"Event of the prelims. No, Brad riddle versus moy Kano. Look, city kickboxing is heavy on this card. I'll sign your rad riddell. I think I forgot who's opening the car, but he's also part of the city kickboxing. They have a huge presence on this car. Dan hooker. Yeah, hooker. There's somebody else on this opening. The very first fight in the prelims. I believe his name is. Yes, Carlos oberg. He's also from city kickboxing. So they have a huge presence on this card. But rob riddell and moy Kano should be a great fight. Like this is a pretty loaded prelim. This is a car where I would say if you're listening to this show and if you're going to like, I don't know if I'm going to stop listening to our podcast. Because what are you watching if you're not watching this car? Yeah, you don't like MMA. No, you just don't like MMA. This has a little something for everybody. And that's just the fucking prelims. Yeah, I mean, always good to have good free fights. Yeah. Leading into the main card, Dan hooker, Claudio plays, Dan hooker can't catch a break. No, and he's not going to catch a break in this fight either. No, back to lightweight for him. Failed experiment featherweight just didn't work out. Claudia is, again, another young up and one day turned Dan hooker into the gatekeeper. Now, because Chloe plays, he's won 5 in a row. I believe he's two was the last three or submissions subclass. Yeah, and you're fighting Dan hooker, who he's got to stand up to win the fight. When he fought Islam, Islam mowed him down. So this is a complete contrast of styles. And I feel like as much as I like Dan hooker, he's not the same even from the Poirier fight. He hasn't been the same fighter, the Chandler fighter. He's just not the same guy. A lot on short notice and it ain't conducive to your future. And I think he's going to get subbed in this fight. I think we're starting off the fight. This card with a submission somewhere. I'm not sure if it's going to be early. We'll see how much resistance Dan hooker puts up, but I think it's up. Yeah, I think Dan hooker's still good on his feet. Yes. I think he has an advantage in this fight. I just think eventually it hits the ground and he's getting some. Yes. Eventually, damn it. I made a mistake. The mistake is going to come. That's one thing when the wheels fall off, it's not necessarily that you're just horrible all the time. Is that just making a mistake in every fight? Yeah. And well is going to sell them. I don't know when it's going to happen. He's going to settle. That's a good bet. Yeah? Yeah. Claudio by sub. It's a good good. Nice little way to get a little change on that. Frankie Edgar, Chris Gutierrez next. Look, Gutierrez is one, three or four in a row without looking. It's not an easy matchup. I know a lot of people win this fight was announced. They were like, oh, why is it Frankie Edgar fighting like a big name for what? He's lost a few in a row. He should fight the level of competition. I mean, what are you going to do with it? Just go and get him smoked. We don't want to see that. But take him in the face. That's what I'm saying. No, but they could have put them against. For what? I know another old guy who's on his way up. Like who? Exactly. So Gutierrez, I think frege was going to pull this out by decision. I think this would be the only I'm saying this now. This will be the only decision that I'm predicting on the main card. Okay. I mean, it's clay guida still around. Yes. Could have given him clay. Who is this? Because of Gutierrez wins, it's a bump for him. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you're feeding go out on your shield. But I think Frankie is still he's still Frankie to a degree. He's a little bit more susceptible to getting hit. His chin's not as strong as it was looking. Good against Cheeto. He did. And then he got heated. And Frank God, that knockout is. Vicious. Frankie and Tony Ferguson have had the same fall. At least yeah, at least Frankie was Shan. Yeah. But I think Frankie's a little bit slower and I think his style the way he fights. I think he'll be able to find a way to win a split decision. Yeah, I'm taking Frankie to. There you go. Just 'cause the guy didn't do it for me. It doesn't mean I want to see him go out with a loss. So give me Frankie to win. I just want to see the crowd go crazy. I want to see the good moment. I don't want to see the cowboy Cerrone like you got wrecked. You put the gloves down, everyone's crying. Nah, let's go out. Have some fun. Play biggie 18 times on loop. Until the man leaves the octagon. So it's good. If he wins, is that still got to go? No, he's retired. He says he's done. I don't want to win. If he goes out there and gets a first round

