And I'm like, oh, I heard he's like a bad guy, my bad like She's like No, he's the best like She like thought it was sick that I like rep mouth. Oh reallyally Is he like a badass? It's like a bad guy, right? I mean, who knows? It's probably like how people love Trp or hate Trump too I don't know. That's what I'm saying. I think youy. It caused a giant famine I know know I know that the Trump haters, the Trump haters would just Santag' line. The Trump haters would think that he killed a lot of people, but actually greatreatest country on Earth, but it's a whole other story He caused the Jish shamine Yeah That's a brutal thing to be recognized for. Just starred fe Communism doesn't work despite what A lot of the people in the United States are campaigning for. I don't know what that word means to be honest China's lit. That's all I know Vers seven hundred I had fifty Kamas spurs last night The only bet I took on this was that the series was going to go seven games So we go to seven games, I'm cashing a little money I knew they weren't gonna go up through nothing Yeah. I you do happen. I listen to all the fucking idiots deleted my bet and shit Goddamn, dude I think hurricanes tonight. When Forgy's hot, he might be hot I don't strike too often Like last night I was just like, yo sppurs. one hundred percent fifty K Suddena What's up bys? How are you? up Dana? How are you doing good? I'm good, man. How you doing Good. You in DC already? Oh yeah. I've been gone for like fifteen days. I'm England, DC. I go to New York tomorrow and then back here to DC and then Yeah, all over the place That's crazy I mean, I've been watching the UFC for so long too. and I feel like a lot of people haven't seen all the stuff you guys have gone through to build the UFC to what it is, you know. I think a lot of people started watching post COVID, but they didn't see the the state by state battles where the sport wasn't even legalized in some states It was It was illegal legaliz. It'sillegal. s I'm sorry thegory when something is illegal and you have to turn it around and Make it legal. Yeah, it's it's been listen, this is probably one of the craziest stories in all of sports, but yeah, we been through some shit. Is this like a moment for you where you kind of sit back and, not even. so what we're doing now is I mean, the setup over I just went and walked it again last night went through all the u the elements and had a whole production meeting last night. I mean, we're basically on the lawn of the White House building an arena. What is? Almost impossible to do. And then beyond that on the ellipse, what we built on the ellipse is even crazier Um you know, my head of production Craig, we're sorry and my team are just so badass, man, the stuff that we pull off. I thought the spere was going to be, you know craziest thing we'd ever done, but this This tops it by. You know a million times what the sphere was Is this going to rank as the biggest sporting event of all time? I certainly hope so. It's definitely the most historic for sure. Um And again, something that will never be done I said when we went into the spere, I said, after we do this, A of people are going to roll in after us and try to do it. fucking, nobody tried to do it. Nobody has tried to pull off the sphere Um, since we did it. And Yeah Nobody's definitely going to do this again Yeah, so how do you how are you going to top the White House then maybe like outside at the gym try to stop anything. It's just these things just sort of happen. like Brady hit me up and Brady said, Hey, you want to go to U two with me this weekend? So we went to this sphere went to U two I was watching the show. I was like, this is fucking bad ass. I want to I want to do that. So we did it. and then you know we were at a fight one night and the president leans over and goes, we should do it fight at the White House And I was like, Yes, yes, we should. let's do it So What I like I like u brand new arenas when new arenas pop up and they have a lot of you know, a lot of new technology and people can get a great experience U, you know, for one of our fights. This is You know, this just just happened to happen. It's the two hundred fiftieth birthday of America, so it just it just happened. I'm not I'm never trying to do fights in funky places ot really my. I don't even like fucking stadiums You know, because I feel like they're too big and you don't get the same experience that you get in a great arena What do you think's been like, I mean, obviously you're just in problem solving mode? Like what's been the like number one bullshit, you've had to figure out, you think, to make this s. be honest with you. this has been pretty smooth so far And 's been pretty smooth. Now we're just looking down the barrel of Weather, you know, is weather going be okay, you know, there's all kinds of stories being written about the weather. Everybody's trying to predict the weather this Sunday. But it's looking good. You know, we're using the military The military weather serervice is the best on the planet and we're looking good. we're looking good so far againg. I could knock on wood here. Yeah kn on wood. Are there any is there any legs to this Susan Douglas, the civil activist? She's trying to file an inunction to stop