Speaker 2 (00:06):
What's Up Guys, UFC three to eighteen goes down this weekend.
It's time for my row performance playbook for Max Holloway
and Dustin Fourier. For Max Holloway to get the job done,
he's got to do what he did in the second
fight earlier. He cannot allow for Dustin to sprint out
ahead of him and have to work his way back
into the fight as he did last time, and he
did that very well to make it a competitive fight.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
And for Pourier, he's also.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Got to remind Max Holloway that he's the guy that's
won two fights are the first two fights that they had.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
He's got to get his right hand going.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
He's got to try to stun him and hurt him
early to really put Max Holloway on his heels.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
If he allows Holloway to get.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Going and start to build momentum, he will have a
lot of problems. But for Max, it's set the pace,
set the tempo. For Dustin, it's remind him and get
that right.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Hand working very early.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's a big time fight in New Orleans and I'm
so happy to be a part of Dustin Fourier just

I always try it.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
You can't tell me what did you what did you have?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
What you've been having I've been just taking bites off
the nuts two me good. Yeah, I see I always
han't it.

How's the weight cut going on? Like?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Are is? I mean the last time he interviewed me,
you could see my chick at dead. It's terrible. Bro.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Why were you so insistent on going back down there?
Especially after you look so good in that fight against Justin?
You were like insistent that the way you need to.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Fight at I just wanted to do my thing, you know,
I mean they promised me one. I thought I the
number one contender. I beat the number one contender at
fifty five. I was like, okay, I go back to
my thing, get another uh, get another belt, and then
come back up grab another one, you know, so you
know things then I'm kind of that way, but it
is what it is. The man who beat me last
(03:05):
is not a champion up this way class.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
So I look forward to the challenge.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So before we move forward, I have to ask you that,
like about that last fight, right, I know how disappointing.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
It is.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
You know, you have been in the locker room with
me after what happened to you last time, as I
went to your locker room last time, after that happened,
first time that's ever happened in your career. How was
dealing with that? How was bouncing back from that? And
like when you look back on that, right, like, what
is your what is your thoughts in regards to the
way that fight ended and how you move forward with it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I mean, it happens, right, I mean I felt it
wasn't like he was like just having his way in
there like I felt.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Like the other day they said one of my buddies,
like I picked Max in the rematch because it's not
like he was.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Just Yeah, I felt I felt great in there with him,
you know, and we was I felt like we was competing.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Was competing. That's all you can do. And it is
what it is. At the end of the day, I humid.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's something that you know, my body felt like, hey, look,
you know, like it's time to go down, you know.
So it is what it is for a play to him,
but we should happens, you know, no excuses for that fight.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Everybody talk about the weight cut. Everybody talking about anything, Bros.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's the most point too, Like maybe it was because
you suck so much weight back down?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yeah, but you know, I mean I made the way
I did the choice. You know, we fought there. It
is what it is.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'm not gonna take nothing away from the man, but
I'm here working hard. He got something I want, you know,
I want to join the leads like you and being
a double champ.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I think.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So there's only like ten now, so if I can
come come to eleven or the twelve, that'd be great.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah. Was it a hard process moving forward from it?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Not at all?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
You know, I was sad. I was sad in there.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You saw me after I was sad, I was beat,
I was whatever, but spilled milk. But we're gonna keep
crying about it, keep holding it, keep thinking about even
everybody took talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I see the media, I see everyone like how he's
going to react after this, you know, for this next fight.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
They do not get hit. I'm the same man, you
know what I mean? And like everybody's going crazy because
I said something. They didn't watch the interview, but I
said something about gay Chee's I said Gatechee hits harder
than Uh and Ilia.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
But I what I said was I.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Felt Gey Cheese punches and kicks more than Ilia. When
I was in there with Alia, nothing was like, oh
my god, this guy hits so hard, you know. But
obviously at the.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
End of they didn't. They didn't wait to the end
of the interview.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Because I said, obviously he hits hard because I was
on the ground, like you know what I mean, like
the click made my ass.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It's amazing. It's not amazing how they do you no
matter what you say, they always like spend this, and
all of a sudden there everybody mad at you because
I think you got solid grapes.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
It's been thirteen years since you, guys, fought longest spaning
trilogy in USC history.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
He told me earlier.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It's hard to take much from the previous fights because
so much time passes between every single one. Do you
feel the same way, because it was what five years
between the first or seven years between the first two,
and then six years between the second and the third,
do you do you feel like you can take much
from what you.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
What happened in Atlanta?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Not at all, not all.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I mean, we're both different people, and we're both different sizes.
