Merab Dvalishvili tells the guys about where he stands in training camp with a little less than a month until his upcoming fight …
we’ve never seen a fight where someone’s landed this many strikes in a row and nothing else has happened on the other side he’s got that risk the machine [Music] [Applause] filter tell me that’s on video I’ve never been happier for a podcast that’s dangerous welcome to UFC unfiltered uh safe cellular joins us today for the whole show which is great uh thanks for coming on man appreciate it absolutely guys good to see you safe I’m sorry what were you saying no you were saying something we just were I mean every time I see you look leaner and leaner you’re going back in time look at this guys this guy’s taking it all the way back to the welterweight I mean there it is because he lost weight recently you’re talking to me yeah man you look good dude thank you safe I didn’t have to bring that up I really didn’t listen to him yeah hold on Jim always looks good thank you safe I appreciate that thank you very much he holds it steady all the time so thank you very much I didn’t want to say that but I do appreciate it I will accept it uh what did you what did you think of the uh of course I wanted to ask you of uh them taking a point from menifield um did you think that that was understandable uh what did you think about that I mean the thing was in the situation it made sense but I just wish he would have gotten more of a warning I feel like he didn’t really get a warning but that’s to say like if you break a rule do you really need a warning you know so it’s kind of one of those things I just felt like it really affected the fight yeah um you know and the outcome of the fight obviously was a draw you know you got to give crude a lot of credit he came back I mean he was you know all heart there and came back and I it’s just one of those I mean you can’t say it was wrong because it wasn’t wrong I just wish there would have been a warning um refresh my memory what was it again with this uh Jimmy crew was uh going for a takedown Alonzo grabbed the fence but I guess it was a very blatant cage grab like it was one of those ones where was Mark Goddard was the ref or or was it Jason Herzog um it was Mark Goddard I thought so but he took a point immediately like no warning just walked them around took the point you know what’s rough about that one is because with a dangerous powerful Striker like that and when a guy puts when he exerts a lot of energy into trying to get a guy down when they die down if they have good control the way crude does and whatnot possibly that’s when they get a few seconds to rest a little bit just to be like oh forgot that but when you do like a that’s a fail takedown and when you lift someone off and you go to and they grab something and then now you don’t got a chance to rest now their way you could really impact they can’t fight so it’s one of those it could be a strong warning starting back in and that kind of thing or it’s doing something worse last week with uh who was it when he thought he gave a headbot or maybe he did he took away yeah yeah yeah it’s bothering me now but first of all I felt it was I didn’t feel it was purposeful but I felt it was blatant enough to Warrant the point and I remember you didn’t I don’t think he literally I think it was in the I don’t think he’s sitting there like I don’t know Mark Coleman I think it was one of them you know what I mean I don’t mean he’s trying to use his head as a Mark Coleman baby was screwed there one thing you do things that really would affect Mark Coleman’s Legacy if it was around is when he was younger his prime would be yasada and the headbutt rule he’d be right he’d never be a champion let’s let’s talk about this these younger fans they’ve got to see smashing machine if you haven’t seen smashing machine with Kerr and Mark Coleman and that that scene where he’s sitting there with the belt in the locker room by himself right when he’s won the Grand Prix and he’s he’s just taking all that emotion in you know I mean that old school MMA man I love I love it and you know we remember it it doesn’t seem that long ago to us but hell that was 15 years ago maybe long 20 I don’t know how long it’s been the guys that tried on sorry sorry go ahead go ahead keep going that’s it that’s all that’s all I had to say I just had that memory in my head and you know you remember the scene how nice was it to see Jen’s Pulver get uh recognized and being brought into the Hall of Fame and I guess it really took him off guard he was very emotional watching him get so moved by it like it was although I guess a couple weeks before it’s nice to see that he’s getting that recognition yeah safe and I want to say something I have to go ahead a couple things I mean uh you know I was in Rio for Brandon’s fighting and I saw Jose Aldo he came to the back and he gave Brandon a hug and stuff before such a nice guy I couldn’t think of a guy that deserves it more right um and then that moment for him to have in Rio was very special but Jen’s you know I mean we did the show not long ago uh all of us and I mean I love Jen’s he’s just a ball of positivity he’s always complimenting everyone else and always telling everybody else how great they are and for an old school guy like that he was a bad too I mean you watch those videos and the tape of him and how good his hands were and how fast he was and for him to have that Accolade I mean Hall of Fame is forever man that’s the standard so a big shout out congrats to Jones old school old school gangster yeah he was the king back then I mean he was the lightweight like uh back then it was lightweight I think he would have been a lighter weight now but uh when he fought BJ Penn at the Mohegan Sun ages ago uh BJ Penn obviously went on to break things and got him in a rematch but uh you know people James was the like the long-time Champion people were picking against him because BJ was the The Prodigy and the next big thing and he beat him and he was like the underdog as the champ and he fought him five rounds and and uh he beat BJ and that was a big thing back then a lot the people that are listening now should throw Jens over his name into the uh UFC Fight Pass yeah we had a great great career and uh it’s been you know it’s funny like I seen it I seen the video it was so emotional with him when he found out yeah and his son his son came in frame and they were hugging and crying Jimmy I don’t know if you’re thinking Jimmy you’re you’re a chair you’re a jerk well I thought it was beautiful I I loved seeing I love Jen’s it’s such a nice guy you can’t not be happy for Jen’s this is the thing yeah this is like this is what I I thought about when I was inducted into it and it’s I’m an emotional guy too you know my daughters the other day just show you how emotional I am and I’m not going to get too into it just on a weekend they did a dance comp all weekend and they did a Duo together and they won a special award it really was good oh nice that’s awesome that was so great so I’m a very emotional guy Jimmy knows so when I got the call for the uh when I got a call from my Jimmy we made a joke about this one because when I remember when they called me and then they replayed it on the show and it was my response to being put into the Hall of Fame and it was just I was just like taking back a little but like I didn’t hit me yet so like Dana told me now I’m like oh I go hey honey I told my wife honey I’m in the Hall of Fame and then Jimmy’s making fun like hey honey I’m in the Hall of Fame can you bring down a sandwich and like I was making light of it which I wasn’t but I see all these other guys getting so emotional crying I’m like man I feel like a piece of I should have went back and if I would have I didn’t I got hit by surprise yeah these guys are blowing their eyes out and I’m like I