back to work man I’m fired up bro we just drove last week from tempy Arizona to Southbend Indi Indiana we did it in 26 hours we dropped Jordan off at school got to show y Touchdown Jesus she had never been there um so that was cool so he’s starting up my daughter’s birthday was yesterday I’ve had a great holiday but I miss you and I just realized bro watching the intro to our show you pointed your finger in my face now you know good dang well from Louisiana you cannot be doing that to people you lucky you can beat me up in real life bro that that is fighting that’s fighting work they call those fighting words hey that that’s fighting words RC coming up on the show we going to talk about some of the fights Dana White has announced we always going to predict because you know we love to predict even though we don’t predict anything right on DC and RC that was sh at the end of last year’s show as always we tap in or we Tap Out RC Honestly though I don’t think I love anybody enough to sit in the car for 26 hours with him it don’t matter how much I love my child that takes a toll on your body man and um this the good part is though my kids are old right so Jordan’s 22 it was basically like riding with your homeboy and yon was there my dad was there we made it a family thing so it was cool wow oh it was like it was like that the National Lampoon Christmas Vacation yall driving all across the country in a van that dude right here man hey do last week Conor McGregor made a crazy video where he was laughing joking going crazy talking trash about Michael Chandler so I figured why wouldn’t we have a guy that knows a couple things about talking join us to start the show CH sunnon this is the man with liners like I can’t let you get close Anderson Silva you absolutely suck I mean he is just one of the best in terms of grabbing a microphone so we figured if we gonna get a talker we gonna welcome it Uncle chill Uncle chill thanks again for joining us well thank you very much I’m pumped to be here guys and by the way you know I don’t know how much I buy that road trip like when you started saying Grandpa was there it sounded like there was a motor home involved this sounds like a very different trip okay like when an NFL guy does a road trip sounds a little bit different than my idea no see CH what you gotta understand I’m not like Daniel right Daniel’s a Pampered Pooch he had that Dana White Privilege I’m still from the I’m still from the gutter CH we had a suburban and we attached a U-Haul to it and we had me my dad my wife and the dog sure that’s what we did and we we rotated drivers based on gas stops sure chill chill D drivers you mean CH your chur switched out yeah chill chill yeah yeah chill chill chill chill yeah chill that NFL money that NFL money is a lot different than that UFC money this dude had a driver and we have seen the way NFL guys travel on their coach you might as well play for Arsenal or Manchester City with those big buses that those guys drive chill last week Conor made that video and he was talking about Michael Chandler in the weight class that they were going to fight my first thought is Michael Chandler is allowing this guy to dictate everything what was your initial thought when you saw Conor McGregor the video and then the laugh at the end the evil maniacal laugh that hey Michael Chandler this my game you’re just lucky to be a part of it well first off I must disclose to the audience okay it’s we’re citing our source here our source is Conor McGregor who might be the world’s worst Source I mean it was 4 days earlier he told the world through this same platform known as X that he was going to be boxing Manny Pacquiao next I mean right we we really can’t take Connor at his word too much but it felt different it felt very sincere when he said it the UFC didn’t conform it but they didn’t deny it there’s not tickets on sale to confirm it but there’s not tickets on sale to deny it Michael Chandler seemed like it was accurate information but I just want to tell you guys what that information was we got two pieces of the story we got the the opponent being Chandler and we’ve got the date being June 29th what we don’t have is the weight class and most importantly the rounds and the reason I tell you that I don’t know that we could expect a lot from Conor McGregor who’s returning I mean it’s one of those really tough spots for anybody particularly when you’re older and age it is record when that great going out but if you return to a three round environment which this fight is eligible for considering it’s not a world title fight you have an extremely different analysis you have a very different projection from a guy like Conor who’s known to get you out of there early and generally not win a decision three rounds changes everything and I hope that the UFC takes that under consideration I think if they’re still picking the weight class number they can also pick the round number and from a competitive standpoint it brings us something very different yeah I think the the rounds are interesting but I do believe the weight class was kind of what Drew everybody to this when Connor said he wanted to fight at 185 here’s some sound listening to Michael Chandler talk just about that I don’t care whether he wants to fight at 185 170 205 whatever it might be you got to remember he doesn’t want to fight 155 because he wants everybody to believe that he’s bigger than he is he can’t fight at