Josh Hokit goes OFF on Ciryl Gane’s mom and everything else

[0:00] What's up, New York? Thanks for coming out today in this shitty weather. [0:04] Who's got the first question? [0:07] All the way in the back, I'll start with the champion Cyril Ghosn. [0:10] Cyril, he's right here. You're good. Right here. [0:16] First question, can I just get your reaction to the frosty reception you're getting here in New York? [0:26] Talk about the fan reception you've received here in New York. [0:30] You're just surprised at how you've been received when you walked out. [0:33] Which reflection? [0:41] Ah, I'm okay. That's perfectly normal. Come to France, you're gonna see. It's gonna be worse. [0:48] Obviously, as the undisputed heavyweight champion, you don't get to picture your opponents. [0:58] There's a lot of heavyweights that were upset that Josh got the first shot at your undisputed belt. [1:03] So do you think Josh earned his heavyweight title shot? [1:08] Yeah, honestly, he deserved it. He's a great athlete. He did very well. [1:13] He's on a good race, and he has a big mouth also, because that's pretty good for the business. [1:19] You said he has a big mouth, but you've also called him funny, and you said he's smart, and he's not a dumb person. [1:25] So what do you make of this stick that Josh is bringing to this press conference? [1:29] This is his character, and I understand it, and I'm really comfortable with it. [1:34] What was it? [1:36] And questions for Josh Hokit. We see the goggles. We see the pad behind your head. I think you have a cup on as well. [1:48] Is this all just poking fun of all the fouls that you've said Cyril has been doing in his fights? [1:53] I want you to yell at the top of your lungs, [1:59] Fuck Cyril gone on three. One, two, three. [2:04] Hey Cyril, how's your mom doing? You know what I'm saying? FaceTime, I don't give a fuck. You know what I'm saying? [2:15] Come on. Hey, what's the difference between your mom and the washing machine? [2:19] When I dump a load in the washing machine, she don't follow me around for nine months. [2:25] Look how I talk to him. Look how I talk to him, you know what I'm saying? This is the champion? [2:31] Fuck out of here, bitch. [2:36] Josh, can I ask what's in the bag in front of you on the table? [2:40] That's that future water. It's my birthday today, you know what I'm saying? [2:43] It's that future water coming out soon. We got McGregor has the Mac light energy. [2:49] Apollo has that. I'll take that. Apollo has that secret juice. [3:06] I'm coming out with that future water coming soon. [3:09] And another question for you, Josh. Like I said to Cyril, a lot of heavyweights are very upset that you got this shot at Cyril. [3:16] Do you have a message for the rest of the division before your title fight? [3:19] Fuck the division. Fuck Cyril gone. It's the end of this man's career. [3:25] Cyril gone. Say goodbye to your career. [3:29] Nah, nah, nah, nah. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Hey, hey, hey. Goodbye. [3:37] One more time, one more. [3:38] Nah, nah, nah, nah. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Hey, hey, hey. [3:45] Cyril, man. You ain't gonna do shit about that. Fuck you. [3:51] Question for you, Dana. What do you make of everything that's happening next to you on stage right now? [3:57] Oh, you know how I feel about schticks. I don't like them. [4:00] Uh, I didn't like his schtick. [4:02] But for anybody to say he doesn't deserve this fight's crazy. He earned this fight. [4:06] That he absolutely did. [4:08] Hey, at the end of the day, Dana White's payment type is amazing fights. [4:11] So, all this shit, all the shenanigans aside, I'm the one in this division putting on the good fights. [4:18] But, you know what I'm saying? [4:20] Hey, when I say bald, you say head. [4:23] BALD! BALD! BALD! [4:28] Who's got another question? [4:29] Dana, you're my twin. I love you, Dana. I love you. [4:32] It's all good. It's all good. What do you got? [4:34] I have one more question for