1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: Take a little bit longer than I thought. You have

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: to keep moving from setback to setback without losing the

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: enthusiasm fail your way to the top.

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,920

Speaker 1: Old Michael, focus so much on being perfect once I

8
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: got to a certain point, once I won that first

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: how you conduct yourself after a loss, that this is

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: part of the journey and when you do win the belt,

12
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: when the belt does come on the belt for the

00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,440

Speaker 2: over here, just like how much of like a pro

63
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: and just your how high your emotional intelligence is in

64
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: the first place. So like when something like that happens,

65
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: like obviously people want to find stuff, like your corner

66
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: wants to find things to tell you. That's gonna let

67
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: you because everybody wants to be there for you. Yeah,

68
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: because they feel like they experienced the loss with you.

69
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: Yea. And so when I'm texting you is like, you know,

70
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: this dude knows like he knows the game. How long

71
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: have you been fighting? Be thirteen years? In August. That's

72
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: Like you've been in the fight game so long, it's

74
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: like it just seems like such a like the biggest

75
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: moment because it's happening right now and it's the UFC

76
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: two sixty two, Like it seems so huge because it's

77
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: you know, obviously I know all of us we're tuned

78
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: in watching. Like again I was telling Cody, because we're

79
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: all fired up at the house watching and we're moving.

80
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: It's not like when Cody used to wrestle, like being

81
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: on the mat watching him wrestling, and then when it happens,

82
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: you're just kind of like it just takes the energy

83
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: out and you just the moment seems so huge and

84
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: that at that point in time. But it's like you've

85
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: been in the fight game so long, you you like,

86
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: this is this is.

87
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Like part of the journey. Yeah, it is, and I mean,

88
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing. And this is why I

89
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: so to give a little bit of background. You know,

90
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: we already planned this to be here. You know, we

91
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: did have the boat the belt on ye he said,

92
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: the belt is coming to the bus and that's fucking sick.

93
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: And you know, you sent me a nice text you know,

94
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: like keep your head up type of deal. And then

95
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: you followed back up and then I said, hey, just

96
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: so you know, like I'll see you on the bus.

97
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: And we were like, you know, I'm not quite sure,

98
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, Okay, Yeah, if you're down with it, let's

99
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: let's go. But you don't have to feel me out

100
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: like that. The seat was open because I was like, hey, man,

101
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: thinking about you.

102
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and said something else and you're like, yo, can

103
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: I still come on the bus at one pm?

104
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: I was like, you're goddamn right, like we got to

105
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: see warm for you. Well, and that's I mean. And

106
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: that's the thing, man, the old the old me would

107
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: have you know. I kind of give a talk now

108
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: about because I lost three fights in a row six

109
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty eight days. I went without winning a

110
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: fight back a couple of years ago. And I made

111
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: three mistakes, and the number one, the first mistake I

112
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: made was I wanted to hide from the loss. Media

113
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: was calling me. I was up for five of the year.

114
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: They wanted me to present an award at the World

115
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: MMA Awards. Hey, come present this award. I didn't take

116
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: anybody's phone calls, anybody's text messages, anybody's emails. I was

117
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: off social media because I was just embarrassed, ashamed. I

118
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: wanted to hide. But man, this is where the growth happens.

119
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: That happens, the growth happens in these moments where I

120
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: can sit next to you. I mean a guy who's lost.

121
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you're an athlete. Everyone in here. It doesn't

122
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: matter if you're an athlete, if you're a non athlete.

123
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: We all suffer loss, we all suffer setbacks. We all

124
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: make promises that we want to make good on. Like

125
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring that belt home, Like me and

126
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: my son prayed for Daddy's belt every single night for

127
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: the last two months, the last eight weeks, we prayed

128
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: every single night about Daddy's belt and why Daddy is gone,

129
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: Why Daddy has to be in Florida, has to be working,

130
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: has to be training, has to be away from his son,

131
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: away from his fatherly duties, away from the promise that

132
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: I made to him. So I wanted to make good

133
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: on that promise. But the belt is just the piece

134
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: of the twelve pounds of leather and gold that signifies

135
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: being a world champion. But in order to be a

136
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: champion in life, you have to keep moving from setback

137
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: to setback without losing the enthusiasm, without losing this steam,

138
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: with complete disregard to my previous failures, my previous setbacks,

139
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: one that just happened forty eight hours ago. I still

140
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: got the black guy to prove it. You know, that

141
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: was a million you know, millions of people saw it.

142
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: And there's I'm sure there's a lot of people saying

143
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: a lot of things about me, you know, eating my

144
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: words and I wasn't that good or I wasn't you know.

145
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: But I'm choosing not to hear those things and just

146
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: moving forward in a positive light that this is part

147
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: of the journey and when we do win that belt,

148
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: when the belt does come on, the belt for the

149
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: boys with the boys, it's going to be even better.

150
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: So I hit the ground running this morning. I got

151
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: a sauna session in forty minutes, just you know, discipline myself,

152
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: Like Tommy, h no, I actually have one here. It's

153
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: not put together. We just moved and stuff. So I

154
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: just went to the YMCA and which is much hotter anyway.

155
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: So I sat there for forty minutes and sweated it out,

156
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: sweated out the sweat that was in me for that

157
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: fight and then sweated it out. Monday morning, we hit

158
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: the we hit the ground, run and did something for

159
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: my body, my soul. And now here we are talking

160
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: about it, expressing through the loss, admitting the failure, but

161
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: not only admitting the failure, sitting here with a smile

162
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: on my face, saying, Saturday really did end. Saturday night

163
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: and Sunday morning a new sun rose, and Monday morning

164
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: the sun rose again a little bit more painfully, a

165
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: little bit more you know, a little bit more tough.

166
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: But man, this is It's all part of life, this,

167
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: this whole thing. And that's why people are drawn to

168
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: mixed martial arts, is that is it's a metaphor for life.

169
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: Like what I went through on Insat on Saturday night,

170
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: had a really had a great first round one ten

171
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: eight on two of the three scorecards, and then got caught,

172
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, got caught and lost, you know, and the

173
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: other guy left with the belt that I was supposed

174
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: to have. But yeah, this is life.

175
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: Talk about because before we get into all the fight

176
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 2: and everything like that, talk about those the next twenty

177
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: four hours after that loss, after you you recollect your thoughts,

178
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: you give the you give the interview with Joe Rogan, like,

179
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: what are the next twenty four hours actually, like, like, yes,

180
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: the sun does rise, and I think this is I

181
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: was telling Garrett on the way over. The reason I'm uh,

182
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: I was fired up about talking to you is because

183
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: this is the majority of everyone's journey in life anyway,

184
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: is failures. Most of the time, you fail your way

185
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: to the top, Like you go through so many setbacks

186
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: to end up see you at the top getting to

187
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: the top, Like it's not just some escalator that takes

188
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: you up there, Like this is.

189
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: The majority of what life looks like is losing. Yep.

190
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: So take us through those first twenty four hours after

191
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: after the loss, after the press.

192
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: Conference, you're banging your head against the mic.

193
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 2: Like you can see the emotion, like it was it

194
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: sucked watching it and you just know like fuck, man,

195
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: take us through those those first twenty four to forty

196
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: eight hours.

197
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think the hardest thing, the hardest

198
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: part about mixed martial arts is it is it is

199
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: just so tumultuous. There there is always a chance that

200
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: you can lose, even with even if you're a thousand

201
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: to one favorite man, we're wearing four ounce gloves, these

202
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: tiny little bitty gloves, and you have these spots on

203
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: your body, you know, the temple, the chin, wherever it

204
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: may be, the liver, wherever it may be, where the

205
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: body just shuts off and says, nope, we're done and

206
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: the fight is over. And I prepared perfectly. I left

207
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: no stone unturned. I did every single thing that I

208
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: possibly could. Lived my life like a champion. From the

209
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: moment Hunter Campbell, who is number two in command at

210
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: the UFC, and then Dana called me that that same day,

211
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: and whenever they called me and said, hey, you're fighting

212
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: Charles olivera May fifteenth for the UFC title. From that moment,

213
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: I lived my life like a champion, did exactly what

214
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: I needed to do to put myself in the best

215
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: situation to win. So when it's over and you don't win,

216
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: then it's then it's just you know, the kind of

217
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: the bang in the head on the mic. I think

218
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: it was after a reporter named Mark RIMONDI answered or

219
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: asked me a question about something, and that's when you know,

220
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: every now and then it just kind of hits you

221
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: and you're like, dang man, it's over, Like it's over.

