"Knowing that tito ortiz would never make weight knowing. He's way over his attempt to make that way so now only we get a big chunk of change. trt's is going to be severely dehydrated. He's gonna spend most of this training camp not working boxing but he just got me running cutting way you know just getting sweaty and making videos about how we will make way so and this is over it again tonight. I is he you know. World champion boxer. No but i'm happy. He's picking his fights wisely unlike some of the other competitors but He's picking his why you speak in his fight wisely and he's performing and it's a pleasure to see a happy ending so even though we didn't we talk about this once he did. Knockout tito was me or did anderson. Almost look kind of bummed. It was so easy he wasn't he didn't do any thing you just like. That's it he knows. I i can't. I felt a bathrooms. And i think anderson was actually kinda hoping for a new of this is a big smiley fun guy but hey guys still a fighter he wants to get. You need to get down and dirty. You know you know he wants to get in there. I was just looking at old pictures. When he fought shell in the first fight and after he won he was just his angry mad like ferocious face and cheetos anderson's and i was like man. I'd break a sweat not fun. So we're going to definitely see andersen back and High profile matches and hopefully big money fights and the man deserves getting big checks. If i had to hazard a guess as to why maybe anderson didn't react in the way that he had reacted in previous victories. I think a lotta people like looking through twitter a lot when i was doing the twitter as a lot of people were just predicting anderson. Just wash tito as was. So maybe anderson news gonna be that easy to so when he want. He's like yeah. The sky is blue waters wet. I knockout tito ortiz around one. Maybe that was. I'm just hazarding a guess. I did not see one person. Picking teeter to win this fight. Especially given that anderson beat julio cesar chavez junior who i am a vocal i am not a fan of hulu junior as an individual officer but he is. Legitimate is a legitimate resume in the boxing world. An andersen did what he did. The ufc two professional boxer in his home country that i thought he was going to have the home cooking but i think a lot of people picked anderson to win so But from here the question. The question is who's anderson silva fight next a lot of people online guy. Believe closest yields mukisa and ask. They are all calling for anderson silva vs jake. Paul i know cheinal shots. Maybe logan paul because he's a little bigger the post fight press conference The the he was present when boxing oscar de la hoya anderson said. I think vito has some unfinished business with oscar and he just wants to go home and spend time with his family gave a gave. The answer that we as journalists hates is wants to tell my family. And then i'll get back to the drawing board gave absolutely nothing started every since with word. Wow so that didn't change service. Ufc days so stephen. I'll start with you if you are anderson's team and you could tell him to find anyone that makes sense. Who should he fight again. Five minutes team. I'm jake paul. I mean that's the biggest may day you know even after this fight like what somebody said. We're still talking about. Jake pulse Narrative coming out of this bite. Who's been a fight. He's the guy who wins in the end again. So if i'm not might wanna see him. Make the most money possible And i think that that's a you know the the reasons. Casey said notwithstanding i mean. I feel like it's a competitive. It's a great fight for him in. I actually think it's a fight that he can win and should win But i think it'd be logano j honestly so there's a competitive side of it financial side of it and from anderson silva side. I would much rather be anderson silva than than j. paul anderson silla. I want that fight of jake paul. I'm thinking twice. Because is anderson gonna bring the the eyeballs is he gonna make it seen at a spectacle so i agree with what casey said before. I don't think it's completely lega like a nobody Or it's not going to do any business at all. Anderson was a top a draw during his heyday. of course. it's not as it's well past. Hey now but that being said the guys had some great performances in his a lot of is so me. personally i would love to see Invite jake logan paul for the competitive reasons. Do i think that happens. You know unless confident about that. Sure i would. I don't know if i if i'm andersen. Obviously the money fights. Jake paul jake paul. Probably gonna fight. Tommy who is probably the worst boxer of everyone we brought up including the Including paul brothers. Casey if you if you had to if you're anderson's team which direction you nudging him towards i know he probably won't get. I know jake. Paul probably won't accept the fight so taking the paul brothers out of the equation. Is there another option. That is actually reasonable francis over Next man if i wanted to see tonight anderson silva vs veto belfort. If i actually wanted to see actually made more sense that was pardon me more competitive our still anderson but i think it would have been more competitive I don't think. I think from a monetary standpoint price standpoint. Of course jake. Paul is the guy the the fight to make for anderson. But i just find it so weird that if you want gone gone back in time a year ago or say the aspirin fight when pau aspirin like it would almost be insulting insulting to anderson silva's legacy to suggest that he schiff i jake paw but now we're like. Oh jake paul you fight me. It's just crazy. How the how. This works in combat sports. Now all these beautiful belford these legends. These these these pioneers of mixed martial arts are basically. Hey mr paul. We fight me so i can make money. I just find it. It's just crazy. This i hated. I hated it. I hated everything about veto. Bill fords Press conference and comments inside the like he's offering thirty million dollars like winner-takes-all to fall and then he's like forty million dollars for canal on like do first of all you fight at one hundred eighty five pounds cannella fights at one hundred sixty pounds. Yeah and you're saying that canal hours. The powerful pound best fighter on planet earth would be would is chicken if he doesn't take fort like i'm so confident that i'd say canal take a month off. Come off in just dust vitor belfort it is. There's no question in my mind that that happened. So i hated every and then this whole thing of j. Paul doesn't take the fight that means all his fans have become my. I'm like my guy. I i'm really. I'm also really confident when i say. None of j. pulse fans watched this fight so no one knows what you are saying. And no one knows who veto belford is. And that's i'm like that's unfortunate. Because veto belfour is one of the greatest mixed martial arts fighters who has ever lived top five middleweights in the history of anime one of the greatest opinion high near like the definition of pioneer. Like like the first guy in the afc that that had blackballed let black belt. Level ju jitsu with elite level striking so when on sale. That's not that's not a knock on veto. it's just a different world vitor. I'm sorry you're not gonna fight the paul brothers. I'm pretty confident that didn't even hear you say that. Yeah so that's his mind with that we're going to move on to the main event. Where's this trailer bag. This briefcase of thirty five million dollars and the guy that went thirty nine thirty five meal. I know who he twenty five million and then this guy is ran in a five million dollars for just add to this ridiculous bet. Like come on man like logan pause fighting on showtime boxing which is an established. Name the box like now. The hbo is is out of the equation. Is anything bigger than showtime boxing. No but they're the new york mayor broadcaster in boxing fox..

"Love you through a musical act there again. I i know. I'm in the minority in this. I can that may fans rebelling actively rebelling as they listen to this but does anything do mix it up just to break up the monotony of his show. I think it's cool. So like i said i don't know how long trail is gonna last but i think there are people who are going to steal a lot of troas ideas in the future and just thinking about seriously if like if there's a big knockout you know either. The main or co main you know is going to be. The big viral hit is trump's call knockout and him going into a trump repression but no but ijaz imaginative tito gets knocked out cold or is knocked out cold or you know whatever and then trump you know doing his. You know joe rogan. You know all that stuff so it's great promotion by trailer and i saw like teams e. They won't bracha. Mom do it to the next time you know. Whatever but good luck. We're talking about it. We're talking about him. we're talking about it. We're talking about the show. And we're not the other ones i guarantee. There's a lot more people who became aware that car was even happening. Be of trump's involvement. So if this chiller a few extra buys i mean i hope it was worth it because it it very well could very good. It's not a terrible. It's not a terrible strategy at all. I the parents we got a couple of the. I don't know if we're getting mike back. So i thought you went to fair Real quick we talked this material missing. Way yeah I don't i never if you watch tito's very first press conference Slow virtual press conferences. Too late about you know. He talks with thirty minutes about ten minutes of that was about how he lost. Respect for anderson for making him cut way and basically he was laying out the excuses of him. Not making wait so this was not a surprise at all. In fact he got. The two hundred honestly was was a surprise to me To me was. This was a strategy by anderson silva to make tito basically train on cutting away and not train boxing. And this is boxing monsters. Don't actually see as much as may. Is they definitely. Don't as much way as wrestlers zoo because there are so much head trauma and you need that fluid in your brain to cushion it because it's gonna be bouncing around a lot so I hope tito actually was in florida. So which would be good. But i hope tedo passes his Post-weigh-in medicals and all that because i don't know if they're hydration tests and things like that but that is that is that to me. That's the safety concern rather than holyfield because wholesale is fighting at his. No walking white. Tito is dehydrated..

