1
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,709
Have you ever felt bad

2
00:01:29,710 --> 00:01:32,045
about hurting anybody?

3
00:01:32,046 --> 00:01:34,339
I broke a guy's orbital bone.

4
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:36,132
He insulted me a lot
before the fight,

5
00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:38,428
and I shattered
his face pretty good.

6
00:01:40,971 --> 00:01:42,556
His confidence was never the same,

7
00:01:42,557 --> 00:01:44,642
but if they could do
it to me, they would.

8
00:01:46,936 --> 00:01:49,812
One thing I do, I pray for my
opponents before the fight.

9
00:01:49,813 --> 00:01:51,648
What we do for a living
is a little taboo.

10
00:01:51,649 --> 00:01:53,024
There's not many
who have the courage

11
00:01:53,025 --> 00:01:55,277
to go in there and
be so vulnerable,

12
00:01:55,278 --> 00:01:57,446
knocked unconscious in front
of all your friends and family,

13
00:01:57,447 --> 00:01:59,739
your teacher seeing your
eyes roll back in your head.

14
00:01:59,740 --> 00:02:01,908
No one wants to get embarrassed
in front of millions of people.

15
00:02:01,909 --> 00:02:03,368
So we train

16
00:02:03,369 --> 00:02:05,203
to do the things that
no one wants to do.

17
00:02:05,204 --> 00:02:07,415
That's what makes great fighters.

18
00:03:47,473 --> 00:03:49,015
Over the past decade,

19
00:03:49,016 --> 00:03:51,309
mixed martial arts has
become one of the world's

20
00:03:51,310 --> 00:03:53,270
fastest-growing sports.

21
00:03:57,650 --> 00:04:00,569
What began as a gathering of
variously trained fighters

22
00:04:00,570 --> 00:04:03,905
competing for the right to
claim their technique as supreme

23
00:04:03,906 --> 00:04:06,324
has become the household
name known today

24
00:04:06,325 --> 00:04:08,285
as simply MMA.

25
00:04:11,497 --> 00:04:13,122
Big on top.

26
00:04:13,123 --> 00:04:15,500
Most of the sport's
growth in popularity

27
00:04:15,501 --> 00:04:18,378
is due to its
largest organization,

28
00:04:18,379 --> 00:04:19,922
the UFC.

29
00:04:27,971 --> 00:04:30,557
One of the most anticipated
fights in UFC history

30
00:04:30,558 --> 00:04:33,226
took place in April 2012

31
00:04:33,227 --> 00:04:37,355
when two former teammates faced
each other in the Octagon.

32
00:04:37,356 --> 00:04:40,275
Months earlier, the older
fighter, Rashad Evans,

33
00:04:40,276 --> 00:04:43,861
was a mentor to his friend
and rising star Jon Jones.

34
00:04:43,862 --> 00:04:46,072
But on that day,
the Las Vegas arena

35
00:04:46,073 --> 00:04:48,032
was brimming with anticipation

36
00:04:48,033 --> 00:04:51,160
for the two former
friends to exchange blows.

37
00:04:51,161 --> 00:04:52,870
Kept Rampage at distance.

38
00:04:52,871 --> 00:04:54,247
Oh, big kick...

39
00:04:54,248 --> 00:04:55,331
Unable to control his fury,

40
00:04:55,332 --> 00:04:57,709
Rashad made crucial errors.

41
00:04:57,710 --> 00:04:59,294
Jones remained composed,

42
00:04:59,295 --> 00:05:00,837
unleashing strategic attacks.

43
00:05:00,838 --> 00:05:02,255
Just threw Rashad.

44
00:05:02,256 --> 00:05:04,716
Oh, he tagged him.

45
00:05:04,717 --> 00:05:06,342
He would love
to finish this fight.

46
00:05:06,343 --> 00:05:08,136
Has it 49-46,

47
00:05:08,137 --> 00:05:10,680
and Richard Bertrand
scores the contest 50-45...

48
00:05:10,681 --> 00:05:11,807
Five rounds later,

49
00:05:11,808 --> 00:05:13,308
Jones is declared the winner,

50
00:05:13,309 --> 00:05:15,310
retaining his title as
the light heavyweight

51
00:05:15,311 --> 00:05:16,478
champion of the world.

52
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:20,231
The undisputed UFC

53
00:05:20,232 --> 00:05:23,777
light heavyweight
champion of the world.

54
00:05:23,778 --> 00:05:25,862
The UFC has
found its new superstar.

55
00:05:25,863 --> 00:05:28,866
Bones Jones!

56
00:05:32,286 --> 00:05:33,620
Rashad left New Mexico

57
00:05:33,621 --> 00:05:35,580
after feeling betrayed
by his former team

58
00:05:35,581 --> 00:05:37,791
at Jackson's Gym.

59
00:05:37,792 --> 00:05:39,542
He's made a new home
base in Florida,

60
00:05:39,543 --> 00:05:42,378
where he lives with
his girlfriend Beans.

61
00:05:42,379 --> 00:05:45,131
After losing another
fight in a split decision,

62
00:05:45,132 --> 00:05:47,425
Rashad suffered a
severe knee injury

63
00:05:47,426 --> 00:05:48,593
that put his career on hold

64
00:05:48,594 --> 00:05:50,470
for at least a year.

65
00:05:50,471 --> 00:05:53,181
The climb back up is
the hardest in many ways,

66
00:05:53,182 --> 00:05:56,100
but I'm right there,
right there again.

67
00:05:56,101 --> 00:05:58,102
And

68
00:05:58,103 --> 00:05:59,480
I hurt myself.

69
00:06:11,575 --> 00:06:13,951
Do you have some on my knuckle?

70
00:06:13,952 --> 00:06:16,078
It sounds like you walking up,

71
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:18,956
like you are trying to be sassy.

72
00:06:18,957 --> 00:06:20,792
He's just defending his house.

73
00:06:20,793 --> 00:06:23,002
He's checking you guys out
like you are checking him out.

74
00:06:23,003 --> 00:06:25,505
Wow.

75
00:06:25,506 --> 00:06:27,590
Rashad's children
from his second marriage

76
00:06:27,591 --> 00:06:29,634
visit him once a month.

77
00:06:29,635 --> 00:06:32,345
They miss
their father and it shows.

78
00:06:32,346 --> 00:06:33,763
On a pleasant afternoon like this,

79
00:06:33,764 --> 00:06:37,433
the family enjoys
their time together.

80
00:06:37,434 --> 00:06:38,643
What was your experience like

81
00:06:38,644 --> 00:06:40,729
fighting Jon Jones?

82
00:06:40,730 --> 00:06:42,605
I felt mentally drained

83
00:06:42,606 --> 00:06:44,399
going into that fight.

84
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,359
There's a big, huge story behind

85
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,529
the whole me and Jon Jones
relationship,

86
00:06:49,530 --> 00:06:51,447
and furthermore the relationship,

87
00:06:51,448 --> 00:06:53,533
which was fractured
because of the fight,

88
00:06:53,534 --> 00:06:55,535
which was Jackson's Gym.

89
00:06:55,536 --> 00:06:57,829
Greg Jackson was
my longtime coach,

90
00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:59,497
and I had some of my best fights

91
00:06:59,498 --> 00:07:01,708
training under them.

92
00:07:01,709 --> 00:07:04,502
And I felt like they sold me out.

93
00:07:04,503 --> 00:07:08,130
At that point,
I'm just like... like,

94
00:07:08,131 --> 00:07:11,259
"What happened?"

95
00:07:11,260 --> 00:07:15,513
And it's weird
because you never know

96
00:07:15,514 --> 00:07:17,724
at that point in which

97
00:07:17,725 --> 00:07:20,268
you've lost that step.

98
00:07:20,269 --> 00:07:21,519
And I'm thinking to myself like,

99
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,562
"Did I,

100
00:07:22,563 --> 00:07:24,689
"did I lose my shit?

101
00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:25,649
"Where did my shit go?"

102
00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:26,691
You know what I'm saying?

103
00:07:26,692 --> 00:07:27,776
Like "I can't hit the button.

104
00:07:27,777 --> 00:07:30,278
"I can't find that thing."

105
00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:33,615
It was a lot of
soul-searching, a lot of

106
00:07:33,616 --> 00:07:35,617
why I started to fight.

107
00:07:35,618 --> 00:07:37,911
What it means to fight.

108
00:07:37,912 --> 00:07:39,495
Keep your knee right
there, right there, right there.

109
00:07:39,496 --> 00:07:41,289
Good.

110
00:07:41,290 --> 00:07:42,874
Three times a week,

111
00:07:42,875 --> 00:07:44,667
Rashad does rehab to
strengthen his healing knee.

112
00:07:44,668 --> 00:07:46,461
One, that's it.

113
00:07:46,462 --> 00:07:47,503
Your muscle's not even shaking.

114
00:07:47,504 --> 00:07:48,504
That's great.

115
00:07:48,505 --> 00:07:50,006
Two.

116
00:07:50,007 --> 00:07:51,758
Now it's starting to shake.
I spoke too soon.

117
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:53,509
His injury changes everything.

118
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:55,052
Does he have the ability
to stand on his leg,

119
00:07:55,053 --> 00:07:56,721
push off as hard as he wants,

120
00:07:56,722 --> 00:07:59,849
and not have to worry about
it collapsing or falling?

121
00:07:59,850 --> 00:08:01,977
It's okay. No big deal.

122
00:08:01,978 --> 00:08:04,020
Mentally speaking,
that period of time

123
00:08:04,021 --> 00:08:06,481
can take just as long
if not even longer

124
00:08:06,482 --> 00:08:09,484
to recover than just
the physical injury itself.

125
00:08:09,485 --> 00:08:10,526
For me, fighting

126
00:08:10,527 --> 00:08:12,153
is always overcoming.

127
00:08:12,154 --> 00:08:14,530
Always overcoming,
always overcoming.

128
00:08:14,531 --> 00:08:17,575
And now here I am

129
00:08:17,576 --> 00:08:20,620
on the road to come back,

130
00:08:20,621 --> 00:08:22,705
on the road to dominate

131
00:08:22,706 --> 00:08:23,873
and

132
00:08:23,874 --> 00:08:25,082
try to regain

133
00:08:25,083 --> 00:08:26,584
what was once mine,

134
00:08:26,585 --> 00:08:28,544
which is the UFC

135
00:08:28,545 --> 00:08:31,131
light heavyweight belt.

136
00:08:46,022 --> 00:08:48,649
He doesn't like me.

137
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:57,281
Okay, gear it up, guys.

138
00:08:57,282 --> 00:08:58,700
Get geared up.

139
00:08:58,701 --> 00:09:00,159
Since defeating Rashad Evans,

140
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,872
Jon Jones still remains champion.

141
00:09:03,873 --> 00:09:08,459
He is 27 years old and now
the UFC's biggest draw.

142
00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:11,587
Huge endorsements with
Reebok and Beats Headphones

143
00:09:11,588 --> 00:09:14,382
have made him a household name.

144
00:09:14,383 --> 00:09:15,884
International appearances take up

145
00:09:15,885 --> 00:09:18,678
a lot of the fighter's time.

146
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,681
Now, with his next fight
just five weeks away,

147
00:09:21,682 --> 00:09:23,933
the champ returns
to his training camp

148
00:09:23,934 --> 00:09:25,643
at the famous Jackson's Gym

149
00:09:25,644 --> 00:09:28,312
in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

150
00:09:28,313 --> 00:09:30,106
Me and Rashad Evans,
we were training partners.

151
00:09:30,107 --> 00:09:32,483
He was somebody who I
looked up to, growing up,

152
00:09:32,484 --> 00:09:34,027
and he was one of the main reasons

153
00:09:34,028 --> 00:09:36,572
why I came to Jackson's Gym.

154
00:09:38,824 --> 00:09:42,368
I was teaching 'em all these
cool, funky crazy techniques,

155
00:09:42,369 --> 00:09:43,912
and they were teaching
me some of their

156
00:09:43,913 --> 00:09:45,663
veteran techniques and stuff,

157
00:09:45,664 --> 00:09:48,083
and I think my passion allowed
me to outgrow those guys.

158
00:09:48,084 --> 00:09:49,208
I like that switch, Jon Jones.

159
00:09:49,209 --> 00:09:50,251
I saw it.

160
00:09:50,252 --> 00:09:51,961
They saw it pretty fast.

161
00:09:51,962 --> 00:09:53,755
Every week, I was getting
a little bit closer

162
00:09:53,756 --> 00:09:54,797
to beating them, and eventually

163
00:09:54,798 --> 00:09:56,299
I was beating them both.

164
00:10:00,804 --> 00:10:03,222
Rashad got injured, and the UFC

165
00:10:03,223 --> 00:10:05,850
offered me the opportunity
to fill in for him

166
00:10:05,851 --> 00:10:08,770
to compete for the next
available world championship,

167
00:10:08,771 --> 00:10:10,772
and obviously I took
the opportunity.

168
00:10:10,773 --> 00:10:12,732
He felt as if I should've

169
00:10:12,733 --> 00:10:14,525
waited for him to recover,

170
00:10:14,526 --> 00:10:16,111
but that's not really
the way the world works.

171
00:10:16,112 --> 00:10:17,904
I felt as if this was my time,

172
00:10:17,905 --> 00:10:19,321
my opportunity to be great.

173
00:10:19,322 --> 00:10:20,448
And I did.

174
00:10:20,449 --> 00:10:21,783
I won that world championship,

175
00:10:21,784 --> 00:10:23,451
really devastating fashion.

176
00:10:23,452 --> 00:10:25,161
Put some pressure
on him. That's all I wanna see.

177
00:10:25,162 --> 00:10:26,328
Close the distance, you win.

178
00:10:26,329 --> 00:10:27,872
He started his own team

179
00:10:27,873 --> 00:10:30,374
and challenged me for
the championship right away.

180
00:10:30,375 --> 00:10:32,251
And we beat him up pretty good.

181
00:10:32,252 --> 00:10:33,795
He badmouthed Greg Jackson;

182
00:10:33,796 --> 00:10:35,171
he badmouthed the whole program.

183
00:10:35,172 --> 00:10:37,132
Tried to twist
the story to the media

184
00:10:37,133 --> 00:10:39,383
and tell people that
I had betrayed him.

185
00:10:39,384 --> 00:10:41,970
And, really, I was just
a kid following my heart,

186
00:10:41,971 --> 00:10:43,889
following my dreams.

187
00:10:50,104 --> 00:10:52,105
You're still shaking
off Brazil a little bit.

188
00:10:52,106 --> 00:10:54,649
You can see that travel's
a little getting you,

189
00:10:54,650 --> 00:10:57,652
but that's doesn't mean nothing.

190
00:10:57,653 --> 00:10:59,362
Let's get you outta here, though.

191
00:11:01,031 --> 00:11:02,531
When you told your parents

192
00:11:02,532 --> 00:11:04,075
you were gonna become
a professional fighter,

193
00:11:04,076 --> 00:11:05,242
how did they react?

194
00:11:05,243 --> 00:11:06,410
They were not about it.

195
00:11:06,411 --> 00:11:08,245
My dad, being a pastor,

196
00:11:08,246 --> 00:11:10,665
he always wanted me
to go the route of

197
00:11:10,666 --> 00:11:11,874
a spiritual leader,

198
00:11:11,875 --> 00:11:13,876
and I never thought
that was for me.

199
00:11:13,877 --> 00:11:15,837
My mom thought that it
would change my character.

200
00:11:15,838 --> 00:11:18,255
She thought that I would
become a violent person

201
00:11:18,256 --> 00:11:21,425
or a person who didn't treat
people fairly or arrogant,

202
00:11:21,426 --> 00:11:23,511
but it's changed
my life in a positive way.

203
00:11:23,512 --> 00:11:25,721
It's given me a way
to provide for my family

204
00:11:25,722 --> 00:11:27,389
and to share myself
with the world,

205
00:11:27,390 --> 00:11:28,975
so now they realize
that it's the best thing

206
00:11:28,976 --> 00:11:30,019
that ever happened to me.

207
00:11:40,904 --> 00:11:42,197
This is good.

208
00:11:42,198 --> 00:11:43,280
Yep.

209
00:11:43,281 --> 00:11:44,324
Take two.

210
00:11:47,244 --> 00:11:49,495
What are
the actual origins of MMA?

211
00:11:49,496 --> 00:11:50,913
Where did it come from?

212
00:11:50,914 --> 00:11:52,790
Originally it started

213
00:11:52,791 --> 00:11:55,001
I think it's
like 648 Before Christ.

214
00:11:55,002 --> 00:11:56,502
I looked it up one day because

215
00:11:56,503 --> 00:11:59,047
I had a real cool script about it.

216
00:11:59,048 --> 00:12:01,216
And it was in the first Olympics

217
00:12:01,217 --> 00:12:02,800
called Pankration.

218
00:12:02,801 --> 00:12:03,844
Pancrase!

219
00:12:06,471 --> 00:12:07,805
MMA's roots can be

220
00:12:07,806 --> 00:12:10,307
traced back to ancient Greece.

221
00:12:10,308 --> 00:12:12,351
A sporting event
known as Pankration

222
00:12:12,352 --> 00:12:15,730
determined who was
the ultimate combatant.

223
00:12:15,731 --> 00:12:18,399
Men faced off before
roaring crowds,

224
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,359
garnering the respect
of such figures

225
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,320
as Alexander the Great.

226
00:12:24,281 --> 00:12:26,741
Contestants had
the ability to submit

227
00:12:26,742 --> 00:12:29,577
by raising an index finger,

228
00:12:29,578 --> 00:12:33,789
similar to the tap-out
technique used in modern times.

229
00:12:33,790 --> 00:12:35,541
It was mixed martial
arts pretty much.

230
00:12:35,542 --> 00:12:37,960
Right there,
in the first Olympic sports.

231
00:12:37,961 --> 00:12:40,171
Back in the days, gladiators,

232
00:12:40,172 --> 00:12:41,881
they would have thousands
and thousands of people,

233
00:12:41,882 --> 00:12:43,258
and they're killing each other

234
00:12:43,259 --> 00:12:44,259
with swords and everything.

235
00:12:44,260 --> 00:12:45,301
There's something about two men

236
00:12:45,302 --> 00:12:46,468
that get inside of a cage

237
00:12:46,469 --> 00:12:48,096
and compete against each other

238
00:12:48,097 --> 00:12:50,265
that human nature loves to watch.

239
00:12:50,266 --> 00:12:51,557
Every human being,

240
00:12:51,558 --> 00:12:52,850
even my mother who's like a saint,

241
00:12:52,851 --> 00:12:54,685
she wouldn't hurt nobody,

242
00:12:54,686 --> 00:12:56,145
but I can still, even her,

243
00:12:56,146 --> 00:13:00,608
put her in a situation
of life or death

244
00:13:00,609 --> 00:13:03,069
or even for defending
someone that she love.

245
00:13:03,070 --> 00:13:04,486
She gonna have to fight.

246
00:13:04,487 --> 00:13:07,073
As a fighter, there's
nothing harder than MMA.

247
00:13:07,074 --> 00:13:08,157
You gotta do the wrestling.

248
00:13:08,158 --> 00:13:09,325
You gotta do the kickboxing.

249
00:13:09,326 --> 00:13:10,451
You gotta do the jiu-jitsu.

250
00:13:10,452 --> 00:13:12,287
We're like a Rubik's cube. MMA is.

251
00:13:12,288 --> 00:13:13,704
You gotta make sure
all the colors match

252
00:13:13,705 --> 00:13:15,124
at the same time to win the game.

253
00:13:16,750 --> 00:13:18,459
In Brazil,
the Gracie family perfected

254
00:13:18,460 --> 00:13:21,963
the ancient Japanese
martial art of jiu-jitsu,

255
00:13:21,964 --> 00:13:24,882
molding it into
a brand all their own.

256
00:13:24,883 --> 00:13:26,634
This Brazilian
jiu-jitsu would become

257
00:13:26,635 --> 00:13:30,387
one of the key principles of
today's mixed martial arts.

258
00:13:30,388 --> 00:13:33,141
In 1914 Mitsuyo Maeda,

259
00:13:33,142 --> 00:13:34,976
a jiu-jitsu instructor from Japan,

260
00:13:34,977 --> 00:13:36,185
came to Brazil as an aide

261
00:13:36,186 --> 00:13:38,020
to the Japanese
immigration colony.

262
00:13:38,021 --> 00:13:40,189
My grandfather was a very
influential man at the time,

263
00:13:40,190 --> 00:13:42,191
helped the Japanese
gentleman get settled.

264
00:13:42,192 --> 00:13:43,734
So to show his gratitude,

265
00:13:43,735 --> 00:13:45,778
he offered to teach
jiu-jitsu to my uncle Carlos,

266
00:13:45,779 --> 00:13:48,072
who at the time was 13 years old.

267
00:13:48,073 --> 00:13:49,448
My father Helio Gracie

268
00:13:49,449 --> 00:13:50,950
was physically very frail.

269
00:13:50,951 --> 00:13:52,243
Nobody knew exactly why.

270
00:13:52,244 --> 00:13:53,995
And what my dad soon realized

271
00:13:53,996 --> 00:13:57,248
is that the techniques he had
spent a few years memorizing

272
00:13:57,249 --> 00:13:59,000
by watching his brothers practice

273
00:13:59,001 --> 00:14:00,835
require a certain amount
of physical ability

274
00:14:00,836 --> 00:14:02,044
and strength and speed,

275
00:14:02,045 --> 00:14:03,504
which he did not have.

276
00:14:03,505 --> 00:14:04,839
So through trial and error,

277
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,757
he started modifying
those concepts

278
00:14:06,758 --> 00:14:08,509
of the traditional
Japanese jiu-jitsu

279
00:14:08,510 --> 00:14:10,052
that he had observed

280
00:14:10,053 --> 00:14:11,512
so that he could become proficient

281
00:14:11,513 --> 00:14:13,430
in spite of his frail body.

282
00:14:13,431 --> 00:14:15,599
And ultimately that was
the birth of Gracie jiu-jitsu,

283
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,143
Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

284
00:14:17,144 --> 00:14:18,769
If you're gonna rely on strikes,

285
00:14:18,770 --> 00:14:21,022
if he's 50 pounds
heavier than you,

286
00:14:21,023 --> 00:14:22,606
there's a very good chance

287
00:14:22,607 --> 00:14:24,817
that that guy can throw
a punch and knock you out.

288
00:14:24,818 --> 00:14:26,902
So in jiu-jitsu,
we take that equation

289
00:14:26,903 --> 00:14:28,363
out of the game.

290
00:14:28,364 --> 00:14:31,115
The concept is to create
positions of leverage

291
00:14:31,116 --> 00:14:33,117
that enable a weaker person

292
00:14:33,118 --> 00:14:34,576
to become highly proficient

293
00:14:34,577 --> 00:14:36,329
even against somebody
who's much bigger,

294
00:14:36,330 --> 00:14:37,830
much heavier, much stronger,

295
00:14:37,831 --> 00:14:40,041
because you're not relying
on speed and strength.

296
00:14:40,042 --> 00:14:42,877
My first
view of a competitive match-up

297
00:14:42,878 --> 00:14:45,754
between two guys that
were allowed to do more

298
00:14:45,755 --> 00:14:47,965
than just punch with their hands

299
00:14:47,966 --> 00:14:49,258
or kick with their feet

300
00:14:49,259 --> 00:14:50,843
was when I was with the Gracies,

301
00:14:50,844 --> 00:14:53,012
when they were showing me
fights that they had done

302
00:14:53,013 --> 00:14:56,099
or other people had competed in
from Brazil.

303
00:14:59,895 --> 00:15:02,188
The UFC was something
that was developed by me

304
00:15:02,189 --> 00:15:03,814
when I came to the United States

305
00:15:03,815 --> 00:15:06,775
with the objective of sharing
the knowledge of jiu-jitsu

306
00:15:06,776 --> 00:15:08,277
with the rest of the world.

307
00:15:08,278 --> 00:15:09,945
I came up with a concept
to develop a tournament

308
00:15:09,946 --> 00:15:12,114
between different
styles of martial arts.

309
00:15:12,115 --> 00:15:13,949
A boxer fighting a grappler.

310
00:15:13,950 --> 00:15:15,660
A jiu-jitsu man fighting
a taekwondo guy.

311
00:15:17,037 --> 00:15:18,829
I specifically did
not want a boxing ring

312
00:15:18,830 --> 00:15:20,206
because once they start
getting beat up,

313
00:15:20,207 --> 00:15:22,041
they slip through
the ropes and get away.

314
00:15:22,042 --> 00:15:24,168
In fact, John Milius, who was
a student of mine at the time,

315
00:15:24,169 --> 00:15:27,004
did Conan the Barbarian, a
whole bunch of big, huge movies,

316
00:15:27,005 --> 00:15:28,714
John and I used
to have discussions on

317
00:15:28,715 --> 00:15:30,216
how should we make that ring

318
00:15:30,217 --> 00:15:31,842
so the guys would not get away.

319
00:15:31,843 --> 00:15:33,719
And we discuss having
a moat with alligators,

320
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,304
so if the guy tried to get away

321
00:15:35,305 --> 00:15:37,056
he would be eaten up by
alligators and stuff like that.

322
00:15:37,057 --> 00:15:39,641
Eventually, we settled for
what the Octagon is today.

323
00:15:39,642 --> 00:15:42,019
One of my students had actually

324
00:15:42,020 --> 00:15:43,479
picked up a flyer,

325
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,440
and it said no holds barred on it.

326
00:15:45,441 --> 00:15:47,443
And when I looked at it,
I just thought, well...

327
00:15:49,069 --> 00:15:51,653
In those days,
it was pro wrestling.

328
00:15:51,654 --> 00:15:53,030
You look at no holds barred,

329
00:15:53,031 --> 00:15:54,615
it was Hulk Hogan.

330
00:15:54,616 --> 00:15:56,409
When they first brought
the UFC on the scene,

331
00:15:56,410 --> 00:15:59,245
it was billed as the fact
that somebody could die.

