Fight Companion - September 9, 2023

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out! The Joe Rogan Experience. Join my day, Joe Rogan podcast, by night, all day!

Cheers, are we live? Salud. Salud.

Salud, boys.

Come on now, come on.

Sam Tripley's drinking water and Brian Callen is drinking CIA sake. Sake!

Well, we're not going to talk about conspiracies because I'll have to win. I don't want to dish that on the television.

I've heard your podcast with Sam and you rarely do, so. I don't know what you're saying.

Lots of, lots of.

How many podcasts have we done, Sam? Like, I think, something like 200, 300..

Yeah, you should call your podcast 10, Eight Rounds.

Let me ask you this.

How much has that changed your world view? Me? Yeah, having these things exposed to you, like I can't believe this is real, and it turns out it is real.

Yeah, that's the problem. I'm automatically always like, bullshit, every time Sam comes up with a conspiracy, right? But then, unfortunately, I do call you and I go, damn it!

What was the big one? You were right. What was the big one?

I remember you were talking about Obama being gay for a while.

We don't know if he's gay. No, no. We still don't know. Come on! Listen, when people smoke, first of all, when people smoke cocaine, they do wild shit.

I'll tell you what the big one is.

Now, I smoke, crack, bro. You know what you think when you're smoking crack? You're like, fuck, I'm smoking crack, bro. That's all you think the whole time.

I don't think he was smoking crack. I think he was smoking cocaine. The guy got coke and this is his allegation, according to the Tucker Carlson show, which is wild.

Tucker Carlson got some guy out who sucked his dick.

What's your guess? Is it a world leader? Is it some fucking general? Some very important person?

Those guys smoke, crack and suck dick. Let's have them on.

But he's missing a bunch of tits. That would feel good.

He's missing one.

That means you're dedicated when you're missing the teeth.

It means you're the kind of guy who sucks dick. when you just meet a guy. For money. You need some coke and who knows? Who knows if he's telling the truth, but the bottom line is when dudes smoke, crack, I guarantee you, there's some guys who've got their dick sucked by dudes that really should know.

Dave sucked my dick.

I'll give you some crack. if you, let me suck your dick.

When you let a stranger suck your cock, you know you've gone too far.

Without a doubt, that has happened.

I think it's happened, but I don't think that's the normal thing.

In the history of the world, I don't think there's a normal when it comes to you smoking crack with dudes you just met.

But do you think you're gay? Do you think you might be just gay if you're smoking crack?

I certainly could, but Brian had a very interesting point when we were in the green room, about guys who aren't gay, but they're married and they occasionally go off and get gay hookers or something or meet guys at truck stops.

Those are gay men?

No, but he's saying it made sense.

Brian, this is your study. Did you read this?

No, I actually read this.

Do you remember where you read it? Was it a Grindr blog?

Yeah, it was in gay.com. The idea is there are a lot of men who are married, three kids, you know, everything else. How many kids do you have? I have three.

Keep going.

A lot of times they will go off to some gay bar, some bus stop, whatever, and they bang a guy, get sucked, suck somebody's dick, whatever it might be, but they're straight. Then they go to a therapist and they say, I got this thing. I like women, but once in a while I get this urge. And the theory, it's a controversial one, but the theory, according to the literature, which I've not read...

I love Shob's face whenever Brian says dumb shit.

This is his face.

12 years of fighting a kid. And so the theory is that if you were molested as a child, at a certain age, at a very specific kind of age, by an older man, these people, it's traumatic, it's bad, it's all terrible, but it may have felt good. Like there might have been a part of it where you're...

Mouth to mouth.

Yes, yes. And so. then now you've got this imprinted, ingrained kind of conflict of trauma.

Jamie, you gotta go to ESPN Plus.

Then they have to relive the trauma.

I have it, it's just stuck on like 30 minutes back. It is? Yeah, I have it, it's just in this dumb remote. I'm trying to do too many things. Oh, okay, here, I'll take it over.

Brian, I'm just curious again who your source is on this.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, is this The Streets, bro?

Hey, is your source your dad?

I read it, I read it. I can't remember where I read it, but it was a thing. You know what's interesting about that? That's really wild. That's a controversial thing to say.

So I went to college. And I got a degree. You got a degree? What college? I'm functionally illiterate.

I see you buffed over here, so I can't relate.

I had a professor named Dr. Logan, and he was a renowned sex therapist. And he would just give us these nuggets in the middle school class. And he was like, I could get you to be attracted to anything. I could make it.

