"No I i mean. I think once once he can. I don't know. I really don't speaking of cnn punk. Why do to answer one other thing. I got a question from galle from toronto listener. He said why do they make the rounds in boxing. Even doesn't that make it easy for a fight to draw. And i'll tell you what when jake paul is off to the races and he was up three nothing but then willie back and knocked him. Not down hurt him because the knockdown would been attending but had either gotten had. He won the next three. You know we were looking at a possibility of four four draw for. Why did we do all this for Galley pro boxing fights for us to be fifteen rounds. And the tha if i recall may have only been the title fights. I don't know but when ray movements Do kook. Kim believes name was in do cou cam succumbed to injuries and died afterwards. They made the flights go from fifty now over twelve minutes. Sorry over twelve rounds. We get our fair share draws but. It's not as much as you think. But i could see rounds. Maybe they're being more draws out there and so will the solution be this Nine round fight out there. Maybe but i followed boxing. Pretty well and you start off at four six eight ten and that's just the way it works and i think back. I think it doesn't matter too much if you get the draw. Losses definitely hurt you in boxing but All i can tell you they used to be fifteen in the and that definitely helped out a little bit. But i i was thinking the same thing. Is you through through half vitals. This could wind up john. I don't know that draws hurt boxing. Though right 'cause genuinely means a rematch of a big fight again right because really if you think about it. If rounds it's ten rounds whatever. It's four four five. That was such a big deal in the hated draws at much they could almost turn it into all right. We'll when we get to that bennett's we The judges have to pick a winner. You know who who they thought overall won the fight you know kinda like pride stuck if they hated draws much but i don't really think they. Hey draws yeah. Yeah i don't know. I don't know I would not have wanted to see paul woodley. Run back if they drew But i would wanna see them running back. If the one but jake paul's in control of things and i already saw the fight happen and that's that they can get back to it. It would be fights other people in wins than i think. Hopefully jake polidori considered any has a clear opening there with the tattoo. I just don't always going to do it or what. That's the ultimate getting pumped to be gets. The tattoo nj boggles now. I'm not gonna. I mean those things are permanent. You know what. I mean like that would be. That'd be brutal the to carry that on you near that love. Jack dig politics when you not get the remiss so he was a legal binding jackson where that makes it worth it to get this to you. Know what i mean. You have to expect that your tyron woodley especially with jake paul. I mean i'd say almost expect that with anybody. But with jake paul you have to have to have so. He's already talked about it. You know like if you were to do it there would be some kind of legal document that says the fight has to happen. But that's where. I'm confused because i felt like they didn't even need to do any of that. I thought i thought they. They had a handshake deal with the. That's what was gonna happen. It'd be so. I don't know why jake paul Even gave him that out in the urgency with tyrant as he's been around. Call when something's hot you do it. But at the same time the clocks probably taken And who knows how he's been with finances maybe he's been better off than than people think. hopefully this was enough money to make them stable for a few years if and when the next one happens but we have to move on a little bit talk about justin gauging some comments he had about the lightweight. Division is this used to be the marquee division. What happened ever since we'd left. He says we're kind of a laughing stock now. He's bitter because two fighters that fought for the interim side. The vacant title were michael channel. Charles lavera of course. No one's trying to disrespect them but he's had the type of career where he wasn't dominant at one point. Eight took some els in two different divisions. And i think this is something. That's been satellite. He seemed like the type of guy that was a front runner if he was kicking your ass but the minute the tide turned and he faced some adversity. There was a lot of times where he checked out now to be fair. I haven't seen that charles river in the last three years. Chander really had him against the ropes will say and oliver was able to come back and win so the win streak backs it up his back. It up look good But something just doesn't sit right with gauging. I understand what he's saying. You have a dominant champ like habib leading the way and you have all these other killers than yeah you gotta agree that divisions up there you know as one of the best but right now what you have is oliver boy a and it seems that we have to twist poised to take the fight because of conor mcgregor with healthy. I'm not sure. Dustin foyer takes that fight so again is there seems.

