5-30-09 Seg 3 Former WEC Featherweight Champion Urijah Faber Joins the Show

" And yeah. Six point seven. Because coming from my shoulder and it's your anger. My name is Luke Thomas editor in chief of bloody elbow dot com and insightful. On the Internet for mixed martial arts and this is the best shows for mixed martial arts and radio this is -- and a nation. Your show overall things mixed martial arts and the Washington. C area and beyond number to call 800. 6361067. -- that number 806361067. I believe these. We are trying to make contact with -- one derived -- I'm not sure exactly what the hell's going on back there are so -- The -- and there's a dead man talking -- it's ready to -- radio. And announced him trying to call it's going nowhere. Which is fun. It was a close. Again a -- 806361067. I did send the article to him the your Kung -- was actually good here hmmm so that'll be able to just get a -- just a moment. For folks out who are adjusted in some of the goings on tonight's others and a war gods carted. Com which is going to be an epic disaster although -- is very justified her thumb for folks orange the war God's got a little labeled a com. There is a a post about it. It is what in the most disastrous events this is that the war Roosevelt was the event that Ken shamrock. Thoughts -- I was a Ross -- in the 9000 pound monster. Who he was actually able to defeat and then popped positive for not one. Not true. Not far there's three different kinds of steroids from in the after Iraq and the media in the post fight in your analysis. That was the war -- Norma -- and the promoter mean ultimately. I suppose in some sort of macro way all these mixed martial Lawrence promoters -- was sort of -- attention to something -- equation but John. -- but not all created equal. To put it mildly. They're -- created equal. Also for those folks -- able to come -- you check out an interview with Michael should -- she is a commentator for. K Warren. In full read it recently did the dream DynCorp. Or HD net that aired all and it was the 26 at 5 AM and he is excellent in my view. Folks are gonna tell me I'm wrong because you excuse one liners but he's got an all a wonderful accent on his Australian families and it is. Like you're probably really compensating. And it's been just been document by other stuff of the go -- put them here again and the problems and that's. Lead play by play guys are being. Plucked from the ranks of folks who were accustomed to doing other sports. As a as a consequence they don't really know anything about -- that even the striking component particularly when the striking is mixed with the wrestling widgets -- Right solution -- is guys -- who can't even then articulate the option to view. From potentially what's going on as a consequence the need color guy is having to make a Ford Field also here's -- so what is going on my friends still in my. I literally it's. Assuming our guard called the self finance her car and our new senator brown sounds good talk to grand sweeping right now he just put maybe a hundred -- in the the last stuff five minutes -- auction where they're going what was -- doing this is going -- voicemail and as resourceful so does he Carter's third. Did you tell you Jackson zero and a good way to respond the sex -- just Tyson are now through third phone calls. -- not only do we have permission from Mike Brown I just thought in my brown both near and dear bella soon. Course if there's -- there is nothing more annoying in this world. Then trying to -- fighters Obama doesn't talk about it -- illegals -- zero I'm instant organ and and actually. I'm done -- we -- and you'd be seeking greater real I'm very excited or to Canada but in general. This process. Did you say or to squeeze through pressure -- get on the -- aren't -- gone. -- Yeah we'll get on the so here's one more -- let's talk about some well we wish mister Faber third was. Fortunate to some bad news we should probably get to resolve this is. Knows how -- the president. There it below the -- injuries this past week to mixed martial arts and but supporters of -- to look at one is that the injuries were so bad that it tells something about mixed martial arts. I mean I don't I don't know exactly that's supposed to say. Makes more Schwartz is a very. It's a very and some final support to sign up for everybody it's certainly an offer for underage people as a bookstore medically eligible to compete and other amateur professional level -- we have the screens in place that's why the sport is in fact. Regulated by arms of the government in North America that's also -- fights like Jose Canseco was home in Troy and -- are not only dangerous but they're a deeply unethical and -- like fans the Japanese in the nation has released. I'm honored that the third two incidents this past. A week there was a fighter. In Iowa who. Clinton easily year old kid who landed on his head and is now. At least temporarily paralyzed. I'm doctors are not sure she's been able to walk again he has we gained some of kind of our emotion a certainly is -- and I believe some kind of motion in his legs but it's not at all clear -- the fight against. But it's not at all clear about what kind of mobility collapse. And secondly. I do want to talk about a very briefly. There was a female mixed martial or is that I'm very tragically just go other Norwich. He's on behalf of winter just six just -- she is now a medically induced coma and it would certainly believe. And believe -- Totally -- I believe she had in any ransom. Figure imagine on the for the poor girl had an anger is my belief in her brain -- make sure about that well but -- was larger issue neither fighter had insurance. There is it it's it's what you've been -- No neither fighter had insurance. It was during his sparring session for just about the way and she was ready for a fight she is actually thought we should taste for example. And apparently. Here's the description when Bedard to the gloves and had girl she told gym owner Scott come federal excellent Julie Julie -- should arise when Joe noticed that her breathing was shallow he called 911. I've been charged bush friend jay Gould's of the via ambulance then it noticed that one of pupils larger than the other an indication of brain trauma a -- an indicated a rupture or Rees she's not -- short brief and just because of rain on. Here's what's the deal look they're a lot of fighters that are very notable to have a lot of our public presidents that are doing quite well for themselves but the reality is that the fight world particularly amateur ranks and moral professional ranks are filled with broke people. And that's broke that day. Talk tennis like go to two you know before you go on vacation they don't have health insurance. The answer is necessarily -- in the pressure on WB season -- the world -- for some kind of comprehensive health coverage without put them out of business but it is a reality folks should be aware of and it's another reason why -- wings had mixed martial arts events is truly. A disgusting practice because these guys are are putting themselves in positions where. They don't even have the ability some medically -- themselves. Because they don't have the financial resources. It's truly a sad state of affairs but it's a wind -- aren't. And had a things we'll select right now we have these former WEC for the -- champion he is taking on in his hometown of Sacramento California to ARCO Arena on June 7. Do you -- fighting Mike Brown for the subway tunnels to re. Shirts that belts that this is one Iran asked favor with a -- assert."