222
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: You can't get this one back. It's not a dream.

223
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: You're not gonna wake up and the bell's about to

224
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: ring and you're gonna get another chance.

225
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's exactly what we were saying. Like, I'm

226
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: gonna let you finish my thought too. But when you

227
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: like lose a playoff game or something happens where it's

228
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: just not and it was the same thing when when

229
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: it was final that you had lost, it's like waking

230
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: up from a dream and that bell's gonna ring again

231
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have another shot.

232
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: Yep, because I've had those nightmares, and a lot of

233
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: times I do have those nightmares. Two weeks before, right,

234
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: two three weeks before before the fight, I imagine, or I

235
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: think I wake up in a cold sweat in the

236
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: middle of night, like I got knocked out, I got

237
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: choked out, or I got extremely tired, I got outclassed,

238
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: I got just got beat. And you know, that's kind

239
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: of what it felt like when when the press conference

240
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: is over, then it's like, Okay, now you go back

241
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: to normal life. I knew even even after the fight

242
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: back there it was just me and my wife. I'm

243
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: freaking crying, my cry my eyes out. Yusada is right there.

244
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: Almost pretty much almost us that guy out because I'm like, dude,

245
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: give me a second to breathe. Man, like I'm gonna

246
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: pie in your cup. I'll get it.

247
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: It's always trying to get you to take a pissed

248
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: test right right when you got back.

249
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: Oh man, well, I I was in the I went

250
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: back to go see the doctor and he's doing the

251
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: lights and the eyes to check my eyes, check my balance,

252
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 1: check my concussion, whatever protocols. And he's there and he's like,

253
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: hey man, and I'm with you, Sada, you gotta pee

254
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: in this cup. I'm like, okay, well give me a second, man,

255
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: Like give me, give me one second. And uh so

256
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: then he followed me back there and just me and breathe,

257
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: and then I, you know, did the use side of thing.

258
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: I apologize to him because I wasn't wasn't the nicest.

259
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: Did you cuss? Maybe? Probably? I don't know, man, you

260
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: don't cuss.

261
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: You're pretty, you're pretty, you're pretty disciplined with the custiner.

262
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know, man, it's and I

263
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: think it's it's just it's that you know when it

264
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: hits you, that it's it's over. And and that's but

265
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: that's the thing. I I truly sit here, I truly

266
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: sit here with zero regrets, like I did every single

267
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: thing that I possibly could. And this is just the

268
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: nature of life in general outside of an octagon, but

269
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: in the octagon especially, it's just the nature of the

270
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: business man. You you win some and you lose some,

271
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: and unfortunately you're gonna lose often. I mean, I fought

272
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: the number three guy in the world, guy who was

273
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: on an eight fight winning streak, a guy who's not

274
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: the number one guy in the world, a guy who

275
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, he's great, he's good. My next fight is

276
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: gonna be against another guy who's top five. It was great.

277
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: Whoever that is like, I'm you know, you're fighting in

278
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: the upper echelon. You're going You're going to lose, and

279
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: so I think that was that was just it. It's like,

280
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: man if I had another shot, I would probably win

281
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: that fight, you know. So you then you start playing

282
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: you replaying it over and it's like, should I have

283
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: let him up in the first round, and should or

284
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: should I have done this? Or should I have done that?

285
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: But when you did every single thing that you possibly

286
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: could to put yourself in the best situation to win,

287
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: you really can't have any regrets. And and that's the

288
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: only thing I can ask for. If I if I

289
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: lost that fight and I was like, gosh, dang man,

290
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: if that weight cut wasn't so bad because I wasn't

291
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: disciplined with my weight, or if I, you know, came

292
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: in and I didn't and I and I knew I

293
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: didn't really train that hard, or I didn't I slacked

294
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: in this I slacked in the area I had no

295
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: I had none of that because I did every single

296
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: thing that I possibly could to win the fight, to

297
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: get myself in the position when that cage door closed

298
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: and that bell rang that I was going to showcase

299
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: my skills and may the best man win. That's what

300
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: I said. That's what I always say. I preach it

301
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: all the time. You you got to embrace the uncertainty

302
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: that's about to happen. And part of embracing that uncertainty

303
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: is the fact that you may lose. Shoot, there might

304
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: even be a fifty percent chance that you're gonna lose,

305
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: a more than fifty percent chance that you're gonna lose

306
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: because you're fighting the best guy in the world. It's like,

307
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: like you said, a playoff game. You don't just fall

308
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. So you just fall into a playoff game.

309
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: You have to be good enough to be in a

310
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: playoff game. And then chances are you're you're playing against

311
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: a team who is really freaking good, and you're both

312
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: rising to the occasion. You're both rising to the occasion.

313
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: And then made the best man win, and the better

314
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: man won that night. I guess if you will, or

315
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: that night he was the better man. We could fight

316
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: ten more times and I could win ten more times.

317
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: You never It's just part of the game. I know, man.

318
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: And two, I didn't know it took him so long

319
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: to get a title fight.

320
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: Somebody had mentioned a stat that it's been eleven years since,

321
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: like this was his first title fight, and it's been

322
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: like eleven years for him to be in the game

323
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: to get a chance.

324
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: He signed with the UFC in twenty ten. I started

325
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: fighting in two thousand and nine. So the guy's been

326
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: cut his teeth in the organization. And that's what I said.

327
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean, and a lot of people, a lot of

328
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: people see the things that I say on the microphone

329
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: or in interviews or this and that, like I'm hyping

330
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: up a fight, and I wasn't hyping up a fight.

331
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: I truly believed that Charles Olaverro wanted to win just

332
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: as bad as I did. This was his opportunity when

333
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: he was born in the favelas of Brazil, which is

334
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: like the ghettos of Brazil, and he had this glimmer

335
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: in his eye that he was going to one day

336
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: become a world champion in the UFC. This was that

337
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: moment that he dreamed about, right, you know, and taken

338
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: off away from him. He beat me, you know, And

339
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: but I truly believed that I was going to beat him.

340
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: And that's when that's when, that's when magic happens. When

341
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: he got two guys or two teams, or two two

342
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: individuals fighting for the same for the same exact thing.

343
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: Someone's got to win, someone's gotta lose, and then it

344
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: just then it just after that. It all depends on

345
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: how does he respond as the champion and how do

346
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: I respond to the guy who who lost in the

347
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: championship fight. And I think by just by sitting here

348
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: speaking about it, we get to move forward quicker than

349
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: if we hide from it, shield our eyes from it,

350
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: not answer the phone calls, not you know, all of

351
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: a sudden just think that I'm not that good anymore,

352
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: or fall into this self pity, the self perpetual, the perpetuating,

353
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: revolving door of Okay, maybe I'm not that good and

354
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: I truly believe I'm still gonna be a UFC champion.

355
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: It just gonna take a little bit longer than I thought. Dude, Yeah,

356
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, man. Adversity shows people who they

357
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: are because it's all about how you respond to anything

358
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: that happens ever in your life. It's all it's like,

359
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: all in your response about how you do it.

360
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: Are we uh, we're not. We're not doing the whole

361
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: interruption of the the ad rates today because this is

362
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,880

00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: juicy conversations. But Doey, is it time to do an

00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,640

388
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: nervous about the.

389
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 2: Thighs rupping together because they're chafing, but you can wear

399
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: I saw the ad come up the last couple of

400
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: weeks we've interrupted. We have an alarm go off and

401
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 2: we have to immediately go in. You have to one take,

402
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: only you don't know anything about what you're about to read,

403
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: and you just go one take and go through the ad.

