0:00 Eve Edwards, ladies and gentlemen. You were telling me this is a crazy time for you. Yeah, vagabond makes it sound like I'm poor and I got a stick with my clothes tied in Like King of the Gypsies is Tyson Fury. See, I'm going to get in trouble right now can midgets call themselves midgets i don't know man i don't know just like we're tightening up the word i just can't wait till we can read minds

1:56 You could say, this bitch is hot. I were talking about words and perceptions and like your shirt. was like he's like people listen to people in the weird shit i thought you were going to say like On a bug, on a Mustang. I do like sports cars. I'm not a big muscle car guy i do like sports cars I like crotch rockets and dirt bikes. And once it goes bad, like, you're not going to recover.

4:49 yeah especially i mean that's what they're designed for if you control at a high speed Yeah. You've got to do a ninja move. Well, you can still control the speed, but you're not going to be able to shift gears. I feel like I would be like the guy on... Well, yeah, I mean, I guess it's if people are crossing streets and shit. Everybody has to stay in a lane.

7:05 Yeah, Texas was one of them. You hit something at 90 miles an hour. Wow. like um traffic laws it's weird traffic laws being different like so different in in every state i Because if you don't know the law, it's still not their fault, right? I mean, fucking thousands, if not a million people, right? That's it? I saw an overhead shot of it. Good luck trying that shit in America.

10:28 Yeah. Because that's 90% of the problem with people is the way they think, and then they act on the way they think. language that's based like on images or or things that are culturally like you could it could cross that but then when you translate it it like it moves words that are already in the english they say kill the light. You know? just different just different yeah very different it was like being in the future sometimes right

13:53 buckets of older and I swear to you, if you, like I don't know, if Jamie pulled up like something, That's the other weird thing about Asia right Did you play it I really don't understand. this machine and then they're bouncing around like a like a pinball machine turned up on its side yeah i i don't i don't understand it at I want 20 bucks on nickel slots.

16:19 Yeah. always and then they do like a circus show well they they have like a clown and trapeze artists he's a little thick around the middle Yeah, that's, I don't know. like second rate Vegas, right? Yeah, yeah. You're not on Fremont. Like, Fremont is like second-rate Vegas, right? until this time in Vegas. She's so, like, her body. It's funny that it's hard to say that these days.

18:20 Fat and ugly for a guy is fine. Woo. Not grossly obese. She could lose a say it. She's not grossly obese. Nobody complains about the petite woman, That looks like me with my nine-year-old. Oh, yeah. I mean, but those type of competitions you talk about like that. They create gyms based around that. Yeah. Wait, they were? They were just sports that are just much more fun to watch when men are playing there's some sports yeah

22:41 I don't know. Really? Trying to get me to touch my toes Let me see that You had it. Yeah. They have a good strong core That's one of those sensitive subjects where I'm like, way the shape of their hips the like mechanic. Women kicking, that's one. It's out of respect. I think it's technique. what do they call that? And your legs are all splayed out.

26:09 No, I don't like sitting like that. Yeah, and then there are some times where after a while the knees it's more normal for them to sit with their legs together i think does that make sense Thank you, spinal neurosurgeon You should be ashamed of yourself. Yeah, but that's just happy wife, happy life that shit's not healthy it's not healthy it's not like how do you enjoy that i don't know you have

28:30 Everything else I made ever. I leave in the morning. Oh, it's good. The flavor is so different. Yeah. and then it's dead in seconds. hypothetical you got a choice you're gonna you're gonna get mauled by a bear a gorilla um or die by Did you see the video of the tiger chasing the dudes on the motorbike? It should. There's not much you can do. You're going to freak out.

31:53 And the river water has a high degree of salt in it, high level salt. and i imagine being that guy on that bike and like, you know what a bike seat is like, right? Not today. He's just like riding. Are the tigers in India bigger or smaller? depends on the animal obviously than they are in the colder climates it's something it has There are certain places where people are just larger.

34:15 And I guess someone got it. Fuck them all. And then you're screwed There's nothing you can do 40 miles an hour And I'm telling you, you've never seen a deer move this fast. And I'm like, of course, the ones that got caught by the tigers are the slower ones. You're getting people that sit at a desk all day with fucking herniated discs and a fat belly,

37:07 four five six generations you get you get piss poor genes yeah i um i i just recently went home to the bahamas and i i'm starting to miss it more and more and more because as i get older i i i Everything that you need staple-wise, you have to go somewhere else to get it or it has to be brought in. in the water and he really comes out of the water, and he reaches up. He says, hey, Julian, bring the boat over here.

