- I'll just rip out the harmonica.
Hit a little solo.
[harmonica playing]
It's hard to hit the harmonica while you're smiling.
[upbeat music]
What's up, GQ?
It's "The Suga Show"
and these are my 10 essentials.
[upbeat music]
You always gotta have The Suga Show gloves.
You never know when you're gonna get in a fight,
when you need to beat someone up.
And you need to protect your hands.
You can't be beating people up out there hurting your hands,
especially when they're your money makers.
So you gotta be able to throw these bad boys on
and protect them.
And some days it's kickboxing
where you will use the bigger gloves,
and then the MMA days, you'll use smaller gloves
so you'll be able to grapple and wrestle more.
It's hard to grapple and wrestle with the boxing gloves.
A lot of influencers and celebrities
are getting into boxing, which is sweet.
I think that's a perfect way to settle beef.
I wish more people that have beef
and then kind of box.
If I ever do a boxing match,
I think it'll be similar to when Connor fought Floyd,
when it's the pay-per-view king in the UFC
versus another pay-per-view king in boxing.
So Ryan Garcia, Travante Davis, those are two guys
that I could see myself potentially boxing
in five to six years.
I truly believe I could beat one of those guys.
It would be a very difficult challenge.
MMA fighting is definitely harder than boxing.
That's the reason you don't see any boxers
going over to MMA.
You see a bunch of MMA guys trying to go over to boxing.
That hasn't really worked out too well,
but you don't even see boxers come to MMA.
[upbeat music]
I game every day, so I couldn't bring my whole PC set up.
But this is the second best thing is a gaming laptops,
huge part of my life is streaming every day.
When I went to Abu Dhabi and fought,
I was there for three weeks.
I had my whole stream set up.
So I was able to not only game but I was able to stream.
I get obsessed with one game.
It was like Fortnite for like three years,
now it's called "Duty Warzone 2."
Well, if I try to get in gun fights with the good guys,
I end up dying.
So I'm kind of like running behind the good guys.
Started streaming about six years ago
when I got signed at UFC.
I was like might as well make money while I'm gaming.
I've been gaming my entire life.
I started, you know, getting a following,
and it kinda just translated
over to, you know, now that I game, people wanna watch.
And it makes it a lot more enjoyable.
[upbeat music]
My next essential is jewelry.
Once I started making a little bit of money,
I started buying some nice things.
I started getting into the watches.
That was also 'cause my boy, Steve,
he gifted me this Iced Out AP, one of my favorite watches.
I got a Iced Out Cardi, the clean looking Rolex
can't have everything iced out.
Got the USC Timex watch.
I had to get the Richard recently being number one
in the world about to fight for the title.
Got a flex on people out here.
The Richard was 100,
by far the most expensive jewelry I bought so far.
There's this other Richard, I really, really like.
My boy Neil might be sitting at the press conference.
I might buy it right then and there right after I win.
So we'll see.
It started with the little Suga chain.
Got a couple little diamonds on there
I think right after my first UFC fight
now we moved up to the big daddy Suga chains.
I think I paid 2500 for it
and then I think I paid $1,000
to get the diamonds on there.
I gotta get a couple Cubans.
This one's probably my fattest piece, this one's heavy.
You gotta have a couple little humble chains.
You gotta have the little gold pieces.
You have to have every color just in case,
you never know what you're gonna be wearing.
[upbeat music]
My next essential is a little Suga show condom.
Something about latex or something,
Lil Wayne said it best,
you always gotta have a little rubber on you at all time
just in case a little Mama Sita walks up on you.
You better be safe than sorry.
We did a Valentine's Day drop
and it was kind of like the first 100 people
to get some of the clothing,
we'll throw in a condom with you.
So make sure you guys are out there practicing safe sex.
[upbeat music]
My next essential it's gotta be my harmonica.
[harmonica playing]
Just came from streaming.
I think my buddy Tim might've just said it.
I bet I can play the harmonica better than you
when we both ordered one.
But now it's kind of just came in.
Every time I'm streaming someone hits me with a dono
or dropped some gifted subs.
I'll just rip out the harmonica.
Hit a little solo.
[harmonica playing]
It's hard to hit the harmonica while you're smiling too, so.
[upbeat music]
From an ex essential, it'll be the Suga robe.
No matter what you're doing
whether you're staying home, traveling,
you always gotta be comfortable.
The hotel robes, just don't cut it.
Oh, Suga robe does.
And how do you find a good robe?
You go to Sugashop.co.
You click add to cart, you click proceed to checkout.
You fill out your credit card information
fill out your address, click buy.
Might as well leave this on
for the rest of the interview, I'm very comfy.
[upbeat music]
Next, essential item would be a good pair of sunglasses.
You always gotta be looking good.
If I'm at the club, I have to have glasses on
'cause if I'm faded I feel like I'm invisible,
when I got my glasses on,
I feel like nobody can see me and I can act extra foolish.
I like these white Versaces, I like these pink Versaces.
These ones can kind of fit my style,
loud, obnoxious, like me a little bit.
For the most part, I don't really wear sunglasses inside
unless maybe I'm at a press conference,
I'm trying to, it's part of the style,
I'm looking good.
And pretty much 99% of the time at the club
I'll have some shades on.
[upbeat music]
For my next essential, this is one of my favorites.
It is a volcano vaporizer.
One of the healthiest ways to use cannabis.
A very powerful medicine for me.
Also, you gotta have to show a grinder
to grind up the medicine for the vaporizer, the volcano.
Of course we got the gold edition 'cause why not?
We put a bag on this thing,
heat it up to the perfect temperature.
There's a couple different temperature options here.
I like to do a light temperature
and I feel like it gives me a very clear-headed high
more so than like a joint or a balm or a pipe.
Click this little green button and it blows it up,
you're high, as easy as that.
[upbeat music]
All right, from my next essential
believe it or not, it's more Suga stuff.
We got the Suga beanie 'cause sometimes, believe it or not
I wake up, my hair's not looking too good.
Got the Suga socks, but you gotta stay looking good.
So the Valentine's Day drop
of course it's pink, a little Suga bag.
Carry your Suga condom in.
I'm 28 now, I started kickboxing when I was 16
so I started fighting basically when I was 16 as well.
Very shortly after that
I'd sell very very shitty, horrible, made,
like Suga merch already.
So, I've been wanting to do it,
I just had gotten to a point to where I could team up
with a good company that can make good quality stuff,
and I've been passionate about merch
since I was like 16, 17-years-old.
I could see Suga being a brand like a Gucci or Versace
and then it being a very high end brand.
And then not even being associated necessarily
with me as a fighter, but Suga as a brand.
If you were one of the first 100
you got the Suga condom.
So, you're welcome.
[upbeat music]
And for my final essential will be the sneakers.
These are the J Bell beans collab with Nike.
These are probably one of my favorite pair of shoes
which I like to stand out and be colorful.
If you guys didn't know,
I wouldn't say I'm super into shoes.
I just like colorful stuff.
So if it's colorful, I'll probably cop it.
The most expensive shoes I've bought
were probably around $900.
It's not too bad, nothing too crazy.
I like running, so I'm always trying to find the best actual
like running shoes, whether it's ASICS or Brooks.
So having an actual
like an athletic collab would be really cool.
[upbeat music]
GQ, thank you guys for having me,
make sure you guys tune into my next fight,
I will be fighting for the title.
