We are on the verge of UFC two ninety six, and we're not Christmas Ejaminas for the winning show, you look good.
I'm making people happy to go to the hotel, but I'm actually going to be I'm actually I want to be the Grinch.
I want you to let me in your Christmas because I will ruin that motherfucker.
I would just be so gretchy. I'm a rock.
Hey, this dude, yes, this dude today comes in. It puts his mouth, his filthy mouth on my drink. It's so disgusting. It now belongs to him. It's your drink.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, hey, but listen, I have to take you don't.
Oh my god, this guy right? All right, So bro, I gotta ask you a question. This is crazy, This is true. So Ian, Gary, my man's kind of been tripping all over himself recently. Right, Sean Strickland's attacking him. He uh so, Sean Stricklan attack him about this story right about his wife writing a book?
You saw that, right?
And Ian tells a story about his wife and the elevator telling him to fight homes out your mind?
Did you so? He said? So? After Sean Strickland, let me fix your makes.
This whole thing about his wife and saying how she tells him to do all this shit, Ian tells the story about how one time him and his wife were in the elevator and she was telling him fight.
Him, fight him, like fight him.
And then when in person, in real life, just in real life, in the elevator, she was telling Ian he'll fight homes out in the elevator, I swear to god, Ian said. When they got out, she goes, oh, you're such a pussy. Why would he tell that story? After Sean Strickland does that? But this is recently, he said, the story after Sean Trickland told said he she will do Why would he tell that story? I mean, a part of me feels really bad for this dude.
For you to have.
And you have everyone talking about your wife, that's awful. I wouldn't build a handle it either, like this is that was that would be a nightmare. And and then for him to do that, like I don't know, he's making it worse for himself.
That's what I was thinking. I was like, why would he tell that story?
That's unless unless, unless they're smarter than everybody and they're just trying to paint her as that.
Right, they would kind of go with it, put out a video and it's like get on there and everything.
He's trying to roll that.
He's trying to be like he's cool dead and they're laughing about it, but deep downside, he cannot be cool with all these people talking about it.
Listen, God, hell, it looks it is. The whole thing. The whole thing is suspect.
You know.
I feel bad for the kid.
I think the kid, he's got a very it seems like she's very in control of his life and she's on top of it. I mean, she's way older. She got him super young. She knew what she was getting into and I don't know if he did. And now it's in this tough position with the whole world seeing it.
Yeah, and uh, that's tough because what do you do. You can't just got a divorce?
No, Well, he loves his wife, right, loves his wife as his kid. I just don't get why he would say the story. The story to me is like I would start telling stories about how loving and caring she is to kind of try to switch the narrative because that would kind of that felt like that kind of fed into the idea of what Sean's like. Sehn says some crazy shit, right, Sean says crazy shit like women should just stay in the kitchen, which is not true, but it almost fed into that idea, right because now you're saying, well, it seems like she's in control of his life.
But part of that is because I just told you that story that he told.
You. Know, if a wife is telling you to try to fight in another UFC fighter in the elevator and if you don't, you're a pussy. This is bad. She's just trying to get Maybe she wants some drama to happen.
Maybe she's Joe.
Maybe they're big into the YouTube, right and yeah, social media, they're obsessed with that. They want to get as many likes as possible. And I think that's why, you know, he goes from the gyms. He's been filmed all the time. People don't like it because you know, he's documenting every bit of it. There's no sanctity within the team.
It's kind of horrible because it keeps getting like it feels like, oh so Leon Edwards, his coaches said they put him out of the gym.
Then now Seth Luke saying he can't go back to Kilcliffe.
It's like this kid is like he loved that nomad lifestyle, but it feels like he's gonna be forced to kind of live it even if he doesn't necessarily want to.
And maybe that's because of all that stuff that you know you're saying. And what a turnaround. This kid.
He was universally loved. Everybody loved him and so he didn't care what people thought. Look what he said, this is the history. This is why he's getting so much sleck. What did he say about Neil Magne.
And his kids? That was bad?
Neil Magni. He says, you know, he spanked his kids or something in an interview. Guess what, he's a parent. He's allowed to spank his kids if he thinks that's best.
For his kids.
So for him to come out when he's like a one year old and try to portray Magne as a guy who now you know, abuses his children, that is that is something you don't just just say about somebody else.
That's messed up. And so all of a sudden you start seeing all these things come out about him, everyone rightfully.
So because of the things he said in the past about other people, he's gonna get all the hate.
John Strickland came at him for that. And then we get the identity he was gonna sue it like there's no real suited fighting.
There's just no suited fighting. Hold on guys, Logan Poll was gonna suiting. He's not doing it. His wife he is not suing this, really, his wife is suing. That was just a threat. That is legitimately This is what was wrong with you. You make shut up. This is legitimiate. He's actually, yeah, that was a big deal. He couldn't say certain things. He had tons of lawsuits coming at him before that fight. Has that ever happened?
And I don't think that Mike Tyson Big Mike Tyson fell on the ground and bit.
Lennox Lewis and they didn't sue it. This goes into does it ever go too far? The promotions? And this brings us the COVID. Covington got that that was off what he didn't like that? But he didn't like that, Okay, side I didn't like. I did not like it. I hate it. I feel like you're about to like condone his action. But we have to look at both sides. Okay, okay, I don't like it.
