George Janko is the KANYE of Syria | TFATK Ep. 883

Transcript

Now I've run down six. Oh, yeah, what's up there? It's Monday morning, April 22nd, and it is nine twenty three a.m. on the frickin dot. How are you guys? I can't hear you. All good, hope you have a fun day at work, it's Monday. We're all doing it, man, and we're all frickin doing it. Coming hot off a busy Sunday, the only Sunday, my kiddos didn't have a baseball game. It was doubleheader on Saturday and Sunday. Thank God, I just lined up. It was Ford Forever Day at Arrandale racetrack and then also the Mopar car show, which was in Encino. So I was able to check that out. Got a lot of ideas about my lightning there. If you are a lightning fan, this is the place for you. They had so many dope cars. Steve Saleen was there, if you know, selling mustangs, he's the creator of selling. Got to meet him. Line was not short, but they wanted a way. They didn't know who he was. Once I told them, they go down. We got to meet them because cars were all behind them. There's a new sailing there, which was dope, but it's fun, man. They saw actual drag races because it's a drag strip. Arrandale is a drag strip, so they saw cars going and they don't realize that like they're seeing cars go five seconds, quarter mile, six seconds, quarter mile like a demon. Do that like. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. We sure as heck can't. But Yemen, some dope a*s rides. That's my boy's lightning. It is. It's a lot, it's a lot, it's dope, that's the new sailing there, a paint off the thing so filthy. That's a real AC cobra. I love that my kids know the cars when they see it. That makes me so happy. That was one of my favorites because it has the king shocks on it. Senator King's. That Lightning's ridiculous, because as a seven point three Godzilla motor swamp in it and an entire, I should post the interior, then tear is so wild that's a generation one lightning in prime condition. I wish I had that square body obese. That's my demon. Nice. Yeah. A them from vipers, they love vipers because they play GranTurismo, that's how they learn most about their cars. Then original road runner, of course they like that because it has a. Looney Tunes character on it, so they love that one. But there was a nice little sun. It was hot out. It was freakin toasty. Basti, instead of saying he's tired of goes down. My legs are barbecued. Oh, what is that going barbecued? My God, I did. He a pick me up, Mike. It's so hot. It's so hot, dude. Oh my god. Sport kids are looking at 20 year old lightnings and you know, they went to see Ferraris and Bugatti's, I'm sure. Just Ford Lightning strike. Okay, we got it. I'm like, You don't, though, I need you. Appreciate this. But let's get right into it, man. The talk to the weekend was Ryan Garcia beating Devin Haney. My word. Now you watched the right and we were texting about it. Yeah, it was incredible. And you were probably watching golf case, but you caught up on it. I was asleep because I had an early tee time, so I didn't stay. I wasn't even, oh, my court case. Yeah, because I ended around like 10, 30 years. You know, I like to watch all the post-fight stuff, so I didn't get bit late for me. I could have been at 11. I was like, Oh my God, still woke up at five. Um yeah. I, you know, one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, I think. You know, going into it, you're going to hear a lot of people in this space, whether they're made heads or box and heads. Some people say, Oh, I call it, you definitely didn't know. Some people saying, Oh, you guys that peaked against Ryan, you owe him an apology. We definitely don't. That doesn't make sense because you'll again you'll see on social media from just, you know, casual fans or general fans go, Yo, Ryan was trolling everybody. And that's right. But it's also wrong, because did Ryan have an issue going into this fight that caused concern? Absolutely. Did he troll it up? Like, did he just amplify that to mess with Devin Haney? Yes. Did it work? Yes. So you're right and you're wrong. If your takeaway is, this is all in troll job. It's not all a troll job, because even Ryan Garcia said post-fight, I drank every night, I drank every single night, which is wild. So he goes, I drank every night. He was out of clubs the week prior to the fight. That's not normal. That is not someone who is at his level. That's not what they do. And someone asked him why he was drinking so much. And he said, to get away from my personal life to what the chaos going on. So was part of this a troll job when it comes to the game plan and dealing with Devin Haney? Yes, and that worked. But there's also a cause for concern that his personal life is in shambles, and he has talked about mental health before. So you can be right and still be wrong if you think this is a troll job. I think. It wasn't planned that this was going to turn into what it did. I think his team wasn't aware of some of the stuff that he was going to post and all these kind of weird videos that cause concern of him going into this fight and. It wasn't a the media, was it me, his even his close personal team, remember they took his phone from him and wanted to get him evaluated. So that's not some of that stuff is real there in brains of friends. So there's concern there. That's what I was worried about for the people saying he shouldn't have never been allowed to fly. Remember going into this, a lot of Emei and boxing experts go. Anybody else? They would have pulled him from the card? He shouldn't. He's not of right mind all that stuff for the information that we got. You're right, but you're also wrong because we're not in that inner circle and also the commission and Oscar De La Hoya. Their reputations and their risks and liabilities are on the line as well. So clearly they know more than us. So just the fact that they let the fight go on should tell you something. That being said, it's boxing, so you never know. But again, was it a complete troll job? No. Did it work for him? Yes. So I think if he were to lose this, the narrative today would be, I can't believe Oscar allowed them to fight. Can't believe the coach won the fight, but he pulled it off. So now everyone's going, Oh yeah, it's the best job ever, and I don't subscribe to that. I literally think Bryan does have a lot of issues going on in his personal life. You talked about the divorce, talked about drinking every night. This isn't normal. Ryan behavior remains a very, very good kid. A savage. So I think for Ryan, too, is he does better when all the pressure is on him. When all his chips are in the center, he does better and this got him there and we saw it in his performance and shout to him. I also think. Two things happened. I think we undervalued Brian Garcia's talent. I sure did. And maybe Garcia and I'm sorry, the Davonte Davis fight did that for us, I'm not sure, but somewhere along the lines, we devalued how good Ryan Garcia is, and we also overvalued how good Devin Haney is. And if you look at his resume in hindsight, there's some things you can see in the, you know, he's undefeated ranked number five or six in the pound for pound listing. So he's doing something right. But you can see in those big wins that he had the Lomachenko Linares fight, you know, he's fighting older guys. So now that we've seen him at, you know, in the Ryan Garcia fight and you look back like, OK, the Cambosa fight, Linares fight, there's some stuff you can see there how he was going to lose against Ryan Garcia. Because if you think about when would Janko Linares Kambosos, you know? He struggled when a guy, even if they weren't as quick. He struggled with a little bit. He got clipped in lot of those fights. He had certain issues, then figured it out and was able to take over and win by decision. You know, he's not a finisher, he's a he. He out points, guys. He is the best job in the business. So in hindsight, especially being Monday quarterback, you, I can see. All right. Ryan was the quicker fighter was the kind of besides Regis progress. He was the guy that at his age. So he signed on at his caliber and he lost the fight. I think Ryan won for multiple reasons. You know, it was calculated that Ryan was going to come in overweight, which I think was brilliant and it's