the event. Is that just kind of background noise or is that something that you guys actively have to look at I actually was surprised it took the looonies that long. I knew looonies were going to pop up somewhere. At some point in time. they were a little late to the game, but I was expecting them. Yeah, there's of crazy controversy with a lot of people about this event. first time we ever did a fight in London, we did it at the Royal Albert Hall And u They tried to shut us down then too back in two thousand two. Sorry, I didn't mean cut you off. No, I was just saying, you know, like you have Aman Zahabi, who's a Muslim fighter You know, and you have like a kind of a multicultural experience when you're watching the UFC. You're watching kids from the phuff come up and Now they're living out their dreams, yet people really want to hate on this event As far as some of the rumors that are going around that are riiling people up, if we could just like clarify some of them The number one thing going on Twitter right now is they're saying Sean Strickland is banned from the event. What are the details with that? what's going on there? Dumb as fucking shit that, you know, every day I wake up and I see dumb shit on on and you're absolutely right Oh' that fucking band. Listen Sean strickl is he's just not invited. N bann, we just didn't fightem. We have eight hundred fucking fighters under contract that aren't going to the event. Not because they're banned because there's no room. And not to mention the fact if you look at all the shit Sean Strickland said leading up to the White House event He's basically saying he he didn't want to be there. He wouldn't want to be there. He wouldn't want to fight there And and he's just sort of, I mean, this is what Sean Strickland does not to mention the fact that if this fight was in Luck in Tucson, Arizona In an arena, Sean Stricklland is the type of guy you keep away from other human beings. It's not like, you know Sewn's the guy that you want fucking roaming around. We invite him to power slap fights. He gets in fucking fights with people while he's there. He walks up to people. fucking machine gun Kelly and just starts calling her names and yeah You know what I mean? Yeah. Sean Strickland is the fucking victim That's that's hilarious No, Sean Strickland has not been banned by us or the White House. that is a funny way to put it. He's not a guy you bring around other people let alone the fucking White House And he made it very clear leading up to the to the event that it was something that he did not want to be a part of Now of a sudden he's been this victim who's been banned Nobody's banned Yeah, I think the controversy is like he's are he is the only American champ right now And so people like want to see them there, then the other controversy was another rumor that people were saying tied in with it, people are like, Oh, Net and Yahu is gonna be rings. So can you dispel that that real That's I highly fucking doubt that Netanyahu is going to be at the event. You know, but this is all the goofy shit that that that comes out and leadavs up to anybody the world. I mean, it's just it's all bullst. U But I love it. I love all this kind of stuff. This is That's what comes with an event of this magitude, right? That's exactly right. You're gonna have fucking haters when you're doing something this earth shattering. Also if you if you're not invited to something Just be just saying that your bandned is is a cooler way to do it. You know what I mean? like technically stiny, you're banned from this event. You know what I mean? Like we're all Anyone who's not going is banned. Yeah. Yeah, defefinitely not banned. Nobody has been banned. We have eight hundred fighters under contract. We have a bunch of guys that are coming out and girls that are gonna, um you know, be a part of the ellipse, the fan experience over there John Strickland if not the guy that you fucking bring that to that event and do it You know, we have forty four events a year Sen Strickland forty four of our fucking events every year. No. none of the fighters are the eight hundred fighters that we have under contract. There's a group of guys and girls that do go. seven hundred and something that don't Yeah. Goofy shit. Goofy shit that leads up to an event. A lot of people on the left have framed this as this is being paid for by taxpayers that And this is something that's pretty clear if you just Google it, but they're still having this narrative that Somehow Trump is paying for this. So that's another thing that you might Not only are the taxpayers not paying for this thing. We're paying for fucking everything. is a big number on this one. And here's the other thing So Oh He Ellie in my room, there's like a A Washington DC magazine. I think it's on the floor byh my bed. Go grab that So it's the two hundred fiftieth birthday of America. You know how many fucking events are going on in Washington, DC and to celebrate two fifty And there's this Washington, DC magazine, I was looking at a couple nights ago that's in a hotel room here. And it's literally filled with all the events that are happening You know From concerts to fucking, all this other shit So because Trump likes the UFC and the UFC is one of the events here And know, it's the event that the people that don't like Trump want to attack. It's Trump's be Yeah that. Flag day' that Flag dayay. Trump's birthday was We were supposed to do it the fourth of July, but Um He ended up he's got to be in like three fucking states. on the fourth of July. pllus my favorite holidays. so I'm glad we don't.

