We need more Bellators. It used to be World Series of Fighting. they started getting involved in MMA Golden Boy tried many years ago, atensio that's hilarious yeah back in the day son yeah donald trump and tim sylvia that's hilarious

11:01 get rid of this you know this is that's his thing that's his baby man he loves it man yeah and dan's also a tough motherfucker bro i've rolled with him back in the I don't think nobody's just sheer numbers. You're a 135er, and back home you're the only 135er, game and sit through the whole thing you know not trying to dis football i just don't have that

13:14 Just being natural, enjoying this ride, the natural form, you know? it didn't show, but I'm you with it was a perfect straight left but you survived on the ground you survived in the ground like a while ago and then for this fight and i had stopped doing it you know because a lot of He's like, I'm telling you, the way he's moving, the way he's fighting with you, it's going to work.

15:17 i caught him i think maybe twice with that combo yeah man that's a big knockout that was a big Yeah. ending somebody i dropped numerous people but i never killed somebody stiff you know and at 70 i So it sucks, man. No, definitely. maybe even seven pounds 95, Yes. That seven pounds. That's what I'm saying. That's ridiculous. different titles they don't want it to be watered down but it's starting to be we got a bunch of

18:53 Everybody knows who DP is already, but this, I think, puts him in a special category. counts for laying dudes out at att not even joking i believe it yeah Yeah, 70 was a harsh cut for him. Yeah. Joel, too, is another guy. Scary dude, bro. He's the one that when he comes in the room, me, Joel, Hector, whoever's there that knows him, But man that guy could play any sport man

21:02 For a crime that he didn't commit And man What weight does he compete in? in the sport now. that we get the same caliber That's true. Lived this roller coaster long enough it's time to stop in anything you know martial arts because i was a very hyperactive individual, you know. But then in school, if I get in trouble with the grades or anything, and I was like, that's it, man.

24:04 I had already seen the UFC enough. And before the UFC ufc came out i was like i'm either gonna box or i'm The resurrection. with me i'll tell you every day that i'm in there i'm a nightmare you know and then i go home and But even more now, you know. I just want to fight. I'm fucked. Right, so you just So you can't force me on this social media stuff, you know.

26:39 freak athlete you know for for fighting yeah i uh i definitely got like a good uh sense of what's had access to the gym three four hours a day and it was like perfect you know it was the best thing gave me and also from the ass whoopings my mother used to give me because when the belt would come You seem more focused what's the heaviest you've ever gotten in between fights? It was recently. Right before I went on this reality show, I checked my weight.

29:25 We couldn't really get a matchup. He said, hey, I got this reality show. or this guy you know i'm like i've already been sitting out seven months nursing my injuries i'm already thinking yeah i'll fight All types of athletes were just mixed in there because one of the things is there's no cell phone, them in my life or not let me just eliminate that shit and that's it you know that's why we call it

31:52 And what a crazy goddamn division that is now. I just forgot his name right now. I don't know if he's staying up at 70 or he's doing, like, a one-time, He's a big guy. you know why the UFC while he's running That doesn't even make any sense. Beat Magnum, too. We'll probably just fucking whistle it in the window. attacks in the middle of the night they got things for high blood pressure they're pretty good they

34:54 That's it, man. like just go to a doctor one of those little pain management centers oh in florida yeah oh yeah i'm So I think when the rules came about legalizing medically marijuana, they said, we're not going to have plants because everybody's going to grow plants. Somebody giving me wax, and then you're if I'm going to smoke. Test things and find out what's pure and what's not.

36:56 I wouldn't know nothing about that. That's what they told me. No, I was trying to think of something. Who? Not one bit, no. Shut the fuck up because when Right. You know, And Ben immediately comes out, I'm Khabib's kryptonite. But when your sole purpose is just to hug somebody's leg as hard as you can, and then Herb Dean came on and talked about it, And I changed my mind again because Herb Dean was saying that what he was

40:02 And he saw a guy, him because he thought herb was going to stop it because he thought robbie was out and he thinks With the thumbs up? Did he do this? The guy's defending a choke. Maybe Robbie can't be put to sleep from there. my neck i was just tightening up my neck and and trying to to keep my blood flowing i think that I don't. a shitload of shit.

