Michael Chandler joins Din Thomas and Julianna Peña on After TUF to recap Episode 6 that included Conor McGregor pushing …
he’s done it again he’s been a little bit more distance between himself and the rest of the pack I’m right here Sean I can do it [Music] thank you [Music] welcome to UFC unfiltered I was talking to about matsara earlier today actually as I was training and they were singing your Praises I was learning kimura’s we have Robert Whittaker today and we also have um Nico price making his seventh appearance on the show I can’t believe he’s been on so many times but I was doing good morning you were at henzo’s yes I was at henzo Gracie’s and I was uh he was uh he was showing me how to do a like from side control a Kimura and he was just telling me how to clamp down with my knees um and stay close like don’t lift up but stay close when you get it so you don’t give anybody space and he said you he was showing me how to do it it was really uncomfortable and he said you should see Matt when he does it it’s like a cement truck like you’re just not moving he was talking about the pressure you applied yeah you’re gonna learn how to distribute all your weight correctly you know you don’t want to be light as a feather you want to be a heavy little bird now you want to make yourself you’re gonna you’re gonna perch normally kidding you’re gonna you’re gonna you’re gonna rest your weight all your weight on that limb yeah I was going over stuff today getting out of s Mount I don’t know if you know what s Mount is I do not know he’s mounted and let’s say I get on my side which I shouldn’t to escape and also they Slide the knee into my head exposing my back one leg’s up one needs behind my head so I was using framework pop a framework to escape to go escape from s Mount into Asha garami which is a leg lock attack it was fun Jimmy we did that all morning I had 30 people in my morning class today that’s a pretty good amount what time is your morning class 7 A.M Jimmy same here at uh at henzo’s and I wish I could make it but I’m on I’m off this week but I’m on the air by eight so I there’s no way for me to do it because the class doesn’t insulate yeah well you know for that early here in Long Island we gotta I today we had 30 people on the mat which is nice it’s a lot amen even though I didn’t roll today but I swear I’m showing these moves I’m sweating melting I love it so that’s the way to start today Jimmy that is yeah it really is um and if I was able to do it I hate putting my glasses on I don’t want to look like a nerd oh no you got to do that yeah what an incredible card um and we could talk about the uh the Sean Strickland fight uh in a little bit uh that was also a a uh a great fight and a really good car but this uh coming up he looked great against Mega Madoff uh second round stoppage but let’s bring in uh Nico price who is fighting uh a legend in uh Robbie Lawler it’s the main fight of the prelims it’s Robbie Lawler’s yeah lawyer fight which is yes he is this final fight yeah [Music] thank you oh there it is all right awesome oh man dude you look like you’re coming down you look like Italian Terminator right there I don’t know what I’m looking at I like there he is what’s up buddy how you doing man dude you are fighting Bobby Lawler and Robbie moeller’s retirement fight now what does that mean to you oh it’s a blessing man it’s a gift from God you know like I’m stoked I get to like not say welcome to retirement you know but like you know I’ve been talking about fighting Robbie since I was like 18 years old I was like dude what if one day we get to fight Rob and then yep my last email was hey Robbie Lawler is like yes that I think they’re doing this because they want his last fight to be exciting so they need the right dance partner for his his send-off now yeah you’re definitely the right guy for that now are you comfortable that we know that Robbie Laurel is one of the nicest most respected people in the sport are you comfortable trying to beat his ass and send them off into could you sleep at night do it yeah I can man you know it’s good because it was like when I was gonna fight uh Donald you know I fought one Legend now I get to fight another I’m stoked isn’t it crazy even if Robbie’s losses he’s had a few losses uh as of late but it doesn’t matter every fight is just a nightmare for whoever he’s fighting there’s never an easy fight he never goes down quietly it’s never like just a cruising decision it’s always a brawl so you know no matter what happens it’s going to be a really tough fight oh we’re swinging we’re going in there to swing put it that way I know that you know but like you said no one else has had an easy fight with me either right so they wanted to see some fireworks so they knew who to get the dance like you said the right dance partner for that one and when you look at a guy like you said Cowboy or when you look at Robbie these these Legends of the sport do you kind of look like hey I get to share this experience with him you know you want to win the fight but is that how you’re able to do it like I’m sharing this this cage with this