Why put your 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:37.520 body in your face and your arm legs do all that? 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:39.720 You get that question from all the time, don't you 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.599 Why you ain't doing it? Did because I ain't bigg enough. 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.159 You don't have to be big. Yeah, you can be 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.319 in a different weight class. Oh, I just I just 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.520 like you know, competition. So that's just who I am. 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.120 Anything that's you know that can possibly hurt you, I'm 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.200 down for it. Besides bungee jumping and scott diving. I 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.040 definitely tried. I always wanted to. You guys grow up 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.280 beating people up in school and somebody said, hey man, stop, 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:10.200 you know, just wasting your talents. Yeah, we were probably 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.160 pretty good in high school that, yeah, I was. I 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.240 was good. I've never been in a fight really until 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.480 out of high school. Really yeah, like in the street, 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.880 just in the general. I was just always athletic and 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.319 just tough, you know, being a kid growing up in 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.880 the country. I mean I fell out of trees and 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.120 all types of stuff like that and I still live. 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:32.080 So I was like, why not try something from Georgia, right, yeah, 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:39.480 part of Georgia raised on a dirt road. Nah. He 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.080 tried to bond. No, No, I got you now, like 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.399 the Marris Thomas place for the the demo Broncos. He's 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:53.440 from my hometown, NA for training. No, he doesn't. He 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.880 were not with me at least. And then Eric Walden 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.560 plays for thank he plays for the coach. Now, Anthony, 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.480 you the top right guy, right, You're supposed to fight 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.560 A Bones Jones. Yeah, I was supposed to. But then 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:12.639 he wouldn't did cocaine, right, he did? He did some things, 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.920 but you know, that's just things he has to deal with. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.320 You know. Now I have Daniel Cormier who I'm fighting, 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:21.359 so that's what's my focus on right now. But disappointed, Yeah, 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.440 I'm disappointed because every because you know, when you get 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.360 to this level, you want to fight the best of 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.960 the best, And even though John isn't here right now, 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.880 he's still the best of the best in my opinion. 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.240 So I still have mad respect for him. I still 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.440 want to fight him. You know, it's nothing personal. It's 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:39.600 just I want to see if I can beat the King. 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.920 I think he will. Just you don't want to be 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.799 on top and then get booted like he did and 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.799 then not finish what you started. So I think he's 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.160 gonna come back even stronger. How long do you take 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:57.200 off between fights? A month? A month? Yeah, unless you 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:02.239 get unless you get injured, unless you get injured. Man, geez, 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.200 when you look at somebody like Balls Jones, don't you 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:05.840 know they say he did have a little drugge you 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.200 don't you feel like you gotta have some type of 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.560 vice for what y'all do to take the heads off? Nah, 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:15.160 I think you need to support yourself with good people. Yeah, yeah, 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.200 good people. I mean, I think we're all capable of 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.520 doing super things, right, so you gotta be smart enough 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.280 to surrounde you some people that aren't going to put 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.800 you in those situations. It's not easy. It's easier. Now, 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:28.840 do you beat somebody until they say uncle or does 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.239 it ref stop? You can probably kill somebody in the face. 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.400 I mean, it's a controlled environment. It's a controlled environment. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.480 You know. You got you your opponent, and the ref, 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.200 the ref isn't gonna let you take too much damage 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.600 unless he absolutely knows that you can take it, you know. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.360 And I've seen some guys get beat up and just 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.720 keep going, you know, and those are the toughest guys 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.360 to fight. I hate fighting guys like that. Now, Chris, 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.600 you yourself to have said that after an injury you 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.120 come back stronger because your bones are actually stronger after 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.680 you've had certain injuries, right, yeah, I mean your bones 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.640 are strong. But also, like anytime you have a setback 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.680 of anything, any part of any part of life, you know, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.640 you you have to learn from it. And so I 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.680 think having injuries is one way of doing that, you know, 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.640 you know, becoming better from a setback. Sometimes I prevent you, though, 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.360 from having that fight that you anticipated having because they 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.320 can't wait on you obviously when you get injured it 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.440 and they're like, okay, yeah, well my fight actually had 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:21.920 to get pushed back because I got to injury and 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.160 frash my ribs and so, but thank god we were 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.520 able to hold the fight together. And still I'm still fine, Vito. 