Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah. I saw your father when you first won to Belot.
This guy was very happy. Yeah, very proud of these guys.
Big leg you guy.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You know he's still doing his farm, green farm here.
Just called me today morning. You said tomato is.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Ready, tomatoes already. He's excited about tomatoes. You fight with

Speaker 4 (02:38):
He doesn't care too much about this what you mean, man,
He's not on sports. You know, he's just hard work
at all his life. He works his hand.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You know, your whole family. They watched the fights though Mom, dad, kids,
Mom can't watch.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Mom never watched and never again like after if I
ain't and I would watch.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Even if you win, she doesn't go back and watch it.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
And why I don't know what she don't like?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
So my mom used to go and the whole time
she was kind of like like this, you know, eyes down, scared.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
My mama go outside the house and she woke around
the garden.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, around where I live.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And when I won, somebody like from the odes at
the house to go like crazy, you know, and she understands.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Didn't she understand you when she goes back inside. Now
now she can like sit and be comfortable.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
She noticed too much.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, so Las Vegas though training camp? How was that
we spoke at? I think we spoke at the last
paper view. You were a little concerned about how biep
losing his mind during training camp? Did he lose his mind?
And how was the training camp?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Why you come through rather than I I go this
crazy month gymnastics something.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Not even gymnastics. No excuses, just like it's impossible you
go to Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Why last Vegas? It's very far, fifty minutes by flight
from your house.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, but if I go to the fly. I never
know if maybe they threw me out. They threw.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
The crazy and you can't help people.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Bro, Why they kick him out? Like this is crazy?
Why do you do this to my guy? I don't
know what is this? Number one bullshit?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Disrespectrespect?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
But I understand if you if they kick you out
from this emerging X because you're so big.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Maybe don't do that. Don't be disrespectful. Don't be disrespectful.
I get help because you need strength to pull the
bar a little bit big.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Now you can move to my cho.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But all you gotta do is pull the lever. That's it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
But people have to go from the shed.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
But once I jump, once I pull, I go, you
go first? I go first? You go first?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Are you go last?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You wait? I help everybody? Biep go last too. So
what happened is like these people from the front day
of this airline couples disrespect for Dave took the worst guy.
This guy's the best guy to be in there. It's
cool to this man, it's crazy. But how was the
camp camp?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
It's really hard, man, it was hard.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
And I like the training in Vegas UCPI like.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Old tear upe foods, everything it's good to know training.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That brand new facilities, recovery train.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Training like you see PI team.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
It's so good, you know, thank you everyone from your
CIPI that help us a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And we have everything but we need in last camp.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
In Vegas, when you weigh your camps, your last couple
of camps in Dagistan to this one, like is this
something you're going to be doing more going forward coming
out to Las Vegas and do your camps.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
We're thinking where we can make the camp, you know, and.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Vegas or San Jose. And because this time three got cold,
it's called also Jimmy school sometimes and because it become
like big team, like three guys fighting, that's why we
sh the coach and we choose the Vegas.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Vegas honestly one of the it's.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
A great place for training, especially right now with the
p I. It's a great place.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, everything islam.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You're fighting on monts Rukian again the first time, right,
even we did right when you came back from fight,
we all make fun like, oh you lose a round,
you do this just he said, brother, I went every
round like I won three rounds to zero. But he
fought you on short notice. Do you anticipate a much
different fight this time than he got in the last fight?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Man?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Maybe first time, I'm a little bit underestimating because I
don't know these guys, even not I signed him, even.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
He wasn't signed before he fought you.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
They looking looking for opponents for him. Me.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
That's why he signed him that because no one from
US or other country want to come to Russia and fighters,
you know, That's why at that time we signed him
and he grew up more experienced. Now like he's a
big guy. Now you know, he's big, big experience and
one of the best in our division.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
In that first fight, it seemed as though he was
more willing to wrestle you offensively. Most people shy away
from that. They just think defend Islam's takedowns, right, So
then they're kind of on their heels the whole time
because they're taking shot shot shot, which ultimately leads to
you being better with your hands. Do you anticipate he's
(07:41):
gonna be trying to wrestle you again in this.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Fight, because all his fight he has same style.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
If you look coming at nine ten fight you have
in years right now, it's he have always same style
with everybody. You go away with the striking a little bit,
and when some by they tried to push him, go
to take it down. That's why, because why he number one?
