adjust brother that one was weird cuz
then you remember they had us uh
fighting at weird times like you know
like so we had to change we had to sleep
during the during the day and then wait
like train during the night like I I
remember going to sleep around like 8 or
9:00 a.m. whoa yeah cuz we was fighting
like around that time like early in the
morning so it was just uh that was
insane so you had to get your body
acclimated to that acclimated y that's
that's got to play a factor right like
if you live in Abu Dhabi that would be a
big Advantage oh for sure for sure I I
mean did you not just see the uh the
July card that just got announced in UK
3 3:00 a.m. brother yeah that's crazy is
is the main card start so they're saying
whoever's Main Line uh headlining is
fighting at 6:00 a.m. that's crazy
that's insane bro you know how drunk

it's funny the American pay-per-view
time schedule just trumps everything oh
yeah I mean crazy I guess we're the ones

hot spot right a UK big uh I mean they
some there were some fans to be yeah

house yeah be like hey guys or you get
the single friend you know you know that

single you don't have nothing going on

that's perfect so what has it been like
for you you uh after 300 I mean it seems
like I I think for whatever
reason people go through uh phases of
their career and with some Fighters they
if a fighter gets a loss or two they
start to think that that fighter has
started to decline uh-huh uhhuh and with
you I think some people had written you
off for some strange reason brother oh
brother I the I heard it I heard the
noise I'm like listen he's only 32 32
right exactly he's only 32 that's
athletic Prime I'm like there's not no
beatings there's no Knockouts there's no
like there's no decline in the uh
expression of skills inside the Octagon
everything looks the same and better
every fight you you know what the
problem is the problem is that I I got
these guys got to see me grow up you

years old and a lot of people think I'm
DC's old ass like 42 years old or
something you know what I mean and then

lot of people was giving me a a [ __ ]
when uh cuz Islam talked about our fight
about me and Justin sing was useless

the hell is someone that you just
knocked like that was a scary knockout
brother like that was a scary knockout
ass knockout and that guy turning around
in a couple months like bro you're not

you still training hard or whatever and
like maybe you just accidentally fall
over bump your head on something you
know or like you're scratching your head
you know or you're screaming or
something cuz you're stressing out you
know I'm like I don't know what could
happen but you got you have to have a
long time yeah chill I mean look at look
at Justin I just saw Justin finally
doing interviews after this fight and he
just said like I'm not doing nothing for
six months like nothing and I'm like bro
that's smart you know when Marquez
knocked out Manny Pacquiao Freddy roach
made him wait a year one year one year
that's crazy so you got to really heal
up that was a bad knockout bro you only
got I remember it was it was you that
talked about it like that talked about
our brain this is like long time ago
when you talking about the cotton candy
thing in your brain and how it's How
once that disappear you don't that that
[ __ ] don't grow back right exactly and I
remember watching that that was a long
time ago I didn't know how many years
that was that was ago and um that really
meant a lot and everybody keep telling
me like oh Max you get hit so much and
blah blah blah this and that I'm like
yeah okay in the fight you might see me
get hit but I'm not I'm not I'm not
sparring you know like I'm not sparing
I'm being smart this just engage you one
brother I was going to the gates of hell
we had to bring back sparing you know
what I mean like I was I was ready to be
a crash dumy against we I told my Coes
look this is a man that is very
dangerous we need to get in we need to
get in in the the thick of it and get it
done so we bring back sporing for this
one but it still wasn't wi it still
wasn't crazy you know it wasn't C like
we had a hard days out far outside of
camp like outside of camp and it was cl
then we kind of toned it down but
getting for ad Justin G you had to but
then with with your brain health you
need to protect your brain you know what
I mean like there's so much movies like
on concussions and the movie concussion
and and we have so much uh what is it
information now about the brain and how
you can help yourself and how you can
mentally and physically help yourself
get better and and help the brain out so
why why not use that you know a lot of
people call me crazy a lot of people I
keep hearing to talk about his chin got
to go this time his chin like when the
hell is my chin my chin was supposed to
go the last 20 fights you know what I
mean like what what are you guys talking
about you know yeah it's ridiculous
someone either has a good chin or they
don't have a good chin but you you're
not getting hit clean a lot one of the
things that you do a lot is you you roll
with shots you're very good at rolling
with shots when you're getting hit
you're getting hit and I see you turning
your face I see you taking some steam
off of a lot of shots and your style is
so it's it's it's a fun style to watch
but it's also a nightmare to deal with
you're switching St
you're you're you're constantly cutting
angles like the volume that you put on
Justin like when Justin was having a
hard time catching to you it was it was
very evident early on that you were on
it but it was one of those fights where
it's like damn Justin with one punch can
[ __ ] people up and it's just like
avoiding that one punch and then we
start tuning him up then he dropped you
he dropped you in what round was that uh
it third I think third or fourth round I
forget four it didn't K of a drop which
is crazy you know what I mean like a lot
of people it didn't count no it didn't
so so like there there um ESPN is like
uh posting it saying like in however
many fights I'm with the UFC right I
stay didn't get dropped that's that's
some [ __ ] you I
mean get Justin down I'll take it you
know I mean but I'm not I'll would be a
man to sit here and be I wouldn't be a
man sitting here and telling you that it
did bro he bro all I remember getting
hit by that punch and then like I I I
sat and then I came back up I was like
what the [ __ ] did he me with you me I
was like holy [ __ ] I was like that was a
good punch and then when I rewatched it
he hit me like right on the top of my my
my Dome I was like holy smack brother
this guy this guy smacks and then I was
fine as soon as I got it was one of
those like boom you know like the legs
just give out the legs just give out
like I was stood there even when I was
standing I was looking at him but that
that I don't know how that didn't count
as a drop brother I don't know what they
count as a drop because that has to
count yeah yeah that was that was crazy
no that's 100% a knockdown somebody just
made a mistake but like um did you ever
see ilot Toria when he fought ji Herbert
yeah yeah yeah I saw that I saw that
what funny I never saw the fight but
then when people was uh when he was
talking about fighting and we was
fighting and saying and he was he said
something about dropping me or killing
me and then I see the comments of him
getting that that H that left high kick
getting dropped so I was like oh yeah I
didn't see the fight but I saw that part
happen it was an amazing comeback cuz he
knocked him out in the second round but
man he can take a shot because he got
hit so clean with a switch kick off the
left side right chin to the chin just
perfect I mean it was just whack and
then his whole body just goes out and
then he grabbed a hold of a sing check
this out watch this boom I mean dude
watch the head snap back look at the
head snap back I mean that is just Shin
to the chin that is just a perfect ji
Herbert head KCK but he grabbed a hold
of him and he managed to maintain his
composure got him to the ground survives
the round and actually was winning the
rest of the round too look four minutes
did a lot of wrestling a lot of
wrestling he's a very complete fighter
very very good bro he's very good very
good and his [ __ ] boxing man his
boxing is
terrifying I was I was shocked that vul
wanted to take that fight so quickly
after the makach fight and if I was his
friend I would have not recommended that
but I don't know if you could talk to
him I mean he's a champion you yeah
there dudes like that is like mate we
can do it mate we're going to go to war
he's [ __ ] animal he's an but the the
human body it's a the vulnerabilities of
the human body are real despite the
spirit of the man yeah despite the
spirit of the man you got damage no
matter your spirit you still have
something your your brain your muscles
stood hurting so it's going to only
protect itself when it feel something
when there's a warning sign going off
like oh man warning did it shut off
because it's like look I'm going to save
me from myself that's what it when Conor
fought uh Dustin the last time he had a
broken Shin yeah his leg was broken
already a stress factor right y he had a
fracture going into that fight and he
knew it and the body's just going to
your body's going to give up you know no
matter how strong the will is and think
about like what that cost him a lot two
years two years two years and who knows
where he could have been if he hadn't
taken that fight and he left look it's
only eight weeks yeah that you got a
stress fracture like that it's like 8
weeks and it's and it's healed right cuz
it's not all the way through czy it
could have healed it and crazy and us
would move they would move mountains for
that man so why not right I don't know
if they knew it was a fracture though it
definitely was but they I think they had
done MRIs on it it was inconclusive
turned out it was badly hurt you know
you've had Bone bruises before where you
like I don't know if this is broken you
got to get it looked at yeah yeah yeah
they suck no they hurt bro they how is
your left shin brother my left sh it's
all right now but they hurt bro I I was
about to talk about bro this guy kick
hard as [ __ ] yeah and his bro the way
his bones I don't know what it was made
out of bro I think so titanium like I
like to say my my chin is made out of
vibranium brother he had a vibranium leg
bro I was like he went to wakanda 2 I
was thinking to myself like how I
thought I only even got to go to wakanda
I guess he went too you know but uh you
know at the end of the day bro it it
hurt like I still my my shin still
bruised it feels good I can move I move
it whatever is like stiff after the
fight in there a lot of people always I
always hear you talk about it in there
and be like oh yeah it hurts I don't
really feel it like I don't pay too much
mind to it in in the fight I I I can
feel when he hits it and it's like oh
I'm telling myself that's going to hurt
later but you got 25 minutes you know we
we we got to stay in here you know and
that's what's interesting is it doesn't
seem to compromise your movement that
much it depends entirely upon the person
like some people get C kicked once real
hard and it swells up and you see
immediately they're walking [ __ ] up
and then they're trying to switch South
yeah they're trying to switch dances but
you don't seem to have as much of a
problem with it yeah I was it wasn't
really a problem I know it hurts I know
it's going to be hurt after the fight
but then even that like switching stance
is the most craziest thing to me while
while after getting like completely
landed nicely there cuz if I switch Dan
he screwed up two of my legs what I'm
going to do crawl over to him right you
know what I mean I rather be I rather
have one leg than two legs messed up you
know so again I think that's you you I
think you're particularly durable
because some guys like you've seen what
happens with paa he kicks you a couple
of times in that leg and that leg's
[ __ ] up man messed up everybody even
Yan bovich who's made out of rocks yeah
Yan's like his bones are made out of
stone remember when he was going with
analiia he went Shin to Shin with him
yeah he was just cracking shins with him
and [ __ ] his leg up yeah and then a
guy like bro did you see that picture of
me and Alex Alex did you guys see the
picture of me and Alex they they they
face swapped them no they put my face on
Alex perara try to look at up brother he
look like Thanos bro and money mo cono
bro money mo cono is like yeah [ __ ] this
guy you know you know money mo cono he's
like yeah [ __ ] that guy bro you got to
kill that
man m m is the funniest guy bro I love