" Don't gate and you create this site about a week later -- greater --"

" I'd call you on -- I just started today as a matter of fact I just solid retreated about your Bulldog let me ask you are bulldogs manageable dogs do like this dog is it okay this isn't just easy to train."

" the Phoenix -- a vote Hillary is out."

" Sacramento not your dog I don't know about -- the end but they seem pretty quiet -- keyboard could get it and there's."

" It is now the -- out that way wanted. And that pretty smart."

" You know ice and had a good relationship -- guy -- first started this game you know I actually good."

" Feel good tour back -- looking at understanding and how little it all those guys in and so. You know we actually have managers in common in a place that --"

" Heated up commonality and you know he's got -- added value murky these art workers. And -- to change. That this worked out he came down and you know a couple of thousand laps in the Pulitzer about a month and it happens. And that did not -- immensely strong guys and they he's -- at the time and again."

" You he talks about that in all his interviews and I mean this in the pot most positive in the most complimentary way. Is he as insane as he sounds."

" It is extremely changed and by that I mean intent and allowed in and just. You know I don't ever take root if there's plenty there there and video is -- the idea."

" pretty good way to describe this fact in the back seat actually you know not crazy but he's."

" Intentions and I can say in the way in saint."

" How how is it forecasts for me how far can he go and he clearly all this decision -- wants him back do you believe I heard this today I want to get your opinion on it. Do you believe he's the best pure wrestler makes more short."

" As far as technique -- goes I would say. I won't please good best necessarily. Term interest or idea is that you -- world championship might be the most accomplished. I don't think it's I don't really technical and I think you hit his tenacity his willpower but it's -- strive Bardner."

" Is this Jim what the -- the commentators were noticing that you look for all of -- full -- he he does hit very very hard he's a very good kick boxer he's known for his knock -- power and war does seem to just simply waltz through it it in training did you notice that he has a durability that is second to none."

" Close you know."

" At this point I would stated."

" You know how they get chin is -- alleged -- Understanding. And giving it ending at the end. 80 you don't photos that got knocked up are they still. 35 -- and her him or get a big -- It is fired it'll take a budget that he proved it prudent barely getting a pleasure in any area knock down drag itself. --"

" And and and we were -- with him did you say to yourself I think this guy can win like did you in training. We did it was a clear to you that he had a real shot at that flight."

" I think so what was stated capital as you know will only do our. Our story and layers. You know reciprocated beginning you'd figure how to pleasures. It was a blank. Terms. You kind of trying to beat you today you know I want you guys could I take my head out. Is what he can do they get China and India carried I agents didn't they veto it as Baghdad you know we need we need fired."

