Speaker 3: I grew up with horses, cows, dogs.

68
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: I had chores to do before I would go to school,

69
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: and I come home and do tries before I go

70
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,240

72
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: time to go to bed and homework. So for me,

73
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: hard work is nothing. That's blue collar and that's Midwest.

74
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: That's all I know. You know, personalities, Midwest personality is

00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,360

90
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 3: That out here.

91
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: Eighty dollars haircuts, but.

92
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 3: They're also not as secretly racist either.

93
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 4: Difference as well.

94
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 6: Anyway, hold, I let me ask you. You mentioned your dad

95
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 6: was in a roofing had a roofing company. Okay, so

96
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 6: fighting is a very tough job. Let's throw that out

97
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 6: for just the record. Toughest job you ever had? Was what?

98
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 6: Tell folks what like what?

99
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: What?

100
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 6: Because I always feel like roofing it entails two big problems. One,

101
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 6: your balance better be on point right number one. I

102
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 6: would go to number one. And that's the other one too, Dude, I.

103
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: Mean you can't.

104
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 6: It's like even if you're a day laborer, you might

105
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 6: be able to get under the trees. Bro, you're I

106
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 6: mean you're getting cooked on that roof.

107
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: I mean me and my brother.

108
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: I was talking to my brother last night about this

109
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: and like it was not just roofing.

110
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: It's hard, but roofing for my father.

111
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: Anybody knows my father, He's just a hard work which

112
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: is where I got my mentality from. And I've worked

113
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: with other guys on the roof, like help somebody else

114
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: else's they house, or with another company. It was like

115
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: cake worker, this is this is easy. That's when my

116
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: father was always miserable. It was not just because it

117
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: was my father, just the way he works, and that's

118
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: the way I trained. So I was like the hot aspect.

119
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: It was it's crazy and the balance. And then like

120
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: growing up, I didn't get to do wrestling camps in

121
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: football camps like most people could.

122
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: I have had to work.

123
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: So my dad would turn every job like into like

124
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: a training camp for He would make me do certain

125
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: things in my wrestling stands, like stay in your stands

126
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: and pull the roof.

127
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 3: We're trying to say, but that's my father.

128
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: Everything he does, he make it into a workout, like

129
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: you think you missing workouts and practice.

130
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 4: Now you getting a different workout.

131
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: And then when I got in college, I got to

132
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: the point where I was trying to cut weight in

133
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: the summertime, I wear a hoodie on the wharf, and

134
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: like it started off and like midday, like one o'clock

135
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: when it's the hottest, my sweatshirt is soaking, Like, yo,

136
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: take your hoodie off, Like I'm good.

137
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: You mean, it was just mentally like if I can work.

138
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: Through this all day, eight nine hours a day and

139
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: just sweat like I'm about to die when I get

140
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: back to college, practice ain't gonna be nothing. When the

141
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: coach turned the heat up, I'm so it's okay. I'm

142
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: at home right now. So that's just the mentality.

143
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: Different, different kind of animal.

144
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 5: We say that in general about fighters, because you guys

145
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 5: are different and we look up to a lot of

146
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: those almost courageous aspects. But how about the hard work,

147
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 5: the dedication. Do you feel like throughout your history, whether

148
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 5: it's beend collegiate wrestling, whether it's been mixed martial arts,

149
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 5: that more often than not, you've just outworked people like

150
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 5: you got skill, you got technique. You've knocked some mfors out.

151
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 5: But for a while it must have been like you

152
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 5: could see people breaking and you'd be like the roof

153
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 5: in the midwester.

154
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: Like all that it prepared me for this.

155
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: One hundred percent.

156
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: I've dedicated all to that, you know, ever since, like

157
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: you said, high school, college, I wasn't a good wrestler

158
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: until I got to college.

159
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: You know, I've always worked hard.

160
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: I've always had no problems, and I always, at one

161
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: point out a three hundred pounds fat, lazy kid.

162
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 4: So I was lazy then.

163
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: But then once I started losing, wait and realized what

164
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: hard work actually got me into college and met this

165
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: coach who I actually worked with now at Marion University.

166
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 4: He actually told him, like, yo, you got to work here.

167
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: I think, just keep pushing and.

168
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: Uh So now it's like I know in every match,

169
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: no matter who it is. Before I had the technique,

170
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: before I was knocking people out, before I knew how

171
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: to throw a jab, cross, throw a kick, it was

172
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: like Mark Henry, say, do you outwork everybody?

173
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: Let's go out work them.

174
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: That's all Marke here, just go out working, my coach,

175
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: I'll work everybody, dominate don't just win, I'll work them

176
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: and dominate. So now I have that, and I have

177
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: the skills. I have the wrestling, have a striking and kicks.

178
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: Now it's go out there and do what we're prepare

179
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: to do and if it gets ugly, does all work them?

180
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: Well?

181
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 6: How do you go from as you put in a

182
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 6: three hundred pounds overweight kid, That's that's a pretty bad

183
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 6: place to be to dialed in athlete. What what has

184
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 6: to happen in your life for that to be made possible?

185
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: I actually, to be honest, it all happened. Uh.

186
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: Since I moved Inanna, the guy has started with my

187
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: backup heavyweight.

188
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: At the time, we both were fast, and we had titties, and.

189
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: We respectfull moves my bad moves, and we like, I'm

190
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: gonna have as one day, but yeah, right, you're not

191
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: gonna have abs, and like, I bet you, I'll have

192
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: as before you. And that's actually how I started losing

193
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: weight at a heavyweight. I didn't care how, but then

194
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: I was always in competition to get apps and then

195
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: we would do ad work and I started losing weight

196
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: and it started feeling good. Lose weight wrestling just seemed

197
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: a little easier. I could move a lot better and

198
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: uh over time. Like now, he's like a body, but

199
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: he's like three hundred and seventy five pounds strong as

200
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: a baroxe. But I'm two hundred and thirty five pounds,

201
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: but I'm cut, you know what I mean. But we

202
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: both have our attributes. And we're talking about this last

203
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: week before I left and was lifting, like you you

204
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: look like that because of our competition, Like really you

205
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: looked that way. It's because the competition used to have

206
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: in college. And to be honest, it's true I said

207
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: there like he is right. If it wasn't for that,

208
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: I probably would have continued to just be the big

209
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: heavyweight because my coach always would make me go to

210
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: the cafeteria, stack my plate with food, eat this street,

211
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: eat this, and we're going to the weight room. I

212
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: just want to be big heavy. You're gonna put weight

213
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: on somebody, gonn the club. Somebody's gonna out outmove somebody

214
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: with the body weight. But then when I started losing weight,

215
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: I figured we can be different cod I can just

216
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: be agile. I can outmove these guys. I can be smarter,

217
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: quicker and last longer than these guys. And that's just

218
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: what I went with. And I'm the same way down fighting.

219
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: Your dad wasn't on your ass about losing weight.

220
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: He was on my ass about lifting, which is something

221
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: I always hate to do. He never cares so much

222
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: about me losing weight. My whole If you know the

223
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: airs in side of my family, my dad's side, they're

224
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: all obeast. But my dad, actually he was in high school.

225
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: I see picture of him and my mom when they

226
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: met in high school. My dad was a real big

227
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: key in high school, and I don't know what got

228
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: to him, but he ended up losing weight.

229
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: And now he was a.

230
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: Bodybuilder at one point, and now he's actually a fit.

231
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: He's like fifty six or six, I can't remember. You

232
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Oh he's at about sixty, but he's you see him.

233
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: But he's still athletic. He rides his bike all the

234
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: time and got the gymnast basement. So like, the work

235
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: ethic has always been in me, but I just didn't

236
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: really care about my physique until that competition happened with

237
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: me and my buddy freshman year.

238
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 6: But like the click between, oh wait, all this hard

239
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 6: work actually equals great results?

240
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: When did that? When did that happen?

241
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 6: It sounds like an obvious thing, but until you actually

242
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 6: really grind for something and then you get it, you're like, oh, right.

243
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 3: This is what I have to do. Yeah, okay.

244
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 4: So it was two times that actually clicked for me.

245
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: One, I wrestled since third grade in high school or

246
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: third grade, and I didn't get my first win, and

247
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: so I was a sophomore in high school.

248
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: So then it was a lot of losing. That's a

249
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: lot of losing.

250
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 6: You were like, the who's the team that plays the Globetrotters,

251
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 6: the Washington General Generals.

252
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're like the generals out there.

253
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: Washington can guard it, commanders, I think, yeah, yeah.

254
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: At the same time, it was a lot of losing,

255
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: but that losing helped me. It mowed me to I

256
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: am as a fighter because when I would get those

257
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: big losses, when I start like, Jimmy manno knockout, I'll

258
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: never forget that.

259
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 4: I've been in the back and the coach and everybody.

260
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Was upset, and I was like, not cheery, but I

261
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: was still like I was kind of cool okay with

262
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: Like I was like, how is it that you can

263
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: make it to your first man event? You just got

264
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: knocked down the first round. You're not pissed like me.

265
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: I was like, coach, is the one thing you don't

266
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: know about me? I lost the majority of my life

267
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: growing up. We gonna lose, it happens. So at that point,

268
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: losing wasn't like like oh my god, I lost. It

269
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: was I've did this my whole life. So it's easy

270
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: to bounce back. When you grow up losing and then

271
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: you start winning, it's like, yeah, we're gonna lose again.

272
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: You don't want to lose, but at the same time,

273
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: you can accept that loss a little better and just

274
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: remember I lost my whole life growing up, and now

275
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: look at me. Look at where I am now is

276
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: because of those losses and the hard work. And then

277
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: the second time was like I said, the coach i've

278
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: met who I'm working with now I Marrion University. He

279
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: used to I remember when he got the head coaching job,

280
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: and he saw, I'm like, you can be great.

281
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: I see you, I see what you do. You can

282
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 4: be good.