Why I am at the champion because he have good
(08:08):
skills in the wrestling, because I have good skills in
the wrestling. Who have good skills in the wrestling, they
control the division.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You know, it is universally thought. You know that means universe,
Like everybody believes this that this is the toughest fight
today for Islam. Do you agree the first one, this
one this weekend is the toughest fight that you'll see.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Nobody will know, you know, nobody know some of the
fights is for example, when I was fighting with the
h Thibau Glason Thibau, in my mind, I prepare like
myself for the very hard fight, you know, but it
was to go easy, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And I remember that we fought together that you knocked
them out. Yeah yeah yeah, straight level. But you get
the bones, you knock him out good, you get bonus.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
And you what you did submission ambition not sumbition.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
No submission. This was against Rumbol Johnson a vocally like
the mirror okay, yeah, grinding pound.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
They don't give me a bonus, they'd give you a bonus.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
No, I thought you got the bonus you know that night.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I don't get that.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I wonder why why you get the bonus. I don't know.
You're a rich guy. Now you don't need the bonus.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Now now I don't need but at that time I
need that bonus.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You have to come to my room. I'm not deserved man.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And give you the fifty grand. Yes, so you're telling
me right now if you get a bonus over Umar,
right you, you'll take the fifty grand and go give
it to Umar tag hear Tagar, So you would go
get he would not do that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Get on some like crazy things.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
But you didn't do a crazy thing. You hit a
while one punch.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I came out sleep. Okay, more than.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
If maybe you do like spinning back fist twice like
this guy in in Abu Dhabi. Okay, I give him
the money. But if you only do one punch and
I do the same thing, we do the same thing. Punch,
just punch. What did you what did I hit him
with my fist? What did you hit the guy with
(10:13):
your fists? It's the same thing, right, Like there's no
reason to give you the fifty grand You know what

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Speaking of your last couple, your last fight, his last
fight one were you were you happy with the performance
looking back on it against O'Malley and what did you
take from that fight where Umar fought Corey Sanhagen uh
and became the number one contender when you were studying him,
what did you see that you think that you guys
can take advantage of.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Were you happy with your performance? And what did you
think of his last performance against san Jagan? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (20:33):
I bet Shomali show them Ali was UH champion?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
And was that a hard fight?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
No?
Speaker 7 (20:40):
No hard fight? But he has a knockout power. He
can knock out everybody, you know, anybody you know, not everybody. Yeah,
he landed you, he will knock you out. So that
was risky fight for sure. But we have a great,
great training camp and uh, good plans and and yeah
(21:01):
I beat him easy way and it wasn't hard. I
had to watch Umor's fight.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah he did. He did good.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I guess Cory Sahangan and he beat number two guy.
And then and then you know, Umar is a good fighter,
well rounded. You know he can wrestling, can do grappling,
and you know he is a good stryker also. Then, yeah,
that was just one good fight against ranked opponent.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
You think that he should have fought more guys to
get to the title.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Place, Yes, at least one more, like he was supposed
to fight Songy. Don't and then yes, bro, just fight Songy.
Don't stay busy and uh don't pull out and just
prove it like the rest of us, you know, like
we deserve it. And you know that that that's that's
that was my thing.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
How is your life changed that she became the champion?
Speaker 7 (21:59):
Uh? Life, Uh, not much. I'm still the same guy.
