Hey Islam, huh, thank you for checking in with me.
Man, I appreciate it, even though I tried to keep us apart. Can you believe this?
Yes? Yes, I told the old star after huh slatter conra, I told the ulster.
You tell me you old story. He's yeah, because you know it.
It is it. You know many minute I sent him the fixture. You see this many minute? People love Islam?
Yeah, because I have more viewers.
Its me did everybody if he is? This is crazy? We like the perfect partnership. This is the way the interview needs to go like this. Not you though, you need to stay off the interview, what sub Champ?
How you feeling good?
I've been trying to this fight with Dustin Poorier. I think this is a very important fight for you because of his his standing in mixed martial arts in terms. I feel like, in order to build a star, you have to go through the stars of the past.
Do you understand what that means? Do you feel like Dustin Poitier plays that part?
Yeah, Dustin one of the biggest name in Mike car I know this, maybe uh olivera Dustin. I think it's a high level name in these sports because these guy have crazy experience, beat Lara, tough guys fight for the belt many times. That's why I'm very excited.
You know when you fought Alexander Volkanowski the last time you knocked him out. You're sitting there waiting and you're watching all these guys fight essentially a tournament to see who.
Gets you next. It's justin Gaegee.
If he gets through Max, he wins, he'll get you Armand's Rukian, Dustin Pourie and Ben was san DENI did you expect Dustin Pier to be the guy that came out of all of this?
Uh, honestly, like fifty to fifty. I expect like Dustin is gonna be next. But I feel someone after UFCI three hundred took decience because if olivera bait Armand, I think he will say yes, but Armand say no. And I understand when Armand beat him he will say no.
And why why did you think Arman will say no?
Because I don't know what this guy need to the fight with me. He always talk about this fight, always wanted very much, but when he have schense, he always say no. It's not first time.
It's not the first time he said no.
It's a first stand.
He wants a full training camp.
I don't know what he wants, but I don't give him some small sens. First time I bait him all three rounds.
Not on every scorecard. One round was twenty nine twenty eight.
I beat them all rounds in your opinion, in judge opinion.
One judge gave him twenty nine twenty eight is long?
Rather watch again?
What did what did? What did the judge say?
I don't know what the judge say, but I beat him a none of his decision.
You did want unanimous decision.
I had an argument the other day and people speak about resumes and they say, how your resume doesn't match up to Dustin Pourriers.
Do you hear that?
And does that annoy you? When people try to say, well, Islim's read he has not been through all the best in the division to become the.
Champion, but it's not makes sense. I beat I beat the guy who beat him too. You know that's why I agree with this. You have more, more big name on his list, but it's it's mean nothing.
They wouldn't fight you though.
I keep telling people, I'm like when he was trying to make his way to a championship.
It was hard to get the fights right.
Brother, how many times you remember somebody call my name when I'm not champion? I don't remember some guys who on top call my name. I want to fight with Islam all my life. I have the problem. But finally I finished this. Now that people want.
Belt, yeah, and they gotta go to you, but I don't give it. You know what's kind of weird right now? As I sit and I talk to.
You, you like you're kind of like a You're like a big time star.
Now you different guy? You you you? But but no, you know I don't feel it. I can live in your behaviors because of me trying to get you to sit down and do this interview the way Ali told me. I believe, Ali. I think I believe because I'm looking at you right now.
Last month, how many times I spoke with you?
Just one time?
One second?
Because I give you?
What do you give me?
I give you?
Called me last year, come to my podcast, Come to my podcast, and I come and.
Yeah right, And it was Ali. It was Ali right, because you always do so d'st be for you?
What is?
Where can he present problems for you? Be honest?
Dustn't brother?
Where can he present problems?
Probably brother? If I stay in his distance, if I play his game. He's a very dangerous guy and people know this. I know this. He have very very good boxings. Somebody say Max Hollow I have best boxings in his game, but Dusting beat him, and I believe he have best boxing.
He's got a good right hand too, right hoog.
Right hug, right hand and like boxing's very good. But UFC is not boxing UC. It's MMA, man. That's why I am my best MMA fight that I have boxing, wrestling and grippling.
You know.
Everything I watched in the build up, dustn't said he's gonna knock you out in this fight. I've also seen dustin training with Mattails Gamrock, who's a phenomenal wrestler himself.
It seems like he's doing.
