On this episode of Good Guy / Bad Guy, find out what DC & Chael think about Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal ditching the Octagon …
you know DC I thought maybe things could be a little different with you and I I thought maybe we could get along and do this in Friendship but here we are two weeks into the show and I already got to call you out call me out on what what did I do now it’s not what you did it’s not what you said it’s what you didn’t do and it’s what you didn’t [Music] say [Music] what what’s up guys welcome to another episode of good guy bad guy I’m Daniel Cormier that is my man CH sunon and obviously I didn’t do or I didn’t say something but CH we’re getting into five rounds but before we’re only six days from the start of the real March Madness as we to Matt Madness in Kansas City Missouri and I can’t wait my brother the seats came out yesterday and all hell broke loose in amateur wrestling but cha you and I are both happy because it’s a bit messy and we love messy did you say Matt Madness I mean I got to tell you maybe you stole that somewhere but I’ve never heard it if you just coin that we need to put that on a T-shirt and a bumper sticker today that was beautiful it is Matt Madness coming to Kansas City CH we’re gonna both wear Matt Madden his t-shirts for our show next week live from Kansas City but show but sorry but CH we need to get to five rounds with DC and Cha here’s round number one cha remember we got a minute to get to our points get it done round one Nate Diaz George mazal scheduled now what do you make of it I am interested in this I I thought there was room for celebrity boxing I mean way back when this started I credited to the Brothers whether I’m exactly historically right or not I thought it had about a year and a half Daniel and that’s everything that’s the Roy Joneses the Mike Tyson’s theander holy Fields you know some of these old names coming back or even the Tyron Woodley and the the Anderson silvas going over to it I was wrong I made that prediction about three and a half years ago and now here we’ve got gamebred and we’ve got uh uh Diaz but if I can make this final Point Daniel they’re putting their money where their mouth is these guys are the promoter of the event they stand to make a lot partner they stand to lose a lot yeah absolutely and you know what CH I like it because these two guys need direction they need something to do especially since they are not in the UFC anymore my only concern is in the UFC when there was a full tool set to fight with Nate Diaz got beat by George mazal now he is going into mazad doll’s world to try to beat him it would seem to be a very difficult matchup for Diaz but he seem he is all for it round two chill Jack de la Melina if he was not impressive enough on Saturday night we just found out that he broke his arm very early in that fight to and then still finish Gilbert Burns how impressed are you by the toughness now of Jack Dela as you are impressed with this skill set no I sell I sell hard here I I I see this a very different way there has been fights where one athlete Tapped Out the referee missed it the fight continued and it went against him it should have been stopped at the tap the commission has reviewed that and given it to the guy who should have won initially if the ref had not missed it Tim Sylvia lost a world championship he had a bone in his arm popped nobody saw only Herb Dean did everyone who’s booing Herb Dean we look in and we see so now we have we have proof that if you are damaged and you have a broken bone that you lose by TKO even if the referee missed it so I am seeing j I’m seeing Jack come out in b basically say hey ref you screwed up hey Gilbert you did more damage than I did Gilbert should have win this fight by TKO Jack is a fool for putting this out Jack you’re so crazy man sometimes I don’t know where you get this stuff but here’s the thing the right guy won he’s insanely durable he’s insanely tough and it tells you what adrenaline does for you we had one guy get stopped because he had a splinter the other guy fought with a broken Al got the job done that is the levels of fighting we see in the UFC sometimes you don’t see it in other places excuse if there was a tap if there was a if there was a tap and the referee missed it we all see it and you go to a commission for a review and you prove there was a tap do you disagree that history says they reverse that decision cuz it just happened in New Jersey in the pfl yes absolutely the right call reverse the right guy W the right guy won the right according to Jack according to Jack he was hurt according to Jack according to Jack himself he was injured in an injury that Jack knows the referee would have stopped had he been aware Jack has made him aware this could be reversed if Gilbert pushed it all right CH round three tough 32 the former Champion Valentina chevchenko takes on the reigning Champion Alexa Gro they fought twice a draw in a win by the champ now it seems like the sphere would be a great place for this fight Mexican Independence Day as they fought last year here’s one problem