I'm still living the same house. And I still have
the same people around me. And uh, but of course
I get so much respect, so much loud, so much
support as I'm a champion and uh, you know, like
now I am. How are you saying? Work? I mean
(22:22):
the you guys, what's they called you guys?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Aljoe, No translate this? He's in our world realm like
real like you are now champion with everybody else champion.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You're a great champion.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
But I'm a champion to yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Same category. Yeah. You know when I went to your
house after the fight and you were running the next day,
it tells me how much you live this life of
a champion. What would it mean to you to be
the guy in Umar and Mega Metal that's undefeated, that
is you know, it's almost like it's almost like he's
(23:11):
the champion right the way people talk, it's almost like
he's the champion. What would it mean to you to
stop and shut all that up and keep your belt?
Because ultimately it's always about keeping the belt.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Right, You're right?
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Uh, you make good point that, Yeah, exactly, I'm a
focus of win this fight and people will realize again
because people doured me even before Malis fight, even before
Hanns fight before Peterian's fight, and I mean I was
underdog many times, but all I have to I want
(23:49):
to just just win for my friends, my team, and
people will realize.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Is he the underdog? Are you underdog minus?
Speaker 7 (24:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
That's crazy. That serves as motivational, right Listen. I wasn't
underdog fighting Anthony Johnson two times, and it was really
like motivating for me to train harder and be like,
I'm gonna shut everybody up. I was the champion and
I was the underdog. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Interesting, but no, it's not. This is I don't pay
attention to this because there's so many people. They have
own opinions, and especially UMA's fans are acting crazy. I
have to blog so many people every day too, like
because they just disrespect me man. And then yeah, I'm
(24:47):
just focused on myself. Yeah, underdog because I don't. I don't,
I don't. I'm not focused of these people and this
who makes odds and stuff like this because.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
They don't fight. They don't going the fight, you know.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
And then you know nuts, Yeah, so this is what's maries.
I have to show up and I believe hard work.
I was working hard, and uh I will I believe
hard work would pays off, and I will be.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
What does the perfect fight look like, morob, like you
just taking him down over and over? Like what is
like the perfect fight? Because I've seen you almost render
guy's helpless right like you shot so many times on
that it looked like he was almost like watching the
clock to see when the time would run out, so
he did not to defend takedowns anymore, or what like
the perfect night in with you beating him in the striking.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Perfect night would be punch his face much as like
a lot a lot of punches in the face, damaging
in your head.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Last one before I let you go. So I follow
you on Instagram. I think you're like insanely I think
you're like insanely funny. I like when you were slapping
that girl was asked he said, he said, can I
touch this? I she's boring in front of you.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
That's me if I get.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I can I touch this? It was so funny, dude.
But I saw you outside of the p I one time,
like you got locked out, Like you got locked out
of the p I. Happened this training camp multiple times happened.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
That was the first time when I posted. But it
happened after this.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
What is the UFC said to you about this? Just
like saying the p I like want to make sure
y'all separated.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
I am sorry, man, we love you, but is inside.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
I have, so they don't give you guys like appointment
times in terms of like and you can go, you can.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Usually how it is, you know, I training training, I
finished training at Synthic at one pm, and right after
training I go to p I sholler treatment and then
yeah if I want, like what's that called recovery recovery? Yeah, yeah,
(27:23):
and then or maybe nighttime training after But now every time,
not every time, but a couple of times someone was
there and the security I guess there was a prey
to something.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Like you might fight, yeah, but you don't get paid
to fight in p I.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Yeah, p I, yeah, p I respect p I also
a lot. And but I was at that time, I
was really mad about and so.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You were going to at the PR. So the security
made the right choice, but not letting you in the
security actually did the right ding.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
Yeah, but I still I still I will still previously
respectful they don't let me in.