go it meant a lot to me I had my family there and but I think I think the thing is Matt would you yeah I mean a lot of people know you you know you have this show and you have a platform and everybody knows about the GSP fight even though you never talk about it everybody knows every biggest upset ever everyone was saying Islam bulk everyone was like I think Arrow was like wait a minute Sarah GSP I mean so people know you I think with Jen’s people kind of don’t know who he is I mean there’s so many new faces in the sport there’s so many young fans they don’t really know and it’s hard for guys like that to sit back and watch and I mean you know he held the belt he was the man I mean the number one guy at the latter weights and no one even knows who you are and and you know I think that just him getting that acknowledgment I think that’s where all that emotion came out of and I I really I thought you know I thought that that’s really what it’s about so everyone is in a different place with their legacy and it’s true and uh you take a guy like cowboy Cerrone he never won a title but everyone’s Gonna Know cowboy Cerrone until the day he dies you know by one name too so it’s a little bit different yeah you know and it’s also it’s nice to see and we do have marab in the waiting room but it was nice to see like Bisping Dominic those guys as X Fighters went so far out of their way to speak highly of him and let anybody who’s a new fight fan know this guy is a Pioneer and he deserves this like this is a guy you may or may not know but he absolutely is one of the uh and what dominic Cruz got like a little emotional and he’s like a robot to watch him get caught up in it you know you never see Dominic Cruz like that so it was really really nice I think I think put a cap on it it’s just really awesome that we can share this history that we have Matt is such a big part of it all of us that were around in 2005 2006. you know now the UFC is so big the Sport’s so big I mean it’s just crazy but back then it just wasn’t you know and there wasn’t as many fights there wasn’t as many pay-per-views and opportunities so it’s cool to see the respect given from the guys that are commentating on the guys that are you know on top in the media um given that recognition all and there’s a ton of guys like Jen’s man we could go on and on and on Matt can go on and on remember this guy remember that guy and I mean it just never ends and there’s so many guys that fall short of that Hall of Fame status or a championship title they never even get that Accolade so it was it was it was good to see that love being thrown out speaking of future Hall of Famers barab thanks for joining us now it works now he hears us say it again yes yes marab do you can you hear us buddy I can’t hear you okay good we’re not sure if you get tested how are you I’m great how are you uh very good how are you feeling about uh uh the prior fight and uh again we’ve talked to you before we’re very very happy for you that you’re finally getting these fights that you deserve these these big fights guys have to deal with you now nobody wants to deal with you and now they have to thank you so much yeah it’s uh for sure it’s a great fight and uh really I’m excited uh they are against fight against former champion this is amazing of course morale I’m so happy to see you murab marab has been in Vegas getting ready for this you know what I mean and uh Moravia you said I gave you a message the other day on your little Instagram you look like rub you’re always a beast but this is what I want to say because you’re such a nice guy with this Peter Young this guy yeah you’re a nice guy but this is bigger this is bigger listen we know that life is pressure we know fighting is pressure it’s pressure so I’m not putting more pressure on you but this did he freeze or is he just really oh no he’s okay yeah he’s driving Rob concentrate on your driving as I go nuts no I’m I’m not I’m not driving actually he’s a passenger yeah is that your uh is that Jake the uh Jake yeah what’s up bro what’s up how you doing interview Jay good to see you bro Jake’s one of the crew so anyway marab what does this this is this this is bigger than just your regular fight I hate to say it but I’m only saying it because I know you are up to the challenge this is you have your whole country yes behind you I know that little interaction with you guys when he’s like oh yeah he’s trying to touch your muscles and you’re being polite but they gotta understand all these Russians gotta understand don’t mistake niceness the weakness marab and you’re bringing the fire you’re bringing the fire bro thank you thank you Matt thank you yeah this is not only just regular fight this is bigger than fight you know uh it’s uh it’s quite um you know like Russia has occupied my country and I have to fight for my people too you know it’s like um nothing personal like I mean it’s it’s it’s I mean it’s we we want to know this is like Russia and Georgia and this is spite I have to I have to fight hard I have to win and make my people uh proud and my team and uh everybody else we’ve been training hard so and then we want to prove we are better than him and the big opportunity and then he’s yeah he’s um he’s he’s a good fighter but stupid [Laughter] I gotta make him he he was taking no rules you know and he when he meet my friend aljo to the you know to the head so and yeah exactly like whatever so you mentioned Matt too when I met him in Abu Dhabi he was like yeah he was he was disrespecting me so happy yeah and he’s lost three he’s lost three out of four fights so I’m wondering if he’s trying to get his own confidence up uh or present a strong front so what would you tell if you if you were purion’s coach and you have a guy like marab who just does everything well and never gets tired uh what would you tell him how would you tell Pierre young to deal with a guy like murab jump to go first I just first I guess I gotta say it was worth the price of admission just to watch Matt getting in his ass and get him all Brown and get him going Matt giving him that coaching all the way from New York baby building them from from scratch uh let me just let me say this everybody knows Rob’s got a gas tank and the guy’s a hammer you know and Matt has told me this Ray Longo told me this as well about how Murad pushes and pushes and pushes and we see it in his fights I mean he’s he’s got an unbreakable attitude and an unbreakable will and uh he’s gonna have to use that gas tank and try to be physical with Peter Young I mean Peter is known as being physical but he’s shown as aljo’s shown you know he’s he’s shown he’s susceptible to takedowns he’s susceptible to Pace um but sometimes he shows up really really sharp to defend the wrestling and sometimes he doesn’t so I think that’s really what it’s going to come down to and I’m sure morav is is uh very well equipped to handle it now that Matt has officially made it a political uh fight as well Georgia versus Russia I mean there’s a whole different angle there that I wasn’t really thinking about but that’s true too can I just throw in there that I feel and I mean this it’s not that he’s a better fighter than aljo but style wise style wise I believe this is even a worst matchup for pdon versus Murad than it is versaldia I I mean that Star Wars now look but Rob’s not gonna stop coming after him so if they if he and also murab’s shown that he could take a shot that would knock other people dead and still come back and win a fight like he did with Marlon Mirage you understand you know so I don’t believe that that um Peter yon for anybody with the intensity that murab has because there’s not a lot of guy that guys that have that and that’s that’s a skill in itself the endurance if you go up and down up and down up and down dude that’s that’s that’s insane you know what I mean and then there’s