Legend and the only way to really honor him is to fight him as hard as you can exactly if I go in there and just lay down that ain’t a gift that’s not nothing you know like I’m gonna go in there and get him everything I got you know I left my family for five weeks this Camp uh yeah I came out here uh me and my head coach boxing coach we came out the train with a Jordan not human Newman and uh Duke Rufus and uh Ben Astron you know I came out here to get some new knowledge in all fields and uh yeah dude I’m I’ve put my I put my soul into this fight I’m ready how is it training with Ben I saw a photo of you guys on Instagram he’s funky man he’s good it’s it’s true and the funny thing is we can smile the whole time we’re doing it you know like and then he broke me down he broke down my style he broke down where he thinks I can get better and everything it’s cool it was this great learning experience so I had a blast Ben’s a great dude and he’s got a new hip I believe right he’s got that new hip and is he grappling is he oh yeah he’s grappling hard too we were going we went at it for like the the first time we probably got about 30 40 minutes in and then the second time we got about an hour hour and a half Street it’s not gonna ever happen so I don’t know why I’m saying it but I would love to see a bed ask her invite Jake Paul in MMA world no one with that one it would never happen ever but that would be fun though what it is a poor Ben because the guys that know they know yeah I know but like he had some of his best best MMA years just overseas dismantling people and then when he got he had the one fight with Robbie which was controversial a little bit and it was wrong but I mean I don’t know I just feel that that guy had he’s got such a fun funky Style Hey listen you seen it you’ve seen it up close yeah no this style is it’s it’s very similar to mine just a lot more wrestling I’m more like a jiu jitsu based Grappler um so he has more like wrestling hips get-ups transitions so it was cool to learn that part because I like I learned more as I roll with you so as I roll you all learn how to adapt to the style that you are and um yeah so like the first time we rolled with them I was I didn’t know what was going on second time it was a lot better you know like I could understand this movements and stuff you know how it is and Jimmy knows too because Jimmy now is training at the henzo Gracie New York City Academy I just started when you’re talking about that I know I know I have a very white belt but I I do I I love it though and it’s exhausting I had to today while I was rolling boy that’s the worst feeling on Earth [Laughter] you put someone in a triangle yeah that’s a problem hey when you uh fighting a guy like like Robbie who again you’re saying that you’ve been a fan for so long so you’ve probably seen all of this fight when you how do you handle something like this do you go back do you watch everything again now with a different eye uh because you’re looking at how am I gonna finish this guy or or do you kind of go well I’ve already seen what he does well I’m like like you said I I’ve seen a lot of this um but then yes we do go back and we break down where I see I I think I capitalize on where I can get it done with you know with a different kind of a different lens you go and look at it yes um sorry Jimmy I was gonna say with all the camps out there what made you want to go out and visit Rufus in them uh just my buddy out here Jordan he’s a southpaw so he got a lot of Southpaw look with him sparring he’s a really high high level wrestler um Jordan Newman and uh he’s a beast so I got to work with him he’s young Thundercat he’s like 27 or 26 and he just is pressure National Champion wrestler Beast so I got to go I got to work with him a lot and he pretty much fights like Robbie he fights in Bellator at 185. uh he’s fixing oh no I think yeah excuse me so yeah he’s a little he’s a monster so I got to do a lot of work for him and we’ll be doing it’s funny because he’s like me when I was 26. it was like uh like and even if we’re doing drills we’re sparring he’s like oh we do an hour drills and and five rounds five 500 rounds of sparring but it’s no it’s the whole hour and a half of just sparring this guy it’s a great time Nico I think you’re a gun kind of guy that has a hard time sitting still do you I don’t see you like just lounging around on the couch or do you I think you’re always out doing something are you a guy that’s fidgety and hard to sit still and do this you like moving I like moving yes if I’m sitting down most of the times rest days or I’m resting in between a session yes you know but uh since we’ve been here we’ve been at the gym three three times a day you know I had to get a gym membership at a at another gym just to keep us busy yeah you know rented a car we drove everywhere driving all over Milwaukee how do you like Milwaukee do you like it no I like Florida yeah I I did a little fishing yesterday but it’s it’s totally it’s not Florida fishing I got a my first smallmouth bass which spit in my hand and then I caught a bluegill so it wasn’t the