Big leg you guy.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You know he's still doing his farm, green farm here.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
He doesn't care too much about this what you mean, man,
He's not on sports. You know, he's just hard work
at all his life. He works his hand.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You know, your whole family. They watched the fights though Mom, dad, kids,
Mom can't watch.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Mom never watched and never again like after if I
ain't and I would watch.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Even if you win, she doesn't go back and watch it.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
And why I don't know what she don't like?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
So my mom used to go and the whole time
she was kind of like like this, you know, eyes down, scared.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
My mama go outside the house and she woke around
the garden.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, around where I live.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And when I won, somebody like from the odes at
the house to go like crazy, you know, and she understands.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Didn't she understand you when she goes back inside. Now
now she can like sit and be comfortable.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
She noticed too much.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, so Las Vegas though training camp? How was that
we spoke at? I think we spoke at the last
paper view. You were a little concerned about how biep
losing his mind during training camp? Did he lose his mind?
And how was the training camp?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Why you come through rather than I I go this
crazy month gymnastics something.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Not even gymnastics. No excuses, just like it's impossible you
go to Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Why last Vegas? It's very far, fifty minutes by flight
from your house.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, but if I go to the fly. I never
know if maybe they threw me out. They threw.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
The crazy and you can't help people.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Bro, Why they kick him out? Like this is crazy?
Why do you do this to my guy? I don't
know what is this? Number one bullshit?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Disrespectrespect?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
But I understand if you if they kick you out
from this emerging X because you're so big.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Maybe don't do that. Don't be disrespectful. Don't be disrespectful.
I get help because you need strength to pull the
bar a little bit big.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Now you can move to my cho.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But all you gotta do is pull the lever. That's it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
But people have to go from the shed.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
But once I jump, once I pull, I go, you
go first? I go first? You go first?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Are you go last?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You wait? I help everybody? Biep go last too. So
what happened is like these people from the front day
of this airline couples disrespect for Dave took the worst guy.
This guy's the best guy to be in there. It's
cool to this man, it's crazy. But how was the
camp camp?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
It's really hard, man, it was hard.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
And I like the training in Vegas UCPI like.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Old tear upe foods, everything it's good to know training.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That brand new facilities, recovery train.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Training like you see PI team.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
It's so good, you know, thank you everyone from your
CIPI that help us a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And we have everything but we need in last camp.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
In Vegas, when you weigh your camps, your last couple
of camps in Dagistan to this one, like is this
something you're going to be doing more going forward coming
out to Las Vegas and do your camps.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
We're thinking where we can make the camp, you know, and.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Vegas or San Jose. And because this time three got cold,
it's called also Jimmy school sometimes and because it become
like big team, like three guys fighting, that's why we
sh the coach and we choose the Vegas.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Vegas honestly one of the it's.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
A great place for training, especially right now with the
p I. It's a great place.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, everything islam.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You're fighting on monts Rukian again the first time, right,
even we did right when you came back from fight,
we all make fun like, oh you lose a round,
you do this just he said, brother, I went every
round like I won three rounds to zero. But he
fought you on short notice. Do you anticipate a much
different fight this time than he got in the last fight?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Man?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Maybe first time, I'm a little bit underestimating because I
don't know these guys, even not I signed him, even.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
He wasn't signed before he fought you.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
They looking looking for opponents for him. Me.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
That's why he signed him that because no one from
US or other country want to come to Russia and fighters,
you know, That's why at that time we signed him
and he grew up more experienced. Now like he's a
big guy. Now you know, he's big, big experience and
one of the best in our division.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
In that first fight, it seemed as though he was
more willing to wrestle you offensively. Most people shy away
from that. They just think defend Islam's takedowns, right, So
then they're kind of on their heels the whole time
because they're taking shot shot shot, which ultimately leads to
you being better with your hands. Do you anticipate he's
(07:41):
gonna be trying to wrestle you again in this.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Fight, because all his fight he has same style.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
If you look coming at nine ten fight you have
in years right now, it's he have always same style
with everybody. You go away with the striking a little bit,
and when some by they tried to push him, go
to take it down. That's why, because why he number one?