guys like Jose Aldo who are just experts would take it again uh taking a with the takedown defense and they’re hard that one Jose Aldo is probably the worst matchup in the whole division first murab and Murad got it done with that former Champion Legend So I’m just saying and another thing let me just say at this really quick is pdon is getting comfortable now hear me out with making excuses for his losses oh I’m Gonna Leave the UFC doesn’t like me to that’s it kind of Brian you got to get this done aljo beat you stop crying about that you know what I mean so anytime the guy loses who else did he lose to without he was Sean O’Malley’s Split Decision I’ll just split decision and disqualification oh man so what happens when Rob beats oh the UFC doesn’t like me that you cocky little Russian do you think let me ask you guys does it psychologically with a fighter when you have fights like that two split decisions in a row and then you can convince yourself you won but you actually lost at a disqualification does that do anything psychologically to a fighter that makes that makes him either more dangerous or more likely to make a mistake do you think I think more dangerous for me like like when I have like um uh my my I lost my first two fights in UFC uh yeah and uh it makes me motivate and uh when I come back I come back more smart and I because I live judges hand and like and next time I make sure I take people down I give them big hug and I pick them up and make sure like I don’t live judge a sense of I’m sure he will come more strong more smart and actually for this fight I think he pushed for this by he asked uh UFC and Shasha before this fight but and now uh so I gotta like he said you know I gotta I gotta win this fight I gotta I gotta make him humble and uh yeah go from there uh how’s John Wood doing I know you’re working a lot already he did yeah he he did the surgery on his uh right shoulder and then yeah like he can uh like he hold me pets uh like first time I hit one hand but yeah otherwise yeah it’s good you know I’ve been training here with a lot of a lot of guys a lot of bodies which is good you know like uh I have a lot of many many Chinese partners because like a lot of guys coming here ufcpi then other gyms like Syndicate action and uh and uh yeah I’ve been I’ve been inspiring you know I’ve been I like you know like spotting and uh uh like real real like challenge you know challenges I’m gonna say like other than say George Saint Pierre who was a master at it that John danherbs would call The Art of the shoot box that’s basically what we call fit the floor closing the distance and getting it down without getting uh knocked out or hit that much murab is up there with like Saint Pierre with that as far as his timing like I see murab and Longo has also go with guys who are better wrestlers and they do straight up wrestling and the guy might do better than him yes I remember this there’s a I’m not going to name out the guy but I remember long ago goes now look he goes look the other day he told me this was during a sparring session he goes he goes no he’s gonna spawn with this wrestling kid because the other day they did wrestling the kid was all over murab he goes watch this they put the gloves on they go to spar remember if you you wouldn’t believe it it’s a different MMA wrestling and the timing of the art of the Striking to the shooting to the clinch to the takedown it’s a it’s a it’s a whole different thing so it’s like the same guy that gave him Rob some problems or fits with just the straight up wrestling we added in the strikes the timing was just beautiful and you wouldn’t have believed it the guy was like the guy was taking extra time between rounds it was great so I mean listen man pack a lunch PD on it’s gonna be a long night and how good is his uh cardio Yawn is he is he is he known to have uh cardio that’s special or is he’s more than just the average cardio he’s went he’s went five rounds before I mean I think that Rob Rob was in the corner right and Rob you were in the corner for one of those fights with Alex yes yes so marab has had a close-up view at him and his gas tank and really the big question is Jim back to what you said is what is he going to do off that loss is he going to change his training up is he gonna you know was he happy with the Sean O’Malley fight did he feel like he performed at the level he should or is he gonna he obviously needs to incorporate more wrestling I think we know what Rob is about I mean we know he’s going to punch but we know he’s going to wrestle so what changes has Peter yawn made and will he be the best version of himself or will he be the same version that’s the real question yeah and marab just uh said something about not wanting to leave it in the judge’s hands so that does make you more aggressive um but I also wonder does it make you susceptible to making a mistake because you’re afraid of it going to the judge’s hands if you’ve dropped two straight split decisions could it have that little tinge of effect on you were you you’re afraid of leaving it to that and you wind up doing something uh you shouldn’t do yeah so like this fight will be I mean I’m I I realize of course this fight will be a tough fight and now like I don’t think it will be one side but will be war and we’ll be fight of the night for sure you know like now I’m gonna show everyone my striking not only wrestling despite will be like a good fight and we’ll be fight on the night I believe and we will be people will enjoy watch this fight you know Peter always brings in you know he always fights hard and you know like last couple fights I try to I keep a smart but now this time it’s gonna be warm and I’m ready for this war and uh yeah I know maybe it can be classified but I’m winning for sure I’m gonna do everything for me we all know he’s um he’s even coming better in uh fourth round and fifth round but I’m ready I’m ready for it and um I’m gonna break him you know like like Matt said I’m gonna keep pushing keep taking down keep um you know whatever just throw punches and mix it up that’s the main 11 uh the main event March the 11th um Rob look we’ll talk to you again hopefully right before that fight but if not we’ll talk to you right after hopefully you get another win and uh good luck buddy thank you so much guys thank you for having me thanks for giving us a few minutes we appreciate it first have a good day guys thanks foreign and how I think a lot of guys wanted to avoid him if they could um and now that he’s uh I think he’s the third there’s so many good fights for him um you know he hasn’t fought Sam heck and he has in Fort Marlin very he hasn’t fought uh O’Malley like there’s a lot of interesting non-title fights for barabena so he’s got a good run ahead of him if he gets through this fight can I add that if you look at his career in the UFC he literally could be undefeated yeah now for that fight and listen that Frankie uh signs was a nice kid and very nice kid very good wrestler he didn’t win that fight I don’t give a I mean I’m not that I won’t watch the fight tell me the guy won I think Morad beat the record for takedowns in that fight but and Rob is coming off a flu but he won that fight but you know they gave him an L but you could easily give that to murab and then there was the fight with Ricky Simone where at the Bell like Murad was like yeah like like in like in and out of Consciousness and they but he made it to the Bell the ref didn’t break it up so it’s a lesson it’s controversy there so you it’s not like all right he’s got two Wells by a knockout and a he went to sleep and he did it I don’t know man it’s you could make a case for this guy being undefeated in there so let me let me let me say something all-time high yeah dude Matt is such a coach I mean he has just been going on we got all the accolades now he’s giving me