Transcript

0:00 bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum He went straight keto. Ari Shaffir is probably the worst I've ever seen. cravings, you're gonna have headaches. I haven't had shit. Um, matter of fact, I work out more. It's like the little insulin when you check your blood sugar? I think most guys do it in their pinky. Dude, I don't give a fuck. said fuck it man i'm in mexico i'm on vacation i'm gonna go off my diet i'm gonna have some

3:15 And I was thinking about how much you do. I could drink six cappuccinos before I go to bed and sleep just fine, just fine. 12-step program, son. Quest Labs sent us a bunch of stuff when they found out that we were. Like they have crackers. Those aren't really carbs. I feel good. You take this, and you mix that with water, and it puts you in a state of ketosis really rapidly, like within an hour.

5:13 Be just fine. Almonds, man. Oh, you're saying they're not shelled. Okay. Well, you're saying it makes total sense. I don't like just regular sunflower seeds. Is that weird? And just eat that shit while I watch TV see I'll do a mix little macadamia nuts cashews all unsalted That made me fucking laugh. pounds you lose obviously i'm not a doctor are supposed to be just your body adjusting to uh

8:00 And the spike in insulin is fucking real, man. while to get used to was so much mct oil yeah you gotta be careful with that though i texted There's no third gear. Yeah, if you want to clean out the pipes, you don't need a colonic. My mouth started watering. That shit is. It hurts to keep my butt tight. Be actually in a position where you have to tap.

10:51 They're here to see you. oh like a year ago But that's what you have to do. And I go, what happened? There's some steps you got to take. I might have a baseball hat in there. I mean, I would have just... This is a blockbuster. Oh, boy. Here we go. Your butt knows. But you know, before you see, Oh, for sure. There's that diarrhea feeling. It's complicated.

14:49 Some foods are just, It is complicated, though. So easy on the MCT oil, kids. Yeah, you'll piss out your asshole. Coconut oil is nice. how many, what were you thinking? See, I knew. I thought it was just blowing everything out. Why is that? How the fuck does that work? Sorry, man. Jon Jones and Demetrius Mighty Mouse Johnson, fighting on a card this weekend, and no one's talking about it.

18:27 I think he has to be on another level because he's so small. you still had the same fight with Daniel Cormier. You could argue that. These are very good points. no, no, his next fight they said I actually think it's better for the sport. Why do you say that? Aldo's never been bigger now. in MMA today. I mean, arguably question is, is that cut How about Rumble back when he used to go down from

21:52 still though i'm just saying you better better know your weight cuts yeah i think there was a to think he's going to go left he's going to go right he's going to punch you in the face while Let's see the one guy who's beat me, Dominic Cruz, is the freaking Irish cat. I forget his name. English guy. But he just needs to get on the mic and create some sort of hype.

23:50 Well, I wonder, though. and then they fight again. Get it on the mic. let's say he fights Benavidez and Benavidez beats him, you want Benavidez, Mighty Mouse. I wanted to see Cejudo versus a real veteran. But then if, let's say he fights Benavidez As an excitement junkie You don't stifle Dodson. He was on EPO and he out-cardioed him. And they're 125 pounds.

25:49 As a guy looking at what's best for him, because he's going to fight, right? We're not that far off ten pounds at 125 those actually that is a lot of weight because it was a hundred pounds some actual weight. The issue is his cruise, right? 100%. And both guys are light years past where they were then. So you're watching this guy keep TJ active, you gotta keep Dominic

28:01 I'm almost positive. But that'd be a weird thing to make up. I believe you. So the winner gets that title shot. making money off of Twitch. Is he making money Yeah, you got to be tiny, but you can emulate a version of it at 170. He's fighting MMA now. Who the fuck's going to- And Randleman came at him with the punch and just leapt at him. Joe Schilling, sorry.

30:24 He's worried about the takedown. Yes, and so he's open to knockouts so you'll see him get Not only are you not stopping the takedown, but he doesn't give a fuck about exciting fights. I'm hoping Bellator brings it up because they have Bellator kickboxing now. ESPN is also carrying Glory. gone to war and have this crazy history behind them, where Marcus stopped him in one fight

32:25 When he uncorked that right hand and you see Simon Marcus go out, you're like, holy shit. for it. I'm like, I can't wait. No one does it better than them. I was watching like, well, okay. Yeah. All Access? And that guy's voice, is it Lee Shriver? If Liam Neeson was doing a voiceover for something, you would know it's Liam Neeson. I'd do anything for him.

35:44 And Jamie brought it up that Conor announced his retirement. He'd be able to put it out better than that. Yeah, it's going to happen. No, I don't either. Like, he's not a guy where when any other fighters sit down and do an interview, they're really not selling the fight. He was exhausted. is bad playing him bad playing on dana if he just went dude listen i've sold this fight more than

38:29 And when do those responsibilities only in showing up places, physically, old school, And I think he made a really good point about that Yeah they don't The girls like that. This is not a guy you can half-ass. We're three months away, though. And the UFC, if I'm looking at it as a businessman, I go, all right, man. and you want me to go do a fucking interview for espn well they don't know the sport

41:30 i just go no well you know you you have all good points all all valid points and i get there's He's not as big as Conor. is that Conor But let's say Conor He's not going to fight at 170, I don't think. Maybe half. And I love me. He's the biggest there's no doubt about it. He's the biggest It was crazy. There's no food or water. Habib Negamedov versus Nate Diaz.