Let's get back into the podcast You do a pretty big party for july fourth, right? I think I heard that. You like That's my throw for your employees, your friends. I got a place up in Maine and I go up there. And u Like literally I put on like a thirty minute firework show and people from all the towns around me all fucking come over and park their cars around my property and watch the show. Yeah. I'll be in I'll be in Bar Harbor Maine by that area by the way. You're forty minutes from me. forty minutes away. Yeah Yeah. I live up in Nor Comway, New Hpsire so not Ver cool. You probably go ham on fireworks thirty minutes. How what do you spend on firewor? Tty minutes long. What a fireworks show like a ten minute fireworks show is a long firework show Mine's thirty minutes My My show is better than the town it fucking doesn't Oh yeah. I grew up in a small town. It was about forty five seconds are like our around and that's nal It was a couple of black cats. it was like, yeah, you know, it wasn't too great So Dana, how long do you see yourself doing this kind of grind? I know you've been able to It's not the same grind as it was when you were like battling, you know, John McCain and this type of thing, UC is way more mainstream now. so it's a bit more Fluid but Do you see yourself doing this in your eighties We're like, you want to continue as we continue to grow, we continue to You know We're not a fight promotion anymore. I mean, we're so much bigger than that. and what we're I just did a boxing match in England, my first fight on skky sports over there And it was fucking unbelievable. I mean, the English fans are different man. They're just so different. and any sporting event, you can go to a fucking ping pong match in England and the fans will make it the most exciting thing you've ever seen And, you know, they're singing and chanting And you know, when people talk to me about, oh, you know, your competitors, your competitors competitors or the NFL The NBA Major League baseball and and the NHL. Those are my competitors. All these other guys you know, the we are not the fucking same. Okaykay. We are not in the same fucking league Not even closeed So I want you guys to wrap your fucking head around this. Now, the most powerful in the world, you're talking about soccer. Soccer's massive In the United States, the The NFL. It is the monster and this country. and When you talk about competing and competition When they were sitting around their headquarters and it came out, they said, What The fucking UFC just got an eight billion dollars fucking television deal There was eight billion dollars sitting over at Paramount How did we not get that money We'll put games on on fucking Tuesday. you know, We want that money. And those are the guys that then, you know, the NHL, Major League baseball, all these other guys that saw that deal get done They all want that. So over the next, you know Six years Me and my team have to fucking deliver on a lot of different fronts for Paramount So that we're lookingoo down the barrel of ar deal ending These are the guys that I'm gonna be competing with. all these other fucking You know I'll I'll do a press conference and I got my press going up fucking Oscar D Loya said, what? fucking Oscar Day Leooya, you know, Eddie Hearn said fucking all these other guys. Jake Ball said Guys We are not we are not the same. Those guys are not my fucking they're all competing with each other They're all gonna fucking beat each other up and blow all their fucking money and do whatever they're gonna do. Those guys are not my competition So the question you asked me is, how much longer am I to do this? I have so much shit that's going on right now that I want to do You know in however long it fuck it takes, but The new thing that I'm really focused on is boxing and building that up over the next couple of years. And got a lot of bigig announcements over the next month. so I'm still having fun. I love this shit I've been on the road for fifteen fucking days and I'm not going home till. Monday. And then I go out on the road again right after that. This is going to be it's crazy because If you look at what we've accomplished, like Kyle said when we started the podcast You know, this is probably the busiest year of my career this year with all the shit that we got going on. So I still love it. I still You know still got the fucking energy to do it. so who knows? I might be eighty still done this shit, who knows? Is it hard to imagine not doing it? like once you find a love for doing this? like you wake up one day and you're like, how am I not going into thisit? This I'm still in that mode where I love Um Stress. loveove slm Pms. I love building. I like to build And You know, if you look at what we've already accomplished And we're live on Match dayay as Doug reaches for a buffalo wing He's got it. Oh, and he's gone for a can of Beepsy too. What a finish There's no doubt about it. it