I didn't like count you out of 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.200 not coming and doing the pod. Uh, just because when 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:51.560 I was reaching out to you, I'm just like, you 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.440 know number one, I was telling Garrett on the way 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.320 over here, just like how much of like a pro 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.519 and just your how high your emotional intelligence is in 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.160 the first place.

And so when I'm texting you is like, you know, 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.720 this dude knows like he knows the game. How long 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.200 have you been fighting? Be thirteen years? In August. That's 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:19.800 what I'm saying. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.880 Like you've been in the fight game so long, it's 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.000 like it just seems like such a like the biggest 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.080 moment because it's happening right now and it's the UFC 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.880 two sixty two, Like it seems so huge because it's 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.800 you know, obviously I know all of us we're tuned 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.760 in watching. Like again I was telling Cody, because we're 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.560 all fired up at the house watching and we're moving. 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.240 It's not like when Cody used to wrestle, like being 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.280 on the mat watching him wrestling, and then when it happens, 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:46.680 you're just kind of like it just takes the energy 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.160 out and you just the moment seems so huge and 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.920 that at that point in time. But it's like you've 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:53.840 been in the fight game so long, you you like, 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:55.360 this is this is. 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.320 Like part of the journey. Yeah, it is, and I mean, 0:03:58.360 --> 0:03:59.920 I think the biggest thing. And this is why I 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.640 so to give a little bit of background. You know, 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.560 we already planned this to be here. You know, we 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.760 did have the boat the belt on ye he said, 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.560 the belt is coming to the bus and that's fucking sick. 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.960 And you know, you sent me a nice text you know, 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.440 like keep your head up type of deal. And then 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.880 you followed back up and then I said, hey, just 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.440 so you know, like I'll see you on the bus. 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.039 And we were like, you know, I'm not quite sure, 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:22.800 you know, Okay, Yeah, if you're down with it, let's 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.760 let's go. But you don't have to feel me out 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.400 like that. The seat was open because I was like, hey, man, 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:28.200 thinking about you. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.600 Yeah, and said something else and you're like, yo, can 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:32.840 I still come on the bus at one pm? 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.880 I was like, you're goddamn right, like we got to 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.800 see warm for you. Well, and that's I mean. And 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.200 that's the thing, man, the old the old me would 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.680 have you know. I kind of give a talk now 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.120 about because I lost three fights in a row six 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:46.760 hundred and eighty eight days. I went without winning a 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.200 fight back a couple of years ago. And I made 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.520 three mistakes, and the number one, the first mistake I 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.520 made was I wanted to hide from the loss. Media 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.400 was calling me. I was up for five of the year. 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.000 They wanted me to present an award at the World 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.560 MMA Awards. Hey, come present this award. I didn't take 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.599 anybody's phone calls, anybody's text messages, anybody's emails. I was 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:11.360 off social media because I was just embarrassed, ashamed. I 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:16.880 wanted to hide. But man, this is where the growth happens. 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.359 That happens, the growth happens in these moments where I 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.440 can sit next to you. I mean a guy who's lost. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.960 I mean, you're an athlete. Everyone in here. It doesn't 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.960 matter if you're an athlete, if you're a non athlete. 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.960 We all suffer loss, we all suffer setbacks. We all 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.560 make promises that we want to make good on. Like 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.880 I wanted to bring that belt home, Like me and 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:38.000 my son prayed for Daddy's belt every single night for 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.400 the last two months, the last eight weeks, we prayed 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.040 every single night about Daddy's belt and why Daddy is gone, 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.680 Why Daddy has to be in Florida, has to be working, 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.279 has to be training, has to be away from his son, 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.080 away from his fatherly duties, away from the promise that 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.440 I made to him. So I wanted to make good 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.720 on that promise. But the belt is just the piece 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.640 of the twelve pounds of leather and gold that signifies 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.520 being a world champion. But in order to be a 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.479 champion in life, you have to keep moving from setback 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:11.120 to setback without losing the enthusiasm, without losing this steam, 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.040 with complete disregard to my previous failures, my previous setbacks, 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.920 one that just happened forty eight hours ago. I still 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.080 got the black guy to prove it. You know, that 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.600 was a million you know, millions of people saw it. 