I'm back, guys. Last week we had an amazing week with Ben and I. This episode, some of the other clips did really really well. I think and appreciate you guys as always, but as I've kind of stepped away because little Daniel was getting ready for a state championship tournament, which he won. By the way, proud dad sitting here on his birthday. I was watching news coming out in mixed martial arts, wondering what do we have to discuss now? What do we as a family have to talk about? I do DC and chill. Monday, Sean Strickland starts to talk. He does an interview with De Schmoe, and the root of the interview for the most part, is Sean Strickland believes that he should be next to fight for the championship against DRACS Due plus.

C, who.

C, who.

Is a victually weighing his options between Sean and Israel ed Asignia. I can tell you right now that the fight that was supposed to be USC three hundreds headliner was duplus C versus ed Asnya, but the champion had some stuff he did while the fight was getting finalized. So while I did tease that I knew the main event, it was one of the potential ones for UFC three hundred that ultimately didn't work out. There were a lot of them that didn't work out, but ultimately we got a great one in Jamal Hill versus Alex Perera. Sean Strickland makes his case, says that Edisonya doesn't deserve it, that he should be the guy because Edisonia got rematches after getting knocked out by Pereira, and he lost a very close competitive fight, all things that make sense. So at times Sean Strickland does make sense in his arguments because you can get lost in some of the other stuff that Strickland says and not realize that there is a lot of thought that goes into it. I don't know what fight should go first, but I do know that I believe that the history of Edisanya and Duplus with all the negativity, would seem to be the one that if I'm a company that's looking to build excitement, that I would probably look to approach first, just because of all the stuff that went on the Africa, South Africa, all this other stuff. Because the mess here the better. We've talked about this time and time again, but Sean Strickland can be far right or far left at times. So he starts talking about some of the biggest stars of mixed martial arts, John Jones and all those guys, and while he is saying some of the things that are true and terms of Jones's past The one thing that stood out to me the most was him saying that Johnson just fight aspinall.

I agree.

I agree.

Again, I was watching Sean thinking to myself, while I'm agreed a lot with Sean Strickland, I think they should fight, but I don't know that they will. Jones gonna fight steeper and that's okay. That interaction between Aspina and Jones the other day also didn't do anything to serve excitement, to serve as excitement going forward, because Jones kind of no soul them. If he really was gonna fight him, he would have engaged with him a little more. Sean Strickland had issues with Connor McGregor also saying that now do we really care anymore? That seems to be the old woman sentiment, you know, one of the things with and again I was agreeing with with Sean Strickland. I do care that Connor Stiel fights.

I do.

I do.

I think that he still is the biggest star mixed martial arts. But somethings say, and I mean watching yesterday, Conna McGregor did an interview a couple days ago with ESPN, and I looked at the numbers of the interview and then the first hour the interview did like maybe four thousand views. Five thousand views, still a solid number for the first hour, because that tells you you're looking at about one hundred thousand view A video before conm McGregor interview would have done twenty five thousand to fifty thousand in the first hour. So maybe Sean is speaking for the general public that maybe the intrigue or the excitement for any news Connor has waned a little bit. But I do believe that the moment com McGregor gets back in the outagon, that all will change.

But the thing that I was most intrigued by.

But the thing that I was most intrigued by.

With the Sean Strickland interview was when he started to talk about his mental health. You know, he Sean Strickland is a guy that has a very very dark past, and we all know that, but that dark past has served to make him a world champion fighter and a guy that is willing to go through so much adversity, go through so many ups and downs, never lose sight of the goal and what's in front of him, and has made himself a former world champion.

That started as Walter Wayton, didn't really have many prospects for much success inside the UFC comes back as.

The middleweight champion.

The middleweight champion.

He has made a ton of money, fought unbelievably talented fighters, beaten many of them, lost his belt in the last one as a pay per view headliner, has made money, said he's rich and still can't get past the hurdles.

Mentally.

Mentally.

You know, I want to make sure that we as the consumer, that we as the people watching and paying attention, treat this in the same manner in which we treated Alexander vold Kanowski when he spoke about his issues mentally. Because here's where I think we gotta be careful when we watch these great athletes that stand atop the sport really heal the blinds back and allow us to take a peek inside when speaking mental health and mental issues. I believe that all the biases or the opinions that we have of this certain fighter, whether you love Mark I hate him, have to take a back seat and we have to look at the human being. Because when Volk said he was in his own head, we all rushed to speak to him his strength and how much anyone was willing to help.

We need to make sure.

We need to make sure.

That we do the same thing for Sean Strickland. He said, all week, I've been fucked up. I've been on the Twitter saying crazy stuff, just fucking spiraling. I woke up and I told my girl. I was like, Babe, I feel like a danger to people. I don't feel like I should be out in the world, and I think that you know, I have everything. I'm rich, I'm famous, like I have everything I've ever fucking wanted, and I'm still mentally unwell. I've shared some shit with you, and you guys have shared some shit with me. I feel more connected with my fans than I think most people feel, just because we've gone through a lot together. And man, I have everything I want, dude, and I still struggle with mental health. That tells you.

You know, a lot of.

You know, a lot of.

