UFC 245: The Anatomy of Kamaru Usman vs Colby Covington - The Movie

what's up with you man I do huh straining aah straining good you don't like Yuma grind I like your neck rind you ready I just got dog training to disrespect her disrespecting do you see this respect you nobody no don't listen brother i'ma tell you something about this game Kermit there is something about this game do you need to know this doesn't [ __ ] matter what are you gonna find in the card you find the same racism if it's the main event yes because there's $25,000 extra outside there who gives a [ __ ] because you're gonna go there beat up this guy and that it's no easy it's gonna be all big fights after that I go auntie that because you're gonna be six and oh and the UFC and there's nobody six and oh I believe you know I don't know I don't know if anybody have this winning streak outside would what did you think that referee is pretty taller oh wow that was sensational I told you Camaro Iceman is legit thought that dude is seriously talented standing up was a smart move yeah he could be the one that guy could be a legit world champion [Music] hard fight champ brother brother you can you can you can win his game we have no cameras oh no you can focus on yes you can focus on ever but do get his knees I was always I was always competitive but that's within your brothers when you have your brothers and and this one does something you want to do it better than him or if I'm doing something I know my little brother wants to do it better than me and my older brother doesn't like to be showed up at all so that was already kind of innate that was already inside me but once we got over here and we started to play these competitive team sports that's when I really started to find my competitive edge my competitive drive one of the biggest one of the biggest things for me that that kind of geared me away to find in wrestling was in football one thing that I I didn't like was you'd go to a football game and you would play this game and the team loses so if the team loses at that age you'll be in the locker room and everybody would kind of feel a certain type of way they're kind of talking under their breath and one guys rumbling and rumbly and the quarterback is saying oh man if the wide receiver had caught this ball we don't won the game the running back is saying oh man if this guy that fullback had blocked for me with a won the game the full-back is saying oh if this guy hadn't fumbled we don't won the game it was just everybody was blaming everybody and it seemed like for me to be successful in this sport I had to rely on 10 other guys so it's wrestling it was just me I put in the work I reaped the benefits of that now if I go out there and I lose I take that I know that ok I didn't work hard enough or I didn't know that I didn't know the rules enough or I didn't train the technique enough so I needed to do better so once I found that that was what just kind of shaped my competitive drive and competitive edge because I knew I was going to get out what I put into this I know my body's responding to don't eat away at these muscles I don't want you to check in any media stuff ready we got to do knock those out right now I would like to get out to the range at some point but some of these dogs you know why shoot some guns on Saturdays well they were gonna cut me and some of my tiny that I'm gonna come up with this character hey would you keep that character keep that stain I mean if we look at things that were scheming away things are gonna play out I asked for Damian my ID cat you know now you've got this loudmouth called the Covington that's Benedict came in and they given him to him so you know and people want to see that fight because he yeah he's read his mouth people want to see that fight so you know what I'm gonna go out I do my job and let's say he goes out he does his job with Demian Maia me and him have to fight for a title eliminator because there's no clear that guy right sitting out there we have to find me at home fight for the title eliminator which is the next guy who's gets that shot I can do better and this isn't the gold pac-10 championships it's one second ago but the main goal it's a national title and that's what I'm really that's the ultimate goal and that's what I'm really training for [Music] you know I just I just my offense he's worn out I just stayed on the matcha never you know I never got the Scourge they got taken down but it's okay you know we're gonna give up take downs but you stay on my offense and you just went over you know he was just dead tired I could die kind of send you know we smell blood you take it I think and I know it and and that's where my that's where I wrestle you know I like to just go go go I don't like to have a lot of downtown I just want to go I remember you know making that decision to go to this college it was like man you want to be athlete you gotta go to Division one man it's all about Division one it's all about this school and that's who and that's who it's all about the big name division 1 division 1 and I just remember I didn't even know there was a division to school I didn't even know there was a division three I didn't even know there was an anti or junior college all I knew was universities Texas as Division 1 and XI double a Penn State Iowa State Oregon State these are on the only schools that I heard of and then I started to kind of you know once that wasn't gonna work I wasn't gonna go into Texas because they didn't have a wrestling program I had to look elsewhere means I started getting letters from small schools small college here college here these are colleges and they have money for me and then once I went to William Penn University a small school I started realizing wow there's so many schools all across the country Division 1 2 3 n c-- double a's there's any eyes there's this junior college but the biggest thing that I took away from that it was and which was one of the reasons I got into wrestling is I was gonna get out what I put in how satisfying is it to do this in the state of Nebraska I mean yeah we are you know which is not main rival of what