UFC 248: Press Conference - Auckland

the only one more and my metabolism is fine like this, so I prefer to stay at my weight, so you mentioned before that you could even gain weight, does that matter? your mind on the training fieldWeight has never been a problem. I'm going to go to 205 and Yujin wants me to go heavy at some point, so weight has never been an issue for me. If he doesn't make the weight, all I know is that I want 80% of the check from him, that's all. I know you're worried that his lack of weight could rob you of that title defense, that's the only thing that bothers me because then he won't be ranked with a red ruby ​​on my belt if he doesn't do it.

Don't miss the weight and I'll really get mad at our Bobby. Give the opportunity to someone else who deserves it. I'm myaxx for the replacement. If he doesn't make way, I could say that Jerry Cannoneer intervenes or dares until he. He can do it and intervene because yes, everything he doesn't do, he is a guy who has disrespected the sport when his last victory was that guy two to one, this song, this is chess, not checkers, he probably had two others hours to try to do. the weight and he decided now I'm walking, I'll talk later let me explain to you that he had two hours to try to make the weight and he decided not to make the weight, you know why I will accept the fine, I will accept the fine.

Think about the point, but I won't dehydrate myself to the point where he can't fight and that way he'll go out, knock out Rockhold and then keep fighting for the belt and then he won't win. and then try again and then not win, so yeah, they have tactics that they have in place to try to make a step forward, you know, I mean, you saw it, let's not go that route, but yeah, for me I better gain weight and like I said, he's never missed the way he better make weight because I'm ready, man seriously, we have the two mics showing now that the media questions have done it, if anyone has a question, please go to one of those guys and ask questions because you all waiting, sorry thanks for waiting by the way I know you don't really want to see it be here listen to me boy if you want to ask questions jump on the microphone yeah , let's continue, we have a question, right? put the top there, hey, what's up far?

I know, the man sheriff or two here Christian for Yoel on them one or two Yoel, will you use Joey Coco Diaz as your translator during fight week? No no maybe for entertainment value or something say it again that's so good that's the question thank you next question please Azrael you've trained what Rumble and he's coming back would you say it's the sexiest Sara you've ever experienced? Inhaling and then continuing and after watching John Jones fight Dominic. raise Thiago Santos and the nixies are going to fight the young black man oh in my opinion I think Rumble would knock out all those guys in the first round how do you think he would do if he comes back knowing that John Jones is like his defense in his blow?

It's been worse than before, man, I said it before this last John Jones and Dominic fight, like I said, the guys were erased, their best years were behind them, but nobody listened to me until after you saw the fights with Thiago Santos and now that you saw it with Dominic we thought oh oh maybe you can do it. I've been telling you guys, I don't really care too much, yeah. Rumble is different. Rumble was definitely the first one I had where I thought no. I don't let myself be touched by this guy because I don't want to take a nap and I didn't, but yeah, he's definitely a powerful guy, he's a guy that doesn't want to be touched and he can knock out anyone in the 205 division.

Seriously, but If he comes back, I think he might move up to heavyweight because he seems a little silly right now. My man is super duper with triple C. Next question please, this question is for Izzy and you. Well, if you can understand, there will be any flying knee or anything fancy like the end of the fight, any spinning back fist. I'll hit him with a flying triangle omoplata and then I'll submit him in the fifth round and lastly, how old do you think you are? Is it really how? I think you know these Cubans, 1879 said well, whatever technological conspiracy was, I know, ask him, ask him, yeah, well, how are you?

You don't lie soul 43. Thank you, Ida, you lie, why do you always lie. We have another question here, please. Will he ever strike against the Machete clan on the rock on the rock ah, is it a possibility to shoot the d BB shots from a Machete clan shots of Whanganui and then I wonder what? Yes, it could happen, just stay tuned, the next question, how is it, how are you? Jay, do you have any predictions on how these fights will end? Honestly, I think about what I want from this point on. I want five to zero.

I want a failure. I want a clean sweep, like I did with Brad Tavares when I fought him, I want to do a clean sweep, but if he dies, he dies, it's not really my problem, thanks Jay, all the bass, my man, next question please , Jay, your brother from the Bay of Plenty, rolled me, my lady saved a lot of money to emerge. In support of all these New Zealand fighters, we're proud Barry that you're wearing a flag on your back, shouldn't we oh man thanks yeah good luck bro thanks there's matter. Hey, this is the man, thank you sir, next question please, it's the last time.

In the face to face we saw something very interesting and different, a bit like a dance, do you think we could say something like that at the end of the file? I thought, no, come on, I'm going to do a backflip. The divisions and that's it, they helped you. I don't know, it can happen, man, bomb squad, thanks. So when are you heading to Vegas, probably March 1st? I'll be going out, I think mom, listen, next week is my last hard week of training, so yeah, I just finished training, it was a lot of fun, but next week is the one where it's like putting your foot down, ass up, but um, yeah.

I can't wait man I just want to go out there and get it over with because we should never have to do this the fight is already sold man I just want to work I'm just here for you guys so thank you next. ask, please, Archer Izzy, sure, if you could fight anyone who's been in prison, dead or alive, who would you be in the present, dead or alive? He's not dead yet, but your America was born in 1897, maybe As it happened, he is in the present and not dead yet, but you will on March 7th.

