[0:05] the champ islam makachev uh islam a lot being made of this winning streak record you can set [0:10] and stand alone with this fight many over the years since anderson silva's last win in 2012 [0:16] have tried they've stopped at 13 14 15. why are you different why are you gonna get to 17 and go [0:22] beyond to 20 as you say hello everyone 17 17 it's not gonna be enough i will be sure nobody gonna [0:33] break my record is gonna be 20 minimum that's why i will still fighting still build all records and [0:40] ian says his goal in there on saturday is to frustrate you and irritate you with his style [0:46] how are you preparing for that and as you say you feel you're gonna have to chase him and run after [0:50] him how do you find the balance there yeah he's good fighter but he don't have special something [0:56] special i beat many strikers and that's it he just next opponent that's it i he don't have something [1:03] special to defend my wrestling and ian i know you call it you know irritating and frustrating islam [1:09] has called it running away and point fighting and things like that do you feel with a champion [1:14] like him for what he's done you're going to have to go in there and take this belt with force on [1:18] saturday it's saturday night that belt's got around my waist and every single one of you is going to [1:31] change it's going to be let's go gary chance i love you too master manipulation that's what it's called [1:39] movement at the highest level it's called master manipulation i move i choose shots i force him [1:47] where i want him to be and then i take my time to choose the right shots islam's a phenomenal talent [1:53] he's a phenomenal athlete nobody gets to this level of respect where he's got this streak by look [2:01] it's pure skill i have nothing but respect for his skill set everything he's done in this sport [2:05] and i'm proud and i'm i'm proud that i get to compete against him to prove that i'm the champion [2:11] that's an honor and i'm excited and i know you said uh after the first face-off you felt nervous [2:16] energy from him i know you've only been up here for a couple of minutes but what do you feel from [2:20] islam akashat here today as i said i think it was more the fact that he didn't want to be there he's [2:27] done this too many times the champion he doesn't care about those things and i made it very clear to you [2:33] the one that matters is tomorrow night when we face off at ceremonials that's the face-off where [2:37] i see the energy i know he's done this too many times i know what he's like he's an unbelievable [2:42] fighter he's ready for the moment and i'm excited that he's ready question the champion mackenzie [2:49] durn right here a lot has been made in the media about who said what to between you and jillian but [2:56] now that you're actually up there and you get to see her again you had the face-off what is the [2:59] energy you're getting from her and have you actually had the chance to like you said you hadn't met [3:03] her have you had a chance to meet jillian robertson actually no i mean the only time we talked to [3:07] each other was actually we didn't talk to each other the only time we saw each other was at the [3:10] face-off and i mean it just feels like we're in high school like oh who doesn't like each other you [3:16] know and um i mean i guess the best time we're going to get to know each other is in octagon for [3:21] 25 minutes so that's really about it a lot of the media and fans they view this as a traditional [3:32] jiu-jitsu fighter versus an mma jiu-jitsu fighter is it that clear-cut and dry and what do you make [3:37] of jillian's skill sets in there no i'm the champion i don't know about jujitsu i won my title fight [3:44] elbowing from the bottom um striking grappling you know she says my wrestling isn't that good [3:51] obviously i've been training my wrestling so i mean i'm not going in there just to do a jiu-jitsu match [3:56] with her if she wants to take you to the ground then of course we're gonna have jiu-jitsu but [4:00] i'm i'm the champ so i'm doing everything questions for jillian at media day you said [4:10] you didn't like mckenzie and then in another interview you said you don't think she likes [4:14] you so i guess what is the relationship with mckenzie if there even is one well we're gonna [4:19] fight each other this saturday i don't think we're supposed to like each other you know and uh i feel [4:23] like she has been i guess diminishing my skills throughout the uh media and stuff just saying that [4:30] she doesn't know what belt i am she doesn't know who i am but she's also trying to chase [4:34] the submission record which i have so it seems kind of weird and i guess for you outside of [4:39] winning the title is taking it to the ground against mckenzie and getting another another [4:43] submission on your record is that just the cherry on top for you on saturday oh that would definitely [4:47] be a cherry on top adding to my mission record and then i'd be uh have the most finishes as well [4:52] question for ian ian in an interview yesterday islam said he doesn't actually consider you irish he [5:00] thinks you're more brazilian do you see this fight as a continuation of the dagestan irish rivalry [5:05] listen if they if you want to call me brazilian i'll carry that badge of honor no problem brazilians [5:11] in this sport have some of the greatest greatest resumes in this sport the brazilian ufc fans they [5:18] know this we've got damia maya child's ready vader anderson silva led jose aldo legends of the game [5:25] so if he considers me brazilian i'll take that with pride but i'm born and bred in dublin ireland [5:30] this fight this is between me and him this is two of the greatest fighters on the planet going face to [5:35] face for the most important title in the world it's that welterweight world title on the line he's the [5:40] number one pound for pound fight on the planet i'm the number one contender this is the biggest fight [5:44] of the year and i'm so ready for it he says that you have nothing special to show him on saturday [5:51] night what do you think beating islam would do improving that you are a special fighter beating [5:57] improves that i'm special everybody right here everybody in this stadium every single one of [6:02] you fans consider him to be the number one pound for pound fighter on the planet you consider him to be [6:09] the greatest martial artist walking the earth right now when i beat him you'll all shut your [6:15] fucking mouth and you'll call me great ian