Bear, stop telling bullshit stories about people not using headphones. Because different gyms didn't have music and at the fight. There wasn't music we, and you don't know this because you're too young. And not that sharp, we had things called discoming. And before that, we had a thing called a walkman with cassette tapes, which were these little square, things that fit into this little machine that played your music and it had headphones. Yeah, it was called a walkman looking it up genius dude, stop talking shit. You don't know about cause it makes you look really stupid

Awesome show n guest,. Appreciate seeing the fighters personality shine theough

[@alcottdevalte7440]

The irony in both teammates Sterling and Merab exposing Cejudo's Olympic wrestling skills for MMA, which are way overrated. Just don't understand all the high fight IQ praise. Cejudo doesn't even have a clue about any jiu jitsu at all. Merab picking him up in round 3 before slamming him in front of the Facebook guy must have annoyed Cejudo a lot considering his ego and mocking all fighters during his breakdowns on his channel. Anyway, Merab vs Umar one day would be a really great exciting matchup.
