Hey.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I always tell you that hard Rock Bet gets you
in on all the sports around the world, and right
now I'm locked in on the NBA Playoffs, and all
new customers bet only five dollars or more, and if
that original bet hits, you get one hundred and fifty
and bonus bets instantly. Look, there are a lot of
ways you can bet the NBA Finals, from who wins,

how many games, MVP, all those different things you can.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Bet at hard Rock Bet.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
But all you gotta do win that original bet, get
one hundred and fifty and bonus bets on the NBA Finals.
Right now, my pick the New York Knicks. I don't
want to pick the New York Knicks when you have
looked as dominant as you have looked. I believe the
Knicks get it done, and I believe that the Spurs
probably need one more year before we run into another

York Knicks six games over the San Antonio Spurs get
in on it.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Now, Like you and I sit and talk and people
so it's like the routine, right, we sit and talk.
You tell me you and Fernand tell me how confident
you are. Everybody else underestimates you. Then you go inside
the octagon and.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You do your thing. Can you feel that again?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
In the a bil to this one I mean we
got the president talking that if Perreira wins, he's the
greatest of all time. Like people are overlooking you saying
he's gonna be a three division champion.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Is this really comfortable with this situation? To be uh, to
be uh outsider, I'm really okay with that. I'm really
okay with that. This is uh, this is a type
of motivation for me. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, Why does it motivate you to be overlooked like that?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Uh? First of all, because i want this belt. I
really want this belt. And also because I'm really grateful
to fighting again Alexi. Uh he's a great champion. I
think it's a great guy. Also, Uh, he's really respectful
with value, so I really appreciate to have a match
(03:08):
up with him. And also because he is uh considerately
like one of the best striker.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
So what what he said? Man, what you say for.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Okay, because you have you have to be outsider, you
have less pressure on your shoulder. Like, uh, it's really simple,
really simple, Like this meant the people wedding win from
pere not not me. So I got less pressure and
(03:55):
so I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna go in this
fight with this energy, like, okay, let's go.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Can we go back to the last fight before we
move into this one more? Tom Aspinall is the world champion.
Obviously everybody talked about his knockout power and he had
pretty much hit people and they would fall. But when
you guys are in there, you were being Cyril gone right.
(04:25):
You were moving with the confidence that was Honestly, you're
fighting really good. If I'm being I'm not trying to
dick ride you anohing, but you were fighting pretty good
in that. But you're fighting pretty good in that fight.
You were moving, you were jabbing, you were doing really good.
Could you feel like inside that fight, I know it
wasn't long. Could you feel his confidence start to shift
a little bit? Because he shot the takedown, you defend it,
(04:48):
You're stuck him with a couple jabs.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
He's bleeding.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
When the last few fights it had been Tom swings
guy falls match over. Could you see in his body
or is the way he was moving that he was
kind of going This might be a little different.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You have your frighter, so you know, during the fight
against a guy, you have a feeling only you and
you open and have this feeling and not outside of
the coaches, not the crowd, and yeah, I feel something
uh like more and more. I started to be really
more comfortable during this round because I got some sign
(05:25):
from him, like yes, he tried the first time to
make me down. My job was with the clean and
stuff like that. I can I herald the uh breathed
some stuff like that heavy, not too much heavy, but
you see when you have a fighter with your opener,
(05:46):
you have some feeling better or something. So this will
make me a little bit more comfortable.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, you are a guy that has now been the
interim champion for fill on Dispirity Championship, for to be
the championship, and now fighting for uh the interim championship.
This is four times that you have now been entire
five times you fought for the UFC Championship. Is there
pressure right going into this fight or added pressure because
(06:15):
not many people get those opportunities? Are that many opportunities
to try to become a world champion.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I got opportunities because I deserve it, So I got
no pressure. I just have it just My job is
just to train myself to be the best version I
can and go and go to the fight. Uh oh yeah,
oh oh yeah, it's exactly the way you had.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Or so on with pressure. Now about the belt, bro,
I couldn't lose the belt. They just kept giving it
back to me. I would lose, they would give me
the fucking belt back. Bro. It was crazy John. It
was crazy. John Jones beat me and they gave me
the belt back. I was like, fuck, man, I can't
lose his shit. No, but I yes, there was pressure
(07:05):
every time I went.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So when I went into the Volcanos the Mirror fight,