332
00:15:59,246 --> 00:16:00,996
They were creating
that sensationalism.

333
00:16:00,997 --> 00:16:03,582
I go, "Hey, it says no rules.

334
00:16:03,583 --> 00:16:04,875
"Pull hair?

335
00:16:04,876 --> 00:16:06,043
"Groin shot?"

336
00:16:06,044 --> 00:16:07,336
He says, "Yeah, everything's good.

337
00:16:07,337 --> 00:16:08,712
"Only thing you can't do is bite.

338
00:16:08,713 --> 00:16:09,964
"Bare knuckle."

339
00:16:09,965 --> 00:16:11,466
I wanna show to the world

340
00:16:11,467 --> 00:16:13,259
that if you throw
a punch at somebody's face,

341
00:16:13,260 --> 00:16:15,261
it's very likely gonna
break your fingers.

342
00:16:15,262 --> 00:16:17,972
Versus the illusion that we
see sometimes in the movies

343
00:16:17,973 --> 00:16:19,681
where one guy walks in
and chops everybody up

344
00:16:19,682 --> 00:16:21,476
and 50 people drop dead.

345
00:16:21,477 --> 00:16:23,227
That's not reality.

346
00:16:23,228 --> 00:16:24,312
Eight of the
deadliest fighters in the world

347
00:16:24,313 --> 00:16:25,896
will meet in a no-holds-barred...

348
00:16:25,897 --> 00:16:27,815
In 1993, the first Ultimate

349
00:16:27,816 --> 00:16:30,151
Fighting Championship commenced.

350
00:16:30,152 --> 00:16:32,611
I loved it. It was very realistic.

351
00:16:32,612 --> 00:16:35,239
Where back then,
there were a lot of

352
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,200
hocus-pocus type of martial arts,

353
00:16:38,201 --> 00:16:41,829
it showed everybody what
techniques actually work

354
00:16:41,830 --> 00:16:44,873
in a real situation
and what techniques don't.

355
00:16:44,874 --> 00:16:47,543
That was
the first time that I really saw

356
00:16:47,544 --> 00:16:50,879
martial arts go out and do
what they say they could do

357
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,215
and that was have a little guy
beat a big guy.

358
00:16:53,216 --> 00:16:55,259
Gerard Gordeau versus Teila Tuli.

359
00:16:55,260 --> 00:16:57,094
That was as violent as it gets.

360
00:16:57,095 --> 00:17:01,056
Gordeau kicks Tuli in the face
with the shin,

361
00:17:01,057 --> 00:17:03,725
and his tooth flies and
they call off the fight.

362
00:17:03,726 --> 00:17:05,978
It lasted like 30 seconds or so.

363
00:17:05,979 --> 00:17:08,314
When I saw that
a little guy like Royce Gracie

364
00:17:08,315 --> 00:17:12,026
beating up the bigger and
more intimidating guy,

365
00:17:12,027 --> 00:17:14,529
I felt very inspired because
they make me remember

366
00:17:14,530 --> 00:17:16,030
my childhood when I went at school

367
00:17:16,031 --> 00:17:17,072
and got bullied.

368
00:17:17,073 --> 00:17:18,824
So right away, I knew

369
00:17:18,825 --> 00:17:21,743
I wanted to do this and I
wanted to be world champion.

370
00:17:21,744 --> 00:17:23,037
The first pay-per-view did

371
00:17:23,038 --> 00:17:24,913
like over 350,000
pay-per-view buys

372
00:17:24,914 --> 00:17:27,333
on UFC 1
and just grew and got bigger.

373
00:17:27,334 --> 00:17:28,709
They didn't realize
the sport that they had

374
00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:30,752
intrigued fans to watch.

375
00:17:30,753 --> 00:17:33,465
Thank you very
much for watching the first...

376
00:17:41,764 --> 00:17:43,182
Michael Guymon has dedicated

377
00:17:43,183 --> 00:17:46,394
his entire life to MMA.

378
00:17:46,395 --> 00:17:48,896
Born and raised in
Orange County, California,

379
00:17:48,897 --> 00:17:50,231
he is 39 years old

380
00:17:50,232 --> 00:17:53,609
and has fought
22 professional fights.

381
00:17:53,610 --> 00:17:56,028
He never achieved stardom.

382
00:17:56,029 --> 00:17:57,321
Throughout most of his career,

383
00:17:57,322 --> 00:17:59,114
Michael has struggled
with depression

384
00:17:59,115 --> 00:18:01,492
and thoughts of suicide.

385
00:18:01,493 --> 00:18:04,204
Yeah, I need to...

386
00:18:07,374 --> 00:18:09,041
These refilled or filled.

387
00:18:09,042 --> 00:18:10,459
Okay.

388
00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:11,586
And, Michael, can you
fill your address

389
00:18:11,587 --> 00:18:12,962
for me on that one?

390
00:18:14,881 --> 00:18:16,048
What was birthday, also?

391
00:18:16,049 --> 00:18:18,884
9/17/74.

392
00:18:18,885 --> 00:18:21,470
Since we've got him on medicine,

393
00:18:21,471 --> 00:18:24,848
it's kinda flatlined
him in the sense of

394
00:18:24,849 --> 00:18:26,308
he doesn't

395
00:18:26,309 --> 00:18:28,894
like think of just
picking up a gun

396
00:18:28,895 --> 00:18:31,021
and shooting himself
or driving off a cliff.

397
00:18:31,022 --> 00:18:32,106
I think it's more of just like,

398
00:18:32,107 --> 00:18:34,233
"I'm okay if I die."

399
00:18:34,234 --> 00:18:35,734
And he says that occasionally,

400
00:18:35,735 --> 00:18:37,069
like "I'm okay if I die."

401
00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:38,237
So I know that that part

402
00:18:38,238 --> 00:18:39,821
of the depression is still there.

403
00:18:39,822 --> 00:18:41,198
I worried about him.

404
00:18:41,199 --> 00:18:43,325
I don't want him to
do anything drastic,

405
00:18:43,326 --> 00:18:46,287
and I worried about all
the injuries he suffer

406
00:18:46,288 --> 00:18:49,123
when he was fighting,

407
00:18:49,124 --> 00:18:52,084
because he had very
serious broken bones

408
00:18:52,085 --> 00:18:57,381
in all his face and
his jaw and everything.

409
00:18:57,382 --> 00:18:58,715
He got knocked out,

410
00:18:58,716 --> 00:19:00,884
and he hit the ground.

411
00:19:00,885 --> 00:19:03,720
And you can clearly
see that he was out.

412
00:19:03,721 --> 00:19:05,681
And the ref was coming in to stop

413
00:19:05,682 --> 00:19:07,308
and do this.

414
00:19:07,309 --> 00:19:11,061
And the guy came down and
hit him one more time.

415
00:19:11,062 --> 00:19:13,355
And the guy gave 110%

416
00:19:13,356 --> 00:19:15,190
and just shattered his face.

417
00:19:15,191 --> 00:19:17,526
I broke my orbital, my eye socket,

418
00:19:17,527 --> 00:19:19,403
my cheekbone, my jaw.

419
00:19:19,404 --> 00:19:22,030
I remember
on the way to the hospital,

420
00:19:22,031 --> 00:19:23,449
all of a sudden
I see this pink fluid

421
00:19:23,450 --> 00:19:25,493
coming out of my nose,
and I'm like "Ah,

422
00:19:25,494 --> 00:19:26,702
"what the hell?"

423
00:19:26,703 --> 00:19:28,203
And it ended up being brain fluid.

424
00:19:28,204 --> 00:19:30,331
The guy gets knocked out,
he gets carted off.

425
00:19:30,332 --> 00:19:32,791
You don't see him the next week,
what he's like.

426
00:19:32,792 --> 00:19:34,293
If you saw me the next day,

427
00:19:34,294 --> 00:19:36,044
you would never
have recognized me.

428
00:19:36,045 --> 00:19:37,879
It's not a game.

429
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,381
Following his recent injuries

430
00:19:39,382 --> 00:19:40,799
sustained in the cage,

431
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,260
Joker has been unable to compete.

432
00:19:43,261 --> 00:19:46,138
This has led to a multitude
of financial problems

433
00:19:46,139 --> 00:19:49,266
and uncertainty over the
future of his business venture:

434
00:19:49,267 --> 00:19:50,518
his gym.

435
00:19:50,519 --> 00:19:52,603
Stress for me is,

436
00:19:52,604 --> 00:19:54,438
it's going through the roof,

437
00:19:54,439 --> 00:19:57,358
and I'm trying to be, like, uh...

438
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,236
I'm trying to be as

439
00:20:01,237 --> 00:20:03,572
positive as possible
on the outside.

440
00:20:03,573 --> 00:20:04,616
Inside,

441
00:20:06,535 --> 00:20:08,327
inside

442
00:20:08,328 --> 00:20:10,287
sucks.

443
00:20:10,288 --> 00:20:12,373
Am I gonna be able
to keep the gym?

444
00:20:12,374 --> 00:20:13,374
How am I gonna make money

445
00:20:13,375 --> 00:20:15,376
if I can't keep the gym?

446
00:20:15,377 --> 00:20:16,669
Not being able to fight,

447
00:20:16,670 --> 00:20:18,295
I mean I am able to fight.

448
00:20:18,296 --> 00:20:19,672
It's just I'd have
to force my body

449
00:20:19,673 --> 00:20:21,382
through all that shit again,

450
00:20:21,383 --> 00:20:23,051
which I don't wanna do.

451
00:20:26,221 --> 00:20:28,430
For years,
unsanctioned amateur fights

452
00:20:28,431 --> 00:20:32,393
have taken place on California's
Indian reservations.

453
00:20:32,394 --> 00:20:35,270
This is how many of the
fighters today got their start,

454
00:20:35,271 --> 00:20:37,524
Joker among them.

455
00:20:39,192 --> 00:20:42,737
Today he leads his student Luke
along the same path

456
00:20:42,738 --> 00:20:44,405
at this small amateur venue

457
00:20:44,406 --> 00:20:46,198
miles away from the city.

458
00:20:46,199 --> 00:20:47,658
Luke's trying to build his way up,

459
00:20:47,659 --> 00:20:49,117
and this is the way to do it.

460
00:20:49,118 --> 00:20:50,452
Build up your record here,

461
00:20:50,453 --> 00:20:52,454
and then try and get
into bigger shows.

462
00:20:52,455 --> 00:20:54,790
He's the new breed.

463
00:20:54,791 --> 00:20:56,542
Future, right here.

464
00:20:56,543 --> 00:20:57,711
The past, right here.

465
00:21:00,547 --> 00:21:02,005
When you hit pads,

466
00:21:02,006 --> 00:21:03,257
it's not gonna be like
that when you're fighting.

467
00:21:03,258 --> 00:21:04,800
They're gonna be throwing at you.

468
00:21:04,801 --> 00:21:06,719
It's like Matrix;
everything slows down.

469
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,053
Aw, shit, he's hurt!

470
00:21:08,054 --> 00:21:09,764
Hold his head.

471
00:21:09,765 --> 00:21:11,348
I want you hold him
so he don't move.

472
00:21:11,349 --> 00:21:12,516
Chris, come here.

473
00:21:12,517 --> 00:21:13,726
His teeth.

474
00:21:13,727 --> 00:21:15,227
Put your head back, bro.

475
00:21:15,228 --> 00:21:17,896
Gonna stitch his mouth?

476
00:21:17,897 --> 00:21:19,856
I just had surgery.
I don't wanna watch that.

477
00:21:19,857 --> 00:21:21,983
Movement, movement, movement!

478
00:21:21,984 --> 00:21:23,445
Make him commit, make 'em pay.

479
00:21:34,997 --> 00:21:36,373
To my left,

480
00:21:36,374 --> 00:21:38,709
from Joker MMA

481
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:40,837
is Luke Adams!

482
00:21:46,175 --> 00:21:47,259
Come on, Luke!

483
00:21:47,260 --> 00:21:48,511
Yeah!

484
00:21:52,307 --> 00:21:53,850
Yeah!

485
00:21:55,477 --> 00:21:56,727
Get up!

486
00:21:56,728 --> 00:21:57,813
Get up!

487
00:22:05,987 --> 00:22:07,697
Oh, my God.

488
00:22:09,073 --> 00:22:10,157
Give me a thumbs-up.

489
00:22:10,158 --> 00:22:11,533
Give me a thumbs-up, coach.

490
00:22:11,534 --> 00:22:12,660
Wow.

491
00:22:12,661 --> 00:22:14,370
Yeah!

492
00:22:26,132 --> 00:22:27,924
Ranked number six in the world,

493
00:22:27,925 --> 00:22:32,929
34-year-old Sara McMann
is an active UFC fighter.

494
00:22:32,930 --> 00:22:34,348
Prior to joining the league,

495
00:22:34,349 --> 00:22:37,351
Sara was a wrestler on
the U.S. Olympic team.

496
00:22:37,352 --> 00:22:39,311
She became
the first American woman

497
00:22:39,312 --> 00:22:42,939
to win a silver medal
at the 2004 Olympics.

498
00:22:42,940 --> 00:22:44,525
You wanna cut

499
00:22:44,526 --> 00:22:46,568
and break a nose,

500
00:22:46,569 --> 00:22:48,320
make some damage,

501
00:22:48,321 --> 00:22:49,946
you gonna taper that tip.

502
00:22:49,947 --> 00:22:51,072
Recently separated

503
00:22:51,073 --> 00:22:53,033
from her husband of five years,

504
00:22:53,034 --> 00:22:56,453
the future of Sara's
marriage is now uncertain.

505
00:22:56,454 --> 00:22:58,955
A devoted mother,
she is constantly balancing

506
00:22:58,956 --> 00:23:01,375
the demands of her fighting career

507
00:23:01,376 --> 00:23:04,671
with the time needed
for her daughter.

508
00:23:15,891 --> 00:23:17,558
Do you have a lot of homework?

509
00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:20,769
Were you a naughty girl today?

510
00:23:20,770 --> 00:23:22,396
You were a good girl?

511
00:23:22,397 --> 00:23:24,606
My brother wrestled since
I was about three years old,

512
00:23:24,607 --> 00:23:27,025
and I never really
had an interest in it.

513
00:23:27,026 --> 00:23:30,362
I did cheerleading
for like one year.

514
00:23:30,363 --> 00:23:31,655
And then when I
was 14, I was like,

515
00:23:31,656 --> 00:23:33,699
"I think I wanna
go out for sports."

516
00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:35,242
I wanted to do wrestling
'cause it just seemed like

517
00:23:35,243 --> 00:23:36,869
the most natural sport.

518
00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:40,038
But in North Carolina, that's
just wasn't really accepted.

519
00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:41,998
It was, "Girls should be

520
00:23:41,999 --> 00:23:43,375
"cooking and cleaning
for those boys,

521
00:23:43,376 --> 00:23:44,585
"not wrasslin' with them!"

522
00:23:44,586 --> 00:23:46,921
It was just a different time.

523
00:23:46,922 --> 00:23:49,339
I've always kinda had
a stubborn streak, so

524
00:23:49,340 --> 00:23:51,466
immediately when they told
me I couldn't do something,

525
00:23:51,467 --> 00:23:53,051
especially 'cause they
told me I couldn't do it

526
00:23:53,052 --> 00:23:54,344
'cause I was a girl,

527
00:23:54,345 --> 00:23:57,347
I was like, "No way.
"I'm doing this."

528
00:23:57,348 --> 00:23:59,433
Like, "You don't tell me
what I can and can't do

529
00:23:59,434 --> 00:24:00,851
"and what I'm capable of."

530
00:24:00,852 --> 00:24:02,978
And my mom was like,
"Oh, you're wrestling."

531
00:24:02,979 --> 00:24:04,521
And I was like, "Yes!"

532
00:24:04,522 --> 00:24:05,689
Some guys on the team

533
00:24:05,690 --> 00:24:07,566
didn't think that
I belonged there,

534
00:24:07,567 --> 00:24:09,276
like I was just there to

535
00:24:09,277 --> 00:24:11,486
find a boyfriend or hook
up or something like that.

536
00:24:11,487 --> 00:24:14,114
You know, "If she's gonna quit,
we'll help make her quit."

537
00:24:14,115 --> 00:24:18,159
If they came after me,
I just came after them harder.

538
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,578
So I just kinda proved that

539
00:24:19,579 --> 00:24:20,704
"Okay, you're
gonna stand up to me;

540
00:24:20,705 --> 00:24:22,163
"you're gonna challenge me.

541
00:24:22,164 --> 00:24:23,331
"It's just gonna make
me a better wrestler.

542
00:24:23,332 --> 00:24:26,168
"You're actually helping me."

543
00:24:28,797 --> 00:24:30,380
There's a grasshopper
in the mouth.

544
00:24:30,381 --> 00:24:32,257
It's trying to crawl out.
Grab it, quick.

545
00:24:32,258 --> 00:24:33,926
Grab it. Oh, look at it jump!

546
00:24:33,927 --> 00:24:34,886
Grab it!

547
00:24:34,887 --> 00:24:35,928
Quick. Got it!

548
00:24:35,929 --> 00:24:37,722
Don't squeeze it.

549
00:24:56,491 --> 00:24:59,534
My brother was murdered
when I was 18 years old

550
00:24:59,535 --> 00:25:01,036
and he was 21.

551
00:25:01,037 --> 00:25:04,414
And it was
at my first year of college.

552
00:25:04,415 --> 00:25:06,500
The guy got beat up by my brother,

553
00:25:06,501 --> 00:25:07,751
and so he was insulted

554
00:25:07,752 --> 00:25:09,044
and decided like, "You know what?

555
00:25:09,045 --> 00:25:10,170
"I'm gonna solve this problem.

556
00:25:10,171 --> 00:25:11,922
"I'm just gonna kill the guy."

557
00:25:11,923 --> 00:25:13,381
My older brother was responsible

558
00:25:13,382 --> 00:25:16,259
for me choosing to
wrestle and my character

559
00:25:16,260 --> 00:25:17,719
developing the way it did,

560
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,096
my stubbornness
and my hard work and my drive,

561
00:25:20,097 --> 00:25:23,266
and it was...

562
00:25:23,267 --> 00:25:24,226
It was horrible.

563
00:25:24,227 --> 00:25:25,811
It was horrible losing

564
00:25:25,812 --> 00:25:27,855
somebody you looked up to
and that was your hero.

565
00:25:27,856 --> 00:25:30,231
And, um...

566
00:25:30,232 --> 00:25:31,692
Not even just losing somebody.

567
00:25:31,693 --> 00:25:32,943
Losing somebody's hard enough,

568
00:25:32,944 --> 00:25:35,362
but having somebody
taken from you.

569
00:25:35,363 --> 00:25:38,323
It was really difficult
for an 18-year-old to

570
00:25:38,324 --> 00:25:40,034
process.

571
00:25:40,035 --> 00:25:44,579
I didn't process it by
like crying all the time.

572
00:25:44,580 --> 00:25:47,582
I threw myself into
wrestling, and when I wasn't,

573
00:25:47,583 --> 00:25:49,626
I was just angry.

574
00:25:49,627 --> 00:25:52,420
Angry at the world, angry that

575
00:25:52,421 --> 00:25:55,884
that's the hand that life
dealt me at that time.

576
00:25:59,054 --> 00:26:01,262
I'm not a fan of women fighting.

577
00:26:01,263 --> 00:26:03,431
I think it's gross.

578
00:26:03,432 --> 00:26:04,725
But that's just me.

579
00:26:04,726 --> 00:26:06,560
You know, you wanna,

580
00:26:06,561 --> 00:26:08,562
you wanna fight like a man,
you wanna act like a man,

581
00:26:08,563 --> 00:26:10,064
then I'm gonna beat
you up like a man.

582
00:26:10,065 --> 00:26:12,649
There's room for women
competitors, for sure.

583
00:26:12,650 --> 00:26:14,026
There's an opportunity for women;

584
00:26:14,027 --> 00:26:15,443
they wanna compete.

585
00:26:15,444 --> 00:26:17,529
They wanna be fighters.

586
00:26:17,530 --> 00:26:18,947
It's cool.

587
00:26:18,948 --> 00:26:20,323
I mean I don't see it too sexy.

588
00:26:20,324 --> 00:26:21,783
But that's just
my sexist side of me

589
00:26:21,784 --> 00:26:23,911
as being a man, I guess.

590
00:26:23,912 --> 00:26:27,163
But if they wanna compete, cool.
That's awesome.

591
00:26:27,164 --> 00:26:28,164
You know, I've
always had a fascination

592
00:26:28,165 --> 00:26:29,666
with combat sports.

593
00:26:29,667 --> 00:26:31,919
I can remember, as a little girl,

594
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,837
and I'm talking very little girl,

595
00:26:33,838 --> 00:26:35,296
maybe six, seven, eight,

596
00:26:35,297 --> 00:26:36,631
laying in bed, thinking,

597
00:26:36,632 --> 00:26:38,508
"If I hit him like this,
he's gonna do this.

598
00:26:38,509 --> 00:26:40,052
"If I do this,
he's gonna do that."

599
00:26:40,053 --> 00:26:42,554
I think my mom thought
I was amazingly crazy.

600
00:26:42,555 --> 00:26:43,931
People like, "You're not

601
00:26:43,932 --> 00:26:45,348
"gonna have your
daughter be a fighter?"

602
00:26:45,349 --> 00:26:46,725
No.

603
00:26:46,726 --> 00:26:48,476
Maybe a ballerina or something.

604
00:26:48,477 --> 00:26:51,354
I had parents that instilled in me

605
00:26:51,355 --> 00:26:53,356
to try to be strong,

606
00:26:53,357 --> 00:26:56,735
and martial arts
really did help me,

607
00:26:56,736 --> 00:26:58,779
because I got into it so young,

608
00:26:58,780 --> 00:26:59,947
build my confidence.

609
00:26:59,948 --> 00:27:01,740
It kinda gave me a voice.

610
00:27:01,741 --> 00:27:03,784
As female fighters,

611
00:27:03,785 --> 00:27:05,243
we do have a voice,

612
00:27:05,244 --> 00:27:07,079
and we can make our voice heard.

613
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,622
Every time we go in that cage,

614
00:27:08,623 --> 00:27:10,331
we earn more and more respect.

615
00:27:10,332 --> 00:27:12,292
And I think that
puts us in a position

616
00:27:12,293 --> 00:27:15,170
of being the voice for
other women around the world

617
00:27:15,171 --> 00:27:17,172
that don't have the opportunity

618
00:27:17,173 --> 00:27:18,882
to have their voice heard.

619
00:27:18,883 --> 00:27:21,802
It wasn't until Strikeforce

620
00:27:21,803 --> 00:27:25,597
that I had the opportunity to
see legitimate female athletes.

621
00:27:25,598 --> 00:27:27,348
For people that say
that there's no place

622
00:27:27,349 --> 00:27:28,850
for women in the octagon,

623
00:27:28,851 --> 00:27:30,852
I just say, "Watch."

624
00:27:30,853 --> 00:27:31,895
You know?

625
00:27:31,896 --> 00:27:33,855
"Watch, observe.

626
00:27:33,856 --> 00:27:35,482
"Have an open mind."

627
00:27:35,483 --> 00:27:37,151
If you bought
a ticket to an NBA game,

628
00:27:37,152 --> 00:27:38,526
and you said, "All right,

629
00:27:38,527 --> 00:27:40,070
"at halftime,
there's gonna be a WNBA game,"

630
00:27:40,071 --> 00:27:41,404
a lot of fans would be
like, "What is this?

631
00:27:41,405 --> 00:27:42,530
"We hate the WNBA."

632
00:27:42,531 --> 00:27:43,531
You know how that is.

633
00:27:43,532 --> 00:27:44,532
No one thinks twice.

634
00:27:44,533 --> 00:27:45,993
The women's fights are just

635
00:27:45,994 --> 00:27:47,661
as exciting and looked forward to

636
00:27:47,662 --> 00:27:49,287
as the men's fights.

637
00:27:49,288 --> 00:27:50,998
There's obviously a lot
of women that wanna fight,

638
00:27:50,999 --> 00:27:53,960
and there's a lot of guys
that wanna see 'em fight.

639
00:28:02,177 --> 00:28:03,343
Do you think women are finally

640
00:28:03,344 --> 00:28:05,553
getting respect as fighters?

641
00:28:05,554 --> 00:28:07,139
Yes, definitely.

642
00:28:07,140 --> 00:28:09,099
Well, especially since
there's Ronda Rousey.

643
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:12,477
She's definitely
deserved the respect.

644
00:28:12,478 --> 00:28:13,812
How hard she trains,

645
00:28:13,813 --> 00:28:15,772
her mental and her physical

646
00:28:15,773 --> 00:28:17,065
everything is so prepared.

647
00:28:17,066 --> 00:28:19,193
And that's what make
her a good fighter.

648
00:28:19,194 --> 00:28:20,694
Ronda Rousey,

649
00:28:20,695 --> 00:28:23,071
a reigning UFC champion
and number-four

650
00:28:23,072 --> 00:28:26,158
pound-for-pound
fighter in the world.

651
00:28:26,159 --> 00:28:28,827
She has viciously
dominated her opponents,

652
00:28:28,828 --> 00:28:31,371
beating many of them
within the opening seconds.

653
00:28:31,372 --> 00:28:32,622
Here is the action,

654
00:28:32,623 --> 00:28:34,249
and there's not a lot of it.

655
00:28:34,250 --> 00:28:35,876
Done!

656
00:28:35,877 --> 00:28:37,669
That is the
end, ladies and gentlemen!

657
00:28:37,670 --> 00:28:40,964
Seconds into
the first round, again.

658
00:28:40,965 --> 00:28:44,092
Ronda Rousey looks unbeatable.

659
00:28:44,093 --> 00:28:45,219
Phenomenal...

660
00:28:45,220 --> 00:28:47,137
All right, y'all. Here she is.

661
00:28:47,138 --> 00:28:48,430
Hi, everybody.

662
00:28:49,473 --> 00:28:51,141
Hi. Nice to meet you, too.