283
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: We just gotta we gotta make you work a little

284
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: harder and changing things up. And I never forget the

285
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: next morning, six am overdoing him, like what's up? I

286
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: told you we're gonna be good. We started. Now, let's

287
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: go six am toit away room. Next time I got

288
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: a class, he had my class. Let's go back to

289
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: the restroom. Stands the motion and it's like every day

290
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: he's had me working and working and working. And I

291
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: remember coming to this season unranked and the first doing

292
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: meet that I wrestled number three during the country and almost

293
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: tech fall them. He's like, see, I told you can

294
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: be good. All that hard work it paid off right man.

295
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: After I was like dang man. And to this day,

296
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: like I had him in my corner in the UFC

297
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: for a while and now he's helped me work out Indiana.

298
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: Like that's just I called him all the time. I

299
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: was actually on the phone with him out there. Today's birthday.

300
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Coach Bradley. But uh, he instilled something that

301
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: my father put the hard work in me, but he

302
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: put more like a belief in the hard work, like

303
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: I believe in your preparation, a thing when coach Steve

304
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: rivera wrestling coach in Jersey, says believe in your preparation.

305
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: He actually brought that to my attention, where like if

306
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: you put the hard work in constantly and you actually

307
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: believe it.

308
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 4: Good things can happen. Man, you can be great.

309
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: But I didn't believe it until he made me work

310
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: and I went out there and beat that kid that

311
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: bad and he told me like look and to this

312
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: day like we're like this, we are super close. And

313

00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: You have good work out today? How hard was it

316
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: did you push?

317
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 3: You're good? Like I'm good.

318
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: It's a good good work out, coach good, good yoll

319
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: talk to you later. It's like he calls me for

320
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: a little thing, just to give me messages keep me going.

321
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm just thankful to have people like that in my life.

322
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 5: This what's crazy, and I love you you're sharing that

323
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 5: story is ninety nine percent of the fighters I talked

324
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 5: to When you talk about like how were you able

325
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 5: to bounce back from this potentially disastrous loss, and every

326
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 5: single one says, I wrestled.

327
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: I've been through it. I've been through now on the.

328
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 5: Losses, but the heartbreaks the and it's like we sometimes

329
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 5: talk about wrestling as potentially the best foundational base to

330
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 5: then translate into becoming a full mixed martial artist. But

331
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 5: there's something mentally that you know I'm finding out too,

332
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 5: is really there, Like, look, the wrestlers are fucking different

333
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 5: bro okay at the end of the day. And maybe

334
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 5: it's that ability to u to use defeat as fuel

335
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 5: to keep getting better.

336
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to think in wrestling, especially when

337
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: you get to college, you wrestle every weekend. So Friday,

338
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: Friday on a road, Saturday wrestling. Sometimes Sunday we wrestle too,

339
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: and it's tournaments. You got duo meets and you gotta

340
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: turn to do a tournament. So say you start a tournament,

341
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: it's like thirty six MANI year bracket. You lose that

342
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: first match, but now you got to wrestle eight nine

343
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: matches just to give back to place around six seven

344
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: match time these people in your bracket. And then you

345
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: can do all that and give back to the place

346
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: around and lose again. Then it's like, oh, now you

347
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: go back to wrestle back up to six or seventh,

348
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: th seventh or eighth.

349
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 4: It's like and you can't.

350
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: If you let those losers defeat you early in the tournament,

351
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: you done because we started turning at nine am, and

352
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: sometimes we don't finish till one am midnight. So you

353
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: sitting in there in the stands a going a little

354
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: soon to be here the next match, you're gonna go

355
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: out there and get that ass tax quick. They gonna

356
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: spank you real fast. So you gotta have that mindset. No,

357
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: put that behind you, Put it behind you. We still

358
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: got so many matches to go.

359
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 3: Have.

360
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: The teammate he lost the first round of Nationals, end

361
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: up coming back and take third, but he wrestled all

362
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 1: day long, non stop. He had that first loss, and

363
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: he knew in orders for me to place, I gotta

364
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 1: be eight guys to give back to the top. He

365
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: beat all eight guys, made all the way back to

366
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: but he wrestled every like once every hour, finish the match, rest.

367
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: By time he's just cool down in Monterali. You up

368
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: on the next mat in the holes like and he

369
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: did it and he kept going.

370
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: But I I.

371
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: Love seeing that because for two days straight he was

372
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: wrestling na stop because he wanted to place.

373
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 4: When most kids you lose that first.

374
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: Match, I's like, oh, I'm no longer can be the chant,

375
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: and then your mindset change. You don't really care to

376
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: wrestle as hard if you can put that loss behind

377
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: you and still think there's still a brighter side to this.

378
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: I can come out here and still finish at the top.

379
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: I won't be on top, but I'll be at the

380
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: top of the podium. Same thing in fight, And if

381
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: I lose, it's like, now my next fight won't be

382
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: working towards the title, but I can start working my

383
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: way back to the top.

384
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 5: With all these guys, they took so many l's with

385
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 5: chicks and then it's just harden them. Eventually they got

386
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: the other. Now they got girlfriends.

387
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 6: You know, he'll do this periodically in the conversation where

388
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 6: he just derails it.

389
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: It's okay, relating it back to life.

390
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 3: I know.

391
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 6: Hey, So then to that point, you didn't take the

392
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 6: manual loss too hard. But have you ever had a

393
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 6: loss that aided you a little? Because he's the funny part.

394
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 6: We started out talking about that your next fight is

395
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 6: going to be the videem nemcoll fight, which if you'd

396
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 6: played the rules a little differently, you could be wearing

397
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 6: the strap right now. And again, I think you're probably

398
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 6: favored in the rematch. But neither here nor they to

399
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 6: this point has there been a loss that kind of

400
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 6: aided you a little bit more than the other ones.

401
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: The cion Blacker was lost. I was I knew you

402
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: were gonna say that.

403
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: Why it didn't aid me because I lost it, aight

404
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: me because I didn't go in there and do what

405
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: I do. You know a lot of people, oh, core

406
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: but Yon Block was using the huge champ but people

407
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: don't realize what was going on behind the curtains for

408
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: Corey Ands and like the stuff I was dealing with

409
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: with the UFC going into.

410
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 4: A fight, like I felt I deserved the title fight.

411
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: You know, that's why you had Anthony Smith who got

412
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: a title fight, who had beat Rashad Everson, Showgun, who

413
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: are older guys. I hadn't done anything in the years.

414
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: Then you got a Rotta. He came in, came to

415
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: five after I was already on a three fight winning streak,

416
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: and he get three wins and he gets a title fight.

417
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: It's like I'm beating all these top guys. I had

418
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: just beat Glower check Shara on a week and a

419
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: half noticed but.

420
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 5: Dominant Royd Johnny Walker at the peak of his hypeness.

421
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: And they had told me if Johnny beat me, he's

422
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: most likely to get a title fight, so you know

423
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Bennie was like, I remember my manager

424
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: called me for the fight. Like, bro, they're not gonna

425
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: get you tirle for but this is what we can do.

426
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: We can actually wait. I feel like if you wait,

427
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: you're the next guy. They have nobody else to have

428
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: to give it to you. But the only way we

429
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: can be for sure if we take this fight. We

430
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: take this fight. Who is like, Yeah, I'm black, and

431
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: I knew I didn't want I really didn't want to.

432
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: I want that fight.

433
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: Already beat them.

434
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: I had beat him back, you know, and I went

435
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: in that whole camp. It was like I trained hard.

436
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: Training was great, but my mindset was never really I

437
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: was never really set on going out there and beating

438
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: him the way I did the first I just.

439
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: Beating him again.

440
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: It was I have to go out there and beat

441
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: this dude in dominant fashion to make sure I get

442
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: a title fight. And the only way to be dominant

443
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: is to knock him out. And that's not my style.

444
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Like I'm kno guys out, but I don't have knockout power.

445
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm not one of those guys gonna throw a big

446
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: hook or right handed and put your sleep.

447
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: That way. You know what I'm saying.

448
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm not known for it. I can do it,

449
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 4: but I'm not known for it.

450
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: My style is go out there and make you worry

451
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: about the wrestling, and then that.

452
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 4: Punch might land. Like Johnny Walker.

453
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I shot two times early, I started faking and faking.

454
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: I kept see his handguning, and I faking came up

455
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: the overhand certain things, but I didn't do what I

456
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: usually do to get those wins. I went out there

457
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: and told myself, I already made him just do once.

458
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: He can't touch me, so I'm gonna go out here

459
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: and play his game. And it cost me. And the

460
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: reason why that not just that, but they ate me up.

461
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this a couple of weeks ago.

462
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: In my life, I've only lost two rematches, and both

463
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: rematches come because I really didn't want to wrestle that

464
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: guy or I didn't want to fight that guy. And

465
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: I was like, already beat this guy. I'm I'm gonna

466
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: kill just do it again. And I went out there

467
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: and got over zealous and didn't do my thing, and the

468
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: same thing happening to you. I remember him saying, oh,

469
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: Cory got lucky, and to me, it was like, what lucky?

470
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: How do you get lucky and raped somebody for three rounds?

471
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: I'm approved, I'm not gonna take him down this time.

472
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm going out and just beat him upstanding and it

473
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: cost me if I would just stay humble to who

474
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: I am, just do what I have been training, believed

475
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: in the preparation, we trained wrestling ground upon the whole camp.

476
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: I went out there and didn't do any of that.

477
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: I believe it would have been different. Who knows, I

478
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: might still be in UFC and I would be the

479
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: UFC champ.

480
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 5: But began a very pivotal stretched for your personal life

481
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 5: and career that is now taking to where you are

482
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 5: now on the doorstep of a million dollars and another

483
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 5: chance at the world title. And like you went through

484
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 5: a lot of that away from the cameras. You had

485
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 5: a fall, is it correct? And we saw the Instagram

486
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 5: pictures months later, But that's.

487
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: What happened there.

488
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: Uh well, after that fight, I remember they told me, oh,

489
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: you're fine.

490
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 6: When I came try I remember everything. I'm still under

491
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 6: contract with UFC at that point.

492
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, so I remembered everything that happened in

493
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: the fight. I remember the whole fight, remember getting up

494
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: and talking as I asked me because I'm good, I'm good.