"But I don't, I don't agree with cutting 30 pounds and cutting these massive weight cuts because I'm a real fighter. I don't need to cut ways to prove I'm the best in the world. I know I'm the best in the world. I don't need an extra advantage. And that's what these guys are looking for, Adam. They're looking for an extra edge. They're looking for an extra advantage. Oh, I'm the bigger guy in the fight. It's going to make me, it's going to make me better. It's going to help me more. No, I don't give a shit about any of that. Let's just get in the octagon. We're way what we weigh and let's see who's the best. And that's how real fighters think. I mean, you must have been impressed though with Poirier's win over Dan hooker. He looked great, right? I mean, come on. Adam, I know you know wrestling. He made Dan hooker look like Dan Gable. Good with burns. I mean, he's a great hooker's aren't usually lasting longer than two or three minutes, and you know this better than anybody because you're in Vegas a lot. So you know the doctors don't last. Liquors aren't meant to go 25 minutes. So the fact that hooker made it that long and he won the first two rounds. I mean, the hooker should have won the fight, you know? I mean, doofus Dustin, he's not the umbrella. He's a job, or he's a journeyman. He's he's a fucking mediocre fighter, nothing more. So when you guys far together, you usually won, that's what you're trying to say. Dude, I wouldn't even say one is like, is the way to explain it, bro I took his soul, knocked him out, tapped him out, fucking back in high school and fucking. He dropped out. I mean, he wants nothing to do with that. Or what about when you spar mosque at all? That must have been close. Those were pose, right? That's hilarious, man. You're talking about a guy who's got 14 losses on his resume. 14 losses at him. He's a 50 50 journeyman level fighter. There's a reason they call him street Judas hospital. Not only did he turn his back on his best friend, me. He turned his back on the entire fighting organization, all the guys he said he was going to stand up for and he was going to be a martyr for the union and all the fighters and fighter pay in this and that. And then at the first chance he gets, he jumps on this opportunity on a week's notice and completely turns his back on everybody. That's why he's the Judas. They gave him what he wanted. They gave him more money. I mean, isn't that what he wanted? Yeah, that's what he wanted. He didn't get exactly what he wanted, but he got a decent chunk. He'll probably make a million, you know, good for him. That million is going to go down the drain in a couple months and he's going to be screaming for daddy. He's going to want daddy to retire him. You know, and I'm still mad. I didn't get no Father's Day wish from him. I am his father. He's my George moss when I was my son. But what he said when you guys, so when you guys sparred, you won 80% of the time, 70%, 50%. I mean, a hunt. 100. Are you fucking higher drunk right now Adam? No, I mean, he's a great fighter. A guy who got smoked by Damien Maya smoke by Steven Thompson. Smoke by Lorenz Larkin. Smoke by Aladdin. Paul Rodriguez. Something dance, Rodrigo damn. Gilbert Melendez. Knocked out that doctrine in 5 seconds. Oh, dad bought Ben Askren, the guy who never even want to fight in the UFC, the guy's a fucking complete job, you know?.
THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas
"dan hooker" Discussed on THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas
"Having I think he beats a lot of guys that night, other than choco, that night. You know, yeah, he I think it was his best performance ever. I know what I'm saying, even though he lost, I get it. That's it. That's my, as my story, and I'm sticking to it. And full agreement. Let's jump over to the all action UFC where there's very few mismatches, but one of the first write out the gate was an absolute beat by Islamic Chevron Dan hooker, the sturdy and dependable Dan hooker who's been in with a bunch of guys and his tough as they come and oh my God, teddy, it looked like a knife through hot butter. He ran him right over a submitted him. I mean, it was ruthless. He looks unstoppable at one 55 dying to hear your thoughts on this one. Yeah, listen, I can't all do anything he just said, can and but I will say, hooker's a guy who, you know, is, I don't know if he's sharp one or but he is that great rock. But the great rock that keeps getting banged at, and when it's banged that, that often, it starts to chip. It starts to chip a little bit, you know? He's been getting banged at, and he's that great rock and he represents everything you said. A test. To this kid, a guy who's reliable, guy who's a monster when it comes to heart and you know, the other world what he has to deal with, then find it away, but he has been a rock that's been getting banged at Baghdad. And starts to chip a little bit. But the first thing I think about Islam, I think about Khabib because he's from that stable is from that part of the world. He's from that. Is from that mindset is from that teaching. He's from that style. And I think you have to mention it because it shows number one, but it shows a more than physical traits and physical ways where you see the way he does his thing, where he does his business. You know, in the way that he does it. It's the way he carries himself. It's almost like there's almost like this there's an air that was would Habib. Habib was more than just a great graslin a great. You have sea fight in a great champion. He had gotten to that almost mythical mystical place where, as hard as these guys are to intimidate. Khabib got to a place where he influenced them in a negative, I'm not going to say intimidate because these guys, what they are, but he got to a place where he influenced the negative flea. It meant to areas Khabib got that was part of his power. I know it was his wrestling and his strength and all those all those all those things and the technique in a confidence to believe that he had his upbringing with his father, the training methods, you know, his destiny, what was driven into him to be as destiny kind of like a Tiger Woods by his father. There's going to be the greatest golfer, you know or Loma shackle pies father did you gotta be the greatest fighter from an early point. His father drove that into him, and when he got in the ring, it was more than just his physical technical talent. It got to the place can where Khabib had a different advantage. He had kind of what the Rand had and Sonny liston had in Mike Tyson had, when they were at their best, just something that came with them. A reputation and influence of over these fighters that they were dealing with something special. Something scary. Now listen, when you fight in a great puncher or real fast guys, I get it. That's something to be wary of, and you are wary of it, and you're prepared for it. And these guys face those guys, right? They face those skills, but I'm talking about different here. I'm talking about something different. I'm talking about. The boogeyman. That's what I'm talking about. That it's one thing that if you know you fight in Frankenstein, you know, when you're a kid, you're thinking, well, he's slow and it comes at you and he's scary, you know, Dracula, just make sure you don't make sure that Frankenstein don't get his hands on you make sure Dracula doesn't bite you in the neck. You know, those guys all, I get it. But the boogeyman, the boogeyman, comes from the dark, nobody really knows who he is. They just always to buggy man. He's the boogeyman. And this kabri has that boogeyman about him. And so does Islam, where, again, it's almost mystical and mythical, already. Already. Now he's got an advantage because he's following Khabib, but took Khabib his whole career to get that. And this guy's going to get it sooner because he's attached to that. But that's what I felt. When I was watching this, I felt not that hooker was evaporated mentally or diminished mentally or damaged mentally, but there was but put it this way. I think he felt different. I think they all feel different going in every Khabib in the past and this guy now. They feel different. Because of the boogeyman effect. Yep. That there's something about these guys the way they carry themselves. They weigh the look, the part of the world they come from the way they are taught. Where they have a reputation of being the best in that area. But, but more than just that, just a silent killer look just something else that's going with them in the air. Yeah. And I felt that. I felt that wanted to say specialness. Okay, I felt that specialness. And then when you have a great talent, we all know what his great talent is. Same as Khabib getting on the floor. I'd get those guys there. He feels he can't get beat there. Well, just like if you have say a great pods like wada, while at a gray hill, unfortunately he didn't learn the things he needed to learn to go to, you know, to completely bolster that and be put around that to supplement it, but if you have that power and there was a period of time up until, you know, the second 5 were fury where water had to the power was one thing, but you had to have the delivery system. And you know what? It's the same thing in anything. And I saw that I saw the same thing there. He had to have the delivery system to get to the floor to where his strengths ought to wear his powers to wear his advantages. And he's developed that to his credit. I always say these guys are great, have to be smart. They have to be intellectual, and to his credit Islam developed a delivery system where he told that right hook, I think from the South Pole position of my memory, certainly right, it felt that right hook as a throwaway punch to the head and then real quickly coming low for the shoot, to get where he really wants to get, but that's his delivery system to get there to ensure that he'll get there to ensure what I've always talked about. It's about geography that he'll get to geography that gives him an advantage. The geography that he needs to have the best chance to win. So he's got that delivery side. That's the first thing me looking at the things analytically the way I do as a trainer. First thing that got my attention. And I tweeted it. I was surprised that my guys over there, UFC headquarters didn't put it up..

