JRE MMA Show #54 with Din Thomas

four three two one dude i didn't even get a picture you gotta get a picture
would you go with
the blowtorch or the samurai sword in front of the flag what do you think um i
don't know what
does everybody else do they mix it up some some folks go blowtorch it's that elon
musk blowtorch
i'm going elon musk that's a good move yeah i like that you know why would i
want to be like
elon musk you know what i'm saying that's i don't want to be that smart why not
i think that's bad
for you no when i was talking to him and you know like one of there was a
moment where i said like
what's it like being you and he's like it's not easy like he was he was like
talking about like the
thoughts that are bouncing around in his head i think his head is like a like a
runaway train
like his brain's just constantly going well yeah i mean but but to be that
smart man you can come up
with anything you can make anything to make things work for you in life well
that is true i guess
i guess i don't know man i want a little peace and quiet i like being kind of
dumb do you really
because ignorance is bliss you can just kick back and relax sometimes you know
i don't sometimes i
just like to come home put the headphones on just lay back on the couch and
listen to music just just
listen to some music i don't want to think about having to fix the environment
yeah i mean i see that
too i mean i'm the same way don't get i'm an introvert so like don't get me
twisted are you
really yeah really yeah i would have never thought that really yeah yeah no i
just i could play the
role though you know i can play the role i mean that's all a part of like life
well i think you're
both because like you're really good at being friendly and like you're fun guy
like like you're
extra you have extrovert qualities well you need those to survive in life but
is that what it is
like you prefer to be introverted yeah i prefer to be introverted like i like i
love my alone quiet
time i just sit back and chill but you seem to love being out and being around
people too
the angle i love that too yeah you love that too yeah i don't know it's kind of
weird but it's good
that's a balance yeah that's a healthy thing well because you know in in order
to survive in life
you have to be out there right like because you ain't gonna make money sitting
at home listening
to music that's true so you got to get out there right and showcase yeah but
you enjoy it though
yeah well i mean i want to enjoy everything i do well you're really good on dana
white's looking
for a fight oh you think you're very good at that yeah i don't know if anybody
even watched
that i watch it do you really yeah you have fun on it you're fun on it yeah it
looks like it's a good
time yeah silly nah yeah well you know me and matt we we have a good time i
love dana too but like
you know me and matt really have a good time yeah matt's hilarious and him and
ray longo should have
their own reality show i know everybody was saying that from for a year like
matt and ray are like the
best duo ever when they're in the corner the absolute should be one camera that's
on them all the time
right i know what fight pass has that right they have the option to go to the
corners you can listen
to the corners do you yeah yeah fight don't don't think fight pass has some
pretty cool audio options
but like with ray longo and matt sarah that's a that's a plus oh i know i know
i love hanging
out with them like they're so fun they're so long island yeah i know so long i
mean the epitome of
long island i'm going up there i'm going to go up there next week and hang out
with them actually
yeah yeah i'm gonna find a fine time because i'm going up for brooklyn so i'm
gonna find time oh
that's right yeah that's right yeah um who do you have on that card greg hardy
oh interesting yeah
okay cool i i'm always nervous when i say that i know yeah because everybody
everybody's already
cast judgment on him for people don't know the story um explain the story like
he was an nfl player and then
he was a very high profile yeah high profile nfl player and something happened
with domestic violence
yeah he had um allegedly you know beaten up this girl and you know did some
horror horrific things to
her and right um but somehow he never was convicted of it and the case was
thrown out what do you does
he talk about it no no and that's the thing is that we don't talk about it
because i'm sure that's
something he wants to forget about in his life so i'm not going to be the one
to bring it up to him
right and i just know the experiences i've had with him have all been positive
yeah it's hard right
like you're not a girl you're not alone with them you don't know what happened
yeah that's what i'm
saying like i wasn't there so and i don't know how he is around you know with
his his girls yeah and
but i just know how he is with us and how he is with me it's hard right and it's
also hard because
you don't know what really happened yeah maybe something happened maybe nothing
happened maybe
a lot happened you know maybe it's exaggerated maybe it wasn't exaggerated at
all maybe lost his
mind yeah maybe it's just you know the other thing is this is something that
people don't like to
discuss but tbi man traumatic brain injury causes people to do terrible things
there's that's just a
fact that's just a fact yeah yeah no doubt even know why they're doing it and
they're they do wild
violent impulsive i mean we see it with fighters we see it with football
players i don't know what's
worse for you but i feel like football's worse oh man them guys head to head
all day long it's way
worse way worse even boxing is worse than mma i think football's worse too
because of the the kind
of impacts when dudes are running each other you get two full speed super
athletes you know 250 pound
men sprinting boom some of those collisions you watch me just your whole body
aches just looking at it
like but they have and they have to do that like that's what the whole thing is
