Okay, I am good now. I feel good. Not cutting like much weight. Some of the guys cutting weight. If you late, they're gonna beat you.

[B]

Beat me? You think that people can beat me now?

[C]

Two, three people can beat you together.

[B]

At the same time.

[C]

I remember one time when we almost smashed you in a cage.

[B]

You tried to jump me almost. Because Khabib. Yeah, why you guys. You guys follow this guy like this, huh? He's the leader. Tell me the story.

[C]

You say like you big. Like you bring the crma. Like, as you say, this is my team. This is my team. You teach like 10, 15 people. But when we almost smash you, nobody can.

[B]

You're crazy.

[C]

Nobody like step to help you, you know?

[B]

Remember, this was you. You guys wanted to fight me. Why? Why you want to smash me?

[C]

Because you go crazy with Khabib.

[B]

That time Why? I go crazy.

[C]

You make him injured?

[B]

No, I didn't injure Habib. I've never injured his neck. He said, oh, and I grabbed the head.

[C]

You say, let's, let's do like, something easy. And you go hard with him.

[B]

But do you remember the other day when we're in, when we were in practice, I tell him, I'm finished, I'm finished. I go on the side. What do you do? Throw me down, Jump on me?

[C]

Two days ago, yes, it's okay.

[B]

But it's the same, like, because he.

[C]

Said, okay, make you work, man. Make you work to have good dinner.

[B]

So wait, why, why, why? When I do it, I try hurt Habib, but when he do it, he just make me work. You see, now you. Now I understand bias. You know, everybody say, oh, he biased Islam. Now I understand bias.

[C]

Now you both retired. Who cares if you're injured? Nobody. At that time, he's still fighting.

[B]

Islam. Jack is, has improved greatly in his wrestling. He's working with Craig Jones, Alexander Volkanovski. Alexander Volkanovski, who had success defending takedowns, is also helping him prepare. What do you make of that? Seeing all those guys ask me, let's.

[C]

Make this Craig one fight. MMA fight.

[B]

Everybody asks you what?

[C]

Like, he helped me to improve something. Improve something. It's not working like this. When you bring someone for one camp or for two camps, I. I just give you good example. I tell them yesterday, what about khamzat fighting with diplocy? I think diplossy bring many coaches, many, many partners. But it's not help. It's not working like this.

[B]

He was waiting. Why was he waiting so long to try? Did he ever sprawl? Du plessis? Did he ever sprawl?

[C]

I don't think he ever sprawled upset, but I don't think he even watched the wrestling match in the tv. You know.

[B]

He didn't sprawl one time. There was one thing you had to do in that fight, and that was defend wrestling. He. He didn't sprawl. So do you think Jack will be able to wrestle or be able to stop takedowns? Or do you anticipate that you're going to be able to take him down.

[C]

And control him one time, Second time. But you know, you know, I will try again. Again, Again, Hard to stop.

[B]

Are you comfortable? Are you comfortable standing and striking with Jack Della Madeline if you need to.

[C]

For 25 minutes, like fighting, like, wrestle against boxer? I will strike. I can strike with anyone. You know, I strike with Dustin. All fight Almost. I strike with vog, you know, I'm not wrestler. I'm the best MMA fighter.

[B]

You know, when you talk about these guys, there's some things, when we talk, you always say crazy stuff, but there's a clip where you were talking about Dustin Poirier's black belt. There's just so many clips of you, like, talking about these guys when you fight them. Is it what's expected? Because Dustin was able to defend the takedowns, Dustin was able to stay upright, and you have to beat him on the feet. But are you surprised at times when you get in there with someone when you have an idea that they're not going to be as good at something? Because like I said, Dustin's a black belt. He was able to defend himself up until the fifth round. And then you did to get a takedown. You did exactly what we teach you. That's the one that takedown will teach you. With the leg. That's the one we teach you, man.

[C]

Us don't have this technique, man. Single leg, double leg, and pressure.

[B]

The best wrestling school, the best wrestling country in the world right now, and you're telling me we don't have something.

[C]

Single leg, double leg, and pressure. That's it.

[B]

So. So again, are you surprised?

[C]

Yeah, like, surprise? Yeah, honestly, I'm surprised. He defend wrestling very well, but I am not black belt and I still finish him in the last round.

[B]

Yeah. Would you be surprised if Jack is able to defend every takedown?

[C]

Every takedown?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

No, it's not possible.

[B]

Every takedown, it's not possible.

[C]

Maybe some of someone here can defend, but not every takedown.

[B]

You think you take anybody down?

[C]

Yeah, if I take you down.

[B]

You never took me down.

[C]

I swear. I have video, man.

[B]

You want me to show you the picture of me and you and Whose hand is Romero holding up after the. After the match?

[C]

No, we talk about picture. Take down, not about picture. I have video when I take you down.

[B]

You know, you've been promising this video for three fights now, and I've never seen the video.

[C]

I will show you.

[B]

Yeah, you need to show me the video. If you win this fight this weekend, what would that mean to you and legacy? Because I think earlier in the week, I heard you on an interview and you spoke about legacy. I don't know that I've ever heard you say legacy before. What would this mean to you and your legacy? To become a champion in two divisions, man.

[C]

I take the title. I have the title. I have the money now. Now is the legacy. Now the second Build. People fight for the second belt. Just for the legacy. Most of them. And like you, you take the second belt in Madison Square Garden.

[B]

No Vegas. But I defended it in Madison Square Garden.

[C]

My arena is better.

[B]

What to become double champion?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I fought Madison Square Garden too.

[C]

Islam, but not for the second belt.

[B]

I had two belts when I came into Madison Square Garden and left with two belts. See you see, man.

[C]

I close.

[B]

You understand?

[C]

I close to beat you all records are you.

[B]

You'd have to have the second belt still Islam. And you have more title defense.

[C]

The hall of Fame. You're in the hall of Fame? Yes.

[B]

There's a lot. You can list them all.

[C]

It's hard.

[B]

You know what I know? You know what I know you asked.

[C]

Me always I need to some things to look. And I want to beat you know mine.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Soon you need to so.

[C]

And I will be one of the best fighter from AKA yes, you already.

[B]

One of the best of all time from ak. You know, right now. You know, right now in AKA history. It's me, Habib, only two over you now you got to you pass Luke and Kane. No, Kane still you're number four. You're still number four. Because Kane, Kane do a little bit better than you in his career. Little bit. Cage.

[C]

Okay, okay. I'm number for which number you are me? Yeah.

[B]

Khabib never lost, so I kind of put him number one. Because he's undefeated. It's hard not to lose. You lost. Think about this, like the one time.

[C]

No, no, don't think.

[B]

No, but I'm saying you could never lose. Like you were better than the guy. But you make mistake. Khabib never lost.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

It's impossible to like, never lose. Right? So, yes, he. I will put him number one. He's very good.

Khabib ain't skinny. He grapple every day, every week. Khabib is not skinny, bro. Khabib weighs so heavy right now. And big.

[C]

No, he's big but not fit.

I'm Eva Longoria. And I'm Maite Gomez Jejon. And on our podcast Hungry for History, we mix two of our favorite things, food and history. Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells, and they called these ostrakon to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way. Bring back the ostricon. And because we've got a very mi casa es su casa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by.

Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the El Golf of Mexico. No, the America.

[A]

No, the America.

[C]

El fue de Mexico continuing forever and ever.

[A]

It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this. In this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife.

I think that's intimidating to a man.
