
I haven't fucking just built a crazy house, I have these kids, I have a married life's good. That can be in that mindset more, I'm definitely more at peace, but it's like, it switches throughout days, weeks, I need to get that win back, and it's got a both.
- Do you are you projecting, like, you know, 'cause you're a professional athlete, there's a shelf life of an age, from a rep? - Yeah, absolutely.
- So are you always thinking about, what am I going to do,
“and I'm 40, and that's what I'm just thinking about,”
when do you stop, when do most people stop? - Everyone's different, 31 right now, I could literally fight, there's Daniel Cuomo, one the heavyweight belt when he was 39 or 40. - That's younger, no, not a score in this.
- That's a score in this. - That's a score in this. - Very old for fighting, fighting in the young man's sport. - Yeah, yeah. - Like, 25, 26, these killers are coming up, and they're getting better young people. - Yeah. - So I'm 31 right now,
and it's so hard to say, where it is, I could have one more fight, I could have two more fights, I could have 10 more fights. - Yeah, yeah. - Like, I really don't, I don't know how my body feels.
- You're not really thinking about it. Like, you're going in, like, you're taking each fight as a top. - Each fight at a time. - Each fight at a time. - But there is thoughts, it's like, okay. Like, how, like, this training brutal,
training camps brutal, cutting weight is horrible. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I don't have to fight anymore. I do it because I love it, and I was watching this Connor McGregor documentary last night.
I was actually watching a little bit of this morning for inspiration, motivation.
Connor always says, I feel like, I'm so lucky,
because I've been in the sport, I watched Connor from when he got into UFC, to where he's at now, watched his rise, and I get this, and I was watching him just at the weigh-ins from when he thought, "Oh, they all though."
It sold out arena in Vegas, and he's like, I still crave that. - Yeah. - I still want that. - I still want that. - Yeah. - Of course. - Yeah.
- I still want that. - Yeah. - I still want that. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. Everyone get, you know that feeling. It never goes away.
I hope it does. - No, no, no. - Yeah. You probably get to a place where you're like, you know, it's like, I still have it in me, it might not be, like, it will, it might balance.
- I know when my speed, because my speed is really what I, my number one attribute in like, if my speed kind of starts coming down,
“like, that's what I need to exit the game.”
- Yeah. - But we have such a cool gym, Tim owns the gym, 20 minutes from our house, we have a bunch of up-and-coming fighters, like, I still feel like-- - He's in Montana. - And Arizona. - Arizona, yeah.
So I still feel like I have a lot to give back to the MMA community in that sense, to help build up these young fighters. And I'll be around the sport, but I'm also obsessed with pickleball right now.
- I'm like, bro, I'm, I'm, go look at your good. - I'm decent for not playing very long. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - I'm building a pickleball court at my house now, and we've got to come out Monday to play the pad.
- Wow. - Oh, wow. - It's so cool, we can play it. Like, I think, I think, like, us together could beat you and your friends. - You have such a big hand. - You have such a big hand.
- You have such a big hand. - You have such a big hand. - I think there's a real chance. - I think there's a very good chance both of us together would beat you and your friends. - Why do you think you're better than pickleball?
- I think you're better than pickleball. - Yeah, why do you think? - You guys, I know. - No answer that. - He's so athletic, he's so athletic. - He's got such a good height. - No. - No, you're decent a pickleball?
- Yeah, yeah, where do you, I think we,
first off, you're talking to a two-year tennis camp.
- Yeah. - Okay, that changes. - It's a bourbon Philadelphia. - Okay, that changes a little bit. - Brother was a division one, tennis player. - My group and a tennis family. - Brother.
“- Yeah, that's how I mean, that can't help.”
- I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm 100% sure. Like, me and Dave together on a team with three. - Best of three. - Would beat most normal people. - I don't think it's a normal person. - I know. - I'm not great at pickleball. - He's a normal person.
- He's a normal person. - He's a normal person. - But put it into perspective. - Yeah. - My friend, my friend was 150, if best tennis player in the world. Okay, he was a professional tennis player. The best in, those are the best people in the world.