When you're a kid.

You're in, right? So that would fit into what you're saying.

Trauma can cause that issue with people.

We associate pleasure with whatever.

Laura Sanko.

That's my girl. Laura's great, man.

She's fire. She's very good at it.

She's so good. She's fire. She's a nice person, too. She works her ass off.

She's shiny. She's a shiny person. Like, she's, good looking.

She's very pretty. She's super nice, too. Like, when you're around her, she's a very, very nice person.

The biggest thing, too, obviously she's an attractive human being, but she knows her shit. You can tell when they just put in an attractive girl. Like, what are we doing here? Right.

She knows her shit. Well, someone who doesn't do the work and isn't into the sport. She fought. She had one MMA fight.

She trains a lot. Respect. Respect.

She trains a lot. She's very good. So, that's good for her that she got this gig. And she'll shock a lot of people because she's very good at it. You know, a lot of people look at her and they'll go, oh, great.

You brought in a chick. Yeah, but if you watch Dana White's Contender Series, she's the star on that. She crushes it. Her and Bisping are great.

Absolutely good at it.

And Brendan.

Okay. So, here we go. Boom.

Man, that was crazy.

Bro.

This is the best part. Oh, they didn't show the arrows. When he fucking stood over him and launched three arrows for the three times that he beat him before.

Gangster. Yeah.

But he said afterwards he wasn't even aware that he shot three and that he beat him three. He said he was just doing it.

Oh, wow.

Just felt like hitting him with three arrows.

One of my favorite knockouts of all time.

Bro, it's an amazing knockout.

He is a master, dude.

He's a master. Woo! But this motherfucker is tough. And the thing about Sean Strickland is, like, first of all, stand-up-wise, different worlds. Sean is all punches.

His defense is good.

Because he spars so often.

My question there when I hear that, Joe, is, who's he sparring?

He's not sparring against Israel Adesanya.

He's not sparring against anybody, even close.

Not close. But he's sparring against very good guys. I mean, there's a lot of really good guys at Extreme Couture. Or, excuse me.

In Vegas, right?

He's at Extreme. He left Ruka. That's right.

He's at Extreme.

Izzy's not saying anything. Sean's talking.

Look, you're dealing with one of the greatest of all time against a guy who's really tough. Correct. So it should be very interesting. The thing about Sean is fucking energy management is amazing. He knows how to turn it on on guys.

Great cardio.

If he has you hurt, he's a nonstop worker. He's never out of shape.

Volume puncher.

Volume puncher. Can he take it, though? He even jokes around about how he has no chin. You know, that Alex just touched him once and put him in the orbit.

He's like, I got no fucking chin.

Bro, did you hear what he said?

It might have been with Nina. Drama. She's great. So is the game plan to go in there? Obviously, the Achilles heel for Izzy is grappling.

This is what's great about Sean Strickland. He's been able to stay relevant regardless. Like, he's won already. He's won at the game of MMA. That is not easy.

I got it as a tattoo. It seems like something. He's got to be crazy, like a fox.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1950s ABC movie.

I tell you, he's a real swell guy.

Sounds like what the UFC sends you when you retire.

Crazy like a fox.

Crazy like a fox. Foxes aren't crazy at all.

No, they're real sweet little animals.

They're super sober and very predictable.

They're in my yard all the time now because I have chickens.

Oh, snap. Are they grabbing any?

I'm going to have to kill some foxes. I'm really sad about that. This episode is brought to you by Experian. How many subscriptions do you have? It might take you longer than you think to figure it out.

They'll get in your chicken coop.

Yeah. And my dog rolls in their shit.

Hell, yeah.

It's the most depressing thing. It's the worst. I let him out. I let him out the other night. And he's out, and he's sniffing around.

Oh, God.

Now I know I have to clean it.

And then, when I got inside, he didn't want me to clean it. So he kept that side of the ground. And I'm like, dude, that's so gross.

My dog in New York City.

So it's on the ground now, and I have to physically roll him over and wash it off.

My dog in New York City used to roll in bum, diarrhea. That was always a good time. What? Oh, yeah. That was Clancy, right?

I thought they were donkeys.

No, Anatolian shepherds.

I thought he said he had a donkey. He's got a donkey. He has a donkey, and the donkey scares away the wolves. No, no, no.

It's the Anatolian shepherds. He's got two Anatolian shepherds that keep even the falcons out of there. He hasn't lost one animal since those two were around. Yeah, they're amazing.