you, Dana, unrelated to this fight. [4:36] This is the first time we've seen you since the situation with Merab in Abu Dhabi when he got jumped by Usman. [4:42] Do you have a reaction or any updates to what he's going on in Abu Dhabi? [4:45] Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous and stupid and they're all in jail and that is not a place to go fuck around. [4:54] Go ahead, who's got the next question? [4:59] Question for Kayla. Kayla, you're coming off a very serious neck surgery. [5:04] How much does this fight matter to you and your legacy and what kind of conversations have you had with your doctor? [5:11] I'm 100% fully healed. God is good. He is big. [5:16] It took a long time to get back to where I am, but Saturday night I'm going to put on an ass whooping. [5:21] Question for Josh. What do you think about the Merab situation? [5:29] And do you have any concern that the Obamas are going to do that to you? [5:39] I mean, that's some coward shit, you know what I'm saying? [5:43] Like, cowards hide in numbers. [5:46] And so I understand if you're going to confront someone one-on-one, you're going to slap someone. [5:51] It's a one-on-one fate. But, I mean, you're going to have your whole team jump. [5:55] That's some fucking pussy shit, you know what I'm saying? [5:58] Question for Amanda Nunes. Amanda, first of all, welcome back. It's good to have you. [6:05] Thank you. I'm happy too. [6:07] Talk to us about your return. Was it just missing this sport that brought you back? [6:13] Or was it Kayla Harrison having the belt and you wanted to take it from her that brought you back? [6:18] That definitely motivated me the most. But I text then, I say, like, I rest. [6:26] I did everything that I want outside the fighter ward. Now I'm ready to come back. [6:31] So when Kayla got the belt back, I literally sent him a mess. I'm ready to go. [6:35] I'm going to be the one that's going to take my belt back from Kayla. [6:39] Obviously, you two trained together in the past. I don't know how closely, but was there something in the training room that you saw in her that makes you know you can beat her? [6:48] Honestly, it's like train with her and we both have advantage. You know, we know each other very well. So, but like Saturday nights, she never fight a lioness before. So, this is another level kind of game, you know? So, and I mean, he has a challenge. [7:06] I mean, he has a double champion. It's completely different. They all the opponents that she face. [7:14] Hey, can I say something real quick? Hey, listen. On that side of the table, they like dick. On this side of the table, we like pussy. Am I right? [7:25] Fuck off, Josh. [7:34] Who's got the next question? [7:39] Here. Here. Question for Cyril. [7:45] You talked a little bit about how you won the belt. How are you looking at this Saturday? Like you're winning or you're defending this belt? [8:07] It's for my defense, my title defense. Question for Cyril. Josh is a huge underdog. Do you think he does that just to gain an advantage over you? [8:22] I let him the press conference. This is his fight. I'm going to take the fight. Saturday. It's going to be for me. [8:35] Do you have a message for the French who are watching you tomorrow? [8:37] A message for the French friends. [8:39] A message for the French. [8:40] A message for the French. [8:41] Thank you for being behind me. Hey, such a... [8:43] Hey, this buff Teddy Cram. [8:45] Looks like a glazed donut. [8:46] We leave the press conference. [8:48] Hey, they call him... [8:49] Hey, they call him Bon Gaiman. [8:51] More like Bon Gaiman. [8:53] Am I right, New York? [8:55] Let's go, Cyril. [9:02] Go ahead. [9:05] Hi, question for Josh Hockett. [9:10] Josh, except for all the trash talking and everything you've said, how proud are you to be in this position after this once-in-a-lifetime ride in just 371 days you are fighting for the title here at the MSG? [9:26] I'm so grateful for it, you know what I'm saying? It's like, listen, men lie, women lie, numbers