| Head to geology.com Somebody is the backup fighter. | |
| We will not know who that is until Friday morning between 9 and 11 a.m. | |
| when some heavyweight walks through the curtain and gets on the scale. | |
| It is the opposite of blowing it up. | |
| Not only do we not put media on there, not only do we not put a spotlight on there, we don't even tell people. | |
| I mean, I'll give you an example, but I was at the weigh-ins at MSG. | |
| Kamar Uzman gonna take on Colby Covington. | |
| Luque comes out and gets on the scale. | |
| We were not even told as an audience that he was in town. | |
| Luque ended up missing weight, but that's when we found out that they at least had a body. | |
| The show will go on. | |
| The main event will be preserved. | |
| Now that is obviously a calculated effort of the marketing department that says, don't take anyone's eyes or focus off of what we're promising. | |
| I understand that. | |
| And if it happened one time, I might have to revisit and go, guys, I was wrong. | |
| We never should have said anything. | |
| It created a huge distraction. | |
| The audience didn't know. | |
| The fans were confused. | |
| This backup guy started getting more run and more attention. | |
| It was a big mistake. | |
| Maybe! | |
| I would still like to see that tested out. | |
| Because I don't think that's the case. | |
| I think if Jon Jones were the backup fighter, by example, you've got Surreal, you've got Engano, who quite frankly you would have had more fun in my bathroom this morning watching me brush my teeth. | |
| You would have found that more interesting than any buildup that the Undisputed Champ or the Interim Champ have done leading into this contest. | |
| I actually thought of doing that, by the way. | |
| I thought about coming here, sitting in front of this lens, and telling you guys, I'm gonna give you something more interesting than Francis Orr Surreal has done. | |
| I really thought of doing that. | |
| I didn't have time to run home and grab the props. | |
| And then I was gonna take out a toothbrush and toothpaste and I was gonna have you watch me brush my teeth. | |
| And you would have liked it more and I would have done more views than any interview that either one of them have done. | |
| Which is why I offer for you, if you inserted, if you dangled the carrot of Jon Jones, Whether we get him or not. | |
| Whether Jon ever got in there or not. | |
| If you dangled that carrot, you put Jon Jones into the front row, you do a cameo, possibly an in-ring face-off, we'll see how that goes, that's gotta be done organically, you cannot force it, I've seen him forced, it looks terrible. | |
| But I've also seen guys in the front row never leave their seat. | |
| They flant a camera to him, he's standing on his feet, he's pointing the ring, you're next, that type thing, whatever it is, it's a treat though, it's a real treat for the audience. | |
| I think more focus should be put on the backup fighter. | |
| I think the history of backup fighters, which I already laid out for you with two examples off the top of my head, of Chandler and of Kamara Usman, I think it shows you what a sweet spot that is, and guys were starting to embrace it. | |
| Everybody knew what an opportunity this backup business was. | |
| You get some level of participation, I think they give you 10 grand just to get on the scale. | |
| So now all of a sudden you got a great seat, you got a trip, you got a training camp under your belt, and you got a few bucks to take the boys that helped get you out to a beautiful dinner. | |
| I mean, it's a really neat thing to do. | |
| Conor McGregor got asked to do it for UFC 246, what ended up being Gaethje vs. Ferguson, and Conor publicly said, I'm not a backup fighter, as though it was uncool. | |
| So the whole world had to go copy Conor, and all of a sudden they don't want to be backup fighters. | |
| Well, what part of the backup fighter did you not like? | |
| Did you not like that you were going to have to train, that you were going to have to prepare, that you were going to have to be in the USADA pool, that you were going to have to have a team around you? | |
| Did you not like the first-class tickets, staying in a beautiful suite out to whatever city this fight was in? | |
| Did you not like being handed $10,000 to do absolutely nothing except get down to your skivvies one day before the fight? | |
| What part of that didn't you like? | |
| What part of that are you above? | |
| It's a very coveted position. | |
| Somebody is the backup fighter this weekend. | |
| I don't know who it is. | |
| My guess, you're going to see Derek Lewis come through. | |
| You could also go to a Curtis Blades. | |
| You could. | |
| In all fairness, you could. | |
| Probably going to be Derek. | |
| But the fact that we haven't been told means somebody doesn't agree with me. | |
| Somebody thinks that that could take attention off the ball. | |
| But the great reveal when they come out for the weigh-in and now we know for 24 hours anything could happen. | |
| We know anyway! | |
| What's the difference if I knew a month ago or I find out 24 hours before? | |
| What's the difference? | |
| Other than I have no ability to be excited about it. | |
| I have no ability to speculate on it. | |
| I have no ability to go into camp to make some phone calls, to see how training's going, to see what the weight's like, see how fast he's sprinting up the hill, see what his time in a mile is, time in two miles. | |
| We find these things out. | |
| We find these things out. | |
| I have no ability to do that now. | |
| But I have all of the same thoughts. | |
| I just have them for 24 hours instead of 30 days. |