So that's their job, and they know it's their job.

And they'll sit right next to a baby lamb and won't touch it.

Isn't that wild? Like Australian shepherds, like Australian sheep herding dogs. They're like corral kids. Yes. They're like, come on, get over this.

I grew up with one, and my dad would have me and my brother run in a park, and they would fucking circle us around. It's a city dog.

You know what the fuck they do. They circle around you, like, get back, get back, we got you.

Only English sheepdogs will do that. If you have a party, they will herd everybody into a circle.

I had one. My dog is a retriever. I did not teach him to bring the ball back. No. I mean, he just did it immediately.

It is prey drive.

No, to bring it back is not prey drive.

It's a retriever. Yeah, it's a retriever.

It's like they bred that into them. They taught that into them, and somehow or another, that genetics gets into the dog's children. Yep.

I have a pug, and it's a retard dog. I mean, they are like if crystal meth was an animal. It's just running all over the place, rolling in piss.

But that's a dog that doesn't have to have any skills. No. Yeah.

It wasn't bred for it to kill you.

It's gay as fuck. I have the gayest pug.

So what is the full card? Can we see the full card, Jamie? This is Tyson Pedro.

There's some fun heavyweights on here. Yeah, Tyson Pedro's a beast. But there's some fun heavyweights. Titu Avasa, always fun. And then that Justin Taffa-Austin Lane's fun.

Yeah, so Justin Taffa-Austin Lane.

That's a long time to play in the NFL.

Great beard.

That's a hell of an athlete.

Anton Tercali versus Tyson Pedro. That's a good fight.

That kicks off the main card. Justin Taffa-Austin Lane, they rescheduled this because when they first fought, there was an eye gouge and they had to reschedule.

What's the co-main?

Co-main is Ty and Volkov. Volkov's tough because he can make it boring. He's cool with winning by decision. Interesting. He's the favorite.

He's like a two-to-one favorite in that fight.

Ty's on the tough skid. But he grew his hair out, so I'm going with him.

Is that your thing? Is that your crew now?

Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, Doug.

Ty, he did lose some fights, but he knocked out Derrick Lewis.

But he's lost to the best of the best.

And lost to. Sergei. Sergei's a monster, though. Who else did he lose to? He lost to Cyril Ghosn and Sergei.

Yeah, he lost to Cyril Ghosn. Those were his last two.

Yeah.

But before that, he beat Derrick Lewis.

Both assassins. Sergei is the backup fighter for John Jones and Stipe. Yeah. Sergei's a monster.

Monster.

Does Jones want to fight him? I thought he didn't want to fight him.

Jones doesn't give a fuck. I think he'd beat all of them easy. But, Jones, what I think is going on is they're not big enough names, so it doesn't do anything for him right now.

No, I get that.

So he wants them to get bigger.

He wants Stipe. If he beats Stipe, it's a legacy fight. He beats the most accomplished heavyweight ever. The guy who defended the heavyweight title more than anybody.

I'll tell you who's the motherfucker. Aspinall.

Aspinall's a bad man. That guy can do it all.

He's an athlete. His dad's a black belt. He grew up doing jiu-jitsu. He's a bad motherfucker. And athletic is all get out.

And good at everything.

Crazy how he blew his knee out in that fight, right? Crazy. He throws one leg kick, pulls it back, and it just pops out. Out of nowhere, you see his knee shift.

He's the one. I think he beat Sergei. I think he dragged Sergei into later rounds, beats him.

Well, you remember what Alistair did to Sergei. Did people forget? People forget. Alistair. beat the shit out of Sergei.

Took him down and fucked him up.

Oh, okay.

Beat the fuck out of knocking motherfuckers cold.

I think he changed his game. I mean, it's just like everything's different. He's just different confidence level, different success level.

I think Aspinall beats him all.

Interesting. You think he beats John?

That, I don't know. I'm saying out of the contenders, Aspinall's the most talented.

My hope is that Francis fights, Tyson, Fury, gets the big money, and then there's some shenanigans. Yeah.

Get out of the contract. Wait, what do you mean?

They bring him back. They offer him big money to fight John Jones after John Jones beats Stipe. UFC 300..

There we go.

John Jones, Francis Ngannou.

Take my money.

Let's go.

You're putting all your money on John?

All my money. Every dime.

Here's the thing. UFC would be smart to do that too, because the Tyson Fury fight is going to be gigantic. It's going to be a big cultural fight. I think the WBC is giving them a belt.