don't. And so I earned this spot at this position and I'm grateful for it, you know what I'm saying? [9:36] Now I'm going to fucking fuck up this bump and get him out of the UFC. [9:40] Luis, over here in the middle. [9:44] Bilal said you're the perfect matchup for him to find another highlight reel finish. [9:48] Obviously you disagree, but why is he wrong? [9:50] Hey, obviously I disagree. [9:53] He's not going to find an easy finish. All I know is the fight. I'll let him finish it. He likes to say it. It's going to be bad. [10:01] Bilal, obviously you want the highlight reel finish, but if you don't get the finish, we haven't seen that from you in the UFC. So how do you handle the deep water? Are you made for that? [10:11] Hey, real quick. This is my first ever press conference. The crowd is amazing. I'm going to get a quick video. Everyone just go crazy. What's up MSG? Let's go, baby. [10:25] Alright, alright. Sorry, what was your cussing again, Mr. Jake? [10:31] Talk to me about the deep waters, Bilal. We haven't seen it here. What does that look like if you go there? [10:35] I've definitely been in the deep waters before. That's what my regional professional career was for. In CFFC, I fought in the fourth round and I was compromised. [10:43] I got my legs snapped in the second and I still was able to go out there and finish him. So I have so much confidence. I'm riding on this momentum and I just look to continue my momentum this Saturday night, November 14th, baby. Let's go. [10:56] Last one for me. Bilal, sticking with you. Any official prediction? [10:59] Yeah, one second. Let me think here. Hey, chat, what's your prediction, chat, this Saturday, Bilal Hassan versus Luis Gurule? [11:12] Big matchup. Pulling the latest. I'm calling it Bilal Hassan by First Round TKO. [11:21] You guys heard it, baby. That wasn't me. That was AI. Let's ride with that. [11:26] Question for Kyle Bahaglio. Your opponent, Yuzri Belgari, said he's the best striker in the middleweight division. What are your thoughts on those comments and do you believe you're facing the best striker at 185 pounds? [11:42] I face a lot of great strikers, right? A lot of dangerous opponents. It's not the first striker that I'm facing. And you see what I did with good strikers already. I think he's one of them. He's a very good striker. I'm taking him very, very seriously. [12:00] But guess what? I already took down a Dutch guy this year. This is the second one. Let's go. [12:07] You didn't answer the question. Who is the best striker of the division? That was the question. [12:16] Who is the best striker of the division? If I'm the best striker. Like I said, what is your comment to that? [12:27] I already comment. I've already faced great strikers. I don't think you're the best striker of the division. Striking in kickboxing is way different than striking in MMA. [12:40] Exactly. And Saturday Night. I'm going to prove you that. I'm going to make you understand what a striker from a fighter look like. And you're going to see. [12:51] I already strike with one of the best strikers in the division. Imafor. [12:55] Lost. [12:56] Cannoneer. He has three knockouts in three different weight divisions. And you was only facing bums. [13:03] It was only. [13:04] So now you have a real opponent in front of you. [13:07] Only fought one good striker. That was Imafor. What happened? [13:09] What? [13:10] Only fought one good striker. That was it. [13:12] Not one good striker. I fought a lot of good strikers. I can count you right now. [13:16] I have Michal Lexychuk. You were old. [13:18] Michal Lexychuk. Eleven KO's in the first round in the UFC. [13:22] Jared Cannoneer. Knockouts. [13:24] Old. [13:25] Three divisions in the UFC. [13:27] Back in the 90s. [13:28] You have only three fights in the UFC, bro. Come on, chill out. You're here because of me. [13:32] Exactly. Three knockouts. When I touch you, you fall down, brother. [13:34] You're here because of me. [13:35] You're all about statistics, right? [13:36] That's what I'm