like Tim Elliot I just I still got a long way to go on this Sport and I’m just glad I got a new contract and going to keep showing this your winner from Kansas City Tim [Applause] Elliot welcome to UFC on filter please tell me that’s on video I’ve never been happier I’m made for a podcast we’re dangerous listen to me we’re out of [Music] here all Jimmy you’re ready okay might die Jimmy so you might have to just bring up those questions I might forget them what’s that H my phone might die so you might have to bring up those questions oh okay welcome to UFC unfiltered Matt’s phone might die as you just heard um because somebody forgets to plug it in why do you why do you throw me under the bus with that I’m not my wife does it all the time it drives me nuts I’m like I’m like how do you not plug your phone in she just doesn’t she’s always on I’ll ask her to do something she’s like I’m on 1% so I’m like your work wife Jimmy kind of yeah I’ll ask her to film me nude running around the apartment and she just can’t do it maybe she’s lying maybe she just doesn’t want to see me naked um I’m looking forward to Today’s show Matt not just because it’s you and I okay but also because um we have morab on who we have not had in quite a while right huge fight for morab coming up and Tim Elliott who I enjoy very much hey man I’m excited about it I’m sorry I’m stretching Jimmy I I I taught two classes today yes yeah I mean I don’t want a cookie for it I mean it’s my school I should be teaching of course you know it was fun mixed it up a little bit it was maybe it was some people’s um it’s mixed classes so it’s I’m sure it’s a lot of guys first time they they’re um um transitioning into an Ashi yeah you know what an ASI is um a leg grab right oh Jimmy Jimmy I’m not that advanced I haven’t done that it’s not listen I don’t I make it easy I make it easy I Jitsu for dummies I was escaping from uh side control today he was showing me two different ways to do that and um also then how to like uh either to pull someone into Garden reverse from that or uh which working on triangles which were still always a little hard for me know where the arm goes but you know whatever I’m getting there it’s fun and you’re getting a workout too you’re you’re sweating a little bit no dude he’ll say Mike will say the guy I train with his name is Martin he’s like a blue belt but he trains every day and he moves amazingly well so when it’s like when Mike wants me to work go all right just chase him make him follow you so he’ll just constantly get out of everything I’m doing and I have to follow him and just stay with him and not get lost and just be able to move from position to position and at least attempt something that he’s better than me so he gets out of but I love it it’s a terribly hard workout though I have so much fun I do uh Jimmy I want to talk about Mor Rob’s fight with yes Henry yeah what do you think about it being three rounds instead of five rounds I think five rounds definitely benefits morab because I think morab just nonstop but 100% yeah you’re right rounds you can’t let you can’t let Henry you know get up on anything with the wrestling you know say but Mor Rob’s a hard guy to hold down yeah you know what I mean hard guy to pin down plus does morab stop moving I mean it wears on you in later rounds but he he doesn’t it’s not like he starts slow like you know Cheto Vera is known to start a little slow morab is not I mean morab just kind of comes out like a like when a horse runs out of a gate like that’s how morab moves so I I I would prefer this be five rounds though I think it should be five rounds it’s a comain but you know either way I think he he’s he’s not going to get tired I want to talk about his uh Instagram like uh posts morav I have not seen them why don’t you look at the latest one why don’t you put it on for us uh Jake the mighty Ginger Jake the mighty Ginger could you please put on his latest one where he starts the day he’s brushing his teeth he h he opens up his garage door he does a little jog he’s racing a car a little bit at a stop at a uh intersection and then you see him uh he goes to a gas station takes the nozzle out show him fill up his cup drinks that thing you know here we go watch watch why am I say look watch watch watch Jimmy okay watch this everybody yes watch Rob go ahead what is he doing what are you tell hey J you’re gonna like this watch hey now he’s racing a car he’s going to The Institute he’s going to work out now look at this watch SP that’s very funny ready ready Benny Hill get the come on man the machine W very well shot the machine I like that he’s funny he’s funny yes and I’m glad he gets this uh again he’s the guy and we’ve talked about this Matt he’s like so many guys where they have to wait for their shot the way Leon did it’s a part about being a nice guy and I know he didn’t want to fight algam Algin didn’t want to fight him just so close but even if it wasn’t aljo I think morab would have had to wait because he’s a nice guy he’s not a talker um and he’s a nightmare to deal with and nobody wants to fight this guy nobody um it is an exciting matchup though with very exciting it is it is because he might be cringey and say whatever things he says uh shudo uh but you know he is a very very uh strong competitor you game opponent yes a very good Fighter game yeah he’s not laying down for nobody you know no how did uh oh Henry I get do you think I’m sorry M no I’m just saying I believe he says he doesn’t bend the knee unless I just made that up I’m pretty sure he says that bend the knee yeah I mean a lot of guys need to talk to I could do short