"Was training to cut way so In for anderson all you do just work on his boxing. He just basically. He's basically fighting at his in shape weight so to me this is all anderson silva and he should dominate tito. And yes. he'll he'll be around. I mean how many how many rounds changes all the time. What does this mike. Eight rounder eight. Two minute rounds two around so yeah okay with two minute rounds might make it more difficult. But let's go six round knockout anderson so okay knockout a ko not a tko account knockout. Hang mike what are you saying. I'm assuming you can celebrate. It's gonna get you picking a finish now. I think he went to decision. I think he went to the decision. One of those fights we're going to be like he showed up teach shuttle heart there at the is it gets to be one of those situations but i think anderson's comfortably i think we'll look like you. He won't look washed. I mean i think tito will look like a guy who wants to knock out his opponent but it's just you know he's financial silva that's all. Yeah i again. I would love to be surprised and for this to be more competitive fight. Maybe tito as some crazy hands that we've just never seen before. But i think you're right. Casey that like he's had no time to prepare as much. The properly should be able to boxing about. You have so much of this funding away so But i'm with mike. I don't think we see a knockout. I think it sort of more of a convincing. Selva decision may probably i. I possibly a shutout possibly eight rounds to nothing at worst probably sick rounds to to but i would be shocked if If tito one more than around just is this. Just seems like a matchup tailor-made for for anderson himself outside of the size i could definitely see Tito winning some rounds. Mostly due from anderson being very patient at the beginning and just kind of you know letting tito kind of show his hand before anderson you know. Let's lose which is done before you know anderson kind of you know is a slow starter on purpose. Not because he just isn't warmed up. But so i expect now might get your onsite. You're more deeply immersed in this card again so we also have david. Hey fighting a joe. -fornia who was on a previous trailer card and evinces versus john carroll anti-chavez versus dual dual logan. I'm sorry definitely butchered. That and we had undercard while eleazar. Silva and terry roscoe so I guess there's probably obvious. Choice of of what other kind of deep cut their risk but outside of the two main fights you kind of what you looking forward to. I mean i think joe was the star of the press conference yesterday. He was hilarious. Earn emma david hay ever relate. It's they're selling. It is friends become enemies but enemies are also friends. 'cause apparently they were having like some some food. And a couple of debbie's together last night so But yeah. I mean david david. Hey fighting on this car. I don't think a lot of people expected that to happen in. the lobby. were surprised when they found out this week. That he was so To me it's gotta be that An outside of that. The deepest cut is seeing. Snoop dogg do a performance with marvin gaye is bring it back. Marvin gaye maze marvin gaye. Who who died in nineteen eighty four will be performing with snoop. Dogg got is the i. Guess the headlining musical actor for anyone. Who's not familiar with trailer this trailer. Does they give you they give you boxing or are they give you a combat sports. Entertainment experience It was loaded for the very first chiller fight club with very current justin bieber the black keys a doj. They're black and other black keys. Adoga cat showed up. Whatever major lazer. Yes major lazer rushmore pill note mountain west more. The supernova snoop dogg and ice cube and several others will. We'll be coming back. I believe is also kind of serving as like the m. c. I think he'll be performing yes with. We don't know with marvin gain. Some capacity could be a very basic like marvin gaye on a screen. A lot of people are hoping hologram audran cross. That's the hope So it could be a very basic setup. There's so much things you can do with with technology these days outside of that. Tell me if he's anita with two ts lou. Looney looney ni- and apologized ministration and hesitate the zona so a lot of latin flavor. We've gotta get anita's from brazil From puerto rico and hinted on from cuba. So i apologize. I'm not familiar with these musical acts guys. If they're these really spicy musical acts i i. I applaud ignorance. But i think that's up. Sounds like it'll be a fun. Show fund high energy. Show outside of it casey. I want to give you the chance speaking with the whole circus around it. I wanna you the chance to speak on. You felt very strongly about sort of how legends lessons have kind of been treated and talked about in the lead up to this event Compared to other other combat sports to sit what do please floors with other combat. Sports talking about was actually pro wrestling so spore go for no. I was just your sports real sport. This more in. I'm i'm putting blame on the media. Jumping blaming me. Oh fancy. I'm not just saying you. What you okay but just i was more just interested in just how things are so different between because i just saw the all out Aws all out paper view last week last sunday and that was actually the first pay per view. Actually all right. Here's my money. i'm gonna watch pay per view and had lots of veterans. I obviously made his return. Thinks punks like forty. Something chris. Jericho had a great match minorities. Yuki guys right forty five plus you know and the way just the fans just can came around and just gave these guys just enormous pop and just had this incredibly awesome energy. I just it was just very refreshing. And then the judge position from that straight into this week where it was like these guys are all day. Suck. why are we watching these old people fight and it was just edges felt like it was very negative vibe and especially if the move the florida and banner holyfield coming on you. Know kind of suggesting He's no he look. He came as a complete senate without taking two hours to say it. We lost mike..

"Okay people people can can judge their work of his work. Regiment that has restored him in this way on their own but But we're guardless. The veto that i see going in here just looks more youthful faster. I know he's nowhere near the level of boxer holyfield is. I just have a weird feeling. He's going to hurt him. He's going to do enough. Is he. going to knock him out i. I would also doubted that you guys are right. I don't know if there's enough incentive either has enough gas to kind of to kind of go to that next level and actually put the other guy away. But i think he took it hurt on and there's there could be it. Hurt him enough to win a noncontroversial decision to a comfortable decision. That has Kind of wanting to look forward to detours next boxing and kind of hoping that holyfield box again. But that's me. I don't know if that's i. I'm just kind of being the dissenting opinion here. So we've got to holyfield's and the one belfort. Let's talk about the coleman guys which to a lot of the may fight and community is really the main events i mean. This is the fight that most of our listeners. Readers viewers are talking about anderson silva vs tito ortiz. Now was when it was booked wasn't most people's but number one choice for For after the the win over. Julio cesar chavez i think people had a lot of other more creative ideas in mind dido was a bit of an odd choice that guy not known for striking and a guy who was not really near anderson silva's way class as we found out today at the way ends when not weighed in at two hundred pounds which is five pounds over the contracted weight limit and he will forfeit in in very ma style will force twenty percent of his verse to anderson. Self but So i ask you mike. Do you think at any intention of trying to make the way and do think anisimov Knew that he wasn't going to make look t- tito says a lot of things and i can tell you firsthand that i was the third person that interview tito after the press conference i interview. He said he went to sixteen the second interview. He said he weighed two. Oh five i was the third interview and he said he wanted to eleven so take that you want a man between okay. Wow the human body is crazy. Okay so at at at the same time that do like. Here's one here's one thing. That's interesting about anime and pro wrestling all this stuff like you watch these guys on tv and you don't really see them in person when you see them in person like you get to actually gauge like how big they are tito. Looks like ingratiate on scrape on tv. He's a muscular. Like average guy like but really good shape. He's a fighter. You kick the crap about people but tito is a big do like he is massive. So i'm looking at him. Like how in the blue hell is there any chance. You're gonna make one ninety five. Like i don't know how he got two two. Oh five how big was like i was just. I was amazed. I was shocked at how big he is but he got down to two hundred and he stepped on the scale beforehand and then drank pedialyte. So there's a very good chance that he got under two hundred pounds and just couldn't do anymore which is pretty amazing with a guy that and he taught and one thing that was consistent about all these interviews and what he said the beginning was when he found out about the fight was to forty so he cut forty pounds in just a few weeks to get here and i asked him in the conversation. When was the last time you were under two hundred pounds over to over twenty years over twenty years. You've been over two hundred pounds. So i don't necessarily buy into the fact that tito didn't give this any effort because i think i think he did. I truly think he did when i saw him this morning. Yeah he was bouncing around in good spirits when he stepped up on the scale and did that test way. He looked pretty rough. I don't think you go to cut another out. So i will give him all the credit in the world. I think he cut his much as he possibly could. But i do understand at the same token if you sign a contract to fight at one ninety five. You're saying by putting pen to paper. I can make that way. So i get why anderson silva was disappointed. I get why people would be upset about it because you signed a contract by the same time. After standing next to that man. Yesterday i was like. There's no chance he gets to one five. She's not physically possible. But so i do think he gave the effort. But i just didn't lose any chance. I even have sanderson what. I interviewed him. After the way. And i'm like you really thought it was gonna make it. You actually thought he make any said you signed the contract. You're saying you're going to make it so there you go well. We haven't seen the purse information yet. But i would feeling anxious gonna enjoy the a twenty percent that he gets from dod ortiz bought. I think in boxing. I'm pretty sure he has a flat rate to. It's not it's not like where's the show the show and win so that twenty percent is actually probably a much bigger twenty percent even than we're thinking so because you know usually your your your salaries cut in half if you lose so he gets a flat rate so it's going to be even more so good good good good business combining literally right now out there. He heard guys. Here's talking about them here about well. I think i think are are calming. Ernie pretty glowing about. I could be wrong. I don't know what you guys are going to say. I'll say now. some. I've seen him as high as a minus. Eleven hundred favourite on some of the sites Tito around plus six hundred underdogs. So i think when i don't think expectations have changed much from when this was signed again. This is one of the greatest. Strikers may history was the guy who is more known as a wrestler grappler and again. We just saw him very nice boxing. Performance against julio cesar chavez junior so Casey what do you think of those odds. Do you think that that's sarah around the right number..