Ok buy all right next question please stop Israel sure what makes you think you can go up to heavyweight and earn more? No? King in a ring, you're looking at a ring, yes, I did it in King in a ring, I did it in boxing and like I said, I'll do it again in MMA. I really don't need you to choose. Oh throbbing, I can skip the whole division and go to heavyweight after clearing the middleweight division like Robert owns the division. for so long, so I feel like I really want is that Dre, hey what's up, this is Dana and J, hey, what's up, stay, what's up bro, are you doing a good man?

So I actually took my first class at City kickboxing and you saw me in two of the four I took mm-hmm I just want to say that this opportunity has been great. Shout out to kickboxing. City kickboxing. Eugene Barrowman. It has been a humbling experience and I enjoyed it. Thank you, thank you Dan. You all are great, Eugene. I understand why city kickboxing is in the number one gym in the world because the wonderful people see that these guys came all the way from America just to train with us. This is what I'm talking about. They are not the only ones they are not there listen listen they are not the only ones right now the gym is international you go to the gym you can find people from Finland from Norway from Ireland from Germany everyone comes to our gym because of what we have created where the best are hold firm, wait until tomorrow, you see, we will prove it again with a little thank you, thank you guys, keep our Dana short, next question, please, Kyoto is sure about this, thank you. for sitting here and doing this for us, thanks for waiting, it seems really impersonal to have it on a screen and that's fine you know, I guess thanks again for beating the hellbugs, now you're up there with the big boys from New Zealand and we should be giving more, Eugene should have gotten that award, but hey, we're stuck in that sport that I won't tell the rest of the world about, yeah, any chance of a dance challenge with that old man before he's gone.

If he has it like I said on March 7th, he's not dead yet, but after it's our dance at his grave, that's the way, mate with you from the beginning. Thank you. We have two more questions. So let's finish this first here. so we'll come to this microphone here. I would also like to ask another question. You know how you mentioned that he cheats both inside and outside the cage on numerous occasions. They ended it in Strikeforce as you mentioned as a vacancy and. getting hurt by Polar Costa, but then he liked that technique where he pointed and then you also pretended, uh, you're going to hit, what if you get to the position where you were about to finish him and you in that sequence and then try to pull one of those? he moves, what are you going to do in that case and how are you going to stop him from trying to use the rules against you and stuff like that?

You can't beat them, join them for me. I just watched as Bronson grabbed my shorts not once. but twice, yeah, I saw him and I thought, oh, he saw what happened to him right after that, yeah, exactly the same thing you can try, he can scratch friends, he can try to gouge out my eyes, he can try to get me whatever . he has to go grab some acai or whatever eventually, when the time is right, so there's a lot going on after he finishes this fight. I'm going to explain a lot of things with synchronicity that have been happening right now in this camp when This fight is done, it will be so beautiful, it will be so elegant and I can't wait for you to see the final sequence in your mind.

Are you really going to break up with him? I have seen many, as I said, what I want is five million. I really want five zero but if he dies, he dies. Can you also say hello to my brother and give it to him? Can you say hello to Celine? Celine, what's wrong? Celine, where are you? Who is that job? But thanks. Hello, last question please. last question, I don't know if I can get to that level, but Ezreal, this is the hero tonight, we have the eternal 50 card for quite a few of your German guys, some of the other local gems are fighting, I just want to know for you who you think that some of the guys in your training were right now right on the verge of maybe getting a late fight in the UFC or maybe a spot on the contenders series, even yesterday, guys, a lot of things happened behind us, even yesterday. when someone missed the wait, I don't know who missed the wait, but Eugene was on the phone trying to get Sean Shelby to get BJ Bland Blood Diamond or John Vokey in this car tomorrow he was, he was doing everything he could, but then I think they moved. the fight in two weeks in Japan or China something like that, but yeah, BJ, smooth, Blood Diamond, John, vodka for vodka and any other bucket, guys, Kelly, block, what's up?

Carlos Alberg, we have a whole gang of people, men like many, many people. in the corner, but in time you guys will figure it out and be on the lookout for the eternal tonight, man, we have a turtle tonight, anyone, yeah, grassroots, definitely, I'll be there too, I'll see you there, thank you very much, regards . each one is ten thank you all Yoel thank you for joining us Izzy thank you for joining us I always hated everyone thank you for waiting and I can't wait until tomorrow night are we ready for this last attempt? thank you all for joining us, that's the quickest way out see you tomorrow morning for the fights make some noise for these fighters it's going to be a great show see you there Whitaker almost everyone decided that it's real outside of Sonya wants to fight with Yoel Romero no one wants to fight the older man Israel wants to fight them Israel has the title Israel feels his legacy won't be complete if he doesn't beat Romero teni-dono white right everyone who faces this man Joe lives to tell the tale but they have some stories for everyone. everyone who goes in there with him is saved he feels like he's made of iron if you look up an athletic monster in the dictionary this guy comes to mind he hits a rock hard as a rock he's a real savage when he try to fight, his ability to explode closes it's stupid to compete at an elite level 98 I have your mop what I want to test myself against everyone from this era who the Beast you wanted Romero free in that place you asked for that beast I know but yes you can make that look easy It just makes you look legendary two from Nigeria with the lime inside my chest and that's the heart of a yellow lion America the mother I'm the champion, let's see you soon boy