jokes because I’m short yeah okay that’s all yeah hi um Jimmy do you ever think sure that being a standup that you’re just GNA like you ever is wrers block a real thing and if so how long did you ever suffer from it or so far 33 years that was a layup for you but seriously you know you go through it a I’m kind of having that now actually where I’m happy with my hour and I keep thinking but I don’t force it like I try to go on and talk about something and then I’ll just I keep kind of bumping into a wall like trying to expand and then all of a sudden the door will crack and I’ll just start talking about something a little more and a little more like I’m doing a bit about cheating um and I just kind of start but now it’s like really all right it’s a good 10-minute piece or eight minute pie that’s how I work through rter block some guys are good at sitting there and just making themselves do it is it refreshing for your for your material for your writing um like does it give you more material now at this stage of your life that you’re in a whole new stage of your life being married not that you’re gonna be like oh take my wife please all that type of but I’m saying for instance Seinfeld does things I believe does things talking about kids and stuff the right WR does he I’m sure he does family humor like oh do you find like you’re getting new ideas just doing the whole married thing I know you’re doing the the the show on YouTube with your wife but do you find yourself like opening up to different type of humor with that with your wife or no yes because it’s just your I’ve always talked about my own life like um you get like like George Carlin who’s a genius Observer like you know what I mean I always thought compared him to like a Gargoyle on top of a building just kind of looking down on everything and just firing and I talk more about my life so now that I’m living a different way you talk more about that like it’s just it is what it is um talking about my wife and our experience together it’s there’s a lot there how was that crew you went on that that cruise was it it was B it was Bert’s Cruise B it’s funny our new YouTube video is is about 15 minutes on Bert’s Cruise it was good dude I I’m not a big Cruise person I I worked on the ship and uh four days was more than enough I’d probably never go on another Cruise because I don’t like being trapped on a boat I don’t like being trapped on Transportation I don’t like that either man no but I enjoyed I enjoyed Bert and the comedians I love the gig but if it wasn’t for Bert and the people I wouldn’t have enjoyed yeah I can’t see me doing a cruise ever you know that’s not my cup of tea dude what the why then you go oh let’s go by the pool while we’re floating in the ocean like what are you doing what the you doing let’s go to a buffet while we’re floating in the middle of the Pacific I don’t know and then the problem is the weather like we had bad weather one day or two days so we only docked in Nassau for like you know one day and then the rest of the time we were just at sea so like you’re a slave to the weather too because if you have shitty weather you’re going to get knocked around you’re not going to go where you’re supposed to go um do we have a guest yes we do the machine the machine that’s bird Cher’s nickname as well that’s true much different physical condition than uh morab it’s true well let’s get morab yes let’s bring uh the Great morab [Music] the machine very good where are you headed where are you headed right now Jim Jim is is that are you headed to The Syndicate or you headed to the pi yes yes uh syndic first and after I go pi and nighttime I’m going to wrestling gym I gota prepare for H yeah now this is a huge fight a big name um um fight and obviously you’ve seen Alain fight him um did you pick out a lot from what the way aljamain beat him uh did you see weaknesses obviously you’re not going to tell us what they were but what what did you uh in in in a very broad way learn from watching that Alo fight yeah actually I don’t see any weaknesses when Alo fall handy because I trained with Alo and I know how strong Alo is and against Alo it was um um very competitive round close and Alo did win against him but Henry did good job it’s um it’s gonna be challenge for me to fight Henry because um Henry is a good wrestler and he’s a good Striker it’s gonna be hard to take him down and uh keep a strike with him but I know I believe myself I can beat him and I don’t see any weakness uh and I respect him I know he’s he’s a good fighter and it’s gonna be hard fight for me only focus for win and that’s what I’m going to do February 17 hold on it froze oh you froze up a little bit got well Mor Rob with all with all due respect man that guy that guy Mor you’re you’re so respectful listen he’s got good wrestling he’s very game he’s got the problem he’s fighting you what is he G what is he going to hold you down you you’re a hard guy to hold down exactly man what is he gonna do beat you up standing nobody BL this is not the wrestling for the Olympics this ain’t wrestl this ain’t a wrestling match nobody nobody puts it together to feet to the floor like morab does Nobody Does it I don’t give a if he has a gold medal that’s what I’m saying what is he what is he gonna do to you is my question to you Jimmy what’s he gonna do to him I mean he’s GNA try to take Mor Rob down and if he does succeed marble get back up that’s where I see it that’s pretty that’s pretty tiring yeah let’s test who’s got a better gas tank my money’s on Mor Rob go mate I appreciate thank you yes yes that’s that’s also give me confidence I know that