you know guys so they have now coming to Kearney from Texas you know when you first enrolled at Kearney what did you think was going to be your career as long as I put the work in and I invested the appropriate amount of time and I believed in myself enough it didn't matter what division that I was in I wasn't gonna let that define me I wasn't going to let the school that I was at the place that I was at at that moment define the limits that I could get to being with UFC over six years it gives your this opportunity to realize what potential these guys have to work for so it's pretty cool to be able to hold this one even though I put my time and it's not like these guys he's going to put the real hard work there's a big thing that a lot of people don't understand and not everybody gets this and it's it's the picture of vision a lot of people don't get that a lot of people don't understand vision and what that truly means a vision it can be something that you yourself can only see a lot of people not a lot of people are gonna see your vision there are some people that are gonna see your vision in life and those people are gonna chime in if we're gonna come in and they're gonna help but not everyone's gonna see the vision when you see the vision and you you you make that statement that's what I'm gonna be one day you already understand yourself that you can get there with the right amount of work you know that you're willing to do the work all you need is that opportunity large [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] I know where you stand just confirm which it will send shuttle to get you bringing here and then from your thing right to the t-mobile for everything else I may hate you about night it depends on how I feel maybe I'll have it set up just in case yeah last thing I'm long is you guys having to worry about at the morning yeah more we can take off you guys you know as long as they allow me to do it [Music] prejudicial initially we're gonna sign and date [Music] 12200 more way you do it excited for it get a couple of the flats [Music] let's go yes Monday we're dissing you boys I gotta worry about then if you're in committing murder you know nowadays there's a lot of different you know a lot of different narratives that's going on this isn't just back in the day where it's you know this is what you're working for to be this champion and once you're a champion you'll recognize you accept it and you're known as that champion nowadays we live in a very colorful world that to where and they want you to be brash and when you mean braggadocious they want you to be this savage guy but at the same time they want you to entertain them by the rubbish and all the extra curricular activities outside of what you're doing and that's not for me that wasn't necessarily what a champion is about you know that wasn't what I I didn't get into the game and say yes I'm that so I want to do all this I want to do that no I got it to become a champion I wanted to compete I wanted to be that guy to be the best at this sport and at the same time I have to go true to the values and the things that I have learned all through life because now I'm in a position to where I get to affect and influence millions all across the world and if that's the message that I want to put out is that the way that I got there then I have to portray that now we sit champagne when we Thursday I'm popping up on that big wall right there at the Palms you see you know it's another one over there I'm popping up on MG the first time I see one was when I was fighting RDA our Linton Texas out the rest wrassling and now we already headlined in Vegas I remember when it was three of us sleeping in the same bed me and my brothers you know one of us with the best she the other two and supper do that coming from somebody who also hears what you're saying like not getting that big shot like wow I'm good enough I'm doing this to people looking back at my own career I can only say dead legs I'm glad that they didn't give me that shot because what they ended up doing is giving me every miserable opponent until the title fight that I could have fought every specialist every badass in the division I had already cleared out the vision before I even got to the title so there was nobody to fight when I got to the belt because I'd already beaten everybody see you pretty much essentially cleaning out the division really I got no problem with any of it they fought that like I dye my hair to get above it I need nobody your mention really nothing I see pretenders no window are your bloody fool [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] boat is translucent why are you working your I'm sipping peaches in Prosecco while I'm watching you crash oh god oh god I need gains I finna take the reins I'm right up yo I always said this about c'mon we can like I said we can prepare him as best as we can the coaches training partners everything but I think it all comes down to komaru he's professional in and out the cage like you see him an hour before training warming up you know making sure his body's tip-top shape just he goes through all the little details a lot of people don't know he looks up to the big people or shot em and he calls Eddie Alvarez always for advice so he's always talking to people that have been there so he's always getting the blueprint from former champions and I think he holds himself so that same standards as those other champions you know I mean in an altercation that's what separates kymaro from everybody a lot of people I hear people do interviews that people say oh man you know I just want doing this for my legacy and for my I don't think about that like a lot of legacy is not something that you you're like hey I'm gonna stare this I'm gonna control this legacy if something that you leave after your body of work so that you don't be stole that on yourself you got a do you and then when you're done everyone looks back at what you did like that's your legacy and so I don't think about it I'm just doing me I'm doing me I'm doing me you know I'm taking it a day at a time a fight at a time you know any competition at a time