Speaker 1 (01:57):
All right, guys, so we're back at it, and I'm
in Phoenix, Arizona right now. First off, it's so hot.
It's like so hot here. It's amazing, but having fun
doing good stuff down here. But I still got to
check in with my people. So I am a guy
that while I talk so much, I'm always usually brought
(02:21):
up by people. It seems like I've been catching a
lot of strays lately. First off, Steve Ersik said he
would take me on a run because he would outrun
me if there was a zombie apocalypse, which is not true.
I would outrun Steve er sigh. Derek Lewis the other day,
which I will get into, is in Saint Louis for
his fight and Nina was asking him about who he
(02:42):
would like to power slap. Of course it was me.
But the one that honously is the one that resonates
to most of me, was the other day. Right, because
we're all talking about John Jones. We're all talk about
John Jones what he's doing, because people seem to want
to make it seem like he's afraid of Tom aspinall
and that's why he's not fighting it. I would not
(03:06):
go so far as to say he's afraid of that dude.
I think what's happening is he's kind of made his
mind up on something and he's just staying with it.
He's like, I'm not changing it. I'm going to keep
it as it is. I know what I want to do.
And part of the reason it was so hard to
(03:26):
understand was because Steve may wasn't saying anything, right, it
had been so long since you had seen him do
or say anything in regards to the fight, that it
seemed like it's John talking about the fight, but no
one else. Well, Steve May went on the podcast the
other day said that for him, it's more about the
Jones fight than even the championship belt. And I guess
(03:50):
when you're a guy that's had as many belts as
Steve a has, it doesn't matter. But when talking about
Tom Aspinall, Jones made this statement. He said, it was
like in my absence when Daniel Cormier was the champion.
It confuses people. That's not a real indication of what
(04:15):
was going on. Look, guys, right now John is out
due to injury. Right, He's out due to injury. So
Tom Askenau was notw on the champion. I get that,
but but that's not what was going on with him
and I were fighting. So he misrepresented what the situation
(04:35):
was when you are in plus like Tom Aspernall is
not the champion because of his absence so much, Tom
Aspall's the champion because he was available won the belt
when John got hurt. Well, actually, you know what John
was right, Tom is only your champion because of his absence,
(04:55):
and honestly, he beat me, so maybe I wouldn't have
in the CHAMPI but he was disqualifying himself. So it's
but it's two different situations because right now he injured himself.
With me, it was him getting caught doing things he's
not supposed to and then getting stripped and taken out
(05:16):
of the competition. So it's not the same. While it
may seem the same, it's not the same. Right you were,
he was incapable of competing when I was the champion.
He was not allowed to compete when I was the champion,
not due to injury, due to a legal substances found
(05:40):
inside of his body. That's just the truth. That's just
the truth. Because right now, right jones Is said he
is ahead of the schedule. They said it would be
a year and a half before he'd be able to compete.
He's so far ahead that he's looking forward. He's back
and the jib traded. So if he decided today I'm
gonna go on, I'm gonna fight, there'd be nothing to
(06:03):
stop him. That would be his decision. That would be
his decision. Give me his doctors whenever him and I
were fighting and he kept getting in trouble, he could
not go, I'm back in the gym and I'm ready
to fight. He couldn't. It was illegal, it wasn't. That's
(06:24):
where the situation varies. That's where the situation is different,
and that's such a key component to the situations being different.
You couldn't have. So it's time to stop lumping everything together.
But the sleight of hand is what John is very
good at. On one hand, people will say he did X,
(06:47):
Y and Z. On the other hand, he'll go, look
at this, guys, this is what I have and this
is what I say. So this needs to be in
the truth. And I'm saying this because now it's time
for me to say it's not the same thing. But
the reality is in this situation, I've been more on
his side than I am in more situation or in
(07:08):
most situations, because I think he should fight Neo Chic.
What I like to see him fight Asma, Sure, but
he's fought generation after generation of great What is there
really to prove Miochic would be the last great from
(07:28):
the generation that he lived in to essentially foil right
in upperweight class because for a long time people talking
about Jones being a heavyweight. Well now he is. He's
a heavyweight champion and he's gonna fight the guy that
was the heavyweight champion. My biggest concern is that stupid
hasn't competed. But when listening to Meo Chich, he sounds
like he's still been working. He sounds like he's still
(07:50):
intent on getting the job done. I just wonder physically,
is he still able to fight at the level that
he was before My sonus is a little crazy, uh,
And I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
if he could compete at that level anymore. But what
I do though, is if they can put this fight
together in Madison Square Garden, amazing, It would be amazing. Guys.
