White thanks for joining us man thanks for having me man so uh you're from you're from Boston yeah so my my but you're also from Vegas yeah I got to I don't know the story I so I bounced around a lot when I was a kid you know we grew up uh back there they were paying nurses more here than anywhere in the country in like the late 70s and my mom moved me and my sister out to Vegas I was in fourth or fifth grade stayed here till I was uh in high school then went back to Boston after I graduated wow then came back here when I was 26 so I bounced back and forth actually really lucky that I was able to have that East Coast West Coast upbringing it was awesome yeah and this is that was before Vegas was really 250,000 people here when we moved here it's it's really like the last five years everyone has left California came out here I mean it's crazy well now that sports are here it's turned into a big Sports town and you know I mean they're going to have [ __ ] ping pong here pretty soon man I mean everything they do here slap I I literally just went to slap my guy I slap I I literally just went to the WNBA game a couple nights ago at at at mlay Bay there wasn't an empty seat in the house the place was packed CH going crazy there the champ defending champs Brady owns them 100% heard what's her name called them out say hey what what the hell why why is this the first game you've been to you own us who who did one of their their stars to I got to look that one up you got to look that up I saw that well welcome to games with names and uh today we're talking about the khabib McGregor UFC C 229 fight it's a pretty crazy fight awesome fight big one that was a big one for us and uh obviously uh a ton of animosity between those two going in a ton of animosity between uh khabib and Conor's cornerman and it was just yeah it was it was crazy at this point MC McGregor he was at like the high of the high he was probably the most famous athlete on the planet 100% And you know and khabib at the time too you know and and when you think about the Muslim world you know what I mean over a billion worldwide might even be two billion now for all I know but you know and he was like the first Muslim world champion in in the UFC so stud and and it was it was crazy that like I remember this fight and all the hoopla before the hype before you know the guys throwing you know McGregor throws the the dolly through the the bus like when you're putting together the these fights there's like a there's like a probably like a a meter of where you love that kind of [ __ ] because it's building the fight and then there's a meter where you have to kind of step in and say hey boys like how does that work we're at a point now where we don't need the the craziness to build to fight you know what I mean what we need are uh just a matchup itself the fact that these are two of the best in the world and people think that I love that stuff but I don't because what happens is we're regulated by the government Bas the athletic commission is is the government and uh yeah they they they uh they don't like that [ __ ] so it it's bad when it happens and you know one of the things that I got criticized about by the media is when we were promoting the fight I promoted the whole thing that happened uh in Brooklyn um w w with the bus but but it's part of the story yeah know what I mean exactly I don't give a [ __ ] it's part of the story we told the story the way that it unfolded and how it played out and you know obviously it was a big fight lots of animosity and uh you know we were ready for what happened after but we didn't uh we didn't execute perfectly the way that we should have you know he khabib got over the cage yeah jumped into his corner and and then all you know all hell broke loose yeah it did anyone get arrested I don't think anybody got arrested uh I don't even know if I'm if the if these questions are too much we actually no no we actually got it contained pretty quickly we were expecting it we expected it to happen if you look the guys that were inside the Octagon when khabib jumps over the guy is like just is grabbing him and he gets over the cage and into the corner um but no we were anticipating it we got it under control pretty quick nobody got hurt the problem was after you know you had uh you know irish guys and and Russians and Russian guys fighting out in the and let's just say they're not drinking Waters well yeah well the drinking a lot the problem the all the Irish guys were drunk and the Muslims were sober oh my God an advantage got an advantage doubt about it so is this is this at this point going into this fight at this point of the UFC was this the greatest fight you think greatest fight was it was one of the biggest the biggest yeah I mean we've had so many great fights when you talk about a great fight with a great fight means we've had tons of great fights this is one of the biggest one of the biggest fights ever yeah it was definitely I it was like and I wasn't big in the fight game or anything but it was like I watched this this guy from Russia khabib orib and the guy's wrestling Bears when he's a kid yeah and you got this little Irishman he's a freak athlete man and he's a he's a badass dude it's I always talk about like when we talk about the [ __ ] that are in this country right now with what's going on and everything you know we talk about you know khabib's crew could come in here and probably wipe out half this country by on their own these dudes are so tough and nasty and come from such a uh a tough upbringing like [ __ ] men yeah you talk about men these dudes are like nasty dudes don't mess with Russians that's that's a that's a key note to myself especially dagistan oh my God yeah exactly any of the stands anything that ends in Stand stay away from don't exactly can you can you can you walk us through the the origin of you taking over the UFC yeah so uh back in the day you know I was involved in boxing very minor level you know uh trained guys and all that kind of stuff the biggest thing I ever did was I got a local kid here a fight with Roy Jones Jr back in the day um and I started to uh take Jiu-Jitsu with with my friends the fertita brothers they own Station Casinos here in Vegas and uh through that we fell in love W with with the sport and we started to meet a lot of the athletes and I started to manage Chuck Liddell in Tito Ortiz I got into a contract dispute with the old owner of the UFC his name is Bob meit out in New York and uh he flipped out of me one day uh and said you know what there is no more money left we might not have enough money to do the next event so I was like we hung up the phone I was like oh [ __ ] so I literally hung up and called the fertitas and said I think the UFC is going out of business I I I think we could buy it and I think we should so wow Lorenzo wi into negotiations with uh with merwitz and a couple months later we own the UFC for $2 million God damn two how many how two million bucks two million what are they worth now you guys how much well we sold it back in 2016 for uh 4.25 billion and now it's worth 12 is the UFC right now where your original Vision yeah was at that point or or you still think it get even big I still have a ton of vision for it that we're still working on a lot of things that you know I was dreaming about back in 2001 yeah it's it's crazy you guys handled it like almost like the NFL thanks like as far as like just the professionalism and like how you guys handle all the the the deals with the the