just tastes better. Match days deserve Pepsy Within the next couple of years, any way that you could possibly kick somebody's ass? We're going to be involved in and be the biggest and the best. So I still have a lot of goals as far as, you know, what we're doing with TKO as a group And I love the team that we've built. I mean my UFC team is fucking second to none. I mean You know, I talk about my employees all the time. They're a bunch of fucking animals, killers and And then now the team that I've built with Nick Kon On the boxing side is exactly the same and I'm having a blast with these guys right now I like killers, man, and I got a bunch of fucking killers working for me. That's why I was going to ask about the Zoofa boxing because I seen you talk about it in the press conferences and you're like, judge us by what we do at the end of the year Are you guys looking to completely takeover box like you It worth five months in five months we've been doing this. Look at the guys we've signed, lookook at the fights that we're putting on. and then, you know, I keep saying because I know what's coming down, you know. coming down the pike right now. So I give say Jan one. twenty twenty seven Judge us for what we did in twenty twenty six as we look back and see what we did in one year in this Guys These other fucking guys that have been in the business forever They're all on dis own You even know what fucking to zone is? Do any you guys know what Nody's try to download the app at someoneere's watch fuck to zone and all these guys who hated each other Nix months ago are now all crammed on the same shitty little fucking platform. And Meanwhile We're in over like ninety four countries around the world on television you know, so when you fight for Zoofa boxing Obviously, when you're a fighter, you want to make as much money as you possibly can. But what's just as important or more important is how many people around the world See you accomplish these great things and see what you do. And that's what you get with us. So Cazoofa booxing be an avenue to do those cross promotional events that the fighters always talk about how they want to do and stuff like that. Is that something that see with that? You know, let's take a you know, one of the greatest boxers ever and let them box an MMA guy who You can't fucking box God U There's always going to be a market for that type of shit. likeike that's what Jake Paul Jake Paul does You know It's just it's not my thing A gimmicky shit? Yeah. Yeah Yeah, he does he does what I consider goofy shit And there's always going to be a marker for that. That's peopleeople are always going to want to see that, you know. It's a one and done and it's just that that's just not what I do, not what I do I want to see who the best is I was just going to say, are there any plans to build out more UFCPIs because I think that's one of the best things you guys have ever done. I wentent to the UFCPI, reallyally beautiful place. and it becomes like a melting pot of martial arts like during the UFC BJJ events. you got all the guys like Mason Fowler, the Tacket brothers in there You know, and they're sparring with Morab Are there any other plans to build up more PIs? Well, we got Mexico and we got China U And the China one is bad ass And we got I was just in I just did a fight in Bornemou England And one of the guys said, Hey, you guys are, you know, you got a sky deal now over here. you guys are in a box and you sign all the guys. Don't you think that a PI in England would make sense? Yes, it absolutely does You guys got to do one in Canada too Cals wants to go work out Well the G one is close to the U.S. You know, Canada it's easy to get to the one in Vegas, but I think the next one that makes sense would be the UK Where does this put Taporia among the greats if he's able to pull off another Yeah. I mean this guy' on a run right now that You know, he's obviously the, you know you got him in Islam pound for pound best fighters in the world. and then, you know, those two could possibly fight. Yeah he's looking down the barrel of fucking greatness, no doubt about it. and I believe that if Perrera wins you know, a third title and three different fucking way classes Here's the goat. If Daporia wins this fight, you think We could potentially see an Islam fight. Anything's possible I'd be fucking crazy Yeah the Tapori fights going to be insane, especially because all the shit they've been talking on social media lately, it just builds it more for the fans. like when there's some real heat there That was like with the Strickland Hamzat fight I know they made up at then, but they they had heat with each other and that brought a lot of eyes to that fight So Do you like one fighters kind of go at it or you just sort of stay out of it it's sort of. know you have guys that can't stand each other and it gets to, you know, crazy levels. Or you have guys who totally respect each other and you know there's a lot of respect leading up to the fight The boxing match that we just did with the Canadian Rzigi And and Chris Bilam Smith Total respect leading up to the fight and the fight was a fucking war. I mean, like a rocky movie type fight. If you saw that in a movie you'd be like, this is such bullshit. Th guys could