There's something special about him. Like, the way he would put together is striking us up like that. I just knew, you know what I mean? It was just a feeling. How long ago was this? Shit. Four years in the UFC. So he walk into a gym and witch tacos? Nah, I was doing most of my camps over at team elevation. So you were in Colorado, Corey sand Higgins walks in. He's one 35, one 45. And you're just looking at him watching him going holy shit. Yeah, 'cause I was fighting at 55 for some of these fights and you know, we were pretty close. You were fighting at 45, I think at that time, I don't know, what is he, is he fighting 35 now? Yeah, 35. But yeah, so we're pretty close and wait. Sort of. I was huge 55. But yeah, I don't know, man. I just knew as soon as we started sparring and stuff like that, the way he picked things up, he was so humble.

"But my warning. There's some red flags that i'm seeing you know and it's just how's he gonna react coming off of back to back losses and they're just not normal losses. You know i mean that michael chandler fight was an ass whooping and half. There are still some guys. Don't bounce back from fights like that so we'll see we'll see how it goes you know. His opponent is foreign one in his last five fights. And that's what i had earlier from one of the other notes got confused Bad news is this guy just lost his mom. I'm not sure if it was earlier this week or the week before. Oh friday that could play a big factor. You know what i mean. It could super motivate. He made he can come out like a bat outta hell or you know. It can affect them in a negative way and he might not be able to perform. Who knows you said that. He's gonna fight for his mom for sure and not to worry. You know I was looking at their opponents. And they do have one comment opponent. And that's mark dyke. I believe i don't know if you remember this guy. He's a red mohawk. I believe he's from all. I remember him. Yeah he was coming. He was a young heart prospect. When when he. I was coming out But we haven't heard much from him since But they both fought him nazran. Beat him with a unanimous decision back in twenty eighteen. And dan hooker sub team with a guillotine in the second round but that was third round. I'm sorry but that was back in two thousand seventeen. So that's the only common opponent i see As far as the stand up goes. I mean they both like to stand in and trade. You know and dan hooker is willing to show as shown in the past that he's willing to let you run out of gas and hit him with all you guy he'll still be there but who knows if he's got a lot of cobwebs up there and he's going to be able to withstand that not to say that nazca crazy standup either..

