here the White House, which, by the way, you knew
you were fighting on the White House and you didn't
tell me. That was kind of messed up. Why would
you not tell me, you think? But do you come
up with the No, because you remember you found out
and then like two days after we golf together, it
(02:22):
comes out that you fight at the White House.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
We found out after we golf and before you before
they announced it.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
No, that's not true. Why wouldn't you tell me?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I didn't?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Wait? Let me ask you, what do you trust? Do
you trust me? Or do you think that I would
have reported it? I didn't know. But do you think
I would have reported it? That's what's important to me.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't because you didn't tell me.
You lied to me directly to my face.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I had no idea, bro, guess what happened.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Event Okay, that's awesome. But also I lost the blue
jacket to get.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
This weekend and you had it.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I had it.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I couldn't be there.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
It was a bad crazy a bad group wanted.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I won it last year and then you have it
when I can't be there.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
To Yeah, because you had a professional team anyhow.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Justin Gage, Yeah, my boyfriend college.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You had a professional team.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Me and my boyfriend college. Had you literally have two
pros on your team?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, I until I don't know what you talk about?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Would you?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
You guys didn't do good.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I think people might have cheated. Man. I think like
the other groups weren't holding each other accountable, and like
like certain groups were like over at the turn and
then like five on their afterwards. It was like crazy.
I was like, that doesn't make sense. So we need
to do a little bit better at at monitoring the groups.
And a team gets a chance, Yeah, you guys would
(03:52):
crush the team that won this day.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Well then they wanted with bogies on the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, they want it with Bogies. It was crazy. Anyhow,
justin we're in Washington, DC, the White House. How excited
are you man that you're finally here after what I
believe was was a very tough training camp.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah it was. I'm very excited. I mean, what a life.
I mean, what a It could have never yo. Some
of the biggest events UFC three hundred comin event, first
Paramount plus card main event and now I get the
headline this one.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
But that's all because of the way you fight, right.
Your style lends itself to being in these spots. I
was watching the Countdown show and they were talking about
the approach in the way you and Trevor were talking
about your approach, like, did you make that decision really
that you were going to be an exciting fighter or
are you just finding yourself?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
And I never decided it was an exciting wrestler, which
is very hard to do.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, it really is. It's boring.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
No, dude, don't do that.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
She's boring.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But my fights, my wrestling matches were exciting, you know.
I always had the crowd on.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Their feet, and it's just the way I compete. I
don't know why not.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Sure, Iliot's a Pouria the champion. You and Ilia in
the beginning, this thing was like super calm, patient, we're
in we're in New Jersey, and you guys were giving
each other respect and you were hugging and you were
talking and it was almost a little bit too buddy, buddy.
Right now it's starting to turn right. Do you prefer
(05:22):
this then? The friendly type of fighting? Conor McGregor said
that he struggled to fight Dustin Fourier when he started
being nice to him. It would be easier to fight
him when he hated him.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Do you prefer the I mean yeah, as a competitor,
I would I would prefer this route. But the internet
is a fucking crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy world and it's
not real life. Tell me why, because everything's taken out
of context. Text always looks worse texas, you know, video
because every everybody's putting their own.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So tell me what you said. So tell me what
you said about, But tell me what you say about Well,
I said, that's what started the whole thing. Said.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
He's an annoying little bastard. He can't stop talking about himself.
He probably walks around sniffing his own farts. And I
can understand why she left.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And you were like, you look like this jokingly.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh, it was a joke. I made everybody laugh because
I'm a funny fucking guy.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I don't know if you're that funny.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I'm pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
If you watched the video, it was I said it
completely jests and I was just joking.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But then when it goes into text, it's like, I
know why, Illio. So he he said so, Louise said
it to me. Louise said it to me. He sent
me to no shut up, he sent me to text. Right,
you gotta make a video talk about and all the
highlight the title was justin gategy, says it Illiot to
pour his wife should have left. I swear to out
who the title of the ship he sent me.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
It's the same thing with Sean, same thing with Sean.
Everything's taking out of context.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I was saying that.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You can't go around calling people pedophiles and then expect
an invite, where everyone takes it as me against everything
that he's ever said, when I've never even spoke a word.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
On any of those subjects because I don't know. Shit,
I don't know. I don't talk about you, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, I don't know. I can I get honestly say that,
like we don't. We never talk about those types of
things because why But anyhow.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
He calls everybody a pedophile, talk so much shit, calls,
says crazy racist things to catchp tell, and then he
wants an invite. How are you so smart that you
know the geopolgis of the world, but you're not smart
enough to know if you call people pedophiles, they're not
going to advise you to the fucking fight. Like, it's
really not that difficult. It's not that difficult.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Hey, it's so easy. A caveman can figure it out,
like you. I guess so Justin, But he's mad now right,
He's very He's very he's very upset, regardless of it,
but regardless.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Of it, have been mad.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I was mad when I fall of air and I
felt like ship, Oh really, I love that he's.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
A But why were you mad when you follo all over?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I was just mad that. It wasn't even that I
was mad. I just wanted it so much. I wanted
it so bad. I wanted to beat him.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
So bad because regardless of what the intention was, it
got to this right to now you guys are talking
on Pat McAfee about it. He's talking about your father now.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
He wants to hurt me. It's like, what did you
want to do before?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Why does it lead to poor you annoy you so much?