Valentina doesn’t want to fight on Mexican Independence Day chill my question to you is this does she really have a choice considering she’s not the champ anymore and what does it say to the mindset of the former Champion that she is kind of saying I don’t want to fight where I would feel like Alexa is the crowd favorite yeah and I love your second Point even more than the first I mean look the Challenger that’s hungry will will do anything there is no negotiation on money there’s no negotiation on cage or glove size and some of these silly things that come up they will do anything to get that shot now what her bigger argument isn’t the spear specifically it’s that it’s going to be in Las Vegas specifically she would like it to come to her home town she thinks that Alexa was favored by the judges in the first one look Daniel there is something to be said for you do for me and I do for you and we give him back but that would be for the second match this is not the second match this is the third match has already given the bullet 10 rounds to beat her and the bullet hasn’t done it the bullet needs to be a little bit more hat in the hand as we say it America yeah she’s got to just take what she can get at this point cuz chill for a while it didn’t seem like she would get the third fight she’s getting the third fight she gets another opportunity to regain her Championship but here’s one of the bigger issues I believe that safest way to get a belt go to 135 because we all saw that the champion now is you know Raquel Pennington did not fight great round four chill I’m sorry that I went a little long my friend Yan young J went into the Hall of Fame is going into the Hall of Fame in July does the strawweight division ever exist if not for Yan young J who was such a great champion Daniel she is so wonderful if I could just tell you a quick story but she’d only foughten twice in the UFC and she used to wear this this brown leather jacket I don’t think like that was a gimmick but it you she was known for the coat like she looked so cool in this coat she came walking into a UFC fighter summon I was side by side with Ronda Rousey who was the queen of MMA myself everyone in the room including Ronda we all turn it was kind of like a gasp moment we go that’s her that’s that girl we keep seeing she’s a star that’s my point she had on a coat jail she had on a really nice coat and it St you yeah yes sometimes it’s the lwh hanging fruit that we all fall in love with look Y young jck was really something special from the boogie woman to the staredowns to the intimidation to the way that she fought she was exactly what that division needed to get started and she carried it for a really long time I don’t know that we ever will see someone in that division rain like she did all hell the strawweight queen or the former strawweight Queen she belongs in the Hall of Fame CH round five taiu iasa takes on Marin tyor this weekend for a while taiu iasa was rolling my man he was hot but it all seems to cool down now what’s the importance of this fight this weekend especially with the top of the division seemingly locked up by Jones uh Tom aspal steep Mi and now Curtis blades again and even with the bumps in the road that tuasa has experienced those performances Daniel he’s getting better I see him getting better each time now you do you really have to understand Tui basa is a modern day tank Abbot and what I mean by that is he’s a brawler he’s a fighter he wants to be in there and he’s not going to back down but he’s not a black belt in anything he’s not totally polished before you think I’m insulting him I’m say no that that’s why we keep seeing him taking so many leaps in between fights not to mention don’t judge his body for his level of Fitness that guy can push hard for the entire fight should he need to he’s a good fighter man I trained with taiu iasa a while back before the pandemic and I was very impressed with that run that he went on this weekend though he fights Marin tyur a guy who is willing to give him the type of fight that he generally excels in can taiu iasa get back on the winning side of things or I believe this is just a Crossroads we will know what to make of these two after Saturday night it’s a heavyweight Banger that I cannot wait to watch jayen I’ll be watching this weekend but matches that I will M watch will come down the line so it’s time for Matchmaker last weekend we saw some great performances obviously sha Al defended his championship Dustin porier won Michael Venom page won Jack Dela Melina won and P Yan won so what does that leave us with the people that lost last week in jail everybody rushes to match the person that won how about the other guys they’re very good Fighters themselves so chill let’s play matchmaker who do you want to see next against Cheeto vera after he lost his championship opportunity last weekend Corey sandhagen and not only do I want to see that Corey sandhagen would like to see that look I can’t remember the last time that Cory asked for a favor around here I really can’t remember the last time he called somebody out let alone he did it with Venom