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.880 I'm a twenty third, so it's good. Why do you 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.920 think the UFC isn't as big as boxing yet? Because 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.719 it's way more exciting, well, at least, I'm not gonna 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.920 say it is way more exciting than like the big 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.239 fights like the Pakia may Weather stuff. But it seems 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:40.920 like people on it. Well, I feel like that's all 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.160 you have though who else? Who else is there? And 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.320 I feel I feel like MMA. I feel like MMA 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:50.120 is already is bigger, has been around for so yeah, 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.840 that the world knows about boxing, we're still very new 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.640 because when we tried to come in here, we told 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.360 the security guy in the front desk, you know we 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:03.680 were with the UFC, said us see we were like, man, 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:05.599 Chris were just like, you know, this is still a 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.440 new sport and we've been around for how many years now, 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.520 like fifteen something like that. You can't have fighting. Hang on, 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.320 Let's get something straight. Boxing is not fighting. It's just 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.000 one element of fighting. It's like saying wrestling is fighting, 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.520 So saying you know, karate is fighting, you have to 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.960 I'm looking around you if you say, it's not fighting. 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.599 The UFC is exactly what you're allowed to do on 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.040 the streets without bringing any weapons to the game. It's 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.800 pretty much as real as it gets. Boxing is just 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.640 throwing your hands. You can't kick, you can't take the 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.159 dude down, you can't submit them. I mean, it's really 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.159 not fighting. It's just one aspect. It's a it's an 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.560 amazing part of it. With her name Ronda Rosy, she 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.320 said she could beat me whether I was like she 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.360 probably could. She probably could. She could do You feel 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.360 it's offensive when boxes are always like, Okay, I'm gonna 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.440 start doing you know, MMA now, and people feel like 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.839 they could really just step into it and they don't 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.680 realize it is a whole Boxing has a mentality just 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.560 you know, they have so many people in their ears 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.120 and saying, you know, you're the best year of the 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.600 champ you can do whatever. I think. They getting mixed 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.000 up a little bit and it drives them crazy, so 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.000 they feel like they're on top of the world whenever 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:11.720 they actually get in there with somebody that knows mixed 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.039 martial arts, and once they hit the ground, they're like 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:15.640 a fish out of water. They don't know what they do. 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.240 From that point, they're done and they go back to boxing. Yeah, 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.240 who made a brother from the hood learn how to 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.640 do the mixed martial arts thing? Um? You know, I 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.719 was in college and wrestling, and I was finished with wrestling. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.880 I wasn't going to try and you know, try and 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.760 go out for the Olympics or anything. So I just 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.920 kind of fell into it. You got belt and stuff like, 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:36.919 you know, like a black belt. No, oh, so you 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.760 didn't go like the actual And that's what I'm saying. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.040 I never I never did any martial arts. I never 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.920 threw one single punching wrestling. But wrestling that was it. 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.080 But help, So how did you get in because it's 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.800 UFC is not even here right? Yeah, it's been Yeah, 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.880 same exact thing. I started with wrestling. I wrestled throughout college, 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.120 and then I kind of grew up fighting a lot. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:58.760 So I kind of always even if I was the 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.280 loser to a dude and wrestling, I'd always be like, no, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.839 he definitely can't beat me in a fight. So I 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.359 just ended up feeling like this is kind of what 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.200 I was meant to do, and then I try it 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.559 for the two thousand Olympics. I got injured before the trials, 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.120 and I was like, let me try mixed martial arts 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:12.320 and I just fell in love with it. But when 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.239 the last time you thought christ because like you got bruises. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.200 Now I'm I'm in a tough training camp. This is 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.280 actually from a headbut you know so yeah, no training 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.000 camp is you know, you want your training camp to 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:24.800 almost be harder than the fight. So when you get 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.280 in there, you know you're not uncomfortable. There's nothing that 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.160 you haven't seen before. So how do you get the 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.680 key looy things on you? Oh the college flower, that's 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.800 just colle flower is just like bruising. So you could 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:36.600 get it from boxing, you get from wrestling. But it's 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.560 basically when your ear gets hit, it swells up with 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.280 blood and if it gets hit again and gets hit again, 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:46.200 ends up calcifying and then you're you're you're just yeah, 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.680 that's crazy. I mean, I just thought about it, like 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.560 the training have to be that intense because because when 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.880 you go actually fight, it's on level media. There's nothing. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.000 What I don't think there's one thing worse in the 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.320 world than to be in a fight with a with 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.880 a professional athlete. I'm trying to take your head off 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.400 and you're tired, you can't do anything. Thanks. I mean, 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.280 there's nothing worse than that. So you have to make 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.560 sure you were training, you know, like a crazy man, 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.240 so that doesn't happen. I think I think about the money. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.320 That's what keeps me standing. How much fighting is it? 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:15.760 Just you can give his ballpark because a lot of 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.480 kids would love to know. How much money do you get? 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:22.680 Good money? I mean to me is you know, it's 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.560 like anything, you have to start from the ground up. 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.760 You might make five hundred your first fight, the first 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.040 fight you could it could be. It depends on the promotion. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.800 be more than that. Yeah, it happens like that sometimes. 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.360 But then you know, when you're at the top of 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.600 the food chain, you can make you know, a half 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.400 a meal or more. You know, it just depends. Wow. 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:42.839 And I'm sure the training helps you all out in 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:50.640 the bedroom too, like when you're smashing chicks. Nothing. Who's 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.680 the worst type of fighting? The fight always says he 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.960 will never fight a Mexican because he says, Mexicans don't stop. 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.680 They don't stop. Now, they have heart, they have hard heart. 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:07.559 You gotta kill him. The only book person you're upcoming fight. 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:11.880 But for he's Brazilian right teams Anthony's team, How you 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.960 give him some tips on how he can did? Did that? 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.080 Does seem? And this is Aaron in Florida, right, so 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:21.480 Victoria all his weaknesses. Now, do you think that I'm 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.960 actually knowing things like jiu jitsu and stuff like that? 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.600 That does put you in an advantage? Yeah, I mean 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.079 you have to know everything to get to the top. 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.720 Where where where where we are at right now, Like 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.600 you have to know every single martial order. If you don't, 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.120 that's that's how the guy's going to beat you. So 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.360 we have to be the best we possibly can and 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:42.760 be masters in Brazilian jiu jitsu and kate boxing, boxing 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.480 and tie and tie um in wrestling. So you have 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:47.800 to be the best you can be in every one 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.280 of those things. Why is it illegal in New York? 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:55.079 It was a lot of it was basically corruption, basically 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.800 some dirty politics in New York. And one of those 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.720 guys he's not here anymore. One of the guys will 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.600 hold back from being voted for voted for an assembly. 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.439 He just got arrested. So I thought you made like 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:09.400 you killed him. Yeah, he's no longer What the but 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.800 it feels like it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen soon. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.640 It's gonna happen soon. They actually have a date set 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.920 December six and Madison Square Gardens they put it. They 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.960 put it a date set, so they put it aside. 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:23.160 I want to hopefully that will be a weapon. What 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:24.600 would that do for the sport? For to be in 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.240 a major market like Neil, I mean, this is the 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.959 epicenter of fighting. This is where you know, I leave 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.440 was at, you know, I mean the you know, Frasier 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.880 and all these other dudes in boxing. Their names were 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.960 Grace were graced on that Masster Square Garden bill boarding. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.600 For us to have that there is just be amazing. 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.040 And for it not to be there, it's just insane. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.000 It's been We're literally allowed to fight in every other 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.920 place in the world besides New York. That's crazy. There's 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.080 something wrong with that. Have you guys ever did this? 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.679 Like my son wrestles right, and I always thought to myself, 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.200 if somebody has you in the move right where you stuck, 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.600 why not tickle him? Have y'all ever try that? Because 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.480 your fingers is loose, y'all put him in a move 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:06.400 for me. Actually, that was a great on TV. You 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.079 don't have them, you don't have much time to think 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:09.520 like that. If I put you, if I put you 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.720 in a naked choke right now, because you're not thinking, 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:18.520 let me take them for five so that you can 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.600 put them in the riddle. Now, how are the endorsement 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.800 deals looking at because I'm sure the endorsement deals are 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.720 pouring in because I've heard a lot of people say 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.959 they would come into Vegas and have meetings to endorse 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:36.680 UFC be rolling in like that everything is cool. I 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.840 should say, you know right now, Um, we'll see, we'll 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.000 see everything works out. I think we just signed with 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.720 Rebodi pretty much, so it's a big chance. Thanks. I 