Pratica di Shadowing: Will Conor McGregor Come Back and Fight Paddy Pimblett? - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Creazione lezione...
1
The Joe Rogan Experience.
2
That's a scary one for fighters too because
3
The thrill of cocaine for some reason is exciting to people who love like exciting things.
4
Like there's something about fighters or adrenaline junkies.
5
They like to be pumped up and yeah.
6
Connor seems to enjoy it, which is one of the things that makes me think he probably won't come back.
7
But if he does come back, it's got to be now.
8
You know, again, at 36 years old now.
9
Patty Pimblitt.
10
That's the fight.
11
That'll be a big...
12
- That's gonna be a big fight.
13
- Big, big fight.
14
- Yeah.
15
I don't even think Conor's in the drug testing pool anymore.
16
no?
17
I don't think so I don't believe so I don't believe so.
18
See if you can Google that.
19
Find out if he's in the drug.
20
I think he pulled out of the drug test.
21
I think he's going to come back.
22
You think so?
23
Yeah.
24
If they give the opportunity to, I don't know, to guys like, I don't know, 40 years old, like Arlovsky.
25
You can have so many names that they fought at four years age.
26
Why not Conor?
27
I know that you won a world title fight at 155, but would you make an exception for a Conor McGregor fight at 155?
28
Thank you.
29
But right now?
30
No. No. No. Good for you.
31
Do you think it's gonna be excited if I beat Islam and then I give the chance to Connor?
32
No, I mean like right now before Islam.
33
Like if the UFC calls you up and says, I know you want a world title fight, we guarantee you a world title fight after this.
34
Actually, we had that talk.
35
Really?
36
Yeah.
37
But yeah, I don't know.
38
What was that talk?
39
Tell me what that talk was like.
40
No, no, no. Come on, come on, come on.
41
After this one, I'm gonna get sound calls.
42
You know how the UFC is.
43
They are very specific.
44
Yeah.
45
Don't say anything.
46
To no one.
47
Well, no one's listening.
48
You can tell everybody.
49
Yeah.
50
Only a couple of million of people is listening.
51
Yeah.
52
No one's gonna know who it is.
53
It'll slip right by.
54
I say, "Yeah, if they offer me a fight against Conor right now,
55
We'll see why not why not why not why I wouldn't say no I wouldn't say no just for the numbers Yeah, cut of that paper and it hits 2 million pies.
56
Yeah.
57
Whoa.
58
Why not?
59
That's the thing about Connor.
60
It's like still Yeah, even though he might not be the best fighter in the world right now.
61
He's still the he's the golden goose.
62
Of course he is.
63
Yeah, that's something crazy You can't take up kind of amazing, you know, that's still he still guarantees that many eyeballs will go to see him
64
great one but What excites me more is the fight with Patty.
65
Really?
66
Yeah, that fight excites me even more.
67
And if they could put that fight in Spain in the Bernabeu Stadium.
68
I know that Dana doesn't like to put the events in the stadium, but that's the only stadium in the world that they can close the roof.
69
Oh, okay.
70
Yeah.
71
And this prepare for that kind of...
72
How many people?
73
80 ,000.
74
You get 80 ,000 in Spain easy too.
75
Yeah.
76
If you're fighting in Spain?
77
No problem.
78
Oh my god, that would be insane.
79
I might have to go to Spain for that.
80
And a lot of people could travel from England to Spain.
81
Oh yeah.
82
And that happens very often.
83
But if they do it in Spain, it's got to be on Spain time.
84
They can't do that shit that they did when Leon Edwards fought.
85
It has to be in Spain time, but I think that with the negotiations they are having with ESPN
86
and I don't know which platform they are going to put the UFC events.
87
they're going to ask for space for four or five events in Europe in the prime time. For Europe.
88
Yeah, for Europe.
89
Europe prime time.
90
Listen, Europe prime time is fine because it's in the afternoon in America.
91
That's fine.
92
So the fights at one o 'clock in the afternoon, people watch football games, a hundred million people watch a football game at one o 'clock.
93
Europe still has to be a virgin market, you know what I mean?
94
Yes.
95
You got...
96
500 million people in Europe.
97
It's more than the United States, even.
98
Right.
99
Right.
100
And if they did it on Netflix, everybody has Netflix.
101
Everybody has Netflix.
102
That might happen.
103
That's why.
104
They're in negotiation right now.
105
That will be a massive one. In Spain? In Spain.
106
Oh my god.
107
Against that pimple.
108
What happened with you two?
109
Because I saw the video where you guys are yelling at each other.
110
Was it in a hotel or something?
111
Yeah, he said something about Georgia.
112
Oh, he said something about your country?
113
What did he say?
114
He said, "Now I understand why the Russians are bombing Georgia or something like putting bombs in Georgia.
115
Whoa.
116
Whoa.
117
Don't joke with that.
118
You can joke about me.
119
Say whatever you want to say about me.
