Speaker 1 (00:01):
The volume. What's up, guys, Welcome to a brand new
episode of Three Rounds. Look, I know it's been a
little bit, but we're back. Baby. It's been a long,
hard training camp. I've been working hard. I've been getting pro.
(00:23):
You know how all the fighters always say, it's the
most important fight of my life. The most important fight
of my life is today, and I've been training that way.
The times arrived. Baby, let's go experience wrong one. So
is Logan Paul fighting Jake Paul? No, guys, no they're not.
(00:48):
They're not fighting. But if you are, to watch what
you saw yesterday, the Paul brothers once again found a
way to get the world up in arms because they
announced something yesterday, right, And with the announcement, it said,
this is the moment that you've been waiting for for
(01:09):
ten years. Right, That's what it said on the announcement,
which looked like a fight poster. I swear to God
when I got it from Luis and Louise fell for it,
I had, guys. Louise fell for it, hook line and sinker.
His text verbatim was, oh my god, are you serious?
(01:31):
This dude is a mark. The Paul brothers got Louis
ass and he's in my chat already fooled, had him fooled.
He's like, oh my god, is this happening. It looked
like a fight poster, but it wasn't right. The one
thing about the Paul brothers, though, is that they do
know how to make an impact. They do know how
(01:52):
to get people talking, and that's exactly what that fight
poster did. Because make no mistake about it, guys, it
was fight poster. You have two guys, one on the left,
one on the right, facing off. They're edited, they're highlighted.
Everything looks like a fight poster. Right. They know what
they're doing. They know how to get you talking, they
(02:15):
know how to make an impact. But according to Mike
Coppinger from ESPN, say the fight guys, they say't a fight.
What they did, though, is they made you believe it
was a fight, right. They gave you the two fighters,
they gave you where you can stream it, HBO, Max
are just Max now. But it's not a case. Mike
(02:38):
Coppinger said. Sources close to the thing told him it's
a reality show. It's a reality show. It's smart, you know.
They tricked a lot of people and they got people
talking because they know the Paul brothers know that if
(03:00):
they say we're gonna fight each other, not many people
believe that two brothers were going to a boxing ring
unless it's Jake and Logan Paul, because they have shown
time and time again that they aren't above anything that
can draw attention. They aren't above anything that's gonna make
them money. They aren't above doing things to kind of
draw the public in. So when they say to people,
(03:23):
we're gonna fight each other, people got excited about it.
Jake the boxer, Logan the WW superstar, who, by the way,
recently said that he is gonna be being a WW
rustler full time. Right with that being said, why did
we believe that he was going to fight? He said
He's going WW. The moment the Netflix deal was announced,
(03:45):
they did a whole little feature on Logan Paul saying,
I've been doing this for a little bit. I've been
part time and I've been this good. Imagine how good
I'm going to be now that I'm gonna be doing
this full time. Guys about staying relevant. It's all about
staying relevant.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Sadly these two know how to do that. They really do,
and I know at times they can be unpleasant. They
can be a bit of a pest, right, They can
kind of get at people, and people don't like that,
especially like true fight fans. They say, Jake Paul is
not a real boxer. Well, Jake Paul, really, he's a
real boxer because everything he has touched on his point
has worked. Right. It worked against Tyron Woodley, it worked
(04:28):
against Anderson Silva, and it worked because of him. Because
if you put Tyron Woodley in and s Silva in
a boxing match, it doesn't work. Or if you put
Anderson Silva in a boxing match against a fury I
don't even know the other guy's name. I think his
name is is uh, what's his name? The fury guy? Uh? Not,
(04:48):
it's not Tyson, It's Tyson's brother. It doesn't work right.
It does not work without Jake Paul because he's that
connective tissue that works. And both of these guys know
how to make things work. And while it may be
unpleasant in most cases, it does pay dividends for the
people that partner up with them and the people that
(05:10):
take chances on the Paul brothers. So it's a reality show,
not a fight. And with the Paul Brothers. You would
imagine a reality show could work, because we are in
twenty twenty five, guys, it works. I mean shit, guys.
(05:32):
The Kardashians are still on from Eperience Round two. Islamahatchev
and Drake is dupleus c. Seriously, seriously, guys, Islama Hotchev
and Drakes duples c are going back and forth. I
(05:52):
know that might sound stupid because I'm talking about a
lightweight in a middleweight. Why with Islama ho Chev and
Drakes do be going back and forth on anything? Considering
that they are so far apart in weight classes? Well,
one bal Mohammed's the wealterweight champion, So if Islam has
any designs of becoming a double champion, one blahas to
(06:16):
either lose his championship or he's got to bypass that
and go to drink ands du plus ce. Because seemingly
these guys don't want to fight each other. They've been
going back and forth because Islam said that he could
go to middleweight and beat the reigning champion. He says
that his height to laws for to middleweight. He believes
(06:38):
that his physical data allows for it to meaning his size,
his strength. He goes I would just need to work
with my specialists, gain muscle mass and add a little weight.
I think that I can try. As I already said
at the press conference after my fight, if they offered
me a fight tomorrow and say they will give me
time to gain weight, I would not turn it down.
(06:59):
I would one hundred percent agree to fight at middleweight.
I'm not saying that I have a better chance that
I can one hundred percent finished due plus ce, but
watching his fights, watching his style, I think that I
have the keys to victory, Make no mistake about it.
This is him being very respectful, right He's being respectful.
(07:23):
He's being respectful of the idea of how big a
challenge that is. Of course, the champion hears that and
he says, it's hard to really think or take it seriously.
Right now. He goes, I've got a big fight coming up,
so I didn't make anything of it. If we get
to a situation where we are not at right now.
He's an incredible fighter, make no mistake about it. He
(07:45):
was so incredibly good against McConnell. He proved once again
why he's the paul best in the world. But I
don't care how good you are. He obviously trains with
one eighty five pounders in the gym, so he knows,
but he doesn't train against me. Believe me, it's not
the same thing. Even on a technical level. The stand up,
his wrestling and grappling is phenomenal. But I would just
(08:07):
overpower him. That's what I think. You know, both of
these gentlemen are being respectful of each other and being
respectful of the other guy. They're both being respectful of
the other guy's skill set, their abilities, and how hard
it would be for them to do what they're saying.
(08:30):
But Drake is due plus c. It's time for us
to stop doubting him. I mean, at some point we
gotta respect him, right. I know it may not look
as appealing to some as they want their world champions
to look, but we just watched him submit Israel Asanya.
(08:52):
We just watched him break him down over the course
of three rounds and get him to a point where
is he got submitted by him something we'd never seen before.
We have seen him beat Sean Strickland, we have seen
him finish Robert Whitaker. At some point we have to
respect Drake is due plus C. I think Islam respects him.
(09:12):
I don't know that Islam would understand how hard it
would be to fight a guy of that size. I
think this guy in my way to twenty to twenty
when he's not making weight. You know, many people talk
about the amount of weight that the Russians cut, and
Islam cuts weight to make one fifty five. But I
(09:36):
don't know that even on his heaviest days, he weighs
one hundred and eighty five. Now, I'm not saying that
I don't think that he can do it. I just
think that it's much harder than I think anyone understands
to go up two weight classes. Pereira did it at
one and he fired to two oh five. But even
(09:57):
the fact that we talk about him going up to heavyweight,
it's kind of crazy. Now. I get he has skills,
but that would be very, very tough. And I believe
you can do anything. You guys know how much I
respect Mahatchev, and I think he can do anything that
he sets his mind to. But that ask is so big,
(10:19):
because again, Dracus has to weigh two fifteen to twenty.
Dracus could never make lightweight, never he I don't know
the last time he Wade won fifty five. So, guys,
I don't know what would happen, but I do know
that there are weight classes for a reason, guys, to
(10:43):
tell as old as time. All right, guys, I think
I might have broke my hand in round one. The
boys heard I broke my hand on the left hook.
But I will fight because I fight for you. Round three.
(11:03):
Alex Pereira is reportedly cornering Sean Strickland for UFC three twelve.
You know, we have this weird thing going on in
mixed martial arts right now where former opponents are now
training together and building these bonds with each other as
(11:25):
they prepare for massive events. One Israel Edisania is fighting
this weekend. He's taking on Na Sardina Maboff. And in
that training camp was Robert Whitaker, a guy that Edisonia
beat twice. Sean Strickland got knocked out by Alex Perera
(11:47):
on Alex Perera's way to a world title, and then
they started training together, and then pereracordered him, so that
becomes a thing. We don't know what those training sessions
look like, but I think what you don't understand as
people on the outside, is it's more than just the training.
It's the bond that's built outside of the training. How
(12:10):
much time are these guys spinning together to build a
relationship once they are outside of the gym. This, to
me tells me that Perera and Strickland are building a
relationship that's very strong. Why because we already know that
Alex Pereira has a fight on the books Las Vegas,
(12:35):
UFC three thirteen. Right. What we do know is that
Alex Pereira is going to be fighting a guy who
could be his most formidable opponent because of the style.
But what we also have to take into effect is
that Perrera feels that his relationship with Strickland is so
(12:56):
strong that he's willing to travel across the world to
corner him. To me, it seems dangerous to me. It
seems risky for Alex to go all the way to
Australia knowing everything that goes into a training camp and
(13:18):
how hard that travel can be on your body when
you're preparing to be or continue to defend your world championship.
So how strong is that bond? Right? How strong is
that bond? How much does Sean Strickland now mean to
Alex Pereira? For him to take that risk, because trust me, guys,
(13:42):
it is a risk. It is a risk when you
look at Uncliath and you look at the way those
guys have been going back and forth, when you look
at the fighting style or the ability, it all boils
down to this. Alex Furer could beat up Onunkliath's legs
as we saw Yambohovich do and him look like he
could not stand. But unclav has that ability to take
(14:03):
him down and hold him down. He said he ain't
gonna do that. It to me would seem like a
massive mistake to not do that, or to anyone in
the world that watches fighting and knows what it takes
to go and get a victory, it seems like Unclia
should use that wrestling. He showed it around four to
five against yan Behovich to win those rounds against Alex Pereyra. Hell,
(14:26):
we saw yan Behovich hold Alex Peyra down for a
round and a half and what still is his most
competitive fights is going up to two oh five. But
to add that, add to that the travel, different time zone,
the sleep patterns and sleep schedule, it's difficult. It's difficult
(14:47):
to add that. So to me, Searn Strickland must be
one of Alex Perera's best friends, because you don't do
that for just anything anybody. Now, one thing I won't
do is questionalt I'm done. I won't question whether or
not he can wrestle. I won't question any of that
anymore because he has proven it time and time again
(15:09):
that whatever he is doing is right and it's allowed
for him to become one of the greatest fighters of
all time. Yes, he is one of the greatest fighters
of all time in the shortest amount of time. I
have ever seen anyone building legacy that is that strong
or a resume that is that strong. Never seen it.
I've never seen someone do what Perrara has done. And
(15:31):
he's a free spirit, and maybe maybe that free spirit
allows for him to be as good as he's been.
This dude's demand and if he gets through this next challenge,
if he gets through un CALIAV, I'm going on the
record and saying that light heavyweight is going to have
a Polton problem for a really long time. We have

