Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, guys, it's time for my Roe Sparks Performance
Playbook for the co main event, Morob Dwallas Willie versus
Corey Sanahagan. For mo Rob, he has got to score takedowns.
You guys know that when Morob is winning, he is
scoring takedowns, he's pressuring, he is putting it on guys.
If he can do that, guys can't keep up with him.
We have seen it time and time again, and Sanagan
(00:25):
will struggle in that same way. And for Sanagan it's
about defending takedowns. But to do that he needs to
be constantly emotion He cannot be a stationary target. For
Morob goes forward so much that if you're standing there,
you will struggle. Sanagan has great footwork. He needs to
use that to stay upright and use that beautiful striking. Guys,
(00:46):
that is my Role Sparks Performance Playbook. If you want
Roe Sparks, no waiting room, get it virtually. It is
about as easy as you can get to boost your
performance in the bedroom. So go to Road Dot Co
slash DCTV to start today.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Road Sparks been winning baby, and we're gonna get a
winner this weekend. At UFC three to twenty.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Guys Cory sand Haggen challenges for the Banding Weight Championship
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Thanks for checking in with me. We haven't done this
since Florida.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
But you know, like back in the day, you and I,
like you're texted me and like we were talking. You're like, hey, man,
I could tell like you're you're like a nice guy,
and we started talking, became friends a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
We went through all this darkness.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
But you're like young young guy right making his way
and about to be a champion, and you're very appreciative
of everything, and you might have had some money, but
you you weren't a millionaire. But there was a story
that came out that said you were a millionaire now
because you're selling pictures of your balls.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Come on, Corey, you know you ain't.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You ain't selling pictures of your balls and making a
million dollars your little balls showing, son of a bitch.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I don't believe that. First.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I don't think you're showing your balls, And I don't
think that anybody's paying a million.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Dollars four.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
You're probably I don't think that they would. But I
ran this idea by my wife when that went viral?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Why did that go viral?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I just made a joke and I just and then
people thought it was real, but serious journalists like made
articles about it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It was unbelievable. So this is not true. Of course,
I asked this dude.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I was like, you think he's really showing that.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
This is why I don't joke. This is why I
don't talk. You want to know why.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You know you want to know why.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Because you say I can see like could be like Corey,
the worst shit happened in history and you're like, yeah, man,
that sucks really bad. And you're like Corey, You're like, man,
I had the greatest practice of tell a joke, and
your face will still be like this.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
There's no differences, Like you don't laugh, you're not laughing,
Like your face stays like that.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
That's why I kinda stare at you.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I'm like, what's he thinking? But that's why. So it's
like it felt real. Well your wife would kill you.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, but oh, this is what we were gonna do though,
is I was gonna I asked her if I could
do it by behind a paywall of like one hundred
thousand dollars, and I was like, if.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Someone fire, but if like, imagine, no one would pay
that much. I'm not that delusional. I know that that's true.
But if someone did one hundred thousand dollars, one hundred
thousand dollars is like flattering.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
If you were to get one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That you have to grab your balls from the back
and lean over, you'd be like showing.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That ass one hundred thousand dollars, He's showing the whole thing.
Or no, Corey, Corey.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
You probably for the UFC mandab Wely Championship this weekend.
All jokes aside. Man, it's been a long road. How
good is it field to finally be here?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, it feels good. I'm really focused for this one.
I feel really good about it. Morob's definitely the toughest
guy that I fought, but it's the most confident that
I've been and I feel like this camp in the
last couple or definitely in the last year. I think
I've made strides, man, and I'm excited to show that
to people.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
But why what have you done differently to make those strides?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, I mean I think a piece of it's just
me and me being mature. A big piece of it though,
is like really handing off the reins to my two coaches,
Carrington Banks and Trevor Whitman, and just letting them mold
me into the fighter that I am. I think that
when you're like a creative guy and you're a fighter,
or just in general, I think it's really hard to like,
you get too close to your work and you can't
really see what you need, and that's what you need
(04:39):
other really good people for. And those guys I've kind
of handed off the reins and they've molded me into
something really really good, and I'm really pumped to show
it because I feel like it's also a style that
or just a way of fighting that I feel like
is just much different than how I usually do it.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
And yeah, I'm done talking.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
That was one of those you just did it again?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Did you catch yourself though? Do you understand what I mean? Yeah,
you're right, you get it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Like it's okay though, right, You're we're still building into
this media career that you and I have started together.