"Well i mean. I think that does have the. He has the ability to her anderson. He has the ability to sit to anderson down. We've watched anderson. You know sit. He's been out. He's been dropped several times later on in his career now skill wise. I agree a hundred percent with you. Skill levels are completely different. But like you said it is a fight and it landed one point. I don't know i'm i'm an optimistic. You never know. I do i think. Do i call a pseudo winning this. I don't but there is that chance. And you're right anderson. Come and look like shit or income on and look amazing being proving and and maybe we see a glimpse of the anderson so we used to see the one that was so motivated in and committed to training and fighting and seeing him in the boxing world. Maybe this is a new challenge in Revival forum did you wash his fight with julio cesar chavez junior i did watch a portion of it yes. I didn't get to see the phone. But i got to see the highlights and stuff. He incredible he looked so happy in there like he looked genuinely happy. And like i feel like this is a bit of a career like you know two point zero which is weird to say forty six but like it's a weird two point over for him but he looks like he's having a blast out there and i just have a hard time believing he's going to go out there and play it safe against tito i think he's going to use tito as a springboard to maybe he fights de la hoya or maybe just i don't see him like i don't i just don't see out like maybe maybe it goes to decision purely because tito having a great chin and he might have some weight on anderson but otherwise like and listen. I'm going to watch because i love anderson. I've been in a unlike you. I grew up. I love anderson silva. I'm a huge anderson silva guy so i'll watch i. I don't give tito a lot of you outside of the whole like anything in fly outside of the. I don't agree chance in this one you i'm gonna. I'm gonna go for anderson as well. I i love him. He's super skills. He's got great. Footwork is head movement especially in his last fight the movement that he had the head movement like he had a good rhythm. That's what he's always had great rhythm but for boxing. It's it's it that rhythm is it. it's an it's great and boxing and he looked great and like you said he was happy. It was like a dance. And that. From what i remember. When anderson was at his best. It was a dance for him. In a sense you know more than it was an actual fight. It was dance. Frontal is just this incredible way that he moved to no one else in move like him. And i did see glimpses of ad in his last fight you know and that movement tito is very straightforward steph. You know But a heavy hitter. He's been on the sport a long time. He's doing his game one hundred percent Let's see maybe this is something that can spark him and get him to want to be great at something again. Argues gonna get sparked. I don't know if it's going to over. I think he's gonna get sparks without being said Quick let's talk about vitor and vander. Because unlike tito and an and anderson the line on this when the betting line has veto the favorite and he was favourite over de la. Hoya to which is why it's a little. It's a little crazy. Because oscar is a legend and oscar but advantage the different situation advantages. Taking this right on sorta notice now. I've heard vendors training. We've all heard that vander was trying to set up the boxing match with mike tyson. So i think he's in shape fifty eight though taking on sir noticed and and obviously veto where we've seen. I'm sure you've seen like he looks ripped. He looks ready. I don't know that. I can give a prediction on this one though. Because i don't know what i don't know what we're going to see i really don't it's interesting. I think that. I think that the delahoya in belfort was Was a that was a really. That was challenging. Fight on both ends. That was a really good advice But i do give the edge to be rejoined is not only as a younger. He has been training for a delaware who is much faster. Much you know throws many more punches at one time more combinations a lot more movement out of delaware than vander but vandor is a powerhouse. we also just. We haven't seen him in a while a long while. and so. that's what makes this fight. Kind of interesting. He can land that one. Hit wonder though we know that he can't use a powerful man But i definitely think that this is going to be the favor of hr. I lean towards veto tour. But i also like i remember watching the mike tyson roy jones junior fight and i was like good. Lord what are we going to see. These guys are both you know i mean listen. I mean there's ages the greatest enemy of fighter we all know that But then you look at anderson at forty-six hundred. He's the one. I saw tyson out there like good lord. Tyson looked awesome. Like it was amazing. So if holyfield comes out looking like that maybe the night. But i'm with you. I i think detour will win. I'm picking veto or you know. Just because i think he has some advantages with him are being trained and ready for a fight and all that kind of stuff but if advantage comes out there looking like tyson did it by turn into a bit of a war. I'm i'm kind of excited for the possibility angry with that. i i. he vendors a powerful man. He's a powerhouse he could take a shot. We know that. I mean we haven't seen him in a while. And that's what that's what just kind of worries me a little bit of this fight and makes me hesitant on where this fight goes but i do know you know major looks great like you said he looks great right now. He's in great shape. He took his very seriously Was training hard. Padilla was training hard as a big fight forum and You know he's a good striker user. a good boxer for animate fighter so Ic who. I was the sore fighter in the delaware fight being the actual he faster more elusive fighter in this fight. All the matters though is we're going to tune in and that's all trillo cares about. That's all they care about. They want us to in. You know what. I'm interested. I can't lie. Say not interested interested to see what's going to happen. They put on a show over there. And it's fun. I can't deny it's not fun Pearl before i let you go Obviously you are always busy. I talked to dave feldman last week. He hinted that you might be making your return in november already mentioned. Maybe britain hardest opponents. I'm not going to nail you down on anything here but are you excited to make you. Returning became see later this year. One hundred percent. I am one hundred percent excited and i cannot wait to compete So yeah i'm excited. I'm actually on my way to Las vegas i am. I bought an rv two weeks ago. And i originally went down to miami. I drove it. Down to miami from brooklyn moved out of my apartment in brooklyn And mime actually. I'll be training with george rubio Who is currently in las vegas training field. Fema lopez so..