"Yeah but they're coming. They're coming down on the bench. Chose is one of those those. I don't know. I don't know who are big inspiration was but i felt like she was kind of that. Those those new ronda rousey move missile all the fight when she was like nine or twelve or something i know she went to the gym and she is just one of those women. I think hanson's one of those two things. He's better than kate hansen. But just one of those there were just. This is what they wanted to do ever since they were like a young teenager twenty two. She looked amazing tonight. Yeah just blown away. I knew how good rookie and was. And that was the show showcased vice. Oh that was awesome but exciting for an blanchfield. And yeah can't wait. She's she's actually. She's what what was trying to say. Who macy barbara was. I think his arab lands. Macy bar was kind of just wanna build up like this. You know she's going to be the john jones. John jones of flyweight division. But i think she's more on that route than than ufc typing. No isn't giving her that. Same kind of hype. And i think she deserves it rather than maybe we'll say there's a few twenty five right now. That are making bannon fiero. She's a little bit older. But casey o.'neil twenty-three about stern twenty four and i get aaron blanchfield so the future's bright one twenty five cal pennington for mine not just because oh that whole fight flew under the radar but then just hearing the stories of her getting covert and being on a freaking respirator. Things i had no idea that she was battling and then to come back in you know. Have that grimy performance against Pans out who has been on a nice run that that was was an impressive performance and then hearing sort of the back story of how she got to that fight and i was flying under the radar anyways but sieber cal go in there and perform the way that she did super impressed with her so she would be my six player award winner. So there you go we got some Some compelling questions. We'll take a few meaning we try to so. I will just point out. One comment. That i saw from mr ed k. Who said aka you make pigs stab bat again. And you're being relegated one letter. Don't wanna let her out. Acknowledge this person i. I'm kidding i love. i love all the commentators. I love all the commenters you can. You can today or at a k. But that's what's at stake now. How how likely is rutan's next. Fight against the winner of dan hooker versus nasrat hack passed or will he face another unranked opponent. Now ak you. And i are going to have this discussion onto the next one tomorrow and i have for this and i'm going to save that for then but sean what do you think. Do you think sarokin will get the winner by by the way. We don't even know if dan hookers gonna make it's that bite at this point at that gives visa issues a very public right now. Hopefully monday fingers crossed can get vegas by thursday s. We have rough fight week for that man. But would you throw sarokin the winner of hooker and hack or would you. Would you go a different direction after that performance tonight. If it's up to me. I liked that i liked that fight. I think actually arm and that was one thing. I even forgot to mention when i was talking about arms. He sort of did the legwork early right like he sort of planted those seeds coming into this fight so he already had it set up to where dan's like legitimately kind of upset at him and like actually wants to fight him which that's the biggest hurdle of all when you get to these really deep divisions is convincing ranked guy to give you the shot when you're when you're not there when you're sort of on that periphery of the division. So i would love that. I think dan hooker has has had a really crazy slate of top contender. Fights really tough tough fights against the best guys in the division and he is due for the very similar. Like anthony smith esq. Hey come back to the back of the line. Work your way back up by a couple of these up and comers and then we'll give you another top five guy like to me if he beats nazaret even if he loses like i would absolutely love to to see that fight feels like a proper escalation for armand to me while not really messing with dan's trajectories. Well actually like the casey I i hope it's a hooker fight. I hope This is all the assumption hooker gets in gets in the country fine and makes wait fine or whatever that's another thing but Yeah Hopes in bites. I had of him. that's all. yeah. I think we're i think we're done with the building him up. I think this this is a big highlight. they needed. You know they gotta yeah. It's the last little push before. He's he's gone. He's running at this point to finish got it and iago's was had three five winning streak heading into the fight to so this again. This next cashman. This next question might seem kind of crazy. But i don't know is jake paul versus yoel. Romero apostle match should now be considering both showtime. Just ak your. Yeah you hells. Yeah you put you put that on the poster and it sells itself. Oh my god you put it on his that forty four year old honest glistening. That's the that's it sold. Imagine facing off going. Oh god promos. Go give me like a table. Read where. It's ariel in the middle in jake paul and eulogised grunting and saying one word answers the entire time earn him dead and the is like i'm so in on that that'll get five million views tomorrow down respect to jake. Paul jake take that fight that you might see my only issue with the question is it shouldn't be considering the matchup that we should now be hoping for because then resounding yes this is this is what is should be next or no. I mean look. There's a lot of good matchups for for jake paul. His team has him and his team have done a really good job of picking their opponents of far. I do think romero might be a little bit of a bridge too far. But i also don't i honestly i don't i wouldn't romera would kill him. This is where we are with no experience. Now jason fight right. He could versus that cuban boxing who knows i just i i just thought question was like oh let me think about this house. It up there in the universe. Let's let's be responsible for this. This possible opponent. That could put the fear of god into j just in the pre man like all of us have been. I would imagine that media days with yoel romero. Then dude is the most intimidating human being to speak to ever. It's just crazy. We talked to professional cage fighters for a living. And i think. I've never been as scared as i just talked to you over barrel such an intimidating dude. I'm like i'm thank god. This is a scrum. 'cause i i don't know if i can handle one on one i'll talk to one hundred without feeling me. Want to see the enersen fight. I wanna see the anderson. Jake paul fight. That's the pure semi. But sean you sold me area on the middle those to the table top right right and you all just staring a hole through the crazy is the whole time lucky be he knocks out your well and then maybe you know worrying but i'll has to join in you know. Oh well my fellow cuban. Yeah my fellow human omega on the. He can't do the fight but he can be the ballet. You know he can be right there. You know i mean we can just go full circus and do mas- vidal romero tag team. They switched every round. First round around. Romero we're getting them both leader logan. Yeah and the books yes. We should absolutely be considering that fight. Be more comments hybrid impact. Eighty davis is boring. You don't know him. A mixed for a reason. As case like i say it is the mixing of the martial arts philby mixes those martial arts and does it very effectively so yes. Hybrid impact eighty three. I'm what i don't like to go as far as say if you don't appreciate a or you don't know emma may i always feel. It's a little strong. But i would say you're you're maybe have may have somewhat myopic view of at least as far as what you find entertaining and again we all love ramsbotham stuff..

"Msg obviously that matchup is great with michael chan there but is there something for you about that arena that that you know makes it more enthralling than maybe somewhere else all. I really do a embrace it more. This isn't i thought i find. The theater massacre regarded on new year's eve At the end of two thousand seventeen to eighteen so that was that was an experience. I got that whole experience in the in the big arena with all the fans. But i've experienced that with other. Ufc fights so. I get when you know in hindsight when i'm older. I think it'll be something that i can share with my nieces nephews or kids or grandkids. Whatever you know as far as like it in that department we do you know we sell them to talk about so yeah.

I always know that there's a million people watching millions of people watching on tv but it's just not the same no. It's it's very true and we hear that from a lot of our athletes who've competed you kind of this fan. This atmosphere But in in terms of the fight itself. I mean what do you like the most about facing michael chandler call because before he fought you know. Dan hookers coming from bell. There wasn't a lot that he brought to the table. But now you know with your knocking. Dan hooker i'll have a a great fight against oliveira you know he's kind of proven that you know he belongs here and ultimately for me. I need one win to fight for the title to file a bear And that's that's my goal and this is a huge fight is the data. He's super explosive..

