Transcript

0:00 the Joe Rogan experience Oh, yeah, yeah. Do you take that shit personally? Let's talk now. So it's not business for me. And you're like, I couldn't get started. Yes. want to go to another doctor that the lady was just telling me about oh wow that's crazy so that's Yes, either the I don't know. What was your first experiences? No, I don't. I'm serious.

4:42 You just decided to learn. So it's like, yeah, I could do that. is my um conditioning and my endurance and stuff like that because we feel like that's the only weakness in my game right now. I love that fight, too. yeah that fight was uh that was that was a heavy duty fight there's a lot of bad blood in that try to um to kick his legs because he used to stand real wide but whenever me and him fought

7:42 and he didn't do that at all for my fight. he's going to try to stand up with me. Yeah, I guess so. Cut that out, dude. That's an interesting strategy. What makes you get more amped up for some fights than others? There's no more cars. Nice. It's like two hours away from New Mexico. I think that many stars at night, it's like, don't even seem real.

10:47 Man, that's a different story right there. and I was sitting next to my wife, Oh, Islam Makachev? Because that kid, Drew Dober, is very good. That dude's got crazy power. And he's a people. But I gotta admit, when you see what Blahovic did Yeah. But I also, like, picture myself fighting him one day. How come? I mean, he's at 250 pounds now. So he'd be a natural heavyweight, really.

15:03 Trying to be endurance and because I had Krispy Kreme this morning. I don't know. like a lot of explosive work and shit like that. i've never done before would you so you don't run at all no No. So what do you do for endurance work? I do Stairmaster. But if it was good for you do you think you I could probably do it I can imagine It's like right there.

17:47 I used to work with him. I told them it was trash. I don't like it at Didn't like it? It was trash. I told him it was trash. That's right. or what i don't think so definitely not have to sell the video well he don't speak english so he Well, he probably got something good and some spicy food. weird diet he follows. He's weird. He gets them with that Ezekiel.

19:41 And so it was like I was kind of panicking because i he was Keep doing that. He grabs a hold of their neck. If the money keeps getting better like it is, we'll keep I don't even count that as a beating, Francis. I had knee issues. that Stipe overwhelmed him and beat him for the first time in the UFC, Bulging and hernia, yes. Isn't it weird how everything's connected like that?

23:00 So what did they use? Anchors or whatever Ever since that fight, like cramping, Yes. Do you fuck with yoga trying to get me I guess I'd give him a try, but I up in the air and do like a standing split it's crazy how flexible he is i guess i'll give it a try since i got low t so i'm just the closest woman anyway It's odd, but sometimes dudes are the only ones that can really get in there,

26:09 That's hilarious. anymore it was monday wednesday and friday i do that and so every day is two a days or do you have I do it just enough if, okay, I can last three rounds. But you want to be the champ. I want to be the champ champ but it's not my main goal is to be the champ my for so many years and being counted out and being left behind Yes, yes, it is.

29:23 I don't want to be this high anymore. Like what about your past was? And I ended up violating because I didn't have a job, you know, didn't have any money. The feeling of being counted out by the system, that's one of the main problems that most people have with our justice system. If a guy like you can do it, then what's the difference between you and a lot of other people?

32:28 Is your brother big like you? I'm recruiting him right now. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. down a little bit we might have i tell him that every day whenever i talk to him he see i was Yeah. That's so tame. Because it was so fun. I'm saying he's okay. She's okay. When dudes get fucked up, I don't feel bad at all. Yeah, there it is. She's like, his head's too big.

35:35 It looks like she took like a half inch off the right side of your face. People think they know better. He took a hot dog in the dude's pants, do you think it was really dana white though was it him that's what i was telling myself it's And he ended up posting it on his page. Yeah, he's fine with it. It's pretty cool, though. Brother Mob and Scarface.

38:13 Like, you're a real person? he'll come back again he'll come back again it's never happened never happened again Yeah, he's getting lung or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we were supposed to have a UFC. He was saying that it wasn't a good idea. places yeah and they're fine it's retirement home city right yeah i think you gotta let people do

40:33 Yeah. Really? Yeah, my friend Coleon Noir, he's a gun guy on Instagram. Is that your favorite? About six. do you sometimes like get in it and go And I pull up to it, and I'm like, man, I can't believe it. Yes. Which model is that? They say me and Shaq look alike. what's crazy is he couldn't fight in the UFC because there's a super heavyweight Let's say he's 280.

45:02 Yeah. Oh, no. before they ask for money. There's no females at all. So true. By fans? not having hope, into being in this position now, Yeah, to relax. Like, because I know how easy it is to slip up and go back into those situations I think. still do now, but back then That's a lot of young men. and making the honor roll every year that situation to be a better person than I am today so it's like raising being raised without

50:58 energy to do something with your life it's it's ironic because like everybody like i want nothing Even though they're not in the streets or doing anything bad, And she just wants friends and stuff like that. Have you thought about getting her involved in something where she can meet Like anime? Social media. to your head and shrinking the heads and shrinking the bodies i mean that's what they do and you

54:24 They go to the Post Oak Hotel, and they got a lot of cool stuff over there, Doing things for attention. But you mature later in life, and, you know, I think maybe bigger guys, Yeah, yeah. and you've had this success and it's like I really don't take I believe stuff like And also, I think your endurance helps too. Okay, you can throw this punch, but

57:42 And so, okay, you're tired right I guess so bad I had to put my hands on my knees. and I feel like that if my endurance and conditioning is it's decent enough to um to Wait a minute. Okay. Give me some volume on this. he couldn't take it either no more it was wild too because we just got done saying, Then I'm like, okay, try the game. then seeing that one guy that played in the one movie, Groot?