I watch Carrington and Trevor and those guys and there
they seem like proud, but they're listening because I feel
you just said you're a very creative guy.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Your style.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You got coaches, but obviously you developed that style. It
feels like those coaches though while they are coaching and guiding,
you still can appreciate what you bring in terms of
a mind to fighting. Because I watched him, and I
watch how they interact with you. They're well, that's me,
that's not do. But I'm watching Trevor them and they're
(05:46):
kind of going yep, and they're smiling and they're like yep,
because they know that you're smart and that in order
and if they cut you off right they take away
with makes Cory Sanagan so unique, then you're not really
going to be as good as you can be.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It seems from the outside looking.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
In, it's a collaboration more then you know, obviously you
hand over the rais, but they're collaborating with you to
to bring this product to the world.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I think so, but kind of a little bit, but
not really like those these guys are good, man, They're
very good. Like Trevor has like made a lot of champions.
He's like, I can trust that dude to be like,
he's not gonna take away any of what I got
he's just going to add on to it. Banks is
the same Banks like you know wrestling, Like wrestling, most
of you.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Guys start when you guys are five.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
If you're if you don't have like the already built
in just nuanced things like where to put your weight
in certain spots, how to do certain things certain ways,
it's really really.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Hard to learn that later.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And Banks is one of the hardest workers I've ever met.
And we just like wrestle three four times a week,
just me and him just going at it, and it's like, uh,
I get to learn all of those things instead of
like some coaches would just show you a move and
be like, go do the movie, you know, and that's
not how wrestling works.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know that.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, So just working with him is just skyrocketed, man.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Especially when you're trying to add in those little feels,
because if you haven't rustled Joe life, you don't have that.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Feel in certain situations. Corey. So when I think about
Morob Dwallas Willie, he's.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
A guy that goes really hard, right, He's got it's
known for his cardio, but there's no way to fight
twenty five minutes and not be fatigued. Morob is mastered
being fatigued but not showing it when you're preparing. Are
you watching in some of those fights where he looks
like he can fight for an hour and go he's tired?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
There, I can tell he's tired. There is anybody picking.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Up on that, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I mean my coach Carrington brought that up. He was like, hey, man, like,
just to be clear, this whole narrative around Morob being
an absolute animal and having the best cardio on planet
Earth is is not real. Like that dude gets tired
the same way other people get tired.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
But it's just body language.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, And Morob's a tough dude and he's super dedicated
to the sport and he's just about it, you know,
Like you can tell when some fighters are like, I
don't really know why you're here and why you're not.
Morob's here, I think to be the best in the
world and to at least strive for that. And those
types of guys they hide their body language. They're tough,
(08:19):
they're real good, but he's not invincible.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well you do that too, You do a good job
of not seeming fatigued inside the octagon all right, guys,

In Indiana, if you are someone you know has a
gambling problem and wants help, call one eight hundred and
nine with it. And if you have a gambling problem,
call one eight hundred gambler. Were you surprised at how
easily he got through Sean O'Malley in that last fight.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Not really, to be honest, I think that.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I mean O'Malley sat for the first three months because
he had to get surgery after that fight. You know,
he didn't really get to train for that entire three months.
And Mob's a workhorse, like I guarantee you when he
loses on Saturday, on Monday, he's going to be in
the gym still where yeah, you know, and so so no,
I think that Morob will always incrementally get better. And
(10:31):
I don't know that I can say the same for
when you're hurt.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You know, is your style because of the movement going
to make it harder for him to track you, because
that's one thing that you present that not many of
his opponents have. Is that ability to be in out
left right, moving, pivoting, turning, rotating and moving him. Most
guys can't do that.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I built a style around that
for sure. I also have a lot of other things
that I'm going to show in this fight that people
haven't seen. And yeah, I mean it's really hard to
take down someone that moves that much. Yeah, well, yeah
it's super hard. It's really annoying. But uh but yeah,
it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I don't want I just.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Don't want to say too much. Yeah, like what it
is and I'm doing or whatever, because it's a big fight.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And I'm definitely putting this out. This is not good.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
The stuff we talk about upstairs stays till we get
you getting the oct on. This sure is going right
on the internet. So that's my disclaimer. So you go
and slip up. That's on you. But you have to
worry about you. You can't worry about what Morob does.
