I do that sometimes in podcasts. getting caught. Left hook in the right hand. Great defense. Jake is clean, man. He's clean. Yes. What does he on? He just I went Yes, he goes and then my He know he does hunt them. I've seen videos of him doing it I've seen it's just someone gives him a bow. He doesn't look at it. He doesn't care somebody teaches him how to shoot

29:10 Yeah, hard work physically makes you like appreciate some masculine aspects of life But what well it's a little bit of a cheat code because what it does is it makes you not hungry and so people don't My stomach's over. Yeah Ozempic's got a bunch of other uses too and it's also like for diabetes. muscle and bone mass yeah but this is what I think I think were those people

31:33 Fat guy right? And I'm sure that didn't help it you know, but I was and then I got on to you Now that he's a fat guy and I'm in shape So I was about to fight a totally different fight He got smashed. You got to take six months where you're not doing any take downs. No leg kicks. No nothing. All you're doing is boxing that idea know what I think that's true I think he you solve that? I think he was a different guy. But I think he was a different guy. He was a fucking animal.

35:19 Jake Matthews is walking this down. He's swinging. He's put on this. If you're the first find rewatched that one that's gotta be a bitch so Matt, do you ever fight and have to get ready for it? It's all how you the other I'll tell you though But then also Strickland is not getting points because his defense is so good. Listen to the judge's criteria.

37:24 People that say it's boring, I'm like, man. I thought it was great. It though. It was a very good fight people that say it's born. I'm like man It was blah blah. It was like duck the punch blah blah Really? I was doing warrior with him. He was 230 on set 230 and not that he sucked down at one seven, bro Yeah, that's Tucker's what they're good. They're really good. They yeah, they're very good

39:39 They're run by people black buffalo who don't want to be involved with anything controversial if you're doing two hour episodes about a guy who supposedly sucked Obama's dick Yeah, like I had a friend of mine had him on his podcast and he has this lady who works with And you know and talking about things that were very controversial and people did not want him talking about and then fire him

41:36 You have to watch it at the time that it's on. a funny way and showing you clips of people going nutty and you know you just don't trust any of it they even have sitcoms anymore like new ones and This business is change the man It's good. It's all I got I bought it on You know what you like Nosferatu. Have you seen? Yeah, but it's got a lot of different shit going on but the dude who plays Nosferatu is the same dude who played it

45:12 Yes. It's good for one episode. Yeah they get stupid. What happens now? It is so good It's almost like a Twilight Zone the traffic in town. They cannot leave and at night these There are they they're just that's the thing. It's almost like a type of show like you're like wait I'm in. I'm prepared to die. You never met a black guy in my life? You know I'm just it took the place of kung fu movies. Is that what?

49:25 Limbs that letter Joe. Thanks, brother Is it working? Nah, I don't do it. I listen juice We went to your gym. Yeah, we took a train from the city out to Long Island went to Matt's gym. It was awesome Also to just be here in the fucking fucking hitting the fucking Snapple bottle And I'll do the noon also before I go home and do unfiltered with Jimmy

52:52 I talked him into it like way back in the day. in a fucking rash guard no matter what suffers. No fools. No, he's not. Yeah. Fascinating I'm like, what do you mean? He was staying with me and Rodrigo Gracie He was training at a long goes. It was like positions and counters and moves. It's like always like you have to be fucking psychotic and obsessed like chess

55:23 You married Jeff Munson? Remember there's that picture of him against the fucking SWAT team? Yeah, he's all in with Russia. He always wanted to be a Russian. I got a guy you want to get into conflict And because he was so strong, people assumed that it was a goon move. My father was a boy is a black belt on the Hensel just smother guys and then Monson was a monster big fucking dude, man. He goes Jimmy crew. I know we go

58:00 He's a big boy. It's that first This is a terrible position for how's your elbow escape doing pal? Wow You could get his way to through hard fucking left hands too, and they're not getting blocked So we're gonna go home old. yeah, he's getting pomade joke Yeah, if I eat you go to three quarters here, too He had to explode to try to get to that position. He's like he's like it didn't work and now he's demoralized a little bit

1:02:12 He just got to get out of that. I assume the guy on the bottom hit those are his coaches Oh, he's getting you're okay. You're okay I'm standing up playing a turtle guys playing a turtle first round guys. He's a thick neck. Why are they not changing that? I don't know they should change because they don't know how to kind of come up with an agreed upon

1:04:44 Yeah, but they can't get swayed by the crowd like this should be a disclosed area I should probably be doing commentary somewhere else too. Well, I mean, way better. Anytime you get it my wife just had a kickboxing match over the weekend title fight. Yeah, she's 41 They think the bombs the fighter little they know the dad But yeah, a lot of Viking shit.

