  • Granted, 6'8".
  • He's a very big man.
  • Very big man.
  • He dribbles balls, he puts them in baskets, and he can defeat the greatest mixed martial artist that ever lived.
  • Hold on.
  • If you want to know what I'm talking about, take a look at this.
  • I think I could beat him for real.
  • But like I said, with a year of training defense, I just need ground defense.
  • I think the scary thing, because we're big athletes, it's like, okay, JJ can move how you move, and he's 6'8".
  • That's the scary part, like, where, okay, he can do everything you do, and he's 6'8".
  • That's where the big difference comes in.
  • Yeah, and the opposite is, he started learning how to use your hands and your feet, what, after college?
  • I've been punching and kicking since I was five, six years old.
  • So the same thing for me, though, is the opposite for him, because he's been wrestling for that long, learning all his wrestling moves and things like that for that long.
  • For me, you know what I mean?
  • I started learning the wrestling game and all that in middle school, the jujitsu.
  • You know, he has a big advantage there, because no one wants to get on the floor, but as long as I can keep him from going on the floor, I win.
  • As long as he can keep him from going on the floor, he wins the fight.
  • And listen, it's different.
  • I'm 6'8", bro.
  • I'm a badass.
  • I've done a little bit of amateur martial arts.
  • All I've got to do is learn how to stop a takedown, and I've just got to learn wrestling.
  • It's that easy.
  • Give me a year.
  • Give me a break.
  • That's what we really need right here, because listen, this James Johnson, I'm sure he's a lovely guy.
  • I really am.
  • But this is hilarious.
  • You know, we've all done it.
  • We've all watched a martial arts film, and at the end, we're all hyped up.
  • We want to go.
  • We're looking at it.
  • We watch Rocky.
  • We start shadowboxing.

  • You go down the pub, you have a few beers.
  • You think you can take this guy on.
  • For a doodad.
  • The list goes on, right?
  • Okay.
  • He's a big man.
  • He's 6'8".
  • He's an athlete.
  • He's got a competitive drive, and I'm sure, right, from what he says, he can fight.
  • And I'm sure, according to what I've read online, apparently the man's got a second degree black belt in martial arts.
  • He said he had his first MMA fight at the age of 18 and reportedly finished his opponent in 97 seconds.
  • He earned the moniker of Little Ali because of his notably fancy footwork during fights that resembled the late Muhammad Ali.
  • He goes on to say, I've been fighting my whole life.

  • I would love to fight in the UFC after my NBA career.
  • The fighter mentality, the fighter heart, it never goes.
  • I still see the guys right now trying to kick away like Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva.
  • You got guys that just can't get away from the game, right?
  • Listen, he goes on to say, listen, I rock with John Jones, but he says I would just need a year.
  • My standup is great, but we all know about John Jones.
  • He's a collegiate wrestler.
  • Really, really good on the ground.
  • And that is not my forte.
  • Neither is Mixed Martial Arts, bro.
  • Listen, if you look at Sports Illustrated, they're talking about this guy.
  • Now, Sports Illustrated have done an article on this, and they say that the 6'8", 36-year-old Johnson wants to try his hands at beating John Jones.
  • He'll first have to fight professionally in Mixed Martial Arts, despite being a black belt in karate and already being undefeated in kickboxing, 20 and 0, apparently, and Mixed Martial Arts, 7 and 0.
  • But Johnson's bouts, mysteriously, aren't credited anywhere outside of his interviews.
  • Well, guess what?
  • I had a little look on Tapology.
  • Tapology registers all fights, okay?
  • You don't have to be an NBA player.
  • You don't have to be someone famous.
  • You can be anybody.
  • Have one fight, you will be on Tapology.
  • You will be on the Sherdog database.
  • But when I go to Tapology, there's lots of James Johnsons.
  • James Johnson, 0 and 0 out of Las Vegas.
  • James Johnson, 2 and 1. James Johnson, 3 and 0. Amateur.
  • James Johnson, 1 and 5. There's none that are 7 and 0. There are none that are 6 foot 8. There's none that are basketball players, right?
  • This guy's having a laugh.
  • He's out of his goddamn mind.
  • But hey, God bless him.
  • God bless him.
  • God loves to try it, okay?
  • Now, all jokes aside, as I said, I don't know this guy.
  • I'm sure he's a lovely, lovely guy.
  • I've got nothing against him, but it is so hilarious.
  • That is like me saying, granted, if I was a foot taller, oh, no, no, not a foot taller, four inches taller.
  • That's like me saying, listen, give me a year.
  • I will learn how to play basketball, even though I've only got one eye and no depth perception whatsoever.
  • I've got the feet.
  • I've got the skills.
  • I've got the cardio.
  • I've got the will to win.
  • It's nonsense.
  • It's stupid, okay?
  • This guy's fights can't be found anywhere, even if he is 20 and 0 in kickboxing.
  • We all know.
  • We all know someone that's a British kickboxing champion or a regional kickboxing championship.
  • And when you look at the fights, there were seven people in a sports hall, you know what I mean?
  • And the opponent was well out of shape and never trained in his life, and they get given a big shiny medal and a belt, and all of a sudden, they're a champion, right?
  • We see it all the time.
  • And this started probably because of that YouTuber, Bradley Martin.
  • Did you beat me in a street fight?
  • Huh?