then he just went for a regular leg kick
and almost kicked them in the head that
was crazy yeah those uh cartwheel kicks
are ridiculous crazy crazy you got to
set him up brother you can't be just
throwing them throwing them freely like
that you know well Justin tried Rolling
Thunder on you in like the last round
right I knew I knew he was going to try
it I knew that that's what Justin's
known for you know so I knew he's going
to do it we knew he's going to do a
couple stuff
we knew power punches leg kicks I I was
thinking if we got later in the rounds
or if he was getting comfortable he's
going to try and do that Thunder the
Rolling Thunder Kick so we was ready for
it you know he's got this weird ability
to kick your legs like in a clinch close
bro close bro yeah I I heard you talking
about it how his hip is so flexible that
he can just K he can bro it was almost
like you know it what it remind me it
wasn't a high kick of course but you
know what his leg kick remind me of it
reminds me of your Year's high kick like
me and your year could be nose to nose
and a [ __ ] kick comes up I'm like
holy [ __ ] like he he did it to me one
time and I was like what the like why
are you guys so flexible and then even
like with uh with um Justin with his leg

your legs no one can like no one can I
don't know anybody else who kicks the
legs from the clinch like Justin gatei

history you know especially at 55 we're
at 45 and make it make it a double belt
brother that I would love that brother a
double belt yeah that would be crazy
double belt the double belt first time
ever BMF and the lightweight title on
the line that' be crazy wow that would
be wild but even if whoever wins but
then I really like no here's the thing
at 55 you look fantastic you look bigger
you look stronger I'm sure it felt
better like you didn't have to good the
C cut bro the cut was the the cut was a
cut don't get me wrong but it was it was
beautiful brother that I was eating
sushi all week eating more I I eat sushi
when I go to 45 too but I was eating
more Sushi all week bro I was loving it
do you think that that's better for you
we see what happens you know I I feel
like I still have unfinished business at
45 I want to get the ti I mean before
this fight before this fight you know we
we only had like a couple of options
after this fight we the whole main goal
with this fight was like just have all
the options that was the that was going
that was my ment going that was my
mental going to fight was the mentality
was let's have all the options we we put
we we go out there we do something
spectacular you know I'm right up there
with the top 55s I'm right up um I still
have my my spot at with the 45ers and
then you know to my surprise after the
fight they announced a Connor a Connor
versus Cher fight so it's like me and
Connor have some history so there's
options you know what I mean so and
they're talking about doing something at
65 I know DC's been saying this I don't
know what he knows I have impressed him
I'm sure DC knows something that guy
only talks about stuff when he knows
he's a yeah yeah yeah he tries to this
is what DC asks about that you know DC
you've been you call a lot of fights
with him you know him as a person mother
he don't talk about nothing unless he
knows something is going on brother it's
either that's what I'm think yeah it's
either he he knows something going on or
he's just bullshitting so it's either
it's it's one or the other he never ever
plays the middle exactly with with that
with that you know what I mean I know he
doesn't Bush but I know he sees other
stuff it's like it's crazy like uh cuz I
saw him talking about uh the BMF I did
you see that one with that bit with RC
when he told RC that he should who
should else should fight for the BMF and
no disrespect to him but like come on DC
what the hell like he's just so off
offline on that side you know yeah he's
so out of pocket like calling that you
know well he's out of pocket because
he's just so biased towards wrestling he
wants he's like there's been no
takedowns in the BF fights like I think
that's what a BMF belt is you know well
it can be Tak Downs if it happens but it
you know just have it just because you
want takedowns bring a wrestler in that
belt is a special belt you know it's
it's it's a wild belt it's like wild
it's wild these are wild fights wild
it's wild you know you know what it's
funny like a lot of them it's funny cuz
I see a lot of These Guys these MMA guys
guys some guys who's just like even
doing MMA I see everything brother from
like low level MMA guys that's trying to
come up to mid to high and I and before
this fight everybody was [ __ ] on the
BMF whatever blah blah blah and then now
that I I got it I'm happy to see that
it's actually getting its worth you know
what I mean at the end of the day
everybody's saying oh no Undisputed well
I was an Undisputed Champion I have the
BMF belt now what is it you know you
cannot tell I well I'm fighting number
one contenders and keep fighting these
number and champions what now you tell
me what it is you know at the end of the
day the Bel was cool and I always tell
everybody the Bel is cool but you guys
got to understand it's what brings with
the belt what what the emotions it
brings and what kind of fight it brings
to a card you know like that that our
fight a lot of people was saying could
have been the main event of 3 you know
what I mean so it's insane you know 100%
and the crazy thing is there was two
insane fights after your fight your
fight was so good that two insane World
title fights afterwards happen after and
still people talk about your fight and I
feel so bad for the girls cuz that I was
watching that fight in the back after
doing my media and it was such a crazy
fight brother but but I think so people
was just they just had a a journaling
dump because of what happened in the
last fight you know I lost my voice bro
I lost my voice I really did I've never
lost my voice ever in a UFC fight but
when you dropped him I as the first time
I ever stood up I couldn't sit down I
was standing up I was just like I saw
that I saw you stand up that's the first
time I it was just what Dana had the
greatest quote in the post uh fight
press conference he said I sell holy
[ __ ] moments when people ask me what do
I do for a living look at this I
couldn't even sit down I had to get up I
had to hold on to those guys I'm holding
on to
them that's awesome it's funny when they
started putting cameras on us because
we've been doing that forever like DC
and I go crazy we hug each other we go
nuts when when something crazy happen
like what what I'm glad I'm glad they
did cuz to see your to see like see fans
and and reactions to the fight is cool
but they're fans but then when you see
like our peers and guys like you and my
fight and and other Fighters and
commentators of the sport that you've
been around forever so to see you do
that that would like that brings a
humous ass smile to my face like holy
[ __ ] I just made Joan stand the hell you
know I say to this day and I I do it
based on my reaction obviously this is
personal I say it's the greatest
knockout of all time the reason why I
say it's the greatest knockout of all
time was because everybody thought that
Justin was going to be overpowering you
he was a bigger guy he had just knocked
out Dustin poier you had lost the last
fight to volkanovski you hadn't been in
title contention since then you had a
bunch of great wins but here you're
going to fight this bigger guy and all
these people were writing you off all
these people were saying that it and
you're tuning him up and you did have to
overcome getting knocked down and you
did have adversity you had deal with
that leg and then for you to stand
winning four rounds to one in the middle
of the Octagon pointed the ground with
10 seconds left and then to knock him
out with 1 second left the way I reacted
the way I jumped up I've never done that
before all even when Leon Edwards
knocked out Usman that was another crazy
one before that I would said that was
the greatest knockout of all time
because he was down he was down four
rounds and John anic just had the
perfect call he said that is not the
cloth from which he is cut talking and
boom land his head kick like it's a
movie yeah so that was number one before
but you are number one now thank you
brother that's number one cuz just
impact all time like complete polar
shift of how people think about the BMF
belt they don't think about it as a
gimmick at all anymore cuz it was the
wildest crazy fight with an undeniable
number one contender in Justin versus