when I'm set it done if people want to look back at how I competed and the heights that I reached it and then the things that I accomplished then people said continue oh man that's your legacy so yeah see some some guys and I feel like some guys put too much emphasis on that you know this is what I'm leaving this what I leave because at one point you could be high but you can also come crashing down the more emphasis you put on something you worship it that's where you're at and then when that's not there anymore people don't know how to cope or how to to transition and maneuvering is something else [Music] it's got a don't know where's Michael maybe at the VI right now at the food court by the best me before we got shining you know he's taking their time one two three four five like coach Laura said morning we're talking about you not being a sellout what a weird I think he's kinda gone in a panic because I kept the weight I'm so high yeah all through the difficult reigning champion it was just like one week go boom I went from a 92 92 93 to 84 oh [ __ ] if that skill is correct it's all just like the weight cut and the mental thing this week and and then once you rehydrate and get those everything value your life from Friday about 6 p.m. my wait [Music] chicken and a sweet potato and veggies and half sizes my head be a honey still ain't gonna be less at that point my place it gonna be bigger oh I'm doing it with no budget so what do you imagine what I have something I'm doing it I'm doing it with me wait I did a lot of interviews this week and and they're like man you're different everyone keeps saying this defending you're defending your defendant in this title no I'm not defending I'm fighting for a title I'm going back out there to win this title again when you start defending and I feel like this is kind of the place where if I had an advice for time Woodley and and where he was at in this transition I feel like this is kind of what he'd the role he fell into oh I got to protect this I gotta defend this I gotta protect this when you try to protect something you're on the defense you're not letting your office go anymore you're not being offensive you're not going out there to do what you do as well as you you do it you're going out there to just protect what you already have oh now I'm protecting this so you're safe you're dry you're closed off you're not as open and as fluent as you normally would have so I'm not going out there to defend I'm not defending I'm fighting for the UFC welterweight title again and I'm going out there to win it again Oh mostly questions from Twitter feel free to have fun with them some of them are about fighting some of their totally random like if the aliens came what would you do if you only had 24 hours left just try and have fun with it there's a lot of fans here and then for the last five or 10 minutes it will be media questions I mean I don't think anything much more than that you know just because his clown is running his mouth as much as you want he's worried about me I'm not worried about him he's the one who's talked all the [ __ ] in the world so now he has to go prove that the pressures on him I'm Chan not him he has to come out there and prove it but man I'm relaxed this is the fourth time this fight should I have actually fifth time this fight has been offered to him I've accepted every single one he has I might get by kymaro it's your time man [Applause] Floyd Mayweather didn't become Floyd Mayweather because he was always braggadocious talking this I got fifty cars I got fifty wives I got millions multi millions of dollars he didn't get to that because that's what he was doing from the start people forget Flo Mabel this guy that used to walk guys down flood mill where there was a dog in there flood men where there's a guy that went to the Olympics float this this is an individual that put in the work ever since he was a youth a child you can't amount for the amount of work that he's put in but he adapted I understand nowadays that they did you know the dynamic has changed but he adapted to where everyone forgets that aspects of it everyone just forgets and they think that all you just need to be money Mayweather show your money do this you get fifty card but no other way to put in that work to get to that point and I'm not forgetting that nowadays everybody sees that aspect that's all they they want to remember they don't want to do the work that's behind it but no I'm gonna tell the truth like I'm putting in the work I'm literally my body hurts for me training to get to to become the best in the world so kids have to understand that I'm not trying to sell them a movie I'm trying to let them know this is me this is real this is how I am hey next time you take pictures you know the thing about would be that I was saying for the last two years is that he has no cardio you just gotta push him and get his heart rate up and then you know he sucks he's like an amateur out there so you know what he has an easy game planet and and snooze Minh has he's even easier because he's already emotional he's already thinking irrationally doing stupid ass [ __ ] trying to attack me in the palms buffet line you know doing [ __ ] he's just gonna come out get himself knocked out so you know they're both easy matchups man it's a great time to be colby chaos covington because there's not a lot of hard matchups out there for me I I first I noticed covington I'd heard the name before I heard the name because he obviously he was roommates with John Jones for and was also on team with friends of mine Carrington Banks was also on the team with him at Iowa Central and so I heard the name before I heard him in the wrestling scene wrestling seems very very small with the elite the top guys so if a guy was tough enough to be an all-american you kind of knew who each other were so I heard his name for we had common opponents I'd beat guys that had beaten him or guys that he'd wrestled before so I I kind of knew of his name but then I also knew that he was fighting once I moved down in South Florida I could kind of hear cause big 88 et a team down there so you kind of hear