the sponsors and all the guys have their like everyone has to wear rebok right well the rebok deal is over now yeah with the company called Venom now but yeah ven or even that I mean that's very look at that's Richie Incognito [ __ ] we won't hey No Bully No Bully all these dudes are here I know Richie Cognito that dude has some of the best feet we used to work out together right when all that [ __ ] was going down about the bullying in Miami he's definitely a bully but you got to have a bully on team you got to have a bully on team he's there's a bully there's bullies everywhere you need that [ __ ] bullies are everywhere but you got to deal with bullies especially on the offensive line you want to [ __ ] bully on the offensive line 100% ex I mean that guy used to have crazy but that's crazy now you grew up in in Boston and Vegas now you're Boston fan yes of all Boston Sports yeah yeah yeah yeah oh hell yes yes yes I'm Boston I'm still a Boston guy I live in Vegas but I'm I'm a I'm Patriots Celtics Red Sox I'm not a big hockey fan but going with the Bruins now you got any uh kid stories of you going to any games or anything or we didn't have that kind of money to really go to games I went to a couple baseball games when I was young um but I didn't really start going to Celtics games until I you know started making money and Patriots and you know I was at the I was at the uh the Super Bowl when you guys came back in Atlanta and won the won the Super Bowl that night it was incredible what an incredible experience first of all I tell Brady this all the time I'm G to tell you now you gave me and my family 20 of the best years of our life man just the Patriots run that that every Sunday I stayed home and I watched all the games my kids grew up we grew up in you know they born and raised in Vegas but they grew up Patriots fans and just what what an amazing uh what an amazing experience and an amazing time during your run at the at New England was incredible yeah it was it was it was a hell of a run but you know in Vegas now how about Vegas having all these sports team that's pretty [ __ ] badass this should have been a this this is by Design This is the the entertainment capital of the world by Design This is a sports town you know the gaming thing was just always you know a big problem for people now that they figured out the gaming side this is without a doubt going to be one of the biggest and best sports Towns how the world how are the like are are the locals of Vegas are they like becoming Raiders like are they Raiders fans or is it because anytime you see a way team come and play the Raiders a lot of the fan base in that stadium is usually you know 100% well it makes sense when you think about the Brilliance of it if you're going to go to an away game you want to go to Vegas you're going to Vegas with your boys 100% right it's it's a no-brainer um but yeah I mean the uh the locals that live here have embraced the teams like for instance the golden knights huge man I mean it's huge here in Las Vegas everybody and what was funny is in the beginning I had an opportunity to invest in the golden kns I'm like hockey in Vegas that's ridiculous but I was way off on that one man it is huge here but now you drive on the freeways here you see the golden knights license plates the Raiders license plates and yeah it's a big Sports to I mean every sport they're gonna have [ __ ] ping pong team here pretty soon I mean every sport in the world is coming to Vegas it's it's hard not to capitalize on it if you're a professional League yep you know I mean it's it's a slam dunk now that the teams have actually done it I agree it's been insane uh Vegas is a sports City versus Boston is sports city easy right I mean listen the one thing that Vegas doesn't have is the history you know what I mean tradition we're going to build the history here you know over the next 30 Years but uh Boston has such a great history of sports you know it's like Boston New York Philly Chicago it's uh you know we don't have that yet but this is the place to come if you want to go to an away game it's kind of like uh what is it Great Gatsby there's East egg and West Egg this is like East egg people over here you know it's it's still a little new but they're still they still got some money out here you know as far as loving Equity of sport can you give us the origin of [ __ ] it Friday yeah so uh I started to uh I I like food and uh I we ate we put together this thing one day it was uh when Popeye's chicken sandwiches came out I was like one the crackheads that was running down there and getting popey you were fighting over that [ __ ] it was insane I'm not [ __ ] you this happened I had a guy that worked at at popey he was he was tucking them out the back door to us we were paying him he was putting them out the back door CU they they were literally running out there were big lines I got a guy kicking him out the back door for me for some money so um we ended up taking uh one of the Popeye's chicken sandwiches and making a sandwich with Crispy Cream Donuts oh wow so the donuts were the bread and the and the pope ice chicken and that was how [ __ ] Friday began I I ate it it was awesome and and uh that started the whole thing and it all takes place at the UFC headquarters it's one of the biggest things I do on social media I I watch it every time I post that just on my stuff it does over two million views you know everybody loves food man everyone loves food I mean look at you know the L pre from barsal I mean the pizza he's killing it the Pizza reviews kill it what NFL player you think could come into the cage and be well and do well well it's interesting because a lot of uh NFL players Harden right Harden did it Greg Hardy Hardy Greg Hardy yeah a lot of uh there's been a lot of crossover we've had college players um and NFL players come in and and and and do well yeah you know what I mean uh you're talking about big explosive powerful athletic guys um who don't mind getting hit yeah it's it's it's it's a different thing like we were talking before we we hopped on I started taking up boxing and and it's so different if you're not like I couldn't imagine going and fighting a guy like a khabib or some guy that's been doing this since he was two years old right I mean that's different though but but look at the athlete for your size yeah look at the success you had in the NFL now imagine if at at your age when you started playing football you started training to mixed martial arts you would have done something you absolutely positively would have been somebody in the sport you know ID St PR yeah who do you play for Tennessee oven St PR OSP yeah he played for Tennessee he was a good player of Tennessee he actually did really well and has been in the UFC for like 10 years wow yeah football player man the football players are are as far as physical attributes and and you could be the greatest physical specimen of all time and you know this better than anybody you have to like to get hit everyone's got a plan till you get hit in the face as Mike Tyson said that's it and you were one of these fast small guys cutting across the middle wide open with Lineback Packers that were three times your size hitting you yeah and uh so you know I think you would have done damn well in the UFC so we have a segment where we like to go back in the date and go over Pop Culture so this date was October 6 2018 number one movie Venom did you see that Venom I did yeah I did you like it I didn't I Tom Hardy Tom