Israel Adesanya on Jon Jones Vs Tyson Fury, Partying with Drake, and Doing Mushrooms

what's up everybody Welcome to flagrant and you know who we got in the [ __ ] building it's the champ The champ is here [Applause] um okay listen I've been waiting months to ask you this months to ask you this let's go you said in the ring when you got the mic from Rogan which is rare I don't know how you got that microphone shot to Joe but shout out to Joe for giving it to you I think he understood what that moment was for you well also it could have gone silent imagine if I was one of these dudes and I grabbed the mic and I was just like I don't know bleep this light in the truck like get him off get him off so many new fans you know it could have gone either way so for him to give me the mic and the thing is so when how how it happens is like when I'm in the shower this is our voice say the the most honest place in the world I was visualizing I visualized so I'll be visualizing in the shower too yeah I mean so do I but you know for fighting when I do it's like I feel everything and I remember being so happy while I was visualizing I was just like feeling so happy after the fight like when I visualize the wind I've been designed as a knockout visualize the press conference post fight pre-fight fight week it just goes it's like Tourette's I can't help it I'm just I'm using that that's not manifest I use my imagination so when I was visualizing I just remember being so happy about to be in those rooms in that shower but as I was visual I was so happy I was like man I just want everyone to feel how happy I am right now just once you said that that's all I wanted to say and everything else just came from player one and I just like a vessel and I just I like I feel like a rapper I was literally just flowing and when I'm in that flow States it just happens so you describe the feeling because you said it yeah and it it felt like you meant it it didn't feel like it was prepared it felt like in that moment yeah I wish you could feel what I'm feeling have you ever felt that happy in your entire life childhood included yeah I have what moments good question it's a good one okay I want to see if I can say let me see um okay one recent one recent one let me think if I'm getting um when I got cinderoo my cat rest in peace when I the day I got her I was so happy so happy I used to have this little like a front pack I'll put her in it would go for work walks and things like that I feel happy like that many times in my life but for that moment that's top five top ten one of the greatest moments under my career in my life because I know you did not just compare knocking out to buying a new [ __ ] cars [Laughter] I'm not gonna ask him online I need to know in person it's relative it's relative so for me that moment was awesome and I just want everyone to feel I feel like those who don't so why they're trained for decades or buy a cat yeah either one either one it's all perspective it's relative yeah pussy's [ __ ] bro but yeah for me it was like I just so when um uh two seconds when I when I was in that moment I just those who don't like me they'd be watching that fight and be like yes I've seen so many reactions I watched so many reaction videos and I'm like yes finally again it's gonna happen again and then oh [ __ ] example oh so it was oh oh people who loved me they're like oh no it's against the fans again oh no yes yeah the contrast those two feelings and I feel like those who really love me felt the happiness in that moment bro let me tell you yeah let me tell you the whole building woke up yeah I mean it was just insane yeah it was just in [ __ ] I don't know why I went to the TV yeah on us to survive you yes but yeah I don't know why like it's a weird reaction like you go closer to the same thing why yeah yeah his passion I was in someone else's house and I just started jumping up and down like crazy and we got neighbors here you can't just jump up and down bro it was just so unbelievable and it was exactly what you described I was scared yeah and then when you when you flipped it all that went to sheer Joy I legit was scream in my office like dude people neighbors are gonna think you're like beating me yeah my dog was shaking it was like [ __ ] crazy bro and the arrows perfect oh my God just from an improv perspective I mean you pulled out the whole the whole what was planned and then you've been waiting to shoot arrows as a dancer as a dancer like even with chrome you have characters sometimes we were just like we bring on the Dance Floor you try and like emulate so that helps me be able to create moments like that and I remember telling the referee shot to um what's his name Dan mergliata because when you come give you the rules I just remember bro if and when I sleep this dude I just need you to let me have my mom I won't touch him you've said that to him before the fight yeah yeah I told Dad I was like I was like let me have my moment it gives me chills dude yeah I think he would have filmed it yeah if I want to sleep and just let me have my mom because I've been waiting how many years I said the last time in New York as well but it wasn't my moment then that was his moment great story for him but I was like let me have my moment just because I won't touch him I won't hurt him he'll be dead but just let me have my moment because I've been waiting so long to soak this up and Jeff's got a cool photo of me like yeah yeah just like in my head rehearsing it how long how long has Jeff been filming you for life no he's buried 20 2016. so what is that now it's like a year in his anime eight years something like that yeah yeah Jane Goodall [Laughter] hey bring that camera back up what the [ __ ] are you doing back this [ __ ] 120 50 000 off a 25 bet what wow what yesterday yeah or not on YouTube [Music] I'm gonna get knocked out of New York [Laughter] oh yeah well he's been following me around for a long time and think even with the film and stuff he got a lot of the raw footage and I can be myself around him and I say Jane Goodall like he studies me because he's seen me with so many different situations so many different fans and he knows he knows my go-to line sometimes you know when I have to you know like NPC these people because they give me the same energy back but um yeah I can be myself around him he knows when to film me he knows when not to film me he knows what to like be a flower on the wall the big ass fly on the wall he knows how to catch certain moments and that's why that's when the documentary is far yeah I saw the documentary last night it was incredible and I wanted to talk about it later but there's still this moment in your life there is obviously pivotal to you but there's times where I don't know how big a deal it is for you right like when you came here after the loss you really taught me how to lose and deal with loss you know what I mean that sincere I'm very grateful for that so when you got the victory I saw the joy but there was also part of me that was like well he was fine after the loss is he fine after the victory is it sweet like tell me I remember texting I remember texting you I remember texting the boys and I almost and I couldn't be there but you know why but I literally was almost like I'm about to fly down to my house that was crazy bro let's try to line that up as a podcast yeah I know we tried it and also even like a lot of people trying but then for me I just wanted to I told the boys I got [ __ ] the podcast I want to go party out of Miami because I'm living in Miami so I finished work around say 1 30 a.m go to the Sunday morning 1 30 a.m got to the club around two I left him yeah Club 11. [ __ ] was crazy it was packed even obj pulled up said what's up everyone else um you know the milk boys Mike all these other different people as well Chuck Liddell and Tito on [ __ ] stage adekunle gold uh Michael Venom page kamaru Usman we're just hanging out it was a Vibe and then I didn't sleep till about maybe 4 P.M because I was just up and I studied the fight a little bit with my coaches and then Sunday night tootsies upstairs shoulder rubs I had to and it was even a point [Laughter] [Laughter] it's because I was just so excited I actually I told um a dancer that was like I'm just so excited with my life like right now you're adorable yeah I was like this is not even exciting to me right now it's like my life is so exciting that's why I'm just this it's not you it's me I'm just like so you weren't bricky for her and she got upset [Music] is the wildest human being on the planet and he just went like this but I think he's going tell the story about when they post something else like my life is so exciting right now that this is not you think this is what you want to do what you're supposed to do but I was like yeah it's cool to be at Tootsie's it's an iconic sport but yeah yeah this ain't even that right now like my life is so exciting that this is not doing it for me yeah so that night after Sunday night Monday Tuesday Wednesday I stayed in my room I just chilled in my room yeah it's on my phone a lot I was I was farming because again if you don't understand the numbers game you got you got to run the numbers up you do something crazy like that I know what it's like my my Instagram socials all that kind of stuff is going up so when these new companies want to see the insights oh you're calculating the reaction yeah so I'm also my phone farming and I had so many memes I had so many Clips I had so many things I wanted to say I got receipts so you know I'm Farming and then when they are posting a lot more can we see the insights um for the last two months Boom the numbers is up the money's up so people think oh you're posting too much oh get over it it's only I'm like [ __ ] it was only like two days ago I'm gonna post as much there's no roots to this internet [ __ ] yeah so I was posting I was farming tell Eugene that [ __ ] yeah yeah he understands it but he doesn't like it you know but it's a great moment in the in the documentary about that civil touchdown later but um so for me I'm farming I'm making money and Wednesday get back home get home first thing I do go see my teammates say thank you because they put so much work into me even leaving the gym to go to that fight whenever I leave the gym the last like day when I turn around and I bow and I leave the gym I just like there's a it's a thing of like [Music] so I go back to say thank you to my my teammates and I go grab my dog Toothless and I take my shoes off go to the park with her because she don't give a [ __ ] style Bender is yeah she's like that's my boy what's up and anyone that try to say what's up I said what's up any photos I'm just chilling man thank you I'm just hanging out with my dog yep hang out with her for two days and then that's my way of trying to like come back down to my reality just base balance myself you know ground myself before you get there I need to know what's happening when you're alone in the hotel room reflecting two nights before that you improv this oh that yeah at what point do you look at pereira's son you're like [Music] that was payback this is this that's just iconic I didn't even hesitate Elyria is just like visualization man yeah I've been here in my brain and it just happened I was like Wyatt was it three for a reason was it three for the three times he got you or this is not now it is but when it happened I was like it is but I when you get to the cage right you can see everything so hyper aware I can see literally the nosebleeds I can see where Trump was Mike Tyson Kid Rock and Dana White and I knew where his family was and then straight away I was like where's that little and then I remember his sister was trying to because they were crying and sister was trying to Shield them and I was like and he looked at me I just went and he got it straight away yeah I mean that's fire I mean if my son did that to someone I got I knocked out I just like what do you what are you doing come on man like I make him apologize and I'll make him he did it in the ring too yeah yeah so I was like what the [ __ ] so for me I'm Petty I am Petty I took that personally yeah very personally so I'd let him know I don't react I responding I take my time when I respond the world knows that was a wild situation how old is he now 15 years old enough that's what I'm saying that's the fight everyone wants to see we need to make that happen first forever just for the anime just for the anime bro you gotta let it happen uh maybe I'll see uh I can still fight maybe I have 40. we'll see we'll see play Call of Duty or something 100 no I think it's cool I haven't seen Alex at the airport people think like it's gonna be like I actually love your videos relationship man it's like it there's this weird thing that happened yeah there's a fascinating thing that only you guys understand because you've only been in the ring with each other but a real cool thing happened afterwards he didn't seem to hold much of a grudge against you I also feel like he probably feels full because he knows he's gotten you before you get your revenge you have this respect for one another and then you did this interesting thing backstage you started asking him about that leg kick that he throws that's a tricky [ __ ] leg kick because he doesn't turn his hip at all I don't say so just a massive human being yeah his like we're both six four I believe boys he's a big six four yeah he's a big like he's not a big head I've got big hands yeah well all right bro come on outside you know what time it is all right that makes your dick look smaller you know your dick looks smaller [Music] I'm just trying to Wrangle my [ __ ] but um he's just a massive human being but the way he throws that leg he doesn't turn his hip over and when it hits it hits like the first strike that landed in that fight was the lead kick and I was like in my history it was like again yep again and now we were ready for it me and twist we knew the counter to it but which is the words but um afterwards when I watched the fight I was like every time I threw a body jab that was a setup because a body jack would be low and then just wait yeah I was like [ __ ] but when he hurt my leg and it did hurt my leg but I used it I was like [ __ ] well that's blood in the water now so when he when I saw his confidence it's time to grow that's all right I'm just gonna just move back a little bit and just show I use that Pro twice you did something early in the fight it had me [ __ ] terrified when I tried to brawl with him son yeah the first time he steps in one of that but I knew you wanted it and that's how I knew it was kind of different but and I was actually afterwards I got excited but the first time he steps in he threw something you put your hands up and then you swung