" And that."

" What he's got his leg after the great early in got to control the guys -- pretty aggressive. Out of privilege card numbers."

" That was senator into the -- that could -- a decade as -- words Portland after song and it won't -- aren't really you know again it's murky."

" Curves. So usually he got a lot you know allowed -- forward."

" Thought I got last week we interviewed. Under a joint call your boss but certainly upper management at the the do we see we spoke with -- and it's always something to say you're actually a little bit now around the -- a major transformation necessarily. But that you've actually incorporated in this in this training camp for Mike Brown -- weightlifting and as I understand it's an explosion -- for lower body strength. Let me ask you whose ideal was that to incorporate weightlifting this time around."

" I the united trying to put -- away. Pretty consistently over the last couple years. And what -- to give it it says so much -- trading just. It's martial -- huge it's theoretically kick boxing boxing thing. I know it's like there's really improve their. -- some restraint. Conditioning electric guns aren't already really strong so. I do want to put a little more guys on this one so. I am okay. I divided. It'll -- god created a week. They -- total idiot list so unique. Explosive live in my legs goalie and it does it's likable -- here but he -- And I don't get help me. To recover faster because I'm bigger and I am you know to hear more calories and stuff like dad's side -- there's there's destruction there --"

" Do in my judgment -- I do greater very very very strong come in my judgment though I think for. 45 merger typically a little bit smaller I mean you curfew tribute and you can disagree and I think it's the -- and -- the freedom Mike Brown. But do you believe that now with the results are getting those witnessing this is something you'll continue to do."

" I think I think after you know it as a progression in the end my career you know I've always been able to do they went. Quit being you know real Stanley. Explosives and strong. But I would -- an extremely technical and and I really felt like they're in need as to why might it have game so we'll get out of that I was still going to continue."

" You ought to get about six there's our sort of split."

" What I get bigger and stronger just like all the rest athletes out there so it's -- you know pursue it very strong advance this silly game I think it's it's something going to help me. You know seriously bad Ortiz and supervised entity buys it if I wanted 130 -- I think it's really important so obviously with this."

" Any chance the Detroit will -- the cut."

" You know I don't encourage you bush and so this I would say."

" You know at the end it right it's over and -- that it makes it's teetering. And then I'll wake up 56."

" Working out. You know -- three. If it'd have fluctuate quite good from 51 to 69 in the day so that's -- enough struck ideology and eat well -- You need maybe Arctic thirty -- I keep trying to live."

" Tell us about what they are noticed in your Twitter pictures. And and it will I didn't expect this at all war or the Diaz Brothers and even training with -- but the satisfied and if so what what and why why bring them into your care and it was a very talented but -- them."

" You know it that Israel -- stop -- mini and just started this game. You know six years ago we -- occasionally. Party --"

" Yesterday at age you know they're not they're not really gets when he says that it's called Dick Haley a chain of our name out bigot -- look. And actually. Justin -- is got a big fight Germany Canada. For the USC. -- EN eight. -- parallels or congress. And intense story and it it was getting pretty good natured colleague I can relate -- here on the east fighting years -- you're gonna get Q school is 85 starters go. You know this isn't close. Structurally I elder fighters in Stiller on good terms so terms you know it's like where. We're trained together. That was just got a scoring in Indians are."

" frank -- today. You today's session with the with the UC fight club fans -- on YouTube video on it and I watched and he said something was very very clumsy as you know -- treat her and comes in about you on the very complementary -- very complimentary of your skills -- about himself that the two -- he had early and you see you're against Pete Williams and -- to -- That it it it affected him it it almost sent him back because he he wasn't -- to the fire necessarily and he sort of likened himself in some ways to you that you're burning through the 145 -- and -- and intelligence that might run seriously but on the that it was a bit of a wakeup call do you agree with -- assessment of that."

" Yeah I don't think so you know I'd -- get. You know I heard of ground with what conditions it is -- got the better -- but. I think Padilla. You know the caliber of fighter after brown has been doing. -- well as far as. You know it is big shots bill Herm I think he handled it that shot when I. Yeah they -- backwards you know elegant as they get -- historian and I think -- is doing is buying a little bit with the what's the fired up until that point shelves. I just barely got."

" those and regulate those with a punch before it and that's really only dearly beginning. I think again it is very likely be apathetic it's nice to be innocent pop back -- and."

" I'm actually in the clear and so her."