  • You think you beat me in a street fight?
  • You in a street fight?
  • Yeah.
  • You're a podcaster, brother.
  • I love it.
  • Okay, he's like 265 pounds.
  • He's jacked out of his mind.
  • He's never trained a day in his goddamn life.
  • He thinks he can beat Demetrius Johnson.
  • He thinks he can beat Nate Diaz.
  • And that guy is out of his goddamn mind as well.
  • Look, listen, we've seen this a little bit.
  • We saw with James Toney, right?
  • We're in the UFC.
  • I want to show you what real fighting is all about.
  • The boxing legend, the heavyweight champion, came over to the UFC, fought Randy Couture, got taken down, ankle picked, and choked out within seconds.
  • Realistically, even if he's been training nine months, that's real short order to pick up everything you need to know from mixed martial arts.
  • And that was an actual fighter, okay?
  • Listen, it's great.
  • The sport of mixed martial arts is getting so popular, but Jon Jones is the greatest of all time.
  • Jon Jones is undefeated.
  • Jon Jones will be fighting Stipe Miocic and Madison Square Garden against the greatest heavyweight of all time, okay?
  • So listen, I mean, I don't need to tell you about Jon Jones.
  • And on top of that, Jon Jones is round the bend.
  • He's a little bit crazy.
  • He's got that nasty streak in him.
  • And whether or not you want to criticize him for it, and of course, he's done some things that are very, very bad.
  • He's put on some amazing fights, and that meanness, that fucking craziness that he has, that helps you win a fight.
  • And I'm sure this basketball has flipped out on the tennis court, on the basketball court, should I say.
  • I'm sure he's got a real reputation, right?
  • But you ain't going up against Jon Jones.
  • No way.
  • The other baddest man on the planet, Tyson Fury, he said that he would take Jon Jones.
  • I heard him say that Jon Jones could fuck me up if we went in the room together.
  • I don't think so.
  • Not a man born for him.
  • His mother can fuck me up in a room on our own.
  • Whatever happens in that room, I'd be walking out, not a fucking problem.
  • And everybody laughed at that.
  • And that's a guy that is six foot nine.
  • That's legit the best boxer in the heavyweight division, the best heavyweight of his generation.
  • A man that has incredible speed, incredible cardio, that is way heavier than this Johnson guy and is actually a fighter.
  • Jon Jones would take him down pretty quick.
  • Jon Jones would have a field day.
  • He would submit him.
  • He would kick him to death.
  • He would literally just do whatever he wanted, apart from box.
  • OK, you don't want to box with Tyson Fury.
  • Simple as that.
  • The man's ridiculous.
  • OK, and again, if the tables were turned, we've got that coming up soon.
  • Francis Ngannou, Jon Jones.
  • Listen, Tyson Fury is going to have a field day with him.
  • So it's not a knock on Tyson Fury, but horses for courses.
  • Stick to your court.
  • The basketball courts, right?
  • No one's bouncing balls in octagons.
  • The only thing that's getting bounced is your head all over the place by vicious elbows from Jon Jones when he takes you down with relative ease.
  • Now, let me tell you, apparently he's done a bit of jiu jitsu and that's all well and good.
  • Competitive jiu jitsu is very different from the flowery power stuff you do in the dojo.
  • If you hit someone hard enough with Ki, which I will certainly not do today, you can stop the heartbeat.
  • Say!
  • Doing it in the octagon, doing it in a mixed martial arts contest where people can punch you in the face, elbow you in the face.
  • That is very, very different.
  • OK, but let's just assume that he can do that.
  • He can't wrestle.
  • OK, and a year.
  • He said, give me a year.
  • No chance.
  • Wrestling takes years and years to master.
  • I started doing Japanese jiu jitsu when I was eight years old.
  • I didn't start doing any wrestling until I was training professionally as a mixed martial artist.
  • You know, Japanese jiu jitsu utilizes a lot of judo, hip throws or goshis or soto garis.
  • I know the Japanese terminology because you've got to do.
  • I'm a black belt in Japanese jiu jitsu.
  • But even though I've done all that, learning to wrestle was very, very hard.
  • Even though my mind and my brain was already formatted to learn grappling, learning wrestling, making it work in a competitive environment is really hard.
  • And I'll just say this right now.
  • Learning jiu jitsu is easier than learning to wrestle.
  • Wrestling is a much harder art to learn.
  • Simple as that.
  • We can all lie on our back and do an arm bar in five seconds.
  • There's no way you can single leg someone and put them down on the ground.
  • It takes a long time.
  • And it seems like a weird language that they're speaking.
  • I remember trying to do my first single leg.
  • I think this doesn't work.
  • This is bullshit.
  • But it does.
  • But it takes a while.
  • Certainly takes longer than a year.
  • Certainly when you're going up against the greatest of all time, the best fighter that we've ever seen in the 30 year history of this beautiful, magnificent sport.
  • Anyway, God bless this guy.
  • Right.
  • Fair play.
  • I'm sure he's the type of guy you wouldn't want to meet down a dark alley.
  • He's 6'4", 8". He's a badass.
  • And he's had 20 fights that I can't find anywhere.
  • They're not on topology.
  • But go on with your bad self, bro.
  • Have yourself some fun.
  • Take it easy.
  • Subscribe, ring the bell and I'll see you soon.