is predicated on yeah
like mma like for me i'm always like listen if you get hit twice you need to
grab yeah yeah yeah yeah and
it's just a fist swinging right not a whole body just like you said 250 pounds
just yeah even like
the hardest kick i guess if you get like neck kicked if somebody roundhouse
kicks you in the neck i mean
that's probably as bad yeah that's a bad life yeah but like yeah or like wheel
kick like when edson
barboza wheel kicks people yeah yeah yeah when he did terry edam jesus christ
yeah yeah wheel kicks
because that's like full rotation of your body weight into that one kick on
your neck yeah that's pretty
bad dude his fight with dan hooker holy yeah yeah first of all holy is hooker
tough because that guy
tried to keep going but his body was just i would his organs must have just
been annihilated yeah because
barbosa don't play no he trained with us now too does he yeah he trained the
top team now oh that's
right he went to florida right yeah he came to florida why did he decide to
move to florida his
muay thai coach was in florida yeah well we because he was with mark henry
right yeah he was with mark
henry but his muay thai coach is the guy who brought him who taught him
everything from from a kid yeah
and i know we reached out to his muay thai coach to come down and work with our
team and you know because
i think he was in brazil or whatever so he came with our team and then edson
just followed him
wow yeah yeah that bond yeah well i'm telling you man he looks good i know i
mean he's an amazing
athlete he's so fast his switch kick is probably the fastest i've ever seen
yeah i don't think i've ever
seen anybody throw a switch kick that fast yeah i remember watching his switch
kick and i was like
it's like someone took a frame out of it yeah you know what i mean like a bruce
lee move
and not only that but he does like he's got a pretty high level of intelligence
in terms of
fighting like he makes that stuff work yeah you know i mean and i look at this
like because i've
worked with uh with mark decasi yeah physically i mean just god-given abilities
yeah but he just
doesn't have the intelligence to like make all that work he's screaming at the
tv right now you
a motherfucker i know i know and and i say i say that and i and i say that with
all due respect
because he's a young guy though isn't he a young guy who mark yeah yeah he's i
mean early to mid-20s
yeah maybe just trying to figure it out yeah and that's what it is he's trying
to figure it out and
it kind of pushed him a little fast so he didn't have a you know a lot of time
to make us have some
edson's had some ups and downs yeah you know the cowboy fight was a big down i
mean he's had
the khabib fight that was a big down oh yeah that was a terrifying fight that
was when you realize
how goddamn good khabib is oh i know yeah that was like that's the fight that
like put khabib on the
map really for everybody to say man who's gonna beat this guy yeah what he did
to him who's gonna beat
this guy yeah but that's what i've always said is that like if you had to pick
like one thing that
you're good at like what's the most important thing it seems to me to be
wrestling because the wrestlers
can just if you get like a real high level wrestler they just dictate what
happens they dictate where
the fight takes place i don't think there is i mean you have to know how to
strike you have to know
the other things as well but i feel like the if you have a pyramid of shit that's
important it feel
like at the bottom is wrestling and that motherfucker wrestles better than
anybody in that division yeah i
mean but see i disagree kind of okay and here's why um i don't necessarily
because when we talk about
wrestling i don't think it's necessarily the techniques of wrestling i think it's
just the
way they're brought up they're brought up different in dagestan not not only
dagestan they're definitely
brought up differently but like any wrestlers just brought up different oh
toughness a different
level of toughness a different level level of competitiveness so like when you
go to jiu-jitsu
school the first thing you learn how to do is bow to mat and kiss the
instructor's ass
that's it you know you bow to mat and you're learning self-defense and you're
learning respect and
wrestling it's not about that right it's about dominating it's about winning
and dominating
so they're they have years of experience of doing that like just that mindset
it's also about being
uncomfortable all the time yeah yeah and it's like yeah they're just the room
is always rough
it's always tough like you go to a jiu-jitsu school it's a bunch of dudes
smoking pot land back
they roll five minutes sit back smoke for 30 roll another five minutes yeah you
go to a wrestling
room it's hot sweaty they're all uncomfortable they're all grinding so you take
that guy and you
teach him some basic jiu-jitsu you got a champ yeah yeah that's just the
mindset for me physical
strength too yeah yeah they got physical strength the grip strength like that's
so important like for me
like grips is everything and in wrestling you learn a lot of that early so i
feel like um that's kind
of the difference they're just brought up different yeah i definitely think
there's something to that and
and then also being able to cut weight and still compete yeah i mean so i'm
always telling my
fighters now like when you have that wrestling experience especially if you
wrestled in college
like you go all your high school years you got 50 matches a year so you
competing 200 times before
you even graduate high school and then you go to college if you wrestle in
college you're competing
it's the best of the best in the best room and then you fight mma it's nothing
there's nothing to you
and now you and then you take a kid off the street who's never competed before
they're nervous they
don't perform well they're always at a disadvantage against somebody who wrestled
right because of the
experie