He's 150 in the world. He came and he played pickleball with us and he like sucked. And it's like, and then he was, and then he became, he became good and he's like a decent player. - No, he could be a good student. - Oh, yeah, if you want it,
you could be unbelievable. - Yeah, like, I like a, I like a one with a, I'm a thick boy. - A thick paddle, you know, like the brand, you know, like a specific brand. - No, no, my friend has a company, so. - God, if you were to set a name out of an ocean.
- Yeah, I don't know the brands, you're right. - I don't, I don't, I don't really know it, I don't know. - I do think, I do think, I do think, though, that's like, I think we'd, I think, I think you're thinking you're a lot better than what. - I just have had so many people come to, we own the pickleball courts.
We have four courts, right next to our gym. It's called the pickle dojo, it's fucking dope. And we've had so many people come in and say, "No, I'm good." And then we play with them on, like, bro, you just, you can barely hit over the net, like, I don't know why people think about that.
- No, I don't know why people think about that. - So that's what I must do. - Yeah, that's what I must do. - Yeah, that's what I must do. - Yeah, that's what I must do. - Yeah, that's what I must do. - Yeah, yeah, that's what I must do. - Yeah, that's what I must do. - We're not that good.
But we like, yes, we play sport, like, I work out four times a week, and I play basketball. - I just want to see your hand a little. - Where's the basketball? - I just said, I'm not a soccer player. - Where's your, no, it's different.
- You know where basketball, Jack? - I do make a click. - I'm in my room. - He's good at tennis. - I'm basketball. - It's not my room. I have unbelievable hand-eye coordination.
Like, I guarantee you you're better at basketball than me, probably.
- I'm both. - But I bet you're not a better shooter than me.
“Like, you know, I know that you're more athletic and every, like,”
combine version of three-point shot. - Yeah, I have a decent shot, but I'm more of like, a playmaker. I can, like, go for something. - You can get a playmaker. - See, I mean, it's like, that was planned on. - You know what time it is. - It really comes around every four years,
and it keeps on coming. - I know what you're talking about. - Soccer. - Or football. - Yep, but we're in America. And we're on Team USA, and we've got a lot of countries to what.
- Ooh, I'm not sure if that's who I would predict. - Really? - What? - I don't know. - I'm going for Spain. I got a cousin from Spain, so that's my place. - What about France? - And I love France, too. - Brazil?
- And I love Brazil. - This is what's wrong with this country. You can predict the outcome of the pro soccer championship games all the way to the end of the tournament with Fandle products. Side up and grab your $20 bonus on Fandle predicts
and ride this playoff journey with us. - Sorry, I was just a little excited. - I like that. - No CD. - It's so interesting that you guys are best friends,
and you both have OCD, like that must be nice. - It's nice that I have him, and we have each other, but it's a thing that is probably annoying to deal with if we're being honest. - Sometimes we call each other out on it.
- Like, when we're talking on FaceTime, if like one of us hangs up prematurely, we have to call the other one back. - Yes, sometimes we enable each other, but I will tell you, it's cool that this exists.
- No CD.
“- Because I remember, like, when I was younger,”
like, going to my friends or my family about it, and they think it's like a joke or something. - Yeah. - They don't really understand the nuances.
And no CD is amazing, and it's 100% virtual,
so you can do it anywhere you are in the world. There's no excuse. - There's one more about starting a CD. Therapy with no CD, go to no CD.com/friends and book a free call with their team.
That's no CD.com/friends. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know that. - I can do that. - Right, can. - Yeah, he actually can.
- Second, cocksucker. (laughs) - Yeah, maybe not right now. - Well, is that a mens ball though? - Yeah.
- No, no, he can. - Yeah, he can. - How's that one? - Why? Okay. - We go cocksucker.
(laughs) - I don't know if I can. I don't know if I can. - I don't know if I can. That sounds a little moist today.
You have a huge hands. - Okay, let me just see him drink. - I mean, this is good enough. - That's pretty good. - I just want to watch him dribble.