the biggest the funnest thing for me but is what can you do about a pencil fishing pole so man you’re used to Florida it ain’t fun unless you’re worried about getting your ankle bitten by a alligator right yeah that’s what I was telling I got so funny I just blocked I was like I don’t even have to worry about moccasins out here this is awesome right those things no poisonous spiders no uh no Gators I’m staying in New York man have you have you seen Gators while you were fishing out here yeah no no Florida eating my fish off my hook ah dude I was pulling in a peacock bass off the alley and this Gator came up and grabbed the bass and then I’m now fighting a gator I’m like what the heck uh did he wind up taking the fish oh yeah he took the fish and my lure it was a six dollar lure too so when you’re standing like you’re standing by a lake or wherever you’re fishing you literally have to watch out that they don’t creep up and just and grab you while you’re standing there right oh 100 I was standing on a rock once I was about four feet high I think the gator could jump that high but they they sort of can um and I’m fishing I’m fishing and I just hear the water moving I looked down it was a gator getting trying to get up the Rock at me I’m like what but that’s terrifying it’s not that bad but if you’re out in the wild and you’re fishing it’s got to be scary if you know this thing is not trying to bite me like this thing is trying to kill me like this thing will drag me underwater and drown me that’s a terrifying uh you know if you’re getting bit by a piranha that sucks but this thing is trying to drag you underwater and drown you plan on losing something broken I guess so yeah you know losing foot or he’s gonna break the angel and you quit uh in our prep it says that you quit smoking marijuana how long ago did you quit and what was your reason for it did you just not want to do it anymore yeah I just felt convicted by God to stop smoking so I was like I was sitting out there one day I was I took a huge rip of my bong and then I was like why am I doing this and then I just just stopped I was like yeah I’m done with this quit it oh wow did you like do it so much where it wasn’t even affecting you anymore pretty much that too and then I started like realizing I was spending a lot of time away from my kids just trying to get Hi and then I was like no I didn’t go there I got six kids now so I gotta keep them little them little termites freaking busy you know and if they see me doing that they’re gonna turn into doing that then I don’t want that to happen you know I don’t want them to ever have to rely on something like that so I just changed it was divorce overnight decision and how long have you been doing this uh how long have you been on the wagon with that I started smoking when I was 24 when I started having seizures I thought it would help uh I realized really quick that it didn’t help people say it does and this but for me it didn’t so like they say it prolongs them or it stops them but I had them while I was high before so I was like yeah this that was just yeah I’m done with it yeah man you don’t need that yeah maybe Jesus maybe I’ll get a memo from Jesus too keep my thumbs my lungs nice and strong yeah you are still fighting man you’re fighting don’t worry about the devil’s lettuce when you’re fighting you just worry about people yeah man worry about decapitating people hey do you have any more is your cardio any different now have you noticed a difference since you quit you know I’m not I’m not going out to Vegas we leave tomorrow morning at eight eight a.m oh you’re flying out and do you like fight week it’s very busy it’s crazy you like it out there during fight week I don’t really like Vegas I like fighting in Vegas I love like the people at the venue and stuff but I don’t like just walking around in Vegas it’s not my it’s not my style I like Woods I like Lakes I like fishing um not really big on walking into a club and doing nothing and dancing and stuff like that you’re not a big city person yeah hey dude I can see that man like I don’t know dude you’re not gonna get me in a swamp I’m freaked out by everything even like little funky spiders the other day I was sleeping in my lounge right at my school you would have made it a pet but I had a big spider cricket on me I’m like oh get the out of his house it looked like Jurassic Park I felt like when I killed it I felt like it was murdered I catch snakes I catch Gators I catch fish you catch anything I can catch pretty much man you don’t get freaked out if you’re uh bees freak me out they don’t they don’t bother you if they’re buzzing around you can handle it done not not all the time depends if it’s a hornet yeah I’ll kill the Hornets I’ll get them out of there yeah but like honeybees or nothing or something like that if they bite me it’s whatever I’ll just get off you know get out of here yeah I think they kill themselves when they do that though the honeybees right they sting you don’t they kill themselves yeah it pops on the stair comes out yeah yeah all right here you go well Nico look you’re always always