Speaker 4 (02:17):
I like to know what I mean, Because y'all had
some they had some stuff earlier. It was it said
pulled pork with barbecue sauce. But it wasn't even like
pink or red. Barbecue sauce is like a red color.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It was white. Looked like, man, y'all got going on.
I ain't pork, So you don't eat pork? Is like
it is good? Yeah? I heard it is good. Shit,
it is good.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
But I mean that's why you look like you look
because you eat pork.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You don't eat pork, and I did.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
All right, guy, So I'm here in Manchester for your
championship fight.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
You and I have spent time together before in the gym. Obviously,
we've known each other for a long time. You know,
as brought to my attention recently. I never knew this
when when you were at with us trading the golden as.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
We have some hard days.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Islam said that the first sparing session he had off
the plane was you.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
No, he told me that his first sparing session off
the plane when he got to a k his first day,
they told me he's gonna spart the cage with a
really high level striker.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It was you. I can't remember. Nine years ago.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
It was a long time exactly, so I can't.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Remember, but that that's like a bit of like history, right,
like that's crazy crazy look at you to.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Now, But think it's telling to like the gyms Aka.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
At the time, you guys were so young, we were
all the guys at the top.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You guys so younger. Now, Yeah, it's for six days
things were. It's mad.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
But like I said at the times, the honor to
be around that environment. I mean, oh you guys there
and but far to Spargo.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I think that's a few people I can't remember.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I remember the first day get stayed with him though
ye must have made the impact yet, right, But Muhammad, Right,
we talked about the elevated incident, but the fight itself.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
When you look at the fight, all you really have
to go on is the first round. You heard him
real bad, right, and you're not a guy that starts
really fast. What are you expecting this weekend?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I'm similar just carrying on from from round one going forward.
And I'm alway sudden for him. But what what could
be his gampaign?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Right? Isn't commanding problem rest more probably.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Face beat wrestlers done the al Muhammad you know, And
I felt his strengthen the claim I felt his range.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Was he strong? Did he feel strong? He really not? Not.
I haven't fount before, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
So ill constantly wh it brings to the table different
from the first fight. He hasn't proved a little bit,
but not. I don't think he's improved enough to win
the fight.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
You know, I asked him the same question. I got
to ask you this. Two guys fight, right, It's not
just fought like.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Tom Curtis, Tim and Curtis well fifteen seconds.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
You guys foughtund five minutes and then into the second round.
But it seems like, and I have to say this,
I said to people, I hope Leon doesn't expect the
same guy he met before now I hope the law
doesn't expect the same guy because you guys are both
so much better than But it seems like you have
less respect for him today than you did then. Is
that because you feel like you've improved more or you
(05:23):
just don't appreciate.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
His skills because he's much better looking what he did
to go birds?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, but give up was injured in the fight, you
know what I mean? That's that's they're fighting like a
Hoffman there and Luka, look at Lucas at nine his career,
you know what I mean? So he has improved. Like
I said, I'm not deleted. You know, I'm taking this
fight serious. And I know I know you guys improved,
But I don't feel like he's improved. You know, you know,
I feel like skill for skill, I'm just a bad guy,
(05:49):
you know.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And that's what's it.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You know, you guys now seem to have bad blood.
Where did it come from?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Because now it's but it's very like it's it seems
very like, yeah, I don't know. You have to ask
him for me.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
It's so like band room, just like whatever, you know
what I mean. For him, it's just like I hate
your team.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I hate you you bro? What he said, that's what
he said. He said, your coach is yelling at him
in the elevator.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I was like, bro, wait what all right, I'm gonna
tell you he said, you didn't say anything.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
He said your coach is the one chirpnato that it was.
I was like laughing.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
He was so awkward in the corner. I just like
in the corner by himself, like awkward, you know what I mean?
