3:07 Well, Kevin Ross is the only guy that I've ever seen hide it. pain tough to do It's not the real art. with like some of the man I wish they would points come from And to have rules that take away grappling, take away clinch work, makes no sense to me. I just had this lesson with my students the other night. and nullified the attack. And all the Thais are like,

They say kap kun krab. they all stretch everything out everything is like oh i go with you now yeah where you go mister There's no getting around the fight game. like do we really have to be naked and the tie is like yeah you got to get down bro and i was like I had family, I had friends, I was very much connected. You know, it was old school, Sicilian family, Boston base, you know, deep roots.

Yeah. So the end of all, you know, the car, at the car.

13:51 I'd kill myself. to be intelligent the history of like you got the gracie uh gracie baja contingent up there you know half gracie And he went outside and someone murdered him. There it is. Yeah. He was a great fighter, man. And Fairtex. Who was the other guy? What was the smaller guy, Ganyao? Yeah. Johnson on Fairtex and Fairtex. And they were kicking ass, dude.

16:45 Yeah. Yeah, exactly. with Dana Rosenblatt, Joe Lake. Remember that whole crew? I started training with Joe Lake That's right. That's right. He stopped Terry Norris. I know exactly who you're talking about. things that i've said about uh one of the things that i learned from my kickboxing training was And I remember literally my coach setting me up for sparring at a boxing club.

19:53 it like felt like a fight. Remember that? Thailand and he had done some training over there and come back and and that's when I realized like You just had this real and so I had the same reality check. Yeah, so Never felt pain like that before. We sold some fighters and some trainers to a friend of Sittiatong's. Because I'm retarded, dude. But it's an honor.

22:59 Dude, I'll take the kicks all day long on the thigh now, man. And I was blocking wrong. Dude, it was a rough flight. Like it was awesome great lots of pain medication for that flight but Benson Henderson? dude i said it i said man you know just a quick tip like a little fun fact you know benson henderson's It just seems awful. And you can't condition it.

25:51 It's actually illegal in some commissions, right? Yeah. That oblique style is very interesting. I appreciate it. that stops them like the worst thing you could ever do with a fighter is give them something from the hips. That's actually a good impression. You know who does that oblique kick fucking better than anybody? successful as he could have been or should have been.

29:01 the best left hook the world's ever known Great fights over at Cage Rage. And Anderson was just taking it on the chin. And George is throwing vicious uppercuts. And then over George's shoulder, I see Anderson's face and he's laughing at George. guys so i knew anderson silva a lot of people like oh is this guy anderson silva he's coming over a Yeah, I knew him too, man.

31:28 primarily and he had a ground game and he was on top at the time i mean he was he was way on top yeah man i love it cage cage rage was an interesting place because there was a that Do you remember when he got stabbed in the heart in a knife fight and he was one of the head guys way back in the early days. The only time I didn't want the plug. He had a rough upbringing with his family.

34:38 because this guy like go large on that again yeah there's another one the proportions are off He's got the Mandalay Bay logo. His quads are yoked up, though. I make you tan. Yeah. Pounds. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Come catch me now. It's my hotel. It just goes behind the counter. Yeah. He hit him with the tips of his fingers. Credit card? No, probably not.

38:35 shin bones, breaking arms. I think he Yeah, Felder did with the spinning backfist. Dude, that was your shit. I just knew that it was such a short amount of time that I needed to deliver it. It's not fun holding pads for you. dude. Just my fingers wouldn't function, That's not even some spin shit that you do. What were the numbers on it? Something silly like.

40:46 Yeah, I see it with the shin. I got to hit it with the instant like one of the most risk-taking elite fighters you'll ever see. They don't want to see conservatives trying to, he's a fan favorite for sure. you know, fighters only backstage. And one of the examples he would use is Chris Lytle. That was the message, but the idea was don't leave it out there.

42:46 It means a lot because I love to watch it. If you're doing jujitsu, there's a correct way to do an arm bar counter, right? Don't do that. job, wasn't dedicate myself to this full time. getting hit he's running at you and not getting hit I mean he's coming He's a great fighter. and really fucked Brian's leg up. right time, all the time. And that line of fire you know we're we're jockeying for that

46:12 like brawling recklessly coming in against somebody skilled as Anderson Silva Patrick Cote. He spent that entire camp in Boston with me. And I said, Patrick, I'm telling you, you can't fight the way you normally fight against Anderson Silva. And that was actually the first time we took Anderson past a third round. he had an issue. We knew going into it.