404
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: And we had Josh Wolf on last week and he

405
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: just destroyed as chirped as hard. But uh, we've had

406
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 2: fun with the ad reads. But to get back into

407
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 2: the conversation about adversity creating, uh, I think Taylor tweeted

408
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: it the other night too. Adversity show adversity. I almost

409
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: just repeated what I said earlier, But essentially, adversity shows

410
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: a man who he is. And another reason I was

411
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: fascinated to say with you because I know you handle

412
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: this stuff very well.

413
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: I am curious to what you said earlier.

414
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: The old Chandler would have not wanted to see anything,

415
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: you know, been wanted to kind of hide shell away

416
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: and stuff like that.

417
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: Why why were why were you that way back then?

418
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: And why do you think it's different now? You know?

419
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: I just think it's a maturation process. I think it's

420
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: I think I'm much more comfortable in my own skin

421
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 1: than I than I used to be, you know. I mean,

422
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: I I make it no secret. I was a small

423
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: guy from a small town who was taught to do

424
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: small things and I and I broke that mold. But

425
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: part of that mold, you know. But but I also see,

426
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: like even even raising a child, you know, and you

427
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: you brought up your dog earlier. Like what happens when

428
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: when a dog knows that he Peter pooped on the

429
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: floor and then you acknowledge it, the dog immediately runs

430
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: away and tries to tuck their tail between their legs,

431
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: and they want to run from it. They want to

432
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: hide from it. When my son does something wrong, or

433
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: he when we're potty training them and he peas or

434
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: poops in his pants, immediately he doesn't want to make

435
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: eye contact. He's looking looking away He even wants to lie.

436
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: He wants to lie and tell you no, I didn't

437
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: when you you know darn well he did because you

438
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: can smell it. Yeah, this is I think it's it's

439
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: it's partly human nature. I think it's partly you know,

440
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: we as human beings, we don't want to let people down.

441
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: We have this this innate yearning to to not let

442
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: people down. And I think in mixed martial arts it's

443
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: such an individual sport too, that the loss was on

444
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: display for everybody to see, and it wasn't you know,

445
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't the boys loss. And the boys were behind me, right,

446
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: you're behind me, and Tailor's behind me. My team is

447
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: behind me, but it's not their loss. It's my. It's

448
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: my no go to bed later that night, you know.

449
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: And so it's it's such an individual thing, but in

450
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: that there's so much freedom because you have the opportunity

451
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: to show people that even in an individual sport, even

452
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: though I can, like I said, I was coming here,

453
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not coming here with a belt, but I'm

454
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: coming here with my heart on my sleeve. And I

455
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: could show up today with my heart on my sleeve

456
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: with complete disregard to that failure that I had just

457
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: forty eight hours ago, and not disregard for it. But

458
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to let it hinder me. I'm

459
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: not going to let it define me, because failure is

460
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: an event and it's not a person. I am not

461
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: a failure. I failed on Saturday night. But the way

462
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: that I respond, in the way that I move forward,

463
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: can prove to those that have failed, and proved to

464
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: those that have seen the failure or had failures that

465
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: they can in the future still become a champion. And

466
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: I truly, I mean I was brought to tears earlier

467
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: when I saw my wife make a post and she

468
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: sent me a message and that I am a world

469
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: champion in life because of who I I have in it,

470
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: the things that I do have, the fact that I

471
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: walked into onto the bus with two capable arms and

472
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: two capable legs, and I get to do what I love,

473
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: and I have a platform to reach people, and I

474
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: do have love in droves. I have health in droves.

475
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: I have ridiculous a ridiculous support system around me in abundance.

476
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: And these are the things that last that that belt

477
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: would have been awesome to bring on this bus but

478
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: it's just twelve pounds of golden leather, and it will

479
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: tarnish and it will fade, and it means a lot.

480
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: It means. It means, it means the epitome of accomplishment

481
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: inside the confines of mixed martial arts competition. It means

482
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm the number one guy in the world. But it

483
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that I'm going to be happy, doesn't mean

484
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: that I'm to be healthy, doesn't mean that I'm going

485
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: to live a long and prosperous life that will in

486
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: turn inspire, motivate and reach people. So it's uh. The

487
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: old Michael would have just would have wanted to not

488
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: do this. The old Michael would have said, man, give

489
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: me a couple of weeks, give me and that with

490
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: those weeks would have turned into a couple of months,

491
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: and they would have turned into you know, sleepless nights,

492
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: and they would have turned into a lot of self pity,

493
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: and they would have turned into a lot of blaming,

494
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: and it would have turned into a lot of a

495
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: lot of self deprecating thing, which really, truthfully is a

496
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: lot of selfishness. I think I think we also we

497
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: also look at our failures in a vacuum and say, well,

498
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: I deserve this time to and I do. I mean,

499
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: if if I and I know you understand this too.

500
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: If I would have said, hey, man, i've seen a

501
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: couple weeks. You know, maybe I'll be back on the

502
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: bus and a couple weeks would have not thought anything

503
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: of it. Give them a couple weeks, let them, let

504
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: them cool off, let them let them lick his wounds

505
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: if you will. And I think I've earned that, But

506
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: I also know it does sometimes come from a a

507
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: selfishness too, thinking that all of these things and these

508
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: losses happen inside of a vacuum, and and they these

509
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: weren't These things happened to us instead of for us.

510
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: And I truly believe that this loss happened for me,

511
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: so that this this chapter of this journey. Now we

512
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: can close this chapter of the first World title. Uh,

513
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: now it was a loss, and now I get to

514
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: build myself back up, and I get to have some

515
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: amazing fights, and I get to have that next chapter,

516
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: which will be winning the UFC title, I think eventually.

517
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: So I think the old Michael would have would have

518
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: ran from it. The old Michael would have would have

519
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: shielded himself from it and thought that Okay, if I

520
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: if I just block everything out, that's where the real

521
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: healing can happen, or until I win again, or until

522
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: I went again.

523
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I know a lot of times people want

524
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 2: to get back to the spot where they're you know,

525
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: obviously comfortable. Well that's and that's the hard because there's

526
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: insecurity that comes with not wanting to face certain certain

527
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: truths and stuff with that.

528
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: And that's the hardest part about mixed martial arts. I mean,

529
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: you brought your brother up earlier. I mean, obviously most

530
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: of the boys know. I wrestled in high school, wrestled

531
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: in college, and that was that was the best part

532
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: about wrestling. If you lost on Wednesday, you got an

533
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to weigh in again Thursday or Friday or Saturday,

534
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: and you get back in the wind column. I'm not

535
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: going to get be able to get back in the

536
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: wind column and get my hand raised and said that

537
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: UFC octagon until you know, I don't know, November, December, January,

538
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: so there there's going to be months and I can't

539
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: wait that long. I can't I can't wait that long

540
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, I'll get back on the winning track

541
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: back then, because my next training session will immediately become okay,

542
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: either I failed completely or I was successful today. And

543
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: the old Michael focus so much on being perfect. Once

544
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: I got to a certain point, once I won that

545
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: first world title, once I got to that number three

546
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: in the world, number five in the world, once I

547
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: got that world ranking, I focus so much on being

548
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: perfect because that's what I thought a world champion was,

549
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: That's what I thought an the athlete at the highest

550
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: level was. But truthfully, we're all human beings, We're all

551
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: flawed individuals. We will have we will suffer losses, we

552
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: will suffer setbacks, and truthfully, it says so much more

553
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: about how you conduct yourself after a loss than it

554
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: would if I came here on the belt and on

555
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: the bus with the belt. And not that I trust me,

556
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: but always I wish I had the belt. Oh, I

557
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: mean I wish I won. But but now it gives

558
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: us an opportunity to talk about how do where do

559
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: we go from here? How do we move forward? Or

560
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: from here? And luckily I've been here before, and I've

561
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: been and I've battled back from worse than losing to

562
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: number three guy in the world. In a UFC title fight.