whatever you just tell me I know that and but you know I hear from you it gives you more confidence and I’m just gonna focus on me and I’m just gonna do me you know I’m just gonna pressure punch take down whatever even he takes me down I’m gonna get up and beat the out of him now would you Matt mentioned before you came on that it would be great if this was a five round fight even did you care if it was a three or five round fight or did you did you have no preference or what were you looking for yes uh like mat says a five round fight will be good and I’m still waiting I asked my manager if if they can change to five round if they can ask UFC to change five rounds fights if it’s possible yeah I prepare five round fights because I always training and sparing um more than five rounds and I know I don’t have this problem like I’m and I’m more comfortable five round fights you know like everybody said like last my fight you know you know I have cardos good cardio and then I can just uh I I will I will open more actually you know after three rounds and I I I will be more warm up and um I will do more more more more good stuff after three rounds so but let’s see even if it’s three rounds I mean uh whatever it is I’m just gonna fight hard yeah what what did you think of uh what do you think of om Ali and Cheeto um coming up as as as uh Sean’s First Defense H I was supposed to fight om Ali because as a number one Contender but yeah now he’s fighting number six Chitto Vera I understand for company maybe it’s it’s better or maybe stylistically it’s I think stylistically it’s a good match up for omali but I’m still not sure who’s gonna win this fight I think omali will win but Chito has also chance um yeah it’s GNA be good fight and uh I I will be there I will watch and uh after I will win against Henry seudo I’m sure I’m gonna fight winner of winner of this fight you deserve it for sure thank you hey Jimmy yeah I I brought up to Jimmy earlier morab I love we love your sense of humor I love your sense I can’t talk for Jimmy but I think he does also yes tell me about your video I’ve been watching your Instagram I love when you’re the last did you wake up you brush your teeth you go for a jog you drink some gasoline you see a pretty girl you jump you’re carrying a who’s coming up with that is that you are you with that yeah yeah so my friends told me you should make a you should make a like you like like M up like a one day video like one lifestyle video and then I started joking laughing like oh you want not me just running like you know I’m drinking like a GU I I start joke oh actually maybe we should do something you know and then yeah like some it came together and then yeah we was was joking first with my friends and uh and then yeah we we just did it it’s f it’s very funny I like it a lot like you gotta do more like that Mor I know you’re a funny guy I want the world to know how funny you are okay then thank you thank you mat actually I’m gonna post today like I like this positive and um yeah I’m gonna post more more like more I’m gonna create more video like that and I’m gonna how much time are you spending in Vegas now are you out there fulltime yeah it’s easier more more time I’m here you know because like less less cold like New York we know it’s prison and here it’s warm and ufcpi and sometimes we have a little injures and here ufcpi it’s um uh when you know like physical therapies and so much e and a training Partners you know like I have a lot of a lot of like small guys like the the UFC fighters and I’m more comfortable when I fight like high level guys like training sparing with them it’s it’s good and uh and I buy house here two years ago and then it’s a it’s a good beautiful house and very comfortable and uh and it’s like no traffic here and it’s it’s close Las Vegas you enjoying it you living the dream Mar you have a nice house you in your garage you have a nice little training area right yes yes you are living think about how many years ago you were doing the construction and you were still kicking ass but you were he was doing long days of breaking down houses and caring concrete dude you deserve to live like this my man you deserve it thank you M for everything yeah you know you know like we coming from long way but yeah exactly like right now uh I live in my dream and life is good and but I’m still I’m still trying to work hard and just U yeah build gym in my garage justtin because Justin Case in holidays gyms always close and I I always bring guys hey coming great oh you don’t you don’t take a week off for the holidays no no we can’t I mean I don’t know what Henry Hood was doing and I know he’s I mean he was already Olympic champion when I started training so so you know just my mentality you know I always respect my opponents and I yeah I’m sure my I mean I’m sure H is is training now and I I cannot take days off and uh just for my my mentally when I training every day I feel very comfortable and uh sometimes when I take day off let’s say Sunday I take off and it’s hard to sleep you know because every day I used to training hard and I have to work out I have to do something to sleep good so like even physically my body body is to it working hard and uh yeah I have to do something work hard and uh this way I feel mentally relaxed and physically tired and I can’t go sleep so you basically have energy every day and you’re like a balloon you have to squeeze every bit of energy out so you can go back to bed and you and you get that through through through through training and through running but if you don’t do that you’re still filled with all that energy