you it's wild how it happened the whole
thing was wild it it I mean Y is good at
your last fight right that's that's
that's what it is this sport I I like to
tell everybody you know this is not like
basketball this is not this is not like
baseball or like hockey where you can
just shut the bed on a Tuesday and then
you come back out on a Friday and then
you you're just a man of the world again
you know like you [ __ ] like like this
stuff happened you have a bad fight like
with Alex that fight don't get erased
off until I have something great and
even if you have a good fight you know
what I mean like I had a good fight with
Arnold but they still like ah Alex did
that and then I did it with Korean and
then I had a uh knockout over Korean
zombie and then they're like yeah but
Korean is old and blah blah blah and
then finally now disj now everybody
forgets you know like it takes us a
while to make you forget about your last
fight you know so it was just it was
amazing bro you know like to see
everybody go crazy like in my mind like
a lot of people ask me what's going to
your mind when you're doing that you're
up 41 I'm like brother that was that was
in my mind the whole time I'm like bro
we going to 10 seconds I was like I
remember counting I remember it being a
minute I remember my coach yelling a
minute Max stay clean and then I was
like a minute I was like oh hell yeah 50
more seconds until we go to the center
we're going to swing in my man and then
he's like seconds I was like holy [ __ ]
this clock is slow you know what I mean
I'm like why is it taking forever and
then he's like C down like 30 seconds
and then he's like okay 20 seconds and
then he does and he go uh he go right
after the 20 seconds mark underneath
couple seconds after he does his Rolling
Thunder and then it pushed me to the
point to perfectly circle out and then
that's when I said I did the like Oh
Come here you know let's let's go here
let's throw it cuz that just everybody's
losing their mind but to me I just this
is normal you know this the second time
this is the second time I did it you
know of course the second time I'm doing
it I heard you guys say it's it the
first time was with Ricardo but there
ain't no Justin uh Justin Gatey you know
but you know why not why not if he if he
was to put if he was going to put me out
then then so be it you know I live by
the sword well it was a a wild ending to
the fight there's a rolling thunder damn
that was a nice Rolling Thunder too that
was nice it was
close now right here oh this is so crazy
Max
oh that was crazy yeah it's the greatest
it has to be the greatest knockout it
has to
[Applause]
be and then you you flexing walking
around come on man this is that's the
greatest of all time they got the the
sickest picture of me bro they have the
sickest picture of me of when when I'm
flexing and I'm over like I love Justin
bro I freaking love the man but they
have like that you know like the
Muhammed the mamed Le picture yeah they
got a moment of me like that so I got a
painting for you I told you I got a Ross
Baines he's an amazing artist he made an
incredible painting and it's it's on the
way I had someone go back to my house go
grab it sick it's on the way sick but
yeah that was a that was a wild moment
man it it just complete shift of what
people care about in upcoming fights
like you are the [ __ ] man now like
whatever whatever next pay-per-view
you're in holy [ __ ] that's going to be
big and if it's you and makev or if it's
you and Ilia you and Ilia would be crazy
brother brother so much fun so much fun
brother I know I know is that Spain is
that 305 when is uh there going to be a
UFC Perth is 305 right I I don't think
they're going to go Spain this year I
don't think they can I think so Dana
White said it uh said it in the uh in
the 300 conference after fight
conference he said that um uh we're
going with Spain it just takes a time
because you got to book something and
it's like going to be like a year and
out so good that fight should be Vegas
Vegas let's go Vegas I hope I hope Vegas
or Madison Square Garden yeah or or or
uh Vegas Legion Stadium oh
66,000 brother that's what it is did you
use there 300 night brother did you not
see all the Hawaiian Flags they were
everywhere bro that's the that the ninth
Island brother give me you cannot we
can't go to UFC Hawaii give me me
Allegiance stadium and let's that's
that's go crazy there oh my God oh my
God you could sell it allegian stadium
for a big UFC 100% they could sell it I
mean every UFC sells out like that they
sell out so quick there's so many scal
tickets in a fight like that especially
if they put together a banger of a card
cuz you know they're doing the sphere
which is going to be wild yeah that's
going to be wild who you think who you
think going to be in the sphere that's a
good question right because that's isn't
it it's Mexican Independence Day yeah I
like it's September or something yes
it's September yeah well so who I don't
think they have it set up like who
Mexicans like to call me as their own so
I might even be in this spear who knows
they count you for your style yeah yes
sir [ __ ] yeah yeah [ __ ] what a crazy
night Max what a crazy night and uh to
to have that happen again like where
there's two amazing fights after yours
oh yeah and everybody's still just
talking about your F yeah I know I was I
mean even with the uh I remember as soon
as the fight happened you know a couple
minutes after uh my uh my agent Tim
Simpson came in and he told me hey he's
like brother they just put your knockout
on top of on top of Instagram on and
YouTube and everything I was like what
like they never do that yeah they was
like they never do that they only did
this for they only did it for sugar and
I was like what this is crazy so we saw
I thought they was lying you know and
they saw it was there three different
angle and I reposted it yeah I was like
if UFC's posting this I'm posting this
[ __ ] too like this is the craziest
knockout of all time bro the craziest
angle is the one when they they they
they they pause me and then they they
they do a 360 View and then they play it
again I'm like bro that that's that's
insane bro yeah what does it feel like
when it's all over does it feel like a
dream like what does it feel like when
it's over brother I still I you know
like I stood I'm still getting used to
it I don't even know you know I feel
normal I still life stood normal but
like I'm getting brother walking down
Sixth Street last night to get get my
dinner I was getting harassed like not
harassed like nicely harassed but like
people like yeah like I you're getting I
always get notice but like these guys
like it's uh it's out and about way more
you know and so it's just amaz bro even
like guys who don't even look like they
watch fighting you know grandmas and
grandpas at airports like hey you're
you're the guy yeah like yeah I'm the
guy well that clip got so viral too you
know that that clip was so viral it was
everywhere it was Tik Tok and YouTube it
was everywhere yeah bro we uh my so one
of one of my other agent on our team
Daniel he did like uh he's like a
numbers guy or whatever and the Google
the Google search on me was like crazy
bro I think so I think so is in like the
billions like after after it was insane
it was something stupid I was like oh
wow I didn't even know you could look
that up I told him yeah that's what
makes it very interesting for your next
fight because your next fight is going
to be huge it's going to be huge like
you're a [ __ ] Bonafide Superstar now
like your next fight's going to be nuts
can't wait bro can't wait I don't know
who it is who it was what what the UFC
want to do but um the you said that
option bro in this game you all about
option so many options and there's so
many options in your area too right like
sugar has been talking about fighting
Toria at 45 well if Su is willing to
fight Toria at 45 he's willing to fight
Max at 45 right yeah crazy there's crazy
matchups all over the place in a perfect
world you ask me in a perfect world you
know what I mean yeah in a perfect world
if I could have it my way I'd be stupid
to not say the fight Connor you know I
think that con that Connor fight would
be huge whatever but we don't know what
he's going to do so like if that's out
you a perfect Ro to me would be fight
Elia 45 title get my hand raised and
whoever's the next guy up at 55 fight
them try and go for double champ status
whatever it is or even treat belts you
know like 45 the BMF and then put it put
the BMF in the 55 against whoever had 55