563
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of great things that came from this weekend,

564
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: and I think my response moving forward will do more

565
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: for my legacy, for the future, accolades, for the support system,

566
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: for the boys, for the following, for the everything than

567
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: even the wind. You know. And I still got this.

568
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: This story is far from being over. Is what is

569
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: kind of next for you? You mentioned November, December, January, February.

570
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: You think it's gonna be that long until you're able

571
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: to get back in the ring. I think, you know.

572
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I've had a heck of a year, man,

573
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: you have had a year.

574
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: I feel like it's been a whirlwind. We came in

575
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: hot man, because you had to be ready for the

576
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 2: fight that you didn't end up fighting in. That was

577
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: one step, which is obviously, you know, a great move

578
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: by everybody's part.

579
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: And it was a full training camp. Yeah, it did

580
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: a full training camp for that opportunity, which was just

581
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: a backup role. And then I did another full training

582
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: camp for January, and then another full training camp for May,

583
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: and now here we are May seventeenth, and uh, you know,

584
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: halfway through the year, so I probably I'll probably be

585
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: here in Nashville for a solid two months. I mean,

586
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to Florida. I have a home

587
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: down in Florida now, So it's much like yeah, no,

588
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: well it was. It was a mandatory. It was a

589
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: mandatory situation. Like I was doing the VRBO thing, and

590
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: then I had a book a VRBO and book a

591
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: rental car, and now I just I'm gonna have my

681
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: like I'm a professional athlete, and I don't think a

00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: lot of fighters, don't. You know, A lot of them are.

683
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: A lot of them show up into training camp eight

684
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: weeks ten weeks out before ready to get in shape,

685
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: shed the fat, get your cardio back up.

686
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 2: Man.

687
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: I want to be in tip top shape and ready

688
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: to go the day my feet hit the pavement down

689
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: in Florida, and I can move forward and do training

690
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: camp in shape and you know, lean, ready to go.

691
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: So I can just work on skills, just work on

692
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: game plan, just work on acquiring new skills. So between

693
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: training camps, like you know, I landed on Sunday, hit

694
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: the son of this morning, so I'll do strength and

695
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: conditioning this week. My body, you know, my body is

696
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: not not banged up. I'm a little bit sore here

697
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: and there. Took a couple of lake kicks, hands are

698
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: sore as heck from you know, punching or whatever beat

699
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: the shit out of me. Yeah, my hands are sore, dude.

700
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: But but you know, but it's just the little things

701
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: that I can just work around and just keep my

702
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: body moving because I I truly believe this. I don't

703
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: think we get old. I think we get lazy, and

704
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: we get busy, we get really busy, and then and

705
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: then we justify and then we become lazy. So I

706
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: think at thirty five years old, I feel like I'm

707
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: still twenty five. My body still feels like I'm twenty

708
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: five because I've stuck to my body work. I've stuck

709
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: to I use my roller every day, I use my

710
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: soul right every day. I'm supplement. I did not miss supplements.

719
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,520

735
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: of that bathroom. Uh you know, so so back to

736
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: my body and taking care of me. I just want

737
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: to I always say this too. I as a fighter,

738
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: we always think, okay, well, punching, kicking, kneeing, elbowing, grappling,

739
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: grappling and and grappling defense, those are those are the

740
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: most important things. But I also think, if all things

741
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: are equal and we're just as if me and my

742
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: opponent to strike the same and we grapple the same,

743
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: we wrestle the same. The guy who is the better athlete,

744
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: who can push for longer and not just push for longer,

745
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: but push for longer after it gets painful, who is

746
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: mentally tough, physically tough, and a better athlete, that guy

747
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: is going to probably be the guy who has a

748
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: better chance of winning. So I've always just tried to

749
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: become a better athlete, especially between training camps. So I'm

750
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: working to I'll be doing a ton of strength and conditioning,

751
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: lifting a little bit heavier, put on a little bit

752
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: more muscle mass that I lost during training camp because

753
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: I for eight to ten weeks, I'm basically operating at

754
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: a calorie deficit every day to shed the fat, lose

755
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: a little bit of muscle mass so I can make

756
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: one fifty five, Like you know I woke up this

757
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: morning one eighty four. Oh shit, Yeah, in a week

758
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: or two, I'll be I'll probably be closer to one ninety,

759
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, after I put on maybe a little bit

760
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: of a little bit of body fat. So I'm like

761
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: cutting from one ninety to one fifty five. So I

762
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: gotta lose a little bit of muscle mass to get

763
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: down to Yo. That's insane, man, yea fifty five. It's

764
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: not fun. It's the worst part about about fighting. But

765
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: at what point were you one fifty five? Like when

766
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,959
Speaker 1: was the way in Friday? Friday morning and you're walking

767
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 1: you're right now, what would you say? Four this morning?

768
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,880

00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 2: thirty pounds heavier ish?

789
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: How much? How much weight do you gain from the

790
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: way into the fight. So that was uh yeah, I

791
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: was about one seventy seven when I did my workout

792
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: Saturday morning because I always do a shakeout. I always

793
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: doing like a hard pad session Saturday morning. Sweat a

794
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: little bit, shake it out a little bit, go over

795
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of game plan stuff, and then we

796
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: fight Saturday night. So I was like one seventy seven.

797
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: See you're already up over twenty pounds. Yeah at that point. Yeah, well,

798
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean, just uh, simple nuts and bolts like a

799
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: gallon of water weighs eight pounds, and I can crush

800
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: a gallon of water in the first hour, so I'm

801
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 1: already up eight pounds, and then after two hours, three hours,

802
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm already through two gallons of water. That's sixteen pounds.

803
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: You know, is it like the old wrestling days where

804
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 2: you go to the when you're a kid, you weigh in,

805
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 2: you make weight, and you go to the nearest buffet

806
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: in town and just load the plate up.

807
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: No man, and that well, that's one of the great

808
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: things about the UFC. No free shots, no shots out

809
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: and no free shots. The buffets either about no fucking

810
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: you got but no, you know, they have they had

811
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: all their all meals set up. So I mean I had.

812
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: I had a big old thing of rice and salmon,

813
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: rice and chicken afterwards. So I had been eating essentially

814
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: the same thing for the last eight weeks. So the

815
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: last thing I want to do, I want everything in me.

816
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: Wanted to go grab a pizza or even like a

817
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: big pasta or something, and I think I did. I

818
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: actually did have one gluten free pasta that night, no

819
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: free doction, fresh shouts pasta.

820
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: I thought we would come together and like you know,

821
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: a bond over a memory of like being young, making

822
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 2: way you go to the nearest buffet, but you like, no,

823
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 2: you know, salmon rice and like, okay, yeah, no, I thought,

824
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 2: before you uf title fight, you'und I just wanted to

825
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: keep I wanted to keep it all all the same.

826
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: And then uh, you know, and then afterwards, even that night, man,

827
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: after the fight, I finally ate that Snickers. Did you

828
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: did you hear about the Snickers? No? Like there was

829
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: a so right before I got the phone call from

830
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: Hunter Campbell, like two days before now, I guess a

831
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: couple of days before that. We were at an airport

832
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: because we went to San Diego and bre got me

833
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: a snore. No free shouts, but she got me a Snickers.

834
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: It's my favorite, my favorite candy bar. And I stuck

835
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: it in my bag and I didn't eat it, and

836
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: it stayed with me the whole trip. I forgot it,

837
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: and then I got the phone call that I was

838
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: fighting for the UFC title, and that same day I

839
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: pulled it out and I'm like, dangdude, I can't eat

840
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: this now this sucks. So I had it down to

841
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: a Florida with me, Florida with me for the last

842
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: two months like kind of set it up on my like, yeah,

843
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: like you're not going to eat you this is like me, yeah,

844
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, creating boundaries. Yeah. And then so it made

845
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: the Countdown show or no, it made Yeah, I made

846
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: the Countdown show and it made the embedded show. And

847
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: then and then people people immediately came and like look

848
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: at Chandler trying to get the Snicker sponsorship or look

849
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: at the UFC shamelessly promoting Snickers.