"That got into this because we knew out safai you know and yeah i started do martial lhasa. Eight years old. A lot of people started do martial-arts but we still out to fire. So we hold that dear to our heart you know to me and then once that starts to go once that starts to get chipped away one stop people to start to see all maybe not the best in the world. It's fucking incredibly hard to deal with. And it's a tough pill to swallow so yeah. I think that's exactly why we're starting to see him be quite so what's the word. I'm looking for nasty for. Want of a better word on social media. Yeah that's what i saw the one like. You said he answered. Somebody's tweet yesterday or the day before we talking about his money and has like that to me is the somebody was talking about loss. He he reacted with the money thing. And that's to me. The clearest evidence i've seen yet did get into them because when you're lu- when you're not the best fighter and your reaction to being called out is the best fighter you lost the fight or whatever. Your reaction has more money than you because you can't answer the other question. Which is the question about your ability. And i still think connor can come back. Will he ever be the best the world again. I don't know i can't speak to that. Listen listen when you won your chairmanship. Mike i remember talking to you before. And after that fight with rock hold you had every daughter in the world saying you'll never be a champion. You'll you've had the opportu- you're going to be there and then you went out and sock to work. So i'm negative center and say conor can't come back and prove it but this antics does this thing he's doing right now. It's just like i don't know. I really i really. I really hurting his calls more than he's helping his calls. I guess what i'm getting at. Yeah i mean you're asking these questions about mcgregor so you're not going to be careful because people just accusing being another. I'm a haitong not that i'm jealous. I'm very very happy. Micro basic draftsman. Never wanted to be another mom. As long as i've been alive. The reality is this doll. Jason perello my coach He's father was a motivational speaker. And jason always used to tell me this disa- phrase or speech that father would give unable. And i'm going to butcher this but it's something along these lines. He says everybody in live on everything in life getting a second of everyday life is something. Whatever i forget what that he's always on the top you will always be on the budget and the beauty of this knowledge. Is that when you're on the top. You will remain humble when you're on the ball trivial. Say confident that your time will come again by comrades time in the fucking sun simplest and now someone else. She's ted kennedy. Come back of course you can. Of course you can you know everyone can but but but we tend to get one. Prime could be talking about it recently. About tony ferguson. Was he tony for exerts. Saying you know he is on the decline now and sadly does appear to be that way you know told. His losing fights noun tremendous win streak generally has fires. You don't get multiple prides. Khanna came into this fucking incredible. Things can get back to that farm baby. Is it likely probably not. Because that's a knock-on conor dot is just what history shells you commend. You do great things you start to go into decline difficult it is what is i mean. That's not a knock on. Connor didn't credible things and i will say. I respect the fact that he wants to come back. And do the ice trying to be calm jumpy and again. Because he doesn't have to do that. God knows you've got tons of money. You could say on his one of his yacht so the rest of his days but he doesn't want to do that that you gotta respect the absolute last thing. We'll get out of here before we know the other side of this equation. He beat conor twice. Now he's in a situation real quick and we'll we'll go back on. This also gave you my opinion real quick. You give me your opinion position. Now charles oliveira or ideas that seems to be one of those two fights now argue. Go fight ideas. I know people are gonna freak out. When i say that but i think if i make your big chunk of money because it becomes champion. That probably goes away forever or at least you know most likely goes away forever. Because i doubt the going to give me a title shot. Go make your bank man. Go make your money charles. All will be there and he'll be there whoever's the champ you'll be there if i'm a golf i need to make your seven eight figure paycheck. What do you say. we're who should support next. I mean it all depends on the finances emporia. I would assume you the very well out of that loss ultimately. That's what we're here for. We're here to make money. You know we all prizefight as we do with the cash but we do for the legacy as well. Then there's no better legacy than becoming champion of the world and then defending the belt. You've got to defend the belt. You know that that's when you'll always be called champ. You win is great when you defend it to be actually cold champ for turn ity agile. Show