When you're fighting a guy like that. Well, how about John Jones's use of you grab his wrist and he comes over the top of an elbow? Yeah. I mean, that is hand-trapping. Yeah, for sure. I mean, it really is what it is. Or when he clever to Shara, that's limb destruction. That's old-school limb destruction. How and why that hasn't been rabbit-hauled a lot more. Although you do start to see that in that moment where, you know, I get to all four, I get to four points and I'm going to stand up and you just kind of decide, okay, that's all right, we'll get back to the fence. In that process of standing up, a lot of guys throw a fight-finishing kick there. Or just at least take that chance to smash your leg with one. Like, there's free shots that exist in these moments. And John Jones is a master of finding them. He really is. Yeah, I hope they figure out what the fuck they're going to do with him soon. I don't know where they stand now in terms of like his suspension or what have you. But here's my ultimate goal. My hope, my dream is that Cormier fights Stipe for the heavyweight title. And somewhere around then they announced when John Jones' suspension is up, they announced John Jones versus Brock Lesnar. Oh, man. Love it. I love it. I just, I mean, look at their body types and look at what they are and where they come from. I mean, I love it. But I know you've sat down with John and stuff. What did you feel like? Do you know what I mean? Like, what read did you get from him? Did you feel like he was saying the things that he thought you wanted to hear? Or did you feel he was being honest and genuine? Definitely both. He's being honest and he's also had some things that he planned out. I like John a lot. I really love that guy. But I think he surrounds himself with a bunch of knuckleheads. I think he's around too many people that are of bad influence. And I think he's a wild man. And I think when he's a wild man around other people that are sort of indulging that stuff with him, this is the word that I get not just from what I know, but from the people that know him very well, is that he's just around the wrong people. You know, he's got bad influences. And I mean, if you can identify that, then you must change it. Yeah, it's not to take any personal responsibility away from him either, because I'm sure he also makes for a bad influence to them. I mean, the fucking baddest man on the planet can live like this. I'll live like this too. Fuck it. Let's do more coke. You know, let's party harder. Let's drive fast. Let's go drunk. I don't know. You know, I don't know what the answer is for a guy like John. You know, I really don't know. I mean, it's got to have that come to Jesus moment or not. You know, maybe he just keeps doing what he's doing. He keeps beating everybody's ass and people keep forgiving him. And hopefully he doesn't wind up in jail. But you should for sure get a driver. You know, for sure get someone to fucking drive around. That's a bad. That's a good band-aid, but it's not going to be the problem-solver. The truth is, I think, I mean, we get to live the life that we want. Like we get to choose the things that we do. Like we have free to a certain extent. I know free will is something that's been discussed. You've discussed and it's a fascinating concept. But to some degree, you know, we are authoring our own lives, you know, and if it isn't going the way that you want it, small tiny changes can push it a different way. Yeah, it's a matter of whether or not he's willing to make those changes. And you know, right now, I'm sure he just wants to get his license back, you know, but like when I see him like having these battles back and forth with Chuck Liddell online, like just you got to walk away from that like Chuck Liddell is an old warrior who's clearly taking too many shots like and you know, this is you know, calling him an old man and saying all this stuff. It's like just be the better man in this situation. You're at the top of the heap right now in the top of your game. You don't want some young guy doing this to you 15 years from now talking to you that way. I mean, that's just these are the dark days.