850
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 2: And I was like, no, man, that's just a funny story,

851
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, but Snickers if you want to sponsor

852
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 2: a boy, yeah what Haler? Yeah, you know, no free

853
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 2: shots if you want to be for the boys exactly.

854
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: Because then in but it was after the fight, it

855
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: was already so late, you know.

856
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: I didn't hit the press conference till almost one, and

857
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: then everything was pretty much closed, Like I could have

858
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: got pizza cut out something. I was like, I was like, babe.

859
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: That was because Bree was like, hey, what can I

Speaker 1: get you? And get you some food? Get you what

861
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,439

862
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: I got you know, tk O. So I wasn't gonna

863
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: drink anything. Yeah, But as far as food. I you know,

864
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: all bets are off. I could have eaten anything. But

865
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: then it's like this would make me feel real depressed

866
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: if I really filled myself with a bunch of freaking food.

867
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: So I was like, process, many, Yeah, I'm gonna eat this. I'

868
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,520

869
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: another protein bar or something, And that was pretty That

870
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: was it. And then I woke up the next morning

871
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: and had had breakfast. But Snickers is your favorite candy

872
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,120

1033
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: mean it is a crazy thing because we you know,

1034
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: you spend all this time thinking about your opponent. You

1035
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: spend all this time watching footage or or maybe their

1036
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: fights or their highlights, their low lights. Then you do

1037
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: their face off and the way in and you sat

1038
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: you see him one fight week, they started a little

1039
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: bit sucked down, a little bit frail, and then when

1040
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,399
Speaker 1: you step inside the the Octaguy, okay, that's a fight.

1041
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: He's a very big boy, you know. Charles Olivera was

1042
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: definitely taller than me, longer than me, but he was

1043
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: very he was slender. I guarantee I weighed more than

1044
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: he did. But no, not really. I mean we're all

1045
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: all relatively the same size. You know, you're built like

1046
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: an am staff. I'm a pretty good pit, you know

1047
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: what I mean. Two c's let's talk about the fight.

1048
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: First round number one, Me and my brother shout out.

1049
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: Ain't no free shouts to Cody Compton, but all three shots.

1050
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: Because he's a boy.

1051
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: We've obviously armchair QB this whole thing. Yep, you know

1052
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 2: what I mean. The why didn't you let him up?

1053
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the first round. Did you ever feel

1054
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 2: in trouble when he had your back? Like when you

1055
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 2: were because you did a great job controlling the wrist,

1056
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 2: But were you ever there's times.

1057
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: Where I was getting a little nervous.

1058
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 2: I was like, oh shit, especially when you picked him

1059
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 2: up and slammed it down it it didn't seem like

1060
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 2: it got him off off of you.

1061
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: Were you ever feeling a little nervous about that? So

1062
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: I wasn't because I really feel comfortable when someone has

1063
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: my back that they're not going to choke me. I

1064
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: can shrug my shoulders and I don't have the longest

1065
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: neck and it's like built like a pit. Yeah, you know,

1066
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: so it's like I'm not that easy to choke for

1067
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: the most part. And then when I get hit and

1068
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: I get risk control and I get a one on

1069
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: one or I get my two hands on his one wrist,

1070
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: which is what I did. Yeah, a couple of shots

1071
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: because he had the one arm free. But but for

1072
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: the most part, I knew I wasn't letting that that

1073
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: bad dog go. And that's when I preached all the

1074
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: all the young guys who are out there grappling, it's

1075
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: like you get that one that one wrist. A, you're

1076
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: gonna get out, and B he can't choke you. So

1077
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: I held it and I had that sucker for like

1078
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: a full minute. I think, oh, yeah, my forearms are

1079
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: sore as heck, and it's not from anything else. Was

1080
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: I's probably holding that sucker for dear life. And then

1081
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: and then I did. I usually am able to do

1082
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: exactly what I did, and he was. He is literally

1083
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: the best grappler in the lightweight division, maybe one of

1084
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: the best grapplers on the planet, most submission wins in

1085
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: the UFS, in the UFC, most submission wins in the

1086
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: UFC history. And I didn't really feel in danger, and

1087
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 1: I was able to reverse it by keeping the keeping

1088
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: the two on one going over my head and spinning

1089
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,959
Speaker 1: inside of his his triangle that had around my body.

1090
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: He had long legs, so he made a figure four.

1091
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: Not right, he made a figure four in my body

1092
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: because his legs were so long, which is not an

1093
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: easy position. He squeezing the heck out of yet, yes,

1094
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: but once you start getting sweaty by that time, we

1095
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: were sweaty. Slammed him. It kind of loosened up a

1096
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: little bit. Then we kind of sat there a second.

1097
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: He threw threw a couple punches, a couple of elbows,

1098
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: but I was kind of just buying my time, waiting

1099
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: to explode. And I exploded and then got on top. Yeah,

1100
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: and then you put on a little bit of a show.

1101
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to stop the fight at

1102
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: one point. I thought, man, dude, I'm telling you, we

1103
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: were on our feet screaming. Dude. I thought that they

1104
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: were going to end up stopping the fight at that time.

1105
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: And and that's where that's where I go back and forth,

1106
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: because I think I think if I would have just

1107
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 1: backed off and said get up, maybe I could have

1108
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: knocked him out. But then again, I'm I get a

1109
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: lot of finishes when I'm on top of the guy,

1110
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: just ground and pounding, you know, grounding and pounded him.

1111
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: I have good. I have pretty good. He just long,

1112
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: he's at the really long legs. He was trying to

1113
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: keep me at bay. Threw a couple of kicks, came

1114
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: back in. You know, I'm trying to you know, you're

1115
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: aiming for the temple the side of the head, hit

1116
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: the ear, jaw obviously landed, landed some good ground, and

1117
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: pound strikes a couple of elbows cut them open. So

1118
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: I think I think it was a fifty to fifty

1119
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: thing if you look at it and you think, man,

1120
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: what it should have could I probably should have just

1121
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: stood him up. We got about a minute fifteen left.

1122
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: I maybe could have finished him on the feet. But

1123
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: then again, you know, my intuition says, if I got

1124
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 1: a guy hurt on his back, I'm gonna be able

1125
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: to finish him on the ground. And I've done it

1126
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 1: numerous times in the past, so I don't I don't

1127
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: say that that was a bad decision. I think it

1128
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: was a decision that maybe could have yielded a knockout

1129
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: or finished. But I also could have very easily just

1130
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: finished him on the ground as well, but I didn't.

1131
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 2: When so like when like Rogan and those guys talk

1132
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 2: about going back to your feet, Like what is the

1133
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 2: benefit of that other than being on your feet and

1134
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 2: being like Mike's better on his feet stuff like that,

1135
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 2: Like is there an extra ben like an added benefit?

1136
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: Is it?

1137
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 2: Is it that he's days and he's shaken up and

1138
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 2: you're like making him stand up, and he's gonna have

1139
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 2: to fight.

1140
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: Without all that. Yeah, So I mean conventional wisdom, And

1141
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: every fight's a little bit different, every scenario is different

1142
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 1: depending on my attributes and his attributes. But conventional wisdom

1143
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: would say, Okay, he just got dropped. I dropped him

1144
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 1: with the left hook, hit him a couple of times.

1145
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: He's on the he's on the ground, he's kind of

1146
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: like dazed. I saw the way he was looking at me,

1147
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: kind of was looking at me like a deer in

1148
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: the headlights. So to me, I say, I'm going in

1149
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: for the kill. I'm gonna knock him out on the ground.

1150
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: But I also could have just backed off, said come up.