yes yes exactly like you said if I don’t I don’t I don’t work out if I’m not get tired when I go bed and I sleep n doesn’t coming because I have a lot of energy and I’m like yeah I had to like I don’t know yeah my my sleep will be mess know if if I don’t I don’t work out every day do you go to shows or anything on the Strip how far are you from the actual strip in Vegas like 14 minutes um and uh yeah sometimes I go but I I enjoy my lifestyle like training and I have a good good friends like more MMA more MMA friends that I I hang out with them and you know I I try every day like training two times a day and um and uh I I I like I like this lifestyle you know and sometimes yeah I do go shows there is so many things going on in vas but I’m I’m enjoy like training and just watching MMA News and uh watching my friends Instagram how they work out how lifestyle goes even watch you guys some episodes or some know I have fun with this you know like this is this is fun this is interesting for me and um I don’t have to do anything extra crazy like something um you know I I love MMA and I I want to know more more more things and how other other professional fighters doing things and um that’s what I’m usually when I have a free time I watching podcast or I was listening interviews and I talk my family and uh yeah like this right can I point something out here morab how long have you been in the UFC now how long it’s more than six years remember when uh when when I win the Ringo comat title 2017 uh and I I fight 2017 December uh in first time UFC okay all right that’s a long time now in that time you have only two losses now if you look at those losses let me let me just get this out Frankie Frankie sinz I’m killing his last name signs signs yeah clearly Mor Rob won that fight even when he was getting over he had the flu and Sh I don’t give a he won that fight and the Ricky Simone obviously that was that was controversy he would have won he could easily we could be talking right now on his record it should easily it could be an undefeated fighter in the UFC yeah that’s what I’m talking about for the people that are listening to this and you just see the W’s and the L’s you see two eles look to those lves he could easily be undefeated so when you’re thinking you’re talking about Henry shudo oh he’s an Olympic this this and that we could be talking to a guy that’s been in the UFC for how long his morab has been with with no losses if you look into those losses I’m just saying yeah it is what it is you’re listen Mor Rob is never gonna to his own horn I gotta I’m pointing out you know look into it you know but anyway Mor Rob I’m sorry you deserve the belt uh a shot at the belt morab you deserve it um you know you have deserved it for quite a while I I think it would have been I get why they want to rematch Marlin with uh sha because they have that history and again I’ve told Matt too because you’re you’re in the Leon Edwards space where everyone deals with you only when they have to because you’re a very nice guy you don’t talk a lot of and you’re a nightmare like nobody wants to to fight you like people fight you when they finally have to fight you so I guess it’s a great compliment uh that no one is looking forward to signing uh to have to deal with you but that’s why you haven’t gotten that shot yet because you’re a nice guy and if they can avoid you they avoid you thank you thank you one more one more like we have one more Challenge and after this I think uh yeah I think yeah everything will be I mean everything will be how it has to be you know I think one more fight and and then I will fight um champion after take out shudo you cannot be denied cannot be denied yes all right morab we know you’re going to train um We’re Glad You Came on last question you fought I think once in uh 22 and once and 23 uh in a in a perfect world how many fights would you look to have this year uh perfect world will three fights will be good because like you now I’m fighting February I can fight um Summer by full time you know I would love to I would love to be busy you know and uh yeah I I yeah I would love to fight at least three fights in one year and now it’s gonna be good because I’m fighting in February like beginning of year and um yeah I just want to be busy and I I love enjoying training I train every day doesn’t matter what you know like even I’m I’m injured or where I’m going even I’m vacation I’m always running and I’m always trying to work out I’m always lifting or something if any I cannot do grappling and wrestling and um yeah I’m always trying to be in shape like you I tell you guys like I cannot even sleep if I don’t spend my energy so and uh yeah and let’s see all right buddy we’ll talk to you soon and uh stop drinking gasoline and uh keep doing what you’re doing we’ll talk to you soon Rob thank you Jim thank you thank you M for having me and have a good day and I appreciate it all right have a good one buddy good talking to you rob yeah of course [Music] bye and we have Tim Elliott shortly he’s not I don’t think he’s in the waiting room yet but he’ll be here uh momentarily such a nice guy Mor Rob he’s just you know how can anybody you can’t you can’t not like him the Great it’s funny yeah it is um and I’m also enjoying uh I’m looking forward to talking to Tim Elliot that was a short notice fight he took I think on 10 days uh against sumod dargi uh in December very very impressive it is it’s big that’s big for him you know it’s a big win you know and um he’s always exciting TI that’s the one he’s one of those I don’t want to just say Gra Ling Bas because he’s very good with the