going out there and find employ so sorry. Pardon me batty for me. That would be my first and foremost because you contact that away. That's the title that no-one can take and it will go down in history and then from that if he beats charles lavera which i would favor him to do so he's got nothing about big vice after that anyway. He's a big star now. We just knocked out connor twice the roar. Whatever you wanna call it So you know. He's he built a huge fan base off that dusty was already a big star anyway. We'll look diaz. You know what what i mean when he kinda mcgregor abatement. That second five days is now massive star. The only because conor mcgregor because they ideas is you know he's gangster attitude the rest of it and people admire his ass. Utah's a sport. The point of making his. If those employees is now massive story becomes the job. He's have nutley. Bob massey paydays anyway and you never know you never know i would favor dusty to be this but uconn ride nate this out of the situation and just say expanded that to begin and if he gets b of diaz will he ain't sniffen tower shaw anytime soon. It's going to go back on. You know he's got to go back on the junta gang. Start taking taking some names. No i completely disagree. I think he's gotta go off the lavera become the champion of the world and then probably defend about gates connor. You know you can find diaz whoever there's tons of challenges for the gold the gold is always gonna be the gold domain. He was setting himself year after year. If i was very humble and he said to me remember i was on a bus i was compensated. So mon- somewhere of me. I think he brazil and he was compensated Pumpkin he was cold ring. Someone and i saw him on the bus. Getting off at the hotel said to you know say unlucky man unlucky gas. Do good day book. It's just a babe and he said he said. Now i know my thank you give it up. Hope is if your career really really is by what managed to achieve the career is what gives me hope you know so that was beautiful of to say that but i understand what it means so i know personally what it means to hint to become the champ. You know that's what goes down in the history books. That's what people remember when way. Both dead embarrassing. You look back at the hall of fame and you look at the champions if he becomes the champ dustin pedroia his name will be there right whereas if you just make the money it bought necessarily be. That's true thus for you know whose name is in the hall of fame and who is a champion. That's michael let you go. You obviously always got a million things going on. Obviously your podcast guarantees. What else is going on you got. I know In october you got some also speaky gigs. Over in your over in england and i am like litter. I'm i talking to. I was talking to our mutual friend. And evans about this. I'm like i am so fascinated by these speaking gigs doing So what else you got going on. You always got a million things going on. Yeah yeah i mean. I just lost my youtube page just regionally bites spotless camera around there's just tons and tons of boxes because i bought a ton of stuff and produce could attend this way mature a proper studio but they'll still be there in those boxes to because i just got time to dedicate to doing it got a few movie things coming up.

"charles lavera" Discussed on Five Rounds with Brett Okamoto

"I've always as a guy that i was always championship. I it was. It motivated all my decisions but the reality is when you're in dustin situation you can fight other guys that have much bigger name value but for me it was always just the next guy up and i think whereas maybe i was more vocal on the microphone in. I didn't always say whatever the ufc says next. I think that's the biggest mistake fighters make. I always kind of just fought the next guy and luckily it was in opportunities to make a lot of money but the reality is a volkan old. Aveer fight wasn't ideal for me but he was the next guy. Now as the champion you always got the next. It doesn't matter what they have done in terms of name recognition. All that matters is what they have put on paper to put them in any title shot. In most instances in for dozen he gets that belt. Whoever wins in earns a title shot. He'll have to fight them in. That won't always be the neat d. As conor mcgregor's of the world that are guaranteed to move the needle in terms of pay per views. And listen and that's kind of. I'm not necessarily going to say the old way of the ufc but now since it's built stars you're going to get some of these won't call them super fights but we'll call them super draws as fight but when you think about dustin horia having an opportunity or at least chirping at nate say that fight gets made and we're all excited about it we know is going to be a brawl know that it's going to be bloody and dust is going to be skillful and on attack the entire time who chose oliveira fight. Then right you did you coming off beating michael chandler. Now you have an opportunity to move onto the next guy which we all assumed would be dusted pouring now. That fight isn't made. Who does the