We just grew as human beings spirits, so uh, not
only are fighting skills, but even even the way we
carry ourselves. You know, we grew we's young kids when
we fought first, the second time we fought for the
introm title.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
It is what it is, what it is, and now
is this time? Bro, We're so different.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
If you looked at his fight when I fought him
for the Intro title, and you look at his title
fights after that, he's a different d's et ployer, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
And I'm coming back up to fifty five.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm not a forty five or you know, it's not
even in the back of my mind going back down
the way, So he knows that I'm going to be
a different animal coming there.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
You spoke about, uh about the first time you guys fought,
you were caring a little bit of it, a little
bit over the waist and stuff because you were just.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Getting I had my DC body suit on.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Do you remember that one? You're soul. Respective it happens
every time. You just want to make fun of it
old time.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
But yes, you had your see suito, but you remember
that one time even then, like you were kind of
stuck in between that when you were gonna fight Kabebe.
You were so big that it was hard to even
make the way fifty five. But then when you thought,
justin you look like a completely different person, Like the
diet has changed, everything's changed. Now you're a lightweight. How
(09:28):
can the fight be different? Because what happened in fight
number two, at least to my eyes, was he got
out ahead of you and you had.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
To work yourself back back.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
How do you make sure that that doesn't happen this
time where you take the lead early as you didn't
adjustin geates you fight.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I mean, my favorite words we have to find on
Saturday night, you know, at the end of day with
the Gatechee, with the with the Kabean fight, that was
like a you know, really trying that was like a
couple of days with the U with the dust and
second fight, it wasn't it was like five weeks or
four weeks something like that. Kind of short noise but
not really you know what I mean so it is Yeah,
(10:03):
it is is.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah, it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, I got a wife now too. So she makes
sure you know she she she knows how I look.
And she compared our pictures like, we can't have you
looking like DC outside of camps.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
We need to get you here.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's like body shot out to the bodies.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
As you know me, bro, we gotta work the body
for her. So at the end of the day, we're
going out there with Dustin. Yeah, I know, I saw
he said that. He was saying that you want to
beat me to the punch, be first, be that. Well,
I want to do the same thing.
Speaker 4 (10:34):

Speaker 4 (11:36):
But you want to know, I want to know.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
You don't have to wait till Saturday. Just like everybody
else is good.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Just like everybody else, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So so Max.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
The BMF title is now not just when it started,
it was a bit of a prop right, Yeah. The
Diaz and George monicl Doon were nowhere near the title fight.
It wasn't It didn't really matter. But you guys are
elite level fighters. You've elevated the BMF championship. Do you
feel like by beating Dustin pouriate defeeling that BMF title,
(12:08):
you can immediately go, Hey, I'm over here. I have
a history with the champ I should be right back
into that title conversation for sure.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
You know, at the end of the day, you you've
been in the sport and you've been around the sport
long enough to know that everything is about moments. If
I can go out there have another three hundred moment,
you know what I mean, especially with yeah, especially with
uh uh Poyer and him being in his last dance,
and even in you know, his his city where he from,
that'd be.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Uh he's not from here.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Oh yeah, he's from New Orleans. From Lafayette.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeh, bringest city on the plane.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah you're from Lafayette too, Yeah, yeah, so you have
some favoritism. I do love Lafayette, Yeah, for sure, for sure.
But you know, at the end of the day, it's
all about moments.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Man.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
If we can have this moment, we can make it big.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Who's to say, you know, and if and if it's
not the next one, then you don't feed me one
more you know I've seen. I was happy, you know,
when they announces the title fight between the Poor and
Oliver because I had history of both of them, you know.