Why I am at the champion because he have good
(08:08):
skills in the wrestling, because I have good skills in
the wrestling. Who have good skills in the wrestling, they
control the division.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You know, it is universally thought. You know that means universe,
Like everybody believes this that this is the toughest fight
today for Islam. Do you agree the first one, this
one this weekend is the toughest fight that you'll see.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Nobody will know, you know, nobody know some of the
fights is for example, when I was fighting with the
h Thibau Glason Thibau, in my mind, I prepare like
myself for the very hard fight, you know, but it
was to go easy, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And I remember that we fought together that you knocked
them out. Yeah yeah yeah, straight level. But you get
the bones, you knock him out good, you get bonus.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
And you what you did submission ambition not sumbition.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
No submission. This was against Rumbol Johnson a vocally like
the mirror okay, yeah, grinding pound.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
They don't give me a bonus, they'd give you a bonus.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
No, I thought you got the bonus you know that night.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I don't get that.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I wonder why why you get the bonus. I don't know.
You're a rich guy. Now you don't need the bonus.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Now now I don't need but at that time I
need that bonus.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You have to come to my room. I'm not deserved man.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And give you the fifty grand. Yes, so you're telling
me right now if you get a bonus over Umar,
right you, you'll take the fifty grand and go give
it to Umar tag hear Tagar, So you would go
get he would not do that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Get on some like crazy things.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
But you didn't do a crazy thing. You hit a
while one punch.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I came out sleep. Okay, more than.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
If maybe you do like spinning back fist twice like
this guy in in Abu Dhabi. Okay, I give him
the money. But if you only do one punch and
I do the same thing, we do the same thing. Punch,
just punch. What did you what did I hit him
with my fist? What did you hit the guy with
(10:13):
your fists? It's the same thing, right, Like there's no
reason to give you the fifty grand You know what
shoes this is?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I don't care.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
No next time, do here someone some other?

But I think, but I think Morob should have fought
for the title. Then why he.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Right he was no, no, no, no, you're confused?

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Las Vegas finished in the p I. Okay, Las Vegas
have placed only in.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
P I No, I get it. But like he couldn't
go inside because I think they were there. I think
they were working actively to keep you guys separated.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
They take care of it.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
To me, they take it over with him when they
tell him go home, will come to care?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Really?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Rather, you can do you think he can do something
with me.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Speaking of your last couple, your last fight, his last
fight one were you were you happy with the performance
looking back on it against O'Malley and what did you
take from that fight where Umar fought Corey Sanhagen uh
and became the number one contender when you were studying him,
what did you see that you think that you guys
can take advantage of.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Were you happy with your performance? And what did you
think of his last performance against san Jagan? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (20:33):
I bet Shomali show them Ali was UH champion?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
And was that a hard fight?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
No?
Speaker 7 (20:40):
No hard fight? But he has a knockout power. He
can knock out everybody, you know, anybody you know, not everybody. Yeah,
he landed you, he will knock you out. So that
was risky fight for sure. But we have a great,
great training camp and uh, good plans and and yeah
(21:01):
I beat him easy way and it wasn't hard. I
had to watch Umor's fight.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah he did. He did good.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I guess Cory Sahangan and he beat number two guy.
And then and then you know, Umar is a good fighter,
well rounded. You know he can wrestling, can do grappling,
and you know he is a good stryker also. Then, yeah,
that was just one good fight against ranked opponent.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
You think that he should have fought more guys to
get to the title.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Place, Yes, at least one more, like he was supposed
to fight Songy. Don't and then yes, bro, just fight Songy.
Don't stay busy and uh don't pull out and just
prove it like the rest of us, you know, like
we deserve it. And you know that that that's that's
that was my thing.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
How is your life changed that she became the champion?
Speaker 7 (21:59):
Uh? Life, Uh, not much. I'm still the same guy.