it was maybe two or three shots boom I don't know if either one of you guys actually landed but I remember going what the [ __ ] is going on here after that the next combo he landed a hook but it didn't like affect me or anything like that but at that moment using this Camp he was like I like that you guys didn't run yeah oh no he said offensive minded he said I want to be and I was like thank you finally and I haven't something like you're gonna be stressed out that's fine good I don't know I told him about myself you're gonna be stressed out cause I'm gonna be in the fire son I was so impressed you watched the sparta the last part and I remember like my leg was hurt because injury in the camp two weeks off from the fight [ __ ] bad meniscus oh that was a MCL yeah yeah English but like for me when I was sparring I was with my Sparkles I was just like they were trying to take it easy on me and I was like nah give me the [ __ ] like they hit me to work I want to feel the fire so when we're in there I was like finally I just wanted to feel like I was in a fight it's been a while because everyone else is too scared they're all trying to pretend they want to fight but they want to survive so I was like someone he beat me on the front he's not gonna run let's go I want to be in the fire and then I was in the fire and I was thriving so when it happened that whole sequence at the end I blocked all the shots apart from from the body shot the knee even missed I blocked it it was I got that I was like now when you're in that corner are you thinking I'm gonna get an opening did you have any of that planned are you just like keep your head up keep okay I remember just like being there like we're cool we're cool because I gave it to him I was like right so you're thinking we're cool you're not panicking this as well it's not it's more like just muscle memory because you train so much it's just it's react it's Buddy your body responds all your what do you say muscle memory memory that says it can retain information so my body could retain information from the work that we've done all the in terms of action you're not even thinking about it we're just going so when he I like I was like my legs hurt and I know he's hungry for it right now so I was like right I'm just gonna give him give him the look a backup against the cage and I made sure I took care of everything you see my eyes were on him the whole time locked on I was on the whole time and when I hit him boom that didn't even feel like nothing but what the second one was crazy no what's cool was when I spring off the fence I I literally felt like I like I like a Vortex I was the speed I was surprised I was like damn that's crazy boom and I killed him no it was an overhand right what made you go on a defense because my leg was hurt so it wasn't like yeah because immediately after the fight you're like nah I was playing possible no I was playing possum so what I used it as bait he knows I'm hurt I know I'm hurt so I know he thinks like oh it's gonna be over soon I'm about to knock him out so he got he got killed he starts to throw with no no defense he wasn't even like he didn't knock on the door you got to knock on the door like you know yeah Ian Gary shout out to him he's fighting in Vegas as well I think yeah he just fought recently yeah but you look at his last fight he just he beautiful finishing sequence but he knocked on the door you got to see someone's home see what the reaction is coming back yeah so he didn't knock another he just got confident I thought I'm just gonna barge in but you gotta [ __ ] wipe your feet before you come to my house but you it's interesting because it looked like you were looking for that right hand because I was there's this beautiful yeah during the fight I was but the thing is when you almost caught him earlier I kept on catching them but I wasn't catching them at some points because he was just leaning yeah he'd leaned back a little bit yeah that's why I was all right if if Moses can't go to a mountain the mountain is going to come to Moses so is that right I'm just going to give it to him so I gave it to him and then I gave it to him the last time when you almost dropped him yeah in the first round same sequence this time you made it a point to adjust it exactly this time when I did as well I fired back so I said I came off the fans boom and then this the hammer fist was awesome it was just something that like I that was I remember when it was happening as well I had it's crazy how much thought like the brain just has all these like flashes or things in Split seconds yeah remember just like this is for everything boom bro it's just happening yeah yeah it was one of those moments like I said greatest uh six sixes before the fight I was doing a Simon trip because I wanted to like get in touch with my Primal self so I had a trip some mushroom chocolates and then I had the shower and after the shower I wrote my mirror April 8th Miami 2023 the greatest comeback in sporting history it was written by me so every time I looked in the mirror I'd see it and it would just affirm it to myself and then in the car I'll just recite it randomly it was like Tourette's so when it came down to it Grace come back in sporting history written by me wow unreal I'm curious about the mushrooms how does that help you access that like what was that experience like so you can do micro Doses and it just helps you I feel like tap into yourself so I started to like grunt I remember just like I'll I'll just sit there and just like listen to Lo-Fi music and I might yeah really yeah and it's just like I'm breathing I just lie down you feel your breath and you just like it's a personal experience but for me I just I wanted to tap into my like Primal self like that the dog in me with that dog in him I know I do and I know I can beat this guy look they didn't fight me 10 more times and beat me all 10 more times I don't give a [ __ ] I just wanted to prove to myself I go [ __ ] this dude up because I know I can't first time I [ __ ] him up just gave it to him second time I was beating him [ __ ] them up and he got me third time same thing out here at MSG I was [ __ ] him up Danny got me and I'm just like [ __ ] I can beat this guy I know I can so that's what I just I was like it's my eight mile moment yeah have to do it these stories right we love the underdog stories and because so often we feel like underdogs in life and the story doesn't go that way for us yeah so when it does go that way for someone we exalt them right we like gravitate towards them I'm sure everybody in the world in that moment was in your DMs and texting and FaceTiming you I know that and obviously from Washington documentary but also just from knowing you for years that like how do you start to like create a little bit of barrier a little bit of separation for the for the adulation like do you take it all in and you go okay they really love this achievement do you do you go oh I'm that great and they should appreciate me like this boy said you're Never As Good As to say you are yeah all that matters is how you see yourself so I take it all in I appreciate the love even the hate it's the fuel it helps me but I don't hold on to it even the love I never hold on to it I used to back in the day when I was younger because I didn't understand same with the hate I used to because I didn't understand that that sits with you so I appreciate it I take it but I let it go I let it pass through it but I appreciate it and yeah you just have to it's about how you see yourself [ __ ] with anyone else who's your flatmate up here yeah what's he saying to you you know that voice in your head so that's that's uh that's that's what I worked on this Camp I was isolated a lot um I literally just like anything that wasn't in line with this fight cut it out of my life anyone cut them out of my life that was it yeah did people understand they got it like my family already knows but people I mean if if yeah if you know on that level with me and on that level with me yeah you had an interesting uh line in the documentary that spoke to me where you talked about being a people pleaser Ah that's from that's the rest it's ugly head once in a blue moon and I I understand it now so I'm able to like recognize her like ah I'm doing that [ __ ] again then I pull it back and that's why I have like my big brother Paulie or Ike they Shadow me because when I get drunk I'm like a Labrador or golden retriever I'm just like everyone's my friend buying shots but then I'm not I think came from when I moved to New Zealand it was it was a coping mechanism for people to like want to be accepted yeah for sure are we twins yeah no but like it was something you know so it just and even if people didn't like me I'd still try to fit in try and please and then eventually I had to realize that nah I wasn't meant to put that fit in I have to stand out yeah but the tricky thing about being a people pleaser the great thing about the documentary and we just watched those in the Tribeca film festival and I don't know where people can see it not yet I think is there's still like few screenings left I think okay so go check it out style Bender it's called if you can get tickets but um it was this great observation of dealing with Fame yeah and that line was so interesting because being a people pleaser when not that many people want you to please them is easy yeah being a people pleaser when the world is asking for you to please them becomes anxiety and stress and you can get resentment for all these people that are trying to take your attention from you you know and like there's this moment in the [ __ ] dock where like you're walking that maybe you should describe it but like you're welcome isn't it crazy how on that day they decide to come film what I was describing it's a few minutes beforehand actually happening that's why it's a move from the house I wasn't living there at the time when I was filming but my dogs were there but then people like people would just come knock on my door he was living in like a neighborhood neighborhood yeah everybody knew that was my first house yeah that was my first last time I'm like Chinese in New Zealand now I'm buying everything [Applause] yeah so I I just needed privacy I didn't and I tell people like what are you doing they're like oh but can I get I'm such a big I'm like bro people would knock on the door and just be like hey can I get a picture and he's complaining about about going through this and it is like a little bit of an invasion of your privacy but at the same time you have this people please or part of you right so we're not doing the documentary when he knocked bro it immediately goes out takes a picture with the whole family Etc right but it happened right after saying that this is why I had to move out of the area right there but here's the thing if if you if you're not a people pleaser you just go I'm just at home right now I feel good when you are it actually creates a greater anxiety because you feel like you've let those people down now you have this guilt you're carrying around so now you resent the people for giving you the guilt that you're carrying around what I've done now is protect my energy so even now I'm okay with saying no and I don't have to explain myself so when I tell people no I'm fine with it and I don't care what they think or because you know when at the beach you feed one seagull and then my my my my mind it's like that and they think oh at the airport just one bro I'm like bro you're not the only one like this I can taste five people I know what it's like to be a whole chick bro I walk in the bar and I know okay this guy's looking at me that table's looking at me that guy's approaching me they come oh bro I gotta buy you a show I gotta buy the championship I'm good bro but imagine if I was a hard chick and it's like I gotta buy you a shot no I'm good they still push but when I'm like yo I'm good I'm okay with it because at this many times I'll say yes and it'll sit with me I'm like why did I give that person my attention it'll sit with me like literally eat at me for about three days maybe a week and then I'm just like and it might be something so minuscule well I just like [ __ ] I should have said no is there a specific moment when that switch happened can I advertise can I guess can I guess this is this is a documentary stuff I don't know I'm like looking at these things and I'm like these are formative you know moments of your life there's the footage of you you're like an outcast you're kind of bullied you're New Zealand uh maybe a few friends or no friends you do a talent show at High School in high school yeah and like really kill it and just by himself does like the break dancing right and then you said afterwards immediately after that I had some street cred I had some Cloud people want to be friends so now you know friendship and love is transactional you can resent people for that oh you like me because I'm nice to dance and when I was nice to you before and just wanted to eat around people you didn't want to [ __ ] with me at all but now that I could break dance now whatever and I wonder if that if you can like extrapolate that to also winning oh when I win everybody wants to hang out but when I'm when I lose now the DMS aren't flooded yeah or maybe you don't even realize it in high school but when it happens as a pro that's still there and then it's true yeah yeah yeah yeah um I think it's over time we're like Oprah bro yeah oh bro like therapy how much you're paying for the session yeah how much you pay that Winnebago girl and that's the thing I like about the the film as well I like the it's all just sitting down with a camera and doing like a one-on-one interview it was I was able to practice what I preached you know what I mean but um the moment I feel like it's over time in this experience like trial and error dealing with it learning how to deal with um like those because even though I still got chips with my shoulder man like I I know me I'm like even after a loss I was fine I was able to live my life people still love me they still call me champ in the streets so I was like you know how they said like oh when you lose the bill it's like a pressure off your shoulders I was like I'm still Israel like this one like it was still you know people want to take that name so they still they were still coming after me but um for me like like I said it's about protecting my energy looking after myself but I that people pleaser that's where it reads this ugly head and that chip in my shoulder it's like oh like Mike Jones you know back then they didn't want me and I'm hot who was all on me that kind of vibe so I was just like oh it's like that now but I'm aware of it I'm aware of it so when you're aware of the months that