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.600 And there's I'm sure there's a lot of people saying 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.400 a lot of things about me, you know, eating my 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.440 words and I wasn't that good or I wasn't you know. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.040 But I'm choosing not to hear those things and just 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.360 moving forward in a positive light that this is part 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.160 of the journey and when we do win that belt, 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:37.960 when the belt does come on, the belt for the 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.680 boys with the boys, it's going to be even better. 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.280 So I hit the ground running this morning. I got 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.600 a sauna session in forty minutes, just you know, discipline myself, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.080 Like Tommy, h no, I actually have one here. It's 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.280 not put together. We just moved and stuff. So I 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.839 just went to the YMCA and which is much hotter anyway. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.320 So I sat there for forty minutes and sweated it out, 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.720 sweated out the sweat that was in me for that 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.560 fight and then sweated it out. Monday morning, we hit 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.560 the we hit the ground, run and did something for 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.120 my body, my soul. And now here we are talking 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:13.280 about it, expressing through the loss, admitting the failure, but 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:14.960 not only admitting the failure, sitting here with a smile 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.560 on my face, saying, Saturday really did end. Saturday night 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.960 and Sunday morning a new sun rose, and Monday morning 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.200 the sun rose again a little bit more painfully, a 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.240 little bit more you know, a little bit more tough. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.080 But man, this is It's all part of life, this, 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.880 this whole thing. And that's why people are drawn to 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.480 mixed martial arts, is that is it's a metaphor for life. 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.840 Like what I went through on Insat on Saturday night, 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.120 had a really had a great first round one ten 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.440 eight on two of the three scorecards, and then got caught, 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.720 you know, got caught and lost, you know, and the 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.800 other guy left with the belt that I was supposed 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.760 to have. But yeah, this is life. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.760 Talk about because before we get into all the fight 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.679 and everything like that, talk about those the next twenty 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.480 four hours after that loss, after you you recollect your thoughts, 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.400 you give the you give the interview with Joe Rogan, like, 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.200 what are the next twenty four hours actually, like, like, yes, 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.560 the sun does rise, and I think this is I 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.680 was telling Garrett on the way over. The reason I'm uh, 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.800 I was fired up about talking to you is because 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.920 this is the majority of everyone's journey in life anyway, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.320 is failures. Most of the time, you fail your way 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.480 to the top, Like you go through so many setbacks 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.600 to end up see you at the top getting to 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.720 the top, Like it's not just some escalator that takes 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.360 you up there, Like this is. 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.840 The majority of what life looks like is losing. Yep. 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.720 So take us through those first twenty four hours after 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.160 after the loss, after the press. 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:41.960 Conference, you're banging your head against the mic. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.839 Like you can see the emotion, like it was it 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.520 sucked watching it and you just know like fuck, man, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.240 take us through those those first twenty four to forty 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:51.560 eight hours. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.120 Well, I think I think the hardest thing, the hardest 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.480 part about mixed martial arts is it is it is 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.720 just so tumultuous. There there is always a chance that 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.120 you can lose, even with even if you're a thousand 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.280 to one favorite man, we're wearing four ounce gloves, these 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.560 tiny little bitty gloves, and you have these spots on 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.000 your body, you know, the temple, the chin, wherever it 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:14.719 may be, the liver, wherever it may be, where the 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.000 body just shuts off and says, nope, we're done and 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:21.920 the fight is over. And I prepared perfectly. I left 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.320 no stone unturned. I did every single thing that I 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.160 possibly could. Lived my life like a champion. From the 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.480 moment Hunter Campbell, who is number two in command at 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.839 the UFC, and then Dana called me that that same day, 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.880 and whenever they called me and said, hey, you're fighting 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:39.040 Charles olivera May fifteenth for the UFC title. From that moment, 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.040 I lived my life like a champion, did exactly what 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.280 I needed to do to put myself in the best 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:49.760 situation to win. So when it's over and you don't win, 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.840 then it's then it's just you know, the kind of 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.079 the bang in the head on the mic. I think 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.880 it was after a reporter named Mark RIMONDI answered or 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.200 asked me a question about something, and that's when you know, 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:02.520 every now and then it just kind of hits you 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.400 and you're like, dang man, it's over, Like it's over. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.600 You can't get this one back. It's not a dream. 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:08.679 You're not gonna wake up and the bell's about to 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.040 ring and you're gonna get another chance. 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:14.040 Yeah, that's that's exactly what we were saying. Like, I'm 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.880 gonna let you finish my thought too. But when you 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.160 like lose a playoff game or something happens where it's 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.200 just not and it was the same thing when when 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.800 it was final that you had lost, it's like waking 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.040 up from a dream and that bell's gonna ring again 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:28.480 and you're gonna have another shot. 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.760 Yep, because I've had those nightmares, and a lot of 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.280 times I do have those nightmares. Two weeks before, right, 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.120 two three weeks before before the fight, I imagine, or I 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.079 think I wake up in a cold sweat in the 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.480 middle of night, like I got knocked out, I got 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.000 choked out, or I got extremely tired, I got outclassed, 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:46.480 I got just got beat. And you know, that's kind 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.280 of what it felt like when when the press conference 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:50.760 is over, then it's like, Okay, now you go back 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:52.680 to normal life. I knew even even after the fight 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:54.679 back there it was just me and my wife. I'm 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.200 freaking crying, my cry my eyes out. Yusada is right there. 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.240 Almost pretty much almost us that guy out because I'm like, dude, 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.440 give me a second to breathe. Man, like I'm gonna 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:04.559 pie in your cup. I'll get it. 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.240 It's always trying to get you to take a pissed 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:07.640 test right right when you got back. 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.040 Oh man, well, I I was in the I went 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:11.760 back to go see the doctor and he's doing the 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.880 lights and the eyes to check my eyes, check my balance, 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.719 check my concussion, whatever protocols. And he's there and he's like, 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.120 hey man, and I'm with you, Sada, you gotta pee 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.200 in this cup. I'm like, okay, well give me a second, man, 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.440 Like give me, give me one second. And uh so 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.440 then he followed me back there and just me and breathe, 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.280 and then I, you know, did the use side of thing. 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.960 I apologize to him because I wasn't wasn't the nicest. 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.079 Did you cuss? Maybe? Probably? I don't know, man, you 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:36.560 don't cuss. 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.680 You're pretty, you're pretty, you're pretty disciplined with the custiner. 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.160 Yeah, I mean, I don't know, man, it's and I 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.040 think it's it's just it's that you know when it 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.320 hits you, that it's it's over. And and that's but 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.000 that's the thing. I I truly sit here, I truly 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.480 sit here with zero regrets, like I did every single 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.400 thing that I possibly could. And this is just the 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:59.920 nature of life in general outside of an octagon, but 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.880 in the octagon especially, it's just the nature of the 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.600 business man. You you win some and you lose some, 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.880 and unfortunately you're gonna lose often. I mean, I fought 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:10.199 the number three guy in the world, guy who was 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:11.719 on an eight fight winning streak, a guy who's not 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.280 the number one guy in the world, a guy who 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.760 you know, he's great, he's good. My next fight is 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.800 gonna be against another guy who's top five. It was great. 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.839 Whoever that is like, I'm you know, you're fighting in 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.720 the upper echelon. You're going You're going to lose, and 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.760 so I think that was that was just it. It's like, 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.280 man if I had another shot, I would probably win 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.440 that fight, you know. So you then you start playing 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.319 you replaying it over and it's like, should I have 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:36.959 let him up in the first round, and should or 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.560 should I have done this? Or should I have done that? 