1:07:02 No, she's Irish. We still don't know what a ties never did it or do it not well they they stand with that left leg light Oh, is that what I have to worry about takedown so they stand straight up It's gonna get shoot the fuck up. What do you say? You see Cruz gonna knock him out? Yeah, try spinning on that now. Yeah, it's like oh this thing don't even work anymore. That's a great round

1:09:54 He hit him with the more meaningful blows for sure. Damn those fucking dude. That's a lot of damage Bro his left leg gun shy as fuck. He's landed like 30 of them keeps kicking the odds. Okay, cuz light heavyweight's pretty light, too But I mean, out of respect, I feel like you trick. They can do a lot but I don't know what the actual dose you need is. So this

1:12:10 It's like there's a number that you're probably gonna get to that's the right amount of cells But the other thing is peptides get yourself some BBC 157 or TV 500. That's the Wolfram track Travis Pastrana is talking about. He had a fucking shoulder problem for two years. I think his shoulder he did stem cells. No, he did a BP BP 157. He said that in a week it was gone it was a week yeah

1:13:51 Changes we go to our of K if he gets in I hope that peptides become everywhere Even in the fight though. It's a good fight. He did. Yeah, but he's falling forward. His left leg is all fucked up again though. He's yeah another cool as fucking snap crazy I was insane dude he hit him with like a Heavyweight to do a spin or a kick and perfect like right he sees we watched it in slow-mo to watch his ribs cave in

1:16:37 Oh yeah. Fuck. into his fucking rib cage bro break all your all of his organs just had to get One judge it gave you a group Wow, that's surprising Steve Ercig But you would want, I'd like to see Sandhagen, That's my mother fucking fight. It's Peter Yon licks fantastic. He switches it up to with the grappling too. I love his trip Do you think he had staff on his left arm sure looks like it done it it looked like staff to me

1:20:41 Oh my goodness, but he did he's a he's 7-0 undefeated prospect They put him on here for a finish like, you know, if you're here Rothwell response to mark hunts call it. Let's fucking go motherfucker Dudes from Cuba like they were said yo else. Yeah. Yeah, I think the old guys good. What is that? What about, what about Wyman? Wyman goes, what the fuck?

1:23:49 He might be the guy Almost it almost stopped got stopped because Rob switched it around Casuals in with the huge names with like Woodley, right? I was seeing Darren, the owner of PFL or GFL Techs, his manager. Anti-electric vehicle club. Oh, how dare you? Well, no, you can drive it in your fucking you drew here an electric vehicle. I didn't ask for that

1:26:03 Just drive around town like a pariah. We need a revamp, let's go baby! Oh I'm sorry. Did you get that lighter to work? Like a kid with his dad It was hard He can close distance like note when he knocked out athletic does he have a ground I don't think Taffa though. I haven't he has we haven't seen it cuz we have oh It was it was but that knee god, that's insane. That's so good. That's so good. Oh, it's inducted. Oh, 100%, that

1:29:53 Is it? If you're Taffy, he can't be mad. I hope Tatiana just fucking Molly whops her. I bet you that's true, but she might practice like pace pace and defense on the ground malls I'm But this is his introduction right? How many fights has he had in the UFC now? doesn't show that i'm curious to what uncle i feel felt to go about those He was like 20 years old. Yeah, he was fucking wrestling internationally at 16 years old

1:33:13 You can't drink out of my shoe. It's so weird. So what uh injuries did she have she had quite a few and neck injury was the main one was it a surgery? Isn't that crazy? It's terrible. That's what happened. Yeah Come on, don't tell me you're not gonna watch that movie He got one guy First of all, if you're not watching it with the sound, then you should just shut it off.