fight history he’s giving me all the every little detail you know I love that’s why I like doing the shows as I see the coaching you and all the love and the fire that you have and that’s why we connect man and and I know how much you care so it’s uh you know a guy like marab it’s even more so you know what I mean it’s even more so and I like that I you know what I liked and I know we’re gonna get into the fights now sure uh with Vulcan oski I love how those that that team’s so tight that city boxing you know he saw his his friends in the audience like with all the fighters that’s real the dad hooker and all them support that guys can we look can we delve into that fight real quick because what a fight huh what are you guys thoughts on the fight and I’ll tell you oh yeah I you know I did the UFC breakdown for it and I looked at all the Angles and um and you know I thought it was going to be a very competitive fight I I I thought Volk was going to find a way to to be competitive in the grappling because he’s just such a winner and he’s such a competitor and uh people were kind of talking like oh no he’s gonna get taken down it’s going to be over this out it’s like man we’re always so quick to discredit people and vulcanovsky showed what determination and hard work and and setting that set in the bar as high as you can uh is and I mean look the guy lost the fight but he won he won the world in a lot of ways and and and and to piggyback off that I feel bad for Islam Islam fought a beautiful fight Islam showed aside he outstruck volkanovsky with the significant strikes landed to me the ones I was watching as far as you know every time he would hit Valk would acknowledge Him like damn man you tricked me man that was a good shot Islam was sliding around on the outside and he was landing on bulk and I’ve never seen Valk not be able to solve a puzzle but he wasn’t expecting the Striking to be so diverse in the movement to be what it was and so it was awesome to see that out of Islam and then again it was awesome to see how extraordinary bulk was in the later rounds his will uh just everything the energy the whole fight it was it was it made me happy to see both of them shine because they both deserve it it just disappoints me that uh that Islam is getting kind of on right everyone’s like oh you suck you’re not the pound for pound like Islam sucks it’s like dude he just fought the guy that was the best fighter in the world the pound for pound number one he took a risk I mean I don’t care what you say um you know he took a risk and early in his his championship campaign and and I think he deserves a lot of credit because he didn’t win the way that we thought he was going to win right so I just I I I think they both come out of that 20 points higher in their leg Legacy and their status and the respect level they should be shown I just wish it was across the board volk’s definitely getting it but Islam deserves it as well let me ask you too because I felt the same way like I felt like uh makachev threw a lot more significant strikes but and again the numbers don’t always tell the tale as as you saw it but they’re saying that volkanovsky had him 164 to 95. uh I’m sorry in in 1757 and significant and the only thing they could have counted those ground and pound strikes in the last minute they might have racked up 20 or 30 or 40. okay and counted those are significant you know it’s like you said Jim you can’t look we know what the we’re talking about okay and and this thing about everybody being an expert and this and that we’ve been doing this since the beginning you know and uh everyone that watched that fight uh you know I think most people had it scored for Islam and I think it was a very close fight I think volcanovsky closed the distance but I think the Striking the Striking and the cage control from Islam was enough you know the fourth round he had the body triangle I just thought it was enough I thought it was 3-2 either way either way we could say vulcanovski won the fight uh vulcanovski did fantastic but I think that was more people so shocked of how he did number one so shocked that he hung on the ground that they start kind of changing it’s different to say wow he did great versus hey he won and I think that guy kind of Lost in Translation a little bit and then I think then then people get mad at the winner and start on them when it’s like can’t we just celebrate both guys can we stop being so negative it as an MMA fan base and a culture can we stop it already can we just celebrate both guys being great I mean that was a win for everybody it was historic everybody should be celebrated coming out of that situation but uh that’s really how I see it those City kickboxing guys love to to try to go up uh and wait and take the next belt like there really is a risk-taking attitude there like with adasanya fighting blahovich uh going up and wait and taking his first loss doing that by decision and then uh volkanovsky uh how many fights in a row he had won I think you know only lost one fight up until that point taking a huge risk going up to fight mikachu yeah that was such a great fight but I agree I think Islam one three to two yeah I thought so they got they got huge nuts mate anyway yeah my thing is this Jimmy I feel I you know Islam I felt one if you if you brought them round the round I even went back and watched that first round yeah and you could say if that is the thing they both hurt each other with a Punch If yeah if bulk vulcanovski heard him with the punch and let’s say Islam still got the takedown but didn’t really do much with it besides the back take and he’s doing the old Shaka maybe give that round to Volk but because before that they both landed some good shots yeah they both landed one shot that they both felt yeah and then you add in he dropped he dropped him too yeah he dropped the ball and so I mean you can’t lie like as much as you want to lose as much as you want to root for the underdog and the whole experience you when you go back and you watch it he dropped bulk and then he had the control so there’s one he got the he got the body triangle and held that whole thing and the fourth I mean those are two rounds right there so it’s like you gotta find three rounds in the next that vulk one out of those other three and I just don’t see it I think three and five he definitely won he finished strong which is a huge piece of what we do finish strong look great and Islam was like Hey I mean I’m chilling right here I don’t want to take a risk it was an awesome thing for both I was so happy to see both sides represent so well and I think that’s really what we take from it I mean I think they both deserve massive respect like Sarah said huge balls on both these guys for doing that I mean they really went for it let me add something in here and now this is I might now this is a little bit more of me just kind of stick it up from my art I love Jujitsu now listen I’m wearing I love Jiu Jitsu if anybody’s listening I just showed it on screen now listen there’s always that there’s that shirt that the Dage Fanny guys love to wear if was easy it’d be called jiu jitsu okay very funny my thing is this volcanowski’s getting ready for this biggest fight of his life one of the best Grapplers on MMA grapples on the planet he just plays he just saw yes he’s working with Craig Jones Craig Jones is arguably number two in the world he’s up there you know he he you know Gordon Ryan is the best in the submission game in the Jiu Jitsu game right now no ghee but Craig Jones is up there up there up there so good so my thing is this you know if let’s say volkanoski worked with a world-class guy because he’s fighting a guy that’s not going to do the same thing although has a great uh offensive uh onslaught of uh techniques you know they gotta they uh they’re very aggressive with their wrestling they