Transcript

00:00You know, we should have an expert on about having that dog in you,

00:03and I think that this man right here could teach us a thing or two about that

00:06because he's the monster.

00:08So let's go out to the Toyota of Hollywood guest line.

00:11She have over 2,000 Toyotas on sale at one location.

00:13Toyota of Hollywood on 441 between Hollywood and Sheridan,

00:17ToyotaofHollywood.com.

00:19Yuli the Monster Diaz is going to be fighting Dirty Boxing Championship,

00:23Dirty Boxing 3.

00:24What's going on, Yuli?

00:25How are you?

00:26Brandon, Leroy, how are you guys doing, man?

00:29Thank you again.

00:29Good.

00:29So can I ask you this real quick because we're talking about guys being tough

00:34and guys being physical.

00:36In your sport, we assume that everybody is tough,

00:41but sometimes their fighting style would not indicate they really want to mix it up.

00:47When you go into fights like that, if you were to say to somebody,

00:52like, he doesn't fight a real aggressive style,

00:55would he take that as being he's soft or not tough or

00:59just his style doesn't promote that?

01:03No, I just think maybe his style doesn't promote that.

01:06Not everybody has that aggressive style of fighting.

01:09That is my style.

01:10My style is very aggressive.

01:12I'm in your face.

01:13I call it Mexican style because, you know, it's toe-to-toe.

01:16I try to close the distance as much as possible.

01:20But a lot of people have different fight styles,

01:21so some people's styles might come off as not aggressive.

01:24And, you know, and, like, I would say, like, Gervonta, he's a great boxer,

01:29but, you know, he stays on his toes.

01:30He's kind of what they call on his bicycle, kind of staying away,

01:34looking like he don't want to fight until it's time to.

01:37Will you ever, like, do you ever remember a situation of, like, being in the gym

01:42and, like, you're taking on a guy who's, like, all that, you know, style,

01:46he's got a big reputation, but, like, they want, you know, somebody like you

01:50who obviously you've literally been in every combat sport there is

01:53and you're cut from a different cloth.

01:54Like, do you – can you tell early on in a training session, like,

01:59oh, I know how I can push this person around mentally?

02:03Well, yeah.

02:04So with my style, I've noticed, like, you know, I've noticed throughout the years

02:10when I keep this pressure up, when you start getting to the second, third,

02:15fourth, fifth round, you start kind of wearing people down, and you see,

02:19you know, a lot of times you can see the nerves or the, you know,

02:23or the worry coming into people's faces because, you know, you're constant.

02:27I call it zombie mode, too.

02:29You know, you're a zombie.

02:30You're getting hit.

02:31You might be getting hit, but it gets to the point where they can't throw

02:33as many punches anymore.

02:35They're seeing that their punches ain't really affecting you like they thought

02:37they would, and you're still coming after them and still coming after them

02:40and still, you know, still throwing punches at them.

02:44So you're going to be fighting coming up August 29th, dirty boxing again.

02:48The last time you did, somebody tried to cheat, and you had to deal with that.

02:53Like, what was that experience like?

02:55Because you've done every combat sports there is, and now you go into this new

02:59sport, and, like, you feel like the only thing is, all right,

03:02there's no takedowns, and, like, boom, immediately this guy tries to take you

03:05down, and you have to get right up and knock his ass out.

03:10What was that whole experience like of your first time in dirty boxing,

03:13and then how excited are you for this next one?

03:16Man, dirty boxing is amazing.

03:18You know, you guys, I see you there every time, you know, you're commentating.

03:23The venue's amazing.

03:25The people that have come to the show is amazing.

03:27It's a star-studded show.

03:28It's a great show.

03:29I love the rule set.

03:30It's, you know, a little dirtier, you know, no pun intended, than regular boxing

03:38where you can throw the elbows, you can ground and pound as people are standing up.

03:41But, yeah, my last opponent, he actually said in the walkout, I guess, you know,

03:47they have, like, a video, and they had told me that he said, oh, I'll have a

03:50surprise for everybody.

03:51I guess the surprise was to take me down immediately.

03:54But, you know, I got up, I handled business, and I punished them.

03:58It was crazy.

03:59I was, like, because we were literally talking about it, even with the reps that

04:02first day, Uli, of, like, hey, what are the, like, you know, we're trying to go

04:05over the rules, and, you know, what are they going to call, and what are they not

04:08going to call?

04:08And I remember just thinking to myself, you can do a lot.

04:12You can't do that.

04:13And so I imagine that that has to, like, take you immediately.

04:17Like, do you remember what went through your mind immediately, like, as that was

04:19all going down?

04:21Well, the first thing I went through my mind was, this is a good takedown, because

04:26I was in the air.

04:28This is a good takedown.