" I think gaps. I mean I've -- this -- in just started scaling and I'm not sure of its ears of the same thing."

" They're really get a break because it into a car accident -- so. -- I think I've I've been chain hard throughout and number -- what."

" A projection it's simply do you believe -- stronger than -- then Mike Brown. Would you we do we usually in the first timer he's destroy them now or both."

" You know I can illustrate this weird that they -- there role is -- can do it better. It unedited edit strengthened it and her listen absolutely -- generally. Quite allowed illustrating again."

" And it hit it different kind of strength I would say maybe he's more powerful. And hopefully -- that person needed to build it bigger. Artistry it's good to an end you know in the end. Strength I think you know I never thought -- what they --"

" And -- just joining us for speaking with former WEC featherweight champion. Derive the California just -- irrelevant play devil's advocate here for just the second I don't bushel -- but I do want to ask this is -- limit cross and I get this email from real time. Com and they say to me well maybe. That you were doing really well on the -- brown before he got caught and he did what and you've been acknowledged it was a mistake but some have suggested that it's a stylistic mistake that they're not sure you're able to correct you -- have been. Very successful being. Intuitive and an improvisational. During the noble fight and brown is in the kind of guy you can do that -- how -- How would you assess those claims."

" Yeah well I mean that you've of the gate there's all sorts it paid out there and that it may be right you know there's. You know there's not really."

" You know thinking. Too much in the fight at least not regularly ever turns."

" You know lineage it's it's confident and Craig Jim let's say I can drag you know how once -- getting literally not getting here."

" What an -- being hated it and let the audience how I just like styled it."

" You know I've won a lot of -- Baghdad yeah don't live by the sword that is -- and I would really want to get that asks -- that."

" You you know start thinking about fighting the elder wanted to buy it they don't like to watch."

" Yeah. Okay fair enough there are a couple fights in the scored a want to get your predictions at end of for an end one of them I should both of them -- or in your weight class -- to me if you would give me your prediction for the Jose -- cub Swanson funny how do you think that's going to play out."

" And -- from the from the last couple of."

" The -- no doubt that you actually stretches."

" I was but -- facial and this -- Chalmers got yet I don't know that. A couple of guys definitely -- dead."

" Because hardly anything because it didn't work at a lot of CNN so I'm feeling -- gave a great bit of war."

" And would get the slightest doubt that -- it does seem to because. -- I have fighting for a while but you know lively go either way it did you'd buy what you -- we have guys. I would say."

" Because because. So that the size advantage there --"

" I had an advantage you advantage Indianapolis. He would get knocked down Daria I got the Internet."

" Vanilla by the Cardenas an opponent you have faced before urgent poverty and on Josh Gretzky just crispy on the affair re very in my view on hailed -- young -- career ahead of him. How do you -- do you perceive as part happening and it and it's -- loses is at the end of his career."

" Yeah."

" You know I would say. And they get their opinion of course. If you will blocking better though it -- getting. It'll sit back and think about that would need -- I would -- aviator who went back and it's not easy site thank you that I he really feels I think. You're seeing here is it crazy -- of the day."

" Like like a Krispy."

" They could see this is. Another one of those guys that usually wakes up he's got a a powerful politician in these hungry you'll -- a lot of fun together. Extremely mentally strong guys. He's a leader of the hard guys to fight you can see it did you get how good how -- dice. Do you all might indicate in his head believe they don't get EM how. We'll get all the -- it -- sitting all of -- and how those doubts that are working here they need the I think. Chris you're the guy there. The belief it can't be good evidence college -- this video clip again."

" Okay old WEC forty was she before you today and your last question for you before we go Iran have on your end the -- to take place in Sacramento you are Sacramento's under no kidding I guess -- like him better description. To talk to me about from Sacramento. We're -- Joshua has left. Open a dry dry is the they're. None no worries. Last question before you go what is the east. Buzz like in Sacramento are our folks really aware and ever popular figure -- folks. They take you like Chicago takes oil or Lonsky what is the buzz there about your site."

" I have they'll be enough to either block it -- very but yet people are really supporters on here. In Canada. You know all I got the preview days. -- negotiation or wherever they -- I do love it could be you know -- stay out of a crowd behind me."

" Didn't you know dark arena has sold out."

" I don't believe it's cool yeah we've done that after a week left here I'm. Yeah I know they're they're companies have been veered. They have the neat it'll be pretty good."