"Am your host damon martin. And this week i'm joined by. Ufc veteran invicta veteran and be kfc superstar. Pearl gonzalez pearl. Welcome in how are you. I'm amazing how you on for us. Thank you so much for taking the time Obviously with the podcast where we're talking to fires from all over the place and and we're going to talk a lot of boxing stuff this week. Obviously veto bill ford fighting evanger holyfield tito ortiz fighting anderson silva and last time we spoke of course coming up your big win and your care see you actually told me you were thinking about crossing over nebraska's well yes absolutely. I think that right now. Boxing is You know overall it it's just a really it's really popular. It's i mean. It always has been. But i think crash dovers is is a better way to put that crossovers right now. And he's super fights are just so popular right now and i'm having a blast. I would absolutely love to at some point. Have a pro. Boxing fight Obviously trained now is boxing for bare knuckles. So i'd like to test myself professionally as vaccination in and i'm sure many others are the same way. Yeah we're seeing it so much malicious get into it right now. Talk about this because we've seen it so much lately. Just turn woodley crossover and fight jake. Paul i was at that event. It was so much fun. It was a blast. It was just awesome to be there. The crowd was great. I said it. Before the youngest audience i can ever remember seeing a boxing show It was just a lot of fun. Obviously we've got you know You know vitor belfort about to make his. Boxing return actually had a fight years ago. But i'm kind of saying his return this weekend for a vendor holyfield. Get tito ortiz. Fighting anderson silva anderson of course had an incredible performance early this summer. And i think it's i don't know it's weird like all of a sudden is happening all the time and i'm kind of i don't know i'm not sure if it's like there's a there's an interest obviously there's an interest in doing it and i think a lot of fireside interest just like fighters who are wrestlers. They want to win olympic gold in wrestling. And they wanna win golden mma. They also there are people who are interested in boxing. Who loved the challenge of doing. I'm here chris. Lytle did it. Years ago he went over and crossed over and did boxing and have fun with it. But we're seeing it so much more lately. Obviously there's a money factor. We can't deny there's going to be money made some of these big fights but it's also a lot of people are just interesting to do. I don't know what do you think birlik. Why are we seeing so many mixed martial artists suddenly so just the opportunities there like what is it. I believe it's the opportunities that are there. I think that right now especially after going through the pandemic and and having kind of a halt to everything you know. I think us as competitors me as a competitor. Personally i can sneak from. I need competition. I want competition. And if there's an opportunity to present itself in another area of my sport which is press prominently ben. Mma you know. I can work on my striking in my stand up in the opportunity presented itself here with with bare knuckle and so i moved into boxing and i think that there are fighters to that may not be able to grapple. That may not be able to do. I may or just would like a change. A change of and it says the their scales in another way. And that's the beauty of our sport. Mma is there's so many arch. There's so many pieces to the puzzle that you need to get inside of there and compete in mma. Enzo you know taking a portion of that taking one piece to the puzzle and working in focusing on that i think is what to me. Sounds like is intriguing about it I could see celebrities that you know. Just the who are also athletes. I'm sure and competitive. In their own nature can watch test themselves in something like boxing and it is. It is a lot safer in boxing than it is in. Let's say emma may not you don't have to learn the grap laying and and the balance and everything else that comes into it. You can focus on one skill and so. I think that that is why we're seeing more and more of these fights. It's funny you say that because what i'm about to say is going to piss off every boxing on the planet right now and i don't mean this offensively two boxers but the reality is a mixed martial artist who has all the skills striking grappling wrestling all that. It's easier for them unless say easier it's easy. I'm saying it's easier for them to go crossover in the boxing. Because you're already boxing now. Obviously it's a different thing. I'm not saying that you know tire would going over and boxing canal alvarez that would be such incredible mismatch and canal is the one of the best. What i'm saying going over just like boxing. Jake paul or going over and boxing. We're seeing some of these other matchups. vitorino his age. He's boxing evander. Holyfield was gonna box oscar de la. Hoya he's not boxing. Tyson fury But i think it's easier for mixed martial artist to say you know what i'm gonna take out all these other things i'm gonna stop doing the grappling going to start doing the wrassling. I'm just going to focus on boxing. Boxing is something every mixed martial artist does anyways. Maybe not to the level of you know fighting professionally. But they're doing it anyways it's easier to cross over new and there's a reason why you're not seeing the reverse. You don't see boxers. You don't see cannella thing you know what i feel. I going over and fighting in a ufc. Because i really feel like getting choked out next week. That's just it's just not going to have this. It doesn't happen that way because there's so much more to learn it's so much harder to transition from any other sport. I mean you could say wrestlers have the greatest base and i believe wrestlers typically had the best base for mixed martial arts. But there's no guaranteed a success. Ed ruth who is a phenomenal college wrestler. You know he came over. He said several losses in ballots..

Years ago he went over and crossed over and did boxing and have fun with it. But we're seeing it so much more lately. Obviously there's a money factor.

Will Brunson's Frustration Affect Him Against Till?
"Brunson's very consistent but with those consistencies. He has consistently had a problem with a striker. He can't take down. Brunson gets frustrated. I know it because it was the problem in my career. So i can see what other guys have it when they have the same problem. I can see it if brunson comes out in his game plan is to take you down and he fails to take you down. He gets frustrated and things unravel very quickly. If you go see also too great fights if you wanna go back right if you're betting on this fight to great ones to see before you form your opinion anderson silva vs derek brunson derek. Brunson beat anderson silva. He lost the decision. He won the fight one of those nights. But he's in there with a great striker anderson. Brunson was successfully getting down at least part of the time so he didn't get frustrated his plan that he came in there with work at least part of the time it was enough to march him forward through fifteen minutes. The decision is history. The opposite happened when brunson oughta sonya he knew the blueprint he knew very clearly. I must take a sonya down and so did the rest of us because it was on the heels of artists on your inventory were vittori did take him down held them. They're frustrated oughta sonya so brunson knows what he needs to do when he failed to sign. You got his hips away. Got under kept him back on the feet. Brunson got frustrated. So it's it's one of those deals because in many ways this is the same fight it is till a striker. And he's great at it and he's weird. He's a very awkward approach. He twists the hips. He keeps his hands down. He goes southpaw. he goes orthodox. He looks like he's gonna kick when he's punching. He looks like he's gonna punch when he kicks. He's awkward adds to effectiveness. Good news for brunson even though it's the first time he's fighting till it's not the first time he's fought that awkward style. Okay we are going to have a long fight. I don't close my eyes and invention away that brunson gets till out of there. I can see ways that till stops brunson. I can see where till hurts it. But they're unlikely you're going to have a long drawn out contest and brunson has always impressed me with his ability to compete the harder the rounds get the more he's gotta dig the more grind and grimy gets he seems to rise to. I think that's the kind of fight that he's going to have picking