been done before. This isn't new. It's been done before, but that was a calculation of his team and I think their cover up more than we know. I think they're going, Yeah, we did it on purpose. So he wasn't cut and weight and all that stuff. Great and all good. And you're not going to get the bells. We can win the fight now you get bigger fights. So that was the smart move. But to pretend that he missed weight and that was the plan from the jump. I don't know if I buy it. I think his team saw him drinking, was aware of the issues he had and realized, All right, if we go into this and you cut three pounds, we have no shot. Clearly, cardio wise, he was not prepared for 12 rounds. He even said that. So I think it worked out for him. I think his team was smart about it and goes, This was all calculated missing weight, be the bigger fire, not drain himself. But I also think that was their only option. That was their only option. And again, cardio wise, massive issue for him. You know, even with that being said, he still beat Devin Haney. Some people are too close. You'll hear some people say a draw. Even one of the judges had a draw. I don't see that. I definitely thought Garcia won, but it's boxing, so you never know. And you know, Haney's, you know, they're golden child right now. But I just thought it was very clear. But not only this is my takeaway from all this. And even, you know, more apologized to Ryan. All signs point that this wouldn't go well for him. With all the research we have all the fight footage, we have all the shenanigans, shenanigans leading up to this fight. All signs point that this wasn't going to go well for him. But that being said, even though Ryan drank every night, you know, he has a great coach that came in with a great game plan, they took away Haiti's jab, which is insane. Nobody's ever been able to accomplish that. All that being said, my mind goes to. If Ryan can figure out his personal life and get focused. A Ryan who drank every single night with no cardio that came in three pounds overweight destroyed Devin Haney. What would he have done if he was focused and had good cardio? He would have finished him. Ryan really only fought five rounds out of the 12. He took a lot of rounds off because he didn't have the cardio. So what would have Ryan look like if he actually was properly prepared like a professional and didn't have all these, you know, outside issues and was able to focus on this fight? Now it could be a Jon Jones thing where when I see Jon Jones doing all the right things and you know, and going to bed early and training like he should, I go, Oh. This ain't good because John thrives under chaos. Rain might be one of the guys that thrives under chaos, which isn't a good thing. It's not a good thing. So Brian had, I think if he was in better shape, could have definitely finish this fight before it went to the judges scorecards. Hands down, he could've finished him. He probably should have if that ref wasn't. So I don't know what's going on there. I don't know if he had a bet on Haney. I don't know. Not give him a guy a warning and allowing Haney just to hang all over him. And then, you know, take a point from Garcia was strange to me. You know, they're allowed to do that. But no warnings. A little dicey. And then also, you know. He would call knock down certain knocked down, clearly knock down slips and wasn't given Ryan the credit for it. So even that like rain, rain was still able to figure out a way to beat them is insane. Like Ryan, Logit had five knockdowns, five knockdowns and really only fought five or six rounds. Still beat them undefeated, go. And I'm also, you know, going in this fight, there's no one more disciplined than Devin Haney doesn't drink, goes bad early trends, whether he has a fight or not, him and his dad are the most disciplined duo in the sport. And he's super talented now, is he is naturally gifted as Ryan, no, is he as naturally gifted as Shakur Stevenson? No. Is he naturally gifted as Javonte Davis? No. But he's the most disciplined and he's the most prepared out of all those guys. So I usually side with that guy at a world class level, even though he's not as talented. He has enough talent. And if he has that dedication, I'm usually going to side with that guy, especially at this level of fighting. But Ryan was able to pull it out. And I think, you know, leading up to it, the trolling did kind of take Devin Haney out of his usual game plan. They didn't have an answer for his left hook, which is wild. You know, again, his dad is a great coach and the number one thing you know, when you get matched up with Ryan Garcia, even a casual would go better. Avoid that left hook. They had no answer for it. He didn't go to the body a lot. He has the best job in boxing. He has the very best jab in boxing and he really wasn't an issue here. Ryan's team figured out how to take that away with the counters right away, which you would think they would assume he would do that in game planning. You know, just like you would assume Devin Haney would be able to kind of navigate through the left hook of Ryan Garcia, but they didn't. They never made any adjustments, and that thing landed multiple times. So it was a it was a perfect storm for Haney to lose this fight. Perfect storm. It's probably better for the boxing world. Ryan's a much bigger star. A lot of big fights for him now. I would like to see them do the fight. I think 140s over for Garcia, especially depending how he chooses to live his life moving forward. I think 140s over him. You know, 147. Probably a rematch is next in the books for him with Devin Haney, and I still think Ryan would probably be an underdog in that fight. Depends how the judges want to do it. What I would do in you guys are going to hate me for this, but I'm just I'm just thinking, how can we make the most money possible? I would do. They've talked about and he's the guy in again. His team could pull this off, I would do Jake Paul fight for the most money possible because who knows how long Jake Paul is going to be big and, you know, kind of the face of this YouTube boxing that he's doing? Who knows how long he's me? So let's say beats Mike Tyson. Jake gets even bigger. If you want the most money possible and I assume Ryan be a massive favorite in that fight, even though he's undersized, and it wouldn't really count against your record. Not really. You know, you can put any belts on the line or anything like that, even though Ryan doesn't have them because he missed weight, he forfeited the belts. So I think that would put him on the map and make him even bigger star. And there's even more money there. And also the longer that goes on, we don't know how long for Jake Paul loses again. So there's that so he could fight a Jake Paul and then do a Haney rematch. That's what I would do. There's some other names out there. You hear people talk about Manny Pacquiao or something like that. You know, he's called out Terence Crawford. I wouldn't do something like that right now. I'd make the most money possible. Jake Paul's that fight, you know, especially coming off of Mike Tyson win. Or, you know, most likely, his decision. There's no judges in that fight for Tyson, Jake Paul. So you could do that. You know, it's massive p.r. way to do it with Netflix. Massive. Massive, massive. A lot of money. That's what I would do. But. Yeah, just to say that it was a troll job, you're allowed to do that, but to pretend there's not actual issues going on with Ryan, you're crazy. There's a lot there. You know, there's a lot still confused on that one, do you like? Yeah, he's like the best actor in the world or like, I don't know what's happening. No, but I think it's easy for anybody who loves Ryan, which I love, right? Absolutely adore Ryan is the best one of the best people you meet. But to pretend that there's not some issue going on there and this is all acting, you're out of your mind. And I think his brother and his ex-wife or whatever or baby mom or whatever, right? So his brother even put on Instagram or Twitter like, you know, he's really in trouble. Is this and that? And then after the fight, he's like, Yeah, he know he's always good this that. His family problems. Yeah, they're trying to come, I don't know, it's so trippy, too, but