Plus, don't miss Islam's hot take on the BMF title and why he thinks Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz were chosen for it in the first place! #Herd #Volume

The biggest pay per view for you. And the first time Ryan Clark said that, I thought he was out of his mind. He was like, I think he should fight Dustin Poorier And I was like, well, Dustin Pooria hasn't won enough to get a championship fight. And I start to think, if they're gonna if you're gonna get elevated into that next stratosphere, you gotta beat the guys with the names. Dustin Pourier fighting Justin gage for the BMF title.

So what man?

Who is wrong with you? Bro? What is wrong with you?

That's the one question.

If that's Temple, okay, that's Gagey and he gonna fight next for the title lightweight title. He gonna come with his BIMEEF title. He gonna come to with his title.

No, the title fight would be for your championship, not his championship.

Yes, I like you because I don't want this.

Shoot how I can translate.

What should be? How can you translate?

M best?

No, No, no, baddest mother fucker is.

The name of this You want to be, this out built, you want to be, but this built for the bumps?

You know? First time who fight for this belt?

D S and Mazdon and the people who.

Who never can be champion.

You know, they give him some belt guys, be happy fight for, but what it is I don't know.

Then I want then I stop this? After this stop.

What is wrong with you? Man? What is wrong with you?

And I don't know.

I don't know when they when this guy, they haven't they fight for the real build many times and they always lose, you know, and now they're like, like, good guy, give him other belt. Guys, you have to be be f champion. Honestly, somebody give me this bill tomorrow. I don't want this ship.

Really you would say no to the bell.

Of course, brother, word this beat this, But I don't say this. Keep you away from from me. So if you do get so, you're telling me you never say this fight is gonna be worst. This lightweight champion and champion never say this, Okay, I.

Would say it. I would actually say it, like when I'm talking about your fight. I would say it, but I don't you want me to tell you how I would say it. Let me tell you how it's it. I would say. In Abu Dhabi, you have the lightweight champion of the world, Islama Hotchev taking on the BMF champion, Justin Gatcher Dustin Pourier in Abu Dhabi for the lightweight Championship of the World. Guys, what makes this an interesting fighters that you have a guy in Islama Hochev that has looked almost unbeatable, but then you got the BMF champion. He has proven time and time again that he is as tough and durable as anyone else, and that's proven to be one of the baddest men walk in the planet.

You don't believe, miss Binio, please tomorrow beat Olivera and come.

But you don't think. But do you not believe?

Do you?

How can you not feel champ that one of those guys in their name recognition and all of their accomplishments right, both interim champions before, both of them always very exciting, both of those guys being as good as they are with the name value rights for kind of a record three times Justin ga has been in that what happened? They've been in there with some of the biggest names in the sport. You don't think that that the name recognition that they are.

I can't beat them, I can't fight with or Gaichi. But I don't need this b F ship brother, and that's it. I can beat this guy easy.

I can't fight this.

I think better fight for me with gech Or because you know for the fans, the people are gonna watch this fight.

Yeah, more pay per views, right, more pay per views, more people watch it.

Yeah, but without this belt.

Please, you don't make those you don't. You don't make the rules, bro, you don't make the rules.

I can't say. Then mh. They will tell this guy keep this belt in the home and come to the fight.

Who do you think wins that fight between those two? Because the last fight when Justin you think beats.

But look good? What gage you have for Poier? Nothing? Porier have good boxing better than Geige And that's it. I thought he's gonna he's gonna be boxing much you think it'll be a boxing match.

But I thought that. I thought that Justin Gaigie in the fight against the Zi looked better and he looked like he was working on different things to make himself a more effective fighter over long fights. I thought he looked better. And then against Michael Chandler, I thought Dustin Pourier looked improved.

Right, But yeah, I say this much, he looked good. In this much, but potier. I think it's different level.

They both got.

Physive and gender this This guy is good, you know, but he's not top level. He's good, he can be top five, but top three he never.

You don't think physic is one of the better ones at one fifty. I think he's good man.

Good striker, but nobody check is wrestling.

You know, he's good, but I think he's gonna somebody have good wrestling they can finish. This guy comes from White I have good boxing, good kick, you know, but this is not striking right. If somebody taking.

I think have he gonna give him big trouble.

But I think he never give up? You know he gonna fight or.

Yeah, is good, dre yous. But you said that he doesn't bring the eyes like some of the other guys. See, that's the balance, right, that's the balance. That's what you don't that's where you haven't gotten it yet.

As a champ, I don't want to talk about these guys like Potier, Gaigio Olivea.

I just read it. I mean, I don't have opponent now, but I'm in training camp. I'm in mount time now.

I know why because you're probably like too big. You probably have to start now because you're so heavy.

That's probably what it is. That big same way eighty three eighty two.

Really islam you. We talked earlier about Pampa pound pound means that you're fighting style translates across weight divisions. Could you see yourself fighting at one seventy? And if so, how soon would you want to try try to become you know, double champion. You know you get a couple of belts, you know one on these show.

This is my dream and I'm sure I can't be double champ. You know I can beat I can beat one, but I forget.

That name Edwards? How you forget the champions name?

Bro? Brother, I can't do this guy.

I know you forget his name?

Eleven eleven pm. That's why I want to sleep. I have today too hard training session.

Okay, all right, I'll give you a pass. You think you match up well against me on Edwards though, because he showed very good takedown to brother.

Okay, you showed good defense. Brother. With me is gonna be different. I can strike in with him, I can reple with him, resting anywhere. I can beat this guy. I know. Just give me one chance and that.

Ship, my brother.

That's what I think.

People miss underestimate you a little bit, and maybe.

They're gonna after I won the second belt, maybe they're gonna put me best.

Yeah, they can't deny it then all right, man, last week before I let you go, last week before I let you go. First off, I've gotten Burroughs to agree to come with your ass in AKA. He'll come and wrestle you. He's gonna You're gonna be mad because you're gonna get embarrassed, you know who with me in the camp.

Whodo you know this?

Really?

I bring him to the camp, I rest him. He is him every day the barrows. I respect this guy. He's like five time worlds.

Seventh, seven, seven, seven. Don't don't even our six or seven. Don't be crazy, brother, Please, you don't know.

You don't know six.

I think I think it's six, or I think it's six or seven.

Seriously, okay, bring him to the a K close us to the cage, and rest much to the cage. Wrestling much, okay, wrestling rules everything just in the cage.

You do you even know how to wrestle a wrestling match? You know the rules? Like because when you and I wrestled, I turned you three times and you thought you won the match.

How the US seem feel when Russian rested big, come big all the dude.

Let me tell you this, The Russians are back and we literally had the biggest party in American history because we want to prove now that we're the best wrestling country in the world. Last year we had four world champions we had ten world medals. Like we are ready to we are ready for Russia to the back so that we can show.