don’t like being on bottom they like being on top and uh they’re very good positional Jiu Jitsu Brazilian Jiu Jitsu man good defense did the defense in Jujitsu is is night and day I mean that is basically survive the fight first but you want to go right down to it and then you and then you survive and then you finish if you want to go into philosophy of the Jiu Jitsu Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so he made the right choice by getting a jiu jitsu expert to help him in his fight instead of Graham and Sid to come down with the shorts on and gate no it’s not happening he got the right guy for the job said I don’t know ah listen he got the right guy for the job Craig Jones deserves a lot of credit man what I’ll piggyback off of what Matt said and bulk said it too man when he goes back to featherweight because he’s got all these new skills here he’s training with guys that are bigger than him yeah stronger than him and and he showed he was strong he showed he was strong as hell at lightweight against a very strong lightweight so all that stuff he was saying about I’m strong man I’m I’m ready I’m physical I’m explosive it all was true so he’s going to be even that much more physical and explosive when he goes back to featherweight did you see in the corner I think it was after round one when they had they said something to to volkanovsky he’s not strong like which again I’m sure because you have is strong but he didn’t seem to be too worried about yeah uh Islam’s strength good point 100 you’re right Jim and I’ve I’ve mentioned this before the fight even though I’ll take this one on the chin happily you know uh where I thought I mean Islam I’m so impressed in all his prior fights with his takedown ability and his control submitting guys bigger and powerful than volcanowski I mean arguably is uh like Drew Dober is a beast yeah can you take these guys down for more in this one he’s getting uh Dan hooker who’s uh who um volcanovski could probably run between his legs the guys don’t talk I mean he got him down he got him in a Kimura in the first round you like that Jimmy yeah that’s a speed bag anyway uh my thing is his Jimmy you ever seen that episode of Gilligan when he was running through the Giants legs no but I hate Gilligan Jimmy I hate him okay uh I grew up on that and I used to have fantasies of Ginger and and uh Marianne yeah I just wanted to Mrs Howell I thought you’re gonna say Mr House okay listen so where was I bring me back please you were talking about um uh fighting Dan hooker and how tall Dan hooker is compared to moganovski what look out of all my fights it might surprise you Jimmy I only fought one gentleman that was shorter than me to your surprise okay that was I even Ivan men’s guitar David was Ivan was great he was so great uh and he was shorter than me and I remember being on top of him in half guard about the past and all of a sudden boom he jumps up his feet and I got like a seat belt with him like he was very good at getting to his feet I won the fight Jimmy but of course she did the point is I had no doubt he’s got his back trying to choke him he had no neck and he was hitting me going Sammy sorry he was a very nice guy but uh so I know what it’s like and I said this before I’m like that might pose a problem when you’re fighting a story there’s the limbs are smaller man yeah sometimes I wanna I wanna challenge myself I’ll jump on like one of the smaller bird people in the school or even like uh if I’m rolling one of the girls who’s smaller than me like I try to get her in just arm locks without using because they got these little arms and you know what I mean so they got to try to play really tight to them and I don’t know but uh all I know is vulcanovski man you could make a case that he won the fight I felt he lost it because of the if you go round the round he did lose if we talked about Pride earlier if it was a different um uh criteria for ruling where in Pride doesn’t matter how you start it’s how you finish they rule like a real like a street fight so they would have gave it to him for sure because he ended strong and that’s uh but it isn’t Pride it’s the UFC round by round I believe he lost you know even though he’s that got to give him that fifth round though holy that was that was and that’s what really got everybody on their feet it was amazing how active he was too on his back just throwing punches back and when you look at his face he didn’t look concerned like it was crazy to have uh to be wrapped up by Islam and he did not look concerned and he had said he was unchokable I guess after the Ortega fight he goes I feel like I’m unchokable and I think he really believed that because he didn’t seem to be concerned there was no Panic uh he handled that really well even when he was in those bad positions in the fourth I see him I seen him only because I’ve been practicing it a lot lately safe notes you never as a martial artist especially nowadays you never stop adding to the Arsenal you know no So lately I’ve been practicing my hand assist method when somebody’s got a body triangle on me I used to be such a barrel they couldn’t get those legs as a triangle so I used to not worry about it but now there’s ways to get rid of that body triangle and it’s I see him trying to do it I’ve seen Volk trying to get the leg that’s on top between his legs and it I was shocked I’m like it’s very if you know what you’re looking for you you’d be like oh wow he’s trying to do the proper Escape so that wasn’t just him all right I have no neck I’m a short guy I’m just gonna go like this I got turtle on the shell he was looking to do the proper escapes again he’s going with one of the best in the world with control it goes back to his training for this thing look at the size of Craig Jones that’s that’s what that’s what that that’s what I’m saying to to piggyback off of that I thought Matt what Matt said I mean you think Islam doesn’t have a variety of short jokes uh raking the face all kinds of little tricks and he was trying to position himself as you saw in the back putting his head and switching his arms and Volk was wise to all of it man and there’s a lot to be said for that because like Matt alluded to earlier uh Dan hooker hadn’t been submitted like that you know Drew Dover these guys I mean they got taken down and I mean they just got destroyed he manhandled them and it wasn’t even close Bobby green as well you know he took Bobby green down and he just it was it was over I mean he ran over him so these are guys that have fought in UFC that are tough guys that are top 15 to top 25 all the time right like these are guys that have been in the top have been ranked and they’re always they’re tough they’re guys they’re career guys and the way Islam ran over them at 55 is what gave everybody you know there’s no way that a smaller guy but again everybody discounted the will and the Heart of volkanovsky the will to be great right the will to be better than everybody else and I he was very disappointed in the cage and you could see it in his emotion it wasn’t that he thought he won per se because in the moment I think he I think he might have agreed with what we’re saying I saw that he tweeted and said he thought he had won but he didn’t he wasn’t like that’s I won he was just disappointed that he didn’t achieve his goal you could see what kind of a winner he was he was really truly disheartened that he did not achieve that that goal he expected to win that fight I mean you could see it in the end too sometimes you know I’m getting ready to do Jon Jones’s breakdown and I just looked at the the Dom Ray’s Jon Jones fight and everybody says you know how Dom Reyes won and how he won but Dom Ray survived those last couple rounds as John really put the heat on him and after the fight was over Dom didn’t do much in the fifth but he was just so happy he had made