Speaker 1 (17:10):
And now for my final thought. The Global Fight League.
Last week they held their initial draft, and if I'm
being quite honest, it was one of the weirdest things
that I've ever seen in my entire life, from the
studio shots with people that I respect sitting at that desk,
(17:31):
Goldberg and Robin and Caroline, to the whole draft, the music.
But I think the thing that shoot out the most
to me was that before the draft was completed, as
it started, if you paid attention, if you were watching closely,
(17:51):
they showed a graphic that showed every single pick completed.
So by watching, you know who was getting drafted, when
they were getting drafted, where they were going to. It
was all done. It was literally all done in the
first ten minutes of the drive. You screen grab it, bang,
(18:16):
you got it. Those all the picks, turn the camera.
It was unreal. So when you launch something new, it's
all about the first impression, and to me, that wasn't
the best first impression. It wasn't not great. And I'm
a guy that's all for more MMA. I wish all
(18:38):
those guys the best, but they've got to be better.
Many of my contemporaries, the people that fought when I did,
and look at me, right, I got gray hair. I
don't look like a guy that's actively competing. But a
lot of those guys that I spent a lot of
time with when I was at the top of the sport,
the guys that sit alongside me at the top of
(18:59):
the sport, they're all a part of this organization, all
of them. So I really want the best for it.
But shit, after last Friday, I honestly don't know if
it could get any worse because it was that bad. Guys.