and that' be that'd be surreal you know
I think that would be a crazy well
there's another option too if they
really do this Conor 165 title there's
an option of you being a three champ
that would be insane if they did the 165
it would be fun that would be fun you
would have to cut any weight oh no you
could eat sushi every day no I would eat
sushi I would eat sushi weight in day I
would eat on on the on the scale what is
what is your walk around weight like
what's right now me right now I walk
around like before I used to get to a
big boy but now I walk around like 70 75
nothing crazy oh that's not too crazy
yeah nothing crazy nothing crazy I I was
in there against uh they make us check
our weight now and I was I was only 172
when we when we went in in against gatei
when you were fighting a featherweight
what did you win when you fought I I
would be around like 65 I'd get up high
60s maybe 68 at the highest so did you I
know you did a lot of strength and
conditioning your your YouTube channel
is great by the way oh thank you by and
it's it's really cool how you document
pretty much everything you showing all
your training all the different stuff so
you did a lot of strength and
conditioning we did a lot of strength we
did a lot of strength so a lot of people
is talking about um matching G's
strength and and and I our team didn't
want to we wanted to be strong but we
still wanted to be fast we knew we was
faster than G so our our main focus
everybody thought it was strength and
getting big to be strong and to of
course endure his strikes you know but
the main thing that we wanted to focus
on was speed like I knew I could I could
out out gun him and then in the fit run
when we really hurt him hurt him I out
gone them with speed you know I hit like
I hit him with like five five hits and
and the one that you don't see heard you
the most you know and the last right
hand in that in that little combination
early in the fifth round is what hurt
him the most you know made him like I I
I stunned him a little bit so we're just
working on speed brother you know like
we had 12 weeks you you really can't I
wasn't willing to give to put strength
to give up conditioning so I was like
I'm going to be speed and conditioned
and that's the way I fight you know I I
uh if you go look at it a lot of people
was looking at stats for Minds in his
fight of like the how much he chos in
strikes and how much I I throw in
strikes how how much he gets hit which
was less than how much I get hit and I
was like brother that cannot be right
and then the stats is you know and I'm
like no way and then when you look at
the stats this guy had 12 fights and I
had like 20 plus fights in the UFC
that's what come our stats is so close
to each other because I have so much
more fights than he his and then even
that what I had a lot of time in the
octagon and he just didn't cuz he would
he would knock guys out you know what I
mean he he had that beautiful power so
you know at the end of the day like you
know the numbers some of the numbers
that these guys is putting out there I
was like you guys need to do you guys
homework you know you stop looking at
the surface level like start digging
deep into it yeah um when you I was
interesting that what you just said
about uh strength and conditioning you
you're not willing to give up
conditioning for strength uhhuh so so
how do you approach that like when you
when you made a decision to go to 55 so
the poier fight you go to 55 but you did
it on pretty short notice right yeah
yeah we had we we had like so the way we
train is I always take two weeks off
before fight so it was like six weeks
and then so we actually had four weeks
to train for them and I was like I mean
put the picture of Po punching me in my
face there's a famous picture of Po pun
in face explain that when you said do
you take two weeks off before the fight
what do you mean so like uh like
straight and conditioning so I don't do
no straing conditioning like the week
before the fight like maybe we do like a
little lift whatever but it's just
something you maintain like cuz you
can't get faster or stronger two weeks
before fight or even the week right so
even with cardio it's not going to
anything I do the week before the fight
is not going to help me and anything I
do the week of the fight is not going to
help me you all the hard work is done
right and that's what these guys yeah
look look how look how fat I was look
look at that top right one that top
right one right there look how fat I was
yeah look at that yeah that's Muffin Top
Max brother so you just and he Zooms in
wow wow you're an [ __ ]
huh so you only had four weeks and
there's no way you could put on that
amount of muscle in four weeks or
anything you know and I was like uh and
I I didn't uh I didn't have my beautiful
wife at the time so you know eat meals
was crazy before I ate out every night
that was terrible now she cooks me now
she keep uh keeps me clean so it is what
it is you know I hate using exper uh uh
excuses cuz you know Dustin I came out
there and fought hard and we fought hard
and I ain't taking nothing away from
Dustin so whatever I did was on me and
you know if that fight if if we get a
third one then that I think it would' be
a pretty fun one oh it would be amazing
that would be be wild a third fight
between you guys be wild especially if
he beats Islam if he beats Islam that's
Nob brainer that's a no-brainer how much
is the how much is the odds on betting
on him dropping a
Ghillie he's going to
try you know I didn't know that he was
referencing William Montgomery the
comedian when he I ain't never gonna
stop over that's what he was doing he
doing William Montgomery from Kill Tony
I didn't know and I'm a friends with
William Montgomery I love that dude and
I you're not a good friend Ninja what
the hell you know I felt like a bad
friend but really what it is is like
when I'm doing an interview after such a
crazy fight like that you interviews are
complicated like lock I'm trying to get
this guy to express himself as much as
possible I'm trying to stay out of the
way but I'm also trying to ask questions
and so I didn't pick up on it yeah yeah
yeah plus I didn't I was like no way
yeah you're Lo you're locked in bro
you're locked but Tony texted me he goes
did he just quote William Montgomery I'm
like no way really is that what that was
and then and then Willie texted you [ __ ]
you
no they had been going back and forth he
apparently Dustin told him he was going
to say it in his fight yeah yeah yeah
they had been dming each other oh that's
awesome bro Dustin Dustin's the man
broti heing you there have been moments
in the fight where you chose to jump to
guard and try to grab a
guillotine yeah I'll do it and I'll
never stop doing it
it BR that's that's
bro he's one of the good guys in in our
sport he's a great guy he's a great guy
I love Dustin I love Dustin and I was
glad for him to get that that win over
Ben wson Den is a monster Monster killer
bro he's a killer bro yeah and that's
another fight right look ston gets staff
yeah so he's got staff on his forehead
he's got to take antibiotics drain have
you ever had staff no bro knock on wood
that's amazing how' you how have you
avoided staff yeah brother I'm clean I
guess I guess I guess do some guys is
some dirty mother e I think you know
well you can get staff easy you can get
staff easy no I know I know some guys uh
some and once it's in your in your
system you just it just got to get we
awakened right so it's one of our
friends like he's pretty bad with it
like he's always got staff like every
other week feels like oh really yeah
it's terrible he is terrible he take
showers brother he does he does
everything I don't know what it is it's
just bad luck I think another thing is
like people mistakenly use antibacterial
soap like you don't want antibacterial
soap you want to keep your Healthy gut
floor I tell everybody I don't I know
the guy owns the company I've have no
affiliation with it but defense soap if
you're a Grappler it's the [ __ ] defense
soap is all natural it's like tea tree
oil eucalyptus oil and he has all kinds
of products everything from stuff to
clean like wipes if you can't like get
to a shower quick enough if you know if
you're training in a place that's kind
of dingy and doesn't have a shower they
have wipes until you get home they have
soaps and ointments that's the most cra
crazy thing bro right when people like I
see people like we train and then we
have a shower at the gym and some of
them just like change their clothes and
like I got to go I was like the what the