it to the end of the fight you could see that in people sometimes they’re satisfied with making it to the end with the great right and it’s understandable Alex was not satisfied he was truly disappointed that he didn’t win that fight and it shows you it’s a look in the mindset of greatness and the expectation and I don’t think he’s going to take that as as a charity win like oh well I showed everybody I think he’s going to be truly disappointed I think it’s a mark he really thought he was going to hit that he missed and I think he’s going to go try that something like that again before he retires to try to take another stab at that accomplishment he’s not looking for a moral Victory he’s not looking for a moral Victory he wants to win he wants to win he wants that greatness and he’s driven by that and his work ethic if he can get that much better you know to what Matt’s point was there’s no way he can get that much better in a short period of time right where he could stop someone like Islam well he obviously showed he could and now that he knows how to train that way he’s going to be using that as an offense taking people down beating him up who knows what other things he’s going to be utilizing because if he’s that strong and that physical and his grappling’s gotten that much better look out featherweights I mean look out foreign and there’s two more fights I think we should cover one of them you just mentioned I I would like to ask your opinion on gone against Jones uh because Jones is important three years uh what what do you expect out of this um and I I think God is a tougher fight for him than even a guy like Stipe would be just because of the movement but uh do you think about it you nailed it you nailed it Jim the reality is no one’s talking about God is a giant version in a lot of ways of John he throws the front teeth to the knee right those stabbing teeth to the knee he’s awesome and Brilliant in the clinch with the knees and the elbows off the break John is the master of elbows I mean he’s he is the guy you know that really you know orchestrated him in a level we had not seen the spinning kicks the jump kicks the flying knees they both do the same thing they both fight ambidextrously and the real question here is Cyril is finally finding someone longer than him you know I think he’s 81 or something like that yeah giant guy John is 84 and a half so serial doesn’t have that the length advantage that he usually uh enjoys in this matchup can he utilize the speed in the movement to get to John and the big question is can John conversely is he strong enough at heavyweight to manhandle a guy like Cyril we haven’t seen John in such a long time we don’t know what he looks like we don’t know what his strength level is and we don’t know what his ability to execute at that that body size and that body mass is so real interesting real intriguing matchup I can’t wait to see it could you guys need me a fighter that took down double champ DC Don Jones did it Jimmy John Jones took down D.C DC if you remember they call him the champion for a reason yeah he’s quite a heavyweight and look at his wrestling credentials yeah this is the thing that I’m screaming from a mountain dog Jon Jones Is Gonna Make This I know it’s an MMA match look at one of his look at one of his look at his fight with Quentin Jackson and one round ended when he shot him for a double had his hand on there head underneath the crotch like threw him over his shoulder Jon Jones could do amazing things so Jon Jones look at the second fight with him and um the Swedish uh look at that second fight when he added in a nice well-timed takedown I believe that should be the game plan yeah he is gonna strangle him that’s what I feel I feel it in my bones no punishment I think the thing about it is and and you know you cannot deny it John’s you know Juco National Champion he’s got the grappling credentials but he also is well-rounded you know I mean when he strangled Machida I mean he’ll find the neck he’ll find these positions because of the leverage and the length exactly and also the leg length on the hooks the leg length on the hooks and The Leverage points that John creates on the ground is different from almost anybody else because he’s so long but yet he’s strong right you got a guy like volkoff he’s a striker he’s not a wrestler that link we’ve never seen that kind of length in that level of a wrestler and I think that that’s really what it comes down to can he throw those long legs in you know uh get that half Nelson control and can he just pound away on on on Cyril I mean it’s a real possibility it really is do you you think they fight do you think that Jones pushes the action trying to cut the cage a little bit uh to keep Cyril from moving around how do you who do you see pushing it yeah I mean he’s absolutely going to have to you know push the pace on him you know if you watch his fights um he likes to dictate cut off the cage he’ll switch stances he can be very very aggressive John he can also Counter Strike he’s got an unbelievable fight IQ I mean it’s got to be one of the you know the best fight IQs that we’ve ever seen inside the Octagon along with the physical gifts and I mean he just adjusts as the fight goes on but I think Matt said it you know I mean look we cannot not talk about Francis manhandling Cyril I mean Francis manhandled Cyril in those spots and uh you know you know John’s studying that tape you know he saw it you know he’s going to try to take him there in the later rounds if he goes there and and uh you know Francis is huge and and a badass dude but he’s not Jon Jones as far as the grappling creds go that was kind of the first time we saw Francis employ that strategy and he did it successfully but you know these are this is a much lower tier of grappling skill than we see with Jon Jones so if Cyril couldn’t stop that you know I mean and John has the strength now that we see that’s the only X Factor is he’s strong enough which he probably you know he probably is I mean the guy’s been getting big for a long time he teased about this 10 years ago so uh you know he’s definitely cereal cannot allow him to take him down and start you know posting and Landing those elbows and and that ground and pound because it’s devastating when we talk about you know the physical aspects and what tools they have but that smart thing you brought up to fight IQ let’s talk of lack of it let’s talk about getting to the fifth round getting exactly where you need to be and then making a a big mistake by laying down with a leg now you could say well get a good chance how many times in class unless he’s literally ripping legs off everything in practice hey did he just did he ever did he I want to know if he’s because I know he got it before in a match he sat back with a leg it’s almost like fifth round yeah but you’re right fifth round I mean you bring it up I mean Matt you bring it up and it’s a it’s a great point and a very very important point that we’ll also tie into the fact that he only has 10 fights you know now here he is trying to fight the greatest of all time this guy’s got 16 this is his 16th championship fight I think you think he’s got 15 16 fights this guy’s got more championship fights then Cyril has fights so I mean like you’re talking about this is a big deal and you know Matt’s not wrong you know I mean if the guy the guy went for a leg if he stays on top who knows maybe he wins that title but we’ve got to look at the grappling exchanges we have to look at you know where he made mistakes and where he was weak in that fight that fight was not long ago Tai did not pose that threat but we don’t know if he’s cleaned that up and he’s gonna have to clean it up dramatically when he’s fighting you know one of the greatest fighters of all time thank you that’s how it happens man I mean you know how many backfits I