Dude everybody better shut the fuck up now. He's for real. He's for real Anybody didn't think he was for real after that Robbie Lawler fight you gotta go Wow well the problem is is he talks so much shit? which I find hilarious and it's You're tuning in to watch him lose Yeah Which is he's doing it right because to in all honesty we like him because we're balls deep in UFC and MMA But like my brother who's not that big of a fan is like this is all he does I'm like I know you gotta understand though what he's doing this guy is Amazing and he's gonna do it for five rounds for 25 minutes. He wears y'all. It's to me. It's fascinating It is fast, but it's not but it's not entertaining for a general fan typically He's not knocking dudes out not a lot of submissions. I see what you know I'm saying Yeah, so for the for the general fan like on this guy talks all this shit But he's doing it right because talking all that shit like don't we see this guy get fucked up even John Jones posted You let everyone down. You know it's like Robbie Lawler let everybody down. You know I'm saying cuz he wants Everybody wants Colby to lose right Colby's doing exactly everyone's playing into his game plan. I love it Well, that's how Floyd Mayweather became so rich Floyd Way Mayweather did not become so rich because his fights are so exciting his fights in his early career were way more exciting He was a savage early on he could go to work Yeah But he broke his hands a bunch of times correct and you know and also realize like this is not the way to have A long career and walk out of it with all your brains intact well think remember think how good John Fitch was He was a monster Nice guy true professional beat some of the very best was tough to beat Didn't talk shit though, so no one really cared so as soon as he had some issues remember He was like hey I don't like the way my face looks in that video game you see was like cool You're cut like what the fuck I'm 20 and oh man. Yeah, I think they cut them just because of But either one of those is good this is all we have in this room we have a bunch of that What's the buffalo buffalo trace do we have buffalo trace in the back? I don't trust skinny bottles Yeah, it seems weird right yeah, it's for girls. I'm trust skinny girls skinny bottles, bro Canadian whiskey and maple syrup now can't do maple on keto, bro. Are you really straight keto? Are you when did I say I sent you and Brian attacks your boy was up to 273 Do you got to 273? What were you eating road life talk road dog life cuz when I get into towns And there's all this you know if you're nastry and Philly where ever there's great food So I was just eating and drinking at night and no one said anything to me I hear you know anything no and then I remember went to Hawaii I went to Hawaii I was looking at the other dads like damn these dads are in shape I look like shit my girls like no you look fine everyone's lying man. I got on the scale It's not fine your boys been keto 14 days. I feel 14 days 14 days stress It's gonna knock you out of Keto anyway, though. This is whiskey. There's no sugar and whiskey does not nope It's alcohol, but there's no sugar in it, but alcohol doesn't convert to cheers my brother cheers brother good to see you man Good to see you too alcohol doesn't convert into sugar I don't think so especially whiskey because whiskey and vodka safe on ketogenic diet oh Whoo yeah, it's it's two in the afternoon, bro. Yeah two in the afternoon. I'm a fight alcoholic now Drinking I'm like a super shitty run light. It's fun to drink a little bit before a show right nothing better, man I'm messing around yeah, you don't want to be tight Don't want to be tight no you don't drink it problem either, but the Kobe Covington thing is Look what he did if you if you want to put it in perspective for a regular person Robbie Lawler is one of the biggest Fucking savages to ever compete in the sport. He's an animal and Kobe shut him down. He shut everything down He shut his entire game down, and he did it with an unprecedented work rate He made he was punching one punch every two seconds nuts which is nuts I mean that is for to do that over five Fucking rounds against one of the greatest welter weights of all time and Robbie Lawler and win every single fucking round some 10-8 round Yeah, I thought this is even close. Yeah, I mean not even close I mean Robbie occasionally would swing and connect and then Kobe would immediately hit him three or four times more and then take him down Or clinch with them and beat him up and it was amazing Kobe striking is not terrible either It's very pretty damn good very technical and the volume volume is incredible But here's my thing if if I'm fighting Kobe like if I'm a Carmelo Usman if I'm fighting Kobe I'm getting a guy like Cam Haynes if I see my opponent running with Cam Haynes I'm reaching out to another ultra marathon or figuring it out well Camaro can't run. That's right He can't do road work his legs still up. Yes. Oh, yeah, it's not getting any better his knees are mangled But he's doing something right well his cardio is off the charts too But it's just he does different things you can do a lot of different things to work your farming You know sure swimming you can do a lot of yeah the assault bike You know the that echo bike that rogue makes that is as good as Jacob ladder. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah Dude that pallet time I feel like it's lying to me. I work out every morning on that thing. I've never been thicker Yeah, but you're eating like an animal still it says I burned a thousand calories probably all bullshit Dude, I don't think so. I'm talking shit food truck diaries. You need to stop lying I'm the only one eating if you notice yeah, the other the guest is talking so tell me how you got started Lobster fucking sandwiches and shit pizza 270 that's what can fight a heavyweight right now man. That's what happens hard, but if I'm a Camaro Obviously cardio is not a problem for him, but man Colby have you ever seen him tired ever no no I mean he had that one loss in the OC But that was particularly because he came into the fight injured took the fight on short notice But he's he's got an amazing style that style of wrestling and striking and as a person who's Fascinated by tactics right like his tactics are incredible because he's he's got great Discipline to never he's never bites down his mouthpiece and throws as hard as he can never everything is like a calculated The the output is all the same. It's just constant constant bang bang bang kick bang bang bang bang bang bang He doesn't really fire power shots like he's like oh no. This is a marathon. Yeah, I got a weird It's just it's all the same pace It's all he's just constantly hitting you constantly moving forward constant volume And it seemed like Robbie was waiting for him to pause in front of him or get a little tired So he could fire shots off and the bobbin and weave in the Robbie was doing like what was all that about? Yeah, I'm tired. I mean I guess so doing all that bobbin weave in the oh yeah, there's some like damn rough on the core Yeah, man, that's rough on the core try bobbin and weaving for a minute if you're at home Just try doing this for a minute just a minute just a minute real time and Robbie's just trying to avoid getting beat up I mean this punches just relentless they never end and what's funny too about Colby is Love him or hate him is he doubles down because he got on the mic and his line about Matt Hughes. Oh my god, dude I was watching in and I was where was I I was in? Oh Nashville's watch in the room with the Derek post in a son Ahmad my openers and When they said that they were aware of Matt Hughes and they go that's ridiculous. I'm like that's fantastic It's a cuz it is messed up. Yeah, that's his character man He's a heel and he just doubled down so hard so cuz Matt Hughes is really close with Robbie Larr He said you think what he said for those that in what's fight he goes You think Robbie Laller would take a lesson from his boy Matt Hughes and get off the train tracks when a train is coming Oh He's all fear and love more yeah the most controversial Ruthless shit that he could say and here's what else so we're impressed by his tactics, right? You know, it's even more impressive as a former fighter. It's Stressful enough fighting another grown man. You're under wearing steel cage, especially when they're really good. It's fucking stressful now imagine talking all that Shit, and you got to deal with the consequences people hate you. Yeah, and he's a good dude Talk to campaign. He's a different guy great guy. Yeah, so he's a normal dude outside But he has to deal with all that pressure and still perform then get on the mic I wonder if he's ever just in bed. It's like yeah, damn Let me tell you these death threats can real old after that fight He has a real shot at being a world champion a real shot I know he was already the interim world champion those don't count after that fight They don't count no and well, you know how you know, they don't count they stripped him and he didn't even lose Yeah, it doesn't matter. How does that make any sense? He they stripped him because he didn't want to fight again quickly after a five round fucking war with RDA and he needed surgery Yeah But also they don't count either because your contract doesn't you don't get when you're a champ your contract get bumped up to higher Pay interim champs don't get bumped up right what it was. What was the surgery for? It was something I feel like in his face. Oh, I can sinus. Yeah, some yes major. Yeah something like a deviated septum Yeah, yeah Yeah, it's uh, he's a fucking He's a phenomenal fighter. But now think about this you take his style. He doesn't go backwards wrestling cardio Kamara Usman doesn't go backwards Wrestling cardio. Yeah, the only thing I see I would imagine Kamara is gonna be a slight favorite because of his power Yeah, one kind of distinguishing kind of factors. Kamara has a lot more power right? Kamara we can knock you out neither one's a knockout artist, right? Kamara can knock people out though It's not straight. It's not what he does He can knock people out too But his approach is to throw everything at like 50 60% He was slaying in some early in that first round against Robbie they were exchanging if it would have connected could've been trouble for either guy For either guy they he was getting Robbie's respect And I think that was the strategy that you kind of have to wade through the fire with Robbie in the beginning because he's coming hard You know, he's coming coming. He's coming hard