47:50 Bring up that fight, Jamie. Be curious to see it. That was before. Nine? Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, see? That was a while ago yeah wow man that was the rain that was when Yeah. It's funny. Like his head would like fucking gadget head, Like he's going to put his face, like he's he's gonna cover distance quickly like he moves his head like Nope. Chris Lieben versus Phil Barone.

50:12 No. Lieben. Yeah, yeah, yeah. putting Lieben in jeopardy I mean he was damaging that leg say Lieben I said it again said it again like, come on, stand up with me. he break dancing and shit like i remember there was a couple fights well the fight with damien Yeah. It might've been the Damian Maya. And that's when he got caught with the spinning elbow.

52:22 Yeah. I worked with Stefan for a bunch of fights. top and they grab and he's like bro you fucking stink you shit yourself and he's like yes i did I was like, bro, bad idea. Yeah, I think he sharted one of his fights, too. Yeah, man. Why didn't they just let him go? the format, fucking schedule, whatever it is. But see, Anderson was just moving around, real relaxed, didn't do much.

54:49 when he was kicking it look he just he's like no no no no no no i think this is his knee was already and he was fighting for the title yep yeah that was the main event title fight patrick was always dangerous he He tried to lift his front foot up, almost like to fake a front kick. Yeah. Was it a meniscus issue? Like I remember he had staph in his knee like a bunch of times.

56:41 It's not like he didn't look like a strong guy. he's not doing that stem cell shit you're talking about huh no he hasn't i think he did something How many guys have had artificial discs put in their necks and in their backs? God damn it, he's 30. These guys are, Like, what? He's got one in his lower back. What? God damn it. In jiu-jitsu, it's neck and lower back.

58:44 lower back and the mid. Exactly. Is that the inversion? Okay, I've seen them. he'll get a chance to see what it is. going up, it's strengthening her back, together, it's uniquely good for, uniquely effective for strengthening and rehabilitating lower back issues. disc and that's how he figured it out but it's now like universally praised has been one of the as being one of the best exercises to prevent injury but more importantly to rehabilitate you

1:01:25 And you could push on the handles and give yourself some separation. it's a thing that you put on your chin and I put it on a, Same concept. like that always shooting that single shoot that double grabbing and palming the back of your head Really? my trainer and I was like, how do I make my neck stronger? And he took me over to this coffee can cups like disposable cups there was a plastic cup with a string tied to it oh and people would just

1:04:04 had a bandaid on it and I was clinching with one of my training partners thai guy and they you know they're laying on the ground doing sit-ups and push-ups and all that bullshit Oh, my God. wrong with your skin i was like bro that's like that's like the he be gbs that's like the matt Like the padded wall? Like, I still got it. I made everybody get tea tree and eucalyptus soap.

1:06:29 And that medication-resistant staph infection, that scares the shit out of me. like what literally looks like a wick And was it medicated? I think, kicks your ass, antibiotics on top of it forget about it i remember when we called that fight you called that fight It's funny too because I don't think the commission that's right that's right yeah suzy touched it up a little bit which is hilarious she's complicit

1:09:12 and you saw Kevin get Tony down. Dude, Kevin Lee is a monster. He's a serious threat. He's that young? 25. In a month, he's 26? Like, ooh, that's a good point. Yeah. Is that what it was? Oh, my God. It's like 80 staples. he's running around, uh, It was, like, one show a long time ago. He was a couple of days out. It was like UFC 13 or 14 or some shit.

We're coming into the MGM in the back of the arena. Like a busted, like, Nevada plate. The UFC bought. Talk about profit on return of investment. And they were trying to sell the UFC.

1:16:11 Glad he did. It's not an easy company to run, I can imagine. but I ended up just, because we got off the plane. I'm sorry, Abu Dhabi, And I looked and I told him, I was like, I need an assistant to go with me. open the box and there's a phone he goes the, the phone will ring when he needs you. And I was like, what the fuck is this? oh, I get it, fucking Twin Towers.