He seems like it seems like he annoys you. No,
I don't really know him that well. I'm not going
to fight me. I'm not going to fight him.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
He's also spent a lot of time, you know, bashing
me and saying.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
How bad I am and how unworthy I am. Had
a funeral procession for me?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Why are you saying a funeral profession spoke to my father?
Why do you say a funeral procession for you?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Whatever, it's fucking stupid.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Oh that thing, that thing I saw that. I saw that.
I thought maybe the UFC thought that was like a
cool idea with the video or something. Are you sure
that was his or was that the UFC? Just yeah,
I know it just seemed like something I mean, right,
it just seemed like some promotional ship. I don't know,
(09:08):
but you said he talked about your dad. We were
in the fight of meeting earlier.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
He had words to da Oh, he spoke to your udio.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He wrote a text to my dad say he's gonna
look at him, and I don't I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Even know what the said.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
It was yesterday, it was no, I'm saying it was
yesterday when he said that he's gonna look at your
father after he knocks you.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
He said, who's the short right now? It's like you're
still gonna be sure, you stupid motherfucker, Like you're not
gonna grow.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
What is wrong with you? Dude? What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So he said, he said, he knocked me out, look
at my dad and say who's the short one now?
And I guess I will be below him if he
does knock me out.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But eventually you're gonna stand out. Sure you're gonna stand
up afterwards. Yeah, that's so you're so stupid. That's actually
so stupid. That is actually funny. That is funny. That
is funny. Okay, But all the bad blood, right, all
the all the arguing in the fighting blood on my side.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I really again, I don't let another man control my emotions.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It's whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
But that's the best thing about this job is that
you get to fight.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, and I get Yeah, we get to fight each
other on Sunday. That's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And that's in What matters is the fight. So when
you look at him as a fighter, right, you have
to respect who he is as a fighter.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Absolutely. I've never said anything.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Bad about who he is as a fighter. I don't
even know him as a person. I'm just you know,
in general, he seems.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Like he's fool of himself.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
You know, I don't like it. But he's an amazing fighter.
His last three winds have been spectacular. He's knocked out
two guys that be me as a matter of fact,
And so.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, yeah, this is a huge test, huge test for me.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Huge here of climb, huge underdog, and everything I could
ask for is this.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Poor is a tremendous boxer. Right, how do you get
him off of that? His stance is very like, he's
very steady in his stance. How do you get him
off of that? Off of that that, out of that
boxing stance? Do you go back to throwing more leg
kicks like you used to throw so much early in
your career.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I have not said a word on strategy or method,
and I'm still.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So you got some secrets? No, no, my coach, Well,
I mean, all we gotta do is watch your YouTube.
You've got to roll to the fight on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You don't see one. I gave him what I want
him to see. I know he's watching all of it,
so I showed him what I.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Want to do. You think that Illiot's apooria is watching
your YouTube?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
The only way he saw the video of my dad
talking was by watching my video that was on your
YouTube channel, my personal YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Hmm ah man, I don't know, Justin, I don't know
if he's watching a YouTube channel anyhow.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You won't see him sitting down watching my YouTube channel.
There's been videos of it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Eliot did his camp at a boxing boxing academy for
this fight, and it seemed like he said he was
training like a professional boxer. You're an NCAA wrestling all American.
Am I gonna see more wrestling? Are we gonna see
more wrestling from you this weekend?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I mean he has most of his wins by submission,
so he's obviously a rapper.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
But the knockouts, the last few have been all knockouts.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Three have been knockouts. Yeah, yeah, he has seven knockouts total.
I have seventeen. I have twenty of twenty five.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
So you have seventeen knockouts out of twenty five wins.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
No, I have twenty knockouts of twenty five wins, something
like that in nineteen.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, justin You're the underdog in this fight, right, This
is like the American tale, Right that can end in
what could be a fairy tale fighting at the White
House as the American guy as the underdog, Like the
story's all set up. What would it mean for you?
Are to you if you won this fight this weekend?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It is a lot of pressure, and I love pressure.