one or he in his mind can’t fight at 170 because I called him out at 170 therefore I’m not doing as I told he’s doing he’s doing what I said at 170 so he had to say 185 just like he did in the intro uh scene of The Ultimate Fighter telling me it was going to be at 185 five I love the fact that Conor called his shot at the beginning of the ultimate fighter and said even after this is what we’re fighting at but for you chill what’s the most realistic weight this fight could take place I’m very confident in telling you that it’s going to be at 170 pounds I’m just suggesting for you this fight is a little bit different than most fights that Dana White would put on by example when they tried to put it on a year ago it had a very meaningful Grudge it came off the greatest marketing tool our sport has ever had known as The Ultimate Fighter right now though that appears to be a little bit more manufactured and we don’t have a contendership and we don’t have a title on the line I mean it’s one of these situations of what exactly are these boys fighting for and if they’re fight because they just want to fight then the weight class doesn’t overly matter I mean I’ve got to bring that to your attention if this starts to become a retirement fight or Conor’s last fight like there’s still a few details that are very important that we get in I understand Chandler’s stance his stance is purely I won’t let anything get in the way whatever the numbers are I don’t care just bring me this guy but he needs to be careful what he’s saying if he truly doesn’t care it’s gonna have a hard time making the audience care this fight like all fights has got to be about something and for right now I don’t know why these boys are fighting you know BR Oto made a point about this chill he said 170 because then at least it matters because at 185 you’re fighting just just to fight and it it it has to have some sort of meaning it cannot be irrelevant to the people that are watching I ask you this CH Michael Chandler I made a video on my YouTube channel and I spoke about how he is dancing to Conor McGregor’s music and how Conor McGregor is jepetto and he’s playing Pinocchio he was offended to the point that he went and commented he actually left a comment with normal people kind of almost saying something to me because he couldn’t just sit idly by anymore taking the shots is there a danger in Michael Chandler doing that taking everything that Connor says and running with it because I believe that that’s why we’re still not at this fight yet I feel if Michael Chandler would have put said okay fine I’ll move on from him they would have already fought in the Octagon yeah no I think you bring up a really good point I mean don’t forget Chandler isn’t doing this to promote something he is playing a game of Chess he does not have a signed bout agreement he hasn’t been offered a signed bout agreement as far as having a verbal and a and a and a promise he he is at that point and that’s why I’m bringing up the rounds in the weight class like this thing is not done that is my point gentlemen so when Chandler is saying this he’s just trying to box him in but Connor is very difficult he’s slippery he’s good at this I mean the video he put out he telegraphed at two days in advance said he would put it out it was pre-recorded it was pre-edited I mean all of these things are done for a very specific reason including the teas of the weight class it’s a way out if we can’t come to the agreement and you’re the one that’s flinching I win in perception I can move on there’s just a lot happening here this fight and this deal is not done maybe that’s my biggest message I’m trying to tell you you know even even though this fight doesn’t have the belt up or we’re not making it for the BMF belt it does feel like it’s for something because it’s Conor McGregor because it’s Michael Chandler and these are the sort of guys that can provide that explosion that makes people tune in but how confident are you chill that this fight actually takes place next summer yeah and R I love how you said that because I would say the same thing I’m looking for a new favorite fighter my favorite Daniel Cormier being one of them is now retired but Frankie Yer when he left I’ve got to replace him I got to tell you that because Chandler might be my favorite fighter I really enjoy watching him I enjoy listening to him I find it to be a fascinating and a good person Conor McGregor to your point RC red panty Knight is still very real that is the top box office draw in our sport but how convinced am I that these guys are actually gonna fight look they’re not licensed I can tell you that that piece of paperwork is very relevant they haven’t completed the drug testing pool I can tell you that those six months are very relevant they do not have signed bout agreements so as of right now I’m not confident that that fight is taking place on June 29th J to build off that point for our my last question before I let you go I know you’re busy jet sitting around the world but CH Conor McGregor as you said cannot be taken at his word much people have lost faith in him in him showing up if Conor McGregor doesn’t show up this time if it doesn’t happen as you are saying it’s possible is it done is it over for Conor McGregor will he have will he do so much damage by not fighting once again that people will say you know what we’re done with Conor McGregor he can go on and do whatever he wants