Hardy I didn't love it it wasn't my fa you know what it didn't live up to the hype well the whole uh comic book thing has gone through the roof to just yeah yeah but in a different way different I just some of those movies I can't Iron Man one incredible right original probably the greatest comic m movie of all time original Spider-Mans were [ __ ] good Spider-Mans are good y exactly they got started doing them all time the the first Dark Knight I liked uh the the Christopher Nolan Batman's yeah those are the best I think those are the best AG did you hear that he's about to do uh the James Bond I heard talks I like that Christopher only the guy who directed those dark nights he might be doing the the first X-Men really good that was really good yep man around this time October 4 Tom Brady becomes the third NFL quarterback to record 500 career touchdown passes in a 38-24 win over the Colts couldn't happen to a better guy on a better team against a shittier team we love talking smack about the Colts anything bad you got to say about the Colts you know what I bet you know what's funny and I'm in a I'm in a very odd place now because Dalton concade played football with my son and kind of grew up with with my son and now he's a Buffalo Bill all the places he ends up is a Buffalo Bill so all all obviously we're rooting for him and we love him but another one pukaa stua grew up so I I funded the team that he played on with my kids he's from Vegas yeah yeah he's a Vegas kid he grew up with my kids since they were this big and uh so we're really proud of him we're obviously proud of Dalton and it's and it is impossible I to not love the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills I I [ __ ] love him man he is an absolute stud yeah he's he's a stud he it's the Buffalo Bills like you said dude every time we play them even when when you guys were dominant and good the Buffalo Bills were always a problem they were always tough to play and uh but they were they were Front Runners they never they never got to the you know they spent 20 years trying to design a team to beat us and anytime you play in that division regardless of Records or anything it's always a super tough game because you see him twice a year you guys see him twice a year every year every time we play Buffalo even when we and the AFC you'd end up in the you know I just I like to you know I think of it like this you know like when we were we were the big brother of the division absolutely for 20 years right now it's probably bu you guys were the Champs you guys were the Champs all those years no matter what even when you know we didn't win the championship you guys were were Champs and and you were the team to beat exactly and and and right now Buffalo's probably the older brother of the divion right now but it's kind of like I I tell the Buffalo fans which I'm always around Buffalo fans and they're awesome fans but I tell them like at least when we were the big like the big brother of the division we go out in the block and beat the [ __ ] out of everyone else now our older brother is getting his ass beat every time he goes out and tries to fight other people right you know it's like what's going on Buffalo we got to get on this but you are right when you think about the fans of Buffalo talk about people who have been first of all you got to go out and and watch your team in the nastiest [ __ ] weather of all time okay the nastiest weather other than uh uh the Packers you know what I mean other than the Packers the nastiest weather ever um your team is always the brides made never the bride they never make it and and every year you guys I I God bless all of you Buffalo fans you guys are always every time I talk to you this is our year this is our year they love their football not your year they love I I respect the [ __ ] out of those fans I never been flipped off so many times and it's by so many different age groups I've talked about it on the Pod so many times I mean three year olds to 90 year olds flipping you off when you're leave a you know who else it's true I I love buffalo fan I love their passion I love especially the Celtics we go into Philly right Philly so I would go to these big you know the Philly versus the Celtics and we're getting into the playoffs and I come walking in and I wear my Celtics gear and stuff boo they're yelling at me you got some balls wearing that UFC sucks you know they're all [ __ ] yelling at me the whole time that I'm there we sit and God God if we can walk out of that Arena that night with a win man it is the best feeling in the world I'm like it it's just I love the Rivalry between Philly and Boston it's so fun they're very similar cities so true you know I mean well you got New York uh Philly and then you got Buffalo so th those three rivalries are so fun they are East Coast cold weather people tough people Blue Collar people 100% throwing batteries at Santa if you're in Philly I mean it's crazy and tons of sports history tons of History you grew up with puka n did you ever think that this kid would my kids did my kids grew up with puka yeah I mean yeah like was he grew up in our house yeah was he was he balling balling so when when we used to fund a team me and Lorenzo used to fund a team called the little Cowboys here in Vegas and he was on the little Cowboys um with my kids in bunch of other guys that are playing right now you know what I mean um there's a kid named Caillou uh he's playing with uh he just got I think he's with Seattle and then um you know there's a few kids that went to the NFL from that team yeah and and and good colleges too and to see puka doing what he's doing now it's just it's so it could not happen to a better human being when you meet this kid you will love this kid he's such a good kid smiling always always smiling and crazy thing to me is that it's so hard for a rookie receiver which he's not like a overly dominant athletic guy right like a Jamar Chase who came in his rookie year and bald out you know but to be able to gain the trust of a quarterback which you know he was kind of forced in that role with Cooper cup not playing but on any situational play Matthew Stafford for those first four weeks was looking at puka AO and he was being a dep Dependable reliable receiver across that mle I mean it's been really impressive there's a lot of there's a lot of great athletes I mean Bryce Harper's from out here there's like it's like a little Hub of it's true studs and it's actually been that way for I I went to school with Marty Cordova I don't know if you remember him but he was a 1995 American League rookie of the year he played for the Minnesota Twins and uh you know he grew up with us there's been lots of people that have come out of Vegas yeah it's crazy we got get back to to UFC that's why we're here we're talking hell yeah found not the founder the guy who took it over bought it for $2 million sold it for 4 now we merged with WWE can you can you explain that real quick I'm getting off my script because I don't I don't it's all good uh yeah so what we did was we went public uh couple years ago with Endeavor um Endeavor went out and and and you know did a deal with Vince and the WWE to merge UFC and WWE uh under the same stock uh ticker symbol TKO yeah and you know I think he felt like there were a lot of synergies like if you look at the UFC we are we are a [ __ ] dialed in machine yeah and I think that when you looked at the WWE uh already saw some some opportunities to go out and cut new TV deals because their TV deals were up and get that sponsorship number up uh licensing and a lot of other things that he could add a lot of value to that would make this a very