uh exciting to have on uh on a card and what a fight this is it’s the it’s the main fight of the prelims um this is probably gonna be a brawl with Robbie Lawler you know he’s fighting to go out in style and I know you you want to make his last fight very memorable for a bad reason for him you want to go out on top so good luck on a Saturday night man this is a great fight and uh thanks for coming on this is your seventh time on the show it’s always great talking to you yeah thank you so much man it’s a blessing again um all glory to God I just want to say thank you to everybody who helped me out here flow grown Florida boys yeah have a great fight man all right Nico talk to you soon take care buddy all right take care man God bless y’all thanks Nico that’s great [Music] foreign Robert Whitaker will be here shortly this uh dracus duplessy fight is very very exciting and what a great card this is Matt um I guess we can do our picks on uh Wednesday we don’t have to do them right now but we should also uh a nice shout out to Sean Strickland uh uh uh a boost Mega made off what a great second round uh knockout that was a mega made of looks so good in that first round um heavy leg kicks uh he was very aggressive and Sean is just such a veteran and such a smart fighter just using the jab using the jab and in the second round you could see that uh Mega Madoff was definitely uh mouth was open he was tired and uh you know Strickland was just Relentless and he has such good instincts he doesn’t seem to waste a lot of energy throwing punches uh who do we just watch who’s uh Josh salmon when you watch a guy like Josh Abbott right he throws all these big booming punches where if they connect he’s Gonna Knock You Out of the cage but I think he uses so much energy doing that and Strickland doesn’t seem to waste any energy um and but when he when he has you up against the cage and he knows you’re in trouble you’re in trouble so he finished him in the second round and he looked really really good and Grant Dawson a grueling fight over uh damir azmagulov uh who was really they were speaking so highly about him before and uh Grant Austin just looked incredible and that was a a grueling grueling uh decision now listen Jimmy kids nowadays they don’t know what abracastella was I wish I didn’t [Laughter] hold on I’m live here Jimmy you know it’s funny because the way you have your mic when you’re laughing people can’t hear you laughing it’s Mike on the computer so the sound just cuts out so they probably just think that you’re staring if they’re not watching it they think you’re just staring at me I’m laughing too loud um well back in the day it was a people Google all the kids out there Google uh Abbott and Costello yeah well Costello would get a little scared he’d go hey I bet yeah you’re in my rhymes with Emmett anyway let me ask you are you uh what are you doing for the fourth uh it’s gonna be a nice chill day at the Saras you know what I mean oh it’s nice yeah we’re gonna hang out take a day off of the school you know and just have my in-laws come over oh that’s nice husband go in the backyard jump in the pool play a little cornhole you know I do not know it’s basically it’s like a little bean bag and you gotta throw it in the board with the hole in it oh sure yeah yeah sounds like something dirty that you would do it really does yeah be careful playing cornhole you lose a fingernail yeah oh by the way uh uh uh Morales uh over Max Griffin what again I thought that was the uh fight of the night uh what a what a great great fight uh Max Griffin is the fact that he survived that is insane uh he was having everyone else’s 15-0 and he was having a very hard time uh covering the distance uh and closing distance but just max is as tough as they come and congratulations to Morales Max I’m sorry what was Max Payne’s single that I liked I don’t remember but I remember talking to him about it and I remember you liking it but I don’t remember I seem to remember me singing it I probably blocked that out I believe I blocked that out yeah our producer’s gonna have it pop up right on the screen I would hope he doesn’t Max Payne Max Griffin Bane yeah Max Payne Griffin he has a song that I believe it’s called come on producers I’m trying to draw I’m drum taking my time with this so you pop up oh I know what it’s called what I remember who Let The Dogs Out no Jim I think you’re being silly because you know that from the Baha boys I believe right I don’t remember I remember that song and I didn’t care for it if you want the truth all right that song was rough you know but I used to always Park when I go um yeah my producer oh you’re stumped the producer’s stumped well let me see apparently there’s no let’s see Max Payne single hold on let me let me just try this it’s weird producer got stumped hold on let’s see but you’re not producing me what either the results I want let’s see if Jimmy can find it uh let’s see that uh called uh not the Luna’s uh MPG oh that’s back pain was pissed about book oh no hold on I’m looking for his song you know it if you SoundCloud hold on I’ll click to SoundCloud it’s