to do in his life he’s just not going to take up our time anymore if he is the one that blinks I think will hurt him no I don’t believe it will take him that far don’t forget it was four days before he said he was going to box Pacquiao so no we we don’t necessarily need Connor to tell us the truth as much as entertain us but guys I do want to tell you this Chandler confirmed it through social media Connor did it in a re pre-recorded edited piece that he dropped two days later but these things are important because Dana White is not confirmed it when we talk about what Chandler is doing to box Connor in I’m not convinced that Connor isn’t perfectly sincere I’m not convinced that Connor isn’t trying to box the UFC in I’m not convinced that he hasn’t done this got us talking about to make them say you don’t have a main event yet you haven’t announced it when you do it’s me and Chandler because it’s gonna be too hard to run this back that’s the piece of the puzzle that nobody knows we’re all assuming it’s Connor that’s holding out Connor is saying it’s the organization that just has yet to book him of course there was lots of rules the US Fallout some moving Parts I think Connor is a lot more sincere than he gets credit for and I think he does want to do that fight with Chandler on the 29th of June listen we apprciate you can’t get that anywhere that analysis you can get that nowhere and for that gentleman you’re both welcome goodbye turkeys appreciate you brother they took over the show man he took over the freaking show I forgot I forgot RC he it’s his stick he has to hang up on us he has to hang up on us we don’t get to dismiss CH Su oh yeah that’s his thing he has to he has to hang up on us we don’t get to say bye to him he just hangs up he tells us that we were grateful to be in the presence of his greatness and then he hangs up the phone so RC we’re guessing on Connor fights that have been announced are fights in the lightweight division one being a bit surprising to me RC Arman suian is fighting Charles Ola We all thought that Charles Ola was the guy fighting for the belt next but when this fight get announced it throws in for a loop Islam is hurt they said he’s not back until July is this a great fight for Charles oliv and how excited are you to see these guys now that have hung around the top of this division finally fighting some of these younger fighters I think this is a scary fight for Charles Oliva when you’re talking about Arman suuki and and what we saw him do to banil darush dispatching him with the KO and now Charles Ola who is coming off of fighting well against benil as well we saw him do whatever he wanted to do when he wanted to get off the mat he got off the mat when he wanted to pressure him against the cage he pressured him against the cage but he’s now fighting this upand Comer who is new to the top five that has an opportunity I think with this win to put his name in the Hat as the next contender to the Championship held by Islam mahv I think it’s also strange that Justin gaii is not a part of this equation or not somehow mentioned in this to you DC is this the number one fight because we haven’t heard even though is Islam mahak is injured we haven’t heard the word interim Champion mentioned with this fight you know what’s you know what’s funny RC oh first thing you said Charles fought well against banil Arman fought well against banil banil one of the nicest guys in the world bro you just hate to become the guy that everybody like springboarding himself off of especially after you just had such a great run of fights to put yourself in that position and you get destroyed in two fights back to back just kind of sucks to be benil right now but in terms of Armen cukan he’s a very dangerous guy in the division so many people in this happens when a guy is thought to be dangerous everybody has an opinion on Islam and Arman even Dan hooker as recently as a couple weeks ago said Islam will do everything in his power not to fight Arman suian again because he’s better he’s improving he has a great matchup he has a great style for him obviously with Ola fighting cian it tells you that the champion will not be able to not fight Arman cian if he gets the job done this the vision is on the Move man and I believe that this is very telling to see Charles Olivera say I am going to fight this young upand cominging dangerous guy even though I was supposed to fight for the belt back in October it’s a great matchup and it is going to tell us if Arman is ready for Islam and if he beats Charles how could he not be the number one Contender I know my boy Justin gatei will have something to say about that because he’s the BMF Champion but I believe that when you fight Charles Oliva if he can beat Charles Oliva after bonil darush and everything else he’s done I believe the guy earns a title fight I just love what the division is doing right now uh with porier also fighting uh against uh Dustin’s fighting um the other kid uh uh Ben Ben wasan den and then uh the division’s moving and it makes it exciting but he in terms of Justin gate RC maybe it’s going to be him and Max Holloway because is how is he just not getting talked about when all these big fights are breaking but I’m saying like that that’s the thing for Justin gaii who did just win the BMF Championship that we’ve already seen in there with the Champions we saw him against khabib neorg medov we saw him against Charles Ola