495
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: I remember going to my family and the fence, like, yo,

496
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: we've been here before, keep your head.

497
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: We fine.

498
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: I'm straight, and they told me, oh, you're fine. Just

499
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: take a couple of days off, you can go back.

500
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, nothing, no big deal, no concussion, I'm straight.

501
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: Even though I probably did, which I'm most likely did.

502
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: I got home well with Saint Arizona. I got home,

503
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: went right off the plane, and just I hadn't really

504
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: slept because I'm still thinking about the.

505
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 4: Fight in my head. Like I remember my brother called him.

506
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: Like, do you really want to be here? Because of

507
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: that fight? You didn't look like yourself? Do you still

508
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: want to fight? So in my head, I'm asking myself

509
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: all these questions, do you still want to be in this?

510
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 4: And when I do that like I would do, I'm

511
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 4: a hunter.

512
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: I love being out doing so when I can't sleep,

513
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: I can't focus, I just go to the woods to

514
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: give my mind clear. And so I went off the plane,

515
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: got home, dropped the family. I went straight to the

516
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: woods with my dog and I was out there all

517
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: day like in the sun, just thinking, thinking, And I

518
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: remember going to a buddy's house and he pulled up

519
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: and I went to walk to his truck, and I

520
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: remember before a second, I got like a little light

521
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: spin and I wake up on the ground and got

522
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: gronveled and dust off my face and my wife'showing picture

523
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: and my whole face is just I guess I hit

524
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: the ground on.

525
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: It was alarming to see that picture.

526
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the thing. And I remember I had

527
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: a son at the point. At that point, we just

528
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: had my son. My main thing with fighting is always

529
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: I want to be in and out of fighting before

530
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: my kids can see something bad happen to me.

531
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: And then I wonder what dad does for work.

532
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: And they got to see daddy's hurt, Dad in the boob,

533
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: And it didn't click until I was in the hospital

534
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: doing all these tests to make sure it was just

535
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: a cussion.

536
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 4: That's what the final verdict was, Maybe it was your hurt.

537
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 3: Maybe this. And I got a wife.

538
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: Who's scared, she's payingcking, she don't want to lose her husband.

539
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: Then she brings my son with me to visit me

540
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: in the hospital. None of it registered Frank Yeger came

541
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: and visit me. When my coaches came, like all of

542
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: it was like touching and half of them. But it

543
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: didn't hit me until my wife brought my son into

544
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: the hospital. And I remember what I said before I

545
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: started fighting, like I never wanted my kids at that

546
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: point to see me hurt. And the first thing that

547
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: my son said, Daddy got booboo and that it killed me.

548
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 2: Did you consider walking away?

549
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

550
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: I remember at that point, and I told my wife

551
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: when she he sitting on my lap and I'm sitting

552
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: in the hospital. I still got a picture on my

553
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: phone and say I can't do this no more.

554
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 4: She's like, what you mean?

555
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: But I wasn't saying just fighting. It was I can't

556
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: keep fighting. It was like I'm dealing with the media

557
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: all the time, the keyboard ward or couriers or stuck.

558
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: I'm trying to prove something to these people instead of

559
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: just fighting. I said, I can't fight three fights anymore.

560
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: Shit, what do you mean?

561
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: Like I can't worry about fighting my opponents. I was

562
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: arguing with Dan and White and mc mahon at all

563
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: the time, like trying to prove something. I can't argue

564
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: with the promotion. I can't be already trying to voice

565
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: my opinion to these fans. I'm fighting too many belts.

566
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: I gotta worry about whoever in front of if we're

567
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: gonna do this, I gotta I gotta focus.

568
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 4: I gotta do this the right way.

569
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: I gotta go in there for one mission, get these

570
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: wins and get home safe. Like I don't want my

571
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: son to see me like this, Like it hurts to

572
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: this day to even think about it. And uh yeah,

573
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: I remember when we got home and was waiting for

574
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: all the first to come back, and I told her like,

575
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: if we walked away right now, I member stilling. My

576
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: sons are putting it be like if we walked away

577
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: right now, like we got the money saved, Like how

578
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: do you feel if I just said I'm done right now?

579
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: It's like if it's an option, I mean, if we

580
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: have to do it, I'm here with you regardless. And

581
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: when the verdict came back there was clear to go

582
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: and were talking like do we walk away or what?

583
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: She was like, how about this? She make me one

584
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: more promise. So you go out there and you just

585
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: you do what you do and we keep winning. But

586
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: if something happened, we have something scared like this happened again.

587
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: We're done right, Like that's it. We're doing one more time.

588
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it one more We're gonna do it safe.

589
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna change the way My wife fights too, she

590
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: used to fight. That's how I met her at Groof

591
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: of Sport. I met her the first day I went there,

592
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: and uh so that was it. Everything changed. Training change

593
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: and start training smarter. I don't spar as much, keep

594
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: all the damage from like we spa and we spa,

595
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: we go. But I'm doing everything I can to keep

596
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: from avoiding damage and training and take the damage in

597
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: the fight and just change the mindset. When I go

598
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: out there to fight, I ain't here to fight. I'm

599
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: here to win, you know. I mean, I'm not here

600
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: to go ahead, throw a brawl which I'm not sitting

601
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: take punches. I'm gonna do everything I can to avoid

602
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: punches and make you feel my rath And you know,

603
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's just that's what's

604
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: been motivating me.

605
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 5: Well, that something changed in you, and we can see

606
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 5: that your results are showing that, but that this gray

607
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 5: area of you getting sick and you get you falling

608
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 5: and being hurt. Suddenly you're out of your active UFC deal,

609
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 5: And it was very surprising.

610
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 2: It was huge news.

611
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 3: You become a giant mar side of the equation.

612
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: We were like, what, because we don't know about this.

613
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 5: You become a big free agent signing for Beltre because

614
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 5: you're in the midst of your prime. You're a title contender,

615
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 5: you know, in the toughest group. Yet what the heck

616
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 5: happened for you?

617
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: To go from in the deal to out of it?

618
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 2: Just like that was as easy as day to just

619
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: be like walk, you want to go walk?

620
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: I mean for them, it's like, so we'll do it.

621
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: We'll keep peacele keep it in the high energy area.

622
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: But I was out helping DC at time for the

623
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,239
Speaker 1: steep a third fight. Remember when everything going. So when

624
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: I did the final test to get cleared, I remember

625
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: in the hospital and the doctor comes in.

626
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 4: It was literally this all happened with him three minutes.

627
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 4: So DoD come in.

628
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: My wife is there, like miss as a good news.

629
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: You can go back to beating people up. Everything came

630
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: back clear. There's no heart problem. It's literally just a concussion.

631
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: You're fine, You're clear to go do what you want

632
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: to do. I'm like, great, he hands the bag of

633
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: all my stuff. I turned my phone on. So I

634
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: turned my phone on. I got a contract from the

635
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: UFC in them instantly, like yo, y'all adn't even see

636
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: if I.

637
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: Was okay, Like I literally just got this procedure. And

638
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 3: the procedure was.

639
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: They they cut my wrists up and they put like

640
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: a drilline in me and pump and drip, put a

641
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: tube in my heart and they pumping drilling in my heart.

642
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: So what they're trying to do is they shock in

643
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: my heart to make it stop. But you're wide await

644
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: so you feel it. So it's like getting shocked with

645
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: paddles and your heart is jumped, so you strap down,

646
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: but you can't move. So I'm messed up from this

647
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: whole procedure, Like yo, I don't want to do this

648
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: ever again. So I'm strategying like they like miserss cam

649
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: out your phone, like your heart is pumping out your

650
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: chest and like I'm stilling trying to gather what just

651
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: happened in this procedure. When I turned my phone on,

652
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: I got a contract from the UFC to fight, and

653
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: they keep the cryd off like okay, fine, whatever, that's

654
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: how they feel. They even call it see if I'm okay,

655
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: well take this fighting, I'm the show.

656
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 4: I'm good. Let's go.

657
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: Well, I sign a contract. I sent it back while

658
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm in the hospital on the ride home or like

659
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: it was not even that. Like an hour later, I

660
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: get home and then I get a call from my manager.

661
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: Well none to keep it hurt. They want you to

662
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: fight your for hostage damn. So I'm like that's fine,

663
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: But like I just told them before the Johnny Walker

664
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: f I'm not fighting.

665
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: No more new guys like he had just got in

666
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 4: the UFC.

667
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: Give me a little more money, Like at the time,

668
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: I was barely I made six figures one fight in

669
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: my UFC before I got it, Like, at least give

670
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: me some money.

671
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 4: I just went through all this stuff.

672
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the procedure, and I decided to go

673
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: to that procedure, like I have to get some value

674
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: for this Stuff'm not fnna fight this new again just

675
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: so you guys can hype him up.

676
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 4: Give me a little bit more money. And it was like,

677
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: we're not giving you anything. You're taking this fight.

678
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 3: What are you doing?

679
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: This is the fight behind the scenes and we don't

680
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 2: get to stay.

681
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 3: I can keep it on notice.

682
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: So I remember we went out with DC and all that,

683
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 4: and with DC, and I remember calling my man. She's like, Yo,

684
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 4: do we have to do this? He's like, brother, just

685
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 4: think about it.

686
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: We don't have to do this.

687
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 4: Is this what do you want to do?

688
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: Thinking about it? I'm thinking about it. I'm training with DC,

689
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: and I see how good I am. DC telling like, bro,

690
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: there's no reason why the end of twenty twenty one,

691
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: you should not be the UFC champ. I'll train with people.

692
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: My person can go five rounds of me and do

693
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: some stuff. It's came of Alaska, and I'm thinking, like, yo,

694
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm that good, So why'd I be undervalue on myself?

695
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: So following on my life, I'm valuing what I can

696
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: do and how good I am. And I just I

697
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: remember calling Ali and I was like, yo, and we

698
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: just can we get out of this contract? Like if

699
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: they're not gonna give me any more money, I'm not

700
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: gonna keep fighting for Penis. Like I got a family

701
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: on the way here, Like you know you got daughter

702
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: on the way. My wife was praying at the time,

703
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: like I'll see what I can do. I called, I'll

704
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: call USC and see what we can do, blah blah blah,

705
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: and he called back like five minutes later, do you

706
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: really want out? We can probably get you more. Do

707
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: you want out? Like, yeah, man, I want out.