But you see on the golf course how much I
love pressure. When the shots need to be made, I
make the shots. But this is again a huge task,
huge underdog. I'm one hundred dog for a reason. This
guy is spectacular. His skills are world class. And I've
been in the top five of the UFC lightweight division
since twenty seventeen, so obviously I.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Am world class. And we are all huge fans of
this sport.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And he keeps us on the edge of our seat
because if anything can happen at any moment, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
There to make that happen.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Is there a responsibility, right, You're the American.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Champion, all that and make it, you know, extra pressure,
There's already plenty of pressure. That's why I would never,
you know, recommend this, recommend this job to my enemy
because there's so much pressure, and it puts a lot
of takes a lot from you to be able to
stand in there and and walk through it. And you know,
you experienced it. Every fighter's experienced it, and it comes
(13:59):
with a lot of you want to do so good
for everybody that believes in you, but you ultimately don't
control everything, and so that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And do good for the country now.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I mean I've always I've always represented my country well,
win or lose.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I'm going to represent my country as it should be
represented with heart, with tenacity, and I'm going to go
out there and try to win.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Do you buy into the Do you buy into the
idea that the US is hosting the World Cup in
soccer this year the American team will do better because
of that. Do you buy into the idea that you
could be boosted by the atmosphere are the arena in
which you're fighting at.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Well, I fought in Arizona and that was that was
home field advantage, and it did not help. And so
I mean, I think again, I'm more mature now. I'm
a lot more, a lot more mature than I was then.
And I do want to I'm gonna show off. I
love to show off and I love to perform until
this is a perfect opportunity to perform for the military
(15:06):
and for the country.
Speaker 3 (15:07):

So tell me what you said. So tell me what
you said about, But tell me what you say about Well,
I said, that's what started the whole thing. Said.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
He's an annoying little bastard. He can't stop talking about himself.
He probably walks around sniffing his own farts. And I
can understand why she left.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And you were like, you look like this jokingly.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh, it was a joke. I made everybody laugh because
I'm a funny fucking guy.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I don't know if you're that funny.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I'm pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
If you watched the video, it was I said it
completely jests and I was just joking.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But then when it goes into text, it's like, I
know why, Illio. So he he said so, Louise said
it to me. Louise said it to me. He sent
me to no shut up, he sent me to text. Right,
you gotta make a video talk about and all the
highlight the title was justin gategy, says it Illiot to
pour his wife should have left. I swear to out
who the title of the ship he sent me.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
It's the same thing with Sean, same thing with Sean.
Everything's taking out of context.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I was saying that.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You can't go around calling people pedophiles and then expect
an invite, where everyone takes it as me against everything
that he's ever said, when I've never even spoke a word.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
On any of those subjects because I don't know. Shit,
I don't know. I don't talk about you, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, I don't know. I can I get honestly say that,
like we don't. We never talk about those types of
things because why But anyhow.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
He calls everybody a pedophile, talk so much shit, calls,
says crazy racist things to catchp tell, and then he
wants an invite. How are you so smart that you
know the geopolgis of the world, but you're not smart
enough to know if you call people pedophiles, they're not
going to advise you to the fucking fight. Like, it's
really not that difficult. It's not that difficult.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Hey, it's so easy. A caveman can figure it out,
like you. I guess so Justin, But he's mad now right,
He's very He's very he's very upset, regardless of it,
but regardless.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Of it, have been mad.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I was mad when I fall of air and I
felt like ship, Oh really, I love that he's.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
A But why were you mad when you follo all over?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I was just mad that. It wasn't even that I
was mad. I just wanted it so much. I wanted
it so bad. I wanted to beat him.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
So bad because regardless of what the intention was, it
got to this right to now you guys are talking
on Pat McAfee about it. He's talking about your father now.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
He wants to hurt me. It's like, what did you
want to do before?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Why does it lead to poor you annoy you so much?
He seems like it seems like he annoys you. No,
I don't really know him that well. I'm not going
to fight me. I'm not going to fight him.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
He's also spent a lot of time, you know, bashing
me and saying.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
How bad I am and how unworthy I am. Had
a funeral procession for me?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Why are you saying a funeral profession spoke to my father?
Why do you say a funeral procession for you?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Whatever, it's fucking stupid.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Oh that thing, that thing I saw that. I saw that.
I thought maybe the UFC thought that was like a
cool idea with the video or something. Are you sure
that was his or was that the UFC? Just yeah,
I know it just seemed like something I mean, right,
it just seemed like some promotional ship. I don't know,
(09:08):
but you said he talked about your dad. We were
in the fight of meeting earlier.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
He had words to da Oh, he spoke to your udio.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He wrote a text to my dad say he's gonna
look at him, and I don't I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Even know what the said.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
It was yesterday, it was no, I'm saying it was
yesterday when he said that he's gonna look at your
father after he knocks you.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
He said, who's the short right now? It's like you're
still gonna be sure, you stupid motherfucker, Like you're not
gonna grow.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
What is wrong with you? Dude? What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So he said, he said, he knocked me out, look
at my dad and say who's the short one now?