I mean, it's pretty easy to see what's going on here. Yeah, well, and hopefully figures it out. But as far as boxing goes like he was, so he did a lot of things. You know, a lot of great things, you know, he really dialed in and you know, a lot of credit should go to his coaches and his new coaches. And they did a great job, especially with, you know, going against Devin Haney. But you know, and that being said, like I said, I'm really only five about five rounds beat the breaks off of them, which is insane. So I'm just wondering if if a well-conditioned Ryan's in there, what happens? He finishes them. But again, I bet you the odds makers, I think Ryan beats them again. But I think the odds makers will have run as a dog. They all Devin just wasn't, you know, he wasn't fighting his style and he was out of pocket and he'll he'll make. He'll fix the mistakes, but you will. Bet you he will. That kid is a savage, trains his a*s off, so the next flight would be a lot more competitive on both ends, on both ends. The thing about Ryan, he's turning his back on. You don't see how I was going to ask you about that weird, weird mark. Yeah. Skin punched like rabbit punches in the back of the liver kidneys. But it was great. It was unreal. My girl, you know, she loves boxing. I toasted Ryan Garcia's fight in the night, and she wasn't aware of any of the antics of like, just look into it. She's like, Oh my God, I see, I know. It's it's like some of it's drawn. I think some of it's a cry for help, so it's tough. What state of mind is going to be in going into this fight? So we'll see. So I also just think Ryan wanted it more. He talked about like, I'm ready to die in there, like he knew, like this was it, and you lose this one. It gets weird and not in a good way. So I think Ryan knew, like his career and reputation was on the line, you know, so I just think he does very, very well when all the chips are stacked against him. That's what he needs, but he needs to figure out how to get to that place mentally without doing this, because although it worked, this time, you're playing a weird game and it worked this time. All right, let's learn from it, and let's not go through that again. But you know, you start fighting like he wants Terence Crawford. Like this s**t ain't going to work. We need you to be firing on all cylinders. So work this time you did it cool. Biggest name in box right now, no doubt. But it. You can't do this every time you got you got you got it work this time. I don't think you can continue to do it. I'll say that. Great photo, yeah, but yeah, like I say, my girl loves Box, and when she looked into it and then she was like, Hey, things, if I can go. You know, Debbie, Devin Haney paid a lot of jabbing runs, come out hard and probably gas out, you know, because he hasn't been training, which he has. But you know, he's also been drinking and doing some wild s**t. So I think comes out hard if he doesn't land you and get 12 rounds of a solid jab and it goes the decision, and that's not what we got. This fight was very entertaining. Even though Ryan to grounds off is super irritating and Devin Haney tough as hell, man like that dude literally got dropped five times. They scored at three, but he got dropped five times that ruffian. Then you could see Devin Haney was just hanging on for dear life like that 12th that last round. The 12th round he was, he didn't go for broke. He was like, There, thank God, I didn't get knocked down, you know? But it was interesting. Super interesting. Fun fight. Stick a little break from talking. Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia and the UFC shenanigans. Dana addressed them in a video because the 82 game season is in the books and it's finally time for the real season. We talk in playoffs playoffs.

All right, so this is a this is pretty this is interesting, so Dana, why does a thing on Charles Dana White? So Dana White does this thing on UFC 200. He basically made like his version of a distract of all the people in my immediate not all. He left out a few, but some of the people and me media who were kind of critiquing UFC 300. And so he plays this video and I think this was on Saturday, April 23, when he did this yesterday. So I was at my I was coaching my son's baseball game and my phone was on vibrate, didn't like these little cubbies in the dugout. I can hear just in like, Oh Jesus, I never checked my phone during the games on my phone's blowing up all these people text me our boy Keno George, tax me. And I was like, What is it? And he's like, Oh, just watch Dana, you know, talking s**t again and then mayhem, text me. You know, he was like, So upset and oh my god, must be bad. Oh, this isn't good. I hate you guys know by now, if you've watched me long enough, I don't like beef. I don't like any of this stuff. I was like, Oh man, all I do is give you love what happened now. You know, what's he doing now and then? Says UFC hundred with a smiley face, so you can play the video too. What's up, guys? As we rolled into UFC 300 are the experts weighed in on what they thought of UFC 300 and for all the fighters that were on this card when I said it's the greatest card ever assembled in the history of combat sports. This is what the media thought of you guys. It kicked off me. Makes no sense. Is any fight on this card three hundred worthy bout? This is the most diabolically disappointing UFC 300 announcement. They did Jesse dirty, they're kind of thrown together. Does it feel like the culmination? Me and Ariel, I guess we're only told that it's going to knock your socks off. It's going to be amazing. What did Dana say? But we're going to blow their socks off. I wanted my jaw to hit the f**king ground. I did expect a little bit more from the company to blow us away. Nobody got blown away. No, but we need people that know the sport to be running the show because this is pathetic. USD three hundred dollars promoted by I can't ever put together. Five Carter Just in case and Max Holloway for the BMF title, I think is the corniest nonsense on Earth daily jang against John Yang. China's going to get all excited and I don't think anyone else really cares. You will have seen 300 will be a disaster. Are you kidding me? Dana White. The most monumental card that there's ever been. You've had a whole year to prepare for this. Aren't you trying to make sales? Do you want people to actually buy the Pay-Per-View? This ain't it. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a regular decent. Tonight, it's been seen. Going to be here and. You know, videos don't. It is so awesome that he actually replied with respect. So I saw that and then Lord, I put up that shot put. Why bring up old s**t, you know, like you just leave? But fair play, UFC 300 is amazing. And then Dana responded, That's awesome. Hashtag respect. Beautiful. Yeah. I also think where I want to start, I'll say this, you'll see a lot of people saying, Oh, Dana, so Patty, and you know, if I had whatever is $5 billion in the bank, whatever, he has four hundred million in the bank, why is he paying attention to what we say and this? I'm actually not in agreement with that. I think that's what makes Dana great that even though he could walk away now and he has more money than God, that he still pays attention like he's grinding in his basement and that, you know, he's aware of the narrative of all the cards, not just 300, but all the cards. And I think that's what makes them an outlier. When you look at like Roger Goodell, you look at the NBA commissioner or MLB, whatever league and also even other MMO leagues. Nobody cares more than Dana White. So to me, it shows that he's he's not just about money. Yes, he's is. He a ruthless businessman? Yes, you have to be to get to his level and to be a FEMA promoter. But he's a guy that's doing it because he actually cares about the sport and its videos like that that let me know that he cares about the sport. So if you takes like that, why is this guy being so petty has so much money to me? I'm like, Oh, that's dope. That's no. But also in that video, you know, there's a lot of, you know, some of them, I don't know, and that's I'm not throwing shade on anything. Some of them, I don't know. And then like my boy Jesse on fire, that video was him making fun