708
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: You don't see that that off but no.

709
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: But literally forty five seconds later I get to release

710
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: email and not right there to him, like I had

711
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: just hung with the phone and my email went off

712
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: and I need right then I called my wife like

713
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: they didn't value us in the first place, Like what

714
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: do you mean it? Like I literally got the phone

715
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: with Ali and I got an email that they was

716
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: letting me go, like they didn't care how good whatever

717
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: we did, we were never gonna get.

718
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 6: To ask you from the moment you had the first

719
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 6: conversation with Ali saying I think I want out, he

720
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 6: does what he does, and then you get the release email.

721
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: How much time has he lapsed?

722
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: Not even thirty five minutes? Shit, Which told me it's

723
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: like they just didn't value and that was fine. It's business.

724
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: And like I met with Hunter before the Johnny Walker fight.

725
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: He said it straightforward, like it's the fight business. But

726
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: we're here the sales tickets. Who's gonna put bus in

727
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: the seats and my style didn't put bus in the seats,

728
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: and that was fine. So but within this time we released,

729
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: and within the other twenty thirty minutes, I got offer

730
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: from Bellator and I didn't even question anybody.

731
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 4: When I saw that number, I was like, Yo.

732
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: This is real, Like there was really no, that's what

733
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: they just that's what they will to do that. I

734
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: told him that you're free agent, they want to do that,

735
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: like sign like you don't want to try nobody else?

736
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: Like no, Like that was more money I've ever even

737
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: seen on anybody's contract sign that right now like deal.

738
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: So within an hour and a half, I went from

739
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: having a fight contract, asked for more money, told no,

740
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: release and new home that fast and like I told

741
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: my wife, She's like, are you serious, but we're gonna

742
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: get the UFC belt like yeah, And in DC said

743
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: it to you like.

744
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: Bro, like I was.

745
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: I didn't really want to leave because I know I

746
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: can beat the UFC champ. But at the same time,

747
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: he said, bro, think about this right now. Before I

748
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: called and said yes, it's leave, He's like, right now,

749
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: you're in love with three letters, he said, A belt

750
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: is a belt but all you in love is the

751
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: belt from the UFC said, you got to think if

752
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: the money you can get elsewhere and change your life

753
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: and you're not happy here, you gotta do it. Like, yes,

754
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: I love the UFC. For me, they made me a millionaire.

755
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: They might not ever do that for you, So you

756
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: gotta go where it's gonna be best for you and

757
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: your family. And when I left and that first come,

758
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: when I seen the numbers, it was I could have

759
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: gotten more if I waited and got some other places,

760
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: but that right there, I did a calculation in the

761
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: contract like I would be a millionaire in no time.

762
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 5: I appreciate you sharing that story because there was some

763
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 5: speculation at the time that that, you know, because they

764
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 5: don't let people out of their deals, that maybe you

765
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 5: have some leverage against them due to some you know,

766
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 5: medical mishandling.

767
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: There's a lot of great area.

768
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 5: It's good to hear you sort of give us the

769
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 5: you know that in the end, all your test turned

770
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 5: up great.

771
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 3: That year.

772
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 5: Able to get back and look at the production sense

773
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 5: you've been incredible.

774
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 2: Now every time you do.

775
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 5: An interview, I feel like people pull quotes out, whether

776
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 5: it's exaggerated or not. That Corey Anderson says he's going

777
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 5: to make more in this fight than he's made in

778
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 5: you know, twelve UFC fights combined.

779
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: Is all of that stuff true?

780
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: It's true, butter my second fight in boats or I

781
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: had made more more than I made more about my

782
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: second fight in Boats, and I have my whole fifteen

783
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: fights in the UFC after I remember the first check.

784
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: When I got that first check at Belatcher, I remember

785
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: calling my wife back backstage and say, call a gym,

786
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: tell them you do it. Say what do you mean? Like,

787
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to shoot the GM at the gym.

788
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: You don't have to work no more, you don't have

789
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: to work. Everything is paid, like we got the more.

790
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 4: Anything we want. We want to bought a house. Everything

791
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 4: is packed, like you don't have to work anymore? Should

792
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 4: I go? But I want you can stay at home

793
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 4: and raise the kids. No, that's not she does it.

794
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: We got the house here in Jersey. We got a

795
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: house in Indiana. I want to track. I want to

796
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: buy a tractor. One zero turn goes your turn one

797
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 1: for whatever. We can do whatever you want.

798
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: That's amazing.

799
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: But like I remember seeing Anthony Smith, I was cornering

800
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: a fighter and he said, course want to say we

801
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: had our little beef in usc That's when I say,

802
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: you look truly happy over in Belchu.

803
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 4: I'm happy for what you're doing. I say, yay, what

804
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 4: is true? They say?

805
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: They say money came by happenings, and you realize they

806
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: just didn't have money because it don't make it. Look

807
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: it ain't the fact that it makes things like you

808
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: have it because you got money, because life is a

809
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: lot more stressful.

810
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 5: What gives you I'm finding in life and I don't

811
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: make you know, probably life changing money yet. But we're

812
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 5: doing all right, Luke. It does you know, one of

813
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 5: my friends put it perfectly. It does give you the

814
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 5: freedom to actually live your life. Yes, and then and

815
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 5: if that's at the end of the day what we're

816
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 5: all kind of chasing, that freedom to spend more time

817
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 5: with our family and make these great memories separate from

818
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 5: our profession, that's that's fantastic. Because that phone call you're

819
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 5: not working anymore. That's like an American dream left changing

820
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 5: moment right there, and it.

821
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: Happened so right now.

822
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 5: All these headlines and podcasts, is there a fighter pay

823
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 5: problem and you in MMA or is.

824
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: There just a fighter pay problem in UFC.

825
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your solution to fighter pay?

826
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: I think the fire pay is just in the UFC

827
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: because I remember now after Johnny Walker. If you guys

828
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: remember I did the meetia and say, Yo, if you're

829
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: not gonna give me my just do it what I deserve.

830
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 4: Cut me.

831
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: I remember right after Derrick Bruston calls me, like, bro,

832
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: don't say that it cuts you. You're not gonna make

833
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: nearly as much money anywhere else. There's no organizations is

834
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: paying like UFC.

835
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: This.

836
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: You're in the best place right now, Like, do not

837
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: don't say that again, because you will be cutting.

838
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 4: You'll be like, man, I'm not making nearly as much.

839
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: And then when I signed that contract, I'm talking to Derek,

840
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: You're like, bro, I didn't know they have money like

841
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: that out there. It was like, yeah, I don't know

842
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: how much he making, but I told him, like yo,

843
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm making way more I made.

844
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 4: Like I'm happy for you, bro. It's like you.

845
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: We are all, especially the casuals and the fan they

846
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: are made to leave. Since UFC is the plateau where

847
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: to go, you're gonna be making the most. Everybody think that,

848
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: but only Connor McGregor John Jones. Certain people make that

849
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: money if you're like Hunter told me, it's about putting

850
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: butts in the seats. If you're not a person not promoting,

851
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: you're not gonna make that money. Like I said, I

852
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: had fifteen fights there, but when I went into a

853
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: Yon Blackwich fight the second time, you're not mean. Many

854
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: other media people didn't even know that it was a

855
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: second time fight. I had somebody asking, like, why is

856
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: this called Corey versus Yon too? You really don't know,

857
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: because if you're not promoted, they don't know anything about you.

858
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: They didn't know I had beat Yon before on my

859
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: sixth fight. Ever, they didn't know that, they didn't know

860
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: how bad, or they didn't even know we met before.

861
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: Because if they don't promote you, you're not gonna have

862
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: the fans behind you. And that's any business. They got

863
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: a promotion, and that's for belcho they do. When they

864
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: don't have like one person, they promote more. It's kind

865
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: of like they don't promote a lot. But when they

866
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: do promote a fight, they take time to promote everybody

867
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: on that car, whether it's somebody on the first fight.

868
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: Like I remember, the Jalen was to get Jalen whatever.

869
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: He's doing pretty good now. But I remember when he

870
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: only had one fight. My first fight he did or

871
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: his second fight was on my debut fighting Belachure. I

872
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: remember him promoting about who is this can I started

873
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: looking at him like, oh, this kid's gonna be pretty good.

874
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: I remember in the hotel room watching them fight, like Yo,

875
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: that was a slick submission. But I only knew about

876
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: him because Belacher took the time to post stuff about

877
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: who he could be and who he was, who he

878
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: trained with. As for UFC, it's like you go to

879
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: these cars and you see them, It's like, who are

880
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: these guys? But who's fighting at you would say the

881
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: main event in the cole Maine because those are the

882
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: big name guys, unless it's a guy that's very hype

883
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: like coms like Tamayah or Johnny Walker and those guys

884
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: when they were lower on the car because they were exciting.

885
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: But even if you're not exciting, in Belichick, I feel

886
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: like they're giving you at least a little bit of

887
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: just dude to let the fans know who to watch.

888
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 6: You know, So do you believe in a potentially a

889
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 6: fighter's union? So it's a complicated question. Well, you got

890
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 6: to think about union's period. It's always messy. Like my

891
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 6: father's Hyom company is a union company, so I know

892
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 6: thinks are going to union.

893
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 2: Look at Jimmy Huff, a very messy ending.

894
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, y, nobody know where he is right well, East

895
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 5: brought for New Jersey underneath the goalposts.

896
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: But h then you see a nine union and it's

897
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: it's because my dad had a union and at one

898
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: point you at a nine in company and he liked

899
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: a nine union cause it was less politics to it.

900
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: So even just like in the fighter, it's politics now.

901
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 4: But if we.

902
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: Get a union, it's gonna be it'll be a little

903
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: lot mess of you're a lot harder. It's gonna be

904
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: hard to get fighters to fight. It's gonna be. Yeah,

905
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: I think it's fine right now. You just gotta learn

906
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: how to stay in your ground and get what you deserve.

