Transcript

0:00 Three, two, one, boom! I slept four hours per night. They were feeding me lines. I couldn't do it anymore. I had some lines, two lines to remember. They were feeding me lines. I throw out my gloves. Old school karate days, I would always recommend that you punch like this. Yeah, it was just one of those stupid things. Everything was good. that I hit something. I mean, how old

2:31 Try to defuse it. And then because he did it for such a long time, yeah, then I'll make sure that. And I don't think it's a healthy boss either. I need bacteriostatic water for it. I'm going to try it locally here on the biceps, see what it does as soon as I have the water. That's a lot better than it used to be, though. Pat's disc had deteriorated so badly that his discs fused themselves.

4:24 Very stiff. and wrestling. Wrestlers are all fucked up. Oh, that sucks. Yeah, well, it looks. And he was sitting first row. What happened? It looks like his arms should be as big as his fucking legs. He can't do this. has that too? 10 disc fusion. Oh, 10-disc fusion. How many do you think are in there, Jamie? I couldn't do that at the time. For me, I can't do it anymore.

8:04 She's got like two or three fusions they're going to need to do. But she's going to have to do the lower back she's got like two or three fusions Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt with a fucked up neck which is really a shame But now they realize areas. I did it two weeks ago for See? What is that guy doing these days? That guy was a fucking character.

10:08 see, he can do it, I can do this. And no black belt. I've seen this guy throw around like 130, 155 pound kettlebells. He's a big contender in Bellator. Girls have got, I don't want to mention any't mention any names wink wink but we've seen it girls have had no boobs and all of a sudden they had boobs Right. Like a lumbar pad. He can work as a lumberjack.

12:06 Knocked out Mitrione. I do not remember that fight. Almost knocked out Overeem. Yeah. I'm not bullshitting. So you drop down 50 pounds. he had actually the best Look at him. Man, he is so funny. you know of Butterbean he broke the rule, though. It's a great idea. You know, you can use it to put yourself to improve in the fight. They wanted to stay away from uppercuts,

15:30 too complicated. Well, this has been around It's almost like a movie. It's like a movie. the cage to get back up if somebody takes you like, oh, you can throw guys? You can throw, and then Why only five seconds? Bitcoin logo yes Bitcoin is one of their sponsors really yep Bitcoin blowing up Well, the UFC has above the knee. Well, also, you can't condition the lower leg the same way you can condition the upper leg.

18:12 That's when something breaks, if you can't flex. It's the first one, whoever does that, it's biometric, nutrition, training. They wear these little tiny things so you can see how fast they hit Yeah, there's a lot of padding. Which is an issue with the UFC, is the constant poking. So, sometimes you have to think, is this on purpose You've said that before.

20:08 It's like a small amount of boxing glove. It's a long hook. So you're not punching with the knuckles. You're going to have very close. Like if you're in close, you can't throw a short hook? I always tell my students. I step backwards I get it, but a left hook, like a tight hook of a guy's right there and bam. of course, that's a problem. He's going to lose.

22:09 They have a guy who's repeating it like three, four, five times in a row. I mean, everybody knows how to throw hooks and uppercuts. And I think this is perfect. But that would be below the neck, then. Yeah, because Taekwondo, they took it out as well, right? Talk to these people. flash come text me text me see what happens i do that on purpose i keep my phone flat on purpose

23:58 It's a great punch. You can throw everything. they'll listen to you boss how do they not have low kicks fuck yeah Yeah, those were the guys. to have the first show, Where were these Free to watch? Boom. There's a whole bunch of guys together, a lot of karate experts as well. why is not anybody And I thought that I truly believe it's sports in America, like you got boxing and then nobody pays attention to the other shit. I mean,

26:34 this is, the people are asking But not enough people watch it. and you see Jamal Ben-Siddiq, that fight, holy shit. I mean, that was an amazing fight. Super smart also. You think of the amount of experience he has already. Today he turns 29. Happy birthday, people can see the technique better. It's not separated so that people can see the technique better.