champion get next. Because you say it's next guy up. All the crazy thing about that is right is having a champion. That isn't necessarily known to the general public right to the casual fan. They don't really know bronx. You knew props because you love fighting in your hardcore fan arrest sport but if you walk charles oliveira right. See when you playing for the steelers. If you walk charles very into that locker room very few people will know charles will there. But it had like me into impala my daughter. Yes that's it right. You would have known ause lavera because you love the sport. But if connor walked in there then bill car would walk over to conor mcgregor. You know what i'm saying like. They know they all know him. That's the problem with having a guy that isn't known to the fans because is a guy like dustin who could honestly propel. Charles lavera would. A victory over dusted says my values a little high for this guy. Even though he's holding the belt. I prefer to fight the other guy. That's where the issue arises in. That's where it can be a problem for stars that don't hold the championship. Because then they start to see value in the bigger fight. A folding the belt in as an organization you always want that belt to be the grand prize. You don't want a mcgregor fight to be the ultimate prize to the competitor. The prize needs to stay the championship. And it seems like right now. Things are changing men. Things are changing all around the world in terms of sport right. I saw my guy herbstreet on sportscenter. They talking about how the world's changing in college sports because of the nfl. I mean the money is changing everything across the board all sports. I think the same thing is happening in the ufc. Yeah well what changes. I didn't even question. I didn't even have no idea. Hey that's because you answer like six other questions in question as so it's okay because you did have the show anyway. But even when i started thinking about the total lavar or i think about the ufc. You had to look at the shift in dana white right recently. We did a show and we started listening to dana. Talk about the interim belt in the wbo in ibm. And we're thinking back to you know it's like hagler hearns and sugar ray leonard and roberto duran when you can have all these champions who are who are truly hughes draws and get those guys to fight each other. That wasn't the tune that dana white was singing back in today. That wasn't the ufc that he was trying to make. That was the whole huge deal about there. Only being one belt. but that tai has totally shifted. And i think that tied has shifted is because now you have people at home like me looking at. Surreal and saying okay. That due to the interim channel he's also undefeated and so now every time we see him leading up to a fight against francis and god who not only will francis and gone to have a championship belt in front of him. But cyril gone will as well and that's how the game has changed. This has changed to make stars. I remember watching anderson silvio in his heyday and understanding every time he stepped into the octagon. Somebody was about to give blues whether he was going to have to run backwards a hit for griffin with the straight with a straight straight jab and put him to the ground whether he was gonna getting beat by our colleague shell sunan for the entire fight and did find a way to submit him. I knew ended. Civil was going to win but still was he making the type of money that he deserved. Was he making more money than he'll make from. Having exhibition fights now know the game has changed. And i think when the game changes the athlete has to change and when the athlete changes the way they approach their decision making change. And that's where we are now. And i love it for the ufc. I love it for these fighters. The game is too hard to not make your money when you have a chance. Absolutely you know i. I know the guys are thinking more like business professionals in because they're thinking more like professionals you'll see things like that not listen. It is still our see. There are people though that are draws and are still looking to find the shortest path to the title because for a guy like game brit for guy like mas vidal is one of the bigger draws in the entire sport. He understands that he can only be bigger now by holding that championship belt when she has fought for twice and loss so did mahidol goes back to the drawing board says what gets me closer and now it seems like mazda. Dole is ready to accept the fight with gilbert burns which would be fantastic but he can also seems to be willing to accept the fight against leon edwards which this fight has everything to it but this is what the reno said to say daybreak. You know it's all respect for me. Let's dance in november december. I ready my guy is super necessary. Let's do two super necessary. would gain. Bread says in regards to everything now with game. Red sets wants game red super necessary when he punched. Leon was in the face backstage when he said. I do peas in the soda. I love the renewal fight. The leonida was fight for me..