names here things like that but we get into the sport now the name was offered to me early on in my career second professional fight I said yes he says no I ended up taking a guy on I think two weeks notice she sold short notice and I ended up losing which changed the course of my career forever and now fast forwarding on he gets into the UFC and I'm on the Ultimate Fighter of course I'm not paying attention I don't necessarily care I'm not I'm trying to get through my day-to-day get to where I'm at the level that I'm at but I known that I've heard that name before because that fight was offered to me so we're going through we're going through now I get in the rankings before he does now he starts to chatter about my name because he feels that he deserves that before me because he was in the UFC before I was so we're in the rankings we're in the ring I'm in the rankings and he's chattering he's chattering his chattering and I like I'm like okay of course I would fight I fight anybody I don't care because I have the vision of what I want to be I want to be the best so he doesn't matter who I fight bring him on I'll fight him so he's chattering he's chattering but the fights never happened and he's taken other fights to try to get around me but he's chattering because he felt that he deserved to be where I was at so he finally gets into the rankings I don't care it's not a problem so he's calling for fights certain fights and I'm taking the fights they're giving me I'm just taking my fights taking my fights taking my fights then he gets a break they give him dong-hyun Kim he goes over and beats Tommy on cam they put him ahead of me in the rankings I don't care at this point there's only 15 guys in that rankings so at this point you can kind of pick and choose and at that point I recognize that he's tough to deal with because he likes his smother guys he likes to grind push the pace you know and I'd do that as well you know but I know of the other skills that I possess that I can pull out of the tool box at any time if I need him but so I've already seen that I'm like okay he's tough I'm I fight I got one day but he had already been shattered and so this sport is real for me if you're gonna chatter we need to make it happen so we get another opportunity to fight him he says no because now he's already in the rankings he's ranked above me he's like no I'm not gonna fight him he's below me I'm not gonna fight potential hard fight kind of negate me utilizing my tools I'm not gonna do that so for the longest I'm begging for fights I'm begging for fights I understand he's a threat I don't care I'm willing to step in there and take on that chance but I don't think he was so here our careers progressed the way that it were I become champion before he does so now he's back in that situation too when he was above me he wouldn't say anything about me but now that I become above him oh yeah you're ducking me you're this now you listener the world publicly knows you turn down a fight with me we were offered the headlining spot you said no because you felt that you were ranked above me so you don't want to take that fight that's fine I fight another fight anyways and look we're out of that look how's faith has it I'm the champion you have to fight me I understand it's a tough fight but I don't care I'm willing to risk that in order to be great at something we're very blessed to be here you know God is good all the time just just keep working hard and you know just keep using all the tools God blessed us with you know to keep achieving these goals you know and just just keep just keep going forward you know life is about going forward and achieving and he's already achieved the first step now defending you know and then you keep defending them till you're tired of it you're tired you know so write blessed to be here we're ready to ready to put some work in ah [Music] we used to live in your crib treated like a little brother man so whenever you see me speak to make sure you speak to me I'll say yes ma'am this man's good to see you get on this picture man [Music] how are you sir the first time I ever seen that you want to see you fight we're at the same house carnies Chuck Liddell is fighting in Fort Dodge I only watched it at a house party this is kinda surreal and you know obviously with with with obviously with Michonne you know make it poking at me and I remember it's what I'm doing heavy rain out in my journals I remember what a night hey I tell you what if the UFC ever headlines a car in Africa hey get on who's gonna be front row and see me going first I may be on the car one that hey that'd be cool too congratulations congratulation Gretchen look at this suit though no I I've never felt this much disdain for a fighter before and I think it's just because he's not he's not most fighters understand and they respect that code of being a mixed martial artist and what martial arts the base is that it was built on most fighters have the respect most fighters have to discipline the most fun I have that honor and this is a young man that just doesn't have that and Saturday night December 14th it is my job to go in there and teach him that I'm expecting him to keep up the puck he's he wants to keep up that persona because for some reason came himself and some people some are thinking that he's getting to me for some reason and so he wants I think he wants to keep up that persona he's his chest I'll talk try to talk himself into the fight which bro we've been off of this five four times before and you've turned down every single one the only reason this fights happen is because I am the undisputed champion of the world had roles being reversed his fight wouldn't happen and so hey I'm expecting him to continue to try to talk himself into the fight he's ready but hey this is clockwork in here I've been there I've done this I do this that's why I'm the undisputed champion [Music] for media day I mean you know these things are like clockwork you know the UFC does a very very good job of organizing them and getting them to go through and work through it so I'm expecting it to just be normal