let's get back into this fight how important of a character is Conor McGregor for the UFC well we've had when you think about my business it's very star driven so you know when we started out we had Chuck Liddell Anderson Silva Ronda Rousey I mean you think of all the stars that have come up and and every Star that that has been built in the UFC has helped take the I'll give you an example like Matt Hughes right you remember Matt Hughes yeah came out to a Country Boy Can Survive and he appealed to a certain audience Chuck Liddell had the Mohawk you know and knock people out at a time when people didn't really understand the ground game and then you had somebody like Anderson Silva who was like the Bruce Lee of the UFC at that time he could do anything so you had all these different characters with different personalities from different places who help take the sport to another level then comes Conor McGregor and one of the things that I always talk about with Conor McGregor is that everybody thinks they're Irish when you think about you know you go all over the world you think about St Patty's Day and you know the Irish bars and everybody thinks they're Irish the Irish thing is really powerful so he comes out incredible personality he's from Ireland and he can actually fight too yeah so it was like it was such a home run and it just uh you know he he took us to a whole another level throughout Europe and other parts of the world what what what what makes him a special fighter his his hands length he was a lot of things with Connor one of one of the things with Connor is let's start with his personality he's got this Magnetic Personality that you were just drawn to he's he's incredibly witty his trash talk is Ali level um you know his Persona is Ali level he's a guy that transcends all sports yeah you know he's one of the guys that when he walks into a room everybody's like holy [ __ ] that's Conor mcgreg yeah what about his fight style yeah he's one of these guys he can do anything he likes to stand up he's got heavy hands he can knock you out um and his ground game isn't bad either you know so but people like to see him stand up and knock you out yeah Jack can you set the stage for this fight let's jump into the fight yeah let's get into this thing um so as we touched on earlier the leadup I mean this goes back two or three years Trash Talk camps are fighting slapping in the hallways we got the dolly through the uh and it's crazy because they were they were kind of boys at the very very beginning and didn't khabib he kind of like there was kind of a parallel rise right Conor at the very beginning keep going like their rise was quas like parallel is you're absolutely right their rise it was at the same time and uh you know the problem that you're talking about with these two when you say they were boys they were never really boys it was like a mutual hey whatever you're dealing with two hardcore [ __ ] Alpha men assassins 100% these guys are both killers they both want to be the best they both want to win and they're both willing to fight anybody and do anything to be the best so when you get those two type of guys there is no be buddies those two are on a collision course before they even knew they were yeah um yeah as we touched on earlier also I mean these two camps like it was just animosity at every turn and a clash of styles too like you got khabib cold calculated tough just will do the fight like great wrestler ground game great ground game I mean a machine almost like I don't know like how do you even beat him like it it seems impossible I mean I know no one's done it I'm GNA tell you one of the things that's super unfortunate for us but very fortunate for khabib you know um the fact that I mean this guy I would have loved to have seen him go on longer so much more Sanders is when his dad passed away he kind of sucked all the energy his dad was his trainer yeah grown up and trained a whole camp and everything else and the dad had a vision that khabib would be the champion then when khabib retired Islam would come in and be the champion let me tell you what you want to talk about one of the greatest coaches in the history of the sport that's never talked about khabib nurmof's Dad yeah you know what I mean when you think about what that guy built so um the problem was in the Muslim world is he became this huge meast star in the Muslim world so after he beat Conor McGregor he went on like this tour of all the Muslim countries so he's he's going into turkey he's going into Saudi Arabia he's going to Abu Dhabi he's going over to Dubai and they're raining on I mean he didn't even make it back to his dressing room after the fight and Putin was on the phone and Putin gave him and his father like $20 million worth of property in in in Russia um then he went into you know the Muslim territories where these guys are just cars money what gyms whatever whatever he wants wanted so once you get to that level it's it's it's like what we're dealing with with Conor McGregor Conor McGregor lives on a yacht in the middle of wherever the warmest place in the world is at that time and you know it's just and he's showing you oh man I live vicariously on Instagram well once you get to that level man it's just you're not getting up and getting punched in the face every day anymore just you know isib the greatest greatest of all time is Jon Jones Jon Jones J Jones Jon Jones he's still J is undefeated khabib was undefeated too but I would have liked to seen khabib more do more Jon Jones has been around forever he's fought everybody in the light heavyweight division now he's in the heavyweight division beating guys like take three years off Ali never looked the same after three years he took three years off Jon Jones went in and made sirel Gan look like he'd never fought in his life who you know I mean Jones is the greatest ever he's so long and he's never been beat never been beat man he doesn't know what losing feels like he's never lost think of that who's the NFL equivalent to khabib though as a player it's tough well it's it is because you know you guys have so many Legends you guys have so much history in the sport there's so many Legends in your sport it's hard to say you know we're we're 30 years old but you know the the the the sport that me and the fertita started is is 23 years old so we're still a we're still a kid compared the n and some of these other sports czy and the lead up of this one I'd be remissed if we didn't talk numbers kabib Ed this thing 26 and0 coming off a win over Alli quenta not that long a year earlier Connor 21 and three but hadn't fought since uh the Mayweather so there was a lot of talk would he have fared better if he'd had a little appearance in the Octagon in between that you think he should have had a little a tuneup fight no that we don't do tuneup fights here that's not how this works tuneup fights are like a boxing [ __ ] thing no Stepping Stones no stepp stone for not UFC [ __ ] no yeah there's no such thing for the belt baby double jamp um yeah no he uh it's it's part of the problem listen in this sport when when you have to be a very special kind of person to have 50 80 100 million in the bank and still come out and compete at that level because part of what makes you so badass here there two things part of what makes you so badass here is hunger all the