So I like bantering loving and it was quite as
fucking elevator. As soon as the open though and security
was outside, He's like, yeah you got you push you hand?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Really? Yeah, yes, bro, Like you're not that, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
So you're like you're pretending, like what was me alone
in the elevator, Like no one can bela memophire posting elevator,
you know what I mean. But he can't be posting
an elevator. That's different, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I mean, like I am, I am that in my heart,
you know what I mean. He ain't that.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
He is a persona on the media and trying to
talk something to the fight and blah blah blah and
the easy fight and everything, and is what it is.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
That's what I was gonna ask, like, like, you know,
do you think he's putting kind of making himself like
I can do this because there's a lot of times
right like the mental you got to work yourself mentally
to go try to accomplish something truly great.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, one hundred.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
That's the way he's talking. That's that's why he's there,
you know. I mean, it says if it be, it's
make but you won't, you won't.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It would be like George A. Pierre. His coach came
out yesterday.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I forgot to ask him, my dad, man, it's like
fucking Canelo box and his coach, that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Cool block coach. You're lying. It came out.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
It's that Marcus and he's like Canelo in boxing. Now
it's training so good. I was like, bro, this is
what this is what I'm dealing with. People I'm dealing with. So,
like I said, his wife your name is mentally to
prepare himself for the battle.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Lame do that. But it's funny.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Do you think because last fight you had a lot
of bad blood, man, it seems like you Comoro didn't
have much now but obviously you and Kobe coming to
the nasty. But then in the fight, you can almost
see him go within himself, like, man, I can't beat
this man.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Do you think something similar happens on Saturday night?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Because and was that gratifying to take a Kobe Covington
who had been so boisterous going into the fight and
really rendered him pretty helpless because he I mean, what
did he throw fifteen punches?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
He didn't really do much much exactly.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I feel bringing a little bit more, I hope, you know,
But I don't feel like it could be enough. I feel,
like I said, he just watched me and him and
the scale for skin and just it still makes the
mistakes that I made before, even though he hasn't I
proved his patterns is similar, same patterns.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean, I don't feel like I can get in.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
More faster than what he is already a constans feak
and cooking what he is already it will get more
stronger than what he's already is still short, his range
is still limited, So.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I don't know. I don't know. But like I said,
but did you like that though?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Like watching that guy that talks so much really kind
of like like he really would not engage with you
like you.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Did engage and I wanted to really have him and
because we kind of side, like I said, kind of
su down the range in the distance and clind close
the distance enough. But yeah, I wish you did engage
a little bit more and forget the head.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
And you know, I once asked Justin Gage to this
question and it was the it was the craziest answer
you ever gave me.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I said, what do you feel when you're walking out there?
That's what I asked gachee.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
And then I watched you walk out right and you
John always talks about your song and like, and I
watched and I was like, I'm noticing that when he
hits the curtains, you start to smile.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So I went back and watched like a.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Few more walk up, Like is this guy like getting
when he gets close, like you get excited?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
What are you feeling?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Because dude, the moment you come out of the tunnel,
the biggest smiles on your face, like you're happy.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It's like like free, That's how I feel.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I feel like the way, let's let's go and perform
now behind the cuts. Okay, talking myself, I was puking
myself up and but seons it opens you mile because
it feels it feels like that's let's go.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
And that's the feeling I have, you know. And as
you can say that, I was like, this dude's crazy. Fuck.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I was.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Watching.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I was like, because I don't think I ever see
everybody else nobody else does that, Like when they when
when the crowd hits them, it's almost like you're like, yes,
I finally get to go fight, Like I'm gonna get
to be Somebody's that that's.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
How I felt.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
That's what I just feels like finally talk as somebody
you know, and that's what makes me happy.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And that's what that's like a manager from.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I mean, you're close to home, Birmingham, Manchester, big crowd,
a lot of people, uh your crowd though, right, you're
a star, I remember, dude, Like after the fight in London,
they almost made another pay per view because they wanted
you to headline that pay per view card, right, Like
that has to feel good because before that wasn't like
(10:54):
that for Leon Edwards one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It feels.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
It feels great like I set top the whole country
back in me and just saying I'm an even for me,
just I was believing in my south, going for now
in my career and now to final everyone getting the
same belief that I believe I believe back in the day. Yes,
now I feel free and this is the reason why
I feel like I'm so happy that I didn't have
to like change myself.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I didn't have to like start diamond head blonding being
away doing it.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Yeah, and now everyone's everyone's on the boat and so
so good.