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.120 But when you did every single thing that you possibly 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.600 could to put yourself in the best situation to win, 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.559 you really can't have any regrets. And and that's the 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.960 only thing I can ask for. If I if I 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.880 lost that fight and I was like, gosh, dang man, 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.960 if that weight cut wasn't so bad because I wasn't 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.840 disciplined with my weight, or if I, you know, came 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.480 in and I didn't and I and I knew I 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.720 didn't really train that hard, or I didn't I slacked 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:01.560 in this I slacked in the area I had no 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.120 I had none of that because I did every single 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.160 thing that I possibly could to win the fight, to 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.480 get myself in the position when that cage door closed 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.000 and that bell rang that I was going to showcase 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.600 my skills and may the best man win. That's what 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.079 I said. That's what I always say. I preach it 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.439 all the time. You you got to embrace the uncertainty 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.760 that's about to happen. And part of embracing that uncertainty 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.600 is the fact that you may lose. Shoot, there might 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.640 even be a fifty percent chance that you're gonna lose, 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.240 a more than fifty percent chance that you're gonna lose 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.559 because you're fighting the best guy in the world. It's like, 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.600 like you said, a playoff game. You don't just fall 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:36.400 to the playoffs. So you just fall into a playoff game. 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.400 You have to be good enough to be in a 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.280 playoff game. And then chances are you're you're playing against 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.839 a team who is really freaking good, and you're both 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.040 rising to the occasion. You're both rising to the occasion. 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.200 And then made the best man win, and the better 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.959 man won that night. I guess if you will, or 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.120 that night he was the better man. We could fight 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:55.880 ten more times and I could win ten more times. 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.120 You never It's just part of the game. I know, man. 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.440 And two, I didn't know it took him so long 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:02.400 to get a title fight. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.880 Somebody had mentioned a stat that it's been eleven years since, 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.520 like this was his first title fight, and it's been 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.040 like eleven years for him to be in the game 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:11.200 to get a chance. 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.360 He signed with the UFC in twenty ten. I started 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.000 fighting in two thousand and nine. So the guy's been 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.480 cut his teeth in the organization. And that's what I said. 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.960 I mean, and a lot of people, a lot of 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.000 people see the things that I say on the microphone 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:25.880 or in interviews or this and that, like I'm hyping 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:27.800 up a fight, and I wasn't hyping up a fight. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:32.160 I truly believed that Charles Olaverro wanted to win just 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:33.960 as bad as I did. This was his opportunity when 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.560 he was born in the favelas of Brazil, which is 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.400 like the ghettos of Brazil, and he had this glimmer 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:41.560 in his eye that he was going to one day 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.400 become a world champion in the UFC. This was that 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:48.520 moment that he dreamed about, right, you know, and taken 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.280 off away from him. He beat me, you know, And 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.880 but I truly believed that I was going to beat him. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.280 And that's when that's when, that's when magic happens. When 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.520 he got two guys or two teams, or two two 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:05.040 individuals fighting for the same for the same exact thing. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.440 Someone's got to win, someone's gotta lose, and then it 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.040 just then it just after that. It all depends on 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:12.720 how does he respond as the champion and how do 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.600 I respond to the guy who who lost in the 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.640 championship fight. And I think by just by sitting here 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.920 speaking about it, we get to move forward quicker than 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.320 if we hide from it, shield our eyes from it, 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.640 not answer the phone calls, not you know, all of 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.760 a sudden just think that I'm not that good anymore, 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.840 or fall into this self pity, the self perpetual, the perpetuating, 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.720 revolving door of Okay, maybe I'm not that good and 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.040 I truly believe I'm still gonna be a UFC champion. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.640 It just gonna take a little bit longer than I thought. Dude, Yeah, 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.560 I mean, you're right, man. Adversity shows people who they 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.960 are because it's all about how you respond to anything 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:54.280 that happens ever in your life.