saying. [13:37] You're a nerd, right? You're a nerd. [13:39] Okay, so you like statistics. Three fights, three knockouts. What about your fights? [13:44] My fights. I have nine fights in the UFC. [13:47] Exactly. What happened? [13:48] The highest level opponents. You only had opponents becoming a losing streak or losing record. [13:53] Not really. Not really. [13:54] Come on, man. You lost to Marco Tullio in Continental Series. [13:57] Better wrestlers than you, bro. [13:58] And he's not even a top 50 guy. [14:00] Better wrestlers than you, I thought. [14:01] Come on, man. You know, I'm not taking you out, bro. With all the respect, I'm counting you as a good fighter that's coming with a great challenge for me. [14:11] But as always, man, I do my homework and I take an A-plus as a fighting nerd does. And that's what I'm gonna do on Saturday night. [14:21] I'm gonna solve this equation and I'm gonna show you and everyone their levels to this game. [14:28] That's your fault, bro. That's studying too much. You should fight more. [14:32] Let's go. Let's go. I have... How many rounds you have in the UFC? Nine. [14:36] I don't need that round. [14:37] I have 30. 30 rounds in the highest level. [14:41] Yeah, because every fight is five rounds. [14:42] 30 rounds in the highest level of this company. [14:46] Yes. [14:47] Yes. [14:49] You want to talk about numbers. [14:50] Exactly. [14:51] Your numbers are way lower than mine, bro. Come on. [14:54] Listen, it's not about statistics. There's a lot of favorites in the graveyard. [14:59] If it was about statistics, Alexander would have fucking take on the Persian Empire. [15:04] Hedda Ball would have killed 80,000 men on Kenai. [15:06] Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. [15:08] The graveyard is filled with statistics, motherfucker. [15:10] He's trying to get this shit. [15:12] I'm underdog and I love it. Come on, man. [15:14] When I bite, I bite to kill. Oh, yeah. Bite my dick, motherfucker. [15:17] I'm not here to play, man. Bite my dick, motherfucker. [15:20] I'm not gay, bro. You're right. That table is gay. You like dick. [15:24] And that's the first thing you'll do when we fight. [15:27] The first thing you'll do is put your mouth right there and smell that shit. [15:31] Because you'll love it. Let's see. Let's see, bro. Let's see. [15:34] No, it's what you're gonna do. You're gonna shoot for life. You think... [15:38] Put your head down there. Okay. If you say that, get ready for that. [15:41] And you're gonna see. I am ready for that. [15:43] You're gonna see that. I've been seeing that for the past few years. [15:45] Yeah, okay. People always wanna be there. [15:47] I don't even spray cologne over there. They find a moment. [15:49] Okay, okay, bro. You're one of them. You're just talking shit. [15:52] Come on. It's a fight on Saturday night. [15:55] Exactly. We're gonna showcase our skills. [15:57] And we're gonna see who's the better man. Let's see. [15:59] Exactly. Who's got the next question? [16:02] Right over here. Question for Josh. [16:04] Alex Pereira just walked in and sat in front row. [16:07] Do you have a message to him before Saturday night? [16:10] Shit. I'm a shama on his mama. [16:14] Shut up. And he ain't gonna do shit about it. [16:16] Shut up. Shut up. [16:17] He ain't gonna do shit about it. [16:18] Shut up. Fuck you. [16:19] Shut up. Fuck you. [16:21] You should just come over. [16:27] My next one's for Kayla Harrison. [16:29] Kayla, Amanda said she's never lost the championship status. [16:33] Do you feel like you need to prove you're the champion on Saturday night? [16:37] I feel like I am gonna prove the champion on Saturday night and then I'll give her an automatic rematch at 1.45 so I can snatch that other belt. [16:46] No gonna have a rematch. [16:47] Let's see, baby. [16:48] I'll give you an automatic rematch. [16:50] If you don't respect me, I can beat you, Kayla. [16:52] You're not supposed to be sitting down right there. [16:53] Listen. [16:54] You think you're the best? [16:55] I think I'm