43:47 No, you're right. And when I see a guy like Conor who comes in once in a lifetime, if you think there's a matter of digging your heels into the ground and saying, there's no way I can do this much press. Ronaldo, You say anything, You're not doing it for the Conor McGregor brand. You're not doing for the fighters brand you think by him going to ESPN

45:35 Will you please let me focus? You have certain people in the UFC roster where they pick and choose when they fight or who they fight. It's the number one thing that wrecks you. You know. I mean mean think how much you travel dude i just i just flew in from seattle and what's the amount that you should do. Right. It's a pay-per-view. If they have pay-per-view buys and they get a percentage of the buys, it increases pay-per-view buys. It helps everyone.

47:20 I would assume. And the contract should state from X to Y, you know, pick a date and time. I think it's just a miscommunication. I think you gotta do the press. Nate Diaz or he loses Nate Diaz Maybe they haven't. It's total speculation. No other fighter can. Like no one even close. So if he does a movie, he'll do a movie, and they'll say, oh, great, and you can use your 5.8 million social media followers, and it'll boost up the movie.

50:18 yeah because there's a That's a business on the side. That's his that's his like You're right in that respect. And I love the attention he's getting. If Aldo, whoever Aldo does, you know, they mix it all up, fight a rematch with Aldo. I think it takes some of the star power away. But he was an assassin before that fight. Never seen anything like it.

53:03 he's also a guy where i think if he wanted to if he was involved with the ufc let's say dana which And when he flatlined the longtime king, he fucking did it. to present or to prepare himself because he had to do all this press shit. Nate had 11 days to prepare. the size and length and deceptive boxing skills. And this is not a fight you want to take even if he's not ready on 11 days notice.

55:22 I know, man. It stresses me out. If there's no Conor, Nate doesn't make the same payday. And you got to appreciate that, man. And I was, it's funny, I keep quoting this and Nick corrected me the other day. swim well this motherfucker is a stoner and an athlete he's not even a prisoner don't fucking Did he go through the prep camp? What? He's like, what the fuck?

57:49 I think we just scooped the shit out of this story. Well, he would most certainly save the card. There'd be full of just fucking... Didn't like the disrespect. go on seek and destroy mode and he was so good at it man when he fucked up bj he fucked up fitch and then walked over to the wall and fucking punched it afterwards. Yeah, well, I'm excited to see what that looks like.

59:57 your ass mollywhopped in there. You wouldn't be there that Do you think that would be Nate versus GSP if Conor doesn't do the card? Is Brendan Schaub the reasonable one? I like everyone. We'll see. I like both guys. Aldo versus Edgar. I can't wait for that. I can't wait for that. I want to see what Frankie can do And Tate versus Nunes, come on, son.

1:02:12 That's what we're talking about, bro. But goddamn, she's got some pop. at what point do we see him age? base. Good footwork and movement. I think for him because we saw him the Travis Brown then we got poked in the eye. Does he need a fire suit? But whenever a guy gets poked in the eye, here against Kane. We really don't know I'll tell you, Dickon, it's fine.

1:04:53 We should probably go early. He definitely looked tired. Stylistically-wise, he's a bad matchup. matchup for him. So yeah, he lost. When I saw that fight, I went, tough fight for Kane. Yeah, the odds are stacked against him. He's got momentum behind him. That was a wild-ass fight. Mousasi and Brunson. It's a tough matchup, man. And this is an opportunity to really erase the Magnum fight

1:07:44 I agree. There's going to be some blood the canvas special. I agree. You know what they do during the Fox fights? And you're like, are you fucking shitting me? That is weird. Yeah, they're like airbrushing nipples over there. For sure. There's a little bit of blood. do the blood. Fucking go. during a fight have to match That's because that's what it really feels like to me

1:10:36 It's hilarious. No, why would the lawsuits come? In ten years if someone's fucking- Prove it. Prove it. Just don't do it anymore It's for like shit the rest of the day. just goes out there between the rounds I agree. Everyone's coughing. on his shirt and shit and he's scrubbing the mats. Can you imagine if they had former fighters cleaning the octagon and waving to the crowd with broken hands?

1:12:46 Once you're an all-time great, you cannot he was going to help hey, he's not too big for cleaning the blood. Knee pads. Dependables. Oh, you better stop right now. If Randy does that job, I will, fuck that. Give me that brush. You'll do it too? if you hear him talk, you would never think, And it's not like he didn't lose by knockout a few times. I mean, he had been knocked out by Chuck Lesnar bad Lesnar Lesnar was a TKO but Chuck was bad man Chuck

1:15:17 So does Tito Ortiz. You know, there's a lot of guys that made it through and you talk to them and they seem absolutely fine. It's crazy. How much of it is based on reality and how much of it is a dramatic i looked i looked into it afterwards i mean you they were trying to fuck him over, They can't get any bigger. I need to watch it so I know exactly. You need to watch it.