"Cars junior. What was the name is junior. Yeah i know you're talking about Oh my gosh Adult alberto the real precedent over at the global blank. There wasn't he those junior. Yeah yeah okay. So that fight should've never really happened but it did. And they book out five hundred grand or who. I'm just a hater. I guess 'cause it's probably the easiest five hundred grand ever make in. The reason is this goes out and fights. Got your number. He does not hesitate to crack your skull with elbows or do whatever it takes to get the win. But i've noticed that when it's not going there's a cover up and he does not mind the tko las either you know And again the gets cash and that's that he built up his name. Yes the ability to do that. I will not compare them to bob. Sapp bob was horrific. Bob set would run at you in veep bhai any chance knocked you out of the tackle great but if it didn't goes way he would really really turtle up a little baby you dynamo couple times. They wave it off and that was it. It was the whole build up because he was a big black man doing things in japan japan. Just love that but tito has a little bit of a version of that will cover up that against the cage. It's not as night. It's on his mind. But guess what. I'll be back and everyone in You'll get next time tito. I'm not hating on it. But i've noticed it and i just don't think he could be damaged. A striking mac now anderson silva apparently was gonna box logan paul in it didn't happen and so that's why i think i think this is a a a second option and i'm i i don't know i don't really want to see it. I will but i. I don't think it's going to be compelling at all. But i think when you look at oscar de la hoya you go him and be tore. Hey at least we towards a striker right known for his hands so anything can happen right. You can play that role but when you look at tito ortiz. Like it's never really been known for his boxing. And you're putting in against anderson silva who is a striker and just beat. Julio says are travis junior. So you know that as boxing's probably on point there's just not much. I really understand about this booking but it happened. You know what take it. But i don't for the amount of money that they're paying them Doesn't make too much sense. It's not really something that makes you wanna buy But speaking of boxing clear shield matter. Second matchup and that's awesome to hear in may so she's gonna be finding october twenty seventh. I'm looking forward to that bad. I'm looking forward to so guess. What goes you would've actually been cage site for that. If not for the bad news. I have for you. You can tell when we ask lillian. She said well. We'll see a lot of the finals are going to take place up. The seminal hard in florida. I got the press release already in the morning. So it's not going to happen at mandalay. Bay as had been rumored hell some bites grooming the fight dome earlier this year. But i think the pandemic jack things up god bless florida. You know. they're going through a lot right now on the health side of things which i don't wanna really get into. Because because they're so open that's why that's happening but because they're so open that's why. Mma events or events in general can just take place in florida. And i think the pedophiles like okay. Listen that's seventeen day. Quarantine sucked over here. I don't know what's happening in vegas. Mass are back on here and the silver state. so let's just stay within the cozy confines of florida and and that's that so because we really enjoyed having the playoffs a few years ago. Hell we didn't even get the finals at time. We got plows which is cool but this is the final so the finals are no longer on december. Thirty first folks. If you didn't know that belter site be fell. Move things up. This is the semifinals here in august this week next week in week after in the finals or october in its iraq for them. I don't think they'll go back to december thirty first. Bogle see i think they just basically play the hand that they're dealt heck even when we talked to random Tour we said. What do you think man. Are they going to go to to fight one night quarterfinals. You know it and then semi finals before. The finals are not actually be quarter-finals. The semi-finals Leading into any. Said if i had to vote i would vote for that but this year. We're not doing quarterfinals. It's just semifinals in. That's it though. I think they're just playing. The cards are dealt. Now folks we're gonna get on ad again. Thank you so much as always for tuning in for those of you. That listen via the podcast. We appreciate your support. And if you're also a dual podcast and of you're of our streams We are just going to be podcast. One for the time being believed that this is going to be short in just a couple of episodes of you're wondering at that i would just tell you right now that that's how that works because i know a lot of you like to grab both versions or at least not yet worked both versions available to you so more on that later but for now we're.

"September twelfth. what fight will we. Will we be talking about being the more competitive fight. This fight between anderson silva and tito ortiz or jake paul versus tyron woodley wish for which is more competitive which fight will be the more competitive fight man. That's you're really. Put me on the hot seat without one man. You know i'm pro. I'll probably lean towards jake. Paul entire woodley being the more competitive fight. I mean at the end of the day. And i think anyone. That's picking anyone that's thinks jake. Paul is just gonna get dominator decimated by tire. Woodley's either i mean i i really think i. I'm not saying jake's ever going to be a world champion but jake's taken seriously but tyrant is a fricken former four-time champion. He's legit legit power. He's not been asking So i think this'll be a lot better fight than that. But yeah like. I don't know the anderson will knock out tito. I don't know if that will happen. Maybe but i think it could be a pretty lopsided you know couple of ten rounds in their kind of performance and at the end of the day that could be even more lopsided. And here's here's one positive way to look at this fight. Ladies and gentlemen if you enjoyed the smile on anderson silva's face when he took on julio cesar chavez junior imagine how big the smile is going to be come september eleventh when he is in there just marching around and dancing in there with tito ortiz. So get excited. I mean it is what it is. Make some money go ahead. And let's not forget. Like i said they're on this car together. I mean the potential here. Let's say because right now the delahoya belford odds are pretty close. Belfer open is a favorite over de la. Hoya you know what i mean. Let's say bell for goes out there and knocks out oscar de la hoya and anderson styles on tito ortiz. Those are two of the biggest stars ever in brazil to the biggest stars in you have see history easily. Put those two in a boxing match. Tell me that's not a massive massive card. Let's say de la hoya beats bell for but it's close or either. It's a competitive fight for several rounds. They get the better. And then anderson goes out there and styles on tito. Are you telling me they wouldn't potentially book anderson against de la hoya and you're telling me that wouldn't be a massive fight especially with anderson now to know you know in recent boxing matches so in a way. This is a plan for the future as well. And as i said. I've pretty much given up on the whole sanctity. This thing i was like they're healthy and they're not going to get hurt doing it. You know go for you know. I mean you know. I don't know if i'm ready to sign up to us. Chuck ladele do bare knuckle boxing. But if we're gonna see tito. Box anderson sure why not and then the other options we could see tito ortiz. Fight oscar de la. Hoya i mean who if what what a world we. The options are endless damon options. This would be the ultimate payback for golden boy. Mma only going one card alternate promoters revenge when he goes after he goes after it forever. Promoting golden boy. Emma may to so many storylines to get excited about but they haven't staples center in los angeles september eleventh oscar de la hoya versus vitor belfort anderson silva vs tito ortiz trailer.

"Know what it is but it's something but of course as you. Although by now anderson silva returned to the boxing ring not too long ago. He pieces up. Julio cesar chavez junior he looked amazing doing it and tito ortiz hasn't fought since he beat former. Wwe wrestler alberto l. patrol four camacho america. Unless you count his city council meetings but here we are damon martin. Let us bring you in here. Anderson silva has one of those moments that we were all very excited to see the smile on his face. He had the swagger back in that boxing ring. There's talks about him. Maybe fighting logan paul and now he's fighting tito ortiz in the boxing ring. So you'll one of the folks who confirmed this fight. What went over you when you confirm this information. I i was at first. I was a little surprised with that. I was like why am i surprised they. Why why am. I surprised at all that does is happening. I mean this is the day and age. We're in in terms of You know. Boxing and celebrity boxing and even mixed martial arts with a certain extent depending on how deep you want to go on other signings. They've been made over these last few years. But listen a part of me when all these five sorta i coming together. A part of me was like oh. It's ruining the sanctity of the sport. I don't like seeing these kind of freak show fights but it over time. I kind of realized you know what we've always kind of embraced freakshow fights. I mean you could argue that you know the great. The late great kimble slice when he signed on and then was doing fine. You could say well. That was a bit of a gimmick and you obviously see him punk signing. Ufc was again make. And there's all kinds of gimmick fights out there so who am. I going to begrudge two guys getting paid. I'm assuming a boatload of money to go out there and box each other You know anderson. You mentioned it mike. Anderson looked happier than ever in that boxing match. Julio cesar chavez junior like i was and it was a joy to watch a guy. Who's covered anderson for so many years and and and i'm with everybody else. Consider him one of the greatest fighters of all time to see that guy looked so happy and so joyous like doing his thing again Who am i gonna begrudge him going out there and and listen. This is a low risk. Fight tito's not a boxer by any stretch of the imagination. I mean he. He's not that what he's never been a boxer so it's a low risk fighting that regret. I mean he just pieced up as you see peace. The julio cesar chavez junior legit boxing champion over eight rounds again. You know why not why not do it. And and tedo. What i wrote the story i had to kind of remember. He's a three five win streak. He'd be chelsea on any beat ab and obviously. I know alberto l. patrol and chuck ladele of twenty twenty one or whenever they've on twenty twenty nine hundred twenty eighteen. Is it the chocolate l. But still three five win tweets. He can't say the guys on the downturn of his career and he's too old to do this so why not look. I mean i get it. There's an audience for this. People are talking about it. We're talking about it. Chiller wants to low this card up with names. Stella delahoya return totally understandable. Is this victory lap kind of thing for trailer being able to put this fight together and putting it on this card like is this something. They should be celebrating and shouting from the rooftops. We got this thing done. This is a big deal. Yeah i think to a point you after. I mean Air anderson because of what anderson did the child as junior anderson's next boxing match no matter who it's going to be is going to be buzzed about and no one is going to say it shouldn't happen because we saw what he did to. Julio these shabas junior i mean that was a legit boxing match and even though it was rendered a split decision as a joke it was a unanimous decision anderson easily won six. Maybe even seven of the eight rounds No one can say he shouldn't. Yeah there now. I'm not saying you should put them in the ring and say we're going to have the matchup with cannella where we're going to fight you triple g or some crazy like that but tito ortiz. Where's the risk i mean. Where's the risk factor in this. And then you know tito. I mean you know i mean listen again. The guys legitimately on three five win streak. And obviously he's taken an l. Off the huntington beach city council. But that's a whole other kind of thing but I listened to guy tito is still relatively active fighting recently. And we know he's still training and again i don't i know this sounds weird saying this because obviously you can get hurt in any combat sport. You're doing but i feel like this is a far lower risk for these two guys to box each other than if you were going to tell me. Hey we're going to book anderson silva against riot hall in the ufc. And that was. That was tough to watch. Seeing anderson lose that way and his last year of c fight. That was hard to watch man. I i hated seeing that in this particular case. It's it's it's low risk and high reward right now. At least from what. I could find the opening. Odds have anderson silva as a minus five hundred favorite the comeback on tito ortiz. Plus three fifty. I was surprised by this line damon. This line should be much larger for anderson sufficient. It like we should be looking at like minus seven eight close to a thousand range in this case. I mean i understand the tito's on three five winning streak in anime but he just seems like i don't know i. It just doesn't seem not that he doesn't belong but it just seems he seems like the one of these things is not like the other. Tito's like the other in this case like in my crazy. no actually. That's the prizes me i. I don't bet on fives. But i feel like i need to take out a loan right now. The money down on this one because innocent should be a nasa favourite. And that's no offense to tito. It's more recobbled into anderson me anderson. We saw what he just legitimately did to a book too legit boxer and did it very well. I mean you could argue. Maybe the size difference will be a little bit. But i mean you know they're gonna find a catchweight some even though tito will probably come in and have if twenty pounds on him. I don't know doubt really matter in the fight. And i mean let's let's not forget. There was a time years ago when tito to re-sign as uc contract. He made dana white commit to a boxing match against them and then the boxing match fell apart. And data's claim and i know this is dana. White says the data's claim was is he actually put a real legit training in and and went out and worked with real boxers to get ready and tito didn't really want to do that. Because it could potentially be an embarrassing situation petito to lose or to have a close boxing match with his boss from the ufc into never happened. So yeah i have a hard time believing. Tito's going to do well in this fight. I think anderson as i agree with you should be probably i mean. Let's just say let's be hypotheticals. Okay tito has been a size on and maybe a little bit of power. So let's mice eight hundred nine hundred but yeah i mean yeah minus five hundred like i said. I'm taking out a loan to put some money down on that. Because anderson anderson should be a massive favourite in his fight. What a fascinating time. We live in damon. Let let me let me throw this out. There just got feeling whatever comes to your mind come..

