Okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. The fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back, and Degree listened, and that doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason why it's the number one men's antiperspirant, and it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart, Target and try to OG Cool Rush for yourself.

Let's get to this one because, boy, the news keeps rolling and the boy, Ilia Toria, is not letting off the gas. And today's episode is brought to you by Total Wireless, the official wireless provider of the UFC. They are in your corner with unlimited 5G data that will not slow you down. But before we get to Iliad Deporia, hey, just for an update, Tom Aspinall said that he's getting frustrated waiting. He said it's very difficult mentally on him. But he said that this right here, this waiting is the fight for him. Waiting on Jon Jones to set the date, stay motivated. It's a tricky bit for him to stay motivated, and he's trying his best, but at times it gets very difficult knowing that he wants to fight, but he's not getting the fight right now especially. But Jones did say that he knows what he's doing and he will fight Tom Aspen also. At least we have that to look forward to at some point. Hopefully Madison Square Garden in New York City. So today's video. Let's talk about Ilya Toria. So Ilya Toria has been very vocal about wanting to fight Makachev, wanting to beat Makachev. He is. He is confident, and I believe his confidence is deserved. You know, the guy has won so many fights, he's done so well against so many big name guys that he should feel confident in anybody, especially with his ability to knock people out. And he was on the Full Sin podcast, I think, yesterday, and he was talking about fighting Makhachev, talking about how he wants to win his fight. Hopefully Islam wins his fight and then they will come together to fight. It doesn't seem like Ilya Toporia is giving up on this fight with Islam Makhachev. Now. I think that this guy is very good. I don't know that you need to chase. Right. If you're Ilia Tor, obviously they both have massive fights coming up, and that is honestly where the focus should be. I know we all talk about it and we people that discuss the sport, we talk about him versus Islam because that is a big fight. But at the end of the day, you got a dangerous Charles Oliveira that is waiting to try and regain the world championship, because in a heartbeat, all of it can be gone. I don't. I'm not sitting here attempting to coach up Ilya Tor. You tell him where his, his, his attention should be. This guy's a world champion. This guy's undefeated. Right. He's done it all to this point. But I'm just saying that I know right from experience when you look down the line, especially in this thing, it's very difficult. So Ilot Toria wants to fight Islam, but needs to get through Charles Ol first. Especially, guys, when we are hearing that he and his team are kind of going in separate directions just because of the schedule. They said it's no bad blood. I. I really don't know how at this point, a month before what will be your opportunity to win a second title, how much effect that will have on team Toria. Honestly, if I'm Ilia, I'm still just using those Guys, because even if I have to do my training camp with someone else, I know that those guys know me so well that if they can get with me for a week, two weeks, we are still so aligned. Especially if there's no bad blood, we're still so aligned that we will get through the fight and we will still be able to coexist. Not only coexist, but also we gel. Right. This is a team that got this guy from a young, young man to being 160 or 170 UFC champion, beating two of the greatest featherweights of all time. Right? So to have that familiarity is very important to an athlete. A lot of times we see athletes switch teams, all these things as they get down later into their career. This man is still in the heart of his career. So there is something to the idea that we have grown so much that we can't come together and collaborate on what is going to be one of the biggest moments of his entire fight career, especially knowing that those guys have trained him since he was, like, 15 years old. To me, that's a little bit odd, but, you know, is what it is. So Chael and I were talking the other day, and sometimes we talk, and I don't know if he's trying to troll me, round me up, or if he truly believes what he's saying, but his interpretation of the situation was the bottom line is you entered a division openly that you said you wouldn't face one of the top guys. That's not a sign of courage. That's a sign of cowardice. I don't love the idea he was speaking in regards to Islam going up to 170. Here's where I disagree with Chael. He had been having his eyes on 170. This isn't something new that Makachev was talking about. And how about the fact that people constantly call Islam, he called me, or anyone that cuts weight, bullies. What about now that he's going up and he's going to fight in a weight class that most of you say is more suited for size? How is that not doing exactly what people have called for for years? Well, he's so good only because he cut so much weight. If he weighs that much, he should do well against those people that are much smaller than