had to take before I smartened up with some Hallelujah like sometimes you learn by just like I guarantee I mean if zero Dawn is on top of somebody again I’d be very shocked if you lay down with that leg again you’re right you’re right you’re right is Cyril gonna southpaw elicit as an orthodox but he fights softball and and you bring up another good point these guys are ambidextrous man you know I’ve been watching film on them for the last you know freaking three weeks and these guys are ambidextrous they fight they both fight both sides they’re very good at touching and tapping and getting the distance management they get their distance then they kick right they set their whole offensive um attacks and and techniques up off of kicks using the range and finding the range and they’re both very elusive I mean John is very good at not getting hit either that’s why when he gets cracked everyone’s like oh wow he took a big shot because we haven’t ever really seen John you know get dropped or get hurt he’s very good at rolling with the shot switching sides moving grabbing crashing in and clinching so they really are both good at the same things on the feet but it’s the grappling is exchanges that really is is going to tell us you know where this fight goes and and John’s experience there I mean it’s it’s we’re definitely going to be in in for a a very interesting night and I think we’ll tell be able to tell um after the first grappling has changed you know if he gets zero down and Cyril can’t get up then yeah can I can I throw in there before it gets too late we have a new featherweight interim title holder and yaira Rodriguez taking out Josh Emmett with a beautiful triangle I loved Jujitsu I just come on man that was so cool it was I mean because yeah what I love about just the submissions and because Josh you’re hitting that guy with a bat he’s coming after you you know what I mean you stopped that blood flow to the brain you got to say uncle and Yaya Rodriguez man what a fun fight because he was he was crafty he’s on the outside his kicks he’s using his kicks once in a while Josh Edward come through with a Haymaker some of them would just miss him and you’re like if that lands that’s a problem so it was one of those seed fights it wasn’t the longest night but it was well was that the second round the first round second and you know it’s funny it’s funny because when I look at yair’s progression from the Frankie Edgar fight and he got taken down over and over again controlled and couldn’t get up and Frankie you know is not a big guy so now these years these fight these years later now all these fights later for him to get with a tank Josh Emmett is a tank of a man right for him to handle the physicality be that aggressive on the feet he was so aggressive on the feet yair I mean with the kicks and the attacks and he kept switching and going and he wasn’t sitting back like I don’t want to get taken down I don’t want to get hit he was just going he was dealing with adversity while attacking the whole time and then you just saw him when he hit the ground he was hitting him with the hammer fist in the elbows and he was looking for the triangle at the end of the first round to lock on and then he was hitting him with that position and he was so confident on the ground when he got to he was just like grabbing he was just looking for it I mean Michael Bisping uh called it out he’s like he’s got to watch out for the triangles Biz being saw it you know well before and then for you to get triangled like that on top Matt knows this it’s not easy to do that at that level in the UFC in a second round like he had hurt Josh so bad with the stand up and the kicks and then he would load up and hit him after he would kick him and then Josh would come in he would punch him while he was coming in he had him so damaged that he was so worn out I mean it was done that was a tight triangle game over I mean it was impressive plus he was winning on bottom from the strikes yeah he arguably say that even though he got on top of uh a year yeah he was striking with elbows and then punching from the bottom those elbows every time I see that I cringe man when I fought GSP and I said this before he took me down one of the things was when he keeps his head tight I’m like man I’m gonna I never really used my elbows like this I’m gonna push up and I’m gonna get him I remember I did that I told you this before Jimmy I pushed up his head I got him my old nerve done my arm felt like it was like putting me feel my extreme Dead Hand I had a I still if I like lean on it too much or something my ulnar nerve I get the weird tinglies really quick but anyway I got a little thump I got like dull elbows I don’t got no Kenny Florian or Yaya Rodriguez elbows yeah yeah I wish I was off his elbows were I mean he was so confident and calm and that goes to the next thing you know him and bulk I mean two Mexican Champions that’s right uh two Mexican Champions and and our guy Brandon Moreno God bless him you gotta love that kid yeah and now yayir uh I mean man you’ve got you know you got Brandon Undisputed now yeah you’re an interim and uh Mexico man Mexico MMA shout out to uh Mike Valley um he is a great coach uh he’s got years was yeah you’re a striking coach for this fight um I think he deserves a lot of credit he’s a little bit of an unheralded guy but you saw the brothers yeah is that Frankie’s cousin at all I don’t think so thank you Sally oh what a night December back in 63. I’m safe I feel comfortable with you now so I can sing to you thank you Jimmy always leaves when I sing sorry about that Frankie Valli reference that’s pretty easy yeah I think that’s Italian and Mexican I think we’re getting the crossover here but maybe maybe there’s a maybe there’s a distant relative there somewhere is there any uh sorry Matt is there any uh time frame on uh Moreno pantosha you know there isn’t I mean we we know that you know we’ve spoken about this we know pantos is you know next he deserves the shot um but you know if the Brandon’s Brandon’s down man Brandon’s down to do it and and in Vegas um and Brandon’s down to do it in Mexico City so Brandon is is a yes sir point me in that direction type of guy man I mean he just and uh he never runs from a challenge and I mean I think he looks looks forward to those challenges and I think they make him better and I think you saw that in the figure fight I mean um I feel like Brandon is really kind of combing to his own at 29 to 30 years old now that’s kind of like when you really start to grow up and I just feel like that he’s really maturing as an athlete so that’s going to be a challenge pantosia is a is a great fighter uh you know and I know they have history but I don’t think Brandon is that guy anymore and I think we saw that change in the last fight you know him and figgy had three close fights the last fight wasn’t close at all I mean Brandon controlled it from start to finish using his intelligence and his discipline and and I think we’re going to see more of that from him I was thinking about Brandon the other day because uh I brought my kids to the old Roosevelt Field mall and my youngest and I was super into Legos now I know his parents listening and in this age of iPads and my kids had died of roadblocks into this and that they’re always Legos I’ve never played as a kid and I know Brandon still a lot of adults like it too what a great toy for kids like because Jimmy I know Jimmy Jimmy listen I loved Lego when I was a kid I never played as a kid maybe well I I probably couldn’t put it together but the point is come on my youngest like I’m looking at the stuff she’s building she looks at a little thing and I go well that must be from your No-No her grandfather because he could build a house out of anything I mean I can’t hang it now my wife’s the handyman here but my point is this what a