because I had lost that John Jones fight and I
was fighting for the belt again, there was an added pressure.
I'm wondering for you if you feel that or d
can you operate without that?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I think the pressure can when you have the best,
m not when you're fighting for the best. I think
that for me. No, I got no pressure personalitly this
is mine as well. I got no pressure about my
past because I felt already a few times for the best.
No no pressure, less pressure. I'm gonna say less pressure
because I got the experience, So no less pressure.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I like what you said though about you earned it right,
because it's not like you went and just got another opportunity.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You beat Spivak, you won another.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Fight in order to get yourself in that title fight,
and then you were fighting the champion Tom Aspalo on
the way that you did which got you this fight.
So it's not like you're just getting handed title opportunities.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You are earning them.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Let's get to Alex Perero, right, former middleweight champ, former
light heavyweight champion, now trying to become a three division champion.
When you hear Dana White say if he wins, he
jumps John Jones, becomes the greatest fight of all time,
and you go, well, what if I beat him? Do
you think about, like, does that put me in I
want to be in the conversation one.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Of the greats of all time?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
But yeah, makes sense, makes sense. I'm not looking for seriously,
I'm not looking for for the opinion of the people
outside outside. He's not outside, he's not a white or
mister Donald Trump or stuff like that. But I'm not
about the opinion of the people to be uh, to
have a statue, the goal of stuff like that. But
(08:41):
to win this fight, man, a lot for me. To
win this fight, man a love for me, And.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
To beat Alex Perrer would be one of the biggest
wins of your career. But that also would put you
in line to fight Tom again, right and then, no
matter what has happened, no matter how that fight ended
last time or what it was going on at that point,
that would be an awesome fight. But what do you
expect from Pereerra come this weekend? Do you think that
he has to fight a little different knowing that he's
(09:10):
fighting a heavyweight. I was watching Countdown, and I think
that your friend that you were training with, he made
one of the greatest points of all time.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Because Perera is so good.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Offensively, he kind of ignores defense. That's why at a
Signa got him in a way that he did. Do
you think that going up the heavyweight he realizes that
he's got to be a little bit more cautious, knowing
that you guys generate so much power coming back towards him.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I expected the best version of Perra, for sure. He's
a professional guy with his team. You know, he's training
himself with a really big guy already at the jam Saw,
So I'm pretty sure you know, you know, you know
what to do. But yeah, every ready, division is always
the same thing. You just need sometimes just one punch
(09:56):
to finish the fight. But I'm pretty sure you're prepared
for that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'm pretty sure what would win in this championship mean
to you this weekend?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I looked, I looked. Now I'm just turning myself for that. Yeah,
just for that.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And you're you're fighting at the White House, Like, could
you ever imagine that you would be fighting at the
White This is like the craziest ship to me ever
because I'm working at the White House, but to be
able to fight at the White House must be just
an amazing honor.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
It's going to be amazing, but more for the people.
I mean, during the fight, I'm going to be really
focused on my fight, really focused on my strategy and
in my game. But yeah, for sure, discipient is going.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
To be really you can't take in any of it,
Like like when you're in the White House getting ready
to walk, you're not gonna look running.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It's gonna it's the first of all.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Something crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
This is literally the only time I'm like jealous. I
was like, man, this would have been cool, Like this
would have been like a cool thing. Like since I retired,
you have C three hundred could not give two fucks
the fear this fear don't give a damn.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
But this I'm like, man, I would have loved.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
To gonna happen. Maybe it's gonna happen just one time.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, it's never gonna happen again. We got one president
that's gonna do that. No other president and no other
president wouldn't let us do a fight at the White House. Yeah,
you become the champ that would ultimately. I mean, you've
been one of the greatest. Have waits for a really
long time. This weekend is going to be tremendous. I
cannot wait to watch it compete. Now on record? Can

Speaker 3 (11:48):
How are we going to do that?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
How am I gonna do? What?
Speaker 3 (11:51):

so you move. I don't think you move more than me.
I see you. No, let's let's let's do it in golf.
Speaker 1 (12:09):

want to play golf. I want to play basketball. So
