Speaker 1 (00:01):
The volume.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Guys, today's video is brought to you by our good
friends at hard Rock Bet.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey. I always tell you that hard Rock Bet gets
you in.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
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 a 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 bet
(00:34):
at hard Rock Bet. 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
(00:55):
before we run into another one of those Spurs dynasties
like we had before. New York Knicks six games over
the San Antonio Spurs get in on it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
At hard Rock Bet.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Are good friends, payable and bonus Betts is not a
cash offer offered by the Seminal Tribe of Florida and
Florida offered.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
By Siminal hard Rock Digital LLC. In all other states.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You must be twenty one or older and physically present
in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee,
or Virginia to play. Terms and conditions apply. Concerned about
gambling in Florida called one eight eight eight a d
mit it. In Indiana, if you are someone you know
(01:41):
has a gambling problem and wants help, call one eight
hundred nine with it. And if you have a gambling problem,
call one eight hundred gambler.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
What's up? Guys?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Hey, I'm at the Academy Fight Club right now and
Main and Gilroth, California, and I figured I would make
a video right now addressing some things that are coming
out about me and what I may be doing in
the future.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So I wanted to kind of address that right now now.
Today's video is brought to.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You by Total Wireless, the official wireless provider of UFC.
They're in your corner with unlimited five G data that
will not slow you down. Now, that's a Total power move.
So I have been Obviously, John Jones and I went
to Thailand and did a show. We were able to
work alongside each other cordially and get the show done,
(02:36):
which just wrapped very recently. Which the result was I
had both guys in the finals and my guy beat Jones' guys,
and then I coached the guy that beat Razindo's guy
to win the whole competition.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So reality is in that area, in.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
That arena, I already won, okay, But when you start
to see two guys that have been at each other's
throat for so long, you start to wonder other ways
in which they can compete. But remember Jones beat me
in the fights. But everything we have done since I
have beaten him in. I beat him in the soccer game,
I beat him in the coaching. And now the idea
(03:17):
that him and I should wrestle is started to float
around or grapple.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Alfredo spoke about it the other day, and I will
tell you he is telling you the truth. When they
are trying to make a competition between John Jones and
I come together. Here's the problem. Knowing this is what
people don't tell you, and not even Alfredo. It's more
to other people, right, because right now you got Izzy
Martinez at RIF, which, by the way, is doing a
(03:46):
fantastic job.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Love RIF and what they're doing over there.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
But is he's talking about me and John talking about
I can't beat him in a wrestling match and all this.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So Izzy and I are friends. I know him very well.
He's trying to gold me into doing this wrestling match.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
But the reality is, as I told you guys before,
you don't have to gold me into this wrestling match
because I know as a fact I will beat him
ten zero at forty seven years old, if we do
a wrestling match, I'm gonna beat him ten zero. I
just don't imagine any other outcome. When I was on
the Olympic team two times, I didn't just forget how
to wrestle. Here's the problem, though, and this is what
(04:25):
you aren't privy to. The information you aren't privy to.
Not only do I know that is first off, Isy's
game is pedestrian.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Poquito, Poquito, little little little game. Right, he could never
gold me into that. We're going, well, you can't beat
him in wrestling.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
He knows better than that. Here's the problem.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I know I'm gonna beat him ten zero, but he
also knows I'm going to beat him ten zero.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That's why he will not wrestle me.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yes, Alfred on him are trying to make a wrestling
match come together.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
He won't do it. He will not wrestle.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
The amount of money that has been offered to us
to do the wrestling matches seven figures to wrestle.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You tell me to wrestle for that. I'm in all day,
all day to do a wrestling match.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
But again, not only do I know I'm going to
beat him ten zero, he knows that I'm going to
beat him ten zero, So he will not agree to
a wrestling match.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So then it leads to the post I just saw recently.
I just saw a post today that says.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
That John Jones and I are in the works for
a grappling match. Okay, I said, okay, if that's what
we want to do, I guess we can grapple, right,
it's a boatload of money. Then the stipulation start, it's
ten minutes, okay, okay, let's do eight minutes. Then it's
(06:02):
me going, well, I want to wrestle. If we're gonna
do anything, let's wrestle. Right, you're a wrest I'm a wrestler.
You said you could beat me, you could take me out.