the best on Saturday night? [16:56] We're gonna find out. [16:57] If you don't really respect me, I can beat you Saturday. [16:59] Of course I think you're... [17:00] You're not supposed to sit right there. [17:01] Everybody's tough until you beat them. [17:02] I'm gonna be honest with you. [17:04] Look at my eyes. [17:05] Everybody's tough until you beat them. [17:06] If you don't respect me, I can beat you Saturday. [17:09] You're not supposed to be a champion. [17:11] You're gonna find out. [17:12] Everybody's tough until you beat them. [17:13] I respect everyone, but I fear no one. [17:18] You know what I'm capable of. [17:19] I respect everyone, but I fear no one. [17:21] You know. [17:22] And I tell you what. [17:23] After I take this belt that she never lost, I'll give her an automatic rematch at 1.45 and I'll snatch that belt too. [17:29] Yeah. [17:30] I respect everyone, but I fear no one. [17:32] And on Saturday night, you're gonna see that. [17:33] You're waiting so much to get in the UFC. [17:35] Wait, so I left. [17:36] So you signed with me. [17:37] I didn't wait. [17:38] I was under contract. [17:39] We were teammates. [17:40] It was never gonna happen that way. [17:42] No one was planning it. [17:44] No one was scheming it. [17:45] That was not the thing. [17:47] The media, every day, ask me about you. [17:49] Exactly. [17:50] Of course I'm gonna say I want to fight you, Amanda. [17:53] You are the greatest. [17:54] For now. [17:55] And on Saturday night, that changes. [17:56] I think that's what it was. [17:59] Saturday night, that changes. [18:00] The media and your feet was feed by. [18:03] And one thing that I did was. [18:06] What? [18:07] The media. [18:08] They ask you every day. [18:09] Of course the media asks. [18:10] Exactly. [18:11] Listen. [18:12] You are the one that said in the interview. [18:13] You knew. [18:14] When I walked into ATT, that I was different. [18:17] You said that. [18:18] And you're right. [18:19] I am different. [18:20] Exactly. [18:21] I do believe in myself. [18:22] I do believe I'm the greatest. [18:23] And I knew this fight was gonna happen. [18:24] Far away. [18:25] And that's why I left that. [18:26] Because it's the same match. [18:27] We're gonna find out. [18:28] The same coach. [18:29] We never wanna do that. [18:31] They don't wanna do that. [18:32] So, to this happen. [18:33] They were protecting you. [18:34] From me. [18:35] Protecting me. [18:36] Protecting me. [18:37] Are you serious? [18:38] Are you serious? [18:39] We're gonna find out. [18:40] After knowing my resume, you think I'm scared of you, Kayla? [18:42] What? [18:43] You think I'm scared of you? [18:44] I don't care if you're scared of me or not. [18:46] My job is full out there. [18:48] Whoop your ass. [18:49] Nobody's gonna protect me, baby. [18:50] Nobody's gonna protect me. [18:51] Nobody's gonna protect you on Saturday night? [18:53] I make my own way all the way here. [18:55] You think I'm scared of you? [18:56] You made your way. [18:57] I made my way. [18:58] We're gonna find out. [18:59] Are you serious? [19:00] No, I'm not running from Cyborg. [19:03] I was under contract. [19:04] And then you left the gym because you felt threatened by me. [19:08] And now I'm here and it's gonna happen. [19:11] You know, baby. [19:12] I wanna fight you. [19:13] Your worst nightmares are coming true. [19:15] Because I wanna be the only one to raise the flag in the gym. [19:19] Not two girls. [19:20] Raise the flag in the gym. [19:21] What? [19:22] You know what I mean? [19:23] The name. [19:24] The name of the gym. [19:25] The name of the gym. [19:26] Yeah. [19:27] Okay. [19:28] Now you don't understand anything. [19:29] I didn't leave MVP. [19:30] I'm loyal. [19:31] The same four coaches that I started with, I'm gonna end with. [19:35] Because I'm loyal. [19:36] I don't blame anyone for my losses. [19:38] We're gonna see each other Saturday night. [19:39] We're gonna find out on Saturday night. [19:41] You know what I mean? [19:42] We're gonna find out. [19:43] Let's