01:09 and the Drikus has turned down a title fight
01:11 against Izzy at UFC 293 in Australia.
01:14 Izzy is now offering the title fight to Sean Strickland.
01:17 - I don't even know how to start this, bro.
01:19 Drikus, the (beep)
01:21 You (beep)
01:22 Oh, all you had to do was put those on at low
01:24 so I was ready to go again.
01:26 No you weren't, you're a (beep)
01:28 That's why you're not taking this fight.
01:29 Your foot's sore.
01:30 (beep)
01:31 My knee was jacked too from my last fight.
01:34 Guess what I did, I showed up
01:35 'cause that's what a (beep) champion does.
01:38 Championship caliber, built different.
01:40 A lot of you fighters talk about,
01:42 "Oh, I'll fight anyone, anywhere, anytime."
01:44 No you won't.
01:45 I do.
01:46 Alex Volkanovski does.
01:47 We're built different.
01:49 I'm at the gym right now, about to get some (beep)
01:52 So I'm fighting in Sydney, I don't give a (beep)
01:54 Diklus Duplicy.
01:55 Diklus (beep)
01:58 You're out.
01:59 Strickland, you're in.
02:00 Let's do the man dance.
02:02 Show you how to really dance.
02:04 Yeah, well yeah, I just,
02:05 I'd title all you guys (beep)
02:06 if I could fight, I can fight.
02:08 No you can't.
02:08 You're a (beep)
02:10 On his Instagram, Sean Strickland accepted
02:12 as his offer for a title shot
02:14 and posted this saying, "Let's go."
02:16 Strickland also posted this footage
02:17 of him abandoning his fishing boat on the freeway.
02:20 Strickland says, "RIP 1992 sailboat.
02:23 "You were cheaper to leave than fix,
02:24 "but you will be remembered
02:25 "for all the times you almost sunk."
02:27 (wind blowing)
02:32 I'm gonna check in.
02:34 So we took the boat to the mission in Catalina.
02:37 This looks like where the boat is gonna live and stay.
02:40 So the goal is to get everything in the boat
02:44 and my truck and get the (beep)
02:46 out of here before it costs me.
02:47 Can't forget the Gatorade.
02:55 Not sponsored.
02:56 Oh.
02:58 Oh, it's so heavy.
03:02 Hey guys, my boat is broken on the side of the road.
03:06 Officers trying to help me out here.
03:08 If you want a boat, you guys,
03:10 you can (beep) have a boat.
03:12 It might be here till tomorrow.
03:14 So yesterday, UFC featherweights,
03:17 Nathaniel Wood and Leroy Murphy
03:19 got into a verbal confrontation
03:21 at the Fighter Hotel ahead of UFC London.
03:23 At the UFC London media day,
03:25 Nathaniel Wood said that Murphy confronted him first
03:28 and they got into a heated debate
03:29 about the recent trash talk on social media.
03:32 - There was a little bit of a run in
03:35 with Leroy Murphy this week at the hotel.
03:38 Can you talk a little bit about what happened?
03:40 - Yeah, so if I'm honest,
03:42 that, you know, I think the social media said it was heated.
03:45 That wasn't heated.
03:46 That was really calm from me.
03:48 But yeah, we just had a few words,
03:51 a little bit of a conversation, if anything,
03:53 or maybe like a heated debate.
03:55 I guess we still just disagree,
03:57 but it might just be one of those
03:58 where we're just gonna have to agree to disagree
04:01 and move on because nothing really
04:04 kind of went anywhere with that conversation.
04:07 I think, you know, it was just one of those,
04:09 we walked past each other and, you know,
04:11 I guess you've got to say something.
04:12 And he come up to me first.
04:15 I didn't even see him until I turned around.
04:16 He was walking through the hotel lobby.
04:18 But yeah, you know, it was a heated debate, if you like,
04:23 but yeah, there wasn't really too much to it, to be honest.
04:27 - And there were a lot of words exchanged between you two,
04:30 both on Twitter as well before.
04:33 Is there a little bit of animosity between you two?
04:37 - So that's where things did get heated, you know,
04:40 and it all stemmed from something that I said
04:42 where I think I was looking to put a masterclass on
04:46 for this fight, gutted it didn't happen,
04:48 hope I can get it rearranged or whatever.
04:49 And he took it personally, obviously, and then it atted me.
04:53 And then it just kind of went back and forth from there.
04:55 So it started from zero, ended up at a hundred.
04:57 And I guess, you know, what do you do with that?
05:01 Because yeah, I said things to him that, you know,
05:04 are very offensive to him.
05:06 He said things to me that are very offensive.
05:08 You know, he said things to me that, you know,
05:10 people were telling me I could go and speak to lawyers about,
05:13 but I'm not obviously going to do that.
05:15 But I think it just got over-escalated, you know.
05:20 I think it kind of started from nothing.
05:22 And I think deep down, he knows that as well.
05:24 You know, if I'm honest, I wish him all the best.
05:28 You know what I mean?
05:28 Obviously if we end up fighting, great.
05:31 I'm going to try and knock him out,
05:32 whether we're friends or whether we're not.
05:34 But I'm not losing any sleep over it, you know.
05:38 So I wish him all the best this Saturday.
05:40 Hopefully he gets the win.
05:41 I get my win.
05:42 And you know, if we can match up in the future
05:44 and fight then so be it.
05:46 - Leroy Murphy also gave his side of the story
05:48 about the run-in with Nathaniel Wood.
05:50 Here's what he had to say.
05:52 - I don't think it was a heated debate.
05:53 It's just a conversation.
05:55 For me, it's just like,
05:57 we had back and forth on the internet
06:01 and I think it was important to bring that to reality
06:04 and speak about it face to face, like men.
06:07 - Is there any animosity between you two?
06:10 - Nah, it's like everyone's saying,
06:13 "Oh, this is some beef, this is some beef."
06:15 Like, if it was a beef,
06:16 something would have happened there and then.
06:19 It's just a disagreement, really.
06:22 - And he said that you both said things
06:25 to each other over Twitter, like you mentioned.
06:27 He said something about you saying something to him
06:32 that perhaps he could get lawyers involved in.
06:35 I don't know if you know what that could be.
06:37 - What?
06:40 What could he have said?
06:40 Oh my God.
06:42 This is what I'm saying.
06:43 He's playing the victim.
06:43 He wants to call me out.
06:44 I was only responding to everything he said.
06:47 So I know what he's gonna say,
06:49 obviously it's about the mental health thing or something,
06:52 but basically he posted something about me saying,
06:55 "Oh, I'm mentally weak
06:56 "because I don't like to get in ice baths."
06:58 And I'm like, "Don't you take medication
07:02 "for your mental health?
07:02 "How can I be mentally weak?
07:04 "You can't call people mentally weak."
07:06 Do you get what I'm saying?
07:06 So that's all I said.
07:07 So you can't be calling out lawyers and all that.
07:12 Thought it was supposed to be a fire.
07:14 - Do you see this as a future fight between you and him?
07:18 I think he's quite keen to perhaps do this
07:21 as perhaps a main event for London somewhere down the line.
07:23 What do you think?
07:24 - Yeah, of course.
07:25 If we both keep winning and it makes sense.
07:26 Yeah, of course.
07:27 I'd love to beat him up.