663
00:28:51,142 --> 00:28:53,101
I found a scrapbook

664
00:28:53,102 --> 00:28:56,479
in our house when
I was around eight,

665
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,067
and I discovered that my mom was

666
00:29:00,068 --> 00:29:03,319
the first American
judo world champion.

667
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,905
I just found out that

668
00:29:04,906 --> 00:29:06,656
she was actually Wonder Woman.

669
00:29:06,657 --> 00:29:07,866
People all over the world

670
00:29:07,867 --> 00:29:09,325
gravitate towards fighting because

671
00:29:09,326 --> 00:29:10,702
it's something that's in everyone

672
00:29:10,703 --> 00:29:12,162
and it's an actual instinct.

673
00:29:12,163 --> 00:29:14,831
It's not a man's thing
or a woman's thing.

674
00:29:14,832 --> 00:29:17,292
It's simple and it's natural,

675
00:29:17,293 --> 00:29:19,253
and we're all compelled to do it.

676
00:29:19,254 --> 00:29:21,171
It's in our blood.
It's in our history.

677
00:29:21,172 --> 00:29:24,007
We're instinctively
protective creatures

678
00:29:24,008 --> 00:29:25,300
because we're mothers.

679
00:29:25,301 --> 00:29:27,302
So if you ever watch
a female fight,

680
00:29:27,303 --> 00:29:28,845
you see that

681
00:29:28,846 --> 00:29:30,680
relentless passion

682
00:29:30,681 --> 00:29:32,974
to dominate and to survive.

683
00:29:32,975 --> 00:29:37,229
Recently,
Ronda took on Sara McMann,

684
00:29:37,230 --> 00:29:40,315
dropping her with
a knee to the liver,

685
00:29:40,316 --> 00:29:43,359
a stoppage that Sara still
believes was premature.

686
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,736
It is all over.

687
00:29:44,737 --> 00:29:46,821
She continues to train daily,

688
00:29:46,822 --> 00:29:49,242
patiently awaiting her next fight.

689
00:29:54,038 --> 00:29:55,663
Fighting out
of High Ridge, Missouri,

690
00:29:55,664 --> 00:29:58,041
the former Bellator
lightweight world champion,

691
00:29:58,042 --> 00:30:00,962
please welcome Michael Chandler!

692
00:30:08,052 --> 00:30:10,304
Ever since I lost
that belt a couple years ago,

693
00:30:10,305 --> 00:30:12,639
I knew that it was
only a matter of time,

694
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,932
only a matter of work,

695
00:30:13,933 --> 00:30:15,559
only a matter of
positive thinking.

696
00:30:23,776 --> 00:30:24,985
Losing extra pounds

697
00:30:24,986 --> 00:30:26,903
to make weight is never easy.

698
00:30:26,904 --> 00:30:29,489
It drastically affects
a fighter's mind.

699
00:30:29,490 --> 00:30:31,532
I'm very disciplined
for my whole training camp,

700
00:30:31,533 --> 00:30:33,785
and I get my body down to
the best physical shape

701
00:30:33,786 --> 00:30:35,370
it possibly can be,

702
00:30:35,371 --> 00:30:37,372
four or five, 6% body fat,

703
00:30:37,373 --> 00:30:39,040
and then that last 15 pounds or so

704
00:30:39,041 --> 00:30:40,708
is a lot of water weight.

705
00:30:40,709 --> 00:30:41,918
Once you make the weight,

706
00:30:41,919 --> 00:30:43,419
then you have about 24 hours,

707
00:30:43,420 --> 00:30:45,005
and you can finally breathe

708
00:30:45,006 --> 00:30:46,631
because that first fight
was just making the weight.

709
00:30:46,632 --> 00:30:48,383
Now you can focus
on the task at hand,

710
00:30:48,384 --> 00:30:50,636
which is going out there
and winning that next fight.

711
00:30:53,681 --> 00:30:56,432
Growing up in the Midwest,
my mom and dad worked two jobs

712
00:30:56,433 --> 00:30:57,767
to make sure us kids had

713
00:30:57,768 --> 00:30:59,227
every single thing that we wanted.

714
00:30:59,228 --> 00:31:00,937
My first love was wrestling.

715
00:31:00,938 --> 00:31:02,772
And my mom worked two jobs.

716
00:31:02,773 --> 00:31:04,065
My dad was a carpenter,

717
00:31:04,066 --> 00:31:05,566
so he went to work
throughout the week

718
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:07,319
and then would do side
jobs on the weekends

719
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,736
just to scrape up enough money

720
00:31:08,737 --> 00:31:10,280
to make sure I could
go to wrestling camps.

721
00:31:10,281 --> 00:31:12,240
They truly wanted to give us kids

722
00:31:12,241 --> 00:31:13,825
more than they had
when they grew up,

723
00:31:13,826 --> 00:31:16,244
and now kinda coming
into the sport of MMA,

724
00:31:16,245 --> 00:31:17,912
it's really helped
me keep my roots

725
00:31:17,913 --> 00:31:20,957
very strongly planted
in the ground.

726
00:31:20,958 --> 00:31:23,626
Republicans' bamboo trees.

727
00:31:23,627 --> 00:31:25,837
Even though he is
completely different.

728
00:31:25,838 --> 00:31:29,466
There was a guy that
dressed exceptionally good.

729
00:31:31,386 --> 00:31:33,220
Kicking and striking,
it was unnatural

730
00:31:33,221 --> 00:31:34,721
because I wasn't a
fighter growing up,

731
00:31:34,722 --> 00:31:36,097
I never got into fights,

732
00:31:36,098 --> 00:31:38,683
and I never really had
that adrenaline rush

733
00:31:38,684 --> 00:31:40,685
of fighting and throwing
punches and kicks

734
00:31:40,686 --> 00:31:42,062
and knees and elbows,

735
00:31:42,063 --> 00:31:44,314
but I wasn't afraid
of anybody, and I knew

736
00:31:44,315 --> 00:31:46,358
that I was already
gonna be tougher

737
00:31:46,359 --> 00:31:48,276
than a lot of the guys
I stepped in the cage with.

738
00:31:48,277 --> 00:31:49,903
I might not really understand

739
00:31:49,904 --> 00:31:51,612
how a fight works, but I know

740
00:31:51,613 --> 00:31:53,531
when it comes to
hand-to-hand combat,

741
00:31:53,532 --> 00:31:55,200
I've already done it
at the highest level

742
00:31:55,201 --> 00:31:56,368
in that Division I wrestling room,

743
00:31:56,369 --> 00:31:58,286
that Division I grind,

744
00:31:58,287 --> 00:32:00,372
where for 12 months
out of the year

745
00:32:00,373 --> 00:32:02,082
for five years straight,

746
00:32:02,083 --> 00:32:03,917
you were literally putting
your body through a living hell.

747
00:32:03,918 --> 00:32:07,003
You cannot go from
an elbow strike from 12 to six.

748
00:32:07,004 --> 00:32:09,130
Now you can be on
your back and throw it from

749
00:32:09,131 --> 00:32:10,173
six to 12.

750
00:32:10,174 --> 00:32:11,633
That is legal.

751
00:32:13,010 --> 00:32:14,344
Having a loss is tough.

752
00:32:14,345 --> 00:32:16,512
I've trained so hard and so smart

753
00:32:16,513 --> 00:32:18,639
and surrounded myself
with the right people,

754
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,267
the people I think
that are gonna help me,

755
00:32:20,268 --> 00:32:22,185
and I never envision
seeing myself lose.

756
00:32:22,186 --> 00:32:24,645
My first 12 fights I was 12-0,

757
00:32:24,646 --> 00:32:27,065
ten finishes, and seven
of those in the first round.

758
00:32:27,066 --> 00:32:28,358
Alvarez!

759
00:32:28,359 --> 00:32:30,068
Bleeding terribly out of the mouth

760
00:32:30,069 --> 00:32:31,403
from Michael Chandler!

761
00:32:31,404 --> 00:32:33,071
Now giving up his back!

762
00:32:33,072 --> 00:32:34,489
- Chandler looking...
- That's it!

763
00:32:34,490 --> 00:32:36,032
There's the tap!

764
00:32:36,033 --> 00:32:38,118
And we have a new champion!

765
00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:40,161
Michael Chandler is Bellator's

766
00:32:40,162 --> 00:32:42,038
new lightweight world champion!

767
00:32:42,039 --> 00:32:44,040
My rematch against Eddie Alvarez

768
00:32:44,041 --> 00:32:46,084
I lost by a tough,
tough split decision.

769
00:32:46,085 --> 00:32:47,585
A lot of people thought I won.

770
00:32:47,586 --> 00:32:49,504
I was put in this sport
to become a champion

771
00:32:49,505 --> 00:32:51,089
and be put on
a platform to reach people,

772
00:32:51,090 --> 00:32:53,216
so I couldn't see how
I could possibly lose

773
00:32:53,217 --> 00:32:54,259
inside that cage.

774
00:32:54,260 --> 00:32:55,469
And then it happens.

775
00:32:55,470 --> 00:32:56,886
I came back from the dead almost.

776
00:32:56,887 --> 00:32:58,388
Not many guys lose
three fights in a row

777
00:32:58,389 --> 00:33:00,181
and then came back and become

778
00:33:00,182 --> 00:33:02,809
where I think that
I'm gonna end up.

779
00:33:02,810 --> 00:33:04,185
You step in that cage,

780
00:33:04,186 --> 00:33:06,104
you have one goal and one mission,

781
00:33:06,105 --> 00:33:07,314
and that's to dominate.

782
00:33:07,315 --> 00:33:08,815
This is the hurt business.

783
00:33:08,816 --> 00:33:10,024
Huge right!

784
00:33:10,025 --> 00:33:12,026
I am pretty darn good at it.

785
00:33:12,027 --> 00:33:13,903
I visualize myself on
top of my opponent,

786
00:33:13,904 --> 00:33:15,780
hitting him or putting
him in a submission,

787
00:33:15,781 --> 00:33:17,157
watching him crumble,

788
00:33:17,158 --> 00:33:18,992
watching his facial
expression turn from

789
00:33:18,993 --> 00:33:21,744
looking like he thinks
that he's gonna win

790
00:33:21,745 --> 00:33:24,080
to that sunken-in facial
expression of "Oh, my gosh,

791
00:33:24,081 --> 00:33:25,206
"this guy won't get off me.

792
00:33:25,207 --> 00:33:26,707
"Oh, my gosh.

793
00:33:26,708 --> 00:33:28,708
"It's only a matter of time
before I get finished."

794
00:33:30,587 --> 00:33:35,091
Iron Michael Chandler!

795
00:33:35,092 --> 00:33:36,592
You know what to do!

796
00:33:36,593 --> 00:33:38,095
Lights out.

797
00:33:59,825 --> 00:34:00,742
Chandler!

798
00:34:00,743 --> 00:34:01,869
And it's over!

799
00:34:03,078 --> 00:34:05,163
Michael Chandler came in

800
00:34:05,164 --> 00:34:07,123
wanting to take
the fight to the ground.

801
00:34:07,124 --> 00:34:10,126
Instead, he puts Patricky
Pitbull to the ground.

802
00:34:10,127 --> 00:34:13,004
And we have a new
lightweight world champion.

803
00:34:13,005 --> 00:34:14,714
Let me amend that.

804
00:34:14,715 --> 00:34:16,257
There definitely
are still some troubled guys

805
00:34:16,258 --> 00:34:18,385
who wanna get in the sport
to channel their anger

806
00:34:18,386 --> 00:34:19,677
or, "Hey, I wanna make some money.

807
00:34:19,678 --> 00:34:20,720
"There's girls around.

808
00:34:20,721 --> 00:34:21,846
"Maybe I'll get on TV,

809
00:34:21,847 --> 00:34:23,557
"and my friends'll
think I'm cool."

810
00:34:23,558 --> 00:34:25,600
But it's starting to become
such a high-profile sport,

811
00:34:25,601 --> 00:34:27,810
it's not easy to get
signed to these promotions

812
00:34:27,811 --> 00:34:29,187
unless you are a quality fighter

813
00:34:29,188 --> 00:34:30,771
and a quality human being.

814
00:34:30,772 --> 00:34:33,400
It's interesting
the way the sport has grown,

815
00:34:33,401 --> 00:34:35,319
matured, and advanced.

816
00:34:42,326 --> 00:34:44,827
Clint Dahl,
a manager to many fighters,

817
00:34:44,828 --> 00:34:46,413
studied the UFC formula

818
00:34:46,414 --> 00:34:50,375
and soon began promoting
local fights in Orange County.

819
00:34:50,376 --> 00:34:52,586
These local events
became a breeding ground

820
00:34:52,587 --> 00:34:55,505
for some of the world's
greatest fighters.

821
00:34:55,506 --> 00:34:58,341
There's a good example
of California's finest.

822
00:34:58,342 --> 00:34:59,800
What up, buddy?

823
00:34:59,801 --> 00:35:01,344
Time I had graduated high school,

824
00:35:01,345 --> 00:35:04,097
a large number of my friends
had been murdered,

825
00:35:04,098 --> 00:35:05,681
and street fights
were a common thing.

826
00:35:05,682 --> 00:35:09,060
You know, you just did it.

827
00:35:09,061 --> 00:35:10,228
Fight fans, 1,000 strong

828
00:35:10,229 --> 00:35:12,063
in an Orange County college gym,

829
00:35:12,064 --> 00:35:14,399
cheer on the
bare-knuckle brawlers.

830
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,403
There are few rules,
and gloves are not required.

831
00:35:18,654 --> 00:35:20,071
The UFC had been going,

832
00:35:20,072 --> 00:35:22,365
and we started wanting to
be the UFC.

833
00:35:22,366 --> 00:35:25,785
We started putting on fights
that we called shoot fights.

834
00:35:25,786 --> 00:35:27,495
Shoot
fighting's not pro wrestling.

835
00:35:27,496 --> 00:35:28,913
You really fight out there,
and you don't go out there...

836
00:35:28,914 --> 00:35:30,748
Orange County
in the '90s was the mecca.

837
00:35:30,749 --> 00:35:33,334
Orange County was truly
the mecca of mixed martial arts.

838
00:35:33,335 --> 00:35:35,378
Well, the less rules there
are, the more intense it...

839
00:35:35,379 --> 00:35:36,754
I have a scar on my palm

840
00:35:36,755 --> 00:35:38,339
from when I hit a guy
and broke his nose,

841
00:35:38,340 --> 00:35:40,425
and I guess his skull
went into my hand and just

842
00:35:40,426 --> 00:35:41,717
blood everywhere.

843
00:35:41,718 --> 00:35:42,927
One night this guy came in,

844
00:35:42,928 --> 00:35:44,512
and he was a known badass.

845
00:35:44,513 --> 00:35:45,721
He was like the guy on the street.

846
00:35:45,722 --> 00:35:46,764
He wasn't a big guy,

847
00:35:46,765 --> 00:35:47,974
but he'd beat up big guys.

848
00:35:47,975 --> 00:35:49,183
Everyone would talk about him.

849
00:35:49,184 --> 00:35:50,560
And I'm like, "Will you fight?"

850
00:35:50,561 --> 00:35:52,061
And he's all like,
"Who am I fighting?"

851
00:35:52,062 --> 00:35:53,938
I go, "I got a
16-year-old kid back here

852
00:35:53,939 --> 00:35:55,106
"who trains here."

853
00:35:55,107 --> 00:35:58,734
That 16-year-old kid beat the shit

854
00:35:58,735 --> 00:36:00,278
outta that street fighter.

855
00:36:00,279 --> 00:36:01,696
Mangled him.

856
00:36:01,697 --> 00:36:03,448
So this street fighter's
sitting on the floor.

857
00:36:03,449 --> 00:36:04,449
I go, "Are you okay?"

858
00:36:04,450 --> 00:36:06,409
And the $100 that I gave him

859
00:36:06,410 --> 00:36:08,077
were in twenties,
and they were all crumbled up,

860
00:36:08,078 --> 00:36:10,288
and he just
reached and grabbed 'em,

861
00:36:10,289 --> 00:36:11,998
and he just like pulls
them into himself.

862
00:36:11,999 --> 00:36:13,124
He's just afraid in that moment

863
00:36:13,125 --> 00:36:16,210
that I'm gonna take his $100.

864
00:36:16,211 --> 00:36:17,837
So there's
a street fighting story.

865
00:36:17,838 --> 00:36:19,297
Street fighters lose.

866
00:36:19,298 --> 00:36:21,341
And that's where
it started to progress.

867
00:36:21,342 --> 00:36:23,176
A practicing minister,

868
00:36:23,177 --> 00:36:26,179
please welcome Kimo!

869
00:36:26,180 --> 00:36:28,348
In America,
since it's the melting pot

870
00:36:28,349 --> 00:36:29,932
of all different cultures,

871
00:36:29,933 --> 00:36:31,851
I believe that same thing happens

872
00:36:31,852 --> 00:36:33,645
when a martial art comes here.

873
00:36:33,646 --> 00:36:35,813
Kickboxing, karate, taekwondo,

874
00:36:35,814 --> 00:36:37,940
all of these things
got mixed together

875
00:36:37,941 --> 00:36:40,193
to make mixed martial arts.

876
00:36:40,194 --> 00:36:41,486
The sport of mixed martial arts

877
00:36:41,487 --> 00:36:44,155
has constantly reinvented itself.

878
00:36:44,156 --> 00:36:46,073
Once dominated
by Brazilian jiu-jitsu,

879
00:36:46,074 --> 00:36:49,494
today's fighters must develop
a more well-rounded approach

880
00:36:49,495 --> 00:36:50,704
to stay competitive.

881
00:36:50,705 --> 00:36:52,497
We learned about the Gracies.

882
00:36:52,498 --> 00:36:54,832
A fundamental
ground fighting system

883
00:36:54,833 --> 00:36:57,377
was revealed to us,
and we all went, "Holy smokes!"

884
00:36:57,378 --> 00:37:00,171
But then when Stan Longinidis
beat Dennis Alexio

885
00:37:00,172 --> 00:37:02,215
with a leg kick,
Muay Thai came around,

886
00:37:02,216 --> 00:37:03,257
and everybody went, "Holy smokes.

887
00:37:03,258 --> 00:37:04,592
"What's Muay Thai?"

888
00:37:04,593 --> 00:37:06,469
Then you get a guy
like a Don Frye,

889
00:37:06,470 --> 00:37:09,430
who's a very good boxer
and a good wrestler,

890
00:37:09,431 --> 00:37:11,140
that could stuff a takedown

891
00:37:11,141 --> 00:37:13,727
and then start punching
and knock a guy out.

892
00:37:13,728 --> 00:37:16,229
UFC 8, versus Gary Goodridge,

893
00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:17,480
he was a monster.

894
00:37:17,481 --> 00:37:19,940
UFC 9, Amaury Bitetti,

895
00:37:19,941 --> 00:37:21,192
God bless him,

896
00:37:21,193 --> 00:37:23,236
he almost died that night,

897
00:37:23,237 --> 00:37:24,654
'cause he would not quit.

898
00:37:24,655 --> 00:37:25,946
There it is.

899
00:37:25,947 --> 00:37:27,407
"More," he's saying "More."

900
00:37:27,408 --> 00:37:31,452
UFC 10, Coleman almost killed me.

901
00:37:31,453 --> 00:37:32,953
You got guys like Tito Ortiz

902
00:37:32,954 --> 00:37:34,330
who reinvented
the ground-and-pound

903
00:37:34,331 --> 00:37:36,290
after Coleman pretty
much invented it,

904
00:37:36,291 --> 00:37:38,376
to a sprawl-and-brawl,

905
00:37:38,377 --> 00:37:40,628
which Chuck Liddell mastered.

906
00:37:40,629 --> 00:37:41,921
Oh!

907
00:37:41,922 --> 00:37:43,464
Oh, and a big right hand!

908
00:37:43,465 --> 00:37:44,465
Big left kick!

909
00:37:44,466 --> 00:37:45,800
That's it! Oh, it's over!

910
00:37:45,801 --> 00:37:47,510
It's all over!

911
00:37:47,511 --> 00:37:50,054
There has never been
a challenger like this before.

912
00:37:50,055 --> 00:37:52,014
Knocking someone out,
it feels great.

913
00:37:52,015 --> 00:37:54,267
If you play baseball,
it's like hitting that clean

914
00:37:54,268 --> 00:37:55,935
line drive out of the park.

915
00:37:55,936 --> 00:37:57,437
The young guys at that time

916
00:37:57,438 --> 00:37:59,063
said, "Okay, we gotta
be a complete fighter.

917
00:37:59,064 --> 00:38:00,774
"Otherwise, if you have
a hole in your game

918
00:38:00,775 --> 00:38:02,149
"and I don't, then

919
00:38:02,150 --> 00:38:03,818
"I'm gonna probably
win the fight."

920
00:38:03,819 --> 00:38:04,985
In our schools, we teach striking

921
00:38:04,986 --> 00:38:06,279
and ground tactics.

922
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,322
You have to know both.

923
00:38:08,323 --> 00:38:10,700
For a street situation
you have to know it,

924
00:38:10,701 --> 00:38:12,159
and of course for MMA.

925
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,704
And I would never put
somebody in the cage

926
00:38:14,705 --> 00:38:16,205
that's not well rounded.

927
00:38:16,206 --> 00:38:19,333
It's putting it all
together, making it

928
00:38:19,334 --> 00:38:20,460
as one.

929
00:38:20,461 --> 00:38:21,544
If you can make it all seamless,

930
00:38:21,545 --> 00:38:23,337
then that's the art of it.

931
00:38:23,338 --> 00:38:25,632
Each fighter gets to
put his own flavor on it

932
00:38:25,633 --> 00:38:29,677
and come out and express
himself to the world

933
00:38:29,678 --> 00:38:32,012
in a canvas that's
painted in blood.

934
00:38:32,013 --> 00:38:33,807
This sport started
with barroom brawlers,

935
00:38:33,808 --> 00:38:35,767
guys who were angry or
just getting out of prison,

936
00:38:35,768 --> 00:38:37,393
and it was taboo.

937
00:38:37,394 --> 00:38:39,771
But now you see so many
people coming into this sport

938
00:38:39,772 --> 00:38:41,564
where they're just
passionate about it.

939
00:38:41,565 --> 00:38:43,232
I have my degree from Mizzou.

940
00:38:43,233 --> 00:38:44,400
If I wanted to stop
fighting today,

941
00:38:44,401 --> 00:38:45,860
I could go use that degree

942
00:38:45,861 --> 00:38:47,445
and do whatever I
wanted to do with it.

943
00:38:47,446 --> 00:38:49,905
But I choose fighting
because I like it.

944
00:38:49,906 --> 00:38:51,574
I'm not the kind of
guy who goes out to a bar

945
00:38:51,575 --> 00:38:53,200
and gets into
a fight like an idiot.

946
00:38:53,201 --> 00:38:54,410
I can't say I ever got in a fight

947
00:38:54,411 --> 00:38:55,787
that I wasn't paid for.

948
00:38:55,788 --> 00:38:57,288
Now you're coming in

949
00:38:57,289 --> 00:39:00,040
as a guy who started
training in MMA

950
00:39:00,041 --> 00:39:02,418
as a 12-year-old and now you're 21

951
00:39:02,419 --> 00:39:03,711
with all those skillset.

952
00:39:03,712 --> 00:39:05,672
It's fun to look
back at that time,

953
00:39:05,673 --> 00:39:07,423
but that's wasn't sport;

954
00:39:07,424 --> 00:39:08,508
that was more spectacle.

955
00:39:08,509 --> 00:39:10,426
This is true sport.

956
00:39:10,427 --> 00:39:14,263
All right, guys, let's go!

957
00:39:14,264 --> 00:39:16,600
Let's get, get it, get it.

958
00:39:20,395 --> 00:39:23,690
Rashad's knee
has yet to fully heal.

959
00:39:23,691 --> 00:39:27,861
But he's eager to
begin his training.

960
00:39:27,862 --> 00:39:29,654
Thank you, my prince.

961
00:39:29,655 --> 00:39:33,073
Thank you, my princess.

962
00:39:33,074 --> 00:39:34,367
He steps back into the gym

963
00:39:34,368 --> 00:39:36,619
for the first time in ten months.

964
00:39:36,620 --> 00:39:38,371
What's up, man, how you doing?

965
00:39:38,372 --> 00:39:41,916
This is just
the beginning of his comeback.

966
00:39:41,917 --> 00:39:44,335
What was your childhood like?

967
00:39:44,336 --> 00:39:45,961
I moved with my dad
when I was three years old,

968
00:39:45,962 --> 00:39:49,256
and I stayed until I was seven.

969
00:39:49,257 --> 00:39:51,509
He had very bad anger issues.

970
00:39:51,510 --> 00:39:52,927
You know, he whooped our ass a lot

971
00:39:52,928 --> 00:39:54,595
to the point sometimes where

972
00:39:54,596 --> 00:39:57,933
I didn't even fear
the paddle anymore.

973
00:39:59,393 --> 00:40:00,518
Ha!

974
00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:02,603
My mother was a good mom.

975
00:40:02,604 --> 00:40:04,104
She was very strict.

976
00:40:04,105 --> 00:40:06,273
She would give you
a couple warnings.

977
00:40:06,274 --> 00:40:08,401
And if by the third warning
you didn't get it right,

978
00:40:08,402 --> 00:40:10,528
it was bop, bop, bop, bop!

979
00:40:10,529 --> 00:40:12,488
"Rashad, go get that belt!"

980
00:40:12,489 --> 00:40:14,156
And I'm like, "Damn!"

981
00:40:14,157 --> 00:40:15,157
Okay, here we go!

982
00:40:15,158 --> 00:40:16,826
I used to love to fight.

983
00:40:16,827 --> 00:40:18,578
That was like the funnest
thing in the world to me,

984
00:40:18,579 --> 00:40:21,038
just to get into a street
fight with some other kids.

985
00:40:21,039 --> 00:40:22,998
It was natural for me

986
00:40:22,999 --> 00:40:24,291
because I grew up fighting.