of people critiquing UFC 300. So he was he was doing a bit basically on how stupid is that? People think UFC 300 is bad. And he loves the like, you know, Jesse didn't fight you've of no work for the UFC and I've worked for ESPN Fox. None of this stuff. Jesse goes to the fight, dude. No one loves the UFC more than Jesse. So Hugh, I assume he was probably pretty hurt by that. I wasn't. I wasn't hurt by any of it. I dig it. And good for Dana. Yeah, good for you, man. I think. Again, Jesse's was taken out of context. My you got to realize that my clip in that I think that was probably in January when they first started leaking 300 and then. I think it was like a month or two after that. That's like a month or two prior to the actual fight card because I was going based off when Dana said, this is going to be the greatest fight card you've ever seen. It's going to blow you out of the water. When I did that, I wish they showed me going. I wasn't blown. I'm trying to get blown. I wish they had no god dang it, man. If you're going to use it, use it. So my my critique of it is. I was told my socks would be knocked off. The only fight on there that knocked my socks off was Max Holloway, just just engaging everything else on it, yeah, makes sense. That's all that is. Doesn't mean it wasn't a great card, and the fights we were given at the time that were announced yet to realize UFC 299 was cemented was in the books like We Knew the lineup. And so I was comparing it to 299. Then also, you got to realize is, you know, I'm not these YouTubers or tic talkers or no boys where you know, who are new to the sport. Remember, I was involved in the UFC 100. I got the ultimate fighter house. I was at the UFC expo. I was in GSP hotel room before UFC 100. I remember UFC 100 very well. And if you look at that card, it was a better card than UFC 300. And there was no announcement prior to 100. Like this fight card is going to blow your dick off. There's nothing like that you saw like, Oh my god, that's wild. Wild. UFC 200 card was supposed to be Jon Jones DC. There's you know, they change it, I think on that Wednesday before the Saturday fight, but you see, two hundred was wild. USD three. So I expect USD 300 to beat those, which it's almost it's not fair to Dana, it's almost impossible to beat. You know, Amanda Nunez, Miesha Tate, Brock Lesnar, Mark Hunt, DC Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo, Frankie Edgar Cain Velasquez, Travis Browne. What the heck? T.J. Dillashaw on the undercard? Yeah, Johny Hendricks on the undercard. Yet Gegard Mousasi on the undercard. Yeah. Diego Sanchez Joe logos on Techonomy. Dami Gomi. Yeah, Jim Miller. These are all on the undercard. It's those are wild. So I guess it's my own fault where he goes, we're going to blow your socks. I've never seen anything like this. I was ready to get blown. So and I'm like, Oh my, in my head, I'm like, How the hell are going to be 100 200? So that's on me. You know, I guess that's on me. And right after this deal, 300 was completed, I rank at second, I still think UFC 100 is better. That's no knock on Dana. That's no knock on the UFC. I mean, it literally. I don't think they even if they wanted to, they could beat UFC 100, the third greatest fight card of all time. Those are the best to ever do it. But 300 was dope. But it go back 200 for me. But playing devil's advocate like. And it doesn't matter because it happened, so this is just. You know. Playing a game here, say Max Holloway didn't get that knockout with one second left. So say your first fight was Bonakele, Cody Brundage Bonakele didn't live up to the hype that was put on him. He's still the man, but you know, he didn't knock the doors off anybody. So you got the first fight? No, great. They have arm in Charles Oliveira. It's a split decision. OK. And then let's say Max Holloway doesn't knock out Justin Gates with one second left. You have Max Holloway, just 80. That goes decision. That knockout doesn't happen. That fight wasn't close. Max Holloway dominated. So you have a majority decision like, well, here we go. And then you have five rounds of a women's strawweight of two Chinese fighters and it goes to a decision. So now you have. Let's just go through it. If we don't have the match or we knock out, this is UFC 300 main card. We're only talking about main cards, you have Bonakele under-delivered. So you're not going krunk, there you have. And Charles goes decision, you know, crazy there. Yeah. Max Holloway dominated Justin Gatti for five rounds for BMF. Title Me Crazy There. You have the next fight. So you have submission decision decision. Then you got a co-main event and you have waylay vs. Yan decision when the strawweight. So now you have you have was at. That's three decisions in an underwhelming submission. And then you go to the main event of Alex and Jamal, and it ends in the knockout. The criticism probably would have been there. Now, thank God it didn't. But and to Dana's credit into the fighter's credit like they showed up. That's what makes this card special. They showed up because if it went like how I just went through, the criticism would be deafening. It would be loud. But because you got the greatest knockout in combat sports history, I will stand by that. It delivered. And then Alex just put the cherry on top, knocking out Jamal. But again, take out Max doing what he did, which is stupid to say, but I'm just saying, take that out. It's not a great card, main card, you know? But he did so as not to talk about this great gift, the greatest gift of all time. But also, to be fair to me, remember that that clip sticking a little out of context because as the fight got close when Max in just in case was first announced, I didn't like it. I was like, Why are they doing it? A max like this? It holds up the divisions. Don't moves forward. What are we doing? I didn't like the BMF title, and that's my favorite. That's my first time, as if I got closer and the more because when the fight's announced, you know, I know all the fighters. I usually have a a good assessment of how it's going to go, but I'm not doing any research. I'm not going back over fights. But as they get closer and it's the week of then I'll start watching tape and that's that's that's just my, you know, the way I do things. So when Max Holloway and Justin get you got closer, you watch it. That's why I went, Oh, s**t specified in the card. Oh s**t. Max Holloway is going to win this fight. And he did. Yeah, I mean, we all said, to be fair, before UFC 300 had an episode and it was titled I've changed my tune about UFC 300, so you approach UFC 300 before it. I'm always pro UFC, of course always. But even on three hundred, you redacted your criticism. Yeah, but also my criticism was based off the the news that we had at the time. I my doors would be blown off like I would be blown away. So that was that was the criticism. Then also me going, I am blown like, dude, I do a show on Mondays. I got to be entertaining. So it's just me exaggerating things. You know, I know I buy the cards no matter what. You know, I love it. I bleed UFC. But that's the way the news cycles work these days is groups or people online will grab on to something. And that's the narrative you can't ever change your mind can you can never be open minded at 41 years old? No, no, you said, you know, like 300. Oh, yes, I did say that three months ago. OK, you're right, but I like it now. Does it matter? Three months ago you said, you don't like it, OK? There's people now. Even when Dana did that, Oh dude, Dana, still hate you getting roasted. Look at that. I'm like, Oh God. Do you have you never know? Maybe having people are busy, but I mean, I've said this on Rogan. I've said it on every platform I can. I love Dana White. There's no issues between us. Hate to tell you guys. I know everyone likes these beefs and all that. It's fun for you guys. Since The Real Housewives of the UFC, people love all the drama. The I'm not that they would fire me if I was on episode of Real Housewives. There's no drama here. I love the UFC. I love the staff. As you can tell me, did have no problems. He commented on my post. Mick Maynard and I talk to each other. I'm cool with Sean Shelby. All the staff, the fighters. I have no issues at all. Hate it. I