1151
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: He would have stood up, probably would have been a

1152
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: little bit wobbly. And if I landed a couple shots,

1153
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: my power punches on the feet were going to be

1154
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: more effective than the power punches on the bottom. But

1155
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: I also had I also had the film study that

1156
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: said he'd been finished, he'd been finished on the ground before,

1157
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 1: and if Paul Felder can finish him on the floor

1158
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: or other guys can finish him on the floor, I

1159
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: could definitely finish him on the floor. So I think

1160
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: that's where I thought, Okay, I can finish him on

1161
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: the ground, or if I don't, I go back to

1162
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 1: my stool confidence of sky high. He starts to wilt

1163
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 1: and that's where I thought we were, and that's pretty

1164
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 1: much where we were. But he just you know, landed

1165
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: something in the second round, and you know, I fight

1166
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: it out.

1167
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then at the end of the first obviously

1168
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 2: you went back in at the just the last like

1169
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 2: five seconds, try to getting back in there. But is

1170
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 2: there a thought too, like fuck, I should have I

1171
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 2: should have backed up and stood up. Not in the fight,

1172
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 2: there wasn't but now now looking back at it. But

1173
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 2: that's that's the unfortunate thing about this too. You can

1174
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 2: always after.

1175
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: You lose, lose. We all know what you should could.

1176
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: We could have done this, and maybe it would have

1177
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: been different. Or I could have done that, and maybe

1178
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:08,240
Speaker 1: it would have been different.

1179
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 2: So the wood I should have could have such a

1180
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 2: such a tough game to play, and I try not

1181
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 2: to play it too much anymore because I also I

1182
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 2: trust myself.

1183
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, I if I didn't I knew,

1184
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: I knew I did everything that I possibly could to

1185
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: be successful that night. Yeah, to have no regrets. And

1186
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: then I also know that I trust myself to be

1187
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: in the fire. I trust myself, like you know, if say,

1188
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't finish me with that flurry and I'm like

1189
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: hurt or whatnot. I trust myself.

1190
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 2: I know myself to go into autopilot, don't and I

1191
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 2: don't get finished, and I would have been able to

1192
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 2: fight for twenty twenty more minutes and I would have

1193
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 2: won the fight.

1194
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 1: I truly believe that. But you know, the fight happened

1195
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: how it happened. But I don't know. I trust myself

1196
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: to make the decision right, to make those decisions in

1197
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: the heat of the moment. Yeah, and uh, you know,

1198
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't say that I made a bad decision.

1199
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: I think I made a decision, and I think, uh,

1200
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, now we get to you know, play would have,

1201
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: should have could if we want to for sure, you know,

1202
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: And I don't say that like we should or shouldn't.

1203
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's all I'm curious, what's going on.

1204
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just curious what's going on in your mind,

1205
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 2: like as the stuff plays out, because you know, I'm

1206
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 2: thinking in times where I should have made a different decision,

1207
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 2: you know, I'll sit on the bench or something like

1208
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 2: I should have done this, Like next time I'll get

1209
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 2: to see it. Obviously we get more opportunities to see

1210
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 2: it again. But like I'm just curious of the athlete,

1211
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 2: and you like when you get to the to the

1212
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 2: end of that first round, you're like, I should have

1213
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 2: just stood this dude up. Obviously you're thinking, I'm all

1214
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: whoop his ass in the second round. We all everyone's

1215
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 2: excited going into that second no matter what I mean.

1216
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 2: There was there was two ten eights on.

1217
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: The scorecard and one ten nine on the scorecard, right,

1218
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: so two of those two of those judges thought I

1219
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: beat him bad enough to give him give me a

1220
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: ten for sure. So so in that position, when you

1221
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: get done with the first round, I'm going back to

1222
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: the I'm going back to the stool, back to the corner,

1223
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, confidence hide. It's oh similar to if you

1224
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: mess up on the first down, you're not thinking about

1225
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: the first down, going to the second down. Third, you

1226
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: finish the drive, maybe you go back to the bench.

1227
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: Then you think about what I could have done differently,

1228
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: Like me, that's more after the fight. Now, It's like

1229
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: whereas when I went back to the stool. I'm just

1230
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: listening to my coach. Coach Henry's in front of me,

1231
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: Coach Comed's behind me. We're talking about this, that and

1232
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: the other thing. Keep it simple. Fight's going great, fight's

1233
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: going just you know fine. I mean, at this point,

1234
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: the best grappler on the planet took my back, wasn't

1235
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: able to finish me. And even even better, I reversed him,

1236
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: did damage beat him up a little bit, was winning

1237
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: the striking battle on the feats. I mean, it's the

1238
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: fight was going great. So it's you know, at that point,

1239
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: you're just you know yeah, because and.

1240
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 2: If you end up winning that fight, no one's even

1241
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 2: talking about the first round like you should have stood

1242
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 2: him up. This is obviously all the hindsight, like fuck

1243
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 2: the way you want to wake up from a dream

1244
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 2: and be like, hey, is it going to get there?

1245
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: Be redone?

1246
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 2: But in the second round, man, because he barely he

1247
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 2: barely caught you, and is it like lights get fuzzy

1248
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 2: for a second, and it was such a quick turnaround

1249
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 2: that you're just like, I just gotta get I just

1250
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 2: gotta quickly get back, like you said, and get back

1251
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,879
Speaker 2: on this siddle pilot before he because you almost get

1252
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 2: fucking out and he just catches you with that left

1253
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 2: hand to end it.

1254
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, talk talk talk us through that. Yeah, I mean,

1255
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: it's it's all you know, it's it's all fuzzy, you know,

1256
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: more than anything. But I mean yeah, I mean, I

1257
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: I remember, you remember getting hit. I mean, and I

1258
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: can also go back and watch the replay. So then

1259
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: when you watch the replay and then you think, you

1260
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: try to close your eyes and think, Okay, what did

1261
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: I actually see in the fight? You know, you get clipped,

1262
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: and then you're you know, then you're just then you're

1263
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: just moving, you're evading, you're trying to you just going.

1264
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: You go into survival mode, because I mean, there's there's

1265
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 1: the moments in the fight where you go into survival

1266
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: mode and you survive, and then you go into survival

1267
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: mode and you don't survive like this last one. I

1268
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: didn't obviously, but I've been in those positions before where

1269
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: you got to go from I'm either you know, you're

1270
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: either extreme offense or your defense or your survival mode.

1271
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: In this in this particular fight, I went, you know,

1272
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: kind of survival mode. You're you're fuzzy, you don't know

1273
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: which way is up, your your equilibriums off, and you

1274
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: just you know you're there, but you're not really there.

1275
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: And then before you know it, he runs away, and

1276
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: you're like, dang, fights over.

1277
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, You're like refs right here, and you're like, well,

1278
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 2: I could argue with this, but I probably shouldn't argue

1279
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 2: with the stoppage because this guy knows what he did.

1280
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: I want to make an idiot of myself, you know,

1281
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: because we've all been there before, too, are we all?

1282
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 1: We all have as fans have been like why is

1283
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: he contesting that? Stop? But she was a getting beat

1284
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: up or b he tapped, And there's been fights where

1285
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: guys have tapped out completely. The guy gets up and

1286
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: runs away and then the guy's like, why'd you stop

1287
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: the fight? And you're like, dude, you did you you tapped?

1288
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: You do not remember tapping. You were obviously out, you know.

1289
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: So that's the hard part too, is it's and and

1290
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: even and I actually do I'm blessed that I actually

1291
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: got to get on the mic after the fight and

1292
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: Joe came over, because sometimes Joe doesn't do that, and

1293
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: sometimes they don't interview the guy who lost, especially after

1294
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: a t K or something like that that because there's

1295
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: been guys who are like mumbling and humbling, they're like,

1296
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, they're kind of they're still out and they

1297
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: don't really remember what they're saying or they're saying talking incoherently,

1298
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: and that's not good for the sport. That's not good

1299
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: for like Joe. Joe has like gone back on his

1300
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: podcast after on a Monday after a Saturday fight, like, yeah, man,

1301
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have interviewed that guy. You know, that was

1302
00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: that was my bad. I should have just cut it right,

1303
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, cut it. And they said, you know, in

1304
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: my ear, they said, interview him. I just knew he

1305
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: was messed up. He stumbled over me. I shouldn't have

1306
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: done that, because that's just not only is a tough spot.