I hate what he said. That's as low as you well, because here's the deal. Let me ask you how many things his connor said that it's so dark?
Yes, yes, and look at what happened after the fight.
Could be jumped over the case to go fight with it.
But how much money do they all make because of that? Kuld beat never has to fight again.
No, you're right.
All his friends, family, everyone around him is taking care for the rest of their life.
He's got.
He could have Ferraris on top of Ferraris and the amount of money that has probably just been generated for this fight with Kobe Covington and who's finding.
Oh my god, I cannot believe you just said that. Bro, you're working this year you talk about they talk. I'm the one. I'm the one. I'm the one that doesn't do her research.
This mustn't make event again, I can't remember, Bro, I mean Leon Edwards, as much as that is fucked up to say to him, he probably just made so much money because he gets Yes he does, but is it worth so if he just bought him and his family ferraris?
Is it? Is it wrong? Oh my I would never do that.
Here this dude saying there is no limited I would never go to the low.
I would never do that.
Let me tell you. Let me tell you one of the things I know about fighters. Fighters, I thought I would you know you could. I would want to. Maybe a little part of me would be like, oh, this would be great.
Sell.
That's what I'm almost like selling your soul. But that's what I want to say. But that's what I want to say. When were these press conferences? Nothing are the vast majority of it is not just for the moment. He thought about saying that. He thought about maybe saying that about Leon Edwards and his father. Because you don't come up with that, I'm gonna drag you to the gates of Hell, seven layers of Hell or whatever. Yeah, he said hair and then he messed up, and then he said hell. And maybe he just got pissed off. He said, Harry messed up. He mumbled a little bit, and then he was like, I'm going deep. That was a dirt man. You know.
Problem The problem was, Yeah, he was murdered, gnat related. Here's the problem. You saw a real action from Leon Edwards. He grabbed the fucking thing and threw it at him. He was he saw. It was a real reaction. So now there's more bad blood to it than ever. But I promise you I took an early nap four thirty. I went to bed. I woke up to so many messages saying, man, Kobe Covington is something else.
This is bullshit. We don't like it. So many people are disappointed.
But it's like Kobe Covington, Sean Strickland, and the guy that Kobe talks about all the time, President Trump.
They are very a lot of supporters.
So for as much as some people may go all Kobe Covington. There are a lot of people that be like, oh, sounds like like you, but you actually just that way. He's selling the fight, but he has to think about.
What you.
Were. I would never talk about somebody's family like that, absolutely not.
But this guy has definitely made the decision to create a part for himself and he is all in.
Look at him. He' dressed up as George Washington and Donald Trump had on. I mean, the guy is he's.
It was a real reaction if you're like a w W Egan, But imagine but does he have to win?
Though?
But does he have to win?
Though?
I mean he would you. Does he have to win after that? It doesn't matter.
People want him to lose so bad now that they're saying that people are going to be tuning in there, that's all he cares. But there are one thing but the guy is training hard. The guy has a problem inside that out the gun. People look at him like, here's this big jokes of w W dude, who has this stuff definitely scripted for him? There's definitely people in his ears, smart people.
Who getting tails like one of his idols. There's some definitely some other dudes in there.
But so you know, I know, I know he'll put the card back, you know, just like you know you're saying, chill, But there there are smart people that are giving him things to say that are going to turn. And in that meeting and in that he made a decision in that meaning, and in that meeting, they probably said.
Would you be willing to do this? Would you be willing to say this? That was probably a question, would you what I saw?
A chill? Did you see a Chail wrote? Hey, what time is it? Thirty eight fourteen? Though, okay, we got six minutes?
So Child just tweeted I think after that, and how to pertain to this, it was if you don't go too far, you'll never know if you've gone far enough.
So he's he's behind this.
Look at the things that Chail's son said about Brazil, and that was the beginning.
No one's ever seen trash talk like that before until Child Sun. Remember what he was saying about the Garro brothers petting the bus.
They don't have.
Electricity in Brazil.
You know, the things he said about a whole country, right, and then next thing I know, you got Connor talking trash about a whole country.
Dude, you can honestly take it too far, bro Like I felt like that.
And I don't dislike Kobe Covington like most. He's a wrestler.
I know him, and I know I can see the gammes and he's a good I know it's the gimmick you see a good guy.
From what I know, I don't know him personally. We recruited him to go to Ocoma State. That's where I met Kobe Covington, so I have I have a long history with him that most don't, right, But I don't know that he's I don't know that he was. I don't know if he expected that what he said to Garner that he had to expect that reaction, a real reaction to a guy that wants.
To kill you. Now it's you're gonna fight regardless. So it's like I guess, going that far as it is in the game.
This is the crazy thing is that this is just the beginning of where our sport is heading. And that's the scary thing. If Kolbe Covington is saying this now, what happens for five years from now? What are these young be The amount of people that are watching this and seeing the amount of money that is being generated from things like that, just on a during a press conference to fight week. During fight week, people are gonna see that and they but, oh, I could say some crazy things out there and guess what, I can make a lot of money, and.
You're gonna see You're gonna see more and more of this. That's crazy unfortunately, because it's tough.
I like it just as the sport, right, but the entertainment value of it, you know, people are gonna say crazy.
I could talk to this dude for an hour. Maybe we'd do a podcast together, me and the All Americas. Guys, Go go to Chris's YouTube channel, watch his podcast Never Back Down, and tap into everything he's doing.