120
Whatever, he's a mushroom, he's this, he's that, da da da.
121
Don't talk about war because you don't know How is it?
122
Right.
123
That's a crazy thing to say.
124
Don't say that.
125
- Yeah.
126
That was the beginning of it.
127
Just out of nowhere he said that?
128
He said that on Twitter.
129
Oh, wow.
130
He said that on Twitter.
131
Maybe he was Too high, too drunk, I don't know.
132
He was talking shit, you know, I mean it gets people to pay attention.
133
He's really good at getting people to pay attention.
134
Yeah.
135
He is.
136
He's really good at that.
137
I mean, he could be the next Conor McGregor star.
138
Like that kind of a star where the whole world is watching.
139
He has that weird personality.
140
Yes.
141
Yeah, he has that.
142
Well, he's very disarming.
143
Because people, they see, I talked about this in the last pay -per -view.
144
I said, I said it's a very sneaky trick.
145
Because guys like you look at you the way you carry yourself, that's a fighter.
146
Like you look at that guy's a dangerous motherfucker.
147
But when you see Patty, he's dancing like this, his hair is flopping around like he's in the Beatles.
148
You know, he's like, he seems silly, but then he fucks people up.
149
And so I think people get confused.
150
Yeah, but he fucks people up like...
151
Michael Chandler Right.
152
But when he he he faced a real fight who did he face?
153
Well, he hasn't faced anyone that good yet.
154
But he fucked up Michael Chandler better than Charles Oliveira did.
155
It does.
156
And Charles Oliveira even this what I was telling you before like when you got 10 losses in your record,
157
it's not one, two, three, four, five, six.
158
That's ten.
159
Yeah.
160
Like...
161
When you're walking with a guy that has 10 loses, The level of confidence is completely different.
162
It's completely different than when you walk in with a guy that is undefeated.
163
Right.
164
He's a dangerous guy in the striking, in the ground game, everywhere you look at him, he's a dangerous guy.
165
He never takes a lose.
166
That's a different mentality.
167
You gotta you gotta have to kill him to give up.
168
He's not gonna even give up You're gonna have to kill him in the case of Charles if he finds some adversity, He's gonna go to the ground,
169
he's gonna sit, and he's gonna be waiting, like, till you end up the fight.
170
This is what I think, this is what I feel, this is what I see.
171
Well, that was certainly the case early in his career.
172
I think things changed with him when he had a child.
173
Then he went on that run and became a champion
174
and like when he beat Justin Gaethje when he beat all those guys He was he was pretty elite man.
175
He was really fucking good and when he beat Chandler, when Chandler beat him up in that first round, he came back in the second round and fucked him up.
176
Chandler.
177
Yeah.
178
Yeah.
179
I know what you're saying.
180
I get it.
181
Connor's been tested 11 times last year, five the year before, and none this year.
182
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
183
Yeah.
184
He was tested this year?
185
No. None this year.
186
None this year.
187
That's what I'm saying.
188
11 times last year.
189
Yeah, I'm not sure if he's in the testing pool anymore.
190
I don't know.
191
I don't know.
192
I've heard no plans.
193
You know the UFC would tell me.
194
I would say, "What's going on with Connor?" and I don't even bring it up anymore.
195
It's...
196
I think with him it's gonna happen like instantly if something happens.
197
Well, that's crazy.
198
I mean
199
if he's gonna prepare he needs like a real Long camp
200
to really get his body back to fighting shape like real fighting shape
201
and he's got to remember You know what happened when he came back from boxing and then fought Dustin Poirier.
202
It depends who he's gonna face because if you put him against a Against me,
203
he needs to die and be burned again.
204
Yeah.
205
I hear ya.
206
Yeah.
207
When you think about like your division when you were the champion at 145, would he have been the fight that you would have won when he was in his prime at 45?
208
Would that be the number one fight that you would have wanted at 145? For sure.
209
- Yeah.
210
- For sure.
211
- My God.
212
- For sure.
213
He was a dangerous guy in 145.
214
- He was so big.
215
- He was big, dangerous.
216
He had that knockout power, smart.
217
Yeah.
218
Yeah.
219
you know but He wanted to fight Walter weight when he came back like when they were talking about Chandler.
220
He said he wanted to fight at middleweight and And Chandler was like, okay, but...
221
You know, part of me wonders whether he was ever really going to come back, you know?
222
It's You know what I mean?
223
I really think that at some point he's gonna come back because I don't think that he
224
He wants to leave the sport with a defeat.
225
Right.
226
This what I what I don't think.
227
I think that he's going to come back, try to get the win, and then retire in the octagon.
228
Well, I'd like to see that.
229
I'd like to see him one more time.
230
um, It'd be good for him, too, to actually go to a real camp and stop partying.
231
you know.
232
It would be good for him, for his family, for everyone. For everyone.
233
But at that same point, he's going to stop.
234
He's got a lot of legal problems, too, you know?
235
There's a lot going on with him in Ireland.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