things you want right um and and number two is once you get to a level of success and monetary success how do you keep [ __ ] training that hard and everybody that's under you is training to beat you just like you said that happened you know in the NFL and in the AF FC right everybody was training that year to beat the Patriots breaking down your film breaking down your plays breaking down your defense everything they saw was to beat you that's what happens when you're the best in the UFC you're measuring stick yep that's what they call measuring stick team guy fight fighter what Dana said made me think of that line from Rocky when he say the worst thing you can become is civilized rock you wouldn't became civilized wasn't that it Ro you know what's fascinating is with Stallone you know Stallone's such a big fight fan when I see fight movies they're [ __ ] goofy to me it's probably like when you watch a [ __ ] football movie it's like this is the dumbest [ __ ] [ __ ] that I've ever seen in my life it's literally nothing like any of this but Stallone always had this way of you know when you watch the [ __ ] Rocky movie man your ass was getting up at six o'clock the next morning and going to work out and start training they were so motivational and he always had these these things that were were true sayings about being involved in boxing or some type of combat sport the origin of my beard is because of Rocky 4 is it really when Russia yeah when you remember he wanted to go to Russia and he wanted to be [ __ ] l i saw Rocky one two three and four a million times man my you can't you can't not turn it on so true I mean it's always on a TBS or some Channel I mean if you're on channels anymore probably kind of what's your favorite Rocky everybody makes the argument with me that like Rocky one should be your favorite no that's right it's it's cinematography wise yeah and they got all the the best but I loved I loved three and four three was my favorite Mr T Clubber Lang you know what I mean so good and and the training sequences that he had you know Clubber Lang when he was coming up but four was great too I love four Russian and uh yeah three and four are my are my two favorites I loved three because just like we were just talking about you know he kind of was up there and he's beating all those guys and then it gets a little harder when you're the champ you know you lose that hunger and then you got that hungry guy that's coming in there who you know my dad used to say that when I come home from training he go you out train those six guys what we talking about the six guys in high school are coming take your job right now they're coming up right now and you know it's true you know and that's what glubber Lang was he was that one guy and then Rocky had to get a little rhythm he had to go to La get a little rhythm you're right well it was kind of like the uh they were no they went to Philly yep didn't he go to Philly he went to LA though no Philly is where they went they ended up at some gym in Philly that that paollo Creed used to work at I thought that was an LA no it was Philly that's where Apollo Creed came up is that we got we got to back I'm on it I'm on I can't remember I think it's La you might be right cuz they remember they would race at the beach with Apollo oh yeah you're right well Apollo was from La yeah you're probably right I thought I thought I thought he's from Philly all right where did they train um but one of the things that Rocky 3 is about and you're we're talking about here is how he had gotten top had all the money and and H anymore yeah and then old Mick lied to him yeah well he was doing easier fights for set up with fights set up fight you can't beat him rock you can't beat him Beach I'm looking at the beach scene right now La beach scene what what what's up with dastan and producing all these great Fighters is it just because they're so [ __ ] tough out there they come out of a you know they come out of a really tough place literally wrestling Bears I'm not kidding you all the stands everything in a stand you hear that that's yeah stay away from that [ __ ] guy if that's where you hear he's from or her Jesus Valentina Shi shenko too have you uh she's a badass what's it like beating the little hosla he's awesome man I'm gonna see him uh next week are you I'm playing Abu Dhabi on Tuesday oh my God yeah I'll be with him on uh probably Wednesday or Thursday we love him over here we love I love magnetic I mean even the phone magnetic he is it's incredible I mean he he's living his best life 100% oh we we you know what just between me and the nek boys you know we've made that kid over a million dollars just you know and doing merchandise and doing fun [ __ ] with him I put him in the video game he's going to be in the video game we paid him a shitload of money for that uh you can fight has bu in a video game here pretty soon oh my God I cannot wait and it's time for the Bounty wingman question bring out the wings they're there Bounty is everyone's favorite wingman because you can't have football without wings and you can't have wings without Bounty and today's Bounty wingman question will be going to my day one wingman Kurt Delarosa best friend since birth pretty much what is the messiest situation that we've been in I want to hear your story and then I may have one um I would say the messiest situation that we have been in uh to keep it PG because you don't want to talk about being in trouble you can do you can do R um so I don't know you probably you should remember this it's the first year our city entered into Babe Ruth which was a big kind of like 13 14 15 baseball league or whatever we left we entered the the paloalto city so we're in a completely different City they have you know Park 10 teams or whatever the League's already set up like bad news hey redw Redwood City wants to join and we're going to put our own little Allstar team together because Redwood City was already a big enough City that we had 10 teams in itself already and we're like you know what we're joining this paloalto league and we're going to kind of stitch a team together to fit in this other league so we're now playing against all the kids that we usually would only play in like playoffs or allst stars or whatnot and so we're kind of like he said the the bad news Bad News Bears these people were classy and it was people had money it was also like Jules and I were kind of like oh we're kind of getting pretty good at baseball we're going to be playing shortstop in second base we had all these aspirations to be great and so we're playing at kinata kinata and the rival team I don't remember what their team was they were green that's all I can remember and they had this one dude who was like 61 210 rolled up his F he rolled up his sleeves yeah cuz he had guns he was like a pre- chunky kid you know what I mean so you know but like he rolled up his sleeves I mean how old are we so we were 13 or 14 they went to 15 it went to 15 yeah and you know you look at this guy who's 61 you know 200 plus pounds at the age of 145 probably 190 then you look at Jules and I and we're both still 410 100 lb soaking wet you know little little guys like and so there there was this one play I think we were up by like two runs already so they were getting a little frustrated and he hits a ground ball through the right side and so if you know baseball what happens is the first baseman tries to get the ball second base has to rotate to first to cover just in case you want to back