now Daniel maybe I’m taking for granted that you saw uh Corey’s formerly Twitter now we call it x uh yesterday but he was very aggressive towards Cheeto he did not call him out but it was very clear that this piece was designed as a challenge I like the idea you know chill here’s my deal right so I do this thing it’s kind of my stick you know I I play matchmaker it gets turned into Graphics so that people can watch it but I’m going tell you who I want Cheeto to fight next I want to see him and Kyler Phillips because after Kyler Phillips was able to do what he did last weekend against Pedro Munoz he deserves an opportunity for something bigger guys like this a guy that was on The Ultimate Fighter when I coached moving his way up in the rankings gets another big step after he bounces Pedro Munoz who for years was one of the top ban weights in the world out of the top 15 I believe that he is deserving of another opportunity and another big spot I say put him and Cheeto in the Octagon next I believe it would be absolute fireworks chill give me your next matchup for benois S the KN all right I’m going with Jeff Neil here now I’d like to make my case and it’s twofold first off I think that that’s a really good position there’s a policy it’s not a rule but if you won your last fight you get matched up with the guy that won his last fight if you came in second you go with the guy that came in second look I just think they’re a lot of fun St Den Is Not Afraid anywhere he has shown his ability on the ground but on his feet he really is something special and Jeff Neil is as good of an athlete as 170 lbs has right now I think they both need each other you know what I would love to see that chill I mean you make the rules this is your Matchmaker so if you want to put a welterweight and the lightweight together go ahead en Joy yourself this is ch’s world we all live in it but for me I’m going rafhael FIV I want to see benois s Den against another young upand cominging guy that is dangerous that is just a phenomenal boy Tha Striker and a guy that fought Justin gatei right I think these young guys that get the opportunity to fight those longtime veterans if they fail they should fight each other to try to work their way back into the elite of the division so I would like to see these two fight each other chill Michael Venom pagee beat Kevin Holland Kevin Holland is a guy that always picks his hand up to fight anyone that they match him up with or anyone that needs an opportunity who do you want to see Kevin Holland fight next year I’m going with Wonderboy and it’s a lot of because what you just said I mean it’s just very on brand Kevin Holland takes the absolute hardest matches I mean really there’s nothing stylistic about it I even spoke to Kevin one time about doing a grapp match he was going to go against Rumble Johnson rest his soul he’s going to give up 30 lbs and it was on two days notice I mean the guy when you say we’ll take on anybody he truly is the current time cowboy Cerrone Wonder Boys a very interesting matchup particularly because they would both stand and not to mention I thought that Holland surprised a lot of people with MVP you can talk about the the strike count being down sure you can but you can also talk about his defense being up MVP put up a lot of air balls and he’s got a very similar style to Wonder Boy in that it’s very unique get a really good fight I would like to see that chill honesty I would absolutely watch it but for me I want to see him fight Neil Magny right I think that after you fight all these high level fights I mean remember he stood up to fought chamaya on a day notice he fought MVP on his way over here Neil Magny also is a guy that I think Neil Magny has more wins in the welterweight division than anyone so I would like to see Kevin Holland get an opportunity to fight Neil Magny two guys that both are coming off losses that both needs something positive to push them forward in a very loaded welterweight division now chil Gilbert Burns also lost last weekend but Gilbert Burns got finished you don’t see Gilbert Burns get finished he got finished by Jack Dela Melina and by your logic he won the fight so how would you match him up considering he actually won last weekend could when we kind of look at it the way you look at it I’m going white hat versus the black hat and I’m burying my lead but you probably already know Gilbert Burns versus Colby Covington listen they’re both living in Florida and there is no way that that town in jurisdiction is big enough for the two of them by the way Colby Covington has never been called out that I’m aware and anybody that has called Colby out while he’s already got a signed contract for somebody else I’m throwing out that that doesn’t count except one there is an exception that said I want chaos and he said it for a meaningful period of time whether Kobe was on top or right now where he’s regrouping that’s Gilbert Burns and that is a very interesting match and I just don’t think those two can avoid each other for very much longer let’s just get this over with now that is a great fight man I never thought