All right, today's episode of the A Game podcast is a re-release in support of Al Jamein,

the Funkmaster Sterling fighting for the UFC Bantamway title this weekend.

He is on the undercard for Adasanya and Blahovitz at UFC 259.

It's a three main card title fight event, which is awesome.

So Al Jals on the top three of that, it's going to be an amazing fight. We did this episode right before his last fight with Corey Sanhagen, where we talked about him choking that fool out, which he did, which was great. Talked about his jihitsu and how people were not going to know how to react when he grabbed them. And that's exactly what happened. So really excited for him this weekend. So I figured I re-released this in support of him. Ray Longo, Matt Serra, Al-Aquinta, and the whole Saralongo team. So good luck to Aljo. Check him out this weekend on the UFC card. Hopefully he gets out of there unscathed and comes in and gets another nice quick win. Takes home a belt, wins the championship he's been working so hard for him and brings back title to Long Island, Sarah Longo, a law MMA.

So good luck to him, good luck to the team, good luck to all the guys. That's going to be awesome.

Welcome to the A-game podcast with Nick LaManya, digging into the minds and experiences of some of today's brightest entrepreneurs in real estate and business, along with Hollywood stars, UFC fighters, and your favorite rock fans.

People that have figured out how to overcome obstacles,

take chances, live boldly, and no matter what they do,

they always bring their A game.

All right, my guest today on the A-game podcast is the Bantamweight UFC contender,

Al Jermaine, the Funkmaster Sterling.

Also, real estate investor, getting ready for his fight, working out of the dog pound,

coming fresh off the gym, and meeting a contractor at his house,

and now knocking out an interview, doing the damn thing, man. So what's going on? How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good. I'm excited two and a half weeks away from the biggest fight of my life. You know, every fight's the biggest fight. And right now this is the biggest fight. And hopefully this is the one that gets me to the one that ever so elusive title shot, you know, so I'm excited, man. Can't ask for anything better than this, you know, besides the world opening back up. Yeah, yeah. That's cool, though, man. I thought it was, I thought it was interesting when I saw, I think I texted you, or I hit you up on Twitter when he was like, all right, I'm retiring.

And I was like, what the fuck is that?

Like, what's going on right now? Like, is he serious? And then I think later on at the press conference, he actually was like, yeah, Aljo deserves that shot. They give it to him. So I thought that was cool that he started, you know, because usually he's kind of talking shit and not saying anything serious and the fact that he said that you deserve that, I thought was really cool because, I mean, across the board, I think even Cruz, like most of the guys

that... he's kind of talking shit and not saying anything serious. And the fact that he said that you deserve that, I thought was really cool because, I mean, across the board, I think even Cruz, like most of the guys that you hear doing interviews are saying that you deserve that shot now. Yeah, it's good to hear. Good to see that my work is not going unnoticed amongst my fellow peers in the Van Nuade Division. And it was nice to hear that from Henry. Henry, I think he knows and recognizes that the

band-of-way division is full of sharks at this point. And anyone in the top 10, even the top 15

are killers. I think anybody could be a champion on any given day. It just speaks volumes about the depth of the division and for me to get the the nod on that and um him saying like let these guys kill each other because he knows like we're coming for him you know so if he doesn't get out now he knows that he's got a long list of guys that he's going to have his hands forward. So it's a good time to be abandoned weight. And I'm just excited, man, you know, all the work's coming together. And finally, long lay off with this injury. And I just can't wait to get back out there and mix it up again. Yeah, dude, I think it's awesome. I don't know if I told you this, but I was in a, I don't know, maybe a year ago, maybe a little bit less. But I remember when you were calling for a shot and Dominic Cruz said something like Al Jermaine Who or something like that, like trying to act like you didn't know who you were. And I think like two weeks before that I was out, man, maybe for one of Wyatmans or Al's fight. I was somewhere and I went for a run and he was running next to me at the hotel gym. And then we went up like leaving and we were in the elevator together. And I think I had your shirt on or like one of our guy's shirts on. And he was like, oh, there a long ago. And I was like, yeah. He was like, yeah, it's looking really good. I was like, yeah, it's my dude. He's looking good. He's like, yeah, good luck tomorrow or whatever.

And then like the next day, he was like, Al Jha, who?

I was like talking about the elevator yesterday.