go, baby. [19:44] Let's go. [19:45] Bring this energy. [19:46] We're gonna do it. [19:47] Let's go. [19:48] We're gonna do it. [19:50] Listen. [19:51] I'm bringing the... [19:52] I'm making press conference is great again. [19:53] You know what I'm saying? [19:54] What? [19:55] So it's like, these people wouldn't be talking if it wasn't for me. [19:57] So... [19:58] And then... [19:59] Hey, sir. [20:00] You see how they're talking back and forth? [20:01] You could do that too. [20:02] You know what I'm saying? [20:03] But look, he's a scared little bitch. [20:04] I know. [20:05] I know. [20:06] I'm sorry. [20:07] I'm sorry. [20:08] I'm sorry, brother. [20:10] But my English is so bad. [20:11] That's why. [20:12] Now you can't speak English. [20:13] Hey, hey. [20:14] You guys caught this guy being a fairy. [20:16] It's the new UFC's power couple. [20:18] Him and Ian Gary. [20:19] You know what I'm saying? [20:20] Come on. [20:21] Try watching Disney movies together. [20:23] Fuck out of here, bitch. [20:24] All right. [20:28] Go ahead, you. [20:29] Yeah, you up. [20:30] Juris Medich. [20:31] You're having a great year. [20:32] You brought the UFC to the Balkans. [20:34] Shout out Serbia. [20:35] Two fights so far in this year. [20:38] How great would this year be if you capped it with a W in the world's most famous arena? [20:43] Hey, what's up, New York? [20:45] My first time here. [20:46] This shit is crazy. [20:47] Hey, listen. [20:49] This guy's been saying that this side of the table likes dick. [20:52] But in fact, that side of the table has been making money and hitting the rankings by using their mouth. [20:58] So I think it's the other side that's actually more in kind. [21:02] I thought we were friends. [21:03] What the fuck is this, bro? [21:04] Hey, fam. [21:05] What do you mean? [21:06] Hey, hey. [21:07] Josh and Big Mouth over there. [21:09] Hey, tomorrow. [21:10] Hey. [21:11] Josh and Big Mouth over there. [21:12] We're going to find out. [21:13] We're going to find out. [21:14] Just remember this. [21:15] Just remember this. [21:16] Every time people come to fight me, they try and turn into the Big Mouth. [21:19] You want the check that I get. [21:20] You want the clout that I got. [21:21] You want everything that I have, brother. [21:22] So at the end of the day, you could be higher in the rankings. [21:25] But you're still trying to sniff my dick and be like me at the end of the day. [21:28] So yeah. [21:29] You guys like dick on that side. [21:30] It ain't going to be no sniffing. [21:31] I'm coming to fight. [21:32] You know me. [21:33] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. [21:35] Hey, I was nice the whole time. [21:36] You opened your mouth. [21:37] You want to be Big Mouth. [21:38] Like I said, the only person I'm supposed to talk up here is me and this side. [21:41] Shut the fuck up and just show up to the fight, brother. [21:43] Oh, I will. [21:44] I will. [21:45] All right, good. [21:46] Good. [21:47] And don't blow your wad in the first round. [21:48] That took a left turn, Dana. [21:52] You good? [21:53] Kevin, getting a W on Saturday and building closer to the title. [21:58] Would getting a title be the last thing for you to do in this sport? [22:02] Only thing I got to do in this sport is keep showing up and making these fucking checks. [22:06] That's all I got to do. [22:07] And Dana, if you don't mind, on the Usman situation, and I know how you feel about Morabh [22:15] and his antics sometimes. [22:16] Did that whole scuffle in the hotel lobby, did that hurt Usman's chances of signing with [22:21] the UFC? [22:24] He's still under contract. [22:26] We're not talking to him right now anyway, so. [22:30] Gotcha. [22:31] Thank you. [22:32] Yep. [22:34] For Josh Hokett, Josh, happy birthday. [22:36] If you win this fight, you will be the first person under 30 to win a heavyweight championship [22:41] fight since Junior Dos Santos in 2011. [22:45] What is your youth going to bring to the top of this division if you win that belt on