and he’s always seemed to be sort of A Cut Above I mean c sort of a cut below what the champion is and now if you have Arman cukan beating benil darush also now if he wins against Charles Ola who has beat gatei and porier during his championship run I think that puts am manukian in that next spot to get a shot at Islam mahak but then if you’re Justus gatei you’re sort of on the outside looking in when you put yourself in this position with a great performance against rapael FIV and then obviously the head kick that knocked out Dustin porier in the BMF matchup I think that this division once again keeps continuing to show us that it’s the top division in all of the sport in the UFC and right now it’s topheavy and we have a new a new contender in in Arman cian RC you know what you know what’s very interesting to me about the lightweights for so long we had a certain group of guys fighting each other it was Charles it was Dustin it was Justin it was benal it was Tony Ferguson at a time when he was still mixing there Dan hooker was getting those types of fights it took Islam a long time to get in that mix because nobody would fight him he kind of got to a title fight after beating Tony Ferguson because Tony fought him nobody else is really fighting him no I don’t think he fought Tony Ferguson I don’t know who Islam earned his title fight off of but he didn’t get to fight all those guys now we see something different in terms of these guys are fighting the younger guys porier is fighting sandani Arman cukan is fighting Charles ola one question is this is Arman cuki and after beating Charles Oliva ready and two how much danger is there in fighting these guys because poier is fighting sanani he’s number 12 porier is number three in in RC how much convincing do you think it took to make Charles and Dustin break out of what they’ve been doing for so long and fight these tough young upand cominging guys I would say this for for for Dustin it’s less odd to me or less interesting than it is for Charles Ola cuz with Charles Ola after beating benil darush it was sort of a foregone conclusion we would get to see him against Islam mateev and then obviously he has the injury Alexander vonavi takes his spot whereas for Dustin you just lost to Justin gatei you want to be active you want to fight we feel like we fought everyone sort of in that cluster of what we’ve known from the light weight you can’t go back and fight M Michael Chandler there’s not going to be another Conor fight you just fought J gaii B Neil has lost twice it’s sort of okay let me go show against this young dude that I still have it for Charles Ola losing to Arman suian takes you out of Championship contention you’re going to have to go take another fight and win that fight before you get another opportunity at Islam mahak and how long could that take DC with Islam being on the side for a little bit with injury he’d had to take the next fight against Arman cuki and then Charles Oliva would have to wait even till after that and have to win another fight and so I think for Charles Ola this is one of the riskiest decisions he’s made in his UFC career you know the only guy that was willing to do that before was was Justin gatei he fought Rafael FIV and we were in London together watching going wow this is amazing but now all these guys are stepping and I believe that is important for the division to be sustained as the best division in the UFC and RC it’s in Miami Florida where Dustin porier and those guys are fighting these guys are fighting in T-Mobile poier and S are fighting in Miami RC I am extending the invitation to you right now you’ve watched fights all around the world RC you’ve been to London you’ve been to Vegas go to Miami for a UFC Fight Night RC that City hosting a UFC event is a amazing dude it it never closes you can go to the fight great restaurants stay open all night the fights are fantastic The Crowd Goes Crazy it is a fantastic place to host a UFC fight night especially when you got fighters like Dustin porier on the fight card and sha Ali Cheeto Vera in the headline but R see another guy that was announced over the break was MVP MVP is going to be making his UFC debut and he’s going to fight against Kevin Holland but also Robert Whitaker is going to fight Paulo Costa we got Jeff Neil and Ian Machado gar that one’s going to have a lot of bad blood to it Gilbert Burns versus Jack Dela and then Alo is going up to fight against Calvin Kar but the one I want to focus on is Michael Venom pagee RC you know you’re a fun fighter with a lot of hype whenever you come into a wrestling gym because MVP was in Bellator he came into my Academy and all my kids were like I want to meet Michael Venom page I want a photo with Michael Venom page RC this is not you who host a show with me walking into my Academy for my kids to know this is not uh Conor McGregor or Leon Edwards or Camaro Usman this a guy that’s been fighting in Bellator that resonates because of his fighting style how excited are you to see MVP finally fight inside the UFC’s octagon I’m extremely excited I want to know if he’s going to throw punches and do dances and really give it to the people like he always did uh in Bellator and then we also saw he had the one bare knuckle fight against Mike Perry I think this is exciting to get some new blood into the UFC and what better matchup than Kevin Holland who is always exciting in the Octagon Michael Venom Paige s of have