38:42 Yeah. But then you like not only is it 360, but it's like universal. I don't know. feeding the turtles right so i try to grab a turtle and literally the turtle is this big Like if I were to hang on to that turtle, I'm not a fight weight anymore Yeah much you know you you had did you watch the steve jobs movie no i haven't either but just recently Is that the one with Ashton Kutcher?

41:52 He's – I think that's him. Yeah, I mean, I only saw like the first five minutes. hours too that's a weird I'm listening. If you can handle the highs and the lows, with fighters, it's handling the highs with the ego and the lows with the emotions and just letting everybody down and the depression. And I was like, that breaks my heart. There's people that they have crazy theories about nonsense.

45:23 That's a moron. And when you have the opportunity, the big thing is winning. He'd probably fight every week. Yeah. Too many morons with ideas. Or maybe even a 90. Like at some point they just gave you the number. I was on in double O's. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like being from back then, you know? Yeah. Or maybe even a 90. Just to check in. There was some good technique talk about leg locks

47:15 I appreciate when people are like devoted practitioners and they're really Like, if there was a guy in your life that wanted your phone number, and all he does is complain about things and have stupid theories, Someone lets them on. It's normal. He's like, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh. You wouldn't fight him because of that. Your parents have failed. We're not going to go back and forth.

50:16 This is like someone challenging someone to a race I can't really believe that. I watched it again. Because I was like, why you got bare shins and bare knees and bare elbows, horrific i want i i want to show you something okay that's like you do when you do you see when You want to see some gore? I don't know if those two things go together. Whoa. Yeah.

53:15 Like, how do you dent somebody's skull? no i'm not saying no but i'm just like over there, like, that screen brightened up. Well, how about, yeah, what Cosmo Alexandre did to Sage Northcutt. But, like, I don't wish that on anybody. He lights people on fire Yeah You see how thick john wayne parr is a multiple time world champion and a skillful guy and he managed to avoid like

55:18 He's just not ready for this. I like what one is doing, though. but the dynamics shift radically Yeah. I don't know if it's like the UFC kind of forces fights on people, right? And this is what I like about this style. And then it would be this big promotion. young fighters that could be world champions but then they run into elite competition early in

58:36 say they're a ufc fighter but it really isn't smart the smart way to do it is to fight on the When he was before PFL, when it was the World Series of Fighting, he was fucking everybody up over there. There's a lot of good guys that came through there, like Gaethje. second shot you know what i mean yeah like you can go back and and i guess it all depends also

1:00:17 Or if you do mean it, you might mean it only for an hour. jumps into a flying arm bar i'm like that is crazy and finished him off i was like that is insane takes him to the end but then this season vinny just fought a couple of weeks ago and um man the Did he win his fight? Really? ryan bader stopped him in the finals that was a long time ago it was like third or fourth

1:02:58 But his wrestling is where I think that's where he really needs to focus now if he still wants to do it You have to respect his standing. better guys, you're going to have a problem there. That shit's crazy. Just doesn't make sense. Yes. who was not banged up really. You can only fight five rounds. you're punching him in the face when the when they break it up you won yeah he knows it too

1:06:45 That makes sense. they're concerned for your safety you know like we're fighting we already agreed to do this like they sit on the bench for a quarter and then jump back in. It's freedom. Now, today, yeah, they have, you know making a choice, right? Right. It's freedom. Yeah, no one – I mean, it's like, well, yeah. It's now that you – this perceived defense protection,

1:09:11 But football is like you're slamming into each other, well, maybe not. But what I like, the thing about the pfl because The Pride tournaments were awesome. season fight you um you you know where you everybody's sitting at zero but then you come We have a scoring system. playoffs you're seated in the top eight and i'm talking about the men just remember that the women

1:12:12 the winners in the semifinals Yeah. the second round of the regular season now so on on the 8th on july 8th i'm sorry july 11th and he called out Magomed Karimov. like the kind of guy will smash you but he will like did you see ray cooper last year like ray cooper the second ray cooper the second that's what's crazy is that jake shields fought That's rough.

1:14:55 too yeah very interesting fight that's a very good fight now with that fight i because ray hits a lot You can't I think John is probably like 33 now. He's been in some wars. That's very exciting. they only, train UFC, you know, from Japan, from you know from japan from one I'm very happy about that. I don't know. and just say you're 185 pound fighter which is what they i mean you stand next to guys like

1:18:42 I don't know how Gleason did it all those years. He's easy like 205, 210. So I've seen him at weight cuts just like laid out. The temperature's down. yeah in the position Chotri He weighs like 140, 140-something. There's some guys that do it really well, too. Those guys, they just, the advantage is so spectacular. Paul Felder's a fucking gorilla. Crazy.