Striking but his grappling and his Styles it’s it’s it’s it’s it stands out you know it’s it’s a it’s kind of all over the place isn’t it wait hold on who would you compare his style to like he’s so interesting to watch because the way he moves like Dominick Cruz has very strange movements or like hard to figure out who would you compare him to it’s funny no no well he’s he’s kind of an he just feel like it says awkward MMA is that that’s why thinking about that that’s his Instagram awkward MMA because he’s a little awkward like he has like um his movements got to be hard to to mimic when you’re getting ready for a fight to get training Partners to really do what he does you know not like a morab like that Mor Rob’s morab puts things together like I said I seen morab go with guy straight wrestling that could be better than him with wrestling but then when they sparred with them he’d be getting them down so he Blends it together like no one he really he’s so he’s really he’s great at the uh strikes to take down and how much does that I mean again pseudo has cardio of course these all these guys do but how how frustrating is it to deal with a guy who comes into the second and the third exactly the same energy level as they started in the first I mean that that this that’s got to be a uh thing to have to deal with when you’re fighting listen a lot of everybody you know start strong sure’s gonna stay strong over the uh the course of the how many rounds you gotta fight so right that’s that’s what’s that’s what you got to work on every you got you gotta expect to feel that in the beginning you know who’s gonna fade first so you know shooting takedowns holding a guy down the guy gets back up that’s exhausting you got to make a guy work you know shudo goes out there gets a takedown early looks to stall what up yeah you like my point I do like your point all right Jimmy oh it looks like we have our next guest Tim Elliott yeah being shortly all right yeah Jimmy yes I’m watching um Reacher on Prime you ever watched Reacher no wasn’t that the movie with Tom Cruz played Jack Reacher oh there but it’s also I’m gonna ask Tim Elliot hi Tim Elliot hey Tim Tim do you ever watch the show Reacher with uh I don’t know Reacher I did on Amazon yeah yeah Prime it’s pretty good no yeah he headbutts a lot of guys I like that he does he elbows them the fight scenes are pretty cool you know sometimes they got the girls doing a little like ah like grabbing a guy’s wrist which is really silly but well when that guy grabs somebody and throws them and they go flying it’s believable because he’s a giant he is he’s a big dude man there was a rumor I’m G about to get geeky here that they said that he wanted to play Batman but he’s too big to play Batman I feel yeah sorry Jimmy Jimmy am I embarrassing you no not at all I don’t know who who what’s his name Allan Richardson yeah I have no I have no idea who he is he’s from Reacher man no I know I don’t watch it though you know man I don’t watch a lot hey had fighting scenes in TV and movies since MMA is such a prevalent thing in the country have they gotten any better or more realistic like are guys actually having professionals show them how to make certain moves or are they just as awful as they always were take it Tim man I don’t know like I I was always a vanam fan so that was one of the reasons I got into fighting so uh I don’t know I try to base a lot of my stuff off of what they do in movies so it’s hard for me to to Really judge that uh I don’t know I it’s hard to say what a work in a fight and what won’t you don’t really know until you get in there so so yeah you know what’s cool though when they do use Real Techniques because I was while I was playing my VR I could still like look out of the my the botom of it so I’m playing it was Sunday at the Sarah household and everybody’s household yesterday anyway it was a lazy Sunday yesterday so we’re all playing my VR and my wife and my my teenage daughter are doing a John Wick Marathon was Marathon which is pretty cool so they’re on the second one and I was just thinking about this you brought up the fight scenes some really nice jiujitsu shout out to the Machado Brothers pretty sure it was higin Machado that worked with canu Reeves canu yeah kananu because he was doing modified clock chokes he had a guy in a triangle I’m like oh then he shoots the guy in the face with a triangle I oh I guess he I guess he doesn’t have to grab his ankle Tim I don’t know you got a gun I guess it was so cool it reminds me of Ages ago when I when I first heard about Jiu-Jitsu and like oh my goodness they were using it in Lethal Weapon but um M Mel Gibson Gibson yeah verus Gary Bucy and then I I found out that it was the uh horon Gracie and Hoy they did the the the the fight the fight work in that show in that movie you know the fight what’s the word with the choreography I can’t pronounce it Tim I can’t I’m sorry to say that choreography that’s not bad how did he finish him in that does anybody remember triangle was a triangle yeah well he actually finished him with a gun him and yeah Danny Glover yeah Glover but he did have him in a triangle yeah which I thought was cool you know anyway now Tim you uh it’s funny I I I don’t cook I can’t cook for the only thing I’ve ever done was I don’t remember how it came to be but Gordon Ramsey had me make his eggs and post the video I made Gordon Ramsey scrambled eggs and they were actually really good but that’s the only time I’ve ever actually cooked and you what is your relationship with him like and how did it start man I would really call it a relationship it was weird uh