know that's not fun for you guys. That's going to be click baity, you know, but it's just that's the truth. I have no issues. I love that he did this video. I wish you would do this kind of stuff more like, have a dialogue with the media more? You do. Yeah. Like, I take no offense to it. The guys are all worried about it. It's like, Oh, Bubba, I've dealt with way was like, This isn't a personal shot. It's like him spinning. Like I told you. Yeah, yeah, which I think it's dope. A lot of people I know they're so petty and like, now, that's why he's Dana White. Yeah, this is dope. This is dope. It'd be cool if other people did this, you know, because it wasn't like nasty dingo personal. He's like, Oh, really, you schmucks think this is going to suck? Check this out. That's a montage, you know, everyone talking shed and doing their stuff. But. And then you always have people like whenever, Dana, you know, we've had our issues over the years, but it's all good, man. You know, it's all good. I give Dana, you know, the credit for, you know, give me the career that I have. You know, if you didn't change the rules and do the Reebok deal, who knows what would have happened to me if I would have stuck around to make the money? And but he didn't. And, you know, he changed the rules because that was best for his business. He wasn't trying to hurt me. It took me a while to realize that. But that gave me the fuel to build the podcast and on the kid and, you know, big brown break down and do what I do. So, you know, I give I should probably give him some sort of percentage. You know, if he needed it. But I would. I don't want to butt and he doesn't. He has an argument for that. What if he was so petty came four days ago, actually 10 percent? I would give it to you, sir. Yeah, there's no issues. But whenever this stuff happens, you'll you'll see people online. Jump on it, you know? And then in the offending in the UFC, and it's just like, Oh God, you guys are barking at the wrong dog here, man. Like, nobody's more pro UFC than me now. See, I've never had anybody that's barking at me that actually has done anything for the UFC. But you've never like, maybe give them your Pay-Per-View money, or maybe you sit cage side like, you know, there's no blood, sweat and tears in the UFC. That's I was in it. You know, I don't know the sausage is made, and I still love it. It's also you're not. Like, like, uh, Steve will do it. He came at me on Twitter. I was like, Why? Like why the. He's close with Dana, and I think he's young, I don't know how old is, but I think he's young, so maybe that's his way of like Guinness Boys Back, which I respect. I get that. But this isn't you. You don't know what you're doing. You're not educated on the dynamics of everything. And that stuff doesn't bother me. You know, I've dealt with much worse, but I just think he's ill informed. He doesn't know, but I try to look at his perspective. He's probably like. You know, once a ride with Dana and Dana helps him out and they're boys, right, and I think they own that, you know, whatever the alcohol is. Yeah, happy dad. Or I don't know, I assume they have business together. So he's defending his boy, which I get my love. I do the same. I ride for my guys. Like, do a little research. I'm not this, isn't it? But then this isn't it? And maybe again, the new cycle takes forever, and he's not paying attention to what I do. I don't pay. I couldn't tell you what he does. Again, that's not a knock. I'm 40, dude. I have three kids. I. We have a mutual friend and Bradley Martin. I love Bradley Bradley's, a close buddy of mine. You know, I love Bradley Bradley's done a ton for me. Absolutely adore Bradley. So we have mutual friends. So. I don't know about it, but it's like, Oh, I get it. You defend your boss. I respect that, but you're you're barking up the wrong tree. Maybe he just saw that clip and just like that, like this thing's terrible, but I wasn't blown. So he's like, Oh, f**k this guy, you know? And there's, you know, the other guys are just podcasters. You don't have a background, so there's stuff you can go after. Yeah, I was at world champion. No, I'm not Kevin Hart or Joe Rogan. You know, so you can poke stuff at that. It's like, Oh, you just don't know, Bubba failed comedian. Oh, buddy, you don't know comedy. You don't know comedy. That doesn't work. From your outside perspective, I'm not at Kevin Hart or Joe Rogan or Sebastian's level, no. Does that mean I felt like the ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of comics fail? If that's your if that's your level, then yeah. All of us are failures for about five guys in the world to ever do it. So he's been a dick, you think? I just think he's young. He fires off and also who like, if this isn't a knock on anybody, but maybe Ariel's more famous than me. But you can't really knock like, you can't knock Ariel. Oh, you failed in this place or you failed in your comedy like there is no. You can't call Ariel failed. That doesn't really work failed. Journalist, that doesn't work. So there's and those other guys, I assume they don't have a background, right? So take Ariel out of it. I'm the easiest target. You know, I have an extensive background in football and fighting in comedy and podcasts like, there's a lot, there's a lot there. I do a lot of content, you know, but I just think he's ill informed. I have no resentment towards him. I get it. You're back in a boy, which I respect. But even DNA type, I think that the movement made him cool. There's other people can go after. There just it's not the mood sucks. It doesn't it like again, he's young again, I don't know what he does, but also they can. He's not the only one. Like, I assume he's just protecting his boy like the other people that do it. It's like. But you're not going to get ringside tickets defending Dana. Like, He's God, dude. He doesn't need it. You know he's good. Mean him are good. You guys don't need to do this, you know? Yeah, with Steve, I have no issues with him, but he seemed like a good guy. Anybody that knows him tells me he's a good guy. I don't know what he does. Maybe just ill informed. But I'm easy to find a super easy to find. Super easy to find. You know, and and we have a mutual friend and Bradley Martin. I text Brad yesterday. You know, I talked to Brad probably once a week. Brad's a close buddy of mine. Help me out with my energy levels and peptides, and I like Brad's my guy. Absolutely adore Bradley. He's the f**king man. And he's best friends with Steve. So there's a mutual friend there, so I'm easy to find. You can get my number from Bradley. If there's something going on that I don't know about, you're so upset I can meet you at zoo, gym, culture, zoo culture, whichever location you want, we can meet there. We can talk about it. If you're so mad, we can go in the back room. Figure it out. You sign papers that you're not going to sue or anything like that and you figure it out. No, I don't. But you know what I'm saying like this never do. But I know what you're saying. No, but I'm saying if he like, if he's that mad, it's like if he wants to work with you. Yeah, we can figure it out. Yeah, I have no problem with that. But you would never. I know, you know, I don't want to. He seems like he's small, too. I don't. So it doesn't like I don't come off as a bully. He came at me. So it's like, if you're that mad, that's an angle. I'm down. If he wants any content, yeah, I'm down. Yeah, if that's if that's saying you want to go, it doesn't make sense. You know, it doesn't make sense, though none of it, but none of it does a giving coming at me. You know, the defendant is like, Oh, no, no, no, we're good, dude. You don't know the context. Yeah, I'm not sure what he said, but I mean, that's that's kind of messed up that he is going after you. It happens all the time. Yeah. But again, but and it's not a bully thing. It's not the old, c**ky thing. I think why it doesn't bother me. I've I get a lot of it's like, I've never, ever. Check the receipts. I've never had anybody in standup podcasting. The Emmy community, whatever community trucking Takumi. Nobody that's ever come after me. I've I've never been worried if you locked me in a room with them, how it would go. I've never had a single person on this earth