907
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: And like I said before after I left, like if

908
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: you're not happy with it, go somewhere else and you're happy.

909
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 4: Just like anything in any.

910
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: Job, you're happy with your job, I wouldn't expect you

911
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: to keep getting up every morning miserably going I would

912
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: tell anybody if you don't like your job.

913
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 4: Quick, go find a job you do like.

914
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 6: Would you like to see some of the uh and again,

915
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 6: some of these are a little bit esoteric, but some

916
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 6: of the you know the ALI Act which covers boxing,

917
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 6: So boxing does have federal regulation, which is why some

918
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 6: of the persons look the way they do over there,

919
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 6: because the promoter can't control the title, right, it's by

920
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 6: law they cannot have it. There's financial disclosure laws, there's

921
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 6: all kinds of stuff that make boxing like it's not

922
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 6: an accident. Boxers make more. It happens for a reason.

923
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 6: Would you like to see some of those protections extended

924
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 6: to MMA.

925
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 4: Yes, that's a little different. That would be nice, Yes,

926
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 4: somebody would.

927
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: The promoter doesn't control with a title and stuff like that,

928
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: that would be great because at the end of.

929
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 4: The day, in the MMA game, the promoter is the

930
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 4: one calling the shots, you know what I mean.

931
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: Dana White, McMain and Hunter Campbell and knows, Joe Silvers,

932
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: all those guys and John Show, those are ones that

933
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: run the show. There's nobody else that they have to

Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I'm not a real big fan of

971
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: this guy. And I remember once I ran to them

972
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: in Vegas. There's a group of us. He cracked a

973
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 1: joke and I'm not a person. I'm a fake anything.

974
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: If you crack a joke, I ain't funny. I'm not

975
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: gonna laugh.

976
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 3: At all. I didn't say anything.

977
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 4: And then, for you know, I get a call Modley like, Yo,

00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: I didn't laugh at a Joe.

982
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 2: First rule improv Corey, come on, you gotta sell the

983
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: other guy's joke.

984
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 4: All right, that's not me as really as they come

985
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 4: quite straight.

986
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 6: If I mean, I would love to talk to you

987
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 6: about I have seen that the fighters who are the

988
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 6: happiest it takes them a while to get there, and

989
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 6: they're ones who have realized that there is a utility

990
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 6: in talking to the media, but they have a somewhat

991
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 6: of a divorced a. They learned how to navigate that

992
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 6: space without being bothered by it anymore. Dustin Party, it

993
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 6: comes to mind, for example, right, I think you're in

994
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 6: that space as well. What has been your relationship to

995
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 6: the MMA media. What have they gotten wrong about you?

996
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 3: How do you view them? And by the way, we're

997
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: two stupid jerks here, so feel free to not hold back.

998
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 3: We don't. I'm not looking for any sugar coated answer.

999
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: I mean, one thing about Corey Anderson not talking to something.

1000
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: I hate talking about something first person. But you ask

1001
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: anybody what do you think about Corey that said he's

1002
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: a straight shooter.

1003
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 4: I'm an open book. So one thing with MMA media

1004
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 4: and they know that.

1005
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: Now ask questions and they'll getting my wife called like

1006
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have said that. My mom will call him,

1007
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: like you just say too much on the air.

1008
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 4: It's like, I just don't. I don't have any secrets.

1009
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: But now to the point where you figure out on

1010
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: the fly how the word things correctly, like earlier when

1011
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: I said we're gonna talk about the situation when I

1012
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: left us say like I'm gonna keep this peaceful as possible,

1013
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: like without making this sound like a negative whole over time,

1014
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: I got any hate.

1015
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 4: I don't have any hatred or anything.

1016
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: But you just got to know the media is here

1017
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: to They have one objective to get information out of

1018
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: you that others don't know yet. So sometimes like when

1019
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: you look at Area Hawaiian, like he when he does that,

1020
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 1: he like picking and picking.

1021
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 4: He's trying to get you.

1022
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's trying to get you to say something that's

1023
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: gonna be like bait against Dana White or so something

1024
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna they can use. But yeah, like such and

1025
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: such staid before in another interview. So the biggest thing

1026
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: is you just got to be aware, Like when you

1027
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: come to these guys, they could be friendly, but they're

1028
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: not literally your friends. It's not somebody that's gonna They're

1029
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: not on the air trying to make you look great.

1030
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: They are trying to get your take, but at the

1031
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: same time they want to get some dirt out of

1032
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 1: you or they trying to get some bad info.

1033
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 3: Out of it.

1034
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: So the biggest thing I take is take what you

1035
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: guys asked for the grain of salt. Don't take any

1036
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: offense to it. But at the same time, be smart

1037
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: with your answer.

1038
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 6: But I guess I'm more fair enough. But I'm also wondering, like,

1039
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 6: do you feel like they have given you your respect?

1040
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 3: No? Hell no, So tell me what has been missing?

1041
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 3: I mean it's a lot mass.

1042
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: Like you said, you see articles that take one little thing,

1043
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: You say one thing, and they'll take it a round

1044
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: with it. For instance, I don't blame David Martin for

1045
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: this one, but I think it was more of an

1046
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: ESPN thing. The last interview I did after the fight,

1047
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: and he asked me a question like, oh, do you

1048
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: regret the fact you left for UF? See this is

1049
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: now see how good you like? I don't regret it,

1050
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: but you know, at times I do. Somebody ask me,

1051
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: you ever think Dane and White wonder blah blah blah.

1052
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 4: I say, you know what.

1053
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: It came to me after he said, I wonder if

1054
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: Dana White regretted cutting me, like letting me go out

1055
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: the time.

1056
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 4: I wonder if that's the case. And the media came

1057
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 4: on a.

1058
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: Golf court answer and said he wondered if Daniel White

1059
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: missus him. You're like, no, that's not I don't care.

1060
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: I'm happy Ryan, I'm grateful for I am. But at

1061
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: times it does when somebody asks you you think like

1062
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: then you think like, dang, I wonder if he does.

1063
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 4: And that's all I was saying.

1064
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: It's like if your wife asked you, do you ever

1065
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 2: think about your ex girlfriends?

1066
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 5: You just don't answer it right because she'll take it

1067
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 5: out of context, like the media use it against you.

1068
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: You asked my wife. I'm really they come to you

1069
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: asked me. I'll say something like say like you asked

1070
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: the question. I'm gonna keep one, honey. It's like I

1071
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: think about certain things. I thought about certain situations, you know.

1072
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: But and that's just I'm a realize just one thing

1073
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: about me, and my wife will tell you if you

1074
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: want to know something you asked for.

1075
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 2: All right, let's ask Corey the truth on a couple

1076
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: of things. Then this hat is it raising or lowering

1077
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: my t at h forty four?

1078
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: Get rid of it?

1079
00:39:59,239 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: Is ugly.

1080
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 4: I saw when he came in.

1081
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 5: I know the hair, and I'm you know, Corey, when

1082
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 5: you look at Luke Thomas, I mean, you know, just

1083
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 5: one die job could really turn around.

1084
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 4: Dye my face in here, eh, woman, I love gray hair.

1085
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,160

Speaker 2: too as well.

1147
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: Just I mean, my main thing was blast doubles and

1148
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: high crosses. So you hit a high crotch, somebody sprawled

1149
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: around and you run that and you know yeah, and

1150
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: you do the blast double and you hit with your

1151
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: shoulder just pop out. So I remember the first time

1152
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: was well, my red shirt sophomore year in Nationals, shooting

1153
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: blast double and kept shooting, shooting, taking a guy down.

1154
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 4: I went to it one more time a third period

1155
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 4: and I remember hitting.

1156
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: My shoulder, went back and it popped out, popped back

1157
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,960

1158
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: point like a tour the labor And later on the

1159
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,440

Speaker 1: high crash and got sprawl the towreter rotated cut damn.

1161
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: Later on doing the same thing in this shoulder, it

1162
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: happened again. So it's like just wearing tear just happens

1163
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: and they all get surged, like, nah, I have to

1164

1165
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 1: gotta just keep rehabbing and just keep working. And they work, okay,

1166
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,760

1170
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: same time and I met and the shoulder went out.

1171
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,719

00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 1: I can get to come back in if I blast

1180
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: up him, like if I blast on laying hard enough,

1181
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: it to pop back in like it always happened.

1182
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 3: I guess you gotta take them down. I guess we

00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 3: do right to get a jabb and blasm.

1184
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 4: Soon it hit the pop. Oh, thank god, and I

1185
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 4: finished the takedown.

1186
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 3: But bro, that's some psycho ship.

1187
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: Think that's crazy. Should the Gion Valante fight? That's how

1188
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: I got all these teeth crushed out in the first

1189
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: forty five seconds?

1190
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 3: What okay? Walking through what happened?

1191
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: I went to shoot and he threw the front kick,

1192
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,399

1193
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: and watch, you see it. And I said out, I

1194
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,680

1195
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: like I got a star in here.

1196
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,480

00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 4: keep moving, Do not let him hit you in the

1211
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 4: face again.

1212
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: Like so that whole fight all went til the last

Speaker 1: swallow those file teeth because they weren't connected.

1216
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:04,920

00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: do that?

1308
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 3: Maybe you could have because your friend was deceitful.

Speaker 4: I knew it. I knew it.

1314
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: So anyway, the next day, it's like an hour and

1315
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: a half, I wake up and I go back, like

00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: to be sparring day in the first round here had

1319
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,359

1320
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:45,239

1321
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 4: So he's like, you're like, yo, we can do it.

1322
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,719

1324
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,319

1327
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: Ben don't half striking wrestling. So this is back and

1328
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: forth there. Then he had me go with a heavyweight

1329
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: and I just dogged took him down, like punched him

1330

Speaker 1: on the ground and instead up I punching blast double.

1331
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 3: And I remember Duke saying, like, I hate to tell you, son, you.

1332
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: Said you don't want to fight, and you could be

1333
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: in the UFC within three fights with your attrobutes. I

1334
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: can see it in three fights, you could be in

1335
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: the UFC. Like I wanly see it down once, but

1336
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: you could be the next.