987
00:40:24,292 --> 00:40:27,002
Back when I was four
or five years old,

988
00:40:27,003 --> 00:40:28,963
my brother Lance
would make me fight

989
00:40:28,964 --> 00:40:30,005
other little kids.

990
00:40:30,006 --> 00:40:31,298
They would love to fight me

991
00:40:31,299 --> 00:40:32,842
because I looked like a wimp.

992
00:40:32,843 --> 00:40:35,094
And I had to always
prove to them that

993
00:40:35,095 --> 00:40:39,348
I'm 'bout it,
and I'm not scared of nothing.

994
00:40:39,349 --> 00:40:44,144
It helped me
release a lot of frustration

995
00:40:44,145 --> 00:40:45,187
and hurt that I had.

996
00:40:45,188 --> 00:40:46,606
You know what I'm saying?

997
00:40:46,607 --> 00:40:48,817
We grew up kind of poor,
very poor.

998
00:40:49,818 --> 00:40:50,985
And it was just,

999
00:40:50,986 --> 00:40:51,986
it was hard.

1000
00:40:51,987 --> 00:40:53,613
Bop, bop!

1001
00:40:53,614 --> 00:40:55,615
Once I got old enough to
really start to understand

1002
00:40:55,616 --> 00:40:57,658
that I was poor,

1003
00:40:57,659 --> 00:40:59,744
then I had a lot of resentment

1004
00:40:59,745 --> 00:41:02,204
for my father,
even resentment for my mother,

1005
00:41:02,205 --> 00:41:04,707
because I was like...

1006
00:41:04,708 --> 00:41:06,834
I used to think like,
"Why the fuck do I gotta

1007
00:41:06,835 --> 00:41:08,211
"grow up like this?"

1008
00:41:09,588 --> 00:41:13,132
It was one
of the things in my life that

1009
00:41:13,133 --> 00:41:14,550
always gives me drive

1010
00:41:14,551 --> 00:41:18,472
because I can still
remember that feeling.

1011
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:38,950
That's the business,
you know what I'm saying?

1012
00:41:38,951 --> 00:41:41,786
I got one chance
in my lifetime right now

1013
00:41:41,787 --> 00:41:44,038
to seize this opportunity
and make the most out of it,

1014
00:41:44,039 --> 00:41:45,414
and I gotta do what I gotta do

1015
00:41:45,415 --> 00:41:47,750
to make sure I'm doing that.

1016
00:41:47,751 --> 00:41:48,835
You know?

1017
00:41:48,836 --> 00:41:50,920
I been in this game since

1018
00:41:50,921 --> 00:41:53,007
2003, man.

1019
00:42:00,096 --> 00:42:01,597
When you met Rashad,

1020
00:42:01,598 --> 00:42:03,474
did you know he was
a professional fighter?

1021
00:42:03,475 --> 00:42:04,517
No.

1022
00:42:04,518 --> 00:42:06,519
I had no idea what I was in for.

1023
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:07,979
He tried to tell me,

1024
00:42:07,980 --> 00:42:09,730
and I asked him,

1025
00:42:09,731 --> 00:42:11,440
"A fighter, what do you mean?"

1026
00:42:11,441 --> 00:42:13,275
And he said, "Mixed martial arts."

1027
00:42:13,276 --> 00:42:15,528
I was like,
"Okay, that's a nice hobby,

1028
00:42:15,529 --> 00:42:17,237
"but what do you do for a living?"

1029
00:42:17,238 --> 00:42:19,239
He asked how you
do it and cut off,

1030
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:20,491
you not only controlled

1031
00:42:20,492 --> 00:42:22,660
but you cut off blood supply.

1032
00:42:22,661 --> 00:42:24,495
He's trying to prove
something. That's why.

1033
00:42:24,496 --> 00:42:25,872
No, no, no,
no, no, I'm just showing him.

1034
00:42:25,873 --> 00:42:27,414
I just wanna feel it.

1035
00:42:27,415 --> 00:42:28,916
Hold on, let me finish my tuna, man.
Come on, damn.

1036
00:42:28,917 --> 00:42:30,125
Was it difficult seeing him

1037
00:42:30,126 --> 00:42:31,168
not able to train?

1038
00:42:31,169 --> 00:42:33,587
Yeah, it's difficult because

1039
00:42:33,588 --> 00:42:36,590
it's like a child
that's not able to play.

1040
00:42:36,591 --> 00:42:37,801
Don't hurt his neck.

1041
00:42:44,349 --> 00:42:45,808
Out of all the sports out there,

1042
00:42:45,809 --> 00:42:48,185
it's the hardest one
to be connected with,

1043
00:42:48,186 --> 00:42:51,064
to watch him want
to do so much but

1044
00:42:51,065 --> 00:42:52,273
you can't.

1045
00:43:03,702 --> 00:43:04,869
With his upcoming fight

1046
00:43:04,870 --> 00:43:07,080
against Daniel Cormier looming,

1047
00:43:07,081 --> 00:43:09,415
Jon takes time away from training

1048
00:43:09,416 --> 00:43:11,960
to fulfill his fatherly duties.

1049
00:43:14,755 --> 00:43:15,922
Oh, look.

1050
00:43:15,923 --> 00:43:17,674
Jon Bones Jones doll.

1051
00:43:19,051 --> 00:43:21,343
I let my kids watch my fights, but

1052
00:43:21,344 --> 00:43:22,929
never live,

1053
00:43:22,930 --> 00:43:24,889
because you never know what's
gonna happen out there.

1054
00:43:24,890 --> 00:43:27,141
I've had some fights where
I've gotten pretty bloody,

1055
00:43:27,142 --> 00:43:28,559
and I've had some fights

1056
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,269
where I've gotten other
people pretty bloody.

1057
00:43:30,270 --> 00:43:34,314
And I don't really like them
to see that type of stuff.

1058
00:43:34,315 --> 00:43:35,315
Excuse me, Bones.

1059
00:43:35,316 --> 00:43:36,567
How's it going?

1060
00:43:36,568 --> 00:43:37,693
Pretty good, pretty good.

1061
00:43:37,694 --> 00:43:39,780
Good, good to see you, buddy.

1062
00:43:41,115 --> 00:43:42,615
Do a lot of fighters

1063
00:43:42,616 --> 00:43:44,617
bring their families
along during the training?

1064
00:43:44,618 --> 00:43:46,285
That seems to work
for a lot of fighters.

1065
00:43:46,286 --> 00:43:47,745
I've also seen a lot of fighters

1066
00:43:47,746 --> 00:43:49,246
come down here by themselves.

1067
00:43:49,247 --> 00:43:51,540
And those guys really,

1068
00:43:51,541 --> 00:43:53,584
they don't really seem as happy.

1069
00:43:53,585 --> 00:43:56,129
They seem to get burned
out a little faster.

1070
00:43:56,130 --> 00:43:58,672
They miss their kids and

1071
00:43:58,673 --> 00:43:59,924
just having my kids run up to me

1072
00:43:59,925 --> 00:44:01,592
screaming "Daddy, Daddy!"

1073
00:44:01,593 --> 00:44:04,011
things in the gym just don't seem

1074
00:44:04,012 --> 00:44:05,345
that serious.

1075
00:44:05,346 --> 00:44:07,640
Daddy!

1076
00:44:07,641 --> 00:44:09,266
Guess what?

1077
00:44:09,267 --> 00:44:11,435
Got you guys some toys tonight.

1078
00:44:11,436 --> 00:44:12,561
Yay!

1079
00:44:12,562 --> 00:44:14,855
Yeah.

1080
00:44:14,856 --> 00:44:16,607
Your opponent, Daniel Cormier,

1081
00:44:16,608 --> 00:44:18,400
keeps saying that you're
gonna poke him in the eyes

1082
00:44:18,401 --> 00:44:19,485
during the fight.

1083
00:44:19,486 --> 00:44:20,987
Why does he keep saying that?

1084
00:44:20,988 --> 00:44:24,115
So Daniel Cormier
is saying before the fight

1085
00:44:24,116 --> 00:44:25,324
that I'll end up
poking him in the eyes

1086
00:44:25,325 --> 00:44:26,450
at some point,

1087
00:44:26,451 --> 00:44:27,785
and the reason why he says that

1088
00:44:27,786 --> 00:44:29,954
is because I do poke
people in the eyes.

1089
00:44:29,955 --> 00:44:31,872
And it's very illegal.

1090
00:44:31,873 --> 00:44:32,958
But I do it.

1091
00:44:35,043 --> 00:44:36,086
Livies.

1092
00:44:37,295 --> 00:44:40,589
- She hit me today.
- Did she?

1093
00:44:40,590 --> 00:44:42,299
I react to people

1094
00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:44,177
trying to punch me in the face by

1095
00:44:44,178 --> 00:44:46,637
usually sticking my hand out

1096
00:44:46,638 --> 00:44:48,222
and pushing their face away,

1097
00:44:48,223 --> 00:44:49,765
kinda like you see on TV

1098
00:44:49,766 --> 00:44:51,142
where the big brother's
holding his little brother

1099
00:44:51,143 --> 00:44:53,144
and the little
brother can't hit him

1100
00:44:53,145 --> 00:44:56,730
'cause his arms isn't
long enough or whatnot.

1101
00:44:56,731 --> 00:44:57,773
And I do that in real fights.

1102
00:44:57,774 --> 00:44:59,233
Like if someone's coming at me,

1103
00:44:59,234 --> 00:45:01,068
I'll just put my hand
on their forehead.

1104
00:45:01,069 --> 00:45:02,695
And a lot of times they
end up missing the punch

1105
00:45:02,696 --> 00:45:04,238
that was intended for my face.

1106
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,490
And sometimes it lands
in people's eyes.

1107
00:45:06,491 --> 00:45:08,075
And people hate that.

1108
00:45:08,076 --> 00:45:10,285
They're like, "Jonny, you're
a very talented fighter.

1109
00:45:10,286 --> 00:45:12,371
"You don't need to
use an illegal tactic

1110
00:45:12,372 --> 00:45:13,873
"to be successful."

1111
00:45:13,874 --> 00:45:15,208
And I try to tell people
it's not intentional,

1112
00:45:15,209 --> 00:45:17,794
but now I'm kinda
known for it, and

1113
00:45:19,504 --> 00:45:20,881
it's working.

1114
00:45:23,299 --> 00:45:25,759
Mwah!

1115
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,012
Thank you.

1116
00:45:30,306 --> 00:45:32,975
What gives
you the most stress in life?

1117
00:45:32,976 --> 00:45:34,810
My MMA career.

1118
00:45:34,811 --> 00:45:37,021
Definitely.

1119
00:45:37,022 --> 00:45:42,693
Not only winning, but performing
at people's expectations.

1120
00:45:42,694 --> 00:45:44,862
Being called the greatest
fighter in the world

1121
00:45:44,863 --> 00:45:45,988
pound-for-pound,

1122
00:45:45,989 --> 00:45:47,281
not only do you have to win

1123
00:45:47,282 --> 00:45:49,033
but you have to be impressive.

1124
00:45:49,034 --> 00:45:52,746
And I think that's
what causes me stress.

1125
00:45:53,914 --> 00:45:54,956
Oy!

1126
00:45:56,250 --> 00:45:57,917
Seat belts.

1127
00:45:57,918 --> 00:46:00,921
Seat belts,
seat belts, seat belts.

1128
00:46:16,811 --> 00:46:18,145
In August, the press conference

1129
00:46:18,146 --> 00:46:21,815
of the upcoming UFC 182 was held.

1130
00:46:21,816 --> 00:46:23,859
Jones and Cormier
finally got a chance

1131
00:46:23,860 --> 00:46:26,528
to size each other up.

1132
00:46:26,529 --> 00:46:28,322
Things escalated quickly

1133
00:46:28,323 --> 00:46:30,616
as the two fighters
met face to face

1134
00:46:30,617 --> 00:46:32,410
at center stage.

1135
00:46:43,463 --> 00:46:45,298
Despite the melee,
the status of the fight

1136
00:46:45,299 --> 00:46:47,841
remains unchanged.

1137
00:46:47,842 --> 00:46:50,303
However, both fighters
were given serious fines

1138
00:46:50,304 --> 00:46:52,387
as well as community service.

1139
00:46:52,388 --> 00:46:53,973
You're the scum of the earth.

1140
00:46:53,974 --> 00:46:55,474
You are a terrible human being,

1141
00:46:55,475 --> 00:46:56,976
but you can sure turn it on, huh?

1142
00:46:56,977 --> 00:46:58,727
Thank you.

1143
00:46:58,728 --> 00:47:01,188
I actually admire that you
can actually be this fake

1144
00:47:01,189 --> 00:47:03,357
and, like, when the TV comes on,
how you can just change.

1145
00:47:03,358 --> 00:47:04,691
It's like you're a chameleon.

1146
00:47:04,692 --> 00:47:06,443
Both managed to exchange

1147
00:47:06,444 --> 00:47:08,862
obscenities and even live
threats to the mainstream media.

1148
00:47:08,863 --> 00:47:10,572
The fact that you're
a pussy hasn't changed.

1149
00:47:10,573 --> 00:47:12,825
Including ESPN's SportsCenter.

1150
00:47:12,826 --> 00:47:14,118
I wish they would let me next door

1151
00:47:14,119 --> 00:47:18,038
so I could spit in your face.

1152
00:47:18,039 --> 00:47:19,539
You know I would
absolutely kill you

1153
00:47:19,540 --> 00:47:21,416
if you ever did something
like that, right?

1154
00:47:21,417 --> 00:47:22,542
You could never kill me.

1155
00:47:22,543 --> 00:47:23,836
Oh, I bet you I could.

1156
00:47:23,837 --> 00:47:25,087
Cormier is a tough opponent,

1157
00:47:25,088 --> 00:47:26,672
and previous confrontations

1158
00:47:26,673 --> 00:47:27,798
have made it personal.
I would literally kill you

1159
00:47:27,799 --> 00:47:28,758
if you spit in my face.

1160
00:47:28,759 --> 00:47:30,384
Yeah, let's try that, Jon.

1161
00:47:30,385 --> 00:47:32,928
- Literally kill you.
- Let's try that, Jon.

1162
00:47:32,929 --> 00:47:34,680
I'm not saying I would fight you;

1163
00:47:34,681 --> 00:47:35,931
I say I would kill you

1164
00:47:35,932 --> 00:47:37,391
if you did some
stupid shit like that.

1165
00:47:37,392 --> 00:47:38,517
So Jon, do you think
I'm just gonna sit there

1166
00:47:38,518 --> 00:47:40,019
and let you kill me, Jon?

1167
00:47:40,020 --> 00:47:41,604
I mean, really?

1168
00:47:43,940 --> 00:47:46,066
Harder, harder, harder! Higher!

1169
00:47:46,067 --> 00:47:48,777
Go, go, go!
Five seconds, finish strong!

1170
00:47:48,778 --> 00:47:50,779
The best liver kick that I see is

1171
00:47:50,780 --> 00:47:52,198
from catching a kick
or parrying a kick...

1172
00:47:52,199 --> 00:47:53,573
Earlier in the day,

1173
00:47:53,574 --> 00:47:56,869
Sara received a call
from the UFC matchmaker.

1174
00:47:56,870 --> 00:47:59,205
She has been offered
to fight Miesha Tate,

1175
00:47:59,206 --> 00:48:01,957
one of the top-ranked
fighters in the world.

1176
00:48:01,958 --> 00:48:04,377
It will be the challenge
Sara has prepared for.

1177
00:48:04,378 --> 00:48:05,419
Reset, back neutral!

1178
00:48:05,420 --> 00:48:07,629
One step back, come back in!

1179
00:48:07,630 --> 00:48:09,340
That's it.

1180
00:48:09,341 --> 00:48:10,924
Is she accounting for
elbows and down pressure?

1181
00:48:10,925 --> 00:48:12,343
Pull him into the ground.

1182
00:48:12,344 --> 00:48:13,886
In college, you had a fiancé.

1183
00:48:13,887 --> 00:48:15,595
Was it easy for you
to get along with him

1184
00:48:15,596 --> 00:48:17,431
because he was a wrestler also?

1185
00:48:17,432 --> 00:48:20,017
Yeah. He understood
everything, you know.

1186
00:48:20,018 --> 00:48:22,686
Like he knew the stress
and pressure I was under.

1187
00:48:22,687 --> 00:48:24,730
There's so many things
that go unspoken

1188
00:48:24,731 --> 00:48:26,106
between two athletes.

1189
00:48:26,107 --> 00:48:27,900
Like I would never
have any question

1190
00:48:27,901 --> 00:48:29,526
of how he was feeling,
what was going on,

1191
00:48:29,527 --> 00:48:31,237
what was he experiencing.

1192
00:48:31,238 --> 00:48:32,821
And the same things vice versa.

1193
00:48:32,822 --> 00:48:34,824
You just have a different
understanding of it.

1194
00:48:40,997 --> 00:48:44,499
What happened
in September of 2004?

1195
00:48:44,500 --> 00:48:46,543
He'd gotten into
Columbia Law School.

1196
00:48:46,544 --> 00:48:48,337
And we were driving to go

1197
00:48:48,338 --> 00:48:50,047
move all of my stuff there.

1198
00:48:50,048 --> 00:48:55,844
And for whatever reason,
the car veered off the road,

1199
00:48:55,845 --> 00:48:57,304
and I tried to correct it.

1200
00:48:57,305 --> 00:49:00,182
And I overcorrected
it, and it rolled, and

1201
00:49:00,183 --> 00:49:01,475
I got injuries,

1202
00:49:01,476 --> 00:49:03,060
we were both ejected
from the vehicle,

1203
00:49:03,061 --> 00:49:05,438
and he passed away.

1204
00:49:05,439 --> 00:49:07,273
We were planning
on getting married.

1205
00:49:07,274 --> 00:49:10,067
So I lost him and everything
that he brings to the world,

1206
00:49:10,068 --> 00:49:13,653
and then I also lost
all of our future plans,

1207
00:49:13,654 --> 00:49:15,572
children we would've had together,

1208
00:49:15,573 --> 00:49:17,616
all the things that
happen throughout

1209
00:49:17,617 --> 00:49:19,159
the course of a lifetime, so

1210
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,079
I just went through
a really, really bad time,

1211
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,873
struggling to come
to terms with things.

1212
00:49:24,874 --> 00:49:28,294
Like this is what
happened in life.

1213
00:49:28,295 --> 00:49:29,420
This is your life,

1214
00:49:29,421 --> 00:49:31,255
and whether you like it or not,

1215
00:49:31,256 --> 00:49:33,173
this is how it's going.

1216
00:49:33,174 --> 00:49:37,719
I really started
to review and realize

1217
00:49:37,720 --> 00:49:39,555
what life really is all about.

1218
00:49:40,681 --> 00:49:43,101
You gonna brush your teeth?

1219
00:49:44,102 --> 00:49:45,936
You want help?

1220
00:49:45,937 --> 00:49:47,229
No, ma'am.

1221
00:49:47,230 --> 00:49:49,148
You kinda grow up thinking that

1222
00:49:49,149 --> 00:49:50,983
certain things are expected

1223
00:49:50,984 --> 00:49:54,361
like, oh, if you work really hard,

1224
00:49:54,362 --> 00:49:55,612
good things will come to you,

1225
00:49:55,613 --> 00:49:57,281
and if you're
a really good person,

1226
00:49:57,282 --> 00:49:59,450
you'll find somebody to be with
and it'll last forever,

1227
00:49:59,451 --> 00:50:04,037
and we don't realize
that we're living...

1228
00:50:04,038 --> 00:50:05,080
envisioning the fairy tale,

1229
00:50:05,081 --> 00:50:06,665
but we kinda are.

1230
00:50:06,666 --> 00:50:08,167
And then something happens that

1231
00:50:08,168 --> 00:50:10,294
just kinda wipes all that out.

1232
00:50:10,295 --> 00:50:13,005
And you just have to figure out

1233
00:50:13,006 --> 00:50:15,257
"Okay, this isn't
something that is

1234
00:50:15,258 --> 00:50:16,675
"outside of the range of life.

1235
00:50:16,676 --> 00:50:17,884
"This is life.

1236
00:50:17,885 --> 00:50:20,387
"This is what it's about."

1237
00:50:20,388 --> 00:50:23,265
Life offers some really, really
wonderful, beautiful things,

1238
00:50:23,266 --> 00:50:25,767
but it's almost pretty
much part of the package

1239
00:50:25,768 --> 00:50:27,894
that you go through
the really extremely

1240
00:50:27,895 --> 00:50:29,688
difficult ones, too.

1241
00:50:29,689 --> 00:50:31,064
I love you.

1242
00:50:31,065 --> 00:50:33,400
I love new!

1243
00:50:33,401 --> 00:50:34,485
Do you ever get scared

1244
00:50:34,486 --> 00:50:35,819
that if you get injured fighting

1245
00:50:35,820 --> 00:50:37,779
you might not be there
for your daughter?

1246
00:50:37,780 --> 00:50:40,949
It's something
I definitely worry about.

1247
00:50:40,950 --> 00:50:42,368
You only get one brain,

1248
00:50:42,369 --> 00:50:45,663
so will I be able
to be there for her?

1249
00:50:53,754 --> 00:50:57,090
The winner!

1250
00:50:57,091 --> 00:50:59,385
Throughout
professional MMA's existence,

1251
00:50:59,386 --> 00:51:01,053
maintaining a fighter's health

1252
00:51:01,054 --> 00:51:03,763
has always been a challenge.

1253
00:51:03,764 --> 00:51:05,224
Many careers have been cut short

1254
00:51:05,225 --> 00:51:07,184
as a result of injury.

1255
00:51:07,185 --> 00:51:08,394
When I first refereed,

1256
00:51:08,395 --> 00:51:10,229
the real two rules there were was

1257
00:51:10,230 --> 00:51:11,646
no biting and no eye gouging.

1258
00:51:11,647 --> 00:51:14,107
Everything else was allowed.

1259
00:51:14,108 --> 00:51:15,859
I was put in there by Rorian

1260
00:51:15,860 --> 00:51:18,111
not because he thought I was
gonna be this great referee.

1261
00:51:18,112 --> 00:51:20,447
He actually told me, he goes,

1262
00:51:20,448 --> 00:51:22,575
"You're not squeamish
about people getting hurt."

1263
00:51:22,576 --> 00:51:25,660
So I guess that
was my qualifying factor.

1264
00:51:25,661 --> 00:51:27,120
His corner will
probably throw the towel in.

1265
00:51:27,121 --> 00:51:28,955
The corner could stop the fight

1266
00:51:28,956 --> 00:51:30,290
by throwing in the towel,

1267
00:51:30,291 --> 00:51:31,666
or the fighter
could stop the fight

1268
00:51:31,667 --> 00:51:32,792
by tapping out,

1269
00:51:32,793 --> 00:51:34,253
but in no way

1270
00:51:34,254 --> 00:51:36,963
was the referee supposed
to stop the fight.

1271
00:51:36,964 --> 00:51:39,258
And it got to the point
where I had guys getting hurt

1272
00:51:39,259 --> 00:51:41,051
in a significant fashion,

1273
00:51:41,052 --> 00:51:44,513
and they did not have the
ability to defend themselves.

1274
00:51:44,514 --> 00:51:46,473
I was screaming
at corners to throw towels,

1275
00:51:46,474 --> 00:51:48,058
but the fighter said, "Don't
you ever throw the towel,"

1276
00:51:48,059 --> 00:51:49,851
so they're not gonna
throw the towel.

1277
00:51:49,852 --> 00:51:51,978
And now the fighter
is unconscious.

1278
00:51:51,979 --> 00:51:54,189
And I'm supposed to
just let him get hit.

1279
00:51:54,190 --> 00:51:55,274
It was ridiculous.

1280
00:51:55,275 --> 00:51:56,234
And it was to the point where

1281
00:51:56,235 --> 00:51:58,110
when it got all over with,

1282
00:51:58,111 --> 00:51:59,653
I said, "Hey, thank you very much.

1283
00:51:59,654 --> 00:52:02,114
"I will never do that again."

1284
00:52:02,115 --> 00:52:04,032
It was not sport.

1285
00:52:04,033 --> 00:52:06,201
The show itself back
then was a spectacle.

1286
00:52:06,202 --> 00:52:09,246
And as a spectacle,
it shocked the world.

1287
00:52:09,247 --> 00:52:10,330
And when it shocked the world,

1288
00:52:10,331 --> 00:52:12,165
we created a lot of critics.

1289
00:52:12,166 --> 00:52:15,043
One independently was a politician

1290
00:52:15,044 --> 00:52:16,878
who said we were
human cockfighting.

1291
00:52:16,879 --> 00:52:19,924
John McCain,
the senator from Arizona,

1292
00:52:21,676 --> 00:52:23,135
piece of dirt.

1293
00:52:23,136 --> 00:52:24,886
"It's the most brutal
thing in the world,

1294
00:52:24,887 --> 00:52:27,264
"and it needs to
stop immediately."

1295
00:52:27,265 --> 00:52:29,349
And then when he was asked
if he'd ever watched one,

1296
00:52:29,350 --> 00:52:30,643
he said no.

1297
00:52:30,644 --> 00:52:32,144
McCain can't
straighten out his elbows

1298
00:52:32,145 --> 00:52:33,687
to wipe his own ass.

1299
00:52:33,688 --> 00:52:35,855
So what's he gonna know
about mixed martial arts?

1300
00:52:35,856 --> 00:52:38,150
Don't trust a word
a politician says

1301
00:52:38,151 --> 00:52:40,486
especially when he's trying
to save you from yourself.

1302
00:52:40,487 --> 00:52:42,362
We were in
a lot of political pressure.

1303
00:52:42,363 --> 00:52:43,697
We ended up in federal court.

1304
00:52:43,698 --> 00:52:45,491
The cable networks
took us off the air,

1305
00:52:45,492 --> 00:52:47,451
with the exception of DirecTV.

1306
00:52:47,452 --> 00:52:50,287
So we went from the fastest-growing
pay-per-view in history

1307
00:52:50,288 --> 00:52:52,581
to now lucky to get 50,000 buys.