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.240 was actually there because I was during the Floyd Mayweather fight, 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.640 the previous one a couple of fights ago, when they 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.800 were coming down and trying to sign the UFC deal. Yeah, 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.520 so it's signed. I think starting July fifth or six, 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.800 it's gonna be set in motion where you won't see 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.839 the UFC fighters out there with all different types of 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.520 sponsors anymore. It's gonna be just reboking maybe one or 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.040 two that the UFC allows in the cage. So it's 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.880 gonna be more like like the NFL, or or more 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.120 like the NFL basically like where you're sponsored by Rebok 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.120 or or Nike or whatever. And once again, that's where 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.400 it's tough because you have guys that have to start 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.600 from the ground up, you know what I mean. And 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.440 of course the lawyer you are, the less you get paid. 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.080 But you can build up to where you need to be. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.240 But once again, you got to put that work in 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.120 at the gym to get where you want to be. 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.760 Do they encourage you'll to do things outside of the 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.520 sport to make the sport bigger? Because I was talking 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.120 about the NFL this week and I said, the NFL 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.120 is the greatest reality show on the planet, because you 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.080 would think it was football season this week. We're in 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.920 the middle of the playoffs NHL and NBA, but all 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.800 they're talking about is football. So did they tell y'all 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.400 to hey, I don't know, has some great reality shows 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.120 for the USC already. Anyway, we'll get a celebrity chick 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:55.360 card something like that. If I was single, I might 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.120 be going for that. But oh, you guys are both married, right, 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.240 so you need to go to some celebrity check He's 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.800 not happen. I'm trying to keep my face out of 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.559 me as much as I can have you guys, ever, 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.240 just ung out and then got into altercation with somebody 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.280 that I just didn't know. It was disrespectful, like sometimes 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.360 people are. That's that's you know, that's every guy's worst fear. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:20.839 Absolutely like being a ball with somebody. Yeah, this is 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.360 before I was a UFC fire but I was a 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:26.320 professional fighter. One of my boys who loves to start trouble, 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.199 started in trouble with this big, big juice head. And 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.760 my friend's way more intimidating looking than me, So the 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:33.840 juice head didn't want any problems with my boy he wanted. 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:35.600 He looked straight at me. He started coming at me 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.360 because I looked like nothing comes straight at me throws 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:39.920 a punch. I just throw him on the floor and 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.360 I started just just embarrassing him. I just started slapping 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:47.040 him in the face, like just not Then he got 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.720 back up after getting embarrassed like that, and I was 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.480 I still wasn't mad. It was just kind of funny. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.680 I was just embarrassing them. The bouncers were laughing, everybody 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.640 was just letting it happen. He gets back up, he 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.480 tries to throw another punch, I'm like, are you kidding me? 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.160 Throwing back down on the floor against did the same thing, 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:01.440 just slapping on the top of the head, like what 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.520 are you gonna do? What are you gonna do it? 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.559 I guess because you know, yeah, I'm not gonna punch 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.439 him in the face. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. I'm 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.400 not gonna like but like, and that was that was 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.199 maybe like that was like five years ago. That was 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.640 my last tree fight. I hardly go out anymore, but 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.680 I always get asked that same question. I always get 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.280 asked you get messed with and no, not really, no truth. 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.360 Nobody's smart is really gonna because you don't look as 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:27.920 big as him him. He looks big and bro, you 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.880 might be like, yeah, but you gotta, you know, button up. 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.120 Somebody might test you one time, maybe with your your lady, 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.320 your wife, and say something like, oh you would whoop 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.640 their ass. So are the rules that you're allowed to 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.240 give a nuggie and you won't get in trouble for that. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.120 I think if I'm not gonna leave any marks, I 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:41.840 figured I'm good. That's why I was doing that little 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.800 couple of slaps of the face little nuggie here there. 