So and then I saw in the media and stuff
Oliver Ea, you know, kind of saying that he would
like to like that Remac like down back, you know
what I mean. So at the end, they I like
(13:12):
my odds of who I want to fight next, So
what shit happens? I just got to go out there
do my thing and man raised.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What do you expect from Sam? And if you expect
the crowd to be like like loud Boot, you expect
to be Boot. That's always hold Boot.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I hope. So you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
If it was in Hawaii, DC and I was fighting,
you're the most likable guy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
If if it was in a while fighting, you might
be better be booing your ass.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
See what they gonna be booing until I beat that egg?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
No, no, like, but I hope. So you know I did.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You gotta do the man right, bro, he's over here,
he's representing you guys. State they boom my ass please
and you like that though, I mean, it is what
it sucks here in the booze, but it comes with
the territory, right, it's his last dance in his home state.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
When you jump in and move my ass.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
When you got the call to fight Dustin, and they said,
did they tell you immediately was gonna be in Louisiana
or did they tell you it was up in the
air when you got the call that hey, this is
his last dance. He's rolling out there in his hometown
for a final fight.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Like did you like, go, well, I don't know if
I like that, like you know, like no, they say
they say it was Dustin, and then they said they
had a couple of places might be Louisiana. So I
was like, I went to I went to a Smoothie
king arena to see the dates, and I called it
like had there's like what was the hot wheels?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Did this last week? Or next week? There's like something
next was the last week?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
It is last week? I think, so last week or
next week? But then everything was filled except for this week.
So I was like, we're probably finding Louisiana in July
nineteen and here we are, all right, manks, so.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
This is the trilogy. Three years all right? Thirteen years? Sorry,
you've been in the trilogy with Volkanowski.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah, let's not bring down nobody terrible, but.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I'm saying nobody has been into a trilogy that they
have not won any of the six fights.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I know, have you thought about that, Like that's what
everybody talking about. Oh whatever to being the first guy
to defend to be a math title, I was like, brother,
I'm trying to be the first guy not to be
holding six and ANAMN trilogy and two different ones.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
So that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You know what if you could lose if you well,
you can win Saturday and you still probably gonna lose
the trilogy.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So we got something college because I lost two trilogies to.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Jones and they.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Both got me a trilogy.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Oh my god. But you got wins though.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You gotta won not only for Joes twice. But you
don't get a terrible when you lose two unless you're
Max Bro.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
You're super popular. He's got over it.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So what is that is there is there pressure that though,
like going to get that victory making sure that you
don't have that because like you're you're one of the
greatest fighters of all.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Time, right, you hold so many records. But that's like
when we don't want Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah, for sure, I don't want that record, but it
is that.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
It isn't back of my mind. But at the end
of the day, it's just another fight, man, It's just
it's just another fight. We gotta go out there or no.
My mindset is on dustn't Ployer. I know it's his
last dance of everything.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
It sucks.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I need to be spoiler. But like you like like
you said, or like I told you, bro, he took
my undefeated streak, he took my thirteen fighter wins straight.
I think we can call it even and I take
his I take his retirement fight.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Well, the BMF title is defended or won, somebody special
puts it on the champion.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Somebody asked me who I thought should put the belt
on you.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I said, either your wife or Rush because I know
how hard it was after that last fight. Who would
be the ideal person to put that BMF title on
your waist? If you want on Saturday, I would say.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
If I had to be between them, I would say
Rush because of the first fight of what happened, you
know on the second fight. Actually with the instrum title,
that'd be dope. But if I had to say, I'll
make you put it on. Yeah, Home State guy, you
know you're here. You're gonna interview my ass after fighting
we put the damn belt on me to it.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
What's Up Guys, UFC three to eighteen goes down this weekend.
It's time for my row performance playbook for Max Holloway
and Dustin Fourier. For Max Holloway to get the job done,
he's got to do what he did in the second
fight earlier. He cannot allow for Dustin to sprint out
ahead of him and have to work his way back
into the fight as he did last time, and he
did that very well to make it a competitive fight.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
And for Pourier, he's also.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Got to remind Max Holloway that he's the guy that's
won two fights are the first two fights that they had.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
He's got to get his right hand going.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
He's got to try to stun him and hurt him
early to really put Max Holloway on his heels.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
If he allows Holloway to get.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Going and start to build momentum, he will have a
lot of problems. But for Max, it's set the pace,

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I mean, I took bites of everybody's stuff here. You

I always try it.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
You can't tell me what did you what did you have?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
What you've been having I've been just taking bites off
the nuts two me good. Yeah, I see I always
han't it.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's all good so good man.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Anything I say, I'm like, bro, I need a bite.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Is the best man? Oh yeah, bro, But you're not
here to eat just yet?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
No, not yet.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
How's the weight cut going on? Like?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Are is? I mean the last time he interviewed me,
you could see my chick at dead. It's terrible. Bro.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Why were you so insistent on going back down there?