door him on you know if he gets too far around so instead of him kind of running through the line he just plows right through me I get blindsided taken out and so I'm like in like a day like cartoon like you know I got dust all over me and I sit up and I just see Julian sprinting full speed Just Launch his full body into this guy threw my glove at him first yeah threw his my threw my glove first like this guy's holding me like a little [ __ ] rag dog like and you know like that's the Bounty you know pledge right there is like hey like you get in a messy situation and and you got your cleanup right here and he came to clean up the mess for me cuz uh you know that's what best friends do and I always appreciated that like [ __ ] this dude I don't sorry Bounty but yeah you remember that yeah oh yeah Kata the second Baseline you want to know how our Bad News Bears so we make the playoffs just another messy situation messy situation make playoffs get to the finals right but it's like a two- game elimination so we lost one game I think right and so then we battled our way back to the finals to play the best team that everyone knew the best team was we would have to win twice we'd have to win Twice first game we play him we're beating their ass we we're like up like what eight or nine yeah we're up eight or nine I'm not going to give no names but our goddamn [ __ ] manager not knowing the goddamn situations puts one of our boys in because he wants to get them in it's one of the last games and the next next game's like Championship you know you know what I mean puts in our final sub final sub ends up headbutting someone in something no he gets he gets caught in a pickle in a pickle between home and third and instead of just getting tagged out decides to just go full spear like into the third basem like way over the top where everyone's kind of like whoa that was a little aggressive ejected full eject we had to forame this is bottom of six all we had to do is get three more outs in the next to force a final game to the season for the championship Bad News Bears had to Forfeit [ __ ] no subs no subs Bad News Bears knocked out of the game our whole team like classless as they come like [ __ ] you guys we're all like from East Redwood City the fix is in yeah [ __ ] script it's a script [ __ ] this city I don't think they had another Redwood City team ever enter that League again we were like [ __ ] you guys and your stupid League we were Champions like literally like the Bad News Bears at the end where they like pouring like beers and stuff on them for losing the game that was us Kenny engleheart why you got to [ __ ] try to take someone's neck out bro you In the Heat of the Moment you know he got he got excited maybe that's why he was a sub though and that's our Bounty wingman question story time should we get into this uh let's get into breakdown this fight of course lightweight Championship as we know the pay-per-view buys were insane 2.4 million I believe yep oh my God was it the highest at that time yeah I mean uh the only the only pay-per-view the only pay-per-view that beat that was uh Connor and Floyd wow and Floyd and uh Pacquiao oh that's right yeah that's right but show okay so this is number one UFC yeah damn insane thought so um we all remember what happened everyone talks before and after but rounds one and two khabib kind of dominated dominated he was just like just on top of them wearing them out wearing them out I I was watching that fight I was like There's No Way Conor is gonna win this fight yeah to Conor's credit I mean if you look at when he when he fought porier you know when he grabbed on to porier and did what he did to porier he came out of that fight and was like I I was freaked out by it I I couldn't believe that somebody could do that to me was blown away by what khabib had done to him in that yeah khabib was a bad boy I would have loved to have seen more of him in his career and there was talk of stoppage in the second round people were calling for it even Joe Rogan was on the on the mic alluding to like is Herb Dean gonna stop this thing like what makes herban such a good ref well he he he does uh you know he trains too he trains and he's had a couple of fights himself um I think in the amateurs I don't know if he ever fought Pro but uh he's knowledgeable he he knows what he's doing he's he's he's one of the best refs of all time what was that call to Connor like after the bus incident you're like what are you [ __ ] doing well he he got arrested had to go to [ __ ] it's just like you got to be the commish that's when you got to put Commish hat on that's the mentality man I mean this guy khabib and his crew ran into one of Connor's buddies slapped him he called Connor and told him Connor loaded up a bunch of thugs on a plane from Ireland they jumped on a [ __ ] on a [ __ ] G650 and [ __ ] flew out here rolling deep and uh you know Jesus this is what happens when Street kids make some money [ __ ] jump on GC G650 in flat of New York and start a [ __ ] Rumble a legit Rumble it's insane oh my God what's a fight day routine like for you you get you get workout in yeah yeah every day I get in you know I'm addicted to like coal plunging and and this there's this thing called the Superhuman protocol I do it every morning every morning when I wake up and uh I work out and then I then I start my day I literally now that I'm [ __ ] 50 I I dedicate two hours of my day to my health gotta yeah since I've retired it's been so incorporate my my my life is so routine you know wake up in the morning Body Work fall drills meetings body work before practice body work after pra like when it's not your priority when you're when your body is not your priority right now you have to it's a mental toughness for a person to make it a priority so true into their day and for you what happens to a lot of athletes is how old are you now 37 37 so for the last we'll call it [ __ ] 30 years probably the last 30 years it's all been all physical for you you've just been working out and doing all this [ __ ] a lot of guys when they retire are like yeah I'm done I'm not working and they don't try to get their health back till maybe 10 years later you know I tried that like right when I got out I was so just mentally drained cuz I I tore the root of my meniscus and it was a [ __ ] grind I couldn't walk until Friday I'm playing on Sundays and like that was so raw in my head were like as soon as I retired I kind of took a chill break and I was always a guy that worked out all year round which you know was a strength but also made me I broke down my body because of it 100% And I was like depressed when you work out it releases an endorphin like it when you wake up you work out you accomplish something it's like then you're ready for the day I couldn't agree with you more that's where I'm at man that's exactly where I'm at um but yeah I could see how that could happen to to an athlete when when they retire um I got to ask you a question so you know you're you're on one of the greatest teams of all time what you guys achieved and accomplished the money the you know what it must feel like running through that [ __ ] tunnel into the stadium you know whether you're in Foxboro or you're going to another place where you're getting booed and you got the animosity and and that's fun to win how [ __ ] hard is is it to say all right I'm going to walk away from this now it's time to go was it hard or did you just feel like you know what it's time it it wasn't hard for me