never take this kind of punishment. It was one of those kind of fights So You don't need a bunch of you know to make a great fight, but When it happens and it's organic, it's definitely fun Yeah,'s so true. Sometimes it's the ones that you're like no one's really talking about ends up being like legendary you know two bad motherfuckers heading in to fight each other and, you know. And that is the case with Gii and Ilyia. I mean, both guys have explosive knockout power, highlight real knockouts and You know, it's like one of those fights, whoever catches that chin first On Sunday night is u is going to win that fight You think people are underestimating Ge? I mean, he's fought literally the best guys in the world could be people hundred percent underestimating a little bit. you know, because Ilia looks so good and whatever been ut of the matter is Balse guys have unbelievable knockout power So whoever, whoever catches that chin first could win this fight Yeah Gatee is big too. you H Ge, let's go knock out Gaatey for American. Freezer you're picking you're picking Seaan as well, Freezer. Yeah, I was going to ask you that Jane as a degenerate gambler. I'm thinking about throwing thirty can ofga knock out. What do you think about that happening? Well again, another any of these guys that have true knockout power and our knockout artists Yeah, anything is possible. I mean, you know, the thing with Gatey is people like, o Gate's at the end of his career and Gate's old Gy still knocks people the fuck out. I mean the guy to count him out and think that he couldn't hit Illia, you know, and catch him on the chin is crazy. it's the fun in having two guys that are both knockout artists face each other U and obviously sugar Sean on Malley has Dvastating knockout power too. Is there any truth to this Armon betting a million dollars on a car? No. from what I heard is that Armin didn't it was one of his it's one of his buddies that that one of his buddies bet a million dollars. On Gagi, right? Really? Yeah, he's got brge friends. I mean that's a big payout if it wins. two leg parlay. O'Mally knockout, Gagei knockout boys, lock it in and you hear to do It's crazy is a lot of these betting apps, you know, they don't let you bet a million dollars. I mean, Um I remember When when when Jake Paul That u thought u Oh. Anthony Joshua I wanted to bet ten million dollars on Anthony Joshua. I mean, I would have bet every fucking thing that I owned in life on that bike en, you know what happened Then u the u A Aspinal fight happened when he got poked in the fucking eye. And I was like, holy shit You know What a fucking, you know What if Jake Paul does some fucking goofy shit to, you know, try not and what happened during the fight Jake Paul literally kept fucking diving into his legs the whole time like fucking, you know, trying to avoid the fight And I was sitting there going, holy shit, if I were to betat on this fucking fight I've been sitting here freaking out that he's going to blow his ACL out because U, you know, Jake Paul keeps diving at his fucking legs And you just you never know what's gonna happen when you sports bet, man. spports betting is so fucking crazy. Are you still anti sports betting? 'cause well last time we talked, you were no sports betting On Blackjack, but No. Have you been gobling a little bit in sports betting now? Super Bowl, I'll throw some money, someome fun money on the Super Bowl and shit like that You know, they say betting on the game makes it a lot more fun. You're a fucking lunatic if you think that betting on the game is fucking fun Um Yeah. It's true. Freezer. what do you have to say to that Yeah, Th are ye I mean, I don't know, boys, you know, you gott toss a few bucks here and there on poo and thea over yard and it does that the table I you bet on stuff that are you're not interested in to make it interesting That's why I don't really I don't bet on UFC stuff because like, It actually ruins it for me. Then I'm like biasly watching it and I'm like I fucking like watching it. Now betting on UFC is awesome Yeah you can bet with your friends on the UFC and like you can make a case like in the Derek Lewis Josh Hocket fight. you can make an easy case for either athlete in there It's like, you you don't you don't know what's going craziest sport to bet on is power slap And I have no idea what's going to happen in that. Yeah If you've never bet and then gone to Power sllap live, done that That would be fun. You gott to do that sport to bet on is the fucking NBA, right? So you'll bet on the NBA and you'll be like, Hey, I'm up thirty points. We fucking got this. You go take a piss, you come back and it's fucking you're down to. Like what the fuck how does that happen? They go on these Last night I think should happen with the n these fucking runs man. Yeah, the NBA is the worst to bet on. The fucking scores just go like this. What's the status of your blackjack with Michael Rubin? the high stakes. Well, is that anywhere near? But Rubin was just like, fuck, if you do something like this, I'll jump in with you. I'll do it. but Yeah I'm working on a on a big game again but Um, Yeah, we're already at the level where they'll let me bet MGM will let me bet a million hand And in your plan for that, what do you go