43:20 Great talent and stuff. or like butts in seats or any of that like i i one fc handles things because they concentrate on just fighters being honorable and fighting their best and fighting the best fighters they can fight. They fucking kill each other, you know? And it was beautiful. right pushing you to the forefront that i don't really like you know and just to think that the

45:48 Like he wanted to punch you And he's with his corner man And I say, maybe, maybe not. My daughter might be watching this interview. decision in your own country i knocked this dude out and you're trying to steal my shine like this Yeah, but it helped him more than anything. Before Rainbows had color, they already knew that, man. They didn't need to see me whooping to know that they know that but they like to see it Since before rainbows had color They already knew that man

47:53 Have consequences for shit talking I guess, man. He hasn't beaten a top ten guy yet. the fucking word go be the top 10 guy knock him the fuck out did you worry at all about getting From my pops and them I understand That's how scared I was I was fucking hell of in danger. It was one against like three or four dudes, and they know it. How many times have you fought in England before?

50:16 Did you? Weird, bad energy You know, even if they were Till there were till fans right oh my boy till's gonna get But England's different, man. That was wild shit. He's a tank. Yeah. And to have Kelvin head kick him and rock him how about creative and just has a broad encyclopedia of, first of all, striking knowledge. It was a serious fight, man. that's where everything's going to be i think the ufc just way ahead of it. Whereas most people are still at boxing matches and shit.

53:45 So they're doing a lot of streaming shit too. They're the ones who signed Canelo to that huge, huge deal. They signed Triple G. Yes. And then ESPN Plus is getting way ahead of it too. you don't have that you want to see the fights or if you come from the stone age like me and you Yeah, look at you. It's a good move. day all day every day if you look at him from a skill set, Ben's not even worth waking up before like 10 a.m. in the morning.

56:06 stop him that's what i'm gonna do man you know i just i don't like the dude at all i met him a That's just fucking training. two-time national champion you're proud of that you're telling people that you know You're not doing me no favors. And you're a coward To play devil He just wants validation. You haven't hung around with him. You know? It's going to be a great fight.

59:20 He's going to get a hold of these fucking nuts, man. fucking kidding me man cause a lot of these of fucking fanboyed out i go man i could have sworn you were just mentioning my name saying Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same shit. It's fun. It makes it exciting. I like shit-talking when you back it up. Yeah. Back that shit talking has consequences. I like some shit talking, though. It's fun.

1:00:54 Who's the guy you fought in the past Went back and forth Boom boom boom I mean, yeah, a little bit of beef, you know. Me and Cowboy were talking a lot of shit back and forth to each other. a stud i i don't think askren is even yet to get a win in the ufc Yeah. Even by his body type, you can tell, like, physiologically, he's just built for a guy like me to put him under the radar.

1:03:04 Let's go to somebody else man He gets a big pop He fought in the UFC too Because he looks like he belongs there. Curly hair. Very effective. your teammates might come up to you and tell you like hey man i think you should fake the injury and Gastelum I don't know. I thought he... I know he's going to fight Jac right? Paulo Costa, they're supposed to fight. I don't know.

1:05:11 It's a fucking crazy division though. from Whitaker know if they use the new score cards the new method, but if they did and he didn't win, then it's a real fucking hurt him. And there was no moments like that for It's an amazing step up. Went up to 185 and really found his own place. fought one of the the more clever powerful punchers because one of the better boxers yeah one of the better boxers and

1:07:32 I don't know how he makes it either. it's incredible I love his rhythm a different look I mean, just takes that loss so well. He came up short. Yeah. He throws those chokes up and shit. I mean, it's an amazing time for the sport. cat yeah he's a scary cat but so is sejudo oh yeah wow oh yeah i remember when uh sejuda won that gold medal we were watching i i

1:09:59 thought it was an early stoppage but i definitely thought tj was fucked he was in a bad place and if I'm like, what the fuck? ufc world champion he beats the best guy ever ever ever you know i mean it's amazing he's an the idea of having grappling matches over in 1FC are watching each event in Asia. fact it wasn't live i mean i think you could watch it live on bleacher report live there was a

1:12:30 225 fucking Thai fights. He's so dangerous to let him fight Thai style but with MMA gloves are gonna come out and that's what happened example is go khan saki and khalil roundtree roundtree just snuck that beautiful straight and decided he really needed to work on his clinch game. Brutalized him. In two fights Oh, that's from that event. Anything And came out

1:14:59 It's not kickboxing I was surprised I didn't see that, you know? He's a beast, man. When's Anderson going to knock out Yushin Okami? That's what makes it interesting. And then when you're fucking thinking about that sidekick, boom, left elbow to the eye orbital. Whap, whap, whap, whap. Yeah, no shit, right? There's no gravity fucking with him. he kicks like a fucking Thai dude,

1:17:41 He's produced some great talent, Usually, right? He really learns well I do think about it When you ask about the longevity, it's just because I love it so much. figured out what that is you know maybe skiing you know every time i go skiing the skiers are It's fucking snow, man. I know. how brains think I've had fucking, while I was standing still, like, past my friends, hey slow down to to say what's up and just like some 70

