Takes

Conor McGregor is still one of the top ten best fighters in the world

Conor McGregor... he's still one of the top ten guys in the world. I mean, he's still one of the top ten best guys in the world... Conor coming back is a headliner.

Deontay Wilder is a pathetic loser

I don't hate the guy. Guy's a pathetic loser. So how could I have any anger with him at all?

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.

My AEW return at the United Center is the number one moment of my career

Number one easily, number one far and away. What that represented, what the moment was far and away. Number one moment in my career, easily, easily. It's like number one. And then there's a gap. And then there's number two.

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.

WWE fosters a culture where wrestlers are encouraged to step on each other's necks

Vince always fostered this, this a culture where he wanted everybody at their throat. He wanted people stepping on your neck to get to where you are and ahead of you and all that other stuff. And now I think there's wrestlers on both sides who were like, whatever, let's all go get pancakes.

Jake Paul used performance enhancing drugs for the Tyron Woodley fight

It came out that there was no drug testing for that fight. Jake Paul probably wrote it up. I didn't want to say anything, but in Caleb's interview you can see acne right around is like, just really bad. But what about his nipples? Anyone can see their ConEd.

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].

I will defeat Bobby Laing at Rough and Rowdy 15

The main thing I'm thinking about whooping Bobby, making sure my hand getting pulled up at the end of the belt and collecting my thousand dollars now that I know between you guys... Bobby is a bull and I'm going to be the bull master.

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.

LeBron James would obviously beat Mike Tyson in a street fight because of his size and reach.

LeBron James would obviously beat up Mike Tyson. He's way bigger, Billy. Dude, reach. He's bigger. Mike Tyson... LeBron James is like 6'9". And LeBron's tough. He's never flopped.

Conor McGregor is finished as a legitimate top-tier fighter

So him, him as a legitimate fighter that is over... he hasn't won, he's won one fight since 2016. And the guy he beat had has lost or has not won a fight in his last six fights. So he, he's not, he's just not going to be able to fight at a high level.

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.

Jake Paul 'owns' Dana White by exposing UFC fighter pay disparity

The reason why I say Jake Paul kind of owns Dana White a little bit, he got Dana White to talk about him in the post-fight press conference... he points out that he has made more money than every other UFC fighter before him. Except for Khabib and McGregor... basically he is like, Dana, why don't you pay your guys so they don't have to come fight me and make their big payday?

MMA fighters should start wearing shin guards in professional fights

They should make the shin kicks illegal. Or make them wear shin guards like they do in other MMA sports... I think literally guys are just kicking so hard the shin can't evolve fast enough.

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.

I would literally kill Jake Paul in a boxing ring

Jake Paul's 5'7"? If I got into a ring with him, I'd literally kill him... I'm just bad enough of a boxer that he'd take the fight because he's like, oh, this guy looks big, but he's not that good of a boxer. So he like I might beat him.

Francis Ngannou's life story deserves a 30 for 30

We do need a 30 for 30 on Francis Ngannou's life. It's crazy. He worked in a sand mine when he was 10 years old in Cameroon... traveled to Europe, took 14 months, failed a bunch of times, had to go to prison because he illegally crossed the border... and now he's a world champ.

I will fight Darren Rovell anytime, anywhere for zero dollars.

My Fyre Fest is that Darren Rovell doesn't look like he's going to fight me anymore... I told Barstool, I said, 'I will do it for zero dollars.' And I removed all stipulations. Anytime, anywhere, I will fight Darren Rovell. Anytime, anywhere. He just loves being talked about... The only thing I will say is anytime, anywhere, if he wants to fight me, I will show up and I will kick his ass and I will do it with a smile on my face.

Jose Canseco didn't have any power and essentially quit the fight

Once he punched me, I realized the fucking wizard behind the curtain was fucking just a man. I fucking went after him... He didn't give me... He quit. No, he quit.

I am 100% confident I could beat up Darren Rovell

Listen, I'm going to beat the shit out of Darren Rovell. If you were to ask me, name one person in the world that I'm confident that I could beat up, it's Darren Rovell. I don't think anybody in the world couldn't kick Darren Rovell's ass.

He's going to beat you? Yes. Would you like to put a side bet on that? ... Five grand that I beat him easily. ... If he runs from me, I'm not going to chase him.