him. How about now? And Jack De La Maddalena is as tough as anyone in the ufc. He's an amazing fighter. So not only are you going up to fight at a weight class more suited for you in the eyes of the people that ingest this thing, but you're also going up to fight a guy that just beat a person that you said, I don't really want to fight him. We share management. We're friends. He just beat that person. He beat that person convincingly. Also a person that also shares the same type of wrestling ability or same type of skill set as you do, how's that? Not courageous. That's why I disagree with my boy Chael. I love Chael, and we have a lot of fun on our show, but you can't call someone or say they have that type of behavior when. When they're doing that. And they've defended the belt multiple times. They fought people on short notice. They fought people coming up and weight class. They've done just about everything they can to show that they're willing to lay it on the line. We always talk about, step on the line, step on the line, step on the line, steps on the line every single time. This is the first time that Islam has honestly put his wishes above what everybody else wants. Because when everybody else wanted him to fight, Voki did it when everybody was looking for him to fight Armand, and Armand couldn't well fight this guy who's number. Number five, Moikano Dangerous, no training camp. He did it on a day's notice. He's always done it. So to say that it was a. It wasn't a great move in that regard, that's not. I don't agree with that. I don't agree with that at all. And not. That's not just me talking about experiences of knowing this man. I'm talking from experience of knowing what a fighter thinks. And no fighter is afraid of anything. And I've said this before, and Islam Makhachev is not afraid. I've said this twice. I've said twice now, because my daughter yesterday was getting ready for one of her finals, and she kept saying, I'm. And I was like, don't say it. Don't say it. Don't say it. Take a beat. And now I'm the guy that's out here doing it for you, which is crazy. I never do that. You know, it's interesting because as we had when Bilal and Jack fought, we had a fight that really could clear up multiple divisions. It feels like these two fights could also do that. Here's the question, though. Does Toporia go up again? Because I don't know that if you're Makachev, you're willing to meet him in the middle or go back down. I don't know if Topuria is Willing to say, I'm going to go all the way up to 170. These are two of the greatest fighters in the world, and you don't know what's going to happen. You don't know what's going to happen. Islam did say, though, win some fights at 155, maybe I come back down and I'll fight you. So you have that to look forward to in the sense that maybe you'll get to see Those guys fighting. No. 1. And I get. I get people are disappointed that they aren't getting this, but no one is as disappointed as us. We all love it. Because you have a lot of people that want to see these guys fight, know how special they are, and know what they've meant to the UFC since they've got there. And, I mean, when I look at this, right, Islam's had seven fights since 2021. That guy's active. Illy has had six fights since 2021. That guy's Active. Look, a lot of people that argue at times that Illy is a little more active, but obviously looking in that, that's not true. That's not true. They both fight, right? They both fight, and they both fight. Just about anyone. Makachev could have been very disappointed when he was fighting guys that really there was nothing to gain for him because the top guys would not fight him, but he fought them all. Ilia, when it seemed like he should have been fighting for a belt much sooner than he fought for the belt, was fighting very dangerous guys, that didn't seem to add much value to his resume. And he fought them all. And he fought them all. He fought them all. They both fight. Everybody put in front of him. This is the first time where I feel like one guy saying, I'm going to value what I want to try to do above it. It wasn't a secret that Islam wanted to go to 170, he's now finally getting an opportunity to do that. Both of these guys are active, though. I don't know how many people you can go back to 20, 21 and see who fought more, especially guys that were fighting at that level of the ufc. Hell, in the last two years, Islam's fought four times and Ilya's fought twice or three times. Sorry. These guys are very active fighters. They step on the line, and hopefully at some point we'll get to see them step on the line against each other. But right now, let's enjoy what we got. We got two of the best fighters in the world fighting in massive fights, four world championships, and then we'll see what those world championship fights lend to what happens in the future. That's what it is, is what it is. So we know we're getting Jones versus Aspinall. Don't know when, right? And we know that we're getting these two fights. It's a big deal. All right. It's a big deal. So guys, thanks again for watching. I appreciate you, love and appreciate your support every single time. Like, subscribe, tell your friends to tell their friends that I've got a YouTube channel and I'm doing things like this at DCTV. Until next time. Peace.
