0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. Five days five days before five week. I was in bit glad for that because I'm every time trying to push my preparation too much that I'm every you don't recover enough and then you go into the fight a little compromised biggest like Do you monitor your heart rate every day Yes and there I monitor everything like take a blood exams before, in and after this camp,

3:44 I was there in UFC performance Institute there. advantage to it because no one sees where those punches are coming from. So for the So when I achieved this attitude, that's why I don't need of the opponent, what he wants to do before he do that. in this last fight with Jamal Hill was evolution. Were always excellent. You always had amazing power and very unusual movement very difficult to predict

8:24 You waited until you had reached very brilliant approach. You waited capsules you have to keep track of. their recipe to dial it in. with some people, with some... but always stay with the people that brought as long as the relationship is Do you watch a lot of film? Man, that's wild shit. Yeah, no wild shit, but I was really inspired. I was really hungry for to see something because

12:39 just need to like see once once I I just see the attitude like attitude of the start but he handled that. He handled that and that's why he is how he is. Now he's starting to before you have fought him the second time? me like like like a next opponent to prove that I am but I want a true I want to take it. How long can you maintain the kind of energy that's required to constantly get better?

17:37 break before this. you walked into the cage. I thought I will do my best whenever go to the sauna night before the wedding and spend there and control weight and then I have, I don't know how to say it in a little bit, 91 kilograms. Yeah, I felt really really like you look great. Every time it's, this is the only way how to, how I want to see that.

21:20 There is a difference from other guys. This is a good one to watch the Artem Vahitov fight. Yeah. Because Vahitov is very way of moving. But his, the way Vahitov handled it is a good blueprint for a lot of people You figured out how to fight better than anybody on the feet. Yeah, that's right. And a lot of it how to use that and how to, because I'm the man who's like taking the piece here, taking

25:03 Yeah, Phuket. Yeah, always find a way yeah yeah when you first started fighting in MMA was this Right away, yeah, from my, yeah, 2020, around my 20, yeah. moment and rare natural power of the water, fire, of all these things, of the sun. Yeah, sometimes it looks weird, but you know, wow, I don't like to... I don't like... consciousness right here, right now.

29:39 like with the nature around me and in the end you can realize there is no fighting, there is Understand the life and like be a how is this style can be, but to live that. We're talking about playoffs. Yeah. Playoffs. Try betting on something simple like a player to score six. Go to DraftKings Sportsbook app and make your pick. New DraftKings gaming resources, see dkng.co.slash.audio. Well, you're obviously very physically talented,

33:26 to show others like we are an adults like we know we are the man but still Let's yeah, please. like when I see this picture of that. I understand. And then you feel that in training in nature, and then Then I realized it's not about the opponents man.'s about just your body just about rule your body how much you can you can rule your body rule Yes, so there's many levels what you have to,

38:15 the rising. So around the year 2017 to 2018. Yeah, something like that. And yeah, I realized that, man, there is a way And in that boxing, they look at fighters, fighters that you think, you got to know when they're ready. Where it will be the best for these for these targets? Mm-hmm, and then go in and do that Crazy. fight in the UFC, when you fought Volkan Oztemir and now you look at yourself now

41:52 it's a bad thing yeah like because ego will took you to another another line and We can't live without, in this world, you in a different line of fighting and then sometimes in that line you'll realize you're out of place They know where you're at. Like, come down, come down. Everything's great, but you're Fighters like to piece people up where they're not getting hit like Jamal

45:11 but I want to be like fearless in that like to stay behind stay before the I know what you're saying. you know since my title finding now I really I really exactly know what what yourself like everything is you and then then you can step to the level I'm felt the right movement, everything was right. It's all about control. But this is the game what we chose. And we are here to have a fun.

50:27 went wrong and how to how to change things? What's what's wrong? Yeah, like how do you want to be and yeah the power of true self-talking power of true overcoming all these coats, like from Bushido moral code, That was not me. sure it was awful but because of it the pain that you felt from it caused you to Not too much, there is a lot, but still we can go right now, we have to go to another level

55:22 That's it. Yeah, I think... There's never really been a time where the poor people were fat. And I don't mean it's too easy, like you don't have to work in situations that require you to stay calm like whatever you want to do in life if you want to be an artist if you want to be a musician whatever you want to you want to be an author it will hinder your potential like whatever you want to do in life if you want to be an artist if you want to be a musician

58:40 Please, keep, hold your head down and tell the other I'm the winner. everybody we are, we are one in the end, there there is no enemy even if you even with shit about me okay so you are the motherfucker but doesn't matter let's They talk a lot of shit and they're just trying to stir things up and make the It doesn't matter if you kick ass. It's, people love you, and they love you

1:02:37 The fight will do the promo. This is the main thing of everything have people talk about the fight. That's great. Which makes me happy because I want more people to watch the sport He was so energetic. right but that's the weapon the weapon of shit talking yeah and especially if What have I done? Yeah? Yeah, that's right. Not everybody had these these these

1:06:21 overcomes and understands his body, his mind, his opponent's mind and body and and his mind don't need to That's him. That's it right who are you for real? and you have this feeling of like, so I can't talk shit, and. can't do that because Yeah, Drekas is huge. I look at him I was like how does Drekas cutting is in my opinion the worst aspect of the sport.