But in worrying about you, right, how are you judging
(11:36):
your preparation? How are you judging like how how are
you taking? No, how are you taking how you tracking
your improvements? Like when you go home at night and
you lay next to your wife and you go to
bed and you close your eyes, do you sit and
you visualize and go, Man, I have done every single
thing necessary to win this fight.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I also like to where I am mentally, Like before
it was like I just viewed the sport really technical,
like if I do if I have better shit than
this other guy, then I'll win as long as I
do it at the right time. But for this one
and the last couple camps, it's been about breaking everyone.
And I really like that mentality and I think that
it's really going to carry over and help in this one.
(12:19):
But it's just like a different level that I've hit
where I feel like now when I go spar with guys,
it's not like, let me do good stuff, Like now
it's like I'm gonna break this person and he maybe
has two rounds in him if he's lucky, but after that,
like I'm gonna tear him apart.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
How many guys are going through sparns with you? If
you're doing five rounds, There's no way one guy's doing
five rounds with you.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Oh no, no, no, no, get I get a new partner
every time I go rounds all the way up to
eight rounds.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You do eight rounds of sparn.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's like my really hell week and
then the two before that or seven round weeks.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
So yeah, it's a.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Lot of sparn. I get really tired. I feel like
crying after.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, it's exhausting.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
When you Corey, if you become the world champion, what
will that mean to Corey san Haigan? Like, have you
allowed for yourself to live that right, to visualize that,
to put yourself into the mobile arena Dana White wrapping
the belt around you and new bandon weight world champion?
Have you allowed for yourself to experience that so that
(13:19):
when you experience it on Saturday night you get that
warm feeling of Man, I've been here before.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I deserve this.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I mean I've thought about it every day for the
last since I got the phone call, you know. But
more than that, man, I see this just as one
step on the ladder, like I know, for in order
for me to be viewed the way that I want
to in my career, I got to go out in
twenty twenty six and beat Umar, beat you on, and
beat O Mallley so that's my plan after this one
and Marob and winning a belt is important to me,
(13:50):
but so is everything else that comes afterwards too, And
I'm pumped for it.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
What really excited me about fighting Morob is one he
has so much like attention around.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, people love him too.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I was like, oh, so it's not too late for
me to still create this legacy because Rob's beaten guys
that I haven't beaten.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
So I go out and beat my Rob, and I
my stock can just jump through the roof. And that's
what I plan on having it.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
It's the most important fight in abandam weight division to
beat him at this stage because of the domination he's
had over the division for a long time, in the
momentum that he has right now. Your ability to look
at that though, like with a clear mind. It speaks
to what I talk about when you and I were
just we speak and I tell you how you're a
smart person that could be an analyst. It's like you
(14:34):
can step outside of yourself and recognize how much more
important it is than just that championship.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I mean I think a lot in the future anyways,
But yeah, man, I mean I don't think the belt
is gonna give me a little bit of a bigger head.
But I really see it as like the work isn't
gonna like this shit is not gonna get any easier
until I hang up the gloves and I'm all done.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, So I don't.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I'm not like getting ahead of myself is like, oh,
this is the end, this is when I do it,
you know, like this is, uh, the work is really
going to start when I win this thing.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, it's a big time moment for you Saturday night.
You have an opportunity to become a UFC champion. I
hope that you and your family have a taken account
of what you're in store for, and it feels like
you haven't take You've added no pressure on yourself to
go in and try to chase down an outcome or
have an outcome in a certain way.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
And that's to be commended.