04:31It was a weird moment, because we kind of, like, so we started, we kind of, like,

04:36squared up to, like, box, and he kind of, like, just rushed from my legs.

04:39And when we fell, and I got, I scrambled up to try to start, because I thought it

04:43was, like, time to ground and pound.

04:44So, again, it was my first fight.

04:46It was his as well.

04:47I knew that was a little too far off the rules, but I wasn't sure.

04:52So once I hit the ground, I popped up, and I was just ready to attack again.

04:56But, yeah, you know, and it was a great, it was a great takedown.

05:00I look at the video, I see myself in the sky, I'm like, damn, this guy squirted me off

05:04my feet.

05:05It was wild.

05:06Well, do you have to, how much do you have to remind yourself?

05:08I can't hear you guys.

05:10Oh, we've, uh, we lost, uh, lost, oh, did we hear you?

05:12Can you hear me?

05:13Yeah, yeah, we hear you.

05:14We can hear you.

05:15Yeah, you sound good.

05:16I can't hear you.

05:17Oh, man.

05:17Can we, uh, maybe we'll get Yuli to, uh, to come back in.

05:20I don't know what happened there.

05:21That's a wild thing.

05:22It seemed like we were rolling along there, baby.

05:24Yep.

05:25We'll see if we can, uh, if he can give us.

05:28You got us now?

05:30Hello, hello.

05:32Let's get, uh, let's see if we can get, I'll text him.

05:34I'll say if we can get him to go in and go out and, uh, reconnect on that.

05:38Cause that's a little weird.

05:39Yeah.

05:40It was flowing away.

05:41It was flowing pretty good.

05:42Now you can hear us, Yuli.

05:43Everything good.

05:44All right.

05:44He's giving us the thumbs up.

05:45What's up, man?

05:46Yeah.

05:48I'm saying like you, you've fought in so many different, like MMA, bare knuckle, jujitsu,

05:53you know, all of it is, do you ever have to like remind yourself, like going into those

05:58things?

05:58Are you, of, of what you're actually doing because of, of how many different things you've,

06:03you've been a part of.

06:04And no, you know what?

06:05I've never had a problem with that just because whenever I have, uh, whatever combat sport

06:09fight coming up, I train just for that.

06:11And I'm so, you know, in, in, in that mode that I know what I have to do.

06:16I never, you know, I, I would never tackle somebody in a boxing match, but yeah, no, no,

06:23I just, you know, I trained for what I'm fighting for and, and it's, you know, when it comes

06:27to the fight day, I'm, I'm very focused.

06:30You're a, so you're on a card, you're taking on Phil Hawes, which, uh, that's a hell of

06:34a matchup between, uh, you guys.

06:35We talk about, you know, guys with a ton of UFC experience.

06:38What do you, uh, what do you do as far as prepping for him?

06:41I don't do anything different when I prep for anybody, you know, I just train my, train

06:46my ass off and, um, get my cardio up and, you know, shout out to Phil, man.

06:52He's a UFC vet.

06:54He's got a ton of experience with a lot of good people.

06:56Um, and you know, I'm coming to show what I got that night.

07:00I think it's a great opportunity for me and, and I, I know I'm going to come out with my

07:04hand raised.

07:05I think when it comes to the boxing in the hands, I think I got a better skillset than he does.

07:09Is it, do you like opportunities like this?

07:11Cause it's a little bit of like, what's going on in the main event with the wolf.

07:13Like that's kind of been his thing.

07:15He loves taking on the former UFC guys.

07:16You've taken on Tiago Alves before.

07:18Like you've, you've been in experiences like this, but does it, does it feel like a little,

07:24a cool opportunity to take on somebody who's been on a stage like that before?

07:28Absolutely.

07:28It definitely feels like a great opportunity.

07:31Um, you know, it's something great to add to the resume.

07:33And again, once, you know, once, uh, their career's over and you look back, you've fought

07:37some big names, you know, you took the, you took the good fights.

07:40Um, did you like, we talked to you, I feel like a couple, I don't know.

07:45It was a couple of months ago.

07:46It was probably like about a year ago and you were thinking about being done.

07:48Like it was your, your final fight.

07:51Why are you still doing it, man?

07:52Like, I mean, what, what, what keeps you going to want to do it?

07:55I know like, Hey, if it's a Miami fight, it's not a Miami fight without Yuli Diaz.

07:59So I'm sure there's a, there's a big call in there, but do you have it in your mind?

08:02How many more of these you want to do?

08:03I love it.

08:04And I train every day.

08:05Um, when, when it comes to bare knuckle, I, I retired from bare knuckle because now I

08:11work with the company, you know, shout out to BKB.

08:13They gave me a great opportunity with, with the company.

08:15I'm doing commentary.