I'm still living the same house. And I still have
the same people around me. And uh, but of course
I get so much respect, so much loud, so much
support as I'm a champion and uh, you know, like
now I am. How are you saying? Work? I mean
(22:22):
the you guys, what's they called you guys?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Aljoe, No translate this? He's in our world realm like
real like you are now champion with everybody else champion.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You're a great champion.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
But I'm a champion to yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Same category. Yeah. You know when I went to your
house after the fight and you were running the next day,
it tells me how much you live this life of
a champion. What would it mean to you to be
the guy in Umar and Mega Metal that's undefeated, that
is you know, it's almost like it's almost like he's
(23:11):
the champion right the way people talk, it's almost like
he's the champion. What would it mean to you to
stop and shut all that up and keep your belt?
Because ultimately it's always about keeping the belt.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Right, You're right?
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Uh, you make good point that, Yeah, exactly, I'm a
focus of win this fight and people will realize again
because people doured me even before Malis fight, even before
Hanns fight before Peterian's fight, and I mean I was
underdog many times, but all I have to I want
(23:49):
to just just win for my friends, my team, and
people will realize.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Is he the underdog? Are you underdog minus?
Speaker 7 (24:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
That's crazy. That serves as motivational, right Listen. I wasn't
underdog fighting Anthony Johnson two times, and it was really
like motivating for me to train harder and be like,
I'm gonna shut everybody up. I was the champion and
I was the underdog. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Interesting, but no, it's not. This is I don't pay
attention to this because there's so many people. They have
own opinions, and especially UMA's fans are acting crazy. I
have to blog so many people every day too, like
because they just disrespect me man. And then yeah, I'm
(24:47):
just focused on myself. Yeah, underdog because I don't. I don't,
I don't. I'm not focused of these people and this
who makes odds and stuff like this because.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
They don't fight. They don't going the fight, you know.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
And then you know nuts, Yeah, so this is what's maries.
I have to show up and I believe hard work.
I was working hard, and uh I will I believe
hard work would pays off, and I will be.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
What does the perfect fight look like, morob, like you
just taking him down over and over? Like what is
like the perfect fight? Because I've seen you almost render
guy's helpless right like you shot so many times on
that it looked like he was almost like watching the
clock to see when the time would run out, so
he did not to defend takedowns anymore, or what like
the perfect night in with you beating him in the striking.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Perfect night would be punch his face much as like
a lot a lot of punches in the face, damaging
in your head.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Last one before I let you go. So I follow
you on Instagram. I think you're like insanely I think
you're like insanely funny. I like when you were slapping
that girl was asked he said, he said, can I
touch this? I she's boring in front of you.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
That's me if I get.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I can I touch this? It was so funny, dude.
But I saw you outside of the p I one time,
like you got locked out, Like you got locked out
of the p I. Happened this training camp multiple times happened.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
That was the first time when I posted. But it
happened after this.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
What is the UFC said to you about this? Just
like saying the p I like want to make sure
y'all separated.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
I am sorry, man, we love you, but is inside.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
We can let you in.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
I'm like, bro, I haven't enjoy I have appointment.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I have, so they don't give you guys like appointment
times in terms of like and you can go, you can.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Usually how it is, you know, I training training, I
finished training at Synthic at one pm, and right after
training I go to p I sholler treatment and then
yeah if I want, like what's that called recovery recovery? Yeah, yeah,
(27:23):
and then or maybe nighttime training after But now every time,
not every time, but a couple of times someone was
there and the security I guess there was a prey
to something.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Like you might fight, yeah, but you don't get paid
to fight in p I.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Yeah, p I, yeah, p I respect p I also
a lot. And but I was at that time, I
was really mad about and so.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You were going to at the PR. So the security
made the right choice, but not letting you in the
security actually did the right ding.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
Yeah, but I still I still I will still previously
respectful they don't let me in.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, you're man. Thank you for checking with me. You
are the best.