come after me. They couldn't beat up. And that's just facts. This isn't a bully thing. This isn't a c**ky thing. So I think that's why it doesn't bother me, because I know Steve or I know insert comic or insert podcasts or insert whoever it is from anything that I do that talk s**t about me. I know if we're in the same room, you would not talk to me that way. It just it's never happened. I've been doing this a long time. It's never happened. I'm easy to get to. I'm around, man. It's never happened. To social media, it's not real, we're not. You don't like Steve or whoever it is, they don't view me as a person. They see the accomplishments or the failures, and it's easy to fire off. You would never do that in person. Yeah. So I go, Yeah, I'm older too. I get it. And it's not that I'm c**ky or anything like that black belt in jujitsu, gold gloves, champ, top 10 you see at one time, like and that's cool, but it's no nothing to brag about, like when you like whoever it is out there when you were busy, I don't know, doing keg stands and chugging beer and whatever your thing was in college or whatever it was, I was learning jujitsu. You could have easily done that. Been a black belt. Like, that's not. I'm not bragging about that. Just when you decide to focus on this thing, I'll focus on this thing, just so happens that that thing when it comes to hand-to-hand fighting, I will f**k you up. Unless your name's Francis and Arno Gordon, Ryan, Tyson Fury, I will f**k you up so that that so that's why I like like, Oh man, the heat I deal with, I'm like, OK, I beat him up. Like at the end of the day, take away everything. Social media lawsuits. How's it going to look here? I'll take good care. All that stuff at the end of the day when s**t hits the fan. And social media is gone and cameras are gone and you walked in a room with another man. How's it? Keep the same energy. And I know how the energy's going to go. I've been known for a long time. I've been in rooms of people who hate me. They're the nicest people to me. I'll do that thing you did was so dope. They don't realize I know what they've said about me, how they feel about me. And what do I do kill them with kindness? I would never, would never. Would never. These are just facts. They're just facts. Now we can live in a world where these YouTubers and the guys like Steve, his buddies around him are going, Dude, you should fight him. Oh dude, I don't know, dude, you got knocked up by Nogueira that time. There's that world on that lives on social media and YouTube. That's not real. That is not. You cannot fight. I promise you cannot fight. Maybe can't amongst your boys in the YouTubers. Cool. That's not real, Bubba. This will not end well for you in any facet. This is the real world. You will get severely f**ked up and that's why I'm cool with it. Yeah, whoever it is, unless your name's Francis Gordon Ryan or Tyson Fury, I'm OK. So that's how I do. People ask me, What time? How do you do? Oh, I'm I'm good because I know it's not real. Because if we had a dinner party or at another party or a UFC event, whatever it is, everyone's friendly to me. It's never happened. Yeah. No, again, you might have this false sense of reality where your buddies are in your ear and oh dear, I don't know, dude, he blew his hamstrings out just running that time or whatever they tell you. I'll do that one time we're at Florida State and you knocked out that kid. Do I? If you let another on charm, that's not real. I will snap your neck whenever I want, if it came down to it, that's real. And that's what I'm trained to do. And no, I'm not on shape. No, no, no. I'm not my fighting weight. I run three miles every morning button, four a.m., I will f**k you up. I know this might come off as like you seem like you want to mess up, but I know I'm not saying I don't want to take Steve out. That's it. I mean, no, I'm cool with him. I like the guy in case I've known you for, I've known you for so long. You don't want to fight people. You don't. You don't want to hurt anyone. It's just like if people keep coming at you and me, keep talking smack. And then when they meet you in person and they really want to do something, don't do it, dude. You're going to stop. There you go. Yeah, I know. I know exactly where. That's all I'm saying, and I know you've dealt with this so much for the last few years. So I get what you're saying. Yeah. Well, you're a good dude. You've helped us out so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I don't want it. It's all good. I'm just say at the end of the day, like, they're like, Oh man, how come we don't fire back at my because I'm 42, but I'm also 40 with kids and also I'm not so insecure like that stuff does not get to me. And you know, you could do so live in the real world. So it's like, you know, there's this, there's this noise where if that goes away and the reality hits and then were to walk in the studio right now, which they would never do. But of course not. That's why I'm good. Let's say, let's say for whatever reason, they got a feather up their a*s and their boys are like, you know, have a couple of shots, man, that one time you land that shot that dude from Clemson, you do that job. That's cool. I will f**k you up. We know this man. We know this, but they don't know. No, I think they do. I don't think they do their talking. I don't think they do their job. They also know, like, I don't entertain like a Yeah, I'm forty one. I'm like entertaining and a Twitter, Instagram or Facebook beef. You know, it's like, what? For what? I just I've never entertained it, but I would my ratings be higher? Would I be further along in podcasting? Maybe. I just don't like it. It's just not what I do. And also, I also don't have a mean bone in my body. I know that's the reason. If I saw Steve or insert whoever that's talk, should I be super cool? Yeah, I would be cool with them. I'd be willing to guarantee they'd be cool with me. And then if they weren't? That's where we go into the real world. Yeah. And again, it's not a flex. You could have got your black belt. You could have. Maybe you could have one golden gloves. Maybe could have been a top 10 heavyweight in the world. Maybe if you dedicate your your time to it like I did. That's not a flex. That's just why I decided to do. You probably could have done that. You could have figured it out. I don't know. But the facts are, I did. I have this, this set of skills that I still work on and the set of skills is not for Twitter. It's not for Instagram. It's not for Facebook, though set of skills are for when I'm with my kids and I'm at a car show, something happens and you pop off. And then those skills while you were busy chugging beer or whatever you're doing or shooting YouTube videos, those are your skills. These skills are going to f**k you up. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, but I don't want him. I would never have. I ever knew how to be aggressive with anybody. He would have been with you on tour from then ever. Sometimes people get aggressive and you're always like, You have no choice. Yeah. I would never know. Never, never, never. Now you're good union, and even with the the Dana White stuff, like I've said, millions of times like our beef, that there's more of me, you know, being insecure and being immature like you. He's helped me out, man. Like, even with the fighter, the anti trust lawsuit, part of me. You know, I didn't want that thing to go through. To be honest, I don't want the UFC to go under or have issues like these other leagues. Hell, no, I love the UFC man. I love them. Absolutely love them. So even with that, like I have no issues with Dana, zero issues, and some people, I'm sure can respond to that video, you know, and. And you'll break it down, and if it wasn't just like what I did, hypothetical, if then and do this, this fight, that dude, you're trying to take it from an older dude if you're younger. That's not the take. Max did do that. That card did deliver what ton of people did talk s**t about it. We were all wrong, for the most part. That card was really dope. It's all good. That shows maturity. Doubling down again, maybe go for the views and oh, Dana White roast me will check this out. Leaked, whatever. You know it's it's exhausting, man. It's