Saturday? [22:52] My youth? [22:54] Gotcha. [22:55] Yeah, I'm pulling a Dana White. [22:56] I'm sorry. [22:58] My youth, I mean, it's on my side. [23:02] Everybody in this division is washed up. [23:04] It's time for new blood, and that's what I'm going to do. [23:06] You know what I'm saying? [23:07] I'm going to show, I'm going to show that light skins can't fight. [23:10] Am I right, Kevin Holland? [23:13] Give me some. [23:14] Am I right? [23:15] Do you think, baby? [23:16] Do you think? [23:17] Question for Dana. [23:22] Dana, there is a 21-year-old Georgian wrestler, Sabalazishvili, friend of Morabh [23:30] Dvalishvili. [23:32] He dropped two UFC fighters. [23:34] What was your reaction when you saw it? [23:36] What a bunch of fucking idiots. [23:39] Question, John Bernard with KO Sports. [23:46] This one's for Josh. [23:48] Josh, you were on the Dana White Contender Series and said you'd be a champion within two years. [23:53] You're now one fight away from the heavyweight champion. [23:56] What made you so confident you'd get this shot so quickly? [23:59] Yeah, I mean, it's just, I'm the only one trying to do anything in this division. [24:03] You know what I'm saying? [24:04] It's like, overnight sensations take 10 years to make. [24:07] And I know all the shit that I've been through, wrestling since I was four, playing football since I was seven. [24:12] It's prepared me for this moment. [24:14] So, I'm gonna prove that this Saturday. [24:16] Another one for Cyril. [24:17] Cyril, Josh has been trash talking you all week. [24:20] He's wearing goggles now. [24:22] He's got a cup on. [24:23] What have you made of his antics all week? [24:26] Yeah, no matter. [24:34] Who's scared? [24:35] No matter. [24:36] No matter. [24:37] No matter. [24:38] Okay, no comment. [24:40] And last one for Dana. [24:42] Dana, you admitted you didn't like some of Josh Hockett's comments. [24:46] Now that he's at Madison Square Garden fighting for a heavyweight title, are you surprised he's here? [24:53] Am I surprised he's here? [24:55] Listen, he made it. [24:56] He, he, it's one thing to talk. [24:58] Shut up. [24:59] It's one thing to talk. [25:01] It's another thing to come out and prove it. [25:03] You know, he, he has definitely walked the walk and he deserves to be here. [25:07] Whether you like what he says or don't like what he says. [25:09] Thank you, Dana. [25:10] Go ahead. [25:11] Uh, question for Caio. [25:12] Buhaio. [25:13] Not only are you fighting at MSG, but you're also fighting right before Amanda Nunes. [25:18] So what does it mean to fight in this building and also to share with one of the greats and [25:23] your fellow countrymen as well? [25:24] Oh, yeah. [25:25] First of all, I want to shout out the Garden. [25:27] Yeah, I want to shout out the New York Knicks. [25:31] Let's go! [25:33] And man, like, it means a lot to me. [25:36] I have all my family here with me, all my coaches, everyone from the team. [25:40] We come with 15 people to this fight week. [25:43] So it's, and it's even greater to open up a show the way I'm going to open up to a champion [25:51] like Amanda and to these two girls fighting for the belt. [25:55] All respect to both. [25:56] All respect to the heavyweight guys. [25:58] And I think it's going to be a great show. [26:01] Memorable, as always, in Madison Square Garden. [26:05] Memorable, bro. [26:06] And for Amanda Nunes to be making the walk here at the Garden and have five of your fellow [26:14] Brazilians on the card, what does that mean to you? [26:17] Pretty cool. [26:18] Motivated. [26:19] This is huge for Brazil. [26:20] I'm very excited. [26:21] I feel like this is going to be in the history. [26:23] And to be a part of this with all the Brazilians fighting is amazing. [26:28] I'm going to share with them and they're going to share with me. [26:31] So let's go. [26:32] Thank you. [26:33] After our win, we're going to be celebrating getting some Caipirians. [26:36] Right, Amanda? [26:37] What happened? [26:38] Caipirians. [26:40] Caipirians. [26:41] After