The volume. What's up, guys, Welcome to a brand new
episode of Three Rounds. Look, I know it's been a
little bit, but we're back. Baby. It's been a long,
hard training camp. I've been working hard. I've been getting pro.
(00:23):
You know how all the fighters always say, it's the
most important fight of my life. The most important fight
of my life is today, and I've been training that way.
The times arrived. Baby, let's go experience wrong one. So
is Logan Paul fighting Jake Paul? No, guys, no they're not.
(00:48):
They're not fighting. But if you are, to watch what
you saw yesterday, the Paul brothers once again found a
way to get the world up in arms because they

Speaker 2 (04:03):
And.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Sadly these two know how to do that. They really do,
and I know at times they can be unpleasant. They
can be a bit of a pest, right, They can
kind of get at people, and people don't like that,
especially like true fight fans. They say, Jake Paul is

not a fight. And with the Paul Brothers. You would
imagine a reality show could work, because we are in
twenty twenty five, guys, it works. I mean shit, guys.
(05:32):
The Kardashians are still on from Eperience Round two. Islamahatchev
and Drake is dupleus c. Seriously, seriously, guys, Islama Hotchev
and Drakes duples c are going back and forth. I
(05:52):
know that might sound stupid because I'm talking about a
lightweight in a middleweight. Why with Islama ho Chev and