Let's do that. No, let's grapple ten minutes. Let's make
that eight minutes. Okay, let's do submission only. No, no, no,
let's do a match where we do points. Right, let's
do points. Let's make sure that after the eight minutes.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Are done, we know who won.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Let's not go grapple for eight minutes and then have
a tie.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So, yes, they're right. R Af.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Offered him and I to wrestle again. The amount of
money wasn't what these Russian guys are offering. Alfraid on them.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's not that level, but it was still big money
for a wrestling match. I was told no.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Then they offered the wrestling match over in Russia in Moscow.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I was told no.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So then I said, well, how about a grappling match?
They said, how about a grappling match? I go, okay,
we can wrap a little bit. Well, only if it's
only submissions, no scores. Why scores would make it look
too much like a wrestling match. So I said, no,
I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna just kind
(07:18):
of just agree just because I have to agree.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And look, here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Right after spending that time with Jones over there in Thailand. Honestly,
he annoys me still, But he's not as bad as
I originally thought, because when you were around someone with
that amount of time, obviously you grow and you learn
more about them. I saw the video of him saying
how stuffy I was and how horrible I treat the
people around me, which isn't true.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
But even me with all the history.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I still can tell you straight up that he ain't
what he was before. To me, I don't have the
level of dislike for him that I had maybe in
the past. But I don't want people to get their
hopes up for something that isn't gonna.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Happen because there's knowledge.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
There's knowledge in terms of how this thing plays out.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I have knowledge of it. Every wrestler that I've evert
I've talked.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
To all of my friends, they're like, well, he won't
do it because you're gonna teck him, You're gonna take
him down, and you're gonna just either lace him out
or gut wrench him out, because there's just no way
a guy that won a junior College National championship, could
beat a two time Olympic wrestler in a wrestling match,
(08:33):
not fighting in a wrestling match. So sure, I said it,
But then when the rules are all swing, I don't
want to do it. I don't, guys, I'm telling you
right now, I don't want to wrestle. I don't want
to wrestle. I don't want to grapple. I really don't
want to do any of that, but to do it
against Jones. Have an opportunity to do something against Jones,
I would do that. If him and I get to
(08:53):
compete in something, I would do it. The money is
big enough, I would do it. But do I need
to do it. No, And that's what I told the
guys over that go I don't need to and I
don't really want to, so obviously, the only way I'm
going to is if we can come to some sort
of general agreement, a midweight point, concessions on both sides
(09:14):
to make it happen.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
But if that ain't gonna happen, then it's all good.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I'll continue to do the job that I do today,
which I love, by the way. I love commentating, I
love working my jobs. I love doing this YouTube and everything.
I love coaching my guys. I got guys getting ready
for fights. I love what I do, so I don't
need to do the other thing. But if you're gonna
pay me seven figures to wrestle against John Jones, I'm
(09:39):
in Alfredo, I'm in John Jones, I'm in Abraham Kawa,
I'm in. But if you're gonna tell me that you
want to compete against me, but only in something where
you don't run the risk of losing, cause I'll tell
you this right now, I probably won't submit him. I
probably will not submit John Jones.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I don't. I don't believe I can't. I don't know
his body style.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And he's a good grappler, he's a world champion, he's tremendous.
But I do know that if I get him on
the ground and I have to ride him and control him,
I can do that. I can do that. But if
I take him down and I ride him and control
him for ten for eight minutes, and then we get
up and they pick up both of our hands, and
what's the point.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
We don't live in a world.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I don't live in a world of let's both get
our hand raised and let's go home. No, you got
your hand raised against me already. I'd like to feel
that if I'm being complete, I want to feel that.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So if you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Give me a skill set that that suits me best. Okay, Hey,
if they want some If Abraham and Jones wants somebody
to wrestle me and beat me, they better send Gable steveson.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I can't beat. He gave us thieves in the wrestling match,
not even clothes.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
But John Jones and I for seven figures in the
wrestling match. That is a ten zero match every single time.
I know it, and he knows it. That's why it
ain't happening. So don't get your hopes up. Alfredo's not lying.
He's telling you the truth. He is trying to work
behind the scenes, but now it's not happening because he
(11:27):
just won't do it. Don't let him lie to you,
all right, Till next time, Guys like subscribe to your
friend to tell their friends that DC's got a YouTube
channel of doing things just like this, keeping eye for
my guys. Academy Fight Club fights coming up. Dmitri go
have in Fury FC at the end of the month.
Jacobe Smith fighting UFC Fight night, Oklahoma City, and we
(11:48):
have some other guys very young on the way up.
Make sure you guys are tuning in until next time, Peace,