It's good enough. - And check him out. - Outside. - Give me the ball, check. - You want me to move the rod?
- I gotta watch it. - I just gotta see it. - Okay, okay. - Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, >> Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it
- No, it's just one of those bands. When you're moving, there's just a certain, like there's a certain thing people, when you ball, there's just like a certain way, you just dribble it, and that's it.
- So you could beat me one-on-one. - No, I'm not saying to beat you, you're so strong. - No, I wouldn't need to be a strength of the win. - I'd have to see your real. - Probably such a good defender.
- Defender offense, just to see your real. - No, he's honest with you. - I'll be honest with you all. - At this point, especially in my life, the player that I am today, you have a better impact
on the game than me for sure, all around defensively. - But just more than just shooting. Offensively, I'm, I can do it better. - I'll contribute to a team more. - Oh, holistically, offensively, and I probably,
clubhouse as well, I would probably contribute a little more. I'm a great leader. I hit all the big shots you need me to get. - It's like coach, you're a better, you're a better, you're a better shooting guard than point guard.
- Yeah, much better shooting guard, you're a better defender. - He's a very good, my favoring team. - I mean, you're probably actually good at shooting. - My favorite is when we're on the same team, and I get to be the point guard,
and he gets to be the shooting guard. He's one, he's your favorite shooting guard to have. When you're playing a game, he's your favorite shooting guard to have because he can pass, but he can also create a shot as well.
- Let me ask you a question. You know, he played games up to 11, three is your worst two. Have you ever scored all 11 points in the game, the 5, and 5 game?
I don't have like four times problem. - I guess, yeah, I mean, I can't say that half. - And I'm not even not kind of player, but it's very common in those games up to 11, that I'll have eight, I'll have six,
I'll never have like, you're that guy.
- Just one, I just, I'm a really great score. - I'm so annoying on defense. You just hate me, I'm there. Like I might do the thing when it's time to like check the ball. I get off my man, and I'm just going at the other guy.
I'm very annoying. - You're okay, I think. - I'll open the door, I'll check it out the, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - Are there rules, are there rules?
“We're like, I remember one time at basketball player,”
in the NBA, Jimmy or Nelson, came to my overnight camp, and he couldn't really even play, because in his contract, he was like, are there rules that were that you from playing,
pick up basketball or anything like that? - We're independent contractors, technically,
We can really do whatever the fuck we want.
- Yeah. - Other than fight for different promotions, we get wrestle, we can do Jiu-Jitsu, we cannot box further promotions, but we can, we can ball, we can skydatt,
there's nothing saying we can. - Is there a fighter's union? - No.
“- But do you feel like their desperately needs to be?”
- I don't even really know what that means. - That means that I think, and I don't even know either, but like you're saying we're independent contractors, the guns for hire right now,
but all these other professional sports have unions that really protect, because it's making so much money, and not to put Dana on the spot. I hear things being talked about a little bit here
in there, and I was just really behind me to talk about, yeah, so. - I'm lucky, I'm in the 1% of people that are actually making money. - Yeah.
- And I feel like I earned it. I got to where I'm at. I fought for the 12 and 12, the 2020, I fought for those, like, to get to where I'm at. But it's hard, I get UFC's perspective, sometimes too,
it's like these guys that are first fighting UFC,
they have like no one knows who they are. - Yeah. - Like there's no one that's tuning into the fight to watch them fight specifically, and they want to make $150,000 to fight with,
it's like, but so I get business side of UFC, I also get the fighter side because I've been through it, and it's a brutal sport. - Did Dana wait, and he invented UFC? - He bought the UFC when it was going down.
- What was it going down? - Because it was just so frowned upon, it was illegal in most states, most people were like, you're gonna watch two guys fight in a cage, like there wasn't, like, this popular thing.
- And then how do you change it? - He took a market money at it. - Through a lot of money at it, and then built this reality TV show around it, called the ultimate fighter.
- Yeah, yeah. - And that's kind of what Mark is doing. - How much the game didn't change, right? Like, it's still, it's just people change their perception of the game? - 100%.