Oh, is there a belt online now?

Some wacky belt.

Yeah, those are the best.

It's like BMF.

I like cheddar belts.

I do that with my brother. I just make up belts and beat him up and then take the belt. That's what I do all the time.

I don't know what the belt is, but they've created a belt.

Baddest man on the planet.

Yeah, why not? Oh.

Get the new Riyadh championship belt. So the Saudi Arabia championship belt. Well, good for them. Hey, bro, what they're doing over there is wild.

They're throwing wild amounts of money at things. They just pay attention. It's only a matter of time before it starts leaking into other sports. They've already done it with golf. They did it with Liv.

Dude, have you seen how much they're spending on these soccer players?

It's insane money. A billion. And then they're starting to slide in the DMs to NBA players. They're going to start to slowly infiltrate and take over everything.

Nobody has money like the house.

Was it Terrence Crawford that said someone should buy them all up? Was it him? Yeah. So what Terrence Crawford said is someone should buy all the organizations.

That's a great idea.

Boxing or MMA?

Boxing. They spend like a billion dollars, he said, and you buy all of them. You buy the WBC. You buy the WBO. You buy the IBF.

The Saudis are listening right now? Yeah.

If they're listening right now, gentlemen, please, I will tweet about it. I will support this 100%. What's going on there?

That's LeBron inside. LeBron's over there?

Of course. Bro, they have so much money.

Dude, it's crazy.

They can get us to do a podcast over there. We should do a Fight Companion from Saudi Arabia. We don't go to jail. We don't go to jail.

We've got to do an Abu Dhabi for what we do. We've got to do an Abu Dhabi.

In Abu Dhabi. we can get away with it.

Maybe we can do it in Jordan.

You and I have been invited to Jordan by the King of Jordan. I just got a text about that.

Weird.

I want to go. Does he get to go?

That's not weird.

Me and him can't go?

Come on, bro. You know what? I'll see what I can do. We'll talk later. That's a great country.

That's very interesting. I know.

We can go hunting.

Imagine if we just decided to start doing the podcast from another country.

Let's do it. Did you ever hear of the house that got the money?

It's really wild in this country.

Why wouldn't we go?

And then someplace like Dubai is like,

gentlemen, we don't really give a fuck about weed.

Get over here. Come on over here. They actually do, though. They do. They do a lot.

But you don't want to fuck around and get caught.

No, I would never. Bro, when I go overseas, I bring new luggage. I'm not kidding. I buy new luggage. I'm not kidding.

Oh, wow.

I buy new luggage.

So that way, this luggage is brand new.

Nothing's ever been in this luggage except my clothes. right now. That's it. Stack, stack, stack. We're good.

Oh, yeah. That's Turkey.

Yeah.

Do you know what they do in North America with the drug mules? Where they ask you to take this bag, and then there's all this crazy shit.

So when I lived in Saudi Arabia, there was a 14-year-old kid in Tehran who smoked, who had a joint. And I believe they gave that kid 20 years.

Rightfully so.

Rightfully so. And listen, when I had to go away to boarding school because my parents were still in Saudi Arabia, because the Saudis—.

Is this when your dad was running the house of Saudi Arabia's bank?

No, my father was a banker. Now, listen, be quiet.

Nobody ran the house of Saud.

We'll get to that in a moment.

We'll get to that in a second.

It's too early for a conspiracy theory.

Stop spreading rumors, dude. We'll get to that in a moment.

I'll tell you about the house of Saud.

Just don't interrupt. I got roots.

I got roots. But they would sit us down when I was 13, and we couldn't. So I had to go away to high school because the Saudis were like, we can't have these foreigners having a high school because they're going to do stuff, and we're going to have to come bring the hammer down. So all of us, by the time we were 14, had to all go away to boarding school because there was no school for you.

Unless Trump's on your side.

Singapore, same thing. Singapore, they would hang people.

Well, look at what happened with Brittany Griner. She had a vape pen in Russia. But that's political. All political. Like any other time, I don't think they would have done anything.

Yeah, so they say.

And gender reassignment surgery with kids.

Shut up, CIA boy. Why are you guys calling me CIA boy? They're fucking talking about it openly on television. So letting everyone know that this stuff is not good for you. It's not good to have pesticides and herbicides and Monsanto spread all over.

And you're buying it.

You're buying Putin dropping green info.