because I respect the game too much and when I was turning on the film I wasn't looking like me you know when you turn on the film and and and things that were so remedially easy started becoming hard like I was like all right I'm not greedy I love the game I I've I've accomplished so much from this game I've I've I've went above and beyond anything I ever expected I got to get out of here just because I pissed off a lot of people you know when you go when you're in your Prime and I remember watching guys you go against guys and when I was younger player they were in their Prime and they dominated me and then I got into my Prime and you could see that they were getting out of their Prime and you wanted to embarrass them you know there comes a point where you can get hurt out there if you're not right 100% you know you get hurt it's like this sport exactly you stick around too long you can get hurt and if you're not cutting the same way you're a millisecond off you know guys are trying to tea off on you you been on the Patriots you've won so much everyone you were circled every year you know this is the team you want to if guys were getting paid off of that game coaches were getting jobs off of beaut like so it was one of those things where it was hard and it hurt it was it hurt me mentally but it was like I was so thankful that I got to have my career where I had it I got to play on one team and I respected the game too much where you know I could have played two more years right it it would have been a [ __ ] like what are you doing I don't want to be that guy right I remember watching those guys and were you hurt the year you you you the rude of my meniscus in the beginning of the year and I and it's usually like a you can get this micr fracture surgery they go in there but it's like 12-month recovery I was 34 I was like I'm going to try to do it without it and it was just it was a grind mental you know when you're not healthy that's what wears you out because you have to go out and perform and there's a standard and there's an expectation right you you've been doing it for so long at such an elite level that like when when it's it was so hard to just get right for a Sunday I was like I can't what am I doing you know I got it was wasn't my time anymore got to hang them up it was tough how bad do you miss it I didn't start missing it until my body felt good yeah that makes sense I remember I was like there was a couple weeks in my last year where like I don't know I'm gonna [ __ ] play this game and I got like a big game plan to me you know like we were I'd have to go and run the day before the game it was covid so it was all [ __ ] weird we couldn't like practice or certain certain things and I couldn't even walk like we played against Seattle I couldn't walk the day before the game like I my knee was blowing up and it just that stress because you don't want I wanted to go out you know what I mean there's an expectation of how you're supposed to be right and that that just that wore on me and and it broke me down a little bit you know what's interesting when you say that um it was when you started to your body started to heal it's like these Fighters like there'll be a great fight we'll have on Saturday night right and I'll go back to the press conference and the media will start asking me when's um you know when's this guy going to fight again it's like he just [ __ ] we just finished the show what are you talking about we don't even call these guys for weeks till after you got to let once they start to go home you know they've been away from their families they've been cutting weight they've been stressed out about the fight the fight's over now they're all banged up you let them get past all that when you're when you're that type of an athlete like you just said you start to get antsy once you start to feel good you know then you start to think about what's next and all this other stuff but when you're beat up and they don't even want to [ __ ] talk about to think about no that's why you know when the season would end every year bellich would always say don't be calling me you know right after the season saying you're going to retire like take a [ __ ] second you know I mean because you right after a battle right after a [ __ ] 18 20 week season you're beat up mentally it's been a [ __ ] Grind All Year you just want you know so true you know you let it make a decision a couple you know just like what you guys do um let's get back to the fight Jack round three Connor comes out and gets it bounces back got I thought khabib was kind of like getting his wind in the third round it was you would hear in the commentary a little bit the muscles were full of blood all that ground impound all that domination those first two rounds he was a little slower not like didn't look like off but it was a a little slower I would think right how it looked khabib or Conor khabib in round three I don't know man I don't know you know you know I I can't remember what the stat is and if he ever did lose one but Habib hadn't lost a round right that was the first one in like his whole fraking career right and uh he uh he was one of those guys that seemed to get more dominant as the fight went on because he was actually wearing you out and grinding you and um but I don't I don't remember how he he was conserving energy a little bit that's same same and I don't think it was bring him to the ground he yeah it wasn't like he was wi kind of toying with him he was toying with Conor the only other round he ever lost was uh Justin gy so that was on the judge of score card he lost yeah um but then round four comes out nck crank ends it takes t to the ground wanted to change his face wanted to change his face that was the quote from the from the uh all of 229 honestly gez I can't even imagine because I know like what you're thinking cuz I've been arrested [ __ ] had to deal with the the commiss and stuff I couldn't even imag imagine what was going through your mind when you see the melees going at after the [ __ ] fight I mean just a liability especially when we were expecting it we were expecting it and we were ready for it and it still happened it's just it's yeah it's it's a [ __ ] two testosterone up [ __ ] just disappointing one of those like the leadup was so crazy that like there had to be that exhale of like when it actually started like ah all right we got to this point and then it ends and afterwards like that's insane yeah it's yeah people think that because I'm a promoter that that that stuff's good for us it's not good for us because right the commission you know and we're the biggest and baddest in all of Combat Sports so we're the ones to make the uh example out of when it does happen I mean you gota you got to lay down the law did would you did you f uh find them or something or they did what did they find them two million bucks2 million find khabib NOAB got find $2 million yeah he got find $2 million that's no [ __ ] joke so that's how how much they frown on this [ __ ] happening yeah $2 million fine I mean you got you got to do that and I'm a I'm a player guy Joe Rogan incredible unbelievable yep when you you hired him MH yeah what year [ __ ] I mean he was he literally was doing Fear Factor when I hired him um so when we bought the UFC the company was based in New York so I jumped on a plane flew to New York and started cleaning out the old offices I was emptying all these boxes and and and sending [ __ ] to Vegas that I I thought I needed to keep from