It motivated all my decisions but the reality is when you're in dustin situation you can fight other guys that have much bigger name value but for me it was always just the next guy up and i think whereas maybe i was more vocal on the microphone in. I didn't always say whatever the ufc says next. I think that's the biggest mistake fighters make. I always kind of just fought the next guy and luckily it was an opportunities to make a lot of money but the reality is a volkan old. Aveer fight wasn't ideal for me but he was the next guy. Now as the champion you always got the next. It doesn't matter what they have done in terms of name recognition. All that matters is what they have put on paper to put them any title shot. In most instances in for dozen. He gets that belt. Whoever wins in earns a title shot. He'll have to fight them in. That won't always be the neat d. As conor mcgregor's of the world that are guaranteed to move the needle in terms of pay per views. And listen and that's kind of. I'm not necessarily going to say the old way of the ufc but now since it's built stars you're going to get some of these won't call them super fights but we'll call them super draws as fight but when you think about dustin emporia having an opportunity or at least chirping at nate say that fight gets made and we're all excited about it we know is going to be a brawl. We know that it's going to be bloody and dust is going to be skillful and on attack the entire time who chose oliveira fight. Then right you did you. Coming off. Beating michael chandler. Now you have an opportunity to move onto the next guy which we all assumed would be dusted pouring now. That fight isn't made. Who does the champion get next. Because you say it's next guy up. All the crazy thing about that is right is having a champion. That isn't necessarily known to the general public right to the casual fan. They don't really know bronx. You knew props because you love fighting in your hardcore fan arrest sport but if you walk charles oliveira right. See when you playing for the steelers. If you walk charles a into that locker room very few people will know charles will there. But it into impala my daughter. Yes that's it. Right you would have known charles oliveira because you love the sport. But if connor walked in there then bill car would walk over to conor mcgregor. You know what i'm saying like. They know they all know him. That's the problem with having a guy that isn't known to the fans because is a guy like dustin who could honestly propel. Charles lavera would. A victory over dusted says my values a little high for this guy. Even though he's holding the belt. I prefer to fight the other guy. That's where the issue arises in. That's where it can be a problem for stars that don't hold the championship. Because then they start to see value in the bigger fight. A folding the belt in as an organization you always want that built to be the grand prize. you don't want a mcgregor fight to be the ultimate prize to the competitor. The prize needs to stay the championship. And it seems like right now. Things are changing men. Things are changing all around the world in terms of sport right. I saw my guy herbstreet on sportscenter. They talking about how the world's changing in college sports because of the nfl. I mean the money is changing everything across the board all sports. I think the same thing is happening in the ufc what changes i didn't even question. I didn't even have no idea. Hey that's because you answer like six other questions in question as so it's okay because you did have the show anyway but even when i started about lavar or i think about the ufc you had to look at the shift in dana white right recently. We did a show. And we started listening to dana. Talk about the interim belt in the the oh and ibm and we're thinking back to you know it's like hagler hearns and sugar ray. Leonard and roberto duran. Well you can have all these champions who are who are truly hughes draws and get those guys to fight each other. That wasn't the tune that dana white was singing back in today. That wasn't the ufc that he was trying to make. That was the whole huge deal about there. Only being one belt but that tai has totally shifted. And i think that tied has shifted is because now you have people at home like me looking at surreal. Gone and saying okay. That due to the interim channel he's also undefeated and so now every time we see him leading up to a fight against francis and god who not only will francis and gone to have a championship belt in front of him but several gone will as well and that's how the game has changed. This has changed to make stars. I remember watching anderson silvio in his heyday and understanding every time he stepped into the octagon. Somebody was about to get blues whether he was going to have to run backwards a hit for griffin with a straight with a straight straight jab and put him to the ground whether he was gonna getting beat by our colleague tail sunan for the entire fight and did find a way to submit him. I knew ended. Civil was going to win but still was he making the type of money that he deserved. Was he making more money than he'll make from. Having exhibition fights now know the game has changed. And i think when the game changes the athlete has to change and when the athlete changes go way they approach their decision making change. And that's where we are now. And i love it for the ufc. I love it for these fighters. The game is too hard to not make your money when you have a chance. Absolutely you know i. I know the guys are thinking more like business professionals in because they're thinking more like professionals you'll see things like that not listen. It is still our see. There are people though that are draws and are still looking to find the shortest path to the title because for a guy like game brit for guy like mas vidal is one of the bigger draws in the entire sport. He understands that he can only be bigger now by holding that championship belt when she has fought for twice and loss so did mahidol goes back to the drawing board says what gets me closer and now it seems like mazda. Dole is ready to accept the fight with gilbert burns which would be fantastic but he can also seems to be willing to accept the fight against leon edwards which this fight has everything to it but this is what the reno said to say daybreak. You know it's all respect for me. Let's dance in november december. I ready my guy is super necessary. Let's do the super necessaries would gain. It says in regards to everything now with game. Red sets wants game red super necessary when he punched. Leon was in the face backstage when he said i do. Peas the soda. I love the dorino. Fight the leon edwards fight for me..