I might have broke my hand in round one. The
boys heard I broke my hand on the left hook.
But I will fight because I fight for you. Round three.
(11:03):
Alex Pereira is reportedly cornering Sean Strickland for UFC three twelve.
You know, we have this weird thing going on in
mixed martial arts right now where former opponents are now
training together and building these bonds with each other as

me tells me that Perera and Strickland are building a

Alex Pereira has a fight on the books Las Vegas,
(12:35):
UFC three thirteen. Right. What we do know is that
Alex Pereira is going to be fighting a guy who
could be his most formidable opponent because of the style.
But what we also have to take into effect is
that Perrera feels that his relationship with Strickland is so
(12:56):
strong that he's willing to travel across the world to
corner him. To me, it seems dangerous to me. It
seems risky for Alex to go all the way to
Australia knowing everything that goes into a training camp and
(13:18):
how hard that travel can be on your body when
you're preparing to be or continue to defend your world championship.
So how strong is that bond? Right? How strong is
that bond? How much does Sean Strickland now mean to
Alex Pereira? For him to take that risk, because trust me, guys,
(13:42):
it is a risk. It is a risk when you
look at Uncliath and you look at the way those
guys have been going back and forth, when you look
at the fighting style or the ability, it all boils
down to this. Alex Furer could beat up Onunkliath's legs
as we saw Yambohovich do and him look like he
could not stand. But unclav has that ability to take
(14:03):
him down and hold him down. He said he ain't
gonna do that. It to me would seem like a
massive mistake to not do that, or to anyone in
the world that watches fighting and knows what it takes
to go and get a victory, it seems like Unclia
should use that wrestling. He showed it around four to
five against yan Behovich to win those rounds against Alex Pereyra. Hell,
(14:26):
we saw yan Behovich hold Alex Peyra down for a
round and a half and what still is his most
competitive fights is going up to two oh five. But
to add that, add to that the travel, different time zone,
the sleep patterns and sleep schedule, it's difficult. It's difficult
(14:47):
to add that. So to me, Searn Strickland must be
one of Alex Perera's best friends, because you don't do
that for just anything anybody. Now, one thing I won't
do is questionalt I'm done. I won't question whether or
not he can wrestle. I won't question any of that
anymore because he has proven it time and time again
(15:09):
that whatever he is doing is right and it's allowed
for him to become one of the greatest fighters of
all time. Yes, he is one of the greatest fighters
of all time in the shortest amount of time. I
have ever seen anyone building legacy that is that strong
or a resume that is that strong. Never seen it.
I've never seen someone do what Perrara has done. And
(15:31):
he's a free spirit, and maybe maybe that free spirit
allows for him to be as good as he's been.
This dude's demand and if he gets through this next challenge,
if he gets through un CALIAV, I'm going on the
record and saying that light heavyweight is going to have
a Polton problem for a really long time. We have

Speaker 1 (17:10):
And now for my final thought. The Global Fight League.
Last week they held their initial draft, and if I'm
being quite honest, it was one of the weirdest things
that I've ever seen in my entire life, from the
studio shots with people that I respect sitting at that desk,
(17:31):
Goldberg and Robin and Caroline, to the whole draft, the music.
But I think the thing that shoot out the most
to me was that before the draft was completed, as
it started, if you paid attention, if you were watching closely,
(17:51):
they showed a graphic that showed every single pick completed.
So by watching, you know who was getting drafted, when
they were getting drafted, where they were going to. It
was all done. It was literally all done in the
first ten minutes of the drive. You screen grab it, bang,
(18:16):
you got it. Those all the picks, turn the camera.
It was unreal. So when you launch something new, it's
all about the first impression, and to me, that wasn't
the best first impression. It wasn't not great. And I'm
a guy that's all for more MMA. I wish all
(18:38):
those guys the best, but they've got to be better.
Many of my contemporaries, the people that fought when I did,
and look at me, right, I got gray hair. I
don't look like a guy that's actively competing. But a
lot of those guys that I spent a lot of
time with when I was at the top of the sport,
the guys that sit alongside me at the top of
(18:59):
the sport, they're all a part of this organization, all
of them. So I really want the best for it.
But shit, after last Friday, I honestly don't know if
it could get any worse because it was that bad. Guys.