years ago when I think when I first got into the UFC it had to be 2012 or 2013 they had a a UFC fighter Summit where they would bring all the fighters in to a nice hotel I think this one was at at Red Rocks and uh you know they brought in every contracted fighter and we were just in Vegas for that and I tweeted something about his restaurant like saying the food was good but I talk about the chairs because everybody like set up at the table and it was a bunch of flyweights and like the tables came up to our chest so we felt like smaller people than what we you know what we are so I I just tweeted something about it and then uh he tweeted back that he would take care of it and then the next time I went in there all the chairs were different so that was a long long time ago and then uh one of my exes brother was dating a girl that worked on uh Hell’s Kitchen with him and she was like oh Gordon rams’s a fan of yours and I always watch him when I’m cutting weights U Hotel Hell is my favorite one like he he’s like kind of an to the guys and I I don’t know it’s by far the best one in my opinion um but he uh he was already following me on Instagram whenever she told me that so then I started messaging him and I always tell him I have two tickets for him at every event but I mean the guy’s on TV every day so he usually just says oh sorry I’m in this part of the country but I’ll be rooting you on or whatever some stupid like that have now do you C do you actually like to cook because I’m thinking if fighters who cook it’s got to be such an advantage to be able to make what you really want healthy uh it’s very hard to eat healthy and keep it interesting I don’t really like to but I do I also have a daughter but man I make it easy I have a insta pot and an air fryer like and I can do everything with that my my daughter’s really easy she don’t e a ton of meat but uh vegetables and fruits are no proba to get her to eat so uh you know instapot and air fryer if you don’t know how to cook or don’t like to cook that’s what I do we day I used to have a George Foreman grill yes and I used to put just like turkey meat with nothing on it man it was so dry as I don’t know thank God my wife could cook I suck at cooking yeah sorry guys I’m basically just talking out loud about me not being able well does the air fryer work cuz we I got one for Christmas like well over a year ago and I haven’t used it um but does it actually make food taste like it’s fried it’s actually worth doing it’s the best man I I feel like I should have a job for whatever air fryer I mean they’re always different ones but I pretty much buy one every time I go to Vegas because I cook my own food during camp but uh I should I should work for them on the sales team I’ve uh so many people I’ve sold the air fryer to and them tell me like oh man I love it and uh it’s just easy so for like it makes food that you put in the microwave actually tastes good like I don’t like mic Foods because I think it’s a microwave though like a microwave burrito thought out and put in the air fryer is amazing it’s it changes everything yeah maybe I’ll start using it’s just kind of sitting there like a decoration it was a good friend that gave it to me so I was like I can’t get rid of it but I can’t cook and my wife doesn’t feel like learning it but um so you don’t take up counter space though a lot of it yeah it’s huge but again I here’s a problem Tim as I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten man tits and side fat so I I have to sacrifice the counter space to be able to eat a little bit healthier yeah that’s true hey hey Tim when you’re not you’re not fighting I know you spend so a lot of time with your daughter obviously what what are some things you like to do whether it’s a a movie you seen or a uh a series you’re watching books you’re either reading or listening to that counts yeah tell me anything man uh I do a lot of like eight-year-old kid stuff I’m a I like to be U well now I’m doing my camps away from my daughter so I was going to leave today actually to head back to Texas but it started snowing so I’m not going to drive in the snow but uh so that’ll give me a few more days with my kid but man I do a lot of kids stuff like she’s into gymnastics and she does some Jiu-Jitsu she does flag football softball soccer so whatever she’s into um that’s kind of what I try to be into even if I’m not a fan of it we or doing soccer drills and stuff like that but I like to hunt and fish and play with guns and shoot and you know do that kind of uh prepare for the apocalypse that’s coming uh oh you’re ready yeah well no I don’t know if I’m ready but that was just something we always screwed around with as kids and I always kind of kept that as an adult I still clean my guns even though they don’t get used because I store ammo now instead of shooting it used to have a bunch of ammo was easy to shoot and find uh now not so much just in case you want to be ready now let me ask you have you ever gone camping alone uh yeah I don’t know if I’d call it camping I’ve uh I’ve definitely spent a few nights outside um but no man I especially now I have a kid if I’m going camping she’s coming with me how old is she she’s eight oh okay do you dislike soccer I hate it and in high school I hated it I can’t watch it I like watching her play because a bunch of eight-year-old girls running into each other so you know that’s funny um but she’s really fast so that helps but boy she you know hand eye coordination it’s not her strong suit but she could run outrun everybody and run into kids and then you know she does she’s like that person on the team