1:20:48 Yeah. I watch some of those fuckin' men going down those hills, though. I was like, what in the fuck are you doing? It's ridiculous sliding down a mountain. she was deep into her 60s. It's uh Fucking himself up That's the best time to ski. You don't know where the trees are. It fucks with you a lot. a dosage had a blast you know yeah they say it's a it's a micro dose thing yeah just like don't

1:23:46 And then you just feel it all of a sudden. So I could like jump on rails and half pipes. fuck out because you can't move your legs individually like you can if you're skiing I've heard bad stories about the landing, how you are with the skiing. Yeah. That's a sucky way to die Yeah From doctors I know a lot of athletes that just cut it. So that's what he did?

1:26:36 Yeah. and better so when you say like rehab it what what kind of rehab are you doing for your meniscus what That's what I did. have to diet to bring my body to like 173 174 especially the last three four years of my career I just get back, drink a shit ton of water, wake up, and then have my meal. Yeah. and then you're going through the entire night with no food and then a light breakfast.

1:29:33 morning get another meal and then by 10 o'clock you're good to go not buddy i'm just gonna go to and I'm going to know what's good at this place. I finished at 178 pounds. touch down like to 172 maybe 174 i couldn't eat i just drink water so i got used to that that weeks out like right now i'll lift weights running swimming anything to just get my heart going and

1:32:13 you know yeah i'm a big fan of kettlebells as well it's my favorite exercise tool if i pick Yeah, yeah. Now, what do you fuck up your back, your shoulder. You just throw your whole shit off, you know? Yeah, yeah. And maybe I'll do that twice in a day. you just said right now old school yeah it's um you know people are doing that to see what their And maybe I shouldn't invest in some of this stuff.

1:34:34 my coaches and my management because they know how i sleep and uh like on fight week i'd be up Get the float, man. Get that fucking tank in there, baby. Nice. Is there a good spot near you? Yeah, Dan should open up a spot down there. evacuate my brother you gotta have a passport for these waters sir yeah there's certain dudes that And then on different session for like either the lighter or the bigger guys will come in at a different session, you know. And then we got guys throughout the day doing their individual training.

1:37:26 Not only is he a great guy, but his brain is, he's like Elon Musk of like fighting and shit, man. drilling with a brand new move for me to get it you know and then after that I just want to go live now. Yeah, that's why when you see guys that just spar too much and all they want to do is spar, keep moving them around. it's not the same But that's the way to do it is drilling.

1:39:40 And it's almost like a live where I'm just drilling that move but I'm giving all my energy into it. clip that they wanted to see me like when uh woodley fought till they're like look how woodley I do. Yeah, this all makes sense. regimen to times I wasn't. Everything And they just showed that 180 degrees Yeah so they just they which is you know normal temperature

1:42:44 doctor telling you you want to cure problems just go in the sauna yeah man people with arthritis Do they doubt it? You know, they have one pro fighter attending, Joe Rogan attending, and they had a doctor attending. body reduce inflammation that's fucking insane you just feel better too right you get out of there The sweating would dramatically go down, but I wouldn't attribute it to that.

1:44:04 No? I'll do it, man. are constantly putting stuff Out there Yeah Put you on mute you know To the ladies Me loving you always It just gets lost because the fighters either don't become a coach national program ran uh by mark branch um i mean david branches are and chris pendleton these guys are fucking studs and they let me come in there i'm just some mma fucking fighter man you know

1:47:30 the cuban crime wave of great boxers you know we get all these guys that are olympians that come in there and i'd be at the gym with them picking their brain getting beat up by them time you put into that craft eventually whatever is bad will get good if you put the time into it I don't need it. fucking tapped a bunch of times guess what buddy who cares bro right learn that humbling experience

1:49:42 You know, do that. to be committed to somebody right and if they don't have the same mentality that you had you're Yeah. Everything's coming out. Yeah. just takes work just really understanding it yeah really just takes work yeah it really takes work you're doing the opposite. I'm not coaching tennis. you fucking gotta just do it over and over and over and over embrace it you know i'm glad you're

1:53:19 with dropping documentary like that and in that documentary um i told him from from the start when how we break it down. especially if they grew up in Cuba, You will never see me do anything ways to recover how we spar how i set up the sparring things like that you know what kind of shit do you do that's unusual uh not unusual i guess i would say but i don't know i could we could do

1:55:32 Yeah. and you tell me how that feels, He's, he's getting into the documentary I appreciate you as a fighter. What is it? Oh is that a three piece But it doesn't really pay us We'll figure this out You get all the shirts you want.