Today's when i would just come pop up in clayton. It'd be looking at the stop. Watch going what the you know. What got into here. But that's literally what what it will do without any kind of training. It's one of these great. And i've i've heard many people talk about performance enhancers and yes but this doesn't enhance your performance. That's true too. There is a number of things on the banned list that do not enhance you at all. But the performance enhancer. I'll hear a of media talking about that. That is a misconception and miss reporting by them. There is no rule within asada. That says it has to enhance your performance. That's the media has grabbed a performance. Enhancer who saw has allowed list and they have a banned list. If it's on the banned list you can't take it. There is no arguments. That didn't help me doesn't matter that is the media misreporting. What's on that list. Who sought his very clear. Here's the things you can take. Here's the things you cannot take. And i only share that because i've heard a number of guys will that didn't help me. That could be true. I'll tell you. Epo would not fall into that episode. Does work you want to hear it dirty move. You wanna hear. A dirty dirty e. p. o. Story do you guys remember the clear. Victor kante the clear and all the athletes and he was helping marion. jones comes to. I think she even had to do time because she liked lied to congress about this one of the things in the clear that was the name of the substance that victor conte was giving people but was epo so huge ingredient in the recipe.

"Percent increase it's very meaningful. And if you take epsco you wanna take that with iron and with vitamin c. It's the iron that you need but iron cannot be absorbed in your body unless it's with vitamin c. So you take them at the same time and it grows overtime right. If you were to take your shot it comes into shot. You're going to need about ten days for it to kick in but by eighteen. You're going to feel even better by day thirty. It's going to be better. It slowly builds. It's it's just one of these incredible things tough to catch somebody taking. Epl because it can wash through your system within seventy two hours you take it. They got a small window where it can be detected but the benefits can last much more like six weeks eight weeks sometimes so it's very effective. It was also very common. Tj might be the face of it right now. Teaching was the guy that got hit that it was a very common thing. If you could get a hold of it. It was one of the harder ones to get not only share with you now. It's almost impossible to get like icy guys with work arounds of the rules of asada commonly soon as they their shirt off i can spot them but epo is very rare that just somebody that could get a hold of it and now because of saw we also now how to take it and not get caught not to say any more than that. But they're the ones that taught us. They're the ones that told the world had to take it and not get caught. You don't see a lot of it though. It's one of these things it's hard to find. How's it going to affect tj. That seems to be a question and many people have said that when somebody is using a performance hanser and they come off at you not only have the physical aspect that gets compromised. You deeper level have a psychological aspect where the athlete will think. I can't do it. I don't have my candy right as popeye with health. The spinach type thing and from personal experience. I don't know that i could attest to that. I don't know that i felt that. I think i felt the same either way. Because by example when i had say in this case it didn't give me any more confidence i didn't. I didn't have less of a conference. I can just share with you. There is a physical side. I truly have done the very experiment that i told you. I have truly ran. two miles. Clayton hires us to have me run. Every single sunday in it was uphill. Oh my goodness the hardest work out. I've ever done to do it every sunday. And i'm in oregon so it didn't matter if it was snowing it didn't matter if it was raining it did not matter if it was if it was sunday. I'm running this hill. And i've done that. I work at barely. Make up all every bit of toughness every mental toughness begging praying that i can just get one foot in front of the next to get up this incline. There'd be other days when i had that. Epo in full effect. And at the time. I didn't know the difference. I didn't understand what it was doing right. I was working with dr chill. You take as boom no questions asked but looking back looking back at my career or even at that run specifically on the ditties where i wanted to quit where i barely barely crawled across that finish line. Today's when i would just come pop up in clayton. It'd be looking at the stop. Watch going what the you know. What got into here. But that's literally what what it will do without any.

"Three minute hasn't been in their toll of five minutes possible miss. What does this fight offer. What is this five four. Why are we going out and doing this. I trust at once. That question is answered. It's going to be very simple. We don't need an in depth psychological review here. We just need an answer. That's all is there about competitions about getting healthy is about staying the shape remember. Bj penn sticking around for a while but bj was telling people. I'm getting distracted. May keep me in this great. We get it. We know the answer. Very simple very straightforward. Wasn't anything mind blowing. I don't suggest for you that this needs to be or that. The answer is i'm still stuck. If this is a personal grudge help took you. Two boys seventeen years to figure out why is robbing never called for nick and nick has never called for robbie. So don't try to sell me on. Some kind of of personal grudge when it add up this about rankings and containership got my attention. I'm listening. I don't care what robbie lawler is. Ranked wanna know where to find it. Don't know if even is he's a former world champion it matters so that's the journey that nick is on. I love to hear. But it's still one of these things were intel.