1308
00:52:52,582 --> 00:52:55,000
You can't tell me that
anything is a true sport

1309
00:52:55,001 --> 00:52:58,671
if you can kick somebody
in the balls, basically.

1310
00:52:58,672 --> 00:53:00,380
I can see you
taking deep breaths at home.

1311
00:53:00,381 --> 00:53:04,551
I saw Gary Goodridge
fighting The Pedro,

1312
00:53:04,552 --> 00:53:08,096
going in his cup,
squeezing his cojones.

1313
00:53:08,097 --> 00:53:10,223
They started realizing, "We
gotta change something here."

1314
00:53:10,224 --> 00:53:12,892
I made up a list
of 18 different rules.

1315
00:53:12,893 --> 00:53:15,145
And those 18 rules, some
of 'em were stupid rules

1316
00:53:15,146 --> 00:53:17,731
just for me to try to give fluff
to say, "Oh, you can't do this."

1317
00:53:17,732 --> 00:53:18,857
Some of 'em were good rules.

1318
00:53:18,858 --> 00:53:21,485
All these were just

1319
00:53:21,486 --> 00:53:23,236
an attempt to try to
get people to understand

1320
00:53:23,237 --> 00:53:25,405
"Yes, there's rules
involved with it,

1321
00:53:25,406 --> 00:53:27,282
"you can regulate these rules,

1322
00:53:27,283 --> 00:53:30,118
"and this is not the barbaric

1323
00:53:30,119 --> 00:53:32,037
"action that you think it is."

1324
00:53:32,038 --> 00:53:33,372
The conclusion was

1325
00:53:33,373 --> 00:53:35,248
not only you have
to put time limits

1326
00:53:35,249 --> 00:53:37,042
to control the amount of time,
which I understand and respect,

1327
00:53:37,043 --> 00:53:39,127
not what I think is
best for a real fight,

1328
00:53:39,128 --> 00:53:41,213
but it's necessary for the show.

1329
00:53:41,214 --> 00:53:42,881
The other thing is you can't

1330
00:53:42,882 --> 00:53:45,884
no longer put a huge fighter
against a little guy,

1331
00:53:45,885 --> 00:53:47,427
because
if it's a five-minute round,

1332
00:53:47,428 --> 00:53:48,762
by the time the big guy gets tired

1333
00:53:48,763 --> 00:53:49,888
the round is over.

1334
00:53:49,889 --> 00:53:52,140
So it, for me, lost its purpose

1335
00:53:52,141 --> 00:53:55,519
because it's no longer
a comparison of styles.

1336
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,270
Became a show of entertainment.

1337
00:53:57,271 --> 00:53:59,272
This is why I decide to sell
my interest in the company,

1338
00:53:59,273 --> 00:54:00,440
which I don't regret.

1339
00:54:00,441 --> 00:54:01,359
My name is Lorenzo Fertitta.

1340
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,276
I'm the UFC's chairman and CEO.

1341
00:54:03,277 --> 00:54:05,111
And to my right, of
course, is Dana White,

1342
00:54:05,112 --> 00:54:07,364
our president.

1343
00:54:07,365 --> 00:54:09,742
The greatest day in the
history of mixed martial arts

1344
00:54:09,743 --> 00:54:11,493
was the day that Dana White

1345
00:54:11,494 --> 00:54:14,287
and Lorenzo and Frank
Fertitta bought the UFC.

1346
00:54:14,288 --> 00:54:16,582
Had they not bought the UFC

1347
00:54:16,583 --> 00:54:18,208
and done what they did with it,

1348
00:54:18,209 --> 00:54:19,918
even suffering
in the beginning themselves

1349
00:54:19,919 --> 00:54:21,211
with trial and error,

1350
00:54:21,212 --> 00:54:22,713
we would not be
where we're at today,

1351
00:54:22,714 --> 00:54:24,089
the sport would be
dead in this country,

1352
00:54:24,090 --> 00:54:25,298
it would be underground,

1353
00:54:25,299 --> 00:54:26,425
we wouldn't be having
this interview,

1354
00:54:26,426 --> 00:54:28,009
and I truly believe that.

1355
00:54:28,010 --> 00:54:29,928
They are the saviors of the sport.

1356
00:54:29,929 --> 00:54:31,346
Gonna let it all go.

1357
00:54:31,347 --> 00:54:33,390
The opening of tonight's
show, the bigger...

1358
00:54:33,391 --> 00:54:34,891
Any entertainment business,

1359
00:54:34,892 --> 00:54:36,351
there has to be a balance.

1360
00:54:36,352 --> 00:54:37,686
I used to this to gyms:

1361
00:54:37,687 --> 00:54:39,187
"Hey, you need to support me, too.

1362
00:54:39,188 --> 00:54:41,523
"You can't just send
all your fighters to the UFC.

1363
00:54:41,524 --> 00:54:42,899
"You need to support us because

1364
00:54:42,900 --> 00:54:45,193
"if you only end
up with one buyer,

1365
00:54:45,194 --> 00:54:47,153
"what's that gonna
do to the industry?"

1366
00:54:47,154 --> 00:54:49,155
The league can control
the marketplace.

1367
00:54:49,156 --> 00:54:50,241
Right?

1368
00:54:54,829 --> 00:54:57,080
Bellator is
a relatively new organization

1369
00:54:57,081 --> 00:54:58,415
that started in 2008.

1370
00:54:58,416 --> 00:54:59,916
I came in in the infancy stage.

1371
00:54:59,917 --> 00:55:02,294
My first fight, the cards
were getting jumped over

1372
00:55:02,295 --> 00:55:04,588
by like high school
girls' softball games,

1373
00:55:04,589 --> 00:55:06,923
and then Scott Coker
took over in 2014,

1374
00:55:06,924 --> 00:55:08,759
who ran Strikeforce
very successfully

1375
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,302
until the UFC bought them out.

1376
00:55:10,303 --> 00:55:12,387
And now we're on this
worldwide platform of Spike.

1377
00:55:12,388 --> 00:55:15,474
Don't underestimate
the power of network television.

1378
00:55:15,475 --> 00:55:17,100
He's about
building stars and building guys

1379
00:55:17,101 --> 00:55:18,518
and building people.

1380
00:55:18,519 --> 00:55:20,186
This is a business of star power.

1381
00:55:20,187 --> 00:55:22,063
At the end of the day,
we put fighters into the cage

1382
00:55:22,064 --> 00:55:23,357
that people want to see.

1383
00:55:36,579 --> 00:55:39,247
What was Michael like as a child?

1384
00:55:39,248 --> 00:55:41,374
Wonderful. Very good.

1385
00:55:41,375 --> 00:55:43,710
Everybody like him.

1386
00:55:43,711 --> 00:55:46,672
He was friendly all the time.

1387
00:55:46,673 --> 00:55:48,381
Are you, as a family,

1388
00:55:48,382 --> 00:55:49,675
trying to help Michael

1389
00:55:49,676 --> 00:55:51,176
to get over his depression.

1390
00:55:51,177 --> 00:55:53,011
Yeah, we try whenever possible,

1391
00:55:53,012 --> 00:55:56,264
but sometimes he doesn't let you.

1392
00:55:56,265 --> 00:55:59,976
I have to drag things out of him.

1393
00:55:59,977 --> 00:56:01,728
He say, "No, Mom. "I'm okay."

1394
00:56:01,729 --> 00:56:03,062
You know.

1395
00:56:03,063 --> 00:56:07,609
I know he has gotten
to counselors,

1396
00:56:07,610 --> 00:56:10,363
but I don't know
how good they are.

1397
00:56:14,575 --> 00:56:16,494
I hate doing this.

1398
00:56:27,588 --> 00:56:29,339
Basically lie to the guy a lot,

1399
00:56:29,340 --> 00:56:30,924
because if I told
him the truth truth,

1400
00:56:30,925 --> 00:56:33,176
he would probably lock me up.

1401
00:56:33,177 --> 00:56:34,469
Are you still using the Xanax?

1402
00:56:34,470 --> 00:56:35,929
Xanax, yeah.

1403
00:56:35,930 --> 00:56:39,851
I used that a lot
over the last, like...

1404
00:56:42,395 --> 00:56:44,646
I'd say over
the last, like, month.

1405
00:56:44,647 --> 00:56:46,022
Oh, and one thing...
You say "a lot."

1406
00:56:46,023 --> 00:56:47,566
Do you mean more than two a day?

1407
00:56:47,567 --> 00:56:49,860
Yeah, more than two. Yeah.

1408
00:56:49,861 --> 00:56:51,403
I get concerned if you
say "a lot" meaning...

1409
00:56:51,404 --> 00:56:52,571
No, no, no, no...

1410
00:56:52,572 --> 00:56:54,322
That you're taking...

1411
00:56:54,323 --> 00:56:55,741
- Oh, no, no, no, no...
- No, no, not like

1412
00:56:55,742 --> 00:56:56,950
taking it to kill yourself,

1413
00:56:56,951 --> 00:56:58,368
but just taking extra pills...

1414
00:56:58,369 --> 00:57:01,413
No, like I'll take
two at the most a day,

1415
00:57:01,414 --> 00:57:04,541
and then there's
a couple days I took three.

1416
00:57:04,542 --> 00:57:06,543
And I'm dead serious when I say

1417
00:57:06,544 --> 00:57:08,503
I've never had,

1418
00:57:08,504 --> 00:57:10,714
I guess, a panic attack?

1419
00:57:10,715 --> 00:57:12,925
But I was riding, I was cycling,

1420
00:57:12,926 --> 00:57:14,760
I cycle a lot,

1421
00:57:14,761 --> 00:57:16,511
and I'm cycling this one day,

1422
00:57:16,512 --> 00:57:18,346
and I literally

1423
00:57:18,347 --> 00:57:20,432
felt like I was gonna
break down, start crying,

1424
00:57:20,433 --> 00:57:23,393
and frickin'
I just couldn't catch my breath,

1425
00:57:23,394 --> 00:57:25,812
and I was literally about to stop

1426
00:57:25,813 --> 00:57:27,230
in the middle of the ride

1427
00:57:27,231 --> 00:57:30,108
and just lay
on the side of the road.

1428
00:57:30,109 --> 00:57:31,401
That's not normal.

1429
00:57:31,402 --> 00:57:32,569
Like a panic attack?

1430
00:57:32,570 --> 00:57:34,571
Yeah, yeah, like, "Oh, my God.

1431
00:57:34,572 --> 00:57:36,531
"I'm gonna be 40 years old.

1432
00:57:36,532 --> 00:57:37,532
"What do I do?"

1433
00:57:37,533 --> 00:57:38,617
Yeah.

1434
00:57:38,618 --> 00:57:39,827
Mid-life crisis?

1435
00:57:46,041 --> 00:57:47,542
I hate traffic.

1436
00:57:47,543 --> 00:57:50,128
Just wish I could mount
cannons on this thing.

1437
00:57:50,129 --> 00:57:51,463
I'd shoot that guy.

1438
00:57:51,464 --> 00:57:54,841
I'd shoot that guy.
I'd shoot that guy.

1439
00:57:54,842 --> 00:57:56,202
I'd probably shoot that guy twice.

1440
00:57:59,889 --> 00:58:02,057
Look at you guys!

1441
00:58:04,268 --> 00:58:05,310
Hi, honey.

1442
00:58:05,311 --> 00:58:06,687
Hey.

1443
00:58:07,897 --> 00:58:09,481
Hey, babe.

1444
00:58:09,482 --> 00:58:10,607
Huh?

1445
00:58:10,608 --> 00:58:11,567
I love you, babe.

1446
00:58:11,568 --> 00:58:13,860
You got nice melons.

1447
00:58:13,861 --> 00:58:17,322
How would
you describe your marriage?

1448
00:58:17,323 --> 00:58:18,657
You know, it's marriage.

1449
00:58:18,658 --> 00:58:21,326
It's up and down.
It's constant work.

1450
00:58:21,327 --> 00:58:22,744
We've been through a lot.

1451
00:58:22,745 --> 00:58:24,663
You know, that attempted suicide

1452
00:58:24,664 --> 00:58:26,915
and kinda dealing with that.

1453
00:58:26,916 --> 00:58:28,583
And sometimes it's a challenge

1454
00:58:28,584 --> 00:58:31,586
because with that name Joker,

1455
00:58:31,587 --> 00:58:34,380
he's always got
this smile on his face

1456
00:58:34,381 --> 00:58:36,466
and constantly joking around

1457
00:58:36,467 --> 00:58:38,426
so that he doesn't have to,

1458
00:58:38,427 --> 00:58:41,095
I think, a lot of the times, face

1459
00:58:41,096 --> 00:58:42,722
his challenges inside

1460
00:58:42,723 --> 00:58:46,977
and whatever he feels that
he needs to accomplish

1461
00:58:46,978 --> 00:58:48,728
within himself.

1462
00:58:48,729 --> 00:58:49,771
How was your day?

1463
00:58:49,772 --> 00:58:50,898
Great.

1464
00:58:52,025 --> 00:58:53,566
What was great about it?

1465
00:58:53,567 --> 00:58:56,320
Just another day in paradise.

1466
00:59:02,869 --> 00:59:04,410
As a way to make extra cash,

1467
00:59:04,411 --> 00:59:06,872
fighters often make
appearances at expo events

1468
00:59:06,873 --> 00:59:10,667
and stage meet-and-greets
with their fans.

1469
00:59:10,668 --> 00:59:13,920
On a late afternoon, Joker
takes a drive to Las Vegas

1470
00:59:13,921 --> 00:59:15,882
for an MMA trivia game.

1471
00:59:19,385 --> 00:59:23,638
Tell me about
the day you attempted suicide.

1472
00:59:23,639 --> 00:59:25,306
I had my .45.

1473
00:59:25,307 --> 00:59:27,517
Put one round in the chamber.

1474
00:59:27,518 --> 00:59:30,269
I'm walking out to the car.

1475
00:59:30,270 --> 00:59:31,938
My friend Jim Arabino,

1476
00:59:31,939 --> 00:59:36,359
one of the heads at the sheriff's
department at the time.

1477
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:37,861
Nicole's got his number,

1478
00:59:37,862 --> 00:59:39,571
calls it up and says,

1479
00:59:39,572 --> 00:59:41,990
"Mike's tried to kill himself.

1480
00:59:41,991 --> 00:59:43,408
"I got the gun from him,

1481
00:59:43,409 --> 00:59:46,995
"but he's gonna
find one of you guys

1482
00:59:46,996 --> 00:59:48,914
"to shoot him."

1483
00:59:48,915 --> 00:59:51,667
He said, "I'll take care of it."

1484
00:59:52,585 --> 00:59:54,711
A sea of patrol cars

1485
00:59:54,712 --> 00:59:56,796
pull into each side.

1486
00:59:56,797 --> 00:59:58,048
Bullhorn like "Come on, man.

1487
00:59:58,049 --> 01:00:00,550
"Everybody has a bad day."

1488
01:00:00,551 --> 01:00:02,635
My phone was ringing off the hook.

1489
01:00:02,636 --> 01:00:04,137
It was Jim, and Jim's like,

1490
01:00:04,138 --> 01:00:05,388
"Don't get out of your car.

1491
01:00:05,389 --> 01:00:06,974
"Don't do anything.

1492
01:00:08,601 --> 01:00:10,853
"I'm coming there
to personally get you."

1493
01:00:19,194 --> 01:00:21,030
This little old guy.

1494
01:00:24,117 --> 01:00:26,367
Gets out of the car.

1495
01:00:26,368 --> 01:00:28,578
Officer's like, "Jim, step back."

1496
01:00:28,579 --> 01:00:30,789
And he's like, "Nope.

1497
01:00:30,790 --> 01:00:33,918
"Nope, no."

1498
01:00:35,669 --> 01:00:39,798
"Nope. I'm gonna go get my buddy.

1499
01:00:39,799 --> 01:00:41,674
"That's my friend.

1500
01:00:41,675 --> 01:00:44,552
"He's not gonna hurt me,
not gonna hurt himself."

1501
01:00:44,553 --> 01:00:48,891
He gives me a big hug.

1502
01:00:50,726 --> 01:00:52,061
Tells me he loves me.

1503
01:00:55,106 --> 01:00:57,149
Yeah, that was,

1504
01:00:57,150 --> 01:00:58,859
that was that day.

1505
01:01:01,112 --> 01:01:03,071
I get people crying in my office,

1506
01:01:03,072 --> 01:01:04,990
falling apart in the office,

1507
01:01:04,991 --> 01:01:06,491
thinking their life is over

1508
01:01:06,492 --> 01:01:08,701
'cause they've lost
a really big match.

1509
01:01:08,702 --> 01:01:10,912
I've even worried about
a few people, suicide.

1510
01:01:10,913 --> 01:01:12,330
I've worried.

1511
01:01:12,331 --> 01:01:14,415
Because they're
more prone to depression.

1512
01:01:14,416 --> 01:01:16,542
A lot of athletes
are perfectionists.

1513
01:01:16,543 --> 01:01:17,877
But the problem
with perfectionists is

1514
01:01:17,878 --> 01:01:20,172
they can drive
themselves mercilessly

1515
01:01:20,173 --> 01:01:21,589
to the point where

1516
01:01:21,590 --> 01:01:24,134
they're seeing
what's wrong all the time,

1517
01:01:24,135 --> 01:01:25,468
not what's right.

1518
01:01:25,469 --> 01:01:28,138
They have one little loss. Okay.

1519
01:01:28,139 --> 01:01:30,056
Another little loss.
Okay, another one.

1520
01:01:30,057 --> 01:01:32,517
Now by the time the third
or fourth one pops in

1521
01:01:32,518 --> 01:01:34,727
or they have one
really big, bad one,

1522
01:01:34,728 --> 01:01:36,395
people around 'em are telling 'em,

1523
01:01:36,396 --> 01:01:37,772
"You're in a slump.

1524
01:01:37,773 --> 01:01:39,899
"You're messing up;
you're going down."

1525
01:01:39,900 --> 01:01:41,484
Those negative thoughts take seed.

1526
01:01:41,485 --> 01:01:43,402
"Maybe you aren't as good
as you thought you were."

1527
01:01:43,403 --> 01:01:45,613
Negativity can be the most
powerful emotion on Earth

1528
01:01:45,614 --> 01:01:47,115
if you don't take care of it.

1529
01:01:47,116 --> 01:01:48,574
It's the highest highs,
the lowest lows.

1530
01:01:48,575 --> 01:01:50,160
You feel like Tarzan when you win,

1531
01:01:50,161 --> 01:01:52,245
and you feel like
Jane when you lose.

1532
01:01:52,246 --> 01:01:53,621
After the third loss,

1533
01:01:53,622 --> 01:01:55,165
I actually went and saw
a sports psychologist.

1534
01:01:55,166 --> 01:01:56,708
People will tell me,

1535
01:01:56,709 --> 01:01:58,292
"I look around at my
other competitors in MMA.

1536
01:01:58,293 --> 01:01:59,961
"They don't seem nervous at all."

1537
01:01:59,962 --> 01:02:02,047
And I say, "Well,

1538
01:02:02,048 --> 01:02:03,882
"how many of them do you
really know personally?

1539
01:02:03,883 --> 01:02:05,884
"If you were to really
know those people,

1540
01:02:05,885 --> 01:02:07,385
"and they were to
tell you the truth,

1541
01:02:07,386 --> 01:02:08,887
"they would probably tell you

1542
01:02:08,888 --> 01:02:10,638
"they're actually as
nervous as anybody else."

1543
01:02:10,639 --> 01:02:12,515
But there is such
a thing as bluster

1544
01:02:12,516 --> 01:02:14,851
and bravado and faking it.

1545
01:02:14,852 --> 01:02:17,937
Especially in a very macho
sport like the combat sports,

1546
01:02:17,938 --> 01:02:19,898
does anybody wanna walk
around dropping their head

1547
01:02:19,899 --> 01:02:22,025
and looking like a hangdog?

1548
01:02:22,026 --> 01:02:23,235
No way.

1549
01:02:23,236 --> 01:02:24,569
Because people are
gonna key on that

1550
01:02:24,570 --> 01:02:26,154
and use it against them.

1551
01:02:26,155 --> 01:02:28,781
So they're gonna puff up,
and they're gonna walk around

1552
01:02:28,782 --> 01:02:30,742
like they're all that
and a bag of chips,

1553
01:02:30,743 --> 01:02:32,410
because they wanna
show the illusion that

1554
01:02:32,411 --> 01:02:33,870
"I'm Superman."

1555
01:02:33,871 --> 01:02:36,330
But inside,
they could be very fearful.

1556
01:02:36,331 --> 01:02:38,250
So don't assume

1557
01:02:38,251 --> 01:02:40,126
what you see is what you get.

1558
01:02:40,127 --> 01:02:41,670
Toh-gee Wan Kenobi...

1559
01:02:43,714 --> 01:02:45,715
Did you sustain a lot of injuries

1560
01:02:45,716 --> 01:02:47,092
when you were fighting?

1561
01:02:47,093 --> 01:02:48,093
Oh, yeah.

1562
01:02:48,094 --> 01:02:49,552
Yeah.

1563
01:02:49,553 --> 01:02:52,138
But you know what?
That's part of being a man.

1564
01:02:52,139 --> 01:02:53,181
I never have been scared

1565
01:02:53,182 --> 01:02:55,433
because I like my job.

1566
01:02:55,434 --> 01:02:57,143
When I walk for the cage,

1567
01:02:57,144 --> 01:02:59,104
I smile because I'm happy.

1568
01:02:59,105 --> 01:03:00,897
I like this moment.

1569
01:03:00,898 --> 01:03:02,690
All people have fear.

1570
01:03:02,691 --> 01:03:04,317
If anyone says, "I'm not afraid

1571
01:03:04,318 --> 01:03:06,194
"of being in that fight,"

1572
01:03:06,195 --> 01:03:07,820
they're lying to you.

1573
01:03:07,821 --> 01:03:10,073
I have experienced fear
in every one of my fights.

1574
01:03:10,074 --> 01:03:12,117
There's two things
I do before my fight.

1575
01:03:12,118 --> 01:03:15,369
I throw up and I cry.

1576
01:03:15,370 --> 01:03:17,539
When I'm in the locker
room about to walk out,

1577
01:03:18,916 --> 01:03:20,875
there's a lot that
goes through my head.

1578
01:03:20,876 --> 01:03:22,627
I try not to overthink things

1579
01:03:22,628 --> 01:03:24,837
'cause that's
the worst time to do it.

1580
01:03:24,838 --> 01:03:26,214
But

1581
01:03:26,215 --> 01:03:28,258
part of me is telling me

1582
01:03:28,259 --> 01:03:30,384
I'm gonna go out
there and kill it.

1583
01:03:30,385 --> 01:03:32,762
The other part of me is saying,

1584
01:03:32,763 --> 01:03:33,763
"Oh, what if this happens?

1585
01:03:33,764 --> 01:03:35,223
"What if you lose?"

1586
01:03:35,224 --> 01:03:36,308
I think about getting
injuries all the time

1587
01:03:36,309 --> 01:03:37,850
because these girls,

1588
01:03:37,851 --> 01:03:40,019
they're not just going
in there trying to win.

1589
01:03:40,020 --> 01:03:41,813
They're trying to maim me.

1590
01:03:41,814 --> 01:03:43,773
They wanna be the one that

1591
01:03:43,774 --> 01:03:45,191
maybe they didn't beat
me but they gave me

1592
01:03:45,192 --> 01:03:46,609
a big enough gash on my face

1593
01:03:46,610 --> 01:03:50,071
where I wouldn't be able
to work in Hollywood.

1594
01:03:50,072 --> 01:03:53,241
It's not a bad thing to be scared.

1595
01:03:53,242 --> 01:03:54,742
It's a bad thing to doubt.

1596
01:03:54,743 --> 01:03:56,535
I'm full of fear
but without any doubts.

1597
01:03:56,536 --> 01:03:57,996
I got 28 stitches.

1598
01:03:57,997 --> 01:04:01,499
I shattered
this whole knuckle out here.

1599
01:04:01,500 --> 01:04:03,209
Broke the hand and
shattered the knuckle.

1600
01:04:03,210 --> 01:04:04,836
People don't understand what
it's like to have back pain

1601
01:04:04,837 --> 01:04:06,296
unless they have it.

1602
01:04:06,297 --> 01:04:08,631
They have a ruptured disc
in their lower back.

1603
01:04:08,632 --> 01:04:11,050
I went through seven years
of competition with it.

1604
01:04:11,051 --> 01:04:12,218
Eating Vicodins every day

1605
01:04:12,219 --> 01:04:13,595
just to make my pain go away.

1606
01:04:14,888 --> 01:04:16,097
Excellent kick by Rob...

1607
01:04:16,098 --> 01:04:17,307
Oh, my God!

1608
01:04:17,308 --> 01:04:18,599
His bone is gone.

1609
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:19,934
You think people are

1610
01:04:19,935 --> 01:04:20,977
drawn to violence generally?

1611
01:04:20,978 --> 01:04:22,520
Absolutely. It's in our DNA.

1612
01:04:22,521 --> 01:04:24,605
His leg's broken!
His leg's broken!

1613
01:04:24,606 --> 01:04:27,441
Dana White once said that
you could have a corner,

1614
01:04:27,442 --> 01:04:28,943
there's a tennis match,

1615
01:04:28,944 --> 01:04:30,945
soccer on that corner,
baseball game over there.

1616
01:04:30,946 --> 01:04:32,738
A fight breaks out
in the fourth corner,

1617
01:04:32,739 --> 01:04:34,991
everybody's gonna
go watch the fight.

1618
01:04:34,992 --> 01:04:36,075
It's just the way it is.

1619
01:04:36,076 --> 01:04:37,576
Everybody wants to see blood.

1620
01:04:37,577 --> 01:04:39,329
Who doesn't wanna see blood?
You know what I mean?

1621
01:04:39,330 --> 01:04:41,580
That's why they pay the tickets.
They pay to see

1622
01:04:41,581 --> 01:04:44,083
two guys in there bloody, sweaty,

1623
01:04:44,084 --> 01:04:45,751
one guy get knocked out.