1337
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 2: Person you ended up doing in five right three three three?

1338
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: He wanted the ultimate fight, third fight right away, and

1339
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: I was like, dang, to this day, it's in my

1340
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: head like he said that, and I work with Mark

1341
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 1: fort Fiori.

1342
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 3: He said it like I've seen guys go there.

1343
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: You could be in UFC soon, man hughes All like you,

1344
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: if you took this seriously, you can go to UFC.

1345
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 3: And it happened with a.

1346
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 6: Part of you that like again, it's one of these

1347
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 6: things where like when I say, when I say the

1348
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 6: word regret, I don't mean you look back like, oh,

1349
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 6: I don't mean that. What I mean to say is,

1350
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 6: in a perfect world, would you have gone to the

1351
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 6: UFC in your third fight.

1352
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 3: Knowing that? Knowing what I know?

1353
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 5: Now?

1354
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: It's weird because like when my coach say, when you

1355
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 1: ask somebody to change things like that when they regret,

1356
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: would you do it different? You gotta think about your family,

1357
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: And now I got my family. I don't know if

1358
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: I would be my wife, I would didn't go in

1359
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: a third fight because one of the reasons we got

1360
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: together later she started a podcast, is after one of

1361
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: my UFC fights early in my career, she wanted to

1362
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: ask me, and that's when we hit things off. So

1363
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: at the same time, I don't say, I can't say

1364
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it again. But at the same time,

1365
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: if I knew I didn't change the outcome of everything

1366
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: else in my life, yeah I would. At least at

1367
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: least I had an amateur career because I didn't have that.

1368
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: You know, I took my first loss on pay per view.

1369
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 3: That's crazy, what I mean crazy?

1370
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 5: You know Martin's brother started disinappear and from that portrait

1371
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 5: and back to the future.

1372
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 2: You f with history, you start losing people. Okay, I

1373
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 2: would change a lot of the crap I went through,

1374
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 2: but I never would have met you.

1375
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 3: You know, see you did well in science class.

Speaker 1: Like, man, take these losses, amateur, learn your stuff an amage,

1380

Speaker 1: like yeah, like I before he was with PFO, he

1396
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: had fun forever. My managine, I got this guy, you

1397
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: can come out and help you. For the Johnny Walker fight,

1398
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 1: I go with him and it was just like even

1399
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: him in Rome and they both said it, like brother,

1400
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: you are so like when we do individual stuff like

1401
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: jiu jitsu is okay, we do striking class, use strikings, okay,

1402
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: you do resident class, You're really good.

1403
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 4: But you do at MMA, it's like you are like

1404
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 4: another level now.

1405
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: But I remember at times it wasn't like that, and

1406
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: I just thought about it like it's because of all

1407
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 1: the years I learned on the job, Like my third

1408
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: fight was an ultimate fighter or fourth fights awesome fighter.

1409
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: I remember those guys say there's no way can Corey

1410
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: can win. He only got three fights before, no way

1411
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: you can win. I just blast double people.

1412
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: Thank you wrestling.

1413
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

1414
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: Over time, and it was just learning stuff that first lost,

1415
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: the second loss, a third loss, a fourth loss. Every time,

1416
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: I never had my head down, just learned from it.

1417
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: I remember after It's p fight, remember Duke saying something

1418
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: in the back, like you know what you did wrong.

1419
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: He's like, you slipped like a boxer threw a head kick,

1420
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: same thing Usman just did against Leon Edwards. He threw

1421
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: that cross out there and you slipped the punch and

1422
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: you go right into the kit. The thing is a kickboxing.

1423
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 3: You can't do that.

1424
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 4: You got to keep this X going. You got an

1425
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 4: X block.

1426
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: I remember who was fighting at night and he said,

1427
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: it's like, dang, that's that's good. And I said that

1428
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: to one of my coaches, like you didn't know that,

1429
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 1: And I thought about them, like I've never actually took

1430
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: a class.

1431
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 4: That's a lot of things I don't know.

1432
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm telling Ricardo, like Cocarda, you know, I've never actually

1433
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: took like a basic class, right I never? Yeah, Like he'

1434
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: like what, like I've never you learned trumping and you

1435
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 1: learn the different rules and breakfall like I was always

1436
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: you went with the pro guys.

1437
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 4: Think a swim. So it's like I'm just scrambling and wrestling.

1438
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 5: Well, every time you add something, man, you level up exactly,

1439
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 5: and it's showing now at the peak of your power

1440
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 5: as the peak year prime at thirty two. So we

1441
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 5: talked about the transition from UFC, big free agent signing

1442
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 5: with Bellatur. You make an early splash, then they bring

1443
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 5: to you the idea of this Ape Man Tournament, Grand Prix,

1444
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 5: Million Bucks World title. But to be honest, I labeled

1445
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 5: you as a dark horse. But we're talking about holy

1446
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 5: Ship Rumble Johnson's in this tournament.

1447
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 2: Holy crab l were merrows in here.

1448
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 5: The deem Nemkov had just you know, made himself a

1449
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 5: global name, Phil.

1450
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 2: Davis, Ryan Bader, the.

1451
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 5: There are a lot of reasons to chase the sex

1452
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 5: factor in other areas.

1453
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 2: Yet Corey Anderson all along, did.

1454
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 5: You feel at any point people were overlooking you. I mean,

1455
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 5: there's a theme in your career. But when that tournament

1456
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 5: drug gets announced, what are you thinking?

1457
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 1: They don't think I'm gonna make it out the first round?

1458
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: It was a fat it was the painting was on

1459
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 1: the wall. It was as soon as it was announced.

1460
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,440

1466
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,399

Speaker 4: like corey Ans is not gonna make an memes.

1475
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: I was gonna spost to meet meme the other day,

1476
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: like a throwback of like Cory Anson signs the Belito

1477
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: and it was me. It was like a back of

1478

1479
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: Belatore me looking and I look up and this guy

1480
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: comes down the corner sains Rumble Johnson like, and it

1481
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,439
Speaker 1: was like, like it's funny because nobody thought Cory's gonna

1482
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: make it out of the first round.

1483
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,680

1487
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,200

1492
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,359
Speaker 5: Ko really wasn't in my like my breakdown of how

1493
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 5: that fight might go?

1494
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:13,919
Speaker 3: Was it in yours?

1495
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 4: Was that the whole time I sold?

1496
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: He asked me after, like, Bro, he asked me after

1497
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: the fight, and he asked me next day in the hotel.

1498
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: He was like, in the hotel, I gotta ask you

1499
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: for sure, Like after he'd been drinking, He's like, did

1500
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: you just throw that punch randomly?

1501
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 4: Or was that like playing?

1502
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: Like I told you last night, bro, Like we studied

1503
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: your film and I remember sparring with you twice. Like

1504
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 1: you your jab has always been the same. You don't

1505
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: step with your jab. You lean to make it long,

1506
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: but you don't bring your feet with you in the

1507
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: whole camp. That's what Mark said, We're gonna capitalize on it.

1508
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: That's when he came up with that combo. Now it's

1509
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: like a combo we do a lot. But he's like,

1510
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: if he doesn't step with his jab, I got a

1511
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 1: perfect combo overhead uppercut cross, he stepped, He don't step

1512
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: he's leaning, so his head's gonna be go out there,

1513
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: step with your overhand. You're gonna catch me. He goes back,

1514
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: the uppercuts gonna come, or the cross is gonna put

1515
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: his lights. I wanted to if you look back. We

1516
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: threw that combo way through two. Combo was the first

1517
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: one was jab jabs across or jabs ahead, jabs of

1518
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: the body, cross.

1519
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 4: Of the belly.

1520
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: The next one was we knew he's going jab so now,

1521
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: and I heard Mark say it's coming. You see me

1522
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: shake my head like I know. He throw and I

1523
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: throw it in the first one falls short. I got

1524
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: a step, I know, and next thing you do it

1525
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: and I stepped and I hit him.

1526
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 2: Personal alarming. How how you took him out?

1527
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 5: It was like, oh shit, like like you're doing that now,

1528
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 5: not that you hadn't stopped guys, Johnny Walker. You blew

1529
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 5: him away, but again, and you always seem to kind

1530
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 5: of take it to the next level. So then you're

1531
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 5: going against thedem them cough and look, you know that

1532
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 5: guy had been on the run and he had been

1533
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 5: beaten legitimate guys. Once you started getting in there with him,

1534
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 5: you got an edge quickly. How did you, how did

1535
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 5: you feel that of what we saw that fight? And

1536
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 5: it's a it's interesting how it ended with the no

1537
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 5: conscious and all that. We can get into that, but

1538
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 5: how do you feel you matched up with him once

1539
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 5: that got going?

1540
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,879
Speaker 1: Just like I said that again, I like they say,

1541
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 1: you speak things into assistance if you go back after

1542
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: the baiterfront, I did the meet and they said, what

1543
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 1: do you think about the niem them koff MATCHA It's

1544
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: like a hot pocket.

1545
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 4: You put him in the micro they come out hot.

1546
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 4: You don't want to.

1547
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: Touch it right away. You just gotta wait a little bit.

1548
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna cool down. I said, Like he's gonna come

1549
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 1: out like a ball of fear. He does it every time.

1550
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: But the thing is, most guys they worth it with him.

1551
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: They're trying to keep up with his pace and they

1552
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: get tired. Thing is, I'm a cardio machine, so I

1553
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: can keep up with that pace. And I'm gonna turn

1554
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: it up just a little bit, I said, And I'm

1555
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: just gonna wait and when he starts throwing that, I'm

1556
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: gonna take over. So what's really there was really no surprise,

1557
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: Like it went exactly how I expected. I told coaches.

1558
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: They said in the back. Don't rush anything. It's five rounds.

1559
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: Every time you rush out when you get caught, remember

1560
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: it's five rounds.

1561
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 4: First round. We might lose first, we might lose second.

1562
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 4: You still got three more. Just be patient. When you

1563
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 4: see the opportunity, take it. That was a game plan.

