Speaker 1 (01:25):
Let's go. All right, guys, good morning, it is Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
I'm in Las Vegas Contenda Series tonight, but before I
wanted to do a brand new episode brought to 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. Hey, when we talk about slowing down,
he may want to slow down.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
With the world.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Ain't slowing down after what he did on Saturday, Terrence
Bud Crawford, after that masterful performance against Canelo Alvarez, Obviously
you will have a number of suitors that want a
piece of the Bud business. You want a piece of
the Bud business, you want to fight Terrence Crawford. One

(02:16):
person that comes to mind or that is very open
about wanting to fight Darrence Crawford has been our champion
at lightweight, former featherweight champion Elliot Toaporia. On the surface, right,
it looks and feels to us because to us, MMA
is massive, It's huge. We believe the whole world pays

(02:39):
attention to our champions. So on the face, on the surface,
it looks like iliots to Pouria. In our world, we
saw Connor McGregor do it against Floyd Mayweather, who had
won forty eight fights forty nine fights. We saw him
get it done. He was popular. There are a lot
of similarities between him and Connor Ilio. I mean, why

(03:01):
can't it happen on the face, Then when you start
looking into it a little bit more, you gotta really
start to be truthful with yourself.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
And everything around it. Now.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I think Terrence Crawford probably said it best when he
was speaking Ariojani. But and I will show you that
club later. I disagree to a point, but I do
agree with him a little bit. One iliots, the poor
you started talking about him and couldn't that little before
the fight. This is nothing new, guys, everybody fighters. I've
been doing that forever. Hell Nate Diaz set him and

(03:33):
Bud Crawford next.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
That right, star power. Nate's a massive star boxing ability.
For as good as Nate may be, him and Bud Crawford,
that's not anything I want to see because Nate doesn't
knock people out Illio does.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
So you start going, well, maybe maybe.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Or you at least know that people can sell that,
people can sell the idea that maybe he can knock
him out.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
What I bet that Elliot's and poor he could knock
Terrence Craftord out? No chance?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
What if I had to bet Elliots to poy versus
Terres Crawford. I'm betting Terrece Crawford. I mean, he's the
best boxer in the world and this is what he
does and he's done his entire life.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
But we also knew that about Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
We knew right deep down that Connor McGregor was not
going to knock off Floyd Mayweather. But because of what
we had seen him do inside of the octagon, we
had made him what we had seen him do to
all those great fighters in MMA. When he walked into
that rate, people thought he had a chance. He didn't
really have a chance. Connor never had a chance against

(04:39):
Floyd Miweather, and it would feel that way with the
poor you. But you could at least tell that there's
a chance because of how good he is in boxing
and how he knocks people out inside the UFC. Initially,
I thought Bud Crawford would just no sell illiot to
pour you right, when you're the King and everybody's calling

(05:01):
your name, you can literally just ignore them and nobody
will say anything about it. But Bud Crawford isn't one
to ignore stuff. Til told the story about how his
mama pay kids to fight him growing up. Budz from Nebraska, Omaha.
This dude's a street kid. He ain't running away from
a fight. So when a guy keeps yelling his name,

(05:21):
he has something to say.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
This is what he told Ariel Hawane whenever he was
on the Hawani Show on Monday. To be honest, I've
never even seen his dude fight. I ain't eve gonna lie.
You know, I'm not worried about that guy at all.
You know, he's not nowhere near on the level of
Connor McGregor. Let's be real, stop it.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
So as you see right there, Bud's kind of saying
I didn't even know who Ilia was.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Bud saying I don't even know who Ilia was. Right,
He said that he.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
He met Iliot to Pouriau at a UFC event and
Ilia walked up to him shook his hand, and told him,
uh something, and then he said Iliot then goes to
the internet and starts talking about knocking him out. He said,
I didn't even know who the guy was. Terrece Crawford
is saying, I don't know who Eliot Theforey is. Listen, guys,