1:01:59 Seeing his reaction, it was like it made it all work well. I scream. Yeah. It'd be cool if I could get one of those rocket-type fights Then like a few minutes before that, I hit him, Boom. When you watch yourself on television, Fox Sports. the 240 or maybe then you can see a little six-pack. the backyard like that lives behind us said we know who your dad is your dad is famous and I heard my boys say say

1:05:34 in boxing class. Then Yeah. Yeah, I would have played football, yeah. if I lose this fight, it's really all on me. Yeah, but if I lose this fight, it's really all on me. Isn't that crazy? I guess you would say Kimbo. Like people that don't know anything about fighting really still ask me, That's all you could really do back then on YouTube was watch fights.

1:08:28 Yeah, I was a big fan of his back then. You know, people would treat me the same way as well. A lot of guys get cut up. this yeah seriously people don't realize like how much guys get cut open from just the the bones of yeah in MMA I paid a few million Yeah, because the way they set the payout right now, it's like... with Paige, she just wants to do it anyway

1:11:23 she's willing. But I guess it makes sense if they're willing to pay her that amount of money. That fighters can negotiate against other organizations. You need competition. there really wasn't much competition You've got Eddie Hearn. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. She must have had some good good. kind of crazy shit today it's actually both there is another picture oh the dress there's

1:14:33 He's an interesting character. But he's a good fighter. Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz? It's crazy that he's not calling out Fury right now. It doesn't look right. No, there's He thinks Mark Breland had some sort of a deal to sabotage him. that the glove was pushed further up on his hand He does this kind of shit with his hands. But he also can do this.

1:17:14 to sleep it's crazy he's got crazy power it's just sad when a guy is used to winning only winning Yeah. I like hearing him talk, see what he got to say. Personality is so valuable because people want to watch him fight. They just want to watch. Yeah, he talks so much shit. Well, Conor's just too good at it. Most of his opponents respected him. I guess Conor kind of seen it too.

1:19:45 His game playing worked. Yeah. lightweight of all time those rounds I'm not trying to go to the decision. I never have a good feeling in a decision. Probably my father. see them start um not boxers basketball players they come to the gym like a couple of the rockets there's a lot of things along that. So I feel like I'm living in, like, a simulator.

1:23:33 you're always you're always seeing through all the bullshit looking for a way to win yeah like No. and coming out of them. You know, because it's like the fight's going to be over in three And for him to be calling out for me to help him do certain things, where does the UFC have you lined up? Do you know where that leaves you? to wait around and fight for the title or wait around to fight on a certain opponent.

1:26:56 So I don't have that much time left, so I just want to make money, not just sit around and wait. Rosenstreich or what? Yeah. The guy that beat his wife. I'm glad they not ask me to fight him anymore. Oh, I don't know. it's good for you on certain products I know of one lady She put on there though? You know It's all good oh the cbd drink so we're talking about um the greg hardy fight yeah that was that doesn't make

1:30:20 Yeah. Yeah, I don't know him. Yeah. And I'm like, if my fight is going to be in November, that maybe he's sick or my feet itching i'm thinking it's covid so don't know. They coming out with new symptoms every week. You know, he talked pretty good. They have to be happy with that. I heard it, yeah. But he was serious, and he was like, what's up? And so what we learned, that if they turned their wrists inwards, that means they about to die,

1:34:35 Really? He's got the thumbs up as he's going down. You can't survive from it, really. I'm glad he's okay, though. You lost to DC. was on point, and I really felt like I was going to win that fight. Won the heavyweight title, defended it, And so they had me go into the doctors and stuff like that. So how would you feel now if the UFC says you're going to get a shot at the title?

1:38:08 It all depends on who the opponent is. Yes, for sure. I mean, who knows what's going to happen with him and Stipe. yeah that's the only thing and I guess it's got to be or if they want to throw him in there in the mix right away. Yeah, I started getting tagged in the fights Yeah, it wasn't the most it's hard to get big powerful they look pretty decent.

1:40:38 Yes, yes, yes. it's not coming up he's very good and he's, you know, on his way up. It's crazy to even think about. Just walk around, that belt will cover your me walking around the house with no shirt on. Just walk around. Yeah, I know. It's crazy to think about. you're at yeah go through what i went through to get to where i'm at yeah i know with each fight and I believe I want to be in better shape than I ever been and so when we going in into a fight like thinking like they'll come in great

1:43:46 Nah, nah, I'm alright. Nah. Well, especially Texas. Yeah. I'm bringing in all the comedians. like Austin or whatever. that's all right. It's like the episode of South Park. many people that are out of houses that just this is their only option they don't know what to do If they pay me good, okay, So when you think about the future, you just think about investments and things along those lines.

1:46:21 No, they not even worrying about, like, the fighting side of things. dedicate yourself to it. to show people It hurts, yeah. dealing with the families just to be derrick lewis in 2021 come on yeah yeah if not i would have been Cool. she looks good too she looks like she's a really good coach Were you hesitant at first, like, a woman?