28:40 Oh, please, go. Yeah. You remember when Shane Carwin fought Frank Mir and tied him up and just obliterated him with uppercuts? It's not like he pulls him to the knee and he gets kneed in the face. and just start punching him in the face, Floyd's fucked. Now, if they just have MMA fight with boxing gloves, or a boxing fight with MMA gloves, rather, that is a different thing.

30:50 and punch from the clinch. I mean, there's only a few things. This is not like So Mayweather can start attacking him. That's true. somebody say it's annoying no With reading about it all to get all the terms back. You're just messing with me. Yeah. What a great domain name, by the way, as well, right? Check it out. Jiu-Jitsu.com. That's a lot of money.

33:38 What is this, Jamie? Buying domain names. Something crazy? That doesn't even make any sense. Fuck off. Yeah, you're an idiot. So where did this originate? No, no, no. Vic, yeah. And we pulled it off right away, so that's why we met Is that what it was? So we do the commentary right over it, live. If that delay is five seconds or ten seconds, We did the first 10, I believe, Pride shows.

37:01 started suddenly I'm watching a fight and I hear, and I look to the side, but then we did on top of that, Yeah, there's some guys in the UFC that when I read their names at the weigh-ins, It's Bas Rutten. your mother call you? Mauro always called him Fyodor. You know, he's a good guy. And everybody steps away and just looks at him. He's doing Showtime Boxing.

39:18 I think so. I got him a gig at the UFC. He's fucking excellent. That is so cool. That's what happened Well, that's why me and Goldberg worked so well for so long, because we're so tight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a completely different animal. Our job of doing color, we see the fight, we call it. Oh, he's going to get the triangle. You got to introduce monster energy drink and they're stepping into the monster prep

41:42 you do football so what do you mean he says he could be the best guy I've ever heard. But they learn. And they leave it. Are you still doing it for, it used to be World Combat League. That's nice, and so they still have John Oh really? Obviously, they have Rory McDonald. I wonder if he knew. John Fitch signs with Bellator Yeah it was I know shit Dude, I had a poster of you from the first time you fought in the UFC.

44:10 They forgot a word. What a time that was. Someone said something about me talking shit about John Peretti, Right? he wanted to say. He doesn't When ever did I do that? It was in, I think, 99, something around that time. if I have the referee, everybody's going to come of skills. Don't go too The big guy on bottom jumps Okay, we restart the fight. Dude, he takes that guy down.

47:17 Bong, bong. Yeah. And I think Matt. Kenny Monday. He was an animal. Yeah. He was was there. Was that him? Zinoviev in that one, too? Zinoviev was a... He was the guy who tapped Mario Osperi. I know him like this. Because back then, these wrestlers thought that just be... Baba Booey! They go at it So he just drops down on purpose. Toeholds. That was both.

50:18 He said to me. The olden days. Edward was there. they lock the doors DJ comes on he says okay they're gone we can fight ladies and gentlemen And he's raining down straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight. The old days. there was a lot of great Thai boxers back then, of course. There was a few guys that had, you know, Remember, I remember Kent telling me about the event.

53:05 and say, Why did they think that? who was like a ninjitsu guy? they had the preparation reels they showed how they're preparing. He's like, throwing guys out, hitting them with all this crazy shit. Like in his, you know, they had the preparation reels. Elbowed his face. He said, why? I don't like to die. They turned his back to him. So that's why we didn't

54:35 someone's going to die. from Gerard Godot. Powerful guy. I think they fought a whole bunch of times. to the top. Yeah, if you're just getting into Muay Thai now and you're just hearing about it the fucking day we Italian Armenians are fucking crazy man Technical Right? Because Armenian Would you think Okay I'm gonna go in here I'm gonna get you But he, okay, but the Italian side of him made him very calculated. Technical.

56:35 Something insane. I mean, his technique was flawless. He's moving while he is punching. Like Giorgio Petrosian. Well, it was not a Dutch guy, right? Yeah, Ristie's a beast. Andy Ristie can crack, too. and ristie's who is a great fighter in his own but risty's a guy who's really good for a couple Yeah, it was a little love tap. Left hand. It didn't even look like that big of a shot.