like MVP sort of has that that neighborhood Superstar feel kind of like you know the Hot Boy song with Manny fresh where even though he’s not a household name as it pertains to mixed martial arts when you’re talking about the best of the best and the Champions you can always click on YouTube or get on your social medias and there’s an MVP highlight there’s something that he did Inside the Cage that people are absolutely feing for because of the style because of the the dangers the danger he puts himself in and being himself in the fight and I think this is the perfect matchup to introduce him to the UFC audience to the UFC fans and I’m excited to see it RC you said feing on TV you said feed it on TV they can’t feed you’re from Louisiana you’re from Louisiana bad bro like bad you from Louisiana really really bad me they told me what I was supposed to do next I can’t remember now because you said feing on TV You’re such you’re such a bad host sometimes dog UFC 300 had some fights announced but we didn’t get was a main event main card all kinds of things what would you like to see as a person that’s watched this thing for a long time from the fans perspective RC like what do you want to see headline UFC 300 former champions championship fights what do you want to see when you walk into when you walk into T-Mobile at UFC I would love to see I would love to see Daniel Daniel Cormier versus Brock Lesnar I mean Michael kesta said it I am on board for this I can be in your corner DC DC could you imagine me being your corner man I would be I would be like Roger Mayweather God bless his soul I would just be like get him get him DC DC block Les try to get you punch him back DC grab him wrestle him like I would I would be given the worst instruction bro but you know what I think when you look at I would be hella nervous when you look at UFC 300 right there there has to be fights for belts and then you start to have to kind of think about who’s fighting what Strickland’s in January right January uh yep yep he’s in January next week next next week right Strickland Strickland January uh 20th and I think who else we got we got sha Ali and uh and Cheeto you know and so like inch that’s in March that’s in March right you have February right so you’re kind of dwindling down the list of people you could see I don’t know if it’s we try to get Tom Aspen back inside the octagon and have and have him fight and defend uh the interim belt I think uh look see there you go jeanu Le and Alexa Gro I would love to see that fight that would be a fight I would love to see as well but I think they need to start thinking I don’t know if this works for you DC we need to start thinking about super fights whether it’s finding fights where we can get guys who are close or who have a TR tough time making their weight to fight someone at the the in the next weight class and start sort of working around where we’re talking about names right more than what the fights mean for a division you know what’s crazy RC I was thinking as you were listing Champions well Leon Edwards is available but as much as we love Rocky does Rocky’s name resonate enough for him to headline UFC c 300 I mean UFC 200 was headlined by Amanda Nunes and Mesa Tate granted I fought Anderson Silva on there Jose Aldo fought Frankie Edgar and Brock Lesnar fought so while they were the headline Brock Lesnar headlined that fight card even from the co-main event it was supposed to be me and Jones but then Jones obviously fell out but does Leon Edwards balal Muhammad moved the needle enough to even sit a top the fight card I would say put them on there I think that J we Lee versus uh Alexa grel Leon Edward versus Bal muhammd should be on there those are two title fights that work for me but I do agree with you in this sense we need an attraction we need an attraction for that fight night I remember Brock calling me the night his fight got announced saying Merry Christmas DC because he knew we were going to sell a ton of pay-per-views he was like Merry Christmas to you and your family but it’s like we need an attraction because the moment Brock was on the card even though it was me and Jones and were on good modern America and everything else it needed a little bit more because it’s one of those big cards and you need something a little more than just title fights the event needs to feel bigger than something we see over the course of the year so I think you got to bring somebody back and unfortunately it doesn’t seem like Brock or Ronda or any of those fighters from that generation past is really nipping at the buds of the executives to say that we need uh to be fighting on that fight card yeah I think the you know you and this probably doesn’t make sense and maybe people don’t want to see it after his last fight if I’m Dana White you know I go to New Zealand and I sit in front of Israel adna and I ask him what is it going to take for you to fight Alex Pereira again like what is it going to take to get you inside that octagon like I know your last fight didn’t go how you wanted it to go you know you made the joke about 2027 what is it going to take to get you to come off of this Hiatus come off of this sabatical and make the third fight between you two men in the UFC what we headline UFC 300 with and I believe even with Izzy’s last performance that’s a fight that gets people going and honestly RC because then you could say he’s chasing a light heavyweight