from the office and I I had a VCR because they had [ __ ] tapes for days I mean I must have watched 250 300 tapes to make sure that it wasn't anything whatever so I popped in this tape and and there was this talk show the Keenan Ivory Wayan show the oldest way brother had his own talk show yeah yeah and they had Joe Rogan on there and Joe Rogan was talking about and I knew Joe Rogan from Fear Factor you know that I would watch on TV and Joe Rogan was talking about how badass UFC fighters were and what they would really do to some of these karate guys that were in movies and [ __ ] like that and I was like man this guy knows what he's talking about he's smart he's funny he's articulate so I reached out to Rogan at that time I think it was on the internet you know I reached out to him we started talking and I asked him if he would like to work for us and be a commentator so if you look at where the UFC was at that time um you know we were losing money like crazy yeah we bought it for 2 million which sounds like a great story now we ended up being like almost 40 million in the whole before we turned it around but Joe Rogan did like the first 12 or 13 shows for free he said [ __ ] yeah I'll come there and do it and sit in the best seats in the house and everything else so Joe and I have been super close friends for a very long time I would do anything for Joe Roger he's killed it came in UFC 11 doing the backstage interviews yeah so before we bought the company he worked for a little little while for the UFC he was a backstage interviewer yeah and then um but I didn't even know that when I saw the videotape of him did you have anyone else in in mind for that role or was it just Joe Rogan was so when I came in I sort of took over all the production and revamped all the you know the um the commentators and who was going to interview so the you know if you look at our production now it's [ __ ] flaw our production is so on point but it took 20 three years to get there got I mean it takes a lot of time to refine routines and you're constantly still doing it I bet 100% yes we're we're still uh evolving when you when you green you grow when you ripe you're rot that's what my dad used to tell me is your dad a football coach yeah he was yeah it sounds like it yeah he was a [ __ ] he was a shout out Frank shout out Frank uh khabib's Legacy in UFC one of the greatest of all time one of the greatest Connor yep greatest showman one of the one of the one of the biggest Superstars ever one of I think he was the first guy to win two titles in two different weight classes um and and the guy who really took the company to another level all throughout Europe yeah and more importantly who's your favorite fighter of all time um it's it's hard to say that I have a favorite fighter Connor Connor has been an incredible partner you know what I mean usually when you get guys that are that big of superstars they go they they become total egomaniacs and they go against the [ __ ] and do whatever Conor McGregor is for a kid that you know when when you think about it he was he was on What's called the Dole when we signed him which is basically he was on um welfare think about where he came from the the business sense that this kid had is is fascinating and Conor McGregor everybody always ask me is he a nightmare to D no he's actually not he's actually a really good partner and and he he understands the business and you know he's actually been great to work with so Connor is one of my all-time favorite Ronda Rousey probably the greatest that I've ever worked with anything you needed whatever it was Ronda was willing to do it um and you know I have a really really incredible relationship with Chuck Liddell Chuck Liddell one of my first big Superstars and you know helped helped build they all have their own spot there's there's so many different people along the way and and I feel bad not saying every but I've worked with lots of incredible people in my career I mean and then that doesn't include my staff the woman sitting behind me Superstar the only person in the world that I actually listen to and uh respect opinions from and and and many other people in in our organization top three fights of all time Jones Gustafson McGregor khabib um and I have to pick this one because you know going into when we first started bringing women into the UFC the backlash we got how I said women would never fight in the UFC the list goes on and on the night that Ronda Rousey fought Carmo uh down in Southern California place was sold out when Ronda walked out of the tunnel the place [ __ ] erupted and went crazy and I stood around I looked around I said I made the right decision and now look at where Women's fighting is now yeah so me personally my top three wow she was she was an absolute rock star it was almost like when she when she lost she finally lost it was like it was a big deal it was huge you never thought she could lose we were in Australia in a soccer right no Holly H Home Holly home in a soccer stadium soccer that's how big she was 47,000 people for a woman's fight you two women fighting 47,000 people in another country and the and the two women involved in the main event weren't Australian it's [ __ ] crazy that's a testament to you taking that making that it's crazy that's unbelievable Jack do we do we miss anything we got a couple uh we were we got to give a shout out to the little Cowboys Caillou Kelly on the Seahawks do Kade puka little Cowboys shout out to the little cowboy I want to take them all I want I want to get a time machine and get the little Cowboys I played on the little Rood City 49ers did you really in the Bay Area we won Super Bowls we won Super little Cowboys versus the little 49ers I mean that be we movie should we make a movie and before we leave I mean you couldn't walk the week of the Seattle game you go out and have your career high 179 yards I know in Seattle cam throwing you the ball cam gotta shine gotta give you some Shine for that brother I I remember that I I that was after after that that was like one of my most proud moments was because I I remember we I had to walk with the trainer we were walking just to get the fluid out of my knee I was hitting the bike on Saturday you fly out two days before going on West Coast trips and I'm sitting there I'm walking we're walking up these Hills in Seattle I'm like I don't know this is I'm talking to my guy mids I'm like dude I don't know if we can I can go you're GNA be fine he's from Australia you're gonna be fine mate you're gonna be fine and I'm like ah [ __ ] and then we went out and did that after that game I was like mine is a crazy thing mind over matter so true mind so true but I mean that's when you play in the NFL the level that you guys play at and again I know you hear this your whole life but at your size to be able to do what you did in the NFL and to be able to do what you did on the Patriots and like I said when we started this interview the the the enjoyment that you guys gave my family over the last 20 I you know every Sunday a family member either had a Brady Edelman amandola or grank Jersey on we literally everybody in my family either had one of those jerseys on my God and it's not an interview this is a conversation well whatever this is this conversation hang out whatever's going on when we started whatever's going on here what does this does this fight have a name because this we we call games with names what what is is does this fight have a name this fight this conversation what no