Especially after you look so good in that fight against Justin?
You were like insistent that the way you need to.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Fight at I just wanted to do my thing, you know,
I mean they promised me one. I thought I the
number one contender. I beat the number one contender at
fifty five. I was like, okay, I go back to
my thing, get another uh, get another belt, and then
come back up grab another one, you know, so you
know things then I'm kind of that way, but it
is what it is. The man who beat me last
(03:05):
is not a champion up this way class.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
So I look forward to the challenge.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So before we move forward, I have to ask you that,
like about that last fight, right, I know how disappointing.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
It is.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
You know, you have been in the locker room with
me after what happened to you last time, as I
went to your locker room last time, after that happened,
first time that's ever happened in your career. How was
dealing with that? How was bouncing back from that? And
like when you look back on that, right, like, what
is your what is your thoughts in regards to the
way that fight ended and how you move forward with it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I mean, it happens, right, I mean I felt it
wasn't like he was like just having his way in
there like I felt.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Like the other day they said one of my buddies,
like I picked Max in the rematch because it's not
like he was.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Just Yeah, I felt I felt great in there with him,
you know, and we was I felt like we was competing.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Was competing. That's all you can do. And it is
what it is. At the end of the day, I humid.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's something that you know, my body felt like, hey, look,
you know, like it's time to go down, you know.
So it is what it is for a play to him,
but we should happens, you know, no excuses for that fight.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Everybody talk about the weight cut. Everybody talking about anything, Bros.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's the most point too, Like maybe it was because
you suck so much weight back down?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yeah, but you know, I mean I made the way
I did the choice. You know, we fought there. It
is what it is.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'm not gonna take nothing away from the man, but
I'm here working hard. He got something I want, you know,
I want to join the leads like you and being
a double champ.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I think.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So there's only like ten now, so if I can
come come to eleven or the twelve, that'd be great.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah. Was it a hard process moving forward from it?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Not at all?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
You know, I was sad. I was sad in there.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You saw me after I was sad, I was beat,
I was whatever, but spilled milk. But we're gonna keep
crying about it, keep holding it, keep thinking about even
everybody took talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I see the media, I see everyone like how he's
going to react after this, you know, for this next fight.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
They do not get hit. I'm the same man, you
know what I mean? And like everybody's going crazy because
I said something. They didn't watch the interview, but I
said something about gay Chee's I said Gatechee hits harder
than Uh and Ilia.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
But I what I said was I.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Felt Gey Cheese punches and kicks more than Ilia. When
I was in there with Alia, nothing was like, oh
my god, this guy hits so hard, you know. But
obviously at the.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
End of they didn't. They didn't wait to the end
of the interview.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Because I said, obviously he hits hard because I was
on the ground, like you know what I mean, like
the click made my ass.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It's amazing. It's not amazing how they do you no
matter what you say, they always like spend this, and
all of a sudden there everybody mad at you because
I think you got solid grapes.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Boy, yeah, I know, it is what it is, bro.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
But and then they get at the end of the
day and my fans gonna be my fans, and I
just gotta move forward, you know, you know, with Uh
this being Dustin's last dance when New Orleans where he
all started, it's great that they did event frame here.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
But like I said, it sucks to be.
Speaker 3 (05:58):

Speaker 2 (07:45):
It's been thirteen years since you, guys, fought longest spaning
trilogy in USC history.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
He told me earlier.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It's hard to take much from the previous fights because
so much time passes between every single one. Do you
feel the same way, because it was what five years
between the first or seven years between the first two,
and then six years between the second and the third,
do you do you feel like you can take much
from what you.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
What happened in Atlanta?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Not at all, not all.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I mean, we're both different people, and we're both different sizes.