People think that money and all this other stuff eliminates all the problems. Sean Strickland, that's a please for help. So we as the Mixed Martial ars community should rush you aside again, just like we did for Alexander Volkanowski, because not only is this man actually telling us he needs help, he's even more forward than volk was. That to me tells me that this is that guy that had all those issues growing up and they're starting to resurface. Because the fighting and everything can serve to suppress a lot of things.

The money can't, fame can.

The money can't, fame can.

But when all those things that have served to push everything to the back start not being enough again, you really have to worry.

He says wild things all the time.

But when that wild thing comes after so many things that make sense right in front of it, you gotta really take note of it and pay attention. I don't know Sean as well as most. I speak to Jean every time I'm around him. I feel we get along.

Well. What I'm gonna do.

Well. What I'm gonna do.

Is reach out to Eric Knitzick to see if I can get in touch with Sean shri or at least try to see if that dude just needs someone to speak to, same thing I did for other people whenever they were going through stuff, because I believe that as people that consume this, we have to show that same support we show the guy that we are loving universally in Alexander Volkonowski, because this man right here is crying out for help, telling us, Hey, I'm struggling, guys, I'm struggling, And sometimes it's something at something that you don't anticipate being the thing that throws you into that spiral. It could be losing that championship belt. I remember when he first won the belt. It was almost like he didn't.

Really care until you get it.

Really care until you get it.

And it's like that little weird dude on Lord of the Rings with the hair stringy hair talking about his precious because he was holding it. He wanted his precious. It was all he wanted in life. When you lose that gold belt, while it may not seem like the most important thing in the moment, when it's gone, you're like, man, I miss it. It's like meeting a woman you fall in love with and then she leaves you. But you also know when you meet her you can't keep her forever. He's no one's champion forever. But when it does go, you feel lost without it and it takes some time to adjust to. And right now I think that may be playing into why Sean seems to be struggling so much right now. But again, he was very thoughtful in so many those states. Granted it was behind a whole bunch of cuss words and everything. But this man's reaching out for help. We should support him as a mixed martial arts community to try to uplift this dude because we will enjoys entertainment going forward.

But we also got to care about the person, the.

But we also got to care about the person, the.

Human being a little bit and make sure that they're doing okay when it comes to mental health. You know, before I go, a person that Sean strictly had in the crosshairs befo or was Layla Gary. She put out a video this week kind of explaining all the lies that were told about her and her family. I believe that it was long overdue for this video to be made.

When some of these things that were said about Ian and his wife for so long don't get addressed, they continue to grow.

So while she was saying that all.

So while she was saying that all.

These things were growing and growing and spreading like wildfire, that's what happens when you don't address him. So it was time for someone to address him. Ian did it, but he did it in a way where he didn't just directly say all those things. Even in the interview with him and I he spoke about it, but he spoke more about the anger of people attacking his wife and him not being able to protect her in those ways that he is so well good at.

Doing right beating people up.

Doing right beating people up.

He can't beat the average man up for talking shit about his wife. Can't do it. She clears it all up, says her part. We have to believe her because it's their life. We can't form opinions and make them true if they are not true. She and Ian and whoever her ex husband is, and her mother and her father and everybody else, they're the only ones that know. We have to take what she said as fact because it's their life. But here's the key, and this is my bit of advice. It's over now. It's over now. Every time you speak, you open yourself up to being a part of the story. So Dustin Poitier's wife doesn't speak much right, So when people attack her publicly, it just doesn't make much sense to me. I'm like, why are they attacking joe Lee when Joe Lee really does.

Stay out of the business. She knows that her managed to do that.

Stay out of the business. She knows that her managed to do that.

Fights and if you want to talk shit, Dustin't gonna handle that. That's how it works. I can envision a dude talking to her. She just kind of point to Dustin, like get him. That's just the way it works. And I can imagine with Ian if Lailah said go get.

Him, same thing would happen.

But when you make your statement, especially on something like this, you become a part of the story. But you do have a right to say your part. But now that you're part saying, now it's time to kind of fall back a little bit because then you told your truth. They have to respect it. They have to leave leave you alone, Leave you alone. Now Ian can get back to doing what he is so good at.

He will.

He will.

You will still, hey, Layla will still get attacked by guys like Kobe Covington, because that's it, right it slow hanging fruit. They're gonna attack her in that way. But there will be no more new attacks. It will only be from the old stuff because now your truth has been spoken. And I'm happy for it. I'm happy that she finally addressed it, or Ian finally addressed it. Whoever made the determination to do it did it. Now it's out there, it's done. The truth has been spoken. Those were lies. Now we go forward and Ian once again becomes the focus, and his fight career becomes the focus, and if you really just focus on Ian Garret's fight career, you could never boo him. You could never boo what this young man has done to this point in his career.

You can't.

You can't.

He's a twenty five year old six foot three Walter Waite who has tremendous skills across the board and looks to be a guy that could tend for a future championship. How do you boo that?

You need to judge him solely on his fight career, and when you do that, people will fall in love with you and Gary again. So I'm happy that the truth been spoken. I'm happy that the attacks that she should incur going forward will only be old attacks.

And since you put a nail in it, a lid on.
