I know I can knock anybody out look at my last however many fights first round dropped thomasa first round dropped Eddie wiland first round dropped H konz I dropped MHO dropped alj Jo I find people's chins that's what I'm [Applause] saying I believe if I find morab chin I'm put his lights out on that note we welcomeing UFC banto champion sha Ali I don't know Sean if I've ever had anyone on the show with a better shot right there leave it to you uh to put on a show how are you feeling this morning thanks for being with us I feel good I feel even better after watching that little highlight reel right there I love that there we go fire it up so um Sean we had Dana White on the show yesterday obviously he's been in the game a long time right I've never seen him so excited about a card putting this event at the spear we've never seen anything like this in Las Vegas it's going to be an epic show you always put on a show with the Kos how excited are you and what does it mean to you to be the main event at the first show at the sphere yeah Dana was giving me I was in Vegas a couple days ago and Dana took me down to the little sphere room and was giving me a little tour of it and there was no cameras on and he was so fired up I could wa I was watching him get goosebumps on his arms was giving me goose bumps and uh yeah even being around Dana Dana's Dana's The Man He's The Legend being around him gets you gets you fired up motivated inspired but this feels different this feels legendary like you know this is my third time headlining um pay-per-view this feels you know bigger Sean Mor Rob is is is no joke he's considered Elite obviously his conditioning is off the charts he's well known for that and his grappling ability and what have you some people are labeling him your toughest opponent yet number one do you feel that way and number two whether you do or not what specific kind of threat does he pose to you yeah it's I it's easier to answer who's the tougher opponent after I fight these guys Peter Jan was a dog Adine Sterling on paper was you know the hardest match up for be of the division put his lights out in two um so yeah bar Rob's cardio is absolutely insane topnotch one of the best in the UFC but it doesn't matter how good your cardio when you're sleeping on the canvas knock out sugar when you go into a fight let me ask you a question when you go into a fight are you looking to try to end it or you just like picking your spot and they just come naturally because once you touch somebody they go down yeah I I mean I definitely don't force The Knockout uh prime example my last fight against Cheeto Vera the dude wouldn't go away but I was able to and the openings it's 25 minutes people are saying oh maras 25 minutes I have 20 25 minutes to find his chin as well Dana Dana White has said this is a love letter to Mexico on obviously Mexican Independence Day weekend you know I want to know what does that style when they talk about the Mexican style of fighting what does that mean to you uh I think yeah Mexicans are some of the hardest people to knock out you know I've sparred a lot of Mexicans I fought a couple Mexicans they're very very durable very tough they'll they'll they'll hit you they'll get inside get hit to give one back um I'm gonna go out there Mor Rob saying he's gonna box me stand up and fight Mexico that is the absolutely craziest thing he's ever said and he said some crazy things but uh yeah I'm I'm honored to headline the Mexican card John let me ask you this um Monday morning what do you think is going to be the headline after this fight at the sphere I think it's going to be Sunday morning it's going to be that beautiful that no they not going to be able to not talk about it it's going to be the you know a couple hours after it's going to go I I believe I'm getting these Boston Vibes when I went out there and knocked out algid Sterling you know a lot of similarities in my Camp you know you know what my weights are you know just just weird little things I'm getting a lot of boss it's Al's best friend Mor Rob Alo is gonna be in the corner I'm gonna enjoy watching alj Jo's reaction after I sleep Mor Rob as well so it's just uh I think it's going to be the sugar show does it again we have to start stop doubting this kid I'm an underdog again which I enjoy you're an underdog got fight yeah go ahead Shannon go ahead sh no go ahead go ahead steephen go ahead because because see I'm wondering I'm thinking about this right now with you know Canelo is fighting on the same night in the sport of boxing at the T-Mobile Arena you're fighting as sphere obviously you think your numbers are going to be better than his and if so what should that tell us about the UFC or you if that happens I do believe that the numbers will be better for the UFC and us that night I do believe Sunday Monday that week it'll all be about the UFC the sugar show um I'm fighting the I'm I defended my the belt the bandwe champ fighting the number one guy on a 10-fight win streak in the UFC the best the biggest platform in sporting in in uh MMA Sports and then Canelo was fighting a guy I know you told me his name the other day and I forgot it already I just I think this is yeah burrito think so I think thiso I think this is just I think UFC we're going to crush it we're gonna crush it well I don't have anything I just want to wish you good luck Sean uh I'm gonna be at the fight I'm looking forward to it and I want to see some Dynamite I want to see somebody I want to see somebody get