1307
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: You know, the guy just got his hopes and dreams

1308
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: and heart ripped out, but he's also maybe he's not

1309
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: there coherently. But for me, you know, I was able

1310
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: to get on the mic and I set my piece

1311
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: and shout out to you know, Olvera, no free shouts.

1312
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: He's the world champ, you know, and and you know,

1313
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: tap hat tip to him and let people know I'll

1314
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: be back. And it's you know, it's all part of it.

1315
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: Do you know who you think you might be fighting?

1316
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: I don't like who would be on your radar, Like

1317
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: I don't know people stone around Gaigee people obviously what's

1318
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: gonna happen after Connor and Pourier fight and like maybe

1319
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: the loser of that or something like that, Like who

1320
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: are people that would be on the radar for you?

1321
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: Well that would make that you think in your mind

1322
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: would make sense for you and possibly the UFC. Yeah,

1323
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean essentially anybody in the top five makes sense.

1324
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: You know. It's this The division moves so fast. The

1325
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: sport moves so fast. I mean, that's what even with

1326
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: the UFC brass you know, talk to them after the

1327
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: fight and they're just like, hey, man, keep your head up,

1328
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: keep working, man. This sport moves fast. It's what have

1329
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: you done for me lately? Business? You're only as good

1330
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: as your last fight. But when your world class and

1331
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: you're in the top five, your world class, and you're

1332
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: in the top five, and there's a I've only fought

1333
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: Dan Hooker and Charles Olivera at this point, Like you said,

1334
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: there's there's Poorier, there's get Chee, there's Connor, there's Ferguson,

1335
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: but Neil dry Yush is now in the top five.

1336
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: There's so there's there's no no shortage of guys to fight.

1337
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: But at this point, obviously Connor and Poitier a fighting

1338
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: July tenth. We could see who the winner or the

1339
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: loser of that is. You got Tony Ferguson and just lost,

1340
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: but Neil dry USh who just came in. Traditionally, you know,

1341
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: a guy who comes off a win fights a guy

1342
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: who comes off a win, a guy who comes off

1343
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: a loss fights a guy who comes off a loss,

1344
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: and then one guy moves up and one guy continues

1345
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: to move down. So I think, really any of those

1346
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: names make sense. I mean, the only one that's kind

1347
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: of a wild card is Connor, because Connor does Connor

1348
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: does have a little bit more say than than most guys.

1349
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: I think if Connor, if he loses this fight, though,

1350
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: if he loses this fight, he's still not gonna fight me.

1351
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,439
Speaker 1: I think me and Connor don't. Me and Connor don't

1352
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: match up well for him because he's a he's a striker,

1353
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: and I could I could grapple the heck out him

1354
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: if I wanted to. You know, like I think it's

1355
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: a it's a bad fight for him, Whereas if I

1356
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: was the champion and Connor won, Connor would go for

1357
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: the title no matter what and fight, you know whatever,

1358
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: like just like the fucking be But uh so, I

1359
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: mean Gaetchee or if Poorier loses or Ferguson, you know,

1360
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: like those Feruson just I mean he's getting old, yes,

1361
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: but I mean but he's entertaining. Man. People love him.

1362
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: People do love like people learn. At the press conference, man,

1363
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: he broke out the greatest line of all time, freaking

1364
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: Dana White privilege. It was freaking hilarious, dude. It's it

1365
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: was like for the time that we live in, Like

1366
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, obviously that's somewhat of a negative connotation, the

1367
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: whole white privilege thing, and like, but like the funniest

1368
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: ship dude, Dana White privilege, Dana White. He's like, man,

1401
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: a possibility. Do I think that's gonna happen. But if

1402
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: I got Dana White privilege, I mean, hey, we need

1403

Speaker 1: Dana White privilege, and that's all it is.

1410
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 2: Well at this point, Saint, you just got to run

1411
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,520

1413
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 2: know thing happening when the world with that. And then

1414
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 2: there's also the Dana White's last name and it was

1415
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 2: said by a guy named Tony by the guy liked

1416
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 2: when he Ferguson.

1417
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's all part of it. But I mean,

1418
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 1: I think the general thread and not even if I

1419
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: just take myself out of it, and I just look

1420
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: at my body of work coming into the UFC, and

1421
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: then what I did. We just got done, Sam and

1422
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,439
Speaker 1: I came out hot. I did everything that was asked

1423
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: to me. I showed up like the blue collar Midwest

1424
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 1: kid with the work boots on, just like my dad.

1425
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: Just I showed up with my work boots on. When

1426
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: the phone rang, I said yes one time, two times,

1427
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: three times every single time they called, and two or

1428
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: three other times whenever guys didn't take the fight. I

1429
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 1: was supposed to fight Tony ferguson October twenty fourth, he

1430
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: said no. I was supposed to fight Dustin Pooria October

1431
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, he said no. It was supposed to fight

1432
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Tony ferguson January twenty third. He said no. And then

1433
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: even when I beat Dan Hooker January twenty third, they said, hey,

1434
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: do you want to be the co main event against

1435
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: Charles olivera February thirteenth, And I said yes. I was

1436
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: at Cane Prime here in Nashville. I had a stake

1437
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: in front of me. I had a glass of wine.

1438
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: Got no free shouts to cap I'm m Street. All

1439
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: the restaurants are there, fucking create so and I stopped

1440
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: eating my stake right there. I said, check please, we'll

1441
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: take it. We'll take it to go box. I was

1442
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: on a date with my wife. Hunter Campbell called and said, hey,

1443
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: do you would you do this? And I said yes?

1444
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: And then Charles Oliver eventually turned it down. It was

1445
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: it was on three weeks notice. I was going to

1446
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: fight Charles Oliver in February thirteen. So these are all

1447
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: just the things that have happened six yes. So these

1448
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: are the things that have happened outside of this, the

1449
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: fights that I've actually had that that I think I

1450
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: was rewarded for. That's why I got the title shot.

1451
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 1: You know. It's you've always stayed ready, stayed ready, And

1452
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: the UFC is the biggest and baddest promotion on the planet,

1453
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: and they keep things moving very fast in a forward trajectory.

1454
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: And if you're on the on board with them, if

1455
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: you're on the wagon with them moving forward, and you're

1456
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: going to say yes, You're going to be rewarded for

1457
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: it and it and it you got to be a

1458
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: good employee first. You know you're a good employee. First

1459
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: you get put in a great position. And this is

1460
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: in the corporate world, the business world, other sports worlds,

1461
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: or mixed martial arts. Be a good employee first, be

1462
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: a good ambassador for your organization, be a good ambassador

1463
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: for your weight class, and a good ambassador for yourself,

1464
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: and then you will things will usually work out well

1465
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 1: for you. And I think that's why I got the

1466
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: title shot and now continue to operate with the same

1467
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: through the same vein that I have since day one,

1468
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: and we'll get a fight well, and then we'll see

1529
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 2: by the time I got home because I drove back

1530
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 2: from Missouri and uh, I wanted to sit in the

Speaker 1: But uh, but yeah, I would love to join you.

1534
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: It's so whenever you go this week, just let me

1535
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: know when you're gonna good. What do we have here?

1536
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: Jacob Jacob Schaffner.

1537
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 3: The boys shout out to go Michael Chandler. So I

1538
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 3: got two questions, one for the boys, one for Michael Chandler.

1539
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:26,759
Speaker 3: For Michael, what's the difference in like a UFC title

1540
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 3: fight and a Bellator title fight? And how was that

1541
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 3: preparing in the atmosphere like in Houston? And what do

1542
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 3: you think, well, you'll change or do something different at

1543
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 3: all if you do anything for your next title fight

1544
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 3: in the UFC, because they obviously know you're going to

1545
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 3: be back, no doubt, greatest ever. And then for the boys,

1546
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 3: do you think you'll ever do one of those celebrity

1547
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 3: boxing matches like the Paul brothers are doing, and if so,

1548
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 3: do you think Taylor could kick Logan Paul's ass? Maybe,

1549
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 3: maybe not, but that's just the questions. Shout out to

1550
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 3: the boys, Love you Taylor and Will I guess you're.