you're able to nullify it yeah it's interesting self-awareness yeah I would almost like recommend people watch the documentary if they don't know who you are yeah I agree like it's I feel like it's even more interesting because you have no preconceived notion of who you think I am yeah you know I like even people sometimes like say we're a group of friends right and sometimes I'll go to a bar or something and then like a group of people know me and oh my God and then there'll be one person like I'm sorry I just I don't know who you are so it's okay I don't know who you are I'm just wrong what's your name and I prefer that I actually prefer that because it's like I get to meet someone who has no the preconceived notions of you they have no expectations no so I'm like this is rare for me these days so nice to meet you and I can actually have a real conversation and like get to know someone for me rather like oh they think they know me or what they've seen on YouTube or on TV or my fighting you know what I mean yeah for the people who have seen you I'm curious because we as entertainers very different feel but if you only see a slice of our Personality yeah you see a slice of him who he is on stage you you see the promo Izzy the fighter is he you don't necessarily see being a nice guy is he who wants to get to know everybody's not going to sell pay-per-views necessarily so are you relieved that even the people who might have preconceived notions of you are like oh that's who he really is this is a 360 degree view of who he is yes I feel like people get to see a little bit more of mine yeah yeah you know yeah my um but bro that's it's really it's like you know it's fire seeing the [ __ ] about you that's not cool what like like in it like he's just there's vulnerable [ __ ] like things that you say and you know Eugene yeah with the Eugene [ __ ] and like you even catch yourself in the Moment Like Eugene is the coach and like there's a line where he's like I'll do this know a little bit Yeah okay just a little bit yeah just a little bit worse yeah and then you catch yourself and you adjust but like if it's a it's a rare thing when you're being videotaped that you will be emotionally reactive knowing that someone's videotaping the reason prank videos oh that's why yeah that's why that's why no I was just you know that's why you know it's funny thing uh in the end of it I was just like I need to go home and calm down because I recognize like I'm up I'm in this this um parasympathetic nervous system or whatever so I was like okay I can recognize it again self-awareness I understand like okay I'm not myself right now I need to go home and calm down but I was really angry because of the thing that was happening and I just just that was just me doing this but that that's that's what you're not going to see in a documentary we all do that you're also not going to see in a documentary about yourself everybody's gonna put the best version of themselves out there yeah yeah was it difficult to keep the vulnerable Parts in the edit nope because I am a vulnerable person but there's the bits that he's talking about when you guys see it it's like uh I got like I cringe because I'm like good that's real that's real the World's Gonna See this even the dancing bits because like I said for me dancing so like the artistic bits in between where it's like when they talked about the urinal and high score and then I'm dancing like in the bathroom and it's just like this artist like it was like rise you know David Chappelle like a little bit those little bits and pieces and it was just like for me some people might get it some might not get it but for me when I watch it it's literally I'm just like the world's like seeing how I'm expressing myself in those moments and I'm just like I don't mind because [ __ ] them but at the same time this is me just being me and I've always kept the same energy so why would I have to stop now so on the big screen my documentary debut stay true to who I am huge announcement for me I'm so [ __ ] excited about this I'm filming my first full-length stand-up comedy special in Houston on September 2nd I had to do it in Texas we found a beautiful space at White Oak Music Hall September 2nd hurry up and buy tickets at akashing.com again everything that I have accomplished thus far whatever growth I made is because of you guys because of this podcast I'm so grateful for all of it and I cannot wait to take it to the next level so go do Akash singh.com buy your tickets September 2nd let's blow this [ __ ] out let's make it the greatest comedy special that has ever happened I love y'all thank you so much now let's get back to the show yeah no we got some uh Jack too thank you thank you give me the real [ __ ] give me the real [ __ ] bro it was great it was it was good it was dope I mean you're so good at putting out your authentic self but I don't know if that was always the case yeah what's your advice to people that maybe just have like regular jobs or that want to be creatives that have difficulty putting out their authentic selves do it that's my advice do it it's it's nerve-wracking and it's uh annoying but I still do it because those who [ __ ] with you will [ __ ] with you that's how I get that's how I feel like and you weed out the people who won't really [ __ ] with them sometimes I'll just put some random [ __ ] on my on my Instagram just to weed out the [ __ ] thank you um because I feel like those who understand me will know like oh that's Israel we've been here since 2013. we know he's that like Valentine's Day I used to one time the first time I did it I fought on Valentine's Day in Adelaide Visa Fury and I think I was heartbroken at the time and I was fighting on Valentine's Day I haven't came out to Luther Vandross never too much it's on YouTube it was smoking it was a cool entrance but that day when I was waiting for the fight at the hotel thank you brother I just I went on the ground and I posted probably like 85 memes the captions were the ones thank you the captions were funny well I literally just posted just memes just roasting just love but it was just me [ __ ] around and I was just having fun with it killing time while I was waiting for my fight because I'm just lying in bed and you know people are no more following this is too much because you know you're only a lot of person or something weird Unwritten room like once a day or whatever I'm like what the [ __ ] the internet there ain't no roots to this [ __ ] so this is me trying to weed out like the [ __ ] so sometimes you'll see me post some weird [ __ ] and then it's just like the [ __ ] like then those who don't [ __ ] with me they can just yeah yeah I have to and even if you're still uncomfortable about whatever moments in the documentary I would say I'm trying to form the sentence as I think of it but like that's very it's a very [ __ ] cool thing you do that you you are open with your losses you came on here the day after you got knocked out and then the day after you knocked him back out you were like no I need to be by myself yeah and it's really I think cool for people to see a champion still be open and vulnerable and talk about the losses and the bad moments I think we all are like yo [ __ ] if this guy who I see is a superhuman who literally knocks human beings out for a living if he can be human I can be human the [ __ ] up you have a bad show you have a bad date you talk to a girl and [ __ ] it up it's like bro that's whatever it's a numbers game man just run it up shooting yeah that's what it is but like I mean no matter what no matter what I feel like you just have to stand up with your head tall no matter what everyone think you said I think you said it the best was you seeing you okay you said Duvall was like man I feel bad but then you said you see me okay made you feel okay oh yeah yeah yeah I felt the same way recently with Kai he fought got robbed badly yeah badly like horrible yeah but then I was [ __ ] angry but then I sent him a message I think a video while he was in the back um he sent me one back afterwards when he was um going to the win or whatever and seeing him chill made you see wow exactly so he did that for me as well so I was like okay he's fine I can be fine but I'm still angry and [ __ ] bro [ __ ] these guys man I feel like even in boxing if a judge if a judge or judges [ __ ] up and it's a controversial scorecard they need to be on the plus five press conference Podium oh that's a good one no have him do a post fight no like we know the fighters then the judges go okay so sir why did you give him money thank you the fourth round Wick I won the [ __ ] round yeah how did you decide you know what [ __ ] this guy that's actually a great idea no but they're never gonna do it because like but if you do it it'll change the system and don't have to be held accountable and actually judge bro you know what I mean you know what the tricky thing about with with that specifically in UFC I understand in boxing when like the different promoters have their Fighters and they want their fighters to win in UFC they represent all the fighters yeah it doesn't benefit them in any way to give a shitty decision there's a conspiracy okay that chance my boy chance um kind of put me on to because Volk I was in Perth I was right there me and Ash when it happened fifth round I lost my [ __ ] Bros he's done it this guy that people were like oh and he's a great fighter you know from that side of pakistanis they're [ __ ] awesome at their wrestling and whatnot but this guy has a myth and Alex [ __ ] them up it's like the scene in 300 when the uh actually you see the first one when Alex told me Alex told me when he was on his back buddy Alex was like I thought you're gonna finish me oh it's great it was great come on come on yeah Alex finishes on top and then me and Ash I see Ash and both cancers cancer Leo and like I'm emotional he's crying I'm crying I'm hugging them and it was like [ __ ] it you did it and then Red Hot Chili Peppers are playing that night in the [ __ ] 60 000 sold out Arena so it would have been Alex double [ __ ] boom Oh goes to Red Hot Chili Peppers that night oh bro and I feel like they stole this moments away but the conspiracy has transport me onto the satellite look at um you know the the movement right now in um Fly Island Abu Dhabi the state they have in the UFC you know it pays them to have a champ that that that's from that side of the world oh oh that's right because Saudi Arabia is going to play Crazy amounts of money for a fight Qatar is going to pay crazy I don't think that you like you said with boxing is different because each promoter has their own fighter that they want to win and it kind of like those closely but the Islam listen the Islam Vogue fight was close at least I think it was four one I think it was four one it was competitive yeah but I wasn't upset with a 3-2 Islam I I was like okay I could see how certain rounds trust me listen of course of course but listen listen we love vulcair but yeah it was one of those things where it's like in the Nate Diaz street fight rules we know who won the fight thank you exactly because one guy could barely stand up at the end yeah and the other one guy was doing just like a Shiner all that kind of stuff so it's like put it this way Islam don't want that fight again uh you're gonna get it again he is glad that bulk is going to fight uh what is it Pantoja or something what's his name oh what's his name Bob yeah what's his name Pantera Pantera what's it what's the guy's name no disrespect know his name oh my God no no already Yes Rodriguez Rodriguez yeah yeah [Laughter] okay anyway yeah that was close yeah why did they just run it back with this one man did you actually go to UFC bro oh really yeah I mean hey I am I'm about to Brass they had their own plans but um like you said that belt that's what he has to go back yeah he has to go back down to featherweight defend the belt I'll be bro like you can't hold up the division if we look at Volk in rematches yeah and keep in mind Max coming through tomorrow that's my [ __ ] guy I love him I met him I've met him before he was there last night bro I love that dude real talk it is but I think Max will even say wow this guy improved from each fight yeah right good so I can't see that not happening yeah Islam yeah oh yeah well definitely oh trust me no we evolved that's it easy we evolved I think that's it it's like the four minute mile what's it got broken once one person breaks it it's over so once Volk did what he did in real life now people are not afraid of this one it's like me I knocked this guy out now I'm like bruh if we fought 10 times again I'm not gonna buy 10 times every single time yeah but like once I've done it now it's I've actualized this like oh I can do it now well you said you asked him something about the leg kick yeah what did he tell you um I just asked him like I don't know how he did that but I just I think it's just limited English but pretty much I just gave him props I was like you with that leg kick is [ __ ] dangerous because it's a hard leg quick kick without turning over the hip at all and it just there's no tell and even though it doesn't like when you when you legate sometimes you have to step you have to step it's a quick step quicker to step quicker to kick even a head kick quicker step quicker kick that's the that's like the general rule but he doesn't have a step he's just dead just like boom this [ __ ] Stone some soccer [ __ ] bro yeah it looks as if he doesn't come across it looks as if he comes almost up but then his leg still does this and still hits you yeah this is like yeah did y'all like share yeah we did it um at the airport so when we went through the scanner thing put our shoes on the other side I was like ready to fight again ashra was the first one to see him is that I didn't know I was like nah oh [ __ ] it is so we're kind of like we're behind them for about two minutes or so then I was gonna I was gonna be like hoy but then I didn't um and we took that video was cool but then we talked about the yarn fight and then I kind of gave him some some tips if you will we kind of have the same idea because then that's what I was I was saying like the way John fights and he knows yeah so I was like oh you're gonna catch him with this while I was like but be careful because we also thought he's gonna do this but because we're great Strikers because I'm a great striker excuse me he was patient he took his time so I said just he's probably gonna be patient with you and he's not a bad Striker he's underrated this is weird he's not weird striking but he takes his time he takes his time when he does he's good but with other guys who want great Strikers he rushes and he he can get clipped like that if he rushes against Spartan I