about that I never thought about Covington Covington’s on his Covington’s on his stuff right now though man he putting Ian Gary through the ringer and if they don’t get a payoff to that after all he told Ian Gary yesterday he got a bag chill if they don’t get to pay that off I would be very very sad I’m putting him against Jeff Neil I’m putting Gilbert Burns against Jeff Neil Jeff Neil hands of stone tremendous boxer we know that Gilbert is a tremendous boxer and Grappler I believe that both of these guys need each other Jeff Neil just came off the loss against Ian Gary at UFC 298 in Anaheim 299 Gilbert Burns lost the timing works I think that it just makes sense to match them together I think it’s a great fight and a great opportunity lastly song son Yong had a tremendous fight against pan who by the way was hurt going into that fight it was reported after the fight happened but s Yong has become one of the funnest guys in the UFC a tremendous power puncher who do you want to see songy dong challenge next CH all right Daniel every now and then instead of matchmaking too quickly the right thing to do is to take your or out of the water for example I feel it featherweight that that’s what we’re doing right now before we go and get ilot Toria all of a sudden this new star lined up let’s breathe a little bit for example if Max Holloway gets the jump on gatei and wants to slide back down it’s a very different conversation aljo who will be fighting on 300 against Kar if he comes out looks good does the right interview I think we’re having a very different landscape in that weight class my point for uh song I’d like him to wait as well I’d like to give a good look to uh garbrandt versus fig goo I understand we’d probably be looking for the guy that came in second there but that’s a really great matchup and and maybe what should be next for song you know what that’s a good fight especially if it’s cor if it’s cor if it’s garbrandt because of the history song was the young guy in alpha male when Cody was rocking and rolling as the champion so yeah that gets a little cloudy but for me I’m giving him another opportunity chill I’m putting him in there with Dominic Cruz I know that Dominic Cruz is not really going to just fight for the sake of fighting Dominick Cruz is a very smart guy he’s made a lot of money as the champion the greatest bantamweight of all time he is a tremendous commentator but I believe that a fight with s Yong would motivate him and excite him enough to get him back into the Octagon Dominick Cruz is an absolute Savage and he is not done competing yet but he wants to compete in the biggest moments and the biggest matchups I believe s y dong fits that bill to a t so I’m matching up the former champ Dominic Cruz against song I like where your head’s at you know I was with Dominick Cruz Daniel and I just asked him straight up you it was just the two of us I should straight Dom give me the scoop man are you still fighting he’s never retired but he also hasn’t been as aggressive with his call outs Daniel he answered my question it was just he and I drinking a cup of coffee it was a super hot cup of coffee by the time he was done he had touched on seven different dimensions it took so long that my coffee was cold and I still don’t have the answer quite frankly I mean he told me where his coach is at he told me told me that he moved he told me what he’s working on he told me the tapes that he’s watching he told me where his contract as and is standing with Dana White somewhere in there I was supposed to interpret something but I’ll tell you this much the people that are writing Dominic go and think he’ll only do Legends fights they don’t know dominant Cruz if he’s going to fight he’ll fight anybody they want him to that’s hilarious it’s so it’s so Dominic it’s so Dominic I had no idea I I mean I like needed in interpreter sometimes when I talk to him and I consider him a friend like I feel like we would it was just the two of us there was no performance there we were pinging around I mean I know so much about this guy’s personal life now I don’t know for sure if he’s fighting or not you know Miami is a city for stars and last weekend we had two of the biggest stars in the UFC perform brilliantly as Dustin porier knocked out beninois sandini and the boy suar Shan om Ali retained his championship in his pink shorts with his Skittles haircut and he just is a guy that’s exploding so it got me thinking CH why don’t we list the five biggest stars in the UFC I listed them right now I didn’t list them all time T I got to be honest I didn’t quite understand the assignment that’s what the young kids say you don’t understand the assignment oh man DC didn’t so I will go with what I picked at number five I got a Lex Prat Alex pra is a guy that is as scary as they come he’s barely been here CH he’s already a double champion and the reception that this man receives everywhere he goes is next level and he is not missing any opportunities to be seen by the people Alex peda is the all-time special fighter at every UFC event that he is not fighting on So He makes himself available and