our win. [26:42] Let's do it. [26:43] Let's do it. [26:44] Let's go. [26:45] Let's take over New York. [26:46] Right after I beat Kayla, I mean, I want to see who is the first one is going to give [26:51] me a beer, whatever you guys have. [26:53] Let's go. [26:54] Let's do it. [26:55] Brazil and the fighting nerds taking over Madison Square Garden, motherfuckers. [27:01] 10 years ago tonight was UFC 205. [27:08] I want to know from you, Dana, but also, you know, Bilal and Josh, you guys were teenagers. [27:15] But anybody else that might have been in the arena watched it live. [27:19] What were your thoughts about UFC 205 and the beginning of the relationship between the UFC and the world's most famous arena? [27:28] Yeah, no, it was good to finally get here. [27:31] We fought hard, you know, for a lot of years to get into a lot of places, but nowhere harder than New York. [27:37] New York was a tough one. [27:38] And, you know, going into tonight, 10 years later, we're eight of the top ten all-time gates at Madison Square Garden. [27:46] This one's at, like, number five right now, could end up being number four. [27:50] So, yeah, it's, I mean, I don't know what you, it's awesome. [27:56] Good to be back. [27:57] Always great here. [27:58] Always great energy. [27:59] And, yeah, we're excited. [28:02] Thank you. [28:04] Question for Bilal. [28:05] You're opening up this main card at the Fight Mecca. [28:08] You're the biggest favorite on the card in just your second UFC fight. [28:11] Are you starting to feel the extra pressure that all those things can bring? [28:15] And as it sunk in, that this is actually happening in 48 hours? [28:18] Yeah, thank you for that question, Mr. Doug. [28:21] This is just a true privilege to be in this position. [28:24] You know, it's only my second ever UFC fight. [28:26] We're opening up the main card once again. [28:28] The UFC knows what they're doing. [28:30] I'm knowing what I'm doing. [28:31] And I'm just going to put on a show from start to finish, man. [28:34] And then question for Luis. [28:36] It seems like everybody's against you, the betting public, even ChatGPT. [28:40] Are you feeling kind of like your back's against the wall heading into this fight and that you need a win to save your career? [28:46] Nah. [28:47] Everybody can fuck off. [28:49] That's why you fight. [28:50] It's one-on-one in there. [28:52] It doesn't fucking matter. [28:53] I believe in myself. [28:54] My team believes in me. [28:55] We're going to put it on a show and make it that first fight. [28:58] It's going to be a fucking killer fight. [29:04] Go ahead. [29:05] Arturo from The Zone. [29:06] Dana, which accident was worse? [29:10] McGregor 2018 in Brooklyn or what happened yesterday? [29:13] Which one was worse? [29:16] Yes. [29:17] I don't know. [29:22] Josh. [29:23] They're all bad. [29:25] Josh, happy birthday. [29:26] You're turning 29-year-old today. [29:27] I have a question for you and Cyril. [29:29] If you guys would play basketball, who would win? [29:32] You know. [29:33] You know already. [29:35] I'm going to show him my basketball skills when I'm dribbling his face and his head on the canvas on Saturday. [29:41] You know what I'm saying? [29:42] Try to show me something in the local room. [29:43] I'll dunk on your bitch ass. [29:44] I'll beat you in any sport. [29:46] Be honest. [29:47] Any sport you want. [29:48] Be honest. [29:49] Soccer, whatever. [29:50] Basketball. [29:51] No one follow you. [29:52] Be honest. [29:53] Pickleball. [29:54] No one follow you. [29:55] No one follow you. [29:56] I'm the greatest athlete to ever step into the octagon and I'm going to prove that on Saturday. [30:00] Thank you, Dana. [30:01] We're new to UFC back in Germany. [30:03] Thank you. [30:06] Is that it? [30:07] Last one? [30:08] Alright. [30:09] New York. [30:10] Thanks for coming out. [30:11] We're going to rip this stuff out of here and face them off. [30:12] We'll see you tomorrow. [30:13] We'll see you tomorrow. [30:14] We'll see you tomorrow.