Speaker 4 (15:27):

But why what have you done differently to make those strides?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, I mean I think a piece of it's just
me and me being mature. A big piece of it though,
is like really handing off the reins to my two coaches,
Carrington Banks and Trevor Whitman, and just letting them mold
me into the fighter that I am. I think that
when you're like a creative guy and you're a fighter,
or just in general, I think it's really hard to like,
you get too close to your work and you can't
really see what you need, and that's what you need
(04:39):
other really good people for. And those guys I've kind
of handed off the reins and they've molded me into
something really really good, and I'm really pumped to show
it because I feel like it's also a style that
or just a way of fighting that I feel like
is just much different than how I usually do it.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
And yeah, I'm done talking.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
That was one of those you just did it again?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Did you catch yourself though? Do you understand what I mean? Yeah,
you're right, you get it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Like it's okay though, right, You're we're still building into
this media career that you and I have started together.
I watch Carrington and Trevor and those guys and there
they seem like proud, but they're listening because I feel
you just said you're a very creative guy.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Your style.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You got coaches, but obviously you developed that style. It
feels like those coaches though while they are coaching and guiding,
you still can appreciate what you bring in terms of
a mind to fighting. Because I watched him, and I
watch how they interact with you. They're well, that's me,
that's not do. But I'm watching Trevor them and they're
(05:46):
kind of going yep, and they're smiling and they're like yep,
because they know that you're smart and that in order
and if they cut you off right they take away
with makes Cory Sanagan so unique, then you're not really
going to be as good as you can be.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It seems from the outside looking.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
In, it's a collaboration more then you know, obviously you
hand over the rais, but they're collaborating with you to
to bring this product to the world.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I think so, but kind of a little bit, but
not really like those these guys are good, man, They're
very good. Like Trevor has like made a lot of champions.
He's like, I can trust that dude to be like,
he's not gonna take away any of what I got
he's just going to add on to it. Banks is
the same Banks like you know wrestling, Like wrestling, most
of you.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Guys start when you guys are five.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
If you're if you don't have like the already built
in just nuanced things like where to put your weight
in certain spots, how to do certain things certain ways,
it's really really.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Hard to learn that later.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And Banks is one of the hardest workers I've ever met.
And we just like wrestle three four times a week,
just me and him just going at it, and it's like, uh,
I get to learn all of those things instead of
like some coaches would just show you a move and
be like, go do the movie, you know, and that's
not how wrestling works.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know that.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, So just working with him is just skyrocketed, man.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Especially when you're trying to add in those little feels,
because if you haven't rustled Joe life, you don't have that.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Feel in certain situations. Corey. So when I think about
Morob Dwallas Willie, he's.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
A guy that goes really hard, right, He's got it's
known for his cardio, but there's no way to fight
twenty five minutes and not be fatigued. Morob is mastered
being fatigued but not showing it when you're preparing. Are
you watching in some of those fights where he looks
like he can fight for an hour and go he's tired?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
There, I can tell he's tired. There is anybody picking.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Up on that, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I mean my coach Carrington brought that up. He was like, hey, man, like,
just to be clear, this whole narrative around Morob being
an absolute animal and having the best cardio on planet
Earth is is not real. Like that dude gets tired
the same way other people get tired.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
But it's just body language.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, And Morob's a tough dude and he's super dedicated
to the sport and he's just about it, you know,
Like you can tell when some fighters are like, I
don't really know why you're here and why you're not.
Morob's here, I think to be the best in the
world and to at least strive for that. And those
types of guys they hide their body language. They're tough,
(08:19):
they're real good, but he's not invincible.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well you do that too, You do a good job
of not seeming fatigued inside the octagon all right, guys,

gambling problem and wants help, call one eight hundred and
nine with it. And if you have a gambling problem,
call one eight hundred gambler. Were you surprised at how
easily he got through Sean O'Malley in that last fight.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Not really, to be honest, I think that.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I mean O'Malley sat for the first three months because
he had to get surgery after that fight. You know,
he didn't really get to train for that entire three months.
