Takes

I will finish Justin Gaethje within the first three rounds

We're not gonna see championship rounds... he's getting finished in the first three. I'd love to knock him out. You know what I mean? With a cartwheel kick or something... But I'm gonna finish him lad.

Jake Paul will get destroyed by Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul found a replacement fight... it's Anthony Joshua this time. Former heavyweight champion. He's gonna get fucked up. ... Anthony Joshua could still just starch him.

The UFC should implement a rule requiring submissions after prolonged ground control

I just think that if you take someone down for 25 minutes and wrestle them, you should have to submit them... If you wrestle someone for 25 minutes, you have to submit them. Or else it's impressively boring.

Getting into a fight overtrained is worse than going in undertrained

The biggest problem here is making sure that you are 100% on it when it comes to over training. 'cause getting in there overtrained is even worse than getting in there undertrained to be honest.

If you don't start riding by age 4, you likely won't turn pro today

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson is going to be Billy vs Canseco — a huge disappointment where the older fighter gets hurt early

I feel like these fights are always disappointing. And this one I still feel like it will be. But that quote got me fired up and I am hoping I go on social media and see [Tyson] knock him the fuck out. It's gonna be Billy versus Canseco.

I'm pumped up. 'cause I think everybody that is, most people that are paying attention to this would just like to see another Mike Tyson knockout. Yes. Just bring us back to the glory days. Yes. And he could be 90 years old and I would still believe that he'd be able to knock somebody out.

Garcia was awesome and he, he might be the new face of boxing 'cause he is, he's crazy. He's like the perfect amount of crazy fun to watch. Was throwing bombs... he's something else.

I'm fully in on Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul because Tyson can knock anyone out at any moment

I'm in on this fight. Mike Tyson, one of the most ferocious boxers of all time, could knock anyone out at any moment. And that's how you sell fights. I'm in no matter what and it's free.

Tyson Fury, they boxed Tyson Fury, Francis Ngannou this weekend... Francis Ngannou also has the, the perfect, he like champion fighters... Split decision. But a lot of people were saying that he won.

Oleksandr Usyk will beat Tyson Fury when they fight for the unified heavyweight title

I actually think Usyk could beat Fury. That's why I think Fury's been trying to duck him for the big belt, for the all the belts.

The betting odds for Molly McCann (+380) vs. Aaron Blanchfield are out of whack

I will though just say that the Molly McCann price to me seems out of whack. Aaron Blanchfield's a great grappler but minus 400 given what Molly has done of late, that surprises me.

I will transition from MMA to professional boxing after my UFC career

And I was just saying today on the bay when I move over to box and after I finish MMA... A hundred percent. Yeah. I've just always had it in me. I would always come back... if I ever have [achieved what I can in MMA], I'm ready for boxing.

Canelo picking me up during the fight was a sign of fatigue and nerves

I just thought, oh, he's a little bit nervous. And he wants to show me how he's strong, but it wasn't good for him because I see he's a little bit tired. And he lost his part. He waste his power on this moment.

Jake Paul will never be a world champion

Jake's a little bit different because he's at least boxing now. Right. He thinks he can be a world champion never in a million years, but there are actually some boxers that are worse than Jake Paul.

Tyson Fury is not actually retired

Tyson Fury beat Dillian Whyte the other day, he face timed me off a dozen times the next day asking for Anthony Joshua's number. So he ain't retiring for nothing. I mean, he just wants to make as much with Tyson Fury... I think he will always be there.

Combat sports are the purest form of sport because of the total vulnerability

It's the purest form of sport. There's no one to back you up. There are no time-outs. It's as real as it gets and you find out what you're really about. And I, and I love it. So I respect anyone that gets in there. So yeah, both boxing, MMA... there's nothing like that kind of energy when they get the guys come out of the tunnel and they're going to enter that ring.

One fight and one interview is all I need for everyone to know me

Kamaru Usman will go down as the GOAT if he stays on his current trajectory

Tommy Fury will knock Jake Paul clean out

I think it'll be a big buildup, a lot of talking, a lot of promotional stuff. But I think in the end, Tommy knocks him clean out.

AEW wins if they just focus on putting out a better product than WWE

The only thing we have to do is put out a better product and we win in my opinion. You know, we don't have a show that goes head to head on Mondays. We're not trying to quote unquote, put them out of business. My take on that is if we just focus on ourselves and we tighten up all our screws and we make our show better then we win.

Tommy Fury is a terrible boxer despite his looks

Tommy fury is the most attractive man in the world and a terrible boxer. That's that's my, I think he'd fuck Jake Paul up. I don't, I, I don't think so. He fought someone who was like eight inches smaller than him. And he wasn't able to knock [him out].

Bobby Laing will knock out Pacman Jones

I'll tell you right now? I think you're going to get knocked out... I bet you a thousand dollars. All right. All right. So he'll win. I'm saying Bobby Laing will [win].

Freestyle wrestling is harder than Greco-Roman wrestling

I'm going to say freestyle in a sense is a lot harder than Greco, because you just, you could take shots in the legs. You can get cheap points off of easy shots and stuff.