no way to live. It's no way to live. But then some people might be like, yeah, well, look at my visa. I get it. Keep doing your thing. That's just not what I do. I've no hate my heart for anybody. Zero. Again, I'm a fan of Steve 061, if you're OK with Bradley, you're OK with me, I have zero issues with him. But and also as older, dude, from his perspective, I get it back in your book. I dig that. You're just misinformed. You know, I back my guys. Boy, do I back my guys? Boy, do it. Taking a lot of hits for it, but I'm sure stays the same, so I respect it, desroches. But again, even this clip getting in our contacts will send this Tim O'Brien threatened to fight you. Meet him. As you know, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that I was using him as an example as how I can deal with so much negativity. Because I live in the real world. And real time, I'm not too up for clicks, views, likes, retweets. She can, you know, push to shove of a set of skills that helps him navigate this stuff. And thank God, you know, because if I did, I probably would be entertaining this super toxic stuff, super tax stuff. Even with the aerial stuff, you know, I've had a million beefs even with even with aerial, I love aerial. He's the best we got, man. Nobody does it better. He's the best we've ever had in this. Mm-Hmm. Hmm. I know Errol, you know, his dream was to cover, you know, NBA wanted to ESPN. No, man. No, no, no, no. No know you're our insert famous commentator for NBA journalist, for NBA journalists, for NFL. Like you're that to us. There will never be another aerial. He's as good as we got. You know, I don't want be for that guy. But he and I take ownership. I f**ked up on it. They could not remember it all started. Compare. I think I said some remastering and having a good time, and I didn't have safety shattering, drinking heavily at the time I was in my feelings. Yeah, because I shot the the I think I was there for a which it was a Logan Paul fight or something, and I made some off the wall kind of like the only reason it was there because I turned it down. Is that true? No, no. It was better at it than me. You know, did I get offered it? You know, does it matter? You're still. I would. I mean, they don't do the same jobs. You know, that's a I don't do what he does, so that even makes sense. So I fired off at the mouth and then. He came back with vengeance. You know, it's like, Oh, God, I don't want this man. You know, I love you much all s**t. You know, I don't like that stuff. At all, it was great. Yeah, and I know like his dream was, did do the NBA stuff for me, the NFL stuff, but dude, no, no, no. You're that to us, man. I don't if if you need to hear that, but that's what you are, you're the best. You know, Hall of Famer, he's been the U.S. often. Yeah, I agree. Well, it happened. But then at the throne apps, now the new data is different. Who knows? Not not well with me and him, but I've gone, you know? Yeah. But again, we that's the other thing like that. VIDEO. I will say this like the people in that video, whether it's Campbell, Luke Thomas, don't make it all they should of whatever reason, they always cut him out. Ariel, the other boys in the videos, not Jesse, take Jesse out as he like, loves the UFC, and he probably hurt his feelings. I mean, associating with the rest of us. But this side of the media that doesn't work for the UFC and work for ESPN or is under the thumb of Dana, you need us. It can't be just a jack off fest of the UFC because then that's not media. That's propaganda. Then you're no different than Fox or CNN. You need to quote, which we're not, but you need the bad guy. That makes sense. We all can't work for ESPN, be under the thumb banner, the pay of the UFC, because then you're not going to get actual criticism. Then I'm going to tell you this weekend's Fight Night is the best thing I've ever seen. And that's not real, is it, fellas? That thing is f**king trash. Even if it was all one sided knockouts, that card is trash. But if I worked for ESPN, I worked for Fox at the time when if I worked for, you know, insert whatever media that the UFC has control over. They have to pretend this thing is fantastic. So you need the bad guys. We're not bad, guys. What I'm saying is you need those people like myself, honestly speaking, about what they feel about the card, even honestly. But even but even if it's entertaining, like giving up some pushback. Yeah, you will live in a world where, again, CNN, all they do is jack off Biden Fox. All they do is jack off Trump. It's not good. You need a mix of both. And that's what that video is. The mix. That's the mix on the other side. You need that that's a good thing, you don't want to silence the aerials of the world. I think you see during such, I'm not trying to run their business or absolutely f**king crush it, I'm a moron, but what I'm saying is is for them not to have aerial at events or Luke Thomas at events. You guys are missing the boat, so f**king bad. And again, do you need it? Probably not. But as far as giving credibility and make it look like the NFL or NBA or MLB, this is one of the red flags you have the two best. Luke Thomas and Ariel that don't go to events, can't go to events. It just and, you know, nobody knows the game better than those two and they're not involved with the events. It's not good. It's not good in any facet. It's just not. I don't think he's banned from. I don't think Luke's ban from events. Hold on. Yeah, I don't know. He's not probably welcome. No. They have an issue with him. There were issues with Ariel. I think Ariel is banned, but here's the thing they won't give. I think for sure they won't give him media credentials. Mm hmm. That's an issue. So stupid. Yeah. He literally got the two best minds in the game. They can't do it in real time. And also, they wouldn't be. They're just talking about fighter pay like those days are over. They'd be they're asking like legit questions that the majority of the MMR fans want answered. And you can still do your thing with the guys, you know, the YouTubers who don't really have a background in the game like we need that too. But you need that like Nina. She's great, man. She's a breath of fresh air. She's funny. She's doing things that no one's ever done. She's crushing it. You need that and you need, you know, the dope boys and the rest of that stuff. But you definitely need Ariel and Luke. You know, you need to. You need the mix of it, I think, to be taking serious. Is like, dude, we made more money than we've ever made. Shut the f**k up. Yeah, I get that too. I get it. One deal with the headache. But the days are days of like fighter pay and stuff like that's over, like nobody like that lawsuit, like there's nothing to even talk about. Like, Luke wouldn't go there and ask about fighter pay. Ariel wouldn't. There that's like in depth, like questions that we all want to know and we don't get answers to because the media now is like, Oh, who's the best ever man? How how did you even think about putting this car together? It's like this doesn't move the ball down the field. We can't. We're going to get no answers here, man, you know? But I remembered Luke did talk a lot about fighter pay, and he would probably like, say it in the press conference, too, but he would it. Now there's literally, oh no. Now you don't even look like he's one of my favorite people. He's given up now, but he was like, I'm done with it. There's no narrative he's given up, so you don't have to worry about that with Ariel. Like, I get. You know, Dana has his issues with him. You know what he did at whatever is UFC one hundred or two, was it to 200? But. It's silliness, man, it's just silly. Just how weird is it, you have the greatest mind in May, and he's not involved with the media scrums. I mean, it'd be weird, right? It makes there'd be like ban and stimulate stimulate Smith from the NBA. Because he talked s**t about, you know, did something like what? It's silly. Yeah. But who knows? I mean, the other thing is, those guys don't need it. Dana doesn't need it, so I'm probably just. Yelling at a f**king black hole doesn't matter. Let's take a little break, and then we'll get back to the show. This episode of the sharp show Haney Ryan Garcia is brought to you by Cage.