that’s cute I feel as long as they’re doing something something they enjoy you know she likes to do things that’s her thing it doesn’t she’s not like crazy about any one thing but like she wants to have something to do and you know she she’s a great kid man she’s so easy she plays by herself she eats great she’s kind and polite like she’ll smartass me because she knows I’m not gonna do anything to her but like if anybody else tells her to do anything she’s on it you know she’ll tell me go myself but she knows I’m not gonna I’m on her side no matter what but she knows that yeah she’s uh she’s she’s just I don’t ever have to tell her really to do anything she’s just good it’s nice when you’re away at least you got the FaceTime and stuff like that you know you can zoom and you know that’s important and she could do all that better than I can so yeah all the technology yeah isn’t it weird like this generation and maybe the ones who are a little older like they grew up every minute of their life they’re on camera because they’re communicating with people they’re on Instagram it’s like they’re aware of a public Persona every minute of their life like whereas you and I had choices growing up and and like for them it’s like I’m going to be public and every single minute they know is a public moment to some extent it’s wild do I mean I don’t I think I had a pager at one point in middle school and high school so I could relate really yeah it’s crazy it is crazy to think that there’s a there’s a lot of pressure where you know that you know like you’re so used to communicating publicly uh it’s like there’s so many ways to make mistakes I I think there’s a lot of pressure with that man I’m glad I got to be a idiot until I was like 30 before any of that stuff came along before everybody had a camera in their pocket yeah it’s wild that Tim could live off the land I’d be like that that half a hippie in that movie when when we were wild or whatever the it was when he killed the bear and it went no he killed he killed a elk he killed something and then the meat went bad and then he died he ate a wrong Berry and he died in the bus true story yeah that would be me you know I’d be eating the wrong berries i’ I’d kill something there’s no mic away for me I’m like ah I’d have some I’d have a hard time Tim I look for a guy like you be like hey dude I’ll help you dude I’ll be the muscle let’s get some in line man but you you know you cook it yeah I wouldn’t say I’m good at any of that I just I would like to be better uh I mean I don’t know pretty much everything I’m doing now is like to try to to be a better dad and you know even being a better fighter has got put on the back burner a little bit but then you know now I just got a contract and a raise it’s back to like now it’s going to be better for my daughter if I go back to Camp so now we’re going back to Camp how many fights they gave me four and then I just fought one of one of that so three left on and they gave me a raise and a bonus nice what did you have 10 days for Sumari no I went so I went to Texas and trained for two days and they called me that Monday night and asked if I could fight in February I said yes and they said well what about December 10th and I was like yeah and then they were like what about or whatever day and then they were like what about this weekend I said yes to all three and I think that’s the reason why I got the raise and because it was all for Sue it would have been you know they were saying like Sue doesn’t want to make weight twice in two weeks and I don’t blame him plus they gave us 135 so it was good it was one of those times where I helped them out and it really worked out my favor it doesn’t always work that way yeah it’s it’s a risk guys have taken short notice fights and wind up hurting themselves or you know it is is a risk but well it sucks for Sue because I’ve been on the other position of that they kind of forced him into a fight it wasn’t the he had it wasn’t his fault that uh that that dude pulled out that naso pulled out so sue did everything right was there ready to fight was ready to make weight his opponent pulled out they gave him a new opponent they forced him you know you you backed into a corner at that point like they want you to fight and if you don’t fight then you know it doesn’t look good on you so I’ve been on the other side of that too where I was forced into a fight that I didn’t necessarily want to take because my opponent got hurt or something so I felt uh some sympathy towards Sue as well because I know what it’s like for me everything worked out perfect but for him like everything went wrong and you know it wasn’t his fault well imagine you have to do a last minute game plan for Tim Elliott you’re like ah ah dude that Rubik’s cube of a fighter that’s going to be rough man because it’s like yo not only is not not saying it’s in a in a I’m not saying you’re not normal but not only if you you a kind of a regular fighter who has a he’s got such a a style that it’s you know you you know you say yourself award MMA I’m telling you man you got that Herky jerky and your shooting you it’s a style like all to your own man like and that’s a compliment so that’s a hard guy to get ready for if you give you if you give yourself a eight-week camp if you got to do that in like 10 days or whatever it was that’s crazy that’s rough man it’s a tall order yeah and I mean the guy he was fighting was a jiujitsu guy through and through so like the game plan was easy keep a standing and beat him up on the feet like that’s to go from fighting a Jiu-Jitsu guy to fighting a wrestler is you know