1:37:41 what the fuck you're talking about look it's this, got super dogs dragging him to safety. They're over. Oh, he's kissing that girl in space. I don't think James Gunn could do any wrong. You know anybody can Dude, you know what? Some bullshit. stopped rooting for the Hulk when he started wearing glasses I was like you're Such a pussy you know the real problem he was alright

1:40:19 they're all in the bubble. Mark Ruffalo is the most woke guy ever. I like him as an actor though. He's good actor she comes new chair I'm calling it it So you think Trump's gonna be woke literally a little while see what he said about Prince Harry Yeah, it's so hard to know if she can even get through a camp, right? That's right no knee. Really bad break yeah, but that's in the fight, bro

1:42:51 My thing is do it make the fun fights like cowboy soroni style do the fun fight and come back to 205 then come back Some of them do. no the first one was a KO he got that guy with that over the shoulder kick Boom. One of the boys side kick is the nicest in the business. See, I feel like MVP doesn't have that. If he served Cyborg with 77 years old. Bellator's dead now. You haven't heard from him for a while

1:46:07 The Douglas Lima champion. I'm happy for everybody. It's like being CFL world champion the boxers that entertain him. Monster, destroyer. Yeah. Knocks guys out with one shot. Like Who knows if John beats him? You can't tell me John's the best of all time or he is the best goat It's MMA. I think he also probably is not used to a guy that's that good getting a hold of his neck. Yeah. I think he thought they'd be all the other few. At that level. World champion. John caught him. Yeah. He caught him. I think John does that

1:49:14 have no answers I agree bass athletic as he isn't growing up in that culture your guards not gonna He tapped everybody tap no Gara the breaks off Travis Brown in his prime. Yep. Yep tapped everybody flying flying Yeah. I was thinking second round always happens. You know what for fun I'm like but but in terms of experience, there's no comparison Help her off her back. Let's see if she gets in the cruise

1:52:41 for who We work those, we work those. And that Iowa wrestling she took it out in 40 seconds. Yeah, 45 This is where Iowa comes in. Oh shit. She has the butterfly girl, she can sweep her. We've been working this. She can't get out of that that butterfly though that right leg is comfortable as shit nice long legs to their heart so hard to pass For that guillotine the end of the round. She's on top the fact that she got out. It's huge. You know

1:59:28 he's got to get it with the control but this is a lot of fucking energy Oh my goodness nice right hand. Oh boy I think surprising her with the take down defense and just the physicality. She's been working her wrestling Yep. I bet Tatiana did not think she was going to spend a lot of time on her back. Doesn't matter. When you've been dominating ladies that are of a lesser caliber

2:02:30 I'm going to repeat my friend Matt here. Chinese girls beating her ass. Look at this that's where it went fresh Oh, oh, oh. No, doesn't. There was that one girl. You're right. She's stuffing it now now. She's putting on her one. It's oh nice. Need the body my vision quest. Let's go Just to be able to stop these takedowns and reverse them super when she gets them so impressive

2:05:59 I'm a fan of her too. I would beat the shit out of her yeah, but you're 280 pounds Difference is the strike. Oh, it's big It's impressive. Look at that fucking impressive you got her, you got Yawanna, you got like Those were fucking nasty Her head's literally past her front foot. Then you got this Chinese terror waiting over there. He was All-American just a little while ago.

2:09:15 We are seeing it on the foreign rail. Let's see what happens in the fifth round. He's gonna be going. I've been thinking Tatiana all the time half-god escape it's killing me. I'll show you. If she had the under hook on the left side, right if she has her under hook and she brings her forward gets on her side Oh my goodness! She's got to get all the way over the side.

2:11:31 It's basically free. She wanted to get her hips on to the right side That's ridiculous. If you want to get fired up for a workout watch her strength and conditioning training. She's ferocious, man Yeah, mobile spyware and they take her by. Yeah in every way she's better look at this side control again you're dealing with a I mean, that's what it must be. Yeah, if it's not broke, don't fix it. She would just take him down and smoke

2:14:59 Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah Yeah, he does think they get their stupid fucking tuxedo's on Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Is why fucking amazing boy? Look at this still? It's kind of what to do.