And Mob's a workhorse, like I guarantee you when he
loses on Saturday, on Monday, he's going to be in
the gym still where yeah, you know, and so so no,
I think that Morob will always incrementally get better. And
(10:31):
I don't know that I can say the same for
when you're hurt.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You know, is your style because of the movement going
to make it harder for him to track you, because
that's one thing that you present that not many of
his opponents have. Is that ability to be in out
left right, moving, pivoting, turning, rotating and moving him. Most
guys can't do that.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I built a style around that
for sure. I also have a lot of other things
that I'm going to show in this fight that people
haven't seen. And yeah, I mean it's really hard to
take down someone that moves that much. Yeah, well, yeah
it's super hard. It's really annoying. But uh but yeah,
it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I don't want I just.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Don't want to say too much. Yeah, like what it
is and I'm doing or whatever, because it's a big fight.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And I'm definitely putting this out. This is not good.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
The stuff we talk about upstairs stays till we get
you getting the oct on. This sure is going right
on the internet. So that's my disclaimer. So you go
and slip up. That's on you. But you have to
worry about you. You can't worry about what Morob does.
But in worrying about you, right, how are you judging
(11:36):
your preparation? How are you judging like how how are
you taking? No, how are you taking how you tracking
your improvements? Like when you go home at night and
you lay next to your wife and you go to
bed and you close your eyes, do you sit and
you visualize and go, Man, I have done every single
thing necessary to win this fight.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I also like to where I am mentally, Like before
it was like I just viewed the sport really technical,
like if I do if I have better shit than
this other guy, then I'll win as long as I
do it at the right time. But for this one
and the last couple camps, it's been about breaking everyone.
And I really like that mentality and I think that
it's really going to carry over and help in this one.
(12:19):
But it's just like a different level that I've hit
where I feel like now when I go spar with guys,
it's not like, let me do good stuff, Like now
it's like I'm gonna break this person and he maybe
has two rounds in him if he's lucky, but after that,
like I'm gonna tear him apart.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
How many guys are going through sparns with you? If
you're doing five rounds, There's no way one guy's doing
five rounds with you.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Oh no, no, no, no, get I get a new partner
every time I go rounds all the way up to
eight rounds.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You do eight rounds of sparn.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's like my really hell week and
then the two before that or seven round weeks.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
So yeah, it's a.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Lot of sparn. I get really tired. I feel like
crying after.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, it's exhausting.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
When you Corey, if you become the world champion, what
will that mean to Corey san Haigan? Like, have you
allowed for yourself to live that right, to visualize that,
to put yourself into the mobile arena Dana White wrapping
the belt around you and new bandon weight world champion?
Have you allowed for yourself to experience that so that
(13:19):
when you experience it on Saturday night you get that
warm feeling of Man, I've been here before.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I deserve this.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I mean I've thought about it every day for the
last since I got the phone call, you know. But
more than that, man, I see this just as one
step on the ladder, like I know, for in order
for me to be viewed the way that I want
to in my career, I got to go out in
twenty twenty six and beat Umar, beat you on, and
beat O Mallley so that's my plan after this one
and Marob and winning a belt is important to me,
(13:50):
but so is everything else that comes afterwards too, And
I'm pumped for it.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
What really excited me about fighting Morob is one he
has so much like attention around.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, people love him too.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I was like, oh, so it's not too late for
me to still create this legacy because Rob's beaten guys
that I haven't beaten.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
So I go out and beat my Rob, and I
my stock can just jump through the roof. And that's
what I plan on having it.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
It's the most important fight in abandam weight division to
beat him at this stage because of the domination he's
had over the division for a long time, in the
momentum that he has right now. Your ability to look
at that though, like with a clear mind. It speaks
to what I talk about when you and I were
just we speak and I tell you how you're a
smart person that could be an analyst. It's like you
(14:34):
can step outside of yourself and recognize how much more
important it is than just that championship.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I mean I think a lot in the future anyways,
But yeah, man, I mean I don't think the belt
is gonna give me a little bit of a bigger head.
But I really see it as like the work isn't
gonna like this shit is not gonna get any easier
until I hang up the gloves and I'm all done.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, So I don't.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I'm not like getting ahead of myself is like, oh,
this is the end, this is when I do it,
you know, like this is, uh, the work is really
going to start when I win this thing.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, it's a big time moment for you Saturday night.
You have an opportunity to become a UFC champion. I
hope that you and your family have a taken account
of what you're in store for, and it feels like
you haven't take You've added no pressure on yourself to
go in and try to chase down an outcome or
have an outcome in a certain way.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
And that's to be commended.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yep.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