1624
01:04:45,752 --> 01:04:47,045
That's what the sport is.

1625
01:04:47,046 --> 01:04:49,255
- That's it!
- He's down!

1626
01:04:49,256 --> 01:04:51,757
Is MMA brutal? Yeah, 100% it is.

1627
01:04:51,758 --> 01:04:53,926
Sometimes, especially
when I'm cornering a fight

1628
01:04:53,927 --> 01:04:55,720
and I'm watching these guys
hit and kick each other,

1629
01:04:55,721 --> 01:04:57,305
I'm like, "Shit! I gotta do this?"

1630
01:04:57,306 --> 01:04:58,806
"That's pretty brutal in there."

1631
01:04:58,807 --> 01:05:00,808
It's very barbaric.
I'm not denying it.

1632
01:05:00,809 --> 01:05:02,018
That's the problem,

1633
01:05:02,019 --> 01:05:03,102
is that other guys try to deny it.

1634
01:05:03,103 --> 01:05:04,770
It's not a form of entertainment

1635
01:05:04,771 --> 01:05:06,356
that is made for everybody.

1636
01:05:06,357 --> 01:05:08,983
We're willingly putting
ourselves through this

1637
01:05:08,984 --> 01:05:10,985
to see who's the best
in the world, you know?

1638
01:05:10,986 --> 01:05:12,528
It really poses the question:

1639
01:05:12,529 --> 01:05:13,863
What do you want to do?

1640
01:05:13,864 --> 01:05:15,114
Do you want to take
a chance and risk

1641
01:05:15,115 --> 01:05:16,699
getting knocked out!

1642
01:05:16,700 --> 01:05:18,284
Some critics still argue

1643
01:05:18,285 --> 01:05:19,785
that the sport is too cruel

1644
01:05:19,786 --> 01:05:21,414
and has no place
in modern society.

1645
01:05:23,290 --> 01:05:25,791
I recognize it's
a tremendously popular sport,

1646
01:05:25,792 --> 01:05:28,127
but what point
in a civilized society

1647
01:05:28,128 --> 01:05:29,379
do we draw the line

1648
01:05:29,380 --> 01:05:31,923
on violence-inducing sports?

1649
01:05:31,924 --> 01:05:35,968
And I think the whole
concept of the cage

1650
01:05:35,969 --> 01:05:37,970
is also rather disturbing.

1651
01:05:37,971 --> 01:05:39,265
We all have brain damage.

1652
01:05:40,599 --> 01:05:41,974
You don't get
into this, thinking like

1653
01:05:41,975 --> 01:05:43,226
"Oh, I'm gonna be fine."

1654
01:05:43,227 --> 01:05:44,685
We're gonna get lacerations,

1655
01:05:44,686 --> 01:05:48,273
but lacerations are
not a severe injury.

1656
01:05:48,274 --> 01:05:49,648
It gets sutured together,

1657
01:05:49,649 --> 01:05:50,942
and the guy is gonna be fine.

1658
01:05:50,943 --> 01:05:52,568
Hematomas where we have swelling,

1659
01:05:52,569 --> 01:05:53,986
it's gonna go down.

1660
01:05:53,987 --> 01:05:57,990
The things that we
really try to mitigate

1661
01:05:57,991 --> 01:05:59,909
is that concussion.

1662
01:05:59,910 --> 01:06:01,953
We talk to
a lot of former fighters

1663
01:06:01,954 --> 01:06:05,415
who are not all there,
you know, mentally.

1664
01:06:05,416 --> 01:06:07,959
How do you feel about that?

1665
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:09,128
That's life.

1666
01:06:18,678 --> 01:06:20,388
Good morning.

1667
01:06:20,389 --> 01:06:21,806
I'm Gary Goodridge.

1668
01:06:21,807 --> 01:06:23,057
Okay, come on over.

1669
01:06:23,058 --> 01:06:26,145
Have a seat and they'll call you.

1670
01:06:29,106 --> 01:06:30,982
Many injuries
leave a permanent mark

1671
01:06:30,983 --> 01:06:33,901
on a fighter's physical
and emotional being.

1672
01:06:33,902 --> 01:06:35,611
We're gonna go
ahead and have you sign in

1673
01:06:35,612 --> 01:06:37,113
right here.

1674
01:06:37,114 --> 01:06:38,490
And then they got one more
form for you to sign...

1675
01:06:38,491 --> 01:06:40,241
I already did this, didn't I?

1676
01:06:40,242 --> 01:06:42,160
Gary Goodridge
is a retired fighter

1677
01:06:42,161 --> 01:06:45,788
that has competed in both
boxing and mixed martial arts.

1678
01:06:45,789 --> 01:06:49,125
A veteran of the infamous
Pride and K-1 fighting leagues,

1679
01:06:49,126 --> 01:06:51,919
he shows the scars
of numerous battles

1680
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,255
both mentally and physically.

1681
01:06:54,256 --> 01:06:58,092
I became the boxing
champ of Canada with

1682
01:06:58,093 --> 01:07:00,928
eight months of...

1683
01:07:00,929 --> 01:07:02,263
from the time I walked in the gym

1684
01:07:02,264 --> 01:07:03,848
to the time I was champion.

1685
01:07:03,849 --> 01:07:07,393
And then I had my fight
with the best in Canada

1686
01:07:07,394 --> 01:07:09,603
to face the best
in the United States.

1687
01:07:09,604 --> 01:07:12,190
And I fought
this guy David Bostice

1688
01:07:12,191 --> 01:07:13,858
in Florida.

1689
01:07:13,859 --> 01:07:15,609
And man, that was,

1690
01:07:15,610 --> 01:07:17,653
that was the first
concussion I ever had.

1691
01:07:17,654 --> 01:07:20,072
I won the first round.

1692
01:07:20,073 --> 01:07:23,201
The second round was
probably about even.

1693
01:07:23,202 --> 01:07:26,454
And the third round,
I don't remember at all.

1694
01:07:26,455 --> 01:07:28,289
The purpose of this study

1695
01:07:28,290 --> 01:07:30,916
is to help us identify brain
injury in professional fighters

1696
01:07:30,917 --> 01:07:34,003
and to create testing
to help better treat it.

1697
01:07:34,004 --> 01:07:36,214
'Cause, you know, for concussions

1698
01:07:36,215 --> 01:07:39,467
the diagnosis is not
quite that clear.

1699
01:07:39,468 --> 01:07:41,886
So this will help create testing

1700
01:07:41,887 --> 01:07:43,513
which will help
catch that earlier.

1701
01:07:43,514 --> 01:07:46,098
My coach, he told me,
"Gary, I can't come with you,

1702
01:07:46,099 --> 01:07:47,183
"'cause I can't afford it,

1703
01:07:47,184 --> 01:07:48,809
"but after the fight,

1704
01:07:48,810 --> 01:07:51,896
"right after the fight,
I want you to call me."

1705
01:07:51,897 --> 01:07:53,565
After the fight,

1706
01:07:53,566 --> 01:07:55,441
the only thing I could
remember is "I gotta call Norm.

1707
01:07:55,442 --> 01:07:57,193
"I gotta call Norm.
I gotta call Norm."

1708
01:07:57,194 --> 01:07:58,694
My brain didn't
know anything else.

1709
01:07:58,695 --> 01:08:00,779
I didn't know where I was,
what I was doing.

1710
01:08:00,780 --> 01:08:02,407
The only thing I remember is,

1711
01:08:02,408 --> 01:08:04,116
"I gotta call Norm.
I gotta call Norm."

1712
01:08:04,117 --> 01:08:06,118
So I told everybody,
"I gotta call Norm."

1713
01:08:06,119 --> 01:08:07,703
I told everybody who was
listening, "I gotta call Norm.

1714
01:08:07,704 --> 01:08:09,121
"I gotta call Norm."

1715
01:08:09,122 --> 01:08:10,706
And we went to the
phone, and I called Norm.

1716
01:08:10,707 --> 01:08:12,708
He says, "How you doing?"
I say, "I don't know."

1717
01:08:12,709 --> 01:08:15,836
Said, "Did you win?"
I said, "Win what?"

1718
01:08:15,837 --> 01:08:17,255
"You fought; did you win?"

1719
01:08:17,256 --> 01:08:19,673
He said, "Put somebody
else on the phone."

1720
01:08:19,674 --> 01:08:22,801
And, uh... Sorry.

1721
01:08:22,802 --> 01:08:25,971
And I put somebody
else on the phone, and

1722
01:08:25,972 --> 01:08:27,139
that's when he decided,

1723
01:08:27,140 --> 01:08:28,974
that's when he said,

1724
01:08:28,975 --> 01:08:31,603
he told them to take
me to the hospital.

1725
01:08:31,604 --> 01:08:34,313
And, uh... I'm sorry.

1726
01:08:34,314 --> 01:08:36,148
I'm a little emotional because,

1727
01:08:36,149 --> 01:08:38,234
just 'cause

1728
01:08:38,235 --> 01:08:39,693
that's when he...

1729
01:08:39,694 --> 01:08:42,154
Nobody around me knew that I was,

1730
01:08:42,155 --> 01:08:43,322
that I was messed up.

1731
01:08:43,323 --> 01:08:45,617
There you go.

1732
01:08:45,618 --> 01:08:47,034
Side effects are

1733
01:08:47,035 --> 01:08:50,496
mental lapse,

1734
01:08:50,497 --> 01:08:52,164
forgetfulness,

1735
01:08:52,165 --> 01:08:53,292
the speech,

1736
01:08:54,627 --> 01:08:56,043
aggression.

1737
01:08:56,044 --> 01:08:58,421
So in your career,

1738
01:08:58,422 --> 01:09:00,548
do you have any sense of
how many concussions and

1739
01:09:00,549 --> 01:09:01,882
things you've had?

1740
01:09:01,883 --> 01:09:05,470
I had over 14.
Over 14 concussions.

1741
01:09:05,471 --> 01:09:07,846
- That you know of.
- Yeah, that I know of.

1742
01:09:07,847 --> 01:09:10,224
We've been very fortunate
to have funding for this study

1743
01:09:10,225 --> 01:09:13,436
by the major promoters, the
UFC and Bellator, boxing.

1744
01:09:13,437 --> 01:09:15,896
And this allows us to really
do the work we're doing.

1745
01:09:15,897 --> 01:09:17,607
All these organizations
really truly

1746
01:09:17,608 --> 01:09:19,275
have an interest
in the safety of the sport,

1747
01:09:19,276 --> 01:09:21,527
and hopefully,
as our findings come out,

1748
01:09:21,528 --> 01:09:24,029
it will be useful to the sport,
not only of MMA

1749
01:09:24,030 --> 01:09:25,281
but our society at large,

1750
01:09:25,282 --> 01:09:26,824
including military
and other people

1751
01:09:26,825 --> 01:09:28,242
that are exposed to head trauma.

1752
01:09:28,243 --> 01:09:30,202
It all worked on
being knocked out.

1753
01:09:30,203 --> 01:09:31,745
When you see somebody pow!

1754
01:09:31,746 --> 01:09:33,623
He's knocked out,
drops on the floor.

1755
01:09:33,624 --> 01:09:35,207
Their eyes roll in
the back of their head

1756
01:09:35,208 --> 01:09:37,042
and they don't wake
up for two minutes.

1757
01:09:37,043 --> 01:09:38,920
Everybody sees it, "Wow!"

1758
01:09:40,046 --> 01:09:41,589
Cheering in the stands

1759
01:09:41,590 --> 01:09:42,549
and everybody getting up.

1760
01:09:42,550 --> 01:09:43,882
And it's a good fight,

1761
01:09:43,883 --> 01:09:45,593
and they're shaking
the guy's hand,

1762
01:09:45,594 --> 01:09:47,720
and everything's going on.

1763
01:09:47,721 --> 01:09:49,598
And really the concern

1764
01:09:51,057 --> 01:09:52,975
that everybody don't see

1765
01:09:52,976 --> 01:09:55,394
is the damage being
done to this individual.

1766
01:09:55,395 --> 01:10:00,358
And with every applause,

1767
01:10:00,359 --> 01:10:03,194
there's just as much
downward spiral.

1768
01:10:03,195 --> 01:10:05,821
And so is the UFC and Bellator

1769
01:10:05,822 --> 01:10:07,281
and all the rest of
them want it out?

1770
01:10:07,282 --> 01:10:09,367
Hell, no. Of course they don't.

1771
01:10:09,368 --> 01:10:10,993
Because that sells tickets.

1772
01:10:10,994 --> 01:10:13,078
When you see somebody
gets knocked out,

1773
01:10:13,079 --> 01:10:14,455
when you see this happens,

1774
01:10:14,456 --> 01:10:16,374
that sells tickets.

1775
01:10:16,375 --> 01:10:17,542
And because it sells tickets

1776
01:10:17,543 --> 01:10:21,379
and it sells to the public,

1777
01:10:21,380 --> 01:10:22,464
why stop it?

1778
01:10:23,632 --> 01:10:25,467
You know?

1779
01:10:28,303 --> 01:10:29,845
All but one state

1780
01:10:29,846 --> 01:10:33,391
has accepted mixed martial
arts as a legal sport.

1781
01:10:33,392 --> 01:10:36,477
New York remains the last holdout.

1782
01:10:36,478 --> 01:10:39,021
Many fighters still dream
of fighting under the lights

1783
01:10:39,022 --> 01:10:41,023
of Madison Square Garden.

1784
01:10:41,024 --> 01:10:42,941
Anyone that
can get over watching this

1785
01:10:42,942 --> 01:10:46,278
for any extended period of time

1786
01:10:46,279 --> 01:10:48,322
has to become desensitized.

1787
01:10:48,323 --> 01:10:52,201
We regulate a lot of things
to protect our children.

1788
01:10:52,202 --> 01:10:55,871
New York City has
been a world leader

1789
01:10:55,872 --> 01:10:58,874
in arts and culture.

1790
01:10:58,875 --> 01:11:01,877
Is this the type of arts,
culture, and sports

1791
01:11:01,878 --> 01:11:03,588
that we want to be known for?

1792
01:11:03,589 --> 01:11:06,465
The owners of the UFC,
the Fertitta brothers,

1793
01:11:06,466 --> 01:11:08,676
own the Station Casinos in Nevada.

1794
01:11:08,677 --> 01:11:11,220
We want to send
a message to a Station Casino:

1795
01:11:11,221 --> 01:11:13,556
We are not second-class citizens!

1796
01:11:13,557 --> 01:11:15,266
For around 15 years or so,

1797
01:11:15,267 --> 01:11:17,268
the Station Casinos
have been battling

1798
01:11:17,269 --> 01:11:18,977
the culinary union in Nevada,

1799
01:11:18,978 --> 01:11:21,481
because the culinary union
wants them to unionize.

1800
01:11:22,899 --> 01:11:25,651
The biggest company
doing MMA is the UFC,

1801
01:11:25,652 --> 01:11:27,737
so in order to essentially
stick it to them,

1802
01:11:27,738 --> 01:11:30,030
the culinary union's
parent company,

1803
01:11:30,031 --> 01:11:33,242
they're stopping MMA from
getting legalized in New York.

1804
01:11:33,243 --> 01:11:34,660
So this has
nothing to do essentially

1805
01:11:34,661 --> 01:11:36,078
with a moral issue?

1806
01:11:36,079 --> 01:11:38,372
Nothing. Nothing to do with it.

1807
01:11:38,373 --> 01:11:40,040
Nothing to do with the sport.

1808
01:11:40,041 --> 01:11:41,626
If all these other commissions

1809
01:11:41,627 --> 01:11:45,421
from California to Nevada
to New Jersey to Florida,

1810
01:11:45,422 --> 01:11:46,714
all of them sign off on it,

1811
01:11:46,715 --> 01:11:47,881
this is a sport that would bring

1812
01:11:47,882 --> 01:11:49,467
millions of dollars to the state,

1813
01:11:49,468 --> 01:11:52,678
a state that would
sorely need that revenue.

1814
01:11:52,679 --> 01:11:54,346
Do you think
bringing MMA to New York

1815
01:11:54,347 --> 01:11:57,475
would help at all to
boost the economy?

1816
01:11:57,476 --> 01:11:59,727
I don't. I don't.

1817
01:11:59,728 --> 01:12:01,270
I don't see MMA

1818
01:12:01,271 --> 01:12:03,773
as being something
that's gonna provide jobs

1819
01:12:03,774 --> 01:12:05,566
for a great mass of Americans,

1820
01:12:05,567 --> 01:12:06,984
good middle-class jobs

1821
01:12:06,985 --> 01:12:08,902
that we need to have
in this country,

1822
01:12:08,903 --> 01:12:13,866
so I'm not much into
the economic argument for it.

1823
01:12:13,867 --> 01:12:16,327
My top issue is the injuries,

1824
01:12:16,328 --> 01:12:20,205
particularly the concussions
and related brain injuries.

1825
01:12:20,206 --> 01:12:22,708
The best study I have
seen on brain injuries

1826
01:12:22,709 --> 01:12:24,418
is coming out of Canada,

1827
01:12:24,419 --> 01:12:26,379
which raise serious questions.

1828
01:12:28,340 --> 01:12:29,632
What we really were doing

1829
01:12:29,633 --> 01:12:31,634
in the study was twofold.

1830
01:12:31,635 --> 01:12:33,886
One was just actually to document

1831
01:12:33,887 --> 01:12:36,972
the frequency of knockouts
and technical knockouts,

1832
01:12:36,973 --> 01:12:38,641
then identifying any patterns

1833
01:12:38,642 --> 01:12:40,476
associated with the injuries.

1834
01:12:40,477 --> 01:12:41,811
What we were finding

1835
01:12:41,812 --> 01:12:43,688
was that almost one
in three were either

1836
01:12:43,689 --> 01:12:45,939
a technical knockout
or a knockout.

1837
01:12:45,940 --> 01:12:47,358
They're being struck in the head

1838
01:12:47,359 --> 01:12:49,652
quite frequently
prior to that time

1839
01:12:49,653 --> 01:12:52,029
and also for a certain
number of strikes

1840
01:12:52,030 --> 01:12:54,699
after that decision or
the outcome of a knockout

1841
01:12:54,700 --> 01:12:56,033
or the match has ended.

1842
01:12:56,034 --> 01:12:57,368
How many is too many?

1843
01:12:57,369 --> 01:12:59,286
When should we stop playing?

1844
01:12:59,287 --> 01:13:01,747
And it's kind of like
this golden question

1845
01:13:01,748 --> 01:13:03,916
that really no one
has the answer to.

1846
01:13:03,917 --> 01:13:08,003
I think what
is best practice at this point

1847
01:13:08,004 --> 01:13:09,505
is to say, "Listen,

1848
01:13:09,506 --> 01:13:12,508
"if you're starting
to sustain these injuries

1849
01:13:12,509 --> 01:13:15,010
"in closer proximity to each other

1850
01:13:15,011 --> 01:13:16,929
"and they're causing
you to feel worse,

1851
01:13:16,930 --> 01:13:21,225
"you're probably not in the
best environment or sport."

1852
01:13:21,226 --> 01:13:22,976
You're always going
forward to fight.

1853
01:13:22,977 --> 01:13:24,562
You're always going
forward to fight,

1854
01:13:24,563 --> 01:13:27,022
although you've had enough
and you're ready to die.

1855
01:13:27,023 --> 01:13:29,233
Your feet are burning.
Your hands, you can't lift them.

1856
01:13:29,234 --> 01:13:31,235
"No, nothing's wrong.
Don't stop the bout."

1857
01:13:31,236 --> 01:13:32,778
Fighters will always say that

1858
01:13:32,779 --> 01:13:34,822
because you're always
chasing that rainbow.

1859
01:13:34,823 --> 01:13:36,699
It's gonna shine.
It's gonna shine.

1860
01:13:36,700 --> 01:13:39,117
If it lasts one more second,

1861
01:13:39,118 --> 01:13:40,118
you can probably win.

1862
01:13:40,119 --> 01:13:41,204
You can win.

1863
01:13:42,247 --> 01:13:43,997
I couldn't stop myself.

1864
01:13:43,998 --> 01:13:47,418
I lived by the sword, and I
basically died by the sword.

1865
01:13:47,419 --> 01:13:49,212
And do I regret it?

1866
01:13:52,131 --> 01:13:53,215
It is me.

1867
01:13:53,216 --> 01:13:55,927
It's my story, my legacy.

1868
01:13:55,928 --> 01:13:57,469
It's who I am.

1869
01:13:57,470 --> 01:13:59,221
I loved my sport.

1870
01:13:59,222 --> 01:14:00,890
I would die for my sport.

1871
01:14:00,891 --> 01:14:02,141
And

1872
01:14:03,894 --> 01:14:04,978
that's what I'm doing.

1873
01:14:23,580 --> 01:14:25,122
When I got married

1874
01:14:25,123 --> 01:14:27,040
and became a fighter,

1875
01:14:27,041 --> 01:14:29,543
I was pulled in so many
different directions,

1876
01:14:29,544 --> 01:14:31,545
and I really didn't
know how to handle it.

1877
01:14:31,546 --> 01:14:32,922
I have a career

1878
01:14:32,923 --> 01:14:35,382
that, any given moment,
can just be over.

1879
01:14:35,383 --> 01:14:37,092
So I always found
myself trying to seize

1880
01:14:37,093 --> 01:14:38,719
every opportunity that I had,

1881
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:42,556
which ended up being
the downfall in my marriage.

1882
01:14:42,557 --> 01:14:44,182
And I didn't really know how

1883
01:14:44,183 --> 01:14:46,477
bad and how hard it was gonna be

1884
01:14:46,478 --> 01:14:49,354
until

1885
01:14:49,355 --> 01:14:52,107
it set in, like "Damn, I can't,

1886
01:14:52,108 --> 01:14:54,443
"I can't see my two children

1887
01:14:54,444 --> 01:14:55,527
"that I have with her

1888
01:14:55,528 --> 01:14:57,905
"every morning when I wake up."

1889
01:14:57,906 --> 01:14:59,782
You know, I gotta go sometimes

1890
01:14:59,783 --> 01:15:01,826
a month or a few weeks
without seeing them.

1891
01:15:01,827 --> 01:15:03,410
You move us.

1892
01:15:03,411 --> 01:15:05,204
You speak to us and we listen.

1893
01:15:06,247 --> 01:15:08,500
And we give it back to you.

1894
01:15:21,220 --> 01:15:22,680
Being away from the cage

1895
01:15:22,681 --> 01:15:25,016
means no income for a fighter.

1896
01:15:25,017 --> 01:15:28,936
Luckily for Rashad, his name
still bears recognition.

1897
01:15:28,937 --> 01:15:30,604
With the UFC's help,

1898
01:15:30,605 --> 01:15:32,230
Rashad travels to Los Angeles

1899
01:15:32,231 --> 01:15:35,317
for a paid appearance
on a weekly Fox Sports show,

1900
01:15:35,318 --> 01:15:36,861
where he serves as co-anchor.

1901
01:15:36,862 --> 01:15:38,612
You and Rashad have this Fox gig,

1902
01:15:38,613 --> 01:15:40,364
but what do you think
about other fighters

1903
01:15:40,365 --> 01:15:42,700
and their opportunities
after retirement?

1904
01:15:42,701 --> 01:15:44,368
Well, there's the thing.

1905
01:15:44,369 --> 01:15:45,870
Hey, you have to think
of the future, obviously,

1906
01:15:45,871 --> 01:15:47,621
'cause the big checks
aren't gonna keep coming.

1907
01:15:47,622 --> 01:15:50,875
I've always been doing teaching
and fighting hand in hand.

1908
01:15:50,876 --> 01:15:52,125
My first two UFC checks,

1909
01:15:52,126 --> 01:15:53,544
I opened up my first
jiu-jitsu school,

1910
01:15:53,545 --> 01:15:55,004
little, modest, little school.

1911
01:15:55,005 --> 01:15:58,632
Now, 43 kids, two big
schools that are over

1912
01:15:58,633 --> 01:16:00,009
12,000 square feet.

1913
01:16:00,010 --> 01:16:01,928
Once in a while,
I'll get a gig like this.

1914
01:16:03,137 --> 01:16:04,304
And I'm whistling
to work every day.

1915
01:16:04,305 --> 01:16:05,347
I could pull this off!

1916
01:16:05,348 --> 01:16:06,390
That's all we got here, guys.

1917
01:16:06,391 --> 01:16:07,933
Back to you, K.B.

1918
01:16:07,934 --> 01:16:09,810
Dude, what's the matter with me?

1919
01:16:09,811 --> 01:16:12,063
I knew I should hit
the steam this morning.

1920
01:16:12,064 --> 01:16:14,732
He's kvetching like a hah-zuhm.

1921
01:16:14,733 --> 01:16:15,900
Look at this.

1922
01:16:15,901 --> 01:16:18,236
Look at this. Is this normal?

1923
01:16:26,870 --> 01:16:29,454
Holly.

1924
01:16:29,455 --> 01:16:31,374
I like your little bun.

1925
01:16:32,500 --> 01:16:33,584
We know that, Jon.

1926
01:16:33,585 --> 01:16:35,002
Rigorous training

1927
01:16:35,003 --> 01:16:37,713
is an everyday practice
for the champion.

1928
01:16:37,714 --> 01:16:39,840
Today, he's going
for a resistance run

1929
01:16:39,841 --> 01:16:42,676
with a close friend
and new UFC contender,

1930
01:16:42,677 --> 01:16:44,762
Holly Holm. I've done 12 before.

1931
01:16:44,763 --> 01:16:46,304
- See?
- Took me about an hour.

1932
01:16:46,305 --> 01:16:49,433
No. I already know better.

1933
01:16:49,434 --> 01:16:50,935
Holly is chasing her own dream

1934
01:16:50,936 --> 01:16:54,064
of facing off
with the champ Ronda Rousey.

1935
01:16:58,026 --> 01:17:00,779
Ready? One, two.