08:16I'm doing, uh, uh, a podcast for them, uh, doing a bunch of stuff behind the scenes with

08:21them.

08:21So it's a great opportunity to have.

08:23So I retired from bare knuckle, took a job with them, but they allowed me to do anything

08:26outside of, outside of it.

08:27That's not bare knuckle.

08:29Uh, so we did speak back in March because I fought dirty boxing one, which was back in

08:33March.

08:34And, uh, that was another great opportunity.

08:36It was a fight in, in Miami.

08:38Um, and you know, I wanted to be part of a DBX one, be, you know, one of the pioneers that

08:45set this thing off.

08:46So it was again, great opportunity that I had to take and, and I never, I never stopped

08:50training, man.

08:52No, I mean, well, yeah, it looks that way.

08:54It looks like you never stopped training, dude.

08:55Like, is it still a, is it still a rush to, to, to see, have your kids watch you or to

09:00have your, to have your, your people get to see you in a Miami fight for me?

09:05It is, man.

09:06For me, it's a great rush.

09:07You know, if you ask my wife, she, she wants me to stop taking fights, but, uh, no, it's

09:12definitely a fight.

09:13I mean, uh, definitely, uh, uh, amazing to fight here in my backyard, man.

09:18Coconut Grove.

09:18I grew up, you know, all around that area.

09:21Uh, I used to even hang out where the hanger is before the hanger was even built.

09:24So, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's a great thing.

09:27I know all the people are coming out and especially for this fight, you know, I'm fighting another

09:30big name.

09:31They're going to want to see this show and it's going to be explosive, man.

09:35Well, do you ever feel that way with Mrs.

09:36Monster?

09:36Like she was a professional wrestler.

09:38Like, like that, is that as great with the flying off of the, the turnbuckles and all

09:42that nonsense?

09:42You know, it's funny.

09:44I do, man, when she has a, cause she's still wrestling, she's with TNA now.

09:47Uh, she just did a show with NXT as well.

09:50And, uh, when she, when they, they do those, uh, those hard matches with like chairs and

09:55doors and packs and, you know, and beating each other with sticks.

09:58Cause I'm like, damn baby, gotta let this go to, to make, you know, to make Yuli a situation

10:07and be like, wait, he's like, he's like, Oh, come on.

10:10Like, you know what?

10:11I think we, no matter if you do anything physical and you know what your body goes through and

10:18you have a loved one going through it, like you think differently, right?

10:24It's like me watching the kid play football, like, like people is like, Oh, it's fun.

10:30It's fun.

10:31No, it's still contact.

10:33And that's how you kind of look at it.

10:35Like, you know, this is contact and, and, and I just want you to be safe.

10:41Right.

10:42Right.

10:42And that's exactly, that's exactly what it is, man.

10:44When you got love, love for somebody, it's hard to, to, you know, watch them get hurt.

10:50Yuli, before we get you out of here, uh, Hector Lombard is going to be on this card.

10:54Uh, Hector's also, you know, been training down here forever, you know, come up and

10:59was a Bellator legend, a Bellator champion, and, you know, did his thing in the UFC.

11:03What does it mean to, to, to fight on a car with Hector and what that's going to, to bring

11:07to the table for this one?

11:08You know, Hector's like one of my brothers, man.

11:10I used to train with Hector all the time.

11:11He was a sparring partner of mine.

11:13He was a training partner of mine.

11:14Um, we actually just fought together about a week or two ago on a pillow fight in Orlando.

11:19We're on that same card, which was, which was super cool.

11:23Shout out to PSC, man.

11:24They gave me a great opportunity.

11:26Um, we're on ESPN two for, out of all the things I've done that that's what comes out

11:30on ESPN two is me pillow fighting, but, uh, but, uh, uh, yeah, no, it was, it's a great

11:38opportunity to have, uh, it's a, it's amazing to have Hector on this card.

11:41You know what I mean?

11:41He's, he's, he's truly a legend.

11:43So I'm excited for that.

11:45Yesterday I was with Yoel Romero.

11:47Uh, I did his podcast and I was telling him, you know, he's a, he's a great friend of mine

11:50too.

11:51He's like a brother to me.

11:52He's like family.

11:52So it was amazing to fight with him on the first DBX.

11:55He was the main event.

11:56You know, I got to, I got to be the feature fight and I'm going to feature fight on this

12:00one as well.

12:00So it's, it's awesome, man.

12:02No, it's a, it's a monster, monster sack card.

12:05Uh, Yuli Diaz is going to be fighting Phil Hawes.

12:08You got Hector Lombard making his DBX debut.

12:10Jarzino Rosenstreich in the first, uh, title fight against the Wolf, Rob Perez.

12:14This is going to be an awesome one, man.

12:15Can't wait for it.
