Takes

I will submit Derrick Lewis in the second or third round

I'm going to submit the guy. Second, third round... I usually like the submission because what leads to the submission is just domination, like just exhaustion.

Khabib Nurmagomedov's dad will punish him more severely than the UFC

His fucking dad is going to kick the shit out of him. And it's so funny that this guy is 30 years old, one of the best UFC fighters of all time, and he's got to go home to Dagestan and get worse sanctions from his father than he will from Dana White.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is going to 'work' Conor McGregor

I have a bad feeling that Khabib is going to work him. I'm just going to say I have a bad feeling, a bad premonition. Call it shakiness in my knees. I just feel something bad coming.

Conor McGregor will lose to Khabib Nurmagomedov

My Who's Back of the Week is Conor McGregor... maybe because he's going to lose. He is going against Khabib... who wrestled bears as a child.

I would win a one-on-one war for the United States against any other country's best fighter

Do you think that you would be the United States' best guy if we were to fight a one-on-one war against some other country? 100%. So you could win an entire war by yourself. Well, not a whole war. Like just one-on-one? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Against anyone in the world. 100%.

Conor McGregor's rampage at Barclays Center was a real incident, not a work

Smitty will beat Chef Sean Latham in their Rough and Rowdy fight.

Valentine's Day Massacre Smitty versus a $20 chef Sean Latham. Who you got in that fight? I think it's going to be Smitty. Got to ride with my headquarter guy.

I am going to kill Dylan 'Tex' Stone at Rough N' Rowdy

My hot seat is Dylan [Tex] Stone. He's the person I'm fighting on Friday, December 15th at the Rough and Rowdy. It might be just because I'm all hyped up on pre-workout right now, but I'm going to fucking kill him.

Jon Jones is the greatest MMA fighter of all time

I think [Jon Jones] is the greatest of all time. I think if he had done everything the way he should have, he'd be a huge superstar. He might even be the heavyweight champion of the world.

If Johnny Hendricks loses at UFC 217, he should retire

I think [Hendricks] would have to start looking at retirement. [if he loses].

Floyd Mayweather was in complete control for every second of the Conor McGregor fight

In terms of actually looking back and thinking about it, there was not one second that [Mayweather] wasn't in complete control. Like Connor threw some big punches, but Floyd knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. He's like, I'll play defense for a few rounds, and then he's going to get gassed, which he did, and he knocked him out.

Jon Jones' drug test failure for steroids is likely indefensible if he remains silent

If you have any sort of defense ... when guys pop ... especially for an anabolic steroid that allegedly is ingested orally ... you're screaming from the rooftops, telling everybody you're innocent. ... instead of trying to provide answers or some sort of statement, we're not hearing much from Jon Jones.

Conor McGregor has a legitimate puncher's chance in the first two rounds

I told Floyd these first two rounds are dangerous because [McGregor] is a grappler and he's used to close in fighting. And if he throws those bombs ... it's hard enough to knock anybody out. After that, once Floyd figures out the routine, then it should be a pretty simple fight.

Floyd Mayweather doesn't have one-shot knockout power, but will win via cumulative damage

Power, I don't think so. You know, but I think through damage. Creating damage, I think is a big factor.

Conor McGregor is going to get 'killed' in a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather

[McGregor]'s going to get kicked. He's going to get killed. ... [McGregor] put his dumb ass in a position where he's going to get knocked out because [Mayweather]'s been doing this all his life.

Conor McGregor is winning the press conferences but will lose the fight to Mayweather

If [McGregor] does go and get his ass kicked, which I think a lot of people probably lean that way... this is definitely a situation where he's winning the press conference and will most likely lose the fight.

Tito Ortiz will beat Chael Sonnen in their Bellator 170 fight

I'm going with Tito. Only because it's his last one, and I just know how he feels about his legacy, and he doesn't want to go out and lose it. So by any means, he's going to do whatever he can to win this fight... I'm taking Tito at the end.

Conor McGregor has zero chance of beating Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match

Floyd wants an easy $100 million check. ... Conor McGregor versus Floyd Mayweather, I think it's going to happen. ... [Conor has] 1,000% no chance at all. Floyd wouldn't last 30 seconds [in MMA]... Floyd will last a minute because he'd run for 30 seconds.

Steve Smith wouldn't even dare to get in a wrestling ring

Steve Smith wouldn't even get in the ring... But he wouldn't. We can put that challenge out right now to him.

Conor McGregor would be soundly defeated and unable to land a punch on Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match

I think Conor McGregor, if he had to box Floyd Mayweather in actual boxing rules, he would get beat so soundly, and he would not be able to touch Floyd Mayweather.

CM Punk's MMA debut looked like a big brother beating up a little brother

He got beat so badly... He got tackled and then was just kind of flailing on the ground while the guy just punched him in the face. It was all of like a big brother jumping on a little brother and then hitting the little brother with his own fists. That's what it looked like.

UFC 202 was the best main event fight in a long time

UFC 202, I want to mention it quickly because as a sports fan, that was one of the best main event fights I've watched in a long time. It was one of the most hyped ones probably since Mayweather Pacquiao, but it was so, so good.

UFC 202 will break the all-time pay-per-view record and hit 1.6-1.7 million buys

I had already said and gone on record as thinking that this is going to break the pay-per-view record because it has the biggest name in the sport, Conor McGregor... I think it's interesting with not a ton of star power to see if he can break the record and do 1.6, 1.7 million pay-per-view buys with Nate Diaz largely on their own.

Conor McGregor will win the rematch against Nate Diaz on points

I think Conor is going to fight a more disciplined fight. I think he might have to win on points. But again, I got to be on that side.

UFC 200 will still do over one million pay-per-view buys even without Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier

Dana, dude, he's like so immune to this that he doesn't really even get upset anymore. And thankfully, this fight card, even without Cormier and Jones, is as good a main card on pay-per-view as we've ever put together. So I still think you're north of a million pay-per-view buys.

Conor McGregor has no chance against Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match

Conor would have to step away from mixed martial arts and focus exclusively on boxing for like two years to have any sort of chance against Floyd Mayweather. I don't like Conor in that fight at all. ... I don't give Conor much of a chance.

Conor McGregor's retirement tweet was a brilliant marketing move to generate buzz

Excellent marketing move on his part... we were all talking about MMA, like in the offseason of MMA, pretty much. So, yeah. Excellent marketing move on his part.

50 Cent lied about winning the Golden Gloves

50 Cent is so much of a fan of boxing. First of all, he lied and said he was a fighter. 50, you said you won the Golden Gloves. You came in New York City, came up where I came up at. I won the Golden Gloves every time I fought in them. I know everybody around here. 50, you did not fight in the Golden Gloves.