I am going to 'skull fuck' Jose Canseco in our fight

I'm going to skull fuck him. ... I'm absolutely going to skull fuck him. No doubt. He's tiny. I mean, yeah, he looks big. He's 270 pounds. But I just care about the frame. He has a smaller frame than I thought.

I am going to 'skull fuck' Jose Canseco with my fists

My hot seat is Jose Canseco. I'm going to skull fuck him with my fists.

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.

I would fight Jay Mariotti for charity at the United Center

Jay Mariotti. He went after me so bad... I told him, I said, let's go to United Center for three rounds. You pick to put the money in, whoever wins. You give the money to charity. It's still on. If I want to do that, if I want to do charity in Chicago, I don't mind.

I am an absolute weapon and I'm going to give 180 seconds of hell to Jose Canseco

I'm fucking gonna go balls to the wall... I'm an absolute weapon... I can get hit. I can look like I'm about to die when I'm a zombie. Keep coming.

The only way I lose to Jose Canseco is in some messed up swift decision

The only way I lose to Canseco is in some fucked up swift decision. Even if I lose, I'm not going to get knocked out in the first 30 seconds. No, I'm not losing.

I would 100% beat the shit out of Jake Paul in a boxing match

By the way, I'd 100% beat the shit out of Jake Paul. He wouldn't touch me. They'll never fight me because I actually would beat them. They only choose guys they know they can strategically win with reach.

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.

I am going to kick Jose Canseco's ass

I'm going to fucking kick his ass... I'm going to fuck him up. No, yeah, you are. Dude, I've hit the point in my athlete-to-weapon transition where it's like, the only way to win and to get this guy to stop punching me is I have to punch him harder to make him quit.

I will 'wipe Jose Canseco off the face of the earth' and force him to retire from public life

If I beat up Jose Canseco and he loses his fight, I don't see how he can even show his face in public again. So I'm literally wiping him off the face of the earth. We're never going to hear from him again.

Billy Football will fight Jose Canseco as my champion

I have found a champion in my place. Learn the game of Thrones, Jose. Ever heard of it? My champion is Billy Football. I will have him fight in lieu of me... Billy is fighting for my honor. He's your fall guy, right? I am a coward, hand up, whatever. But I have my champion. He is Billy Football. He will fight in my place.

Jake Paul is a fraud and is scared to fight me

He is scared to fight you. That's what I heard. That's not a rumor. That's a fact. He texted Billy and it was like, I'm scared. Anyway. One step closer to me beat his ass. She's a fraud.

Jake Paul is lying about being 6'1" and is actually 5'9"

Jake Paul is lying about his height. He's listed at 6'1", but is really 5'9". And I put a picture of Jake Paul who wore a headdress in his face-off with Nate Robinson to show that he's not actually the same height... He's shorter than KSI, who is listed as 5'9".

I would rock Jake Paul's shit because I have fewer commitments than anyone else

I legitimately have the least amount of commitments out of the whole company at this moment... I also like to work out and have endured a good amount of head trauma, which make me suitable for boxing... I would make him think I was easily beatable, but I would rock his shit.

I would fuck up Jake Paul in a fight 100%

I will fuck up Jake Paul 100%. He's small. He's 5'7 at the tallest. I looked at a picture of him next to Dave Portnoy, and they were the exact same height... I have a bigger reach than Jake Paul. I would totally be able to pick him out from the outside.

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.

Boxing at the professional level is the most difficult sport in terms of coordination and stamina

Boxing on top. Yeah. Agreed. Because you could suck at all these sports pretty easily true. But some sports are more difficult to suck at... Boxing at the highest level, I think is the hardest difficulty in terms of everything that's involved: hand-eye coordination, fast-twitch muscles, stamina.

I could beat Jameis Winston in a boxing match

Watching him box—I actually think I could beat up Jameis Winston and I'm not a good boxer. Wow. He looks like a beginner out there... I hereby challenge Jameis Winston to fight me in Rough N' Rowdy... I'm a wide five-nine. I'm like a chode. My arms are longer than those of a five-nine man... If I fought Jameis Winston straight up, I'd just double leg him and take him down.

Conor McGregor's retirement is not real

But I'm sure he's not coming back. No way. In like October. No chance. Or November. Whenever Khabib's next up to fight him.

Dana White being forced to cancel UFC events makes me very nervous about the return of sports

The UFC canceling their next pay-per-view is making me scared... when Dana White has to adhere to the rules makes me a little nervous.

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.
