0:00 Before the UFC at the White House, I was at the biggest UFC fight of all time. This is the Conor McGregor versus Khabib >> fiasco. >> Crazy. >> And just to paint the picture of how crazy and out of hand it is, cuz we've seen like postfight brawls, right, where people homies jump over the fence. We've seen that and we've seen people break it up or whatever. We see it at Raph with the the recent uh wrestling federation, but with Khabib and Connor, they shut down the entire T-Mobile arena like lights off. Like everybody in this arena, get the ████ out. It was crazy. So, it started off with um you know, like Connor is a big personality, right? Khabib is his a big personality his own right, but like more stoic Muslim. And so you have these two big under uh

0:52 underdog cultures coming into play during this whole fight buildup. So people that are even 1% Irish in America is like, "Yay, Ireland." And then all Muslims, all Russians, you have two another like two big demos coming together leading up to the fight. Um Connor saw Khabib like pulling up in one of the fighter buses. He throws a chair, breaks the glass, and it becomes like this like they both camps have this thing of like on site we don't give a ████ about money anymore. We're going to ████ kill each other, right? Could you can you confirm? That was kind of like the tension that was in the air to the point where even the girls that are fighters in the bus, they're like, "Oh my god, like I was actually fearing for my life. Like I'm actually just a fighter. I don't want to be caught in the crossfire of any of this stuff. just

1:44 get me to my weigh-ins on time and I don't want like either side to come smoke me or I get jumped or I'm a failure. >> Conor got arrested for that. >> Yeah, he got arrested for that. >> He threw the dolly through the bus. >> Yeah, >> he got arrested for that. He had he had to like pay a lot of money for that. So, it was like a big deal. >> Yeah. So, it's one of those things where like when they show up to the weigh-ins, too, it's like one camp has to come, the other one is completely not allowed to come in. They completely evacuate the other team, then they come. I show up I think the day before the fight during the weigh-in days, but as you walk around even the outside of the T-Mobile arena, it's beefed up in security. I see like the most universal soldier looking cops I've ever seen in my life. ████ 65 ████ like everyone looks like Goldberg and the Rock where the traps are popping up and I'm like, "Oh ████ they're anticipating some s███." So, we go in, packed house, of course, and everyone is either wearing the Khabib

2:36 hat, the white hat, or they're dressed in like some purple vest with a green tie, thinking they're like Conor McGregor. Everyone is one or the other. You can clearly tell I'm the only ████ one where I'm a big fan of both. So, I had the Kabib hat on and I had a Conor shirt. Wait, you could buy the Kab you have as merch? So, uh, outside of T-Mobile, there's a bunch of those full beard, no mustache guys selling the hats. >> Sick. like those Russian hats. >> Russian hats. So I was like, "Hell yeah, I want to buy one." So I buy one and then I'm wearing the the Connor T and thinking in my mind, "Oh, this is just a fight." All of this this is just press, man. This is good press. I'm like, let's build a baby. >> I know you guys [laughter] this is this all entertainment. That's what I was thinking, right? So I go in there and I'm like, "Go both. Go both. Go both. I just want to see a good fight." But half the stadium is Muslims

3:28 or Russians. The other half are all Irish ████ Once uh the fight ends, uh I believe was it Kabib's homie that jumped in first? >> I forgot who. >> Kabib threw his mouthpiece at Dylan Danis. >> Oh, cuz uh Dylan Danis, who's another uh fight personality and uh Connor's jiu-jitsu coach, he was talking ████ to Kabib like the whole time from outside of the cage. So Khabib jumps out, throws a mouthpiece. They start brawling. People jump into the cage. They start brawling. Big ass ████ brawl like inside outside of the cage. And then what's crazy because the whole all the stands are all Khabib or Connor people. Everyone starts brawling in the stands too. So you look over here, two people just ████ scrapping. Over there,