hell did you shower I said no no I got
to leave I was like the hell no way you
know like I I live like 45es some some
of them live like maybe 15 minutes but
15 minutes is enough for a ringworm or
something to [ __ ] wake up you know so
it's like brother just jump in there get
a rinse off yeah I've had ringworm I've
had staff twice I've had ringworm a
couple of times it's annoying it's
annoying ring irritating the defense
soap is the [ __ ] I tell everybody get on
that just make and it doesn't mess up
cuz it's all natural it's like tea tree
oil and eucalyptus oil and smells good
but it doesn't [ __ ] up your skin floor I
had I knew this dude who had ringworm
and so he started using antibacterial
soap and he then got it everywhere he
got all spread all over his chest and
then what it does too it burns your skin
yeah so like so like when you use that
kind of stuff with ringworm I remember
people used to like bleach them and then
you'd be bleach you'd have a bleach
circle like a crazy yeah it's crazy yeah
a lot of psycho dudes use bleach that's
a crazy move to pour a bleach on an open
wound like what the [ __ ] are you what
are you doing man so um so for for this
fight how much notice did you have that
you were going to fight at 55 and that
you're going to fight Justin brother so
there there there is an idea of maybe
maybe that was going to happen for a
while but we didn't know and then we got
we got confirmed I think was like 10 to
12 weeks you know like I I don't know
what it was so it like 10 to 12 weeks so
it was like more than enough time this
is like we had so much time brother we
was planning I got the train I got the
lift I was already we was training a lot
my last fight was in August so I was in
I was in the gym training getting ready
brother after the V after the vul and uh
Islam 2 fight I was like there is no way
they're letting this guy turn around so
I I really thought they was going to try
and ask me me uh to go fight Elia in
January or something I I went to Toronto
I fought in Toronto twice I want an inro
I defended the belt there I I have a
following in Toronto I call it a 10th
Island you know I like to call it but I
love the Canadians they they're
literally the best so I was thinking
like man they would they we're going to
get called you know like there's there's
no way that he's going to fight and
then he did they this moved it from
January of February they put the other
card whatever they switch it around so
we was I was already training and then
yeah I couldn't tell you when but I knew
we had at least 12 weeks at least 12
weeks when did you know that it was
going to be 55 and when did you know it
was going to be for the BMF
belt was 12 weeks 12 weeks 12 weeks had
you already had a plan to put weight on
did you already had a plan like strength
the conditioning plan and oh for sure as
as soon as we as soon as the talks of
maybe we might even fight gatei at all
was like we just got to we our plan was
what I said was like we got to put on
size to endure our damage but then let's
not lose this speed that's my my my my
my head coach Darren y tactical straight
the best straight and condition in all
of Hawaii and if somebody got a problem
then they can they can meet me somewhere
anywhere you know but but you know all
jokes aside he's the he's the man bro
and he's the one that was like yeah you
know like I I like look I know you want
to get strong Max he's the one that came
up with he like I know you want to get
stronger but we still need your speed
bro we still need your speed and we got
to outwork this guy you know like oh he
always weaponized my card he was like
brother whoever we fight you're going to
outwork him so let's just get your speed
up stay fast get a little bit bigger
without B too much to get to to he he
didn't he was the main one he's like I
don't want to give up strength uh uh uh
I don't want to give up conditioning for
strength brother like the idea is the
more muscle you have the more endurance
it's going to require yeah and and
especially like even with with everybody
like I train with bigger guys you know
here and there and I never ever once
felt like holy [ __ ] this guy is so much
stronger than me like I never ever once
felt that way you know you hear these
talks of some people saying oh this
guy's really strong so I try to go with
him I was like ah he's all right you
know it's not like oh my God he's going
to be strong so I felt like I know how
to fight to my strengths I guess like
yeah he might be physically stronger
than me but I know certain techniques or
certain ways to put my body that I can
get away with how strong I am and not
make him feel as strong as he is you
know and and that's what it is you know
I keep telling a lot of these a lot of
these MMA guys are just people coming up
even my amateur uh the are amateur
Fighters that's coming up I just keep
telling them like brother there's no
difference between me and you the only
difference is my experience you know
like that even with even with UFC
fighters you know like the only
difference between top 15 and top 10 is
experience and their mindset you know
top 10 to five experience mindset five
to the championship same thing and then
the champion and maybe like the top
three guys after that is like it's just
a mind it's a mind thing brother this
[ __ ] is easy most of these things that
is hard is because you make it hard a
lot of guys make it hard for themsel I'm
like what are you doing you're beating
yourself up for what this is just
[ __ ] practice get better you know I
mean that's all you got to do stop stop
beating yourself up and um but you have
a great mentality for that you're able
to like go past losses easily it is what
it is and you keep moving and you're on
the path but for some people like losses
are devastating because their whole
identity is based on success and if they
don't get success then they feel like
they're a loser but even with that the
whole identity thing that's what it is
like even when like uh you see guys with
retiring from other sports or our sport
like they have that identity crisis cuz
they're so known for one thing and then
that's come I tell them like that's come
I love doing other this stuff like
people bro oh my God I stream I stream
on kick now I stream on kick.com and um
brother I during the whole fight I'm
streaming they're like yep thank you for
this Max I'm putting my house on gatei
now he's training while you playing
[ __ ] video games I'm like what the
[ __ ] I like bro I need to be training
for 24 hours of a day like a [ __ ]
cyborg or something what the hell like
like yep yep yep you yeah look look at
you over here I freaking I do slots in
there you know G like we play fun like
yep look at you doing this [ __ ] losing
money you're going to lose your fight
too I'm like what the f like bro you
can't catch a break bro those are just
losers unfortunately I don't mean
anything bad to you guys out there but
if you're commenting to a guy like that
you're a loser there's no way you're a
winner it's not possible it's not
possible that you're excelling at
whatever you do no one comes to you like
That's Mike he's the best no one no
chance if you're commenting like that on
people you're just you're a loser and
that's unfortunate I've been a loser in
my life you know it's it's uh it's
common yeah it's common but you're a
loser and winners don't think that way
and the idea that a guy can't play some
video games and unwind while he's in the
middle of a camp you're out of your
[ __ ] mind you don't understand yeah
BR you understand what you're talking
about that's like I I like talking to
Mighty cuz Mighty me and mighty did an
interview might's the best yeah he's a
man and he was just telling me like it's
so funny cuz every time I tell everybody
like fighting is easy like a lot of
people look at me crazy they're like
what you mean it's easy I was like bro
anything you do in life is easy is just
that you make it hard a lot of [ __ ]
make it hard for themselves like you
it's actually pretty easy you know it's
like if you look at the steps these are
the steps yeah you might fall down in in
the sense of in the sense of actually
getting it done it's going to be hard
work but it's easy cuz you know what you
got to do right and I told Mighty when I
told Mighty about fighting Mighty was
the first guy ever that said like bro
that's what I tell everybody I tell
fighting is easy I was like holy [ __ ] if
the MMA goat is telling you fighting is
easy stop harassing me go harass him you
know what I mean go tell him he said it
too I think it's easy for you and I