I i it was i would say it was a lot easier the first time i think my daughter was maybe one and a half so she she knew i was gone but she was very easy to console. Oh daddy said that. It'd be home soon and didn't really understand the situation but time that lasts. The last night was difficult as she's getting older she starts understanding one size. Asking Win is he gonna behind and that would come in. That will be able to come and visit me. But you know it's it's so far away and you your daughter just can't understand why it is these fences in the way that he's got to wear a mask way she can't. She's trying to crawl under the fence and coming come and see me just like oh men that allows on just. It's a it's a killer that's that that was like the most difficult part Just having him be that closely but still though so far away and what. What kind of reaction does she have like when you come home and you and you are banged up or bruised up about the face like does she have any kind of this. You get a little scared of minute.

You want done here. Oh definitely more stiffly more just as they come really not not not not too much of a rush to get them to get an element of in for the long haul. Yeah i understand. I got four myself. It all starts with one. No so if you could please just take a minute here. My listeners with a little bit about your background. What you do. So a fighter in the ufc athlete in the usa of in the afc since Two thousand fourteen coming up Seven seven eight years. Quiting proficiently in the usc And i'm currently ranked in the in the top ten in the lightweight division. Yeah awesome stuff now so you said three years old your daughter. About how old were you. Then when you became a dad and had to becoming a father kinda change your perspective on life. Oh definitely definitely changed my perspective. I would have been Yeah was was was quite mature. When i had my daughter unite the head things. I'm pretty pretty. Well set up. You know me and my wife left. We will married. We're back in new zealand. We just bought my first property Think i think. I ticked all the boxes off if you could say that but yeah it would have been twenty eight. Am i'll watch. What is an twenty-five yet really cool stuff and what are the. What would you consider to be some of the top values that you're hoping to instill in your daughter growing up top values to to just chase whatever she's passionate about. It's very hard for me. From the path chosen in the korea that i've taken to really push into something she doesn't like it will be very difficult for me to be like. You're gonna go to university and being accountable. You got to be a doctor. You got to be a lawyer come on. You need a good job you need. You need a steady income. It'll be very difficult for me because of from a very early age. Knew that what i wanted to do was to be a professional vita to be a professional athlete and i pursued it relentlessly until i was successful. You know that's been many is being Very poor living paycheck to paycheck. I was In a dominant nightclubs those events at nightclubs and things. I this to stay afloat and keep chasing my dream of being a fighter so yeah just to chase what she's passionate about the flying to finally love and and to to focus on that and do that because i truly feel like i haven't worked they in the last ten years which is something that a lot of other people don't have the luxury. Oh yeah very well said and so what was your support system like an for you getting involved with the genesis of your career or you're fighting career. What kind of support system did you have from your family. Were they supportive of you early on or not. So things took off your parents saw. You know. I'll grow up with my my mother and father. They they appearance. They obviously don't want to see you getting beaten up in cages. that's not. That's not the high on their priority list. But i guess they very early on they saw. How much if. I was putting into how much dedication i had to. It's not like i was all. Hey mom and dad. I'm going to be a professional flight. And then all his out eighty mcdonald's every everyday and Potting with my friends on the weekend like it wasn't like that. I i could see how dedicated i was. You know train every single day. I go from my eight hour eight hour job and i'd go to the gym. I go to another gym. And then i'd get home at at nine thirty ten o'clock at night i'd stay home on the weekends at eat. Very clean eat healthy so once they saw how much dedication i was applying to to my to my crafts they saw. How seriously always taking it. That made it a lot easier for them to support it. I'd say my mother the bug earlier than my father. My father wants the financial side of things and taking on. You know. I come home with my first big check. And he's like yeah when you cut it down. You're still working minimum wage. And i was like oh looks like i'm going to have to keep king keep pushing and keeping trying to be more successful. Yeah now how about as far as becoming a father. Kinda put any did a chain. Not change you as a fighter i guess. But has it made you rethink about how long you consider staying in the game now since you became a dad like your motivations differently changes everything. Everything's for everything so my daughter. Everything's for for her and her future. Everything maybe bullets all i. I will fight as long as i can see that. It's going to positively impact her life as long as as long as fighting will will make her life better. I will continue to pursue it. And i will continue to chase it. You know i want to. Obviously you don't want to you don't want to Affect your health to the point. We're not gonna be able to see your children grow up so that's As long as it's it's positively affecting her long term life and future a will continue to chase it. I would imagine it's got to be difficult down. I would imagine a lot not easier. But i- makes more sense when you're the young single guy and you kind of free and loose and you. You could take those risks and stuff like that. But it's got to be a different difficult shift. I would imagine for all fighters You know even watching the rocky balboa worsening mickey says mercy it can happen as you get civilized. You know i. it's gotta be different. There's gotta be a different chase you i know. I had dana white on the podcast. You're i asked him about that with fighters and having kids and having families. So i would imagine that's got gotta be difficult for you guys to do and what about for you. What about for the parents. That are out there whose kids are interested in like you were in mma or a ufc type of career. What kind of advice. Or what age would you recommend. Parents have their kids actually start taking it seriously. Oh you know. The sport has definitely changed from when i started. I started as I worked in. Jim as eighteen year olds. Always very lucky to find it at that age. I feel like that's a. That's a good age to begin. Because i feel like it was my decision and i was an adult. I do see it. A lot of parents pushing their kids into it too much but fighting. I feel like as a bit of a different sport. Like if your of your let your child nag you take them. You know like. I feel like that's a. That's the difference with fighting because when it comes down to it when it comes down to touch gloves with someone and and getting after it with and competing You can't be anyone else's decision that has to be one hundred one hundred percent on your decision. So i feel like if your kid is nagging us. Take me to the gym and they go to identity. Then i feel like it's it's the pacific time but fighting has not a sport that you can you can push a child towards it's a it's a. It's a very difficult road. Saw wouldn't Yeah my daughter's gonna play tennis this that way. She ain't gonna be jhangvi. Doing boxing kickboxing on fighting them. We're gonna push push tool. It's tennis thing. I could watch it. I think shaved dumped in a cage of another little girl. I'll have to scale the cajun and and jumping up particular out. I think i could. I don't think i could stay to watch that as a father. Well hopefully you got a while before that even happen or be You know thought but bring it back into your daughter here. What what is your bedtime routine looked like three years old..