1564
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: We knew he's gonna come out fast. He's gonna bounce,

1565
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna bounce. Just stay with it. And he started,

1566
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: he started hitting me. Remember I started getting fushed and

1567
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to rush it. Nope, stay calm. We're gonna

1568
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: start rolling with him. And he hit you, just roll

1569
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: your neck, let it, don't let it catch, don't let

1570
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: knock your Let's just roll with it. He's gonna slow

1571
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: down the second I started throwing out, like now we're

1572
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: gonna start comming back. All right, get ready. Now he stopped.

1573
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna leave it, Dan, all right, no time

1574
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: for that first takedown. We're not gonna get it. We're

1575
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: not gonna get it. We know he's ready, he's young,

1576
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: he's ready, he's early. Shoot, we got it. He's gonna

1577
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: defend all right. Now he feels me, he feels me.

1578
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it again.

1579
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 4: I look at me.

1580
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: It was like a man and a half left. I said,

1581
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna wait, we're gonna move. Last ten second.

1582
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm gona tell him putim on his ass the last second,

1583
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: just so you know I'm gonna take you down. And

1584
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: sure enough, you see, I'm looking at the clock, and

1585
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: right before the bill, I footswept him to his butt

1586
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: and I got up and just look at it.

1587
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 4: It's not you know, you know I'm gonna take you down.

1588
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 5: You're playing a deeper mental game than you get credit for.

1589
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 5: I think in this regard of not just how you're

1590
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 5: game planning, but how you're like mentally always ready to

1591
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 5: kind of one up him and show him that's command.

1592
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: That's the thing you gotta be. It's not just your

1593
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: preparation in the gym, but your mindset is the biggest thing.

1594
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: That's one thing I've I've really I started doing this thing,

1595
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: brain tapping. It's like I do it before bet I

1596
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: do it and I wake up and just positive mindset.

1597
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: So you always think I'm positive. So throughout the camp

1598
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: and I'm driving, I'm always thinking about how do I

1599
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: want to play this fight out exactly? And then it's

1600
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: like you always gotta have a plan A plan B.

1601
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: Playing see because the plan A don't work, what you're

1602
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna do it? But then when it started working, it's like,

1603
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: all right, so I'm gonna go with this plan. It's

1604
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: just paying attention in just keeping eyes on. Like Mars say,

1605
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: you got to keep your eyes on. The moment you blinking,

1606
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: you don't see something, it's punches that you don't see

1607
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 1: to knock you out.

1608
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 4: So he started hitting me.

1609
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: Like I said, if I started blinking, I'm not gonna

1610
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: see these, that's when the head cake gonna come.

1611
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 4: The two headcakes he threw and anybody in the ideal world,

1612
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 4: those are perfect.

1613
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 3: Up.

1614
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: I went to lean up with my eyes on so

1615
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: I could see it coming. I'll ever to give my hand.

1616
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: Well the other time it's put my hand tight to

1617
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: the head. It's coming. It's just gonna be the tap.

1618
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: It just blocking.

1619
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 4: And it's just that's just the mental training, not just

1620
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 4: the aspect of everything I've been through. But yeah, I

1621
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 4: do that all day long. I'm talking.

1622
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: I drive and I'm always talking to myself and I'm

1623
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: head sparing, what I'm doing, sparring, I'm setting goals for

1624
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: jiu jitsu and going to that fight. It was no different,

1625
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: And like all week, I played it in my head

1626
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: how we're gonna do it.

1627
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 5: But accidental fall wasn't in that vision. So how does

1628
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 5: it play out for you in real time? What's your mindset?

1629
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 4: Talk to us about Okay, I just played this to

1630
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 4: three people this last week.

1631
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: So you see fights where a guy with they head

1632
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: butt and it gives a blood the ref of the

1633
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: child to judge like, don't count that. That was an

1634
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: accidental head butt. That's that's all I was doing. I

1635
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: did not tell him. I was not thinking he was

1636
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: gonna stop the fight. I heard him say that was

1637
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: a clean shot, but I was trying to tell him like, no,

1638
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't.

1639
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 4: It was my head. So maybe he told the judge like,

1640
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 4: all right, don't count that damage. That was an accident.

1641
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: I had no idea it was gonna stop until I

1642
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: looked down and saw how bad it was. And he's

1643
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: still saying clean shot, clean shot, Keep going, keep going,

1644
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: like no, it was ahead, But I'm thinking they was

1645
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: just gonna give him a second to click wipe the

1646
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: blood of his out or something. I didn't know the

1647
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: doctor was even gonna come in and look at it

1648
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: that they stopped the fighting. The doctor from the he

1649
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: before he even step in the cage. He steps up

1650
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: the gate and he waves off like you ain't even

1651
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: come in yet, Like, yo, it was a bad cut. Yeah,

1652
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: it was bad, but at the same time, at least

1653
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: put some past but three seconds go away and then

1654
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: take time to work on it.

1655
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 4: I was literally just letting him. I heard him say

1656
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 4: clean shot.

1657
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: Just let him know it wasn't It was because dem

1658
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Koll said something and that's all I agreeing, Like, yeah,

01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 6: I can't imagine you don't have all the enthusiasm in

1668
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 6: the world this time, especially since the first time you

1669
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 6: were kind of taking that fight away from him and

1670

Speaker 1: Yeah, I hoisted. I mean visualizing that. So I got

1675
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 1: in the game. I came here to be the best.

1676
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: I didn't come here just to be a partaker. I

1677
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: didn't just be one of the best fighters. Where I

1678
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: want to be the best. I want to hold the

1679
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: belt up. You know I've got I'll go to bed

1680
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: and vision this empty spot of butt TV with a

1681
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: shout out boxing the belt up there. You know it's

1683
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: the house for that reason. In Jersey and going to

1684
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: his fight, it's like I'm not fighting the same nim

1685
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: call up and thinking about it the whole time. It's

1686
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: a whole new person. And the first thing my brother

1687
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: said out of the fight, he came like, bro, it

1688
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,160

1689
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: he didn't have intel. Now I got into it. So

1690
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna go back to everything he know him Fade

1691
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: or he got Fader as the coach, so you know

1692
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,439

1693
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:10,080

1695
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:14,920

1696
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: how good you were in the first place.

1697
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this, I'll come clean.

1698
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 6: I thought he was gonna win, and then you the

1699
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 6: ease with which you controlled him in the wrestling was Honestly,

1700
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 6: it shouldn't have been surprising, but in real time it was.

1701
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 6: I wonder how much you think that's gonna play a

1702
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 6: role in the second part, right, because wrestling sort of

1703
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 6: is the central lynchpin of your game, even though the

1704
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 6: other parts are pretty good now as well.

1705
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know he's gonna any thinking about it,

1706
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: one undred percent. That's the takest thing, you know. It's

1707
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: like we already know it can take me down. So

1708
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,479
Speaker 1: I mean, why he was hurt? I hurt bested people

1709
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: from Russian and stuff heard or just you know, the

1710
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 1: gym training with Russian world champions and this is this

1711
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: like it doesn't I know, guys that wrestled were guys

1712
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: way better than me for years straighten and they had

1713
01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: to fight me eventually. It just if you haven't done

1714
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: it your whole life and you don't have the pace

1715
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: to do it, you might defend it. The first full

1716
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: five six seven. But if I keep shooting Benual, I'm

1717
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 1: gonna get you down, you know what I mean. Think

1718
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: about I thought Pat Cummins, who was the Olympic bow

1719
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: World team back up and d one Ali may Or runner.

1720
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 5: Up twice and a successful barista before the UFC call up,

1721
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:18,439
Speaker 5: and that was coming.

1722
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: But you know, and everybody, oh, Corey can't wrestle. But

1723
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: it's just the way I wrestler is different. You can

1724
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: go to as many wrestle rooms as you want, but

1725
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 1: I wrestled one way and MMA wrestle are completely different.

1726
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm just relentless, I'm grinding. I'm putting that on you,

1727
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: and there's nobody implement that unless it's me. Like it's

1728
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: just so I know that's gonna be a thing, and

1729
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: I know he's gonna try to switch up and probably

1730
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: avoid that.

1731
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 4: And since I'm always thinking, what is he going to

1732
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 4: do different this time?

1733
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: What is that he think he had the most success

1734
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: that was the striking area. But if he keeps striking him,

1735
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: he's making an opportunity for me to take him down.

1736
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: You know, he keep overstepping, I'm gonna grab a leg eventually.

1737
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't really worry about so much what he's gonna do.

1738
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: That's not gonna go out there and do what I

1739
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: do on a hundred times better I did the last time.

1740
01:03:57,880 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: And that's why I've been focused on. I got the

1741
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: new coach, not new coach and with the same team,

1742
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: but when I moved to Indiana, so I working with

1743
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: this new coach, Pat McPherson. He was Chris leto Matt

1744
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: Mitri on those guys a Golden Glove winninggains Golden Glove

1745
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: boxing champ or a boxing coach in Indiana. So I've

1746
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: been working a lot to striking and different movements and

1747
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: stuff for him. Got Olympic champ Sugar Ray Steals, He's

1748
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: on the team. He's been working on talking Tommy do

1749
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: some things and striking and just a good jiu jitsu program.

1750
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 1: So I'm taking stuff that they taught me, some new

1751
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 1: things that I had never did before, and I'm focusing

1752
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 1: my new game plan more around that, because that's he

1753
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: hasn't seen this.

1754
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 2: He may f around and get a tap out for

1755
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 2: the title.

1756
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 4: Are a lot of things I'm looking to do in

1757
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 4: this title fight.

1758
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 5: You said that, yeah, you may have said off camera

1759
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 5: that at home. You know there's nothing you won't fix.

1760
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 5: You're not you're not paying for somebody to come do something.

1761
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 5: As a dad, as a landowner, when you think about

1762
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 5: one million dollars, forget the title. When you think about

1763
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 5: that one million dollars, there's got to be one item

1764
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 5: you're going to add to the to the farm, to

1765
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 5: the land, to to to really you know, step up

1766
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 5: even higher in your dad game.

1767
01:04:58,320 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 2: You got your eyes on anything.