think it's easy for Mighty because you
guys are real champions you have this
Champion mindset and that's what people
need to learn they need to learn a
mindset for improvement a mindset for
getting better at things and a mindset
for staying positive 100% that's what
it's that's really what it's about 100%
you can apply that to anything in life
so a guy like you that's a champion in
MMA you could do anything man all you
need is just like whatever that thing is
focus on that thing and if you put the
same kind of attention on that thing
that you put on your MMA career oh yeah
that's I told I I I tell everybody I
told uh it's so funny whenever me and my
me and my wife she always I was like you
so lucky I wasn't a surfer I would have
been a world champion Surfer she she
like I I I'm bad at surfing okay I'm bad
but I told her but you're lucky that I
don't put my effort into it cuz I'm
going to be badass yeah I'm sure and
that's a fact how did you get so good at
that jump spinning back kick brother
just practice bro I did anybody show you
do you no do you remember do you
remember me telling you it was here it's
a vile CP about me learning strikes in
the game that's one of the strikes yeah
that's one of the strikes brother I saw
the strikes from the game I like hen bar
hen and baral threw it thre it thre it
nice I was like with Dustin Kimura I
told him brother we need to do this
spinning back kick [ __ ] it's is so good
and it's a secret weapon and and then
the thing is funny cuz I in the game I
was throwing it close like a lot of
people throw it from distance but I
threw it real close like almost in
clinch that's why I asked yeah and and I
told him like bro this is going to be
secret weapon I remember Dustin Kimura
he he he was in the UFC for a little bit
and um and I and I was trying to make
him practice it with me he I remember
him saying one time like [ __ ] this kick
this kick is stupid as hell and then uh
we kept practicing kept
practicing another guy a big guy came
down trained us and he dropped him
spinning back kicked and from the clinch
right and I was like what I told you
brother I told you this [ __ ] kick is
a secret weapon how were you practicing
it close up what a drill he would just
stand close I was like bro like I I we
ID get my timing from from it being a
distance first and then we'd be like
little bit closer and be like bro we got
to all we got to focus on is bringing
our knee up and and then pushing it out
at the last second and the main thing
was just bringing your knee up and
snapping your head around snap your head
around first see where you going to land
so you don't kick each other in the
freaking groin area cuz it happened a
couple times
to me and him so but yeah it was like
bringing the up high look and then and
then push it do do you ever practice
where you stand right next to the bag
yeah I touch the bag with your shoulder
just jumps back jump back and and I I
create my distance from jump me jumping
away from the baging and stabbing yes
exactly if you can develop that that is
a secret weapon because it's one of
those techniques it's like you remember
when the calf kick came along
everybody's got to throw a calf kick if
you could develop that yaer has it Yer
does it really well but this was a giant
moment in the beginning of the look look
how close you are look how close you are
to be able to get that off from there
and to hit him in the nose his nose was
gone yeah it was BR you shattered his
nose at the very end of the first round
and from from then
on what a [ __ ] fight man I watched
that fight at least 10 times no [ __ ]
at least AES I watched it over and over
again in the gym I I would lie to tell
you if I didn't watch it that much and
dude I always pause always pause no
matter what I'm doing if I'm at the gym
I pause for that last 10 seconds just
like this like how is this real how is
this real but you got that jump spinning
back kick down dude you you got it down
um in the most unusual way which is the
hot back and then throw it like Raymond
Daniels does that really good even even
you like back in the day when was a
video game and and I started looking at
SP back kicks I there's a clip of you
hitting a [ __ ] kill in the bag bro
yeah I was like what the [ __ ] jog get
fight was like what the hell is going on
this guy kill you with a spinning back
kick there's only one clip of me in a
tawi no fight and it's Me Knocking a
dude out with a spinning back kick holy
[ __ ] and I sent him flying it was but
it's the same exact move the guy's
moving forward and I just jump and spin
at the same time it was the same move
cuz I was like in the air when I landed
it that's crazy that was my favorite
thing to do so when I see a guy like you
doing it from up close and I know you
learned how to [ __ ] strike from video
games which is so when you told me that
the first time I was like what I thought
oh we went to like a traditional karate
school and then he started studying mu
time when he was 10 no no no no no no we
I saw cool stuff happening in the game I
was like oh bro we could put this
together in real life and bro Dustin we
never have striking coach you know I
didn't have Ivan yet and then after the
Connor fight is when Ivan Ivan Flor
joined my Camp so and then with him with
bro Ivan is a genius like he's like real
like he really he like he loves the
basic stuff but then when I try to tell
him or or short and fancy stuff or I see
mu Tha doing [ __ ] like sweep the leg and
like elbow and stuff or whatever it's
like it's crazy you know like even even
this fight week bro like uh if you watch
the fight a bunch of times I'm I'm doing
this uh right kick I do this right kick
and then I just step over on my right
hand against gatei I just saw we saw
that like we I practiced that I threw
that a bunch of times in other fights
but then like two weeks before the fight
I he sent me a clip on Instagram like oh
look at this watch this and was I forget
who it was but the guy the the way that
guy was right kicking he set up with a
right low kick next one right low kick
right overand and like hurt and kills
guy
with it and I was like holy [ __ ] we know
we know Justin likes to like stay there
after kicks to to throw so I was like
brother this is going to work on Justin
so we just kind of added in our game I
told him bro I think I'm going to throw
this in the fight he's like yeah let's
practice it you know so I Ian Flores is
the man bro he's the man you have an
amazing Camp yeah all my coaches is the
man bro you really do have an amazing
amazing group of people but you also
it's the argument that uh a lot of guys
have been making that a smaller Camp is
maybe better for some athletes cuz
there's a lot of guys who want to go to
like at but you know the guy like I
talked to Jim Miller about this and he
said that he really started improving
much more when he concentrated on
himself and got had a smaller camp and
he stopped teaching yeah sto running his
gym and at the end of the day these big
camps you know like even even in Vegas
bro like I I hear everybody going to
Vegas and training training and and like
bro like one of the guys out there was
telling me was like the W Wild West so
like how do you get better every day
you're going to train and this knowing I
might fight this guy you know what I
mean I might I might have to fight this
guy you know like I have I have guys my
wait some some guys might wait in my in
my class and and I told him brother like
like I would tell him like if we ever
got to the point where we both in the
UFC we're fighting for freaking a lot of
money like you better sign that damn
contract we done kill each other here
but you my brother you know we done kill
each other and stuff for free you'd be
stupid as hell to not take a fight
against me in the UFC or whatever but
that's different from going to a big gym
and like and and actually being wor like
I'm not worried you know if we fight we
fight but like some of these guys you
going in there and fighting your your
life it's like a fight every day of the
week and that [ __ ] is going to [ __ ]
like mentally brother that is going to
beat you down every day going like oh my
God I'm fighting for my life here oh my
God like bro I feel I feel fight like
everybody can can call me a liar and
whatever but bro in the fight I'm
nervous as hell in the back bro with the
Justin fight um this last one I was
telling people I was like what the [ __ ]
what the [ __ ] am I doing here why am I
fighting Justin what the hell are you
doing Max you know like like that bro
I'm not even lying I'm in the back I'm
in the back thinging like [ __ ] like