think but that's the thing with proton like it's he's coming up and wait and Jan has good control on the ground right like he's got Jiu Jitsu battle I think he'll probably just hold him down up there but up top I feel like Alex going to yeah but that does speak to what Andrew was saying earlier with you guys having this beautiful relationship after the fight it's just I wish you mess with him at TSA though I wish you put the brass knuckles payback yeah why is it like do you guys feel this way like when fighters who have had these wars are actually friends it makes me happy friends they were friends right now no they're not friends but like uh yeah I get I get I don't know I get rid of it to a fine belt trust me you'll see him but I can enjoy from it why is that like I wonder as a consumer why I like seeing these guys who put it all out there I think we like happy endings I do yeah but um yeah things we like happy endings you know like uh went through a war we've been through four fights across two different sports and then it's like the mutual respect and adoration for each other's skills you know regardless of everything I'll go to Brazil I'll see him I'll say what's up I'll hang out in his hood you know but um yeah it's uh even he was in my neck of the woods I thought he was going to come to New Zealand he didn't but um he was meant to pull up to this fight where I saw attacks a few three but apparently he didn't pull up because I was there but I'm like I don't care I would have liked to say what's up you're in my neck of the woods you also know something about each other that very few people know yeah we know exactly you know it's like when starting to cut you but like it's like when uh you know past presidents are always friends does that thing yeah like George Bush is coming with Obama like Trump might be the only one but like what they've experienced George Bush and Michelle are like yeah yeah they're like trading candies yeah it's a dorm Americans are like you did about the same while they were in office but it's like but it's just this one thing where it's like it's such a unique experience that they can't really share with anybody else so once you've had that with someone at least I can be honest with you at least I can vent with you about things like you get it yeah I think it's why a lot of times like uh country clubs even exist it's like rich people want to be in a place where they can complain to other rich people where poor people aren't going oh it must be so hard they don't want to know you just slipped in there if he get if Barrera gets uh that's a good catch championship if he gets a belt yeah I can catch the smoke Oh I thought you said it was done it's always done but like there's always that like little yeah right here so like but now I've beat him so yeah and keep that yeah okay what was your thoughts on the whole Tyson Fury Jon Jones thing I mean I saw Tyson and I said look you should I think just learn how to sprawl you'd be right well really yeah you could defend the takedown but again it's it's Jon Jones yeah it's easier said something yeah exactly and also has Tyson Fury he doesn't know how to sprawl and he was like listen man you ain't [ __ ] getting me an occasion or whatever he's you know what he's he had a different energy it's real life it's real life [ __ ] it's like you have to understand the reality of what's what's actually happening this is I love boxing I was at I was watching the two female Lopez and the the Taylor fight it was [ __ ] awesome fight bro t-o-n Super Saiyan he was starting to like yeah literally in the Flow State I like when I see it no just a fighter even a dancer um anyone go in the zone I know when I see them when someone is in a Zone then you're like oh it's like they go in it they come out of it they go back in it because some people stay in it but Teo was just going in the zone he'll pop out for a little bit I think he took around 10 off just to rest but he would be in the zone there's one point there's some [ __ ] touched his foot oh my God that was magic the whole place was going crazy The Scorch people the [ __ ] Mexicans there was nuts bananas and like a little intimate theater but um yeah I like to see I like seeing someone going to his own what are you talking about oh [ __ ] Tyson Fury yeah boxing is different from fighting I mean from like actual fighting yeah I mean I like all the greatest fight in the world you know yeah if you want to be the greatest fighter in the world you have to be able to fight other styles yeah it's not just one style of fighting this is why I'm a kickboxer that's why I started in and I love grappling because it was fun to watch and watching the UFC it was learned like Jordan will be explained what's happening I'm like oh that's cool that's cool but I had to learn I put my ego aside and I was like if I really want to be the best fighter in the world I'm gonna be the best kickboxer in the world and just like done that and made okay money they live really nicely very rich I could just run a boxing because I was boxing for a little bit as well and done the same thing but I was like I really want to be the best also I just I want I never want a man to be able to handle me in any situation I want to be in the back shows though but I just I feel like I'm training for jail just in case yeah but like happy pride month anyway for me I feel like to be the best fighter in the world you have to be able to beat any style you know and that's why I put my ego aside and I was like I'm gonna learn how to Grapple it's like to be a good criminal learn to be a good lawyer you know what I mean the first how many fights in the UFC not only one guy was able to take me down keep me down he's a weight class above me are you excited for uh tapping somebody out I'll tell you something after this okay okay so you got plans of course I do we love Craig we had Craig on here Alex yeah yeah that's my [ __ ] Craig and vote uh trainer who [ __ ] lady boys I love grappling people haven't seen too much of it yet like the casuals haven't seen but I thought she was on a tap uh cost out when you had him on the floor knocked out yeah oh that's happened twice but you know I mean even I think I think that's I think that's the greatest celebration post by celebration second best was all this one yeah yeah you took your your Tweet uh seriously in the documentary Paul [ __ ] you up a little bit [Laughter] I think he's gonna find this exactly when I grabbed him because I think he's like because he's he wrestled in high school I saw him wrestling even Costa he was able to do duck hunters and kind of stuff he was able to wrestle and he's really good and um like I was like [ __ ] you're strong I can feel him straight away he's stronger like he's a beefy dude but so am I yeah muscle technique and also I have obviously he's not a carnivore diet he's a strong dude and I think I think he's just gonna he's gonna do it at some point even just once I think he's gonna do just once just for the spectacles he can't he can box I told him about a kick a little bit he'll work I think those guys especially Jake because when I was at the house I stayed knocked on Nate and Jake was just such a nice dude like a big fan you said you were at the house you saw him knock out Nate uh Nate Robinson oh yeah he's fighting on me that's right I forgot my bad now yeah he almost broke it in Vegas not but like so talking to him at the house I realized that like that night like oh this guy is crazy he's gonna do this [ __ ] like he really wants the box and look at him now even that Puerto Rico guys just locked in he's just like yeah you know he takes a seriously yeah it wasn't like you know [ __ ] around I think he didn't come to dinner he was at the house for a little bit but um yeah uh I think Logan will fight in the UFC at some point just for fun who would be a good matchup for Logan [Laughter] no an active UFC dude I don't even know their name let me give you a clickbait let me give you a quick bait right you ready is that a good uh mess I'm saving that one I want things okay bro that was beautiful do you really want it no I want it I want to pray for greatest promos I've ever seen in history what do you say when he's what he said in full blonde hair blue eyes white face if he said this if he said I'm the captain now man you have to listen on a troll level yeah I appreciate you have to acknowledge 10 out of 10. bro like I just okay look at this you know what he's a white guy from South Africa are you familiar with the things you know um what ancestreamme.com is yeah yeah it's for why people have been outrageous yeah thank you yeah so this is how white people find out their Native Americans yeah but this is what I'm saying I could do mine and it'll tell you 100 I'm Nigerian yeah you're the bad boy ogun state from from Africa the greatest continent on the planet oh wow [Laughter] yeah exactly the diamonds on your pinky exactly that's what I'm saying the drip all right you got a couple good things okay okay you do his ancestrymmy.com and I'll tell you where he's really from where is he from I don't know where are all people from doing one of those ones [Music] [Laughter] we're the captains now no but like I think it's French duplicity is a French name I did my Googles who's left to fight I mean that honestly like I wanted to fight DPP I will fight about prayer on this I will make this happen I'll Manifest this it's gonna rock like rock Rob or do something crazy in the first he's fighting Rob Rob I'm gonna be there whoever wins I'm gonna step in the cage with them you will do a third one with Rob I have to I got to make it interesting for myself how much longer you want to do this I said at the post five press conference I was like I think I got less than 25 left but they're like 20. I mean what I'm like the crazy number now even I'm like bro that's life in China when I lived in China for 10 months is kickboxing granted at a high level yeah fought 24 times 24 times yeah but that's Chinese people that's like Five Points ukrainians as well I fought a lot of Eastern Europeans so they brought okay they brought because eventually I say I was there to be a journeyman and they couldn't beat me so if you can't beat them so they you were a B-side you were there yeah I was there yeah they brought me over to make their guys look good but I kept on whooping their guys and they're like oh hey hey long and then that's how I got the name of the black dragon hey long and then you had those things like a dragon to whatever you look like I want to go back I miss I do miss China I missed my time that I felt like it got me really ready for fame and got me really ready like just being a regular black guy in China yeah yeah not legit that's what it was it was good I was like no that's less reason they would call you Kobe Bryant no not like they think oh Kobe Bryant the basketball no no no no what does that mean kickboxing fight like boxing yeah damn bro yeah no they really appreciate my pronunciation because my language your Dubai is very tonal as well so I was passable like if I go to Chinese girlfriend I would have [ __ ] I would have aced that [ __ ] but you know I was just yeah I was outside [Laughter] what are the Happy Endings like in in China are they happiest are they happiest hey hey hey [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] yes I'm gonna take a break real quick because while wow Sonia the [ __ ] UFC champion of the world you guys should know about the official sponsor of the UFC at least when it comes to law and that is Morgan and Morgan guys if you are in an accident and you get [ __ ] up by somebody like say you're Izzy's next opponent and you want to sue you could call Morgan and Morgan and they could get you money you're not gonna get money out of Izzy because you signed up a [ __ ] release but if you're just some guy walking down the street and something foul happens to you if you're Shifty getting hit by a car while you're on your bicycle you could call Morgan and Morgan and you could save a lot of money they are America's largest injury Law Firm they have over 100 offices Nationwide and more than 800 lawyers that's insane they have recovered over 15 billion dollars for their clients and they have a proven track record of fighting like Izzy to get you your full and fair compensation submitting an injury claim is also as easy as is he submitting his next opponent that was pretty good right so all you do is do it online it's more like you know doing something on an app than it is calling a law firm looking through phone books or whatever Antiquated [ __ ] you got to do with Morgan and Morgan you can submit a claim and eight clicks or less without ever having to leave your couch so if you are ever injured you can check out Morgan and Morgan their fee is free unless you win think about that you don't pay nothing if you lose so for more information go to forthepeople.com flagrant or dial pound law that's pound 529 from your cell phone again that is for the people.com flagrant or pound law which is pound 529 from your cell now let's get back to the show okay so uh when is uh when is our boy Diamond fighting again blood diamond yeah we're like this is your boy you were in China with him and the tours man we've been around the world for different countries being will be many places yeah have fun yeah hotels together you know yeah yeah but they're calling big dick diamonds we're all Brothers that's inside joke between me and him like me him chance it's a long story how long [Laughter] no but um I hate Sydney we're trying to put them on Sydney and I feel like the world needs to see what he can do you know not just him there's a few of our guys that's like he's a two-time King of the Ring Champion yeah he's a kickboxing background guy beast that's probably the guy I know how good he is yeah that's the thing he just sometimes in this life you get a deck of cards that's not in your favor but you didn't get what that one hand I feel like September he just needs a hand to Showcase his skills in the cage first fight in the UFC didn't go his way because [ __ ] happens the guy got him second fight he was doing well but then the third run the guy just held him besides I'm just gonna I don't know I'm gonna win the round nail them I just feel like it's his time to get someone who can showcase put him against a striker if you really want some crazy [ __ ] yeah he'll bro he doesn't think on a Scorpion Kick I've he calls it a drive-by I I call it he calls a drive light he'll be spying you and then you'll be right here like uh if we're Orthodox Orthodox so left from the front left foot then he'll just step off to his right and then he'll oh wow and he caught me the first time when he called me when I was like what the [ __ ] is this yeah it felt like which one of y'all