We just grew as human beings spirits, so uh, not
only are fighting skills, but even even the way we
carry ourselves. You know, we grew we's young kids when
we fought first, the second time we fought for the
introm title.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
It is what it is, what it is, and now
is this time? Bro, We're so different.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
If you looked at his fight when I fought him
for the Intro title, and you look at his title
fights after that, he's a different d's et ployer, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
And I'm coming back up to fifty five.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm not a forty five or you know, it's not
even in the back of my mind going back down
the way, So he knows that I'm going to be
a different animal coming there.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
You spoke about, uh about the first time you guys fought,
you were caring a little bit of it, a little
bit over the waist and stuff because you were just.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Getting I had my DC body suit on.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Do you remember that one? You're soul. Respective it happens
every time. You just want to make fun of it
old time.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
But yes, you had your see suito, but you remember
that one time even then, like you were kind of
stuck in between that when you were gonna fight Kabebe.
You were so big that it was hard to even
make the way fifty five. But then when you thought,
justin you look like a completely different person, Like the
diet has changed, everything's changed. Now you're a lightweight. How
(09:28):
can the fight be different? Because what happened in fight
number two, at least to my eyes, was he got
out ahead of you and you had.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
To work yourself back back.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
How do you make sure that that doesn't happen this
time where you take the lead early as you didn't
adjustin geates you fight.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I mean, my favorite words we have to find on
Saturday night, you know, at the end of day with
the Gatechee, with the with the Kabean fight, that was
like a you know, really trying that was like a
couple of days with the U with the dust and
second fight, it wasn't it was like five weeks or
four weeks something like that. Kind of short noise but
not really you know what I mean so it is Yeah,
(10:03):
it is is.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah, it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, I got a wife now too. So she makes
sure you know she she she knows how I look.
And she compared our pictures like, we can't have you
looking like DC outside of camps.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
We need to get you here.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's like body shot out to the bodies.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
As you know me, bro, we gotta work the body
for her. So at the end of the day, we're
going out there with Dustin. Yeah, I know, I saw
he said that. He was saying that you want to
beat me to the punch, be first, be that. Well,
I want to do the same thing.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
So we go out.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
There should be fireworks and it's it's gonna be a
fun one. It's this man's last dance. We expecting the best.
Dusn't ployer there. There is going to be You know,
you're in your home time, bro. You got he got
Little Wayne walking.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Him out of her. That's crazy, bro, you you got
Little Wayne. You're in your hometime. You better put on
the show.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You what you so when you're in the octagon in
Lil Wayne's wrapping to the octdown, what are you doing?
Do you pay attention to that?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
I'm walking on second nd bro for sure, Why wouldn't I?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Oh no, you got to go.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yeah, come on, but this guy playing favoritism radio.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Here's the problem. Everybody act like I play favorites for
your ass. I know you got me fired before me.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I know, I know that's terrible, dude.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, thats best. So don't be playing favorite ship with me.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, I got You're in the back, he
will be okay, John, You know, I want to know
what song he's saying?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Did he say, did you say what song? Yeah? I'm
to me is a secret?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
No, what is it? What is it?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Is? It?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Is it right above?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Is it yours? Because I used to walk into the
song all the time too, So I love it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It's a great song. It's a great song.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
But you want to know, I want to know.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
You don't have to wait till Saturday. Just like everybody
else is good.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Just like everybody else, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So so Max.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
The BMF title is now not just when it started,
it was a bit of a prop right, Yeah. The
Diaz and George monicl Doon were nowhere near the title fight.
It wasn't It didn't really matter. But you guys are
elite level fighters. You've elevated the BMF championship. Do you
feel like by beating Dustin pouriate defeeling that BMF title,
(12:08):
you can immediately go, Hey, I'm over here. I have
a history with the champ I should be right back
into that title conversation for sure.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
You know, at the end of the day, you you've
been in the sport and you've been around the sport
long enough to know that everything is about moments. If
I can go out there have another three hundred moment,
you know what I mean, especially with yeah, especially with
uh uh Poyer and him being in his last dance,
and even in you know, his his city where he from,
that'd be.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Uh he's not from here.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Oh yeah, he's from New Orleans. From Lafayette.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeh, bringest city on the plane.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah you're from Lafayette too, Yeah, yeah, so you have
some favoritism. I do love Lafayette, Yeah, for sure, for sure.