the fans are responding in cont number four all right I’m going sha Ali cuz CH I was in Miami and I saw how the crowd responded to Shaun Ali I saw an arena completely full for a bantamweight I saw the emotion look all week it felt like Cheeto Vera was going to be the fan favorite until we got into the arena and the paying customer the paying customer chill let their voices be heard because the ones that bought the tickets were there to experience the sugar show and from what I have heard chill the numbers are looking very nice for sugar sha Ali so at number four I got sha Ali and also Daniel the growth has to impress you as well I I mean if you were to look at where Shawn was two years ago and compare that to anybody else on the roster his gains are a greater so what I’m saying is He’s got potential as big as he is right now and I agree with everything you said he’s got potential to grow he’s going to be even bigger by the time this is is all said and done at number three chill I got the former middleweight champion Israel adna Israel adna is an absolute star and he’s a guy that shows up I believe that Izzy for all of his character and how exciting he is in terms of fighting his dancing and all these other things I think what people appreciated most about edisa was his activity he fought more over a short period of time as Champion as anyone I have ever seen for a long time so Not only was the fights exciting you had the great walkouts you had the dancing you had him headlining a card in Australia with 55,000 people inside of the Arena it was amazing to sit there and watch him become the Undisputed Champion when he knocked out Robert Whitaker but I believe it was his activity that made him so appreciated by the fans and you know how they paid him back chill they hit the pay-per-view buy button over and over and over and at aagna told sold a ton of reviews he is a massive star I’ve been so impressed how osna remains a man of the people I watched him defend his belt against Robert Whitaker and then he puts it on Burger beard which is like an internet personality who happened to be in the front row by by day trade he’s a landscaper right I mean it was hard he he had to save and do a lot of things to get to the event all of a sudden osna the biggest star is including him osna will entertain you on the walk to the ring with the performance and on the way out the door he is the total package yeah absolutely love Izzy man he has done some special things in a very short period of time CH you know who I got at number two you you and I favorite John Bones Jones because back in the day CH JN Bones Jones sold pay-per-views with you or JN Bones Jones sold pay-per-views with me or Rashad Evans guys that he had a history with or guys that could talk and annoy him John Bones Jones sold 800,000 pay-per-views with siral Gan a guy that had no history with Jones there was no beef and I think that speaks to who Jon Jones has become as a star in the sport of mixed martial arts obviously the layoff help and him not being around was great absence makes the heart grow fonder but I think it was very telling that Jon Jones did not need the right dance partner to sell he did it with sirro Gan we know how he can fight we know he’s a champion but now it seems as though the people are responding to him as the raw that it feels like he should have been a long time ago there’s something we do out here in the west coast it’s called mooning people now it’s a little outdated but it’s where you force them to see your butt you will show them your it’s called a moon people will do it as a drive by in traffic for example Jon Jones beat the holy heck out of me and it was about 2: in the morning CU we were on the East Coast time he then went back to the hotel comforted my mother and as he said goodbye he mooned her Jon Jones is funny Jon Jones has personality and Charisma quite frankly and I really feel when the camera goes on sometimes he he he pretends to be somebody he’s not Daniel the real Jon Jones is a really good time to be around that’s the truth that is hilarious he mooned your mom oh your poor mom to see that big black ass guys number one I got Conor McGregor and it’s unquestionable I don’t care what you feel about Conor McGregor I don’t care that Conor McGregor has not fought for a long time CH on this one I actually understood the assignment because Conor McGregor is the biggest star now Conor McGregor is also the biggest star of all time I know Anderson and Chuck and all those great fighters from the past but no one has gone to the levels of Conor McGregor and I don’t believe that we will ever see another Conor McGregor again the 2 a half million pay-per-views that he sold with Habib Nega medov is a number that the UFC will never touch again unless Conor McGregor fights and he fights a guy like khabib Nora medov this is unquestionable he is the biggest star today he is the biggest star of all time and he will always be the biggest star that the UFC has ever seen oh forget it he he’s one of the biggest stars in entertainment Daniel they would sell out Arenas because folks in Dublin would get on