"Which is nobody will fight me. Nobody will give me this chance. And then he called out a whole laundry list full of guys. Now we tell you why. I'm telling you that i'm going to find this interesting to see how he plays. This is love now got answered. He got called out. He got called out by being hooker. Dan harker was the number five ranked guy in the world. Dan hooker lost to michael chandler. Who became the number one contender. But i don't believe previously had a reagan. So i don't know what hooker is currently ranked. Today i know he was ranked number five and lost to a number one contender in. It could've moved him. I don't know that it makes it damage. The difference hookers at fighter who everybody knows and hooker is now called out islam. Islam is going to have to fight hooker or or he's going to have to have a damn good reason. Why not of. Which is what. I'm speaking to that i'm going to enjoy. He's not going to be able to do that. I don't want to fight you. You don't matter you're not high enough to the guy that used to be right number five in his headlined a whole bunch of shows. That argument is not gonna work. He's not going to be able to come out with any kind of excuse and then still credibiity when he's over there saying right. What's good for the. It's gotta go both ways and you gotta have these points in your career where you're trying to climb. You're trying to get attention but if you make your argument that i will fight anybody anytime a nobody will fight me and then you get called out. If it's not the fight you want. Let's say and. I don't think that islam would have a problem with hooker. And the only reason i'm guessing. It's not a fight that islam because islam called out four. Different guys in hooker was at one of them. I could have this all wrong and islam simply goes okay. Great than fighting hooker. Let's do it. Sign the paperwork see in september. Maybe i'll be interested in that. My only statement is that. I will be interested how this plays out. That's one option. Might happen nothing to see here. But he might not he might have something going with. Rda who he appears to really wanna fight he might have something going with. Michael chandler who. I personally don't believe would turn down that fight but it hasn't been said yes to yet. He got called out straight up first time ever first time anybody's ever called him out. I haven't seen him respond yet. he's going to..

"And Mm A. For Yahoo! Sports. He is a very good friend of this show. He is Kevin. I only Kevin. It's good to have you back. How are you? I'm doing great, Jim. How you doing? Good. Great stock. You, Kevin. Thanks So much know there was so much talk about to UFC 2 57. Before Saturday, though. You have been saying that the co main event off hooker Chandler was going to be incredible. We start right there. What were you looking to see from Chandler in that fight? I saw more than I thought I was going to see to be honest with him. You know, Chandler is a guy that he brings it. He's a guy that probably could win fights a lot easier than he normally does, because he's got that all American wrestling background of physically strong guy, But he kind of says You know what? I'm gonna put the rustling in the background and he just gets goes, I guns, a blazing and getting guys faces and a lot of times that really hurt him because he ends up getting hit, and I looked at Dan Hooker in that fight, and I thought Boy, Dan Hooker The perfect opponent for him. If you're trying to beat Michael Channel, it's his hooker. Those kind of guys he's perfect against. And I looked at hooker is having the better striking of the two, but you know, he didn't hook. We cannot react very well. I didn't think you know Chandler pressured him right from the get go, and it was almost like Hooker was surprised by that. And I I talked to Dan during the week. And he had said, You know, he expected my suffice that way. But when the fight actually began, and the pressure was coming, Dan looked like he wasn't ready for it. So I was really surprised that huge win for Michael Chandler was talking to Kevin. I only you know, Kevin. I couldn't wait to see Chandler and make or couldn't wait to see him. Make his. You have see debut. I'd really high expectations and he just smashed him. I mean, I thought he was absolutely electric. I knew he would be, but I thought he was even better than I expected. You made the point that when he signed with the UFC, it was different when other guys came over from Bela Tor. What do you mean by that? And how significant was it? Well, you know, a lot of times that, you know, they signed Lyman. Good They signed Will Brooks, you know when they find Will Brooks will. Brooke had beaten Chandler and was the Bella Tory lightweight champion. But there was nobody that felt like Will Brooks was going to go into the USC top five and start beating those guys. Chandler was a guy people thought Right off the bat immediately that he was going to be A contender in the UFC. And so that was the difference. I mean, this was a guy that they got who was in the prime of his career who had the ability to compete with economy, Gregor's and the Dust employees and the Charles Oliveras and Tony Ferguson is and that's what they got. And he showed. You know, Dan Hooker is in that category, too. And Chandler went out there and wipe the mouth, So I think, you know they went out there and they got a free agent. That is the high end guy that's rarely out there for them, and they showed it was a good investment. We're talking to Kevin. I always so Kevin. What did you make of Chandler in the post fight, And then what is next for him? Well, you know it is generating. It depends on if you take him what Dana White wants or what Dustin Fortier wants. You know, Dana White said at the Post fight news conference, And I think it makes sense. Chandler would be next for poor yet that that would be the fights. 48 said. I don't want to fight Chandler and his rationale for that was I thought all these times in the U. S. C against the toughest guys in the world. And he thought Max Holloway twice Eddie Alvarez twice just in case economy, Gregor twice, you know, on and on and on of tough guys that he thought And he said, I don't see why my channel should come into the U. S. She fight one fight and get a championship shot, So I don't wanna fight on. So basically, he said he would fight McGregor again in a rematch or fight. Charles all of their So that leaves that's an interesting thing. Now just Dana fight with fight with him and try to push him to fight Chandler. I don't think Dana will do that. So I think Chandler, you know is now going to be in a different spot. So I think where Chandler goes, is kind of kind of depend on a when McGregor wants to come back and be if they could get Nadya's fight, McGregor so Under what I think the USC would think would be the best case scenario A. They would go with a rematch between Dustin in and Connor. But if that doesn't fail, then they could go. Connor versus Nate. Dustin versus Charles and then have Justin Gate. She's sitting there to fight my Chandler, which would be another crazy sick fight. Well, that'd be unbelievable. Ton of options. Lots of options there across the board, Kevin, I always joining us. You know, obviously I want start firing questions to you about Connor McGregor. But you gotta give destined pIease do and I wanna start right there. We knew Kevin that he was going to be a different fighter. Now, then he was back six years ago when he fought Connor McGregor. That was a given. He's had so many wins. He's so much more mature. But what did you make of seeing what transpired in that first round and the patients that he Showed and then in the way that he finished Khanum aggregor in the second round. You know, I was so impressed with Dustin, but that was the way I thought Justin would fight this fight and the thing was, you know, he made the comment of the post fight Jim, he said the corner hit me with a left hand in the first round. It was kind of like a flash Ko, he said. I was out, but I was backed up bag, Mr Cates and he was in front of me and he said Connor didn't realize how much he had hurt me said If he had followed up on it, he would have probably finished them. Um, but that was the thing about Justin. You know the experience of being able to okay, you're hurt, and you're still over the thing and you're stable and and he did not show that he was hurt. He was able to survive that storm. That's part of the growth of a fighter. That was there and I knew and I said, you know, he was gonna have to try to slow that first round down. You know, he just couldn't go out there and you know Santo to telling You know, do what Chandler did with Connor, because that's just that's suicide there. And you saw he took Connor down. He was kicking Connor and that strategy was brilliant. You know, Doing what Vulcan off? He did. Max Holloway taking the legs out from under Connor and you know Hey, if you can't push off the throat, throw your strikes. That limits a big weapon economy. Gregor has and those kicks are brutal..