I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna do my job and hey we're almost there I can't wait team - two days so I am excited and I can't wait to just be done with it all and get in there and have the referee you ready you ready yeah it's funny I've been around this so many times and you know everybody makes it look so easy I walk through spawn do it I watched all these guys do it and make the interviews look easy to make everything look easy and I'm like stuttering over my words I'm having to retake everything and oh it's taking some getting used to that's funny yeah you know you said it right this is such a short career and I trying to enjoy every moment oh man I've just been soaking it in you know four years ago I was in this exact hotel trying to Ultimate Fighter 205 edition and it would let me on because of my a criminal record and now I'm back here on the biggest a droopy card and I'm really soaking at the event I felt like my last fight I was so focused on the result and not just enjoying the whole process so I'm enjoying every minute of it the whole process is you know training your ass off not making much money trying to grind down sponsors you know a lot of times you know you don't have the supplies and the things you need once you get here man it's you know it changes everything changes but at the same time you got to take advantage of around you and just you know just enjoy in this whole process bro I love my LFA days and in my even local days you know those are dangerous fights because you lose a few of those you'll never make it through the UFC in a row you know so you know you just got to really focus on enjoying the process of it and not so focused on the product of just the UFC he'll come trust me fall in love with that process you gotta you gotta follow the process you got a got to stay consistent because if you you know if you're not in love with it it's hard to be consistent you know I mean it's it's easy for me to just wake up every day and train and workout because I love it you know me I love the grind I love waking up and pretty much killing myself to get better you know if you don't love that then you probably shouldn't do this sport because that's what you got to do that's the expectation you got a grind you got to be consistent you got to do it every day and take no breaks really every fight is pretty much do or die you don't I mean you you losing the sport is unforgiving you know and a loss hurts and I don't know how it feels losing UFC and I plan on not to to never feel that feeling just like his brother you know but uh I respect it because we were putting our pride we were putting everything on line we're fighting in front of millions of people on TV you know demand for them to judges essentially you know so they will always fighters will always get my respect unless they disrespect me then they might you might see a little bit more disrespect out of me but right now nobody disrespect me yet so full respect you got the hard part now the hardest part is the big weight cut so today we try to get as much as we can off and figure out the rest in the morning but tonight's the hard part you're gonna have to we know to do yeah Oh right there yes okay if the weight cut is just the worst day because you see you're finally going through a lot you know you see you fight of the whole campaign they're very healthy and they're good and then the day before they're a cranky and good luck with tomorrow it's good because you're a professional but I feel I like ten years and I'm doing this that's the workday and I really like white cards if I was them but I'm that demo we just go way up but that's easy because I'm a kickboxer wrestling is different but no it's not my favorite day and also I can't really work today I have not much to do it just hang around and I like to work so but let's get it over with and do fighting for it yeah ever since I've been working with tomorrow he shows up a fight week within one pound of the same way every single time the thing that speaks a lot is the dedication he has to his crap so it's a good routine and you know what it's gonna come off get ready to go he was fine so I didn't I mean under the toy no I hate I hate I hate out of the pasture like how do you record me and then get my attention to look up so you can get my face [Music] everything is God's Spirit is good is energy Energy's amazing we have some great people around where Francis we have a lot of good friends you know and it's been nothing but fun this week you know just we gotta go out there and compete on Saturday night that's you know and this man been competing for a long long time and this is what he does and you know I say see my brother defending is built for the first time and I certify itself as one of the greatest fighter of all the time just the welterweight champion out that way champion we're gonna certify yourself you know keep going forward undefeated undisputed welterweight champ I say all the [ __ ] is that Myra's [ __ ] amazing I see this guy coming to the gym back in the black Casillas I was just like a pure wrestling the know maybe he way of the very good they you eat like a and a time we thought like aw man this guy gonna do it but he was so hard-headed you know that they keep it going keep it pushin Illinois its amazed to see he's working acting I think I shot has a big role for him to know help him out a lot and mentally training and I'm so proud of him and like I being to him when the couple first fight support help him out a lot we make it a lot the wrong it was over my favorite favorite vegetable will help you out I also all my other went back to Japan ask him to just has such a good day me to do no good attitude it's also guy also athlete and he condition and he is no you he's one of the best Evers and right now he want to keep it the division for sure big trust really trust Congrats man sick sick feeling sickening in my mind because I know what I'm about to put my body through but I like it towards that when you come out on the other side of it like it it's like man I did that [ __ ] I did it because this is this is uh I would have to say of course I've never given birth