He also previews his upcoming matchup with Roman Dolidze, shares the type of finish he's expecting, and discusses the opponents he wants after a statement victory. The conversation also dives into: Why elite grapplers sometimes struggle to transition into MMA. His thoughts on UFC BJJ, RAF Wrestling, and competing outside the Octagon. Why he believes Arman Tsarukyan should stay active instead of waiting for a title shot. Training alongside Mike Brown, King Mo, and the stacked room at American Top Team after leaving Kill Cliff FC. The differences between ATT and Kill Cliff, and why the change has revitalized his career. His candid thoughts on ONE Championship, why he's happy to be in the UFC, and why fighters still contact him for advice on leaving the promotion. Why Jiří Procházka's unconventional training methods aren't for him. His prediction for the Roman Dolidze fight and what fans can expect inside the Octagon. It's an honest, insightful interview with one of the UFC's most dangerous submission specialists as he prepares for the next chapter of his career.

He got kicked out for smoking weed. He quit. Now he spars with UFC champions.Bryce from Up The Hill is back on First Smoke of the Day three years after his first episode. When we first met he was running loads up and down the state. Now he owns one of the top cannabis brands in California, just made his pro MMA debut in front of 21,000 people, and is training alongside Khamzat Chimaev and Arman Tsarukyan.This is what three years of full send actually looks like.This one is for the fighters, the growers, the brand builders, and anyone who has ever decided to go all in on something that mattered.Subscribe to First Smoke of the Day for weekly cannabis culture, strain drops and the realest conversations in the game. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Arman Tsarukyan breaks down Ilia Topuria's game, saying he boxed so much he stopped wrestling, doesn't kick, and would be easy to deal with using long kicks and wrestling. He predicts Ilia will win the belt, defend once, then move up to avoid him.
Arman Tsarukyan shares how he went from wrestling at 6, cutting weight as an 8‑year‑old, to becoming a pro hockey player who almost chased the NHL, then quitting construction after three months and sprinting back to combat sports instead.
Brendan Schaub breaks down a packed weekend in MMA, including Khamzat Chimaev vs Sean Strickland, JDM vs Carlos Prates, Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway rumors, Jake Paul calling out MMA fighters, and the bigger issues facing the UFC right now.Brendan explains why Khamzat's training camp reputation is unlike anything he's seen, why Sean Strickland may be good for the UFC business, and why this matchup has real bad blood behind it. He also reacts to Jack Della Maddalena's next fight, Carlos Prates' danger, Paddy Pimblett's tough path, BSD, Gable Steveson, Shavkat Rakhmonov's injury update, Arman Tsarukyan wrestling talk, and possible crossover fights involving MVP and Misfits.The episode also gets into Dana White taking a step back, the Paramount deal, UFC ticket prices, fighter pay, why the UFC may be losing future stars, and why elite athletes may choose football, baseball, boxing, or wrestling over MMA.Fighters discussed include Khamzat Chimaev, Sean Strickland, JDM, Carlos Prates, Conor McGregor, Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett, Jon Jones, GSP, Cain Velasquez, Jake Paul, and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Arman talks about training with Khamzat at his coach's no-frills garage, boasting he holds the watt-bike record no fighter has beaten, and explains how that kind of brutal conditioning, plus a stable home life, keeps him grounded in the middle of chaos.
Arman Tsarukyan explains why Armenians, Georgians, Dagestanis and Chechens grow up scrapping in villages, carry a different level of testosterone, and snap when you cross certain lines about family and respect—even while using trash talk to sell fights.
Arman Tsarukyan reveals he's the official backup for the UFC White House main event at Freedom 250 and says if Gaethje or Topuria pull out, he's 100% in, promising he'd give the fans an even better title fight if he's the one who walks out in DC.
Arman Tsarukyan jokes that Monaco makes everyone feel broke, says his rich friends laugh when he talks about “only” having 2–3 million, and tells Pat why he thinks Russian real estate can double your money in 8–10 years instead of 20.