great boy for kids because they get some building they look at the little thing and then they’re building like oh you’ll build that out of looking at that but that’s what I’m saying Brandon Brandon people people like oh he’s a kid and oh Legos and it’s not and I’ve said this before Brandon’s an analyst I mean and you know this you can’t be an analyst an MMA real-time analyst and not be sharp as a whip he’s a champion now a a multiple time Champion an Undisputed Champion the kid is very very smart and I think he kind of has that quiet polite demeanor he’s very respect respecting and nice but he’s a lion and on the inside I mean I I see that in him and I love that about him he’s got a balance there in life as a father and a family man but man when you get when you get him in those rounds and uh I mean I’ve got the shirt on right here I got to give a shout out to my guy Capital boxing in Vegas this is uh Brandon’s boxing coach but I mean the amount of grind that these guys were doing in Camp you know uh uh the boxing rounds the rounds we were doing at the pi I mean I’m talking about we were going to war and it wasn’t it wasn’t perfect we had all kinds of issues and injuries and I’ve seen I saw Brandon Walk Through the Fire Man over and over again and Matt knows this to be a champion you got to have that grit and tenacity so I think that all the other stuff the sweet stuff I think it’s just his balance man and and I I find that to be uh pretty awesome that he’s a balanced guy and I think that Fighters need that balance right I mean they need to find a balance they need to find other things uh that complete them and it can’t just be focused on MMA but I think it shows a little bit of the genius there and we’re seeing that with guys in the commentating and all the rest there’s a lot of smart people in this Sport and uh I I love the fact that people are starting to recognize that yeah man yeah uh and by the way Jack uh Della madalina I’ll tell you right now he answered the call versus Randy Brown you know Randy Brown I see him every Tuesday night at Sarah BJJ he trains with my buddy nardu Debra with my Buddha Khan here in Long Island he’s from Brooklyn Hometown guy uh dangerous dangerous guy he was wearing sunglasses at the press conference uh Randy Brown I’m just saying Randy oh yeah yeah it wasn’t that bright now yeah yeah he’s gonna be asking for uh he’s asking for Vicente lucay isn’t he isn’t he saying he wants uh what’s safe what about the sunglasses inside something is so there’s this that coaches have we have a couple of things that we have right that we’re watching we watch fight week we’re watching our guys we’re watching the enemies we’re watching this is one of them Matt’s hit one of them you never want to see your guy feeling himself out of nowhere the guy comes in and out every week hey how you doing hey sir how you doing been fighting week all of a sudden he’s got studded diamond uh earrings and sunglasses and he’s acting off you’re like whoa whoa dude you’re throwing your mojo way off here man don’t don’t be putting that energy out there and so we always said you know just I I don’t know if what it is about sunglasses that made guys feel like maybe they’re doing better figgy was wearing them too so maybe Matt’s on to something but you don’t want to see your guy trying to be something he’s not you know and maybe Randy is that guy I don’t know him personally but you don’t want to see your the hype building up you want to see your athlete just relaxed in his Natural State you know not worried about who’s who’s there who’s not there being able to fight like they do in the gym and I’ll tell you what I know that Matt doesn’t let no guys come in the gym with sunglasses on I mean when guys come when guys come in my gym with sunglasses on I go you’re inside now you know that right you’re inside and it’s not the fighters it could just be students even you know so I could have been a mask fear do you think guys do that because it’s almost like it’s a way of of masking an emotion or something or do you think it’s purely to look cool you know listen I understand your point if you’re at a poker table you don’t want to see nothing but it’s not I I would say this if there is guys with anxiety it could help with any kind of anxiety whenever you have anxiety you have sunglasses on it could help with that but I don’t think that’s it I think it’s guys just trying to beat a guy look a certain way yeah it’s not that cool if you’re that guy if you’re that guy like Connor he’s that guy right like like Conor McGregor that’s that’s who he is he was that way from day one he’s that way now you just got to be true to whoever you are like if that’s if that’s who the athlete is that’s who they are but when you see a lot of changing you could tell they’re trying to find the mental their mental bearings that’s never good because like I said for them to be efficient you want them to be relaxed and if they’re mentally not relaxed that’s not a good sign so it’s interesting Matt’s always bringing up these little tidbits but there’s really a lot to them who’s the most relaxed guy uh you can think of that that you’ve coached no matter what the situation was just kind of even killed I would probably say Jeff Neal I mean uh Jeff Neal I mean let me tell you something I’ve never seen Jeff Neal get really mad uh and in my whole life and you know he’s a guy that’s dealt with adversity and had a lot of you know well-documented hardships he’s always even Keel man and even when I on his ass about you know we’ve had moments where I’m pushing him to win and he does he never gets like uh like ah you know he’s just like yes sir you could tell he’s looking at me like he wants to punch me in the face um right uh sometimes he does give me that look like I’m gonna I want to hit you in the face but that’s when I know I’m getting to him but he won’t ever say anything and that that look is very very rare and I mean he’s really smooth operator and uh you know I think that’s dangerous man guys like that they’re never too high never too low really really calm and they can find the the themselves in those hard moments and and just one of those guys and I mean you know Jon Jones and all these Champions they all have that um that distinction so I think it’s important for an athlete and also the one fight we did not discuss the main card is uh Justin uh uh yeah first round knockout beautiful beautiful slide back when he knew when he landed he was done the way but the way that you know Taft is a big dude and the way he just slid back and kept his eyes locked in and hit that left hand coming in that wide right it was so well done I mean he saw that and off the tape and off the film and you could just tell that he game plan for it and he just executed perfectly so you know kudos to him man I love what I got I think he came into 266 dude I love when a guy comes in at 266. my brother-in-law he’s got to cut weight to make the uh the heavyweight and uh I did like seeing uh uh back to Jack Della and madalina versus Randy Brown I like seeing them afterwards on the social media I saw them out there in a bar taking a shot it’s nice yeah it’s nice to you know break bread I would drink with the guys you fought you know I remember like yesterday doing that in uh in in Manchester when Ally Quinto for Ross Pearson I just remember being with all those English guys and we were doing shots and Ross is a cool job Ross has always been a real cool dude cool man great fight great guy yeah yeah well safe so I guess that this is it for us uh for the day but thank you again you’re always so great man and come back whatever you want we love having you on I love being on guys it’s always a pleasure anything on anything you want to plug save let’s tell everybody where you’re uh where your school is please uh no we don’t need to plug anybody no we need to yeah I want