hit me Chris Tucker yeah yeah like that moment how dare you no honestly like he's he's that guy he's that guy so that's that's the weird thing like why wouldn't the UFC why would the USC build him up against other Strikers while he's learning how to Grapple and then by the time he gets there after that Brunson went on a win streak for like what his ages yeah five fights or something something crazy blonde Bronson apparently because it was blonde yeah that was the issue yeah yeah Super Saiyan when he fought me exactly so the tricky thing I guess right there is like I liked it the UFC feeds people right because they're like okay only the stronger survive so you get the best but at the same time there's certain people where I'm like I don't like to yeah build them up and they've done that with certain people example Alex Pereira Alex Pereira with me they built them up again guys none zero and the only guy was uh this Bruno guy and they put him again I got a chin that [ __ ] got it big time boom it was an apex suit the thing I like about the Apex who could hear it bro same with my Island ah [Laughter] oh yeah do you like him a little bit Casa he's funny he's kind of funny on Twitter I don't follow him on Instagram on Twitter he's funny Twitter is crazy yeah I believe I wonder why I just know he said it we're believing it no matter what hey we have to protect you now I'm protected maybe because you knocked him out and then MIM [ __ ] his head he made him one maybe [Laughter] Persian culture or the Strong Survive is there any guy you like so much you just wouldn't fight that's a good question hold on in middleweight yeah if Camaro came up [ __ ] [ __ ] you can't do never yeah never love life never that's my dog that's my brother it's more is bigger than fighting this is 404. bro forever the three kings that error yeah if we went to Nigeria or anywhere in Africa Morocco South Africa bro that era will never ever be I don't want to say it's never ever be replaced but like it's just something that's it was a special moment in history you know and I'm proud I feel proud to be part of that you know what I mean so yeah it's bigger than that even someone said to me when umaru was about to fight Tyra Woodley to win the belt I remember that I don't know where I was but the accident on the party I'm like oh does a part of you hope that kamaru doesn't win so you could be the first African Champion I was like what yuck I was like what kind of mentality do you have to have yeah that you think like I would want my boy to lose so I could be the first I'm like no that question comes from abundance yeah when you have abundance scarcity mindset that's where that comes from but like yeah uh I would never no when you come from scarcity the idea of abundance is incredible right you're like I want three African people that's the most amazing when you come from abundance the idea of scarcity is really exciting so that person who asked you it is a rich Journal yeah speaking of African Champions how you feel about Francis not staying with the UFC I think so I feel like the story is not over even like when um this whole [ __ ] uh thing one Championship came out they're like oh we are withdrawing from the biddington but that was a play because Francis came to them and was honestly look I got this deal you guys match this they couldn't match it so it's a safe face like they protected themselves but I'm that was stupid and then when that happened I saw the The Narrative the the the streets was like oh he made a mistake you know one said this and that but I'm like bro chill it's easy sign with the pfl give it time give it time let him do his thing because the story is still being written also he's the guy that look before the UFC how he got to to Paris have you heard that story yeah it's crazy he's not a guy he told us yeah yeah we had him on the Pod when we were in Miami oh no way he called in he zoomed in yeah yeah oh really yeah have I seen this maybe but yeah he's the man yeah no yeah so he's not going to give up easily he's not a guy that just like faults you know give it time give it time I think he's making the right call pfl also what I like is even like bringing up the fighter he's fighting it they're gonna get paid at least bro guys who want to fight like if I fight faster that's a money fight for me yeah you know and yeah give it time things are happening we'll give it time the story won't fold yeah yeah it'd be really cool to see him come out Victorious yeah and I I think I'm Champion I think he's gonna get it done yeah I think also he's gonna come back to the UFC that's the thing that's quite interesting no he will yeah I think just this is business this is business or is there a world where the three kings go to BFF I didn't want to ask are we gonna have to pay if you need to but yeah I think I'm going to be in the look for me uh as a fact it's never about me people you know like I've been a fan of the USA for so long I think this is where my career is gonna that's it I'm gonna do no [ __ ] boxing after this nothing like that regardless of what you say about Canelo I know your [ __ ] mustache is twizzling but regardless shut the [ __ ] up yeah we got to do one we got to do I don't wanna 185 I mean like no he doesn't have there's no money in it yeah that's the thing that's the only thing yeah if there was an absolute limited like I want at least let me kick him but what we could do is one round what'd they do with uh Demetrius Johnson that's a bad idea if they want a box in the first round and then they want to do kickboxing in the second round it's a bad idea yeah but it's awesome awesome I do well for myself I do offer myself I'm more worried about the guys coming up because I'm such a big fan of the USC regardless of what people might think or have their opinions about the company because look this is business it's Cutthroat it's Vegas it's the [ __ ] Devil's [ __ ] but I want people who fight in the UFC even when they come into the UFC I wanted to be like you're being drafted into the NFL I don't want a guy who's fighting in there because I have teammates who just like diamonds going to the UFC he's doing well for himself but he also has businesses on the sidebar sometimes there's other like you have to like do a few pieces here and there I don't want that for a guy who has a UFC Banner on their chest I want to be a prestigious thing where it's like PT's is personal training yeah personal training my bad it's prestigious to be in the UFC like yo you're a UFC fighter I want to be able to like you want to be once you're in the UFC that's the only job you have thank you that's what I want so I think and I I really want this to be my when I'm doing the UFC I'm done with fighting I move on to other things what if the UFC had a different division in the same way that like baseball has different divisions and where it's like here's UFC in America they have like AAA double a single a so like you lost me basically basically this crazy money in the NBA they have the G league but it's like everybody's making crazy money in the majors and then they have a subdivision [Laughter] where the guys who were like trying to make it into girls sorry [Applause] it's a question he's not from this country he's a foreign yeah even the Chinese people were like not Kobe Bryant not Kobe Drake called um trans once I'm gonna send Drake chance my boy shooting the show because uh struggle jumper yeah they left in the miss you could have edited out the missions anyway like what if the UFC goes okay here's our subdivision and you can still have them on the major UFC fights you can have them on the undercard you can have whatever and then these are the top fighters then all these people that are part of the echelon are making so much money and that's the NFL that's Contender Series yeah like kind of but they're all signed to the UFC yeah because D-League and then NBA when people in the G League aren't making enough money or are making like NBA money you're not upset because you're like oh this is the G League you have to make it up to these their pay-per-view nights you can watch a few of the earlier fights on ESPN yeah and then you have to go to the paper that's like the way they feed you the paper you haven't made it to pay-per-view yet yeah so you're right there I get that but I think the average person is going all these people are assigned to the UFC and what you were just saying is you want the UFC to be NFL yeah so I think the way to do that is sign all the same guys but create a subdivision and then just beg this is the UFC development league or the UFC G or whatever the [ __ ] who it was and then it's just like you know so it's like yeah you're going to make 50 Grand a fighter 30 grand fight but you're doing that for the opportunity to make millions of fights even the [ __ ] billions even just 50 Grand to five even or 30 grand for your UFC debut like entry level 30 grand think about it you do that three times a year also they pay for all your corners and hotel so you don't have to that's different yeah bro they just merged with WME so 21.4 billion dollar company yeah right come on you got money hang on money what are they getting now huh what do people get now because I don't know and I'm sure a lot of people everyone's different my UFC debut I made six figures and I made a 50k bonus so I was blessed because I had my I did my work before I go to the UFC I I cultivated I find my socials I did my fights yeah you were coveted yeah I was coveted yeah there's a difference between a guy who like there comes in like Charles Oliveira's first fight was probably for like a stick of corn you know that but he's become the he's become I honestly mean that and it's I'm just a fan man I'm just a fan like it's crazy for me even doing this [ __ ] because I remember watching the UFC back in the day I used to go to Blockbuster your video easy do you guys have that um back in the day Blockbuster yeah we should like get the the old UFC fights bro the DVDs I'd watch them silver Dan Henderson Rampage Jackson granny Couture such a fan so for me to even be in this position now doing this [ __ ] it's a blessing and I I really I really feel like it's the it's the best sport in the world I really feel like it's it's the it's the best Specter bro I know this [ __ ] cause [ __ ] when I when a fighter walks into a room it's different bro I never play on this look Mike Tyson even amongst Fighters when Mike Tyson walks through the uscpi everyone's like Mike Dan hooker who doesn't fan over no one he tries to get a photo like I know the feeling because when a fighter walk and I walked ah I hate I'm not a name dropping ball okay so I went over your face right at the party at the at the estate the the embassy all these I don't follow basketball so there's all these big time basketball players that was there that was the place I met LeBron and I saw Draymond in the corner on his seat but I had my own section with my boys but then I was talking all these other basketball players afterwards but I noticed the difference and they're so taller than me but it's different when the fighters and the thing because look regardless of the end of the day I can kick your ass and butt [ __ ] it yeah if I wanted to but shout out to what month are we in probably yeah yeah stay outside [Laughter] this is our pride month oh [ __ ] leave it miles yeah yeah there's a different energy when you walk in there's a different respect that's a bad man right there exactly LeBron looking at you like he knows you can [ __ ] him up who LeBron that's different like LeBron was so at the at the house it was only when there's certain people when they move around everyone just kind of like also all the cloud trousers outside bro no they ship them in because um I think it was his name white killer Cyrus he's like yo trade bringer like 400 [ __ ] to the house I was like oh word I don't know who curates all this stuff sure I haven't been talking about this 400. we know there's women at Drake's house there's [ __ ] at the OVO party I think it's like they all park at this venue yeah and then they get [ __ ] what is the venue is it like they just put a light on top of this like they get I don't know who curates it it's a good system they meet at like a parking lot they parked there and then again the buses and the buses drive to the estate or the embassy exactly you can't let any yeah okay everybody means to this thing and then we'll take it so we pulled up to the house right and then we're getting clearance and while we're in our in our Sprinter I see this van pull up to the house and it was like you know those clown cars when like clowns [Laughter] [Music] it's him and LeBron at the house that was like that but LeBron was cool because he didn't have to say what's up but he saw me he's like yo pulled up and we talked for like a minute what was cool and it was just like I just I don't follow basketball but I follow greatness some people are full on just like yo you're great at what you do yep so talking to him was yeah it was a cool moment I think that the reason why it's so easy to give it up for a fighter is because there's no ego involved for a not fighter how so I know you can [ __ ] me up so I could just say you're great but for a basketball player to basketball player it's like no bust your ass one-on-one there's still like a little bit maybe for an actor an actor comedian comedian a musician musicians I've been yeah I know you see how fighter fighter goes it's like almost a fight every single time sometimes it breaks out like that but yeah but the difference is even me I can't wait to go to SPS I really SPS what is a was that when are they bringing out the is it me and Alex should be on there nominations me and Alex best fighter the fighter of the year yeah we should be on that oh yeah because Alex don't do what he does in Vegas when they should go to the ESPYs that next week Dapper up and I bet you the same thing walk the red carpet I just know when we pull up it's just like oh there's them boys again hold on hold on you guys you gotta check my

whatever and you're about culture like when you prostrate the girls that kneel down the boys so you frustrate it's almost like a push-up fully but when you're in public and it's like you know Western World they don't understand so you just touch the ground in front of your parents to show us that did it fully in the cage that's the full prostrate but then in public I said hello Mom hello Dad

