00:00:00.000 The number one question I got asked this year was, what is it like to fight a UFC champion?
00:00:07.040 And it's always funny hearing that because I'm reminded that actually happened.
00:00:11.880 I usually just shrug and say,
00:00:14.600 Hey Ray.
00:00:18.060 Never went down, Ray.
00:00:20.500 You never got me down, Ray.
00:00:23.700 You hear me?
00:00:25.660 Never got me down.
00:00:27.080 Nice to meet you, Siko.
00:00:28.320 And congrats on the win and everything.
00:00:30.000 Fuck you, Siko.
00:00:30.820 Are you an influencer?
00:00:32.020 Sorry, I don't like that term.
00:00:33.680 Majority of influencers are cunts.
00:00:35.660 Be a decent man, grab TikTok, you'll have a better life.
00:00:38.500 It's Siko, right?
00:00:39.620 Sean Strickland.
00:00:40.620 When are we going to fucking spar, Robert?
00:00:41.960 We're going to set that shit up and get it out.
00:00:43.380 I'm ready to go.
00:00:44.160 I'm ready.
00:00:44.500 I think that'd be fun.
00:00:45.320 How long are you down there?
00:00:46.280 I got you, bro.
00:00:47.140 We'll be at 11.
00:00:47.940 All right, I'll see you then.
00:00:48.480 Three rounds, Bob.
00:00:50.600 As we get closer to the three-minute mark, you're about to feel a significant more amount of pain.
00:00:56.440 I should be setting it in right now.
00:00:58.100 Nothing that you do can hurt me.
00:00:59.520 And this is the moment that as you're realizing, you're about to have a really bad fucking day.
00:01:06.520 Oh.
00:01:07.020 Oh,
00:01:37.020 You need to just fall down.
00:01:39.020 That's good.
00:01:40.020 Any shots, man?
00:01:42.020 He didn't go down.
00:01:43.020 He was a hard shot.
00:01:44.020 World champion.
00:01:45.020 What are you doing to tell?
00:01:47.020 Never got me down.
00:01:49.020 Yeah, see, look.
00:01:51.020 That's what I see.
00:01:53.020 So don't stop you beating my leg.
00:01:58.020 Stop me, cause I'm having a good time.
00:02:02.020 Having a good time.
00:02:04.020 I'm a star leaping through the sky like a tiger defying the laws of gravity.
00:02:11.020 I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva.
00:02:15.020 I'm gonna go, go, go.
00:02:17.020 There's no stopping me.
00:02:20.020 I'm burning through the sky.
00:02:23.020 Fighting a UFC champion 60 pounds heavier than you is exactly what it sounds like.
00:02:28.020 Painful.
00:02:29.020 But so far, nothing good in life has come without some pain.
00:02:32.020 The year started with a concussion and getting Hollywooded in the same day.
00:02:36.020 Oh, and nearly getting Charles Barkley fired.
00:02:39.020 I wasn't really comfortable with the women doing this shit.
00:02:41.020 I'm not gonna lie.
00:02:42.020 Uh-uh.
00:02:43.020 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:44.020 They should be in the kitchen.
00:02:45.020 Oh, my God.
00:02:46.020 First of all, you better be careful.
00:02:48.020 You can't say that shit.
00:02:49.020 It was too much chaos.
00:02:50.020 I decided to drop everything and travel the world.
00:02:53.020 The first stop was Stockton, California to train with my favorite fighter growing up,
00:02:57.020 Nate Diaz.
00:02:58.020 We sparred off camera.
00:02:59.020 Yeah.
00:03:00.020 Yeah, I went.
00:03:01.020 Let's get on.
00:03:02.020 The following four months, I was only home for a week, ranging from Lebanon to Bosnia,
00:03:07.020 then Saudi Arabia to Morocco.
00:03:09.020 I hit 20-something countries, seeing more of the world this year than the rest of my
00:03:13.020 life combined.
00:03:14.020 Why should I stay home where my industry friends had turned into celebrities?
00:03:20.020 I had already secured a hefty streaming contract and there was no clause against traveling.
00:03:25.020 You already know the importance of exploration.
00:03:27.020 I don't need a drone on.
00:03:28.020 But I learned from Greece to Portugal to France and then back.
00:03:31.020 No matter where you are, keep your circle intact.
00:03:34.020 I came home and concluded the year with debates and with politics, exciting victories and
00:03:59.020 shouting matches alike.
00:04:00.020 It feels good to be optimistic finally.
00:04:03.020 I needed that after the amount of beatings I've taken this year.
00:04:06.020 Getting banned on Instagram, Twitch, Kick, fights with security guards, and drama with
00:04:11.020 co-workers.
00:04:12.020 I was finally vindicated about some of those people, but the rest of them used all their
00:04:16.020 power to make sure of my demise.
00:04:18.020 But none of it worked.
00:04:19.020 I'm still here, never knocked down.
00:04:21.020 And as the year closes, I keep wondering why.
00:04:24.020 Because on paper, I shouldn't still be here.
00:04:26.020 I'm not particularly interesting, not that intimidating, abnormally intelligent, or uniquely
00:04:31.020 gifted.
00:04:32.020 But I am extremely flawed, often awkward, overconfident, and balding.
00:04:36.020 And I realize the only thing keeping me around is heart.
00:04:39.020 A very big, veiny, girthy black heart.
00:04:43.020 It's the only common denominator preventing me from dying trapped in a cage with a killer.
00:04:48.020 One that allows me to remain mentally resilient through it all and relatable to people all over
00:04:53.020 the world.
00:04:54.020 I realize this year just how much my belief has carried me.
00:04:57.020 Through obstacles people did not know we were capable of hurtling, especially me.
00:05:01.020 I am certain 2025 is going to be a great year, but best believe there will be plenty more
00:05:06.020 punches thrown.
00:05:07.020 Just make sure you never go down.
00:05:09.020 You hear me?
00:05:22.020 You hear me?