Why am I buying it? I'm not buying anything. You're a Putin shill. What I'm saying is they're talking about it on television, Brian.

You're a Putin shill.

Brian, you're being annoying. They're talking about it on television.

They're calling me CIA, and I'm being annoying.

Yeah, but your dad was in the CIA, and you talk like a CIA guy.

It's out of nowhere.

What I'm saying is it sucks when a country that you really like is doing something or you really don't like. You know, you're not supposed to like Russia. Right. I like them so much. I like so much about them.

I like the confidence on the Swede. He's got a lot of confidence.

He's a good fighter. They're both really good. Yeah, I love Pedro. Tyson, Pedro was out for a while, and he came back much better.

That boy is tatted.

I was going to say, look at those tats. Very happy with that tat.

Those ones on his legs and his lower back, them are the painful ones where they tap you.

With the wooden stick?

What does that do? Heart attack.

It takes like seven weeks.

The ancient way, where they have like a stick, and they hold it over your body, and they have another stick that has a needle in it, and they dip that in the ink, and they go tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Damn.

So it takes longer. Yeah.

What do you mean? So it's not a gun? No, no. It's like a stick with a needle on the end of it.

It's a wooden stick, B.

Damn. It looks like, Jamie, pull up a traditional tapping tattoo.

A wooden fork.

It looks so painful.

That's that Yakuza, shit, man.

Yeah, they did a lot of the old Yakuza tattoos like that. In fact, David Lee Roth got all his tattoos done that way. Really? Yeah, all his tattoos are tapped in.

I hate getting tattoos.

What is the symbolism behind those tattoos?

I fell asleep when I was getting tattoos. You're a gangster. Really? Yeah, I fell asleep.

That's a great tattoo, though. If you're going to go-.

I only did once. I did like 50 hours, 60 hours of tattoos on both arms. So this is, let's see how they do it. Ooh. So this is a different one.

That doesn't feel good.

No, but this is the ancient way to do it. Before they had those machines that went,

and rotated quick. And they put the ink in your skin.

Yes, they're just literally digging that needle into your skin and putting-.

It looks like it covers a lot more ground faster.

No, those fucking long machines that they have.

Have you seen the new electric ones that don't make a sound?

They don't make a sound?

Oh, oh, oh, here we go, here we go.

Sorry, we're not paying attention. See if you can find tapping, tapping tattoos.

Oh, he trapped him.

It's over, it's over. That's it. Yeah, baby.

Oh, look at him. Oh, katana.

Look at that.

There we go, respect. Oh, I like that. I like that finish.

That was sick.

I like that, I like that celebration.

That arena's going fucking nuts.

Tyson Pedro, let's go. Yeah, in Australia.

Way to kick it off, daddy.

Bro, look how big this place is. Where are they? Just Maori.

Oh, Australia sells-. This thing sold out before they even announced the main event.

Oh, I'm sure.

Wait, is it Samoa? Who's in Australia? I guess it's a mix of Tongan, Samoan, Maori. It's all-.

Is this showing how they do it? Yeah, so this is the tapping.

This dude has one on his eye.

So this is how they tap. So the tapping thing, see how they do it. like this? That looks like a wood thing. Yeah.

I'll let that guy tap me.

Yeah, that guy's got crazy tattoos on his face.

That soundbite's going to haunt you.

Look at his face, man. That motherfucker got his eyelid. That's what I'm saying.

That's hardcore.

I'll let him tap me.

I wonder if he got his eyelids tapped.

Man, I want a face tattoo. bad. Do you? I really do. You don't want to work anymore?

Who gives a fuck?

I don't know. I wish I had some Samoan in me. That's all I think about.

Let's go.

I see Post Malone's tattoos on his face. I'm like, God. I'd be down for the neck. I'd be down for the neck. Just something little.

I'd do my hands.

I got this. I got this. I got my kids' names.

I might do my hands.

He's a great dude, too.

Anton?

No, Tyson.

Yeah, he's great.

I did a shoot with him and Ty. They're boys. Super close.

All day, all day, all night.

Just out of his head, like.

Some boy.

Look how thick Daniel is.

Oh, he's a tank. Whenever Daniel and I work together, I bring him snacks. I do. Keto snacks or real snacks? No, real snacks.

My mouth is watering.

I bring bags of these things with me. It's my go-to snack. It's been for a long time now. And I bring them to every UFC. I took a picture on my Instagram.

Nice.

While we're doing the broadcast. Those are the best.