championship now you add another thing to it right it’s not just me and Alex for the third time I just knocked him out he knocked me out and now I’m challenging him up aweight to become a UFC two-eight champion yes now you start building enough of a story to where you can start making the sense of having them headline that fight card and I think that works I really do believe that works a great idea you think about it the think about it DC if we get the other two fights you’re talking about if isra adna Alex Pereira is is the the main event and now you have Leon Edwards and balal muhamad now you have waye and grao that’s a fight card everyone shows up to excited to see because you got those two Headliners at the top uh DC it’s two it’s 2024 you said early on we don’t do well with predictions well you do sometimes because you cheat you call your friends over in Las Vegas at the UFC headquarters and you ask them questions they show you the board that re we we revealed on the pivot that time and then everybody thinks you’re the smartest human in the world but I’m coming to you right now what are the top three fights you want to see in 2024 I ain’t got nothing I ain’t got nothing okay okay number one number one I I got to see Jones and miic I have to I have to see those guys fight finally we’ve been teased with it for so long they told us we’re going to have to wait for it so hey make it happen and I also know that it’s going to be a fun fight and when those guys walk to the oown because of what they’ve been to the sport is going to really mean a lot to people who are in attendance and the people watching I got to see Chandler versus McGregor RC RC Connor has to fight him please Connor I’m asking you as a friend of Michael Chandler give this man this fight we need Michael Chandler to get the bag we need him to be rewarded for all the time that he has waited for this fight please his patience deserves to be rewarded and then bro I think Tom aspo needs to get his his uh his his chance against the winner of Jones versus miotic I think that he has to get an opportunity and now he’s finally stepping up and saying stuff he said Jones you need to fight people who build your legacy that’s what John said he goes me great idea absolutely the UFC do you want to fight Tom Stipe no John no Tom he gives him the old hand on the chin like what well if you guys want to build Legacy I’m clear to the fight why won’t either of you fight me I need to see Tom Aspen get his chance man because he seems to be the next generation of heavyweight yeah Tom is starting to figure it out remember we thought that he missed his chance on the microphone after The Knockout of Sergey pavlovich but now he’s starting to say okay let me speak up a little bit because the squeaky will sometime gets the oil so I’m going to go with uh Sha Mali Mor Rob also Jon Jones Aspen right J Jones Aspen and also um we’re going to go Moreno Pantoja 3 those are the three fights I want to see um I’m a huge Brandon Moreno fan and that’s not the order I want Jones asol first I’m a huge Brandon Moreno fan like I I just him and I thought that first fight between him and Pantoja was an absolute barn burner and after watching Pantoja uh defend against Brandon reval I think that Brandon Moreno can beat him and that like that dude just fight so hard he has so much so many so much guts I think he wins that fight uh Ali morab is just like ever since dude stole his Michael Jackson jacket I’ve been wanting to see that right Mor Rob get an opportunity to avenge his best friend almain Sterling but Shan Al in order to do that has to beat chto Vera and I feel the same way you feel about Jones and ask asol I know the Jones miic fight is the Legacy fight but I think Jones Aspen is one of those fights where J who I believe has segemented his greatness gets to take it to another level right at at heavyweight he gets to say oh this is your young dog this is the guy put him up against the greatest ever and watch what happens and if not Tom aspo truly gets to ascend to Super and now that Heavyweight Championship belt means more than it ever has yeah yeah that those are great fights you know the isn’t it crazy R see how something’s so petty as Mor Rob taking the jacket is like yo I got to see these dudes fight it’s like somebody stealing something when you were growing up or putting that stupid thing on your shoulder and they say they knock it off they talking about off [Applause] you hey DC or when you put your shoulder against each other and just walk around in a circle for 5 minutes and hoping somebody going to punch you you just walk I wish you would I wish you would do something hey D I I’ll fight over anything do that is you take my Michael Jackson Jack we got to throw hands RC RC when you used to put your shoulder on his shoulder you walking around of the circle like most of the time you just hoping you just actually hoping that he don’t hit you most of the time you like hoping he doesn’t hit you cuz you you kind of scared of him just like he’s scared of you so you like I’m going just keep pushing him cuz I cannot be afraid that’s what happened with and Sean Mor took his jacket so now these dudes got to fight yo those fighting words dog this is crazy all right RC now we got to try to figure now we got to figure out who do you believe is going to be the male fight of the year in 2024 I’m glad we talked about it I’m picking sha Ali because I believe we you taught