4:18 people just start scrapping. Usually after every UFC, Dana White comes out and it's like, "Hey, thank you guys." Yeah. Yeah. Go. Go ahead. Watch the last part. >> This is the mouthpiece part real quick. Chucks at Dylan. >> He pops the fence and tries to like jump kick this dude. >> This is after Kobe whoops Connor's ass. >> Saying some ████ >> Yeah, he's talking to him the whole time. So Connor's ████ up. >> He jumps over, starts just jumping, beating his ass, and then people jump in the cage after. There was not enough security to contain this at all. >> So you're saying that this rippled through out the whole stadium? >> This was already Yeah, this was >> So they're fighting in the cage. Conor's fighting his teammates. >> Yeah. Someone came in and shot Connor in the back of the head inside the cage. Like there right there right there. Right there. >> What? I'm in the stands up there watching this and as this is going down,

5:08 people slowly start fighting in the stands too with each other just to start scrapping. >> What? >> It was insane, dude. And usually Dana White comes out at the end, thanks everyone for watching the UFC, whatever. He kind of like closes the event. This event, uh, that didn't happen. They just shut the lights off and told everyone to leave. And then so Gio sees me with my Khabib hat and my Connor thing. She was like, "You ████ idiot going to get jumped by both sides." Oh [laughter] ████ So I take the hat off. I take my shirt off as we slowly make it out to the uh the hallway, you know, where they sell like hot dogs. And so >> So now you're just a shirtless Asian guy? Then I had another shirt on cuz I bought the Conor shirt there. Um, everyone was scrapping in the hallways and people were spilling beers like it's all slippery everywhere. And uh, we rushed from T-Mobile all the way into uh, Caesar's Palace cuz it's connected.

5:59 And when I got there, my legs were like this. Like I got in a fight and I just escaped some ████ cuz when you feel that mob energy, >> it's scary, dude. >> Yeah. Like 40,000. I'm like this is that energy where people get trampled and die and they don't care. Everyone's just a number now. No one's a human being anymore. It was like that type of energy. It was ████ crazy. Was Tao with you? >> No, he was uh he was at home. Yeah. Baby was with with grandma or >> Yeah. This fight was like seven, eight years ago. >> Yeah. I mean that's iconic when he hopped over and started fighting and then like I think Connor was like overheard saying like it's just business, bro. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was when he was like, "Oh, talk now. Talk now." And Connor's like, "It's just business. It's just like talk now." Cuz to Khabib, uh, he it was serious. >> I think he insulted his mother or some ████ like >> like his religion or something. >> It was all the above. >> You don't call my mother a goat.

6:51 >> Yeah, he probably called all the Kabibs. >> But out of all the fights to be able to go to like that is probably >> Yeah, that is a crazy fight to be >> That's like our era of Tyson and Holyfield. >> Yeah. Yeah. And then to see everyone else scrap around you was crazy. I'm like, "Dude, why are why are you guys taking this as personal? This is ████ crazy." But I think they just go, "Oh, Muslim guy. Oh, Irish guy." >> And everyone's drinking, too. >> Yeah. They fight. I fight. ████ it. And they just start fighting everywhere. >> So, where were you guys in that in the stand? Like, how close were you guys? >> It was like, you know, that that LED screen that goes around right above that. >> Wow. >> And it was still already expensive. I think at that it was already 700 bucks a seat. So, I can't imagine how much it was cuz it's like one of the biggest fights of of that time. Yeah.

7:41 >> To even get a ticket is crazy. >> Yeah. >> Like sold out within like an hour. >> Imagine if you had floor seating with all the celebrities and you're just waiting and people are just brawling around you. >> Yeah. >> I like it when you see it from like these like less polished clips. >> Yeah. >> This just personal. >> Yeah. Just something. >> And Kabib held the choke, too. >> He held that ████ >> Yeah. >> He goes, "You want to talk your ████ now?" It's funny hearing Khabib talk about it cuz when he in in interviews he goes he goes after the fight like I felt like my heart still was hateful. He was like I still didn't get it out of my heart >> because he didn't get a chance to finish. >> Yeah. He was like I felt his ass. >> He said he said when Connor said his only business he felt like robbed. >> He he realized that it wasn't real >> and it was all fake and it made him pissed. [laughter] >> He was like I want you to ████ pay. You know like that was that was