this is the last time what the hell it's
like now you're on USC 300 you be a
[ __ ] a million people going to buy
this pay-per-view what the hell are you
doing and then I soon as the the the
lights come on I start hearing my song
that's when it changes you know then
it's like it's gool time it's like nah
Max you can't be [ __ ] working at
McDonald's making this much money let's
go get this paper you know what I mean

like the ocean bro M they made they made
me look like it was the ocean and the
the the way we had to turn in our song
so Early bro so like usually I can turn
in my song like the week of the fight or
the week before the fight walk out song

out song now cuz we're trying to do
something and then that was what they
did they the lights that was on the
chairs that all the guys had they made

made M look like the ocean so it was
like wavy but then Justin's one was sick
cuz like every time The Beat hit the
lights on the the stuff went up or like

he's almost like he's like the guy that
you call to go kill somebody for you
Hitman you know he's like I need a
Hitman okay brother I got you yeah
exactly exactly so that fight was a wild
fight too it's like there's so many
fights that got lost the the fight your
fight especially that knockout was so
crazy that people forgot that you [ __ ]
Dustin up the first part of the fifth
round like I kind of forgot about it
until I watched it again I was like oh
yeah he had him almost out yeah almost
heard him almost heard him almost heard
him but you know oh you heard him even
even even even when uh I called my dad
you know and you're going to love this
one but then I I went like this and then
when I was when I was flirting him every
even in every round every time I HT him
I'd come in I'd do a little bit and if
it didn't put him down or hurt him more
I just backed off cuz everybody's like
why is he not attacking why is he not
attacking I'm like brother every time I
heard him he had the craziest look in
his eyes brother and one time he said
let's get it on so I was okay you know I
was like no I'm okay brother I'm I'm
here I'm going to keep picking you you
know but he did he did but all jokes ins
like he did have the craziest look in
his eyes brother it was it was crazy
like I would H I was like why are you
even standing bro you know like and then
I just thinking yeah you're all right
you're Justin gatei yeah you're a
freaking highlight you know so well he
said the wildest [ __ ] before the fight
said I I don't make plans after my
fights cuz I don't plan on being yeah
when I saw that I was like what the f is
this guy human you know what I mean how
the hell did he get led into wakanda
it's not a very wakanda mindset you
know uh oh there's one thing that has
come up that I think we probably should
talk about and it's uh the paja Jamal
Hill
knockout and it is it's an interesting
thing that was brought up and I didn't
think anything of it at the time and
then I watched it again I was like
there's kind of a point there and the
point is Jamal accidentally hits him low
he like kicks him in the hip and uh Herb
Dean comes in to stop it and then do he
he does Super gangster thing but in the
meantime Jamal has stopped in Rel
relaxed after he threw the kick he gives
him a thumbs up like you cool and then P
does it and then P advances and then
herb is to the left so it's like he
can't even move too much to the left and
all of a sudden he's on him and he hits
him with that left hook and I think
Jamal is saying I would have never let
him that close to me yeah if it wasn't
for that nut shot and I didn't know
exactly what was going on so herb had
stopped it herb is out of his field of
vision herb is over here so when Herb's
doing this I don't know he said I don't
know if let's see if we can watch it cuz
he St he St I think so I think so I know
what you're saying cuz even there like
he stands there and like kind of like
like half half like touch gloves with
him right and then like and and Alex is
like using a touch glove to step in St
and then Alex CHS the left foot Alex
steps on his foot too steps on his foot
that's the old that's the old boxing
trip old boxing trip
soux so he steps on his front foot and
then hits him with that left hook from
Hell his left hook is a crazy weapon man
brother the thing don't even look hard
it's crazy tell me not it just looks
like and then when did you not see the
jol that it sent down his body yeah you
see his eyes roll he he he almost did a
was he the one that knocked out Johnny
Walker yeah yeah he almost did the he
almost did the Johnny Walker like his
body like kind of extended that was kind
of crazy I was like Wow crazy and is was
a glancing blow glancing brother and it
was like a it was even a hook was like a
uppercut hook yeah like a shovel hook
yeah like yeah like a Mexican hook the
way he lands it man
like he don't give a [ __ ] Bro the fight
that he got before he fought in the UFC
did you ever see that one no is the most
vicious left hook knockout of all time
he hits a dude with a high kick the guy
blocks it he steps the guy steps quack
he just cleanly his you know he's got
that long frame he's so long and there's
all this torque and he just torqus his
whole body and whips across it sounds
like a like a baseball bat hit in a
watermelon just [ __ ] and the dude just
drops face how are how are people just
have that kind of power right his power
is crazy he he punched the the machine
91 SP back kick did you you kick I never
kicked a spinning back kick but with a
roundhouse kick I got to
152 that's crazy but the difference
between that and 190 with one punch here
it is yeah he clips now let's let's back
it up again because let's make the
argument let's see what happens so go
all the way to the nutsh shot so here's
the nutshot
so now I watch watch Jamal Jamal stops
watch his legs his lock legs lock up
he's relaxed he gives a thumbs up we
cool we cool and he touches herb so now
they're back at it yeah but look at his
St he's ready to to paa peda has never
relaxed so this time has gone on with
this is a little we're doing it in slow
motion right let's do it in real speed
so here we see
this so you know the fight had started
the fight have restarted but would that
have would that position have taken
place if it wasn't for Jamal relaxing
yeah give him the thumbs up so you you
know like not his fight so my fight the
number one thing when I was going with
Justin was just be on all the time right
like just [ __ ] Max like I was just in
the back to myself mentally physically
you need to be here every [ __ ] second
every millisecond brother cuz is a crazy
thing cuz you one one one millisecond
off lights can turn off Max you need to
be on so that was the main thing that I
was telling myself the whole fight you
know like with that like if I was in a
situation I don't give a [ __ ] what the I
would have [ __ ] I would have told her
[ __ ] are we going like I would
have been like come on like I should
would have been ready you know like it's
protect yourself at all times you know
there is a a weird millisecond where no
one knows what's going on and when paja