but I would say this is probably what I'm about to feel tonight into tomorrow morning it's probably the worst pain that you two put your body in the position to where it could potentially died potentially stop working no when they do that to yourself it's something uh mentally strong done it time and time again it's a nice no different when you when you say wait cut people just like oh you're gonna go lose weight but they don't understand there's a science and a calculation through water and timing in the heat that it's way harder than when people give it credit for and you know most of you will go to the sauna and work out in there for five minutes and that's a you know workout we're we're training all the way up till weight cut night on how to handle the heat handle the concent in and out of the sauna and out of the bath that it's a science and it's art that only MMA fighters are good at painting it [Music] [Music] Hey he came a quarter was like now on sanity it's the core baby we've been doing this years I said it's a thing we can feel that inside what's in the 2.0 well he was the easiest way to say this they don't want to do what she goes through I this match so I got a bad shoulder you got a bad leg I'm [ __ ] with you you look good got a brotherly made the way professional this is what I do and I got it done now it's the fun part it's like all the things that were hurting all the things that were mentally in your mind that gone it's the craziest thing how that process of depletion and rehydration works but we've got it done asking to meet us in a parking lot [Music] this is north veterans right yes you have UFC bill Wow [ __ ] jump I'm just saying like did you even hear the feet you just it's like there was no you know let me stay on being or something jumped on it I own the beat that beats father I see [Music] [Music] how does dripping it I'm doing like something like that which I think might no you see I'm saying okay but you you want that dripping down on that I was gonna try to drip I don't think it's gonna work I just don't think it's gonna work right you know what I'm saying so you're looking at like kind of you know like they would use mud or different dirts and different things like this and that's kind of when I went on just to look like like a war paint and that's why I did a base of the white to make it look like this this that's really cool that you think about stuff like that going into it like just the different applying that needs that's a real my heart is touched she went to the history book for a body painting you understand they that's what she do he lofty okay not enough to say yeah I was just practicing for like Halloween if I could get rid of my eyeball it'd be perfect it would be so good located behind I wouldn't like to be [Music] [Applause] [Music] the difference in what we do is yes you can be an entertainer outside all you want to you can talk this you can talk that you can do whatever you want to do this is not WWE or its scripted okay this guy's gonna win so do your best you can to sell it this is not that this is real at some point they're gonna close that door lock it you're gonna realize I am locked in here this guy's physically going to try to hurt you and I need to defend myself all that talking doesn't matter all the fans does it matter all the millions and thousands of people that are you know DM and you yes you're gonna do this you're gonna do that yeah so we hate you or yes we're behind you that doesn't matter you have to deal with the one person and their spirit in the way that you've put them and so that's why a lot of people you say all Connery's should defeat his opponents because before he got in there with them because he was it was good at talking to them but there's then you're gonna run into that guy that you can't shake their spirit their secure with who they are they should care with what they put in like a bee he was secured through the whole time the whole camp the whole the whole press media tour leading up to that fight it was reserved he knew what he where his spirit was that he knew what he brought to the table and then he went out there in the executor he showed the world what it did the same thing here you could say whatever you want to say you can talk about my coaches you can talk about my managers former managers you know team owners you can talk about my family you can talk about me personally but at some point they're gonna shut that door they're gonna lock it and you're gonna be stuck in there with just me I'll use your spirit prepared to handle what you've already put out into the world [Music] yes this is it you know as always step on the scale do that face off it's all business from here can I have a nice dinner get refet but now our 100% mentally focus on going in there stepping in the ring tomorrow in the job done no fighter me he's so happy you don't like the mood was good man of course you know he's trying to talk trying to say they're just to try to hide the insecurities try to hide the fear of course there's a little bit of fear there but my fear is the fear of Ches animal it's a dangerous fear and then of course I'm watching him I'm watching him I'm watching him what he thought I wasn't watching he looked away boom let me know he was afraid more I'm just gonna capitalize on that fear this lion hits you in the mouth [Music] December 14th that that's a that's a very special date because it means I mean so much when I reflect on everything I remember sitting having an interview on anatomy of a fighter the week of contouring to be and this service is a big one this is something that as a prizefighter you can only ever dream love and that's getting all of the elements all the components do to cross paths and that's you know with the animosity with the payday you know and just the magnitude of it you know all of it just some wine it's very rare to where you get a fight like this obviously for me phrase you know Eileen Frasier those work there's a megadose things that you remember forever and this is gonna be one of those fights the party talking about it the greatest fight in the history of the UFC biggest fun so it's very