But you know, at the end of the day, it's
all about moments.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Man.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
If we can have this moment, we can make it big.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Who's to say, you know, and if and if it's
not the next one, then you don't feed me one
more you know I've seen. I was happy, you know,
when they announces the title fight between the Poor and
Oliver because I had history of both of them, you know.
So and then I saw in the media and stuff
Oliver Ea, you know, kind of saying that he would
like to like that Remac like down back, you know
what I mean. So at the end, they I like
(13:12):
my odds of who I want to fight next, So
what shit happens? I just got to go out there
do my thing and man raised.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What do you expect from Sam? And if you expect
the crowd to be like like loud Boot, you expect
to be Boot. That's always hold Boot.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I hope. So you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
If it was in Hawaii, DC and I was fighting,
you're the most likable guy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
If if it was in a while fighting, you might
be better be booing your ass.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
See what they gonna be booing until I beat that egg?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
No, no, like, but I hope. So you know I did.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You gotta do the man right, bro, he's over here,
he's representing you guys. State they boom my ass please
and you like that though, I mean, it is what
it sucks here in the booze, but it comes with
the territory, right, it's his last dance in his home state.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
When you jump in and move my ass.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
When you got the call to fight Dustin, and they said,
did they tell you immediately was gonna be in Louisiana
or did they tell you it was up in the
air when you got the call that hey, this is
his last dance. He's rolling out there in his hometown
for a final fight.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Like did you like, go, well, I don't know if
I like that, like you know, like no, they say
they say it was Dustin, and then they said they
had a couple of places might be Louisiana. So I
was like, I went to I went to a Smoothie
king arena to see the dates, and I called it
like had there's like what was the hot wheels?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Did this last week? Or next week? There's like something
next was the last week?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
It is last week? I think, so last week or
next week? But then everything was filled except for this week.
So I was like, we're probably finding Louisiana in July
nineteen and here we are, all right, manks, so.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
This is the trilogy. Three years all right? Thirteen years? Sorry,
you've been in the trilogy with Volkanowski.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah, let's not bring down nobody terrible, but.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I'm saying nobody has been into a trilogy that they
have not won any of the six fights.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I know, have you thought about that, Like that's what
everybody talking about. Oh whatever to being the first guy
to defend to be a math title, I was like, brother,
I'm trying to be the first guy not to be
holding six and ANAMN trilogy and two different ones.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
So that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You know what if you could lose if you well,
you can win Saturday and you still probably gonna lose
the trilogy.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So we got something college because I lost two trilogies to.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Jones and they.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Both got me a trilogy.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Oh my god. But you got wins though.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You gotta won not only for Joes twice. But you
don't get a terrible when you lose two unless you're
Max Bro.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
You're super popular. He's got over it.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So what is that is there is there pressure that though,
like going to get that victory making sure that you
don't have that because like you're you're one of the
greatest fighters of all.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Time, right, you hold so many records. But that's like
when we don't want Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah, for sure, I don't want that record, but it
is that.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
It isn't back of my mind. But at the end
of the day, it's just another fight, man, It's just
it's just another fight. We gotta go out there or no.
My mindset is on dustn't Ployer. I know it's his
last dance of everything.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
It sucks.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I need to be spoiler. But like you like like
you said, or like I told you, bro, he took
my undefeated streak, he took my thirteen fighter wins straight.
I think we can call it even and I take
his I take his retirement fight.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Well, the BMF title is defended or won, somebody special
puts it on the champion.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Somebody asked me who I thought should put the belt
on you.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I said, either your wife or Rush because I know
how hard it was after that last fight. Who would
be the ideal person to put that BMF title on
your waist? If you want on Saturday, I would say.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
If I had to be between them, I would say
Rush because of the first fight of what happened, you
know on the second fight. Actually with the instrum title,
that'd be dope. But if I had to say, I'll
make you put it on. Yeah, Home State guy, you
know you're here. You're gonna interview my ass after fighting
we put the damn belt on me to it.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