prepared yeah but Ash why don't you drink something [ __ ] bro you don't have time you don't have any fun [Applause] let's go let's go the [ __ ] legend the legend [Laughter] foreign [Laughter] [Laughter] for me personally my dad used to distribute um Guinness all over West Africa oh really that was like one of his businesses so when I was about maybe seven or eight I remember just being like what does that taste like and he's like have it sipping I was like oh yuck so I didn't drink until I was 18. because I just thought every alcohol tasted like yeah but then those 18 I found Bourbon and Coke Woodstock yeah then I understood when I first got drunk I remember like oh that's why that girl's crying outside the party oh that's kind of that's why that guy wants to fight everyone bro the honest it's like like my eyes was open to White drunk people do what drunk people do what they bring out of you I'm just a [ __ ] golden retriever bro I'm like happy when I'm drunk but I mean if it gets down it gets down but I'm a happy drunk I'm not one of these guys who drinks and then like I look for static I'm not I'm not that guy is it weird now that nobody wants static not anymore but back in the day when they did like maybe three years ago someone trying you know people get jealous guys as well they're trying something about bro I'm not gonna whoop your ass for free what the [ __ ] why would I whoop your ass that's so fire what a fire line not like literally also Google me like I'm tough who the [ __ ] are you yeah it's because no one knows who the [ __ ] you are you're trying to prove yourself I'm like you would have guys still kind of push back like about two or three years ago now no one would try me also I have hey look up so Paulie the big ones yeah what about the cripples [Laughter] bro he was hobbling but still being in security yeah it was the most endearing beautiful thing I've ever seen before like him thinking someone going on and like hobbling over bro that man now but like so poorly former super heavyweight King of the Ring champ whoa I just walked out we know about we know about Paulie I just walked outside but he got locked down yeah he locked down he locked it down he explained King of the Ring to people who aren't familiar with uh that's uh it just happened a recent one and cam Ralston oh my God he just also cabbage when we were saying karaoke we had your boy what was his name um right kid who is with us he was it him no no the last one we're doing karaoke he was with us he's in New York now and he was training but he I he remember when you first came to the gym and he was like oh [ __ ] this kid's a problem why kid white dude he was kickboxing dude he did kind of drink back in the day look not much what's the name Mark Johnny Joe Joe just won the the recent King in the ring but also one of our boys Ash Jordan Sully was in the finals with him oh [ __ ] yeah and when you have to fight your boy that you kind of train with is different it's a different energy so apparently no one from my gym was in the corner we had to get different people because you don't want to go against of course yeah it's his skills it's like been the best I mean shout out to the gym though the gym is producing the two guys well it was a crazy fight cam won but apparently the final seconds excuse me the final seconds was um Ash rocked cam and he was on wobbly legs but then about I think it was about eight seconds before before the bell and yeah well I'm glad I wasn't there because if I was that I'd be in a nervous wreck so the concept is like eight man tournament right so it's like I'm not sure if you mentioned but it's like like you fight three or four times three if you win it two times you fight three times no that night one that night break your hand in the second place watch this I've won it three times how many times you break some [ __ ] in the middle of none Yeah I broke faces sturdy but not my own for me I've won I actually I've won how many eight men I've won four eight-man tournaments and I've won one four-man tournament and King of the Ring I won three times at two different weight classes wow um the thing with tournaments though when you do it you like after the first fight you get you you have an adrenaline an adrenal dump or adrenaline dump so that's kind of like regulate yourself and don't go too because like it's when you fight it's like you're up here and you come down you have to regulate you have to adjust adjust and then put your jacket on stay warm wait for the next one I didn't think after the fight you have to adjust and then you have to fight it again second one semi-finals and then but what I like to do is I go sit in the crowd with my friends and I have my jacket on and I just be in the vibe and then the final fight that you get over there and then you just show out but it's uh to win the eight-man tournament it's no easy feat especially in kickboxing as well it's yeah it's you have to it's a special few to do that and to win it one season is cool twice awesome three times never done I did it yeah how injured are you going into that third fight sometimes you are I mean nose is sore no from kicking so when you're kicking obviously throughout the fight right your your shins are starting you're good your shins are starting to take damage yeah because I'm saying by that third fight nah I'm fine because like also adrenaline pain tolerance but I just know I've had experience also I had Doug finding who's one of the one of my coaches who's the other owner of ckb he he's won a few of those and he kind of just coached me my first one and put a couple years ago he coached me and just made sure like I was fine like sorry I'm just gonna try and put this mic I got you bro it's almost like a rite of passage like thank you to the UFC from our crew you've got Israel one of three times yeah five Diamond twice Carlos twice yeah and now Cam that he's speaking of we just got him signed to uh Dana White Contender series fight in September obviously he's fighting for his spot and it's one of those things I'm show you've really got to show out yeah so you know because even if you win doesn't mean you're gonna get signed but um yeah like he's won twice now and actually just won on the weekend that's it who's the guy he's talking about so a lot of our guys we push and that's just a kickboxing match obviously they're going into MMA yeah yeah but that's how well-rounded that obviously the gym is and the guys are both I love that Craig is out there with you guys yeah I know he's back now that guy's funny as hell bro on Instagram yeah and that [ __ ] is is he is marketing it brilliantly he is he's on some Eight Mile [ __ ] like you can't say anything it wasn't you sure it wasn't keep juices gay yeah yeah yeah and then and then there was like uh what was it like I was saying um someone else is called Craig Jones yeah uh it was like there's something online that he posted oh yeah it was like there's someone else called Craig Jones and he was like no I know something happened like it was like they added this guy called Craig Jones I don't know what it was about can't remember how but it was like and he was like oh it's because of all the gay shirt you know like it was like I don't know it was something I don't know what what it was dude he's just managed like he's owned everything that's happened even calling it B Team Jiu Jitsu yeah second place very first the second yeah yeah bro yeah yeah he's great I think I swear like we're not because I've wrote with high level guys Andre gaval yeah I saw that I've been atos Jiu Jitsu in San Diego the Rotolo Brothers [ __ ] amazing I've seen those guys in one Championship no no but like it's so good but when I roll with Craig it feels like magic because like I'll have a Dos choke but you know he just there's levels this is the first time we did it this is why I bring this up is because the I the Dodge truck I had it locked up I'm like I got this and then within one two moves he's on my back I'm like house way Jiu Jitsu game bro he gonna get on your back you gotta motivate him go down the back a little bit maybe but still it's just it's wild the way he does it and it's just his insulated he's absolutely smart guy yeah Vogue talks about it as well like you know it's been a big pillar for him he really but does Volcan have an advantage that like his head is just right on his shoulders but that was the first time that Craig came in on that camp so Craig came in on a tough show yeah when Alex did tough versus Ortega and it just so happened that like obviously all the time the work they did there ended up like Alex got in that position yeah yeah yeah so when they worked on him before the fight like right before the fight they worked before they walked out and for Alex to survive this guy who's a submission specialist his Guillotine get out deep guilty bro that [ __ ] was crazy they fall into a triangle tea City bro it falls to a triangle and then get out of his other move and then for the arena of the third round [ __ ] him up for like 30 seconds yeah get out of agility I feel like once you enter you're done nah this levels there's techniques this is it's like I have to run the ground to show you but like we can Rolling Girl [Laughter] baby is that the next level for your guys crew is becoming experts in Jiu Jitsu as well you guys are known for the kickboxing on the not me yet [ __ ] not me yet but like a lot of like Dan that's a stink hangman he'll hang you oh yeah yeah that's his thing he he's uh he knows and also cameras was really when we get to see Dan again man damn he's July Jalen that's right yes that's one of those fights where like he he'll you know 10 is so funny you could tell like I knew when he got one tattoo his whole body would be tattooed with him bro bro you should wait to see his legs his legs look cool as [ __ ] yeah I'm used to it now a little bit but still when I go back I was like [ __ ] that's cool it's just like a whole piece and I can't wait till the wrestle around someone's head bang it's just all bro it's gonna look so cool bro we did a show in Vegas and I think he was at camel stage and he came but I've never seen somebody who's never been in front of like people for that reason be so calm yeah he's like okay it actually is he's a psychopath he's got an ankle picked and let it happen yeah like that [ __ ] is here in New York like I watched it it was popping it's insane he's like well if my leg breaks my leg breaks bro just yeah so being in a theater there's nothing bro yeah yeah now what we do is is yeah it's a special few special few but not everyone can get to this point even as a fighter not everyone can get to that point where it's like they're just like the me and gasoline people think I was joking about that [ __ ] when I'm like bro if I die here I die here this is it that's real who thought you were joking you're my boys but like most people go [ __ ] but I meant that that's right because it's that moment I was like this is where I that's why I die but if I'm ready to die I'm ready to kill and that's more that I was trying to kill him um I was trying to kill him have you spoken to him since he's going back to welterweight I [ __ ] with gasolum he's the man I talked to him he was fighting on my last card as well yeah he was there so there's a question I have and this kind of ties into the peretta fight where there's like a kinship after it if the fight is more of a war does it make you guys closer after because you push yourself to that limit that level so I'm grateful for gasoline because he made he it was one of them one of the greatest most of my life was that that moment before the fifth round and that fifth round because he pushed me past my limit that I thought I had I thought I was like I didn't know I was I wasn't done like he hurt me in the fourth round I'm wobbled and then me and Eugene I can't remember what is I wish I'm gonna ask the UFC to get the mic of what was said in the corner because I want to know but he gave me he didn't give me any like Corner advice you just kind of gave me the speech it's motivated me just like something to like this is what you're born for a bill for this and I remember this was saying I remember Brad riddell's voice in my head going embrace the darkness because he was saying that to me when I was in the air dying embrace the darkness go numb go numb so then when I said you're not gonna beat me I'm ready to die I'm prepared to die I meant that and when you get to that place with someone and they push you past that you appreciate that way more like there's a scar on my face ah if I look at the mirror I point it to her but I can't see a mirror right now but like I know he's got a scar on his face from me that when you look at it you're like ah but same with prayer I appreciate prayer because he made me a better fighter he made me a better better athlete because he pushed me he beat me three times and I was just like bro I I need to be better I need to go to that next level so I can like you can know yourself you can realize who you are as a warrior as a fighter so yeah I'm grateful for those moments and yeah you after that then you even me now with him I'm gonna make him a better fighter I just [ __ ] did what I did to him yeah he's gonna make him better it's gonna make him better is that the darkest corner you've been in oh and for fighting life no fighting him and gaslim it's like not here yeah no you're right yep yep who Pereira because this last Camp I just see me he knows me I'm a freak he knows what it was like before even the first brother could fight Rodman Dennis Rodman Dennis Rodman I like vacations whatever you do like I work hard I play hard and I've always said I'm the one's hero I'm known as Guru but if you take a position my story it's cool but like yeah uh now I'm mature I know my body I know my mindset and like I said if Rob wins this fight I know what I have to do to get myself up for this fight [ __ ] it breaking news I'm gonna submit him Rob Rob wins this fight I'm gonna submit him if he wins this fight I don't care I'm not gonna knock him out I'm gonna submit him even though you could you wanted to smoke before I knock them out how many times like knockouts what that's a weird thing that like you have to do as a fighter find ways to get yourself interested find him a third time it's like the camp yeah what is the inspiration for why are you gonna get on the bike why are you going to run why are you going to do the cardio yeah if he wins I'm gonna submit you if you want if not drink us I'm just gonna [ __ ] mark yeah

up bro what hold on let me let you grab something [Applause] you see this guy was choking out Tim he was choking out Tim Tim Welsh and then tapped out while he was choking him out I've never seen