What do you do with gilbert burns. What happens to wonderboy stock. What is bosnian. All going to do next is covington fighting uis men. What is the delay on that announcement by the way. Kobe says they're fighting. Boozman doesn't disagree. Dana says we want to not signed. But there's some kind of answer right. Something is holding those things up. I remember the first time. I heard that kobe was gonna fight. Kamara was in november of last year and as soon as we got off of that was going to be kobe versus mazda. They even going to do the ultimate fire. Just something's happening. There is happening at one. Seventy we know that shemaya coming back. That's going to be in meaningful fashion. He's got to get one out of the ways gotta show that everything's behind him right everything that cost him in the last eight. Ten months is all behind him. He's now switched management teams. What does that mean if anything right. He just got a dj. Gotta do you gotta come out and show and do something. So let's take a second to transition from mma to the world of boxing where some rumors of another potential mega fight are beginning to swirl logan paul versus anderson silva. It sounds as though this is the direction they're going but vegas is now. Come out with a line on it. If that matches to take place logan's the favourite. Does that surprise you guys. That doesn't sound right to me. Logan paul is the favourite to beat anderson silva logan. Just lost to floyd anderson just beat chavez. I think that really helps anderson stock and fairness nobody knew if he could go in there and bach. Chavez's a real fighter he's knucklehead and he's got his own his own issues with training but he's a real fight he's a real boxer for sure anderson beat them in his home town went to a decision. I didn't get to see the match. But imagine how badly anderson would've had to beat him to have the judges give him the decision. I often the filthy sport of boxing. But secondly in shove as juniors hometown anderson must have really put it on this guy so if you say that logan is going to anderson which is what the lines have it right now. You're saying that logan could beat chavez junior. Does that sound weird anybody right. I mean. I think that the polls have proved tough. Guys they take it serious. They go up there. They train hard him. And i think they've proved whole lot of things. I don't know of logan's ever wanna fight. I'm not trying to be a dick right now. I thought he had a draw over in england right member when he followed the or did they go to a draw or even he lost and then you had the fight with four..

"Guys i was on. Espn for king over here today. Talking with george. And the topic came up of nick the as versus robbie lawler. George poses it to me paycheck. How excited are you for the sick man very. I'm very excited for it. Everybody is right. there's something special. It is the most basic law of economics supply and demand. There's no supply of nick. There's no part of me that wants to put this. I want to understand on a deeper level right. I don't want to just see the walkouts in the interviews in knicks there in the mean mugging and the whole bit. I want to also know. What does this mean. Does nick want three fights. By example does he want five fights as you want to fights is as possibly a one and done. Is this just a competition. Is he going through his midlife crisis. It's a real thing could be. I don't know that. I need the same answer for robbie. Robbie is always up for fistfight. Nothing's new here. I don't know that. Robbie ever says no when he's feeling healthy to anyone. I've never heard that he does so. Everything's in line for lawler. I gotta no one nick for five years. Nobody offered whatever it was. Nick uniquely is looking for and we can't guess we can't just put ourselves in his shoes. He marches to the beat of his own drum. so what is it that lawler offers. What is this about this opportunity. Not that it's a main event. He was going to be made of anyway. It's not the way class of seventy. He could come back to one seventy. His previous fight was at one eighty five with anderson. He could stay there too. He gave hints on social media that he was going to go all the way down to one fifty five whatever all works no conflict. So what is it with lawler. I'm still stuck at that in. It's not just that it's a big fight. Anything nick does is going to be a big fight right. They're all gonna be home runs. But they're not all going to be grand slams nick versus mazda. You're talking about a grand slam. But that's not the fight that we have nick versus shemaya of possible miss it all fairness possible miss one guy that been out for five years another guy. that's whipped..

"In the sense that oscars images as absorbed on lot of damage. I think is maybe even an understatement over the years so and he's not fighting someone who people care about him fighting. I don't really know yes. He's still a star that resonates with mainstream people outside of the boxing world. Or those kinds of people going to buy this. I i don't. I don't know why would exactly Because because again what purposely if he wins who cares means supposed to win and he's not it's not like it's going to lead to him coming back and fighting real people any again. He should not be doing them. Fifty shouldn't be doing. That is an amazing career. Fought everybody six division champion hall of famer one of the best fighters of his generation. But it's over. I mean it all He's free to do whatever he wants. Of course if he can cash in on his name a little bit more power to 'em i guess but i just don't see the point of it just as i didn't really now floyd floyd mayweather told all of us before this exhibition. You should look at his real fight. We're going to go in there and move around or whatever eighty told people what it was i mean and i'm sure who is not treating this like like when he fought bernard hopkins in two thousand four many of the other fights the real fights the ad. We fought mayweather bargains and many others. So it's not like he's trying to sell it as a real fight but it's just like mayweather said this is the kind of is what it is and over a million people bought it and who knows how many people stole a stream. I mean people were interested in it. Because logan paul was this polarizing. Youtube guy was much younger and much bigger. Belford doesn't have that going for him. He's not much younger. And he's not nearly as popular as logan paul in the grand scheme of maybe the found the perfect opponent forum and it worked out financially. I'm sure for him. But as you know being down there ford's not doing that again. I think floyd got his fill of the exhibition against bigger guys. Experience at forty years old. I don't think he's like it'll be like delahoya. He is going to probably violently. Stop out knockout. Abell for like. I think that's the most like i think he's still gonna be able to summon the power to get a stoppage in a fight like this but it doesn't mean anything to your point. It means nothing like it's this is a guy that doesn't that doesn't box and has never taken a punch like that. It's totally different. Take shots and combat sports then taking it in a boxing ring so if oscar can make some money good for him but again just like with floyd go in with measured expectations. The bar for what you're about to see keep always appreciate your time. Man you can read stuff over. At boxing scene dot com. Follow him on social media at i deck boxing on twitter. Always good to catch up. Man always chris. Try to stay indoors there. L. paso i'll look for you press row. I'll i'll leave a little platelet for you.

"He doesn't want People in his camp or at least not general media in his camp Stu bet i wrote during the week actually liked the water. Lot and deontay wilder is a life. Success story no matter what happens with this fury. All he's overcome to get here is just as legacy. Now is a little bit under scrutiny. A little bit complicated because of all the things that happened over the last year and a half right saturday night keith was supposed to be headlined by fema. Lopez lightweight title. Defense against george cambosix however that fight has been postponed after lopez tested positive for covid nineteen. That did not sit well with campo sister called lopez irresponsible for not getting vaccine. It's worth noting that lopez. Don't promoter bob arum who continues to alienate lopez in several different ways. He said something. Similar to that effect us kim boasts have appoint with his outrage but displeasure at tiffy lopez for not protecting himself against this type of outcome. Yes but it's my understanding. The cambosix refused to get vaccinated. Also so. I don't know they're both taking a huge risk with that type of money at stake so i don't know why either of them would not have gotten vaccinated People have their opinions. And of course it's not the law in the united states to get vaccinated but you do have a responsibility for the people that your business with. Especially i think as as pertains to the fighters on the undercard because a lot of the there were twelve fights altogether on his card. So you have twenty two fighters on the undercard. That are making nowhere near three point. Nine million two point two million purses for votes and now they're out all these training expenses and yet most of them. I'm assuming all of them are supposed to fight on august fourteenth when this fight is rescheduled. But if they don't a million things could happen to all the fighters involved over these next two months and then they could be out of payday. So it's just it is. You're responsible to an extent whatever your personal beliefs might be and from a business. Perspective is downright dumb. To be honest with you. I mean it's just not now. One thing i will say is they had not sold a lot of tickets to this event so bringing this hard to a smaller venue in two months might work out from a financial standpoint for the promoter of whoever's on the hook there for for renting the venue in everything because that is a very expensive venues for rent the miami marlins stadiums utah venue Too big of a venue. Obviously for a fight of this magnitude because they had not sold a lot of tickets. As i said so so best probably that it somewhere else also better that. It is not competing with four other boxing cards on the same day. Although your card starts in the afternoon and would not directly compete with it. There are three other events including well. I don't know what we want to call this chavez thing but it is a pay per view boxing event. I don't. I don't know who's watching that. Exactly but anderson silva is coming up on the show later on so. There's my tease. Hopefully he won't beat me up for saying that but but but all kidding aside. Chris there are there are two now jamaal.