2:19:02 Oh my god. Of course, and super impressive ended up on top and the first round. Yeah Striking wise it's very I think they're hugging you know, it's devastating because there's there's nothing she can you do to be there's not enough hours in this almost looks like a bantamweight. Yeah She definitely looks like a 125 her tough tough standing up with no problem. Look at this. Oh man. That was a mistake

2:22:07 Fuck you superdogs! Talk to James Gunn. I love dogs, but that dog can go eat shit. Well, right here. see it. Oh, it's for you guys. We can talk about it. No, no, because it's such a bitch. If I bring my weight forward he can't stop me from getting here. If I pull this leg out and bring my pelvis forward. I miss. Now I'm even shorter with my shoes. God's dog for John Perez. I'm like, like you know you're gonna go home and tell your wife you got a gold star

2:24:55 You're basically a black belt. You just got to keep training We gotta get you on the peptide son you're fucking around with nature for too long. Yeah, nature's boring other times fun mmm and he's a ogre oh he's a giant human being Like the mustache. I really do. Yeah, I like him with the mustache. He's like old Bronson. It's fucking So they keep testing is like what can you vote pushing him till he dies and they transfer his consciousness into a new body

2:28:28 twins are like pretty close that Thomas Campbell podcast was to me the most I knew what you were when I called you and I couldn't get to you when I was The showdown let's go Superman trailers and fucking all that geek shit, but I enjoyed I enjoyed St. Pierre on the other day nice and yeah They strap you in on your chest, so you can't move and you can run in any direction, left, right,

2:31:53 I didn't get hooked up yet And I'm in a house of women man, like my wife my three daughters. They're watching the fucking master or something You see like a flash of light like oh Who told you they made it? No, they have it. They made it illegal No, it is. Find it. Find that. Virtual shiz where he hones Does he shoot for takedowns? Francis had him shoot more surprise

2:35:50 Because you can control it with topical Dude, that was the most disgusting shit. First of all, the mats were disgusting. They were I had cancer. Dracus. Don't fuck around with something that doesn't like if it keeps bleeding But it looks like you're wearing black face He does fight and then Jerkus goes and you look like the one driving it that's funny

2:39:21 Honest guy and he said and he's saying it fucked with him You know, I'm sure it did I have to say that that Strickland stands pretty straight up fight too yeah and he might have been compromised with that with that eye so he definitely was but Give the guy a few hours, you know, you're not allowed to do But I think IV NAD is the most potent form of it. You take a lot of stuff. That's right, bitch

2:41:31 Sorry guys, I know you're approaching the other one, but I'm 50. for this fight. I'm fucking fired up. I can't was. I'm sweating. I'm getting ready for this fight. I'm fucking One shot. Fortnite. But then that dude vai he's off that's now in MMA who beat him in glory in his last fight close fight of a Sambo background. Alex puts people into night-night land and Vahitov. Yeah he won by TKO. Vahitov is fucking good man

2:45:04 Mean so many times guys arms go numb, and you just don't know it because they're still moving around Sean's really good at checking his kicks but it's not checking these. Well he does that same style of checking kicks that Pereira does where he kind of hacks, Really smart. The old feeling out stage and that but that move that he's doing He's certainly landing more kicks. Yeah, right

2:47:54 Mean he's got a giant fight coming up. He's still riding motorcycles He's just got to do something significant other than just touch him Right. I mean, it's a distance thing. It's a you know, it's a power thing He is, but he's getting his legs chewed up, man. he was on antibiotics Have you ever heard of anything that the guys take? DDP Because once Strickland starts committing, he's going to start shooting.

2:51:11 Yeah, he's gotta do something big. he's catching his elbow yeah but still that's horrible dude yeah it's He's every time he goes to set up what she sets up with everybody DDP is just constantly doing this That's a fast front check. He needs to get DDP to start engaging in a boxing slugfest He's having a way better round though. He's getting in the zone now, man.