"Chandler finished Dan Hooker back, flipped off the cage and then dropped this post fight interview. I got to get something off my chest. I tell you all this This is the greatest moment. In my professional life. Kind of a bragger. Surprise. Surprise. There's a new king of the lightweight division. Dustin Boy, Your time is coming. It could be If you ever do see fit to crisis with your presence back here in the U. S. C. Octagon in your question, 30, you know you've got to be somebody So beat me if you can. Bless. See you at the time. And that's how you announce yourself, right. That's how you handle Hey UFC debut. And you talk about not just living up to the hype but smashing it. This guy was incredible, but during the fight and after it That, speaking of the hype, there was a lot of hype surrounding Connor going into the fight Saturday night. Not only was he an overwhelming favorite, the talk was about what he would do with the rest of the year. How many fights would he have this year after after he handled his business against Por Yai? It was as if Dustin, who is one of the baddest guys on the planet, which is some speed bump on the road. What Connor would do for the rest of the year, There was talk about what Connor had hoped to do in 2020 after the cowboy fight. And then people seem to think that he would just show up in 2021 do it again. And swap out cowboy for Por Yai, and then run it back. And I'm not gonna say that. I didn't have some of that in the back of my mind, too. In fact, I'm not gonna say that. I don't have some not in front of my mind instead of myself, Didn't I? On Friday, I hit this guy hard. I really thought that he would put on a show. Now, Having said that I had profound respect for destined Por Yai. I knew how dangerous he was. And I said as much, but I thought that Connor was of right mind. I thought he was in great shape. I thought he put on a show. Except many, many, many thought. That was a foregone conclusion that not only would he win That was not the question. But how would he win? How quickly What happened? Would it be inside of a minute would be a knockout. Would it be something else, and the answer is none of the above. That wasn't happening with poi A. That was never going to happen with him. You weren't beating him in a matter of seconds Saturday night. Might happen the first time, but that was not going to happen again. This guy was way too big of an underdog. Given how good he is how tough he is how proud he is how skilled he is how motivated he is, how much better he is now than he was then. Another would sleep on this guy and you probably go to sleep. Ask corner. The thinking going into the fight was the Dustin's chance to win. His best chance to win was to make it a long fight. Dana White Knight talked about that last week to drag Connor out into the deep waters off the later rounds, tire him out and then finish him. Except that wasn't his strategy. Instead, it was too absolutely shred Connor's lead leg with calf kicks. It's O'Connor was shaky and damaged and then you finish him off with head shots. It didn't even matter. The counter won the first round and he did on every score card. Custom was going to eat a few punches Early on. He survived the shoulder strikes. The Connor recently added to his arsenal he made it made a plan..