1768
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 4: Moha, how much?

1769
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 3: How much? How much? How much? Is one hundred acres

1770
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 3: in Indiana?

1771
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 4: Lots of you've written out here in East Coast.

1772
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 3: I think I can probably get it.

1773
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: The chief that I can probably find it in a

1774
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: lower right area, like a lower farm right area. I

1775
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: can probably get it for maybe five hundred thousand or so.

1776
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean so it's in the ballpark of what

1777
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 3: you could potentially afford.

1778
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean it depends on what. If his

1779
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 4: would lot, it'd be a lot cheaper.

1780
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: But if it's more crop, which I'm looking for, I

1781
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: want to get some with crop land and probably rant

1782
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: to a farmer, you know that way. I got income

1783
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: coming both ways. So you know I'm always thinking money

1784
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: on my mind.

1785
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 5: You know, you got a firm handle of what you're doing,

1786
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 5: not only to not let all of this stuff break

1787
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 5: you on your journey to get here, but you even

1788
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 5: talked about when you considered walking away after the health scare,

1789
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 5: that you mentioned something that not a lot of fighters

1790
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 5: can say, not a lot of us can say, you

1791
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 5: got your finances in order we could walk away. You've

1792
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 5: always seemed to kind of be ahead of the trap

1793
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 5: that you know, a pro athlete in any sport can

1794
01:05:58,400 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 5: get into, of spending too much.

1795
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 2: Tour How did that was that? Is that go back

1796
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 2: to your dad being out your ass?

1797
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that goes My father grew up poor.

1798
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: He's the youngest son, his daughter's younger sister. It was

1799
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: ten of them, ten and nine, but he was the

1800
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 1: youngest son and they grew up with nothing, you know

1801
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: what I mean. So now to him have a successful

1802
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 1: roofing business and he got the money he does to

1803
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 1: this day. My dad washed his paper plates. That's one

1804
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: thing we don't understand today.

1805
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 3: That's a bit lucht.

1806
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: My dad got always he washed his like he still

1807
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: lives like he's. Like my brother said, you gotta think

1808
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: we always make fun of him for it. But you

1809
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: gotta think the fact that he's lived that way his

1810
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: whole life is the reason why he's so good with money.

1811
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't waste anything, want not waste nothing.

1812
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 6: We got to get your dad a paper plate sponsorship.

1813
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 6: I feel like that's the thing.

1814
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 1: Hey, man, my dad, it's a it's weird people judge him.

1815
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: But if you see my dad, you see him rolling

1816
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 1: around daily, you would think he's like a bomb.

1817
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 4: You would not think he is.

1818
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: You go to his house and you see, like, wait,

1819
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: this is That's just the way he carries so but

1820
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: he's always told us since were his kids, if you

1821
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: make a dollar, you save it. Don If you make

1822
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: a don you save a penny. You saved, always saved.

1823
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: No matter what you get, you saved something like it's

1824
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 1: not gonna always be there forever you got it. And

1825
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: then like when I started fighting, I know, you're get

1826
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: your money out, but you still got to pay the

1827
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: tax man. You know that, right, You got that money

1828
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: and to pay a tax man. But along with that,

1829
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: I didn't plan on being a professional athlete. I went

1830
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: to school and got a college degree, a business degree,

1831
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: so I understood how money worked. You know this, and

1832
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: that you can spend spend money to make money, but

1833
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: at the same time, you got to save. You gotta

1834
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: pay Uncle Sam gonna get his so coming into the

1835
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: fight game, and I said, I was a college wrestling

1836
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,479
Speaker 1: coach making two hundred and twenty bucks every two weeks,

1837
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: but also had another job at a truck and company,

1838
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: at a supervisor. I would pay the bills and I

1839
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 1: was saved every time I say everything. So I remember

1840
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: when I left a fighting the coach that's I'm working

1841
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: with now here, he was working together in junior college.

1842
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: He said, I know you really want to do this

1843
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: and coach, but think about where you want to be

1844
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 1: at the end. You can get to a lot faster

1845
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: if you go fight, and I always have a job

1846
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 1: for you when you're done. And that's exact where we

1847
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: are now. I went back to the n and we're

1848
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 1: working together. I thought about that the whole time. I'm

1849
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: not gonna fight forever, so I'm gonna save all this money.

1850
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Every fight check was direct deposit to the small bank

1851
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: account back in Illinois. I've pass since I was a kid,

1852
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: same account, same bank tells I've had since I was

1853
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: probably seven years old. They seem as as a kid

1854
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:17,560
Speaker 1: and they know all that money is in there. It

1855
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: goes direct deposit right back there now. So I've never

1856
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 1: really touched the fight money.

1857
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 3: Great going.

1858
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 1: I have a YouTube channel for hunting, and I got

1859
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: sponsors and stuff for that. That's pays the bills, the

1860
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: rebox money, whatever we got in the UFC that went

1861
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 1: to the joint account that my wife would paid the

1862
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: bills and stuff from. I was, like I said, before

1863
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 1: I went to US or Belitor, I was still coaching

1864
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 1: at this gym like I was doing private.

1865
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 4: I would coach five days a week. I was missed

1866
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 4: practice because I was coaching.

1867
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 2: Now you get sponsors again, Dynamic Fasteners back on board.

1868
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 4: Hey, all that.

1869
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: I was like all them, any one of them, you know,

1870
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: and saying, I don't just spend money to spend money.

1871
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 5: Well, the next time I talk to you, you could

1872
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 5: be a million dollars richer. You also could be in

1873
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 5: the argument for best heavyweight in the world.

1874
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 3: I mean you are in that argument, but I am

1875
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 3: the best in the words already. If you're beating them

1876
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 3: coff though, like it seals the deal, and.

1877
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 1: People can always find a way to say no, I

1878
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: can go beat John Jones right now, and they'll be like,

1879
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: oh well, who was? John Jones was feeling sick. He said,

1880
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 1: last we court undergrade. People don't like me. I'm not

1881
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: the fan favorite, and that's fine. I've come to terms

1882
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: with that. I'm not here to fight and impress those guys.

1883
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't care if they ever ranked me. When I

1884
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,680
Speaker 1: said it years ago after I beat go over and

1885
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: I beat the number three and they ranked me ninth, Like,

1886
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 1: how do I go down?

1887
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 3: I was eighth?

1888
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I was ninth. I moved up to eighth,

1889
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: and I moved back down to Now how do I

1890
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: beat the number three? And I go back down to nine?

1891
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 3: Now?

1892
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: Be Johnny Walker? Who wasn't ranking rank me five? And

1893
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:39,880

1894
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna rank me third? Like they just no matter what,

1895
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: they never gonna give me my credit is due. I

1896
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 1: can't to terms, like I said after the fall, like

1897
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:47,719
Speaker 1: I don't really care what the people think anymore.

1898
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 4: I know how good I am. I know what I

1899
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:49,600
Speaker 4: can do.

1900
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 2: I love the introspection.

1901
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 5: And he was honest earlier he said he was addicted

1902
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 5: to those three letters. Look, you've been addicted to three yourself,

1903
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 5: BBL And it's really, you know all.

1904
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:57,760

01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 2: Let's wrap up here, Latina. Sorry, is it's a personal

1906
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 2: he ate a lot of paint chips, a Brazilian butt

1907
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 2: lift from it didn't play in that category.

1908
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 6: We're ashamed of him. Your nickname is overtime, but when

1909
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 6: you started, it wasn't my favorite. I'll be honest. The

1910
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 6: Beaston twenty five eight, I don't even know what that means.

1911
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 6: When did you change from beston twenty five eight?

1912
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 4: The dorm room name? What is it?

1913
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: It was something my brother, me and my brother had.

1914
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 1: It was a brand, it was a shirt, a logo.

1915
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: It's still still the brand. It's still my Company's company

1916
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 1: is Beasting twenty five eight LLC.

1917
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 3: But that's pretty cool.

1918
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: I like it started off like, okay, So when I

1919
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: was in college, like I was working out all the time,

1920
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: training and my brother I remember coming home and he

1921
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: was a professional poker player.

1922
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 4: He was always playing. Man, you know, it pissed me off.

1923
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: You go places and I see other wrestlers they also

1924
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: i'll be going twenty four seven. I'm going twenty four seven.

1925
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: But I've never seen nobody train like you and grind

1926
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: like I do. It's like we're going twenty five eight. However,

1927
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 1: he looked at was on the computer, is playing online?

1928
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 4: Point you look at him. It was like, hey, bro,

1929
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 4: we're making the shirt Beast in twenty five eight.

1930
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 3: That's it.

1931
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: And this is actually before I debuted in the UFC,

1932
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: or after I did the Ausmind Fighter and it's gonna

1933
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 1: do my debut.

1934
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:13,639
Speaker 4: He was like, go make your sure that's the name.

1935
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 4: That's gonna be it. That's gonna be it, Beast in

1936
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 4: twenty five eight, and he that was it went.

1937
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 3: You know, it's good that I wasn't in the room

1938
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:21,560
Speaker 3: because I would have talked you out of it.

1939
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 2: The broad chest tattoo week. What he could have talked about.

1940
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: It was more of a using an aspect to get

1941
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: the brand out there, because we're just gonna start a

1942
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: little clothing line when and if my name was out there,

1943
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: it was gonna let it go. But the clothing line

1944
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: fell off and I just stuck with Okay, but you did.

01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:55,200
Speaker 6: on November eighteenth.

1976
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 3: You've been working overtime for a very long time, and.

1977
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 6: I know that you're not concerned with the opinions of

1978
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 6: two idiots like me and him, which is quite fair.

1979
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 6: But it would be nice to see somebody who's been

1980
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,640
Speaker 6: putting in the hours and the sacrifice that you have

1981
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,000

1984
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 6: are hard enough, and everyone's careers are difficult enough. All

1985
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 6: you can never hope for is that everyone gets home

1986
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 6: safely and then made the best man win.

1995
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 4: I think it's so like you said, a long time coming.

1996
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 4: I was staying on the shirts last time.

1997
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: A long time coming at this time is unfinished business,

1998
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go get a den.