1:17:02 And I went, I'm fucked. But yeah, man, that movie, I'm fucking. ah, it can't be healthy for my brain, you know? haven't we haven't really developed the ability to absorb punishment. Big ass bones. We're becoming pussies. They own two days. and people might miss it, They're getting way bigger. Do they test for shit in the NFL? I agree. fucking ruthless but how many wwe athletes die like china just died what last night two nights

1:21:30 But she did one thing and after she got out of this thing, she goes, who's the man? Victorious. Why I know that's not my idea. Look at her muscles. Was it pills? Nice to everybody. because these guys are passing away. They look at it as sort of like an entertainment thing these people are doing. So when they pass away, I think there has to be some sort of plan in place, I think.

1:23:57 no no i'm just saying no no no what they do with their bodies she's on pain pills oh yeah i'm sure I just think it's something to look into with the WWE guys. abuse concussions they get a shitload of concussions it could be a lot of I don't know how you could. Oh, okay. China. Who is he fighting? i don't watch half of the bellator ones i don't even watch half of them i know i know they're

1:26:38 I feel like, dude, you set us back, man. I don't feel like that. Yeah. If they did the right thing and promoted it the right way, they went for big ratings on Correct. And the other problem is that for whatever reason, I don't know what the reason is, Monsters, man. And I think it would boost the sport, whereas it would make the sport bigger. close still though yeah still a win he's beat gustafson that's true he strangled him yeah yeah

1:29:11 And maybe he's off to a new start. guys that they've acquired need a stable yeah well it would have been interesting if they got fade or it would have been interesting I don't know. I like that matchup. But I'm saying for him, there's a resurgence of all these older fighters. If he still has that motivation. I'm just saying. Because physically I'm going for looks here.

1:31:47 I agree. and his ability to explode with combinations. What age is he? No? UFC offered Fedor Milianenko more money than rising probability to fight inside the octagon No, those are just big ass. a lot bigger than they do. walking the octagon? No one really knew who he was. crystal ball all right it's all right from here but i'll just move on what do you think of osp

1:34:41 Well, sort of, but not really. Like the Terminator. Let's figure something else out, bro. Come on, son. How about that? Me neither. Yeah, son. You got a minefield But when you start talking like that, I want you to look at the top three because Glover Anthony and John Jones will rip your dick off and Look, hey, past six. Yeah. Well Gustafson stopped him before the rumble fight in a very important fight. Why they do them like that

1:38:10 and like at heavyweight i mean there's fun matchups everyone's old as fuck though really and they create a bit of a bottleneck because they're so good. Six legit world beaters. 185. What he did was totally, he was actually honest. he ain't that young. Those are ridiculous people. would get a fight. But that's just an proved himself to be the better fighter.

1:41:18 at number 8. The only thing you can do He put him four I mean, you might not like Conor. No one can take your word for anything. That's in Brazil, brother. That's a very intense card. She deserves some sort of award right fucking now. They're not even ready. That's an interesting fight, man. Look at how many times has Overeem been stopped. Bigfoot Silva.

1:44:00 Who else is on this weekend? Every girl in the division is like, fuck. She's a big girl. I mean, that was the whole thing. Or Elite X that, though? Gina Carano did it in Strikeforce. You can build a division around Gina Carano when she looks like that. You can do it. Box tattoo. You may get a catchweight fight because Leslie is brave enough to take that challenge.

1:45:49 Let's say she does decent though, but all your superstars at 135 something just do these super fight So that would be the fight. she's got that style of forward is tailor-made for Holly. She did a lot of punishment. Cyborg lost by decision. Yeah, world champion. I would like to see it, I'll tell you that. Because we're trying to build up 115, 125, right?

1:48:26 The only thing that would change is and they really concentrate, you know, six-month sprawl Miriam Nakamoto, like someone but I think that's what we saw in the Barge fight with Cyborg. Just Holly. And of course, you want to J-check, but she's a smaller weight class. This is the inaugural fight, right? Yeah, but if she does, if she wins, right? Oh, she's Bellator.

1:50:48 You have to do a super fight with Misha or Holly to create the buzz around Cyborg. He's a dangerous guy. yeah yeah yeah rodriguez and andrew feely that's another fucking badass fight It's hilarious. young he's brash damn Andre threw up when I was interviewing him. Again, Conor's taking the spotlight a little bit. I would almost guarantee they do. They come with that

1:53:15 Push it in. That's what I believe in. and I think Dana and the UFC brass are going to figure it out. So OSP's best chance for this weekend, he's got to win by knockout. with a lot of pressure on him. Wow. T-fat-K-3-D, that's the new one? All right, I'll be back in a little bit with another one.
