What do Joey and Lee say about the UFC fight, Conor McGregor pay, and betting behavior?
Kick this motherfucking mule, Lee. What's happening, you savages? It's the church of what's happening now. New edition or whatever the fuck it is. I'm Joey Diaz. This is my main man, Lee, a.k.a. Johnny Hitler. He was Johnny Mussolini two weeks ago. Now he's Johnny Hitler today. Hope everybody's doing well. You know, another fun-filled week here. What's going on with you?
I'm good, dude. I'm good. It was a crazy... I don't know. Did you watch the UFC at all?
Do you care about that anymore? I watched it because I bet Max Holloway to win. Decision, knockout, roller skating. I had Max. I didn't give a fuck. And I called it Tuesday, Wednesday night in Brooklyn. I said it on stage. And why? I wasn't even going to consider betting him. I already saw all the signs. Something wasn't right. They kept pushing him. Nobody was talking about Max Holloway. Alex Holloway's a killer. 34 years old. Fucking his last six fights, he's killed people. I think he lost Olivera and somebody else. Or I could be wrong. But there was no way. Too many people would beat Benton. Vegas was not going to take that beating. Did he really make $30 million, McGregor? Yeah. That's a disgrace. It is what it is.
There's nothing you can do about it. I feel bad for you if you bought the ticket. I feel bad for you. Hence the expression, mind your fucking business. You could have had just as much fun in your living room. People went to that fight. They're fucking heartbroken. They're like they're rushing right now. They paid three grand and they didn't see nothing. You saw Patty Babaddy.
Yeah, that was great.
You saw a great card. But the card they went to see, and I feel bad for Conor. Half of me feels bad for Conor. But again, that flying sidekick, there was no reason for it. I think he was hurt before that. He was hurt before that.
Dude. We talk a lot about people getting greedy. The fact that it's free... I didn't watch the UFC for 10 years. Those pay-per-views were so expensive. Yeah, but you were pirating them. Don't lie. I did a little bit, but honestly, those pirating, it always goes down. I don't know. It's... Now I sound like an old person, but when we were watching it in LA and it was like Max and his prime, DC, Jon Jones, it was, I don't know. It just seemed better than it is now. It seemed like the fights were more exciting. It seemed like, I don't know. I just, I didn't really care about it. And for him to make 30, no one makes 30 million. Jon Jones, they wouldn't give him 20. And that's why he didn't fight.
You know, man, that kid brings, I mean, say what you want to say about Conor McGregor. He changes an economy for five days, okay? He changes your economy. You could take shit away from Conor McGregor, but he pumped a lot of money into Vegas.
That's why they didn't cancel the fight.
And I don't think he, you know, listen, it's an eight-week training camp, right? There's nobody who walks out of an eight-week training camp that they're doing it effectively that doesn't hurt something. Your shoulder. I go to the gym every once in a while. I do a high pull. Ah, my shoulder. Something is still lingering that never healed. So you always go into a fight with an injury, but the excitement of the lights and all that shit makes the pain go away, and you try your best. I saw something different. McGregor was jumping around all weekend, being nice to people. You know, it was almost too surreal. But when he walked in the octagon, everything changed. Look at it. He looked across. It's like when I do a gig and you guys tell me, oh, I can't wait.
And now it's December 28th and we got to go do this gig. I'm like, fuck. And that's what happened. He looked across the room and he goes, look at his face. Why am I doing this? I'm worth $400 million. I'm going to get $30 million. I got to pay taxes on it and all that shit. What am I doing with my life? I could just make commercials now. Yeah. You could just do commercials. Or open up a gym. Sports, gyms, whatever. He took the fight. Oh, the fighter mentality is completely different when you're fucking broke and hungry.