rare that all of the stars in line and right now khabib is living there so we just can't wait fight time put the rest of it and I remember talking about the magnitude of that situation in that fight and what it meant and I said at that point I remember thinking this is what fighters only dream of is being able to have the stars aligned to where you have that flow that that guy who is the heel or who is that that debt that perfect dance partner that brings everything out that raises all the eyebrows and that people want to see this fight you have that guy who could potentially pushing who could potentially defeat you that people are geared up people are amped up to see what you can do against this guy I remember watching it with khabib and Connor with with Connor pushing all the right buttons saying all the things he needed to say as an entertainer to get fans behind it to get all of the people riled up to ruffle some feathers to try to potentially piss off his opponent and I remember what I said it's that's what we always that's something we only dream of happening and now I'm in that situation to where you've got the right dance partner this is a fight that I've asked for for a long time that I've wanted for a long time that's been offered to me for a few times but it just seemed like something was off the stars just wanted a line and it didn't happen but now it's gonna happen December 14th this is the culmination of all the hard work all everything that I've always dreamed of becoming the champion have I not been that had I not been the champion who cares no one cares about this had he not continued to do his jobs fighting those other fights none of this would happen stars alive and on December 14th and the biggest stage of the world and fight capital of the world Las Vegas Nevada we get to settle it as a pay-per-view main event that's only something that you dream of as a child and I'm gonna be able to step in there to achieve that goal [Music] both unbeatable at featherweight so miss the Challenger was prepared they said we can and now I just gotta go on autopilot and then my body do what it's programmed to do you know put all the work in tired of the time and time again not enough nuts to say you did all the talking now it's time for me to go do the talking in the cage [Music] wide open darkness closing to stay focus I'm not I'll have sent you cuz I'm just too dangerous some dangerous let's be honest say no contest I think those comments for my concept from the get-go I just get so dangerous so dangerous as professionals that actually are in the sport we understand the intricate details that goes into preparing for these fights we understand how much it sucks to be choked unconscious we understand how bad it hurts to be hit hard with the accurate proper punch we understand how defeating and how mentally just just degradation it is for a man to physically hold you down take you down hold you down and there's nothing you can do about it he's a problem you know stuff that he doesn't like that's what I worked on I was actually gonna track him with it for a cake we were just literally planning this right here I wanted to go to that body kick yeah he hit him with it not me and get those hands to drop as Mike likes to drop his hands when he moves he's super explosive now dropping he'll come forward I'm gonna hit him with that body can give me something to think about drop the hands and I told you just run your offense and you see it take it and he saw a new ticket much respected by the man and he's a dog you know he's one of the Warriors like he he is the epitome of a fighter you know so uh marriage back Pam I mean look you know in this sport it's all about performances you know it took the chance to get the ten and uh before you got a shot so we just got to pay our dues man and just paintings news right now you know it's a shark shark-infested water Taylor there's just no Joe so we're just gonna take it five by five and do what we need to do and get him prepared and it's just great to see him execute like that at that level you know you did a Camacho fight he did it again here his timing being able to uncork those weapons is special you know he's so powerful and explosive from all that strength work coach Mike's geisha he's putting that in three days a week and it's really starting to come out so I'm just proud of them you know when you see one of your kids work hard you want to see him get to reward and he's continuing to do that five no I've been I've been grinding off for the past ever since I got the UFC you don't mean it kind of lit a fire in my hand me because I'm fighting you know me some dogs you know like everybody knew UFC especially where division you know so uh I'm gonna take a little break but then I'm gonna hit it back even harder when I get down with the break [Applause] [Music] just a couple of things on we said last time so the fight if I'd only visited it will but if the fight gets [ __ ] it is a stalemate standing on the ground I'm never gonna come in and take the position away with a minimum of two warnings if you're trying to let's say you're if he's standing he said that you are the first person that he's ever had ill-will towards how do you sort of take that do you sort of feel like you've in this short amount of time been able to get into his head do you think that's potentially to advantage for you there's no doubt about it it's an advantage you know he's already thinking speaking and acting emotionally you know I don't speak I don't have a motion today if you guys know me and know what I'm all about is that I don't give a [ __ ] about your I say how I feel this is the fight business I'm also not you know a lot of these guys they're just trying to make friends with everybody UFC they should be called the ultimate French championship because that's what everybody's tried you I'm here to do business I'm here to make money and next time I play I'm here to punch a hole at mother [ __ ] party students in space this guy is just uh I think the character that he's put out into the world I just I can't be associated Oh being the same vicinity with that guy and be okay with