1936
01:17:03,073 --> 01:17:04,448
It's been crazy

1937
01:17:04,449 --> 01:17:06,700
training both of them and just

1938
01:17:06,701 --> 01:17:08,953
watching them push
each other 'cause

1939
01:17:08,954 --> 01:17:10,996
there's nothing else
like watching two champs

1940
01:17:10,997 --> 01:17:13,791
really truly thrive and
push off of each other.

1941
01:17:13,792 --> 01:17:18,130
That's what these two do.

1942
01:17:20,048 --> 01:17:21,673
Training as hard as you do,

1943
01:17:21,674 --> 01:17:24,760
do you ever worry that
somebody who's using steroids

1944
01:17:24,761 --> 01:17:26,303
can take your title away?

1945
01:17:26,304 --> 01:17:27,763
You know, like in all sports,

1946
01:17:27,764 --> 01:17:29,222
people want to get an advantage,

1947
01:17:29,223 --> 01:17:31,767
especially once millions
of dollars get involved.

1948
01:17:31,768 --> 01:17:33,310
People want to do
anything they can

1949
01:17:33,311 --> 01:17:34,687
to be the top dog.

1950
01:17:40,110 --> 01:17:41,152
Fighting means everything to me

1951
01:17:41,153 --> 01:17:42,527
and I work my tail off

1952
01:17:42,528 --> 01:17:43,821
to make my body work.

1953
01:17:43,822 --> 01:17:45,656
So if I can do it,

1954
01:17:45,657 --> 01:17:49,160
other people should be
able to figure it out, too.

1955
01:17:49,161 --> 01:17:50,786
I would call it
an epidemic at this point.

1956
01:17:50,787 --> 01:17:52,704
Now that they are trying
to clean up the sport,

1957
01:17:52,705 --> 01:17:54,999
we're starting to realize that
it's pretty ugly.

1958
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,708
I've heard fighters say that

1959
01:17:56,709 --> 01:17:59,170
60 to 90% of the
fighters in the UFC

1960
01:17:59,171 --> 01:18:00,504
are using something.

1961
01:18:00,505 --> 01:18:01,797
I'm in the business.

1962
01:18:01,798 --> 01:18:03,507
I see what's going on,
and it's insane.

1963
01:18:03,508 --> 01:18:04,925
These guys aren't going out there

1964
01:18:04,926 --> 01:18:06,551
and hitting
a baseball over a wall.

1965
01:18:06,552 --> 01:18:08,679
They're punching and kicking
each other in the face.

1966
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,223
Steroids is something
that's very real in the UFC.

1967
01:18:11,224 --> 01:18:13,433
Dan Gable, one of the greatest
wrestlers of all time,

1968
01:18:13,434 --> 01:18:14,643
said, "Once I found out

1969
01:18:14,644 --> 01:18:16,269
"that my opponent's done steroids,

1970
01:18:16,270 --> 01:18:17,646
"I knew I could beat him,"

1971
01:18:17,647 --> 01:18:19,815
'cause he didn't
have that dog in him

1972
01:18:19,816 --> 01:18:21,066
to become victorious.

1973
01:18:21,067 --> 01:18:22,359
There's no shortcuts to greatness.

1974
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:23,652
The penalties are stiff.

1975
01:18:23,653 --> 01:18:24,945
Year's suspension,

1976
01:18:24,946 --> 01:18:26,030
that's a year of not getting paid.

1977
01:18:26,031 --> 01:18:28,991
I peed positive for steroids.

1978
01:18:28,992 --> 01:18:30,367
It did affect my career.

1979
01:18:30,368 --> 01:18:32,744
You're put into
that whole category.

1980
01:18:32,745 --> 01:18:34,205
You're not no longer
your individual.

1981
01:18:34,206 --> 01:18:35,706
Now you're labeled.

1982
01:18:35,707 --> 01:18:37,332
You don't want
a father to tell his son,

1983
01:18:37,333 --> 01:18:39,251
"This is not for us.
"We shouldn't be watching this.

1984
01:18:39,252 --> 01:18:41,795
"These are just roided-up guys
beating each other up,"

1985
01:18:41,796 --> 01:18:43,172
'cause once that happens,

1986
01:18:43,173 --> 01:18:45,967
it's hard to regain that trust.

1987
01:18:48,845 --> 01:18:49,845
Look at the view.

1988
01:18:49,846 --> 01:18:51,429
Yeah, it's beautiful.

1989
01:18:51,430 --> 01:18:53,099
Spiritual, for sure.

1990
01:19:00,356 --> 01:19:02,107
We're doing the Muay Thai class.

1991
01:19:02,108 --> 01:19:03,234
This is Nadeer,

1992
01:19:03,235 --> 01:19:04,651
who's advanced.

1993
01:19:04,652 --> 01:19:06,778
He could fight professionally
if he wanted to,

1994
01:19:06,779 --> 01:19:10,866
but he's smarter
than any professional fighter

1995
01:19:10,867 --> 01:19:12,325
and got a real job

1996
01:19:12,326 --> 01:19:14,494
and makes real money

1997
01:19:14,495 --> 01:19:16,538
with, what do you call that,

1998
01:19:16,539 --> 01:19:18,456
security and

1999
01:19:18,457 --> 01:19:19,833
job stability.

2000
01:19:19,834 --> 01:19:21,169
Switch partner!

2001
01:19:24,047 --> 01:19:27,258
After months of
uncertainty and unpaid bills,

2002
01:19:27,259 --> 01:19:29,509
Joker receives news
that he will be forced

2003
01:19:29,510 --> 01:19:31,595
to close his gym.

2004
01:19:31,596 --> 01:19:33,805
He finds the strength
to tell his wife

2005
01:19:33,806 --> 01:19:35,891
that they are losing the business

2006
01:19:35,892 --> 01:19:38,852
and that the only way out
of their financial problems

2007
01:19:38,853 --> 01:19:42,065
is to restart his fighting career.

2008
01:19:44,650 --> 01:19:45,901
Michael told us

2009
01:19:45,902 --> 01:19:47,694
that he wants to get
back into fighting.

2010
01:19:47,695 --> 01:19:50,655
Oh, no, my God. I hope not.

2011
01:19:50,656 --> 01:19:52,116
So you don't want him to?

2012
01:19:52,117 --> 01:19:55,827
You know, I been
praying to God every day

2013
01:19:55,828 --> 01:19:58,747
and several times,
late in the night,

2014
01:19:58,748 --> 01:20:02,042
"Lord, please give
them a retirement,

2015
01:20:02,043 --> 01:20:03,835
"a good job."

2016
01:20:03,836 --> 01:20:05,296
He's not that old.

2017
01:20:05,297 --> 01:20:07,505
He can start all over again.

2018
01:20:07,506 --> 01:20:08,673
You know?

2019
01:20:08,674 --> 01:20:09,883
But it's his life.

2020
01:20:09,884 --> 01:20:12,136
It's his decision.

2021
01:20:12,137 --> 01:20:13,470
Do you think this business

2022
01:20:13,471 --> 01:20:15,097
is fair to the fighters?

2023
01:20:15,098 --> 01:20:16,848
No, no, no, no. Not even, no.

2024
01:20:16,849 --> 01:20:18,142
Not close.

2025
01:20:18,143 --> 01:20:19,893
The only people
really making money,

2026
01:20:19,894 --> 01:20:22,395
get that ass outta my way,

2027
01:20:22,396 --> 01:20:26,066
are like
the top three on the card.

2028
01:20:26,067 --> 01:20:28,902
Look at the UFC and
how much they bring in.

2029
01:20:28,903 --> 01:20:30,695
They're paying the fighters out

2030
01:20:30,696 --> 01:20:34,699
less than 2% of what the total is.

2031
01:20:34,700 --> 01:20:36,785
If you put in all your hours,

2032
01:20:36,786 --> 01:20:39,997
training, dieting,
all the sacrifices,

2033
01:20:39,998 --> 01:20:43,041
I guarantee you I'd fall under

2034
01:20:43,042 --> 01:20:44,417
two bucks an hour.

2035
01:20:44,418 --> 01:20:45,877
When I first started fighting,

2036
01:20:45,878 --> 01:20:48,130
I basically had to pay
for my first fight.

2037
01:20:48,131 --> 01:20:49,589
I paid $25.

2038
01:20:49,590 --> 01:20:51,175
You know.

2039
01:20:51,176 --> 01:20:52,884
Then when you walk away from it,

2040
01:20:52,885 --> 01:20:54,928
you look back and go,
"God, I'm stupid."

2041
01:20:54,929 --> 01:20:57,055
There will always be someone
that says, "What I didn't get,"

2042
01:20:57,056 --> 01:20:58,640
but it's a business
at the same time.

2043
01:20:58,641 --> 01:21:00,558
It's a league and a business.

2044
01:21:00,559 --> 01:21:01,893
And the athletes sometimes forget

2045
01:21:01,894 --> 01:21:03,520
that it's a business

2046
01:21:03,521 --> 01:21:04,896
and that the UFC
has to make money,

2047
01:21:04,897 --> 01:21:06,523
to be profitable,
to put on more shows,

2048
01:21:06,524 --> 01:21:07,899
to continue.

2049
01:21:07,900 --> 01:21:09,609
So there's a lot
of emotional feelings

2050
01:21:09,610 --> 01:21:11,403
that get mixed into the business.

2051
01:21:11,404 --> 01:21:14,489
Of course, the most money's
gonna go to the promoters.

2052
01:21:14,490 --> 01:21:16,700
The promotion, the promoters.

2053
01:21:16,701 --> 01:21:18,743
The fighters get a little piece.

2054
01:21:18,744 --> 01:21:21,205
I mean, what are you gonna do?

2055
01:21:21,206 --> 01:21:23,415
I've gotten plenty of raw deals.

2056
01:21:23,416 --> 01:21:25,500
I'm still getting
raw deals, I'm sure.

2057
01:21:25,501 --> 01:21:28,795
Especially, I did not
start off drawing the most

2058
01:21:28,796 --> 01:21:31,631
professional, upright
citizens of the world.

2059
01:21:31,632 --> 01:21:33,967
If you put on exciting
fights and you win,

2060
01:21:33,968 --> 01:21:35,510
they take good care of you.

2061
01:21:35,511 --> 01:21:37,804
2012, I retired with the UFC.

2062
01:21:37,805 --> 01:21:39,431
I got sick of getting
bullied by Dana.

2063
01:21:39,432 --> 01:21:40,932
My mind wasn't there anymore.

2064
01:21:40,933 --> 01:21:41,933
I didn't like to train.

2065
01:21:41,934 --> 01:21:43,227
I didn't like to fight.

2066
01:21:43,228 --> 01:21:45,729
I didn't like to be
around any of it.

2067
01:21:45,730 --> 01:21:48,440
I was empty.
I was a shell of a person.

2068
01:21:48,441 --> 01:21:50,901
Dana White.

2069
01:21:50,902 --> 01:21:54,196
Dana White is the
current president of the UFC.

2070
01:21:54,197 --> 01:21:55,780
Brash and opinionated,

2071
01:21:55,781 --> 01:21:58,033
his running feuds with
fighters past and present

2072
01:21:58,034 --> 01:22:00,911
have made him a lightning
rod for controversy.

2073
01:22:00,912 --> 01:22:02,454
Contrary to popular belief,

2074
01:22:02,455 --> 01:22:04,039
I really respect everybody
in this industry,

2075
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:05,874
everybody in this industry,
other promoters...

2076
01:22:05,875 --> 01:22:07,918
I give the owners
a lot of respect.

2077
01:22:07,919 --> 01:22:10,587
Dana White, he's just a face.

2078
01:22:10,588 --> 01:22:12,839
He's gained a lot of
experience along the way.

2079
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:14,216
That I gotta give him.

2080
01:22:14,217 --> 01:22:16,551
He semi-knows what
he's talking about now.

2081
01:22:16,552 --> 01:22:18,845
He's one of those guys that
if you piss him off,

2082
01:22:18,846 --> 01:22:20,847
then he's just turn
his back on you

2083
01:22:20,848 --> 01:22:24,142
until you tap out to him.

2084
01:22:24,143 --> 01:22:27,520
My free agency period
was very political

2085
01:22:27,521 --> 01:22:28,813
in nature.

2086
01:22:28,814 --> 01:22:32,109
And obviously with one Dana White,

2087
01:22:32,110 --> 01:22:33,735
he's told so many lies about me,

2088
01:22:33,736 --> 01:22:35,695
and because he has
the largest mouthpiece,

2089
01:22:35,696 --> 01:22:37,364
a lot of people believe
what he's saying

2090
01:22:37,365 --> 01:22:40,117
even though it is very
far from what the truth is.

2091
01:22:40,118 --> 01:22:41,576
A lot of people don't like him.

2092
01:22:41,577 --> 01:22:43,954
They think that
he's mean and stuff.

2093
01:22:43,955 --> 01:22:48,041
He is absolutely passionate

2094
01:22:48,042 --> 01:22:49,918
about the UFC.

2095
01:22:49,919 --> 01:22:51,753
He's a great businessman for UFC.

2096
01:22:51,754 --> 01:22:52,796
He's awesome.

2097
01:22:52,797 --> 01:22:54,172
He's great for the sport,

2098
01:22:54,173 --> 01:22:56,716
making everybody know who it is.

2099
01:22:56,717 --> 01:22:59,094
He turned himself into
a celebrity out of it.

2100
01:22:59,095 --> 01:23:00,929
The UFC was sold
for $4 billion, right?

2101
01:23:00,930 --> 01:23:02,514
So since there's
so much money to it,

2102
01:23:02,515 --> 01:23:03,848
that's a fantastic thing

2103
01:23:03,849 --> 01:23:05,183
'cause people like
myself can earn a living

2104
01:23:05,184 --> 01:23:06,518
from the sport
of mixed martial arts

2105
01:23:06,519 --> 01:23:08,353
where, say, you
couldn't in wrestling.

2106
01:23:08,354 --> 01:23:11,148
But at the same time,
there's a very negative side

2107
01:23:11,149 --> 01:23:12,983
'cause people are greedy, sneaky,

2108
01:23:12,984 --> 01:23:15,110
and every other negative term
you wanna throw out there.

2109
01:23:15,111 --> 01:23:17,070
They've come to a point where now,

2110
01:23:17,071 --> 01:23:21,950
now meaning within the
last year, two years maybe,

2111
01:23:21,951 --> 01:23:24,453
that they're,

2112
01:23:24,454 --> 01:23:27,122
they're respectfully
taking care of the fighters

2113
01:23:27,123 --> 01:23:28,415
adequately.

2114
01:23:28,416 --> 01:23:29,749
People get excited like,

2115
01:23:29,750 --> 01:23:31,209
"Oh, I'm gonna make
$20,000 in this fight."

2116
01:23:31,210 --> 01:23:33,170
Well, $20,000 is
a fart in a windstorm.

2117
01:23:33,171 --> 01:23:35,130
And I'm not saying that

2118
01:23:35,131 --> 01:23:37,007
to be like, "Oh, I am
better than everyone.

2119
01:23:37,008 --> 01:23:38,758
"I have way more
money than everyone."

2120
01:23:38,759 --> 01:23:40,427
No, just, you know,

2121
01:23:40,428 --> 01:23:42,679
in this world, $20,000,
are you kidding me?

2122
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:44,181
There's very
few people that actually

2123
01:23:44,182 --> 01:23:45,849
have something when
it's all said and done.

2124
01:23:45,850 --> 01:23:47,225
I look at so many athletes today,

2125
01:23:47,226 --> 01:23:49,853
especially on the men's side.

2126
01:23:49,854 --> 01:23:51,355
They have nothing.

2127
01:23:51,356 --> 01:23:55,025
They have spent their life
in this career, and

2128
01:23:55,026 --> 01:23:56,985
they haven't saved money,

2129
01:23:56,986 --> 01:24:00,322
they haven't done things, and

2130
01:24:00,323 --> 01:24:01,781
they are out there with nothing.

2131
01:24:01,782 --> 01:24:03,408
So many guys continue to fight

2132
01:24:03,409 --> 01:24:05,118
because they have to
make that paycheck

2133
01:24:05,119 --> 01:24:06,286
because they already
spent all the money

2134
01:24:06,287 --> 01:24:07,662
that they already had.

2135
01:24:07,663 --> 01:24:10,123
Me, I can literally
say that I've put away

2136
01:24:10,124 --> 01:24:14,211
90% of the money that I've made
in the last four years.

2137
01:24:14,212 --> 01:24:15,462
Some athletes are fine,

2138
01:24:15,463 --> 01:24:16,713
and they've saved their money.

2139
01:24:16,714 --> 01:24:18,131
Some spent the money

2140
01:24:18,132 --> 01:24:19,674
as if it was always
gonna be replenished

2141
01:24:19,675 --> 01:24:21,134
It's tough to see
these guys go through it,

2142
01:24:21,135 --> 01:24:22,553
but it's just part of life.

2143
01:24:22,554 --> 01:24:24,471
It's a rough sport.
It's the hurt business.

2144
01:24:24,472 --> 01:24:27,765
They don't call it
the hurt business for

2145
01:24:27,766 --> 01:24:29,017
no reason.

2146
01:24:29,018 --> 01:24:30,310
You gotta weather a lot of storms

2147
01:24:30,311 --> 01:24:31,936
inside the cage, outside the cage.

2148
01:24:31,937 --> 01:24:33,855
I don't care if you're paid
a million dollars to fight

2149
01:24:33,856 --> 01:24:35,065
or 10,000 to fight.

2150
01:24:35,066 --> 01:24:36,483
It's the hardest thing to do.

2151
01:24:36,484 --> 01:24:38,443
It's the loneliest sport
in the world.

2152
01:24:38,444 --> 01:24:40,195
Once you've left your team
and walked in that cage,

2153
01:24:40,196 --> 01:24:41,696
and that door closes,

2154
01:24:41,697 --> 01:24:44,241
it's only you, brother. That's it.

2155
01:24:44,242 --> 01:24:45,576
And they deserve
every bit they can.

2156
01:24:45,577 --> 01:24:47,412
I want all of 'em
to be millionaires.

2157
01:24:59,173 --> 01:25:00,257
Have you studied

2158
01:25:00,258 --> 01:25:02,050
Daniel Cormier's previous fights?

2159
01:25:02,051 --> 01:25:04,928
Yes, I've watched his whole career

2160
01:25:04,929 --> 01:25:06,846
maybe six, seven times now.

2161
01:25:06,847 --> 01:25:09,141
Just from start to finish.

2162
01:25:10,935 --> 01:25:14,062
I've had some opponents
where I've watched them

2163
01:25:14,063 --> 01:25:15,522
50 times.

2164
01:25:15,523 --> 01:25:17,399
And so when I get
into the Octagon,

2165
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:20,111
I kinda feel like
I already know him.

2166
01:25:27,243 --> 01:25:28,577
Freshman year, I got invited

2167
01:25:28,578 --> 01:25:30,828
to my first pay-per-view fight.

2168
01:25:30,829 --> 01:25:33,874
Chuck Liddell versus
Randy Couture.

2169
01:25:35,627 --> 01:25:38,002
All these people
were just so obsessed

2170
01:25:38,003 --> 01:25:39,546
with what was going
on on the screen.

2171
01:25:39,547 --> 01:25:41,632
People were looking
at this Chuck Liddell guy

2172
01:25:41,633 --> 01:25:43,426
as if he was a god.

2173
01:25:45,177 --> 01:25:48,930
The most memorable
fight was my UFC debut.

2174
01:25:48,931 --> 01:25:51,349
I watched the UFC
as a fan for so many years,

2175
01:25:51,350 --> 01:25:55,646
and to finally hear Bruce
Buffer's famous voice say,

2176
01:25:55,647 --> 01:25:59,441
"And the winner
is Jonny 'Bones' Jones!"

2177
01:25:59,442 --> 01:26:00,651
And to lift my hand up

2178
01:26:00,652 --> 01:26:02,277
and the people cheer.

2179
01:26:02,278 --> 01:26:04,904
I'm like, "Oh, my God,
I'm on TV right now.

2180
01:26:04,905 --> 01:26:07,115
"I just won a fight in the UFC."

2181
01:26:07,116 --> 01:26:10,702
Like, "It's so obtainable.

2182
01:26:10,703 --> 01:26:14,247
"If I made it here,
why not be the best?"

2183
01:26:14,248 --> 01:26:15,540
I've been fighting
some of the most

2184
01:26:15,541 --> 01:26:17,292
dangerous men on the planet.

2185
01:26:17,293 --> 01:26:19,586
Daniel Cormier is
an amazing athlete,

2186
01:26:19,587 --> 01:26:21,296
but I've been really
fortunate to make

2187
01:26:21,297 --> 01:26:23,756
a lot of great fighters
not look so great.

2188
01:26:23,757 --> 01:26:25,342
I'm a winner, he's a winner,

2189
01:26:25,343 --> 01:26:28,052
and one of us is
gonna have to give in.

2190
01:26:28,053 --> 01:26:31,432
But I don't think
it's gonna be me.

2191
01:27:07,134 --> 01:27:09,302
Closing in on full recovery,

2192
01:27:09,303 --> 01:27:12,222
Rashad suffers
a devastating setback,

2193
01:27:12,223 --> 01:27:15,933
as his reconstructed
knee gives out.

2194
01:27:15,934 --> 01:27:18,730
A second surgery is now imminent.

2195
01:27:20,231 --> 01:27:24,192
I had an offer to fight.

2196
01:27:24,193 --> 01:27:26,152
I felt a little pop,

2197
01:27:26,153 --> 01:27:27,487
and I was like, "Damn,

2198
01:27:27,488 --> 01:27:28,488
"did my knee just go out?"

2199
01:27:28,489 --> 01:27:30,281
I'm just like, "No."

2200
01:27:30,282 --> 01:27:31,743
And sure enough,

2201
01:27:33,118 --> 01:27:35,286
the ACL snapped.

2202
01:27:35,287 --> 01:27:36,663
Man, I cried.

2203
01:27:36,664 --> 01:27:38,916
I cried; I was frustrated.

2204
01:27:41,293 --> 01:27:44,212
I'd never been injured before.

2205
01:27:44,213 --> 01:27:46,256
And I never thought
this'd happen to me,

2206
01:27:46,257 --> 01:27:48,342
'cause it just seemed like

2207
01:27:49,552 --> 01:27:51,553
not too long ago

2208
01:27:51,554 --> 01:27:53,304
that I was

2209
01:27:53,305 --> 01:27:55,223
just starting this sport.

2210
01:27:55,224 --> 01:27:58,935
Like I was
the new kid on the block.

2211
01:27:58,936 --> 01:28:02,439
And now,
I'm the old guy on the block.

2212
01:28:02,440 --> 01:28:04,190
Have you had
anything to eat or drink...

2213
01:28:04,191 --> 01:28:07,235
It's really just put me
mentally in a bad place, like

2214
01:28:07,236 --> 01:28:10,989
"Is this it?
Is this how an athlete dies?"

2215
01:28:14,034 --> 01:28:15,452
I don't know when I'm gonna fight.

2216
01:28:15,453 --> 01:28:16,787
I don't know

2217
01:28:16,788 --> 01:28:18,455
if the UFC's gonna stand behind me

2218
01:28:18,456 --> 01:28:21,207
and give me another great fight or

2219
01:28:21,208 --> 01:28:23,836
have a chance to headline
a great card again.

2220
01:28:25,296 --> 01:28:27,297
This is definitely a sport of

2221
01:28:27,298 --> 01:28:29,090
"What have you done lately?"

2222
01:28:29,091 --> 01:28:31,551
I'm missing too much action.

2223
01:28:31,552 --> 01:28:32,845
People forget.

2224
01:28:37,933 --> 01:28:39,393
Should I go in?

2225
01:28:46,358 --> 01:28:48,110
I don't wanna go out like this.

2226
01:28:51,155 --> 01:28:54,115
So ACL's torn completely?

2227
01:28:54,116 --> 01:28:56,243
Injured on the sideline.

2228
01:29:01,081 --> 01:29:05,335
Forever wondering what
it would've been like if

2229
01:29:05,336 --> 01:29:08,797
I could've been
able to get healthy

2230
01:29:08,798 --> 01:29:11,091
just one more time.

2231
01:30:00,307 --> 01:30:03,685
Once only open
to the biggest boxing events,

2232
01:30:03,686 --> 01:30:06,020
the MGM Grand in Las Vegas

2233
01:30:06,021 --> 01:30:08,899
is now a major attraction for MMA.

2234
01:30:08,900 --> 01:30:10,608
McMann countered
with a nice right hand there,

2235
01:30:10,609 --> 01:30:12,360
caught her.

2236
01:30:12,361 --> 01:30:14,571
Sara finally faces Miesha Tate

2237
01:30:14,572 --> 01:30:16,489
with millions watching
her skill in action.

2238
01:30:16,490 --> 01:30:17,908
Better watch out.

2239
01:30:17,909 --> 01:30:19,450
As Joe talked about,
that big right hand

2240
01:30:19,451 --> 01:30:21,411
for the Olympian.

2241
01:30:21,412 --> 01:30:22,995
Oh, she hurt her there, Mike.

2242
01:30:22,996 --> 01:30:24,163
She's pushing forward.

2243
01:30:24,164 --> 01:30:25,540
Miesha's in trouble early.

2244
01:30:25,541 --> 01:30:28,543
Big, powerful punches
by Sara McMann.

2245
01:30:28,544 --> 01:30:30,962
After dominating
the first round of the fight,

2246
01:30:30,963 --> 01:30:33,464
Sara begins to lose on the ground,

2247
01:30:33,465 --> 01:30:36,551
as Miesha catches her
in a guillotine choke,

2248
01:30:36,552 --> 01:30:39,053
a move the calculating
Sara did not expect.

2249
01:30:39,054 --> 01:30:40,805
Those are hard elbows to the face

2250
01:30:40,806 --> 01:30:42,473
with the point of the elbow.

2251
01:30:42,474 --> 01:30:45,560
She has got to get up.

2252
01:30:45,561 --> 01:30:47,604
The fight ends
and they go to the scorecards.