And I guess I will be below him if he
does knock me out.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But eventually you're gonna stand out. Sure you're gonna stand
up afterwards. Yeah, that's so you're so stupid. That's actually
so stupid. That is actually funny. That is funny. That
is funny. Okay, But all the bad blood, right, all
the all the arguing in the fighting blood on my side.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I really again, I don't let another man control my emotions.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It's whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
But that's the best thing about this job is that
you get to fight.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, and I get Yeah, we get to fight each
other on Sunday. That's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And that's in What matters is the fight. So when
you look at him as a fighter, right, you have
to respect who he is as a fighter.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Absolutely. I've never said anything.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Bad about who he is as a fighter. I don't
even know him as a person. I'm just you know,
in general, he seems.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Like he's fool of himself.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
You know, I don't like it. But he's an amazing fighter.
His last three winds have been spectacular. He's knocked out
two guys that be me as a matter of fact,
And so.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, yeah, this is a huge test, huge test for me.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Huge here of climb, huge underdog, and everything I could
ask for is this.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Poor is a tremendous boxer. Right, how do you get
him off of that? His stance is very like, he's
very steady in his stance. How do you get him
off of that? Off of that that, out of that
boxing stance? Do you go back to throwing more leg
kicks like you used to throw so much early in
your career.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I have not said a word on strategy or method,
and I'm still.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So you got some secrets? No, no, my coach, Well,
I mean, all we gotta do is watch your YouTube.
You've got to roll to the fight on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You don't see one. I gave him what I want
him to see. I know he's watching all of it,
so I showed him what I.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Want to do. You think that Illiot's apooria is watching
your YouTube?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
The only way he saw the video of my dad
talking was by watching my video that was on your
YouTube channel, my personal YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Hmm ah man, I don't know, Justin, I don't know
if he's watching a YouTube channel anyhow.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You won't see him sitting down watching my YouTube channel.
There's been videos of it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Eliot did his camp at a boxing boxing academy for
this fight, and it seemed like he said he was
training like a professional boxer. You're an NCAA wrestling all American.
Am I gonna see more wrestling? Are we gonna see
more wrestling from you this weekend?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I mean he has most of his wins by submission,
so he's obviously a rapper.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
But the knockouts, the last few have been all knockouts.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Three have been knockouts. Yeah, yeah, he has seven knockouts total.
I have seventeen. I have twenty of twenty five.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
So you have seventeen knockouts out of twenty five wins.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
No, I have twenty knockouts of twenty five wins, something
like that in nineteen.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, justin You're the underdog in this fight, right, This
is like the American tale, Right that can end in
what could be a fairy tale fighting at the White
House as the American guy as the underdog, Like the
story's all set up. What would it mean for you?
Are to you if you won this fight this weekend?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It is a lot of pressure, and I love pressure.
But you see on the golf course how much I
love pressure. When the shots need to be made, I
make the shots. But this is again a huge task,
huge underdog. I'm one hundred dog for a reason. This
guy is spectacular. His skills are world class. And I've
been in the top five of the UFC lightweight division
since twenty seventeen, so obviously I.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Am world class. And we are all huge fans of
this sport.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And he keeps us on the edge of our seat
because if anything can happen at any moment, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
There to make that happen.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Is there a responsibility, right, You're the American.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Champion, all that and make it, you know, extra pressure,
There's already plenty of pressure. That's why I would never,
you know, recommend this, recommend this job to my enemy
because there's so much pressure, and it puts a lot
of takes a lot from you to be able to
stand in there and and walk through it. And you know,
you experienced it. Every fighter's experienced it, and it comes
(13:59):
with a lot of you want to do so good
for everybody that believes in you, but you ultimately don't
control everything, and so that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And do good for the country now.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I mean I've always I've always represented my country well,
win or lose.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I'm going to represent my country as it should be
represented with heart, with tenacity, and I'm going to go
out there and try to win.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Do you buy into the Do you buy into the
idea that the US is hosting the World Cup in
soccer this year the American team will do better because
of that. Do you buy into the idea that you
could be boosted by the atmosphere are the arena in
which you're fighting at.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Well, I fought in Arizona and that was that was
home field advantage, and it did not help. And so
I mean, I think again, I'm more mature now. I'm
a lot more, a lot more mature than I was then.
And I do want to I'm gonna show off. I
love to show off and I love to perform until
this is a perfect opportunity to perform for the military
(15:06):
and for the country.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
So yeah, I think it's gonna help.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