jumbo Jets and come over and droves that’s how over he was three days before the event they would be in the streets chanting and singing for him whether he won or lost they still backed him up and they still went to the Afterparty and they still look forward to what’s next that guy was just a global Superstar if you want to say for a fighter for a boxer for an Entertainer go ahead you could leave that out though and you could just say star yeah you know CH I love also that you’re talking about him in the past tense you’re putting him in the past tense with the was because the other day you act like you believe he was coming back but now you’re putting him in the past tense where he kind of belongs right now chill chill that was a great list that I would say that’s the best list I don’t know how you could top it but I’ll give you the opportunity to try well I really enjoyed your list and to your uh original point I maybe we did uh misinterpret this I looked at these like artists and one thing we know about artists is their work is more valued and appreciated after so I really did look at the list and kind of who as I was coming up inspired me so I went a lot of guys that were after and by the way you talk about this list I left you off because it’s president company but should you and Jon Jones have fighted at UFC uh 200 as planned that would have the records if Brock Lesnar went through with his heavyweight title fight against you that would have records all right number five I’m going to start with my mentor Randall P cotour now the the one thing with Randy is they call him the natural that was his nickname and over time he kind of amended how he got to that point because he never used uh steroids and performance- enhancing drugs the reality was they call him a natural because on day one he could play on day one he was in a two-man tournament against guys who had done this before he never had and not only did he deal with them he dealt with them handily one after the next and never got hurt that’s why they call him the natural I love Randy cure and I think that Randy ctour is underappreciated and not remembered for what he truly was to the sport he sold and that dude became the heavyweight champion of the world at 45 years old CH why turn 45 next week I could not imagine going into an octagon with a 6 foot7 Tim Sylvia to become the world champion Randy cotor is a great pick all right number four I went with Brock Lesnar and I believe that numbers would support me now Brock Lesnar had one flop he fought over re and as great as that looked on a poster and as long as people waited to see it the numbers weren’t there but I want to tell you why the UFC played a Friday night they had done Saturdays for over 10 years they put this fight on a Friday night because of the Fourth of July holiday a lot of people ended up missing it but I do think that Brock Lesnar’s uh numbers were impressive and aside from his pay-per-view and his draw ability how about his numbers such as he was three and one when he won the World Championship you know CH if I understood Brock Lesnar and Ronda Ry would be on the list but again I’m I was never a great student chill that’s why I went to Oklahoma State where wrestling is King and everything else is secondary I love it and by the way don’t tell me you fell for the Ronda hype that was marketing po poor Ronda who’s a friend of mine but she doesn’t have any records she has no live gate records t-shirt records or pay-per-view records that was smoking mirrors my friends you want to know who really is number three the most famous Muslim Athlete on the play it khib nurmagamedov this guy did a little of everything you want to know the hardest thing the hardest fight that khib ever had that I witnessed it was between he and Dana White just to get the opportunity khabib would beg for these he would go out and finish guys khabib is the most dominant combat athlete and I’m including boxing of all time I come to that analysis because he has more 108 rounds than anybody in combat history how do you like that first stat on top of being undefeated come on man they built a stadium for this guy when he fought por they didn’t have anywhere to put it they built an arena for this guy he is a star yep khabib the mega medov absolutely is a star and you’re right CH the ettihad stadium in Abu Dhabi was built for khabib and honestly those big deals that they have in the Middle East would not have worked if not having khabib negaal so sometimes CH like you said he begged Dana to get the opportunity sometimes you don’t know that you got a goal mine right right up under your nose and then when you start to cash in it walks away khabib n Mega medov was an absolute star and I once went on the show I went on first take jail and I put khabib as the number one Combat Sports athlete of all time and I got more hate than I’ve ever received in my entire life maybe because the platform was so big but I agree with you on that point all right and I’m going to tell you this and I believe that he is also the best ever I’m bearing my lead but I’m talking about George St Pierre also Al known