2253
01:30:47,605 --> 01:30:49,355
Majority decision,

2254
01:30:49,356 --> 01:30:52,985
Miesha 'Cupcake' Tate!

2255
01:31:14,506 --> 01:31:17,341
After months
of training and trash-talking,

2256
01:31:17,342 --> 01:31:19,761
it's finally on.

2257
01:31:19,762 --> 01:31:21,345
Nice knee to the body by Jon.

2258
01:31:21,346 --> 01:31:22,639
Kick to the body.

2259
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:23,641
Caught.

2260
01:31:25,768 --> 01:31:27,937
Good uppercut by Cormier.

2261
01:31:29,605 --> 01:31:31,606
The fight seems even at first.

2262
01:31:31,607 --> 01:31:33,441
- Both men...
- Elbow in tight.

2263
01:31:33,442 --> 01:31:36,193
Motivated by the other's verbiage.

2264
01:31:36,194 --> 01:31:39,489
Cormier appears
to be strong and aggressive.

2265
01:31:39,490 --> 01:31:40,573
Stop.

2266
01:31:40,574 --> 01:31:41,699
Oh, the first eye poke.

2267
01:31:41,700 --> 01:31:43,910
Stop.

2268
01:31:43,911 --> 01:31:46,038
That's what a lot of
people are worried about.

2269
01:31:48,499 --> 01:31:51,042
But as the fight progresses,

2270
01:31:51,043 --> 01:31:53,461
Jon puts his skills
on full display.

2271
01:31:53,462 --> 01:31:55,005
He's looking
to take him down again.

2272
01:31:55,006 --> 01:31:56,006
And he does.

2273
01:31:56,007 --> 01:31:57,215
Wow.

2274
01:31:59,176 --> 01:32:01,177
Momentum

2275
01:32:01,178 --> 01:32:04,139
is rapidly rising
in the corner of Jones.

2276
01:32:07,601 --> 01:32:10,687
It's looked at as
a moral victory for Cormier...

2277
01:32:10,688 --> 01:32:11,730
There it is!

2278
01:32:14,025 --> 01:32:18,653
But Jon Jones springs
right back up to his feet.

2279
01:32:18,654 --> 01:32:19,821
As one of the few fighters

2280
01:32:19,822 --> 01:32:21,657
to take Jon the distance.

2281
01:32:25,577 --> 01:32:26,953
Whew!

2282
01:32:26,954 --> 01:32:29,455
Perhaps maybe all the bad blood

2283
01:32:29,456 --> 01:32:31,124
has not boiled over.

2284
01:32:33,836 --> 01:32:36,671
The winner
by unanimous decision...

2285
01:32:36,672 --> 01:32:38,673
Jon has another title defense

2286
01:32:38,674 --> 01:32:41,093
to add to his flawless record.

2287
01:32:50,352 --> 01:32:52,478
Three o'clock in the morning,

2288
01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:54,564
things get a little
bit outta control.

2289
01:32:54,565 --> 01:32:57,400
Right now, I would describe
my current position in the UFC

2290
01:32:57,401 --> 01:32:58,985
a pretty darn good one.

2291
01:32:58,986 --> 01:33:00,778
A pretty good one.

2292
01:33:00,779 --> 01:33:02,822
Amongst the masses,
I'm considered the number-one

2293
01:33:02,823 --> 01:33:05,867
pound-for-pound fighter
in the world right now.

2294
01:33:05,868 --> 01:33:07,284
Working at something so hard

2295
01:33:07,285 --> 01:33:08,703
to becoming the best
in the world at it,

2296
01:33:08,704 --> 01:33:10,956
it's a phenomenal feeling.

2297
01:33:13,918 --> 01:33:15,292
Derek, why you punching like this?

2298
01:33:15,293 --> 01:33:17,088
Look at his eyes, too.

2299
01:33:19,048 --> 01:33:21,424
- Come on, dude.
- Wow.

2300
01:33:21,425 --> 01:33:23,927
Feliz said
he couldn't go 25 seconds.

2301
01:33:23,928 --> 01:33:25,511
Ooh!

2302
01:33:25,512 --> 01:33:26,679
Why you gotta
put me on blast like that?

2303
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:28,514
'Cause I can!

2304
01:33:28,515 --> 01:33:30,182
It's a tough loss.

2305
01:33:30,183 --> 01:33:31,684
A defeat that will
lower her ranking

2306
01:33:31,685 --> 01:33:34,645
and potential salary
for the next bout.

2307
01:33:34,646 --> 01:33:38,149
UFC may even terminate
her contract.

2308
01:33:38,150 --> 01:33:40,610
This is the reality
of the fight game.

2309
01:33:40,611 --> 01:33:42,653
When you realized that you lost,

2310
01:33:42,654 --> 01:33:45,656
what was going through your mind?

2311
01:33:45,657 --> 01:33:47,867
I wasn't upset

2312
01:33:47,868 --> 01:33:49,493
hearing the decision.

2313
01:33:49,494 --> 01:33:52,830
I was upset during
the third round that I didn't

2314
01:33:52,831 --> 01:33:54,373
get back to a good position,

2315
01:33:54,374 --> 01:33:57,501
and that's on me, so I'm not gonna

2316
01:33:57,502 --> 01:34:00,046
be upset at judges
for something that's

2317
01:34:00,047 --> 01:34:01,505
my job to take care of.

2318
01:34:01,506 --> 01:34:04,383
I'm always looking
at my own fighting,

2319
01:34:04,384 --> 01:34:08,220
and win or lose,
even if it's a dominant fight,

2320
01:34:08,221 --> 01:34:09,472
I'll go out there
and find something

2321
01:34:09,473 --> 01:34:11,891
that I need to get better at.

2322
01:34:11,892 --> 01:34:15,019
My daughter's kindergarten class.

2323
01:34:15,020 --> 01:34:16,646
Aw.

2324
01:34:16,647 --> 01:34:19,108
Bunch of little hand prints.

2325
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:21,484
"Win, Mom!"

2326
01:34:21,485 --> 01:34:24,361
Win.

2327
01:34:24,362 --> 01:34:25,823
"Don't give up, Sara."

2328
01:34:27,532 --> 01:34:29,785
Aw, that's really sweet.

2329
01:34:33,872 --> 01:34:35,165
Yeah.

2330
01:34:35,166 --> 01:34:36,166
Good.

2331
01:34:36,167 --> 01:34:37,541
You ready to go.

2332
01:34:37,542 --> 01:34:39,169
- Mm-hmm.
- You strong?

2333
01:34:39,170 --> 01:34:41,712
I'm ready to train.

2334
01:34:41,713 --> 01:34:43,007
Wow.

2335
01:34:45,968 --> 01:34:47,426
What are the chances

2336
01:34:47,427 --> 01:34:49,303
that Rashad might
injure his knee again?

2337
01:34:49,304 --> 01:34:51,263
There's always
a possibility of that.

2338
01:34:51,264 --> 01:34:53,390
There's no ACL that you put in

2339
01:34:53,391 --> 01:34:55,643
that can never be re-torn.

2340
01:34:55,644 --> 01:34:57,020
Otherwise, we could
just do 'em once

2341
01:34:57,021 --> 01:34:58,896
and you'd never
hear about it again.

2342
01:34:58,897 --> 01:35:02,650
So, going back to the sport
gradually, following protocol,

2343
01:35:02,651 --> 01:35:03,943
that's the best thing,

2344
01:35:03,944 --> 01:35:06,278
but Rashad,
he's like "Ready to go.

2345
01:35:06,279 --> 01:35:08,322
"I wanna go. "I wanna fight."

2346
01:35:08,323 --> 01:35:09,866
It's the attitude of the athlete.

2347
01:35:09,867 --> 01:35:12,660
But it's definitely
against medical advice.

2348
01:35:12,661 --> 01:35:15,746
You always end up with
Brett Favre, for example.

2349
01:35:15,747 --> 01:35:17,623
He had such
a great career and then

2350
01:35:17,624 --> 01:35:19,667
he just kinda played
a little bit too long

2351
01:35:19,668 --> 01:35:21,002
and then people
remember those last

2352
01:35:21,003 --> 01:35:22,503
couple seasons that he had.

2353
01:35:22,504 --> 01:35:24,922
He was injured, or he had
some bad performances.

2354
01:35:24,923 --> 01:35:28,009
I would hate for my legacy
to be tarnished because

2355
01:35:28,010 --> 01:35:30,302
I'm 37 years old, and I'm slow,

2356
01:35:30,303 --> 01:35:31,804
and I shouldn't be fighting,

2357
01:35:31,805 --> 01:35:33,525
and I'm doing it just
to collect a paycheck.

2358
01:35:35,809 --> 01:35:37,268
Do you remember the moment

2359
01:35:37,269 --> 01:35:39,812
when you decided to
retire from the sport?

2360
01:35:39,813 --> 01:35:41,147
Actually I had

2361
01:35:41,148 --> 01:35:44,400
a dinner meeting with Dana White.

2362
01:35:44,401 --> 01:35:46,569
He was worried, actually,
I was coming to tell him

2363
01:35:46,570 --> 01:35:48,946
that I wanna ask
for another fight.

2364
01:35:48,947 --> 01:35:51,323
And I was actually coming
to tell him I wanna retire.

2365
01:35:51,324 --> 01:35:52,992
First of all I
wanna thank my fans.

2366
01:35:52,993 --> 01:35:55,536
It was a tough decision for me.

2367
01:35:55,537 --> 01:35:56,662
The career of a professional

2368
01:35:56,663 --> 01:35:58,706
MMA fighter is short,

2369
01:35:58,707 --> 01:35:59,917
an average of nine years.

2370
01:36:01,210 --> 01:36:03,377
Many are forced to
retire due to injuries,

2371
01:36:03,378 --> 01:36:05,546
while countless others
are dropped by the league

2372
01:36:05,547 --> 01:36:06,923
after suffering multiple losses.

2373
01:36:06,924 --> 01:36:08,258
I love this sport.

2374
01:36:08,259 --> 01:36:10,551
I was always training
for something.

2375
01:36:10,552 --> 01:36:12,929
And then now, that's done.

2376
01:36:12,930 --> 01:36:14,180
And it's kinda weird.

2377
01:36:14,181 --> 01:36:15,639
There's people that need to stop.

2378
01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:16,891
Find another way.

2379
01:36:16,892 --> 01:36:18,559
Maybe you can create
something new.

2380
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:19,643
But they don't have the
right people around them

2381
01:36:19,644 --> 01:36:21,229
to tell them just that.

2382
01:36:21,230 --> 01:36:22,772
The fans, they're always
gonna want you to fight again.

2383
01:36:22,773 --> 01:36:24,607
They're never gonna be
happy when you retire.

2384
01:36:24,608 --> 01:36:26,984
That's a decision that
myself and Brie and my team

2385
01:36:26,985 --> 01:36:28,194
are gonna sit down and say,

2386
01:36:28,195 --> 01:36:29,612
"Hey, maybe it's
time to hang 'em up,"

2387
01:36:29,613 --> 01:36:30,947
because of health issues,

2388
01:36:30,948 --> 01:36:32,782
or maybe I just don't
wanna continue to

2389
01:36:32,783 --> 01:36:35,159
juggle family life and
fighting life, you know?

2390
01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:37,411
People talk about
"Oh, this guy should retire.

2391
01:36:37,412 --> 01:36:38,996
"This guy should retire.
He's done.

2392
01:36:38,997 --> 01:36:40,873
"He took two losses," or whatever.

2393
01:36:40,874 --> 01:36:42,833
But the thing is,
at the end of the day,

2394
01:36:42,834 --> 01:36:46,420
one, they're fighting
'cause they enjoy it,

2395
01:36:46,421 --> 01:36:48,380
and two, it's work.

2396
01:36:48,381 --> 01:36:50,258
They're getting paid, so

2397
01:36:50,259 --> 01:36:53,594
for you to tell
a guy to walk away from

2398
01:36:53,595 --> 01:36:55,888
making money is basically,

2399
01:36:55,889 --> 01:36:59,351
what are you telling him to go do?

2400
01:37:11,822 --> 01:37:13,365
What up, Zach?

2401
01:37:15,993 --> 01:37:17,327
I'm doing good, buddy.

2402
01:37:17,328 --> 01:37:20,330
Hanging out here with the Danes.

2403
01:37:20,331 --> 01:37:21,705
Well,

2404
01:37:21,706 --> 01:37:23,582
I know I told you
I'd get back to you.

2405
01:37:23,583 --> 01:37:27,003
Got some not-so-good news.

2406
01:37:27,004 --> 01:37:28,420
Decided not to pick you up
on the next Bellator fight.

2407
01:37:28,421 --> 01:37:29,880
It's really quite bad for you,

2408
01:37:29,881 --> 01:37:31,465
but just with your
injuries and everything.

2409
01:37:31,466 --> 01:37:33,134
I know that's not what
you wanted to hear,

2410
01:37:33,135 --> 01:37:36,847
but your safety's first,
and we got another guy to...

2411
01:38:01,705 --> 01:38:03,289
911, operator 3830.

2412
01:38:03,290 --> 01:38:05,958
Where is your emergency?

2413
01:38:05,959 --> 01:38:07,751
Yeah, there was
a car accident right here

2414
01:38:07,752 --> 01:38:09,879
on Juan Tabo and
Southern Boulevard.

2415
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:10,921
Three-car accident.

2416
01:38:10,922 --> 01:38:12,131
Anyone injured?

2417
01:38:12,132 --> 01:38:13,507
I'm not sure.

2418
01:38:13,508 --> 01:38:15,801
In April of 2015,

2419
01:38:15,802 --> 01:38:18,054
Albuquerque police
respond to a report

2420
01:38:18,055 --> 01:38:20,223
of a suspect fleeing
the scene of an accident

2421
01:38:20,224 --> 01:38:21,891
involving a pregnant woman.

2422
01:38:21,892 --> 01:38:24,143
Which way did he go?
What direction?

2423
01:38:24,144 --> 01:38:27,146
He's going onto a gated community.

2424
01:38:27,147 --> 01:38:29,940
Okay, we'll
get somebody out there.

2425
01:38:29,941 --> 01:38:32,776
Yeah, there's cash in here.

2426
01:38:32,777 --> 01:38:34,237
Yeah.

2427
01:38:34,238 --> 01:38:35,779
True Honor?

2428
01:38:35,780 --> 01:38:37,865
Dude, I wonder
if this is that fighter's car?

2429
01:38:37,866 --> 01:38:40,577
- Hm?
- Jon Jones?

2430
01:38:44,081 --> 01:38:45,664
They did?

2431
01:38:45,665 --> 01:38:47,499
Pro MMA, bro. Right there.

2432
01:38:47,500 --> 01:38:48,667
Where?

2433
01:38:48,668 --> 01:38:50,670
Pro MMA. It's right here.

2434
01:38:52,130 --> 01:38:53,214
Pro MMA.

2435
01:38:53,215 --> 01:38:54,798
Yep, that's him.

2436
01:38:54,799 --> 01:38:55,883
Well, he's.

2437
01:38:55,884 --> 01:38:57,093
Yep, he is.

2438
01:38:57,094 --> 01:38:58,177
Jones turned himself in

2439
01:38:58,178 --> 01:38:59,636
and was later arrested.

2440
01:38:59,637 --> 01:39:01,722
He almost
killed both these people.

2441
01:39:01,723 --> 01:39:03,057
Where's that pipe at?

2442
01:39:03,058 --> 01:39:04,392
Following the aftermath,

2443
01:39:04,393 --> 01:39:06,102
the UFC suspended Jon,

2444
01:39:06,103 --> 01:39:10,065
stripping him of his
light heavyweight title.

2445
01:39:33,130 --> 01:39:36,673
This year had so much great
MMA for the fans to consume.

2446
01:39:36,674 --> 01:39:38,008
Right, guys?

2447
01:39:38,009 --> 01:39:39,843
There really was.

2448
01:39:39,844 --> 01:39:41,678
And honestly there's
so much more to come.

2449
01:39:41,679 --> 01:39:43,514
Where do you think MMA's headed

2450
01:39:43,515 --> 01:39:45,516
in the next five to ten years?

2451
01:39:45,517 --> 01:39:47,977
Right now,
it seems to be exploding.

2452
01:39:47,978 --> 01:39:49,812
Women's MMA is getting
to a point where it's

2453
01:39:49,813 --> 01:39:51,230
pretty independent of me,

2454
01:39:51,231 --> 01:39:53,107
and they won't really
need me much anymore.

2455
01:39:53,108 --> 01:39:54,900
You're seeing guys
switching organizations

2456
01:39:54,901 --> 01:39:56,360
a lot more than you used to.

2457
01:39:56,361 --> 01:39:58,862
There's no longer that
clear distinction of

2458
01:39:58,863 --> 01:40:00,906
what organization is better.

2459
01:40:00,907 --> 01:40:02,283
Maybe one's bigger.

2460
01:40:02,284 --> 01:40:03,951
Maybe one takes care
of fighters better.

2461
01:40:03,952 --> 01:40:05,911
It really matters what
your personal goals are.

2462
01:40:05,912 --> 01:40:08,205
Jon Jones said, "He's
considering going to Bellator,

2463
01:40:08,206 --> 01:40:10,082
"because he heard
their president is a Coker."

2464
01:40:10,083 --> 01:40:13,127
If you think about ten years ago,

2465
01:40:13,128 --> 01:40:15,379
there was no MMA on TV

2466
01:40:15,380 --> 01:40:17,089
outside of Spike TV.

2467
01:40:17,090 --> 01:40:18,674
Because it was like, oh, taboo.

2468
01:40:18,675 --> 01:40:20,634
Now it's on almost every network.

2469
01:40:20,635 --> 01:40:23,137
We've seen a sport be created

2470
01:40:23,138 --> 01:40:25,264
and go to mainstream.

2471
01:40:25,265 --> 01:40:26,474
I can't name another sport

2472
01:40:26,475 --> 01:40:28,058
that's ever done
that in my lifetime.

2473
01:40:28,059 --> 01:40:30,060
It's become just a normal thing.

2474
01:40:30,061 --> 01:40:31,854
Not just in America but worldwide.

2475
01:40:31,855 --> 01:40:33,689
I went
to the Super Bowl this year,

2476
01:40:33,690 --> 01:40:35,358
and it was like

2477
01:40:35,359 --> 01:40:36,900
a whole different level.

2478
01:40:36,901 --> 01:40:39,570
Even our biggest events
in mixed martial arts

2479
01:40:39,571 --> 01:40:42,532
aren't even a speck
compared to the coverage

2480
01:40:42,533 --> 01:40:44,325
that those bigger
sporting events get,

2481
01:40:44,326 --> 01:40:46,660
so we have that room for growth,

2482
01:40:46,661 --> 01:40:49,205
but there's no secret this
is the fastest-growing sport

2483
01:40:49,206 --> 01:40:50,664
in the world.

2484
01:40:50,665 --> 01:40:52,583
We're not quite at the
level of the Big Four,

2485
01:40:52,584 --> 01:40:56,837
which I considered to be
NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL.

2486
01:40:56,838 --> 01:40:59,048
But it's on Fox, it's on free TV,

2487
01:40:59,049 --> 01:41:00,341
Bellator's on Spike,

2488
01:41:00,342 --> 01:41:02,009
and if you go to
any major UFC event,

2489
01:41:02,010 --> 01:41:03,844
you'll see ESPN there.

2490
01:41:03,845 --> 01:41:05,179
USA Today is there.

2491
01:41:05,180 --> 01:41:07,097
All major outlets
are there, as well.

2492
01:41:07,098 --> 01:41:09,559
The UFC is sometimes
obsessed with this idea

2493
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:12,395
of it becoming the number-one
sport in the world,

2494
01:41:12,396 --> 01:41:13,854
surpassing soccer.

2495
01:41:13,855 --> 01:41:15,147
That's never gonna happen,

2496
01:41:15,148 --> 01:41:16,148
and I think that's okay.

2497
01:41:16,149 --> 01:41:17,400
Folks, one of the things

2498
01:41:17,401 --> 01:41:18,859
that's not gonna go
tumbling this year

2499
01:41:18,860 --> 01:41:21,195
is worldwide expansion of MMA.

2500
01:41:21,196 --> 01:41:23,406
From Sweden to Japan, Macao,

2501
01:41:23,407 --> 01:41:25,199
this thing only grows further.

2502
01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:26,950
Now, unfortunately,
there's one guy

2503
01:41:26,951 --> 01:41:28,620
you guys won't see here tonight...

2504
01:41:37,170 --> 01:41:39,004
Oh, get off me.

2505
01:41:39,005 --> 01:41:41,174
These guys give me great joy.

2506
01:41:45,596 --> 01:41:48,305
I'm trying to get
more positive things

2507
01:41:48,306 --> 01:41:51,183
'cause it can't just
be fighting alone

2508
01:41:51,184 --> 01:41:55,062
and kickboxing or
wrestling or jiu-jitsu.

2509
01:41:55,063 --> 01:41:56,897
I understand that now because

2510
01:41:56,898 --> 01:41:58,857
my body, I'm losing it.

2511
01:41:58,858 --> 01:42:00,192
I can't do it for the whole time,

2512
01:42:00,193 --> 01:42:03,280
and I need to figure
something out.

2513
01:42:05,323 --> 01:42:07,950
Any time I look off
into long distances,

2514
01:42:07,951 --> 01:42:11,245
I sit there and
I try and imagine, like,

2515
01:42:11,246 --> 01:42:15,040
what normal people think.

2516
01:42:15,041 --> 01:42:17,918
From my eyes, I think that
everybody's better than me,

2517
01:42:17,919 --> 01:42:21,714
and I'm trying to figure out
how I could be like them.

2518
01:42:25,093 --> 01:42:26,177
Oh, my gosh.

2519
01:42:36,771 --> 01:42:39,565
50 to 100 years
ago in this country,

2520
01:42:39,566 --> 01:42:41,317
life was probably more real.

2521
01:42:41,318 --> 01:42:43,068
People were born at home,

2522
01:42:43,069 --> 01:42:45,070
and people would die at home.

2523
01:42:45,071 --> 01:42:47,281
So people would see
the whole cycle of life

2524
01:42:47,282 --> 01:42:48,740
from life to death.

2525
01:42:48,741 --> 01:42:49,992
Very real.

2526
01:42:49,993 --> 01:42:51,827
As we've progressed as a society,

2527
01:42:51,828 --> 01:42:54,163
it kinda seems like we're
becoming more sterile.

2528
01:42:54,164 --> 01:42:55,289
There's not a whole lot of things

2529
01:42:55,290 --> 01:42:56,832
that are more real than MMA.

2530
01:42:56,833 --> 01:43:00,085
It has this kind of graphic,
raw quality to it

2531
01:43:00,086 --> 01:43:03,464
that maybe people are longing for?

2532
01:43:03,465 --> 01:43:06,634
Life is a little
too plastic, maybe.

2533
01:43:06,635 --> 01:43:08,927
And MMA is very, very real.

2534
01:43:08,928 --> 01:43:11,597
Simplify it.

2535
01:43:11,598 --> 01:43:14,183
Simplify it, simplify it.

2536
01:43:14,184 --> 01:43:16,185
A lot easier.

2537
01:43:16,186 --> 01:43:19,397
Don't have a choice now, do we?

2538
01:43:34,663 --> 01:43:37,080
Bella, do you wanna hand 'em some?

2539
01:43:37,081 --> 01:43:38,165
Here's a long one.

2540
01:43:38,166 --> 01:43:39,583
You can go hand it to one.

2541
01:43:39,584 --> 01:43:40,669
Walk slowly.

2542
01:43:43,087 --> 01:43:44,254
For those that put

2543
01:43:44,255 --> 01:43:45,839
their bodies and minds on the line

2544
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:48,635
for the sake of pride,
glory, and entertainment,

2545
01:43:50,887 --> 01:43:55,391
whether they travel
steadily along that journey

2546
01:43:55,392 --> 01:43:58,144
or their bodies and
minds fail them,

2547
01:44:00,063 --> 01:44:01,314
they are always fighting,

2548
01:44:06,361 --> 01:44:07,861
because for these men and women

2549
01:44:07,862 --> 01:44:11,990
there is no defeat that
keeps them on their backs,

2550
01:44:11,991 --> 01:44:13,867
no referee to stop their fight.

2551
01:44:13,868 --> 01:44:17,413
Make any other promises to
you about this matter...

2552
01:44:17,414 --> 01:44:18,955
No corner to show them the way.

2553
01:44:18,956 --> 01:44:20,123
Yes, sir.

2554
01:44:20,124 --> 01:44:21,500
According to this,

2555
01:44:21,501 --> 01:44:22,752
you are to plead guilty
of one allegation

2556
01:44:22,753 --> 01:44:24,587
of leaving the scene
of an accident...

2557
01:44:24,588 --> 01:44:25,921
They must find
the strength to carry on

2558
01:44:25,922 --> 01:44:27,256
within themselves.

2559
01:44:27,257 --> 01:44:29,425
That's a fourth-degree felony.

2560
01:44:29,426 --> 01:44:30,760
A fourth-degree felony...

2561
01:44:30,761 --> 01:44:31,885
And that is why we follow

2562
01:44:31,886 --> 01:44:34,304
their stories so intently.

2563
01:44:34,305 --> 01:44:39,309
Their magnificent victories
and crushing defeats.

2564
01:44:39,310 --> 01:44:40,603
So that just for a moment,

2565
01:44:40,604 --> 01:44:44,106
we can put
our own struggles on hold

2566
01:44:44,107 --> 01:44:46,735
and witness
the triumphs of another.

2567
01:50:44,842 --> 01:50:47,469
Kimo-san.

2568
01:50:47,470 --> 01:50:48,845
Banzai.

2569
01:50:48,846 --> 01:50:50,889
Kamikaze!

2570
01:50:50,890 --> 01:50:52,266
Osu!

2571
01:50:57,354 --> 01:51:00,858
Didn't even look like you
had to that time, dude.

2572
01:51:02,526 --> 01:51:04,195
Coconut head.