me this you win that Championship you get a you get some percentages better sha Ali beats Cho Vera morab if he does fight triple C beats Triple C and we watch these two men fight Mor Rob with that Relentless competitiveness the the 48 or 49 takedown attempts in one fight against a right hand that just won’t quit that also took his boy aljo out Shao Mali is going to be my male fighter of the Year hey do yeah we’re very Wishful I mean sha Mali fights three times in one year that would be crazy and if he did RC and he won all those fight his Superstar level would be like maxed out he might actually be like Conor McGregor he would go to the Moon if he fought three times and won those three fights mine is going to be Tom Aspen because I believe that Tom Aspen will get his opportunity and I’m not saying he’s going to win but I believe that on that stage on that level when he gets the opportunity to fight one of those greatest of all time types of guys he’s going to do so well that he’s going to be looked at or viewed like one of the best fighters in the world I and guys the reason I’m tip tooning around this is because I’m not allowed to pick fights so I’m just telling you I believe that Tom Aspen will find his way into the conversation by the end of the year RC yeah there goes the cop out uh for my female fighter of the year and I hope she gets enough opportunities to defend her belt it’s uh it’s Jang way Lee um her explosiveness just jumps off the screen every time you watch her I love her talking about moving up and fighting Alexa Gro I think think that only shows how great she truly is and if not for two matchups against Rose nunas we are already talking about Jean Way Lee the way we talked about Amanda Nunes the way we talked about Valentina chevchenko and I believe this is the year she puts herself in those conversations she cements herself as she already is one of the greatest of all I mean of all time she’s just a phenomenal fighter and I mean RC they got stories coming out of the performance at student China that she broke every record like she is just a phenomenal athlete and uh she has proven that time and time again but you know for me I think it’s be Aaron blanchfield I believe that Aaron blanchfield has an opportunity an opportunity because RC think about this she already said that if there was nobody to fight at 135 for the belt she was in we’ve seen her fight some of the best at 125 she’s always in I believe that one of these opportunities will come to fruition for her and I believe that she will put herself in the conversation for female fighter of the Year all right so now we have to go to one new champion at the end of the year let me get back to my list here and my one new Champion mine to yeah my one new Champion is an old champion and this is going to surprise you DC Jamal Hill gets his belt back that’s bu new champion at the end of the year I feel like he’s seen the disrespect everybody’s putting out these videos of how Alex Pereira will knock him out and all of those things and I believe that he gets his belt back when he gets his match up RC you believe that even though he’s saying that he’s not going to take him down and he’s going to just stand with him you think that Jamal can can get that belt back and he’s just going to stand DC this so this so this is my question to you DC I know and and you know Jamal Hill is not as skilled a striker as Israel adna is he’s not right Israel [ __ ] is a more skilled Striker and let’s say Israel adna front kicked Alex or he question mark kicked him or some sort of crazy roundhouse kick then I would be like man Jamal don’t have that in his bag I saw two fights in a row is he hit Alex Pereira with a onew wobbled him one time knocked them out the other time if you’re telling me Jamal Hill don’t have that puncher’s chance to win then I am disagreeing with you and I think he’s going to be willing to stand in front of him and strike we’ve seen Alex be touched and I believe getting touched by Jamal will be the hardest he’s been punched since becoming a member of the UFC yeah you know and and and Jamal also showed against Glover how tough he is and how durable he is under some very very tough circumstances for me I chose shavkat rman off because that dude is he’s just good man he’s just really really good hey and if it ain’t going to be Leon Edwards then I believe that this dude shott is he’s amazing bro the guy’s big he’s strong he can strike he can wrestle he can do everything he seems to have all of the things that a champion need in order to hold a belt by the end of 2024 hey I’m not sure about any of this I would be if anyone ask me do I believe that Leon Edis would be the champion at the end of the year I probably say yeah do I believe that b Bal Muhammad could be the champ by the I probably say yes shot yes because these guys are can’t say yes to everything you can’t say yes to everything are hard but these are hard not your food choices this is not food choices you can’t say yes to everything these are hard questions these are I’m just my point being RC that everybody’s so skilled now it’s like hard to see who could beat who it’s it’s a very tough Sport RC is time to tap in and tap out first time in 2024 Carper Jake hit us up all right guys rumors are swirling that Jorge mazal and Nate Diaz will have a rematch but this time in a boxing ring RC tap in or tap out on a maal Diaz boxing match I tap out I watched Nate Diaz box and