In between the fights?

In between the fights, yeah. There it is, carnivore snacks. That stuff is the shit, I'm telling you.

Wow.

I love that stuff. It's so delicious. And it's so simple. It's just salt and beef. And if you're hungry, you want a snack.

Can I eat late night?

You told me about that stuff.

That's what I need. I like to graze at night.

Yeah.

Is Hamzat in the crowd?

Hamzat is in Dubai right now in war mode. That guy, I guarantee you that guy, doesn't fuck around when he's in training.

Those videos of him striking look scary to me.

He's an animal. But so is Paulo Costa. And they fucking hate each other. So Costa's motivated. You got to remember that Paulo Costa, that guy, walked down, Yoel Romero.

That was a hot second ago, though, Joe. It was a long time ago. He's the same guy who fought, Luke Rockwell.

Right. But, you know, and also Marvin Vittori. Yeah. Didn't look good in that fight because he was way overweight. True.

He's so talented. Motherfucker's bodied up, too. He's bodied up.

He's bodied up. He's bodied up.

You might be. Let's get real. You might be.

Who's better? Alan Joban and him are now. Alan retired? He did retire. Yeah.

Okay. It's his defeat.

Drew Dober's, a handsome motherfucker.

Oh, that jaw for days.

He's a handsome motherfucker. That jaw, go quit.

And that body. Ooh.

You ain't lying.

But you got to go height. We got to get height. We got to go with height.

I love homoerotic fight companion. That's the best.

I got this Olberg kid. Anybody got any track? Olbergs. Olbergs.

You don't get any more handsome than Carlos Olberg. You just get different. Yeah.

That's fair. I mean, he's honorable mention.

There's like a level of hot with a woman. You don't get hotter than that.

You just get different. Different flavor.

That's right. Yeah. This episode is brought to you by Experian. How many subscriptions do you have? It might take you longer than you think to figure it out.

Best looking overall to Luke Rockhold?

No, he's on the UFC.

No, I'm saying overall.

You like him because you look like a smaller version of him.

No, Young Vitor. I wish. Young Vitor.

Not bad.

Not bad.

Good looking dude.

Young Vitor is a handsome motherfucker.

Little Machida, young too?

Young Machida is a handsome motherfucker too.

Dimed up, dude.

Uh oh, here we go.

Y'all must have forgot.

Oh, they're already going.

No, they're not. These are highlights for Austin Lane.

Oh, this was the last time.

This one's going to be a quick one. So the next, this one, the one after, but this one's going to be a quick one. This one ain't going past the first. If it does, it's going to get sloppy.

Interesting. There's a fun bet for all these lending in the first round.

Yeah. I like that bet.

What's the bet on this one?

He is climate activist.

So this is a rematch of Justin Toffin. Yeah. Okay.

Because DQ, because the eye poke. So they put it on this card.

Man, eye pokes. I mean.

Oh, Jesus Christ. That's a bad eye poke.

Leon Edwards and Bilal Mohammed never did it again.

Isn't that a bummer?

That's a bummer, man.

That division's a shit show.

Well, it's very talented.

No, it's super talented, but there's not a lot of activity going on. It's all fucking, we're just waiting.

It's a little held up, but once Colby and Leon get after it, which may happen either December or November.

What about my boy, Mohammed?

I would love to see him get a shot.

How long has he got to wait, though?

I like him. Yeah, but that's the sensible fight. The Colby fight makes sense. It does make sense. He's the most dangerous guy in the division other than Leon Edwards.

I get why they're doing it. It's a smart thing to do.

It's a smart fight to do.

Business wise, for sure.

It is a smart fight. It's just a good fight. And then Bilal clearly is right there. And Hamzat really fucked up when he didn't make weight against Kevin Holland. Big time.

I think he gets the next title shot at middleweight. If Izzy wins, I think Hamzat, if he does how a lot of people online think he's going to do against Paulo Costa, I think he's next. And Duplessis is going to be in a tough spot.

Yeah.

Do you think Costa can handle his wrestling?

Do I think Paulo Costa? No.

No, no. We're going to find out, because he handled Yoel Romero's wrestling. Costa's not an easy guy to take down. Not at all. He's an athletic freak.

Humped him like a doggy.

Izzy humped him.

Straight up humped him.

Izzy humped him. Do you remember Costa before?

That'll fuck your soul, dude. That'll fuck you up.

That's something special.

As a man? That's a smoking crack?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's a little special touch.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