(08:15):
If you think about some of these fights that potentially
can land on some of these cards, it would be crazy.
I talked about yesterday, Well, UFC three hundred still be
the event of the year by the end of the year.
And you know what, I don't know. I don't know.
I thought I originally thought for sure because it was
so great, but now I don't know, because when you
(08:37):
think about the event that they got we have coming
up Markachev will fight Pourier. Strictland will fight against Paulolo Costa.
That's a good fight. Then you got Connor McGregor fighting
against Michael Chandler. You still got Israel Edisonia versus Drake's
dup plus ce out there. You still got Jones versus
Miochi still out there. Guys, they're only twelve months the
(09:00):
year and we're almost halfway through the year. We're almost
halfway through the year in a year where there's only
twelve months. So if all these fights come off, you
and I as fans aren't for a great end of
twenty twenty four are middle and into twenty twenty four.
(09:22):
But that's my response. Jones wasn't the same thing, Bud.
So no matter how quickly you are and a magician
you are at manipulating and saying this, this and the other,
that's not the case. It was different. You couldn't compete
whenever I was fighting, You couldn't. You couldn't make a
decision that you were going to go and fight. So yeah,
I was the champion for a really long time too,
(09:42):
which is kind of crazy. Derek Lewis love Derek Lewis,
and he said if he had to power slap somebody,
it would be because he said no to my podcast,
(10:03):
And ever since I've been talking reckless. I gotta be
honest with you. I don't know that I've ever really
disrespected Derek Lewis. I think what I've done is spoken
truthfully about him when the truth needs to be spoken.
And I don't think fighters like that. I don't understand
why they take such offense to someone saying the truth
(10:26):
in regard to their career. When it looks like their
career is at a point where it's not going in
the right direction, maybe it's time to step away. So
when I talk about Derek Lewis right now, right and
he won the fight last week, and I'm like, well,
he's still got something there. But if you believe that
(10:52):
Derek Lewis or Derek still believes that he's the same
guy from eight years ago, none of us are the
same from seven to eight years ago. We just don't
fight at that level and guys get better as time goes.
But I don't think I've ever disrespected him. I think
when those guys say that, they say stuff like, well,
maybe it's time for him retire. Fighters hate hating it
(11:12):
they hate hearing that, but sometimes it's the truth. And
you know what's the worst part about it is that
I'm the one out here saying it publicly. But I
swear to God, there are so many people say that
behind the scenes that aren't willing to go forward and go, Hey,
I think this dude's done. I think this guy's fighting
because his paychecks so big. People say that all the time,
(11:33):
and guess what if that's the case, it doesn't matter,
It does not matter if you're making that much money,
do it. Enjoy yourself, but don't get mad because someone
said that you should are looking like you're at the
end of the career. It's the truth. We all have
(11:54):
to walk away from the thing that we love so much.
And Derek said, because he said no to my podcast.
He does it every single time. We talk, every single
time and we make magic. Look, you guys don't remember
this one. This was a Rhonda Ralsey one. She is
she uh, I don't know. I guess he asked me,
did she ask about me? This was when Derek fought
(12:15):
in Houston or something back in the day, and I
interviewed him as a main eventor on a pay per
view because generally, guys, remember we do the check ins
on the pay per views. When I do them all
the time. That will be very rare that I do
an interview when it's not a pay per view. I
did it with Derek Lewis when he was a headliner,
had a pay per view, and he did it. If
(12:37):
I have not interviewed him lately, it's probably because I
haven't seen him on a pay per view card or
in those high uh late fights on pay per view cards.
But look, this is the one right here, Ronda. Remember
it went viral. It was everywhere. So Derek has been
more than gracious when his time, whatever the time, is requested. Generally,
(13:02):
I haven't had to request it but to want to
power slapping big d Come on, man, every time we
see each other we still, I mean, unless there's an issue.
But with me, like I told you all time and
time again, if any fighters have issues with me, I'm
free to talk about it. But I really do enjoy Derek.
It's a great guy. Congratulations on the win. Make money
as long as you can, bro, But don't be mad
(13:22):
when people say what they feel is the truth. But
there are a lot of people saying a lot of
the same things. They're just not brave enough to say
it out in front of the world. So it is
what it is. Guys. The boy's gonna stay on people's tongue.
I guess tip with her tongues. It is what it is.
Hell well, the SPS today kind of redeemed the show
(13:43):
fat guy, bad guy because this lom said it. But
it is what it is. I love it. I love
each and everyone you. I appreciate your support and the
support makes martial Arts is hot and it's just getting