very slow it’s not going I would like to throw Jake under the bus but I don’t know if I can because my I’m having a hard time getting to his uh I remember singing it and I want this guy had a rough fight he hung in there he deserves some people who this download is single you know everybody this is what I wanted to do you do the research is it bulletproof no I don’t think so bang bang I don’t think so oh no that’s Griffin Oscar I I put Max hold on all right well listen and now this is gonna drive me nuts because I liked it and uh if I I feel like if I heard the sound if I heard the name of it I could just break right into song so as I’ve said before on this show that ship has sailed let’s move it yeah all right all right not knocking out fool all right no I can’t remember I couldn’t find anything we did try but Matt uh Maxwell he lost the fight um Morales clearly won but that was just uh an incredible uh effort and and a great uh I love when somebody like even when they lose the fight when it’s when it’s just a three-round war like that and you just can’t put them away uh great fight so congratulations to Morales um yeah I’m looking at the uh up uh ahead to the uh well first of all Kevin Lee had a hard time though by the way he was on our fight on our yeah our show last week and uh you know that a knot is uh that guy is we found him on Dana White looking for a fight 21-1 yeah and we weren’t even like looking like for a guy around 30 years old but I remember him being like I’m not looking Dana’s like we’re a younger guy and he just went out there and uh smoked someone so you know we got him on and now look at him now he’s doing phenomenal so good good for a knot and Kevin Lee you know happens man what’s up you didn’t really get the show too much because he got taken out but you know hopefully we get to see him again in there man because you know that was a little uh you know it’s a shame you know he got caught yeah yeah thumbs I’m thumbs up hey Matt you know why oh the great Robert Whittaker is in the I almost said the dressing room he’s in the waiting room are you sure so please bring him in Jake when you have a second [Music] hello sir how are you he’s either very stoic or he’s he’s Stellar because he he’s lonely it froze with him holding his chest like hello yes he looks very regular yeah Robert okay what’s up man uh not much might just sign him all cruising are you still doing that did you do the video games I’m looking at your setup there I don’t know where you are now but did you do the um online stuff before yeah yeah I’ve done online stuff like this is just a headset like a gaming headset oh it’s not a game anytime I look at anything I think it has to do with anything that’s what you’re dealing with I’m like oh what kind of headsets that but are you not doing that anymore or are you oh it turned up a lot of time to stream so I don’t know I don’t go live that often anymore just because I just don’t have time mate um yeah well I still I still play video games no I hate you can’t can’t stop that where are you now you still home no no I’m I’m in Vegas I’m in the New York New York hence the the lovely purplish tint to my complexion right now oh okay yeah because I was wondering when did you fly in and what is the time difference to home to here a couple days ago we did time differences uh what is it 48 hours maybe I don’t know nothing like it’s it’s sizable enough that we have to come early enough to to adjust and climatize properly well I’m glad you’re here because I was looking at the background and I was like I have to remember Robert’s house being a lot nicer and what happened but down the size of my tough times and uh duplessy is looked really really uh solid how do you I mean you’ve approached everybody the same I’m sure but when you get a guy like this and you know that you are you have the Target on your back and you’re the guy he’s probably been watching for a long time and he’s this guy this highly touted up and coming Fighter um do you approach him any differently than you would approach someone like Izzy uh or or anybody like uh you know who you fought before who was kind of a bit of a higher rank yeah not necessarily but uh I will say with a stipulation that preparing for easies obviously much much different to anybody else just because of the the range he has the height he has and the ability like his kickboxing skill set like you have to approach that bite differently um but generally says speaking but the camps are the same the works a lot of the same my coaches are the ones I watch a lot of the tape and they make the changes and manipulate the training to to cater to my next opponent but you know we look at our opponents and we we say to ourselves like what would what would they be training to try and beat me and then we start working on those laws holes gaps or anything um or anything like that just to make sure so so you know with with uh rukus he’s he’s a tough dude he’s hungry he has nothing to lose you know he’s riding momentum right now he’s he’s going to make this a dog fight he wants to make it a dog how does he beat me he makes