I didn’t like it like I I’m sorry if you put him in the Octagon I’d watch these two men fight again even though Jorge dominated him for the BMF title but if he boxes and he looks anything like he looked against Jake Paul double punching people and all that I don’t want to see it no I I tap out I tap out DC and you can tell me whatever you want I don’t want to watch it no no I actually agree I tap out because even in the Mixed Martial Arts fight RC we kind of had the idea that mazol would be the better Striker and Nate was the better ground guy Nate was the better wrestler the better Grappler and mazal dominated that so now you’re telling me you’re going to now limit Nate Diaz to fighting George in the only area that we felt he held the advantage going into fight one yeah I don’t anticipate it going very well for my boy Nate Diaz so yeah I’m going tap out on that one I’m tapping out I guys speaking of boxing announced the other day Francis andani will step back into the ring against former unified world champion anony Joshua later this year DC tap in or tap out and ganu can beat Joshua I tap in I tap happen you know why because Anthony Joshua is not Tyson Fury one and we watch Anthony Joshua fight against uh I’m Lo I’m losing the guy um I’m losing the guy’s name theu yeah Ruiz the little fat Mexican dude yep he beat him the first time and in the second fight Anthony was so cautious usyk beat him he’s very cautious and after watching Francis knock down Tyson in the way that he did I believe anony is going to be very cautious and by being cautious he’s going to allow Francis to be in the fight and I believe that Francis is going to get after him now the odds makers don’t think so Francis is a plus 500 Underdog again yeah you know I tap in and I do believe that Anthony Joshua is as Linux Lewis once put it a very skilled pugilist but when you watch Francis and ganu against Tyson Fury he was in no way overwhelmed and we saw the power with that left hand knock down Fury about Anthony Joshua there’s days he shows up and he could be a world beater and then there’s days he shows up and it feels like anybody in the world can beat him so I tap in that Francis and ganu can get the win guys we know champ champ fights Jak Jake wait wait wait Jake wait wait stop RC isn’t that crazy how different this is when he fought Tyson fur we all thought he was just in over his head fast forward 6 months now we think this dude can actually beat Anthony Joshua that’s we saw it’s crazy what one night can do yeah you got opportunity to truly see it and you saw that he wasn’t overwhelmed by the moment but also wasn’t overwhelmed by skill when we’ve seen Tyson Fury just flat out out skill so many heavyweight boxers guys we know champ champ fights are becoming more and more prevalent in the UFC DC participated himself so RC tap in or tap out we see more than one champ vers champ fight in 2024 I tap in that you’ll see more than one but I don’t think you’ll see any more than one there may be two of these fights you also have to realize it has to be the right time it has to be the right Champion they have to have solidified themsel within their weight class and so if we do get to see way Lee Gro I believe there may be one more but there aren’t enough Champions who solidified their spot within their own divisions to be making moves up or down to fight other Champions I thought that we would see more than one because I thought that we’d get a fight between either 55 going 70 or 70 going 85 but Mah’s injury now throws a wrench in all of that so I believe that we see Gro versus way Lee but that’s it I think that’ll be the only champ champ fight we see this this year because I believe that Leon Edwards has work to do and I believe that Sean Strickland has work to do because if he gets through draus he can fight Izzy again and if draus wins Izzy is going to want to fight draus because of the the history and the fight uh that they had uh scheduled so yeah I think it’ll be one RC I think we’re going to just see the ladies do it this year all right guys last one recently on Joe Rogan’s podcast DC and Joe got to talking about alpha males and DC said this about he and Jon Jones’s brawl in the casino we get to fighting I am on my back and there was a thought to bite the mfer RC tap RC tap in or tap out DC should have went full alpha male and bit Jon Jones I tap all the way in if we’re fighting within a casino know there are no rules this is not in the Octagon it does not make you soft to bite a man and if you got to get bit that’s what dogs do and so I wish my Bo would have been we trying to we trying to win at all times ain’t no rules ain’t no rules RC Joe was talking about Mike Tyson bit Linux Lewis on the leg he bit aand Holyfield on the ear I was just saying that when you’re an alpha male and you find yourselves on the bottom it doesn’t work you don’t usually you’re not there so it’s so unfamiliar you go into survival mode and when you go into survival mode at times the tee come out I mean it is what it is how about bit him how about bit him down old bro I would have been mad at you at all that’s a that’s an unfamiliar position for you dog you a you don’t be I hate that on your back no I’m not trying to lay on my back for nobody man what’s wrong with you RC listen it’s been a long time since we’ve done the show I’m excited that we’re back with RC guess what I’m in Louisiana tomorrow baby I’m flying in to Baton Rouge dude my