Yeah, so your boy, Luke Rockhold actually knocked out Joe Schilling at Karate Combat, which didn't see this coming. I know, right? Because Josh Schilling is like a hardcore kickboxer. But yeah, it was a check hook, check, right hook, yeah, good for luck, man. And then this is Josh Schilling's response. This first, this is a Luke Rockhold saying that he had an infection. And two weeks notice. Good for him, for pulling off, for sure, and then this is Joe Sherman's response. Well, that's search turns up two weeks notice and a five year break isn't enough, but I told you, look, I was going to break it days when there's a job at the welcome service. Boys and girls and their boys, right? The boys. Yeah, they've been out together like, I'm surprised they're even fighting, but you know, so looks. I love you, Joe. And yeah, they're both great. I love both those guys. Yeah, they're like that. They're fighting, but at least they both get paid. Yeah. Two weeks notice, five years of tough. Yeah. So Jamal Hill is going to fight at UFC zero three, which is when it's very soon, I think it may end up fighting. Khalil Rountree holds it may or June, I think. Oh no, you're right. June, gentlemen on June 29. So end of June go. And he just fought. So, so he fought in April. So two months. Yeah, they they usually they usually give you a six and he got knocked out, get knocked out, usually a six month. Which suspension that works, but still, that's not a great I said, six month suspension. Oh, sorry. It usually is. But good for him, I get it. Why don't you want to go back in there? You know, that's a great point, but after not, that's a great resume. Yeah, phenomenal. But I'll take it. And while he was a bad a*s man in order to get knocked out like that and he's right back to work like my most fighters, you want that like because you don't want to just dwell on that. So I dig it. It's a great fight. I told you June is so spicy. Yeah. Here's a quick one from you from one championship, they made the. They. I mean, no three or four on the Forbes most valuable combat sports promotions in 2024, and I'll just show you the list here. So you'll see, obviously no one really. Yeah, and they made one point to nine billion in 2023. Then it's WWE Hall hilarious. Six point eight billion by the same company. A two point or two billion A.W. That's the and that's the other wrestling. Well, yeah, wow. And then once you a ship? Number two? Number four. No, but I'm saying as far as memory goes, no, no. But boy, far cry from number one because like estimate two thousand twenty three revenue, a hundred forty million USD was like, what? f**king 1.7 billion? Which is wild. Yeah, but they made the list. Who else is there anybody else on there? Yeah. This is boxing to me, I thought they would make way more macho boxing. It's just because in 2023. Yeah. Anthony Joshua. Yeah. And then PSL number six, I'd say that's more surprising than anything. And then this is really surprising. Top Rank. Number seven, I figured they'd be higher. Yeah, especially AFL, Tyson Fury. Premier boxing out because they had one of the premier has done the damn thing. If Canelo, Timothy Davis, Terence Crawford revenue ninety five million, yeah, because they paid 90 million to f**king Canelo every time he fights. Golden olive oil, clearly there's money in boxing. You just have to have a big draw. Funerals seven a.m. in 2023. I thought that would make way more to though. But that might be after they pay out all the guys and everything. This is also pretty cool. That's cool, too. I take olive oil. That's dope. Number 10. Now we know about Forbes, like there's no like you don't have to submit your tax stubs to them, you know, I have so much to say, but I'll say, yeah, like there's like Forbes do like, you know, with Connor, they're like, no, you know, for in. Does he make a ton of money? Yes. Jake Paul, number two. You know, it's based off like other estimates like there's no tax. Virus isn't like here's the papers, you know? Yeah, there's so much to talk about. It doesn't matter all those, all those companies are balling. Yeah, they're killing it. So Angela and Christian Lee's younger brother. Is going to fight at one, one, six or seven in June. That's so cool and he's like, what, 18 years old? Barely. I think it's like lightning that families just pull out monsters. Yeah, all of them. I remember he was like a little tiny kid, and he's running around as taller than his big brother, Christian Lee, who's a champion. That's cool, man. Or. He grew up. Yeah. All righty Tom Aspinall said that he's going to be fighting in Manchester in the summer, but obviously the no opponent is confirmed yet. I assume Curtis Blaydes, if you look at the lay of the land. Yeah, isn't it weird? It doesn't knock your salad socks? I love Curtis. I think he deserves the right match. But as far as, like Big Boy matchup, it's like a knock your socks off. But probably the right thing to do. That's great. He's on the card, though it'd be even better if he has to be man. It'd be even better if Leon was on there as well. Yes. And Mohammed is hating on the owner now because he's not talking to him or even in the fight. So it's not right, man. Um, let's go here, so these are just opening odds from crash and in May of if Tom Aspinall did fight Alex Padilla. And that's that's all it would be a minus 300 favorite and Prada is a +400 underdog. That seems fair. It seems about right. Yeah, yeah. No, and it wouldn't be a bad to put money on, you know, Alex, just because you land that she just becomes a grappling and heavyweight and aspinall for, you know, black belt. His background first is jujitsu. Like, there's a lot of problems for Alex there. Now, can Alex do it? Absolutely. Yeah. One hit on it. No. Speaking of bets, this is on DraftKings. The opening hours for Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler Connors, a minus 118 and Michael Chandler's minus one or two. I like that almost. I mean, it's almost should be just even money. But I like because we don't know what Conor is going to look like. Chandler, I think he had a birthday turned thirty eight by the time this fight comes around, hasn't fought in a while that the bookies just be like, How about it? We don't f**king know what version of Conor we're going to get. But here's what's wild. I know we're run along on time and we'll move on after this. Here's what's wild. Think of the year we've had already. It's been fantastic for combat sports, it's been so good this year and I don't know how long. So good. Think how much better Emma will get if Conner were to knock Chandler out? Yeah, I love to challenge my boy. I'm just saying from a business perspective, from excitement perspective, because if Chandler beats him, it's, you know, it's like, I'll send Connor and that goes away. But if Conor McGregor knocks Michael Chandler out, oh bah, bah. We're back. We're drinking proper, he's at the f**king that gives us life for two more major fights. Leon Edwards can come get these hands at 170. The I mean, the world is your oyster. Who else wants some? Yeah, there's so many dope match ups, if you just need this one knockout and then the UFC, you think they had a big year last year if Conor McGregor knocked out Michael Chandler. It will be by far their biggest, most profitable year ever. You do some wild s**t with Conor if he wins this. Yeah, the UFC is a killer, God, dear God, you know. Your line, self. There's not one person. That works for the UFC, who wants Michael Chandler to win this fight? Just the way it goes, I love Charlie. He's awesome. Yeah, he's the best. He's my boy. One of the very salt of the Earth. You're saying just money business wise. I get it. Yeah, it makes sense. And you know, he's the biggest guy. I love me some Conner man, and nothing's better when Connor's doing well, nothing's better in combat sports. I know he says ups and downs. f**k all that noise. One knockout win, you forget about all that we're going sizzler with proper. There's a reason the biggest now is the biggest in May. He's the biggest star period, so when he wins, there's not a better time to be part of this game. It is so fun. He's just fine. Yeah, it is fun. It just a different animal. Yeah, I'd be I'd be way more I'd go down way more rabbit hole, how about I want him to win but challenge our boy? But that's the best is if Chandler beats them. It's sad. Let's just be honest, it's not cool, man. Be cool, Chandler. It's not cool if you beat Connor because then though, then we got to get off the ride. Like, right now, the rides, you were on the roller coaster, but it's kind of like, is that a we'll lose back there? We're checking our seatbelts. Yes, I'm like, It's just, Oh no, oh no, it's bad. It's it's gone. But now it's gone. It's gone up. You know this could be cool. Let's do it move. But if he loses, make it, you know, and we're off the ride and I'd be sad. He's my fave. It is what it is that it, Jen. Yeah. Should we do OK, let's just do one more. So this is funny. I thought this. This is like a R-Miss. freakin talking about. If Holloway pointed the finger, if he's fighting him, you know, potentially if he pointed the finger, he agreed. But then just take him down smart and lie to him. Smart. Bad for your Twitter replies. But the rest of it smart. I'm like, Let's do it. Who is win the fight, dog? Smart. All right. All this week, so I mean, we have a UFC, but it's like you said before, it's nothing really that great. So I again, I'll walk. I'm watching it. I'm a degenerate. I'll take what I can do. It means shout out to the UFC for even playing it together, but I told you my beaks in me dry in May. If you want to use that for your videos, whatever it is, what it is. But KFC got Mike Perry versus tag golfers. Tough fight for your boy, Thiago. Ben Rothwell, Todd Duffee, you know, Tyler Duffey, I know both, you know, both. Yeah, yeah. Love it. So, Julian Lane, let me bang, bro, he's back. Yeah. f**k yeah, yeah, pretty knuckle doing the damn thing. I'll take it that it, brother. I'm pretty sure that's it. Yeah. All right, kids. That's it, man. Love you. Thanks for watching.