it a dog fight wears me out scraps it up makes it ugly pushes takedowns tries to land bombs in close that’s how he beats me but uh so so with that knowledge that’s what I’ve been training you know I’ve been training to be the dog in the fight and uh yeah I look forward to it you know um this is one of the fights that I don’t know I just feel like there’s a lot of honor to be gained in this fight he’s a pretty respectful guy he does doesn’t doesn’t speak a lot of as in speaker I spoke a lot of negativity towards me like we’re just going in there as two Warriors gonna leave it all there and just you know put on a good day’s work and he was I’m sorry Jimmy going into your second fight what is he I mean it was very I mean whenever you’re facing somebody that finished you it it’s it’s a weird thing you know what I mean because you don’t want to Repeat Performance you want to do your best you know the guy got you out of there what was no and then to have the fight you had with him which was a competitive fight he got the decision but now how do how does it feel now do you feel like you you know I know it sounds I hate to say moral Victory but after the way that fight went the first time and then after what you did in the second fight now after being in there for that long with him you’d be like all right now at least I know this guy’s not out of my league you know what I mean like do you feel a little bit more like I mean now I know I could beat him even though I didn’t beat him compared to your first outing um I know exactly what you’re saying right I’m trying to say and no the and then I’ll summarize it for you like this in that first fight he took my confidence yes in that second fight I took it back I like because Jimmy that is I remember looking before the fight I’m watching you in there and I’m like man I mean dude there’s got to be a ball of nerves in there that he’s holding together to see where this is going and then the watch the way the fight played out I remember feeling like all right I don’t really feel bad for Robert like that was a good fight man and it shows that this is that this could be done like you know definitely definitely will you take you take some of the hesitation out of that second fight that I had and the trepidation leading it to some of the strikes and I win that fight you know and you look at a guy like uh duplessy who is uh he’s he’s a pretty well-rounded fighter I mean he beat uh till with a neck crank he’s a couple of tkos a doctor stoppage uh and a decision over Tavares so like he’s a well-rounded fighter but he and he’s fought good Fighters but he has not fought the level of Fighters you have fought for the amount of time that you’ve been at the level uh you know you’re much more of a veteran in the sport and I I always say how much I love to watch an up-and-coming fighter against a guy like you who’s a veteran who has seen everything there’s nothing he’s going to do that you haven’t at least seen in the cage before and I think a lot of times younger fighters are more likely to make a mistake than a guy like you and you’re more likely to capitalize on something he does wrong no but I think the experience plays such a strong factor in the fight game and in the fire World in so all sports across the board but well I don’t know I feel like it it shows you can see it when um when two guys um with the decisions they make in the Octagon um I understand he’s got fights under his belt I understand he hasn’t bought names like I have but every fight is is essentially the same the your opponent’s trying to take you out of there he’s trying to take you out and that comes with a lot of the same nerves a lot of the same setups leading moving into a fight I um yeah I’m I can’t underestimate that and then like I said before he’s a guy that has nothing to lose he’s the young dude up and coming hungry for it everyone expects him to lose some me just because of what I’ve done he’s he’s got he’s got nothing to lose and that is so good a man with nothing to lose is dangerous and uh and I I I respected that Danger what do you think you need to do to get another title shot um you know because you fought Izzy twice and I think if I’m correct the two guys he hasn’t fought that are in the top 10 are Strickland and duplessy I think are the only two people that he hasn’t uh fought yet so what do you think your path would be to get back to a title shot guys they they beat drinkers beat the next guy beat everyone but you know it’s uh that’s the beautiful thing about this sport I guess and it if you just keep winning eventually you’ll get to where you want to go they have to yeah did you see Sean Strickland’s fight over the weekend I did and I will I will tell you I’ll tell you he’s starting to grow with me dude I like him he’s funny as hell I think dude I yeah he’s uh he’s grown on me so much yeah did you think Mega metal was a little too uh spent a little too much energy in the first round because he was so he looked so uh really good in the first round and it just seemed like Strickland was kind of just jabbing and playing a very smart but he seemed like he