clearly you're having fun with the crowd are you a little [6:22] bit surprised why don't these people like you i couldn't give a fuck i couldn't care less my little [6:28] boys here laughing at me smiling and making faces i'm living the dream islam's here i get to show up [6:35] on saturday night and fight for a world title i dreamt of this dream when i was a 16 year old kid [6:40] i dreamt of being a ufc fighter i dreamt of having the ability to fight for a ufc world title [6:46] and this weekend on august 15th in philadelphia pennsylvania all of my dreams come true and nobody [6:53] nobody can take that away from you islam are you a little bit surprised that the fans seem to not [6:58] like ian so much are you a little bit surprised that the fans are so against ian this saturday no i don't [7:06] surprise i know no nobody like anger myself also he don't hey i don't know because people confuse which [7:18] country you represent brazil or ireland people don't know people know who they have to support [7:24] thank you for all your support islam a lot of fans sometimes say that ian is annoying do you find [7:31] ian gary annoying that's a loaded question sorry yeah what you're doing there is just trying to cause [7:36] trouble don't do it i was trying your friends i was like that we were cool don't do it i was trying to [7:44] that's just putting words in his mouth and you know it it's true if he finds that he can be honest and [7:49] he can say that but your job as a journalist is to be professional and stick to the sport this is [7:54] the biggest fight of the year i think is more important things to talk about question for ian [8:02] gary question for ian machado gary ian conor mcgregor predicted that you would win by head kick [8:11] knockout what type of energy have you gotten from him the last 12 years dude that would be a phenomenal [8:18] finish i already know that this fight on saturday night is going to be the toughest fight of my life [8:23] i have the toughest challenger of my career ahead of me and i have nothing but respect the job for [8:28] me is get my hand raised that's my job by any means necessary if i could finish him that's a cherry on [8:34] top a question for islam makachev you've beaten everybody at lightweight you're stacking up your [8:41] resume at welterweight if you beat ian machado gary would that be the biggest win of your career [8:49] no it's not gonna be biggest biggest win in my career it's the title fight i take two title and [8:56] now i'm gonna defense my welterweight title and welterweight right now it's more competitive division [9:02] and i have more more good opponents and that's why i want to fight more years because we have real [9:11] contenders in this division dana right here as a philly guy myself i think i can speak for everyone [9:20] behind me seven years too long without ufc in philly so i agree i agree can we get it back sooner [9:26] this time maybe yeah yeah definitely i agree i love this city man i love coming here and uh yeah i'm [9:33] really pumped to be here so the answer is yes sir glad to have you back islam uh one more for me for [9:40] you here ian yesterday at media day said he wants to embody rocky balboa uh some of the southpaw the left [9:47] took is there a world where you embody rocky and make this a striking war that you can win oh i don't [9:53] know how it's gonna be who is gonna be rocky but my plan to step to the cage from the first second [10:00] pressure him taking down broke him and finish him there i've been looking for the finish this right [10:06] who's next go ahead hey dana first off welcome back to philadelphia thank you sir and secondly when [10:17] you were putting this card together were there any issues getting multiple philly guys on the show [10:21] what's the question when you were putting the show together were there any issues putting multiple [10:26] philly guys on the show i don't even know are there issues putting multiple philly guys on the show [10:33] you want more philly guys right i'll let sean and mick know go ahead the question is for young [10:46] machado gary and hello so a lot of russian fighters with a wrestling background didn't really wrestle this [10:52] year mofsar didn't wrestle against murphy uncle i didn't didn't wrestle against perera last year [10:57] hamza shimaev almost didn't wrestle against sean so what is the chance that islam will not wrestle [11:03] against you on saturday night islam is better than all of them islam is the greatest right on the planet [11:08] right now islam is going to come in there he's going to grab a hold me at one point and that's the [11:13] moment the fight starts i'm excited for that point to prove my talents my skill sets to be able to show [11:19] everybody that i can stop the grappling and bring the fight where i need it on the feet and a question for [11:26] islam machachev a теперь по-русски islam salam alaikum we know how hard your camps are the camps of [11:51] habib namagomedov but this is the city of rocky we all saw the movie you know how hard rocky trained [11:56] he ran up the stairs he carried logs he was beating up the carcasses of frozen meat if rocky balboa was [12:03] to enter the camp of habib namagomedov do you think he would show himself well do you think he would [12:07] complete it uh alexa rocky ita pro tijol we turn off keep right tijol we put that off cool yadam [12:15] flaggeri khayyba we can do the second and the third type of rocky training go ahead question for [12:34] islam islam after your last win in new york dana said after the press conference that everything [12:40] abdul manap predicted with habib and you pretty much came true i just want to know if he was here today [12:47] what would he think of how your career has progressed and what would he think you need [12:52] still to do to become the go to the sport uh let's talk about the goat about the old numbers after [13:00] my career because he'd be proud of him i'm still looking at what he's doing still

with two this level high high level jujitsu practitioners [13:46] uh what could we expect from the grappling exchanges this weekend um i mean lots of [13:54] scrambles probably some mission attacks ground and pound the whole thing i feel like uh i'm not [14:03] going to play jujitsu i'm going to play violence so that's all we're going to see all right and um [14:08] secondly uh ian gary um does it um have you noticed like uh how does it feel going into this weekend with [14:16] the whole crowd against you it feels like and just with the chance of history at the line along with the [14:20]