keep going keep going keep going and I couldn't do because he wanted me to bring him to the point where he was asking me to just gassed out no my emotion my empathy showed up I just didn't want to go there with it yeah what were you gonna say oh yeah while we're doing breaking news there was a fight we all wanted a couple years ago yeah Jon Jones yeah is that still possible now that he's gone up it's not even that it's like it's kind of like the Alex thing where everyone's like oh we need a fifth fight we and everyone's like everyone else is more bricked up for that than me and him I'm not interested in fifth fight with Alex that's exactly unless he comes up and gets another belt that's that's exactly most people are like look everyone on 3-1 you're gonna make it oh it's 1-1 in MMA you got to do a third one and I was like no one cares no my thing is me and John's the same thing even like on impulsive when they said what they said I was like I thought it was a joke and then he actually pull it up and I was like Ah that's funny but it's what what happened with just Jones gave him you know props I guess from a martial arts perspective I guess he said you know he was asked the question like who are you a fan of and he was like well actually like I'm a fan of Israel oh fire bro that's the thing it's like fire if there's one thing which is promoting a fight and there's another thing which is martial arts right now he's fighting let's have seen like what you know it was saying earlier about like that when when they two guys fight each other but then they'd become you know yeah yeah connection um is it is [Music] father son big balls [Applause] [Laughter] be like that it does I remember in Puerto Rico yeah yeah that's a that's a great story [Laughter] with all the

whatever but if you're not a doctor accountant lawyer engineer you're a what a failure but dancing and press the [ __ ] out of them yeah no no now it does they appreciate it now that's interesting that like like because Akash I imagine you've gone through the same thing and like Indian culture has this very similar to Nigerian culture whereas this this pressure for Success yeah but there is this like appreciation of the Arts like if you're nice at dancing there's like we're singing but mainly for us only the Indian stuff if you dance American they're gonna be like I don't even understand

in a house they were trash and then all of a sudden you just see that they got this deal for like uh they had a a horror film yeah with the hand with the hand yes uh talk to me oh connect oh what's the movie called uh I just remember talk to me it was that Sunday it's got picked up but they're legit they're legit they're legit they're legit David I didn't know who they were until he uh he or Tim introduced me to them at the hotel and they are cool and they pitched something to me that I like I won't say what it is so no this is the first time Ashley told you to talk on the whole part yeah now you can go I think it's awesome so that's why I'm saying like you're [ __ ] I don't know if it's gonna happen yet or not because of timing again you being a villain or a hero in a [ __ ] horror movie insane nah nah okay wait a minute you're gonna you're gonna be the uh yesterday's prize yeah it's not today's price no but no it's not even about that for me it's about the moments and capturing but everything first is fighting I've already turned down trust me like I think three major Motion Pictures because I had fights booked and I was like I can't I'm not gonna be that guy that just like goes through acting and then like loses what I'm doing with fighting and you're not gonna be angry Andrew Anderson oh I don't know bro I put my fighting career aside so I could be in you people bro I have one line no that was funny you're in the gym it's all the same bro it's all the same same thing there's two movies White Men Can't Jump and you people oh I haven't finished it you gotta I've watched that the first 10 minutes I'll finish it I'll finish it I will finish it it's an amazing movie yeah I will finish it but I watched you people that was funny I was really funny but yeah for me it's more about like I just don't wanna jeopardize my fighting career because I might be a superstar after this I can do whatever I want motion capture voiceovers I'll have my own production company video games but that's why I don't like the whole 20 fight [ __ ] like yeah cut it down to like five well two is less than 20. say 20. I say 20 because that's like a ballpark figure because I know how much like me and Volk are the most active UFC fighters not even Champions yeah but talk that [ __ ] Fighters because a lot of people don't realize it like yeah when we're not just when I'm done what he's done you don't miss us most people don't they don't do it like us yeah we're not I'm being honest it was [ __ ] we're we're not we're out here and we're not in your reps there's a little there's a little line in the documentary where I think when you came in you fought six times in the first year no five five today they said six in a DOT it's it's it's I think they said six in the dock my first year in the uscafel five times in a year and one day that's insane yeah well they they they they sell you for four times in a year I'm like yeah it's a year and one day after five times shut up but that's unheard of for most people some guys do it but they're not the same level when you're a champion you know what I mean talk that [ __ ] and keep going keep going so when we're done that's all I'm talking about it's hard because a lot of guys even like they don't pick the hardest guys they're trying to like hide I didn't have to fight forever I didn't have to fight Romero Costa I wanted to fight like but certain guys I just like you know what no you wanna [ __ ] I want yeah cause I wanna like I don't care if I win or lose it's more about just the experience and taking these guys heads that's what it's about and like I said in those moments where I'm sparring I mean I just [ __ ] that's not forever I'm gonna do this [ __ ] for a little bit longer when I'm done I'm done so when I'm done I'm done so yeah I enjoy it while I can and you should too you should enjoy it while I'm here when I'm done people are so fickle bro they don't have the fickle they don't even recognize that yeah right then I don't expect them to that's why I don't try and please him anymore I'm just like it's whatever there's one guy bro on the way here bro this guy jumped out of his car and I see him at the hotel and they know where I'm at now he dropped out the clients it's like brother can you stop I just took a picture with you the other day he's like yeah but can you find this I'm like no and Ike was like [ __ ] off like 10 [ __ ] all right bro I'm not gonna reward stalking hmm yeah I just tweeted out I literally tweeted it right afterwards I said I'm not gonna reward stalking but it's like why are you Dr he was he draw from Ariel was stalking us from there but I was like I took a picture with you yesterday but then you stalked me at Ariel and I know like they want me to sign these things I'm like I know what you're doing I'm not stupid you're gonna sign this [ __ ] in in early on outside 20 ship for one person but eventually I realized like hang on yeah eBay you gotta have some respect you saw drink do that to that fan Drake did that to it put them on games yeah he was like bro take care of yourself exactly don't be doing this [ __ ] being out here but he put him on game I did that actually recently and um on the way back from Puerto Rico so there was like is this black kids and this dude and then as I was walking through the airport I just hit oh yo stop and he's like yo I gotta get a photo I gotta get a photo I was like the [ __ ] is that and now he's like nah [ __ ] off and then like his coach was trying to take a video and then Craig Joseph was like what the [ __ ] put his phone down and then we're waiting in line and then went to the shop chilling and they'll kind of like you can feel the engine when I was watching it and I remember like hang on it's a teacher I learned this from Jason Momoa uh long story short at the airport went out on the way to Miami I seemed like the airport New Zealand well they put these little two kids on game because they're trying to sneak a photo of him and he kind of like stand up hand them straight so I learned from him and I was like Hey kids I told my security I was like hey that's not how I asked for a photo if you want to ask for a photo you say hey Israel I'm a big fan or can I please get a photo yeah like be respectful have to try to sneak some [ __ ] yeah I gotta get a photo I gotta get yo oh yo I gotta get a phone it's entitlement thank you so I was like and then all of them was standing right there I was like and I put them on again I was like so you have to and I was like why don't you say it and they were like I was like who wants to say it up oh Israel can I please get a photo I was like thank you who's got the best phone give me a phone boom took a selfie and I was like I shook all their hands I was like please hold your hold yourself to a higher standards you're a young black man doing your thing being the girl basketball players apparently and I just said like just hold yourself to a high standard just go out here and be like entirely like that but yeah I just felt like look at me I'm tipsy right now but but I just felt like just you can't be like that and think you're gonna get what you want so the guy today that was stalking us I'm not gonna reward that I'm not gonna reward someone just being a dick you know being entitled so the guy I was talking I was like nah I'm not going to reward that at all I was like nah take a hike take a hike not only because it's inconvenient for you but it's inconvenient for him like you're not treating yourself with respect if you're out here trying to get photos with everyone that's like some weird clout trout also you're trying to catch a lick that's the thing where it's I think you can tell when someone is genuine like when someone's like oh my God bro I'm the been the biggest fan like can I please have a photo yeah there's some there's some appreciation you feel it for you yeah yeah yeah but when you can tell someone's just trying to sell it or flip it or take your signature yeah throw that [ __ ] I know what it is it took me a while to figure it out but I might because I find a hotel when I should stay there I see them like outside same people and even like when this in the mob though when I say no they'll pass it on to someone else they'll get me to sign it because I've in the beginning did like I'll be holding a [ __ ] crying kid I'm like this kid does not want to be here so now what I do now I'm like how are you what's your name if they can talk if not cool and if they want to take a photo that's cool but then if they don't then I'm like I'm not gonna [ __ ] force your kids to take a photo so he can be or she can be a Jordan horse for you the worst is like my boyfriend's a big fan oh my God I want you a fan watch my boyfriend's a bit I'm like yeah why don't you if I'm a big just say you're a big fan yeah yeah let's take a photo if I say no I say no in my body my rules at this point you're like you've done it all year after not yet top but what is all yeah what is all then I mean like dominance weight class yes but there's more there's more what yeah so what that's what I want to know um to scalps bro I got names to take in the game oh [ __ ] okay yeah just names just names and things I want to do exactly I want to submit him if he wins okay is there like a thing that's happened with with Jordan where like you have to manifest the beef in order to get yourself up so Michael had to manage I was like what'd you do it's not right not enough people are cleaning their rooms that was a good impression you thought that was him in your head you're like no never watching too much yeah I'm jealous we can all share it's all good that's fair enough but there's a little thing that you saw in the Last Dance documentary where like Jordan seemed to have to like manifest these beefs yeah because it got him up and one of the greatest things about Jordan was that he was like uh to quote Michael Irvin 100 right anytime I go out there it's a hundred percent yeah so she had to Kobe as well and the greats that's what they do so you have to manifest the furnace right find the little things I find a little example Costa or skinny cloth that was easy though oh yeah concept was easy he gave you everything you needed you know what I like this wall the fact that you said it Dan said it and someone else said it as well they're like and then you were like oh bro he's gonna do this he's gonna [ __ ] him up even my last fight woke was like I was there the last week of his Camp he's gonna take him out in the third round the vote and so when my friends believe in me then that's it like I believe in myself so much but like when my friends believe in me it adds that extra low but you still need people to not believe in you it feels well that's that's this many there's many of them so that's easy so during a fight we got like Venom all like sip a little bit of Venom just because like you know you get immune to it and that fuels you a little bit do you think Eugene does that to you to to kind of wow you up does he do that yeah we know what he did yesterday that was really I appreciate it was like when the last thing is like and I also have to say thank you and then heavy heavy heavy it's like to you I wasn't expecting that that was a big compliment he's he's getting choked up on you yeah and you know what he's supposed to get choked up man a few words no normally when he gets choked up it's during like before we say a prayer before we start warming up in the back you know everyone in the circle boy head close your eyes Heavenly Father blah blah but sometimes some fights he'll he'll do this he'll be like [Music] um heavily for heavily so I went on the microphone I know he's getting choked though he's an emotional guy and also on the film he got quite raw but um yeah so when he gave me that compliment at the end even the key he didn't want to come up but I was just like you forced him up yeah because he's part of the movie he's part of my my life story yeah your relationship in there was really important yeah so when he did that it was a big compliment coming from him I really appreciated that also him acknowledging the place in your life that he plays like he goes I'm not his father I'm not his friend I'm somewhere in between you know that but but that's huge right it's like all of us that have a father that we love like we don't need another father yeah but we still want people that we can look up to be inspired by and people to hold us to a different standard yeah and like him recognizing that role but also being there kind of as a friend as well yeah because your father balance yeah exactly yeah he knows me he's we've worked for so long he knows me he knows what makes me tick I wonder I wonder if he was there's moments in the dark where I'm like oh is he is he playing games he's trying to is he trying to like get the one when he was like he wouldn't admit this no not that