is still moving but paa is in look at
paa he's that Miller he's still like
he's going to B Arrow your ass again
watch it again so the low kick and then
as Jamal but stop it go all the way from
the beginning watch this so when Jamal
lands the kick he touches him and then
he makes look at the distance he closes
see close right there right there yeah
look distance but back it up again so
you see the distance that Jamal's
maintaining initially then he throws the
kick now watch this they pause Jamal
thumbs up but P has closed the Gap now
right there yeah look how close he is
he's closed the gap lot more than he
Jamal probably would have let him now
it's a mistake by Jamal protect yourself
at all times but also it it does seem
like there's a moment of confusion there
is there is I mean because he does close
that distance he does bro significantly
it's like a double step watch from here
today yeah he hops he hops in yeah look
right there hop hop yeah and now you're
in the danger zone that's [ __ ] Kenny
Rogers or Kenny loggin highway to the
danger zone oh yeah and so once he does
that that little in he takes advantage
of that moment to close the gap yeah the
left H is so clean bro look at this so
he doesn't stop when herb stops him he
closes when he puts her he closes the he
Clos the distance and then to to her
toop yeah yeah or during that that whole
watch it it's this yeah so he touches it
he hop close the distance while Jamal's
legs are straight so Jamal gives him the
thumbs up and peda had a double hop in
that time yeah yeah yeah and and and
Jamal didn't know yeah this is a this is
a real moment now I'm not making any
excuses for Jamal and Jamal can take a
loss as good as anybody and after the
Paul Craig fight he's like I [ __ ] up
you got me this is it but he's got a
point here it's it's not a perfect point
because they had engaged again I know
what you mean had closed that Gap to a
point where Jamal was not letting him do
that early but but then again like you
know playing devil advocate you know
nothing but love for for Jamal but [ __ ]
bro you just you need to be locked in
there who the [ __ ] cares you know like
you're fighting another dangerous man a
man across you that you know you each
other you guys Land one good shot you
guys both can put each other away it's
like I don't know bro because at the end
of the day it's a mistake on his part
you have to be but with her like it
sucks you know like how much times do we
hear or a a a a freaking judge or even a
ref screwing up the fight you know what
I mean so it's like you need to like
anybody Fighters amateur Level Pro level
the best fighters in the world whatever
it is don't don't don't put it in these
guys hands man I mean it's it's easier
said than done but don't leave it you
know like It's just tough yeah just be
aware you know like you do have a third
man in there they are supposed to be
looking out for you but how much times
do we see was sometimes it that's just
not the case or it's just too early you
know so at the end of the day [ __ ] it
sucks but what you going to do there you
you know what I mean like all we're
going to do is we're going to have this
kind of talks and arguments and he's
going to have arguments and stuff and
nothing's going to get changed you
here's the question like what is the
protocol when a referee steps in and
says stop because there's a even with
him tell him stop the protocol should
have been like okay separ okay whatever
go back to the middle like you pushed
him against the cage whatever and we saw
you hop okay you want me to stuff back
up a little bit let's let me go he needs
to still go in the middle of them and be
like okay fight right you you can't be
like get stopped and then moved off to
the side okay fight fight to he cuz if
if uh if what's his name Jamal couldn't
see him I could understand like in his
peripheral like he's just focused you
know and then and then maybe stuff stays
fight and I'm just focused on you like
okay what's going on you know right
there's there's definitely an argument
that if you're going to do that and
you're going to stop a fight momentarily
even if you're going to restart it you
have to understand that the momentum has
stopped things have changed and if one
guy does this and hops in during that
time you kind of have to step and
separate them and then engage so he does
the engage off he goes off to the side
but now the argument against that that
I've heard is that this happens all the
times where Fighters get kicked and the
referee says hold on the fighter says
I'm fine and then they let him keep
going so maybe that's a good argument
too that Jamal should have been more
prepared but it seems like he had
actually told him to stop and that's
when Jamal did this
yeah or excuse me Alex did this so is
that up to the fighter what are the
rules what are the rules moment like
when the referee says stop are the
fighters allowed to say no I'm fine or
are they supposed to address the referee
and say I'm fine he said time yeah he
says time and he puts his hand up and
now where's herb Her herde Moves away
Jamal does not have eyes on him yeah
yeah you're looking at him the whole
time cuz he's not trying to get cracked
Jamal does but is much closer to to him
now yeah he's much closer and no nobody
but look at the angle that he takes too
like Alex is Alex is St he's cutting off
the cage there bro yeah he's cutting off
the cage you pushing him to his right to
cut off the cage bro look and herb is
right to Jamal's left yeah look at that
that
was that was beautiful was beautiful
beautiful that was crazy he's a Monster
yeah that guy's a monster I was telling
everybody about that guy when he was in
glory when they were saying he was
coming over to the UFC I was like I told
DC I go dude get ready for this
[ __ ] cuz this [ __ ] puts
people into orbit brother he's got crazy
power brother the wormholes bro
universes different universes you wake
up on the other side of Might he might
have actually you know since we're
talking about wakanda he might be like a
do a strange guy he might have the ring
on bro look underneath his glove or
something that's what's happening bro
well but he is is a real Amazon Warrior
like that's his gen his gen yeah you see
him bro you see him go back to to his
village yeah all painted up and stuff

real deal he's a man how the [ __ ] was he
ever making 185 is the big question and

with
him look at Jamal though he caught the
did did you see it in the other angle he
caught the arrow he broke it yeah that
was that was cool Jamal was telling me
when I talked to him about it he said he
feels like he was winning that fight he
said he was implementing his his
strategy he was uh he landed that one
good right hook in the first round and
he felt like he was on his way he felt
like he was doing everything he wanted
to do not letting that dude get close
but that thing [ __ ] him up yeah I mean
that that there's a real there's a real
moment there a that's a sport right like
you know what it's funny brother you

whatever but what is crazy is that when
I read when I read uh I see comments or