Henzo's still getting at it, huh? that trip you see that puts a hook in yeah and butterflies the Yeah, exactly. They have Gabby Garcia fight old housewives. He's the heavyweight champ. His neck starts at the top of his head. let's see if you can find a video of him fighting because he looks like a fucking gorilla now what

Like J-E-B. man bum while he sleeps he's teaching me how to how to read and write you know i i can speak All right. Right. I'm asking you a question. Bye. Dude, that's, that's the crash course of

1:29:26 That's why I teach all my students at Crash Course, bro, Thai-glish. You just say it. there was less tourists, you know. Like a lot of Russians go there with big Russian money, you know. Well, it's a lot of, a lot of Europeans vacation in Thailand too. now Russians. in the fucking man thong Why is it worse if it's a 14-year-old boy versus a 14-year-old girl?

1:32:11 It's probably less scarring if that's what he's into. you get more touristy, you get more freak shows. Like that's it. They use the elephants in, dropping spears on them. Yeah, there you go. come towards you on elephants dude a giant fucking horse like coming at me is one thing It's like, this thing doesn't want me to ride it. Yeah, I found something the other day when we were talking about something, and I stumbled across another article that said there were camels in the West, and they used them to travel and carry things to help develop the West.

1:34:54 Yeah, people were just shooting them on sight We got trains, dude. like whoa that's a crazy animal yeah man it's got a serious presence being around and these dudes In war. He's got a machine gun. A.50 cal. Look at this thing. See? It's like Braveheart. That's the thing, yeah. Huh. from ringworm and all that jazz in terms of the fighters yeah perhaps because they eat such spicy

1:38:11 Yeah, I love spicy food. And they didn't. Like, no, no, no, no, no. but he didn't know any better. the bed, it wasn't food poisoning no no it was just the spices just kicked his ass so so bad he probably You know it's bad when it soaks through the mattress. have to live like a fucking bum you know i was like all right why what's money he's like man

1:40:46 Shake them out. I don't know if you're familiar, but they have a truck tire. walking out of the room and he grabs a pair of gloves and they usually put the laces over the And I was like, a bird eating? like shaking scorpions out of your out of your sneakers and stuff you want to know something motherfucker how gangster is that that he grabbed it by the tail tail poking out from behind a box

1:43:17 plain and simple. In fact, dog poop is said to He pissed outside and he accidentally pissed in my gym. That is fucked up. Right? one of the actors like a huge attitude like they're terriers Horrific. We were fucking parked at a parking garage on the 4th of July. He's like, Mom, look at that. They're so gross. They're good for cleaning up dog shit. But the documentary on Netflix is brilliant.

1:46:06 Yeah, exactly. They're survivor cats, big, the triangle tails, like nasty. They're survivor rats, rather. All the time. You know what I mean? Like, I love Colorado. It's fine. That's the other thing. Just a dull gray blanket. Boston in the summer, I love Boston in the summer. Boston in the summer is cool. Possibly. If I was going to hire a Muay Thai coach.

1:49:01 Yeah. to the the evil dick of vegas you know it's all like all the jizz comes out of the evil dick and that's what powers sad to see, man. Vegas is Vegas has some of the best restaurants. like just to like operate like from from uh sunset like sundown like to sun up like and then sleep As if it's going to give us structure and teach us lessons. So when you get to it it that's when people are like

1:51:53 I like betting fights. Yes. Really? That was a crazy head kick. Bring that up real quick, Jamie. That's how he caught him. He's a stud, you know? Who's there? He's going to commit to having a fight with one of them and then go through a full camp Those guys are super professional. Yeah. Just the knockout itself, the finish. Saul and Rodrigo. He changes speed in the kick.

1:55:07 It's kind of like... Did he bonus for this fight? Everyone's trying to win. I don't think, especially since they haven't dealt well at all with the judging issue. I think the judging system itself, the 10-point must system is outdated. There's so much incompetence. Yeah, and at their level, the pay scale, it's just like they're already making fucking peanuts.

1:56:57 it's a cool job there are some judges that that do know what they're doing so they're not there's But I don't like the win bonus thing, man. It's good for that night, the views, the way the people are watching. sometimes man seeing these guys take the damage they do you know i remember like i told you i Whoa. I was like, that's fucking trippy, dude.

1:59:19 earlier to bring it all back around jeremy spars hard hard. I was talking to Jocko about it. No, not good. It's still, there's residual there. because he hit his head in the car crash and he was susceptible he was vulnerable to the ko because Yeah, I was just going to say, that boy can't fight. I didn't see that coming. I was like, I was like, And I was like,

2:02:16 He has, man. it's so funny that a red hat with white letters can get you punched now i mean it could say It's gone so crazy. We got to get to the weigh-ins. Facebook.