(06:14):
I gotta tell you something.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I know Bud Crawford. I know Bud Crawford's son sons.
They wrestle.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I know Bud Wreussell. I know Bud loves MMA. I
know that Bud watches MMA. That's where Bud's line to y'all.
He knows who Eliot the four he is. Bud knows
who Illio is because he watches, and people in his
circle know who he is because they watch. Because I
remember going to one of his training sessions and everybody
was talking taking pictures.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
D C D C DC. I've been retired for five years.
The sport's bigger today than when I was fighting. But
they watch, they watch. He knows who Illiot is. I
think that's this way of no selling.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Ilios saying this guy's not on the level because Connor
got it done because he was a massive star. I
agree there, He's not Connor yet. He isn't Conny McGregor.
He carries himself like Connor in a lot of ways.
He's a true professional. People are tapped into him. His
country loves him, so many MMA fans love him. But
I don't think that he has that appeal of Connor McGregor. Next,

(07:17):
so I see what Budd is doing. I say he's going. Well,
not yet, he's not there. But in terms of a
real guy that can box, that's Illiot's to pour you
for MMA fighters. He has that ability. We saw Francis
go out there and fights the fury and that soult
Eliot's to pour you to me is the biggest star
to Francis and Gondu. Maybe I'm wrong, but right now

(07:37):
I think he was the biggest star right in France.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
But the reason people believe in Big Frank was because
he could knock people out.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
If you can knock people out, people will buy it
with the chance that you could get it done again,
someone that who may be superior to you in a
certain skill set. All right, guys, we're extremely excited to
announce our new partner and sponsor, hard Rock Bet.

response to Bud, Now, Hey, all of this seems petty, right,
Iliot said, Yeah, you say you're an m MA fan,
but you don't even know who I am.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
The first time we met, you told me good luck
this week with your fight. Your memory fails you and
soon your chin will two. I'll represent the entire MMA
community pound for pound number one in real fights versus
the pound for pound number one boxer.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
In the world.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Hey, guys, Bud is saying it ain't worth his time,
but is staying he's not on the level. But Iliot
to Pouria in this right now, guys is winning. He's
winning because he has him talking about him in every time,
every time Terrence Crawford speaks Ilya's name, every time Terrence
Crawford addresses Illio to Poria, every time Ilia addresses Terrence

(10:18):
and he responds, Ilia wins. That's another step closer to
getting to what he wants. Now, should he fight Terres Crawford. No,
I don't believe that he's gonna be able to handle
Terres Crawford in a boxing ring, but I've doubted Iliot
to poor you before, and.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
He has exceeded everything I could have ever imagined inside
the opting on.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
But when you look at what Budd didt the Canelo,
you look at what he's done over the entirety of
his career, this guy's just next level boxer, and it's
hard to step into that world and expect a guy
from our sport, a guy who spent equal amounts of
time grappling, boxing, wrestling and everything else, to go and
be the guy that has done nothing but box his

(11:00):
entire life.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's why we haven't seen it yet.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
And that's why our guys that go over to boxing
after they're done with fighting do well, but they don't
ascend to become world champion, because there are kids that
grow up with that being their life.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
The Daggers.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Towney said, Hey, the reason guys are winning now is
because we have no choice. This changes our life. In
America are other places you have an option. Terrence didn't
have an option, not in Oma. Terrence had to make
this work, and he did that's why he is who
he is today.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I don't know that this fight happens, but I'm telling you, guys,
every time we talk about it, every time they talk
each other's name, the better.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Now, granted, he was on an MMA program show with
Ario Owani, so clearly that was gonna be brought up.
But he's talking Ilia, and he seems annoyed by Ilia.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
So if I'm Ilia's there for you, I continue, I
don't stop, I don't relent, continue to speak Bud Crawford,
especially when my next fight is announced where all eyes
are on me and I'm out there promoting. I'm promoting
my fight, but I'm also promoting the idea that I'm
in line for a super fight in a whole different sport.

(12:15):
That's what I would do if I'm team to pour
you because right now they're winning.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
They're winning, they're winning.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Because but as no clear person who's supposed to fight next,
So that leads to opportunity for a guy like Elliott
to pour you. All right, guys, Hey, until next time, Like,
subscribe and tell you friends about my YouTube channel.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
I'm going crazy right now. We're doing more stuff. We're
starting longer interviews.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
We're doing sit downs because you'll be so excited and
surprised at what we got going.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
We're working, baby, We're working behind the scenes a little
bit right now. We're working.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I know we've been a little slow. We're still working,
and so is Lily. To poor you at least as
plan is in regards to Bud Crawford,