as judges State PR but I will tell you this Dana White said he used to lose sleep like as a promoter and as a businessman he would lose sleep he’d be so nervous his stomach would get SI but for pay-per-views except if GSP was fighting he said he knew that he could count on them and I will tell you a number at one point it was when St Pierre fought uh Josh kosek for the second time they did that in Canada and they did that at $1 million gate in front of 40,000 people those records have been beaten but at the time that not only set the bar it crushed former competition I have never heard a crowd louder than when we walked with kek out in Montreal those people sounded like they wanted to kill him they were there for George St Pierre and they let it be known and boy chill I was very early in my career so I had never really gotten an opportunity to witness greatness that wasn’t a teammate I had saw Cain Velasquez show greatness against Brock Lesnar but to sit next to the octagon and watch that man compete I swear CH would look like he was floating out there he was so good I could not believe that this guy wasn’t a wrestler had a background in our sporters he was just so good man yeah another great pict CH it feels like you understood the assignment all right I tell you this I was in Fox Studios and something we call the Green Room I was visiting with a brand new commentator who just signed with the UFC by the name of Daniel corm and he told me the greatest spot you could get to in this sport it was not Champion it was not main event he told me the greatest spot you can get to is where the outcome of your last match doesn’t matter and I had never considered this before but as I go to number one there’s only one person it is Connor McGregor these are not opinions it is Connor McGregor and one thing I do bring up all the other guys that want to be Main Events they got to be Champion not him all the other guys that want to be the highest star they had to have one their last fight not him I don’t know the stat off the top of my head but I believe he has lost five of his last six that is to include the foray with McGregor I know I’m real close on that but the point I actually mean as a compliment in this context because he remained the boss even after a loss yeah you know he is just different and I I saw him at the roadhouse Premiere the other day the movie that he has uh about to come out starring with Jake Gyllenhaal and you just see it has broken out of our sport he has exploded he is one of the most famous athletes in the entire world not just in mixed martial arts and I would say him and khabib Naga medov are two of the greatest and most recognizable figures in all of sports today CH hey that was a hell of a list man wow that was a hell of a list I appreciate that I appreciate but I got to tell you something though real fast before we move on first off three things okay numbers do not lie and then you have just general politeness and then the third thing is when you’re on live TV don’t ever say you have three things cuz if you can’t remember you kind of look like a fool all right I’m going to stop there too you didn’t put me on there you didn’t put CHP on there I sold more t-shirts more tickets and more pay-per-views than anybody and you know that why am I not on the list chill I I uh I I just was looking at everything and as I broke things down I told you I kind of blanked on it I I wasn’t exactly sure we were talking about athletes today or athletes of all time I will say this if we were talking biggest stars in the history of the UFC yeah you probably still weren’t gonna be on the list my brother I can’t lie to you chill the one thing about a good friend is we shoot you straight all the time you’d probably be around six or seven I I don’t know chill Daniel this isn’t the first time that I’ve been shafted we also talk about uh the fact that Joanna Champion is going to go into the Hall of Fame cuz she did so well at straw weight I have never lost to a straw weight I’ve never even been Challen I’ve never lost a round to a straw weight but you don’t see them mentioning my name on ESPN Jo when are you go yeah when are you going into the Hall of Fame when’s my boy going into the Hall of Fame get Uncle CH into the Hall of Fame the only undefeated Undisputed guy outside of khabib norga met off so chill what did you do with the belt whenever you retired you just kind of relinquished it because you know that’s what a real Champion does no I framed it it’s at a local restaurant in Westland called Cooperstown and by the way I gotta tell I beaten four guys that are already in the Hall of Fame and I assume Rampage and vandalay are going to go in that would be six that would be a record not for nothing and by the way Daniel this isn’t the only list that you left me off of I heard what you said the other day best fighters to never hold an Undisputed belt I love cha but I’m not going to sit here and say cha was one of the best fighters to never hold the belt not one of the top five guys no bro right no van Henderson yeah CH I got to tell you cor I got to tell you Daniel I fought Anderson