Speaker 1: The Volume. Let me tell you about this new sports trade app. It's called Polymarket. It's the best way to trade all things sports. So in the past, if you wanted action on the game, you'd have to put some money in. And if your team was doing well and you wanted to cash out, they'd either lock the trade or they would take a huge fee. But Polymarket is a prediction market. Essentially, it's a stock exchange for sports. You get to buy in and you get to sell on your own terms. Say your team goes down 20%. Well, you buy in and then you sell it off at 40% when they come back and you double your money. Polymarket is simply the best prediction market. And they're so confident that they predict you'll never go back to the other guys and the old way. They're going to give you $ 50 free when you deposit just 10. Let me tell you something. That is confidence. with the Polymarket team. So use my code DCMMA. They've even launched a new feature. It's called Squads, where you can see what everybody else is doing at Polymarket. Download the Polymarket app today. Use my promo code DCMMA when you sign up. We'll give you $ 50 free. When you deposit, only $ 10 to start. Go now, like right now. Daniel! Go! Alright guys, welcome to a brand new episode here at Daniel Cormier's show brought to you by Total Wireless, the official mobile service provider of UFC. Real fans need 5G unlimited data that won't tap out. Real fans need Real Unlimited. I wanted to talk a little bit about the situation in Marab and Usman today. You know, I watch these situations happen. And I watch professional fighters make decisions that at times can be very damaging and very dangerous. Today, I saw dangerous actions. I saw Usman Nurmagomedov and a group of guys jump Murab Duvalishvili. Watching that visual was actually very sad because I know Usman. I know Marab. I know that there's a lot of bad blood between these two camps. I also know that it should never lead to behavior like we saw today. You know, emotions run high, but I think, and this is me talking about this even after fighting Jon Jones in the lobby of the MGM Grand and pursuing fights in so many different situations. Emotions run high in rivalries. At times I was guilty of bad behavior. But... Today was really bad. And it should never happen. We as fighters should not fear or worry about our safety whenever we go to places to do other things. I saw somewhere that... Marab had smacked someone in Georgia. One bad action should not lead to another bad action. Because now... Both of these guys lose in this situation. Marabu's there to wrestle. Marabu's there to wrestle in RAF. Now he's not probably going to get to compete. Usman is a free agent that signed to the PFL, maybe looking to do something different down the line. This thing will stick with him for as long as his career goes now. There is no winning in this situation. Conor McGregor attacked Khabib Nurmagomedov on a bus at a fight. Conor McGregor said some really, really negative things about Khabib. They never fought outside of the octagon. They never fought outside of the octagon. I think this thing stems from a lot of the things that these guys say about each other, Umar and Murab. In the trash talk and obviously the trash talk has become so personal. But at the end of the day, it cannot look like that because you have to imagine that there is going to be some sort of consequence because we cannot live a life with no consequence. We are not free to operate and do anything we want without repercussions. And unfortunately, there will be repercussions today. One, Merab's not getting to make his money this weekend in RAF. Two, Usman is going to find himself in some real big trouble for this. And deservedly so. You cannot do that. We are professionals. It's dangerous. It's very dangerous to fight in real life. That doesn't mean that you have an issue with someone that you consider a friend or anything. That's just what's right is what's right. Because As a professional fighter, you're not just swinging for the fences like the average Joe. You are going to strike with intention. And that was never more present than even when Merab kind of dipped his head and Usman need him. Only a professional does stuff like that. People in the streets don't do stuff like that. It's dangerous. We have to be better in everything. We have to be better. So no, I don't... A lot of people asking me, what are you going to say, DC? How are you going to... I'm not trying to spin and protect anything. A bad behavior is a bad behavior. It's unfortunate. I hate seeing stuff like this. I hate seeing Usman with that behavior in general. Like, I can't believe that that happened. I cannot believe that that happened. I really can't. And I'd imagine... I really would imagine that when Habib gets to him and speaks to him, Habib will have a talking to him about his actions and how they affect his now and how they affect him down the line. Because I don't think anyone can really look at that and think that's an acceptable behavior. I don't think anybody can look at that and see that as an acceptable behavior. And I think, honestly, Usman, when he looks back at this, is going to regret what he did. Because that is a behavior that should be regretted. So, no, I'm not trying to spin this thing and make excuses for no one. No. A bad behavior is a bad behavior. And there will be consequences. And Usman is going to have to live with that action. So we'll see what happens. So I feel sad, though. I feel sad for the person that that happened to in Georgia. I feel very sad for Merab to go through that today. I feel sad. I feel sad that we are in the world. And honestly, I got to tell you, RAF, the organization, which I love what they're doing for wrestling, we've got to tighten it up. We've got to tighten it up. Because... The environment now has fostered that type of behavior from Dylan Dennis fighting with Armand to Hamzat to all the fights that are now surrounding these events. They fostered this idea that that behavior is acceptable. Just unfortunately today, there was no one to stop the action. Whereas they were pulling Dylan Dennis away from Hamzat and Armin and Armin and the other guy he was fighting with earlier in the year. We, as an organization, have to do better and not allow for those behaviors to happen because then it will not allow for these athletes to do those things. And that's the truth. That's the truth. Sure, it garners attention and people pay attention on social media. But ultimately, now you find yourself in a real situation because there is going to be something that comes from this. And it can be very bad. It can be very, very bad. Unacceptable. Unacceptable. And I actually said after the fight in Sacramento when Umar got knocked out, I said, well, it's hard, right? Usman jumped in the ring afterwards. But Usman has to control himself. He's got to control himself because now it's been multiple times jumping in the ring and now this. And for a kid that has that much potential in the sport, this will be a stain that he's going to have to live with for a really long time. One action does not lead to another action. We've got to do better. This coming from a guy that actually fought in the MGM Grand. And that threw stuff at a press conference. I know emotions get high. But I just think that we need to do better. We absolutely need to do better. All right. Till next time, guys. Peace.