that kind of pollution it's pollution to my mind is pollution to the spirit as pollution energy just being around and the worst part is we understand that it's an act but he's sold out of it to where he doesn't care his main motivation is wanting to be famous one to be known the way he doesn't care and I something's just something about that that just makes my skin crawl to where I just can't I can't we can't mesh and let's be honest this is this only big fight because I made it a big fight I could care less about this fight the only reason I'm taking this fight it's because Dan Lambert wants his fight I'm Dan Lambert's professional hitman I know you gave blood a heart attack for all those years you were you're a duck with me so don't worry he'll be watching from Hell on December 14th you know he's taking my sloppy seconds I beat everybody EB but I beat him before he beat him so he had to come pick up the carcasses off the dead bodies that I left so you know he's not pressive he sucks in fighting and December 14 the unexposed let's go let's go let's go let's go oh man hey this one is not just for me this one's for the whole entire world right now oh my god what a dirty fight me they were we're getting this fights getting stopped for low bones let's go this fights getting stopped for I post going in both direction this was an absolute mess then it gets disclosed to the audience Kobe says hey Maura broke broke my junk Kobe's jaw was broke he says this to his corner comes out there keeps fighting the one thing that Kumar does so well he can reset and he can recompose himself if he's gonna recompose himself 20 times in a night hillary compose himself 2010 and i could almost see some of his reset buttons right before the ref trims him out when he gets off the stool I could salmon he does this body language and you can see when he's doing this he's actually resetting his mind I thought Kobe gets a lot of credit for that too I mean these guys came out real early and found out hey our wrestling is probably gonna be a wash it's gonna be too much energy to try to take you down and fail let's just go fisticuffs I thought was an awesome fight I really felt I really felt going in the fifth round this is the round we're dead even this is my little big brother Mohammed right here earlier this year in July we went how family went through a great tragedy my brother lost his son right drowning and it's been an emotional time for us but hey he's naturally baby now she might be gone but you're not forgotten your daddy and your uncle we're gonna keep fighting in your honor each and every time we love you baby now [Applause] [Music] chuckling this is born chuckling I'm happy thank you Jesus and everything to stay focusing and doing what he did was amazing and also still getting better he didn't there was no wrestling we're striking and you had a beautiful jab and he finished them up very nice yeah it's great it was a great fight as you can hear my voice a little gone but that's all the ladies in these fights but it was very proud it's mentally and he's mentally and discipline is the best guy the reason we were happy that these are wonderful team captains so I was very happy when he's he did what he had to do and he finished that fight beautifully it was really special to see him go out there and get get it done the way you did forget about all the talks behind it I was just proud to see him staying with it as a champ and show up and shine when he's needed to shine she did like a champion a true champion does you know so that's in it's it's emotional no no she was 16 years old and I never thought for a minute I would someday sit in the corner watching this kid getting punched in the face needing someone to be honest I thought is gonna go on like he didn't call it's become Olympian because he always loved wrestling and he always had a good work ethic and good head on his shoulder so it's a special man personally for all of us everyone everyone showed up for him with love this was display of love we went in for love because we love what we do whatever it was over there it doesn't matter you know so I don't think anything in this award wins over love I'm proud of him and I love him hey baby I told her you know these guys don't understand when I tell him himself made I got dogged determination that these guys can't stick where these guys can hang these guys don't understand yes I might not be the best wrestler might not be the best striker the best grappler when it comes to put it all together with the heart right now none of these guys can touch me they talk about all you're not not really the charity you defended what they're gonna say now I guarantee they're gonna say something new next week don't matter keep defending what last round last minute can't finish the chapter better than that Amanda champ for a reason careful what you ask for I tell you tomorrow he's gonna deliver baby I'm not gonna say anything about tomorrow says he's the greatest Walter worth of all the time he might be one of the best greatest fighter he ever seen great fight a lot of emotion when he composed himself Robert every big Robert anyway we were simple because we're gonna put everything into it this is not about it's about just just it was a little bit personal and shouldn't be personal but this fight was personal Kabhi one corner was personal don't get personal because we are together very very very very loyal to each other even guys fighting each other's they're loyal to each other's you know I said it's part of the game we move on we'll lose some we win some and we just keep walking in they were sparring in a rest for the singlet [Music] [Music] [Laughter] okay you know there's a lot but it's what chance to get the job done go to the after-party [Music] [Music]

Thank you for the repost as my other one was taking down due to self promotion. I thought after doing a AMA reddit, I could be allowed to simply post links to my work. But thats for the repost. Its important for people to see these kind of films for fighters.

18 minutes in and I've seen Ali just as much as Usman. Dude, just stay behind the scenes and give your client the shine.