8:32 literally his mindset. felt he didn't feel justice. >> Yeah, he felt like >> what was his beef with Dylan Dennis right here? >> Just >> just cuz he's he's he's a Dylan Danis. Anytime he competes, he gets jumped. >> He just This guy just competed against you know the guy Hamzot >> like last week two weeks ago >> he competed against Hamzot in a wrestling match. Hamzot's team jumped him again, >> you know? >> Well, cuz he's just talking ████ He's just he's a rascal. >> Yeah, he he talks ████ He's dirty. So I think in the Kamzot one, so they had a choke, it's a wrestling competition. There's no subs. You're just trying to pin each other. And he is trying to sub him in a wrestling competition. So after Kamzot won, he like leg kicked him. I'm like, "What the ████ was that?" And then I think all the Kamzot's home, he's like, "Yo, you literally try to sub." Like that's not even the rule. So everyone just jumps him. He gets jumped every fight whether he's in the fight or not. >> Well, cuz he's a dirty fighter.

9:22 >> He's just anno he's an agitator. >> Gator agitator. >> Yeah. You could probably look up uh UFC 229. like even hallway fights or hallway brawls. It was it was nuts. Every corner you went, every floor I went, there's people throwing down >> and every UFC, especially at an arena, people are going to fight immediately no matter what. So, you add all this like ambiance of just hostility with each other. >> Do you see any like every >> But after this, uh, he got banned from the UFC, right? >> Who? >> No, he just had to pay a fine. He paid 500k. >> Wasn't like he wasn't like he fight for like a year or something? Yeah, but you know it was just >> Oh, you had one of those white hats on board and then a Connor shirt. Yeah, it was like this every every This is insane. >> Every aisle, every hallway people just scrap. You see how that guy's wear like a dress shirt like all

10:12 these Irish wannabe ████ and then all these other like Khabib wannabe ████ >> When we saw Islam Makachev fight um >> all the way outside too. >> When we saw him fight in LA >> and you see all the Russian cats in there, they all have cauliflower ear. Yeah, they look scary. >> They all look like Olympic level like wrestlers. They're all scary as hell. >> And those are the fans that go support Khabib and them, you know? >> So, it's like, "Oh ████ these guys are killers." >> I'll never Yeah. I'll never forget that night cuz I was like, >> "I can't believe you were there." ████ I was like, "Oh my god, I almost died." [laughter] >> Cuz when it's like a mob and they take this new energy, >> it's chaos cuz you don't know. You might just get sucked out of nowhere. You don't know where it's going to go. >> Dude, I had like the exact opposite greatest sporting experience.

11:02 >> Where was it? >> At Kobe's memorial. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> When he passed. >> Oh, you went to that? >> Yeah. So, I got like I was able to win the raffle tickets for the memorial. So, I gave my my other ticket to to Mike. So, we went to that and like this this is like watching like Beyonce perform Halo. This is like Shaq up there giving a speech and this is when he was a [snorts] >> starstudded event. >> Yeah. This is what he's talking about. >> Wasn't it Jordan there, too? >> Yeah, Jordan was there. Jordan was crying. That's the crying meme. >> That's right. >> Shaq was like, "Yeah, you know, Kobe's like, you know, I was like, there's no eye in team." He's like, "But there is me in that motherfucker." Like, and it was just like everybody's like crying and laughing. All these ████ cholo Mexican thug life looking dudes all just ████ crying together. All of us. >> Mexican dudes in LA love. >> He meant so much to us. That's crazy.

11:52 >> Just like thug life looking fools. Did any of you guys Did any of you guys do the lottery for Olympics 2028? >> No. >> No, but I'm going to see the wrestling final. We're going to go. One of our buddies got tickets. >> Can Can you sneak one? >> I don't know, dude. We'll see. >> Sneak tomorrow. >> I don't know. We'll see. We'll see. >> Cuz we we did that to get the cuz you know it's a lottery system and then the sports that you were allowed to see are ████ whack. It was like 400 ████ meters swim some ████ >> You don't want to see a 400 meter? >> No. I want to see I want to see judo or wrestling or the regular swimming where it's fast and short or running fast and short. It was like some ████ >> no mid distance ████ huh? >> Yeah. I don't want to see ████ relay like ████ Judo's still exciting. >> I just I want to see basketball. That's it, bro. >> Oh, I got I got I can see like three on three, whatever. I didn't even know that was in the Olympics, but there that's whack.