1551
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: My dad's but see you at the top. Yes to

1552
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: see you at the time. Shout out Jacob Schefner. Thanks

1553
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 1: Jacob Man. A great question because I obviously fought the

1554
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: majority of my career in Bellator, you know the number

1555
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 1: two organization, and the UFC has been around the longest.

1556
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: I would say the biggest difference is I I won

1557
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: three world titles in Bellator, fought for the world title

1558
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: numerous times, defended the title numerous times, and they were

1559
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: in big crowds. They were in big arenas, the atmosphere

1560
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: was big. But this time was different because everybody knows,

1561
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: or if you don't know, you're you're kidding yourself. Fighting

1562
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 1: for the UFC title means you are the number one

1563
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,640
Speaker 1: guy in the world, no ifans or butts, that's just

1564
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 1: it's just how it is. So when I was stood

1565
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: across the octagon from Charles Olivera, I knew the winner

1566
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: of this was become the number one guy in the world,

1567
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: and if I won, I was going to be not

1568
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: just the UFC World champion, but the world champion, the

1569
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 1: number one guy in the world. So I wouldn't say

1570
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: there was that pressure, but there was that confident expectancy

1571
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: of the excitement of what it was going to be

1572
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 1: had I won the fight, and then really just you know,

1573
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, the UFC is just a well

1574
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 1: oiled machine. The UFC has quarterbacked and championed the entire sport,

1575
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 1: the entire industry, and built it into what it is. Essentially,

1576
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: the other organizations there's about three or four other major

1577
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: organizations outside of the UFC. They can all just show

1578
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,560
Speaker 1: up to venues put on shows, and they don't have

1579
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: to do a ton of promotion because the UFC is

1580
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 1: putting on so such big shows, touching every corner of

1581
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: the globe, putting so much money into marketing and building

1582
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 1: the sport that really all the other organizations can just

1583
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: show up and throw fights and they'll do decently well

1584
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 1: because the UFC is building the sports. Right, That's very

1585
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: apparent when you're there, is.

1586
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 2: It pretty dope? When Bruce Buffer is just going off

1587
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 2: introducing you. You know what I mean, Like you're like,

1588
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm in his fucking ring. He's introducing me.

1589
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: It's it's dope, and and and even it even just

1590
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:07,839
Speaker 1: some like you know, I I started watching. My teammate

1591
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: was on the first guy on the card, the first

1592
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 1: fight of the card, the dude that was a fucking

1593
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: banger fight. Yeah great, this guy named Sean Soriano. And

1594
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: and I was watching the fight, and then they'd say, Okay,

1595
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 1: now that this fight is over, let's turn turn our

1596
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:23,680
Speaker 1: eyes to what's gonna happen later tonight. And then it

1597
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: was like Chandler and Olivera and like and it's I

1598
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: I've watched so many UFC pay per views, and I've

1599
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: watched the pre limbs getting pumped up to watch the fights.

1600
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 1: But this time they were talking about me. And I

1601
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 1: was in my hotel room and in the window behind

1602
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: me was the Toyota Center right back there, a couple

1603
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 1: of hundred yards away, where I was about to report

1604
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: just a couple hours later, to go do handle business

1605
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: and go fight for the title that they are talking

1606
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 1: about on my computer screen right now. So it was

1607
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: just it was cool, man, it's and Bruce Buffer and

1608
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: and they did the they did the blackout completely with

1609
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 1: the the lights around. Yeah, I mean, which I've seen

1610
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 1: on on TV on the pay per views, and but

1611
01:11:57,960 --> 01:11:59,680
Speaker 1: this time it was me inside the get inside the

1612
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: out gun and and I just I rose to the occasion.

1613
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: I lost the fight, but I rose to the occasion.

1614
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: I had a fight. I did everything I could. I

1615
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: didn't feel I felt like I was where I was

1616
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Man, Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

1617
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 1: But that's the beauty of this freaking sport.

1618
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 2: Man.

1619
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 1: You just you take your losses. You take the wins.

1620
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: You never you never you never take the wins for

1621
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: granted because they aren't that easy to come by. And

1622
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: you definitely don't take the UFC title fight, the title

1623
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,599
Speaker 1: shot for granted because those are hard to come by too.

1624
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: So I believe we'll get another one eventually, but we'll see.

1625
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming, bro. I know you got to

1626
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 1: go be a dad. Gotta go be a dad. Man

1627
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: back to daddy, dude. That's good man, this is what

1628
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 1: I want to be though. Hey what do what do you?

1629
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 2: What do you uh you think Dana? The way Jake

1630
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 2: paul Or calls out Dana wife for not paying fighters.

1631
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 2: I man, I I don't know Dana pays me?

1632
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, so, I.

1633
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 2: You know, we're we're always gonna complain about, don't we all,

1634
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 2: Like there's guys in the NFL.

1635
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: You want to make more money, like we all want

1636
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: to make more money. We all and get I get MMA,

1637
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: and the UFC is a little bit different because we

1638
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: don't have a player's association or a union or whatnot.

1639
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: But we also just started what twenty eight twenty nine

1640
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: years ago, so we're still in our infancy as far

1641
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: as the sport goes. Man, as far as I'm concerned,

1642
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: the UFC has champion and quarterback the entire industry. And

1643
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:21,760
Speaker 1: the only reason that we were able to make a

1644
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 1: paycheck whatsoever is because of the sleepless nights and the

1645
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: hard work that Dana White and the Fertida brothers who

1646
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: started the UFC bought it for two million dollars, right,

1647
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 1: they just sold it for like six billion dollars a

1648
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: while back. Now we're owned by William Morrison Devor and

1649
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 1: just to see the growth of the industry. So I mean,

1650
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 1: that's that's just the way that Jake Paul, Jake Paul

1651
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:43,920
Speaker 1: especially Yeah, it seems too right, It seems too outside

1652
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: of anything monetary, like the UFC is like a first

1653
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: class in absolutely everything that doesn't have the whole monetary

1654
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: Like obviously there's arguments for the you know, I made

1655
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:55,600
Speaker 1: this boxing like.

1656
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 2: All the fighters in the UFC get this, But as

1657
01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:59,600
Speaker 2: far as everything else in the total package, it just

1658
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 2: seems like it is one of the premier organizations to

1659
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:02,600
Speaker 2: be a part of.

1660
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. That and and then the other thing

1661
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: too is we can't we can't point our finger at

1662
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 1: our promoter, when really we should be pointing our finger

1663
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: at the man in the mirror who is not. You

1664
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: can monetize yourself, your brand, your voice, your platform, your

1665
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: your sales. You can with with the platform that the

1666
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: USC gives you, you can become a millionaire outside of

1667
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: your fight purses with the promotion and the platform that

1668
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: they give you. Unequivocally, especially some of these guys. Look

1669
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 1: where just look where my following has gone just in

1670
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, and I've only had two

1671
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 1: fights in the UFC. And if I want to monetize that,

1672
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: if I want to start a podcast, if I want

1673
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: to write, you know, I mean I can, I can

1674
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 1: read ads pretty dark. You can that the first Yeah,

1675
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: the fighter and the bloy, you know, so no free

1676
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 1: shouts to the fighter and the brand that hast you know.

1677
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 1: But you can monetize a brand. You can build a brand,

1678
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: and you can make money outside of just your fight person.

1679
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 1: So if you're mad at your promoter because you're not paid,

1680
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,600
Speaker 1: not getting paid enough inside the octagon, well take it

1681
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: upon yourself to take the the attention that you can

1682
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,600
Speaker 1: grab from every single one of these fights and monetize it.

1683
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 1: So that's my two cents. But I'm also a bootstraps.

1684
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 1: You know. The man in the mirror is the guy

1685
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: who needs to do the work, not the other people

1686
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 1: kind of guy anyway, So that's okay. Who can read good?

01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:40,599