“- Dana, I think, is one of the biggest marketing”
geniuses of all time. - Yes. - I have no idea what the answer to this is, was Joe Rogan, a part of any of the marketing genius of the start of UFC.
- He was a, so Joe, first, started the commentator.
- Yeah, well, when he first started, and then he first started, worked for the UFC, did it for free. Early 2000s, late 1999, whatever it was. And he was, like, interviewing fighters backstage,
and he did it for Freaks, he was loved with the sport. - Yeah. - And then he started commentating, and I don't think he, I think people really enjoyed his commentary on it, because he was a kind of explaining
what was happening. And so I think he had an impact in that sense. I don't know about marketing, through the podcast. - Joe Rogan, he did like kickboxing. - You actually worked with him?
- No, he's old. - He's like 60. - Yeah, I was like, just for fun. - He did take one, don't he was younger? - Yeah.
- And then he, I think he has a Black Belt and Jiu Jitsu. - Like, just like, no. - But like, just as, like, does he, like, love you? - I've, I've thought it was podcast three times, but I think he, I mean, I,
- Well, yeah, I swear to you right. - To see love you, that, I don't know. - You know what's funny about that is, I fucking love you Joe Rogan. - Oh.
- Like, there's like six fights in a row where I did that. - Oh, right.
- Because I'm gonna broke my foot in my second fight.
I was laying on the ground after the fight. And he came over to me and interviewed me while I was laying on the ground when I was broken. And I was like, I fucking love you Joe Rogan. - I was kind of started this thing.
So it's funny you ask if he loves me. I don't know. I love him. - I love you Joe. - I think he did say, I love you, too, man.
One time. - Yeah, you're worried that you might have said a too much to him right now. - He's like, all right, he's just like, okay. - Which is funny. - When you're training for a fight,
do you like, like, you know, so who's the guy, who's the guy you're about to fight? What's his name again? What's the guy's name? - He's a hobby.
- He's from Canada. - I can't say that. - I can't say that. - Are you thinking, you're thinking about his fate. Like how many, you're thinking of his face every day, right?
Like you're picturing him when you're training. You're like picturing him. Like you really, in a sense, there's, there's a little bit, not, not fully. - You're not waking up thinking about this guy,
like just subtly in the back of your mind, man, that's also on the other side of the world training for the same event where he's supposed to meet up with you and beat the fuck out of you. - To an extent, yeah.
- Like there's, there you find motivation, you find some inspiration from thinking of like, okay, it's my focus training, but it's like just focusing
“on yourself and doing what you need to do.”
Each session is, I get more out of that than thinking about what he's doing or thinking about him at all. But I've been pretty, I, and I don't know if it's, I had a lot of fights, but there's even still people that at the highest level, freaked themselves out.
They don't even want to know about their fight for six weeks. - Really? Do you want to know what it's like? - Do you think you need, like, do you need social media so you can like antagonize the guys,
like, don't they antagonize, there's so much, you know, who's actually done really good at that as Jake Paul? - Yeah. - In the bottom of the stuff. - He's like, he's been very kind of like,
making fun of people in a sense, like building these fights, hype in these fights up. - But you're not that type of guy. - I, I did a little bit, and earlier on in my career, but lately it's like, it's so weird I've been off social media
for a year and a half almost now and it's like, I don't think about, and I hate actually don't like this about myself. I used to think about creating content more, and I really do enjoy creating content.
We still create it, but I'm not thinking about it nearly as much 'cause I'm never on it. I don't see anything, but I, and I feel like I used to, looking back at my old social media when I was coming up,
I was motivated by money and like fame when I didn't have it.
And I was able to create this content that I feel like built my brand. And now that I'm not on social,
“I feel like I'm not creating that same content.”
I kind of feel guilty in a sense, but I'm also like, not being off social is such a different level piece of mind. - Yes. - I don't have the anxiety you get just like surfing.
It's like, you never feel fucking good when you're on your phones.
- Yeah. - You don't feel good. - And Parisian is the perfect judge. - And Parisian is the perfect judge. - And Parisian.

“- And then I look at the back and I think--”