was very very by the end of the first round you can see Mega Man of getting he seemed like he was a little winded and I’m wondering if that was part of what Strickland wanted to do to him Ah that’s hard to say Strickland definitely likes those um that sort of pressure style Pace setting fights yeah I think maybe maybe the um this is one of those times where experience and sliding High Caliber dudes shows itself a little bit because you see just the the way they approached that first round moving into the second I know the thing is we we cannot discount some of the significant strikes Strickland landed on magamadolf because it seemed like and then then tell me if you agree it seemed like all of a sudden someone flicked a switch and magma dog just wanted to get out of there like he he did not he was like this this part ain’t bad anymore yeah he was learning some heavy leg kicks I love big heavy leg kicks and front kicks and he was Landing a lot in the first but I guess it wasn’t uh Strickland was just seemed like he was applying pressure but again that jab he’s just so measured and he doesn’t seem to waste a lot of punches and he doesn’t seem to waste a lot of energy yeah he’s got a he’s got a very unique striking style that is is unique to him just the how upright he stands where he throws his hands from you know they’re all it’s a it’s a different sort of style did you ever have a did you ever see this in the gym I’ve seen it before and it reminded me of that fate where a guy who’s not really in shape he wants a spar and he goes off at least everything in round one and he’s like all right I’m done and it’s like oh we got round two coming up some guys they want to get something in so they’ll get something in and then they’re supposed to do a few rounds you’re like all right I’m done no no no you’re not done you just that guy took me no no no three minutes now we agreed on a few rounds now you want those ah you’re staying in I see Longo not like guys out of the out of the ring they all know you’re not nothing after the next round then take off you’re not doing that you know what I mean yeah 100 and then I’ll be 100 with that as well it’s like what you wanna you wanna come in doing your absolute best to put the guy out of there and then and what that doesn’t work great get out of here bro you know read what you sow yeah I’m not saying that’s what happened in that fight but it was kind of reminiscent of that kind of thing that I’ve seen in the gym you know and I think that’s where experience plays the part doesn’t it oh well you heard Sean strictly he goes you know and I’m not going to try to do his he’s he’s funny he’s all over the place but you know that’s round one we have two three four five to go you know he’s and he’s a durable guy he’ll stay yeah man it’s not like he’s gonna speed it up or or or even get a little slow he just stays on going and he has that he uses that what do they call that almost like that what is it called the Philly shell like yeah a lot of guys use that but he uses it seems to work for him yeah and and he didn’t panic I I know that’s that when you see a veteran it’s like a guy who’s been in there with some really there’s no Panic uh and weathering those storms whereas a younger guy might tend to Panic or or use too much energy or just make some stupid moves so I always love these matchups and I can’t wait for this fight on uh on Saturday night um and I really uh I’m such a fan of yours so I hope it goes well for you uh I like duplessy as well but I would love to see you get a third shot at Izzy so when I made I’ll do my best I’m sure you have one more question Robert too because you said something that was interesting you said that you trained for how do I think they’re going to train to beat me and when you’re doing that do you find weaknesses in your game like when when you’re training specifically for that or the things you’ve learned about yourself and you go wow I’m not this is not as strong as I thought it was I need to fix it uh it’s it’s like it’s much of a muchness if that makes sense because it’s like I wouldn’t have gotten to this level if I had gaping holes if I had huge flaws in my game there’s just no way I’d be at the level and done the things that I’ve done but if you ask me if there’s room for improvement if he’s if you ask me what his strength is and pushing into into one of my skill sets then there’s always room for improvement there’s always little little tweaks and twists we can we can uh add to the game or for or to the game plan just to to really take away all the potential advantages he may have that’s great it’s always always a pleasure to have you on and again always so great to watch you fight and this is probably the biggest card of the year so good luck on Saturday night against uh triggers2 plus C and we’ll talk to you again and I can’t wait to see you get another shot at the title I appreciate you guys so much thanks for having me on all right Robert thank you have a great fight later buddy [Music] [Applause] [Music] listen I always like but he’s such a likable guy he’s great yeah there wasn’t a lot of