three hands like you usually do or just one? Yeah, you could go one or you could go three. Yeah. ye. or you'll mix total a million Not a million a hand, but Three would be the total of a millon bucket Yeahah But I'm working on a big gaming deal. I told you, you know, I've been telling you about this for a couple years Ah It's been a u It's been a tough thing to negotiate and figure out how it all works out, but we are fucking right there. So what we like to hear is de Jenerate Dana If you need an intern, just let me know. I feel like Dana, you were like Naturally created to be in the fight business. you've created such great shit like If you weren't in, you know, boxing or UFC What do you think you would be doing with your expertise? Still be training like I was before. you know, I did all this shit. You know, I made a decision when I was nineteen years old that I wanted to be in the fight business for the rest of my life. And at the time I didn't know exactly what that meant or where it would lead. but That's what I'd still be doing Because I love doing that too I just love being on a fight yeah. Do you ever sit back and reflect a little bit? you know, like you've created this verb in the UFC. like I went down to Entram or Michael Morales trains and he's a really good duty. has these orphans from an orphanage nearby that go and train there. And they all say they want to be in the UFC. They want to be a UFC fighter. L it's a verb that's been created Do you ever sit back as an entrepreneur and reflect? have a reflector. I'm not a reflector. That' crazy I you know, I talk about this a lot and especially leading up to this White House fight Unfortunately, I'm always in this mode like, what's next, what's next, what's next I mean, we've already got, if you look at the UFC We've already got our fights made to mid September, right orr the end of September, early October And then I'm looking at all the stuff that we're going to do this year now in booxing And you mentioned it ear, I'm looking at all the stuff we're doing in Jiu Jitsu, Power Slap, I don't know if you saw. see what I posted yesterday about Power sllap This fucking beast Hold on, me pull this up for you guys, I'm fucking accurate here R Listen to this This fuck of it Damn it Uh Power sllaps record breaking mononth Two billion views and two million new followers in the month of May alone. Two billion views and two million more followers. justust in the month of May alone, our biggest month that we've ever had. thing is a fucking beast We just launched Jiu Jitsu, which has been successful and now we're starting these tournaments where, you know young people and everybody can come participate in the tournaments. You guys know we're on mat in booxing. we've been talking about that. since we started, you know, the interview here. And then youFC, we're about to, you know, be on the White House lawn for America's two hundred fifty. and the list goes on and on. So I'm always thinking about what's next instead of, you know what? Let me just go walk around and take this all in and think about fucking how great, you know what I mean? I don't ever do that So an attendance at this event. So Trump's going to be there. You have a bunch of other obviously like celebrities that are going to be there. Is there anybody that surprises you number one that's going to be there. And then also just to clarify for people because there's like a rumor going on online What I want to clarify is, you are having a lot of troops out there and a lot of people In our military, you got them free access. So what's crazy is fucking today's Tuesday The event is Sunday Today is the day that I'm actually sitting down N The girl who runs all the logistics, her name iss Amber. She's a fucking animal We're going over all the tickets today and who's coming and all that stuff. I haven't even done that yet. So that's all going down today. I think the president handed in his list yesterday So I'm going over all that yesterday, but yeah, majority of the four thousand three hundred people that will be there will be US military from every single branch of the military Um Yeah becauseuse there was a thing, peopleople were like, Ohh, a lot of the military should be there and then people were like, he is. It's happening So I think that's B will be represented at the fight on Sunday. Was that also a talk with the whole like Michael Chandler waiting on McGregor thing? Was that Like what made you guys make that decision And you mean like everyone waiting on Chandler, Chandler waiting on getting McGregor? Yeah, I didn't want him to wait. I told him, you know, don't wait for anybody, man. you have, I've seen it over the last twenty five years, guys waiting for guys and you have a small window of opportunity to, you know, to to compete And the sport, don't wait for anybody And Chandler did wait too long my opinion, but Now he's getting his White House card. I mean, Chandler is the most American is one of the top Americans out there. And Chandler by Ko is Chandler by Ko is a sneaky, sneaky bet. I think a lot of people look past him. the dude has insane power. Obviously, Rofy's extremely technical. It's going to be a tough one for him. but don't sep Ch chander Yeah. he's got a challenge ahead of him for sure. That