All the things that he needs to do in order to give himself an opportunity to be successful against you. Also, taking from the fight with how be you? How much do you think he could take from that fight and apply it to the fight with you?
Man, it's nothing. It's not something you can learn from the couple months or around the year wrestling you can. You have to wrestle all your life, from beginning, from your kids. You know, It's not like you can learn from one year, two year, three years. I know he doesn't believe he can beat me. He doesn't believe he can give I can give him some chance, you know. That's why I will step inside the cage, pressure him, make him tired, and finish him.
You don't think that he you don't think that he believes he can in this fight? Why?
Because you know he's prime time, he's finished, and I'm a worse opponent for him right now.
Can you look at any of Dustin's past opponents and look outside of KOBEEB and go. I know I can do the same thing to him and put him to a point where I think I can break him.
What all like high level resting I did with him. I can't do this much? Is do you believe me?
I don't know, man, I'm calling the fight.
How are you doing?
No?
I think you don't know. Oh, I am not taking down Dustin.
Let's see Ramero Cotton's video again. We're gonna do this again. We'll go to Romero Cotton's video again.
And brother, you always bring your camera guy, and where I take it out, you'll cut it. This is true.
That's not true. That's not true. True. Romero Cotton raised the hand with Reo go to the center.
Who man, it's your guy, brother, it's your guy.
We were all teammates. There's your decisions. Bullsh decision, Bro, there's a bullshr decision.
Islam the uh. Your goal is to be the best pump fum fight in the world. What you are right now? Is there a certain way you need to win this fight this weekend over Dustin Pourier.
Yeah, that's right. I have to make this fight, is it? And show my level to the All Awards.
Who's the toughest match up for you in this division?
Because I'm watching right now you telling me that the number one contended right now, Dustin Pourier, you need to beat impressively. Who do you think at one fifty five can present problems for you? Armand I mean Armand It's it's universally thought that Armand gave you the toughest fight in your career.
Brother, I don't see someone who can't give him a tough fight. I have other goal as a target. I want to jump other division. Maybe they have some big guy, but I know I can be a double.
Tramp the champions like you. The champion that on seven years.
I can be was the champion Edwards.
Remember before you can remember his name?
No, I know his name from the first day in the US. I'm yeah, I know him.
He gave you many problems that day. I remember his trading session. We'll give you Lee was giving you many problems.
But this is my first fighting.
He gave you many problems.
I watched now people understand your why you so.
You guys didn't train together, but did.
My first fighting in US visit lyon Okay, Okay, I stepped the case. Coach House, I don't understand. I don't speak English. He said, have you this guy very good striker? And I was thinking, wow, I cannot lose first fiing in the US, in the cage, in the cage, this is my first fighting in decade. And when time is beginning, I go to double Lake, take him down. But that time he's not good wrestlers. Yes, he come to learn, but he's not. But right now maybe he's good or wrestling. He can defense, but that time is it's like a big point wrestling, and I take him down, hold him.
Yeah.
Another storyline in this fight is Dustin's guillotine. That's become like a it's taken on a life of its own life something.
You make this joke, brother, he have good guilliatine. You make this joke.
I didn't make it a joke.
You make it a joke because you start to smirk when you say it, because it's almost feel like you don't think he can ever catch you in a guillotine.
Brother, I don't remember when Dustin catch somebody.
He hasn't got one yet. He jumped, he's jump a guillotine, but he hasn't got a guillotine yet.
I hope one day, but it's not gonna be me.
You know what's you know what's kind of crazy?
You know what's kind of crazy about you? You like these?
You like this?
Orange?
No, no, no orange?
What I like?
Go b.
Yeah? You know what? Uh?
You remember last time you and I we sat down with alex ad the Volkanowski and you laughed at his wrestling. And then when you guys had that fight the first time, he took it out. You don't think that maybe sometimes you should like not make fun of people.
When he tacked me, he took.
You on in the fifth round, didn't he take it on in the fifth road?
He lent good bunch, but not take it down. He tried to take me down a lot of times. But no, it's not working. Brother. You know my wrestling.
You do have a good wrestling.
I defend you like heavyweight guy house, like small guy take me down.
I watched Chase take you on, Chase the last time. Last time, when you try to run out.
The wrestler, people make mameswitch Chase.
Please forget you started doing this. Like everywhere people try to do the chase.
I teach you this the old guys, brother, this is the greatest I can come here the class and give some mustard class you know in that move, yes, not just moved like a lot of things I have.