"One for an end from elliot perspective. He's getting a one on one with the onta- wilder which is good for his youtube channel. So i understand him agreeing to it but he didn't answer any tough questions during that or twelve minute interview but again i was not on the call with the british reporters but i'm sure they did ask them about it now. He's lucky he could very easily shut this all down by simply i'm not saying that's the way he should go about it but he could say. I'm just not answering any questions about what. I said about the gloves. Or what i said about mark breeland. Or what i said about whatever a costume. Whatever the the countless list of things he has said since last february he could just say. I'm not discussing it. And then you could continue to ask him but know that he's not going to answer. I thought that too that you know. It's one thing for wilder to say all the things he said to friendly interviewers which he's been doing up until this point not getting a lot of pushback on some of his accusations but in that room if he had done kind of the usual report know. How boxing pressures work. You have the stuff that's televised streamed. And then you break off into small groups and both biter speak to different reporters for sure if wilder had broken off into a small group and faced some of the actual reporters that were in that room. I know lance pug meyer. Your friend and mine was in that room. Charlotte's would have drilled down on this issue of the gloves. And look there's there's no real doesn't have any evidence people keep pointing to that video. That was out there. Like that's not really evidence of loading gloves. It's not evidence of manipulating gloves. I don't think he would have had answers keith to the questions beyond like you saw this. You saw the mark on my head like these are not. These are not answers like like i would have said to if i was sitting with them. Like look you keep talking about manipulated gloves. The data commission was in the room when fury laced up his gloves. Your trainer j. Dis was in the room when fury laced up his glove. This is not going to some far flung country where you might be able to get away with certain things. It's tough for all the critiques about nevada keith. Like it's tough to get away with stuff out there. So i don't think i honestly don't think he wanted to face scrutiny. For some of the things that he ultimately said that. That's just my opinion on that. But i think that that had something to do with it. Yeah i think that's clearly what happened chris. He just doesn't wanna face the music of the speak about anything that he has said over the last fifteen or sixteen months and that's clearly his perogative but it does. It does not reflect well on him and when we get to fight week. I don't know how much more availability there's going to be. Because he's been very selective about who he speaks to and that's his writing. He can continue to do that if he wants. But during fight week are going to be reporters there in the room with him. That are going to ask him tough questions and again he does not have to answer those questions. Not any obligation to do that. But he is going to be asked whether he likes it or not. Yeah i mean. I i asked to go down to alabama to spend a couple of days. I was turned down for that..

Breaking news out of the world to the USC USC to thirty four tonight in Melbourne Australia on pay per view, Robert Wood. It covers coming gasping for the middleweight title cancelled that flight has been canceled because Robert Whitaker is going under the knife. In a matter of moments in Australia for a hernia certainly wish him the best. I'm curious Ali is Kelvin going to get paid. How's this gonna work because you just went through a training camp? What's the deal? I'm certain UFC has told you what they're gonna do. Can you? Tell us. Yeah. Always come through for me, you know. And he said he was going to kick out. You know, I understand you know, he went to a camp. And and you put a lot of money into it investment. A lot of money into it. And at the end of the day. This is. You know, I'm not worried about him. I know he will be paid. Thanks for doing this Ali very sorry about the news our best to to Kelvin as well. Speak for everyone. Everyone is bummed out about this. We're looking forward to it. I appreciate you coming on for a few minutes. He will take care. He was. And I have no doubt in my mind. Dana white and you'll see them because they're taking care of my guys sounds good. Thank you Ellie. Let's go back to the phone lines. Now talk to more fans. Breaking news again Robert Whitaker out of tonight's made event. Ernie a- surgery scheduled for Madame moments from now in Melbourne devastating news, not only for the UFC. But for Robert Whitaker who continues to get all these freaking bad breaks time. And again, he had shingles. Prior to the last time that they were in Melbourne with him headlining that card was supposed to be against Luke rock hold now. Just hours before the event he has to pull out and is going under the knife Joseph Detroit. How are you? Good. How about you area? I'm doing okay. Good. I just got a few questions for you that I think they should let the winner of tonight. And Calvin fight for the official title Whitaker should be stripped. It's just my opinion. Well, I wanna see how long he's out for this is definitely a bad break. But I typically like to subscribe to the rule that if you don't defend your title or you're not scheduled to fight within a year. Then you should be stripped in this case he last fought in June. So let's see how far he's out. Let's see how long he's out for. I should say let's see how long of a recovery this is needed. And then let's talk about stripping in. But I think right now, it's a little premature to talk about stripping. Because he pulled out last year knee injury. I think it's better for him. You don't have to take some time off. But my second question is not question opinion. True. They're gonna make McGregor verse Copley for the I think it should be Tony Emporia for the interim. Yeah, that's Donald Surani just talking right now from what I'm hearing the interim belt isn't being discussed. I don't think a belt is needed for that kind of fight. I don't think a belt elevates that kind of fight certainly not an interim title. So at this juncture, I think that's just cowboy talking and look he's going to get the fight. It seems like that's the front runner. I don't think you need to push for an interim thing anyone wants it, quite frankly, I think the interim belt would would almost like soil that that fight. I don't think anyone wants to see an interim belt online. I don't think either guys should be fighting for an interim belt when you have guys like Tony dust emporium ally. Doing what they've done as of late. Let's go back to the phone lines and say Hello to Corey in California, Corey how are you? Hey, I'm good. How you doing? I'm doing. Okay. Some some disappointing news, but we still have a car tonight. But yeah, it's it's a bummer. These things happen from time to time in in mixed martial arts and. I mean, this is a big one especially because it's the Australian who's now out of the card. Yeah. Honestly, like you said before man, I don't know how these injuries happened the day of the fight. How much are you actually doing? Such a serious injury. But I don't know it's fight game. And it happens. But. So my original copies I called about it. Now trying to shake up. I was gonna say do you think that Anderson is? His own legacy a little bit by taking these bigger fights with the much younger guys are like the fights with whatever, obviously, they're bigger fights. And he's a big name. And do you think that you have tarnished by throwing them into a fight with Israel, just because if Anderson, but then it turns around and now Anderson is card having a big name for Israel to fight. So do you think that enersen should lay off he's bigger fights? Or do you think he's finer you think his legacy Jenner hurt in the end after all this look if we're talking about tarnishing legacies? The only thing that's maybe tarnished his legacy. So to speak is the fact that he was caught with PD's twice other than that. I mean, I don't think opponents will tarnish anyone's like seeing fact to meet on the elevates your legacy because you're finding the toughest guys even as you're in your swansong so to speak. I like the fact that he's taken this fight. Everyone thought it was a mistake. It's an opponent that he thinks he could beat he's fourteen years older. He feels like maybe he's not as experiences him. Maybe he hasn't fought the kind of competition that he's. So I don't think this is. I mean, imagine he pulls it off great story George Foreman. It's like Randy tour all over again. So I honestly don't think that he's tarnishing his legacy on this one. Let's go to one quick call before we take another break Hamilton, Ohio. What's up man areas? A pleasure speaking with you. I want to go back to the UC days, or so I started hearing your voice. Boy that was handled by the UFC. I am so proud that you've come to where you had with the hard work. You've done to put yourself in today's position. Thank you know, as far as what's happening transplanted melborn sad. And that's the core. So the nature of the game. My question to you is at forty three year old is now put himself in position we he's probably going to be having to save this card. I understand that. There's not a lot of four weeks on your old man at his weight. They can do anything except maybe defend themselves. Does he really have a chance to see wing? And do you see this only in the heavyweight World War forty yours can compete one or two times? This gentleman is not tarnishing his world. It just a building him being allowed to do this because of his name and his past of fighting really realistically can this man really compete at this level with this young kid. I mean that remains to be seen. I don't think it's a bad matchup firm. In fact, I'd say he's too big of an underdog. I'm curious to see if he can turn back the clock tonight. But yeah, it's a great call to great point. The best news is this flight hasn't been canceled. So we're about to find out in a matter of moments in a matter of hours, whether or not Anderson Silva can hang with Israel to Sonya after the break. We're going to be joined by my colleague, my partner shell son. And he's in Melbourne. I want to get his take on things. He knows coming gasoline almost better than anyone. He was the one who drafted him on the ultimate fighter way. Back when devastating news Robert Whittaker's out of tonight's UFC two thirty four main event. And I just got details about how it all went down. I'll tell you about all that and more right after the break. You're listening to Hawaii's may show right here on ESPN radio and ESPN app this