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:45.640 I think you're good. But if you start punching the 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.680 dude and then he's gonna have black eyes and or 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:53.120 he's gonna have brain damage, you got Jesus Christ damage 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.320 too far. Man, You don't know, you don't know, it's 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.400 head his sidewalk. Do y'all have to register yourselves as 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.200 weapons because always say that about boxes. They got to 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.680 register their hands is a deadly weapons or we're licensed, 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.480 were licensed fighters. So I think right right away, I 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.960 think that's pretty much the same thing you if you 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:11.400 if you go to court, and you know, if I 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.920 beat up that dude and and he's taken to the court, 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.360 you know, I know what I'm doing, I know what 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.400 my hands could do, and and so I'm kind of 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.280 I'm in trouble now. Form Anthony Rebad Johnson. I had 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.080 read an article where we've been following the John Bones 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.320 Jones story where you had said that you felt like 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.360 people were trying to seem like that fight that you're 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.160 about to do is not legitimate because it's not him. 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:33.800 So can you speak a little bit about that and 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.840 how important it is. Um At the end of the day, 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.640 John made his own bed, you know what I mean, 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:45.840 And they had like Daniel Comer and myself are not 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.960 fighters that like, we're not legit fighters, and if we 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.320 don't beat John, it seems like it doesn't matter. Well, 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.360 that's not the case John. John beat himself outside of 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.360 the cage, you know what I mean, And that's why 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.640 he's not with us right now. So they give they 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.920 gave me and Daniel an opportunity to be number one now, 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.520 you know, and we don't. We don't take any credit 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.600 from John because he's still the best. But people still 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.000 need to respect us because we go out there and 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.640 we put on the line. We're still fighting for a title. 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.280 Either way. They can say what they want to say. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.320 We're still gonna do what we do. They're gonna love 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.240 us if they're gonna hate us. At the end of 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.200 the day, it doesn't really matter what they say. Well, 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.840 then John left fright against Daniel. Yeah, yeah, okay. Are 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.600 you guys all friends with each other outside? Like I 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.040 gotta fight you, but we're cruel y'all fight man? Like, Yeah, 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.200 y'all like try to kill each other. Depends It just 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.960 depends on Like you know, John Daniel weren't friends. Nah, 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:41.040 they hated. Yeah, but men, DC are cool. Man, DC 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.280 are pretty cool. Um. I mean we speak and didn't like, 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:45.960 you know, I called him up and you know, ask 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:47.760 him how his day was on the phone or anything. 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.520 But we're cool. It's gotta be kind of rough though, 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.120 because you might kick it with him and see him 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.240 with his wife, his kids and beating them up in 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.440 the mean. It's weird because you know, fight us have 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.680 that that own off switch. Either you have it or 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.600 you don't. But you know, this is it's just a business. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.520 This is what we're doing. This We do it because 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.840 we love to do it, just because we beat each 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.560 other up. And the cage doesn't mean we have to 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.040 hate each other outside of the cage. And when you 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.480 lose though, you yeah, it still it is what it is. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.200 How do you do you have four losses? So how 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:16.879 when you lose? How do you get back up and 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:18.920 be like I prepared for the next one because it's 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.600 like that fight is always on even when you lose. 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.880 And how did you lose up? I don't know. Well, 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.520 if I lose, I'm just like he was the better 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.560 guy that night. I did my best, so I'm happy 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.480 at the end of the day. I mean, I'm disappointing 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.840 in the results, but I'm still happy with myself because 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.159 I did the best that I could do. So I 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.200 don't put that type of pressure on myself that if 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:37.560 I lose it's the end of the world. Are you 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.359 scared to lose, Chris because you're undefeated at the moment. No, 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:44.639 I'm not scared to lose. Man. Uh, it's it's not 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.160 an option. Can't be scared of it. It's not gonna happen. 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.359 Don't you feel like, especially when you see things like 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.240 up here before Floyd was finding everybody wanted him to 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:53.680 lose because they wanted him to have a loss. Do 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.240 you feel like people are like, Okay, he's winning too much, 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.480 we need to see a loss. Yeah, I mean, I 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:00.479 got I got plenty of your daughters and haters out 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.639 there that would love to see me lose. Um, but 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.200 that's just fuel for the fire. The great thing about 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.280 daughters is that they're always going to be there, so 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.160 it's a good motivational two and a half. So I'd 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:13.840 like to shut him up. I don't think people want 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.879 to see you lose, and if you're convincingly destroying people, 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:19.720 you know what I mean? I think it's it's different 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.879 with Floyd because he's always got haters though yet to 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:28.159 watch that he boxed though, Boy, it doesn't run. He 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.440 just he's a good boxer. He understands. He's a great 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.920