2:54:14 Spanking rounds and it's gonna take Sean's legs away from him if he keeps doing it It's interesting because he's so good, but it's like such a specific attack, but he's so good at oh It is crazy when you look at Sean style like who fucking fights like this stands totally straight up Yeah He's got it. He's like I'm sure Nick six letting him know and DDP is gonna keep doing it

2:56:42 Yep, something to be said for that cuz it's like the majority of his training Oh nice. That little stutter step. See that little stutter step? But as it gets into the pace if trick it No, he could do it. You think we'll ever see Connor in the US? It's just DDP does not give you much chance to set up man That's a nice kick to the body Yeah, but so does dracus. That's the problem there. It is. He's got to like do something put a stamp on this round

3:01:10 I'm just surprised Duplessis isn't going for like a singular. It was hard low kick We got to open up take some chances not taking He's gotta get fucking he he looks alone. He's gotta get going tired actually there He's losing rounds. He doesn't seem to be following up that right hand. You want to hurt him you're gonna be there to get hurt, but you're not to take that chance

3:04:23 What did he just him with that? I don't know man, but all sudden it's getting weird nose that nose is a mess Reckless. Man. Big rest by DDP. Well Sean's nose is destroyed. Yeah. If he touches him there one More significant damage done too. Can't breathe fuck this shit. You must be like just these aren't audio fuck this night hand And dude He hasn't done one thing that really rocked him now significant by

3:08:49 Gotta take chances fucking coaching push that push that Yeah, he's got a pro even if the wide punches just throw but he's so responsible defensively He's landed the bigger shots for sure. Yeah, that's next Oh really? Yeah, he was born. Yeah, he's more something with his to his bottom teeth So he's had a few of them replaced before hopefully they did a good job this time a new grill that screwed him in deep

3:11:32 Oh, he tried for a guillotine. Yes, he is. From? He's a black belt. Yes, yes he is. That's it. But the thing is, like, he just hit him again on that nose. So he's got his mouth open. know or else like if this was flipped and you tell DDP hey you gotta get him at middleweight against DDP. That would have been very interesting. I was wrong. I was right for America smart money

3:15:12 It was that big right hand that changed everything. There's a nice elbow a spinning elbow this one right here Fucking yeah He's a tough puzzle to figure out. Very tough fight to figure out. Big fucker for 185 too. Yeah. Yeah, that was my game plan. That's gonna be a different game. Oh, yeah, that's a night night when you touch game. Yeah, it's a very different game

3:19:35 I hate what fighters that's when they say too soon. Yeah, talk about that tomorrow. Maybe maybe DC asks them I would definitely ask him Was there anything that was surprising about Drake's and his rematch that you didn't experience in fight number one? He kicked my ass very square, dropped the hit. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Sean Stricken.

3:20:54 All right. Oh, man. Good times. thought he was gonna give him problems and feet, fast as shit. I thought He didn't do that to Kamaru Usman. He didn't do it to Gilbert Burns. We go in the third fourth and fifth Drake is fight of a good wrestler and comes out one of the best and you gotta think his endurance is probably gonna be better at 85 than it was at 70 because of the cut yeah for

3:23:09 Yeah, I think it's no American now I mean it's not like Shotgun. Oh, yeah, he was the closest to ending it great. Yeah, he's well-rounded great Yeah, I think that he said something is a way to do it like I think number one lightweight arm on secret and Michael Chandler are jugs of water out of his body It's so crazy. Oh shit me. Well now this guy's

3:26:20 Was boy. Oh, yeah, that's right. That guy's good, dude. I'm telling you, Buckley at one of six foot five. Six five. How did he lose that fight? He had a good spar with ajo at Longo's. Really? Super technical. He's going to be a doctor. Let's see what his training clip looks like see oh you know what I'm saying? Yes he does. and Tatiana Swann 2019 was his last fight that's crazy that's six years ago

3:29:46 and I don't this career to late in his career. and do all that wild shit. If't know where there's a PFL heavyweight that snapped his shin and came back and fought well well the sound yes and he said he put it in her lap because oh I started doing poor I heard something right in there and I rainy Aldana. Remember that fight in the sphere where it was like a hatchet

3:33:13 No, not much compete with that. That's Add us off and everything but whoo. Yeah, she had that fucking she locked her up tight and that top pressure was nasty rip crack pop and Mikey was like it was disgusting like why'd you make me do months back 100% 100% oh that he's all that that arm was just stopping them It was almost like a throwback where one guy's using more standing up

3:36:19 So like, what are the big fights that are coming up next? Let's go You know, well he gets excuse me And so he took a shot. Drikus, two guys go up. Yeah, yes March let me see what else is on that card. Oh That guy's good when is that he was but he can't he wants to come back Appreciate the invite man. Oh, it's good on YouTube. Yeah. Thank you. I'm so glad you're doing a podcast, dude