1:21:53 be greater than jose aldo like that's an argument people can make well he beat him twice right kicks in i'm like give that man some credit man man. I mean, I know everybody loves Dustin. He took out Eddie, champion. Like, he just, he's like the cream, you know. Khabib is definitely the guy. episode oh all right um and dustin's my first guest oh perfect so i was out there with him

1:24:26 because when Khabib takes him down, gregor gillespie to to to get with dustin and just get on top of him for the next two months just feel style and i think you nailed it too because gregor gillespie is probably when you get past khabib You watch it and you go, oh, this is why this guy doesn't get tired. Straight. Wow, that's crazy. You know what I mean?

1:27:26 That's hilarious. Not with a rod. like he'll Oh, no. And, of course, it's with the rubber, kind of like a slingshot. Yeah? I got to go free diving diving with curly and do some of that and hawaiians they do that crazy workout there was a member one of the countdown shows and bj So that was my thing. like I understand you can hold your breath long, and you have to take the dumbbell swim with it to the top catch a breath of air and then you go back

1:31:49 And then I went to hit pads I'm always concerned about that also when you're you're grappling and then you get back to your feet and then it's like your arms They had these ridiculous plyometric drills they had him doing. all your skills you just drill like that shouldn't have any any effect like cardio wise like if And I think their attitude also is that this way you're doing way less sparring, way less opportunity to get hurt.

1:34:35 Did you see that video of him beating up the bouncer recently? or who even like steps to bj penn in Hawaii? I mean, I understand. It's just a bad choice. Everyone else was just kicking the cap off. It's not that hard. Well I think people using water bottle caps I know how to throw a wheel? I guess. To me, I've never even thought once about doing it.

1:36:42 I think Max called him out on it. I would watch it. Right? they never have it yeah Yup, I don't want to be James Tony. I want to still be able to take off my shirt Yeah. He just nukes guys. You know? and powerful but it's light heavyweight white heavyweight light oh yeah oh that's well that's You do not have to. but that's a good question. I need to know if there's a right to first refusal in the contract for the season. But that's a good question.

1:41:04 You know what I mean? going to fight to win but you don't necessarily change your style to to play again play the rules Sean O'Connell. Good for him. That's amazing. Yeah, I mean, and it's weird. because all of his other fights all season were the Homer Simpson fights. going to throw people off but legit you see that play out one time it's like oh it's simple it

1:44:18 If he can get this win in the second round in less than two and a half minutes, And you play to that. So that's why they changed the name. without this seasonal format. Okay, tell me what card to watch. she fought her toughest opponent who took her to a decision she she won the fight convincingly but curtis i don't know if you know chris curtis he was on he was on um he was i think he was an lfa

1:47:26 I'll text you back. I promise. Because sometimes when ESPN 2 fights, you can't get them on ESPN Plus Unless you have it set up So we're on Plus at 5.30 to 8.30 I did a show in Baltimore, and then we went to a pool hall. another shot at the title and you know it's it's uh i mean i don't know why they wouldn't give him That's what I think happens in that fight.

1:49:37 with francis how much did that take out of stipe because even though he won that fight That's the thing. than such a perfect punch too man you know he he gets rid of the arm on the left side then boom to make that opportunity happen, that that's um that's high level stuff So he has to go back into the gym, break that down, How are you not talking about the most successful heavyweight champion of all time yeah the guy who who i understand him

1:52:32 I get that. like you had GSP you had Matt Hughes they had long title runs also but um the fight with Kamaru smithereens you know that was that was the big one right yeah the darren till one because that one They took it away from him. It was years ago How do those training sessions go? Blink twice if Robbie fucked him up. I went over it with Herb Dean.

1:55:21 Yeah, I think he was out for a second. guessing now yeah it was disappointing but also if he just put him to sleep, Yes. Masvidal might be the best real like he like his boxing is some of the best in the sport of mixed martial arts he he's we had fought each other before, He's a worker. He's got to close that distance. he used to do tournaments and in college just to get more pins so he could have like the pin record

1:58:52 And then he just stops everything. When Jordan Burroughs and him had that wrestling match, there's levels. the elite of the elite in wrestling is so much better than the elite of the elite of in wrestling Yeah. God damn, he's good. I'm going to wrestle. with zero striking you know like how long would it take before he gets to a comfortable level Because there's only so much hours in a day.