1:10:57 When I stand next to him, I cannot believe he makes 155. Islam Makachev is so fucking good, and he's so big so if you're weighing in at 10 o'clock in the morning now, Which is plenty of time to recover and rehydrate. Get rid of weight cutting. There should be a weight class every 10 pounds. He was like 300 pounds. It was fucking huge. So I like the way the open weights. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah open weight

1:13:54 find out what he weighs. Holloway said he would never make one 50 145 again after he fought Ilya to play you saw their bodies change. Great fighters who when they were using were unbelievably good but then as soon as they He's willing to fight to what he weighs. It should you weight cutting is something that exists It's it's sanctioned. They allow it to happen. They know what's going on and it's cheating. That's right

1:16:48 cage allows you to get up when you wouldn't ordinarily be able to get up. You could walk, at the end of the round, you're on your back, So I'm glad for after this last fight. And the minimal amount of rules possible. Still the feeling still the feeling I understand know and that I just I feel like for the sake of the athletes future... Real fight. this age of the full of laws and all these things yeah but that's that's how

1:21:12 But yet you cover them like a tie cup, you know I think they're just hitting each other in the taint I think their balls are tucked up He probably has a little balls too, unfortunately Ridiculous is this so ridiculous as guys you just take oh no fuck man. Oh, oh no don't do it Oh God, you know it slam the nut very a log in in your life to the deepest level.

1:24:51 But these movements... it's a moving meditation I used to think it was a waste of time when I was a Yeah, but all these moves. like the neo in the matrix man yeah I know the kung fu yeah yeah they think Hey, Dmitry, hey. don't think or something like that I don't think it was that invasive I think said Dr. Coraline Lorden, lead author of the study and assistant professor of

1:28:33 And there, I don't know how it work in, And in the fighting, in the fight, You just saw it. Use that. Boom, you have the second level. See it use that boom Boom and between one and second one. There was a long conversation of you can do that try to do that anyone should wear shorts either I think you should wear tight maybe I can grab It's just about to, I have to say, to be there.

1:31:40 What is the? Just be. And we, in Europe, we have some special thinking about America. There is something better than everywhere. Yeah, with great power comes great responsibility. it can be dangerous. Right. Yeah. So. Right. Right. Right. because Jan Bojovic is still one of the best fighters thought about opponent my next opponents there was just like these guys uncle

1:35:02 There is something new, I mean, I'll never forget the fight with Ankalayev even think that the judges some judges are very good I think the judging in in the right direction, and you'd get a good result. Yeah, yeah, yeah, imagine that if they started doing the UFC like the old UFC like UFC one From being cavemen, food. In other parts of the world, billions of people watch cricket. Nobody gives a fuck about cricket here. Put cricket on TV, no one's gonna watch.

1:39:16 There's another one in Brazil big daddy good rich was fighting this guy named the pager look at this just pure nutshots Use it like a weapon. that I used to train with, Mir Rinovardi, They're pretty good. They're getting a little bit better and you staying and the legs and hands down you can knee the opponent to the head yes still yes man that's that's better that's better much better much better

1:41:57 your system when you came to the UFC is there any moments we like thought about Yeah, it's very effective. Just two men in the center of it. because you wouldn't be able to just stall the fight out by holding someone against the cage thinking about it I think about about the name of the movie Hunger Games? Yeah, just to put somebody and somebody somewhere

1:44:12 In some crazy country, some wilder country that just million dollar purse, you fight even have to ask but the book of five You can't just be aggression. just gonna get punched in the face you're gonna lose your head. That's right. Right now we are in nature here, So that's why they were so precise in everything, And don't care about your answer. and lightness is not to take in so much seriously and take into too much lights

1:49:29 That's the, yeah, this is the moment before the fight. I'm telling you that because I wanna be So let's see. let's see who's for this next performance as well. Are you enjoying this life yes yes like a David you are. Your best ideas what you what you are connected with Black magic, yeah. where it's going and the source of the spiritual world of that question what is the spiritual world where is the source is if there is some

1:55:59 hell to when you start stop believing yourself you're true yourself and when you start believing for my team, and we made a solid, good camp, hard camp. for just saying some something what what can be for somebody like take it seriously you know you know maybe yeah again I his prime had that. Mike Tyson in his prime had that. Anderson Silva had that. There's

1:59:56 you imagining yourself even better? and Because like I said the mind is a big great deserve but the doing just some posts and that's all yeah just post and post and that's it Keep your mind disciplined, keep your thoughts what you can, if you can, if you want really. you can you can see truly who you are and maybe sometimes it somebody needs The biggest special