Celebrity boxing exhibitions are fine as cash grabs, but it's a problem when the public believes they are watching real fights

I'm all for anybody—boxing is unbridled capitalism, right?... I'm fine with the cash grab... exhibitions are never going away. The problem is, is when the public actually believes they're watching a fight. Floyd Mayweather going to sit in there and telling you... 'I'm just going to go in and just do this and carry the guy and dance around.' But when the public actually thinks they're watching a fight and are talking about it as if it's a fight... that's where I don't go for it.

The Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul fight is the start of the 'participation trophy era'

The fight ended. No one won. For the first time, I'm going to say the participation trophy era is real. I think that's my takeaway from this. Like, what did we just watch?

Jake Paul would get his ass kicked and wouldn't even be able to land a punch on Canelo Alvarez

It's so funny watching [Canelo] move and the fact that there are real people out there who are like, Jake Paul's a legit boxer. Like, no, no, no. They're completely different athletes... He would never touch him. That's the part. It's not even that Canelo would hurt Jake Paul. Jake Paul wouldn't be able to punch Canelo Alvarez.

I am going to make people know who Jeremy Smith is for once by fighting him.

I'm going to box. I'm going to fight. I'm going to make people know who the fuck Jeremy Smith is for once. ... and I'm going to make some money.

Ben Askren didn't care about the Jake Paul fight and just took a paycheck

Honestly, when I saw him and he was so fat, he had the love handles for the weigh-in, I was like, that guy's not in fighting shape... I think he thought the whole thing was a sham the second he walked into the ring... So Ben Askren just went in there and was like, this is a joke. I'm going to treat it like a joke and just took his paycheck.

Billy Football can beat Jose Canseco by moving around and avoiding toe-to-toe fighting

I know how you can beat them. You have to move around. You cannot fight with him. Toe to toes because you might get killed. But you move around, you're going to have a better chance... He's just a handmaker, you know. I don't think he knows how to fight, but he don't know how to survive.

Conor McGregor is done being a consistent threat for the UFC belt

I asked the question, is he done in terms of like – is he done being a threat for the belt consistently? It feels like that. I don't know it well enough, but it feels like that just by the fact that he's fought like three times in the last four years and one of them was an old dude who he beat and he's lost twice.

The Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. exhibition fight is going to suck

The Tyson fight, I can tell you right now, I'm going to spoil it for you. It's gonna suck and we're all going to pay way too much money to watch two old dudes go around the ring and throw jabs at each other.

I'm pre-mad about how much the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. fight is going to suck

Mike Tyson is back. He's going to fight Roy Jones Jr. in September... I'm going to buy this fight... and it's going to suck. It's going to be sadder than the Kimbo Slice Dada 5000 fight. This is going to without a question suck and I'm going to get so excited for it.

Kamaru Usman's foot-stomping strategy should be illegal in UFC

Who's Mondo foot-stomping. I mean that's just—that should be legal. It should be any it's more like just a pride thing dude, like beat someone without stopping their toes... It sucks.

Mike Tyson would easily beat LeBron James in a boxing match

If it's in his prime, that's the dumbest argument of all time. Mike Tyson would fucking crush LeBron James. I don't care how tall LeBron is. Hand speed, everything. LeBron can't get hit. He would flop out of the ring.

Conor McGregor's retirement is not real

UFC has ruined my brain for watching boxing

I have a take that UFC has kind of ruined my brain when it comes to boxing... I watched that fight and I was like why the fuck isn't he submitting him? Like, why isn't he taking him to the ground? Why isn't he kneeing him in the face? It's just there's a level of violence in the UFC that you expect when you see a fight and you're like I was sitting there watching like why isn't Fury just sit on him.

The Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal fight was stopped too early

They called the fucking fight early... Nate Diaz is the type of guy that I actually like his chances the more he gets the shit kicked out of him in the first three rounds. It wakes him up a little bit. The little nerdy doctor was like, 'No, this guy can't fight,' where Nate Diaz was like, 'No, I have not yet begun to fight.'

Conor McGregor has lost his punching power

Connors got no power. No power anymore. No power. [...] It's good advertising for Proper 12 though because it's like if you don't drink this whiskey, Conor McGregor might knock you out... [but the old man] just sat there and kept going on with his day.

Dana White should put Greg Hardy in a ring with Francis Ngannou or Stipe Miocic

I don't understand why Dana White... There are so many guys that can kick [Greg Hardy's] ass, and he keeps fighting tomato kids. Have Francis Ngannou just beat the fuck out of him. Stipe Miocic, he'd kick his ass.

Anthony Joshua fights like a 5'10" man despite being 6'6"

Anthony Joshua just couldn't keep Andy Ruiz from charging in at him... Joshua is 6'6", but he fights like he's 5'10". Like he doesn't use that height to his advantage.

A McGregor fight is for money, but I fight for legacy

Conor is the best for money fight... If you fight Conor, it's for money fight. I have money. I'm not really interested by money. It's more legacy. When I fight someone, it's because I want to have what he has.

Jon Jones would have been the LeBron of MMA if he had his personal life together

In boxing, no, unless it's some sad story 30 years from now. But no, not in boxing.

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.

Conor McGregor cannot win a rematch against Khabib Nurmagomedov due to the matchup

Matchup-wise, this is just a bad matchup... Khabib doesn't get hit clean right away to get knocked out. He also has the ability to take him down, and also he's in great shape. He's not going to get tired... With Khabib, it didn't seem to have the same effect because Khabib's so big.