But I'm going to say something I'd never thought I would say about a McGregor McGregor card, and that's There's a huge shadow looming over this event, and that shadow belongs to one heartbeat. I mean, he's gonna be watching this with best interest as well. So here's my question to you. What is our best case scenario? Is it basically Connor bus for drawing him out of retirement? I mean, if Dustin wins does he have enough heat? Eo Lord hubby back into the case one more time. Is the GOP by completely up table. What? What in your mind is the best case scenario for us being able to see him Go for 30 A. M. First of all, I think there's a very good chance of you doesn't come back this year like I think we need to stop holding her breath for it. You know, he just He just fought in October, and over the last few years, he's only been fighting. Once a year. So, like I said earlier, he's not coming back. If in fact he does come back until the fall, So we need to stop holding our breath. I think the UFC after this fight tonight should move on. It's okay that this fight isn't for a belt. For you. McGregor, too, But I think If McGregor wins, his next fight should be for the belt for the vacant title. They should move on. And I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back in 2022 or 2023 to try to get to that 30, you know, but I'll tell you what if McGregor wins tonight, especially the way in which I think he's going to win. He's not waiting around until the fall. Probably fighting maybe April. May, June, July, And then maybe after that one. If it goes well, you could get me to come out now to answer your question about partying. I don't really see all that much. Interest from Habib to fight. For you again. He fought him last year. Well, two years ago. Now, in September of 2019, it was you know, I won't say one sided, You know, poor He did get a nice shot in there in the second, but ultimately, hubby did his thing and won the fight. That's not the money fight that the contra fighters. I think it's gonna be hard to get him out of a timer for that you have season interested in the GSP fight. I think it's all but dead, to be honest. So I don't know. I think at this point, he'll come back 2022 2023 something like that. But honestly, I don't think Connor's next fight is against the beef. And honestly, I don't think we see him in 2021. At least not right now. Maybe something changes that tonight. But as of right this second, I don't see him coming back this year, so we need to stop holding our breath about that. Let's go to Steven in Toronto. Stephen, What's up? Yeah. Long time listener from Toronto. Yes, and just you've done a lot to grow the sport. So we appreciate you over here, and I think you're the best interviewer in the business. Thank you said that I wanted to ask you noticed over the last year like a lot of the fighters from dominance, and the maids like bluesman could be Frankie's Bhutto. Haven't seen them on your show so much, and I don't know if you've addressed that, But like I said, You know, it's always good, especially in the enemy. Our days your guys like could be on the show. So just Is there a way to repair that relationship? Can we bury the hatchet? You know all the abilities if you're listening. Let's let's let bygones be bygones. Let's come on. You got the face of ESPN, the highest doing show. Let's Let's get these guys back on a real show. Amen. My friend. There's no hatchets buried on my end. I did nothing wrong. One day I woke up and at least said, I can't talk to his guys anymore. Laughable, ridiculous. Nothing happened. He's trying to endear himself to Dana White. And so he feels like this is a good way to do that. Um, The truth is, I talked to a lot of his guys. Off the record if you text on the phone, but they wanna you know, they want to follow his wishes. They want to not rock the boat and I get that, but there's no hatchet to bury here. I'm here waiting. He thinks he's hurting me. He's not. I would argue that he's hurting his own guys by doing this so he could do his own thing. Whenever they're ready to talk again. I'll be here waiting, but life moves on life rolls on. He thinks he's hurting me. He's not. I'm doing my thing here on ESPN radio, so we'll see what happens. All right. I appreciate the question. I appreciate the call. Let's go Toe Soo in Montclair, New Jersey, Second caller from Montclair first female Caller of the Night, Sue, How are you? I'm well, how are you? I'm doing great. Thank you. So I'm a really big fan. And you know, I want to talk about something different. I know you're part of the Bills mafia. So what's your prediction for.

"dan hooker" Discussed on KOA 850 AM
"I'm familiar with with hooker. I have not. I don't know that much about Michael Chandler. What can you sort of give our listeners in terms of what to expect in that about I'll try to set up a sufficiently if possible. Michael Chandler won a major title with Delatour. He has been biding his time and sort of waiting for the right time to come to the UFC and man did. He hit a home run in terms of free agency, not just with the contract, but the fact that he's sharing the press conference stage with Connor McGregor, the biggest superstar, mixed martial arts history. If he gets ready to make his UFC debut, he has credentialed. This is a guy who walked on, was arrested at the University of Missouri and went on to become an all American with 100 collision. And he is one of the best human beings I have ever met in my life. He has an adopted from half that is the light of his life. He's just a tremendous human beings for the brothers concerned, you know, he was on the wrong end of the size equation here. He's got an awful lot here. Dan Hooker is long. He's a switch stance fighter with a lot of tools and great takedown defense. She was like most people expect Channel to try to take the fight down. But I think Channel has more power on the feet and Dan Hooker so I wouldn't be surprised if I am Michael Chandler find a home for that big right hand, but it's essentially picking fight, according to Las Vegas, which tells you that Sandwiched in the whole lot of respect. I kind of feel like hooker maybe deserves a little bit more love on that getting lines, so to speak, but You know, Chandler's is very much alive Underdog, and I think he could have been closed as the favorite. Ah, fascinating co main event. And most people believe that the winner of that committee that will have an inside track to challenge Connor Dustin for the vacant try to listen like a beach steps away for good. And Jake. It's interesting. Hey, John, always a pleasure to catch up with you. We appreciate you carving out a few minutes for us. Especially late at night. We'll be watching tomorrow.

Um he's just he's an ex one. Announcer. He can paint a picture.

It'll be home made. That's what I'm saying. But sounds like he's not coming over. Dave, if I come over, I'm not sure that questions that was in question. Yes. Well, okay, but I I think it's gonna be an interesting night for sure. Better to employ a isn't getting a whole lot of respect. He's a 3 to 1 though I I thought I saw nine toe wants what you said when we started the show and say Whoa, Okay, I'm all over that 3 to 1. Maybe not. But I, you know I like underdogs. And I think Connor McGregor comes in almost every fight as the villain. Character in the fight where he's one of those guys like when Mike Tyson fought you watch to see him get beaten in this probably the same case here. Yeah. For sure. 79321 Logan.