Speaker 4 (11:26):

I can do this because there's a lot of times
right like the mental you got to work yourself mentally
to go try to accomplish something truly great.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, one hundred.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
That's the way he's talking. That's that's why he's there,
you know. I mean, it says if it be, it's
make but you won't, you won't.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It would be like George A. Pierre. His coach came
out yesterday.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I forgot to ask him, my dad, man, it's like
fucking Canelo box and his coach, that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Cool block coach. You're lying. It came out.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
It's that Marcus and he's like Canelo in boxing. Now
it's training so good. I was like, bro, this is
what this is what I'm dealing with. People I'm dealing with. So,
like I said, his wife your name is mentally to
prepare himself for the battle.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Lame do that. But it's funny.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Do you think because last fight you had a lot
of bad blood, man, it seems like you Comoro didn't
have much now but obviously you and Kobe coming to
the nasty. But then in the fight, you can almost
see him go within himself, like, man, I can't beat
this man.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Do you think something similar happens on Saturday night?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Because and was that gratifying to take a Kobe Covington
who had been so boisterous going into the fight and
really rendered him pretty helpless because he I mean, what
did he throw fifteen punches?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
He didn't really do much much exactly.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I feel bringing a little bit more, I hope, you know,
But I don't feel like it could be enough. I feel,
like I said, he just watched me and him and
the scale for skin and just it still makes the
mistakes that I made before, even though he hasn't I
proved his patterns is similar, same patterns.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean, I don't feel like I can get in.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
More faster than what he is already a constans feak
and cooking what he is already it will get more
stronger than what he's already is still short, his range
is still limited, So.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I don't know. I don't know. But like I said,
but did you like that though?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Like watching that guy that talks so much really kind
of like like he really would not engage with you
like you.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Did engage and I wanted to really have him and
because we kind of side, like I said, kind of
su down the range in the distance and clind close
the distance enough. But yeah, I wish you did engage
a little bit more and forget the head.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
And you know, I once asked Justin Gage to this
question and it was the it was the craziest answer
you ever gave me.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I said, what do you feel when you're walking out there?
That's what I asked gachee.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
And then I watched you walk out right and you
John always talks about your song and like, and I
watched and I was like, I'm noticing that when he
hits the curtains, you start to smile.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So I went back and watched like a.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Few more walk up, Like is this guy like getting
when he gets close, like you get excited?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
What are you feeling?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Because dude, the moment you come out of the tunnel,
the biggest smiles on your face, like you're happy.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It's like like free, That's how I feel.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I feel like the way, let's let's go and perform
now behind the cuts. Okay, talking myself, I was puking
myself up and but seons it opens you mile because
it feels it feels like that's let's go.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
And that's the feeling I have, you know. And as
you can say that, I was like, this dude's crazy. Fuck.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I was.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Watching.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I was like, because I don't think I ever see
everybody else nobody else does that, Like when they when
when the crowd hits them, it's almost like you're like, yes,
I finally get to go fight, Like I'm gonna get
to be Somebody's that that's.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
How I felt.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
That's what I just feels like finally talk as somebody
you know, and that's what makes me happy.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And that's what that's like a manager from.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I mean, you're close to home, Birmingham, Manchester, big crowd,
a lot of people, uh your crowd though, right, you're
a star, I remember, dude, Like after the fight in London,
they almost made another pay per view because they wanted
you to headline that pay per view card, right, Like
that has to feel good because before that wasn't like
(10:54):
that for Leon Edwards one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It feels.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
It feels great like I set top the whole country
back in me and just saying I'm an even for me,
just I was believing in my south, going for now
in my career and now to final everyone getting the
same belief that I believe I believe back in the day. Yes,
now I feel free and this is the reason why
I feel like I'm so happy that I didn't have
to like change myself.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I didn't have to like start diamond head blonding being
away doing it.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Yeah, and now everyone's everyone's on the boat and so
so good.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
I'm a European soccer fan, so I went to Manchester
City today.