guy's nasty, but the he does Chandler throws bombs bro. He just throws bombs. He's like gatey though. Hes just he puts on a fucking war. He puts on a good fight, you know,s entertaining. puts on a sh. It's gonna be six one hundred percent O'Malley's due for a knee knockout boys It's a fun card It's a fun card. I'm fucking nuking it I was gonna to bring up Josh Hoket like do you find it corny personally or do you find it like, hey, this is entertaining all not even fucking remotely close to being my thing. You know, you know it is my thing? The last fucking performance he put on. That's my thing I bet Dan was worried when he sees Hoet and Het was in fucking roller skates getting towed by a bird scooter. He probably watches that and's like, don't fucking get injured. I was watching that like bro. you're in roller skates in Alberar athlete But he's he is an entertainer for sure and he has he has the hands and wrestling to back it up, you know, that's what people sleep on. Yeah If his flight was be bad fight People would fucking hate him. but like when you put on that fight, it's like whatever you want. you know, u I'm not a fan of all the You know, the goofy fucking whatever that shit is doing Star Wars or WW. I don't know what it is, but Not my thing, but ucking that last fighting put on my thing That's why I made that fight that night And the way that he fought You know Him and Dererk Lewis should be unbelievable That's to be a good. Yeah. then we can see Gable International Fight Week. What do you think about Gable Stevenson? Do you think that's kind of the next evolution of a heavyweight fighter or are you guys going to build him up a bit? I'm glad you asked me that because you know, I just saw an interview Pat Militch. I don't know if you guys know who Pat Militichch is, but he was like one of the early guys you know had a big team when we first bought the company and all this shit. and he was talking about Gable Stevenson and some other guys. He's like, I see what they're doing here. They're trying to take these guys from the cradle to the grave. It's like they're trying to snatch up all these young guys before they f I'm like Not militage. what the fuck are you talking about? Every time I see this guy now, he's saying fucking weird shit First of all, Iy Volver. Five and o when we brought him into the fucking UFC in the early days and he was from fucking Pat Milititch's camp. Robby Lawlan went on to be a multiple time fucking world champion in different organizations, including the fucking UFC and fought for a long time. He just retired not long ago. DJ Pen came into the UFC with no fucking professional fights I mean, it was it was the weirdest fucking interview I've ever seen. It's like theyre try It's like the new UFC now they're trying to bring these guys in early and all the shit. No guys that we've seen that we think have potential. You know Um, Eron Pico You know, we were trying to get him early on in his career. Absolutely nothing has changed in the way that we sign guys from the early days to now. And And yeah, he's one of those guys that we think Um Now' potential possibly be great like aobbie Lwler Yeah, Gables he's he's like a potentially like a proddiges for his wrestling pedigree. How do you guys go find talent? Like do you send scouts out to like organizations like Lu and like Or do you use your contender series? likeike what do you S will to find out Mandner? are our matchmakers And yeah, they they do go to these fights. Um When we first bought the UFC All the fights were happening in Hawaii and Southern California And I actually used to fly every weekend and go watch these fights live, but now, you know Dreaming didn't exist then And if we didn't go see the fights live, we had to have VHS tapes of them, and we'd have to watch the VHS tapes. Obviously, you know, when you think about our business, not just scouting fights You know, promoting fights and everything else. teechnology has been great for us. You know, streaming and the internet and social media has been incredible for our business. But yeah, Sean and Nick have their finger on the pulse of everything that's going on out there and all the up and coming guys. And obviously The Cender series, which starts again in August is massive for us. I mean, It's u It is the best fucking show on TV, you know, and that few weeks that it's on every year And for those of you that don't know what it is, we take two of the best fighters in the world in these weight classes that are not signed by the UFC. And obviously, and I don't do any homework on them whatsoever. I don't read anything. I don't want any biased And I don't give a shit what you've done obviously done some great things. That's why you're there fighting that night, but it's like show me who you are right here right now and then I decide that night who we sign and who we don't ould you what percentage breakdown would you say is like talent and record compared to like It's all about fighting. It's like like the Hoka thing we're talking about. that whole fucking Whatever that is I don't like it. I don't care about it It actually turns me off Right? I'm it sends me the other way Then I sit there and watch him fucking fight that night and then I'm like, Okay I'm in now. now I'm in So it's