one the one where he kind of like laid into fight week so it was it was like he called me a weak link but I wonder if it's like you're you're taking it he's using me as an example but I understood that and they would do that Tim Duncan too do you know Greg Popovich was the coach of this uh no I know it's him Duncan I know the name so Tim Duncan is the arguably one of the greatest NBA players of all time okay and and then Coach Greg Popovich is his coach yeah and he's one of the greatest NBA coaches of all the same thing to him well what he would do is he would rip apart Tim in front of the whole team yeah the whole team was like oh [ __ ] if you're ripping apart the goat yeah I better stay in line because and the Goat I think and I I don't know everything I know he does that he does that with me but thing is he had to pull him up a little bit because he's like oh you can't do it too much because he's human and eventually he has emotions and you're gonna [ __ ] crush him so Ash had to like hey chill what's the level to motivate that's what you got to figure out as a coach but the thing is I'm more mature now I know myself I know how to I know what I need to do to win and that's the most important thing [ __ ] everything else even if you lose it's cool we still win in certain aspects we're winning because when you win in this game you accelerate you climb up the ladder and all that stuff blah I'm on money all that [ __ ] so yeah I know what to do to win but he still has to just like just to make sure like even before the last fight like by the cage you'll see him because I never dab of my family but I tapped into them because I felt so much love from the side so I was like oh my ash was there a dab Ash my family and so my dad and then he goes when I dab all of them up he goes hey it's chill I'm like I'm good I was like you see me smile I'm good I'm just High I'm just you know I'm ready but he still has to just be like Play Devil's Advocate better to say it just cause in case in case I'm over excited I'm like yeah even Andre Andre my wrestling coach shout out to him he he even pulled me up is like I want you to because he's the one took the caller off so he came to my my room at the Airbnb before before the fight he's like I like the energy of this I'm gonna release you but I don't want you to go crazy and I was like trust me I'm not don't worry I got this he's like good and then we dap up because before every fight when we were in the final Hotel he'll come through in my room and then it will just like go through some sequences on the on the wall he's my on the fan so whatever because it's my wrestling coach and like so when he came to my room in Miami it was just like I like the energies I don't want you to get crazy I was like I got this they just but you have to if you don't say it and then I do it then it's like [ __ ] I wish I said it you know it's like oh so that's why they do it but I'm glad they do because I mean yeah look what we end up question this is gonna be a little weird I like weird let's get weird are you a God-fearing man yes okay so fighting is one of those things where it's like you can die yeah so it's like uh there's been conspiracies with uh Jake Paul where people was like ah he does some weird rituals before fights they're like yeah I saw some [ __ ] weird uh YouTube sometimes you know you sometimes you jump in a field but I'm like do you do you ever try to tap into something else to oh yeah that's a good question you know why so this last fight Pereira I felt like he is very in touch with his culture spiritually so you see me at the wings I came with the iruke which is a chief staff it's made out of a horse still I had a small one but my I decided that idea is a prefix for King so I'm from a royal family my mom and my dad my granddad on my mom's side had three words with my dad said I had two wives I probably had five we'll figure it out okay one starting five but but I came with the urukam because I wanted to tap into my culture that's what I said when I was when I was you know micro dosing I was chilling I was able to like tap into my my my my Primal side my spirituality and I was like I learned from him after New York because he was able to like I see the account that I see little things he was doing I was like oh he's really in touch with his culture so I tapped into my roots into my hair so I did my Googles because I was like let me know because sometimes I feel like nothing but sometimes like not just black but African history isn't told to its fullest because before [ __ ] slavery before that we was Kings that's a meme but we were rulers like deep deep the richest man on the planet in history exactly you know so as it's happened to my history a little bit and then like yeah I I I took inspiration from that I did I'll share something later on yeah but um yeah for me I had to do just because I it's not not Juju or no nothing weird I'm very spiritual and even Oh I thought he was talking about dove into [Laughter] [Laughter] yeah spirituality this last fight I really did that's why I microdosed and I was trying to tap into this the Primal cell are you going to continue that going forward yeah yeah yeah because I success yeah yeah I am broke they're trying to fix it so and again even this cat they were like oh he's gonna try and wrestle us because he has so much success and probably we thought we we I did think you were gonna take that [ __ ] down whenever you want yeah exactly yeah I did but I was like nah it's not even my ego I just knew I was a better Striker yeah it just got me because he's a good Striker as well he is good I know and he does his Basics really well but I was like I'm great so after strong is great do you feel like the flow state is spiritual ultimately that's good I think it yes I think I feel like science is like spirituality or magic we don't understand yet because apparently the Flow State when you're in the zone there's like five or six different chemicals in your brain that just they're flowing and they're releasing at the same time dopamine blah blah blah whatever else but then yeah I feel it is because when I'm in it I know it because dance and also when I do what I do when I'm in it like the best one I've done so far I think the clean not the cleanest one I've done so far is the cost of fight I never even came out of it like I said CEO in the fight recently Tiffany Lopez he was in the zone pull out in the zone pull out but he was in the zone I felt like the cost of fire just in this one the whole time I did not even like it was not even an option I was just in the zone the whole time how do you practice that is that natural or just is that something that comes over time it just comes out bro it's just rips but still even though I keep on freestyling the skill example you're doing the move you'll dance to a track you might or might not know the track and you hit like a certain beat or certain drop and then the whole crowd goes crazy and then you ride that wave because when they wow it's a wave they give you energy thank you it's a wave and you ride that wave and then your body just knows how to link it to something else that just makes sense and looks cool or feels cool to the music so when I fight fast an advantage because I'm able to like I'm able to just ride that wave when the crowd hit someone with a leg kick or I even if I miss a question mark kick so guess what else flow state is one of those things that a lot of people don't really understand because they most people don't access it you know and it's like you told me one time we were hanging out and I used to do karate back in the day I did it for years and there was one time where I was like in a tournament where it's like I was it was just weird like I was fighting in a way that I never fought before yeah and I just [ __ ] everybody up I didn't even remember parts of it yes and you're like you told me that no that's it yeah and I'm like I think that he remembers there are two no but there are times where it's like people access their Flow State whatever it is like I think you guys access it on stage I saw my brother access the flow state right Greg shout out to Greg man I saw Greg shows actually supposed to say I told the story when we were interviewing uh he's younger Russell Brand when we were in London but I saw him act as Flow State when he was playing drums and I believe it was The Bitter End and it was like I thought I was witnessing divine intervention I know it sounds crazy but everybody in that room also felt that he started playing and then everybody else was playing it was like a jam band situation everybody else was like bro they stopped and he was playing by himself and the whole place was like what the [ __ ] is the [ __ ] is going on after that stuff it's a vibe after that tournament people's like yo what got into you I was like for me I feel like it's when you get to that state it's almost like even now this is an idea I've been messing with maybe the last two years it's like actually no last year I watched I'll get back to this I I watched this movie with no idea what the I don't watch I hate trailers they ruin movies yes they ruin movies so I watched everything all at once at the same time and I had no idea what it was I didn't watch the trailer I didn't even know the title but as I was watching it the movie was unfolding itself to me naturally like unfolding itself and like as it did I was like what the [ __ ] like have you guys seen this yeah which everything everywhere all at once you've seen it yeah you've seen it yeah okay so the bit in the laundromat when he like instead like hopping in all Jackie Chan I was like what the [ __ ] happening I was like wait this his her dad's just being [ __ ] Karate Kid yeah yeah so if I went to trailer then I know the premise I know what is up oh he's tapped into that metaverse multimeters Multiverse or whatever that's why I love that movie it's such a great movie but I feel like sometimes it's because there's that whole theory of quantum physics is that Multiverse when you're in the Flow State it's like you tap in the movie that you're like if it's karate skills they do that thing you can tap into that other sometimes it's like that okay so the cost of fight actually you know what real quick to everything everywhere all at once or whatever that is what I took from that movie is that his fight yeah he was he not her no he okay his fight which she realizes is being kind in a world that is not kind love wins and love wins love wins and it is hard as hell to be nice to people and support people and love people in a world of people who are bitter and angry and will fight against that and she realizes that about her dad and she goes whoa it's way easier to go to the donut or the bagel or whatever the whole it's way easier to be bitter it's way easier to criticize way easier to be angrier it's harder to be my dad who's [ __ ] nice to everybody despite them being an [ __ ] to him right like everybody's a jerk to him and he [ __ ] takes it and he's still kind to them and then she goes holy [ __ ] that is a way better way of being a human and then she sees her dad instead of being a weak person as being the karate guy I think the wife sees her husband is dead oh sorry sorry the dad of the girl the girl's going towards the dog yeah yeah so so the husband who's the wife whatever and the wife's been [ __ ] on him constantly but the daughter realizes it and I think the mom but also is like I thought that was the most beautiful thing looking at life as a beautiful opportunity to be kind to these strangers who might even be an [ __ ] to you yeah is the harder more martial art fighting version than easily going the world sucks there's no point I'm a victim [ __ ] you [ __ ] life is nothing cynicism is weakness bro to me I remember watching that in the last 30 minutes going what a profound it's beautiful what a profound way of looking my favorite movie of last year I watched it first time sober a second time don't stop but it opened like ideas for me and that's why I like I said like oh I wonder because and I'll finish on this because you got shows and also I think I only get two drawings you might have a Premiere yeah no that's done but um sorry Chris sorry Chris I'd rather be here oh we'll see about the after party yeah but um the cost of five far Island you'll see even a documentary you see there's a there's a moment when I'm sitting down on the chair you know back like a cool teacher on a chair and I was doing this I had my gray hoodie on boom and I was doing this I had a nap I was getting my hands wrapped and I was like as I was getting my hands wrapped I was just like because well I slept well also [ __ ] hell fly Island why the [ __ ] would you do hey Ash fine Island why the [ __ ] would they do for Island on a race track on a [ __ ] race track at 2 A.M call the [ __ ] hotel tell them can you like what the [ __ ] is happening we have a like this fight was Thursday I'm weighing in tomorrow I have to win [ __ ] yeah like why and then they're like well apparently they're paying like 500 pages those are the girls outside the hotel bro yeah I put life for me I was like what the [ __ ] so it wasn't even that I slept well I still made it happen but then when I was on the thing I was just like getting my hands right off you know when you're just like you're driving your deadline so as I was like oh I stay awake and understand but then I thought no listen to your body listen to your body so then I had a nap I had a nap on the chair and then I don't know where I went it was some kind of like you know Lion King or black panther when he sees his dad that kind of scene remember who you are he goes it was something happened but I remember I woke up I felt like a sleeper agent I don't know if you know what that is but I felt like I woke up and I was just like I was in a different Zone and adapt all the boys up I was like let's go let's go I felt like I tapped into something else so that's why that fight happened you see even before the like uh before like before I walked out I told you she's like believe in me I do I believe in you I was like I bet because I said I believe myself but when people I give a [ __ ] about believe in me it's a wrap done so I felt like a sleep agent I said I stayed in the zone and I did what I did but it's something that I'm messing with those ideas I'm messing with because again that's learning still doing this still learning I'm still young and yeah I'm I'm gonna keep writing the story I'm gonna keep writing the story even after fighting this story is still being written until I'm done but we're gonna still watching it bro of course man my brother love you dogs I love you I love you the best the greatest story ever told everybody [Applause] wait how long was that two hours three hours 35 minutes