2:02:02 because it hurt too much. Unbelievable mental toughness. Well, you know he had a broken foot in that fight. I mean, what the fuck man that's dedication to the sport because i wanted to be something in that, that happened. that that mentality that's how i look at guys like that guys who just have no quitting them i feel That cowboy fight freaked me out.

2:04:28 yeah it's crazy man he has insane power man it it's like it's a weird thing because tony does So, like, I checked it, and I was, like, I was about to check, like psychotic you know yeah look at that tony ferguson's last seven opponents jesus christ after surgery, He said, and he trains with him, and he says, And he said he laps everybody. And he goes back

2:07:14 His stomach But as a fight fan I wanna see this fight And that like both those guys but as a fight fan i want to Yeah. And he like, instead like- Yeah. Like, Tony Ferguson. And as soon as you turn around, he's ready to kill you. And successes, successes, and then they get stopped. He gets too aggressive. He was like, what do you think of this guy? I wonder if he thinks that after the Holloway fight, though.

2:11:32 Max beats you up. at 145, super sharp a super high fight iq and just makes you fight wars with him. but everywhere he went, Dustin was there too. khabib's bread and butter he's so fucking terrifyingly good when he clinches you it's Like, that's what I hope Dustin works on right now, Never hurt him once. but I think just that he carries If he can show that he can hurt Khabib standing,

2:15:24 Right. taking you down. I mean, I want, like, I hope Gregor's watching this and he's like, man, I of time yeah that's that's that's that whole gregor thing man i want And the fight is, what's the date of the fight? okay oh yeah no i'm home if i if if i'm still home i'm as of right now i'm home. If I'm still home, as of right now, I'm home. He's the only guy rapping thug jitsu right now.

2:17:33 I remember Tim from the John Jock Machado days, like way back in the day. I'm sitting next to the commission, and Tim's fighting this guy, and he's working on a stand-up with me. unless you have that checkmate card like francis like no disrespect to junior but i did not think stevens is those one he's that that that one punch kind of thing and you just have to you have to make sure that they

2:20:06 Rico's had some MMA fights, and he's still the glory heavyweight champion. You've got to get a guy like Stipe that just knows how to get the fuck out of there. Even thinking about that is fucked up. and he's knocked out 39 dudes. Oh, 40-0 and one. Who did he have a decision with? Remember they did that study on the NFL bodies First fight against him.

2:22:24 Yeah, that was crazy. yeah that that was that was He was getting up to fight back, right? Right. Yeah. in the 12th round. He hits him with some hard shots, and then Tyson comes back and dings him. Look at this. Oh, okay, he's a sparring partner for him decision i honestly i wouldn't mind um tyson getting into his camp and just even just kind Just for life.

2:25:16 something he was talking about that I was just like, phone he's like eve edward eve edward i was so pissed god i was like man i missed the phone You're funny. You would watch him execute guys. Like there was a changing in the guard. He was so good. you know they they got it man and he just he meant a lot he meant a lot so He meant a lot. So when Larry Holmes came around, it's like, man, Larry just never got his due.

2:28:11 He would watch Sugar Ray Robinson and Jack Dempsey. Yeah, that era of boxing was very different. I met Trevor Burbick. 20. I feel like his career and his life would have been very different if Cuss didn't die when he did. life like he's he's had so many ups and downs and as as the heavyweight and like to be somebody Yeah, perfect. I was just like, what's wrong with him?

2:30:57 know and i think afterwards he realized what happened he was furious yeah but it's like that Imagine being a poor, adopted adopted black kid with no love in What? He doesn't want to fire his ego up. But, yeah, he was doing it for something. And there's a scene in a bar Hook came before you know but but again larry holmes just doesn't get the credit it's like for whatever

2:33:14 I mean, Mike was black, shoes, no socks. he's probably like five ten five eleven i think he's like five ten and a half something like that Like his head's right in your chest He used it on everybody Francis hits harder If Mike Tyson can hit Obviously, around then. Well, He looks like he's 6'6". The punch-o-meter. The punch-o-meter. if I was his trainer.

2:35:23 Yeah. What's up? okay but i'm telling you that don't mean shit. We got him for the end of the month. None. Yeah. Thursday the 11th all sorts of old school And check out Subfam. Yeah, that's me. Everything. And your new podcast that the same for Instagram too? Instagram, Twitter. Yeah. Out today. Goodbye.