all about Yeah Tw people that have stood out than my entire career fighting Um Since I was nineteen years old. I went to dinner. I was in Ireland And u I sent out a tweet Hey, who wants to come drink with me at Temple bar? Fucking the place was packed. U all these people all these Irish people there drinking with me And all anybody talked about me is you have to sign Connor McGregor, you have to sign Connor McGregor. And I'd never heard of Conor McGregor. And for some reason leaving the bar that night, I was fucking drunk. mayaybe that's why. but I thought he was a heavyweight So then I come back to the United States and I tell Sean Shelby, all anybody talks about is this kid Connor McGregor, and Sean's like, yeah, we're in talks with him right now. I said, Oh, perfect. all right. So then we sign Connor. Connor flies out to Vegas. I went to dinner with him I got my fucking car and I called Lorenzo forita. I said, Lorenzo. I don't know if this guy can fight But if he can even throw a fucking punch, this guy's going to be the biggest fucking superar ever And then Rhonda Rousey Okay came up to me at an event and said, Hey, can I get, you know, ten minutes with you? I'd like to talk to you We went back in the back room, we started talking in my head, I said, holy fuck I think I'm gonna do this And if I do, she's the one to do it with and ended up signing her and the rest is history I called Lorenzo again after that meeting and said, I think I'm going to do this women's thing. He's like, no shit. And I'm like, Yeahah, this rounda Rousey is fucking special. So those are the only two that have ever stood out to me like their personality or you know, whatever before I really knew how good they could fight or whatever, you know. I knew Rhonda was good and that she was a Judo, you know, butatever, but her personality Really I said, holy shit is this woman special Those are the only two out of like are Pretty good calls. suuck, bothoth of them are Yeah And if the personality is there, then it's just that's just it's interesting. It's cool man. Fucking grand Slam home run I was watching old clips of The McGregor May weather like world Tour press conferences That shit was with you on stage and were just talking about it like three days ago. Yeah. Without a doubt, The greatest fucking in my career that was that worldorld Tour. It was fucking incredible man U And what's funny is in the negotiations with the Mayweather side Um, because we all had to pitch in pay for all this shit, right? So everything was a fucking negotiation And so we build out this world tour thing and I put Toronto on a list And they called they're like, we're not going to fuck in Toronto 'cause the fuck about Toronto. I said Guys, you don't know Trust me, you don't know You don't understand because these boxing guys don't get Canada. they don't do shit in Canada and whatever. I said battle with these guys you know, because they have to pay fifty percent of the bill to go there. You know, there's fucking planes and all this other shit and I fucking battled hard. We went to Toronto and Toronto was fucking Awesome. It was one of the best stops in my opinion But I'm biased. I love fucking Canada and Canadianans. so I saw Canada is now going to get they're going to get the fights on Paramount pllus next year now. Yeah. And after that. fuckking Rzicki fight. I want to I want to bring him I want to do a fight up in Canada with him too Yeah. So I battled hard for Toronto on that on that Maywather McGregor tour and it was fucking great. And it was this was so fun. And what was great was I mean, every city we went to You know, you would think if you did a press conference The day before in LA Well, The next day in fuckking New York was gonna to be pretty much the same. No. Every day was different. Every stop was different and what was cool too. my favorite was, you know, you know, fucking Espinza, the guy who ran showhowtime at the time. B the time we got to England, Honter didn't know Right? But by the time we got to England, Connor had figured this fucking guy out because Connor's so fucking smart. He's like, this guy's a fucking weasel, this guy And literally when that play out. I still fucking laugh my ass off when I see that clip You shut the fuck up and sit down. What are you going to do Where iss the Weasel n? I think he's floating around out there U Conor figured that fucking guy out quick. It was beautiful How do you think Connor's going to come back in his fight his Hollowout? You know, you don't know. That's part of the fun of it, you know Here's what I can say I've never seen a situation We're coming back from such a long layoff is a good thing Layoffs in this businesser You know, you got to stay active, you got to keep stay busy, but again, you're talking about a guy like Connor who has that knock out power U You know One of the greatest ever fuc can do it You guys have anything planned for that? like extra press conferences We're so focused on Sunday right now. and then as soon as fucking Sunday's over Monday will be on the grind for International fight, we can give you a bunch of information on that Well It's a big fucking big summer and big year for the UFC And there's a small chance that it could be moved because of rain So what would happen ra?
