it would be cool to cake Joe Rogan what’s up guys I’m Steve Aoki and I’m at the UFC headquarters in the Bruce Lee room and this is my fight check all right uh what would your walkout song be um this one’s pretty obvious to me it’s going to be Pursuit of Happiness My remix for Pursuit of Happiness it makes everyone just go crazy it doesn’t matter where I am where I play play a thousands of times always does his job and I guarantee you everyone in the crowd will be getting up and raving when I walk out that one which UFC fighters walkout song would you want a remix I think I’d like to do Shao Mali let’s go baby whenever he fights he’s always he’s always like so entertaining and I and I just love his fights and I I mean I think about his fights I think about his walk out and the walk out should match his fights and I know I can make the craziest walk Out remix for any fighter so let me do yours suar cuz I’ll do a good job for you all right what would your nickname be the Bruce Buffer would announce um I’m going to go with what’s on brand and uh this is what I do at my shows everyone waits for it they have signs ready for it to cake them in the face and I actually made a song about it so I play the song and I cake someone in the face and I’m really good at Sharp shooting head shot um so I think I’d be called cake face all right who would be in your corner three max okay so in the corner if I could pick anyone I’m going to obviously pick the goats so Jon Jones there is no denying him now number one overall all time he’s the goat to me so I need Jon Jones in my corner and um I I I’d say that I would even call him a friend so having him and knowing him personally him being my corner it would be something I I would really need but I need another Goat as well and uh that would be kabib send me a message like location location I’m going to come he’s the grappling wizard he’s just he’s he’s also another goat so I need him in but I think for pure entertainment um it would be really really uh cool to have Connor his best friend shut a melt me just to see them argue on what the best situation uh or how to approach some thing and they’d be just fighting and yelling and I mean maybe people watch that more than me fighting so the first time I met Jon Jones and um I can’t believe this I actually I think this was probably 20 2015 I’ll never forget this I was walking through MGM and then I hear someone yell hey Oki and I and I turn around and it’s Jon Jones he’s like yo I’m Jon Jones I I fight for UFC we we started like talking and and and we became friends right there and actually we shot a video that’s that’s up somewhere on the internet somewhere where we’re sparring but you ateve you don’t want to steeve that’s awesome he was so nice he was so cool I always hit him up whenever that we’re both in town um you know of course to me he’s he’s he’s the goat of fighting he’s also just a legendary human and I’m glad that to call my friend how’d you become a fan of the UFC um well when when I think about the first time I heard UFC um it would it I had to say like it would be early 2010s but really boiling it down it’s it’s just being a fan of Bruce Lee we wouldn’t be where we are today without Bruce Lee so it’s kind of cool that I’m doing this this uh fight check in the Bruce Le room uh because growing up as a kid a Japanese kid in America there was not that many Asians that were in you know mainstream media that were literally influencing the world like all different kinds of people love Bruce Lee and his fighting technique and his Charisma and and his philosophy everything all the above and since I was a literally like 78 n 10 years old I’d be watching all the Bruce Lee films wanting to be like Bruce Lee I looked up to him and still do and um Bruce Lee was to me the source of the reason why I even like fighting in the first place which is what you know UFC is all about and why I obsessed with UFC who’s your favorite fighter I have a lot of favorite Fighters but if I’m going to name one right now I’m going to give it to kamat Chimay 50 G’s baby he needs more fights period he’s just too good I I I just like the guy just like I think he’s unbeatable I really think he’s unbeatable he’s like a kabib this unbeatable but different he’s got his own technique his own style and um and I just want to see him smash people because that’s what he does do you have a favorite UFC performance favorite knockout uh I think the my favorite knockout just the first thing that comes to the Dome is is uh Shao Ali just knocking out Alaine Sterling what it might be like early round two Sterling un he really always figures out how how to get in fake people out and just he’s just to me one of the most intelligent Fighters out there and he’s definitely one my favorites for sure which UFC fighter would you want to throw a cake at there I mean there’s so many of them that I would actually go outside the box and and it would be cool to cake Joe Rogan don’t don’t don’t see that every day never seen anything like it lot of respect you know um I i’ say one of the coolest things I did last year or I mean last decade in the 2010s was actually uh joining him on his Joe Rogan Experience dude I need to go to one of your shows cuz everybody that I know that’s been says it’s a wild experience if he was down for it I I think it’ be cool to do it um Joe’s like I I love Joe I I love his mind what he talks about and everything he’s about he’s also a friend so I love kicking my homies which UFC fighters Championship after party would you want a DJ Shan Ali I think he would party I think he would do that and um we haven’t partied together at one of my shows so I got to do it Sean best knockout and now I need you to come and we’ll do together after you win your next fight if it’s in Vegas for sure we got to do it uh at at where I’m playing all right I’m going to Club Pace all right guys that was my fight check thanks for having me