59:41 Fucking A. Yeah. oh KO you know his father but dude the guy And go in for the kill. because with, are going to watch his ribbon. of Robin Von Mooseballen? You go somewhere and say, what do you think about Conor McGregor? They were going to do that for a while. But now I doubt they would do that because they spent so much money to buy the UFC. That's the same as with a new Bond movie.

1:02:12 I'm the original. They switch the name. I'm like, I'm not in competition. It's good for everybody. that's what I wish the whole deal otherwise have two because Thai boxing no shit. that would be Well, he's, I mean, he's obviously very good at all aspects of fighting, but he's, you know, now he can't use one of his best weapons. And just headbutt the shit out of you.

1:04:19 No. If they load up, that's the fun part, right? I would think that he will be distracted for a moment. Not a fight show. I fucked it up at the weigh-ins. He's fucking phenomenal. They just create animals. never gave up, never quit, and then at the end of the fight, Oh, this is the show and some highlights. He might have one loss maybe early in his career.

1:06:44 Bokniak is getting his ass kicked the whole fight. Never saw, look at this, the end, The only time during the whole night I stood up My is that beat look at try saying that name look at show pull that man. Okay, is that beat the Magomed? Yeah, yeah, yeah. God damn it. Who's another animal Yeah at 11-1 he's an interesting guy too We thought of them as like a chain.

1:09:45 Crazy. Because if he's flexible in his neck. Everybody's a yes-sayer. He can't go anywhere. Yeah, but let's look at it this way. injury. Michael Chiesa Imagine if Conor was on the bus and Ray Borg threw a fucking thing. You know, what I was afraid of is that somebody's going to assume, just like happened with Russell and he had to give him drinking a margarita.

1:12:19 You gotta blow my Yeah, and it's all gone now Imagine if it was Ray Borg I'm just saying, I'm looking at not Conor McGregor. Watch the picture. For sure. who already filed a lawsuit against him, could sue for emotional damage. Oh, yeah. So those two were caught. Everybody else on the bus, every other fighter on the bus could sue for emotional damage.

1:13:55 You know, I do like that he, at least because when he talked to Dana, he didn't apologize, But, you know, to give him all hell, He's going to have to pay. Okay, let's say he's got $30 million left. million here. This is going to cost him a few million. but if he gets convicted and they wind up putting him in jail, It comes from the Mayweather fight.

1:15:59 In the clinch, do it with knees. He'll take his legs out. Yeah. The next thing you know, Yeah, but that's what I mean. Is that the craziest leg you've ever seen? Uriah Faber is a goddamn animal The end of the fight, yeah. And that is pain at that moment, the next day. They get hit with that low leg kick and then their nerves just stop working right.

1:18:51 I shouldn't have taken off the glove. I mean. They were big, though, but it was cool. Yeah. Every time you do a foul, whether it's an eye poke or a low kick to the nuts, you get a point taken away. Just get rid of them. I don't think there's a benefit in the cage. I think The area that, you know, yeah so you can't get away you can't run away no like it's not you run out into

1:21:45 Shoot? Did he call it Shootbox? Frank Shamrock had something that he did. Shoot? That was something like that, yeah. I forgot about that one! Didn't a couple MMA fighters X-arm? in order, you know, This is so. Your arm is somehow tied. Yeah, you should. Do you win by... He's on to something. Wait a minute. That guy in the audience. He should, just in case blood comes spraying into his eye.

1:24:43 I forgot about this. I did it to a training partner one time. And he said, He did go. give you an extra day rest anyway already you're losing So you know that I hit him with a loose neck, so to say. There was no movement whatsoever. Oh, Jesus. No, no, no. So if you wake up in the morning and you smoke a bong and you do that all day long and you exemption. I mean, when people think about

1:27:38 but there were also they they said it was a lot of you know it was not as bad as what they let the prisoners know, of course. It's a hard one. Back then, they didn't have no database. I got three. Really? Yeah, when I was a kid. That's right. Which one was The Rock? Yeah. Sean Connery. Sometimes they don't listen. So I don't think anybody definitely escaped and made it across the ocean.