for the belt and you were there I had two 108 rounds I didn’t have to beat him I just had to run out the clock which had 90 seconds left you’re telling me I’m not one of the best really I don’t think that you mean that chill can I say something can I just say something chill and I will tell you first off they set me up and then when you look at it look at it very closely there’s a thing called AI right and and it it almost takes your voice and says things for you and that wasn’t me CH that wasn’t me you once said are you gonna believe me or you’re lying eyes look at your boy up there CH getting played by the AI that’s not me that’s AI over my voice they played me CH I would never do you like that my brother I promise you jail it’s AI it’s AI yeah that actually would be understandable and don’t forget it wasn’t that you didn’t put me on the list it was that you literally were arguing with somebody who did put me on a list I would love to listen I fought 11 world champions I beat eight of them at three different weight classes they did I didn’t beat them at the right time you got to have the belt the night the guy beats him but in all fairness come on come on it was one removed there was nobody quite like son not 185 pounds there was nobody like Uncle chill chill they uh they they got me with the AI and it was Dan heli who actually had you on his list who knows nothing about mixed martial arts but he got one right for the first time the Hellcat got one right bro chill look man um we have many rivals in or not sorry we have many people we admire in sport wrestling mixed martial arts but if you’re a wrestler and if you’re a wrestler that’s gone down this path you know of Mark Coleman you know of the hammer house you know those great guys that came out of Ohio State not only for wrestling but for mixed martial arts Mark Coleman was heroic last weekend Mark Coleman has been heroic for a long time though Mark Coleman struggled very badly with drugs and alcohol he got himself sober and he flow he flew all around the country speaking the message of how much his life has improved last week he saved his parents chill and he tried to save the dog and when he went to save the dog he got himself into some real trouble Mark colan’s recovering now but let’s give some words to the Hammer as we see him right now uh hugging his his kid and and his wife and and showing some emotion yeah that’s a tough watch right there the last time I’ve see Mark in a shot with both of those girls he was in the ring uh with Fedor Fedor had won the fight but Mark was introducing little girls 9 10 eight years old to Fedor to let him know hey this is just daddy’s job and this is an okay guy so that’s a very beautiful shot right there by the way did you see his body I mean look at how great he looked when Mark was fighting there was even fewer rules than there are now there was no way in gloves only if you wanted to wear them nobody checked for a cup or mouthpiece for that matter to throw somebody down to bludgeon them to headbutt them that’s called aggression and that’s not called being a fighter people get that wrong all the time the fighter is the person that can deal with the aggression that can deal with the adversity that can get up and push through to see Mark Coleman go and save both of his parents and go back in for a dog there is nothing tougher there is no true fighter Daniel I I I would like to think of myself as some somebody that would respond that same way but frankly you don’t know that is a hero that we just looked at late in that hospital bed and I am so glad that he’s okay I’m so happy he’s okay man and I got the message from Mike thebo uh on Monday I think that he that was happening and to see Coley laying in that bed with the ventilator and everything it was so scary to think that there could be a world where we’d have to live without Mark Heman thank God he’s doing better but man when it is over when Coleman comes through this on the other side like the champion that he is and his parents look at him oh my goodness the emotion is going to run through this man knowing that the people that gave him life he saved their life so hats off to Mark Coleman man one of the the pioneers of mixed martial arts and a guy that really did him and Randy and those guys Kevin randomman those were the ones that showed us wrestlers that there was another job out there for us past competing internationally and everything else that we did chill man another great show thank you again for doing it man like I I I can’t thank you enough for stepping up when the boy needed a co-host chill appreciate you my brother there was five people you could have put on the list you really think you know five people that could get the jump on CHP five non-champions that you’re confident could handle CHP you know I cheat by the way it wasn’t just them versus I would have cheated Daniel and you still rode with them come on on man chill if you ain’t cheating if you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying Uncle cha guys catch us next Monday for another episode of good guy bad guy and then again on Thursday get