that sucks in itself and they had their whole Camp was kind of that way U Josh imtt had a quick change around fight with Bryce Mitchell so Team Alpha Male had two fights like that back toback with Suma dar’s guy getting hurt and then Bryce Mitchell stepping in you uh your style like Matt it’s so hard to deal with for guys it’s it’s really hard to train for because there’s so few guys that move like you is that just the natural way you’ve always fought or was there something you were doing where you’re like this I I don’t want to be predictable and you consciously made an effort to make it so different oh man I kind of had a different style at first and I would go to gyms and they would they would tell me like hey man like you got to do this and like be more traditional like they they wouldn’t tell me like everything I was doing was not Trad traditional so like all the coaches were like oh don’t do that and then uh the first time I trained with James krauss’s coach at the time Brian Davidson and James uh his coach was like Hey man if you’re gonna do this and this like you also have to do this and this like in order to not get kicked in the head so he didn’t tell me anything I was doing was wrong he was just trying to add to uh what I was already doing so at that point I started to to change and and just do my own thing and have fun because like there’s no wrong way to punch somebody in the face like it all hurts getting hit in the nose so you know it may not be technically right as far as boxing goes but we’re not boxing right and it’s also look he so basically it was just kind of showing you hey you’re leaving yourself open to a b and c by doing this so instead of changing everything you’re doing let’s just fix a b and c and how you protect yourself right exactly hey Tim now listen new contract it’s going great so far with it many years from now when you do walk away from the cave what do you plan on doing do you have any uh any plans for that and I was hoping to have like uh I have a couple properties right now but hopefully I have enough real estate to where I can just live on my own farm and have animals and vegetables and you know I just want to live a quiet life alone nice that’s nice yeah jimm Jimmy I get crazy alone though I’m not good by myself well I don’t mean alone alone I just you know I don’t need a I don’t need much I just I want to have my space and you know I don’t I don’t have that yet and ideally with the you know things keep going right with the UFC I’ll have enough money where I can sustain that the goal is just have a little farm and and retire I’ve never done anything else I went to school for years and then got two degrees and then went straight into fighting I’ve never had I’ve never worked a regular job or anything if I could go my whole life and keep saying that like that’s uh that’s a big goal of mine so a win yeah what are the degrees in uh I have a bachelor’s in science and General Studies and a bachelor’s in environmental industrial health and safety like OSHA training is that gonna help you in farming or is that totally different no and even if I wanted a job and any of that I would have to go back to school it’s all certification based but I had like eight years of college and I’m not a doctor W yeah Jimmy Jimmy why would you think the ocean training has nothing to do with the F he said oia I didn’t know if that was the same thing it did sound like water though but I’m like you didn’t say ocean what’ you say oia like uh like construction safety type stuff oh oh now I sound like the idiot no not at all M because I thought it was ocean based too I didn’t knowa what oan was I’m a idiot too yeah we both are off oh Scuba Steve I’m school dropout I can hardly swim yeah you know I’m from Kansas there’s no oceans there’s hardly any lakes yeah get swim dude you could fight let me tell you Tim Elliot with your style a lot of guys they have to be knockout guys to be uh fan favorites like Justin gatei Dustin porier you are like a fan favorite and it’s and it’s a grappling base so it’s pretty not that you can’t throw but that that’s that that’s pretty cool so congrats on that I always enjoy when you’re on the C Tim thank you man I’ve been lucky I’ve I’ve had some really good coaches uh in the past and and right now in the present so I’ve always been really lucky in that since that I’ve I’ve found a home with a good coach and uh that’s pretty much where it comes from yeah well Tim look look forward to you fighting again congrats on that win that was such a great fight and a great win for you and and the new contract that’s awesome that’s really awesome so that gives me a few more years in the game at least yeah we’ll see you soon Tim and I can’t wait to see you next fight all right thank you guys [Music] thanks Jimmy you know I think about uh what Tim just said when he said that uh if he can go the rest of his life without having a real job yeah you win Jimmy ready winning yes winning look at me look at me don’t no no don’t be humble look at me take your glass now you can leave your glasses on I want to leave on why am I tell why would I tell you to take your glasses off why I don’t know because you want to spare me that’s you’re just a mean you’re a cruel

this best is I remember sitting on Longo was sitting on the on the on the ring and he’s like ah just just want to I just don’t want this to end and you know it never really did end so when we were fighting yeah like kept doing what we’re doing like he’s still doing it now at 65 I’m now that I’m not fighting anymore but I’m still teaching jiujitsu I don’t feel even though I taught two classes I