1:30:27 They might be still alive. Probably drowned. that's insane the money proceeds oink oink, oink. I saw that. know that would be in my mind you know he would correct himself every time yeah How do you get to a spot like that? Well. For fights, I think eye pokes. Boom, do it one time. I think actually it's a good idea for fights, yeah. For fights, I think eye pokes.

1:32:41 Then he winds up getting beaten up and stopped. Because that guy can't see now. He's like looking I can't see anything. It's strong style, sometimes. They were saying that I'm somehow or another diminishing their thing. they're amazing guys 20, 30 shows Can you imagine? Stone Cold Steve Austin eating raw potatoes because he had no more money. I don't know.

1:35:17 Remember how big he got holy shit. He got big. Yeah, he's like 260 pounds. I think you yeah Very injury-prone, man, because it's constantly, constantly, it's really amazing. Sons of Anarchy, right? about serial killers, right? Yeah, yeah. But, It's just very thin. You should be able So I'm busy. you should really practice that. So Kenny says to me,

1:37:22 I don't even remember me saying this. was funny to say because they're in the bikinis right yeah same feminist they just don't say it you know what I would do Derek Lewis knocked out her boyfriend. and Rhonda's face I like it Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know, but everything is good. Oh, February 21st. Alright, well, he ain't Yeah, they did it streaming out heat.

1:40:32 liquid completely clear not one little sliver of slime or whatever in it completely clear like he filled up with serious antibiotics I was acting like after they gave me over. Staph infection scares the shit Oh, yeah. Yeah. and i noticed him walking around the pool table he's limping and i go what's going on with you And he pulls his pants leg up. I go, you have a real bad staph infection.

1:42:54 You want to go to the hospital right now? started going up on his body, like towards the heart. Didn't treat it. I can feel it in your fingers. What do you think about all that? Every product that you take as a professional athlete is your responsibility. that's not the case, as a manager brought a product. I said, that's the first guy who actually does that. Unfortunately, I was very happy with Joel Romero when he brought a product.

1:45:16 And he found it also? and a lot of it comes from they take the same vats in you know China wherever Yeah, it definitely can be. Wait a minute. That's just crazy. They did the California hearing, but I think the Nevada State Athletic Commission and USADA, just beat everybody, and then go out. Because if you look at right before that test, he tests negative.

1:47:27 But you see, this is where comes in play what he did before, and that's why he's getting penalized now. He can 100%. okay, now he can let it fly. I mean, and just, but isn't it funny how some of those guys that are so talented are also so self-destructive? 24-7 around you, out of the car and the woman Yeah, ever. Right. Don't do that. You know, now it's in my head.

1:50:01 Yeah, I do. I loved that show. It was great. Yeah, but then also do it every day. Yeah. We're waiting, first of all, for the Kevin Can Wait. Yeah, well, I'm a regular on the show, but not a regular of the show. Yeah, the crazy guy, Rutger from Holland. because that was filmed Friday nights four shows in the first season I believe against George Gross

1:52:33 I said, no, I'll did all that. Everybody's happy. Fear Factor? Almost got into a fight. is you're dealing with all these wacky people yeah it's love it's it's a it's a great job man it really is like the funny yeah Every single line, you go, oh, my God, this comes back from that scene before. He just doesn't have enough stand-up specials out where people don't appreciate how good he really is.

1:54:15 I think so, too. Back in, like, fucking 1993 or some shit. So that was cool. That is cool. Yeah. Kevin used to watch all that shit with me. We used to watch Pancrase in the early k1 fights and everything So all these extras are there. everybody says that I can't do it. And I was training him, I remember coming home and telling my, she says, and I said, man, he's hitting, what he's doing. The very first time I was training him, I remember coming home

1:56:12 I mean, I've known that guy forever. For free. And if you have any, you know, contact these people. Well, I'm seeing a lot of six-packs, so I'm very impressed already. Bye.
